(Note i) In 2020, the Group elected to start with the quantitative impairment test for goodwill. The management determined that the Income Approach, specifically the Discounted Cash Flow (“DCF”) method, is appropriate. For CP&CE Programs, some business units have kept downward trends in business performance and operating results, and the management decided to suspend some non-performing business units in order to solidify the operational base and enhance future growth prospects. As a result, lower projection of cash flows was used for these business units. For the rest of entities, the management would continue to maintain business, develop new programs and service portfolios and organize resources in a more effective way. For K-12 segment, the management decided to use a flat and conservative growth rate. Other key assumptions besides cash flow projections included discount rates in the range from 15% to 16%  and terminal growth rate of 3%.
