Notes to the Financial Statements
I BASIC CORPORATE INFORMATION
ADAMA Ltd (former name: Hubei Sanonda Co., Ltd., hereinafter the “Company” or the “Group”) is a
company limited by shares established in China with its head office located in Hubei Jingzhou.
During July 2017 a major assets restructuring was successfully completed, with the acquisition of Adama
Agricultural Solutions Ltd (hereinafter: "Solutions"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of China National
Agrochemical Corporation Limited (hereinafter: "CNAC").
Following the completion of the major assets restructuring, Solutions became a wholly owned subsidiary
of the Company. The combination was considered as a business combination under common control.
The Company's parent company is CNAC, and the ultimate holding company is China National Chemical
Corporation (hereinafter - “ChemChina”).
The principal activities of the Company and its subsidiaries (together referred to as the “Group”) are
engaged in development, manufacturing and marketing of agrochemicals, intermediate materials for other
industries, food additives and synthetic aromatic products, mainly for export. For information about the
largest subsidiaries of the Company, refer to Note VII.
The Company’s consolidated financial statements had been approved by the Board of Directors of the
Company on August 21, 2019.
Details of the scope of consolidated financial statements are set out in Note VII "Interest in other entities",
whereas the changes of the scope of consolidation are set out in Note VI "Changes in consolidation scope".
II BASIS OF PREPARATION
1. Basis of preparation
The Group has adopted the Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises issued by the Ministry of
Finance (the "MoF"). In addition, the Group has disclosed relevant financial information in these financial

2. Accrual basis and measurement principle
The Group has adopted the accrual basis of accounting. Except for certain financial instruments which are
measured at fair value, deferred tax assets and liabilities, assets and liabilities relating to employee benefits,
provisions, and investments in associated companies and joint ventures, the Group adopts the historical
cost as the principle of measurement in the financial statements. Where assets are impaired, provisions for
asset impairment are made in accordance with relevant requirements.
In the historical cost measurement, assets obtained shall be measured at the amount of cash or cash
equivalents or fair value of the consideration paid. Liabilities shall be measured at the actual amount of
cash or assets received, or the contractual amount in a present obligation, or the prospective amount of
cash or cash equivalents paid to discharge the liabilities.
Fair value is the amount for which an asset could be exchanged, or a liability settled, between
knowledgeable, willing market participants in an arm’s length transaction at the measurement date. Fair
value measured and disclosed in the financial statements are determined on this basis whether it is
observable or estimated by valuation techniques.
The following table provides an analysis, grouped into Levels 1 to 3 based on the degree to which the fair
value input is observable and significant to the fair value measurement as a whole:
Level 1 - based on quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets;
Level 2 - based on valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value
measurement is observable (other than quoted prices included within Level 1), either directly or
indirectly;
Level 3 - based on valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value
measurement is unobservable.
3. Going concern
The financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis.
The Group has performed an assessment of the going concern for the following 12 months from June 30,
2019 and have not identified any significant doubtful matter or event on the going concern, as such the
financial statement have been prepared on the going concern basis.

3. Business cycle
The company takes the period from the acquisition of assets for processing to their realisation in cash or
cash equivalents as a normal operating cycle. The operating cycle for the company is 12 months.
4. Reporting currency
The Company and its domestic subsidiaries choose Renminbi (hereinafter "RMB") as their functional
currency. Functional currencies of overseas subsidiaries are determined on the basis of the principal
economic environment in which the overseas subsidiaries operate. The functional currency of the overseas
subsidiaries is mainly the United States Dollar (hereinafter "USD"). The presentation currency of these
financial statements is Renminbi.
5. Business combinations
5.1 Business combinations involving enterprises 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 both before and after
the combination, and that control is not transitory. Assets and liabilities obtained shall be measured at their
respective carrying amounts as recorded by the combining entities at the date of the combination. The
difference between the carrying amount of the net assets obtained and the carrying amount of the
consideration paid for the combination is adjusted to the share premium in capital reserve. If the share
premium is not sufficient to absorb the difference, any excess shall be adjusted against retained earnings.
Costs that are directly attributable to the combination are charged to profit or loss in the period in which
they are incurred.
During March 2019, the acquisition of Jiangsu Anpon Electrochemical co. LTD. (Hereinafter – “Anpon”), a
wholly-owned subsidiary of CNAC, was successfully completed. Anpon became a wholly owned subsidiary of
the Company. The combination was considered as a business combination under common control. On March
29, 2019 the entire share capital of Anpon was transferred from CNAC to the Company - (See note VI.2 –
Change in consolidation scope).
5.2 Business combinations not involving enterprises under common control and goodwill.
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.
The costs of business combination are the fair value of the assets paid, liabilities incurred or assumed and
equity instruments issued by the acquirer for the purpose of achieving the control rights over the acquiree.
The intermediary costs such as audit, legal services and assessment consulting costs and other related
management costs that are directly attributable to the combination by the acquirer are charged to profit or
loss in the period in which they are incurred. Direct capital issuance costs incurred in respect of equity
instruments or liabilities issued pursuant to the business combination should be charged to the respect
equity instruments or liabilities upon initial recognition of the underlying equity instruments or liabilities.

5.2 Business combinations not involving enterprises under common control and goodwill - (cont’d)
The acquiree’s identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities acquired by the acquirer in a business
combination, that meet the recognition criteria shall be measured at fair value at the acquisition date.
Where the cost of combination exceeds the acquirer’s interest in the fair value of the acquiree’s identifiable
net assets, the difference is treated as an asset and recognized as goodwill, which is measured at cost on
initial recognition. Where the cost of combination is less than the acquirer’s interest in the fair value of the
acquiree’s identifiable net assets, the remaining difference is recognized immediately in profit or loss for
the current year.
The goodwill raised because of the business combination should be separately disclosed in the
consolidated financial statement and measured by the initial amount less any accumulative impairment
provision.
6. Basis for preparation of consolidated financial statements
The scope of consolidation in consolidated financial statements is determined on the basis of control.
Control is achieved when the Company has power over the investee; is exposed, or has rights, to variable
returns from its involvement with the investee; and has the ability to use its power to affect its returns.
For a subsidiary disposed of by the Group, the operating results and cash flows before the date of disposal
(the date when control is lost) are included in consolidated income statement and consolidated statement of
cash flows.
For a subsidiary acquired through a business combination not involving enterprises under common control,
the operating results and cash flows from the acquisition date (the date when control is obtained) are
included in consolidated income statement and consolidated statement of cash flows.
For a subsidiary acquired through a business combination involving enterprises under common control, it
will be fully consolidated into consolidated financial statements from the date on which the subsidiary was
ultimately under common control by the same party or parties.
The significant accounting policies and accounting years adopted by the subsidiaries are determined based
on the uniform accounting policies and accounting years set out by the Company.
All significant intra-group balances, transactions and unrealized profits are eliminated on consolidation.
The portion of subsidiaries' equity that is not attributable to the Company is treated as non-controlling
interests and presented as "non-controlling interests" in the shareholders’ equity in consolidated balance
sheet. The portion of net profits or losses of subsidiaries for the period attributable to non-controlling
interests is presented as "non-controlling interests" in consolidated income statement below the "net profit"
line item. Total comprehensive income attributable to non-controlling shareholders is presented separately
in the consolidated income statement below the total comprehensive income line item.

6. Basis for preparation of consolidated financial statements - (cont’d)
When the amount of loss for the period attributable to the non-controlling shareholders of a subsidiary
exceeds the non-controlling shareholders' portion of the opening balance of owners' equity of the
subsidiary, the excess amount is still allocated against non-controlling interests.
Acquisition of non-controlling interests or disposal of equity interest in a subsidiary that does not result in
the loss of control over the subsidiary is accounted for as equity transactions. The carrying amounts of the
Company's interests and non-controlling interests are adjusted to reflect the changes in their relative
interests in the subsidiary. The difference between the amount by which the non-controlling interests are
adjusted and the fair value of the consideration paid or received is adjusted to capital reserve under owners'
equity. If the capital reserve is not sufficient to absorb the difference, the excess is adjusted against
retained earnings. Other comprehensive income attributed to the non-controlling interest is reattributed to
the shareholders of the company.
A put option issued by the Group to holders of non-controlling interests that is settled in cash or other
financial instrument is recognized as a liability at the present value of the exercise price. The Group’s share
of a subsidiary’s profits includes the share of the holders of the non-controlling interests to which the
Group issued a put option.
When the Group loses control over a subsidiary due to disposal of certain equity interest or other reasons,
any retained interest is re-measured at its fair value at the date when control is lost. The difference between
(i) the aggregate of the consideration received on disposal and the fair value of any retained interest and (ii)
the share of the former subsidiary's net assets cumulatively calculated from the acquisition date according
to the original proportion of ownership interest is recognized as investment income in the period in which
control is lost. Other comprehensive income associated with the disposed subsidiary is reclassified to
investment income in the period in which control is lost.
7. Classification and accounting methods of joint arrangement
Joint arrangement involves by two or more parties jointly control. Joint control is the contractually agreed
sharing of control over an economic activity, and exists only when the strategic financial and operating
decisions relating to the activity require the unanimous consent of the parties sharing control (the ventures).
The Group makes the classification of the joint arrangements according to the rights and obligations in the
joint arrangements to either joint operations or joint ventures.
A joint venture is a joint arrangement whereby the parties that have joint control of the arrangement have
rights to the net assets of the joint arrangement. Joint ventures are accounted for using the equity method.
8. Cash and cash equivalents
Cash comprises cash on hand and deposits that can be readily withdrawn on demand. Cash equivalents are
the Group's short-term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash
and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.

9. Translation of transactions and financial statements denominated in foreign currencies
9.1 Transactions denominated in foreign currencies
On initial recognition, foreign currency transactions are translated into functional currency using the spot
exchange rate prevailing at the date of transaction.
At the balance sheet date, foreign currency monetary items are translated into functional currency using the
spot exchange rates at the balance sheet date. Exchange differences arising from the differences between
the spot exchange rates prevailing at the balance sheet date and those on initial recognition or at the
previous balance sheet date are recognized in profit or loss for the period, except that (i) exchange
differences related to a specific-purpose borrowing denominated in foreign currency that qualify for
capitalization are capitalized as part of the cost of the qualifying asset during the capitalization period. (ii)
exchange differences related to hedging instruments for the purpose of hedging against foreign currency
risks are accounted for using hedge accounting.
When preparing financial statements involving foreign operations, if there is any foreign currency
monetary items, which in substance forms part of the net investment in the foreign operations, exchange
differences arising from the changes of foreign currency are recorded as other comprehensive income, and
will be reclassified to profit or loss upon disposal of the foreign operations.
Foreign currency non-monetary items measured at historical cost are translated to the amounts in
functional currency at the spot exchange rates on the dates of the transactions and the amounts in
functional currency remain unchanged.
9.2 Translation of financial statements denominated in foreign currency
For the purpose of preparing consolidated financial statements, financial statements of a foreign operation
are translated from the foreign currency into RMB using the following method: assets and liabilities on the
balance sheet are translated at the spot exchange rate prevailing at the balance sheet date; shareholders'
equity items except for retained earnings are translated at the spot exchange rates at the dates on which
such items arose; all items in the income statement as well as items reflecting the distribution of profits are
translated at average rate or at the spot exchange rates on the dates of the transactions; the opening balance
of retained earnings is the translated closing balance of the previous year's retained earnings; the closing
balance of retained earnings is calculated and presented on the basis of each translated income statement
and profit distribution item. The difference between the translated assets and the aggregate of liabilities and
shareholders' equity items is recorded as other comprehensive income. Cash Flows arising from transaction
in foreign currency and the cash flows of a foreign subsidiary are translated at the spot exchange rate on
the date of the cash flow, the effect of exchange rate changes on the cash and cash equivalents is regarded
as a reconciling item and present separately in the statement “effect of foreign exchange rate changes on
the cash and cash equivalents".
The opening balances and the comparative figures of prior year are presented at the translated amounts in
the prior year's financial statements.
On disposal of the Group's entire equity interest in a foreign operation, or upon a loss of control over a
foreign operation due to disposal of certain equity interest in it or other reasons, the Group transfers the
accumulated translation differences, which are attributable to the owners' equity of the Company and
presented under other comprehensive income to profit or loss in the period in which the disposal occurs.

9.2 Translation of financial statements denominated in foreign currency - (cont’d)
In case of a disposal or other reason that does not result in the Group losing control over a foreign
operation, the proportionate share of accumulated translation differences are re-attributed to non-
controlling interests and are not recognized in profit and loss. For partial disposals of equity interest in
foreign operations, which are associates or joint ventures, the proportionate share of the accumulated
translation differences are reclassified to profit or loss.
10. Financial instruments
The Group recognizes a financial asset or a financial liability when it becomes a party to the contractual
provisions of the instrument. At initial recognition, the Group measures a financial asset or financial
liability at its fair value plus or minus, in the case of a financial asset or financial liability not at fair value
through profit or loss, transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of the
financial asset or financial liability. At initial recognition, an entity shall measure trade receivables at their
transaction price if the trade receivables do not contain a significant financing component.
10.1 Classification and measurement of financial assets
After initial recognition, an entity shall measure a financial asset at: (a) amortised cost; (b) fair value
through other comprehensive income (“FVTOCI”); or (c) fair value through profit or loss (“FVTPL”).
10.1.1 Financial assets at amortised cost
A financial asset is measured at amortised cost if both of the following conditions are met:
(a) the financial asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold financial assets in order to
collect contractual cash flows; and (b) the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified
dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.
Such financial assets are subsequently measured at amortised cost, using effective interest method. Gains
or losses upon impairment and derecognition are recognized in profit or loss.
10.1.1.1 Effective interest method and amortised cost
Effective interest method represents the method for calculating the amortized costs and interest income or
expense of each period in accordance with the effective interest rate of financial assets or financial
liabilities (inclusive of a set of financial assets or financial liabilities). Effective interest rate represents the
rate that discounts the future cash flow over the expected subsisting period or shorter period, if appropriate,
of the financial asset or financial liability to the current carrying value of such financial asset or financial
liability.
When calculating the effective interest rate, the Group will consider the anticipated future cash flow (not
considering the future credit loss) on the basis of all contract clauses of financial assets or financial
liabilities, as well as consider all kinds of charges which are an integral part of the effective interest rate,
including transaction fees and discount or premium paid or received between both parties of financial asset
or financial liability contract.

10.1.2 Financial assets at FVTOCI
A financial asset is measured at fair value through other comprehensive income if both of the following
conditions are met: (a) the financial asset is held within a business model whose objective is achieved by
both collecting contractual cash flows and selling financial assets and (b) the contractual terms of the
financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest
on the principal amount outstanding.
A gain or loss on a financial asset measured at fair value through other comprehensive income is
recognized in other comprehensive income, except for impairment gains or losses, foreign exchange gains
and losses and interest calculated using the effective interest method, until the financial asset is
derecognized or reclassified. When the financial asset is derecognized the cumulative gain or loss
previously recognized in other comprehensive income is reclassified from equity to profit or loss as a
reclassification adjustment.
10.1.3 Financial assets at FVTPL
Financial assets at FVTPL are either those that are classified as financial assets at FVTPL or designated as
financial assets at FVTPL.
A financial asset is measured at FVTPL unless it is measured at amortised cost or at FVTOCI.
The Group may, at initial recognition, irrevocably designate a financial asset as measured at FVTPL if
doing so eliminates or significantly reduces a measurement or recognition inconsistency (sometimes
referred to as an ‘accounting mismatch’) that would otherwise arise from measuring assets or liabilities or
recognizing the gains and losses on them on different bases.
A gain or loss on a financial asset that is measured at FVTPL is recognized in profit or loss unless it is part
of a hedging relationship. Dividends are recognized in profit or loss.
10.1.4 Designated financial assets at FVTOCI
At initial recognition, the Group makes an irrevocable election to designate to FVTOCI an investment in an
equity instrument that is not held for trading.
When a non-trading equity instrument investment is designated as a financial asset that is measured at fair
value through other comprehensive income, the changes in the fair value of the financial asset are
recognised in other comprehensive income. Upon realization the accumulated gains or losses from other
comprehensive income are transferred from other comprehensive income and included in retained earnings.
During the period in which the Group holds these non-trading investment instruments, the right to receive
dividends in the Group has been established, and the economic benefits related to dividends are likely to
flow into the Group, and when the amount of dividends can be reliably measured, the dividend income is
recognized in the current profit and loss.

10.2 Impairment of financial assets
The Group recognizes a loss allowance for expected credit losses on financial assets that are classified to
amortised cost and FVTOCI.
The Group always measures the loss allowance at an amount equal to lifetime expected credit losses for
trade receivables.
For financial assets other than trade receivables, the Group initially measure the loss allowance for that
financial instrument at an amount equal to 12-month expected credit losses. At each balance sheet date, if
the credit risk on that financial instrument has increased significantly since initial recognition, the Group
measures the loss allowance for a financial instrument at an amount equal to the lifetime expected credit
losses. The Group recognizes in profit or loss, as an impairment gain or loss, the amount of expected credit
losses (or reversal) that is required to adjust the loss allowance to the amount that is required to be
recognized.
10.2.1 Significant increases in credit risk
At each balance sheet date, the Group assesses whether the credit risk on a financial instrument has
increased significantly since initial recognition.
The Group mainly considers the following list of information in assessing changes in credit risk:
(a) significant changes in internal price indicators of credit risk as a result of a change in credit risk since
inception.
(b) significant changes in external market indicators of credit risk for a particular financial instrument or
similar financial instruments with the same expected life.
(c) a significant change in the debtors’ ability to meet its debt obligations.
(d) an actual or expected significant change in the operating results of the debtor.
(e) significant increases in credit risk on other financial instruments of the same debtor.
(f) an actual or expected significant adverse change in the regulatory, economic, or technological
environment of the debtor.
(g) significant changes in the value of the collateral supporting the obligation or in the quality of third-party
guarantees or credit enhancements, which are expected to reduce the debtor’s economic
incentive to make scheduled contractual payments or to otherwise have an effect on the probability
of a default occurring.
(h) significant changes that are expected to reduce the receivable’s economic incentive to make
scheduled contractual payments.
(i) significant changes in the expected performance and behaviour of the debtor.
(j) past due information.
The Group assumes that the credit risk on a financial instrument has not increased significantly since initial
recognition if the financial instrument is determined to have low credit risk at the reporting date.

10.2.2 Credit-impaired financial asset
A financial asset is credit-impaired when one or more events that have a detrimental impact on the
estimated future cash flows of that financial asset have occurred. Evidence that a financial asset is credit-
impaired include observable data about the following events:
(a) significant financial difficulty of the issuer or the receivable;
(b) a breach of contract, such as a default or past due event;
(c) the lender(s) of the receivable, for economic or contractual reasons relating to the receivable’s financial
difficulty, having granted to the receivable a concession(s) that the lender(s) would not otherwise
consider;
(d) it is becoming probable that the receivable will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganization;
10.2.3 Recognition of expected credit losses
For the purpose of determining significant increases in credit risk and recognizing a loss allowance on a
collective basis, financial instruments are grouped on the basis of shared credit risk. Examples of shared
credit risk characteristics may include, but are not limited to, the:(a) instrument type; (b) credit risk ratings;
(c) collateral type; (d) industry; (e) geographical location of the debtor; and (f) the value of collateral
relative to the financial asset if it has an impact on the probability of a default occurring.
Expected credit losses of financial instruments are determined as the present value of the difference
between: (a) the contractual cash flows that are due to an entity under the contract; and (b) the cash flows
that the entity expects to receive.
For a financial asset that is credit-impaired at the reporting date, an entity shall measure the expected credit
losses as the difference between the asset’s gross carrying amount and the present value of estimated future
cash flows discounted at the financial asset’s original effective interest rate. Any adjustment is recognized
in profit or loss as an impairment gain or loss.
The Group measures expected credit losses of a financial instrument in a way that reflects:
(a) an unbiased and probability-weighted amount that is determined by evaluating a range of possible
outcomes;
(b) the time value of money; and
(c) reasonable and supportable information that is available without undue cost or effort at the reporting
date about past events, current conditions and forecasts of future economic conditions.
10.2.4 Written-off of financial assets
The Group directly reduces the gross carrying amount of a financial asset when the entity has no reasonable
expectations of recovering a financial asset in its entirety or a portion thereof. A write-off constitutes a
derecognition event.

10.3 Transfer of financial asset
The Group derecognizes a financial asset if one of the following conditions is satisfied: (i) the contractual
rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire; or (ii) the financial asset has been transferred and
substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset is transferred to the transferee; or
(iii) although the financial asset has been transferred, the Group neither transfers nor retains substantially
all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset but has not retained control of the financial
asset.
If the Group neither transfers nor retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of a financial
asset, and it retains control of the financial asset, it recognizes the financial asset to the extent of its
continuing involvement in the transferred financial asset and recognizes an associated liability. The extent
of the Group’s continuing involvement in the transferred asset is the extent to which it is exposed to
changes in the value of the transferred asset.
When the company is derecognizing a financial asset in its entirety, except for equity instrument designated
to FVTOCI, the difference between (i) the carrying amount of the financial asset transferred; and (ii) the
sum of the consideration received from the transfer is recognized in profit or loss.
10.4 Classification and measurement of financial liabilities
Debt and equity instruments are classified as either financial liabilities or as equity in accordance with the
substance of the contractual arrangements and the definitions of a financial liability and an equity
instrument.
All financial liabilities are subsequently measured at FVTPL or other financial liabilities.
Financial liabilities are classified as at FVTPL when the financial liability is (i) held for trading or (ii) it is
designated as at FVTPL. The financial liability other than derivative financial liabilities are stated as
liabilities held for trading.
Other financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortized cost by using effective interest method.
Gain or loss arising from derecognition or amortization is recognized in current profit or loss.

10.5 Derecognition of financial liabilities
Financial liabilities are derecognized in full or in part only when the present obligation is discharged in full
or in part. An agreement entered into force between the Group (debtor) and a creditor to replace the original
financial liabilities with new financial liabilities with substantially different terms, derecognize the original
financial liabilities as well as recognize the new financial liabilities. When financial liabilities is
derecognized in full or in part, the difference between the carrying amount of the financial liabilities
derecognized and the consideration paid (including transferred non-cash assets or new financial liability) is
recognized in profit or loss for the current period.
10.6 Derivatives
Derivative financial instruments include forward exchange contracts, currency swaps and foreign exchange
options, etc. Derivatives are initially measured at fair value at the date when the derivative contracts are
entered into and are subsequently re-measured at fair value. The resulting gain or loss is recognized in
profit or loss unless the derivative is designated and highly effective as a hedging instrument, in which case
the timing of the recognition in profit or loss depends on the nature of the hedge relationship (Note III 28.1).
10.7 Offsetting financial assets and financial liabilities
Financial assets and financial liabilities shall be presented separately in the balance sheet and shall not be
offset, except for circumstances where the Group has a legal right that is currently enforceable to offset the
recognized financial assets and financial liabilities, and intends either to settle on a net basis, or to realize
the financial asset and settle the financial liability simultaneously, a financial asset and a financial liability
shall be offset and the net amount is presented in the balance sheet.
10.8 Equity instruments
The consideration received from the issuance of equity instruments net of transaction costs is recognized in
shareholders’ equity. Consideration and transaction costs paid by the Company for repurchasing self-issued
equity instruments are deducted from shareholders’ equity.
When the Company repurchases its own shares, those shares are treated as treasury shares. All expenditures
relating to the repurchase are recorded in the cost of the treasury shares, with the transaction entering into
the share capital. Treasury shares are excluded from profit distributions and are stated as a deduction under
shareholders’ equity in the balance sheet.

11. Receivable
Receivables are assessed for impairment on a collective group and/or on an individual basis as follows:
Expected credit losses in respect of a receivable is measured at an amount equal to lifetime expected credit
losses. The assessment is made collectively for account receivables, where receivables share similar credit
risk characteristics based on geographical location, using the expected credit losses model including inter-
alia aging analysis, historical loss experiences adjusted by the observable factors reflecting current and
expected future economic conditions. The ratio of the collective provision for non-overdue account
receivables is between 0%-1.4%.
When credit risk on a receivable has increased significantly since initial recognition, the group records
specific provision or collective provision, which is determined for groups of similar assets in countries in
which there are large number of customers with immaterial balances.
In assessing whether the credit risk on a receivable has increased significantly since initial recognition, the
Group compares the risk of a default occurring on the receivable at the reporting date with the risk of a
default occurring on the receivable at the date of initial recognition and considers both quantitative and
qualitative information that is reasonable and supportable, including observable data that comes to the
attention of the Group about loss events such as a significant decline in the solvency of an individual
debtor or the portfolio of debtors, and significant changes in the financial condition that have an adverse
effect on the debtor.
12. Inventories
12.1 Categories of inventories and initial measurement
The Group's inventories mainly include raw materials, work in progress, semi-finished goods, finished
goods and reusable materials. Reusable materials include low-value consumables, packaging materials and
other materials, which can be used repeatedly but do not meet the definition of fixed assets.
Inventories are initially measured at cost. Cost of inventories comprises all costs of purchase, costs of
conversion and other expenditures incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and
condition including direct labor costs and an appropriate allocation of production overheads.
12.2 Valuation method of inventories upon delivery
The actual cost of inventories upon delivery is calculated using the weighted average method.
12.3 Basis for determining net realizable value of inventories and provision methods for decline in value of
inventories
At the balance sheet date, inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value. If the net
realizable value is below the cost of inventories, a provision for decline in value of inventories is made.
Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs
of completion, the estimated costs necessary to make the sale and relevant taxes.
After the provision for decline in value of inventories is made, if the circumstances that previously caused
inventories to be written down below cost no longer exist so that the net realizable value of inventories is
higher than their carrying amount, the original provision for decline in value is reversed and the reversal is
included in profit or loss for the period.
12.4 The perpetual inventory system is maintained for stock system.

13. Long-term equity investments
Long-term equity investments include investments in subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates.
Subsidiaries are the companies that are controlled by the Company. Associates are the companies over
which the Group has significant influence. Joint ventures are joint arrangements over which the Group has
joint control along with other investors and has rights to the net assets of the joint arrangement.
The Company accounts for the investment in subsidiaries at historical cost in the Company's financial
statements. Investments in associates and joint ventures are accounted for under equity method.
13.1 Determination of investment cost
For a long-term equity investment acquired through a business combination involving enterprises under
common control, the investment cost of the long-term equity investment is the share of the carrying
amount of the shareholders' equity of the acquiree attributable to the ultimate controlling party at the date
of combination. For a long-term equity investment acquired through business combination not involving
enterprises under common control, the investment cost of the long-term equity investment is the cost of
acquisition. For a business combination not involving enterprises under common control achieved in stages
that involves multiple exchange transactions, the initial investment cost is carried at the aggregate of the
carrying amount of the acquirer’s previously held equity interest in the acquiree and the new investment
cost incurred on the acquisition date.
Regarding the long-term equity investment acquired otherwise than through a business combination, if the
long-term equity investment is acquired by cash, the historical cost is determined based on the amount of
cash paid and payable; if the long-term equity investment is acquired through the issuance of equity
instruments, the historical cost is determined based on the fair value of the equity instruments issued.

13.2 Subsequent measurement and recognition of profit or loss
If the long-term equity investment is accounted for at cost, it should be measured at historical cost less
accumulated impairment losses. Dividend declared by the investee should be accounted for as investment
income.
Under the equity method, where the initial investment cost of a long-term equity investment exceeds the
Group’s share of the fair value of the investee’s identifiable net assets at the time of acquisition, no
adjustment is made to the initial investment cost. Where the initial investment cost is less than the Group’s
share of the fair value of the investee’s identifiable net assets at the time of acquisition, the difference is
recognized in profit or loss for the period, and the cost of the long-term equity investment is adjusted
accordingly.
Under the equity method, the Group recognizes its share of the net profit or loss and other comprehensive
income of the investee for the period as investment income or loss and other comprehensive income for the
period. The Group recognizes its share of the investee’s net profit or loss based on the fair value of the
investee’s individual separately identifiable assets, etc. at the acquisition date after making appropriate
adjustments to be confirmed with the Group's accounting policies and accounting period. The Group
discontinues recognizing its share of net losses of the investee after the carrying amount of the long-term
equity investment together with any long-term interests that in substance form part of its net investment in
the investee is reduced to zero. If the Group has incurred obligations to assume additional losses of the
investee, a provision is recognized according to the expected obligation, and recorded as investment loss
for the period.
13.3 Basis for determining control, joint control and significant influence over investee
Control is achieved when the Company has power over the investee; is exposed, or has rights, to variable
returns from its involvement with the investee; and has the ability to use its power to affect its returns.
Joint control is the contractually agreed sharing of control over an economic activity, and exists only when
the strategic financial and operating policy decisions relating to the activity require the unanimous consent
of the parties sharing control.
Significant influence is the power to participate in the financial and operating policy decisions of the
investee but is not control or joint control over those policies.
When determining whether an investing enterprise is able to exercise control or significant influence over
an investee, the effect of potential voting rights of the investee (for example, warrants and convertible
debts) held by the investing enterprises or other parties that are currently exercisable or convertible shall be
considered.
13.4 Methods of impairment assessment and determining the provision for impairment loss
If the recoverable amounts of the investments to subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates are less than
their carrying amounts, an impairment loss should be recognized to reduce the carrying amounts to the
recoverable amounts (Note III 20).
13.5 The disposal of long-term equity investment
On disposal of a long term equity investment, the difference between the proceeds actually received and
receivable and the carrying amount is recognized in profit or loss for the period.

14. Investment properties
Investment property refers to real estate held to earn rentals or for capital appreciation, or both, including
leased land use rights, land use rights held and provided for transferring after appreciation and leased
constructions, etc.
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 subsequent
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 amortized using the same policy as that for buildings and land use rights.
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 taxes and surcharges is recognized in profit or loss
for the current period.
15. Fixed assets
15.1 Recognition criteria for fixed assets
Fixed assets include land owned by the Group and buildings, machinery and equipment, transportation
vehicles, office equipment and others.
Fixed assets are tangible assets that are held for use in the production or supply of goods or for
administrative purposes, and have useful lives of more than one accounting year. A fixed asset is
recognized only when it is probable that economic benefits associated with the asset will flow to the Group
and the cost of the asset can be reliably measured. Purchased or constructed fixed assets are initially
measured at cost when acquired.
Subsequent expenditures incurred for the fixed asset are included in the cost of the fixed asset and if it is
probable that economic benefits associated with the asset will flow to the Group and the subsequent
expenditures can be measured reliably. Other subsequent expenditures are recognized in profit or loss in
the period in which they are incurred.

15.2 Depreciation of each category of fixed assets
Fixed asset is depreciated based on the cost of fixed asset recognized less expected net residual value over
its useful life using the straight-line method since the month subsequent to the one in which it is ready for
intended use. Depreciation is calculated based on the carrying amount of the fixed asset after impairment
over the estimated remaining useful life of the asset.
The Group reviews the useful life and estimated net residual value of a fixed asset and the depreciation
method applied at least once at each financial year-end, and account for any change as a change in an
accounting estimate.
The estimated useful life, estimated net residual value and annual depreciation rate of each category of
fixed assets are as follows:
Residual Annual
Useful life value depreciation rate
Category Depreciation (years) (%) (%)
Buildings the straight-line method 15-50 0-4 1.9-6.7
Machinery and equipment the straight-line method 3-22 0-4 4.4-33.3
Office and other equipment the straight-line method 3-17 0-4 5.6-33.3
Motor vehicles the straight-line method 5-9 0-2 10.9-20.0
Land owned by the Group is not depreciated.
15.3 Other explanations
If a fixed asset is upon disposal or no future economic benefits are expected to be generated from its use or
disposal, the fixed asset is derecognized. When a fixed asset is sold, transferred, retired or damaged, the
amount of any proceeds on disposal of the asset net of the carrying amount and related taxes is recognized
in profit or loss for the period.
The difference between recoverable amounts of the fixed assets under the carrying amount is referred to as
impairment loss (Note III 20).
16. Construction in progress
Construction in progress is measured at its actual costs. The actual costs include various construction,
installation costs, borrowing costs capitalized and other expenditures incurred until such time as the
relevant assets are completed and ready for its intended use. When the asset concerned is ready for its
intended use, the cost of the asset is transferred to fixed assets and depreciated starting from the following
month.
The difference between recoverable amounts of the construction in progress under the carrying amount is
referred to as impairment loss (Note III 20).

17. Borrowing costs
Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of qualifying asset are
capitalized when expenditures for such asset and borrowing costs are incurred and 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. Capitalization of borrowing costs ceases when the qualifying asset being
acquired, constructed or produced becomes ready for its intended use or sale. Borrowing costs incurred
subsequently should be charged to profit or loss. Capitalization of borrowing costs is suspended during
periods in which the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset is suspended abnormally
and when the suspension is for a continuous period of more than 3 months. Capitalization is suspended
until the acquisition, construction or production of the asset is resumed.
Where funds are borrowed under a specific-purpose borrowing, the amount of interest to be capitalized is
the actual interest expenses incurred on that borrowing for the period less any bank interest earned from
depositing the borrowed funds before being used on the asset or any investment income on the temporary
investment of those funds.
Where funds are borrowed under general-purpose borrowings, the Group determines the amount of interest
to be capitalized on such borrowings by applying a capitalization rate to the weighted average of the excess
of cumulative expenditures on the asset over the amounts of specific-purpose borrowings. The
capitalization rate is the weighted average of the interest rates applicable to the general-purpose
borrowings.
During the capitalization period, exchange differences on foreign currency specific-purpose borrowing are
fully capitalized whereas exchange differences on foreign currency general-purpose borrowing is charged
to profit or loss.
18. Intangible assets
18.1 Valuation methods, useful life, impairment test
The Group’s intangible assets include product registration assets, intangible assets upon purchase of
products, marketing rights and rights to use trademarks, land use rights and software. Intangible assets are
stated at the balance sheet at cost less accumulated amortization and impairment losses.
When an intangible asset with a finite useful life is available for use, its original cost less any accumulated
impairment losses is amortized over its estimated useful life using the straight-line method. An intangible
asset with an indefinite useful life is not amortized.
For an intangible asset with a finite useful life, the Group reviews the useful life and amortization method
at the end of the year, and makes adjustments when necessary.
The respective amortization periods for such intangible assets are as follows:
Item Amortization period (years)
Land use rights 49-50 years
Product registration 8 years
Intangible assets on purchase of products 7-11, 20 years
Tradename and trademarks 4-10, 30 years
Software 3-5 years
Customer relations 5-10 years
The difference between recoverable amounts of the intangible assets under the carrying amount is referred
to as impairment loss (see Note III 20).

18.2 Research and development expenditure
Internal research and development project expenditures were classified into research expenditures and
development expenditures depending on its nature and the greater uncertainty whether the research
activities becoming to intangible assets.
Expenditure during the research phase is recognized as an expense in the period in which it is incurred.
Expenditure during the development phase that meets all of the following conditions at the same time is
recognized as intangible asset:
- It is technically feasible to complete the intangible asset so that it will be available for use or sale;
- The Group has the intention to complete the intangible asset and use or sell it;
- The Group can demonstrate the ways in which the intangible asset will generate economic benefits;
- The availability of adequate technical, financial and other resources to complete the development and the
ability to use or sell the intangible asset;
- The expenditure attributable to the intangible asset during its development phase can be reliably
measured.
Expenditures that do not meet all of the above conditions at the same time are recognized in profit or loss
when incurred. If the expenditures cannot be distinguished between the research phase and development
phase, the Group recognizes all of them in profit or loss for the period. Expenditures that have previously
been recognized in the profit or loss would not be recognized as an asset in subsequent years. Those
expenditures capitalized during the development stage are recognized as development costs incurred and
will be transferred to intangible asset when the underlying project is ready for an intended use.
19. Goodwill
The initial cost of goodwill represents the excess of cost of acquisition over the acquirer’s interest in the
fair value of the identifiable net assets of the acquiree under a business combination not involving
enterprises under common control.
Goodwill is not amortized and is stated in the balance sheet at cost less accumulated impairment losses
(see Note III 20). On disposal of an asset group or a set of asset groups, any attributable goodwill is written
off and included in the calculation of the profit or loss on disposal.
20. Impairment of long-term assets
The Company assesses at each balance sheet date whether there is any indication that the fixed assets,
construction in progress, right of use assets, intangible assets with finite useful lives, investment properties
measured at historical cost, investments in subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates may be impaired. If
there is any indication that such assets may be impaired, recoverable amounts are estimated for such assets.
The recoverable amount of an asset is the higher of its fair value less costs to sell and the present value of
the future cash flow estimated to be derived from the asset. The Group estimates the recoverable amount on
an individual basis. If it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of the individual asset, the
Group determines the recoverable amount of the asset group to which the asset belongs. Identification of an
asset group is based on whether major cash inflows generated by the asset group are largely independent of
the cash inflows from other assets or asset groups.

20. Impairment of long-term assets - (cont’d)
Goodwill arising from a business combination is tested for impairment at least at each year end,
irrespective of whether there is any indication that the asset may be impaired. For the purpose of
impairment testing, the carrying amount of goodwill acquired in a business combination is allocated from
the acquisition date on a reasonable basis to each of the related asset groups; if it is impossible to allocate
to the related asset groups, it is allocated to each of the related set of asset groups. Each of the related asset
groups or set of asset groups is an asset group or set of asset group that is able to benefit from the synergies
of the business combination and shall not be larger than a reportable segment determined by the Group. If
the carrying amount of the asset group or set of asset groups is higher than its recoverable amount, the
amount of the impairment loss first reduced by the carrying amount of the goodwill allocated to the asset
group or set of asset groups, and then the carrying amount of other assets (other than the goodwill) within
the asset group or set of asset groups, pro rata based on the carrying amount of each asset.
Once the impairment loss of such assets is recognized, it will not be reversed in any subsequent period.
21. Employee benefits
21.1 Short-term employee benefits
Employee wages or salaries, bonuses, social security contributions, measured on a non-discounted basis,
and the expense is recorded when the related service is provided. A provision for short-term employee
benefits in respect of cash bonuses is recognized in the amount expected to be paid where the Group has a
current legal or constructive obligation to pay the said amount for services provided by the employee in the
past and the amount can be estimated reliably.
21.2 Post-employment benefits
Post-employment benefits are classified into defined contribution plans and defined benefit plans.
A defined contribution plan is a post-employment benefit plan under which the Group pays contributions
to a separate entity and has no legal or constructive obligation to pay further amounts. Obligations for
contributions to defined contribution plans are recognized as an expense in profit or loss in the periods
during which related services are rendered by employees.
Defined benefit plans of the Group are post-employment benefit plans other than defined contribution
plans. In accordance with the projected unit credit method, the Group measures the obligations under
defined benefit plans using unbiased and mutually compatible actuarial assumptions to estimate related
demographic variables and financial variables, and discount obligations under the defined benefit plans to
determine the present value of the defined benefit liability. The discount rate used is the yield on the
reporting date on highly-rated corporate debentures denominated in the same currency, that have maturity
dates approximating the terms of the Group’s obligation.
The Group attributes benefit obligations under a defined benefit plan to periods of service provided by
respective employees. Service cost and interest expense on the defined benefit liability are charged to
profit or loss and remeasurements of the defined benefit liability are recognized in other comprehensive
income.

6538 Termination benefits
When the Group terminates the employment with employees or provides compensation under an offer to
encourage employees to accept voluntary redundancy, a provision is recognized with a corresponding
expense in profit or loss at the earlier of the following dates:
- When the Group cannot unilaterally withdraw the offer of termination benefits because of an employee
termination plan or a curtailment proposal.
- When the Group has a formal detailed restructuring plan involving the payment of termination benefits
and has raised a valid expectation in those affected that it will carry out the restructuring by starting to
implement that plan or announcing its main features to those affected by it.
If the benefits are payable more than 12 months after the end of the reporting period, they are discounted to
their present value. The discount rate used is the yield on the reporting date on highly-rated corporate
debentures denominated in the same currency, that have maturity dates approximating the terms of the
Group’s obligation.
25.4 Other long-term employee benefits
The Group’s net obligation for long-term employee benefits, which are not attributable to
post-employment benefit plans, is for the amount of the future benefit to which employees are entitled for
services that were provided during the current and prior periods.
The amount of these benefits is discounted to its present value and the fair value of the assets related to
these obligations is deducted therefrom. The discount rate used is the yield on the reporting date on highly-
rated corporate debentures denominated in the same currency, that have maturity dates approximating the
terms of the Group’s obligation.
22. Share-based payment
Share-based payment refers to the transaction in order to acquire the service offered by the employees or
other parties that grants equity instruments or liabilities on the basis of the equity instruments. Share-based
payment classified into equity-settled share-based payment and cash-settled share-based payment.
22.1 Cash-settled share-based payment
The cash-settled share-based payment should be measured according to the fair value of the liabilities
recognized based on the shares or other equity instrument undertaken by the Company. For cash-settled
share-based payment made in return for the rendering of employee services that cannot be exercised until
the services are fully provided during the vesting period or specified performance targets are met, on each
balance sheet date within the vesting period, the services acquired in the current period shall, based on the
best estimate of the number of exercisable instruments, be recognized in relevant expenses and the
corresponding liabilities at the fair value of the liability incurred by the Company.
On each balance sheet date and the settlement date before the settlement of the relevant liabilities, the
Company should re-measure the fair value of the liabilities and the changes should be included in the
current period profit and loss.

23. Provisions
Provisions are recognized when the Group has a present obligation related to a contingency, it is probable
that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation, and the amount of the
obligation can be measured reliably.
The amount recognized as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present
obligation at the settlement date, taking into account factors pertaining to a contingency such as the risks,
uncertainties and time value of money. Where the effect of the time value of money is material, the amount
of the provision is determined by discounting the related future cash outflows. The increase in the
provision due to passage of time is recognized as interest expense.
If all or part of the provision settlements is reimbursed by third parties, when the realization of income is
virtually certain, then the related asset should be recognized. However, the amount of related asset
recognized should not be exceeding the respective provision amount.
At the balance sheet date, the amount of provision should be re-assessed to reflect the best estimation then.
24. Revenue
Revenue of the Group is mainly from sale of goods.
The Group recognizes revenue when transferring goods to a customer, at the amount of the transaction
price. Goods are considered transferred when the customer obtains control of the goods. Transaction price
is the amount of consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring goods
to a customer, excluding amounts collected on behalf of third parties.
Significant financing component
For a contract with a significant financing component, the Group recognize revenue at an amount that
reflects the price that a customer would have paid for the goods if the customer had paid cash for those
goods at receipt. The difference between the amount of consideration and the cash selling price of the
goods, is amortized in the contract period using effective interest rate. The Group does not adjust the
amount of consideration for the effects of a significant financing component if the Group expects, at
contract inception, that the period between when the entity transfers a good to a customer and when the
customer pays for that good will be one year or less.
Sale with a right of return
For sale with a right of return, the Group recognizes revenue at the amount of consideration to which the
Group expects to be entitled (ie excluding the products expected to be returned). For any amounts received
(or receivable) for which an entity does not expect to be entitled, the entity shall not recognize revenue
when it transfers products to customers but shall recognize those amounts received (or receivable) as a
refund liability. An asset recognized for the Group’s right to recover products from a customer on settling a
refund liability shall initially be measured by reference to the former carrying amount of the product less
any expected costs to recover those products.

25. Government grants
Government grants are transfer of monetary assets and non-monetary assets from the government to the
Group at no consideration, including tax returns, financial subsidies and so on. A government grant is
recognized only when the Group can comply with the conditions attached to the grant and the Group will
receive the grant.
If a government grant is in the form of a transfer of a monetary asset, it is measured at the amount received
or receivable. If a government grant is in the form of a non-monetary asset, it is measured at fair value. If
the fair value cannot be reliably determined, it is measured at a nominal amount.
Government grants are either related to assets or income.
(1) The basis of judgment and accounting method of the government grants related to assets
Government grants obtained for acquiring long-term assets are government grants related to assets. A
government grant related to an asset is offset with the cost of the relevant asset.
(2) The basis of judgment and accounting method of the government grants related to income
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 is recognized as deferred income, and recognized in profit or
loss over the periods in which the related costs are recognized. If the grant is a compensation for related
expenses or losses already incurred, the grant is recognized immediately in profit or loss for the period.
Government grants related to the Group’s normal course of business are offset with related costs and
expenses. Government grants related that are irrelevant with the Groups’s normal course of business are
included in non-operating gains.
26. Current and deferred tax
The income tax expenses include current income tax and deferred income tax.
26.1 Current income tax
At the balance sheet date, current income tax liabilities (or assets) for the current and prior periods are
measured at the amount expected to be paid (or recovered) according to the requirements of tax laws.
26.2 Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities
Temporary differences are differences between the carrying amounts of certain assets or liabilities and
their tax base.
All taxable temporary differences are recognized as related deferred tax liabilities. Deferred tax assets are
recognized to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the
deductible losses and tax credits can be utilized.

26.2 Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities - (cont’d)
For deductible losses and tax credits that can be carried forward, deferred tax assets are recognized to the
extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the deductible losses and
tax credits can be utilized. However, for deductible temporary differences associated with the initial
recognition of goodwill and the initial recognition of an asset or liability arising from a transaction (not a
business combination) that affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profits (or deductible losses) at
the time of transaction, no deferred tax asset or liability is recognized.
At the balance sheet date, deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates, according to tax
laws, that are expected to apply in the period in which the asset is realized or the liability is settled.
Deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences associated with investments in
subsidiaries and associates, and interests in joint ventures, except where the Group is able to control the
timing of the reversal of the temporary difference and it is probable that the temporary difference will not
reverse in the foreseeable future.
The Group may be required to pay additional tax in case of distribution of dividends by the Group
companies. This additional tax was not included in the financial statements, since the policy of the Group
is not to distribute in the foreseeable future a dividend which creates a significant additional tax liability.
Except for those current income tax and deferred tax charged to comprehensive income or shareholders’
equity in respect of transactions or events which have been directly recognized in other comprehensive
income or shareholders’ equity, and deferred tax recognized on business combinations, all other current
income tax and deferred tax items are charged to profit or loss in the current period.
At the balance sheet date, the carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed and reduced if it is no
longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available in the future to allow the benefit of deferred
tax assets to be utilized. Such reduction is reversed when it becomes probable that sufficient taxable profits
will be available.
26.3 Offset of income tax
When the Group has a legal right to settle current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis, and tax assets and
tax liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on either the same taxable entity
or different taxable entities which intend to realize the assets and liabilities simultaneously, current tax
assets and liabilities are offset and presented on a net basis.
When the Group has a legal right to settle deferred tax assets and liabilities on a net basis which relates to
income taxes levied by the same taxation authority, on either the same taxable entity or different taxable
entities which intend either to settle current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis or to realize the assets
and liabilities simultaneously, in each future period in which significant amounts of deferred tax assets or
liabilities are expected to be reversed, deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset and
presented on a net basis.

27. Leases
Lease is a contract, that conveys the right to use an asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration.
27.1 Determining whether an arrangement contains a lease
On the inception date of the lease, the Group determines whether the arrangement is a lease or contains a
lease, while assessing if it conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in
exchange for consideration. In its assessment of whether an arrangement conveys the right to control the
use of an identified asset, the Group assesses whether it has the following two rights throughout the lease
term:
(a) The right to obtain substantially all the economic benefits from use of the identified asset; and
(b) The right to direct the identified asset’s use.
An arrangement does not contain a lease if an asset is leased for a period of less than 12 months, or to lease of
asset with low economic value.
27.2 Initial recognition of leased assets and lease liabilities
Upon initial recognition, the Group recognizes a liability at the present value of future lease payments
(exclude certain variable lease payments, as detailed in note III 27.4), and concurrently the Group
recognizes a right-of-use asset at the same amount, adjusted for any prepaid lease payments paid at the
lease date or before, plus initial direct costs incurred in respect of the lease.
When the interest rate implicit in the lease is not readily determinable, the incremental borrowing rate of
the lessee is used.
The Group presents right-of-use assets separately from other assets in the balance sheet.
27.3 The lease term
The lease term is the non-cancellable period of the lease plus periods covered by an extension or
termination option, if it is reasonably certain that the lessee will exercise or not exercise the option,
respectively.
If there is a change in the lease term, or in the assessment of an option to purchase the underlying asset, the
Group remeasures the lease liability, on the basis of the revised lease term and the revised discount rate
and adjust the right-of-use assets accordingly.
27.4 Variable lease payments
Variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, are initially measured using the index or rate
existing at the commencement of the lease. When the cash flows of future lease payments change as the
result of a change in an index or a rate, the balance of the liability is adjusted with a correspondence
change in the right-of-use asset.
Other variable lease payments that are not included in the measurement of the lease liability are recognized
in profit or loss in the period in which the condition that triggers payment occurs.

27.5 Subsequent measurement
After lease commencement, a right-of-use asset is measured on a cost basis less accumulated depreciation
and accumulated impairment losses and is adjusted for re-measurements of the lease liability. The asset is
depreciated on a straight-line basis over the useful life or contractual lease period, whichever earlier.
The Group applies ASBE8 Impairment of Assets, to determine whether the right-of-use asset is impaired
and to account for any impairment loss identified.
A lease liability is measured after the lease commencement date at amortized cost using the effective
interest method.
28. Other significant accounting policies and accounting estimates
28.1 Hedging
The Group uses derivative financial instruments to hedge its risks related to foreign currency and inflation
risks and derivatives that are not used for hedging.
Hedge accounting
The Group makes an assessment, both at the inception of the hedge relationship as well as on an ongoing
basis, whether the hedge is expected to be effective in offsetting the changes in the fair value of cash flows
that can be attributed to the hedged risk during the period for which the hedge is designated.
An effective hedge exists when all of the below conditions are met:
There is an economic relationship between the hedged item and the hedging instrument;
the effect of credit risk does not dominate the value changes that result from that economic relationship;
the hedge ratio of the hedging relationship is the same as that resulting from the quantity of the hedged
item that the entity actually hedges and the quantity of the hedging instrument that the entity actually
uses to hedge that quantity of hedged item.
On the commencement date of the accounting hedge, the Group formally documents the relationship between
the hedging instrument and hedged item, including the Group’s risk management objectives and strategy in
executing the hedge transaction, together with the methods that will be used by the Group to assess the
effectiveness of the hedging relationship.
With respect to a cash-flow hedge, a forecasted transaction that constitutes a hedged item must be highly
probable and must give rise to exposure to changes in cash flows that could ultimately affect profit or loss.
Measurement of derivative financial instruments
Derivative financial instruments are recognized initially at fair value; attributable transaction costs are
recognized in profit or loss as incurred.

28.1 Hedging (cont’d)
Cash-flow hedges
Subsequent to the initial recognition, changes in the fair value of derivatives used to hedge cash flows are
recognized through other comprehensive income directly in a hedging reserve, with respect to the part of
the hedge that is effective. Regarding the portion of the hedge that is not effective, the changes in fair value
are recognized in profit and loss. The amount accumulated in the hedging reserve is reclassified to profit
and loss in the period in which the hedged cash flows impact profit or loss and is presented in the same line
item in the statement of income as the hedged item.
If the hedging instrument no longer meets the criteria for hedge accounting, expires or is sold, terminated
or exercised, the hedge accounting is discontinued. The cumulative gain or loss previously recognized in a
hedging reserve through other comprehensive income remains in the reserve until the forecasted
transaction occurs or is no longer expected to occur. If the forecasted transaction is no longer expected to
occur, the cumulative gain or loss in respect of the hedging instrument in the hedging reserve is reclassified
to profit or loss.
Economic hedge
Hedge accounting is not applied with respect to derivative instruments used to economically hedge
financial assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currency or CPI linked. Changes in the fair value of
such derivatives are recognized in profit or loss as gain (loss) from changes in fair value or investment
income.
Derivatives that are not used for hedging
Changes in the fair value of derivatives that are not used for hedging are recognized in profit or loss as gain
(loss) from changes in fair value or investment income.
28.2 Securitization of assets
Details of the securitization of asset agreements and accounting policy are set out in Note V.5 - Account

Inter-segment revenues are measured on the basis of actual transaction price for such transactions for
segment reporting. Segment accounting policies are consistent with those for the consolidated financial
statements.

The Group began to adopt revised Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises 21 Leases The accounting
(“New lease standard”), promulgated by Ministry of Finance in 2018, from January 1, 2019. The policy change
revised accounting policies for leases are presents in Note III.27 was approved
by the board of
For existing contracts at the initial application date, the Group elects not to directors
re-assess whether they are, or contain leases. Contracts that are signed or modified after the date meeting in
of initial application, the Group assess whether they are, or contain leases, according to the 28.4.2019
definition of lease in the new lease standards.
The Group adjusts all relevant financial accounts at the initial application date, for the
accumulated impact from the new lease standards, with no retrospective adjustments for
comparative numbers. The Group elected to apply the transitional provision of recognizing a
right-of-use asset at the same amount of the lease liability, adjusted for any prepaid or accrued
lease payments that were recognized as an asset or liability before the date of initial application,
and therefore, the implementation of the standard does not affect retained earnings balance at the
date of initial application.

For operating leases before the initial application date, the Group adopts the simplifying
approaches below for each lease:
- When determining lease liabilities, the same discount rate will be used for leases with similar
characteristics;
- For leases with options to extend or terminate, the Group determines the lease term based on
the actual exercise of options before the initial application date and other most updated
information;
- As a substitute of impairment test for right-of-use assets, the Group applies ASBE13
Contingencies, to assess if the contract containing a lease is a loss contract and adjust the
right of-use assets based on the loss incurred at the initial application date.
- For lease modifications before the initial application date, the Group makes accounting
treatments based on the final lease arrangements after the lease modification.
On January 1, 2019, as a result of the implementation of the standard, the lease liabilities
increased by 506,862 thousands RMB, and right-of-use assets by 506,862 thousands RMB. For
operating leases before the initial application date, the Group measures the lease liability at the
present value of the lease payments, with the incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate.
The borrowing rates are between 1.9% to 6.1%.
In preparation of 2019 interim financial report, the Group began to adopt the Notice on Revising

30. Significant accounting estimates and judgments
The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and
expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates. Estimates as well as underlying assumptions and
uncertainties involved are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized
in the period in which the estimate is revised and in any future periods affected.
Notes V.34, Note VIII, Note IX and Note XIII contain information about the assumptions and their risk
factors relating to post-employment benefits – defined benefit plans, fair value of financial instruments and
share-based payments. Other key sources of estimation uncertainty are as follows:
30.1 Impairment of trade receivables
As described in Note III.11, trade receivables are reviewed at each balance sheet date to determine whether
credit risk on a receivable has increased significantly since initial recognition, lifetime expected losses is
accrued for impairment provision3 Evidence of impairment includes observable data that comes to the
attention of the Group about loss events such as a significant decline in the solvency of an individual debtor
or the portfolio of debtors, and significant changes in the financial condition that have an adverse effect on
the debtor. If there is objective evidence of a recovery in the value of receivables which can be related
objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognized, the previously recognized
impairment loss is reversed3
30.2 Provision for impairment of inventories
As described in Note III.12, the net realisable value of inventories is under management’s regular review,
and as a result, provision for impairment of inventories is recognized for the excess of inventories’ carrying
amounts over their net realisable value. When making estimates of net realisable value, the Group takes
into consideration the use of inventories held on hand and other information available to form the
underlying assumptions, including the inventories’ market prices and the Group’s historical operating costs.
The actual selling price, the costs of completion and the costs necessary to make the sale and relevant taxes
may vary based on the changes in market conditions and product saleability, manufacturing technology and
the actual use of the inventories, resulting in the changes in provision for impairment of inventories. The
net profit or loss may then be affected in the period when the impairment of inventories is adjusted.

30.3 Impairment of assets other than inventories and financial assets
As described in Note III.20, if impairment indication exists, assets other than inventories and financial
assets are assessed at balance sheet date to determine whether the carrying amount exceeds the recoverable
amount of the assets. If any such case exists, an impairment loss is recognized.
The recoverable amount of an asset (or an asset group) is the greater of its fair value less costs to sell and
its present value of expected future cash flows. Since a market price of the asset (or the asset group) cannot
be obtained reliably, the fair value of the asset cannot be estimated reliably, the recoverable amount is
calculated based on the present value of estimated future cash flows. In assessing the present value of
estimated future cash flows, significant judgements are exercised over the asset’s production, selling price,
related operating expenses and discount rate to calculate the present value. All relevant materials which can
be obtained are used for estimation of the recoverable amount, including the estimation of the production,
selling price and related operating expenses based on reasonable and supportable assumptions.
30.4 Depreciation and amortisation of assets such as fixed assets and intangible assets
As described in Note III.15 and III.18, assets such as fixed assets and intangible assets are depreciated and
amortised over their useful lives after taking into account residual value. The estimated useful lives of the
assets are regularly reviewed to determine the depreciation and amortisation costs charged in each reporting
period. The useful lives of the assets are determined based on historical experience of similar assets and the
estimated technical changes. If there have been significant changes in the factors used to determine the
depreciation or amortisation, the rate of depreciation or amortisation is revised prospectively.
30.5 Income taxes and deferred income tax
The Company and Group companies are assessed for income tax purposes in a large number of
jurisdictions and, therefore, Company management is required to use considerable judgment in determining
the total provision for taxes and attribution of income.
When assessing whether there will be sufficient future taxable profits available against which the
deductible temporary differences can be utilised, the Group recognizes deferred tax assets to the extent that
it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the deductible temporary
differences can be utilised, using tax rates that would apply in the period when the asset would be utilised.
In determining the amount of deferred tax assets, the Group makes reasonable judgements and estimates
about the timing and amount of taxable profits to be utilised in the following periods, and of the tax rates
applicable in the future according to the existing tax policies and other relevant regulations. If the actual
timing and amount of future taxable profits or the actual applicable tax rates differ from the estimates made
by management, the differences affect the amount of tax expenses.

30.6 Contingent liabilities
When assessing the possible outcomes of legal claims filed against the Company and its investee
companies, the company positions are based on the opinions of their legal advisors. These assessments by
the legal advisors are based on their professional judgment, considering the stage of the proceedings and
the legal experience accumulated regarding the various matters. Since the results of the claims will be
determined by the courts, the outcomes could be different from the assessments.
In addition to the said claims, the Group is exposed to unasserted claims, inter alia, where there is doubt as
to interpretation of the agreement and/or legal provision and/or the manner of their implementation. This
exposure is brought to the Company’s attention in several ways, among others, by means of contacts made
to Company personnel. In assessing the risk deriving from the unasserted claims, the Company relies on
internal assessments by the parties dealing with these matters and by management, who weigh assessment
of the prospects of a claim being filed, and the chances of its success, if filed. The assessment is based on
experience gained with respect to the filing of claims and the analysis of the details of each claim. By their
nature, in view of the preliminary stage of the clarification of the legal claim, the actual outcome could be
different from the assessment made before the claim was filed.
30.7 Employee benefits
The Group’s liabilities for long-term post-employment and other benefits are calculated according to the
estimated future amount of the benefit to which the employee will be entitled in consideration for his
services during the current period and prior periods. The benefit is stated at present value net of the fair
value of the plan’s assets, based on actuarial assumptions. Changes in the actuarial assumptions could lead
to material changes in the book value of the liabilities and in the operating results.
30.8 Derivative financial instruments
The Group enters into transactions in derivative financial instruments for the purpose of hedging risks
related to foreign currency and inflationary risks. The derivatives are recorded at their fair value. The fair
value of derivative financial instruments is based on quotes from financial institutions. The reasonableness
of the quotes is examined by discounting the future cash flows, based on the terms and length of the period
to maturity of each contract, while using market interest rates of a similar instrument as of the measurement
date. Changes in the assumptions and the calculation model could lead to material changes in the fair value
of the assets and liabilities and in the results.

The maximum scope of the securitization is adjusted for the seasonal changes in the scope of the
Company’s activities, as follows: during the months March through June the maximum scope of the
securitization is $350 million (as of June 30, 2019 - 2,406 million RMB), during the months July through
September the maximum scope of the securitization is $300 million (as of June 30, 2019 - 2,062 million
RMB) and during the months October through February the maximum scope of the securitization is $250
million (as of June 30, 2019 - 1,719 million RMB). The proceeds received from those customers whose
debts were sold are used for acquisition of new trade receivables.
The price at which the trade receivables debts are sold is the amount of the debt sold less a discount
calculated based on, among other things, the expected length of the period between the date of sale of the
trade receivable and its anticipated repayment date. In the month following acquisition of the debt, the
Acquiring Company pays in cash most of the debt while the remainder is recorded as a subordinated note
that is paid after collection of the debt sold. If the customer does not pay its debt on the anticipated
repayment date, the Company bears interest up to the earlier of the date on which the debt is actually repaid
or the date on which debt collection is transferred to the insurance company (the actual costs are not
significant and are not expected to be significant).
The Acquiring Company bears 95% of the credit risk in respect of the customers whose debts were sold
and will not have a right of recourse to the Company in respect of the amounts paid in cash, except
regarding debts with respect to which a commercial dispute arises between the companies and their
customers, that is, a dispute the source of which is a claim of non-fulfillment of an obligation of the seller
in the supply agreement covering the product, such as: a failure to supply the correct product, a defect in
the product, delinquency in the supply date, and the like.
The Acquiring Company appointed a policy manager who will manage for it the credit risk involved with
the trade receivables sold, including an undertaking with an insurance company.
Pursuant to the Receivables Servicing Agreement, the Group subsidiaries handle collection of the trade
receivables as part of the Securitization Transaction for the benefit of the Acquiring Company.
As part of the agreement, Solutions is committed to comply with certain financial covenants, mainly the
ratio of the liabilities to equity and profit ratios. As of June 30, 2019, Solutions was in compliance with the
financial covenants.
The accounting treatment of sale of the trade receivables included as part of the Securitization Program is:
The Company is not controlling the Acquiring Company, therefore the Acquiring Company is not
consolidated in the financial statements.
The Company continues to recognize the trade receivables included in the Securitization Program based on
the extent of its continuing involvement therein.
In respect of the part of the trade receivables included in the securitization Program with respect to which
cash proceeds were not yet received, however regarding which the Company has transferred the credit risk,
a subordinated note is recorded.
The continuing involvement and subordinated note recorded in the balance sheet as part of the “other
receivables” line item.

The loss from sale of the trade receivables is recorded at the time of sale in the statement of income in the
“financing expenses” line item.
In the fourth quarter of 2016, a subsidiary in Brazil (hereinafter - “the subsidiary”) entered into a 3 years
securitization transaction with Rabobank Brazil for sale of trade receivables. Under the agreement, the
subsidiary will sell its trade receivables to a securitization structure (hereinafter - “the entity”) that was
formed for this purpose where the subsidiary has subordinate rights of 5% of the entity's capital.
The maximum securitization scope amounts to BRL 200 million (as of June 30, 2019 - 359 million RMB).
On the date of the sale of the trade receivables, the entity pays the full amount which is the debt amount
sold net of discount calculated, among others, over the expected length of the period between the date of
sale of the customer receivable and its anticipated repayment date.
The entity bears 90% of the credit risk in respect of the customers whose debts were sold such that the
entity has the right of recourse of 10% of the unpaid amount. The subsidiary should make a pledged
deposit equal to the amount the entity’s right of recourse.
The subsidiary handles the collection of receivables included in the securitization for the entity.
The subsidiary does not control the entity and therefore the entity is not consolidated in the group's
financial statements.
The subsidiary continues to recognize the trade receivables sold to the entity based on the extent of its
continuing involvement therein (10% right of recourse) and also recognizes an associated liability in the
same amount.
The loss from the sale of the trade receivables is recorded at the time of sale in the statement of income in
the “financing expenses” category.

Changes in goodwill
The Group identified two cash generating units ("CGU"), Crop Protection (Agro) and Other (Non Agro) units.
Operations are allocated into either one of the two cash generating units according to their business.
At the end of the year, or more frequently whether indicators for impairment exists, the Group estimates the
recoverable amount of Agro and Non Agro units, which are the cash generating units of the Group that contain
goodwill.
For the purpose of evaluating the groups Goodwill, the Group used a comparable trading multiple analysis in
order to benchmark each of its CGU’s valuation against that of the markets peer companies.
As of December 31, 2018 the fair value of the cash generating units to which the goodwill relates exceeds its
carrying amount.
As at the reporting period, there were no indicators for impairment.

In January 2019, the Company, through a subsidiary of Solutions, acquired Bonide Products Inc., a US
provider of pest-control solutions for the consumer Home & Garden use, allowing the Company to
bring its advanced technologies and differentiated portfolio of pest-control directly to the consumers.
Bonide was purchased for a consideration of approximately 830 million RMB. As of January 7, 2019
(hereinafter: “date of the business combination”), control has been achieved and the Group consolidates
the results of Bonide in its consolidated financial statements. Upon the consolidation of Bonide, the
identified tangible assets, identifiable intangible assets and identifiable liabilities were included in the
consolidated statement of financial position as of the date of the business combination at their fair value
based on the information held by the management of the Company and the management of Bonide on
the date close to the date of acquisition, and based, inter alia, on external consultants in this matter.
The initial accounting treatment for the acquisition of the operations, as presented in these interim
financial statements, is accounted for using provisional amounts (as this term is defined in ASBE 20
Business combination). Until the date of approval of the interim financial statements, the Group has not
yet completed the initial important treatment of Bonide's business combination, including the estimation
of the fair value of the acquired assets and the goodwill. Therefore, some of the fair value data are still
provisional and may be subject to changes affecting the data as included in these financial statements.

Notes to the Financial Statements
VIII. Risk Related to Financial Instruments
A. General
The Group has extensive international operations, and, therefore, it is exposed to credit risks, liquidity risks
and market risks (including currency risk, interest risk and other price risk). In order to reduce the exposure
to these risks, the Group uses financial derivatives instruments, including forward transactions and options
(hereinafter - “derivatives”).
Transactions in derivatives are undertaken with major financial institutions, and therefore, in the opinion of
Group Management the credit risk in respect thereof is low.
This note provides information on the Group’s exposure to each of the above risks, the Group’s objectives,
policies and processes regarding the measurement and management of the risk. Additional quantitative
disclosure is included throughout the consolidated financial statements.
The Board of Directors has overall responsibility for establishing and monitoring the framework of the
Group's risk management policy. The Finance Committee is responsible for establishing and monitoring the
Group's actual risk management policy. The Chief Financial Officer reports to the Finance Committee on a
regular basis regarding these risks.
The Group’s risk management policy, established to identify and analyze the risks facing the Group, to set
appropriate risk limits and controls, and to monitor risks and adherence to limits. The policy and methods for
managing the risks are reviewed regularly, in order to reflect changes in market conditions and the Group's
activities. The Group, through training, and management standards and procedures, aims to develop a
disciplined and constructive control environment in which all the employees understand their roles and
obligations.
B. Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Group if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument
fails to meet its contractual obligations, and derives mainly from trade receivables and other receivables as
well as from cash and deposits in financial institutions.
Accounts and other receivables
The Group’s revenues are derived from a large number of widely dispersed customers in many countries.
Customers include multi-national companies and manufacturing companies, as well as distributors,
agriculturists, agents and agrochemical manufacturers who purchase the products either as finished goods or
as intermediate products for their own requirements.
The Company entered into an agreement for the sale of trade receivables in a securitization transaction, for
details see note V.5e.
In April 2018, a two-years agreement with an international insurance company was renewed. The amount of
the insurance coverage was fixed at $150 million cumulative per year. The indemnification is limited to
about 90% of the debt.
The Group’s exposure to credit risk is influenced mainly by the personal characterization of each customer,
and by the demographic characterization of the customer’s base, including the risk of insolvency of the
industry and geographic region in which the customer operates. No single customer accounted for greater
than 5% of total accounts receivable.

The Company management has prescribed a credit policy, whereby the Company performs current ongoing
credit evaluations of existing and new customers, and every new customer is examined thoroughly regarding
the quality of his credit, before offering him the Group’s customary shipping and payment terms. The
examination made by the Group includes an outside credit rating, if any, and in many cases, receipt of
documents from an insurance company. A credit limit is prescribed for each customer, outstanding amount
of the accounts receivable balance. These limits are examined annually. Customers that do not meet the
Group’s criteria for credit quality may do business with the Group on the basis of a prepayment or against
furnishing of appropriate collateral.
Most of the Group’s customers have been doing business with it for many years. In monitoring customer
credit risk, the customers were grouped according to a characterization of their credit, based on geographical
location, industry, aging of receivables, maturity, and existence of past financial difficulties. Customers
defined as “high risk” are classified to the restricted customer list and are supervised by management. In
certain countries, mainly, Brazil, customers are required to provide property collaterals (such as agricultural
lands and equipment) against execution of the sales, the value of which is examined on a current ongoing
basis by the Company. In these countries, in a case of expected credit risk, the Company records a provision
for the amount of the debt less the value of the collaterals provided and acts to realize the collaterals.
The Group closely monitors the economic situation in Eastern Europe and South America where necessary it
operates to limit its exposure to customers in countries having significantly unstable economies.
The Group recognizes an impairment provision, which reflects its assessment regarding the credit risk of
account receivables. Other receivables and investments on a lifetime expected credit loss basis. See also
notes Ⅲ.10 and Ⅲ.11.
Cash and deposits in banks
The Company holds cash and deposits in banks with a high credit rating. These banks are also required to
comply with capital adequacy or maintain a level of security based on different situations.
Guarantees
The Company’s policy is to provide financial guarantees only to investee companies.
Aging of receivables and expected credit risk
Presented below is the aging of the past due trade receivables:

The company measure the provision for credit losses on a collective group basis, where receivables share
similar credit risk characteristics based on geographical locations. The examination for expected credit
losses is performed using model including aging analysis and historical loss experiences, and adjusted by the
observable factors reflecting current and expected future economic conditions.
When credit risk on a receivable has increased significantly since initial recognition, the group records
specific provision or general provision which is determined in countries in which there are large number of
customers with immaterial balances.
The Group has credit risk exposures for accounts receivables amounted to RMB 7,478,332 thousand relate to
category of "Lifetime expected credit losses (credit losses has not occurred)" and amounted to RMB 629,633
thousand related to category of "Lifetime expected credit losses (credit losses occurred)". The Group has
credit risk exposures for other receivables amounted to RMB 14,832 thousand related to category of
"Lifetime expected credit losses (credit losses occurred)". The credit risk exposures for all remaining balance
of financial assets at amortised cost and financial assets at FVTOCI are related to "12-month expected credit
losses".
C. Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will encounter difficulty in meeting its financial obligation when
they come due. The Group's approach to managing its liquidity risk is to assure, to the extent possible, an
adequate degree of liquidity for meeting its obligations timely, under ordinary conditions and under pressure
conditions, without sustaining unwanted losses or hurting its reputation.
The cash-flow forecast is determined both at the level of the various entities as well as of the consolidated
level. The Company examines the current forecasts of its liquidity requirements in order to ascertain that
there is sufficient cash for the operating needs, including the amounts required in order to comply with the
financial liabilities, while taking strict care that at all times there will be unused credit frameworks so that
the Company will not exceed the credit frameworks granted to it and the financial covenants with which it is
required to comply with. These forecasts take into consideration matters such as the Company’s plans to use
debt for financing its activities, compliance with required financial covenants, compliance with certain
liquidity ratios and compliance with external requirements such as laws or regulation.
The surplus cash held by the Group subsidiaries, which is not required for financing the current ongoing
operations, is invested in short-term interest-bearing investment channels.

D. Market risks
Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices, such as foreign exchange rates, CPI, interest rates and
prices of capital instruments, will affect the Group’s revenues or the value of its holdings in its financial
instruments. The objective of market risk management is to manage and monitor the exposure to market
risks within acceptable parameters, while optimizing the return.
During the ordinary course of business, the Group purchases and sells derivatives and assumes financial
liabilities for the purpose of managing market risks.
(1) CPI and foreign currency risks
Currency risk
The Group is exposed to currency risk from its sales, purchases, expenses and loans denominated in
currencies that differ from the Group’s functional currency. The main exposure is in Euro, Brazilian real,
USD and in NIS. In addition, there are smaller exposures to various currencies such as the British pound,
Polish zloty, Australian dollar, Indian rupee, Argentine peso, Canadian dollar, South African Rand, Ukraine
Hryunia, the Turkish lira and Chinese Yuan Renminbi.
The Group uses foreign currency derivatives – forward transactions and currency options – in order to hedge
the cash flows risk, which derive from existing monetary assets and liabilities and anticipated sales and
purchases, which may be affected by exchange rate fluctuations.

(1) CPI and foreign currency risks - (cont’d)
The Group hedged a part of the estimated currency exposure to anticipate sales and purchases for the
subsequent year. Likewise, the Group hedges most of its monetary assets and liabilities denominated in a
non- U.S. dollar currency. The Group uses foreign currency derivatives to hedge its currency risk, mostly
with maturity dates of less than one year from the reporting date.
Solutions debentures are linked to the NIS-CPI and, therefore, an increase in the NIS-CPI, as well as
changes in the NIS exchange rate, could cause significant exposure with respect to the subsidiary functional
currency – the U.S. dollar. As of the approval date of the financial statements, the subsidiary had hedged
most of its exposure deriving from issuance of the debentures, in options and forward contracts.

(2) Interest rate risks
The Group has exposure to changes in the variable interest rate. The Group has different assets and
liabilities in different countries which bear interest according to the economic environment in each
country. Most of the loans, other than the debentures, bear Dollar Libor interest. As a result, most of the
variable interest exposure of those loans is to the Libor interest. Due to market conditions, the variable
interest rates on cash are relatively low.
The Company prepares a quarterly summary of exposure to a change in the Libor interest rate. As at the
approval date of the financial statements, the Company had not hedged this exposure.

IX. Fair Value
The fair value of forward contracts on foreign currency is based on their listed market price, if available. In
the absence of market prices, the fair value is estimated based on the discounted difference between the stated
forward price in the contract and the current forward price for the residual period until redemption, using an
appropriate interest rate.
The fair value of foreign currency options is based on bank quotes. The reasonableness of the quotes is
evaluated through discounting future cash flow estimates, based on the conditions and duration to maturity of
each contract, using the market interest rates of a similar instrument at the measurement date and in
accordance with the Black & Scholes model.
1. Financial instruments measured at fair value for disclosure purposes only
The carrying amount of certain financial assets and liabilities, including cash at bank and on hand, bills and
accounts receivable, receivables financing, other receivables, derivatives financial assets, short-term loans,
bills and accounts payable and other payable, are the same or proximate to their fair value.

interest rate for similar investment having similar characteristics (Level 2).
b) The fair value of the long-term loans and others is based on a discounted future cash flows, using the acceptable
interest rate for similar loans having similar characteristics (Level 2).

3. Fair value hierarchy of financial instruments measured at fair value
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly
transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The table below presents an analysis of
financial instruments measured at fair value. The various levels have been defined as follows:
Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active market for identical instrument.
Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly.
Level 3: inputs that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).
The Company’s forward contracts and options are carried at fair value and are evaluated by observable inputs
and therefore are concurrent with the definition of level 2.

2. Commitments and Contingent Liabilities
On December 10, 2018 the 9th meeting of the 8th session of the Board of Directors of the Company resolved
to approve the extension of the engagement in annual liability insurance policies for directors, supervisors and
senior officers of the Company as approved by the 62nd meeting of the 7th session of Board of Directors and
the 4th interim Shareholders meeting, and to authorize the management to annually deal with all matters
relating to renewal/extension of the customary D&O liability insurance policies, with up to 20% flexibility in
the relevant terms of the original policy. On December 26, 2018 the 3rd interim Shareholders meeting
approved the above resolution.
Environmental protection
The manufacturing processes of the Company, and the products it produces and markets, entail environmental
risks that impact the environment. The Company invests substantial resources in order to comply with the
applicable environmental laws and attempts to prevent or minimize the environmental risks that could occur
as a result of its activities. To the best of the Company’s knowledge, at the balance sheet date, none of its
applicable permits and licenses with respect to environmental issues have been revoked.
At the end of January 2019, the Company voluntarily suspended operations at Sanonda’s old site in Jingzhou,
which is in the process of being relocated to a nearby advanced site, due to recording of higher than permitted
levels of wastewater compounds. The Company was subsequently instructed by the local government not to
resume operations before rectification. The Company rectified the discharge levels and at the beginning of
April 2019 resumed operations at the old site. Following the resumption, the Company is advancing the
gradual ramp-up of production. As the ramp-up of production proceeds, the site continues to remain under
inspection of the relevant authorities with whom the Company is working in close and constant collaboration.
Claims against subsidiaries
In the ordinary course of business, legal claims are filed against subsidiaries, including lawsuits, regarding
claims for patent infringement. Inter alia, from time to time, the Company, similar to other companies
operating in the plant protection industry, is exposed to class actions for large amounts, which it must defend
against while incurring considerable costs, even if these claims, from the start, have no basis. In the estimation
of the Company’s management, based, inter alia, on opinions of its legal counsel regarding the prospects of
the proceedings, the financial statements include appropriate provisions where necessary to cover the exposure
resulting from the claims.
Various immaterial claims have been filed against Group companies in courts throughout the world, in
immaterial amounts, for causes of action involving mainly employee-employer relations and various civil
claims, for which the Company did not record a provision in the financial statements. Furthermore, claims
were filed for product liability damages, for which the Company has appropriate insurance coverage, such that
the Company’s exposure in respect thereof is limited to the amount its deductible requirement or the amount
thereof does not exceed the deductible amount.
XII. Events subsequent to the balance sheet date
There are no events occur after the balance sheet date.
