Held-to-maturity investments are initially recognized at the sum of the fair value (after deduction of bond interests whose period has matured but not charged yet) and the related transactions fees by the Company.

During the holding period, held-to-maturity investments are measured using the effective interest rate method on the basis of amortized cost. Gains or losses arising from amortization, impairment or derecognition are recognized in the profit or loss for the current period.

③ Loans and Receivables

Receivables refer to the right to receive cash or another financial assets caused by the sale of goods and the provision of labor services to external customers by the Company, and receivables in other companies except debt instruments quoted in active markets, including accounts receivables, other receivables and long-term receivables. Receivables are initially recognized at the contract price charged to the buyers or the agreed consideration. During the holding period, receivables are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method. Upon disposal, the difference between the sale value and the book value of the receivables shall be accounted into profit or loss of the current period on its recovery or disposal.

④ Available-for-sale financial assets

Available-for-sale financial assets refer to non-derivative financial assets that are designated as available for sale upon initial recognition and financial assets not classified as the other three categories of financial assets as described above.

Available-for-sale financial assets are initially recognized at the sum of the fair value (after deduction of cash dividends which has been declared but not distributed or bond interests which were due but not received yet) and the related transactions fees by the Company.

Available-for-sale financial assets are subsequently measured at fair value. The premium or discount is amortized using effective interest rate method and recognized as interest income or expense. A gain or loss arising from a change in the fair value of an available-for-sale financial asset is recognized as other comprehensive income in capital reserve, except for impairment losses and foreign exchange gains or losses resulted from monetary financial assets, until the financial asset is derecognized or determined to be impaired, at which time the cumulative gain or loss previously recognized is transferred to the profit or loss for the current period. Interests and dividends relating to an available-for-sale financial asset are recognized in the profit or loss for the current period.

Upon disposal, the difference between acquisition consideration and the carrying value of financial assets shall be recognized as investment profits and losses, and the accumulated changes in fair value from the disposal shall be at the same time transferred from the shareholders' equity to investment profits and losses.

⑤ Other financial liabilities

Other financial liabilities refer to financial liabilities not measured at their fair values and the variation of which is not accounted into the profit or loss of the current period.

Other financial liabilities are initially recognized at the sum of the fair value and relevant transaction expenses. During the holding period, other financial liabilities are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method. Gains or losses upon amortization or derecognition are accounted into profit or loss of the current period.

(3) Transfer of financial assets

Financial assets are derecognized when the Group has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of their ownership to the transferee or when the substantial risks and rewards of their ownership are neither transferred nor retained but the Group ceases the control over the financial assets.

The principle of "Substance over Form" is adopted in judging the termination or not of recognizing financial assets. The transfer of financial assets is also divided into entire transfer and partial transfer. If the transfer of an entire financial asset satisfies the conditions for derecognition, the difference between the amounts of the following 2 items shall be recorded in the profits and losses of the current period:

  • A. The carrying amount of the transferred financial asset;
  • B. The aggregate consideration received from the transfer, and the cumulative amount of the changes of the fair value originally recorded in the shareholders' equity (in the event that the financial asset involved in the transfer is an available-for-sale financial asset).

If the transfer of partial financial asset satisfies the conditions for derecognition, the carrying amount of the entire transferred financial asset shall be allocated between the portion that has been derecognized and the portion that has not been derecognized, according to their respective relative fair values, and the difference between the amounts of the following 2 items shall be recorded in the profits and losses of the current period:

  • A. The carrying amount of the portion that has been derecognized;
  • B. The aggregate consideration of the portion that has been derecognized, and the portion of the cumulative amount of the changes in the fair value originally recorded in the shareholders' equity which is corresponding to the portion that has been derecognized (in the event that the financial asset involved in the transfer is an available-for-sale financial asset).

Financial assets continue to be recognized when their transfer does not fulfill the derecognition conditions, and considerations received are recognized as financial liabilities.

For a financial asset being transferred with continued involvement, the Company continues to recognize the financial asset being transferred to the extent of its continued involvement, and recognizes a financial liability at the same time.

(4) Conditions for derecognizing financial liabilities

If the current obligations of financial liabilities has been discharged or partially discharged, then the Company shall derecognize the financial liabilities in whole or in part thereof; if the Company signs an agreement with creditors in order to raise new financial liabilities to replace the existing financial liabilities, and the terms of the new financial liabilities are substantially different from the terms of the existing financial liabilities, the Company shall derecognize the existing financial liabilities, and begin to recognize the new financial liabilities at the same time.

If the terms of the existing financial liabilities have been substantially modified in whole or in part, the Company shall derecognize the existing financial liabilities in whole or in part, and at the same time, recognize the modified financial liabilities as a new one.

On derecognizing the financial liabilities in whole or in part, the difference between the book value of the existing financial liabilities and the payment (including the transfer-out of non-cash assets and new financial liabilities to be recognized) shall be accounted into the profit or loss for the current period.

If the Company repurchases part of the financial liabilities, the Company shall allocate the entire financial liabilities between the part to be continuously recognized and the part to be derecognized in accordance with their fair values on the date of repurchasing. The difference between the derecognized book value and the payment (including the transfer-out of non-cash assets or new financial liabilities to be recognized) shall be included into profit and loss for the current period.

(5) Determination of fair value of financial assets and liabilities

  • ① If there is an active market for a financial asset or financial liability, the quoted price in the active market is used to establish the fair value of the financial asset or financial liability.
  • ② If no active market exists for a financial instrument, its fair value is determined using appropriate valuation techniques.

(6) Impairment of financial assets (excluding accounts receivable)

The Group assesses the carrying amount of every financial asset (excluding accounts receivable) at the balance sheet date. If there is objective evidence indicating a financial asset may be impaired, a provision is made for the impairment.

① Impairment provision of held-to-maturity investments:

Impairment provisions are measured at the difference between the carrying amount and the present value of the estimated future cash flows. Detailed reference to methods of measurement for impairment provision of receivables is carried out.

If there is objective evidence that the value of the financial assets recovered and the recovery can be related to an event occurring after the impairment was recognized (such as an increase in the credit rating of the debtor), the previously recognized impairment loss is reversed and recognized in profit or loss. However, the reversal shall not result in a carrying amount of the financial asset exceeds what the amortized cost would have been had the impairment loss not been recognized at the date of reversal.

(6) Impairment of financial assets (excluding receivables) — Continued

② Impairment provision of available-for-sale financial assets:

If there is objective evidence of a significant prolonged decrease in the fair value of an available-for-sale financial asset, it can be ascertained that the available-for-sale financial assets has impaired and impairment provision shall be made. Upon impairment provision is made in respect of impaired available-for-sale financial assets, the cumulative loss from the decline in fair value originally recognized directly in shareholder's equity is removed. The cumulative loss removed equals the difference of the initial acquisition cost of the available-for-sale financial asset (net of principal payment and amortization) and current fair value less impairment losses previously recognized in the profit or loss.

If after an impairment loss has been recognized on an available-for-sale debt instrument, the fair value of the debt instrument increases in a subsequent period and the increase can be objectively related to an event occurring after the impairment loss was recognized, the previously recognized impairment loss is reversed and recognized in profit or loss. For the impairment loss recognized on an equity instrument classified as available-for-sale, any increase in fair value that occurs after the impairment is reversed in shareholder's equity, not in profit or loss.

10. Accounts receivables

(1) Accounts receivables that are individually significant and subject to separate provision:

The criteria and amount for individually significant receivables.

Accounts for 10% or above (10% inclusive) of the total accounts receivables, except the Greencool receivables.

Method of provision for bad debt in individually significant receivables:

Individually significant receivables are subject to separate impairment assessment, where there is objective evidence of impairment, the amount of the present value of the future cash flows expected to be derived from the receivables is less than the carrying amount shall be treated as impairment loss and accounted for as provision for bad debts. Where there is no impairment in according to the separate impairment assessment, accounts receivables shall be combined into certain groups with similar credit risk characteristics and subject to impairment assessment by groups.

    2. (2) Receivables that are combined into certain groups and subject to provision by groups:

Basis for determination of groups is as follows

Group 1 Groups of accounts receivables based on ageing characteristics

Group 2 Greencool receivables.

Method for provision for bad debts by groups

  • Group 1 Based on ageing analysis method.
  • Group 2 Individual impairment assessment, where the amount of the present value of the future cash flows expected to be derived from the receivables is less than the carrying amount shall be treated as impairment loss and accounted for as provision for bad debts.

For Group 1, receivables which are provided for bad debts using age analysis:

Ageing Ratio for provision for
bad debts (%)
Within 3 months (including 3 months) 0
Over 3 months but within 6 months (including 6 months) 10
Over 6 months but within 1 year (including 1 year) 50
Over 1 year 100

(3) Receivables which are individually insignificant but subject to separate provision:

Reason for individual provision: Receivables which are individually insignificant in one
year or above.
Method for provision for bad debts Receivables which shall be separated from groups for
individual assessment, where there is objective evidence
of impairment. The amount of the present value of
the future cash flows expected to be derived from
the receivables is less than the carrying amount shall
be treated as impairment loss and accounted for as
provision for bad debts.

11. Inventories

11. Inventory— Continued

(2) Cost of inventories

Raw materials are measured in accordance with the standard cost upon delivery, and amortized at the end of each month according to cost differences in order to adjust the standard cost to actual cost.

Work in progress and finished goods are measured in accordance with the actual cost upon delivery, whereas the actual cost is determined using the weighted average method.

(3) Basis for the determination of net realizable value and the method of provision for declines in value of inventories

The net realizable value of finished goods, commodity stocks, materials ready for sale, and commodity inventories on immediate sales, is determined based on the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated selling and distribution costs and related taxes.

The net realizable value of raw material is determined based on the estimated selling price of finished goods in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs to completion and estimated costs necessary to make the sale, and related taxes;

For inventories held for fulfilling sales contract or labor contract, the net realizable value is based on the contract price; if the amounts of inventories held exceed the amounts of sales order specified in the contract, the excess amount is determined based on the market price.

The Company takes inventory checkup at end of each accounting period, and states or adjusts impairment loss on inventories at the lower of cost or net realizable value. The provision for impairment loss on inventories is made on an individual basis in principle; for inventories in large quantity and with relatively low unit prices, provision for impairment loss on inventories shall be determined on an aggregated basis. The Company consolidates the provision for impairment loss on inventories related to the production and sales of products in the same region, with the same or similar utilization and purpose, and difficult to calculate separately. In case the factors causing the write-down of the inventories' value disappear, the write-down amount shall be reversed and the provision of impairment shall be charged to the profit or loss for the current period.

(4) Inventories system

The group adopts the perpetual inventories system.

(5) Amortization of low-value consumables and packaging materials

Low-value consumables are expensed upon issuance.

Packaging materials are expensed upon issuance.

12. Long-term equity investments

(1) Initial recognition

Long-term equity investments acquired from business combination involving entities under common control

For long-term equity investments acquired from business combination involving entities under common control, the share of the book value of the shareholders' equity of the merged enterprise as at the date of combination after adjustments in accordance with the Company's accounting policies shall be taken as the initial investment cost.

Long-term equity investments acquired from business combination involving entities not under common control

For long-term equity investments acquired from business combination involving entities not under common control, the cost of combination as at the date of acquisition shall be taken as the initial investment cost.

For long-term equity investments acquired from business combination not involving entities under common control and achieved in stages, the initial cost comprises the carrying amount of previously held equity instrument in the acquiree immediately before the acquisition date, and the additional investment cost at the acquisition date.

Long-term equity investment acquired by other methods

The initial investment cost of a long-term equity investment obtained by making payment in cash shall be accounted for its actual cash paid.

The initial investment cost of a long-term equity investment obtained on the basis of issuing equity securities shall be the fair value of the equity securities issued (excluding declared but not yet paid cash dividends or profits received from the investee).

The initial investment cost of a long-term equity investment of an investor shall be the value stipulated in the investment contract or agreement except the unfair value stipulated in the contract or agreement.

Under the conditions that the exchange of non-monetary assets is characterized with business essence, and the fair value of the assets received or surrendered can be measured in a reliable way, the book value of assets received is determined on basis of the fair value of assets surrendered, except there are objective evidences for the higher reliability of the fair value of assets received. For the exchange of non-monetary assets not meeting the above criteria, the book value of assets surrendered and related taxes shall be accounted as cost of assets received.

The initial investment cost of long-term equity investment obtained by debt restructuring shall be measured at fair value.

(2) Subsequent measurement and recognition of profits and losses

The cost method is used when the Company does not jointly control or has significant influence over the investee, and the long-term equity investments are not quoted in active markets, and no reliably measurable fair value. The cost method is also used for long-term equity investments over the subsidiaries. Long-term equity investments under common control or significant influence shall be accounted by equity method.

Upon accounting of long-term equity investments by the cost method:

Apart from the actual consideration paid or cash dividends or profits already declared but not yet paid which are included in the consideration, the Company recognizes investment returns according to cash dividends or profits declared by the investee.

Upon accounting of long-term equity investments by the equity method:

  • ① If the initial cost of a long-term equity investment exceeds the investor's share of the fair value of the investee's identifiable net assets at the date of acquisition, the initial cost of the long-term equity investment may not be adjusted; if the initial cost of a long-term equity investment is lower than the investor's share of the fair value of the investee's identifiable net assets at the date of acquisition, the difference shall be included in the profit or loss for the current period and the cost of the long-term equity investment shall be adjusted at the same time.
  • ② The Group recognizes its share of the net profit or loss made by the investee as investment income or losses, and adjusts the carrying amount of the investment accordingly. The Group recognizes its share of the investee's net profit or loss after making appropriate adjustments to the investee's net profit or loss based on the fair value of the investee's identifiable assets at the acquisition date, and the Group's accounting policies and periods, and eliminating the portion of the profit or loss arising from inter-group transactions with joint ventures and associates according to its share ratio (but impairment losses for assets arising from inter-group transactions shall be recognized in full).
  • ③ The Group's share of net losses of the investee is recognized to the extent that the carrying amount of the long-term equity investment, together with any long-term interests that in substance form part of its net investment in the investee is reduced to zero, except that the Group has incurred obligations to assume additional losses. Subsequent net profits realized by the investee are recognized as share of profits after setting off its share of un-recognized losses.
  • ④ Entitlements to profits or cash dividends declared by the investee reduce the carrying value of the long-term investments.
  • ⑤ For the changes in the shareholders' equity other than those arising from its profit and loss of the investee, the Company records directly in capital reserve, provided that the Group's proportion of shareholding in investee remains unchanged.

(3) Definition of joint control and significant influence over the investees

① Evidences for common control:

Joint control is the contractually agreed sharing of control over an economic activity. Generally upon the establishment of a joint venture, significant financial and production, operating and decision-making procedures of the joint venture require the unanimous consent of the parties sharing control. Common control is evidenced by the following three bases:

  • A. None of the parties shall control the production and operating activities of the joint venture on a sole basis.
  • B. Decision-making related to the fundamental operation of the joint venture requires the unanimous consent of the joint venture parties.
  • C. The joint venture parties may by way of contract or agreement appoint one of the joint venture parties to carry out management of the ordinary activities of the joint venture, given that the management power shall be exercised within the financial, operating and policy-making scope already unanimously agreed by the joint venture parties.
  • ② Evidences for significant influence:

Significant influence refers to the power to participate in making decisions on the financial and operating policies of an entity, but not the power to control or jointly control over the formulation of such policies with other parties. When the Company directly or indirectly through a subsidiary owns more than 20% (including 20%) but less than 50% of the voting rights of an investee, significant influence over the investee is established unless there is clear evidence that the situation constitutes no significant influence as the Company is unable to participate in making decisions on the financial and operating policies of the investee. When the Company owns less than 20% of the voting rights of an investee, significant influence over the investee is generally not established unless there is clear evidence that the situation constitutes significant influence as the Company is able to participate in making decisions on the financial and operating policies of the investee.

(4) Test of impairment and recognition of provision for impairment

Please see note 2.25 for the test for impairment and recognition of provision for impairment for long-term equity investments in subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates.

For a long-term investment which investee is not under common control or significant influence, no quoted price in an active market and no reliable fair value measurement, please see note 2.9(6) for the test for impairment and recognition of provision for impairment.

13. Investment properties

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

Investment properties are initially recognized at the cost, and are depreciated or amortized on a basis consistent with the depreciation and amortization policies which the Group adopts for fixed assets and intangible assets.

Please see note 2.25 for recognition of impairment for investment properties using cost model for subsequent measurement.

14. Fixed assets

(1) Recognition of fixed assets

Fixed assets are tangible assets that are held for producing goods, rendering of services, leasing out to other parties or administrative purposes, with useful life more than one accounting year. Fixed assets are recognized when they meet the following conditions:

  • ① When it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the fixed asset will flow into the Company, and
  • ② The cost of the fixed asset can be reliably measured.

(2) Depreciation of fixed assets

Fixed assets are depreciated by categories using the straight-line method over their useful life. Depreciations are started when the fixed assets are available for intended use, and are terminated when the fixed assets are derecognized or classified as non-current assets held-for-sale (except fixed assets that are fully depreciated and are still in use, and lands that are accounted separately). When no impairment provision is made, the annual depreciation rates for different fixed assets which are determined by residual value, asset category, and estimated useful life are as follows:

Annual
Rate of residual depreciation rates
Category Useful life (year) value (%) (%)
Buildings 20-50 0-10 1.8-5
Machinery and equipment 5-20 5-10 4.5-19

(1) Categories of construction in progress

Constructions in progress are measured at actual cost and are accounted for by individual projects.

(2) Time-point of transfer from construction in progress to fixed assets

Constructions in progress are transferred to fixed assets when all the actual expenses incurred and are ready for their intended use. When construction in progress is ready for its intended use but has not completed the final accounts, it is transferred to fixed assets using an estimated cost on the day when it is ready for intended use and depreciation is made accordingly pursuant to the Company's depreciation policy , the estimated cost can be based on project budget, project price or actual construction cost. The estimated cost is adjusted by the actual cost after the completion of the final accounts without adjustments to the depreciation already provided.

(3) Impairment loss of construction in progress

Please see note 2.25 for recognition of impairment of construction in progress.

16. Borrowing costs

(1) Principles of recognition for capitalization of the borrowing costs

Assets eligible for capitalization refer to the fixed assets, investment properties, inventories and other assets that require a substantially long period of time of acquisition and construction or producing activity for its intended use or for sale. Borrowing costs include interest on borrowings, amortization of discounts or premiums, ancillary costs, and exchange differences arising from foreign currency borrowings.

Where the borrowing costs incurred by the Company can be directly attributable to the acquisition and construction or producing activities of assets eligible for capitalization, it shall be capitalized and recorded as part of the costs of relevant assets. Other borrowing costs shall be recognized as expenses on the basis of the actual amount incurred, and shall be recorded into the profit or loss for the current period.

The borrowing costs shall not be capitalized unless they meet the following requirements at the same time:

  • ① The expenditures for asset are already incurred, which shall include expenditures in form of cash, transfer of non-cash assets or interest bearing debts paid for the acquisition and construction or producing activities of assets eligible for capitalization;
  • ② The borrowing costs have been incurred;
  • ③ The acquisition and construction or producing activities necessary to prepare the asset for its intended use or sale have already commenced.

16. Borrowing costs — Continued

(2) Period of capitalization of the borrowing costs

Borrowing costs are capitalized as a cost of the qualifying assets being acquired, constructed or produced until they become ready for its intended use or sale; and the capitalization of borrowing costs ceases when the asset under acquisition or construction becomes ready for its intended use, the borrowing costs incurred thereafter are recognized in profit or loss for the current year.

Where the acquisition and construction or producing activities of a qualified asset is interrupted abnormally and the interruption period lasts for more than 3 months, the capitalization of the borrowing costs shall be suspended. Should the interruption be a necessary step for the asset qualified for capitalization under construction or production to become ready for its intended use or sale, the borrowing cost shall continue to be capitalised. Borrowing costs arising during the interruption period shall be recognised in the profit or loss for the period until the construction or production of the asset is resumed, and by then capitalisation of the borrowing costs shall also be resumed. Where part of the acquisition and construction or producing activities of asset qualified for capitalization is completed and available for separate use, the capitalization of borrowing cost for that part of asset shall be ceased.

(3) Calculation of capitalized borrowing costs

For the specific borrowings obtained for the acquisition or construction of a qualifying fixed asset, the amount of interest which is eligible for capitalization (deducting any interest income earned from depositing the unused specific borrowings in the banks or any investment income arising on the temporary investment of those borrowing) and the ancillary expense incurred in relation to the specific borrowings shall be capitalized until the qualified asset is ready for the intended use or sale.

For the general borrowings obtained for the acquisition or construction of a qualifying fixed asset, the amount of interest which is eligible for capitalization is determined by applying the weighted average effective interest rate of general borrowings used, to the weighted average of the excess amount of cumulative expenditures on the asset over the amount of specific borrowings. The capitalization rate shall be calculated and determined in light of the weighted average interest rate of the general borrowing.

Where there is any discount or premium, the amount of discounts or premiums shall be amortized in each accounting period by real interest rate method, and an adjustment shall be made to the amount of interests in each period.

During the capitalization period, exchange differences related to principal and interest on a specific purpose borrowings denominated in foreign currencies are capitalized as part of the cost of the qualifying assets.

17. Intangible asset

(1) Initial recognition of intangible assets

Intangible assets are initially recognized based on the actual cost. Where the payment of purchase price for intangible assets is delayed beyond the normal credit terms, which is of financing nature, the cost of intangible assets shall be determined based on the current value of the purchase price.

The intangible assets acquired through the debt restructuring shall be accounted at the fair value of the intangible assets; under the conditions that the exchange of non-monetary assets is characterized with business essence, and the fair value of the assets received or surrendered can be measured in a reliable way, the book value of assets received is recognized on basis of the fair value of assets surrendered, except there are objective evidences for the higher reliability of the fair value of assets received. For the exchange of those non-monetary assets not meeting the above criteria, the book value of assets surrendered and related taxes shall be accounted as cost of assets received and not recognized in the profit and loss.

(2) Subsequent measurement of intangible assets

Useful life of intangible assets

The useful life of the acquired intangible assets is determined upon acquisition. For intangible asset with a finite useful life, the useful life or similar measurement unit for usage is estimated. Intangible assets with unforeseeable economic benefits to the Company are deemed to be intangible assets with indefinite useful life.

Amortization of intangible assets

Intangible asset with a finite useful life are amortized over the estimated useful life from the month of acquisition using the straight-line method. Intangible assets with indefinite useful life are not amortized but a test for impairment is carried out at the end of the year.

③ The useful life and method of amortization for intangible assets are reviewed and adjusted at least annually at the end of each year.

When an intangible asset is expected to no longer generate any future economic benefits to the Company, the carrying value of the intangible asset is entirely transferred into the profit or loss for the period.

Impairment of intangible assets

Please see note 2.25 for the recognition of impairment of intangible assets.

  • (1) The Group classifies the costs of an internal research and development project into expenditure on the research phase and expenditure on the development phase.
  • (2) Specific criteria for the classification of research phase and development phase for internal research and development projects:
  • Research phase: the phase which the planned investigation and research are carried out with purpose of obtaining and understanding new scientific or technical knowledge.
  • Development phase: before commercial production and utilization, the phase 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, etc.

    2. (3) Expenditure on the research phase of internal research and development projects are recognized in profit or loss for the current period.
    3. (4) Expenditure on the development phase of internal research and development projects is capitalized only if all of the following conditions are satisfied at the same time:
    4. ① It is technically feasible to complete the intangible asset so that it will be available for use or sale;
    5. ② Management intends to complete the intangible asset, and to use or sell;
    6. ③ It can be demonstrated how the intangible assets will generate economic benefits or the intangible assets has its own market, or that they can be used in case of internal utilization;
    7. ④ There are adequate technical, financial and other resources to complete the development and the ability to use or sell the intangible assets;
    8. ⑤ The expenditure attributable to intangible assets during its development phase can be reliably measured.

19. Long-term prepaid expenses

  • (1) Long-term prepayments include expenditures incurred but should be recognized as expenses over more than one year in the current and subsequent periods. Long-term prepayments are amortized on a straight-line basis over the expected beneficial period.
  • (2) Pre-operating expenses should be recognized in profit or loss in the month as incurred.

20. Provisions

  • (1) Provision for pending litigation, product warranties, onerous contracts etc, are recognized when the Company has a present obligation, it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation, and the amount of obligation can be measured reliably.
  • (2) A provision is initially measured at the best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the related present obligation. Factors surrounding a contingency, such as the risks, uncertainties and the time value of money, are taken into account as a whole in reaching the best estimate of a provision. Where the effect of the time value of money is material, the best estimate is determined by discounting the related future cash outflows.

21. Share-based payments and equity instruments

Cash-settled share payments to employees are re-valuated at the fair value of the equity instruments as at each balance sheet date and are recognized as costs and staff remuneration payables.

(3) Determination of fair value of equity instruments

If there is an active market for an equity instrument granted such as share option, the quoted price in the active market is used to establish the fair value of the equity instrument. If there is no active market for the equity instrument granted such as share option, the option pricing model is used to determine the fair value.

(4) Recognition basis for the best estimate of fair value of exercisable equity instruments

On each balance sheet date within the vesting period, the estimated number of exercisable equity instruments is amended based on the latest subsequent information as to changes in the number of employees with exercisable rights. As at the exercise date, the final number of exercisable equity instruments should equal the actual number of exercisable equity instruments.

(5) Accounting treatment for implementation, amendment and termination of share-based payments

The accumulated cost recognizable for the period is calculated based on the above fair value of equity instruments and estimated number of exercisable equity instruments, after deducting the recognized amount for the previous period, as the cost recognizable for the period.

Deferred tax are recognized in current period's profit or loss as income tax expense or income tax credits, except for the adjustment made for goodwill in a business combination and deferred tax from transactions or items that are directly related to equity.

  • (1) A deferred tax liability is recognized for all taxable temporary differences, except where the taxable temporary differences arise from the following transactions:
  • ① The initial recognition of goodwill, or the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination, and at the time of the transaction, it affects neither accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss;
  • ② Recognition of assets or liabilities arising from transactions with the following characteristics: a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, neither affects the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss;
  • ③ In respect of taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates and interests in joint ventures, where the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences can be controlled and it is probable that the temporary differences will not be reversed in the foreseeable future.
  • (2) Deferred tax assets are only recognized for deductible temporary differences, tax losses and tax credits, to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available in the future against which the deductible temporary differences, tax losses and tax credits can be utilized, except where the deferred tax asset arises from the following transactions:
  • ① A transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, neither affects the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss; or
  • ② In respect of the deductible temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, jointly controlled entities and associates, a deferred tax asset is only recognized to the extent that it is probable that the temporary differences will be reversed in the foreseeable future and taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilized in the future.

(3) The carrying amount of deferred tax assets shall be reviewed at the balance sheet date.

Impairment of long-term equity investments in subsidiaries, associates and jointly controlled entities, investment properties subsequently measured by the cost method, fixed assets, construction in progress, intangible assets, goodwill (except inventories, investment properties measured by the fair value method, deferred tax assets, financial assets) are determined as follows:

  • (1) Fixed assets are tested for impairment if there is any indication that an asset may be impaired at the balance date. If any indication exists that an asset may be impaired, the recoverable amount of this asset is estimated. Goodwill arising from a business combination, an intangible asset with an indefinite useful life and intangible assets that have not been ready for intended use are tested for impairment at least once a year, irrespective of whether or not there is any indication that those assets may be impaired.
  • (2) The recoverable amount of an asset is the higher of its fair value less costs to sell and its present value of the expected future cash flows estimated to be derived from the asset. Provision for asset impairment is determined and recognized on individual asset basis. If it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of the individual asset, the recoverable amount of a group of assets to which the asset belongs is determined.
  • (3) Identification of an asset group is based on whether major cash inflows generated by the asset group are largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or asset groups. When the recoverable amount of an asset or an asset group is less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount is reduced to the recoverable amount. The reduction in carrying amount is treated as impairment loss and recognized in profit or loss for the current period.
  • (4) Once the impairment loss of the above assets is recognized, it cannot be reversed in subsequent periods.

26. Employee benefits

11. OTHER SIGNIFICANT EVENTS — Continued

2. Financial risk management objectives and policies — Continued

(1) Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk exposed to the Company on financial losses arising from the failure of clients or financial instrument counterparties to fulfill contract obligations. It arises mainly from the bank balances, trade and other receivables and financial derivative.

The Company maintains substantially all of its bank balances in several major large state banks in the PRC. In strong support of the country on those banks, the Board is of the opinion that there is no significant credit risk exposed to losses associated with such assets.

The Company mitigates its exposure to risk relating to trade and other receivables by dealing with diversified customers with solid financial foundation. Certain new customers are required to place cash deposits with the Group to reduce the maximum exposure to credit risk. The Group seeks to maintain strict control over its outstanding receivables and has a credit control policy to minimize credit risk. In addition, all receivable balances are monitored on an ongoing basis and overdue balances are followed up by senior management.

The credit risk on derivative instruments is not significant as the counterparties are high creditworthy banks rated by international credit-rating agencies.

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

(2) Liquidity risk

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

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

(3) Interest rate risk

The Company is exposed to interest rate risk due to changes in interest rates of interest-bearing financial assets and liabilities. Interest-bearing financial assets are mainly deposits with banks, which are mostly short-term in nature whereas interest-bearing financial liabilities are primarily short-term bank borrowings. As at 31 December 2012, the Company's short-term bank borrowings were at fixed rate. As all the Company's borrowings were short term loans, any change in the interest rate from time to time is not considered to have significant impact on the Company's performance.

(4) Foreign currency risk

Foreign currency risk is the risk of loss due to adverse change in exchange rates relating 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 of exchange rates between RMB, USD, JPY and EUR.

The carrying amounts of the Company's monetary assets and monetary liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the end of reporting period are as follows:

Closing balance Opening balance
Currency Assets Liabilities Assets Liabilities
USD 1,077,074,899.64 52,743,194.66 583,485,858.40 32,183,140.67
