Part III Management Discussion and AnalysisI Industry Overview for the Reporting Period
1. Status of the Baijiu Industry
Since the beginning of the 21st century, China's baijiu industry has experienced three development stages. Before 2012, with rapideconomic growth, the income of urban and rural residents rose fast, and the demand for baijiu continued to increase, whileproduction and sales of baijiu continuously expanded at a fast pace. As a result, the baijiu industry witnessed booming supply anddemand. During that period, national baijiu brands and local regional renowned baijiu enterprises achieved rapid development. In thecontext of the rise in both the demand and price of baijiu, the sales income and total profits of baijiu enterprises increased quickly.From the second half of 2012 to 2016, China's economy once again entered a period of adjustment, as the Chinese governmentintroduced a string of policies to restrict the spending on official overseas visits, official vehicles and official hospitality, such as the"Eight-point Decision" and "Six Prohibitions", which include restrictions on the consumption of high-end alcohol with public funds.Consumption scenarios such as commercial consumption and government consumption were limited, leading to a drop in consumerdemand in a short time. Moreover, baijiu prices were under huge pressure. China's baijiu industry entered a period of profoundadjustment. After 2012, both the output growth and income growth of China's baijiu industry slowed down.The baijiu industry began to recover in the second half of 2016, with a rise in consumption demand by end-users, propelling thegrowth of the overall income and profits of the industry. Since 2017, the overall demand and price of baijiu have increased, and therecovery of mid- and high-end baijiu has picked up. In the future, benefiting from the consumption upgrade and the change ofconsumption concept, the growth of sub-high-end baijiu will be the key driver for the development of the baijiu industry.Baijiuenterprises need to fully grasp the great opportunities from the extensive consumption upgrade and strive to better meet theconsumption needs of the market through quality improvement, market segmentation and product innovation and other means, so asto advance the transformation and upgrade of the product structure.According to data released by the China Alcoholic Drinks Association, in 2023, the national alcoholic beverage industry achieved atotal production output of 61.31 million kilolitres, marking a year-on-year increase of 1.1%. Within this, the baijiu sector produced
6.29 million kilolitres, experiencing a decline of 5.1% compared to the previous year; however, it generated sales revenue ofRMB756.3 billion, an increase of 9.7%, and realised a total profit of RMB232.8 billion, an increase of 7.5%. Despite a reduction inproduction, the baijiu industry in China continued to see growth in revenue and profits, with competition in the high-end marketexpected to intensify further.
2. Position of the Company in the Industry
China has a long history of baijiu. There are a large number of baijiu production enterprises in the country, but the regionaldistribution of baijiu consumers is particularly evident. The baijiu industry is characterized by full competition, with a high degree ofmarketization. The market competition is fierce, and the industry adjustments are constantly deepening. In the national market, thecompetitive edges of the enterprises come from their brand influence, product style and marketing & operation models. In a singleregional market, the competitive strengths of the enterprises depend on their brand influence in the region, the recognition of thecompanies by regional consumers and comprehensive marketing capacity.As one of China’s traditional top eight liquor brands, the Company is the first listed baijiu company with both A and B stocks. It islocated in Bozhou City, Anhui Province in China, the hometown of historic figures Cao Cao and Hua Tuo, as well as one of theworld’s top 10 liquor-producing areas. No changes have occurred to the main business of the Company in the Reporting Period. Asthe main product of the Company, the Gujing spirit originated as a “JiuYunChun Spirit”, together with its making secrets, beingpresented as a hometown specialty by Cao Cao, a famous warlord in China’s history, to Emperor Han Xiandi (name: Liu Xie) in A.D.

196, and was continually presented to the royal house since then. With crystalline liquid, rich aroma, a fine flavor and a lingeringaftertaste, the Gujing spirit has helped the Company win four national baijiu golden awards, a golden award at the 13th SIAL Paris,the title of China’s “Geographical Indication Product”, the recognition as a “Key Cultural Relics Site under the State Protection”, therecognition with a “National Intangible Cultural Heritage Protection Project”, a Quality Award from the Anhui provincialgovernment, a title of “National Quality Benchmark”, among other honors.In April 2016, Gujing Distillery signed a strategic cooperation agreement with Huanghelou Liquor Co., Ltd., opening a new era ofcooperation in China's famous liquor industry. Yellow Crane Tower Baijiu is the only famous Chinese liquor in Hubei. Its uniquestyle is "soft, mellow, elegant and cool, and has a long lingering fragrance".

XI Prospects(I) Development Prospect of the Industry the Company is in
1.The baijiu growth logic has been adjusted with slowing consumption upgrades
From the perspective of consumption scenarios, the most distinct trend in 2023 was the booming banquet sector contrasted withweaker business-related consumption, which led to a temporary shift in the structure of baijiu consumption. The year 2024 is set tobe a pivotal starting year for the gradual recovery of the baijiu industry. The growth logic of the past decade has been driven byconsumption upgrades, resulting in price increases and a shift towards higher-end products, a phenomenon that saw many companiesexperiencing a "volume decrease, price increase, continuous ascent". However, with increasing economic uncertainty, more rationalconsumption, reduced government and business spending, demographic aging, and declining birth rates, the Chinese liquor industryis transitioning from a "price increase logic" to a "comprehensive competition logic".
2. The industry concentration continues to increase while the market segmentation intensifiesLooking at the competitive landscape of the industry, concentration is continuously increasing, showing a "dual concentration trend"towards leading baijiu brands and strong regional brands. In 2024, the baijiu industry is expected to continue the trend of "the strongget stronger, the weak decline". Key production areas, leading companies, and renowned brands will further consolidate their marketpositions. Additionally, the differentiation among companies will persist, with baijiu enterprises that possess competitive advantagesand innovation capabilities encountering more development opportunities. Under the dual concentration trend, it is crucial for brandsto elevate their profile while also grounding their marketing efforts. Deep market penetration to achieve compressive and substitutivegrowth will become a core strategy.
3. Brand enhancement has accelerated the quality expression
The trend towards brand-oriented development in the baijiu industry has resulted in an increasing concentration within the sector, atestament to the growing influence and enhancement of leading brands. Shifting from purchasing "products" to "values", baijiucompanies must attract consumers by enhancing brand added value. The significance of brand factors in market competition isgrowing, with high-potential brand development expected to accelerate. Quality is the foundation of a brand, yet historically, baijiubranding has largely been shaped by history, culture, and accolades. In today's competitive environment, consumers place greateremphasis on product quality, thus enhancing the importance of quality expression in market competitiveness.
4. Digitisation drives marketing innovations
The introduction of digital tools has made liquor marketing more dynamic, with digital channel marketing increasingly becoming ameans for liquor companies to reinforce their strengths. Companies are diversifying their marketing strategies, developing digitalsystems, and introducing mechanisms like QR code red packets to boost sales and bottle opening rates, thereby enhancing costefficiency. Utilizing digital platforms allows for precise targeting of desired audiences, boosting promotional impacts. Strengtheningmarket monitoring and implementing "multi-code integration", digital platforms can track product distribution, mitigate the risks ofproduct diversion, and monitor stock changes, leading to more precise and market-oriented marketing rhythms.(II) Development Strategy of the Company

IV. Other informationManagement of Anhui Gujing is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included inthe Annual Report of Anhui Gujing for the year of 2023, but does not include the financial statements and our auditor’s reportthereon.Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusionthereon.
~ 89 ~
In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, considerwhether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit orotherwise appears to be materially misstated.If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are requiredto report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.V. Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Financial StatementsManagement of Anhui Gujing is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance withAccounting Standards of Business Enterprises, and for the design, implementation and maintenance of such internal control asmanagement determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement,whether due to fraud or error.In preparing the financial statements, management is responsible for assessing Anhui Gujing’s ability to continue as a going concern,disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management eitherintends to liquidate Anhui Gujing or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing Anhui Gujing’s financial reporting process.VI. Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial StatementsOur Objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from materialmisstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a highlevel of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with CSAs will always detect a material misstatementwhen it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they couldreasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.As part of an audit in accordance with CSAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout theaudit. We also:
1. Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and performaudit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for ouropinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraudmay involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
2. Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in thecircumstances.
3. Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosuresmade by management.
4. Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidenceobtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on Anhui Gujing’sability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in ourauditor’s report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Ourconclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions maycause Anhui Gujing to cease to continue as a going concern.
5. Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, and whether the financial statements representthe underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
6. Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within AnhuiGujing to express an opinion on the financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of thegroup audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and
~ 90 ~
significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regardingindependence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on ourindependence, and where applicable, related safeguards.From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance inthe audit of the financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in ourauditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, wedetermine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably beexpected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

Thedeconsolidation of subsidiaries is accounted for as though the investment entity partially disposedsubsidiaries without loss of control.When the parent company previously classified as an investment entity ceases to be an investmententity, subsidiary that was previously measured at fair value through profit or loss shall be includedin the scope of consolidated financial statements at the date of the change in status.

In the consolidatedfinancial statements, difference between the cost of the long-term equity investment newly obtainedin purchasing non-controlling interests and share of the subsidiary’s net assets from the acquisitiondate or combination date continuingly calculated pursuant to the newly acquired shareholdingproportion shall be adjusted into capital reserve (capital premium or share premium). If capitalreserve is not enough to be offset, surplus reserve and undistributed profit shall be offset in turn.(ii) Gaining control over the subsidiary in stages through multiple transactionsBusiness combination under common control in stages through multiple transactionsOn the combination date, in the separate financial statement, initial cost of the long-term equityinvestment is determined according to the share of carrying amount of the acquiree’s net assets inthe ultimate controlling entity’s consolidated financial statements after combination. The differencebetween the initial cost of the long-term equity investment and the carrying amount of the long-term investment held prior of control plus book value of additional consideration paid atacquisition date is adjusted into capital reserve (capital premium or share premium). If the capitalreserve is not enough to absorb the difference, any excess shall be adjusted against surplus reserveand undistributed profit in turn.In the consolidated financial statements, the assets and liabilities acquired during the combinationshould be recognized at their carrying amount in the ultimate controlling entity’s consolidatedfinancial statements on the combination date unless any adjustment is resulted from the differencein accounting policies. The difference between the carrying amount of the investment held prior ofcontrol plus book value of additional consideration paid on the acquisition date and the net assetsacquired through the combination is adjusted into capital reserve (capital premium or sharepremium). If the capital reserve is not enough to absorb the difference, any excess shall be adjustedagainst retained earnings.
~ 129 ~
If the acquiring entity holds equity investment in the acquired entity prior to the combination dateand the equity investment is accounted for under the equity method, related profit or loss, othercomprehensive income and other changes in equity which have been recognised during the periodfrom the later of the date of the Company obtaining original equity interest and the date of both theacquirer and the acquiree under common control of the same ultimate controlling party to thecombination date should be offset against the opening balance of retained earnings at thecomparative financial statements period respectively.Business combination not under common control in stages through multiple transactionsOn the consolidation date, in the separate financial statements, the initial cost of long-term equityinvestment is determined according to the carrying amount of the original long-term investmentplus the cost of new investment.In the consolidated financial statements, the equity interest of the acquired entity held prior to theacquisition date shall be re-measured at its fair value on the acquisition date. Difference between thefair value of the equity interest and its book value is recognised as investment income. The othercomprehensive income related to the equity interest held prior to the acquisition date calculatedthrough equity method, should be transferred to current investment income of the acquisitionperiod, excluding other comprehensive income resulted from the remeasurement of the net assets ornet liabilities under defined benefit plan. The Company shall disclose acquisition-date fair value ofthe equity interest held prior to the acquisition date, and the related gains or losses due to theremeasurement based on fair value.(iii) Disposal of investment in subsidiaries without a loss of controlFor partial disposal of the long-term equity investment in the subsidiaries without a loss of control,when the Company prepares consolidated financial statements, difference between considerationreceived from the disposal and the corresponding share of subsidiary’s net assets cumulativelycalculated from the acquisition date or combination date shall be adjusted into capital reserve(capital premium or share premium). If the capital reserve is not enough to absorb the difference,any excess shall be offset against retained earnings.(iv) Disposal of investment in subsidiaries with a loss of controlDisposal through one transactionIf the Company loses control in an investee through partial disposal of the equity investment, whenthe consolidated financial statements are prepared, the retained equity interest should bere-measured at fair value at the date of loss of control. The difference between i) the fair value ofconsideration received from the disposal plus non-controlling interest retained; ii) share of theformer subsidiary’s net assets cumulatively calculated from the acquisition date or combination dateaccording to the original proportion of equity interest, shall be recognised in current investment
~ 130 ~
income when control is lost.Moreover, other comprehensive income and other changes in equity related to the equity investmentin the former subsidiary shall be transferred into current investment income when control is lost,excluding other comprehensive income resulted from the remeasurement of the movement of netassets or net liabilities under defined benefit plan.Disposal in stagesIn the consolidated financial statements, whether the transactions should be accounted for as “asingle transaction” needs to be decided firstly.If the disposal in stages should not be classified as “a single transaction”, in the separate financialstatements, for transactions prior of the date of loss of control, carrying amount of each disposal oflong-term equity investment need to be recognized, and the difference between considerationreceived and the carrying amount of long-term equity investment corresponding to the equityinterest disposed should be recognized in current investment income; in the consolidated financialstatements, the disposal transaction should be accounted for according to related policy in “Disposalof long-term equity investment in subsidiaries without a loss of control”.If the disposal in stages should be classified as “a single transaction”, these transactions should beaccounted for as a single transaction of disposal of subsidiary resulting in loss of control. In theseparate financial statements, for each transaction prior of the date of loss of control, differencebetween consideration received and the carrying amount of long-term equity investmentcorresponding to the equity interest disposed should be recognised as other comprehensive incomefirstly, and transferred to profit or loss as a whole when control is lost; in the consolidated financialstatements, for each transaction prior of the date of loss of control, difference between considerationreceived and proportion of the subsidiary’s net assets corresponding to the equity interest disposedshould be recognised in profit or loss as a whole when control is lost.In considering of the terms and conditions of the transactions as well as their economic impact, thepresence of one or more of the following indicators may lead to account for multiple transactions asa single transaction:
? The transactions are entered into simultaneously or in contemplation of one another.? The transactions form a single transaction designed to achieve an overall commercial effect.? The occurrence of one transaction depends on the occurrence of at least one other transaction.? One transaction, when considered on its own merits, does not make economic sense, but when consideredtogether with the other transaction or transactions would be considered economically justifiable.(v) Diluting equity share of parent company in its subsidiaries due to additional capital

injection by the subsidiaries’ minority shareholders.Other shareholders (minority shareholders) of the subsidiaries inject additional capital in thesubsidiaries, which resulted in the dilution of equity interest of parent company in these subsidiaries.In the consolidated financial statements, difference between share of the corresponding subsidiaries’net assets calculated based on the parent’s equity interest before and after the capital injection shallbe adjusted into capital reserve (capital premium or share premium). If the capital reserve is notenough to absorb the difference, any excess shall be adjusted against retained earnings.
3.8 Classification of Joint Arrangements and Accounting for Joint OperationA joint arrangement is an arrangement of which two or more parties have joint control. Jointarrangement of the Company is classified as either a joint operation or a joint venture.(a) Joint operationA joint operation is a joint arrangement whereby the parties that have joint control of thearrangement have rights to the assets, and obligations for the liabilities, relating to the arrangement.The Company shall recognise the following items in relation to shared interest in a joint operation,and account for them in accordance with relevant accounting standards of the Accounting Standardsfor Business Enterprises:
(i) its assets, including its share of any assets held jointly;(ii) its liabilities, including its share of any liabilities incurred jointly;(iii) its revenue from the sale of its share of the output arising from the joint operation;(iv) its share of the revenue from the sale of the output by the joint operation; and(v) its expenses, including its share of any expenses incurred jointly.(b) Joint ventureA joint venture is a joint arrangement whereby the parties that have joint control of the arrangementhave rights to the net assets of the arrangement.The Company accounts for its investment in the joint venture by applying the equity method oflong-term equity investment.
3.9 Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash comprises cash on hand and deposits that can be readily withdrawn on demand. Cashequivalents include short-term (generally within three months of maturity at acquisition), highlyliquid investments that are readily convertible into known amounts of cash and which are subject toan insignificant risk of changes in value.

3.10 Financial Instruments
Financial instrument is any contract which gives rise to both a financial asset of one entity and afinancial liability or equity instrument of another entity.(a) Recognition and derecognition of financial instrumentA financial asset or a financial liability should be recognised in the statement of financial positionwhen, and only when, an entity becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.A financial asset can only be derecognised when meets one of the following conditions:
(i) The rights to the contractual cash flows from a financial asset expire(ii) The financial asset has been transferred and meets one of the following derecognitionconditions:
Financial liabilities (or part thereof) are derecognised only when the liability is extinguished—i.e.,when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged or cancelled or expires. An exchange ofthe Company (borrower) and lender of debt instruments that carry significantly different terms or asubstantial modification of the terms of an existing liability are both accounted for as anextinguishment of the original financial liability and the recognition of a new financial liability.Purchase or sale of financial assets in a regular-way shall be recognised and derecognised usingtrade date accounting. A regular-way purchase or sale of financial assets is a transaction under acontract whose terms require delivery of the asset within the time frame established generally byregulations or convention in the market place concerned. Trade date is the date at which the entitycommits itself to purchase or sell an asset.(b) Classification and measurement of financial assetsAt initial recognition, the Company classified its financial asset based on both the business modelfor managing the financial asset and the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial asset:
financial asset at amortised cost, financial asset at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL) andfinancial asset at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVTOCI). Reclassification offinancial assets is permitted if, and only if, the objective of the entity’s business model formanaging those financial assets changes. In this circumstance, all affected financial assets shall bereclassified on the first day of the first reporting period after the changes in business model;otherwise the financial assets cannot be reclassified after initial recognition.Financial assets shall be measured at initial recognition at fair value. For financial assets measuredat FVTPL, transaction costs are recognised in current profit or loss. For financial assets notmeasured at FVTPL, transaction costs should be included in the initial measurement. Notesreceivable or accounts receivable that arise from sales of goods or rendering of services are initiallymeasured at the transaction price defined in the accounting standard of revenue where the
~ 133 ~
transaction does not include a significant financing component.Subsequent measurement of financial assets will be based on their categories:
(i)Financial asset at amortised costThe financial asset at amortised cost category of classification applies when both the followingconditions are met: the financial asset is held within the business model whose objective is to holdfinancial assets in order to collect contractual cash flows, and the contractual term of the financialasset gives rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payment of principal and interest onthe principal amount outstanding. These financial assets are subsequently measured at amortisedcost by adopting the effective interest rate method. Any gain or loss arising from derecognitionaccording to the amortisation under effective interest rate method or impairment are recognised incurrent profit or loss.(ii)Financial asset at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVTOCI)The financial asset at FVTOCI category of classification applies when both the followingconditions are met: the financial asset is held within the business model whose objective is achievedby both collecting contractual cash flows and selling financial assets, and the contractual term of thefinancial asset gives rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payment of principle andinterest on the principal amount outstanding. All changes in fair value are recognised in othercomprehensive income except for gain or loss arising from impairment or exchange differences,which should be recognised in current profit or loss. At derecognition, cumulative gain or losspreviously recognised under OCI is reclassified to current profit or loss. However, interest incomecalculated based on the effective interest rate is included in current profit or loss.The Company make an irrevocable decision to designate part of non-trading equity instrumentinvestments as measured through FVTOCI. All changes in fair value are recognised in othercomprehensive income except for dividend income recognised in current profit or loss. Atderecognition, cumulative gain or loss are reclassified to retained earnings.(iii)Financial asset at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL)Financial asset except for above mentioned financial asset at amortised cost or financial asset at fairvalue through other comprehensive income (FVTOCI), should be classified as financial asset at fairvalue through profit or loss (FVTPL). These financial assets should be subsequently measured atfair value. All the changes in fair value are included in current profit or loss.(c) Classification and measurement of financial liabilitiesThe Company classified the financial liabilities as financial liabilities at fair value through profit orloss (FVTPL), loan commitments at a below-market interest rate and financial guarantee contractsand financial asset at amortised cost.Subsequent measurement of financial assets will be based on the classification:
~ 134 ~
(i)Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL)Held-for-trading financial liabilities (including derivatives that are financial liabilities) and financialliabilities designated at FVTPL are classified as financial liabilities at FVTP. After initialrecognition, any gain or loss (including interest expense) are recognised in current profit or lossexcept for those hedge accounting is applied. For financial liability that is designated as at FVTPL,changes in the fair value of the financial liability that is attributable to changes in the own credit riskof the issuer shall be presented in other comprehensive income. At derecognition, cumulative gainor loss previously recognised under OCI is reclassified to retained earnings.(ii)Loan commitments and financial guarantee contractsLoan commitment is a commitment by the Company to provide a loan to customer under specifiedcontract terms. The provision of impairment losses of loan commitments shall be recognised basedon expected credit losses model.Financial guarantee contract is a contract that requires the Company to make specified payments toreimburse the holder for a loss it incurs because a specified debtor fails to make payment when duein accordance with the original or modified terms of a debt instrument. Financial guaranteecontracts liability shall be subsequently measured at the higher of: The amount of the lossallowance recognised according to the impairment principles of financial instruments; and theamount initially recognised less the cumulative amount of income recognised in accordance withthe revenue principles.(iii)Financial liabilities at amortised costAfter initial recognition, the Company measured other financial liabilities at amortised cost usingthe effective interest method.Except for special situation, financial liabilities and equity instrument should be classified inaccordance with the following principles:
(i) If the Company has no unconditional right to avoid delivering cash or another financial
instrument to fulfill a contractual obligation, this contractual obligation meet the definition of
financial liabilities. Some financial instruments do not comprise terms and conditions related
to obligations of delivering cash or another financial instrument explicitly, they may include
contractual obligation indirectly through other terms and conditions.(ii) If a financial instrument must or may be settled in the Company's own equity instruments, itshould be considered that the Company’s own equity instruments are alternatives of cash or anotherfinancial instrument, or to entitle the holder of the equity instruments to sharing the remaining rightsover the net assets of the issuer. If the former is the case, the instrument is a liability of the issuer;otherwise, it is an equity instrument of the issuer. Under some circumstances, it is regulated in thecontract that the financial instrument must or may be settled in the Company's own equity
~ 135 ~
instruments, where, amount of contractual rights and obligations are calculated by multiplying thenumber of the equity instruments to be available or delivered by its fair value upon settlement. Suchcontracts shall be classified as financial liabilities, regardless that the amount of contractual rightsand liabilities is fixed, or fluctuate totally or partially with variables other than market price of theentity’s own equity instruments (such as interest rate, price of some kind of goods or some kind offinancial instrument).(d) Derivatives and embedded derivativesAt initial recognition, derivatives shall be measured at fair value at the date of derivative contractsare signed and subsequently measured at fair value. The derivative with a positive fair value shall berecognized as an asset, and with a negative fair value shall be recognised as a liability.Gains or losses arising from the changes in fair value of derivatives shall be recognised directly intocurrent profit or loss except for the effective portion of cash flow hedges which shall be recognisedin other comprehensive income and reclassified into current profit or loss when the hedged itemsaffect profit or loss.An embedded derivative is a component of a hybrid contract with a financial asset as a host, theCompany shall apply the requirements of financial asset classification to the entire hybrid contract.If a host that is not a financial asset and the hybrid contract is not measured at fair value withchanges in fair value recognised in profit or loss, and the economic characteristics and risks of theembedded derivative are not closely related to the economic characteristics and risks of the host,and a separate instrument with the same terms as the embedded derivative would meet thedefinition of a derivative, the embedded derivative shall be separated from the hybrid instrumentand accounted for as a separate derivative instrument. If the Company is unable to measure the fairvalue of the embedded derivative at the acquisition date or subsequently at the balance sheet date,the entire hybrid contract is designated as financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value throughprofit or loss.(e) Impairment of financial instrumentThe Company shall recognise a loss allowance based on expected credit losses on a financial assetthat is measured at amortised cost, a debt investment at fair value through other comprehensiveincome, a contract asset, a lease receivable, a loan commitment and a financial guarantee contract.(i) Measurement of expected credit lossesExpected credit losses are the weighted average of credit losses of the financial instruments with therespective risks of a default occurring as the weights. Credit loss is the difference between allcontractual cash flows that are due to the Company in accordance with the contract and all the cashflows that the Company expects to receive (ie all cash shortfalls), discounted at the originaleffective interest rate or credit- adjusted effective interest rate for purchased or originatedcredit-impaired financial assets.
~ 136 ~
Lifetime expected credit losses are the expected credit losses that result from all possible defaultevents over the expected life of a financial instrument.12-month expected credit losses are the portion of lifetime expected credit losses that represent theexpected credit losses that result from default events on a financial instrument that are possiblewithin the 12 months after the reporting date (or the expected lifetime, if the expected life of afinancial instrument is less than 12 months).At each reporting date, the Company classifies financial instruments into three stages and makesprovisions for expected credit losses accordingly. A financial instrument of which the credit risk hasnot significantly increased since initial recognition is at stage 1. The Company shall measure theloss allowance for that financial instrument at an amount equal to 12-month expected credit losses.A financial instrument with a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition but is notconsidered to be credit-impaired is at stage 2. The Company shall measure the loss allowance forthat financial instrument at an amount equal to the lifetime expected credit losses. A financialinstrument is considered to be credit-impaired as at the end of the reporting period is at stage 3. TheCompany shall measure the loss allowance for that financial instrument at an amount equal to thelifetime expected credit losses.The Company may assume that the credit risk on a financial instrument has not increasedsignificantly since initial recognition if the financial instrument is determined to have low credit riskat the reporting date and measure the loss allowance for that financial instrument at an amount equalto 12-month expected credit losses.For financial instrument at stage 1, stage 2 and those have low credit risk, the interest revenue shallbe calculated by applying the effective interest rate to the gross carrying amount of a financial asset(ie, impairment loss not been deducted). For financial instrument at stage 3, interest revenue shallbe calculated by applying the effective interest rate to the amortised cost after deducting ofimpairment loss.For notes receivable, accounts receivable and accounts receivable financing, no matter it contains asignificant financing component or not, the Company shall measure the loss allowance at an amountequal to the lifetime expected credit losses.Receivables/Contract assetsFor the notes receivable, accounts receivable, other receivables, accounts receivable financing andlong-term receivables which are demonstrated to be impaired by any objective evidence, orapplicable for individual assessment, the Company shall individually assess for impairment andrecognise the loss allowance for expected credit losses. If the Company determines that no objectiveevidence of impairment exists for notes receivable, accounts receivable, other receivables, accountsreceivable financing and long-term receivables, or the expected credit loss of a single financial assetcannot be assessed at reasonable cost, such notes receivable, accounts receivable, other receivables,
~ 137 ~
accounts receivable financing and long-term receivables shall be divided into several groups withsimilar credit risk characteristics and collectively calculated the expected credit loss. Thedetermination basis of groups is as following:
Determination basis of notes receivable is as following:
Group 1: Commercial acceptance billsGroup 2: Bank acceptance billsFor each group, the Company calculates expected credit losses through default exposure and thelifetime expected credit losses rate, taking reference to historical experience for credit losses andconsidering current condition and expectation for the future economic situation.Determination basis of accounts receivable is as following:
Group 1: Related parties within the scope of consolidationGroup 2: Receivables due from third partiesFor each group, the Company calculates expected credit losses through preparing an aging analysisschedule with the lifetime expected credit losses rate, taking reference to historical experience forcredit losses and considering current condition and expectation for the future economic situation.Determination basis of other receivables is as following:
Group 1: Related parties within the scope of consolidationGroup 2: Receivables due from third partiesFor each group, the Company calculates expected credit losses through default exposure and the12-months or lifetime expected credit losses rate, taking reference to historical experience for creditlosses and considering current condition and expectation for the future economic situation.Determination basis of accounts receivable financing is as following:
Group 1: Commercial acceptance billsGroup 2: Bank acceptance billsFor each group, the Company calculates expected credit losses through default exposure and thelifetime expected credit losses rate, taking reference to historical experience for credit losses andconsidering current condition and expectation for the future economic situation.Determination basis of contract assets is as following:
Group 1: Project constructionGroup 2: Undue warrantyFor each group, the Company calculates expected credit losses through default exposure and thelifetime expected credit losses rate, taking reference to historical experience for credit losses and
~ 138 ~
considering current condition and expectation for the future economic situation.Determination basis of long-term receivables financing is as following:
Group 1: Project receivables, Lease receivablesGroup 2: OthersFor group 1, the Company calculates expected credit losses through default exposure and thelifetime expected credit losses rate, taking reference to historical experience for credit losses andconsidering current condition and expectation for the future economic situation.For group 2, the Company calculates expected credit losses through default exposure and the12-months or lifetime expected credit losses rate, taking reference to historical experience for creditlosses and considering current condition and expectation for the future economic situation.The Company's aging calculation method of credit risk characteristic combination based on aging isas follows:
| Aging | Accounts receivable Provision ratio | Other receivables provision ratio |
| Within 6 months | 1% | 1% |
| 7 months to 1 years | 5% | 5% |
| 1-2 years | 10% | 10% |
| 2-3 years | 50% | 50% |
| Over 3 years | 100% | 100% |
Debt investment and other debt investmentFor debt investment and other debt investment, the Company shall calculate the expected credit lossthrough the default exposure and the 12-month or lifetime expected credit loss rate based on thenature of the investment, counterparty and the type of risk exposure.(ii) Low credit riskIf the financial instrument has a low risk of default, the borrower has a strong capacity to meet itscontractual cash flow obligations in the near term and adverse changes in economic and businessconditions in the longer term may, but will not necessarily, reduce the ability of the borrower tofulfill its contractual cash flow obligations.(iii) Significant increase in credit riskThe Company shall assess whether the credit risk on a financial instrument has increasedsignificantly since initial recognition, using the change in the risk of a default occurring over theexpected life of the financial instrument, through the comparison of the risk of a default occurringon the financial instrument as at the reporting date with the risk of a default occurring on thefinancial instrument as at the date of initial recognition.
~ 139 ~
To make that assessment, the Company shall consider reasonable and supportable information, thatis available without undue cost or effort, and that is indicative of significant increases in credit risksince initial recognition, including forward-looking information. The information considered by theCompany are as following:
? Significant changes in internal price indicators of credit risk as a result of a change in credit risk sinceinception? Existing or forecast adverse change in the business, financial or economic conditions of the borrower thatresults in a significant change in the borrower’s ability to meet its debt obligations；? An actual or expected significant change in the operating results of the borrower; An actual or expected
significant adverse change in the regulatory, economic, or technological environment of the borrower；? Significant changes in the value of the collateral supporting the obligation or in the quality of third-party
guarantees or credit enhancements, which are expected to reduce the borrower’s economic incentive to make
scheduled contractual payments or to otherwise influence the probability of a default occurring;? Significant change that are expected to reduce the borrower’s economic incentive to make scheduled
contractual payments;? Expected changes in the loan documentation including an expected breach of contract that may lead to
covenant waivers or amendments, interest payment holidays, interest rate step-ups, requiring additional
collateral or guarantees, or other changes to the contractual framework of the instrument；? Significant changes in the expected performance and behavior of the borrower；? Contractual payments are more than 30 days past due.
Depending on the nature of the financial instruments, the Company shall assess whether the creditrisk has increased significantly since initial recognition on an individual financial instrument or agroup of financial instruments. When assessed based on a group of financial instruments, theCompany can group financial instruments on the basis of shared credit risk characteristics, forexample, past due information and credit risk rating.Generally, the Company shall determine the credit risk on a financial asset has increasedsignificantly since initial recognition when contractual payments are more than 30 days past due.The Company can only rebut this presumption if the Company has reasonable and supportableinformation that is available without undue cost or effort, that demonstrates that the credit risk hasnot increased significantly since initial recognition even though the contractual payments are morethan 30 days past due.(iv) Credit-impaired financial assetThe Company shall assess at each reporting date whether the credit impairment has occurred for
~ 140 ~
financial asset at amortised cost and debt investment at fair value through other comprehensiveincome. A financial asset is credit-impaired when one or more events that have a detrimental impacton the estimated future cash flows of that financial asset have occurred. Evidences that a financialasset is credit-impaired include observable data about the following events:
Significant financial difficulty of the issuer or the borrower；a breach of contract, such as a defaultor past due event; the lender(s) of the borrower, for economic or contractual reasons relating to theborrower’s financial difficulty, having granted to the borrower a concession(s) that the lender(s)would not otherwise consider；it is becoming probable that the borrower will enter bankruptcy orother financial reorganisation;the disappearance of an active market for that financial asset becauseof financial difficulties；the purchase or origination of a financial asset at a deep discount thatreflects the incurred credit losses.(v) Presentation of impairment of expected credit lossIn order to reflect the changes of credit risk of financial instrument since initial recognition, theCompany shall at each reporting date remeasure the expected credit loss and recognise in profit orloss, as an impairment gain or loss, the amount of expected credit losses addition (or reversal). Forfinancial asset at amortised cost, the loss allowance shall reduce the carrying amount of the financialasset in the statement of financial position; for debt investment at fair value through othercomprehensive income, the loss allowance shall be recognised in other comprehensive income andshall not reduce the carrying amount of the financial asset in the statement of financial position.(vi) Write-offThe Company shall directly reduce the gross carrying amount of a financial asset when theCompany has no reasonable expectations of recovering the contractual cash flow of a financial assetin its entirety or a portion thereof. Such write-off constitutes a derecognition of the financial asset.This circumstance usually occurs when the Company determines that the debtor has no assets orsources of income that could generate sufficient cash flow to repay the write-off amount.Recovery of financial asset written off shall be recognised in profit or loss as reversal of impairmentloss.(f) Transfer of financial assetsTransfer of financial assets refers to following two situations:
? Transfers the contractual rights to receive the cash flows of the financial asset;? Transfers the entire or a part of a financial asset and retains the contractual rights to receive the cash flows ofthe financial asset, but assumes a contractual obligation to pay the cash flows to one or more recipients.(i) Derecognition of transferred assetsIf the Company transfers substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset,
~ 141 ~
or neither transfers nor retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financialasset but has not retained control of the financial asset, the financial asset shall be derecognised.Whether the Company has retained control of the transferred asset depends on the transferee’sability to sell the asset. If the transferee has the practical ability to sell the asset in its entirety to anunrelated third party and is able to exercise that ability unilaterally and without needing to imposeadditional restrictions on the transfer, the Company has not retained control.The Company judges whether the transfer of financial asset qualifies for derecognition based on thesubstance of the transfer.If the transfer of financial asset qualifies for derecognition in its entirety, the difference between thefollowing shall be recognised in profit or loss:
? The carrying amount of transferred financial asset;? The sum of consideration received and the part derecognised of the cumulative changes in fair valuepreviously recognised in other comprehensive income (The financial assets involved in the transfer areclassified as financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income in accordance with Article 18of the Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises - Recognition and Measurement of FinancialInstruments).If the transferred asset is a part of a larger financial asset and the part transferred qualifies forderecognition, the previous carrying amount of the larger financial asset shall be allocated betweenthe part that continues to be recognised (For this purpose, a retained servicing asset shall be treatedas a part that continues to be recognised) and the part that is derecognised, based on the relative fairvalues of those parts on the date of the transfer. The difference between following two amounts shallbe recognised in profit or loss:
? The carrying amount (measured at the date of derecognition) allocated to the part derecognised；? The sum of the consideration received for the part derecognised and part derecognised of the cumulativechanges in fair value previously recognised in other comprehensive income (The financial assets involved inthe transfer are classified as financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income in accordancewith Article 18 of the Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises - Recognition and Measurement ofFinancial Instruments).(ii) Continuing involvement in transferred assetsIf the Company neither transfers nor retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of atransferred asset, and retains control of the transferred asset, the Company shall continue torecognise the transferred asset to the extent of its continuing involvement and also recognise anassociated liability.The extent of the Company’s continuing involvement in the transferred asset is the extent to which
~ 142 ~
it is exposed to changes in the value of the transferred asset(iii) Continue to recognise the transferred assetsIf the Company retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the transferredfinancial asset, the Company shall continue to recognise the transferred asset in its entirety and theconsideration received shall be recognised as a financial liability.The financial asset and the associated financial liability shall not be offset. In subsequentaccounting period, the Company shall continuously recognise any income (gain) arising from thetransferred asset and any expense (loss) incurred on the associated liability.(g) Offsetting financial assets and financial liabilitiesFinancial assets and financial liabilities shall be presented separately in the statement of financialposition and shall not be offset. When meets the following conditions, financial assets and financialliabilities shall be offset and the net amount presented in the statement of financial position:
The Company currently has a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts; TheCompany intends either to settle on a net basis, or to realise the asset and settle the liabilitysimultaneously.In accounting for a transfer of a financial asset that does not qualify for derecognition, the Companyshall not offset the transferred asset and the associated liability.(h) Determination of fair value of financial instrumentsDetermination of fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities please refer to Note 3.11.
3.11 Fair Value Measurement
Fair value refers to the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability inan orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.The Company determines fair value of the related assets and liabilities based on market value in theprincipal market, or in the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market price forthe related asset or liability. The fair value of an asset or a liability is measured using theassumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, assuming thatmarket participants act in their economic best interest.The principal market is the market in which transactions for an asset or liability take place with thegreatest volume and frequency. The most advantageous market is the market which maximizes thevalue that could be received from selling the asset and minimizes the value which is needed to bepaid in order to transfer a liability, considering the effect of transport costs and transaction costsboth.If the active market of the financial asset or financial liability exists, the Company shall measure the
~ 143 ~
fair value using the quoted price in the active market. If the active market of the financialinstrument is not available, the Company shall measure the fair value using valuation techniques.A fair value measurement of a non-financial asset takes into account a market participant’s abilityto generate economic benefits by using the asset in its highest and best use or by selling it to anothermarket participant that would use the asset in its highest and best use.(i) Valuation techniquesThe Company uses valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for whichsufficient data are available to measure fair value, including the market approach, the incomeapproach and the cost approach. The Company shall use valuation techniques consistent with one ormore of those approaches to measure fair value. If multiple valuation techniques are used tomeasure fair value, the results shall be evaluated considering the reasonableness of the range ofvalues indicated by those results. A fair value measurement is the point within that range that ismost representative of fair value in the circumstances.When using the valuation technique, the Company shall give the priority to relevant observableinputs. The unobservable inputs can only be used when relevant observable inputs is not availableor practically would not be obtained. Observable inputs refer to the information which is availablefrom market and reflects the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the assetor liability. Unobservable Inputs refer to the information which is not available from market and ithas to be developed using the best information available in the circumstances from the assumptionsthat market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability.(ii) Fair value hierarchyTo Company establishes a fair value hierarchy that categorises into three levels the inputs tovaluation techniques used to measure fair value. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priorityto Level 1 inputs and second to the Level 2 inputs and the lowest priority to Level 3 inputs. Level 1inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that theentity can access at the measurement date. Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted pricesincluded within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.
3.12 Inventories
(a) Classification of inventoriesInventories are finished goods or products held for sale in the ordinary course of business, in theprocess of production for such sale, or in the form of materials or supplies to be consumed in theproduction process or in the rendering of services, including raw materials, work in progress,semi-finished goods, finished goods, goods in stock, turnover material, etc.
~ 144 ~
(b) Measurement method of cost of inventories sold or usedInventories are measured at actual cost at recognition. The actual cost of an item of inventoriescomprises the purchase cost, cost of processing and other costs. The cost of inventories used or soldis determined on the weighted average basis.(c) Inventory systemThe perpetual inventory system is adopted. The inventories should be counted at least once a year,and surplus or losses of inventory stocktaking shall be included in current profit and loss.(d) Recognition Criteria and Provision for impairment of inventoryInventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value. The excess of cost over netrealizable value of the inventories is recognised as provision for impairment of inventory, andrecognised in current profit or loss.Net realizable value of the inventory should be determined on the basis of reliable evidenceobtained, and factors such as purpose of holding the inventory and impact of post balance sheetevent shall be considered.(i) In normal operation process, finished goods, products and materials for direct sale, their netrealizable values are determined at estimated selling prices less estimated selling expenses andrelevant taxes and surcharges; for inventories held to execute sales contract or service contract, theirnet realizable values are calculated on the basis of contract price. If the quantities of inventoriesspecified in sales contracts are less than the quantities held by the Company, the net realizable valueof the excess portion of inventories shall be based on general selling prices. Net realizable value ofmaterials held for sale shall be measured based on market price.(ii) For materials in stock need to be processed, in the ordinary course of production and business,net realisable value is determined at the estimated selling price less the estimated costs ofcompletion, the estimated selling expenses and relevant taxes. If the net realisable value of thefinished products produced by such materials is higher than the cost, the materials shall bemeasured at cost; if a decline in the price of materials indicates that the cost of the finished productsexceeds its net realisable value, the materials are measured at net realisable value and differencesshall be recognised at the provision for impairment.(iii) Provisions for inventory impairment are generally determined on an individual basis. Forinventories with large quantity and low unit price, the provisions for inventory impairment aredetermined on group basis.(iv) If any factor rendering write-downs of the inventories has been eliminated at the reportingdate, the amounts written down are recovered and reversed to the extent of the inventoryimpairment, which has been provided for. The reversal shall be included in profit or loss.
~ 145 ~
(e) Amortisation method of low-value consumablesLow-value consumables: One-off writing off method is adopted.Package material: One-off writing off method is adopted.
3.13 Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities
The Company shall present contract assets or contract liabilities in the statement of financialposition, depending on the relationship between the Company’s satisfying a performance obligationand the customer’s payment. A contract asset shall be presented if the Company has the right toconsideration in exchange for goods or services that the Company has transferred to a customerwhen that right is conditioned on something other than the passage of time. A contract liability shallbe presented if the Company has the obligation to transfer goods or services to a customer for whichthe Company has received consideration (or the amount is due) from the customer.Method of determination and accounting for expected credit loss for contract assets please refer toNote 3.10.Contract assets and contract liabilities shall be presented separately in the statement of financialposition. The contract asset and contract liability for the same contract shall be presented on a netbasis. A net balance shall be listed in the item of "Contract assets" or "Other non-current assets"according to its liquidity; a credit balance shall be listed in the item of "Contract liabilities" or"Other non-current liabilities" according to its liquidity. Contract assets and contract liabilities fordifferent contracts cannot be offset.
3.14 Contract costs
Contract costs include costs to fulfill a contract and the costs to obtain a contract.The Company shall recognise an asset from the costs incurred to fulfill a contract only if those costsmeet all of the following criteria:
(i) The costs relate directly to a contract or to an anticipated contract, including: direct labour,direct materials, manufacturing costs (or similar costs), costs that are explicitly chargeable to thecustomer under the contract and other costs that are incurred only because an entity entered into thecontract;(ii) The costs enhance resources of the Company that will be used in satisfying performanceobligations in the future; and(iii) The costs are expected to be recovered.The incremental costs of obtaining a contract shall be recognised as an asset if the Company expectsto recover them.
~ 146 ~
An asset related to contract costs shall be amortised on a systematic basis that is consistent with therevenue recognition of the goods or services to which the asset relates. The Company recognises thecontract acquisition costs as an expense when incurred if the amortisation period of the asset thatthe Company otherwise would have recognised is one year or less.The Company shall accrue the provision for impairment, recognise an impairment loss in profit orloss to the extent that the carrying amount of an asset related to the contract cost exceeds thedifference of below two items, and further consider whether the estimated liability related to theonerous contract needs to be accrued:
(i) The remaining amount of consideration that the Company expects to receive in exchange for thegoods or services to which the asset relates; less(ii) The costs that relate directly to providing those goods or services and that have not beenrecognised as expenses.The Company shall recognise in profit or loss a reversal of some or all of an impairment losspreviously recognised when the impairment conditions no longer exist or have improved. Theincreased carrying amount of the asset shall not exceed the amount that would have beendetermined (net of amortisation) if no impairment loss had been recognised previously.Providing that the costs to fulfil a contract satisfy the requirement to be recognised as an asset, theCompany shall present them in the account “Inventory” if the contract has an original expectedduration of one year (or a normal operating cycle) or less, or in the account “Other non-currentassets” if the contract has an original expected duration of more than one year (or a normaloperating cycle).Providing that the costs to obtain a contract satisfy the requirement to be recgonised as an asset, theCompany shall present them in the account “Other current asset” if the contract has an originalexpected duration of one year (or a normal operating cycle) or less, or in the account “Othernon-current assets” if the contract has an original expected duration of more than one year (or anormal operating cycle).
3.15 Long-term Equity Investments
Long-term equity investments refer to equity investments where an investor has control of, orsignificant influence over, an investee, as well as equity investments in joint ventures. Associates ofthe Company are those entities over which the Company has significant influence.(a) Determination basis of joint control or significant influence over the investeeJoint control is the relevant agreed sharing of control over an arrangement, and the arrangedrelevant activity must be decided under unanimous consent of the parties sharing control. In
~ 147 ~
assessing whether the Company has joint control of an arrangement, the Company shall assess firstwhether all the parties, or a group of the parties, control the arrangement. When all the parties, or agroup of the parties, considered collectively, are able to direct the activities of the arrangement, theparties control the arrangement collectively. Then the Company shall assess whether decisionsabout the relevant activities require the unanimous consent of the parties that collectively controlthe arrangement. If two or more groups of the parties could control the arrangement collectively, itshall not be assessed as have joint control of the arrangement. When assessing the joint control, theprotective rights are not considered.Significant influence is the power to participate in the financial and operating policy decisions ofthe investee but is not control or joint control of those policies. In determination of significantinfluence over an investee, the Company should consider not only the existing voting rights directlyor indirectly held but also the effect of potential voting rights held by the Company and otherentities that could be currently exercised or converted, including the effect of share warrants, shareoptions and convertible corporate bonds that issued by the investee and could be converted incurrent period.If the Company holds, directly or indirectly 20% or more but less than 50% of the voting power ofthe investee, it is presumed that the Company has significant influence of the investee, unless it canbe clearly demonstrated that in such circumstance, the Company cannot participate in thedecision-making in the production and operating of the investee.(b) Determination of initial investment cost(i) Long-term equity investments generated in business combinationsFor a business combination involving enterprises under common control, if the Company makespayment in cash, transfers non-cash assets or bears liabilities as the consideration for the businesscombination, the share of carrying amount of the owners’ equity of the acquiree in the consolidatedfinancial statements of the ultimate controlling party is recognised as the initial cost of thelong-term equity investment on the combination date. The difference between the initial investmentcost and the carrying amount of cash paid, non-cash assets transferred and liabilities assumed shallbe adjusted against the capital reserve; if capital reserve is not enough to be offset, undistributedprofit shall be offset in turn.For a business combination involving enterprises under common control, if the Company issuesequity securities as the consideration for the business combination, the share of carrying amount ofthe owners’ equity of the acquiree in the consolidated financial statements of the ultimatecontrolling party is recognised as the initial cost of the long-term equity investment on thecombination date. The total par value of the shares issued is recognised as the share capital. Thedifference between the initial investment cost and the carrying amount of the total par value of theshares issued shall be adjusted against the capital reserve; if capital reserve is not enough to be
~ 148 ~
offset, undistributed profit shall be offset in turn.For business combination not under common control, the assets paid, liabilities incurred or assumedand the fair value of equity securities issued to obtain the control of the acquiree at the acquisitiondate shall be determined as the cost of the business combination and recognised as the initial cost ofthe long-term equity investment. The audit, legal, valuation and advisory fees, other intermediaryfees, and other relevant general administrative costs incurred for the business combination, shall berecognised in profit or loss as incurred.(ii) Long-term equity investments acquired not through the business combination, the investmentcost shall be determined based on the following requirements:
For long-term equity investments acquired by payments in cash, the initial cost is the actually paidpurchase cost, including the expenses, taxes and other necessary expenditures directly related to theacquisition of long-term equity investments.For long-term equity investments acquired through issuance of equity securities, the initial cost isthe fair value of the issued equity securities.For the long-term equity investments obtained through exchange of non-monetary assets, if theexchange has commercial substance, and the fair values of assets traded out and traded in can bemeasured reliably, the initial cost of long-term equity investment traded in with non-monetaryassets are determined based on the fair values of the assets traded out together with relevant taxes.Difference between fair value and book value of the assets traded out is recorded in current profit orloss. If the exchange of non-monetary assets does not meet the above criterion, the book value ofthe assets traded out and relevant taxes are recognised as the initial investment cost.For long-term equity investment acquired through debt restructuring, the initial cost is determinedbased on the fair value of the equity obtained and the difference between initial investment cost andcarrying amount of debts shall be recorded in current profit or loss.(c) Subsequent measurement and recognition of profit or lossLong-term equity investment to an entity over which the Company has ability of control shall beaccounted for at cost method. Long-term equity investment to a joint venture or an associate shallbe accounted for at equity method.(i) Cost methodFor Long-term equity investment at cost method, cost of the long-term equity investment shall beadjusted when additional amount is invested or a part of it is withdrawn. The Company recognisesits share of cash dividends or profits which have been declared to distribute by the investee ascurrent investment income.(ii) Equity method
~ 149 ~
If the initial cost of the investment is in excess of the share of the fair value of the net identifiableassets in the investee at the date of investment, the difference shall not be adjusted to the initial costof long-term equity investment; if the initial cost of the investment is in short of the share of the fairvalue of the net identifiable assets in the investee at the date investment, the difference shall beincluded in the current profit or loss and the initial cost of the long-term equity investment shall beadjusted accordingly.The Company recognises the share of the investee’s net profits or losses, as well as its share of theinvestee’s other comprehensive income, as investment income or losses and other comprehensiveincome respectively, and adjusts the carrying amount of the investment accordingly. The carryingamount of the investment shall be reduced by the share of any profit or cash dividends declared todistribute by the investee. The investor’s share of the investee’s owners’ equity changes, other thanthose arising from the investee’s net profit or loss, other comprehensive income or profitdistribution, shall be recognised in the investor’s equity, and the carrying amount of the long-termequity investment shall be adjusted accordingly. The Company recognises its share of the investee’snet profits or losses after making appropriate adjustments of investee’s net profit based on the fairvalues of the investee’s identifiable net assets at the investment date. If the accounting policy andaccounting period adopted by the investee is not in consistency with the Company, the financialstatements of the investee shall be adjusted according to the Company’s accounting policies andaccounting period, based on which, investment income or loss and other comprehensive income,etc., shall be adjusted. The unrealized profits or losses resulting from inter-company transactionsbetween the company and its associate or joint venture are eliminated in proportion to thecompany’s equity interest in the investee, based on which investment income or losses shall berecognised. Any losses resulting from inter-company transactions between the investor and theinvestee, which belong to asset impairment, shall be recognised in full.Where the Company obtains the power of joint control or significant influence, but not control, overthe investee, due to additional investment or other reason, the relevant long-term equity investmentshall be accounted for by using the equity method, initial cost of which shall be the fair value of theoriginal investment plus the additional investment. Where the original investment is classified asother equity investment, difference between its fair value and the carrying value, in addition to thecumulative changes in fair value previously recorded in other comprehensive income, shall berecogised into retained earnings of the period of using equity method.If the Company loses the joint control or significant influence of the investee for some reasons suchas disposal of equity investment, the retained interest shall be measured at fair value and thedifference between the carrying amount and the fair value at the date of loss the joint control orsignificant influence shall be recognised in profit or loss. When the Company discontinues the useof the equity method, the Company shall account for all amounts previously recognised in othercomprehensive income under equity method in relation to that investment on the same basis as
~ 150 ~
would have been required if the investee had directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities.(d) Equity investment classified as held for saleAny retained interest in the equity investment not classified as held for sale, shall be accounted forusing equity method.When an equity investment in an associate or a joint venture previously classified as held for saleno longer meets the criteria to be so classified, it shall be accounted for using the equity methodretrospectively as from the date of its classification as held for sale. Financial statements for theperiods since classification as held for sale shall be amended accordingly.(f) Impairment testing and provision for impairment lossFor investment in subsidiaries, associates or a joint ventures, provision for impairment loss pleaserefer to Note 3.22.
3.16 Investment Properties
(a) Classification of investment propertiesInvestment properties are properties to earn rentals or for capital appreciation or both, including:
(i) Land use right leased out(ii) Land held for transfer upon appreciation(iii) Buildings leased out(b) The measurement model of investment propertyThe Company adopts the cost model for subsequent measurement of investment properties. Forprovision for impairment please refer to Note 3.22.The Company calculates the depreciation or amortisation based on the net amount of investmentproperty cost less the accumulated impairment and the net residual value using straight-line method.The estimated useful life and annual depreciation rates which are determined according to thecategories, estimated economic useful lives and estimated net residual rates are listed as followings:
| Category | Estimated useful life (year) | Residual rates (%) | Annual depreciation rates (%) |
| Buildings and constructions | 10.00-30.00 | 3.00-5.00 | 3.17-9.70 |
| Land use right | 40.00-50.00 | 0.00 | 2.00-2.50 |
3.17 Fixed Assets
Fixed assets refer to the tangible assets with higher unit price held for the purpose of producingcommodities, rendering services, renting or business management with useful lives exceeding oneyear.(a) Recognition criteria of fixed assets
~ 151 ~
Fixed assets will only be recognised at the actual cost paid when obtaining as all the followingcriteria are satisfied:
(i) It is probable that the economic benefits relating to the fixed assets will flow into the Company;(ii) The costs of the fixed assets can be measured reliably.Subsequent expenditure for fixed assets shall be recorded in cost of fixed assets, if recognitioncriteria of fixed assets are satisfied, otherwise the expenditure shall be recorded in current profit orloss when incurred.(b) Depreciation methods of fixed assetsThe Company begins to depreciate the fixed asset from the next month after it is available forintended use using the straight-line-method. The estimated useful life and annual depreciation rateswhich are determined according to the categories, estimated economic useful lives and estimatednet residual rates of fixed assets are listed as followings:
| Category | Depreciation method | Estimated useful life (year) | Residual rates (%) | Annual depreciation rates (%) |
| Buildings and constructions | straight-line-method | 8.00-35.00 | 3.00-5.00 | 2.71-12.13 |
| Machinery equipment | straight-line-method | 8.00-10.00 | 3.00-5.00 | 9.50-12.13 |
| Transportation vehicles | straight-line-method | 4.00 | 3.00 | 24.25 |
| Administrative and other devices | straight-line-method | 3.00 | 3.00 | 32.33 |
For the fixed assets with impairment provided, the impairment provision should be excluded fromthe cost when calculating depreciation.At the end of reporting period, the Company shall review the useful life, estimated net residualvalue and depreciation method of the fixed assets. Estimated useful life of the fixed assets shall beadjusted if it is changed compared to the original estimation.
3.18 Construction in Progress
(a) Classification of construction in progressConstruction in progress is measured on an individual project basis.(b) Recognition criteria and timing of transfer from construction in progress to fixed assetsThe initial book values of the fixed assets are stated at total expenditures incurred before they areready for their intended use, including construction costs, original price of machinery equipment,other necessary expenses incurred to bring the construction in progress to get ready for its intendeduse and borrowing costs of the specific loan for the construction or the proportion of the generalloan used for the constructions incurred before they are ready for their intended use. The
~ 152 ~
construction in progress shall be transferred to fixed asset when the installation or construction isready for the intended use. For construction in progress that has been ready for their intended usebut relevant budgets for the completion of projects have not been completed, the estimated values ofproject budgets, prices, or actual costs should be included in the costs of relevant fixed assets, anddepreciation should be provided according to relevant policies of the Company when the fixedassets are ready for intended use. After the completion of budgets needed for the completion ofprojects, the estimated values should be substituted by actual costs, but depreciation alreadyprovided is not adjusted.The specific criteria and timing of transfer to fixed assets for the Company’s different categories ofconstruction in progress items:
| category | The specific criteria and timing of transfer to fixed assets |
| Houses and buildings | (i) The main construction project and supporting projects have been substantially completed; (ii) After the construction project meets the predetermined design requirements, it shall be inspected and accepted by the survey, design, construction, supervision and other units, and inspected and accepted by the local construction authorities and other relevant units; (iii) If the construction project has reached the predetermined serviceability state but has not yet completed the final accounts, it shall be transferred to the fixed assets at the estimated value according to the actual cost of the project from the date of reaching the predetermined serviceability state. |
| Equipment to be installed and debugged | (i) Relevant equipment and other supporting facilities have been installed; (ii) After debugging, the equipment can maintain normal and stable operation for a period of time, and the production equipment can produce qualified products stably in a period of time; (iii) The equipment management department shall conduct joint inspection with the asset use department, safety management Department, emergency Department, environmental Protection Department and other departments. |
3.19 Right-of-use assets
At the lease commencement date, a right-of-use asset is measured at cost. The cost of a right-of-useasset comprise:
(i) The amount of the initial measurement of the lease liability;(ii) Any lease payments made at or before the commencement date, less any lease incentivesreceived;(iii) Any initial direct costs incurred by the Group; and
~ 153 ~
(iv) An estimate of costs to be incurred by the Group in dismantling and removing the underlyingasset, restoring the site on which it is located or restoring the underlying asset to the conditionrequired by the terms and conditions of the lease, unless those costs are incurred to produceinventories.A right-of-use asset is subsequently measured at cost. If it is reasonably certain that ownership ofthe lease item will transfer to the Group upon expiry of the lease, the leased item is depreciated overits useful life; if, however, transfer of ownership of the leased item upon expiry of the lease to theGroup cannot be reasonably expected, the leased item is depreciated over the shorter of its usefullife and the lease term. Where a leased item has recorded impairment, its residual value afterdeducting the impairment allowance is depreciated in accordance the principle described in thisparagraph.
3.20 Borrowing costs
(a) Recognition criteria and period for capitalization of borrowing costsThe Company shall capitalize the borrowing costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition,construction or production of qualifying assets when meet the following conditions:
(i) Expenditures for the asset are being incurred;(ii) Borrowing costs are being incurred, and;(iii) Acquisition, construction or production activities that are necessary to prepare the assets fortheir intended use or sale are in progress.Other borrowing cost, discounts or premiums on borrowings and exchange differences on foreigncurrency borrowings shall be recognized into current profit or loss when incurred.Capitalization of borrowing costs is suspended during periods in which the acquisition, constructionor production of a qualifying asset is interrupted abnormally and the interruption is for a continuousperiod of more than 3 months.Capitalization of such borrowing costs ceases when the qualifying assets being acquired,constructed or produced become ready for their intended use or sale. The expenditure incurredsubsequently shall be recognised as expenses when incurred.(b) Capitalization rate and measurement of capitalized amounts of borrowing costsWhen funds are borrowed specifically for purchase, construction or manufacturing of assets eligiblefor capitalization, the Company shall determine the amount of borrowing costs eligible forcapitalisation as the actual borrowing costs incurred on that borrowing during the period less anyinterest income on bank deposit or investment income on the temporary investment of thoseborrowings.Where funds allocated for purchase, construction or manufacturing of assets eligible for
~ 154 ~
capitalization are part of a general borrowing, the eligible amounts are determined by theweighted-average of the cumulative capital expenditures in excess of the specific borrowingmultiplied by the general borrowing capitalization rate. The capitalisation rate will be the weightedaverage of the borrowing costs applicable to the general borrowing.
3.21 Intangible Assets
(a) Measurement method of intangible assetsIntangible assets are recognised at actual cost at acquisition.(b) The useful life and amortisation of intangible assets(i) The estimated useful lives of the intangible assets with finite useful lives are as follows:
| Category | Estimated useful life | Basis |
| Land use right | 40-50 years | Legal life |
| Patents | 10 years | The service life is determined by reference to the period that can bring economic benefits to the Company |
| Software | 3-5 years | The service life is determined by reference to the period that can bring economic benefits to the Company |
| Trademarks | 10 years | The service life is determined by reference to the period that can bring economic benefits to the Company |
For intangible assets with finite useful life, the estimated useful life and amortisation method arereviewed annually at the end of each reporting period and adjusted when necessary. No change hasincurred in current year in the estimated useful life and amortisation method upon review.(ii) Assets of which the period to bring economic benefits to the Company are unforeseeable areregarded as intangible assets with indefinite useful lives. The Company reassesses the usefullives of those assets at every year end. If the useful lives of those assets are still indefinite,impairment test should be performed on those assets at the balance sheet date.(iii) Amortisation of the intangible assetsFor intangible assets with finite useful lives, their useful lives should be determined upontheir acquisition and systematically amortised on a straight-line basis [units of productionmethod] over the useful life. The amortisation amount shall be recognised into current profitor loss according to the beneficial items. The amount to be amortised is cost deducting residualvalue. For intangible assets which has impaired, the cumulative impairment provision shall bededucted as well. The residual value of an intangible asset with a finite useful life shall beassumed to be zero unless: there is a commitment by a third party to purchase the asset at theend of its useful life; or there is an active market for the asset and residual value can bedetermined by reference to that market; and it is probable that such a market will exist at theend of the asset’s useful life.Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives shall not be amortised. The Company reassessesthe useful lives of those assets at every year end. If there is evidence to indicate that theuseful lives of those assets become finite, the useful lives shall be estimated and the intangible
~ 155 ~
assets shall be amortised systematically and reasonably within the estimated useful lives.(c) Scope of Research and Development ExpendituresThe Company classifies the expenses directly related to research and development activities asresearch and development expenditures, including remuneration of research and development staff,direct material, depreciation cost and long-term amortised expense, design fee, equipmentcommissioning fee, intangible assets amortisation cost, outsourcing research and developmentcost, and other expenses, etc.(d) Criteria of classifying expenditures on internal research and development projects intoresearch phase and development phasePreparation activities related to materials and other relevant aspects undertaken by the Companyfor the purpose of further development shall be treated as research phase. Expenditures incurredduring the research phase of internal research and development projects shall be recognised inprofit or loss when incurred.Development activities after the research phase of the Company shall be treated as developmentphase.
(e) Criteria for capitalization of qualifying expenditures during the development phaseExpenditures arising from development phase on internal research and development projects shallbe recognised as intangible assets only if all of the following conditions have been met:
(i) Technical feasibility of completing the intangible assets so that they will be availablefor use or sale;(ii) Its intention to complete the intangible asset and use or sell it;(iii) The method that the intangible assets generate economic benefits, including the Companycan demonstrate the existence of a market for the output of the intangible assets or the intangibleassets themselves or, if it is to be used internally, the usefulness of the intangible assets;(iv) The availability of adequate technical, financial and other resources to complete thedevelopment and to use or sell the intangible asset; and(v) Its ability to measure reliably the expenditure attributable to the intangible asset.
3.22 Impairment of Long-Term Assets
Impairment loss of long-term equity investment in subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures,investment properties, fixed assets, constructions in progress, and intangible assetssubsequently measured at cost shall be determined according to following method:
The Company shall assess at the end of each reporting period whether there is any indicationthat an asset may be impaired. If any such indication exists, the Company shall estimate therecoverable amount of the asset and test for impairment. Irrespective of whether there is anyindication of impairment, the Company shall test for impairment of goodwill acquired in a businesscombination, intangible assets with an indefinite useful life or intangible assets not yetavailable for use annually.The recoverable amounts of the long-term assets are the higher of their fair values less coststo dispose and the present values of the estimated future cash flows of the long-term assets.
~ 156 ~
The Company estimate the recoverable amounts on an individual basis. If it is difficult to estimatethe recoverable amount of the individual asset, the Company estimates the recoverable amountof the groups of assets that the individual asset belongs to. Identification of a group of assetis based on whether the cash inflows from it are largely independent of the cash inflows fromother assets or groups of assets.If, and only if, the recoverable amount of an asset or a group of assets is less than its carryingamount, the carrying amount of the asset shall be reduced to its recoverable amount and theprovision for impairment loss shall be recognised accordingly.For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill acquired in a business combination shall, fromthe acquisition date, be allocated to relevant group of assets based on reasonable method; ifit is difficult to allocate to relevant group of assets, good will shall be allocated to relevantcombination of asset groups. The relevant group of assets or combination of asset groups is agroup of assets or combination of asset groups that is benefit from the synergies of the businesscombination and is not larger than the reporting segment determined by the Company.When test for impairment, if there is an indication that relevant group of assets or combinationof asset groups may be impaired, impairment testing for group of assets or combination of assetgroups excluding goodwill shall be conducted first, and the recoverable amount shall be thencalculated and the impairment loss shall be recognised accordingly. Then the group of assetsor combination of asset groups including goodwill shall be tested for impairment, by comparingthe carrying amount with its recoverable amount. If the recoverable amount is less than thecarrying amount, the Company shall recognise the impairment loss.The mentioned impairment loss will not be reversed in subsequent accounting period once it hadbeen recognised.
3.23 Long-term Deferred Expenses
Long-term deferred expenses are various expenses already incurred, which shall be amortised overcurrent and subsequent periods with the amortisation period exceeding one year.
3.24 Employee Benefits
Employee benefits refer to all forms of consideration or compensation given by the Company inexchange for service rendered by employees or for the termination of employment relationship.Employee benefits include short-term employee benefits, post-employment benefits, terminationbenefits and other long-term employee benefits. Benefits provided to an employee's spouse,children, dependents, family members of decreased employees, or other beneficiaries are alsoemployee benefits.According to liquidity, employee benefits are presented in the statement of financial position as“Employee benefits payable” and “Long-term employee benefits payable”.(a) Short-term employee benefits(i) Employee basic salary (salary, bonus, allowance, subsidy)The Company recognises, in the accounting period in which an employee provides service, actually
~ 157 ~
occurred short-term employee benefits as a liability, with a corresponding charge to current profitexcept for those recognised as capital expenditure based on the requirement of accountingstandards.(ii) Employee welfareThe Company shall recognise the employee welfare based on actual amount when incurred intocurrent profit or loss or related capital expenditure. Employee welfare shall be measured at fairvalue as it is a non-monetary benefits.(iii) Social insurance such as medical insurance, work injury insurance and maternity insurance,housing funds, labor union fund and employee education fundPayments made by the Company of social insurance for employees, such as medical insurance,work injury insurance and maternity insurance, payments of housing funds, and labor union fundand employee education fund accrued in accordance with relevant requirements, in the accountingperiod in which employees provide services, is calculated according to required accrual bases andaccrual ratio in determining the amount of employee benefits and the related liabilities, which shallbe recognised in current profit or loss or the cost of relevant asset.(iv) Short-term paid absencesThe company shall recognise the related employee benefits arising from accumulating paidabsences when the employees render service that increases their entitlement to future paid absences.The additional payable amounts shall be measured at the expected additional payments as a result ofthe unused entitlement that has accumulated. The Company shall recognise relevant employeebenefit of non-accumulating paid absences when the absences actually occurred.(v)Short-term profit-sharing planThe Company shall recognise the related employee benefits payable under a profit-sharing planwhen all of the following conditions are satisfied:
? The Company has a present legal or constructive obligation to make such payments as a result of past
events; and? A reliable estimate of the amounts of employee benefits obligation arising from the profit- sharing plan
can be made.
(b) Post-employment benefits(i) Defined contribution plansThe Company shall recognise, in the accounting period in which an employee provides service, thecontribution payable to a defined contribution plan as a liability, with a corresponding charge to thecurrent profit or loss or the cost of a relevant asset.When contributions to a defined contribution plan are not expected to be settled wholly before
~ 158 ~
twelve months after the end of the annual reporting period in which the employees render therelated service, they shall be discounted using relevant discount rate (market yields at the end of thereporting period on high quality corporate bonds in active market or government bonds with thecurrency and term which shall be consistent with the currency and estimated term of the definedcontribution obligations) to measure employee benefits payable.(ii) Defined benefit planThe present value of defined benefit obligation and current service costsBased on the expected accumulative welfare unit method, the Company shall make estimates aboutdemographic variables and financial variables in adopting the unbiased and consistent actuarialassumptions and measure defined benefit obligation, and determine the obligation period. TheCompany shall discount the obligation arising from defined benefit plan using relevant discount rate(market yields at the end of the reporting period on high quality corporate bonds in active market orgovernment bonds with the currency and term which shall be consistent with the currency andestimated term of the defined benefit obligations) in order to determine the present value of thedefined benefit obligation and the current service cost.The net defined benefit liability or assetThe net defined benefit liability (asset) is the deficit or surplus recognised as the present value ofthe defined benefit obligation less the fair value of plan assets (if any).When the Company has a surplus in a defined benefit plan, it shall measure the net defined benefitasset at the lower of the surplus in the defined benefit plan and the asset ceiling.The amount recognised in the cost of asset or current profit or lossService cost comprises current service cost, past service cost and any gain or loss on settlement.Other service cost shall be recognised in profit or loss unless accounting standards require or allowthe inclusion of current service cost within the cost of assets.Net interest on the net defined benefit liability (asset) comprising interest income on plan assets,interest cost on the defined benefit obligation and interest on the effect of the asset ceiling, shall beincluded in profit or loss.The amount recognised in other comprehensive incomeChanges in the net liability or asset of the defined benefit plan resulting from the remeasurementsincluding:
? Actuarial gains and losses, the changes in the present value of the defined benefit obligation resulting
from experience adjustments or the effects of changes in actuarial assumptions;? Return on plan assets, excluding amounts included in net interest on the net defined benefit liability or
asset;
~ 159 ~
? Any change in the effect of the asset ceiling, excluding amounts included in net interest on the net defined
benefit liability (asset).
Remeasurements of the net defined benefit liability (asset) recognised in other comprehensiveincome shall not be reclassified to profit or loss in a subsequent period. However, the Companymay transfer those amounts recognised in other comprehensive income within equity.(c) Termination benefitsThe Company providing termination benefits to employees shall recognise an employee benefitsliability for termination benefits, with a corresponding charge to the profit or loss of the reportingperiod, at the earlier of the following dates:
(i) When the Company cannot unilaterally withdraw the offer of termination benefits because ofan employment termination plan or a curtailment proposal.(ii) When the Company recognises costs or expenses related to a restructuring that involves thepayment of termination benefits.If the termination benefits are not expected to be settled wholly before twelve months after the endof the annual reporting period, the Company shall discount the termination benefits using relevantdiscount rate (market yields at the end of the reporting period on high quality corporate bonds inactive market or government bonds with the currency and term which shall be consistent with thecurrency and estimated term of the defined benefit obligations) to measure the employee benefits.(d) Other long-term employee benefits(i) Meet the conditions of the defined contribution planWhen other long-term employee benefits provided by the Company to the employees satisfies theconditions for classifying as a defined contribution plan, all those benefits payable shall beaccounted for as employee benefits payable at their discounted value.(ii) Meet the conditions of the defined benefit planAt the end of the reporting period, the Company recognised the cost of employee benefit from otherlong-term employee benefits as the following components:
? Service costs;? Net interest cost for net liability or asset of other long-term employee benefits? Changes resulting from the remeasurements of the net liability or asset of other long-term employee benefitsIn order to simplify the accounting treatment, the net amount of above items shall be recognised inprofit or loss or relevant cost of assets.
3.25 Lease liabilities
~ 160 ~
At the commencement date, the Group measures the lease liability at the present value of the leasepayments that are not paid at that date. The lease payments comprise:
(i) Fixed payments, or in-substance fixed payments, less any lease incentives receivable;(ii) Variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate;(iii) The exercise price of a purchase option if the Group is reasonably certain to exercise thatoption;(iv) Payments of penalties for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects the Group exercisingan option to terminate the lease; and(v) Amounts expected to be payable by the Group under residual value guarantees.The lease payments shall be discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease, if that rate canbe readily determined. If that rate cannot be readily determined, the lessee shall use the lessee’sincremental borrowing rate. The excess of the lease payments over its present value is amortisedover the lease term as interest expenses using the discount rate. A variable lease payment which isnot included in the initial measurement of the lease liability is recognised in profit or loss whenincurred.
3.26 Provisions
(a) RecognitionA provision is recognised for an obligation associated with a contingent event when the followingconditions are satisfied:
(i) The obligation is a present obligation assumed by the entity;(ii) It is probable that fulfillment of the obligation will result in outflows of economic benefits fromthe entity;(iii) The amount of the obligation can be reliably measured.(b) MeasurementA provision is initially measured at the best estimate of expenses required for the performance ofrelevant present obligations. The Company, when determining the best estimate, has had acomprehensive consideration of risks with respect to contingencies, uncertainties and the time valueof money. The carrying amount of the provision shall be reviewed at the end of every reportingperiod. If conclusive evidences indicate that the carrying amount fails to be the best estimate of theprovision, the carrying amount shall be adjusted based on the updated best estimate.
3.27 Revenue
(a) General Principle
~ 161 ~
Revenue is defined as the gross inflow of economic benefits arising in the course of the ordinaryactivities of the Company when those inflows result in the increases in shareholders’ equity, otherthan increases relating to contributions from shareholders.The Company shall recognise revenue when it satisfies a performance obligation in the contract asthe customer obtains control of a good or service. Control of a good or service refers to the ability todirect the use of, and obtain substantially all of the remaining economic benefits from, the good orservice.When the contract has two or more obligation performances, the Company shall allocate thetransaction price to each performance obligation in proportion to a relative stand-alone selling priceat contract inception of the promised good or service underlying each performance obligation in thecontract and recognize revenue based on the transaction price allocated to each performanceobligation.The transaction price is the amount of consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled inexchange for transferring promised goods or services to a customer, excluding amounts collected onbehalf of third parties. When determining the transaction price of the contract, if the contractincludes a variable consideration, the Company shall determine the best estimate of the variableconsideration based on the expected value or the most likely amount and include in the transactionprice only to the extent that it is highly probable that a significant reversal in the amount ofcumulative revenue recognised will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variableconsideration is subsequently resolved. If the contract contains a significant financing component,the Company shall determine the transaction price at an amount that reflects the price that acustomer would have paid for the promised goods or services if the customer had paid cash forthose goods or services when (or as) they transfer to the customer. The difference between thetransaction price and the promised consideration shall be amortised using the effective interestmethod within the contract period. The Company need not consider the effects of a significantfinancing component if the period between when the Company transfers control of a good orservice to a customer and when the customer pays for that good or service will be one year or less.The Company satisfies a performance obligation over time, if one of the following criteria is met;otherwise a performance obligation is satisfied at a point in time:
(i) The customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits provided by the Company’sperformance as the Company performs;(ii) The Company’s performance creates or enhances an asset (for example, work in progress) thatthe customer controls as the asset is created or enhanced;(iii) The Company’s performance does not create an asset with an alternative use to the Companyand the Company has an enforceable right to payment for performance completed to date.
~ 162 ~
For each performance obligation satisfied over time, the Company shall recognise revenue overtime by measuring the progress towards complete satisfaction of that performance obligation, unlessthose progress cannot be reasonably measured. The Company measures the progress of aperformance obligation for the service rendered using input methods (or output methods). In somecircumstances, the Company cannot be able to reasonably measure the progress of a performanceobligation, but the Company expects to recover the costs incurred in satisfying the performanceobligation. In those circumstances, the Company shall recognise revenue only to the extent of thecosts incurred until such time that it can reasonably measure the progress of the performanceobligation.The Company shall recognise revenue at the point in which a customer obtains control of apromised good or service if a performance obligation is satisfied at a point in time. To determine thepoint in time at which a customer obtains control of a promised good or service, the Company shallconsider indicators of the transfer of control, which include, but are not limited to, the followings:
(i) The Company has a present right to payment for the good or service – a customer is presentlyobliged to pay for the good or service;(ii) The Company has transferred legal title of an asset to a customer - the customer has legal title tothe asset;(iii) The Company has transferred physical possession of an asset to a customer - the customer hasphysical possession of the asset;(iv) The Company has transferred the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the asset to acustomer - the customer has the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the asset;(v) The customer has accepted the asset.(VI) Other indication that the customer has obtained control over the asset.(b) Specific MethodRevenue recognition methods of the Company are as follows:
(i) Contract of sales of goodsAccording to the contract of sales of goods between the Company and the customer, the Companysatisfies a performance obligation by transferring goods to the customer, which is a performanceobligation satisfied at a point in time.Revenue from domestic sales of goods can only be recognised when the following conditions aresatisfied: the Company has transferred the promised goods to the customer according to the contractand the customer has accepted the goods; the payment has been received or the receipt voucher hasbeen obtained and it is highly probable that the consideration will be received; the significant risks
~ 163 ~
and rewards of ownership of the asset has been transferred; legal title of the asset has beentransferred.(ii) Contract of rendering servicesThe customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits provided by the Company’sperformance as the Company performs，Company satisfies a performance obligation by renderingof services to the customer, which is a performance obligation satisfied over time. For eachperformance obligation satisfied over time, the Company shall recognise revenue over time bymeasuring the progress towards complete satisfaction of that performance obligation.The customer can’t simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits provided by the Company’sperformance as the Company performs, the Company’s performance does not create an asset withan alternative use and the Company has no enforceable right to payment for performance completedto date at all times throughout the duration of the contract, Revenue from rendering of services is aperformance obligation satisfied at a point in time.The company recognizes revenue when thecompany completes technical services in accordance with the contractual agreement(iii) Revenue from usage of assetsRevenue from usage of the Group’s assets is recognised if the revenue can be reliably measured andit is probable that the associated economic benefits will flow to the Group.Revenue from usage of assets mainly includes the income from the leasing of premises andhouses.Revenue measured in accordance with the method determined by the respective contracts.
3.28 Government Grants
(a) Recognition of government grantsA government grant shall not be recgonised until there is reasonable assurance that:
(i) The Company will comply with the conditions attaching to them; and(ii) The grants will be received.(b) Measurement of government grantsMonetary grants from the government shall be measured at amount received or receivable, andnon-monetary grants from the government shall be measured at their fair value or at a nominalvalue of RMB 1.00 when reliable fair value is not available.
~ 164 ~
(c) Accounting for government grants(i) Government grants related to assetsGovernment grants pertinent to assets mean the government grants that are obtained by theCompany used for purchase or construction, or forming the long-term assets by other ways.Government grants pertinent to assets shall be recognised as deferred income, and should berecognised in profit or loss on a systematic basis over the useful lives of the relevant assets. Grantsmeasured at their nominal value shall be directly recognised in profit or loss of the period when thegrants are received. When the relevant assets are sold, transferred, written off or damaged before theassets are terminated, the remaining deferred income shall be transferred into profit or loss of theperiod of disposing relevant assets.(ii) Government grants related to incomeGovernment grants other than related to assets are classified as government grants related to income.Government grants related to income are accounted for in accordance with the following principles:
If the government grants related to income are used to compensate the enterprise’s relevantexpenses or losses in future periods, such government grants shall be recognised as deferred incomeand included into profit or loss (or write down related expenses) in the same period as the relevantexpenses or losses are recognised;If the government grants related to income are used to compensate the enterprise’s relevantexpenses or losses incurred, such government grants are directly recognised into current profit orloss (or write down related expenses).For government grants comprised of part related to assets as well as part related to income, eachpart is accounted for separately; if it is difficult to identify different part, the government grants areaccounted for as government grants related to income as a whole.Government grants related to daily operation activities are recognised in other income (or writedown related expenses) in accordance with the nature of the activities, and government grantsirrelevant to daily operation activities are recognised in non-operating income.(iii) Loan interest subsidyWhen loan interest subsidy is allocated to the bank, and the bank provides a loan at lower-marketrate of interest to the Company, the loan is recognised at the actual received amount, and the interestexpense is calculated based on the principal of the loan and the lower-market rate of interest.When loan interest subsidy is directly allocated to the Company, the subsidy shall be recognised asoffsetting the relevant borrowing cost.(iv) Repayment of the government grants
~ 165 ~
Repayment of the government grants shall be recorded by increasing the carrying amount of theasset if the book value of the asset has been written down, or reducing the balance of relevantdeferred income if deferred income balance exists, any excess will be recognised into current profitor loss; or directly recognised into current profit or loss for other circumstances.
3.29 Deferred Tax Assets and Deferred Tax Liabilities
Temporary differences are differences between the carrying amount of an asset or liability inthe statement of financial position and its tax base at the balance sheet date. The Companyrecognise and measure the effect of taxable temporary differences and deductible temporarydifferences on income tax as deferred tax liabilities or deferred tax assets using liabilitymethod. Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities shall not be discounted.(a) Recognition of deferred tax assetsDeferred tax assets should be recognised for deductible temporary differences, the carryforward ofunused tax losses and the carryforward of unused tax credits to the extent that it is probable thattaxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences, the carryforwardof unused tax losses and the carryforward of unused tax credits can be utilised at the tax rates thatare expected to apply to the period when the asset is realised, unless the deferred tax asset arisesfrom the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that:
(i) Is not a business combination; and(ii) At the time of the transaction, affects neither accounting profit nor taxable profit (tax loss)The Company shall recognise a deferred tax asset for all deductible temporary differences arisingfrom investments in subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures, only to the extent that, it is probablethat:
(i) The temporary difference will reverse in the foreseeable future; and(ii) Taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary difference can beutilised.At the end of each reporting period, if there is sufficient evidence that it is probable that taxableprofit will be available against which the deductible temporary difference can be utilized, theCompany recognises a previously unrecognised deferred tax asset.The carrying amount of a deferred tax asset shall be reviewed at the end of each reporting period.The Company shall reduce the carrying amount of a deferred tax asset to the extent that it is nolonger probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow the benefit of part or all ofthat deferred tax asset to be utilised. Any such reduction shall be reversed to the extent that itbecomes probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available.
~ 166 ~
(b) Recognition of deferred tax liabilitiesA deferred tax liability shall be recognised for all taxable temporary differences at the tax rate thatare expected to apply to the period when the liability is settled.(i) No deferred tax liability shall be recognised for taxable temporary differences arising from:
? The initial recognition of goodwill; or? The initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction which: is not a businesscombination; and at the time of the transaction, affects neither accounting profit nor taxable profit(tax loss)(ii) An entity shall recognise a deferred tax liability for all taxable temporary differences associatedwith investments in subsidiaries, associates, and joint ventures, except to the extent that both of thefollowing conditions are satisfied:
? 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.
(c) Recognition of deferred tax liabilities or assets involved in special transactions or events(i) Deferred tax liabilities or assets related to business combinationFor the taxable temporary difference or deductible temporary difference arising from a businesscombination not under common control, a deferred tax liability or a deferred tax asset shall berecognised, and simultaneously, goodwill recognised in the business combination shall be adjustedbased on relevant deferred tax expense (income).(ii) Items directly recognised in equityCurrent tax and deferred tax related to items that are recognised directly in equity shall berecognised in equity. Such items include: other comprehensive income generated from fair valuefluctuation of other debt investments; an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earningsresulting from either a change in accounting policy that is applied retrospectively or the correctionof a prior period (significant) error; amounts arising on initial recognition of the equity componentof a compound financial instrument that contains both liability and equity component.(iii) Unused tax losses and unused tax creditsUnused tax losses and unused tax credits generated from daily operation of the Company itselfDeductible loss refers to the loss calculated and permitted according to the requirement of tax lawthat can be offset against taxable income in future periods. The criteria for recognising deferred taxassets arising from the carryforward of unused tax losses and tax credits are the same as the criteriafor recognising deferred tax assets arising from deductible temporary differences. The Company
~ 167 ~
recognises a deferred tax asset arising from unused tax losses or tax credits only to the extent thatthere is convincing other evidence that sufficient taxable profit will be available against which theunused tax losses or unused tax credits can be utilised by the Company. Income taxes in currentprofit or loss shall be deducted as well.Unused tax losses and unused tax credits arising from a business combinationUnder a business combination, the acquiree’s deductible temporary differences which do not satisfythe criteria at the acquisition date for recognition of deferred tax asset shall not be recognised.Within 12 months after the acquisition date, if new information regarding the facts andcircumstances exists at the acquisition date and the economic benefit of the acquiree’s deductibletemporary differences at the acquisition is expected to be realised, the Company shall recogniseacquired deferred tax benefits and reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill related to thisacquisition. If goodwill is reduced to zero, any remaining deferred tax benefits shall be recognisedin profit or loss. All other acquired deferred tax benefits realised shall be recognised in profit orloss.(iv) Temporary difference generated in consolidation eliminationWhen preparing consolidated financial statements, if temporary difference between carrying valueof the assets and liabilities in the consolidated financial statements and their taxable bases isgenerated from elimination of inter-company unrealized profit or loss, deferred tax assets ordeferred tax liabilities shall be recognised in the consolidated financial statements, and income taxesexpense in current profit or loss shall be adjusted as well except for deferred tax related totransactions or events recognised directly in equity and business combination.(v) Share-based payment settled by equityIf tax authority permits tax deduction that relates to share-based payment, during the period inwhich the expenses are recognised according to the accounting standards, the Company estimatesthe tax base in accordance with available information at the end of the accounting period and thetemporary difference arising from it. Deferred tax shall be recognised when criteria of recognitionare satisfied. If the amount of estimated future tax deduction exceeds the amount of the cumulativeexpenses related to share-based payment recognised according to the accounting standards, the taxeffect of the excess amount shall be recognised directly in equity.(d) Basis for deferred income tax assets and deferred income tax liabilities presented on a netbasisThe Company shall offset deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities if, and only if:
(i) the Company has a legally enforceable right to set off current tax assets against current taxliabilities; and
~ 168 ~
(ii) the deferred tax assets and the deferred tax liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the sametaxation authority on either:
? the same taxable entity; or? different taxable entities which intend either to settle current tax liabilities and assets on a net basis, or to
realise the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously, in each future period in which significantamounts of deferred tax liabilities or assets are expected to be settled or recovered.
3.30 Leases
(a) Identifying a leaseAt inception of a contract, the Company shall assess whether the contract is, or contains, a lease. Acontract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of one or moreidentified assets for a period of time in exchange for consideration. To assess whether a contractconveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time, the Company shallassess whether, throughout the period of use, the customer has the right to obtain substantially all ofthe economic benefits from use of the identified asset and to direct the use of the identified asset.(b) Identifying a separate lease componentWhen a contract includes more than one separate lease components, the Company shall separatecomponents of the contract and account for each lease component separately. The right to use anunderlying asset is a separate lease component if both conditions have been satisfied: (i) the lesseecan benefit from use of the underlying asset either on its own or together with other resources thatare readily available to the lessee; (ii) the underlying asset is neither highly dependent on, norhighly interrelated with, the other underlying assets in the contract.(c) The Company as a lesseeAt the commencement date, the Company identifies the lease that has a lease term of 12 months orless and does not contain a purchase option as a short-term lease. A lease qualifies as a lease of alow-value asset if the nature of the asset is such that, when new, the asset is typically of low value.If the Company subleases an asset, or expects to sublease an asset, the head lease does not qualifyas a lease of a low-value asset.For all the short-term leases or leases for which the underlying asset is of low value, the Companyshall recognise the lease payments associated with those leases as cost of relevant asset or expensesin current profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the lease term.Except for the election of simple treatment as short-term lease or lease of a low-value asset asmentioned above, at the commencement date, the Company shall recognise a right-of-use asset anda lease liability.
~ 169 ~
(i) Right-of-use assetA right-of-use asset is an asset that represents a lessee’s right to use an underlying asset for the leaseterm.At the commencement date, the Company shall initially measure the right-of-use asset at cost. Thecost of the right-of-use asset shall comprise:
? the amount of the initial measurement of the lease liability；? any lease payments made at or before the commencement date, less any lease incentives received;? any initial direct costs incurred by the lessee; and? an estimate of costs to be incurred by the lessee in dismantling and removing the underlying asset, restoring
the site on which it is located or restoring the underlying asset to the condition required by the terms andconditions of the lease. The Company recognises and measures the cost in accordance with the recognitioncriteria and measurement method for estimated liabilities, details please refer to Notes 3.26. Those costsincurred to produce inventories shall be included in the cost of inventories.
The right-of-use asset shall be depreciated according to the categories using straight‐line method.If it is reasonably certain that the ownership of the underlying asset shall be transferred to the lesseeby the end of the lease term, the depreciation rate shall be determined based on the classification ofthe right-of- use asset and estimated residual value rate from the commencement date to the end ofthe useful life of the underlying asset. Otherwise, the depreciation rate shall be determined based onthe classification of the right-of-use asset from the commencement date to the earlier of the end ofthe useful life of the right-of-use asset or the end of the lease term.The depreciation method, estimated useful life, residual rates and annual depreciation rates whichare determined according to the categories of right-of-use asset are listed as followings:
| Category | Depreciation method | Estimated useful life (year) | Residualrates (%) | Annual depreciation rates (%) |
| Buildings and constructions | straight‐line method | 3.00-10.00 | 0.00 | 10.00-33.33 |
| Machinery equipment | straight‐line method | 3.00 | 0.00 | 33.33 |
(ii) Lease liabilityAt the commencement date, the lease liability shall be measured at the present value of the leasepayments that are not paid at that date. The lease payments included in the measurement of the leaseliability comprise the following 5 items:
? fixed payments and in-substance fixed payments, less any lease incentives receivable;
~ 170 ~
? variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate；? the exercise price of a purchase option if the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise that option；? payments of penalties for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects the lessee exercising an option toterminate the lease；? amounts expected to be payable by the lessee under residual value guarantees.
In order to calculate the present value of the lease payments, interest rate implicit in the lease shallbe used as the discount rate. If that rate cannot be readily determined, the Company shall use theincremental borrowing rate. The difference between the lease payments and its present value shallbe recognised as unrecognised financing charges, calculated bases on the discount rate of thepresent value of the lease payments in each period within the lease term and recorded as interestexpense in current profit or loss. Variable lease payments not included in the measurement of leaseliabilities shall be recognised in current profit or loss when incurred.After the commencement date, the Company shall remeasure the lease liability based on the revisedpresent value of the lease payments and adjust the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset if thereis a change in the in-substance fixed payments, or change in the amounts expected to be payableunder a residual value guarantee, or change in an index or a rate used to determine lease payments,or change in the assessment or exercising of an option to purchase the underlying asset, or an optionto extend or terminate the lease.(d) The Company as a lessorAt the commencement date, the Company shall classify a lease as a finance lease if it transferssubstantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of an underlying asset, otherwise itshall be classified as an operating lease.(i) Operating leasesThe Company shall recognise lease payments from operating leases as income on a straight-linebasis over the term of the relevant lease and the initial direct costs incurred in obtaining anoperating lease shall be capitalised and recognised as an expense over the lease term on the samebasis as the lease income. The Company shall recognise the variable lease payments relating to theoperating lease but not included in the measurement of the lease receivables into current profit orloss when incurred.(ii) Finance leasesAt the commencement date, the Company shall recognise the lease receivables at an account equalto the net investment in the lease (the sum of the present value of the unguaranteed residual valuesand the lease payment that are not received at the commencement date discounted at the interest rate
~ 171 ~
implicit in the lease) and derecognise the asset relating to the finance lease. The Company shallrecognise interest income using the interest rate implicit in the lease over the lease term.The Company shall recognise the variable lease payments relating to the finance lease but notincluded in the measurement of the net investment in the lease into current profit or loss whenincurred.(e) Lease modifications(i) A lease modification accounted for as a separate leaseThe Company shall account for a modification to a lease as a separate lease, if both:
? the modification increases the scope of the lease by adding the right to use one or more underlying assets;
and? the consideration for the lease increases by an amount commensurate with the stand-alone price for theincrease in scope.
(ii) A lease modification not accounted for as a separate leaseThe Company as a lesseeAt the effective date of the lease modification, the Company shall redetermine the lease term of themodified lease and remeasure the lease liability by discounting the revised lease payments using arevised discount rate. The revised discount rate is determined as the interest rate implicit in the leasefor the remainder of the lease term, if that rate can be readily determined, or the incrementalborrowing rate at the effective date of the modification, if the interest rate implicit in the leasecannot be readily determined.The Company shall account for the remeasurement of the lease liability by:
? decreasing the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset to reflect the partial or full termination of the lease
for lease modifications that decrease the scope of the lease or shorten the lease term. The Company shall
recognise in profit or loss any gain or loss relating to the partial or full termination of the lease.? Making a corresponding adjustment to the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset for all other lease
modifications.
The Company as a lessorThe Company shall account for a modification to an operating lease as a new lease from theeffective date of the modification, considering any prepaid or accrued lease payments relating to theoriginal lease as part of the lease payments for the new lease.For a modification to a finance lease that is not accounted for as a separate lease, the Company shallaccount for the modification as follows:
~ 172 ~
? if the lease would have been classified as an operating lease had the modification been in effect at theinception date, the Company shall account for the lease modification as a new lease from the effective date ofthe modification and measure the carrying amount of the underlying asset as the net investment in the leaseimmediately before the effective date of the lease modification;? if the lease would have been classified as a finance lease had the modification been in effect at the inceptiondate, the Company shall account for the lease modification according to the requirements in the modificationor renegotiation of the contract.
(f) Sale and leasebackThe Company shall determine whether the transfer of an asset under the sale and leasebacktransaction is a sale of that asset according to the policies in Note 3.27.(i) The Company as a seller (lessee)If the transfer of the asset is not a sale, the Company shall continue to recognise the transferredasset and shall recognise a financial liability equal to the transfer proceeds. It shall account for thefinancial liability according to Note 3.10. If the transfer of the asset is a sale, the Company shallmeasure the right-of-use asset arising from the leaseback at the proportion of the previous carryingamount of the asset that relates to the right of use retained by the Company. Accordingly, theCompany shall recognise only the amount of any gain or loss that relates to the rights transferred tothe buyer-lessor.(ii) The Company as a buyer (lessor)If the transfer of the asset is not a sale, the Company shall not recognise the transferred asset andshall recognise a financial asset equal to the transfer proceeds. It shall account for the financial assetaccording to Note 3.10. If the transfer of the asset is a sale, the Company shall account for thepurchase of the asset applying applicable Accounting Standards of Business Enterprises, and for thelease applying the lessor accounting requirements.

10. RISKS RELATED TO FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Risks related to the financial instruments of the Company arise from the recognition of variousfinancial assets and financial liabilities during its operation, including credit risk, liquidity risk andmarket risk.Management of the Company is responsible for determining risk management objectives andpolicies related to financial instruments. Operational management is responsible for the daily riskmanagement through functional departments (e.g. credit management department of the Companyreviews each credit sale). Internal audit department is responsible for the daily supervision ofimplementation of the risk management policies and procedures, and report their findings to theaudit committee in a timely manner.Overall risk management objective of the Company is to establish risk management policies tominimize the risks without unduly affecting the competitiveness and resilience of the Company.
10.1 Credit Risk
~ 220 ~
Credit risk is the risk of one party of the financial instrument face to a financial loss because theother party of the financial instrument fails to fulfill its obligation. The credit risk of the Company isrelated to cash and equivalent, notes receivable, accounts receivables, other receivables andlong-term receivables. Credit risk of these financial assets is derived from the counterparty’s breachof contract. The maximum risk exposure is equal to the carrying amount of these financialinstruments.Cash and cash equivalent of the Company has lower credit risk, as they are mainly deposited insuch financial institutions as commercial bank, of which the Company thinks with higher reputationand financial position. For notes receivable, other receivables and long-term receivables, theCompany establishes related policies to control their credit risk exposure. The Company assessescredit capability of its customers and determines their credit terms based on their financial position,possibility of the guarantee from third party, credit record and other factors (such as current marketstatus, etc.). The Company monitors its customers’ credit record periodically, and for thosecustomers with poor credit record, the Company will take measures such as written call, shorteningor cancelling their credit terms so as to ensure the overall credit risk of the Company is controllable.(i) Determination of significant increases in credit riskThe Company assesses at each reporting date as to whether the credit risk on financial instrumentshas increased significantly since initial recognition. When the Company determines whether thecredit risk has increased significantly since initial recognition, it considers based on reasonable andsupportable information that is available without undue cost or effort, including quantitative andqualitative analysis of historical information, external credit ratings and forward-lookinginformation. The Company determines the changes in the risk of a default occurring over theexpected life of the financial instrument through comparing the risk of a default occurring on thefinancial instrument as at the reporting date with the risk of a default occurring on the financialinstrument as at the date of initial recognition based on individual financial instrument or a group offinancial instruments with the similar credit risk characteristics.When met one or more of the following quantitative or qualitative criteria, the Company determinesthat the credit risk on financial instruments has increased significantly: the quantitative criteriaapplied mainly because as at the reporting date, the increase in the probability of default occurringover the lifetime is more than a certain percentage since the initial recognition; the qualitativecriteria applied if the debtor has adverse changes in business and economic conditions, earlywarning list of customer, and etc.(ii) Definition of credit-impaired financial assetsThe criteria adopted by the Company for determination of credit impairment are consistent withinternal credit risk management objectives of relevant financial instruments in considering bothquantitative and qualitative indicators.
~ 221 ~
When the Company assesses whether the debtor has incurred the credit impairment, the mainfactors considered are as following: Significant financial difficulty of the issuer or the borrower; abreach of contract, e.g., default or past-due event; a lender having granted a concession to theborrower for economic or contractual reasons relating to the borrower’s financial difficulty that thelender would not otherwise consider; the probability that the borrower will enter bankruptcy orother financial re-organisation; the disappearance of an active market for the financial asset becauseof financial difficulties of the issuer or the borrower; the purchase or origination of a financial assetat a deep discount that reflects the incurred credit losses.(iii) The parameter of expected credit loss measurementThe company measures impairment provision for different assets with the expected credit loss of12-month or the lifetime based on whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk orcredit impairment has occurred. The key parameters for expected credit loss measurement includedefault probability, default loss rate and default risk exposure. The Company sets up the model ofdefault probability, default loss rate and default risk exposure in considering the quantitativeanalysis of historical statistics (such as counterparties’ ratings, guarantee method and collateral type,repayment method, etc.) and forward-looking information.Relevant definitions are as following:
Default probability refers to the probability of the debtor will fail to discharge the repaymentobligation over the next 12 months or the entire remaining lifetime;Default loss rate refers to the Company's expectation of the loss degree of default risk exposure.The default loss rate varies depending on the type of counterparty, recourse method and priority,and the collateral. The default loss rate is the percentage of the risk exposure loss when default hasoccurred and it is calculated over the next 12 months or the entire lifetime;The default risk exposure refers to the amount that the company should be repaid when default hasoccurred in the next 12 months or the entire lifetime. Both the assessment of significant increase incredit risk of forward-looking information and the calculation of expected credit losses involveforward-looking information. Through historical data analysis, the Company identifies keyeconomic indicators that have impact on the credit risk and expected credit losses for each business.The maximum exposure to credit risk of the Company is the carrying amount of each financial assetin the statement of financial position. The Company does not provide any other guarantees that mayexpose the Company to credit risk.For the accounts receivable of the Company, the amount of top 5 clients represents 62.30% of thetotal; for the other receivables, the amount of the top five entities represents 59.11% of the total.
10.2 Liquidity Risk
~ 222 ~
Liquidity risk is the risk of shortage of funds when fulfilling the obligation of settlement bydelivering cash or other financial assets. The Company is responsible for the capital management ofall of its subsidiaries, including short-term investment of cash surplus and dealing with forecastedcash demand by raising loans. The Company’s policy is to monitor the demand for short-term andlong-term floating capital and whether the requirement of loan contracts is satisfied so as to ensureto maintain adequate cash and cash equivalents.
10.3 Market Risk
Market risk of financial instruments refers to the risk that the fair value or future cash flow offinancial instruments will fluctuate due to changes in market prices. Market risk mainly includesforeign exchange risk and interest rate risk.(a) Foreign currency riskForeign currency risk of the Company mainly arise from foreign currency assets and liabilitiesdenominated in currency other than the Company’s functional currency. The main business of theCompany is located in Chinese Mainland, and the main business is settled in RMB. There is only asmall amount of export business, which has a small proportion of income scale and impact, and haslittle exchange rate risk.(b) Interest rate riskInterest risk refers to the risk on the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument broughtby the change of market interest rate. Interest risk mainly arises from bank loans. As of thestatement date, the Company had no bank loan with a floating interest rate.(c) Other price riskInvestments held for trading were measured at fair value.
