X. Risks Faced by the Company and Countermeasures

1. Macroeconomic policy risks

In 2023 the Russia-Uzbekistan war and geopolitical conflicts will continue the century-old changes will accelerate the Federal

Reserve will continue to raise interest rates and the recovery of the world economy will be weak. The foundation for my country's

economic recovery is not yet solid. Economic development is facing triple pressures of demand contraction supply shocks and

weakening expectations. The external export environment is severe and the downward pressure on the economy is increasing. The

downstream demand of the domestic iron and steel industry is generally weak and the market pattern of supply exceeding demand

has not changed fundamentally. The optimization and adjustment of domestic iron and steel layout is accelerating the strategic

restructuring of iron and steel enterprises continues to advance and changes in domestic fiscal and financial policies to stabilize

growth will bring many uncertain factors to the development of the iron and steel industry.Countermeasures: First strengthen research on national fiscal financial and industrial policies fully accurately and

comprehensively implement new development concepts and continuously improve the forward-looking and effectiveness of

policy research. The second is to seize the opportunities for macro policy adjustment and development optimize and adjust

strategic planning in a timely manner focus on key areas such as safety greenness efficiency intelligence and high-quality

products adhere to extreme thinking deepen lean operations accelerate the conversion of old and new growth drivers and

actively promote green and low-carbon transformation and upgrading create more comparative advantages continuously improve

core competitiveness and strive to achieve high-quality development of the enterprise.

2. Raw material and fuel prices and supply risks

The monopoly situation of global iron ore supply is difficult to change in the short term domestic iron ore demand is highly

dependent on foreign countries and strategic resources such as coal and coke have obvious shortcomings. The implementation

time of the "Cornerstone Plan" of my country's steel industry is short and the independent controllability of the supply chain of the

steel industry chain is relatively weak. The financial attributes of black ore and coal coke resources have been enhanced and

domestic and foreign hot money speculation is frequent. Energy conservation and emission reduction policies continue to deepen

the production capacity of upstream coal coke enterprises is limited various internal and external factors lead to frequent

fluctuations in the price of raw materials and fuels and the risk of raw materials and fuel prices and security supply increases.Countermeasures: First adhere to the "predictive" business procurement concept strengthen the analysis and judgment of raw

material supply and market demand build a raw material procurement model scientifically control the procurement timing and

adjust the procurement strategy in a timely manner. The second is to strengthen strategic cooperation in the supply of raw

materials and fuels consolidate and expand domestic raw and fuel procurement channels deeply aggregate raw and fuel resources

accelerate the formation of a domestic and foreign dual-cycle supply chain security guarantee pattern and enhance the price

advantage of large-scale procurement. The third is to optimize the structure of production furnace materials adjust the

the adverse effects caused by fluctuations in the prices of raw materials and fuels and minimize the cost of raw materials and fuels.

3. Environmental protection risks

With the continuous strengthening of the country's environmental protection and the promotion of "carbon peaking and carbon

neutrality" the environmental protection department continues to increase the supervision of pollution control in the iron and steel

26Bengang Steel Plates Co. Ltd. 2023 Semi-Annual Report

industry and the investment in environmental protection and operating costs of iron and steel enterprises have increased and iron

and steel enterprises will face increasing pressure on environmental protection and governance.Countermeasures: The first is to establish a sound production and operation system for green and low-carbon circular development

that is to further improve resource and energy utilization efficiency promote ultra-low emission transformation and

comprehensive pollutant management and continue to reduce carbon emission intensity through equipment energy-saving and

environmental protection upgrades and advanced technology promotion and application. The second is to actively carry out

product ecological design and life cycle assessment to create green and low-carbon products. The third is to strengthen the

operation and maintenance and standardized operation control of existing environmental protection equipment and facilities

focusing on strengthening the monitoring of air pollution sources. The fourth is to build a "AAA" scenic garden-style factory as a

starting point and strive to improve the environment of the factory area.

the remaining equity minus the share of the original subsidiary’s net assets calculated continuously from the

purchase date or the merger date and the sum of goodwill calculated according to the original shareholding ratio

the difference will be included in the investment income of the period when the control right is lost. Other

(2) Translation of foreign currency financial statements

The asset and liability items in the statement of financial position are converted at the spot exchange rate on the

balance sheet date; the owner's equity items are converted at the spot exchange rate at the time of occurrence

except for “Undistributed profit”. The income and expense items in the statement of profit or loss and other

comprehensive income shall be converted at the spot exchange rate on the transaction date.When disposing of an overseas operation the translation difference of the foreign currency financial statements

related to the overseas operation shall be transferred from the owner's equity item to the current profit and loss

of the disposal.

10. Financial Instruments

When the Company becomes a party to a financial instrument contract it recognizes a financial asset financial

liability or equity instrument.

(1) Classification of financial instruments

According to the Company's business model for managing financial assets and the contractual cash flow

characteristics of financial assets financial assets are classified into: financial assets measured at amortized cost

financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income and financial assets at fair value

through profit or loss.The Company classifies financial assets that meet the following conditions and are not designated as financial

assets at fair value through profit or loss as financial assets at amortized cost:

- The business model is to collect contractual cash flows;

- Contractual cash flows are only payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.

90Bengang Steel Plates Co. Ltd. 2023 Semi-Annual Report

The Company classifies financial assets that meet the following conditions and are not designated as financial

assets at fair value through profit or loss as financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income

(debt instruments):

- The business model aims at both collecting contractual cash flows and selling the financial asset;

- Contractual cash flows are only payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.For non-trading equity instrument investments the Company can irrevocably designate them as financial assets

(equity instruments) measured at fair value and whose changes are included in other comprehensive income at

the time of initial recognition. The designation is made on an individual investment basis and the underlying

investment meets the definition of an equity instrument from the perspective of the issuer.Except for the above financial assets measured at amortized cost and at fair value through other comprehensive

income the Company classifies all other financial assets as financial assets at fair value through profit or loss.Financial liabilities are classified at initial recognition into: financial liabilities at fair value through profit or

loss and financial liabilities at amortized cost.Financial liabilities that meet one of the following conditions can be designated as financial liabilities at fair

value through profit or loss at the time of initial measurement:

1) Financial liabilities that meet one of the following conditions can be designated as financial liabilities at fair

value through profit or loss at the time of initial measurement:

2) According to the corporate risk management or investment strategy stated in formal written documents

manage and evaluate the performance of financial liability portfolios or financial assets and financial liability

portfolios based on fair value and report to key management personal within the Company on this basis.

3) This financial liability contains embedded derivatives that need to be separated separately.

(2) Recognition basis and measurement method of financial instruments

1) Financial assets measured at amortized cost

Financial assets measured at amortized cost include notes receivable accounts receivable other receivables

long-term receivables debt investments etc. and are initially measured at fair value and relevant transaction

costs are included in the initially recognized amount; excluding that the accounts receivable of the major

financing component and the accounts receivable of the financing component that the Company decides not to

consider for no more than one year shall be initially measured at the contract transaction price.The interest calculated using the effective interest rate method during the holding period is included in the

current profit and loss.When recovering or disposing the difference between the price obtained and the book value of the financial

asset is included in the current profit and loss.

91Bengang Steel Plates Co. Ltd. 2023 Semi-Annual Report

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

Financial assets (debt instruments) measured at fair value and whose changes are included in other

comprehensive income include receivables financing other debt investments etc. and are initially measured at

fair value and relevant transaction costs are included in the initial recognition amount. The financial assets are

subsequently measured at fair value and changes in fair value are included in other comprehensive income

except for interest calculated using the effective interest rate method impairment losses or gains and exchange

gains and losses.When derecognition is terminated the accumulated gains or losses previously included in other comprehensive

income are transferred out of other comprehensive income and included in current profit and loss.

3) Financial assets (equity instruments) measured at fair value through other comprehensive income

Financial assets (equity instruments) measured at fair value through other comprehensive income including

other equity instrument investments are initially measured at fair value and relevant transaction costs are

included in the initially recognized amount. The financial assets are subsequently measured at fair value and

changes in fair value are included in other comprehensive income. Dividends obtained are included in current

profit and loss.When derecognition is terminated the accumulated gains or losses previously included in other comprehensive

income are transferred out of other comprehensive income and included in retained earnings.

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

Financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss include transactional financial assets derivative

financial assets and other non-current financial assets etc. and are initially measured at fair value and relevant

transaction costs are included in current profit or loss. The financial assets are subsequently measured at fair

value and changes in fair value are included in current profit and loss.

5) Financial liabilities measured at fair value through profit or loss

Financial liabilities measured at fair value and whose changes are included in current profit and loss include

trading financial liabilities and derivative financial liabilities etc. and are initially measured at fair value and

relevant transaction costs are included in current profit and loss. The financial liabilities are subsequently

measured at fair value and changes in fair value are included in current profit and loss.When derecognition is terminated the difference between its book value and the consideration paid is included

in the current profit and loss.

6) Financial liabilities measured at amortized cost

Financial liabilities measured at amortized cost include short-term loans notes payable accounts payable other

payables long-term loans bonds payable and long-term payables and are initially measured at fair value and

relevant transaction costs are included in the initial recognition amount.

92Bengang Steel Plates Co. Ltd. 2023 Semi-Annual Report

The interest calculated using the effective interest rate method during the holding period is included in the

current profit and loss.When derecognition is terminated the difference between the consideration paid and the book value of the

financial liability is included in the current profit and loss.

(3) Derecognition of financial assets and transfer of financial assets

When one of the following conditions is met the Company derecognizes financial assets:

- Termination of contractual rights to receive cash flows from financial assets;

- The financial asset has been transferred and almost all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial

asset have been transferred to the transferee;

- The financial assets have been transferred. Although the Company neither transfers nor retains almost all the

risks and rewards of ownership of the financial assets it does not retain control over the financial assets.When a financial asset is transferred if almost all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset are

retained the financial asset will not be derecognized.When judging whether the transfer of financial assets meets the above conditions for derecognition of financial

assets the principle of substance over form is adopted. The Company distinguishes the transfer of financial

assets into the transfer of financial assets as a whole and the transfer of parts. If the overall transfer of financial

assets meets the conditions for derecognition the difference between the following two amounts shall be

included in the current profit and loss:

1) The book value of the financial asset transferred;

2) The consideration received due to the transfer and the cumulative amount of changes in fair value that were

originally included in the owner’s equity (if the financial asset involved in the transfer is a financial asset (debt

instrument) that is measured at fair value and whose changes are included in other comprehensive income).If the partial transfer of financial assets meets the conditions for derecognition the overall book value of the

transferred financial assets shall be apportioned between the derecognized part and the unterminated part

according to their respective relative fair values and the difference between the following two amounts shall be

included in current profit and loss:

1) The book value of the derecognized portion;

2) The consideration for the derecognition part and the amount corresponding to the derecognition part of the

accumulative amount of fair value changes that were originally included in the owner’s equity (the financial

assets involved in the transfer are financial assets that are measured at fair value and whose changes are

included in other comprehensive income ( in the case of debt instruments)).

93Bengang Steel Plates Co. Ltd. 2023 Semi-Annual Report

If the transfer of financial assets does not meet the conditions for derecognition the financial assets shall

continue to be recognized and the consideration received shall be recognized as a financial liability.

(4) Derecognition of financial liabilities

If all or part of the current obligation of a financial liability has been discharged the financial liability or a part

thereof shall be derecognized; if the Company signs an agreement with the creditor to replace the existing

financial liability by assuming a new financial liability and if the contract terms of the new financial liability

and the existing financial liability are substantially different the existing financial liability shall be

derecognized and the new financial liability shall be recognized at the same time.If a substantive modification is made to all or part of the contract terms of an existing financial liability the

existing financial liability or a part thereof shall be derecognized and the financial liability after the modified

terms shall be recognized as a new financial liability.When all or part of a financial liability is derecognized the difference between the book value of the

derecognized financial liability and the consideration paid (including non-cash assets transferred out or new

financial liabilities assumed) is included in the current profit and loss.If the Company repurchases part of the financial liabilities the book value of the financial liabilities as a whole

shall be allocated on the date of repurchase according to the relative fair value of the part that continues to be

recognized and the part that is derecognized. The difference between the book value allocated to the

derecognized part and the consideration paid (including non-cash assets transferred out or new financial

liabilities assumed) is included in the current profit and loss.

(5) Determination of fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities

For financial instruments with an active market their fair value is determined by the quoted price in the active

market. For financial instruments that do not have an active market valuation techniques are used to determine

their fair value. When valuing the Company adopts valuation techniques that are applicable in the current

situation and supported by sufficient available data and other information and select inputs consistent with the

characteristics of assets or liabilities considered by market participants in transactions of related assets or

liabilities and give preference to relevant observable inputs. Use unobservable input values only when the

relevant observable input values are not available or practicable to obtain.

(6) Test method and accounting treatment method for impairment of financial assets

The Company estimates the expected credit losses of financial assets measured at amortized cost financial

assets at fair value through other comprehensive income (debt instruments) and financial guarantee contracts

either individually or in combination.The Company considers reasonable and well-founded information about past events current conditions and

forecasts of future economic conditions and uses the risk of default as the weight to calculate the difference

between the cash flow receivable by the contract and the cash flow expected to be received. The probability-

weighted amount of the present value of the recognized expected credit loss. If the credit risk of the financial

94Bengang Steel Plates Co. Ltd. 2023 Semi-Annual Report

instrument has increased significantly since the initial recognition the Company shall measure its loss provision

at an amount equivalent to the expected credit loss of the financial instrument throughout its duration. If the

credit risk of the financial instrument has not increased significantly since the initial recognition the Company

shall measure its loss provision at an amount equivalent to the expected credit loss of the financial instrument

within the next 12 months. The resulting increase or reversal of the loss provision is included in the current

profit and loss as an impairment loss or gain.The Company compares the default risk of financial instruments on the balance sheet date with the risk of

default on the initial recognition date to determine the relative change in the default risk of financial instruments

during the expected duration and to assess the credit risk of financial instruments has increased significantly

since initial recognition. Usually overdue for more than 30 days the Company considers that the credit risk of

the financial instrument has increased significantly unless there is conclusive evidence to prove that the credit

risk of the financial instrument has not increased significantly since the initial recognition.If the credit risk of a financial instrument is relatively low on the balance sheet date the Company considers

that the credit risk of the financial instrument has not increased significantly since initial recognition.If there is objective evidence that a certain financial asset has been credit-impaired the Company shall make

provision for impairment of the financial asset on an individual basis. For the accounts receivables and contractassets formed by the transactions regulated by “Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises No. 14 –Revenue” (2017) regardless of whether they contain significant financing components the Company calculates

them according to the expected credit loss equivalent to the entire duration to measure its loss allowance.For lease receivables the Company chooses to measure its loss provision at an amount equivalent to the

expected credit loss during its full lifetime.If the Company no longer reasonably expects that the cash flow of the financial asset contract can be recovered

in whole or in part it will directly write down the book balance of the financial assets.

11. Inventories

(1) Classification and costs of inventories

Inventory is classified into: materials in transit raw materials turnover materials stock goods work in progress

goods delivered and materials for commissioned processing etc.Inventories are initially measured at cost and inventory costs include purchase costs processing costs and other

expenses incurred to bring the inventories to their current location and state.

(2) Valuation method for dispatched inventory

Inventories are priced using the weighted average method when they are dispatched.

95Bengang Steel Plates Co. Ltd. 2023 Semi-Annual Report

(3) Basis for determining the net realizable value of different categories of inventories

On the balance sheet date inventories shall be measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value. When the

cost of inventory is higher than its net realizable value a provision for price of inventory decline shall be made.The net realizable value of inventories refers to the estimated selling price of inventories in ordinary activities

minus the estimated costs to be incurred until completion estimated sales expenses and related taxes.Inventories of finished goods goods in stock and materials for sale etc. which are directly used for sale are

determined by the estimated selling price of the inventory minus the estimated sales expenses and relevant taxes

and fees during the normal production and operation process to determine the net realizable value. Inventory of

materials that need to be processed in the normal production and operation process is determined by the

estimated selling price of the finished product minus the estimated cost to be incurred until completion

estimated sales expenses and related taxes and fees to determine the net realizable value. For inventories held

for the execution of sales contracts or service contracts the net realizable value is calculated based on the

contract price. If the quantity of inventories held exceeds the quantity ordered in the sales contract the net

realizable value of the excess inventory is calculated based on the general sales price.After provision for inventory decline if the factors affecting the reduction of inventory value before have

disappeared resulting in the net realizable value of the inventory being higher than its book value it shall be

reversed within the amount of the original provision for inventory decline and the reversed amount is included

in the current profit and loss.

(4) Inventory system

The Company adopts the perpetual inventory system.

(5) Amortization of low-valued consumables and packing materials

1) Low-valued consumables shall be amortized in full amount on issuance.

2) Packing materials shall be amortized in full amount on issuance.

12. Contract Costs

Contract costs are divided into contract fulfillment costs and contract obtaining costs.If the cost incurred by the Company for the contract fulfillment costs does not fall within the scope of relevant

standards such as inventory fixed assets or intangible assets it shall be recognized as an asset as a contract

fulfillment costs when the following conditions are met:

* The cost is directly related to a current or anticipated contract;

* The cost increases the company's future resources to meet performance obligations;

* The cost is expected to be recoverable.

96Bengang Steel Plates Co. Ltd. 2023 Semi-Annual Report

If the incremental cost incurred by the Company to acquire the contract is expected to be recoverable it is

recognized as an asset as the cost of obtaining the contract.Assets related to contract costs are amortized on the same basis as the recognition of goods or service revenue

related to the assets; however if the amortization period of contract acquisition costs does not exceed one year

the Company will include them in the current profit and loss when incurred.For assets related to contract costs if the book value is higher than the difference between the following two

items the Company will make provision for impairment for the excess part and recognize it as asset impairment

loss:

1. The remaining consideration expected to be obtained from the transfer of goods or services related to the

asset;

2. The estimated costs to be incurred for the transfer of the related good or service.

If the depreciation factor in the previous period changes later so that the aforementioned difference is higher

than the book value of the asset the Company will reverse the original depreciation provision and include it in

the current profit and loss but the book value of the asset after the reversal shall not exceed the book value of

the asset on the transfer-back date assuming no provision for impairment is made.

13. Long-term Equity Investments

(1) Judgment criteria for joint control and significant influence

Joint control refers to the shared control of an arrangement in accordance with the relevant agreement and the

relevant activities of the arrangement must be unanimously agreed by the parties sharing the control right before

decisions can be made. If the Company and other joint venture parties exercise joint control over the invested

unit and have rights to the net assets of the invested unit the invested unit is a joint venture of the Company.Significant influence refers to the right to participate in the decision-making of the investee's financial and

operating decisions but cannot control or jointly control the formulation of these policies with other parties. If

the Company is able to exert significant influence on the invested unit the invested unit is an associate of the

Company.

(2) Determination of initial investment cost

1) Long-term equity investment formed by business combination

For a long-term equity investment in a subsidiary formed by a business combination under the same control the

initial investment cost of the long-term equity investment shall be the share of the book value of the owner's

equity of the merged party in the consolidated financial statements of the ultimate controlling party on the date

of combination. For the difference between the initial investment cost of long-term equity investment and the

book value of the consideration paid the equity premium in the capital reserve shall be adjusted; if the equity

premium in the capital reserve is insufficient to offset the retained earnings shall be adjusted.

97Bengang Steel Plates Co. Ltd. 2023 Semi-Annual Report

For a long-term equity investment in a subsidiary formed by a business combination not under the same control

the initial investment cost of the long-term equity investment shall be the combination cost determined on the

purchase date.

2) Long-term equity investment obtained through other means than business combination

For long-term equity investment acquired by cash payment the actual purchase price paid shall be regarded as

the initial investment cost.For long-term equity investment obtained by issuing equity securities the initial investment cost shall be the

fair value of the issued equity securities.

(3) Subsequent measurement and profit or loss recognition method

1) Long-term equity investment accounted for by cost method

The Company's long-term equity investment in subsidiaries is accounted for using the cost method unless the

investment meets the conditions of being held for sale. Except for the price actually paid when acquiring the

investment or the cash dividends or profits that have been declared but not yet distributed included in the

consideration the Company recognizes the current investment income according to the cash dividends or profits

declared by the invested unit.

2) Long-term equity investment accounted for by equity method

Long-term equity investments in associates and joint ventures are accounted for using the equity method. If the

initial investment cost is greater than the difference between the share of the fair value of the identifiable net

assets of the investee that should be enjoyed at the time of investment the initial investment cost of the long-

term equity investment will not be adjusted; The difference between the initial investment cost and the share of

the fair value of the identifiable net assets of the investee that should be enjoyed at the time of investment shall

be included in the current profit and loss and the cost of long-term equity investment shall be adjusted at the

same time.The Company recognizes the investment income and other comprehensive income respectively according to the

share of the net profit or loss and other comprehensive income realized by the invested unit that it should enjoy

or share and adjust the book value of the long-term equity investment at the same time; The book value of the

long-term equity investment shall be correspondingly reduced according to the portion of the profits or cash

dividends declared by the investee to be distributed; For other changes in the owner's equity of the investeeother than net profit and loss other comprehensive income and profit distribution (referred to as “other changesin owner’s equity”) the book value of the long-term equity investment is adjusted and included in the owner's

equity.When confirming the share of the investee's net profit or loss other comprehensive income and other changes in

owner's equity it is based on the fair value of the investee's identifiable net assets when the investment is

obtained and in accordance with the Company's accounting policies and accounting periods. It is confirmed

after adjusting the net profit and other comprehensive income of the invested unit.

98Bengang Steel Plates Co. Ltd. 2023 Semi-Annual Report

The unrealized profit and loss of internal transactions between the Company and its associates and joint

ventures shall be calculated according to the share attributable to the Company and offset investment income is

recognized on this basis except that the assets invested or sold constitute a business. If the unrealized internal

transaction loss with the invested unit is an asset impairment loss it shall be recognized in full.The Company’s net losses to joint ventures or joint ventures in addition to the obligation to bear additional

losses are limited to zero when the book value of long-term equity investments and other long-term interests

that substantially constitute net investments in joint ventures or joint ventures are reduced to zero. If the joint

venture or associated enterprise realizes net profit in the future the Company shall restore the recognition of the

profit share after the share of the profit makes up for the share of the unrecognized loss.

3) Disposal of long-term equity investment

For the disposal of long-term equity investment the difference between its book value and the actual acquisition

price shall be included in the current profit and loss.If part of the long-term equity investment accounted for by the equity method is disposed of and the remaining

equity is still accounted for by the equity method the other comprehensive income recognized by the original

equity method shall be carried forward on the same basis as the invested entity’s direct disposal of related assets

or liabilities and shall be carried forward in corresponding proportions changes in other owners' equity are

transferred to the current profit and loss in proportion.If the joint control or significant influence on the invested unit is lost due to the disposal of equity investment

and other reasons other comprehensive income recognized by the original equity investment due to the

adoption of equity method accounting when the equity method of accounting is terminated the accounting

treatment is carried out on the same basis as the investee directly disposing of related assets or liabilities and

other changes in owner's equity are all transferred to the current profit and loss when the equity method of

accounting is terminated.If the control over the invested unit is lost due to the disposal of part of the equity investment etc. when

preparing individual financial statements if the remaining equity can exercise joint control or significant

influence on the invested unit it shall be accounted for using the equity method. And the remaining equity is

deemed to be adjusted using the equity method since it is acquired and other comprehensive income recognized

before obtaining the control of the invested company is carried forward on the same basis as the invested

company's direct disposal of related assets or liabilities. Changes in other owners' equity due to the adoption of

equity method accounting and confirmation are carried forward to the current profit and loss in proportion; If

the remaining equity cannot exercise joint control or exert significant influence on the invested unit it is

recognized as a financial asset. The difference between the fair value and the book value on the date when the

control is lost is included in the current profit and loss and all other comprehensive income and other changes

in owner's equity recognized before obtaining the control of the invested entity are all carried forward.If the equity investment in a subsidiary is disposed of step by step through multiple transactions until the control

is lost if it belongs to a package deal each transaction shall be accounted for as a transaction for disposing of

the equity investment in the subsidiary and losing control; The difference between each disposal price before

the loss of control and the book value of the long-term equity investment corresponding to the disposed equity

99Bengang Steel Plates Co. Ltd. 2023 Semi-Annual Report

is first recognized as other comprehensive income in the individual financial statements. When the control right

is lost it will be transferred to the current profit and loss of the loss of control right. If it does not belong to a

package deal each transaction shall be accounted for separately.

14. Investment properties

Investment properties refers to properties held for the purpose of earning rent or capital appreciation or both

including leased land use rights land use rights held and prepared to be transferred after appreciation leased

buildings (Including buildings that are built for rent after self-construction or development activities are

completed and buildings that are in the process of being built or developed for future rent).Subsequent expenditures related to investment properties are included in the cost of investment properties when

the relevant economic benefits are likely to flow in and the cost can be measured reliably; otherwise they are

included in the current profit and loss when incurred.The Company adopts the cost model to measure the existing investment properties. The same depreciation

policy as the Company's fixed assets is adopted for the investment properties measured according to the cost

model - buildings for lease and the same amortization policy as for intangible assets is adopted for the land use

right for lease.

15. Fixed Assets

(1) Recognition criteria

Fixed assets refer to tangible assets that are held for the production of goods provision of labor services lease

or operation and management and have a useful life of more than one accounting year.Fixed assets are recognized when the following conditions are met at the same time: 1) The economic benefits

related to the fixed assets are probable to flow into the Company;

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

Fixed assets are initially measured at cost (and taking into account the impact of estimated disposal costs).Subsequent expenditures related to fixed assets are included in the cost of fixed assets when the related

economic benefits are likely to flow in and the cost can be reliably measured; for the replaced part its book

value is derecognized;

All other subsequent expenses are included in the current profit and loss when incurred.

100Bengang Steel Plates Co. Ltd. 2023 Semi-Annual Report

(2) Depreciation method

Category Depreciation method Depreciation period Scrap value rate Annual depreciation (years) (%) rate (%)

Property and plant Average Years Method 5 2.38% 40

Mechanical

equipment Average Years Method 5 3.96%-5.59% 17-24

Transport and other

equipment Average Years Method 5 7.92%-19.00% 5-12

The depreciation of fixed assets is classified and accrued using the average-year method and the depreciation

rate is determined according to the category of fixed assets estimated service life and estimated net residual

value rate. For fixed assets with provision for depreciation the depreciation amount will be determined

according to the book value after deduction of provision for depreciation and the remaining useful life in the

future period. If the service life of each component of the fixed asset is different or it provides economic

benefits to the Company in different ways different depreciation rates or depreciation methods should be

selected to accrue depreciation separately.

(3) Disposal of fixed assets

When a fixed asset is disposed of or it is not expected to generate economic benefits through use or disposal

the fixed asset is derecognized. The income from the sale transfer retirement or damage of fixed assets after

deducting their book value and related taxes and fees is included in the current profit and loss.

16. Construction in Progress

The cost of construction in progress is measured by the actual cost incurred. Actual costs include construction

costs installation costs borrowing costs eligible for capitalization and other necessary expenditures incurred

before the construction in progress reaches the intended usable state. When the construction in progress reaches

the intended usable state it will be transferred to fixed assets and depreciation will be accrued from the next

month.

17. Borrowing Costs

(1) Recognition principles for capitalization of borrowing costs

The borrowing expenses incurred by the Company which can be directly attributable to the purchase

construction or production of assets eligible for capitalization shall be capitalized and included in the cost of

relevant assets; other borrowing expenses shall be recognized as expenses based on the amount incurred when

they occur and shall be calculated and included in current profit and loss.

101Bengang Steel Plates Co. Ltd. 2023 Semi-Annual Report

Assets eligible for capitalization refer to assets such as fixed assets investment real estate and inventories that

require a long period of purchase construction or production activities to reach the intended usable or salable

state.

(2) Period of capitalization of borrowing costs

The capitalization period refers to the period from the start of capitalization of borrowing costs to the cessation

of capitalization excluding the period of suspension of capitalization of borrowing costs.Borrowing costs start to be capitalized when the following conditions are met at the same time:

1) Asset expenditures have occurred and asset expenditures include expenditures incurred in the form of cash

payments transfer of non-cash assets or assumption of interest-bearing debts for the purchase construction or

production of assets eligible for capitalization;

2) Borrowing costs have been incurred;

3) The acquisition construction or production activities necessary to make the asset ready for use or sale have

started.Capitalization of borrowing costs stops when the purchased constructed or produced assets eligible for

capitalization have reached the intended usable or salable state.

(3) Suspension of capitalization period

Capitalization of borrowing costs shall be suspended if the acquisition construction or production process of an

asset eligible for capitalization is interrupted abnormally and the interruption lasts for more than 3 months; If

the interruption is a necessary procedure for the purchased constructed or produced assets eligible for

capitalization to reach the intended usable state or salable state the borrowing costs will continue to be

capitalized. Borrowing costs incurred during the interruption period are recognized as current profit and loss

and the borrowing costs continue to be capitalized after the acquisition and construction of assets or production

activities resume.

(4) Calculation method of borrowing cost capitalization rate and capitalized amount

For special loans borrowed for the purchase construction or production of assets eligible for capitalization the

capitalized amount of borrowing costs is determined by the amount of the borrowing costs actually incurred in

the current period of the special borrowing minus the interest income obtained by depositing the unused

borrowing funds in the bank or the investment income obtained from the temporary investment.For general borrowings used for the acquisition construction or production of assets eligible for capitalization

calculate and determine the amount of borrowing costs that should be capitalized for general borrowings by

multiplying the weighted average of asset expenditures that exceed the portion of special borrowings multiplied

by the capitalization rate of general borrowings. The capitalization rate is determined based on the weighted

average actual interest rate of general borrowings.

102Bengang Steel Plates Co. Ltd. 2023 Semi-Annual Report

During the capitalization period the exchange difference between the principal and interest of foreign currency

special loans shall be capitalized and included in the cost of assets eligible for capitalization. The exchange

difference arising from the principal and interest of other foreign currency loans other than foreign currency

special loans is included in the current profit and loss.

18. Intangible Assets

(1) Measurement method useful life impairment test

A. Valuation method of intangible assets

1) Initially measured at cost when the Company acquires intangible assets

The cost of purchased intangible assets includes the purchase price relevant taxes and other expenditures that

are directly attributable to making the asset reach its intended use.

2) Subsequent measurement

When acquiring intangible assets analyze and judge their service life.For intangible assets with limited service life they are amortized within the period of bringing economic

benefits to the enterprise; if the period of intangible assets bringing economic benefits to the enterprise cannot

be foreseen they are regarded as intangible assets with indefinite service life and shall not be amortized.B. Estimated useful life of intangible assets with limited useful life

Item Expected useful Basis for expected life Amortization method Residual rate useful life

Land use rights 50 years Average age method 0 Land use right certificate

C. Judgment basis for intangible assets with indefinite useful life and procedures for reviewing their

useful life

As of the end of the reporting period the Company had no intangible assets with indefinite useful life.

(2) Accounting policy for internal research and development expenditures

A. Specific criteria for dividing the research phase and development phase

The Company's internal research and development project expenditures are divided into research phase

expenditures and development phase expenditures.Research phase: The phase of original planned investigation and research activities to acquire and understand

new scientific or technical knowledge etc.

103Bengang Steel Plates Co. Ltd. 2023 Semi-Annual Report

Development stage: Before commercial production or use research results or other knowledge are applied to a

certain plan or design to produce new or substantially improved materials devices products etc.B. Development phase expenditures qualify for capitalization specific conditions

Expenditures in the research stage are included in the current profit and loss when incurred. Expenditures in the

development stage that meet the following conditions at the same time are recognized as intangible assets and

expenditures in the development stage that cannot meet the following conditions are included in the current

profit and loss:

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

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

3) The way intangible assets generate economic benefits including the ability to prove that there is a market for

the products produced by using the intangible asset or the intangible asset itself has a market and if the

intangible asset will be used internally it can prove its usefulness;

4) Have sufficient technical financial and other resource support to complete the development of the intangible

asset and have the ability to use or sell the intangible asset;

5) The expenditure attributable to the development stage of the intangible asset can be reliably measured.

19. Impairment of Long-term Assets

For long-term equity investment investment real estate measured by the cost model fixed assets construction

in progress right-of-use assets intangible assets with limited service life oil and gas assets and other long-term

assets if there is any sign of impairment on the balance sheet date an impairment test is required. If the results

of the impairment test show that the recoverable amount of the asset is lower than its book value the difference

shall be recognized as an impairment provision and included in the impairment loss. The recoverable amount is

the higher of the net amount of the asset's fair value minus disposal costs and the present value of the estimated

future cash flow of the asset. Asset impairment provision is calculated and confirmed on the basis of individual

assets. If it is difficult to estimate the recoverable amount of a single asset the recoverable amount of the asset

group is determined based on the asset group to which the asset belongs. An asset group is the smallest

combination of assets that can independently generate cash inflows.For goodwill formed by business combination intangible assets with indefinite useful life and intangible assets

that have not yet reached the usable state regardless of whether there is any sign of impairment an impairment

test shall be conducted at least at the end of each year.The Company carries out the goodwill impairment test and the book value of the goodwill formed by the

business combination shall be apportioned to the relevant asset groups according to a reasonable method from

the date of purchase. If it is difficult to allocate to the relevant asset group it shall be allocated to the relevant

asset group combination. The related asset group or asset group combination is the asset group or asset group

combination that can benefit from the synergistic effect of the business combination.

104Bengang Steel Plates Co. Ltd. 2023 Semi-Annual Report

When performing an impairment test on the relevant asset group or combination of asset groups containing

goodwill if there is any sign of impairment in the asset group or combination of asset groups related to

goodwill first perform an impairment test on the asset group or combination of asset groups that does not

contain goodwill calculate the recoverable amount and compare it with the relevant book value to confirm the

corresponding impairment loss. Then conduct an impairment test on the asset group or asset group combination

containing goodwill compare its book value with the recoverable amount if the recoverable amount is lower

than the book value the amount of the impairment loss shall first be deducted from the book value of the

goodwill apportioned to the asset group or asset group combination then according to the proportion of the

book value of other assets except goodwill in the asset group or asset group combination the book value of

other assets shall be offset in proportion. Once the above asset impairment loss is confirmed it will not be

reversed in the subsequent accounting period.

20. Long-term Deferred Expenses

Long-term deferred expenses refer to various expenses that have occurred but should be borne by the current

and subsequent periods with an amortization period of more than one year.Long-term deferred expenses are amortized evenly during the beneficiary period.

21. Contract Liabilities

The Company presents contract assets or contract liabilities in the balance sheet according to the relationship

between performance obligations and customer payments. The Company has received or receivable the

customer's consideration and the obligation to transfer goods or provide services to the customer is listed as

contract liabilities. Contract assets and contract liabilities under the same contract are presented on a net basis.

22. Employee Benefits

(1) Accounting treatment of short-term employee benefits

During the accounting period when employees provide services to the Company the Company recognizes the

actual short-term remuneration as a liability and includes it in the current profit and loss or related asset costs.The social insurance premiums and housing provident funds paid by the Company for employees as well as

labor union funds and employee education funds drawn according to regulations are paid according to

regulations during the accounting period when employees provide services to the Company. The accrual basis

and accrual ratio are calculated to determine the corresponding amount of employee remuneration.The employee welfare expenses incurred by the Company are included in the current profit and loss or the cost

of related assets according to the actual amount when they actually occur. Among them non-monetary benefits

are measured at fair value.

105Bengang Steel Plates Co. Ltd. 2023 Semi-Annual Report

(2) Accounting treatment of post-employment benefits

1) Defined contribution plans

The Company pays the basic endowment insurance and unemployment insurance for employees according to

the relevant regulations of the local government. During the accounting period when the employees provide

services to the Company the amount payable is calculated according to the payment base and proportion

stipulated by the local government recognized as liabilities and included in current profit or loss or related

asset cost. In addition the Company also participates in the enterprise annuity plan/supplementary pension

insurance fund approved by the relevant state departments. The Company pays premiums to the annuity

plan/local social insurance agency according to a certain percentage of the total salary of employees and the

corresponding expenditure is included in the current profit and loss or the cost of related assets.

2) Defined benefit plans

The Company has no defined benefit plan.

(3) Accounting treatment of termination benefits

If the Company provides termination benefits to employees the employee salary liabilities arising from the

termination benefits shall be recognized on the earlier of the following two dates and included in the current

profit and loss: when the Company cannot unilaterally withdraw the termination benefits provided due to the

termination of labor relationship plans or layoff proposals; when the Company recognizes costs or expenses

associated with a restructuring involving the payment of termination benefits.

23. Provisions

When the obligations related to contingencies meet the following conditions at the same time the Company will

recognize them as provision:

1) The obligation is a present obligation of the Company;

2) It is probable that the performance of the obligation will result in an outflow of economic benefits from the

Company;

3) The amount of the obligation can be measured reliably.

Estimated liabilities are initially measured based on the best estimate of the expenditure required to fulfill the

relevant current obligations.

106Bengang Steel Plates Co. Ltd. 2023 Semi-Annual Report

When determining the best estimate factors such as risks uncertainties and time value of money related to

contingencies shall be considered comprehensively. If the time value of money has a significant impact the best

estimate is determined after discounting the relevant future cash outflows.If there is a continuous range of required expenditures and the possibility of occurrence of various outcomes

within this range is the same the best estimate shall be determined according to the median value within the

range; in other cases the best estimate shall be dealt with in the following situations:

* If a contingency involves a single item it shall be determined according to the most likely amount;

* If a contingency involves multiple projects it shall be calculated and determined according to various

possible results and related probabilities.If all or part of the expenditure required to pay off the estimated liability is expected to be compensated by a

third party the compensation amount shall be recognized as an asset separately when it is basically confirmed

that it can be received and the confirmed compensation amount shall not exceed the book value of the

estimated liability.The Company shall review the book value of estimated liabilities on the balance sheet date. If there is

conclusive evidence that the book value cannot reflect the current best estimate the book value shall be adjusted

according to the current best estimate.

24. Revenue

(1) Accounting policies adopted for revenue recognition and measurement

The Company recognizes revenue when the Company fulfills the performance obligations in the contract that is

when the customer obtains control over the relevant goods or services. Obtaining the right to control the

relevant goods or services refers to being able to dominate the use of the goods or services and obtain almost all

economic benefits from them.If the contract contains two or more performance obligations the Company will allocate the transaction price to

each individual performance obligation in accordance with the relative proportion of the stand-alone selling

price of the goods or services promised by each individual performance obligation on the inception date of the

contract. The Company measures revenue based on the transaction price allocated to each individual

performance obligation.The transaction price refers to the amount of consideration to which the Company is expected to be entitled for

the transfer of goods or services to the customer excluding amounts collected on behalf of third parties and

amounts expected to be refunded to the customer. The Company determines the transaction price in accordance

with the terms of the contract and in combination with its previous practices and when determining the

transaction price it takes into account the influence of factors such as variable consideration significant

financing components in the contract non-cash consideration and consideration payable to customers. The

Company determines the transaction price including the variable consideration at an amount that does not

exceed the amount that the accumulated recognized revenue is unlikely to be significantly reversed when the

107Bengang Steel Plates Co. Ltd. 2023 Semi-Annual Report

relevant uncertainties are eliminated. If there is a significant financing component in the contract the Company

determines the transaction price based on the amount payable in cash when the customer obtains the control of

the goods or services and uses the actual interest rate method to amortize the difference between the transaction

price and the contract consideration during the contract period.If one of the following conditions is met the performance obligation shall be fulfilled within a certain period of

time; otherwise the performance obligation shall be fulfilled at a certain point in time:

*The customer obtains and consumes the economic benefits brought by the Company's performance at the same

time as the Company's performance of the contract.*The customer is able to control the goods under construction during the Company's performance.*The goods produced by the Company during the performance of the contract have irreplaceable uses and the

Company has the right to collect payment for the performance part that has been completed so far during the

entire contract period.For performance obligations fulfilled within a certain period of time the Company recognizes revenue

according to the progress of the performance within that period of time except that the progress of the

performance of the contract cannot be reasonably determined. The Company considers the nature of the goods

or services and adopts the output method or input method to determine the performance progress. When the

performance progress cannot be reasonably determined and the incurred costs are expected to be compensated

the Company shall recognize the revenue according to the incurred cost amount until the performance progress

can be reasonably determined.For performance obligations fulfilled at a certain point in time the Company recognizes revenue at the point in

time when the customer obtains control over the relevant goods or services. When judging whether the

customer has obtained control of the goods or services the Company considers the following signs:

* The Company has the current right to receive payment for the goods or services that is the customer has a

current payment obligation for the goods or services.* The Company has transferred the legal title to the product to the customer that is the customer already has

the legal title to the product.* The Company has transferred the product to the customer in kind that is the customer has taken

possession of the product in kind.* The Company has transferred the main risks and rewards of the ownership of the commodity to the

customer that is the customer has obtained the main risks and rewards of the ownership of the commodity.* The customer has accepted the good or service etc.Contracts for the sale of goods between companies and customers often contain only performance obligations

for the transfer of goods or services such as steel. Such performance obligations are performance obligations

performed at a certain point in time and the Company recognizes revenue at the point in time when the

108Bengang Steel Plates Co. Ltd. 2023 Semi-Annual Report

customer obtains control over the relevant goods or services. When judging whether the customer has obtained

control of the goods or services the Company considers the following signs: the Company obtains the current

right to collect the goods the legal ownership of the goods is transferred to the customer the physical assets of

the goods are transferred to the customer the Company transfers the main risks and rewards of the ownership of

the goods to the customer and the customer has accepted the goods.

25. Government Grants

(1) Categories

Government grants are monetary assets or non-monetary assets obtained by the Company from the government

for free. It is divided into government grants related to assets and government grants related to income.Asset-related government grants refer to government grants obtained by the Company for purchase and

construction or to form long-term assets in other ways. Government grants related to income refer to

government grants other than government grants related to assets.The Company classifies government grants as assets-related specific criteria: government grants obtained by the

enterprise and used to purchase and construct or form long-term assets in other ways.The specific criteria for the Company to classify government grants as income-related are: government grants

with specified grant targets other than asset-related government grants.For government documents that do not clearly specify the grants object the Company's judgment basis for

classifying the government grants as asset-related or income-related is as follows: for those that can form long-

term assets the part of the government grants corresponding to the asset value shall be regarded as the

government grants related to assets and the rest shall be regarded as the government grants related to income; if

it is difficult to distinguish the government grants as a whole shall be regarded as the government grants related

to income.

(2) Timing of recognition

The Company's asset-related government grants are recognized when the government grants are actually

received and the deferred income is evenly amortized and transferred to the current profit and loss according to

the expected service life of the long-term assets from the time the long-term assets are available for use.The Company’s government grants related to income are recognized at the following points: if the government

grants are actually received and used to compensate the Company’s related expenses or losses in the future it

will be included in the current non-operating income during the period when the relevant expenses are

confirmed; if it is used to compensate the relevant expenses or losses incurred by the Company it shall be

directly included in the non-operating income of the current period when it is obtained.

109Bengang Steel Plates Co. Ltd. 2023 Semi-Annual Report

(3) Accounting treatment

Government grants related to assets are offset against the book value of related assets or recognized as deferred

income. If it is recognized as deferred income it shall be included in the current profit and loss in stages in a

reasonable and systematic manner within the useful life of the relevant assets (if it is related to the Company's

ordinary activities it will be included in other income; if it is not related to the Company's ordinary activities it

will be included in non-operating income).Government grants related to income which are used to compensate the relevant costs or losses of the

enterprise in the future period shall be recognized as deferred income and shall be included in the current profit

and loss during the period when the relevant costs or losses are recognized (if it is related to the Company's

ordinary activities it will be included in other income; if it is not related to the Company's ordinary activities it

will be included in non-operating income) or offset related costs or losses; If it is used to compensate the

relevant costs or losses incurred by the Company it shall be directly included in the current profit and loss (if it

is related to the Company's ordinary activities it will be included in other income; if it is not related to the

Company's ordinary activities it will be included in non-operating income) or offset related costs or losses.The policy-based preferential loan interest discount obtained by the Company is divided into the following two

situations and the accounting treatment is carried out separately:

1) If the finance department allocates interest discount funds to the lending bank and the lending bank provides

loans to the Company at a preferential policy rate the Company takes the actual amount of the loan received as

the entry value of the loan and calculates it based on the principal of the loan and the policy preferential rate

related borrowing costs.

2) If the finance department directly allocates the interest discount funds to the Company the Company will

offset the corresponding borrowing costs with the corresponding discount interest.

26. Deferred Tax Assets / Deferred Tax Liabilities

Income tax includes current income tax and deferred tax. Except for the income tax arising from business

mergers and transactions or events that are directly included in owner's equity (including other comprehensive

income) the Company includes current income tax and deferred tax in current profit and loss.Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are calculated and recognized based on the difference (temporary

difference) between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their book value.Deferred tax assets recognized for deductible temporary differences shall be limited to the amount of taxable

income that is likely to be obtained in the future to offset the deductible temporary differences. For the

deductible losses and tax credits that can be carried forward to the following years the corresponding deferred

tax assets are recognized within the limit of the future taxable income that is likely to be used to offset the

deductible losses and tax credits .For taxable temporary differences except for special circumstances deferred income tax liabilities are

recognized.

110Bengang Steel Plates Co. Ltd. 2023 Semi-Annual Report

The special circumstances that do not recognize deferred tax assets or deferred tax liabilities include:

* Initial recognition of goodwill;

* Transactions or events that are neither business combinations nor affect accounting profits and taxable

income (or deductible losses) when they occur.For taxable temporary differences related to investments in associates and joint ventures deferred tax liabilities

are recognized unless the Company is able to control the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference and

the temporary difference is likely not to be transferred back in the foreseeable future. For the deductible

temporary difference related to the investment in associates and joint ventures when the temporary difference is

likely to be reversed in the foreseeable future and the taxable income used to offset the deductible temporary

difference is likely to be obtained in the future the deferred tax assets are recognized.On the balance sheet date the deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities shall be measured at the applicable

tax rate during the period when the relevant assets are expected to be recovered or the relevant liabilities are

expected to be paid off in accordance with the provisions of the tax law.On the balance sheet date the Company reviews the book value of the deferred tax assets. If it is likely that

sufficient taxable income will not be obtained in the future to offset the benefits of the deferred tax asset the

book value of the deferred tax asset shall be written down. When it is probable that sufficient taxable income

will be obtained the reduced amount shall be reversed.When there is a legal right to settle on a net basis and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to obtain

assets and pay off liabilities simultaneously the current income tax assets and current income tax liabilities are

presented as the net amount after offsetting.On the balance sheet date the deferred income tax assets and deferred income tax liabilities are presented as the

net amount after offsetting when the following conditions are met at the same time:

* The taxpayer has the legal right to settle the current income tax assets and current income tax liabilities on

a net basis;

* Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are related to the income tax levied on the same taxpayer by

the same tax collection authority or to different taxpayers but each important deferred tax asset and liability

will be reversed in the future the taxpayers involved intend to settle the current income tax assets and liabilities

on a net basis or acquire assets and pay off liabilities at the same time.

111Bengang Steel Plates Co. Ltd. 2023 Semi-Annual Report

27. Leases

(1) Accounting Treatment for Operating Leases

Accounting Policy from 1 January 2021

* Lease refers to a contract in which the lessor transfers the right to use an asset to the lessee for

consideration within a certain period of time. On the inception date of the contract the Company

assesses whether the contract is or contains a lease. A contract is or contains a lease if one party to the

contract transfers the right to control the use of one or more identified assets for a period of time in

exchange for consideration.* If the contract contains multiple separate leases at the same time the Company will split the contract

and conduct accounting treatment for each separate lease separately. If the contract contains both lease

and non-lease parts the lessee and lessor will separate the lease and non-lease parts.* For rental concessions such as rent reductions deferred payments etc. directly caused by the COVID-

19 Epidemic the Company adopts a simplified method for all lease options and does not evaluate

whether there is a lease change and lease classification will not be reassessed if the following

conditions are met at the same time:

* The lease consideration after the concession is reduced or basically unchanged from that before the

concession and the lease consideration can be undiscounted or discounted at the discount rate before

the concession;

* The concession is only for the lease payments payable before 30 June 30 2022. An increase in the lease

payments payable after 30 June 2022 does not affect the fulfillment of this condition and a decrease in

the lease payments payable after 30 June 30 2022 does not meet this condition;

* After comprehensive consideration of qualitative and quantitative factors it is determined that there is

no significant change in other terms and conditions of the lease.

1) The Company acts as the lessee

* Right-of-use assets

On the commencement date of the lease term the Company recognizes right-of-use assets for leases other than

short-term leases and low-value asset leases. Right-of-use assets are initially measured at cost. This cost

includes:

* The initial measurement amount of the lease liability;

* For the lease payment paid on or before the start date of the lease term if there is a lease incentive the

relevant amount of the lease incentive already enjoyed shall be deducted;

* Initial direct costs incurred by the Company;

* The cost expected to be incurred by the Company for dismantling and removing the leased asset

restoring the site where the leased asset is located or restoring the leased asset to the state stipulated in

the lease terms. However costs incurred for the production of inventories are not included.

112Bengang Steel Plates Co. Ltd. 2023 Semi-Annual Report

The Company subsequently adopts the straight-line method to depreciate the right-of-use assets. If it can be

reasonably determined that the ownership of the leased asset will be obtained when the lease term expires the

Company shall accrue depreciation within the remaining useful life of the leased asset. Otherwise the leased

asset is depreciated over the shorter period of the lease term or the remaining useful life of the leased asset

The company determines whether the right-of-use asset has been impaired in accordance with the principles

stated in “V. (19) Impairment of Long-term Assets” in this note and conducts accounting treatment for the

identified impairment loss.* Lease liability

On the commencement date of the lease term the Company recognizes lease liabilities for leases other than

short-term leases and low-value asset leases. The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the

unpaid lease payments. Lease payments include:

* Fixed payments (including substantive fixed payments) if there is a lease incentive deduct the relevant

amount of the lease incentive;

* Variable lease payments that depend on an index or rate;

* The amount expected to be paid according to the residual value of the guarantee provided by the

Company;

* The exercise price of the option to purchase if the Company is reasonably certain that the option will

be exercised;

* Amounts payable for exercising the option to terminate the lease provided the term of the lease reflects

the exercise of the option to terminate the lease.The Company uses the lease implicit interest rate as the discount rate but if the lease implicit interest rate

cannot be reasonably determined the Company's incremental borrowing rate is used as the discount rate.The Company calculates the interest expense of the lease liability in each period of the lease period according to

the fixed periodic interest rate and includes it in the current profit and loss or the cost of related assets.Variable lease payments that are not included in the measurement of lease liabilities are included in current

profit or loss or related asset costs when they actually occur. After the start date of the lease term if the

following circumstances occur the Company will remeasure the lease liability and adjust the corresponding

right-of-use asset. If the book value of the right-of-use asset has been reduced to zero but the lease liability still

needs to be further reduced the difference is included in the current profit and loss:

* When the evaluation results of the purchase option lease renewal option or termination option change

or the actual exercise of the aforementioned options is inconsistent with the original evaluation results

the Company will use the lease payment amount after the change and the revised discount rate to

calculate the present value and remeasure the lease liability;

* When the actual fixed payment amount changes the estimated payable amount of the residual value of

the guarantee changes or the index or ratio used to determine the lease payment changes the Company

recalculates the present value based on the changed lease payment amount and the original discount

113Bengang Steel Plates Co. Ltd. 2023 Semi-Annual Report

rate and measure the lease liability. However where changes in lease payments arise from changes in

floating interest rates a revised discount rate is used to calculate the present value.* Short-term leases and leases of low-value assets

The Company chooses not to recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for short-term leases and low-

value asset leases and includes the relevant lease payments in the current profit and loss or related asset costs

on a straight-line basis during each period of the lease term. Short-term lease refers to a lease with a lease term

of no more than 12 months on the commencement date of the lease term and does not include the option to

purchase. Lease of low-value assets refers to a lease with a relatively low value when the single leased asset is a

brand new asset. Where a company subleases or expects to sublease leased assets the original lease does not

belong to low-value asset leases.* Lease change

If the lease is changed and the following conditions are met at the same time the Company will account for the

lease change as a separate lease:

* The lease modification expands the scope of the lease by increasing the use rights of one or more

leased assets;

* The increased consideration is equal to the individual price of the extended part of the leased scope

after adjustment according to the conditions of the contract.If the lease change is not accounted for as a separate lease on the effective date of the lease change the

Company re-allocates the consideration of the changed contract re-determines the lease term and calculates the

cash value based on the changed lease payment and the revised discount rate to remeasure the lease liability.If the change of the lease results in a reduction in the scope of the lease or a shortening of the lease term the

Company shall reduce the book value of the right-of-use asset accordingly and include the relevant gains or

losses related to the partial or complete termination of the lease in the current profit and loss. If other lease

changes lead to the remeasurement of lease liabilities the Company shall adjust the book value of the right-of-

use asset accordingly.* Rent concessions related to COVID-19 epidemic

For those who adopt the simplified method of rent reduction related to the COVID-19 epidemic the Company

will not evaluate whether there is a lease change and continue to calculate the interest expense of the lease

liability at the same discount rate as before the reduction and include it in the current profit and loss. The right-

of-use asset is depreciated in the same way as before. In the event of rent reduction or exemption the Company

will use the reduced or exempt rent as the variable lease payment and when the original rent payment

obligation is terminated by reaching a reduction agreement the discounted amount at the undiscounted or pre-

reduction discount rate will be used to offset the cost of the relevant assets or expenses and adjust the lease

liabilities accordingly; if the rent payment is deferred the Company will offset the lease liabilities recognized in

the previous period when the actual payment is made.

114Bengang Steel Plates Co. Ltd. 2023 Semi-Annual Report

For short-term leases and leases of low-value assets the Company will continue to include the original contract

rent in the cost or expense of the relevant assets in the same way as before the reduction. In case of rent

reduction or exemption the Company will use the reduced rent as the variable lease payment and offset the

cost or expenses of related assets during the reduction or exemption period. The payables confirmed in the

previous period are deducted when the actual payment is made.

2) The Company acts as the lessor

On the commencement date of the lease the Company classifies leases into finance leases and operating leases.Finance lease refers to a lease that substantially transfers almost all the risks and rewards related to the

ownership of the leased asset regardless of whether the ownership is ultimately transferred. Operating leases

refer to leases other than finance leases. When the Company acts as the lessor of the sublease it classifies the

sublease based on the right-of-use assets arising from the original lease.Accounting for operating lease

The lease receipts from operating leases are recognized as rental income on a straight-line basis during each

period of the lease term. The Company capitalizes the initial direct expenses related to operating leases and

amortizes them in the current profit and loss on the same basis as the recognition of rental income during the

lease period. Variable lease payments not included in lease receipts are included in current profit or loss when

actually incurred. If the operating lease is changed the Company will take it as a new lease for accounting

treatment from the effective date of the change and the pre-receipt or receivable lease receipts related to the

lease before the change will be regarded as the receipts of the new lease.

(2) Accounting Treatment of Finance Lease

1) Accounting treatment of finance lease

On the commencement date of the lease the Company recognizes the finance lease receivable for the finance

lease and derecognizes the finance lease assets. When the Company initially measures the receivable finance

lease it takes the net lease investment as the entry value of the finance lease receivable. The net lease

investment is the sum of the unguaranteed residual value and the present value of the unreceived lease receipts

at the commencement date of the lease period discounted at the interest rate implicit in the lease.The Company calculates and recognizes the interest income in each period of the lease term according to the

fixed periodic interest rate. The derecognition and impairment of finance lease receivables shall be accounted

for in accordance with “V.10 Financial Instruments” in this note.Variable lease payments that are not included in the measurement of net lease investment are included in

current profit or loss when they actually occur.If the financial lease is changed and meets the following conditions at the same time the Company shall treat

the change as a separate lease for accounting treatment:

* The change expands the scope of the lease by adding the right to use one or more of the leased assets;

115Bengang Steel Plates Co. Ltd. 2023 Semi-Annual Report

* The increased consideration is equal to the individual price of the expanded part of the leased scope after

adjustment according to the conditions of the contract.If the modification of the financial lease is not accounted for as a separate lease the Company handles the

modified lease according to the following circumstances:

* If the change takes effect on the lease commencement date the lease will be classified as an operating

lease and the Company will account for it as a new lease from the lease change effective date and the

lease investment net amount before the lease change becomes effective as the lease the book value of the

asset;

* If the change takes effect on the lease commencement date the lease will be classified as a finance lease

and the Company will conduct accounting treatment in accordance with the policy on modifying or

renegotiating the contract in “V.10 Financial Instruments” in this note.

2) Rent concessions related to COVID-19 Epidemic

* For operating leases that adopt the simplified method of rent reduction related to the COVID-19 Epidemic

the Company will continue to recognize the original contract rent as lease income in accordance with the

method before the reduction. The amount of payment shall be offset against the rental income during the

reduction or exemption period; if the rent is deferred the Company shall recognize the rent payable as an

account receivable during the original collection period and offset the previously confirmed account

receivable when it is actually received.* For financial leases that adopt the simplified method of rental concessions related to the COVID-19

epidemic the Company continues to calculate interest at the same discount rate as before the concession

and recognize it as lease income. In the event of rent reduction or exemption the Company will use the

reduced or exempt rent as the variable lease payment and when the right to collect the original rent is

waived after reaching a concession agreement the discounted amount at the undiscounted or pre-reduction

discount rate will offset the originally recognized lease income the part that is not enough to be offset is

included in investment income and the financial lease receivables are adjusted accordingly; if the rent is

deferred the Company will offset the financial lease receivables confirmed in the previous period when it

is actually received.

(3) Sale and leaseback transactions

The Company evaluates and determines whether the asset transfer in the sale and leaseback transaction is a sale

in accordance with the principles stated in “V.24 Revenue” in this note.

1) As lessee

If the asset transfer in the sale-and-leaseback transaction is a sale the Company as the lessee measures the

right-of-use asset formed by the sale-and-leaseback based on the part of the book value of the original asset

related to the right to use acquired by the leaseback and recognize the relevant gain or loss only for the rights

assigned to the lessor; If the asset transfer in the sale-and-leaseback transaction is not a sale the Company as

116Bengang Steel Plates Co. Ltd. 2023 Semi-Annual Report

the lessee shall continue to recognize the transferred asset and at the same time recognize a financial liabilityequal to the transfer income. For the accounting treatment of financial liabilities please refer to “V.10 FinancialInstruments" in this note.

2) As lessor

If the asset transfer in the sale-and-leaseback transaction is a sale the Company as the lessor conducts

accounting treatment for the asset purchase and conducts accounting treatment for the asset lease in accordance

with the policy of "2. The Company as the lessor; If the transfer of assets in a sale-and-leaseback transaction is

not a sale the Company as the lessor does not recognize the transferred asset but recognizes a financial assetequal to the transfer income. For the accounting treatment of financial assets please refer to “V.10 FinancialInstruments” in this note.Accounting Policies Before January 1 2021

Leases are divided into finance leases and operating leases. A financial lease is a lease that substantially

transfers all the risks and rewards associated with ownership of an asset. Operating leases are leases other than

finance leases.For rental concessions such as rent reductions and deferred payments that are directly triggered by the new

crown pneumonia epidemic and reached on existing lease contracts if the following conditions are met at the

same time the Company applies the simplified approach to all lease options and does not assess whether a lease

modification has occurred or reassess lease classification:

* The lease consideration after the concession is reduced or basically unchanged from that before the

concession and the lease consideration can be undiscounted or discounted at the discount rate before

the concession;

* The concession is only for the lease payments payable before June 30 2021. An increase in the lease

payments payable after June 30 2021 does not affect the fulfillment of this condition and a decrease in

the lease payments payable after June 30 2021 does not meet the condition; and

* After comprehensive consideration of qualitative and quantitative factors it is determined that there is

no significant change in other terms and conditions of the lease.

1) Accounting for operating leases

* The lease fee paid by the Company for leased assets shall be amortized on a straight-line basis during the

entire lease period without deducting the rent-free period and included in current expenses. The initial direct

expenses paid by the Company related to the leasing transaction shall be included in the current expenses.When the asset lessor bears the lease-related expenses that should be borne by the Company the Company

deducts this part of the expenses from the total rent and the deducted rent expenses are apportioned during the

lease period and included in the current expenses.For operating leases that adopt the simplified method of rental concessions related to the COVID-19 epidemic

the Company will continue to include the original contract rents in the relevant asset costs or expenses in

117Bengang Steel Plates Co. Ltd. 2023 Semi-Annual Report

accordance with the same method as before the concessions. In the event of rent reduction or exemption the

Company will take the reduced rent as contingent rent and include it in profit or loss during the reduction or

exemption period. If the payment of rent is postponed the Company will recognize the payable rent as an

account payable during the original payment period and offset the payable account recognized in the previous

period when the actual payment is made.* The lease fees collected by the Company for leasing assets shall be amortized on a straight-line basis over

the entire lease period without deducting the rent-free period and shall be recognized as lease-related income.The initial direct expenses paid by the Company related to leasing transactions are included in the current

expenses; if the amount is relatively large they are capitalized and included in the current income in stages on

the same basis as the recognition of lease-related income throughout the lease period.When the Company bears the lease-related expenses that should be borne by the lessee the Company deducts

this part of the expenses from the total rental income and distributes the deducted rental expenses during the

lease period. For operating leases that adopt the simplified method of rent reduction related to the new crown

pneumonia epidemic the Company will continue to recognize the original contract rent as lease income in

accordance with the same method as before the reduction; In the event of rent reduction or exemption the

Company will use the reduced or reduced rent as contingent rent and offset the rental income during the

reduction or exemption period;

If the collection of rent is postponed the Company will recognize the rent payable as an account receivable

during the original collection period and offset the account receivable confirmed in the previous period when it

is actually received.

2) Accounting for finance leases

* Finance leased assets: On the date of commencement of the lease the Company takes the lower of the fair

value of the leased asset and the present value of the minimum lease payment as the entry value of the leased

asset and takes the minimum lease payment as the entry value of the long-term payables the difference is

regarded as unrecognized financing expenses. The Company uses the actual interest rate method to amortize

unrecognized financing expenses during the asset lease period and include them in financial expenses. The

initial direct expenses incurred by the Company shall be included in the value of leased assets.For financial leases that adopt the simplified method of rental concessions related to the new crown pneumonia

epidemic the Company will continue to recognize unrecognized financing expenses as current financing

expenses at the same discount rate as before the reduction continue to depreciate the financial leased assets in

accordance with the same method as before the concession. For the rent reduction or exemption the Company

regards the rent reduction or exemption as the contingent rent when the original rent payment obligation is

terminated by reaching a concession agreement it will be included in the current profit and loss and the long-

term payables will be adjusted accordingly or it will be discounted according to the pre-reduction discount rate

and included in the current profit and loss and the unrecognized financing expenses will be adjusted; if the rent

payment is deferred the Company will offset the long-term payables confirmed in the previous period when the

actual payment is made.

118Bengang Steel Plates Co. Ltd. 2023 Semi-Annual Report

* Assets leased out by finance: On the lease commencement date the Company recognizes the difference

between the sum of the receivable finance lease the unguaranteed residual value and its present value as

unrealized financing income and recognizes it as lease income in each period when rent is received in the

future. The initial direct expenses incurred by the Company related to the leasing transaction shall be included

in the initial measurement of finance lease receivables and the amount of income recognized during the lease

period shall be reduced. For financial leases that adopt the simplified method of rental concessions related to the

COVID-19 epidemic the Company will continue to recognize unrealized financing income as lease income at

the same lease implicit interest rate as before the concessions. In the event of rent reduction or exemption the

Company will use the reduced rent as contingent rent when reaching a concession agreement or giving up the

right to collect the original rent the originally recognized rental income will be offset and the part not offset

will be included in investment income and the long-term receivables will be adjusted accordingly or it will be

discounted according to the pre-reduction discount rate and included in the current profit and loss and adjust the

unrealized financing income; if the rent is deferred the Company will offset the long-term receivables

confirmed in the previous period when the actual receipt is actually received.

28. Other Important Accounting Policies and Accounting Estimates

When preparing financial statements the Company's management needs to use estimates and assumptions

which will affect the application of accounting policies and the amount of assets liabilities income and

expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates. The management of the Company conducts

continuous evaluation on the key assumptions and uncertain factors involved in the estimation and the impact

of changes in accounting estimates is confirmed in the current and future periods of the changes.The main uncertain factors of the estimated amount are as follows:

(1) Measurement of expected credit losses

The Company calculates expected credit losses through default risk exposure and expected credit loss rate and

determines expected credit loss rate based on default probability and default loss rate. When determining the

expected credit loss rate the Company uses data such as internal historical credit loss experience and adjusts

historical data in combination with current conditions and forward-looking information. In considering forward-

looking information the Company uses indicators including the risk of economic downturn the expected

increase in the unemployment rate changes in the external market environment technological environment and

customer conditions etc. The Company regularly monitors and reviews assumptions related to the calculation

of expected credit losses.

(2) Provision for price of inventory decline

As mentioned in “V. (11) Inventories” in this note the Company regularly estimates the net realizable value of

the inventory and recognizes the loss for price of inventory decline for the difference between the inventory

cost and the net realizable value. When estimating the net realizable value of inventories the Company

considers the purpose of holding the inventories and uses the available information as the basis for the

estimation including the market price of the inventories and the Company's past operating costs. The actual

selling price cost of completion sales expenses and taxes of inventories may change with changes in market

sales conditions production technology or actual use of inventories so the amount of provision for price of

119Bengang Steel Plates Co. Ltd. 2023 Semi-Annual Report

inventory decline may change due to the above reasons. The adjustment to the provision for price of inventory

decline will affect the profit and loss of the period when the estimate is changed.

(3) Impairment of assets other than inventories and financial assetsAs described in “V. (19) Impairment of Long-term Assets" in this note the Company conducts impairmentassessment on assets other than inventories and financial assets on the balance sheet date to determine whether

the recoverable amount of the asset has fallen below its book value. Where circumstances indicate that the

carrying amount of a long-term asset may not be recoverable in full the asset is considered to be impaired and

an impairment loss is recognized accordingly.The recoverable amount is the higher of the net amount of the fair value of the asset (or asset group) minus the

disposal costs and the present value of the expected future cash flow of the asset (or asset group). Because the

Company cannot reliably obtain the public market price of the asset (or asset group) and cannot reliably and

accurately estimate the fair value of the asset. Therefore the Company regards the present value of estimated

future cash flow as the recoverable amount. When estimating the present value of future cash flows it is

necessary to make major judgments on the output selling price related operating costs and discount rate used

in calculating the present value of the asset (or asset group). When estimating the recoverable amount the

Company will use all available relevant information including the prediction of production selling price and

related operating costs based on reasonable and supportable assumptions.

(4) Depreciation and amortization of assets such as fixed assets and intangible assets

As described in “V. (15) Fixed Assets” and “V. (18) Intangible Assets” in this note the Company accrues

depreciation and amortization within the useful life of assets such as fixed assets and intangible assets after

considering their scrap value. The Company regularly reviews the useful life of the relevant assets to determine

the amount of depreciation and amortization expense to be included in each reporting period. The service life of

assets is determined by the Company based on past experience of similar assets and in combination with

expected technological changes. The depreciation and amortization expense is adjusted in future periods if there

are material changes from previous estimates.

(5) Deferred tax assets

When it is estimated that sufficient taxable income can be obtained in the future period to utilize unrecovered

tax losses and deductible temporary differences the Company is limited to the amount of taxable income that is

likely to be obtained to offset unrecovered tax losses and deductible temporary differences and calculates and

recognizes the relevant deferred income tax assets on the basis of the applicable income tax rate during the

period in which the assets are expected to be recovered .The Company needs to use judgment to estimate the time and amount of taxable income to be obtained in the

future and make reasonable estimates and judgments on the future applicable income tax rate according to the

current tax policy and other relevant policies.

120Bengang Steel Plates Co. Ltd. 2023 Semi-Annual Report

To determine the amount of deferred income tax assets that should be recognized. If there is a difference

between the time and amount of profit actually generated in the future or the actual applicable income tax rate

and the management's estimate the difference will have an impact on the amount of deferred tax assets.

some cases bank references (when this information is available). The Company sets a credit sales limit for each

customer which is the maximum amount that does not require additional approval.The Company ensures that the company's overall credit risk is within a controllable range through regular

monitoring of existing customer credit ratings and regular review of accounts receivable aging analysis. When

monitoring the credit risk of customers group them according to their credit characteristics. Customers rated as

“high risk” will be placed on a restricted customer list and only with additional approval the Company can sell

to them on credit in the future otherwise they must be required to pay the corresponding amount in advance.
