A business combination not under common control is a business combination in which all of the combining entities are not ultimately controlled by the same party or parties both before and after the combination. For a business combination not under common control, the party that obtains the control of the other parties on the acquisition date is the acquirer; other parties involving in the business combination are the acquirees. The acquisition date is the date on which the acquirer effectively obtains control of the acquirees.

For a business combination not under common control, the cost of business combination is the fair value of assets paid, liabilities incurred or undertaken, and equity securities issued by the acquirer for obtaining the control of the acquirees at the acquisition date. Expenses that are attributable to the business combination such as audit fees, legal services fees, consultancy fees and other administration expenses incurred by the Company as acquirer are expensed in the profit or loss for the period in which they are incurred. Transaction fees of equity securities or debt securities issued by the acquirer as consideration for a business combination are included in the initially recognised amount of equity securities or debt securities. Contingent consideration involved is recorded as the combination cost at its fair value on the acquisition date. Should any new or further evidence in relation to the circumstances existing on the acquisition date arise within 12 months after the acquisition date, making it necessary to adjust the contingent consideration, the goodwill arising from the business combination shall be adjusted accordingly. The cost of combination incurred and identifiable net assets obtained by the acquirer in a business combination are measured at fair value on the acquisition date. Where the cost of the combination exceeds the acquirer's interest in the fair value of the acquiree's identifiable net assets on the acquisition date, the difference is recognised as goodwill; where the cost of combination is lower than the acquirer's interest in the fair value of the acquiree's identifiable net assets on the acquisition date, the difference is recognised in profit or loss for the current year after a review of measurement for the fair value of identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities of the acquiree and the combination cost.

In relation to the deductible temporary difference acquired from the acquiree, which was not recognised as deferred tax assets due to non-fulfillment of the recognition criteria at the date of the acquisition, if new or further information that is obtained within 12 months after the acquisition date indicates that related conditions at the acquisition date already existed, and that the realization of the economic benefits brought by the deductible temporary difference of the acquiree on the acquisition date can be expected, the relevant deferred tax assets shall be recognised and goodwill shall be deducted accordingly. When the amount of goodwill is less than the deferred tax assets that shall be recognised, the difference shall be recognised in the profit or loss for the period. Except for the above circumstances, deferred tax assets in relation to business combination are recognised in the profit or loss for the period.

For a business combination involving entities not under common control that is achieved in stages, the Company shall determine whether the business combination shall be treated as "a bundle of transactions" in accordance with the determination standards as contained in the "Circular on the Publishment of Interpretation 5 on Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises" issued by the Ministry of Finance (Cai Kuai [2012] No. 19) and Section 51 of "Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises 33 – Consolidated Financial Statements" (Refer to note 4(5)ii). Where the business combination is treated as "a bundle of transactions", the business combination shall be accounted for in accordance with the previous paragraphs and note 4(12) "Long term equity investment"; where the business combination does not fall within "a bundle of transactions", the business combination in the Company's and the consolidated financial statements shall be accounted for as follows:

In the Company's financial statements, the initial cost of the investment shall be the sum of the carrying amount of equity investment held in the acquiree prior to the acquisition date and the amount of additional investment made to the acquiree at the acquisition date. Other comprehensive income relating to the equity interest held in the acquiree prior to the acquisition date shall be, upon disposal of the investment, accounted for in accordance with the same basis as that the acquiree adopts in directly disposing of relevant assets or liabilities, that is, except for the acquirer's interest in the changes arising from remeasurement of net assets or liabilities relating to the defined benefit plan of the acquiree that is accounted for in accordance with the equity method of accounting, the balance shall be transferred to investment income for the current period.

In the consolidated financial statements, the equity interest held in the acquiree prior to the acquisition date is re-measured according to its fair value at the acquisition date; the difference between the fair value and the carrying amount is recognised as investment income for the current period. Other comprehensive income relating to the equity interest held in the acquiree prior to the acquisition date shall be accounted for in accordance with the same basis as that the acquiree adopts in directly disposing of relevant assets or liabilities, that is, except for the acquirer's interest in the changes arising from remeasurement of net assets or liabilities relating to the defined benefit plan of the acquiree that is accounted for in accordance with the equity method of accounting, the balance shall be transferred to investment income for the period within which the acquisition date falls.

5. Preparation of consolidated financial statements

(1) Criteria for the recognition of scope of consolidation

The scope of consolidation shall be determined based on the concept of control. Control refers to the power over the investee, share of or entitlement to the risk exposure or rights of reward of variable returns, and the ability to affect the amount of such returns by using its power over the investee. The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of the Company and all of its subsidiaries, which are defined as those entities controlled by the Company.

Once any change in the facts and circumstances arises which leads to a change in the elements involved in the definition of control, the Company will conduct an assessment.

(2) Preparation of consolidated financial statements

Subsidiaries are consolidated from the date on which the Company obtains their net assets and actual control over their operating decisions, and are deconsolidated from the date when such control ceases. For subsidiaries being disposed, the operating results and cash flows prior to the date of disposal are duly included in the consolidated income statement and consolidated cash flow statement; for subsidiaries disposed during the period, the opening balances of the consolidated balance sheet would not be restated. For subsidiaries acquired from a business combination not under common control, their operating results and cash flows subsequent to the acquisition date are included in the consolidated income statement and consolidated cash flow statement, and the opening balances and comparative figures in the consolidated financial statements would not be restated. For subsidiaries acquired from a business combination under common control, their operating results and cash flows from the date of commencement of the period in which the combination occurred to the date of combination are included in the consolidated income statement and consolidated cash flow statement, and the comparative figures in the consolidated financial statements would be restated.

In preparing the consolidated financial statements, where the accounting policies or the accounting periods are inconsistent between the Company and subsidiaries, the financial statements of subsidiaries are adjusted in accordance with the accounting policies and accounting period of the Company. For subsidiaries acquired from a business combination not under common control, their financial statements are adjusted based on the fair value of the identifiable net assets at the acquisition date.

All significant inter-group balances, transactions and unrealised profits are eliminated in preparing the consolidated financial statements.

The portion of a subsidiary's equity and the portion of a subsidiary's net profits and losses for the period not attributable to the Company are recognised as minority interests and profits and losses attributable to minority interests respectively, which are presented under shareholders' equity and net profit separately, in the consolidated financial statement. A subsidiary's net profit and loss for the period attributable to minority interests is recognised as share of profit or loss of minority interests under net profit in the consolidated income statement. When the amount of a subsidiary's loss attributable to the minority shareholders exceeds the minority shareholders' share of the opening balance of shareholders' equity of the subsidiary, the excess is deducted from the minority interests.

(2) Preparation of consolidated financial statements — Continued

When the control over a subsidiary is lost due to disposal of a portion of equity investment or otherwise, the remaining equity interest is re-measured at the fair value on the date when the control ceased. The difference between the sum of the consideration received from disposal of equity interest and the fair value of the remaining equity interest, and the net assets of the former subsidiary attributable to the Company since the acquisition date as calculated based on its original shareholding percentage in that subsidiary, is recognised as the investment income for the period when the loss of control occurred. Other comprehensive incomes in relation to the equity investment of the subsidiary shall be, upon the loss of control, accounted for in accordance with the same basis as that the acquiree adopts in directly disposing of relevant assets or liabilities, that is, except for the changes arising from remeasurement of net assets or liabilities relating to the defined benefit plan of that subsidiary, the balance shall be transferred to investment income for the current year. Subsequent measurement of the remaining equity interests shall be in accordance with relevant accounting standards such as "Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises 2 — Long-term Equity Investments" or "Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises 22 — Recognition and Measurement of Financial Instruments", which are detailed in note 4(12) "Long term equity investment" or note 4(9) "Financial instrument".

The Company shall determine whether a series of transactions in relation to disposal of equity investment in or even loss of control over a subsidiary in stages should be treated as a bundle of transactions. When the economic effects and terms and conditions of the transactions in relation to the disposal of equity investment met one or more of the following situations, the series of transactions shall normally be accounted for as a bundle of transactions: (i) these transactions are entered into simultaneously or after considering the mutual consequences of each individual transaction; (ii) these transactions need to be considered as a whole in order to achieve a deal in commercial sense; (iii) the occurrence of an individual transaction depends on the occurrence of one or more individual transaction(s) in the series; (iv) The result of an individual transaction is not economical, but it would be economical after taking into account the other transactions in the series. When the transactions are not treated as a bundle of transactions, each of the individual transactions shall be accounted for as the "portion disposal of long term equity investment in a subsidiary which would not lead to loss of control" (detailed in note 4(12)ii(iv)) or the "loss of control due to portion disposal of equity investment in a subsidiary or otherwise" (detailed in the previous paragraph), as the case may be. When the transactions in relation to disposal of equity investment in or even loss of control over a subsidiary are treated as a bundle of transactions, each of the transactions shall be accounted for as one transaction in relation to disposal of the subsidiary leading to loss of control; however, the difference between the consideration received from the disposal and the share of net assets of the subsidiary disposed in each individual transaction before loss of control shall be recognised as other comprehensive income in the consolidated financial statements, and reclassified as profit or loss for the period when control is lost.

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

A joint arrangement refers to an arrangement over which two or more parties have joint control. In accordance with the Company's rights and obligations under a joint arrangement, the Company classifies joint arrangements into joint operations and joint ventures. A joint operation refers to a joint arrangement under which the Company is entitled to the assets and assumes the obligations. A joint venture refers to a joint arrangement under which the Company is only entitled to net assets.

The investment in joint ventures is accounted for using the equity method in accordance with the accounting policies as set out in note 4(12)ii(ii) "Long-term equity investment by using equity method".

As a party to a joint operation, the Company recognise the assets held and obligations assumed solely by the Company, and the assets held and obligations assumed jointly by the Company in proportion to the share of the Company; recognise the revenue from sales of the share of outputs of the joint operation of the Company; recognise the share of revenue from sales of outputs by the joint operation of the Company; recognise the expenses solely incurred by Company; and recognise the expenses incurred by the joint operation in proportion to the share of the Company.

When the Company, as a party to a joint operation, invests in or disposes of an asset (not being a business, the same below) to or purchase an asset from the joint operation, the Company shall only recognise the portion of profit or loss arising from this transaction attributable to other parties to the joint operation before such disposal to any third party. Where an impairment loss of these assets that meets the requirements in "Accounting Standard for Business Enterprises 8 — Asset Impairment" arises, the Company shall recognise the loss in full in relation to the assets invested in or disposed of to the joint operation by the Company; and shall recognise the loss in proportion to the share of the Company in relation to the assets purchased from the joint operation by the Company.

7. Criteria for the recognition of cash and cash equivalents

For the purpose of the cash flows statement, cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand, deposits held at call with bank and short-term (maturing within 3 months from the date of acquisition) and highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.

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

(1) Translation of foreign currency transactions

Foreign currency transactions are, on initial recognition, translated into the functional currency at the spot exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions, i.e. the middle price of RMB exchange rate published by the People's Bank of China on that date in general and the same below, except when the Company carries on a business of currency exchange or involves in currency exchange transactions, at the actual exchange rates which would be used.

8. Foreign currency transactions and translation of financial statements in foreign currency — Continued

(2) Translation of monetary items and non-monetary items in foreign currencies

At the balance sheet date, monetary items denominated in foreign currency are translated into the functional currency using the spot exchange rate prevailing at the balance sheet date. The resulting exchange differences are recognised in profit or loss for the current period, except for (i) those attributable to foreign currency borrowings that have been taken out specifically for the acquisition, construction or production of qualifying assets, which are capitalised as part of the cost of those assets; (ii) exchange difference arising from changes in carrying amount of available for sale foreign-currency monetary items other than changes in amortized cost, which is recognised in other comprehensive income.

For the purpose of preparing consolidated financial statements involving foreign operations, the exchange differences arising from changes in exchange rates in relation to translation of foreign currency monetary items which effectively constitute a net investment in the foreign operation, are recognized in other comprehensive income, or upon disposal of the foreign operation, in the profit or loss for the period.

Non-monetary items denominated in foreign currency that are measured at historical cost are translated into the functional currency using the spot rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Non-monetary items denominated in foreign currency that are measured at fair value are translated into the functional currency using the spot rate prevailing on the date when fair value is determined and the resulting exchange differences will be recognised as fair value change (including a change of exchange rate) in profit or loss for the period or as other comprehensive income.

(3) Translation of financial statements in foreign currency

For the purpose of preparing consolidated financial statements involving foreign operations, the exchange differences arising from changes in exchange rates in relation to translation of foreign currency monetary items which effectively constitute a net investment in the foreign operation, are recognised as "exchange difference on translation of financial statements in foreign currency" in other comprehensive income, or upon disposal of the foreign operation, in the profit or loss for the period.

The following displays the methods for translating financial statements in foreign currency of foreign operations into the statements in RMB: The asset and liability items in the balance sheets are translated at the spot exchange rates on the balance sheet date. Under the shareholders' equity, the items other than "undistributed profits" are translated at the spot exchange rates at the transaction dates. The income and expense items in the income statements are translated at the spot exchange rates at the transaction dates. Opening balance of undistributed profits is equal to the closing balance of undistributed profits after translation in the previous year; closing balance of undistributed profit is measured and presented based on the items in profit distribution after translation. The exchange difference arising from translation of the sum of assets, liabilities and equity items is recognised as the difference on translation of financial statements in foreign currency in other comprehensive income. Such exchange difference in relation to the foreign operation as shown under shareholders' equity in the balance sheet is recognised in the profit or loss for the period in full or on a pro rata basis upon disposal of the foreign operation leading to a loss of control.

The cash flows in foreign currency and of overseas operations are translated at the spot exchange rates on the dates of the cash flows or the rates approximate thereto. The effect of exchange rate changes on cash is presented separately as an adjustment item in the cash flow statement.

The opening balance and the prior year's figures are presented as the balances after translation of the financial statements in the previous year.

On disposal of the entire owners' equity held in a foreign operation by the Company, or upon a loss of control over a foreign operation due to partial disposal of equity investment or other reasons, the exchange differences arising on translation of the financial statements in foreign currency in relation to that foreign operation, which are attributable to owners' equity of parent company as shown under shareholders' equity in the balance sheet, are recognised in the profit or loss in the period in which the disposal took place.

In case of partial disposal of equity investment or other reason resulting in reduction in shareholding in a foreign operation without losing control over it, the exchange differences arising from the translation of financial statements in foreign currency in relation to the assets disposed will be attributable to minority interests and will not recognised in profit or loss for the period. For partial disposals of equity interests in foreign operations which are associates or joint ventures, the exchange differences arising from the translation of financial statements in foreign currency of the foreign operation is reclassified to profit or loss for the period in which the disposal took place on a pro rata basis.

9. Financial instruments

The Group recognizes a financial asset or a financial liability when it becomes a party to the contractual provisions of a financial instrument. Financial assets and financial liabilities are measured at fair value upon initial recognition. For financial assets and financial liabilities measured at fair value through profit or loss, the transaction costs are directly recognised in profit or loss for the period. For financial assets and financial liabilities classified as other categories, the transaction costs are included in the amount initially recognised.

(1) Determination of fair value for financial assets and financial liabilities

The fair value refers to the price that will be received when selling an asset or the price to be paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the date of measurement. For financial instruments that have an active market, fair value is determined based on the quoted price in such market. The quoted price in an active market refers to the price that is easily and regularly obtained from exchanges, brokers, industrial organisations and price fixing service organisations, representing the actual price of a market transaction that takes place in a fair deal. Where financial instruments do not have an active market, the fair value is determined using valuation techniques. Valuation techniques include, among others, reference to the prices reached in recent market transactions entered into by both willing parties with an informed view, and reference to present fair values of other substantially identical financial instruments, cash flow discounting method and option pricing models.

(2) Classification, recognition and measurement of financial assets

Any regular purchase and sale of financial assets shall be recognised and derecognised at the transaction date. Financial assets are classified into financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, held-to maturity investments, loans and receivables and available-for-sale financial assets upon initial recognition.

(2) Classification, recognition and measurement of financial assets — Continued

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss

They include financial assets held-for-trading and those designated as financial assets at fair value through profit or loss. Financial assets measured at fair value by the Company through profit or loss are financial assets held-for-trading.

A financial asset is classified as held for trading if one of the following conditions is satisfied: (a) It has been acquired mainly for the purpose of sale or repurchase in the near term; or (b) It is part of a portfolio of identifiable financial instruments that the Group manages together and there is objective evidence that the Company has adopted a shortterm profit-taking pattern recently; or (c) It is a derivative, except for a derivative that is designated as and is an effective hedging instrument, or that is a financial guarantee contract, or a derivative that is linked to and must be settled by delivery of an unquoted equity instrument (without a quoted price in an active market) whose fair value cannot be reliably measured.

Financial assets held-for-trading are measured subsequently at fair value. Gains or losses arising from changes in fair value and any dividend and interest income on such assets are recognized in the profit or loss for the current period.

Held-to-maturity investments

They are non-derivative financial assets that have fixed or determinable payments and fixed maturity and for which the Company has the positive intention and ability to hold to maturity.

Held-to-maturity investments are measured subsequently at amoritised cost by using the effective interest rate method. Gains or losses arising on derecognition, impairment or amortization are recognized in the profit or loss for the current period.

The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial asset or a financial liability (or a group of financial assets or financial liabilities) and the interest income or interest expense over respective periods, using the effective interest rate. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash flows through the expected life of the financial asset or financial liability or, where appropriate, a shorter period to the current carrying amount of the financial asset or financial liability.

When calculating the effective interest rate, the Company estimates future cash flows taking into account all contractual terms of the financial asset or financial liability (without considering future credit losses), and also considers all fees paid or received between the parties to the contract giving rise to the financial asset or financial liability that are an integral part of the effective interest rate, transaction costs, and premiums or discounts, etc.

Loans and receivables

They are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. Financial assets, including notes receivable, trade receivable, interest receivable, dividends receivable and other receivables, are classified as loans and receivables by the Company.

Loans and receivables are measured subsequently at the amortised cost by using the effective interest rate method. Gains or losses arising on derecognition, impairment or amortisation are charged to profit or loss in the current period.

Available-for-sale financial assets

They include non-derivative financial assets that are designated as available for sale upon initial recognition and the financial assets other than those at fair value through profit or loss, loans and receivables and held-to-maturity investments.

The closing cost of available-for-sale debt instrument investments is recognised at amortised cost, i.e. the initially recognised amount less the principal repaid, and then plus or less the accumulated amortisation amount arising from the amortisation of the difference between the initially recognised amount and the amount at the maturity date using the effective interest rate method, and then further less the impairment loss already incurred. The closing cost of availablefor-sale equity instrument investments is the cost on initial acquisition.

Available-for-sale financial assets are subsequently measured at fair value. Gain or loss arising from changes in fair value are recognised as other comprehensive income, except for impairment loss and exchange differences arising from translation of foreign currency monetary financial assets in relation to amortised cost which are accounted for through profit or loss for the current period. The financial assets will be transferred out on derecognition and accounted for through profit or loss for the current period. However, equity investment that is not quoted in an active market and the fair value of which cannot be measured reliably, and derivative financial assets that are linked to and must be settled by delivery of such equity instrument are subsequently measured at cost.

Interests received during the period in which available-for-sale financial assets are held and the cash dividends declared by the investee are recognised as investment income.

(3) Impairment of financial assets (other than receivables)

Except for financial assets at fair value through profit or loss for the current period, the Company assesses the carrying amount of other financial assets at each balance sheet date, and if there is objective evidence that the financial assets are impaired, provisions are made for the impairment.

Impairment of held-to-maturity investments

The carrying amount of the financial assets measured at cost or amortised cost is written down to the present value of the estimated future cash flow and the written-down amount is recognised as the impairment loss in the profit or loss for the current period. The originally recognised impairment loss is reversed if there is objective evidence that the value of the financial assets has been recovered and the recovery can be linked objectively to an event occurring after the impairment loss was recognised. The carrying amount of the financial assets upon the reversal of the impairment loss will not exceed the amortised cost of the financial assets on the reversal date as if no impairment loss provision has been made.

Impairment 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, and the downtrend is expected to be non-temporary, it can be ascertained that the available-for-sale financial asset is impaired and an impairment loss shall be recognised. Upon impairment provision is made in respect of the impaired available-for-sale financial asset, the cumulative loss from the decline in fair value originally recognized directly in shareholder's equity is removed and recognized as impairment loss. The cumulative loss removed equals to the initial acquisition cost of the available-for-sale financial asset, net of principal payment and amortization, current fair value and impairment losses previously recognized in the profit or loss.

If after an impairment loss was recognized on an available-for-sale debt instrument, the fair value of the debt instrument has increased 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 current period. The impairment loss recognized on an equity instrument available-forsale is reversed in equity, not in profit or loss, if any increase in fair value occurs after the impairment.

(4) Basis for recognition and measurement of transfer of financial assets

The financial asset will be de-recognised if any of the following conditions is satisfied: (1) The contractual right to receive the cash flow of the financial asset is terminated; (2) The financial asset has been transferred and substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset have been transferred to the transferee; (3) The financial asset has been transferred and the entity has waived the control over the financial asset although it has neither transferred nor reserved substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset.

(4) Basis for recognition and measurement of transfer of financial assets — Continued

Where the entity has neither transferred nor reserved substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset and not waived the control over the financial asset, to the extent of its continuous involvement in the financial asset transferred, the entity recognises the relevant financial asset and meanwhile, recognises the relevant liability accordingly. The extent of the continuous involvement is the level of risk to which the entity exposes due to changes in the value of such financial asset.

Where the conditions of de-recognition are satisfied upon overall transfer of the financial asset, the difference between the carrying amount of the transferred financial asset and the sum of the consideration received from the transfer and the accumulated changes in fair value previously recognised in other comprehensive income is recognised in the profit or loss for the current period.

Where the conditions of de-recognition are satisfied upon partial transfer of the financial asset, the carrying amount of the transferred financial asset is allocated between the derecognized and nonderecognised portion at the corresponding fair value, and the difference between the sum of the consideration received from the transfer and the accumulated changes in fair value previously recognised in other comprehensive income to be allocated to the de-recognised portion and the above mentioned allocated carrying amount is recognised in the profit or loss for the current period.

Where the Company disposes of the financial asset with the right of recourse or transfers the financial asset by endorsement, it shall be ascertained that whether substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset have been transferred. Where substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset have been transferred to the transferee, the financial asset are derecognised; where substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset have been retained, the financial asset are not de-recognised; and where substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset have been neither transferred nor retained, it shall be determined whether the entity retains the control over the asset and the asset shall be accounted for in accordance with the above mentioned policies.

(5) Classification and measurement of financial liabilities

Upon initial recognition, financial liabilities are classified into financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss and other financial liabilities. Upon initial recognition, financial liabilities are measured at fair value. For the financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, the relevant transaction costs are directly recognised in profit or loss for the current period; and for other financial liabilities, the relevant transaction costs are included in the initially recognized amount.

Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss

The conditions for the financial liabilities to be classified as held for trading and to be designated to be measured at fair value through profit or loss upon initial recognition are the same as those for the financial assets to be classified as held for trading and to be designated to be measured at fair value through profit or loss upon initial recognition.

The financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are subsequently measured at the fair value. The gains or losses arising from the change in fair value and the dividend and interest expenses related to the financial liabilities are charged to the profit or loss for the current period.

(5) Classification and measurement of financial liabilities — Continued

Other financial liabilities

The derivative financial liabilities linked to and to be settled through delivery of the equity instruments that are not quoted in an active market and the fair value of which cannot be reliably measured such equity instruments are subsequently measured at cost. Other financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method and the gains or losses arising from de-recognition or amortization are recognised in profit or loss for the current period.

Financial guarantee contracts

The financial guarantee contracts other than the financial liabilities designated as at fair value through profit or loss are initially recognised at fair value and subsequently measured at the amount determined in accordance with the Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises 13 — Contingencies or the balance of the initially recognized amount less the accumulated amortisation determined in accordance with the Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises 14 — Income, whichever is the higher.

(6) De-recognition of financial liabilities

The financial liabilities may not be de-recognised in whole or in part unless and until the present obligations of the financial liabilities are discharged in whole or in part. Where the Company (the debtor) concludes an agreement with a creditor to replace the existing financial liabilities with the new financial liabilities and the contractual terms for new financial liabilities are materially not the same as existing financial liabilities, the existing financial liabilities are de-recognised and the new financial liabilities are recognised.

Where the financial liabilities are de-recognised in whole or in part, the difference between the carrying amount of the de-recognised portion and the consideration paid (including nonmonetary assets transferred or new financial liabilities assumed) is recognised in profit or loss for the current period.

(7) Derivatives and embedded derivatives

Derivatives are initially measured at fair value at the date when the derivative contracts are entered into and are subsequently re-measured at fair value. The gain or loss arising from the change in fair value of a derivative is recognised in profit or loss for the current period, unless the derivative is designated and highly effective as a hedging instrument, in which case the timing of the recognition in profit or loss depends on the nature of the hedge relationship in accordance with hedging accounting policies.

An embedded derivative is separated from the hybrid instrument, where the hybrid instrument is not designated as a financial asset or financial liability at fair value through profit or loss, and treated as a stand-alone derivative if the economic characteristics and risks of the embedded derivative are not closely related to those of the host contract, and a separate instrument with the same terms as the embedded derivative would meet the definition of a derivative. If the Group is unable to measure the embedded derivative separately either at acquisition or at a subsequent balance sheet date, it will designate the entire hybrid instrument as a financial asset or financial liability at fair value through profit or loss.

(8) Offsetting financial assets and financial liabilities

Where the Company has a legal right to offset the recognised financial assets and financial liabilities and may enforce this right at present and plans to net or realise the financial assets and settle the financial liabilities, the remaining balance upon the offset between the financial assets and the financial liabilities is presented in the balance sheet. Otherwise, the financial assets and the financial liabilities are separately presented in the balance sheet and do not offset against each other.

(9) Equity instruments

An equity instrument refers to a contract which proves the ownership of the remaining equities in net assets of the Company after deduction of all liabilities. The issuance (including refinancing), repurchase, sale or cancellation of equity instruments is accounted for as the change in equity. The Company does not recognise the change in fair value of equity instruments. Transaction costs related to equity transactions are charged to equity.

Various distributions (excluding dividends) made by the Company to holders of equity instruments reduce owners' equity. The Company does not recognise the change in fair value of equity instruments.

10. Accounts receivable

Method of provision for bad debt in individually significant receivables

Individually significant receivables are subject to separate impairment test. Where there is an objective evidence of impairment, the balance of the present value of the future cash flows less than the carrying amount shall be treated as impairment loss and accounted for as provision for bad debts. Where there is no impairment according to the separate impairment test, the accounts receivable shall be combined into a group of receivables with similar credit risk characteristics and subject to a further impairment test collectively.

  • Group 1 Using ageing analysis method.
  • Group 2 Conducting an individual impairment test, where the balance of the present value of the future cash flows expected to be derived from the receivables less than the carrying amount shall be treated as impairment loss and accounted for as provision for bad debts.

For Group 1, receivables for which provision for bad debts is made using age analysis method are as follows:

Ratio of
provision for
Ageing 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) Individually insignificant receivables subject to separate provision:

Reason for individual
provision
Receivables which are individually insignificant over one year or above.
Method for provision for
bad debts
Where there is an objective evidence of impairment, receivables shall be
separated from the group they belong to and subject to an individual test.
The balance of the present value of the future cash flows expected to be
derived from the receivables less than the carrying amount shall be treated
as impairment loss and accounted for as provision for bad debts

11. Inventories

(1) Classification of inventories

Inventories are classified into: raw materials, goods in processing contract, low-value consumables, packaging materials, self-manufactured semi-finished goods, work in progress, goods in transit, finished goods and etc.

(2) Measurement of inventories

Inventories are initially measured at actual cost. Cost of an inventory consists of purchase cost, processing cost and other cost.

Raw materials are measured at 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 at the actual cost upon delivery, whereas the actual cost is determined using the weighted average method.

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

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

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

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

The Company takes general inventory checkup at each balance sheet date, and records 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 a large quantity and with relatively low unit prices, provision for impairment loss on inventories shall be made based on the category; for inventories relevant to the production and sales of products in the same region with same or similar use or purpose and difficult to measure separately, provision for impairment loss on inventories shall be made on an aggregated basis. In case the factors causing the previous write-down of inventories disappear, the write-down amount shall be reversed to the provision of impairment previously made and the reverse amount shall be charged to the profit or loss for the period.

12. Long-term equity investments

Long-term equity investments under this section refer to long-term equity investments in which the Company has control, joint control or significant influence over the investee. Long-term equity investment without control or joint control or significant influence of the Group is accounted for as available-for-sale financial assets or financial assets at fair value through profit or loss for the period. For details on its accounting policy, please refer to note 4(9) "Financial instruments".

Joint control is the Company's contractually agreed sharing of control over an arrangement, the activities under which must be decided by unanimous agreement from parties who share the control. Significant influence is the power of the Company to participate in the decision-making for financial and operating policies of an investee, but not to control or joint control the formulation of such policies together with other parties.

(1) Determination of investment cost

For a long-term equity investment acquired through a business combination involving entities under common control, the initial investment cost shall be recognised at the carrying amount of the Company's share of the combined party's equity in the consolidated financial statements of the ultimate controlling party on the date of combination. The difference between the initial cost of the long-term equity investment and the cash paid, non-monetary assets transferred and the carrying amount of the debts assumed shall offset against the capital reserve. Where the capital reserve is insufficient to offset, the retained earnings shall be adjusted. In case that the consideration of the business combination is satisfied by issuing equity securities, the initial investment cost of the long-term equity investment shall be recognised at the carrying amount of the Company's share of the combined party's equity in the consolidated financial statements of the ultimate controlling party on the date of combination. With the total face value of the shares issued as share capital, the difference between the initial cost of the long-term equity investment and total face value of the shares issued shall be used to offset against the capital reserve. Where the capital reserve is insufficient to offset, the retained earnings shall be adjusted. For a business combination involving entities under common control by acquiring equity interests in the combined party under common control in a series of transactions, the transactions shall be treated separately: in case of "a bundle of transactions", each of the transactions shall be accounted for as an acquisition of control; otherwise, the initial investment cost of the longterm equity investment shall be recognised at the carrying amount of the Company's share of the combined party's equity in the consolidated financial statements of the ultimate controlling party on the date of combination. The difference between the initial cost of the long-term equity investment and the sum of the carrying amount of the long-term equity investment before combination and the book value of the additional consideration paid for further acquisition of shares on the date of combination shall offset against the capital reserve. Where the capital reserve is insufficient to offset, the retained earnings shall be adjusted. Other comprehensive income recognised for the equity investment held prior to the date of combination by using equity method or for available-for-sale financial assets will not be accounted for in the financial statements.

(1) Determination of investment cost — Continued

For a long-term equity investment acquired through a business combination involving entities not under common control, the initial investment cost of the long-term equity investment shall be recognised at the cost of combination on the date of acquisition. Cost of combination includes the aggregate fair value of assets paid, liabilities incurred or assumed and equity securities issued by the acquirer. For a business combination involving entities not under common control by acquiring the equity in the acquiree in a series of transactions, the transactions shall be treated separately: in case of "a bundle of transactions", each of the transactions shall be accounted for as an acquisition of control; otherwise, the initial investment cost of the long-term equity investment shall be accounted for using the cost method at the sum of the carrying amount of equity investment previously held in the acquiree and the additional investment cost. Where the equity investment previously held is accounted for by using the equity method, the corresponding other comprehensive income will not be accounted for. Where the equity investment previously held is classified as an available-for-sale financial asset, the difference between its fair value and carrying amount, as well as the accumulated changes in fair value previously included in the other comprehensive income shall be recognised in the profit or loss for the current period.

Agent fees incurred by the combining party or the acquirer for a business combination such as audit, legal service, and valuation and consultation fees, and other related administration expenses are charged to profit or loss in the current period when such expenses incurred.

The long-term equity investment acquired other than by means of a business combination shall be initially measured at cost. Such cost, depending upon the means of acquisition of the longterm equity investment, is determined based on, among others, the purchase price actually paid by the Company in cash, the fair value of equity securities issued by the Company, the agreed value by the investment contracts or agreements, fair value or original carrying amount of the asset exchanged in a nonmonetary asset exchange transaction, and fair value of the long-term equity investment. The costs, taxes and other necessary expenses that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the long-term equity investment are also included in the investment cost. Where an additional equity investment gives rise to an ability to exercise a significant influence or joint control over the investee but without obtaining the control, the cost of the long-term equity investment shall be the sum of fair value of the equity investment previously held determined in accordance with "Accounting Standard for Business Enterprises 22 – Recognition and Measurement of Financial Instruments" and additional investment cost.

(2) Subsequent measurement and recognition of profit or loss

A long-term equity investment with joint control (excluding that constituting a joint venture) over or significant influence on the investee is accounted for by using the equity method, and a long-term equity investment with control over the investee is accounted for in the Company's financial statements by using the cost method.

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

Under the cost method, a long-term equity investment is measured at its initial investment cost. The cost of the long-term equity investment shall be adjusted in case of any additional investment or return. Except for the actual consideration paid on acquisition of the investment or cash dividends or profits declared but not yet distributed which are included in the consideration, the gain on investment for the period is recognised at the Company's share of cash dividends or profits declared by the investee.

Long-term equity investments accounted for by using the equity method

Under the equity method, where the initial investment cost of a long-term equity investment exceeds the Company's share of fair value of the investee's identifiable net assets at the acquisition date, no adjustment shall be made to the initial investment cost. Where the initial investment cost is less than the Company's share of fair value of the investee's identifiable net assets at the acquisition date, the difference shall be charged to profit or loss for the current period, and the cost of the long term equity investment shall be adjusted accordingly.

Under the equity method, the gain on investment and other comprehensive income shall be recognised at the Company's share of the net profit or loss and other comprehensive income realised by the investee, respectively, and carrying amount of the long-term equity investment shall be adjusted accordingly. Carrying amount of the long-term equity investment shall be reduced by the Company's share of the profit or cash dividend declared by the investee. In respect of the changes in owners' equity of the investee other than in net profit or loss, other comprehensive income and profit distribution, the carrying amount of the long-term equity investment shall be adjusted and included in the capital reserves. The Company recognises its share of the investee's net profit or loss based on fair value of the investee's identifiable assets at the time of acquisition, after making appropriate adjustments thereto. In the case of any inconsistency between the accounting policies and accounting periods adopted by the investee and by the Company, the financial statements of the investee shall be adjusted in accordance with the accounting policies and accounting periods of the Company, and the gain on investment and other comprehensive income shall be recognised accordingly. In respect of the transactions between the Company and its associates and joint ventures in which the assets invested or disposed of are not part of the business, the share of unrealised gain or loss arising from inter-group transactions shall be offset by the portion attributable to the Company, and the gain or loss on investment shall be recognized accordingly. However, any unrealised loss arising from inter-group transactions between the Company and an investee is not offset to the extent that the loss is impairment loss of the assets transferred. Where the Company invests to its joint ventures or associates an asset forming part of a business, giving rise to the acquisition of a longterm equity investment by the investor without obtaining control, the initial investment cost of the additional long-term equity investment shall be recognised at fair value of the business invested. The difference between initial investment cost and carrying amount of the business invested will be fully included in profit or loss for the current period. Where the Company disposes of an asset forming part of a business to its associates or joint ventures, the difference between the consideration received and the carrying amount of the business shall be fully included in profit or loss for the current period. Where the Company acquires from its associates or joint ventures an asset forming part of a business, the profit or loss related to the transaction shall be accounted for and recognised in accordance with "Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises 20 "Business Combination".

Long-term equity investments accounted for by using the equity method — Continued

The Company's share of net loss of the investee shall be recognised to the extent that the carrying amount of the long-term equity investment and any long-term equity that substantially forms part of the investor's net investment in the investee are written down to zero. If the Company has to assume additional obligations to the loss of the investee, the estimated liabilities shall be recognised for the estimated obligation assumed and charged to the profit or loss as investment loss for the period. Where the investee makes profits in subsequent periods, the Company shall re-recognise its share of the profits after setting off against the share of unrecognised losses.

Acquisition of minority interests

When preparing the consolidated financial statements, the Company adjusts the capital reserve and, if the capital reserve is insufficient, adjusts the retained earnings based on the difference between the additional long-term equity investment arising on acquisition of minority interests and the Company's share in the net assets of the subsidiary accrued from the acquisition date (or combination date) in proportion to the additional shareholdings.

Disposal of long-term equity investment

In the consolidated financial statements, if the parent disposes part of the long-term equity investment in the subsidiary without losing its control, the difference between the disposal price and the Company's share in the net assets of the subsidiary attributable to the disposal of the long-term equity investment is recognised in the shareholders' equity; if the parent disposes part of the long-term equity investment in the subsidiary resulting in the loss of its control over the subsidiary, the accounting treatment shall be in accordance with the policies as set out in note 4(5)ii "Preparation of consolidated financial statements".

In other cases, upon the disposal of a long-term equity investment, the difference between the carrying amount of the investment and the price received is recognised in the profit or loss for the current period.

For a long-term equity investment that is accounted for using the equity method where the remaining equity after disposal continues to be accounted for using the equity method, the portion of other comprehensive income previously included in shareholder's equity shall be treated in accordance with the same basis as the investee directly disposes of relevant asset or liability on pro rata basis at the time of disposal. The owners' equity recognised for the change in owners' equity of the investee other than net profit or loss, other comprehensive income and profit distribution shall be transferred to profit or loss for the current period on pro rata basis.

Disposal of long-term equity investment — Continued

For a long-term equity investment accounted for using the cost method where the remaining equity after disposal continues to be accounted for using cost method, other comprehensive income recognised using the equity method or in accordance with the standard for recognition and measurement of financial instruments prior to the acquisition of control over the investee shall be treated in accordance with the same basis as the investee directly disposes of relevant asset or liability, and transferred to profit or loss for the current period on pro rata basis. The change in owners' equity recognised in net assets of the investee by using the equity method other than net profit or loss, other comprehensive income and profit distribution shall be transferred to profit or loss for the current period on pro rata basis.

In preparing separate financial statements, if control is lost over the investee upon partial disposal of equity investment, the remaining equity with joint control or an ability to impose a significant influence over the investee after disposal shall be accounted for using the equity method, and shall be adjusted as if it has been accounted for using the equity method since it was acquired. The remaining equity without joint control or an ability to impose a significant influence over the investee after disposal shall be accounted for based on the standard for recognition and measurement of financial instruments, and the difference between its fair value and carrying amount as at the date of loss of control shall be included in profit or loss for the current period. In respect of other comprehensive income recognised using the equity method or in accordance with the standard for recognition and measurement of financial instruments prior to the acquisition of control over the investee, it shall be accounted for in accordance with the same basis as the investee directly disposes of relevant asset or liability when the control is lost. The change in owners' equity recognised in net assets of the investee by using the equity method other than net profit or loss, other comprehensive income and profit distribution shall be transferred to profit or loss for the current period at the time when the control over investee is lost. Where the remaining equity after disposal is accounted for using the equity method, other comprehensive income and other owners' equity shall be carried forward on pro rata basis. Where the remaining equity after disposal is accounted for in accordance with the standard for recognition and measurement of financial instruments, other comprehensive income and other owners' equity shall be fully carried forward.

If the joint control or significant influence over the investee is lost upon partial disposal of equity investment, the remaining equity after disposal shall be accounted for in accordance with the standard for recognition and measurement of financial instruments. The difference between its fair value and carrying amount as at the date of loss of joint control or significant influence shall be included in profit or loss for the current period. For other comprehensive income recognised previously for the equity investment using equity method, it shall be accounted for in accordance with the same basis as the investee directly disposes of relevant asset or liability at the time when the equity method was ceased to be used. The owners' equity recognised arising from the change in owners' equity of the investee other than net profit or loss, other comprehensive income and profit distribution shall be transferred to profit or loss for the current period at the time when the equity method was ceased to be used.

Where the Company disposes of its equity investment in a subsidiary in a series of transactions until the control is lost, and such transactions form "a bundle of transactions", each transaction shall be accounted for as a disposal of equity investment of the subsidiary resulting in a loss of control. The difference between the consideration for each transaction and the carrying amount of the long-term equity investment attributable to the equity interests disposed prior to loss of control shall be initially recognised as other comprehensive income, and upon loss of control, transferred to profit or loss for the period when the loss of control takes place.

(3) Impairment test and provision for impairment

For long-term equity investments in subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates, the Company provides for impairment in accordance with the policies in note 4(20).

13. 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 properties are initially recognized at the cost at the time of acquisition, 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 4(20) for recognition of provision for impairment of 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 provided when the fixed assets are available for intended use, and are terminated when the fixed assets are derecognised or classified as non-current assets held-forsale (except for 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 asset category, estimated useful life and estimated residual value are as follows:

Rate of residual Annual
Category Useful life (year) value (%) depreciation rates
Buildings 20-50 0-10 1.8-5
Machinery and equipment 5-20 5-10 4.5-19
Electronic equipment, appliances
and furniture 5-10 5-10 9-19

(1) Measurement of construction in progress

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

(2) Timing of transfer from construction in progress to fixed assets

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

(3) Provision for impairment loss on construction in progress

Please see note 4(20) for the recognition of provision for impairment on construction in progress.

16. Borrowing costs

(1) Principles for recognition of capitalization of 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 production activities for 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 production 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 in profit or loss for the period on the basis of the actual amount incurred at the time when they are incurred.

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

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

16. Borrowing costs — Continued

(2) Period of capitalization of the borrowing costs

The borrowing costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition and construction or production of qualifying asset are capitalized as the cost before the asset is ready for its intended use or sale. Borrowing costs incurred afterwards are recognised in profit or loss for the current period.

Where the acquisition and construction or production activities of a qualifying 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 acquisition and 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 acquisition and construction or production of the asset is resumed, and by then capitalization of the borrowing costs shall also be resumed. Where part of the acquisition and construction or production activities of asset qualified for capitalization is completed and available for separate use, the capitalization of borrowing cost for that part of the asset shall be ceased.

(3) Calculation of capitalized borrowing costs

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

For the general borrowings obtained for the acquisition and construction or production of a qualifying asset, the interest expense to be capitalized is determined by multiplying the capitalization rate of general borrowings used by 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 borrowings.

Where there is any discount or premium, the amount of discounts or premiums shall be amortized in each accounting period by using effective 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 specific borrowings denominated in foreign currencies are capitalized as part of the cost of the qualifying assets.

17. Intangible asset

(1) Initial measurement of intangible assets

An intangible asset is an identifiable non-monetary asset without physical substance owned or controlled by the Company.

An intangible asset shall be initially measured at cost. The expenditures incurred on an intangible asset shall be recognised as cost of the intangible asset only if it is probable that economic benefits associated with the asset will flow to the Company and the cost of the asset can be measured reliably. Other expenditures on an item asset shall be charged to profit or loss when incurred.

Land use right acquired shall normally be recognised as an intangible asset. For self-constructed buildings (e.g. plants), the expenditures on the land use right and cost of the buildings shall be separately accounted for as an intangible asset and fixed asset. For buildings and structures purchased, the purchase consideration shall be allocated among the land use right and the buildings on a reasonable basis. In case there is difficulty in making a reasonable allocation, the consideration shall be recognised in full as an fixed asset.

(2) Subsequent measurement of intangible assets

Useful life of intangible assets

The useful life of intangible assets is determined upon acquisition. For an intangible asset with definite useful life, the Company estimates the years of its useful life or the amount of similar measurement units such as production capacity constituting a useful life. An intangible asset with unforeseeable life to bring economic benefits to the Company is deemed to be an intangible asset with indefinite useful life.

Amortisation of intangible assets

An intangible asset with a definite useful life are amortized over the estimated useful life from the month of acquisition using the straight-line method. An intangible asset with indefinite useful life are not amortized but an impairment test is carried out at the end of the year.

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

③ When an intangible asset is expected to no longer generate any future economic benefits to the Company at the end of the year, the carrying amount of the intangible asset is entirely transferred into the profit or loss for the period.

18. 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.
  • (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.

19. Long-term prepaid expenses

  • (1) Long-term prepaid expenses are expenditures 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.
  • (2) Pre-operating expenses during the establishment period should be recognized directly in profit or loss in the month as incurred.

20. Impairment of assets

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

  • (1) An asset is tested for impairment if there is any indication that the asset may be impaired at the balance sheet date. If any indication exists that the asset may be impaired, the recoverable amount 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 the present value of the expected future cash flows estimated to be derived from the asset. The recoverable amount is estimated on an 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 written down to the recoverable amount. The written-down amount is provided for impairment loss and recognized in profit or loss for the period.
  • (4) Once the impairment loss of the above assets is recognized, it will not be reversed in subsequent periods.

21. Employee benefits

Staff remuneration of the Company mainly includes short-term staff remuneration, post-employment benefits, termination benefits and other long-term staff benefits, in which:

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 for the Company is recognised as a liability, and included in profit or loss for the current period or as related asset cost. Nonmonetary welfare is measured at fair value.

Post-employment benefits mainly include defined contribution plan. Defined contribution plan mainly includes pension insurance premium and unemployment insurance premium. Relevant contribution amount is included as part of related asset cost or in profit or loss for the current period during the period in which the expenses incurred.

Where the Company 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 Company may not revoke unilaterally the termination benefit provided due to the termination of employment relationship plans or employee redundance proposals or when the Company 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.

The early retirement plan shall be accounted for in accordance with the same accounting principles for termination benefit abovementioned. The salaries or wages and the social contributions to be paid to the retiring employees for the period from the date on which the employees cease rendering services to the scheduled retirement date, shall be recognised as termination benefit in profit or loss for the current period if the recognition criteria for provisions are satisfied.

Where other long-term employee benefit provided by the Company for its employees falls in defined contribution plans, it shall be accounted for as a defined contribution plan, or otherwise as a defined benefit plan.

Obligations pertinent to the contingencies which satisfy all the following conditions are recognised as accrued liabilities: (a) The obligation is a current obligation borne by the Company; (b) it is likely that an outflow of economic benefits will be resulted from the performance of the obligation; and (c) 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.

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.

23. Share-based payments and equity instruments

(1) Share-based payments

Equity-settled share incentives are granted to senior management by the Company. Equity instruments used for share incentives are measured at their fair value as at the date of grant.

(2) Accounting treatment of share-based payments

Equity-settled share payments to employees are charged to costs and capital reserve (other capital reserve) at their fair value on the date of grant, and subsequent changes in fair value are not accounted. Cash-settled share payments to employees are re-measured at their fair value on each balance sheet date and are recognised as costs and staff remuneration payables.

23. Share-based payments and equity instruments — Continued

(3) Determination of fair value of equity instruments

If there is an active market for an equity instrument granted such as share option, the fair value of the equity instrument is determined based on the quoted price in the active market. If not, the fair value is determined using the option pricing model.

(4) Recognition basis for the best estimate 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 best estimate made by the Company according to the latest available subsequent information as to changes in the number of employees with exercisable rights. As at the exercise date, the final estimated 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 to be recognised for the period is determined based on the fair value of abovementioned equity instruments and estimated number of exercisable equity instruments, after deducting the recognised amount for the previous period, and is expensed for the period.

24. Revenue

(1) Sale of goods

Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised when all the following conditions are satisfied: the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods have been transferred to purchaser; the Company retains neither continuing managerial involvement to the degree usually associated with ownership nor effective control over the goods sold; it is probable that the associated economic benefits will flow to the Company; the relevant revenue and costs can be measured reliably.

(2) Rendering of services

On the balance sheet date, outcome of a transaction on rendering of services that could be reliably estimated shall be recognised using percentage-of-completion method. The Company determines the total revenue from rendering of services based on the purchase price received or receivable by the party to whom the services are rendered under the contract or agreement, except when the purchase price is unfair.

On the balance sheet date, where the outcome of a transaction on rendering of services cannot be reliably estimated, accounting treatment is carried out as follows:

  • ① If the cost incurred is expected to be recoverable, the revenue from rendering of services shall be recognised at the cost that has been incurred, and an equivalent amount is carried forward to profit or loss as service cost.
  • ② If the cost incurred is not expected to be recoverable, the cost that has been incurred shall be recognised in the profit or loss for the period, and no revenue from such services is recognised.

(3) Transfer of asset use rights

When it is probable that the economic benefits related to the transaction will flow to the Company and the revenue from transfer of asset use rights can be reliably measured, it is recognised as follows:

  • ① The interest income is recognised on basis of the length of time during which and effective interest rate at which the Company's cash funds are utilized by the others.
  • ② The royalty income is recognised on basis of the agreed payment schedule and method under relevant agreement or contract.

25. Government grants

Government grants are divided into asset-related government grants and income-related government grants.

(1) Recognition and measurement of government grants

Government grants are recognized when all attaching conditions are satisfied and the grants are received.

If a government grant is in the form of a transfer of a monetary asset, it is measured at the amount received or receivable. If a government grant is in the form of a transfer of a nonmonetary asset, it is measured at fair value; if fair value is not reliably determinable, it is measured at a nominal amount.

(2) Accounting treatment of government grants

An asset-related government grant shall be recognized as deferred income, and evenly amortized to profit or loss over the useful life of the related asset.

A government grant measured at a nominal amount is recognized directly in profit or loss for the period.

For an income-related government grant, where the grant is a compensation for related expenses or losses to be incurred by an entity in subsequent periods, it shall be recognized as deferred income and included in profit or loss for the period when related expenses are charged; where the grant is a compensation for related expenses or losses already incurred by the entity, the grant shall be recognized directly in profit or loss for the period.

26. Deferred tax assets/deferred tax liabilities

(1) Current income tax

At the balance sheet date, current income tax liabilities (or assets) for the current and prior periods shall be measured at the income tax expected to be paid (or returned) as required by tax laws. Taxable income, based on which the current income tax expense is calculated, is derived after adjusting the accounting profit before tax for the year in accordance with relevant requirements of tax laws.

Half year of 2015

4. MAJOR ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES — Continued

26. Deferred tax assets/deferred tax liabilities — Continued

(2) Deferred income tax assets and deferred income tax liabilities

Temporary differences arising from the difference between the carrying amount of an asset or liability and its tax base, and the difference between the tax base and the carrying amount of an item that is not recognised as an asset or liability but has a tax base that can be determined according to tax laws, shall be recognised for deferred income tax assets and deferred income tax liabilities using the balance sheet liability method.

Deferred income tax liabilities are not recognised for taxable temporary differences related to: the initial recognition of goodwill; and the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction which is neither a business combination nor affects accounting profit or taxable income (or deductible loss) at the time of the transaction. In addition, for taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates, and joint ventures, if the Company is able to control the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference, and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future,relevant deferred income tax liabilities are not recognised either. Except for abovementioned circumstances, the Company recognises deferred income tax liabilities arising from other taxable temporary differences.

Deferred income tax assets are not recognised for deductible temporary differences related to the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction which is neither a business combination nor affects accounting profit or taxable income (or deductible loss) at the time of the transaction. In addition, for deductible temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures, if it is not probable that the temporary difference will reverse in the foreseeable future, and it is not probable that taxable income will be available in the future against which the deductible temporary difference can be utilised, relevant deferred income tax assets are not recognised. Except for abovementioned circumstances, the Company recognises deferred income tax assets arising from other deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that taxable income will be available against which the deductible temporary differences can be utilised.

The Company recognises a deferred income tax asset for deductible losses and tax credits that can be carried forward to subsequent periods, to the extent that it is probable that future taxable income will be available against which the deductible losses and tax credits can be utilised.

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

At the balance sheet date, the Company reviews the carrying amount of a deferred income tax asset. If it is probable that sufficient taxable income will not be available in future periods against which the benefit of deferred income tax asset can be utilised, the carrying amount of the deferred income tax asset shall be written down. Any amount so written down shall be reversed when it becomes probable that sufficient taxable income will be available.

(3) Income tax expense

Income tax expense comprises current income tax expense and deferred income tax expense.

Current and deferred income tax expense or income is included in profit or loss for the current period, except for those recognised as other comprehensive income or current income tax and deferred income tax related to transactions or events that are directly recognised in shareholders' equity, which are recognised in other comprehensive income or shareholders' equity, and except for deferred income tax arising from a business combination, which is used to adjust the carrying amount of goodwill.

(4) Offsetting income tax

With the legal rights of netting off and with an intention to net off or realize the assets and settle the liabilities, the Company records the net current income tax assets and current income tax liabilities after offsetting between the assets and liabilities.

When the Company has the legal rights of netting off current income tax assets and liabilities, and deferred income tax assets and deferred income tax liabilities are related to income tax imposed on the same taxable entity by the same tax competent authority or related to different taxable entities, the Company records the net current income tax assets and current income tax liabilities after offsetting between the assets and liabilities, provided that the taxable entity involved is intended to net off current income tax assets and liabilities or, realise assets and settle liabilities during each significant future period whenever deferred income tax assets and liabilities would be reversed.

27. Segment information

The Company 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 Company 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; and
  • (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 intergroup current account balances. Transfer price between operating segments is calculated based on terms similar to those of the transactions with other parties.

28. Operating leases

The Company, as lessor, recognises the rentals under operating leases in profit or loss in respective periods over the leasing term on a straight line basis. Initial direct costs incurred are accounted for in the profit or loss for the period.

29. Changes in significant accounting policies and accounting estimates

(1) Changes in accounting policies

There were no changes in the accounting policies of the Company in the current period.

(2) Changes in accounting estimates

There were no changes in the accounting estimates of the Company in the current period.

30. Critical accounting judgements and estimates

The Company 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 Company'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 Company's management, which may cause critical adjustment to the carrying amount of assets or liabilities which may be affected in the future.

The Company 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 revision and future periods if it affects both current and future periods.

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

(1) Classification of leases

The Company classifies the leases as operating lease and financing lease in accordance with "Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises 21 — Leases". When making the classification, the management needs to analyse and judge whether all the risks and rewards relating to the ownership of leased out assets have been substantially transferred to the leasee, or whether the Company has been substantially obliged to all the risks and rewards relating to the ownership of leased assets.

(2) Allowance for inventories

In accordance with the accounting policies of inventories and by measuring at the lower of cost and net realisable value, the Company 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.

Half year of 2015

4. MAJOR ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES — Continued

30. Critical accounting judgements and estimates — Continued

(3) Depreciation and amortisation

The Company 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 Company 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 Company 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.

(4) 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 Company'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.

(5) Income tax

There are some uncertainties in tax treatment and calculation for some transactions of the Company during its ordinary course of business. The approval from the tax authority is required for pre-tax 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.

2. Financial risk Management objectives and policies

The Company's major financial instruments include: cash at bank and on hand, derivative financial instruments, notes receivable, accounts receivable, other receivables, notes payable, accounts payable, other payables and bank borrowings. Details of the financial instruments were disclosed in the relevant notes.

Risks associated with the above financial instruments include: credit risk, liquidity risk, interest rate risk and foreign currency risk.

(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 30 June 2015, 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:

Currency Assets Liabilities Assets Liabilities

3. Capital Management

The primary objectives of the Company's capital management are to safeguard the Company's ability to continue as a going concern and to maintain healthy capital ratios in order to support its business and maximise shareholders' value.

The Company manages its capital structure and makes adjustments to it in light of changes in economic conditions and the risk characteristics of the underlying assets. To maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Company may adjust the dividend payment to shareholders, return capital to shareholders or issue new shares. No changes were made in the objectives, policies or processes for managing capital during the periods ended 30 June 2015 and 31 December 2014.

The Company monitors capital using a gearing ratio, which is net debt divided by the adjusted capital plus net debt. Net debt includes bank and other borrowings, accounts payable, notes payable, other payables and debentures payables, less cash and cash equivalents.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

I. ANALYSIS OF THE COMPANY'S OPERATION

1. Overall operation of the Company during the Reporting Period

During the Reporting Period, the white goods industry continued with the weak development trend in 2014. There was insufficient demand within the domestic market and there was sluggish growth or even contraction. Affected by these circumstances, the whole industry continued to suffer from declines in both sales volumes and values. According to the statistics of China Market Monitor Company Limited (CMM), as at June 2015, the cumulative retail volume of the refrigerator industry recorded a year-on-year decrease of 7.58%, and its cumulative retail value decreased by 2.12% year-on-year; whereas the cumulative retail volume of the airconditioner industry recorded a year-on-year decrease of 4.68%, and its cumulative retail value decreased by 9.03% year-on-year. As for the export business, the overall demand in the overseas market was weak. According to the Customs Statistics, the export volume in the first half of 2015 for the refrigeration industry recorded a year-on-year increase of 6.3%, and the export volume for the air-conditioning industry recorded a year-on-year decrease of 5.6%.

During the Reporting Period, the Company has been revolving around the operating directions of "building product advantage, enhancing sales capability, improving service quality, uplifting system performance and ensuring production scale and efficiency" formulated in the beginning of the year in implementing various tasks. However, due to factors such as insufficient demand in the market, slow improvement in the qualities of the Company's channel and inadequate product mix optimization, the effects of economies of scale of the Company declined. The Company recorded an operating revenue of RMB13,611 million and principal operating revenue of RMB12,488 million, representing a year-on-year decrease of 11.01%. Among these, the revenue from the refrigerator and washing machine business accounted for 49.14% of the principal operating revenue, representing a year-on-year decrease of 2.4%; revenue from the air-conditioner business accounted for 46.39% of the principal operating revenue, representing a year-on-year decrease of 19.71%; the domestic sales business recorded a principal operating revenue of RMB8,404 million, representing a year-on-year decrease of 16.91%, whereas the export sales business recorded a principal operating revenue of RMB4,084 million, representing a year-on-year increase of 4.23%. During the Reporting Period, the Company achieved a net profit attributable to shareholders of the Listed Company of RMB506 million, representing a year-on-year decrease of 17.06% and the earnings per share was RMB0.37.

I. ANALYSIS OF THE COMPANY'S OPERATIONContinued

2. Refrigerators and washing machines

While facing an external environment of increasing complexity of the industry during the Reporting Period, the Company actively implemented the foundation works of "reducing costs and improving efficiency" in the refrigerator and washing machine business. The gross profit margin of the domestic refrigerators and washing machines increased by 3.04 percentage points year-on-year. In terms of production efficiency, the average standard of output per worker increased by 34% year-on-year with the decrease in production scale, and the labour cost per unit improved by 21% year-on-year. In terms of technology, the Company has been committed to fulfilling its social responsibility by implementing "green energy" through procurement of innovative technology. The Company and Honeywell agreed to an in-depth strategic cooperation in which they would jointly promote the wide spread use of Solstice liquid blowing agent (LBA) in the refrigeration products, so as to further enhance the energy efficiency rating of its refrigeration products, and strengthen the Company's leading position in energy saving for refrigeration products. In terms of products, the Company insisted on uplifting the level of intelligence in products and enhancing user experience, by actively implementing work in respect of high-end products and launching upgraded products such as the "Ronshen Shishangpai(食尚派) Series" and the "Hisense Beiduofen(倍多分)Series". In the 2015 China Refrigerator Industry Summit Forum, with its technical innovations in fresh-keeping and moisturizing, "Ronshen" refrigerator won the grand award of the "Leading Brand in Fresh-keeping Technology in refrigerator industry"; with its innovative structural design and advanced innovative technology, the "Ronshen" 618 litres cross-design four-door intelligent refrigerator won the unique award of "Cross-design four-door leading product" in the industry; the "Hisense" 612 litres side-byside refrigerator was awarded the "High-end Variable Frequency Product in Refrigerator Industry" because of its differential advantages such as good cooling effect, strong fresh-keeping capabilities as well as low power consumption.

In the area of export business, the Company has actively expanded its scale of export to make up for the contracted domestic demand. According to the Customs Statistics, the Company's export volume of refrigeration products in the first half of 2015 increased by 16.4% year-on-year, representing a growth rate higher than the industry level of 6.3%.

3. Air-conditioner business

During the Reporting Period, the air-conditioner industry in general demonstrated low business at the time of peak season due to the factors including the general downturn of the air-conditioner industry, high volume of inventories and relatively cooler summer. According to the CMM statistics, the air-conditioning industry's cumulative retail volume in May and June 2015, being the traditional peak season, recorded year-onyear decrease of 5.13% and 4.68% respectively. Coupled with the impact of a price war, the air-conditioner manufacturing enterprises were facing a difficult business environment. During the first half of the year, the scale of the Company's air-conditioner business contracted, coupled with the impact of the price war, the gross profit margin fell by 3.33 percentage points year-on-year and there was a decline in profitability. Despite the difficult situation, the Company has been persistent in its strategy of "product is king" and "focus on refined products". The Company introduced Hisense Air-conditioner's Apple Cloud Series T, model Yuanzhuang(" 炫轉 ")air-conditioner. With its brilliant performance in five areas including "intelligence, energy efficiency, healthy living, aesthetics and quietness", Hisense Yuanzhuang(" 炫轉 ")air-conditioner won the "Chinese Home Electrical Appliance Design Award" in the Chinese Home Electrical Appliances Expo.
