SECTION III. MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSISI. Industry situation of the company during the reporting periodThe Company belongs to the steel industry, which is an important basic industry of China's national economy, an important supportfor building a modern and powerful country, and an important area for achieving green and low-carbon development.The global steel market was gloomy, the operating environment of steel industry was severe and the industry level has beendecreasing in 2023. The development trend is largely presented as “huge supply elasticity and slow demand recovery”. The mainforce that engines steel production increase is that steel export increases and the steel demand of domestic manufacturing industrywhile the main reason of decreasing consumption is the shrinking steel demand of construction industry. Although prices of importedore fell year on year, the decreasing extent of steel enterpises’ cost is actually lower than the decreasing amplitude of steel prices.Whole profit of the industry has decreased year on year and performance indicators have been at a low level in recent years.Under the co-effect of “two carbon”target (carbon peaking and carbon neutrality) and economy condition at home and abroad, Steelindustry in China has been under an in-depth Adjustment of supply and demand structure. The year of 2024 is the crucial stage of“the 14th Five Year Plan”as well as the key stage when the Long-Range Objectives through the Year 2035 is being shaped and in themaking. The expected changes in the supply side of steel industry are not obvious and it is expected that there will be mild recoveryon the demand side. “Strong board and long-term weakness (of the stock price)”structure will continue. Meanwhile, under theblueprint of “two carbon”, the domestic steel industry will face a bunch of challenges and opportunities such as “industrialgreenization and premiumisation, procedure intelligentization ”. Steel enterprises nationwide will have to face the co-existence ofthree periods, namely “platform period for supply, adjusting period for demand and differentiation period for profit”. Faced withthese challenges, the iron and steel industry will face necessary adjustments and countermeasures. Enterprises need to pay moreattention to improving technological innovation, reducing production costs, strengthening the development of domestic and foreignmarkets, and seeking new growth points. They should focus on strengthening and deepening the basic business disk on the basis ofscale, consolidate the core competitiveness of products with technological innovation, and accelerate the transformation to high-end, green, efficient and intelligent.

Research on preparation technology of high strength and high reactivity coke for hydrogen-rich smelting of blast furnaceIn terms of the current development trend of the iron and steel industry, the long process smelting process will not be replaced in a short time. In order to achieve the goal of carbon peak and carbon neutralization, it is important to study how to reduce the carbon reduction technology of blast furnace fuel ratio to promote the low carbonization and high efficiency of blast furnace iron making. Therefore, it is of great significance for the sustainable development of coal industry and iron and steel industry to study the method of using high reactivity and high strength coke to partially replace traditional coke and reduce the coke ratio by reducing the temperature of heat reserve area.The researches show that with the increase of CaO and MgO content in coal, the catalytic effect of coke solution loss reaction is obvious, but the strength after reaction shows a decreasing trend. When the content of CaO is more than 0.2 %, the CSR of coke after reaction decreases by 16 %. At the same time, the microscopic strength and structural strength of coke were studied. ( 2 ) According to the follow-up project research plan, it is proposed to appropriately add binders to the coking coal with CaO and MgO to strengthen the coking experiment of coke strength after reaction, so as to improve the coke reactivity and improve the coke strength after reaction by adding binder reinforcement.(1) In view of the systematic research on the coal quality characteristics and coking characteristics of coking coal in Benxi Iron and Steel Co., Ltd., taking the basic blended coal of Benxi Iron and Steel Co., Ltd.as the raw material, the coke reactivity CRI is increased by 1~3 percentage points under the condition that the CSR of coke after reaction is basically the same as that of coke prepared by basic blended coal. When the CSR of the prepared coke is 2 percentage points lower than that of the base coke, the CRI of the coke reactivity is increased by 4~5 percentage points. (2) On the basis of ensuring that the cold strength M40 and hot strength CSR of coke are basically stable on the basis of coke made by the basic coal blending institute, the need to reduce a certain amount of CO2 emission by the existing blast furnace every year is met.On the basis of ensuring that the coke has a certain CSR and M40 strength. When the coke CRI index is appropriately increased, the blast furnace can maintain a high utilization coefficient, and at the same time achieve the purpose of carbon reduction, which plays a positive role in the company 's realization of carbon emission targets.

The year of 2024 is a key year to implement the spirit of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China andpromote the implementation of the 14th Five-Year Plan. It is also an important year for Benxi Iron and Steel Plate to deepen reform,strengthen chain, upgrade and improve core competitiveness. At present, the steel industry has entered a critical period of high-quality development. Green low-carbon and intelligent manufacturing have brought more severe challenges and disruptive changes.The industry's consumer demand is insufficient, corporate profits continue to decline, and market uncertainty factors increase. Weshould not only face up to the difficulties, but also be confident. The Central Economic Work Conference pointed out that it isnecessary to fully optimize the policy mix, effectively guide market expectations, and stabilize market confidence. As a listed companydominated by high-quality plate in Ansteel Group, we shall move towards the goal of “first parade” of domestic automobile steel,

Bengang Steel Plates Co., Ltd. 2023 Annual Report

further optimize and strengthen the brand of automobile steel, and enhance the influence of core products and the profitability ofenterprises.(II) Company development strategyGeneral policy of production and management and instructive guiding thought for work in 2024 of the Company: :Take XiJinping Thoughts on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics in the New Era as the guiding principle, study and implement the spiritof the 20th Party Congress and The Second Plenary Session of the 20th Central Committee. Uphold the principle of innovation,maintain strategic concentration, take high-quality development as the primary task, and play a good role as the vanguard andmain force in building a new development pattern of “Reform + Lean” and “Digital + Technology” .(III) Business planIn 2023, the production and operation target: strive to complete 10.33 million tons of pig iron, 11.15 million tons of crude steel,

10.46 million tons of hot-rolled plate, 6.66 million tons of cold-rolled plate and 458,000 tons of special steel to realize safetyproduction target of “Three Zeroes”(Zero responsible accident, Zero personal injury and Zero damage to the environment).In order to implement the above overall work concept and production and management objectives, we focus our efforts on thefollowing aspects:

1. Risks of macroeconomic policies

The Russian-Ukrainian war and the Palestinian-Israeli Conflict are continuing, the century-old changes accelerated, and the worldeconomic recovery was weak. The foundation of China 's economic recovery is not yet solid. Economic development is facing thetriple pressure of demand contraction, supply shock and expectation weakening. The external export environment is severe and thedownward pressure on the economy is increasing. The downstream demand of the domestic steel industry is generally weak, andthe market pattern of supply exceeding demand has not changed fundamentally. The optimization and adjustment of domestic steellayout has accelerated, and the strategic restructuring of iron and steel enterprises has continued to advance. Changes in macropolicies such as domestic steady growth finance and finance will bring many uncertainties to the development of the steel industry.Countermeasures : First, strengthen the research on national fiscal, financial and industrial policies, fully, accurately andcomprehensively implement the new development concept, and continuously improve the forward-looking and effectiveness ofpolicy research ; the second is to seize the development opportunities of macro policy adjustment, optimize and adjust strategic

Bengang Steel Plates Co., Ltd. 2023 Annual Report

planning in time, focus on key areas such as safety, green, high efficiency, intelligence and quality, adhere to the ultimate thinking,deepen lean operation, accelerate the transformation of old and new kinetic energy, actively promote green low-carbontransformation and upgrading, create more comparative advantages, continuously improve core competitiveness, and strive toachieve high-quality development of the Company.

2. Raw fuel prices and supply risks

The global iron ore supply monopoly situation is difficult to change in the short term, the domestic iron ore demand is highlydependent on foreign countries, the short board of strategic resources such as coal and coke is obvious, the implementation time ofthe " cornerstone plan " of China 's iron and steel industry is short, and the independent control ability of the supply chain of the ironand steel industry chain is weak. The financial attributes of black resources of ore and coal char are enhanced, and speculation offloating capital at home and abroad is frequent. The energy-saving and emission reduction policies continue to deepen, and theproduction capacity of upstream coal char enterprises is limited. Various internal and external factors lead to frequent fluctuationsin raw fuel prices, and the risk of raw fuel prices and safe supply increases.Countermeasures : First, adhere to the ' predictive ' business procurement concept, strengthen the analysis and judgment of raw fuelsupply and market demand, build a raw fuel procurement model, scientifically control the procurement timing, and adjust theprocurement strategy in a timely manner ; the second is to strengthen the strategic cooperation of raw fuel supply, consolidate andexpand domestic raw fuel procurement channels, deeply aggregate raw fuel resources, accelerate the formation of domestic andforeign dual-cycle supply chain security guarantee pattern, and enhance the price advantage of scale procurement ; the third is tooptimize the production burden structure, adjust the raw fuel procurement structure, reasonably control the raw fuel inventory,effectively reduce the adverse effects of raw fuel price fluctuations, and minimize the cost of raw fuel.

3. Environmental protection risks

With the continuous strengthening of the state 's environmental protection efforts and the promotion of “carbon peak, carbonneutralization”, the environmental protection department continues to increase the supervision of the pollution control of the ironand steel industry, the environmental protection investment and operation cost of the iron and steel enterprises will increase, andthe iron and steel enterprises will face increasing environmental protection pressure.Countermeasures : First, establish and improve the production and operation system of green low-carbon cycle development, thatis, through the upgrading of equipment energy conservation and environmental protection, the promotion and application ofadvanced technology, further improve the efficiency of resource and energy utilization, promote ultra-low emission transformationand comprehensive treatment of pollutants, and continuously reduce carbon emission intensity ; second, actively carry out productecological design and life cycle assessment to create green and low-carbon products ; the third is to strengthen the operation andmaintenance of existing environmental protection equipment and facilities and standardized operation control, focusing onstrengthening the monitoring of atmospheric pollution sources ; the fourth is to build a “AAA” level scenic spot garden factory as thestarting point, and strive to improve the factory environment.XII.

For subsidiaries through acquisition that are now under commoncontrol, the financial statements are adjusted according to the fair value ofidentifiable net assets on the acquisition date. For subsidiaries through acquisitionthat are under common control, the assets, and liabilities (as well as the goodwillarising from purchasing the subsidiary by the ultimate controller) are adjustedaccording to the book value of net assets in the financial statements of the ultimatecontroller.

The owners’ interests, profit or loss, and comprehensive income of the subsidiaryattributable to the non-controlling shareholders shall be presented separately in theshareholders’ equity of the consolidated balance sheet and under the item of netprofit of the consolidated statement of comprehensive income and under the item

Notes of Financial Report Page 6

of total comprehensive income. Where losses assumed by the minority exceed theminority’s interests in the beginning equity of a subsidiary, the excess shall becharged against the minority’s interests.

(1) Increasing new subsidiaries and businesses

If the Company has a new subsidiary due to a business combination under commoncontrol during the reporting period, it shall adjust the beginning balance in theconsolidated statement of financial position when preparing the consolidatedstatement of financial position. The revenue, expenses and profits of thesubsidiaries from the acquisition date to the end of the reporting period areincluded in the Company’s consolidated statement of comprehensive income. Thecash flow of the subsidiaries from the acquisition date to the end of the reportingperiod is included in the Company’s consolidated statement of cash flows. Andmeanwhile, the Company shall adjust the relevant items of the comparativefinancial statements as if the reporting entity for the purpose of consolidation hasbeen in existence since the date the ultimate controlling party first obtained control.

When the Company becomes capable of exercising control over an investee undercommon control due to additional investment or other reasons, adjustment shallbe made as if the reporting entity after the combination has been in existence sincethe date the ultimate controlling party first obtained control. The investmentincome recognized between the date of previously obtaining equity investment andthe date the acquiree and acquirer are under common control, which is later, andthe combining date, other comprehensive income and other changes of net assetsarising from the equity investment previously held before obtaining the control theacquiree shall be adjusted against the prior retained earnings of the comparativefinancial statements and the current profit or loss respectively.

If it is now under common control, the Company shall not adjust the beginningbalance in the consolidated statement of financial position when preparing theconsolidated statement of financial position. The revenue, expenses and profits ofthe subsidiaries from the acquisition date to the end of the reporting period areincluded in the parent company’s consolidated statement of comprehensive income.The cash flow of the subsidiaries from the acquisition date to the end of the

Notes of Financial Report Page 7

reporting period is included in the Company’s consolidated statement of cash flows.

When the Company becomes capable of exercising control over an investee nowunder common control due to additional investment or other reasons, the acquirershall remeasure its previously held equity interest in the acquiree to its fair value atthe acquisition date. The difference between the fair value and the carrying amountshall be recognized as investment income for the period when the acquisition takesplace. When the previously-held equity investment is accounted for under theequity method, any other comprehensive income previously recognized in relationto the acquiree’s equity changes shall be transferred to profit or loss for the currentperiod when the acquisition takes place. Other comprehensive income arising fromthe remeasurement of the defined benefit plan is excluded.

(2) Disposing subsidiaries or businesses

① General treatment

If the Company disposes of a subsidiary during the reporting period, the revenue,expenses and profits of the subsidiary from the beginning of the reporting periodto the disposal date are included in the Company’s consolidated statement ofcomprehensive income. The cash flow of the subsidiaries from the beginning of thereporting period to the disposal date is included in the Company’s consolidatedstatement of cash flows.

When the Company loses control over an investee due to partial disposal or otherreasons, the acquirer shall re-measure the remaining equity interests in theacquiree to its fair value at the acquisition date. The difference, between sums ofthe consideration received for the disposal of equity shares and fair value of theremaining shares, and sums of share of net assets of the subsidiary calculatedcontinuously from the acquisition date or the combination date based on theprevious shareholding proportion and goodwill shall be recognized as investmentincome for the period when the Company loses control over acquiree. When thepreviously-held equity investment is accounted for under the equity method, anyother comprehensive income previously recognized in relation to the acquiree’sequity changes, and other equity changes rather than changes from net profit,other comprehensive income and profit distribution, shall be transferred toinvestment income for the current period when the Company loses control over

Notes of Financial Report Page 8

acquiree. Other comprehensive income arising from re-measurement of thedefined benefit plan is excluded. When the Company loses control over a subsidiarydue to the increase of capital from other investors and thus the shareholding ratioof the Company declines, accounting treatment shall be in accordance with theabove-mentioned principles.

②Disposing subsidiaries by multiple transactions

Where the Company loses control of a subsidiary in multiple transactions in whichit disposes of its subsidiary in stages, in determining whether to account for themultiple transactions as a single transaction, the Company shall consider all of theterms and conditions of the transactions and their economic effects. One or moreof the following may indicate that the Company shall account for the multiplearrangements as a single transaction:

(1) Arrangements are entered into at the same time or in contemplation of eachother;

(2) Arrangements work together to achieve an overall commercial effect;

(3) The occurrence of one arrangement is dependent on the occurrence of at leastone other arrangement; and

(4) One arrangement considered on its own is not economically justified, but it iseconomically justified when considered together with other arrangements.

If each of the multiple transactions forms part of a bundled transaction whicheventually results in loss of control of the subsidiary, these multiple transactionsshall be accounted for as a single transaction. In the consolidated financialstatements, the difference between the consideration received and thecorresponding proportion of the subsidiary’s net assets in each transaction prior tothe loss of control shall be recognized in other comprehensive income andtransferred to the profit or loss when the Company eventually loses control of thesubsidiary.

If each of the multiple transactions which eventually results in loss of control of thesubsidiary does not form part of a bundled transaction, apply the treatment ofdisposing of partial long-term equity investments in a subsidiary without loss ofcontrol prior to the loss of control. After the loss of control, apply the treatment ofdisposing of the subsidiary in common cases.

Notes of Financial Report Page 9

(3) Acquiring the subsidiaries’ equity interest held by non-controlling shareholdersWhere the Company has acquired a subsidiary’s equity interest held by non-controlling shareholders, the difference between the increase in the cost of long-term investments as a result of the acquisition of non-controlling interests and theshare of net assets of the subsidiary calculated continuously from the acquisitiondate or the combination date based on the new shareholding proportion shall beadjusted to the capital reserve( capital premium or share premium) in theconsolidated financial statements. If the balance of the capital reserve is notsufficient, any excess shall be adjusted against retained earnings.

(4) Disposing portion of equity investments in subsidiaries without losing control

When the Company disposes of a portion of the long-term equity investments in asubsidiary without loss of control, the difference between the amount of theconsideration received and the corresponding portion of the net assets of thesubsidiary calculated continuously from the acquisition date or the combinationdate related to the disposal of the long-term equity investments shall be adjustedto the capital reserve (capital premium or share premium) in the consolidatedfinancial statements. If the balance of the capital reserve is not sufficient, any excessshall be adjusted against retained earnings.(VII) Classification of joint venture arrangements and accounting treatment

Joint venture arrangements are divided into joint operations and joint ventures.When the Company is a joint venture party of a joint venture arrangement and has theassets related to the arrangement and assumes the liabilities related to the arrangement,it is a joint operation.The Company confirms the following items related to the share of interest in the jointoperation

(1). Confirm the assets held by the Company separately, and confirm the assets held jointlyby the Company's share;

(2). Recognize the liabilities assumed by the Company separately and the liabilities jointlyassumed by the Company's share;

(3). Recognize the income generated by the sale of the Company’s share of commonoperating output;

(4). Recognize the revenue generated from the sale of joint operations based on theCompany's share;

Notes of Financial Report Page 10

(5). Confirm the expenses incurred separately and the expenses incurred in the jointoperation according to the Company's share.

The Company uses equity method to calculate, for details, see Notes “III. (XIII) Long-termequity investment”.

(VIII) Criteria for determining cash and cash equivalents

The term “cash” refers to the cash on hand and the unrestricted deposit. And the term“cash equivalents” refers to short-term (maturing within three months from acquisition)and highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash andwhich are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value.

(IX) Foreign currency transaction and translation of foreign currency financial statements

1. Foreign currency transaction

Foreign currency transactions are translated into RMB at the current rate on the dayof transactions.The foreign currency monetary items shall be translated at the spot exchange rateon the balance sheet date. The balance of exchange arising from the differencebetween the spot exchange rate on the balance sheet date and the spot exchangerate at the time of initial recognition or prior to the balance sheet date, except thosearising from the raising of special foreign debt for the purchase or construction ofcapitalizable assets thus shall be capitalized according to the borrowing costscapitalization principle, shall be recorded into the profits and losses at the currentperiod.

2. Translation of foreign currency financial statements

The asset and liability items in the statement of financial position shall be translatedat a spot exchange rate on the balance sheet date. Among the owner's equity items,except the ones as "undistributed profits", others shall be translated at the spotexchange rate at the time when they are incurred. The income and expense itemsin the income statement shall be translated using an exchange rate that isdetermined in a systematic and reasonable manner and approximates the spotexchange rate on the transaction date.When disposing of an overseas business, the Company shall shift the balance, which

Notes of Financial Report Page 11

is presented under the items of the owner's equities in the statement of financialposition and arises from the translation of foreign currency financial statementsrelated to this oversea business, into the disposal profits and losses of the currentperiod.

(X) Financial instruments

Financial instruments include financial assets, financial liabilities and equity instruments.

1. Classification of financial instruments

A financial asset shall be measured at amortized cost if both of the followingconditions are met. The financial asset is held within a business model whoseobjective is to hold financial assets in order to collect contractual cash flows and thecontractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flowsthat are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amountoutstanding.

The Company classifies financial assets that meet the following conditions and arenot designated as at fair value through profit or loss as financial assets measured atamortized cost:

- The financial asset is held within a business model whose objective is to holdfinancial assets in order to collect contractual cash flows;- The contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cashflows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amountoutstanding.

The Company classifies financial assets that meet the following conditions and arenot designated as at fair value through profit or loss as financial assets (debtinstruments) at fair value through other comprehensive income:

- The financial asset is held within a business model whose objective is achievedby both collecting contractual cash flows and selling financial assets;- The contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cashflows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amountoutstanding.

The Company may make an election at initial recognition for non-trading equity

Notes of Financial Report Page 12

instrument investments whether it is designated as a financial asset (equityinstrument) that is measured at fair value through other comprehensive income.The designation is made on the basis of a single investment, and the relatedinvestment meets the definition of an equity instrument from the issuer'sperspective.

Other financial assets other than these are classified as financial assets measuredat fair value through profit or loss. At the initial recognition, in order to eliminate orsignificantly reduce accounting mismatches, financial assets that should beclassified as measured at amortized value or financial assets measured at fair valuethrough other comprehensive income can be designated as financial assetsmeasured at fair value through profit or loss.

The Company shall classify financial liabilities as financial liabilities measured atamortized cost and financial liabilities measured at fair value through profit or lossat initial measurement.

The Company may, at initial recognition, designate a financial liability as measuredat fair value through profit or loss because either:

1)it eliminates or significantly reduces an accounting mismatch;2)a group of financial liabilities or financial assets and financial liabilities ismanaged and its performance is evaluated on a fair value basis, in accordance witha documented risk management or investment strategy, and information about thegroup is provided internally on that basis to the entity’s key management personnel;3)the financial liability contains embedded derivatives that need to be separated.

2. Recognition and measurement of financial instruments

(1) Financial assets measured at amortized cost

Financial assets measured at amortized cost include notes receivables, accountsreceivables, other receivables, long-term receivables, debt investments, etc. Atinitial recognition, the Company shall measure a financial asset at its fair value plusor minus transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issueof the financial asset. The Company shall measure account receivables at theirtransaction price if the account receivables do not contain a significant financing

Notes of Financial Report Page 13

component and account receivables that the Company has decided not to considerfor a financing component of no more than one year.

Interests calculated by using the effective interest method during the holding periodshall be recognized in profit or loss.

When recovering or disposing of the receivables, the difference between the priceobtained and the carrying value shall be recognized in current profit or loss.

(2) Financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income(debt instruments)

Financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income (debtinstruments) include receivables financing, other debt investments, etc. At initialrecognition, the Company shall measure a financial asset at its fair value plustransaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issuance of thefinancial asset. The financial assets are subsequently measured at fair value.Changes in fair value are included in other comprehensive income except forinterest calculated using the effective interest method, impairment losses or gainsand exchange gains and losses. When the financial assets are derecognized, theaccumulated gain or loss previously recognized in other comprehensive income istransferred from other comprehensive income and recognized in profit or loss.

(3) Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income (equityinstruments)

Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income (equityinstruments). include other equity instrument investments, etc. At initialrecognition, the Company shall measure a financial asset at its fair value plustransaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of thefinancial asset. The financial assets are subsequently measured at fair value.Changes in fair value are included in other comprehensive income. The dividendsobtained are recognized in profit and loss.

Notes of Financial Report Page 14

When the financial assets are derecognized, the accumulated gain or loss previously.recognized in other comprehensive income is transferred from othercomprehensive income and recognized in retained earnings.

(4) Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss include transactional financialassets, derivative financial assets, other non-current financial assets, etc.The Company shall measure the financial assets at fair value at initial recognition.Transaction costs are recognized in profit or loss.

The Company shall measure the financial assets at fair value at initial recognition.Transaction costs are recognized in profit or loss. Changes in fair value are includedin profit or loss.

When the financial liabilities are derecognized, the difference between the fairvalue and the. initially recorded amount is recognized as investment income, andthe gains and losses from changes in fair value are adjusted.

(6) Financial liabilities measured at amortized cost

Financial liabilities measured at amortized cost include short-term borrowings,notes payables, accounts payables, other payables, long-term borrowings, bondspayables, and long-term payables.

At initial recognition, the Company shall measure a financial liability at its fair valueplus transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of thefinancial asset.

Interests calculated by using the effective interest method during the holding period

Notes of Financial Report Page 15

shall be recognized in profit or loss.

When the financial liabilities are derecognized, the difference between the priceobtained and the carrying value shall be recognized in profit and loss.

3. Termination of recognition of financial assets and financial assets transfer

When one of the following conditions is met, the Company terminates therecognition of financial assets.- Termination of contractual rights to receive cash flows from financial assets;- Termination of contractual rights to receive cash flows from financial assets;- The financial assets have been transferred. Although the Company has neithertransferred nor retained almost all the risks and rewards of the ownership of thefinancial assets, it has not retained control of the financial assets.

If the Company modifies or renegotiates the contract with the counterparty andconstitutes a substantial modification, the original financial asset shall beterminated and a new financial asset shall be confirmed according to the modifiedterms.

When a financial assets are transferred, if almost all risks and rewards on theownership of the financial asset are retained, the recognition of the financial assetwill not be terminated.

To judge whether the transfer of a financial asset can satisfy the conditions asprescribed in these Standards for stopping the recognition of a financial asset, theCompany shall follow the principle of substance over form.

Transfer of an entire financial asset can be divided into partial financial assetstransfer and entire financial asset transfer. If the transfer of an entire financial assetsatisfies the conditions for de-recognition, the difference between the amounts ofthe following 2 items shall be recorded in the profits and losses of the current period:

(1) The book value of the transferred financial asset; and

(2) The sum of the consideration received from the transfer, and the accumulative

Notes of Financial Report Page 16

amount of the changes of the fair value originally recorded in the owners' equities(in the event that the financial asset involved in the transfer is a financial assetAvailable-for-sale).

If the transfer of partial financial asset satisfies the conditions to derecognize, theentire book value of the transferred financial asset shall, between the portionwhose recognition has been stopped and the portion whose recognition has notbeen stopped (under such circumstance, the service asset retained shall be deemedas a portion of the financial asset whose recognition has not been stopped), beapportioned according to their respective relative fair value, and the differencebetween the amounts of the following 2 items shall be included into the profits andlosses of the current period:

(1) The book value of the portion whose recognition has been stopped; and

(2) The sum of consideration of the portion whose recognition has been stopped

and the portion of the accumulative amount of the changes in the fair valueoriginally recorded in the owner's equities which is corresponding to the portionwhose recognition has been stopped (in the event that the financial asset involvedin the transfer is a financial asset Available-for-sale).

If the transfer of financial assets does not satisfy the conditions to stop therecognition, it shall continue to be recognized as financial assets and theconsideration received shall be recognized as financial liabilities.

4. Termination of recognition of financial liabilities

Only when the prevailing obligations of a financial liability are relieved in all or inpart may the recognition of the financial liability be terminated in all or partly.Where the Company (the debtor) enters into an agreement with a creditor so as tosubstitute the existing financial liabilities by way of any new financial liability, and ifthe contractual stipulations regarding the new financial liability are substantiallydifferent from that regarding the existing financial liability, it shall terminate therecognition of the existing financial liability, and shall at the same time recognizethe new financial liability.

Notes of Financial Report Page 17

Where the Company makes substantial revisions to part or all of the contractualstipulations of the existing financial liability, it shall terminate the recognition of theexisting financial liability or part of it, and at the same time recognize the financialliability after revising the contractual stipulations as a new financial liability.

Where the recognition of a financial liability is totally or partially terminated, theCompany shall include in the profits and losses of the current period the differencebetween the carrying amount which has been terminated from recognition and theconsiderations it has paid (including the non-cash assets it has transferred out andthe new financial liabilities it has assumed).

Where the Company buys back part of its financial liabilities, it shall distribute, onthe date of repurchase, the carrying amount of the whole financial liabilities in lightof the comparatively fair value of the part that continues to be recognized and thepart whose recognition has already been terminated. The gap between the carryingamount which is distributed to the part whose recognition has terminated and theconsiderations it has paid (including the noncash assets it has transferred out andthe new financial liabilities it has assumed) shall be recorded into the profits andlosses of the current period.

5. Determination of the fair value of the financial assets (liabilities)

If active markets for the financial instruments exist, the fair value shall be measuredby quoted prices in the active markets. If active markets for the financialinstruments do not exist, valuation techniques shall be applied for themeasurement. The Company uses valuation techniques appropriate to thecircumstances and for which sufficient data are available to measure fair value. TheCompany chooses relevant observable inputs for identical or similar assets orliabilities. Only when relevant observable inputs are unavailable or should theCompany use unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.

6. Impairment provision of the financial assets

The Company recognized the expected credit loss on financial assets measured atamortized cost, financial assets measured at fair value through othercomprehensive income (debt instruments), financial guarantee contract, and so on,

Notes of Financial Report Page 18

on an individual or portfolio basis.

The Company considers all reasonable and relevant information, including pastevents, current conditions, and forecasts of future economic conditions, and usesthe risk of default as the weight to calculate the probability-weighted amount ofpresent value of the difference between the cash flow receivable from the contractand the cash flow expected to be received to confirm the expected credit loss.

For account receivables and contract assets recognized according to AccountingStandards for Business Enterprises No. 14 Revenue (2017), whether a significantfinancing component is contained or not, the Company shall always measure theloss allowance at an amount equal to lifetime expected credit losses.

For lease receivables arising from transactions regulated by Accounting Standardsfor Business Enterprises No.21-Leases, the Company chooses to measure its lossprovision at all times at an amount equivalent to the expected credit loss during thewhole life.

For other financial instruments, the Company assesses the changes in the credit riskof the relevant financial instruments since their initial recognition on each balancesheet date.

The Company compares the risk of default on the balance sheet date of financialinstruments with the risk of default on the date of initial recognition to determinethe relative change in the risk of default during the expected life of the financialinstrument to assess whether there is a significant increase in the credit risk offinancial assets since the initial recognition. Generally, the Company believes thatthe credit risk of the financial instrument has significantly increased over 30 daysafter the due date unless there is solid evidence that the credit risk of the financialinstrument has not increased significantly since initial recognition.

If the credit risk of a financial instrument at the reporting date is relatively low, theCompany considers that the credit risk of the financial instrument has not increasedsignificantly since the initial recognition.

Notes of Financial Report Page 19

If the credit risk of the financial instrument has increased significantly since its initialrecognition, the Company shall measure its loss reserve according to the amountequivalent to the expected credit loss of the financial instrument during its entirelife; If the credit risk of the financial instrument has not increased significantly sinceits initial recognition, the Company shall measure its loss reserve at an amountequivalent to the expected credit loss of the financial instrument in the next 12months. The resulting increase or reversal of loss reserves shall be recorded incurrent profits and losses as impairment losses or gains. For financial assets (debtinstruments) measured at fair value and whose changes are included in othercomprehensive income, their loss reserves are recognized in other comprehensiveincome, and impairment losses or gains are included in current profits and losseswithout reducing the book value of the financial assets listed in the balance sheet.

(XI) Inventory

1. Inventory classification

Inventories include materials in transit, raw material, turnover materials, finishedgoods, work in process, issuing commodities, materials for consigned processing,etc.

Inventory is initially measured at cost. Inventory cost includes purchase cost,processing cost and other expenditures incurred to bring inventory to its currentlocation and state.

2. Valuation method for inventory dispatched

The weighted average method is used to confirm the actual cost of the inventoriesdispatched.

3. Inventory system

Adopt a perpetual inventory system.

4. Amortization method of low-value consumables and packaging materials

Notes of Financial Report Page 20

(1) Adopt one-time resale method when dealing with low-value consumables

(2) Adopt the method of one-time resale when dealing with the packaging

5. Confirmation standards and accrual method of provision for inventory

impairment loss

On the balance sheet date, inventories shall be measured at the lower of cost andnet realizable value. When the cost of inventories is higher than its net realizablevalue, provision for inventory impairment loss shall be made. The net realizablevalue refers to the amount of the estimated selling price of the inventory minus theestimated costs that will occur at the time of completion, estimated sellingexpenses, and relevant taxes in daily activities.

The net realizable value of inventories (finished products, stock commodity,material, etc.) held for direct selling in the daily business activity shall be calculatedby deducting the estimated sale expense and relevant taxes from the estimated saleprice of inventories; The net realizable value of inventories for further processing inthe daily business activity shall be calculated by deducting the estimated cost ofcompletion, estimated sale expense and relevant taxes from the estimated saleprice of inventories; The net realizable value of inventories held for the executionof sales contracts or labor contracts shall be calculated on the ground of thecontract price. If the Company holds more inventories than the quantitiessubscribed in the sales contract, the net realizable value of the excessive part of theinventories shall be calculated on the ground of the general sales price.

After the inventory impairment is withdrawn, if the factors that previously affectedthe write-down of the inventory value have disappeared, causing the net realizablevalue of the inventory to be higher than its book value, it shall be reversed withinthe amount of the inventory impairment that has been withdrawn, and the revertedamount shall be included in the current profit and loss.

(XII) Contract asset

1. Confirmation method and standard for contract asset

When either party to a contract has performed, the Company shall present the

Notes of Financial Report Page 21

contract in the statement of financial position as a contract asset or a contractliability, depending on the relationship between the Company’ s performance andthe customer’ s payment. If the Company have the right to receive consideration(the right is conditioned on factors other than the passage of time) by transferringgoods or services to a customer, the entity shall present the contract as a contractasset. Contract assets and contract liabilities under the same contract are disclosedin net amounts. An entity shall present any unconditional rights to consideration(only the passage of time is required) separately as a receivable.

2. Confirmation method and accounting treatment method of expected credit loss

of contract assets

For the confirmation method and accounting treatment method of expected creditloss of contract assets, please refer to "(X) 6. Test method and accounting treatmentmethod of impairment of financial instruments" in this note.(XIII) Long-term equity investment

1. Criteria of joint control and significant influence

Joint control is the contractually agreed sharing of control of an arrangement, whichexists only when decisions about the relevant activities require the unanimousconsent of the parties sharing control. If the Company and other joint ventures havejoint control of the investee and have rights to the net assets of the investee, theinvestee is a joint venture of the Company.

Significant influence is the power to participate in the financial and operating policydecisions of the investee but not control or joint control of those policies. If theCompany could exert significant influence over the investee, the investee is theassociate of the Company.

2. The initial cost of long-term equity investment from business acquisition

(1) Long-term equity investment from business acquisition

For a business combination under common control, if the consideration of thecombination is satisfied by paying cash, transfer of non-cash assets or assumptionof liabilities and the issue of equity securities, the initial investment cost of the long-

Notes of Financial Report Page 22

term equity investment shall be the absorbing party’s share of the carrying amountof the owner’s equity of the party being absorbed in the consolidated financialstatements of the ultimate controlling party at combination date. When an investorbecomes capable of exercising control over an investee under common control dueto additional investment or other reasons, the initial investment cost shall be theabsorbing party’s share of the carrying amount of the owner’s equity of the partybeing absorbed in the consolidated financial statements of the ultimate controllingparty at combination date. The difference between the initial investment cost andthe carrying amount of the previously held equity investment, together with theadditional investment cost for new shares at the combination date, shall beadjusted to the capital reserve. If the balance of capital reserve is not sufficient, anyexcess shall be adjusted to retained earnings.

For a business combination not under common control, the initial investment costof the long-term equity investment shall be the acquisition cost at the acquisitiondate. When an investor becomes capable of exercising control over an investee dueto additional investment or other reasons, the initial investment cost under the costmethod shall be the carrying amount of previously-held equity investment togetherwith the additional investment cost.

(2) The initial cost of the long-term equity investment other than from businessacquisition

The initial cost of a long-term equity investment obtained by making payment incash shall be the purchase cost which is actually paid.

The initial cost of a long-term equity investment obtained by making payment incash shall be the purchase cost which is actually paid.

3. Subsequent measurement and profit or loss recognition

(1) Cost method for the long-term investment

The Company adopts the cost method for the long-term investment in a subsidiarycompany. Under the cost method, an investing enterprise shall, in accordance with

Notes of Financial Report Page 23

the attributable share of the net profits or losses of the invested entity, recognizethe investment profits or losses except the dividend declared but unpaid, which isincluded in the payment when acquiring the investment.

(2) Equity method for the long-term investment

A long-term equity investment in an associate or a joint venture shall be accountedfor using the equity method. Where the initial investment cost of a long-term equityinvestment exceeds investor’ s interest in the fair values of an investee’ s identifiablenet assets at the acquisition date, no adjustment shall be made to the initialinvestment cost. Where the initial cost is less than the investor’ s interest in the fairvalues of the investee’ s identifiable net assets at the acquisition date, thedifference shall be credited to profit or loss for the current period, and the cost oflong-term equity investment shall be adjusted accordingly.

The Company shall recognize its share of the investee’s net profits or losses, as wellas its share of the investee’s other comprehensive income, as investment income orlosses and other comprehensive income, and adjust the carrying amount of theinvestment accordingly. The carrying amount of the investment shall be reduced bythe portion of any profit distributions or cash dividends declared by the investeethat is attributable to the investor. The investor’s share of the investee’s owners’equity changes, other than those arising from the investee’s net profit or loss, othercomprehensive income or profit distribution (for short, other owners’ equitychanges ), and the carrying amount of the long-term equity investment shall beadjusted accordingly.

The investor shall recognize its share of the investee’s net profits or losses aftermaking appropriate adjustments according to the Company’s accounting principlesand operating period based on the fair values of the investee’s identifiable netassets at the acquisition date. During the holding period, if the investee makesconsolidated financial statements, the Company shall calculate its share based onthe investee’s net profit, other comprehensive income and the amount of otherowners’ equity attributed to the investee in the consolidated financial statements.

Notes of Financial Report Page 24

The unrealized profits or losses resulting from transactions between the investorand its associate or joint venture shall be eliminated in proportion to the investor’sequity interest in the investee, based on which investment income or losses shallbe recognized, except the transaction of investment or sale of assets is a business.Any losses resulting from transactions between the investor and investee which areattributable to asset impairment shall be recognized in full.

The Company’s net losses incurred by joint ventures or associates, in addition toassuming additional loss obligations, are limited to the book value of long-termequity investments and other long-term equity that essentially constitutes a netinvestment in joint ventures or associates. If a joint venture or associated enterpriserealizes net profits in the future, the Company resumes recognizing its share ofprofits after the share of profits makes up for the share of unrecognized losses.

(3) Disposal of long-term equity investment

When disposing of long-term equity investment, the difference between theproceeds actually received and the carrying amount shall be recognized in profit orloss for the current period.

Partial disposal of long-term equity investments accounted for by the equitymethod, and the remaining equity is still accounted for by the equity method, theother comprehensive income recognized by the original equity method shall becarried forward according to the same basis as the direct disposal of related assetsor liabilities by the investee. All other changes in the interests of the holders arecarried forward to the current profit and loss on a pro-rata basis.

When an investor can no longer exercise joint control of or significant influence overan investee due to partial disposal of an equity investment or other reasons, anyother comprehensive income previously recognized shall be accounted for on thesame basis as would have been required if the investee had directly disposed of therelated assets or liabilities for the current period upon discontinuation of the equitymethod. Other owner's equity change shall be transferred into profit or loss of thecurrent period in full when the Company cease to adopt the equity method.

Notes of Financial Report Page 25

When an investor can no longer control the investee due to partial disposal, whenthe individual financial statements are prepared, the remaining equity can exercisejoint control or significant influence on the investee, and the equity method shallbe used to account for the remaining equity. It is deemed that the equity method isadopted for adjustment since the acquisition, and the other comprehensive incomerecognized before the control of the investee is obtained is carried forward on thesame basis as the direct disposal of related assets or liabilities by the investee,because the equity method is used for accounting. The confirmed changes in otherowners’ equity are carried forward to the current profit and loss on a pro-rata basis.If the remaining equity cannot exercise joint control or exert significant influence onthe investee, it shall be recognized as a financial asset, and the difference betweenits fair value and book value on the date when control is lost shall be included in thecurrent profit and loss, and other comprehensive income and other owner’sinterests previously recognized shall be transferred to profit or loss in full.

If the equity investment of a subsidiary is disposed of through multiple transactionsuntil it loses control, which is a package transaction, each transaction shall beaccounted as a transaction that disposes of the equity investment of the subsidiaryand loses control. For each transaction before the loss of control, the differencebetween the disposal price and the book value of the corresponding disposed partof long-term equity investment is first recognized as other comprehensive incomein individual financial statements and then transferred to the current profit and losswhen the control is lost. If it is not a package transaction, each transaction shall beaccounted for separately.

(XIV) Fixed assets

1. Recognition and Initial Measurement of Fixed Assets

The term "fixed assets" refers to the tangible assets held for the sake of producingcommodities, rendering labor service, renting or business management and ofwhich useful life is in excess of one fiscal year. No fixed asset may be recognizedunless it simultaneously meets the conditions as follows:

(1) The economic benefits pertinent to the fixed asset are likely to flow into theenterprise; and

Notes of Financial Report Page 26

(2) The cost of the fixed asset can be measured reliably.

Fixed assets are initially measured at cost (and considering the impact of expecteddismantling cost factors).

Subsequent expenditures related to fixed assets are included in the cost of fixedassets when the related economic benefits are likely to flow in and their costs canbe reliably measured; the book value of the replaced part is derecognized; all othersubsequent expenditures are incurred shall be included in the current profit andloss.

2. Depreciation Method

Fixed assets are depreciated under the straight-line method. The depreciation rateis determined according to the category of assets, the useful life and the expectedresidual rate. If the components of the fixed assets have different useful lives orprovide economic benefits in a different way, then different depreciation rate ormethods shall be applied and the depreciation of the components shall becalculated separately.

Details of classification, residual value rate and annual depreciation rate are asfollows:

CategoryDepreciation methodDepreciation life (year)Residual value rate (%)Residual value rate (%)
Plants and BuildingsYear average method405.002.38
MachineryYear average method17-245.003.96-5.59
Transportation and other equipmentYear average method5-125.007.92-19.00

3. Disposal of fixed assets

When a fixed asset is disposed of, or it is expected that no economic benefits will

Notes of Financial Report Page 27

be generated through use or disposal, the recognition of the fixed asset shall bedetermined. The amount of disposable income of fixed assets raised from sale,transfer, scrapping or damage shall be included in the current profit and loss afterdeducting its book value and related taxes.

(XV) Construction in progress

Construction in progress is measured at the actual cost incurred. The actual cost includesconstruction costs, installation costs, borrowing costs that meet the capitalizationconditions, and other necessary expenditures incurred before the construction in progressreaches its intended use status.

Construction in progress is transferred to fixed asset when it has reached its workingcondition for its intended use and depreciation will be accrued from the next month.

(XVI) Borrowing costs

1. Principle of the recognition of capitalized borrowing costs

Where the borrowing costs incurred by an enterprise can be directly attributable tothe acquisition and construction or production of assets eligible for capitalization,it shall be capitalized and recorded into the costs of relevant assets. Otherborrowing costs shall be recognized as expenses on the basis of the actual amountincurred and shall be recorded into the current profits and losses.

Assets eligible for capitalization refer to the fixed assets, investment property,inventories and other assets, of which the acquisition and construction orproduction may take quite a long time to get ready for their intended use or for sale.

2. The capitalization period of borrowing costs

The capitalization period shall refer to the period from the commencement to thecessation of capitalization of the borrowing costs, excluding the period ofsuspension of capitalization of the borrowing costs.

Notes of Financial Report Page 28

The borrowing costs shall not be capitalized unless they simultaneously meet thefollowing requirements:

(1) The asset disbursements have already been incurred, which shall include cash,transferred noncash assets or interest-bearing debts paid for the acquisition andconstruction or production activities for preparing assets eligible for capitalization;

(2) The borrowing costs have already been incurred; and

(3) The acquisition and construction or production activities which are necessary toprepare the asset for its intended use or sale have already started.

When the qualified asset under acquisition and construction or production is readyfor the intended use or sale, the capitalization of the borrowing costs shall beceased.

3. The suspension of capitalization of borrowing costs

Where the acquisition and construction or production of a qualified asset areinterrupted abnormally and the interruption period lasts for more than 3 months,the capitalization of the borrowing costs shall be suspended. If the interruption is anecessary step for making the qualified asset under acquisition and construction orproduction ready for the intended use or sale, the capitalization of the borrowingcosts shall continue. The borrowing costs incurred during such period shall berecognized as expenses and shall be recorded into the profits and losses of thecurrent period, till the acquisition and construction or production of the assetrestarts.

4. Method of calculating the capitalization rate and capitalized amount of borrowing

costs

For interest expense (minus the income of interests earned on the unusedborrowing loans as a deposit in the bank or investment income earned on the loanas a temporary investment) and the ancillary expense incurred to a specificallyborrowed loan, those incurred before a qualified asset under acquisition,construction or production is ready for the intended use or sale shall be capitalized

Notes of Financial Report Page 29

at the incurred amount when they are incurred, and shall be recorded into the costsof the asset eligible for capitalization.

The Company shall calculate and determine the to-be-capitalized number ofinterests on the general borrowing by multiplying the weighted average assetdisbursement of the part of the accumulative asset disbursements minus thegeneral borrowing by the capitalization rate of the general borrowing used. Thecapitalization rate shall be calculated and determined in light of the weightedaverage interest rate of the general borrowing.

(XVII) Intangible assets

1. Measurement of intangible assets

(1) Initial measurement is based on cost upon acquisition

The cost of an intangible asset on acquisition includes the purchase price, relevanttaxes and other necessary disbursements which may be directly attributable tobringing the intangible asset to the conditions for the expected purpose.

(2) Subsequent measurement

The Company shall analyze and judge the beneficial period of intangible assets uponacquisition.

Intangible assets with finite beneficial periods shall be amortized under the straight-line method; during the period when the intangible asset can bring economicbenefits to the enterprise. If it is unable to estimate the beneficial period of theintangible asset, it shall be regarded as an intangible asset with uncertain servicelife and shall not be amortized.

2. Estimated useful lives of intangible assets with limited useful lives:

ItemEstimated useful lifeCriteria of estimated useful life
Land use right50 yearsLand use right certificate

3. Classification criteria for the internal research phase and development phase:

Notes of Financial Report Page 30

The expenditures for the internal research and development projects of anenterprise shall be classified into research expenditures and developmentexpenditures.

Research phase refers to the phase of creative and planned investigation to acquireand study to acquire and understand new scientific or technological knowledge.

Development phase refers to the phase during which the result of the researchphase or other knowledge is applied to certain projects or designs for themanufacturing of new or substantially improved materials, devices and productsbefore commercial manufacturing and use.

4. Specific conditions for capitalization of development phase expenditures:

Research expenditures are recognized in profit or loss as incurred. Expenditures inthe development phase are recognized as intangible assets if the followingconditions are met, and expenditures in the development phase that do not meetthe following conditions are recognized in profit or loss:

(1) It is technically feasible to complete the intangible asset so that it can be usedor sold;

(2) There is an intent to complete the intangible asset and use or sell it;

(3) The manner in which an intangible asset generates economic benefits, includingbeing able to demonstrate that there is a market for the product produced from theintangible asset or that there is a market for the intangible asset itself and that theintangible asset will be used internally, should prove its usefulness;

(4) There are sufficient technical, financial and other resources to support thecompletion of the development of the intangible asset and is capable of using orselling the intangible asset;

(5) The expenditure attributable to the development phase of the intangible assetcan be measured reliably.

If it is not possible to distinguish between research phase expenditures anddevelopment phase expenditures, all research and development expendituresincurred are charged to current profit or loss.

Notes of Financial Report Page 31

(XVIII) Impairment of long-term assets

Long-term equity investments, fixed assets, construction in progress, right-of-use assets,intangible assets with limited useful lives and other long-term assets shall be tested forimpairment if there is an indication of impairment at the balance sheet date. If the resultof the impairment test indicates that the recoverable amount of an asset is less than itsbook value, the difference shall be recognized as a provision for impairment and includedin impairment loss. The recoverable amount is the higher of the fair value of assets, lesscosts of disposal, and the present value of estimated future cash flows from the assets.The provision for impairment of assets shall be calculated and recognized on an individualbasis, and if it is difficult to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, theCompany shall recognize the recoverable amount of asset group to which the assetbelongs. The term “assets group” refers to a minimum combination of assets by which thecash flows could be generated independently

Goodwill arising from business combinations, intangible assets with an indefinite usefullife, and intangible assets that have not yet reached their intended useable state shall betested for impairment at least at the end of each year, regardless of whether there is anindication of impairment.

In performing an impairment test on goodwill, the Company shall apportion the bookvalue of goodwill arising from business combinations to the relevant asset group from thedate of purchase in accordance with a reasonable method; for those that it is difficult tobe apportioned to the relevant asset group, they shall be apportioned to the relevantportfolio of asset group. The relevant asset group or combination of asset groups are thosethat can benefit from the synergistic effects of the business combination.

In performing an impairment test on the relevant asset group or portfolio of asset groupthat contains goodwill, the Company shall conduct the impairment test first on the assetgroup or portfolio of asset group that does not contain goodwill if there is an indication ofimpairment on the asset group or portfolio of asset group relating to goodwill, andcalculate its recoverable amount as well as compare it with the relevant book value torecognize the corresponding impairment loss. Then the impairment test shall beperformed for the asset group or portfolio of asset group that contains goodwill,

Notes of Financial Report Page 32

comparing its book value and its recoverable amount. If the recoverable amount is lessthan the book value, the amount of impairment loss shall be offset and apportioned to thebook value of goodwill contained in the asset group or portfolio of asset group, and thenoffset the book value of other assets in proportion to the proportion of book value ofassets other than goodwill in the asset group or portfolio of asset group.

The impairment losses on assets mentioned above, once recognized, shall not be reversedin subsequent accounting periods.

(XIX) Long-term deferred expense

The long-term deferred expense refers to the expenses incurred but shall be borne by thecurrent and subsequent accounting period, which is more than one year.

The long-term deferred expense shall be amortized over its beneficiary period evenly.

(XX) Contract liabilities

The Company shall present contract assets or contract liabilities in the statement offinancial position in accordance with the relationship between the performance of anobligation and the payment of customers. The obligation of the Company to transfer goodsor provide services to customers for consideration received or receivable from customersshall be presented as contract liabilities. Contract assets and contract liabilities under thesame contract shall be shown on a net basis.

(XXI) Employee benefits

1. Accounting treatment for short-term employee benefits

The Company shall recognize the short-term benefits actually incurred as theliabilities, and recognize such liabilities into the current profit and loss or the costsof the related assets in the accounting period to which the employees render theservices.

Payments made by the Company of social security contributions for employees,payments of housing provident funds, union funds and employee education costsprovided in accordance with relevant requirements shall, in the accounting periodin which employees provide services, be calculated according to prescribed bases

Notes of Financial Report Page 33

and percentages in determining the amount of employee benefits.

The employee welfare expenses incurred by the Company are included in thecurrent profit and loss or related asset costs based on the actual amount when theyactually occur. Among them, non-monetary benefits are measured at fair value.

2. Accounting treatment for post-employment benefits

(1) Defined contribution plan

The Company shall recognize, in the accounting period in which an employeeprovides service, pension fund and unemployment fund for employees as liabilitiesaccording to the local government regulations. The amount shall be calculatedaccording to local prescribed bases and percentages in determining the amount ofemployee benefits, with a corresponding charge to the profit or loss or cost of anasset for the current period.

The Company contributes to the basic pension insurance and unemploymentinsurance for its employees in accordance with the relevant local governmentregulations. The amount payable is calculated on the basis of the contribution baseand at the rate prescribed by the local regulations and is recognized as a liability andcharged to current profit and loss or the cost of related assets in the accountingperiod in which the employees provide services to the Company. In addition, theCompany participates in an enterprise annuity plan/supplemental pension fundapproved by the relevant state authorities. The Company contributes a certainpercentage of the employees' gross salaries to the annuity plans/local socialinsurance institutions and the corresponding expenses are charged to current profitand loss or to the cost of related assets.

(2) Defined benefit plan

None.

3. Accounting treatment for termination benefits

The Company shall recognize employee benefits liabilities for termination benefits,with a corresponding charge to the current profit and loss, at the earlier of thefollowing dates: when the Company cannot unilaterally withdraw the offer oftermination benefits because of an employment termination plan or a curtailmentproposal; or when the Company recognizes costs or expenses related to a

Notes of Financial Report Page 34

restructuring that involves the payment of termination benefits.

(XXII) Estimated liabilities

The obligation pertinent to a contingency shall be recognized as an estimated liabilitywhen the following conditions are satisfied simultaneously:

(1) That obligation is a current obligation of the Company;

(2) It is likely to cause any economic benefit to flow out of the Company as a result of theperformance of the obligation; and

(3) The amount of the obligation can be measured in a reliable way.

The estimated liabilities shall be initially measured in accordance with the best estimateof the necessary expenses for the performance of the current obligation.

To determine the best estimate, the Company shall take into full consideration of the risks,uncertainty, time value of money, and other factors pertinent to the contingencies. If thetime value of money is of great significance, the best estimate shall be determined afterdiscounting the relevant future outflow of cash.

If there is a continuous range of expenses required and the likelihood of various outcomeswithin that range is equal, the best estimate is determined by the mid-point of the range;in other cases, the best estimate is treated separately as follows:

? If a contingency relates to a single item, it shall be determined in the light of the mostlikely outcome.? If the contingencies relate to more than one item, the best estimate shall be calculatedand determined in accordance with all possible outcomes and the relevant probabilities.

When all or some of the expenses necessary for the liquidation of an estimated liabilitiesof an enterprise is expected to be compensated by a third party, the compensation shallbe separately recognized as an asset only when it is virtually certain that thereimbursement will be obtained. The amount recognized for the reimbursement shall notexceed the book value of the estimated liabilities.

The Company reviews the book value of the estimated liabilities on the balance sheet date.If there is conclusive evidence that the book value does not reflect the current best

Notes of Financial Report Page 35

estimate, the book value will be adjusted according to the current best estimate.

(XXIII) Revenue

1. Accounting policies used for revenue recognition and measurement

The Company shall recognize revenue when (or as) the Company satisfies aperformance obligation when (or as) the customer obtains control of a promisedgood or service. Control of a promised good or service refers to the ability to directthe use of, and obtain substantially all of the remaining benefits from it.

If the contract contains two or more performance obligations, the Company shallallocate the transaction price to each individual performance obligation based onthe relative proportion of the stand-alone selling price of the goods or servicespromised by each individual performance obligation on the date of the contract.The Company measures revenue based on the transaction price allocated to eachindividual performance obligation.

The transaction price is the amount of consideration to which the Company expectsto be entitled in exchange for transferring promised goods or services to customers,excluding amounts collected on behalf of the third parties or amounts expected tobe returned to customers. The Company shall consider the terms of the contractand its customary business practices to determine the transaction price. Whendetermining the transaction price, the Company shall consider the effects of all ofthe following: variable consideration, the existence of a significant financingcomponent in the contract, non-cash consideration, and consideration payable tocustomers. The Company determines the transaction price that includes variableconsideration at an amount that does not exceed the amount of accumulatedrecognized revenue that is unlikely to be materially reversed when the relevantuncertainty is eliminated. If there is a significant financing component in thecontract, the Company shall recognize revenue at an amount that reflects the pricethat a customer would have paid for the promised goods or services if the customerhad paid cash for those goods or services when (or as) they transfer to the customer,and use the effective interest method to amortize the difference between thetransaction price and the contract consideration during the contract period. Whenone of the following conditions is met, the Company is deemed to have undertaken

Notes of Financial Report Page 36

the performance obligation within a certain time; otherwise, it will be deemed asundertaking the performance obligation at a certain point in time:

? The customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits provided bythe Company’s performance as the Company performs;? The customer has control over the goods in progress during the Company'sperformance.? The goods produced in the course of the Company's performance are ofirreplaceable use and the Company is entitled to receive payment for the portion ofthe performance that has been completed cumulatively to date during the entireterm of the contract.

The Company shall recognize revenue over time by measuring the progress towardscomplete satisfaction of that performance obligation, except where theperformance progress cannot be reasonably determined. The Company considersthe nature of the goods or services and adopts the output method or the inputmethod to determine the progress of performance. Where the performanceprogress cannot be reasonably determined, but the Company expects to recoverthe costs incurred in satisfying the performance obligation, the Company shallrecognize revenue only to the extent of the costs incurred until such time that it canreasonably measure the outcome of the performance obligation.

For performance obligations satisfied at a certain point in time, the Company shallrecognize revenue at the point when the customer obtains control of the relevantgoods or services. To determine the point in time at which a customer obtainscontrol of promised goods or services, the Company shall consider requirements asfollows:

? The Company has a present right to payment for the promised goods or servicesand the customer is presently obliged to pay for that;? The Company has transferred the legal ownership of the goods to the customer,that is, the customer has the legal ownership to the goods;? The Company has transferred physical possession of the goods to the customer,that is, the customer has taken possession of the goods;? The Company has transferred the main risks and rewards of ownership of thegoods to the customer, that is, the customer has the main risks and rewards of

Notes of Financial Report Page 37

ownership of the goods;? The customer has accepted the promised goods or services.

The Company determines whether it is the principal responsible person or agent atthe time of the transaction according to whether it has control over the goods orservices before transferring them to customers. If the Company can control thegoods or services before transferring them to customers, the Company is the mainresponsible person and recognizes the income according to the total considerationreceived or receivable; Otherwise, the Company, acting as an agent, shall recognizerevenue at the amount of commission or handling fee it is expected to be entitledto receive.

2. Disclosure of specific revenue recognition methods and measurement methods

according to business typesCommodity sales contracts between companies and customers usually only containperformance obligations to transfer goods or services such as steel. Suchperformance obligations belong to performance obligations performed at a certainpoint in time, and the Company recognizes revenue at the point when customersobtain control over related goods or services. When judging whether customershave acquired control over goods or services, the company considers the followingindications:

The Company obtains the right to collect money at present, the legal ownership ofthe commodity is transferred to the customer, the physical assets of the commodityare transferred to the customer, the Company transfers the main risks and rewardsof the ownership of the commodity to the customer, and the customer has acceptedthe commodity.

(XXIV) Contract costs

Contract costs include costs to fulfill a contract and incremental costs of obtaining acontract.

If the costs incurred in fulfilling a contract with a customer are not within the scope ofanother Standard, for example, Inventories, Property, Plant and Equipment or IntangibleAssets, the Company shall recognize an asset from the costs incurred to fulfil a contract

Notes of Financial Report Page 38

only if those costs meet all of the following criteria:

? the costs relate directly to a contract or to an expected contract;? the costs generate or enhance resources of the Company that will be used in satisfyingperformance obligations in the future; and? the costs are expected to be recovered.

The Company shall recognize as an asset the incremental costs of obtaining a contract witha customer if the Company expects to recover those costs.

An asset recognized in accordance with contract costs shall be amortized in consistencewith the transfer to the customer of the goods or services to which the asset relates. TheCompany may recognize the incremental costs of obtaining a contract as an expense whenincurred if the amortization period of the asset is one year or less.

The Company shall recognize an impairment loss in profit or loss to the extent that thecarrying amount of an asset related to contract assets exceeds:

1. the remaining amount of consideration that the Company expects to receive inexchange for the goods or services to which the asset relates; less

2. the costs that relate directly to providing those goods or services and that have not beenrecognized as expenses.

The Company shall recognize in profit or loss a reversal of some or all of an impairmentloss previously recognized when the impairment conditions no longer exist or haveimproved. The increased carrying amount of the asset shall not exceed the carryingamount if no impairment loss had been recognized previously.

(XXV) Government grants

1. Types

Government grants mean the monetary or non-monetary assets obtained free ofcharge by the Company from the government. Government grants consist ofgovernment subsidies pertinent to assets and government subsidies pertinent toincome.

Government grants related to assets are government grants acquired by the

Notes of Financial Report Page 39

Company for the acquisition or other formation of long-term assets. Governmentgrants related to income are government grants other than those related to assets.

The specific criteria for the Company to classify government grants as asset-relatedare: government grants acquired by the enterprise and used to acquire or otherwiseform long-term assets.

The criteria of the Company recognizing the government grants related to incomeis: In addition to government grants related to assets, government grants that havebeen clearly targeted for subsidies.

For government documents that do not specify the object of the grant, theCompany classifies the government grant as asset-related or income-related basedon the following judgment: if it can form a long-term asset, the portion of thegovernment grant that corresponds to the value of the asset is treated as an asset-related government grant and the rest as an income-related government grant; if itis difficult to distinguish, the government grant as a whole is treated as an income-related government grant.

2. Time point of recognition

Government grants related to assets are recognized when the Company can fulfillthe premises attached to it and the grants are actually received.

3. Accounting treatment

Government grants related to assets shall be used to offset the book value of therelated assets or recognized as deferred income. The government grants recognizedas deferred income shall be charged to current profit and loss (if they relate toordinary activities, to other income; if do not, to non-operating income) inaccordance with a reasonable and systematic method over the useful life of therelated assets;

Government grants related to income that is used to compensate for the relatedcosts and expenses or losses in subsequent periods shall be recognized as deferredincome and charged to current profit and loss (if they relate to ordinary activities,to other income; if do not, to non-operating income) in the period in which the

Notes of Financial Report Page 40

related costs and expense or losses are recognized, or offset the related costs andexpenses or losses; for those used to compensate for the related costs and expensesor losses that have been incurred, they shall be directly included in current profitand loss (if they relate to ordinary activities, to other income; if do not, to non-operating income) or offset the related costs and expenses or losses.

The policy discount loans obtained by the Company are divided into the followingtwo situations and are separately accounted for:

(1) If the government allocates discounted funds to the loan bank and the loan bank

provides loans to the Company at a policy preferential interest rate, the Companywill take the actual amount of the loan received as the entry value of the loan andcalculate the relevant borrowing costs based on the loan principal and the policypreferential interest rate.

(2) If the government directly allocates the discounted funds to the Company, theCompany will write-down the relevant borrowing costs with the correspondingdiscounts.

(XXVI) Deferred income tax assets/deferred income tax liabilities

Income tax includes current income tax and deferred income tax. Except for income taxarising from business combinations and transactions or events that are directly includedin owner's equity (including other comprehensive income), the Company will includecurrent income tax and deferred income tax in current profit and loss.

Deferred income tax assets and deferred income tax liabilities are calculated andconfirmed based on the difference (temporary difference) between the tax base of assetsand liabilities and their book values.

An enterprise shall recognize the deferred income tax assets arising from a deductibletemporary difference to the extent of the amount of the taxable income which it is mostlikely to be obtained and which can be deducted from the deductible temporary difference.As for any deductible loss or tax deduction that can be carried forward to the next year,the corresponding deferred income tax assets shall be determined to the extent that the

Notes of Financial Report Page 41

amount of future taxable income to be offset by the deductible loss or tax deduction to belikely obtained.

Deferred income tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences, except inexceptional circumstances.

Special circumstances in which deferred income tax assets or deferred income taxliabilities are not recognized include:

? The initial recognition of goodwill.? Transactions or events that are neither business combinations nor, when they occur,affect accounting profit and taxable income (or deductible losses).

For taxable temporary differences related to investments in subsidiaries, associates andjoint ventures, deferred income tax liabilities are recognized, unless the Company cancontrol the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences and the temporarydifferences are likely not to be transferred back into the foreseeable future. For deductibletemporary differences related to investments in subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures,when the temporary differences are likely to be reversed in the foreseeable future and arelikely to be used to deduct the taxable income of deductible temporary differences in thefuture, income tax assets are recognized.

On the balance sheet date, deferred income tax assets and deferred income tax liabilitiesare measured at the applicable tax rate during the period when the relevant assets areexpected to be recovered or the relevant liabilities are expected to be recovered inaccordance with the provisions of the tax law.

On the balance sheet date, the Company reviews the book value of deferred income taxassets. If it is probable that sufficient taxable income cannot be obtained in the future tooffset the benefits of deferred income tax assets, the book value of the deferred incometax assets shall be written down. When it is possible to obtain sufficient taxable income,the reduced amount shall be reversed.

When the Company has the statutory right to settle on a net basis and intends to settle ona net basis or to obtain assets and pay off liabilities simultaneously, the current income tax

Notes of Financial Report Page 42

assets and current income tax liabilities are presented at the net amount after offsetting.

On the balance sheet date, deferred income tax assets and deferred income tax liabilitiesare stated at the net of offsetting amounts when the following conditions are also met:

? The taxable entity has the legal right to settle current income tax assets and currentincome tax liabilities on a net basis;?Deferred income tax assets and deferred income tax liabilities relate to income taxeslevied by the same taxation authority on the same taxable entity or on different taxableentities, but in each future period in which it is significant that the deferred income taxassets and liabilities reverse, the taxable entities involved intend to settle the currentincome tax assets and liabilities on a net basis or to acquire the assets and settle theliabilities simultaneously.

(XXVII) Leases

A lease is a contract whereby the lessor transfers the right of usage on an asset to thelessee for consideration within a certain period of time. On the contract commencementdate, the Company evaluates whether the contract is a lease or includes a lease. If oneparty in the contract transfers the right to control the use of one or more identified assetswithin a certain period in exchange for consideration, the contract is a lease or includes alease.

If the contract contains multiple separate leases at the same time, the Company will splitthe contract and conduct accounting treatment for each separate lease. If the contractincludes both lease and non-lease parts, the Company, as the lessor and lessee, will splitthe lease and non-lease parts for accounting treatment

1. The Company as a lessee

(1) Right-of-use assets

On the beginning date of the lease term, the Company recognizes the right-of-useassets for leases other than short-term leases and low-value asset leases. The right-of-use assets are initially measured at cost. This cost includes:

? Initial measurement amount of lease liabilities;? For the lease payment paid on or before the beginning of the lease term, if

there is lease incentive, the relevant amount of lease incentive enjoyed shall

Notes of Financial Report Page 43

be deducted;? The initial direct costs incurred by the Company;? Costs expected to be incurred by the Company to dismantle and remove the

leased asset, to restore the site on which the leased asset is located or to

restore the leased asset to its agreed condition under the terms of the lease,

but do not include costs that are part of the costs incurred to produce the

inventory.

The Company subsequently depreciates right-of-use assets using the straight-linemethod. If it is reasonably certain that ownership of the leased asset will beobtained at the end of the lease term, the Company depreciates the leased assetover its remaining useful life; otherwise, the leased asset is depreciated over theshorter of the lease term or the remaining useful life of the leased asset.

For the principles by which the Company determines whether the right-of-use assethas been impaired, please refer to Note “III. (XVIII) Impairment of long-term assets”.

(2) Lease liabilities

At the beginning of the lease term, the Company recognizes lease liabilities forleases other than short-term leases and leases of low-value assets. The leaseliability is initially measured at the present value of outstanding lease payments.Lease payments include:

? Fixed payments (including actual fixed payments), if there is a lease incentive,

deduct the relevant amount of the lease incentive;? Variable lease payments that depend on an index or ratio;? The expected payment according to the residual value of the guarantee

provided by the Company;

? The exercise price of the purchase option, provided that the Company is

reasonably certain that the option will be exercised;? Payments for exercising the option to terminate the lease, provided that the

lease term reflects that the Company will exercise the option to terminate

the lease.The Company uses the interest rate implicit in the lease as the discount rate, but ifthe interest rate implicit in the lease cannot be reasonably determined, the

Notes of Financial Report Page 44

Company's incremental borrowing rate is used as the discount rate.

The Company calculates the interest expense of the lease liability in each period ofthe lease term according to the fixed periodic interest rate and includes it in thecurrent profit and loss or the cost of related assets.

Variable lease payments that are not included in the measurement of leaseliabilities are included in the current profit and loss or the cost of related assetswhen they are actually incurred.

After the commencement date of the lease term, the Company shall re-measurethe lease liabilities and adjust the corresponding right-of-use assets under thefollowing circumstances. If the book value of the right-of-use assets has beenreduced to zero, but the lease liabilities still need to be further reduced, thedifference is included in the current profit and loss:

? When there is a change in the evaluation results of the purchase option, leaserenewal option or termination option, or when the actual exercise of theaforementioned options is inconsistent with the original evaluation result, theCompany shall calculate the lease payment amount after the change and therevised discounted value. Remeasure the lease liability at the present value ofthe rate calculation;? When the actual fixed payment changes, the estimated payable amount of theguaranteed residual value changes, or the index or ratio used to determine thelease payment changes, the Company re-measures the lease liability at thepresent value of the changed lease payments and the original discount rate.However, where changes in lease payments resulting from changes in floatinginterest rates, a revised discount rate is used to calculate the present value.

(3) Short-term leases and low-value asset leases

The Company chooses not to recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities forshort-term leases and low-value asset leases, and includes the relevant leasepayments in the current profit and loss or related asset costs on a straight-line basisover each period of the lease term. Short-term leases refer to leases with a leaseterm of not more than 12 months and excluding purchase options on the

Notes of Financial Report Page 45

commencement date of the lease term. A low-value asset lease refers to a leasewith a lower value when a single-leased asset is a brand-new asset. If the Companysubleases or expects to sublease the leased assets, the original lease is not a low-value asset lease.

(4) Lease changes

If the lease changes and the following conditions are met at the same time, theCompany will account for the lease change as a separate lease:

? The lease modification expands the scope of the lease by adding the right to

use one or more leased assets;? The increased consideration is equivalent to the amount adjusted by theindividual price of the expanded part of the lease scope according to thecontract.

If the lease modification is not accounted for as a separate lease, on the effectivedate of the lease modification, the Company re-allocates the consideration of themodified contract, re-determines the lease term, and re-calculates the lease liabilitybased on the present value of the modified lease payments and the revised discountrate.

If the lease modification leads to the narrowing of the lease scope or the shorteningof the lease term, the Company will reduce the book value of the right-of-use assetsaccordingly, and include the relevant gains or losses on partial or completetermination of the lease into the current profit and loss. If other lease changes resultin re-measurement of lease liabilities, the Company adjusts the book value of theright-of-use assets accordingly.

2. The Company as a lessor

On the lease commencement date, the Company classifies leases into financialleases and operating leases. A financial lease is a lease that essentially transfersalmost all the risks and rewards associated with the ownership of the leased asset,regardless of whether ownership is ultimately transferred. Operating leases refer toleases other than financial leases. When the Company acts as a sublease lessor, itclassifies the sublease based on the right-of-use asset arising from the original lease.

Notes of Financial Report Page 46

(1) Accounting treatment of operating leases

The Company recognizes lease receipts from operating leases as rental incomeusing the straight-line method for each period of the lease term. Initial direct costscapitalized in connection with operating leases are amortized over the lease termon the same basis as rental income is recognized and are recognized in current profitand loss. Variable lease payments not included in the amount of lease receipts arerecognized in current profit and loss when they are actually incurred. When thereis a change in operating leases, the Company accounts for it as a new lease from theeffective date of the change, and the amount of lease receipts received in advanceor receivable in relation to the lease prior to the change is treated as a receipt underthe new lease.

(2) Accounting treatment of financial lease

On the lease commencement date, the Company recognizes the financial leasereceivables for the financial lease and derecognizes the financial lease assets. Whenthe Company initially measures the financial lease receivables, the net investmentin the lease is regarded as the entry value of the financial lease receivables. The netlease investment is the sum of the unguaranteed residual value and the presentvalue of the lease receipts not yet received at the commencement date of the leaseterm, discounted at the interest rate implicit in the lease.

The Company calculates and recognizes interest income over the lease term at afixed periodic rate. Derecognition and impairment of finance lease receivables areaccounted for in accordance with Note “V. 10. Financial assets and financialliabilities".

Variable lease payments not included in the measurement of net investment inleases are charged to current profit and loss when actually incurred.

If the financial lease is changed and the following conditions are met at the sametime, the Company will account for the change as a separate lease:

? The change expands the scope of the lease by increasing the right to use oneor more of the leased assets;

Notes of Financial Report Page 47

? The increased consideration is equivalent to the amount adjusted by the

individual price of the expanded part of the lease scope according to thecontract.

If the modification of a financial lease is not accounted for as a separate lease, theCompany shall deal with the modified lease under the following circumstances:

? If the change had been effective on the inception date of the lease and thelease would have been classified as an operating lease, the Company shallaccount for it as a new lease from the effective date of the lease change anduse the net investment in the lease prior to the effective date as the book valueof the leased asset;? If the change had been effective at the inception date of the lease and thelease would have been classified as a finance lease, the Company shall accountfor it in accordance with the policy on modification or renegotiation ofcontracts as described in Note “III. (X) Financial tools”.

(XXVIII) Debt restructuring

1. The Company as creditor

The Company shall terminate the recognition of creditor's rights when thecontractual right to receive cash flow from creditor's rights terminates. If debtrestructuring is carried out by means of paying off debts with assets or convertingdebts into equity instruments, the Company shall recognize the relevant assetswhen they meet their definition and recognition conditions.

When debt restructuring is carried out by means of liquidating debts with assets,the Company shall measure the transferred non-financial assets at cost wheninitially recognizing them. The cost of inventory includes the fair value of the waiverof creditor's rights and other costs directly attributable to the asset, such as taxes,transportation fees, loading and unloading fees, insurance premiums, etc., whichare incurred to bring the asset to its current position and state. The cost of investingin an associate or joint venture includes the fair value of the waiver of claims andother costs such as taxes directly attributable to the asset. The cost of investmentreal estate includes the fair value of abandoned creditor's rights and other costssuch as taxes directly attributable to the asset. The cost of fixed assets includes the

Notes of Financial Report Page 48

fair value of waiving creditor's rights and other costs that can be directly attributedto the assets, such as taxes, transportation fees, loading and unloading fees,installation fees, professional service fees, etc. The cost of biological assets includesthe fair value of waived creditor's rights and other costs such as taxes,transportation fees and insurance premiums that can be directly attributed to theassets. The cost of intangible assets includes the fair value of the waiver of claimsand other costs that can be directly attributable to taxes and other costs incurred inmaking the assets achieve their intended purposes. If debt restructuring byconverting debt into equity instruments causes creditors to convert their creditor'srights into equity investment in joint ventures or joint ventures, the Company shallmeasure its initial investment cost according to the fair value of abandonedcreditor's rights and other costs such as taxes directly attributable to the assets. Thedifference between the fair value and the book value of the abandoned creditor'srights is included in the current profits and losses. In case of debt restructuring bymodifying other clauses, the Company shall recognize and measure therestructured creditor's rights according to "III, (X) Financial tools" in this note.

In case of debt restructuring by means of paying off debts or combining multipleassets, the Company first recognizes and measures the transferred financial assetsand restructured creditor's rights according to "III. (X) Financial Instruments" in thisnote, and then distributes the net amount of the fair value of the abandonedcreditor's rights after deducting the confirmed amount of the transferred financialassets and restructured creditor's rights according to the fair value ratio of variousassets other than the transferred financial assets, and determines the cost of eachasset according to the aforesaid method. The difference between the fair value andthe book value of the abandoned creditor's rights shall be included in the profitsand losses of the current period.

2. The Company as debtor

The Company shall terminate the recognition of the debt when the currentobligation of the debt is discharged.

If debt restructuring is carried out by means of paying off debts with assets, the

Notes of Financial Report Page 49

Company shall derecognize the relevant assets and the paid-off debts when theymeet the conditions for derecognition, and the difference between the book valueof the paid-off debts and the book value of the transferred assets shall be includedin the profits and losses of the current period.

In case of debt restructuring by converting debts into equity instruments, theCompany shall derecognize the debts paid off when they meet the conditions forderecognition. When the Company initially recognizes equity instruments, it shallmeasure them according to the fair value of equity instruments. If the fair value ofequity instruments cannot be reliably measured, it shall be measured according tothe fair value of debts paid off. The difference between the book value of the debtpaid off and the amount recognized by the equity instrument shall be included inthe profits and losses of the current period.

In case of debt restructuring by modifying other terms, the Company shall recognizeand measure the restructured debt according to "III. (X) Financial Instruments" inthis note.

If debt restructuring is carried out by means of paying off debts or combiningmultiple assets, the Company shall recognize and measure equity instruments andrestructured debts according to the aforesaid methods, and the difference betweenthe book value of the paid-off debts and the book value of the transferred assetsand the sum of the recognized amounts of equity instruments and restructureddebts shall be included in the profits and losses of the current period.

(XXIX) Other significant accounting policies and accounting estimates

Major accounting estimates and judgements

When preparing financial statements, the Company's Management needs to use estimatesand assumptions, which will affect the application of accounting policies and the amountof assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual conditions may differ from theseestimates. The Management of the Company continuously evaluates the judgment of keyassumptions and uncertainties involved in the estimation, and the impact of changes inaccounting estimates will be recognized in the current and future periods.

Notes of Financial Report Page 50

The main uncertainties in the estimated amount are as follows:

1. Measurement of expected credit losses

The Company calculates the expected credit loss through the default risk exposure and theexpected credit loss rate, and determines the expected credit loss rate based on thedefault probability and the default loss rate. When determining the expected credit lossrate, the Company uses internal historical credit loss experience and other data, andadjusts the historical data in combination with current conditions and forward-lookinginformation. When considering forward-looking information, the indicators used by theCompany include the risk of economic downturn, the expected increase in unemploymentrate, changes in the external market environment, technological environment andcustomer conditions. The Company regularly monitors and reviews assumptions relatedto the calculation of expected credit losses.

2. Provision for decline in value of inventories

As mentioned in Note “III. (XI) Inventory” , the Company regularly estimates the netrealizable value of the inventory, and recognizes the difference in inventory cost higherthan the net realizable value. When estimating the net realizable value of inventory, theCompany considers the purpose of holding the inventory and uses the availableinformation as the basis for estimation, including the market price of the inventory andthe Company's past operating costs. The actual selling price, completion cost, salesexpenses and taxes of the inventory may change according to changes in market salesconditions, production technology, or the actual use of the inventory. Therefore, theamount of inventory depreciation reserve may change according to the above reasons.Adjustments to the inventory impairment will affect the current profit and loss.

3. Impairment of other assets except inventory and financial assets

As mentioned in Note “III. (XVIII) Long-term Asset Impairment”, the Company performs animpairment assessment on assets other than inventory and financial assets on the balancesheet date to determine whether the recoverable amount of the asset has fallen to a lowerlevel than its book value. If the situation shows that the book value of the long-term assetsmay not be fully recovered, the relevant assets will be deemed to be impaired and theimpairment loss will be recognized accordingly.

Notes of Financial Report Page 51

The recoverable amount is the higher of the net value of the fair value of the asset (orasset group) minus the disposal expenses and the present value of the asset (or assetgroup) 's expected future cash flow. Because the Company cannot reliably obtain thepublic market price of assets (or asset groups), and cannot reliably and accurately estimatethe fair value of assets. Therefore, the Company regards the present value of the expectedfuture cash flow as the recoverable amount. When estimating the present value of futurecash flows, it is necessary to make a significant judgment on the output, selling price,related operating costs of the products produced by the asset (or asset group), and thediscount rate used in calculating the present value. The Company will use all availablerelevant information when estimating the recoverable amount, including the prediction ofoutput, selling price and related operating costs based on reasonable and supportableassumptions.

4. Depreciation and amortization of assets such as fixed assets and intangible assetsAs described in Note “III. (XIV) Fixed assets” and Note “III. (XVII) Intangible assets”, theCompany shall accrue depreciation for the fixed assets and amortization for intangibleassets within the useful life after considering their residual values. The Company regularlyreviews the useful life of related assets to determine the amount of depreciation andamortization expenses to be included in each reporting period. The useful life of assets isdetermined by the Company based on past experience with similar assets and incombination with anticipated technological changes. If the previous estimates changesignificantly, the depreciation and amortization expenses will be adjusted in the future.

5. Deferred income tax assets

When it is estimated that sufficient taxable income will be available in future periods toutilize the unrecovered tax losses and deductible temporary differences, the Companycalculates and recognizes the related deferred income tax asset to the extent that it isprobable that taxable income will be available against which the unrecovered tax lossesand deductible temporary differences can be utilized, and on the basis of the income taxrate applicable to the period in which the asset is expected to be recovered. The Companyis required to use judgment to estimate the timing and amount of future taxable incomeand to make reasonable estimates and judgments about the applicable future income taxrates in accordance with current tax policies and other relevant policies to determine theamount of deferred income tax assets to be recognized. If the timing and amount of actual

Notes of Financial Report Page 52

profits to be generated in future periods or the actual applicable income tax rate differsfrom the Management's estimates, such differences will have an impact on the amount ofdeferred income tax assets.

VIII. Risks associated with financial instruments

The Company's principal financial instruments include investments in other equityinstruments, borrowings, receivables and payables, and a detailed description of eachfinancial instrument is set out in Note VI. The risks associated with these financialinstruments, and the risk management policies adopted by the Company to mitigate theserisks, are described below. These risk exposures are managed and monitored by theCompany’s management to ensure that the above risks are kept within limits.

Notes of Financial Report Page 118

The Company's objectives in engaging in risk management are to strike an appropriatebalance between risk and return, to minimise the negative impact of risk on the Company'soperating performance and to maximise the interests of shareholders and other equityinvestors. Based on these risk management objectives, the Company's basic strategy forrisk management is to identify and analyse the various risks to which the Company isexposed, establish appropriate risk tolerance limits and manage the risks, as well asmonitor the various risks in a timely and reliable manner to keep the risks within the limits.

1. Credit risk

At December 31st, 2023, the largest exposure to credit risk that could give rise tofinancial losses for the Company arises primarily from losses incurred on theCompany's financial assets as a result of the failure of the other party to the contractto perform its obligations, specifically:

The book value of financial assets is recognised in the consolidated balance sheet;for financial instruments measured at fair value, the book value reflects the riskexposure but is not the maximum exposure and its maximum exposure will changewith future changes in fair value.In order to mitigate credit risk, the Company has established a dedicateddepartment to determine credit limits, perform credit approvals and implementother monitoring procedures to ensure that the necessary measures are taken tocollect overdue claims. In addition, the Company reviews the collection of eachindividual receivable at each balance sheet date to ensure that adequate provisionsfor bad debts are made for uncollectible amounts. As a result, the Company'smanagement believes that the Company's exposure to credit risk has beensignificantly reduced.The Company's working fund is placed with financial institutions with high creditratings and therefore it is a low-credit risk working fund.

2. Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financialobligations as they fall due. The Company manages its liquidity risk by ensuring thatit has sufficient financial liquidity to meet its obligations as they fall due withoutincurring unacceptable losses or causing damage to its corporate reputation, and it

Notes of Financial Report Page 119

regularly analyses the structure and maturity of its liabilities to ensure thatsufficient funds are available. The Company's management monitors the use ofbank borrowings and ensures compliance with borrowing agreements. At the sametime, the Company negotiates financing with financial institutions to maintain acertain credit limit and mitigate liquidity risk.

3. Market risk

The market risk of financial instruments refers to the risk that the fair value or futurecash flow of financial instruments fluctuates due to market price changes, includingexchange rate risk, interest rate risk and other price risks.

(1) Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk refers to fluctuations of fair value or future cash flows of afinancial instrument due to market rate changes.

The Company’s exposure to interest rate risk is cash flow interest risk primarilyarising from variable-rate bank balances and variable-rate borrowings. Currently,the Company does not have a specific policy to manage its interest rate risk. Themanagement will carefully choose financing methods, and combine fixedinterest rates with variable interest rates, and short-term obligations with long-term obligations. By using effective interest rate risk management methods, theCompany closely monitors interest rate risk, controls the size of variable-rateborrowings and will consider interest-rate swaps to acquire an expectedstructure of interest rates shall the need arise.

(2) Exchange rate risk

Exchange rate risk refers to the risk of fluctuations in the fair value of financialinstruments or future cash flows due to changes in foreign exchange rates.

The Company's exposure to exchange rate risk relates primarily to USD, HKD, JPYand EUR. Except for a small amount of purchases of raw materials and sales offinished goods which are settled in USD, HKD, JPY and EUR, the Company's othermajor business activities are settled in RMB. As at December 31st, 2023, the assetsor liabilities described in the table below are the balances of items expressed in USD,HKD, JPY and EUR.

IX. Disclosure of fair value

The values input of fair value measurement are divided into three layers:

The first layer input value is the unadjusted quotation of the same assets or liabilities thatcan be obtained on the measurement day in the active market.

The second layer input value is the directly or indirectly observable input value of therelated assets or liabilities in addition to the first layer input value.

The third layer input value is the unobservable input value of the related assets or liabilities.

The layer of fair value measurement results is determined by the lowest level of the inputvalue which is of great significance to the fair value measurement as a whole.
