Wuxi Little Swan Company Limited Annual Report 2017
Part IV Company Performance Discussion and Analysis
I Overview
(I) Macro-Environment
During 2017, despite unfavorable factors such as the appreciation of the RMB, rising raw material prices and a
stricter real estate policy, the continual recovery in the global economy and the steadily improving domestic
economy boosted market demand, which helped bring a steady growth in the home appliance sector.
China‘s supply-side structural reform went further during the year. Washing machine manufacturers were busy
upgrading by way of encouraging technological innovation and adjusting their product mix to include a larger
proportion of medium- and high-end products, which resulted in a more centralized market. Washing machine
consumption was still undergoing substantial change, with the priority consumers consider shifting from ―being
affordable‖ to diversified factors. Roller, smart, inverter and large-capacity washing machines, as well as clothes
driers continued to see rapid growth, while partitioned washing was gaining increasing popularity among
consumers. Online sales still grew faster than offline sales, with an increasing proportion of high-end products
being sold, but retail stores were developing faster. During the Reporting Period, the laundry industry saw a stable
growth in spite of the fiercer competition. According to ChinaIOL.com, during the period from January to
December 2017, China sold a total of 64,069,600 units of washing machines, representing a year-over-year
increase of 7.67%, of which 44,136,400 units were sold domestically, up 7.26% from last year, and 19,933,100
units were exported, up 8.59% from last year.
(II) Analysis of Main Business
In face of a complex and volatile international situation, as well as the rise of general cost in the home appliance
sector during 2017, the Company continued to adhere closely to its core strategy of ―Advanced Products,
Efficiency-Driven Growth and Global Operations‖, and focused on its main business of washing machines and
clothes driers. As a professional washing machine manufacturer, it provides quality products through intelligent
manufacturing to satisfy the needs of consumers. It upgraded its domestic marketing system, worked for a larger
share in the overseas market, and promoted quality operations throughout the value chain, which helped produce
good operating results. During the Reporting Period, the Company achieved operating revenue of RMB21.385
billion, up 30.91% compared to last year. The net income attributable to the shareholders of the parent stood at
Wuxi Little Swan Company Limited Annual Report 2017
RMB1.506 billion, representing a year-over-year growth of 28.20%. And the average gross margin was 25.26%.
Increased unit sales and product selling prices resulted in the growth in revenue. The unit sales rose because of
better product and distribution channel structures. By product, roller washers maintained a fast growth in unit
sales while driers also saw a rapid increase in this respect. By distribution channel, domestic online channels
continued to generate fast growing unit sales, and there was also a strong growth in exports to regions such as
Europe and North America, with a fast growth in the unit sales of the Company‘s own products. The average
selling price of the Company‘s products also increased because the product mix had been further optimized and
the Company properly raised the prices due to higher costs caused by fluctuations in raw material prices and
foreign currency exchange rates. During the Reporting Period, the Company‘s unit sales witnessed a
year-over-year increase of 18.37%, far higher than the industry average.
The higher earnings came from a bigger business size, better efficiency and higher investment income. By
promoting quality operations throughout the value chain, the Company significantly improved its operating
efficiency. In addition, the investment income increased because of a greater amount of free cash. During the
Reporting Period, the Company achieved a net income of RMB1.708 billion, increasing 27.23% from the year
earlier.

responsibilities in accordance with the CICPA Code.

audit of the financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a

Other Information
Management of the Company is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises all
of the information included in 2017 annual report of the Company other than the financial statements and
our auditor’s report thereon.
Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any
form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information
and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial
statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise 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 required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Financial
Statements
Management of the Company is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial
statements in accordance with the CASs, and for such internal control as management determines is
necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement,
whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing these financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company’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 either intend to liquidate the Company or to cease
operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the Company’s financial reporting process.
Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether these financial statements as a whole are
free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that
includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit
conducted in accordance with CSAs will always detect a material misstatement when it exists.
Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate,
they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these
financial statements.
PwC ZT Shen Zi (2018) No. 10036
(Page 4 of 5)
Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements (Cont’d)
As part of an audit in accordance with CSAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional
scepticism throughout the audit. We also:
Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to
fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit
evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not
detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error,
as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override
of internal control.
Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit
procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances.
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting
estimates and related disclosures made by management.
Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and,
based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or
conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s
report to the related disclosures in these financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate,
to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of
our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to
continue as a going concern.
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the
disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events
in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or
business activities within the Company to express an opinion on the consolidated financial
statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the group 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 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 regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other
matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related
safeguards.
PwC ZT Shen Zi (2018) No. 10036
(Page 5 of 5)
Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements (Cont’d)
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that
were of most significance in the audit of the financial statements of the current period and are therefore the
key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes
public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter
should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably
be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

(All amounts in Renminbi yuan unless otherwise stated)
[English Translation for Reference Only]
(a) Business combinations involving enterprises under common control
The consideration paid and net assets obtained by the absorbing party in a business combination are measured at the
carrying amount, or, at the book value of obtained assets and liabilities (including goodwill arising from
combination of the ultimate controlling party and its absorbed entity) on consolidated financial statements wherein
the absorbed party has been acquired by the ultimate controlling party from a third party in previous period. The
difference between the carrying amount of the net assets obtained from the combination and the carrying amount of
the consideration paid for the combination is treated as an adjustment to capital surplus (share premium). If the
capital surplus (share premium) is not sufficient to absorb the difference, the remaining balance is adjusted against
retained earnings. Costs directly attributable to the combination are included in profit or loss in the period in which
they are incurred. Transaction costs associated with the issue of equity or debt securities for the business
combination are included in the initially recognised amounts of the equity or debt securities.
(b) Business combinations involving enterprises not under common control
The cost of combination and identifiable net assets obtained by the acquirer in a business combination are measured
at fair value at the acquisition date. Where the cost of the combination exceeds the acquirer‘s interest in the fair
value of the acquirer‘s identifiable net assets, the difference is recognised as goodwill; where the cost of
combination is lower than the acquirer‘s interest in the fair value of the acquirer‘s identifiable net assets, the
difference is recognised in profit or loss for the current period. Costs directly attributable to the combination are
included in profit or loss in the period in which they are incurred. Transaction costs associated with the issue of
equity or debt securities for the business combination are included in the initially recognised amounts of the equity
or debt securities.
(6) Basis for preparation of consolidated financial statements
The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of the Company and all of its subsidiaries.
Subsidiaries are consolidated from the date on which the Group obtains control and are de-consolidated from the
date that such control ceases. For a subsidiary that is acquired in a business combination involving enterprises under
common control, it is included in the consolidated financial statements from the date when it, together with the
Company, comes under common control of the ultimate controlling party. The portion of the net profits realised
before the combination date is presented separately in the consolidated income statement.
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, where the accounting policies and the accounting periods of the

Company and subsidiaries are inconsistent, the financial statements of the subsidiaries are adjusted in accordance
with the accounting policies and the accounting period of the Company. For subsidiaries acquired from business
combinations involving enterprises not under common control, the individual financial statements of the
subsidiaries are adjusted based on the fair value of the identifiable net assets at the acquisition date.
All significant intra-group balances, transactions and unrealised profits are eliminated in the consolidated financial
statements. The portion of a subsidiary‘s equity and the portion of a subsidiary‘s net profits, losses and
comprehensive income for the period not attributable to the Company are recognised as minority interests and
presented separately in the consolidated financial statements within equity, net profits and total comprehensive
income respectively. Unrealised gain or loss from selling assets to subsidiaries fully offsets the net income
attributable to equity holders of the company. Unrealised gain or loss from purchasing assets from subsidiaries
offsets the net income attributable to equity holders of the company and atrributable to the minority interest by the
distribution proportion regarding the company and the subsidiary. Unrealised gain or loss from transaction between
subsidiaries offsets the net income attributable to equity holders of the company and atrributable to the minority
interest by the distribution proportion regarding the company and the selling side of the subsidiaries.
If different recognition perspectives for the same transaction arise within different accounting identities setup, there
is adjustment for the transaction from the Group‘s perspective.
(7) Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand, deposits that can be readily drawn on demand, and short-term and
highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and are subject to an insignificant
risk of changes in value.

(a) Foreign currency transaction
Foreign currency transactions are translated into RMB using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the
transactions.
On the balance sheet date, monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are translated into RMB using the spot
exchange rates on the balance sheet date. Exchange differences arising from these translations are recognised in
profit or loss for the current period, except for those attributable to foreign currency borrowings that have been taken
out specifically for the acquisition or construction of qualifying assets, which are capitalised as part of the cost of

flow items, which are oversea operating, are translated into RMB using the spot exchange rate at the date of the cash
in or cash out. The effect of exchange rate changes on cash is presented separately in the cash flow statement.
(9) Financial instruments
(a) Financial assets
(i) Classification
Financial assets are classified into the following categories at initial recognition: financial assets at fair value
through profit or loss, loan and receivables and available-for-sale financial assets. The classification of financial
assets depends on the Group‘s intention and ability to hold the financial assets.
Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss
Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are derivatives – forward foreign exchange contract.
Loan and receivables
Loan and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in
an active market.
Available-for-sale financial assets
Available-for-sale financial assets are non-derivative financial assets that are designated to be available for sale
upon initial recognition and financial assets not classified in any other categories. Available-for-sale financial assets
are included in other current assets if they are intended to be disposed by management within 12 months from
balance sheet date.
(ii) Recognition and measurement
WUXI LITTLE SWAN CO., LTD.
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2017
(All amounts in Renminbi yuan unless otherwise stated)
[English Translation for Reference Only]
Financial assets are recognized at fair value on the balance sheet when the Group becomes a party to the contractual
provisions of the financial instrument. Transaction costs that are attributable to the acquisition of the financial assets
at fair value through profits or losses are included in profit or loss in the period in which they are incurred, and
transaction costs that are attributable to the acquisition of other financial assets are included in their initially
recognized amounts.
Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss and available-for-sale financial assets are subsequently measured
at fair value. Investments in equity instruments are measured at cost when they do not have a quoted market price in
an active market and whose fair value cannot be reliably measured. Loan and receivables and held-to-maturity
investments are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
Gains or losses arising from change in fair value of financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are recognized
in profit and loss of the current period as profit or loss from changes in fair value. Interests or cash dividends yield
during asset holding period and gains and losses arising from asset disposal are recognized in the current period
profit and loss.
Gains or losses arising from change in fair value of available-for-sale financial assets are recognized directly in
equity, except for impairment losses and foreign exchange gains and losses arising from translation of monetary
financial assets. When such financial assets are derecognized, the cumulative gains or losses previously recognized
directly into equity are recycled into profit or loss for the current period. Interests on available-for-sale investments
in debt instruments calculated using the effective interest method during the period in which such investments are
held and cash dividends declared by the investee on available-for-sale investments in equity instruments are
recognized as investment income, which is recognized in profits or losses for the period.
(iii) Impairment of financial assets
Except for financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, the Group assesses the carrying amount of financial
assets at each balance sheet date. If there is objective evidence that the financial asset is impaired, an impairment
loss is provided for.
The objective evidence are matters that occur after the financial assets been recognised, affect its estimated future
cash flow and could be measured accurately by the Group.
The objective evidence, of which provided for available-for-sale equity instruments being impaired, includes an
investment in an equity instrument with serious or prolonged decline. The Group assesses available-for-sale equity
WUXI LITTLE SWAN CO., LTD.
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2017
(All amounts in Renminbi yuan unless otherwise stated)
[English Translation for Reference Only]
instruments at each balance sheet date. If the fair value of equity instruments is lower than its initial investment cost
of more than 50% (including 50%), or lower than its initial investment costs and the duration of such circumstances
lasts for more than 1 year ( including 1 year), it indicates that the equity instruments are impaired. If the fair value of
equity instruments is less than its initial investment cost of more than 20% (including 20%) to 50% (not including
50%), the Group will consider other relevant factors such as ratios of price fluctuation to judge that whether equity
instruments are impaired. The group measured the initial investment cost of available-for-sale equity instruments
using the weighted average method.
When an impairment loss on a financial asset carried at amortized cost has been incurred, the amount of loss is
measured at the difference between the asset‘s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows
(excluding future credit losses that have not been incurred). If there is objective evidence that the value of the
financial asset recovered and the recovery is related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was
recognized, the previously recognized impairment loss is reversed and the amount of reversal is recognized in
profits or losses.
When an impairment loss on available-for-sale financial assets incurred, the cumulative losses arising from the
decline in fair value that had been recognized directly in equity are transferred out from equity and into impairment
loss. For an investment in debt instrument classified as available-for-sale on which impairment losses have been
recognized, if, in a subsequent period, its fair value increases and the increase can be objectively related to an event
occurring after the impairment loss was recognized in profit or loss, the previously recognized impairment loss is
reversed into profit or loss for the current period. For an investment in an equity instrument classified as
available-for-sale on which impairment losses have been recognized, the increase in its fair value in a subsequent
period is recognized directly in equity.
If an impairment loss incurred on a financial asset carried at amortized cost, the amount of loss is measured as the
difference between the asset‘s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows discounted at
the current market rate of return for a similar financial asset and cannot be revert in the subsequent periods.
(iv) Derecognition of financial assets
Financial assets are derecognised when: i) the contractual rights to receive the cash flows from the financial assets
have expired; or ii) substantial risks and rewards of ownership of the financial assets have been transferred; or iii)
the control over the financial asset has been waived even if the Group does not transfer or retain nearly all of the
WUXI LITTLE SWAN CO., LTD.
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2017
(All amounts in Renminbi yuan unless otherwise stated)
[English Translation for Reference Only]
risks and rewards relating to the ownership of a financial asset.
On derecognition of a financial asset, the difference between the carrying amount and the aggregate of consideration
received and the accumulative amount of the changes of fair value originally recorded in the owner‘s equity is
recognised in the profit or loss.
(b) Financial liabilities
Financial liabilities are classified into the following categories at initial recognition: the financial liabilities at fair
value through profit or loss and other financial liabilities. The financial liabilities in the Group mainly comprise of
other financial liabilities, including short-term borrowings, notes payable, accounts payable, dividends payable,
other payables and other current liabilities, which are recognised initially at fair value and measured subsequently at
amortised cost using the effective interest method.
Borrowings are recognised initially at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred, and subsequently carried at
amortised costs using the effective interest method.
Other financial liabilities are classified as current liabilities if they mature within one year (one year included);
others are classified as non-current liabilities; non-current liabilities due for repayment within one year since the
balance sheet date are classified as current portion of non-current liabilities.
A financial liability (or a part of financial liability) is derecognised when and only when the obligation specified in
the contract is discharged or cancelled. The difference between the carrying amount of a financial liability (or a part
of financial liability) extinguished and the consideration paid is recognised in profit or loss.
(c) Determination of the fair value of the financial instruments
The fair value of a financial instrument that is traded in an active market is determined at the quoted price in the
active market. The fair value of a financial instrument for which the market is not active is determined by using a
valuation technique. In the process of valuation, the Group uses valuation techniques that are appropriate in the
circumstances and for which sufficient data and other supporting information are available while selecting inputs
that are consistent with the characteristics of the asset or liability that market participants would take into account in
a transaction for the asset or liability. The use of relevant observable inputs is maximized while that of unobservable
inputs is minimized. Unobservable inputs shall be used to the extent that the relevant observable inputs are
unavailable.

Receivables with amounts that are not individually significant and those receivables that have been
individually assessed for impairment and have not been found impaired are classified into certain
Grouping upon aging basis groupings based on their credit risk characteristics. Provision for bad debts is determined based on the
historical loss experience for groupings of receivables with similar credit risk characteristics, taking
into consideration of the current circumstances.

(11) Inventory
(a) Classification
Inventories include raw materials, work in progress, finished goods and turnover materials, and are presented at the
lower of cost and net realizable value.
(b) Determination of cost
Cost is determined on the weighted average method. The cost of finished goods and work in progress comprises raw
materials, direct labour and an allocation of all production overhead expenditures incurred based on normal
operating capacity.
(c) The determination of net realizable value and the method of provisions for impairment of inventories
Provisions for declines in the value of inventories are determined at the carrying value of the inventories net of their
net realizable value. Net realizable value is determined based on the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of
business, less the estimated costs to completion and estimated costs necessary to make the sale and relevant taxes.

Turnover materials include low value consumables and packaging materials, which are expensed when issued.
(12) Long-term equity investments
Long-term equity investments include the company‘s long-term equity investments in its subsidiaries.
Subsidiaries are all entities over which the Company is able to control.
Investments in subsidiaries are measured using the cost method in the Company‘s financial statements, and adjusted
by using the equity method when preparing the consolidated financial statements.
(a) Determination of investment cost
For long-term equity investments acquired through a business combination: for long-term equity investments
acquired through a business combination involving enterprises under common control, the investment cost shall be
the absorbing party‘s share of the carrying amount of owners‘ equity of the party being absorbed at the combination
date; for long-term equity investment acquired through a business combination involving enterprises not under
common control, the investment cost shall be the combination cost.
For long-term equity investments acquired not through a business combination: for long-term equity investment
acquired by payment in cash, the initial investment cost shall be the purchase price actually paid; for long-term
equity investment acquired by issuing equity securities, the initial investment cost shall be the fair value of the
equity securities.
(b) Subsequent measurement and recognition of related profits and losses
For long-term equity investments accounted for using the cost method, they are measured at the initial investment
costs, and cash dividends or profits distribution declared by the investees are recognised as investment income in
profits or losses.
For long-term equity investments accounted for using the equity method, where the initial investment cost of a
long-term equity investment exceeds the Group‘s share of the fair value of the investee‘s identifiable net assets at
the acquisition date, the long-term equity investment is measured at the initial investment cost; where the initial
investment cost is less than the share of the Company and its subsidiaries of the fair value of the investee‘s
identifiable net assets at the acquisition date, the difference is included in profits or losses and the cost of the
long-term equity investment is adjusted upwards accordingly.
For long-term equity investments accounted for using the equity method, the Company and its subsidiaries
recognize the investment income according to its share of net profit or loss of the investee. The Company and its

subsidiaries discontinue recognizing its share of net losses of an investee after the carrying amount of the long-term
equity investment together with any long-term interests that, in substance, form part of the investor‘s net investment
in the investee are reduced to zero. However, if the Company and its subsidiaries have obligations for additional
losses and the criteria with respect to recognition of provisions under the accounting standards on contingencies are
satisfied, the Company and its subsidiaries continue recognizing the investment losses and the provisions. For
changes in owners‘ equity of the investee other than those arising from its net profit or loss,other comprehensive
income and profit distribution, the Company and its subsidiaries record its proportionate share directly into capital
surplus, provided that the proportion of the Company and its subsidiaries of shareholding in the investee remains
unchanged. The carrying amount of the investment is reduced by the share of the Company and its subsidiaries of
the profit distribution or cash dividends declared by an investee. The unrealized profits or losses arising from the
intra-group transactions amongst the Company, its subsidiaries and its investees are eliminated in proportion to the
equity of the Company and its subsidiaries interest in the investees, and then based on which the investment gains or
losses are recognised. For the loss on the intra-group transaction amongst the Company, its subsidiaries and its
investees attributable to asset impairment, any unrealized loss is not eliminated.
(c) Basis for determine existence of control, joint control or significant influence over investees
Control is the power to govern the financial and operating policies of the investee so as to obtain benefits from its
operating activities. Joint control is the contractually agreed sharing of control over an economic activity, and exists
only when the strategic financial and operating decisions relating to the activity require the unanimous consent of
the parties sharing control.
Significant influence is the power to participate in the financial and operating policy decisions of the investee, but is
not control or joint control over those policies.
(d) Impairment of long-term equity investments
The carrying amount of long-term equity investments in subsidiaries is reduced to the recoverable amount when the
recoverable amount is less than the carrying amount (Note V(18)).
(13) Investment properties
Investment properties, including land use rights that have already been leased out and buildings that are held for the
purpose of leasing, are measured initially at cost. Subsequent expenditures incurred in relation to an investment
property are included in the cost of the investment property when it is probable that the associated economic benefits

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2017
(All amounts in Renminbi yuan unless otherwise stated)
[English Translation for Reference Only]
will flow to the Group and their costs can be reliably measured; otherwise, the expenditures are recognised in profit
or loss in the period in which they are incurred.
The Company and its subsidiaries adopt the cost model for subsequent measurement of investment properties,
which are depreciated or amortizerd using the straight-line method to allocate the cost of the assets to their estimated
residual values over their estimated useful lives.. The estimated useful lives, the estimated net residual values that
are expressed as a percentage of cost and the annual depreciation (amortisation) rates of investment properties are as
follows:
Annual Depreciation
Items Estimate Useful Lives Estimated residual value
(amortization) Rates
Buildings 20-35 years 5.00% 2.71%-4.75%
Land Use Rights 50 years - 2.00%
When an investment property is transferred to owner-occupied properties, it is reclassified as fixed asset or
intangible asset at the date of the transfer. When an owner-occupied property is transferred out for earning rentals or
for capital appreciation, the fixed asset or intangible asset is reclassified as investment properties at its carrying
amount at the date of the transfer.
The investment property‘s estimated useful life, net residual value and depreciation (amortization) method applied
are reviewed and adjusted as appropriate at each year-end. An investment property is derecognised on disposal or
when the investment property is permanently withdrawn from use and no future economic benefits are expected
from its disposal. The net amount of proceeds from sale, transfer, retirement or damage of an investment property
after its carrying amount and related taxes and expenses is recognised in profit or loss for the current period.
The carrying amount of an investment property is reduced to the recoverable amount if the recoverable amount is
below the carrying amount (Note V(18)).
(14) Fixed assets
(a) Recognition and initial measurement of fixed assets
Fixed assets comprise buildings, machinery and equipment, motor vehicles and office equipment, etc. Fixed assets
are recognized when it is probable that the related economic benefits will flow to the Company and its subsidiaries
and the costs can be reliably measured. Fixed assets purchased or constructed by the Company and its subsidiaries
are initially measured at cost at the acquisition date. Subsequent expenditures incurred for fixed assets are included
WUXI LITTLE SWAN CO., LTD.
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2017
(All amounts in Renminbi yuan unless otherwise stated)
[English Translation for Reference Only]
in the cost of the fixed assets when it is probable that the associated economic benefits will flow to the Company and
its subsidiaries and the related costs can be reliably measured. The carrying amount of the replaced part is
derecognised. All the other subsequent expenditures are recognized in profit or loss in the period in which they are
incurred.
(b) Depreciation method
Depreciation is calculated on the straight-line method to write off the cost of each asset to its residual values over its
estimated useful lives. For fixed asset subject to impairment, depreciation is calculated via writing off the asset‘s
carrying amount net of impairment over its useful life in subsequent periods.
Estimated Estimated residual value Annual depreciation rate
Buildings Straight-line method 20-35 years 5.00% 2.71%-4.75%
Machinery and equipment Straight-line method 10-15 years 5.00% 6.33%-9.50%
Motor vehicles Straight-line method 5 years 5.00% 19%
Office equipment Straight-line method 3-5 years 5.00% 19%-31.67%
(c) The carrying amount of fixed assets is reduced to the recoverable amount when the recoverable amount is less than
the carrying amount (Note V(18)).
(d) Disposal
A fixed asset is derecognized on disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal.
The amount of proceeds on sale, transfer, retirement or damage of a fixed asset net of its carrying amount and related
taxes and expenses is recognized in profit or loss.
(15) Construction in progress
Construction in progress is measured at its actual costs, which includes construction costs, installation costs,
borrowing costs capitalized and other costs necessary to bring construction in progress ready for their intended use.
Construction in progress is transferred to fixed assets when the assets are ready for their intended use, and
depreciation is charged starting from the following month. The carrying amount of construction in progress is
reduced to the recoverable amount when the recoverable amount is less than the carrying amount.
(16) Intangible assets
Intangible assets include land use rights, non-patented technology and computer soft wares, which initially
recognized at cost.

(All amounts in Renminbi yuan unless otherwise stated)
[English Translation for Reference Only]
(a) Land use rights
A land use right granted by government with a infinite useful life would not be amortised whilst it incurs no
acquisition cost. Other land use rights are amortised on the straight-line basis over 50 years. If the acquisition costs
of land use rights and the buildings located thereon cannot be reliably allocated between the land use rights and the
buildings, all of the acquisition costs are recognised as fixed assets.
(b) Non-patented technology
Non-patented technology are amortised on the straight-line basis over the shorter of their useful life/benefit period
stipulated in the agreement or contract and the legal age.
(c) Computer softwares
Computer softwares purchased by the Group are initially measured at cost, which are amortised on the straight-line
over their approved useful period of 3-5 years.
(d) Periodical review of useful life and amortisation method
For an intangible asset with a finite useful life, review of its useful life and amortisation method is performed at each
year-end, with adjustment made as appropriate.
(e) Research and development
The expenditure on an internal research and development project is classified into expenditure on the research phase
and expenditure on the development phase based on its nature and whether there is material uncertainty that the
research and development activities can form an intangible asset at end of the project.
Expenditure for investigation, evaluation and selection of production process researches is recognised in profit or
loss in the period in which it is incurred. Expenditure on the designation, assessment of the final utilization of the
production process before mass production, is capitalised only if all of the following conditions are satisfied:
development of the production process has been fully demonstrated by the technical team;
management has approved the budget of production development;
existed market research analysis suggests that the products produced by the new production technology are
able to be promoted;
adequate technical, financial and other resources to complete the development and subsequent mass production
and the ability to use or sell the intangible asset; and
the expenditure attributable to the intangible asset during its development phase can be reliably measured.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2017
(All amounts in Renminbi yuan unless otherwise stated)
[English Translation for Reference Only]
Other development expenditures that do not meet the conditions above are recognised in profit or loss in the period
in which they are incurred. Development costs previously recognised as expenses are not recognised as an asset in a
subsequent period. Capitalised expenditure on the development phase is presented as development costs in the
balance sheet and transferred to intangible assets at the date that the asset is ready for its intended use.
(f) Impairment of intangible assets
The carrying amount of intangible assets is reduced to the recoverable amount when the recoverable amount is less
than the carrying amount (Note V (18)).
(17) Long-term prepaid expenses
Long-term prepaid expenses include the expenditure for improvements to fixed assets held under operating leases,
and other expenditures that have been incurred but should be recognised as expenses over more than one year in the
current and subsequent periods. Long-term prepaid expenses are amortised on the straight-line basis over the
expected beneficial period and are presented at actual expenditure net of accumulated amortisation.
(18) Impairment of long-term assets
Fixed assets, intangible assets with finite useful lives, investment properties measured using the cost model,
long-term prepaid expense, other non-current assets and long-term equity investments in subsidiaries are tested for
impairment if there is any indication that an asset may be impaired at the balance date. Intangible assets which are
not yet ready to use should be tested at least annually for impairment, irrespective of whether there is any indication
that it may be impaired. If the result of the impairment test indicates that the recoverable amount of the asset is less
than its carrying amount, a provision for impairment and an impairment loss are recognised for the amount by which
the asset‘s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset‘s fair
value less costs to sell and the present value of the future cash flows expected to be derived from the asset. Provision
for asset impairment is determined and recognised on the individual asset basis. If it is not possible to estimate the
recoverable amount of an individual asset, the recoverable amount of a group of assets to which the asset belongs is
determined. A group of assets is the smallest identifiable group of assets that is able to generate independent cash
inflows.
Intangible assets with infinite useful lives are tested at least annually for impairment, irrespective of whether there is
any indication that it may be impaired. Once the above asset impairment loss is recognised, it will not be reversed
for the value recovered in the subsequent periods.

defined contribution pension plans. A defined contribution plan is a pension plan under which the Company and its
subsidiaries pay fixed contributions into a separate entity then the Company and its subsidiaries have no legal or
constructive obligations to pay further contributions. The current and past service cost of the defined benefit plan,
recognised in the income statement in employee benefit expense. The net interest cost is calculated by applying the
discount rate to the net balance of the defined benefit obligation and the fair value of plan assets. This cost is
included in employee benefit expense in the income statement. Actuarial gains and losses arising from experience
adjustments and changes in actuarial assumptions are charged or credited to equity in other comprehensive income
in the period in which they arise. In the reporting period, The Company and its subsidiaries‘s pension obligations
mainly include the basic endowment insurance and unemployment insurance; both belong to the defined
contribution plan.
Pension insurance
Employees of the Group participate in the social pension insurance organized by the local labour and social security
departments. The Group pay pension insurance premium to the pension insurance agency with the local provision of

relevant assets.
(c) Termination benefits
WUXI LITTLE SWAN CO., LTD.
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2017
(All amounts in Renminbi yuan unless otherwise stated)
[English Translation for Reference Only]
Termination benefits are payable when employment is terminated by the Company and its subsidiaries before the
normal retirement date, or whenever an employee accepts voluntary redundancy in exchange for these benefits. the
Company and its subsidiaries recognises termination benefits into current period profits and losses at the earlier of
the following dates, when the Group can no longer withdraw the offer of those benefits and when the entity
recognises costs related to restructuring.
(d) Retirement benefits
The Company and its subsidiaries provide termination benefits to employees who accept voluntary redundancy in
exchange for these benefits. Termination benefits are the payments of wages or salaries and social insurance for the
employees who accept termination plan before the normal retire age. The termination benefits plan covers the period
from the starting date of termination benefit plan to the normal retire age. When the Group terminates the
employment relationship with employees before the end of the employment contract, a provision for termination
benefits for the compensation arising from termination of the employment relationship with employees to the retire
age is recognised with a corresponding change to profit or loss. The difference from change of actuarial assumptions
and adjustment on benefit is recognised in the current profits and losses.
Retirement benefits falling due within a year are reclassified as current liabilities.
(20) Dividend distribution
Cash dividends distribution is recognised as a liability in the period in which it is approved by the annual
shareholders‘ meeting.
(21) Provisions
Provisions for product warranties, onerous contracts etc. are recognised when the Group has a present obligation, it
is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation, and the amount of the
obligation can be measured reliably.
A provision is initially measured at the best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the related present
obligation. Factors surrounding a contingency, such as the risks, uncertainties and the time value of money, are
taken into account as a whole in reaching the best estimate of a provision. Where the effect of the time value of
money is material, the best estimate is determined by discounting the related future cash outflows. The increase in
the discounted amount of the provision arising from passage of time is recognised as interest expense.
The carrying amount of provisions is reviewed at each balance sheet date and adjusted to reflect the current best

estimate.
The provisions expected to be settled within one year since the balance sheet date are classified as current liabilities.
(22) Share-based payment
(a) Type of share-based payment
Share-based payment is a transaction in which the entity acquires services from employees as consideration for
equity instruments of the entity or by incurring liabilities for amounts based on the equity instruments. Equity
instruments include equity instruments of the Company, its parent company or other accounting entities of the
Group. Share-based payments are divided into equity-settled and cash-settled payments. The Group‘s share-based
payments are equity-settled payments. Equity-settled share-based payment The Group‘s stock optionstock option
plan is the equity-settled share-based payment in exchange of employees' services and is measured at the fair value
of the equity instruments at grant date. The equity instruments are exercisable after services in vesting period are
completed or specified performance conditions are met. In the vesting period, the services obtained in current period
are included in relevant cost and expenses at the fair value of the equity instruments at grant date based on the best
estimate of the number of exercisable equity instruments, and capital surplus is increased accordingly. If the
subsequent information indicates the number of exercisable equity instruments differs from the previous estimate,
an adjustment is made and, on the exercise date, the estimate is revised to equal the number of actual vested equity
instruments. On the exercise date, the recognised amount calculated based on the number of exercised equity
instruments is transferred into share capital.
(b) Determination of the fair value of equity instruments
The Group determines the fair value of stock optionstock options using option pricing model, which is Black -
Scholes option pricing model.
(c) Basis for determining best estimate of exercisable equity instruments
At the end of each reporting period, the Group revises its estimates of the number of options that are expected to vest
based on the non-marketing performance and service conditions. On the exercise date, the final number of estimated
exercisable equity instruments is consistent with the number of exercised equity instruments.
(d) Accounting treatment related to the exercise of stock optionstock options
When the options are exercised on the exercise date, capital and capital surplus are recognized an dat the same time,
carried forward to share premium recognized in the vesting period.

(25) Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities
WUXI LITTLE SWAN CO., LTD.
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2017
(All amounts in Renminbi yuan unless otherwise stated)
[English Translation for Reference Only]
Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are calculated and recognised based on the differences arising
between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts (temporary differences). Deferred tax asset
is recognised for the deductible losses that can be carried forward to subsequent years for deduction of the taxable
profit in accordance with the tax laws. No deferred tax asset or deferred tax liability is recognised for the temporary
differences resulting from the initial recognition of assets or liabilities due to a transaction other than a business
combination, which affects neither accounting profit nor taxable profit (or deductible loss). At the balance sheet date,
deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period
when the asset is realised or the liability is settled.
Deferred tax assets are only recognised for deductible temporary differences, deductible losses and tax credits to the
extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available in the future against which the deductible temporary
differences, deductible losses and tax credits can be utilised.
Deferred tax liabilities are recognized for temporary differences arising from investments in subsidiaries, unless 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. When it is probable that the temporary differences
arising from investments in subsidiaries will be reversed in the foreseeable future and that the taxable profit will be
available in the future against which the temporary differences can be utilized, the corresponding deferred tax assets
are recognized.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when:
The deferred taxes are relate to the same tax payer within the Group and the same taxation authority, and;
That tax payer has a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets against current tax liabilities
(26) Leases
A lease that transfers substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of an asset is a finance lease. An
operating lease is a lease other than a finance lease.
Lease payments under an operating lease are recognised on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease, and are
either capitalised as part of the cost of related assets, or charged as an expense for the current period.
Rental income from an operating lease is recognised on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease.
(27) Segment information
The Company and its subsidiaries identify operating segments based on the internal organisation structure,
WUXI LITTLE SWAN CO., LTD.
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2017
(All amounts in Renminbi yuan unless otherwise stated)
[English Translation for Reference Only]
management requirements and the internal reporting system, and discloses segment information of reportable
segments determined on the basis of operating segments.
An operating segment is a component of the Company and its subsidiaries that satisfies all of the following
conditions:
(a) the component is able to earn revenues and incur expenses from its ordinary activities.
(b) whose operating results are regularly reviewed by the Group‘s management to make decisions about
resources to be allocated to the segment and to assess its performance.
(c) for which the information on financial position, operating results and cash flows is available to the Group. If
two or more operating segments have similar economic characteristics, and satisfy certain conditions, they are
aggregated into a single operating segment.
(28) Critical accounting estimates and judgements
The Group continually evaluates the critical accounting estimates and key judgements applied based on historical
experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the
circumstances. The critical accounting estimates and key assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a
material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next accounting year are outlined
below:
(a) Sales rebates
The Company and its subsidiaries apply the rebating policies with deals, large-scale chain supermarkets and
e-business platform. The amount of the rebates is estimated periodically taking into account related sales contracts,
examination of particular transactions, historical experiences, market environment, inventory stock and the agreed
indicator of particular customers. As it determined by the judgement and estimation of management, there is a
possibility that changes in the estimation will have significant effect on the provision of sales rebates of the period
when the changes occurred.
(b) Income taxes
The Group is subject to income taxes in numerous jurisdictions. There are some transactions and events for which
the ultimate tax determination is uncertain during the ordinary course of business. Significant judgement is
required from the Group in determining the provision for income taxes in each of these jurisdictions. Where the
final tax outcome of these matters is different from the amounts that were initially recorded, such differences will

XII. Fair value disclosure
(1) Closing balance of assets and liabilities measured at fair value

hierarchy has the following levels:
Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2017
(All amounts in Renminbi yuan unless otherwise stated)
[English Translation for Reference Only]
Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included within level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability,
either directly (that is, as prices) or indirectly (that is, derived from prices).
Level 3: Inputs for the assets or liabilities that are not based on observable market data (that is,unobservable
inputs).
The fair value of a financial instrument that is traded in an active market is determined at the quoted price in
the active market. The fair value of a financial instrument for which the market is not active is determined by
using a valuation technique. Valuation techniques include cash flow discount model and market comparable
company model. The input of valuation techniques mainly include risk free rate, expected exchange rate,
estimated annual yield, etc.

Financial assets and liabilities measured at amortized cost mainly include: notes receivable, accounts
receivable, other current assets-structured deposits, other receivables, notes payable, accounts payable, other
payables and other current liabilities.
Available-for-sale financial assets measured in cost model are investments on shares of unlisted companies,
which have no quoted price in the active market and the range of reasonable estimation of their fair value is
relatively wide and probabilities used to determine the estimation cannot be ascertained reasonably. Therefore, the
fair values cannot be measured reliably.
The carrying amount of financial assets and liabilities not measured at fair value is a reasonable approximation of
their fair value at 31 December 2017 and 31 December 2016.
