Chairman's Statement

Dear Shareholders:

On behalf of the board (the "Board") of directors ("Directors") of Flat Glass Group Co., Ltd. (the "Company", together with its subsidiaries, the "Group"), I present the audited consolidated financial statements of the Group for the year ended 31 December 2020 ("FY2020") (the "Reporting Period").

In FY2020, the Group benefited from the impact of the release of new capacity as well as stable and strong increase in demand of PV industry, and its operating revenue reached a new high. The operating revenue of the Group for FY2020 was approximately RMB6,260.42 million, representing an increase of 30.24% as compared to RMB4,806.80 million for FY2019. The net profit attributable to Shareholders of the parent company for FY2020 was RMB1,628.78 million, representing an increase of 127.09% as compared to RMB717.24 million for FY2019.

BOOMING DEVELOPMENT OF THE DOMESTIC PV INDUSTRY

During the first several months in FY2020, the domestic installed capacity was affected by the COVID-19 to some extent, yet with the successful control of the COVID-19 in China plus the attention on clean and low carbon energy from all walks of the society, particularly subsequent to repeated highlight on "peaking carbon dioxide emissions and achieving carbon neutrality" on major occasions by President Xi Jinping, the PV industry has witnessed a vigorous recovery trend since the second half of 2020. Innovation has been extensively applied into product and technology and the electricity price and cost of power generation continued to decline, and the export of products increased steadily.

According to the statistics from the China PV Industry Association (CPIA), in FY2020, China's new installed capacity reached 48.2 gigawatts ("GW"), representing a year-on-year increase of 60% and ranking first globally for consecutive 8 years. As of the end of FY2020, the cumulative PV grid-connected installed capacity in China reached 253GW, representing a year-on-year increase of 23.5% and ranking first globally for consecutive 6 years. The volume of PV power generation in this year reached 260.5 billion kwh, representing a year-on-year increase of 16.2%, and accounted for 3.5% of the total volume of power generation in China, representing an increase of 0.4 percentage point.

STEADY DEVELOPMENT OF THE OVERSEAS PV MARKET

Global PV market remained a growth trend overall despite various degrees of city closure measures in different countries driven by the spread of the COVID-19, exerting certain impact on the PV installed capacity. In 2020, new PV installed capacity increased by 130GW globally, representing a year-on-year increase of 13%, with the United States as the second largest installed market in the world. A new round of FIT policies in Vietnam spurred a wave of rooftop PV installation in Vietnam. According to the announcements issued by the Ministry of Industry and Trade in Vietnam, the new PV installed capacity in Vietnam reached 10.75GW in FY2020, of which the rooftop PV installation capacity exceeded 9GW, leaping as the third largest installed market in the world. In addition, in light of the cost of PV power generation continuing to decline and the EU ecological agreement, the European market will remain a growth momentum.

ACCELERATING THE EXPANSION OF PV GLASS PRODUCTION CAPACITY

PV glass products, being the principal products of the Group, is expected to remain the main driver of the Group's growth in 2021. With the rapid development of the global PV industry, the demand for PV glass continues to increase. In order to meet the strong market demand and further increase the market share of the Company's PV glass, two PV glass furnaces with a daily melting capacity 1,000 tons in Vietnam Production Base were ignited and put into production in the fourth quarter of 2020 and the first quarter of 2021, respectively. The first PV glass furnace with a daily melting capacity of 1,200 tons in the Phase II of Anhui Production Base was ignited and put into production in the first quarter of 2021. In addition, the Group will promote the construction progress of other PV glass furnaces in Phase II of Anhui Production Base and it is expected to be ignited and put into production in 2021. Furthermore, the Group also will promote the construction progress of other PV glass furnaces in Phase III of Anhui Production Base (five PV glass furnaces with a daily melting capacity 1,200 tons) and it is expected to be ignited and put into production in 2022.

Management Discussion and Analysis

BUSINESS OVERVIEW

The Group is principally engaged in the manufacturing and sales of various glass products, including PV glass, float glass, architectural glass and household glass. The production facilities of the Group are strategically located in Jiaxing, Zhejiang Province, and Fengyang County, Chuzhou, Anhui Province in the PRC and Haiphong, Vietnam. The Group mainly sells glass products to customers in countries including China, Thailand, Cambodia, Indonesia, India and the United States.

In FY2020, the Group benefited from the impact of capacity expansion and the boom of PV industry, and its operating revenue reached a new high. The operating revenue of the Group for FY2020 was approximately RMB6,260.42 million, representing an increase of 30.24% as compared to RMB4,806.80 million for the year ended 31 December 2019 ("FY2019"). The net profit attributable to shareholders of the parent company (the "Shareholders") for FY2020 was RMB1,628.78 million, representing an increase of 127.09% as compared to RMB717.24 million for FY2019.

Overview of the Group's business

1. Domestic expansion in Anhui Province, the PRC

Two projects on processing capacity of 750,000 tons of PV glass in Phase II of Anhui Production Base represent the project of using the proceeds from the issuance of A share convertible corporate bonds of the Company and the project of using the proceeds from the non-public issuance of A shares of the Company, including four PV glass production lines with a daily melting capacity of 1,200 tons. The first PV glass production line with a daily melting capacity of 1,200 tons was ignited and put into production in the first quarter of 2021, and another three are expected to be gradually put into production in 2021.

In addition, due to the vigorous development of the whole PV industry and the differentiated requirements of downstream customers for large-sized and thin glass, the Group expects that the above capacity will not be able to meet the demand of downstream customers for the Group's products after it is put into operation. Thus, the Group intends to construct five PV glass furnaces with a daily melting capacity of 1,200 tons in Fengning Modern Industrial Park, Fengyang County, Chuzhou City, Anhui Province, the PRC, which are expected to be gradually put into operation in 2022.

2. Overseas expansion in Haiphong Vietnam

Due to novel coronavirus (the "COVID-19") since the beginning of 2020, Vietnam has stopped issuing visas to China citizens and the technicians are unable to attend Vietnam site. It has certain impact on the construction progress of the Vietnam Production Base, but with the control of the COVID-19 and striving for the staff quota from the local government by the Company, the Company's staff arrived at the construction site successively, and the construction activities gradually returned to the normal level. As such, two PV glass furnaces with a daily melting capacity of 1,000 tons in the PV glass production base in Haiphong, Vietnam were ignited and put into production in the fourth quarter of 2020 and the first quarter of 2021, respectively.

The following sets out the key risks and uncertainties faced by the Group. It is a non-exhaustive list and there may be other risks and uncertainties further to the key risk areas outlined below. Besides, this annual report does not constitute a recommendation or an advice for anyone to invest in the securities of the Company and investors are advised to make their own judgment or consult their own investment advisors before making any investment in the securities of the Company.

Risks pertaining to the PV glass industry

The Group derived a majority of its revenue from its sales of PV glass. During FY2020, the revenue generated from the sales of PV glass amount to RMB5,225.67 million, representing 83.47% of the total revenue of the Group. In recent years, the global PV industry has experienced fluctuations in terms of production output and prices of PV modules. In addition, some PV module manufacturers faced severe financial difficulties which impacted the business of PV component makers, including PV glass manufacturers. Some PV module manufacturers were not able to satisfy their payment obligations towards their suppliers, which in turn resulted in the suspension of the business operations of a number of PV glass manufacturers in China. In the past, the Group also had experienced customer defaults. Furthermore, the demand for PV glass generally depends on the demand for PV modules, which is subject to a number of macroeconomic and factors outside the control of PV glass manufacturers. The demand for solar energy also depends on the overall demand for electricity and the overall social and governmental support for the use of renewable energy. If there is any significant decrease in the demand for solar energy or investments in the PV industry, the demand and the prices of PV glass will decrease accordingly. Such decreases could be substantial and could result in significant excessive supply. Any market downturn, over-supply or fluctuations in the PV industry or financial difficulties faced by PV module manufacturers could have a material adverse impact on the business, financial condition and results of operations of the Group.

Independent Auditor's Report

(De Shi Bao (Shen) Zi (21) No. P01566

TO ALL THE SHAREHOLDERS OF FLAT GLASS GROUP CO., LTD.

1. AUDIT OPINION

We have audited the attached financial statements of Flat Glass Group Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Flat Group"), including the consolidated and parent company's balance sheet as at 31 December 2020, the consolidated and parent company's income statement, the consolidated and parent company's statement of cash flow, the consolidated and parent company's statement of changes in shareholders' equity and notes to the financial statements in 2020.

In our opinion, the attached financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting standards for business enterprises in all material aspects, and have given a fair view of the consolidated and parent company's financial position as at 31 December 2020, and of its consolidated and parent company's operating results and consolidated and parent company's cash flow in 2020.

2. BASIS FOR FORMING AUDIT OPINION

We conducted our audit in accordance with the Chinese standards on auditing for certified public accountants. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements section of our audit report. We are independent of the Flat Group in accordance with the code of professional ethics for Chinese certified public accountants, and we have fulfilled other responsibilities in terms of professional ethics. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

3. KEY AUDIT MATTERS

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of financial statements in 2020. The responses to these matters were based on the audit of the financial statements as a whole and the formation of audit opinions. We do not provide a separate opinion on these matters and we confirm that the following matters are the key matters to be communicated in the audit report.

(1) Impairment of commercial acceptance bills receivable and trade receivables

Item description

As stated in Notes (VI). 40 to the financial statements, the sales revenue of Flat Group in 2020 was mainly from the sales of PV glass amounting to RMB5,225,674,398.32. The sales revenue of PV glass is recognized when the customer obtains the control right of relevant goods. According to the agreement of the sales contract, for domestic sales, Flat Group transported the goods to the agreed place of delivery or picked up by the buyers on their own, with the revenue recognized on receiving the goods; and for export sales, Flat Group recognizes the sales revenue according to the time when the control of goods is transferred under different trade modes. As revenue is one of the key performance indicators of Flat Group, and the timing of the transfer of control of goods is different, there may be a risk that the sales revenue is not recognized in the appropriate period. Therefore, we consider whether the sales revenue of PV glass is included in the appropriate accounting period as the key audit matter.

How our audit addressed the key audit matter

Our main audit procedures for the key audit matters related to the cut-off of revenue recognition of the above PV glass include:

  • (1) Obtain an understanding of the key internal control related to the cut-off of sales revenue recognition for PV glass, evaluate the design and implementation of the relevant internal control, and test the effectiveness of its operation;
  • (2) Check the sales contracts of major customers and interview with the management, identify the contract terms related to the transfer time of control of goods and examine the book entry in accordance with the terms of the contract, and verify whether the time point of revenue recognition of Flat Group is in line with the provisions of accounting standards for business enterprises;
  • (3) Obtain the delivery records for a transaction cycle prior to the balance sheet date, For export sales, we conducted sampling inspection of customs declarations or cargo receipt records for export sales according to different trade patterns. For domestic sales, we sent the confirmations to the transport companies to confirm the receipt status of goods or tested the receipt records of the good by sample; and
  • (4) Perform cut-off tests on the revenue of the last transaction cycle after the balance sheet date,and check supporting documents related to revenue recognition including receipt records and customs declarations. In addition, we also took into account whether there were major post-sales recalls and assessed their impacts on the financial statements.

4. OTHER INFORMATION

The management of Flat Group is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the annual report but does not include the financial statements and our audit reports thereon.

Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.

If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.

Independent Auditor's Report

5. RESPONSIBILITIES OF MANAGEMENT AND THOSE CHARGED WITH GOVERNANCE FOR THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The management of Flat Group is responsible for the preparation of the financial statements that give a fair view in accordance with the accounting standards for business enterprises, and designing, implementing and maintaining the necessary internal controls so that the financial statements are free from material misstatement due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial statements, the management is responsible for assessing the Flat Group's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern assumption unless the management either intend to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the Flat Group's financial reporting process.

6. CPA'S RESPONSIBILITIES FOR THE AUDIT OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance on whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement due to fraud or error, and to issue audit reports containing audit opinions. Reasonable assurance is a high- level assurance, but it does not guarantee that the audit conducted in accordance with the auditing standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.

As part of an audit in accordance with auditing standards, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. At the same time, we also:

  • (1) Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
  • (2) Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances.
  • (3) Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the management.
  • (4) Draw a conclusion on the appropriateness of management's use of going concern assumption. At the same time, conclude on whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Flat Group's ability to continue as a going concern based on the audit evidence obtained. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required by the auditing standards to draw attention in our audit report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to issue a non-unqualified opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our audit report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Flat Group to cease to continue as a going concern.

  • (5) Evaluate the overall presentation (including the disclosures), structure and content of the financial statements, and whether the financial statements represent the relevant transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

  • (6) Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Flat Group to express an audit opinion on the financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.

We communicate with those charged with governance regarding the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

We also provide a statement to those charged with governance that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and communicate with those charged with governance all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be considered to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.

From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the financial statements in 2020 and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor's report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

(I) CORPORATE INFORMATION (Continued)

1. Company Overview (Continued)

The principal activities of the Company and its subsidiaries (the "Group") are the manufacturing and sales of glass products.

The de facto controllers of the Company are Mr. Ruan Hongliang, Ms. Jiang Jinhua, Ms. Ruan Zeyun and Mr. Zhao Xiaofei, of whom Mr. Ruan Hongliang and Ms. Jiang Jinhua are directors of the Company.

2. Scope of the Consolidated Financial Statements

On 29 March 2021, the Company's company and consolidated financial statements have been approved by the Board of Directors of the Company.

Details of the scope of consolidated financial statements are set out in Note (V) "Interests in other entities" to the financial statements.

(II) BASIS OF PREPARATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Basis of preparation

The Group has implemented the Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises and other relevant regulations issued by the Ministry of Finance (hereinafter referred to as the "CASBE") and has also disclosed relevant financial information in accordance with the Preparation Convention of Information Disclosure by Companies Offering Securities to the Public No.15 – General Provisions on Financial Reporting (revised in 2014). In addition, the financial statements also include disclosures required by the Companies Ordinance and the Listing Rules of the stock exchange of Hong Kong.

Going concern

The Group has assessed the ability to continue as a going concern for a 12-month period since 31 December 2020 and is not aware of any events or conditions that may cast significant doubt upon the ability to continue as a going concern. So the financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis.

Basis of accounting and principle of measurement

The Group has adopted accrual basis for accounting measurement. Except some financial instruments are measured at fair value, the financial statements are based on historical cost. If the assets are impaired, corresponding provisions for impairment shall be made according to relevant regulations.

Under the historical cost convention, assets are measured at the amount of cash or cash equivalents paid or the fair value of the consideration given to acquire them at the time of acquisition. Liabilities are measured according to the amount of payment or assets actually received due to the assumption of current obligations, or the contract amount of the current obligation, or in accordance with the amount of cash or cash equivalents expected to be paid in daily activities to meet liabilities.

For the year ended 31 December 2020

(II) BASIS OF PREPARATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

Basis of accounting and principle of measurement (Continued)

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, regardless of whether that price is directly observable or estimated using valuation technique. Fair value measured and disclosed in the financial statements are determined according to the above basis.

The fair value measurement is divided into three levels based on the observability of the inputs of the fair value and the importance of the inputs to the fair value measurement as a whole:

  • Level 1 inputs are the unadjusted quoted prices of the same assets or liabilities in the active market that can be obtained on the measurement date.
  • Level 2 inputs are inputs, other than quoted prices included within Level 1, that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.
  • Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the relevant asset or liability.

(III) SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES

The principal activities of the Group are the manufacturing and sales of glass products. Therefore, the accounting policies for recognition of revenue, impairment of financial instruments, depreciation of fixed assets and amortization of intangible assets are based on the characteristics of the glass manufacturing industry. For details please refer to Notes III, 25, III, 9, III, 15 and III, 18.

1. Statement of Compliance with CASBE

The financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with the CASBE, and present truly and completely the consolidated and the Company's financial position as at 31 December 2020 and the consolidated and the Company's results of operations, the consolidated and the Company's changes in shareholders' equity and the consolidated and the Company's cash flows in 2020.

2. Accounting Period

The accounting year of the Group is the calendar year, i.e. from 1 January to 31 December of each year.

3. Operating Cycle

Operating cycle refers to the period from the purchase of assets used for processing to the realization of cash or cash equivalents. The Group's operating cycle usually takes approximately 12 months.

4. Functional Currency

Renminbi ("RMB") is the currency in the primary economic environment in which the Company and its domestic subsidiaries, the Company and its domestic subsidiaries use RMB as their functional currency. The Company's domestic subsidiary determines VND as its functional currency based on the currency in the primary economic environment in which it operates. The currency used by the Company in preparing the financial statements is RMB.

(III) SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES (Continued)

5. Business Combinations

Business combinations are classified into business combinations involving enterprises under common control and business combinations not involving enterprises under common control.

5.1 Business combinations involving enterprises under common control

A business combination involving enterprises under common control is a business combination in which all of the combining enterprises are ultimately controlled by the same party or parties both before and after the combination, and that control is not transitory.

Assets and liabilities acquired in a business combination are measured at their carrying amount of the combined party at the combination date. The difference between the carrying amount of the net assets acquired by the combining party and the carrying amount of the consideration paid for the combination (or the aggregate face value of the shares issued) is adjusted to share premium under capital reserve, if the share capital premium is insufficient to offset the difference, the retained earnings will be adjusted.

The costs that are directly attributable to the business combination are charged to profit or loss in the period in which they are incurred.

5.2 Business combinations not involving enterprises under common control and goodwill

A business combination not involving enterprises under common control is a business combination in which all of the combining enterprises are not ultimately controlled by the same party or parties both before and after the combination.

The cost of combination is measured at the aggregate of the fair values, at the acquisition date, of assets given, liabilities incurred or assumed, and equity instruments issued by the acquirer in exchange for control of the acquiree. The intermediary fees incurred by the acquirer in respect of auditing, legal services, valuation and consultancy services, etc. and other related administrative expenses attributable to the business combination are charged to profit or loss in the period in which they are incurred.

The identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities of the acquiree that meet the recognition conditions acquired by the acquirer in a business combination, are measured at their fair values at the acquisition date.

Where the cost of combination exceeds the acquirer's interest in the fair value of the acquiree's identifiable net assets, the difference is recognised as an asset as goodwill and is initially measured at cost. Where the cost of combination is less than the acquirer's interest in the fair value of the acquiree's identifiable net assets, the acquirer firstly reassesses the measurement of the fair values of the acquiree's identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities and the measurement of the cost of combination. If after that reassessment, the cost of combination is still less than the acquirer's interest in the fair value of the acquiree's identifiable net assets acquired in the combination, the difference is recognised in profit or loss.

Goodwill occurred as a result of combination shall be recognised separately in the consolidated financial statements and measured at cost less accumulated impairment provision.

For the year ended 31 December 2020

(III) SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES (Continued)

6. Preparation of Consolidated Financial Statements

The scope of consolidation for the consolidated financial statements is determined based on control. Control refers to the power that the investor has over the investee; it means that the investor enjoys variable returns by taking part in the relevant activities of the investee and is capable of using its power over the investee to influence the amount of return. In case of changes in the relevant elements involved in the aforesaid definition of control as a result of the changes in facts and circumstance, the Group will conduct re-assessment.

Consolidation of a subsidiary begins when the Group obtains control over the subsidiary and ceases when the Group loses control of the subsidiary.

For a subsidiary disposed of by the Group, the operating results and cash flows before the date of disposal (the date when control is lost) are included in the consolidated income statement and consolidated statement of cash flows, as appropriate.

For a subsidiary acquired through a business combination not involving enterprises under common control, the operating results and cash flows from the acquisition date (the date when control is obtained) are included in the consolidated income statement and consolidated statement of cash flows, as appropriate.

No matter when the business combination occurs in the reporting period, subsidiaries acquired through a business combination involving enterprises under common control or the party being absorbed under merger by absorption are included in the Group's scope of consolidation as if they had been included in the scope of consolidation from the date when they first came under the common control of the ultimate controlling party. Their operating results and cash flows from the beginning of the earliest reporting period or from the date when they first came under the common control of the ultimate controlling party are included in the consolidated income statement and consolidated statement of cash flows, as appropriate.

The significant accounting policies and accounting periods adopted by the subsidiaries are determined in accordance with the Company's unified accounting policies and accounting periods.

All significant accounts and transactions between the Company and its subsidiaries and among the subsidiaries are eliminated on consolidation.

The portion of a subsidiary's equity that is not attributable to the Company is treated as minority interests and presented as "minority interests" under shareholders' equity in the consolidated balance sheet. The portion of a subsidiary's net profit or loss for the period attributable to minority interests is presented as "profit or loss attributable to minority interests" under net profit in the consolidated income statement.

When the amount of loss for the period attributable to the minority shareholders of a subsidiary exceeds the minority shareholders' portion in the opening balance of owners' equity of the subsidiary, the balance is still allocated against minority interests.

(III) SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES (Continued)

6. Preparation of Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

A transaction is accounted for as an equity transaction when the purchase of minority interest in a subsidiary or the disposal of part of equity investment in a subsidiary does not result in the Group losing control over the subsidiary, and the carrying amount of equity attributable to the owner of the Company and minority shareholders will be adjusted to reflect the changes of their related interests in the subsidiary. The difference between the adjusted equity of minority shareholders and the fair value of the consideration paid/received is adjusted to capital reserve. If the capital reserve is insufficient to offset the difference, the retained earnings will be adjusted.

7. Recognition Criteria of Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash comprises cash on hand and deposits that can be readily withdrawn on demand. Cash equivalents are short-term, highly liquid investments held by the Group that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.

8. Translation of Foreign Currency Business and Financial Statements Denominated in Foreign Currency

8.1 Foreign currency business

Foreign currency transactions are translated at the spot exchange rate on the date of transaction at initial recognition.

At the balance sheet date, foreign currency monetary items are translated into RMB using the spot exchange rates at the balance sheet date. Exchange differences arising from the differences between the spot exchange rates prevailing at the balance sheet date and those on initial recognition or at the previous balance sheet date are recognised in profit or loss for the period, except that: (1) exchange differences related to special borrowings denominated in foreign currency eligible for capitalization shall be capitalized into the cost of the related assets during the capitalization period; (2) exchange differences on hedging instruments for the purpose of hedging against foreign currency risk are accounted for using hedge accounting; and (3) exchange differences arising from changes in carrying amount (other than amortised cost) of monetary items at fair value through comprehensive income are recognised in other comprehensive income.

Non-monetary items denominated in foreign currencies that are measured at historical cost are translated to functional currency at the spot exchange rate at the date of the transaction. Non-monetary items denominated in foreign currencies that are measured at fair value are translated using the foreign exchange rate at the date the fair value is determined. The difference between the translated functional currency amount and the original functional currency amount is treated as changes in fair value (including changes in exchange rates) and is recognised in profit or loss or as other comprehensive income.

For the year ended 31 December 2020

(III) SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES (Continued)

8. Translation of Foreign Currency Business and Financial Statements Denominated in Foreign Currency (Continued)

8.2 Translation of foreign currency financial statements

For the purpose of preparing the consolidated financial statements, the foreign currency financial statements of overseas operations are translated into RMB financial statements using the following method: all assets and liabilities in the balance sheet are translated at the spot exchange rate at the balance sheet date; equity items converted at the spot exchange rate at the time of occurrence; all items in the income statement and items reflecting the amount of profit distribution are translated at the exchange rates approximating the foreign exchange rates ruling at the dates of the transactions; the difference between assets and the sum of liabilities and shareholders' equity after translation is recognised in other comprehensive income and included in shareholders' equity.

Cash flows arising from a transaction in foreign currency and the cash flows of a foreign subsidiary are translated at an exchange rate which approximates the spot exchange rate on the date of the cash flows. The effect of exchange rate changes on cash and cash equivalents is regarded as a reconciliation item and presented separately in the statement of cash flows as "effect of exchange rate changes on cash and cash equivalents".

The opening balances and the actual figures of prior year are presented at the translated amounts in the prior year's financial statements.

9. Financial Instruments

The Group recognises a financial asset or a financial liability when it becomes a party to a financial instrument contract.

Where financial assets are purchased or sold in a regular way, assets to be received and liabilities to be borne are recognised on the date of transaction, or assets sold are derecognised on the date of transaction.

Financial assets and financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value. For financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, the related transaction costs are directly recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they are incurred. For other categories of financial assets and financial liabilities, the related transaction costs are included in the initially recognised amount. When the Group initially recognizes receivables that do not contain a significant financing component or do not consider the financing component in a contract not exceeding one year in accordance with the Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises No. 14 – Revenue (the "Revenue Standard"), the Group initially measures the receivables at the transaction price as defined in the Revenue Standard.

Effective interest rate method is the method that is used in the calculation of the amortised cost of a financial asset or a financial liability and in the allocation and recognition of the interest revenue or interest expense in profit or loss over the relevant period.

(III) SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES (Continued)

9. Financial Instruments (Continued)

The effective interest rate is the rate that discounts estimated future cash flows through the expected duration of a financial asset or a financial liability to the carrying amount of the financial asset or to the amortised cost of the financial liability. In determining the effective interest rate, the expected cash flow is estimated on the basis of all contractual terms of the financial asset or financial liability (such as early repayment, extension, call options or other similar options, etc.) without taking into account the expected credit loss.

The amortised cost of a financial asset or a financial liability is the amount initially recognised for a financial asset or a financial liability net of principal repaid, plus or less the cumulative amortised amount arising from amortization of the difference between the amount initially recognised and the amount at the maturity date using the effective interest method, net of cumulative loss allowance (only applicable to financial assets).

9.1 Classification, recognition and measurement of financial assets

Subsequent to initial recognition, the Group's financial assets of various categories are subsequently measured at amortised cost, fair value through other comprehensive income ("FVTOCI") or fair value through profit or loss ("FVTPL").

If the contractual terms of the financial asset stipulate that the cash flows generated on a specific date are solely payments of the principal and the interest on the principal amount outstanding and the financial asset is managed by the Group in a business model aimed at collecting contractual cash flows, the Group shall classify the financial asset into the financial asset measured at amortised cost. Such financial assets mainly include cash and bank balances, bills receivable and receivables, other receivables, etc.

If the contractual terms of the financial asset stipulate that the cash flows generated on a specific date are solely payments of the principal and the interest on the principal amount outstanding and the financial asset is managed by the Group in a business model aimed at both collecting contractual cash flows and selling such financial assets, the Group shall classify the financial asset into the financial asset at FVTOCI. These financial assets were classified as bills receivable at fair value through other comprehensive income when obtaining, and presented under receivables financing.

On initial recognition, the Group may, based on an individual financial asset, irrevocably designate a non-tradable equity instrument investment other than contingent consideration recognised in business combination not involving enterprises under common control as financial asset at FVTOCI. Such financial assets are presented as other equity instrument investments.

The Group's purpose of holding the financial assets is for trading if one of the following conditions is satisfied:

  • The purpose of acquiring the financial assets is to sell the assets in the near future.
  • The relevant financial assets are part of a portfolio of identified financial instruments that are centrally managed on initial recognition, and there is objective evidence of actually a recent shortterm profit-taking model.
  • The relevant financial assets are derivatives, except for derivatives defined under financial guarantee contracts and derivatives designated as effective hedging instruments.

For the year ended 31 December 2020

(III) SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES (Continued)

9. Financial Instruments (Continued)

9.1 Classification and measurement of financial assets (Continued)

Financial assets at FVTPL include financial assets classified as at FVTPL and financial assets designated as at FVTPL.

  • Financial assets that do not meet the classification criteria for financial assets at amortised cost or financial assets at FVTOCI are classified as financial assets at FVTPL.
  • On initial recognition, the Group may irrevocably designate a financial asset as at FVTPL if doing so eliminates or significantly reduces an accounting mismatch or when the criteria for the hybrid contract with embedded derivatives are met.

Except for derivative financial assets, financial assets at FVTPL are presented as held-for-trading financial assets.

9.1.1 Financial assets measured at amortised cost

Financial asset at amortised cost is subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Gains or losses arising from derecognition, impairment or amortization are recognised in profit or loss.

The Group recognises interest income on financial assets measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. The Group determines the interest income based on the carrying amount of financial assets multiplied by the effective interest rate, except for:

  • For purchased or originated credit impaired financial assets, the Group recognises their interest income based on amortised cost and credit-adjusted effective interest rate of such financial assets since initial recognition.
  • For purchased or originated financial assets without credit impairment but with credit impairment incurred in subsequent periods, the Group calculates and determines its interest income based on amortised cost of the financial asset and the effective interest rate in subsequent periods. If the credit risk of the financial instrument improves in subsequent periods and the financial instrument is no longer credit impaired and the improvement can be linked to an event occurring after the application of the above requirements, the Group will determine the interest income based on the effective interest rate multiplied by the carrying amount of the financial assets.

9.1 Classification and measurement of financial assets (Continued)

9.1.2 Financial assets classified as at FVTOCI

Except for impairment losses or gains related to financial assets at FVTOCI, interest income calculated using the effective interest method and exchange gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss, changes in fair value of the financial assets are recognised in other comprehensive income. The amount of the financial assets included in profit or loss for each period shall be equal to the amount deemed as measured at amortised cost and included in profit or loss for each period. Upon derecognition of the financial assets, cumulative gains or losses previously recognised in other comprehensive income are transferred and reclassified into profit or loss for the period.

After the non-tradable equity instrument investment is designated as a financial asset at FVTOCI, the changes in fair value of the financial asset are recognised in other comprehensive income. When the financial asset is derecognised, the cumulative gains or losses previously recognised in other comprehensive income are transferred from other comprehensive income and recognised in retained earnings. During the period that the Group holds these non-tradable equity instrument, the dividend income is recognised and included in profit or loss when the Group's right to receive dividends has been established and the economic benefits associated with the dividends are likely to flow into the Group and the amount of the dividends can be reliably measured.

9.1.3 Financial assets at FVTPL

Financial assets at FVTPL shall be subsequently measured at fair value. Gains or losses from change in fair value and dividends and interest income related to such financial assets shall be recognised in profit or loss.

9.2 Impairment of financial instruments

The Group performs impairment accounting for financial assets measured at amortised cost and financial assets at FVTOCI based on expected credit losses ("ECL") and recognises loss allowance.

The group measures the loss reserves of all commercial acceptance, bills receivable and trade receivable formed due to the income standard in accordance with the amount equivalent to lifetime ECL.

For other financial instruments, except for purchased or originated credit impaired financial assets, at each balance sheet date, the Group assesses changes in credit risk of relevant financial instruments since initial recognition. If the credit risk on the financial instrument has increased significantly since initial recognition, the Group measures its loss allowance at an amount equal to lifetime ECL of the financial instrument. If the credit risk on the financial instrument has not increased significantly since initial recognition, the Group measures the loss allowance at an amount equal to next 12-month ECL of the financial instrument. Except for financial assets measured at FVTOCI, the increased or reversed amount of credit loss provision shall be included in profit and loss for the period as impairment loss or gain.

9.2 Impairment of financial instruments (Continued)

The Group measured loss allowance at an amount equal to the lifetime ECL of the financial instruments in the previous accounting period. However, as at the balance sheet date for the current period, for the above financial instruments, due to failure to qualify as significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition, the Group measures loss allowance for the financial instrument at an amount equal to next 12-month ECL at the balance sheet date for the current period, and the relevant reversal amount of loss allowance is included in profit or loss for the current period as an impairment gain.

9.2.1 Significant increase in credit risk

The Group uses reasonable and supportable forward-looking information that is available to determine whether the credit risk of a financial instrument has increased significantly since initial recognition by comparing the risk of a default occurring on the financial instrument as at the balance sheet date with the risk of a default occurring on the financial instrument as at the date of initial recognition. For loan commitments and financial guarantee contracts, the Group uses the date on which it becomes the party making the irrevocable undertaking as the initial recognition date when applying provisions for financial instrument impairment.

The Group will take the following factors into consideration when assessing whether the credit risk has significantly increased:

  • (1) Whether the external market indicators of credit risk for the same financial instrument or similar financial instruments with same expected life have changed significantly. These indicators include: credit spread, credit default swap prices for borrowers.
  • (2) Whether the debtor's internal credit rating is actually lowered or is expected to be lowered.
  • (3) Adverse changes in business, financial or economic conditions that are expected to cause a significant change to the debtor's ability to meet its debt obligations.
  • (4) Whether the actual or expected operating results of the debtor has changed significantly.
  • (5) Whether the regulatory, economic or technological environment in which the debtor is located has undergone significant adverse changes.

9.2 Impairment of financial instruments (Continued)

9.2.1 Significant increase in credit risk (Continued)

Irrespective of a significant increase in credit risk since above assessment, the credit risk of the financial instrument is considered to have increased significantly when the contractual payments are past due more than 30 days (inclusive).

As at the balance sheet date, if the Group judges that the financial instrument solely has lower credit risk, the Group will assume that the credit risk of the financial instrument has not significantly increased since initial recognition. If the default risk of a financial instrument is low, and the borrower is highly capable of meeting its contract cash flow obligations in short term, the financial instrument is considered to have a lower credit risk even if there is a negative change in the economic situation and operating environment over a longer period of time, but it may not necessarily reduce the borrower's performance of its contract cash obligations.

9.2.2 Credit impaired financial assets

A financial asset is credit impaired when one or more events that have an adverse impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset occurred. Evidence that a financial asset is credit impaired includes the following observable information:

  • (1) Significant financial difficulty of the issuer or the debtor;
  • (2) The debtor breaches the contract, such as default or overdue on interest or principal payment;
  • (3) The creditor, for economic or contractual reasons relating to the financial difficulties of the debtor, granted to the debtor a concession that the creditor would not otherwise consider;
  • (4) The debtor is likely to enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganization;
  • (5) The active market for the financial asset disappeared due to the financial difficulties of the issuer or the debtor.

Based on the Group's internal credit risk management, the Group considers an event of default occurs when information proposed internally or obtained externally indicates that the debtor of the financial instrument is unable to pay its creditors (including the Group) in full (without taking into account any guarantees obtained by the Group).

Irrespective of the above assessment, the Group presumes that default has occurred when the contractual payments for a financial instrument are past due for more than 90 days (inclusive).

9.2.3 Determination of ECL

The Group uses impairment matrix to determine the credit loss of related financial instruments on the basis of combination of bills receivable, financing receivables, trade receivable and other receivables. The Group divides financial instruments into different groups based on common risk features. The common credit risk features adopted by the Group include: type of financial instruments, credit risk rating, initial recognition date, etc.

The Group determines ECL of relevant financial instruments according to the following methods:

  • For financial assets, the credit loss shall be the present value of the difference between the contractual cash flow to be received by the Group and the expected cash flow to be received.
  • As for the financial assets with credit impairment occurred on the balance sheet date but not purchased or generated, the credit loss is the difference between the book balance of the financial assets and the present value of the estimated future cash flow discounted at the original effective interest rate.
  • For a financial guarantee contract, the credit loss is the estimated payment made by the Group for the credit loss incurred by the contract holder, less the present value of the difference between the amount expected to be collected by the Group from the contract holder, debtor or any other party.

The factors reflected in the Group's methods of measuring ECL of financial instruments include: the unbiased probability weighted average amount determined by evaluating a series of possible results; the time value of money; the reasonable and supportable information about past events, current situation and future economic situation forecast that is available without undue costs or efforts on the balance sheet date.

9.2.4 Write-down of financial assets

When the Group no longer reasonably expects that the contractual cash flow of the financial assets can be recovered in whole or in part, the book balance of the financial assets shall be written down directly. Such write down constitutes derecognition of related financial assets.

(III) SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES (Continued)

9. Financial Instruments (Continued)

9.3 Transfer of financial assets

A financial asset is derecognised when one of the following conditions is met: (1) the contractual rights to receive the cash flows from the financial asset expire; (2) the financial asset has been transferred and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset has been transferred to the transferee; or (3) the financial asset has been transferred, although the Group neither transfers nor retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset, it does not retain control over the financial asset.

If the Group neither transfers nor retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of a financial asset, it retains control of the financial asset, it recognises the financial asset to the extent of its continuing involvement in the transferred financial asset and recognises the related liability accordingly. The Group measures the related liabilities in the following ways:

  • If the transferred financial asset is measured at amortised cost, the carrying amount of the related liability is the carrying amount of the continuing involvement in the transferred financial asset less the amortised cost of the rights retained by the Group (if the Group retains the rights due to the transfer of the financial asset) plus the amortised cost of the obligations assumed by the Group (if the Group assumes the obligations due to the transfer of the financial asset), and the related liability is not designated as financial liability at FVTPL.
  • If the transferred financial asset is measured at fair value, the carrying amount of the related liability is the carrying amount of the continuing involvement in the transferred financial asset less the fair value of the rights retained by the Group (if the Group retains the rights due to the transfer of the financial asset) plus the fair value of the obligations assumed by the Group (if the Group assumes the obligations due to the transfer of the financial asset), the fair value of the rights and the obligations shall be the fair value at the time of measurement on an independent basis.

For a transfer of a financial asset in its entirety that satisfies the derecognition criteria, especially for a financial asset classified at amortised cost and financial asset classified as at FVTOCI, the difference between the carrying amount of the financial asset transferred and the sum of the consideration received from the transfer and any cumulative gain or loss that has been previously recognised in other comprehensive income is recognised in profit or loss for the period. While regarding non-trading equity instruments designated as at FVTOCI by the Group, cumulative gains or losses previously recognised in other comprehensive income are transferred and included in retained earnings.

For the year ended 31 December 2020

(III) SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES (Continued)

9. Financial Instruments (Continued)

9.3 Transfer of financial assets (Continued)

If part of the transferred financial asset satisfies the derecognition criteria, the carrying amount of the financial asset as a whole is allocated between the part that is derecognised and the part that continues to be recognised, based on the relative fair values of those parts on the date of the transfer. The difference between the carrying amount allocated to the part derecognised and the sum of the consideration received for the part derecognised and any cumulative gain or loss allocated to the part derecognised that has been previously recognised in other comprehensive income is recognised in profit or loss or retained earnings.

For a transfer of a financial asset in its entirety that does not satisfy the derecognition criteria, the Group will continuously recognise the transferred financial asset in its entirety. Considerations received due to transfer of assets should be recognised as a liability upon receipts.

9.4 Classification and measurement of financial liabilities and equity instruments

Based on the contractual terms of the financial instruments issued and the economic substance rather than only the form of legal contracts reflected, along with the definition of financial liabilities and equity instruments, the Group classifies the financial instruments or its components as financial liability or equity instrument at initial recognition.

9.4.1 Classification, recognition and measurement of financial liabilities

Upon initial recognition, financial liabilities are classified into financial liabilities at FVTPL and other financial liabilities.

9.4.1.1 Financial liabilities at FVTPL

Financial liabilities at fair value through profit and loss include held-for-trading financial liabilities (including derivatives that are financial liabilities) and financial liabilities designated as at FVTPL. In addition to the derivative financial liabilities listed separately, financial liabilities at FVTPL are listed as transactional financial liabilities.

The Group's purpose of undertaking the financial liabilities is for trading if one of the following conditions is satisfied:

  • The purpose of undertaking relevant financial liabilities is mainly for the recent repurchase.
  • The relevant financial liabilities are part of a portfolio of identified financial instruments that are centrally managed on initial recognition, and there is objective evidence of actually a recent short-term profit-taking model.
  • The relevant financial liabilities are derivatives, except for derivatives defined under financial guarantee contracts and derivatives designated as effective hedging instruments.

9.4 Classification and measurement of financial liabilities and equity instruments (Continued)

9.4.1 Classification, recognition and measurement of financial liabilities (Continued)

9.4.1.1 Financial liabilities at FVTPL (Continued)

The Group may designate, on initial recognition, a financial liability as at FVTPL if one of the following conditions is satisfied: (1) such designation eliminates or significantly reduces an accounting mismatch; (2) manage and evaluate the financial liability portfolio or the portfolio of financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value based on the risk management or investment strategy as stated in the official written documents of the Group, and report to key management of the Group internally; or (3) a qualified hybrid contract containing embedded derivatives.

Held-for-trading financial liabilities are subsequently measured at fair value, and any gains or losses arising from changes in fair value and dividends or interest expenses paid on the financial liabilities are recognised in profit or loss for the period.

For financial liabilities designated at fair value through profit or loss, changes in the fair value of such financial liabilities arising from changes in the Group's own credit risk are recognized in other comprehensive income and changes in other fair values are recognized in profit or loss in the current period. On de-recognition of the financial liability, the cumulative change in fair value attributable to changes in own credit risk previously recognized in other comprehensive income is transferred to retained earnings. Dividends or interest expenses related to these financial liabilities are recognized in profit or loss for the period. If the treatment of the effects of changes in the own credit risk of such financial liabilities as described above would cause or enlarge an accounting mismatch in profit or loss, the Group recognizes the entire gain or loss on such financial liabilities (including the amount of the effect of changes in own credit risk) in profit or loss for the period.

9.4.1.2 Other financial liabilities

Other financial liabilities other than financial liabilities arising from the transfer of financial assets that do not qualify for derecognition or continuing involvement in the transferred financial assets and financial guarantee contracts are classified as financial liabilities at amortised cost and subsequently measured at amortised cost, with gains or losses arising from derecognition or amortization recognised in profit or loss for the period.

When the Group and a counterparty modify or renegotiate a contract that does not result in derecognition of a financial liability subsequently measured at amortised cost but result in changes in contractual cash flows, the Group recalculates the carrying amount of the financial liability and recognises any related gains or losses in profit or loss for the period. In recalculating the financial liability, the Group determines the carrying amount of the renegotiated or modified contractual cash flows at the present value discounted at the original effective interest rate of the financial liability. For all costs or expenses incurred in connection with the modification or renegotiation of a contract, the Group adjusts the modified carrying amount of the financial liability and amortises it over the remaining period of the modified financial liability.

9.4.1 Classification, recognition and measurement of financial liabilities (Continued)

9.4.1.2 Other financial liabilities (Continued)

9.4.1.2.1 Financial guarantee contracts

A financial guarantee contract is a contract that requires the issuer to make specified payments to reimburse the holder of the contract for a loss it incurs because a specified debtor fails to make payment when due in accordance with the original or modified terms of a debt instrument. Subsequent to initial recognition, financial guarantee contracts that are not designated as financial liabilities at FVTPL are measured at the higher of the amount of loss provision and the amount initially recognized less cumulative amortization amount determined in accordance with the relevant regulations set out in Revenue Standard.

9.4.2 Derecognition of financial liabilities

The Group derecognises a financial liability (or part of it) only when the underlying present obligation (or part of it) is discharged. Where an agreement between the Group as borrower and lender is signed to replace the original financial liability and the contractual terms of the new financial liability and the original financial liability are substantially different, the Group derecognised the original financial liability and recognised the new financial liability.

On derecognition of a financial liability in its entirety or partially, the difference between the carrying amount of the part derecognised and the consideration paid (including any non-cash asset transferred or new financial liability assumed) is recognised in profit or loss for the period.

9.4.3 Equity instruments

Equity instruments are any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the Group after deducting all of its liabilities. Equity instruments issued (including refinancing), repurchased, sold or cancelled by the Group are treated as changes in equity. Changes in fair value of equity instruments is not recognised by the Group. Transaction costs related to equity transactions are deducted from equity.

The Group recognises the distribution to holders of the equity instruments as profit distribution, dividends paid do not affect total amount of shareholders' equity.

(III) SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES (Continued)

9. Financial Instruments (Continued)

9.5 Derivative instruments and embedding derivatives

Derivative instruments including forward foreign exchange contracts, currency swap contracts and interest rate swap contracts, etc. Derivatives are initially measured at fair value on the signing dates of the relevant contracts and subsequently measured at fair value. The changes in fair value of the derivatives are recognised in profit or loss for the period.

For the hybrid contract comprised of embedded derivatives and master contract, if the master contract belongs to financial assets, the Group shall apply the hybrid contract as a whole to the accounting standards on the classification of financial assets rather than split embedded derivatives from the hybrid contract.

The Group will split the embed derivatives from the hybrid contract to treat as a stand-alone derivative instrument if the master contract included in the hybrid contract does not belong to financial assets, and the following conditions are met:

  • (1) The economic characteristics of the embedded derivatives are not closely related to the economic characteristics and risk of the master contract.
  • (2) The stand-alone instrument which has the same terms of embedded derivatives conforms to the definition of derivative instruments.
  • (3) The hybrid contract is not measured at fair value through profit or loss for the period.

Where an embedded derivative is split from a hybrid contract, the Group performs accounting treatment for the master contract of the hybrid contract in accordance with applicable accounting standards. Where the Group is unable to measure the fair value of an embedded derivative reliably in accordance with the terms and conditions of the embedded derivative, the fair value of such embedded derivative is determined as the difference between the fair value of the hybrid contract and that of the master contract. Where the fair value of such embedded derivative on the acquisition date or the subsequent balance sheet dates is still unable to be measured separately, the Group designates the hybrid contract in a whole into the financial instrument at fair value through profit or loss for the period.

9.6 Offsetting financial assets and financial liabilities

Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount is presented in balance sheet when the Group has a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised financial assets and financial liabilities, and the Group intends to settle with net amount, or realise the financial asset and settle the financial liability simultaneously. Otherwise, the financial assets and financial liabilities will be presented separately in balance sheet and will not be mutually set off.

9.7 Convertible bonds

The convertible bonds issued by the Group which contain liabilities and conversion options, shall be split upon initial recognition and recognised separately. Of which, conversion options for settlement of fixed amount of cash or other financial assets in exchange for fixed amount of self-equity instruments is accounted for as equity instruments.

On initial recognition, the fair value of the liability portion is determined at current market prices similar to those of bonds without conversion options. The difference between the overall issue price of convertible bonds and the fair value of the liability portion shall be taken as the value of the conversion options of the bondholders to convert the bonds into equity instruments and recorded in other equity instruments.

In the subsequent measurement, the liability portion of convertible bonds are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method. The value of the conversion option divided into equity instruments continues to be retained in the equity instruments. No loss or gain is incurred when a convertible bond expires or is converted.

The transaction costs incurred in issuing convertible bonds shall be apportioned between the liability component and the equity component according to their respective fair value. Transaction costs related to the equity component are directly recorded in the equity instruments; transaction costs related to the liability component are recorded in the carrying amount of the liability and amortized over the term of the convertible bonds using the effective interest rate method.

10. Financing receivables

For notes receivable classified as at FVTOCI, the portion within one year (inclusive) from the date of acquisition is presented as financing receivables. For details of the relevant accounting policies, please refer to Note (III) 9.1, 9.2 and 9.3.

(III) SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES (Continued)

11. Inventories

11.1 Classification of inventories

The Group's inventories mainly include raw materials, low-value consumables, works in progress and finished goods, etc. Inventories are initially measured at cost, which comprises purchase costs, processing costs and other expenses incurred in bringing the inventories to their current location and condition.

11.2 Pricing of inventories delivered

The actual cost of inventories upon delivery is calculated using the weighted average method.

11.3 Determination of net realisable value of inventories

At the balance sheet date, inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realisable value. If the net realisable value is below the cost of inventories, a provision for impairment of inventories is made.

Net realisable value is the estimated selling price of inventories in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs to completion, estimated selling expenses and related taxes. Net realisable value of inventories is determined on the basis of clear evidence obtained, taking into account the purpose of holding inventories and the effect of events after the balance sheet date.

Provision for impairment of inventories is made based on the excess of cost over net realisable value of individual inventory item.

After the provision for impairment of inventories is made, if the circumstances that previously caused inventories to be written-off no longer exist so that the net realisable value of inventories is higher than their carrying amount, the original provision for impairment of inventories is reversed and the reversed amount is recognised in profit or loss for the period.

11.4 Inventory system

The inventory system is a perpetual inventory system.

11.5 Amortization of low-value consumables

Low-value consumables are amortised using one-off write-off method.

(III) SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES (Continued)

12. Assets Held for Sale

A non-current asset or disposal group is classified as asset held for sale when the carrying amount of the asset is recovered principally through a sale transaction (including an exchange of non-monetary assets with commercial substance) rather than through continuing use.

Non-current assets or disposal groups held for sale are required to satisfy the following conditions: (1) an immediate sale can be made under the current conditions according to the practice of selling such assets or disposal groups in similar transactions; and (2) it is highly probable that a sale will occur, that is, the Group has made a resolution on a sale plan and obtained a definite purchase commitment, and the sale is expected to be completed within one year.

The Group measures non-current assets or disposal groups held for sale at the lower of carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell. If the carrying amount is higher than the net amount of the fair value less costs to sell, the carrying amount shall be written-off to the fair value less costs to sell, the amount written-off is recognised as an impairment loss of assets and included in profit or loss for the period, and the provision for impairment of assets held for sale is made simultaneously. Where there is an increase in the net amount of fair value less costs to sell of non-current assets held for sale at the subsequent balance sheet date, the amount previously written-off should be recovered and reversed in the amount of impairment loss recognised for the assets after being classified as held for sale, and the reversed amount is included in profit or loss for the period.

Depreciation or amortization shall not be made for non-current assets in the non-current assets or disposal groups held for sale. The interest of liabilities and other expenses in the disposal groups held for sale shall be continuously recognised.

The equity investments in associates are classified in whole or in part as assets held for sale. The part of such equity investments in associates classified as held for sale will cease to calculate using equity method from the date of being classified as held for sale.

13. Long-term Equity Investments

13.1 Basis of determination of joint control and significant influence

Control refers to the power of investor over the investee, who enjoys variable returns by participating in the relevant activities of the investee, and has the ability to use the power over the investee to influence the amount of returns. Joint control refers to the joint control over an arrangement according to relevant agreements, and the related activities of the arrangement can only be decided after the consensus of the parties sharing the control. Significant influence refers to the power to participate in the decisionmaking of the financial and operational policies of the investee, but cannot control or jointly control the formulation of these policies with other parties. In determining whether it is possible to exercise control over or exert significant influence over the invested entities, it has taken into account the potential voting right factors such as the current convertible bonds and the current executable warrants of the invested entities held by the investor and other parties.

(III) SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES (Continued)

13. Long-term Equity Investments (Continued)

13.2 Determination of initial investment cost

For a long-term equity investment acquired through a business combination involving enterprises under common control, the initial investment cost is the attributable share of the carrying amount of the owners' equity of the acquiree in the consolidated financial statements of the ultimate controlling party at the date of combination. The difference between the initial investment cost of a long-term equity investment and the carrying amount of cash paid, non-cash assets transferred and liabilities assumed is adjusted to capital reserve. If the capital reserve is insufficient to offset the difference, the retained earnings shall be adjusted. Where the consideration of the combination is satisfied by the issue of equity securities, the initial investment cost is the attributable share of the carrying amount of the owners' equity of the acquiree in the consolidated financial statements of the ultimate controlling party at the date of combination, and the total nominal value of the shares issued is recognised as share capital. The difference between the initial investment cost of a long-term equity investment and the total nominal value of the shares issued is adjusted to capital reserve. If the capital reserve is insufficient to offset the difference, the retained earnings shall be adjusted.

For a long-term equity investment acquired through a business combination not involving enterprises under common control, the initial investment cost is the combination cost at the date of acquisition.

The intermediary expenses incurred by the acquirer or purchaser in respect of auditing, legal services, valuation and consultancy services, etc. and other related administrative expenses attributable to the business combination are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they are incurred.

The long-term equity investment acquired other than through a business combination is initially measured at its cost.

13.3 Subsequent measurement and recognition of profit or loss

13.3.1 Long-term equity investments accounted for using the cost method

Long-term equity investments in subsidiaries are accounted for using the cost method in the financial statements of the Company. A subsidiary is an investee that is controlled by the Group.

Long-term equity investments accounted for using the cost method are measured at initial investment cost. When additional investment is made or the investment is recouped, the cost of the longterm equity investment is adjusted accordingly. The current investment income is recognised in accordance with the cash dividends or profit distributions declared by the investee.

13.3 Subsequent measurement and recognition of profit or loss (Continued)

13.3.2 Long-term equity investment accounted for by equity method

The Group's investment in associates is accounted for by equity method. Associates refer to invested entities to which the Group can exert a significant influence.

When adopting equity method accounting, if the initial investment cost of long-term equity investment exceeds the share of the fair value of identifiable net assets of the invested entity at the investment date, no adjustment shall be made to the initial investment cost of long-term equity investment. If the initial investment cost is less than the share of the fair value of identifiable net assets of the invested entity at the investment date, the difference shall be charged to current profit or loss, and the long-term equity investment cost shall be adjusted at the same time.

When adopting equity method accounting, the investment income and other comprehensive income shall be recognised separately according to the share of net profit or loss and other comprehensive income realised by the invested entity, and the carrying amount of long-term equity investment shall be adjusted at the same time; the carrying amount of long-term equity investment shall be reduced accordingly by calculating the portion to be enjoyed according to the profit or cash dividend declared by the invested entity; the carrying amount of long-term equity investment shall be adjusted and included in the capital reserve for other changes in the owner's rights and interests of the invested entity except net profit or loss, other comprehensive income and profit distribution. When recognising the share of the net profit or loss of the invested entity, the net profit of the invested entity shall be adjusted and recognised on the basis of the fair value of the identifiable assets of the invested entity at the acquisition date. If the accounting policies and periods adopted by the invested entity are inconsistent with those of the Company, the financial statements of the invested entity shall be adjusted in accordance with the accounting policies and period of the Company. The investment income and other comprehensive income shall be recognised accordingly. For transactions between the Group and associates, the assets invested or sold do not constitute business, and the unrealised gains and losses of internal transactions are offset by the shareholding attributable to the Group. On this basis, the investment gains and losses are recognised. However, the unrealised internal transaction losses between the Group and the invested entity shall not be offset if they belong to the impairment losses of the transferred assets.

The Group discontinues recognising its share of net losses of the invested entity after the carrying amount of the long-term equity investment together with any long-term interests that in substance form part of its net investment in the invested entity is reduced to zero. In addition, if the Group has incurred obligations to assume additional losses of the invested entity, estimated liability is recognised according to the expected obligation, and recorded as investment loss for the period. Where net profits are subsequently made by the invested entity, the Group resumes recognising its share of those profits only after its share of the profits exceeds the share of losses previously not recognised.

13.4 Disposal of long-term equity investments

On disposal of a long-term equity investment, the difference between the carrying amount and the actual purchase price is recognised in profit or loss for the period.

(III) SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES (Continued)

14. Investment Properties

Investment properties are properties held for the purpose of earning rentals or capital appreciation, or both. Investment properties include leased land use rights, land use rights held and prepared for transfer after appreciation, buildings leased out, etc.

Investment properties are initially measured at cost. Subsequent expenditures related to an investment property shall be included in cost of investment property only when the economic benefits associated with the asset will likely flow to the Group and its cost can be measured reliably. All other subsequent expenditures on an investment property shall be included in profit or loss for the current year when incurred.

The Group adopts the cost model for subsequent measurement of investment properties, and investment properties are depreciated or amortised based on the same policy consistent with houses and buildings or land use rights.

An investment property is derecognised upon disposal or when the investment property is permanently withdrawn from use and no future economic benefits are expected from its disposals.

When an investment property is sold, transferred, retired or damaged, the amount of any proceeds on disposal of the property net of the carrying amount and related taxes is recognised in profit or loss for the period.

Fixed assets are tangible assets that are held for use in the production of goods or supply of services, for rental to others, or for administrative purposes and have a useful life of more than one accounting year. A fixed asset is recognised only when the economic benefits associated with the asset are probable to flow to the Group and the cost of the asset can be measured reliably. Fixed assets are initially measured at cost.

Subsequent expenditures incurred for a fixed asset are included in the cost of the fixed asset if it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the asset will flow to the Group and the cost of the asset can be measured reliably, and the carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognised. Other subsequent expenditures other than the above are charged to profit or loss for the current period when incurred.

15.2 Depreciation methods

Fixed assets are depreciated using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives from the next month when they are available for intended use. The estimated useful lives, residual values and annual depreciation rates of each class of fixed assets are as follows:

Class Depreciation
period
(Years)
Residual
Value Rate
(%)
Annual
depreciation
rate (%)
Houses and buildings 20 years 5 4.75
Machinery and equipment 4–10 years 5 9.50–23.75
Transportation equipment 4–5 years 5 19.00–23.75
Other equipment 3–5 years 5 19.00–31.67

Estimated net residual value of a fixed asset is the estimated amount that the Group would currently obtain from disposal of the asset, after deducting the estimated costs of disposal, if the asset were already of the age and in the condition expected at the end of its useful life.

15.3 Other description

If a fixed asset is upon disposal or no future economic benefits are expected to be generated from its use or disposal, the fixed asset is derecognised. When a fixed asset is sold, transferred, retired or damaged, the amount of any proceeds on disposal of the asset net of the carrying amount and related taxes is recognised in profit or loss for the period.

The Group reviews the useful life, estimated net residual value of a fixed asset and the depreciation method applied at least at each financial year-end, and any change is accounted for as a change in accounting estimate.

16. Construction in Progress

Construction in progress is measured at actual cost, which includes various construction expenditures incurred during the construction period, capitalized borrowing costs before the construction is ready for its intended use and other relevant costs. Construction in progress is not depreciated. Construction in progress is transferred to fixed asset while it is ready for its intended use.

17. Borrowing Costs

The borrowing costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset are capitalised when expenditures for the asset are being incurred, borrowing costs are being incurred and activities relating to the acquisition, construction or production of the asset that are necessary to prepare the asset for its intended use or sale have commenced. The capitalisation of qualifying assets under construction or production ceases when the assets are ready for their intended use or sale. The remaining borrowing costs are recognised as expenses in the period in which they are incurred.

Where funds are borrowed under a special borrowing, the amount to be capitalised is the actual interest expense incurred on that borrowing for the period less any interest income earned from depositing the unused borrowing funds into bank or any investment income on the temporary investment of those funds. Where funds are borrowed under a general borrowing, the amount capitalised is determined by applying the weighted average of the excess amounts of cumulative expenditures on the asset over the special borrowings multiplied by the capitalization rate of the general borrowings used. The capitalization rate is determined based on the weighted average interest rate of the general borrowings. During the capitalisation period, the exchange differences on special foreign currency borrowings are all capitalised; the exchange differences on general-purpose foreign currency borrowings are recognised in profit or loss for the period.

18. Intangible Assets

18.1 Intangible assets

Intangible assets include software, pollutant discharge rights, mining rights and land use rights, etc.

The intangible assets shall be initially measured at cost. When an intangible asset with a finite useful life is available for use, its original cost less net residual value and any accumulated impairment losses is amortised over its estimated useful life using the straight-line method. Intangible assets are not amortised while their useful lives are assessed to be indefinite. The amortization method, useful life and estimated net residual value rate of each class of intangible assets are as follows:

Class Amortization method Useful life
(Years)
Residual
Value Rate (%)
Land use rights Straight line method 42–50 years
Pollutant discharge rights Straight line method 5–20 years
Mining rights Output method
Software Straight line method 5–10 years

At the end of the year, the useful life and amortization method of intangible assets with finite useful lives are reviewed and adjusted if necessary.

For the impairment test of intangible assets, please refer to Note (III).19. "Impairment of Long-term Assets".

18.2 Internal research and development expenditures

Expenditures incurred in the research stage are recognised in profit or loss for the period.

Expenditures incurred in the development stage are recognised as intangible assets only when all of the following conditions are satisfied, and the expenditures in the development stage that does not meet all of the following conditions are recognized in profit or loss for the period:

  • (1) The technical feasibility of completing the intangible asset so that it will be available for use or sale;
  • (2) The intention to complete the intangible asset and use or sell it;
  • (3) The way in which the intangible asset generates economic benefits, including the ability to prove that there is a market for the product produced using the intangible asset or the intangible asset itself has a market, and prove its usefulness if the intangible asset will be used internally;
  • (4) Adequate technical, financial and other resources to complete the development of the intangible asset and to use or sell the intangible asset;
  • (5) The ability to measure reliably the expenditures attributable to the intangible asset during its development.

If the expenditures cannot be distinguished between the research stage and development stage, the Group recognises all of them in profit or loss for the period. The cost of the intangible asset formed by internal development activities only includes the total expenditure incurred from the time when the capitalization conditions are met to the time when the intangible asset reaches the intended purpose. The expenditures that have been expensed into profit and loss before the capitalization conditions are met for the same intangible asset in the development process will not be adjusted.

(III) SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES (Continued)

19. Impairment of Long-term Assets

The Group assesses at each balance sheet date whether there is any indication that long-term equity investments, investment properties, fixed assets, construction in progress measured using the cost method and intangible assets with finite useful lives may be impaired. If an impairment indication exists, the recoverable amount is estimated. Intangible assets with indefinite useful life and intangible assets not yet available for use are tested for impairment annually, irrespective of whether there is any indication that the assets may be impaired.

If the estimated recoverable amount of an asset is based on a single asset and it is difficult to estimate the recoverable amount of a single asset, the recoverable amount of the asset group shall be determined on the basis of the asset group to which the asset belongs. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset's or asset Group's fair value less costs of disposal and the present value of the estimated future cash flows.

If the recoverable amount of an asset is less than its carrying amount, a provision for impairment of the asset is made based on the difference and recognised in profit or loss for the period.

An impairment loss once recognised shall not be reversed in a subsequent accounting period.

20. Long-term Deferred Expenses

Long-term deferred expenses are expenses which have incurred but shall be amortised over the current period and subsequent periods of more than one year. Long-term deferred expenses are amortised evenly over the estimated benefit period.

21. Contract Liabilities

A contract liability represents the Group's obligation to transfer goods or services to a customer for which the Group has received consideration (or an amount of consideration is due) from the customer. Contract assets and contract liabilities under common contract are presented on a net basis.

22. Employee Compensation

22.1 Accounting for short-term employee compensation

In the accounting period in which an employee has rendered services, the Group recognises the shortterm employee compensation actually incurred as liabilities, and includes in profit or loss for the period or related asset costs. The employee benefits expenses incurred by the Group are recognised in profit or loss for the period or related asset costs based on the actual amount when actually incurred. The nonmonetary employee benefits expenses are measured at fair value.

In determining the corresponding amount of employee compensation, social security contributions such as medical insurance, work injury insurance and maternity insurance and housing funds, as well as labour union running expenses and employee education expenses provided by the Group are calculated according to the prescribed provision bases and percentages during the accounting period in which the employees provide services to the Group, and the corresponding liabilities are recognised, and included in profit or loss for the period or related asset costs.

For the year ended 31 December 2020

(III) SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES (Continued)

22. Employee Compensation (Continued)

22.2 Accounting for post-employment benefits

Post-employment benefits are all defined contribution plans.

In the accounting period in which an employee has rendered service, the Group recognises the amount payable under the defined contribution plan as a liability, and includes in profit or loss for the period or related asset costs.

22.3 Accounting for termination benefits

When the Group provides termination benefits to employees, employee compensation liabilities arising from termination benefits are recognised in profit or loss at the earlier of the following dates: when the Group cannot unilaterally withdraw the termination benefits provided because of an employee termination plan or a layoff proposal, or when the Group confirms the costs or expenses related to the restructuring involving the payment of dismiss benefits.

23. Provisions

Obligations related to product quality guarantee contingencies are recognised as provisions when the Group has a current obligation, it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation, and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably.

On the balance sheet date, provision shall be measured at the best estimate of the expenditure for settling the current obligation, taking into account the risk and uncertainty and time value of money and other factors related to the contingencies. Where the effect of the time value of money is material, the best estimate of the expenditure is determined by discounting the expected future cash outflows.

24. Share-based Payments

The Group's share-based payments are transactions in which equity instruments are granted to employees in exchange for services rendered by employees or for the assumption of liabilities based on equity instruments. The Group's share-based payments are equity-settled share-based payments.

(III) SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES (Continued)

24. Share-based Payments (Continued)

24.1 Equity settled share-based payments

Equity-settled share-based payments to employees

Equity-settled share-based payments to employees in exchange for services rendered by employees are measured at the fair value of the equity instruments granted to employees at the grant date.

At each balance sheet date during the pending period, the Group, based on the latest subsequent information such as the latest update on the change in the number of entitled employees, makes best estimates to adjust the expected number of equity instruments that can be vested. The effect of the above estimate is included in relevant costs or expenses for the period and the capital reserve is adjusted accordingly.

24.2 Accounting treatment in relation to implementation, modification and termination of share-based payment plan

When the Group modifies the share-based payment plan, and if such modification increases the fair value of the equity instruments granted, the increase in services received will be recognised accordingly following the increase in fair value of the equity instruments. If the modification increases the number of the equity instruments granted, the increase in fair value of the equity instruments will be recognised accordingly as the increase in services received. The increase in fair value of the equity instruments refers to the difference in fair value on the date of modification before and after the modification in respect of the equity instruments. If the modification reduces the total fair value of the share-based payments or adopts any form that is unfavorable to employees to modify the terms and conditions of the share-based payment plan, accounting treatment will be continued to be conducted in respect of the services received and the modification will be deemed to have never occurred, unless the Group had cancelled part or all of the equity instruments granted.

During the pending period, if the equity instruments granted are cancelled, the Group will undertake an accelerated vesting in respect of the cancelled equity instruments that had been granted, include the remaining amount that shall be recognised during the pending period in the profit and loss for the period immediately and recognise capital reserve accordingly. Where employees or other parties are permitted to choose to fulfill non-vesting conditions but have not fulfilled during the pending period, the Group will treat the granted equity instruments as cancelled.

For the year ended 31 December 2020

(III) SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES (Continued)

25. Revenue

The Group's revenue is mainly derived from the sales of glass products, which mainly include photovoltaic glass, household glass, architectural glass, float glass and mining products, etc. Revenue from other business mainly represents rental income from properties and sales income of materials.

The Group recognises revenue based on the transaction price allocated to such performance obligation when a performance obligation is satisfied, i.e. when "control" of the goods or services underlying the particular performance obligation is transferred to the customer. A performance obligation represents the commitment that a good and service that is distinct shall be transferred by the Group to the customer. The transaction price is the amount of consideration to which the Group expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring promised goods or services to a customer, excluding amounts collected on behalf of third parties and amounts expected to be refunded to a customer.

For the performance obligations to be performed during a certain period of time, the Group recognises revenue over time by reference to the progress of a performance obligation if one of the following criteria is met: (1) the customer receives and consumes the economic benefits brought by the Group while performing obligations; (2) the customer can control the goods under construction during the performance of the Group; (3) the goods produced during the performance of the Group have irreplaceable uses, and the Group has the right to receive payment for the part of the completed performance so far throughout the contract period. Otherwise, the Group will recognise revenue at the time point when the customer obtains control over relevant goods or services.

26. Government Grants

Government grants are transfer of monetary assets and non-monetary assets from the government to the Group at no consideration. A government grant is recognised only when the Group can comply with the conditions attaching to the grant and the Group will receive the grant.

If a government grant is in the form of monetary asset, it shall be measured at the amount received or receivable.

26.1 Judgement basis and accounting treatment of government grants related to assets

For details, please see Note (VI)32 for the Group's government grants related to assets. Such grants are government grants as they related to fixed assets that were built or acquired.

A government grant related to assets is recognised as deferred income and included in current profit or loss over the useful life of the related asset using the straight-line method.

26. Government Grants (Continued)

26.2 Judgement basis and accounting treatment of government grants related to revenue

Please refer to Note (VI) 61 for details of the grants related to revenue of the Group. As they are directly related to the expenses incurred during the period, such government grants are government grants related to revenue.

A government grant related to revenue used to compensate for relevant costs, expenses and losses in subsequent periods is recognised as deferred income, and is included in profit or loss for the period directly over the periods in which the relevant costs, expenses or losses are recognised. The government grants related to revenue used to compensate for relevant costs, expenses and losses already incurred is included in profit or loss for the period directly.

The government grants related to the Group's daily activities are included in other income/offset the relevant costs and expenses according to the nature of economic business. Otherwise, government grants are included in non-operating income or expense.

27. Safety Production Expenses

Pursuant to the requirements of the Administrative Measures for the Withdrawal and Use of Safety Production Expenses of Enterprises issued by the Ministry of Finance and the State Administration of Work Safety, the Group has made provision for safety production expenses of RMB2 per ton based on the output of raw ore of open-pit non-metallic mines. The safety production expenses are specifically used for the improvement, transformation and maintenance of the Group's safety production conditions.

The provision for safety production expenses is directly included in the cost of the relevant products or the expenses for the period, and is presented separately in the "special reserve" item under the owners' equity. When safety production expenses is being used according to the prescribed scope, the expense expenditure is used to directly offset against "special reserve"; as for the capital expenditure, the expenditure incurred is firstly collected through "construction in progress" item and recognised as fixed assets when the safety project is completed and ready for its intended use; at the same time, the "special reserve" will be written down based on the cost of the fixed asset formed and the accumulated depreciation of the same amount will be recognised, no depreciation will be provided for the fixed assets in subsequent periods.

28. Deferred Income Tax Assets/Deferred Income Tax Liabilities

Income tax expenses comprise current income tax expense and deferred income tax expense.

28.1 Current income tax

At the balance sheet date, current income tax liabilities (or assets) for the current and prior periods are measured at the amount expected to be paid (or recovered) according to the requirements of tax laws.

28.2 Deferred income tax assets and deferred income tax liabilities

For temporary differences between the carrying amount of certain assets or liabilities and their tax base, or between the carrying amount of those items that are not recognised as assets or liabilities but the tax base can be determined according to tax laws and their tax base, deferred income tax assets and deferred income tax liabilities are recognised using the balance sheet liability method.

Deferred income tax is generally recognised for all temporary differences. However, as for deductible temporary differences, deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which the deductible temporary differences can be utilised. In addition, for temporary differences associated with the initial recognition of goodwill and the initial recognition of an asset or liability arising from a transaction (not a business combination) that affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit (or deductible loss) at the time of transaction, no deferred tax asset or liability is recognised.

For deductible losses and tax credits in subsequent years that can be carried forward, deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the deductible losses and tax credits can be utilised.

Deferred income tax liabilities are recognised for taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, except where the Group is able to control the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future. Deferred income tax assets arising from deductible temporary differences associated with the investments in subsidiaries are only recognised to the extent that it is probable that there will be sufficient taxable profits against which to utilise the benefits of the temporary differences and they are expected to reverse in the foreseeable future.

(III) SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES (Continued)

28. Deferred Income Tax Assets/Deferred Income Tax Liabilities (Continued)

28.2 Deferred income tax assets and deferred income tax liabilities (Continued)

At the balance sheet date, deferred income tax assets and deferred income tax liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realised or the liability is settled according to the requirements of tax laws.

Current and deferred income tax expenses or income are recognised in profit or loss for the period, except when they arise from transactions or events that are directly recognised in other comprehensive income or in shareholders' equity, in which case they are recognised in other comprehensive income or in shareholders' equity; and when they arise from business combinations, in which case they are adjusted to the carrying amount of goodwill.

The carrying amount of a deferred tax asset is reviewed at each balance sheet date and is reduced to the extent that it is probable that sufficient taxable profits will not be available to offset the benefits of deferred income tax assets. Any such reduction is reversed to the extent that it becomes probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available.

28.3 Offsetting of income tax

When the Group has a legal right to settle on a net basis and intends either to settle on a net basis or to realise the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously, current tax assets and current tax liabilities are offset and presented on a net basis.

When the Group has a legal right to settle current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis, and deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on either the same taxable entity or different taxable entities which intend either to settle current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis or to realise the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously, in each future period in which significant amounts of deferred tax assets or liabilities are expected to be reversed, deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset and presented on a net basis.

29. Lease

Lease is defined as a contract that the lessor transfers the right-of-use of assets to the lessee within a certain period of time in exchange for consideration.

For a contract entered into or changed after the date of initial adoption, the Group assesses whether the contract is or contains lease on the commencement or changing date of the contract. The Group does not reassess unless the terms and conditions of the contract are changed.

29. Lease (Continued)

29.1 The Group as lessee

29.1.1 Separation of leases

For a contract that contains one or more lease or non-lease components, the Group separates each individual lease component from non-lease components and allocates the consideration in the contract to each lease component on the basis of the stand-alone price of the lease component and the aggregate stand-alone price of the non-lease components.

29.1.2 Right-of-use assets

Except for short-term leases and leases of low value assets, the Group recognises right-of-use assets at the commencement date of the lease. The lease commencement date refers to the starting date for the lessor to provide leased assets for use by the Group. Right-of-use assets are initially measured at cost. Such cost includes:

  • the amount of the initial measurement of the lease liability;
  • any lease payments made at or before the commencement date, less the relative amount of any lease incentives enjoyed if there are lease incentives;
  • any initial direct costs incurred by the Group;
  • an estimate of costs to be incurred by the Group in dismantling and removing the underlying assets, restoring the site on which it is located or restoring the underlying asset to the condition required by the terms of the lease.

The Group accrues depreciation for the right-of-use assets according to the relevant depreciation regulations of Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises No. 4 – Fixed Assets. Right-of-use assets are depreciated within the remaining useful lives when the Group is reasonably certain to obtain the ownership of leased assets at the end of the lease term. The depreciation is provided during the period between the lease term and the remaining useful lives of the leased assets if it is not.

The Group determines whether the right-of-use assets are impaired and performs accounting treatment for recognised impairment loss according to the relevant regulations of Accounting Standard for Business Enterprise No. 8 – Impairment of Assets.

(III) SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES (Continued)

29. Lease (Continued)

29.1 The Group as lessee (Continued)

29.1.3 Lease liabilities

Except for short-term leases, the Group initially measures the lease liability at the present value of lease payments that are unpaid at the lease commencement date. In calculating the present value of lease payments, the Group uses the interest rate implicit in the lease as discount rate, and adopts the incremental borrowing rate if the interest rate implicit in the lease is not readily determinable.

The lease payments refer to the amount paid by the Group to the lessor in relation to the right to use the leased asset during the lease term, including:

  • fixed payments and in-substance fixed payments, less the relevant amount of any lease incentives if there are lease incentives;
  • variable lease payment that are based on an index or a rate;
  • the exercise price of a purchase option reasonably certain to be exercised by the Group;
  • required payments that the lease term reflects for the Group exercising the option to terminate;
  • estimated payable amounts based on the residual value guarantees provided by the Group.

The Group calculates the interest expense of lease liabilities for each period of the lease term at a fixed periodic interest rate and includes it in profit and loss for the period or related asset costs after the lease commencement date.

29.1.4 Short-term leases and low-value leases

For short-term leases of machinery and equipment, the Group chooses the right-of-use assets and lease liabilities that are not certain to use. Short-term lease is defined as a lease has a lease term of no more than 12 months and excludes a purchase option from the lease commencement date. The Group will include the lease payments for short-term leases in profit or loss for the period or related asset costs using the straight-line method.

29.2 The Group as lessor

29.2.1 Classification of leases

Leases are classified as finance leases whenever the terms of the lease transfer substantially almost all the risks and rewards of ownership to the lessee. All other leases are classified as operating leases.

29.3 The Group as lessor under operating leases

The Group recognises lease payments for operating leases as rental income by using the straight-line method in each period of the lease term. Initial direct costs related to the Group's operating leases are capitalised when incurred, are allocated on the same basis as rental income over the lease term and are charged to profit or loss for the period in stages.

30. Critical Judgements in Applying Accounting Policies and Key Assumptions and Uncertainties in Accounting Estimates

In the process of applying the accounting policies, which are described in the notes above, the Group is required to make judgments, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of items in the financial statements that cannot be measured accurately, due to the inherent uncertainties of the operating activities. These judgments, estimates and assumptions are based on historical experiences of the Group's management as well as other factors that are considered to be relevant. The actual results may be different from the estimates of the Group.

The Group regularly reviews the above judgments, estimates and assumptions on the basis of going concern. Where the changes in accounting estimates only affect the period of change, the impact is recognised in the period of change. Where the changes affect both current and future periods, the impact is recognised in the period of the change and future periods.

At the balance sheet date, key assumptions and uncertainties in accounting estimates that are probable to cause a material adjustment to the carrying amount of assets and liabilities are mainly:

Impairment of trade receivables

The Group applies significant accounting estimates when assessing the expected recoverable amount of trade receivables, and assesses expected credit losses and calculates credit impairment with reference to the historical default, current credit risk status and forecast of future economic status. As at 31 December 2020, expected credit losses of trade receivables of the Group was RMB81,253,434.19 (as at 31 December 2019: RMB50,357,104.89).

(III) SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES (Continued)

30. Critical Judgements in Applying Accounting Policies and Key Assumptions and Uncertainties in Accounting Estimates (Continued)

Impairment of fixed assets

The management of the Group regularly reviews whether there are any indications of impairment for fixed assets and recognises an impairment loss if the carrying amount of an asset is lower than its recoverable amount. The Group conducts impairment test on fixed assets whenever there is an indication that the fixed assets may be impaired. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset's fair value less costs of disposal and the present value of its future cash flows. In determining the recoverable amount of fixed assets, the management of the Group has taken into account factors including future profitability, growth rate and discount rate, etc. As at 31 December 2020, the balance of the Group's provision for impairment of fixed assets was RMB59,162,130.14 (as at 31 December 2019: RMB16,093,080.60).

Recognition of deferred income tax assets

As at 31 December 2020, the Group has recognised deferred income tax assets of RMB25,900,515.11 (as at 31 December 2019: RMB18,458,589.23) which are included in the balance sheet. Deferred income tax assets arise from the actual profits and temporary differences are mainly based on the actual tax rates utilized in the upcoming years. In cases where the actual future profits generated are less than expected, a reversal of deferred income tax assets recognised may arise, which would be recognised in the income statement for the period in which such a reversal takes place. In the opinion of the management of the Group, it is uncertain whether it is probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available in the future for certain subsidiaries, and therefore, as at 31 December 2020, the deductible losses and other temporary differences in relation to the unrecognised deferred income tax assets amounted to RMB79,303,336.30 in aggregate (as at 31 December 2019: RMB27,982,696.03).

The Group always measures the loss provision of receivables at an amount equal to the lifetime expected credit loss ("ECL") and calculates its ECL based on the comparison table of credit risk rating and default loss rate. The default loss rate is calculated based on the actual credit loss experience of the past three years, and adjusted according to the differences among the economic conditions during the historical data collection period, the current economic conditions and the economic conditions within the expected life assumed by the Group. According to the Group's assessment of credit risk, there is no significant difference in the loss of different customer segments, therefore there is no further distinction between different customer segments when calculating the loss provision according to the credit rating.

In the current year, the Company has made classification on bank acceptance bills, and separately managed bank acceptance bills issued by banks with higher credit rating, so as to endorse or discount them when necessary. Since the business model of holding these specific bank acceptance bills aims at both collecting contractual cash flows and selling such financial assets, they are classified as financial assets at FVTOCI, and are listed as financing receivables.

On 31 December 2020, the Group measured the bad debt provision according to the lifetime ECL. The Group believes that there is no significant credit risk in the bank acceptance bills held by it, and there will be no significant loss due to bank default.

The risks related to financial instruments and the risk management policies for risk mitigation of the Group are stated as following. The management of the Company will management and supervise these risk exposures in order to ensure that proper measures are taken expeditiously.

The Group adopts sensitivity analysis to analyze the potential impact of possible reasonable changes in risk variables on current profits and losses or owner's equity. As risk variables seldom change alone and the correlation between variables greatly accounts for the final effect from a change in a certain risk variable, the following assume that the change of each variable is independent.

(VII) FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISK MANAGEMENT (Continued)

1. Risk Management Objectives and Policies

The risk management objectives of the Group are to obtain an appropriate balance between risk and return, to reduce negative effects caused by operating results to a lowest level, and to maximize interest of shareholders and other equity investors. Based on these objectives, the basic strategies are to confirm and analyze all potential risks related to the Group, to set appropriate risk limitations, to manage and monitor all risks timely and effectively, and to control the risks within a limited scope.

1.1 Market risk

The Group's business has caused its financial risks due to the changes in interest rates and foreign exchange rates. The Group believes that the above risks during the year or the manner in which they are managed and measured have not been changed compared to the previous year.

1.1.1. Foreign exchange risk

Foreign exchange risk refers to the risk of loss arising from the losses in exchange rate. The operating economic environment of the Company and its major subsidiaries is China and Vietnam whose functional currencies are RMB and VND. Some of the Group's transactions are settled in currencies other than functional currencies such as USD, EUR, JPY, HKD, GBP and AUD, and are subject to the resulting foreign exchange risk.

As at 31 December 2020, the Group's foreign currency assets and liabilities are set out below. The foreign exchange risk arising from the assets and liabilities of these foreign currency balances (see Notes (VI), 60) may impact the Group's operating results.

The Group closely monitors exchange rate movements and formulates relevant hedging policies to reduce foreign exchange risk. Foreign exchange forward contracts can be used to eliminate foreign exchange risk. For the year ended 31 December 2020, the Company entered into contracts in relation to foreign currency assets of RMB199,661,940.00 (equivalent to USD30,600,000.00).

Sensitivity analysis of foreign exchange risk

The following table details the sensitivity of this Group to 5% of the change of foreign exchanges rate from functional currency of related group entities (including: RMB and VND) to other foreign currencies. Internal reports to senior management adopt such ratio of 5% which represents the estimation of the management on the possible changes of foreign exchange rate. The Group's foreign exchange risk sensitivity analysis at the reporting date includes only monetary items denominated in foreign currencies and does not consider the impact of the derivative financial instruments purchased. Positive refers to an increase in profit before tax due to exchange rate changes, and negative refers to a decrease in profit before tax due to exchange rate changes.

For the year ended 31 December 2020

(VII) FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISK MANAGEMENT (Continued)

1. Risk Management Objectives and Policies (Continued)

1.1 Market risk (Continued)

1.1.2. Interest rate risk

The Group's risks to the changes in cash flows of financial instruments arising from changes in interest rates is primarily related to floating rate bank borrowings and floating rate bank deposits. As at 31 December 2020, the Group's floating borrowings amounted to RMB1,987,233,870.02 (31 December 2019: RMB1,523,254,636.60) (please refer to Notes (VI), 20 and 29). The management of the Group closely monitors interest rate risk. The Group's policy is to maintain the floating interest rate of these loans. At present, there is no interest rate swap arrangement.

Sensitivity analysis of interest rate risk

The sensitivity analysis below is prepared based on the interest rate risk faced by non-derivative instruments at the end of each reporting period and the changes in regulations at the beginning of the relevant financial year and remains the same during each reporting period (for instruments that carry interest at market rates). When reporting interest rate risk to the management, the assumption of a 100 basis point increase or decrease for bank borrowings with floating interest rate provisions and a 50 basis point increase or decrease for bank deposits represents the management's estimates of possible changes in deposit-related interest rates.

If the bank borrowing interest rate rises by 100 basis points, the bank deposit interest rate rises by 50 basis points, and all other variables remain unchanged, the Group's net profit increase and decrease for the year ended 31 December 2020 (excluding the impact of interest capitalization) is as follows:

Closing balance Opening balance
Decrease in net profit 10,853,051.15 9,635,308.11
Decrease in shareholders' equity 10,853,051.15 9,635,308.11

If the bank borrowing interest rate drops by 100 basis points, the bank deposit interest rate decreases by 50 basis points, and all other variables remain unchanged, the annual net profit and year-end shareholders' equity will increase by the same amount as described above.

The management believes that the above sensitivity analysis does not represent interest rate risk because the year-end risk exposure does not reflect the risk exposure for the year.

(VII) FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISK MANAGEMENT (Continued)

1. Risk Management Objectives and Policies (Continued)

1.2 Credit risk

As at 31 December 2020, the maximum credit risk exposure that may cause the Group's credit losses is mainly due to the loss of the Group's financial assets caused by the failure of the other party to perform its obligations and the financial guarantees undertaken by the Group (without considering available collateral or other credit enhancements), specifically: cash at bank and on hand (Note (VI), 1), bills receivable (Note (VI), 4), trade receivables (Notes (VI), 5) financing receivables (Note (VI), 6) other receivables (Note (VI)), 8), etc., and derivative financial assets that are not included in the scope of impairment assessment (Note (VI), 3), etc. At the balance sheet date, the carrying amount of the Group's financial assets has represented its maximum credit risk exposure.

In order to reduce credit risk, the Group has established a team responsible for determining the credit limits and conducting credit approval. At the same time, the Group performs other monitoring procedures to ensure that necessary measures are taken to recover overdue claims. In addition, the Group reviews the recovery of financial assets on each balance sheet date to ensure that adequate credit loss provisions are made for the relevant financial assets. As a result, the management of the Group believes that the credit risk assumed by the Group has been significantly reduced.

The Group's cash at bank and on hand are deposited in banks with higher credit ratings, so cash at bank and on hand is subject to lower credit risk.

As at 31 December 2020, the Group's accounts receivable balance with the top five customers was RMB1,097,833,934.72 (31 December 2019: RMB728,885,564.42), accounting for 75% of the Group's account receivable balance (31 December 2019: 63%). In addition, the Group has no other significant credit risk exposure concentrated on a single financial asset or financial assets group with similar characteristics.

For the year ended 31 December 2020

(VII) FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISK MANAGEMENT (Continued)

1.3 Liquidity risk

In managing the liquidity risk, the Group maintains and monitors the cash and cash equivalents that the management considers adequate to meet the Group's operational needs and mitigate the impact of fluctuations in cash flows. The management of the Group closely monitors the liquidity situation and expects to have sufficient sources of financing to finance the Group's operations. The management of the Group believes that the Group does not have any significant liquidity risk.

According to the term to maturity of non-discounted and remaining contract obligations, the financial liabilities held by the Group are analyzed as below:

2. Transfer of Financial Assets

At the end of the year, the Group endorsed bills receivable classified as financing receivables of RMB706,981,322.62 (At the end of last year: RMB0.00) to its suppliers to pay the accounts payable; discounted bills receivable of RMB408,650,239.78 (At the end of last year: RMB0.00) to bank to obtain currency funds. The Group believes that the risk and rewards of the ownership of such endorsed or discounted bills receivable have been substantially transferred to the supplier or discounting bank, therefore derecognized such endorsed or discounted bills receivable. If the acceptor can't cash such notes, according to relevant laws and regulations of China, the Group is held jointly liable for such bills receivable. The Group believes that as the acceptor is of good reputation, there is minor risk of the acceptor's failure to cash the notes upon maturity. At the end of the year, if the acceptor fails to cash such notes upon maturity, i.e. the Group's maximum exposure to loss is equivalent to the amount that the Group should pay the supplier or discounting bank in respect of such endorsed or discounted notes. For all the bills receivable endorsed to suppliers or discounted to bank, the maturity is within 1 year after the end of reporting year.

At the end of the year, the Group endorsed the amount presented under bills receivable of RMB395,214,640.80 (At the end of last year: RMB1,040,614,593.75) to its suppliers to pay the accounts payable, and discounted bills receivable of RMB1,000,000.00 (At the end of last year: RMB341,723,029.12) to bank to obtain currency funds. The Group believes that it retains substantially all risk and rewards of the ownership of such endorsed or discounted bills receivable (including relevant risk of default), therefore continues to recognize such endorsed or discounted bills receivable as well as the carrying amount of relevant accounts payable that have been repaid. After the endorsement or discounting of bills receivable, the Group does not retain any right to use such endorsed or discounted notes, including selling, transferring or pledging such endorsed or discounted notes to any third party.

For the year ended 31 December 2020

The Company always measures the impairment allowance for receivables at an amount equal to lifetime ECL for the entire life period, and calculates its expected credit losses based on the comparison table for credit risk rating and default loss rate.The default loss rate is calculated based on the historical actual credit loss in the past 3 years, and it is adjusted based on the differences between the economic situation during the historical data collection period, the current economic situation and the economic situation that the Group believes to be during the expected life period. According to the Company's assessment on the credit risk, the losses incurred by different customer groups are not significantly different. Therefore, when calculating the impairment allowance based on credit risk, apart from the amounts due from subsidiaries, different customer groups are not further distinguished.

(3) Performance obligations

The Company's main business activities are the production and sales of glass products. The Company shall ship the product to the customer's designated location or the product shall be picked up by the customer. The product is still controlled by the Company before the customer's acceptance confirmation. Only when the customer receives the product and the qualified acceptance is made, the control of the product is transferred to the customer and the Group recognises the revenue. After the customer makes the acceptance, the customer has full rights to decide the selling manner and price of the goods, and assumes the primary responsibility and the risk of loss associated with the goods. The Company requires dealer customers to fully prepay the purchase payment before the delivery of the goods, and the normal credit period for direct sales customers is 30 to 120 days after the acceptance of the goods.

Since all sales of the Company are within one year, it is not necessary to disclose the transaction price allocated to the remaining performance obligations.
