Part III Management Discussion and Analysis

I. Industry Performance During Reporting Period

1. Industry overview

Infore Enviro (Stock code: 000967) is a technology-based enterprise in the field of urban cleaning services in China. The Company's main business is urban cleaning services. Relying on "intelligent equipment, Smart Sanitation Cloud Platform, and smart services", it creates a new urban service model that combines ecology and technology, and builds a full-chain service system of "frontend intelligent operation, middle-end intelligent dispatching, and back-end lean management" in the industry, empowering the intelligent and refined operation of urban cleaning services all day long, in all aspects, and throughout the whole process.

Urban cleaning services are an important part of the modern environmental management and operation system, covering multiple fields such as road cleaning and maintenance, snow and ice removal, waste collection and transportation, waste sorting, municipal infrastructure maintenance, urban landscaping, water area cleaning and marine sanitation. The Company adopts diversified business models, commonly including "government procurement", "franchising", and "equity cooperation". By providing a full-cycle solution including planning, investment, construction and operation, it comprehensively maintains a clean, sanitary, and beautiful urban environment and creates a healthy and comfortable living and working space for residents, effectively supporting the improvement and sustainable development of the human settlement environment.

2. Industry development

2024 marked a crucial year for fully implementing the guiding principles of the 20th CPC National Congress and for carrying out the "14th Five-Year Plan". The urban service market has maintained robust growth thanks to the sanitation marketization reform and the "urban steward" model. Although the environmental protection equipment market has maintained a relatively high total demand in the long term driven by policies, affected by the approval of special treasury bond projects and the disbursement of funds concentrated in the fourth quarter, equipment procurement will be postponed to 2025. Coupled with factors such as the weakening of local fiscal payment capabilities and the reduction of customers' budgets, the industry continues the downward trend of the previous year. It is worth noting that new energy-powered environmental protection equipment has achieved a rapid growth of 45% against the trend, becoming a prominent highlight in the market.

The growth in both the annual value and the total value of urban service contracts in China over the past nine years:

Infore Environment Technology Group Co., Ltd. 2024 Annual Report

==> picture [232 x 168] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [242 x 167] intentionally omitted <==

Urban service is an essential item of government spending, as it is closely related to people's livelihoods. The sector's long-term growth has little to do with short-term fluctuations in the macro economy, and it is tied to long-term economic trends, policy directives, environmental requirements, and people's living standards, without notable seasonal and regional features.

Looking ahead to 2025, policy drivers and industry cycles are expected to align closely. The urban services market is likely to maintain steady growth, supported by the ongoing deepening of the sanitation marketization reform and the "urban steward" model. In addition, the environmental protection equipment market is poised for growth, supported by multiple drivers. From the perspective of policy support, the report on the work of the government for 2025 proposed to raise the deficit ratio to 4%, issue over RMB 300 billion of ultra-long-term special treasury bonds and RMB 500 billion of local government special bonds. In addition, the RMB 12 trillion "debt resolution" plan in 2024 is expected to improve local financial resources, providing financial guarantees for the procurement of environmental protection equipment. From the perspective of the industry cycle, the expansion of the large-scale equipment renewal policy, coupled with the delayed implementation of the funded projects issued in 2024 and the natural renewal demand of environmental protection equipment, will boost the industry back onto the growth track. It is worth noting that as the penetration rate of new energypowered environmental protection equipment breaks through the critical point of 10% where demand explodes, with the support of policies such as the expansion of the pilot program for full electrification of public service vehicles, the demand for new energy equipment will enter a period of rapid growth.

  1. Development trends

  2. (1) Urban services: Deepening of the intelligent transformation

The urban service scenarios continue to expand. Relying on technologies such as the Internet of Things, big data, and AI, it realizes the upgrade from single sanitation management to comprehensive urban operation, promoting a systematic innovation in the service mode and management efficiency. With the acceleration of the urbanization process, the traditional sanitation management mode has been difficult to meet the transformation demand from the "sanitation integration" to the "urban steward" model, and the intelligent urban service system has emerged as the times require. Based on the Internet of Things and mobile Internet, this system conducts fullprocess and dynamic monitoring of all sanitation management elements such as personnel, vehicles, objects, and tasks. By optimizing the management mode, it improves the operation quality, reduces the operation cost, and builds a digital management evaluation system. Its service architecture adopts a cloud-based deployment model, deeply integrating with the smart city management network, and using the cloud service platform as the carrier to deliver service capabilities to both the management and operation ends. With technological iteration and the extension of application scenarios, the smart urban services will become a key support for promoting the green, lowcarbon and sustainable development of cities.

Infore Environment Technology Group Co., Ltd. 2024 Annual Report

==> picture [455 x 181] intentionally omitted <==

(2) Environmental protection equipment: Accelerated integration of new energy and intelligence

The environmental protection equipment sector is rapidly shifting towards greener and more efficient solutions, with new energy technologies like electrification and hydrogen energy gaining significant traction. These innovations are being further enhanced by innovative technologies such as intelligent sensing and autonomous operations. Against the backdrop of China's "dual carbon" strategy, which is deeply embedded in the broader vision of ecological civilization, policies promoting new urbanization and the pilot program for full electrification of public service vehicles are working in tandem to accelerate the transition to new energy solutions in environmental protection equipment. By 2024, the sector's penetration of new energy technologies has reached 14.9%, and the lifecycle cost advantages driven by economies of scale are further accelerating the substitution process. The synergy between policy guidance and market forces is driving this transformation.

In response to structural labor shortages and rising costs in traditional environmental protection sectors, smart equipment has emerged as a crucial solution. Guided by national strategies such as "vehicle-road-cloud integration" and "artificial intelligence+", the development of smart city infrastructure and the deployment of intelligent connected vehicles are becoming increasingly integrated. This creates large-scale opportunities for the application of intelligent environmental protection equipment and other equipment. A shift toward more automated, labor-light operations driven by technological iteration is reshaping the industry.

On April 26, 2024, the_Proposal on the Delay of Part of the Projects of Proceeds from the_
_Public Issuance of A-share Convertible Corporate Bonds_was deliberated and approved at the
sixth meeting of the Tenth Board of Directors and the sixth meeting of the Tenth Board of
Supervisors. The Company agreed to adjust the investment progress by changing the date for the
intended use of the above projects to December 31, 2026. The adjustment was made because the
investment progress of the project of the comprehensive smart sanitation allocation center was
mainly based on the current business size of the Company's sanitation service projects. The
project's investment progress fell short of expectations due to the impact of the overall decline in
demand for sanitation equipment and the designation of or restrictions on sanitation equipment
suppliers for some projects on the number of orders. Therefore, the Company adjusted the
project's investmentprogress to ensure thequalityand full use ofproceeds.

XI. Future Prospects of the Company

  • (I) Market opportunities

1. The 2024 national policies are favorable for the development of the sanitation industry

On January 11, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the State Council issued the Opinions on Comprehensively Advancing the Beautiful China Initiative, promoting the experience of Zhejiang Province's "Ten Million Project", adapting it to local conditions, and calling for a coordinated effort to advance rural ecological revitalization and improve rural living environments. It emphasizes improving waste classification management and aims to achieve full coverage of waste sorting in residential communities in cities at the prefecture level and above.

On February 3, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the State Council issued the Opinions on Drawing on and Applying the Experience from the Green Rural Revival Program in Zhejiang Province to Effectively Promote All-around Rural Revitalization , requiring improvements and upgrading in rural living environments, the enhancing of the rural domestic waste sorting, collection, transportation and disposal system, which directly benefits equipment used for waste collection, transportation, and transfer.

On March 7, the State Council issued the Notice on Printing and Distributing the Action Plan for Promoting Large-Scale Equipment Renewal and Trade-in of Consumer Goods , requiring the acceleration of equipment renewals in the fields of construction and municipal infrastructure. In addition, centering on advancing new urbanization, combined with the promotion of urban renewal and the renovation of old residential areas, it is required to categorize updates and renovations in areas such as residential elevators, water, heat and gas supply, sewage treatment, sanitation, urban lifeline projects, and security. From an operational standpoint, due to the delayed implementation of policies, many equipment renewal projects in 2024 are expected to be fully implemented in 2025.

On April 1, the General Office of the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development issued the Notice on Effective Urban Drainage and Waterlogging Prevention in 2024 , focusing on promoting the construction of drainage pipe networks, pumping stations, storage and regulation facilities, drainage channels and key protection facilities, and accelerating the development of an urban drainage and waterlogging prevention engineering system featuring "source reduction, pipe-network discharge, a combination of storage and discharge, and emergency response to over-standard situations". It is necessary to make good use of the national debt funds to speed up the project construction progress and give full play to the benefits as soon as possible.

On April 8, the National Development and Reform Commission issued the Notice on Printing and Distributing the Measures for the Management of Central Budget Investment on Special Projects in Pollution Control , which will focus on supporting the construction of urban and rural environmental infrastructure, the clean production transformation of key industries, the environmental governance of key areas, the water-pollution control and water-saving, etc. The construction of urban environmental infrastructure includes projects such as the sorting of urban domestic waste, the establishment of collection, transportation and transfer systems, the construction and upgrading of domestic waste incineration treatment facilities, the resource utilization of kitchen waste, and the construction of centralized hazardous waste disposal facilities.

On May 7, in accordance with the Provisions on Central Ecological and Environmental Protection Inspections , with the approval of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the State Council, the third-round and second-batch of central ecological and environmental protection inspections were fully launched. Seven central ecological and environmental protection inspection teams (hereinafter referred to as the inspection teams) were established to conduct approximately one-month inspections in seven provinces (municipalities), namely Shanghai, Zhejiang, Jiangxi, Hubei, Hunan, Chongqing, and Yunnan, and conduct overall river basin and provincial-level inspections.

39

Infore Environment Technology Group Co., Ltd. 2024 Annual Report

On July 24, the National Development and Reform Commission and the Ministry of Finance issued the Notice on Several Measures to Strengthen Support for Large-Scale Equipment Renewals and Trade-in of Consumer Goods , making overall arrangements for approximately RMB 300 billion of ultra-long-term special treasury bond funds to strengthen support for large-scale equipment renewals and trade-in of consumer goods.

On August 5, the People's Bank of China, the National Financial Regulatory Administration, and the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs issued the Notice on Carrying out the Special Action for Drawing on and Applying the Experience from the "Ten Million Project" to Strengthen Financial Support for the All-Round Rural Revitalization , emphasizing the need to increase financial support for improvements in rural living environments and ecological conservation. It also encourages active engagement with actions for improvements in rural living environments and a timely response to credit demands. Key areas of focus include the treatment of rural toilet waste, domestic sewage and garbage, and improvements in village appearance. Loan products should be developed specifically for improvements in rural living environments.

On October 30, the Ministry of Finance issued the Notice on the Advance Allocation of the 2025 Energy Conservation and Emission Reduction Subsidy Budget , specifying that 20 cities including Tangshan, Shanghai, and Zhengzhou will receive the incentive funds for the demonstration and application of fuel cell vehicles in 2025. Among them, there are 5 cities with incentive funds exceeding RMB 100 million, and the total amount of all cities is approximately RMB 1.62 billion.

On October 31, the Ministry of Finance issued the Notice on the Advance Allocation of the 2025 Air Pollution Prevention and Control Fund Budget , specifying that RMB 20.4 billion of the 2025 air pollution prevention and control funds will be allocated to support relevant work in pollution reduction and carbon reduction.

On November 8, the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress reviewed and approved an increase in the local government debt ceilings by RMB 6 trillion, to be distributed over three years, with RMB 2 trillion each year from 2024 to 2026, to support local governments in replacing existing hidden debts. In addition to the previous RMB 4 trillion for debt resolution planned for 2024-2028 (RMB 800 billion per year), and the RMB 2 trillion of hidden debt for shantytown renovation due by 2029 and beyond, the total amount for debt resolution will reach RMB 12 trillion. The introduction of these policies will, to a large extent, alleviate the financial pressure on local governments and increase local purchasing power.

On December 5, the General Office of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the General Office of the State Council issued the Opinions on Advancing New Urban Infrastructure and Building Resilient Cities, promoting the coordinated development of smart city infrastructure and intelligent connected vehicles. It encourages the further development of "5G + Internet of Vehicles", steadily advancing the application of driver assistance and autonomous driving technologies, and accelerating the installation of intelligent perception systems on urban road infrastructure to enhance vehicle-road collaboration. The policy also aims to expand the application of intelligent connected vehicles in multiple scenarios to meet the growing demand for smart transportation.

2. The demand for urban services and environmental protection equipment will keep increasing

The source of urban services revenue is the government budget with the nature of rigid expenditure and is less affected by macroeconomic regulation factors. The business is characterized by continuity and stability. Environmental protection equipment is a rigid demand within the environmental sanitation industry, and with favorable industry policies and proactive fiscal measures, market demand is expected to return to a growth trajectory.

  • (1) Clear direction of urbanization and significant increase in service demand

As urbanization continues, the construction of urban roads will directly increase the area for road cleaning, urban housing, compound construction, and urban greening, hence increasing the demand for environmental protection equipment and urban cleaning services. Furthermore, sanitation is one of the prerequisites for each province, city, and district to construct urban upgrades such as "national civilized cities", "national hygienic cities", "national model cities of environmental protection", and "national ecological garden cities". From 2017 to 2023, the area of road cleaning in China's cities and counties increased from 10.896 billion square meters to 14.514 billion square meters, an overall increase of nearly 33.2%; the domestic waste removed and transported in cities and counties

40

Infore Environment Technology Group Co., Ltd. 2024 Annual Report

rose from 282 million tons to 322 million tons, an overall growth of 14.2%, according to the statistics from the National Bureau of Statistics and the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development. Driven by urbanization, the release of urban service demand is constantly facilitated in order to maintain the cleanliness and sanitation of urban roads, residential compounds, and municipal gardens, as well as the normal transfer and treatment of domestic waste.

(2) The "Beautiful Countryside" kick-started, and the rural sanitation market is gradually gaining momentum

The Opinions on Drawing on and Applying the Experience from the Green Rural Revival Program in Zhejiang Province to Effectively Promote All-around Rural Revitalization (2024 No. 1 Document of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China) outlines efforts to improve rural living environments in a step-by-step, iterative approach. After 20 years of continuous efforts, thousands of beautiful rural villages have been created. The document emphasizes the need to “deeply implement actions for improvements in rural living environment”, “advance rural infrastructure to strengthen areas of weakness”, and “strengthen rural ecological protection”. The rural sanitation market will enter a new stage for further rapid market expansion. This will create vast opportunities for urban services and the entire sanitation industry.

(3) Implementation of the policies of the new energy vehicle industry and increasing demand for new energy-powered environmental protection equipment

In 2024, the number of cities with demand for new energy sanitation vehicles reached 175, an increase of 41 cities compared with 2023. The number of cities with a market demand of 10 vehicles or more was 80, an expansion of 13 cities compared with 2023. Since 2012, China has made a guiding policy to accelerate the cultivation of the new energy vehicle industry, and has successively released important documents for its promotion. In 2024, the penetration rate of new energy-powered environmental protection equipment exceeded 14%. After a period of development, new energy-powered sanitation vehicles are poised for significant growth. It is expected that the penetration rate of new energy-powered environmental protection equipment will quickly reach about 50%.

(4) The increasing mechanization of urban construction will drive the continuous growth in the environmental protection equipment market

According to the 2023 Urban and Rural Construction Statistical Yearbook , at the end of 2023, the mechanical cleaning space of roads in cities across the country reached 11.27 billion square meters, with a mechanization rate of 81.8%; the mechanical cleaning space of roads in counties across the country reached 3.25 billion square meters, with a mechanization rate of 79.6%. This indicates that there is still room for development in terms of the mechanization level of sanitation industry in China. In the future, as labor costs continue to rise, the mechanized sanitation operations will become the main development direction of the domestic sanitation market, and it will cover road cleaning, guardrail cleaning, waste collection & transportation, and other segments.

(5) The aggravation of aging population will make the expansion of the environmental protection equipment market an inevitable trend

The frequent adjustments made by China in terms of minimum wages in different cities have largely influenced the operating costs of urban service enterprises. The defects including high operating costs and low working efficiency in the traditional manual urban service model have increased the business pressure on sanitation operation enterprises. In addition, by the end of 2024, the elderly population in China had reached 310 million, accounting for 22% of the total population, according to the data of the National Bureau of Statistics. The aging trend will increase the pressure of labor shortage in the urban service field. Meanwhile, with the diversification of job options, the number of young and middle-aged laborers who are willing to engage in sanitation work is also decreasing. Therefore, improving the mechanization rate of the sanitation industry and expanding the use of environmental protection equipment is not only a realistic need in the face of the labor market shortage, but also the requirement for the development of urban sanitation level.

(6) Implementation of large-scale equipment renewal policy, driving release of the demand for environmental protection equipment

41

Infore Environment Technology Group Co., Ltd. 2024 Annual Report

In 2024, the funds for large-scale equipment renewal projects were mainly allocated in the fourth quarter. A small number of projects in the year began to be implemented, and most of the projects are expected to see physical workloads in the first half of 2025. At the same time, in January 2025, the National Development and Reform Commission clearly stated that the funds for large-scale equipment renewal in 2025 will significantly increase compared to 2024. With the growth in policy funding and the implementation of projects approved in 2024, the sanitation industry is expected to see substantial growth in 2025.

(7) New industry transformation fueled by technological upgrade and innovation

With the rapid development of autonomous driving and artificial intelligence technologies, the traditional sanitation cleaning sector is facing an unprecedented wave of technological innovation, and autonomous sweepers are gradually becoming a new force in urban cleaning. Small-sized smart devices and smart services will be the new bonanza, introducing new variables and increments for the sector. Smart, less humanized, or even unmanned sanitation will be a general trend. On the policy front, both national and local governments are actively supporting the renewal and purchase of unmanned environmental protection equipment and industry development, accelerating the implementation and application of pilot projects.. For instance, Shenzhen and Guangzhou have already launched benchmark pilot projects for unmanned cleaning vehicles. In the future, with the deepening of technological integration, the acceleration of the green transformation, and the improvement of standards, the unmanned sanitation industry is expected to usher in a new era of more efficient, intelligent, and sustainable development.

(II) Business plan for 2025

In 2024, the Company closely revolved around its established strategy and annual business plan, focusing on its core business areas. By consolidating the development foundation through measures such as divesting non-core assets and strengthening internal management, it fully promoted the intelligent urban service business. The Company's business targets set at the beginning of the year were RMB 100 billion in the cumulative contract amount of smart urban services and over RMB 10 billion in annual revenue. The actual cumulative contract amount of smart urban services reached RMB 61.285 billion, while annual revenue posted RMB 6.441 billion. The revenue target achievement rate was 64.41%, and the total contract amount target achievement rate was 61.29%. The failure to meet the expectations was mainly affected by the industry trend. The number of orders with long cycles of more than 5 years in the market has significantly decreased, resulting in a decline in the total amount of orders obtained by the Company.

In 2025, the Company will accurately grasp the market trends, diversify its operations and actively attract short- and mediumcycle projects to optimize its order structure. The smart services will focus on "urban, mechanized, and intelligent" development, further strengthening the core market presence. Leveraging the digital upgrade of the cost management system of the Smart Sanitation Cloud Platform, the Company aims to enhance service efficiency and improve management capabilities. In the intelligent equipment segment, the strategy will emphasize "new energy leadership, international expansion, and growth through flagship products". The Company plans to allocate more resources to overseas markets, bolster core technology research and development, and accelerate the establishment of global competitive advantages.

At the business level, in overseas markets, the Company will improve its marketing network through significant resource investment and enhance product competitiveness with localized service capabilities. In the aerial work sector, it will continuously optimize the product line and expand diverse application scenarios to achieve deep market penetration. The small equipment business will focus on scenario-based solutions and promote the iteration and upgrading of the product system. The new energy business will add integrated solutions for photovoltaics, energy storage and charging, innovate business models and marketing strategies, and promote the rapid large-scale development of strategic business.

(III) Plan for use of funds

2025 is a crucial year for the Company's strategic development. To meet the capital needs of rapid business expansion, the Company will establish a scientific and dynamic capital supply and demand management system. On the one hand, it will strengthen the overall planning, allocation, and efficient utilization of its own capital. By improving the full-process management mechanism of accounts receivable, it will shorten collection cycles and improve the capital turnover efficiency. On the other hand, it will continuously

42

Infore Environment Technology Group Co., Ltd. 2024 Annual Report

optimize its capital structure, reasonably control financial leverage, and enhance the flexibility and risk resistance of capital use while ensuring liquidity safety.

In terms of fundraising, the Company will adopt a diversified financing strategy. By issuing direct financing instruments such as short-term financing bonds and medium-term notes, combined with the accumulation of cash flows from operating activities, and optimizing the structure of bank loans and other multi-channel combinations, it will establish a stable capital supply system. At the same time, a dynamic funds monitoring mechanism will be established to adjust the scale and duration of financing in a flexible manner according to business development rhythms, ensuring that fund supply precisely matches the needs of business expansion and providing a solid financial guarantee for achieving the Company's strategic goals.

(IV) Main risk factors that may adversely affect the achievement of the Company's future development strategies and business objectives

1. Policy-related risks

Against the backdrop of the ongoing strengthening of national environmental protection policies, the environmental protection industry, a typical sector driven by policy, has ushered in development opportunities. However, policy changes may have a direct impact on the Company's operations. Changes in macroeconomic and environmental regulatory policies, adjustments to tax incentives, and upgrades of environmental protection standards may all lead to fluctuations in market demand, increases in operating costs, or adjustments to the business layout, thereby affecting the Company's operating performance.

Countermeasures: The Company has established a dynamic policy tracking mechanism and formed a professional research team to interpret national macroeconomic policies and industry regulations. By regularly analyzing policy trends and predicting potential impacts, it provides a scientific basis for decision-making for the management. At the same time, the insights gained from policy research are integrated into strategic planning and business development, strengthening the Company's ability to adapt to policy changes and manage risks effectively.

2. Operation management risks

As the Company expands its business scale, broadens its markets and develops more subsidiaries, its assets, personnel and organizations are also undergoing rapid expansion, causing its management to become more complex. Although the Company has formed a complete internal control system and continuously improved it, the difficulties of coordinated management are still increasing due to factors such as industry characteristics, regional differences, and cultural backgrounds of its branches.

Countermeasures: The Company adopts the strategy of "empowering the enterprise with talent + upgrading management". It expands the core management team by introducing high-end talent and carrying out special training to enhance the team's overall capabilities. Moreover, it strengthens the development of its management system and risk control mechanisms, optimizes the standardization of business processes, improves coordination across regions and departments, and fosters the integration of corporate culture to enhance organizational cohesion and risk prevention and control capabilities.

3. Heightened market competition risks

The sanitation industry in China is an emerging comprehensive industry that is still in the early stages of marketization and has a relatively low level of concentration. However, with its rapid growth, the involvement of upstream and downstream enterprises, and the continuous participation of new enterprises in different sectors, market competition will continue to intensify. The Company will likely face the risk of losing market share in the future.

Countermeasures: The Company adheres to the strategy of "technological innovation + competitive differentiation", continuously increases R&D investment, focuses on key technologies such as intelligent equipment and digital management, and consolidates its leading technological advantages. At the same time, by optimizing the product service system, creating differentiated solutions, strengthening brand value and customer service capabilities, it improves market competitiveness and ensures a stable industry position.

Details about the proposal for profit distribution and converting capital reserve into share capital

The profit distribution plan for 2024 is as follows: Based on the total share capital (minus company shares in the Company's repurchase account) on the date of record for the 2024 profit distribution plan, a cash dividend of RMB 1.89 (tax inclusive) per 10 shares will be distributed to the shareholders, with no bonus issue from either profit or capital reserves.

At the end of 2023, the Company reported RMB 786,431,614.32 in profits available for distribution and RMB 390,563,922.07 in retained earnings after cash dividends. In 2024, the Company realized a net profit of RMB 440,993,191.17 and a surplus reserve of RMB 44,099,319.12. As a result, profits available for distribution at the end of 2024 reached RMB 787,457,794.12. When the profit distribution plan for 2024 is implemented, if the total share capital (minus shares in the Company's repurchase account) on the date of record for the plan remains unchanged, which is 3,166,941,792, a cash dividend of RMB 1.89 (tax inclusive) will be distributed for every 10 shares, totaling RMB 598,551,998.69. As a result, retained earnings after cash dividends will be RMB 188,905,795.43. If the total share capital changes due to reasons such as the conversion of convertible bonds, share repurchases, stock incentive exercise, and the listing of new shares from refinancing before the plan is implemented, the Company will maintain the policy of distributing RMB 0.189 (tax inclusive) per share and adjust the total cash dividends accordingly.

Main body of the auditor's report

To the Shareholders of Infore Environment Technology Group Co., Ltd.:

I. Audit Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of Infore Environment Technology Group Co., Ltd. (the “Company”), which comprise the consolidated and parent company balance sheets as at December 31, 2024, the consolidated and parent company income statements, consolidated and parent company cash flow statements, and consolidated and parent company statements of changes in equity for the year then ended, as well as notes to financial statements.

In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as at December 31, 2024, and its financial performance and its cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with China Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises.

II. Basis for Audit Opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with China Standards on Auditing. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Certified Public Accountant's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the China Code of Ethics for Certified Public Accountants, and we have fulfilled other ethical responsibilities. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

III. Key Audit Matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and

111

Infore Environment Technology Group Co., Ltd. 2024 Annual Report

we do not express a separate opinion on these matters.

  • (I) Revenue recognition

1. Key audit matters

Please refer to section III (XXVII) and V (II) 1 of notes to the financial statements for details.

The Company is mainly engaged in sales of environmental and sanitation machinery and ventilation equipment as well as sanitation operation service. In 2024, the operating revenue amounted to 13,117.89 million yuan, with year-over-year growth of 3.85%. As operating revenue is one of the key performance indicators of the Company, there might be inherent risks that the Company's management (the “Management”) adopts inappropriate revenue recognition to achieve specific goals or expectations, we have identified revenue recognition as a key audit matter.

2. Responsive audit procedures

Our main audit procedures for revenue recognition are as follows:

(1) We obtained understandings of key internal controls related to revenue recognition, assessed the design of these controls, determined whether they had been executed, and tested the effectiveness of the operation;

(2) We checked sales contracts, obtained understandings of main contractual terms or conditions, and assessed whether the revenue recognition method was appropriate;

(3) We performed analysis procedure on operating revenue and gross margin by month, product, customer, project, etc., so as to identify whether there are significant or abnormal fluctuations and find out the reason;

(4) For revenue from sales of environmental and sanitation machinery, ventilation equipment, etc., we selected items to check related supporting documents, including sales contracts, sales invoices, outbound delivery orders, delivery notes, delivery receipts, etc. For revenue from sanitation operation service, we selected items to check related supporting documents, including sales contracts, service assessment statements, supervision schedule, etc.;

(5) We performed confirmation procedures on sales amount of selected items in combination with confirmation procedure of accounts receivable and contract assets;

(6) We performed cut-off tests to check whether the operating revenue was recognized in the appropriate period; and

112

Infore Environment Technology Group Co., Ltd. 2024 Annual Report

(7) We checked whether information related to operating revenue had been presented appropriately in the financial statements.

(II) Impairment of accounts receivable and long-term receivables

1. Key audit matters

Please refer to section III (XII), V (I) 3, 9 and 11 of notes to the financial statements for details.

As of December 31, 2024, the book balance of accounts receivable amounted to 7,182.52 million yuan, with provision for bad debts of 958.09 million yuan, and the carrying amount of 6,224.43 million yuan; the book balance of long-term receivables (including those due within one year) amounted to 1,201.90 million yuan, with provision for bad debts of 93.11 million yuan, and the carrying amount of 1,108.79 million yuan. The carrying amount of accounts receivable and long-term receivables (collectively referred to as “receivables”) totaled 7,333.22 million yuan.

Based on credit risk features of receivables, the Management measures the loss allowance at the amount of lifetime expected credit losses, either on an individual basis or on a collective basis. As the amounts of receivables are significant and the impairment test involves significant judgment of the Management, we have identified impairment of receivables as a key audit matter.

2. Responsive audit procedures

Our main audit procedures for impairment of receivables are as follows:

(1) We obtained understandings of key internal controls related to impairment of receivables, assessed the design of these controls, determined whether they had been executed, and tested the effectiveness of the operation;

(2) We reviewed the outcome of the Management's previous estimates on provision for bad debts or their subsequent re-estimations;

(3) We reviewed the consideration of the Management on credit risk assessment of receivables and objective evidence, and assessed whether the credit risk features of receivables had been appropriately identified by the Management;

(4) For receivables with expected credit losses measured on an individual basis, we reviewed the Management's estimations on the expected future cash flows, assessed the appropriateness of significant assumptions and the appropriateness, relevance and reliability of data used in the estimations and checked them with acquired external evidence;

113

Infore Environment Technology Group Co., Ltd. 2024 Annual Report

(5) For receivables with expected credit losses measured on a collective basis, we assessed the reasonableness of portfolio classification on the basis of credit risk features; we assessed the reasonableness of expected credit loss rate of accounts receivable determined by the Management, including the appropriateness of significant assumptions and the appropriateness, relevance and reliability of data used; we tested whether the Management's calculation of provision for bad debts was accurate;

(6) We checked the subsequent collection of receivables and assessed the reasonableness of provision for bad debts made by the Management; and

(7) We checked whether information related to impairment of receivables had been presented appropriately in the financial statements.

(III) Impairment of goodwill

1. Key audit matters

Please refer to section III (XXI) and V (I) 20 of notes to the financial statements for details.

As of December 31, 2024, the cost of goodwill amounted to 5,939.76 million yuan, with provision for impairment of 624.12 million yuan, and the carrying amount of 5,315.64 million yuan, accounting for 17.94% of total assets.

For asset group or asset group portfolio related to goodwill, the Management will perform impairment test on goodwill together with related asset group or asset group portfolio, and the recoverable amount of related asset group or asset group portfolio is determined based on the present value of estimated future cash flows. As the amount of goodwill is significant and impairment test involves significant judgment of the Management, we have identified impairment of goodwill as a key audit matter.

2. Responsive audit procedures

Our main audit procedures for impairment of goodwill are as follows:

(1) We obtained understandings of key internal controls related to impairment of goodwill, assessed the design of these controls, determined whether they had been executed, and tested the effectiveness of the operation;

(2) We reviewed the outcome of the Management's previous estimates on the present value of future cash flows or their subsequent re-estimations;

114

Infore Environment Technology Group Co., Ltd. 2024 Annual Report

(3) We assessed the competency, professional quality and objectivity of external appraisers engaged by the Management;

(4) We assessed the competency, professional quality and objectivity of experts engaged by us and the appropriateness of their works;

(5) We assessed the appropriateness and consistency of impairment test method adopted by the Management;

(6) We assessed the appropriateness of significant assumptions used in impairment test and reviewed whether relevant assumptions were consistent with overall economy environment, industry condition, management situation, historical experience, operation plan, approved budget, meeting summary, assumptions used in other accounting estimates and related assumptions used in other areas of business activities;

(7) We reviewed the sensitivity analysis on key assumptions performed by the Management, assessed the effect of changes in key assumptions on impairment test result, and identified signs of possible management bias in choosing key assumptions;

(8) We assessed the appropriateness, relevance and reliability of data used by the Management in the impairment test and reviewed the consistency of related information in the impairment test;

(9) We tested whether the Management's calculation of present value of estimated future cash flows was accurate; and

(10) We checked whether information related to impairment of goodwill had been presented appropriately in the financial statements.

IV. Other Information

The Management is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Company's annual report, but does not include the financial statements and our auditor's report thereon.

Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially

115

Infore Environment Technology Group Co., Ltd. 2024 Annual Report

misstated.

If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of the other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.

V. Responsibilities of the Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Financial Statements

The Management is responsible for preparing and presenting fairly the financial statements in accordance with China Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises, as well as designing, implementing and maintaining internal control relevant to the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial statements, the Management is responsible for assessing the Company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the Management either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the Company's financial reporting process.

VI. Certified Public Accountant's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with China Standards on Auditing will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.

We exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit performed in accordance with China Standards on Auditing. We also:

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

116

Infore Environment Technology Group Co., Ltd. 2024 Annual Report

control.

(II) Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances.

(III) Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the Management.

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

(V) Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

(VI) Obtain sufficient and appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Company to express an opinion on the financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the group audit. We remain sole responsibility for our audit opinion.

We communicate with those charged with governance regarding the planned audit scope, time schedule and significant audit findings, including any deficiencies in internal control of concern that we identify during our audit.

We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.

From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor's report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances,

we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

liabilities at fair value through profit or loss; (2) financial liabilities that arise when a transfer of a financial asset does not qualify for derecognition or when the continuing involvement approach applies; (3) financial guarantee contracts not fall within the above categories (1) and (2), and commitments to provide a loan at a below-market interest rate, which do not fall within the above category (1); (4) financial liabilities at amortized cost.

  1. Recognition criteria, measurement method and derecognition of financial assets and financial liabilities

  2. (1) Recognition criteria and measurement method of financial assets and financial liabilities

When the Company becomes a party to a financial instrument, it is recognized as a financial asset or financial liability. The financial assets and financial liabilities initially recognized by the Company are measured at fair value; for the financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, the transaction expenses thereof are directly included in profit or loss; for other categories of financial assets and financial liabilities, the transaction expenses thereof are included into the initially recognized amount. However, at initial recognition, for accounts receivable that do not contain a significant financing component or in circumstances where the Company does not consider the financing components in contracts within one year, they are measured at the transaction price in accordance with “CASBE 14 – Revenues”.

  • (2) Subsequent measurement of financial assets

  • 1) Financial assets measured at amortized cost

The Company measures its financial assets at the amortized costs using effective interest method. Gains or losses on financial assets that are measured at amortized cost and are not part of hedging relationships shall be included into profit or loss when the financial assets are derecognized, reclassified, amortized using effective interest method or recognized with impairment loss.

  • 2) Debt instrument investments at fair value through other comprehensive income

The Company measures its debt instrument investments at fair value. Interests, impairment gains or losses, and gains and losses on foreign exchange that calculated using effective interest method shall be included into profit or loss, while other gains or losses are included into other comprehensive income. Accumulated gains or losses that initially recognized as other comprehensive income should be transferred out into profit or loss when the financial assets are derecognized.

  • 3) Equity instrument investments at fair value through other comprehensive income

The Company measures its equity instrument investments at fair value. Dividends obtained (other than those as part of investment cost recovery) shall be included into profit or loss, while other gains or losses are included into other comprehensive income. Accumulated gains or losses that initially recognized as other comprehensive income should be transferred out into retained earnings when the financial assets are derecognized.

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

The Company measures its financial assets at fair value. Gains or losses arising from changes in fair value (including interests and dividends) shall be included into profit or loss, except for financial assets that are part of hedging relationships.

  • (3) Subsequent measurement of financial liabilities

  • 1) Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss

Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss include held-for-trading financial liabilities (including

139

Infore Environment Technology Group Co., Ltd. 2024 Annual Report

derivatives that are liabilities) and financial liabilities designated as at fair value through profit or loss. The Company measures such kind of liabilities at fair value. The amount of changes in the fair value of the financial liabilities that are attributable to changes in the Company's own credit risk shall be included into other comprehensive income, unless such treatment would create or enlarge accounting mismatches in profit or loss. Other gains or losses on those financial liabilities (including interests, changes in fair value that are attributable to reasons other than changes in the Company's own credit risk) shall be included into profit or loss, except for financial liabilities that are part of hedging relationships. Accumulated gains or losses that originally recognized as other comprehensive income should be transferred out into retained earnings when the financial liabilities are derecognized.

2) Financial liabilities that arise when a transfer of a financial asset does not qualify for derecognition or when the continuing involvement approach applies

The Company measures its financial liabilities in accordance with “CASBE 23 – Transfer of Financial Assets”. 3) Financial guarantee contracts not fall within the above categories 1) and 2), and commitments to provide a loan at a below-market interest rate, which do not fall within the above category 1)

4) Financial liabilities at amortized cost

The Company measures its financial liabilities at amortized cost using effective interest method. Gains or losses on financial liabilities that are measured at amortized cost and are not part of hedging relationships shall be included into profit or loss when the financial liabilities are derecognized and amortized using effective interest method.

(4) Derecognition of financial assets and financial liabilities

1) Financial assets are derecognized when:

a. the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial assets expire; or

b. the financial assets have been transferred and the transfer qualifies for derecognition in accordance with

“CASBE 23 – Transfer of Financial Assets”.

2) Only when the underlying present obligations of a financial liability are relieved totally or partly may the financial liability be derecognized accordingly.

  1. Recognition criteria and measurement method of financial assets transfer

Where the Company has transferred substantially all of the risks and rewards related to the ownership of the financial asset, it derecognizes the financial asset, and any right or liability arising from such transfer is recognized independently as an asset or a liability. If it retained substantially all of the risks and rewards related to the ownership of the financial asset, it continues recognizing the financial asset. Where the Company does not transfer or retain substantially all of the risks and rewards related to the ownership of a financial asset, it is dealt with according to the circumstances as follows respectively: (1) if the Company does not retain its control over the financial asset, it derecognizes the financial asset, and any right or liability arising from such transfer is recognized independently as an asset or a liability; (2) if the Company retains its control over the financial asset, according to the extent of its continuing involvement in the transferred financial asset, it recognizes the related financial asset and recognizes the relevant liability accordingly.

140

Infore Environment Technology Group Co., Ltd. 2024 Annual Report

If the transfer of an entire financial asset satisfies the conditions for derecognition, the difference between the amounts of the following two items is included in profit or loss: (1) the carrying amount of the transferred financial asset as of the date of derecognition; (2) the sum of consideration received from the transfer of the financial asset, and the accumulative amount of the changes of the fair value originally included in other comprehensive income proportionate to the transferred financial asset (financial assets transferred refer to debt instrument investments at fair value through other comprehensive income). If the transfer of financial asset partially satisfies the conditions for derecognition, the entire carrying amount of the transferred financial asset is, between the portion which is derecognized and the portion which is not, apportioned according to their respective relative fair value, and the difference between the amounts of the following two items is included into profit or loss: (1) the carrying amount of the portion which is derecognized; (2) the sum of consideration of the portion which is derecognized, and the portion of the accumulative amount of the changes in the fair value originally included in other comprehensive income which is corresponding to the portion which is derecognized (financial assets transferred refer to debt instrument investments at fair value through other comprehensive income).

  1. Fair value determination method of financial assets and liabilities

The Company uses valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data and information are available to measure fair value. The inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value are arranged in the following hierarchy and used accordingly:

(1) Level 1 inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company can access at the measurement date;

(2) Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 2 inputs include: quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, for example, interest rates and yield curves observable at commonly quoted intervals; market-corroborated inputs;

(3) Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. Level 3 inputs include interest rate that is not observable and cannot be corroborated by observable market data at commonly quoted intervals, historical volatility, future cash flows to be paid to fulfill the disposal obligation assumed in business combination, financial forecast developed using the Company's own data, etc.

  1. Impairment of financial instruments

The Company, on the basis of expected credit loss, recognizes loss allowances of financial assets at amortized cost, debt instrument investments at fair value through other comprehensive income, contract assets, leases receivable, loan commitments other than financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, financial guarantee contracts not belong to financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss or financial liabilities that arise when a transfer of a financial asset does not qualify for derecognition or when the continuing involvement approach applies.

Expected credit losses refer to the weighted average of credit losses with the respective risks of a default occurring as the weights. Credit loss refers to the difference between all contractual cash flows that are due to the Company in accordance with the contract and all the cash flows that the Company expects to receive (i.e., all cash

141

Infore Environment Technology Group Co., Ltd. 2024 Annual Report

shortfalls), discounted at the original effective interest rate. Among which, purchased or originated credit-impaired financial assets are discounted at the credit-adjusted effective interest rate.

At the balance sheet date, the Company shall only recognize the cumulative changes in the lifetime expected credit losses since initial recognition as a loss allowance for purchased or originated credit-impaired financial assets.

For leases receivable, and accounts receivable and contract assets resulting from transactions regulated in “CASBE 14 – Revenues”, the Company chooses simplified approach to measure the loss allowance at an amount equal to lifetime expected credit losses.

For financial assets other than the above, on each balance sheet date, the Company shall assess whether the credit risk on the financial instrument has increased significantly since initial recognition. The Company shall measure the loss allowance for the financial instrument at an amount equal to the lifetime expected credit losses if the credit risk on that financial instrument has increased significantly since initial recognition; otherwise, the Company shall measure the loss allowance for that financial instrument at an amount equal to 12-month expected credit loss.

Considering reasonable and supportable forward-looking information, the Company compares the risk of a default occurring on the financial instrument as at the balance sheet date with the risk of a default occurring on the financial instrument as at the date of initial recognition, so as to assess whether the credit risk on the financial instrument has increased significantly since initial recognition.

The Company may assume that the credit risk on a financial instrument has not increased significantly since initial recognition if the financial instrument is determined to have relatively low credit risk at the balance sheet date.

The Company shall estimate expected credit risk and measure expected credit losses on an individual or a collective basis. When the Company adopts the collective basis, financial instruments are grouped with similar credit risk features.

The Company shall remeasure expected credit loss on each balance sheet date, and increased or reversed amounts of loss allowance arising therefrom shall be included into profit or loss as impairment losses or gains. For a financial asset measured at amortized cost, the loss allowance reduces the carrying amount of such financial asset presented in the balance sheet; for a debt investment measured at fair value through other comprehensive income, the loss allowance shall be recognized in other comprehensive income and shall not reduce the carrying amount of such financial asset.

  1. Offsetting financial assets and financial liabilities

Financial assets and financial liabilities are presented separately in the balance sheet and are not offset. However, the Company offsets a financial asset and a financial liability and presents the net amount in the balance sheet when, and only when, the Company: (1) currently has a legally enforceable right to set off the recognized amounts; and (2) intends either to settle on a net basis, or to realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

For a transfer of a financial asset that does not qualify for derecognition, the Company does not offset the transferred asset and the associated liability.

  1. Provision for inventory write-down

Recognition criteria and accrual method of provision for inventory write-down

At the balance sheet date, inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value; provisions for inventory write-down are made on the excess of its cost over the net realizable value. The net realizable value of inventories held for sale is determined based on the amount of the estimated selling price less the estimated selling expenses and relevant taxes and surcharges in the ordinary course of business; the net realizable value of inventories to be processed is determined based on the amount of the estimated selling price less the estimated costs of completion, selling expenses and relevant taxes and surcharges in the ordinary course of business; at the balance sheet date, when only part of the same item of inventories have agreed price, their net realizable value are determined separately and are compared with their costs to set the provision for inventory write-down to be made or reversed.

(XIV) Non-current assets or disposal groups held for sale, discontinued operations

  1. Classification of non-current assets or disposal groups held for sale

Non-current assets or disposal groups are accounted for as held for sale when the following conditions are all met: (1) the asset must be available for immediate sale in its present condition subject to terms that are usual and customary for sales of such assets or disposal groups; (2) its sales must be highly probable, i.e., the Company has made a decision on the sale plan and has obtained a firm purchase commitment, and the sale is expected to be completed within one year.

When the Company acquires a non-current asset or disposal group with a view to resale, it shall classify the non-current asset or disposal group as held for sale at the acquisition date only if the requirement of “expected to be completed within one year” is met at that date and it is highly probable that other criteria for held for sale will be met within a short period (usually within three months).

An asset or a disposal group is still accounted for as held for sale when the Company remains committed to its plan to sell the asset or disposal group in the circumstance that non-related party transactions fail to be completed within one year due to one of the following reasons: (1) a buyer or others unexpectedly set conditions that will extend the sale period, while the Company has taken timely actions to respond to the conditions and expects a favorable resolution of the delaying factors within one year since the setting; (2) a non-current asset or disposal group classified as held for sale fails to be sold within one year due to rare cases, and the Company has taken action necessary to respond to the circumstances during the initial one-year period and the criteria for held for sale are met.

For initial measurement and subsequent measurement as at the balance sheet date of a non-current asset or disposal group held for sale, where the carrying amount is higher than the fair value less costs to sell, the carrying amount is written down to the fair value less costs to sell, and the write-down is recognized in profit or loss as assets impairment loss, meanwhile, provision for impairment of assets held for sale shall be made.

For a non-current asset or disposal group classified as held for sale at the acquisition date, the asset or disposal group is measured on initial recognition at the lower of its initial measurement amount had it not been so classified and fair value less costs to sell. Apart from the non-current asset or disposal group acquired through business combination, the difference arising from the initial recognition of a non-current asset or disposal group at the fair value less costs to sell shall be included into profit or loss.

The assets impairment loss recognized for a disposal group held for sale shall reduce the carrying amount of goodwill in the disposal group first, and then reduce its carrying amount based on the proportion of each non-current asset's carrying amount in the disposal group.

No provision for depreciation or amortization shall be made on non-current assets held for sale or non-current assets in disposal groups held for sale, while interest and other expenses attributable to the liabilities of a disposal group held for sale shall continue to be recognized.

(2) Reversal of assets impairment loss

When there is a subsequent increase in fair value less costs to sell of a non-current asset held for sale at the balance sheet date, the write-down shall be recovered, and shall be reversed not in excess of the impairment loss that has been recognized after the non-current asset was classified as held for sale. The reversal shall be included into profit or loss. Assets impairment loss that has been recognized before the classification is not reversed.

When there is a subsequent increase in fair value less costs to sell of a disposal group held for sale at the balance sheet date, the write-down shall be recovered, and shall be reversed not in excess of the non-current assets impairment loss that has been recognized after the disposal group was classified as held for sale. The reversal shall be included into profit or loss. The reduced carrying amount of goodwill and non-current assets impairment loss that has been recognized before the classification is not reversed.

For the subsequent reversal of the impairment loss that has been recognized in a disposal group held for sale, the carrying amount is increased based on the proportion of carrying amount of each non-current asset (excluding goodwill) in the disposal group.

(3) Non-current asset or disposal group that is no longer classified as held for sale and derecognized

A non-current asset or disposal group that does not meet criteria for held for sale and no longer classified as held for sale, or a non-current asset that removed from a disposal group held for sale shall be measured at the lower of: 1) its carrying amount before it was classified as held for sale, adjusted for any depreciation, amortization or impairment that would have been recognized had it not been classified as held for sale; and 2) its recoverable amount.

When a non-current asset or disposal group classified as held for sale is derecognized, unrecognized gains or losses shall be included into profit or loss.

  1. Recognition criteria of discontinued operations

A component of the Company that has been disposed of, or is classified as held for sale and can be clearly

146

Infore Environment Technology Group Co., Ltd. 2024 Annual Report

distinguished is recognized as a discontinued operation when it fulfills any of the following conditions:

  • (1) it represents a separate major line of business or a separate geographical area of operations;

  • (2) it is part of a related plan to dispose of a separate major line of business or a separate geographical area of

  • operations; or

  • (3) it is a subsidiary acquired exclusively with a review to resale.

  • Presentation method of discontinued operations

The Company presents gains or losses from continuing operations and gains or losses from discontinued operations separately in the income statement. Operating gains or losses including impairment loss of discontinued operations and its reversal amount, and gains or losses on disposal are presented as gains or losses from discontinued operations. For discontinued operations presented in the current period, the information previously presented as gains or losses from continuing operations is reclassified as gains or losses from discontinued operations for the comparative period in the current financial statements. For discontinued operations that no longer meet criteria for held for sale, the information previously presented as gains or losses from discontinued operations is reclassified as gains or losses from continuing operations for the comparative period in the current financial statements.

(XV) Long-term equity investments

  1. Judgment of joint control and significant influence

Joint control is the contractually agreed sharing of control of an arrangement, which exists only when decisions about the relevant activities require the unanimous consent of the parties sharing control. Significant influence is the power to participate in the financial and operating policy decisions of the investee but is not control or joint control of these policies.

  1. Determination of investment cost

(1) For business combination under common control, if the consideration of the combining party is that it makes payment in cash, transfers non-cash assets, assumes its liabilities or issues equity securities, on the date of combination, it regards the share of the carrying amount of the equity of the combined party included in the consolidated financial statements of the ultimate controlling party as the initial cost of the investment. The difference between the initial cost of the long-term equity investments and the carrying amount of the combination consideration paid or the par value of shares issued offsets capital reserve; if the balance of capital reserve is insufficient to offset, any excess is adjusted to retained earnings.

When long-term equity investments are obtained through business combination under common control achieved in stages, the Company determines whether it is a “bundled transaction”. If it is a “bundled transaction”, stages as a whole are considered as one transaction in accounting treatment. If it is not a “bundled transaction”, on the date of combination, investment cost is initially recognized at the share of the carrying amount of net assets of the combined party included the consolidated financial statements of the ultimate controlling party. The difference between the initial investment cost of long-term equity investments at the acquisition date and the carrying amount of the previously held long-term equity investments plus the carrying amount of the consideration paid for the newly acquired equity is adjusted to capital reserve; if the balance of capital reserve is insufficient to offset, any excess is adjusted to retained earnings.

(2) For business combination not under common control, investment cost is initially recognized at the

147

Infore Environment Technology Group Co., Ltd. 2024 Annual Report

acquisition-date fair value of considerations paid.

When long-term equity investments are obtained through business combination not under common control achieved in stages, the Company determined whether they are stand-alone financial statements or consolidated financial statements in accounting treatment:

1) In the case of stand-alone financial statements, investment cost is initially recognized at the carrying amount of the previously held long-term equity investments plus the carrying amount of the consideration paid for the newly acquired equity.

2) In the case of consolidated financial statements, the Company determines whether it is a “bundled transaction”. If it is a “bundled transaction”, stages as a whole are considered as one transaction in accounting treatment. If it is not a “bundled transaction”, the carrying amount of the acquirer's previously held equity interest in the acquiree is remeasured at the acquisition-date fair value, and the difference between the fair value and the carrying amount is recognized in investment income; when the acquirer's previously held equity interest in the acquiree involves other comprehensive income under equity method, the related other comprehensive income is reclassified as income for the acquisition period, excluding other comprehensive income arising from changes in net liabilities or assets from remeasurement of defined benefit plan of the acquiree.

(3) Long-term equity investments obtained through ways other than business combination: the initial cost of a long-term equity investment obtained by making payment in cash is the purchase cost which is actually paid; that obtained on the basis of issuing equity securities is the fair value of the equity securities issued; that obtained through debt restructuring is determined according to “CASBE 12 – Debt Restructuring”; and that obtained through noncash assets exchange is determined according to “CASBE 7 – Non-cash Assets Exchange”.

  1. Subsequent measurement and recognition method of profit or loss

For a long-term equity investment with control relationship, it is accounted for with cost method; for a long-

term equity investment with joint control or significant influence relationship, it is accounted for with equity method.

  1. Disposal of a subsidiary in stages resulting in the Company's loss of control

  2. (1) Judgement principles of “bundled transaction”

For disposal of a subsidiary in stages resulting in the Company's loss of control, the Company determines whether it is a “bundled transaction” based on the agreement terms for each stage, disposal consideration obtained separately, object of the equity sold, disposal method, disposal time point, etc. If the terms, conditions and economic effect of each transaction meet one or more of the following conditions, these transactions are usually considered as a “bundled transaction”:

  • 1) these transactions are entered into at the same time or in contemplation of each other;

  • 2) these transactions form a single transaction designed to achieve an overall commercial effect;

  • 3) the occurrence of one transaction is dependent on the occurrence of at least one other transaction; and

  • 4) one transaction considered on its own is not economically justified, but it is economically justified when

  • considered together with other transactions.

  • (2) Accounting treatments of non-bundled transactions

  • 1) Stand-alone financial statements

The difference between the carrying amount of the disposed equity and the consideration obtained thereof is

148

Infore Environment Technology Group Co., Ltd. 2024 Annual Report

recognized in profit or loss. If the disposal does not result in the Company's loss of significant influence or joint control, the remained equity is accounted for with equity method; however, if the disposal results in the Company's loss of control, joint control, or significant influence, the remained equity is accounted for according to “CASBE 22 – Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement”.

  • 2) Consolidated financial statements

Before the Company's loss of control, the difference between the disposal consideration and the proportionate share of net assets in the disposed subsidiary from acquisition date or combination date to the disposal date is adjusted to capital reserve (capital premium), if the balance of capital reserve is insufficient to offset, any excess is adjusted to retained earnings.

When the Company loses control, the remained equity is remeasured at the loss-of-control-date fair value. The aggregated value of disposal consideration and the fair value of the remained equity, less the share of net assets in the disposed subsidiary held before the disposal from the acquisition date or combination date to the disposal date is recognized in investment income in the period when the Company loses control over such subsidiary, and meanwhile goodwill is offset correspondingly. Other comprehensive income related to equity investments in former subsidiary is reclassified as investment income upon the Company's loss of control.

  • (3) Accounting treatment of bundled transaction

  • 1) Stand-alone financial statements

Stages as a whole are considered as one transaction resulting in loss of control in accounting treatment. However, before the Company loses control over a subsidiary, the difference between the disposal consideration at each stage and the carrying amount of long-term equity investments corresponding to the disposed investments is recognized as other comprehensive income at the stand-alone financial statements and reclassified as profit or loss in the period when the Company loses control over such subsidiary.

  • 2) Consolidated financial statements

Stages as a whole are considered as one transaction resulting in loss of control in accounting treatment. However, before the Company loses control over a subsidiary, the difference between the disposal consideration at each stage and the proportionate share of net assets in the disposed subsidiary is recognized as other comprehensive income at the consolidated financial statements and reclassified as profit or loss in the period when the Company loses control over such subsidiary.

  • (XVI) Investment property

  • Investment property includes land use right of leased-out property and of property held for capital

appreciation and buildings that have been leased out.

  1. The initial measurement of investment property is based on its cost, and subsequent measurement is made using the cost model, the depreciation or amortization method is the same as that of fixed assets and intangible assets.

(XVII) Fixed assets

  1. Recognition principles of fixed assets

Fixed assets are tangible assets held for use in the production of goods or rendering of services, for rental to others, or for administrative purposes, and expected to be used during more than one accounting year. Fixed assets

149

Infore Environment Technology Group Co., Ltd. 2024 Annual Report

are recognized if, and only if, it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the assets will flow to the Company and the cost of the assets can be measured reliably.

(XVIII) Construction in progress

  1. Construction in progress is recognized if, and only if, it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Company, and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. Construction in progress is measured at the actual cost incurred to reach its designed usable conditions.

  2. Construction in progress is transferred into fixed assets at its actual cost when it reaches the designed usable conditions. When the auditing of the construction in progress is not finished while reaching the designed usable conditions, it is transferred to fixed assets using estimated value first, and then adjusted accordingly when the actual cost is settled, but the accumulated depreciation is not to be adjusted retrospectively.

(XIX) Borrowing costs

  1. Recognition principle of borrowing costs capitalization

Where the borrowing costs incurred to the Company can be directly attributable to the acquisition and construction or production of assets eligible for capitalization, it is capitalized and included in the costs of relevant assets; other borrowing costs are recognized as expenses on the basis of the actual amount incurred, and are included in profit or loss.

  1. Borrowing costs capitalization period

  2. (1) The borrowing costs are not capitalized unless the following requirements are all met: 1) the asset

  3. disbursements have already incurred; 2) the borrowing costs have already incurred; and 3) the acquisition and

150

Infore Environment Technology Group Co., Ltd. 2024 Annual Report

construction or production activities which are necessary to prepare the asset for its intended use or sale have already started.

(2) Suspension of capitalization: where the acquisition and construction or production of a qualified asset is interrupted abnormally and the interruption period lasts for more than 3 months, the capitalization of the borrowing costs is suspended; the borrowing costs incurred during such period are recognized as expenses, and are included in profit or loss, till the acquisition and construction or production of the asset restarts.

(3) Ceasing of capitalization: when the qualified asset under acquisition and construction or production is ready for the intended use or sale, the capitalization of the borrowing costs is ceased.

  1. Capitalization rate and capitalized amount of borrowing costs

For borrowings exclusively for the acquisition and construction or production of assets eligible for capitalization, the to-be-capitalized amount of interests is determined in light of the actual interest expenses incurred (including amortization of premium or discount based on effective interest method) of the special borrowings in the current period less the interest income on the unused borrowings as a deposit in the bank or as a temporary investment; where a general borrowing is used for the acquisition and construction or production of assets eligible for capitalization, the Company calculates and determines the to-be-capitalized amount of interests on the general borrowing by multiplying the weighted average asset disbursement of the excess of the accumulative capital disbursements over the special borrowings by the capitalization rate of the general borrowing used.

(XX) Intangible assets

  1. Intangible assets include land use right, franchise, patented technology, software, etc. The initial measurement of intangible assets is based on its cost.

  2. For intangible assets with finite useful lives, their amortization amounts are amortized within their useful lives systematically and reasonably, if it is unable to determine the expected realization pattern reliably, intangible assets are amortized by the straight-line method with details as follows:

Items Useful life and determination basis Amortization method
Land use right 35-50 years; useful life registered on the
land use certificate
Straight-line method
Franchise Contractual term Straight-line method
Patented technology 5-10 years; economic life cycle Straight-line method
Software 3-10 years; estimated economic life Straight-line method
  1. Permitted scope of R&D costs

(1) Personnel costs

Personnel costs include wages and salaries, basic endowment insurance premiums, basic medical insurance premiums, unemployment insurance premiums, occupational injuries premiums, maternity premiums and housing provident funds for the Company's R&D personnel, as well as labor costs for external R&D personnel.

If R&D personnel serve for multiple R&D projects at the same time, personnel costs are recognized based on their working hour records provided by the Company's administrative department, and proportionately allocated among different R&D projects.

151

Infore Environment Technology Group Co., Ltd. 2024 Annual Report

If personnel directly engaged in R&D activities and external R&D personnel are engaged in non-R&D activities at the same time, the Company, based on their working hour records at different positions, allocates personnel costs actually incurred between R&D expenses and production and operating expenses using reasonable methods such as the ratio of actual working hours.

(2) Direct input costs

Direct input costs refer to relevant expenses actually incurred by the Company for R&D activities, which include: 1) materials, fuel and power costs directly consumed by R&D activities; 2) development and manufacturing costs of molds and craft equipment used for intermediate tests and trial production, acquisition costs of samples, prototypes and general testing methods that do not constitute fixed assets, and inspection costs of trial production; and 3) operation and maintenance, adjustment, inspection, testing and repairing costs of instruments and equipment used for R&D activities.

(3) Depreciation and long-term prepayments

Depreciation refers to the depreciation of instruments, equipment and in-use buildings used for R&D activities. For instruments, equipment and in-use buildings both used for R&D activities and non-R&D activities, necessary records shall be kept on their usage, and depreciation actually incurred is allocated between R&D expenses and production and operating expenses in a reasonable manner based on the actual working hours, the usable area, etc.

Long-term prepayments refer to those incurred during renovation, modification, decoration and repairing of

  • R&D facilities, which are collected based on actual amount and amortized evenly over a specified period. (4) Amortization of intangible assets

Amortization of intangible assets refer to the amortization of software, intellectual property, and non-patented

technology (proprietary technology, licenses, design and calculation methods, etc.) used for R&D activities.

  • (5) Design expenses

Design expenses refer to expenses incurred for the conception, development and manufacturing of new products and techniques, design of processes, technical specifications, process specification formulation, operational characteristics, etc., including expenses incurred for creative design activities to obtain innovative, creative and breakthrough products.

  • (6) Equipment commissioning and testing expenses

Equipment commissioning expenses refer to expenses incurred for R&D activities during tooling preparation, including expenses incurred for activities such as development of special and specialized production machines, changes in production and quality control procedures, development of new methods and standards, etc.

Expenses incurred for routine tooling preparation and industrial engineering for the purpose of large-scale/mass and commercial production are not included in the permitted scope.

Testing expenses include clinical trial fees for new drug development, on-site testing fees for exploration and production technologies, field testing fees, etc.

  • (7) R&D outsourcing expenses

R&D outsourcing expenses refer to expenses incurred for R&D activities outsourced to other domestic or foreign organizations or individuals (outcomes of R&D activities are owned by the Company and closely related to

152

Infore Environment Technology Group Co., Ltd. 2024 Annual Report

the Company's main business operations).

(8) Other expenses

Other expenses refer to expenses other than those mentioned above that are directly related to R&D activities, including technical books and materials fees, data translation fees, expert consultation fees, high-tech R&D insurance premiums, R&D outcomes search, demonstration, evaluation, appraisal and acceptance fees, intellectual property application, registration and agency fees, conference fees, business travelling fees, communication fees, etc.

  1. Expenditures on the research phase of an internal project are recognized as profit or loss when they are incurred. An intangible asset arising from the development phase of an internal project is recognized if the Company can demonstrate all of the followings: (1) the technical feasibility of completing the intangible asset so that it will be available for use or sale; (2) its intention to complete the intangible asset and use or sell it; (3) how the intangible asset will generate probable future economic benefits, among other things, the Company can demonstrate the existence of a market for the output of the intangible asset or the intangible asset itself or, if it is to be used internally, the usefulness of the intangible asset; (4) the availability of adequate technical, financial and other resources to complete the development and to use or sell the intangible asset; and (5) its ability to measure reliably the expenditure attributable to the intangible asset during its development.

  2. Criteria for distinguishing the research phase from the development phase of an internal project to create an intangible asset:

The planned investigation phase for acquiring new technology and knowledge should be defined as the research phase, which has the characteristics of planning and exploratory nature; before commercial production or use, when the research results or other knowledge are applied to a certain plan or design with the intention to produce new or substantially improved materials, devices, products, etc., such stage should be determined as the development phase, which has the characteristics of pertinence and greater possibility of forming results. The Company divides the research and development phases by forming the prototype drawing and starting the prototype trial production. Expenditures in the research phase of internal research and development projects are included in profit or loss when they incur. When the Company enters the development phase, project expenditures are first calculated by projects under “development expenditure”, and if the capitalization conditions are met, they are presented as development expenditures in the financial statements. The project will be transferred to intangible assets when the project has the conditions for sale or mass production.

(XXI) Impairment of part of long-term assets

For long-term assets such as long-term equity investments, investment property at cost model, fixed assets, construction in progress, right-of-use assets, intangible assets with finite useful lives, etc., if at the balance sheet date there is indication of impairment, the recoverable amount is to be estimated. For goodwill recognized in business combination and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives, no matter whether there is indication of impairment, impairment test is performed annually. Impairment test on goodwill is performed on related asset group or asset group portfolio.

When the recoverable amount of such long-term assets is lower than their carrying amount, the difference is recognized as provision for assets impairment through profit or loss.

153

Infore Environment Technology Group Co., Ltd. 2024 Annual Report

(XXII) Long-term prepayments

Long-term prepayments are expenses that have been recognized but with amortization period over one year (excluding one year). They are recorded with actual cost, and evenly amortized within the beneficiary period or stipulated period. If items of long-term prepayments fail to be beneficial to the following accounting periods, residual values of such items are included in profit or loss.

(XXIII) Employee benefits

  1. Employee benefits include short-term employee benefits, post-employment benefits, termination benefits

and other long-term employee benefits.

  1. Short-term employee benefits

The Company recognizes, in the accounting period in which an employee provides service, short-term employee benefits actually incurred as liabilities, with a corresponding charge to profit or loss or the cost of a relevant asset.

  1. Post-employment benefits

The Company classifies post-employment benefit plans as either defined contribution plans or defined benefit plans.

(1) The Company recognizes in the accounting period in which an employee provides service the contribution payable to a defined contribution plan as a liability, with a corresponding charge to profit or loss or the cost of a relevant asset.

(2) Accounting treatment by the Company for defined benefit plan usually involves the following steps:

1) In accordance with the projected unit credit method, using unbiased and mutually compatible actuarial assumptions to estimate related demographic variables and financial variables, measure the obligations under the defined benefit plan, and determine the periods to which the obligations are attributed. Meanwhile, the Company discounts obligations under the defined benefit plan to determine the present value of the defined benefit plan obligations and the current service cost;

2) When a defined benefit plan has assets, the Company recognizes the deficit or surplus by deducting the fair value of defined benefit plan assets from the present value of the defined benefit plan obligation as a net defined benefit plan liability or net defined benefit plan asset. When a defined benefit plan has a surplus, the Company measures the net defined benefit plan asset at the lower of the surplus in the defined benefit plan and the asset ceiling;

3) At the end of the period, the Company recognizes the following components of employee benefits cost arising from defined benefit plan: a. service cost; b. net interest on the net defined benefit plan liability (asset); and c. changes as a result of remeasurement of the net defined benefit liability (asset). Item a and item b are recognized in profit or loss or the cost of a relevant asset. Item c is recognized in other comprehensive income and is not to be reclassified subsequently to profit or loss. However, the Company may transfer those amounts recognized in other comprehensive income within equity.

4. Termination benefits

Termination benefits provided to employees are recognized as an employee benefit liability for termination benefits, with a corresponding charge to profit or loss at the earlier of the following dates: (1) when the Company cannot unilaterally withdraw the offer of termination benefits because of an employment termination plan or a

154

Infore Environment Technology Group Co., Ltd. 2024 Annual Report

curtailment proposal; or (2) when the Company recognizes cost or expenses related to a restructuring that involves the payment of termination benefits.

5. Other long-term employee benefits

When other long-term employee benefits provided to the employees satisfied the conditions for classifying as a defined contribution plan, those benefits are accounted for in accordance with the requirements relating to defined contribution plan, while other benefits are accounted for in accordance with the requirements relating to defined benefit plan. The Company recognizes the cost of employee benefits arising from other long-term employee benefits as the followings: (1) service cost; (2) net interest on the net liability or net assets of other long-term employee benefits; and (3) changes as a result of remeasurement of the net liability or net assets of other long-term employee benefits. As a practical expedient, the net total of the aforesaid amounts is recognized in profit or loss or included in the cost of a relevant asset.

(XXIV) Provisions

  1. Provisions are recognized when fulfilling the present obligations arising from contingencies such as providing guarantee for other parties, litigation, products quality guarantee, onerous contract, etc., may cause the outflow of the economic benefit and such obligations can be reliably measured.

  2. The initial measurement of provisions is based on the best estimated expenditures required in fulfilling the present obligations, and its carrying amount is reviewed at the balance sheet date.

(XXV) Share-based payment

  1. Types of share-based payment

Share-based payment consists of equity-settled share-based payment and cash-settled share-based payment.

  1. Accounting treatment for settlements, modifications and cancellations of share-based payment plans

  2. (1) Equity-settled share-based payment

For equity-settled share-based payment transaction with employees, if the equity instruments granted vest immediately, the fair value of those equity instruments is measured at grant date and recognized as transaction cost or expense, with a corresponding adjustment in capital reserve; if the equity instruments granted do not vest until the counterparty completes a specified period of service or fulfills certain performance conditions, at the balance sheet date within the vesting period, the fair value of those equity instruments measured at grant date based on the best estimate of the number of equity instruments expected to vest is recognized as transaction cost or expense, with a corresponding adjustment in capital reserve.

For equity-settled share-based payment transaction with parties other than employees, if the fair value of the services received can be measured reliably, the fair value is measured at the date the Company receives the service; if the fair value of the services received cannot be measured reliably, but that of equity instruments can be measured reliably, the fair value of the equity instruments granted measured at the date the Company receives the service is referred to, and recognized as transaction cost or expense, with a corresponding increase in equity.

(2) Cash-settled share-based payment

For cash-settled share-based payment transactions with employees, if share appreciation rights vest immediately, the fair value of the liability incurred as the acquisition of services is measured at grant date and recognized as transaction cost or expense, with a corresponding increase in liabilities; if share appreciation rights

155

Infore Environment Technology Group Co., Ltd. 2024 Annual Report

do not vest until the employees have completed a specified period of service or fulfills certain performance conditions, the liability is measured, at each balance sheet date until settled, at the fair value of the share appreciation rights measured at grant date based on the best estimate of the number of share appreciation right expected to vest.

(3) Modifications and cancellations of share-based payment plan

If the modification increases the fair value of the equity instruments granted, the Company includes the incremental fair value granted in the measurement of the amount recognized for services received as consideration for the equity instruments granted; similarly, if the modification increases the number of equity instruments granted, the Company includes the fair value of the additional equity instruments granted, in the measurement of the amount recognized for services received as consideration for the equity instruments granted; if the Company modifies the vesting conditions in a manner that is beneficial to the employee, the Company takes the modified vesting conditions into account.

If the modification reduces the fair value of the equity instruments granted, the Company does not take into account that decrease in fair value and continue to measure the amount recognized for services received as consideration for the equity instruments based on the grant date fair value of the equity instruments granted; if the modification reduces the number of equity instruments granted to an employee, that reduction is accounted for as a cancellation of that portion of the grant; if the Company modifies the vesting conditions in a manner that is not beneficial to the employee, the Company does not take the modified vesting conditions into account.

If the Company cancels or settles a grant of equity instruments during the vesting period (other than that cancelled when the vesting conditions are not satisfied), the Company accounts for the cancellation or settlement as an acceleration of vesting, and therefore recognizes immediately the amount that otherwise would have been recognized for services received over the remainder of the vesting period.

(XXVI) Other financial instruments such as preferred shares and perpetual bonds

Pursuant to CASBEs on financial instruments and “Regulations on Accounting Treatments of Perpetual Bonds” (Cai Kuai [2019] No. 2) issued by the Ministry of Finance, for financial instruments such as convertible bonds etc., the Company classifies a financial instrument or its components at initial recognition as a financial asset or liability or equity instrument, based on contract terms and economic essence it reveals instead of its legal form, combining with the definitions of financial asset, liability and equity instrument.

At the balance sheet date, for a financial instrument classified as an equity instrument, its interest expenditure or dividend distribution is treated as profit distribution, and share repurchase and cancelation are treated as changes in equity; for a financial instrument classified as a financial liability, its interest expenditure or dividend distribution is treated as borrowing expense, and gain or loss on repurchase or redemption is included in profit or loss.

(XXVII) Revenue

  1. Revenue recognition principles

At contract inception, the Company shall assess the contracts and shall identify each performance obligation in the contracts, and determine whether the performance obligation should be satisfied over time or at a point in time.

The Company satisfies a performance obligation over time if one of the following criteria is met, otherwise, the performance obligation is satisfied at a point in time: (1) the customer simultaneously receives and consumes

156

Infore Environment Technology Group Co., Ltd. 2024 Annual Report

the economic benefits provided by the Company's performance as the Company performs; (2) the customer can control goods as they are created by the Company's performance; (3) goods created during the Company's performance have irreplaceable uses and the Company has an enforceable right to the payments for performance completed to date during the whole contract period.

For each performance obligation satisfied over time, the Company shall recognize revenue over time by measuring the progress towards complete satisfaction of that performance obligation. In the circumstance that the progress cannot be measured reasonably, but the costs incurred in satisfying the performance obligation are expected to be recovered, the Company shall recognize revenue only to the extent of the costs incurred until it can reasonably measure the progress. For each performance obligation satisfied at a point in time, the Company shall recognize revenue at the time point that the customer obtains control of relevant goods or services. To determine whether the customer has obtained control of goods, the Company shall consider the following indications: (1) the Company has a present right to payments for the goods, i.e., the customer is presently obliged to pay for the goods; (2) the Company has transferred the legal title of the goods to the customer, i.e., the customer has legal title to the goods; (3) the Company has transferred physical possession of the goods to the customer, i.e., the customer has physically possessed the goods; (4) the Company has transferred significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods to the customer, i.e., the customer has obtained significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods; (5) the customer has accepted the goods; (6) other evidence indicating the customer has obtained control over the goods.

  1. Revenue measurement principle

(1) Revenue is measured at the amount of the transaction price that is allocated to each performance obligation. The transaction price is the amount of consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring goods or services to a customer, excluding amounts collected on behalf of third parties and those expected to be refunded to the customer.

(2) If the consideration promised in a contract includes a variable amount, the Company shall confirm the best estimate of variable consideration at expected value or the most likely amount. However, the transaction price that includes the amount of variable consideration only to the extent that it is high probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is subsequently resolved.

(3) In the circumstance that the contract contains a significant financing component, the Company shall determine the transaction price based on the price that a customer would have paid for if the customer had paid cash for obtaining control over those goods or services. The difference between the transaction price and the amount of promised consideration is amortized under effective interest method over contractual period. The effects of a significant financing component shall not be considered if the Company expects, at the contract inception, that the period between when the customer obtains control over goods or services and when the customer pays consideration will be one year or less.

158

Infore Environment Technology Group Co., Ltd. 2024 Annual Report

The Company shall make provision for impairment and recognize an impairment loss to the extent that the carrying amount of an asset related to contract costs exceeds the remaining amount of consideration that the Company expects to receive in exchange for the goods or services to which the asset relates less the costs expected to be incurred. The Company shall recognize a reversal of an impairment loss previously recognized in profit or loss when the impairment conditions no longer exist or have improved. The carrying amount of the asset after the reversal shall not exceed the amount that would have been determined on the reversal date if no provision for impairment had been made previously.

(XXIX) Contract assets, contract liabilities

The Company presents contract assets or contract liabilities in the balance sheet based on the relationship between its performance obligations and customers' payments. Contract assets and contract liabilities under the same contract shall offset each other and be presented on a net basis.

The Company presents an unconditional right to consideration (i.e., only the passage of time is required before the consideration is due) as a receivable, and presents a right to consideration in exchange for goods that it has transferred to a customer (which is conditional on something other than the passage of time) as a contract asset.

The Company presents an obligation to transfer goods to a customer for which the Company has received consideration (or the amount is due) from the customer as a contract liability.

(XXX) Government grants

  1. Government grants shall be recognized if, and only if, the following conditions are all met: (1) the Company will comply with the conditions attaching to the grants; (2) the grants will be received. Monetary government grants are measured at the amount received or receivable. Non-monetary government grants are measured at fair value, and can be measured at nominal amount in the circumstance that fair value cannot be assessed.

  2. Government grants related to assets

Government grants related to assets are government grants with which the Company purchases, constructs or otherwise acquires long-term assets under requirements of government. In the circumstances that there is no specific government requirement, the Company shall determine based on the primary condition to acquire the grants, and government grants related to assets are government grants whose primary condition is to construct or otherwise acquire long-term assets. They offset carrying amount of relevant assets, or they are recognized as deferred income. If recognized as deferred income, they are included in profit or loss on a systematic basis over the useful lives of the relevant assets. Those measured at notional amount are directly included into profit or loss. For assets sold, transferred, disposed or damaged within the useful lives, balance of unamortized deferred income is transferred into profit or loss of the period in which the disposal occurred.

  1. Government grants related to income

Government grants related to income are government grants other than those related to assets. For government grants that contain both parts related to assets and parts related to income, in which those two parts are blurred, they are thus collectively classified as government grants related to income. For government grants related to income used for compensating the related future cost, expenses or losses, they are recognized as deferred income and included in profit or loss or used to offset relevant cost during the period in which the relevant cost, expenses or losses are recognized; for government grants related to income used for compensating the related cost, expenses or

159

Infore Environment Technology Group Co., Ltd. 2024 Annual Report

losses incurred to the Company, they are directly included in profit or loss or used to offset relevant cost.

  1. Government grants related to the ordinary course of business shall be included into other income or used to offset relevant cost based on business nature, while those not related to the ordinary course of business shall be included into non-operating revenue or expenditures.

(XXXI) Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities

  1. Deferred tax assets or deferred tax liabilities are calculated and recognized based on the difference between the carrying amount and tax base of assets and liabilities (and the difference of the carrying amount and tax base of items not recognized as assets and liabilities but with their tax base being able to be determined according to tax laws) and in accordance with the tax rate applicable to the period during which the assets are expected to be recovered or the liabilities are expected to be settled.

  2. A deferred tax asset is recognized to the extent of the amount of the taxable income, which is most likely to obtain and which can be deducted from the deductible temporary difference. At the balance sheet date, if there is any exact evidence indicating that it is probable that future taxable income will be available against which deductible temporary differences can be utilized, the deferred tax assets unrecognized in prior periods are recognized.

  3. At the balance sheet date, the carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed. The carrying amount of a deferred tax asset is reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable income will be available to allow the benefit of the deferred tax asset to be utilized. Such reduction is subsequently reversed to the extent that it becomes probable that sufficient taxable income will be available.

  4. The income tax and deferred tax for the period are treated as income tax expenses or income through profit or loss, excluding those arising from the following circumstances: (1) business combination; and (2) the transactions or items directly recognized in equity.

  5. Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities shall offset each other and be presented on a net basis when the following conditions are all met: (1) the Company has the legal right to settle off current tax assets against current tax liabilities; (2) the deferred tax assets and the deferred tax liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same tax authority on either: 1) the same taxable entity; or 2) different taxable entities which intend either to settle current tax liabilities and assets on a net basis, or to realize the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously, in each future period in which significant amounts of deferred tax assets or liabilities are expected to be recovered or settled.

(XXXII) Leases

  1. The Company as the lessee

At the commencement date, the Company recognizes a lease that has a lease term of 12 months or less as a short-term lease, which shall not contain a purchase option; the Company recognizes a lease as a lease of a lowvalue asset if the underlying asset is of low value when it is new. If the Company subleases an asset, or expects to sublease an asset, the head lease does not qualify as a lease of a low-value asset.

For all short-term leases and leases of low-value assets, lease payments are recognized as cost or profit or loss with straight-line method over the lease term.

Apart from the above-mentioned short-term leases and leases of low-value assets with simplified approach, the Company recognizes right-of-use assets and lease liabilities at the commencement date.

160

Infore Environment Technology Group Co., Ltd. 2024 Annual Report

(1) Right-of-use assets

The right-of-use asset is measured at cost and the cost shall comprise: 1) the amount of the initial measurement of the lease liabilities; 2) any lease payments made at or before the commencement date, less any lease incentives received; 3) any initial direct costs incurred by the lessee; and 4) an estimate of costs to be incurred by the lessee in dismantling and removing the underlying asset, restoring the site on which it is located or restoring the underlying asset to the condition required by the terms and conditions of the lease.

The Company depreciates the right-of-use asset using the straight-line method. If it is reasonable to be certain that the ownership of the underlying asset can be acquired by the end of the lease term, the Company depreciates the right-of-use asset from the commencement date to the end of the useful life of the underlying asset. Otherwise, the Company depreciates the right-of-use asset from the commencement date to the earlier of the end of the useful life of the right-of-use asset or the end of the lease term.

(2) Lease liabilities

At the commencement date, the Company measures the lease liability at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at that date, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease. If that rate cannot be readily determined, the Company's incremental borrowing rate shall be used. Unrecognized financing expenses, calculated at the difference between the lease payment and its present value, are recognized as interest expenses over the lease term using the discount rate which has been used to determine the present value of lease payment and included in profit or loss. Variable lease payments not included in the measurement of lease liabilities are included in profit or loss in the periods in which they are incurred.

After the commencement date, if there is a change in the following items: 1) actual fixed payments; 2) amounts expected to be payable under residual value guarantees; 3) an index or a rate used to determine lease payments; 4) assessment result or exercise of purchase option, extension option or termination option, the Company remeasures the lease liability based on the present value of lease payments after changes, and adjusts the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset accordingly. If the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset is reduced to zero but there shall be a further reduction in the lease liability, the remaining amount shall be recognized into profit or loss.

2. The Company as the lessor

At the commencement date, the Company classifies a lease as a finance lease if it transfers substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of an underlying asset. Otherwise, it is classified as an operating lease.

  • (1) Operating lease

Lease receipts are recognized as lease income with straight-line method over the lease term. Initial direct costs incurred shall be capitalized, amortized on the same basis as the recognition of lease income, and included into profit or loss by installments. Variable lease payments related to operating lease which are not included in the lease payment are charged as profit or loss in the periods in which they are incurred.

(2) Finance lease

At the commencement date, the Company recognizes the finance lease payment receivable based on the net investment in the lease (sum of the present value of unguaranteed residual value and lease receipts that are not received at the commencement date, discounted by the interest rate implicit in the lease), and derecognizes assets held under the finance lease. The Company calculates and recognizes interest income using the interest rate implicit

161

Infore Environment Technology Group Co., Ltd. 2024 Annual Report

in the lease over the lease term.

Variable lease payments not included in the measurement of the net investment in the lease are charged as profit or loss in the periods in which they are incurred.

  1. Sale and leaseback

  2. (1) The Company as the lessee

In accordance with the “CASBE 14 – Revenues”, the Company would assess and determine whether the transfer of an asset in the sale and leaseback transaction is accounted for as a sale of that asset.

If the transfer of an asset is accounted for as a sale of the asset, the Company measures the right-of-use asset arising from the leaseback at the proportion of the original carrying amount of the asset that relates to the right of use retained by the Company. Accordingly, the Company recognizes only the amount of any gain or loss that relates to the rights transferred to the lessor.

Otherwise, the Company continues the recognition of the transferred assets, and recognizes a financial liability equal to the amount of transfer income in accordance with the “CASBE 22 – Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement” at the same time.

  • (2) The Company as the lessor

In accordance with the “CASBE 14 – Revenues”, the Company would assess and determine whether the transfer of an asset in the sale and leaseback transaction is accounted for as a sale of that asset.

If the transfer of an asset is accounted for as a sale of the asset, the Company accounts for the purchase of assets in accordance with other applicable standards, and accounts for the lease of assets in accordance with the “CASBE 21 – Leases”.

Otherwise, the Company does not recognize the transferred asset, but recognizes a financial asset equal to the amount of transfer income in accordance with the “CASBE 22 – Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement”.

(XXXIII) Work safety fund

The Company appropriates work safety fund in accordance with the “Circular on Management Measures on the Appropriation and Use of Work Safety Fund” (Cai Zi [2022] No. 136) issued by the Ministry of Finance and the Ministry of Emergency Management. Standard work safety fund is included in the cost or profit or loss, meanwhile accounted for under “special reserve”. When work safety fund is used as an expense, it is to offset special reserve directly. When work safety fund is qualified to be included in the cost of fixed assets, it is accounted for under “construction in progress” and transferred to fixed assets when related safety projects reach the designed useful conditions; meanwhile, the cost included in fixed assets is to offset “special reserve”, and accumulated depreciation shall be recognized at the same amount. Such fixed assets shall not be depreciated in future periods.

(XXXIV) Segment reporting

Operating segments are determined based on the structure of the Company's internal organization, management requirements and internal reporting system. An operating segment is a component of the Company:

  1. that engages in business activities from which it may earn revenues and incur expenses;

  2. whose financial performance is regularly reviewed by the Management to make decisions about resource to

be allocated to the segment and to assess its performance; and

162

Infore Environment Technology Group Co., Ltd. 2024 Annual Report

  1. for which accounting information regarding financial position, financial performance and cash flows is

available through analysis.

(XXXV) Other significant accounting policies and estimates

1. PPP business

The Company adopts the build-operate-transfer approach (PPP projects, mainly using BOT, TOT, etc.) to participate in the public infrastructure business. The project company obtains the franchise of public infrastructure projects from government departments and participates in the construction and operation of the project. After the franchise expires, the project company needs to hand over relevant infrastructure to the government or the department designated by the government.

For the PPP project contract under which the Company provides multiple services (such as the rendering of construction services of PPP projects as well as post-completion operation services and maintenance services), the Company identifies each performance obligation in the contracts in accordance with the provisions of “CASBE 14 – Revenues”, and allocates the transaction price to each performance obligation on the basis of the relative standalone selling prices. If the stand-alone selling price cannot be directly observed, or if there is a lack of similar market prices, the Company will take into account market conditions, specific factors of the Company and information related to customers and other relevant information, and make a reasonable estimate of the stand-alone selling price using methods such as market adjustment method, cost-plus method, residual value method, etc. Construction services are performance obligations satisfied over time. Revenue from construction services is recognized by the percentage of completion of the performance obligations, which is determined based on the proportion of the incurred costs to the estimated total costs. In the circumstance that the percentage of completion cannot be measured reasonably, but the incurred costs are expected to be recovered, the Company recognizes revenue only to the extent of the incurred costs until it can reasonably measure the percentage of completion.

The Company has the right to charge users of public goods and services during the operation of the project in accordance with the PPP project contracts. However, if the amount of the fees is uncertain, such right does not constitute an unconditional right to receive cash, and the consideration or construction revenue of the relevant PPP project assets is recognized as intangible assets when the PPP project assets reach the designed useful conditions, which shall be accounted for in accordance with “CASBE 6 – Intangible Assets”.

If the Company is qualified to have the right to receive a determinable amount of cash (or other financial assets) during the operation of the project in accordance with the PPP project contracts, such amount is recognized as accounts receivable when the Company has the right to such consideration (the right depends only on the factor of the passage of time) and is accounted for in accordance with “CASBE 22 – Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement”. The Company recognizes the difference between the consideration or construction revenue of the relevant PPP project assets and the determinable amount of cash (or other financial assets) as intangible assets when the PPP project assets reach the designed useful conditions.

For the portion of the consideration or construction revenue recognized as intangible assets, the contract assets recognized during the relevant construction period are presented under “intangible assets” in the balance sheet; for other contract assets recognized during the construction period, they are presented under “contract assets”, or “other non-current assets” in the balance sheet if they are expected to be realized within twelve months of the balance sheet

163

Infore Environment Technology Group Co., Ltd. 2024 Annual Report

date.

After the PPP project assets reach the designed useful conditions, the Company recognizes revenue related to operating services in accordance with “CASBE 14 – Revenues”.

  1. Accounting treatment related to share repurchase

When the Company repurchases its shares for the purpose of reducing its registered capital or rewarding its employees, if the purchased shares are to be kept as treasury shares, the treasury shares are recorded at the cash distributed to existing shareholders for repurchase; if the purchased shares are to be retired, the difference between the total book value of shares retired and the cash distributed to existing shareholders for repurchase is to reduce capital reserve, or retained earnings when the capital reserve is not enough to reduce. If the Company repurchases vested equity instruments in equity-settled share-based payment transactions with employees, cost of treasury shares granted to employees and capital reserve (other capital reserve) accumulated within the vesting period are to be written off on the payment made to employees, with a corresponding adjustment in capital reserve (share premium).

Due to the fact that the acceptor of bank acceptance is commercial bank, which is of high credit level, there is very little possibility of failure in recoverability when it is due. Based on this fact, the Company derecognized the endorsed or discounted bank acceptance. However, if any bank acceptance is not recoverable when it is due, the Company still holds joint liability on such acceptance, according to the China Commercial Instrument Law. 5. Advances paid

Note: In December 2018, Zoomlion Environmental Company, which was acquired under business combination under common control by the Company, had two asset groups, i.e., sanitation vehicles and equipment manufacturing and sales asset group and urban-rural sanitation integrated operation asset group (including waste transfer, landfill and treatment). Data of original goodwill at the formation of Zoomlion Environmental Company was based on the fair value of the identifiable net assets as at the end of June 2017 under asset-based method in the appraisal report numbered Zhong Rui Ping Bao Zi [2017] 110731042, without considering the synergy between the urban-rural sanitation integrated operation asset group of Zoomlion Environmental Company and the waste incineration power generation operation asset group of former Green Oriental Company. After the business combination of Zoomlion Environmental Company, as its urban-rural sanitation integrated operation asset group and the waste incineration power generation operation asset group of Green Oriental Company were similar in terms of business acquisition, production and operation activities, and cash return realization methods, and the Management had started to carry out integrated management, these two asset groups were identified as the urban-rural sanitation integrated operation asset group portfolio.

The Company acquired Lianjiang Company through business combination not under common control in February 2022. After the business combination of Lianjiang Company, as its asset group and urban-rural sanitation integrated operation asset group and the waste incineration power generation operation asset group of the Company were similar in terms of business acquisition, production and operation activities, and cash return realization methods, and the Management had carried out integrated management, the asset group of Lianjiang Company was identified as the urban-rural sanitation integrated operation asset group portfolio.

As the Company disposed of Funan Company on February 1, 2024, Funan Company was removed from the disposed urban-rural sanitation integrated operation asset group portfolio.

IX. Risks Related to Financial Instruments

In risk management, the Company aims to seek the appropriate balance between the risks and benefits from its use of financial instruments and to mitigate the adverse effects that the risks of financial instruments have on the Company's financial performance, so as to maximize the profits of shareholders and other equity investors. Based on such risk management objectives, the Company's risk management policies are established to identify and analyze the risks faced by the Company, to set appropriate risk limits and controls, and to monitor risks and adherence to limits on a timely and reliable basis.

The Company has exposure to the following risks from its use of financial instruments, which mainly include: credit risk, liquidity risk, and market risk. The Management has deliberated and approved policies concerning such risks, and details are:

(I) Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk that one party to a financial instrument will cause a financial loss for the other party by failing to discharge an obligation.

1. Credit risk management practice

(1) Evaluation method of credit risk

At each balance sheet date, the Company assesses whether the credit risk on a financial instrument has increased significantly since initial recognition. When assessing whether the credit risk has increased significantly since initial recognition, the Company takes into account reasonable and supportable information, which is available without undue cost or effort, including qualitative and quantitative analysis based on historical data, external credit risk rating, and forward-looking information. The Company determines the changes in default risk of financial instruments during the estimated lifetime through comparison of the default risk at the balance sheet date and the initial recognition date, on an individual basis or a collective basis.

The Company considers the credit risk on a financial instrument has increased significantly when one or more of the following qualitative and quantitative standards are met:

239

Infore Environment Technology Group Co., Ltd. 2024 Annual Report

1) Quantitative standard mainly relates to the scenario in which, at the balance sheet date, the probability of default in the remaining lifetime has risen by more than a certain percentage compared with the initial recognition;

2) Qualitative standard mainly relates to significant adverse changes in the debtor's operation or financial position, present or expected changes in technology, market, economy or legal environment that will have significant adverse impact on the debtor's repayment ability;

(2) Definition of default and credit-impaired assets

A financial instrument is defined as defaulted when one or more following events have occurred, of which the standard is consistent with that for credit-impairment:

1) significant financial difficulty of the debtor;

2) a breach of binding clause of contract;

  • 3) it is very likely that the debtor will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganization;

4) the creditor of the debtor, for economic or contractual reasons relating to the debtor's financial difficulty, having granted to the debtor a concession(s) that the creditor would not otherwise consider.

2. Measurement of expected credit losses

The key factors in the measurement of expected credit loss include the probability of default, loss given default, and exposure to default risk. The Company develops a model of the probability of default, loss given default, and exposure to default risk on the basis of quantitative analysis of historical data (e.g., counterparty rating, guarantee measures and collateral type, payment method, etc.) and forward-looking information.

  1. Please refer to section V (I) 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 11 and 23 of notes to the financial statements for details on the reconciliation table of opening balance and closing balance of loss allowances of financial instrument.

4. Exposure to credit risk and concentration of credit risk

The Company's credit risk is primarily attributable to cash and bank balances and receivables. In order to control such risks, the Company has taken the following measures:

(1) Cash and bank balances

The Company deposits its bank balances and other cash and bank balances in financial institutions with relatively high credit levels, hence, its credit risk is relatively low.

(2) Receivables and contract assets

The Company performs credit assessment on customers using credit settlement on a regular basis. The Company selects credible and well-reputed customers based on credit assessment result, and conducts ongoing monitoring on balance of receivables, to avoid significant risks in bad debts.

As the Company's credit risks fall into several business partners and customers, as of December 31, 2024, 7.13%

240

Infore Environment Technology Group Co., Ltd. 2024 Annual Report

(December 31, 2023: 7.33%) of the total accounts receivable and contract assets was due from the five largest customers of the Company. The Company has no significant central credit risk.

The maximum amount of exposure to credit risk of the Company is the carrying amount of each financial asset at the balance sheet.

(II) Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company may encounter deficiency of funds in meeting obligations associated with cash or other financial assets settlement, which is possibly attributable to failure in selling financial assets at fair value on a timely basis, or failure in collecting liabilities from counterparties of contracts, or early redemption of debts, or failure in achieving estimated cash flows.

In order to control such risk, the Company comprehensively utilizes financing tools such as notes settlement, bank borrowings, etc. and adopts long-term and short-term financing methods to optimize financing structures, and finally maintains a balance between financing sustainability and flexibility. The Company has obtained credit limit from several commercial banks to meet working capital requirements and expenditures.

(III) Market risk

Market risk is the risk that the Company may encounter fluctuation in fair value or future cash flows of financial instruments due to changes in market price. Market risk mainly includes interest risk and foreign currency risk.

1. Interest risk

Interest risk is the risk that an enterprise may encounter fluctuation in fair value or future cash flows of financial instruments due to changes in market interest rates. The Company's fair value interest risks arise from fixed-rate financial instruments, while the cash flow interest risks arise from floating-rate financial instruments. The Company determines the proportion of fixed-rate financial instruments and floating-rate financial instruments based on the market environment, and maintains a proper financial instruments portfolio through regular review and monitoring. The Company's interest risk in cash flows relates mainly to bank borrowings with floating interest rate.

As of December 31, 2024, balance of borrowings with interest accrued at floating interest rate totaled 1,772,042,454.13 yuan (December 31, 2023: 1,811,617,334.60 yuan). If interest rates had been 50 basis points higher/lower and all other variables were held constant, the Company's gross profit and equity will not be significantly affected.

2. Foreign currency risk

Foreign currency risk is the risk arising from changes in fair value or future cash flows of financial instrument resulted from changes in exchange rate. The Company is mainly operated in mainland China, whose main activities are denominated in RMB, hence, the Company bears insignificant market risk arising from foreign exchange changes.

Please refer to section V (IV) 1 of notes to the financial statements for details on foreign currency financial assets and liabilities at the balance sheet date.
