(i)

If the respective unobservable inputs of investments in ordinary shares and preferred shares measured at FVTPL held by the Group had been 5% higher or lower, the profit before income tax for the year ended December 31, 2025 would have been approximately RMB17,429 lower or RMB17,494 higher (the profit before income tax for the year ended December 31, 2024 would have been approximately RMB17,943 lower or RMB17,927 higher; the loss before income tax for the year ended December 31, 2023 would have been RMB13,355 higher or RMB13,354 lower).

(ii)

For loan receivables at fair value through other comprehensive income, the fair values are determined based on discounted cash flow model using unobservable discount rates that reflect credit risk and market risk.
