According to the Industry Categorization Guide for Listed Companies (Revised in 2012) issued by the CSRC, baijiu making belongs to the “liquor, beverage and refined tea making industry" (C15). The Company’s principal operations remained unchanged in the Reporting Period. (II) Status of the Industry and Position of the Company in the Industry 1. Status of the Baijiu Industry Since the beginning of the 21st century, China's baijiu industry has experienced three development stages. Before 2012, with rapid economic growth, the income of urban and rural residents rose fast, and the demand for baijiu continued to increase, while production and sales of baijiu continuously expanded at a fast pace. As a result, the baijiu industry witnessed booming supply and demand. During that period, national baijiu brands and local regional renowned baijiu enterprises achieved rapid development. In the context of the rise in both the demand and price of baijiu, the sales income and total profits of baijiu enterprises increased quickly. From the second half of 2012 to 2016, China's economy once again entered a period of adjustment, as the Chinese government introduced a string of policies to restrict the spending on official overseas visits, official vehicles and official hospitality, such as the "Eight-point Decision" and "Six Prohibitions", which include restrictions on the consumption of high-end alcohol with public funds. Consumption scenarios such as commercial consumption and government consumption were limited, leading to a drop in consumer demand in a short time. Moreover, baijiu prices were under huge pressure. China's baijiu industry entered a period of profound adjustment. After 2012, both the output growth and income growth of China's baijiu industry slowed down. The baijiu industry began to recover in the second half of 2016, with a rise in consumption demand by end-users, propelling the growth of the overall income and profits of the industry. Since 2017, the overall demand and price of baijiu have increased, and the recovery of mid- and high-end baijiu has picked up. In the future, benefiting from the consumption upgrade and the change of consumption concept, the growth of sub-high-end baijiu will be the key driver for the development of the baijiu industry. The consumption upgrade is the major driving force for the development of the baijiu industry. Baijiu enterprises need to fully grasp the great opportunities from the extensive consumption upgrade and strive to better meet the consumption needs of the market through quality improvement, market segmentation and product innovation and other means, so as to advance the transformation and upgrade of the product structure. In 2022, the total output of alcoholic beverage made and brewed by domestic enterprises above the designated size in the alcoholic beverage industry reached 54,275,000 kilolitres, increasing by 0.8% year on year. Specifically, the output of baijiu by domestic enterprises above the designated size totaled 6,712,000 kilolitres, decreasing by 5.6% year on year. With the acceleration of consumption upgrading, a trend of consumption upgrading for Chinese residents that advocates “drinking less but better liquor” gradually appears. During the period of the 14th Five-year Plan, the consumption growth of sub-high-end baijiu will bring more fierce competition in the sector of high-end baijiu. 2. Position of the Company in the Industry China has a long history of baijiu. There are a large number of baijiu production enterprises in the country, but the regional distribution of baijiu consumers is particularly evident. The baijiu industry is characterized by full competition, with a high degree of marketization. The market competition is fierce, and the industry adjustments are constantly deepening. In the national market, the competitive edges of the enterprises come from their brand influence, product style and marketing & operation models. In a single regional market, the competitive strengths of the enterprises depend on their brand influence in the region, the recognition of the 11 Annual Report 2022 companies by regional consumers and comprehensive marketing capacity. As one of China’s traditional top eight liquor brands, the Company is the first listed baijiu company with both A and B stocks. It is located in Bozhou City, Anhui Province in China, the hometown of historic figures Cao Cao and Hua Tuo, as well as one of the world’s top 10 liquor-producing areas. No changes have occurred to the main business of the Company in the Reporting Period. As the main product of the Company, the Gujing spirit originated as a “JiuYunChun Spirit”, together with its making secrets, being presented as a hometown specialty by Cao Cao, a famous warlord in China’s history, to Emperor Han Xiandi (name: Liu Xie) in A.D. 196, and was continually presented to the royal house since then. With crystalline liquid, rich aroma, a fine flavor and a lingering aftertaste, the Gujing spirit has helped the Company win four national baijiu golden awards, a golden award at the 13th SIAL Paris, the title of China’s “Geographical Indication Product”, the recognition as a “Key Cultural Relics Site under the State Protection”, the recognition with a “National Intangible Cultural Heritage Protection Project”, a Quality Award from the Anhui provincial government, a title of “National Quality Benchmark”, among other honors. In 2022, “Gujinggong” was ranked fourth in China's baijiu industry with a brand value of RMB227.027 billion in the 14th "Hua Zun Cup" China liquor brand value contest. In April 2016, Gujing Distillery signed a strategic cooperation agreement with Huanghelou Liquor Co., Ltd., opening a new era of cooperation in China's famous liquor industry. Yellow Crane Tower Baijiu is the only famous Chinese liquor in Hubei. Its unique style is "soft, mellow, elegant and cool, and has a long lingering fragrance". It won the two China gold medal in baijiu appreciation in 1984 and 1989. At present, Huanghelou liquor industry has three bases: Wuhan, Xianning and Suizhou. Among them, Huanghelou Liquor Culture Expo Park in Wuhan base has been approved as national AAA scenic spot, and Huanghelou forest wine town in Xianning base has been approved as national AAAA scenic spot. In January 2021, Gujing Distillery and Mingguang signed a strategic cooperation agreement. The unique mung bean flavor adds to the famous liquor family of Gu Jing. The primary products of Mingguang Distillery include Mingguang Jianiang, Mingguang Daqu, Mingguang Youye, Mingguang Tequ, and 53% vol Mingluye. In December 2021, the Old Mingguang Brewing Technique was selected for the sixth batch of provincial intangible cultural heritage list.

IV Analysis of Core Businesses 1. Overview 2022 was an extraordinary year, as well as a particularly difficult year. In the face of a complex external environment and increasingly fierce competition in the industry, the Company continued to follow the guidance of Mr. Xi Jinping’s Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era, thoroughly implemented the guiding principles of the various sessions of the 19th CPC Central Committee and the 20th CPC National Congress, as well as the guiding principles of the provincial and municipal Party congresses, implemented the new concept for development, centered on the annual objectives of the Company, and adhered to long-term perspective mindset, the concept of excellence, and the awareness of high-quality products. The Company strengthened its foundations, improved development quality and operational efficiency, and sought faster growth in stability. As a result, it has successfully accomplished various objectives and tasks. For 2022, the Company recorded operating revenue of RMB16.713 billion, up 25.95% compared to the prior year; a net profit attributable to the Company as the parent of RMB3.143 billion, increasing 36.78% from the year earlier; and earnings per share of RMB5.95, 33.71% higher than last year. In the 14th "Hua Zun Cup" China liquor brand value contest, the brand value of "Gujinggong" reached a record high of RMB227.027 billion. The overall operating performance of the Company in the Reporting Period: (I) The Company strengthened market development and promoted brand influence With adherence to the nationwide, sub-high-end, and “Gu 20+” development strategy, the Company adopted the implementation route of “position occupation, market consolidation and customer acquisition” to accelerate its advancement toward the whole country and expansion in markets outside the base province, as well as to continuously improve its product structure. Moreover, with adherence to the communication strategy of “striving for influential brands, spiking hard from a high position and concentrating resources”, the Company promoted brand coordination and communication innovation, so that its brand influence increased gradually. (II) The Company sought higher “quality” of baijiu products The Company improved its expression system of the quality of baijiu and issued “Gujinggong Liquor- Original Vintage” Quality Control Outline. As the Company officially put the first “transparent factory” in the industry into operation, its development regarding the “enterprise-university-research-management-user integration” was deepened. By continuously optimizing liquor-making processes, the Company comprehensively implemented the standardized production of liquor. (III) The Company consolidated the foundations for quality with technology By comprehensively implementing the farming of unprocessed grains in the Company’s unprocessed grain base, the Company provided a firm guarantee for “quality liquor-making”. Furthermore, by completing the implementation of the new national standard for baijiu with high quality and efficiency, stricter management was comprehensively conducted throughout the Company and the Company undertook its entity responsibilities for food security more thoroughly. Moreover, the Company continued to explore new ideas of how to process the by-products of liquor-making. As a result, the Company owned nine invention patents and 62 authorized 15 Annual Report 2022 patents for utility models. Additionally, multiple technological innovation results of the Company reached the international or domestic leading level and were converted into applications by the Company. (IV) The Company continued to promote digital development based on the business-oriented approach The Company comprehensively initiated digital transformation, as its informatized framework was completed, the state of being an isolated information island was altered and its business processes was optimized. Meanwhile, the Company centred on smart manufacturing and green liquor making, set up an Internet platform for the baijiu industry, built a lighthouse factory, and promoted the digital transformation of Gujing to a new level. The Company also made efforts to develop scenario-based applications, so as to empower business and achieve automated lean management. Moreover, the Company made rapid progress in the dual-platform development of the Industrial Internet of Things, namely the procurement and logistics platform, so as to provide an open and shared centralized procurement platform for downstream enterprises in the industry chain and contribute to the local economic development. As a result, the Company’s digital practice was successfully included in the Demonstration List of Pilot Practices of Integrated Development in the Next-generational Information Technology and Manufacturing Industry and won the 2022 Dingge Award. (V) The Company accelerated transformation and upgrading while continuously optimizing business management The Company relied on law-based measures to promote modern business management. By continuously enhancing internal risk control, the Company strengthened compliance management. Meanwhile, the Company implemented the three-year action plan for the reform of state-owned enterprises to promote the innovation of mechanisms and systems. Moreover, by implementing the mechanism of open post competition for front-line and middle-level managers, the Company extensively activated its talent vitality. Additionally, as its internal control system was further improved, the objective of “four zeros” in production safety was achieved. (VI) The Company conducted more in-depth and practical cultural development by unwaveringly following the guidance of Party building The Company thoroughly conducted learning and publicity of the spirit of the 20th National Congress of the CPC, comprehensively implemented the Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era, and carried out regular learning of the Party history. The Company also continued to deepen conduct improvement. Meanwhile, the Company promoted ideological management in accordance with the relevant requirements, formulated a grid-based pattern of ideological publicity work and promoted the in-depth integration of Party building and production & operation. (VII) In the Reporting Period, the Company was still under pressure and had deficiencies as follows. (1) The brand-based driving effect was not as strong as those of first-tier reputed liquor brands.

Notes to main controlled and joint stock companies: Not applicable. 36 Annual Report 2022 X Structured Bodies Controlled by the Company □ Applicable Not applicable XI Prospects (I) Development Prospect of the Industry the Company is in 1. The industry is seeking steady progress with a clear trend of consumption recovery With the gradual recovery of the economy and consumption, consumption upgrading will remain to be the long-term trend of the baijiu industry. In 2023, the consumption scenarios and willingness are expected to gradually recover. With a clear trend of consumption recovery, the overall pattern of a weak effect on driving sales and the slow recovery of consumption is improving in an accelerating manner. From the perspective of the recovery route, the recovery may be accelerated the decelerated. The fundamental of the baijiu industry will show a trend of QoQ improvements after reaching the bottom around the Spring Festival. In 2023, liquor producers are expected to maintain a steadily accelerating growth of their general performance, and seeking steady progress will still be the most significant pattern of their development. 2. A brand-guided pattern has been formed with increased industrial concentration In the context of the increasingly fierce market competition, the baijiu market gradually becomes more and more segmented. As the development trend of concentration in “advantageous brands, production capacity and production areas” remains, a part of enterprises have relied on their advantages in brands, channels and capital to form a relatively stable leading market. In 2023, the trend of “the strong is always strong and the weak becomes weaker” may become more obvious in the liquor industry. As leading liquor producers are quite likely to achieve a growth in performance of more than 10%, the segmentation of the market shares of second-tier brands and regional liquor producers will become more aggravated. 3. The baijiu industry is advancing toward high-quality development with the release of its production capacity “Production expansion” is arguably an important keyword for the baijiu industry. In 2022, multiple liquor producers announced to conduct production expansion. Different from previous situations, this round of production expansion is mainly concentrated on famous liquor brands and representative liquor products. It is more driven by the pursuit of quality base liquor for vintage or aged liquor and is a pre-emptive action for brand competition in the sub-high-end and high-end liquor markets. It not only blows the horn for the advancement of the domestic baijiu industry on the path of high-quality and sustainable development, but also indicates that the production capacity should be released to respond to the new situation after the pandemic. Therefore, the release of the production capacity of leading liquor producers will be an important orientation of the development of the liquor industry in 2023. 4. Industrial upgrading makes the trend of digitalization more and more obvious The fourth industrial revolution represented by digitalization and intelligentialization has triggered reshuffle in many industries and put forward new topics of development for the traditional baijiu-making industry. With the continuous upgrading of consumer demand and the aggravation of competition in the domestic baijiu market, digital transformation is helping liquor producers enhance their core competitiveness. Externally, the online-offline closed loop of traffic provides consumers with an omni-channel shopping experience, as the penetration in various digital channels, such as e-commerce, O2O, live streaming, and community group purchases, is increasing. Internally, lean management of all processes of operation based on digital platforms has been conducted to continuously reduce operation costs and improve operation efficiency.

Opinion We have audited the financial statements of Anhui Gujing Distillery Co., Ltd. (hereafter referred to as “Anhui Gujing”), which comprises the consolidated and the parent company’s statement of financial position as at 31 December 2022, the consolidated and the parent company’s statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, the consolidated and the parent company’s statement of cash flows, the consolidated and the parent company’s statement of changes in equity for the year then ended, and the notes to the financial statements. In our opinion, the accompanying Anhui Gujing’s financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated and the company’s financial position as at 31 December 2022 and of their financial performance and cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises. II. Basis for Opinion We conducted our audit in accordance with Chinese Standards on Auditing (CSAs). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of Anhui Gujing in accordance with the Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants of the Chinese Institute of Certified Public Accountants, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities. We believe that the audit evidence we obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. III. Key Audit Matters Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of the most significance in our audit of the financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial statements as a whole, and informing our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. (I) Revenue recognition 1. Description Refer to notes to the consolidated financial statements "3. 27. Revenue" and "5. 38. Revenue and Cost of Sales ". In 2022, the Company achieved revenue of RMB16.713 billion, an increase of 25.95% compared with the same period in 2021. As revenue is one of the key performance indicators of the company, there may be the risk of material misstatement in whether the revenue is recognized in an appropriate accounting period. Therefore, we regard revenue recognition as a key audit matter. 85 Annual Report 2022 2. Audit response Our procedures for revenue recognition include: (1) Understand the internal control process design related to the sales business, and execute the walk-through test, perform the control test on the identified key control points; (2) Interview with the management, check the samples of sales contract, analyze the significant risk and reward transferring point related to revenue recognition of baijiu sales, and then evaluate whether the company's sales revenue recognition policy is reasonable; (3) Sampling inspection of supporting documents related to baijiu sales revenue recognition, including sales orders, sales invoices, outbound orders, etc.; (4) Compared with the baijiu sales data of other enterprises in the same industry, compared the liquor sales data of the last period with the current period, analyzed the overall rationality of revenue and gross margin; (5) For the baijiu sales revenue recognized before and after the balance sheet date, select samples to check the sales orders, sales invoices, outbound orders, etc., in order to evaluate whether the sales revenue is recorded in an appropriate accounting period; (6) Confirm the amount of baijiu sold and the closing balance of the advance payment to the main distributor by sending confirmation letter. (II) Accuracy of inventory balances 1. Description Refer to notes to the consolidated financial statements "3 12. Inventory" and "5. 7. Inventory". Anhui Gujing has a large inventory balance and needs to maintain an appropriate level of inventory to meet future market or production demand. The inventory balance accounts for 20.34% of the Company's total assets, and most of the inventory is semi-finished products and work in progress products. As the most important asset of baijiu production enterprises, inventory has a high balance at the end of the year and a large proportion of the total assets. Therefore, we regard the accuracy of the Company's inventory balance as a key audit matter. 2. Audit response Our procedures for the accuracy of inventory balances include: (1) Understand the internal control process design related to inventory business, and carry out walk-through test, carry out control tests for identified key control points; (2) Obtain the stocktaking plan and stocktaking results of the company, understand the stocktaking methods and review procedures of the company, and supervise the stocktaking; (3) Understand the company's inventory cost accounting method, select several months of cost calculation sheet to review, and select the main categories of inventory to carry out valuation test; (4) To understand the provision method of the company's inventory impairment, evaluate the appropriateness of the provision method, and review whether the provision amount is correct; (5) Perform analytical procedures and compare with companies in the same industry. IV. Other information Management of Anhui Gujing is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Annual Report of Anhui Gujing for the year of 2022, but does not include the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider 86 Annual Report 2022 whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard. V. Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Financial Statements Management of Anhui Gujing is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with Accounting Standards of Business Enterprises, and for the design, implementation and maintenance of such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In preparing the financial statements, management is responsible for assessing Anhui Gujing’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate Anhui Gujing or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so. Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing Anhui Gujing’s financial reporting process. VI. Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements Our Objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with CSAs will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements. As part of an audit in accordance with CSAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also: 1. Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. 2. Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances. 3. Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management. 4. Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on Anhui Gujing’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause Anhui Gujing to cease to continue as a going concern. 5. Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation. 6. Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within Anhui Gujing to express an opinion on the financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion. We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit. 87 Annual Report 2022 We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards. From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

Note 2 Basis of preparation for the financial statements 2.1 Basis of preparation Based on going concern, according to actually occurred transactions and events, the Company prepares its financial statements in accordance with the Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises – Basic standards and concrete accounting standards, Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises – Application Guidelines, Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises – Interpretations and other relevant provisions (collectively known as “Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises” or ASBE(s)). At the same time, the Company discloses relevant financial information in accordance with Disclosure Rule for Companies with Publicly Traded Securities No. 15 – General Provisions for Financial Statements (Revised in 2014) issued by the CSRC. 2.2 Going concern The Company has assessed its ability to continually operate for the next twelve months from the end of the reporting period, and no any matters that may result in doubt on its ability as a going concern were noted. Therefore, it is reasonable for the Company to prepare financial statements on the going concern basis. Note 3 Significant account policies and accounting estimates 15 Anhui Gujing Distillery Company Limited Notes to the Financial Statements The following significant accounting policies and accounting estimates of the Company are formulated in accordance with the Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises. Businesses not mentioned are complied with relevant accounting policies of the Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises. 3.1 Statement of compliance with the Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises The Company prepares its financial statements in accordance with the requirements of the Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises, truly and completely reflecting the Company’s financial position as at 31 December 2022, and its operating results, changes in shareholders' equity, cash flows and other related information for the year then ended. 3.2 Accounting period The accounting year of the Company is from January 1 to December 31 in calendar year. 3.3 Operating cycle The normal operating cycle of the Company is twelve months. 3.4 Functional currency The functional currency of the Company is CNY Yuan. An Overseas subsidiary (or branch) uses the currency prominent in its business activities as its functional currency. 3.5 Business combination under common control and business combination not under common contorl 3.5.1 Business combination under common control The assets and liabilities that the Company obtains in a business combination under common control are measured at their carrying amounts as consolidated in the ultimate controller’s consolidated statement of financial position at the combination date. If the accounting policy adopted by the acquired entity is different from that adopted by the Company, the Company, according to accounting policy it adopts, adjusts the relevant items in the financial statements of the acquired entity based on the principle of materiality. the Company’s capital reserve (capital premium or share premium) is adjusted by the difference between the carrying amount of the net assets obtained by the Company and the carrying amount of the consideration paid for the combination; where the capital reserve (capital premium or share premium) is not sufficient to absorb the difference, the excess is adjusted to the Company’s surplus reserves, and retained earnings if needed. 16 Anhui Gujing Distillery Company Limited Notes to the Financial Statements See Note 3.6.6 for business combination under common control through multiple transactions. 3.5.2 Business combination not under common control The identifiable assets and liabilities that the Company obtains in a business combination not under common control are measured at their fair value at the acquisition date. If the accounting policy adopted by the acquired entity is different from that adopted by the Company, the Company, according to accounting policy it adopts, adjusts the relevant items in the financial statements of the acquired entity based on the principle of materiality. The Company recognises the excess of the cost of combination over the fair value of the identifiable net assets it obtains from the acquired entity as goodwill. Where the fair value of the identifiable net assets obtained by the Company is higher than the cost of combination, the Company review the measurement of the fair values of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities it obtains from the acquired entity as well as the cost of combination; where the excess remains upon the review, the Company recognises the excess through profit or loss for the period in which the combination occurs. See Note 3.6.6 for business combination not under common control through multiple transactions. 3.5.3 Transaction costs of a business combination The intermediary costs such as audit, legal services and valuation consulting and other related management costs that are directly attributable to the business combination are charged to profit or loss in the period in which they are incurred. The costs to issue equity or debt securities for the consideration of business combination are recorded as a part of the value of the respect equity or debt securities upon initial recognition. 3.6 Consolidated financial statements 3.6.1 Scope of consolidation The scope of consolidation is determined on the basis of control. It not only includes subsidiaries determined based on voting power (or similar) or other arrangement, but also structured entities under one or several contract arrangements. Control exists when the Company has all the following: power over the investee; exposure, or rights to variable returns from the Company’s involvement with the investee; and the ability 17 Anhui Gujing Distillery Company Limited Notes to the Financial Statements to use its power over the investee to affect the amount of the investor’s returns. Subsidiaries are the entities that controlled by the Company (including a legal entity, a divisible part of the investee, and a structured entity controlled by a legal entity). A structured entity (sometimes called a Special Purpose Entity) is an entity that has been designed so that voting or similar rights are not the dominant factor in deciding who controls the entity. 3.6.2 Accounting policies applicable to an investing entity Where an entity is an investing entity, it consolidates its subsidiaries to the extent that the subsidiaries which provide services to the investing entity; investment by the investing entity in other subsidiaries of the investing entity which are not consolidated by the investing entity is reocgnised as financial assets at fair value through profit or loss. An entity is an investing entity is all of the following conditions are satisfied: I. the entity obtains funds from one or more investors for the purpose of providing those investors with investment management services; II. the entity commits to its investors that its business purpose is to invest funds solely for returns from capital appreciation, investment income or both; and III. the entity measures and evaluates the performance of substantially all of its investments on a fair value basis. Where a non-investing entity becomes an investing entity, subsidiaries excluded from consolidation upon the change in status are accounted for in accordance with the principle of partial disposal not giving rise to loss of control. Where an investing entity becomes a non-investing entity, subsidiairies which were not previously consolidated are consolidated into the non-investing entity upon the change in status in accordance with the principle of business combination not under common control while their fair value as of the date of change in status is recognised by the non-investing entity as cost of combination. 3.6.3 Preparation of the consolidated financial statements The consolidated financial statements are prepared by the Company based on the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries, and using other related information. When preparing consolidated financial statements, the Company considers the entire group as 18 Anhui Gujing Distillery Company Limited Notes to the Financial Statements an accounting entity, adopts uniform accounting policies and applies the requirements of Accounting Standard for Business Enterprises related to recognition, measurement and presentation. The consolidated financial statements reflect the overall financial position, operating results and cash flows of the group. I. Like items of assets, liabilities, equity, income, expenses and cash flows of the parent are combined with those of the subsidiaries. II. The carrying amount of the parent’s investment in each subsidiary is eliminated (off-set) against the parent’s portion of equity of each subsidiary. III. The impact of intragroup transactions between the Company and the subsidiaries or between subsidiaries are eliminated, and when intragroup transactions indicate an impairment of related assets, the losses are recognised in full. IV. Adjustments are made for special transactions from the perspective of the group. 3.6.4 Accounting for inclusion into and exclusion from the scope of consolidation 3.6.4.1 Inclusion into the scope of consolidation I. Subsidiaries or businesses acquired through business combination under common control When preparing the consolidated statements of financial position, the opening balances are adjusted. Related items of comparative financial statements are adjusted as well, deeming that the combined entity has always existed ever since the ultimate controlling party began to control. Incomes, expenses and profits of the subsidiary arising from the beginning of the reporting period to the end of the reporting period are included into the consolidated statement of comprehensive income. Related items of comparative financial statements are adjusted as well, deeming that the combined entity has always existed ever since the ultimate controlling party began to control. Cash flows from the beginning of the reporting period to the end of the reporting period are included into the consolidated statement of cash flows. Related items of comparative financial statements are adjusted as well, deeming that the combined entity has always existed ever since the ultimate controlling party began to control. II. Subsidiaries or businesses acquired through business combination not under common control 19 Anhui Gujing Distillery Company Limited Notes to the Financial Statements When preparing the consolidated statements of financial position, the opening balances of the consolidated statements of financial position are not adjusted. Incomes, expenses and profits of the subsidiary arising from the acquisition date to the end of the reporting period are included into the consolidated statement of comprehensive income. Cash flows from the acquisition date to the end of the reporting period are included into the consolidated statement of cash flows. 3.6.4.2 Exclusion from the scope of consolidation resulted from disposal of subsidiaries or businesses When preparing the consolidated statements of financial position, the opening balances of the consolidated statements of financial position are not adjusted. Incomes, expenses and profits incurred from the beginning of the subsidiary to the disposal date are included into the consolidated statement of comprehensive income. Cash flows from the beginning of the subsidiary to the disposal date are included into the consolidated statement of cash flows. 3.6.5 Special consideration in consolidation elimination 3.6.5.1 Long-term equity investment held by the subsidiaries to the Company is recognised as treasury stock of the Company, which is offset with equity, represented as “treasury stock” under “equity” in the consolidated statement of financial position. Long-term equity investment held by subsidiaries between each other is accounted for taking long-term equity investment held by the Company to its subsidiaries as reference. That is, the long-term equity investment is eliminated (off- set) against the portion of the corresponding subsidiary’s equity. 3.6.5.2 Due to not belonging to share capital and capital reserve, and being different from retained earnings and undistributed profit, “Specific reserves” is recovered based on the proportion attributable to owners of the parent company after long-term equity investment to the subsidiaries is eliminated with the subsidiaries’ equity. 3.6.5.3 If temporary timing difference between the book value of the assets and liabilities in the consolidated statement of financial position and their tax basis is generated as a result of elimination of unrealised inter-company transaction profit or loss, deferred tax assets of deferred tax liabilities are recognised, and income tax expense in the consolidated statement 20 Anhui Gujing Distillery Company Limited Notes to the Financial Statements of comprehensive income is adjusted simultaneously, excluding deferred taxes related to transactions or events directly recognised in equity or business combination. 3.6.5.4 Unrealised inter-company transactions profit or loss generated from the Company selling assets to its subsidiaries is eliminated against “net profit attributable to the shareholders of the parent company” in full. Unrealised inter-company transactions profit or loss generated from the subsidiaries selling assets to the Company is eliminated between “net profit attributable to the shareholders of the parent company” and “net profit attributable to non-controlling shareholders” pursuant to the proportion of the Company in the related subsidiaries. Unrealised inter-company transactions profit or loss generated from the assets sales between the subsidiaries is eliminated between “net profit attributable to the shareholders of the parent company” and “net profit attributable to non-controlling shareholders” pursuant to the proportion of the Company in the selling subsidiaries. 3.6.5.5 If loss attributable to the non-controlling shareholders of a subsidiary in current period is more than the proportion of non-controlling interest in this subsidiary at the beginning of the period, non-controlling interest is still to be written down. 3.6.6 Accounting for special transactions 3.6.6.1 Acquiring shares from non-controlling shareholders Where, the Company purchases non-controlling interests of its subsidiary, in the separate financial statements of the Company, the cost of the long-term equity investment obtained in purchasing non-controlling interests is measured at the fair value of the consideration paid. In the consolidated financial statements, difference between the cost of the long-term equity investment newly obtained in purchasing non-controlling interests and share of the subsidiary’s net assets from the acquisition date or combination date continuingly calculated pursuant to the newly acquired shareholding proportion shall be adjusted into capital reserve (capital premium or share premium). If capital reserve is insufficient for offset, surplus reserve and retained earnings shall be offset in turn. 3.6.6.2 Gaining control over a subsidiary in stages through multiple transactions I. Business combination under common control through multiple transactions On the combination date, in the separate financial statement, initial cost of the long-term equity investment is determined according to the share of carrying amount of the acquiree’s net assets in the ultimate controlling entity’s consolidated financial statements after combination. The difference between the initial cost of the long-term equity investment and 21 Anhui Gujing Distillery Company Limited Notes to the Financial Statements the carrying amount of the long -term investment held prior of control plus book value of additional consideration paid at acquisition date is adjusted into capital reserve (capital premium or share premium). If the capital reserve is not enough to absorb the difference, any excess is adjusted against surplus reserve and undistributed profit in turn. In the consolidated financial statements, the assets and liabilities acquired during the combination are recognised at their carrying amounts in the ultimate controlling entity’s consolidated financial statements on the combination date unless any adjustment is resulted from the difference in accounting policies. The difference between the carrying amount of the investment held prior of control plus book value of additional consideration paid on the acquisition date and the net assets acquired through the combination is adjusted into capital reserve (capital premium or share premium). If the capital reserve is not enough to absorb the difference, any excess is adjusted against retained earnings. If the acquiring entity holds equity investment in the acquired entity prior to the combination date and the equity investment is accounted for under the equity method, related profit or loss, other comprehensive income and other changes in equity which have been recognised during the period from the later of the date of the Company obtaining original equity interest and the date of both the acquirer and the acquiree under common control of the same ultimate controlling party to the combination is offset against the opening balance of retained earnings at the comparative financial statements period respectively. II. Business combination not under common control through multiple transactions On the consolidation date, in the separate financial statements, the initial cost of long-term equity investment is determined according to the carrying amount of the original long-term investment plus the cost of new investment. In the consolidated financial statements, the equity interest of the acquired entity held prior to the acquisition date is re-measured at its fair value on the acquisition date. Difference between the fair value of the equity interest and its book value is recognised as investment income. Other comprehensive income related to the equity interest held prior to the acquisition date calculated through equity method is transferred to current investment income of the acquisition period, excluding other comprehensive income resulted from the remeasurement of defined benefit plans. The Company discloses acquisition-date fair value of the equity interest held prior to the acquisition date, and the related gains or losses due to the remeasurement based on fair value. 22 Anhui Gujing Distillery Company Limited Notes to the Financial Statements 3.6.6.3 Disposal of investment in subsidiaries without a loss of control For partial disposal of a long-term equity investment in a subsidiary without a loss of control, when the Company prepares consolidated financial statements, difference between consideration received from the disposal and the corresponding share of subsidiary’s net assets cumulatively calculated from the acquisition date or combination date is adjusted into capital reserve (capital premium or share premium). If the capital reserve is not enough to absorb the difference, any excess is adjusted against retained earnings. 3.6.6.4 Disposal of investment in subsidiaries with a loss of control I. Loss of control through one single transaction If the Company loses control in an investee through partial disposal of the equity investment, when the consolidated financial statements are prepared, the retained equity interest is re-measured at fair value at the date of loss of control. The difference between i) the fair value of consideration received from the disposal plus non-controlling interest retained; ii) share of the former subsidiary’s net assets cumulatively calculated from the acquisition date or combination date according to the original proportion of equity interest, is recognised in current investment income when control is lost. Moreover, other comprehensive income and other changes in equity related to the equity investment in the former subsidiary is transferred into current investment income when control is lost, excluding other comprehensive income resulted from the remeasurement of defined benefit plans. II. Loss of control through multiple transactions In the consolidated financial statements, whether the transactions should be accounted for as “a single transaction” needs to be decided firstly. If the disposal through multiple transactions is not classified as “a single transaction”, in the separate financial statements, for transactions prior to the date of loss of control, carrying amount of each disposal of long-term equity investment is de-recognised at upon disposal, and the difference between consideration received and the carrying amount of long-term equity investment corresponding to the equity interest disposed is recognised in current investment income; in the consolidated financial statements, the disposal transaction is accounted for in accordance with 3.6.6.3. If the disposal through multiple transactions is classified as “a single transaction”, these 23 Anhui Gujing Distillery Company Limited Notes to the Financial Statements transactions should be accounted for as one single transaction of disposal of subsidiary resulting in loss of control. In the separate financial statements, for each transaction prior to the date of loss of control, difference between consideration received and the carrying amount of long-term equity investment corresponding to the equity interest disposed is recognised in other comprehensive income firstly, and transferred to profit or loss as a whole when control is lost; in the consolidated financial statements, for each transaction prior to the date of loss of control, difference between consideration received and proportion of the subsidiary’s net assets corresponding to the equity interest disposed is recognised in profit or loss as a whole when control is lost. In considering of the terms and conditions of the transactions as well as their economic impact, the presence of one or more of the following indicators may lead to account for multiple transactions as a single transaction: i. The transactions are entered into simultaneously or in contemplation of one another. ii. The transactions form a single transaction designed to achieve an overall commercial effect. iii. The occurrence of one transaction depends on the occurrence of at least one other transaction. iv. One transaction, when considered on its own merits, does not make economic sense, but when considered together with the other transaction or transactions would be considered economically justifiable. 3.6.6.5 Diluting equity share of parent company in its subsidiaries due to additional capital contribution by the subsidiaries’ non-controlling shareholders. Other shareholders (non-controlling shareholders) of the subsidiaries inject additional capital in the subsidiary, which results in the dilution of equity interest of parent company in the subsidiary. In the consolidated financial statements, difference between share of the corresponding subsidiary’s net assets calculated based on the parent’s equity interest before and after the capital injection is adjusted into capital reserve (capital premium or share premium). If the capital reserve is not enough to absorb the difference, any excess is adjusted against retained earnings. 3.7 Joint arrangement A joint arrangement is an arrangement of which two or more parties have joint control. Joint 24 Anhui Gujing Distillery Company Limited Notes to the Financial Statements arrangement of the Company is classified as either a joint operation or a joint venture. 3.7.1 Joint operation A joint operation is a joint arrangement whereby the parties that have joint control of the arrangement have rights to the assets, and obligations for the liabilities, relating to the arrangement. The Company recognises the following items in relation to shared interest in a joint operation, and accounts for them in accordance with relevant accounting standards of the Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises: I. its assets, including its share of any assets held jointly; II. its liabilities, including its share of any liabilities incurred jointly; III. its revenue from the sale of its share of the output arising from the joint operation; IV. its share of the revenue from the sale of the output by the joint operation; and V. its expenses, including its share of any expenses incurred jointly. 3.7.2 Joint venture A joint venture is a joint arrangement whereby the parties that have joint control of the arrangement have rights to the net assets of the arrangement. The Company accounts for its investment in the joint venture by applying the equity method of long-term equity investment. 3.8 Cash and cash equivalents Cash comprises cash on hand and deposits that can be readily withdrawn on demand. Cash equivalents include short-term (generally within three months of maturity at acquisition), highly liquid investments that are readily convertible into known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. 3.9 Foreign currency 3.9.1 Translation of a transaction denominated in a foreign currency At the time of initial recognition of a foreign currency transaction, the amount in the foreign currency is translated into the amount in the functional currency at the spot exchange rate of the transaction date, or at an exchange rate which is determined through a systematic and reasonable method and is approximate to the spot exchange rate of the transaction date 25 Anhui Gujing Distillery Company Limited Notes to the Financial Statements (hereinafter referred to as the approximate exchange rate). 3.9.2 Translation of monetary items denominated in foreign currencies on a balance-sheet date The foreign currency monetary items are translated at the spot exchange rate on the balance sheet date. The balance of exchange arising from the difference between the spot exchange rate on the balance sheet date and the spot exchange rate at the time of initial recognition or prior to the balance sheet date shall be recorded into the profits and losses at the current period. The foreign currency non-monetary items measured at the historical cost are translated at the spot exchange rate on the transaction date; the foreign currency non-monetary items restated to a fair value measurement are translated at the spot exchange rate at the date when the fair value was determined, the difference between the restated functional currency amount and the original functional currency amount shall be recorded into the profits and losses at the current period. 3.9.3 Translation of financial statements denominated in a foreign currency Before translating the financial statements of foreign operations, the accounting period and accounting policies are adjusted so as to conform to the Company’s accounting period and accounting policies. The adjusted foreign operation financial statements denominated in foreign currency (other than functional currency) are translated in accordance with the following method: I. The asset and liability items in the statement of financial position shall be translated at the spot exchange rates at the date of that statement of financial position. The equity items except retained earnings are translated at the spot exchange rates when they are incurred. II. The income and expense items in the statement of comprehensive income are translated at the spot exchange rates or approximate exchange rate at the date of transaction. III. Foreign currency cash flows and cash flows of foreign subsidiaries are translated at the spot exchange rate or approximate exchange rate when the cash flows are incurred. The effect of exchange rate changes on cash is presented separately in the statement of cash flows as an adjustment item. IV. The differences arising from the translation of foreign currency financial statements are presented separately as “other comprehensive income” under the equity items of the 26 Anhui Gujing Distillery Company Limited Notes to the Financial Statements consolidated statement of financial position. When disposing a foreign operation involving loss of control, the cumulative amount of the exchange differences relating to that foreign operation recognised under other comprehensive income in the statement of financial position are reclassified into current profit or loss according to the proportion disposed. 3.10 Financial instruments A financial instrument is any contract which gives rise to both a financial asset of one entity and a financial liability or equity instrument of another entity. 3.10.1 Recognition and derecognition of a financial instrument A financial asset or a financial liability is recognised in the statement of financial position when, and only when, an entity becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. A financial asset can only be derecognised when the rights to the contractual cash flows from the financial asset expire; or A financial liability (or a part of a financial liability) is derecognised in on of the following ways: I. a financial liability (or a part of the financial liability) is derecognised when the obligation associated with the financial liability (or the part of the financial liability) is released; II. Where an existing financial liability is replaced by a new financial liability by an agreement with the counter party and the new financial liability is substantially different from the existing financial liability, the existing financial liability is derecognised while the new financial liablity is recognised; III. Where the contractual terms of a financial liability (or a part of a financial liability) are substantially altered, the financial liablity is dercognised in full and a new financial liablity reflecting the contractual terms after alteration is recognised. Purchase or sale of a financial instrument in a regular-way is recognised and derecognised using trade date accounting. A regular-way purchase or sale of a financial instrument is a transaction under a contract whose terms require delivery of the instrument within the timeframe established generally by regulations or convention in the market place concerned. Trade date is the date on which the entity commits itself to purchase or sell aA financial instrument. 27 Anhui Gujing Distillery Company Limited Notes to the Financial Statements 3.10.2 Classification and measurement of financial assets A financial asset is recognised as one of the following upon initial recognition based on both the business model for managing the financial asset and the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial asset: I. a financial asset at amortised cost; II. a financial asset at fair value through profit or loss (FVATPL); or III. a financial asset at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVATOCI). Reclassification of a financial asset is permitted if, and only if, the objective of the entity’s business model for managing the financial asset changes. In this circumstance, all affected financial assets are reclassified on the first day of the first reporting period after the changes in business model; otherwise a financial asset cannot be reclassified after initial recognition. Financial assets shall be measured at initial recognition at fair value. For financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs are recognised in current profit or loss. For financial assets not measured at fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs should be included in the initial measurement. Notes receivable or accounts receivable that arise from sales of goods or rendering of services are initially measured at the transaction price defined in the accounting standard of revenue where the transaction does not include a significant financing component. Subsequent measurement of financial assets will be based on their categories: I. Financial assets at amortised cost A financial asset is classified as a financial asset at amortised cost when both the following conditions are satisfied: i. the financial asset is held within the business model whose objective is to hold the financial asset in order to collect contractual cash flows; and ii. the contractual term of the financial asset gives rise to cash flows on specified dates that are solely payment of principal and interest on the outstanding principal amount. A financial asset at amortised cost is subsequently measured at amortised cost by adopting the effective interest rate method. Any gain or loss arising from derecognition, amortisation computed using the effective interest rate method, and impairment are recognised in current profit or loss. 28 Anhui Gujing Distillery Company Limited Notes to the Financial Statements II. Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVATOCI) A financial asset is classified as a FVATOCI when both the following conditions are satisfied: i. the financial asset is held within the business model whose objective is achieved by both collecting contractual cash flows and selling financial asset; and ii. the contractual term of the financial asset gives rise to cash flows on specified dates that are solely payment of principal and interest on the outstanding principal amount. A FVATOCI is subsequently measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognised in other comprehensive income excep for the following gain or loss, which is recognised in current profit or loss: i. gain or loss arising from impairment or exchange differences; and ii. interest income calculated based on the effective interest rate Where a non-trading equity instrument investment is irrevocably designated as a FVTAOCI, fair value change is recognised in other comprehensive income and dividend income is recognised in current profit or loss. Upon derecognised, cumulative gain or loss previously recognised in other comprehensive income is reclassified to retained earnings. III Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss (FVATPL) A financial asset which is neither a financial asset at amortised cost nor a FVATOCI is classified as a FVATPL. A FVATPL is subsequently measured as fair value with changes in fair value recognised in current profit or loss. 3.10.3 Classification and measurement of financial liabilities The Company classified the financial liabilities as financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss (FVLTPL), loan commitments at a below-market interest rate, financial guarantee contracts, and financial liablities at amortised cost. Subsequent measurement of financial assets will be based on the classification: I. Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss (FVLTPL) Held-for-trading financial liabilities (including derivatives that are financial liabilities) and financial liabilities designated as FVLTPL are classified as financial liabilities at FVLTPL. After initial recognition, any gain or loss (including interest expense) are recognised in current profit or loss except for those to which hedge accounting is applied. For a financial 29 Anhui Gujing Distillery Company Limited Notes to the Financial Statements liability that is designated as a FVLTPL, changes in the fair value of the financial liability that is attributable to changes in the own credit risk of the issuer is recognised in other comprehensive income. At derecognition, cumulative gain or loss previously recognised under other comprehensive income is reclassified to retained earnings. II. Loan commitments and financial guarantee contracts A loan commitment is a commitment by the Company to provide a loan to customer under specified contract terms. The provision of impairment losses of loan commitments is recognised based on expected credit losses model. A financial guarantee contract is a contract that requires the Company to make specified payments to reimburse the holder for a loss it incurs because a specified debtor fails to make payment when due in accordance with the original or modified terms of a debt instrument. A financial guarantee contract liability shall be subsequently measured at the higher of the amount determined in accordance with the accounting policies applicable to impairment of a financial asset and the amount initially recognised less the cumulative amortisation calculated in accordance with the accounting policies applicable to revenue. III. Financial liabilities at amortised cost A financial liability at amortised cost is subsequently measured at its amortised cost calculated using the effective interest rate method. Unless in exceptional case, financial liabilities and equity instruments are classfified in the following ways: I. Where the issuer of a financial instrument has no uncondintional right to avoid deliverying cash or another financial asset(s) to fulfill an obligation, this obligation meets the definition of a financial liablity. A contract of a financial instrument may not explicitly comprise terms and conditions relating to a obligation of delivery cash or another financial asset(s), it may implicitly include such obligation through other terms and conditions. II. Where a financial instrument can only or may be settled by the issuer’s own equity instruments: i. if the issuer’s equity instruments are a substitution of cash or other financial asset(s), the financial instrument is the issuer’s liability; ii. if the issuer’s equity instruments enable the holder to the issuer’s residual interest after deducting all of the issuer’s liabilities from all of the issuer’s assets, the financial instrument 30 Anhui Gujing Distillery Company Limited Notes to the Financial Statements is the issuer’s equity instrument. In certain cases, a financial instrument can only or may be settled by the issuer’s own equity instruments and the settlement amount is calculated by multiplying the number of equity instruments deliverable with the fair value of the equity instrument at the settlement date, the instrument is the issuer’s financial liablity regardless of whether the settlement amount is fixed or determinable wholly or partly by variables other than the market price of the issuer’s own equity instrument (such as interest rate, market price of a commodity, or price of a financial instrument). 3.10.4 Derivatives and embedded derivatives A financial derivative is initially measured at its fair value at the inception date of the derivative contract and subsequently measured at fair value. At initial recognition, a financial deriivative with fair value at positive amount is recognised as an asset and as a liability is the fair value is at negative amount. Except for the change of fair value of the effective portion of a cash flow hedge, which is recognised other comprehensive income and reclassified to profit or loss upon cease of hedging effectiveness, change of fair value of a financial financial derivative in recognised in current profit or loss. Where the non-derivative part of a hybrid instrument is a financial asset, the hybrid instrument is as a whole accounted for a financial asset. Where the non-derivative part of a hybrid instrument is a non-financial asset, the derivative part is separately accounted for as a financial derivative if all of the following conditions are satisfied: I. the hybrid instrument is not accounted for at fair value through profit or loss; II. the economic characteristics and risks of the derivative part is not closely related to those of the non-derivative part; and III. a stand-alone instrument with characteristics similar to the derivative part is a financial derivative. Where the fair value of the derivative part of a hybrid instrument with the non-derivative part being a non-financial asset cannot be inidividually measured either upon or subsequent to 31 Anhui Gujing Distillery Company Limited Notes to the Financial Statements initial recognition, the hybrid instrument as a whole is accounted as either a FVATPL or FVLTPL. 3.10.5 Impairment of financial instruments Impairment allowance for financial assets at amortised costs, FVATOCI, contract assets, lease receivables, loan commitments and financial guarantee contracts is recognised on the basis of their expected credit loss. I. Measurement of expected credit loss Expected credit loss are the weighted average of credit loss of a financial instrument with the respective risks of a default occurring as the weights. Credit loss is the difference between all contractual cash flows that are due to the Company in accordance with the contract and all the cash flows that the Company expects to receive (ie all cash shortfalls), discounted at the original effective interest rate or credit-adjusted effective interest rate in the case of purchased credit-impaired financial assets or financial assets with origninated credit impairment. Lifetime expected credit losses are the expected credit losses that result from all possible default events over the expected life of a financial instrument. 12-month expected credit losses are the portion of lifetime expected credit losses that represent the expected credit losses that result from default events on a financial instrument that are possible within the 12 months after the reporting date (or the expected lifetime, if the expected life of a financial instrument is less than 12 months). At each reporting date, the Company classifies financial instruments into three stages and makes provisions for expected credit losses accordingly. A financial instrument of which the credit risk has not significantly increased since initial recognition is at stage 1. The Company shall measure the loss allowance for that financial instrument at an amount equal to 12-month expected credit losses. A financial instrument with a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition but is not considered to be credit-impaired is at stage 2. The Company shall measure the loss allowance for that financial instrument at an amount equal to the lifetime expected credit losses. A financial instrument is considered to be credit-impaired as at the end of the reporting period is at stage 3. The Company shall measure the loss allowance for that financial instrument at an amount equal to the lifetime expected credit losses. The Company may assume that the credit risk on a financial instrument has not increased significantly since initial recognition if the financial instrument is determined to have low 32 Anhui Gujing Distillery Company Limited Notes to the Financial Statements credit risk at the reporting date and measure the loss allowance for that financial instrument at an amount equal to 12-month expected credit losses. For financial instrument at stage 1, stage 2 and those have low credit risk, the interest revenue shall be calculated by applying the effective interest rate to the gross carrying amount of a financial asset (ie, impairment loss not been deducted). For financial instrument at stage 3, interest revenue shall be calculated by applying the effective interest rate to the amortised cost after deducting of impairment loss. For notes receivable, accounts receivable and accounts receivable financing, no matter it contains a significant financing component or not, the Company shall measure the loss allowance at an amount equal to the lifetime expected credit losses. i. Receivables For the notes receivable, accounts receivable, other receivables, accounts receivable financing and long-term receivables which are demonstrated to be impaired by any objective evidence, or applicable for individual assessment, the Company shall individually assess for impairment and recognise the loss allowance for expected credit losses. If the Company determines that no objective evidence of impairment exists for notes receivable, accounts receivable, other receivables, accounts receivable financing and long-term receivables, or the expected credit loss of a single financial asset cannot be assessed at reasonable cost, such notes receivable, accounts receivable, other receivables, accounts receivable financing and long-term receivables shall be divided into several groups with similar credit risk characteristics and collectively calculated the expected credit loss. The determination basis of groups is as following: A. Notes receivables: Group 1: Commercial acceptance Group 2: Bank acceptance For each group, the Company calculates expected credit losses through default exposure and the lifetime expected credit losses rate, taking reference to historical experience for credit losses and considering current condition and expectation for the future economic situation. B. Accounts receivable: Group 1: Related parties within the scope of consolidation 33 Anhui Gujing Distillery Company Limited Notes to the Financial Statements Group 2: Receivables due from third parties The expected credit loss for a portfolio of accounts receivable is computed using the expected credit loss rate over the entire lifes of the accounts receivable and the age groups of these accouns receivable while taking into consideration of their historical credit loss and the assessment for current and expected general economic conditions. C. Other receivables: Group 1: Related parties within the scope of consolidation Group 2: Receivables due from third parties The expected credit loss for a portfolio of other receivables is computed using the expected credit loss rate over the next 12 months of the other receivables and their exposure to default risk while taking into consideration of their historical credit loss and the assessment for current and expected general economic conditions. ii. Debts investment and other debt investments The expected credit loss for a debt investment or other debt investment is computed using the expected credit loss rate over the next 12 months or the entire life of the investment and its exposure to default risk while taking into consideration of its nature. II. Low credit risk If the financial instrument has a low risk of default, the borrower has a strong capacity to meet its contractual cash flow obligations in the near term and adverse changes in economic and business conditions in the longer term may, but will not necessarily, reduce the ability of the borrower to fulfill its contractual cash flow obligations. III. Significant increase in credit risk The Company shall assess whether the credit risk on a financial instrument has increased significantly since initial recognition, using the change in the risk of a default occurring over the expected life of the financial instrument, through the comparison of the risk of a default occurring on the financial instrument as at the reporting date with the risk of a default occurring on the financial instrument as at the date of initial recognition. To make that assessment, the Company shall consider reasonable and supportable information, that is available without undue cost or effort, and that is indicative of significant increases in credit risk since initial recognition, including forward-looking information. The information 34 Anhui Gujing Distillery Company Limited Notes to the Financial Statements considered by the Company are as following: i. significant changes in internal price indicators of credit risk as a result of a change in credit risk since inception; ii. existing or forecast adverse change in the business, financial or economic conditions of the borrower that results in a significant change in the borrower’s ability to meet its debt obligations; iii. an actual or expected significant change in the operating results of the borrower; An actual or expected significant adverse change in the regulatory, economic, or technological environment of the borrower; iv. significant changes in the value of the collateral supporting the obligation or in the quality of third-party guarantees or credit enhancements, which are expected to reduce the borrower’s economic incentive to make scheduled contractual payments or to otherwise have an effect on the probability of a default occurring; v. significant change that are expected to reduce the borrower’s economic incentive to make scheduled contractual payments vi. expected changes in the loan documentation including an expected breach of contract that may lead to covenant waivers or amendments, interest payment holidays, interest rate step-ups, requiring additional collateral or guarantees, or other changes to the contractual framework of the instrument; vii. significant changes in the expected performance and behaviour of the borrower viii. contractual payments are not less than 30 days past due. Depending on the nature of the financial instruments, the Company shall assess whether the credit risk has increased significantly since initial recognition on an individual financial instrument or a group of financial instruments. When assessed based on a group of financial instruments, the Company can group financial instruments on the basis of shared credit risk characteristics, for example, past due information and credit risk rating. Generally, the Company shall determine the credit risk on a financial asset has increased significantly since initial recognition when contractual payments are more than 30 days past due. The Company can only rebut this presumption if the Company has reasonable and supportable information that is available without undue cost or effort, that demonstrates that 35 Anhui Gujing Distillery Company Limited Notes to the Financial Statements the credit risk has not increased significantly since initial recognition even though the contractual payments are more than 30 days past due. IV. Credit-impaired financial asset The Company shall assess at each reporting date whether the credit impairment has occurred for financial asset at amortised cost and debt investment at fair value through other comprehensive income. A financial asset is credit-impaired when one or more events that have a detrimental impact on the estimated future cash flows of that financial asset have occurred. Evidences that a financial asset is credit-impaired include observable data about the following events: Significant financial difficulty of the issuer or the borrower;a breach of contract, such as a default or past due event; the lender(s) of the borrower, for economic or contractual reasons relating to the borrower’s financial difficulty, having granted to the borrower a concession(s) that the lender(s) would not otherwise consider;it is becoming probable that the borrower will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganisation;the disappearance of an active market for that financial asset because of financial difficulties;the purchase or origination of a financial asset at a deep discount that reflects the incurred credit losses. V. Presentation of impairment of expected credit loss In order to reflect the changes of credit risk of financial instrument since initial recognition, the Company shall at each reporting date remeasure the expected credit loss and recognise in profit or loss, as an impairment gain or loss, the amount of expected credit losses addition(or reversal). For financial asset at amortised cost, the loss allowance shall reduce the carrying amount of the financial asset in the statement of financial position; for debt investment at fair value through other comprehensive income, the loss allowance shall be recognised in other comprehensive income and shall not reduce the carrying amount of the financial asset in the statement of financial position. VI. Write-off The Company shall directly reduce the gross carrying amount of a financial asset when the Company has no reasonable expectations of recovering the contractual cash flow of a financial asset in its entirety or a portion thereof. Such write-off constitutes a derecognition of 36 Anhui Gujing Distillery Company Limited Notes to the Financial Statements the financial asset. This circumstance usually occurs when the Company determines that the debtor has no assets or sources of income that could generate sufficient cash flow to repay the write-off amount. Recovery of financial asset written off shall be recognised in profit or loss as reversal of impairment loss. 3.10.6 Transfer of financial assets An entity may transfer a financial asset by either transferring the contractual rights to the cash flows of the financial asset to another party or transferring the financial asset to another party while retaining the contractual rights to the cash flows of the financial asset and assuming the contractual obligations to deliver cash flows received to one or multiple parties. I. Derecognition of transferred assets If the Company transfers substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset, or neither transfers nor retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset but has not retained control of the financial asset, the financial asset shall be derecognised. Whether the Company has retained control of the transferred asset depends on the transferee’s ability to sell the asset. If the transferee has the practical ability to sell the asset in its entirety to an unrelated third party and is able to exercise that ability unilaterally and without needing to impose additional restrictions on the transfer, the Company has not retained control. The Company judges whether the transfer of financial asset qualifies for derecognition based on the substance of the transfer. If the transfer of financial asset qualifies for derecognition in its entirety, the difference between the following shall be recognised in profit or loss: i. the carrying amount of transferred financial asset; ii. the sum of consideration received and the part derecognised of the cumulative changes in fair value previously recognised in other comprehensive income (The financial assets involved in the transfer are classified as financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income in accordance with Article 18 of the Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises - Recognition and Measurement of Financial Instruments). If the transferred asset is a part of a larger financial asset and the part transferred qualifies for derecognition, the previous carrying amount of the larger financial asset shall be allocated 37 Anhui Gujing Distillery Company Limited Notes to the Financial Statements between the part that continues to be recognised (For this purpose, a retained servicing asset shall be treated as a part that continues to be recognised) and the part that is derecognised, based on the relative fair values of those parts on the date of the transfer. The difference between following two amounts shall be recognised in profit or loss: i. the carrying amount (measured at the date of derecognition) allocated to the part derecognised ii. the sum of the consideration received for the part derecognised and part derecognised of the cumulative changes in fair value previously recognised in other comprehensive income (The financial assets involved in the transfer are classified as financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income in accordance with Article 18 of the Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises - Recognition and Measurement of Financial Instruments). II. Continuing involvement in transferred assets If the Company neither transfers nor retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of a transferred asset, and retains control of the transferred asset, the Company shall continue to recognise the transferred asset to the extent of its continuing involvement and also recognise an associated liability. The extent of the Company’s continuing involvement in the transferred asset is the extent to which it is exposed to changes in the value of the transferred asset. III. Continue to recognise the transferred assets If the Company retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the transferred financial asset, the Company shall continue to recognise the transferred asset in its entirety and the consideration received shall be recognised as a financial liability. The financial asset and the associated financial liability shall not be offset. In subsequent accounting period, the Company shall continuously recognise any income (gain) arising from the transferred asset and any expense (loss) incurred on the associated liability. 3.10.7 Offsetting financial assets and financial liabilities Financial assets and financial liabilities shall be presented separately in the statement of financial position and shall not be offset. When meets the following conditions, financial assets and financial liabilities shall be offset and the net amount presented in the statement of 38 Anhui Gujing Distillery Company Limited Notes to the Financial Statements financial position: The Company currently has a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts; The Company intends either to settle on a net basis, or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. In accounting for a transfer of a financial asset that does not qualify for derecognition, the Company shall not offset the transferred asset and the associated liability. 3.10.8 Determination of fair value of financial instruments See Note 3.11 for determination of fair value of financial instruments. 3.11 Determination of fair value Fair value refers to the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The Company determines fair value of the related assets and liabilities based on market value in the principal market, or in the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market price for the related asset or liability. The fair value of an asset or a liability is measured using the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, assuming that market participants act in their economic best interest. The principal market is the market in which transactions for an asset or liability take place with the greatest volume and frequency. The most advantageous market is the market which maximizes the value that could be received from selling the asset and minimizes the value which is needed to be paid in order to transfer a liability, considering the effect of transport costs and transaction costs both. If the active market of the financial asset or financial liability exists, the Company shall measure the fair value using the quoted price in the active market. If the active market of the financial instrument is not available, the Company shall measure the fair value using valuation techniques. A fair value measurement of a non-financial asset takes into account a market participant’s ability to generate economic benefits by using the asset in its highest and best use or by selling it to another market participant that would use the asset in its highest and best use. 3.11.1 Valuation techniques The Company uses valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for 39 Anhui Gujing Distillery Company Limited Notes to the Financial Statements which sufficient data are available to measure fair value, including the market approach, the income approach and the cost approach. The Company shall use valuation techniques consistent with one or more of those approaches to measure fair value. If multiple valuation techniques are used to measure fair value, the results shall be evaluated considering the reasonableness of the range of values indicated by those results. A fair value measurement is the point within that range that is most representative of fair value in the circumstances. When using the valuation technique, the Company shall give the priority to relevant observable inputs. The unobservable inputs can only be used when relevant observable inputs is not available or practically would not be obtained. Observable inputs refer to the information which is available from market and reflects the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability. Unobservable Inputs refer to the information which is not available from market and it has to be developed using the best information available in the circumstances from the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability. 3.11.2 Fair value hierarchy To Company establishes a fair value hierarchy that categorises into three levels the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to Level 1 inputs and second to the Level 2 inputs and the lowest priority to Level 3 inputs. Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity can access at the measurement date. Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. 3.12 Inventories 3.12.1 Classification of inventories Inventories are finished goods or products held for sale in the ordinary course of business, in the process of production for such sale, or in the form of materials or supplies to be consumed in the production process or in the rendering of services, including raw materials, semi-finished goods, work in progress, finished goods, merchandises, consumables, etc. 3.12.2 Measurement method applicable to issuance of inventories Inventories are measured at actual cost at recognition. The actual cost of an item of inventories comprises the purchase cost, cost of processing and other costs. Inventories are 40 Anhui Gujing Distillery Company Limited Notes to the Financial Statements issued at weighted average cost. 3.12.3 Inventory system The perpetual inventory system is adopted. The inventories should be counted at least once a year, and surplus or losses of inventory stocktaking shall be included in current profit and loss. 3.12.4 Provision for impairment of inventory Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value. The excess of cost over net realisable value of the inventories is recognised as provision for impairment of inventory, and recognised in current profit or loss. Net realizable value of the inventory should be determined on the basis of reliable evidence obtained, and factors such as purpose of holding the inventory and impact of post balance sheet event shall be considered. 3.12.4.1 In normal operation process, finished goods, products and materials for direct sale, their net realizable values are determined at estimated selling prices less estimated selling expenses and relevant taxes and surcharges; for inventories held to execute sales contract or service contract, their net realizable values are calculated on the basis of contract price. If the quantities of inventories specified in sales contracts are less than the quantities held by the Company, the net realizable value of the excess portion of inventories shall be based on general selling prices. Net realizable value of materials held for sale shall be measured based on market price. 3.12.4.2 For materials in stock need to be processed, in the ordinary course of production and business, net realisable value is determined at the estimated selling price less the estimated costs of completion, the estimated selling expenses and relevant taxes. If the net realisable value of the finished products produced by such materials is higher than the cost, the materials shall be measured at cost; if a decline in the price of materials indicates that the cost of the finished products exceeds its net realisable value, the materials are measured at net realisable value and differences shall be recognised at the provision for impairment. 3.12.4.3 Provisions for inventory impairment are generally determined on an individual basis. For inventories with large quantity and low unit price, the provisions for inventory impairment are determined on a category basis. 3.12.4.4 If any factor rendering write-downs of the inventories has been eliminated at the 41 Anhui Gujing Distillery Company Limited Notes to the Financial Statements reporting date, the amounts written down are recovered and reversed to the extent of the inventory impairment, which has been provided for. The reversal shall be included in profit or loss. 3.12.5 Amortisation method of low-value consumables A low-value consumable is amortised in full upon issuance. A packaging material is amortised in full upon issuance. 3.13. Contract assets and contract liabilities Contract assets and contract liabilities are reocgnised on the basis of fulfilment of performance obligations and payment received from clients. A right to receive a promised consideration from a client resulting from goods transferred to or services provided to the client (where the right to consideration is dependent on factors other than the passage of time) is reocgnised a contract asset. A payment received from a client for which goods shall be transferred to or services shall be provided to the client is recognised as a contract liability. See Note 3.10 for impairment of contract assets. Contract assets and contract liabilities are presentd as line items on the statement of financial position. A contract asset and contract liability arising from one contract are presented in net; while the net amount is a debit balance, it is presented in contract assets or other non-current assets depending on liquidity; while the net amount is a credit balance, it is presented in contract liabilities or other non-current liabilities depending on liquidity. Contract assets and contract liabilities arising form different contracts are not be offset. 3.14 Contract costs Costs for a contract include costs to fulfill the contract and costs to obtain the contract. An asset is recognised for the costs incurred to fulfill a contract on if those costs meet all of the following criteria: I. the costs are directly associated with a contract or an anticipated contract, explicitly chargeable to the client under the contract, incurred only for the contract; II. the costs generate or enhance resouces of the Company that will be used in satisfying performance obligations in the future; and III. the costs are expected to be recovered. 42 Anhui Gujing Distillery Company Limited Notes to the Financial Statements An asset is recognised for the costs incurred to obtain a contract with a client if those costs are expected to be recovered. An asset recognised for the costs of a contract are amortised on a systematic basis that is consistent with recognition of revenue arising from the contract. Where the costs incurred to obtain a contract would be amortised for a period less than one year should they be recognised as an asset, the costs are recognised in the current profit or loss as incurred. An impairment is recognised for an asset recognised for the costs of a contract to the extent that the carrying amount of the asset exceeds: I. the remaining amount of consideration that is expected to be received in exchange for the goods or services to which the asset relates; less II. the costs that relate directly to providing those goods or services and that have not been recognised as expenses. Upon recognition of the impairment, further consideration is given for provision for an onerous contract, in necessary. A reversal of some or all of an impairment loss previously recognised for an asset for the costs of a contract when the impairment conditions no longer exist or have improved. The increased carrying amount of the asset is cappted by the amount that would have been determined (net of amortisation) if no impairment loss had been recognised previously. An asset recognised for the costs to fulfill a contract is presented in inventories if its amortisation is not longer than 1 year or an operating cycle upon initial recognition; otherwise, it is presented in other non-current assets. An asset recognised for the costs to obtain a contract is presented in other current assets if its amortisation is not longer than 1 year or an operating cycle upon initial recognition; otherwise, it is presented in other non-current assets. 3.15 Long-term equity investments Long-term equity investments refer to equity investments where an investor has control of, or significant influence over, an investee, as well as equity investments in joint ventures. Associates of the Company are those entities over which the Company has significant influence. 3.15.1 Determination basis of joint control or significant influence over the investee 43 Anhui Gujing Distillery Company Limited Notes to the Financial Statements Joint control is the relevant agreed sharing of control over an arrangement, and the arranged relevant activity must be decided under unanimous consent of the parties sharing control. In assessing whether the Company has joint control of an arrangement, the Company shall assess first whether all the parties, or a group of the parties, control the arrangement. When all the parties, or a group of the parties, considered collectively, are able to direct the activities of the arrangement, the parties control the arrangement collectively. Then the Company shall assess whether decisions about the relevant activities require the unanimous consent of the parties that collectively control the arrangement. If two or more groups of the parties could control the arrangement collectively, it shall not be assessed as have joint control of the arrangement. When assessing the joint control, the protective rights are not considered. Significant influence is the power to participate in the financial and operating policy decisions of the investee but is not control or joint control of those policies. In determination of significant influence over an investee, the Company should consider not only the existing voting rights directly or indirectly held but also the effect of potential voting rights held by the Company and other entities that could be currently exercised or converted, including the effect of share warrants, share options and convertible corporate bonds that issued by the investee and could be converted in current period. If the Company holds, directly or indirectly 20% or more but less than 50% of the voting power of the investee, it is presumed that the Company has significant influence of the investee, unless it can be clearly demonstrated that in such circumstance, the Company cannot participate in the decision-making in the production and operating of the investee. 3.15.2 Determination of initial investment cost 3.15.2.1 Long-term equity investments arising from business combination 3.15.2.1.1 For a business combination involving enterprises under common control, if the Company makes payment in cash, transfers non-cash assets or bears liabilities as the consideration for the business combination, the share of carrying amount of the owners’ equity of the acquiree in the consolidated financial statements of the ultimate controlling party is recognised as the initial cost of the long-term equity investment on the combination date. The difference between the initial investment cost and the carrying amount of cash paid, non-cash assets transferred and liabilities assumed shall be adjusted against the capital reserve; if capital reserve is not enough to be offset, undistributed profit shall be offset in turn. 3.15.2.1.2 For a business combination involving enterprises under common control, if the 44 Anhui Gujing Distillery Company Limited Notes to the Financial Statements Company issues equity securities as the consideration for the business combination, the share of carrying amount of the owners’ equity of the acquiree in the consolidated financial statements of the ultimate controlling party is recognised as the initial cost of the long-term equity investment on the combination date. The total par value of the shares issued is recognised as the share capital. The difference between the initial investment cost and the carrying amount of the total par value of the shares issued shall be adjusted against the capital reserve; if capital reserve is not enough to be offset, undistributed profit shall be offset in turn. 3.15.2.1.3 For business combination not under common control, the assets paid, liabilities incurred or assumed and the fair value of equity securities issued to obtain the control of the acquiree at the acquisition date shall be determined as the cost of the business combination and recognised as the initial cost of the long-term equity investment. The audit, legal, valuation and advisory fees, other intermediary fees, and other relevant general administrative costs incurred for the business combination, shall be recognised in profit or loss as incurred. 3.15.2.2 Long-term equity investments not arising from business combination 3.15.2.2.1 For long-term equity investments acquired by payments in cash, the initial cost is the actually paid purchase cost, including the expenses, taxes and other necessary expenditures directly related to the acquisition of long-term equity investments. 3.15.2.2.2 For long-term equity investments acquired through issuance of equity securities, the initial cost is the fair value of the issued equity securities. 3.15.2.2.3 For the long-term equity investments obtained through exchange of non-monetary assets, if the exchange has commercial substance, and the fair values of assets traded out and traded in can be measured reliably, the initial cost of long-term equity investment traded in with non-monetary assets are determined based on the fair values of the assets traded out together with relevant taxes. Difference between fair value and book value of the assets traded out is recorded in current profit or loss. If the exchange of non-monetary assets does not meet the above criterion, the book value of the assets traded out and relevant taxes are recognised as the initial investment cost. 3.15.2.2.4 For long-term equity investment acquired through debt restructuring, the initial cost is measured at the fair value of the equity investment obtained. Difference between the fair value of the equity investment obtained and the book value of the debt given away is recognised in current profit or loss. 45 Anhui Gujing Distillery Company Limited Notes to the Financial Statements 3.15.3 Subsequent measurement and recognition of profit or loss Long-term equity investment to an entity over which the Company has ability of control shall be accounted for at cost method. Long-term equity investment to a joint venture or an associate shall be accounted for at equity method. 3.15.3.1 Cost method For Long-term equity investment at cost method, cost of the long-term equity investment shall be adjusted when additional amount is invested or a part of it is withdrawn. The Company recognises its share of cash dividends or profits which have been declared to distribute by the investee as current investment income. 3.15.3.2 Equity method If the initial cost of the investment is in excess of the share of the fair value of the net identifiable assets in the investee at the date of investment, the difference shall not be adjusted to the initial cost of long-term equity investment; if the initial cost of the investment is in short of the share of the fair value of the net identifiable assets in the investee at the date investment, the difference shall be included in the current profit or loss and the initial cost of the long-term equity investment shall be adjusted accordingly. The Company recognises the share of the investee’s net profits or losses, as well as its share of the investee’s other comprehensive income, as investment income or losses and other comprehensive income respectively, and adjusts the carrying amount of the investment accordingly. The carrying amount of the investment shall be reduced by the share of any profit or cash dividends declared to distribute by the investee. The investor’s share of the investee’s owners’ equity changes, other than those arising from the investee’s net profit or loss, other comprehensive income or profit distribution, shall be recognised in the investor’s equity, and the carrying amount of the long-term equity investment shall be adjusted accordingly. The Company recognises its share of the investee’s net profits or losses after making appropriate adjustments of investee’s net profit based on the fair values of the investee’s identifiable net assets at the investment date. If the accounting policy and accounting period adopted by the investee is not in consistency with the Company, the financial statements of the investee shall be adjusted according to the Company’s accounting policies and accounting period, based on which, investment income or loss and other comprehensive income, etc., shall be adjusted. The unrealized profits or losses resulting from inter-company transactions between the company and its associate or joint venture are 46 Anhui Gujing Distillery Company Limited Notes to the Financial Statements eliminated in proportion to the company’s equity interest in the investee, based on which investment income or losses shall be recognised. Any losses resulting from inter-company transactions between the investor and the investee, which belong to asset impairment, shall be recognised in full. Where the Company obtains the power of joint control or significant influence, but not control, over the investee, due to additional investment or other reason, the relevant long-term equity investment shall be accounted for by using the equity method, initial cost of which shall be the fair value of the original investment plus the additional investment. Where the original investment is classified as Other equity instrument investment, difference between its fair value and the carrying value, in addition to the cumulative gain or loss previously recorded in other comprehensive income, shall be recogised into current profit or loss at the time when the equity method becomes applicable. If the Company loses the joint control or significant influence of the investee for some reasons such as disposal of equity investment, the retained interest shall be measured at fair value and the difference between the carrying amount and the fair value at the date of loss the joint control or significant influence shall be recognised in profit or loss. When the Company discontinues the use of the equity method, the Company shall account for all amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income under equity method in relation to that investment on the same basis as would have been required if the investee had directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities. 3.15.4 Held-for-sale equity investments The remaining equity investment after partial disposal, which is not classified as held-for-sale, is accounted for by the equity method. If a held-for-sale equity investment no longer satisfies the conditions for classifying as held-for-sale, it is retrospectively adjusted from the date on which it was classified as held-for-sale using the equity method. The financial statements for the period during which the investment was classified as held-for-sale are respectively restated. 3.15.5 Impairment of long-term equity investments See Note 3.22 for details. 3.16 Investment properties 47 Anhui Gujing Distillery Company Limited Notes to the Financial Statements 3.16.1 Classification Investment properties are properties to earn rentals or for capital appreciation or both, including: I. Land use right leased out; II. Land held for transfer upon appreciation; III. Buildings leased out. 3.16.2 Measurement Investment properties are subsequently measured by the cost method. See Note 3.22 for impairment of investment properties. The residual after deducting the scrap value and cumulative impairment from the historical cost of an item of investment properties is depreciated or amortised using the straight-line method. 3.17 Fixed assets Fixed assets refer to the tangible assets with higher unit price held for the purpose of producing commodities, rendering services, renting or business management with useful lives exceeding one year. 3.17.1 Recognition Fixed assets will only be recognised at the actual cost paid when obtaining as all the following criteria are satisfied: I. It is probable that the economic benefits relating to the fixed assets will flow into the Company; II. The costs of the fixed assets can be measured reliably. Subsequent expenditure for fixed assets shall be recorded in cost of fixed assets, if recognition criteria of fixed assets are satisfied, otherwise the expenditure shall be recorded in current profit or loss when incurred. 3.17.2 Depreciation The Company begins to depreciate the fixed asset from the next month after it is available for 48 Anhui Gujing Distillery Company Limited Notes to the Financial Statements intended use using the straight-line-method. The estimated useful life and annual depreciation rates which are determined according to the categories. The estimated economic useful lives and estimated net residual rates of fixed assets are listed as followings: Depreciation Category Useful life in years Scrap value rate (%) Annual depreciation rate (%) method Houses and buildings Straight line 8.00-35.00 3.00-5.00 2.70-12.10 Machinery Straight line 8.00-10.00 3.00-5.00 9.50-12.10 Transportation vehicles Straight line 4.00 3.00 24.25 Administrative and Straight line 3.00 3.00 32.33 other devices For the fixed assets with impairment provided, the impairment provision should be excluded from the cost when calculating depreciation. At the end of reporting period, the Company shall review the useful life, estimated net residual value and depreciation method of the fixed assets. Estimated useful life of the fixed assets shall be adjusted if it is changed compared to the original estimation. 3.17.3 Fixed assets acquired through financial lease Where a leasing arrangement transfers substantially all risks and rewards associated with the leased item to the Group, the lease is regarded as a finance lease and the leased item is recognised as an item of fixed assets. An item of fixed asset obtained from a finance lease is measured upon recognition at the lower of the fair value of the leased item and the present value of the minimum lease payment as of the lease inception date. An item of fixed asset obtained through a finance lease is depreciated in accordance with the depreciation method applicable to the category of fixed assets to which the lease item belongs. If it is reasonably certain that ownership of the lease item will transfer to the Group upon expiry of the lease, the leased item is depreciated over its useful life; if, however, transfer of ownership of the leased item upon expiry of the lease to the Group cannot be reasonably expected, the leased item is depreciated over the shorter of its useful life and the lease term. 3.18 Construction in progress 3.18.1 Construction in progress is measured on an individual project basis. 3.18.2 Transfer to fixed assets 49 Anhui Gujing Distillery Company Limited Notes to the Financial Statements The initial book values of the fixed assets are stated at total expenditures incurred before they are ready for their intended use, including construction costs, original price of machinery equipment, other necessary expenses incurred to bring the construction in progress to get ready for its intended use and borrowing costs of the specific loan for the construction or the proportion of the general loan used for the constructions incurred before they are ready for their intended use. The construction in progress shall be transferred to fixed asset when the installation or construction is ready for the intended use. For construction in progress that has been ready for their intended use but relevant budgets for the completion of projects have not been completed, the estimated values of project budgets, prices, or actual costs should be included in the costs of relevant fixed assets, and depreciation should be provided according to relevant policies of the Company when the fixed assets are ready for intended use. After the completion of budgets needed for the completion of projects, the estimated values should be substituted by actual costs, but depreciation already provided is not adjusted. 3.19 Right-of-use assets At the lease commencement date, a right-of-use asset is measured at cost. The cost of a right-of-use asset comprise: I. the amount of the initial measurement of the lease liability; II. any lease payments made at or before the commencement date, less any lease incentives received; III. any initial direct costs incurred by the Group; and IV. an estimate of costs to be incurred by the Group in dismantling and removing the underlying asset, restoring the site on which it is located or restoring the underlying asset to the condition required by the terms and conditions of the lease, unless those costs are incurred to produce inventories. A right-of-use asset is subsequently measured at cost. If it is reasonably certain that ownership of the lease item will transfer to the Group upon expiry of the lease, the leased item is depreciated over its useful life; if, however, transfer of ownership of the leased item upon expiry of the lease to the Group cannot be reasonably expected, the leased item is depreciated over the shorter of its useful life and the lease term. Where a leased item has recorded impairment, its residual value after deducting the impairment allowance is depreciated in 50 Anhui Gujing Distillery Company Limited Notes to the Financial Statements accordance the principle described in this paragraph. 3.20 Borrowing costs 3.20.1 Capitalisation The Company shall capitalize the borrowing costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of qualifying assets when meet the following conditions: I. Expenditures for the asset are being incurred; II. Borrowing costs are being incurred, and; III. Acquisition, construction or production activities that are necessary to prepare the assets for their intended use or sale are in progress. Other borrowing cost, discounts or premiums on borrowings and exchange differences on foreign currency borrowings shall be recognized into current profit or loss when incurred. Capitalization of borrowing costs is suspended during periods in which the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset is interrupted abnormally and the interruption is for a continuous period of more than 3 months. Capitalization of such borrowing costs ceases when the qualifying assets being acquired, constructed or produced become ready for their intended use or sale. The expenditure incurred subsequently shall be recognised as expenses when incurred. 3.20.2 Capitalisation rate and capitalised amount When funds are borrowed specifically for purchase, construction or manufacturing of assets eligible for capitalization, the Company shall determine the amount of borrowing costs eligible for capitalisation as the actual borrowing costs incurred on that borrowing during the period less any interest income on bank deposit or investment income on the temporary investment of those borrowings. Where funds allocated for purchase, construction or manufacturing of assets eligible for capitalisation are part of a general borrowing, the eligible amounts are determined by the weighted-average of the cumulative capital expenditures in excess of the specific borrowing multiplied by the general borrowing capitalization rate. The capitalization rate will be the weighted average of the borrowing costs applicable to the general borrowing. 51 Anhui Gujing Distillery Company Limited Notes to the Financial Statements 3.21 Intangible assets 3.21.1 Initial measurement An intangible assets is initial measured at the actual cost of acquisition 3.21.2 Useful lives 3.21.2.1 Intangible assets with define useful lives Category Useful life in years Basis for useful life determination Land use rights 40-50 Legal right to use Patents 10 Period that the asset can generate economic benefits Software 3-5 Period that the asset can generate economic benefits Trademarks 10 Period that the asset can generate economic benefits For intangible assets with finite useful life, the estimated useful life and amortisation method are reviewed annually at the end of each reporting period and adjusted when necessary. No change incur in current year in the estimated useful life and amortisation method upon review. 3.21.2.2 Assets of which the period to bring economic benefits to the Company are unforeseeable are regarded as intangible assets with indefinite useful lives. The Company reassesses the useful lives of those assets at every year end. If the useful lives of those assets are still indefinite, impairment test should be performed on those assets at the balance sheet date. 3.21.2.3 Amortisation For intangible assets with finite useful lives, their useful lives should be determined upon their acquisition and systematically amortised on a straight-line basis [units of production method] over the useful life. The amortisation amount shall be recognized into current profit or loss according to the beneficial items. The amount to be amortised is cost deducting residual value. For intangible assets which has impaired, the cumulative impairment provision shall be deducted as well. The residual value of an intangible asset with a finite useful life shall be assumed to be zero unless: there is a commitment by a third party to purchase the asset at the end of its useful life; or there is an active market for the asset and residual value can be determined by reference to that market; and it is probable that such a market will exist at the end of the asset’s useful life. Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives shall not be amortised. The Company reassesses 52 Anhui Gujing Distillery Company Limited Notes to the Financial Statements the useful lives of those assets at every year end. If there is evidence to indicate that the useful lives of those assets become finite, the useful lives shall be estimated and the intangible assets shall be amortised systematically and reasonably within the estimated useful lives. 3.21.3 Research and development expenditure 3.21.3.1 Preparation activities related to materials and other relevant aspects undertaken by the Company for the purpose of further development shall be treated as research phase. Expenditures incurred during the research phase of internal research and development projects shall be recognised in profit or loss when incurred. 3.21.3.2 Development activities after the research phase of the Company shall be treated as development phase. 3.21.4 Capitalisation of research and development expenditure Expenditures arising from development phase on internal research and development projects shall be recognised as intangible assets only if all of the following conditions have been met: I. Technical feasibility of completing the intangible assets so that they will be available for use or sale; II. Its intention to complete the intangible asset and use or sell it; III. The method that the intangible assets generate economic benefits, including the Company can demonstrate the existence of a market for the output of the intangible assets or the intangible assets themselves or, if it is to be used internally, the usefulness of the intangible assets; IV. The availability of adequate technical, financial and other resources to complete the development and to use or sell the intangible asset; and V. Its ability to measure reliably the expenditure attributable to the intangible asset. 3.22 Impairment of long-term assets Impairment loss of long-term equity investment in subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures, investment properties, fixed assets, constructions in progress, and intangible assets subsequently measured at cost shall be determined according to following method: The Company shall assess at the end of each reporting period whether there is any indication that an asset may be impaired. If any such indication exists, the Company shall estimate the recoverable amount of the asset and test for impairment. Irrespective of whether there is any 53 Anhui Gujing Distillery Company Limited Notes to the Financial Statements indication of impairment, the Company shall test for impairment of goodwill acquired in a business combination, intangible assets with an indefinite useful life or intangible assets not yet available for use annually. The recoverable amounts of the long-term assets are the higher of their fair values less costs to dispose and the present values of the estimated future cash flows of the long-term assets. The Company estimate the recoverable amounts on an individual basis. If it is difficult to estimate the recoverable amount of the individual asset, the Company estimates the recoverable amount of the groups of assets that the individual asset belongs to. Identification of an group of asset is based on whether the cash inflows from it are largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets. If, and only if, the recoverable amount of an asset or a group of assets is less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset shall be reduced to its recoverable amount and the provision for impairment loss shall be recognised accordingly. For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill acquired in a business combination shall, from the acquisition date, be allocated to relevant group of assets based on reasonable method; if it is difficult to allocate to relevant group of assets, good will shall be allocated to relevant combination of asset groups. The relevant group of assets or combination of asset groups is a group of assets or combination of asset groups that is benefit from the synergies of the business combination and is not larger than the reporting segment determined by the Company. When test for impairment, if there is an indication that relevant group of assets or combination of asset groups may be impaired, impairment testing for group of assets or combination of asset groups excluding goodwill shall be conducted first, and calculate the recoverable amount and recognize the impairment loss. Then the group of assets or combination of asset groups including goodwill shall be tested for impairment, by comparing the carrying amount with its recoverable amount. If the recoverable amount is less than the carrying amount, the Company shall recognise the impairment loss. The mentioned impairment loss will not be reversed in subsequent accounting period once it had been recognised. 3.23 Long-term deferred expenses 54 Anhui Gujing Distillery Company Limited Notes to the Financial Statements Long-term deferred expenses are various expenses already incurred, which shall be amortised over current and subsequent periods with the amortisation period exceeding one year. Long-term deferred expenses are evenly amortised over the beneficial period. 3.24 Employee benefits Employee benefits refer to all forms of consideration or compensation given by the Company in exchange for service rendered by employees or for the termination of employment relationship. Employee benefits include short-term employee benefits, post-employment benefits, termination benefits and other long-term employee benefits. Benefits provided to an employee's spouse, children, dependents, family members of decreased employees, or other beneficiaries are also employee benefits. According to liquidity, employee benefits are presented in the statement of financial position as “Employee benefits payable” and “Long-term employee benefits payable”. 3.24.1 Short-term employee benefits 3.24.1.1 Salaries, wages, allowances and subsidies The Company recognises, in the accounting period in which an employee provides service, actually occurred short-term employee benefits as a liability, with a corresponding charge to current profit except for those recognised as capital expenditure based on the requirement of accounting standards. 3.24.1.2 Welfare The Company shall recognise the employee welfare based on actual amount when incurred into current profit or loss or related capital expenditure. Employee welfare shall be measured at fair value as it is a non-monetary benefits. 3.24.1.3 Social securities such as medical insurance and work-place injury insurance, housing funds, labor union fund and employee education fund Payments made by the Company of social insurance for employees, such as medical insurance and work-place injury insurance, payments of housing funds, and labor union fund and employee education fund accrued in accordance with relevant requirements, in the accounting period in which employees provide services, is calculated according to required accrual bases and accrual ratio in determining the amount of employee benefits and the related liabilities, which shall be recognised in current profit or loss or the cost of relevant asset. 3.24.1.4 Short-term paid absences 55 Anhui Gujing Distillery Company Limited Notes to the Financial Statements The company shall recognise the related employee benefits arising from accumulating paid absences when the employees render service that increases their entitlement to future paid absences. The additional payable amounts shall be measured at the expected additional payments as a result of the unused entitlement that has accumulated. The Company shall recognise relevant employee benefit of non-accumulating paid absences when the absences actually occurred. 3.24.1.5 Short-term profit-sharing plan The Company shall recognise the related employee benefits payable under a profit-sharing plan when all of the following conditions are satisfied: I. The Company has a present legal or constructive obligation to make such payments as a result of past events; and II. A reliable estimate of the amounts of employee benefits obligation arising from the profit- sharing plan can be made. 3.24.2 Post-employement benefits 3.24.2.1 Defined contribution plans The Company shall recognise, in the accounting period in which an employee provides service, the contribution payable to a defined contribution plan as a liability, with a corresponding charge to the current profit or loss or the cost of a relevant asset. When contributions to a defined contribution plan are not expected to be settled wholly before twelve months after the end of the annual reporting period in which the employees render the related service, they shall be discounted using relevant discount rate (market yields at the end of the reporting period on high quality corporate bonds in active market or government bonds with the currency and term which shall be consistent with the currency and estimated term of the defined contribution obligations) to measure employee benefits payable. 3.24.2.2 Defined benefit plans I. Present value of defined benefit obligation and current service costs Based on the expected accumulative welfare unit method, the Company shall make estimates about demographic variables and financial variables in adopting the unbiased and consistent actuarial assumptions and measure defined benefit obligation, and determine the obligation period. The Company shall discount the obligation arising from defined benefit plan using 56 Anhui Gujing Distillery Company Limited Notes to the Financial Statements relevant discount rate (market yields at the end of the reporting period on high quality corporate bonds in active market or government bonds with the currency and term which shall be consistent with the currency and estimated term of the defined benefit obligations) in order to determine the present value of the defined benefit obligation and the current service cost. II. Net assets or liabilities of a defined benefit plan The net defined benefit liability (asset) is the deficit or surplus recognised as the present value of the defined benefit obligation less the fair value of plan assets (if any). When the Company has a surplus in a defined benefit plan, it shall measure the net defined benefit asset at the lower of the surplus in the defined benefit plan and the asset ceiling. III. Amount recognised as plan assets or charged to the current profit or loss Service cost comprises current service cost, past service cost and any gain or loss on settlement. Other service cost shall be recognised in profit or loss unless accounting standards require or allow the inclusion of current service cost within the cost of assets. Net interest on the net defined benefit liability (asset) comprising interest income on plan assets, interest cost on the defined benefit obligation and interest on the effect of the asset ceiling, shall be included in profit or loss. IV. Amount recognised in other comprehensive income Changes in the net liability or asset of the defined benefit plan resulting from the remeasurements including: i. Actuarial gains and losses, the changes in the present value of the defined benefit obligation resulting from experience adjustments or the effects of changes in actuarial assumptions; ii. Return on plan assets, excluding amounts included in net interest on the net defined benefit liability or asset; iii. Any change in the effect of the asset ceiling, excluding amounts included in net interest on the net defined benefit liability (asset). Remeasurements of the net defined benefit liability (asset) recognised in other comprehensive income shall not be reclassified to profit or loss in a subsequent period. However, the Company may transfer those amounts recognised in other comprehensive income within equity. 57 Anhui Gujing Distillery Company Limited Notes to the Financial Statements 3.24.3 Termination benefits The Company providing termination benefits to employees shall recognise an employee benefits liability for termination benefits, with a corresponding charge to the profit or loss of the reporting period, at the earlier of the following dates: I. When the Company cannot unilaterally withdraw the offer of termination benefits because of an employment termination plan or a curtailment proposal; or II. When the Company recognises costs or expenses related to a restructuring that involves the payment of termination benefits. If the termination benefits are not expected to be settled wholly before twelve months after the end of the annual reporting period, the Company shall discount the termination benefits using relevant discount rate (market yields at the end of the reporting period on high quality corporate bonds in active market or government bonds with the currency and term which shall be consistent with the currency and estimated term of the defined benefit obligations) to measure the employee benefits. 3.24.4 Other long-term employee benefits 3.24.4.1 Other long-term employee beneifts satisfying the recognition conditions applicable to defined contribution plans When other long-term employee benefits provided by the Company to the employees satisfies the conditions for classifying as a defined contribution plan, all those benefits payable shall be accounted for as employee benefits payable at their discounted value. 3.24.4.2 Other long-term employee benefits satisfying the recognition conditions applicable to defined benefit plans At the end of the reporting period, the Company recognised the cost of employee benefit from other long-term employee benefits as the following components: I. Service costs; II. Net interest cost for net liability or asset of other long-term employee benefits; III. Changes resulting from the remeasurements of the net liability or asset of other long-term employee benefits. In order to simplify the accounting treatment, the net amount of above items shall be recognised in profit or loss or relevant cost of assets. 58 Anhui Gujing Distillery Company Limited Notes to the Financial Statements 3.25 Lease liabilities At the commencement date, the Group measures the lease liability at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at that date. The lease payments comprise: I. fixed payments, or in-substance fixed payments, less any lease incentives receivable; II. variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate; III. the exercise price of a purchase option if the Group is reasonably certain to exercise that option; IV. payments of penalties for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects the Group exercising an option to terminate the lease; and V. amounts expected to be payable by the Group under residual value guarantees. The lease payments shall be discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease, if that rate can be readily determined. If that rate cannot be readily determined, the lessee shall use the lessee’s incremental borrowing rate. The excess of the lease payments over its present value is amortised over the lease term as interest expenses using the discount rate. A variable lease payment which is not included in the initial measurement of the lease liability is recognised in profit or loss when incurred. 3.26 Provisions 3.26.1 Recognition A provision is recognised for an obligation associated with a contingent event when the following conditions are satisfied: I. The obligation is a present obligation assumed by the entity; II. It is probable that fulfillment of the obligation will result in outflows of economic benefits from the entity; III. The amount of the obligation can be reliably measured. 3.26.2 Measurement A provision is initially measured at the best estimate of expenses required for the performance of relevant present obligations. The Company, when determining the best estimate, has had a comprehensive consideration of risks with respect to contingencies, uncertainties and the time value of money. The carrying amount of the provision shall be reviewed at the end of every reporting period. If conclusive evidences indicate that the carrying amount fails to be the best 59 Anhui Gujing Distillery Company Limited Notes to the Financial Statements estimate of the provision, the carrying amount shall be adjusted based on the updated best estimate. 3.27 Revenue 3.27.1 General policy Revenue is total economic inflows arising from the Company’s daily operation which result in increases in equity, other than those relating to contributions from holders of equity claims. The Company recognises revenue when (or as) the Company satisfies a performance obligation by transferring a promised good or service (ie an asset) to a customer. An asset is transferred when (or as) the customer obtains control of that asset. A customer has control of an asset when (or as) the customer has the ability to direct the use of, and obtain substantially all of the remaining benefits from, the asset. Where a contract include two or more performance obligations, the Company allocate the transaction price, upon inception of the contract, to each performance obligation identified in the contract on a relative stand-alone selling price basis, revenue associated with each performance obligation is measured at the allocated price. The transaction price is the amount of consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring promised goods or services to a customer, excluding amounts collected on behalf of third parties. If the consideration promised in a contract includes a variable amount, the Company estimates the amount of consideration to which the Company will be entitled in exchange for transferring the promised goods or services to a customer to the extent that it is highly probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognised will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is subsequently resolved. Where a contract contains a significant financing component, the Company recognizes revenue at an amount that reflects the price that a customer would have paid for the promised goods or services if the customer had paid cash for those goods or services when (or as) they transfer to the customer (ie the cash selling price); the difference between the amount of promised consideration and the cash selling price of the promised goods or services is amortised over the life of the contract using the effective interest rate method. The Company does not adjust the promised amount of consideration for the effects of a significant financing component if the Comopany expects, at contract inception, that the period between when the Company transfers a promised good or service to a customer and when the customer pays for that good or service will be one year or less. 60 Anhui Gujing Distillery Company Limited Notes to the Financial Statements The Company transfers control of a good or service over time and, therefore, satisfies a performance obligation and recognises revenue over time, if one of the following criteria is met: I. the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits provided by the Company’s performance as the entity performs; II. the Company’s performance creates or enhances an asset that the customer controls as the asset is created or enhanced; or III. the Company’s performance does not create an asset with an alternative use to the Company and the Company has an enforceable right to payment for performance completed to date. For each performance obligation satisfied over time, the Company recognises revenue over time by measuring the progress towards complete satisfaction of that performance obligation, unless the progress towards complete satisfaction cannot be reliably measured. The Company uses either the input method or output method to measure the progress towards complete satisfaction of a performance obligation. When the progress towards complete satisfaction of a performance obligation cannot be reliably measured, the Company recognises revenue only to the extent of the costs incurred until such time that it can reasonably measure the outcome of the performance obligation. Where a performance obligation is satisfied at a point in time, the Company recognises revenue when (or as) the customer obtains control of the transferred asset (either goods or service). To determine the point in time at which a customer obtains control of a promised asset, the Company considers the following indicators: I. The Company has a present right to payment for the asset, ie. the customer has the present obligation to pay for the asset. II. The legal title to the asset has been transferred to the customer, ie. the customer has the legal title to the asset. III. The Company has transferred physical possession of the asset, ie. the customer has physical possession of the asset. IV. The significant risks and rewards of ownership of the asset has been transferred to the customer, ie. the customer has obtained the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the asset. 61 Anhui Gujing Distillery Company Limited Notes to the Financial Statements V. The customer has accepted the asset. VI. Other indication that the customer has obtained control over the asset. 3.27.2 Specific policies Revenue recognition methods of the Company are as follows: 3.27.2.1 Revenue from sales of goods According to the contract of sales of goods between the Company and the customer, the Company satisfies a performance obligation by transferring goods to the customer, which is a performance obligation satisfied at a point in time. Revenue from domestic sales of goods can only be recognised when the following conditions are satisfied: the Company has transferred the promised goods to the customer according to the contract and the customer has accepted the goods; the payment has been received or the receipt voucher has been obtained and it is highly probable that the economic benefits associated will flow into the Company; the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the asset has been transferred; legal title of the asset has been transferred. 3.27.2.2 Revenue from rendering of services The customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits provided by the Company’s performance as the Company performs,Company satisfies a performance obligation by rendering of services to the customer, which is a performance obligation satisfied over time. For each performance obligation satisfied over time, the Company shall recognise revenue over time by measuring the progress towards complete satisfaction of that performance obligation. The customer can’t simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits provided by the Company’s performance as the Company performs, the Company’s performance does not create an asset with an alternative use and the Company has no enforceable right to payment for performance completed to date at all times throughout the duration of the contract, Revenue from rendering of services is a performance obligation satisfied at a point in time.The company recognizes revenue when the company completes technical services in accordance with the contractual agreement 3.27.2.3 Revenue from usage of assets Revenue from usage of the Group’s assets is recognised if the revenue can be reliably 62 Anhui Gujing Distillery Company Limited Notes to the Financial Statements measured and it is probable that the associated economic benefits will flow to the Group. Revenue from usage of assets mainly includes the income from the leasing of premises and houses.Revenue measured in accordance with the method determined by the respective contracts. 3.28 Government grants 3.28.1 Recognition A government grant shall not be recgonised until there is reasonable assurance that: I. The Company will comply with the conditions attaching to them; and II. The grants will be received. 3.28.2 Measurement Monetary grants from the government shall be measured at amount received or receivable, and non-monetary grants from the government shall be measured at their fair value or at a nominal value of CNY 1.00 when reliable fair value is not available. 3.28.3 Accounting for government grant 3.28.3.1 Asset-related government grants Government grants pertinent to assets mean the government grants that are obtained by the Company used for purchase or construction, or forming the long-term assets by other ways. Government grants pertinent to assets shall be recognised as deferred income, and should be recognised in profit or loss on a systematic basis over the useful lives of the relevant assets. Grants measured at their nominal value shall be directly recognised in profit or loss of the period when the grants are received. When the relevant assets are sold, transferred, written off or damaged before the assets are terminated, the remaining deferred income shall be transferred into profit or loss of the period of disposing relevant assets. 3.28.3.2 Income-related government grants Government grants other than related to assets are classified as government grants related to income. Government grants related to income are accounted for in accordance with the following principles: If the government grants related to income are used to compensate the enterprise’s relevant expenses or losses in future periods, such government grants shall be recognised as deferred 63 Anhui Gujing Distillery Company Limited Notes to the Financial Statements income and included into profit or loss in the same period as the relevant expenses or losses are recognised; If the government grants related to income are used to compensate the enterprise’s relevant expenses or losses incurred, such government grants are directly recognised into current profit or loss. For government grants comprised of part related to assets as well as part related to income, each part is accounted for separately; if it is difficult to identify different part, the government grants are accounted for as government grants related to income as a whole. Government grants related to daily operation activities are recognised in other income in accordance with the nature of the activities, and government grants irrelevant to daily operation activities are recognised in non-operating income. 3.28.3.3 Loan interest subsidies When loan interest subsidy is allocated to the bank, and the bank provides a loan at lower-market rate of interest to the Company, the loan is recognised at the actual received amount, and the interest expense is calculated based on the principal of the loan and the lower-market rate of interest. When loan interest subsidy is directly allocated to the Company, the subsidy shall be recognised as offsetting the relevant borrowing cost. 3.28.3.4 Repayment of government grants Repayment of the government grants shall be recorded by increasing the carrying amount of the asset if the book value of the asset has been written down, or reducing the balance of relevant deferred income if deferred income balance exists, any excess will be recognised into current profit or loss; or directly recognised into current profit or loss for other circumstances. 3.29 Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities Temporary differences are differences between the carrying amount of an asset or liability in the statement of financial position and its tax base at the balance sheet date. The Company recognises and measures the effect of taxable temporary differences and deductible temporary differences on income tax as deferred tax liabilities or deferred tax assets using liability method. Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities shall not be discounted. 3.29.1 Recognition of deferred tax assets Deferred tax assets should be recognised for deductible temporary differences, the 64 Anhui Gujing Distillery Company Limited Notes to the Financial Statements carryforward of unused tax losses and the carryforward of unused tax credits to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences, the carryforward of unused tax losses and the carryforward of unused tax credits can be utilised at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realised, unless the deferred tax asset arises from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that: I. is not a business combination; and II. at the time of the transaction, affects neither accounting profit nor taxable profit (tax loss). The Company shall recognise a deferred tax asset for all deductible temporary differences arising from investments in subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures, only to the extent that, it is probable that: I. the temporary difference will reverse in the foreseeable future; and II. taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary difference can be utilised. At the end of each reporting period, if there is sufficient evidence that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary difference can be utilized, the Company recognises a previously unrecognised deferred tax asset. The carrying amount of a deferred tax asset shall be reviewed at the end of each reporting period. The Company shall reduce the carrying amount of a deferred tax asset to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow the benefit of part or all of that deferred tax asset to be utilised. Any such reduction shall be reversed to the extent that it becomes probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available. 3.29.2 Recognition of deferred tax liabilities A deferred tax liability shall be recognised for all taxable temporary differences at the tax rate that are expected to apply to the period when the liability is settled. No deferred tax liability shall be recognised for taxable temporary differences arising from: I. the initial recognition of goodwill; or II. the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction which: is not a business combination; and at the time of the transaction, affects neither accounting profit nor taxable profit (tax loss) 65 Anhui Gujing Distillery Company Limited Notes to the Financial Statements An entity shall recognise a deferred tax liability for all taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates, and joint ventures, except to the extent that both of the following conditions are satisfied: I. the Company is able to control the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference; and II. it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future. 3.29.3 Recognition of deferred tax liabilities or assets involved in special transactions or events 3.29.3.1 Deferred tax liabilities or assets related to business combination For the taxable temporary difference or deductible temporary difference arising from a business combination not under common control, a deferred tax liability or a deferred tax asset shall be recognised, and simultaneously, goodwill recognised in the business combination shall be adjusted based on relevant deferred tax expense (income). 3.29.3.2 Items directly recognised in equity Current tax and deferred tax related to items that are recognised directly in equity shall be recognised in equity. Such items include: other comprehensive income generated from fair value fluctuation of other debt investments; an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings resulting from either a change in accounting policy that is applied retrospectively or the correction of a prior period (significant) error; amounts arising on initial recognition of the equity component of a compound financial instrument that contains both liability and equity component. 3.29.3.3 Unused tax losses and unused tax credits 3.29.3.3.1 Unsused tax losses and unused tax credits generated from daily operation of the Company itself Deductible loss refers to the loss calculated and permitted according to the requirement of tax law that can be offset against taxable income in future periods. The criteria for recognising deferred tax assets arising from the carryforward of unused tax losses and tax credits are the same as the criteria for recognising deferred tax assets arising from deductible temporary differences. The Company recognises a deferred tax asset arising from unused tax losses or tax credits only to the extent that there is convincing other evidence that sufficient taxable profit will be available against which the unused tax losses or unused tax credits can be utilised by the Company. Income taxes in current profit or loss shall be deducted as well. 66 Anhui Gujing Distillery Company Limited Notes to the Financial Statements 3.29.3.3.2 Unsused tax losses and unused tax credits arising from a business combination Under a business combination, the acquiree’s deductible temporary differences which do not satisfy the criteria at the acquisition date for recognition of deferred tax asset shall not be recognised. Within 12 months after the acquisition date, if new information regarding the facts and circumstances exists at the acquisition date and the economic benefit of the acquiree’s deductible temporary differences at the acquisition is expected to be realised, the Company shall recognise acquired deferred tax benefits and reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill related to this acquisition. If goodwill is reduced to zero, any remaining deferred tax benefits shall be recognised in profit or loss. All other acquired deferred tax benefits realised shall be recognised in profit or loss. 3.29.3.4 Temporary difference generated in consolidation elimination When preparing consolidated financial statements, if temporary difference between carrying value of the assets and liabilities in the consolidated financial statements and their taxable bases is generated from elimination of inter-company unrealized profit or loss, deferred tax assets or deferred tax liabilities shall be recognised in the consolidated financial statements, and income taxes expense in current profit or loss shall be adjusted as well except for deferred tax related to transactions or events recognised directly in equity and business combination. 3.29.3.5 Share-based payment settled by equity If tax authority permits tax deduction that relates to share-based payment, during the period in which the expenses are recognised according to the accounting standards, the Company estimates the tax base in accordance with available information at the end of the accounting period and the temporary difference arising from it. Deferred tax shall be recognised when criteria of recognition are satisfied. If the amount of estimated future tax deduction exceeds the amount of the cumulative expenses related to share-based payment recognised according to the accounting standards, the tax effect of the excess amount shall be recognised directly in equity. 3.30 Leases 3.30.1 Identifying a lease At inception of a contract, the Company shall assess whether the contract is, or contains, alease. A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of one or more identified assets for a period of time in exchange for consideration. To assess 67 Anhui Gujing Distillery Company Limited Notes to the Financial Statements whether a contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time, the Company shall assess whether, throughout the period of use, the customer has the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from use of the identified asset and to direct the use of the identified asset. 3.30.2 Identifying a separate lease component When a contract includes more than one separate lease components, the Company shall separate components of the contract and account for each lease component separately. The right to use an underlying asset is a separate lease component if both conditions have been satisfied: a. the lessee can benefit from use of the underlying asset either on its own or together with other resources that are readily available to the lessee; b. the underlying asset is neither highly dependent on, nor highly interrelated with, the other underlying assets in the contract. 3.30.3 The Company as a lessee At the commencement date, the Company identifies the lease that has a lease term of 12 months or less and does not contain a purchase option as a short-term lease. A lease qualifies as a lease of a low-value asset if the nature of the asset is such that, when new, the asset is typically of low value. If the Company subleases an asset, or expects to sublease an asset, the head lease does not qualify as a lease of a low-value asset. For all asset included in short-term leases or leases for which the underlying asset is of low value/ all the short-term leases or leases for which the underlying asset is of low value, the Company shall recognise the lease payments associated with those leases as cost of relevant asset or expenses in current profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Except for the election of simple treatment as short-term lease or lease of a low-value asset as mentioned above, at the commencement date, the Company shall recognise a right-of-use asset and a lease liability. 3.30.3.1 Right-of-use assets A right-of-use asset represents the right of the Company to use an asset over the life of a lease. At the commencement date, the Company shall initially measure the right-of-use asset at cost. 68 Anhui Gujing Distillery Company Limited Notes to the Financial Statements The cost of the right-of-use asset shall comprise: (a) the amount of the initial measurement of the lease liability; (b) any lease payments made at or before the commencement date, less any lease incentives received; (c) any initial direct costs incurred by the lessee; and (d) an estimate of costs to be incurred by the lessee in dismantling and removing the underlying asset, restoring the site on which it is located or restoring the underlying asset to the condition required by the terms and conditions of the lease. The Company recognises and measures the cost in accordance with the recognition criteria and measurement method for estimated liabilities, details please refer to Notes 3.12. Those costs incurred to produce inventories shall be included in the cost of inventories. The right-of-use asset shall be depreciated according to the categories using straight‐ line method or units of production method. If it is reasonably certain that the ownership of the underlying asset shall be transferred to the lessee by the end of the lease term, the depreciation rate shall be determined based on the classification of the right-of- use asset and estimated residual value rate from the commencement date to the end of the useful life of the underlying asset. Otherwise, the depreciation rate shall be determined based on the classification of the right-of-use asset from the commencement date to the earlier of the end of the useful life of the right-of-use asset or the end of the lease term. 3.30.3.2 Lease liability A lease liability shall be measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the commencement date. The lease payments include the followings: (a) Fixed payments and in-substance fixed payments, less any lease incentives if exist; and (b) Variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate; and (c) The exercise price of a purchase option if the Company is reasonably certain to exercise that option; and (d) Payments of penalties for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects the lessee exercising an option to terminate the lease; and (e) Amounts expected to be payable by the lessee under residual value guarantees. 69 Anhui Gujing Distillery Company Limited Notes to the Financial Statements The Company uses the interest rate implicit in the lease to discount the lease ayments. If that rate cannot be readily determined, the Company uses the lessee’s incremental borrowing rate as discount rate. The difference between the lease payment and its present value shall be recognized as unrecognised financial charges, calculated bases on the discount rate of the present value of the lease payments in each period within the lease term and recorded as interest expense in current profit or loss. Variable lease payments not included in the measurement of lease liabilities shall be recognised in current profit or loss when incurred. After the commencement date, the Company shall remeasure the lease liability based on the revised present value of the lease payments and adjust the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset if there is a change in the in-substance fixed payments, or change in the amounts expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee, or change in an index or a rate used to determine lease payments, or change in the assessment or exercising of an option to purchase the underlying asset, or an option to extend or terminate the lease. 3.30.4 Lease modifications Where there is a modification on operating lease, the Company considers it to be a new lease from the effective date of the modification, and the advances from customer and receivables related to lease payments before the modification shall be considered as payments for new lease. 3.30.5 Sale and leaseback transactions The Company shall determine whether the transfer of an asset under the sale and leaseback transaction is a sale of that asset according to the policies in Note 3.27. 3.30.4.1 The Company as a seller (lessee) If the transfer of the asset is not a sale, the Company shall continue to recognise the transferred asset and shall recognise a financial liability equal to the transfer proceeds. It shall account for the financial liability according to Note 3.10. If the transfer of the asset is a sale, the Company shall measure the right-of-use asset arising from the leaseback at the proportion of the previous carrying amount of the asset that relates to the right of use retained by the Company. Accordingly, the Company shall recognise only the amount of any gain or loss that relates to the rights transferred to the buyer-lessor. 70 Anhui Gujing Distillery Company Limited Notes to the Financial Statements 3.30.4.2 The Company as a buyer (lessor) If the transfer of the asset is not a sale, the Company shall not recognise the ransferred asset and shall recognise a financial asset equal to the transfer proceeds. It shall account for the financial asset according to Note 3.10. If the transfer of the asset is a sale, the Company shall account for the purchase of the asset applying applicable Accounting Standards of Business Enterprises, and for the lease applying the lessor accounting requirements. 3.31 Change of significant accounting policies and significant accounting estimates 3.31.1 Change of significant accounting policies There is no Change of significant accounting policies in the current period. 3.31.2 Change of significant accounting estimates There is no change of significant accounting estimates in the current period.

Note 8 Risks associated with financial instruments Risks related to the financial instruments of the Company arise from the recognition of various financial assets and financial liabilities during its operation, including credit risk, liquidity risk and market risk. Management of the Company is responsible for determining risk management objectives and policies related to financial instruments. Operational management is responsible for the daily risk management through functional departments (e.g. credit management department of the Company reviews each credit sale). Internal audit department is responsible for the daily supervision of implementation of the risk management policies and procedures, and report their findings to the audit committee in a timely manner. Overall risk management objective of the Company is to establish risk management policies to minimize the risks without unduly affecting the competitiveness and resilience of the Company. 8.1 Credit risk Credit risk is the risk of one party of the financial instrument face to a financial loss because the other party of the financial instrument fails to fulfill its obligation. The credit risk of the Company is 126 Anhui Gujing Distillery Company Limited Notes to the Financial Statements related to monetary funds, notes receivable, accounts receivables, other receivables and long-term receivables. Credit risk of these financial assets is derived from the counterparty’s breach of contract. The maximum risk exposure is equal to the carrying amount of these financial instruments. Monetary funds of the Company has lower credit risk, as they are mainly deposited in financial institutions such as commercial banks, of which the Company believes with higher reputation and financial position. Notes receivable held by the Company mainly comprise bank acceptance which have relatively high liquidity. The Company has established necessary internal control policies that can ensure the safety of the maintenance and usage of notes and such policies have been implemented effectively. The Company believes that notes receivable have low credit risk. Accounts receivable mainly arising from sales. The Company makes sales only to customers with advanced credit worthiness and monitors accounts receivable on a continuous basis to ensure the occurrence of significant bad debts. The maximum risk exposure brought by financial instruments is their book value. The Company believes that the credit risk is relatively low. 8.2 Liquidity risk Liquidity risk is the risk of shortage of funds when fulfilling the obligation of settlement by delivering cash or other financial assets. The Company is responsible for the capital management of all of its subsidiaries, including short-term investment of cash surplus and dealing with forecasted cash demand by raising loans. The Company’s policy is to monitor the demand for short-term and long-term floating capital and whether the requirement of loan contracts is satisfied so as to ensure to maintain adequate cash and cash equivalents. 8.3 Market risk The market risk of a financial instrument refers to the risk on the fair value or future cash flows of the financial instrument brought by market factors. Market risk mainly comprises foreign exchange risk and interest risk. 8.3.1 Foreign currency risk Foreign currency risk of the Company mainly arise from foreign currency assets and liabilities 127 Anhui Gujing Distillery Company Limited Notes to the Financial Statements denominated in currency other than the Company’s functional currency. As the Company mainly operate in Mainland China with transactions mostly settled in CNY and very limited export activities, foreign currency risk is insignificant. 8.3.2 Interest risk Interest risk refers to the risk on the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument brought by the change of market interest rate. Interest risk mainly arises from bank loans. As of the statement date, the Company had no bank loan with a floating interest rate. 8.3.3 Other price risk Investments held for trading were measured at fair value. As such, these investments are subject to the risk brought by the change of security prices. The Company controls this risk to the acceptable level by utilising multiple investment mix.
