Section III Management Discussion and Analysis
I. Industry situation of the Company during the report period
1. Consumer field multichannel promotion of consumption upgrading for overall pressure on the household
appliance industry
In 2022, the overall pressure on sales in the household appliance industry has led to increasingly fierce market competition.
The penetration rate of emerging channels continues to grow, accelerating the integration of online and offline channels.
Gree's products in the consumption field cover residential air conditioners, HVAC, refrigerators, washing machines, water
heaters, kitchen appliances, and environmental products, etc. In 2022, the Company worked hard in the face of challenges
and changes. It has continuously improved its internal strength, upgraded its industry, deeply explored consumer demand,
and continuously innovated products providing to users, achieving steady growth in overall performance.
(1) The industry size of the household appliance experienced declines
In 2022, both the export and domestic market sales of the household appliance industry experienced varying declines in the
scale. The 2022 Annual Report of China's Household Appliance Industry issued by the National Household Appliance
Industry Information Center (NAIC) shows that the domestic sales volume of the household appliance industry in 2022 was
RMB730.72 billion, with a year-on-year decrease of 9.5%. Affected by factors such as global inflation and the complex and
volatile international situation, the export value of China's household appliances has decreased. In 2022, the export volume of
the household appliance industry was RMB568.16 billion, with a year-on-year decrease of 10.9%.
(2) The market size of the air conditioner declined in 2022
In 2022, the global and Chinese external environment of air conditioner markets was poor, with a significant decline in the
sales market size. The summary data released by All View Cloud (AVC) shows that the global market size of household air
conditioners in 2022 was 160 million sets, with a year-on-year decrease of 3.1%, and the domestic market size was 80.22
million sets, with a year-on-year decrease of 1.6%. Aircon's statistics show a 2.6% year-on-year decline in the overall market
capacity of central air conditioners in China in 2022.
(3) Increase in penetration rate of emerging channels changed the channel structure
With the changes in users' lifestyles, interests, and hobbies, the traditional offline sales have been shifting towards online.
The 2022 Annual Report of China's Household Appliance Industry issued by the NAIC shows that the online retail sales
volume of China's household appliance industry reached RMB422.66 billion, with a contribution rate of 57.8%, indicating a
further increase in the proportion of online channels. The rise of emerging channels such as short-form video and live streams
has divided up the market share of traditional e-commerce channels, driving the adjustment of the channel structure.
2. Industrial field steady progress of the industry with accelerated structural adjustment and transformation and
upgrading
According to data from the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT), in 2022, China's total industry's value
added exceeded the RMB40 trillion, accounting for 33.2% of GDP. The manufacturing industry's value added accounted for
27.7% of GDP, and its size has ranked first in the world for 13 consecutive years; the high-tech manufacturing industry
accounted for 15.5% of the value added of industries above designated size, while the equipment manufacturing industry
accounted for 31.8% of the same. The production of new energy vehicles and photovoltaics has consistently ranked first in
the world for many years. The transformation and upgrading of traditional industries have been accelerating, and as well as
the development of new industries, the industrial system has been more sound, with the continuously optimized industrial
structure.
The Company has actively promoted industrial transformation, with industrial products covering high-end equipment,
precision molds, compressors, motors, industrial energy storage, new energy buses, renewable resources, etc., transforming
and upgrading from "traditional manufacturing" to "intelligent manufacturing," striving to build a high-end, intelligent, and
green technology-based enterprise.
(1) Intelligent manufacturing boosts industrial transformation and upgrading
From Made in China 2025 to Development Plan on Smart Manufacturing During the "14th Five-Year Plan", relevant
policies all take the development of advanced intelligent manufacturing industry as the core goal to overall arrange and plan
the promotion of manufacturing power. Based on the strong support of the government, China's intelligent manufacturing
industry has maintained a rapid growth, and it has become a new development direction for China's modern advanced
12
2022 Annual Report of Gree Electric Appliances, Inc. of Zhuhai
manufacturing industry. According to data from Shangpu Group, a market research institution, the market size of China's
intelligent manufacturing industry in 2022 is USD540 billion, and it is expected to reach USD700 billion by 2024.
(2) The new energy sector maintains a continuous high prosperity
Driven by the "dual carbon (carbon peaking and carbon neutrality) policies", the new energy industry has an obvious growth
trend. The Action Plan for Carbon Peaking Before 2030 issued by the State Council clearly proposes to vigorously promote
new energy vehicles, achieving the proportion of about 40% of new and clean energy-powered vehicles by 2030. According
to the data released by the China Passenger Car Association (CPCA), the market penetration rate of new energy passenger
vehicles reached 27.6% in 2022, which will further increase to 36% in 2023 based on predictions. It will continue to rapidly
increase in the future. According to data from China Buses (www.chinabuses.org), in 2022, the sales of new energy buses
above 6 m by key domestic bus companies increased by 21.49% year-on-year, marking the booming development of the new
energy bus market.
(3) Energy storage industry develops continuously and rapidly
In 2022, China's energy storage industry still maintained a rapid development trend, while the policy system supporting
energy storage continued to improve, and energy storage made breakthroughs. Its global market demand is strong, and the
creation of energy storage standards is accelerating, providing strong support for its rapid development. According to data
released by the National Energy Administration, as of the end of 2022, the installed capacity of new energy storage projects
that have been put into operation in China has reached 8.7 GW, with a year-on-year increase of over 110%. In 2022, the
National Energy Administration and the National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) have introduced many
policies with regard to energy storage development, coordinating the promotion of new energy storage pilot projects. Based
on the Guidance on Accelerating the Development of New Energy Storage released by the National Energy Administration
and the NDRC, it is expected that the installed capacity of new energy storage in China will increase to 30 GW by 2025. It is
thus clear that new energy storage will continue to develop at a high speed, with a compound annual growth rate of
55%70%, and the market size will repeatedly reach new highs.
(4) Production capacity growth of the air conditioning compressor is under pressure while upgrading and optimizing
of efficient and energy-saving drive technology of the compressor
According to the data from ChinaIOL.com, the production of rotor compressors in 2022 was 232.61 million sets, with a year-
on-year decrease of 2.4%, and sales were 233.26 million sets, with a year-on-year decrease of 2.2%. With the deepening
implementation of China's new energy efficiency standards for air conditioners, the air conditioner industry has entered an
era of high energy efficiency. The high-efficiency and energy-saving technologies such as inverters have become standard
configurations. Products with inverters have occupied the absolute mainstream, of which meeting level 1 or level 3 in new
energy efficiency standards has dominated the market. The summary data released by AVC shows that the sales of inverter
air conditioners in the online and offline markets accounted for over 90% in 2022. The demand for inverters and high-
efficiency and energy-saving air conditioner products has continued to drive the upgrading of compressor technology.

advantages; keep its main business and focus on diversified development of industrial products, intelligent equipment, home
appliances, and new energy, and promote the gradual formation of numerous products from Gree, Kinghome, and TOSOT

Gree will continue to conduct in-depth technical research, with key core technologies as its main focus, adhere to original and
leading technological breakthroughs, continuously improve a professional global certified technical team and advanced
experimental facilities, achieve technological iteration and upgrading, develop more efficient and energy-saving system

Company.
(III) Main risks to future development
1. Risks of macroeconomic fluctuations
The products of Gree are mainly consumer appliances such as HVAC and consumer household appliances. Macroeconomic
changes may affect consumers' income status, leading to adjustments in their spending on household appliances. Meanwhile,
as a post-cycle industry of real estate, real estate policies have a significant impact on the demand for household appliances.
2. Risk of fluctuations in production factor prices
On the one hand, the raw materials for the Company's products are mainly copper, steel, aluminum, and plastics of different
grades. The cost of main raw materials accounts for a relatively high proportion of the main business cost, and fluctuations in
raw material prices will have an impact on the cost. On the other hand, the rise in labor costs has become a common
phenomenon in economic development, and the increase in labor costs will have a negative impact on the Company's gross
margin.
3. Risk of intensified market competition
The urbanization rate in China is gradually increasing, and the ownership of major household appliances has significantly
increased, leading to increasingly fierce industry competition.
4. Political risks overseas
With the uncertainties brought about by the tense overseas political situation, escalating trade frictions, economic
globalization, overseas businesses may be faced with more risks.
5. Risk of exchange rate fluctuations
Exchange rate fluctuations may weaken product competitiveness, bring adverse effects to product exports, and may also
cause exchange losses and increase financial costs.
In the face of complex and ever-changing internal and external environment and risks, Gree will continuously improve its
corporate governance structure, improve its standardized operation level, strengthen its internal control system in accordance
with the requirements of the Company Law, Securities Law, and relevant laws and regulations of the China Securities
Regulatory Commission, to effectively prevent and control risks, ensuring the Company's sustained, stable, and healthy
development.

On December 31, 2021, the Ministry of Finance issued the Accounting Standards for Enterprises Interpretation No.15 (hereinafter referred to as "Interpretation No.15"). According to
Interpretation No. 15:
a. If the Company sells products or by-products produced before the fixed assets reach their intended usable state or during the R&D process, the revenue and costs related to trial operation sales
are accounted for separately in accordance with the Accounting Standards for Enterprises No.14 Revenues and Accounting Standards for Enterprises No.1 Inventories and included in the
current profits and losses, instead of offsetting the net amount after offsetting related costs from trial sales revenue against fixed assets cost or R&D expenditure, and it will be implemented on
January 1, 2022. The change in accounting policy did not have a significant impact on the financial indicators including total assets, total liabilities, net assets and net profits of the Company.
b. The "cost of performing the contract" considered by the Company when determining whether the contract is an onerous contract includes not only the incremental cost (direct labor, direct
materials, etc.) of performing the contract, but also the allocation amount (depreciation expense allocation amount for fixed assets used to fulfill the contract) of other costs directly related to
performing the contract, which will be implemented from January 1, 2022. According to the provisions of Interpretation No. 15, for contracts that have not yet fulfilled all obligations on the first
implementation date of January 1, 2022, the cumulative impact is adjusted to the retained earnings and other related financial statement items at the beginning of 2022, and the comparative
financial statement data in 2021 is not adjusted. The change in accounting policy did not have a significant impact on the financial indicators including total assets, total liabilities, net assets and
net profits of the Company.

IV Other information
The management of your company is responsible for other information. Other information includes the information covered
in the 2022 Annual Report of your company, excluding the financial statements and our audit reports.
Our audit opinions published on financial statements do not cover any other information, and we will not publish any form of
forensic conclusion on other information.
In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read other information identified above, and,
in doing so, consider 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 on other information that we obtained prior to the date of this auditor's report, we
conclude that there is a material misstatement of other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to
report in this regard.
V Responsibilities of management and governance for financial statements
The management of your company (hereinafter referred to as the "management") is responsible for preparing the financial
172
2022 Annual Report of Gree Electric Appliances, Inc. of Zhuhai
statements in accordance with the requirements of Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises to achieve a fair
presentation, and for designing, implementing and maintaining internal control that is necessary to ensure that the financial
statements are free from material misstatements, whether due to frauds or errors.
When preparing financial statements, the management is responsible for evaluating your company's ability to continue as a
going concern, disclosing matters related to going concern (if applicable), and applying the assumption of going concern,
unless the management plans to liquidate your company, cease operations, or has no other realistic choice.
The governance is responsible for overseeing your company's financial reporting process.
VI CPA's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements
Our objective is to obtain reasonable assurance as to whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material
misstatements caused by fraud or error, and to issue an audit report containing an audit opinion. Reasonable assurance is a
high-level assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the audit standards will always detect
a material misstatement when it exits. Misstatements may 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.
When conducting audits in accordance with auditing standards, we applied professional judgment and maintained
professional skepticism. We also:
(I) Identified and assessed the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error,
designed and performed audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtained audit evidence that was sufficient and
appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher
than the one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of
internal control.
(II) Obtained an understanding of internal control related to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate.
(III) Evaluated the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related
disclosure made by management of your company.
(IV) Concluded on the appropriateness of using the going concern assumption by the management of your company, and
concluded, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exited related to events or conditions that
might cast significant doubt on your company's ability to continue as a going concern. If we concluded that there was a
significant uncertainty, we were required by audit standards to draw the attention of report users to the relevant disclosures in
the financial statements in the audit report; if such disclosures were inadequate, we should express a non-unqualified opinion.
Our conclusions were based on the information available as of the audit report date. However, future events or conditions
may result in your company to cease to continue as a going concern.
(V) Evaluated the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosure, and
evaluate whether the financial statements fairly reflected the underlying transactions and events.
173
2022 Annual Report of Gree Electric Appliances, Inc. of Zhuhai
(VI) Obtained sufficient and appropriate audit evidence for the financial information of your company's entity or business
activities to express an opinion on the financial statements. We were responsible for guiding, supervising and implementing
group audits. We assume full responsibility for the audit opinions.
We communicated with the governance regarding, among other matters, the planned audit scope, schedule, and major audit
findings, including any significant defects in internal control that we identified during our audit.
We also provided a statement to the governance regarding the observed professional moral requirements related to
independence, and communicated with the governance about all the relationships and other matters that might be reasonably
considered to affect our independence, as well as the related countermeasures (if applicable).
From the matters discussed with the governance, we have determined which are the most important for the audit of the
current financial statements and therefore constitute key audit matters. We described these matters in the audit report, unless
laws and regulations prohibit public disclosure of these matters, or in rare cases, we determined that the matter should not be
communicated in the audit report if it was reasonably anticipated that the negative consequence caused by communicating a
matter in the audit report exceeds the benefit generated in terms of public interests.

5. Accounting treatment of business combination involving enterprises under common control and business
combination not involving enterprises under common control
Business combination refers to the transaction or event of combining two or more independent enterprises to form a reporting entity.
Business combination is classified into business combination involving enterprises under common control and business combination not
involving enterprises under common control.
(1) Business combination under common control
A business combination under common control is a business combination in which the enterprises participating in the combination are
ultimately controlled by the same party or parties before and after the combination, and the control is not temporary. For business
combination involving enterprises under common control, the party that obtains the right to control other enterprises participating in the
combination on the combination date is the combining party, and other enterprises participating in the combination are the combined
party. The combination date refers to the date on which the combining party actually obtains the right to control the combined party.
Where business combination involving enterprises under common control arises from one transaction or equities of investees under
common control are obtained step by step through multiple transactions and these transactions belong to a package deal, the Company
will recognize the cost of combination according to the share of carrying amount of net assets obtained for the combined party in the
ultimate controlling party's consolidated financial statements on the combination date. The difference between the carrying amount of the
consideration paid for the combination (or total par value of the issued shares) and the combination cost is adjusted to capital reserve; if
the capital reserve is not sufficient to absorb the difference, any excess is adjusted against retained earnings.
Costs incurred that are attributable to the business combination made by the Company, including intermediary costs such as the audit fee,
legal service charge and appraisal and consultation costs, and other related overhead expenses are charged to profits and losses in the
period in which they are incurred; the transaction expenses directly attributable to the consideration paid for the combination through
issuance of equity instruments are credited against the capital reserve; if the capital reserve is not sufficient, any excess is adjusted
against retained earnings; the transaction expenses directly attributable to the consideration paid for the combination through issuance of
debt instruments are recorded into the initially recognized amount of debt instruments. Where the equities of investees under common
control are obtained step by step through multiple transactions to achieve business combination, but these transactions do not belong to a
188
2022 Annual Report of Gree Electric Appliances, Inc. of Zhuhai
package deal, the Company will recognize the cost of combination according to the share of carrying amount of net assets to be enjoyed
by the combined party after the combination in the ultimate controlling party's consolidated financial statements on the combination date.
The difference between the combination cost and the sum of the carrying amount of long-term equity investments prior to the
combination plus the carrying amount of the consideration newly paid for further acquisition of shares on the date of combination is
adjusted to capital reserve (capital premium or share capital premium); if the capital reserve is not sufficient to absorb the difference, any
excess is adjusted against retained earnings. For the equity investment held before the date of combination, accounting treatment is not
performed temporarily for other comprehensive incomes that are accounted using the equity method or recognized using financial
instruments and accounted according to the measurement standard for recognition. When this investment is disposed of, accounting
treatment is conducted using the basis the same as that used by the investee to directly dispose of relevant assets or liabilities. For other
changes in owners' equities other than the net profits and losses, other comprehensive income and profit distribution in net assets of the
investee that are recognized because of accounting using the equity method, accounting treatment is not conducted temporarily; they
shall be transferred to the profits and losses of the current period at the time of disposing of this investment.
(2) Business combination not under common control
A business combination not involving enterprises under common control is a business combination in which all of combining enterprises
are not ultimately controlled by the same party or parties both before and after the combination. For business combination not involving
enterprises under common control, the party that obtains the right to control other enterprises participating in the combination on the date
of combination is the acquiring party, and other enterprises participating in the combination are the acquired party. The date of
acquisition refers to the date on which the acquiring party actually obtains the right to control the acquired party.
For the business combination implemented through one transaction, the cost of business combination refers to the fair value of assets
paid, liabilities incurred or assumed, and equity securities issued by the Company on the date of acquisition for obtaining the right to
control the acquired party. On the date of acquisition, the assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities obtained by the Company from the
acquired party are recognized at the fair value.
For a business combination realized by two or more transactions of exchange, the accounting treatment for the combination costs shall be
made by distinguishing individual financial statements and consolidated financial statements:
In the individual financial statements, where the held shares are accounted using the equity method prior to the date of acquisition, the
cost of combination of the investment is the aggregate of the carrying amount of the equity investment of the acquired party held before
the date of acquisition and the investment cost newly increased on the date of acquisition. For other related comprehensive income,
accounting treatment is performed during disposal of the investment using the basis the same as that used by the investee to directly
dispose of relevant assets or liabilities; the owner's equity that is recognized due to other changes in owners' equities other than the net
profits and losses, other comprehensive income and profit distribution of the investee is accordingly transferred to the profits and losses
of the current period at the time of disposing of this investment. Where the equity investment held before the date of acquisition is
recognized using financial instruments and undergoes accounting treatment according to the measurement standard, the cost of
combination of the investment is the aggregate of the fair value of the equity investment recognized according to this standard and the
newly increased investment cost. The difference between the fair value of the originally held shares and the carrying amount and all the
cumulative fair value changes originally recorded into other comprehensive income are transferred to the investment income of the
current period.
In the consolidated financial statements, the shares of the acquired party held before the date of acquisition shall be remeasured based on
the fair value of such shares on the date of acquisition, and the difference between their fair value and carrying amount shall be charged
to the investment income of the current period; where the shares of the acquired party held before the date of acquisition involve other
comprehensive income under accounting of the equity method and other changes in owners' equities other than the net profits and losses,
other comprehensive income and profit distribution, other comprehensive income and other changes in owners' equities concerned with
them shall be transferred to the investment income in the period in which the date of acquisition is included (excluding other
comprehensive income arising from changes in the net assets or net liabilities of the benefit plan remeasured and redefined by the
investee). The summation of the fair value of the shares of the acquired party held before the date of acquisition on the date of acquisition
and newly increased investment costs on the date of acquisition shall be the combination cost of the investment.
Costs incurred that are attributable to the business combination made by the Company, including intermediary costs such as the audit fee,
legal service charge, and appraisal and consultation costs, and other related overhead expenses are charged to profits and losses in the
period in which they are incurred. The transaction expenses directly attributable to the consideration paid for the combination through
189
2022 Annual Report of Gree Electric Appliances, Inc. of Zhuhai
issuance of equity instruments are credited against the capital reserve; if the capital reserve is not sufficient, any excess is adjusted
against retained earnings; the transaction expenses directly attributable to the consideration paid for the combination through issuance of
debt instruments are recorded into the initially recognized amount of debt instruments.
In the Company, the positive balance between the business combination cost and the fair value of the identifiable net assets obtained by
the Company from the acquired party shall be recognized as goodwill and subsequently measured after the accumulated provision for
impairment is deducted from the cost; the negative balance between the business combination cost and the fair value of the identifiable
net assets obtained by the Company from the acquired party shall be charged to profits and losses of the current period after being
checked.
(3) Principle of judging whether multiple transactions are "a package deal"
When the terms and conditions of multiple transactions and the economic impact thereof accord with one or more of the following cases,
usually it indicates that these transactions shall undergo accounting treatment as "a package deal":
1) These transactions are concluded at the same time or concluded in consideration of mutual influence;
2) Only the whole of these transactions can achieve a complete business result;
3) Occurrence of one transaction depends on occurrence of at least one of the other transactions;
4) One transaction is not economical when considered separately, but economical when taken into account together
with other transactions.
6. Preparation of consolidated financial statements
(1) Principles for determining the scope of consolidated financial statements
The consolidation scope of consolidated financial statements shall be determined on the basis of control. Control means that the
Company owns the power to the investee, enjoys variable return by participating relevant activities of the investee, and has the capacity
of using the power to the investee to affect its return amount.
(2) Preparation of consolidated financial statements
The consolidated financial statements of the Company are prepared by the Company based on individual financial statements of the
Company and subsidiaries and according to other relevant data. During preparation of consolidated financial statements, the accounting
policy and accounting period of the Company shall be consistent with those of subsidiaries, and the inter-company major transactions
and balances shall be offset.
For the subsidiary added due to business combination involving enterprises under common control in the Report Period, the Company
adjusts the amount at the beginning of the period in the consolidated balance sheet, incorporates the revenue, expense and profit of this
subsidiary from the beginning of the period for consolidation to the end of the report period into the consolidated profit statement,
includes its cash flow into the consolidated cash flow statement, and adjusts relevant items in the comparative statements; for the
subsidiary added due to business combination not involving enterprises under common control, the Company does not adjust the amount
at the beginning of the period in the consolidated balance sheet, but only incorporates the revenue, expense and profit of this subsidiary
from the date of acquisition to the end of report period into the consolidated profit statement and its cash flow into the consolidated cash
flow statement.
The portion of owners' equity of the subsidiaries that isn't attributable to the Company shall be separately presented as the minority
equity under the owners' equity in the Consolidated Balance Sheet. The portion of the subsidiary's current net profits and losses
attributable to minority equity is presented as "Minority profits and losses" item in the Consolidated Income Statement. The share of
comprehensive income of the subsidiaries in the current period that is attributable to the minority equity shall be presented as the item of
"Total comprehensive income attributable to minority shareholders" under the total comprehensive income in the Consolidated Profit
Statement. Where the losses of a subsidiary undertaken by minority shareholders exceed the share enjoyed by minority shareholders in
the owners' equities of this subsidiary at the beginning of the period, the balance shall be still adjusted against the minority shareholders'
equity.
For the acquisition of the subsidiary's shares owned by minority shareholders thereof, in the consolidated financial statements, the
difference between the long-term equity investment newly obtained because of the acquisition of minority shareholders' shares and the
share of net assets of the subsidiary to be enjoyed and continuously calculated according to the proportion of newly added shares from
the acquisition date or consolidation date is adjusted to capital reserve; if the capital reserve is not sufficient to absorb the difference, any
excess is adjusted against retained earnings.
190
2022 Annual Report of Gree Electric Appliances, Inc. of Zhuhai
For the transaction for which a part of equity investment is disposed of but the right to control this subsidiary is not lost, in the
consolidated financial statements, the difference between the disposal price and the share of net assets of the subsidiary to be enjoyed
accordingly for disposal of the long-term equity investment and continuously calculated from the acquisition date or consolidation date is
adjusted to capital reserve (capital premium or share capital premium); if the capital reserve is not sufficient to absorb the difference, any
excess is adjusted against retained earnings.
Where the right to control the original subsidiary is lost due to disposal of a part of equity investment or other reasons, the residual
shareholding shall be remeasured at fair value on the date of losing the control right; the result of the sum of the consideration obtained
from the equity disposal plus the fair value of residual shareholding, minus the share of net assets of the original subsidiary that should be
enjoyed and is continuously calculated according to the original proportion of held shares from the acquisition date, shall be charged to
the investment income in the period when the control right is lost, and adjusted against the goodwill at the same time; other
comprehensive income related to the original subsidiary's equity investment shall be transferred to the investment income of the current
period when the control right is lost.
Where the equity investment for a subsidiary is disposed of step by step through multiple transactions till the control right is lost and all
the transactions belong to a package deal, accounting treatment shall be performed for the transactions by deeming all the transactions as
one item for disposing of the subsidiary and losing the control right; however, prior to loss of the control right, the difference between
every disposal price and the share of net assets of this subsidiary to be enjoyed accordingly for investment disposal shall be recognized as
other comprehensive income in the consolidated financial statements and, at the time of losing the control right, be jointly transferred to
the profits and losses in the period when the control right is lost.
Where the equity investment for a subsidiary is disposed of step by step through multiple transactions till the control right is lost, and the
transactions do not belong to a package deal, all the transactions before loss of the right to control the subsidiary shall be handled
according to the regulations of the Company on partial disposal of the subsidiary's long-term equity investment provided that the
Company does not lose the right to control the subsidiary.
This report period does not involve buying-in and selling-out of the same subsidiary's equity, or selling-out and buying-in turn.
7. Classification of joint arrangements and accounting treatment of co-management
Joint arrangement refers to the arrangement for joint control by two or more participants.
(1) Joint arrangement classification
Joint arrangement is classified into co-management and joint venture. Co-management refers to the joint arrangement where the parties
to the venture enjoy relevant assets of this arrangement and assume relevant liabilities of this arrangement. Joint venture refers to the
joint arrangement where the parties to the venture only enjoy rights to net assets of this arrangement.
(2) Accounting treatment of co-management
1) The Company recognizes the following items related to quantum of interest in co-management and performs
accounting treatment in accordance with provisions of the corresponding Accounting Standards for Business
Enterprises:
a. Independently held assets, as well as the jointly held assets to be recognized according to the share of the Company;
b. Independently undertaken liabilities, as well as the jointly undertaken liabilities to be recognized according to the share of the
Company;
c. Revenue generated by selling the output share of co-management that is enjoyed by the Company;
d. Revenue that is generated by selling the output during co-management and recognized according to the share of the Company;
e. Independently incurred expense, as well as the expense incurred by co-management and recognized according to the share of the
Company.
2) Where the Company puts assets into or sells assets to the parties to co-management (except that the assets constitute business), before
the said assets are sold to a third party by the parties to co-management, the Company recognizes only the part in the profits and losses
arising from this transaction that is attributable to other participants in the co-management. In case that the put or sold assets involve the
asset impairment losses complying with provisions in the Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises No. 8 Impairment of Assets,
the Company shall recognize the said loss in full.
3) Where the Company purchases assets from the parties to co-management (except that the assets constitute business), before said assets
are sold to a third party, the Company recognizes only the part in the profits and losses arising from this transaction that is attributable to
other participants in the co-management. In case that the purchased assets involve the asset impairment losses complying with provisions
191
2022 Annual Report of Gree Electric Appliances, Inc. of Zhuhai
in the Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises No. 8 Impairment of Assets, the Company shall recognize this part of loss
according to the share to undertake.
8. Determination criteria for cash and cash equivalents
The cash refers to the enterprise's money on hand and deposits for payment at any time. Cash equivalents refer to investments held by the
enterprise which are short in term (generally referring to those expiring within not more than 3 months from the date of acquisition), high
in liquidity, convertible to the known amount of cash and insignificant in risk of change of value.
9. Foreign currency transactions and translation of financial statements in foreign currency
(1) Method of translation for foreign currency transactions
At the time of initial recognition of a foreign currency transaction of the Company, the amount in the foreign currency shall be translated
into the amount in RMB currency at the spot exchange rate of the transaction date (generally referring to the mid-price of the current
day’s foreign exchange rate published by the People's Bank of China at the date of transaction, the same below).
(2) Treatment of monetary items of foreign currencies and non-monetary items of foreign currencies on the balance
sheet date
For the monetary items of foreign currencies, the translation is done according to spot rate of the balance sheet date. The exchange
difference generated from the difference of spot rate of the current balance sheet date and the time of initial recognition of a foreign
currency or the previous balance sheet date is charged to the profits and losses of the current period except that the exchange difference
generated from foreign currency borrowings relating to assets of which the acquisition or production satisfies the capitalization
conditions is capitalized in accordance with the Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises No. 17 Borrowing Costs. For the non-
monetary items of foreign currencies measured by historical cost, translation is done according to spot rate of the transaction date without
change in their amount in functional currency. Non-monetary items of foreign currencies such as shares and funds measured at fair value
are translated as per the spot rate on the date when their fair value is confirmed. The differences between the translated amounts in
functional currency and the original amounts in functional currency are recorded into current profits and losses as fluctuations in fair
value (including fluctuation in exchange rates).
(3) Translation of foreign currency financial statements
The Company translates the financial statements expressed in foreign currency into ones expressed in RMB currency according to the
following provisions.
The assets and liabilities in the balance sheet shall be converted at the spot exchange rate on the balance sheet date, except for the
"undistributed profits" item, other items of owners' equity are converted at the spot exchange rate at the time of occurrence. The asset and
liability items in the balance sheets shall be translated at an average exchange rate. The difference arising from translation of financial
statements in foreign currency generated by the above method shall be separately presented under the owner's equity item in the balance
sheet. The foreign currency cash flow statement shall be translated at the average exchange rate on the cash flow date. The amount of
influence of the exchange rate change on cashes shall be presented separately under the adjusted item in the cash flow statement.
10. Financial instruments
A financial asset or financial liability can be recognized when the Company becomes one party of financial instrument contract.
(1) Classification, recognition, and measurement of financial assets
According to the business mode for management of the financial assets and the characteristics of the contractual cash flows of the
financial assets, the Company classifies the financial assets as: financial assets measured at amortized cost; financial assets measured at
fair value with changes included in other comprehensive income; financial assets measured at fair value with changes included in the
current profits and losses.
The financial assets initially recognized by the Company shall be measured at fair value. For the financial assets measured at fair value
with changes included in the current profits and losses, the transaction expenses thereof are directly included in the current profits and
losses; for other categories of financial assets, the transaction expenses thereof are included in the initially recognized amount. For the
accounts receivable or notes receivable arising from the sale of products or the provision of services, which do not include or consider
significant financing components, the initial recognition amount is based on the expected amount of consideration that the Company is
entitled to receive.
1) Financial assets measured at amortization costs
The Company's business model for managing financial assets measured at amortization cost is to collect contractual cash flows, and the
192
2022 Annual Report of Gree Electric Appliances, Inc. of Zhuhai
contractual cash flow characteristics of such financial assets are consistent with basic borrowing arrangements, that is, cash flows
generated on a specific date, are for the payment of principal and interest based on the outstanding principal amount. The Company
adopts the effective interest rate method for such financial assets and performs subsequent measurement based on amortization cost. The
gains or losses arising from their amortization or impairment are included in the current profits and losses.
2) Financial assets measured at fair value with changes included in other comprehensive income
The Company's business model for managing such financial assets aims at collection of contractual cash flows and sales, and the
contractual cash flow characteristics of such financial assets are consistent with the basic lending arrangements. The company measures
such financial assets at fair value and their changes are recognized in other comprehensive income, but impairment losses or gains,
exchange profits and losses, and interest income calculated using the effective interest rate method are recognized in the current profits
and losses.
In addition, the Company designates some non-transaction equity instrument investments as financial assets measured at fair value with
changes included in other comprehensive income. The Company includes the relevant dividend income of such financial assets in the
current profits and losses with changes in fair value included in other comprehensive income. When the financial assets are derecognized,
the cumulative gains or losses previously included in other comprehensive income will be transferred from other comprehensive income
to retained income, but will not be included in the current profits and losses.
3) Financial assets measured at fair value with changes included in other comprehensive income
The Company classifies financial assets other than those measured at amortized cost and those measured at fair value with changes
included in other comprehensive income as financial assets measured at fair value with changes included in the current profits and losses
In addition, in the initial recognition, in order to eliminate or significantly reduce the accounting mismatch, the Company designated
some financial assets as financial assets measured at fair value with changes included in the current profits and losses. For such financial
assets, the Company uses fair value for subsequent measurement, and the changes of fair value are included in the current profits and
losses.
(2) Classification, recognition, and measurement of financial liabilities
Financial liabilities are initially classified as financial liabilities measured at fair value with changes included in the current profits and
losses and other financial liabilities. For the financial liabilities measured at fair value with changes included in the current profits and
losses, the transaction expenses thereof are directly included in the current profits and losses; for other financial liabilities, the transaction
expenses thereof are included in the initially recognized amount.
1) Financial liabilities measured at fair value with changes included in the current profits and losses
Financial liabilities are measured at fair value with changes included in the current profits and losses, including transaction financial
liabilities (including derivatives that are financial liabilities) and financial liabilities designated at initial recognition as measured at fair
value with changes included in the current profits and losses.
Transaction financial liabilities (including derivatives that are financial liabilities) are subsequently measured at fair value with changes
included in the current profits and losses, except for those related to hedge accounting.
For financial liabilities designated as those measured at fair value at the initial recognition with changes included in the current profits
and losses, the changes of fair value caused by changes in the Company's own credit risk are included in other comprehensive income,
and when the liabilities are derecognized, the cumulative changes in fair value caused by changes in own credit risk included in other
comprehensive income are transferred to retained earnings. Other changes in fair value are included in current profits and losses. If the
accounting mismatch in profits and losses may be caused or expanded as the effects of changes in the own credit risk of such financial
liabilities are processed in the above manner, the Company will include all gains or losses of such financial liabilities (including the
amount affected by changes in the Company's own credit risk) included in the current profit and loss.
2) Other financial liabilities
Except for financial liabilities and financial guarantee contracts formed by the transfer of financial assets that do not meet the conditions
for derecognition or continue to be involved in the transferred financial assets, other financial liabilities are classified as financial
liabilities measured at amortized cost, and are subsequently measured at amortized cost. Gains or losses arising from derecognition or
amortization are included in the current profits and losses.
(3) Basis for the recognition and method for the measurement of financial assets
Financial assets that meet one of the following conditions shall be derecognized:
1) The contract right to receive the cash flow of the financial assets is terminated;
193
2022 Annual Report of Gree Electric Appliances, Inc. of Zhuhai
2) The financial assets have been transferred, and almost all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial assets are transferred to
the transferring party;
3) The financial assets have been transferred, although the enterprise has neither transferred nor retained almost all the risks and rewards
of the ownership of the financial assets, it has given up control over the financial assets.
If the enterprise has neither transferred nor retained almost all the risks and rewards of the ownership of the financial assets, and has not
given up control over the financial assets, the relevant financial assets shall be recognized according to the extent of continued
involvement in the transferred financial assets, and the relevant liabilities shall be recognized accordingly. The degree of continued
involvement in the transferred financial assets refers to the level of risk faced by the enterprise due to changes in the value of the
financial assets.
If the overall transfer of financial assets meets the conditions for derecognition, the difference between the book value of the transferred
financial assets and the sum of the consideration received due to the transfer and the cumulative amount of changes in fair value
originally included in other comprehensive income is included in the current profits and losses.
If the partial transfer of financial assets satisfies the conditions for derecognition, the book value of the transferred financial assets will be
apportioned between the portion derecognized, and the portion not derecognized according to their relative fair values, and the difference
between the sum of the consideration received for the transfer and the amount of cumulative changes in the fair value which was
previously directly recognized in owner's equity and which should be apportioned to the portion derecognized, and the above book
amount apportioned will be included in the current profits and losses.
The Company must determine whether almost all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial assets have been transferred before
endorsing the transfer of financial assets sold by means of recourse and financial assets held. If almost all the risks and rewards of
ownership of the financial asset have been transferred to the transferee, the financial asset will be derecognized; if the risks and rewards
of the ownership of the financial asset have been retained, the financial asset will not be derecognized; if almost all the risks and rewards
of ownership of the financial asset have not been transferred or retained, the enterprise needs to continue to determine whether it retains
control over the asset and performs accounting treatment in accordance with the principles described in the preceding paragraphs.
(4) Derecognition of financial liabilities
If the present obligation for a financial liability has been fully or partially discharged, the financial liability or the relevant portion thereof
will be derecognized. If the Company (borrower) signs an agreement with the lender to replace the original financial liability by
assuming a new financial liability, and the contract terms of the new financial liability and the original financial liability are substantially
different, the original financial liability will be derecognized, and the new financial liability will be recognized at the same time. If a
material amendment is made to the contractual terms for the original financial liability or the relevant portion thereof, the original
financial liability will be derecognized, and the new financial liability will be recognized according to the amended terms at the same
time.
If the financial liability or the relevant portion thereof is derecognized, the difference between the book value of the financial liability
derecognized, and the consideration paid for it (including the non-cash asset transferred, or the liability assumed) will be included in the
current profits and losses.
(5) Offsetting financial assets with financial liabilities
When the Company has the legal right to offset the financial asset and the financial liability with the recognized amount, and such legal
rights are currently enforceable, and the Company plans to settle in the net or simultaneously realize the financial asset and liquidate the
financial liability, the financial asset and the financial liability will be presented in the balance sheet in net amounts after mutual offset. In
addition, financial assets and financial liabilities are presented separately in the balance sheet, and are not offset against each other.
(6) Method for determining the fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities
Fair value refers to the price that a market participant can receive for the sale of an asset or need to pay for the transfer of a liability in the
orderly transaction that occurs on the measurement date. For financial instruments for which there is an active market, the fair value
thereof will be determined by the Company based on the quotation in the active market. Quotation in the active market refers to the price
that is easily obtained from exchanges, brokers, industry associations, pricing service agencies, etc. on a regular basis, and represents the
price of market transactions that actually occur in fair trading. For financial instruments for which there is no active market, the fair value
thereof will be determined by the Company using the valuation techniques. The value appraisal techniques include the prices adopted by
the parties, who are familiar with the condition, in the latest market transaction upon their own free will, the current fair value obtained
by referring to other financial instruments of the same essential nature, the cash flow capitalization method and the option pricing model,
194
2022 Annual Report of Gree Electric Appliances, Inc. of Zhuhai
etc. At the time of valuation, the Company adopts a valuation technique that is applicable in the current circumstances and that there is
sufficient available data and other information to support, selects the input values consistent with the asset or liability characteristics
considered by the market participants in the transaction of the underlying asset or liability, and as far as possible uses relevant observable
input values. Unobservable input values are used where the relevant observable input values are not available or are not practicable.
(7) Equity instruments
Equity instruments refer to contracts that can prove ownership of the residual equity in assets of the Company after deduction of all the
liabilities. The Company treats issue (including refinancing), repurchases, sale or cancellation of equity instruments as changes in equity,
and transaction expenses related to equity transactions are deducted from equity. The Company does not recognize changes in the fair
value of equity instruments.
If the Company's equity instruments distribute dividends (including "interest" generated by instruments classified as equity instruments)
during the existence period, such dividends will be treated as profit distribution.
11. Impairment of financial assets
Financial assets of which the Company needs to recognize impairment losses include financial assets measured at amortization cost, and
debt instrument investments measured at fair value with changes included in other comprehensive income, mainly including notes
receivable, receivables financing, accounts receivable, contract assets, other receivables, loans and advances, debt investment, other debt
investment, long-term receivables, etc.
(1) Recognition methods of provision for impairment
Based on the expected credit loss, the Company makes impairment provision and recognizes credit impairment loss according to the
applicable expected credit loss measurement method (general method or simplified method) for the above items.
Credit loss refers to 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 (i.e. all cash shortfalls), discounted at the original effective interest rate. Among them,
for purchased or originated credit-impaired financial assets, the Company discounts the difference at the credit-adjusted effective interest
rate of the financial assets.
The general method for measuring expected credit losses is that the Company assesses on each balance sheet date whether the credit risk
of financial assets has increased significantly since initial recognition. If the credit risk has increased significantly since initial
recognition, the Company measures the loss provisions according to the amount equal to lifetime expected credit losses. If the credit risk
has not increased significantly since initial recognition, the Company measures the loss provisions according to the amount equal to 12-
month expected credit losses. The Company considers all reasonable and valid information, including forward-looking information,
when assessing expected credit losses.
For financial instruments with lower credit risk on the balance sheet date, the Company assumes that their credit risk has not increased
significantly since initial recognition.
(2) Judgment standards for whether the credit risks have increased significantly since the initial recognition
If the probability of default of a financial asset in the expected lifetime determined on the balance sheet date is significantly higher than
the probability of default in the expected lifetime determined at the time of initial recognition, it indicates that the credit risk of the
financial asset has increased significantly. Except for special circumstances, the Company uses the change in default risk that occurs
within the next 12 months as a reasonable estimate of the change in default risk that occurs throughout the lifetime to determine whether
the credit risk has increased significantly since initial recognition.
(3) Assessment methods of the expected credit risks based on combinations
The Company assesses the credit risks of the financial assets with significantly different credit risks respectively, such as accounts
receivable from disputes with the other party or litigation and arbitration, and receivables with obvious signs indicating that the debtor is
likely to be unable to fulfill the repayment obligation, etc.
In addition to the financial assets whose credit risks are assessed respectively, the Company divides the financial assets into different
combinations based on their common risk characteristics, and assesses the credit risks on the basis of combinations.
(4) Accounting treatment methods of financial assets impairment
At the end of the period, the Company calculates the estimated credit losses of various financial assets. If the estimated credit losses are
greater than the book value of the current impairment provisions, the difference is recognized as an impairment loss; if the estimated
credit losses are smaller than the book value of the current impairment provisions, the difference is recognized as an impairment gain.
195
2022 Annual Report of Gree Electric Appliances, Inc. of Zhuhai
(5) Recognition methods of the credit losses of all kinds of financial assets
1) Notes receivable and receivables financing notes receivable
For notes receivable and receivables financing notes receivable, the Company measures the loss reserves according to the amount of
the expected credit losses during the whole duration. Based on the credit risk characteristics of notes receivable and receivables financing
notes receivable, financial assets are divided into different combinations:
Item Basis for recognition of combinations
Banker's acceptance bill The acceptor is a bank institution or a financial company
Trade acceptance draft The acceptor is a company other than a bank institution or financial company
2) Accounts receivable, receivables financing accounts receivable and contract assets
For accounts receivable that do not contain significant financing components, accounts receivable that contain significant financing
components, receivables financing accounts receivable, and contract assets, the Company measures loss reserves based on an expected
credit loss amount equivalent to the entire duration. Expected credit losses related to contract assets are included in asset impairment
losses.
In addition to accounts receivable of which credit risk is individually assessed, the Company divides accounts receivable into different
combinations based on their credit risk characteristics:
Item Basis for recognition of combinations
Combination 1: Account age
The combination takes the account age of accounts receivable as the basis for the combination
combination
Combination 2: Low risk The combination takes the dismantling subsidy of waste electrical and electronic products receivable
combination from government departments and new energy vehicle subsidies as the basis for the combination
Combination 3: None risk The combination takes the receivables from related units within the scope of consolidation as the basis
combination for the combination
3) Disbursement of loans and advances
Based on the internal assessment results of the credit risk management system of the relevant financial instruments, the Company defines
whether credit impairment has occurred: the Company calculates the expected credit loss of the financial assets at the expected credit loss
rate of different categories, according to the five-level classification of the financial industry (normal, concerned, secondary, suspicious
and loss) based on the borrower's actual repayment ability.
4) Other receivables
The Company measures impairment losses using an amount equivalent to 12-month or lifetime expected credit losses, based on whether
the credit risk of other receivables has increased significantly since initial recognition. In addition to other receivables of which credit
risk is individually assessed, the Company divides other receivables into different combinations based on their credit risk characteristics:
Item Basis for recognition of combinations
Combination 1: Account age
The combination takes the account age of other receivables as the basis for the combination
combination
Combination 2: Low risk
The combination takes the receivable government grain deposits as the basis for the combination
combination
Combination 3: None risk The combination takes the receivables from related units within the scope of consolidation as the
combination basis for the combination
5) Debt investment
Debt investment mainly accounts for bond investment measured at amortization cost. The Company measures impairment losses using
an amount equivalent to 12-month or lifetime expected credit losses, based on whether the credit risk of other debt investments has
increased significantly since initial recognition.
6) Other debt investments
Other debt investments mainly accounts for the debt instrument investments measured at fair value with changes included in other
comprehensive income. The Company measures impairment losses using an amount equivalent to 12-month or lifetime expected credit
losses, based on whether the credit risk of other debt investments has increased significantly since initial recognition.
7) Long-term receivables
196
2022 Annual Report of Gree Electric Appliances, Inc. of Zhuhai
The Company's long-term receivables are incomes from the sales of goods collected in installments. The Company measures the loss
reserves according to the amount of the expected credit losses during the whole duration.
12. Receivables financing
For notes receivable and accounts receivable classified as measured at fair value and of which changes are included in other
comprehensive income, the portion within one year (including one year) from the date of acquisition is presented as receivables financing;
while the portion beyond one year is presented as other debt investment. For related accounting policies, please refer to Note III. 10
"Financial instruments" and Note III. 11 "Impairment of financial assets".
13. Inventory
(1) Inventory classification
The Company's inventories mainly include raw materials, work in progress and contract performance costs, finished products,
development costs, and development products.
Development cost refers to the property that has not been completed and is for sale; the Company accounts for the land use rights
purchased and used for commercial housing development as the development cost. Development product refers to the property that has
been completed and is to be sold.
(2) Valuation method for delivered inventories
The Company mainly adopts the planned cost method for inventory accounting, while some subsidiaries adopt the actual cost method for
inventory accounting.
Inventories accounted for with the planned cost method are valued at planned cost upon shipment, and at the end of the month, the
planned cost is adjusted to actual cost based on the cost difference of the current month; inventories accounted for using the actual cost
method mainly use the weighted average method at the end of each month to value the issued inventory.
Development cost and product development cost include land transfer fees, infrastructure expenditures, construction and installation
engineering expenditures, borrowing costs incurred before the development project is completed, and other related costs incurred in
development. When carrying forward the cost for product development, the total cost is allocated between the sold and unsold properties
in proportion to the construction area.
(3) Basis for determining the net realizable value of inventory and accrual method for inventory depreciation
reserves
At the balance sheet date, inventories are measured at the lower cost and net realizable value. If the cost of inventories is higher than the
net realizable value, a provision for decline in value of inventories shall be made and shall be recorded into the profits and losses of the
current period, where a provision for decline in value of inventories has been made, if the value of the said inventories is resumed later,
the said value shall be transferred back from the provision for decline in value of the inventories. Net realizable value is the estimated
selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale
and relevant taxes.
(4) Inventory system
The Company's inventory adopts the perpetual inventory system.
(5) Amortization methods of low-value consumables and packing materials
Low-value consumables and packing materials are written off in full when issued for use.
14. Contract assets
The Company presented the right to collect payments from customers which the customers have not yet paid the contract consideration,
but the Company has fulfilled its performance obligations in accordance with the contract, and which is not unconditional (that is, only
depending on the passage of time) as contract assets in the balance sheet. Contract assets and contract liabilities under the same contract
are presented in net amount, and contract assets and contract liabilities under different contracts are not offset.
For the determination and accounting treatment of expected credit losses of contract assets, please refer to Note III. 11 "Impairment of
financial assets".
15. Contract costs
(1) Determination of asset amount related to contract costs
The Company's asset related to contract costs includes contract acquisition cost and contract obtain cost.
If the incremental cost incurred by the Company to obtain the contract is expected to be recovered, it will be recognized as an asset as
197
2022 Annual Report of Gree Electric Appliances, Inc. of Zhuhai
contract acquisition cost. However, if the amortization period of the asset does not exceed one year, it will be included in current profits
and losses when it incurs.
If the cost incurred by the Company for the performance of the contract does not fall within the scope specified in the accounting
standards for business enterprises other than the Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises No. 14 Revenues (Revised in 2017), it
shall be recognized as an asset as the contract performance cost when the following conditions are met simultaneously: ① the cost is
directly related to a current or expected contract, including direct labor cost, direct material cost, manufacturing expense (or similar
expense), cost clearly borne by the customer, and other costs incurred only due to the contract; ② the cost increases the Company's
future resources for fulfilling its performance obligations; and ③ the cost is expected to be recovered.
(2) Amortization of assets related to contract costs
The Company’s assets related to contract costs are amortized on the same basis as the recognition of goods income related to the asset
and included in the current profits and losses.
(3) Impairment of assets related to contract costs
When recognizing the impairment loss of assets related to the contract cost, the Company shall first recognize the impairment loss of
other assets related to the contract and recognized in accordance with other relevant corporate accounting standards; then, based on the
fact that the book value is higher than the difference between the residual consideration expected to be obtained by the Company due to
the transfer of the goods related to the asset and the estimated cost to be incurred for the transfer of the relevant goods, the excess part
shall be withdrawn for impairment provision and recognized as asset impairment losses.
If the depreciation factors in the previous period change later, causing the aforementioned difference is higher than the book value of the
asset, the Company will transfer back the previously-made provision for impairment and include it in the current profits and losses, but
the book value of the asset after transferring back can not exceed the book value of the asset at the date of transferring back under the
assumption that no provision is made for the impairment.
16. Assets held for sale
(1) Recognition standard
Where the Company recovers its book value by selling (including the non-monetary asset exchange with commercial substance; it is the
same below), not continuously using a non-current asset or disposal group, it shall be classified into the category of assets held for sale.
The non-current asset or disposal group to be classified into the category of assets held for sale shall meet the following conditions at the
same time:
According to the practice of selling such assets or disposal groups in similar transactions, they can be sold immediately under the current
circumstances;
Selling is extremely likely to happen, that is to say that the Company has make decision for a selling plan and has obtained recognized
purchase commitment and selling is expected to be completed within one year. If it can be sold only after being approved by relevant
authority organization or supervision department of the Company according to relevant requirements, it should have been approved.
Recognized purchase commitment refers to purchase agreement with legal binding force that the Company concludes with other parties,
which includes important clauses of transaction price, time and enough strict default punishment, etc., with which, possibility to lead to
major adjustment or cancellation of agreement is tiny.
The non-current asset or disposal group acquired by the Company for resale shall be classified as the held for sale on the acquisition date
if it meets the requirements of “expected to be sold within one year” on the acquisition date, and it is likely to meet the other
classification conditions for holding for sale in the short term (usually three months).
The disposal group refers to a group of assets that are disposed of as a whole in a transaction through sale or other means, and the
liabilities that are directly related to these assets and transferred in the transaction. Where the goodwill obtained in the merger of
enterprises is apportioned for the asset group or asset group combination to which the disposal group belongs according to Accounting
Standards for Enterprises No.8 Impairment of Assets, this disposal group should contain the goodwill apportioned to the disposal
group.
(2) Accounting treatment
For the non-current asset and disposal group that is classified as the category held for sale, the Company carries out initial measurement
or re-measurement according to the smaller result of the net value of the book value and the fair value minus the net amount of the
disposal expense. Where the net value of the fair value minus the disposal cost is lower than the original book value, the difference is
198
2022 Annual Report of Gree Electric Appliances, Inc. of Zhuhai
confirmed as assets impairment losses and include in the current profits and losses, and the provision for impairment of the assets held
for sale is made at the same time; for the amount of assets impairment losses confirmed by the disposal group held for sale, the book
value of the goodwill in the disposal group is deducted first, and then its book value is deducted in proportion according to the ratios of
the book values of various non-current assets applicable to measurement of the category held for sales in the disposal group.
Where the net value of the fair value of non-current assets held for sale on the balance sheet date minus the selling expense increases
subsequently, the previous write-down amount is restored and will be transferred back in the amount of assets impairment loss after
classification as the category held for sales is confirmed, and the amount transferred back shall be included in the current profits and
losses. Asset impairment losses recognized before the classification are not transferred back.
Where the net value of the fair value of disposal group held for sale on the balance sheet date minus the selling expense increases
subsequently, the previous write-down amount is restored and will be transferred back in the amount of asset impairment losses
confirmed for non-current assets applicable to the measurement provisions of the category held for sale after classification as the
category held for sales, and the amount transferred back shall be included in the current profits and losses.
For the deducted book value of goodwill and the non-current assets applicable to the measurement provisions of the category held for
sale, the asset impairment losses confirmed before classification as the category held for sales shall not be transferred back. For the
amount subsequently transferred back for asset impairment losses recognized in the disposal group held for sale, its book value is
increased in proportion according to the ratios of the book values of various non-current assets applicable to measurement provisions of
the category held for sales in the disposal group excluding the goodwill. The non-current assets held for sale or non-current assets in the
disposal group are not made for provision for impairment or amortized, and the interests on debts and other expenses in the disposal
group held for sale will be confirmed continuously.
The measurement methods of the category held for sale do not apply to the deferred income tax assets, financial assets complying with
the specifications of Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises No. 22 Recognition and Measurement of Financial Instruments,
investment real estate and biological assets measured at fair value, contract rights produced in the insurance contract, and the assets
produced in the welfare of the workers, and they are measured according to the relevant criteria or corresponding accounting policies
formulated by the Company. Where the disposal group contains the non-current assets applicable to the measurement method of the
category held for sale, the measurement method of the category held for sale is applicable to the whole disposal group. The related
accounting standards apply to measurement of liabilities in the disposal group.
When the non-current assets or disposal group is removed from the disposal group held for sale because it does not meet the
classification condition of the category held for sale anymore and will not be classified as the category held for sale or non-current assets,
it shall be measured according to the smaller one of the following two:
1) In case of the book value before being classified into the held for sale category, the amount adjusted according to the depreciation,
amortization or impairment that should have been recognized under the assumption that it is not classified as held for sale category;
2) Recoverable amount.
17. Long-term equity investments
The long-term equity investments mainly include the equity investment held by the Company that can take control over the investee and
have a significant impact, as well as the equity investment in its joint venture.
(1) Judgment standards of control and significant influence
Judgment standards of control:
1) The Company owns the power to the investee;
2) The Company enjoys variable return by participating relevant activities of the investee;
3) The Company has the ability to use the power over the investee to influence the Company's return amount;
4) The Company acknowledges the control force for the investee that meets the above three conditions.
Judgment standards of significant influence:
5) The Company has the power to participate in the decision-making of the investee's financial and operating policies, but does not
control, or jointly control the formulation of these policies with other parties;
6) Where the Company is able to exert significant impact on the investee, it is the associated enterprise of the Company;
7) The investee under common control by the Company and other participants is a joint venture of the Company. Common control means
that any participant cannot independently control this arrangement, and any participant with the right to common control on this
arrangement can prevent other participants or the combination of participants from independently controlling this arrangement.
199
2022 Annual Report of Gree Electric Appliances, Inc. of Zhuhai
(2) Determination of the investment cost of the long-term equity investment
The long-term equity investment of the Company is measured at the investment cost at the time of acquisition. Normally the investment
cost refers to the assets paid, liabilities incurred or undertaken, and the fair value of equity securities issued for the acquisition of this
investment, including the costs directly attributable to the acquisition. However, for the long-term equity investment formed by business
combination involving enterprises under common control, the investment cost is the share of carrying amount of the combined party's net
assets acquired on the combination date in the ultimate controlling party's consolidated financial statements.
(3) Subsequent measurement of long-term equity investments and methods of profits and losses recognition
The Company adopts the cost method to calculate the long-term equity investment that can control the investee, and the equity method to
calculate the investment of associated enterprise and joint venture.
The price of a long-term equity investment accounted by employing the cost method shall be included at its initial investment cost. If
there are additional investments or disinvestments, the cost of the long-term equity investment shall be adjusted. The cash dividends or
profits declared to distribute by the investee shall be recognized as investment income and charged to profits and losses of the current
period.
When the Company employs the equity method for accounting of the long-term equity investment, if the investment cost of a long-term
equity investment is more than the investing enterprise' attributable share of the fair value of the investee's identifiable net assets for the
investment, the investment cost of the long-term equity investment may not be adjusted; if the investment cost of a long-term equity
investment is less than the investing enterprise' attributable share of the fair value of the investee's identifiable net assets for the
investment, the carrying amount of the long-term equity investment shall be adjusted, and the difference shall be recorded into the profits
and losses of the current period.
When the Company employs the equity method for accounting of the long-term equity investment, the Company first adjusts the
investee's net profits and losses and other comprehensive income in the aspects such as the fair value of the investee's identifiable net
assets at the time of investment acquisition, accounting policy and accounting period, and then recognizes the current-period investment
profits and losses and other comprehensive income based on the net profits and losses and other comprehensive income shares of the
investee that should be enjoyed or shared. For other changes in owners' equities other than the net profits and losses, other
comprehensive income and profit distribution, the carrying amount of the long-term equity investment shall be adjusted and recorded
into the owners' equities.
For the unrealized internal transaction profits and losses that arise between the Company and the associates and joint ventures, the part
attributable to the Company shall be calculated according to the shareholding proportion, and the investment profits and losses shall be
recognized on the basis of offsetting.
For the long-term equity investments held already prior to January 1, 2007 for the associates and joint ventures, if there is any equity
investment difference on the debit side, the investment profits and losses shall be recognized after deduction of the equity investment
difference on the debit side amortized by the straight-line method according to the original residual maturity.
(4) Recognition of common control and significant influences on the investee
Common control is recognized as the control which does not exist unless the investing parties unanimously agree on sharing the control
power over the relevant important financial and operating decisions of the investee according to the provisions of the contract.
Significant influences will be recognized where there is power to participate in making decisions on the financial and operating policies
of the investee, but not to control or do joint control together with other parties over the formulation of these policies. When the
Company holds more than 20.00% (inclusive) but less than 50.00% of voting shares of the investee directly or indirectly through a
subsidiary, significant influences on the investee shall be recognized, unless there is clear evidence indicating that the Company cannot
participate in production and management decision-making of the investee in this situation and therefore cannot generate significant
influences; if the Company holds less than 20.00% (exclusive) of voting shares of the investee, usually the Company is not deemed to
have a significant influence on the investee, unless there is clear evidence indicating that the Company can participate in production and
management decision-making of the investee in this situation and therefore can generate significant influences.
(5) Conversion of accounting method of long-term equity investment
Where the equity investment originally held by the Company, which is unable to control, is not under common control with or has no
significant influences on the invested entity, is converted into an investment for an associate or joint venture due to additional investment,
the investment shall be accounted by the equity method instead, and the Company shall use the fair value of the original equity
investment plus the fair value of the consideration paid to acquire the newly added investment as the initial investment cost accounted by
200
2022 Annual Report of Gree Electric Appliances, Inc. of Zhuhai
the equity method instead. The difference between the fair value and carrying amount of the originally held equity investment prior to the
additional investment, and the cumulative fair value changes originally recorded into other comprehensive income shall be transferred to
the current-period profits and losses accounted by the equity method instead.
For the originally held investments for associates and joint ventures, if they are not able to be under common control with or have
significant influences on the invested entity, if they are not able to be under common control with or have significant influences on the
invested entity due to reason such as partial disposal, accounting treatment must be performed for residual equity investments according
to the recognition and measurement standards for financial instruments, and the difference between the fair value and carrying amount on
the date on which the common control or significant influence is lost shall be charged to profits and losses of the current period. When
accounting based on the equity method is terminated for other related comprehensive income originally subject to accounting of equity
method, accounting treatment is performed using the basis the same as that used by the investee to directly dispose of relevant assets or
liabilities; all the owners' equities that are recognized due to other changes in owners' equities other than the net profits and losses, other
comprehensive income and profit distribution of the investee shall be transferred to the profits and losses of the current period when
accounting based on the equity method is terminated.
Where the originally held investments for associates or joint ventures are converted to investments for subsidiaries due to additional
investment, in the individual financial statements, the sum of the carrying value of the acquired party's equity investment held prior to the
acquisition date and the investment cost newly added on the acquisition date shall be used as the initial investment cost of such an
investment; for the equity investment held prior to the acquisition date, other comprehensive income recognized due to accounting of the
equity method shall undergo accounting treatment using the basis the same as that used by the investee to directly dispose of relevant
assets or liabilities when such an investment is disposed of.
When the influencing capability on the investee is converted from control to a significant influence or common control together with
other investors due to investment disposal, the long-term equity investment cost, for which recognition shall be terminated, is first carried
over according to the proportion of investment disposal. On such a basis, the remaining long-term equity investment cost is compared
with the share attributable to the Company in the fair value of the investee's identifiable net assets at the time of original investment,
which is calculated according to the remaining shareholding proportion. For the goodwill part to be embodied in the investment
evaluation, the carrying amount of long-term equity investment shall not be adjusted; where the investment cost is less than the share
attributable to the Company in the fair value of the investee's identifiable net assets at the time of original investment, any excess shall be
adjusted against retained earnings when the long-term equity investment cost is adjusted. For the share attributable to the Company in the
investee's realized net profits and losses between acquisition of the original investment and conversion to accounting of the equity
method due to investment disposal, the carrying amount of the long-term equity investment shall be adjusted, meanwhile, any excess
shall be adjusted against retained earnings for the share attributable to the Company in the investee's realized net profits and losses
(excluding the cash dividends or profits distributed or declared to distribute) from acquisition of the original investment to the beginning
of the period in which the investment is disposed of, and the current-period profits and losses shall be adjusted for the share attributable
to the Company in the investee's realized net profits and losses from the beginning of the period in which the investment is disposed of to
the investment disposal date; the share attributable to the Company in the invested entity's changes in other comprehensive income shall
be recorded into other comprehensive income when the carrying amount of the long-term equity investment is adjusted; the share
attributable to the Company in the investee's other changes in owners' equities arising from reasons other than the net profits and losses,
other comprehensive income and profit distribution shall be recorded into "Capital reserves other capital reserves" when the carrying
amount of the long-term equity investment is adjusted. After the cost method is converted to the equity method for the long-term equity
investment, the share attributable to the Company in the investee's realized net profits and losses, other comprehensive income and other
changes in owners' equities shall be calculated and recognized according to provisions of the standard in the future period.
For the originally held long-term equity investment that is able to control the investee, if the shareholding proportion declines due to
reasons such as partial disposal and the investment cannot be able to control, be under common control with or have significant
influences on the investee, accounting treatment must be performed for remaining equity investments according to the recognition and
measurement standards for financial instruments. The difference between the fair value and carrying amount on the date of control loss
shall be recorded into the investment income of the current period.
In the process of holding the long-term equity investment, if the Company decides to sell all or part of held equity of the investee in
consideration of all aspects, the carrying amount of the long-term equity investment corresponding to the sold equity shall be carried over
accordingly, and the difference between the selling price and the carrying amount of long-term equity investment for disposal shall be
recognized as disposal profits and losses.
201
2022 Annual Report of Gree Electric Appliances, Inc. of Zhuhai
If the Company disposes of all the long-term equity investments accounted by the equity method, when accounting based on the equity
method is terminated for other related comprehensive income originally subject to accounting of equity method, accounting treatment is
performed using the basis the same as that used by the investee to directly dispose of relevant assets or liabilities; all the owners' equities
that are recognized due to changes in other owners' equities other than the net profits and losses, other comprehensive income and profit
distribution of the investee shall be transferred to the investment income of the current period when accounting based on the equity
method is terminated; if a part of the long-term equity investment accounted by the equity method is disposed of and the residual equity
is still accounted using the equity method, other related comprehensive income originally subject to accounting of equity method shall be
handled using the basis the same as that used by the investee to directly dispose of relevant assets or liabilities and be carried over by
proportion, and the owners' equities that are recognized due to other changes in owners' equities other than the net profits and losses,
other comprehensive income and profit distribution of the invested entity shall be carried over to the investment income of the current
period according to the proportion.
18. Investment real estate
The Company's investment real estate includes a land use right that is leased out, a land use right held for transfer upon capital
appreciation and a building that is leased out.
The Company's investment real estate is measured at its cost, and the Company uses the cost model for a subsequent measurement of its
investment real estate. The depreciation and amortization of the investment real estate shall be made in accordance with the accounting
policies of fixed assets or intangible assets of the Company.
When the Company changes the purpose of the investment real estate, such as for self-use, it shall transfer the relevant investment real
estate to other assets.
See Note III. 24 “Long-term asset impairment” for the impairment test method and impairment reserve accrual method of investment real
estate.
19. Fixed assets
(1) Recognition standard of fixed assets
The Company's fixed assets refer to tangible assets held for the production of commodities, provision of labor services, lease or operation
and management, with a service life exceeding one accounting year. Fixed assets can not be recognized unless they simultaneously meet
the conditions as follows:
1) The economic interests related to the fixed assets are likely to flow into the enterprise;
2) The cost of this fixed asset can be measured reliably.
(2) Measurement of fixed assets
The fixed assets are measured at cost.
1) The cost of a purchased fixed asset consists of the purchase price, the relevant taxes, freight, loading and unloading fees, professional
service fees and other expenses that bring the fixed asset to the expected conditions for use and that may be relegated to the fixed asset.
2) If the payment for a fixed asset is delayed beyond the normal credit conditions, and it is of financing nature in effect, the cost of the
fixed asset shall be recognized based on the present value of the purchase price. The difference between the actual payment and the
present value of the purchase price shall be included in the current profits and losses within the credit period, unless it shall be capitalized
in accordance with the Accounting Standards No. 17 Borrowing Costs.
3) The cost of self-constructed fixed assets consists of the necessary expenditures incurred before the assets reaching the predetermined
usable state.
4) The cost invested to a fixed asset by the investor shall be recognized in accordance with the value as stipulated in the investment
contract or agreement, other than those of unfair value as stipulated in the contract or agreement.
5) The costs of fixed assets acquired through the exchange of non-monetary assets, recombination of liabilities, merger of enterprises and
lease shall be respectively recognized in accordance with the Accounting Standards No. 7 Exchange of Non-monetary Assets,
Accounting Standards for Enterprises No. 12 Debt Restructuring, Accounting Standards for Enterprises No. 20 Merger of
Enterprises and Accounting Standards for Enterprises No. 21 Leases.
(3) Classification of fixed assets

(4) Depreciation of fixed assets
202
2022 Annual Report of Gree Electric Appliances, Inc. of Zhuhai
1) Recognition of depreciation method and service life, expected net salvage value rate and annual depreciation rate:
The depreciation of fixed assets shall be made by the straight-line method. The annual depreciation rate recognized according to the
category, service life and expected net salvage value rate of fixed assets is as follows:
Expected net salvage value Annual depreciation
Category of fixed assets Expected service Life (year)
rate (%) rate (%)
Houses and buildings 5.00 20.00 4.75
Machinery equipment 5.00 6.00-10.00 9.50-15.83
Electronic equipment 5.00 2.00-3.00 31.67-47.50
Transportation equipment 5.00 3.00-4.00 23.75-31.67
Others 5.00 3.00-5.00 19.00-31.67
Depreciation of fixed assets of which a provision for impairment has been made: For a fixed asset of which a provision for impairment
has been made, the depreciation of the fixed asset shall be made based on the amount of deducting its expected net salvage value,
depreciation amount and provision for impairment from the original price of the fixed asset and remaining service life of the fixed assets.
For the fixed assets that have reached intended usable condition but not prepared the final account for completion, their costs shall be
recognized at their estimated value, and their depreciation shall be made accordingly; after completion of the final account for
completion, the original estimated value of the fixed assets shall be adjusted by their actual costs, but the original depreciation amount
does not require adjusting.
2) Check of service life, expected net salvage value and depreciation method of fixed assets:
The Company shall, at least at the end of each year, have a check on the service life, expected net salvage value, and the depreciation
method of the fixed assets. If the Company finds that there is any difference between the expected service life and the previously
estimated service life of a fixed asset, the expected service life of the fixed asset shall be adjusted; if there is any difference between the
amount of expected net salvage value and the previously estimated amount of the net salvage value, the expected net salvage value shall
be adjusted; if any significant change is made on the form of the realization of the expected economic benefits concerning a fixed asset,
the method for the depreciation of the fixed asset shall be changed. If any change is made to the service life, expected net salvage value
or the depreciation method of a fixed asset, it shall be regarded as a change of the accounting estimates.
(5) Treatment of subsequent expenditures for fixed assets
Subsequent expenditures incurred on a fixed asset refer to repair expenses, renovation expenses, repair costs and decoration expenses and
otherwise incurred in the course of use of the fixed asset. Their accounting treatment is as follows: Where subsequent expenditures of a
fixed asset such as renovation expenses meet the conditions of recognizing the fixed asset, they shall be recorded into the cost of the
fixed asset, and the carrying amount of the replaced part of the subsequent expenditures shall be deducted; where subsequent
expenditures of a fixed asset such as repair costs do not meet the conditions of recognizing the fixed asset, they shall be recorded into the
profits and losses of the current period in which they are incurred; where the decoration expenses of a fixed asset meet the conditions of
recognizing the fixed asset, they shall be measured in a single detail account of "Fixed Assets", and the depreciation of the fixed asset
shall be made separately by the straight-line method in a shorter time of the period of two decorations and remaining usable life of the
fixed asset.
The improvement expenditures incurred on a fixed asset leased by operating lease shall be capitalized and reasonably amortized as long-
term prepaid expenses.
(6) Impairment test method and accounting and drawing method for impairment provision of fixed assets
See Note III. 24 “Long-term asset impairment” for the impairment test method and impairment provision method of fixed assets.
20. Construction in progress
The term "construction in progress" refers to all necessary expenditures incurred before the acquired fixed assets enable the project to
reach expected usable condition, including project direct materials, direct employee compensation, installation costs for equipment to be
installed and project construction, project management fees, net profits and losses of project commissioning and approved capitalized
borrowing costs.
(1) Valuation of construction in progress

203
2022 Annual Report of Gree Electric Appliances, Inc. of Zhuhai
(2) Time when construction in process is carried forward to fixed assets
When the construction in progress reaches the expected usable condition, they shall be transferred to fixed asset at their actual cost. For
the fixed assets that have reached expected usable condition but not prepared the final account for completion, they shall be charged to
the account at their estimated value and shall be adjusted after their actual value is recognized.
See Note III. 24 “Long-term asset impairment” for the impairment test method and impairment provision method of construction in
process.
21. Borrowing costs
Borrowing costs are interests and other costs incurred by the Company in connection with the borrowing of the funds, including interests,
amortization of discounts or premiums related to borrowings, ancillary costs incurred in connection with the arrangement of borrowings,
and exchange differences arising from foreign currency borrowings.
(1) Recognition of capitalization of borrowing costs
The borrowing costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset shall be capitalized,
and the amounts of other borrowing costs incurred shall be recorded into the profits and losses of the period in which they are incurred.
Qualifying assets are fixed assets, investment real estate and inventories and otherwise that necessarily take a substantial period of time
for acquisition, construction or production to get ready for their intended use or sale.
(2) Period of capitalization of borrowing costs
1) Time point of capitalization of borrowing costs.
The capitalization of borrowing costs commences only when all the following conditions are satisfied:
a. Expenditures for the asset have been incurred;
b. Borrowing costs have been incurred; and
c. Activities relating to the acquisition, construction or production of the asset that are necessary to prepare the asset for its intended use
or sale have commenced.
2) Time point of ceasing capitalization of borrowing costs:
Capitalization of borrowing costs ceases when the qualifying asset acquired, constructed or produced becomes ready for its intended use
or sale. The subsequent borrowing costs shall be recorded into the profits and losses of the current period.
3) Recognition of suspending capitalization of borrowing costs:
When an abnormal interruption occurs during the construction or production of an asset which satisfies the conditions for capitalization
and the interruption continues for more than three months consecutively, the capitalization of borrowing expense will be paused, the
borrowing expense incurred during the suspension will be included in the current profits and losses.
(3) Computing method of capitalizing amount of borrowing costs
During the capitalization period, the amount of interest (including amortization of discounts or premiums) to be capitalized for each
accounting period shall be recognized as follows:
1) If a specialized loan is borrowed for the purchase, construction or production of assets that meet the capitalization conditions, the
amount shall be determined based on the actual interest expenses incurred in the current period of the specialized loan, minus the interest
income obtained from depositing unused loan funds in the bank or the investment income obtained from temporary investments;
2) Where general funds are borrowed for the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset, the amount of interest to be
capitalized on such general borrowings shall be calculated and recognized by applying a capitalization rate of such general borrowings to
the weighted average of the excess amounts of accumulated expenditures on the asset over and above the amounts of special borrowings.
The capitalization rate shall be calculated and recognized by the weighted average interest rate of general borrowings.
Where there is any discount or premium, the amount of discounts or premiums that shall be amortized during each accounting period
shall be recognized by the real interest rate method, and an adjustment shall be made to the amount of interests in each period. During the
period of capitalization, the amount of interest capitalized during each accounting period shall not exceed the amount of interest actually
incurred to the relevant borrowings in the current period.
Ancillary costs in connection with special borrowings that are incurred before the qualifying asset acquired, constructed or produced
becomes ready for its intended use or sale shall be capitalized on the basis of the incurred amount when they are incurred, and they shall
be recorded into the cost of qualifying asset; those incurred after the qualifying asset acquired, constructed or produced becomes ready
for its intended use or sale shall be recognized as expenses on the basis of the incurred amount when they are incurred, and shall be
204
2022 Annual Report of Gree Electric Appliances, Inc. of Zhuhai
recorded into the profits and losses of the current period. The ancillary costs arising from a general borrowing shall be recognized as
expenses at their incurred amount when they are incurred, and shall be recorded into the profits and losses of the current period.
22. Right-of-use assets
For the determination method of right-of-use asset and accounting treatment method, please see Note III. 34 "Lease".
23. Intangible assets
An intangible asset is an identifiable non-monetary asset without physical substance owned or controlled by the Company. Intangible
assets can be recognized only when they meet the conditions simultaneously as follows:
a. They are consistent with the definition of intangible assets;
b. The economic benefits related to intangible assets are likely to flow into the Company; and
c. The cost of intangible assets can be measured reliably.
(1) Measurement of intangible assets
The intangible assets shall be measured according to their cost or fair value (if increased through business combination not involving
enterprises under common control).
(2) Subsequent measurement
The Company shall analyze and judge the service life of intangible assets when it obtains intangible assets. If the Company is unable to
forecast the period when the intangible asset can bring economic benefits to it, it shall be regarded as an intangible asset with uncertain
service life.
With regard to an intangible asset with limited service life, its amortization amount shall be amortized by expected realization pattern of
its economic benefits, if the Company is unable to recognize the expected realization pattern reliably, intangible assets shall be amortized
by the straight-line method.
The Company shall, at least at the end of each year, check the service life and the amortization method of intangible assets with limited
service life. If necessary, it shall adjust the said service life and amortization method.
With regard to an intangible asset with uncertain service life, its amortization amount shall not be amortized, but the Company shall
check the service life of the said intangible asset every year and shall carry out an impairment test for it.
(3) Estimation of service life
As for intangible assets with limited service life, the estimation of their service life generally considers the following factors:
1) General life cycle of products manufactured by using the assets and information about service life of similar assets available;
2) Present situation of technologies and process and estimation for future development trends;
3) Market demand of products manufactured or services rendered by using the assets;
4) Expected actions of present or potential competitors;
5) Expected maintenance expenses for economic capacity from the assets and the Company's expected capability to pay relevant
expenses;
6) Laws and regulations or similar restrictions relating to the control period of the assets, such as concession period and lease period;
7) Relevance with service life of other assets held by the Company, etc.
(4) Division of research expenditures and development expenditures included in expenditures for internal research
and development projects
1) Research expenditures in internal research and development projects shall be recorded into the profits and losses of the current period
when they are incurred.
2) The expenditures for the development stage of internal R&D projects shall be recognized as intangible assets when the following
conditions are met at the same time:
a. The development of the intangible asset is completed to make the use or sale of the intangible assets feasible technically;
b. Have the intent to complete the intangible assets and use or sell them;
c. How the intangible asset will generate economic benefits, including the ability to demonstrate the existence of a market for the output

d. Availability of adequate technical, financial and other resources to complete the development and to use or sell the intangible asset;
e. Ability to measure reliably the expenditure that is attributable to the intangible asset during its development.
Where the expenditures at research stage or at development stage cannot be distinguished, all expenditures to research and development
205
2022 Annual Report of Gree Electric Appliances, Inc. of Zhuhai
shall be included in the current profits and losses.
(5) Impairment test method and accounting and drawing method of impairment provision for intangible assets
See Note III. 24 “Long-term asset impairment” for the impairment test method and impairment provision method of intangible assets.
24. Impairment of long-term assets
On the balance sheet date, if there is any sign showing possible impairment of assets (referring to the assets other than inventories, equity
instruments that have no quoted price and reliable fair value measurement in active market, investment real estate measured by fair value
model, consumable biological assets, assets formed under construction contract, deferred income tax assets, residual value not guaranteed
by the renter in the financing lease and financial assets), their recoverable amount shall be estimated on the basis of single item assets;
Where it is difficult to estimate the recoverable amount of the single item assets, the recoverable amount of the assets shall be recognized
on the basis of their asset group or combination of asset groups.
The recoverable amount shall be recognized in light of the higher one of the net amount of the fair value of the single item assets, asset
group or combination of asset groups less the disposal expenses and the present value of the expected future cash flow of the single item
assets, asset group or combination of asset groups.
Where the recoverable amount of the single item assets is lower than their carrying amount, a provision for the asset impairment shall be
made accordingly on the basis of the difference between the carrying amount of the single item assets and their recoverable amount.
Where the recoverable amount of an asset group or a combination of asset groups is lower than its carrying amount, it shall be recognized
as the corresponding impairment loss. The amount of the impairment loss shall first charge against the carrying amount of goodwill
which is apportioned to the asset group or combination of asset groups, then charge it against the carrying amount of other assets in
proportion to the weight of other assets in the asset group or combination of asset groups with the goodwill excluded. The charges
against the carrying amount of the assets above shall be treated as the impairment loss of the single item assets (including the goodwill),
and a provision for impairment of the single item assets shall be made accordingly.
Once the above loss of asset impairment is recognized, it shall not be transferred back in future accounting periods.
25. Long-term unamortized expenses
Long-term deferred expenses refer to the expenses incurred by the Company but attributable to the current and subsequent accounting
periods of more than one year (excluding one year), including the expenses for improvement of fixed assets leased by operating lease.
Long-term deferred expenses shall be recorded into the account based on their actual amount of expenditure and shall be averagely
amortized by their beneficial period, if long-term deferred expenses can not benefit subsequent accounting periods, the unamortized
value of the project shall be all transferred to the profits and losses of the current period.
26. Contract liabilities
Contract liability refers to the Company's obligation to transfer goods to customers for consideration received or receivable from
customers. If before the Company transfers the goods to the customer, the customer has paid the contract consideration or the Company
has obtained the unconditional right to receive payment, the Company will, at the earlier time point between the actual payment by the
customer and the payment due, present the amount received or receivables as contract liabilities. Contract assets and contract liabilities
under the same contract are presented in net amount, and contract assets and contract liabilities under different contracts are not offset.
27. Employee compensation
(1) Accounting treatment of short-term compensation
In the accounting period during which employees provide services to the Company, the Company recognizes the short-term
compensation actually incurred as liabilities and charges them to the current-period profits and losses or relevant asset costs.
(2) Accounting treatment for post-employment benefits
Post-employment benefits can be divided into the defined contribution plan and the defined benefit plan
1) In the accounting period during which employees provide services for the Company, the amount to be deposited calculated based on
the defined contribution plan is recognized as liabilities and included in the current profits and losses or relevant asset costs.
2) The accounting treatment for the defined benefit plan generally includes the following steps:
a. According to the Expected Cumulative Benefit Unit (ECBU) method, unbiased and mutually consistent actuarial assumptions are used
to estimate relevant demographic and financial variables, quantify the obligations arising from the defined benefit plan, and determine
the period to which the obligations relate;
b. If there are assets in the defined benefit plan, the deficit or surplus formed by deducting the present value of the defined benefit plan
206
2022 Annual Report of Gree Electric Appliances, Inc. of Zhuhai
obligation from the fair value of the defined benefit plan assets shall be recognized as net liabilities or net assets of the defined benefit
plan. For the defined benefit plan with surplus, the Company should measure the net assets based on the surplus or asset ceiling of the
benefit plan (whichever is lower). The asset ceiling refers to the present value of the economic interest that can be obtained by the
Company from refunding or reducing future contributions to the defined benefit plan.
c. At the end of the period, the costs of employee compensation arising from the defined benefit plan are recognized as service costs, net
interest on net liabilities or net assets of the defined benefit plan, and changes arising from remeasurement of net liabilities or net assets.
The service costs and net interest on net liabilities or net assets of the defined benefit plan are included in the current profits and losses or
relevant asset costs, while changes arising from remeasurement of net liabilities or net assets are included in other comprehensive income
and cannot be transferred back to profits and losses in subsequent accounting periods. However, the amount recognized in other
comprehensive income can be transferred within the equity section;
d. Recognize a settlement gain or loss during settlement of the defined benefit plan.
(3) Accounting treatment for termination benefits
The liabilities of employees' wages and salaries that arises from the termination benefits shall be recognized on the earlier one of the
following two dates and included in the current profits and losses:
1) When the Company cannot unilaterally cancel the termination benefits provided as a result of a plan to terminate employment or a
proposal to downsize;
2) When the Company recognizes the cost or expense related to reconstruction involving the payment of termination benefits.
(4) Accounting treatment for other long-term employee benefits
For other long-term employee benefits provided by the Company to its employees that comply with the defined contribution plan,
accounting treatment shall be conducted in accordance with the defined contribution plan. For benefits other than these, accounting
treatment shall be conducted in accordance with the defined benefit plan. However, the portion of the relevant employee compensation
costs that relate to "changes arising from remeasurement of net liabilities or net assets of the defined benefit plan" shall be included in the
current profits and losses or related asset costs.
28. Lease liabilities
For the methods of recognition and accounting treatment of lease liabilities, please refer to Note III. 34 "Lease".
29. Estimated liabilities
(1) Recognition criteria of estimated liabilities
When business related to contingencies such as external guarantee, pending litigation or arbitration, product quality assurance, staff
reduction, loss contract, restructuring obligations, fixed asset disposal obligations that meet the following conditions, it shall be
recognized as liabilities:
1) The liabilities are current obligations undertaken by the Company;
2) The fulfillment of the liabilities might cause outflow of economic benefits from the enterprise;
3) The amount of the liabilities can be reliably measured.
Measurement methods of estimated liabilities
Accrued liabilities shall be measured on the best estimate of the expenditures required to fulfill current obligations. If there is a
continuous range for the necessary expenses and if all the outcomes within this range are equally likely to occur, the best estimate shall
be determined by the midpoint of the range. In other cases, the best estimate shall be determined by the following methods:
1) When a contingency is related to a single item, the best estimate shall be determined based on the most probable amount;
2) When a contingency is related to multiple items, the best estimate shall be calculated and determined based on all possible amounts
and their probabilities of occurrence.
If all or part of the expenditure required to settle the estimated liabilities of the Company is expected to be compensated by a third party
or other parties, the amount of compensation shall be separately recognized as an asset only when it is virtually certain that the
compensation will be obtained. The amount recognized for the compensation shall not exceed the book value of the recognized estimated
liabilities.
30. Share-based payment
(1) Accounting treatment of share-based payment
Share-based payment refers to the transaction of granting equity instruments or bearing liabilities recognized on the basis of equity
207
2022 Annual Report of Gree Electric Appliances, Inc. of Zhuhai
instrument for obtaining services from employees or other parties. The share-based payment is classified into equity-settled share-based
payment and cash-settled share-based payment.
1) Equity-settled share-based payment
The equity-settled share-based payment in exchange for services provided by employees are measured at the fair value of the equity
instruments granted to employees on the date of grant. The fair value is calculated by the straight-line method and included in the
relevant costs or expenses based on the best estimate of the number of vested equity instruments in the vesting period when it is vested
only after the service in the vesting period is completed or the specified performance terms are met. When it is vested immediately after
grant, it is included in relevant cost or expenses is included on the grant date, and the capital reserve is increased accordingly.
On each balance sheet date during the vesting period, the Company makes the best estimate of subsequent information such as the latest
change in the number of vesting employees to correct the estimated number of vested equity instruments. The aforementioned estimated
influences are included in current relevant costs or expenses, and the capital reserves are adjusted correspondingly.
The equity-settled share-based payment in exchange for the services of other parties shall be measured at the fair value of the services of
other parties on the obtaining date if the services of other parties can be measured reliably; the equity-settled share-based payment shall
be measured at the fair value of the equity instruments on the obtaining date of the services of other parties if the fair value of the
services of other parties cannot be measured reliably while the fair value of the equity instruments can be measured reliably, and be
included in the relevant costs or expenses, and the shareholders' equity shall be increased correspondingly.
2) Cash-settled share-based payment
The cash-settled share-based payments is measured at the fair value of liabilities determined based on shares or other equity instruments
undertaken by the Company. When it is vested immediately after grant, it is included in relevant costs or expenses on the grant date, and
the liabilities are increased correspondingly; if it is vested after completing the services in the vesting period or meet the specified
performance terms, the current obtained services are included in costs or expenses based on the best estimate of vesting and at fair value
of liabilities borne by the Company on each balance sheet date of the vesting period, and the liabilities are increased correspondingly.
On each balance sheet date and settlement date before the settlement of the relevant liabilities, re-measure the fair value of the liabilities
with the changes included in the current profits and losses.
(2) Relevant accounting treatment for amending and terminating share-based payment plan
When the Company amends the share-based payment plan, if the fair value of equity instruments granted is increased due to the
amendment, the increase of the services obtained will be recognized correspondingly by the increase of the fair value of equity
instruments. The increase of the fair value of equity instruments refers to the difference between the fair value of equity instruments
before and after amendment on the amendment date. If the amendment reduces the total fair value of the share-based payment or adopts
other unfavorable methods to the employees, the accounting treatment of the obtained services will be continued as if the modification
has never occurred, unless the Company cancels part or all of the equity instruments granted.
During the vesting period, if the granted equity instrument is canceled, the Company will handle the cancellation as an accelerated
vesting, the amount that shall be recognized during the remaining vesting period is immediately included in the current profits and losses
with the capital reserves recognized at the same time. If an employee or other party can choose to meet the non-vesting conditions but
fails to meet them during the vesting period, the Company shall treat that as a cancellation of the grant of equity instruments.
31. Revenue
When the contract between the Company and the customer simultaneously meets the following conditions, the Company recognizes the
revenue at the point when the customer obtains control over the relevant goods: the parties to the contract have approved the contract and
promised to perform their respective obligations; the contract clarifies the rights and obligations of the parties to the contract in relation
to the transferred goods or the provided services; the contract has clear payment terms related to the transferred goods; the contract has
commercial substance, that is, the performance of the contract will change the risk, time distribution or amount of the Company's future
cash flow; and the consideration that the Company is entitled to obtain due to its transfer of goods to customers is likely to be recovered.
At the commencement date of the contract, the Company identifies each individual performance obligation in the contract, and allocates
the transaction price to each individual performance obligation in accordance with the relative proportion of the stand-alone selling price
of the goods promised by each individual performance obligation. When determining the transaction price, the Company considers the
impact of a variable consideration, major financing components in the contract, non-cash consideration, consideration payable to
customers and other factors.
The Company recognizes the transaction price allocated to each individual performance obligation as revenue at the point when the
208
2022 Annual Report of Gree Electric Appliances, Inc. of Zhuhai
customer obtains control over the relevant goods. When judging whether the customer has obtained control over the goods, the Company
considers the following signs: where the Company has the current right to receive payment for the goods, that is, the customer has the
current payment obligation for the goods; where the Company has transferred the legal ownership of the goods to the customer, that is,
the customer has the legal ownership of the goods; where the Company has transferred the goods to the customer in kind, that is, the
customer has taken possession of the goods in kind; where the Company has transferred the main risks and payments of the ownership of
the goods to the customer, that is, the customer has obtained the main risks and payments of the ownership of the goods; where the
customer has accepted the goods; and other signs that the customer has obtained control over the goods.
The Company's main sales of air conditioners and related products usually only include the performance obligations of the transferred
goods.
(1) Revenue from selling goods
1) For the revenue from domestic sales of products, the Company mainly adopts the form of payment in advance. The Company
recognizes the revenue when the product is outbound and delivered to the purchaser, and the shipping document is issued or the
customer's receipt is obtained, and the amount of revenue from product sales is determined;
2) In terms of the export sales income, the Company recognizes the revenue when the products are declared and departed according to
the contract, the bill of lading is obtained, and the amount of the sales revenue is determined.
(2) Revenue from rendering labor services
1) For the revenue from warehousing services, the Company will settle the revenue on a monthly basis by the working hours and
standard wages of the services provided, facilities used and related expenses, and the amount of revenue has been determined;
2) For the revenue from material processing services, the Company recognizes the revenue when the materials are processed according to
the contract and delivered to the customer to obtain the customer's signed receipt, and the amount of revenue has been determined;
3) The Company's service charge and commission income include the service charge income of acceptance business, service charge
income of entrusted loan, etc.
For the service charge and commission income, the completion time of the contractual performance obligations is determined according
to the business settlement sheet formulated through settlement with the customer when the business is completed, and the specific
amount of revenue is recognized according to the terms and ratios stipulated in the business contract or agreement.
(3) Income from the transfer of the right to use assets
Income from the transfer of the right to use assets includes the interest income, rental income, etc.
The Company recognizes the income from the transfer of the right to use assets when the income amount can be reliably measured and
the relevant economic benefits are likely to flow into the enterprise.
1) The interest income of the Company mainly includes the interest income from deposits in financial enterprises and loan interest
income. Interest income from deposits in financial enterprises is recognized on a regular basis based on the time of deposit and the
effective interest rate. Loan interest refers to the income recognized by the Company for granting self-operated loans and accruing
interest on a regular basis. The loan interest income is recognized according to the effective interest rate method.
The effective interest rate method refers to the method of calculating the amortized cost and interest income or interest expense for each
period based on the effective interest rate financial assets or financial liabilities. The effective interest rate refers to the interest rate used
to discount the future cash flows of a financial asset or financial liability within the expected period of existence or applicable shorter
period into the current book value of the financial asset or financial liability. When determining the effective interest rate, the Company
estimates future cash flow based on all contractual terms of financial assets or financial liabilities, but does not consider the loss of future
credits. All the charges, transaction fees, premiums or discounts paid or collected by the Company as part of the effective interest rate
shall be considered when determining the effective interest rate.
2) The recognition conditions for rental income of the Company are as follows:
a. A lease contract, agreement or other settlement notices recognized by the Lessee are available;
b. The obligations stipulated in the contract are fulfilled; the lease invoice is issued, and the price has been obtained or will be obtained
for sure;
c. The rental cost can be measured reliably.
32. Government grants
Government grants refer to the Company's free acquisition of monetary and non-monetary from the government, excluding capital
invested by the government as the owner. Government grants consist of asset related government grants and income related government
209
2022 Annual Report of Gree Electric Appliances, Inc. of Zhuhai
grants.
Government grants obtained by the Company for purchase, construction, or forming the long-term assets by other ways are defined as
asset related government grants, and all the other government grants are defined as income related government grants. If the government
document does not specify the grant object, the following mode is adopted to classify the subsidies into income related government
grants and asset related government grants:
(1) If the government document specifies the item to which the grant aims, the allocation should be based on the relative proportion of
the expenditure amount to form assets and the expenditure amount included in expenses in the budget of this specific item, and this
allocation proportion needs to be reviewed on every balance sheet date and changed when necessary;
(2) If the government document provides only a general presentation of the purpose without specifying the specific item, the grants shall
be regarded as income related government grants.
The asset related government grants are recognized as deferred income upon acquisition, and are included in the profits and losses in
reasonable and systematic installments over the useful life of the asset when the relevant asset reaches its intended usable state. Where
the relevant assets are sold, transferred, scrapped or damaged before the end of their useful lives, the undistributed deferred income
balance is transferred to the current profits and losses of the asset disposal.
In terms of income related government grants, those are used for compensating the related expenses or losses in the later period, are
recognized as deferred income upon acquisition and included in the current profits and losses during the period when the relevant costs
or losses are recognized; those are used for compensating the related cost expenses or losses incurred, are included in the current profits
and losses directly upon acquisition.
Government grants related to daily activities are included in other income; government grants not related to daily activities are included
in non-operating revenue and expenses.
(3) If policy preferential loans are obtained with interest discounts, accounting treatment should be carried out by distinguishing between
the following two ways of obtaining them:
a. Where the financial department disburses the discount interest fund to the lending bank, the lending bank provides a loan to the
Company at a policy preferential interest rate, the fair value of the loan is used as the entry value of the loan, the borrowing cost is
calculated according to the effective interest rate method, and the difference between the actual amount received and the fair value of the
loan is recognized as deferred income. The deferred income is amortized using the effective interest rate method during the duration of
the loan to offset the relevant borrowing cost;
b. Where the financial department disburses the discount interest fund to the Company directly, the corresponding discount is used to
offset the relevant borrowing costs.
(4) Government grants that are monetary assets are measured at the amount received or receivable. Government grants that are non-
monetary assets are measured at the fair value; if the fair value cannot be reliably acquired, they are measured at the nominal amount.
The Company usually recognizes and measures government grants based on the actual amount received upon receipt. However, funds
that have conclusive evidence at the end of the period, indicating that they meet the relevant conditions stipulated in the financial support
policy and are expected to receive financial support, are measured at the amount receivable. Government grants measured at the amount
receivable shall simultaneously comply with the following conditions:
1) The amount of receivable grants has been confirmed by the authoritative government department by issuing a document, or can be
independently and reasonably calculated in accordance with the relevant provisions of the officially issued financial fund management
measures, and it is predicted that its amount is not subject to significant uncertainty;
2) The basis is the financially supported projects and their financial fund management measures that are officially released by the local
finance department and actively disclosed in accordance with the provisions of the Regulation of the People's Republic of China on
Disclosure of Government Information, as well as its financial fund management measures, and the management measures should be
inclusive (any enterprise meeting the defined conditions can apply for the grants), rather than specially formulated for specific enterprises;
3) Other conditions that shall be met according to specific conditions of the Company and this matter of grants.
33. Deferred income tax assets/deferred income tax liabilities
The deferred income tax assets and deferred income tax liabilities are calculated and recognized based on the difference between the tax
base of the assets and liabilities and their book values (temporary difference). For deductible losses that can be deducted from taxable
income in subsequent years in accordance with the provisions of the tax law, the corresponding deferred income tax assets are recognized.
For temporary differences arising from the initial recognition of goodwill, the corresponding deferred income tax liabilities are not
210
2022 Annual Report of Gree Electric Appliances, Inc. of Zhuhai
recognized. For temporary differences arising from the initial recognition of assets or liabilities arising from non-business combination
transactions that neither affect accounting profits nor taxable income (or deductible losses), the corresponding deferred income tax assets
and deferred income tax liabilities are not recognized. At the balance sheet date, the deferred income tax assets and deferred income tax
liabilities are measured at the tax rate applicable to the period during which the assets are expected to be recovered, or the liabilities are
expected to be settled.
The Company recognizes the deferred income tax assets to the extent of the amount of the taxable income which it is most likely to
acquire and which can be deducted from the deductible temporary differences, deductible losses and tax deductions.
Deferred income tax liabilities are recognized for all taxable temporary differences arising from the investments in subsidiaries, joint
ventures and associates, except to the extent that both of the following conditions are met: the Company is able to control the timing of
the transferring back of the temporary differences; and it is likely that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future.
Deferred income tax assets are recognized for all deductible temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, joint
ventures and associates if all the following conditions are met: it is likely that the deductible temporary difference will be transferred
back in the foreseeable future, and it is likely that taxable profit in the future will be available against which the deductible temporary
difference can be utilized.
The deferred income tax assets and the deferred income tax liabilities that meet the following conditions are presented at the net amount
after offsetting:
a. The deferred income tax assets and deferred income tax liabilities relate to the income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on
the same taxpayer of the Company; and
b. The taxpayer of the Company has a legal right to settle current income tax assets and current income tax liabilities on a net basis.
34. Lease
Lease refers to a contract in which the Company transferred or acquired the right to control the use of one or more identified assets for a
certain period of time in exchange for or payment of consideration. On the contract commencement date, the Company evaluates whether
the contract is a lease or includes a lease.
(1) With the Company as the Lessee
1) Initial measurement
On the commencement date of the lease term, the Company will recognize the right to use the leased assets during the lease term as the
right-of-use asset, and recognizes the current value of the unpaid lease payment amount as a lease liability, except for short-term leases
and low-value asset leases. When calculating the current value of the lease payment amount, the Company uses the implied interest rate
in lease as a discount rate. If the implied interest rate in lease cannot be determined, the Lessee incremental borrowing interest rate is
used as the discount rate.
Right-to-use assets should be initially measured at cost. The cost includes:
a. The initially measured amount of the lease liabilities;
b. The lease payments made on or before the commencement date of the lease term, if there is a lease incentive, deduct the amount
related to the lease incentive that has been enjoyed;
c. The initial direct expenses incurred by the Lessee;
d. The estimated cost that the Lessee will incur for dismantling and removing the leased assets, restoring the site where the leased assets
are located, or restoring the leased assets to the state agreed in the lease terms.
2) Subsequent measurement
The Company calculates and distills depreciation of the right-to-use asset by referring to fixed asset depreciation policies (see Note III.
19 "Fixed assets"), if it can be reasonably determined that the ownership of the leased assets will be obtained upon the expiration of the
lease term, the Company will calculate and distill depreciation within the remaining useful life of the leased assets. Where it is
impossible to reasonably determine if the ownership of the leased assets can be acquired upon the expiration of the lease term, the
Company will make depreciation within a shorter period between the lease term and the remaining useful life of the leased assets.
For lease liabilities, the Company calculates its interest expenses for each period of the lease term at a fixed periodic interest rate, and
includes them in the current profits and losses or in the cost of related assets. The variable lease payment amount that is not included in
the measurement of lease liabilities is included in the current profits and losses or cost of related assets when actually incurred.
After the lease term starts, in case of changes in the substantial fixed payment amount, the estimated amount payable of the guarantee
residual value, the index or ratio used for determining the lease payment amount, a change in the evaluation results or actual vesting of
211
2022 Annual Report of Gree Electric Appliances, Inc. of Zhuhai
the purchase option, renewal option or termination option, the Company re-measures the lease liability based on the current value of the
changed lease payment amount, and adjusts the book value of the right-of-use assets accordingly. If the book value of the right-of-use
assets has been reduced to zero, but the lease liabilities still need to be further reduced, the Company will include the remaining amount
in the current profits and losses.
3) Short-term leases and low value asset leases
For short-term leases (with a lease term of no more than 12 months from the beginning of the lease) and low-value asset leases, the
Company adopts a simplified treatment method to include the lease payment amount into the cost of relevant asset costs or the current
profits and losses during the lease term by the straight-line method or other systematic and reasonable methods instead of recognizing the
right-of-use assets and lease liabilities.
(2) With the Company as the Lessor
On the commencement date of the lease, the Company divides the lease into financial lease and operating lease based on the essence of
the transaction. Financial lease refers to the lease that transfers substantially almost all risks and rewards associated with the ownership
of the assets. Operating lease refers to the leases other than the financial lease.
1) Operating leases
The Company adopts the straight-line method to recognize the lease payment amount of the operating lease as the rental income during
the lease term. Variable lease payments in connection with the operating lease that are not included in lease payment are included in the
current profits and losses when actually incurred.
2) Financial lease
On the beginning date of the lease term, the Company recognizes the financial lease receivables and derecognizes the financial lease
assets. The financial lease receivables are initially measured by the net lease investment (the sum of the unguaranteed residual value and
the present value of the lease payments that have not been received on the beginning date of the lease term discounted at the implied
interest rate of the lease), and interest income during the lease term is calculated and recognized at a fixed periodic interest rate. The
variable lease payments obtained by the Company that are not included in the measurement of net lease investment are included in the
current profits and losses when actually incurred.
35. Discontinued operation
Discontinued operation refers to a constituent part that meets one of the following conditions and can be distinguished separately, and
has been disposed of or classified as held for sale:
(1) This constituent part represents an independent main business or a separate main business area;
(2) This constituent part is part of an associated plan for disposing of an independent main business or a separate main business area;
(3) This constituent part is a subsidiary specially acquired for resale.
The Company presents the profits and losses from continuing operations and the profits and losses from discontinued operations in the
Consolidated Income Statement and the Income Statement respectively. For the non-current asset or disposal group held for sale that
does not comply with the definition of discontinued operation, its impairment loss and amount transferred back and profits and losses
from disposal shall be presented as profits and losses from continuing operations. The impairment losses and amount transferred back of
discontinued operations and other operating profits and losses as well as profits and losses from disposal are presented as profits and
losses from discontinued operations.
For the discontinued operations presented in the current period, the information previously presented as profits and losses from
continuing operations is re-presented as profits and losses from discontinued operations for comparable accounting period in the current
financial statements. Where the disposal group that is intended to be discontinued rather than sold meets the conditions for the relevant
constituent part in the definition of discontinued operations, it is presented as discontinued operation from the date of discontinuation of
use. Where the control over a subsidiary is lost due to reasons such as selling the investment in the subsidiary and this subsidiary
complies with the definition of discontinued operations, the relevant profits and losses from discontinued operations are presented in the
Consolidated Income Statement.
36. Segment report
The Company determines the operating segments based on the internal organizational structure, management requirements and internal
reporting systems, determines the report segments based on the operating segments, and discloses segment information.
Operating segments refer to the constituent part in the Company that meets the following conditions at the same time:
(1) This constituent part can generate revenue and expenses in daily activities;
212
2022 Annual Report of Gree Electric Appliances, Inc. of Zhuhai
(2) The management of the Company can regularly evaluate the operating results of the constituent part to determine the allocation of
resources and evaluate its performance;
(3) The Company can obtain the relevant accounting information of this constituent part such as its financial status, operating results and
cash flows. If two or more operating segments have similar economic characteristics and meet certain conditions, they can be merged
into one operating segment.
37. Share repurchase
If the Company's shares are acquired due to registered capital reduction or employee rewards, the amount actually paid shall be treated as
treasury shares, and shall be registered at the same time for future reference. If the repurchased shares are cancelled, the difference
between the total face value of the cancelled shares and the amount actually paid for the repurchase shall be offset against capital reserve.
If the capital reserve is insufficient, the offset shall be made against retained earnings. If the repurchased shares are rewarded to
employees of the Company as equity settled share-based payments, refer to Note III. 30 "Share-based Payment" for corresponding
accounting treatment.
38. Hedging
To avoid certain risks, the Company hedges certain financial instruments as hedging instruments. Hedge that meets the prescribed
conditions will be handled by the Company using hedge accounting methods. The Company's hedging includes fair value hedging, cash
flow hedging and hedging of net investment in overseas operations.
At the beginning of the hedging, the Company officially designates the hedging tool and the hedged item, and prepares written
documents on the hedging relationship and the risk management strategy and risk management objectives of the Company engaged in
hedging. In addition, the Company will continue to assess the effectiveness of the hedging when and after the hedging begins.
(1) Fair value hedging
For eligible hedging instruments designated as fair value hedging, the gains or losses generated thereby are included in the current profits
and losses. If a hedging instrument is used to hedge non-trading equity instrument investment (or its component) that is selected to be
measured at fair value with changes included in other comprehensive income, the gains and losses generated by the hedging instrument
are included in other comprehensive income. Gains or losses of a hedged item arising from the hedged risk exposure is included in the
current profits and losses, while the book value of the hedged item is adjusted. If a hedged item is measured at fair value, the gains or
losses incurred by the hedged item due to the hedged risk exposure are included in the current profits and losses or other comprehensive
income, and there is no need to adjust the book value of the hedged item.
When the Company revokes the designation of the hedging relationship, the hedging instrument has expired or been sold, the contract is
terminated or exercised, or the conditions for the use of hedge accounting is no longer met, terminate the use of hedge accounting.
(2) Cash flow hedging
For eligible hedging instruments designated as cash flow hedging, the portion of the gains or losses generated thereby that is determined
to be an effective hedge is included in other comprehensive income, while the portion that is determined to be an ineffective hedge is
included in the current profits and losses.
If the expected transaction causes the Company to subsequently recognize a non-financial asset or non-financial liability, or if the
expected transaction of the non-financial asset or non-financial liability forms a firm commitment applicable to fair value hedge
accounting, the Company will transfer out the amount of cash flow hedge reserve originally recognized in other comprehensive income
and include it in the initial recognition amount of the asset or liability. For other cash flow hedging, the Company will, during the same
period when the expected cash flow being hedged affects profits or losses, transfer out the amount of cash flow hedge reserve originally
recognized in other comprehensive income and includes it in the current profits and losses.
If it is expected that all or part of the net losses originally included in other comprehensive income cannot be compensated in the future
accounting period, transfer the portion which cannot be compensated out and include it in the current profits and losses.
When the Company terminates the use of hedge accounting for cash flow hedging, the accumulated cash flow hedge reserves that have
been included in other comprehensive income are retained when future cash flows are expected to continue to occur, and are transferred
out of other comprehensive income and included in the current profits and losses when future cash flows are expected to no longer occur.
(3) Hedging of net investment in overseas operations
Hedging of net investment in overseas operations is accounted for using a method similar to the cash flow hedging. Among the gains or
losses of hedging instruments, the portion that is determined to be an effective hedging is included in other comprehensive income, while
the portion that is determined to be an ineffective hedging is included in the current profits and losses.
213
2022 Annual Report of Gree Electric Appliances, Inc. of Zhuhai
Gains and losses that have been included in other comprehensive income are transferred out of other comprehensive income and included
in the current profits and losses when disposing of overseas operations.
39. Safe production expenses
Some subsidiaries of the Company withdraw safe production expenses in accordance with national regulations and include them in the
costs of related products or current profits and losses.
Where the expenses for production safety extracted are of a cost nature, the special reserves shall be directly written off. If the expenses
for safe production extracted are used to form fixed assets, the expenses incurred by the account collection of "construction in progress"
shall be recognized as fixed assets when the safety project is completed and reaches the expected serviceable state; at the same time,
write off special reserves based on the cost of forming fixed assets and recognize accumulated depreciation of the same amount. The
fixed asset will no longer be depreciated in the future.
40. Risk reserve
In accordance with regulations such as the Administrative Measures for the Reserve Accrual of Financial Enterprises ("Accrual
Measures") (CJ [2012] No. 20) issued by the Ministry of Finance, the subsidiaries of the Company in financial industry, have established
a general risk reserve on the basis of withdrawing asset impairment provision of assets to compensate for potential losses related to risk
assets that have not yet been identified. This general risk reserve is treated as a profit distribution and is an integral part of the owner's
equity, which in principle should be no less than 1.5% of the ending balance of risk assets. According to the requirements of the accrual
measures, if the proportion of the general reserve balance of financial enterprises to the ending balance of risk assets is difficult to reach
1.5% at one time, it can be paid in installments, and in principle, it should not exceed 5 years.
41. Changes in major accounting policies and accounting estimate
(1) Changes in major accounting policies
On December 31, 2021, the Ministry of Finance issued the Accounting Standards for Enterprises Interpretation No.15 (hereinafter
referred to as "Interpretation No.15"). According to Interpretation No. 15:
a. If the Company sells products or by-products produced before the fixed assets reach their intended usable state or during the R&D
process, the revenue and costs related to trial operation sales are accounted for separately in accordance with the Accounting Standards
for Enterprises No.14 Revenues and Accounting Standards for Enterprises No.1 Inventories and included in the current profits and
losses, instead of offsetting the net amount after offsetting related costs from trial sales revenue against fixed assets cost or R&D
expenditure, and it will be implemented on January 1, 2022. The change in accounting policy did not have a significant impact on the
financial indicators including total assets, total liabilities, net assets and net profits of the Company.
b. The "cost of performing the contract" considered by the Company when determining whether the contract is an onerous contract
includes not only the incremental cost (direct labor, direct materials, etc.) of performing the contract, but also the allocation amount
(depreciation expense allocation amount for fixed assets used to fulfill the contract) of other costs directly related to performing the
contract, which will be implemented from January 1, 2022. According to the provisions of Interpretation No. 15, for contracts that have
not yet fulfilled all obligations on the first implementation date of January 1, 2022, the cumulative impact is adjusted to the retained
earnings and other related financial statement items at the beginning of 2022, and the comparative financial statement data in 2021 is not
adjusted. The change in accounting policy did not have a significant impact on the financial indicators including total assets, total
liabilities, net assets and net profits of the Company.

Test by Zhuhai Gree Electrical Co., Ltd., goodwill impairment provision of RMB43,047,201.85 was accrued from the above-mentioned
goodwill arising from the acquisition in the current period.

[Note 3] Instruction for goodwill asset group and impairment test of Hefei Kinghome Electrical Co., Ltd.
Due to the difficulty in obtaining the market fair value of assets or asset groups containing goodwill directly, the Company calculates the
recoverable amount of the asset groups by the present value of expected future cash flow. The expected cash flow is based on the
prediction of future cash flow of assets or asset groups. Other key data used in impairment test include expected sales revenue,
production costs, and other related expenses. The Company determines the above key data based on historical experience and market
development predictions. The discount rate adopted by the Company is the pre-tax rate reflecting the time value of the current market
currency and the specific risk of the relevant asset group.
The asset group containing goodwill at the end of this year is consistent with the asset group determined when goodwill was formed on
the acquisition date, and its composition has not changed. The discount rate adopted by the Company to expect cash flow is 11.47%, the
growth rate of operating revenue is expected to be 10% from 2023 to 2027, and the growth rate in the stable stage is 0. According to the
test results, the recoverable amount of the asset group related to goodwill is less than the identifiable book value of the asset group and
the book value of all goodwill, thus the goodwill requires full accrual for impairment reserves.
[Note 4] Instruction for DunAn Environment's goodwill asset group and impairment test

(5) Method and key assumptions for determining the fair value on the acquisition date
1) Appraisal determination method: The assets and liabilities were mainly appraised by the cost method, income method, and market
approach.
2) Key assumptions in the appraisal.
A. The appraised entity is capable of making timely adjustments and innovations in line with the development of the market and science
and technology, while maintaining consistency in its business scope, business methods and management mode;
B. The assets and liabilities declared by the appraised entity are free from property disputes and other economic disputes;
C. The production and operation of the appraised entity and its economic activities related to production and operation are subject to
national laws and regulations;
D. Except for the fixed-asset investment with exact evidence indicating that the production capacity will change in the future on the
appraisal base date, the appraised entity will not conduct major fixed-assets investment activities that may affect its operation in the
future income period, and its product production capacity are estimated based on the status on the appraisal base date; and
E. In the future income period, the appraised entity will maintain the turnover of accounts receivable and accounts payable similar to the
historical years, with no payment in arrears that is significantly different from the historical years.
3) Reasons for asset appreciation:
A. Inventory: The market average selling price of the product is higher than its book value, resulting in appreciation of the appraisal
value;
B. Investment real estate: The increase in rental prices leads to the appreciation of the appraisal value measured in income method;
C. Houses and buildings: The purchase time is long, and the market price has risen, resulting in appreciation of the appraisal value;
D. Machinery and equipment: The accounting depreciation period is shorter than the economic service life, and the replacement price on
the appraisal base date is higher than the original purchase price, resulting in appreciation of the appraisal value;
E. Land use right: it was acquired earlier, and the land market price rose, resulting in the appreciation of the appraisal value;
F. Trademark rights, patent rights, and proprietary technology: As a listed company in the manufacturing industry, DunAn Environment
has a high reputation in the same industry. Its developed patent rights and proprietary technologies have made significant contributions to
production and business activities, resulting in the appreciation of the appraisal value; and
G. Other current liabilities: Some of the losses on guaranteed debts were reversed before the appraisal report date, while some of them
were reversed within 12 months after the acquisition date, resulting in impairment of other current liabilities.
2. Business combination under common control
None.
3. Reverse acquisitions

Yinlong Investment Holding Group Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Yinlong Group") and its actual controller Wei Yincang signed a
capital increase agreement and a supplementary agreement, agreed to increase capital by RMB1 billion from Sunshine Insurance to Gree
Altairnano New Energy, and agreed on a "valuation adjustment mechanism on performance." Later, due to unsatisfactory performance,
Sunshine Insurance filed an arbitration at the Shenzhen International Arbitration Court, claiming performance compensation from Gree
Altairnano New Energy and Yinlong Group, as well as Wei Yincang. The specific claims were a principal of RMB1 billion and interest
of over RMB150 million, totaling over RMB1.15 billion. Under the capital increase agreement and supplementary agreement, Yinlong
Group and Wei Yincang bear the direct responsibility for performance compensation, and Gree Altairnano New Energy bears indirect
responsibility for the debt as the performance does not reach the agreed standard. This case is currently waiting for the arbitral court to
investigate and obtain evidence and ruling upon two hearings and several written exchanges of opinions. The amount of litigation cost
required to be borne by Gree Altairnano New Energy can hardly be estimated yet.
A capital increase agreement similar to "valuation adjustment mechanism on performance" with Sunshine Insurance involves a total of 7
shareholders (excluding Sunshine Insurance), with an investment principal of RMB1.11 billion.
(2) Under the Equity Transfer Agreement signed between Zhejiang Energy Saving and Shuifa Energy on November 21, 2019, the 65%

Heating Project (2017 expansion project). On July 30, 2018, both parties signed a construction contract for the 2018 Installation Work of
the Secondary Pipe Network and Risers in the Building of the Changyuan Energy Saving Central Heating Project. Due to the failure to

Saving's property worth RMB20,949,800. Shuifa Energy field to the court for conservatory measures against Zhejiang Energy Saving's
property worth RMB26 million due to the payment of contingent liabilities by Tianjin Energy Saving and its subsidiaries. DunAn
Environment is actively hiring intermediary agencies to audit the costs of above works of energy saving project to determine the amount
of the aforementioned contingent liabilities, but as of the base date, the specific amount of these contingent liabilities cannot be
determined yet. For the undetermined amount of contingent liabilities mentioned above, DunAn Environment has accounted for a 50%
ratio of bad debt reserves based on a total of RMB393,880,562.38 of debts receivable from Tianjin Energy Saving and Shuifa Energy at
the end of the period.

principal of RMB55 million and interest, as well as the attorney fees and other expenses, and DunAn Holding shall bear joint and several
liabilities. On May 5, 2022, under the Civil Judgment of Hangzhou Intermediate People's Court in Zhejiang Province (2021) (Z 01 MC
No. 2806), the litigation request for ordering DunAn Hetian and DunAn International Trade to return the principal, interest, and attorney
