Introduction of Major Business, Operating Mode and Industry Background In the first half of 2018, the global economy continued its growth since 2017, but trade frictions, geopolitics and normalization of monetary policies in major economies have increased the uncertainty of the global economy and financial markets. In the first half of 2018, China's economy maintained steady growth, structural adjustments were further advanced and the economy performed at a good level. (I) Domestic market of the Industry: In the first half of 2018, the retail sales of each sub-industry of white goods in the domestic market maintained a growth trend, but the performance was differentiated. According to the calculation of China Market Monitor Co., Ltd (CMM), ① the home-use air-conditioner industry grew rapidly with the retail volume increased by 16.6% and the retail value increased by 19.8%; ② in the refrigerator and washing machine market, replacement demand became the primary demand with weak sales growth, but the average prices were boosted by structural upgrading: retail volume in the refrigerator industry decreased by 1.7%, but the retail value increased by 7.9%; retail volume and retail value in the washing machine industry increased by 4.7% and 10.5% respectively. With the continuous tightening of real estate control policies, the kitchen and bathroom industry is facing certain growth pressure. ①In the first half of 2018, the water heater industry recorded a negative growth of 0.4% in its retail volume and a growth of 4.8% in its retail value; ②the kitchen appliance market recorded a negative growth in its retail value, representing a decrease of 1% as compared with the corresponding period of last year, of which range hoods and stoves (two major sub-industries) recorded a decrease of 3.8% and 1.6% respectively in their retail value. The trend of consumption upgrade continued, and brand, quality, design and technology became the major factors influencing the decision-making of consumers. Consumers are willing to pay a premium for "good products", and health, smart, artistic products with large capacity are increasingly favored. It has become the consensus of industry companies to promote the structural upgrading and increase the added value. According to the statistics of CMM, the share of retail sales of offline multi-door refrigerators in the first half of 2018 increased by 4.5 percentage points year-on-year to 28.3%. Online channels maintained rapid growth with retail sales of refrigerators, washing machines, air conditioners, water heaters and kitchen appliances increasing by 29.2%, 36.3%, 54.8%, 36%, and 18.6%, respectively.

The rapid development of technologies such as the Internet of Things, big data, cloud computing and artificial intelligence has enhanced the connection between people and equipment, equipment and equipment, and equipment and ecological resources, and gradually changed our consumption habits of customers. The consumption trend reflected the characteristics of experience economy, community economy and sharing economy. Rapid product iteration and changes in industrial ecology has turned the focus of competition from pure product competition to user value and experience competition, forced enterprise transformation and business model reconstruction, and accelerated the transformation from selling products to selling services.

Risk of soft demand due to a slowdown in macro-economic growth. As white home appliance products fall into the category of durable consumer electronic products, the income level and expectation on future income growth will have an effect on the purchase of white goods. In the event of a slowdown in the macro economic growth, which will decrease the purchasing power of consumers, growth of the industry will be adversely affected. In addition, uncertainties from the real estate market will have some negative effect on market demand, which will in turn have some indirect effect on demand for home appliance products. 2. Price war risk caused by intensifying industry competition. In a long run, the market concentration of white home appliance industry continues to rise, but in short-term, due to the imbalance between supply and demand caused by high capacity generated from industry expansion and decreasing of industry demand in recent years, the industry inventory amount rises. Under the background of product homogeneity, price war will become a short term approach to increase its market share. 36 / 204 Qingdao Haier Co., Ltd 2018 Interim Report 3. Risk of rise in cost. Bulk raw materials such as copper, aluminum, steel plate, and oil-related plastic particles and foam materials account for a large proportion in the cost of white goods production. The Company will endure more cost pressure if price of raw material continues to rise. 4. Operating risk in oversea market. The Company has set up a dozen of production base, research and development center and marketing center in a number of countries around the world, leading to the continuous rise of oversea business. As the oversea market is more subject to the impact of local political and economic situation, legal system and supervisory system, significant changes of such factors would pose risks to the Company’s operation locally. 5. Risk of fluctuation in foreign currency exchange rate. Significant fluctuations in exchange rates may not only have an adverse impact on the Company's exports, but may also result in an exchange loss and an increase financial costs.

Accounting methods of enterprise combinations involving entities under common control and entities not under common control √Applicable □Not Applicable An enterprise combination is a transaction or event that brings together two or more separate entities into one reporting entity. Enterprise combinations are classified into enterprise combinations under common control and enterprise combinations not under common control. (1) Enterprise combinations under common control An enterprise combination under common control is an enterprise combination in which all of the combining entities are ultimately controlled by the same party or parties both before and after the combination, and that control is not transitory. For enterprise combination under common control, the party that obtains the control over the other parties on the combination date is the acquirer, and other parties involving in the enterprise combination are the acquiree. The combination date is the date on which the acquiring party effectively obtains the control over the party being acquired. In case the consideration for long-term equity investments formed in enterprise combination under common control is paid by ways of cash, transfer of non-cash assets or assumption of debts, the Company will regard the share of carrying amounts of the net assets of the acquiree in the ultimate controller’s consolidated financial statements obtained as the initial investment cost of long-term equity investments as at the date of combination. For carrying value of net assets of the acquiree is negative as at the date of combination, investment cost of long-term equity investment is calculated as zero. In case the acquiree is controlled by the ultimate controller by the enterprise combination under non-common control before combination, the initial investment cost of the long-term equity investment of the acquirer includes relevant goodwill. The Company should adjust the capital reserve (capital premium or share premium) in accordance with the differences between initial investment cost of the long-term equity investment and the cash paid, the non-cash assets transferred and the carrying value of liability assumed; in case the balance of the capital reserve (capital premium or share premium) is insufficient for the elimination, the surplus reserves and undistributed profits shall be used to dilute such expenses in order. In case the consideration for the combination is paid by issuance of equity instruments, the aggregate nominal value of shares issued will be deemed as the share capital. The difference between the initial investment cost of long-term equity investments and aggregate nominal value of shares issued shall be 86 / 204 Qingdao Haier Co., Ltd 2018 Interim Report adjusted to capital reserve (capital premium or share premium), in case the capital reserve (capital premium or share premium) is insufficient for the elimination, the surplus reserves and undistributed profits shall be used to dilute such expenses in order. Intermediary fees (such as audit, legal services and valuation consultancy) and other relevant management fees incurred in the enterprises combination by the acquirer are credited in profit or loss in the period when they occurred. Trading expenses in direct relation to the issuance of equity instrument as the consideration for the combination is written down to the capital reserve (share premium), where the capital reserve (share premium) is insufficient, and to surplus reserves and undistributed profits in order. Trading expenses in direct relation to the issuance of debt instrument as the consideration for the combination is included in the initial recognition amount of the debt instrument. For enterprise combination under common control realized through several transactions step by step, in case of a package transaction, all the transactions are accounted as one transaction that has acquired the control; in case of not a package transaction, in the financial statement of parent company the capital reserve ( share premium) is adjusted by the difference between the initial investment cost and the sum of the carrying value of the original long-term equity investment and the book value of the new payment consideration for further acquisition of shares with the share of acquirer's owner's equity on the date of combination in case calculated on the proportion of shareholding on the date of combination as its initial investment cost; where the capital reserve is insufficient, the retained earnings will be used to offset such expenses. In the consolidated financial statements, the long-term equity investment held by the combining party before the date of acquiring control of the combined parties, and the profit and loss, the other comprehensive income and changes in the other owners’ equity recognized during the period between the later of the date of acquisition and the date when the combining and the combined parties are under the common control of the same party and the date of combination, are written down to the retained earnings or current profit or loss at the beginning of the comparative reporting period, respectively. (2) Enterprise combinations involving entities not under common control An enterprise combination not under common control is an enterprise combination in which all of the combining entities are not ultimately controlled by the same party or parties both before and after the 87 / 204 Qingdao Haier Co., Ltd 2018 Interim Report combination. For enterprise combination not under common control, the party that obtains the control of the other parties at the combination date is the acquirer; other parties involving in the enterprise combination are the acquirees. The combination date is the date on which the acquirer effectively obtains control of the acquirees. In enterprise combination involving entities not under common control, the cost of combination shall be the sum of the assets paid, obligations incurred or assumed and the fair value of the equity securities issued by the acquirer for obtaining control of the acquiree at the date of acquisition. Intermediary fees (such as audit, legal services and valuation consultancy) and other relevant management fees incurred by the acquirer for the purpose of enterprise combination are credited in profit or loss in the period when they occurred. Transaction fees for the equity instruments or debt instruments issued by the acquirer as combination consideration is included in the initial recognition amount of such equity instruments or debt instruments. Contingent consideration involved shall be recorded as the combination cost based on its fair value on the acquisition date. Should any new or further evidence arises within 12 months after the acquisition date and makes it necessary to adjust the contingent consideration on the acquisition date, the goodwill arising from the enterprise combination shall be amended accordingly. The cost of combination and identifiable net assets obtained by the acquirer in an enterprise combination are measured at fair value on the acquisition date. Where the cost of the combination exceeds the acquirer’s interest in the fair value of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets, the difference is recognized as goodwill; where the cost of combination is lower than the acquirer’s interest in the fair value of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets, the difference is initially recognized in profit or loss for the current year after a review of computation for the identifiable assets, liabilities or fair value of contingent liabilities and combination cost, and where the combination cost is still lower than the fair value of the identifiable net assets of the acquiree obtained during the course of combination, then the difference is recorded in the current profit and loss. In enterprise combination involving entities not under common control that is realized in phases through multiple exchange transactions, in the individual financial statements of parent company, the sum of the book value of the equity investment of the acquiree held before the date of acquisition and 88 / 204 Qingdao Haier Co., Ltd 2018 Interim Report the cost of new investment on the date of acquisition are recognized as the initial investment cost of such investment. In the consolidated financial statement, the equity of the acquiree held before the date of acquisition is re-measured at the fair value on the date of acquisition, and the difference between the fair value and book value is included in current investment income; where the equity of the acquiree held before the date of acquisition involves the other comprehensive income, such equity and relevant other comprehensive income are transferred to current investment income on the date of acquisition, other than the other comprehensive income that cannot be reclassified into the current profit or loss. The fair value on the acquisition date of equity interest in the acquiree prior to the acquisition date and the fair value of the considerations paid for the acquisition of the new equity on the acquisition date are regarded as the combination costs of the Company, comparing with aquirer's share of the fair value on the acquisition date of the acquiree's net identifiable assets on the proportion of the shareholding on the acquisition date to confirm the goodwill that required to be recognized on the acquisition date or the amount that shall be included in the current consolidated profit or loss. 6. Preparation method of consolidated financial statements √Applicable □Not Applicable (1) Scope of consolidated financial statements The Company incorporated all of its subsidiaries (including the separate entities controlled by the Company) into the scope of consolidation financial statements, including the enterprises under the Company’s control, divisible part in the investees and structured entities. (2) To unify the accounting policies, balance sheets date and accounting periods of the Company and subsidiaries When preparing consolidated financial statements, adjustments are made if subsidiaries’ accounting policies or accounting periods are different from that of the Company, in accordance with the Company’s accounting policies and accounting periods. (3) Offset matters in the consolidated financial statements The consolidated financial statements shall be prepared on the basis of the balance sheets of the Company and subsidiaries, which offset the internal transactions incurred between the Company and 89 / 204 Qingdao Haier Co., Ltd 2018 Interim Report subsidiaries and among subsidiaries. The owner’s equity of the subsidiaries not attributable to the parent company, as minority equity interests, shall be presented as “minority equity interest” under the owners’ equity item in the consolidated balance sheet. The long-term equity investment of the Company held by the subsidiaries, deemed as treasury stock of the corporate group as well as the reduction of owners’ equity, shall be presented as “Less: Treasury stock” under the owners’ equity item in the consolidated balance sheet. (4) Accounting treatment of subsidiaries acquired from combination For subsidiaries acquired from enterprise combination under common control, the assets, liabilities, operating results and cash flows of the subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements from the beginning of the period in which the combination took place, as if the combination has taken since the ultimate controller began its control. When preparing the consolidated financial statements, for the subsidiaries acquired from enterprise combination under non-common control, separate financial statement will be adjusted on the basis of their fair values of the identifiable net assets on the date of acquisition. 7. Classification of joint arrangement and accounting methods of joint operations √Applicable □Not Applicable A joint arrangement refers to an arrangement jointly controlled by two or more parties. In accordance with the Company’s rights and obligations under a joint arrangement, the Company classifies joint arrangements into: joint operations and joint ventures. Joint operations refer to a joint arrangement in which the Company is a party and is entitled to relevant assets and obligations of this arrangement. The Company recognizes the following items in relation to its interest in a joint operation, and accounts the same in accordance with relevant accounting standards for business enterprises: (1) recognize the assets held solely by the Company, and recognize assets held jointly by the Company in appropriation to the share of the Company; (2) recognize the obligations assumed solely by the Company, and recognize obligations assumed jointly by the Company in appropriation to the share of the Company; (3) recognize revenue from disposal of joint operations in appropriation to the share of the Company; (4) recognize revenue from disposal of joint operations in appropriation to the share of the 90 / 204 Qingdao Haier Co., Ltd 2018 Interim Report Company; (5) recognize fees solely occurred by the Company and recognize fees from joint operations in appropriation to the share of the Company. When the Company, as a joint venture, invests or sells assets to or purchase assets (the assets do not constitute a business, the same below) from joint operations, the Company shall only recognize the part of profit or lost from this transaction attributable to other parties of joint operations before these assets are sold to a third party. In case of an impairment loss incurred on these assets which meets the requirements as set out in “Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises No. 8 – Asset Impairment”, the Company shall full recognize the amount of this loss in relation to its investment in or sale of assets to joint operations, or recognize the loss according to the Company’s share of commitment in relation to the its purchase of assets from joint operations. Joint ventures refer to a joint arrangement during which the Company only is entitled to net assets of this arrangement. Investment in joint venture is accounted for using the equity method according to the accounting policies referred to under “13 Long-term equity investment” of this Note V. 8. Recognition standard for cash and cash equivalents Cash recognized in the cash flow statements represents the cash on hand and deposits available for payment of the Company at any time. Cash equivalents recognized in the cash flow statements refer to short-term, highly liquid investments held by the Company that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk on change in value. 9. Foreign currency businesses and translation of foreign currency statements √Applicable □Not Applicable (1) Translation of Foreign currency transactions If foreign currency transactions occur, they are translated into the amount of functional currency by applying the spot exchange rate at the transaction date. Monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are translated into functional currencies at the rates of exchange ruling at the balance sheet date. All foreign exchange difference are credited into the current profit or loss, except ① those arising from the funds denominated in foreign currency specially 91 / 204 Qingdao Haier Co., Ltd 2018 Interim Report borrowed for the establishment of the qualifying assets are treated based on the principal of capitalization of borrowing costs; ② those arising from the other changes in the balance other than amortized cost of available-for-sale monetary items denominated in foreign currency are recognized in the other comprehensive income. Non-monetary items in foreign currency measured at historical cost are translated using the spot exchange rate prevailing on the date when transaction occurred and its functional currency shall remain unchanged. Non-monetary items denominated in foreign currencies that are measured at fair value are translated using the foreign exchange rate at the date the fair value is determined; the exchange differences between the translated and original amounts of functional currencies are recognized in the statement of profit or loss or other comprehensive income as changes in fair value (including changes in exchange rate). (2) Translation of foreign currency financial statements If the functional currencies used as the bookkeeping base currency by the subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates under the control of the Company are different from that of the Company, their financial statements denominated in foreign currencies shall be translated to perform accounting and prepare the consolidated financial statements. The assets and liabilities of the balance sheet are translated using the spot exchange rate at the balance sheet date; all items except for “undistributed profits” of the owner’s equity are translated at the spot exchange rate on the transaction date. The revenue and expenses in the income statement are translated using the approximate rate of the spot exchange rate on the transaction date. Differences arising from the translation of foreign currency financial statements are presented as the “other comprehensive income” in the owner’s equity of the balance sheet. Foreign currency cash flows are translated using the approximate rate of the spot exchange rate on the transaction date. The impact of exchange rate changes on cash amount is reflected separately in the cash flow. When disposing overseas operations, the translation difference related to the overseas operation shall be transferred together or as the percentage of disposing the overseas operation to profit or loss for the period of disposal. 92 / 204 Qingdao Haier Co., Ltd 2018 Interim Report 10. Financial instruments √Applicable □Not Applicable (1) Classification, recognition and measurement of financial instruments A financial asset or a financial liability is recognized when the Company becomes a contractual party of a financial instrument. Financial assets and financial liabilities are measured at fair value upon initial recognition. Related transaction costs are recorded directly in current profit or loss for financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value with its change consolidated in profit/loss, or included in the amount recognized initially for other types of financial assets and financial liabilities. Determination of the fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities: Fair value refers to the price receivable from the exchange of an asset or payable for the settlement of a liability in a fair transaction between knowledgeable and willing counterparties. The fair value of financial instruments where there is an active market is determined based on the quoted price in such market, which refers to the price regularly available from exchanges, brokers, trade associations and pricing service agencies that represents the price adopted in an arm’s length transaction which actually occurred in the market. For financial instruments where there is no active market, the fair value is determined using valuation techniques. Such techniques include reference to prices used in recent market transactions between knowledgeable and willing counterparties, reference to the current fair value of another instrument which is substantially the same, discounted cash flow analysis and option pricing models or other valuation models. Financial assets are classified into financial assets at fair value with its change consolidated in profit/loss, held-to-maturity investments, loans and receivables, and available-for-sale financial assets upon initial recognition. Classification of financial asset other than receivables is based on the purpose and capability of financial asset held by the Company and its subsidiaries. The financial liabilities are, on initial recognition, classified into financial liabilities at fair value with its change consolidated in profit/loss and other financial liabilities. Financial assets at fair value with its change consolidated in profit/loss include financial assets held for trading and financial assets designated as at fair value with its change consolidated in profit/loss. All financial assets at fair value with its change consolidated in profit/loss of the Company are financial assets held for trading. Financial assets may be classified as financial assets held for trading if one of the following conditions is met: ① the financial asset is acquired principally for the purpose of sale or 93 / 204 Qingdao Haier Co., Ltd 2018 Interim Report repurchase in the near term; ② the financial asset is part of a portfolio of identified financial instruments that are managed together and for which there is an objective evidence of recent pattern of short-term profit-taking; or ③ the financial asset is a derivative, excluding the derivatives designated as effective hedging instruments, the derivatives classified as financial guarantee contract, and the derivatives linked to an equity instrument investment, which has no quoted price in an active market nor a reliably measured fair value, and required to be settled through delivery of that equity instrument. A financial asset may be designated as at fair value with its change consolidated in profit/loss upon initial recognition only when one of the following conditions is satisfied: ① such designation eliminates or significantly reduces a measurement or recognition inconsistency that would otherwise result from measuring assets or recognizing the gains or losses on them on different bases; ② the financial asset forms part of a group of financial assets or a group of financial assets and financial liabilities, which is managed and its performance is evaluated on a fair value basis, in accordance with the Company’s documented risk management or investment strategy, and information about the grouping is reported to key management personnel on that basis; or ③ pursuant to Accounting Standards for Enterprises No. 22 – Recognition and Measurement of Financial Instruments, the financial asset is designated as combination instrument of financial assets measured at fair value through current profit or loss and related to embedded derivatives. A financial asset at fair value with its change consolidated in profit/loss, except for those falling under cash flow hedging, is subsequently measured at fair value. Any gains or losses arising from changes in the fair value are recognized in profit or loss of changes in the fair value. Interests or cash dividends received during the period in which such assets are held, are recognized as investment income; on disposal, the differences between the consideration received and initial recognized amount are recognized as investment income and the gain or loss from changes in fair value shall be adjusted accordingly. Held-to-maturity investments are non-derivative financial assets that have fixed or determinable payments and fixed maturity and for which the Company has the positive intention and ability to hold to maturity. Held-to-maturity investments are measured subsequently at amortized cost by using the effective interest rate method. Gains or losses arising from de-recognition, impairment or amortization are recognized in the profit or loss in 2016. The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortized cost of a financial asset and of allocating interest income or expense over each period based on the effective interest of a financial 94 / 204 Qingdao Haier Co., Ltd 2018 Interim Report asset or a financial liability (including a group of financial assets or financial liabilities). The effective interest rate is the rate that discounts future cash flows from the financial asset or financial liability over its expected life or (where appropriate) a shorter period to the carrying amount of the financial asset or financial liability. In calculating the effective interest rate, the Company will estimate the future cash flows (excluding future credit losses) by taking into account all contract terms relating to the financial assets or financial liabilities whilst considering various fees, transaction costs and discounts or premiums which are part of the effective interest rate paid or received between the parties to the financial assets or financial liabilities contracts. Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. Financial assets, including Notes receivable, accounts receivable, other receivables and long-term receivables are classified as loans and receivables by the Company. Loans and receivables are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. Gain or loss on derecognition, impairment or amortization is recognized with its change consolidated in profit/loss for the period. Available-for-sale financial assets include non-derivative financial assets designated as available-for-sale at initial recognition, and the financial assets other than financial assets at fair value with its change consolidated in profit/loss, loans and receivables, and held-to-maturity investments. Available-for-sale financial assets are subsequently measured at fair value, the gains or losses arising from changes in fair value, except for impairment losses and exchange difference related to monetary financial assets and amortized cost which are recognized in profit or loss, are recognized in other comprehensive income and reclassified to profit or loss when the financial assets are derecognized. Interests calculated in the effective interest method during the holdings of available-for-sale financial assets and cash dividends declared by investees are recognized in investment incomes. On disposal, the differences between the consideration received and the carrying amount of assets after deducting the accumulated fair value adjustments previously recorded in capital reserves are recorded as investment income. However, an equity instrument investment which has no quoted price in an active market nor a reliably measured fair value, and a derivative financial asset (or derivative financial liability) linked to such equity instrument and required to be settled through delivery of that equity instrument are measured at cost. Derivative financial instruments include forward foreign exchange contracts and interest rate swap 95 / 204 Qingdao Haier Co., Ltd 2018 Interim Report contracts, etc. Derivative financial instruments are initially recognized at fair value at the execution date of relevant contracts, and subsequently measured at fair value. Expect for the derivative financial instruments designated as hedging instruments with a highly effective hedging, of which the profit or loss arising from the changes in fair value will be included in the corresponding profit or loss depending on the nature of hedging relations and the accounting requirements of hedging tools, the changes in the fair value of all other derivative financial instruments will be included in the current profit or loss. For hybrid instruments containing embedded derivatives, an embedded derivative is separated from the hybrid instrument, where the hybrid instrument is not designated as a financial asset or financial liability at fair value with its change consolidated in profit/loss, and treated as a stand-alone derivative if the economic characteristics and risks of the embedded derivative are not closely related to those of the host contract, and a separate instrument with the same terms as the embedded derivative would be in compliance with the definition of a derivative. If the Group is unable to measure the embedded derivative separately either at acquisition or at a subsequent balance sheet date, it will designate the entire hybrid instrument as a financial asset or financial liability at fair value with its change consolidated in profit/loss. Equity instruments refer to the contracts proving the ownership of the remaining equities in the assets of the Company upon the deduction of all the liabilities. The consideration received from the issue of the equity instruments increases the shareholders’ equity upon the deduction of the transaction costs. The allocations made by the Company to the holders of equity instruments (excluding stock dividends) decrease shareholders’ equity. The Company does not recognize the change in the fair value of equity instruments. (2) Recognition and measurement of transfers of financial asset Financial asset that satisfied any of the following criteria shall be derecognized: ① the contract right to recover the cash flows of the financial asset has terminated; ② the financial asset, along with substantially all the risk and return arising from the ownership of the financial asset, has been transferred to the transferee; or③ the financial asset has been transferred, and the Company has given up the control on such financial asset, though it does not assign or maintain substantially all the risk and return arising from the ownership of the financial asset. When the Company does not either assign or maintain substantially all the risk and rewards of ownership of the financial asset and does not give up the control on such financial asset, to the extent of 96 / 204 Qingdao Haier Co., Ltd 2018 Interim Report its continuous involvement in the financial asset, the Company recognizes it as a related financial asset and recognizes the relevant liability accordingly. The extent of the continuous involvement is the extent to which the Company exposes to changes in the value of such financial assets. On derecognition of a financial asset, the difference between the following amounts is recognized in profit or loss in the period: the carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received and any accumulated changes in fair value that had been recognized originally and directly in capital reserve. If a part of the financial assets qualifies for derecognition, the carrying amount of the financial asset is allocated between the part that continues to be recognized and the part that qualifies for derecognition, based on the fair values of the respective parts. The difference between the following amounts is recognized in profit or loss in the period when the carrying amount of the part that qualifies for derecognition and the sum of the consideration received and any accumulated changes in fair value that had been recognized originally and directly in capital reserve. Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount is reported in the balance sheet if there is currently an enforceable legal right to offset the recognized financial assets and financial liabilities and there is an intention to settle on a net basis, or to realize the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously. Otherwise, financial assets and financial liabilities are presented separately in the balance sheet without being offset. (3) Classification, recognition and measurement of financial liabilities The Company classifies financial liabilities and equity instruments according to the substance of the contractual arrangements of the financial instrument and the definitions of a financial liability and an equity instrument. Financial liabilities are classified as financial liabilities at fair value with its change consolidated in profit or loss and other financial liabilities at initial recognition. Financial liabilities at fair value with its change consolidated in profit or loss include financial liabilities held for trading and financial liabilities designated as at fair value with its change included in profit or loss. Financial liabilities may be classified as financial liabilities held for trading if one of the following conditions is met: ① The financial liability is acquired principally for the purpose of sale or repurchase in the near term; ② The financial liability is part of a portfolio of identified financial instruments that are managed together and for which there is an objective evidence of recent pattern of short-term profit-taking; or ③ The financial liability is a derivative, excluding the derivatives designated as 97 / 204 Qingdao Haier Co., Ltd 2018 Interim Report effective hedging instruments, the derivatives classified as financial guarantee contract, and the derivatives linked to an equity instrument investment, which has no quoted price in an active market nor a reliably measured fair value, and required to be settled through delivery of that equity instrument. A financial liability may be designated as at fair value with its change consolidated in profit/loss upon initial recognition only when one of the following conditions is satisfied: ① such designation eliminates or significantly reduces a measurement or recognition inconsistency that would otherwise result from measuring liabilities or recognizing the gains or losses on them on different bases; ② the financial liability forms part of a group of financial liabilities or a group of financial liabilities and financial liabilities, which is managed and its performance is evaluated on a fair value basis, in accordance with the Company’s documented risk management or investment strategy, and information about the grouping is reported to key management personnel on that basis; or ③ pursuant to Accounting Standards for Enterprises No. 22 – Recognition and Measurement of Financial Instruments, the financial liability is designated as combination instrument of financial liabilities measured at fair value through current profit or loss and related to embedded derivatives. Financial liabilities at fair value with its change consolidated in profit or loss are subsequently measured at fair value. The gain or loss arising from changes in fair value and dividend and interest incomes arising from such financial liabilities are recognized in profit or loss in the period. Other financial liabilities: The derivative financial liabilities linked to and to be settled through delivery of the equity instruments that are not quoted in an active market and the fair value of which cannot be reliably measured, such equity instruments are subsequently measured at cost. Other financial liabilities apart from the financial guarantee contracts are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method and the gains or losses arising from de-recognition or amortization are recognized in profit or loss in the period. Financial guarantee contracts: Contracts in which the guarantor and the creditor agrees that the guarantor will settle debts or assume liabilities in accordance with terms therein if the debtor fails to make payment. Financial guarantee contracts other than those designated as financial liabilities at fair value with its change consolidated in profit/loss or loan commitments that are not designated at fair value with its change consolidated in profit/loss and granted at a rate below market rates are initially recognized at fair value less directly attributable transaction fees, and shall be subsequently measured at the higher of the following: the amount determined in accordance with Accounting Standard for 98 / 204 Qingdao Haier Co., Ltd 2018 Interim Report Business Enterprises No. 13 “Contingencies” and the amount initially recognized less cumulative amortization recognized in accordance with the principles set out in Accounting Standard for Business Enterprises No. 14 “Revenue”. Derecognition of financial liabilities: A financial liability shall be derecognized or partly derecognized when the current obligation is discharged or partly discharged. When the Company (debtor) and the creditor have signed a contract which uses a new financial liability to replace the existing financial liability, and the contract terms of the new financial liability are substantially different with the existing financial liability, the existing financial liability shall be derecognized, and the new financial liability shall be recognized at the same time. If a financial liability is fully or partially derecognized, the difference between the book value of derecognized portion and the consideration paid (including non-cash assets transferred out or new financial liability assumed) is recognized in current profit or loss. (4) Impairment of financial assets The carrying values of all financial assets except financial assets at fair value with its change included in profit or loss should be tested for impairment. If impairment is demonstrated by objective evidences, the provision of impairment should be prepared according to the impairment test. Objective evidences for recognition of impairment of financial asset include the following observable matters: ① The issuer or debtor is experiencing significant financial difficulties; ② The debtor breaches the contractual terms, including default or delinquency in interest or principal payments; ③ The Company, based on economic or legal or other factors, waive the debts; ④ It is highly probable that the debtor will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganization; ⑤ The issuer is experiencing significant financial difficulties that the corresponding financial instruments could not be traded in an active market; ⑥ When it is unable to determine whether cash flows of a specific instrument in a group of financial assets decrease, but the cash flows since initial recognition of that group of financial assets would decrease and be measurable, or the ability to repay by the debtors in that group of financial asset deteriorate, or the unemployment rate of the country or region in which the debtors situate increases, or the price of the underlying collateral decreases significantly in its region, or the industry of the debtors is diminishing; 99 / 204 Qingdao Haier Co., Ltd 2018 Interim Report ⑦ There are significant adverse changes in the technology, market, economy or legal environments in issuance place of the equity instrument so that the investor could not recover its investment costs; ⑧ There is significant or other than temporary decrease in fair value of equity instrument; ⑨ Other objective evidences show that the financial asset is impaired. The Company shall carry out independent impairment test for financial assets of significant single amounts. With regard to the financial assets with insignificant single amounts, an independent impairment test shall be included in a combination of financial assets with similar credit risk characteristics so as to carry out an impairment test. In the event, upon independent test, the financial asset (including those financial assets with significant single amounts and those with insignificant amounts) has not been impaired, it shall be included in a combination of financial assets with similar characteristics so as to conduct another impairment test. Financial assets that have conducted independent test as impairment loss shall not be included in a combination of financial assets with similar risk characteristics so as to conduct another impairment test. When held-to-maturity investments, loans and accounts receivables have been impaired, the book value of the financial assets shall be written down to the current value of estimated future cash flow discounted at the original effective interest rate, and the write-down amount is recorded as impairment loss and written into profit or loss of the period. When a financial asset based on amortized cost is impaired, if there are objective evidences showing the value of this financial asset is recovered and it is objectively related to the matters happened after the impairment loss recognition, the impairment loss recognized shall be reversed. However, the reversal shall not result in a carrying amount of the financial asset that exceeds the amortized cost if the impairment had not been recognized at the date when the impairment is reversed. If an available-for-sale financial asset is impaired, the cumulative loss arising from decline in fair value that had been recognized directly in other comprehensive income is reclassified to current profit or loss. The cumulative loss reclassified is the difference between its acquisition cost (net of any principal repayment and amortization) and its current fair value, less any impairment loss previously recognized in profit or loss. If there are objective evidences that the value of that financial asset is recovered and it can be objectively related to an event occurred after the impairment loss recognition, the impairment loss recognized shall be reversed, impairment losses recognized for equity instruments classified as 100 / 204 Qingdao Haier Co., Ltd 2018 Interim Report available-for-sale are reversed through other comprehensive income, while impairment losses recognized for debt instruments classified as available-for-sale are reversed through current profit or loss. If there’s an objective evidence that an investment in equity instrument which has no quoted price in an active market nor a reliably measured fair value or a derivative financial asset which is linked to that equity instrument and required to be settled through delivery of that equity instrument is impaired, the carrying amount shall be written down to the present value discounted at the market rate of return on future cash flows of the similar financial assets, and the write-down amount shall be recognized as impairment loss in profit or loss. Such impairment loss once recognized shall no longer be reversed. For investments in equity instruments, the specific quantitative criterion for the Company to determine “serious” or “not temporary” decrease in their fair value are set out below: Specific quantitative criterion on “serious” decrease Decrease in closing fair value relative to the in their fair value cost has reached or exceeded 50%. Specific quantitative criterion on “not temporary” Fall for 12 consecutive months. decrease in their fair value 11. Receivables Receivables of the Company include trade receivables and other receivables. Recognition and provision of bad debts of receivables: (1) Individually significant receivables for which separate bad-debt provision is made Individually significant receivables represent the receivables accounting for above 5% of the closing balance. The Company conducted a separate impairment test for receivables that are individually significant on the balance sheet date and made provision for its bad debts based on the difference between the present value of its estimated future cash flows and its carrying amount. (2) Individually insignificant receivables for which separate bad-debt provision is made Individual impairment test is made where there is a concrete evidence indicates that there is an obvious difference in recoverability, and bad debts provision is made based on the difference between the present value of its estimated future cash flows and its carrying amount. (3) Trade receivables for which collective bad debt provision is made 101 / 204 Qingdao Haier Co., Ltd 2018 Interim Report Receivables that are individually tested not impairment, is classified by similar credit risks into several portfolio and then recognize the impairment loss and make bad debts provision of the balance of the receivables on the balance sheet date. 12. Inventories √Applicable □Not Applicable (1)Classification of inventories: Inventories refer to the finished goods or commodities held for sale in daily activities, goods in progress in the production process, consumed materials and supplies in the production process or providing services of the Company, which mainly include raw materials, revolving materials, entrusted processed materials, wrap page, low-cost consumables, goods in progress, self-made semi-finished goods, finished goods (merchandise inventory) and engineering construction, etc. (2)Measurement of inventories transferred out At delivery, inventories are accounted using the weighted average method for the Company. (3)Provision for inventory impairment At balance sheet date, inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. The net realizable value of inventories (including finished products, merchandise and materials for sale) that can be sold directly is determined using the estimated saleable price of such inventory deducted by the cost of sales and relevant taxation. The net realizable value of materials in inventory that are held for production is determined using the estimated saleable price of the finished product deducted by the cost to completion, estimated cost of sales and relevant taxation. The net realizable value of inventory held for performance of sales contract or labor service contract is determined based on the contractual price; in case the amount of inventory held by the enterprise exceeds the contractual amount, the net realizable value of the excess portion of inventory is calculated using the normal saleable price. Provision for impairment of inventories is made for individual inventory. For items of inventories that is produced and marketed in the same geographical area and with the same or similar end uses or purposes, which cannot be practicable evaluated separately from other items, cost and net realizable value of inventories may be determined on an aggregate basis. For large quantity and low value items of inventories, cost and net realizable value of inventories may be determined on types of inventories. Provision for impairment of inventories is made and recognized as current profit or loss when the cost is higher than the net realizable value on the balance sheet date. If the factors that give rise to the provision in prior years are not in effect in current year, provision would be reversed within the impaired cost, and recognized in the current profit or loss. (4)Inventory system The Company adopts perpetual inventory system. (5)Amortization of low-value consumables and packaging 102 / 204 Qingdao Haier Co., Ltd 2018 Interim Report Low-value consumables and packages of the Company are amortized by one-time write-off. 13. Long-term equity investments √Applicable □Not Applicable Long-term equity investments in this section refer to equity investments held by the Company that give it control, joint control or significant influence over the investee. Long-term equity investments where the Company does not exercise control, joint control or significant influence over the investee are accounted for as available-for-sale financial assets. (1)Recognition of initial cost of investment ①For long-term equity investment obtained from business consolidation under common control, the initial cost is measured at the combining party’s share of the carrying amount of the equity of the combined party; for a long-term equity investment obtained from business consolidation under non-common control, the initial cost is the consolidation cost at the date of acquisition; ②For the long-term equity investment acquired in a manner other than enterprise combination: the initial investment cost of the long-term equity investment acquired by payment in cash shall be the total purchase price; the initial investment cost of the long-term equity investment acquired by issuing equity securities shall be the fair value of the equity securities issued;For long-term equity investment acquired by debt restructuring, the initial investment cost shall be recognized in accordance with the requirements under Accounting Standards for Enterprises No. 12 - Debt Restructuring. For long-term equity investment acquired by the exchange of non-monetary assets, the initial investment cost shall be recognized in accordance with relevant requirements under the Rules. (2)Subsequent measurement and profit or loss recognition ①Cost method Where the investor has a control over the investee, long-term equity investments are measured using cost method. For long-term equity investments using cost method, unless increasing or reducing the investment, the carrying value is unchanged. The Company’s share of the profit distributions or cash dividends declared by the investee are recognized as investment income. ②Equity method Investor's long-term equity investments in associates and joint ventures are measured using equity method. Where part of the equity investments of an investor in its associates are held indirectly through venture investment institutions, common fund, trust companies or other similar entities including investment linked insurance funds, such part of equity investments indirectly held by the investor shall be measured at fair value with its change consolidated in profit/loss according to relevant requirements of Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises No.22—Recognization and measurement of Financial Instruments regardless whether the above entities have significant influence on such part of equity investments, while the remaining part shall be measured using equity method. Under the equity method, where the initial investment cost of a long-term equity investment exceeds the Company’s share of the fair value of the investee’s identifiable net assets at the time of 103 / 204 Qingdao Haier Co., Ltd 2018 Interim Report acquisition, no adjustment is made to the initial investment cost. Where the initial investment cost is less than the Company’s share of the fair value of the investee’s identifiable net assets at the time of acquisition, the difference is recognized in profit or loss for the period, and the cost of the long-term equity investment is adjusted accordingly. For long-term equity investments accounted for using the equity method, the Company recognizes the investment income and other comprehensive incomes according to its share of net profit or loss and other comprehensive incomes of the investee, and the carrying amount of the long-term equity investments shall be adjusted accordingly; the carrying amount of the investment is reduced by the Company’s share of the profit distribution or cash dividends declared by an investee; for changes in owner’s equity of the investee other than those arising from its net profit or loss, other comprehensive income and profit distribution, the carrying amount of the long-term equity investment shall be adjusted and recognized to capital reserve. When recognizing attributable share of the net profit and losses of the investee, the net profit of the investee shall be recognized after adjustment on the ground of the fair value of all identifiable assets of the investee when it obtains the investment. If the accounting policies and accounting periods adopted by the investee are different from those adopted by the Company, an adjustment shall be made to the financial statements of the investee in accordance with the accounting policies and accounting periods of the Company and recognize the investment incomes and other comprehensive incomes. The Company’s share of net losses of the investee shall be recognized to the extent that the carrying amount of the long-term equity investment together with any long-term interests that in substance form part of the investor’s net investment in the investee are reduced to zero. If the Company has to assume additional obligations, the estimated obligation assumed shall be provided for and charged to the profit or loss as investment loss for the period. Where the investee is making net profits in subsequent periods, the Company shall resume recognizing its share of profits after setting off against the share of unrecognized losses. (3)Change of the accounting methods for long-term equity investments ①Change of measurement at fair value to accounting under equity method: where the equity investment held have no control, joint control or significant impact on the investee and that are accounted according to the financial instrument recognition and measurement criteria can carry out common control or place significant impact due to addition of investment which resulted in the increase of shareholding, the investee shall plus the fair value of the equity investment originally held determined in accordance with the Standards for Recognition and Measurement of Financial Instruments and the fair value of the consideration payable for new investment as the initial investment cost accounted under equity method when changing the equity method. ②Change of measurement at fair value or accounting under equity method to cost method: the equity investment of the investee held by the investor with no control, joint control or significant impact and accounted according to the financial instrument recognition and measurement criteria, or the long-term equity investment in associates or joint venture originally held that can control the investee 104 / 204 Qingdao Haier Co., Ltd 2018 Interim Report due to addition of investment, shall be accounted in accordance with the long-term equity investment formed by combination of enterprises. ③Change of accounting under equity method to measurement at fair value: the long-term equity investment originally held with common control or significant impact on the investee that cannot conduct common control or significant impact on the investee due to the decrease of shareholding as a result of factors such as partial disposal, shall be accounted in accordance with Standards for Recognition and Measurement of Financial Instruments, and the difference between the fair value on the date when the common control or significant impact is lost and the book value is included in current profit or loss. ④Change of cost method to equity method: where control on the investee change to significant impact or common control with other investors due to factors such as disposal of investment, the long-term equity investment cost that ceased to be recognized shall first be carried forward on the proportion of the investment disposed. Then comparing the cost of the remaining long-term equity investment with the attributable fair value of the identifiable net assets of the investee at the original investment calculated on proportion of the remaining shareholding, where the former larger than the later, it belongs to the goodwill as showed in deciding the investment price and will not adjust the carrying amount of the long-term equity investment; where the former less than the later, the retained earnings will be adjusted along with the adjustment of the long-term equity investment. (4)Basis of conclusion for common control and significant influence over the investee ①Joint control over an investee refers to activities which have a significant influence on return of an arrangement could be decided only by mutual consent of the investing parties sharing the control, which includes the sales and purchase of goods or services, management of financial assets, acquisition and disposal of assets, research and development activities and financing activities, etc. ②Significant influence on the investee refers to significant influence over the investee exists when holding more than 20% but less than 50% of the shares with voting rights or even if the holding is below 20%, there is still significant influence if any of the following conditions satisfied: 1)there is representative in the board of directors or similar governing body of the investee; 2)participating in investee’s policy setting process; 3)assign management to investee; 4)the investee relies on the technology or technical information of the investor; 5)major transactions with the investee. (5)Impairment test and provision of impairment At the balance sheet date, the Company reviews whether there is impairment indicator for the long-term equity investments. When there is impairment indicator, the recoverable amount is determined through impairment test and impairment is provided based on the difference between the recoverable amount and the carrying value. Impairment loss is not reversed once provided. The recoverable amount is the higher of net fair value of long-term equity investments on disposal 105 / 204 Qingdao Haier Co., Ltd 2018 Interim Report and the present value of estimated future cash flows. (6)Disposal of long-term equity investments For disposal of long-term equity investment, the difference between the considerations received and the carrying amount of the disposed investment is recognized in profit or loss. For long-term equity investment accounted for using the equity method, the part recognized in other comprehensive income is accounted on pro rata basis upon disposal in the same way as the relevant assets or liabilities are disposed of directly by the investee. 14. Investment properties Investment properties of the Company include leased land use rights and leased buildings. An investment property is initially measured at cost, and cost method is adopted for subsequent measurement. The buildings leased out of investment properties of the Company are depreciated over their useful lives using the straight-line method. The specific measurement policy is the same as fixed assets. For land use rights leased out or held for resale after appreciation in value, they are amortized over their useful lives using the straight-line method. The specific measurement policy is the same as that of intangible assets. At the balance sheet date, the Company reviews whether there is impairment indicator for investment properties. When there is impairment indicator, the recoverable amount is recognized through an impairment test and impairment is provided based on the difference between the carrying value and the recoverable amount. Impairment is not reversed in subsequent periods. 15. Fixed assets (1). Recognition criteria √Applicable □Not Applicable Fixed assets are tangible assets that are held for production of goods, provision of labor services, leasing or administrative purposes, and have useful life more than one fiscal year, which are recognized when the following conditions are met: ① economic benefits in relation to the fixed assets are very likely to flow into the enterprise; ② the cost of the fixed assets can be measured reliably. (2)Classification and Depreciation method of fixed assets The fixed assets of the Company can be divided into: buildings and constructions, production equipment, transportation equipment and office equipment, etc. The straight-line method over useful lives is used to measure depreciation. The useful lives and the expected net residual value of fixed assets are determined according to the nature and usage of various fixed assets. At the end of each year, the useful lives, expected net residual value and depreciation method of fixed assets are reviewed, and adjusted if there is variance with original policies; The Company have made provisions for all of the fixed assets except for the fixed assets with full provision and used continuously. 106 / 204 Qingdao Haier Co., Ltd 2018 Interim Report Type of fixed assets Useful lives Expected net residual Land ownership - value Houses and buildings 8-40 年 0%-5% Machinery equipment 4-20 年 0%-5% Vehicles 5-10 年 0%-5% Office equipment and others 3-10 年 0%-5% (3)Test method and provision for impairment of fixed assets At the balance sheet date, the Company reviews whether there is impairment indicator for the fixed assets. When there is an impairment indicator, the recoverable amount is estimated and impairment is provided based on the difference between the carrying value and the recoverable amount once the impairment of an asset is recognized, it will not be reversed in the subsequent accounting period. (4)Basis for Recognition, measurement of fixed assets held under finance lease Basis for recognition of fixed assets held under finance lease: leases that transfer all the risks and rewards related to the ownership of the relevant assets. The asset is recognized if one or more of the following criteria is met: ① upon expiry of the lease term, the ownership of the leased asset is transferred to the lessee; ② the lessee has the option to purchase the leased asset at a price expected to be sufficiently lower than the fair value of the leased asset when the option is exercised and at the inception of the lease, it is reasonably certain that the lessee will exercise the option; ③ the lease term approximates the useful life of the leased asset even if the ownership is not transferred; ④ at the inception of the lease, the present value of the minimum lease payments is substantially equivalent to the fair value of the leased asset; ⑤ the leased assets are of such a specialized nature that only the lessee can use them without major modification. Measurement of fixed assets held under finance lease: fixed assets held under finance lease are initially recognized at the lower of fair value of the leased assets at the inception of lease and the present value of minimum lease payments. Subsequent measurement of fixed assets held under finance lease is accounted for using the depreciation and impairment policies of owned fixed assets. 16. Construction in progress √Applicable □Not Applicable (1)Types of construction in progress Construction in progress for the Company is self-constructed. (2)Standard and date of transfer from construction in progress to fixed assets The construction in progress of the Company is transferred to fixed assets when the project is completed and ready for its intended use, which shall satisfy one of the following conditions: ①The construction of the fixed assets (including installation) has been completed or substantially completed; 107 / 204 Qingdao Haier Co., Ltd 2018 Interim Report ②The fixed asset has been used for trial operation and it is evidenced that the asset can operate ordinarily or produce steadily qualified products; or the result of trial operation proves that it can operate normally; ③Further expenditure incurred for construction is very minimal or remote; ④The constructed fixed asset reaches or almost reaches the design or the requirements of contract, or complies with the design or the requirements of contract. (3)Impairment test and provision of impairment of construction in progress At the balance sheet date, the Company reviews the construction in progress to check whether there is any sign of impairment and an impairment test is needed to recognize the recoverable amount when there are signs that construction in progress may impair. The impairment loss should be the lower of the carrying value and recoverable amount and impairment loss cannot be reversed in the following accounting period if it has been provided. The recoverable amount of construction in progress should base on the higher value between fair value of asset less disposal expense and present value of estimated cash flow in the future. 17. Borrowing costs √Applicable □Not Applicable (1)Recognition principles for borrowing cost capitalization The Company’s borrowing costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or production of a qualifying asset are capitalized into the cost of relevant assets. Other borrowing costs are recognized as expenses in profit and loss for the period when incurred. Qualifying assets include fixed assets, investment properties and inventories that necessarily take a substantial period of time for acquisition, construction or production to get ready for their intended use or sale. (2)Computation of capitalized amount of borrowing costs Capitalization period refers to the period from the commencement to the cessation of capitalization of borrowing costs, excluding the periods in which capitalization of borrowing costs is suspended. Capitalization interruption period: Capitalization of borrowing costs is suspended during periods in which the acquisition or construction of a qualifying asset is interrupted abnormally and the interruption lasts for more than 3 months. Computation of capitalized amount of borrowing costs: ① Specific borrowings will be recorded based on the actual interest expense incurred in the period of special borrowings less the interest income from unutilized borrowings placed at banks or investment gain from temporary investment; ② Normal borrowings utilized are calculated based on the weighted average of expenses of the aggregate asset exceeding the asset expenses of the portion of special borrowings multiplied by the capitalization ratio of the normal borrowings utilized. Capitalization ratio is calculated based on weighted average interest rate of normal borrowings; ③ For borrowings with discount or premium, the discount or premium was amortized over the accounting periods borrowings to adjust the interest in every period using the effective interest rates. 108 / 204 Qingdao Haier Co., Ltd 2018 Interim Report 18. Intangible assets Intangible assets are the identifiable non-monetary assets which have no physical shape and are possessed or controlled by the Company. (1)Measurement of intangible assets Intangible assets are initially recognized at costs. The actual costs of purchased intangible assets include the consideration and relevant expenses paid. For intangible asset contributed by investors, the value agreed in the investment contract or agreement is the actual cost of the intangible asset. But if the value agreed in the investment contract or agreement is not a fair value, the fair value of the intangible asset is regarded as the actual cost. The cost of a self-developed intangible asset is the total expenditure incurred in bringing the asset to its intended use. Subsequent measurement of intangible assets of the Company: ① Intangible assets with finite useful lives are amortized on a straight-line basis; at the end of each year, the useful lives and amortization policy are reviewed, and adjusted if there is any variance with original policies; ② Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are not amortized and the useful lives are reviewed at each year end date. If there is objective evidence that the useful life of an intangible asset is finite, the intangible asset is amortized using the straight line method according to the estimated useful life. (2)Criterion of determining indefinite useful life The useful life of an intangible asset is indefinite if the period in which the future economic benefits generated by the intangible asset could not be determined, or the useful life could not be ascertained. Criterion of determining intangible assets with indefinite useful lives: ① For intangible assets derived from contractual rights or other legal rights and there are no explicit years of use stipulated in the contract or laws and regulations; ② the period in which generating benefits for the Company still could not be estimated after considering the industrial practice or relevant expert opinion. At the end of each year, the useful lives of the intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are reviewed. The assessment is performed by the departments that use the intangible assets, using the down-to-top approach, to determine if there are changes to the determining basis of indefinite useful lives. (3) Methods for impairment test and provision for impairment of intangible assets As at the balance sheet date, the Company reviews the intangible assets to check whether there is an indication of impairment and an impairment test is needed to recognize the recoverable amount when there are signs that intangible assets may impair. The impairment provision should be the lower of the recoverable amount and carrying value and provision for impairment loss cannot be reversed in the following accounting periods once it has been provided. The recoverable amount of intangible assets should be based on the higher value between the net of fair value of asset less disposal expense and present value of estimated cash flow of assets in the future. 109 / 204 Qingdao Haier Co., Ltd 2018 Interim Report (4)Basis for research and development stage for internal research and development project and basis for capitalization of expenditure incurred in development stage As for an internal research and development project, expenditure incurred in the research stage is recognized in profit or loss in the period as incurred. Expenses incurred in the development stage are recognized as intangible assets if all of the following conditions are met: ① the technical feasibility of completing the intangible asset so that it will be available for use or for sale; ② the intention to complete the intangible asset for use or for sale; ③ how the intangible asset will generate economic benefits, including there is evidence that the products produced by the intangible asset has a market or the intangible asset itself has a market; if the intangible asset is for internal use, there is evidence that there exists usage for the intangible asset; ④ the availability of adequate technical, financial and other resources to complete the development and the ability to use or sell the intangible asset; ⑤ the expenditures attributable to the development of the intangible asset could be reliably measured. Basis for distinguishing research stage and development stage of an internal research and development project: research stage is the activities carried out for the planned investigation and search for obtaining new technology and knowledge, which has the characteristics of planning and exploration; before commercial production or other uses, the application of achievements and other knowledge obtained from the research stage in a plan or design to produce new or substantially improved materials, equipment and products is regarded as development stage, which has the characteristics of pinpointing and is very likely to form results. All the expenditures on research and development which cannot be distinguished between research stage and development stage are recognized in the current profit or loss when incurred. 19. Impairment of long-term assets √Applicable □Not Applicable Long-term equity investment, investment properties measured based on cost model, fixed assets, construction in progress, intangible assets and other long-term assets are tested for impairment if there is any indication that an asset may be impaired at the balance date. If the result of the impairment test indicates that the recoverable amount of the asset is less than its carrying amount, a provision for impairment will be made for the difference will be recorded in impairment loss. The recoverable amount is the higher of the net of the asset’s fair value less disposal costs and the present value of the future cash flows expected to be derived from the asset. Provision for asset impairment is determined and recognized on the individual asset basis. If it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the recoverable amount of a group of assets to which the asset belongs is determined. A group of assets is the smallest group of assets that is able to generate independent cash inflows. Goodwill is tested for impairment at least at each year end. In terms of impairment test of the goodwill, the carrying amount of the goodwill, arising from enterprise combination, shall be allocated to the related asset groups on reasonable basis since the acquisition date, or to the related asset group portfolios if it is difficult to be allocated to the related asset 110 / 204 Qingdao Haier Co., Ltd 2018 Interim Report groups. When the carrying amount of the goodwill is allocated to the related asset groups or asset group portfolios, it shall be allocated in the proportion of the fair value of each asset group or asset group portfolio against the total fair value of related asset groups or asset group portfolios. If it is difficult to measure the fair value reliably, it shall be allocated in the proportion of the carrying amount of each asset group or asset group portfolio against the total carrying amount of related asset groups or asset group portfolios. When impairment test is made to the related asset groups or asset group portfolios including goodwill, if there is an indication that the related asset groups or asset group portfolios are prone to impair, the Company shall firstly test for impairment for the asset groups or asset group portfolios excluding goodwill and calculate the recoverable amount and recognize the impairment loss accordingly by comparing with its carrying amount. The Company shall then test for impairment for the asset groups or asset group portfolios including goodwill and compare the carrying amount (including the carrying amount of allocated goodwill) with its recoverable amount of related asset groups or asset group portfolios. Provision for impairment loss shall be recognized when the recoverable amount of the related asset groups or asset group portfolios is lower than its carrying amount. Once the above impairment loss of assets is recognized, it shall not be reversed in any subsequent accounting period. 20. Long-term prepayments √Applicable □Not Applicable Long-term prepayments are expenditures which have incurred but the benefit period is more than one year (excluding one year). They are amortized evenly over the benefit period of each item of expenses. If the long-term prepayments are no longer beneficial to the subsequent accounting periods, the unamortized balance is then fully transferred to profit or loss for the period. 21. Remuneration of employees Remuneration of employees are all forms of compensation and other relevant expenditure given by the Company in exchange for services rendered by employees, including short-term remuneration, post-employment benefits, termination benefits and other long-term benefits. Short-term remuneration include short-term salaries, bonus, allowance, subsidies, staff’s welfare, housing provident fund, union funds and employee education funds, medical insurance fees, injury insurance fees, maternity insurance fees, short-term paid absence, short-term profit sharing plans, etc.. During the accounting period when employees render services, short-term benefits payable that actually incurred shall be recognized as liabilities and credited into the current profit and loss or relevant assets cost on an accrual basis for the benefit objects. Post-employment benefits mainly includes the basic pension insurance, supplementary pension, etc., In accordance with the risks and obligations undertaken by the Company, the post-employment benefits is classified as defined contribution plans and defined benefit pension plans. Defined contribution plans: the Company shall recognize the sinking fund paid to individual entity on balance sheet date as a 111 / 204 Qingdao Haier Co., Ltd 2018 Interim Report liability in exchange of services from the employee in accounting period, and credited into current profits or losses or related assets costs in accordance with the benefit objects. Defined benefit plans: the cost of providing benefits is determined using the projected unit credit method, with actuarial valuations being carried out by independent actuary at the interim and the annual balance sheet date. Staffs' benefit costs incurred by the defined benefit plan of the Group are categorized as follows: (1) service cost, include current period service cost, past-service cost and settlement gain or loss. Current period service cost means the increase of the present value of defined benefit obligation resulted from service offered by employee for the period. Past-service cost means the increase or decrease of the present value of defined benefit obligation resulted from the revision of the defined benefit plans related to the prior period service offered by employee; (2) interest costs of defined benefit plans; (3) changes related to the remeasurement of defined benefit plans liabilities. Unless other accounting standards require or permit to charge the employee benefits into assets cost, the Company charges (1) and (2) above into current profit or loss, and recognized (3) above as other comprehensive income without transferring to profit or loss in subsequent accounting periods. Termination benefits: the indemnity proposal provided by the Company for employees for the purpose of terminating labor relation with the employees before the expiry of the labor contract or encouraging employees to accept downsizing voluntarily, when the following conditions are met, recognize and at the same time credited into the current profit or loss the accrued liabilities arising from the indemnity as a result of terminating labor relation with the employees: the Company has made a formal plan for termination of employment relationship or has made an offer for voluntary redundancy which will be implemented immediately; and the Company could not unilaterally withdraw from the termination plan or the redundancy offer. Early retirement benefits will adopt same principles as the termination benefit. The Company will credit the salaries and social benefits intend to pay for these early retirees during the periods from the date of early retirement to the normal retirement date to profit or loss of the period when recognition conditions for accrued liabilities are met. 22. Estimated liabilities √Applicable □Not Applicable (1)Criterion for determining of estimated liability If an obligation in relation to contingencies such as external guarantees, discounting of commercial acceptance bills, pending litigation or arbitration and product quality assurance is the present obligation of the Company and the performance of such obligation is likely to lead to the outflow of economic benefits and its amount can be reliably measured, such obligation shall be recognized as estimated liability. (2)Measurement of estimated liability The best estimate of the expenditure from the performance of the current obligation is initially recorded as accrued liability. When the necessary expenditures falls within a range and the probability of each result in the range are identical, the best estimate is the median of the range; if there are several items involved, every possible result and relevant probability are taken into account for the best 112 / 204 Qingdao Haier Co., Ltd 2018 Interim Report estimation. At the balance sheet date, the carrying value of estimated liabilities is reviewed. If there is objective evidence that the carrying value could not reflect the current best estimate, the carrying value is adjusted to the best estimated value. 23. Share-based payments √Applicable □Not Applicable For equity-settled share-based payment transaction in return for services from employees, it shall be measured at the fair value of equity instruments granted to the employees. For the payment of such fair value that may only be exercised if services are fulfilled during the vesting period or the specified performance is achieved, the fair value shall, based on the best estimate of the number of exercisable instruments during the vesting period, be recognized in relevant costs or expenses in straight-line method with the increase in the capital reserve accordingly. The cash-settled share-based payment shall be measured at the fair value of liability assumed by the Company, which is calculated and determined based on the shares or other equity instruments. For the cash-settled share-based payment that may be exercised immediately after the grant, the fair value of the liability assumed by the Company shall, on the date of the grant, be recognized in relevant costs or expenses and the liabilities shall be increased accordingly. For cash-settled share-based payment that may be exercised if services are fulfilled during the vesting period or the specified performance is achieved, on each balance sheet date within the vesting period, the services acquired in the period shall, based on the best estimate of exercise, be recognized in relevant costs or expenses at the fair value of the liability assumed by the Company, and the liabilities shall be adjusted correspondingly. At each balance sheet date and the settlement date prior to the settlement of liabilities, the fair value of the liability is re-measured with its change included in profit or loss. When there is changes to the Company's share-based payment plans, if the modification increases the fair value of the equity instruments granted, corresponding recognition of service increase in accordance with the increase in the fair value of the equity instruments; if the modification increases the number of equity instruments granted, the increase in fair value of the equity instruments is recognized as a corresponding increase in service achieved. Increase in the fair value of equity instruments refer to the difference between the fair values of the equity instrument on the modified date before or after the modification. If the Company modifies the exercisable conditions in such manner conductive to the employees, including the shortening of the vesting period, change or cancellation of the performance conditions (rather than market conditions), the Company shall consider the modified exercisable conditions upon the disposal of exercisable conditions. If the modification reduces the total fair value of shares paid or the Company uses other methods not conductive to employees to modify the terms and conditions of share-based payment plans, it will continue to be accounted for the services obtained in the accounting treatment, as if the change had not occurred, unless the Company cancelled some or all of the equity instruments granted. During the vesting period, if the Company cancel equity instruments granted will be treated as 113 / 204 Qingdao Haier Co., Ltd 2018 Interim Report accelerating the exercise of rights and the remaining vesting period should be recognized immediately in the current profit or loss, while at the same time recognize the capital reserve. Employees or other parties can choose to meet non-vesting conditions, but for those that are not met in the vesting period, the Company will treat it as cancellation of equity instruments granted. 24. Revenue √Applicable □Not Applicable (1)Sale of goods Revenue from the sale of goods shall be recognized at the amount received or receivable from buyers based on contractual or agreed prices, when all of the following conditions are satisfied: ① the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods have been passed to the buyer; ② the Company retains neither continuing managerial involvement 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 benefits will flow to the enterprise; ⑤ the associated costs incurred or to be incurred can be measured reliably. Recognition process of the Company’s sales revenue: business personnel submit sales application in the business system according to the consumers’ orders; financial personnel review the remaining credit of the consumers or whether the payment for goods is made in advance according to the sales application, and notify the warehouse to handle the delivery formalities if the delivery conditions are met. The financial department confirms that the major risks of property in the goods and rewards have been transferred to the buyers upon the receipt of waybill with the consumers’ signature, and then issue sales invoices to confirm the sales revenue. (2)Provision of services At the balance sheet date, when the outcome of a transaction involving the rendering of services can be estimated reliably, revenue from provision of services shall be recognized using the percentage of completion method. The Company confirms the completion progress in accordance with the ratio of actual cost accounting for the total estimated cost. At the balance sheet date, when the outcome of the transaction involving the rendering of services cannot be estimated reliably, it shall be dealt with in the following ways: ① if the cost of services incurred is expected to be compensated, the revenue from the rendering of services is recognized to the extent of actual cost incurred to date, and the relevant cost is transferred to cost of service; ② if the cost of services incurred is not expected to be compensated, the cost incurred should be included in current profit or loss, and no revenue from the rendering of services may be recognized. (3)Assignment of asset use rights Revenue from usage fee arising from assignment of intangible assets (such as trademark rights, patent rights, franchise rights, software and copyright, etc.) and the use right of other assets will be recognized in accordance with the time and method for charge as required under relevant contract or 114 / 204 Qingdao Haier Co., Ltd 2018 Interim Report agreement and at the same time satisfy the conditions that the economic benefit in connection with transaction could flow into the Company and the amount of revenue could be reliably measured. (4)Construction contracts revenue Where the outcome of a construction contract can be estimated reliably at the balance sheet date, revenues and expenses associated are recognized using the percentage of completion method. The term “percentage of completion method” means a method by which the contractor recognizes its revenues and costs in the light of the schedule of the contracted project. The Company ascertained the completion schedule of a contract project according to the proportion of the completed total contract cost against the expected total contract cost. 25. Government grants (1)Types of government grants Government grants refer to the monetary assets or non-monetary assets obtained by the Company from the government for free, not including the investment made by the government as an owner. The government grants are mainly divided into asset-related government grants and revenue-related government grants. (2)Accounting treatment of government grants Asset-related government grants shall be recognized as deferred income in profit or loss for the period on an even basis over the useful life of the asset;government grants measured at nominal amount shall be recorded directly in profit and loss for the period. Revenue-related government grants shall be treated as follows: ① those used to compensate relevant expenses or losses to be incurred by the enterprise in subsequent periods are recognized as deferred income and recorded in profit or loss for the period when such expenses are recognized; ② those used to compensate relevant expenses or losses that have been incurred by the enterprise are recorded directly in profit or loss for the period. (3)Basis for determination of asset-related government grant and revenue-related government grant If the government grant received by the Company is used for construction or other project that forms a long term asset, it is regarded as asset-related government grant. If the government grant received by the Company is not asset-related, it is regarded as revenue-related government grant. Government grant received without clear objective shall be classified as asset-related government grant or revenue-related government grant by: ① Government grant subject to a certain project shall be separated according to the proportion of expenditure budget and capitalization budget, and the proportion shall be reviewed and modified if necessary on the balance sheet date; ② Government grant shall be categorized as related to income if its usage is just subject to general statement and no specific project in relevant document. 115 / 204 Qingdao Haier Co., Ltd 2018 Interim Report (4)Amortization method and determination of amortization period of deferred revenue related to government grants Asset-related government grant received by the Company is recognized as deferred revenue and is evenly amortized to the current profit or loss over the estimated useful life of the relevant asset starting from the date the asset is available for use. (5)Recognition of government grants Government grant measured at the amounts receivable is recognized at the end of period when there is clear evidence that the conditions set out in the financial subsidy policies and regulation are fulfilled and the receipt of such financial subsidy is assured. Other government grants other than those measured at the amounts receivables are recognized upon actual receipt of such subsidies. 26. Deferred income tax assets / deferred income tax liabilities √Applicable □Not Applicable Deferred income tax assets and deferred income tax liabilities of the Company are recognized: (1) Based on the difference between the carrying amount and the tax base amount of an asset or a liability (items not recognized as assets and liabilities but their tax base is ascertained by the current tax laws and regulation, the tax base is the difference), deferred income tax asset or deferred income tax liability is calculated using the applicable tax rate prevailing at the expected time of recovering the relevant asset or discharging the relevant liability. (2) Deferred income tax asset is recognized to the extent that there is enough taxable income for the utilization of the deductible temporary difference. At the balance sheet date, if there is sufficient evidence that there would be enough taxable benefit for the utilization of the deductible temporary difference, the deferred income tax asset not previously recognized is recognized in current period. If there is no sufficient evidence that there would be enough future taxable income for the deduction of the deferred income tax asset, the carrying value of the deferred income tax asset is reduced. (3) Deferred income tax liability is recognized for taxable temporary difference arising from investments in subsidiaries and associated companies, unless the Company could control the reversal of the temporary differences and the temporary differences would not be probably reversed in the foreseeable future. For deductible temporary differences arising from investments in subsidiaries and associated companies, deferred income tax asset is recognized if the temporary difference will be very probably reversed in foreseeable future and there will be sufficient future taxable profit to deduct the deductible temporary difference. (4) No deferred income tax liability is recognized for a temporary difference arising from the initial recognition of goodwill. No deferred income tax asset or deferred income tax liability is recognized for the temporary differences resulting from the initial recognition of assets or liabilities due to a transaction other than a business combination, which affects neither accounting profit nor taxable profit (or deductible loss). At the balance sheet date, deferred income tax assets and deferred income tax 116 / 204 Qingdao Haier Co., Ltd 2018 Interim Report liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are estimated to apply to the period when the asset is realized or the liability is settled. 27. Lease (1)、Accounting treatment of operating lease √Applicable □Not Applicable ① Rental payments for asset rented are amortized on a straight-line basis over the lease term (including rent-free periods), and credited into the current expenses. Initial direct costs that are attributable to leasing transactions paid by the Company are credited to current expense. When the lesser of the assets bears the lease related expenses which should be undertaken by the Company, the Company shall deduct that part of expense from the rent and amortize the net amount over the lease term and credited to current expense. ② Rental income received from assets rented out is amortized on a straight-line basis over the lease term (including rent-free periods), and recognized as lease income. Initial direct costs involving leasing transactions paid by the Company are credited into current expenses, in case the amount is significant, it will be capitalized, and are credited into current revenue on the same basis as rental income recognized over the lease term. When the Company bears the lease related expenses which should be undertaken by the lessee, the Company shall deduct that part of expense from the total rent income, and allocate the rental payment over the lease term. (2)、Accounting treatment of finance lease √Applicable □Not Applicable ①When the Company is a lessee, the leased asset is recorded at the amounts equal to the lower of the fair value of the leased asset and the present value of the minimum lease payments on the lease beginning date and the long-term payables is recorded at the amounts of the minimum lease payments. The difference between the recorded amount of the leased asset and the minimum lease payments is accounted for as unrecognized finance charge. The unrecognized finance charge is amortized using the effective interest method over the period of the lease and accounted in finance charge. Initial direct costs incurred by the Company are credited in value of leased assets. ②When the Company is a lessor, the difference between sum of the lease receivables and unguaranteed residual value and its present value is accounted for as unrealized finance income and is recognized as rental income over the period of receiving rental. Initial direct costs attributable to lease transaction incurred by the Company shall be accounted in the initial measurement of finance lease receivables and reduced the amount of recognized during period of the lease. 28. Other significant accounting policies and accounting estimations √Applicable □Not Applicable (1) Share repurchases When the Company purchases its own shares to decrease its registered capital or reward its staff, it shall be included in treasury stock against the amount actually paid. 117 / 204 Qingdao Haier Co., Ltd 2018 Interim Report When the Company awards the purchased shares to its staff under the equity-settled share-based payment agreement, it shall be included in capital reserve (equity premium) against the difference between the book balance of awarded treasury stock and the staff-paid cash and capital reserve recognized upon the granting of equity instruments. When cancelling the treasury stock, the share capital shall be cancelled against the total face value of the cancelled treasury stock; the treasury stock shall be eliminated against the book balance of the cancelled treasury stock; the capital reserve (equity premium) shall be eliminated against the difference; if the equity premium is insufficient for elimination, the retained earnings shall be adjusted accordingly. (2) Asset securitization business Some of the Company’s receivables are securitized. The Company’s underlying assets are trusted to a special purpose entity which issues senior asset-backed securities to investors. The Company holds subordinated asset-backed securities which are not transferrable before both the principals and interests of the senior asset-backed securities are repaid. The Company serves as the asset service supplier, providing services including asset maintenance and its daily management, formulation of the annual asset disposal plan, formulation and implementation of the asset disposal plan, signing relevant asset disposal agreements and periodic preparation of asset service report. Meanwhile, the Company, as the liquidity support organization, provides liquidity support before the principals of the senior asset-backed securities are fully repaid to make up the differences of the interests or principals. Trust assets are prioritized to repay the principals and interests of the senior asset-backed securities after the trust taxes and relevant fees are paid, and the remaining trust assets upon the full repayment of the principals and interests will be owned by the Company as returns of the subordinated asset-backed securities. The trust assets are not derecognized because the Company retains substantially all the risks and rewards. At the same time, the Company has de facto controls over the special purpose entity which are consolidated into our financial statements. The Company evaluates the extent to which it transfers the risks and rewards of ownership of the assets to the other entities and determines whether it retains control while applying the accounting policy in respect of asset securitization: ①The financial asset is derecognized when the Company transfers substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset; ②The financial asset is continued to recognize when the Company retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset; ③When the Company neither transfers nor retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset, the Company evaluates whether it retains control over the financial asset. If the Company does not retain control, it derecognizes the financial asset and recognizes separately as assets or liabilities any rights and obligations created or retained in the transfer. If the Company retains control, it continues to recognize the financial asset to the extent of its continuing involvement in the financial asset. (3) Hedge accounting 118 / 204 Qingdao Haier Co., Ltd 2018 Interim Report ①Hedges are classified as: 1) A fair value hedge is a hedge of the exposure to changes in fair value of a recognized asset or liability or an unrecognized firm commitment (except foreign exchange risk). 2) Cash flow hedges is a hedge of the exposure to variability in cash flows that is either attributable to a particular risk associated with a recognized asset or liability or a highly probable forecast transaction, or a foreign currency risk in an unrecognized firm commitment. 3) Hedge of a net investment in a foreign operation is a hedge of the exposure to foreign exchange risk associated with a net investment in a foreign operation. Net investment in a foreign operation is the share of interest in the net asset of the foreign operation. ②Designation of the hedge relationship and recognition of the effectiveness of hedging: At the inception of a hedge relationship, the Company formally designates the hedge relationship and prepares documents relating to the hedge relationship, the risk management objective and its strategy for undertaking the hedge. The documentation includes identification of the hedging instrument, the hedged item or transaction, the nature of the risk being hedged and how the Company will assess the hedging instrument’s effectiveness. Hedging instrument’s effectiveness means the degree of the change of fair value and cash flow of the hedging instrument in offsetting the exposure to changes in the hedged item’s fair value or cash flows attributable to the hedged risk. The hedge is assessed by the Company for effectiveness on an ongoing basis and judged whether it has been highly effective throughout the accounting periods for which the hedging relationship was designated. A hedge is regarded as highly effective if both of the following conditions are satisfied: 1) at the inception and in subsequent periods, the hedge is expected to be highly effective in offsetting changes in fair value or cash flows attributable to the hedged risk during the period for which the hedge is designated; 2) the actual results of offsetting are within a range of 80% to 125%. ③Method of Hedge accounting: 1)Fair value hedges The change in the fair value of a hedging derivative is recognized in the current profit or loss. The change in the fair value of the hedged item attributable to the risk hedged is recorded as a part of the carrying amount of the hedged item and is also recognized in the current profit or loss. For fair value hedges relating to financial instruments carried at amortized cost, the adjustment to carrying value of the hedged items is amortized through the current profit or loss over the remaining term from adjustment to maturity. Amortization based on the effective interest method may begin as soon as an adjustment is made to the carrying amount and shall not be later than when the hedged item ceases to be adjusted for changes in its fair value attributable to the risk being hedged. If the hedged item is derecognized, the unamortized fair value is recognized immediately in the current profit or loss. 119 / 204 Qingdao Haier Co., Ltd 2018 Interim Report When an unrecognized firm commitment is designated as a hedged item, the subsequent cumulative change in the fair value of the firm commitment attributable to the hedged risk is recognized as an asset or liability with a corresponding gain or loss recognized in the current profit or loss. The changes in the fair value of the hedging instrument are also recognized in the current profit or loss. 2)Cash flow hedges The effective portion of the gain or loss on the hedging instrument is recognized directly as capital reserve (other capital reserve), while the ineffective portion is recognized immediately in the current profit or loss. Amounts taken to capital reserve (other capital reserve) are transferred to the current profit or loss when the hedged transaction affects the current profit or loss, such as when hedged financial income or financial expense is recognized or when a forecast sale occurs. Where the hedged item is the cost of a non-financial asset or non-financial liability, the amounts taken to capital reserve (other capital reserve) are transferred to the initial carrying amount of the non-financial asset or non-financial liability (or the amounts originally recognized in capital reserve (other capital reserve) will be transferred to the current profit or loss for in the same period when the profit or loss are affected by the non-financial asset or non-financial liability). If the forecast transaction or firm commitment is no longer expected to occur, the accumulated profit or loss hedging instruments previously recognized in shareholders’ equity are transferred to the current profit or loss. If the hedging instrument expires or is sold, terminated or exercised without replacement or rollover, or if its designation as a hedge is revoked, the amounts previously recognized in other comprehensive income remain in there until the forecast transaction or firm commitment affects the current profit or loss. 3)Hedge of net investment in foreign operation A hedge of a net investment in a foreign operation includes the hedge of the currency item as a portion of net investment, its treatment is similar to cash flow hedge. The portion of the gain or loss on a hedging instrument that is determined to be an effective hedge is included in other comprehensive income. The ineffective portion is recognized in the current profit or loss. When deal with foreign operation, any accumulated profit or loss attributable to shareholders’ equity will be transferred to the current profit or loss. (4) Explanations on significant accounting estimates Judgments, estimates and assumptions shall be made to book value of the financial statements items, which could not be measured accurately, due to the inherent uncertainties of operating activities, while applying accounting policy. Such judgments, estimates and assumptions were based on the management’s historical experience and made after considered other various factors. These judgments, estimates and assumptions will influence the amount of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities presented in financial reports and the disclosure of contingent liabilities on the balance sheet date. However, the actual results caused by the uncertainties of these estimations may be different from the current estimates of the management, and thus cause a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of 120 / 204 Qingdao Haier Co., Ltd 2018 Interim Report assets and liabilities affected in the future. The judgments, estimates and assumptions mentioned above shall be reviewed on a going concern basis. If the revisions to accounting estimates only affected the period, relevant adjustment due to the effect shall be recognized in the period; if the revision affects both the current and future period, the effect shall be recognized in the current and future period. On the balance sheet date, the significant fields involving judgments, estimates and assumptions about financial report items are listed as follows: ① Estimated liability Provision for product quality guarantee, estimated onerous contracts, and other estimates shall be recognized in accordance with the terms of contract, current knowledge and historical experience. If the contingent event has formed a practical obligation which probably results in outflow of economic benefits from the Company, an estimated liability shall be recognized on the basis of the best estimate of the expenditures to settle relevant practical obligation. Recognition and measurement of the estimated liability significantly rely on the management’s judgments. In the process of judgment, the Company takes into consideration the assessment of relevant risks, uncertainties, time value of money and other factors related to the contingent events. Among them, the Company will undertake estimated liabilities with respect to the after-sales services provided for the return, maintenance and installation of goods. When estimating liabilities, the Company has considered the maintenance information in recent years, but the previous maintenance experiences may fail to reflect the future circumstances. Any increase or decrease in this provision is likely to affect the profits and losses of the next year. ②Provision for bad debts The allowance method is adopted for bad debts according to accounting policies of accounts receivables. Impairment losses for receivables are assessed on the basis of recoverability, as a result of judgments and estimates of the management. The difference between actual outcome and the previously estimated outcome will influence the carrying value of receivables and accrual or reversal of provision for bad debts during the period accounting estimates are changed. ③Provision of impairment of inventories Inventories are measured by lower of historical cost or net realizable value method according to the accounting policies of inventories; for obsolete and unsalable inventories or whose costs are higher than the net realizable, provision for impairment of inventories shall be incurred. The carrying value of inventory shall be written down to the net realizable value on the basis of the salability of inventories and the net realizable value. Inventory impairment requires the management’s obtaining of solid evidence, and their judgment and estimations made after considering the purpose of holding inventories and the effect of events after the balanced sheet date and etc. The difference between the actual outcome and the previously estimated outcome will influence the carrying value of inventories and the provision or reversal of impairment of inventories during the period accounting estimates are changed. ④Fair value of financial instruments For financial instruments where there is no active market, the Company will determine the fair value through a variety of valuation methods. Such valuation methods include discounted cash flow 121 / 204 Qingdao Haier Co., Ltd 2018 Interim Report analysis. In the valuation, the Company shall estimate the future cash flow, credit risk, market volatility and correlation, and select the appropriate discount rate. Such related assumptions are uncertain, and their changes may affect the fair value of financial instruments. ⑤Impairment of available-for-sale financial assets The determination of whether impairment loss shall be recognized in income statement for available-for-sale financial asset is significantly depends on the judgments and assumptions of the management. While making judgments and assumptions, it shall be take into consideration that how much the fair value of the investment is lower than the cost and its continuity, the financial position and short-term business projection of the investee, including industry conditions, technological innovation, the credit ratings, probability of violation and counterparts’ risks. ⑥Provision for long-term assets impairment On the balance sheet date, the Company shall judge whether there is any possible indication of impairment against non-current assets other than financial assets. The intangible assets with indefinite useful life must be tested for impairment on an annual basis as well as when there is any indication of impairment. Other non-current assets other than financial assets shall be tested for impairment when there is an indication showing that the carrying value is not recoverable. Impairment occurs while the carrying value of an asset or asset group is higher than the recoverable value, which is the higher of the net of fair value deducted disposal expenses and the present value of expected future cash flow. The net of fair value deducted by disposal expenditure is determined with reference to the price in the sale agreement regarding analogous asset, and observable market price less the increase of cost that directly attributable to the disposal of assets. Significant judgments regarding the production amount, sales price, relevant operating costs of the assets (or assets group) and the discount rate used to calculate the present value shall be made when determining the present value of future cash flows. Recoverable amount shall be estimated by using all accessible relevant information, including production amount, sales price, and relevant operating costs predictions made based on reasonable and supportive assumptions. The Company shall test for goodwill impairment at least every year. This requires the Company to estimate the present value of future cash flows for such assets groups or asset group portfolios allocated with goodwill. When estimating the present value of future cash flows, the Company shall not only estimate the future cash flows generated by such asset groups or asset group portfolios, and select the appropriate discount rate to determine the present value of such future cash flows. ⑦Depreciation and amortization Investment properties, fixed assets and intangible assets are depreciated and amortized by a straight-line approach over their estimated useful life by taking into consideration the residual value. Useful life shall be periodically reviewed to determine the depreciation and amortization expenses for each reporting period and be determined on the basis of historical experience regarding analogous assets and the expected technological innovation. Significant changes to previous accounting estimates will result in adjustments against depreciation and amortization expenses in the future periods. ⑧Deferred income tax assets 122 / 204 Qingdao Haier Co., Ltd 2018 Interim Report Deferred income tax asset is recognized for all the uncompensated tax losses to the extent that there is sufficient taxable income for the deduction of loss. In order to determine the amount of deferred tax assets, the management of the Company needs to predict the timing and the amount of taxable profits in the future by taking into account a large amount of judgment, as well as the strategy of tax planning. ⑨Income tax There are certain transactions the tax treatment and calculations undertaken during the ordinary course of business for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain. Whether some items could be presented before taxation shall be approved by relevant tax authorities. Where the final tax outcome of these matters is different from the initial estimated amount, such differences will impact the current and deferred tax in the period of confirmation. ⑩Returned profits from sales The Company and its subsidiaries adopt the policy of returned profits from sales for all consumers. According to the relevant conventions in the sales agreement, the review of specific transactions, the market situation, the pipeline inventory levels and the historical experiences, the Company and its subsidiaries estimate and make returned profits from sales on a regular basis with reference to the completion of agreed assessment indexes. Provisions of returned profits from sales involve the judgment and estimates of the management. In case of any significant changes in the previous estimates, the difference above will have an impact on the returned profits from sales during the period when significant changes occur. 29.
