GENERAL INFORMATION
BOE Technology Group Co., Ltd. (the Company) was founded in 1993 in Beijing, People's Republic of China (PRC). It was reorganized into a joint stock limited company in 1997 and is registered in Beijing. The Company and its subsidiaries are collectively referred to as the Group.
The Group manufactures and sells electronic products, invests in enterprises engaging in the manufacturing of electronic products and provides property management services to properties it owns. The Group has operations in four countries and employs over 6,386 employees (2001: 5,595).
The parent company of the Group is Beijing Orient Investment and Development Co., Ltd., which is a state-owned enterprise registered in Beijing, PRC and its ultimate holding company is Beijing Electronics Holding Co., Ltd., which is a state-owned enterprise reorganized from the General Office of Electronics of the Beijing Municipal Government.
The Company has its primary listing on the Shenzhen Stock Exchange issuing B shares in 1997, with further offerings of A Shares also on the Shenzhen Stock Exchange in 2000.
ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements are set out below:
A Basis of preparation
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS"). This basis of accounting differs from that used in the preparation of the Group's statutory financial statements ("PRC statutory financial statements"). The financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries comprising the Group have been prepared in accordance with the relevant accounting principles and regulations applicable to them. Appropriate adjustments have been made to these financial statements to conform with IFRS.
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention except those disclosed in the accounting policies below.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires the use of estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Although these estimates are based on management's best knowledge of current event and actions, actual results ultimately may differ from those estimates.
In 2001, the Group adopted IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement and IAS 40 Investment Property. The effects of adopting these standards were reported in the previous year's consolidated financial statements.
B Group accounting
- (1) Subsidiaries
- Subsidiaries, which are those entities in which the Group has an interest of more than one half of the voting rights or otherwise has power to govern the financial and operating policies are consolidated.
- Subsidiaries are consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group and are no longer consolidated from the date that control ceases. The purchase method of accounting is used to account for the acquisition of subsidiaries. The cost of an acquisition is measured as the fair value of the assets given up, shares issued or liabilities undertaken at the date of acquisition plus costs directly attributable to the acquisition. The excess of the cost of acquisition over the fair value of the net assets of the subsidiary acquired is recorded as goodwill. See note F for the accounting policy on goodwill. Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions between group companies are eliminated; unrealised losses are also eliminated unless cost cannot be recovered. Where necessary, accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed to ensure consistency with the policies adopted
by the Group.
ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
B Group accounting (continued)
(2) Associates
Investments in associates are accounted for by the equity method of accounting. Under this method the company's share of the post-acquisition profits or losses of associates is recognised in the income statement and its share of post-acquisition movements in reserves is recognised in reserves. The cumulative post-acquisition movements are adjusted against the cost of the investment. Associates are entities over which the Group generally has between 20% and 50% of the voting rights, or over which the Group has significant influence, but which it does not control. Unrealised gains on transactions between the Group and its associates are eliminated to the extent of the Group's interest in the associates; unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the asset transferred. The Group's investment in associates includes goodwill (net of accumulated amortisation) on acquisition. When the Group's share of losses in an associate equals or exceeds its interest in the associate, the Group does not to recognise further losses, unless the Group has incurred obligations or made payments on behalf of the associates.
(3) Joint ventures
The Group's interests in jointly controlled entities are accounted for by proportionate consolidation. The Group combines its share of the joint ventures' individual income and expenses, assets and liabilities and cash flows on a line-by-line basis with similar items in the Group's financial statements. The Group recognises the portion of gains or losses on the sale of assets by the Group to the joint venture that it is attributable to the other ventures. The Group does not recognise its share of profits or losses from the joint venture that result from the purchase of assets by the Group from the joint venture until it resells the assets to an independent party. However, if a loss on the transaction provides evidence of a reduction in the net realisable value of current assets or an impairment loss, the loss is recognised immediately.
C Foreign currency translation
(1) Measurement currency
Items included in the financial statements of each entity in the Group are measured using the currency that best reflects the economic substance of the underlying events and circumstances relevant to that entity ("the measurement currency"). The consolidated financial statements are presented in Renminbi, which is the measurement currency of the parent.
(2) Transactions and balances
Foreign currency transactions are translated into the measurement currency using
the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies, are recognised in the income statement.
Translation differences on debt securities and other monetary financial assets measured at fair value are included in foreign exchange gains and losses. Translation differences on non-monetary items such as equities held for trading are reported as part of the fair value gain or loss. Translation differences on available-for-sale equities are included in the revaluation reserve in equity.
ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
C Foreign currency translation (continued)
(3) Group companies
- Income statements and cash flows of foreign entities are translated into the Group's reporting currency at average exchange rates for the year and their balance sheets are translated at the exchange rates ruling on 31 December. Exchange differences arising from the translation of the net investment in foreign entities and of borrowings and other currency instruments designated as hedges of such investments, are taken to shareholders' equity. When a foreign entity is sold, such exchange differences are recognised in the income statement as part of the gain or loss on sale.
- Goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on the acquisition of a foreign entity are treated as assets and liabilities of the foreign entity and translated at the closing rate.
D Property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment are stated at historical cost less depreciation.
Depreciation is calculated on the straight-line method to write off the cost of each asset, to their residual values over their estimated useful life as follows:
| Land use rights | 50 years |
|---|---|
| Buildings | 20-40 years |
| Plant and machinery | 2-15 years |
| Motor vehicles | 5-8 years |
Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with carrying amount and are included in operating profit.
Interest costs on borrowings to finance the construction of property, plant and equipment are capitalised, during the period of time that is required to complete and prepare the asset for its intended use. All other borrowing costs are expensed.
Repairs and maintenance are charged to the income statement during the financial period in which they are incurred. The cost of major renovations is included in the carrying amount of the asset when it is probable that future economic benefits in excess of the originally assessed standard of performance of the existing asset will flow to the Group. Major renovations are depreciated over the remaining useful life of the related asset.
E Investment property
Investment property, principally comprising office buildings, is held for long-term rental yields and is not occupied by the Group. Investment property is treated as a long-term investment and is carried at cost less any accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. Depreciation is calculated on the straight-line method to write off the cost of each asset, to their residual values over their estimated useful lives ranging from 20 to 40 years.
ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
F Intangible assets
(1) Goodwill
Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of an acquisition over the fair value of the Group's share of the net assets of the acquired subsidiary at the date of acquisition. Goodwill is amortised using the straight-line method over its estimated useful life, generally not exceeding 20 years.
(2) Research and development
Research expenditure is recognised as an expense as incurred. Costs incurred on development projects (relating to the design and testing of new or improved products) are recognised as intangible assets when it is probable that the project will be a success considering its commercial and technological feasibility, and only if the cost can be measured reliably. Other development expenditures are recognised as an expense as incurred. Development costs previously recognised as an expense are not recognised as an asset in a subsequent period. Development costs that have been capitalised are amortised from the commencement of the commercial production of the product on a straight-line basis over the period of its expected benefit, not exceeding five years.
(3) Other intangible assets
Expenditure on acquired patents, trademarks and licences is capitalised and amortised using the straight-line method over their useful lives, but not exceeding 10 years. Intangible assets are not revalued.
G Impairment of long lived assets
Property, plant and equipment and other non-current assets, including goodwill and intangible assets are reviewed for impairment losses whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its recoverable amount which is the higher of an asset's net selling price and value in use. For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest level for which there are separately identifiable cash flows.
H Investments
The Group classified its investments in debt and equity securities into the following categories: trading, held-to-maturity and available-for-sale. The classification is dependent on the purpose for which the investments were acquired. Management determines the classification of its investments at the time of the purchase and re-evaluates such designation on a regular basis. Investments that are acquired principally for the purpose of generating a profit from short-term fluctuations in price are
classified as trading investments and included in current assets; for the purpose of these financial statements short term is defined as 3 months; during the year the Group did not hold any investments in this category. Investments with a fixed maturity that management has the intent and ability to hold to maturity are classified as held-to-maturity and are included in non-current assets, except for maturities within 12 months from the balance sheet date which are classified as current assets. Investments intended to be held for an indefinite period of time, which may be sold in response to needs for liquidity or changes in interest rates, are classified as available-for-sale; and are included in non-current assets unless management has the express intention of holding the investment for less than 12 months from the balance sheet date or unless they will need to be sold to raise operating capital, in which case they are included in current assets.
ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
H Investments (continued)
Purchases and sales of investments are recognised on the trade date, which is the date that the Group commits to purchase or sell the asset. Cost of purchase includes transaction costs. Trading and available-for-sale investments are subsequently carried at fair value. Held-to-maturity investments are carried at amortised cost using the effective yield method. Unrealised gain and losses arising from changes in the fair value of securities classified as available-for-sale are recognised in equity. Equity securities for which fair values cannot be measured reliably are recognised at cost less impairment. When securities classified as available-for-sale are sold or impaired, the accumulated fair value adjustments are included in the income statement as gains and losses from investment securities.
I Operating leases
(1) A Group company is the lessee
Leases where a significant portion of the risks and rewards of ownership are retained by the lessor are classified as operating leases. Payments made under operating leases (net of any incentives received from the lessor) are charged to the income statement on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease.
(2) A Group company is the lessor
Assets leased out under operating leases are included in property, plant and equipment in the balance sheet. They are depreciated over their expected useful lives on a basis consistent with similar owned property, plant and equipment. Rental income (net of any incentives given to lessees) is recognised on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
J Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realisable value. Cost is determined by the weighted average method. The cost of finished goods and work in progress comprises raw materials, direct labour, other direct costs and related production overheads (based on normal operating capacity), but excludes borrowing costs. Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the costs of completion and selling expenses.
K Trade receivables
Trade receivables are carried at original invoice amount less an estimate made for doubtful receivables based on a review of all outstanding amounts at the year end. Bad debts are written off when identified.
L Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents are carried in the balance sheet at cost. For the purposes of the cash flow statement, cash and cash equivalents comprises cash on
hand and deposits held at call with banks.
ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
M Share capital
- (1) Ordinary shares are classified as equity.
- (2) Incremental external costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares, other than in connection with business combination, are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds. Share issue costs incurred directly in connection with a business combination are included in the cost of acquisition.
N Borrowings
Borrowings are recognised initially as the proceeds is received, net of transaction costs incurred. Borrowings are subsequently stated at amortised cost using the effective yield method; any difference between proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption value is recognised in the income statement over the period of the borrowings.
When convertible bonds are issued, the fair value of the liability portion is determined using a market interest rate for an equivalent non-convertible bond; this amount is carried as a long-term liability on the amortised cost basis until extinguished on conversion or maturity of the bonds.
O Deferred income tax
Deferred income tax is provided in full, using the liability method, on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements. Currently enacted tax rates are used in the determination of deferred income tax.
Deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the temporary difference can be utilized.
Deferred income tax is provided on temporary differences arising on investments in subsidiaries, associates and joint venture, except where the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference can be controlled and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future.
P Employee benefits
The Group participates in defined contribution employee benefits plans by respective local governments. Under the plans, the Group's contribution is based on defined percentage of salaries and wages subject to certain salary ceilings. Contributions to the plans are charged to the income statement as incurred.
Hyundai LCD, Inc. ("Hyundai LCD"), a subsidiary of the Company incorporated in the Republic of Korea, provides post-employment benefits to their employees according to the statutory requirement. The entitlement to these benefits is usually
based on the length of their service and rate of pay at the time of termination. The expected costs of these benefits are accrued over the period of employment, costs are assessed using the projected unit credit method: the cost of providing benefits is charged to the income statement so as to spread the regular cost over the service lives of employees. The obligation is measured as the present value of the estimated future cash outflows using market yields at balance sheet date on high quality corporate bonds, which have terms to maturity approximating 5 years.
ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Q Provisions
Provisions are recognised when the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events, it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate of the amount can be made. Where the Group expects a provision to be reimbursed, for example under an insurance contract, the reimbursement is recognised as a separate asset but only when the reimbursement is virtually certain.
(1) Warranty
The Group recognises the estimated liability to repair or replace products still under warranty at the balance sheet date. This provision is calculated based on historical data of the level of repairs and replacements.
(2) Employee compensated absences entitlement
Employee compensated absences entitlement is provided by Hyundai LCD Inc. to its employees. Employee entitlements to annual leave and long service leave are recognised when they accrue to employees. A provision is made for the estimated liability for annual leave and long-service leave as a result of services rendered by employees up to the balance sheet date.
R Government grants
Government grants are recognized as income upon receipt.
S Revenue recognition
- Revenue comprises the invoiced value for the sale of goods and services net of value-added tax, rebates and discounts, and after eliminating sales within the Group. Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised when significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods are transferred to the buyer. Revenue from rendering of services is based on the stage of completion determined by reference to services performed to date as a percentage of total services to be performed.
- Interest income is recognised on a time proportion basis, taking account of the principal outstanding and the effective rate over the period to maturity, when it is determined that such income will accrue to the Group. Dividends are recognised when the right to receive payment is established.
T Dividends
Dividends are recorded in the Group's financial statements in the period in which they are approved by the Group's shareholders.
U Segment reporting
Geographical segments provide products or services within a particular economic environment that is subject to risks and returns that are different from those of components operating in other economic environments.
V Comparatives
Where necessary, comparative figures have been adjusted to conform with changes in presentation in the current year.
Financial Risk Management
(1) Financial risk factors
