The wood pulp, which is the main raw material of theCompany’s products, relies highly on import. Affected by various factors, the price of imported pulp hit a newhigh in 2022. Coupled with rising energy prices, the production costs of household paper companies rosesignificantly. Therefore, the Company faced enormous operating pressure. As the pulp price has beendemonstrating a downward trend in the first half of 2023, the pressure of production costs will gradually ease.

During the reporting period, the Company recordedtotal revenue of RMB 4,685,080,565.59, up by 7.27%. Under the influence of high-priced pulp inventory and risingenergy prices, production costs of the Company rose sharply compared to the same period of the previous year.Coupled with factors such as fierce market competition, the gross profit margin also declined year-on-year.Moreover, the implementation of the 2022 Stock Option and Restricted Stock Incentive Plan increased theamortization of incentive costs, while the Company also increased R&D investments. During the reporting period,the Company posted a net profit attributable to shareholders of the listed company of RMB 84,490,174.46, a YoYdecrease of 62.88%.The price of imported pulp hit a record high again in 2022.

Risk analysis and control measures of derivative positions during the reporting period (including but not limited to market risks, liquidity risks, credit risks, operational risks and legal risks)Risk analysis: 1. Price fluctuation risk: Price fluctuations of underlying interest rates and exchange rates may lead to price changes of the financial derivatives, thereby causing losses; 2. Internal control risk: Derivative trading is highly specialized and complicated, which may result in risks arising from poor internal control; 3. Liquidity risk: Transaction may become unable to be completed due to insufficient market liquidity; 4. Performance risk: The derivative contract may become unable to be fulfilled at maturity, thereby leading to default risk; 5. Legal risk: Relevant laws and regulations may be changed or the counterparty may violate relevant laws and regulations such that the contract cannot be normally executed, causing losses to the Company. Control measures: 1. Select financial derivatives with strong liquidity and controllable risks for trading; 2. Derivative trading should follow the primary principle of hedging for risks caused by exchange rate fluctuations to the greatest extent; operation strategies will be adjusted in a timely manner according to market conditions, to better hedge risks; 3. Carefully choose the counterparty of the derivative trading; 4. Assign specified personnel to continuously monitor the derivative contracts who will report cases of great market fluctuations or increased risks or significant floating profits or losses to the management of the Company timely, so as to respond actively; 5. Only conduct derivative trading with qualified financial institutions such as large commercial risks, to avoid possible legal risks.

X. Risks Faced by the Company and Countermeasures

1. Risk of great fluctuations in pulp prices

Pulp is an international bulk raw material and its price is obviously affected by the world economic cycle. The pulpprice has surged in 2022 under the impact of major international events such as the conflict between Russia andUkraine, the European energy crisis, and volatile geopolitical relations. Pulp is the primary raw material of theCompany’s production, accounting for 40%-60% of the total production costs. Therefore, substantial fluctuationsin pulp prices pose a risk to the Company.The Company is equipped with a professional procurement team which, on the premise of ensuring normalproduction inventory, adjusts the purchase rhythm by professionally evaluating the future trend of pump boards andcoordinating the market conditions of international pulp prices. The Company has cemented long-term supplycontracts with pulp suppliers that have large production scale, abundant forest resources and advanced productiontechnologies to ensure stable raw material procurement. It has established a global procurement network withpurchases in Europe, North America, South America, etc.

2. Risk of exchange rate fluctuation

The import of machinery equipment and pulp and the export of products to overseas market of the Company aremainly settled in USD, HKD, and EUR. Since exchange rates fluctuate under the impact of the internationaleconomic situation, the Company faces exchange rate risks.The Company pays close attention to changes in the foreign exchange market on a daily basis and hedges againstexchange losses brought by RMB depreciation or two-way fluctuations by adjusting the structure of foreigncurrency assets and liabilities and reducing overall foreign currency liabilities. In addition, the Company started toadopt the spot selling rate accounting for foreign currency transactions since 2015 in accordance with its actualneeds and in compliance with foreign exchange requirements. In this way, the Company may choose to buy foreigncurrency and pay for the goods at a rate favorable to the Company at an appropriate time. Furthermore, the Companyhedges against and avoids exchange rate risks via centralized management of foreign exchange funds, purchasepayment hedging, etc. based on changes in the foreign exchange market and actual development of the Company.With regard to exchange rate risk exposure, the Company also uses hedging and other financial tools to conductreasonable risk management.

3. Risk of regional market competition

Household paper is a vast market in China in terms of both geography and market space. Given the low unit value,transportation expenses taking up a large part of the sales price, and limitations of the transportation radius, the maincompetition in the household paper industry lies in regional markets. High-end, mid-end, and low-end productscompete in regional markets, with the influence of spending power and consumption habit. Judging from thedevelopment trend of the industry, mid- and high-end household paper of national brands has more competitiveedge. However, at present, some regional brands have an advantage in some regional markets. Compared withoverseas counterparts, China’s household paper industry requires continued integration. The Company embracesproduction bases and a sales network across the country and offers mid- and high-end products under national brands.Nevertheless, it is inescapable from the risk of regional market competition.After years of development, the Company has become one of the leading companies in the domestic householdpaper industry. It has built a marketing network covering most prefecture (county) level cities and a production basewith national presence. As a result, transportation costs can be effectively reduced and transportation efficiencyeffectively improved by shorting the distance with consumers. As the Company continues to deepen and expandsales channels, it will gradually cover untapped outlets. In the future, in response to market competition, theCompany will strengthen channel sinking, increase market penetration, further expand its scale, and further improveits overall market competitiveness and shares.

4. Risk of industrial policies

Stricter requirements have been raised for the papermaking industry in the aspects of scale, technology, equipment,and environmental protection, as multiple industry plans and supporting policies have been successively issued byrelevant departments, including the Papermaking Industry Development Policy, the Notice on the Management ofElevated Source Pollution Discharge Permits in Thermal Power and Papermaking Industries and Pilot Cities ofBeijing-Tianjin-Hebei Region, and the Opinions of China Paper Association on Fourteenth Five-year Plan for thePapermaking Industry. Particularly, a number of measures have been introduced through environmental protectionpolicies to drive the all-round, coordinated, and sustainable development of the household paper industry, including

1) optimizing the industrial distribution to reasonably allocate resources and promoting clean production to preservethe ecological environment; 2) pushing energy conservation and emission reduction to shut down outdatedproduction facilities, and adjusting product structure and improving product quality; 3) developing resource-savingmodels to advocate green consumption; and 4) optimizing enterprise structure and driving M&A and restructuring.These policies are designated to strengthen household paper industry concentration, close backward productionfacilities, and optimize resource allocation. The Company, as an enterprise in the first echelon of the domestichousehold paper industry, is underpinned by national policies related to the sustainable development of thehousehold paper industry. Precisely because of this, industrial policy adjustment, if any, will impact the productionand operations of the Company to some extent.

In the face of increasing stringent environmental protection policies, as a responsible domestic enterprise in thehousehold paper industry, the Company and its subsidiaries strictly abide by environmental protection laws andregulations of the state and local governments. Production bases are equipped with state-of-the-art papermakingequipment, processing equipment and environmental protection treatment equipment and facilities, and adoptadvanced environmental protection technologies. With continuous capital and technological inputs andimprovement in pollution control of the production process, the Company strives to reduce environmental pollutionand ensure green production. The Company will continue to optimize production efficiency in response torequirements of national industrial policies.

5. Risk of safe production

Most of the materials involved in the household paper industry are flammable, including the main raw material ofpulp, the main packing materials of plastic-film packing bags and cartons, the semi-finished product of body paper,and finished products. Due to the characteristics of low unit value and large market consumption, household papermanufacturers have to keep a mass of pulp, packing materials, and semi-finished and finished products from theentry of raw materials into the plant to the delivery of products to the market. Thus, fire can cause enormous lossesto such manufacturers. In addition, a large number of production lines have been put into use, which may posecertain occupational health hazard and cause harm to the occupational health of employees.In view of this, the Company has formulated strict fire management regulations, established a full-time safetymanagement department, equipped delicated safety management personnel, equipped adequate safety protectionand fire protection equipment in production areas, and bought full insurance for risky properties. As such, theCompany’s fire safety risk is low. The Company has always adhered to the concept of intrinsic safety, continuouslyimproved mechanical safety protection, improved equipment safety, and reduced safety risks during the operationprocess. In response to possible occupational health hazards, the Company, at the equipment design and procurementstages, requires suppliers to carry out intrinsic safety design and fulfill the protection measures during theinstallation process. At the same time, the Company has passed the ISO45001 occupational health and safety (OHS)management system and continues to maintain its effective operations to reduce the occupational health and safetyrisks of employees.

5. Accounting treatment measures of business combinations involving enterprises under common control andbusiness combinations involving enterprises not under common controlBusiness combinations refer to the combination of two or more independent enterprises to form a reporting entityof transactions or events. Business combination can be classified as business combinations involving enterprisesunder common control and business combinations involving enterprises not under common control.

(1) Business combinations involving enterprises under common control

Business combinations under common control means enterprises involved in the business combination are underultimate control by one party or the same multi-parties before and after combination, and such control is nottemporary. For business combinations under common control, those who obtain control of enterprises involved inthe business combination on the combination date are the acquirer while other enterprises involved in the businesscombination are the acquiree. Combination date is the date that the combining party actually obtains control of thecombined party.Assets and liabilities that the acquirer gets from the acquiree are calculated and measured at the book values on thecombination date. If there are differences between the book values of the net assets the acquirer receives and thebook values of the combination consideration it pays (or the face values of the issued shares), the differences willbe used to adjust capital reserves (share premium). Where capital reserves (share premium) are insufficient to offset,retained earnings shall be adjusted.All direct expenses related to the business combinations paid by the acquirer shall be included in current profits andlosses upon occurrence.

(2) Business combinations involving enterprises not under common control

Business combinations not under common control means enterprises involved in the business combination are notunder ultimate control by one party or the same multi-parties before and after combination. For businesscombinations not under common control, those who obtain control of enterprises involved in the businesscombination on the acquisition date are the acquirer, while other enterprises involved in the business combination

are the acquiree. Acquisition date is the date that the acquirer actually obtains control of the acquiree.For business combinations not under common control, the costs of combination include the assets the acquirer pays,liabilities the acquirer bears, and the fair value of the equity securities issued on the date of combination for theacquisition of control over the acquiree. The costs of auditing, legal services, evaluation consulting, otherintermediary expenses and other management fees incurred for business combination shall be included in currentprofits and losses. The transaction costs of the equity securities and debt securities issued by the acquirer shall beincluded in the initially confirmed amounts of equity securities and debt securities. The contingent considerationinvolved shall be included in the costs of business combination based on its fair value at the acquisition date. If,within 12 months after the acquisition, there is new or further evidence for conditions that have already existed onthe acquisition date and the contingent consideration shall be re-adjusted, the combination goodwill shall be adjustedaccordingly. The acquirer’s costs of business combinations and its identifiable net assets obtained from businesscombinations shall be assessed at the fair values on the acquisition date. If the costs of business combinations arehigher than the identifiable net assets of the acquiree on the acquisition date, the gap between them shall beconfirmed as goodwill. If the costs of business combinations are lower than the fair values of the identifiable netassets of the acquiree on the acquisition date, the fair values of identifiable assets, liabilities and continent liabilitiesas well as the measurement of combination costs shall be reassessed; if, upon reassessment, the businesscombination costs are still lower than the fair values of the identifiable net assets of the acquiree, the differenceshall be included in profits and losses of the current period.If the deductible temporary differences the acquirer gets from the acquiree are not eligible to be confirmed asdeferred tax asset on the acquisition date, and within 12 months of the acquisition, there are new or further evidencefor the conditions that have already existed on the acquisition date that the economic profits brought by thedeductible temporary differences of the acquiree could be achieved, such differences shall be confirmed as deferredtax asset. At the same time, the goodwill shall be reduced. Where the goodwill is insufficient to be deducted, thegap between them shall be included in current profits and losses. Apart from the aforementioned situations, alldeductible temporary differences confirmed to be relevant to the business combination shall be recorded in currentprofits and losses.For business combinations not under common control that are achieved through multiple steps, whether they can beregarded as package deals shall be judged in accordance with Notice No.5 of the Interpretation of AccountingStandards for Business Enterprises of the Ministry of Finance (C.K. [2012] No.19), and the standards of “packagedeals” set out in Article 51 of the Accounting Standard for Business Enterprises No. 33 – Consolidated FinancialStatements (please refer to Note V (6) “methods for preparation of consolidated financial statements” (2)). In theevent that the combination is regarded as “package deals”, accounting treatment shall be done by referring to thedescriptions in previous paragraphs of this section and “Note V (22) Long-term equity investments” herein; if not,accounting treatment shall be done by distinguishing individual financial statements from consolidated financialstatements:

In individual financial statements, the initial investment costs shall be the sum of the book value of the equityinvestment of the acquiree held before the acquisition date and the new investment costs on the acquisition date; ifother comprehensive income is involved in the equities of the acquiree before the acquisition date, accountingprocessing shall be done for the comprehensive income related to this investment by adopting the same basis fordirectly disposing of relevant assets or liabilities of the acquiree during the disposal of this investment (that is,except for the corresponding shares of the changes caused by re-measurement of the net liabilities or net assets ofthe defined benefit plan by the acquiree, which are accounted by the equity method, others shall be transferred tothe return on investment of the current period).

In consolidated financial statements, the equities of the acquiree held before the acquisition date shall be re-measured at the fair value of the equities on the acquisition date, and the difference between the fair value and thebook value shall be recognized as the return on investment of the current period; if other comprehensive income isinvolved in the equities of the acquiree before the acquisition date, accounting processing shall be done for thecomprehensive income related to this investment by adopting the same basis for directly disposing of relevant assetsor liabilities of the acquiree .

6. Methods for preparation of consolidated financial statements

(1) Principles of determining the scope of consolidated financial statements

The scope of consolidation of consolidated financial statements shall be subject to the basis of control. Controlrefers to the power the investor owns against the investee, which allows the investor to enjoy the variable return byattending relevant activities held by the investee, and to be capable of using such power to affect the amount ofreturn. The scope of consolidation is the Company and all of its subsidiaries. Subsidiaries refer to entities controlledby the Company.The Company shall reassess whether it controls an investee if facts and circumstances indicate that there are changesto the relevant elements of control as defined above.

(2) Methods for preparation of consolidated financial statements

The Company shall include the subsidiaries in the scope of consolidation from the date it acquires the actual controlover the net assets and the decision-making of production and operations of such subsidiaries; accordingly, theCompany shall terminate including them in the scope of consolidation from the date it loses the actual control. Interms of subsidiaries already disposed of, the operating results and cash flows before the disposal date have beenincluded in the consolidated income statements and the consolidated cash flow statements appropriately; as forsubsidiaries disposed in the current period, the opening balance in the consolidated balance sheet shall not beadjusted. In case of subsidiaries added through business combinations not under the same control, the operatingresults and cash flows after the acquisition date have been included in the consolidated income statements and theconsolidated cash flow statements appropriately, and the opening and comparative balance in the consolidatedbalance sheet shall not be adjusted. In case of subsidiaries added through business combinations under the samecontrol, the operating results and cash flows of the combined party from the beginning of the period in which thecombination happens to the combination date have been included in the consolidated income statements and theconsolidated cash flow statements appropriately, and the comparative balance in the consolidated balance sheet shallbe adjusted simultaneously.In case of inconsistencies in the accounting policies or periods between subsidiaries and the Company duringpreparation of consolidated financial statements, financial statements of subsidiaries shall be adjusted according tothe accounting policies and periods adopted by the Company. For subsidiaries acquired by business combinationsnot under the same control, their financial statements shall be adjusted based on the fair value of the identifiable netassets on the acquisition date.All major business transaction balance, transactions, and unrealized profit of the Company shall be offset duringpreparation of consolidated financial statements.Shareholders’ equities of subsidiaries and the part of the net profit and loss of the current period not attributable tothe Company shall be presented separately under the shareholders’ equities and the net profit in the consolidatedfinancial statements as equities of minority shareholders and minority shareholders’ profits and losses. Shares ofequities of minority shareholders in the net profit and loss of the current period of subsidiaries shall be presented

under the “minority shareholders’ profits and losses” in the consolidated income statement. If the loss of a subsidiarywhich is shared by its minority shareholders exceeds the minority shareholders’ share in the opening balance of thesubsidiary, the minority interest shall be reduced.If the Parent Company loses control of a subsidiary due to partial disposal of equity investment or other reasons, itshall re-measure the remaining equity at fair value on the date of loss of control. The sum of consideration obtainedfrom equity disposal and fair value of the remaining equity, minus the difference between the Parent Company’sshare of the subsidiary’s net assets that is continuously calculated from the acquisition date, shall be recognized asinvestment income for the reporting period when the loss of control takes place. Accounting processing shall bedone for the other comprehensive income related to this investment in the subsidiary’s equities by adopting the samebasis for directly disposing of relevant assets or liabilities of the acquiree during the loss of control (that is, exceptfor the changes caused by re-measurement of the net liabilities or net assets of the defined benefit plan by theprevious subsidiary, others shall be transferred to the return on investment of the current period). After that,subsequent measurement shall be done for the remaining equity of this part as per relevant provisions in theAccounting Standards for Business Enterprises No. 2 - Long-term Equity Investment or the Accounting Standardsfor Business Enterprises No. 22 - Recognition and Measurement of Financial Instruments. See “Note V (22) Long-term equity investments” or “Note V (10) Financial instruments” for details.If the Company disposes of investments in a subsidiary’s equities by steps via transactions until it loses control, itshall check whether these transactions from disposal of the investments in the subsidiary’s equities to the loss ofcontrol are package deals. If the terms, conditions, and economic effects of transactions on disposing of equityinvestment in the subsidiary conform to one or more of the following circumstances, that means these multipletransactions should be treated as package deals in accounting processing: 1) Those transactions are reached at thesame time or after taking into consideration the influence of each other; 2) those transactions together produce acomplete commercial outcome; 3) the occurrence of one transaction depends on the occurrence of at least one othertransaction; 4) one transaction alone does not seem to be economical, but all those transactions are economical whenare considered as a whole. If those transactions are package deals, each transaction shall be treated as a transactionthat results in loss of control of the subsidiary in accounting processing. However, the difference between eachdisposal price before loss of control and the Parent Company’s share of the subsidiary’s net assets corresponding tothe disposal investment shall be recognized as other comprehensive income in the consolidated financial statementsand, upon loss of control, transferred to the profit and loss of the current reporting period.

7. Classification of joint operation arrangements and accounting treatment methods for joint operationsNone.

8. Criteria for recognition of cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, deposits that can be used for payment at any time, and short-term(due within three months from the acquisition date) investment held by the Company with high liquidity, easy toconvert to cash in a known amount, and small risk of value changes.

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

(1) Methods for translation of transactions denominated in foreign currencies

At the initial recognition of foreign currency transactions of the Company, foreign currency will be translated into the

amount of standard currency for accounting at the spot exchange rate or its approximate exchange rate on the transactiondate. However, the business of exchange of foreign currencies or transactions related to the exchange of foreign currencies,foreign currency will be translated into the amount of standard currency for accounting at the exchange rate actuallyadopted.

(2) Methods for translation of monetary and non-monetary items in foreign currenciesOn the balance sheet date, the foreign currency monetary items are translated at the spot exchange rate on that date.Exchange difference resulting from the difference between the spot exchange rate on the balance sheet date and thatat the initial recognition or on the previous balance sheet date shall be recognized as the profit and loss of the currentperiod.Non-monetary items that are measured at historical cost in foreign currencies shall still be converted at the spotexchange rate on the transaction date with the amount of standard currency for accounting unchanged. Non-monetary items that are measured at fair value in foreign currencies are translated using the foreign exchange rateat the date the fair value is recognized. The difference between the amount of standard currency for accounting aftertranslation and the original amount of the standard currency for accounting shall be treated as a change in fair value(including the change in the exchange rate) and recognized as the profit and loss of the current period or othercomprehensive income.

(3) Methods for translation of foreign-currency financial statements

Foreign-currency financial statements of overseas operations shall be translated into RMB financial statements by thefollowing methods: The assets and liabilities in the balance sheet shall be converted at the spot exchange rate on thebalance sheet date; except “undistributed profits”, all the other owner’s equity items are converted at the spot exchangerate at the time of occurrence. Income and expense items in the income statement shall be translated using the foreignexchange rates ruling at the dates of the transactions. The undistributed profit at the beginning of the year is theundistributed profit at the end of the year after the conversion of the previous year; The undistributed profits at the end ofthe period are calculated and listed according to the profit distribution items after conversion; The difference between thetotal amount of assets, liabilities and shareholders' equity after translation is recognized as other comprehensive incomeas the translation difference of foreign currency statements.Translation of comparative financial statements shall besubject to the above provisions.

10. Financial instruments

When the Company becomes a party to a financial instrument contract, the financial instrument is confirmed to beeither financial assets or financial liabilities.

(1) Classification, recognition, and measurement of financial assets

According to the business model of managing financial assets and the contractual cash flow characteristics offinancial assets, the Company classified financial assets into the following categories: financial assets measured atthe amortized cost, financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income and financial assetsmeasured at fair value through profit and loss of the current period.Financial assets are measured at fair value upon initial recognition. For financial assets measured at fair valuethrough profit and loss of the current period, transaction costs are directly included in profit and loss of the currentperiod. For other types of financial assets, related transaction costs are included in their initial recognized amounts.In terms of the accounts receivable or notes receivable arising from selling products or providing labor servicewithout or not considering major financing component, the Company shall regard the expected considerationamount that it has rights to charge as the initial recognition amount.

1) Financial assets measured at amortized cost

For the business model where the Company manages the financial assets carried at amortized cost, the Companyaims to charge the contract cash flows, and the characteristics of the contract cash flows of this kind of financialassets are consistent with the basic lending arrangements. That is, cash flows generated on specified dates are solelypayments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding. This kind of financial assets aresubsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. Gain or loss arising from amortizationor impairment is recognized in profit and loss of the current period.

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

The business model for the Company to manage this type of financial assets aims at both obtaining the contract cashflows and selling the financial assets, and the characteristics of the contract cash flows of this kind of financial assetsare consistent with the basic lending arrangements. The Company measures this kind of financial assets at fair valuethrough other comprehensive income, but recognizes the impairment losses or gains, exchange profit and loss, andinterest income calculated by the effective interest method as the profit and loss of the current period.Additionally, the Company designates some non-tradable equity instruments as financial assets at fair value throughother comprehensive income. The Company recognizes relevant dividend income from such financial assets as theprofit and loss of the current period, and changes in fair value as other comprehensive income. When such financialassets are derecognized, the accumulated gains or losses previously recognized as other comprehensive income shallbe transferred from other comprehensive income to retained earnings and not recognized as the profit and loss ofthe current period.

3) Financial assets measured at fair value through profit and loss of the current periodAll financial assets other than the other two preceding types are classified as financial assets measured at fair valuethrough profit and loss of the current period. Moreover, at initial recognition, to eliminate or significantly reduceaccounting mismatches, the Company may designate some financial assets as financial assets measured at fair valuethrough profit and loss of the current period. Such financial assets shall be measured at fair value, and changes infair value are recognized as the profit and loss of the current period.

(2) Classification, recognition, and measurement of financial liabilities

At initial recognition, financial liabilities are classified into financial liabilities measured at fair value through profitor loss and other financial liabilities. For financial liabilities at fair value through profit and loss of the current period,transaction costs are directly included in profit and loss of the current period. For other types of financial liabilities,related transaction costs are included in their initial recognized amounts.

1) Financial liabilities measured at fair value through profit and loss of the current periodFinancial liabilities measured at fair value through profit and loss of the current period include tradable financialliabilities (including derivatives belonging to financial liabilities) and financial liabilities designated to be measuredat fair value through profit and loss of the current period at initial recognition.Tradable financial liabilities (including derivatives that are financial liabilities) are subsequently measured at fairvalue, and changes in fair value -- except for those related to hedging accounting -- are recognized as profit and lossof the current period.For those that are designated as financial liabilities measured at fair value through profit or loss, the changes in fairvalue resulting from changes in the credit risk of the Company shall be recognized as other comprehensive income;besides, when such liabilities are derecognized, the amount of accumulative changes in fair value resulting fromcredit risk changes that are recognized as other comprehensive income shall be transferred to retained earnings.Other changes in fair value shall be recognized as the profit and loss of the current period. If the treatment of thecredit risk changes in such financial liabilities by the above methods will result in expansion of the accountingmismatch in the profit and loss, the Company shall recognize all gains or losses in such financial liabilities(including the amount subject to the credit risk changes of the Company) as the profit and loss of the current period.

2) Other financial liabilities

Except for financial liabilities resulting from financial asset transfers not meeting the conditions for derecognitionor the continuous involvement in the transferred financial asset, or financial guarantee contracts, other financialliabilities shall be classified into the financial liabilities measured at amortized cost, which shall be subsequentlymeasured at amortized cost, and the gains or losses resulting from derecognition or amortization shall be recognizedas the profit and loss of the current period.

(3) Recognition basis and measurement method of financial asset transfer

Once one of the following conditions is met, the financial assets shall be derecognized: 1) The contract right tocharge the cash flows of the financial assets is terminated; 2) the financial assets have been transferred, and almostall the risks and rewards of the ownership of the financial assets are transferred to the transferee; 3) the financialassets have been transferred, and the Company has given up the control over the financial assets although it doesnot transfer or retain almost all the risks and rewards of the ownership of the financial assets.If the Company has neither transferred nor retained almost all the risks and rewards of the ownership of the financialassets, and the Company does not waive its control of the financial assets, it shall recognize the relevant financialassets within the extent of its continuous involvement in the transferred financial assets and recognize the relevantliabilities. The continuous involvement in the transferred financial assets refers to the level of risk with which theCompany is faced due to changes in the financial asset values.When overall transfer of financial assets meets the conditions for derecognization, the book value of the transferredfinancial assets and the difference between the consideration received due to transfer and the accumulative changesin fair value that is originally recognized as other comprehensive income shall be recognized as the profit and lossof the current period.When partial transfer of financial assets meets the conditions for derecognization, the book value of the transferredfinancial assets shall be apportioned to the fair value between the derecognized part and the recognized part, andthe consideration received due to transfer and the difference between the accumulative changes in fair value that isoriginally recognized as other comprehensive income, which shall be apportioned to the derecognized part, and theapportioned book value as mentioned above shall be recognized as the profit and loss of the current period.When the Company sells financial assets with additional recourse or transfers the endorsed financial assets held, itshall check whether almost all the risks and rewards of the ownership of the financial assets are transferred. If theCompany has transferred almost all the risks and rewards of the ownership of the financial assets to the transferee,it shall derecognize the financial assets; if the Company retains almost all the risks and rewards of the ownership ofthe financial assets, it shall not derecognize the financial assets; if the Company neither transfers nor retains almostall the risks and rewards of the ownership of the financial assets, it shall judge whether it has retained control overthe assets and conduct accounting processing following the principles described in previous paragraphs.

(4) Derecognition of financial liabilities

If current obligations of the financial liabilities (or some of the liabilities) have been released, the Company shallderecognize the financial liabilities (or some of the liabilities). Where the Company (borrower) and a lender sign anagreement to replace the existing financial liability by way of assumption of new financial liability with the termsof the new financial liability substantially different from those of the existing financial liability, it derecognizes theexisting financial liability while recognizing the new financial liability. If the contract terms of the existing financialliability are materially changed in whole (or in part), the existing financial liability will be derecognized, and thefinancial liability after changes of terms will be recognized as a new financial liability.If a financial liability is derecognized in whole (or in part), the difference between the book value of thederecognized portion and the consideration paid (including the non-cash assets transferred out or the new financialliability assumed) is recognized as the profit and loss of the current period.

(5) Offsetting financial assets and financial liabilities

When the Company has the statutory right to offset the recognized amount of financial assets and financial liabilities,and this statutory right is currently enforceable, and the Company plans to net the financial assets or simultaneouslyrealize the financial assets and pay off the financial liabilities, the financial assets and financial liabilities arepresented in the balance sheet at the net amount after offsetting each other. Otherwise, financial assets and financialliabilities are presented separately in the balance sheet and are not offset against each other.

(6) Methods for determining the fair value of financial assets and financial liabilitiesThe 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 measurement date. If there are active markets for a financial instrument, theCompany establishes its fair value by using quotes in the active markets. Quotes in active markets refer to pricesthat are readily available on a regular basis from exchanges, brokers, trade associations, pricing service institutions,etc., and represent the prices of market transactions that actually occur in a fair trade. If there is no active market,the Company establishes fair value by using valuation techniques.Valuation techniques include reference to price used in recent market transactions between knowledgeable, willingparties, reference to the current fair value of other financial instruments that are substantially the same, discountedcash flow analysis, option pricing models, etc. During valuation, the Company adopts the valuation techniques thatare applicable under current circumstances and supported by sufficient available data and other information, selectsthe input values that are consistent with the characteristics of the assets or liabilities considered by the marketparticipants in the transaction of the relevant assets or liabilities, and preferentially uses the relevant observableinputs. Unobservable input values are used where the relevant observable input values are not available or are notpracticable.

(7) Equity instruments

An equity instrument refers to a contract that can prove the Company owns the remaining equity in the assets afterdeducting all liabilities. The Company’s issuance (including refinancing), repurchase, sales or cancellation of equityinstruments are treated as changes in equities, and transaction costs related to equity transactions are deducted fromequities. The Company does not recognize changes in the fair value of equity instruments.The distribution of dividends by equity instruments (including “interests” generated by instruments that areclassified as equity instruments) during their period existence shall be treated as profit distribution.

(8) Impairment of financial assets

The financial assets for which the Company needs to recognize impairment losses are financial assets measured atamortized cost, debt instrument investments measured at fair value through other comprehensive income, and leasereceivables, mainly including notes receivable, accounts receivable, and other receivables. In addition, for somecontract assets and financial guarantee contracts, impairment reserves are set aside and credit impairment losses arerecognized as per the accounting policies described in this section.

Based on the expected credit loss, the Company sets aside provisions for impairment of the above items by methods(general method or simplified method) for measuring expected credit loss applicable to them and recognizes creditimpairment loss.Credit loss refers to the difference between all contract cash flow receivables discounted at the original effectiveinterest rate under the contract and all expected cash flow receivables, i.e., the present value of all cash shortages.Specifically, for financial assets that have been credit-impaired at the time of purchase or origin, the Companydiscounts the financial assets at the credit-adjusted actual interest rate.The general method for measuring expected credit loss means that the Company assesses on each balance sheet datewhether the credit risk of financial assets has increased significantly since the initial recognition. If yes, the

Company measures loss reserves at an amount equivalent to the expected credit loss in the entire duration; if not,the Company measures loss reserves at an amount equivalent to the expected credit loss in the next 12 months. TheCompany considers all reasonable and evidence-based information, including forward-looking information, whenassessing expected credit loss;As for financial instruments with low credit risk on the balance sheet date, the Company measures the loss reservesaccording to the expected credit loss in the future 12 months, assuming that its credit risk has had no significantincrease since its initial recognition. The Company chooses to measure loss reserves according to the expected creditloss in the next 12 months or in the entire duration based on whether the credit risk has increased significantly sinceinitial recognition.

2) Standards for judging whether credit risk has increased significantly since initial recognitionIf the probability of default (PD) of a financial asset in the expected duration recognized on the balance sheet dateis significantly higher than that in the expected duration recognized at the time of initial recognition, the credit riskof the financial asset has increased significantly. Except for special circumstances, the Company determines whethercredit risk has increased significantly since initial recognition by reasonably assessing the changes in the PD in theentire duration with the changes in the coming 12 months.

3) Portfolio method for assessing expected credit risk based on portfolios

The Company assesses individual credit risk of financial assets with significantly different credit risks. Examplesinclude the following: receivables from related parties; receivables that have disputes with counterparties or thoseinvolved in litigation or arbitration; there are obvious signs that the debtor is very unlikely to fulfill the repaymentobligation.In addition to financial assets whose individual credit risk is assessed, the Company divides financial assets intodifferent groups based on common risk characteristics, and assesses credit risk on a portfolio basis.

4) Accounting treatment methods for impairment of financial assets

At the end of the reporting period, the Company calculates the expected credit loss of financial assets. If the expectedcredit loss is greater than the book value of its current impairment provisions, the difference is recognized as animpairment loss; if it is less than the current book value of the impairment provisions, the difference is recognizedas impairment gains.

5) Methods for recognizing credit losses of financial assets

a. Notes receivableThe Company measures loss reserves for notes receivable at an amount equivalent to expected credit loss in theentire duration. The Company divides notes receivable into different portfolios based on their credit riskcharacteristics:

ItemBasis for determining the portfolio
Banker’s acceptanceAcceptors are banks with low credit risks.
Trade acceptanceThe aging of trade acceptance is used as credit risk characteristics.

b. Accounts receivableThe Company measures loss reserves for accounts receivable without major financing component at an amountequivalent to expected credit loss in the entire duration.The Company measures loss reserves for accounts receivable and lease receivables with major financing componentat an amount equivalent to expected credit loss in the duration.Except for accounts receivable whose individual credit risk is assessed, the Company divides accounts receivableinto different portfolios based on their credit risk characteristics:

ItemBasis for determining the portfolio
Aging portfolioThis portfolio uses aging of accounts receivable as credit risk characteristics.
Related party portfolioThis portfolio comprises amounts of related parties within the consolidated scope.

c. Other receivablesThe Company adopts the amount equivalent to the expected credit loss in the coming 12 months or in the entireduration to measure impairment losses based on whether the credit risk of other receivables has increasedsignificantly since initial recognition. Except for other receivables whose individual credit risk is assessed, theCompany divides other receivables into different portfolios based on their credit risk characteristics:

15. Inventories

(1) Classification of inventories

Inventories mainly include raw materials, goods in process, materials for consigned processing, commodity stocks,packages, and low-value consumables.

(2) Pricing methods for inventory acquisition and delivery

Inventories are priced at actual cost when they are acquired. Inventory costs include procurement costs, processingcost, and other costs. Inventories are priced by the weighted average method during receipt and delivery.

(3) Methods for recognition of the net realizable value of inventories and the provisions for impairment ofinventoriesThe net realizable value refers to the amount of the estimated selling price of the inventory minus the estimated cost,estimated selling expenses, and related taxes and fees at the time of completion in daily activities. When recognizingthe net realizable value of inventories based on the substantial evidence obtained, the Company also considers thepurpose of holding the inventories and the impact on matters after the balance sheet date.On the balance sheet date, inventories are measured at the lower of costs and the net realizable value. When the netrealizable value is lower than costs, the Company sets aside provisions for inventory impairment. Provisions for

inventory impairment are set aside based on the difference between the cost of individual inventory item and its netrealizable value. For inventories with a large quantity but a low unit value, provisions for inventory impairment areset aside according to inventory category.After provisions for the inventory impairment are set aside, if the influencing factors in previous write-down of theinventory value disappear, causing the net realizable value of the inventory to be higher than its book value, it shallbe reversed within the amount of the provisions for inventory impairment that have been set aside and recognizedas the profit and loss of the current period.

(4) The perpetual inventory system is adopted for the inventories.

(5) Amortization method for low-value consumables and packages

The one-time amortization method is adopted for low-value consumables and packages upon receipt.

16. Contract assets

The Company recognizes the contract amounts where the customer has not paid the consideration but the Companyhas fulfilled its contractual obligation while the claim to the amount from the customer is not unconditional (i.e.Only dependent on the passage of time) as contract assets in the balance sheet. Contract assets and contract liabilitiesunder the same contract are presented on a net basis; contract assets and contract liabilities under different contractsare not offset.

17. Contract costs

If the incremental cost incurred by the Company for obtaining a contract is expected to be recovered, the cost ofobtaining the contract is recognized as an asset. However, if the amortization period of the asset does not exceedone year, it is included into the profit and loss of the period as it occurs.If the contract cost does not fall within other enterprise accounting standards than the Accounting Standards forBusiness Enterprises No. 14 -- Revenue and meet the following conditions at the same time, it is considered ascontract performance cost and recognized as asset: 1) the cost is directly related to an existing or expected contractincluding direct labor, direct material or manufacturing overhead (or similar expenses), or the cost has beenexpressly defined as borne by the customer, or the cost is incurred solely as a result of the contract; 2) the costincreases the Company’s future resources to perform contractual obligations; and 3) the cost is expected to berecovered.Contract cost-related assets are amortized on the same basis of goods revenue recognition relating to the asset andincluded in the profit and loss of the current period.

18. Assets held for sale

The Company classifies non-current assets or a disposal group as held for sale (including exchange of non-monetaryassets with commercial substance, the same below) if their book values are recovered principally through disposalrather than through continuing use. Specifically, the following conditions shall be met simultaneously: A certainnon-current asset or disposal group can be sold immediately under the current conditions according to the practiceof selling such assets or disposal groups in similar transactions; the Company has made a resolution of an offer andobtained the purchase commitment; the sale is expected to be completed within one year. Among them, the disposalgroup refers to a group of assets that are disposed of as a whole through sale or other means in a transaction, andthe liabilities directly related to these assets that are transferred in the transaction. If the asset group or the

combination of asset groups to which the goodwill (obtained from business combination) has been allocated inaccordance with the Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises No. 8 -- Impairment of Assets, the disposalgroup shall include the goodwill allocated to it.During initial measurement or re-measurement of the non-current assets and disposal groups classified into held-for-sale assets on the balance sheet date, if the book value of such assets is higher than the net value deducting thecost of offer, the book value is written down to the recoverable amount by the Company, the written-down amountis recognized as profit and loss of the current period and impairment provisions are set aside at the same time. Forthe disposal group, the recognized asset impairment loss is first deducted from the book value of the goodwill in thedisposal group, and then deducted in proportion from the book value of non-current assets specified in the applicableAccounting Standards for Business Enterprises No. 42 - Non-Current Assets and Disposal Groups Held for Saleand Discontinued Operations (hereinafter referred to as the “Standards for Assets Held for Sale”). If the fair valueof the disposal group held for sale on the subsequent balance sheet date increases after deducting the selling expenses,the previously written down amount shall be restored, and reversed within the amount of the asset impairment lossesrecognized for non-current assets as per the Standards for Assets Held for Sale applicable after the assets areclassified into those held for sale, and the reversed amount shall be recognized as the profit and loss of the currentperiod. Besides, the book value of the reversed amount shall be increased in proportion according to the proportionof the book value of the non-current assets specified in the Standards for Assets Held for Sale applicable to thoseexcept for the goodwill in the disposal group. The book value of the goodwill that has been deducted, and the assetimpairment losses recognized before the non-current assets are classified into assets held for sale as per theStandards for Assets Held for Sale shall not be reversed.Non-current assets held for sale and non-current assets in the disposal group are not subject to depreciation oramortization. Interest and other expenses on liabilities in the disposal group held for sale continue to be recognized.When the non-current assets or disposal group no longer meets the conditions for classification into the assets heldfor sale, the Company no longer classifies them into the category or removes the non-current assets from the disposalgroup held for sale, and measures them at the lower of the following two: (1) in terms of the book value beforeclassification into assets held for sale, for which the measurement standard is the amount after adjustment accordingto the depreciation, amortization, or impairment that should have been recognized under the assumption that theyare not classified into assets held for sale; and (2) the recoverable amount.

19. Investments in creditor’s rights: None

20. Other investments in creditor’s rights: None

21. Long-term receivables: None

22. Long-term equity investments

The long-term equity investments herein refer to the long-term equity investments in which the Company has control,joint control, or significant influence on the investee. Long-term equity investments where the Company has nocontrol, joint control, or significant influence on the investee are accounted as financial assets measured at fair valuethrough profit and loss of the current period. Among them, for those that are non-tradable, the Company may chooseto designate them as the financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income for accountingduring initial recognition. See “Note V (10) Financial instruments” for their detailed accounting policies.Joint control refers to the common control over a particular arrangement according to relevant agreement, and that

the decisions on relevant activities under such arrangement are subject to the unanimous consent from the partiessharing the joint control. Significant influence means having the power to participate in the financial and operatingpolicy decision-making of the investee, but cannot control or, together with other parties, jointly control theformulation of these policies.

(1) Determination of investment cost

For long-term equity investments obtained from combination of enterprises under common control, the share of thecombined party’s owner’s equity in the book value of the consolidated financial statements of the final controllingparty which is acquired on the combination date shall be regarded as the initial investment cost for long-term equityinvestments. The capital reserves shall be adjusted if there is difference between the initial investment cost of long-term equity investment and the cash paid, the transferred non-cash assets, and the book value of the debts assumed;if the capital reserve is insufficient to offset, the retained earnings shall be adjusted. If the equity securities issuedare used as the combination consideration, the share of the combined party’s owner’s equity in the book value ofthe consolidated financial statements of the final controlling party which is acquired on the combination date shallbe regarded as the initial investment cost for long-term equity investments; the total book value of the shares issuedshall be the share capital; the capital reserves shall be adjusted if there is difference between the initial investmentcost of long-term equity investments and the total book value of the shares issued; if the capital reserves areinsufficient to balance the difference, retained earnings shall be adjusted.For long-term equity investments obtained from combination of enterprises under different control, the combinationcosts on the acquisition date shall be used as the initial investment costs of the long-term equity investment; thecombination costs include the sum of the assets paid by the acquirer, the liabilities incurred or assumed, and the fairvalue of the equity securities issued.Intermediary expenses such as auditing, legal services, assessment and consulting and other related managementexpenses incurred by the combining party or acquirer for the business combination shall be recognized as the profitand loss of the current period.Other equity investments except for long-term equity investments formed via business combination are initiallymeasured at cost. Subject to the way the long-term equity investments are obtained, the costs shall be recognizedbased on the cash actually paid by the Company for acquisition, the fair value of the equity securities issued by theCompany, the value agreed in the investment contract or agreement, the fair value or original book value of theassets swapped out in a non-monetary asset exchange transaction, and the fair value of the long-term equityinvestment itself. Expenses, taxes, and other necessary expenditures directly related to acquisition of long-termequity investments are also recognized as investment costs.

(2) Subsequent measurement and recognition of profit and loss

If the Company has common control or significant influence over the investee (except for constituting co-proprietors), the long-term equity investment shall be accounted for by using the equity method. Additionally, theCompany’s financial statements apply the cost method for long-term equity investments that can make control inthe investee

1) Long-term equity investments accounted for using the cost method

When the cost method is used, the long-term equity investments are calculated according to the initial investmentcost. In the event that the investment is added or recovered, the cost of the long-term equity investments shall beadjusted. With the exception of the price actually paid at the acquisition of investment or cash dividends or profitsincluded in consideration, declared but not issued yet, the return on investment of the current period shall berecognized according to the cash dividends or profits declared to be issued by the investee.

2) Long-term equity investments accounted for using the equity method

When using equity method, if the initial investment cost of long-term equity investments is greater than the fair

value share of the identifiable net assets entitled of the investee at the time of investment, the initial investment ofthe long-term equity investments shall not be adjusted. If the initial investment cost of long-term equity investmentsis lower than the fair value share of the identifiable net assets entitled of the investee at the time of investment, thedifference shall be recognized as profit and loss of the current period and the cost of the long-term equity investmentsshall be adjusted at the same time.When the equity method is used, return on investment and other comprehensive income shall be respectivelydetermined based on the share of net profit or loss and other comprehensive income realized by the investee thatshall be attributable or assumed, and the book value of long-term equity investments shall be adjusted at the sametime. Attributable share shall be calculated based on the profit or cash dividends declared by the investee and thebook value of long-term equity investments shall be accordingly decreased. In respect to other changes of owner’sequity of the investee in addition to net profit or loss, other comprehensive income and profit distribution, the bookvalue of long-term equity investments shall be adjusted and recognized as capital surplus. When confirming theshare of the investee’s net profit and loss, the Company shall confirm the investee’s net profit after adjustment basedon the fair value of the identifiable net assets of the investee at the acquisition of the investment. Where theaccounting policy and accounting period adopted by the investee differs from those of the Company, the investee’sfinancial statements shall be adjusted according to the Company’s accounting policy and accounting period, and thereturn on investment and other comprehensive income shall be recognized accordingly. Where the transactions arebetween the Company and the associates and joint ventures, and the assets that are invested or sold do not constitutebusiness, unrealized internal transaction profits and losses incurred between the Company and the associates andjoint ventures shall be offset with the part attributable to the Company which is calculated on a due pro-rata basis,and the return on investment shall be recognized on this basis. However, unrealized internal transaction lossesincurred between the Company and the investees shall not be offset if they fall under the impairment losses on assetstransferred.When confirming the limit of net loss incurred by the investee, the limit is the extent that the book value of the long-term equity investments and other long-term equity that substantially constitutes a net investment in the investmenttarget is written down to zero. Additionally, if the Company has obligations to assume additional losses of theinvestee, provisions are recognized according to the expected obligation, and recognized as investment losses forthe period. Where the investee records net profit in the future, the Company resumes and recognizes the profit-sharing amount after such amount makes up the unrecognized loss-sharing amount.

23. Investment property

Measurement model for investment propertyMeasurement by the cost methodDepreciation or amortization methodInvestment properties are real estate held to generate rental income or earn capital gains or both. Investmentproperties include land use rights leased out, land use rights held for transfer after appreciation, buildings leasedout, etc.Investment property is initially measured at cost. Subsequent costs are included in the investment property’s costonly when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Company and thecost of the item can be measured reliably. Other subsequent costs are recognized as profit and loss of the currentperiod when incurred.The Company adopts the cost model for subsequent measurement of investment property, and depreciates oramortizes it according to policies consistent with those for buildings or land use rights.

Impairment test method and impairment provision method for investment property are detailed in “Note V (31)Long-term asset impairment”.Investment properties are derecognized when they are disposed of or permanently withdrawn from use and it isexpected that no economic benefit can be generated from its disposal. The income from selling, transferring, writingoff or destroying investment property, less its book value and relevant taxes and fees, is recognized as profit andloss of the current period.

24. Fixed assets

(1) Recognition conditions

Fixed assets are tangible assets with a useful life of more than one accounting year that are held for production orsupply of goods or labor services, for rental to third parties, or for use in the organizations. Fixed assets shall onlybe recognized when relevant economic interest may flow into the Company and costs thereof can be reliablymeasured. Fixed assets shall be initially measured at cost and by taking into account the impact of estimated disposalexpense.

(2) Depreciation method

TypeDepreciation methodDepreciation lifeResidual value rateAnnual depreciation rate
Properties and buildingsStraight-line depreciation10 to 30 years5%. 10%3.00%, 3.17% to 9.00%, 9.50%
EquipmentStraight-line depreciation2 to 20 years5%. 10%4.50%, 4.75% to 45.00%, 47.50%

Production equipmentStraight-line depreciation2 to 5 years5%. 10%18.00%, 19.00% to 45.00%, 47.50%

Estimated residual value refers to the current amount where, supposed the service life of a fixed asset has expiredand it is in the expected status of such expiration, the Company obtains from the disposal of such asset after theestimated disposal expense is deducted.

(3) Determination basis, pricing method and depreciation method of fixed assets acquired under financeleases:Not applicable

25. Construction work in process

Construction work in progress is measured at actual project expenditure, comprising project expenditure incurredduring construction and other necessary cost incurred.The Company’s Construction work in progress is transferred to fixed assets when the assets are ready for theirintended use. If the fixed assets under construction have reached the expected usable status but have not yetcompleted the final account for completed project, they shall be recognized as fixed assets according to theestimated value, and accrue depreciation. After the completion of the final account for completed project, the

original estimated value is adjusted according to the actual cost, but the original accrued depreciation amount isnot adjusted.Impairment test method and impairment provision method for Construction work in progress are detailed in “NoteV (31) Long-term asset impairment”.

26. Borrowing costs

Borrowing costs include interest on borrowings, amortizations of discounts or premiums, incidental expenses,exchange difference resulting from foreign-currency borrowings, etc. The borrowing costs that can be directlyattributable to the acquisition, construction or production of an asset eligible for capitalization shall be capitalizedif the capital expenditures have been incurred, the borrowing costs have been incurred, or the necessary purchase,construction or production activities to make the asset reach the expected available or marketable state have begun.When the assets with the purchase, construction or production meeting the capitalization conditions reach theexpected available or marketable state, they cease to be capitalized. Any other borrowing costs are recognized as anexpense in the period when they are incurred.The amount of interest that shall be capitalized is determined based on the interest expenses incurred in the periodwhen a specifically borrowed fund is obtained less any income earned on the unused borrowing fund as a depositin a bank or as a temporary investment. Where funds are borrowed for a general purpose, the amount of interest thatshall be capitalized is determined by multiplying the part of the accumulative asset disbursements in excess of theweighted average asset disbursement for the specifically borrowed fund by the capitalization rate of the generalborrowing used. The capitalization rate is the weighted average interest rates applicable to the general-purposeborrowings.During the capitalization, all exchange differences arising from earmarked foreign-currency borrowings shall becapitalized; exchange differences arising from general-purpose foreign-currency borrowings shall be recognized asprofit and loss of the current period.Assets eligible for capitalization refer to assets such as fixed assets, investment real estates and inventories that canreach the expected available or marketable status after a long period of purchase, construction or productionactivities.If the acquisition, construction or production of an asset eligible for capitalization is continuously suspended forover three months for abnormal reasons, capitalization of the borrowing costs shall be suspended, until theacquisition, construction or production of the asset is resumed.

27. Biological assets: None

28. Oil & gas assets: None

29. Right-of-use assets

Impairment test method and impairment provision method for right-of-use assets are detailed in "Note V (42)Leases".

30. Intangible assets

(1) Pricing method, service life, and impairment test

Intangible assets refer to identifiable non-monetary assets without physical substance owned or controlled by theCompany.Intangible assets are initially measured at cost. Costs of intangible assets are included in intangible assets’ bookvalue, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Company andthe cost of the item can be measured reliably. Other costs of intangible assets are recognized as profit and loss ofthe current period when incurred.Land use rights acquired are generally accounted for as intangible assets. With respect to self-built buildingsincluding plants, the relevant land use right expenses and buildings’ construction costs are accounted for asintangible assets and fixed assets, respectively. For purchased houses and buildings, the price paid is distributedbetween the land use right and the building. If it is difficult to distribute, it shall all be included in fixed assets.From the beginning of use of intangible assets with finite service life, the accumulated amount of the original valueless estimated net residual value and the provisions for asset impairment set aside shall be amortized evenly in stagesby straight-line method over their service life. Intangible assets with uncertain service lives are not amortized.The Company reviews the service life and amortization method of intangible asset with finite service life at the endof the reporting period, and a change therein (if any) shall be accounted for as a change in accounting estimates.Additionally, the Company reviews the service life and amortization method of intangible asset with uncertainservice life. If there is evidence that the period when it brings economic benefits to the enterprise is foreseeable, itsservice life shall be estimated and it is amortized according to the amortization policy for intangible assets withfinite service life.Impairment test method and impairment provision method for intangible assets are detailed in “Note V (31)”.

(2) Accounting policy for expenditure on internal research and developmentThe Company classifies the expenditure on an internal research and development project into expenditure on theresearch phase and expenditure on the development phase.Expenditure on the research phase is recognized as profit and loss of the current period when incurred.Expenditure on the development phase is recognized as intangible asset when all the following criteria are met,while expenditure in the development phase that does not meet the following criteria is recognized as profit and lossof the current period when incurred:

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

2) the intention to complete the intangible asset and use or sell it;

3) how the intangible asset will generate probable future economic benefits. Among other things, the Company candemonstrate the existence of a market for the output of the intangible asset or the intangible asset itself or, if it is tobe used internally, the usefulness of the intangible asset;

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

5) the ability to measure reliably the expenditure attributable to the intangible asset during the development.Where the expenditure on research and development incurred cannot be classified into the expenditure on researchphase or the expenditure on development phase, it shall be recognized as profit and loss of the current period whenincurred.

31. Long-term asset impairment

The Company determines on the balance sheet date whether there is any indication that the non-current and non-financial assets may have been impaired, including fixed assets, construction work in progress, intangible assetswith limited service life, and investment properties measured using the cost model, and long-term equityinvestments in subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates. If there is any indication that the asset is likely to beimpaired, the Company will estimate the recoverable amount and carry out the impairment test. Impairment testsshall be conducted each year for goodwill and intangible assets with uncertain service life and not yet in use, whetheror not there is any indication of impairment.If an impairment test shows that the recoverable amount of an asset is lower than its book value, the difference isrecognized as a provision for impairment and recognized as the impairment loss. The recoverable amount isdetermined based on the higher of the net amount of the fair value of the asset minus the disposal expenses and thepresent value of the expected future cash flow of the asset. The fair value of asset is determined according to theprice of the sales agreement in fair trade. If there is no sales agreement but an active market for the asset, the fairvalue is determined according to the price offered by the buyer for the asset. If there is neither sales agreement noractive market for the asset, the fair value of the asset shall be estimated based on the best information available. Thedisposal costs include legal fees, relevant taxes and fees, as well as handling fees related to the disposal of asset,and the direct costs incurred to ensure the asset reaches the marketable state. The present value of the expectedfuture cash flow of an asset shall be determined by the discounted cash at an appropriate discount rate, on the basisof the expected future cash flow generated during the continuous use or final disposal of an asset. Provisions forasset impairment are calculated and recognized on an individual basis. If it is difficult to estimate the recoverableamount of individual assets, the Company will determine the recoverable amount of the asset group on the basis ofthe asset group to which the asset belongs. Asset group refers to the smallest asset portfolio which can independentlygenerate cash inflows.When an impairment test is performed on the goodwill separately listed in the financial statement, book value ofsuch goodwill is apportioned to the asset group or combination of asset groups that can benefit from the synergyeffect of business combination. If the test result shows that the recoverable amount of the asset group or combinationof asset groups is lower than their book value, corresponding impairment losses on goodwill will be recognized.The impairment loss shall first offset against the book value of goodwill that is apportioned to asset group or acombination of asset groups, and then offset against the book value of assets excluding goodwill in the asset groupor the combination of asset groups on a pro-rata basis according to the proportion of their book value.Once the aforementioned asset impairment loss is recognized, it will not be reversed in subsequent accountingperiods even if the value can be recovered.

32. Long-term unamortized expenses

Long-term unamortized expenses are expenses which have been incurred but shall be amortized over a period longerthan one year, including the reporting period and the future periods. Long-term unamortized expenses of theCompany mainly include office building decoration costs, sewage use rights and electricity use rights. Long-termunamortized expenses shall be amortized based on the straight-line method over the expected benefit period.

33. Contract liabilities

A contract liability is the Company’s obligation to transfer goods to a customer for which the Company has received

consideration from the customer. If the customer has paid contract consideration or the Company has obtained theunconditional right of collection before the Company transfer goods to the customer, the amount received or thereceivable is recognized as contract liability at the earlier of the time when the customer actual pays the amount andwhen the amount becomes due. Contract assets and contract liabilities under the same contract are presented on anet basis; contract assets and contract liabilities under different contracts are not offset.

34. Employee remuneration

(1) Accounting treatment method for short-term remuneration

Short-term remuneration includes salaries, bonuses, allowances and subsidies, employee welfare, medical insurancefees, maternity insurance fees, employment injury insurance fees, housing provident funds, labor union fees, staffeducation funds, and non-monetary welfare. The Company shall, within the accounting period when its employeesprovide service, recognize actual short-term remuneration as liabilities which shall be recognized as profit and lossof the current period or relevant asset costs. Wherein, non-monetary benefits are measured at fair value.

(2) Accounting treatment method for post-employment benefits

Post-employment benefit includes basic endowment insurance, unemployment insurance, etc. It also includesdefined contribution plans. Where defined contribution plans are adopted, the corresponding amount payable shallbe recognized as profit and loss of the current period or relevant asset costs in which it is incurred.

(3) Accounting treatment method for dismissal benefits

If the Company terminates the labor relationship with an employee before the employee’s labor contract expires, orproposes to give the employee compensation for encouraging the employee to voluntarily accept dismissal, theliabilities arising from the compensation giving to the employee for the termination of the labor relationship withthe employee shall be recognized as profit and loss of the current period, when the Company cannot unilaterallywithdraw the termination of the labor relationship plan or the dismissal proposal, or when it recognizes the costsrelated to the restructuring of the payment of the dismissal benefits, whichever is earlier. However, if it is expectedthat the dismissal benefits cannot be paid in full within twelve months after the end of the annual reporting period,they shall be accounted for according to other long-term employee remunerations.Internal retirement schemes for employees shall be accounted for following the same principles of the abovedismissal benefits. Where the salaries and social insurance fees of early retirees to be paid by the Company fromthe date when employees stop providing services to the normal retirement date meet the recognition conditions forprojected liabilities, they shall be recognized as profit and loss of the current period.

(4) Accounting treatment method for other long-term employee benefits

Other long-term benefits provided by the Company to employees that meet the conditions of the defined contributionplan are accounted for in accordance with the defined contribution plan; other long-term benefits are accounted forin accordance with the defined benefit plan.

35. Lease liabilities

Recognition and accounting treatment methods of lease liabilities are detailed in "Note V (42) Leases".

36. Provision

An obligation related to contingent issues and meeting the following conditions shall be deemed a provision: (1)such an obligation is a current one assumed by the Company; (2) fulfilling such an obligation might cause economicbenefits to flow out of the Company; and (3) the amount of such an obligation is measurable reliably.On the balance sheet date, a provision is measured at the best estimate of the expenditure required to settle therelated present obligation, with comprehensive consideration of factors such as the risks, uncertainty and time valueof money relating to a contingency.A provision is separately recognized as an asset and the recognized compensation amount shall not exceed the bookvalue of the provision, when all or part of the expenses required to pay off the provision are expected to becompensated by a third party and the amount of compensation is basically determined to be receivable.

37. Share-based payment

Share-based payment is the transaction made through granting equity instruments or bearing the liabilitiesrecognized based on such instruments in exchange for services rendered by employees or other parties. TheCompany’s share-based payment includes equity-settled share-based payment and cash-settled share-basedpayment.

(1) Equity-settled share-based payment

Where the share payment is settled through equity for acquisition of service from employees, it shall be measuredat the fair value of the equity instruments granted to the employees. If the right cannot be exercised until the vestingperiod ends or until the prescribed performance conditions are met, the amount of such fair value shall, based onthe best estimate of the number of vested equity instruments, be recognized as the relevant costs or expenses bystraight-line method; if the right can be exercised immediately following the grant, the amount of such fair valueshall be recognized as the relevant costs or expenses on the grant date, and the capital reserve shall be increasedaccordingly.On each balance sheet date within the vesting period, the Company carries out the best estimation based on suchfollow-up information such as the variation of the number of vested staff acquired recently, and revises the numberof estimated vested equity instruments. The impact of the above estimates shall be recognized as the relevant costsor expenses of the current period, and the capital reserve shall be adjusted accordingly.For an equity-settled share-based payment in return for the service of any other party, if the fair value of the serviceof any other party can be reliably measured, it shall be measured at the fair value of the service of any other partyon the acquisition date; if the fair value of the service of any other party cannot be reliably measured, but the fairvalue of the equity instruments can be reliably measured, it shall be measured at the fair value of the equityinstruments on the acquisition date and included in the relevant costs or expenses, and the shareholders’ equity shallbe increased correspondingly.

(2) Cash-settled share payment

The cash-settled share-based payment shall be measured at the fair value of the Company’s liabilities determinedbased on shares or other equity instruments. If the right may be exercised immediately after the grant, relevant costsor expenses shall be recognized the grant date, and the liabilities shall be increased accordingly. If the right may notbe exercised until the vesting period ends or until the specified performance conditions are met, on each balancesheet date within the vesting period, the services obtained in the current period shall, based on the best estimate ofthe information about the exercisable right, be recognized as the relevant costs or expenses at the fair value of theliability undertaken by the Company, and liabilities shall be increased accordingly.The fair value of liabilities is re-measured and any change thereto is recognized as profit and loss of the currentperiod on each balance sheet date and settlement date prior to settlement of the relevant liabilities.

39. Revenue

Accounting policy for recognition and measurement of revenue

Revenue is the total inflow of economic benefits unrelated to the capital invested by the shareholders which areformed in the daily activities of the Company and can lead to an increase in shareholders’ equity. The revenue isrecognized when the customers take control of the relevant goods (including services, same for below) if the contractbetween the Company and the customers meet all the following conditions: 1) the parties to the contract haveapproved such contract and undertake to perform their respective obligations; 2) the contract has specified the rightsand obligations of the parties thereto and in connection with the transfer of goods or provision of labor services; 3)the contract sets out clear payment terms related to the transfer of goods; 4) the contract has commercial substance,meaning that the performance thereof will change the risk, time distribution or amount of the Company’s futurecash flow; 5) the Company is very likely to recover the consideration obtained by transferring goods to customers.Wherein, taking control of relevant goods means being able to control the use of the goods and obtain almost alleconomic benefits therefrom.On the enforcing date of the contract, the Company identifies all individual performance obligations in the contract,and apportions the transaction price to each individual performance obligation according to the relative proportionof the individual selling price of the goods. When determining the transaction price, the Company has consideredthe impact of such factors including variable consideration, major financing component of the contract, non-cashconsideration, and consideration payable to the customer.With respect to each individual performance obligation of the contract, the Company will recognize the transactionprice apportioned to such obligation as revenue based on the progress of performance during the relevantperformance periods, if any of the following conditions is met: 1) the customer obtains and consumes the economicbenefits brought by the Company’s performance during such performance; 2) the customer can control the goodsin progress during the Company’s performance; 3) the goods produced from the Company’s performance hasirreplaceable use, and in respect of the portion of revenue arising from the Company’s performance completed todate, the Company is entitled to collect revenue during the entire validity period of the contract. The progress ofperformance is determined according to the nature of the transferred goods using the input or output method. Whensuch progress cannot be reasonably determined, if the costs incurred are expected to be compensated, the Companyrecognizes revenue based on the amount of costs incurred, until the progress of performance can be reasonablydetermined.

If none of the aforesaid conditions is met, the Company will recognize the transaction price apportioned to suchindividual performance obligation when the customer obtains the control over relevant goods. To decide whetherthe customer has obtained the control over goods, the Company takes into account the following indications: 1) theenterprise has the present right to collection for the goods, meaning the customer bears the present obligation topayment for the goods; 2) the enterprise has passed the legal title to the goods to the customer, meaning the customerhas had the legal title to the goods; 3) the enterprise has transferred the physical possession of the goods to thecustomer, meaning the customer has had the physical possession of the goods; 4) the enterprise has transferred themajor risks and remunerations concerning the title to the goods to the customer, meaning the customer has obtainedthe major risks and remunerations concerning the title to the goods; 5) the customer has accepted the goods; 6) otherindications to show that the customer has obtained the control over the goods.Generally, the Company’s business of goods selling only comprises the performance obligation of transferring thegoods. The control of the goods is transferred when they are sent out and the Company receives the signed receiptand other documents from the customer, so the Company confirms the realization of revenue at that point in time.The discounts, rewards and other arrangements in some contracts between the Company and customers constitutevariable consideration. The Company uses the expected value method or the most likely amount to determine thebest estimates for variable consideration, but the transaction price containing variable consideration shall not exceedthe amount of cumulatively recognized revenue that is unlikely to have major reversals when the relevantuncertainties are eliminated.Different business models are adopted for different businesses, which may lead to the differences in the accountingpolicy for recognition of revenue.None

40. Government grants

Government grants are monetary or non-monetary assets acquired by the Company from the government free ofcharge, excluding the capital invested by the government as an investor and granted corresponding owner’s equity.Government grants are classified into government grants related to assets and government grants related to income.The Company defines the government grants for purchasing or constructing or otherwise forming long-term assetsas asset-related government grants; other government grants are defined as the income-related government grants.Government grants shall be measured at the amount received or receivable if they are monetary assets. Non-monetary government grants shall be measured at fair value; if the fair value cannot be reliably obtained, they shallbe measured at the nominal amount. The government grants measured at the nominal amount shall be directlyrecognized as the profit and loss of the current period.Asset-related government grants are recognized as deferred income, and included in the profit and loss of the currentperiod in stages according to a reasonable and systematic method over the service life of the relevant assets. Theincome-related government grants shall be recognized as deferred income if they are used to compensate relevantexpenses or losses in subsequent periods, and shall be recognized as profit and loss of the current period during therecognition of related expenses; the grants used to compensate related expenses or losses already incurred shall bedirectly recognized as profit and loss of the current period.The government grants related to both assets and income shall be accounted for by distinguishing different parts; ifit is difficult to distinguish, they shall be, as a whole, classified as income-related government grants.Government grants related to the Company’s daily activities shall be recognized as other profit and loss or writedown relevant costs according to the essence of economic business; those unrelated to the Company’s daily activities

shall be recognized as non-operating income and expenditure.If the recognized government grants need to be returned and there is relevant deferred income balance, the bookbalance of relevant deferred income shall be written off, and the excess shall be recognized as profit and loss of thecurrent period; otherwise, government grants shall be directly recognized as profit and loss of the current period.

41. Deferred income tax assets/deferred income tax liabilities

(1) Current income tax

On the balance sheet date, the Company measures a current tax liability (or asset) arising from the current and priorperiods based on the amount of income tax expected to be paid by the Company (or returned by tax authority)calculated by related tax laws. The taxable income which is the basis for calculation of the current income tax iscalculated after appropriate adjustments to the pretax accounting profits for the reporting period.

(2) Deferred income tax assets and deferred income tax liabilities

For the difference between the book value of certain assets and liabilities and their tax bases, and the temporarydifferences between the book values and the tax bases of items, of which the tax bases can be determined for taxpurposes according to the tax laws but which have not been recognized as assets and liabilities, the Companyrecognizes deferred income tax assets and deferred income tax liabilities using the balance sheet debt method.Where the taxable temporary differences arise from the initial recognition of goodwill and the initial recognition ofan asset or liability arising from the transaction that is not a business combination, nor, at the time of the transaction,affects neither accounting profit and taxable profit (or deductible loss), the relevant deferred income tax liabilityshall not be recognized. Additionally, in respect of taxable temporary difference associated with investments insubsidiaries, joint ventures and associates, where the Company can control the timing of the reversal of thetemporary differences and it is probable that the temporary differences will not be reversed in the foreseeable future,the relevant deferred income tax liability shall not be recognized. Other than the above exceptions, the Companyshall recognize deferred income tax liabilities arising out from all other taxable temporary differences.Where the deductible temporary differences arise from the initial recognition of an asset or liability arising from thetransaction that is not a business combination, nor, at the time of the transaction, affects neither accounting profitand taxable profit (or deductible loss), the relevant deferred income tax liability shall not be recognized. Additionally,in respect of deductible temporary difference associated with investments in subsidiaries, joint ventures andassociates, where it is probable that the temporary differences will not be reversed in the foreseeable future ortaxable profit will not be available against which the deductible temporary differences can be utilized in the future,the relevant deferred income tax liability shall not be recognized. Other than the above exceptions, the Companyrecognizes a deferred tax asset for other deductible temporary differences, to the extent that it is probable that futuretaxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences can be utilized.The tax effects of deductible losses and taxes available for carrying over are recognized as an asset when it isprobable that future taxable profits would be available against which these losses can be utilized.At the balance sheet date, deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to applyto the period when the asset is realized or the liability is settled, according to the requirements of tax laws.The book value of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the balance sheet date and written down to the extent that it isno longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available in future periods to allow the deferred tax assetsto be utilized. Such write-down is reversed when it becomes probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available.

(3) Income tax expenses

Income taxes comprise current income tax and deferred income tax.The current income tax and deferred income tax expense or income is recognized as the profit and loss of the currentperiod except that the current income tax and deferred income tax is related to transactions or events, which arerecognized as other comprehensive income or directly recognized as shareholders’ equity, and thus recognized asother comprehensive income or shareholders’ equity, and that the book value of goodwill is adjusted due to deferredincome tax arising from business combination.

42. Leases

A lease is a contract whereby the Company assigns or acquires the right to control the use of one or more identifiedassets for a specified period in exchange for or with payment of consideration. The Company evaluates whether acontract is a lease or contains a lease at its inception date.

(1) The Company as the lessee

Main types of assets leased by the Company are properties and buildings.

① Initial measurement

Except for short-term leases or low-value asset leases, the Company recognizes the right to use the leased assetduring the lease term as a right-of-use asset and recognizes the present value of unpaid lease payments as a leaseliability. When calculating the present value of lease payments, the Company adopts the interest rate implicit in thelease as the discount rate; if the interest rate implicit in the lease cannot be determined, the lessee’s incrementalborrowing rate is used as the discount rate.

② Follow-up measurement

The Company depreciates the right-of-use assets with reference to relevant depreciation provisions specified in theAccounting Standards for Business Enterprises No. 4 - Fixed Assets (see "Note V ((24) Fixed Assets"). If it isreasonably ascertained that the ownership of the asset will be transferred to the lessee at the end of the lease term,then depreciation period runs to the end of the useful life of the lease asset. If it cannot be reasonably ascertainedthat the ownership of the leased asset will be transferred to the lessee at the end of the lease term, then depreciationperiod runs to the earlier of the end of the useful life of the asset or the end of the lease term.For lease liabilities, the Company calculates its interest expenses in each period of the lease term at a fixed periodicinterest rate which is included in the profit and loss of the current period. Variable lease payments that are notincluded in the measurement of lease liabilities are included in the current profit and loss when they are actuallyincurredAfter the commencement date of the lease term, when there is a change in the actual fixed payment amount, achange in the estimated payable amount of the guaranteed residual value, a change in the index or ratio used todetermine the lease payment amount, or a change in the evaluation results or actual exercise of the purchase option,renewal option or termination option, the Company re-measures the lease liability according to the present value ofthe changed lease payments and adjusts the book value of the right-of-use asset accordingly. If the book value ofthe right-of-use asset has been reduced to zero but the lease liability still needs to be further reduced, the Companyincludes the remaining amount in the profit and loss of the current period.

③ Short-term leases and low-value asset leases

For short-term leases (leases with a term of not more than 12 months since the lease commencement date) and low-

value asset leases Lease liabilities, the Company adopts a simplified approach, i.e. Not recognizing as right-of-useassets but as the cost of the related asset or as profit and loss of the current period in accordance with the straight-line method or other systematically reasonable methods during each period of the lease.

(2) The Company as the lessor

On the lease commencement date, the company divides leases into finance leases and operating leases based on thesubstance of the transaction. Leases of assets where substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership have beentransferred are classified as finance leases. Other leases than the finance leases are classified as operating leases.i. Operating leaseThe Company adopts the straight-line method to recognize lease receipts from operating leases as rental income foreach period of the lease term. Variable lease payments related to operating leases that are not included in leasereceipts are included in the current profit and loss when they are actually incurred.ii. Finance leaseThe company recognizes the finance lease receivables and derecognizes the finance lease assets on thecommencement date of the lease term. The financial lease receivables are initially measured by the net investmentin the lease (the sum of the unguaranteed residual value and the present value of the lease receipts not yet receivedat the beginning of the lease term, discounted at the interest rate implicit in the lease), while interest income iscalculated and recognized according to the fixed periodic interest rate in each period of the lease term. Variablelease payments obtained by the Company that are not included in the measurement of the net value of lease liabilitiesare included in the current profit and loss when they are actually incurred.

X. Risks Associated with Financial InstrumentsThe main financial instruments of the Company include monetary funds, notes receivable, accounts receivable,notes payable, accounts payable, other payables, loans, etc. Please refer to relevant items of "Note VII" for detailedinformation of all financial instruments. The risks associated with these financial instruments and the riskmanagement policies adopted by the Company to reduce these risks are as follows. The management of theCompany manages and monitors these risk exposures to ensure that the above risks are kept within control.The Company adopts the sensitivity analysis method to analyze the possible impact of reasonable and possiblechanges in risk variables on the profit and loss or shareholder equities in the current period. Since any risk variablerarely changes in isolation and the correlation between the variables will have a significant effect on the ultimatefinancial impact of changes in a certain risk variable, the following contents are under the consumption that changesof a variable are independent.The goal of the Company’s risk management is to strike a proper balance between risks and gains and to minimizethe negative impact of risks on the business performance of the Company while maximizing the interests ofshareholders and other equity investors. Based on this risk management goal, the basic strategy of the Company’s

risk management is to determine and analyze all kinds of risks faced by the Company, clarify the minimum of riskacceptance and conduct risk management, and monitor risks of all kinds in a timely and reliable manner to controlrisks within the limits.

1. Credit risk

Credit risk refers to the risk of financial losses of one party caused by the failure of the other party to perform itsobligations. As of June 30, 2023, the largest credit exposure that may cause financial losses to the Company mainlycomes from the losses of the Company’s financial assets due to failure of the other contractual party to perform itsobligations.In order to reduce credit risk, the Company only conducts transactions with recognized customers with good creditstatus, and continuously monitors the accounts receivable through credit monitoring of existing customers and aginganalysis to ensure that the Company does not face the risk of bad debts and keep the overall credit risk within control.Liquid funds of the Company are deposited in banks with high credit ratings, so the credit risk of liquid funds islow.

2. Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk refers to the risk of fluctuations in the fair value or future cash flow of financial instruments due tochanges in market interest rates. The interest rate risk faced by the Company mainly comes from bank borrowings.By developing a good relationship with banks and carrying out proper design of credit lines, types of credits, andcredit terms, the Company ensures sufficient bank credit lines to meet its various financing needs. The risk of interestrate fluctuation can be reasonably reduced by shortening the term of a single loan and specially stipulating earlyprepayment terms.

3. Foreign exchange risk

Foreign exchange risk refers to the risk of fluctuations in the fair value or future cash flow of financial instrumentsdue to changes in foreign exchange rates. The Company tries its best to match foreign currency income with foreigncurrency expenditure to reduce foreign exchange risks.Foreign exchange risks borne by the Company are mainly related to USD and HKD. Except for purchasing andselling in USD and HKD by its overseas subsidiaries, other major business activities of the Company are priced andsettled in RMB. See "Note VII (82)" for the conversion of foreign currency financial assets and liabilities into RMBas of June 30, 2023. During the reporting period, the Company generated exchange profit and loss of RMB-18,928,998.16.Sensitivity analysis of foreign exchange risk:

Analysis assumption: On the basis that all other variables remain constant on the balance sheet date, the possible,reasonable changes of foreign exchange rate will have the following pre-tax effects on the Company’s profit andloss and shareholders’ equity in the current period:

Unit:RMB

ItemEnd of year
Impact on profitImpact on shareholders’ equity
Appreciation of RMB against foreign currency by 1.00%-3,386,717.77-3,386,717.77
Depreciation of RMB against foreign currency by 1.00%3,386,717.773,386,717.77

4. Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk refers to the risk of capital shortage when an enterprise fulfills its obligation to settle accounts bydelivering cash or other financial assets. The Company’s policy is to ensure that it has sufficient cash to repaymature debts. Liquidity risk is centrally controlled by the financial departments of the Company. The financialdepartments monitor cash balances, negotiable securities that can be cashed in at any time, and carry out rolling

forecasts on cash flows in the next six months to ensure that the Company has sufficient funds to repay debts underall reasonable forecasts.Financial liabilities held by the Company as of June 30, 2023 analyzed based on the maturity period of undiscountedremaining contractual obligations are as follows:
