  • (2) Increasing costs risk: If the price of raw materials increases significantly, it will affect the Company's product costs. In addition, the rising cost of labour and installation services may adversely affect the Company's profitability.
  • (3) Market risks brought about by trade barriers which may continue to increase: In order to protect their own economic interests, some countries and regions have imposed higher tariffs and compulsory certification, resulting in increased operating costs.
  • (4) Exchange rate fluctuation risk: If the RMB exchange rate fluctuates sharply, it will directly affect the cost competitiveness of the Company's export products, thereby affecting the profitability of its export business.

In the face of business risks, the Company will actively respond to the challenge by improving efficiency and reducing costs, optimising sales structure, strengthening cost control and other ways to ease the pressure of rising costs caused by rising raw material prices, etc.; by strengthening capital risk control, optimising account period management, reducing abnormal capital occupation and improving capital turnover efficiency; by firmly implementing the strategy of high-quality good products, focusing on long-term capacity building, building product power and market power, etc., to build up the Company's sustainable growth capacity and ensure the Company's sustainable, healthy and stable development.

I. COMPANY PROFILE

Hisense Home Appliances Group Company Limited (hereinafter referred to as the "Company", collectively referred to as the "Group" when including subsidiaries), formerly known as Guangdong Shunde Pearl River factory(廣東順德珠江冰箱廠)was established in 1984. After the restructuring into a joint stock limited company in December 1992, the Company was renamed as Guangdong Kelon Electrical Holdings Company Limited.

5. Accounting treatment for business combinations involving entities under common and not under common control

The assets and liabilities obtained by the Group as the merging party in a business combination are measured at the combination-date carrying amount of the merged party in the consolidated statement of ultimate controller. The difference between the carrying amount of net assets obtained and the carrying amount of the combination consideration paid shall adjust capital reserve; if the capital reserve is not sufficient for offsetting, the retained earnings shall be adjusted.

The acquiree's identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities obtained in a business combination not under common control shall be measured at fair value at the acquisition date. The cost of combination is the sum of the fair value of cash and non-cash assets paid, liabilities incurred or assumed and equity securities issued by the Group for obtaining control of the acquiree at the acquisition date and all expenses incurred directly in the business combination (for the business combination is achieved in stages through multiple transactions, its cost of combination is the sum of costs of each single transaction). Where the cost of combination exceeds the acquirer's share of the fair value of the acquiree's identifiable net assets, the difference is recognized as goodwill; where the cost of combination is less than the acquirer's share of the fair value of the acquiree's identifiable net assets, the measurement of the fair values of all the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities obtained in the business combination and the fair values of non-cash assets or equity securities issued as the consideration for combination are firstly reviewed. If, after that review, the cost of combination is still less than the acquirer's share of the fair value of the acquiree's identifiable net assets in the business combination, the difference shall be included in the consolidated non-operating revenue for the period.

6. Preparation of consolidated financial statements

The Group includes all of its subsidiaries under its control in the scope of consolidated financial statements.

When preparing the consolidated financial statements, when the accounting policy and the accounting period that subsidiaries adopted are inconsistent with the Company, necessary adjustments are made to the financial statements of those subsidiaries according to the accounting policies or accounting period of the Company.

When preparing consolidated financial statements, all significant internal transactions, balances and unrealized profits within the scope of combination shall be offset. Proportion of shareholder's equity of the subsidiaries which do not belong to the Company, and proportion of profit or loss for current period, other comprehensive income and total comprehensive income which belong to the equity of minority shareholders, which shall be listed under "equity of minority shareholders, gain or loss attributable to minority interests, other comprehensive income attributable to minor shareholders and total comprehensive income attributable to the minority shareholders" in the consolidated financial statements.

For subsidiaries acquired through business combination under common control, the operating results and cash flows of the acquiree shall be consolidated into the consolidated financial statements since the beginning of the period of combination. When preparing comparative consolidated financial statements, adjustment shall be made to the related items in the financial statements for the last year, regarding as the reporting subject which was formed after combination has existed since the ultimate controller started control.

Shareholding acquired through different transactions in stages and obtained shareholding of the investee under common control and finally become business combination, when preparing consolidated financial statements, the acquiree shall be regarded as the ultimate controller started the control and adjustment was made under current status. When preparing comparative financial statements, time limit is the time which not earlier than the Group and the acquiree are both under the control of ultimate controller, related assets and liabilities of the acquiree shall be included into the comparative statements of the consolidated financial statements of the Group, and net assets increased due to combination adjusted related items under shareholder's equity in the comparative statements. In order to prevent double calculation of the value of net assets of the acquiree, for long-term equity investment held by the Group before combination, from the date of obtaining original shareholding and the date on which the Group and the acquire are under the same control, whichever is earlier, to the date of combination, the related profit or loss recognised, other comprehensive income and other change in assets, shall be written off retained earnings at the beginning of the comparative period and profit or loss for current period.

From 1 January 2021 to 30 June 2021

6. Preparation of consolidated financial statements — Continued

For subsidiaries acquired through business combination not under common control, its operating results and cash flows shall be included in the consolidated financial statements since the Group obtained its control. When preparing consolidated financial statements, adjustment shall be made to financial statements of the subsidiaries using the fair values of each identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities as basis, which were determined on date of acquisition.

Shareholding acquired through different transactions in stages and obtained shareholding of the investee under common control and finally become business combination, when preparing consolidated financial statements, for shareholding of the acquiree which was holding before the date of acquisition, have to be re-measured according to the fair value of such shareholding on the date of acquisition, difference between the fair value and the carrying value shall be included as the investment income for current period. Other comprehensive income involving equity calculated under equity method which it holds before the related date of acquisition, and change in equity of other shareholders, besides net profit or loss, other comprehensive income and profit distribution, and change to investment profit or loss during the period which date of acquisition belong, except other comprehensive income incurred by the change in net liabilities or net assets from the newly measured defined benefit plan.

Proceeds from disposal of part of the equity investment in the subsidiaries without losing control and the disposal of long-term equity investment should enjoy the difference between the proportion of net assets calculated from the date of acquisition or date of combination in the consolidated financial statements, and adjust the share premium. In case the capital reserve is insufficient for offset, retained earnings will be adjusted.

When the Group loss control in the acquiree due to reasons such as disposal of part of the equity investment, remaining shareholding will be re-measured based on the fair value on the date of loss of control when preparing the consolidated financial statements. The sum of proceeds obtained from the disposal of equity and fair value of the remaining shareholding, and less the difference of the proportion of net assets of the subsidiary calculated from the date of acquisition or combination according to the original shareholding proportion, and included into the investment profit or loss of loss of control for current period, and also goodwill will be written off. Other comprehensive income related to the original equity investment in the subsidiary, will be changed to investment profit or loss for current period upon loss of control.

For loss of control by the Group through different transactions and disposed shareholding in subsidiaries in stages, in case when each transaction that the Group loss control through disposal of shareholding in subsidiaries belongs to a series of transactions, accounting treatment for each transaction shall be treated as one transaction which involves disposal of subsidiary with loss of control. However, the difference between the proceeds for each disposal before loss of control and the proportion of net assets corresponding to the disposal of such subsidiary shall be recognised as other comprehensive income in the consolidated financial statements, and transfer to investment profit or loss of loss of control for current period upon loss of control.

7. Classification of joint arrangements and accounting treatment for joint operations

Joint arrangement of the Group includes joint operation and joint venture. As for joint operation projects, the Group, as the joint venture party in the joint operation, recognises assets and liabilities that i t holds and assumes individually, and the assets and liabilities that i t holds or assume in proportion, and related income and fees will be recognised according to the related agreed individual or in proportion assets and liabilities. For assets transactions that are purchased or sale under joint operation that do not constitute business, only when profit or loss incurred from that transaction attributable to the other parties under the joint operation

9. Foreign currency transactions and translation of financial statements in foreign currency

(1) Foreign currency transactions

For foreign currency transactions of the Group, the amount in foreign currency shall be translated into RMB at the approximate exchange rate of the spot exchange rate at the date when the transactions take place. As at the balance sheet date, foreign currency monetary items are translated into RMB using the spot exchange rate at the balance sheet date. Translation differences arising thereon are directly included in the profit or loss for the period, except that exchange differences arising from specific borrowings in foreign currency attributable to the construction or production of a qualifying asset for capitalization are dealt with based on the capitalisation principle.

(2) Translation of financial statements in foreign currency

Asset and liability items in the balance sheet denominated in foreign currency are translated at the spot rate prevailing at the balance sheet date. The owners' equity items, except for the "undistributed profits", are translated at the approximate exchange rate of the spot exchange rate when a business takes place. Income and expense items in the income statement are translated at the spot exchange rate at the date when the transaction takes place. The translation differences arising from the above translation of statements denominated in foreign currency are presented in other comprehensive income item. Cash flows dominated in foreign currency are translated using the approximate exchange rate of the spot rate at the date when the cash flow occurs. Effects on cash arising from the changes in exchange rate are presented separately in the cash flow statement.

10. Financial assets and financial liabilities

The Group recognizes a financial asset or a financial liability when i t becomes a party to the contractual provisions of a financial instrument.

(1) Financial assets

1) Classification, recognition and measurement of financial assets

The Group classifies financial assets into financial assets at amortized cost, financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income and financial assets at fair value through profit or loss based on its business model for managing the financial assets and the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial assets.

The Group will classify financial assets that meet the following conditions into financial assets measured at amortized cost: ① the financial assets are managed within a business model whose objective is achieved by collecting contractual cash flow; and ② the contractual terms of the financial assets give rise on specific dates to cash flows that are solely the payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding. Such financial assets are initially measured at fair value with related transaction costs to be included in the initial recognition amount, and are subsequently measured at amortized cost. Except for those designated as hedged items, the difference between the initial amount and the maturity amount is amortized using the effective interest method, and the amortization, impairment, exchange gains or losses and gains or losses arising upon derecognition are included in the profit or loss for the period.

  • (1) Financial assets Continued
    • 1) Classification, recognition and measurement of financial assets Continued

The Group will classify financial assets that meet the following conditions into financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income: ① the financial assets are managed within a business model whose objective is achieved both by collecting contractual cash flows and selling financial assets; and ② the contractual terms of the financial assets give rise on specific dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding. Such financial assets are initially measured at fair value with related transaction costs to be included in the initial recognition amount. Except for those designated as hedged items, other gains or losses arising from such financial assets, other than credit impairment losses or gains, exchange gains or losses and interest on such financial assets calculated using the effective interest method, are recognized in other comprehensive income. Upon derecognition of the financial assets, the cumulative gains or losses previously included in other comprehensive income shall be transferred out and be included in the profit or loss for the period.

The Group recognizes interest income using the effective interest method. Interest income is calculated and determined by applying the effective interest rate to the carrying balance of the financial asset, except: ①for the purchased or internally generated credit impaired financial assets, their interest income is calculated and determined based on amortized cost and credit-adjusted effective interest rate of such financial assets since the initial recognition; ②for the purchased or internally generated financial assets without credit-impairment but subsequently becoming credit impaired, their interest income is calculated and determined based on amortized costs and effective interest rate of such financial assets in subsequent periods.

Other than the above financial assets measured at amortized cost, the Group classifies its financial assets as financial assets at fair value through profit or loss. Such financial assets are initially measured at fair value with related transaction costs to be directly included in profit or loss for the period. Gains or losses on such financial assets are included in profit or loss for the period.

2) Recognition and measurement of transfer of financial assets

The Group derecognizes financial assets if one of the following conditions is satisfied: ① the contractual rights to collect the cash flows from the financial asset expire; ② the financial asset has been transferred, and the Group has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset; and ③ the financial asset has been transferred, and the Group neither transfers nor retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset, and it has not retained control over such financial asset.

If the transfer of an entire financial asset satisfies the conditions for derecognition, the difference between the carrying amount of the transferred financial assets and the sum of the consideration received from the transfer and the accumulative amount of the changes of the fair value originally included in other comprehensive income which shall be apportioned to the derecognized portion (where the contractual terms of the financial assets transferred give rise on specific dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding), are included into current profit or loss.

    • 2) Recognition and measurement of transfer of financial assets Continued

If the transfer of financial asset partially satisfies the conditions of derecognition, the entire carrying amount of the transferred financial asset is, between the portion which is derecognized and the portion which is not, apportioned according to their respective relative fair value, and the difference between the sum of the consideration received from the transfer and the accumulative amount of the changes of the fair value originally included in other comprehensive income which shall be apportioned to the derecognized portion (where the contractual terms of the financial assets transferred give rise on specific dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding the financial assets transferred are available-for sale financial assets), and the apportioned entire carrying amount of the said financial assets are included into current profit or loss.

(2) Financial liabilities

1) Classification, recognition and measurement of financial liabilities

On initial recognition, financial liabilities are classified as financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss and other financial liabilities.

Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss include transactional financial liabilities and financial liabilities designated as measured at fair value through profit or loss at initial recognition. They are subsequently measured at fair value. Gains or losses arising from changes in fair value, as well as dividends and interest expenditure related to such financial liabilities are recorded in profit or loss for the period.

Except for the following items, the Group classifies its financial liabilities as those measured at amortized cost: ① financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, including transactional liabilities (inclusive of derivatives of such financial liabilities) and financial liabilities designated as measured at fair value through profit or loss. ② financial liabilities arising from financial assets of which the transfer does not meet the conditions for derecognition or continuing involvements in the transferred financial assets. ③ financial guarantee contracts that do not fall within the range of ① or ②, and loan commitments that do not fall within the range of above ① and are at a rate less than the market interest rate.

2) Conditions for derecognition of financial liabilities

When the present obligations of financial liabilities are released in whole or in part, such financial liabilities are derecognized to the extent of the obligations released. Where the Group enters into an agreement with its creditor to replace existing financial liabilities by assuming new financial liabilities with contractual terms substantively differ from those of the existing financial liabilities, the existing financial liabilities are derecognized while the new financial liabilities are recognized. Where the Group substantively revises, in whole or in part, the contractual terms of existing financial liabilities, such existing financial liabilities are derecognized in whole or in part, while those financial liabilities with their terms revised are recognized as new financial liabilities. The difference between the carrying amount of the derecognised part and the consideration paid is included in the profit or loss for the current period.

From 1 January 2021 to 30 June 2021

IV. IMPORTANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES — Continued

10. Financial assets and financial liabilities — Continued

(3) Method for determination of fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities

Fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities of the Group are measured at the prices in principal market. In case there is no principal market, fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities are calculated using the price which is the most beneficial to the market, and using valuation technology which is the most appropriate at that time and with sufficient available data and other information. The inputs which are used to measure the fair value have been divided into 3 levels by the Group: Level 1-inputs consist of unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2-inputs are quoted prices for the asset or liability (other than those included in Level 1) that are either directly or indirectly observable. Level 3-inputs are unobservable inputs to the related assets or liabilities. The Level 1 inputs are the first priority to use by the Group, and level 3 inputs will be the last one to use. The level of fair value measurement is determined by the lowest level of inputs which are significant to the measurement of fair value as a whole.

The Group measures investments in equity instruments at fair value. However, in limited circumstances, if recent information on determining fair value is insufficient, or if there is a wide range of possible fair value measurements and cost represents the best estimate of fair value within that range, the cost may be an appropriate estimate of fair value with that range.

(4) Offsetting of financial assets and financial liabilities

Financial assets and financial liabilities of the Group shall be presented separately in the balance sheet and shall not be offset. However, when all of the following conditions are met, a financial asset and a financial liability shall be offset and the net amount is presented in the balance sheet: (1) the Group has a legal right that is currently enforceable to set off the recognized amount, and (2) the Group intends either to settle on a net basis, or to realise the financial asset and settle the financial liability simultaneously.

(5) Classification and treatment of financial liabilities and equity instruments

The Group classifies financial liabilities and equity instruments on the following principles: (1) Where the Group is unable to unconditionally avoid delivering cash or another financial asset to fulfil a contractual obligation, the contractual obligation meets the definition of a financial liability. Although some financial instruments do not explicitly include the terms and conditions imposing the contractual obligation to deliver cash or another financial asset, they may indirectly give rise to the contractual obligation through other terms and conditions. (2) Where a financial instrument will or may be settled in the Group's own equity instrument, consideration shall be given to whether the Group's own equity instrument as used to settle the instrument is a substitute of cash or another financial asset or the residual interest in the assets of an entity after deducting all of its liabilities. In the former case, the instrument shall be the issuer's financial liability; in the latter case, the instrument shall be the equity instrument of the issuer. Under certain circumstances whereby a financial instrument contract stipulates that the Group will or may use its own equity instrument to settle the financial instrument, and the amount of the contractual right or obligation equal to the number of its own equity instruments to be received or delivered multiplied by their fair value at the time of settlement, the contract shall be classified as a financial liability, regardless of whether the amount of the contractual right or obligation is fixed, or fluctuates in full or in partly in response to changes in a variable other than the market price of the Group's own equity instruments (for example an interest rate, a commodity price or a financial instrument price).

When classifying a financial instrument (or a component thereof) in consolidated financial statements, the Group shall consider all terms and conditions agreed between members of the Group and the holders of the financial instrument. If the Group as a whole has an obligation in respect of the instrument to settle it by delivering cash or another financial asset or in such a way that it would be a financial liability, such instrument shall be classified as a financial liability.

10. Financial assets and financial liabilities — Continued

(5) Classification and treatment of financial liabilities and equity instruments — Continued

If the financial instrument or its component is attributable to the financial liability, the relevant interests, dividends, gains or losses, and gains or losses arising from redemption or refinancing, shall be recorded in the profit or loss of the current period.

If the financial instrument or its component is attributable to equity instrument, the Group shall treat it as change in equity when it is issued (including refinanced), repurchased, sold or cancelled, and shall not recognize changes in fair value of equity instrument.

11. Impairment of financial assets

Financial assets with their impairment loss to be recognised by the Group are financial assets at amortised cost and lease receivable, which include notes receivable, accounts receivable and other receivables, etc.. In addition, the Company shall also make provision for impairment of contract assets and part of the financial guarantee contracts and recognise their credit impairment loss in accordance with the accounting policies as stated in this section.

(1) Recognition method of impairment provision

Based on the expected credit loss, the Group makes impairment provisions for each of the above items with the measurement methods (being general approach or simplified approach) of expected credit loss applicable to them, and recognises their credit impairment loss.

Credit loss is the difference between all receivable contractual cash flows according to the contract and all cash flows expected to be received by the Group discounted to present value at the original effective interest rate, i.e. the present value of all cash shortfalls. In particular, the credit-impaired financial assets purchased or originated by the Group shall discount based on the credit-adjusted effective interest rate of such financial assets.。

General approach for measuring expected credit loss means that the Group assesses whether credit risk of financial assets (including other applicable items such as contract assets) has increased significantly since the initial recognition on each balance sheet date. If the credit risk has increased significantly since the initial recognition, the Group measures loss provision based on the amount of expected credit losses for the entire duration of the life; if the credit risk has not increased significantly since the initial recognition, the Group measures the loss provision based on the amount of expected credit loss over the next 12 months. The Company considers all reasonable and evidenced information, including forward-looking information, when assessing expected credit loss.

For financial instruments with lower credit risk on balance sheet date, the Company assumes that their credit risk has not increased significantly since the initial recognition and chooses to measure loss provision based on the expected credit loss within the next 12 months.

(2) Criteria for judging significant increases in credit risk after initial recognition

If a financial asset's probability of default within the expected duration of the life as determined on balance sheet date is significantly higher than its probability of default within the expected duration of the life as determined on initial recognition, this shows that the credit risk of such financial asset is significantly increased. Except for special circumstances, the Group adopts the changes in default risks within the next 12 months as reasonable estimates for changes in default risks within the entire duration of the life, so as to determine whether credit risk is significantly increase or not after initial recognition.

From 1 January 2021 to 30 June 2021

11. Impairment of financial assets — Continued

(3) Assessment method of expected credit loss on a group basis

The Group conducts individual assessment on the credit risk of financial assets with obviously different credit risks. For examples, assessment will be conducted on the receivables for which there are disputes, lawsuit or arbitration; the receivables for which there are obvious evidences showing that the debtor is not likely able to perform the repayment obligation, etc.

In addition to financial assets with individually assessed credit risks, the Company divides financial assets into different groups based on common risk characteristics, and assess their credit risks on a group basis.

(4) Accounting treatment method of impairment of financial assets

As at the end of the period, the Group calculated the expected credit losses of various types of financial assets. If the expected credit loss is higher than the carrying amount of its current impairment provision, the difference is recognised as the impairment loss; if it is less than the carrying amount of the current impairment provision, the difference is recognised as the impairment gain.

(5) Determination of credit losses of various types of financial assets

① Notes receivable

The Group calculates loss provision of notes receivable based on the amount equivalent to the expected credit loss within the entire duration of the life. Based on the credit risk characteristics of notes receivable, the Company divides them into different groups:

Item Basis for determination of groups
Bank acceptance notes Acceptor being a bank with less credit risk
Commercial acceptance notes Based on the credit risk of the acceptor (same as accounts
receivable)

② Accounts receivable and contract assets

For accounts receivable and contract assets which do not contain significant financing components, the Company measures the loss provision based on the amount of expected credit losses equivalent to the entire duration of the life.

For receivables, contract assets and lease receivable which contain significant financing components, the Company always chooses to measure the loss provision based on the amount of expected credit losses equivalent to the entire duration of the life.

In addition to accounts receivable and contract assets with individually assessed credit risks, based on their credit risk characteristics, the Company divides them into different groups:

Item Basis for determination of groups
Ageing analysis This group is based on the using of ageing of receivables as the
credit risk characteristics.
Receivables from related parties This group is based on receivables from related parties
Other receivables This group is based on accounts receivable from special business

③ Other receivables

Based on whether the credit risk of other receivables is significantly increased or not after initial recognition, the Group measures impairment loss by using the amount of expected credit losses equivalent to the entire duration of the life or within the next 12 months. In addition to other receivables with individually assessed credit risks, based on their credit risk characteristics, the Company divides them into different groups:

Item Basis for determination of groups
Ageing analysis This group i s based on the using of ageing of other receivables as
the credit risk characteristics
Receivables from related parties This group is based on other receivables from related parties
Other receivables This group is based on other receivable from special business

12. Financing receivables

As for notes receivable and Accounts receivable that classified as measured at fair value through other comprehensive income, the portion within one year (inclusive) from the date of acquisition is presented as financing receivables; while the portion over one year is presented as other investments in debt. For relevant accounting policies, please refer to Note 10 Financial assets and financial liabilities and Note 11 Impairment of financial assets as stated above.

13. Inventories

The Group's inventories mainly includes raw materials, work in progress, finished goods and etc.

The Group maintains a perpetual inventory system. Inventories are recorded at cost of purchase when received. Actual cost is calculated using weighted average method when the inventories are acquired. Low-value consumables and packaged goods are amortised using one-time resale method.

The Group carries out a comprehensive inventory on the balance sheet date. The net realisable value of finished goods, work in process and materials for sale, is determined by estimated price deducting estimated selling costs and related taxes. The net realisable value of production materials is determined by estimated price deducting estimated completion cost, sale expenses and related sales taxes.

14. Contract Assets

(1) Method and standards for recognition of contract assets

A contract asset represents the Group's right, which depends on factors other than the passage of time, to receive consideration in exchange for goods that the Group has transferred to a customer. If the Group sells two clearly distinguishable goods to customers, it is entitled to receive payment for one of the goods that has been delivered, but the payment is also dependent on the delivery of the other of the goods, the Group regards the right to receive payment as a contract asset.

(2) Method of determination and accounting treatment of expected credit loss of contract assets

For method of determination of expected credit loss of contract assets, please refer to the description in "11. Impairment of financial assets" above.

About the accounting treatment method, the Group calculates the expected credit loss of contract assets on the balance sheet date. If the expected credit loss is greater than the carrying amount of the current provision for contract assets, the Group recognises the difference as impairment losses, and it will debit "asset impairment loss" and credit "provision for impairment of contract assets". Otherwise, the Group recognises the difference as an impairment gain and makes the opposite accounting record.

If the Group incurs credit loss and determines that the relevant contract assets are unrecoverable, subject to the approval for writing off, it will debit "provision for impairment of contract assets" and credit "contract assets" based on the approved amount written-off. If the written-off amount is greater than the loss allowance made, the "asset impairment loss" is debited for the difference.

15. Contract costs

(1) Method of determination of amount of assets relating to contract costs

The Group's assets relating to contract costs include contract performance cost and contract acquisition cost.

Contract performance cost refers to the cost incurred by the Group to perform a contract which does not fall under the scope of the Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises and meets all of the following conditions, which is recognised as an asset as contract performance cost: the costs relate directly to an existing contract or to a specifically identifiable anticipated contract, including direct labour, direct materials, allocations of overheads (or similar costs), costs that are explicitly chargeable to the customer and other costs that are incurred only because the Group entered into the contract; the costs generate resources of the Group that will be used in satisfying performance obligations in the future; the costs are expected to be recovered.

Contract acquisition cost refers to the incremental cost for the Group to obtain a contract which is expected to be recoverable which is recognised as an asset as contract acquisition cost. If the amortisation period is no more than one year, the contract acquisition cost is included in profit or loss as incurred. Incremental cost refers to the cost which will not be incurred by the Group had no contract been acquired (such as commission etc.). Other expenses incurred by the Group to obtain contracts (other than the incremental cost which is expected to be recoverable) (such as travelling expenses which will be incurred regardless of whether the contract will be obtained) are included in profit or loss as incurred, save for those expressly to be borne by customers.

(2) Amortisation of assets relating to contract costs

The Group's assets relating to contract costs are amortised using the same basis as that for recognition of the revenue from goods relating to the assets, which are included in profit or loss.

(3) Impairment of assets relating to contract costs

In determining the loss on impairment of assets relating to contract costs, the Group first determines the impairment loss for other assets relating to contract costs recognised in accordance with the relevant Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises and then makes provision for impairment based on the excess of its carrying value over the sum of the remaining consideration expected to be received from transfer of the goods relating to the asset and the cost expected to be incurred for transfer of the relevant goods, which is recognised as loss on impairment of assets.

If there is any change in the factors causing impairment in the previous periods, resulting in the said difference higher than the carrying value of the asset, the provision for impairment of assets previously made is reversed and is included in profit or loss. However, the carrying value of the asset following reversal shall not exceed the carrying value of the asset as at the date of reversal had no provision for impairment been made.

16. Long-term equity investments

Long-term equity investments of the Group are the investments in subsidiaries and investment in associates and investment in joint ventures.

Basis for determination in respect of common control is that all participated parties or a group of participated parties control such arrangement, and that policies of such related business of such arrangement have to obtain unanimous agreement by all parties that are control such arrangement.

When the Group directly or indirectly throughout its subsidiary owns 20% (inclusive) or more but less than 50% shares with voting rights in the investee, it is generally considered that the Group has significant influence on the investee. For voting rights less than 20% in the investee, the board or representative in similar authority in the investee or the implementation processes of financial or operation policies of investee have also been taken into account, or significant transaction with the investee, or management personnel send to the investee, or significant technology information provided to the investee which have significant influence to the investee.

If the Group has control over an investee, it is a subsidiary of the Group. For long-term equity investments obtained through business combination under common control, proportion of carrying value of net assets obtained on the date of combination in the consolidated financial statements of the ultimate controller shall be accounted as the initial investment cost of the long-term investment. For carrying value of net assets of the acquiree which is negative on the date of combination, investment cost of long-term equity investment is calculated as zero.

For equity interests in investees under common control acquired in a series of transaction which constitute business combination, supplementary disclosure on the accounting of long-term equity investments in the financial statements of the Company for the reporting period in which the control is acquired. For example, for equity interests in investees under common control acquired in a series of transactions which constitute business combination and a package of transactions, the Group accounts for each transaction as a transaction in which the control has been obtained. If it does not fall under a series of transactions, according to proportion of fair value of net assets of acquiree after the combination in the consolidated financial statements of the ultimate controller, and accounted as the initial investment cost of long-term equity investment on the date of combination. Difference between initial investment cost and the carrying value of long-term equity investment before combination and the sum of carrying value of newly paid consideration for additional shares acquired on the date of combination is to adjust capital reserve. If the balance of share premium is insufficient, any excess is adjusted to retained earnings.

For long-term equity investment acquired through business combination not under common control, cost of combination will be treated as the initial investment cost.

16. Long-term equity investments — Continued

For equity interests in investees not under common control acquired in a series of transaction which constitute business combination, supplementary disclosure on the accounting of cost of long-term equity investments in the financial statements of the Company for the reporting period in which the control is acquired. For example, for equity interests in investees not under common control acquired in a series of transactions which constitute business combination and a package of transactions, the Group accounts for each transaction as a transaction in which the control has been obtained. If it does not belong to a series of transaction, initial investment cost will be the sum of the carrying value of the equity investment which it originally holds, and initial investment cost will change to cost method. For shareholding which it holds before the date of acquisition which uses equity method, other related comprehensive income which use equity method for accounting shall not be adjusted, such investment shall use the same accounting basis as the investee when it directly disposes of related assets or liabilities upon disposal. If the equity held before the purchase date were designated as financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income, the cumulative gain or loss of the equity originally included in other comprehensive income should be transferred out of other comprehensive income and included in retained earnings; if they were financial assets at fair value through profit and loss, the gain or loss of the equity that was originally included in the profit and loss of the change in fair value does not need to be transferred to investment gain. If the equity held before the purchase date is an investment in other equity instruments, the changes in the fair value of the equity instrument investment accumulated in other comprehensive income before the purchase date shall be transferred to retained earnings.

Apart from the long-term equity investments acquired through business combination mentioned above, the long-term equity investments acquired by cash payment is expensed as the cost of investment based on the actual amount of cash paid for the purchase. For long-term equity investments acquired by issuing equity securities, the cost of investment is the fair value of the equity securities issued. For long-term equity investments invested in the Group by the investor, the investment cost is the agreed consideration as specified in the contract or agreement.

Investments in subsidiaries are accounted for the Group using cost method, while investments in the associates and joint ventures are accounted for under equity method.

For long-term equity investments for which the subsequent measure is accounted for using cost method, when making additional investment, carrying value of the long-term equity investments will be increased according to the fair value of cost of additional investment and the related expenses incurred by related transactions. For cash dividend or profit paid by the investee, it shall be recognised as investment income for current period using the amount which it entitles.

For long-term equity investment for which the subsequent measurement is accounted for under equity method, carrying value of long-term equity investment shall be increased or decreased accordingly according to the change in the shareholders' equity of the investee. When determining the amount of proportion of net profit or loss in the investee which it entitles, fair value of each identifiable assets of the investee at the time when the investment is obtained shall be used as basis, and according to the accounting policies and accounting period of the Group, and after offsetting profit or loss incurred in internal transaction between associates and joint ventures, and calculate the proportion which is attributable to the investing company according to the shareholding, and recognised after adjustment is made to the net profit of the investee.

On the disposal of a long-term equity investment, the difference between the carrying value and the consideration actually received is recognised as investment income for the period. For long-term equity investments accounted for under equity method, the relevant other comprehensive income accounted for by the original equity method shall be accounted for on the same basis as the investee's direct disposal of related assets or liabilities when the equity method is terminated. The owner's equity recognised by changes in other owner's equity other than profit and loss, other comprehensive income and profit distribution shall be all transferred to the current investment income when the equity method is terminated.

From 1 January 2021 to 30 June 2021

16. Long-term equity investments — Continued

When the Group loss control in the investee due to reasons such as disposal of part of the equity investment, remaining shareholding after disposal of will be accounted for under regulations related to recognition and measurement standards of financial instrument, difference between fair value and the carry value on the date of loss of common control or significant influence will be included in the profit or loss for current period. Other comprehensive income recognised in the original equity investment which is accounted for using equity method, upon it will no longer be accounted for under equity method, it shall be using the same accounting basis as the investee directly disposing related assets or liabilities. according to its proportion. The owner's equity recognised by changes in other owner's equity other than profit and loss, other comprehensive income and profit distribution shall be transferred to the current investment income according to its proportion.

For loss of control in the investee due to partly disposed long-term equity investment, for remaining shareholding which can apply common control or impose significant influence to the investee after disposal, shall be accounted for under equity method. Difference between the carrying value of equity disposal and the disposal consideration shall be included as investment income. Such remaining shareholding shall be treated as accounting for under equity method since the shareholding is obtained and make adjustment. For remaining shareholding which cannot apply common control or impose significant influence after disposal, it can be accounted as under regulations related to recognition and measurement standards of financial instruments, and difference between carrying value of equity disposal and the disposal consideration shall be included as investment income, difference between fair value and the carrying value of remaining shareholding on the date loss of control shall be included in the investment profit or loss for such period.

If the transactions from the step-by-step disposal of equity to the loss of controlling equity do not fall under a series of transactions, the Group shall separately carry out accounting treatment for each transaction. If the transaction falls under a series of transactions, each transaction is accounted for as a disposal of subsidiary with control lost. However, the difference between the consideration for each transaction before losing control and the carrying value of the long-term equity investments corresponding to the equity disposed of is recognised as other comprehensive income and transferred to profit or loss upon loss of control.

17. Investment properties

Investment properties are the properties held to earn rental or for capital appreciation or both, and represent buildings which have been leased out by the Company.

Investment property is 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 expenditures on investment property shall be included in profit or loss for the current period when incurred.

The Group adopts cost method for subsequent measurement of investment property, which is depreciated or amortised using the same policy as that for buildings and land use rights.

In the event that an owner-occupied property or inventories is converted to an investment property (or vice versa), upon the conversion, the property shall be stated at the carrying amount prior to the conversion.

If an investment property is disposed of or if it withdraws permanently from use and no economic benefit will be obtained from the disposal, the recognition of it as an investment property shall be terminated. When an investment property is sold, transferred, retired or damaged, the amount of proceeds on disposal of the property net of the carrying amount and related tax and surcharges is recognised in profit or loss for the current period.

18. Fixed assets

Fixed assets of the Group are tangible assets that held for production of goods or provision of services, leasing to others, or for administrative purposes; have useful life over one accounting year.

Fixed assets are recognised when it is probable that the related economic benefits will flow to the Group and the costs can be reliably measured. Fixed assets of the Group comprise buildings and structures, machinery equipment, electronic equipment, appliances and furniture, transportation equipment, moulds, etc.

Apart from fixed assets which are provided in full and continue to be in use and lands that are accounted separately, the Group made provision for all the fixed assets. The Group made provision for depreciation using straight-line method. The useful life, estimated residual value ratio and depreciation rate of fixed assets of the Group are classified as below:

No. Category Useful life (year) Rate of
residual
value (%)
Annual
depreciation
rates(%)
1 Buildings 20 – 50 0 – 10 1.8 – 5
2 Machinery and equipment 5 – 20 5 – 10 4.5 – 19
3 Electronic equipment, appliances and
furniture
3 – 10 0 – 10 9 – 33.33
4 Motor vehicles 5 – 10 5 – 10 9 – 19

The Group makes the assessment on the estimated useful life, estimated rate of salvage value and the depreciation method of fixed assets at each financial year-end. If any changes occur, they will be regarded as changes on accounting estimates.

19. Construction in progress

The Group's constructions in progress are measured at actual cost and are accounted for by individual projects.

Construction in progress is transferred to the fixed assets when the assets are ready for their intended use at an estimated amount based on the project budget or actual cost of construction. Depreciation is calculated from the next month of the transfer. The cost of the asset is adjusted when the construction finalization procedures are completed.

20. Borrowing costs

Borrowing cost incurred from fixed assets, investment properties and inventories which require construction or production activities for a relatively long time, and can reached usable or sale condition after that. Borrowing costs start capitalization when the assets expense and borrowing costs were incurred and the construction or production activities, in order to make assets to reach the expected usable or sale condition have started; When construction or assets that fulfil the capitalization conditions reached the expected usable or sale condition, the capitalization have to be terminated. Borrowing costs incurred afterward are included into the profit or loss for current period. If assets that fulfil capitalization conditions interrupted abnormally during construction or production progress, and such interruption occurred for more than three consecutive months, capitalization of borrowing costs have to terminate, until construction of assets or production activities resumed.

The amount of interest, accrued from the funds borrowed under a specific-purpose, to be capitalised is the actual interest expense incurred on that borrowing for the period less any bank interest earned from depositing the borrowed funds before being used on the asset or any investment income on the temporary investment of those funds. The Group determines the amount of interest, accrued from the funds borrowed under general-purpose, to be capitalised by applying a capitalisation rate to the weighted average of the excess of cumulative expenditures on the asset over the amounts of specific purpose borrowings. The capitalisation rate shall be calculated and determined according to the weighted average interest rate of the general borrowing.

21. Right-of-use assets

The right-of-use asset is defined as the right of underlying assets in the lease term for the Group as a lessee.

(1) Initial measurement

At the commencement date, the Group shall measure the right-of-use asset at cost. The cost of the right-ofuse asset shall comprise: ① the amount of the initial measurement of the lease liability; ② any lease payments made at or before the commencement date, less any lease incentives received; ③ any initial direct costs incurred by the lessee, which is defined as incremental costs arising due to the obtaining lease; and ④ an estimate of costs to be incurred by the lessee in dismantling and removing the underlying asset, restoring the site on which it is located or restoring the underlying asset to the condition required by the terms and conditions of the lease, while costs of production of inventory are excluded.

(2) Subsequent measurement

At the commencement date, the Group shall measure the right-of-use asset at cost, which is the measurement of right-of-use assets at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. If the Group re-measures lease liability in accordance with the relevant provisions of the lease standards, the book value of the right-of-use assets shall be adjusted accordingly.

(3) Depreciation of right-of-use asset

At the commencement date, the Group depreciates the right-of-use asset. Right-of-use assets are usually depreciated starting from the month of the lease term. The depreciation amount accrued is included in the cost of the relevant asset or current profit or loss based on the use of the right-of-use asset.

When determining the depreciation method of the right-of-use assets, the Group makes decision based on the expected consumption method of the economic benefits related to such right-of-use assets, and depreciates the right-of-use assets by the straight-line method.

When determining the depreciation period of the right-of-use assets, the Group follows the following principles: If there is reasonable certainty that the Group will obtain ownership of the underlying asset by the end of the lease term, the asset is depreciated over its remaining useful life; otherwise the asset is depreciated over the shorter of the lease term and its remaining useful life.

(4) Impairment of right-of-use assets

If the right-of-use asset is impaired, the Group performs subsequent depreciation based on the book value of the right-of-use assets after deducting the impairment loss.

22. Intangible asset

The Group's intangible assets mainly include land use right, trademark right, patented technology, etc. Intangible assets are measured at the actual costs at acquisition. For purchased intangible assets, actual paid cost and other relevant expenses are used as the actual cost. For intangible assets invested by investors, the actual cost is determined according to the values specified in the investment contract or agreement, while for the unfair agreed value in contract or agreement, the actual cost is determined at the fair value.

The Group amortizes land use right on the basis of its useful life by straight line method since it is acquired. Other intangible assets are amortized evenly on the basis of shorter of estimated useful life, stipulated beneficial year by contract, and legal available year. The amortization amount is accounted into profit and loss in the current period according to the beneficiary object of intangible assets. The Group makes the assessment on the estimated useful life and amortization method of intangible assets with limited useful life at the end of each year. Any changes will be dealt with as changes on accounting estimates.

From 1 January 2021 to 30 June 2021

IV. IMPORTANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES — Continued

22. Intangible asset — Continued

The useful lives of the Group's intangible assets with limited useful lives are as follows:

Items Useful lives (years)
Land use rights 20-70
Trademark rights 5
Proprietary technology 10
Sales channels 10
Others 3-10

Explanation: The useful life of land use right is recognized according to the term of the grant; the useful life of other intangible assets is recognized according to the shortest of the expected useful life, the beneficial period as specified in the contract or the useful life specified in the law.

The Group will review the useful lives on those intangible assets with indefinite useful lives at each of the accounting period. If there are evidences showing that the intangible assets can bring economic benefit for the Company within the foreseeable period, the Company shall estimate the useful life and carry out amortization according to the amortization policy for intangible assets with finite useful life.

23. Expenditure on research and development

  • (1) The Group classifies the expenditure on an internal research and development project into expenditure at the research phase and expenditure at the development phase.
  • (2) Specific criteria for the classification of the Company's internal research and development projects into research phase and development phase:

Research phase: the phase at which creative investigation and research activities are carried out as planned for the purpose of obtaining and understanding new scientific or technical knowledge.

Development phase: the phase at which the research achievement or other knowledge is applied to a particular project or design in order to produce new or substantially improved materials, devices, products and etc. before commercial production or utilization.

  • (3) Expenditure at the research phase of an internal research and development project is recognized in profit or loss for the period when it is incurred.
  • (4) Expenditure at the development phase of an internal research and development project is recognised as an intangible asset only if all of the following conditions are satisfied at the same time:
  • ① It is technically feasible to complete the intangible asset so that it will be available for use or sale;
  • ② Management intends to complete and to use or sell the intangible asset;
  • ③ It can be demonstrated how the intangible asset will generate economic benefits, including demonstrating that there is an existing market for products produced by the intangible asset or for the intangible asset itself, and that it can be used if the intangible asset is to be used internally;
  • ④ There are adequate technical, financial and other resources to complete the development and the ability to use or sell the intangible assets;
  • ⑤ The expenditure attributable to the intangible asset at its development phase can be reliably measured.

From 1 January 2021 to 30 June 2021

IV. IMPORTANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES — Continued

23. Expenditure on research and development — Continued

(5) All the expenditures on research and development which cannot be distinguished between the research phase and development phase are recognised in the profit or loss when incurred.

24. Impairment of long-term assets

The Group would assess intangible assets such as long-term equity investment, investment properties measured by the cost model, fixed assets, construction in progress, right-to-use assets and intangible assets and operating lease assets with limited useful lives at each of the balance sheet date. When there is indication that there is impairment, the Group would perform impairment test. Impairment test should be made for goodwill and intangible assets with uncertain useful life, at the period end regardless of whether there is indication of impairment loss.

If the impairment test result shows that the recoverable amount of an asset is less than its carrying amount, the impairment provision will be made according to the difference and recognised as an impairment loss. The recoverable amount of an asset is the higher of its fair value less costs of disposal and the present value of the future cash flows expected to be derived from the asset. An asset's fair value is the price in a sale agreement in an arm's length transaction. If there is no sale agreement but the asset is traded in an active market, fair value shall be determined based on the bid price. If there is neither sale agreement nor active market for an asset, fair value shall be based on the best available information. Costs of disposal are expenses attributable to disposal of the asset, including legal fee, relevant tax and surcharges, transportation fee and direct expenses incurred to prepare the asset for its intended sale. The present value of the future cash flows expected to be derived from the asset over the course of continued use and final disposal is determined as the amount discounted using an appropriately selected discount rate. Provisions for assets impairment shall be made and recognised for the individual asset. If it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of the individual asset, the Company shall determine the recoverable amount of the asset group to which the asset belongs. The asset group is the smallest group of assets capable of generating cash flows independently.

An impairment loss recognised on the aforesaid assets shall not be reversed in a subsequent period.

25. Long-term prepaid expenses

Long-term prepaid expenses are expenditures of the Group that have been incurred but should be recognized as expenses over more than one year in the current and subsequent periods. Long-term prepaid expenses are amortized on a straight-line basis over the expected beneficial period. Preoperating expenses during the establishment period should be recognized directly in profit or loss in the month as incurred.

26. Contract liability

A contract liability reflects the Group's obligation to transfer goods or services to a customer for which the Company has received consideration (or an amount of consideration is due) from the customer. If the customer has paid the contract consideration or the Group has obtained the unconditional rights to consideration before the Group transfers goods to the customer, the Group will present the amount received or receivable as a contract liability at the time of actual payment by the customer or the due date of the amount to be paid by the customer, which is the earlier.

From 1 January 2021 to 30 June 2021

27. Employee compensation

Staff remuneration of the Group mainly includes short-term remuneration, post-employment benefits and termination benefits.

Short-term remuneration mainly includes salaries, bonuses, allowance and subsides, staff welfare, medical insurance premium, maternity insurance premium, work-related injury insurance premium, housing provident funds, union operation costs and employee education costs and non-monetary welfare etc. Short-term remuneration incurred during the accounting period in which the staff provided services is recognised as a liability, and included in profit or loss for the current period or as related asset cost in accordance with beneficiaries.

Post-employment benefits mainly include pension insurance premium and unemployment insurance premium. According to the Company's risks and obligations, they are classified as defined contribution plans and defined benefit plans. As for the defined contribution plans, the contributions which are made for individual subjects in exchange for the staff's services rendered in the accounting period shall be recognized as liabilities on the balance sheet date and included in profits or losses in the current period or relevant asset costs according to the beneficiaries; whereas defined benefit plans served a system of severance pay for its staff.

Where the Group terminates the employment relationship with employees before the expiration of the employment contracts or proposes compensation to encourage employees to accept voluntary redundancy, it shall recognise employee compensation liabilities arising from termination benefit and included in profit or loss for the current period, on the date when the Group may not revoke unilaterally the termination benefit provided due to the termination of employment relationship plans or employee redundancy proposals or when the Group recognises the cost and expenses related to restructuring involving in the payment of termination benefit, whichever is earlier. However, if the termination benefit is not expected to be fully paid within 12 months from the end of the reporting period, it shall be accounted for as other long-term staff remuneration.

28. Lease Liabilities

(1) Initial measurement

The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the outstanding lease payments on the commencement date of the lease term.

1) Lease payment

The lease payment refers 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: ①The fixed payment and the substantial fixed payment, net of the lease incentive amount when there is a lease incentive; ②The variable lease payments depending on the index or ratio, which are determined at the time of initial measurement based on the index or ratio on the commencement date of the lease term; ③The exercise price of the call option, provided that the Group reasonably determines that it will exercise the option; ④ The amount payable to exercise the option to terminate a lease, provided that the lease term reflects that the Group will exercise the option to terminate the lease; ⑤The amount payable based on the residual value of the security provided by the Group.

From 1 January 2021 to 30 June 2021

IV. IMPORTANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES — Continued

    1. Lease Liabilities Continued
  • (1) Initial measurement Continued
    • 2) Discount rate

In calculating the present value of the lease payment, if it is impossible to determine the interest rate implicit in lease, the incremental borrowing rate of the Group shall be adopted as the discount rate. The incremental borrowing rate is defined as the rate of interest that the Group would have to pay to borrow, over a similar term and with a similar security, the funds necessary to obtain an asset of a similar value to the cost of the right-of-use asset in a similar economic environment. Such rate is related to ① The Group's conditions, including its solvency and credit status; ② the term of "borrowing", being the lease term; ③ the amount of "borrowing", being the amount of the lease liabilities; ④ "mortgage condition", namely, the nature and quality of the underlying assets; ⑤ the economic environment, including the jurisdiction where the lessee is located, the denominated currency, and the timing when contract was signed, etc. The Group takes the bank loan interest rate as the basis and adjusts the above factors to achieve the incremental borrowing interest rate.

(2) Subsequent measurement

After the commencement date, the Group conducts subsequent measurement of the lease liabilities according to the following principles: ① When confirming the interest of the lease liabilities, increase the carrying amount of the lease liabilities; ② When paying the lease payment, reduce the carrying amount of the lease liabilities; ③ When the lease payment changes due to revaluation or lease changes, the book value of the lease liability is remeasured.

The lessee shall calculate the interest expenses of the lease liabilities for each period of the lease term at a cyclically fixed interest rate and include them in profit or loss for the current period, expect for those subject to capitalization. The cyclical interest rate refers to the discount rate used by the Group in the initial measurement of lease liabilities, or the amended discount rate used by the Group when lease liabilities need to be remeasured at the revised discount rate due to changes in lease payment or change of lease.

(3) Remeasurement

After the commencement date, the Group remeasures the lease liability based on the present value of the lease payment after the change and the revised discount rate, if the following situation arises. If the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset is reduced to zero and there is a further reduction in the measurement of the lease liability, the Group recognises any remaining amount of the remeasurement in profit or loss.① a modification in the in-substance fixed lease payments (In this case, discounted using the original discount rate); ② a change in the amounts expected to be paid under residual value guarantees (In this case, discounted using the original discount rate); ③ a change in future lease payments arising from change in an index or rate (In this case, discounted using the revised discount rate); ④ a change in assessment of the purchase option (In this case, discounted using the revised discount rate); ⑤ changes in the evaluation result or actual exercise of the option to renew or terminate the lease (In this case, discounted using the revised discount rate).

29. Provisions

Obligations pertinent to the contingencies which satisfy all the following conditions are recognised as accrued liabilities: (i) The obligation is a current obligation borne by the Group; (ii) it is likely that an outflow of economic benefits will be resulted from the performance of the obligation; and (iii) the amount of the obligation can be reliably measured.

At the balance sheet date, accrued liabilities shall be measured at the best estimate of the necessary expenses required for the performance of existing obligations, after taking into account relevant risks, uncertainties, time value of money and other factors pertinent to the contingencies.

From 1 January 2021 to 30 June 2021

IV. IMPORTANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES — Continued

29. Provisions — Continued

If all or part of the expenses required for settlement of accrued liabilities are expected to be compensated by a third party, the compensation amount shall, on a recoverable basis, be recognised as an asset separately, and compensation amount recognised shall not be more than the carrying amount of the accrued liabilities.

30. Share-based payments

The equity-settled share-based payment in return for employees' services shall be measured based on the fair value of equity instruments granted to the employees on the grant date. If the equity-settled share-based payment cannot be vested until the services are completed in vesting period or until the prescribed performance conditions are met, then within the vesting period, the amount of fair value should, based on the best estimate of the number of vested equity instruments, be included in relevant costs or expenses according to the straight-line method, and the capital reserves should be increased accordingly when the equity instruments can be vested upon grant.

Cash-settled share-based payments are measured at the fair value of liabilities determined on the basis of Shares or other equity instruments assumed by the Group. For those vested immediately upon the grant, the fair value of the liabilities assumed as at the date of grant are charged to relevant costs or expenses and the liabilities are increased accordingly. For those vested upon completion of services for the vesting period or fulfilment of performance conditions, the Group charges the services obtained in the current period to costs or expenses at each balance date during the vetting period based on the best estimate of vesting conditions and according to the fair value of the liability assumed by the Group and adjusts the liabilities accordingly.

At each balance sheet date or settlement date before the settlement of relevant liabilities, the fair value of liabilities are remeasured with respective changes included in the profit or loss for the current period.

If the Group cancelled the granted equity instrument during the vesting period (other than cancellations due to nonfulfilment of the vesting conditions), it is deemed as accelerated vesting, as if all vesting conditions of the equitybased payment scheme during the remaining vesting period have been fulfilled, all expenses of the remaining vesting period are recognised during the period of cancellation of such equity instrument granted.

31. Recognition and measurement of revenue

The revenue of the Group mainly included revenue from sale of goods.

The Group recognizes revenue when a performance obligation in the contract is satisfied, i.e. when "control" of the goods or services underlying the particular performance obligation is transferred to the customers.

When the contract contains two or more performance obligations, on the inception of the contract, the transaction price is allocated to each separate performance obligation in proportion to the stand-alone price of the promised goods or services, and the revenue is recognized according to the transaction price allocated to each performance obligation.

The transaction price is the amount of consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring promised goods or services to a customer, excluding amounts collected on behalf of third parties. The transaction price confirmed by the Group does not exceed the amount that is highly probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is subsequently resolved. An entity shall recognize a refund liability if the entity expects to refund some or all of the consideration to the customer which is not included in the transaction price. Where there is significant financing component in the contract, the Group shall determine the transaction price on the basis of the amount payable in cash when the customer assumes control of the goods or services. The difference between the transaction price and the contract consideration shall be amortized by the effective interest rate method during the contract period. The Group shall not take into account the existence of a significant financing component in the contract if the Group expects, at contract inception, that the period between when the customer acquires the control of a promised good or service and when the customer pays for that good or service will be one year or less.

The Group satisfies a performance obligation over time, if one of the following criteria is met; otherwise, it satisfies a performance obligation at a point in time:

  • (1) The customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits provided by the Group's performance as the Group performs;
  • (2) The customer can control the asset which is created by the Group's performance;
  • (3) The Group's performance does not create an asset with an alternative use and the Group has an enforceable right to receive payment in respect of performance completed to date during the whole contract period.

For a performance obligation satisfied over time, the Group shall recognize revenue over time by measuring the process towards complete satisfaction of the performance obligation. If the Group unable to reasonably measure the progress towards complete satisfaction of a performance obligation and the costs incurred by the Group can be expected to be compensated, the revenue shall be recognized according to the costs incurred until such time that it can reasonably measure the process towards complete satisfaction of the performance obligation.

For a performance obligation satisfied at a point in time, the Group shall recognize revenue when the customer obtains control of relevant goods or services. In judging whether customers obtain control of promised goods or services, the Group considers the following indications:

  • (1) The Group has a present right to receive the payment in respect of the goods or services;
  • (2) The Group has transferred the legal title of the goods to customers;
  • (3) The Group has transferred physical possession of the goods to customers;
  • (4) The group has transferred the significant risks and rewards of the ownership of the goods to the customers;
  • (5) Customers have accepted the goods or services.

The Group's right to consideration in exchange for goods or services that it has transferred to a customer is stated as contract asset. The Group recognises allowances for impairment loss for expected credit loss on contract assets. Receivable is the Group's unconditional right to consideration to be received from a customer. A contract liability is 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.

32. Government grants

Government grants are monetary assets or non-monetary assets transferred from the government to the Group at no consideration, excluding capital considerations from the government as an owner of the Group. Government grants are divided into asset-related government grants and income-related government grants.

Government grants obtained for acquisition or construction of long-term assets or other forms of long-term asset formation are classified as related to assets. Other government grants are classified as related to revenue. If related government documents do not specify the objective of the grants, the grants are classified as related to assets or income as follows: (1) In case a project for which the grants are granted is specified in such documents, the grants are classified as related to assets and income based on the budgeted ratio of the expenditure on asset formation and the expenditure recorded as expenses, where such ratio should be reviewed and, if necessary, changed on each balance sheet date; and (2) in case of general description without specifying any project in such documents, the grants are classified as related to income.

If a government grant is in the form of monetary asset, the item shall be measured at the amount received or receivable. If a government grant is in the form of non-monetary asset, the item shall be measured at fair value. If fair value is not reliably determinable, the item shall be measured at a nominal amount and recognized immediately in profit or loss for the period.

Government grants are generally recognized when received and measured at the amount actually received, but are measured at the amount likely to be received when there is conclusive evidence at the end of the period that the Group will meet related requirements of such grants and will be able to receive the grants. The government grants so measured should also satisfy the following conditions: (1) the amount of the grants has been confirmed with competent authorities in written form or reasonably deduced from related requirements under financial fund management measures officially released without material uncertainties; (2) the grants have been given based on financial support projects and fund management policies officially published and voluntarily disclosed by local financial authorities in accordance with the Requirements for Disclosure of Government Information, where such policies should be open to any company satisfying conditions required and not specifically for certain companies; (3) the date of payment has been specified in related documents and the payment thereof will be covered by corresponding budget to ensure such grants will be paid on time as specified; (4) pursuant to the specific situation between the Group and such grants, other relevant conditions (if any) should be satisfied.

A government grant related to an asset shall be recognized as deferred income, and included in profit or loss over the useful life of the asset based on reasonable and systemic methods. For government grants related to income, where the grant is a compensation for related expenses or losses to be incurred in the subsequent periods, the grant is recognised as deferred income, and included in profit or loss over the periods in which the related costs or losses are recognised; where the grant is a compensation for related expenses or losses already incurred, the grant is recognised immediately in profit or loss for the current period.

At the same time, if the government grants contain both assets related and income related, the accounting treatment will depend on the different parts of government grants; if it is difficult to distinguish, the whole government grants are classified as the income-related government grants.

The government grants related to daily activities of the Group, depending on the essence of economic business, are recognized in other income or used to offset relevant cost and expenses, otherwise, recognized in non-operating income or non-operating expenses.

For the repayment of a government grant already recognized, if there is any balance of related deferred income, the repayment shall be set-off against the book balance of deferred income, and any excess shall be recognized in profit or loss for the period; if there is other circumstance, the repayment shall be recognized immediately in profit or loss for the period.

From 1 January 2021 to 30 June 2021

IV. IMPORTANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES — Continued

33. Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities

Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are recognized based on the temporary differences between the tax bases and the carrying amount of assets and liabilities. A deferred tax asset shall be recognized for deductible losses to the extent that it is probable that tax profit will be available against which the deductible losses can be utilized in accordance with tax law Deferred tax liabilities for temporary taxable differences relating to goodwill are not recognized to the extent they arise from the initial recognition of goodwill. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are not recognized if the temporary differences arise from initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction other than a business combination that at the time of the transaction affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss. As at balance sheet date, deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are determined using the applicable tax rates that are expected to apply when the related deferred income tax asset is realized, or the deferred income tax liability is settled.

Except for abovementioned circumstances, the Group recognises deferred income tax assets that it is probable that future taxable income will be available against which the deductible temporary differences, deductible losses and tax credits can be utilised.

34. Segment statements

The Group identifies operating segments based on the internal organization structure, management requirements and internal reporting system, and discloses segment information of reportable segments on the basis of operating segments.

An operating segment is a component of the Group that satisfies all the following conditions:

  • (1) The component is able to generate revenues and incur expenses in the course of ordinary activities;
  • (2) The operating results of the component are regularly reviewed by the Company's management in order to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and to assess its performance;
  • (3) Information on financial position, operating results and cash flows of the component is available to the Company. The accounting policies of operating segments are the same with the major accounting policies of the Company.

The segment revenue, operating results, assets and liabilities include the amount that is directly attributable to the segment and can be allocated to the segment on a reasonable basis. Revenue, assets and liabilities of an operating segment are determined at the amount before the elimination of inter-group transactions and inter-group current account balances. Transfer price between operating segments is calculated based on terms similar to those of the transactions with other parties.

35. Lease

(1) Identification of lease

Lease refers to a contract under which the leaser transfers the right of use of assets to the lessee for consideration within a certain period of time. At the commencement date of the contract, the Group assesses whether the contract is a lease or contains a lease. If a party to the contract transfers the right of use of an identified asset or several identified assets for consideration within a certain period of time, such contract is regarded as leasing or includes leasing. In order to determine whether the right to control the use of the identified assets within a certain period of time has been transferred in the contract, the Group assesses whether the customers in the contract are entitled to substantially all economic benefits arising from the use of the identified assets and have the right to dominate the use of identified assets during the period of use.

Where a contract concurrently contains multiple separate leases, the Group splits the contract and conduct accounting treatment respectively for all separate leases. Where a contract concurrently includes both leased and non-leased parts, the Group shall split the leased and nonleased parts and conduct accounting treatment.

(2) The Group as lessee

1) Initial measurement

On the beginning date of the lease term, the Company recognizes the right-of-use assets and lease liabilities of the lease. For the recognition and measurement of right-of-use assets and lease liabilities, see "21. Right-of-use assets" and "28. Lease liabilities".

2) Changes in leases

Changes in leases refer to the changes in the lease scope, lease consideration, and lease term other than the original contract terms, including the addition or termination of the rights of use of one or more leased assets, and the extension or shortening of the lease period stipulated in the contract. The effective date of the lease change refers to the date both parties agreed on the lease change.

If modification of lease happens and meets the following conditions, the Group will conduct accounting treatment for the modification of lease as a separate lease: ①the modification of lease expands the scope of lease or extended the lease term by increasing the rights use of one or more leased assets;② the increased consideration and the individual price of the expanded part of lease or extension of lease term are equivalent after adjustment is made in accordance with situation of the contract.

If accounting treatment for the modification of lease as a separate lease is not conducted, on the effective date, the Group shall apportion the consideration of the changed contract in accordance with the relevant provisions of the lease standards, and re-determine the lease period after the change; and discount the modified lease payments using the revised discount rate, in order to remeasure the lease liabilities. When calculating the present value of the lease payments after modification, the Group adopts the interest rate implicit in the lease for the remaining lease periods as the discount rate; if the lease interest rate implicit in the lease for the remaining lease period cannot be readily determined, the lessee's incremental borrowing rate shall then be used by the Group as the discount rate on the effective date of modification of lease. In view of the consequences of the above adjustment of the lease liabilities, the Group conducts accounting treatment in each of the following cases accordingly: ① if the modification of lease results in a narrower scope of lease or a shorter lease term, the lessee shall reduce the book value of the right-of-use assets, and recognise the gain or loss relevant to the partial or complete termination of the leases in the current profit or loss; ② for other modification of lease that may lead to remeasurement of lease liabilities, the lessee adjusts the book value of the right-of-use assets accordingly.

From 1 January 2021 to 30 June 2021

(2) The Group as lessee — Continued

3) Short-term leases and low-value asset leases

For short-term leases with a lease period of not more than 12 months and low-value asset leases which are brand-new assets, the Group does not recognise the right-of-use assets and lease liabilities. During different periods in the lease term, lease payments on short-term leases and leases of low-value assets are recognised as relevant asset costs or current profit or loss on a straight-line basis or other systematic and reasonable methods over the lease term.

(3) The Group as a lessor

Based on assessment as stated in (1), if the contract is lease or includes lease, such lease for which the Group is a lessor are classified as finance or operating on the lease commencement date.

The lessor classified as a finance lease if it transfers substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of an underlying asset. Other leases other than finance lease shall be classified as operating leases.

A lease is usually classified as a finance lease when one or more of the following conditions are satisfied: ① At the expiration of the lease term, the ownership of the leased asset is transferred to the lessee. ② The lessee has the option to purchase the leased asset. The purchase price entered into is sufficiently low compared to the fair value of the leased asset when the option is exercised. Therefore, it can be reasonably determined at the commencement date of the lease that the lessee will exercise the option. ③ Although the ownership of the asset is not transferred, the lease term accounts for the majority of the useful life of the leased assets(not lower than 75% of the useful life of the leased assets). ④On the commencement date of the lease, the present value of the lease receivable amount is basically equivalent to the fair value of the leased asset (not lower than 90% of the fair value of the leased assets). ⑤ The leased assets are of a special nature. If no major modifications are made to them, only the lessee can use them. If one or more of the following conditions exist in a lease, the Company may also be classified as a financial lease: ①If the lessee stops the lease, the lessee shall bear the losses caused by the termination of the lease to the lessor; ② The profits or losses caused by the fluctuation of the fair value of the balance of assets belong to the lessee; ③ The lessee can continue to lease far below the market level for the next period.

1) Accounting treatment for financial lease

Initial measurement

At the beginning of the lease term, the Company confirms the financial lease receivable on the financial lease and terminates the recognition of the financial lease assets. When the initial measurement of the financial lease receivable is made by the Group, the Group uses the net lease investment as the entry value of the finance lease receivables.

    1. Lease Continued
  • (3) The Group as a lessor Continued
    • 1) Accounting treatment for financial lease Continued

Initial measurement — Continued

The net lease investment is the sum of the unsecured residual value and the present value of rental receipts that has not been received on the start date of the lease term, which is discounted according to the interest rate implicit in lease. The amount of the lease receivable refers to the amount that the Group should collect from the lessee for the purpose of transferring the leased assets during the lease term, including: ①The fixed payment amount and the substantial fixed payment amount to be paid by the lessee, if there is a lease incentive, the amount related to the lease incentive is deducted; ②Variable lease payments depending on the index or ratio, and such amounts, are determined at the initial measurement based on the index or proportion at the beginning of the lease period; ③The exercise price of the purchase option, provided that it is reasonably determined that the lessee will exercise the option; ④The lessee exercises the amount to be paid for the termination of the lease option, provided that the lease period reflects the lessee's exercise of the option to terminate the lease; ⑤The residual value of the guarantee provided by the lessee, the party concerned with the lessee and the independent third party with the financial ability to perform the guarantee obligation.

Subsequent measurement

The Group calculates and recognises interest income for each period of the lease term based on a fixed periodic interest rate. Such periodic interest rate refers to the embedded discount rate used to determine the net lease investment. In the case of intermediate lease, if it is impossible to determine the embedded discount rate under such intermediate lease, discount rate of the original lease shall be adopted and adjustments shall be made based on initial direct costs of such intermediate lease. For a financial lease modification that is not accounted for as a separate lease, if the lease is classified as a financial lease when the change becomes effective on the lease start date, its discount rate shall be revised according to relevant regulations.

Accounting treatment for lease modification

If the finance lease changes and meets the following conditions, the Group will account for the change as a separate case for accounting treatment: ①The modification expands the scope of the lease by increasing the right to use one or more leased assets; ②The increased consideration is equal to the individual price of the expanded portion of the lease, as adjusted by the contractual situation.

For a financial lease modification that is not accounted for as a separate lease, if the lease is classified as an operating lease when the change becomes effective on the lease start date, the Group begins accounting as a new lease from the effective date of the lease change and uses the net lease investment before the effective date of the lease change as the book value of the leased asset.

2) Accounting treatment for operating lease

Treatment of lease payment

Rental receipts under an operating lease are recognised as rental income on a straight line basis over the period of the lease.

    1. Lease Continued
  • (3) The Group as a lessor Continued
    • 2) Accounting treatment for operating lease Continued

Incentive measures provided

Total rental is recognised on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease, without excluding the rent-free period, rental fee are recognised during the rent-free period. If the Group has undertaken certain expenses of the lessee, the expenses will be deducted from total rental income, and the rental income will be allocated according to the balance of the rental income after deduction.

Initial direct costs

The initial direct costs incurred by the Group in relation to the operating leases shall be capitalized as the costs of the subject leased asset and apportioned on the same basis as the rental income recognition during the lease term, and included in current profit or loss.

Depreciation

For fixed assets in operating lease, the Group measures the depreciation in accordance with depreciation policies for similar assets; for other operating lease assets, the Group adopts a systematic and reasonable method on amortization.

Variable lease payments

The variable lease payments received by the Group that are not included in the lease receivables related to the operating leases are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they are actually incurred.

Operating lease modification

The Group accounts for a modification to an operating lease as a new lease from the effective date of the modification, considering any received or receivable rental receipts relating to the original lease as part of the lease receipts for the new lease.

36. Critical accounting judgements and estimates

The Group needs to make judgments, estimates and assumptions as to the carrying amount of statement items which cannot be accurately measured in applying its accounting policies due to inherent uncertainties of operation activities. Such judgments, estimates and assumptions are made based on the historical experience of the Group's management and taking into account other relevant factors, and may affect the reported amount of revenue, expenses, assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent liabilities at the balance sheet date. However, the actual results derived from the uncertainties of such estimates may differ from the current estimation of the Group's management, which may cause critical adjustment to the carrying amount of assets or liabilities which may be affected in the future.

The Group regularly reviews the aforesaid judgments, estimates and assumptions on a going concern basis. A revision to accounting estimate is recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if it only affects that period; a revision is recognised in the period of the current and future periods if it affects both current and future periods.

From 1 January 2021 to 30 June 2021

IV. IMPORTANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES — Continued

36. Critical accounting judgements and estimates — Continued

At the balance sheet date, the critical areas where the Group needs to make judgments, estimates and assumptions as to the amount of items in the financial statements are set out below:

(1) Revenue recognition

As stated in note (31) revenue recognition principles and measurement methods above, the Group makes the following significant accounting judgements and estimates in terms of revenue recognition: identifying customer contracts; estimating the recoverability of the considerations that are entitled to be obtained by transferring goods to customers; identifying the performance obligation in the contract; estimating the variable consideration in the contract and cumulative revenue recognised where it is highly probable that a significant reversal therein will not occur when the relevant uncertainty is resolved; assessing whether there is a significant financing component in the contract; estimating the individual selling price of the individual performance obligation in the contract; determining whether the performance obligation is performed in a certain period of time or at a certain point in time; the determination of the progress of the contract, etc.

The Group makes judgements primarily based on historical experiences and works. Changes in these significant judgements and estimates can have impacts on the operating revenues, operating costs, and profit or loss of the current or subsequent periods and could have significant impacts.

(2) Impairment of financial assets

The Group uses the expected credit loss model to assess the impairment of financial assets. The application of the expected credit loss model requires significant judgements and estimations, and all reasonable and evidenced information, including forward-looking information, should be considered. In making such judgements and estimations, the Group infers the expected changes in the debtor's credit risk based on the historical data in combination with economic policies, macroeconomic indicators, industry risks, external market environment, technical environment and customers' situation.

(3) Allowance for inventories

In accordance with the accounting policies of inventories and by measuring at the lower of cost and net realisable value, the Group makes allowance for inventories which have costs higher than net realisable value or become obsolete and slow-moving. Write-down of inventories to their net realisable values is based on the valuation of marketability and net realisable values of inventories. Determination of impairment of inventories requires the management to make judgments and estimates on the basis of definite evidence and taking into account the purpose of holding inventories and impacts of events after balance sheet date. The difference between the actual outcome and original estimates shall affect the carrying amount of inventories and provision for and reversal of the provision for the impairment of inventories during the period in which the estimates are revised.

(4) Provision for impairment of long term assets

At the balance sheet date, the Group makes its judgment as to whether there is any evidence indicating potential impairment of non-current assets other than financial assets. Intangible assets with indefinite useful life shall be tested for impairment when there is any indication of impairment in addition to the annual impairment testing. Other non-current assets other than financial assets shall be tested for impairment if there is any evidence indicating that their carrying amount cannot be recovered.

When the carrying amount of an asset or asset groups is higher than the recoverable amount, which is the higher of its fair value less costs of disposal and the present value of the future cash flows expected to be derived from the asset, it indicates impairment.

From 1 January 2021 to 30 June 2021

IV. IMPORTANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES — Continued

36. Critical accounting judgements and estimates — Continued

(4) Provision for impairment of long term assets — Continued

The net amount of the fair value less costs of disposal is determined by making reference to the price in a sale agreement in an arm's length transaction or the observable market price less the incremental costs directly attributable to such assets disposal.

In projecting the present value of the future cash flows, critical judgments shall be made to the output, selling price and relevant operating costs of such assets (or asset groups) and the discount rate applied in calculating the discount. In estimating the recoverable amount, the Group may adopt all relevant materials including the projections as to the output, selling price and relevant operating costs based on reasonable and supportive assumptions.

(5) Depreciation and amortisation

The Group shall provide depreciation and amortisation for investment properties, fixed assets and intangible assets over their useful lives and after taking into account of their residual value by using straight-line method. The Group shall regularly review the useful lives to determine the amount depreciated and amortised to be accounted for in each reporting period. The useful life is determined by the Group according to its previous experience on similar assets and estimated technical updates. If there is any material change in the estimate previously made, the depreciation and amortisation will be adjusted over the future period.

(6) Deferred income tax assets

The deferred income tax assets will be recognised for all unused tax losses to the extent that it is probable there will be sufficient taxable profits against which the loss is utilised. This requires the Group's management to apply numerous judgments to estimate the timing and amount of the future taxable profits so as to determine the amount of deferred income tax assets to be recognised with reference to the tax planning strategy.

(7) Income tax

There are some uncertainties in tax treatment and calculation for some transactions of the Group during its ordinary course of business. The approval from the tax authority is required for pretax expending of some items. Any difference between the final determined outcome of such tax matters and the initially estimated amount will exert an effect on the current income tax and deferred income tax during the period in which the final amount is determined.

(8) Sales discount

In recognising revenue from sales of goods, the Group estimates the relevant expenses in accordance with the terms of the sales agreement and advance the sales discounts to customers and deduct the sales revenue of the goods.

(9) Provisions

Provision for matters including product quality guarantee shall be recognised in terms of contract, current knowledge and historical experience. If the contingent event has formed a practical obligation which probably results in outflow of economic benefits from the Group, a projected liability shall be recognised on the basis of the best estimate of the expenditures to settle relevant practical obligation. Recognition and measurement of the projected liability significantly rely on the management's judgments in consideration of the assessment of factors including relevant risks and uncertainties related to the contingent events.

From 1 January 2021 to 30 June 2021

(9) Provisions — Continued

In particular, the Group makes provisions for after-sales quality maintenance commitments to the customers in respect of sold and repaired goods. In making provisions, the Group considers recent repair experience and data, but recent repair experience may not be able to reflect the future repair situation. Any increase or decrease in such provisions may affect the profit or loss in the future years.

37. Changes in critical accounting policies and estimates

(1) Changes in critical accounting policies

There are no changes in critical accounting policies of the Group in the current period.

(2) Changes in critical accounting estimates

There are no changes in critical accounting estimates of the Group in the current period.

(3) Notes to intangible assets

  • 1) Amortization of intangible assets amounted to RMB117,531,038.50 for the half year of 2021, compared to that of RMB114,538,275.45 for the half year of 2020.
  • 2) As at the end of the period, no land use rights were pledged.
  • 3) As of 30 June 2021, the useful life of the trademark rights with a carrying value of RMB104,217,827.00 is uncertain. The Group can apply for extension of the trademark rights at a lower fee upon the expiration of the protection period of the trademark rights, and the trademark rights will bring economic benefits to the Group during the operation period based on the comprehensive judgment of the product life cycle and market conditions.

The Company calculated the cash flows generated from the trademark rights using the relief from royalty method, and therefore the recoverable amount was estimated based on the trademark rights assets, which is determined based on the present value of expected future cash flows. The Company predicted revenue growth rate and prepared net profit and cash flow forecasts for the next 5 years based on historical actual operating data, long-term planning, signed contracts and other data, combined with market capacity growth rate, market share and external competition and other factors, and the pre-tax discount rate used in the cash flow forecast was 19.40% assuming that the cash flow remains unchanged after 5 years.

According to the results of the impairment test, there was no further impairment of these trademark rights at the end of the period and no provision for impairment was made.

After testing, the Company's management estimated that no impairment provision for goodwill was required during the Reporting Period.

(3) Relevant information on the asset group which goodwill belongs to or group of assets

The goodwill formed by the Company's acquisition of Hisense Hitachi is reflected in the operation of air conditioning business asset group of Hisense Hitachi at the acquisition date. Since it can generate cash flow independently, the Company regards development, design, manufacturing and sales of air-conditioning products of Hisense Hitachi as an individual asset group and allocated the goodwill of RMB132,571,746.36 to the asset group.

IX. RISKS RELATING TO FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The Group's major financial instruments include: bank deposits and cash, transactional financial assets, notes receivable, receivables, other receivables, notes payable, payables, other payables and bank borrowings. Details of these financial instruments are disclosed in the relevant notes.

Risks relating to the above-mentioned financial instruments include: credit risk, liquidity risk, interest rate risk and foreign currency risk.

1. Credit risk

Credit risk refers to the risk to which the Group is exposed in relation to financial losses due to the failure of clients or financial instrument counterparties to fulfill their contractual obligations. Such risk mainly arises from bank balances, trade and other receivables and derivative financial instruments.

The Group maintains substantially all of its bank deposits in domestic financial institutions with higher credit ratings. The Board of the Group believes that these assets are not exposed to significant credit risk that would cause losses.

The Group mitigates its exposure to risks in relation to trade and other receivables by dealing with diversified customers with solid financial position. Certain new customers are required by the Group to make cash payment in order to minimise credit risk. The Group has maintained strict control over its outstanding receivables and has established a credit control policy to minimise credit risk. In addition, all receivable balances are monitored on an ongoing basis and the overdue balances are followed up by senior management.

The credit risk in relation to derivative financial instruments is insignificant as the counterparties are banks with high credit ratings assigned by international credit rating agencies.

The maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date is the carrying amount of each class of financial assets shown on the consolidated financial statements.

2. Liquidity risk

In respect of liquidity risk management, the Group monitors and maintains its cash and cash equivalents at a level which is adequate, in the opinion of the management, to finance the Group's operations and mitigate the effects of short-term fluctuations in cash flows. The Group's treasury department is responsible for maintaining a balance between continuity and flexibility of funding through the use of bank credit in order to meet the Group's liquidity requirements.

In order to mitigate the liquidity risk, the directors have carried out a detailed review on the liquidity of the Group, including maturity profile of its accounts and other payables, and the availability of borrowings and loan financing provided by Hisense Finance, and it is concluded that the Group has adequate funding to fulfill its short-term obligations and capital expenditure requirements.

IX. RISKS RELATING TO FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS — Continued

3. Interest rate risk

The Group is exposed to interest rate risk arisen from the changes in interest rates of interest-bearing financial assets and liabilities. Interest-bearing financial assets are mainly bank deposits, of which the variable interest rates are mostly short-term in nature whereas interest-bearing financial liabilities are primarily short-term bank borrowings. As at 30 June 2021, the Group's bank borrowings are at fixed rates. As such, any change in interest rates is not considered to have significant impact on the Group's performance.

4. Currency risk

Currency risk refers to the risk of losses arisen from the adverse change in exchange rates with respect to investments and transactions denominated in foreign currencies. The Group's monetary assets and transactions are mainly denominated in RMB, HKD, USD, JPY and EUR. The exchange rates between RMB, HKD, USD, JPY and EUR are not pegged, and there is fluctuation in exchange rates between RMB, USD, JPY and EUR.

As at the end of Reporting Period, the carrying amounts of the Group's monetary assets and monetary liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are as follows:

Currency Closing balances Opening balances
Assets Liabilities Assets Liabilities
USD 414,049,567.56 673,025,346.90 534,995,850.29 34,543,163.55

2. Valuation techniques and qualitative and quantitative information of significant parameters used for items at Level 2 fair value measurement on a recurring and a non-recurring basis

The Group's items at Level 2 fair value measurement are forward foreign exchange settlement and sales contracts. As at the balance sheet date, the Group had obtained forward exchange rate quotations from contracted banks, which were determined based on the remaining term to maturity. The fair value of such forward foreign exchange settlement and sales contracts were determined by multiplying the difference between the quotations and agreed exchange rates for such forward foreign exchange settlement and sales contracts by the amount for forward foreign exchange settlement and sales.

3. Valuation techniques and qualitative and quantitative information of significant parameters used for items at Level 3 fair value measurement on a recurring and a non-recurring basis

The Group's items at Level 3 fair value measurement are wealth management products of banks and receivables financing. The forecast future cash flows of wealth management products of banks are based on expected rate of return and the unobservable input is the expected rate of return. The receivables financing are notes receivable held by the Group, which have relatively short remaining maturity and the carrying amount of which approximate to their fair value, and adopt carrying amount as their fair value.

A gain or loss from change in fair value of RMB15,616,676.74 was recognised in respect of the wealth management products of banks during the period. Changes in the unobservable input (expected rate of return) do not result in significant changes in fair value. At the end of the period, the Group determined the fair value to be the forecast future cash flows based on the expected rate of return, and the changes in valuation techniques had a relatively insignificant impact on the financial statements.
