  1. Accounting treatment for business combinations involving entities under common and not under common control — Continued

(1) Business combination involving entities under common control

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

Assets and liabilities that are obtained by the acquirer in a business combination shall be measured at their carrying amount at the combination date as recorded by the acquirees. The difference between the carrying amount of the net assets obtained and the carrying amount of the consideration paid by the acquirer for the combination (or the aggregate par value of the issued shares) shall be adjusted to share premium under capital reserve (or capital premium). If the share premium under capital reserve (or capital premium) is not sufficient to absorb the difference, any excess shall be adjusted against retained earnings.

Expenses that are directly attributable to the business combination by the acquirer are charged to the profit and loss for the period in which they are incurred.

(2) Business combination involving entities not under common control

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 IV.5(2)). 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 IV.13 “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.

  • 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.

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 IV.13 “Long term equity investment” or note IV.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 IV.13(2) “Disposal of long-term equity investment” 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.

  1. 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 IV.13(2)② “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.

  1. Criteria for the recognition of cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents of the Company include cash on hand, deposits readily available for payment, and highly liquid investments with a short maturity of generally within three months when acquired that are readily convertible into known amounts of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.

  1. 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.

  • 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 average 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 spot average exchange 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.

(1) Classification, recognition and measurement of financial assets

Based on its business model for managing the financial assets and the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial assets, the Company will classify its financial assets as: financial assets carried at amortised cost; financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income; and financial assets at fair value through profit or loss.

Financial assets are measured at fair value on initial recognition. The relevant transaction cost of financial assets at fair value through profit or loss is directly included in profit or loss of the current period, and that of other types of financial assets is included in the amount initially recognised. Accounts receivable or notes receivable arising from sales of goods or rendering services, without significant financing component, are initially recognised based on the transaction price expected to be entitled by the Company.

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

  • 1 Financial assets carried at amortised cost

The financial asset is held by the Company within a business model whose objective is to hold financial assets in order to collect contractual cash flows, the contractual cash flow characteristics of financial assets are consistent with features of a basic lending arrangement, which means the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise, on specified dates, to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding. The Company subsequently measured such financial assets using the effective interest method. Gains or losses arising from amortisation or impairment are recognised in the profit or loss of the current period.

  • 2 Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income

The Company’s business model for managing such financial assets is achieved both by collecting contractual cash flows and selling of these assets. The contractual cash flow characteristics of such financial assets are consistent with the basic lending arrangements. Such financial assets are measured at fair value through other comprehensive income, but impairment losses or gains, exchange gains and losses, and interest income calculated by effective interest method are recognised in the current profit and loss.

In addition, the Company may designate part of the non-trading equity instruments as financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income. The Company may include relevant dividend income of such financial assets in the current profit and loss, and include changes in fair value in other comprehensive income. Upon the derecognition of such financial assets, the accumulated gains or losses previously included in other comprehensive income will be carried forward to retained earnings rather than included in the current profit or loss.

  • 3 Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss

The Company classifies the financial assets which are not financial assets carried at amortised cost and financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income as financial assets at fair value through profit or loss. In addition, upon initial recognition, the Company designates some financial assets as financial assets at fair value through profit or loss in order to eliminate or significantly reduce the accounting mismatch. The Company will subsequently measure such financial assets at fair value and changes in fair value will be included in the current profit or loss.

(2) Classification, recognition and measurement of financial liabilities

On initial recognition, financial liabilities are classified as financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss and other financial liabilities. For financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, the related transaction expense is directly recognised in profit or loss for the current period. For other financial liabilities, the related transaction expense is included in the amount of initial recognition.

1 Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss

Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss include financial liabilities held-for-trading (with derivative instruments which are financial liabilities) and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss on initial recognition.

Financial liabilities held-for-trading (with derivative instruments which are financial liabilities) are subsequently measured at fair value. Except for those involving hedge accounting, changes in fair value will be included in the current profit or loss.

For financial liabilities designated as financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, when such liabilities are arising from the change in fair value of the financial liabilities that are attributable to changes in its own credit risk of the Company and derecognition, their accumulated changing amount of fair value arising from changes in its own credit risk which are included in other comprehensive income will be carried forward to retained earnings. The remaining changes in fair value will be included in the profit or loss. If the handling of such impact of changes in its own credit risk of such financial liabilities would create, or enlarge, an accounting mismatch, in which case the gains or losses (including the amount of the changes in the company’s credit risk) will also be included in profit or loss.

2 Other financial liabilities

Excluding the financial liabilities and financial guarantee contracts which are formed because transfers of financial assets do not meet the derecognition conditions or continuing involvements in the transferred financial assets are noted, other financial liabilities are classified as financial liabilities measured at amortised cost and subsequently measured at amortised cost. Gains or losses arising from derecognition or amortisation are included in the profit or loss.

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

The financial asset will be derecognised 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.

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 accordingly, the relevant liability. The extent of 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 financial asset transferred 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 derecognition are satisfied upon partial transfer of the financial asset, the carrying amount of the transferred financial asset is allocated between the derecognised 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 derecognised 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 is derecognised; where substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset have been retained, the financial asset is not derecognised; 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.

(4) Derecognition of financial liabilities

If the current obligation of the financial liabilities (or a part thereof) has been discharged, the financial liabilities (or that part of the financial liabilities) are derecognised. If the Company (as borrower) and the lender sign an agreement to replace the original financial liabilities with new financial liabilities, and the new financial liabilities are substantially different from the original financial liabilities, the original financial liabilities will be derecognised and the new financial liabilities will be recognised. As for substantive changes made to the contract terms of the original financial liabilities (or a part thereof), the original financial liabilities will be derecognised, and the financial liabilities with revised terms will be recognised as new financial liabilities.

If the financial liabilities (or a part thereof) are derecognised, the difference between the carrying amount and the consideration paid (including the transferred non-cash assets or liabilities assumed) is recognised in profit or loss for the current period.

(5) Offsetting financial assets and financial liabilities

Where the Company has a legal right to offset the recognised financial assets and financial liabilities and such right may be enforced at present and there are plans for netting or realising the financial assets and settling the financial liabilities, the net balance upon the offset between the financial assets and the financial liabilities is presented in the balance sheet. Otherwise, the financial assets and financial liabilities are separately presented in the balance sheet without offsetting against each other.

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

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 technique. 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. At the time of valuation, the Company adopts valuation techniques that are applicable in the current circumstances and that are sufficient to support the use of data and other information, and are selected to be consistent with the characteristics of assets or liabilities considered by market participants in transactions in related assets or liabilities. The relevant observable input values are used as much as possible. Unobservable input values are used where the relevant observable input values are not available or are not practicable.

(7) 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. Transaction costs related to equity transactions are charged to equity. The Company does not recognise the change in fair value of equity instruments.

For dividends (including the “interests” arising from the instruments classified as equity instruments) distributed during the term of the Company’s equity instruments, such distribution will be treated as profit distribution.

10. Impairment of financial assets

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

(1) Recognition method of impairment provision

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

(4) Accounting treatment method of impairment of financial assets

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

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

1 Notes receivable

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

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

    • 2 Accounts receivable and contract assets

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

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

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

Basis for determination of groups

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

  • 3 Other receivables

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

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

11. Contract assets

For outstanding contract consideration to be settled by customers, performance obligations performed by the Company in accordance with the contracts and the right to charge fees from customers which is not unconditional (i.e., depending on the passage of time only), such items are stated as contract assets in the balance sheet. The shall be presented on a net basis contract assets or contract liabilities under the same contract shall be presented on a net basis, while contract assets and contract liabilities under different contracts will not be offset.

For the determination and accounting treatment methods of the expected credit loss of contract assets, please see note IV.10 “Impairment of financial assets”.

12. Inventories

(1) Classification of inventories

Inventories are classified into: raw materials, work in progress, 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, 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 writedown 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.

13. 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 financial assets at fair value through profit or loss for the period. In case such equity investment is not held for sale, then the Company may choose to designate such equity investment as financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income. For details on its accounting policy, please refer to note IV.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 longterm 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 IV.5(2) “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.

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 IV.22 “Impairment on long term assets”.

14.

Investment properties

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

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

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

The method for impairment test of investment property and measurement of impairment provision are detailed in note IV.22 “Impairment of long-term assets”.

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

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

15. 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:

  • When it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the fixed asset will flow into the Company;

  • 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 following the month 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
Motor vehicles 5-10 5-10 9-19
Moulds 3 0 33.33

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

(3) Impairment test and provision for impairment loss of fixed assets

Please see note IV.22 “Impairment on long term assets” for recognition of provision for impairment of fixed assets of the Company.

(4) Other explanations

Subsequent expenditures incurred for the fixed asset are included in the cost of the fixed asset and if it is probable that economic benefits associated with the asset will flow to the Company and the subsequent expenditures can be measured reliably. Meanwhile the carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognised. Other subsequent expenditures shall be charged to profit or loss when incurred.

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

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

16. Construction in progress

(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 IV.22 “Impairment on long term assets” for the recognition of provision for impairment on construction in progress.

17. 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:

  • 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;

  • The borrowing costs have been incurred;

17. 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.

18. 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.

During the end of the period, the Company shall check the useful life and the amortization method of intangible assets with limited useful life and carry out accounting estimate change in case that a change happens. In addition, the Company shall check the useful life of intangible assets with indefinite useful life, if there are evidences showing that the intangible assets can bring economic benefit for the Company within the foreseeable period, the Company shall estimate the useful life and carry out amortization according to the amortization policy for intangible assets with finite useful life.

  • 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.

  • Impairment of intangible assets

Please see note IV.22 “Impairment on long term assets” for the recognition of provision for impairment of intangible assets.

  • 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.

20. 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.

21. Contract liability

A contract liability represents the Company’s obligation to transfer goods or services to a customer for which consideration has been received or is receivable by the Company. If the customer has paid the contract consideration or the Company has obtained the unconditional right to consideration before the Company transfers goods to the customer, the Company will present the amount received or receivable as a contract liability at the time of actual payment by the customer or the due date of the amount to be paid by the customer, whichever is earlier. The contract assets or contract liabilities under the same contract shall be presented on a net basis, while contract assets and contract liabilities under different contracts will not be offset.

22. Impairment on long term assets

At balance sheet date, the Company will assess whether there are any indications of impairment on noncurrent and non-financial assets such as fixed assets, construction in progress, intangible asset with finite useful life, investment properties accounted for using cost model, long-term equity investments in joint ventures and associates. If any indication exists that an asset may be impaired, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated and impairment test will be performed. Impairment test will be performed on goodwill, intangible asset with infinite useful life and intangible asset which are not yet ready for use each year, regardless of whether any indications for impairment exist.

If the result of the impairment test indicates that the recoverable amount of an asset is less than its carrying amount, a provision for impairment and an impairment loss are recognized for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs to sell and the present value of the future cash flows expected to be derived from the asset. Fair value of an asset is determined based on the transaction amount in arm’s length transaction; when there are no transactions but has an active market for the asset, the fair value is determined based on the bid price in the market; when there no transactions and active market for the asset, the fair value is estimated based on the best information available. Costs to sell include legal fee, taxes, logistics charges and other expenses that incurred directly to bring the asset to saleable condition. Present value of the future cash flows expected to be derived from the asset is calculated by discounting the expected future cash flows from continuous use of the asset and disposal of the asset using an appropriate discount rate. Provision for asset impairment is determined and recognized on the individual asset basis. If it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the recoverable amount of a group of assets to which the asset belongs is determined. A group of assets is the smallest group of assets that is able to generate independent cash inflows.

Once the above asset impairment loss is recognized, it will not be reversed for the value recovered in the subsequent periods.

23. 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.

24. Provisions

Obligations pertinent to the contingencies which satisfy all the following conditions are recognised as accrued liabilities: (1) The obligation is a current obligation borne by the Company; (2) it is likely that an outflow of economic benefits will be resulted from the performance of the obligation; and (3) 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.

25. 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

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

(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. The effect of the above estimate is included in relevant costs or expenses for the period and the capital reserve is adjusted accordingly. 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

When there is changes in the Company’s share-based payment plans, if the modification increases the fair value of the equity instruments granted, corresponding recognition of service increases in accordance with the increase in the fair value of the equity instruments. Increase in the fair value of equity instruments refers to the differences between the fair values of the date of modification. If the modification reduces the total fair value of shares paid or is not conductive to the use of other employees’ share-based payment plans, it will continue to be accounted for, as if the change had not occurred, unless the Company cancelled some or all of the equity instruments granted.

During the vesting period, if the equity instruments granted are cancelled, the Company would treat the cancelled equity instruments granted as accelerated vesting, and the amount within the remaining period should be recognized immediately in profit or loss while recognizing the capital reverses. If employees or other parties can meet non-vesting conditions but do not meet within the vesting period, the Company will treat it as cancelled equity instruments granted.

26. Revenue

Revenue is recognized when the customer obtains control of the goods, subject to the fulfilment of the following conditions under the contract entered into the Company and customers: the parties has approved the contract and undertaken to fulfil their respective obligations; the contract clearly states the parties to the contract and their rights and obligations relating to the transferred goods and rendered services; the contract clearly stated the payment terms relating to the transferred goods; the contract has commercial substance that the fulfilment of the contract will result in changes in the risk, time frame or amount of the future cash flow risk of the Company; the collection of the consideration that the Company is entitled to for transferring the goods is probable.

On the effective date of the contract, the Company identifies each performance obligation under such contracts and allocate the transaction price to each performance obligation based on the percentage of respective unit price of a good guaranteed by each performance obligation. The determination of the transaction price has taken into account the impact of factors, such as variable consideration, the significant financing component exist in the contract, non-cash consideration, consideration payable to the customers.

For each of the performance obligations under the Contract, if one of the following conditions is fulfilled, the Company shall recognised the transaction price which was allocated to each of the performance obligations as income based on the progress of performance within a certain period: the Client has received and consumed simultaneously all of the economics benefits; When the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits provided by the Company when the Company performs its obligations under the contract; When the customer is able to control the commodity in progress in the course of performance by the Company under the contract; The product produced by the Company under the contract is irreplaceable and the Company has the right to payment for performance completed to date. The stage of fulfilment are determined based on the nature of the transferred goods with the adoption of input method or output-based method. When the progress of performance cannot be reasonably determined, if the costs incurred by the Group are expected to be recoverable, the revenue will be recognised to the extent of the costs incurred until the progress of performance can be reasonably determined.

If one of the above conditions is not fulfilled, the Company shall recognised the transaction price which was allocated to each of the performance obligations as income when the customer is able to control the commodity. When determining whether the customer has obtained control of the goods, the Group will consider the following indications: the enterprise has the current right to receive payment for the goods, which is when the customers has the current payment obligations for the goods; the enterprise has transferred the legal title of the goods to the client, which is when the client possesses the legal title of the goods; the Group has transferred the physical possession of goods to the customer, which is when the customer obtain physical possession of the goods; the Group has transferred all of the substantial risks and rewards of ownership of the goods to the customer, which is when the client obtain all of the substantial risks and rewards of ownership of the goods to the customer; when the customer has accepted the goods, which is when other information indicates that the customer has obtained control of the goods.

27. Assets related to contract costs

If the Company expects to recover the incremental cost of the contract, it is recognised as an asset as the contract acquisition cost. However, if the asset amortisation period does not exceed one year, such incremental cost is included in the profit or loss of the current period.

The cost incurred from performing a contract is regarded as the contract performance cost and recognised as an asset in the event that such cost is beyond the scope of other accounting standards for business enterprises other than the Accounting Standard for Business Enterprises No. 14 – Revenue (2017 revision) and the following conditions are met: (1) the costs relate directly to an existing contract or to a specifically identifiable anticipated contract, including direct labour, direct materials, allocations of overheads (or similar costs), costs that are explicitly chargeable to the customer and other costs that are incurred only because the Company entered into the contract; (2) the costs generate or enhance resources of the Company that will be used in satisfying performance obligations in the future; and (3) the costs are expected to be recovered.

Assets related to contract costs are amortised on the same basis as the recognition of revenue on commodities related to the asset and are included in the current profit or loss.

The Company recognises an impairment loss in profit or loss to the extent that the carrying amount of an asset related to contract costs exceeds: (1) remaining amount of consideration that the Company expects to receive in exchange for the goods or services to which the asset relates; less (2) the costs that relate directly to transferring those goods or services. If the factors of impairment in the previous period have changed, such that the difference between the above (1) minus (2) is higher than the book value of the asset, it should be transferred back to the original provision for impairment of assets, and included in the current profit or loss, but the reversed book value of the subsequent asset shall not exceed the book value of the asset on the date of reversal, assuming there is no provision for impairment.

28. Government grants

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

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

28. Government grants — Continued

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

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

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

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

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

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

29. 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.

(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.

30. 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) he 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.

31. Leases

Lease is a contract in which the Company transfers or obtains the right of use of an identified asset or several identified assets under control for the exchange or payment of consideration within a certain period of time.

(1) The Company as lessee under leases

The Company recognises the right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for all leases at the inception of the lease, except for short-term leases and leases of low-value asset for which the simplified approach is elected.

Right-of-use assets are initially measured at cost, which consists of: (1) the amount of the initial measurement of the lease liability; (2) any lease payments made at or before the inception of the lease less any lease incentives received, if any; (3) initial direct expenses; (4) costs to dismantle and remove a leased asset, restore the site on which it is located or restore the leased assets to the condition required by the terms and conditions of the lease. The Company depreciates the right-of-use assets under the depreciation requirements of Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises No. 4 – Fixed Assets (as detailed in Note IV.15 “Fixed Assets”); and under the requirements of Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises No. 8 – Assets Impairment, which determines whether the right-of-use assets are impaired and accounted for the identified impairment losses (as detailed in Note IV.22 “Impairment on long term assets”).

The lease liabilities shall be initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that have not been paid at the inception of the lease. Lease payments represent the payments made by the Company to the lessor in relation to the right to use the leased assets within the lease term, which include: (1) fixed payments and in-substance fixed payments less any relevant lease incentives, if any; (2) variable lease payments subject to an index or a rate, which are initially measured using the index or rate as at the commencement date; (3) the exercise price under the purchase option if the Group is reasonably certain to exercise; (4) payments for termination of a lease if the lease term reflects the Group exercising the option to terminate; (5) expected payments based on the guaranteed residual values provided by the Company. The Company shall measure the interest expenses on the lease liabilities in each period during the lease term at a constant periodic rate and the amounts shall be included in the current profit or loss or capitalised in the underlying assets.

The Company’s variable lease payments not included in the measurement of lease liabilities are recorded in the current profit or loss or related asset costs when incurred.

For short-term leases and leases of low-value assets, the Company applies a simplified method to account for the relevant asset costs or current profit and loss in each period during the lease term using the straight-line method or other systematic method.

If there are changes in the lease scope, consideration and term beyond the original contract term of the lease the Company shall account for it as a separate lease or not based on their respective changes. If it is not treated as a separate lease, the Company shall remeasure the lease liability at the present value calculated at lease payment after the change and the revised discount rate as at the effective date of lease change, with corresponding adjustment made to the book value of the right-ofuse asset. The Company shall record the residual value in the current profit or loss if the carrying value of the right-of-use assets is reduced to zero where the lease liability is required to be further reduced.

(2) The Company as lessor under leases

1 Lease classification

The Company classifies leases into finance leases and operating leases based on the substance of transactions at the commencement date of the lease. Finance lease is a lease that transfers substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of an asset. Operating leases are leases other than finance leases.

2 Operating leases

The Company recognises lease receipts under operating leases as rental income in each period during the lease term using the straight-line method or other systematic method. The initial direct cost related to operating lease is capitalised when incurred, and accounted for as profit or loss for the current period on the same basis as recognition of rental income over the entire lease period; receipt from variable lease payments not included in lease payments in relation to operating lease is included in the profit or loss for the period upon incurrence.

3 Finance leases

At the commencement date of the lease, the Company recognises finance lease receivables and derecognises finance lease assets.

The finance lease receivables are initially measured at the sum of the unguaranteed residual value and the present value discounted at the interest rate implicit in the lease over the unearned lease receipts as at the commencement date of the lease. The lease receipts include: A. lessee’s fixed payments and in-substance fixed payments less any relevant lease incentives if any; B. variable lease payments subject to an index or rate, which are initially measured using the index or rate as at the commencement date; C. the exercise price under the purchase option if the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise; D. payments for termination of a lease if the lease term reflects the lessee exercising the option to terminate; E. the guaranteed residual values provided by the lessee, any parties related to the lessee and independent third parties who have the financial capability to perform the guarantee obligation.

The Company’s variable lease payments not included in measurement on net investment in leases are recorded in the current profit or loss when incurred.

  1. Changes in significant accounting policies and accounting estimates

(1) Changes in accounting policies

  • 1 Changes in accounting policies as a result of implementing the New Lease Standards

The Ministry of Finance issued the Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises No. 21-Leases (2018 Amendments) (Cai Hui [2018] No.35) on 7 December 2018, which requires companies that are listed both domestically and overseas, and companies that are listed overseas and adopt the International Financial Reporting Standards or the Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises in the preparation of financial reports to implement the New Lease Standard with effect from 1 January 2019. The Company has implemented the Lease Standard from the time as the Ministry of Finance requires.

Under the New Lease Standard, for contracts that already existed before the date of initial adoption, the Company elected not to reassess whether the contracts are or contain a lease at the date of initial adoption. For lease contracts with the Company as the lessee, the Company elected to adjust only the cumulative impact of the lease contracts outstanding on 1 January 2019. The cumulative affected amount of initial adoption of retained earnings and other relevant items in the financial statements at the beginning of initial adoption period (i.e. 1 January 2019) were adjusted, and no adjustment was made for the information of comparable period. In particular: For operating leases at the date of initial adoption, the Company measures lease liability based on the present value of the remaining lease payments, discounted using the incremental borrowing rate at the date of initial adoption; and the unpaid rent payables provided based on the accrual basis under the original lease standard will be included in the remaining lease payments.

Impacts of adopting the New Lease Standard to the Company are as follows:

31 December 1 January
2018 Amount 2019 Amount
Changes (before changes) Reclassification Remeasurement (after changes)
Assets:
Other current assets 1,081,172,953.81 -5,214,007.11 1,075,958,946.70

Liabilities:

IV. MAJOR ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES — Continued

33. 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) Revenue recognition

As stated in note IV.26 “Revenue”, the Company makes the following significant accounting judgements and estimates in terms of revenue recognition: identifying customer contracts; estimating the recoverability of the considerations that are entitled to be obtained by transferring goods to customers; identifying the performance obligation in the contract; estimating the variable consideration in the contract and cumulative revenue recognised where it is highly probable that a significant reversal therein will not occur when the relevant uncertainty is resolved; assessing whether there is a significant financing component in the contract; estimating the individual selling price of the individual performance obligation in the contract; determining whether the performance obligation is performed in a certain period of time or at a certain point in time; the determination of the progress of the contract, etc.

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

(2) 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.

(3) Impairment of financial assets

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

(4) 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.

(5) Provision for impairment of long term assets

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

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

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

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

(6) 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.

(7) 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.

(8) 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.

(9) Sales discount

In recognising revenue from sales of goods, the Company estimates the relevant expenses in accordance with the terms of the sales agreement and deducts the sales discounts provided to customers from the revenue from sales of goods.

(10) Provisions

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

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

IX. RISKS RELATING TO FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

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, bank borrowings. Details of the financial instruments were disclosed in the relevant notes.

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

1. Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk to which the Company is exposed to on financial losses due to the failure of clients or financial instrument counterparties to fulfill their contractual obligations, mainly with respect to bank balances, trade and other receivables and financial derivative.

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

The Company mitigates its exposure to risks in respect of trade and other receivables by dealing with diversified customers with healthy financial positions. Certain new customers are required by the Company to make cash payment in order to minimise credit risk. The Company 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 respect of 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 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 accounts and other payables, availability of borrowings and loan financing provided by Hisense Finance, and it is concluded that the Company has adequate funding to fulfill its 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 interestbearing 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 2019, the Company has no bank borrowings. As such, any changes in the interest rate are 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 with respect to investments and transactions denominated in foreign currencies. The Group’s monetary assets and transactions are mainly denominated in RMB, HKD, USD and EUR. The exchange rates between RMB, HKD, USD and EUR are not pegged, and there is fluctuation in exchange rates between RMB, USD and EUR.

~~MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS~~

I. OVERVIEW

(I) INDUSTRY OVERVIEW

During the Reporting Period, domestic refrigerator sales wandered at a low level. According to inferential statistics from the China Market Monitor Company Limited (“CMM”), as of June 2019, cumulative retail volume in the refrigerator sector increased by 1.3% year-on-year. By contrast, performance of the domestic airconditioner market was bleak and the growth of market size turned negative. According to inferential statistics from the CMM, as of June 2019, cumulative retail volume in the air-conditioner market decreased by 5.6% yearon-year. According to the Report on Central Air-conditioning Market of China in the First Half of 2019 issued by aircon (艾肯), as affected by the downturn of the home furnishing retail market, the overall volume of the domestic central air-conditioning market in the first half of 2019 decreased by 2.1% year-on-year. In terms of export market, the size of the market maintained a growth trend, but the market environment was increasingly complicated due to the existence of factors such as trade friction.

(II) ANALYSIS OF COMPANY’S OPERATION

During the Reporting Period, the Company adhered to its business philosophy of “making good, high-quality products” and achieved sustaining and healthy development with a steadily improving operational efficiency. The Company achieved operating revenues of RMB18.950 billion, representing a year-on-year decrease of 6.97%, and principal operating revenue of RMB17.329 billion, representing a year-on-year decrease of 6.02%. Revenue from the refrigerator and washing machine business accounted for 44.20% of the principal operating revenue, representing a year-on-year decrease of 3.32%; and revenue from the air-conditioner business accounted for 51.44% of the principal operating revenue, representing a year-on-year decrease of 7.60%. The domestic sales business recorded a principal operating revenue of RMB10.996 billion, representing a yearon-year decrease of 11.47%, whereas the export sales business recorded a principal operating revenue of RMB6.333 billion, representing a year-on-year increase of 5.23%. Net profits attributable to shareholders in the listed company reached RMB0.960 billion, representing a year-on-year increase of 21.24%, in which net profits after deducting non-recurring gains or losses were RMB0.879 billion, representing a year-on-year increase of 19.07%.

~~MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS~~ ~~— Continued~~

  • I. OVERVIEW — Continued

  • (II) ANALYSIS OF COMPANY’S OPERATION — Continued

    1. The Refrigerator and Washing Machine Business

During the Reporting Period, our refrigerator company implemented cost control by means of “technology”, “procurement” etc. with remarkable results. At the same time, we adhered to the highend product strategy and constantly optimised product mix. Gross profit margin has a year-on-year significant increase of 4.19 percentage points and total profit of the business increased significantly, with our profitability further strengthened. In terms of products, we accurately grasped users’ needs to create products that “users will love” and launched Ronshen X7, an American-style side-by-side refrigerator with “free insertion design”, which is the first of its kind in the side-by-side refrigerator arena. We also launched Italian-style three-door refrigerator and super large air-cooled two-door refrigerator under the Hisense God of Cookery series which have “the biggest capacity and the thinnest body in similar products of the industry” and satisfy the needs of high-end users of small families. They also boast frosted glass panel which is new in the industry, truly realizing “small yet beautiful”. The Hisense “Bingbing L6” upright freezer was also launched which is the first to introduce “-40ºC” deepfreezing technology into family upright freezers. The product mix and competitiveness of the Company have been further enhanced. According to CMM offline statistics, as of June 2019, the Company’s cumulative retail market share in mid-and high-end refrigerators and freezers increased by 2.4% and 1.8% respectively. In addition, the Company unceasingly innovated its way of brand promotion. It enhanced brand image and influence through initiatives such as “producing delicacy documentaries”, “continuously carrying out student financial aid activities to establish our brands’ charity-supporting image”, sponsoring CCTV programmes and new media broadcasting. Commercial cold chain continued its efforts, fully utilising cross-industry alliance to establish cross-industry strategic partnership. The scale and profitability of the business achieved significant growth year-on-year.

2. The Residential Air-conditioner Business

During the Reporting Period, facing the severe pressure of “a shrinking domestic sales market” and “intensive price war”, our air-conditioner company adhered to the high-end strategy and actively optimised export product mix. At the same time, we planned and developed competitive products targeting major foreign markets and actively expanded the scale of export. We achieved good growth in export revenue scale of air-conditioners. Furthermore, through exploring user needs and developing a series of comfortable inverter products, our product competitiveness has been continuously upgraded. At the 2018-2019 China Air-conditioning Industry Summit Forum, “Hisense” was awarded as “Quality Leading Brand of Air-conditioning Industry 2018-2019” and Hisense “Prince Charming X” (男神 X) Air Conditioner was awarded as “Leading Product of Comfortable Inverter of the Air-conditioning Industry 2018-2019” for our R&D and promotion of comfortable inverter products. Furthermore, the Company focused on its major customers, expanded high-quality network with great effort, actively developed new retail channels and further consolidated and strengthened channel building for the “Hisense” and “Kelon” brands. Comprehensive progress has been made in brand building through merchant activities, product packaging, society-oriented marketing, etc., further lifting the public awareness and reputation of our brands.

3. The Central Air-conditioners Business

During the Reporting Period, under the environment of a downturn in the central air-conditioning industry, Hisense Hitachi continuous growth in business scale and profits. The major works are as follows: enriching product portfolio by launching new product series including Hitachi full DC inverter multi-connected SET-FREE A series and Hitachi central air-conditioning new ecology indoor product series, which maintained our products’ leading position; strengthening resource advantage by complementing and strategic cooperation with real estate developments which strongly supported growth of the overall business scale; adhering to high-end product strategy and improving high-end product sales capability from channel to retail level to support further improvement of profitability; actively participating in the development and exchanges of the industry and the Company has been included as a “council member unit” of the Refrigeration and Air-conditioning Heat Exchanger Technology Alliance; emphasizing on synergistic progress of the business development of the Company and the innovation and development of regional economy, with the Company’s project “Building a platform for the research of key technology and products of high performance and large capacity inverter multi-connected air-conditioners” has been approved as a development and construction project of the Shandong Peninsula National Innovation Zone for 2019.

4. Risks faced by the Company and contingency measures

The major risks we face are as follows:

  • (1) Macroeconomic cyclical fluctuation risk: Under the pressure of macroeconomic downturn, the demand for household appliances will decline and the consumption power will not be sufficient, thus affecting the scale of sales of the Company.

  • (2) Continued cost pressure: if the price of raw materials increases significantly, it will adversely affect the profitability of the Company; and the continuously increasing human resources and labour costs, logistics and transportation costs, installation services costs, etc. will all have a negative impact on the Company’s profitability.

  • (3) Trade protectionism is prevalent, and the downward pressure on exports is increasing.

  • (4) Exchange rate fluctuation risk: The fluctuation of the RMB exchange rate directly affects the competitiveness of the Company’s export products, thus affecting the operating of the Company’s export business.
