| (i) | During the year ended March 31, 2021, additions under the Core commerce segment primarily included the acquisition of Sun Art (Note 4(a)).
| (ii) | During the year ended March 31, 2022, the Company allocated its goodwill primarily as a result of the change in segments (Note 26).
Gross goodwill balances were RMB 297,250 million and RMB 299,201 million as of March 31, 2021 and 2022, respectively. Accumulated impairment losses were RMB 4,479 million and RMB 29,620 million as of March 31, 2021 and 2022, respectively. In the annual goodwill impairment assessment, the Company concluded that the carrying amounts of certain reporting units exceeded their respective fair values and recorded impairment losses of RMB 576 million, nil and RMB 25,141 million during the years ended March 31, 2020, 2021 and 2022, respectively. During the year ended March 31, 2022, considered the changes in market conditions, the Company performed quantitative impairment tests on certain reporting units under the Digital media and entertainment segment and recognized impairment charges of RMB 14,754 million relating to one listed reporting unit and RMB 10,387 million relating to one unlisted reporting unit. The fair value of the listed reporting unit is determined based on its market capitalization, adjusted for control premium. The fair value of the unlisted reporting unit is determined using the income approach, which is based on the discounted cash flow analysis derived from assumptions of future growth rates and weighted average cost of capital. The goodwill impairment is presented as an unallocated item in the segment information (Note 26) because the CODM of the Company does not consider this as part of the segment operating performance measure.
