Our business faced more challenges in 2018 than in any previous years. The Company wasmore cautious and conservative on sales strategy than any previous year and put more emphasis onshort-term risk management. However, the Company remains upbeat about growth in the domesticand overseas markets in the years ahead. We actively explored business development opportunitiesin both domestic and foreign markets, and continued to increase investment in product research anddevelopment (R&D) and marketing.
In 2018, the Company stepped up the development of its AI Cloud software platform andfacilitated the adoption of AI Cloud. In the era of AI, artificial intelligence is everywhere. We seeopportunities arising from demand for perceptual AI, and recognize the difficulties in meeting thefragmented demand for perceptual AI applications.

This document is a translated version of the Chinese version 2018 Annual Report (“2018年年度报告”), and the published announcements in the Chinese version shall prevail. The completepublished Chinese 2018 Annual Report may be obtained at www.cninfo.com.cn.
Please read the annual report and pay particular attention to the following risk factors:
1) Risk of technology upgrade: Technologies such as artificial intelligence, big data, cloud computing, and
edge computing are developing rapidly, and technology diffusion is faster. If the Company cannot follow thechanges in the cutting-edge technologies, or fail to realize the business innovation rapidly, the risks of futuredevelopment uncertainties will increase.
2) Domestic macro-economy fluctuation risk: The Company's domestic business is closely related to the
investment needs of the government, enterprises and institutions. The Company adjusts its business strategyin response to the changing domestic demands. If the domestic macro-economy continues to decline, theindustry demand will shrink. The Company's development will face great pressure; and difficulties and risksin business operation will increase.
3) Trade protectionism risks in developed countries: The trend of unilateralism and trade protection in some
of the countries is obviously rising. If the trend of reverse globalization is aggravated, it will affect theCompany's business expansion and brand upgrading in overseas developed markets.4) Risk of global market expansion: The Company’s business covers more than 150 countries and regions
worldwide. If various situations such as foreign exchange rate fluctuation, debt problem, declining purchasingpower, or political conflict occur in the country where our business is carried out, there might be adverseimpact on the Company’s business development.5) Risk of internal management: The continual expansion of business scale, the continuous increase of new
products and new businesses, the sustained growth in total number of employees and the significant rise ofinternal management complexity have posed challenges to the Company’s management work and raisedhigher requirements on the Company's management team. The Company’s sustainable development will facecertain risks if the management level fails to match up with the Company’s business expansion.
6) Legal compliance risk: The world's multilateral trading system is facing an impact. The local laws and
regulations that business activities need to comply with are more complicated. The regulation of dataworldwide is becoming stricter, and the compliance review of business is becoming more important. If theCompany's legal compliance ability cannot keep up with the situation, it will bring risks to the Company'soperations.
7) Risk of cybersecurity: The Company has always attached importance and taken active measures to enhance
cybersecurity performance of our products and systems, However, with any Internet-connected device, thereis still a possibility of deliberate attempts,including computer viruses, malicious software, hacker and similardisruptions to damage our systems or products, causing the cybersecurity issues.
8) Risk of exchange rate fluctuation: The Company carries out operations in various countries and regions
with different currencies. The risk of exchange rate mainly comes from foreign exchange exposures arisingout of sales, purchase and financing that not settled in RMB (mainly in USD) as well as the exchange ratefluctuations, which may probably affect the profitability level of the Company.9) Risk of intellectual property (IP) rights: The Company continues to maintain the relative large scale of
R&D investment, and produces considerable technical achievements, and at the same time, implementswell-organized intellectual property right (IPR) protection measures. However, the risk of intellectualproperty disputes and the risk of intellectual property rights violations still exist.
The above notices might not be all-inclusive of all other potential risks, please pay attention to the potentialinvestment risks

Section III Corporate Business Summary
I. The principal business of the Company during the reporting period
1. Main Business and industry position
Hikvision is a provider of video-centered intelligent IoT (Internet of Things) solution and big data services.Global research firm IHS Markit has ranked Hikvision as global No. 1 in the video surveillance industry for sevenconsecutive years, with 22.6 percent
of the global video surveillance market share. In the "A&S Security 50" listpublished by A&S Security Automation, Hikvision has been ranked No.1 in the world for three consecutive years.
In 2016, Hikvision integrated deep learning algorithm into products, and launched a full range of deeplearning and intelligent product families that integrate intelligent analysis capabilities throughout the entireprocess from information gathering to storage application. In 2017, Hikvision led the intelligent application trendbased on the fusion of cloud and edge computing architectures, innovatively launching the three-tier AI Cloudarchitecture of edge node, edge domain and cloud center, and vigorously promoting the development andapplication of AI (artificial intelligence) in the IoT field. In 2018, based on the fusion of cloud and edgecomputing architectures, Hikvision deepened and integrated the AI Cloud product line with "Two Pools, OneLibrary and Four Platforms"
and proposed the AI Cloud data architecture with the fusion of IoT and InformationNetworks. During the implementation of the business, the Company focused on solving the scenario-based andfragmented AI application and the difficulties in the implementation of user needs, unified the softwarearchitecture internally and promoted the open integration strategy externally, and changed and restructured theinternal organizational structure to match the business changes. Hikvision has laid a solid foundation for thearrival of the intelligent era.2. Technology Accumulation and Innovation
2.1 Technical Architecture Overview
The interconnection of all things is the cradle of the concept of the Internet of Things, which depicts a
Based on the global video surveillance market report published by IHS Markit in June 2018, with the 2017 data as the statistical basis.
Refers to “Computing Resource Pool, Data Resource Pool, Algorithm Warehouse, Data Resource Platform, Intelligent ApplicationPlatform, Resource Scheduling Platform, Operation and Service Platform.
broader scene for human beings after the Internet era. However, how to make objects see, listen, read and writelike humans? How to make objects respond intellectually? And how to make the interconnection between thingsintegrate into human beings’ production and living environment to truly form a meridian system? The applicationof deep learning drives the combination of artificial intelligence and the perceptual information of objects such asvideo, audio and text, and gives objects intelligence, making it possible for the objects to respond intellectually.When intelligent objects are interconnected into a network, the intelligent Internet of Things is created. At present,the scale and scope of intelligent IoT is expanding, no longer limited to homes, production lines, buildings, etc.The intelligent IoT is a new infrastructure of the intelligence era.
From the perspective of computing, computing architecture with the fusion of cloud and edge is required inthe intelligent era. The fusion of cloud and edge computing is a computing architecture that conforms tointelligent IoT applications and is the allocation method of computing resources that Hikvision adopts andadvocates. On one hand, even if cloud computing power is strong enough, some data only needs to be locallyprocessed and applied, and does not need to be transmitted to the cloud for processing. On the other hand, thescale of the intelligent IoT is so large that it is unrealistic for all data to be transmitted to the cloud for processing,and the growth of bandwidth will not be able to keep up with the growth of IoT data. For example, for video cloud,a current topic in the industry, there is basically no video processed in the cloud, but mainly structured data
, smallvideos and images that are processed by edge computing.
Hikvision's AI Cloud computing architecture can be summarized as "the fusion of cloud and edgecomputing" and consists of edge nodes, edge domains and cloud centers. Edge nodes and edge domains arelocated in the intelligent IoT and make full use of edge computing capabilities; and cloud centers are located inthe intelligent IoT or information networks to form cross-network cloud computing capabilities. Edge nodes focuson collection of multi-dimensional perception data and front-end intelligent applications; edge domains focus onaggregation of perception data and intelligent applications; and cloud centers focus on cross-network data fusionand macro comprehensive applications.
Structured data: Data that is logically expressed and implemented by a two-dimensional table structure, strictly following the dataformat and length specifications, and is mainly stored and managed through a database.
From the perspective of data, the data in the intelligent IoT cannot be well used by the information systemand by users until it is organized according to the models required by the information network and fused in theinformation network. The intelligent IoT is closely fused with various information networks such as the Internetand industry information networks to truly realize a full interaction with humans. The connection betweenintelligent objects and information systems is the fusion of IoT and information Networks, which will open thedata channel between the intelligent IoT and information networks; it is also the meridian system of data in theintelligent era. The fusion of IoT and information networks is the data architecture suitable for applications underintelligent IoT and information network and the data organization form that Hikvision AI Cloud complies withand advocates.
Hikvision AI Cloud's data architecture can be summarized as “the fusion of IoT and information networks",which supports resource governance, data governance, data fusion, data services, and data applications across theintelligent IoT and information networks. The main capabilities of AI Cloud Data Fusion Platform can besummarized as horizontal cross-network fusion, vertical cross-layer convergence, dual-network three-typeapplications, and data security protection.
Horizontal cross-network fusion: First, regarding data source governance, it is necessary to solve thequality problem of intelligent IoT data source. Second, for intelligent analysis, it is necessary to use artificialintelligence to transform IoT data into easy-to-understand data such as people, places, things and objects in theinformation network. Third, on IoT data services, it is necessary to send the data to information networks forfusion with other data while supporting intelligent applications of IoT. Finally, in respect to converged datagovernance, it is necessary to organize the data according to the theme library
, topic library
, tag library orrelationship library, and then provides converged data services to support the development of information networkdata applications.
Vertical cross-layer convergence: Hikvision provides data platform cascading function to support theupward on-demand data convergence in both the intelligent IoT and information networks.
Dual-network three-type applications: In the intelligent IoT and information networks, three types ofapplications may be developed based on the intelligent application platform: single-scene applications,cross-scene applications, and comprehensive applications.
Theme Library: a business subject - oriented database.
Topic Library: a database addressing a certain professional application.
Data security protection: In the AI Cloud Data Fusion Platform, Hikvision focuses on data protection fromfour angles: data collection, transmission and storage, data services, and data applications. Data security isprotected at four levels: development and testing, delivery and implementation, data governance, and operationand maintenance.
The number of IoT devices worldwide will exceed 20 billion by the year 2020
. The intelligent IoT will becharacterized by larger number of terminals, more diverse terminal types, more powerful terminal performance,more complex network architecture, more extensive data content, and more diverse business applications.Therefore, it is necessary to strengthen data security protection and privacy protection at multiple levels such asterminal, network, data, platform services, and applications.2.2 AI Cloud Software and Hardware Platforms
2.2.1 AI Cloud Software Products
Hikvision firmly believes that the AI Cloud architecture is a reasonable solution to the fusion and applicationof intelligent IoT and information network. In 2018, Hikvision fully released software products of "two pools, onelibrary and four platforms" based on the AI Cloud architecture by implementing the "cloud-edge fusion"computing architecture, and continuously deepened the implementation of the "IoT-information network fusion"data architecture in practice, and further integrated the "two pools, one library and four platforms" into an “AICloud Data Fusion Platform", continuously consolidating the layout in AI, big data and application areas andleading the market through technological innovation and product innovation.

Based on the scenario-based and fragmented characteristics of intelligent application, we believe that openintegration is the development trend of the video industry and will become a new business format in the era ofintelligence. In order to achieve open integration, Hikvision established a complete open system.
The demand for AI in the real economy is very strong and the application of AI has emerged in largenumbers in a scenario-based and fragmented manner. AI applications require many conditions such as data,algorithm, computing power, products and application systems; therefore, it is difficult to implement theapplications in the real economy. In order to build an open and shared AI industry ecological environment andhelp the implementation of AI, Hikvision launched the AI open platform to provide complete services fromdemand mining to application release and to help industries to upgrade.
The AI open platform has two purposes. The first purpose is to help customers with zero algorithm basis todevelop their industry's intelligent algorithms; the open platform incorporates a number of cutting-edgetechnologies and has three major characteristics:
1) It utilizes virtual data engine
, transfer learning
, incremental learning
, and other technologies, and can
Nine small places refer to small schools or kindergartens, small hospitals, small stores, small restaurants, small hotels, smallrecreational bars and clubs, small Internet bars, small beauty salons or bathhouses, and small production and processing enterprises.
Virtual data engine: generates image data through 3D modeling, ray tracing, adversarial learning and other approaches; its visualeffects are close to those of on-site collection.
quickly generate AI algorithms that meet scenario-based demands, based on a small amount of data;2) Algorithm training, compilation, optimization and deployment are all automatically implemented, and the
platform provides one-stop services to customers with zero algorithm basis. The platform can be combined
with Hikvision's application systems to solve the "last mile" problem of AI visual perception applications,
and implement continued collection of data and loop iterative optimization of algorithm model under
production environment; and3) Based on Hikvision's hardware foundation, the platform can easily build intelligent products with powerful
sensing capabilities.
The second purpose is to help AI practitioners to have their own intelligent hardware products and solutions.The large-scale implementation of AI technology in China's real economy requires a large number of AIpractitioners to carry out continuous mass innovation with mass wisdom. However, AI practitioners often lack thesuitable products to carry their algorithms in the current time. For this reason, Hikvision has opened a full range offront-end and back- end AI hardware products to help AI practitioners realize their AI functions and solutions.
Our open systems for equipment include:
Transfer learning is a learning method for robots, enabling a robot to apply the knowledge and techniques learned from formertasks to new tasks.
Incremental learning refers to learning new knowledge by a learning system from new samples, storing most of the knowledge ithas learned and overcoming catastrophic losses of memory. The system does not have to visit original data, and is able to enhance itsperformance on an overall data set merely by learning new data.
1) Hikvision equipment operating system, which provides various basic capabilities of the equipmentincluding image processing, coding and decoding, storage and transmission;
2) Integrated development kit, which opens the equipment's AI computing resources based on the containertechnology, enabling users to integrate their own algorithms on the product; and

As per the code of ethics ofChinese certified public accountants, we are independent from Hikvision and have implemented otherresponsibilities as required by the code of ethics. We believe that the audit evidence we have acquiredis sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.
III. Key Matters
Key matters are matters we deem the most significant to the financial statements audit for the currentperiod based on our professional judgment. These matters are handled based on the financialstatements audit as a whole and the audit opinion formed accordingly. We don’t present opinionsseparately on these matters. We confirm that the following matters are key matters to be communicatedthrough in the audit report.
(I) Recognition of Sales Revenues
Description:
As shown in Note (V) (37) and Note (XIV) (1), the operating revenue in 2018 in the consolidatedfinancial statements of the Group for the year ended December 31
st
2018 is RMB 49,837.13 million.The product sales revenue, a key performance indicator, reaches RMB 47,552.07 million, accountingfor 95.41% of the operating revenue, which is a significant amount and has a significant influence onresults of operations. The product sales revenue models include internal and external sales of products,etc. There may be relevant risks of revenue recognition, as the point in time at which risks and rewardsare transferred is different under different revenue models. Therefore, we treat sales revenueoccurrence and cutoff as key audit matters.
Audit Measures:
Main audit procedures that we perform for the aforesaid key audit matters include:
(1) Understanding and evaluating design and implementation of key internal control in relation to
revenue recognition, and testing the effectiveness of its operation;
(2) For revenues under different sales models, selecting a sample to check a sales contract, reviewing
its main transaction terms, evaluating whether revenue recognition complies with requirements ofaccounting policies of the Group and the Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises;conducting a background investigation of important customers to check whether there is anyindication of existence of abnormal customers or transactions;
(3) Analyzing revenues and gross profits, based on product types, to understand whether there are
abnormal fluctuations in the revenues and gross profits for the year, and conducting a test of detailsfor identified specific transactions, through systematic analysis of revenue data, and reviewingrelevant supporting documents;
(4) Selecting sample(s) from product sales revenues recorded for the year, checking invoices, sales
contracts or orders, shipping orders, signature forms or customs declarations and other supportingdocuments; carrying out an additional check of sample(s) under the selected external sales modelfor customs declaration records; critically focusing on occurrence of sales revenue recognition andwhether they are recorded in the correct accounting period.
(5) Sampling review the sales revenue of products for a certain period before the end of the year, check
the relevant supporting documents, and confirm whether the sales revenue is booked in the correctaccounting period.
(II) Provision for Decline in Value of Inventories
Description:
As shown in Note (V) (6), as of December 31
st
2018, the carrying amount of inventories in theconsolidated financial statements of the Group was RMB 5,842.85 million (excluding completed butunsettled assets formed by construction contracts), and the provision for diminution in value ofinventories was RMB 321.61 million. The carrying value of the Group’s inventories is relatively high,so the provision for diminution in value of inventories has a relatively significant influence on thefinancial statements. As shown in Note (III) 11.3 and Note (III) 26 to the financial statements,
inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value, on the balance sheet date. Theprovision for impairment of inventories is made when the net realizable value is lower than the cost.Net realizable value is the estimated selling price for inventories less estimated costs of completion tobe incurred, estimated costs to make the sale and relevant taxes. As the management needs to usecritical accounting estimates in determining the net realizable value of inventories and the amount issignificant, we treat the provision for diminution in value of inventories as a key audit matter.
Audit Measures
Main audit procedures that we perform for the aforesaid key audit matters include:
(1) Understanding and evaluating design and implementation of key internal control in relation to
provision for diminution in value of inventories by the Company’s management, and testing theeffectiveness of its operation;
(2) Understanding the Group’s accounting policies for the provision for diminution in value of
inventories, evaluating whether identification of inventories by the management for which theprovision for diminution in value of inventories should be made is appropriate, and evaluating thereasonableness of the estimated net realizable value by the management;
(3) Testing the completeness and accuracy of data in the list of inventories for which the provision for
diminution in value of inventories should be made, based on which the Company’s managementestimates the provision for diminution in value of inventories, and recalculating the provision fordiminution in value of inventories;
(4) Selecting sample(s) from inventories to test the net realizable value. For the finished product selected
as a sample, comparing the book cost of the finished product with recent or subsequent actual sellingprice; for raw materials and unfinished products selected as samples, comparing costs of completionfor the same type of raw materials and unfinished products and costs to make the sale for the period,and evaluating the reasonableness of estimated cost of completion to be incurred, costs to make thesale and relevant taxes;
(5) Performing the supervision and selective examination procedure for inventory-taking of the Group,
with focus on defective, obsolete or slow-moving inventories, and checking whether there areinventories with an indication of impairment which are not recorded.
IV. Other Information
Management of Hikvision shall be responsible for other information. Other information includes theinformation covered in the annual report, excluding the financial statements and our audit report.
Our audit opinion on the financial statements does not cover other information and we do not expressany form of authentication conclusion on other information.
In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read other informationand to consider whether other information is significantly misstated or materially inconsistent with thefinancial statements or the information we learned during the audit.
Based on the works we have performed, if we determine that there is a material misstatement in otherinformation, we should report the fact. In this respect, we have nothing to report.
V. Responsibility of the Management and Governance for the Financial Statements
The management of Hikvision is responsible for the preparation of financial statements in accordancewith Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises to achieve fair presentation, and design,implementation and maintenance of necessary internal control to enable the financial statements arefree from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
When preparing the financial statements, the management is responsible for assessing thegoing-concern ability of Hikvision, disclosing issues related to going-concern as applicable, andapplying going-concern assumptions, unless the management plans to liquidate Hikvision, terminateoperation or has no other realistic choice.
The governance is responsible for supervising financial reporting processes of Hikvision.
VI. Responsibility of Certified Public Accountants on Audit of the Financial Statements
Our objective is to obtain reasonable assurance as to whether the overall financial statements are freefrom material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue audit report that contain auditopinions. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but could not guarantee that an auditperformed in accordance with the Auditing Standards can always figure out any existing materialmisstatements. Misstatements may be caused by fraud or error. Misstatement is generally considered tobe material if it is reasonably expected that the misstatement, alone or aggregated, may affect the users’financial decisions based on the financial statements.
In performing the audit in accordance with the Auditing Standards, we applied professional judgmentand maintained professional skepticism. Meanwhile, we also perform the following duties:
(1) Identify and evaluate the risk of material misstatement of financial statements due to fraud or
error; design and implement audit procedures to cope with these risks, and obtain adequateand appropriate audit evidence as the basis for expressing audit opinions. As fraud mayinvolve collusion, forgery, willful omission, misrepresentation or override of internal control,the risk of not discovering a material misstatement due to fraud is higher than the risk of notdiscovering a material misstatement due to error.
(2) Understand the internal control related to auditing as a way to design appropriate audit
procedures. However, the purpose is not to comment on the effectiveness of internal controls.
(3) Evaluate the properness of accounting policy selected by the management and the rationality of
accounting estimate and related disclosure.
(4) Reach a conclusion on whether the going concern assumption adopted by the management is
appropriate. Meanwhile, based on the audit evidence obtained, reach a conclusion on whetherthere are material uncertainties in the events or conditions that may cast significant doubts onHikvision's ability to continue as a going concern. If we reach a conclusion that there is amaterial uncertainty, the Auditing Standards require us to call the attention of the users of thereport to the relevant disclosures in the financial statements in the audit report. If the disclosureis insufficient, we should issue modified audit opinions. Our conclusion is based on theinformation available up to the date of the audit report. However, future events or conditionsmay result in the failure of Hikvision to continue as a going concern.
(5) Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content (including the disclosure) of the financial
statements and evaluate whether the financial statements fairly reflect the related transactionsand events.
(6) Obtain adequate and appropriate audit evidence on the financial information of entity or business
activities of Hikvision so as to express audit opinions on the financial statements. We areresponsible for directing, supervising and executing the audit on the Group, and assume fullresponsibility for the audit opinions.
We communicated with the governance about the scope of the audit, the schedule and major auditfindings, including the notable shortcomings of internal control identified during the auditing.
We also provide statement to the governance on the independence-related work ethics we follow, andcommunicate with the governance on all relations and other matters that might be reasonably deemedto influence our independence as well as relevant precautionary measures (as applicable).
We determine which of the matters we communicated with the governance are of the greatestimportance to the audit of financial statements of the current period so as to make them key matters.We describe the matters in the audit report. We decide not to communicate on such matters in the auditreport unless the laws and regulations forbid the public disclosure of such matters, or, in rarecircumstances, if the negative consequence of communication of matters in the audit report isreasonably expected to exceed the benefit of the public interest.

accordance with the measurements basis of historical costs. If the asset decreases in value, the provisionfor impairment of assets should be made according to relevant regulations.
According to the historical cost measurement, the assets shall be measured as per the amount of cash orcash equivalent paid at the time of purchase, or the fair value of consideration paid for the purchase ofsuch assets. The liabilities shall be measured in accordance with the amount of funds or assets actuallyreceived when undertaking current obligations, or the contract amount when undertaking the currentobligations, or the amount of cash or cash equivalents required for paying back the debts in dailyactivities.
The fair value is a price received by the market participants from selling asset or transferring liabilityduring orderly transaction at the measurement date. No matter the fair value is observable or estimated byusing valuation technique, the measured and disclosed fair value in the financial statement shall bedetermined on this basis.
When measuring non-financial assets at fair value, the assets shall be measured considering the ability ofmarket participants to use the assets for optimal use to generate economic benefits, or to sell the assets toother market participants to use the assets for optimal use to generate economic benefits.
For the financial assets measured with transaction price at the initial recognition, and the use of valuationtechniques involving unobservable inputs in the subsequent fair value measurement, the valuationtechnique is corrected in the valuation process in order to make the initial recognition results confirmedby valuation techniques equal to the transaction price.
Based on the observable extent of the input value of the fair value, and the importance of such input valueto the fair value measurement, the fair value measurement is divided into three levels:
? Level 1: The input value is the unadjusted offer of the same assets or liabilities on active marketacquired on measurement date;? Level 2: The input value is the input value of relevant assets or liabilities observable directly orindirectly in addition to level 1 input value;? Level 3: The input value is the non-observable input value of relevant assets or liabilities.

5. The accounting treatment of business combinations involving enterprises under common controland business combinations not involving enterprises under common controlBusiness combinations are classified into business combinations involving enterprises under commoncontrol and business combinations not involving enterprises under common control.
5.1 Business combinations involving enterprises under common control
A business combination involving enterprises under common control is a business combination in whichall of the combining enterprises are ultimately controlled by the same party or parties both before andafter the combination, and that control is not transitory.
Assets and liabilities obtained shall be measured at their respective carrying amounts as recorded by thecombining entities at the date of the combination. The difference between the carrying amount of the netassets obtained and the carrying amount of the consideration paid for the combination (the aggregate facevalue of shares issued as consideration) is adjusted to the share premium in capital reserve. If the sharepremium is not sufficient to absorb the difference, any excess shall be adjusted against retained earnings.
Costs that are directly attributable to the combination are charged to profit or loss in the period in whichthey are incurred.
5.2 Business combinations not involving enterprises under common control and goodwill
A business combination not involving enterprises under common control is a business combination inwhich all of the combining enterprises are not ultimately controlled by the same party or parties beforeand after the combination.
The cost of combination is the aggregate of the fair values, at the acquisition date, of the assets given,liabilities incurred or assumed, and equity securities issued by the acquirer in exchange for control of theacquiree. The intermediary expenses incurred by the acquirer in respect of auditing, legal services,
Notes to Financial StatementsFor the reporting period from January 1
st
2018 to December 31
st
2018
valuation and consultancy services, etc. and other associated administrative expenses attributable to thebusiness combination are recognized in profit or loss when they are incurred.
The acquiree’s identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities, acquired by the acquirer in abusiness combination, that meet the recognition criteria shall be measured at fair value at the acquisitiondate.
Where the cost of combination exceeds the acquirer’s interest in the fair value of the acquiree’sidentifiable net assets, the difference is treated as an asset and recognized as goodwill, which is measuredat cost on initial recognition. Where the cost of combination is less than the acquirer’s interest in the fairvalue of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets, the acquirer firstly reassesses the measurement of the fairvalues of the acquiree’s identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities and measurement of thecost of combination. If after that reassessment, the cost of combination is still less than the acquirer’sinterest in the fair value of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets, the acquirer recognizes the remainingdifference immediately into profit or loss for the current period.
Goodwill arising on a business combination is measured at cost less accumulated impairment losses, andis presented separately in the consolidated financial statements.
6. Preparation method of consolidated financial statements
6.1 Preparation method of consolidated financial statements
The scope of consolidated financial statements shall be confirmed based on the control. Control rightmeans that an investor may control an investee; the investor may participate in relevant activities of theinvestee to obtain variable rewards and also be able to use the control rights for the investee to influenceits amount of returns. The Group will re-evaluate, if the change of the relevant facts and circumstancesleading to the change of the relevant elements involved in the above definition of control.
The merger of subsidiary starts from the Group obtaining the control power of the subsidiary, andterminates when the Group loses the control power of the subsidiary.
As for subsidiaries disposed by the Group, operating results and cash flow prior to the disposal date (thedate of losing control right) have been properly included in the consolidated profit statement andconsolidated cash flow statement.
For a subsidiary acquired through a business combination not involving enterprises under commoncontrol, the operating results and cash flows from the acquisition date (the date when control is obtained)are included in the consolidated income statement and consolidated statement of cash flows.
No matter when the business combination occurs in the reporting period, subsidiaries acquired through abusiness combination involving enterprises under common control are included in the Group's scope ofconsolidation as if they had been included in the scope of consolidation from the date when they first
Notes to Financial StatementsFor the reporting period from January 1
st
2018 to December 31
st
2018
came under the common control of the ultimate controlling party. Their operating results and cash flowsfrom the beginning of the earliest reporting period are included in the consolidated income statement andconsolidated statement of cash flows, as appropriate.
The significant accounting policies and accounting periods adopted by the subsidiaries are determinedbased on the uniform accounting policies and accounting periods set out by the Company.
All significant intra-group balances and transactions are eliminated on consolidation.
The portion of subsidiaries' equity that is not attributable to the Company is treated as minority interestsand presented as "minority equity" in the consolidated balance sheet. The portion of net profits or lossesof subsidiaries for the period attributable to minority interests is presented as "minority interests" in theconsolidated income statement below the "net profit" line item.
When the amount of loss for the period attributable to the minority shareholders of a subsidiary exceedsthe minority shareholders' portion of the opening balance of owners' equity of the subsidiary, the excessamount are still allocated against minority interests.
Acquisition of minority interests or disposal of interest in a subsidiary that does not result in the loss ofcontrol over the subsidiary is accounted for as equity transactions. The carrying amounts of the totalowners' equity attributable to owner of the Company and minority equity are adjusted to reflect thechanges in their relative interests in the subsidiary. The difference between the amount by which theminority interests are adjusted and the fair value of the consideration paid or received is adjusted tocapital reserve under owners' equity. If the capital reserve is not sufficient to absorb the difference, theexcess are adjusted against retained earnings.
7. Recognition criteria of cash and cash equivalents
Cash comprises cash on hand and deposits that can be readily withdrawn on demand. Cash equivalentsare the Group's short-term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts ofcash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.
8. Conversion of transactions and financial statements denominated in foreign currencies.
8.1 Transactions denominated in foreign currencies
A foreign currency transaction is recorded, on initial recognition, by applying an exchange rate thatapproximates the actual spot exchange rate on the date of transaction; The exchange rate thatapproximates the actual spot exchange rate on the date of transaction is calculated according to themiddle price of market exchange rate at the beginning of the month in which the transaction happened.

At the balance sheet date, foreign currency monetary items are translated into [RMB] using the spotexchange rates at the balance sheet date. Exchange differences arising from the differences between thespot exchange rates prevailing at the balance sheet date and those on initial recognition or at the previousbalance sheet date are recognized in profit or loss for the period, except for exchange differences relatedto a specific-purpose borrowing denominated in foreign currency that qualify for capitalization arecapitalized as part of the cost of the qualifying asset during the capitalization period.
When the consolidated financial statements include foreign operation(s), if there is foreign currencymonetary item constituting a net investment in a foreign operation, exchange difference arising fromchanges in exchange rates are recognized as "exchange differences arising on conversion of financialstatements denominated in foreign currencies " in other comprehensive income, and in profit and loss forthe period upon disposal of the foreign operation.Foreign currency non-monetary items measured at historical cost are converted to the amounts infunctional currency at the spot exchange rates on the dates of the transactions. Foreign currencynon-monetary items measured at fair value are re-converted at the spot exchange rate on the date the fairvalue is determined. Difference between the re-converted functional currency amount and the originalfunctional currency amount is treated as changes in fair value (including changes of exchange rate) and isrecognized in profit and loss or as other comprehensive income.
8.2 Conversion of financial statements denominated in foreign currencies
For the purpose of preparing the consolidated financial statements, financial statements of a foreignoperation are converted from the foreign currency into RMB using the following method: assets andliabilities on the balance sheet are translated at the spot exchange rate prevailing at the balance sheet date;shareholders' equity items are converted at the spot exchange rates at the dates on which such items arose;all items in the income statement as well as items reflecting the distribution of profits are translated atexchange rates that approximate the actual spot exchange rates on the dates of the transactions; Thedifference between the converted assets and the aggregate of liabilities and shareholders' equity items isrecognized into other comprehensive income and shareholders’ equity.
The foreign currency cash flow and cash flow of overseas subsidiaries adopt the exchange rate similar tothe spot rate at the date of cash flow for conversion. The affected amount of cash and cash equivalentsdue to the change of exchange rate, as an adjustment item, shall be separately listed as "the impact of cashand cash equivalents due to the change of exchange rate" in the cash flow statement.
The opening balances and the comparative figures of previous year are presented at the convertedamounts in the previous year's financial statements.
On disposal of the Group's entire interest in a foreign operation, or upon a loss of control over a foreignoperation due to disposal of certain interest in it or other reasons, the Group transfers the accumulatedexchange differences arising on conversion of financial statements of this foreign operation attributable tothe owners' equity of the Company and presented under shareholders' equity, to profit or loss in the periodin which the disposal occurs.

In case of a disposal or other reason that does not result in the Group losing control over a foreignoperation, but only a decrease in proportion of overseas business interests, the proportionate share ofaccumulated exchange differences arising on conversion of financial statements are re-attributed tominority interests and are not recognized in profit and loss under current period. For partial disposals ofequity interests in foreign operations which are associates or joint ventures, the proportionate shares ofthe accumulated exchange differences arising on conversion of financial statements of foreign operationsis reclassified to profit or loss under current period.
9. Financial Instruments
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognized when the Group becomes a party to thecontractual provisions of the instrument. Financial assets and financial liabilities are initially measured atfair value. For financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, transaction costsare immediately recognized in profit or loss. For other financial assets and financial liabilities, transactioncosts are included in their initial recognized amounts.
For the purchase or sale of financial assets in the regular method, the assets and the correspondingundertaken liabilities are recognized when the assets are received on the trading day, or the assets sold arederecognized on the trading day.
9.1 Effective Interest Method
The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial asset or afinancial liability (or a group of financial assets or financial liabilities) and of allocating the interestincome or interest expense over the relevant period, using the effective interest rate. The effective interestrate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash flows through the expected life of the financialasset or financial liability, or a shorter period if appropriate, to the current net carrying amount of thefinancial asset or financial liability.
When calculating the effective interest rate, the Group estimates future cash flows considering allcontractual terms of the financial asset or financial liability (without considering future credit losses), andalso considers all fees paid or received between the parties to the contract giving rise to the financial assetand financial liability that are an integral part of the effective interest rate, transaction costs, andpremiums or discounts, etc.9.2 Classification, Confirmation and Measurement of the Financial Assets
On initial recognition, the Group’s financial assets are classified into one of the four categories, includingfinancial assets at fair value through profit or loss, held-to-maturity investments, loans and receivables,and available-for-sale financial assets. All purchases or sales of financial assets through regular methodsare recognized and derecognized on a trade date basis.
9.2.1 Financial Assets at Fair Value through Profit or Loss ("FVTPL")
Notes to Financial StatementsFor the reporting period from January 1
st

2018
Financial assets at FVTPL include financial assets held for trading and those designated as financialassets at fair value through profit or loss.
A financial asset is classified as held for trading if one of the following conditions is satisfied: (1) It hasbeen acquired principally for the purpose of selling in the near term; or (2) On initial recognition it is partof a portfolio of identified financial instruments that the Group manages together and there is objectiveevidence that the Group has a recent actual pattern of short-term profit-taking; or (3) It is a derivative thatis not designated and effective as a hedging instrument, or a financial guarantee contract, or a derivativethat is linked to and must be settled by delivery of an unquoted equity instrument (without a quoted pricein an active market) whose fair value cannot be reliably measured.
Financial assets that meet one of the following conditions can be initially designated as financial assets atfair value through profit or loss: (1) The designation may eliminate or significantly reduce theinconsistency in the recognition or measurement of the relevant gains or losses resulting from thedifferent measurement basis of the financial asset; (2) The formal written documents of the Group's riskmanagement or investment strategy have stated that the financial asset portfolio or financial assets andfinancial liabilities in which the financial assets are located are managed, evaluated and reported to keymanagement personnel on the basis of fair value; (3) Eligible hybrid tools with embedded derivatives
Financial assets at FVTPL are subsequently measured at fair value. Any gains or losses arising fromchanges in the fair value and any dividend or interest income earned on the financial assets arerecognized in profit or loss.
9.2.2 Held-to-maturity investments
Held-to-maturity investments are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments andfixed maturity dates that the Group's management has the positive intention and ability to hold tomaturity.
Held-to-maturity investments are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interestmethod. Gain or loss arising from derecognition, impairment or amortization is recognized in profit orloss.
9.2.3 Loans and Receivables
Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that arenot quoted in an active market. Financial assets classified as loans and receivables by the Group includenotes receivable, accounts receivable, other receivables, long-term receivables, and etc.Loans and receivables are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method.Gain or loss arising from derecognition, impairment or amortization is recognized in profit or loss.

9.2.4 Available-for-sale Financial Assets
Available-for-sale financial assets include non-derivative financial assets that are designated on initialrecognition as available for sale, and financial assets that are not classified as financial assets at fair valuethrough profit or loss, loans and receivables or held-to-maturity investments.Available-for-sale financial assets are subsequently measured at fair value, and gains or losses arisingfrom changes in the fair value are recognized as other comprehensive income, except that impairmentlosses and exchange differences related to amortized cost of monetary financial assets denominated inforeign currencies are recognized in profit or loss, until the financial assets are derecognized, at whichtime the gains or losses are released and recognized in profit or loss.Interests obtained and the dividends declared by the investee during the period in which theavailable-for-sale financial assets are held, are recognized in investment gains.For investments in equity instruments that do not have a quoted market price in an active market andwhose fair value cannot be reliably measured, and derivative financial assets that are linked to and mustbe settled by delivery of such unquoted equity instruments, they are measured at cost.
9.3 Impairment of financial assets
The Group assesses at each balance sheet date the carrying amounts of financial assets other than those atfair value through profit or loss. If there is objective evidence that a financial asset is impaired, the Groupdetermines the amount of any impairment loss. Objective evidence that a financial asset is impaired isevidence that, arising from one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the asset, theestimated future cash flows of the financial asset, which can be reliably measured, have been affected.Objective evidence that a financial asset is impaired includes the following observable events:
(1) Significant financial difficulty of the issuer or obligor;(2) A breach of contract by the borrower, such as a default or delinquency in interest or principalpayments;(3) The Group, for economic or legal reasons relating to the borrower’s financial difficulty, granting aconcession to the borrower;(4) It becoming probable that the borrower will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganizations;(5) The disappearance of an active market for that financial asset because of financial difficulties of theissuer;(6) Upon an overall assessment of a group of financial assets, observable data indicates that there is ameasurable decrease in the estimated future cash flows from the group of financial assets since the initialrecognition of those assets, although the decrease cannot yet be identified with the individual financialassets in the group. Such observable data includes:
- Adverse changes in the payment status of borrower in the group of assets;- Economic conditions in the country or region of the borrower which may lead to a failure to pay thegroup of assets;(7) Significant adverse changes in the technological, market, economic or legal environment in which theissuer operates, indicating that the cost of the investment in the equity instrument may not be recoveredby the investor;
Notes to Financial StatementsFor the reporting period from January 1
st

st
2018
(8) A significant or prolonged decline in the fair value of an investment in an equity instrument below itscost;(9) Other objective evidence indicating there is an impairment of a financial asset.- Impairment of financial assets measured at amortized costIf financial assets carried at amortized cost are impaired, the carrying amounts of the financial assets arereduced to the present value of estimated future cash flows (excluding future credit losses that have notbeen incurred) discounted at the financial asset's original effective interest rate. The amount of reductionis recognized as an impairment loss in profit or loss. If, subsequent to the recognition of an impairmentloss on financial assets carried at amortized cost, there is objective evidence of a recovery in value of thefinancial assets which can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment is recognized,the previously recognized impairment loss is reversed. However, the reversal is made to the extent thatthe carrying amount of the financial asset at the date the impairment is reversed does not exceed what theamortized cost would have been had the impairment not been recognized.For a financial asset that is individually significant, the Group assesses the asset individually forimpairment. For a financial asset that is not individually significant, the Group assesses the assetindividually for impairment or includes the asset in a group of financial assets with similar credit riskcharacteristics and collectively assesses them for impairment. If the Group determines that no objectiveevidence of impairment exists for an individually assessed financial asset (whether significant or not), itincludes the asset in a group of financial assets with similar credit risk characteristics and collectivelyreassesses them for impairment. Assets for which an impairment loss is individually recognized are notincluded in a collective assessment of impairment.
- Impairment of available-for-sale financial assets
When an available-for-sale financial asset is impaired, the cumulative loss arising from decline in fairvalue previously recognized directly in other comprehensive income is reclassified from othercomprehensive income to profit or loss. The amount of the cumulative loss that is reclassified from othercomprehensive income to profit or loss is the difference between the acquisition cost (net of any principalrepayment and amortization) and the current fair value, less any impairment loss on that financial assetpreviously recognized in profit or loss.If, subsequent to the recognition of an impairment loss on available-for-sale financial assets, there isobjective evidence of a recovery in value of the financial assets which can be related objectively to anevent occurring after the impairment is recognized, the previously recognized impairment loss is reversed.The amount of reversal of impairment loss on available-for-sale equity instruments is recognized as othercomprehensive income, while the amount of reversal of impairment loss on available-for-sale debtinstruments is recognized in profit or loss.
- Impairment of financial assets measured at costIf an impairment loss has been incurred on an investment in unquoted equity instrument (without aquoted price in an active market) whose fair value cannot be reliably measured, or on a derivativefinancial asset that is linked to and must be settled by delivery of such an unquoted equity instrument, thecarrying amount of the financial asset is reduced to the present value of estimated future cash flowsdiscounted at the current market rate of return for a similar financial asset. The amount of reduction isrecognized as an impairment loss in profit or loss. The impairment loss on such financial asset is notreversed once it is recognized.

9.4 Transfer of Financial Assets
The Group derecognizes a financial asset if one of the following conditions is satisfied: (1) thecontractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire; or (2) the financial asset has beentransferred and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset is transferred tothe transferee; or (3) although the financial asset has been transferred, the Group neither transfers norretains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset but has not retainedcontrol of the financial asset.If the Group neither transfers nor retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of afinancial asset, and it retains control of the financial asset, it recognizes the financial asset to the extent ofits continuing involvement in the transferred financial asset and recognizes an associated liability. Theextent of the Group’s continuing involvement in the transferred asset is the extent to which it is exposedto changes in the value of the transferred asset.For a transfer of a financial asset in its entirety that satisfies the recognition criteria, the differencebetween (1) the carrying amount of the financial asset transferred; and (2) the sum of the considerationreceived from the transfer and any cumulative gain or loss that has been recognized in othercomprehensive income, is recognized in profit or loss.If a part of the transferred financial asset qualifies for derecognition, the carrying amount of thetransferred financial asset is allocated between the part that continues to be recognized and the part that isderecognized, based on the respective fair values of those parts. The difference between (1) the carryingamount allocated to the part derecognized; and (2) the sum of the consideration received for the partderecognized and any cumulative gain or loss allocated to the part derecognized which has beenpreviously recognized in other comprehensive income, is recognized in profit or loss.
9.5 Classification, recognition and measurement of financial liabilities
Debt and equity instruments issued by the Group are classified into financial liabilities or equity on thebasis of the substance of the contractual arrangements with the relevant reflected economic essence (notonly in the form of law) and definitions of financial liability and equity instrument.On initial recognition, financial liabilities are classified into financial liabilities at fair value throughprofit or loss and other financial liabilities.
9.5.1 Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL)
Financial liabilities at FVTPL consist of financial liabilities held for trading and those designated as atFVTPL.A financial liability is classified as held for trading if one of the following conditions is satisfied: (1)undertake the purpose of financial liability, it has been acquired principally for the purpose ofrepurchasing in the near term; or (2) On initial recognition it is part of a portfolio of identified financialinstruments that the Group manages together and there is objective evidence that the Group has a recentactual pattern of short-term profit-taking; or (3) It is a derivative, except for a derivative that is adesignated and effective hedging instrument, or a financial guarantee contract, or a derivative that islinked to and must be settled by delivery of an unquoted equity instrument (without a quoted price in anactive market) whose fair value cannot be reliably measured.
Notes to Financial StatementsFor the reporting period from January 1

A financial liability may be designated as at FVTPL upon initial recognition only when one of thefollowing conditions is satisfied: (1) Such designation eliminates or significantly reduces a measurementor recognition inconsistency that would otherwise result from measuring liabilities or recognizing thegains or losses on them on different bases; or (2) The financial liability forms part of a group of financialliabilities or a group of financial assets and financial liabilities, which is managed and its performance isevaluated on a fair value basis, in accordance with the Group's documented risk management orinvestment strategy, and information about the grouping is reported to key management personnel on thatbasis.; or (3) qualified hybrid tool with inclusion of embedded derivatives.Financial liabilities at FVTPL are subsequently measured at fair value. Any gains or losses arising fromchanges in the fair value or any dividend or interest expenses related to the financial liabilities arerecognized in profit or loss.
9.5.2 Other financial liabilities
For a derivative liability that is linked to and must be settled by delivery of an unquoted equity instrument(without a quoted price in an active market) whose fair value cannot be reliably measured, it issubsequently measured at cost. Other financial liabilities, except for financial guarantee contracts, aresubsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method, with gain or loss arisingfrom derecognition or amortization recognized in profit or loss.
9.5.3. Financial Guarantee Contracts
A financial guarantee contract is a contract by which the guarantor and the lender agree that the guarantorwould settle the debts or bear obligations in accordance with terms of the contract in case the borrowerfails to settle the debts. Financial guarantee contracts that are not designated as financial liabilities at fairvalue through profit or loss, are initially measured at their fair values less the directly attributabletransaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, they are measured at the higher of: (i) the amountdetermined in accordance with Accounting Standard for Business Enterprises No. 13 – Contingencies;and (ii) the amount initially recognized less cumulative amortization recognized in accordance with theprinciples set out in Accounting Standard for Business Enterprises No. 14 – Revenue.
9.6 Derecognition of Financial Liabilities
The Group derecognizes a financial liability (or part of it) when the underlying present obligation (or partof it) is discharged. An agreement between the Group (an existing borrower) and an existing lender toreplace the original financial liability with a new financial liability with substantially different terms isaccounted for as an extinguishment of the original financial liability and the recognition of a newfinancial liability.When the Group derecognizes a financial liability or a part of it, it recognizes the difference between thecarrying amount of the financial liability (or part of the financial liability) derecognized and theconsideration paid (including any non-cash assets transferred or new financial liabilities assumed) inprofit or loss.

9.7 Derivative Instruments and Embedded Derivative Instruments
Derivative financial instruments include forward exchange contracts, interest rate swaps and foreignexchange options, etc. Derivatives are initially measured at fair value at the date when the derivativecontracts are entered into and are subsequently re-measured at fair value. The resulting gain or loss isrecognized in profit or loss.An embedded derivative is separated from the hybrid instrument, where the hybrid instrument is notdesignated as a financial asset or financial liability at fair value through profit or loss, and treated as astandalone derivative if 1) the economic characteristics and risks of the embedded derivative are notclosely related to the economic characteristics and risks of the host contract; and 2) a separate instrumentwith the same terms as the embedded derivative would meet the definition of a derivative. If the Group isunable to measure the embedded derivative separately either at acquisition or at a subsequent balancesheet date, it designates the entire hybrid instrument as a financial asset or financial liability at fair valuethrough profit or loss.
9.8 Offsetting financial assets and financial liabilities
Where the Group has a legal right that is currently enforceable to set off the recognized financial assetsand financial liabilities, and intends either to settle on a net basis, or to realize the financial asset andsettle the financial liability simultaneously, a financial asset and a financial liability shall be offset and thenet amount is presented in the balance sheet. Except for the above circumstances, financial assets andfinancial liabilities shall be presented separately in the balance sheet and shall not be offset.
9.9 Equity instrument
An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the Group afterdeducting all of its liabilities. That the group issues (including refinancing), repurchases, sells or cancelsequity instruments is taken as the treatment of changes in equities. The group does not confirm thechanges of fair value of equity instruments. Transaction fees relevant to the equity transaction shall bededucted from the equity.The Group considers the allocation of the equity holder as the allocation of profits; issued share dividendsdo not influence the total equity of the shareholders.

Method of determining provision for receivables that are individually significant and for which bad debt provision is individually assessed | For account receivables that are individually significant, the Group assesses the receivables individually for impairment. For account receivables that are not impaired individually, the Group includes the account receivables in a group of financial assets with similar credit risk characteristics and collectively assesses them for impairment. Account receivables for which an impairment loss is individually recognized are not included in a collective assessment of impairment. |

10.3 Accounts receivable that are not individually significant but for which bad debt provision isindividually assessed:
Reasons for making individual bad debt provision | There are significant differences between the present value of future cash flow of the receivables and the present value of future cash flow of the receivables portfolio based on aging analysis as credit risk feature. |
Bad debt provision methods | Through individual impairment test, determine the bad debts provisions according to the difference of the amount that the present value of future cash flows lower than carrying value. |
11. Inventories11.1 Categories of inventories

materials and supplies used in the production process or in the process of proving labor service.Inventories are initially measured at cost. Cost of inventories comprises all costs of purchase, costs ofconversion and other expenditures incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location andcondition.
11.2 Valuation method of inventories upon delivery
The actual cost of inventories upon delivery is calculated using the mobile weighted average method.
11.3 Basis for determining net realizable value of inventoriesThe inventory is according to cost and net realizable value low metering on the date of balance sheet.When the net realizable value is lower than cost, withdraw inventory falling price reserves. The netrealizable value refers to the amount derived by deducting the potential cost, estimated selling expenseand relative taxes to the completion date from the estimated sales price of inventory in daily activities.When determining net realizable value of inventories, take the obtained conclusive evidence as basis andconsider the purposes of holding inventories and influence of events after the balance sheet date.
Provision for decline in value of inventories is made based on the excess of cost of inventory over its netrealizable value on an item-by-item basis.
After provision for inventory depreciation reserves is made, if the factors resulting in the write-down ofinventory impairment have disappeared and causing the net realizable value higher than its book value,such inventory impairment provision are recovered and reversed, and the reversed amount recorded inprofits and losses of the current period.
11.4 Inventory count system

11.5 Amortization method for low cost and short-lived consumable items and packaging materials
Packaging materials and low cost and short-lived consumable items are amortized using the immediatewrite-off method.
12. Long-term Equity Investment
12.1 Basis for determining joint control and significant influence over investee
Control is the power to govern an entity through participating in relevant activities of the investee; theinvestor is able to obtain variable benefits from its activities, and at same time, to use the control rights onthe investee to influence the amount of returns. Joint control means that joint control for certain

arrangement in accordance with relevant agreements; activities relevant to the arrangement cannot bedecided until obtaining the unanimous consent of parties sharing control right. Significant influence is thepower to participate in the financial and operating policy decisions of the investee but is not control orjoint control over those policies. When determining whether an investing enterprise is able to exercisecontrol or significant influence over an investee, the effect of potential voting rights of the investee, suchas current convertible debts, current executable warrants, etc., held by the investing enterprises or otherparties shall be considered.
12.2 Determination of initial investment cost
For a long-term equity investment acquired through a business combination involving enterprises undercommon control, the shares of merged party's book value of owners' equity in the final controlling partyconsolidated financial statements obtained on the merger date shall be considered as the initial investmentcost of long-term equity investment. The differences between the initial investment cost of long-termequity investment and the paid cash, the transferred non-cash assets and the book value of the assumeddebts are adjusted against the capital surplus; if the capital surplus is not sufficient to be offset, theremaining balance is adjusted against retained earnings. In the case of issued equity securities treated asconsolidation consideration, share of book value of owner's equity of merged party in the final controllingparty consolidated financial statements is regarded as initial investment cost of long-term equityinvestments on the date of consolidation; capital reserve shall be adjusted in accordance with taking totalnominal value of issued share as capital share, the difference between the initial investment cost oflong-term equity investments and total book value of issued shares; In case the capital reserve is notenough for writing down, the retained earnings shall be adjusted.
For a long-term equity investment acquired through business combination not involving enterprises undercommon control, and the merging cost confirmed on the purchased date are regarded as the initialinvestment cost.
The intermediate expenses made by the combining party or purchaser for audit, legal service, assessmentand other management related expenses during the business merger should be included into the currentprofit and loss as it happens.
Conduct initial measurement according the cost for other equity investment other than the long-termequity investment formed in business merger. In case that the investor may post a significant impact onthe investee or execute joint control but not constitute the control right, long-term equity investment costis the sum of fair value of original-held equity investment plus newly-added investment cost inaccordance with No. 22 Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises----Recognition and Measure ofthe Financial Instruments.
12.3 Subsequent measurement and recognition of profit or loss
12.3.1 Long-term equity investment accounted for using the cost methodLong-term equity investments in subsidiaries are accounted for using the cost method in the Company'sfinancial statements. A subsidiary is an investee that is controlled by the Group.The long-term equity investment accounted by the cost method shall be measured at its initial investment

2018
cost. If there are additional investments or disinvestments, the long-term equity investment cost shall beadjusted. Income from the investment in the current period shall be recognized in accordance with thecash dividends or profits declared and issued by the investee.
12.3.2 Long-term equity investment accounted for using the equity methodThe Group accounts for investment in associates and joint ventures using the equity method. An associateis an entity over which the Group has significant influence and a joint venture is an entity over which theGroup can only exercise joint control along with other investors on the investee’s net assets.
Under the equity method, where the initial investment cost of a long-term equity investment exceeds theGroup’s share of the fair value of the investee’s identifiable net assets at the time of acquisition, noadjustment is made to the initial investment cost. Where the initial investment cost is less than theGroup’s share of the fair value of the investee’s identifiable net assets at the time of acquisition, thedifference is recognized in profit or loss for the period, and the cost of the long-term equity investment isadjusted accordingly.
Under the equity method, the Group recognizes its share of the net profit or loss and other comprehensiveincome of the investee for the period as investment income or loss and comprehensive income for theperiod, meanwhile, the book value of the long-term equity investment shall be adjusted; The Companyshall accordingly reduce the book value of the long-term equity investment in terms of the part that shallbe enjoyed according to the profit or cash dividends declared by the invested unit to be distributed; Forother changes in the owners' equity of the invested unit other than net profits and losses, othercomprehensive incomes and the profit distribution, the book value of long-term equity investment shallbe adjusted and be included into the capital reserves. The Company shall, on the ground of the fair valueof all identifiable assets of the invested entity when it obtains the investment, recognize the attributableshare of the net profits and losses of the invested entity after it adjusts the net profits of the invested entity.If the accounting policies and accounting periods adopted by the invested unit are different from thoseadopted by the Company, the adjustment shall be made for the financial statements of the invested unit inaccordance with the accounting policies and accounting periods of the Company to recognize theinvestment income and other comprehensive incomes. For the transaction incurred between the group andassociated enterprises and joint ventures, invested or sold assets don't constitute a business, the part thatdoesn't achieve internal transaction profit or loss or belongs to the group calculated according to theenjoyed ratio will be offset, and the profit or loss on investment will be confirmed on this basis. But forthe unrealized loss arising from the internal transaction between the group and the invested unit, if suchtransaction loss is defined as the impairment loss of the transferred asset, they cannot be offset.
When the Company determines the net loss of the invested unit which shall be shared, it is necessary towrite-down the book value of the long-term equity investment and other long-term equities substantiallyconstituting the net investment of the invested unit to zero as a limit. Besides, if the group is obliged tobear extra loss for the invested unit, it shall be necessary to determine provisions and record them tocurrent investment loss in compliance with obligations expected to be assumed. If the invested unitrealizes any net profits later, the group shall, after the amount of its attributable share of profits offsets itsattributable share of the un-confirmed losses, resume recognizing its attributable share of profits.

13. Fixed Assets
13.1 Recognition criteria for fixed assets
Fixed assets are tangible assets that are held for use in the production or supply of goods or services, forrental to others, or for administrative purposes, and have useful lives of more than one accounting year. Afixed asset is recognized only when it is probable that economic benefits associated with the asset willflow to the Group and the cost of the asset can be measured reliably. Fixed assets are initially measured atcost.
Subsequent expenditures incurred for the fixed asset are included in the cost of the fixed asset and if it isprobable that economic benefits associated with the asset will flow to the Group and the subsequentexpenditures can be measured reliably. Meanwhile the carrying amount of the replaced part isderecognized. Other subsequent expenditures are recognized in profit or loss in the period in which theyare incurred.
13.2 Depreciation of each category of fixed assets
A fixed asset is depreciated over its useful life using the straight-line method since the month subsequentto the one in which it is ready for intended use. The useful life, estimated net residual value rate andannual depreciation rate of each category of fixed assets are as follows:
Class | Depreciation period (years) | Residual value rate (%) | Annual depreciation rate (%) |
Buildings and Constructions | 20 years | 10 | 4.5 |
General-purpose equipment | 3-5 years | 10 | 18.0-30.0 |
Special-purpose equipment | 3-5 years | 10 | 18.0-30.0 |
Transportation vehicles | 5 years | 10 | 18.0 |
Estimated net residual value of a fixed asset is the estimated amount that the Group would currentlyobtain from disposal of the asset, after deducting the estimated costs of disposal, if the asset were alreadyof the age and in the condition expected at the end of its useful life.
13.3 Identification basis and valuation methods for fixed assets acquired under finance leases
On the commencement date of the lease term, record the lower of the fair value of the leasing asset or thepresent value of the minimum lease payments on the lease commencement date as the entry book value ofthe leased asset, and book the amount of the minimum lease payments as the entry book value oflong-term account payable, and recognize the difference between the entry value of the leased asset andthat of the long-term account payables as unrecognized financing expenses. In addition, the initial direct

st
2018
costs directly attributable to the leased item incurred during the process of negotiating the lease andsigning the leasing agreement shall be included into the value of the leased assets.
The Group adopts a depreciation policy for a fixed asset held under a finance lease which is consistentwith that for its owned fixed asset. If there is reasonable certainty that the Group will obtain ownership ofthe leased asset at the end of the lease term, the leased asset is depreciated over its useful life. If there isno reasonable certainty that the Group will obtain ownership of the leased asset at the end of the leaseterm, the leased asset is depreciated over the shorter of the lease term and its useful life.
13.4 Other explanations
If a fixed asset is upon disposal or no future economic benefits are expected to be generated from its useor disposal, the fixed asset is derecognized. When a fixed asset is sold, transferred, retired or damaged,the amount of any proceeds on disposal of the asset net of the carrying amount and related taxes isrecognized in profit or loss for the period.
The Group reviews the useful life and estimated net residual value of a fixed asset and the depreciationmethod applied at least once at each financial year-end, and account for any change as a change in anaccounting estimate.
14. Construction in Process
Construction in progress is measured at its actual costs. The actual costs include various constructionexpenditures during the construction period, borrowing costs capitalized before it is ready for intendeduse and other relevant costs. Construction in progress is not depreciated. Construction in progress istransferred to a fixed asset when it is ready for intended use.
15. Borrowing Costs
Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition & construction or production of assets eligible forcapitalization shall be capitalized when assets expenditure, borrowing costs and necessary construction orproduction for bringing assets to expected conditions for use or marketing have taken place; whenconstruction or production of assets ready for capitalization reach to expected conditions for use ormarketing, capitalization shall be ceased. Other borrowing expenses are recognized as expenses in thecurrent period.
Where funds are borrowed under a specific-purpose borrowing, the amount of interest to be capitalized isthe actual interest expense incurred on that borrowing for the period less any bank interest earned fromdepositing the borrowed funds before being used on the asset or any investment income on the temporaryinvestment of those funds. Where funds are borrowed under general-purpose borrowings, the Groupdetermines the amount of interest to be capitalized on such borrowings by applying a capitalization rateto the weighted average of the excess of cumulative expenditures on the asset over the amounts ofspecific-purpose borrowings. The capitalization rate is the weighted average of the interest ratesapplicable to the general-purpose borrowings. During the capitalization period, exchange differences

related to a specific-purpose borrowing denominated in foreign currency are all capitalized. Exchangedifferences in connection with general-purpose borrowings are recognized in profit or loss in the periodin which they are incurred.
16. Intangible Assets
16.1 Intangible Assets Valuation Method and Service Life
Intangible assets include land use right, intellectual property (IP) and application software, etc.
An intangible asset is measured initially at cost. When an intangible asset with a finite useful life isavailable for use, its original cost is amortized over its estimated useful life using the straight-line method.The useful life and predicted net residual value of various intangible assets are shown as follows:
Class | Service life (year) | Salvage value rate (%) |
Land use right | 40 or 50 years | - |
IP Right | 10 Years | - |
Application Software | 5-10 years | - |
For an intangible asset with a finite useful life, the Group reviews the useful life and amortization methodat the end of the period, and makes adjustments when necessary.
16.2 Internal Research and Development Expenditure
Expenditure during the research phase is recognized as an expense in the period in which it is incurred.
Expenditure during the development phase that meets all of the following conditions at the same time isrecognized as intangible asset. Expenditure during development phase that does not meet the followingconditions is recognized in profit or loss for the period.
(1) It is technically feasible to complete the intangible asset so that it will be available for use or sale;(2) The Group has the intention to complete the intangible asset and use or sell it;(3) The Group can demonstrate the ways in which the intangible asset will generate economic benefits,including the evidence of the existence of a market for the output of the intangible asset or the intangibleasset itself or, if it is to be used internally, the usefulness of the intangible asset;(4) The availability of adequate technical, financial and other resources to complete the development andthe ability to use or sell the intangible asset; and(5) The expenditure attributable to the intangible asset during its development phase can be reliablymeasured.

If the expenditures cannot be distinguished between the research phase and development phase, theGroup recognizes all of them in profit or loss for the period.
17. Long-term Assets Impairment
The Group assesses at each balance sheet date whether there is any indication that the long-term equityinvestment, fixed assets, construction in process and intangible assets with a finite useful life may beimpaired. If there is any indication that such assets may be impaired, recoverable amounts are estimatedfor such assets. Intangible assets with indefinite useful life and intangible assets not yet available for useare tested for impairment annually, irrespective of whether there is any indication that the assets may beimpaired.
Recoverable amount is estimated on individual basis. If it is not practical to estimate the recoverableamount of an individual asset, the recoverable amount of the asset group to which the asset belongs willbe estimated. The recoverable amount is determined by the higher of 1) net amount of fair value of theasset or asset group deducted by the disposal expenses; or 2) the present value of the expected future cashflow of the asset or asset group.
If the recoverable amount of an asset or an asset group is less than its carrying amount, the deficit isaccounted for as an impairment loss and is recognized in profit or loss for the period.
Goodwill impairment test shall be conducted at the end of each year at least. Goodwill impairment testshall be conducted in accordance with the concerned asset group or asset portfolio. That is to allocate thebook value of goodwill to the asset group or asset portfolio that is expected to benefit from the synergiesof the combination in a reasonable way from the date of purchasing. When recoverable amount ofapportion-included asset group or asset portfolio of goodwill is less than book value of goodwill,impairment loss shall be recognized. Firstly, amount of impairment loss shall be apportioned to the bookvalue of goodwill of the said asset group or asset portfolio, and then book value of other assets, except forgoodwill, in asset group or asset portfolio shall be abated in proportion.
Once the impairment loss of such assets is recognized, it is not be reversed in any subsequent period.
18. Employee compensation18.1 Accountant Arrangement Method of Short-term RemunerationDuring accounting period when the Group's employees provide services, actual short-term remunerationshall be recognized as the liabilities and current profit and loss or relevant asset cost. The Group’semployee benefits and welfare are included into current profit and loss or relevant asset cost according toactual amount occurred during the period. If the employee benefits and welfare is non-monetary, it shallbe measured according to its fair value.
During the accounting period that the employees service the Group, the Group pays social insurancepremiums such as medical insurance premium, industrial injury insurance premium, maternity insurancepremium and housing accumulation fund for its employees, as well as labor union expenditure andemployee education expenses calculated and withdrawn according to the regulations, corresponding

employee remuneration amount shall be calculated and determined in accordance with specifiedcalculation and withdrawal basis and proportion to recognize corresponding liabilities and included intothe current profit and loss or relevant asset cost.
18.2 Accountant Arrangement Method of Post-employment Benefits
All post-employment benefits shall be considered as the defined contribution plan.
In the accounting period when the employee serves for the Group, the deposited amount calculated basedon defined contribution plan shall be recognized as liabilities and included in the current profit and loss orrelevant asset cost.
18.3 Accountant Arrangement Method of the Termination Benefits
Where the Group provides termination benefits, the employee remuneration liabilities caused by suchtermination benefits will be determined as the following date, whichever is earlier, and will be included inthe current profit and loss: 1) When the Group cannot unilaterally withdraw the termination benefitsprovided due to labor relation cancellation plan or employee lay-off suggestion; or 2)when the Groupdetermines costs or expenses in relation with the restructuring of the paid termination benefits.
19. Provisions
Provisions are recognized when the Group has a present obligation related to a contingency such asproducts quality assurance, etc. And it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be requiredto settle the obligation, and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably.
The amount recognized as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle thepresent obligation at the balance sheet date, taking into account factors pertaining to a contingency suchas the risks, uncertainties and time value of money. Where the effect of the time value of money ismaterial, the amount of the provision is determined by discounting the related future cash outflows.
20. Share-based Payment
Share-based payment refers to a transaction in which the Group grants the equity instruments orundertakes the equity-instrument-based liabilities in return for services from employees. The Group'sshare-based payment is an equity-settled share-based payment.A share-based payment is a transaction which the Group grants equity instruments, or incurs liabilities foramounts that are determined based on the price of equity instruments, in return for services rendered byemployees. The Group's share-based payments are equity-settled share-based payments.

20.1 Equity-settled share-based payments
Grants to employees are equity-settled share-based payments.
Equity-settled share-based payments in exchange for services rendered by employees are measured at thefair value of the equity instruments granted to employees at the grant date. Such amount is recognized asrelated costs or expenses on a straight-line basis over the vesting period, with a corresponding increase incapital reserve.
At each balance sheet date during the vesting period, the Group makes the best estimate according to thesubsequent latest information of change in the number of employees who are granted with options thatmay vest, etc. and revises the number of equity instruments expected to vest. The effect of the aboveestimate is recognized as related costs or expenses, with a corresponding adjustment to capital reserve.]
20.2. Accounting treatment related to implementation, modification and termination of share-basedpayment arrangement
In case the Group modifies a share-based payment arrangement, if the modification increases the fairvalue of the equity instruments granted, the Group will include the incremental fair value of the equityinstruments granted in the measurement of the amount recognized for services received. If themodification increases the number of the equity instruments granted, the Group will include the fair valueof additional equity instruments granted in the measurement of the amount recognized for servicesreceived. The increase in the fair value of the equity instruments granted is the difference between fairvalue of the equity instruments before and after the modification on the date of the modification. If theGroup modifies the terms or conditions of the share-based payment arrangement in a manner that reducesthe total fair value of the share-based payment arrangement, or is not otherwise beneficial to theemployee, the Group will continue to account for the services received as if that modification had notoccurred, other than a cancellation of some or all the equity instruments granted.If cancellation of the equity instruments granted occurs during the vesting period, the Group will accountfor the cancellation of the equity instruments granted as an acceleration of vesting, and recognizeimmediately the amount that otherwise would have been recognized over the remainder of the vestingperiod in profit or loss for the period, with a corresponding recognition in capital reserve. When theemployee or counterparty can choose whether to meet the non-vesting condition but the condition is notmet during the vesting period, the Group treats it as a cancellation of the equity instruments granted.
21. Revenue
21.1 Revenue from sale of goods
Revenue from sale of goods is recognized when (1) the Group has transferred to the buyer the significantrisks and rewards of ownership of the goods; (2) the Group retains neither continuing managerialinvolvement to the degree usually associated with ownership nor effective control over the goods sold; (3)the amount of revenue can be measured reliably; (4) it is probable that the associated economic benefitswill flow to the Group; and (5) the associated costs incurred or to be incurred can be measured reliably.

Revenue from rendering of services is recognized using the percentageof completion method at the balance sheet date. The stage of completion of a transaction for rendering forservices is determined based on the proportion that costs incurred to date bear to the estimated total costsof the transaction.
When the outcome of the transaction involving the rendering of services cannot be estimated reliably,revenue is recognized only to the extent of the costs incurred that will be recoverable, and the costsincurred are recognized as expenses for the period. When it is not probable that the costs incurred will berecovered, revenue is not recognized.
21.3 Construction ContractWhere the outcome of a construction contract can be estimated reliably, contract revenue and costs arerecognized using the percentage of completion method at the balance sheet date.
The stage of completion of a contract is determined using the proportion that completed contract workbears to the estimated total contract work.
Where the outcome of a construction contract cannot be estimated reliably, (1) if contract costs areexpected to be recoverable, contract revenue is recognized to the extent of contract costs that are expectedto be recoverable; and contract costs are recognized as expenses in the period in which they are incurred;(2) if contract costs are not expected to be recoverable, they are recognized as expenses immediatelywhen incurred and contract revenue is not recognized. When the uncertainties that prevented the outcomeof the construction contract from being estimated reliably no longer exist, revenue and expensesassociated with the construction contract are recognized using the percentage of completion method.
If the estimated total contract costs exceed total contract revenue, the expected loss is recognizedimmediately as an expense for the period.
The cumulative costs incurred and cumulative gross profits (or losses) recognized for contracts inprogress and the progress billings are offset and the net amount is presented in the balance sheet. Wherethe aggregate of cumulative costs incurred and cumulative gross profits (or losses) recognized exceed theprogress billings for contracts in progress, the surplus is shown as inventory. Where the progress billingsfor contracts in progress exceed the aggregate of cumulative costs incurred and cumulative gross profits(or losses) recognized, the surplus is shown as receipts in advance.
For participation in public infrastructure construction using the Build-Operate-Transfer (BOT) model, theGroup recognizes revenue and expenses associated with the construction services rendered during theconstruction period in accordance with Accounting Standard for Business Enterprises No.15 –Construction Contracts. When the construction of the public infrastructure is completed, the Grouprecognizes revenue and expenses associated with subsequent operations and services in accordance withAccounting Standard for Business Enterprises No. 14 – Revenue.

The government subsidies for Chongqing Manufacture Base construction and etc. are used forconstructions and forms long-term assets in other ways, and therefore are categorized as governmentsubsidy related to assets.
A government grant related to an asset is recognized as deferred income or writing down book value ofrelated assets. For government grants recognized as deferred income, it should be evenly amortized toprofit or loss over the useful life of the related asset.
22.2 Judgment basis and accountant treatment of government subsidy related to incomeThe Group receives government subsidies including subsidies for Core Electronic Devices, High-endUniversal Chip and Basic Software Product Projects, Value-Added-Tax rebate (VAT rebate), subsidiesfor special projects, and tax refunds, etc., which are not used for constructions and forms long-term assetsin other ways, and therefore are categorized as government subsidy related to income.
For a government grant related to income, if the grant is a compensation for related expenses or losses tobe incurred in subsequent periods, the grant is recognized as deferred income, and recognized in profit orloss over the periods in which the related costs or losses are recognized. If the grant is a compensation forrelated expenses or losses already incurred, the grant is recognized immediately in profit or loss for theperiod.

For temporary differences between the carrying amounts of certain assets or liabilities and their tax base,or between the nil carrying amount of those items that are not recognized as assets or liabilities and theirtax base that can be determined according to tax laws, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognizedthrough the balance sheet liability method.
Deferred tax is generally recognized for all temporary differences. Deferred tax assets for deductibletemporary differences are recognized to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be availableagainst which the deductible temporary differences can be utilized. However, for temporary differencesassociated with the initial recognition of goodwill and the initial recognition of an asset or liability arisingfrom a transaction (not a business combination) that affects neither the accounting profit nor taxableprofits (or deductible losses) at the time of transaction, no deferred tax asset or liability is recognized.
For deductible losses and tax credits that can be carried forward, deferred tax assets are recognized to theextent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the deductible lossesand tax credits can be utilized.
Deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences associated with investments insubsidiaries, except where the Group is able to control the timing of the reversal of the temporarydifference and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future.Deferred tax assets arising from deductible temporary differences associated with such investments areonly recognized to the extent that it is probable that there will be taxable profits against which to utilizethe benefits of the temporary differences and they are expected to reverse in the foreseeable future.
On the balance sheet date, the deferred income tax assets and deferred income tax liabilities are measuredat the applicable tax rates in the period in which the related assets are recovered or the related liabilitiesare recovered in accordance with the tax laws.
Current and deferred tax expenses or income are recognized in profit or loss for the period, except whenthey arise from transactions or events that are directly recognized in other comprehensive income or inshareholders' equity, in which case they are recognized in other comprehensive income or inshareholders' equity; and when they arise from business combinations, in which case they adjust thecarrying amount of goodwill.
At the balance sheet date, the carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed and reduced if it is nolonger probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available in the future to allow the benefit ofdeferred tax assets to be utilized. Such reduction in amount is reversed when it becomes probable thatsufficient taxable profits will be available.
23.3 Offset of Income TaxWhen the Group has a legal right to settle on a net basis and intends either to settle on a net basis or torealize the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously, current tax assets and current tax liabilities areoffset and presented on a net basis.

24. Lease
Leases are classified as finance leases whenever the terms of the lease transfer substantially all the risksand rewards of ownership to the lessee. All other leases are classified as operating leases.
24.1 Accounting treatment of operating Lease
24.1.1 The Group as lessee under operating leases
Operating lease payments are recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the relevant lease, andare either included in the cost of related asset or charged to profit or loss for the period. Initial direct costsincurred are charged to profit or loss for the period. Contingent rents are charged to profit or loss in theperiod in which they are actually incurred.
24.1.2 The Group as lessor under operating leases
Rental income from operating leases is recognized in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the termof the relevant lease. Initial direct costs with more than an insignificant amount are capitalized whenincurred, and are recognized in profit or loss on the same basis as rental income over the lease term.Other initial direct costs with an insignificant amount are charged to profit or loss in the period in whichthey are incurred. Contingent rents are charged to profit or loss in the period in which they actually arise.

Unrecognized finance charges are recognized as finance charge for the period using the effective interestmethod over the lease term. Contingent rents are credited to profit or loss in the period in which they areactually incurred. The net amount of minimum lease payments less unrecognized finance charges isseparated into long-term liabilities and the portion of long-term liabilities due within one year forpresentation.

The difference between the aggregate of the minimum leasereceivable, the initial direct costs and the unguaranteed residual value, and the aggregate of their presentvalues is recognized as unearned finance income.
Unearned finance income is recognized as finance income for the period using the effective interestmethod over the lease term. Contingent rents are credited to profit or loss in the period in which they areactually incurred.
The net amount of financial lease receivables less unearned finance income is separated into long-termdebts receivable and the portion of long-term debts receivable due within one year for presentation.
25. Repurchase of the Company’s shares
The consideration and transaction costs paid to repurchase the Company’s shares are deducted fromshareholders' equity. No gain or loss is recognized in profit or loss in such repurchase.
26. Important judgments while applying accounting policy, and key assumptions and uncertaintyfactors applied for accounting estimateDuring the process of using accounting policy described in note (III), due to the uncertainty in operationactivities, the group should judge, estimate and assume the book value of the report items which may notbe metered reliably. These judgments, estimates and assumptions are based on the historical experience ofthe Group's management and other related factors. Differences may exist between the actual results andthe Group’s estimate.
The Group regularly reviews the above judgments, assumptions and estimations on the basis ofcontinuous operation. If the changes of accounting estimate only influence current period, the influenceamount will be affirmed during the changing period; if it influences the current period and subsequentperiods, the influence amount will be recognized in the current period and future period.
- Key assumptions and uncertainties used in accounting estimate
On balance sheet date, key assumptions and uncertainties for performing accounting estimates on bookvalue of assets and liabilities in subsequent future periods are:
Impairment of the fixed assets
At the balance sheet date, the Group will review whether fixed assets have signs that impairment is likelyto occur. When the signs indicate that the carrying amount cannot be repurchased, then the impairment
Notes to Financial StatementsFor the reporting period from January 1
st

st
2018
test shall be implemented. The impairment occurred when the book value of asset or asset group is higherthan the recoverable amount, which is the net amount of fair value minus the disposal expenses or thepresent value of expected future cash flow (whichever is higher). The net amount of fair value minusdisposal expenses is determined by deducting the incremental cost which directly belongs to the assetsdisposal referring to the price of sales agreement of similar assets in fair transaction or the observablemarket price. When predicting present value of future cash flows, management team must estimate thepredicted future cash flows of the said asset or asset portfolio, and shall select proper discount rate toconfirm the present value of future cash flows. Based on the above procedure, the Group's managementteam deems that it is not necessary to withdraw provision of fixed assets impairment.
Useful life and predicted net residual value of fixed asset
The Group's estimation of fixed assets useful life is based on the historical experience of actual usableterm of fixed assets with similar properties and functions, the estimation of predicted net residual value isthe amount obtained currently by the Group from the assets after deducting the anticipated disposalexpense based on the anticipated status assuming the conditions that fixed assets' predicted useful lifeexpires and fixed assets are at the end of useful life. The Group shall conduct the review on the predictedservice life and predicted net residual value of fixed assets at least annually. For the current reportingperiod, the Group's management did not see signs either indicating a shortened or extended useful life ofthe Group’s fixed asset or indicating a change in predicted net residual value.
Impairment of accounts receivables
When there is a clear evidence to make the accounts receivables collection in doubt, then the Group willcalculate and withdraw the impairment provision to the accounts receivables. Because the Group'smanagement needs to judge the historic conditions of receivable collection, aging, debtor's financialcondition and overall economic environment when considering the impairment provision, there areuncertainties related to the calculation of impairment provision. Although there is no reason to believethat the estimation applied when calculating the impairment provision of accounts receivables will havesignificant changes in the future, the book value and impairment loss of accounts receivables will changewhen the future actual result is different from the anticipated and original estimations.
Accrued liabilities of product quality warranty
Accrued liabilities of product quality assurance are an estimation made by the Group according to thepredicted repair and replacement cost of relevant products. The estimation considers the product claimrate trend, historic defect rate, industry practice and other major estimations. The management deems thatthe current estimation on accrued liabilities of product quality warranty is reasonable, however, the Groupwill continue to review the conditions of product repairs, and will conduct adjustment if any signindicating the need to make adjustments on accounting estimates.
Impairment provision for inventories
Inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value. The Group will regularly conduct acomprehensive stocktaking to review the impairment circumstances on outmoded and dull inventory if

2018
any; in addition, the Group's management will regularly review the impairment circumstance of inventorywith long storage time according to the inventory aging list. The review procedure includes thecomparison between carrying value of outmoded, dull inventory and inventory with long storage time andits corresponding net realizable value in order to determine whether to withdraw provisions on theoutmoded, dull inventory and inventory with long storage time. Based on the above procedure, theGroup's management deems that the full provision amounts have been withdrawn for the outmoded, dullinventory and inventory with long storage time
Assets from deferred income tax
The realization of deferred income tax assets mainly depends on the actual future profits and the effectivetax rate of temporary difference in the future applicable years. If the actual profit in the future is less thanthe estimation, or actual tax rate is lower than the estimation, then the confirmed deferred income taxassets will be reversed and confirmed in the income statement during the corresponding period. If theactual profit in the future is more than the estimation, or actual tax rate is higher than the estimation, thenthe corresponding deferred income tax assets will be adjusted and confirmed in the income statementduring the corresponding period.
Long-term equity investment impairment
The Group judges whether there is any possibility of impairment of long-term equity investments on thebalance sheet date. When there is an indication that the carrying amount is not recoverable, theimpairment test is carried out, and the impairment provision is measured at the lower of the carryingamount and the recoverable amount. The recoverable amount of an asset or asset group is determined bythe higher of the fair value of the asset or asset group less the disposal expense and the present value ofthe estimated future cash flows of the asset or asset group. When estimating the present value of futurecash flows, management needs to estimate the future cash flows of the asset or asset group and select anappropriate discount rate to determine the present value of future cash flows. When calculating the netamount for the fair value less disposal costs to sell, the fair value is the price that the market participantcan receive when selling an asset in an orderly transaction that occurs on the measurement date. If thereassessed recoverable amount is lower than the current estimate, the difference will affect the book valueof the asset during the change.
Goodwill impairment
When performing impairment test on goodwill, the predicted present value of future cash flow of relevantasset group or asset group portfolio included the goodwill need to be calculated, the future cash flow ofrelevant asset group or asset group portfolio need to be estimated, and the proper pretax rate that fairlyreflects the current market time value of money and specific asset risk need to be determined. When thefuture actual result is different from the original estimation, the goodwill impairment loss will alter.

1.1.2. Interest rate risk-risk related to changes in cash flow
.The Group's risk related to changes in the cash flow of financial instruments due to changes in interest rates is mainlyrelated to floating interest rate bank borrowings. The Group's policy is to maintain the floating rate of these borrowingsto eliminate the risk of changes in the fair value of interest rates.
The Group's amount of borrowings with floating interest rate at the end of the year was not significant, and the risk ofchanges in cash flows of financial instruments due to changes in interest rates was relatively low. Therefore, Interest raterisk sensitivity analysis was not conducted.
1.2 Credit risk
As of December 31
st
2018, the biggest credit risk exposure that may cause financial loss suffered by the Group wasmainly due to the other party’s inability to fulfill obligations that caused the loss on the Group’s financial assets,which include:
The book value of a confirmed financial asset in the consolidated balance sheet : for those financial instruments thatare measured by fair value, the book value reflects its risk exposure rather than its biggest risk exposure, the biggestrisk exposure will change as the future fair value changes.
In order to minimize credit risk, the Group has established a team responsible for formulating credit limit, creditapproval and implementing other monitoring procedures to ensure necessary follow-up measures are carried out torecover the overdue debts. In addition, the Group reviews the recovery of each individual receivable at each balancesheet date to ensure that sufficient provision for bad debts is made for uncollectible funds. As such, themanagement of the Group believes that the Group’s exposure to credit risk has been significantly lowered.

The Group only deposits cash and cash equivalents into banks with relatively high level of credit rating; as such therisk of cash and cash equivalents is low.
The Group has adopted necessary policies to ensure that all the sales customers have good credit records. Since theGroup’s risk exposure exists in several parties to the contract and certain customers, the Group has no othersignificant concentration of credit risk.
