Photovoltaic glass is the key material of photovoltaic power generation. The construction of photovoltaic glass projects is in line with the requirements of the national “13th Five Year” Plan and the requirements of industrial policies and local development planning, and also has good market prospects.

Triumph Jinghua is located at Tianqu Industrial Park, Dezhou City, Shandong Province, with excellent industrial supporting conditions and convenient and smooth transportation, which shows obvious geographical advantages.

  • III. The reasons why the abovementioned projects will not be constructed by the Applicant but by North Glass and Triumph Jinghua and then transferred to the Applicant and its reasonableness; the fairness of the transfer pricing of the photovoltaic cell packaging materials projects

  • (I) Reasons for the projects to be constructed by North Glass and Triumph Jinghua and then transferred to the Applicant and its reasonableness

In order to capture the market opportunities in the photovoltaic industry, North Glass and Triumph Jinghua plan to construct the photovoltaic glass projects based on their existing production lines, and have submitted the feasibility study reports for the projects to Triumph Group in October 2020. After Triumph Group and CNBMG became aware of the relevant situation, they requested the shareholders of North Glass and Triumph Jinghua to transfer their controlling shareholdings to the Listed Company in order to avoid the problem of horizontal competition with Luoyang Glass in the future.

It has certain advantages for Luoyang Glass to acquire the photovoltaic glass projects to be constructed by the related parties on fair and reasonable terms as compared to the construction of project by itself: (1) the construction of photovoltaic glass projects by Luoyang Glass itself in other places requires plenty of costs and time for the pre-project work, and there are uncertainties in land acquisition, project approval, personnel recruitment and market cultivation; the acquisition of the projects to be constructed by the related parties can make full use of the existing industrial resources and reduce operational risks; (2) photovoltaic glass has a sale coverage, and the existing photovoltaic glass production lines of Luoyang Glass are mainly located in Eastern China, while North Glass and Triumph Jinghua to be acquired are located in Northern China, which is beneficial to the improvement of the layout of the Listed Company; (3) as Luoyang Glass is in the process of expanding its existing photovoltaic glass production lines, and with the acquisition of the projects to be constructed by the related parties, it can better seize the development opportunities of the new energy industry. Therefore, it is reasonable for Luoyang Glass to acquire the photovoltaic glass projects to be constructed by the related parties on fair and reasonable terms.

  • (II) Fairness of the transfer pricing of the photovoltaic cell packaging materials

  1. Fairness of the transfer pricing of 60% equity interest in North Glass

For the matter of equity transfer of North Glass, Zhongjing Minxin (Beijing) Assets Appraisal Co., Ltd.,* ( 中京民信(北京)資產評 估有限公司 ) has issued the Assets Appraisal Report (Jing Xin Ping Bao Zi (2021) No. 005) (《資產評估報告》( 京信評報字 [2021] 第 005 號 )). As at 30 November 2020, the appraisal value of the entire equity interest attributable to the shareholders of North Glass was RMB303,793,200. The 60% equity interest in North Glass was transferred to Luoyang Glass, and the corresponding transfer price of RMB182,275,900 was calculated and determined with reference to the abovementioned appraisal value.

This appraisal was conducted using both the cost approach and the income approach, of which the appraisal value of the entire shareholders’ equity of North Glass under the cost approach was RMB303,793,200, with an appreciation of RMB118,519,800 or 63.97%; the appraisal value of the entire shareholders’ equity of North Glass under the income approach was RMB298,944,800, with an appreciation of RMB113,671,400 or 61.35%. Taking into account the appraisal target, the purpose of the appraisal, applicable type of value and other factors, the appraisal institution selected the appraisal results under the cost approach as the final appraisal conclusion.

Under the cost approach, the appraisal results of North Glass are summarized as follows:

Owner’s equity 18,527.34 30,379.32 11,851.98 63.97

The appraisal value of the entire shareholders’ equity of North Glass under the cost approach was RMB303,793,200, with an appreciation of RMB118,519,800 or 63.97%, mainly due to: (1) the intangible assets: the value of the land use rights for the two parcels of land appraised increased by RMB42,985,900, representing an appreciation rate of 210.35%, which was mainly due to the low price for acquiring the land by the enterprise and the rapid increase in the price of industrial land in recent years; (2) the fixed assets: the appraisal value of buildings and properties increased by RMB51,451,800, representing an appreciation rate of 56.54%, which was mainly due to a significant increase in construction costs as a result of the increase in construction materials costs and labor costs during the period from an earlier age when the buildings and properties were built till now.

The pricing of the Company’s acquisition of the controlling interest in Northern Glass was based on the Asset Appraisal Report (record number: 1592ZGJC2021042) filed by CNBMG. The appraisal institution engaged was independent, the appraisal approach was related to the purpose of the appraisal, and the appraisal conclusion was reasonable. Therefore, the pricing of the equity transfer was fair.

2. Termination of transfer of equity interest in Triumph Jinghua

On 7 June 2021, the 33rd meeting of the ninth session of the Board of the Listed Company was convened, at which the Resolution in Relation to the Termination of Cooperation between the Company and Triumph Glass Holding Co., Ltd.* (《關於公司與凱盛玻璃控股 有限公司終止合作的議案》) was considered and approved, and the Termination Agreement of Cooperation Framework Agreement was entered into between the Listed Company and Triumph Holding. As at the date of issuance of the Reply Report regarding the Notification Letter, the transfer of equity interest in Triumph Jinghua has been terminated, without involving the fairness of the transfer pricing.

IV. Bad debt provision for accounts receivable

As at the end of each period during the reporting period, the Company’s policies on the provision for bad debts of accounts receivable are as follows:

  • ① Accounts receivable without containing significant financing components. For the accounts receivable without containing significant financing components arising from transactions regulated under the Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises No. 14 – Revenue, the Company adopts a simplified approach which is to always measure the loss provisions at lifetime expected credit loss.

Based on the nature of financial instruments, the Company assesses whether credit risk has increased significantly on the basis of an individual financial asset or groupings of financial assets. When the expected credit loss of an individual financial asset could not be assessed at a reasonable cost, the Company divides accounts receivable into certain groupings based on credit risk characteristics, and calculates the expected credit loss on groupings basis. Basis for the grouping is as follows:

Accounts receivable grouping 1: general customer

Accounts receivable grouping 2: related party customer (de facto controller and its subsidiaries)

– 35 –

Notes receivable grouping 1: commercial acceptances

Notes receivable grouping 2: bank acceptances

For accounts receivable and notes receivable that are classified into general customer grouping and commercial acceptances, respectively, by making reference to the experience of historical credit losses and giving consideration to the current situation and the forecast of the future economic situation, the Company prepares a comparison table specifying the aging and the lifetime expected credit loss rates of such receivables to calculate the expected credit loss. For accounts receivable that are classified as related party group, by making reference to the experience of historical credit losses and giving consideration to the current situation and the forecast of the future economic situation, the Company calculates expected credit loss using exposure at default (“ EAD ”) and lifetime expected credit loss rate.

  • ② Accounts receivable and rental receivable containing significant financing components

For accounts receivable containing significant financing components, and rental receivable regulated under the Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises No. 21 – Leases, the Company measures loss provisions with the general approach, i.e. the “three-stage” model.

In particular, the Company makes bad debt provision for accounts receivable on both individual basis and group basis (including general customers and related party customers). At the end of 2020, the balance of the accounts receivable provided on individual basis amounted to RMB36,626,800, with a bad debt provision ratio of 100%; the balance of the accounts receivable provided on group (related party) basis amounted to RMB46,741,800, with a bad debt provision ratio of 2%; the balance of the accounts receivable provided on group

– 36 –

(general customers) basis amounted to RMB667,252,000, and the ratio of bad debt provision by aging analysis is 11.26%. Among the listed companies in glass industry, IRICO New Energy ( 彩虹新能源 ), Yaohua Pilkington Glass ( 耀皮玻 璃 ) and other companies disclosed the proportion of bad debt provision by aging analysis in 2020, details of which are as follows:

Within 1 year 1 to 2 years 2 to 3 years 3 to 4 years 4 to 5 years Over 5 years
