As the demand for “glocalization” continues to increase, low-costmanufacturing regions such as Southeast Asia, Mexico, and Eastern Europe are gradually heating up,and production capacity is growing rapidly.(II) Industry characteristics and development trends

1. The industry has a large overall scale, with high industry concentration and fierce competitionIn 2022, the industrial scale of the global EMS industry has exceeded USD 720 billion, with highindustry concentration. The top 10 manufacturers in the world accounted for more than 70% of the totalrevenue. Leading enterprises in the industry have accumulated rich customer resources and industryexperience, with large assets and revenues, and maintained a relatively stable leading position. Due tothe accelerated upgrading of electronic products and equipment industry, shortened product life cycleand high technical transparency, the industry is experiencing increasingly fierce competition in sub-sectors in the industry. Enterprises in the industry need to actively expand new products and customerincremental demand, improve process, intelligent manufacturing and new product research anddevelopment so as to increase product added value.

2. "AI+" powers 3C product intelligence and subversive innovation

Therealization of intelligent 3C products requires stronger chip computing power, higher transmission speed,lower latency and higher reliability. The rapid development of advanced chipmaking process leads to theprogress of computing power, and the processing capabilities of "cloud" and "end" devices are

2022 Annual Report

continuously strengthened to meet the increasingly high requirements of AI for computing power. At thesame time, with the continuous growth of AI, cloud computing and metaverse, cloud related business oftechnology giants continues to expand in scale, and the investment in cloud infrastructure continues toincrease, which also leads to accelerated growth in demand for servers, switches, and storage-relatedelectronic products. The constant upgrading of communication technology strengthens the "cloud-to-end" and "end-to-end" transmission capabilities, which better meet the needs of future large-volume datatransmission and real-time interaction, and empower AI through data transmission to realize 3C productintelligence. With the gradual application and promotion of new-generation communication technologiessuch as Wi-Fi 6E, Wi-Fi 7, millimeter waves, and low-earth orbit satellite communications, they areintegrated with 5G and even 6G networks, and, by using edge computing and artificial intelligencetechnologies, achieve intelligent management and optimized network resources, potentially expected tobuild an integrated communication network with seamless global coverage of land, sea and air space.

3. "Carbon neutrality" promotes the rapid growth of electric vehicles and energy storageIn the global context of “carbon neutrality”, the sales volume of electric vehicles has greatly increasedand the proportion of electric vehicles in the global sales of new vehicles will continue to grow rapidly.As the demand for automotive electronics related to electric vehicles has surged, the upgrading oftechnologies such as intelligent cockpit and ADAS has accelerated, and the proportion of manufacturingservice outsourcing has increased.

(IV) Possible risks

√Applicable □ Not Applicable

1. The risk of weak macroeconomic recovery and insufficient demand

The EMS industry chain has shifted from supply chain-driven to demand-driven, and has a strongcorrelation with the macroeconomic environment. Affected by many unfavorable factors such as theRussia-Ukraine conflict, geopolitics, high inflation, tightening financial environment and repeated Covidpandemics, the global economic growth rate will further decline, which will have a certain impact onterminal demand, which may affect the Company's operating performance. The currently excessiveinventory in the upstream of the supply chain will return to a reasonable level in about half a year, whichwill have a short-term impact on the supply chain. The Company will continue to follow the trend of theindustrial chain pattern, maintain close interaction with customers to grasp customer needs, strengthenthe collection and analysis of market information to reduce the impact of product demand changes on theCompany, participate in product design or cooperative product development of leading customers in theindustry, Realize resource sharing and ensure that R&D technology can meet customer product needs.

2. Industry competition risks

2022 Annual Report

EMS industry is a fully competitive industry with numerous global manufacturers, but its overallconcentration is on the rise. According to market research and information collected by USI, the revenueof the world’s top 25 EMS manufacturers accounted for more than 80% of the entire market in 2020 and2021, and the industry kept high level of rivalry and concentration. With an increasing number ofindustry participants and shortened product life cycle, the Company is faced with intense competition insub-sectors of the industry. If the Company cannot ensure the leading advantages of technology andproducts or extend the industrial chain to the design with high added value in time, its market share andprofit margin may face the risk of being squeezed.

3. Risk of high customer concentration

During the reporting period, the Company’s revenue from its top five customers accounted for 47.75%of the total revenue, showing high customer concentration. Such customers are internationally-renownedelectronic brands, and have established a long-term and stable cooperative relationship with USI toensure sufficient business order. In spite of this, if the customer demand declines, or the Company failsto timely meet the customer requirements in product R&D and design, product quality control, qualifiedsupplier certification, delivery date, etc., it may cause certain fluctuations in customer orders, thusadversely affecting the Company's business scale and operating performance. Therefore, the Companyfaces the risk of high customer concentration to a certain extent.

4. New product development and R&D investment risk

Communication electronics, consumer electronics, cloud and storage products account for more than 80%of its revenue. As new technologies and products are constantly emerging in the industry where theCompany is operating, the rapid upgrading of technologies and products may impact the Company'sproducts using existing technologies. If the Company fails to increase investment reasonably andcontinuously in technology R&D, or timely develop new products with higher quality and meetingcustomer needs, it will be unable to maintain its core competitiveness, which will have a potentialadverse impact on its profitability.

5. Transnational operation risk

To better serve major customers, USI has arranged production, sales and logistics worldwide to quicklyrespond to the product delivery needs of major customers. As a result, the Company has 28 large-scaleproduction bases in 10 countries and regions. Overseas companies need to abide by the laws andregulations of the country and region where they are located when conducting business or establishinginstitutions abroad. If the laws, regulations, industrial policies or political and economic environment ofthe countries and regions where overseas business is located have undergone major changes, or there areunpredictable factors such as international tensions, wars, trade sanctions or other force majeure, it mayhave potential adverse effects on the normal business operation and sustainable development of overseascompanies. In addition, there are differences between operating sites located in various countries orregions and the listed company in terms of accounting and taxation systems, business practices,company management systems, and corporate culture. If the relevant integration plan is not effectivelyimplemented, there may be risks such as a lack of synergy from mergers and acquisitions or newlyestablished companies, loss of core personnel, and decline in financial performance.

6. Exchange rate risk

The Company is a global electronic design and manufacturing service provider, with sales service andmanufacturing sites across the four continents of Asia, Europe, America and Africa. The purchase ofmaterials, sales and shipments are mainly settled in foreign currencies (mainly USD). During thereporting period, the appreciation of the USD at the time of material procurement and product shipmentas well as gains from exchange-related hedging operations had a positive impact on the Company, Withthe expansion of the business scale, however, the volume of businesses settled in foreign currencies areexpected to rise, and volatilities in exchange rate may affect the Company's gross profit and gains orlosses from foreign currency translations, and pose operational risks for the Company. In the face of thecomplex political and economic landscape and business environment across the world, the Companywill pay close attention to the changes in the foreign exchange market according to its own operationalneeds, adequately carry out foreign exchange hedging, and minimize exchange rate risks.

7. Emerging risks

2022 Annual Report

3. Key Audit Matters

Cut-off of Revenue Recognition

Matter Description

As set out in Notes (V), 46 to the financial statements, the Company's operating income in 2022 inthe consolidated financial statements is RMB 68,516,075,963.26, which is significant. TheCompany’s sales mainly include revenue from sale of goods , and the revenue is recognized at thetime point when the customer obtains the control over the commodity. Under different terms of salescontracts and trades, the time point of the transfer of commodity control is different. As revenue isone of the key performance indicators of the Company, and the time point for the transfer of controlis different for various transaction modes in relation to revenue recognition, there is a risk that revenueis not recognized in the appropriate accounting period. Therefore, we consider whether revenue isrecorded in the appropriate accounting period as a key audit matter.Audit Response

Our procedures in relation to above key audit matter mainly included:

1. Understand the Company's key internal control related to the cut-off of revenue recognition,evaluate the design and implementation of relevant internal control, and test the effectiveness ofits operation;

2. Check the Company's material sales contracts, identify the contract terms and trade conditions

related to the time point of product control transfer, and evaluate whether the time point ofrevenue recognition of the Company according to the contract terms meets the provisions of theaccounting standards for business enterprises;

3. Select samples for the sales transactions recorded before and after the balance sheet date, andcheck the accounting records, delivery orders, cargo right transfer documents and othersupporting documents related to revenue recognition, so as to evaluate whether the revenue isrecorded in the appropriate accounting period.

6. Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements - continued

As part of an audit in accordance with China Standards on Auditing, we exercise professional judgmentand maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:

(1) Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraudor error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence thatis sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a materialmisstatement resulting from fraud is higher than that resulting from error, as fraud may involvecollusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.

(2) Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit proceduresthat are appropriate in the circumstances.

(3) Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting

estimates and related disclosures made by the management.

(4) Conclude on the appropriateness of the management's use of the going concern basis of accounting and,based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events orconditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Ifwe conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor's reportto the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modifyour opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor'sreport. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a goingconcern.

(5) Evaluate the overall presentation (including the disclosures), structure and content of the financialstatements, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in amanner that achieves fair presentation.

(II) BASIS OF PREPARATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Basis of preparation

The Company and its subsidiaries (collectively referred to as the "Group") have adopted the Accounting Standardsfor Business Enterprises ("ASBE") and relative regulations issued by the Ministry of Finance ("MoF"). In addition,the Group has disclosed relevant financial information in accordance with Information Disclosure andPresentation Rules for Companies Offering Securities to the Public No. 15 - General Provisions on FinancialReporting (Revised in 2014).

Where assets are impaired, provisions for asset impairment are made in accordance with relevantrequirements.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTSFOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022

(II) BASIS OF PREPARATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - continued

Basis of accounting and principle of measurement – continued

Where the historical cost is adopted as the measurement basis, assets are recorded at the amount of cash and cashequivalents paid or the fair value of the consideration given to acquire them at the time of their acquisition.Liabilities are recorded at the amount of proceeds or assets received or the contractual amounts for assuming thepresent obligation, or, at the amounts of cash and cash equivalents expected to be paid to settle the liabilities inthe normal course of business.

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transactionbetween market participants at the measurements date, regardless of whether that price is directly observable orestimated using valuation technique. Fair value measurement and disclosure in the financial statements aredetermined according to the above basis.

The capacity of market participants to realize the maximum profit of non-financial assets, or the capacity of otherparticipants who acquired non-financial assets to realize the maximum profit will be considered when measuringfair values of such non-financial assets.

For a financial asset taking the transaction price as its fair value on initial recognition and using valuationtechniques involving unobservable inputs in subsequent measurement of fair value, such valuation technique iscorrected in the valuation process, as to ensure that the initial recognition result determined by valuationtechniques is equal to the transaction price.

Fair value measurements are categorized into Level 1, 2 or 3 based on degree to which the inputs to the fair valuemeasurements are observable and the significance of the inputs to the fair value measurement in its entirety,which are described as follows:

? Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entitycan access at the measurement date;? Level 2 inputs are inputs, other than inputs within Level 1, that are observable for the asset or liability? Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.

The Group adopts RMB toprepare its financial statements.

5. The accounting treatment of business combinations involving enterprises under common control andbusiness combinations not involving enterprises under common control

5.1 Business combinations not involving enterprises under common control and goodwill

A business combination not involving enterprises under common control is a business combination in which allof the combining enterprises are not ultimately controlled by the same party or parties before and after thecombination.

The cost of combination is the aggregate of the fair values, at the acquisition date, of the assets given, liabilitiesincurred or assumed, and equity securities issued by the acquirer in exchange for control of the acquire. Theintermediary expenses incurred by the acquirer in respect of auditing, legal services, valuation and consultancyservices, etc. and other associated administrative expenses attributable to the business combination are recognizedin profit or loss when they are incurred.

The acquiree's identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities, acquired by the acquirer in a businesscombination, that meet the recognition criteria shall be measured at fair value at the acquisition date.

When the business combination contract provides that, upon the occurrence of multiple future contingencies, theacquirer shall pay an additional or request for recovery of part of the previously paid consideration for thecombination, such contingent consideration as set out in the contract shall be recognized as a liability or asset bythe Group as a part of the aggregate consideration transferred in the business combination, and be included in thecost of combination at the fair value at the acquisition date. Within twelve months after the acquisition, if thecontingent consideration needs to be adjusted as new or further evidences are obtained in respect of circumstancesexisted as of the acquisition date, the amount preciously included in the goodwill shall be adjusted. A change inor adjustment to the contingent consideration under other circumstances shall be measured in accordance withthe Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises No. 22 – Financial Instruments: Recognition andMeasurement and the Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises No. 13 – Contingencies. Any change oradjustment is included in profit or loss for the current period].

Where the cost of combination exceeds the acquirer's interest in the fair value of the acquiree's identifiable netassets, the difference is treated as an asset and recognized as goodwill, which is measured at cost on initialrecognition. Where the cost of combination is less than the acquirer's interest in the fair value of the acquiree'sidentifiable net assets, the acquirer firstly reassesses the measurement of the fair values of the acquiree'sidentifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities and measurement of the cost of combination. If after thatreassessment, the cost of combination is still less than the acquirer's interest in the fair value of the acquiree'sidentifiable net assets, the acquirer recognizes the remaining difference immediately in profit or loss for thecurrent period.

If either the fair values of identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities acquired in a combination or thecost of business combination can be determined only provisionally by the end of the period in which the businesscombination was effected, the acquirer recognizes and measures the combination using those provisional values.Any adjustments to those provisional values within twelve months after the acquisition date are treated as if theyhad been recognized and measured on the acquisition date.

Goodwill arising on a business combination is measured at cost less accumulated impairment losses, and ispresented separately in the consolidated financial statements.

6. Preparation of consolidated financial statements

6.1 Preparation of consolidated financial statements

The scope of consolidation in the consolidated financial statements is determined on the basis of control. Controlis the power over the investee, exposures or rights to variable returns from its involvement with the investee, andthe ability to use its power over the investee to affect the amount of the investor's returns. If changes of relatedfacts and situations lead to changes of related elements of control, the Group will conduct reassessment.

The combination of subsidiaries begins with the Group's control over the subsidiary, and ceases with the Group'slosing control of the subsidiary.

For a subsidiary disposed by the Group, the operating results and cash flows before the date of disposal (the datewhen control is lost) are included in the consolidated income statement and consolidated statement of cash flows,as appropriate.

For a subsidiary acquired through a business combination not involving enterprises under common control[or thecombined party under combination by merge, the operating results and cash flows from the acquisition date (thedate when control is obtained) are included in the consolidated income statement and consolidated statement ofcash flows, as appropriate.

No matter when the business combination occurs in the reporting period, subsidiaries acquired through a businesscombination involving enterprises under common control are included in the Group's scope of consolidation asif they had been included in the scope of consolidation from the date when they first came under the commoncontrol of the ultimate controlling party. Their operating results and cash flows from the beginning of the earliestreporting period or from the date when they first came under the common control of the ultimate controlling partyare included in the consolidated income statement and consolidated statement of cash flows, as appropriate.

The significant accounting policies and accounting periods adopted by the subsidiaries are determined based onthe uniform accounting policies and accounting periods set out by the Company.

Influence over the consolidated financial statements arising from significant intra-group transactions areeliminated on consolidation.

The portion of subsidiaries' equity that is not attributable to the Company is treated as minority interests andpresented as "minority interests" in the consolidated balance sheet within shareholders' equity. The portion of netprofits or losses of subsidiaries for the period attributable to minority interests is presented as "Profit or lossattributable to minority interests" in the consolidated income statement below the "net profit" line item.

When the amount of loss for the period attributable to the minority shareholders of a subsidiary exceeds theminority shareholders' portion of the opening balance of owners' equity of the subsidiary, the excess amount isstill allocated against minority interests.

Acquisition of minority interests or disposal of interest in a subsidiary that does not result in the loss of controlover the subsidiary is accounted for as equity transactions. The carrying amounts of the Company's interests andminority interests are adjusted to reflect the changes in their relative interests in the subsidiary. The differencebetween the amount by which the minority interests are adjusted and the fair value of the consideration paid orreceived is adjusted to capital reserve under owners' equity. If the capital reserve is not sufficient to absorb thedifference, the excess are adjusted against retained profits.

7. Classification of joint arrangements and accounting treatments of joint operations

A joint arrangement is classified into joint operation and joint venture, depending on the rights and obligations ofthe parties to the arrangement, which is assessed by considering the structure and the legal form of the arrangement,the terms agreed by the parties in the contractual arrangement and, when relevant, other facts and circumstances.A joint operation is a joint arrangement whereby the parties that have joint control of the arrangement have rightsto the assets, and obligations for the liabilities, relating to the arrangement. A joint venture is a joint arrangementwhereby the parties that have joint control of the arrangement have rights to the net assets of the joint arrangement.

The Group accounts for investments in joint ventures using equity method. Refer to Note (III) 13.3.2 "Long-termequity investments accounted for using the equity method" for details.

8. Recognition criteria of cash and cash equivalents

Cash comprises cash on hand and deposits that can be readily withdrawn on demand. Cash equivalents are theGroup's short-term (generally refers to expiration within three months from the date of purchase), highly liquidinvestments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant riskof changes in value.

9. Translation of transactions and financial statements denominated in foreign currencies

9.1 Transactions denominated in foreign currencies

A foreign currency transaction is recorded, on initial recognition, by applying an exchange rate that approximatesthe actual spot exchange rate on the date of transaction. The exchange rate that approximates the actual spotexchange rate on the date of transaction is calculated and determined according to the middle price of the marketexchange rate at the beginning of the month in which the transaction occurs.

At the balance sheet date, foreign currency monetary items are translated into functional currency using the spotexchange rates at the balance sheet date. Exchange differences arising from the differences between the spotexchange rates prevailing at the balance sheet date and those on initial recognition or at the previous balance sheetdate are recognized in profit or loss for the period, except that (1) exchange differences related to a specific-purpose borrowing denominated in foreign currency that qualify for capitalization are capitalized as part of thecost of the qualifying asset during the capitalization period; (2) exchange differences related to hedginginstruments for the purpose of hedging against foreign currency risks are accounted for using hedge accounting;

(3) exchange differences arising from changes in the carrying amounts (other than the amortized cost) of monetaryitems at fair value through other comprehensive income are recognized as other comprehensive income.

When the consolidated financial statements include foreign operation(s), if there is foreign currency monetaryitem constituting a net investment in a foreign operation, exchange difference arising from changes in exchangerates are recognized as "exchange differences arising on translation of financial statements denominated in foreigncurrencies " in other comprehensive income, and in profit and loss for the period upon disposal of the foreignoperation.

Foreign currency non-monetary items measured at historical cost are translated to the amounts in functionalcurrency at the spot exchange rates on the dates of the transactions and the amounts in functional currency remainunchanged. Foreign currency non-monetary items measured at fair value are re-translated at the spot exchangerate on the date the fair value is determined. Difference between the re-translated functional currency amount andthe original functional currency amount is treated as changes in fair value (including changes of exchange rate)and is recognized in profit and loss or as other comprehensive income.

9 Translation of transactions and financial statements denominated in foreign currencies – continued

9.2 Translation of financial statements denominated in foreign currencies

For the purpose of preparing the consolidated financial statements, financial statements of a foreign operation aretranslated from the foreign currency into RMB using the following method: assets and liabilities on the balancesheet are translated at the spot exchange rate prevailing at the balance sheet date; shareholders' equity items aretranslated at the spot exchange rates at the dates on which such items arose; all items in the income statement aswell as items reflecting the distribution of profits are translated at an exchange rates that approximate the actualspot exchange rates on the dates of the transactions; The difference between the translated assets and the aggregateof liabilities and shareholders' equity items is recognized as other comprehensive income and included inshareholders' equity.

Cash flows arising from a transaction in foreign currency and the cash flows of a foreign subsidiary are translatedat an exchange rate which approximates the spot exchange rate on the date of the cash flows. The effect ofexchange rate changes on cash and cash equivalents is regarded as a reconciling item and presented separately inthe cash flow statement as "effect of exchange rate changes on cash and cash equivalents".

The closing balances and the actual amounts of previous year are presented at the translated amounts in theprevious year's financial statements.

On disposal of the Group's entire interest in a foreign operation, or upon a loss of control over a foreignoperation due to disposal of certain equity investments or other reasons, the Group transfers the accumulatedexchange differences arising on translation of financial statements of this foreign operation attributable to theowners' equity of the Company and presented under owners' equity, to profit or loss in the period in which thedisposal occurs.

In case of a disposal of part equity investments or other reason leading to lower interest percentage in foreignoperations but does not result in the Group's losing control over a foreign operation, the proportionate share ofaccumulated exchange differences arising on translation of financial statements are re-attributed to minorityinterests and are not recognized in profit and loss. For partial disposals of equity interests in foreign operationswhich are associates or joint ventures, the proportionate share of the accumulated exchange differences arisingon translation of financial statements of foreign operations is reclassified to profit or loss.

10. Financial instruments

Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognized when the Group becomes a party to the contractualprovisions of the instrument. Financial assets and financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value.

For financial assets purchased or sold in a regular way, the Group recognizes assets acquired and liabilitiesassumed on a trade date basis, or derecognizes the assets sold on a trade date basis.

The Group recognizes a financial asset or a financial liability when it becomes a party to the contractual provisionsof a financial instrument.

All regular way purchases or sales of financial assets are recognized and derecognized on a trade date basis.

10 Financial instruments – continued

Financial assets and financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value. For financial assets and financialliabilities at fair value through profit or loss, relevant transaction costs are directly recognized in profit or loss;transaction costs relating to other categories of financial assets and financial liabilities are included in the valueinitially recognized. For accounts receivable recognized that do not contain a significant financing component ora financing component included in the contracts less than one year which are not considered by the Group, whichare within the scope of Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises No.14 - Revenue (hereinafter referred toas "revenue standards"), transaction prices defined in the standards shall be adopted on initial recognition.

The effective interest method is a method that is used in the calculation of the amortized cost of a financial assetor a financial liability and in the allocation of the interest income or interest expense in profit or loss over therelevant period.

The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash flows through the expected lifeof the financial asset or financial liability to the gross carrying amount of a financial asset or to the amortized costof a financial liability. When calculating the effective interest rate, the Group estimates future cash flows byconsidering all the contractual terms of the financial asset or financial liability (for example, prepayment,extension, call option or similar options) but shall not consider the expected credit losses.

The amortized cost of a financial asset or a financial liability is the amount of a financial asset or a financialliability initially recognized net of principal repaid, plus or less the cumulative amortized amount arising fromamortization of the difference between the amount initially recognized and the amount at the maturity date usingthe effective interest method, net of cumulative credit loss allowance (only applicable to financial assets).

10.1 Classification, recognition and measurement of financial assets

Subsequent to initial recognition, the Group's financial assets of various categories are subsequently measured atamortized cost, at fair value through other comprehensive income or at fair value through profit or loss.

If contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments ofprincipal and interest on the principal amount outstanding, and the financial asset is held within a business modelwhose objective is to hold financial assets in order to collect contractual cash flows, such asset is classified intofinancial assets measured at amortized cost, which include cash and bank balances, notes receivable, accountsreceivable, other receivables, non-current assets due within one year and long-term receivables and etc.

Financial assets are subsequently measured at fair value through other comprehensive income ("FVOCI") when

(1) the financial asset is held within a business model whose objective is achieved by both collecting contractualcash flows and selling; and (2) the contractual terms give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solelypayments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding. Such financial assets due over one yearsince acquisition are presented as other debt investments. Other debt investments due within one year (inclusive)since the balance sheet date are presented as non-current assets due within one year. Accounts receivable andnotes receivable at FVTOCI since acquisition are presented as factoring with receivables, other items due withinone year (inclusive) are presented as other current assets.

On initial recognition, the Group may irrevocably designate non-trading equity instruments, other than contingentconsideration recognized through business combination not involving enterprises under common control, asfinancial assets at FVTOCI on an individual basis. Such financial assets at FVTOCI are presented as other equityinstrument.

10.1 Classification, recognition and measurement of financial assets - continued

A financial asset is classified as held-for-trading if one of the following conditions is satisfied:

? It has been acquired principally for the purpose of selling in the near term; or

? On initial recognition it is part of a portfolio of identified financial instruments that the Group manages togetherand there is objective evidence that the Group has a recent actual pattern of short-term profit-taking; or

? It is a derivative that is not a financial guarantee contract or designated and effective as a hedging instrument.

Financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss ("FVTPL") include those classified as financial assetsat FVTPL and those designated as financial assets at FVTPL.

? Any financial assets that does not qualify for amortized cost measurement or measurement at FVTOCI or

designated at FVTOCI are classified into financial assets at FVTPL.

? Upon initial recognition, in order to eliminate or significantly reduce accounting mismatch and qualified hybridfinancial instrument combines financial asset with embedded derivatives, the Group will irrevocably designated itas financial liabilities at FVTPL.

Financial assets at FVTPL assets other than derivative financial assets are presented as "held-for-trading financialassets". Such financial assets at FVTPL which may fall due more than one year (or without fixed term) since thebalance sheet date and will be held more than one year are presented as other non-current financial assets.

10.1.1 Financial assets measured at amortized cost

The financial assets measured at amortized cost are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effectiveinterest method. Gain or loss arising from impairment or derecognition is recognized in profit or loss.

The Group recognizes interest income from financial assets classified as financial assets at amortized cost usingthe effective interest method. The Group calculates and recognizes interest income through account balance offinancial assets multiplying effective interest, except for the following circumstances:

? For purchased or originated credit-impaired financial assets, the Group calculates and recognizes itsinterest income based on amortized cost of the financial asset and the effective interest through creditadjustment since initial recognition.

? For purchased or originated financial assets without credit impairment incurred while with credit

impairment incurred in subsequent periods, the Group calculates and recognizes its interest income basedon amortized cost of the financial asset and the effective interest in subsequent periods. If the credit riskof the financial asset is reduced during subsequent periods and credit impairment does not exist, and theimprovement can be related to an event occurring after application of aforesaid provisions, the Groupshall calculate and recognize interest income through account balance of financial assets multiplyingeffective interest.

10.1.2 Financial assets at FVTOCI

Impairment losses or gains related to financial assets at FVTOCI, interest income measured using effectiveinterest method and exchange gains or losses are recognized into profit or loss for the current period, except forthe above circumstances, changes in fair value of the financial assets are included in other comprehensive income.Amounts charged to profit or loss for every period equal to the amount charged to profit or loss as it is measuredat amortized costs. When the financial asset is derecognized, the cumulative gains or losses previously recognizedin other comprehensive income shall be removed from other comprehensive income and recognized in profit orloss.

Changes in fair value of non-trading equity instrument investments designated as financial assets at FVTOCI arerecognized in other comprehensive income, and the cumulative gains or losses previously recognized in othercomprehensive income allocated to the part derecognized are transferred and included in retained earnings.During the period in which the Group holds the non-trading equity instrument, revenue from dividends isrecognized in profit or loss for the current period when (1) the Group has established the right of collectingdividends; (2) it is probable that the associated economic benefits will flow to the Group; and (3) the amount ofdividends can be measured reliably.

10.1.3 Financial assets at FVTPL

Financial assets at FVTPL are subsequently measured at fair value. Gain or loss arising from changes in fairvalues and dividends and interests related to the financial assets are recognized in profit or loss.

10.2 Impairment of financial instruments

The Group makes accounting treatment on impairment and recognizes loss allowance for expected credit losses("ECL") on financial assets measured at amortized cost, financial assets classified as at FVTOCI and leasereceivables.

The Group makes a loss allowance against amount of lifetime ECL of notes receivable and accounts receivablearising from transactions adopting the Revenue Standard as well as lease receivables arising from transactionsadopting ASBE No. 21- Leases.

For other financial instruments, except for the purchased or originated credit-impaired financial assets, at eachbalance sheet date, the Group assess changes in credit risk of relevant financial instruments since initialrecognition. If the credit risk of the above financial instruments has increased significantly since initial recognition,the Group measures loss allowance based on the amount of full lifetime; if credit risk of the financial instrumenthas not increased significantly since initial recognition, the Group recognizes loss allowance based on 12-monthECL of the financial instrument. Increase in or reversal of credit loss allowance is included in profit or loss asloss/gain on impairment, except for financial assets classified as at fair value through other comprehensive income.For the financial assets classified as at FVTOCI, the Group recognizes credit loss allowance in othercomprehensive income and recognizes the loss/gain on impairment in profit or loss, while the Group does notdecrease the carrying amount of such financial assets in the balance sheet.

In the previous accounting period, the Group has measured the loss allowance according to the amount of ECLfor the entire period of the financial instrument, but on the current balance sheet date, the financial instrument isno longer a significant increase in credit risk since the initial recognition. The Group measures the loss allowancefor the financial instrument on the balance sheet date based on the amount of ECL in the next 12 months. Thereversal amount of the loss allowance formed is recognized in profit and loss for the period as an impairment gain.

10.2.1 Significant increase of credit risk

In assessing whether the credit risk has increased significantly since initial recognition, the Group compares therisk of a default occurring on the financial instrument as at the reporting date with the risk of a default occurringon the financial instrument as at the date of initial recognition.

In particular, the following information is taken into account when assessing whether credit risk has increasedsignificantly:

(1) Significant changes in internal price indicators of credit risk as a result of a change in credit risk;

(2) Other changes in the rates or terms of an existing financial instrument that would be significantly differentif the instrument was newly originated or issued at the balance sheet date (such as more stringent covenants,increased amounts of collateral or guarantees, or higher income coverage).

(3) Significant changes in external market indicators of credit risk for a particular financial instrument or

similar financial instruments with the same expected life. These indicators include the credit spread, thecredit swap prices for the borrower, the length of time or the extent to which the fair value of a financialasset has been less than its amortized cost and other market information related to the borrower, such aschanges in the price of a borrower's debt and equity instruments.

(4) Significant changes in actual or expected external credit rating for the financial instruments;

(5) An actual or expected internal credit rating downgrade for the borrower

(6) Adverse changes in business, financial or economic conditions that are expected to cause a significant

change in the debtor's ability to meet its debt obligations;

(7) An actual or expected significant change in the operating results of the debtor;

(8) Significant adverse change in the regulatory, economic, or technological environment of the debtor;

(9) Significant changes in circumstances expected to reduce the debtor's economic incentive to make scheduledcontractual payments;

(10) Significant changes in the expected performance and behavior of the debtor;

(11) Changes in the entity's credit management approach in relation to the financial instrument;

No matter whether credit risk has increased significantly or not subsequent to aforementioned assessment, theGroup considers credit risk of financial instruments has increased significantly when contractual payments offinancial instruments past due over 30 days (inclusive).

The Group assumes that the credit risk on a financial instrument has not increased significantly since initialrecognition if the financial instrument is determined to have lower credit risk at the balance sheet date. A financialinstrument is determined to have lower credit risk if: i) it has a lower risk of default, ii) the borrower has a strongcapacity to meet its contractual cash flow obligations in the near term and iii) adverse changes in economic andbusiness conditions in the longer term may, but will not necessarily, reduce the ability of the borrower to fulfil itscontractual cash flow obligations.

10.2.2 Credit-impaired financial assets

When the Group expected occurrence of one or more events which may cause adverse impact on future cashflows of a financial asset, the financial asset will become a credit-impaired financial assets. Objective evidencethat a financial asset is impaired includes but not limited to the following observable events:

(1) Significant financial difficulty of the issuer or debtor;

(2) A breach of contract by the debtor, such as a default or delinquency in interest or principal payments;

(3) The creditor, for economic or legal reasons relating to the debtor's financial difficulty, granting a concessionto the debtor;

(4) It becoming probable that the debtor will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganizations;

(5) Purchase or originate a financial asset with a large scale of discount, which reflects facts of credit lossincurred.

Whatever the aforementioned assessment results are, the Group presumes that the financial instruments hasdefaulted when contractual payments of financial instruments past due over 90 days (inclusive).

10.2.3 Determination of expected credit loss

Lease receivables are assessed for ECL individually by the Group. In addition, the Group uses provision matrixto calculate ECL for accounts receivable and notes receivable based on aging. According to the Group'sassessment of the credit risk of accounts receivable, the aging information can reflect the customer's ability ofrepayment at the maturity of accounts receivable.

For other receivables, the credit loss of relevant financial instruments shall be determined on a portfolio basis inaddition to those individually significant. The Group classifies financial instruments into different groups basedon common risk characteristics. Common credit risk characteristics include the date of initial recognition,remaining contractual maturity, etc.

The Group determines expected credit losses of relevant financial instruments using the following methods:

? For a financial asset and a lease receivable, a credit loss is the present value of the difference betweenthe contractual cash flows that are due to the Group under the contract and the cash flows that the Groupexpects to receive;? For a financial asset with credit-impaired at the balance sheet date, but not purchased or originatedcredit-impaired, a credit losses is the difference between the asset's gross carrying amount and thepresent value of estimated future cash flows discounted at the financial asset's original effective interestrate.

The factors reflected in methods of measurement of expected credit losses include an unbiased and probability-weighted amount that is determined by evaluating a range of possible outcomes; time value of money; reasonableand supportable information about past events, current conditions and forecasts on future economic status atbalance sheet date without unnecessary additional costs or efforts.

10.2.4 Write-down of financial assets

When the Group will no longer reasonably expect that the contractual cash flows of financial assets can becollected in aggregate or in part, the Group will directly write down the carrying amount of the financial asset,which constitutes derecognition of relevant financial assets.

10.3 Transfer of financial assets

The Group will derecognize a financial asset if one of the following conditions is satisfied: (i) the contractualrights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire; (ii) the financial asset has been transferred and substantiallyall the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset is transferred to the transferee; or (iii) although thefinancial asset has been transferred, the Group neither transfers nor retains substantially all the risks and rewardsof ownership of the financial asset but has not retained control of the financial asset.

If the Group neither transfers nor retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of a financial asset,and it retains control of the financial asset, the Group will recognize the financial asset to the extent of itscontinuing involvement in the transferred financial asset and recognize an associated liability. The Group willmeasure relevant liabilities as follows:

? For transferred financial assets carried at amortized cost, the carrying amount of relevant liabilities is the

carrying amount of financial assets transferred with continuing involvement less amortized cost of theGroup's retained rights (if the Group retains relevant rights upon transfer of financial assets) with additionof amortized cost of obligations assumed by the Group (if the Group assumes relevant obligations upontransfer of financial assets). Relevant liabilities are not designated as financial liabilities at fair valuethrough profit or loss.? For transferred financial assets carried at fair value, the carrying amount of relevant financial liabilities isthe carrying amount of financial assets transferred with continuing involvement less fair value of theGroup's retained rights (if the Group retains relevant rights upon transfer of financial assets) with additionof fair value of obligations assumed by the Group (if the Group assumes relevant obligations upon transferof financial assets). Accordingly, the fair value of relevant rights and obligations shall be measured on anindividual basis.

For a transfer of a financial asset in its entirety that satisfies the derecognition criteria, the difference between (1)the carrying amount of the financial asset transferred at the derecognition date; and (2) the sum of theconsideration received from the transfer of financial assets and any cumulative gain or loss allocated to the partderecognized which has been previously recognized in other comprehensive income, is recognized in profit orloss. If the financial assets transferred by the Group are designated as equity instrument investments at fair valuethrough other comprehensive income that are not held for trading, the cumulative gains or losses previouslyrecognized in other comprehensive income are transferred out and included in retained earnings.

If a part of the transferred financial asset qualifies for derecognition, the overall carrying amount of the financialasset prior to transfer is allocated between the part that continues to be recognized and the part that is derecognized,based on the respective fair value of those parts at the date of transfer. The difference between (1) the carryingamount allocated to the part derecognized on the date of derecognition; and (2) the sum of the considerationreceived for the part derecognized and any cumulative gain or loss allocated to the part derecognized which hasbeen previously recognized in other comprehensive income, is recognized in profit or loss. If the financial assetstransferred by the Group are designated as equity instrument investments at fair value through othercomprehensive income that are not held for trading, the cumulative gains or losses previously recognized in othercomprehensive income are transferred out and included in retained earnings.

For a transfer of a financial asset in its entirety that does not satisfy the derecognition criteria, the Group willcontinue to recognize the transferred financial asset in its entirety and recognize the consideration received asfinancial liabilities.

10.4 Classification of financial liabilities and equity instruments

The Group classifies the financial instrument or its components into financial liabilities or equity instruments atinitial recognition on the basis of the terms of the contract of the financial instruments, the economic substanceas well as legal form reflected, and the definition of financial liabilities or equity instruments.

10.4.1 Classification, recognition and measurement of financial liabilities

On initial recognition, financial liabilities are classified into financial liabilities at fair value through profit orloss and other financial liabilities.

10.4.1.1 Financial liabilities at FVTPL

Financial liabilities at FVTPL include financial liabilities held for trading (including derivatives that are financialliabilities) and financial liabilities designated as at FVTPL. Except that the derivative financial liability ispresented separately, financial liabilities at FVTPL are presented as financial liabilities held-for-trading.

A financial liability is classified as held-for-trading if one of the following conditions is satisfied:

? It has been assumed principally for the purpose of repurchasing in the near term.? On initial recognition, it is part of a portfolio of identified financial instruments that the Group managestogether and there is objective evidence that the Group has a recent actual pattern of short-term profit-taking.? It is a derivative that is not designated as a financial guarantee contract and effective as a hedging

instrument.

On initial recognition, financial liabilities that meet one of the following conditions are designated as financialliabilities at fair value through profit or loss: (1) Such designation eliminates or significantly reduces accountingmismatch; (2) The financial liability forms part of a group of financial liabilities or a group of financial assets andfinancial liabilities, which is managed and its performance is evaluated on a fair value basis, in accordance withthe documented risk management or investment strategy, and information about the grouping is reported to keymanagement personnel on that basis; (3) The qualified hybrid financial instrument combines financial liabilitywith embedded derivatives.

Held-for-trading financial liabilities are subsequently measured at fair value, and any gains or losses arising fromchanges in fair value and any dividend or interest income earned on the financial liabilities are recognized in profitor loss.

1 10.4 Classification of financial liabilities and equity instruments - continued

10.4.1 Classification, recognition and measurement of financial liabilities - continued

10.4.1.1 Financial liabilities at FVTPL - continued

The amount of change in the fair value of the financial liability that is attributable to changes in the credit risk ofthat liability shall be presented in other comprehensive income, and upon the derecognition of such liability, theaccumulated amount of change in fair value that is attributable to changes in the credit risk of that liability, whichis recognized in other comprehensive income, is transferred to retained earnings. Other gains or losses arisingfrom changes in fair value and any dividend or interest income earned on the financial liabilities are recognizedin profit or loss. If the impact of the change in credit risk of such financial liability dealt with in the above waywould create or enlarge an accounting mismatch in profit or loss, the Group shall present all gains or losses onthat liability (including the effects of changes in the credit risk of that liability) in profit or loss.

10.4.1.2 Other financial liabilities

Other financial liabilities except for the financial liabilities arising from the transferred financial assets that do notqualify for derecognition or financial liabilities arising from continuing involvement in the transferred financialasset are classified as financial liabilities measured at amortized cost, and are subsequently measured at amortizedcost, with gain or loss arising from derecognition or amortization recognized in profit or loss.

If the Group modifies or renegotiates the contract with the counterparty and the financial liability subsequentlymeasured at amortized cost is not derecognized, but the cash flow of the contract changes, the Group shall re-calculate the carrying amount of the financial liability and recognize the relevant gains or losses in profit or lossof the period. The re-calculated carrying amount of the financial liability shall be determined by the Groupaccording to the cash flow of the renegotiated or modified contract based on the present value discounted at theoriginal effective interest rate of the financial liability. For all the costs or expenses arising from the modificationor renegotiation of the contract, the Group shall adjust the modified carrying amount of the financial liability andamortize them within the remaining term of the financial liability.

10.4.2 Derecognition of financial liabilities

The Group derecognizes a financial liability (or part of it) only when the underlying present obligation (or part ofit) is discharged. An agreement between the Group (an existing borrower) and an existing lender to replace theoriginal financial liability with a new financial liability with substantially different terms is accounted for as anextinguishment of the original financial liability and the recognition of a new financial liability.

When the Group derecognizes a financial liability or a part of it, it recognizes the difference between the carryingamount of the financial liability (or part of the financial liability) derecognized and the consideration paid(including any non-cash assets transferred or new financial liabilities assumed) in profit or loss.

10.4.3 Equity instruments

An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the Group after deductingall of its liabilities. Equity instruments issued (including refinanced), repurchased, sold and cancelled by theGroup are recognized as changes in equity. Change in fair value of equity instruments is not recognized by theGroup. Transaction costs related to equity transactions are deducted from equity.

The Group recognizes the distribution to holders of the equity instruments as distribution of profits, and dividendspaid do not affect total amount of shareholders' equity.

10.5 Derivatives and embedded derivatives

Derivative financial instruments include forward exchange contracts, resale option and early redemption optionfor convertible bonds, etc. Derivatives are initially measured at fair value at the date when the derivative contractsare entered into and are subsequently re-measured at fair value.

Derivatives embedded in hybrid contracts that contain financial asset hosts are not separated. The entire hybridcontract is classified and subsequently measured in its entirety as either amortized cost or fair value as appropriate.

If the host contract included in the hybrid contract is not a financial asset and meet all of the following criteria,the embedded derivative shall be separated from the hybrid contract by the Group and treated as a stand-alonederivative.

(1) The economic characteristics and risks of the embedded derivative are not highly related to the economic

characteristics and risks of the host contract;

(2) A separate instrument with the same terms as the embedded derivative would meet the definition of a

derivative; and

(3) The hybrid instrument is not designated as a financial asset or financial liability at fair value through profit

or loss.

If the embedded derivative is separated from the hybrid contract, the host contract shall be accounted for inaccordance with the applicable standards. If the Group is unable to measure reliably the fair value of an embeddedderivative on the basis of its terms and conditions, the fair value of the embedded derivative is the differencebetween the fair value of the hybrid contract and the fair value of the host contract. If the Group is still unable tomeasure the fair value of the embedded derivative separately either at acquisition or at a subsequent balance sheetdate after the above methods are applied, it designates the entire hybrid contract as a financial instrument at fairvalue through profit or loss.

10.6 Offsetting financial assets and financial liabilities

Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount is reported in the balance sheet if, and only if, theCompany has a current enforceable legal right to set off the recognized amounts and intends to settle on a netbasis, or to realize an asset and settle the liability simultaneously. In all other situations, they are presentedseparately in the balance sheet and are not offset.

10.7 Compound instruments

Convertible bonds issued by the Group that contain both the liability, the conversion option, the resale option andearly redemption option are classified separately into respective items on initial recognition. Conversion optionthat is settled by the exchange of a fixed amount of cash or another financial asset for a fixed number of theCompany's own equity instruments is an equity instrument. At the date of issue, the liability, resale optionderivatives and early redemption option derivatives are initially measured at fair value. The difference betweenthe gross proceeds of the issue of the convertible bonds and the fair value assigned to the liability, resale optionderivatives and early redemption option derivatives, representing the conversion option for the holder to convertthe bonds into equity instrument, is included in other equity instruments.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTSFOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022

(III) SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES - continued

10. Financial instruments - continued

10.7 Compound instruments - continued

In subsequent periods, the liability component of the convertible bonds is carried at amortized cost using theeffective interest method. The resale option derivatives and early redemption option derivatives are measured atfair value with changes in fair value recognized in profit or loss. The conversion option classified as equityinstruments remains in equity instruments. No gain or loss is recognized in profit or loss upon conversion orexpiration of the option.

Transaction costs incurred for the issue of the convertible bonds are allocated to the liability, equity instruments,resale option derivative components and early redemption option derivative components in proportion to theirrespective fair values. Transaction costs relating to the resale option derivative components and early redemptionoption are charged to profit or loss. Transaction costs relating to the liability component are included in thecarrying amount of the liability component and amortized over the period of the convertible loan notes using theeffective interest method. Transaction costs relating to the equity instruments component are charged directly toequity instruments.

11. Inventories

11.1 Categories of inventories

The Group's inventories mainly include raw materials, work in progress, finished goods, reusable materials, etc.Inventories are initially measured at cost. Cost of inventories comprises all costs of purchase, costs of conversionand other expenditures incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition.

11.2 Valuation method of inventories upon delivery

The actual cost of inventories upon delivery is calculated using the weighted average method.

11.3 Basis for determining net realizable value of inventories

At the balance sheet date, inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value. If the netrealizable value is below the cost of inventories, a provision for decline in value of inventories is made.

Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs ofcompletion, the estimated costs necessary to make the sale and relevant taxes. Net realizable value is determinedon the basis of clear evidence obtained, and takes into consideration the purposes of holding inventories and effectof post balance sheet events.

For large quantity and low value items of inventories, provision for decline in value is made based on categoriesof inventories. Provision for decline in value of other inventories is made based on the excess of cost of inventoryover its net realizable value on an item-by-item basis.

After the provision for decline in value of inventories is made, if the circumstances that previously causedinventories to be written down below cost no longer exist so that the net realizable value of inventories is higherthan their cost, the original provision for decline in value is reversed and the reversal is included in profit or lossfor the period.

11.4 Inventory count system

The perpetual inventory system is maintained for stock system.

11.5 Amortization method for other reusable materials

Other reusable materials are amortized using the multiple-stage amortization method.

12. Assets classified as held-for-sale

Non-current assets and disposal groups are classified as held for sale category when the Group recovers the bookvalue through a sale (including an exchange of non-monetary assets that has commercial substance) rather thancontinuing use.

Non-current assets or disposal groups classified as held for sale are required to satisfy the following conditions:

(1) the asset or disposal group is available for immediate sale in its present condition subject only to terms thatare usual and customary for sales of such asset or disposal group; (2) the sale is highly probable, i.e. the Grouphas made a resolution about selling plan and obtained a confirmed purchase commitment and the sale is expectedto be completed within one year.

The Group measures the no-current assets or disposal groups classified as held for sale at the lower of theircarrying amount and fair value less costs to sell. Where the carrying amount is higher than the net amount of fairvalue less costs to sell, the carrying amount should be reduced to the net amount of fair value less costs to sell,and such reduction is recognized in impairment loss of assets and included in profit or loss for the period.Meanwhile, provision for impairment of held-for-sale assets are made. When there is increase in the net amountof fair value of non-current assets held for sale less costs to sell at the balance sheet date, the original deductionshould be reversed in impairment loss of assets recognized after the classification of held-for-sale category, andthe reverse amount is include in profit or loss for the period. Losses of assets that are classified as held for saleare not reversed.

Non-current assets classified as held-for-sale or disposal groups are not depreciated or amortized, interest andother costs of liabilities of disposal group classified as held for sale continue to be recognized.

All or part of equity investments in an associate or joint venture are classified as held-for-sale assets. For the partthat is classified as held-for-sale, it is no longer accounted for using the equity method since the date of theclassification.

13. Long-term equity investments

13.1 Determination criteria of joint control and significant influence

Control is achieved when the Group has the power over the investee, is exposed or, has the rights to, variablereturns from its involvement with the investee; and has the ability to use its power to affect its return. Joint controlis the contractually agreed sharing of control over an economic activity, and exists only when the strategicfinancial and operating policy decisions relating to the activity require the unanimous consent of the partiessharing control. Significant influence is the power to participate in the financial and operating policy decisions ofthe investee but is not control or joint control over those policies. When determining whether an investingenterprise is able to exercise control or significant influence over an investee, the effect of potential voting rightsof the investee (for example, warrants and convertible debts) held by the investing enterprises or other parties thatare currently exercisable or convertible shall be considered.

13.2 Determination of initial investment cost

For a long-term equity investment acquired through business combination not involving enterprises undercommon control, the investment cost of the long-term equity investment is the cost of acquisition at the date ofcombination.

The expenses incurred by the acquirer or in respect of auditing, legal services, valuation and consultancy servicesand other associated administrative expenses attributable to the business combination are recognized in profit orloss when they are incurred.

Long-term equity investment acquired otherwise than through a business combination is initially measured at itscost. When the entity is able to exercise significant influence or joint control (but not control) over an investeedue to [additional investment], the cost of long-term equity investments is the sum of the fair value of previously-held equity investments determined in accordance with Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises No.22 -Financial Instruments; Recognition and Measurement (CAS 22) and the additional investment cost.

13.3 Subsequent measurement and recognition of profit or loss

13.3.1 Long-term equity investment accounted for using the cost method

The Company's separate financial statements adopted cost method to account for the long-term equity investmentsof subsidiaries. A subsidiary is an investee that is controlled by the Group.

Under the cost method, a long-term equity investment is measured at initial investment cost. When additionalinvestment is made or the investment is recouped, the cost of the long-term equity investment is adjustedaccordingly. Investment income is recognized in the period in accordance with the attributable share of cashdividends or profit distributions declared by the investee.

13.3.2 Long-term equity investment accounted for using the equity method - continued

13.3.2 Long-term equity investment accounted for using the equity method

The Group accounts for investment in associates and joint ventures using the equity method. An associate is anentity over which the Group has significant influence and a joint venture is an entity over which the Groupexercises joint control along with other investors.

Under the equity method, where the initial investment cost of a long-term equity investment exceeds the Group'sshare of the fair value of the investee's identifiable net assets at the time of acquisition, no adjustment is made tothe initial investment cost. Where the initial investment cost is less than the Group's share of the fair value of theinvestee's identifiable net assets at the time of acquisition, the difference is recognized in profit or loss for theperiod, and the cost of the long-term equity investment is adjusted accordingly.

13. Long-term equity investments - continued

13.3 Subsequent measurement and recognition of profit or loss - continued

Under the equity method, the Group recognizes its share of the net profit or loss and other comprehensive incomeof the investee for the period as investment income and other comprehensive income for the period. Meanwhile,carrying amount of long-term equity investment is adjusted: the carrying amount of long-term equity investmentis decreased in accordance with its share of the investee's declared profit or cash dividends; Other changes inowners' equity of the investee other than net profit or loss and other comprehensive income are correspondinglyadjusted to the carrying amount of the long-term equity investment, and recognized in the capital reserve. TheGroup recognizes its share of the investee's net profit or loss based on the fair value of the investee's individualidentifiable assets, etc. at the acquisition date after making appropriate adjustments. When the investors'accounting policies and accounting period are inconsistent with those of the Company, the Company recognizesinvestment income and other comprehensive income after making appropriate adjustments to conform to theCompany's accounting policies and accounting period. However, unrealized gains or losses resulting from theGroup's transactions with its associates and joint ventures, which do not constitute a business, are eliminatedbased on the proportion attributable to the Group and then investment gains or losses or is recognized. However,unrealized losses are not eliminated if they result from the Group's transactions with its associates and jointventures which represent impairment losses on the transferred assets.

The Group discontinues recognizing its share of net losses of the investee after the carrying amount of the long-term equity investment together with any long-term interests that in substance form part of its net investment inthe investee is reduced to zero. If the Group has incurred obligations to assume additional losses of the investee,a provision is recognized according to the expected obligation, and recorded as investment loss for the period.Where net profits are subsequently made by the investee, the Group resumes recognizing its share of those profitsonly after its share of the profits exceeds the share of losses previously not recognized.

13.4 Disposal of long-term equity investments

On disposal of a long term equity investment, the difference between the proceeds actually received and receivableand the carrying amount is recognized in profit or loss for the period.

14. Fixed assets

14.1 Recognition criteria for fixed assets

Fixed assets are tangible assets that are held for use in the production or supply of goods or services, for rental toothers, or for administrative purposes, and have useful lives of more than one accounting year. A fixed asset isrecognized only when it is probable that economic benefits associated with the asset will flow to the Group andthe cost of the asset can be measured reliably. Fixed assets are initially measured at cost.

Subsequent expenditures incurred for the fixed asset are included in the cost of the fixed asset and if it is probablethat economic benefits associated with the asset will flow to the Group and the subsequent expenditures can bemeasured reliably. Meanwhile the carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognized. Other subsequentexpenditures are recognized in profit or loss in the period in which they are incurred.

14.2 Depreciation method

A fixed asset is depreciated over its useful life using the straight-line method since the month subsequent to theone in which it is ready for intended use.

(III) SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES - continued

14. Fixed assets - continued

14.2 Depreciation method - continued

The useful life, estimated net residual value rate and annual depreciation rate of each category of fixed assets areas follows:

CategoryDepreciation period (years)Residual value rate (%)Annual depreciation rate (%)
Buildings12-35 years-2.86-8.33
Machinery and equipment3-8 years-12.50-33.33
Transportation vehicles2-6 years-16.67-50.00
Electronic equipment, fixtures and furniture3-10 years-10.00-33.33
Decoration costs3-10 years-10.00-33.33

Estimated net residual value of a fixed asset is the estimated amount that the Group would currently obtain fromdisposal of the asset, after deducting the estimated costs of disposal, if the asset were already of the age and in thecondition expected at the end of its useful life.

14.3 Other descriptions

If a fixed asset is upon disposal or no future economic benefits are expected to be generated from its use ordisposal, the fixed asset is derecognized. When a fixed asset is sold, transferred, retired or damaged, the amountof any proceeds on disposal of the asset net of the carrying amount and related taxes is recognized in profit or lossfor the period.

The Group reviews the useful life and estimated net residual value of a fixed asset and the depreciation methodapplied at least once at each financial year-end, and account for any change as a change in an accounting estimate.

15. Construction in progress

Construction in progress is measured at its actual costs. The actual costs include various construction expendituresduring the construction period, borrowing costs capitalized before it is ready for intended use and other relevantcosts. Construction in progress is not depreciated. Construction in progress is transferred to a fixed asset when itis ready for intended use.

16. Borrowing costs

Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of qualifying asset arecapitalized when expenditures for such asset and borrowing costs are incurred and activities relating to theacquisition, construction or production of the asset that are necessary to prepare the asset for its intended use orsale have commenced. Capitalization of borrowing costs ceases when the qualifying asset being acquired,constructed or produced becomes ready for its intended use or sale. Other borrowing costs are recognized as anexpense in the period in which they are incurred.

Where funds are borrowed under a specific-purpose borrowing, the amount of interest to be capitalized is theactual interest expense incurred on that borrowing for the period less any bank interest earned from depositingthe borrowed funds before being used on the asset or any investment income on the temporary investment of thosefunds. Where funds are borrowed under general-purpose borrowings, the Group determines the amount of interestto be capitalized on such borrowings by applying a capitalization rate to the weighted average of the excess ofcumulative expenditures on the asset over the amounts of specific-purpose borrowings. The capitalization rate isthe weighted average of the interest rates applicable to the general-purpose borrowings.

17. Intangible asset

17.1 Valuation method, useful life and impairment test of intangible assets

Intangible assets include software, patents, trademarks, land use rights and customer relations, etc.

An intangible asset is measured initially at cost. When an intangible asset with a finite useful life is available foruse, its original is amortized over its estimated useful life using the straight-line method. An intangible asset withan indefinite useful life is not amortized.

The amortization methods, useful lives, and estimated net residual value rates of each class of fixed assets are asfollows:

17.1 Valuation method, useful life and impairment test of intangible assets - continued

CategoryAmortization methodUseful life (Years)Residual value rate (%)
Land Use RightsStraight-line method50 years-
SoftwareStraight-line method3-10 years-
PatentsStraight-line method3-20 years-
TrademarksStraight-line method10 years-
Customer relationStraight-line method16 years-

For an intangible asset with a finite useful life, the Group reviews the useful life and amortization method at theend of the year, and makes adjustments when necessary.

For the impairment test of intangible assets, see Notes (III), 18 for details.

17.2 Accounting policies on research and development expenditure

Expenditure during the research phase is recognized as an expense in the period in which it is incurred.

Expenditure during the development phase that meets all of the following conditions at the same time isrecognized as intangible asset. Expenditure during development phase that does not meet the following conditionsis recognized in profit or loss for the period.

(1) It is technically feasible to complete the intangible asset so that it will be available for use or sale;

(2) The Group has the intention to complete the intangible asset and use or sell it;

(3) The Group can demonstrate the ways in which the intangible asset will generate economic benefits,

including the evidence of the existence of a market for the output of the intangible asset or the intangibleasset itself or, if it is to be used internally, the usefulness of the intangible asset;

(4) The availability of adequate technical, financial and other resources to complete the development and theability to use or sell the intangible asset; and

(5) The expenditure attributable to the intangible asset during its development phase can be reliably measured.

If the expenditures cannot be distinguished between the research phase and development phase, the Grouprecognizes all of them in profit or loss for the period. The cost of intangible assets formed in internal developmentactivities only includes the total amount of expenditures from the time point when the capitalization conditionsare met to the time when the intangible assets reach the predetermined uses. For the same intangible asset, theexpenditures that have been expensed into profit and loss before the capitalization conditions are met in thedevelopment process will not be adjusted.

18. Impairment of long-term assets

The Group reviews the long-term equity investments, fixed assets, construction in progress, and intangible assetswith a finite useful life at each balance sheet date to determine whether there is any indication that they havesuffered an impairment loss. If an impairment indication exists, the recoverable amount is estimated. Intangibleassets not yet available for use are tested for impairment annually, irrespective of whether there is any indicationthat the assets may be impaired.

Recoverable amount is estimated on individual basis. If it is not practical to estimate the recoverable amount ofan individual asset, the recoverable amount of the asset group to which the asset belongs will be estimated. Therecoverable amount of an asset or asset group is the higher of its fair value less costs of disposal and the presentvalue of the future cash flows expected to be derived from the asset.

If such recoverable amount is less than its carrying amount, a provision for impairment losses in respect of thedeficit is recognized in profit or loss for the period.

Goodwill is tested for impairment at least at the end of each year. For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwillis considered together with the related assets group(s), i.e., goodwill is reasonably allocated to the related assetsgroup(s) or each of assets group(s) expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination. An impairment lossis recognized if the recoverable amount of the assets group or sets of assets groups (including goodwill) is lessthan its carrying amount. The impairment loss is firstly allocated to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwillallocated to such assets group or sets of assets groups, and then to the other assets of the group on the pro-ratabasis of the carrying amount of each asset (other than goodwill) in the group.

Once an impairment loss of assets above is recognized, it will not be reversed in any subsequent period.

Except for impairment loss of assets related to contract costs, once an impairment loss of assets above isrecognized, it will not be reversed in any subsequent period. The Group shall recognize in profit or loss a reversalof an impairment loss previously recognized when the impairment conditions have changed. The reversedcarrying amount of the asset at the reversal date shall not exceed the amount that would have been determined ifno impairment loss had been recognized previously.

19. Long-term prepaid expenses

Long-term prepaid expenses represent expenses incurred that should be borne and amortized over the current andsubsequent periods (together of more than one year). Long-term prepaid expenses are amortized using the straight-line method over the expected periods in which benefits are derived.

20. Contract liabilities

A contract liability represents the Group's obligation to transfer goods or services to a customer for which theGroup has received consideration (or an amount of consideration is due) from the customer.

21. Employee benefits

21.1 Accounting treatment of short-term benefits

Actually occurred short-term employee benefits are recognized as liabilities, with a corresponding charge to theprofit or loss for the period or in the costs of relevant assets in the accounting period in which employees provideservices to the Group. Staff welfare expenses incurred by the Group are recognized in profit or loss for the periodor the costs of relevant assets based on the actually occurred amounts when it actually occurred. Non-monetarystaff welfare expenses are measured at fair value.

Payment made by the Group of social security contributions for employees such as premiums or contributions onmedical insurance, work injury insurance and maternity insurance, etc. and payments of housing funds, as wellas trade union fund and employee education fund provided in accordance with relevant requirements, arecalculated according to prescribed bases and percentages in determining the amount of employee benefits andrecognized as relevant liabilities, with a corresponding charge to the profit or loss for the period or the costs ofrelevant assets in the accounting period in which employees provide services.

21.2 Accounting treatment of post-employment benefits

Post-employment benefits are classified into defined contribution plans and defined benefit plans.

During the accounting period of rendering service to employees of the Group, amount which should be paidaccording to defined contribution plans is recognized as liabilities, and recognized in profit or loss or related costsof assets.

For defined benefit plans, the Group calculates defined benefit plan obligations using projected unit credit methodand the service cost resulting from employee service in the current period is recorded in profit or loss or the costof relevant assets. Defined benefit costs are categorized as follows:

? service cost (including current service cost, past service cost, as well as gains and losses on settlements);? net interest of net liabilities or assets of defined benefit plan(including interest income of planned assets,

interest expenses of defined benefit plan obligations and effect of asset ceiling); and? Changes arising from re-measurement of net liabilities or net assets of defined benefit plans

Service costs and net interest of net liabilities and net assets of defined benefit plans are recognized in profit orloss of current period or costs of related assets. Re-measurements of the net defined benefit liability (asset)(including actuarial gains and losses, the return on plan assets, excluding amounts included in net interest on thenet defined benefit liability (asset), and any change in the effect of the asset ceiling, excluding amounts includedin net interest on the net defined benefit liability (asset)) are recognized in other comprehensive income.

Deficit or surplus from present value of obligation of defined benefit plans less fair value of planned asset ofdefined benefit plans are recognized as net liabilities or net assets of a defined benefit plan.

21.3 Accounting treatment of termination benefits

A liability for a termination benefit is recognized in profit or loss for the period at the earlier of when the Groupcannot unilaterally withdraw from the termination plan or the redundancy offer and when the Group recognizesany related restructuring costs or expenses.

22. Provisions

Provisions are recognized when the Group has a present obligation related to a contingency such as productsquality assurance, it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation, andthe amount of the obligation can be measured reliably

The amount recognized as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the presentobligation at the balance sheet date, taking into account factors pertaining to a contingency such as the risks,uncertainties and time value of money. Where the effect of the time value of money is material, the amount of theprovision is determined by discounting the related future cash outflows.

23. Share-based payments

A share-based payment is a transaction which the Group grants equity instruments, or incurs liabilities for amountsthat are determined based on the price of equity instruments, in return for services rendered by employees. TheGroup's share-based payments include equity-settled share-based payments and cash-settled share-basedpayments.

23.1 Equity-settled share-based payments

Equity-settled share-based payments granted to employees

Equity-settled share-based payments in exchange for services rendered by employees are measured at the fairvalue of the equity instruments granted to employees at the grant date. Such amount is recognized as related costsor expenses on a straight-line basis over the vesting period, based on the best estimate of the number of equityinstruments expected to vest, with a corresponding increase in capital reserve.

23.2 Accounting treatment related to implementation, modification and termination of share-based paymentarrangement

At each balance sheet date during the vesting period, the Group makes the best estimate according to thesubsequent latest information of change in the number of employees who are granted with options that may vest,etc. and revises the number of equity instruments expected to vest. The effect of the above estimate is recognizedas related costs or expenses, with a corresponding adjustment to capital reserve.

In case the Group modifies a share-based payment arrangement, if the modification increases the fair value of theequity instruments granted, the Group will include the incremental fair value of the equity instruments granted inthe measurement of the amount recognized for services received. If the modification increases the number of theequity instruments granted, the Group will include the fair value of additional equity instruments granted in themeasurement of the amount recognized for services received. The increase in the fair value of the equityinstruments granted is the difference between fair value of the equity instruments before and after the modificationon the date of the modification. If the Group modifies the terms or conditions of the share-based paymentarrangement in a manner that reduces the total fair value of the share-based payment arrangement, or is nototherwise beneficial to the employee, the Group will continue to account for the services received as if thatmodification had not occurred (other than a cancellation of some or all of the equity instruments granted).

If cancellation of the equity instruments granted occurs during the vesting period, the Group will account for thecancellation of the equity instruments granted as an acceleration of vesting, and recognize immediately the amountthat otherwise would have been recognized over the remainder of the vesting period in profit or loss for the period,with a corresponding recognition in capital reserve. When the employee or counterparty can choose whether tomeet the non-vesting condition but the condition is not met during the vesting period, the Group treats it as acancellation of the equity instruments granted.

24. Revenue

The revenue of the Group mainly comes from the sales of electronic products. The products sold by the Groupmainly include communication products, consumer electronic products, cloud and storage products, industrialproducts, automotive electronic products, medical products and other products. Other operating income is mainlywaste sales income.

When (or as) a performance obligation in a contract is satisfied, i.e., when (or as) the customer obtains control ofrelevant goods or services, the Group recognizes as revenue the amount of the transaction price that is allocatedto that performance obligation. A performance obligation is the Group's promise to transfer to a customer a goodor service (or a bundle of goods or services) that is distinct, in a contract with the customer. The transaction priceis the amount of consideration to which the Group expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring promisedgoods or services to a customer, excluding amounts collected on behalf of third parties and amounts that the Groupexpects to refund to the customer.

If there are two or more of performance obligations included in the contract, at the contract inception, the Groupallocates the transaction price to each single performance obligation based on the proportion of stand-alone sellingprice of goods or services promised in each stand-alone performance obligation. However, if there is conclusiveevidence indicating that the contract discount or variable consideration is only relative with one or more (not thewhole) performance obligations in the contract, the Group will allocate the contract discount or variableconsideration to relative one or more performance obligation. Stand-alone selling price refers to the price of singlesales of goods or services. If the stand-alone selling price cannot be observed directly, the Group estimates thestand-alone selling price through comprehensive consideration of all reasonably acquired relative information andmaximum use of observable inputs.

For contracts that contain variable consideration, the Group estimates the amount of consideration to which it willbe entitled using either (a) the expected value method or (b) the most likely amount. The estimated amount ofvariable consideration is included in the transaction price only to the extent that it is highly probable that such aninclusion will not result in a significant revenue reversal in the future when the uncertainty associated with thevariable consideration is subsequently resolved. At each balance sheet date, the Group updates the estimatedtransaction price.

For sales with sales return terms attached, as the customer obtains ownership of related goods, the Grouprecognizes revenue in accordance with the consideration (excluding expected refund amounts due to sales returns)that the Group is expected to charge due to the transfer of goods to the customer, and recognizes liabilities inaccordance with expected refund amounts due to sales returns. Meanwhile, the carrying amount at the time oftransfer of goods expected to be returned, subsequent to deduction of expected costs from collecting the goods(including the decrease in value of the returned goods), is recognized as an asset and carried forward to cost atthe carrying amount at which goods are transferred, net of the cost of asset.

For sales with warranties, if the warranties are separate services to the customer other than serving as an assurancethat the products sold comply with agreed-upon specifications, the warranties constitute single performanceobligations. Otherwise, the Group accounts for warranties in accordance with the Accounting Standards forBusiness Enterprises No. 13 – Contingencies (ASBE No.13).

24. Revenue - continued

The Group determines whether it is a principal or an agent at the time of the transaction based on whether it ownsthe "control" of the goods or services before the transfer of such goods or services to the customer. The Group isa principal if it controls the specified good or service before that good or service is transferred to a customer, andthe revenue shall be recognized based on the total consideration received or receivable; otherwise, the Group isan agent, and the revenue shall be recognized based on the amount of commission or handling fee that is expectedto be charged, and such amount is determined based on the net amount of the total consideration received orreceivable after deducting the prices payable to other related parties or according to the established commissionamount.

Where payment is received in advance, the advance payment received shall be recorded as a liability andrecognized as revenue when the relevant performance obligation is satisfied.

25. Contract costs

Costs of obtaining a contract

If the incremental costs (costs that will not occur if no contract obtained) incurred for obtaining the contract areexpected to be recovered, the Company recognizes it as an asset and the asset shall be amortized on a basis thatis consistent with the transfer to the customer of the goods or services to which the asset relates and recognizedin profit or loss for the period. If the amortization period of the asset does not exceed one year, it is recognized inprofit or loss for the period in which it occurs. Other expenses incurred by the Company for obtaining the contractare recognized in profit or loss for the period in which it occurs, except as expressly borne by the customer.

Costs to fulfill a contract

If the costs incurred in fulfilling a contract are not within the scope of any standards other than Revenue Standards,the Group recognizes an inventory from the costs incurred to fulfill a contract only if those costs meet all of thefollowing criteria: (1) the costs relate directly to a contract or to an anticipated contract that the Group canspecifically identify; (2) the costs generate or enhance resources of the Group that will be used in satisfyingperformance obligations in the future; and (3) the costs are expected to be recovered. The asset mentioned aboveshall be amortized on a basis that is consistent with the revenue recognition of the goods or services to which theasset relates and recognized in profit or loss for the period.

26. Government grants

Government grants are monetary assets and non-monetary assets from the government to the Group at noconsideration. A government grant is recognized only when the Group can comply with the conditions attachingto the grant and the Group will receive the grant.

If a government grant is in the form of a transfer of a monetary asset, it is measured at the amount received orreceivable. If a government grant is in the form of a non-monetary asset, it is measured at fair value. If the fairvalue cannot be reliably determined, it is measured at a nominal amount. A government grant measured at anominal amount is recognized immediately in profit or loss for the period.

26.1 Determination basis and accounting treatment of government grants related to assets

See Notes (V), 37 for details of the Group's government grants related to assets.

A government grant related to an asset is recognized as deferred income and included in profit or loss over theuseful life of the related asset with the straight-line method.

26.2 Determination basis and accounting treatment of government grants related to income

See Notes (V), 52 for details of the Group's government grants related to income. The Group classifiesgovernment grants that are difficult to be distinguished as government grants related to income aggregately.

For a government grant related to income, if the grant is a compensation for related expenses or losses to beincurred in subsequent periods, the grant is recognized as deferred income over the periods in which the relatedcosts or losses are recognized; If the grant is a compensation for related expenses or losses already incurred, thegrant is recognized immediately in profit or loss.

A government grant related to the Group's daily activities is recognized in other income based on the nature ofeconomic activities; a government grant not related to the Group's daily activities is recognized in non-operatingincome and expenses.

27. Deferred tax assets/ deferred tax liabilities

The income tax expenses include current income tax and deferred income tax.

27.1 Current income tax

At the balance sheet date, current income tax liabilities (or assets) for the current and prior periods are measuredat the amount expected to be paid (or recovered) according to the requirements of tax laws.

27.2 Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities

For temporary differences between the carrying amounts of certain assets or liabilities and their tax base, orbetween the carrying amount of those items that are not recognized as assets or liabilities and their tax base thatcan be determined according to tax laws, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized using the balance sheetliability method.

Deferred tax is generally recognized for all temporary differences. Deferred tax assets for deductible temporarydifferences are recognized to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which thedeductible temporary differences can be utilized. However, for temporary differences associated with the initialrecognition of goodwill and the initial recognition of an asset or liability arising from a transaction (not a businesscombination) that affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profits (or deductible losses) at the time oftransaction, no deferred tax asset or liability is recognized.

27.2 Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities - continued

For deductible losses and tax credits that can be carried forward, deferred tax assets are recognized to the extentthat it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the deductible losses and tax creditscan be utilized.

Deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences associated with investments insubsidiaries and associates, and interests in joint ventures, except where the Group is able to control the timing ofthe reversal of the temporary difference and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in theforeseeable future. Deferred tax assets arising from deductible temporary differences associated with suchinvestments and interests are only recognized to the extent that it is probable that there will be taxable profitsagainst which to utilize the benefits of the temporary differences and they are expected to reverse in theforeseeable future.

At the balance sheet date, deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates, according to tax laws,that are expected to apply in the period in which the asset is realized or the liability is settled.

Current and deferred tax expenses or income are recognized in profit or loss for the period, except when they arisefrom transactions or events that are directly recognized in other comprehensive income or in shareholders' equity,in which case they are recognized in other comprehensive income or in shareholders' equity; and when they arisefrom business combinations, in which case they adjust the carrying amount of goodwill.

At the balance sheet date, the carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed and reduced if it is no longerprobable that sufficient taxable profits will be available in the future to allow the benefit of deferred tax assets tobe utilized. Such reduction in amount is reversed when it becomes probable that sufficient taxable profits will beavailable.

27.3 Income tax offsetting

When the Group has a legal right to settle on a net basis and intends either to settle on a net basis or to realize theassets and settle the liabilities simultaneously, current tax assets and current tax liabilities are offset and presentedon a net basis.

When the Group has a legal right to settle current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis, and deferred tax assetsand deferred tax liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on either the same taxableentity or different taxable entities which intend either to settle current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis or torealize the assets and liabilities simultaneously, in each future period in which significant amounts of deferred taxassets or liabilities are expected to be reversed, deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset andpresented on a net basis.

28. Leases

Lease is a contract that conveys the right to use an asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration.

For contracts that are signed or modified after the date of initial application, at inception/modification of thecontracts, the Group assesses whether the contract is, or contains, a lease. Unless the terms and conditions of thecontract are changed, the Group does not reassess whether a contract is, or contains, a lease.

28.1 The Group as Lessee

28.1.1 Right-of-use assets

Except for short-term leases and leases for which the underlying asset is of low value, at the commencement dateof the lease, the Group recognizes a right-of-use assets. The commencement date of the lease is the date on whicha lessor makes an underlying asset available for use by the Group. The Group measures the right-of-use assets atcost. The cost of the right-of-use assets comprises:

? the amount of the initial measurement of the lease liabilities;? any lease payments made at or before the commencement date, less any lease incentives;? any initial direct costs incurred by the Group;? an estimate of costs to be incurred by the lessee in dismantling and removing the underlying asset, restoring

the site on which it is located or restoring the underlying asset to the condition required by the terms andconditions of the lease.

Right-of-use assets are depreciated by the Group in accordance with the ASBE No.4 Fixed Assets. If the Groupis reasonably certain, that the lease will transfer ownership of the underlying asset to the Group by the end of thelease term, the right-of-use assets is depreciated from the commencement date to the end of the useful life of theunderlying asset. Otherwise, the right-of-use assets is depreciated from the commencement date to the earlier ofthe end of the useful life of the right-of-use assets or the end of the lease term.

The Group applies ASBE No. 8 Impairment of Assets, to determine whether the right-of-use assets are impairedand perform accounting treatment to identified impairment loss.

28.1.2 Lease liabilities

Except for short-term leases and leases for which the underlying asset is of low value, at the commencement dateof the lease, the Group measures the lease liabilities at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid atthat date. If the interest rate implicit in the lease cannot be readily determined, the lessee shall use the lessee'sincremental borrowing rate.

The lease payments comprise the following payments by the Group for the right to use the underlying asset duringthe lease term:

(1) Fixed payments (including in-substance fixed payments), less any lease incentives;

(2) The exercise price of a purchase option if the Group is reasonably certain to exercise that option;

(3) Payments for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects the Group exercising an option to terminatethe lease;

(4) Amounts expected to be payable by the Group under residual value guarantees.

28.1 The Group as Lessee - continued

28.1.2 Lease liabilities - continued

After the lease commencement date, interest expenses on lease liabilities in each period during the lease term arerecognized by the Group by using the fixed periodic rate of interest, and recognized in profit or loss or relatedcosts of assets.

After the lease commencement date, the Group re-measures lease liabilities and makes a correspondingadjustment to the related right-of-use assets in case of the following conditions. Where the carrying amount of theright-of-use assets has been reduced to zero and the lease liabilities still need to be reduced, the deficit isrecognized in profit or loss:

? there is a change in the lease term, or in the assessment of an option to purchase the underlying asset, the Groupre-measures the lease liabilities, on the basis of the revised lease term and the revised discount rate;? there is a change in the amounts expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee, or in future leasepayments resulting from a change in an index or a rate used to determine those payments, the Group re-measuresthe lease liabilities, on the basis of the revised lease payments and the unchanged discount rate.

28.1.3 Short-term leases and leases of low-value assets

For short-term leases of machinery and equipment and leases of low-value assets to which the recognitionexemption is applied by the Group, right-of-use assets and lease liabilities are not recognized. A short-term leaserefers to a lease that, at the commencement date, has a lease term of 12 months or less and do not contain apurchase option. A lease of low value asset refers to a single lease asset, when new, is of low value. Leasepayments on short-term leases and leases of low-value assets are recognized in profit or loss or the cost ofunderlying assets on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

28.1.4 Lease modifications

A lease modification should be accounted for as a separate lease if both of the following apply:

? the modification increases the scope of the lease by adding the right to use one or more underlying assets;

and? the consideration for the lease increases by an amount commensurate with the stand-alone price for theincrease in scope and any appropriate adjustments to that stand-alone price according to the circumstancesof the particular contract

For a lease medication that is not accounted for as a separate lease, at the effective date of the lease modification,the Group should allocate the consideration in the modified contract, determine the lease term of the modifiedlease and remeasure the lease liability by discounting the revised payments using a revised discount rate.

For lease modifications that decrease the scope of the lease or narrow the term of the lease, the Group shoulddecrease the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset with any gain or loss relating to the partial or full terminationof the lease should be recognized in profit or loss. For remeasurement of lease liabilities from all other leasemodifications, a corresponding adjustment is made to the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset.

28.2 The Group as Lessor

28.2.1 Classification of leases

Leases are classified as finance leases whenever the terms of the lease transfer substantially all the risks andrewards of ownership. All other leases are classified as operating leases.

28.2.1.1 The Group as lessor under operating leases

The Group recognizes lease payments from operating leases as income on a straight-line basis. The Groupcapitalizes initial direct costs incurred in obtaining an operating lease and recognizes those costs as an expenseover the lease term on the same basis as the lease income.

28.2.2 Subleases

As a lessor of the sublease, the Group accounts for the original lease contract and the sublease contract as twoseparate contracts. The Group classifies the subleases based on the right-of-use assets generating from the originallease rather than the underlying assets of the original lease.

29. Hedge accounting

29.1. Basis for using hedge accounting and accounting treatment method

Certain financial instruments are used as hedging instruments by the Group for the purpose of managing the riskexposure arising from specific risk, such as exchange rate risk, etc. The Group applies hedging accounting for ahedge that satisfies the prescribed conditions. Hedging activities of the Group include hedges of net investmentin foreign operations.

At the inception of hedging, the Group officially designated hedging instruments and hedged items, and preparedwritten documents recording the nature of hedging instruments, hedged items, hedged risks, and hedgeeffectiveness evaluation methods (including the analysis of the causes of invalid hedges and methods to determinethe hedge ratio).

The Group will discontinue hedge accounting when one of the following conditions occurs:

? Due to changes in risk management objectives, the hedging relationship no longer meets the riskmanagement objectives.? The hedging instrument expires, or is sold, terminated or exercised.? There is no longer an economic relationship between the hedged item and the hedging instruments, or in

the changes of the value arising from the economic relationship between the hedged item and the hedginginstrument, the impact of credit risk begins to dominate.? The hedging relationship no longer meets other conditions for using the hedge accounting methods.

Hedges of net investments in foreign operations are accounted for similarly to cash flow hedges. Any gain or losson the hedging instrument relating to the effective portion of the hedge is recognized in other comprehensiveincome. The gain or loss relating to the ineffective portion is recognized immediately in profit or loss.

When disposing of all or part of foreign operations, the profits or losses of the above hedging instruments includedin other comprehensive income shall be reclassified in the current profits and losses.

29.2 Methods of assessing effectiveness of hedges

The Group continuously evaluates whether the hedging relationship meets the requirements of hedgingeffectiveness on and after the inception date of hedging. If the hedging meets the following conditions at the sametime, the Group will determine that the hedging relationship meets the requirements for hedging effectiveness:

? There is an economic relationship between hedged items and hedging instruments.? Among the value changes caused by the economic relationship between hedged items and hedging

instruments, the impact of credit risk does not dominate.? The hedging ratio of the hedging relationship will be equal to the ratio of the actual number of the Group's

hedging items to the actual number of hedging instruments.

If the hedging relationship no longer meets the requirement of hedging effectiveness due to the hedging ratio, butthe risk management objectives of the hedging relationship have not changed, the Group will rebalance thehedging relationship. The number of hedged items or hedging instruments in the hedging relationship is adjustedso that the hedging ratio meets the requirements of hedging effectiveness again.

30. Critical Judgments in Applying Accounting Policies and Key Assumptions and Uncertainties inAccounting Estimate

In the application of the Group's accounting policies, which are described in Note (III), the Group is required tomake judgments, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amounts of items in the financial statements thatcannot be measured accurately, due to the internal uncertainty of the operating activities. These judgments,estimates and assumptions are based on historical experiences of the Group's management as well as other factorsthat are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The aforementioned judgments, estimates and assumptions are reviewed regularly on a going concern basis. Theeffect of a change in accounting estimate is recognized in the period of the change, if the change affects that periodonly; or recognized in the period of the change and future periods, if the change affects both.

-Key assumptions and uncertainties in accounting estimates

At balance sheet date, the following are the key assumptions and uncertainties in accounting estimates, it isprobable that carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in future periods may be significantly adjusted:

Impairment of accounts receivable

The Group's accounts receivable arise from transactions under the Revenue Standards and contain no significantfinancing component. When evaluating the provision for ECL of the accounts receivable, the management needsto collect the existing information and use significant accounting estimates, as well as collect informationincluding historical bad debt records, default or delayed payment, as well as aging of accounts receivable andother factors to estimate and review the amount of lifetime ECL of the accounts receivable. As of 31 December2022, the balance of the Group's provision for credit losses of accounts receivable was RMB 20,564,388.62 (31December 2021: RMB 9,974,696.34).

30. Critical Judgments in Applying Accounting Policies and Key Assumptions and Uncertainties inAccounting Estimate - continued

Inventories

The Group makes provision for the decline in the value of inventory according to the difference between theinventory costs beyond its net realizable value. The recognition of the net realizable value of inventories requiresthe estimation of the expected sales in the future and the estimation of the costs, expenses and taxes to be incurred.The differences (if any) between the re-estimated value and the current estimate will impact the carrying amountof the inventories over the period in which the estimate is changed. As of 31 December 2022, the balance of theGroup's provision for the decline in the value of inventories was RMB159,032,019.03 (31 December 2021: RMB107,428,347.47).

Deferred tax assets

The benefit of the deferred tax assets may depend on the future taxable profits and the expected tax rate whenassociated deductible temporary differences is realized. If future taxable profits or actual tax rate is less thanexpected, the carrying amounts of deferred tax assets will be reduced and the reduction will be reversed to profitsor losses in the corresponding period. As of 31 December 2022, the Group had recognized the deferred tax assetsof RMB 367,993,139.04 (31 December 2021: RMB 324,056,763.90).

Impairment of goodwill

The Group determines whether goodwill is impaired at least on an annual basis. This requires an estimationof the present value of the future expected cash flows from the asset groups or set of asset groups to whichthe goodwill is allocated. Estimating the present value requires the Group to make an estimate of the expectedfuture cash flows from the asset groups or set of asset groups and also choose a suitable discount rate inorder to calculate the present value of those cash flows. When considering future cash flow and discount rate,changes in key assumptions such as the discount rate and long-term growth rate adopted by the Group mayhave significantly impacts on the present value of the future cash flow used in impairment testing.

Useful life and estimated net residual value of fixed assets

As disclosed in Note (III) 14, the Group reviews the useful life and estimated net residual value of a fixed assetat least once at each financial year-end. Both scientific and technological innovation and intense competitionwithin the industry significantly impact the estimation of useful life. The Group's management did not findanything that might shorten or extend the useful life of fixed assets of the Group or require changing the estimatednet residual value.

UGSI and USI, the Group's subsidiaries, provide retirement benefit plan for full-time regular employees hiredbefore 1 July 2005. The Group acquired FAFG in 2020. FAFG provides retirement benefit plan for its employees,which provides a pension for some employees who have worked for more than 10 years according to the workingyears and certain rate of their salaries in recent 10 years, and a pension for some employees who have worked formore than 2 years according to the working years and certain rate of their salaries in recent 12 months.

The defined benefit plans expose the Group to actuarial risks such as discount rate, future salary growth rate, etc.

The Group hired Towers Watson Business Management Consulting Co., Ltd. to estimate the present value ofretirement benefit plan of UGSI and USI by actuary in accordance with the projected unit credit method. Futuresalary growth rate and mortality rate are used to estimate the future cash outflows to recognize the present valueof the plan at a discounted rate which is determined in accordance with the market interest rate of high-qualitycorporate bonds at the balance sheet date. In countries where there is no market for such bonds, the market interestrate for government bonds (at the balance sheet date) shall be used. Since the Group's post-employment benefitobligations remain effective for 11 to 13 years, the discount rate is determined by reference to the bonds with asimilar duration to the post-employment benefit obligations. Therefore, the average interest rate for governmentbonds with a duration of 11 years or more is referenced. The Group recognizes liabilities based on the actuarialresult, with gains or losses arising from actuary recognized in other comprehensive income and not to be reversedto profit or loss in subsequent accounting periods. Past service cost is included in profit or loss for the period whenthe modification to the plan is made. And net interest is recognized as the amount of net liabilities or assets of thedefined benefit plan multiplying by an appropriate discount rate.

The following table lists the significant actuarial assumptions used by UGSI and USI in determining the presentvalue of the defined benefit plan obligations:

31/12/202231/12/2021
Discount rate1.80%0.75%
Future salary growth rate2.25%2.25%
Mortality rateAssumptions made based on the sixth Mortality Table in TaiwanAssumptions made based on the fifth Mortality Table in Taiwan

Sensitive analysis as below is based on reasonable changes of corresponding assumptions at the end of thereporting period (all other assumptions remain unchanged):

? When the discount rate is up (down) 0.5%, the present value of defined benefit plan obligations of UGSIand USI will be decreased by RMB 8,114,633.44 (increased by RMB 8,708,813.03) and RMB472,168.66(increased by RMB503,011.57 ), respectively.

? When the future salary growth rate is up (down) 0.5%, the present value of defined benefit plan

obligations of UGSI and USI will be increased by RMB 8,627,623.60 (decreased by RMB 8,119,849.52)and RMB 498,249.06 (decreased by RMB 472,622.23), respectively.

The Group hired Willis Towers Watson to estimate the present value of retirement benefit plan obligation ofFAFG by actuary in accordance with the projected unit credit method. Future salary growth rate is used to estimatethe future cash outflows to recognize the present value of the plan at a discounted rate.

The following table lists the significant actuarial assumptions used by FAFG in determining the present value ofthe defined benefit plan obligations:

31/12/202231/12/2021
Discount rate3.75%0.85%~0.93%
Future salary growth rate1.5%-2.25 %1%-2%
Mortality rateLife expectancy table of local National Bureau of StatisticsLife expectancy table of local National Bureau of Statistics

Sensitive analysis as below is based on reasonable changes of corresponding assumptions at the end of thereporting period (all other assumptions remain unchanged):

? When the discount rate is up (down) 0.5%, the present value of defined benefit plan obligations of FAFGwill be decreased by RMB 7,364,505.76 (increased by RMB 8,000,046.14 ).

? When the future salary growth rate is up (down) 0.5%, the present value of defined benefit planobligations of FAFG will be increased by RMB 2,291,681.90 (decreased by RMB 2,168,280.61).

As it is unlikely that an assumption can change in an isolated manner due to correlations among certainassumptions, the sensitivity analysis above may not reflect actual changes in present value of defined benefit plans.

In sensitivity analysis above, the method used to calculate net liabilities of defined benefit plans at the end of theperiod is the same with that used to recognize related liabilities in balance sheet.

Compared with previous years, methods and assumptions adopted to analyze sensitivity remain unchanged.

The Group adopts sensitivity analysis technique to analyze how the profit and loss for the period and shareholders'equity would have been affected by reasonably possible changes in the relevant risk variables. As it is unlikelythat risk variables will change in an isolated manner, and the interdependence among risk variables will havesignificant effect on the amount ultimately influenced by the changes in a single risk variable, the following arebased on the assumption that the change in each risk variable is on a stand-alone basis.

1.1.3. Other price risk

The price risk of the group mainly arises from trading equity instrument investment and other equity instrumentinvestment. The group reduces the price risk of equity instrument investment by holding a variety of equitysecurities portfolio.

30.2 Credit risk

As at 31 December 2022, the Group's maximum exposure to credit risk which will cause a financial loss to theGroup due to failure to discharge an obligation by the counterparties is arising from: cash and bank balances (Note(V). 1), held-for-trading financial assets (Note (V). 2), notes receivable (Note (V). 3), accounts receivable (Note(V). 4), other receivables (Note (V). 6), non-current assets due within one year (Note (V). 8), other current assets(Note (V). 9), long-term receivables (Note (V). 10), other non-current assets (Note (V). 21) and non-currentfinancial assets at FVTPL that are not included in the impairment assessment (Note (V). 13). As at the balancesheet date, the carrying amount of the Group's financial assets is its maximum exposure to credit risk.

In order to minimize the credit risk, the Group has delegated a team responsible for determination of credit limits,credit approvals and other monitoring procedures to ensure that follow-up action is taken to recover overdue debts.In addition, the Group reviews the recoverable amount of financial assets at each balance sheet date to ensure thatadequate provision for credit loss is made for relevant financial assets. In this regard, the management of theGroup considers that the Group's credit risk is significantly reduced.

The credit risk on cash and bank balances is limited because they are deposited with banks with high credit ratings.

As of December 31, 2022, the balance of bank acceptance bills held by the group was RMB45,627,553.57, ofwhich all issuing banks were banks with high credit rating. Therefore, the management of the Group believes thatthe credit risk of relevant bank acceptance bills is low.

As at 31 December 2022, the balance of accounts receivable of the Group's top 5 customers wasRMB 5,979,305,884.74 (31 December 2021: RMB 7,045,433,457.45), accounting for 53.68% (31 December2021: 56.50%) of the Group's accounts receivable. Except for that, the Group has no other significant credit riskexposures concentrated on a single financial asset or a portfolio of financial assets with similar characteristics.
