Due to the particularity of video information, it is priority to achieve the "reliable storage and efficient retrieving"; especially in the context of mass video information, under which video storage products should have higher storage security and reading efficiency. The R&D team for storage of Hikvision has focused on development of storage technology for years and took the lead in launching a number of advanced technologies in the industry. The "Active object mass storage systems and key technologies" (主动对象海量存储系统及关键技术) was granted the second place of National Technology Invention Award. The cloud storage system of Hikvision applies the design idea for the user-oriented business applications and integrates the technologies of cluster application, load balancing, virtualization, cloud structuring, discrete storage, and disaster recovery backup. The Company provides users with high-performance, highly reliable and uninterrupted video, picture data storage and business access services, which are suitable for mass PB-level video and image data storage. Given that the hardware device scale and storage capacity continued to expand, the performance and storage capacity of video cloud storage system maintained a linear growth, and this attribute laid a foundation for the expansion of cloud services on the basis of video cloud storage. Control and display products are usually located in the monitoring center and used for presentation of the image and information in the monitoring center, mainly composed of the Multifunction Video Center(视频综合 平台), LCD/DLP (splicing) large screen, small pitch LED large screen and large screen controller products, controlling keyboard, and etc. The Multifunction Video Center is originated by Hikvision and integrates HD video coding and decoder, display control, storage control, intelligent analysis, centralized control and other features to greatly simplify the monitoring center deployment architecture. Since its first release in 2010, it has become a classic device in the industry. 15 Hikvision 2016 Annual Report The Comprehensive Management Platform (综合管理平台) is the platform software for the management of the above-mentioned products/systems and helps users to integrate various resources of the system based on the network, providing abundant security and application functions, so as to maximize the power of technical protection and enhance the users’ ability to deal with various security incidents and risks. Security business is the Company's core business and traditional pillar business, which is mainly to satisfy the security protection needs of users. With the accumulation and innovation of techonologies, the Company used a variety of new technical protection measures to help users to constantly enhance the response to a variety of security risks and problems. At the same time, the Company is conducting another major business filed, the management visualization (可视化管理), to meet the need of promoting business management capability, adopting visualization technology to help users to expand their management methods, improve their management capabilities, hereby enhancing business management efficiency. The visualization management solution oriented on industry applications is an important part of Hikvision's business system. Since Hikvision commenced the solution business in 2008, the Company's solution team has formed a complete solution product system which continues to deepen the development through conducting in-depth research on user business scenarios for customized needs of seven vertical industries including the Public Security, Finance, Transportation, Judicial System, Energy, Intelligent Building, as well as Education and Healthcare and hundreds of sub-sectors. In response to the core needs of industrial users to enhance business management capabilities, the Company helped users build a complete perception network covering information collection, 16 Hikvision 2016 Annual Report transmission, storage, analysis and application, with application of Intelligent Visual Management Software (iVMS), to achieve the business management innovation model, so as to enhance the business management efficiency. Take the transportation industry as an example, Hikvision’s intelligent city transportation comprehensive management solution integrates video surveillance system, monitoring point, electronic police, UAV, traffic signals and many other means of perception and provides penalties for traffic violation acts, intersection control, traffic guidance, special rectification, traffic information services and other functions based on intelligent analysis and big data technology. It can meet the needs of various intelligent traffic management applications and transform the video information into front-line productivity, shorten the decision-making time, reduce the labor cost, improve the work efficiency, and promote transition of the urban traffic management to the three-dimensional, visualized, and intelligent development. Users’ needs to use visual means to enhance the business management ability have already existed in the beginning of the appearance of video surveillance system. Due to the limitation of technology in the past, users could only manually extract the key information in the video, therefore, the practical application is limited. In recent years, with application of the computer vision-based video intelligent analysis technology, computers can make elementary analysis and identification of certain specific objects and scenario characteristics, which solves the problems of only relying on labor to some extent and helps users carry out some simple visual management business applications. However, this application is still limited by insufficient computer analysis accuracy and unsatisfied multi-dimensional information processing capabilities due to constraints such as computing capabilities, data size, and so on. As the deep learning algorithm gets mature, training data size expands and hardware computing capabilities enhance, machines can do better than people in many aspects. This provides a broader room for the development of visual management business. Compared with the traditional intelligent analysis algorithm, the deep learning algorithm can advance the "intelligence" to higher accuracy, greater environmental adaptability and richer identification of object types to tap the needs for deeper level of data value. Hikvision paid much attention to the intelligent technology development in the computer vision field since its inception. The Company started the research and development of intelligent analysis technology in 2006 and made the technical layout of deep learning in 2013; it formally established Hikvision Research Institute (海康威 视研究院) in 2014, focusing on the research of perception, intelligent analysis, cloud storage, cloud computing 17 Hikvision 2016 Annual Report and video big data.

The identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities that are achieved by the purchaser in merger and confirmed by the purchased party shall be measured with the fair value on the purchase day. When combination cost is higher than fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired from the purchased party due to combination, the difference will be confirmed as goodwill and measured initially at cost. When combination cost is lower than air value of the identifiable net assets acquired from the purchased party due to combination, reexamination shall be made to the measurement of fair value of all identifiable net assets acquired from the purchased party and combination cost. If combination cost is still lower than the said air value, the difference shall be included into current profit or loss. 116 Hikvision 2016 Annual Report Notes on Financial Statements For fiscal year period from January 1st 2016 to December 31st 2016 Goodwill arising on a business combination is stated separately in the consolidated financial statement, and the measurement is made its costs minus the accumulative impairment provisions. 6.

The exchange balance between the spot rate on that day and initial spot rate or spot rate on former balance sheet date is included into current profits and losses besides the exchange balance of foreign currency borrowings meeting capitalization conditions is included into the capital cost upon capitalization during capitalization period. Where the preparation of consolidated financial statements is involved in overseas operation, in case of any foreign currency monetary items of net investment in an overseas operation substantially, then the exchange balance occurred due to exchange rate movement shall be listed in "Foreign Currency Statement Conversion Balance" of shareholders' equity. When disposing overseas operation, it is included into the profits and losses of the current period. For foreign currency non-monetary items measured by historic cost, spot rate on date of transaction occurrence shall be used for conversion and its recording currency amount. For foreign currency non-monetary items measured by fair value, spot rate on the fair value determination day will be used for conversion. The difference between the converted recording currency amount and original recording currency amount shall be taken as the fair value fluctuation (including exchange rate fluctuation) and included into current profits and losses or other comprehensive income. 118 Hikvision 2016 Annual Report Notes on Financial Statements For fiscal year period from January 1st 2016 to December 31st 2016 8.2 Conversion of Foreign Currency Financial Statement In order to prepare the consolidated financial statements, the foreign currency financial statement of overseas operation shall be converted as RMB statement according to the following methods: All assets and liabilities items in the balance sheet shall be converted according to the spot rate of the balance sheet date; The shareholders' equity item shall be converted according to spot rate at the time of occurrence; All items in profit statement and all items of reflecting the income distribution amount shall be converted according to the exchange rate similar to spot rate of transaction date; The difference between the converted assets items and total number of liabilities items and shareholders' equity items is determined as other comprehensive incomes and is included in the shareholder's equity.

The actual interest rate refers to the interest rate adopted to cash the future cash flow of a financial asset or financial liability within the predicted term of existence or within a shorter applicable term into the current carrying amount of the financial asset or financial liability. For calculation of actual interest, the Group shall predict the future cash flow on the basis of taking into account all the contractual provisions concerning the financial asset or financial liability (the future credit losses shall not be taken into account), and take into account various fee charges, trading expenses, premiums or reduced values, etc., which are paid or collected by the parties to a financial asset or financial liability contract and which form a part of the actual interest rate. 9.2 Classification, Confirmation and Measurement of the Financial Assets Financial asset shall be classified into the following four categories when they are initially recognized: the financial assets which are measured at their fair values and the variation of which is recorded into the profits and losses of the current period, the investments which will be held to their maturity, loans and the account receivables and financial assets available for sale.

Financial assets which are measured at fair value and of which the variation is included in the current profits and losses shall be measured at the fair value subsequently. Profits and losses generated from 120 Hikvision 2016 Annual Report Notes on Financial Statements For fiscal year period from January 1st 2016 to December 31st 2016 variation of fair value and earnings from dividend and interest related to the financial assets shall be included into profits and losses of the current period. 9.2.2 Investments Held To Maturity The term "held-to-maturity investment" refers to a non-derivative financial asset with a fixed date of maturity, a fixed or determinable amount of repo price and which the Group holds for a definite purpose or the enterprise is able to hold until its maturity.

The Group's financial assets that are divided into the loan and receivables include notes receivables, accounts receivables, other receivables, other current assets and long-term receivables, etc. The loan and receivables adopt the effective interest method, and shall conduct subsequent measurement according to amortized costs. The gains or losses arising from derecognition, impairment or amortization should all be included into the current profits and losses. 9.2.4 Available-for-sale Financial Assets The "sellable financial assets" include the non-derivative financial assets which are designated as sellable when they are initially recognized as well as the financial assets other than financial assets measured at their fair values and of which the variation is recorded into the profits and losses of the current period, loans and accounts receivables and investments held until their maturity. The subsequent measurement may be conducted for the available-for-sale financial assets by the fair value; the gains or losses formed from the changes of fair value, except that the impairment losses as well as the relevant exchange balance between foreign currency monetary financial assets and amortized cost are included into current profits and losses, are determined as other comprehensive incomes which shall be transferred out during the derecognition of such financial assets and included into current profits and losses.

Where there is any objective evidence proving that such financial asset has been impaired, an impairment provision shall be made. The objective evidences showing the impairment of financial assets refer to the matters that happen after the initial recognition of financial assets and influence the expected future cash flows of financial assets, and the influence can be reliably measured by the Company.

Where any financial asset is recognized as having suffered from any impairment loss, if there is any objective evidence proving that 122 Hikvision 2016 Annual Report Notes on Financial Statements For fiscal year period from January 1st 2016 to December 31st 2016 9.3 Impairment of Financial Asset -continued the value of the said financial asset has been restored, and it is objectively related to the events that occur after such loss is recognized, the impairment-related loss as originally recognized shall be reversed and be recorded into the profiles and losses of the current period. However, the reversed carrying amounts shall not be paid more than the post-amortization costs of the said financial asset on the day of reverse under the assumption that no provision is made for the impairment. An independent impairment test shall be made by the Group on the financial assets with significant single amounts. Regarding the financial assets with insignificant single amounts, an independent impairment test shall be carried out, or they shall be included in a combination of financial assets with similar credit risk features so as to carry out an impairment-related test. Where, upon independent test, the financial asset (including those financial assets with significant amounts and those with insignificant amounts) has not been impaired, it shall be included in a combination of financial assets with similar risk features so as to conduct another impairment test. The financial assets which have suffered from an impairment loss in any single amount shall not be included in any combination of financial assets with similar risk features for any impairment test. - Available-for-sale financial assets impairment In case of impairment in available-for-sale financial assets, transfer out the accumulated losses originally included into other comprehensive incomes and formed due to fair value depreciation and include into current profits and losses. The transferred-out accumulated losses are the balance of initial asset acquisition cost, deducting recovered principal, amortized amount, current fair value and impairment loss originally included into profits and losses. After the confirmation of impairment loss, if the objective evidence shows that the value of the financial assets is recovered after the period and it is objectively related with events happening after the confirmation of the loss, the originally confirmed impairment loss will be switched back; the impairment loss for the available-for-sale equity instrument investment is switched back and confirmed as other comprehensive incomes and the impairment loss for available-for-sale debt instrument is switched back and included into current profits and losses. - The financial assets impairment measured by the costs When equity instrument investment which is not quoted in an active market and whose fair value cannot be measured reliably, or derivative financial assets which is linked with the equity instrument and has to make settlement by delivering the equity instrument has asset depreciation, the book value shall be reduced to the present value determined by discounted cash flow based on market return of similar financial asset at that time which is recognized as impairment loss and shall be included into the current profits and losses.

Provision for inventories is generally made as the excess of the cost of single inventory item over its net realizable value. After provision for inventory depreciation reserves is made, if the factors resulting in the write-down of inventory 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 in profits and losses of the current period. 11.4 Inventory System for Inventory The inventory system is a perpetual inventory system. 11.5 Amortization Method for Low-value Consumables and Packaging Packing materials and low-price easily-worn materials are amortized by the one-time writing-off process. 12. Long-term Equity Investment 12.1 Judgment Standard of Joint Control and Significant Impact Control right means that an investor may control an investee; the investor may participate in relevant activities of the investee to obtain variable rewards and also be able to use the control rights for the investee to influence its amount of returns. Joint control means that joint control for certain arrangement in accordance with relevant agreements; activities relevant to the arrangement cannot be decided until obtaining the unanimous approval of participants sharing the control right. The significant influence refers to having the power to participate in the formulation of financial and operating policies of the invested entity, but no power to control or jointly control the formulation of these policies together with other parties. When it is confirmed whether or not the invested unit can be controlled or significantly influenced, the following potential vote power factors have been considered: transferable bond and warrants executable in the current period by the investing enterprise and other invested units held by it, etc. 12.2 Confirmation of Initial Investment Costs For the long-term equity investment acquired through the enterprise merger under the common control, the shares of merged party's book value of owners' equity in the final controlling party consolidated 129 Hikvision 2016 Annual Report Notes on Financial Statements For fiscal year period from January 1st 2016 to December 31st 2016 financial statements obtained on the merger date shall act as the initial investment cost of long-term equity investment. The differences between the initial investment cost of long-term equity investment and the paid cash, the transferred non-cash assets and the book value of the assumed debts are adjusted against the capital surplus; if the capital surplus is not sufficient to be offset, the remaining balance is adjusted against retained earnings. In the case of issued equity securities treated as consolidation consideration, share of book value of owner's equity of merged party in a combined financial statement of the final controlling party is regarded as initial investment cost of long-term equity investments on the date of consolidation; capital reserve shall be adjusted in accordance with taking total nominal value of issued share as capital share, the difference between the initial investment cost of long-term equity investments and total book value of issued shares; In case the capital reserve is not enough for writing down, the retained earnings shall be adjusted. The long-term equity investments obtained by the combination of controlling interests under different control and the merger cost confirmed on the purchased date are regarded as the initial investment cost. The expenses made by the combining party or purchaser for audit, legal service, assessment and other management related expenses during the business merger should be included into the current profit and loss as it happens. Conduct initial measurement according the cost for other equity investment other than the long-term equity investment formed in business merger. In case that the investor may post a significant impact on the investee or execute joint control but not constitute the control right, long-term equity investment cost is the sum of fair value of original and determined held equity investment and newly-increased investment cost in accordance with No. 22 Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises----Recognition and Measure of the Financial Instruments. 12.3 Subsequent Measurement and Profit and Loss Confirmation Method 12.3.1 Long-term Equity Investments of Cost Method Accounting Financial statement shall be calculated through the cost method, in relation to the long-term equity investments of subsidiaries. Subsidiary corporation means the investee body which can be controlled by the Group. The long-term equity investment accounted by the cost method shall be measured at its initial investment cost. If there are additional investments or disinvestments, the long-term equity investment cost shall be adjusted. Income from the investment in the current period shall be recognized in accordance with the cash dividends or profits declared and issued by the investee. 130 Hikvision 2016 Annual Report Notes on Financial Statements For fiscal year period from January 1st 2016 to December 31st 2016 12.3 Subsequent Measurement and Profit and Loss Confirmation Method - Continued 12.3.2 Long-term Equity Investments of Equity Method Accounting Investment in consortium and joint venture is accounted for using the equity method. Consortium refers to investee on which the Group has significant influence; joint venture refers to investee over which the Group is able to jointly exercise control together with other investors. Associated enterprise means that the investee which can be greatly influenced by the group; joint enterprise means a kind of joint arrangement and the group only has control rights of such net assets. When the equity method is adopted, where exceeding the Company’s share of the fair value of the invested party’s identifiable net assets at investment date, the initial investment cost of the long-term equity investment is kept unadjusted; where the initial investment cost of the long-term equity investment is less than the Company’s share of the fair value of the invested party’s identifiable net assets at the investment date, the differences are recorded as profit & loss for the current period and the costs of long-term equity investment are adjusted simultaneously. When the equity method is used for the accounting, in accordance with the shares in the net profits and losses, and other comprehensive incomes of the invested unit which the Company is entitled to share or bear, the investment income and other comprehensive incomes are determined separately, and meanwhile the book value of the long-term equity investment shall be adjusted; The Company shall accordingly reduce the book value of the long-term equity investment in terms of the part that shall be enjoyed according to the profit or cash dividends declared by the invested unit to be distributed; For other changes in the owners' equity of the invested unit other than net profits and losses, other comprehensive incomes and the profit distribution, the book value of long-term equity investment shall be adjusted and be included into the capital reserves. The Company shall, on the ground of the fair value of all identifiable assets of the invested entity when it obtains the investment, recognize the attributable share 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 those adopted by the Company, the adjustment shall be made for the financial statements of the invested unit in accordance with the accounting policies and accounting periods of the Company to recognize the investment income and other comprehensive incomes. For the transaction incurred between the group and associated enterprises and joint ventures, invested or sold assets don't constitute a business, the part that doesn't achieve internal transaction profit or loss or belongs to the group calculated according to the enjoyed ratio will be offset, and the profit or loss on investment will be confirmed on this basis. But for the unrealized loss arising from the internal transaction between the group and the invested unit, if such transaction 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 to write-down the book value of the long-term equity investment and other long-term equities substantially constituting the net investment of the invested unit to zero as a limit. Besides, if the group is obliged to bear extra loss for the investment unit, it shall be necessary to determine provisionsf and record them to current investment loss in compliance with obligations expected to be assumed. If the invested unit realizes any net profits later, the group shall, after the amount of its attributable share of profits offsets its attributable share of the un-confirmed losses, resume to recognize its attributable share of profits. 131 Hikvision 2016 Annual Report Notes on Financial Statements For fiscal year period from January 1st 2016 to December 31st 2016 12.4 Disposing of Long-term Equity Investment When disposing of a long-term equity investment, the difference between its book value and the actual purchase price shall be recorded into the current profits and losses. 13. Fixed Assets 13.1 The Conditions of Recognition The fixed assets refer to tangible assets held for commodity production, rendering of labor service, renting or operation management, having a service life of more than one accounting year. The fixed asset can be confirmed only when the economic interest related to a fixed asset is likely to flow into the group, and the cost of such fixed asset can be reliably measured. Fixed assets are measured initially in accordance with costs. Subsequent expenditures related to fixed assets are included in costs of fixed assets when the associated economic benefits are likely to flow to the Group and the costs can be measured reliably, and the book value of the replaced part is derecognized; all other subsequent expenditures are included in profits and losses in the current period when incurred. Other subsequent expenditures except for the above said subsequent expenditure shall be included into the current profit and loss once occurred. 13.2 Depreciation Method From the following month when fixed assets reach the estimated applicable status on, the counting and withdrawing depreciation shall be conducted in its service life using age limit average method. The service lives, expected rates of net residual value and annual depreciation rates of the fixed assets are as follows: Annual Depreciation Salvage value Class depreciation life (year) rate (%) rate (%) Houses and buildings 20 years 10 4.5 Common facilities 3-5 years 10 18.0-30.0 Special-purpose 3-5 years 10 18.0-30.0 equipment Transport equipment 5 years 10 18.0 The predicted net residual value refers to the expected amount that the group may obtain from the current disposal of a fixed asset after deducting the expected disposal expenses at the expiration of its predicted service life. 13.3 Identification Basis, Valuation and Depreciation Method of Fixed Assets of Financial Lease 132 Hikvision 2016 Annual Report Notes on Financial Statements For fiscal year period from January 1st 2016 to December 31st 2016 On the commencement date of the lease term, record the fair value of the leasing asset or the present value of the minimum lease payments on the lease commencement date, whichever is lower, as the entry value of the leased asset, make the amount of the minimum lease payments as the entry value of long-term account payable, and recognize the balance between the entry value of the leased asset and that of the long-term account payables as unrecognized financing charges. In addition, the initial direct costs directly attributable to the leased item incurred during the process of lease negotiating and signing the leasing agreement shall be included into the asset value of the rent. The Group applies depreciation policy consistent with its own fixed assets to depreciate the rented fixed assets under financing lease. If it is reasonable to be certain that the Company will obtain the ownership of the leased asset when the lease term expires, the leased asset may be fully depreciated over its useful life. If it is not reasonable to be certain that the Company will obtain the ownership of the leased asset at the expiry of the lease term, the leased asset may be fully depreciated over the shorter one of the lease term or its useful life. If the ownership of the leased asset can be reasonably confirmed on the lease term expiry, the accrual depreciation shall be conducted within the service life of the lease asset; if not, the accrual depreciation shall be conducted within the shorter of two periods, namely the lease term and the service life of lease asset. 13.4 Other Instructions The fixed assets are derecognized when the fixed assets are in disposed state or no future economic benefits are expected from their use or disposal. The amount of proceeds on sale and transfer of a fixed asset as well as disposal of a scrapped or damaged fixed asset less its book value and related taxes, are recognized in profits and losses of the current period. The Group performs review on service life, predicted net residual value and depreciation method of fixed assets at the end of the year, any changes will be treated as changes in accounting estimates. 14. Construction in Process The cost of construction in process shall be measured as per actual costs, including various engineering expenditures in the construction process, capitalized borrowing expenses for making the engineering reach the expected serviceable condition, other relevant costs, etc. No depreciation calculated and withdrawn arises from construction in process. The construction in process shall be transferred to the fixed assets when it reaches the expected serviceable condition. For those that could reach to the expected serviceable condition, but haven't gone through the procedures for the final accounts of the completed projects, they will be converted to fixed assets according to the estimated value. When they have gone through the final accounts of the completed projects, the provisional estimate value of the original fixed assets will be adjusted according to the actual costs. 15. Borrowing Expenses Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition & construction or production of assets eligible for capitalization shall be capitalized when assets expenditure, borrowing costs and necessary construction or production for bringing assets to expected conditions for use or marketing have taken 133 Hikvision 2016 Annual Report Notes on Financial Statements For fiscal year period from January 1st 2016 to December 31st 2016 place; when construction or production of assets ready for capitalization reach to expected conditions for use or marketing, capitalization shall be ceased. Other borrowing expenses are recognized as expenses in the current period. After actual interest expense generated from the specific loan for current period, minus interest income from the yet unused borrowed money kept in the bank or investment income made from temporary investment, these amounts are capitalized; The capitalizing amount is determined after the weighted average of excess part of accumulative asset expenditures compared to the asset expenditure of special borrowing multiplied by the capitalization rate of the general borrowing. The capitalization rate shall be calculated and determined in light of the weighted average interest rate of the general borrowing. In the capitalization period, all exchange balance of special foreign currency borrowing shall be capitalized; Exchange balance of general foreign currency borrowing shall be included in the current profit and loss. 16. Intangible Assets 16.1 Intangible Assets Intangible assets include land use right, intellectual property and application software, etc. The initial measurement of intangible assets shall be made at its cost.

The expenditures in the research stage and development stage, if failing to be classified, shall be totally included into the current profit and loss. 17. Long-term Assets Impairment The Group checks whether the intangible assets determined by a long-term equity investment, fixed assets, construction in process and service life have any signs of possible impairment at each balance sheet date. For the assets with signs of impairment, their recoverable amount will be estimated. The intangible assets with uncertain service life and the intangible assets which have not yet reached serviceable condition shall be give impairment test every year no matter whether there are signs of impairment. The recoverable amount of estimated assets shall be based on single assets; if it is difficult to estimate the recoverable amount of single assets, the recoverable amount of the asset group shall be determined based on its belonging asset group. The recoverable amount shall be determined in light of the higher one between the net amount of the fair value of the assets or asset group deducted by the disposal expenses and the present value of the expected future cash flow. If the recoverable amount of assets is lower than its book value, assets impairment preparation shall be counted and drawn based on its balance and be included in the current profits and losses. Goodwill impairment test shall be conducted at the end of each year at least. Goodwill impairment test shall be conducted in accordance with the concerned asset group or asset portfolio. That is to allocate the book value of goodwill to the asset group or asset portfolio that is expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination in a reasonable way from the date of purchasing. When recoverable amount of apportion-included asset group or asset portfolio of goodwill is less than book value of goodwill, impairment loss shall be confirmed. Firstly, amount of impairment loss shall be apportioned to the book value of goodwill of the said asset group or asset portfolio, and then book value of other assets, except for goodwill, in asset group or asset portfolio shall be abated in proportion. Once above asset impairment losses are confirmed, they are not reversed in subsequent accounting periods. 18.

If the transaction expense paid in the process of repurchasing this Company shares reduces the shareholders' equity, then gains or losses shall not be determined. 26. Important judgments used during accounting policy process and key assumptions and uncertainty factors used in accounting estimate During the process of using accounting policy described in note (III), due to the uncertainty in operation activities, the group should judge, estimate and assume the book value which may not be metered accurately. These judgments, estimates and assumptions are based on the historical experience of the Group's management level and other key factors. Differences may exist in the actual results and the group estimate. The Group regularly reviews the above judgments, assumptions and estimations on the basis of continuous operation. If the changes of accounting estimate only influence current period, the influence number will be affirmed during the changing period; if it influences the current period and future period, the influence number 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 in book value of assets and liabilities in future period caused by the accounting estimate mainly are Impairment of the fixed assets At the balance sheet date, the Group will check whether fixed assets have signs that depreciation is likely to occur. When the signs indicate that the carrying amount cannot be repurchased, then the 143 Hikvision 2016 Annual Report Notes on Financial Statements For fiscal year period from January 1st 2016 to December 31st 2016 impairment test shall be implemented. The impairment occurred when the book value of assets or asset group is higher than the recoverable amount, namely the net amount of fair value minus the disposal expenses or the present value of expected future cash flow (which is higher). The net amount of fair value minimum disposal expenses is determined by deducting the incremental cost which directly belongs to the assets disposal referring to the price of sales agreement of similar assets in fair transaction or the observable market price. When predicting present value of future cash flows, management level must estimate the predicted future cash flows of the said asset or asset portfolio, and shall select proper discount rate to confirm the present value of future cash flows. Based on the above procedure, the Group's management level deems that fixed assets shall not need to calculate and withdraw the impairment reserve. Service life and predicted net residual value of fixed asset The Group's estimation of fixed assets serviceable life is based on the historical experience of actual usable term of fixed assets with similar properties and functions, the estimation of predicted net residual value is the amount obtained currently by the Group from the assets after deducting the anticipated disposal expense based on the anticipated status assuming that fixed assets' predicted service life expires and fixed assets are at the end of service life. The Group shall conduct the review on the predicted service life and predicted net residual value of fixed assets at least at the end of each year, this year the Group's management level fails to find the conditions to make the Group's fixed asset service life shortened or extended and need to change predicted net residual value. Impairment of accounts receivables When there is a clear evidence to make the accounts receivables recovery in doubt, then the Group will calculate and withdraw the impairment preparation to the accounts receivables. Because the Group's management level needs to decide the historic payment collection, aging, debtor's financial condition and overall economic environment when considering the impairment reserve, so the calculation of impairment reserve has the uncertainty. Although there is no reason to believe that the based estimation will have a major change in the future when calculating the impairment of accounts receivables, the book value and impairment loss of accounts receivables will change when the future actual result is different from the anticipated and original estimation. Accrued liabilities of product quality assurance Accrued liabilities of product quality assurance are an estimation made by the Group according to the repair and replacement cost of predicted relevant products. The estimation is involved in the product claim rate trend, history defect rate, industry practice and other major estimations. The management level deems that the current estimation on accrued liabilities of product quality assurance is reasonable, but the Group will continue to review the product after-sales service, the Group will conduct adjustment during the period of sign occurrence once there are indications that the accounting assumptions need to be adjusted Provision for impairment of inventories 144 Hikvision 2016 Annual Report Notes on Financial Statements For fiscal year period from January 1st 2016 to December 31st 2016 Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value. The Group will regularly conduct a comprehensive inventory to determine whether there are outmoded and dull inventory and to review the impairment circumstances, in addition, the Group's management level will regularly review the impairment circumstance of inventory with long storage time according to the inventory storage time list. The review procedure includes the comparison between book value of outmoded, dull inventory and inventory with long storage time and its corresponding net realizable value in order to determine whether the outmoded, dull inventory and inventory with long storage time need to calculate and withdraw reserve in the financial statements. Based on the above procedure, the Group's management level deems that the full falling price reserves have been calculated and withdrawn for the outmoded, dull inventory and inventory with long storage time Assets from deferred income tax The realization of deferred income tax assets mainly depends on the future actual profit and the effective tax rate of temporary difference in the future use year. If the actual profit in the future is less than the estimation, or actual tax rate is lower than the estimation, then the confirmed deferred income tax assets will be turned back and be confirmed in the income statement during the period of return-back. If the actual profit in the future is more than the estimation, or actual tax rate is higher than the estimation, then the corresponding deferred income tax assets will be adjusted and be confirmed in the income statement during the condition occurrence. Goodwill impairment When the goodwill conducts the impairment test, this needs to calculate the predicted present value of future cash flow of relevant asset group or asset group combination included in the goodwill, and needs to predict the future cash flow of relevant asset group or asset group combination, and needs to determine a proper pretax rate that reflects the current market time value of money and specific asset risk. When the future actual result is different from the original estimation, then the goodwill impairment loss will change. IV.

The cash flow projections are based on 2017-2021 Financial Budgets approved by management covering a 5-year period, with discount rates of 18% to 20%. The sets of cash flows beyond the 5-year period are projected without growth. This growth rates are based on the relevant industry growth forecasts and do not exceed the average long-term growth rate for the relevant industry. Expected cash inflows/outflows, which include budgeted net sales, cost of revenue and operating expenses, have been determined by management based on past performance and expectations for the future market development.

Below are the risks associated with such financial instruments and the risk management policies adopted by the Group to mitigate such risks. The management of the Group manages and monitors such risk exposures to ensure such risks are contained within a prescribed scope. The Company adopts sensitivity analysis techniques to analyse the possible effects of rational and probable changes in risk variables to profit or loss for the period or to the interests of shareholders. Since risk variables seldom change on a stand-alone basis, while the correlation between variables may have significant influence to the ultimate amount of change effected by the change in a single risk variable, the analysis below is based on the assumption that the changes in each variable occurred separately. 1. Objectives and policies of risk management The Group engages in risk management with the aim of achieving an appropriate balance between risk and return, where the negative effects of risks against the Group’s operating results are minimized, in order to maximize the benefits of shareholders and other stakeholders. Based on such objective in risk management, the underlying strategy of the Group’s risk management is to ascertain and analyze all types of risks exposures of the Group, establish appropriate risk tolerance thresholds, carry out risk management procedures and perform risk monitoring on all kinds of risks in a timely and reliable manner, thus containing risk exposures within a prescribed scope. 1.1 Market risks 1.1.1. Foreign exchange risks Foreign exchange risks refer to the risk that losses will occur because of changes in foreign exchange rates. The Company is primarily exposed to risks relating to the currencies such as USD and EUR. The Group’s subsidiaries in the mainland of China whose procurement, sales and financing are denominated in RMB, USD and EUR, other principal activities are settled in RMB. The Group’s subsidiaries in Hong Kong and outside China are principally engaged in procurement, sales, financing and other major business activities in local currencies such as USD, EUR, GBP and RUB. As at 31 December 2016, except for monetary items of foreign currencies set out in Note (V), 53, the Group mainly adopted the functional currency of each of its subsidiary to present the balance of its assets and liabilities. The foreign exchange risks arising from assets and liabilities denominated in USD and EUR (which has been translated into RMB) as follows may affect the operating results of the Group. 185 Hikvision 2016 Annual Report Notes on Financial Statements For fiscal year period from January 1st 2016 to December 31st 2016 Unit: RMB Assets Liabilities Currencies Closing balance Opening balance Closing balance Opening balance USD 5,368,890,321.65 2,965,032,142.69 858,395,317.22 3,329,034,880.88 EUR 459,593,188.17 103,749,600.32 2,954,449,528.77 58,524,378.39 The Company has been paying close attention to the effect of fluctuation in exchange rate on the foreign exchange risks of the Group and has purchased forward foreign exchange contracts to mitigate the foreign exchange risk exposure.

Objectives and policies of risk management-continued 1.1 Market risks – continued 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 mainly related to floating interest rate bank borrowings. The Group's policy is to maintain the floating rate of these borrowings to eliminate the risk of changes in the fair value of interest rates. Sensitivity analysis on interest rate risk The sensitivity analysis on interest rate risk is carried out based on following assumptions: Changes in market interest rate have influence on the interest revenue or cost of financial instruments with variable rate; For the financial instruments with fixed rate and measured with fair value, changes in market interest rate only have influence on their interest revenue or cost; Based on the above assumptions, with other variables unchanged, the interest rate might float within a reasonable range, and has the following before tax effect on profit or loss and shareholders’ equity for the current period: Unit:RMB This year Prior year Change in interest rates Effect on profit Effect on shareholders’ Effect on profit Effect on profit equity Increase by 50 basis points of the borrowing rates (8,772,494.55) (8,772,494.55) (7,761,772.04) (7,761,772.04) Decrease by 50 basis points of the borrowing 8,772,494.55 8,772,494.55 7,761,772.04 7,761,772.04 rates 1.2 Credit risk As at 31 December 2016, the biggest credit risk exposure that may cause financial loss suffered by the Group was mainly 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 that are measured by fair value, the book value reflects its risk exposure rather than its biggest risk exposure, the biggest risk 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, credit approval and implementing other monitoring procedures to ensure necessary follow-up measures are carried out to recover the overdue debts. In addition, the Group reviews the recovery of each individual receivable at each balance sheet date to ensure that sufficient provision for bad debts is made for uncollectible funds. As such, the management of the Group believes that the Group’s exposure to credit risk has been significantly lowered. The Group only deposit cash and cash equivalents into banks with relatively high level of credit rating; as such the risk 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 the Group’s risk exposure exists in several parties to the contract and certain customers, the Group has no other significant concentration of credit risk. 187 Hikvision 2016 Annual Report Notes on Financial Statements For fiscal year period from January 1st 2016 to December 31st 2016 (VIII) Risks associated with financial instrument - continued 1. Objectives and policies of risk management-continued 1.3. Liquidity risk The Group maintains and monitors a level of cash and cash equivalents deemed adequate by the management to meet the operation needs of the Group and to reduce the effect of cash flow movements when managing liquidity risk. The management of the Company monitors the usage of bank borrowings, and ensures compliance with borrowing agreements.
