Lysinemeans2,6-Diaminohexanoic acid, the only amino acid with side-chain primary amine in proteins. It is an amino acid and ketogenic amino acid essential for mammals. The common L-lysine is one of the 20 amino acids that make up proteins. Depending on content, lysine is classified into L-lysine hydrochloride (commonly known as the 98% lysine) and L-lysine sulfate (commonly known as the 70% lysine). The addition of lysine to feed improves meat quality, increases the ratio of lean, and refines meat texture. It increases the utilization of feed proteins and reduce the dosage of crude protein. It also reduces piglet diarrhea, cuts feeding costs, and increases economic returns.
Threoninemeans2-Amino-3-hydroxybutanoic acid, an aliphatic α-amino acid that contains an alcoholic hydroxyl. It is an amino acid and ketogenic amino acid essential for mammals. The common L-threonine is one of the 20 amino acids that make up proteins. Threonine is an essential amino acid. Threonine is often added to the feed for piglets and poultry. It is the first limiting amino acid in pig feed and the third limiting amino acid in poultry feed.
Valinemeans2-amino-3-methylbutanoic acid, a branched-chain non-polar α-amino acid that contains five carbon atoms. It is an amino acid and glycogenic amino acid essential for mammals. The common L-valine is one of the 20 amino acids that make up proteins. The addition of valine to sow feed can help increase lactation yield. It also helps improve animals’ immunity and affects endocrine.
Starch byproduct protein powder, feed fiber, germ, mycoprotein, etc.meansCorn gluten meal is a byproduct of the manufacture of starch from maize grain in the food industry or its purification in the brewing industry. It is rich in protein nutrients, has a special taste and color, and can be used as feed. Corn husk powder (feed fiber) is a byproduct of the manufacturing process of manufacturers engaged in the deep processing of corn. It is produced from maize grains being soaked, put into starch production, washed, squeezed, and dried. Its main components include fiber, starch, and proteins.
Food taste and trait improving productsmeansThe food additives (flavor enhancers) produced by the Company. It refers to artificial or natural substances that are added to food for the purpose of improving food quality, color, smell, and taste, as well as for preservation and processing.
MSGmeans99% MSG refers to monosodium glutamate. The key composition of MSG is glutamic acid monosodium salt, which is produced from the microbial fermentation, purification, and refinement of saccharic or starch raw materials. The finished product is white columnar crystal or crystalline powder. As a basic flavoring agent, MSG not only enhances the taste of dishes and stimulates appetite but also stimulates the secretion of digestive juice, thereby helping food digestion and absorption in human bodies.
Disodium 5’-ribonucleotidemeansa substance composed of disodium 5’-inosine (IMP) and disodium 5’-guanosine (GMP) in a 1:1 proportion. It is mostly used in condiments or condiment blends with MSG to enhance taste.
Disodium inosinatemeansis a flavor enhancer produced from glucose as the key raw material through microbial fermentation, extraction, and refinement.
Trehalosemeansa safe and reliable natural sugar with the superb ability to maintain cell viability and biomacromolecular activity. It is known as the “sugar of life” in the science community. With a moderately sweet taste, it serves as a unique food ingredient that prevents food deterioration, inhibits nutrient deterioration, preserves food flavors, and improves food quality. It is also an important ingredient for cosmetics that maintain cell viability and preserve moisture. It is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA.
Amino acids for human medical purposesmeansare also known as pharmaceutical amino acids. The Company’s pharmaceutical amino acids are mainly divided into two parts. One is amino acid products, including L-glutamine, branched-chain amino acids (L-isoleucine, L-valine, and L-leucine), and L-proline, etc., which are mainly used as upstream raw materials for sports nutrition food, food for special medical purposes, and drugs. The other part is pharmaceutical intermediate raw materials, including L-proline and nucleoside (inosine, guanosine, and adenosine), which are mainly used as upstream raw materials for drugs that treat chronic diseases (such as hypertension, diabetes, hepatitis B, etc.).
ProlinemeansL-proline (known as proline for short) is one of the 18 amino acids for the human body to synthesize proteins. It is an important raw material for amino acid transfusions as well as a key intermediate for synthesizing first-line antihypertensive drugs, such as captopril and enalapril. It is widely applied in food and pharmaceutical industries. The Company produces L-proline through corn fermentation, which is free of all the chemical reagents added in synthesis and is thus safer.
Glutaminemeanswith the scientific name of 2-amino-4-formamide butyric acid, is the amide of glutamic acid. L-glutamine is the coding amino acid in protein synthesis and an amino acid essential for mammals. In vivo, it can be converted from glucose. Glutamine prevents muscle breakdown and promotes muscle growth. It is an important nutrition supplement for bodybuilders and bodybuilding enthusiasts. It also improves human immunity and antioxidant capacity. It has superb healthcare and even medical effects for the gastrointestinal and digestive systems.
IsoleucinemeansL-isoleucine is one of the 20 common amino acids that make up proteins. It contains two asymmetric carbon atoms and is an amino acid and ketogenic amino acid essential for mammals.
LeucinemeansL-leucine is one of the 20 common amino acids that make up proteins. It is an amino acid and a ketogenic and glycogenic amino acid essential for mammals. Leucine, isoleucine, and valine are all branched-chain amino acids, which help promote muscle recovery after training. In particular, leucine is a very effective branched-chain amino acid that effectively prevents muscle loss as it is able to break down faster into glucose.
Pullulanmeansa water-soluble polysaccharide produced from the fermentation of Aureobasidium pullulans. Pullulan can be processed into a variety of products. With superb film-forming properties, it forms highly stable pullulan film. It also has excellent oxygen isolation performance. In pharmaceutical and food industries, it is widely used in capsule molding agents, thickeners, adhesives,
and food packaging. Pullulan has been used as food accessories for more than 20 years in Japan and is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA.
Xanthan gummeansa monospore polysaccharide from the fermentation of pseudoxanthomonas. It offers many functions due to its special macromolecular structure and colloidal characteristics. It is widely used in different fields as emulsifiers, stabilizers, gel thickeners, impregnating compounds, and film molding agents. Xanthan gum is a microbial polysaccharide in mass production with broad applications around the world.
Bio-organic fertilizersmeans

the fertilizers containing organic substances that provide multiple inorganicand organic nutrients for crops and fertilize and improve soil.

Fermentationmeansa reaction process in which massive metabolites are produced and accumulated through the growth and chemical changes of microorganisms (or animal/plant cells).
Traditional fermentationmeansmainly involves matrix conversion (the converted matrix is the product itself). Traditional fermentation gives unique tastes and nutrients to the product and changes the texture of the product, such as the fermentation process involved in the production of wine, bread, yogurt, fermented beancurd, and pickled vegetables. Traditional fermentation is generally natural fermentation. In this case, there are many kinds of fermentation microorganisms, and it is usually impossible to conduct pure culture. The specific microorganism types and proportions are not even known. There is also traditional fermentation involving pure microorganisms.
Precision fermentationmeansa process that uses microorganisms as cell factories to produce specific functional components. In general terms, precision fermentation is a process of genetic reprogramming. It is synthetic biology. Scientists change the genes of selected microorganisms based on specific designs, and their genes are programmed to produce specific fermentation products.

Section 3 Discussion and Analysis by the Management

I. Discussion and Analysis of Business Performance

In the face of complicated domestic and foreign environments during the Reporting Period, theCompany continued to focus on its main business under the leadership of the Board, centered around thestrategic goal of building a leading enterprise in synthetic biology. The Company made efforts to improveboth technology and management and develop high-end manufacturing through standard, automatic, andfine management and operations, thereby achieving high-quality development.During the Reporting Period, the Company increased R&D spending and beefed up technologicalupgrades. New strains for the production of glutamic acid, anaerobic valine, and glutamine were put intoproduction at the production bases, and new techniques for the production of lysine and threonine achievedtechnological improvements, reducing production costs substantially. During the Reporting Period, theCompany’s new projects concerning xanthan gum, threonine, and raw material ammonia reached theplanned capacity and efficiency, contributing to the continuous expansion of the Company’s business andfurther improving its competitiveness. In 2023, the Company used the Manufacturing Execution System(MES) to create opportunities, refined the production management policies and processes, built the whole-process monitoring of production order, and continuously implemented the concept of “operations,creation, and sharing by all,” thus achieving growth shared by the Company and its employees.During the Reporting Period, the Company registered a revenue of 27.761 billion yuan, basicallyequal the previous year. The net profit attributable to the shareholders of the listed company reached 3.181billion yuan, down 27.81% year-on-year. The decrease in revenue and in net profit was mainly caused bydeclining product prices. By product, during the Reporting Period, the sales volumes of the knockoutproducts, which are lysine hydrochloride (98% lysine), lysine sulfate (70% lysine), and threonine,increased by 6.91%, 3.93%, and 24.33%, respectively, but their selling prices decreased by 16.75%,

10.41%, and 5.25% year-on-year, respectively. The falling prices caused a reduction in main business

revenue and profit. While experiencing industrial adjustments and price falls for its knockout products,the Company continued to strengthen the sales of star products, including xanthan gum and minor aminoacids. In 2023, both the sales volume and price of xanthan gum increased, with its sales volume up 26.86%year-on-year and its average selling price up 5.85% year-on-year. The sales volumes of medical aminoacids such as glutamine and proline grew by 12.74% and 13.40% year-on-year, respectively, while thesales volume of valine rose by 31.69%. During the Reporting Period, the Company maintained relativestability in revenue based on its matrix of multiple products.

(I) Significant breakthroughs in new projects, new products, and new technologies through thehiring of research professionals and the increase of R&D spendingIn 2023, the Company successfully hired nearly 40 professionals from prestigious domestic andforeign universities, including the Chinese Academy of Sciences (Tianjin Institute and the Institute ofMicrobiology), Tsinghua University, and Shanghai Jiao Tong University. They come from a variety ofcutting-edge fields, including gene editing, metabolic pathway design, fermentation engineering,enzymatic catalysis, and artificial intelligence. The Company completed the distribution of research forcesacross the whole industrial chain of synthetic biology by setting up doctoral laboratory teams named afterthe doctors’ names and building high-calibre supporting platforms that cover metabolic pathway design,gene editing and bacteria strain construction, enzyme engineering modifications, production applicationdevelopment, and precision fermentation.During the Reporting Period, the Company continued to increase R&D spending and strengthentechnological upgrades, thereby steadily advancing the development of new projects, new products, andnew technologies. Through constant scientific research, new strains for the production of glutamic acid,anaerobic valine, and glutamine, as well as new techniques for the production of lysine and threonine weresuccessfully put into production at the production bases in 2023, bringing an additional annualized returnof nearly 200 million yuan. The new bacterium for the production of glutamic acid independentlydeveloped by the Company was put into production at all production bases within a quarter, cutting theproduction cost per ton by nearly 100 yuan and providing substantial support for boosting productcompetitiveness on the market. During the Reporting Period, the anaerobic fermentation technologydeveloped by the Company in collaboration with external research institutions markedly improved themetabolism efficiency of microbial strains to an industrial leading level. Compared with traditionaltechnologies, the new technology features a more streamlined process and brings higher productionefficiency and excellent product quality while having a considerably lower impact on the environment.Through the mechanism of developing and selecting R&D professionals, the Company leveraged itsplatform and policy edges to motivate the creativity of its team members and further consolidate its corecompetitiveness.

During the Reporting Period, the Company included intellectual property distribution and protectionas a critical part of its corporate strategy in its R&D work. In 2023, the Company participated in globalintellectual property distribution through deep cooperation with domestic and foreign professionalinstitutions, which effectively strengthened the whole-chain protection and management efficacy of

Explanation of main business performance by industry, product, region, and sales model

1) During the Reporting Period, the Company’s revenue from the sales of amino acids for animalnutrition was down by 2.46 percentage points year-on-year, and gross profit margin down 10.98percentage points year-on-year. Main reasons: The prices of threonine, lysine, and byproducts of majorraw materials dropped, causing a decrease in revenue and gross profit margin.

2) During the Reporting Period, the Company’s revenue from the sales of amino acids for humanmedical purposes was up by 2.25 percentage points year-on-year, and gross profit margin down 6.56percentage points year-on-year. The increased sales volumes of products such as glutamine and prolinebrought an increase in revenue. The drop in gross profit margin was caused by falling product prices duringthe Reporting Period.

3) During the Reporting Period, the Company’s revenue from the sales of food taste and traitimproving products was down by 2.64 percentage points year-on-year, and gross profit margin up 1.25percentage points year-on-year. The decrease in revenue was mainly caused by falling product prices, andtechnological improvements caused a drop in costs, thereby increasing the gross profit margin.

4) During the Reporting Period, the Company’s revenue from the sales of other products was up by

14.46 percentage points year-on-year, and gross profit margin down 3.52 percentage points. The increasein revenue was mainly caused by an increase in both the sales volume and price of petroleum-gradexanthan gum, and the drop in gross profit margin was mainly caused by a drop in fertilizers and the priceof liquid ammonia and an increase in costs.

1. Main raw materials - analysis of change in corn market

The Company produces products using corn as a raw material and coal as an energy sourceto providethe heat required for production. Corn accounts for more than 50% of all materials. Hence, changes in thecorn price have a direct impact on the production costs of the Company’s products.The corn price trend is associated with a number of factors, including the national collection andstorage policy, the prices of feed substitutes, including soybeans/wheat/barley, the demand of thedownstream breeding industry, the international political and economic situations, and even changes inethanol/gasoline prices. The Company acquires the corn required for production mainly through domesticpurchases.

Changes in the average price of corn during the period from 2010 until now are shown as follows:

Data source: Wind

According to a Boyar report, China produced 289 million tons of corn in 2023, hitting a record, withthe per unit yield growing by 1.5%. Meanwhile, to avoid geopolitical risk, China is continuouslypromoting the import of corn from diverse sources. During the Reporting Period, Brazilian corn enteredthe Chinese market and became China’s top import country in place of the United States; imports of SouthAfrican corn increased. In the context of falling global grain prices and the tight balance between supplyand demand in China, domestic and foreign grain prices were closely associated. In 2023, the domesticcorn price fell with great volatility. In the first half of 2023, China imported massive amounts of corn fromthe United States and Brazil. Coupled with the concentrated release of bearish factors, including theincreased supply of moist grain in grassroots production areas and the wheat price drop to 1.3 yuan/jin,the domestic corn price fell for five consecutive months. In May 2023, the average corn price dropped bymore than 150 yuan/ton compared with the price at the beginning of the year. In the third quarter, the pricequickly soared due to the supply shortage period. In September, the average corn price soared to 2,879

yuan/ton, reaching its peak in the year; in the fourth quarter, with the release of new grain alongside anexpected harvest, the market bearish sentiment became stronger, with future and spot prices of corndropping substantially. In December, dominant contracts fell to 2,364 yuan/ton, and the spot priceapproached 2,500 yuan/ton, a record low for three years. Overall, the domestic average corn price was2,775 yuan/ton in 2023, down 1.39% year-on-year.In terms of corn purchase, based on the geographical locations and market characteristics of itsproduction bases, the Company adopts a combination of purchase models, including collection and storage,market purchase, participation in the auctions of state-owned grain depots, and direct purchase fromfarmers. The proportion of each model in total purchases can be adjusted timely. Corn consumption bythe Xinjiang Base is estimated to account for about 30% of the local annual corn supply. Also, in view ofthe unique location and corn supply of the Xinjiang Base, from the fourth quarter of 2022 to the thirdquarter of 2023, the base purchased corn in the collection and storage model to ensure the supply of rawmaterials required for routine production. Upon the end of the purchase season, the market price of corndropped, causing the storage cost to be higher than the spot price of corn. As a result, the corn purchase atthe Xinjiang production base failed to outperform the market. Tongliao and Baicheng production basesare closer to the major corn production areas of the northeast and have a longer purchase season. On thebasis of collection and storage, the Company flexibly used a variety of models, including market purchase,auction, and direct purchase from farmers, which counteracted the impact of storage costs on productioncosts to a certain extent.

For the industry that the Company is engaged in, a sufficient corn supply is conducive to thesustainable and stable development of the industry. However, great fluctuations in the corn price mightresult in increasing uncertainties in the cost of raw materials for the industry.

2. Analysis of changes in products

Both the amino acid industry for animal nutrition and the MSG industry, which the Company isengaged in, are segmented areas of the biological fermentation industry. Products of the biologicalfermentation industry can be applied in a broad range of areas. Downstream applications include theprocessing of agricultural products, basic chemical engineering, food processing, feed-based breeding,medical and healthcare purposes, daily consumption, and bio-based materials. At present, the productsthat have been applied on a mass scale in the industry mainly include four categories. The first categoryis amino acids for animal nutrition, including lysine, threonine, methionine, valine, and tryptophan; thesecond category is food additives, including flavor enhancers such as MSG and I+G; the third category isbio-based materials, including emerging materials such as cadaverine and polylactic acid; the fourthcategory is medical amino acids and others, including minor amino acids such as glutamine, leucine,isoleucine, pharmaceutical valine, and proline, as well as nucleoside products such as inosine, guanosine,and adenosine.

The Company’s product lines cover the amino acids for animal nutrition and food additives in theaforementioned four categories. At the same time, the company also expands its business to include aminoacids for human medical purposes and other categories. The Company’s main products include feed and

food additives and flavor-enhancing condiments such as lysine, threonine, and MSG, as well as byproductssuch as organic fertilizers.On April 12, 2023, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs published the Three-Year ActionPlan for the Reduction and Substitution of Soybean Meal in Animal Feed (hereinafter referred to as the“Action Plan”), which further specifies the goal and pathway for the reduction and substitution of soybeanmeal. The Action Plan proposes the goal of continuously reducing the proportion of soybean meal,strengthening the development and utilization of protein feed resources, and increasing the supply ofquality feed grass. The implementation of the plan will help build a feed formula structure that fits thenational conditions and resource characteristics of China and establish a usable feed resource databasesystem, a low-protein, high-quality feed standard system, a high-efficiency feed processing andapplication technology system, and a feed industrial grain-saving policy support system. Therefore, thefeed conversion efficiency in the livestock and poultry breeding industry will be substantially improved,and obvious achievements will be delivered in grain conservation and reduction for the breeding industry.While ensuring stability in the production efficiency of livestock and poultry, the dosage of soybean mealin feed should drop by more than 0.5 percentage points every year. By 2025, it should drop to less than13%. A reduction in the dosage of soybean meal in feed will cause an increase in the dosage of mixedmeal. The addition of feed amino acids should be increased to ensure the overall amino acid balance infeed and improve feed efficiency. The soybean meal reduction plan has increased demand for feed aminoacids. With technological improvements and the expansion of production capacity, demand for minoramino acids will grow rapidly upon the decrease in their costs, thereby developing more space forformulation dosage.

(1) Lysine

According to the preliminary statistics of Boyar, the global production capacity for lysine (convertedto 98% lysine, which applies hereinafter) was 4.593 million tons in 2023, up 14.5%; China’s productioncapacity for lysine was 3.502 million tons, up 16.9% year-on-year. According to estimation, the globalproduction of lysine was 3.461 million tons in 2023, up 2.7% year-on-year; China’s production of lysinewas 2.825 million tons, up 10.7% year-on-year, which accounted for 81.6% of the global production, up

5.9 percentage points compared with 2022. In 2023, the operating rate for the global lysine industry wasabout 75.4%, down 8.7 percentage points year-on-year; the operating rate for China’s lysine industry was

80.7%, down 4.6 percentage points year-on-year.

According to the estimation of Boyar, the number of lysine manufacturers around the world reached20 in 2023. With production expansion in the existing enterprises and capacity optimization in somemanufacturers, the overall production capacity maintained growth, and industrial competition was fierceand market prices were weak. In the first half of 2023, lysine exports declined, and the average price of98% lysine was 8.69 yuan/kg, down 8.72% from the previous period and down 28.65% year-on-year; theaverage price of 70% lysine was 5.58 yuan/kg, down 13.49% from the previous period and down 15.84%year-on-year. In the second half of 2023, under the impact of the supply and demand landscape andmanufacturers’ sales strategies, the prices and profitability of lysine hydrochloride (98% lysine) and lysine

sulfate (70% lysine) presented different trends. Exports of 98% lysine increased, causing the price torebound and the industry to make profits. The supply of 70% lysine increased, causing a continuousdecrease in the price, and the industry remained at a loss for most of the months of the year (without theoffset of byproducts).The Company is the enterprise with the biggest production capacity for lysine. The falling lysineprice caused a decrease in the Company’s main business revenue and profit. In the future, the Companywill capitalize on its advantages in the production, technology, and sales of lysine to improve the overallprofitability of the lysine industry.

(2) Threonine

According to the statistics of Boyar, the global production capacity for threonine was 1.235 milliontons in 2023, up 17.3% year-on-year; China’s production capacity for threonine was 1.145 million tons,up 20.5% year-on-year. The global production of threonine was 950,000 tons, up 3.3% year-on-year;China’s production of threonine was 900,000 tons, up 7.1% year-on-year, accounting for 95% of the globalproduction of threonine. European customers overbought threonine previously. Hence, they mainlydigested their inventory in the first half of 2023. With the consumption of inventory in the first half of2023, China’s exports of threonine recovered. Hence, the exports were weak in the first half of 2023 andstrong in the second half. According to estimation, China exported 540,000 tons of threonine in 2023,representing a slight decrease of 0.9% year-on-year; the domestic supply was 360,000 tons, up 22% year-on-year.The threonine industry features a high concentration, with its supply concentration CR4 maintainingbetween 88% and 91% for five years in a row. To improve the profitability of the industry, the leadingenterprises raised the price and adopted a strategy of tie-in sales. The market price of threonine wasadjusted to a higher level from the third quarter onwards, causing the whole industry to make profits, andthe profits were getting bigger gradually, with the annual average profit growing by approximately 33%year-on-year.During the Reporting Period, a new production line at the Tongliao Base was put into production.After it was put into production, the Company’s market share of threonine globally was estimated to be40% to 45%. To sell as much as production and improve profits from products, the Company made plansin advance. Based on changes in supply and demand, the Company grasped favorable market opportunitiesto raise the price, providing support for gaining stable income and profits in 2023.

(3) Valine

The promotion of low-protein diet technology and the reduction and substitution of soybean meal arefurther boosting rapid growth in the consumption of minor amino acids, including tryptophan, arginine,valine, and isoleucine. With technological improvements and the expansion of production capacity, theprices of minor amino acids are getting reasonable, developing space for formulation dosage.

In 2023, the valine industry welcomed explosive growth in production capacity. According to thestatistics of Boyar, as of the end of 2023, there were 13 valine manufacturers, and the production capacityincreased to about 281,000 tons, causing the market supply to further exceed demand. In terms of the

product price, in the first half of 2023, the valine price remained high. From the third quarter onwards,due to an increase in market supply, the valine price at the end of July fell to 17 yuan/kg; in the samemonth, due to an increase in the soybean meal price, manufacturers’ quotations rebounded instead ofdropping further. However, due to the continuously weakening end-user demand, end users did not havea strong intention to place more orders. As of mid-to-late December, some manufacturers offer a quotationof less than 16 yuan/kg. In 2023, the average market price of valine was 23.03 yuan/kg, down 0.42% year-on-year. It is estimated that the production capacity for valine will continue to increase in 2024.

During the Reporting Period, the anaerobic fermentation technology developed by the Company incollaboration with external research institutions was implemented in production. It markedly improvedthe metabolism efficiency of microbial strains to an industrial leading level. Compared with traditionaltechnologies, the new technology features a more streamlined process and brings higher productionefficiency and excellent product quality while having a considerably lower impact on the environment.The fact that anaerobic valine products were put into production is a hallmark that the Company hasmastered both aerobic and anaerobic fermentation technologies in valine technology and production. Theincrease in production capacity for valine has enriched the Company’s product spectrum and improved itscompetitiveness in the amino acid industry.It is estimated that production capacity for minority amino acids will be at a stage of rapid growth inthe coming two years. While some projects might stagnate due to fast market changes, a substantialincrease in production capacity is bound to happen. Competition will drive technological improvementsand a decrease in cost and price, thus further developing room for more consumption of minority aminoacids.

VI. The Company’s Discussion and Analysis of its Future Development(I) Industrial Landscape and Trend

√ Applicable ?Not applicable

In recent years, the amino acid industry has developed rapidly, with a strong impetus for theexpansion of the global production capacity and increasingly fiercer industrial competition. By product,the industrial landscape for threonine and glutamic acid is relatively stable, while it requires furtherintegration for lysine because of the great number of manufacturers at home and abroad. For major aminoacids, the existing enterprises have a stronger voice in the industry due to their first mover’s advantage,scale advantage, and cost advantage; for minor amino acids, the promotion of low-protein diet technologyand the reduction and substitution of soybean meal further drive fast growth in the dosage of minor aminoacids, including tryptophan, arginine, valine, and isoleucine. With technological improvements and theexpansion of production capacity, demand for minor amino acids will grow rapidly upon the decrease intheir costs, thereby developing more space for formulation dosage. It is estimated that production capacityfor minority amino acids will be at a stage of rapid growth in the coming two years. While some projectsmight stagnate due to fast market changes, a substantial increase in production capacity is bound to happen.

With the development of synthetic biotechnology and the increasingly maturation of mass bio-manufacturing technology, enterprises are paying greater attention to spending on R&D technology and

intellectual property protection. The production of products is developing towards the high-qualitymanufacturing industry, and leading enterprises are starting to push for the development of information-based, intelligent, and standard factories.

(II) The Company’s Development Strategy

√ Applicable ?Not applicable

The Company’s development strategy remains unchanged: 1) focusing on the high-quality growth ofthe main business, striving to become a leading enterprise in synthetic biology, ensuring the sustainablegrowth of profitability, and becoming the most competitive industrial leader, and building a smart factoryand a lighthouse factory in the amino acid industry; 2) driven by both technology and management,strengthening the Company’s defense line through the concerted efforts of its R&D, supply, production,sales, and all functional departments; 3) persisting in creation and sharing, sticking to a customer-centeredapproach, and upholding the principle of integrity.The Company has large-scale bio-manufacturing capabilities, which are essential to applicationdevelopment and product implementation in synthetic biology and are scarce resources in syntheticbiology globally.

In 2024, the MSG production expansion projectat Tongliao Base and the project of technological improvements for isoleucine at Xinjiang Base will becompleted and put into production, and the conditions will be met for the commencement of the lysineproject at Jilin Base.

(IV) Potential Risks

√ Applicable ?Not applicable

1. Fluctuations in the prices of main products and risk of market competition

The prices of the Company’s main products, including threonine, lysine, and xanthan gum,experienced great fluctuations during the Reporting Period. At present, the market competition pattern ofthe industry that the Company is engaged in is relatively stable. However, all enterprises in the industryare expanding business vertically and horizontally to increase their market share of existing products andgain the first mover’s advantage for new products. The Company also has a plan to improve technologyor expand production capacity in 2024. In the future, product prices might drop substantially due to avariety of factors, including the prices of raw materials, fiercer market competition, and changes indownstream demand, which will have an adverse impact on the Company’s profitability.

As the Company’s business volume increases, its asset size will increase, and its service capabilitieswill improve, which will pose new tests to the Company’s existing management level, organizationalstructure, and business processes. In the future, if the Company’s management capabilities cannot keep upwith the expansion of its business scale or maintain high efficiency, it might be subject to risks such asrising operating costs and declining profitability.

2. Risk of overseas market sales

During the past three years, the Company’s revenue from overseas sales was 6.229 billion yuan, 8.65billion yuan, and 8.472 billion yuan, respectively, accounting for 27.68%, 31.18%, and 30.87% of themain business revenue, respectively. For overseas sales, the Company is required to comply with the lawsand regulations of the countries and regions where the customers are located, meet the local requirementsfor supplier qualifications, and conform to the customers’ requirements for products.

(1) Additional trade restrictions, increasing costs, and sanctions will have a negative impact on theCompany’s business in overseas regions. Specifically, the factors include imposing additional tariffs andimport duties, setting quotas and other non-tariff barriers, import and export restrictions, licenserestrictions, and exercising sanctions, as well as other retaliatory measures. The negative impact of suchevents on the Company might involve multiple aspects, including reputation and product sales, as well asexisting legal and financial arrangements, thus adversely impacting the Company’s business development.For example, the European Union, the U.S., Indonesia, and Vietnam have launched anti-dumpinginvestigations against China for the export of MSG.

(2) The trade tension between China and the U.S. might affect the export of some products. As theU.S. government imposes restrictions on commodities and trade with China, the prospects for future tradebetween the two countries are uncertain. The U.S. President signed the “Uyghur Forced Labor PreventionAct” (hereinafter referred to as the “Act”) on December 23, 2021 (U.S. time). After the Act was passed,the U.S. imposed restrictions on the import of products produced in Xinjiang to the U.S. Furtherescalations in the China-U.S. trade tension and other tensions, or news or rumors on such escalations, maybring uncertainties to export, thereby affecting the Company’s business operations.

3. Risk of environmental compliance

The Company’s subsidiaries, Tongliao Meihua, Xinjiang Meihua, and Jilin Meihua, are all classifiedas key pollutant discharge entities by the environmental authorities. The Company’s main products areproduced through biological methods, and the production process will produce certain amounts of wastewater, waste gas, and waste residue. The Company strictly implements the laws and regulationsrepresented by the Environmental Protection Law of the People’s Republic of China. Based on the actualstatus of its environmental protection, the Company has published the Management Policy for Odors toSteadily Achieve Standards and the Management Policy for the Stable Operations of WastewaterWorkshops. Al production bases strictly implement the Company’s requirements and have formulatedinternal management documents, including the Management Policy for Environmental Protection, thePolicy for the Monitoring of Environmental Protection, the Policy for Education and Training onEnvironmental Protection, and the Policy for the Inspection of Environmental Protection. They performenvironmental management in accordance with the principles of prioritizing prevention, controllingpollution sources, performing end treatment, discharging up to standards, and the accountability system.If the Company has any major accident of environmental pollution due to factors such as inadequatemanagement or force majeure, it will be subject to the punishments of the environmental authorities andeven be required to suspend production and make rectifications, thus having an adverse impact on theCompany’s operations. In addition, if the national environmental policies put forward stricter requirements,the Company must increase spending on environmental protection to meet the regulatory requirements ofnational and local environmental authorities for companies’ daily operating activities. Hence, theCompany’s operating costs might also rise.

During the Reporting Period, the Xinjiang Company was given multiple administrative punishmentsby the local environmental authority due to the excessive unorganized emissions of boundary odors. Theincidents reflected the fact that the production management personnel at the production base slacked off,were not serious enough with management, and failed to run environmental facilities according to theCompany’s standards. The Company attached great importance to the incidents and strictly implementedthe accountability system. It addressed all problems, further inspected the factory, identified the locationof odors, allocated funds for treatment, developed solutions, and specified the rectification goal, measures,responsible personnel, and time limit for deep treatment of the odors.

4. Risk of production safety

It takes long production processes to produce the Company’s main products. From corn sieving andsoaking at the start to the fermentation and extraction of amino acids, it requires the use of steam with thespecified pressure, power supply facilities with various voltage levels, and special equipment. Further, theproduction involves the storage and use of such liquids as liquid ammonia and vitriol. The Company hasformulated the Management Policy for Production Safety strictly in accordance with the requirements forinternal control, implements safety accountability for all departments and subsidiaries, and has establishedcomprehensive policies and processes for production safety. However, with the continuous expansion ofits business scale and the aging of its facilities and equipment in the future, if the Company cannot strictlyimplement all safety management measures at all times, continuously improve staff abilities andawareness for production safety, or maintain and update relevant facilities and equipment, it will still facea risk of safety accidents, which will cause significant losses to employees’ personal safety and theCompany’s property safety, thereby having an adverse impact on the Company’s operations. In the eventof a serious accident, it might cause disruption to the Company’s business operations and increaseoperating costs, thus affecting its business performance.

5. Risk of change in the industrial regulatory environment

The Company is mainly engaged in the R&D, production, and sales of amino acid products, and theproducts are mainly applied in food, feed-based breeding, pharmaceutical and health, and daily chemicalareas. In its industry, the Company is subject to the regulation of such competent authorities as the NDRC,the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, and the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs.To ensure the safety, effectiveness, and controllability of products, China has formulated a suite of legaland regulatory documents that stipulate strict standards for the production licensing, quality management,and registration management of relevant products. Also, developed countries and regions, such as the EU,have developed higher access requirements for the products entering them. If there is any significantchange in the industrial policies or access policies in relevant countries or regions in the future, or if theCompany is unable to make timely operational adjustments to adapt to the change, it will have an adverseimpact on the Company’s normal production and operating activities.

6. Technical risk

(1) Risk of the leakage of core technology or the loss of core technical personnel

The Company has developed an advantage in core technology in strain culture, fermentation control,separation and extraction, and purification, and accumulated rich experience in industrialization. TheCompany has gained satisfying economic returns by promoting the effective commercialization ofscientific and technological improvements. Meanwhile, the patents that the Company has been grantedand the patents that it is applying for cover a spectrum of production stages, including strain culture,fermentation control, separation and extraction, application extension, and the whole chain of coretechnology. In consideration of the importance of core technology, the Company attaches great importanceto technological innovation and development. It has set up a designated research team equipped withdesignated research personnel to take charge of its technological development. The Company retains itscore technical team by entering into long-term contracts and offering competitive remuneration and

benefits, and signs a non-disclosure agreement with staff members who have knowledge of coretechnology to prevent the leakage of core technology. However, with the expansion of its business scale,the Company still faces a risk from the diffusion of its core technology, thus having an adverse impact onits business performance. With the burgeoning of the biological industry in China, high-calibre technicaltalents are in increasing shortage and are being competed for by the Company’s competitors. If theCompany has a serious brain drain and cannot guarantee a stable technical team internally, it might havean adverse impact on the Company’s product development, production, and operations.

(2) Risk of the development and promotion of new products

The development and promotion of new products help the Company maintain its competitive edge.The Company always values independent innovation and technological development. In the future, theCompany will continue to develop more products that are technologically leading and can be applied indifferent areas through technological innovation and development. However, the development of newtechnologies and new products has inherent risks, such as long cycles and heavy investments. While theCompany has built a mature system for technological development and hired professional R&D personnel,the possibility of failure in product R&D cannot be ruled out. In addition, the question of whether a newproduct, upon successful development, can be quickly introduced to the market depends on a variety ofinternal and external factors, including the Company’s marketing capabilities as well as the downstreamapplication market. Hence, the Company faces uncertainties in terms of whether it can gain economicreturns from new products as soon as possible. If the Company cannot gain accurate knowledge of thetrend of technological development or reduce various risks in product and technology development in thefuture, it might face such risks as failed product development, failure to launch new products as per theplan, or products failing to meet market requirements, which will have an adverse impact on theCompany’s operations.

7. Financial risk

(1) Risk of fluctuations in exchange rate

The Company’s exports are mainly settled in US dollars. In 2023, the Company realized a revenueof 8.472 billion yuan. The Company is engaged in the trading of financial derivatives to reduce the risk offluctuations in dollar-currency exchange rates. The Company has credit lines for financial derivativebusiness with multiple cooperating banks. The Company trades financial derivatives by occupying creditlines. The occupied credit lines are associated with the product term and category, and the Companyoperates within the bank’s credit line. Exchange rates usually change with changes in domestic and foreignpolitical situations and the global economic environment and thus present great uncertainties. If there aregreater fluctuations in exchange rates and the Company cannot match its foreign trade and forwardexchange settlement, it will have an adverse impact on the Company’s business performance.

(2) Risk of change in corporate income tax policies

The Company’s wholly-owned subsidiaries, Tongliao Meihua and Xinjiang Meihua, are entitled tothe corporate income tax at a rate of 15% for encouraged industrial enterprises incorporated in the westernregion from January 1, 2021, to December 31, 2030, in accordance with the provisions of the

Announcement on Extending the Corporate Income Tax Policy for Western Development (2020 No. 23)published by the Ministry of Finance, the State Taxation Administration, and the NDRC. On September28, 2021, Jilin Meihua was recognized as a hi-tech enterprise by the Jilin Provincial Leadership Group forManaging the Recognition of Hi-Tech Enterprises and obtained a hi-tech enterprise certificate with thedocument No. GR202122000280, which is valid from September 28, 2021, to September 27, 2024. In2023, Jilin Meihua was entitled to a corporate income tax rate of 15%. If there is any change to theaforementioned tax preference policies in the future, or if the Company cannot be continuously recognizedas a hi-tech enterprise upon the expiration of the tax preference, it will cause an increase in the Companytax payment, which in turn has an adverse impact on the Company’s performance.

8. Risk of dispute on intellectual property

Industrially leading enterprises that have mastered advanced technologies usually set high accessbarriers by means such as patent applications to maintain their technological advantages andcompetitiveness and prevent the risk of the leakage of technology. The Company always prioritizes thedevelopment of independent intellectual property and has thus built a science-based R&D system and anintellectual property protection system. Given the increasingly fiercer competition among companies inthe industry, if the Company fails to protect its self-owned intellectual property from being infringed upon,or if the Company infringes upon others’ intellectual property in the process of schematic design or productdevelopment due to management omissions or other factors, the Company might face the risk of litigationor disputes on intellectual property. Additionally, if any competent authority holds that the Companyinfringes upon intellectual property, or if any intellectual property owned by the Company is held to beinvalid, it may also affect the production and sales of the Company’s relevant products, thereby having anadverse impact on the Company’s business development.

√ Applicable ?Not applicable

In 2023, based on the annual key work plan for audit, the Company used the internal control methodto perform closed-loop inspections on its important business areas, including funds, entrusted storage,purchases, sales, assets, inventory, costs, engineering, and human resources, oriented towards risk control.The Company mainly diagnosed deficiencies and omissions in daily management in business processcompliance, waste, and losses, and assisted in controlling, reducing, transferring, and averting risks forbusiness, thereby effectively reducing and avoiding business risks. At the same time, the Company

continued to improve its internal control system and risk management, which played a positive supportingrole in its operations management.During the Reporting Period, the Company strengthened inspections and supervision over themanagement of entrusted corn storage projects at the three production bases and strictly implemented themanagement standards for entrusted corn storage. Meanwhile, the Company advised the purchasedepartment to take advantage of market opportunities and choose to cooperate with high-quality suppliers,which reduced the cooperation risk to a certain extent. The inspection results showed that the outgoingquality of corn under entrusted storage and the storage facilities and equipment were improving year byyear. The Company also conducted training and made rectifications for problems that were identified, andimproved the management mechanism for the approval process for storage location changes.

During the Reporting Period, the Company’s audit department and asset management performed ajoint inspection of assets. The inspection results and rectifications were included in the quarterly appraisalmanagement of the asset management office, which effectively promoted the closed-loop management ofthe accounting process and problems with assets at the production bases, consolidated the basicmanagement of assets and basic work for ensuring consistency between accounting records and reality,and strengthened the daily performance of duties in asset accounting. The inspection results showed thatthe foundation for asset management at the production bases was getting stronger. For the problemsidentified, the audit department will continue to strengthen control and perform inspections andmonitoring in 2024.

During the Reporting Period, the Company conducted special audit checks of accounts receivable forits sales and accounts payable for its purchases. The results showed that the risk of the sales business wasbasically controllable. The Company constantly strengthened daily compliance management and jobtraining and consolidated internal control and basic management of sales. The purchase risk at the threeproduction bases was concentrated in the hardware, engineering, and corn businesses. The purchase officesof the production bases strictly implemented the management processes and requirements of the PurchaseHandbook of the Company and the Supplier Quality Management Policy to strengthen the internal controland management of purchases. They also built a daily internal inspection mechanism to immediatelycorrect any deviations in daily activities.

Based on the Company’s sustainable development planning, the audit department identified andteased out the planning, supporting, operations, assessment, and improvement processes required for theanti-bribery management system in accordance with the ISO 37001:2016 standard. The audit departmentspecified the requirements for the operational control of bribery risk and established the Anti-briberyManagement System and the Management Process, which stipulated the assessment and rating of briberyrisk. By organizing risk assessments, the Company formed a sheet containing the criteria for the levels ofbribery risk. The Company successfully passed the external review three months after the trial of thesystem, which strengthened internal and external compliance management to a certain extent.

During the Reporting Period, the audit department proactively organized and assisted Da Hua CPAsLLP in conducting an inspection and evaluation of internal control for 2023, and no major defects were

identified. For general defects that were identified, the audit department developed rectifications with thebusiness divisions, and all rectifications were completed.In 2023, the Company kept developing and improving internal control policies and effectivelyimplemented them in accordance with the requirements of the Basic Specifications for Internal Control ofEnterprises and based on its operational characteristics. The policies fit the Company’s existingmanagement requirements and development needs and could provide a beneficial guarantee for the soundoperations of its business and the control of its operational risk.

2. Construction and operation of pollution prevention control facilities

√ Applicable ?Not applicable

The Company actively responds to the country’s call for environmental protection by striving to buildan environmentally friendly and resource-saving enterprise that aims to achieve economic developmentand environmental protection simultaneously.

(1) Wastewater treatment

For high-concentration organic wastewater, the Company extracts feed mycoprotein from theflocculation and flotation of high-concentration organic wastewater and evaporates and concentrates thethin liquid to produce organic fertilizers through spray granulation. For low-concentration wastewater, theCompany reduces the exploitation of fresh water by means of internal recycling at wastewater workshopsand cross-workshop coordination and reusing; in wastewater treatment, the Company has introduced theIC reactor and the ANAMMOX bio-removal of nitrogen from the Dutch company Paques. At present,Tongliao Company has two wastewater treatment workshops that use IC anaerobic reaction, aerationaerobiotic reaction, and ANAMMOX bio-removal of nitrogen technologies. After treatment, the waterquality is far below the execution limits. To save the previous resource of underground water and reducewastewater discharge, the Company has set up two workshops to reuse reclaimed water. 15,000 m3 ofreclaimed water is produced daily and reused in power plant boilers and production cooling, which cuts theconsumption of water resources and the total external discharge of wastewater.

Likewise, Xinjiang Company also reduces water consumption through the combination of tieredutilization and recycling. The high-concentration wastewater produced by Xinjiang Company is rich in

nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium, as well as organic matter. It can be used to produce organic fertilizersthrough spray granulation and help interact with corn farmers through complimentary fertilizers. Organic,high-efficiency fertilizers can be used in corn planting to form a virtuous cycle. Xinjiang Company uses themost advanced wastewater treatment technology from the Dutch company Paques—an IC circular anaerobicreactor, ANAMMOX bio-removal of nitrogen, and A/O technology—and achieves automatic control. Hence,the Company enjoys a top position in terms of wastewater treatment technology, with its wastewater dischargefar below the national limits. While meeting the discharge requirements, the Company’s ANAMMOX sludgeis sold both at home and abroad, making it the biggest supplier of ANAMMOX sludge globally. The Companyreuses wastewater to produce methane gas through the IC reactor and provides production plants with cleanenergy, saving more than 10,000 tons of coal every year. The Company is equipped with a reclaimed waterrecycling workshop with a daily capacity of 15,000 m

. The workshop uses the V-shaped filter, ultrafiltration,and anti-penetration technology, which saves water consumption by 10,000 m

every day.Jilin Company’s wastewater treatment workshop treats wastewater using anaerobic reaction, aerobioticreaction, A/O, and the five-tiered bio-treatment of coagulation and sedimentation. For the anaerobic reactor,the workshop uses the latest Gen-3 ICX reactor from the Dutch company Paques, which features a treatmentefficiency higher than other reactors by 20% with a designed treatment capacity of 30,000 m3 per day.Meanwhile, to better implement Meihua Group’s concept for building an “environmentally friendly, energy-saving, innovation-driven, and quality safety” enterprise, Jilin Company always vigorously encourages energyconservation, emission reduction, and clean production based on original designs. It proactively developsinnovative technologies and identifies points for technological improvements to ensure economic feasibilitywhile protecting the environment and achieving discharge standards. In 2023, Jilin Company reduceddischarge by nearly 2,000 m

per day on average and reached a globally leading position in terms of cleanproduction.The wastewater treatment workshops of Tongliao Company, Xinjiang Company, and Jilin Company allhave online surveillance equipment for their discharge outlets, which is connected with the networks ofenvironmental authorities to monitor the Company’s wastewater discharge in real time.

(2) Waste gas treatment

1) Treatment of fume from boilers:

In treating fume from boilers, the Company uses electrostatic fabric filter, ammonia desulfurization,and SNCR denitration technologies. Upon treatment, the fume emission concentration is far below thelimits set by the Emission Standard of Air Pollutants for Thermal Power Plants, thus achieving the “ultra-low discharge” standard. The denitration technology used by the Company converts NOx into N

and H

Othrough reaction without causing secondary pollution. The ammonia desulfurization technology uses NH

and SO

reaction as the basis, and in the multi-functional fume desulfuration absorber tower, ammoniaabsorbs SO

from fume and oxidizes it into ammonium sulfate. The byproducts happen to be usable in theCompany’s production of amino acids. It brings double benefits to the Company: meeting the requirementsof pollutant discharge and recycling resources.The fume discharge outlets of Tongliao Company, Xinjiang Company, and Jilin Company all have

online surveillance equipment, which is connected with the networks of environmental authorities tomonitor the Company’s fume discharge in real time.

2) Treatment of organized odors:

In treating organized odor emissions, the Company uses a combination of advanced treatmenttechnologies, including dedusting, washing, cooling and dewatering, catalytic oxidation, cryocondensation,DDBD (double dielectric barrier discharge), photoelectrocatalysis, and activated carbon adsorption. Allodors are discharged through three to nine tiers of treatment. In 2023, Xinjiang Company spent 200 millionyuan on the deep treatment of odors. On the basis of the original odor treatment facilities, XinjiangCompany installed facilities such as washing towers and dedusters in a bid to make the odor concentrationsat the discharge outlets achieve the requirements of the Emission Standard for Odor Pollutants (ExposureDraft) ahead of the deployment by the Ministry of Ecology and Environment. At the same time, theCompany continuously develops creative methods using domestic and foreign advanced technologies,including multi-tiered washing, cooling and dewatering, electrostatic defogging, low-temperature plasmatreatment, microwave photo-oxidation, deep oxidation, and activated carbon absorption, to treatfermentation odors and the exhaust from product drying. The Company also achieves automatic control,making the treatment process more precise and stable.

3) Treatment of unorganized odors:

In treating unorganized odor emissions, the Company has installed closed collection devices to treatunorganized waste gas from production equipment and storage tanks and equipment. The collected wastegas is discharged after being treated by environmental devices, which solves the impact of unorganized wastegas emissions on ambient air quality. Further, through the continuous improvement of its internalmanagement, the Company strives to eliminate the locations of unorganized diffusion and reduce indoor andoutdoor odor concentrations.

In 2023, Xinjiang Base was given administrative punishments by the local environmental authoritydue to the excess concentration of boundary unorganized odors. To thoroughly treat odors, XinjiangCompany spent a total of 180 million yuan on 37 air pollution treatment projects, including the treatmentof unorganized dust and odors from the organic fertilizer workshop, the treatment of waste gas fromdrying by the starch workshop, the treatment of exhaust from the fluidized beds in monosodiumglutamate Production Line 7 (Extraction Workshop 7), the treatment of unorganized waste gas fromstarch soaking, the treatment of dust from grain purification by starch, the treatment of waste gas fromfermentation, and the treatment of unorganized dust from coal sheds. The projects have been put intooperation. Upon the implementation of the treatment measures, Xinjiang Company engaged a third-party testing company to conduct tests, and the test results showed that all odor emissions met the limitrequirements of the Emission Standard for Odor Pollutants (GB14554-93). All indicators of 32discharge outlets involving odorous waste gas, including particulate matter, sulfur dioxide, hydrogensulfide, hydrogen chloride, non-methane hydrocarbon, and odor concentration, met the requirements ofthe Integrated Emission Standard of Air Pollutants (GB16297-1996), the Emission Standard for OdorPollutants (GB14554-93), and the pollutant discharge licenses.

Jilin Base spent 2,783,900 yuan to install external PSCR denitration reaction equipment on fourunits of high-temperature and high-pressure circulating fluidized bed boilers at Production Line 5 of theheating station, reducing the boiler discharge index to less than 50 mg/Nm

, which reached the ultra-low discharge standard. Upon the implementation of the treatment measures, Jilin Company engaged athird-party testing company to conduct tests, and the test results showed the indicators of dischargeoutlets involving odorous waste gas, including particulate matter, sulfur dioxide, and NOx, met therequirements of the Integrated Emission Standard of Air Pollutants (GB16297-1996) and the pollutantdischarge licenses.

4) Treatment of unorganized dust:

The Company spent hundreds of millions of yuan to reduce the unorganized dust produced from thestorage and transportation of coal by building three completely closed coal yards. The yards are equippedwith high-pressure fog ejectors that eject fog into the yards to prevent dust. In the plants, coals aretransported in a fully closed way. The car dumper system has dry fog-based dust prevention devices toautomatically eject fog when unloading coals. The transportation and storage of coal thoroughly eliminatethe impact of unorganized dust.

(3) Management of solid waste

Through the constant reduction, comprehensive utilization, and hazard-free treatment of solidwaste, the Company prevents solid waste from polluting the environment and harming human healthduring its production, storage, transportation, and treatment. The Company strictly complies withnational laws and regulations during its production and operations and implements relevant policies,including the Management Policy for Pollutant Discharge and the Management Regulations onHazardous Waste (Trial), to ensure the stable operation of pollutant treatment facilities.

Shandong Fufeng Fermentation Co., Ltd. filed a lawsuit against the Company and its subsidiaryXinjiang Meihua regarding the infringement of the trade secret for the production of xanthan gum.Through multiple trials of the court, the Supreme People’s Court entered the final judgement on January9, 2024: 1) Xinjiang Meihua Amino Acids Co., Ltd., Meihua Holdings Group Co., Ltd., and Zhang Weiimmediately discontinue the infringement of Shandong Fufeng Fermentation Co., Ltd.’s trade secret forthe production of xanthan gum, including not disclosing, using, or allowing others to use the said tradesecret for the production of xanthan gum; 2) Xinjiang Meihua Amino Acids Co., Ltd., Meihua HoldingsGroup Co., Ltd., and Zhang Wei compensate Shandong Fufeng Fermentation Co., Ltd. for an economicloss of 15 million yuan within ten days of the entry into force of the judgement.On March 5, 2024, the Jinan Intermediate People’s Court of Shandong issued a notice of enforcementwith Document No. (2024) LU 01 ZHI No. 573. According to the notice, the judgement with DocumentNo. (2022) ZGFZMZ No. 64 made by the Supreme People’s Court has come into force legally. Theapplicant Shandong Fufeng Fermentation Co., Ltd. filed for enforcement with the court, demanding 1) theperformance of the obligations specified in the aforementioned legal instrument that has come into force;

2) double payment for the debt interest for the period of delayed performance; and 3) payment for theenforcement fee of 500 yuan. In accordance with laws and regulations such as the civil procedure law,judgement that has come into force shall be executed. Hence, the Company immediately executed all thecontent of the judgement of second instance after receiving the judgement. 1) Xinjiang Meihua performedthe obligation of compensation according to Item 2) of the judgement. On February 1, 2024, it paid 15million yuan to Shandong Fufeng Fermentation Co., Ltd. and accrued 15 million yuan in estimated

liabilities for the compensation of economic losses based on the aforementioned judgement. 2) Thejudgement of second instance, by means of presumption, holds that the Company and Xinjiang Meihuabear joint and several liability for compensation for the infringement of the trade secret for the productionof xanthan gum due to the Zhang Wei case. Based on the lawyer’s professional opinions, the Companyholds that Xinjiang Meihua has lawful sources for the secret points of its xanthan gum production processand the process routes of relevant production lines and equipment. In actual production processes, XinjiangMeihua is not engaged in any behavior that infringes upon the said trade secret for the production ofxanthan gum. The questions of whether the technical information actually used by Xinjiang Meihua in itscurrent operations is the same as the said trade secret for the production of xanthan gum and whetherXinjiang Meihua should discontinue the use of it should be determined by the people’s court through trialsin a separate case according to the law. Based on the professional opinions as well as a comprehensiveevaluation, the Company holds that there is a low chance for the judgement to have a material effect onthe Company’s production and operations.

The Company and Xinjiang Meihua insist that Xinjiang Meihua is not engaged in the infringementof any trade secret in its xanthan gum production and sales processes. The Company will file for a retrialof the valid judgement of second instance in accordance with the law.

II. Basis for Audit OpinionWe conducted our audit in accordance with the provisions specified in the Auditing Standards forCertified Public Accountants of China. The section "Responsibilities of Certified Public Accountants forthe Audit of Financial Statements" of the audit report further explains our responsibilities under thesestandards. In accordance with the China Code of Ethics for Certified Public Accountants, we areindependent of Meihua Bio and have fulfilled our other professional ethics responsibilities. We believethat the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our auditopinion.III. Key Audit MattersKey audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance inour audit of the financial statements for the current period. These matters were addressed in the context ofour audit of the financial statements as a whole and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not providea separate opinion on these matters.We identified revenue recognition as a key audit matter that needed to be communicated in our auditreport.

1. Matter Description

Meihua Bio is primarily engaged in the production of amino acid products, with operating revenuefor the year 2023 amounting to RMB 27,760,612,259.07 yuan. For accounting policies related to revenue,please refer to Paragraph 34 Revenue of Sub-Section V of this Section, and for the carrying amount ofoperating revenue, please refer to Paragraph 61 Operating Revenue and Operating Costs of Sub-sectionVII of this Section. As revenue is one of the key performance indicators for Meihua Bio, there is inherentrisk that the Company’s management may manipulate revenue recognition to achieve specific targets or

expectations. Therefore, we identified revenue recognition as a key audit matter.

2. Audit Response

Key audit procedures we’ve carried out for revenue recognition include:

(1) Understanding, assessing, and testing the management's internal control over the recognition ofoperating revenues;

(2) Selecting samples to examine sales contracts and conducting interviews with the management toidentify contract terms related to the transfer of control of goods and to evaluate whether revenuerecognition policies comply with the Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises;

(3) Selecting samples to examine supporting documents related to the recognition of revenue fromthe main businesses, including sales contracts, sales invoices, shipping documents, export customsdeclaration forms, bills of lading, and bank payment connection records, to assess whether revenuerecognition complies with the Company's accounting policies for revenue recognition;

(4) Performing independent confirmation procedures for sales revenue from significant customers toconfirm the authenticity and completeness of revenue;

(5) With regard to the main business revenue transactions recorded before and after the balance sheetdate, selecting samples to examine sales contracts, sales invoices, shipping documents, and othersupporting documents to assess whether revenue from the main business is recognized in the appropriateaccounting period;

(6) Conducting examinations of sales revenue after the balance sheet date to identify whether thereare instances of revenue reversal or substantial sales returns;

(7) Sampling to examine the payment collection after the balance sheet date.

Based on the audit work we’ve conducted, we believe that management's judgments on therecognition of operating revenue are reasonable.

IV. Responsibilities of the Management and Governance for Financial Statements

The management of Meihua Bio is responsible for preparing financial statements in accordance withthe Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises to ensure fair presentation, and for designing,implementing, and maintaining necessary internal controls to prevent material misstatements in thefinancial statements arising from fraud or error.

In preparing the financial statements, the management of Meihua Bio is responsible for assessing theCompany's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing matters related to going concern (ifapplicable), and applying the going concern assumption unless the management intends to liquidate theCompany, cease operations, or has no realistic alternative.

The governance is responsible for overseeing the financial reporting process of Meihua Bio.

V. Responsibilities of Certified Public Accountants for the Audit of Financial Statements

Our objective is to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole arefree from material misstatements arising from fraud or error, and to issue an audit report containing auditopinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but it does not guarantee that an auditconducted in accordance with the auditing standards will always detect a material misstatement when it

exists. Misstatements can arise from either fraud or error, and it is reasonably expected that individual oraggregated misstatements may affect the economic decisions made by users based on the financialstatements, such misstatements are generally considered material.

During the audit in accordance with the auditing standards, we exercise professional judgment andmaintain professional skepticism. Additionally, we perform the following procedures:

1. Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements due to fraud orerror, design and implement audit procedures to address these risks, and obtain sufficient and appropriateaudit evidence as the basis for our audit opinion. The risk of failing to detect a material misstatement dueto fraud is higher than the risk of failing to detect one due to error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery,intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or override of internal controls.

2. Understand the internal controls relevant to the audit in order to design appropriate auditprocedures.

3. Evaluate the appropriateness of the accounting policies selected by the management and thereasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures.

4. Come to a conclusion regarding the appropriateness of the management's utilization of the goingconcern assumption. Additionally, based on the audit evidence obtained, conclude whether significantuncertainties exist regarding matters or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company's abilityto continue as a going concern. If we conclude that there is a significant uncertainty, the auditing standardsrequire us to draw attention to users of the report in our audit report to the relevant disclosures in thefinancial statements; if the disclosures are inadequate, we should issue a qualified opinion. We come toour conclusion based on information available up to the date of our audit report. However, future eventsor conditions may result in the Company being unable to continue as a going concern.

5. Evaluate the overall presentation, structure, and content of the financial statements and whetherthey fairly reflect the relevant transactions and events.

6. Obtain sufficient and appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of MeihuaBio’s entities or business activities to express an opinion on the financial statements. We are responsiblefor directing, supervising, and performing the group audit and bear full responsibility for the audit opinion.

We communicate with the governance about matters related to the planned scope of the audit, timingschedule, and significant audit findings, including the communication of significant internal controldeficiencies identified during the audit.

We also provide the governance with a statement regarding compliance with professional ethicsrequirements related to independence and communicate to the governance all relationships and othermatters that might reasonably be seen as compromising our independence as well as relevant preventivemeasures (if applicable).

From the matters communicated with the governance, we determine those matters that are of mostsignificance in the audit of the financial statements for the current period and therefore constitute the keyaudit matters. We describe these matters in our audit report unless laws or regulations preclude publicdisclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should

not be communicated in the audit report if doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the publicinterest benefits of such communication.

6. Accounting Treatment Method for Merger of Enterprises under the Same Control and DifferentControls?Applicable □ Not Applicable

1.If the terms, conditions, and economic impacts of various transactions involved in the stagedimplementation of the enterprise merger meet one or more of the following criteria, treat the multipletransactions as a package deal for accounting treatment.

(1) These transactions are concluded simultaneously or taking into account their mutual impacts;

(2) These transactions collectively achieve a complete business outcome;

(3) The occurrence of one transaction depends on the occurrence of at least one other transaction;

(4) A transaction is uneconomical when considered alone, but becomes economical when consideredtogether with other transactions.

2.Enterprise merger under the same control

Enterprises participating in the merger are subject to the same ultimate control by one party or multipleparties, and such control is not temporary, constituting a merger of enterprises under the same control.

The assets and liabilities obtained by the Company in the enterprise merger are measured at the carryingamounts of the merged party's assets and liabilities (including goodwill formed by the ultimate controllingparty from the acquisition of the merged party) in the consolidated financial statements of the ultimatecontrolling party as of the merger date. In case of any difference between the carrying amount of net assetsobtained in the merger and the carrying amount (or total face value of shares issued) of the consideration paidfor the merger, the share premium in the capital reserve will be adjusted, and if the share premium in the capitalsurplus is insufficient to offset, the retained earnings will be adjusted.

If there are contingent considerations requiring the recognition of estimated liabilities or assets and thedifference between the amount of these estimated liabilities or assets and the subsequent settlement amount ofcontingent considerations, the capital surplus (capital premium or share premium) will be adjusted. If thecapital surplus is insufficient, the retained earnings will be adjusted.

For enterprise mergers achieved through multiple transactions, ultimately forming a package deal, eachtransaction within it should be accounted for as one acquisition of control. For transactions not constituting apackage deal, on the day control is acquired, the capital reserve is adjusted based on the difference betweenthe initial investment cost of long-term equity investments and the book value of the long-term equityinvestments before the merger plus the book value of the consideration newly paid for further acquisition ofshares on the merger date, with retained earnings being adjusted for any shortfall in the capital reserve.Regarding equity investments held before the merger date, other comprehensive income accounted for by theequity method or recognized by financial instruments and accounted for and recognized by the measurementstandards will not undergo accounting treatment until the investment is disposed of, at which time it will beaccounted for based on the same principles as directly disposing of assets or liabilities associated with theinvested party. Any changes in the owners’ equity, excluding net profit and loss, other comprehensive income,and profit distribution in the net assets of the invested party, accounted and recognized through the equitymethod, will not be accounted for until the disposal of the investment, at which point they are transferred tothe profit and loss for the current period.

3.Enterprise merger not under the same control

Enterprises participating in the merger are not subject to the same ultimate control by one party or multiple

parties before and after the merger, constituting a merger of enterprises not under the same control.On the acquisition date, the assets paid as consideration for the enterprise merger and the liabilitiesincurred or assumed are measured at fair value, and the difference between the fair value and their carryingamounts is recognized in the profit and loss for the current period.

The difference between the merger cost and the identifiable fair value share of net assets acquired fromthe acquired entity in the merger, if positive, is recognized as goodwill; if negative, it is recognized in the profitand loss for the current period after thorough review.For enterprise merger not under the same control achieved through multiple exchanges and transactionsin a phased manner, constituting a package deal, each transaction within it should be accounted for as oneacquisition of control. Where transactions do not constitute a package deal, and equity investments held priorto the merger date are accounted for using the equity method, the initial investment cost of those investmentsshould be the aggregate of the book value of the equity investments in the acquired entity as of the acquisitiondate and any newly added investment made on the acquisition date. Other comprehensive income from equityinvestments held prior to the acquisition date and accounted for and recognized using the equity method shouldbe accounted for upon disposal of the investment, based on the same basis as directly disposing of the relevantassets or liabilities of the invested party. For equity investments recognized using financial instruments andaccounted for using the measurement standards, the initial investment cost on the merger date should be thesum of the equity investment's fair value on the merger date and the newly added investment cost. Thedifference between the fair value and book value of the originally held equity, along with the accumulated fairvalue changes previously recognized in other comprehensive income, should all be transferred to investmentincome for the current period as of the merger date.4.Expenses related to the mergerIntermediary expenses such as audit, legal services, evaluation consultation, and other directly relatedexpenses incurred for the enterprise merger are recognized in the profit and loss for the current period at thetime of occurrence. Transaction costs for issuing equity securities for the enterprise merger can be directlyattributed to equity transactions and deducted from equity.

7. Determination Criteria for Controls and Preparation Method for Consolidated Financial Statements?Applicable □ Not Applicable

1.Determination criteria for controls

Control refers to the power held by the investing party over the invested party, enjoying variable returnsby involvement in the relevant activities carried by the invested party and having the ability to influence theamount of returns through exercising power over the invested party.

The accounting policies and periods adopted by all subsidiaries included in the consolidation scope of theconsolidated financial statements are consistent with those of the Company. In instances where a subsidiary'saccounting policies or periods differ from those of the Company, necessary adjustments should be made in thepreparation of the consolidated financial statements to align with the Company's accounting policies andperiods.

When preparing the consolidated financial statements, the impact of internal transactions between theCompany and its subsidiaries, as well as between subsidiaries, on the consolidated balance sheet, consolidatedincome statement, consolidated cash flow statements, and consolidated statement of changes in equity is offset.If there are differences in the recognition of the same transaction from the perspective of the consolidatedfinancial statements of the enterprise group and from the perspective of the Company or a subsidiary as theaccounting entity, adjustments are made from the perspective of the enterprise group for such transactions.

The portions of subsidiary owners' equity, current net profit, and current comprehensive incomeattributable to minority shareholders are separately presented under the owner's equity item in the consolidatedbalance sheets, as well as under the net profit item and in the total comprehensive income item in theconsolidated income statements. If the portion of the current losses borne by minority shareholders exceedsthe balance of minority shareholders' equity derived from their initial ownership interests in the subsidiary,minority shareholders’ interest will be deducted accordingly.

For subsidiaries acquired through enterprise merger under the same control, their financial statements areadjusted based on the fair value of their assets and liabilities (including goodwill formed by the ultimatecontrolling party from acquisition of the subsidiary) in the financial statements of the ultimate controlling party.

For subsidiaries acquired through enterprise merger not under the same control, their financial statementsare adjusted based on the fair value of identifiable net assets as of the acquisition date.

If control can be exercised over the invested party under the same control due to additional investmentsor other reasons, it is deemed that all parties involved in the merger existed in their current state and performedadjustment as of the commencement of control by the ultimate controlling party. For equity investments heldbefore the control over the merged party is obtained, any profit or loss, other comprehensive income, and otherchanges in net assets recognized between the acquisition date of the original equity or the date when themerging party and the merged party are under common control, whichever is later, are offset against retainedearnings or the profit and loss for the current period at the beginning of the comparative reporting period.

If during the reporting period, subsidiaries or businesses are added due to the enterprise merger not underthe same control, the beginning balance in the consolidated balance sheet remain unchanged. The revenues,expenses, and profits of the subsidiaries or businesses from the acquisition date to the end of the reportingperiod are included in the consolidated income statement, while the cash flows from the acquisition date to theend of the reporting period of the subsidiaries or businesses are included in the consolidated cash flowstatement.

If control can be exercised over the invested party not under the same control, the Company remeasuresthe equity interests held in the acquired party prior to the acquisition date at their fair value on the acquisitiondate, with the difference between the fair value and their book value recognized in the investment income forthe current period. For the equity interests held in the acquired party before the acquisition date that involveother comprehensive income accounted for using the equity method and other changes in owner's equityexcluding net profits and losses, other comprehensive income, and profit distribution, other comprehensiveincome and other changes in owner's equity related to them are transferred to the investment income for thecurrent period as of the acquisition date, except for other comprehensive income arising from the investedparty’s remeasurement of the changes in the net liabilities or assets in the defined benefit plan.

(2) Disposal of Subsidiaries or Businesses

of the period to the disposal date are included in the consolidated cash flow statement.

When control over the invested party is lost due to the disposal of a portion of equity investments or otherreasons, the Company remeasures the remaining equity investments at their fair value on the date such controlis lost. The sum of the consideration received from the disposal of equity and the fair value of the remainingequity, reduced by the proportionate share of net assets and goodwill continuously calculated based on theoriginal ownership percentage since the acquisition or merger date, is recognized in the investment income forthe period such control is lost. Other comprehensive income or other changes in owner's equity (excluding netprofit and loss, other comprehensive income and profit distribution) related to the equity investments of theoriginal subsidiary are transferred to the current investment income when control is lost, except for othercomprehensive income arising from the invested party’s remeasurement of the changes in the net liabilities orassets in the defined benefit plan.

B. These transactions collectively achieve a complete business outcome;

C. The occurrence of one transaction depends on the occurrence of at least one other transaction;

D. A transaction is uneconomical when considered alone, but becomes economical when consideredtogether with other transactions.

However, the difference between the proceeds from each disposal and the proportionate share of netassets of the subsidiary, as related to the disposal of investment, is recognized as other comprehensive incomein the consolidated financial statement prior to the loss of control, and is subsequently transferred to the profitor loss for the period when control is lost.

When transactions involving the disposal of equity investments in subsidiaries until control is lost are notpart of a package deal, the Company accounts for them according to the relevant policies for partially disposingof equity investments in subsidiaries without losing control before control is lost and according to the regulardisposal method for disposal of subsidiaries when control is lost.

For the difference between the long-term equity investment newly acquired due to the acquisition ofminority equity by the Company and the proportionate share of net assets continuously calculated based on theincreased ownership percentage since the acquisition date (or merger date), the share premium in the capitalreserve in the consolidated balance sheet is adjusted to offset. If the share premium is insufficient to offset thedifference, the retained earnings are adjusted to offset.

(4) Partial disposal of equity investments in subsidiaries without losing control

For the difference between the disposal proceeds from partial disposal of long-term equity investments insubsidiaries without losing control and the proportionate share of net assets held in subsidiaries continuouslycalculated from the acquisition or merger date due to the disposal of long-term equity investments, adjustmentsare made to the share premium in the capital reserve in the consolidated balance sheet.

short-term maturity (generally within three months from the date of acquisition), strong liquidity, cash easilyconvertible into known amounts, and minimal risk of value changes.

10. Translation of Foreign Currency Transactions and Foreign Currency Financial Statements?Applicable □ Not Applicable

For foreign currency transactions, the Company uses the spot exchange rate on the transaction date toconvert them into Renminbi for accounting purposes upon initial recognition.

Monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the spot exchange rate on the balancesheet date. Any exchange differences arising from this, except for those related to foreign currency borrowingsspecifically incurred for the acquisition and construction of qualifying assets and treated under the principle ofcapitalizing borrowing costs, are recorded in the profit or loss for the current period. Non-monetary itemsdenominated in foreign currencies and measured at historical cost are still translated using the spot exchangerate on the transaction date, without altering their recorded functional currency amount.

For non-monetary items denominated in foreign currencies and measured at fair value, the Company usesthe spot exchange rate on the fair value determination date for translation. The difference between the translatedfunctional currency amount and the original functional currency amount is treated as changes in fair value(including changes in exchange rate) and recorded in the profit or loss for the current period or recognized asother comprehensive income.

11. Financial Instruments

?Applicable □ Not Applicable

The Company recognizes a financial asset or financial liability when it becomes a party to a financialinstrument contract.

The effective interest rate method refers to the method of calculating the amortized cost of a financialasset or a financial liability and apportioning the interest income or interest expenses into each accountingperiod.

The effective interest rate is the rate used to discount estimated future cash flows during the expected lifeof a financial asset or financial liability to the book balance of the financial asset or the amortized cost of thefinancial liability. In the determination of the effective interest rate, the expected cash flows are estimated basedon all contractual terms of the financial asset or financial liability (such as prepayment, extension, call options,or similar options), excluding expected credit losses.

The amortized cost of a financial asset or financial liability is calculated by deducting the principal repaidfrom the initially recognized amount, adding or deducting the cumulative amortized amount resulting from thedifference between the initially recognized amount and the amount payable at maturity using the effectiveinterest rate method, and then deducting any cumulative provision for impairment losses (applicable only tofinancial assets).

1.Classification, Recognition, and Measurement of Financial AssetsThe Company classifies financial assets into the following three categories based on the business modelfor managing financial assets and the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial assets:

(1) Financial assets measured at amortized cost.

(2) Financial assets measured at fair value with changes recognized in other comprehensive income.

(3) Financial assets measured at fair value with changes recorded in the profit or loss for the current period.Financial assets are measured at fair value at initial recognition. However, if accounts receivable or notesreceivable arising from sales of goods or provision of services do not contain material financing componentsor consider financing components not exceeding one year, they are measured at transaction price for initialmeasurement.For financial assets measured at fair value with changes recorded in the profit or loss for the current period,related transaction costs are directly recorded in the profit or loss for the current period, while transaction costsfor other categories of financial assets are recognized in their initially recognized amounts.The subsequent measurement of financial assets depends on their classification, and all affected financialassets are reclassified only when the Company changes the business model for managing financial assets.

(1) Financial assets classified as being measured at amortized cost

When the contractual terms of financial assets specify that cash flows arising on a specific date solelycomprise payments of principal and interest based on the outstanding principal amount, and the business modelfor managing those financial assets aims to collect contractual cash flows, the Company classifies them asbeing measured at amortized cost. Financial assets classified as being measured at amortized cost includemoney funds and certain notes receivable, accounts receivable, other receivables, debt investments, long-termreceivables, etc that are measured at amortized cost.The Company recognizes interest income on such financial assets using the effective rate method, andconducts subsequent measurement at amortized cost. The gains or losses incurred from their impairment,derecognition and modification are recorded in the profit or loss for the current period. Except forcircumstances mentioned below, the Company determines interest income by multiplying the book balance ofthe financial assets by the effective interest rate:

1) For purchased or originated financial assets with credit impairment, the Company calculates theirinterest income by applying their amortized cost and the effective interest rate adjusted for credit since initialrecognition.

2) For purchased or originated financial assets without incurred credit impairment but becoming creditimpaired in subsequent periods, the Company calculates their interest income by applying their amortized costand the effective interest rate. If the credit risk of the financial instruments improves in subsequent periodssuch that there is no longer any credit impairment, the Company calculates the interest income by multiplyingthe book balance of the financial assets by the effective interest rate.

(2)Financial assets classified as being measured at fair value with changes recognized in othercomprehensive income

When the contractual terms of financial assets specify that cash flows arising on a specific date consist

solely of payments of principal and interest based on the outstanding principal amount, and the business modelfor managing such financial asset aims to both collect contractual cash flows and sell the financial assets, theCompany categorizes the financial assets as being measured at fair value with changes recognized in othercomprehensive income.The Company recognizes interest income on such financial assets using the effective rate method. Exceptfor interest income, impairment losses, and exchange differences that are recorded in the profit or loss for thecurrent period, all other changes in fair value are recognized in other comprehensive income. When suchfinancial assets are derecognized, the cumulative gains or losses previously recognized in other comprehensiveincome are transferred from other comprehensive income and recorded in the profit or loss for the currentperiod.Notes receivable and accounts receivable measured at fair value with changes recognized in othercomprehensive income are presented as Receivables Financing, and other financial assets of this category arepresented as other debt investments. Among them, other debt investments due within one year from the balancesheet date are presented as non-current assets due within one year, and other debt investments originally duewithin one year are presented as other current assets.

(3) Financial assets designated as being measured at fair value with changes recognized in othercomprehensive incomeUpon initial recognition, the Company may irrevocably designate non-trading equity instrumentinvestments as financial assets measured at fair value with changes recognized in other comprehensive income,on a single financial asset basis.Changes in fair value of such financial assets are recognized in other comprehensive income without theneed of provision for impairment reserves. When these financial assets are derecognized, the cumulative gainsor losses previously recognized in other comprehensive income are transferred from other comprehensiveincome and recognized in retained earnings. During the period in which the Company holds these equityinstrument investments, when the Company's right to receive dividends has been established and it is probablethat economic benefits associated with the dividends will flow to the Company, and the amount of dividendscan be reliably measured, dividend income is recognized and recorded in the profit or loss for the current period.The Company presents these financial assets under the other equity instrument investment item.

Equity instrument investments are classified as financial assets measured at fair value with changesrecorded in the profit or loss for the current period if they meet any of the following conditions: the primaryobjective of acquiring the financial assets is for near-term sale; at initial recognition, they are part of theidentifiable financial asset instrument portfolio under centralized management, and there is objective evidenceof a short-term profit pattern; they are derivative instruments (excluding those meeting the definitions listed infinancial guarantee contracts and those designated as effective hedging instruments).

(4) Financial assets classified as being measured at fair value with changes recorded in the profit or lossfor the current period

Financial assets that do not meet the conditions for classification as being measured at amortized cost orfair value with changes recognized in other comprehensive income, and that are not designated as being

measured at fair value with changes recognized in other comprehensive income, are classified as financialassets measured at fair value with changes recorded in the profit or loss for the current period.

The Company subsequently measures these financial assets at fair value, with gains or losses arising fromchanges in fair value and income from dividends and interest associated with these financial assets recorded inthe profit or loss for the current period.

The Company presents these financial assets under the items of financial assets held for trading and othernon-current financial assets based on their liquidity.

(5) Financial assets designated as being measured at fair value with changes recorded in the profit or lossfor the current period

At the time of initial recognition, the Company may irrevocably designate financial assets as beingmeasured at fair value with changes in fair value recorded in the profit or loss for the current period on a singlefinancial asset basis in order to eliminate or significantly reduce accounting mismatches.

If a hybrid contract contains one or more embedded derivative instruments and its main contract does notfall under the aforementioned financial assets, the Company may designate it as a whole as a financialinstrument measured at fair value with changes recorded in the profit or loss for the current period. However,the following exceptions apply:

1)The embedded derivative instruments will not lead to material changes to the cash flows of the hybridcontract.

2)When determining whether a similar hybrid contract needs to be split, it is almost unnecessary toanalyze to determine that the embedded derivative instruments therein should not be split. For example, incases where the prepayment right for loans is embedded, allowing the holder to repay the loan at an amountclose to the amortized cost, this prepayment right does not need to be split.

The Company subsequently measures such financial assets at fair value, with gains or losses arising fromchanges in fair value and income from dividends and interest associated with these financial assets recorded inthe profit or loss for the current period.

The Company presents these financial assets under the items of financial assets held for trading and othernon-current financial assets based on their liquidity.

2.Classification, Recognition and Measurement of Financial Liabilities

At the time of initial recognition, the Company classifies the financial instruments or its components asfinancial liabilities or equity instruments based on the contractual terms of the financial instruments and theirunderlying economic substance, rather than solely on legal form, taking into consideration the definitions offinancial instruments and equity instruments. At the time of initial recognition, financial liabilities are classifiedas: Financial assets measured at fair value with changes in fair value recorded in the profit or loss for the currentperiod, other financial assets, and derivative instruments designated as effective hedging instruments.

At the time of initial recognition, financial liabilities are measured at fair value. For financial liabilitiesmeasured at fair value with changes in fair value recorded in the profit or loss for the current period, relatedtransaction costs are directly recorded in the profit or loss for the current period, while for other types offinancial liabilities, related transaction costs are recognized in the initially recognized amount.

Subsequent measurement of financial liabilities depends on their classification:

(1) Financial liabilities measured at fair value with changes in fair value recorded in the profit or loss forthe current period:

Such financial liabilities include financial liabilities held for trading (including derivative instrumentsfalling under financial liabilities) and financial liabilities designated as being measured at fair value withchanges in fair value recorded in the profit or loss for the current period.

Financial liabilities are classified as financial liabilities held for trading if they meet any of the followingconditions: The primary purpose of holding the relevant financial liabilities is for sale or repurchase in the nearterm; the relevant financial liabilities are part of identifiable financial instrument portfolio under centralizedmanagement and there is objective evidence that the enterprise adopts a short-term profit-taking mode in thenear term; the relevant financial liabilities fall under derivative instruments, except those specificallydesignated and effective as hedging instruments and meeting the requirements specified in the financialguarantee contracts. Financial liabilities held for trading (including derivative instruments falling underfinancial liabilities) are measured at fair value in the subsequent periods and all changes in fair value, exceptfor those associated with hedge accounting, are recorded in the profit or loss for the current period.

At the time of initial recognition, for the purpose of providing more pertinent accounting information, theCompany irrevocably designates financial liabilities meeting any of the following conditions as financialliabilities measured at fair value with changes in fair value recorded in the profit or loss for the current period:

1) Being able to eliminate or significantly reduce accounting mismatches.

2) Manage and assess portfolios of financial liabilities or portfolios of financial assets and liabilities basedon fair value and in accordance with the enterprise risk management or investment policies specified in theformal written documentation, and report to key management personnel within the Company based on themanagement and assessment outcomes.

The Company subsequently measures such financial liabilities at fair value. All changes in fair value,excluding those resulting from fluctuations in the Company’s own credit risk and recorded in othercomprehensive income, are recorded in the profit or loss for the current period. Unless recording changes infair value resulting fluctuations in the Company's own credit risk in other comprehensive income would resultin or exacerbate accounting mismatches in the profit or loss, the Company will record all changes in fair value(including the amount affected by changes in its own credit risk) into the profit or loss for the current period.

(2) Other financial liabilities

The Company classifies financial liabilities, excluding those listed below, as being measured at amortizedcost, subsequently measures them at amortized cost using the effective rate method, and record the gains orlosses arising from derecognition or amortization into the profit or loss for the current period:

1) Financial liabilities measured at fair value with changes in fair value recorded in the profit or loss forthe current period.

2) Financial liabilities arising from the financial asset transfer that does not meet the conditions forderecognition or the continued involvement in the transferred financial assets.

3) Financial guarantee contracts not falling under the first two scenarios outlined in this article, and loan

commitments made at interest rates below market rates and not falling within scenario 1) in this article.Financial guarantee contracts refer to contracts where the issuer is obligated to compensate the contractholder for a specified amount if a specific debtor is unable to pay its debt in accordance with the original ormodified debt instrument terms when due. Financial guarantee contracts not designated as financial liabilitiesmeasured at fair value with changes in fair value recorded in the profit or loss for the current period aremeasured at the loss reserve amount or the initially recognized amount less the cumulative amortization amountwithin the guarantee period, whichever is higher, after the initial recognition.3.Derecognition of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities

(1)Financial assets are derecognized and written-off from the accounts and the balance sheet, when oneof the following conditions is met:

1) The contractual right to receive cash flows from a financial asset are terminated.

2)The financial asset has been transferred, and the transfer meets the criteria for derecognition of financialassets.

(2) Conditions for derecognition of financial liabilities

If the present obligation of a financial liability (or part thereof) has been discharged, the financial liability(or part thereof) should be derecognized.

If the Company enters into an agreement with the lender to replace the original financial liability with anew one, and the terms of the new financial liability are substantially different from those of the original, orsubstantial modifications are made to the terms of the original financial liability (or part thereof), the originalfinancial liability should be derecognized, and simultaneously a new financial liability should be recognized.The difference between the book value and the consideration paid (including non-cash assets transferred outor liabilities assumed) should be recorded in the profit or loss for the current period.

When the Company repurchases a portion of its financial liabilities, it should allocate the overall bookvalue of the financial liability based on the proportions of the portion requiring continued recognition and theportion requiring derecognition in the overall fair value on the acquisition date. The difference between thebook value allocated to the portion requiring derecognition and the consideration paid (including non-cashassets transferred out or liabilities assumed) should be recorded in the profit or loss for the current period.

4. Recognition Basis and Measurement Method for Transfer of Financial Assets

When the Company transfers financial assets, it assesses the level of risks and rewards retained in theownership of the financial assets and deals with the following situations separately:

(1) If the Company transfers almost all risks and rewards related to the ownership of the financial assets,it should derecognize the financial assets and separately recognize the rights and obligations arising from thetransfer or retention as assets or liabilities.

(2) If the Company retains almost all risks and rewards related to the ownership of the financial assets, itshould continue to recognize the financial assets.

(3) If the Company neither transfers nor retains almost all risks and rewards related to the ownership ofthe financial assets (i.e., in situations other than those specified in (1) and (2) above), it deals with the followingsituations separately based on whether it retains control of the financial assets:

1) If the Company does not retain control over the financial assets, it should derecognize the financialassets and separately recognize the rights and obligations arising from the transfer or retention as assets orliabilities.

2) If the Company retains control over the financial assets, it should continue to recognize the relevantfinancial assets based on the extent of its continued involvement in the transferred financial assets andcorrespondingly recognize the relevant financial liabilities. The extent of continued involvement in thetransferred financial assets refers to the extent to which the Company bears the risks or rewards related to thetransferred financial assets.

When determining whether the conditions for derecognition of financial assets are met, the Companyapplies the principle of substance over form. The Company distinguishes the transfer of financial assets aseither complete or partial transfer.

(1) When the complete transfer of financial assets meets the conditions for derecognition, the differencebetween the following two amounts should be recorded in the profit or loss for the current period:

1) The book value of the transferred financial assets on the derecognition date.

2) The consideration received for the transfer of financial assets, plus the cumulative fair value changespreviously recognized in other comprehensive income that correspond to the derecognized portion (financialassets involving transfer are measured at fair value with changes recognized in other comprehensive income).

(2) When a portion of financial assets is transferred and the transferred portion meets the conditions forderecognition as a whole, the book value of the financial assets as a whole before the transfer is apportionedbetween the derecognized portion and the continuously recognized portion (in this case, any servicing assetsretained should be treated as part of the continuously recognized financial assets) based on their relative fairvalues on the transfer date. The difference between the following two amounts is recorded in the profit or lossfor the current period:

1) The book value of the derecognzied portion on the derecognition date.

2) The consideration received for the derecognized portion, plus the cumulative fair value changespreviously recognized in other comprehensive income that correspond to the derecognized portion (financialassets involving transfer are measured at fair value with changes recognized in other comprehensive income).

When the transfer of financial assets does not meet the conditions for derecognition, the Companycontinues to recognize the financial assets, and recognizes the consideration received as a financial liability.

5.Determination Method for Fair Value of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities

For financial assets or financial liabilities with support by active markets, their fair values are determinedbased on quoted prices in those markets, unless there are lock-up periods specific to them. For financial assetswith specific lock-up periods, their fair values are determined by deducting the amount of compensationdemanded by market participants for bearing the risk of being unable to sell the financial assets in the publicmarket during the specified period from the quoted prices in active markets. Quoted prices in active marketsinclude those that are easily and regularly obtainable from exchanges, dealers, brokers, industry groups, pricingagencies, or regulatory authorities and represent market transactions that actually and frequently occur on afair trading basis.

For financial assets initially acquired or derived or financial liabilities assumed, their fair values shouldbe determined based on the trading prices in the market.For financial assets or liabilities without support by active markets, their fair values are determined usingvaluation techniques. During valuation, the Company employs valuation techniques that are applicable undercurrent circumstances and supported by sufficient available data and other information, selects input valuesconsistent with the characteristics of assets or liabilities that market participants would consider in transactionsinvolving such assets or liabilities and prioritizes the use of relevant observable input values whenever possible.When it's not feasible or practical to obtain relevant observable input values, unobservable input values areutilized instead.

6.Impairment of Financial Instruments

The Company accounts for impairment and recognizes provision for losses based on the expected creditlosses for financial assets measured at amortized cost, financial assets classified as being measured at fair valuewith changes in fair value recognized in other comprehensive income, lease receivables, contract assets, loancommitments not falling under financial liabilities measured at fair value with changes in fair value recordedin the profit or loss for the current period, and financial liabilities not measured at fair value with changes infair value recorded in the profit or loss for the current period, and financial guarantee contracts for financialliabilities arising from the transfer of financial assets that do not meet the derecognition criteria or the continuedinvolvement in the transferred financial assets.

Expected credit losses refer to the weighted average of credit losses on financial instruments weighted bythe risk of default. Credit losses represent the difference between all contractual cash flows discounted by theCompany at the original effective interest rate and receivable by the Company according to the contract andall cash flows expected to be received by the Company, namely, the present value of all cash shortfalls. Forfinancial assets purchased or originated by the Company with incurred credit impairment, impairment isdiscounted at the effective interest rate adjusted for credit of such financial assets.

The Company measures the provision for losses on all contract assets, notes receivable and accountsreceivable derived from transactions subject to revenue standards, as well as lease receivables/financing leasereceivables/operating lease receivables derived from transactions subject to lease standards, at an amount equalto the expected credit losses over the entire remaining term.

For financial assets purchased or originated with incurred credit impairment, only the cumulative changesin expected credit losses over the entire remaining term since initial recognition are recognized as the provisionfor losses on the balance sheet date. On each balance sheet date, the changes in expected credit losses over theentire remaining term are recognized as impairment losses or gains to be recorded in the profit or loss for thecurrent period. Even if the expected credit losses over the entire remaining term determined on the balancesheet date are lower than the expected credit losses reflected by the estimated cash flows at the time of initialrecognition, the favorable changes in expected credit losses are also recognized as impairment gains.

Except for the aforementioned financial assets measured using simplified measurement methods andpurchased or originated financial assets with incurred credit impairment, the Company assesses the credit riskof relevant financial instruments on each balance sheet date to determine whether it has significantly increased

since initial recognition, and measures the provision for losses and recognizes expected credit losses and theirchanges according to the following circumstances:

(1) If the credit risk of the financial instrument has not significantly increased since initial recognition andis in Stage 1, the provision for losses should be measured at an amount equal to the expected credit losseswithin the next 12 months for the financial instrument, and interest income should be calculated based on thebook balance and the effective interest rate.

(2) If the credit risk of the financial instrument has significantly increased since initial recognition but hasnot incurred credit impairment, it is in Stage 2. The provision for losses should be measured at an amount equalto the expected credit losses over the entire remaining term for the financial instrument, and interest incomeshould be calculated based on the book balance and the effective interest rate.

(3) If the financial instrument has incurred credit impairment since initial recognition, it is in Stage 3. TheCompany should measure the provision for losses at an amount equal to the expected credit losses over theentire remaining term for the financial instrument, and calculate interest income based on the amortized costand the effective interest rate.

The increased or reversed amount of the provision for credit losses of financial instruments is recognizedas impairment losses or gains to be recorded in the profit or loss for the current period. For financial assets,excluding those classified as being measured at fair value with changes in fair value recorded in othercomprehensive income, the provision for credit losses should be used to offset their book balance. For financialassets classified as being measured at fair value with changes recorded in other comprehensive income, theCompany recognizes their provision for credit losses in other comprehensive income without reducing theirbook value presented in the balance sheet.

In cases where the Company had measured the provision for losses at an amount equivalent to theexpected credit losses over the entire remaining term of a financial instrument during the previous accountingperiod, but as of the current balance sheet date, the financial instrument no longer qualifies under the conditionof a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition, the Company should measure the provision forlosses of the financial instrument on the current balance sheet date at an amount equivalent to the expectedcredit losses within the next 12 months, with the reversed amount of impairment losses arising therefrom asimpairment gains to be recorded in the profit or loss for the current period.

(1) Significant increase in credit risk

The Company utilizes reasonable and substantiated forward-looking information to assess whether thecredit risk of financial instruments has significantly increased since initial recognition, by comparing the riskof default occurring on the balance sheet date with that on the initial recognition date. For financial guaranteecontracts, the Company considers the date on which it becomes the party who makes irrevocable commitmentas the initial recognition date when applying the impairment provisions for financial instruments.

The Company will consider the following factors in assessing whether the credit risk has significantlyincreased:

1) Whether there has been a significant change in the operating performance of the debtor, actual orexpected;

2) Whether there has been a significant adverse change in the regulatory, economic, or technologicalenvironment in which the debtor operates;

3) Whether there has been a significant change in the value of collateral serving as debt security or in thequality of guarantees or credit enhancements provided by a third party, which is expected to reduce theeconomic incentives for the debtor to repay as per the contractual terms or affect the probability of default;

4) Whether there has been a significant change in the expected performance and repayment behavior ofthe debtor;

5) Whether there have been any changes in the Company's credit management methods for financialinstruments.

If, as of the balance sheet date, the Company determines that a financial instrument exhibits only lowcredit risk, it assumes that the credit risk of the financial instrument has not significantly increased since initialrecognition. If the financial instrument carries low default risk, the borrower demonstrates a strong ability tomeet its contractual cash flow obligations in the short term, and even if there are adverse changes in theeconomic and operating environment over an extended period, it does not necessarily impair the borrower'sability to fulfill its contractual cash flow obligations, then the financial instrument is considered to carry lowcredit risk.

(2) Financial assets with credit impairment

A financial asset is deemed to have become credit impaired in the occurrence of one or more events thatare expected to have an adverse impact on its future cash flows. Evidences for credit impairment of financialassets include the following observable information:

1) Significant financial difficulties experienced by the issuer or debtor;

2) Breach of contract by the debtor, such as default or delay in payment of interest or principal, etc.;

3) Concessions granted by the creditor to the debtor for economic or contractual reasons related to thedebtor's financial difficulties, which would not otherwise be made under any other circumstances;

4) The debtor is likely to go bankrupt or undergo other financial restructuring;

5) Financial difficulties experienced by the issuer or debtor result in the disappearance of an active marketfor the financial asset;

6) Purchasing or originating a financial asset at a significant discount, which reflects the occurrence ofcredit losses.

Credit impairment of financial assets may result from the combined effect of multiple events and may notnecessarily be attributable to individually identifiable events.

(3) Determination of expected credit losses

The Company determines expected credit losses on financial instruments based on individual andcollective assessments. When assessing expected credit losses, the Company should consider reasonable andsubstantiated information regarding past events, current conditions, and forecasts of future economicconditions.

The Company classifies financial instruments into different portfolios based on their common credit riskcharacteristics. Common credit risk characteristics used by the Company include: types of financial

instruments, aging categories, etc. The individual assessment criteria for and collective credit riskcharacteristics of relevant financial instruments are detailed in the accounting policies for those financialinstruments.The Company determines expected credit losses on relevant financial instruments as follows:

1) For financial assets, credit losses represent the present value of the difference between the contractualcash flows receivable by the Company and the cash flows expected to be received.

2) For lease receivables, credit losses represent the present value of the difference between the contractualcash flows receivable by the Company and the cash flows expected to be received.

3) For financial guarantee contracts, credit losses represent the present value of the estimated paymentsthat the Company would make to compensate the contract holder for the credit losses incurred minus theamounts expected to be received from the contract holder, the debtor, or any other party.

4) For financial assets that have become credit impaired as of the balance sheet date but were not creditimpaired at initial recognition or originated as credit impaired, credit losses represent the difference betweenthe book value of the financial asset and the present value of estimated future cash flows discounted at theoriginal effective interest rate.

The factors reflected in the Company's method for measuring expected credit losses on financialinstruments include: unbiased probability-weighted average amounts determined by evaluating a range ofpossible outcomes; the time value of money; reasonable and substantiated information regarding past events,current conditions, and forecasts of future economic conditions that are available on the balance sheet datewithout incurring undue cost or effort.

(4) Write-down of financial assets

When the Company no longer reasonably expects to recover all or part of the contractual cash flows of afinancial asset, the book balance of that financial asset should be written down directly. Such write-downconstitutes the derecognition of the related financial asset.

7.Offsetting Financial Assets and Financial

Financial assets and financial liabilities are separately presented in the balance sheet without offsetting.However, the net amount after offsetting is presented in the balance sheet if all of the following conditions aremet:

(1) The Company holds a legal right to offset recognized amounts, and such right is currently enforceable;

(2) The Company intends to settle on a net basis, or to realize the financial asset and settle the financialliability simultaneously.

1.Classification of Inventory

Inventory refers to finished products or goods held by the Company for sale, work in progress products,and materials and supplies consumed in the production process or service provision process. It mainly includesraw materials, work in progress products, inventory goods, and issued goods.

2.Valuation Method for Inventory

At the time of acquisition, inventory is initially measured at cost, including purchase cost, processing cost,and other costs. The inventory is valued using the Monthly-end Weighted Average Method when it is issued.

3.Inventory Counting System

The perpetual inventory system is used for inventory counting.

4.Amortization Method for Low-value Consumables and Packaging

(1) Low-value consumables are amortized using the one-off write-off method;

(2) Packaging is amortized using the one-off write-off method;

(3) Other turnover materials are amortized using the one-off write-off method.

Recognition Criteria and Provision Method for Inventory Write down?Applicable □ Not Applicable

Following a comprehensive inventory inspection at the end of the period, inventory write-down areprovisioned or adjusted based on the lower of cost or net realizable value of the inventory. For good inventoriesdirectly used for sale, such as finished goods, goods for resale, and materials used for sale, the net realizablevalue is determined during normal production and operation by subtracting estimated selling expenses andrelated taxes from the estimated selling price of the inventory. For material inventory requiring processing, thenet realizable value is determined during normal production and operation by subtracting estimated costs atcompletion, estimated selling expenses, and related taxes from the estimated selling price of the finishedproducts. For inventory held to fulfill sales contracts or service contracts, the net realizable value is calculatedbased on the contract price. If the quantity of inventory held exceeds the ordered quantity in the sales contract,the net realizable value of the excess inventory is calculated based on the general selling price.

The provision for inventory write-down is made on an individual-item basis at the end of the period;however, for inventories with numerous quantities and low unit prices, the provision for inventory write-downis made according to inventory category. For inventories related to product series produced and sold in thesame region, with similar or identical ultimate uses or purposes, and difficult to measure separately from other

items, the provision for inventory write-down is consolidated.

Once the factors affecting the write-down of inventory value have disappeared, the amount of write-downshould be restored and reversed within the originally provided inventory write-down amount, with the reversedamount recorded in the profit or loss for the current period.

□Applicable ?Not Applicable

Recognition Criteria and Accounting Treatment Method for Non-current Assets or Disposal PortfoliosHeld for Sale?Applicable □ Not Applicable

1.Recognition Criteria for Classification as Held for Sale

Non-current assets or disposal portfolios meeting both of the following conditions are recognized as heldfor sale:

(1) According to the usual practice in similar transactions, the assets or disposal portfolios can be soldimmediately under current conditions;

(2) The sale is highly probable, meaning that the Company has made a decision on a sale plan and obtaineda firm commitment to purchase, with the sale expected to be completed within one year.

A firm commitment to purchase refers to a legally binding purchase agreement between the Company andanother party, which contains significant terms such as the transaction price, time, and sufficiently severepenalties for breach, minimizing the possibility of significant adjustments or cancellations.

2.Accounting Treatment Method for Classification as Held for Sale

Depreciation or amortization is not provided for non-current assets or disposal portfolios held for sale. Iftheir book value exceeds the net amount of fair value less selling expenses, the book value should be writtendown to the net amount of fair value less selling expenses, and the written-down amount should be recognizedas impairment loss on assets and recorded in the profit or loss for the current period, with the provisions forimpairment of assets held for sale.

For non-current assets or disposal portfolios classified as held for sale at the acquisition date, the lowerof the initially measured amount if they are not classified as held for sale and the net amount of fair value lessselling expenses should be compared at the initial measurement.

The above principles apply to all non-current assets, excluding investment properties measured using thefair value model, biological assets measured at net amount of fair value less selling expenses, assets arisingfrom employee compensation, deferred income tax assets, financial assets regulated by financial instrument-related accounting standards, and rights arising from insurance contracts regulated by insurance contract-related accounting standards.

?Applicable □ Not Applicable

1.Determination of Initial Investment Cost

(1) For specific accounting policies for long-term equity investments resulting from enterprise merger,please refer to (6) - Accounting Treatment Method for Enterprise Merger under the Same Control and not underthe Same Control in Section V - Significant Accounting Policies and Estimates.

(2) Long-term equity investments acquired through other means

For long-term equity investments acquired via cash payment, the initial investment cost is the actuallypaid purchase price. It encompasses expenses directly associated with the acquisition of the long-term equityinvestments, as well as taxes and other necessary expenditures.

For long-term equity investments acquired through the issuance of equity securities, the initial investmentcost is the fair value of the equity securities issued. Transaction costs incurred in the issuance or acquisition ofequity instruments can be directly attributed to equity transactions and deducted from equity.

In non-monetary asset exchanges where there exists commercial substance and the fair value of the assetsreceived or given up can be reliably measured, the initial investment cost of long-term equity investments

received in exchange for non-monetary assets is determined based on the fair value of the assets given up,unless there is conclusive evidence that the fair value of the assets received is more reliable. For non-monetaryasset exchanges that do not meet the above conditions, the initial investment cost of the long-term equityinvestment received is determined based on the book value of the assets given up and the relevant taxes payable.For long-term equity investments acquired through debt restructuring, their initial investment cost isdetermined based on their fair value.2.Subsequent Measurement and Profit/Loss Recognition

(1) Cost Method

The Company may adopt the cost method to account for long-term equity investments in the investedunits over which it exercises control, value them based on their initial investment cost, and add or withdrawinvestment to adjust the cost of long-term equity investments.In addition to the the cash dividends or profits declared but not yet distributed included in the price orconsideration actually paid at the acquisition of investment, the Company recognizes the cash dividends orprofits, as declared by the the invested units, as current investment income.

(2) Equity Method

The Company adopts the equity method to account for long-term equity investments in associates andjoint ventures. Equity investments in associates with a portion indirectly held through venture capitalinstitutions, mutual funds, trust companies, or similar entities, including investment-linked insurance funds,should be measured at fair value, with changes therein recorded in profit or loss.

If the initial investment cost of a long-term equity investment exceeds the difference between theCompany's share of the fair value of identifiable net assets of the invested unit at the time of investment, noadjustment is made to the initial investment cost of the long-term equity investment. If the initial investmentcost is less than the difference mentioned above, it is recorded in the profit or loss for the current period.

After acquiring a long-term equity investment, the Company separately recognizes investment incomeand other comprehensive income based on its share of the net profit and other comprehensive income realizedby the invested unit, and adjusts the book value of the long-term equity investment. The Company also reducesthe book value of long-term equity investment correspondingly based on its share of the profits or cashdividends declared by the invested unit. In case of any other changes in the owners’ equity, excluding net profit,other comprehensive income, and profit distribution of the invested unit, adjustments should be made to thebook value of the long-term equity investment and recorded in the owners’ equity.

When recognizing its share of the net profit or loss in the invested unit, the Company adjusts and thenrecognizes the net profits of the invested unit based on the fair value of various identifiable assets of theinvested unit at the time of investment. The profit or loss from unrealized internal transactions between theCompany and associates or joint ventures are offset based on the Company's proportionate share, andinvestment income is recognized thereafter.

When recognizing the invested unit’s losses to be borne by it, the Company take the following steps: (1)Offset the book value of long-term equity investments; (2) Continue to recognize investment losses at anamount limited to the book value of the long-term equity that materially represents the net investment in the

invested unit and offset the book value of long-term receivables, etc., if the book value of the long-terminvestments are insufficient to offset. (3) After the above treatments, if the Company still bears additionalobligations according to the investment contract or agreement, it should recognize the estimated liabilitiesaccording to the estimated obligations and record them in the investment loss for the current period.

If the invested unit realizes profits in subsequent periods, the Company, after deducting the unrecognizedloss-sharing amount, proceeds to the aforementioned steps in reverse order: Write down the book balance ofrecognized estimated liabilities, restore the book value of long-term equity and long-term equity investmentthat materially represent investment in the invested unit, and then restore and recognize investment income.

3. Conversion of Accounting Method for Long-term Equity Investments

(1) Conversion from Fair Value Measurement to Equity Method for Accounting

For equity investments held by the Company without control, joint control, or significant influence overthe invested unit, recognized using financial instruments and accounted for using measurement standards,which, due to additional investments or other reasons, are able to exert significant influence over the investedunit or exercise joint control without constituting control, the initial investment cost for equity investmentsaccounted for by the equity method is determined by adding the fair value of the originally held equityinvestments determined in accordance with the Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises No. 22 -Recognition and Measurement of Financial Instruments to the additional investment cost.

If the initial investment cost accounted for by the equity method is less than the difference between thenewly calculated shares of fair value of identifiable net assets of the invested unit on the date of additionalinvestment, adjustments are made to the book value of long-term equity investments and recorded in the non-operating income for the current period.

(2) Measurement at Fair Value or Conversion of Equity Method to Cost Method for Accounting

For equity investments previously held by the Company without control, joint control, or significantinfluence over the invested unit, recognized using financial instruments and accounted for using measurementstandards, or for long-term equity investments previously held in associates or joint ventures, which, due toadditional investments or other reasons, are able to exercise control over invested unit not under the samecontrol, the sum of the book value of equity investments previously held and the cost of additional investmentsis treated as the initial investment cost accounted for by the cost method in the preparation of individualfinancial statements.

Any other comprehensive income recognized in equity investments held prior to the acquisition date andaccounted for using the equity method should be accounted for using the same basis as the invested unit's directdisposal of related assets or liabilities when disposing of the investment.

For equity investments held prior to the acquisition date and accounted for in accordance with the relevantprovisions specified in the Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises No. 22 - Recognition andMeasurement of Financial Instruments, cumulative fair value changes previously recorded in othercomprehensive income are transferred to the profit or loss for the current period when converted to the costmethod.

(3) Conversion of Equity Method Accounting to Fair Value Measurement

If the Company loses joint control or significant influence over an invested unit due to the disposal of partof its equity investments or other reasons, the remaining equity after disposal is accounted for in accordancewith the Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises No. 22 - Recognition and Measurement of FinancialInstruments. The difference between the fair value and the book value on the day of losing joint control orsignificant influence is recorded in the profit or loss for the current period.Any other comprehensive income recognized and accounting for by equity method for original equityinvestments should be accounted for using the same basis as the invested unit's direct disposal of related assetsor liabilities when terminating the adoption of the equity method for accounting.

(4) Conversion of Cost Method to Equity Method

If the Company loses control over an invested unit due to the disposal of part of its equity investments orother reasons, and the remaining equity after disposal is able to exercise joint control or exert significantinfluence over the invested unit, the remaining equity should be accounted for using the equity method, andshould be adjusted as if it had been accounted for using the equity method from the acquisition date.

(5) Conversion of Cost Method to Fair Value Measurement

If the Company loses control over an invested unit due to the disposal of part of its equity investments orother reasons, and the remaining equity after disposal cannot exercise joint control or exert significant influenceover the invested unit, the remaining equity should be accounted for in accordance with the relevant provisionsspecified in the Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises No. 22 - Recognition and Measurement ofFinancial Instruments. The difference between the fair value and the book value on the day of losing controlis recorded in the profit or loss for the current period.

4. Disposal of Long-term Equity Investments

The difference between the book value and the actually received price for the disposal of long-term equityinvestments should be recorded in the profit or loss for the current period. For long-term equity investmentsaccounted for using the equity method, the same basis as the invested unit's direct disposal of related assets orliabilities should be used when the investment is disposed of, and the portion originally recorded in othercomprehensive income should be accounted for proportionally.

When the terms, conditions and economic impact of transactions involving the disposal of equityinvestments in subsidiaries meet one or more of the following circumstances, multiple transaction mattersshould be accounted for as a package deal:

(1) These transactions are concluded simultaneously or taking into account their mutual impacts;

(2) These transactions collectively achieve a complete business outcome;

(3) The occurrence of one transaction depends on the occurrence of at least one other transaction;

(4) A transaction is uneconomical when considered alone, but becomes economical when consideredtogether with other transactions.

If the control over a subsidiary is lost due to the disposal of part of the equity investment or other reasonsand the transaction does not constitute a package deal, individual financial statements and consolidatedfinancial statements should be distinguished and relevant accounting treatment should be applied:

(1) In individual financial statements, the difference between the book value and the actually received

price for the disposed equity should be recorded in the profit or loss for the current period. If the remainingequity after disposal can exercise joint control or exert significant influence over the invested unit, it should beaccounted for using the equity method, and should be adjusted as if it had been accounted for using the equitymethod from the acquisition date; if the remaining equity after disposal cannot exercise joint control or exertsignificant influence over the invested unit, it should be accounted for in accordance with the relevantprovisions specified in the Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises No. 22 - Recognition andMeasurement of Financial Instruments, and the difference between the fair value and the book value on theday of losing control should be recorded in the profit or loss for the current period.

(2) In consolidated financial statements, for transactions before the loss of control over a subsidiary, thedifference between the disposal price and the corresponding share of net assets of the subsidiary calculatedcontinuously from the acquisition date or merger date, should be offset by capital reserve (share premium). Ifcapital reserve is insufficient to offset, the retained earnings should be adjusted. After losing control over asubsidiary, the remaining equity should be remeasured at fair value on the date of loss of control. The sum ofthe price received for the disposal of equity and the fair value of the remaining equity, minus the proportionateshare of net assets of the original subsidiary calculated from the acquisition date at the original ownershipproportion, should be recorded in the investment income for the period of loss of control, and offset by goodwill.Other comprehensive income related to the equity investments in the original subsidiary should be transferredto current investment income upon loss of control.

Transactions involving the disposal of equity investments in subsidiaries until control is lost, which arepart of a package deal, are accounted for as a single transaction for the disposal of equity investments insubsidiaries and losing control over subsidiaries, with separate accounting treatment for individual financialstatements and consolidated financial statements.

(1) In individual financial statements, the difference between each disposal price and the book value ofthe long-term equity investments corresponding to the disposed equity before the loss of control is recognizedas other comprehensive income and transferred to the profit or loss for the current period when control is lost.

(2) In consolidated financial statements, the difference between each disposal value and the share of thenet assets of the subsidiary corresponding to the disposed investment is recognized as other comprehensiveincome before the loss of control and transferred to the profit or loss for the current period when control is lost.

5. Judgement Criteria for Joint Control and Significant Influence

If the Company collectively controls an arrangement with other parties in accordance with relevantagreements and decisions that significantly affect the returns from the arrangement require unanimous consentof the parties sharing control, it is considered that the Company jointly controls the arrangement with otherparties, and the arrangement falls under the category of joint arrangements.

If a joint arrangement is reached through a separate entity, the Company treats the separate entity as ajoint venture and applies the equity method for accounting based on relevant agreements when determining itsright to the net assets of that separate entity. If it is determined based on relevant agreements that the Companydoes not have the right to the net assets of that separate entity, the separate entity is treated as a joint operation,and the Company recognizes items related to its interest in joint operations and accounts for them in accordance

with relevant Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises.Significant influence refers to the power of the investing party to participate in the decision-making of thefinancial and operating policies of the invested unit, without control or jointly control with other parties overthe formulation of these policies. The Company determines significant influence on the invested unit based onone or more of the following circumstances and takes into consideration all facts and circumstances: (1) Havingrepresentatives to the board of directors or similar governing bodies of the invested unit; (2) Participating inthe process of formulating the financial and operating policies of the invested unit; (3) Engaging in significanttransactions with the invested unit; (4) Deploying management personnel to the invested unit; (5) Providingcritical technical information to the invested unit.

?Applicable □ Not Applicable1.Recognition Conditions for Fixed AssetsFixed assets refer to tangible assets held for the purpose of producing goods, providing services, renting,or managing operations, and whose useful life exceeds one accounting year. Fixed assets are recognized whenboth of the following conditions are met:

(1) Economic benefits related to the fixed assets are likely to flow into the enterprise;

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

2.Initial Measurement of Fixed AssetsFixed assets of the company are initially measured based on cost.

(1) The cost of externally acquired fixed assets includes the purchase price, import tariffs, and other taxes

and fees related to the asset, as well as other expenses directly attributable to the asset before it reaches

the intended usable state.

(2) The cost of self-constructed fixed assets consists of necessary expenses incurred before the assetreaches the intended usable state.

(3) Fixed assets contributed by investors are booked the entry value agreed upon in the investment contractor agreement, but if the value agreed upon in the contract or agreement is not fair, it is booked fair value.

(4) If the purchase price of fixed assets exceeds the normal credit terms with deferred payment and has asubstantive financing nature, the cost of the fixed assets is determined based on the present value of thepurchase price. The difference between the actually paid price and the present value of the purchase price isrecorded in the current profit or loss during the credit period.

3.Subsequent Measurement and Disposal of Fixed Assets

(1) Depreciation of Fixed Assets

Depreciation of fixed assets is provided over their estimated useful lives after deducting the estimated residualvalue from their entry value. For fixed assets for which impairment provisions have been made, depreciation

is is calculated in future periods based on the remaining book value and the estimated remaining useful lifeafter deducting the impairment provisions. Fixed assets that have been fully depreciated and are still in use arenot subject to further depreciation.For fixed assets arising from expenditure funded by special reserves, the cost of these fixed assets is offsetagainst the special reserves and an equivalent amount of accumulated depreciation is recognized, with nodepreciation being provided in subsequent periods.The Company determines the useful life and estimated residual value of fixed assets based on their nature andusage. At the end of each year, the useful life, estimated residual value, and depreciation method of fixed assetsare reviewed, and adjustments are made if there are differences from the original estimates.

(2) Subsequent Expenditures on Fixed Assets

Subsequent expenditures related to fixed assets are recorded in the cost of fixed assets if they meet therecognition conditions for fixed assets; or recorded in the profit or loss for the current period if they do notmeet the recognition conditions for fixed assets.

(3) Disposal of Fixed Assets

When fixed assets are disposed of or when it is expected that no economic benefits will arise from theiruse or disposal, such fixed assets are derecognized. The disposal proceeds from the sale, transfer, scrapping ordamage of fixed assets, after the deduction of their book value and relevant taxes, are recorded in the profit orloss for the current period.

1.Initial Measurement of Construction in Progress

Construction in progress, self-constructed by the Company, is valued at actual cost, which comprisesnecessary expenses incurred until the asset reaches the intended usable state, including cost of materials, labor,relevant taxes paid, borrowing costs to be capitalized, and indirect costs to be allocated.

2.Criteria and Timing for Capitalization of Construction in Progress into Fixed Assets

All expenditures incurred before the intended usable state is achieved for construction in progress projectsare recognized as the entry value of fixed assets. When construction in progress has reached the intended usable

state but final settlement has not been completed, it is capitalized into fixed assets based on the estimated valuedetermined by project budget, construction cost, or actual project cost and depreciation is then provided basedon the Company's fixed asset depreciation policy. After the final settlement, the estimated value is adjustedaccording to the actual cost, but previously provided depreciation is not adjusted.

23. Borrowing Costs

?Applicable □ Not Applicable1.Recognition Principle for Capitalization of Borrowing CostsBorrowing costs incurred by the Company that are directly attributable to the acquisition or constructionof qualifying assets for capitalization are capitalized and recorded in the cost of related assets; other borrowingcosts are recognized as expenses based on their amounts when incurred.

Qualifying assets for capitalization refer to assets such as fixed assets, investment properties andinventories that require a substantial period of time for acquisition or construction activities to reach theirintended usable or saleable status.

Borrowing costs are eligible for capitalization when all of the following conditions are met:

(1) Expenditure for the asset has been incurred, including payments in cash, the transfer of non-cash assets,or the assumption of interest-bearing liabilities for acquisition, construction or production of qualifying assetsfor capitalization;

(2) Borrowing costs have been incurred;

(3) The necessary acquisition, construction, or production activities to bring the asset to its intended usableor saleable state have commenced.

2.Capitalization Period for Borrowing Costs

The capitalization period refers to the duration from the commencement of capitalizing borrowing coststo the cessation of such capitalization, excluding periods when capitalization of borrowing costs is suspended

Capitalization of borrowing costs halts when the qualifying assets for capitalization reaches the intendedusable or saleable status.

When parts of a qualifying asset for capitalization are completed and can be used separately, capitalizationof borrowing costs for those parts halts.

For assets where parts are completed but cannot be used or sold until the entire asset is completed,capitalization of borrowing costs halts when the entire asset is completed.

3.Suspension Period for Capitalization

If there is an abnormal interruption during the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying assetfor capitalization and the interruption lasts continuously for more than three months, capitalization ofborrowing costs is suspended. Capitalization will continue if the interruption is necessary for the asset to reachits intended usable or saleable state. Borrowing costs incurred during the interruption period are recognized asprofit or loss for the current period and their capitalization will continue until the resumption of assetacquisition, construction or production activities.

4.Calculation Method for Capitalized Amount of Borrowing Costs

Interest costs on specific borrowings (net of interest income earned from the deposit of the borrowed

funds not yet used or from temporary investments) and related auxiliary costs are capitalized until thequalifying asset for capitalization under acquisition, construction or production reaches its intended usable orsaleable state.

The amount of interest from general borrowings to be capitalized is calculated by multiplying theweighted average of accumulated expenditure on the asset over the specific borrowings by the capitalizationrate of the general borrowings. The capitalization rate is determined based on the weighted average interestrate of general borrowings.If borrowing carries a discount or premium, the amount of discount or premium to be amortized duringeach accounting period is determined using the effective interest method, with adjustments to the interestamount for each period.

?Applicable □ Not Applicable

Intangible assets refer to identifiable non-monetary assets without physical form controlled or owned bythe Company, including land use rights, software, and licenses for patent usage.

1.Initial Measurement of Intangible Assets

The cost of externally acquired intangible assets includes the purchase price, related taxes, and otherexpenses directly attributable to bringing the asset to its intended use. If the purchase price of intangible assetsexceeds the normal credit terms with deferred payment and has a substantive financing nature, the cost ofintangible assets is determined based on the present value of the purchase price.

When debt restructuring results in the acquisition of intangible assets used by the debtor to settle debt, thefair value of these intangible assets is used to determine their entry value. The difference between the bookvalue of the restructured debt and the fair value of the intangible assets used for settlement is recorded in theprofit or loss for the current period.

For non-monetary asset exchanges where commercial substance exists and the fair value of the assetreceived or given up can be reliably measured, the entry value of the intangible assets received in exchange fornon-monetary assets is determined based on the fair value of the asset given up, unless there is conclusiveevidence that the fair value of the asset received is more reliable. For non-monetary asset exchanges that donot meet the above criteria, the book value of the asset given up and any related taxes and fees payable aretreated as the cost of the intangible asset received, with no profit or loss recognized.

The entry value of intangible assets acquired through enterprise merger under the same control isdetermined based on the book value of the merged party. The entry value of intangible assets acquired throughenterprise merger not under the same control is determined based on the fair value.

The cost of internally developed intangible assets includes materials consumed, labor costs, registrationfees, amortization of other patents and licenses used during development, interest expenses for meeting thecapitalization conditions, and other direct expenses incurred before the intangible asset reaches its intendeduse.

2.Subsequent Measurement of Intangible Assets

The company analyzes and assesses the useful life of intangible assets at the time of acquisition, and classifiesthem as having either finite or indefinite useful lives.

(1) Intangible Assets with Finite Useful Lives

For intangible assets with finite useful lives, straight-line amortization is applied over the period duringwhich the asset is expected to generate economic benefits. The estimated useful lives of such assets and theirbasis are as follows:

ItemEstimated Useful LifeBasis
Land Use Rights50 yearsLand Use Certificate
Software10 yearsContractual Agreements and Tax Law Provisions
Licenses for Patent Usage4.75-8.25 yearsBenefit Period

At the end of each period, the useful lives of and depreciation methods for intangible assets with finiteuseful lives are reviewed, and adjusted when necessary.

(2) Intangible Assets with Indefinite Useful Lives

Intangible assets for which the period of economic benefit cannot be reliably predicted are considered tohave indefinite useful lives.

The Company does not have any intangible assets with indefinite useful lives.

For impairment testing methods and impairment provision methods for intangible assets, refer to (27) -Impairment of Long-term Assets in Section V - Significant Accounting Policies and Estimates.

(5) Expenditures attributable to the development stage of the intangible asset can be reliably measured.

Expenditures incurred during the development phase that do not meet the above conditions are recordedin the profit or loss for the current period when they occur. Development expenditures previously recorded inprofit or loss are re-recognized as assets in subsequent periods. Capitalized expenditures during thedevelopment phase are presented on the balance sheet as development expenditures and are reclassified asintangible assets from the date the project reaches its intended use.

27. Impairment of Long-term Assets

?Applicable □ Not Applicable

The Company assesses whether long-term assets may be impaired as of the balance sheet date. If thereare indicators of impairment for long-term assets, the recoverable amount is estimated on an individual assetbasis. If it is difficult to estimate the recoverable amount for an individual asset, the recoverable amount of theasset portfolio to which the asset belongs is used as the basis for determination.

The estimation of the recoverable amount of an asset is determined by the net amount of its fair value lessdisposal costs or its present value of expected future cash flows, whichever is higher.

The measurement results of the recoverable amount indicates that if a long-term asset’s recoverableamount is less than its book value, the book value is written down to the recoverable amount, and the written-down amount is recognized as an impairment loss and recorded in the profit or loss for the current period, withthe provision for asset impairment being provided accordingly. Once an asset impairment loss is recognized,it cannot be reversed in subsequent accounting periods.

After recognition of asset impairment losses, the expenses on depreciation or amortization of impairedassets are adjusted accordingly in future periods to systematically allocate the adjusted book value of the assets(net of estimated net residual value) over the remaining useful life.

For goodwill arising from enterprise merger and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives, impairmenttests are conducted annually regardless of whether there are indicators of impairment.

When conducting impairment tests on goodwill, the book value of goodwill is allocated to the assetportfolio or asset portfolios that are expected to benefit from the synergy effects of the enterprise merger. Whenconducting impairment tests on asset portfolio or asset portfolios containing goodwill, if there are indicatorsof impairment related to the asset portfolio or asset portfolios containing goodwill, impairment tests are firstconducted on asset portfolio or asset portfolios without goodwill, and then the recoverable amount is calculated,and compared with the book value to recognize the corresponding impairment loss. Subsequently, impairmenttests are conducted on asset portfolio or asset portfolios containing goodwill, and the book value (including

the book value portion of allocated goodwill) of the related asset portfolio or asset portfolios is compared withtheir recoverable amount. If the recoverable amount of the related asset portfolio or asset portfolios is lowerthan their book value, impairment losses on goodwill are recognized.

30. Employee Compensation

(1) Method for Accounting Treatment of Short-term Compensation

?Applicable □ Not Applicable

Short-term compensation refers to the employee compensation that the Company is obligated to paywithin twelve months after the end of the annual reporting period in which the employees provide relevantservices, excluding post-employment benefits and termination benefits. During the accounting period in whichemployees provide services, short-term compensation payable is recognized as a liability, and is recorded inrelated asset costs and expenses based on the benefits derived from the services provided by employees.

(2) Method for Accounting Treatment of Post-Employment Benefits

?Applicable □ Not Applicable

Post-employment benefits refer to various forms of compensation and benefits provided by the Companyto employees upon retirement or termination of employment with the Company for attaining the servicesprovided by employees, excluding short-term compensation and termination benefits.

All of the Company's post-employment benefit plans are defined contribution plans.

The Company's defined contribution plan for post-employment benefits primarily include participation inbasic social pension insurance, unemployment insurance, etc. organized and implemented by local labor and

social security institutions. During the accounting period in which employees provide services to the Company,the amount payable calculated based on the defined contribution plan is recognized as a liability, and isrecorded in the profit or loss for the current period or related asset costs.After making regular payments for the above items in accordance with national standards, the Companyno longer has any further payment obligations.

(3) Method for Accounting Treatment of Termination Benefits

?Applicable □ Not Applicable

Termination benefits refer to compensations provided by the Company to employees due to terminationof their employment contracts before their expiration or as incentives for voluntary layoffs. These arerecognized as liabilities arising from compensations for terminating employment contracts when the Companycannot unilaterally withdraw termination plans or layoff proposals, and when costs related to restructuringinvolving payments for termination benefits are confirmed, whichever occurs earlier, and are simultaneouslyrecorded in the profit or loss for the current period.

(4) Method for Accounting Treatment of Other Long-term Employee Benefits?Applicable □ Not Applicable

Other long-term employee benefits refer to all employee benefits other than short-term compensation,post-employment benefits, and termination benefits.

For other long-term employee benefits that meet the conditions of the defined contribution plan, theamount payable is recognized as a liability and recorded in the profit or loss for the current period or relatedasset costs during the accounting period in which employees provide services to the Company.

31. Estimated Liabilities

?Applicable □ Not Applicable

1.Recognition Criteria for Estimated Liabilities

The Company recognizes the obligations related to contingent matters as estimated liabilities when all ofthe following conditions are met:

The obligation is a present obligation of the Company;

Fulfilling the obligation is likely to result in an outflow of economic benefits from the Company;

The amount of the obligation can be reliably measured.

2.Measurement Method for Estimated Liabilities

The estimated liabilities of the Company are initially measured at the best estimate of the expenditurerequired to fulfill the related present obligation.

When determining the best estimate, the Company takes into account comprehensively factors such asrisks, uncertainties, and the time value of money related to the contingent liabilities. For contingent liabilitieswith significant impact on the time value of money, the best estimate should be determined by discounting therelevant future cash outflows.

The best estimate is handled as follows:

In cases where there is a continuous range (or interval) of expenditures and each possible outcome withinthe range occurs with equal probability, the best estimate should be determined based on the average of theupper and lower limits of the range.

In cases where there is no continuous range (or interval) of expenditures, or although there is a continuousrange, the probabilities of occurrence of various outcomes within the range are not equal, the best estimateshould be determined based on the most likely amount if the contingent matter relates to a single item andshould be calculated based on various possible outcomes and their probabilities if the contingent liabilityinvolves multiple items.

If all or part of the expenditures required to settle the estimated liabilities are expected to be compensatedby a third party, the compensation amount should be separately recognized as an asset when it is virtuallycertain to be received, with the recognized compensation amount not exceeding the book value of the estimatedliabilities.

32. Share-based Payment

?Applicable □ Not Applicable

1.Types of Share-based Payment

The share-based payment by the Company is categorized into share-based payment settled by equity andshare-based payment settled by cash.

2.Method for Determining Fair Value of Equity Instruments

For granted equity instruments such as options with active markets, their fair value is determined basedon quotes from such active markets. For granted equity instruments such as options without active markets,their fair value is determined using option pricing model or other methods. The following factors are consideredin the selected option pricing model: (1) exercise price of the option; (2) term of the option; (3) current priceof the underlying shares; (4) expected volatility of share prices; (5) expected dividends of shares; (6) risk-freeinterest rate during the term of the option.

When determining the fair value on the grant date of equity instruments, the Company takes into accountthe impact of market conditions and non-market conditions in the exercisable conditions for exercising asstipulated in the share-based compensation agreement. If non-exercisable conditions exist, as long asemployees or other parties meet all non-market conditions among all exercisable conditions (such as serviceperiods), the corresponding cost of services received is recognized.

3.Basis for Determining the Best Estimate of Exercisable Equity Instruments

On each balance sheet date during the vesting period, the best estimate is made based on the latest changesin the number of eligible employees for exercise and other subsequent information, with adjustment to theestimated quantity of exercisable equity instruments. On the exercise date, the final estimated quantity ofexercisable equity instruments matches the actual quantity of such instruments.

4.Accounting Treatment Method

Share-based payment settled by equity is measured at the fair value of equity instruments granted toemployees. Instruments exercisable immediately after grant are recorded in related costs or expenses on thegrant date at their fair value, with capital reserves increased accordingly. For instruments exercisable after

completing the services during the vesting period or achieving specified performance conditions, on eachbalance sheet date within the vesting period, the current services obtained are recorded in related costs orexpenses and capital reserves based on the best estimate of the quantity of exercisable equity instruments, atthe fair value on the grant date. No adjustments are made to relevant recognized costs or expenses and totalowners’ equity after the exercise date.Share-based payment settled by cash is measured at the fair value of the liability calculated based onshares or other equity instruments held by the Company. For instruments exercisable immediately after grant,the fair value of the liability borne by the Company is recorded in related costs or expenses on the grant date,with liabilities increased accordingly. For share-based payment settled by cash exercisable after completingthe services the vesting period or achieving specified performance conditions, on each balance sheet datewithin the vesting period, the current services obtained are recorded in costs or expenses and correspondingliabilities based on the best estimate of the exercisable situation, at the amount of fair value of the liabilityborne by the Company. The fair value of the liability is remeasured at each balance sheet date and settlementdate, with changes recognized during the Current Period profit or loss.If granted equity instruments are canceled during the vesting period, the Company treats the cancellationof granted equity instruments as accelerated exercise, immediately records the amount to be recognized in theremaining vesting period in the profit or loss for the current period, and recognizes capital reserves. Ifemployees or other parties choose to satisfy non-exercisable conditions but fail to do so within the vestingperiod, the Company treats it as cancellation of the granted equity instruments.

34. Revenue

(1). Accounting Policies for Disclosure of Revenue Recognition and Measurement by Business Type?Applicable □ Not ApplicableThe Company's revenue mainly arise from the following business types: sales of food flavor and textureoptimization products, animal nutrition amino acids, human medical amino acids, and related by-products.1.General Principles of Revenue RecognitionThe Company recognizes revenue at the transaction price allocated to that performance obligation whenit fulfills its obligations under contracts, i.e., when customers obtains the control over the relevant goods orservices.

Performance obligations refer to commitment by the Company in the contract to transfer clearlyidentifiable goods or services to the customer..Obtaining control over relevant goods refers to the ability to direct the use of the goods and receive almostall of the economic benefits from them.The Company evaluates a contract at the commencement date to identify individual performanceobligations and determine whether those obligations are to be fulfilled over a period or at a specific moment.If one of the following conditions is met, the obligations are considered to be fulfilled over a period, and

revenue is recognized by the Company over the defined period based on the progression of fulfillment: (1) thecustomer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits derived from the Company's performance; (2) thecustomer can exercise control over the goods under construction during the Company's performance; (3) thegoods produced by the Company during performance serve an indispensable purpose and the Company hasthe right to receive payment for the cumulative performance up to now over the entire contract period.Otherwise, the Company recognize revenue at the moment when the customer obtains control of the relevantgoods or services.For performance obligations fulfilled over a period, the Company determines the appropriate progressusing the output method/input method based on the nature of the goods and services. The output methoddetermines the performance progress based on the value of the goods transferred to the customer (the inputmethod determines the performance progress based on the Company’s inputs to fulfill its performanceobligations). When the performance progress cannot be reasonably determined, and the costs already incurredis likely to be reimbursed, revenue is recognized based on the amount of costs incurred until the performanceprogress can be reasonably determined.

2.Specific Methods for Revenue Recognition

The Company's business of selling products such as food flavor and texture optimization products, animalnutrition amino acids and human medical amino acids typically only involves the obligation to transfer goods.The revenue recognition policy primarily makes a distinction between domestic and export customerclassifications. The specific methods for revenue recognition are as follows:

Domestic Sales: According to the contracts or orders signed with the customer, revenue realization isrecognized by the Company at the moment when goods are delivered to the customer, and the customer takescontrol over the goods upon receipt.

Export Sales: According to the contracts or orders signed with the customer, sales revenue realization isrecognized by the Company on the export date specified on the custom declaration, upon the completion ofloading goods onto the vessel, the completion of customs clearance procedures, and the transfer of controltransferring over the goods.

3.Revenue Treatment Principles for Specific Transactions

(1) Contracts with Sales Return Provisions

For sales contracts with sales return provisions, the Company recognizes revenue when the customerobtains control of the related goods based on the amount of consideration expected to be received fromtransferring goods to the customer (excluding the amount expected to be refunded due to sales returns), andrecognizes liabilities based on the amount expected to be refunded due to sales returns. Additionally, thebalance after deducting the estimated cost (including the depreciation in the value of the returned goods) ofreturning the goods from the book value of the goods expected to be returned at the time of transfer isrecognized as an asset. Subsequently, the net amount after deducting the cost of the asset from the book valueof the goods at the time of transfer is carried forward as cost.

(2) Contracts with Quality Assurance Provisions

For sales contracts with quality assurance provisions, if the quality assurance provides a separate service

beyond assuring that the goods or services sold meet established standards, it constitutes a separateperformance obligation. Otherwise, the Company accounts for the quality assurance responsibility accordingto the Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises No. 13 - Contingencies.

(3) Contracts with Customer Options for Additional Purchases

Customer options for additional purchases include sales incentive measures, additional discounts forfuture goods or services, etc. For options for additional purchases that provide the customer with significantrights, the Company treats them as separate performance obligations and recognizes relevant revenues whenthe customer exercises the purchase options to obtain control over relevant goods or services in the future orwhen the options expire. When the standalone selling price of customer options for additional purchases cannotbe directly observed, the Company estimates it by considering all relevant information, including differencesin discounts obtained from exercising and not exercising the options and the likelihood of exercising theoptions.

(4) Principal vs. Agent

The Company determines whether it acts as a principal or an agent based on whether it has control overthe goods or services before transferring them to the customer. If the company can exercise control over thegoods or services before transferring them to the customer, it acts as a principal and recognizes revenue basedon the total consideration received or receivable. Otherwise, the company acts as an agent and recognizesrevenue based on the amount of commission or handling fees expected to be entitled to receive. Such amountis determined by deducting the amounts payable to other related parties from the total consideration receivedor receivable.

(2) Different Revenue Recognition and Measurement Methods for Similar Businesses with DifferentOperating Models

□Applicable ?Not Applicable

35. Contract Costs

?Applicable □ Not Applicable

1. Contract Performance Costs

Costs incurred by the Company to perform contracts are recognized as an asset if they meet all of thefollowing conditions and are not within the scope of other Accounting Standards for Business Enterprisesexcluding revenue standards:

(1) The cost is directly related to a contract either currently or expected to be obtained, including directlabor, direct materials, manufacturing expenses (or similar expenses), costs explicitly borne by the customer,and other costs incurred solely due to the contract;

(2) The cost increases the resources available for the Company to fulfill its performance obligations;

(3) The cost is expected to be recoverable.

This asset is presented under inventories or other non-current assets based on whether the amortizationperiod exceeds one normal operating cycle at the time of initial recognition.

2. Contract Obtaining Costs

Incremental costs incurred by the Company to obtain contracts and expected to be recoverable are

recognized as an asset. Incremental costs refer to costs that would not have been incurred if the contract hadnot been obtained, such as sales commissions. For amortization periods not exceeding one year, they arerecorded in the profit or loss for the current period when incurred.

3. Amortization of Contract Costs

Assets related to contract costs mentioned above are amortized based on the same basis as the revenuerecognition for goods or services related to the assets, either at the time of performance obligation fulfillmentor based on the progress of performance obligation fulfillment, and recorded in the profit or loss for the currentperiod.

4. Impairment of Contract Costs

If the book value of the aforementioned assets related to contract costs exceeds the difference betweenthe residual consideration expected to be obtained by the Company from the transfer of goods related to theseassets and the estimated costs to be incurred for the transfer, the excess should be set aside impairmentprovision and recognized as an impairment loss.

After the impairment provision, if there are changes in impairment factors in previous periods, resultingin the above difference exceeding the book value of the assets, the provision for impairment loss previouslyaccrued shall be reversed, and recorded in the profit or loss for the current period. However, the book value ofthe assets after reversal should not exceed that on the reversal date under the assumption of no accrual ofimpairment provision.

36. Government Grants

?Applicable □ Not Applicable

1.TypesGovernment grants refer to monetary assets and non-monetary assets obtained by the Company from thegovernment without charge. According to the beneficiaries stipulated in relevant government documents,government grants are classified into asset-related government grants and revenue-related government grants.Asset-related government grants are those obtained by the Company for the acquisition, construction, orformation of long-term assets by other means. Revenue-related government grants refer to government grantsother than asset-related government grants.

2.Recognition of Government Grants

Government grants are recognized at the amount receivable if there is evidence at the end of the periodthat the Company can meet the relevant conditions stipulated in the financial support policy and is expected toreceive financial support funds. Otherwise, government grants are recognized when actually received.

Government grants in the form of monetary assets are measured at the amount received or receivable.Government grants in the form of non-monetary assets are measured at fair value; if fair value cannot bereliably obtained, they are measured at the nominal amount (RMB 1 yuan). Government grants measured atnominal amounts are directly recorded in the profit or loss for the current period.

3.Accounting Treatment Method

The Company determines whether a certain type of government grant matter should be accounted forusing the gross method or the net method based on the substance of the economic matter. Typically, the

Company selects only one method for same or similar government grant matters and consistently applies thatmethod to the matter.

ItemsAccounting Content
Category of Government Grants Accounted for Using the Gross MethodGovernment grants related to anything other than loans of discount interest
Category of Government Grants Accounted for Using the Net MethodGovernment grants related to loans of policy-oriented preferential interest rate

Asset-related government grants should either be offset against the book value of related assets or berecognized as deferred revenues. Asset-related government grants recognized as deferred revenues should bereasonably and systematically recorded in profit or loss over the useful life of the constructed or purchasedassets.

Revenue-related government grants used to compensate for expenses or losses in future periods arerecognized as deferred revenues and are recorded in profit or loss for the current period or offset against relatedcosts when the related expenses or losses are recognized. Grants used to compensate for expenses or lossesalready incurred by the Company are recorded directly in profit or loss for the current period or offset againstrelated costs upon receipt.

Government grants related to the Company's ordinary activities are recorded in other income or offsetagainst related costs. Government grants unrelated to the Company's ordinary activities are recorded in non-operating income and expenses.

Government grants received related to loans of policy-oriented preferential interest are offset againstrelated borrowing costs. If loans of policy-oriented preferential interest rates provided by banks are obtained,the actual amount received is treated as the entry value of the loans, and the related borrowing costs arecalculated based on the loan principal and the preferential interest rate.

When government grants already recognized need to be refunded, adjustments are made to the book valueof related assets if they are offset against the book value of the assets; the book balance of related deferredrevenues is offset if there are balances in the related deferred revenues and the surplus is recorded in the profitor loss for the current period; and the surplus is recorded directly in profit or loss for the current period if thereare no balances in the related deferred revenues.

37. Deferred Income Tax Assets / Deferred Income Tax Liabilities

?Applicable □ Not Applicable

Deferred income tax assets and deferred income tax liabilities are calculated and recognized based on thedifference between the tax basis and book value of assets and liabilities (temporary differences). As of thebalance sheet date, deferred income tax assets and deferred income tax liabilities are measured using the taxrates applicable during the period when the assets are expected to be recovered or settled.

1.Recognition Basis for Deferred Income Tax Assets

The Company recognizes deferred income tax assets generated from deductible temporary differences, tothe extent that it is probable to utilize them against taxable income that can be offset by deductible temporarydifferences and can carry forward deductible losses and taxes in the subsequent years. However, deferred

income tax assets arising from the initial recognition of assets or liabilities in transactions and exhibiting thefollowing characteristics are not recognized: (1) the transaction does not qualify as an enterprise merger; (2)the transaction neither affects accounting profit nor taxable profit or deductible losses when it occurs.For deductible temporary differences related to investments in associates, deferred income tax assets arerecognized if the following conditions are met simultaneously: the temporary differences are likely to reversein the foreseeable future, and taxable profit are likely available in the future to offset deductible temporarydifferences.2.Recognition Basis for Deferred Income Tax LiabilitiesThe Company recognizes the taxable temporary differences that are due but unpaid in the current andprevious periods as deferred income tax liabilities, except to the extent that:

(1) The temporary difference arises from the initial recognition of goodwill;

(2) The temporary difference arises from transactions or matters that didn’t arise from enterprise mergerand neither affected the accounting profits nor taxable profit (or deductible losses);

(3) For taxable temporary differences related to investments in subsidiaries or associates, the reversal ofthe temporary differences can be controlled and it is probable that the temporary differences will not reversein the foreseeable future.

3.When the following conditions are met simultaneously, deferred income tax assets and deferredincome tax liabilities are presented as the net amount after offset

(1) The Company has the legal right to settle current income tax assets and liabilities on a net basis;

(2) Deferred income tax assets and deferred income tax liabilities relate either to income taxes levied by thesame tax authority on the same taxable entity or to different taxable entities. However, for each significantperiod in which deferred income tax assets and deferred income tax liabilities are reversed in the future, theintention of the entity involved is to settle the current income tax assets and liabilities on a net basis or tosimultaneously obtain assets and settle liabilities.38 Leasing

?Applicable □ Not ApplicableJudgement Basis and Accounting Treatment Method for Simplified Disposal of Short-term Leases andLeases of Low-value Assets as Lessee?Applicable □ Not Applicable

At the commencement of the lease term, the Company recognizes right-of-use assets and lease liabilitiesfor leases other than short-term leases and leases of low-value assets subject to simplified disposal.

(1) Short-term Leases and Leases of Low-value Assets

Short-term leases refer to leases that do not include a purchase option with a lease term of no more than12 months. Leases of low-value assets refer to leases where the individual leased asset, when brand new, hasa relatively low value, primarily including leases of temporary vehicles, office equipment, etc.

The Company does not recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for the following short-termleases and leases of low-value assets. The related lease payments are recorded in related asset costs or currentprofit or loss in each period of the lease term on a straight-line basis or using other systematic and reasonablemethods.

ItemsCategory of Leased Assets Subject to Simplified Disposal
Short-term LeasesLease term is less than or equal to 1 year
Leases of Low-value AssetsLeases of office equipment with low unit value, etc.

The Company recognizes right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for short-term leases and leases of low-value assets other than those mentioned above.

(2) Right-of-Use Assets

The Company initially measures right-of-use assets at cost, which includes:

1. Initially measured amount of lease liabilities;

2. Lease payments made on the commencement date of the lease term or before, deducting any relevantamount of lease incentives already received when there are lease incentives;

3. Initial direct costs incurred by the Company;

4. Estimated costs expected to be incurred by the Company for dismantling and removing leased assets,restoring the leased asset site, or restoring leased assets to the conditions specified in the lease agreement(excluding costs incurred for producing inventory).

After the commencement date of the lease term, the Company uses the cost model to measure right-of-use assets subsequently.

If it is reasonably certain that the Company will obtain ownership of the leased asset at the end of thelease term, the Company will depreciate the leased asset over its remaining useful life. If it is not reasonablycertain that the Company will obtain ownership of the leased asset at the end of the lease term, the Companywill depreciate the leased asset over the lease term or the remaining useful life of the leased asset, whicheveris shorter. For right-of-use assets with provision for impairment, the Company will depreciate them in futureperiods based on the book value after deducting the impairment provision, following the above principles.

(3) Lease Liabilities

The Company initially measures lease liabilities at the present value of lease payments not yet paid as ofthe lease commencement date. When calculating the present value of lease payments, the Company uses theinterest rate implicit in the lease as the discount rate; if the interest rate implicit in the lease cannot bedetermined, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate. Lease payments include:

(1) Fixed payments and substantially fixed payments after deducting related amount of the leaseincentives;

(2) Variable lease payments dependent on an index or rate;

(3) In cases where the Company reasonably determines the exercise of the purchase option, leasepayments include the exercise price of such option;

(4) If it is evident that the Company will exercise the option to terminate the lease during the lease term,the lease payments include the amount required for exercising the said termination option;

(5) Amounts expected to be paid for guaranteed residual value provided by the Company.

The Company calculates the interest expense of lease liabilities for each period of the lease term using afixed discount rate and recognizes it in the profit or loss or related asset cost for the current period.

Variable lease payments not included in the measurement of lease liabilities are recorded in profit or lossor related asset cost for the period when they occur.

Classification Criteria and Accounting Treatment Method for Leases as Lessor?Applicable □ Not Applicable

(1) Classification of Leases

The Company classifies leases into financing leases and operating leases on the commencement date ofthe lease. Financing leases refer to leases that substantially transfer all risks and rewards related to ownershipof the leased asset to the lessee, with or without ultimate transfer of the ownership. Operating leases are leasesother than financing leases.

The Company generally classifies a lease as a financing lease if it meets one or more of the followingconditions:

(1) At the end of the lease term, ownership of the leased asset is transferred to the lessee.

(2) The lessee has the option to purchase the leased asset, and the purchase price agreed upon issufficiently lower than the fair value of the leased asset at the time the option is expected to be exercised, sothat it can be reasonably determined that the lessee will exercise the option on the commencement date of thelease.

(3) Although ownership of the asset is not transferred, the lease term represents a substantial portion ofthe useful life of the asset.

(4) On the commencement date of the lease, the present value of lease receipts is substantially equal tothe fair value of the leased asset.

(5) The leased asset is of such a specialized nature that only the lessee can use it without majormodifications.

The Company may also be classifies a lease as a financing lease if it aligns with one or more of thefollowing indicators:

(1) If the lessee terminates the lease, any loss incurred by the lessor due to the termination is borne by thelessee.

(2) Gains or losses resulting from fluctuations in the fair value of the residual value of the asset attributeto the lessee.

(3) The lessee is able to extend the lease for the next term at a rent significantly below the market standard.

(2) Accounting Treatment of Financing Leases

On the commencement date of the lease term, the Company recognizes amounts receivable from financingleases and derecognizes the finance lease assets.

At the initial measurement of amounts receivable from financing leases, the sum of the unguaranteedresidual value and the present value of lease receipts not yet received as of the commencement date of the leaseterm discounted at the interest rate implicit in lease is treated as the entry value of the accounts receivable fromthe financing leases. Lease receipts include:

(1) Fixed payments and substantial fixed payments after deducting the related amount of lease incentives;

(2) Variable lease payments dependent on an index or rate.

(3) In cases where it is reasonably certain that the lessee will exercise a purchase option, lease receiptsinclude the exercise price of the purchase option;

(4) If it is evident that the lessee will exercise the option to terminate the lease, lease receipts includeamounts payable by the lessee upon exercise of the termination option.

(5) Guaranteed residual value provided by the lessee, the party related to the lessee, and independent thirdparties with the economic capability to fulfill guarantee obligations to the lessor.

The Company calculates and recognizes interest income for each period of the lease term using a fixedlease rate implicit in lease. Variable lease payments not included in the net investment in the lease are recordedin profit or loss for the period when incurred.

(3) Accounting Treatment of Operating Leases

For each period of the lease term, the Company recognizes lease receipt from operating leases using thestraight-line method or other systematical and rational methods as rental income. Initial direct costs incurredrelated to operating leases are capitalized and amortized over the lease term on the same basis as the recognitionof rental income and are recorded in the profit or loss for each period. Variable lease payments related tooperating leases but not included in lease receipts are recorded in profit or loss for the period when incurred.

39. Other Significant Accounting Policies and Estimates

?Applicable □ Not Applicable

(1) Repurchase of the Company’s Shares

The consideration and transaction costs paid in the repurchase of the Company’s shares reduce shareholders'equity. Gains or losses are not recognized during repurchase, transfer, or cancellation of the Company’s shares.When transferring treasury shares, the Company records them in the capital reserve based on the differencebetween the amount actually received and the book value of the treasury shares. If the capital reserve isinsufficient to offset, they are offset by the surplus reserve and undistributed profits. When canceling treasuryshares, the Company reduces share capital based on the book value of shares and quantity of canceled sharesand offsets the difference between the book balance and book value of the canceled treasury shares using thecapital reserve. If the capital reserve is insufficient to offset, they are offset by the surplus reserve andundistributed profits.

(2) Work Safety Fees

Work safety fees withdrawn by the Company as specified by the state are recorded in the costs of the relevantproducts or in profit or loss for the current period and simultaneously recorded in the account of "specialreserves". When the withdrawn work safety fees are utilized as expenses, they are directly offset against specialreserves. In cases where the work safety fees form fixed assets, the expenditures arising from the aggregationof the account of "construction in progress" are recognized as fixed assets when the safety project is completedand reaches the intended usable state. Simultaneously, the cost of forming fixed assets is offset against specialreserves, and the same amount of accumulated depreciation is recognized. Depreciation is no longer providedfor these fixed assets in subsequent periods.

The Company has formulated risk management policiesto identify and analyze the risks faced by it. These risk management policies provide specific provisionsfor specific risks, covering various aspects such as market risk, credit risk, and liquidity risk management.The Company regularly evaluates the market environment and changes in its operations to determinewhether to update risk management policies and systems.

(1) Credit Risk

Credit risk refers to the risk of financial loss incurred by the Company due to the counterparty's failure

to fulfill its obligations under the contract. The management has formulated appropriate credit policiesand maintains ongoing oversight of credit risk exposure.The Company has adopted a policy to conduct transactions solely with counterparties with goodcredit standing. In addition, the Company evaluates the credit qualifications of customers based on factorssuch as their financial position, the likelihood of obtaining guarantees from third parties, credit records,and other factors such as current market conditions. The Company continuously monitors the balance ofnotes receivable, accounts receivable, and recovery situations. For customers with poor credit records, theCompany adopts measures such as written payment reminders, shortening credit periods, or cancelingcredit periods to ensure that it won’t face significant credit losses. Furthermore, the Company reviews therecovery situation of financial assets on each balance sheet date to ensure that sufficient expected creditloss reserves are provided for relevant financial assets.

Other financial assets held by the Company include monetary funds, other receivables, debtinvestments, etc., and the credit risk of these financial assets stems from defaults by counterparties, withthe maximum credit risk exposure being the book value of each financial asset in the balance sheet.

The monetary funds held by the Company are mainly deposited with financial institutions such asstate-owned holding banks and other large and medium-sized commercial banks. The managementbelieves that these commercial banks exhibit high credibility and asset conditions, and there is nosignificant credit risk that may lead to any significant losses due to default by counterparties. TheCompany’s policy is to control the amount of deposits in various well-known financial institutions basedon the market reputation, operating scale, and financial background of these institutions to limit the amountof credit risk exposure to any single financial institution.

As part of the Company's credit risk asset management, the Company uses aging to assess impairmentlosses on accounts receivable and other receivables. The Company’s accounts receivable and otherreceivables involve a significant number of customers and the aging information can reflect the paymentability and bad debt risk of these customers with respect to accounts receivable and other receivables. TheCompany calculates historical actual bad debt rates for different aging periods based on historical data andmakes adjustments to obtain the expected loss rate, taking into account the forecasts of current and futureeconomic conditions, such as national GDP growth rate, total investment in infrastructure, nationalmonetary policy, and other forward-looking information. For long-term receivables, the Companycomprehensively considers settlement periods, payment periods agreed in the contract, the financialposition of debtors, and the economic situation of the industry in which the debtors are located, and makesadjusts to reasonably assess the expected credit losses based on the above forward-looking information.

The Company determines the relativeproportions of fixed-rate and floating-rate contracts based on the prevailing market conditions at the time.

The Company’s Financial Management Department continuously monitors the Company’s interestrate levels. A rise in interest rates would increase the cost of newly added interest-bearing debts andinterest expenditures on outstanding interest-bearing debts with floating rates, and pose significant adverseeffects on the Company's financial performance. The management will make timely adjustments based onthe latest market conditions and these adjustments may include interest rate swap arrangements to mitigateinterest rate risk.

(1) The Company’s interest rate swap arrangements for this year are as follows:

The Company had no interest rate swap arrangements for this year.

(2) As of December 31, 2023, the Company's long-term interest-bearing debts were mainly floating-rate contracts denominated in Renminbi, with a total amount of RMB 19,999,630,217.77 yuan, as detailedin (45) in Section VII.

3. Price Risk

Whether the technical information actuallyused by Xinjiang Meihua in current operations is identical to the commercial secrets of xanthan gumproduction in the case and whether it needs to cease usage should be determined by the people's court ina separate case according to law. After comprehensive evaluation based on professional opinions, theCompany believes that the judgment is unlikely to have a substantial impact on its production andoperations.

Both the Company and Xinjiang Meihua insist that there has been no infringement of commercialsecrets in Xinjiang Meihua's xanthan gum production and sales processes. The Company will file for aretrial regarding the effective judgement of the second instance according to law. If the judgment isrevoked through the trial supervision procedure, the Company reserves the right to request the executionof reversal.2.Contingencies Arising from the Provision of Debt Guarantees to External Parties and TheirFinancial ImpactRefer to 5(4) - Status of Related Guarantees in Section XIV for details of guarantees provided torelated parties.

(3) If the company does not have reporting segments, or cannot disclose the total assets and liabilitiesof each reporting segment, the reasons should be explained.

?Applicable □ Not Applicable

The Company determines operating segments based on internal organizational structure,management requirements, and internal reporting systems. The operating segments of the Company referto components that meet the following conditions:

(1) The component generates revenue and incurs expenses in its daily activities;

(2) The management can evaluate the operating results of the component on a regular basis to decidethe resource allocation for it and assess its performance;

(3) Relevant accounting information such as financial status, operating results, and cash flows of thecomponent can be obtained.

The Company determines reporting segments based on operating segments, and an operating segmentis determined as a reporting segment if it meets one of the following conditions:

(1) The operating segment's revenue accounts for 10% or more of the total revenue of all segments;

(2) The absolute amount of segment profit (or loss) for the segment accounts for 10% or more ofeither the total profit of profitable segments or the total loss of loss-making segments, whichever is greater.

The Company has not disclosed segment reports mainly because: the Company's sales revenue andgross profit are disclosed based on the segment basis of daily operating management. Additionally, itemssuch as management expenses, financial expenses and taxes on the income statement and assets andliabilities cannot be split and disclosed according to segment requirements.

(1) Tongliao Meihua and Xinjiang Meihua, subsidiaries of the Company, produce multiple productsacross several segments. Therefore, management expenses, financial expenses, income tax, and otheritems on the income statement, including corresponding items of the Company, cannot be attributed tospecific products;

(2) The Company is a capital-intensive manufacturing enterprise. Although it produces variousproducts, the manufacturing processes are similar, with many fixed assets being shared. Some productionlines also produce multiple kinds of products throughout the year. Hence, the fixed assets used forproduction cannot be distinguished by segments.

(3) Apart from production lines, the Company has numerous shared facilities such as heating stations,sewage treatment, and basic chemical production lines. The products and services provided by thesefacilities are shared among multiple segments, making it impossible to distinguish them by segments.

(4) The Company's debt financing cannot be specifically allocated to specific business segments.

Therefore, segment information is not presented in this financial statement.
