Section IV Report of the Board of Directors I Industry Overview In the first half year of 2016, the macro-economic growth slowed down in China, housing market further polarized, raw material price went up and down, foreign exchange rate continued to be fluctuated, and the home appliance market entered into a stage of focusing on de-stocking, structural change, and product & consumption upgrading. According to China IOL data, the total sales volume of residential Air-conditioner for 2016H1 was just 58million units for the whole China market, which saw 15% decline year-on-year; the total sales volume of refrigerator for 2016H1 was 28.94million units, which saw 1.4% decline year-on-year; and the total sales volume of wash machine for 2016H1 was 27.50million units, which saw 3.82% increase year-on-year. Nevertheless, kitchen appliances and small appliances witnessed fast growth with 16.72million units sold at retail market for 2016H1, which has 4.7% increase year-on-year, according to All View Cloud data. Under the new economic environment, consumers showed much more participation in the process of buying home appliances and using appliances. Home appliances manufacturers become more product & consumer-oriented. Improving operational efficiency, developing smart appliances, leveraging online sales, and encouraging technological, sales channel and service model innovation, have been the core growth momentum for home appliances manufacturers. 2016 has seen consumption being further upgraded, people’s average income being constantly increased, new consuming group represented by youth born after 1985 being more and more active. All these contributed to the diversification of consuming demands and expansion of consuming area which pushed home appliance manufacturers to actively improve product mix, innovation technologies, as well as structural adjustment. According to All View Cloud data, premium smart home appliances have shown rapid growth trend. Sales of smart air conditioners account for 15.3% of total air conditioner sales in the offline channel and achieved 183.8% increase year-on-year, Smart refrigerators account for 10.5% of total refrigerator sales in the offline channel and achieved 438.2% growth year-on-year. Smart wash machines account for 5.8% of total wash machine sales in the offline channel and achieved 251% growth year-on-year. 10 2016 Semi-Annual Report of Midea Group Co., Ltd. 2016 also witnessed further channel restructuring in the home appliance industry. O2O business model, application of big data and widespread use of mobile payment have largely promoted channel upgrading in the home appliance industry as well as cooperation between home appliance and internet companies. E-commerce has entered into rapid growth period. In the first half of 2016, online sales of home appliances have reached historic high. The B2C online sales market for home appliances for 2016H1 has reached RMB184.8bn, and achieved 35% growth year-on-year. After five years’ rapid growth, online shopping has become a significant distribution channel for home appliances. From mid to long term perspective, the growth momentum of home appliance industry in China hasn’t had any change. The major reasons are as follows: 1) With constant increase of people’s income and accelerated urbanization in China, the penetration rate of home appliance market is still expected to be improved. According to the data from the National Bureau of Statistics of China, the nominal per capita disposable personal income (DPI) for 2016H1 is RMB 11,886, which has 8.7% increase year-on-year. Meanwhile, urbanization has been accelerated in China. A number of key projects have entered into implementation stage, which created new growth opportunities. All these can effectively pull consumption and release potential of domestic demands. 2) Continuous consumption upgrade, combining with the existing 1.6bn units home appliances sold in the Chinese market, has become a driving force to grow the home appliance sales in China. Notable progress has been made on improving technologies such as energy-saving, environmental friendly, smart appliances, industrial design as well as other features and quality of home appliances products. New generation of consumers has higher demand for life quality which also urged home appliance manufactures to improve their product offering. All these can help improve the product mix and profitability of home appliance manufacturers. 3) In an era of internet+, technology & innovation will further push China to become a Manufacturing Power. Improvement on relevant technologies such as smart control technology, information technology, IOT, big data, cloud computing etc. as well as the widespread use of mobile devices will effectively drive the rapid development of smart home which has been widely recognized as the future trend for the development of home appliances. According to the prediction of China Market Monitor, by 2020 the penetration rate of smart appliances will be further improved in China with smart appliances account for 45%, 25%, and 28% respectively of white goods, kitchen appliances and small domestic appliances 11 2016 Semi-Annual Report of Midea Group Co., Ltd. sales. In the future five years, the demand for smart appliances will reach RMB1500bn in China. 4) Under the new competition environment, the ecology of home appliance industry will be further improved, and home appliance market will be further consolidated. Leading home appliance manufacturers, with their competitive advantages in brands, technologies, industrial chain, services, and channels, are expected to further improve their market share and profitability. 5) Based on the huge domestic market with a big population of 1.4bn in China, the home appliance manufacturers in China have formed their competitive advantages in respect of scale, product cluster, industrial chain support and capital, and will still maintain their competitiveness globally. Developing markets have large population and growing economy, and are now entering into fast-developing period for home appliances. Chinese companies are expected to play a significant role in these markets which will provide a solid foundation for the export growth of Chinese companies. Meanwhile, Chinese companies are very active in the global M&A fields. Acquisitions of brands, channels, technologies will provide Chinese companies with new competitive advantages worldwide.

The Company intends to make a cash tender offer of 115 euro/share to acquire KUKA shares via its wholly-owned foreign subsidiary MECCA, with the funds needed sourced from syndicated loans and the Company’s own funds.

Adding the 13.51% stake that the Company had held in KUKA before the tender offer, the Company would hold 94.55% in total of KUKA’s outstanding shares provided the acquisition is successfully completed. On 10 August 2016, the Company received the Notice of No Further Examination (SFLCSH [2016] Document No. 224) from the Anti-monopoly Bureau under the Ministry of Commerce, which gave a 64 2016 Semi-Annual Report of Midea Group Co., Ltd. green light to the acquisition as the Bureau reviewed the concentration of undertakings involved.

On 27 August 2016, the condition regarding the U.S. antitrust scrutiny has also been met. The acquisition is still subject to the antitrust review by the E.U., Russia, Brazil and Mexico, as well as the approval of the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States and the Directorate of Defense Trade Controls of the U.S..

The detailed information of subsidiaries no longer included in the consolidation scope in current year is set out in Note 5(2) (b). These financial statements were authorised for issue by the Company’s Board of Directors on 29 August 2016. 2 Summary of significant accounting policies and accounting estimates The Group determines specific accounting policies and accounting estimates based on the features of production and operation, mainly including the recognition method of provision for bad debts of accounts receivable (Note 2(10)), valuation method of inventory (Note 2(12)), depreciation of fixed assets and amortisation of intangible assets (Note 2(15) and (18)), and recognition time of revenue (Note 2(27)). Critical judgements applied by the Group in determining significant accounting policies are set out in Note 2(32). (1) Basis of preparation The financial statements are prepared in accordance with the Accounting Standard for Business Enterprises - Basic Standard, and the specific accounting standards and other relevant regulations issued by the Ministry of Finance on 15 February 2006 and in subsequent periods (hereafter collectively referred to as “the Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises” or “CAS”). The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises No.32 - Interim financial standards issued by the Ministry of Finance, and should be read in conjunction with the Group’s annual financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2015. The financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis. (2) Statement of compliance with the Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises The financial statements of the Company for the six months ended 30 June 2016 are in compliance with the Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises, and truly and completely present the Consolidated and the Company's financial position as at 30 June 2016 and their financial performance, cash flows and other information for the period then ended. - 83 - 2016 Semi-Annual Report of Midea Group Co., Ltd. (3) Accounting period The Company’s accounting year starts on 1 January and ends on 31 December. (4) Recording currency The recording currency of the Company is the Renminbi (“RMB”) and the financial statements are presented in RMB. The Company and its subsidiaries determine their recording currency based on the valuation and settlement currency of their main operating revenues and expenses. As the recording currency of some of the Company's subsidiaries is not RMB, the Company translates the foreign currency financial statements of such subsidiaries in the preparation of financial statements (Note 2(8) (b)). (5) Business combinations (a) Business combinations involving enterprises under common control The consideration paid and net assets obtained by the absorbing party in a business combination are measured at the carrying amount. The difference between the carrying amount of the net assets obtained from the combination and the carrying amount of the consideration paid for the combination is treated as an adjustment to capital surplus (share premium). If the capital surplus (share premium) is not sufficient to absorb the difference, the remaining balance is adjusted against retained earnings. Costs directly attributable to the combination are included in profit or loss in the period in which they are incurred. Transaction costs associated with the issue of equity or debt securities for the business combination are included in the initially recognised amounts of the equity or debt securities. (b) Business combinations involving enterprises not under common control The cost of combination and identifiable net assets obtained by the acquirer in a business combination are measured at fair value at the acquisition dates. 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 recognised 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 recognised in profit or loss for the current period. Costs directly attributable to the combination are included in profit or loss in the period in which they are incurred. Transaction costs associated with the issue of equity or debt securities for the business combination are included in the initially recognised amounts of the equity or debt securities. For business combinations achieved by stages involving enterprises not under common control, previously-held equity in the acquiree is remeasured at its fair value at the acquisition dates, and the difference between its fair value and carrying amount is included in investment income for the current period in consolidated financial statements. Where the previously-held equity in the acquiree involves other comprehensive income under equity method and shareholders’ equity changes other than those arising from the net profit or loss, other comprehensive income and profit distribution, the related other comprehensive income and other shareholders' equity changes are transferred into income for the current period to which the acquisition dates belongs, excluding those arising from changes in the investee's remeasurement of net liability or net asset related to the defined benefit plan. The excess of the sum of fair value of the previously-held equity and fair value of the consideration paid at the acquisition dates over share of fair value of identifiable net assets acquired from the subsidiary is recognised as goodwill. (6) Preparation of consolidated financial statements The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of the Company and all of its subsidiaries. Subsidiaries are consolidated from the date on which the Group obtains control and are de-consolidated from the date that such control ceases. For a subsidiary that is acquired in a business combination involving enterprises under common control, it is included in the consolidated financial statements from the date when it, together with the Company, comes under common control of the ultimate controlling party. The portion of the net profits realised before the combination date is presented separately in the consolidated income statement. - 84 - 2016 Semi-Annual Report of Midea Group Co., Ltd. In preparing the consolidated financial statements, where the accounting policies and the accounting periods of the Company and subsidiaries are inconsistent, the financial statements of the subsidiaries are adjusted in accordance with the accounting policies and the accounting period of the Company. For subsidiaries acquired from business combinations involving enterprises not under common control, the individual financial statements of the subsidiaries are adjusted based on the fair value of the identifiable net assets at the acquisition dates. All significant intra-group balances, transactions and unrealised profits are eliminated in the consolidated financial statements. The portion of subsidiaries’ equity and the portion of a subsidiaries’ net profits and losses and comprehensive incomes for the period not attributable to Company are recognised as minority interests and presented separately in the consolidated financial statements under equity, net profits and total comprehensive income respectively. Unrealised profits and losses resulting from the sale of assets by the Company to its subsidiaries are fully eliminated against net profit attributable to shareholders of the parent company. Unrealised profits and losses resulting from the sale of assets by a subsidiary to the Company are eliminated and allocated between net profit attributable to shareholders of the parent and minority interests in accordance with the allocation proportion of the parent in the subsidiary. Unrealised profits and losses resulting from the sale of assets by one subsidiary to another are eliminated and allocated between net profit attributable to shareholders of the parent and minority interests in accordance with the allocation proportion of the parent in the subsidiary. If the accounting treatment of a transaction which considers the Group as an accounting entity is different from that considers the Company or its subsidiaries as an accounting entity, it is adjusted from the perspective of the Group. (7) Recognition criteria of cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand, deposits that can be readily drawn on demand, and short-term and highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. (8) Foreign currency translation (a) Foreign currency transaction Foreign currency transactions are translated into RMB using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. At the balance sheet date, monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are translated into RMB using the spot exchange rates on the balance sheet date. Exchange differences arising from these translations are recognised in profit or loss for the current period, except for those attributable to foreign currency borrowings that have been taken out specifically for the acquisition or construction of qualifying assets, which are capitalised as part of the cost of those assets. Non-monetary items denominated in foreign currencies that are measured at historical costs are translated at the balance sheet date using the spot exchange rates at the date of the transactions. The effect of exchange rate changes on cash is presented separately in the cash flow statement. (b) Translation of foreign currency financial statements The asset and liability items in the balance sheets for overseas operations are translated at the spot exchange rates on the balance sheet date. Among the shareholders’ equity items, the items other than “undistributed profits” are translated at the spot exchange rates of the transaction dates. The income and expense items in the income statements of overseas operations are translated at the spot exchange rates of the transaction dates. The differences arising from the above translation are presented in other comprehensive income. The cash flows of overseas operations are translated at the spot exchange rates on the dates of the cash flows. The effect of exchange rate changes on cash is presented separately in the cash flow statement. (9) Financial instrument (a) Financial assets - 85 - 2016 Semi-Annual Report of Midea Group Co., Ltd. (i) Classification of financial assets Financial assets are classified into the following categories at initial recognition: financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, loans and receivables and available-for-sale financial assets. The classification of financial assets depends on the Group’s intention and ability to hold the financial assets. Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss include financial assets held for the purpose of selling in the short term. Loans and receivables Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market, including cash at bank and on hand, deposits with central bank, deposits with banks and other financial institutions, loans and advances, interest receivable, dividends receivable, accounts receivable and structural deposits with banks Available-for-sale financial assets Available-for-sale financial assets are non-derivative financial assets that are either designated in this category or not classified in any of the other categories at initial recognition. Available-for-sale financial assets are included in other current assets on the balance sheet if management intends to dispose of them within 12 months after the balance sheet date. (ii) Derivative financial instruments The derivative financial instruments held or issued by the Group are mainly used in controlling risk exposures. Derivative financial instruments are initially recognised at fair value on the day when derivatives transaction contract was signed, and subsequently measured at fair value. The derivative financial instruments are recorded as assets when they have a positive fair value and as liabilities when they have a negative fair value. The recognition of changes in fair value of derivative financial instruments depends on whether such derivative financial instruments are designated as hedging instruments and meet requirements for hedging instruments, and depends on the nature of hedged items in this case. For derivative financial instruments that are not designated as hedging instruments and fail to meet requirements on hedging instruments, including those held for the purpose of providing hedging against specific risks in interest rate and foreign exchange but not conforming with requirements of hedge accounting, the changes in fair value are recorded in gains or losses arising from changes in fair value in the consolidated income statement. At the inception of the transaction, the Group officially designates the hedging relations between hedging instruments and hedged items and documents the hedging relations, risk management objectives and hedging strategies. The Group also makes written assessment of the effectiveness of hedging instruments in offsetting changes in the fair value or cash flow of hedged items. These criteria should be met before hedging accounting is determined as applicable to such hedges. Cash flow hedge Cash flow hedge is a hedge of the exposure to variability in cash flows that is attributable to a particular risk associated with a recognised asset or liability (such as all or some future interest payments on variable rate debt) or a highly probable forecast transaction that could ultimately affect the profit or loss. The effective portion of changes in the fair value of hedging instruments that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges is recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity in the “capital reserve”. The ineffective portion is recognised immediately in the profit or loss. - 86 - 2016 Semi-Annual Report of Midea Group Co., Ltd. Amounts accumulated in equity are reclassified to the profit or loss in the same periods when the hedged item affects the profit or loss. When a hedging instrument expires or is sold, or the hedge designation is revoked or when a hedge no longer meets the criteria for hedge accounting, any cumulative gain or loss on the hedging instrument existing in equity at that time remains in equity and is reclassified to the profit or loss when the forecast transaction ultimately occurs. When a forecast transaction is no longer expected to occur, the cumulative gain or loss existing in equity is immediately transferred to the profit or loss. (iii) Recognition and measurement Financial assets are recognised at fair value on the balance sheet when the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the financial instrument. In the case of financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, the related transaction costs incurred at the time of acquisition are recognised in profit or loss for the current period. For other financial assets, transaction costs that are attributable to the acquisition of the financial assets are included in their initially recognised amounts. Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss and available-for-sale financial assets are subsequently measured at fair value. Investments in equity instruments are measured at cost when they do not have a quoted market price in an active market and whose fair value cannot be reliably measured. Receivables and held-to-maturity investments are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Gains or losses arising from change in the fair value of financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are recognised in profit or loss. Interests and cash dividends received during the period in which such financial assets are held, as well as the gains or losses arising from disposal of these assets are recognised in profit or loss for the current period. Gains or losses arising from change in fair value of available-for-sale financial assets are recognised directly in equity, except for impairment losses and foreign exchange gains and losses arising from translation of monetary financial assets. When such financial assets are derecognised, the cumulative gains or losses previously recognised directly into equity are recycled into profit or loss for the current period. Interests on available-for-sale investments in debt instruments calculated using the effective interest method during the period in which such investments are held and cash dividends declared by the investee on available-for-sale investments in equity instruments are recognised as investment income, which is recognised in profit or loss for the period. (iv) Impairment of financial assets The Group assesses the carrying amounts of financial assets other than those at fair value through profit or loss at each balance sheet date. If there is objective evidence that a financial asset is impaired, an impairment loss is provided for... Objective evidence indicating impairment of financial assets refers to the matter that actually occurs after the initial recognition of financial assets, it will affect estimated future cash flows of financial assets, and its impact can be reliably measured. Objective evidence indicating impairment of available-for-sale investments in equity instruments includes a significant or prolonged decline in the fair value of an investment in an equity instrument. The Group reviews available-for-sale investments in equity instruments on an individual basis at the balance sheet date. If the fair value of an equity instrument investment at the balance sheet date is lower than 50% (inclusive) of its initial cost for more than 12 months (inclusive), it indicates that the impairment has occurred. If the fair value at the balance sheet date is lower than 20% (inclusive) but no more than 50%, the Group considers other relevant factors, such as price fluctuation rate, to determine whether an impairment of equity instrument investment occurs. The Group calculates the initial investment cost of available-for-sale equity instruments by using weighted average method. When an impairment loss on a financial asset carried at amortised cost has occurred, the amount of loss is provided for at the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of its estimated future cash flows (excluding future credit losses that have not been incurred). If there is objective evidence that the value of the financial asset recovered and the recovery is related - 87 - 2016 Semi-Annual Report of Midea Group Co., Ltd. objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognised, the previously recognised impairment loss is reversed and the amount of reversal is recognised in profit or loss. If an impairment loss on available-for-sale financial assets measured at fair value incurs, the cumulative losses arising from the decline in fair value that had been recognised directly in shareholders' equity are transferred out from equity and into impairment loss. For an investment in debt instrument classified as available-for-sale on which impairment losses have been recognised, if, in a subsequent period, its fair value increases and the increase can be objectively related to an event occurring after the impairment loss was recognised in profit or loss, the previously recognised impairment loss is reversed into profit or loss for the current period. For an investment in an equity instrument classified as available-for-sale on which impairment losses have been recognised, the increase in its fair value in a subsequent period is recognised directly in equity. If an impairment loss on an available-for-sale financial asset measured at cost incurs, the amount of loss is measured at the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows discounted at the current market rate of return for a similar financial asset. The previously recognised impairment loss will not be reversed in subsequent periods. The previously recognised impairment loss will not be reversed in subsequent periods. Please refer to Note 2(10) for accounting policies related to impairment of receivables. (v) Derecognition of financial assets A financial asset is derecognised when any of the below criteria is met: (1) the contractual rights to receive the cash flows from the financial asset expire; (2) the financial asset has been transferred and the Group transfers substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset to the transferee; or (3) the financial asset has been transferred and the Group has not retained control of the financial asset, although the Group neither transfers nor retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset. On derecognition of a financial asset, the difference between the carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received and the cumulative changes in fair value that had been recognised directly in equity, is recognised in profit or loss. (b) Financial liabilities Financial liabilities are classified into two categories at initial recognition: financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss and other financial liabilities. The Group's financial liabilities include derivative financial liabilities, accounts payable, notes payable, borrowings, customer deposits and deposits from banks and other financial institutions, financial assets sold under repurchase agreements and interest payable. Payables comprise accounts payable, other payables and other current liabilities, and are recognised at fair value at initial recognition. Payables are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Borrowings and debentures payable are recognised initially at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred, and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Other financial liabilities with maturities no more than one year (inclusive) are classified as current liabilities. Other financial liabilities with maturities over one year but are due within one year (inclusive) since the balance sheet date are classified as the current portion of non-current liabilities. Others are classified as non-current liabilities. A financial liability (or a part of a financial liability) is derecognised when all or part of the obligation is extinguished. The difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability or the derecognised part of the financial liability and the consideration paid is recognised in profit or loss. (c) Determination of fair value of financial instruments - 88 - 2016 Semi-Annual Report of Midea Group Co., Ltd. The fair value of a financial instrument that is traded in an active market is determined at the quoted price in the active market. The fair value of a financial instrument that is not traded in an active market is determined by using a valuation technique. In valuation, the Group uses a valuation technique that is applicable in the current situation and supported by adequate available data and other information, selects inputs with the same characteristics as those of assets or liabilities considered in relevant trade of assets or liabilities by market participants, and maximises the use of relevant observable inputs. The Group uses unobservable inputs when relevant observable inputs are not available or feasible. (10) Provision for bad debts of receivables Receivables comprise accounts receivable and other receivables. Accounts receivable arising from sales of goods or rendering of services are initially recognised at fair value of the contractual payments from the buyers or service recipients. (a) Receivables with amounts that are individually significant and subject to separate assessment for provision for bad debts Receivables with amounts that are individually significant are subject to separate assessment for impairment. If there exists objective evidence that the Group will not be able to collect the amount under the original terms, a provision for impairment of that receivable is made. The judgement standard for individually significant amount is an individual amount exceeding RMB5,000,000 for accounts receivable and RMB500,000 for other receivables. The Group makes provision for bad debts for those individually significant amounts based on the amount by which the present value of the future cash flows expected to be derived from the receivable is below its carrying amount (b) Accounts receivable and other receivables that are subject to provision for bad debts on the grouping basis Receivables with amounts that are not individually significant and those receivables that have been individually assessed for impairment and have not been found impaired are classified into certain groupings based on their credit risk characteristics. The provision for bad debts is determined based on the historical loss experience for the groupings of receivables with similar credit risk characteristics, taking into consideration of the current circumstances. The Group assesses the recovery risk of receivables based on the characteristics of different regions. The Company's subsidiaries in Mainland China classify the credit risk groupings by taking the ageing of receivables as the risk characteristics and determine different provision ratios based on business features. Within 6 6 months to months 1 year 1 to 2 years 2 to 3 years 3 to 5 years Over 5 years Air-conditioner motors and related components 5% 5% 10% 30% 50% 100% Refrigerator motors and related components 5% 5% 10% 30% 50% 100% Washing machine motors and related components 5% 5% 10% 30% 50% 100% Small household appliances 5% 5% 10% 30% 50% 100% Logistics and transport 0% 5% 10% 30% 50% 100% Motor 0% 5% 10% 30% 50% 100% Others 5% 5% 10% 30% 50% 100% The Company's subsidiaries in Hong Kong, Macau, Singapore and Japan make bad debts provision for receivables on an individual basis. The Company's subsidiaries in Brazil make no bad debts provision for receivables with the ageing within 1 year and adopt 100% provision ratio for those with the ageing over 1 year. - 89 - 2016 Semi-Annual Report of Midea Group Co., Ltd. (c) Accounts receivable and other receivables with amounts that are not individually significant but subject to separate assessment for provision for bad debts The reason for making separate assessment for provision for bad debts is that there exists objective evidence that the Group will not be able to collect the amount under the original terms of the receivable. The provision for bad debts is determined based on the amount by which the present value of the future cash flows expected to be derived from the receivable is below its carrying amount. (d) When the Group transfers the accounts receivable to the financial institutions without recourse, the difference between the proceeds received from the transaction and their carrying amounts and the related taxes is recognised in profit or loss for the current period. (11) Provision for bad debts of loans and advances The provision for bad debts of loans and advances is provided by five classes of ending balances of loans and advances (12) Inventories (a) Classification of inventories Inventories, including raw materials, consigned processing materials, low value consumables, work in progress, finished goods, etc., are measured at the lower of cost and net realisable value. (b) Costing of inventories Cost is determined using the first-in first-out method when issued. The cost of finished goods and work in progress comprises raw materials, direct labour and systematically allocated production overhead based on the normal production capacity. (c) Basis for determining net realisable values of inventories and method for making provision for decline in the value of inventories Inventories are initially measured at cost. The cost of inventories comprises purchase cost, processing cost and other expenditures to bring the inventories to current site and condition. On the balance sheet date, inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Net realisable value is determined based on the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated costs to completion and estimated costs necessary to make the sale and related taxes. Provision for decline in the value of inventories is determined at the excess amount of the cost as calculated based on the classification of inventories over their net realisable value, and are recognised in profit or loss for the current period. (d) Inventory system The Group adopts the perpetual inventory system. (e) Amortisation methods of low value consumables and packaging materials Low value consumables are expensed in full when issued and recognised in cost of related assets or in profit or loss for the current period. (13) Long-term equity investments Long-term equity investments comprise the Company’s long-term equity investments in its subsidiaries, and the Group’s long-term equity investments in its associates and joint venture. - 90 - 2016 Semi-Annual Report of Midea Group Co., Ltd. Subsidiaries are the investees over which the Company is able to exercise control. A joint venture is a joint arrangement which is structured through a separate vehicle over which the Group has joint control together with other parties and only has rights to the net assets of the arrangement based on legal forms, contractual terms and other facts and circumstances. Associates are the investees that the Group has significant influence on their financial and operating policies. Investments in subsidiaries are presented in the Company’s financial statements using the cost method, and are adjusted to the equity method when preparing the consolidated financial statements. Investments in a joint venture and associates are accounted for using the equity method. (a) Determination of investment cost For long-term equity investments acquired through a business combination: for long-term equity investments acquired through a business combination involving enterprises under common control, the investment cost shall be the absorbing party’s share of the carrying amount of shareholders’ equity of the party being absorbed at the combination date; for long-term equity investment acquired through a business combination involving enterprises not under common control, the investment cost shall be the combination cost. For business combinations achieved by stages involving enterprises not under common control, the initial investment cost accounted for using the cost method is the sum of carrying amount of previously-held equity investment and additional investment cost. Including: For previously-held equity accounted for using the equity method, the accounting treatment of related other comprehensive income from disposal of the equity is carried out on a same basis with the investee's direct disposal of related assets or liabilities. Shareholders' equity, which is recognised due to changes in investee’s shareholders’ equity other than those arising from the net profit or loss, other comprehensive income and profit distribution, is accordingly transferred into profit or loss in the period in which the investment is disposed. For investment in previously-held equity accounted for using the recognition and measurement standards of financial instruments, the initial investment cost accounted for using the cost method is the sum of carrying amount of previously-held equity investment and additional investment cost. The difference between the fair value and carrying amount of investment in previously-held equity and accumulated fair value changes previously recognised into other comprehensive income are all transferred into current investment income when accounted for using the cost method. For long-term equity investments acquired not through a business combination: for long-term equity investment acquired by payment in cash, the initial investment cost shall be the purchase price actually paid; for long-term equity investments acquired by issuing equity securities, the initial investment cost shall be the fair value of the equity securities issued. (b) Subsequent measurement and recognition of related profit and loss For long-term equity investments accounted for using the cost method, they are measured at the initial investment costs, and cash dividends or profit distribution declared by the investees are recognised as investment income in profit or loss. For long-term equity investments accounted for using the equity method, where the initial investment cost of a long-term equity investment exceeds the Group’s share of the fair value of the investee’s identifiable net assets at the acquisition date, the long-term equity investment is measured at the initial investment cost; where the initial investment cost is less than the Group’s share of the fair value of the investee’s identifiable net assets at the acquisition date, the difference is included in profit or loss and the cost of the long-term equity investment is adjusted upwards accordingly. For long-term equity investments accounted for using the equity method, the Group recognises the investment income according to its share of net profit or loss of the investee. The Group discontinues recognising its share of net losses of an investee after the carrying amount of the long-term equity investment together with any long-term interests that, in substance, form part of the investor’s net investment in the investee are reduced to zero. However, if the Group has obligations for additional losses and the criteria with respect to recognition of provisions under the accounting standards on contingencies are satisfied, the Group continues recognising the investment losses and the provisions. The changes in the shareholders’ equity of the investee other than those arising from the net profit or - 91 - 2016 Semi-Annual Report of Midea Group Co., Ltd. loss, other comprehensive income and profit distribution, are recognised in the Group’s equity and the carrying amounts of the long-term equity investment are adjusted accordingly. The carrying amount of the investment is reduced by the Group’s share of the profit distribution or cash dividends declared by an investee. The unrealised profits or losses arising from the intra-group transactions amongst the Group and its investees are eliminated in proportion to the Group’s equity interest in the investees, and then based on which the investment gains or losses are recognised. For the loss on the intra-group transaction amongst the Group and its investees attributable to asset impairment, any unrealised loss is not eliminated. (c) Basis for determining existence of control, jointly control or significant influence over investees Control is the power to govern an investee and obtain variable returns from participating the investee's activities, and the ability to utilise the power of an investee to affect its returns. Joint control is the contractually agreed sharing of control over an arrangement, and relevant economic activity can be arranged upon the unanimous approval of the Group and other participants sharing of control rights. Significant influence is the power to participate in the financial and operating policy decisions of the investee, but is not control or joint control over those policies. (d) Impairment of long-term equity investments The carrying amounts of long-term equity investments in subsidiaries, joint venture and associates are reduced to the recoverable amounts when the recoverable amounts are below their carrying amounts (Note 2(20)). (14) Investment properties Investment properties, including land use rights that have already been leased out, buildings that are held for the purpose of leasing and buildings that are being constructed or developed for future use for leasing, are measured initially at cost. Subsequent expenditures incurred in relation to an investment property are included in the cost of the investment property when it is probable that the associated economic benefits will flow to the Group and their costs can be reliably measured; otherwise, the expenditures are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they are incurred. The Group adopts the cost model for subsequent measurement of investment properties. Buildings and land use rights are depreciated or amortised to their estimated net residual values over their estimated useful lives. The estimated useful lives, the estimated net residual values that are expressed as a percentage of cost and the annual depreciation (amortisation) rates of investment properties are as follows: Estimated useful Estimated net Annual lives residual value depreciation (amortisation) rates Buildings 20 to 40 years 5% 2.38% to 4.75% Land use rights 40 to 50 years - 2% to 2.5% When an investment property is transferred to owner-occupied properties, it is reclassified as fixed asset or intangible asset at the date of the transfer. When an owner-occupied property is transferred out for earning rentals or for capital appreciation, the fixed asset or intangible asset is reclassified as investment properties at its carrying amount at the date of the transfer. At the time of transfer, the property is recognised based on the carrying amount before transfer. The investment properties' estimated useful lives, the estimated net residual values and the depreciation (amortisation) methods applied are reviewed and adjusted as appropriate at each year-end. An investment property is derecognised on disposal or when the investment property is permanently withdrawn from use and no future economic benefits are expected from its disposal. The net amount - 92 - 2016 Semi-Annual Report of Midea Group Co., Ltd. of proceeds from sale, transfer, retirement or damage of an investment property after deducting its carrying amount and related taxes and expenses is recognised in profit or loss for the current period. (15) Fixed assets (a) Recognition and initial measurement of fixed assets Fixed assets comprise buildings, lands with permanent ownership, machinery and equipment, motor vehicles, computers and electronic equipment and office equipment. Fixed assets are recognised when it is probable that the related economic benefits will flow to the Group and the costs can be reliably measured. The initial cost of purchased fixed assets include purchase price, related taxes and expenditures that are attributable to the assets incurred before the assets are ready for their intended use. The initial cost of self-constructed fixed assets is determined based on Note 2(15). Subsequent expenditures incurred for fixed assets are included in the cost of fixed assets when it is probable that the associated economic benefits will flow to the Group and the related cost can be reliably measured. The carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognised. All the other subsequent expenditures are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they are incurred. (b) Depreciation methods of fixed assets Fixed assets are depreciated using the straight-line method to allocate the cost of the assets to their estimated residual values over their estimated useful lives. For the fixed assets that have been provided for impairment loss, the related depreciation charge is prospectively determined based upon the adjusted carrying amounts over their remaining useful lives. The estimated useful lives, the estimated residual values expressed as a percentage of cost and the annual depreciation rates of the Group's fixed assets are as follows: Estimated useful Estimated net Annual depreciation Classes lives residual value rates Buildings 20 to 40 years 0% or 5% 5% to 2.38% Machinery and equipment 8 to 18 years 0% or 5% 12.5% to 5.28% Motor vehicles 2 to 20 years 0% or 10% 50% to 5% Electronic equipment and other equipment 2 to 13 years 0% or 10% 50% to 7.69% The estimated useful lives and the estimated net residual values of the Group's fixed assets and the depreciation methods applied to the assets are reviewed, and adjusted as appropriate at each year-end. (c) Basis for identification and measurement of fixed assets held under finance leases A lease that transfers substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of an asset is a finance lease. Fixed asset under finance leases is recorded at an amount equal to the lower of the fair value of the leased asset and the present value of the minimum lease payments. The difference between the recorded amount of the leased asset and the minimum lease payments is accounted for as unrecognised finance charge. Fixed assets under finance leases are subject to the same depreciation policy as for fixed assets that are self-owned. If it can be reasonably assured that the ownership of the leased asset will be transferred to the Group when the lease expires, the asset is depreciated over its estimated useful life. Otherwise, the asset is depreciated over the shorter of the lease period and the expected useful life. (d) The carrying amount of a fixed asset is reduced to the recoverable amount when the recoverable amount is below the carrying amount (Note 2(20)). (d) Disposal of fixed assets - 93 - 2016 Semi-Annual Report of Midea Group Co., Ltd. A fixed asset is derecognised on disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. The amount of proceeds from disposals on sale, transfer, retirement or damage of a fixed asset net of its carrying amount and related taxes and expenses is recognised in profit or loss for the current period. (16) Construction in progress Construction in progress is measured at actual cost. Actual cost comprises construction costs, installation costs, borrowing costs that are eligible for capitalisation and other costs necessary to bring the fixed assets ready for their intended use. Construction in progress is transferred to fixed assets when the assets are ready for their intended use, and depreciation begins from the following month. The carrying amount of construction in progress is reduced to the recoverable amount when the recoverable amount is below the carrying amount (Note 2(20)). (17) Borrowing costs The borrowing costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition and construction of a fixed asset that needs a substantially long period of time for its intended use commence to be capitalised and recorded as part of the cost of the asset when expenditures for the asset and borrowing costs have been incurred, and the activities relating to the acquisition and construction that are necessary to prepare the asset for its intended use have commenced. The capitalisation of borrowing costs ceases when the asset under acquisition or construction becomes ready for its intended use and the borrowing costs incurred thereafter are recognised in profit or loss for the current period. Capitalisation of borrowing costs is suspended during periods in which the acquisition or construction of a fixed asset is interrupted abnormally and the interruption lasts for more than 3 months, until the acquisition or construction is resumed. For the specific borrowings obtained for the acquisition or construction of a fixed asset qualifying for capitalisation, the amount of borrowing costs eligible for capitalisation is determined by deducting any interest income earned from depositing the unused specific borrowings in the banks or any investment income arising on the temporary investment of those borrowings during the capitalisation period. For the general borrowings obtained for the acquisition or construction of a fixed asset qualifying for capitalisation, the amount of borrowing costs eligible for capitalisation is determined by applying the weighted average effective interest rate of general borrowings, to the weighted average of the excess amount of cumulative expenditures on the asset over the amount of specific borrowings. The effective interest rate is the rate at which the estimated future cash flows during the period of expected duration of the borrowings or applicable shorter period are discounted to the initial amount of the borrowings. (18) Intangible assets Intangible assets include land use rights, patents and others, and are measured at cost. (a) Land use rights Land use rights are amortised on the straight-line basis over their approved use period of 40 to 50 years. If the acquisition costs of the land use rights and the buildings located thereon cannot be reasonably allocated between the land use rights and the buildings, all of the acquisition costs are recognised as fixed assets. (b) Patents and non-patent technologies Patents are amortised on a straight-line basis over the statutory period of validity, the period as stipulated by contracts or the beneficial period. (c) Trademarks Purchased trademarks are measured at cost upon acquisition. Trademarks obtained from business combinations involving enterprises not under common control are recognised at fair value upon evaluation. Trademarks are amortised on the straight-line basis over the expected useful life of 40 years. - 94 - 2016 Semi-Annual Report of Midea Group Co., Ltd. (d) Periodical review of useful life and amortisation method For an intangible asset with a finite useful life, review of its useful life and amortisation method is performed at each year-end, with adjustment made as appropriate. (e) Research and development (“R&D”) The expenditure on an internal research and development project is classified into expenditure on the research phase and expenditure on the development phase based on its nature and whether there is material uncertainty that the research and development activities can form an intangible asset at end of the project. Expenditure on the planned investigation, evaluation and selection for the R&D of production processes or products is expenditure on the research phase, which is recognised in profit or loss in the period in which it is incurred. Expenditure on design and test for the final application of the R&D of production processes or products before mass production is expenditure on the development phase, which is capitalised only if all of the following conditions are satisfied: The R&D of production processes or products has been fully justified by technical team; The budget on the R&D of production processes or products has been approved by the management; It's been proved by previous market research analysis that the products produced by the production processes have marketing capabilities; There are sufficient technical and financial resources to support the R&D of production processes or products and subsequent mass production; and Expenditure attributable to the R&D of production processes or products can be reliably measured. Other development expenditures that do not meet the conditions above are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they are incurred. Development costs previously recognised as expenses are not recognised as an asset in a subsequent period. Capitalised expenditure on the development phase is presented as development costs in the balance sheet and transferred to intangible assets at the date that the asset is ready for its intended use. (f) Impairment of intangible assets The carrying amount of intangible assets is reduced to the recoverable amount when the recoverable amount is below the carrying amount (Note 2(20)). (19) Long-term deferred expenses Long-term prepaid expenses include the expenditure for improvements to fixed assets held under operating leases, and other expenditures that have been incurred but should be recognised as expenses over more than one year in the current and subsequent periods. Long-term prepaid expenses are amortised on the straight-line basis over the expected beneficial period and are presented at actual expenditure net of accumulated amortisation. (20) Impairment of long-term assets Fixed assets, construction in progress, intangible assets with finite useful lives, investment properties measured using the cost model and long-term equity investments in subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates are tested for impairment if there is any indication that the assets may be impaired at the balance sheet date. Intangible assets not ready for their intended use are tested at least annually for impairment, irrespective of whether there is any indication that it may be impaired. If the result of the impairment test indicates that the recoverable amount of an asset is less than its carrying amount, a provision for impairment and an impairment loss are recognised for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs to sell and the present value of the future cash flows expected to be derived from the asset. Provision for asset impairment is determined and recognised on the individual asset basis. If it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the recoverable amount - 95 - 2016 Semi-Annual Report of Midea Group Co., Ltd. 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 that is separately presented in the financial statements is tested at least annually for impairment, irrespective of whether there is any indication that it may be impaired. In conducting the test, the carrying value of goodwill is allocated to the related asset groups or groups of asset groups which are expected to benefit from the synergies of the business combination. If the result of the test indicates that the recoverable amount of an asset group or group of asset groups, including the allocated goodwill, is lower than its carrying amount, the corresponding impairment loss is recognised. The impairment loss is first deducted from the carrying amount of goodwill that is allocated to the asset group or group of asset groups, and then deducted from the carrying amounts of other assets within the asset groups or groups of asset groups in proportion to the carrying amounts of assets other than goodwill. Once the above asset impairment loss is recognised, it will not be reversed for the value recovered in the subsequent periods. (21) Employee benefits Employee benefits include short-term employee benefits, post-employment benefits, termination benefits and other long-term employee benefits provided in various forms of consideration in exchange for service rendered by employees or compensations for the termination of employment relationship. (a) Short-term employee benefits Short-term employee benefits include employee wages or salaries, bonus, allowances and subsidies, staff welfare, premiums or contributions on medical insurance, work injury insurance and maternity insurance, housing funds, union running costs and employee education costs, and short-term paid absences. The employee benefit liabilities are recognised in the accounting period in which the service is rendered by the employees, with a corresponding charge to the profit or loss for the current period or the cost of relevant assets. Non-monetary benefits are measured at their fair value. (b) Post-employment benefits The Group classifies post-employment benefit plans as either defined contribution plans or defined benefit plans. Defined contribution plans are post-employment benefit plans under which the Group pays fixed contributions into a separate fund and will have no obligation to pay further contributions; and defined benefit plans are post-employment benefit plans other than defined contribution plans. During the reporting period, the Group's post-employment benefits mainly include basic pensions and unemployment insurance, both of which belong to the defined contribution plans. Basic pensions Employees of the Group participate in the defined basic pension insurance plan set up and administered by local labour and social protection authorities. Basic pensions are provided for monthly according to stipulated bases and proportions to local labour and social security institutions. When employees retire, the relevant local authorities are obliged to pay the basic pensions to them. The amounts based on the above calculations are recognised as liabilities in the accounting period in which the service has been rendered by the employees, with a corresponding charge to the profit or loss for the current period or the cost of relevant assets. (c) Termination benefits The Group provides compensation for terminating the employment relationship with employees before the end of the employment contracts or as an offer to encourage employees to accept voluntary redundancy before the end of the employment contracts. The Group recognises a liability arising from compensation for termination of the employment relationship with employees, with a corresponding charge to profit or loss at the earlier of the following dates: 1) when the Group cannot unilaterally withdraw the offer of termination benefits because of an employment termination plan or a curtailment proposal; 2) when the Group recognises costs or expenses related to the restructuring that involves the payment of termination benefits Early retirement benefits - 96 - 2016 Semi-Annual Report of Midea Group Co., Ltd. The Group offers early retirement benefits to those employees who accept early retirement arrangements. The early retirement benefits refer to the salaries and social security contributions to be paid to and for the employees who accept voluntary retirement before the normal retirement date prescribed by the State, as approved by the management. The Group pays early retirement benefits to those early retired employees from the early retirement date until normal retirement date. The Group accounts for the early retirement benefits in accordance with the treatment of termination benefits, in which the salaries and social security contributions to be paid to and for the early retired employees from the off-duty date to the normal retirement date are recognised as liabilities with a corresponding charge to the profit or loss for the current period. The differences arising from the changes in the respective actuarial assumptions of the early retirement benefits and the adjustments of benefit standards are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they occur. The termination benefits expected to be paid within one year since the balance sheet date are classified as current liabilities. (d) Defined benefit plans TLSC, a subsidiary of the Group, provides supplementary retirement benefit to the staff in addition to the insurance system required by the countries it operatesSuch benefit belongs to defined benefit plans. The defined benefit liability recognised in the balance sheet is the present value of the defined benefit obligation less the fair value of plan assets. The defined benefit obligation is calculated annually by independent actuaries using the projected unit credit method at the similar interest rates of state bonds with similar obligation term and currency. Service cost relating to supplementary retirement benefit (including current service costs, past service costs and gains or losses upon settlement) and net interest are recognised in profit or loss in the current period or related asset cost, and the changes arising from the recalculation of net liability or net assets of the defined benefit plan are recognised in other comprehensive income. (22) Financial assets sold under repurchase agreements Assets sold under agreements to repurchase at a specific future date are not derecognised from the balance sheet. The corresponding proceeds are recognised on the balance sheet under “Repurchase agreements”. The difference between the sale price and the repurchase price is treated as interest expense and is accrued over the life of the agreement using the effective interest method. (23) General reserve General reserve is the reserve appropriated from net profits to cover part of unidentified potential losses, on the basis of the estimated potential risk value of risk assets assessed by the standardised approach, which is deducted from recognised provision for impairment losses on loans. Risk assets include loans and advances, available-for-sale financial assets, long-term equity investments, deposits with banks and other financial institutions and other receivables of subsidiary engaged in financial business. (24) Dividend distribution Cash dividend is recognised as a liability for the period in which the dividend is approved by the shareholders’ meeting. (25) Provisions Provisions for product warranties, onerous contracts etc. are recognised when the Group has a present obligation, it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation, and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. A provision is initially measured at the best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the related present obligation. Factors surrounding a contingency, such as the risks, uncertainties and the time value of money, are taken into account as a whole in reaching the best estimate of a provision. Where the effect of the time value of money is material, the best estimate is determined by discounting the - 97 - 2016 Semi-Annual Report of Midea Group Co., Ltd. related future cash outflows. The increase in the discounted amount of the provision arising from passage of time is recognised as interest expense. The carrying amount of provisions is reviewed at each balance sheet date and adjusted to reflect the current best estimate. (26) Share-based payment (a) Type of share-based payment Share-based payment is a transaction in which the entity acquires services from employees as consideration for equity instruments of the entity or by incurring liabilities for amounts based on the equity instruments. Equity instruments include equity instruments of the Company, its parent company or other accounting entities of the Group. Share-based payments are divided into equity-settled and cash-settled payments. The Group’s share-based payments are equity-settled payments. Equity-settled share-based payment The Group’s share option plan is the equity-settled share-based payment in exchange of employees' services and is measured at the fair value of the equity instruments at grant date. The equity instruments are exercisable after services in vesting period are completed or specified performance conditions are met. In the vesting period, the services obtained in current period are included in relevant cost and expenses at the fair value of the equity instruments at grant date based on the best estimate of the number of exercisable equity instruments, and capital surplus is increased accordingly. If the subsequent information indicates the number of exercisable equity instruments differs from the previous estimate, an adjustment is made and, on the exercise date, the estimate is revised to equal the number of actual vested equity instruments. On the exercise date, the recognised amount calculated based on the number of exercised equity instruments is transferred into share capital. (b) Determination of the fair value of equity instruments The Group determines the fair value of share options using option pricing model, which is Black - Scholes option pricing model. (c) Basis for determining best estimate of exercisable equity instruments At the end of each balance sheet date in the vesting period, the Group revises its estimates of the number of options that are expected to vest based on the best estimate taking into consideration of subsequent information newly acquired, such as change in number of exercisable employees. On the exercise date, the final number of estimated exercisable equity instruments is consistent with the number of exercised equity instruments. (d) Accounting treatment related to the exercise of share options On the exercise date, the Group recognises share capital and share premium based on the actual exercise. At the same time, capital surplus recognised in the vesting period are carried forward. (27) Revenue The amount of revenue is determined in accordance with the fair value of the consideration received or receivable for the sales of goods and services in the ordinary course of the Group’s activities. Revenue is shown net of discounts, rebates and returns. Revenue is recognised when the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the Group, the related revenue can be reliably measured, and the specific revenue recognition criteria have been met for each type of the Group’s activities as described below: (a) Sales of goods The Group are principally engaged in the manufacturing and sales of home appliances and mechanical and electrical products (namely large household appliances, small household appliances and motors). - 98 - 2016 Semi-Annual Report of Midea Group Co., Ltd. Revenue from domestic sales is recognised when 1) the goods are delivered to buyers by the Group pursuant to contracts; 2) the amount of revenue is confirmed; 3) payments for goods are collected or receipts are acquired; and 4) the related economic benefits will flow to the Group; and the related costs can be measured reliably. Upon confirming the acceptance, the buyer has the right to sell the products at its discretion and takes the risks of any price fluctuations and obsolescence and loss of the products. Revenue from overseas sales is recognised when 1) the goods have left the port and obtain the bill of lading pursuant to contracts; 2) the amount of revenue is confirmed; 3) payments for goods are collected or obtain related receipts; and 4) the related economic benefits will flow to the Group and the related costs can be measured reliably. (b) Rendering of services Revenue from transportation service, storage service and distribution service as provided by the Group is recognised when the services are completed. (c) Interest income Interest income from financial instruments is calculated by effective interest method and recognised in profit or loss for the current period. Interest income comprises premiums or discounts, or the amortisation based on effective rates of other difference between the initial carrying amount and the due amount of interest-earning assets. The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial asset or liability and the interest income or expense based on effective rates. Actual interest rate is the rate at which the estimated future cash flows during the period of expected duration of the financial instruments or applicable shorter period are discounted to the current carrying amount of the financial instruments. When calculating the effective interest rate, the Group estimates cash flows by considering all contractual terms of the financial instrument (e.g. early repayment options, similar options, etc.), but without considering future credit losses. The calculation includes all fees and interest paid or received that are an integral part of the effective interest rate, transaction costs, and all other premiums or discounts. Interest income from impaired financial assets is calculated at the interest rate that is used for discounting estimated future cash flow when measuring the impairment loss. (d) Dividend income Dividend income is recognised when the right to receive dividend payment is established. (e) Rental income Rental income from investment prosperities is recognised in the income statement on a straight-line basis over the lease period. (f) Fee and commission income Fee and commission income is recognised in profit or loss for the current period when the service is provided. The Group defers the initial charge income or commitment fee income arising from the forming or acquisition of financial assets as the adjustment to effective interest rate. If the loans are not lent when the loan commitment period is expired, related charges are recognised as fee and commission income. - 99 - 2016 Semi-Annual Report of Midea Group Co., Ltd. (28) Government grants Government grants are transfers of monetary or non-monetary assets from the government to the Group at nil consideration, including refund of taxes and financial subsidies, etc. A government grant is recognised when the conditions attached to it can be complied with and the government grant can be received. For a government grant in the form of transfer of monetary assets, the grant is measured at the amount received or receivable. For a government grant in the form of transfer of non-monetary assets, it is measured at fair value; if the fair value is not reliably determinable, the grant is measured at nominal amount. Government grants related to assets are grants that are acquired by an enterprise and used for acquisition, construction or forming long-term assets in other ways. Government grants related to income are government grants other than government grants related to assets. A government grant related to an asset is recognised as deferred income, and evenly amortised to profit or loss over the useful life of the related asset. Government grants measured at nominal amounts are recognised immediately in profit or loss for the current period. For government grants related to income, where the grant is a compensation for related expenses or losses to be incurred by the Group in the subsequent periods, the grant is recognised as deferred income, and included in profit or loss over the periods in which the related costs are recognised; where the grant is a compensation for related expenses or losses already incurred by the Group, the grant is recognised immediately in profit or loss for the current period. (29) Deferred income tax assets and deferred income tax liabilities Deferred income tax assets and deferred income tax liabilities are calculated and recognised based on the differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts (temporary differences). Deferred income tax asset is recognised for the tax losses that can be carried forward to subsequent years for deduction of the taxable profit in accordance with the tax laws. No deferred t income tax liability is recognised for a temporary difference arising from the initial recognition of goodwill. No deferred income tax asset or deferred income tax liability is recognised for the temporary differences resulting from the initial recognition of assets or liabilities due to a transaction other than a business combination, which affects neither accounting profit nor taxable profit (or deductible tax loss). At the balance sheet date, deferred income tax assets and deferred income tax liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realised or the liability is settled. Deferred income tax assets are only recognised for deductible temporary differences, deductible tax losses and tax credits to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available in the future against which the deductible temporary differences, tax losses and tax credits can be utilised. Deferred income tax liabilities are recognised for temporary differences arising from investments in subsidiaries, associates and a joint venture, except where the Group is able to control the timing of reversal of the temporary difference, and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future. When it is probable that the temporary differences arising from investments in subsidiaries, associates and a joint venture will be reversed in the foreseeable future and that the taxable profit will be available in the future against which the temporary differences can be utilised, the corresponding deferred income tax assets are recognised. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are offset when: - 100 - 2016 Semi-Annual Report of Midea Group Co., Ltd. The deferred income taxes are related to the same tax payer within the Group and the same taxation authority; and, That tax payer within the Group has a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets against current tax liabilities. (30) Leases (a) Operating leases Rental expenses for assets held under operating leases are recognised as the cost of relevant assets or expenses on a straight-line basis over the lease period. Contingent rentals are recognised as profit and loss for the current period when incurred. Fixed assets leased out under operating leases, other than investment prosperities (Note 2(14)), are depreciated in accordance with the depreciation policy stated in Note 2(15)(b) and provided for impairment loss in accordance with the policy stated in Note 2(20). Rental income from operating leases is recognised as revenue on a straight-line basis over the lease period. Initial direct costs in large amount arising from assets leased out under operating leases are capitalised when incurred and recognised as profit and loss for the current period over the lease period on a same basis with revenue recognition; initial direct costs in small amount are directly recognised as profit and loss for the current period. Contingent rentals are recognised as profit and loss for the current period when incurred. (b) Finance leases The leased asset is recognised at the lower of the fair value of the leased asset and the present value of the minimum lease payments. The difference between the recognised amount of the leased asset and the minimum lease payments is accounted for as unrecognised finance charge and is amortised using effective interest method over the period of the lease. A long-term payable is recorded at the amount equal to the minimum lease payments less the unrecognised finance charge. (31) Segment information The Group identifies operating segments based on the internal organisation structure, management requirements and internal reporting system, and discloses segment information of reportable segments which is determined on the basis of operating segments. An operating segment is a component of the Group that satisfies all of the following conditions: (1) the component is able to earn revenue and incur expenses from its ordinary activities; (2) whose operating results are regularly reviewed by the Group’s management to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and to assess its performance, and (3) for which the information on financial position, operating results and cash flows is available to the Group. If two or more operating segments have similar economic characteristics and satisfy certain conditions, they are aggregated into one single operating segment. (32) Critical accounting estimates and judgements The Group continually evaluates the critical accounting estimates and key judgements applied based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable. - 101 - 2016 Semi-Annual Report of Midea Group Co., Ltd. (a) Critical accounting estimates and key assumptions The critical accounting estimates and key assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next accounting year are outlined below: (i) Income taxes The Group is subject to income taxes in numerous jurisdictions. There are many transactions and events for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain during the ordinary course of business. Significant judgement is required from the Group in determining the provision for income taxes in each of these jurisdictions. Where the final tax outcome of these matters is different from the amounts that were initially recorded, such differences will impact the income tax and deferred income tax provisions in the period in which such determination is made. (ii) Provision for impairment of goodwill The Group tests annually goodwill for impairment. The recoverable amount of asset groups inclusive of goodwill is the present value of the future cash flows expected to be derived from them. These calculations require use of estimates. If management revises the gross margin that is used in the calculation of the future cash flows of asset groups, and the revised gross margin is lower than the one currently used, the Group would need to recognise further impairment against goodwill. If management revises the pre-tax discount rate applied to the discounted cash flows, and the revised pre-tax discount rate is higher than the one currently applied, the Group would need to recognise further impairment against goodwill. If the actual gross margin/pre-tax discount rate is higher/lower than management’s estimates, the impairment loss of goodwill previously provided for is not allowed to be reversed by the Group. (iii) Provisions for sales rebates, installation expenses and maintenance expenses. The relevant expenditures, including sales rebates to the buyers, product installation expenses and maintenance expenses during the warranty period, are accrued when the Group recognises revenue from sales of products. The provisions for such expenditures involve management's judgements and estimates, the key factors mainly include the buyers' completion of agreed performance indicators, the unit historical and expected installation costs of products, the expected claim rate for maintenance, market conditions and the stock level kept in sale channel. The estimation basis is reviewed on an on-going basis and revised where appropriate. When the actual outcome or expectation in the future is different from the original estimate, such differences will impact the carrying amount of the provisions and the provision amount charged/reversed in the period in which such estimate has been changed. (iv) Fair value of financial instruments The fair value of a financial instrument that is not traded in an active market is determined by using a valuation technique. Valuation techniques include discounted cash flow model analysis, etc. The Group makes estimates in terms of future cash flow, credit risk, market volatility and correlation for valuation. These estimates are uncertain and changes in them will impact the fair value of financial instruments. - 102 - 2016 Semi-Annual Report of Midea Group Co., Ltd. (v) Supplementary retirement benefit for retired staff The Group assumes supplementary retirement benefit for retired staff, i.e. the liability of defined benefit plans, the present value of which is depended on multiple actuarial assumptions, including discount rate. Any changes in such assumptions will affect the carrying amount of liability of defined benefit plans. The Group will re-evaluate the discount rate adopt for calculating the present value of liability of defined benefit plans each year. When re-evaluating, the Group refers to interest rates of state bonds with similar currency and payment term used for the payment of supplementary benefit for retired staff in the future. 3 Taxation (1) Main tax category and rate Category Tax base Tax rate 5%, 12.5%, 15%, Corporate income tax 16.5%, 17%, 20%, (a) Levied based on taxable income 25%, 31.5% or 34% Taxable value-added amount (Tax payable is calculated using the taxable sales amount Value-added tax multiplied by the applicable tax rate less 3%, 5%, 6%, 11% or (VAT) deductible VAT input of the current period) 17% City maintenance and construction tax The amount of VAT paid 5% or 7% Educational surcharge The amount of VAT paid 3% or 5% Local education surcharge The amount of VAT paid 2% Price-based property is subject to a 1.2% tax rate after a 30% cut in the original price of property.

Buildings and machinery and equipment are mainly appraised with cost approach, which uses the current replacement cost excluding wastage to determine the value of evaluated assets, with basic calculation formula of evaluated equipment value equalling the total price times comprehensive newness rate. Part of calculation results should be reviewed in conjunction with market approach. Intangible assets (trademarks and patents) are mainly evaluated with license fee saving approach, which uses the appropriate discount rate to discount the saved license fee arising from the right to use related assets each year over the remaining using period of trademarks/patents, to arrive at the present value on base date of assets evaluation. The main assumptions applied in calculation of discounted future cash flows of trademarks and patents are as follows: Item 2017 2018 2019 to 2025 Growth rate 10% 16% 1% to 5% Gross margin 22% 24% 24% Discount rate 8.5% 8.5% 8.5% (2) Changes in consolidation scope due to other reasons (a) Increase of consolidation scope - 130 - 2016 Semi-Annual Report of Midea Group Co., Ltd.

As at the reporting date, such transaction still needs regular anti-monopoly review, and it is estimated to be completed before end of year. 14 Leases The Group leases in certain fixed assets under finance leases. The future minimum lease payments of the finance leases are summarised in the following table: Ending balance Within 1 year 113,718 Over 1 year 583,864 697,582 At end of period, the balance of unrecognised financing charge amounts to RMB62,106,000. 15 Financial risk The Group is exposed to various financial risks in the ordinary course of business, mainly including Foreign exchange risk Interest rate risk Credit risk Liquidity risk The following mainly relates to the above risk exposures and relevant causes, objectives, policies and process of risk management and method of risk measurement, etc. The objective of the Group's risk management is to seek balance between risk and income, minimising the adverse impact of financial risks on the Group's financial performance. Pursuant to the risk management objective, the Group has made risk management policies to identify and analyse the risks it is exposed to and set appropriate risk resistant level and design relevant internal control procedures to monitor the Group’s risk level. The Group reviews regularly these risk management policies and relevant internal control systems to adapt to changes in market condition or its operating activities. (1) Market risk (a) Foreign exchange risk The Group’s major operational activities are carried out in Mainland China and a majority of the transactions are denominated in RMB. The Group is exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from the recognised assets and liabilities, and future transactions denominated in foreign - 142 - 2016 Semi-Annual Report of Midea Group Co., Ltd. currencies, primarily with respect to US dollars. The Group’s finance department at its headquarters is responsible for monitoring the amount of assets and liabilities, and transactions denominated in foreign currencies to minimise the foreign exchange risk. Therefore, the Group enters into forward exchange contracts or currency swap contracts to mitigate the foreign exchange risk. (b) Interest rate risk The Group's interest rate risk arises from interest bearing borrowings including long-term borrowings and debentures payable. Financial liabilities issued at floating rates expose the Group to cash flow interest rate risk. Financial liabilities issued at fixed rates expose the Group to fair value interest rate risk. The Group determines the relative proportions of its fixed rate and floating rate contracts depending on the prevailing market conditions. The Group’s finance department at its headquarters continuously monitors the interest rate position of the Group. Increases in interest rates will increase the cost of new borrowing and the interest expenses with respect to the Group’s outstanding floating rate borrowings, and therefore could have a material adverse effect on the Group’s financial position. The Group makes adjustments timely with reference to the latest market conditions and may enter into interest rate swap agreements to mitigate its exposure to interest rate risk. As at 30 June 2016, if interest rates on the floating rate borrowings had risen or fallen by 50 basis points while all other variables had been held constant, the Group’s net profit would have decreased or increased by approximately RMB11,205,000. (2) Credit risk Credit risk is managed on the grouping basis. Credit risk mainly arise from cash at bank, deposits with central bank, deposits with banks and other financial institutions, notes receivable, accounts receivable, interest receivable, loans and advances, other receivables and other structural deposits in current assets. The Group expects that there is no significant credit risk associated with cash at bank, deposits with central bank and deposits with banks and other financial institutions since they are deposited at state-owned banks and other medium or large size listed banks. Management does not expect that there will be any significant losses from non-performance by these counterparties. In addition, the Group has policies to limit the credit exposure on notes receivable, accounts receivable, interest receivable, loans and advances, other receivables and other structural deposits in current assets. The Group assesses the credit quality of and sets credit limits on its customers by taking into account their financial position, the availability of guarantee from third parties, their credit history and other factors such as current market conditions. The credit history of the customers is regularly monitored by the Group. In respect of customers with a poor credit history, the Group will use written payment reminders, or shorten or cancel credit periods, to ensure the overall credit risk of the Group is limited to a controllable extent. (3) Liquidity risk Cash flow forecasting is performed by each subsidiary of the Group and aggregated by the Group’s finance department in its headquarters. The Group’s finance department at its headquarters monitors rolling forecasts of the Group's short-term and long-term liquidity requirements to ensure it has sufficient cash and securities that are readily convertible to cash to meet operational needs, while maintaining sufficient headroom on its undrawn committed borrowing facilities from major financial institutions so that the Group does not breach borrowing limits or covenants on any of its borrowing facilities to meet the short-term and long-term liquidity requirements. The financial liabilities of the Group at the balance sheet date are analysed by their maturity date below at their undiscounted contractual cash follows: - 143 - 2016 Semi-Annual Report of Midea Group Co., Ltd.

Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included within level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 3: Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. (1) Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis As at 30 June 2016, the assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis by the above three levels are analysed below: Fair value at end of period Item Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss - derivative financial assets - 7,366 - 7,366 Available-for-sale financial assets - other current assets - wealth management products purchased from financial institutions - - 26,786,165 26,786,165 Available-for-sale financial assets - other non-current assets - wealth management products purchased from financial institutions - - 4,432,900 4,432,900 Available-for-sale financial assets 4,254,812 - - 4,254,812 Total assets 4,254,812 7,366 31,219,065 35,481,243 Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss - derivative financial liabilities - 463,180 - 463,180 - 144 - 2016 Semi-Annual Report of Midea Group Co., Ltd. The Group takes the date on which events causing the transfers between the levels take place as the timing specific for recognising the transfers. In current year, there was no significant transfer of fair value measurement level of the above financial instruments. The fair value of financial instruments traded in an active market is determined at the quoted market price; and the fair value of those not traded in an active market is determined by the Group using valuation technique. The valuation models used mainly primarily comprise discounted cash flow model and market comparable corporate model. Inputs of valuation technique mainly comprise risk-free interest rate, estimated interest rate and estimated annual yield. There is no change in the valuation technique for the fair value of the Group’s financial instruments in current year.

(2) Assets and liabilities not measured at fair value but disclosed The Group's financial assets and financial liabilities measured at amortised cost mainly include: cash at bank and on hand, deposits with central bank, deposits with banks and other financial institutions, notes receivable, accounts receivable, loans and advances, other receivables, other current assets (excluding those mentioned in Note 15(1)), accounts payable, notes payable, short-term borrowings, long-term borrowings, customer deposits and deposits from banks and other financial institutions, financial assets sold under repurchase agreements, interest payable and other current liabilities, etc. Carrying amounts of the Group’s financial assets and financial liabilities as at 30 June 2016 and 31 December 2015 approximate their fair value. 17 Capital management The Group’s capital management policies aim to safeguard the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern in order to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders, and to maintain an optimal capital structure to reduce the cost of capital.
