Significant Accounting Policies and Estimates 1. Accounting period Accounting periods of the Company are divided into annual periods and interim periods. Interim periods refer to reporting periods that are shorter than a full fiscal year. The fiscal year of the Company is from 1 January to 31 December of each calendar year. 2. Reporting currency The Company and its domestic subsidiaries recognise RMB as their reporting currency according to the primary economic environment in which they operate. The reporting currency of the Company and its domestic subsidiaries is Renminbi (“RMB”). Overseas subsidiaries of the Company recognise U.S. dollar as their reporting currency according to the primary economic environment in which these subsidiaries operate. The Group prepares its financial statements in RMB. 3. Accounting treatment of business combination A business combination refers to the transaction or event to combine two or more separate entities into a single reporting entity. Business combination is classified into business combination under common control and business combination not under common control. (1) Business combination under common control A business combination involving enterprises under common control is a business combination in which all of the combining enterprises are ultimately controlled by the same party or parties before and after the combination, and that control is not transitory. The party that, on the combination date, obtains control of another enterprise participating in the combination is the absorbing party, while that other enterprise participating in the combination is a party being absorbed. The combination date is the date on which one combining enterprise effectively obtains control of the other combining enterprises. Assets and liabilities obtained by the absorbing party are measured at their carrying amount at the combination date as recorded by the party being merged. The difference between the carrying amount of the net assets obtained and the carrying amount of the consideration paid for the combination (or the aggregate nominal value of shares issued as consideration) is charged to the capital reserve (share capital premium). If the capital reserve (share capital premium) is not sufficient to absorb the difference, any excess shall be adjusted against retained earnings. Cost incurred by the absorbing party that is directly attributable to the business combination shall be charged to profit or loss in the period in which they are incurred. 42 IV. Significant Accounting Policies and Estimates (Cont’d) 3. Accounting treatment of business combination (Cont’d) (2) Business combination not under common control A business combination not involving enterprises under common control is a business combination in which all of the combining enterprises are not ultimately controlled by the same party or parties before and after the combination. For a business combination not involving enterprises under common control, the party that, on the acquisition date, obtains control of another enterprise participating in the combination is the acquirer, while that other enterprise participating in the combination is the acquiree. The acquisition date is the date on which the acquirer effectively obtains control of the acquiree. For business combination involving entities not under common control, the cost of a business combination is the aggregate of the fair values, on the date of acquisition, of assets given, liabilities incurred or assumed, and equity instruments issued by the acquirer to be paid by the acquirer, in exchange for control of the acquire plus agency fee such as audit, legal service and evaluation consultation and other management fees charged to the profit or loss for the period when incurred. As equity or bond securities are issued by the acquirer as consideration, any attributable transaction cost is included their initial costs. Adjustments for cost of combination which are likely to occur and can be measured reliably will be recognised as contingent consideration. Subsequent adjustments will impact on the goodwill. Involved or contingent consideration charged to the combination cost according to its fair value in the acquisition date, the combined goodwill be will be adjusted if new or addition evidence existed about the condition in the acquisition date within twelve months after the acquisition date, which is required to adjust the contingent consideration. When the business combination is achieved in stages through a number of exchange transactions, the Group re-measures its previously held equity interest in the acquiree on the acquisition date, and the difference between the fair value and the net book value is recognised as investment income for the period in the consolidated financial statements of the Group, in the meanwhile, the other comprehensive income related to the equity interest of acquiree held before the acquisition date is transferred to investment income for the period. The cost of combination is the sum of the fair value of the equity interest of the acquiree as at the acquisition date which held before the acquisition date and the fair value of the equity interest of the acquiree as at the acquisition date which additional acquired in the acquisition date. The combination cost incurred by the acquirer and the identifiable net assets acquired from the combination are measured at their fair values. Where the cost of a business combination exceeds the acquirer’s interest in the fair value of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets on the acquisition date, the difference is recognised as goodwill. Where the cost of a business combination is less than the acquirer’s interest in the fair value of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets, the acquirer shall first reassess the measurement of the fair value of the acquiree’s identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities and the measurement of the cost of combination. If after such reassessment the cost of combination is still less than the acquirer’s interest in the fair value of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets, the difference is charged to profit or loss for the period. The acquiree’s deductible temporary difference acquired by the acquirer, which is still not yet recognised as it does not satisfy the recognition conditions of the deferred income tax assets on the acquisition date. If new or addition information proves that the relevant circumstances have already existed on the acquisition date within twelve months after the acquisition date, which estimates that the economic benefits incurred from the deductible temporary difference at the acquisition date of acquirer can be realised, then the relevant deferred income tax assets will be recognised, and the goodwill will be reduced at the same time, if the goodwill is not sufficient be absorbed, any excess shall be recognised as the profit or loss for the period. Except as disclosed above, the deferred income tax assets related to the business combination are charged in the profit or loss for the period. 43 IV. Significant Accounting Policies and Estimates (Cont’d) 4. Basis for preparation of consolidated financial statements (1) Principle of determining the scope of consolidated financial statements The scope of consolidation of the consolidated financial statements is setermined on the basis of control. The term “control” means that the Company has the power to secide an investee’s financial and operating policy. The scope of consolidation includes the Company and all of its subsidiaries. A subsidiary is a business or entity controlled by the Company. (2) Basis for preparation of the consolidated financial statements Subsidiaries are consolidated from the date on which the Group obtains net assets and the effective control of decision making of production and operation and are deconsolidated from the date that such control ceases. For disposal of subsidiaries, the operating results and cash flows of such subsidiaries before the date of disposal are properly included into the consolidated income statement and consolidated cash flows statements; for disposal of subsidiaries during the reporting period, no adjustment shall be made to the opening balance of the consolidated balance sheet. For those subsidiaries acquired through business combination not under common control, the operating results and cash flows after the acquisition date have been properly included in the consolidated income statements and consolidated cash flows statements. No adjustments shall be made to the opening balance of the consolidated balance sheet and the comparative consolidated financial statements amount. For those subsidiaries acquired through business combination under common control, the operating results and cash flows from the beginning of the consolidation period to the consolidation date are also presented in the consolidated income statement and the consolidated cash flows statements. The comparative amounts presented in the consolidated financial statements are also adjusted accordingly. The financial statements of the subsidiaries are adjusted in accordance with the accounting policies and accounting period of the Company in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements, where the accounting policies and the accounting periods are inconsistent between the Company and the subsidiaries. For subsidiaries acquired from business combination not under common control, the financial statements of the subisidiaries will be adjusted according to the fair value of the identifiable net assets. All intra-group significant balances, transactions and unrealised profit are eliminated in the consolidated financial statements. The shareholder s’ equity and the portion of the profit or loss for the period that is not attributable to the Company are presented separately under shareholders’ equity and net profit in the consolidated financial statements. The portion of net profit or loss of subsidiaries for the period attributable to minority interests is presented in the consolidated income statement under the” net profit” line item as “minority interests”. When the amount of loss attributable to the minority shareholders of a subsidiary exceeds the minority shareholders’ portion of the opening balance of owners’ equity of the subsidiary, the excess amount shall be allocated against minority interests. 5. Standards for recognising cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents of the Company include cash on hand, deposits readily available for payment purpose and short-term (normally fall due within three months from the date of acquisition) and highly liquid investments held the Company which are readily convertible into known amounts of cash and which are subject to insignificant risk of value change. 44 IV. Significant Accounting Policies and Estimates (Cont’d) 6. Foreign currency operations and translation of statements denominated in foreign currency (1) Basis for translation of foreign currency transactions The foreign currency transactions of the Company, when initially recognised, are translated into fuctional currency at the prevailing spot exchange rate on the date of exchange (usually refers to the middle rate of the exchange rate for the day as quoted by the People’s Bank of China, the same below) while the Company’s foreign currency exchange operations and transactions in connection with foreign currency exchange shall be translated into functional currency at the exchange rate actually adopted. (2) Basis for translation of foreign currency monetary items and foreign currency non-monetary items On the balance sheet date, foreign currency monetary items shall be translated at the spot exchange rate on the balance sheet date. All differences are included in the consolidated income statement, except for: (1) the differences arising from foreign currency borrowings related to the acquisition or construction of fixed assets which are qualified for capitalisation; and (2) except for other carrying amounts of the amortisation costs, the differences arising from changes of the foreign currency items available for sale. The foreign currency non-monetary items measured at historical cost shall still be measured by the functional currency translated at the spot exchange rate on the date of the transaction. Foreign currency non-monetary items measured at fair value are translated at the spot exchange rate on the date of determination of the fair value. The difference between the amounts of reporting currency before and after the translation will be treated as changes in fair value (including changes in foreign exchange rates) and recognised in profit or loss for the period or recognised as other consolidated income and included in the capital reserves. (3) Basis for translation of foreign currency financial statements Exchange differences arising from change in exchange rate where the preparation of consolidated financial statements relates to overseas operation and foreign currency monetary items materially constitute net investment in overseas operation shall be recorded into “translation reserve” in the shareholders’ equity: disposal of overseas operation shall be included into profits and losses on disposal in the current period. The financial statements denominated in foreign currency of a foreign operation are translated to RMB in comply with the following requirement: assets and liabilities on the balance sheet are translated at the spot exchange rate prevailing at the balance sheet date; owner’s equity items except for “retained profit” are translated at the spot exchange rates at the dates on which such items arose; income and expenses items in the income statement are translated at the spot exchange rate at the date of transaction. The retained profit brought forward are reported at the prior year’s closing balance; the retained profit as at the end of the year are presented after translated the profit appropriation items; differences between the aggregate of asset and liability items and owners’ equity items are recognised as “translation differences arising on the translation of financial statements denominated in foreign currencies” in other consolidated income, and presented separately as under owners’ equity items in the balance sheet. On disposal of foreign operations and loss of control, exchange differences arising from the translation of financial statements denominated in foreign currencies related to the disposed foreign operation which has been included in owners’ equity in the balance sheet, shall be transferred to profit or loss in whole or in proportionate share in the period in which the disposal took place. Cash flows dominated in foreign currency or from foreign subsidiaries shall be translated at the spot exchange rate when it incurs. Effects arising from changes of exchange rate of cash shall be presented separately in the cash flows statements. The opening balance and the prior year’s figures are presented according to the translated amounts of the prior year. 45 IV. Significant Accounting Policies and Estimates (Cont’d) 7. Financial instruments (I) Method of determination of the fair value for financial assets and financial liabilities The fair value refers to the amount, at which both willing parties to a fair transaction who are familiar with the condition exchange their assets or clear off their debts under fair conditions. Financial instruments exist in an active market. Fair value is determined based on the quoted price in such market. An active market refers to where pricing is easily and regularly obtained from exchanges, brokers, industrial organisations and price-fixing service organisations, representing the actual price of a market transaction that takes place in a fair deal. While financial instruments do not exist in an active market, the fair value is determined using valuation techniques. Valuation technologies include reference to be familiar with situation and prices reached in recent market transactions entered into by both willing parties, reference to present fair values of similar other financial instruments, cash flow discounting method and option pricing models. (2) Classification, recognition and measurement of the financial assets By way of buying and selling the financial assets in a regular way, recognition and derecognition are carried out according to the accounts on the transaction day. Financial assets are divided into financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, held-to-maturity investments, accounts receivable and available for-sale financial assets when they are initially recognised. Financial assets and financial liabilities are initially recognised at fair value. For financial assets and financial liabilities classified as fair value through profit or loss, relevant transaction costs are directly recognised in profit or loss for the period. For financial assets classified as other categories, relevant transaction costs are included in the amount initially recognised. ① Financial assets carried at fair value through profit or loss for the current period They include financial assets held for trading and financial assets designated as at fair value through profit or loss for the current period. The Group’s financial assets at fair value through profit or loss for the current period are all financial assets held for trading. Financial assets may be classified as financial assets held for trading if one of the following conditions is met: (1) the financial assets is acquired or incurred principally for the purpose of selling or repurchasing it in the near term; (2) the financial assets is part of a portfolio of identified financial instruments that are managed together and for which there is objective evidence of a recent pattern of short-term profit-taking; or (3) the financial assets is a derivative, excluding the derivatives designated as effective hedging instruments, the derivatives classified as financial guarantee contract, and the derivatives linked to an equity instrument investment which has no quoted price in an active market nor a reliably measured fair value and are required to be settled through that equity instrument. Financial assets held for trading are subsequently measured at fair value. The gain or loss arising from changes in fair value and dividends and interest income related to such financial assets are charged to profit or loss for the current period. ② Held-to-maturity investments They are non-derivative financial assets with fixed maturity dates and fixed or determinable payments that the Group has positive intent and ability to hold to maturity. Held-to-maturity investments are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Gain or loss on derecognition, impairment or amortisation is recognised through profit or loss for the current period. The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial asset and of allocating interest income or expense over each period based on the effective interest of a financial asset or a financial liability (including a group of financial assets or financial liabilities). The effective interest is the rate that discounts future cash flows from the financial asset or financial liability over its expected life or (where appropriate) a shorter period to the carrying amount of the financial asset or financial liability. In calculating the effective interest rate, the Group will estimate the future cash flows (excluding future credit losses) by taking into account all contract terms relating to the financial assets or financial liabilities whilst considering various fees, transaction costs and discounts or premiums which are part of the effective interest rate paid or received between the parties to the financial assets or financial liabilities contracts. 46 IV. Significant Accounting Policies and Estimates (Cont’d) 7. Financial instruments (Cont’d) (2) Classification, recognition and measurement of the financial assets (Cont’d) ③ Accounts receivable They are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. Financial assets, including bills receivable, accounts receivable, interest receivable, dividends receivable and other receivables, are classified as accounts receivable by the Group. The receivables that are formed in sale of goods or rendering of services to external parties, and the receivables, except for the debt instruments quoted in an active market, due to the Company from other entities, including accounts receivable, bills receivable, other receivables, long-term receivables, etc., are initially recognised at the consideration of the contract or agreement to be received from the buyers. Accounts receivable that are of a financing nature are initially recognised at their present value. Upon recovery or disposal of accounts receivable, the difference between the consideration obtained and the carrying amount is charged to profit or loss for the period. ④ Available-for-sale financial assets They include non-derivative financial assets that are designated in this category on initial recognition, and the financial assets other than the financial assets at fair value through profit and loss, loans and receivables and held-to-maturity investments. Available-for-sale financial assets are subsequently measured at fair value. The gain or loss on change in fair value are recognised as other comprehensive income and charged to capital reserves, except for impairment loss and exchange differences arising from foreign monetary financial assets and amortised cost which are accounted for through profit or loss for the current period. The financial assets will be transferred out of the financial assets on derecognition and accounted for through profit or loss for the current period. Interests received from available-for-sale financial assets held and the cash dividends declared by the investee are recognised as investment income. (3) Impairment of financial assets In addition to financial assets at fair value through profit or loss for the current period, the Group reviews the book value of other financial assets at each balance sheet date and provide for impairment where there is objective evidence that financial assets are impaired. For a financial asset that is individually significant, the Group assesses the asset individually for impairment. For a financial asset that is not individually significant, the Group assess the asset individually for impairment or include the asset in a group of financial assets with similar credit risk characteristics and collectively assess them for impairment. If it is determined that no objective evidence of impairment exists for an individually assessed financial asset, whether the financial asset is individually significant or not, the financial asset is included in a group of financial assets with similar credit risk characteristics and collectively assessed for impairment. Financial assets for which an impairment loss is individually recognised are not included in the collective assessment for impairment. ① Held-to-maturity investments of loans and accounts receivable The carrying amount of financial assets measured as costs or amortised costs are subsequently reduced to the present value discounted from its projected future cash flow. The reduced amount is recognised as impairment loss and recorded as profit or loss for the period. After recognition of the impairment loss from financial assets, if there is objective evidence showing recovery in value of such financial assets impaired and which is related to any event occurring after such recognition, the impairment loss originally recognised shall be reversed to the extent that the carrying value of the financial assets upon reversal will not exceed the amortised cost as at the reversal date assuming there is no provision for impairment. 47 IV. Significant Accounting Policies and Estimates (Cont’d) 7. Financial instruments (Cont’d) (3) Impairment of financial assets (Cont’d) ② Impairment of available-for-sale financial assets When the available-for-sale financial assets impair, the accumulated loss originally included in the capital reserve arising from the decrease in fair value was transferred out from the capital reserve and included in the profit or loss for the period. The accumulated loss that transferred out from the capital reserve is the balance of the acquired initial cost of asset, after deduction of the principal recovered, amortised amounts, current fair value and the impairment loss originally included in the profit or loss. After recognition of the impairment loss, if there is objective evidence showing recovery in value of such financial assets impaired and which is related to any event occurring after such recognition in subsequent periods, the impairment loss originally recognised shall be reversed. The impairment loss reversal of the available-for-sale equity instrument will be recognised as other consolidated income, and the impairment loss reversal of the available-for-sale debt instrument will be included in the profit or loss for the period. When an equity investment that is not quoted in an active market and the fair value of which cannot be measured reliably, or the impairment loss of a derivative financial asset linked to the equity instrument that shall be settled by delivery of that equity instrument, then it will not be reversed. (4) Recognition and measurement of transfers of financial asset Financial asset that satisfied any of the following criteria shall be derecognised: ¨ the contract right to recover the cash flows of the financial asset has terminated; the financial asset, along with substantially all the risk and return arising from the ownership of the financial asset, has been transferred to the transferee; and the financial asset has been transferred to the transferee, and the transferor has given up the control on such financial asset, though it does not assign maintain substantially all the risk and return arising from the ownership of the financial asset. When the enitity does not either assign or maintain substantially all the risk and return arising from the ownership of the financial asset and does not give up the control on such financial asset, to the extent of its continuous involvement in the financial asset, the entity recognises it as a related financial asset and recognises the relevant liability accordingly. The extent of the continuous involvement is the extent to which the entity exposes to changes in the value of such financial assets. On derecognition of a financial asset, the difference between the following amounts is recognised in profit or loss for the current period: the carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received and any accumulated gain or loss that had been recognised directly in equity. If a part of the financial assets qualifies for derecognition, the carrying amount of the financial asset is allocated between the part that continues to be recognised and the part that qualifies for derecognition, based on the fair values of the respective parts. The difference between the following amounts is recognised in profit or loss for the period: the sum of the consideration received and the carrying amount of the part that qualifies for derecognition and the aforementioned carrying amount. 48 IV. Significant Accounting Policies and Estimates (Cont’d) 7. Financial instruments (Cont’d) (5) Classification and measurement of financial liabilities At initial recognition, financial liabilities are classified either as “financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss” or “other financial liabilities”. Financial liabilities are initially recognised at fair value. For financial liabilities classified as fair value through profit or loss, relevant transaction costs are directly recognised in profit or loss for the period. For financial liabilities classified as other categories, relevant transaction costs are included in the amount initially recognised. ① Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss for the period The criteria for a financial liability to be classified as held for trading and designated as at financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are the same as those for a financial asset to be classified as held for trading and designated as at financial assets at fair value through profit or loss. Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss for the period are subsequently measured at fair value. The gain or loss arising from changes in fair value and dividends and interest income related to such financial liabilities are included into the current profit or loss. ② Other financial liabilities Derivative financial liabilities which are linked to equity instruments that are not quoted in an active market and the fair value of which cannot be measured reliably measured, and which shall be settled by delivery of equity instruments are subsequently measured at cost. Other financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Gains or losses arising from derecognition or amortisation is recognised in profit or loss for the current period. ③ Financial Guarantee Contracts Financial guarantee contracts other than those designated as financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are initially recognised at fair value, and shall be subsequently measured at the higher of the following: the amount determined in accordance with Accounting Standard for Business Enterprises No. 13 “Contingencies” and the amount initially recognised less cumulative amortisation recognised in accordance with the principles set out in Accounting Standard for Business Enterprises No. 14 “Revenue”. (6) Derecognition of financial liabilities Financial liabilities are derecognised in full or in part only when the present obligation is discharged in full or in part. An agreement is entered between the Group (debtor) and a creditor to replace the original financial liabilities with new financial liabilities with substantially different terms, derecognise the original financial liabilities as well as recognise the new financial liabilities. When financial liabilities is derecognised in full or in part, the difference between the carrying amount of the financial liabilities derecognised and the consideration paid (including transferred non-cash assets or new financial liability) is recognised in profit or loss for the current period. (7) Derivative Instruments Derivative instruments are initially recognised at fair value on the date on which a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently measured at fair value. Any gains or losses arising from changes in fair value of derivatives are taken directly to profit or loss for the period, except for derivative instruments that are designated as hedging instruments and which are highly effective in hedging, gains or losses arising from changes in their fair value are taken to the profit or loss for the period in accordance with the hedge accounting requirement based on the nature of hedging relationships. 49 IV. Significant Accounting Policies and Estimates (Cont’d) 7. Financial instruments (Cont’d) (8) Offset of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities If the Group owns the legitimate rights of offsetting the recognised financial assets and financial liabilities, which are enforceable currently, and the Group plans to realise the financial assets or to clear off the financial liabilities by net amount method, the amount of the offsetting financial assets and financial liabilities shall be reported in the balance sheep. Otherwise, financial assets and financial liabilities are presented separately in the balance sheet without offsetting. (9) Equity instruments Equity instruments are any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of an entity after deducting all of its liabilities. The transaction fees arising from the issue of equity instruments by one party in the business combination shall be reduced in the premium income. If the transaction fees overweight the premium income, it shall be reduced in the retained revenue. For remaining equity instruments, the price received during the issue shall be added to shareholder’s equity after reducing the transaction fees. The distribution (excluding the dividends) to the equity instrument holders by the Group shall reduce the shareholder’s equity. The Group shall not recognise the changes of the equity instruments’ fair value. 8. Accounts receivable Accounts receivable includes accounts receivable and other accounts receivable, etc. (1) Recognition of bad debt provision The Group carries out an overall inspection on the carrying amount of accounts receivable on the balance sheet date. Where there arises any of the following objective evidences indicating that accounts receivable have been impaired, an impairment provision will be made: ¨ a serious financial difficulty occurs to the debtor; the debtor breaches any of the contractual stipulations (such as he fails to pay or delays the payment of interests or the principal); the debtor will probably go bankrupt or carry out other financial reorganisations; other objective evidences show that the accounts receivable are impaired. (2) Measurement of bad debt provision ① Basis for recognition and measurement of bad debt provision for single item with significant accounts receivable, which is impaired individually for bad debt Accounts receivable of more than RMB1 million is recognised as individually significant accounts receivable by the Group. For accounts receivable that is individually significant, the Group assesses such accounts receivable individually for impairment. If it is determined that no objective evidence of impairment exists for an individually assessed financial asset, the financial asset is included in a group of financial assets with similar credit risk characteristics and collectively assessed for impairment. Accounts receivable for which an impairment loss is individually recognised are not included in a group of accounts receivable with similar credit risk characteristics and collectively assessed for impairment. 50 IV. Significant Accounting Policies and Estimates (Cont’d) 8. Accounts receivable (Cont’d) (2) Measurement of bad debt provision (Cont’d) ② Basis for recognition and measurement of bad debt provision for receivable by credit risk features A. Basis for determining portfolio of credit risk features In respect of accounts receivable that are individually insignificant and those that are significant but are not impaired upon individual testing, the Group classifies financial assets based on the similarity and relevancy of credit risk features. These credit risks usually reflect debtors’ ability to settle all amounts that fall due based on the contracted terms of the assets, and are relevant to the estimated future cash flows of the inspected assets. Basis for determining different portfolios: Items Basis for determining portfolio Account receivable for fewer than Shorter age, fewer risk 2 years age (including 2 years) Account receivable for over 2 years age Longer age, greater risk B. Measurement of determining bad debt provision based on credit risk feature portfolio When an impairment test is performed by means of a group, bad debt provision will be assessed and ascertained according to the structure of the group of accounts receivable and similar credit risk features (debtors’ ability to settle outstanding amounts based on contracted terms), taking into account historical experience and the prevailing economic situations as well as losses that are expected to have been incurred in the group of accounts receivable. Basis for bad debt provision of different portfolio: Items Basis of provision Account receivable for fewer than 2 years age Analysis by age Account receivable for over 2 years age Analysis by age In respect of portfolio, the measurement of bad debt provision for portfolio is based on analysis by age Ratio of Ratio of accounts other accounts receivable receivable Age provision (%) provision (%) Within 1 year (including 1 year, the same below) 5 5 1-2 years 10 10 2-3 years 20 20 Over 3 years 100 100 51 IV. Significant Accounting Policies and Estimates (Cont’d) 8. Accounts receivable (Cont’d) (2) Measurement of bad debt provision (Cont’d) ③ Insignificant accounts receivable but impaired individually for bad debt The Group conducts impairment tests for the single item with insignificant account receivables but with following features. if there is objective evidence indicating that the accounts receivable is impaired, then impairment loss will be recognised and provision for bad debts according to the difference when the present value of future cash flow is fewer than its carrying amounts: amounts due from associates; accounts receivable with dispute against counterparties or involved in litigation or arbitration; there is obvious objective of the accounts receivable indicated that the debtor is likely to fail to comply with the repayment obligation, etc. (3) Reversal of provision If there are evidences indicating that the value of the account receivable is recovered and that recovery is connected to the event subsequent to the recognition of the loss, the impairment loss previously recognised will be revered and recorded into profit or loss for the period. However, the carrying amount so reversed shall not exceed the amortised cost of the account receivable on the date of reversal on the assumption that no impairment loss has been made. 9. Inventory (1) Classification of inventories Inventories mainly include raw materials, work in progress and finished products, etc. (2) Pricing of inventory received and dispatched Inventories are measured at their actual cost when obtained. Cost of an inventory consists of purchase costs, processing costs and other costs. When used and dispatched, inventories will be calculated based on the planned cost first, and deviations in cost will be apportioned by month end, so that the planned cost will be adjusted to become the actual cost. (3) Recognition of net realisable value of inventory and provision for inventory impairment At the balance sheet date, inventories are calculated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Provision for inventory impairment is made when the net realisable value is lower than the cost. Provisions for impairment of inventory shall be made according to the amount by which the cost of a single item exceeds its net realisable value. After making the provision for inventory impairment, in case the factors causing inventory impairment no longer exists, and the net realisable value of an inventory is higher than its book-value, the original provision for inventory impairment shall be transferred back and incorporated into the profit or loss for the current period. Net realisable value refers to the amount of the estimated price of inventories less the estimated cost incurred upon completion, estimated sales expenses and other amounts after tax and levies in daily operation. The realisable value of inventories shall be determined on the basis of definite evidence, purpose of holding the inventories and effect of after-balance-sheet-date events. (4) The inventory taking system shall use permanent inventory system/periodic inventory system. (5) Amortisation of low-value consumables and packaging materials Low-value consumables are amortised by lump-sum when taken for use. Also, packaging materials are amortised by lump-sum when taken for use. 52 IV. Significant Accounting Policies and Estimates (Cont’d) 10. Long-term equity investments (1) Determination of initial investment cost For a long-term equity investment acquired through a business combination involving enterprises under common control, the initial investment cost of the long-term equity investment shall be the absorbing party’s share of the carrying amount of the owner’s equity of the party being absorbed at the date of combination. For a long-term equity investment acquired through business combination not involving enterprises under common control, the initial investment cost of the long-term equity investment acquired shall be the each direct related expenses of acquirer arising from business combination. The long-term equity investment acquired through means other than a business combination shall be initially measured at its cost. Such cost is depended upon the acquired means of long-term equity investments, which is recognised based on the purchase cost actually paid by the Group in cash, the fair value of equity securities issued by the Group, the agreed value of investment contract or agreement, the fair value or original carrying amounts of the non-monetary asset exchange transaction which the asset will be transferred out of the Group, and the fair value of long-term equity investment itself. The costs, taxes and other necessary expenses that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the long-term equity investments are also included in the investment cost. (2) Method for subsequent measurement and profit or loss recognition Cost method is used to account for a long-term equity investment where the investor does not have joint control or significant influence over the investee, and the investment is not quoted in an active market and its fair value cannot be reliably measured. Long-term equity investments with joint control or significant influence on the investee is accounted for using equity method. Long-term equity investment without control or joint control or significant influence with a fair value which can be reliably measured is accounted for as available-for-sale financial assets. In addition, long-term equity investments with control on the investee are accounted for using cost method and record in the Company’s financial statements. ① Long-term equity investments accounted for using the cost method Under the cost method, a long-term equity investment is measured at its initial investment cost. Except receiving the actual consideration paid for the investment or the declared but not yet distributed cash dividends or profits which is included in the consideration, investment gains for the period is recognised as the cash dividends or profits declared by the investee. ② Long-term equity investments accounted for using the equity method Under the equity method, where the initial investment cost of a long-term equity investment exceeds the investor’s interest in the fair value of the investee’s identifiable net assets at the acquisition date, no adjustment shall be made to the initial investment cost. Where the initial investment cost is less than the investor’s interest in the fair value of the investee’s identifiable net assets at the acquisition date, the difference shall be charged to profit or loss for the current period, and the cost of the long term equity investment shall be adjusted accordingly. Under the equity method, investment gain or loss represents the Group’s share of the net profits or losses made by the investee for the current period. The Group shall recognise its share of the investee’s net profits or losses based on the fair values of the investee’s individual separately identifiable assets at the time of acquisition, after making appropriate adjustments thereto in conformity with the accounting policies and accounting periods of the Group. The unrealised gain or loss from internal transactions entered into between the Group and its associated enterprises and joint ventures is set off according to the shareholding attributable to the Group and accounted for as investment income and loss based such basis. However, the unrealised gain or loss from internal transactions entered into between the Group and its investee is not set up if belonging to impairment loss from assets transferred according to regulations such as “Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises No. 8 “Assets impairment”. In respect of the other consolidated income of investees, the carrying amount of long-term equity investments is accordingly adjusted and recognised as other consolidated income and included in the capital reserves. The Group’s share of net losses of the investee shall be recognised to the extent that the carrying amount of the long-term equity investment together with any long-term interests that in substance form part of the investor’s net investment in the investee are reduced to zero. If the Group has to assume additional obligations, the estimated obligation assumed shall be provided for and charged to the profit or loss as investment loss for the period. Where the investee is making profits in subsequent periods, the Group shall resume recognising its share of profits after setting off against the share of unrecognised losses. If there is debit variation in relation to the long-term equity investments in associates and joint venture held prior to first adoption of the Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises by the Group on 1 January 2007, the amounts amortised over the original residual term using the straight-line method is included in the profit or loss for the period. 53 IV. Significant Accounting Policies and Estimates (Cont’d) 10. Long-term equity investments (Cont’d) (2) Method for subsequent measurement and profit or loss recognition (Cont’d) ③ Acquisition of minority interests Upon the preparation of the consolidated financial statements, since acquisition of minority interests increased of long-term equity investment which was compared to fair value of identifiable net assets recognised which are measured based on the continuous measurement since the acquisition date (or combination date) of subsidiaries attributable to the Group calculated according to the proportion of newly acquired shares, the difference of which recognised as adjusted capital surplus, capital surplus insufficient to set off impairment and adjusted retained earnings. ④ Disposal of long-term equity investments In these consolidated financial statements, where the parent company disposes of a portion of the long-term equity investments in a subsidiary without a change in control, the difference between disposal cost and disposal of long-term equity investments relative to the net assets of the subsidiary is charged to the owners’ equity. If disposal of a portion of the long-term equity investments in a subsidiary by the parent company results in a change in control, it shall be treated in accordance with the relevant accounting policies as described in Note IV. 4. (2) “Preparation Method of the Consolidated Financial Statements”. On disposal of a long-term equity investment otherwise, the difference between the carrying amount of the investment and the actual consideration paid is recognised through profit or loss in the current period. Where the equity method is adopted, other comprehensive income attributable to the long-term equity investments previously included in shareholders’ equity shall be transferred to through profit or loss in the current period on a pro-rata basis. The remaining equity shall be recognised as the long-term equity investments or other relevant financial assets based on the carrying amount and subsequently measured in accordance with the accounting policies of the foresaid long-term equity investments or financial assets. The retrospective adjustment shall be made in accordance with the relevant provisions if the remaining equity is accounted for using the equity method instead of the cost method. (3) Recognition of having joint control or significant influence over the investee The term “control” means that the Group has the power to decide an enterprise’s financial and operating policy, pursuant to which, the Group can get the power to obtain benefits from its operating activities. Joint control is the contractually agreed sharing of control over an economic activity, which only exists when relevant and important financial affairs and management decisions related to such economic activity require sharing of control by investors who unanimously agree upon. Significant influence is the power to participate in the financial and operating policy decisions of an enterprise, but to fail to control or joint control the formulation of such policies together with other parties. In determining whether there is control or significance influence over the investee, potential voting right factors (such as the convertible corporate bonds for the period and the exercisable stock warrants for the period of the investee and other invested units held) were taken into account. (4) Impairment test method and impairment provision The Group assesses at each balance sheet date whether there is any indication that any long-term equity investments may be impaired. If there is any evidence indicating that an asset may be impaired, recoverable amount shall be estimated for the individual asset. If the recoverable amount of an asset is less than its carrying amount, the reduction is recognised as an impairment loss and charged to profit or loss for the current period. A provision for impairment loss of the asset is recognised accordingly. An impairment loss recognised on long-term equity investments shall not be reversed in a subsequent period. 54 IV. Significant Accounting Policies and Estimates (Cont’d) 11. Investment Property Investment property refer to real estate held to earn rentals or for capital appreciation, or both including the land use right that have been leased out; the land use right that held and will be transferred after appreciation; and the building that have been leased out. Investment property is initially measured at cost. Subsequent expenditures related to an investment property shall be included in cost of investment property only when the economic benefits associated with the asset will likely flow to the Group and its cost can be measured reliably. All other expenditures on investment property shall be included in profit or loss for the current period when incurred. The Group adopts cost method for subsequent measurement of investment property, which is depreciated or amortised using the same policy as that for buildings and land use rights. The method for impaired test of investment property and measurement of impairment provision are detailed in Note IV. 17 “Impairment of non-current non-monetary financial asset”. In the event that an owner-occupied property or inventories is converted to an investment property (or vice versa), upon the conversion, the property shall be stated at the carrying amount prior to the conversion. If an investment property is disposed of or if it withdraws permanently from use and no economic benefit will be obtained from the disposal, the recognition of it as an investment property shall be terminated. When an investment property is sold, transferred, retired or damaged, the amount of proceeds on disposal of the property net of the carrying amount and related tax and surcharges is recognised in profit or loss for the current period. 12. Fixed assets (1) Conditions for recognition of fixed assets Fixed assets are tangible assets that are held for use in the production or supply of goods or services, for rental to others, or for administrative purposes; and have a useful life of more than one accounting year. (2) Method for depreciation of different fixed assets Fixed assets shall be initially measured at cost and the effect of any expected costs of abandoning the asset at the end of its use. Depreciation is provided over their estimated useful lives from the month after they have reached the working condition for their intended use using the straight-line method/units-of-production method. The useful life, estimated residual value and annual depreciation rate of each category of fixed assets are as follows: Annual Useful lives of Estimated depreciation Category depreciation residual value rate Buildings and structures 20-40 5-10 2.25-4.75 Machinery and equipment 8-20 5-10 4.5-11.88 Transportation equipment 5-8 5-10 11.25-19.00 Electronic equipment and others 5 5-10 18.00-19.00 Estimated net residual value of a fixed asset is the estimated amount that the Group would currently obtain from disposal of the asset, after deducting the estimated costs of disposal, if the asset were already of the stage and in the condition expected at the end of its useful life. (3) Impairment testing methods and provision for impairment methods on fixed assets The method for impaired test of fixed asset and measurement of impairment provision are detailed in Note IV. 18 “Impairment of non-current non-monetary financial asset”. 55 IV. Significant Accounting Policies and Estimates (Cont’d) 12. Fixed assets (Cont’d) (4) Recognition basis and measurement method of fixed assets under finance lease Leases are classified as finance leases whenever the terms of the lease transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to the lessee. Title may or may not eventually be transferred. The fixed asset leased by the finance lease is used the policy consistent with that of proprietary fixed assets for provision of depreciated leased asset. If it can be reasonably determined that the ownership of the leased asset can be obtained upon expiration of the lease term, the leased asset shall be depreciated over its useful life. If it cannot be reasonably determined that the ownership of the leased asset can be obtained at the expiration of the lease term, the leased asset shall be depreciated over the shorter of the lease term or its useful life. (5) Explanation on other matters Subsequent expenditures incurred for a fixed asset shall be included in the cost of the fixed asset, only if it is probable that economic benefits associated with the asset will flow to the Company and the relevant cost can be measured reliably; meanwhile the carrying amount of the replaced part shall be derecognised. Other subsequent expenditures shall be charged to profit or loss when incurred. When a fixed asset is sold, transferred, retired or damaged, the Group shall recognise the amount of any proceeds on disposal of the asset net of the carrying amount and related taxes in profit or loss for the current period. The Group reviews the useful life and estimated net residual value of a fixed asset and the depreciation method applied at least at each financial year-end. A change in the useful life or estimated net residual value of a fixed asset or the depreciation method used shall be accounted for as a change in accounting estimate. 13. Construction in progress Construction in progress is recognised based on the actual construction cost, including all expenditures incurred for construction projects, capitalised borrowing costs for the construction in progress before it has reached the working condition for its intended use, and other related expenses during the construction period. A construction in progress is transferred to fixed assets when it has reached the working condition for its intended use. The method for impaired test of construction in progress and measurement of impairment provision are detailed in Note IV. 18 “Impairment of non-current non-monetary financial asset”. 14. Borrowing costs Borrowing costs include interest, amortisation 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. For borrowing costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset, when expenditures for the asset and borrowing costs are being incurred, 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, such borrowing costs shall be capitalised as part of the cost of that asset; and capitalisation shall discontinue when the qualifying asset is ready for its intended use or sale. Other borrowing costs shall be recognised as expense in the period in which they are incurred. Where funds are borrowed for a specific purpose, the amount of interest to be capitalised shall be the actual interest expense incurred on that borrowing for the period less any bank interest earned from depositing the borrowed funds before being used into banks or any investment income on the temporary investment of those funds. Where funds are borrowed for general purpose, the Group shall determine the amount of interest to be capitalised on such borrowings by applying a capitalisation rate to the weighted average of the excess amounts of cumulative expenditures on the asset over and above the amounts of specific-purpose borrowings. The capitalisation rate shall be the weighted average of the interest rates applicable to the general-purpose borrowings. During the capitalisation period, exchange differences related to the principal and interest on a specific purpose borrowing denominated in foreign currency shall be capitalised as part of the cost of the qualifying asset. Exchange differences related to general-purpose borrowings denominated in foreign currency shall be included in profit or loss for the current period. Qualifying assets are assets (fixed assets, investment property, inventories, etc) that necessarily take a substantial period of time for acquisition, construction or production to get ready for their intended use or sale. Capitalisation of borrowing costs shall be suspended during periods in which the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset is interrupted abnormally, when the interruption is for a continuous period of more than 3 months, until the acquisition, construction or production of the qualifying asset is resumed. 56 IV. Significant Accounting Policies and Estimates (Cont’d) 15. Biological assets Consumable biological assets refer to biological assets held for sale or to be harvested as agricultural produce in the future, which include growing commercial forests. Consumable biological assets are stated at cost at initial recognition. The cost of self-planting, self-cultivating consumable biological assets is the necessary expenses directly attributable to such assets prior to canopy closure, including borrowing costs eligible for capitalisation. Subsequent expenses incurred after canopy closure shall be included in profit or loss for the current period. The cost of consumable biological assets shall, at the time of harvest or disposal, be carried forward at carrying value using the rotation age method. All the consumable biological assets of the Company are subsequently measured at fair value as they are quoted in an active market where the Company can obtain a quoted market price and other information of the same or similar consumable biological assets and thus their fair values can be reliably estimated. Changes in fair values shall be recognised as profit or loss in the current period. 16. Intangible assets (1) Intangible assets An intangible asset is an identifiable non-monetary asset without physical substance owned or controlled by the Group. An intangible asset shall be initially measured at cost. The expenditures incurred on an intangible asset shall be recognised as cost of the intangible asset only if it is probable that economic benefits associated with the asset will flow to the Group and the cost of the asset can be measured reliably. Other expenditures on an item asset shall be charged to profit or loss when incurred. Land use right acquired shall normally be recognised as an intangible asset. Self-constructed buildings (e.g. plants), related land use right and the buildings shall be separately accounted for as an intangible asset and fixed asset. For buildings and structures purchased, the purchase consideration shall be allocated among the land use right and the buildings on a reasonable basis. In case there is difficulty in making a reasonable allocation, the consideration shall be recognised in full as fixed assets. An intangible asset with an infinite useful life shall be stated at cost less estimated net residual value and any accumulated impairment loss provision and amortised using the straight-line method//units of production method over its useful life when the asset is available for use. Intangible assets with indefinite life are not amortised. The Group shall review the useful life of intangible asset with an infinite useful life and the amortisation method applied at least at each financial year-end. A change in the useful life or amortisation method used shall be accounted for as a change in accounting estimate. For an intangible asset with an indefinite useful life, the Group shall review the useful life of the asset in each accounting period. If there is evidence indicating that the useful life of that intangible asset is finite, the Company shall estimate the useful life of that asset and apply the accounting policies accordingly. 57 IV. Significant Accounting Policies and Estimates (Cont’d) 16. Intangible assets (Cont’d) (2) Research and development expenditure Expenditure on internal research and development activities of the Group is categorised into expenditure arising from the research phase and expenditure arising from the development phase. Expenditure arising from the research phase is recognised as profit or loss in the current period. Expenses incurred during the development stage that satisfy the following conditions are recognised as intangible assets, while those that do not satisfy the following conditions are accounted for in the profit or loss for the current period: ① it is technically feasible that the intangible asset can be used or sold upon completion; ② there is intention to complete the intangible asset for use or sale; ③ the intangible asset can produce economic benefits, including there is evidence that the products produced using the intangible asset has a market or the intangible asset itself has a market; if the intangible asset is for internal use, there is evidence that there exists usage for the intangible asset; ④ there is sufficient support in terms of technology, financial resources and other resources in order to complete the development of the intangible asset, and there is capability to use or sell the intangible asset; ⑤ the expenses attributable to the development stage of the intangible asset can be measured reliably. If the expenses incurred during the research stage and the development stage cannot be distinguished separately, all development expenses incurred are accounted for in the profit or loss for the current period. (3) Intangible assets impairment test method and their impairment provision The method for impaired test of intangible assets and measurement of impairment provision are detailed in Note IV. 18 “Impairment of non-current non-monetary financial asset”. 17. Long-term deferred expenses Long-term deferred expenses are expenditures and other expenses which have incurred but that shall be amortised over the current period and subsequent periods of more than one year. Long-term deferred expenses are reasonably amortised over the estimated benefit period, using the straight-line method or other systems. 58 IV. Significant Accounting Policies and Estimates (Cont’d) 18. Non-current non-financial assets impairment The Group will judge if there is any indication of impairment as at the balance sheet date in respect of non-current non-financial assets such as fixed assets, construction in progress, intangible assets with an infinite useful life, investment properties measured at cost, and long-term equity investments in subsidiaries, joint controlled entities and associates. If there is any evidence indicating that an asset may be impaired, recoverable amount shall be estimated for impairment test. Goodwill, intangible assets with an indefinite useful life and intangible assets beyond working conditions will be tested for impairment annually, regardless of whether there is any indication of impairment. If the impairment test result shows that the recoverable amount of an asset is less than its carrying amount, the impairment provision will be made according to the difference and recognised as an impairment loss. The recoverable amount of an asset is the higher of its fair value less costs of disposal and the present value of the future cash flows expected to be derived from the asset. An asset’s fair value is the price in a sale agreement in an arm’s length transaction. If there is no sale agreement but the asset is traded in an active market, fair value shall be determined based on the bid price. If there is neither sale agreement nor active market for an asset, fair value shall be based on the best available information. Costs of disposal are expenses attributable to disposal of the asset, including legal fee, relevant tax and surcharges, transportation fee and direct expenses incurred to prepare the asset for its intended sale. The present value of the future cash flows expected to be derived from the asset over the course of continued use and final disposal is determined as the amount discounted using an appropriately selected discount rate. Provisions for assets impairment shall be made and recognised for the individual asset. If it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of the individual asset, the Group shall determine the recoverable amount of the asset group to which the asset belongs. The asset group is the smallest group of assets capable of generating cash flows independently. For the purpose of impairment testing, the carrying amount of goodwill presented separately in the financial statements shall be allocated to the asset groups or group of assets benefiting from synergy of business combination. If the recoverable amount is less than the carrying amount, the Group shall recognise an impairment loss. The amount of impairment loss shall first reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the asset group or set of asset groups, and then reduce the carrying amount of other assets (other than goodwill) within the asset group or set of asset groups, pro rata on the basis of the carrying amount of each asset. An impairment loss recognised on the aforesaid assets shall not be reversed in a subsequent period in respect of the restorable value. 19. Accrued liabilities Obligations pertinent to the contingencies which satisfy the following conditions are recognised as accrued liabilities: (1) The obligation is a current obligation borne by the Group; (2) it is likely that an outflow of economic benefits will be resulted from the performance of the obligation; and (3) the amount of the obligation can be reliably measured. At the balance sheet date, accrued liabilities shall be measured at the best estimate of the necessary expenses required for the performance of existing obligations, after taking into account relevant risks, uncertainties, time value of money and other factors pertinent to the contingencies. If all or some expenses incurred for settlement of accrued liabilities are expected to be borne by the third party, the compensation amount shall, on a recoverable basis, be recognised as asset separately, and compensation amount recognised shall not be more than the carrying amount of accrued liabilities. 59 IV. Significant Accounting Policies and Estimates (Cont’d) 20. Revenue (1) Revenue from sales of goods Revenue is recognised when the Company has transferred to the buyer the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods, retains neither continuing managerial involvement to the degree usually associated with ownership nor effective control over the goods sold, will receive the economic benefits associated with the transaction, and can reliably measure the relevant amount of revenue and costs. (2) Revenue from the rendering of services When the outcome of a transaction involving the rendering of services can be reliably estimated, it shall, on the balance sheet date, recognise the revenue from the rendering of services employing the percentage-of-completion method. The completion schedule of transaction concerning the rendering of services shall be ascertained according to the proportion of service costs incurred to the estimated total costs. The outcome of a transaction concerning the rendering of services can be reliably estimated, which shall concurrently satisfy: (1) The relevant amount of revenue can be reliably measured; (2) it is probable that the economic benefits will flow into the enterprise; (3) the completion schedule of the transaction can be reliably ascertained; and (4) transaction costs incurred and to be incurred can be reliably measured. When the outcome of a transaction involving the rendering of services cannot be reliably estimated, it shall recognise the revenue from the rendering of services based on the cost of rendering services already incurred and expected to be compensated, and the cost of rendering services incurred shall be recognised as an expense for the current period. If the cost of rendering services is expected not to be compensated, it shall be recognised as an expense. When a contract or agreement signed by the Group includes sales of goods and rendering of services, if sales of goods and rendering of services can be differentiated and separately measured, they will be recognised respectively. If sales of goods and rendering of services cannot be differentiated or cannot be separately measured, they will be recognised as sales of goods in full. (3) Royalty revenue Revenue is recognised on an accrual basis under the relevant contracts or agreements. (4) Interest income Interest income is measured based on the length of time for which the Group’s cash is used by others and the effective interest rate. 21. Government grant Government grants are transfer of monetary assets or non-monetary assets from the government to the Group at no consideration, excluding capital considerations from the government as an owner of the Group. Government grants are classified into government grants related to assets and government grants related to income. If a government grant is in the form of a transfer of monetary asset, the item shall be measured at the amount received or receivable. If a government grant is in the form of a transfer of non-monetary asset, the item shall be measured at fair value. If fair value is not reliably determinable, the item shall be measured at a nominal amount and recognised immediately in profit or loss for the current period. A government grant related to an asset shall be recognised as deferred income, and evenly amortised to profit or loss over the useful life of the asset. For a government grant related to income, if the grant is a compensation for related expenses or losses to be incurred in subsequent periods, the grant shall be recognised as deferred income, and recognised in profit or loss over the periods in which the related costs are recognised; if the grant is a compensation for related expenses or losses already incurred, the grant shall be recognised immediately in profit or loss for the current period. For the repayment of a government grant already recognised, if there is any related deferred income, the repayment shall be off set against the carrying amount of the deferred income, and any excess shall be recognised in profit or loss for the current period; if there is no related deferred income, the repayment shall be recognised immediately in profit or loss for the current period. 60 IV. Significant Accounting Policies and Estimates (Cont’d) 22. Deferred income tax assets / deferred income tax liabilities (1) Current income tax At the balance sheet date, current income tax liabilities (or assets) for the current and prior periods shall be measured at the amount expected to be paid (or recovered) according to the requirements of tax laws. Taxable profits, which are the basis for calculating the current income tax expense, are determined after adjusting the accounting profits before tax for the year in accordance with relevant requirements of tax laws. (2) Deferred income tax assets and deferred income tax liabilities Temporary differences arising from the difference between the carrying amount of an asset or liability and its tax base, and the difference between the tax base and the carrying amount of those items that are not recognised as assets or liabilities but have a tax base that can be determined according to tax laws, shall be recognised as deferred income tax assets and deferred income tax liabilities using the balance sheet liability method. Deferred income tax liabilities are not recognised for taxable temporary differences related to: the initial recognition of goodwill; and the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction which is neither a business combination nor affects accounting profit or taxable profit (or deductible loss) at the time of the transaction. In addition, the Group recognises the corresponding deferred income tax liability for taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures, except when both of the following conditions are satisfied: the Group 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. Deferred income tax assets are not recognised for deductible temporary differences related to the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction which is neither a business combination nor affects accounting profit or taxable profit (or deductible loss) at the time of the transaction. In addition, the Group recognises the corresponding deferred income tax asset for deductible temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which the deductible temporary differences can be utilised, except when both of the following conditions are satisfied: it is not probable that the temporary difference will reverse in the foreseeable future; and it is not probable that taxable profits will be available in the future, against which the temporary difference can be utilised. The Company recognises a deferred income tax asset for the carry forward of deductible losses and tax credits to subsequent periods, to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the deductible losses and tax credits can be utilised. At the balance sheet date, deferred income tax assets and deferred income tax liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, according to the requirements of tax laws. At the balance sheet date, the Company shall review the carrying amount of a deferred income tax asset. If it is probable that sufficient taxable profits will not be available in future periods to allow the benefit of the deferred income tax asset to be utilised, the carrying amount of the deferred income tax asset shall be reduced. Any such reduction in amount shall be reversed when it becomes probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available. 61 IV. Significant Accounting Policies and Estimates (Cont’d) 22. Deferred income tax assets / deferred income tax liabilities (Cont’d) (3) Income tax expense Income tax expense comprises current income tax expense and deferred income tax expense. Current income tax expense (current income tax income) and deferred income tax expense (deferred income tax income) are included in profit or loss for the current period, except for: recognised as other comprehensive income or current income tax and deferred income tax related to transactions or events that are directly recognised in other comprehensive income or owners’ equity, which are recognised directly in owners’ equity, and deferred income tax arising from a business combination, which is adjusted against the carrying amount of goodwill. (4) Offset of income tax After granted the legal rights of net settlement and with the intention to use net settlement or obtain assets, repay debt, the Group, at the same time, records the net amount after offsetting its current income tax assets and current income tax liabilities. The Group was granted the legal rights of net settlement of current income tax assets and current income tax liabilities. Deferred income tax assets and deferred income tax liabilities are related to income tax to be paid by the same entity liable to pay tax to the same tax collection and management authority or related to different entities liable to pay tax, but the relevant entity liable to pay tax is intended to apply net settlement of current income tax assets and liabilities or, at the same time, obtain assets, repay debt whenever every deferred income tax assets and liabilities with importance would be reversed in the future, the Group records the net amount after offsetting its current income tax assets and current income tax liabilities. 23. Lease Leases are classified as finance leases whenever the terms of the lease transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to the lessee. Title may or may not eventually be transferred. All other leases are classified as operating leases. (1) Operating lease business with the Group recorded as lessee Lease payment for operating lease is recognised as related asset cost or profits and losses for the current period using the straight-line method over the lease term. The initial direct cost is directly accounted in profit or loss for the current period. Contingent rent is recognised as profit or loss for the current period upon occurrence. (2) Operating lease business with the Group recorded as lessor Rental income is recognised in profit or loss for the current period using the straight-line method over the lease term. The initial direct cost where the amount is larger is capitalised when incurred, and accounted for as profit or loss for the current period on the same basis as recognition of rental income over the entire lease period; the initial direct cost where the amount is fewer is included in the profit or loss for the period when incurred. Contingent rental is accounted for as profit or loss for the period in which it is incurred. (3) The Group as a lessee under a finance lease On the lease beginning date, a lessee shall recognise the lower of the fair value of the leased asset on the lease beginning date and the present value of the minimum lease payments as the recorded value, and recognise the minimum lease payments as the recorded value of long-term accounts payable, and the difference between such amounts shall be determined as unrecognised finance charge. The initial direct costs directly attributable to the leased item incurred during the process of lease negotiation and execution of the leasing agreement shall be accounted for as the value of the leased asset. The balance of the minimum lease payments after deducting the unrecognised financing charge shall be separately presented as long-term liabilities and long-term liabilities due within one year. The unrecognised financing charge shall be accounted for during the lease period using the effective interest method and recognised as financing charge for the period. Contingent rent payments are recognised in the profit and loss for the period when actually incurred. 62 IV. Significant Accounting Policies and Estimates (Cont’d) 24. Assets held for sale If the Group has made a resolution in respect of disposal of a non-current asset and signed an irrevocable transfer agreement with the transferee, and such transfer is likely to be completed within one year, this non-current asset shall be accounted for as non-current assets held for sale without any depreciation or amortisation provided and calculated at the lower of carrying amount and net amount of the fair value less disposal cost. Non-current assets held for sale include individual asset and disposal group. If the group of disposal is a set of asset groups and goodwill received from business combination is allocated to such asset groups in accordance with the "Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises No.8 "Assets Impairment" or such disposal group is an operation in the asset groups, it shall include the goodwill in business combination. If an asset or disposal group is classified as held for sale, but fails to meet recognition requirements for non-current assets held for sale, it shall no longer be classified as assets held for sale and calculated at the lower of the following two amounts: (i) the carrying amount of such asset or disposal group before being classified as assets held for sale subsequent to the adjustment to the originally recognised depreciation, amortisation or impairment under the condition that they are not classified as assets held for sale; and (2) the recoverable amount at the date on which no future sale is decided. 25. Employee Benefits In the accounting period in which an employee has rendered services, the Group shall recognise the employee benefits payable as a liability. The Group participates in social security systems operated by the government. Payments of social security contributions for employees, such as premiums or contributions on pensions, medical insurance, payments of housing funds and other social welfare contributions shall be included in the cost of related assets or profit or loss for the period in which they are incurred. When the Group terminates the employment relationship with employees before the expiry of the employment contracts or provides compensation as an offer to encourage employees to accept voluntary redundancy, if the Group has a formal plan for termination of employment relationship or has made an offer for voluntary redundancy, which will be implemented immediately, and the Group cannot unilaterally withdraw from the termination plan or the redundancy offer, a compensation liability arising from the termination of employment relationship with employees should be charged to the profit or loss for the current period. An internal retirement plan is accounted for using the same principles as described above. Salaries and social insurance contributions to be paid to the internally retired employees by the Group during the period from the date when the employee ceases to provide services to the normal retirement date are recognised in profit or loss for the period when the recognition criteria for provisions are met (termination benefits). 26. Changes in Significant Accounting Policies and Estimates (1) Changes in accounting policies Nil. (2) Changes in accounting estimates Nil. 27. Corrections on accounting errors in prior periods Nil. 63 IV. Significant Accounting Policies and Estimates (Cont’d) 28. Critical accounting judgements and estimates The Group needs to make judgements, estimates and assumptions as to the carrying amount of statement items which cannot be accurately calculated during the application of the Group’s accounting policies. Such judgements, estimates and assumptions are made based on the historical experiences of the Group’s management and taking into account other relevant factors, which may affect the reported amount of revenue, expenses, assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent liabilities at the balance sheet date. However, the outcome from such estimate uncertainties may cause critical adjustment to the carrying amount of assets or liabilities which may be affected in the future. The Group regularly reviews the aforesaid judgements, estimates and assumptions on the basis of continued operation. A revision to accounting estimates is recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if it only affects that period. A revision is recognised in the period of the revision and future periods if it affects both current and future periods. At the balance sheet date, the critical areas where Group needs to make judgements, estimates and assumptions as to the items amount of financial statements are set out below: (1) Provision for bad debts The Group adopts the allowance method to account for bad debt loss under the accounting policies of accounts receivable. Impairment of accounts receivable is based on the recoverability of assessed accounts receivable. Given the management’s judgement and estimate required for impairment of accounts receivable, the difference between the actual outcome and original estimate will affect the carrying amount of accounts receivable and provision and reversal of bad debts of accounts receivable during the estimate revision period. (2) Allowance for inventories Under the accounting policies of inventories and by measuring at the lower of cost and net realisable value, the Group makes allowance for inventories which have costs higher than net realisable value or become obsolete and slow-moving. Write-down of inventories to their net realisable values is based on the saleability of the evaluated inventory and their net realisable values. Given the management’s judgements and estimates required for inventory impairment on the basis of definite evidence, purpose of holding the inventories and other factors, the difference between the actual outcome and original estimate will affect the carrying amount of inventories and provision and reversal of bad debts of inventories allowance during the estimate revision period. (3) Subsequent measurement of biological assets The Group has appointed an independent professional valuer to value the fair value of the biological assets. When the valuer determines the fair value, the valuation method used by the valuer includes some assumptions. Directors have judged that the valuation method reflects the prevailing market conditions. 64 IV. Significant Accounting Policies and Estimates (Cont’d) 28. Critical accounting judgements and estimates (Cont’d) (4) Provision for impairment of non-financial non-current assets At the balance sheet date, the Group makes its judgement as to whether there is any evidence indicating potential impairment of non-current assets other than financial assets. Intangible assets with indefinite useful life shall be tested for impairment when there is any indication of impairment in addition to the annual impairment testing. Other non-current assets other than financial assets shall be tested for impairment if there is any evidence indicating that their carrying amount cannot be recovered. When the carrying amount of an asset or asset groups is higher than the recoverable amount, being the higher of its fair value less costs of disposal and the present value of the future cash flows expected to be derived from the asset, it indicates impairment. The net amount of the fair value less costs of disposal is determined by making reference to the price in a sale agreement in an arm’s length transaction or the observable market price less the incremental costs directly attributable to such assets disposal. In projecting the present value of the future cash flows, critical judgements shall be made to the output, selling price and relevant operating costs of such assets (or asset groups) and the discount rate applied in calculating the discount. In estimating the recoverable amount, the Group may adopt all relevant materials including the projections as to the output, selling price and relevant operating costs based on reasonable and supportive assumptions. The test shall be performed at least once a year as to whether there is any impairment. This requires an estimate for the present value of the future cash flows of the asset groups or sets of asset groups to which goodwill is allocated. In estimating the present value of the future cash flows, the Group needs to estimate the cash flows generated from the future asset groups or sets of asset groups. Meanwhile, the present value of future cash flows is determined using an appropriately selected discount rate. (5) Depreciation and amortisation The Group shall provide depreciation and amortisation for investment properties, fixed assets and intangible assets over their useful lives and after taking into account of their residual value, using straight-line method. The Group shall regularly review the useful lives to determine the amount depreciated and amortised to be accounted for in each reporting period. The useful life is determined by the Group according to its previous experience on the similar assets and estimated technical innovation. If there is any material change in the previously made estimate, the depreciation and amortisation will be adjusted over the future period. (6) Deferred income tax assets It is probable that all unused tax loss will be recognised as the deferred income tax assets to the extent there will be sufficient taxable profits against which the deducible loss is available. This requires the Group’s management to apply numerous judgements to estimate the time and amount generated from the future taxable profits so as to determine the amount of deferred income tax assets with reference to the tax planning strategy. (7) Income tax There are some uncertainties in tax treatment and calculation for some transactions of the Group during its ordinary course of business. The approval from the tax authority is required for pre-tax expending of some items. Any difference between the final recognition outcome of such tax matters and the initially estimated amount will exert an effect on the current income tax and deferred income tax during their final recognition period. 65 V.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (Cont’d) 48. Basic earnings per share and diluted earnings per share The basic earnings per share is computed by dividing the net profit for the period attributable to ordinary shareholders of the Company by the number of weighted average ordinary shares in issue. The number of newly issued ordinary shares is confirmed starting from the day of consideration receivables (generally the offering date of stock) according to the specific terms in the offering agreement. The numerator of the diluted earnings per share is the net profit for the period attributable to ordinary shareholders of the Company, which is confirmed after adjusting the following factors: (1) interests of diluted potential ordinary shares recognised as expenses for the period; (2) gains or expenses arising from the transfer of diluted potential ordinary shares; and (3) effect of income tax due to the above adjustment. The denominator of diluted earnings per share is the sum of the followings: (1) weighted average number of ordinary shares in issue of the parent company in the basic earnings per share; and (2) average weighted number of the increased ordinary shares during the transfer of the estimated diluted potential ordinary shares to ordinary shares. For the purpose of calculating the average weighted number of the increased ordinary shares during the transfer of the estimated diluted potential ordinary shares to ordinary shares in issue, diluted potential ordinary shares issued during the prior period were assumed to be transferred as at the beginning of the current period while diluted potential ordinary shares issued in the current period were assumed to be transferred on offering date.

Therefore, diluted earnings per share are equal to basic earnings per share. (1) Net profit for the period attributable to ordinary shareholders for the purpose of calculating earnings per share are as follows: RMB Incurred Incurred during the during the Items current period prior period Net profit for the period attributable to ordinary shareholders 479,834,261.78 607,868,970.24 Of which: net profit attributable to continued operations 479,834,261.78 607,868,970.24 net profit attributable to discontinued operations — — Net profit after deducting extraordinary gains and losses attributable to ordinary shareholders of the Company 382,038,739.41 577,372,863.48 Of which: net profit attributable to continued operations 382,038,739.41 577,372,863.48 net profit attributable to discontinued operations — — 111 VII. Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (Cont’d) 48. Basic earnings per share and diluted earnings per share (Cont’d) (2) For the purpose of calculating earnings per share, the denominator is the weighted average of outstanding ordinary shares.
