Section IV. Discussion & Analysis by Management
I. Business review
I. Macro-environment
In 2015, China’s economy was in a “new normal state” featuring stable development at a low level due to
structural adjustment and transformation. Affected by the macro economic environment, slow recovery in the real
estate market, etc, growth in domestic sale of home appliances was weak. And the export market as a whole was
also sluggish because the international economy was being hit by political and economic chaos, considerable
fluctuations in exchange rates, fading of the competitive edge of China’s home appliances in cost and so on.
However, the home appliance industry maintained a good momentum in consumption and transformation by
upgrading in spite of the slowdown in growth.
In 2015, the structure of washing machine products was further optimized, with roller, large-capacity, inverter and
smart products growing fast and becoming a new engine for the development of the industry. Traditional channels
were battered while the e-commerce channel rose quickly. The traditional way of manufacturing, stocking and
selling in a large size was in face of a serious challenge. In the reporting period, the washing machine industry
became more centralized due to slowing growth and increasing competition. According to statistics from
ChinaIOL, China sold a total of 56.1369 million units of washing machines in Jan.-Dec. 2015, down 0.40% from
the year earlier, of which 39.0534 million units were sold domestically, representing a YoY growth of 3.78%, and
17.0836 million units were exported, decreasing 8.80% year on year.
II. Main business analysis
In face of rapid changes in domestic and overseas environments, closely adhering to the strategic axis of “leading
products, efficiency-driven and global operation”, we focused on our main business, firmly pushed forward
organizational reform and operating transformation with customers as the center and production & sale as the
main line, and kept improving our capability in lean management and profitability. In 2014, we continued to
optimize our product structure, improve our product quality and steadily increase the operating efficiency, which
further solidified our capability of sustainable development. For the reporting period, the Company achieved
operating revenues of RMB13.132 billion, up 21.54% from the year earlier; net profit attributable to shareholders
of the Company stood at RMB919 million, representing a YoY growth of 31.65%; and the overall gross profit rate
stood at 26.54%, increasing by 0.66 percentage points from last year.
The revenue growth was mainly attributed to an increased sales volume, which was further attributed to optimized
structures. Firstly, the product structure was optimized. Through our continuous efforts in product innovation, our
product competitiveness and structure continued to improve, with a larger proportion of roller washing machines
and a smaller proportion of double-cylinder products. Secondly, the channel structure was optimized. We
vigorously pushed forward marketing reform, boosting growth in both the domestic and overseas sales, of which
13
2015 Annual Report of Wuxi Little Swan Company Limited
the domestic online sales increased significantly from last year and the sales to Europe witnessed fast growth.
Finally, the brand structure was optimized. Steady growth in the sales of products under the “Little Swan” brand
as well as fast growth in the sales of products under the “Midea” brand both contributed to the growth in the total
sales. In the reporting period, sales of the Company went up 27% from last year, a lot higher than the average
growth in the industry.
The profit growth was attributed to a larger business scale, an increased gross profit margin as well as more
investment gains. Our product structure was further optimized, with a larger proportion of high-gross-profit
products. Our operating efficiency was obviously improved, with operating costs decreasing from last year due to
low prices of raw materials. The Company had more self-owned funds and gained more from investments with the
said funds. The reporting period also saw considerable increase in our profitability.

5 Accounting method for business combinations involving enterprises under common control
and not under common control
(a) Business combinations involving enterprises under common control
The consideration paid and net assets obtained by the absorbing party in a business combination are
measured at the carrying amount. The difference between the carrying amount of the net assets
obtained from the combination and the carrying amount of the consideration paid for the
combination is treated as an adjustment to capital surplus (share premium). If the capital surplus
(share premium) is not sufficient to absorb the difference, the remaining balance is adjusted against
retained earnings. Costs directly attributable to the combination are included in profit or loss in the
period in which they are incurred. Transaction costs associated with the issue of equity or debt
securities for the business combination are included in the initially recognised amounts of the equity
or debt securities.
(b) Business combinations involving enterprises not under common control
The cost of combination and identifiable net assets obtained by the acquirer in a business
combination are measured at fair value at the acquisition date. Where the cost of the combination
84
2015 Annual Report of Wuxi Little Swan Company Limited
exceeds the acquirer’s interest in the fair value of the acquirer’s identifiable net assets, the difference
is recognised as goodwill; where the cost of combination is lower than the acquirer’s interest in the
fair value of the acquirer’s identifiable net assets, the difference is recognised in profit or loss for the
current period. Costs directly attributable to the combination are included in profit or loss in the
period in which they are incurred. Transaction costs associated with the issue of equity or debt
securities for the business combination are included in the initially recognised amounts of the equity
or debt securities.
V Summary of significant accounting policies and accounting estimates (continued)
6 Basis of preparation of consolidated financial statements
The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of the Company and all of its
subsidiaries.
Subsidiaries are consolidated from the date on which the Company obtains control and are
de-consolidated from the date that such control ceases. For a subsidiary that is acquired in a business
combination involving enterprises under common control, it is included in the consolidated financial
statements from the date when it, together with the Company, comes under common control of the
ultimate controlling party. The portion of the net profits realised before the combination date is
presented separately in the consolidated income statement.
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, where the accounting policies and the accounting
periods of the Company and subsidiaries are inconsistent, the financial statements of the subsidiaries
are adjusted in accordance with the accounting policies and the accounting period of the Company. For
subsidiaries acquired from business combinations involving enterprises not under common control, the
individual financial statements of the subsidiaries are adjusted based on the fair value of the
identifiable net assets at the acquisition date.
All significant intra-group balances, transactions and unrealised profits are eliminated in the
consolidated financial statements. The portion of a subsidiary’s equity and the portion of a subsidiary’s
net profits, losses and comprehensive income for the period not attributable to the Company are
recognised as minority interests and presented separately in the consolidated financial statements
within equity, net profits and total comprehensive income respectively. Unrealised gain or loss from
selling assets to subsidiaries fully offsets the net income attributable to equity holders of the company.
Unrealised gain or loss from purchasing assets from subsidiaries offsets the net income attributable to
equity holders of the company and atrributable to the minority interest by the distribution proportion
regarding the company and the subsidiary. Unrealised gain or loss from transaction between
subsidiaries offsets the net income attributable to equity holders of the company and atrributable to the
minority interest by the distribution proportion regarding the company and the selling side of the
subsidiaries.

setup, there is adjustment for the transaction from the Group’s perspective.

using the spot exchange rates on the balance sheet date. Exchange differences arising from these
translations are recognised in profit or loss for the current period, except for those attributable to
foreign currency borrowings that have been taken out specifically for the acquisition or construction of
qualifying assets, which are capitalised as part of the cost of those assets. Non-monetary items

(a) Financial assets
(i) Classification
Financial assets are classified into the following categories at initial recognition: financial assets at fair
value through profits or losses, receivables, available-for-sale financial assets and held-to-maturity
investments. The classification of financial assets depends on the intention of the Company and its
subsidiaries and ability to hold the financial assets.
The financial assets held by the Company and its subsidiaries include financial assets at fair value
through profits or losses, receivables and available-for-sale financial assets.
86
2015 Annual Report of Wuxi Little Swan Company Limited
Financial assets at fair value through profits or losses
Financial assets at fair value through profits or losses are derivatives, especially forward foreign
exchange contracts.
V Summary of significant accounting policies and accounting estimates (continued)
9 Financial Instruments (continued)
(a) Financial assets (continued)
(i) Classification (continued)
Receivables
Receivables, including notes receivable, accounts receivable, other receivables and structured
deposits, are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted
in an active market.
Available-for-sale financial assets
Available-for-sale financial assets are non-derivative financial assets that are designated to be
available for sale upon initial recognition and financial assets not classified in any other categories.
Available-for-sale financial assets are included in other current assets if management intends to
dispose of them within 12 months from balance sheet date.
(ii) Recognition and measurement
Financial assets are recognized at fair value on the balance sheet when the Company and its
subsidiaries become a party to the contractual provisions of the financial instrument. Transaction
costs that are attributable to the acquisition of the financial assets at fair value through profits or
losses are included in profit or loss in the period in which they are incurred, and transaction costs
that are attributable to the acquisition of other financial assets are included in their initially
recognized amounts.
Financial assets at fair value through profits or losses and available-for-sale financial assets are
subsequently measured at fair value. Investments in equity instruments are measured at cost when
they do not have a quoted market price in an active market and whose fair value cannot be reliably
measured. Receivables and held-to-maturity investments are measured at amortised cost using the
effective interest method.
Gains or losses arising from change in fair value of financial assets at fair value through profits or
losses are recognized as change in fair value in profit or loss for the period in which they are
incurred. Interests, cash dividends arising from its holding period and gains or losses arising from
the disposition are included in profit or loss for the period in which they are incurred.
除减 Gains or losses arising from change in fair value of available-for-sale financial assets are recognized
directly in equity, except for impairment losses and foreign exchange gains and losses arising from
translation of monetary financial assets. When such financial assets are derecognized, the
87
2015 Annual Report of Wuxi Little Swan Company Limited
cumulative gains or losses previously recognized directly into equity are recycled into profit or loss
for the current period. Cash dividends declared by the investee on available-for-sale investments in
equity instruments are recognized as investment income, which is recognized in profits or losses for
the period.
V Summary of significant accounting policies and accounting estimates (continued)
9 Financial Instruments (continued)
(a) Financial assets (continued)
(iii) Impairment of financial assets
The Company and its subsidiaries assess the carrying amount of financial assets other than those at
fair value through profits or losses at each balance sheet date. If there is objective evidence that the
financial asset is impaired, an impairment loss is provided for.
The objective evidence are matters that occur after the financial assets been recognised, affect its
estimated future cash flow and could be measured accuractly by the Company and its subsidiaries.
表明 The objective evidence, of which provided for available-for-sale equity instruments being impaired,
includes an investment in an equity instrument with serious or prolonged decline. the Company and
its subsidiaries assess available-for-sale equity instruments at each balance sheet date. If the fair
value of equity instruments is less than its initial investment cost of more than 50% (including
50%), or less than the duration of its initial investment cost of more than one year (including one
year), it indicates that the equity instruments are impaired. If the fair value of equity instruments is
less than its initial investment cost of more than 20% (including 20%) to 50% (not including 50%),
the Company and its subsidiaries will consider other relevant factors such as ratios of price
fluctuation to judge that whether equity instruments are impaired. The Company and its
subsidiaries measured the initial investment cost of available-for-sale equity instruments using the
weighted average method.
When an impairment loss on a financial asset carried at amortized cost has been incurred, the
amount of loss is measured at the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present
value of estimated future cash flows (excluding future credit losses that have not been incurred). If
there is objective evidence that the value of the financial asset recovered and the recovery is related
objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognized, the previously recognized
impairment loss is reversed and the amount of reversal is recognized in profits or losses.
When an impairment loss on available-for-sale financial assets incurred, the cumulative losses
arising from the decline in fair value that had been recognized directly in equity are transferred out
from equity and into impairment loss. For an investment in debt instrument classified as
available-for-sale on which impairment losses have been recognized, if, in a subsequent period, its
fair value increases and the increase can be objectively related to an event occurring after the
impairment loss was recognized in profit or loss, the previously recognized impairment loss is
88
2015 Annual Report of Wuxi Little Swan Company Limited
reversed into profit or loss for the current period. For an investment in an equity instrument
classified as available-for-sale on which impairment losses have been recognized, the increase in its
fair value in a subsequent period is recognized directly in equity.
If an impairment loss incurred on a financial asset carried at amortized cost, the amount of loss is
measured as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated
future cash flows discounted at the current market rate of return for a similar financial asset and
cannot be revert in the subsequent periods.
V Summary of significant accounting policies and accounting estimates (continued)
9 Financial Instruments (continued)
(a) Financial assets (continued)
(iv) Derecognition of financial assets
Financial assets are derecognised when: i) the contractual rights to receive the cash flows from the
financial assets have expired; or ii) substantial risks and rewards of ownership of the financial assets
have been transferred; or iii) the control over the financial asset has been waived even if the
Company and its subsidiaries does not transfer or retain nearly all of the risks and rewards relating
to the ownership of a financial asset.
On derecognition of a financial asset, the difference between the carrying amount and the aggregate
of consideration received and the accumulative amount of the changes of fair value originally
recorded in the owner’s equity is recognised in the profit or loss.
(b) Financial liabilities
Financial liabilities are classified into the following categories at initial recognition: the financial
liabilities at fair value through profit or loss and other financial liabilities. The financial liabilities in
the Company and its subsidiaries mainly comprise of other financial liabilities, including payables
and borrowings.
Payables comprise accounts payable and other payables, which are recognised initially at fair value
and measured subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
Borrowings are recognised initially at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred, and subsequently
carried at amortised costs using the effective interest method.
Other financial liabilities are classified as current liabilities if they mature within one year (one year
included); others are classified as non-current liabilities; non-current liabilities due for repayment
within one year since the balance sheet date are classified as current portion of non-current
liabilities.
A financial liability (or a part of financial liability) is derecognised when and only when the
obligation specified in the contract is discharged or cancelled. The difference between the carrying
amount of a financial liability (or a part of financial liability) extinguished and the consideration
89
2015 Annual Report of Wuxi Little Swan Company Limited
paid is recognised in profit or loss.
(c) Determination of the fair value of the financial instruments
The fair value of a financial instrument that is traded in an active market is determined at the quoted
price in the active market. The fair value of a financial instrument for which the market is not active is
determined by using a valuation technique. Valuation techniques include using prices of recent market
transactions between knowledgeable, willing parties, reference to the current fair value of another
financial asset that is substantially the same with this instrument, and discounted cash flow analysis.
When a valuation technique is used to establish the fair value of a financial instrument, management
uses market data as much as possible and avoids use of data that is particularly related to the
Company and its subsidiaries.
V Summary of significant accounting policies and accounting estimates (continued)
10 Receivables
(1) The recognition criteria and method of provision for impairment of receivables those are
individually significant:
The criteria for individually significant receivables: the amount of account receivable individually
accounts for over 10% (including 10%) of total amount of accounts receivable on balance sheet date
or is individually more than RMB 10,000,000.00 (including RMB 10,000,000.00); the amount of

receivable on balance sheet date or is individually more than RMB 5,000,000.00 (including RMB
5,000,000.00);
The provision for impairment of the receivables that are individually significant is established at the
difference between the carrying amount of the receivable and the present value of estimated future
cash flows.
(2) The recognition criteria and method of provision for impairment of receivables grouped on the basis
of similar credit risk:
Group Provision of bad debt method
Group based on aging of receivables Aging analysis method

individually significant:
Receivables that are not individually significant are subject to separate impairment assessment if
there is objective evidence that the Company and its subsidiaries will not be able to collect the full
amounts according to the original terms.
The provision for impairment of the receivables is established at the difference between the carrying
amount of the receivables and the present value of estimated future cash flows.
When the Company and its subsidiaries transfer the accounts receivable to the financial institutions
without recourse, the difference between the proceeds received from the transaction and their
carrying amounts and the related taxes is recognised in profit or loss for the current period.

(b) Determination of cost
Cost is determined on the weighted average method. The cost of finished goods and work in
progress comprises raw materials, direct labour and an allocation of all production overhead
expenditures incurred based on normal operating capacity.
(c) The determination of net realizable value and the method of provisions for impairment of inventories
Provisions for declines in the value of inventories are determined at the carrying value of the
inventories net of their net realizable value. Net realizable value is determined based on the
estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated costs to completion and
estimated costs necessary to make the sale and relevant taxes.
(d) The Company and its sudsidiaries adopt the perpetual inventory system.
(e) Amortisation methods of low value consumables and packaging materials

12 Long-term equity investments (continued)
(b) Subsequent measurement and recognition of related profits and losses
For long-term equity investments accounted for using the cost method, they are measured at the
initial investment costs, and cash dividends or profits distribution declared by the investees are
recognised as investment income in profits or losses.
For long-term equity investments accounted for using the equity method, where the initial
investment cost of a long-term equity investment exceeds the Company and its subsidiaries’ share of
the fair value of the investee’s identifiable net assets at the acquisition date, the long-term equity
investment is measured at the initial investment cost; where the initial investment cost is less than
the share of the Company and its subsidiaries of the fair value of the investee’s identifiable net
assets at the acquisition date, the difference is included in profits or losses and the cost of the
long-term equity investment is adjusted upwards accordingly.
For long-term equity investments accounted for using the equity method, the Company and its
subsidiaries recognize the investment income according to its share of net profit or loss of the
investee. The Company and its subsidiaries discontinue recognizing its share of net losses of an
investee after the carrying amount of the long-term equity investment together with any long-term
interests that, in substance, form part of the investor’s net investment in the investee are reduced to
92

zero. However, if the Company and its subsidiaries have obligations for additional losses and the
criteria with respect to recognition of provisions under the accounting standards on contingencies
are satisfied, the Company and its subsidiaries continue recognizing the investment losses and the
provisions. For changes in owners’ equity of the investee other than those arising from its net profit
or loss,other comprehensive income and profit distribution, the Company and its subsidiaries record
its proportionate share directly into capital surplus, provided that the proportion of the Company and
its subsidiaries of shareholding in the investee remains unchanged. The carrying amount of the
investment is reduced by the share of the Company and its subsidiaries of the profit distribution or
cash dividends declared by an investee. The unrealized profits or losses arising from the intra-group
transactions amongst the Company, its subsidiaries and its investees are eliminated in proportion to
the equity of the Company and its subsidiaries interest in the investees, and then based on which the
investment gains or losses are recognised. For the loss on the intra-group transaction amongst the
Company, its subsidiaries and its investees attributable to asset impairment, any unrealized loss is
not eliminated.
(c) Basis for determine existence of control, joint control or significant influence over investees
Control is the power to govern the financial and operating policies of the investee so as to obtain
benefits from its operating activities. When determining whether to control the investees or not, the
potential voting rights, of which convertible bonds and executable warrants issued by the investees
in current period, should be considered as well.
Joint control is the contractually agreed sharing of control over an economic activity, and exists only
when the strategic financial and operating decisions relating to the activity require the unanimous
consent of the parties sharing control.
Significant influence is the power to participate in the financial and operating policy decisions of the
investee, but is not control or joint control over those policies.

12 Long-term equity investments (continued)
(d) Impairment of long-term equity investments
The carrying amount of long-term equity investments in subsidiaries and associates is reduced to the
recoverable amount when the recoverable amount is less than the carrying amount (Note V (18)).
13 Investment properties
Method of depreciation or amortization
Investment properties, including land use rights that have already been leased out and buildings that
are held for the purpose of leasing, are measured initially at cost. Subsequent expenditures incurred
in relation to an investment property are included in the cost of the investment property when it is
probable that the associated economic benefits will flow to the Company and its subsidiaries and
their costs can be reliably measured; otherwise, the expenditures are recognised in profit or loss in
93
2015 Annual Report of Wuxi Little Swan Company Limited
the period in which they are incurred.
The Company and its subsidiaries adopt the cost model for subsequent measurement of investment
properties. Buildings and land use rights are depreciated or amortised to their estimated net residual
values over their estimated useful lives. The estimated useful lives, the estimated net residual values
that are expressed as a percentage of cost and the annual depreciation (amortisation) rates of
investment properties are as follows:
Estimated useful Estimated residual Annual depreciation
lives value (amortization) rates
Buildings 20-35 years 5.00% 2.71% to 4.75%
Land use rights 50 years - 2.00%
When an investment property is transferred to owner-occupied properties, it is reclassified as fixed
asset or intangible asset at the date of the transfer. When an owner-occupied property is transferred
out for earning rentals or for capital appreciation, the fixed asset or intangible asset is reclassified as
investment properties at its carrying amount at the date of the transfer.
The investment property’s estimated useful life, net residual value and depreciation (amortization)
method applied are reviewed and adjusted as appropriate at each year-end.
An investment property is derecognised on disposal or when the investment property is permanently
withdrawn from use and no future economic benefits are expected from its disposal. The net amount
of proceeds from sale, transfer, retirement or damage of an investment property after its carrying
amount and related taxes and expenses are recognised in profit or loss for the current period.
The carrying amount of an investment property is reduced to the recoverable amount if the
recoverable amount is below the carrying amount (Note V (18)).
V Summary of significant accounting policies and accounting estimates (continued)
14 Fixed assets
(a) Recognition and initial measurement of fixed assets
Fixed assets comprise buildings, machinery and equipment, motor vehicles and office equipment,
etc.
Fixed assets are recognized when it is probable that the related economic benefits will flow to the
Company and its subsidiaries and the costs can be reliably measured. Fixed assets purchased or
constructed by the Company and its subsidiaries are initially measured at cost at the acquisition
date.
Subsequent expenditures incurred for fixed assets are included in the cost of the fixed assets when it
is probable that the associated economic benefits will flow to the Company and its subsidiaries and
the related costs can be reliably measured. The carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognised.
All the other subsequent expenditures are recognized in profit or loss in the period in which they are
94
2015 Annual Report of Wuxi Little Swan Company Limited
incurred.
(b) Depreciation
Fixed assets are depreciated using the straight-line method to allocate the cost of the assets to their
estimated residual values over their estimated useful lives. For the fixed assets being provided for
impairment loss, the related depreciation charge is prospectively determined based upon the
adjusted carrying amounts over their remaining useful lives.
The estimated useful lives, estimated residual values expressed as a percentage of cost and annual
depreciation rates are as follows:
Method of Estimated Annual
depreciation Estimated residual value Depreciation rate
Straight-line
Buildings method 20-35 years 5.00% 2.71%-4.75%
Machinery and Straight-line
equipment method 10-15 years 5.00% 6.33%-9.50%
Motor vehicles Straight-line method 5 years 5.00% 19%
Office Straight-line
equipment method 3-5 years 5.00% 19%-31.67%
(c) The carrying amount of fixed assets is reduced to the recoverable amount when the recoverable
amount is less than the carrying amount (Note V(18)).
V Summary of significant accounting policies and accounting estimates (continued)
14 Fixed assets (continued)
(d) Disposal
A fixed asset is derecognized on disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from its
use or disposal. The amount of proceeds on sale, transfer, retirement or damage of a fixed asset net
of its carrying amount and related taxes and expenses is recognized in profit or loss.
15 Construction in progress
Construction in progress is measured at actual cost. Actual cost comprises construction costs,
installation costs, borrowing costs that are eligible for capitalization and other costs necessary to
bring the fixed assets ready for their intended use. Construction in progress is transferred to fixed
assets when the assets are ready for their intended use, and depreciation begins from the following
month. The carrying amount of construction in progress is reduced to the recoverable amount when
the recoverable amount is less than the carrying amount (Note V (18)).
16 Borrowing costs
95
2015 Annual Report of Wuxi Little Swan Company Limited
The borrowing costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition and construction of a fixed asset
that needs a substantially long period of time for its intended use commence to be capitalized and
recorded as part of the cost of the asset when expenditures for the asset and borrowing costs have
been incurred, and the activities relating to the acquisition and construction that are necessary to
prepare the asset for its intended use have commenced. The capitalization of borrowing costs ceases
when the asset under acquisition or construction becomes ready for its intended use, the borrowing
costs incurred thereafter are recognized in profit or loss. Capitalization of borrowing costs is
suspended when the acquisition or construction of a fixed asset is interrupted abnormally and the
interruption lasts for more than 3 months, until the acquisition or construction is resumed.
For the specific borrowings obtained for the acquisition or construction of a fixed asset qualifying
for capitalization, the amount of borrowing costs eligible for capitalisation is determined by
deducting any interest income earned from depositing the unused specific borrowings in the banks
or any investment income arising on the temporary investment of those borrowings during the
capitalization period.
For the general borrowings obtained for the acquisition or construction of a fixed asset qualifying
for capitalization, the amount of borrowing costs eligible for capitalization is determined by
applying the weighted average effective interest rate of general borrowings, to the weighted average
of the excess amount of cumulative expenditures on the asset over the amount of specific
borrowings. The effective interest rate is the rate at which the estimated future cash flows during the
period of expected duration of the borrowings or applicable shorter period are discounted to the
initial amount of the borrowings.
V Summary of significant accounting policies and accounting estimates (continued)
17 Intangible assets
Intangible assets include land use rights, non-patented technology and computer soft wares, which
initially recognized at cost.
(a) Land use rights
A land use right granted by government with a infinite useful life would not be amortised. Other
land use rights are amortised on the straight-line basis over 50 years. If the acquisition costs of land
use rights and the buildings located thereon cannot be reliably allocated between the land use rights
and the buildings, all of the acquisition costs are recognised as fixed assets.
(b) Non-patented technology
Non-patented technology are amortised on the straight-line basis over the shorter of their
useful life/benefit period stipulated in the agreement or contract and the legal age.
(c) Computer softwares
Computer softwares purchased by the Company and its subsidiaries are initially measured at cost,
which are amortised on the straight-line over their approved useful period of 3-5 years.
96
2015 Annual Report of Wuxi Little Swan Company Limited
(d) Periodical review of useful life and amortisation method
For an intangible asset with a finite useful life, review of its useful life and amortisation method is
performed at each year-end, with adjustment made as appropriate.
(e) Research and development
The expenditure on an internal research and development project is classified into expenditure on
the research phase and expenditure on the development phase based on its nature and whether there
is material uncertainty that the research and development activities can form an intangible asset at
end of the project.
Expenditure for investigation, evaluation and selection of production process researches is
recognised in profit or loss in the period in which it is incurred. Expenditure on the designation,
assessment of the final utilization of the production process before mass production, is capitalised
only if all of the following conditions are satisfied:
development of the production process has been fully demonstrated by the technical team;
management has approved the budget of production development;
existed market research analysis suggests that the products produced by the new production
technology are able to be promoted;
adequate technical, financial and other resources to complete the development and subsequent
mass production and the ability to use or sell the intangible asset; and
the expenditure attributable to the intangible asset during its development phase can be reliably
measured.
V Summary of significant accounting policies and accounting estimates (continued)
17 Intangible assets (continued)
(e) Research and development (continued)
Other development expenditures that do not meet the conditions above are recognised in profit or
loss in the period in which they are incurred. Development costs previously recognised as expenses
are not recognised as an asset in a subsequent period. Capitalised expenditure on the development
phase is presented as development costs in the balance sheet and transferred to intangible assets at
the date that the asset is ready for its intended use.
(f) Impairment of intangible assets
The carrying amount of intangible assets is reduced to the recoverable amount when the recoverable
amount is less than the carrying amount (Note V (18)).
18 Impairment of long-term assets
97
2015 Annual Report of Wuxi Little Swan Company Limited
Fixed assets, construction in progress, intangible assets with finite useful lives, investment
properties measured using the cost model and long-term equity investments in subsidiaries and
associates are tested for impairment if there is any indication that an asset may be impaired at the
balance sheet date. Intangible assets which are not yet ready to use should be tested at least annually
for impairment, irrespective of whether there is any indication that it may be impaired. If the result
of the impairment test indicates that the recoverable amount of the asset is less than its carrying
amount, a provision for impairment and an impairment loss are recognised for the amount by which
the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of
an asset’s fair value less costs to sell and the present value of the future cash flows expected to be
derived from the asset. Provision for asset impairment is determined and recognised on the
individual asset basis. If it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset,
the recoverable amount of a group of assets to which the asset belongs is determined. A group of
assets is the smallest identifiable group of assets that is able to generate independent cash inflows.
Intangible assets with infinite useful lives and capitalized development expenditures are tested at
least annually for impairment, irrespective of whether there is any indication that it may be
impaired.
Once the above asset impairment loss is recognised, it will not be reversed for the value recovered in
the subsequent periods.
19 Long-term prepaid expenses
Long-term prepaid expenses include the expenditure for improvements to fixed assets under
operating leases, and other expenditures that have been made but should be recgonised as expenses
over more than one year in the current and subsequent periods. Long-term prepaid expenses are
amortised on the straight-line basis over the expected beneficial period and are presented at actual
expenditure net of accumulated amortization.
V Summary of significant accounting policies and accounting estimates (continued)
20 Employee benefits
(a) Short-term employee benefits
Short-term employee benefits mainly include wages or salaries, bonus, allowances and subsidies,
staff welfare, medical insurance, work injury insurance, maternity insurance, housing funds, and
union running costs and employee education costs. The employee benefits are recognised in the
accounting period in which the service has been rendered by the employees, and as costs of assets or
expenses to whichever the employee service is attributable.
(b) Pension obligations
The Company and its subsidiaries operate various post-employment schemes, including both
defined benefit plans and defined contribution plans. A defined contribution plan is a pension plan
98
2015 Annual Report of Wuxi Little Swan Company Limited
under which the Company and its subsidiaries pay fixed contributions into a separate entity then the
Company and its subsidiaries have no legal or constructive obligations to pay further contributions.
In the reporting period, The Company and its subsidiaries’s pension obligations mainly include the
basic endowment insurance and unemployment insurance; both belong to the defined contribution
plan.
Pension insurance
Employees of the Company and its subsidiaries participate in the social pension insurance organized
by the local labour and social security departments. The Company and its subsidiaries pay pension
insurance premium to the pension insurance agency with the local provision of social pension
insurance base pay and proportional monthly. When the employee is retired, the local labour and
social security departments have the responsibility to pay the basic pension insurance to retired
employees
(c) Termination benefits
Termination benefits are payable when employment is terminated by the Company and its
subsidiaries before the normal retirement date, or whenever an employee accepts voluntary
redundancy in exchange for these benefits. the Company and its subsidiaries recognise termination
benefits at the earlier of the following dates, when the Company and its subsidiaries can no longer
withdraw the offer of those benefits and when the entity recognises costs related to restructuring.
Retirement benefits
The Company and its subsidiaries provide termination benefits to employees who accept voluntary
redundancy in exchange for these benefits. Termination benefits are the payments of wages or
salaries and social insurance for the employees who accept termination plan before the normal retire
age. The termination benefits plan covers the period from the starting date of termination benefit
plan to the normal retire age. When the Company and its subsidiaries terminate the employment
relationship with employees before the end of the employment contract, a provision for termination
benefits for the compensation arising from termination of the employment relationship with
employees to the retire age is recognised with a corresponding change to profit or loss. The
difference from change of actuarial assumptions and adjustment on benefit is recognised in the
current profits and losses.
Retirement benefits falling due within a year are reclassified as a current liability.

2015 Annual Report of Wuxi Little Swan Company Limited
21 Dividend distribution
Cash dividends distribution is recognised as a liability in the period in which it is approved by the
annual shareholders’ meeting.
22 Provisions
Provisions for product warranties, onerous contracts etc. are recognised when the Company and its
subsidiaries has a present obligation, it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be
required to settle the obligation, and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably.
A provision is initially measured at the best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the related
present obligation. Factors surrounding a contingency, such as the risks, uncertainties and the time
value of money, are taken into account as a whole in reaching the best estimate of a provision.
Where the effect of the time value of money is material, the best estimate is determined by
discounting the related future cash outflows. The increase in the discounted amount of the provision
arising from passage of time is recognised as interest expense.
The carrying amount of provisions is reviewed at each balance sheet date and adjusted to reflect the
current best estimate.
23 Share-based payments
24 Revenue recognition
The amount of revenue is determined in accordance with the fair value of the consideration received
or receivable for the sale of goods and services in the ordinary course of the Company and its
subsidiaries’s activities. Revenue is shown net of discounts and returns.
Revenue is recognized when the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the
Company and its subsidiaries, the relevant revenue can be reliably measured and specific revenue
recognition criteria have been met for each of the Company and its subsidiaries’ activities as
described below:
V Summary of significant accounting policies and accounting estimates (continued)
24 Revenue recognition (continued)
(a) Sales of goods
100
2015 Annual Report of Wuxi Little Swan Company Limited
The Company and its subsidiaries are engaged in manufacturing and sales of washing
machines. Revenue from sales of goods is recognized when the goods and confirmed documents are
delivered, significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods are transferred to the customers,
the Company and its subsidiaries retain neither continuing managerial involvement to the degree
usually associated with the ownership nor effective control over the goods sold, relevant
consideration or the documents which grant the right to receive the relevant consideration has been
received, and related costs can be measured reliably.
During the reporting period,the Company and its subsidiaries sale goods mainly through dealers,
large-scale chain retailers, e-business platform and export to foreign countries. Revenue is
recognized when products accepted by dealers, chain retailerss and third-party e-business sellers.
After the acceptance, the risks of damage of goods or price fluctuations and the right to sale goods
belongs to dealers, chain retailers and e-business sellers. As for self-operation e-business website,
revenue is recognized when products accepted by ultimate customers. As for export sales, revenue is
recognized when goods are delivered to customs, ships go across the appointed ports and the
Company and its subsidiaries get the bills of landing.
(b) Transfer of asset use rights
Interest income is determined by using the effective interest method, based on the length of time for
which the cash of the Company and its subsidiaries is used by others.
Income from an operating lease is recognised on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease.
25 Government grants
Government grants are the monetary asset that the Company and its subsidiaries received from the
government for free, including tax refund, financial subsidies, etc.
A government grant is recognized when the conditions attached to it can be complied with and the
government grant can be received. For a government grant in the form of transfer of monetary
assets, the grant is measured at the amount received or receivable. For a government grant in the
form of transfer of non-monetary assets, the grant is measured at nominal value.
(a) Government grants related to assets
The government grants related to assets mean the government assets that are obtained by enterprises
used for purchase or construction, or forming the long-term assets by other ways. The government
grants related to income refer to all the government grants except those pertinent to assets.
A government grant related to an asset is recognized as deferred income, and evenly amortized to
profit or loss over the useful life of the related asset.
V Summary of significant accounting policies and accounting estimates (continued)
25 Government grants (continued)
(b) Government grants related to income
For government grants related to income, where the grant is a compensation for related expenses or
101
2015 Annual Report of Wuxi Little Swan Company Limited
losses to be incurred by the Company and its subsidiaries in the subsequent periods, the grant is
recognized as deferred income, and included in profit or loss over the periods in which the related
costs are recognized; where the grant is a compensation for related expenses or losses already
incurred by the Company and its subsidiaries, the grant is recognized immediately in profit or loss
for the current period.
26 Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities
Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are calculated and recognised based on the differences
arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts (temporary
differences). Deferred tax asset is recognised for the deductible losses that can be carried forward to
subsequent years for deduction of the taxable profit in accordance with the tax laws. No deferred tax
asset or deferred tax liability is recognised for the temporary differences resulting from the initial
recognition of assets or liabilities due to a transaction other than a business combination, which
affects neither accounting profit nor taxable profit (or deductible loss). At the balance sheet date,
deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply
to the period when the asset is realised or the liability is settled.
Deferred tax assets are only recognised for deductible temporary differences, deductible losses and
tax credits to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available in the future against
which the deductible temporary differences, deductible losses and tax credits can be utilised.
Deferred tax liabilities are recognized for temporary differences arising from investments in
subsidiaries and associates, unless the Company is able to control the timing of the reversal of the
temporary difference, and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the
foreseeable future. When it is probable that the temporary differences arising from investments in
subsidiaries and associates will be reversed in the foreseeable future and that the taxable profit will be
available in the future against which the temporary differences can be utilized, the corresponding
deferred tax assets are recognized.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when:
The deferred taxes are relate to the same tax payer within the Company and its subsidiaries
and the same taxation authority, and;
That tax payer has a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets against current tax
liabilities
27 Operating lease
Lease payments under an operating lease are recognized on a straight-line basis over the period of the
lease, and are either capitalized as part of the cost of related assets, or charged as an expense for the
current period.
28 Segment information
The Company and its subsidiaries identify operating segments based on the internal organisation
structure, management requirements and the internal reporting system, and discloses segment
102
2015 Annual Report of Wuxi Little Swan Company Limited
information of reportable segments determined on the basis of operating segments.
V Summary of significant accounting policies and accounting estimates (continued)
28 Segment information (continued)
An operating segment is a component of the Company and its subsidiaries that satisfy all of the
following conditions:
(a) the component is able to earn revenues and incur expenses from its ordinary activities.
(b) whose operating results are regularly reviewed by the Company and its subsidiaries’
management to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and to assess its
performance.
(c) for which the information on financial position, operating results and cash flows is available to
the Company and its subsidiaries. If two or more operating segments have similar economic
characteristics, and satisfy certain conditions, they are aggregated into a single operating segment.
29 Critical accounting policies and estimates
The Company and its subsidiaries continually evaluate the critical accounting estimates and key
judgments applied based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future
events that are believed to be reasonable.
(a) Critical accounting estimates and key assumptions
The critical accounting estimates and key assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material
adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are outlined
below:
(i) Accounting estimates on impairment of accounts receivable
In accordance with the accounting policy of the Company and its subsidiaries (Note V (10)), the
Company’s management tests annually whether receivables have suffered any impairment. Impairment
of receivables has been assessed by taking into account the customers’ credit history and financial
position together with the current market conditions. Even if the Company and its subsidiaries’
management has made bad debt provision for the expected loss at its best estimate, there is a
possibility that changes in customers’ financial position or market conditions will alter the result.
(ii) Accounting estimates on impairment of inventories
In accordance with the accounting policy of the Company and its subsidiaries (Note V (11) (c)), the
management of the Company and its subsidiaries estimate the net realizable value of the inventory. Net
realisable value is determined based on the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business,
less the estimated costs to completion and estimated costs necessary to make the sale and related taxes.
Even if the management of the Company and its subsidiaries have made provision for the expected
impairment of inventories at its best estimate, there is a possibility that changes in market conditions
will alter the result.
103
2015 Annual Report of Wuxi Little Swan Company Limited
(iii) Estimated residual value and useful lives of fixed assets, investment properties and intangible assets
The Company and its subsidiaries’ management estimates the useful lives and residual value of fixed
assets, investment properties and intangible assets. Fixed assets comprise buildings, machinery and
equipment, motor vehicles, office and electronic equipment, ect. Investment properties comprise
buildings and land use rights, ect. Intangible assets include land use rights, non-patent technology
and computer softwares, ect. The three kinds of assets mentioned above have been assessed by taking
into account the actual residul value and useful lives of assets with similar nature and function based
on historical experience. However, there is a possibility that changes in technical renovation or other
reason will alter the result. The management of the Company and its subsidiaries will increase
depreciation and amortizations when the residual value and estimated useful lives are less than the
previous estimate.
V Summary of significant accounting policies and accounting estimates (continued)
29 Critical accounting policies and estimates (continued)
(iv) Accounting estimates on impairment of fixed assets, intangible assets and other long-term assets
Fixed asssets, intangible assets and other long-term assets are reviewed for impairment if there is
any incident or environmental change that the value of the asset may be impossible to recover. The
recoverable amount is determined by the useful value or market value calculated which judgement
and estimate should be applied to.
The management of the Company and its subsidiaries shall determine the asset impairment,
especially when judging any of the incidents below: (i) if there is any indication that value of related
assets may be impossible to recover; (ii) whether the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs to sell
and the present value of the future cash flows expected to be derive form the asset based on the
continuous operation is higher than its carrying amount; (iii) whether the main assumptions of cash
flows forecasting are applied appropriately, including whether the cash flows forcasting is
discounted in a proper rate. Even if the management of the Company and its subsidiaries have chosen
proper assumptions for impairment assessment (including assumptions for discount rate and growth
rate for cash flow forecast), there is a possibility that changes in the assumptions will have significant
effect on the result.
(v) Sales rebates
The Company and its subsidiaries apply the rebating policies with buyers. The amount of the rebates
is estimated periodically taking into account related sales contracts, examination of particular
transactions, market environment, inventory stock, historical experiences and the agreed indicator of
particular customers. As it determined by the judgement and estimation of management, there is a
possibility that changes in the estimation will have significant effect on the provision of sales rebates
of the period when the changes occurred.
(vi) Income taxes
104
2015 Annual Report of Wuxi Little Swan Company Limited
The Company and its subsidiaries are subject to income taxes in different jurisdictions. There are
many transactions and events for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain during the
ordinary course of business. Significant judgment is required from the management in determining
the provision for income taxes in each of these jurisdictions. The Company and its subsidiaries
recognise income taxes in each jurisdiction based on estimates. Where the final tax outcome of these
matters is different from the amounts that were initially recorded, such differences will impact the
income tax and deferred tax provisions in the period in which such determination is made.
VI Taxation
1 The types and rates of taxes applicable to the Company and its subsidiaries are set out below:
Types Taxable base Tax rate
Taxable value added amount (tax payable

XII Fair value disclosure
1 Closing balance of assets and liabilities measured at fair value
Based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety, the fair
value hierarchy has the following levels:
Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included within level 1 that are observable for the asset or
liability, either directly (that is, as prices) or indirectly (that is, derived from prices).
Level 3: Inputs for the assets or liabilities that are not based on observable market data (that is,
unobservable inputs).
XII Fair value disclosure (continued)
1 Closing balance of assets and liabilities measured at fair value (continued)
The fair value of a financial instrument that is traded in an active market is determined at the quoted
price in the active market. The fair value of a financial instrument for which the market is not active is
determined by using a valuation technique. Valuation techniques include cash flow discount model and
market comparable company model. The input of valuation techniques mainly include risk free rate,
benchmark interest rate, exchange rate, credit spreads, liquidity premium, EBITDA multiplier and
lack of liquidity discount,etc.
As at 31 December 2015, the financial assets measured at fair value by the above three levels are
analysed below:

2 Valuation technique and qualitative and quantitative information of significant parameter used
by instruments measured at fair value by Level 3 on a continuous and non-continuous basis
As at 31 December 2015, the Company and its subsidiaries’ financial assets measured at fair value by
Level 3 are financial product investments with floating income and unprotected principles. The fair
value is determined by the Company and its subsidiaries using valuation techniques.
3 Reasons of conversion among levels and policies of determining conversion date of instruments
measured at fair value on a continuous basis
The Company and its subsidiaries consider the date of events leading the conversion between
different levels as the conversion recognizing date. In 2015, there was no conversion between Level 1
and Level 2.
4 The movement of financial assets measured at fair value by Level 3

2015 Annual Report of Wuxi Little Swan Company Limited
5 Financial instruments not measured at fair value
Available-for-sale financial assets measured in cost model are investments on shares of unlisted
companies, which have no quoted price in the active market and the range of reasonable estimation
of their fair value is relatively wide and probabilities used to determine the estimation cannot be
ascertained reasonably. Therefore, the fair values cannot be measured reliably.
Financial assets and liabilities measured at amortized cost mainly represent receivables and
payables.
The book value of financial assets and liabilities not measured at fair value are close to their fair
value.

Company and its subsidiaries’ ability to continue operating, in order to provide returns for
