2018 Annual Report of Qingdao Haier Co., Ltd.
2018 Industry Summary
In 2018, the global economy maintained its moderate growth, but the momentum of growth slowed
down gradually due to the intensification of trade protectionism, the continued interest rate increase of
the U.S. Federal Reserve, the intensification of capital outflows from emerging economies and the
continuing turbulence of financial markets. Given the complex and severe situation at home and abroad,
China's economic growth remained within a reasonable range, and its economic structure was constantly
optimized; its new momentum for development was growing rapidly; people's livelihood continued to
improve.
(I) Performance of domestic white goods industry:
In 2018, affected by the weakening of economic growth and the reduced growth of real estate sales,
the household appliances industry grew slightly, showing a trend of fast growth first and slow growth
later in the year, and the pressure of growth increased continuously in the third and fourth quarters.
According to the calculation by China Market Monitor Co., Ltd. (CMM), the market size of China's
household appliances industry (excluding 3C) in 2018 was RMB948 billion, representing an increase of
1.1% yoy; the growth rate of the industry had fallen significantly compared with that in 2017 at 14.1%.
Domestic market in 2018: (1) White goods industry: Domestic retail sales of each white goods
sub-industry grew slightly. ① The retail volume and the value of the home-use air-conditioner increased
by 3.0% and 5.6% respectively; ② For the refrigerator and washing machine market, replacement
demand became the primary driver with weak sales volume growth, while the average prices were
boosted by structural upgrading, resulted in retail sales maintaining a slight growth trend: retail volume
in the refrigerator industry decreased by 5.9%, but the retail value increased by 7.9%; retail volume and
retail value of washing machine increased by 0.1% and 5.4% respectively. (2) Kitchen and bathroom
industry: ① The water heater industry recorded a decrease of 3.2% in retail volume and a growth of
0.5% in retail value in 2018; ② In the kitchen appliance market, hoods and stoves recorded negative
growth of 7.9% and 7.1% respectively in terms of retail value.
The trend of consumption upgrade continued, and the characteristics of experience economy
and community economy appeared. ① Brand, quality, design and technology became the major
factors influencing the consumption decision. Consumers are willing to pay a premium for "good
products", and healthy, smart, artistic products with large capacity are increasingly favored. Innovation
in product categories promoted industry upgrading, and the average price continued to rise. High
value-added sub-categories such as duplex drum washing machines provided space for price increases.
According to CMM‘s offline observed data, the average retail price in the refrigerator industry in 2018
was RMB4,167, representing an increase of 9.9% yoy; the average retail price in the washing machine
industry was RMB2,956, representing an increase of 9.93% yoy. ② The trend of consumption
differentiation was obvious, and there were more and more young users. ③ The development of the
Internet of Things, Big Data, Artificial Intelligence and other technologies accelerated the
10 / 333
2018 Annual Report of Qingdao Haier Co., Ltd.
intellectualization trend. The interconnection of intelligent household appliances created a brand new,
convenient and smart experience. The requirement for household smart solutions has been constantly
raised and pushed the transformation of enterprises from manufacturing and marketing to providing a
smart life.
With increasing industry concentration, the leadership becomes a core asset. Haier as a leading
enterprise focusing on R&D innovation, brand building, and a long-term strategy, increased its market
share by relying on comprehensive advantages accumulated in long term market competition. In 2018,
new industrial innovation appeared in the household appliances industry, seeking breakthrough
opportunities in design, concept and price.
Offline channels showed a negative growth trend, while the proportion of online channels
continued to increase but the growth slowed down. The integration of online and offline channels has
progressed. E-commerce platform accelerated the deployment in rural markets. Traditional offline
channels were also trying to promote business using e-commerce resources. In this sense, channel
ecology has become diversified increasingly.
(II) Performance of overseas white goods industry: Due to the level of economic development
and market size in each region, performances differed across markets. ① In the U.S. market, the sales of
large appliances was basically the same in 2018 as in 2017 ② In the European market, refrigerators and
freezers industries benefited from the increase of the proportion of large-capacity refrigerators including
those with open doors and multi-doors; washing products maintained a small single-digit growth due to
the increasing proportion of large-capacity washing machines, heat pump dryers and intelligent
interconnection products. Sales of cookers and embedded products were basically unchanged compared
with 2017. ③ The Japanese market recorded a growth of 3% in 2018. ④ The Australian and New
Zealand market experienced a negative growth trend in the household appliances market, impacted by
the sustained decline in consumer spending and the weakening of the real estate industry. ⑤ In the South
Asia markets, affected by inflation, currency depreciation and other factors, Pakistan‘s economy
fluctuated and the growth of household appliances market slowed down; the Indian market was affected
by the depreciation of the rupee, rising costs and weakening demand, so growth was flat and lower than
expectation.
2019 Industry Outlook:
Domestic Market: In 2019, it is expected that the national economy will grow steadily at a low
rate; the real estate market will continue to grow slowly; and there will be no obvious favorable factors
for the external economic environment of the household appliances industry, but industrial restructuring
and consumption upgrading will continue. The market of household appliances is dominated by demand
of replacement, and the quality and improvement consumption demand will be further released.
According to AVC‘s prediction, the total retail sales of white goods (refrigerators, washing machines and
11 / 333
2018 Annual Report of Qingdao Haier Co., Ltd.
air conditioners) will reach RMB372.9 billion in 2019, representing a growth of 0.4% yoy. The kitchen
and bathroom market will still be at a turning point. It is estimated that the retail sales of kitchen
appliances and water heaters will reach RMB62.6 billion and RMB64.3 billion, respectively,
representing 2.4% and 1.9% yoy decrease, respectively. Industry concentration will increase, and the
advantages of leading enterprises will be further strengthened. Industrial structure upgrade, experience

Solar water heater: In response of the shortcomings of traditional water heaters, which adopted
heat exchange technology such as slow heating, the need of externally-mounted water tanks and
complex pipeline with large space occupation, we created the ALL-IN-ONE series to integrate the
collector and the heat storage unit into one, without using externally-mounted water tanks in order to
save the space. We advanced to localize the technology of GREEN one TEC Solarindustrie GmbH (the
world's largest flat solar heat collector manufacturer, an Austria-based subsidiary of the Company), and
introduced directly-heated flat-plate technology, which provides heating at twice the rate of traditional
solar water heaters. According to CMM offline data, the Company had retail sales and market shares

Analysis on reasons for the relatively large fluctuation of the indicators:
1) Income from change in fair value decreased by 123.64% yoy, which was mainly due to the
movement of fair value of hedge and lock exchange business caused by the fluctuation of
exchange rate.
2) Gain from disposal of assets increased by 1881.89% yoy, which was mainly due to disposal of
part of the plants and lands for the current period.
3) Credit impairment loss increased by 100% yoy, which was mainly due to the implementation of
New Financial Instrument Standards, whereby the expected credit loss from various financial
instruments originally credited to the asset impairment loss are adjusted to be credited to credit
impairment loss. And no restatement is needed for the same period of last year.
4) Non-operating income decreased by 31.23% yoy, which was mainly due to the relatively large
amount of one-off revenue for the same period of last year.
5) Other comprehensive income, net of tax increased by 252.22% yoy, which was mainly due to
the increase of translation difference of the financial statement in foreign currency caused by
the fluctuation of exchange rate as compared to the same period of last year.

2018 Annual Report of Qingdao Haier Co., Ltd.
(IV) Potential risks of the Company
√Applicable □Not Applicable
1. Risk of soft demand due to a slowdown in macro-economic growth. As white home appliance
products fall into the category of durable consumer electronic products, the income level and expectation
on future income growth will have an effect on the purchase of white home appliance. In the event of a
slowdown in the macro economic growth, which will decrease the purchasing power of consumers,
growth of the industry will be adversely affected. In addition, uncertainties from the real estate market
will have some negative effect on market demand, which will in turn have some indirect effect on
demand for home appliance products.
2. Price war risk caused by intensifying industry competition. The industry of white goods
products has intense competition with a high homogeneity of products. In recent years, the industry has
shown a trend of increasing concentration. In addition, the increase of industry inventory caused by
imbalance between supply and demand in individual sub-industries may lead to price wars and other
risks.
3. Risk of price fluctuation of raw materials. The Company's products and core components are
mainly made of metal raw materials such as steel, aluminum and copper, as well as plastics, foaming
materials and other bulk raw materials. The potential increase of prices of raw materials may pose a
certain pressure on the Company's production and operation.
4. Operating risk in overseas market. With the stable development of business globalization, the
Company has set up several production bases, research and development centers and marketing centers
in a number of countries around the world, leading to the continuous rise of overseas business. As the
overseas market is subject to the impact of local political and economic situation, legal system and
supervisory system, significant changes of such factors would pose risks to the Company‘s operation
locally. Under the influence of global trade protectionism, the emergence of a series of problems, such as
superpower games, trade frictions, tariff barriers, foreign exchange fluctuations, together with the
complexity of global politics and economy, will increase the international trade cost, labor cost and
foreign exchange transaction cost, as well as the uncertainty of the Company's overseas operations.
5. Risk of fluctuation in foreign currency exchange rate. With the deepening of the Company's
global layout, the import and export of Company's products involve the exchange of foreign currencies
such as US dollars, Euro and Japanese yen. If the exchange rate of relevant currencies fluctuates, the
Company's financial situation may be influenced to some extent and its financial costs may be increased.
6. Risk of policy changes. The industry of household appliances is closely related to the consumer
goods market and real estate market. The changes in macroeconomic policy, consumption investment
policy, real estate policy and other relevant laws and regulations will influence customer demands of
products, and may influence sales of the Company's products.

less than 30% of the net profit attributable to parent company of the Company in 2018. 100% dividend
of bonus scheme is paid in cash.

lattice model (二维点阵模型). The two-dimensional lattice (二维点阵) could reflect the strategy

competitiveness horizontally. The competitiveness of compensation was determined by such elements as
119 / 333
2018 Annual Report of Qingdao Haier Co., Ltd.
―support for strategy‖, ―competitiveness of market leading target‖ and ―emerging small companies,
leading platform‖. The senior management receives annual appraisal of the annual performance, which
was the key factor to performance bonus and development. On the one hand, the Company‘s ―salary paid
by users‖ overall compensation system of connecting sales force with their orders and remuneration
diversified the way of salary incentive of the management, leading to create user value and create
ecological value, and made the compensation mechanism for management more flexible on the other
hand, which drove the innovation of management.
Meanwhile, the Company‘s salary incentive system was further improved, the incentive and
restriction mechanism was strengthened and a mechanism that shares interests and risks with the
Company and the management was formulated in the principle of ―salary paid by users‖ by
implementing such initiatives as Core Employees Stock Ownership Scheme.

Co.,Ltd.,but does not include the financial statements and our audit reports.
Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any
form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the financial statements,our responsibility is to read the other information
and,in doing so,consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial
statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.

information,we are required to report that fact.We have nothing to report in this regard.
V. RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE MANAGEMENT AND THOSE CHARGED WITH
GOVERNANCE FOR THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The Management is responsible for the preparation of the financial statements that give a true and fair
view in accordance with the requirements as set out in the Accounting Standards for Business
Enterprises, and for such internal control as necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements
that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
127 / 333
2018 Annual Report of Qingdao Haier Co., Ltd.
In preparing the financial statements, the Management are responsible for assessing the ability of Haier

using the going concern basis of accounting unless the management either intends to liquidate Haier Co.,
Ltd. or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the financial reporting process of Haier
Co., Ltd..
VI. AUDITOR’S RESPONSIBILITIES FOR THE AUDIT OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are
free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an audit report that includes
our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit
conducted in accordance with auditing standards will always detect a material misstatement when it
exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the
aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the
basis of these financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with auditing standards, we exercise professional judgment and
maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also perform the following tasks:
(I) Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due
to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsible to those risks, and obtain audit
evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a
material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may
involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
(II) Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit
procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances.
(III) Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used by the Management and the
reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the Management.
(IV) Conclude on the appropriateness of the Management‘s use of the going concern basis of
accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to
events or conditions that may cause significant doubt on the ability of Haier Co., Ltd. to continue as a
going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required by the auditing
standards to draw attention in our audit report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or; if
such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence
obtained up to the date of our audit report. However, future events or conditions may cause Haier Co.,
Ltd. to cease to continue as a going concern.

2018 Annual Report of Qingdao Haier Co., Ltd.
(V) Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including
the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in
a manner that achieves fair presentation.
(VI) Obtain sufficient and appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the
entities or business activities within Haier Co., Ltd. to express an opinion on the financial statements. We
are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the group audit, and remain solely
responsible for our audit opinion.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned
scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in
internal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant
ethical requirements regarding independence, and communicate with them all relationships and other
matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related
safeguards.
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that
are of most significance in the audit of the financial statements of the current period and therefore
constitute the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our audit report unless law or regulation
precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that
a matter should not be communicated in our audit report because the adverse consequences of doing so
would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

2018 Annual Report of Qingdao Haier Co., Ltd.
5. Accounting methods of business combinations under common control and not under common
control
√Applicable □ Not Applicable
A business combination is a transaction or event that brings together two or more separate entities
into one reporting entity. Business combinations are classified into business combinations under
common control and business combinations not under common control.
(1) Business combinations under common control
A business combination under common control is a business combination in which all of the
combining entities are ultimately controlled by the same party or parties both before and after the
combination, and that control is not transitory. For business combination under common control, the
party that obtains the control over the other parties on the combination date is the acquirer, and other
parties involving in the business combination are the transferors. The combination date is the date on
which the acquiring party effectively obtains the control over the party being acquired.
In case the consideration for long-term equity investments formed in business combination under
common control is paid by ways of cash, transfer of non-cash assets or assumption of debts, the
Company will regard the share of carrying amounts of the net assets of the transferor in the ultimate
controller‘s consolidated financial statements obtained as the initial investment cost of long-term equity
investments as at the date of combination. For carrying value of net assets of the transferor is negative as
at the date of combination, investment cost of long-term equity investment is calculated as zero. In case
the transferor is controlled by the ultimate controller by the business combination under non-common
control before combination, the initial investment cost of the long-term equity investment of the acquirer
includes relevant goodwill. The Company should adjust the capital reserve (capital premium or share
premium) in accordance with the differences between initial investment cost of the long-term equity
investment and the cash paid, the non-cash assets transferred and the carrying value of liability assumed;
in case the balance of the capital reserve (capital premium or share premium) is insufficient for the
elimination, the surplus reserves and undistributed profits shall be used to dilute such expenses in order.
In case the consideration for the combination is paid by issuance of equity instruments, the aggregate
nominal value of shares issued will be deemed as the share capital. The difference between the initial
161 / 333
2018 Annual Report of Qingdao Haier Co., Ltd.
investment cost of long-term equity investments and aggregate nominal value of shares issued shall be
adjusted to capital reserve (capital premium or share premium), in case the capital reserve (capital
premium or share premium) is insufficient for the elimination, the surplus reserves and undistributed
profits shall be used to dilute such expenses in order.
Intermediary fees (such as audit, legal services and valuation consultancy) and other relevant
management fees incurred in the business combination by the acquirer are credited in profit or loss in the
period when they occurred. Trading expenses in direct relation to the issuance of equity instrument as
the consideration for the combination is written down to the capital reserve (share premium), where the
capital reserve (share premium) is insufficient, and to surplus reserves and undistributed profits in order.
Trading expenses in direct relation to the issuance of debt instrument as the consideration for the
combination is included in the initial recognition amount of the debt instrument.
For business combination under common control realized through several transactions step by step,
in case of a package transaction, all the transactions are accounted as one transaction that has acquired
the control; in case of not a package transaction, in the financial statement of parent company the capital
reserve ( share premium) is adjusted by the difference between the initial investment cost and the sum of
the carrying value of the original long-term equity investment and the book value of the new payment
consideration for further acquisition of shares with the share of acquirer's owner's equity on the date of
combination in case calculated on the proportion of shareholding on the date of combination as its initial
investment cost; where the capital reserve is insufficient, the retained earnings will be used to offset such
expenses.
In the consolidated financial statements, the long-term equity investment held by the combining
party before the date of acquiring control of the combined parties, and the profit and loss, the other
comprehensive income and changes in the other owners‘ equity recognized during the period between
the later of the date of acquisition and the date when the combining and the combined parties are under
the common control of the same party and the date of combination, are written down to the retained
earnings or profit or loss at the beginning of the comparative reporting period, respectively.
(2) Business combinations involving entities not under common control
162 / 333
2018 Annual Report of Qingdao Haier Co., Ltd.
A business combination not under common control is an business combination in which all of the
combining entities are not ultimately controlled by the same party or parties both before and after the
combination. For business combination not under common control, the party that obtains the control of
the other parties at the combination date is the acquirer; other parties involving in the business
combination are the transferors. The combination date is the date on which the acquirer effectively
obtains control of the transferors.
In business combination involving entities not under common control, the cost of combination shall
be the sum of the assets paid, obligations incurred or assumed and the fair value of the equity securities
issued by the acquirer for obtaining control of the transferor at the date of acquisition. Intermediary fees
(such as audit, legal services and valuation consultancy) and other relevant management fees incurred by
the acquirer for the purpose of business combination are credited in profit or loss in the period when they
occurred. Transaction fees for the equity instruments or debt instruments issued by the acquirer as
combination consideration is included in the initial recognition amount of such equity instruments or
debt instruments. Contingent consideration involved shall be recorded as the combination cost based on
its fair value on the acquisition date. Should any new or further evidence arise within 12 months after the
acquisition date and makes it necessary to adjust the contingent consideration on the acquisition date, the
goodwill arising from the business combination shall be amended accordingly.
The cost of combination and identifiable net assets obtained by the acquirer in an business
combination are measured at fair value on the acquisition date. Where the cost of the combination
exceeds the acquirer‘s interest in the fair value of the transferor‘s identifiable net assets, the difference is
recognized as goodwill; where the cost of combination is lower than the acquirer‘s interest in the fair
value of the transferor‘s identifiable net assets, the difference is initially recognized in profit or loss for
the current year after a review of computation for the identifiable assets, liabilities or fair value of
contingent liabilities and combination cost, and where the combination cost is still lower than the fair
value of the identifiable net assets of the transferor obtained during the course of combination, then the
difference is recorded in the profit and loss.
In business combination involving entities not under common control that is realized in phases
through multiple exchange transactions, in the Company individual financial statements, the sum of the
163 / 333
2018 Annual Report of Qingdao Haier Co., Ltd.
book value of the equity investment of the transferor held before the date of acquisition and the cost of
new investment on the date of acquisition are recognized as the initial investment cost of such
investment.
In the consolidated financial statement, the equity of the transferor held before the date of
acquisition is re-measured at the fair value on the date of acquisition, and the difference between the fair
value and book value is included in current investment income; where the equity of the transferor held
before the date of acquisition involves the other comprehensive income, such equity and relevant other
comprehensive income are transferred to current investment income on the date of acquisition, other
than the other comprehensive income that cannot be reclassified in the profit or loss.
The fair value on the acquisition date of equity interest in the transferor prior to the acquisition date
and the fair value of the considerations paid for the acquisition of the new equity on the acquisition date
are regarded as the combination costs of the Company, comparing with acquirer's share of the fair value
on the acquisition date of the transferor's net identifiable assets on the proportion of the shareholding on
the acquisition date to confirm the goodwill that required to be recognized on the acquisition date or the
amount that shall be included in the profit or loss.
6. Preparation method of consolidated financial statements
√Applicable □ Not Applicable
(1) Scope of consolidated financial statements
The Company incorporated all of its subsidiaries (including the separate entities controlled by the
Company) into the scope of consolidation financial statements, including the enterprises under the
Company‘s control, divisible part in the investees and structured entities.
(2) To unify the accounting policies, balance sheets date and accounting periods of the Company
and subsidiaries
When preparing consolidated financial statements, adjustments are made if subsidiaries‘ accounting
policies or accounting periods are different from that of the Company, in accordance with the
Company‘s accounting policies and accounting periods.
(3) Offset matters in the consolidated financial statements
164 / 333
2018 Annual Report of Qingdao Haier Co., Ltd.
The consolidated financial statements shall be prepared on the basis of the balance sheets of the
Company and subsidiaries, which offset the internal transactions incurred between the Company and
subsidiaries and among subsidiaries. The owner‘s equity of the subsidiaries not attributable to the
Company shall be presented as ―minority equity‖ under the owner‘s equity item in the consolidated
balance sheet.
The long-term equity investment of the Company held by the subsidiaries, deemed as treasury stock
of the corporate group as well as the reduction of owners‘ equity, shall be presented as ―Less: Treasury
stock‖ under the owner‘s equity item in the consolidated balance sheet.
(4) Accounting treatment of subsidiaries acquired from combination
For subsidiaries acquired from business combination under common control, the assets, liabilities,
operating results and cash flow of the subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements
from the beginning of the period in which the combination took place, as if the combination has taken
since the ultimate controller began its control. When preparing the consolidated financial statements, for
the subsidiaries acquired from business combination under non-common control, separate financial
statement will be adjusted on the basis of their fair values of the identifiable net assets on the date of
acquisition.
7. Classification of joint arrangement and accounting methods of joint operations
√Applicable □ Not Applicable
A joint arrangement refers to an arrangement jointly controlled by two or more parties. In
accordance with the Company‘s rights and obligations under a joint arrangement, the Company
classifies joint arrangements into joint operations and joint ventures.
Joint operations refer to a joint arrangement in which the Company is a party and is entitled to
relevant assets and obligations of this arrangement. The Company recognizes the following items in
relation to its interest in a joint operation, and accounts the same in accordance with relevant accounting
standards for business enterprises:
(1) recognize the assets held solely by the Company, and recognize assets held jointly by the
Company in appropriation to the share of the Company; (2) recognize the obligations assumed solely by

165 / 333
2018 Annual Report of Qingdao Haier Co., Ltd.
of the Company; (3) recognize revenue from disposal of joint operations in appropriation to the share of
the Company; (4) recognize revenue from disposal of joint operations in appropriation to the share of the
Company; (5) recognize fees solely occurred by the Company and recognize fees from joint operations

When the Company, as a joint venture, invests or sells assets to or purchase assets (the assets do not
constitute a business, the same below) from joint operations, the Company shall only recognize the part
of profit or lost from this transaction attributable to other parties of joint operations before these assets
are sold to a third party. In case of an impairment loss incurred on these assets which meets the
requirements as set out in ―Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises No. 8 – Asset Impairment‖,
the Company shall full recognize the amount of this loss in relation to its investment in or sale of assets
to joint operations or recognize the loss according to the Company‘s share of commitment in relation to
the its purchase of assets from joint operations.
Joint ventures refer to a joint arrangement during which the Company only is entitled to net assets
of this arrangement. Investment in joint venture is accounted for using the equity method according to
the accounting policies referred to under ―13 Long-term equity investment‖ of Note V.
8. Recognition standard for cash and cash equivalents
Cash recognized in the cash flow statements represents the cash on hand and deposits available for
payment of the Company at any time.
Cash equivalents recognized in the cash flow statements refer to short-term, highly liquid
investments held by the Company that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are
subject to an insignificant risk on change in value.
9. Foreign currency businesses and translation of foreign currency statements
√Applicable □ Not Applicable
(1) Foreign currency transactions
If foreign currency transactions occur, they are translated into the amount of functional currency by
applying the spot exchange rate at the transaction date.
Monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are translated into functional currencies at the
166 / 333
2018 Annual Report of Qingdao Haier Co., Ltd.
rates of exchange ruling at the balance sheet date. All foreign exchange difference are credited in the
profit or loss, except ①those arising from the funds denominated in foreign currency specially borrowed
for the establishment of the qualifying assets are treated based on the principal of capitalization of
borrowing costs; ②those arising from the other changes in the balance other than amortized cost of
available-for-sale monetary items denominated in foreign currency are recognized in the other
comprehensive income.
Non-monetary items in foreign currency measured at historical cost are translated using the spot
exchange rate prevailing on the date when transaction occurred and its functional currency shall remain
unchanged. Non-monetary items denominated in foreign currencies that are measured at fair value are
translated using the foreign exchange rate at the date the fair value is determined; the exchange
differences between the translated and original amounts of functional currencies are recognized in the
statement of profit or loss or other comprehensive income as changes in fair value (including changes in
exchange rate).
(2) Translation of foreign currency financial statements
If the functional currencies used as the bookkeeping base currency by the subsidiaries, joint
ventures and associates under the control of the Company are different from that of the Company, their
financial statements denominated in foreign currencies shall be translated to perform accounting and
prepare the consolidated financial statements.
The assets and liabilities of the balance sheet are translated using the spot exchange rate at the
balance sheet date; all items except for ―undistributed profits‖ of the owner‘s equity are translated at the
spot exchange rate on the transaction date. The revenue and expenses in the income statement are
translated using the approximate rate of the spot exchange rate on the transaction date. Differences
arising from the translation of foreign currency financial statements are presented as the ―other
comprehensive income‖ in the owner‘s equity of the balance sheet.
Foreign currency cash flow are translated using the approximate rate of the spot exchange rate on
the transaction date. The impact of exchange rate changes on cash amount is reflected separately in the
cash flow.
167 / 333
2018 Annual Report of Qingdao Haier Co., Ltd.
When disposing overseas operations, the translation difference related to the overseas operation
shall be transferred together or as the percentage of disposing the overseas operation to profit or loss in
the current period of disposal.
10. Financial instruments
√Applicable □ Not Applicable
A financial instrument refers to any contract that gives rise to a financial asset of one entity and a
financial liability or equity instrument of another entity. A financial asset or financial liability is
recognized when the Company becomes a party to the contract of a financial instrument.
(1) Financial assets

Financial assets are measured at fair value upon initial recognition. For financial assets measured at
fair value through profit and loss of the current period, related transaction costs are directly included in
profit and loss of the current period; for other types of financial assets, related transaction costs are
included in their initial recognized amounts. For the accounts receivable or bills receivable arising from
the sale of products or the provision of labor services that do not contain or consider the significant
financing components, the Company shall take the consideration amount entitled to be received as the
initial recognized amount.
a. Debt instrument
The debt instruments held by the Company refer to the tools that are in conformity with the
definition of financial liability from the perspective of the issuing party, which are measured in the
following three ways, respectively:
(a) Measured at amortized cost:
The Company's business model for managing such financial assets is: With the aim of obtaining
168 / 333
2018 Annual Report of Qingdao Haier Co., Ltd.
contractual cash flow, the contractual cash flow characteristics of such financial assets shall be
consistent with the basic lending arrangements, that is, the cash flow generated on a specific date is only
the payment for the principal and the interest based on the outstanding principal amount. For such
financial assets, the Company recognizes the interest income in accordance with the effective interest
method. Such financial assets mainly include cash and cash equivalents, bills receivable and accounts
receivable, other receivables, creditor's right investment and long-term receivables. The Company lists
the creditor's rights investments and long-term receivables matured within one year (including one year)
from the balance sheet date as non-current assets matured within one year; the creditor's rights
investments matured within one year (including one year) when being obtained are listed as other
current assets.
(b) Measured at fair value through other comprehensive income:
The Company's business mode for managing such financial assets is: With the aim of obtaining
contractual cash flow and selling the financial assets, the contractual cash flow characteristics of such
financial assets shall be consistent with the basic lending arrangements. Such financial assets are
measured at fair value through other comprehensive income, but impairment gains and losses, exchange
gains and losses, and interest income calculated by the effective interest method are included in profit
and loss of the current period. Such financial assets are listed as other creditor's rights investments. Other
creditor's rights investments matured within one year (including one year) from the balance sheet date
are listed as non-current assets matured within one year; other creditor's rights investments matured
within one year (including one year) when being obtained are listed as other current assets.
(c) Measured at fair value through profit or loss of the current period:
The Company lists its held debt instruments that are neither measured at amortized cost nor at fair
value through other comprehensive income as financial assets held for trading measured at fair value
through profit or loss of the current period. At the time of initial recognition, in order to eliminate or
significantly reduce accounting mismatch, the Company designated some financial assets as financial
assets measured at fair value through profit or loss of the current period. Investments that are matured
more than one year and are expected to be held for more than one year from the balance sheet date are
listed as other non-current financial assets.
b. Equity instruments
169 / 333
2018 Annual Report of Qingdao Haier Co., Ltd.
The Company lists equity instrument investments that have no control, joint control and significant
influence on itself as financial assets held for trading measured at fair value through profit or loss of the
current period; investments that are expected to be held for more than one year from the balance sheet
date are listed as other non-current financial assets.
In addition, the Company designated some non-trading equity instrument investments as financial
assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income, which are listed as other equity
instrument investments. The relevant dividends and interest income of such financial assets are included
in profit and loss of the current period.
2) Impairment
For financial assets measured at amortized cost and debt instrument investments measured at fair
value through other comprehensive income, contract assets and financial guarantee contracts, the
Company recognizes the loss provision based on the expected credit losses.
The Company considers reasonable and reliable information about past events, current conditions
and forecasts of future economic conditions, and takes the risk of default as a weight, and calculates the
probability-weighted amount of the present value of the difference between the cash flow receivable and
the cash flow expected to be received of the contract to confirm the expected credit losses.
On each balance sheet date, the Company measures the expected credit losses of financial
instruments in different phases. If the credit risk has not increased significantly since the initial
recognition, the financial instruments are in the first phase. The Company measures the loss provision
according to the expected credit losses in the next 12 months; if credit risk has increased significantly
but credit impairment has not yet occurred since the initial recognition, the financial instruments are in
the second phase. The Company measures the loss provision according to the expected credit losses of
the instruments during the entire duration; if credit impairment has occurred since the initial recognition,
the financial instruments are in the third phase. The Company measures the loss provision according to
the expected credit losses of the instruments during the entire duration.
For financial instruments with lower credit risk on the balance sheet date, the Company measures
the loss provision according to the expected credit losses in the next 12 months, assuming that its credit
risk has not increased significantly since the initial recognition.
For financial instruments in the first phase and second phase and financial instruments with
170 / 333
2018 Annual Report of Qingdao Haier Co., Ltd.
relatively lower credit risk, the Company calculates interest income based on their book balance before
the deduction of provisions and effective interest rate. For financial instruments in the third phase, the
Company calculates interest income based on their amortized cost after the impairment provision has
been deducted from the book balance and effective interest rate.
For bills receivable, accounts receivable and contractual assets, whether there exist significant
financing components, the Company measures loss provision based on expected credit loss over the
entire duration.
The Company classifies accounts receivable into groups on the basis of shared credit risk
characteristics, and calculates the expected credit losses on groups, the bases of group determination are
as follows:
For each group of bills receivable, the Company applies exposure at default and expected credit
losses rate over the entire duration to calculate the expected credit losses by taking into account the
historical credit losses experience, the existing conditions and forecast of future economic conditions.
For each group of accounts receivable, the Company makes the comparison of expected credit
losses rates of accounts receivable in overdue days and over the entire duration to calculate the expected
credit losses by taking into account the historical credit losses experience, the existing conditions and
forecast of future economic conditions.
For each group of other accounts receivable, the Company applies exposure at default and expected
credit losses rate within the next 12 months or over the entire duration to calculate the expected credit
losses by taking into account the historical credit losses experience, the existing conditions and forecast
of future economic conditions.
The Company recognizes the loss impairment provision or reversed in profit or loss of the current
period. For held debt instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income, the Company
recognizes loss/gain on impairment in profit or loss of the current period, and adjusts other
comprehensive income at the same time.
3) Derecognition
A financial asset is derecognized when any of the below criteria is met: a. the contractual rights to
receive the cash flow from the financial asset have been transferred; b. the financial asset has been
transferred and the Company transfers substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the
171 / 333
2018 Annual Report of Qingdao Haier Co., Ltd.
financial asset to the transferee; c. the financial asset has been transferred and the Company has not
retained control of the financial asset, although the Company neither transfers nor retains substantially
all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset.
On de-recognition of other equity instruments investment, the difference between the book balance
and the sum of the consideration received and any cumulative profit or loss of fair value that had been
recognized in other comprehensive income is recognized in the retained earnings. On de-recognition of
other financial assets, the difference between the book balance and the sum of the consideration received
and any cumulative profit or loss of fair value that had been recognized in other comprehensive income
is recognized in the profit and loss of the current period.
(2) Financial liabilities
Financial liabilities are classified as financial liabilities measured at amortized cost and financial
liabilities at fair value through profit and loss of the current period at initial recognition.
The financial liabilities of the Company are financial liabilities measured at amortized cost,
including bills payable, accounts payable, other payables, borrowings, bonds payable, etc. Such financial
liabilities are recognized initially at fair value less transaction costs and subsequently measured using the
effective interest method. Financial liabilities with a maturity of less than one year (including one year)
are listed as current liabilities: those with maturity of more than one year but are mature within one year
from the balance sheet date (including one year) are listed as non-current liabilities due within one year;
the rest are presented as non-current liabilities.
When all or partial current obligations of financial liabilities have been discharged, such financial
liabilities or the part with obligations discharged are derecognized by the Company. The difference
between the carrying amount of a financial liability de-recognized and the consideration paid is
recognized in the profit and loss of the current period.
(3) Determination of fair value of financial instruments
The fair value of a financial instrument that is traded in an active market is determined at the quoted
price in the active market. The fair value of a financial instrument that is not traded in an active market is
determined by using a valuation technique. During the valuation, the Company adopts an applicable
valuation technique under current conditions and there are enough available data and other information
to support. Those inputs should be consistent with the inputs a market participant would use when
172 / 333
2018 Annual Report of Qingdao Haier Co., Ltd.
pricing the asset or liability, and the Company should maximize the use of relevant observable inputs.
When related observable inputs can‘t be acquired or are not feasible to be acquired, then use
unobservable inputs.
(4) Significant accounting estimates and judgments
1) Significant accounting estimates and key assumptions
Measurement of expected credit loss
The Company applies exposure at default and expected credit loss rate to calculate expected credit
loss, and determines expected credit loss rate based on probability of default and loss given default. For
the determination of expected credit loss rate, the Company applies data including internal historical
credit losses experience, and adjusts historical data taking account current conditions and
forward-looking information. Regarding forward-looking information, indicators used by the Company
include economic downturn risk, growth in expected unemployment rate, changes in external market
environment, technology environment and customer status. The Company monitors and reviews
assumptions related to the calculation of expected credit loss on a regular basis. No major change
occurred in the above-mentioned estimate techniques and key assumptions in 2018.
②Critical judgments on application of accounting policies
a. Classification of financial assets
On classification of financial assets, critical judgments considered by the Company include the
business mode, an analysis of contractual cash flow characteristics and others.
From the dimension of financial asset portfolio, the Company determines the business mode of
financial asset management. Considerations cover assessments, reporting methods of financial asset
performance to key management personnel, risks impacting financial asset performance and relevant
management methods, as well as methods of relevant business management personnel receiving
remuneration.
In assessing the consistency between contractual cash flow of financial assets and the basic lending
arrangements, the Company makes the following major judgments: Whether the time distribution or
amount of the principal changes during the duration of the financial assets due to prepayment, etc; and
whether the interest includes considerations for the currency time value, credit risk, as well as other
basic borrowing risks, costs and profits. For example, whether the prepayment amount merely reflects
173 / 333
2018 Annual Report of Qingdao Haier Co., Ltd.
the principal unpaid and interest incurred by the principal unpaid, as well as reasonable compensation
paid due to premature termination of contracts.
b. Judgment that credit risk increases significantly
The main standards for the Company to judge significant increase in credit risk are that overdue
days are more than 30 days, or that significant changes occur in one or more of the following indicators:
Business environment of debtors, internal and external credit rating, actual or expected business
performance, value of collaterals or significant drop in credit rating of guarantors.
The main standards for the Company to judge incurred credit impairment are that overdue days are
more than 90 days (i.e. default occurred), or that one or more of the following conditions are met: a
debtor is under significant financial difficulty; other ongoing debt restructuring or high possibility of
bankruptcy.
11. Inventories
√Applicable □ Not Applicable
(1) Classification of inventories:
Inventories refer to the finished goods or commodities held for sale in daily activities, goods in
progress in the production process, consumed materials and supplies in the production process or
providing services of the Company, which mainly include raw materials, revolving materials, entrusted
processed materials, wrap page, low-cost consumables, goods in progress, self-made semi-finished
goods, finished goods (merchandise inventory) and engineering construction, etc.
(2) Measurement of inventories transferred out
At delivery, inventories are accounted using the weighted average method
(3) Provision for inventory impairment
At balance sheet date, inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value.
The net realizable value of inventories (including finished products, merchandize and materials for
sale) that can be sold directly is determined using the estimated saleable price of such inventory
deducted by the cost of sales and relevant taxation. The net realizable value of materials in inventory that
are held for production is determined using the estimated saleable price of the finished product deducted
by the cost to completion, estimated cost of sales and relevant taxation. The net realizable value of
174 / 333
2018 Annual Report of Qingdao Haier Co., Ltd.
inventory held for performance of sales contract or labor service contract is determined based on the
contractual price; in case the amount of inventory held by the enterprise exceeds the contractual amount,
the net realizable value of the excess portion of inventory is calculated using the normal saleable price.
Provision for impairment of inventories is made for individual inventory.
For items of inventories that is produced and marketed in the same geographical area and with the
same or similar end uses or purposes, which cannot be practicable evaluated separately from other items,
cost and net realizable value of inventories may be determined on an aggregate basis. For large quantity
and low value items of inventories, cost and net realizable value of inventories may be determined on
types of inventories.
Provision for impairment of inventories is made and recognized as profit or loss when the cost is
higher than the net realizable value on the balance sheet date. If the factors that give rise to the provision
in prior years are not in effect in current year, provision would be reversed within the impaired cost, and
recognized in the profit or loss.
(4) Inventory system
The Company adopts perpetual inventory system.
(5) Amortization of low-value consumables and packaging
Low-value consumables and packages of the Company are amortized by one-time write-off.
12. Long-term equity investments
√Applicable □ Not Applicable
Long-term equity investments in this section refer to equity investments held by the Company that
give it control, joint control or significant influence over the investee. Long-term equity investments
where the Company does not exercise control, joint control or significant influence over the investee are
accounted for as available-for-sale financial assets.
(1) Recognition of initial cost of investment
①For long-term equity investment obtained from business consolidation under common control, the
initial cost is measured at the combining party‘s share of the carrying amount of the equity of the
combined party; for a long-term equity investment obtained from business consolidation under
non-common control, the initial cost is the consolidation cost at the date of acquisition;
175 / 333
2018 Annual Report of Qingdao Haier Co., Ltd.
②For the long-term equity investment acquired in a manner other than business combination: the
initial investment cost of the long-term equity investment acquired by payment in cash shall be the total
purchase price; the initial investment cost of the long-term equity investment acquired by issuing equity
securities shall be the fair value of the equity securities issued；For long-term equity investment acquired
by debt restructuring, the initial investment cost shall be recognized in accordance with the requirements
under Accounting Standards for Enterprises No. 12 - Debt Restructuring. For long-term equity
investment acquired by the exchange of non-monetary assets, the initial investment cost shall be
recognized in accordance with relevant requirements under the Rules.
（2）Subsequent measurement and profit or loss recognition
① Cost method
Where the investor has a control over the investee, long-term equity investments are measured
using cost method. For long-term equity investments using cost method, unless increasing or reducing
the investment, the carrying value is unchanged. The Company‘s share of the profit distributions or cash
dividends declared by the investee are recognized as investment income.
② Equity method
Investor‘s long-term equity investments in associates and joint ventures are measured using equity
method. Where part of the equity investments of an investor in its associates are held indirectly through
venture investment institutions, common fund, trust companies or other similar entities including
investment linked insurance funds, such part of equity investments indirectly held by the investor shall
be measured at fair value through profit or loss according to relevant requirements of Accounting
Standards for Business Enterprises No.22—Recognition and measurement of Financial Instruments
regardless whether the above entities have significant influence on such part of equity investments,
while the remaining part shall be measured using equity method.
Under the equity method, where the initial investment cost of a long-term equity investment
exceeds the Company‘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 Company‘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.
176 / 333
2018 Annual Report of Qingdao Haier Co., Ltd.
For long-term equity investments accounted for using the equity method, the Company recognizes
the investment income and other comprehensive incomes according to its share of net profit or loss and
other comprehensive incomes of the investee, and the carrying amount of the long-term equity
investments shall be adjusted accordingly; the carrying amount of the investment is reduced by the
Company‘s share of the profit distribution or cash dividends declared by an investee; for changes in
owner‘s equity of the investee other than those arising from its net profit or loss, other comprehensive
income and profit distribution, the carrying amount of the long-term equity investment shall be adjusted
and recognized to capital reserve. When recognizing attributable share of the net profit and losses of the
investee, the net profit of the investee shall be recognized after adjustment on the ground of the fair
value of all identifiable assets of the investee when it obtains the investment. If the accounting policies
and accounting periods adopted by the investee are different from those adopted by the Company, an
adjustment shall be made to the financial statements of the investee in accordance with the accounting
policies and accounting periods of the Company and recognize the investment incomes and other
comprehensive incomes.
The Company‘s share of net losses of the investee shall be recognized to the extent that the carrying
amount of the long-term equity investment together with any long-term interests that in substance form
part of the investor‘s net investment in the investee are reduced to zero. If the Company has to assume
additional obligations, the estimated obligation assumed shall be provided for and charged to the profit
or loss as investment loss for the period. Where the investee is making net profits in subsequent periods,
the Company shall resume recognizing its share of profits after setting off against the share of
unrecognized losses.
(3) Change of the accounting methods for long-term equity investments
① Change of measurement at fair value to accounting under equity method: where the equity
investment held have no control, joint control or significant impact on the investee and that are
accounted according to the financial instrument recognition and measurement criteria can carry out
common control or place significant impact due to addition of investment which resulted in the increase
of shareholding, the investee shall plus the fair value of the equity investment originally held determined
in accordance with the Standards for Recognition and Measurement of Financial Instruments and the fair
value of the consideration payable for new investment as the initial investment cost accounted under
177 / 333
2018 Annual Report of Qingdao Haier Co., Ltd.
equity method when changing the equity method.
② Change of measurement at fair value or accounting under equity method to cost method: the
equity investment of the investee held by the investor with no control, joint control or significant impact
and accounted according to the financial instrument recognition and measurement criteria, or the
long-term equity investment in associates or joint venture originally held that can control the investee
due to addition of investment, shall be accounted in accordance with the long-term equity investment
formed by combination of enterprises.
③ Change of accounting under equity method to measurement at fair value: the long-term equity
investment originally held with common control or significant impact on the investee that cannot
conduct common control or significant impact on the investee due to the decrease of shareholding as a
result of factors such as partial disposal, shall be accounted in accordance with Standards for
Recognition and Measurement of Financial Instruments, and the difference between the fair value on the
date when the common control or significant impact is lost and the book value is included in profit or
loss in the relevant year.
④ Change of cost method to equity method: where control on the investee change to significant
impact or common control with other investors due to factors such as disposal of investment, the
long-term equity investment cost that ceased to be recognized shall first be carried forward on the
proportion of the investment disposed. Then comparing the cost of the remaining long-term equity
investment with the attributable fair value of the identifiable net assets of the investee at the original
investment calculated on proportion of the remaining shareholding, where the former larger than the
later, it belongs to the goodwill as showed in deciding the investment price and will not adjust the
carrying amount of the long-term equity investment; where the former less than the later, the retained
earnings will be adjusted along with the adjustment of the long-term equity investment.
(4) Basis of conclusion for common control and significant influence over the investee
① Joint control over an investee refers to activities which have a significant influence on return of
an arrangement could be decided only by mutual consent of the investing parties sharing the control,
which includes the sales and purchase of goods or services, management of financial assets, acquisition
and disposal of assets, research and development activities and financing activities, etc.
② Significant influence on the investee refers to significant influence over the investee exists when
178 / 333
2018 Annual Report of Qingdao Haier Co., Ltd.
holding more than 20% but less than 50% of the shares with voting rights or even if the holding is below
20%, there is still significant influence if any of the following conditions satisfied:
1）There is representative in the board of directors or similar governing body of the investee;
2）Participating in investee‘s policy setting process;
3）Assign management to investee;
4）The investee relies on the technology or technical information of the investor;
5）Major transactions with the investee.
(5) Impairment test and provision of impairment
At the balance sheet date, the Company reviews whether there is impairment indicator for the
long-term equity investments. When there is impairment indicator, the recoverable amount is determined
through impairment test and impairment is provided based on the difference between the recoverable
amount and the carrying value. Impairment loss is not reversed once provided.
The recoverable amount is the higher of net fair value of long-term equity investments on disposal
and the present value of estimated future cash flow.
(6) Disposal of long-term equity investments
For disposal of long-term equity investment, the difference between the considerations received and
the carrying amount of the disposed investment is recognized in profit or loss. For long-term equity
investment accounted for using the equity method, the part recognized in other comprehensive income is
accounted on pro rata basis upon disposal in the same way as the relevant assets or liabilities are
disposed of directly by the investee.
13. Investment properties
Investment properties of the Company include leased land use rights and leased buildings.
An investment property is initially measured at cost, and cost method is adopted for subsequent
measurement.
The buildings leased out of investment properties of the Company are depreciated over their useful
lives using the straight-line method. The specific measurement policy is the same as fixed assets. For
land use rights leased out or held for resale after appreciation in value, they are amortized over their
useful lives using the straight-line method. The specific measurement policy is the same as that of
179 / 333
2018 Annual Report of Qingdao Haier Co., Ltd.
intangible assets.
At the balance sheet date, the Company reviews whether there is impairment indicator for
investment properties. When there is impairment indicator, the recoverable amount is recognized
through an impairment test and impairment is provided based on the difference between the carrying
value and the recoverable amount. Impairment is not reversed in subsequent periods.
14. Fixed assets
（1）Recognition criteria
√Applicable □ Not Applicable
Fixed assets are tangible assets that are held for production of goods, provision of labor services,
leasing or administrative purposes, and have useful life more than one fiscal year, which are recognized
when the following conditions are met:
① economic benefits in relation to the fixed assets are very likely to flow into the enterprise;
② the cost of the fixed assets can be measured reliably.
（2）Classification and Depreciation method of fixed assets
The fixed assets of the Company can be divided into: buildings and constructions, production
equipment, transportation equipment and office equipment, etc. The straight-line method over useful
lives is used to measure depreciation. The useful lives and the expected net residual value of fixed assets
are determined according to the nature and usage of various fixed assets. At the end of each year, the
useful lives, expected net residual value and depreciation method of fixed assets are reviewed, and
adjusted if there is variance with original policies; The Company has made provisions for all the fixed
assets except for the fixed assets that have been fully depreciated and still in use.
Type of fixed assets Useful lives Expected net residual
Land ownership - value
-
Houses and buildings 8-40 years 0%-5%
Machinery equipment 4-20 years 0%-5%
Vehicles 5-10 years 0%-5%
Office equipment and others 3-10 years 0%-5%
（3） Test method and provision for impairment of fixed assets
180 / 333
2018 Annual Report of Qingdao Haier Co., Ltd.
At the balance sheet date, the Company reviews whether there is impairment indicator for the fixed
assets. When there is an impairment indicator, the recoverable amount is estimated and impairment is
provided based on the difference between the carrying value and the recoverable amount once the
impairment of an asset is recognized, it will not be reversed in the subsequent accounting period.
（4）Basis for Recognition, measurement and depreciation of fixed assets held under finance
lease
√Applicable □ Not Applicable
Basis for recognition of fixed assets held under finance lease: leases that transfer all the risks and
rewards related to the ownership of the relevant assets. The asset is recognized if one or more of the
following criteria is met: ①upon expiry of the lease term, the ownership of the leased asset is transferred
to the lessee; ②the lessee has the option to purchase the leased asset at a price expected to be
sufficiently lower than the fair value of the leased asset when the option is exercised and at the inception
of the lease, it is reasonably certain that the lessee will exercise the option; ③the lease term
approximates the useful life of the leased asset even if the ownership is not transferred; ④at the
inception of the lease, the present value of the minimum lease payments is substantially equivalent to the
fair value of the leased asset; ⑤the leased assets are of such a specialized nature that only the lessee can
use them without major modification.
Measurement of fixed assets held under finance lease: fixed assets held under finance lease are
initially recognized at the lower of fair value of the leased assets at the inception of lease and the present
value of minimum lease payments.
Subsequent measurement of fixed assets held under finance lease is accounted for using the
depreciation and impairment policies of owned fixed assets.
15. Construction in progress
√Applicable □ Not Applicable
(1) Types of construction in progress
Construction in progress for the Company is self-operated construction.
(2) Standard and date of transfer from construction in progress to fixed assets
181 / 333
2018 Annual Report of Qingdao Haier Co., Ltd.
The construction in progress of the Company is transferred to fixed assets when the project is
completed and ready for its intended use, which shall satisfy one of the following conditions:
① The construction of the fixed assets (including installation) has been completed or substantially
completed;
② The fixed asset has been used for trial operation and it is evidenced that the asset can operate
ordinarily or produce steadily qualified products; or the result of trial operation proves that it can operate
normally;
③ Further expenditure incurred for construction is very minimal or remote;
④ The constructed fixed asset reaches or almost reaches the design or the requirements of contract,
or complies with the design or the requirements of contract.
（3）Impairment test and provision of impairment of construction in progress
At the balance sheet date, the Company reviews the construction in progress to check whether there
is any sign of impairment and an impairment test is needed to recognize the recoverable amount when
there are signs that construction in progress may impair. The impairment loss should be the lower of the
carrying value and recoverable amount and impairment loss cannot be reversed in the following
accounting period if it has been provided.
The recoverable amount of construction in progress should base on the higher value between fair
value of asset less disposal expense and present value of estimated cash flow in the future.
16. Borrowing costs
√Applicable □ Not Applicable
（1）Recognition principles for borrowing cost capitalization
The Company‘s borrowing costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or production of a
qualifying asset are capitalized into the cost of relevant assets. Other borrowing costs are recognized as
expenses in the current profit and loss when incurred. Qualifying assets for capitalization include fixed
assets, investment properties and inventories that necessarily take a substantial period of time for
acquisition, construction or production to get ready for their intended use or sale.
（2）Computation of capitalized amount of borrowing costs
182 / 333
2018 Annual Report of Qingdao Haier Co., Ltd.
Capitalization period refers to the period from the commencement to the cessation of capitalization
of borrowing costs, excluding the periods in which capitalization of borrowing costs is suspended.
Capitalization interruption period: Capitalization of borrowing costs is suspended during periods in
which the acquisition or construction of a qualifying asset is interrupted abnormally and the interruption
lasts for more than 3 months.
Computation of capitalized amount of borrowing costs: ①Specific borrowings will be recorded
based on the actual interest expense incurred in the period of special borrowings less the interest income
from unutilized borrowings placed at banks or investment gain from temporary investment; ②Normal
borrowings utilized are calculated based on the weighted average of expenses of the aggregate asset
exceeding the asset expenses of the portion of special borrowings multiplied by the capitalization ratio
of the normal borrowings utilized. Capitalization ratio is calculated based on weighted average interest
rate of normal borrowings; ③For borrowings with discount or premium, the discount or premium was
amortized over the accounting periods borrowings to adjust the interest in every period using the
effective interest rates.
17. Intangible assets
Intangible assets are the identifiable non-monetary assets which have no physical shape and are
possessed or controlled by the Company.
（1）Valuation method of intangible assets
Intangible assets are initially recognized at costs. The actual costs of purchased intangible assets
include the consideration and relevant expenses paid. For intangible asset contributed by investors, the
value agreed in the investment contract or agreement is the actual cost of the intangible asset. But if the
value agreed in the investment contract or agreement is not a fair value, the fair value of the intangible
asset is regarded as the actual cost. The cost of a self-developed intangible asset is the total expenditure
incurred in bringing the asset to its intended use.
Subsequent measurement of intangible assets of the Company: ①Intangible assets with finite useful
lives are amortized on a straight-line basis; at the end of each year, the useful lives and amortization
policy are reviewed, and adjusted if there is any variance with original policies; ② Intangible assets with
indefinite useful lives are not amortized and the useful lives are reviewed at each year end date. If there
183 / 333
2018 Annual Report of Qingdao Haier Co., Ltd.
is objective evidence that the useful life of an intangible asset is finite, the intangible asset is amortized
using the straight-line method according to the estimated useful life.
（2）Criterion of determining indefinite useful life
The useful life of an intangible asset is indefinite if the period in which the future economic
benefits generated by the intangible asset could not be determined, or the useful life could not be
ascertained.
Criterion of determining intangible assets with indefinite useful lives: ①For intangible assets
derived from contractual rights or other legal rights and there are no explicit years of use stipulated in
the contract or laws and regulations; ②the period in which generating benefits for the Company still
could not be estimated after considering the industrial practice or relevant expert opinion.
At the end of each year, the useful lives of the intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are
reviewed. The assessment is performed by the departments that use the intangible assets, using the
down-to-top approach, to determine if there are changes to the determining basis of indefinite useful
lives.
（3）Methods for impairment test and provision for impairment of intangible assets
As at the balance sheet date, the Company reviews the intangible assets to check whether there is an
indication of impairment and an impairment test is needed to recognize the recoverable amount when
there are signs that intangible assets may impair. The impairment provision should be the lower of the
recoverable amount and carrying value and provision for impairment loss cannot be reversed in the
following accounting periods once it has been provided.
The recoverable amount of intangible assets should be based on the higher value between the net of
fair value of asset less disposal expense and present value of estimated cash flow of assets in the future.
（4）Basis for research and development stage for internal research and development project and
basis for capitalization of expenditure incurred in development stage
As for an internal research and development project, expenditure incurred in the research stage is
recognized in profit or loss in the period as incurred. Expenses incurred in the development stage are
recognized as intangible assets if all of the following conditions are met: ①the technical feasibility of
completing the intangible asset so that it will be available for use or for sale; ②the intention to complete
the intangible asset for use or for sale; ③how the intangible asset will generate economic benefits,
184 / 333
2018 Annual Report of Qingdao Haier Co., Ltd.
including there is evidence that the products produced by the intangible asset has a market or the
intangible asset itself has a market; if the intangible asset is for internal use, there is evidence that there
exists usage for the intangible asset; ④the availability of adequate technical, financial and other
resources to complete the development and the ability to use or sell the intangible asset; ⑤the
expenditures attributable to the development of the intangible asset could be reliably measured.
Basis for distinguishing research stage and development stage of an internal research and
development project: research stage refers to the activities carried out for the planned investigation and
search for obtaining new technology and knowledge, which has the characteristics of planning and
exploration; before commercial production or other uses, the application of achievements and other
knowledge obtained from the research stage in a plan or design to produce new or substantially
improved materials, equipment and products is regarded as development stage, which has the
characteristics of pinpointing and is very likely to form results.
All the expenditures on research and development which cannot be distinguished between research
stage and development stage are recognized in the profit or loss when incurred.
18. Impairment of long-term assets
√Applicable □ Not Applicable
Long-term equity investment, investment properties measured based on cost model, fixed assets,
construction in progress, intangible assets and other long-term assets are tested for impairment if there is
any indication that an asset may be impaired at the balance date. If the result of the impairment test
indicates that the recoverable amount of the asset is less than its carrying amount, a provision for
impairment will be made for the difference will be recorded in impairment loss. The recoverable amount
is the higher of the net of the asset‘s fair value less disposal costs and the present value of the future cash
flow expected to be derived from the asset. Provision for asset impairment is determined and recognized
on the individual asset basis. If it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual
asset, the recoverable amount of a group of assets to which the asset belongs is determined. A group of
assets is the smallest group of assets that can generate independent cash inflows.
Goodwill is tested for impairment at least at each year end.
In terms of impairment test of the goodwill, the carrying amount of the goodwill, arising from
185 / 333
2018 Annual Report of Qingdao Haier Co., Ltd.
business combination, shall be allocated to the related asset groups on reasonable basis since the
acquisition date, or to the related asset group portfolios if it is difficult to be allocated to the related asset
groups. When the carrying amount of the goodwill is allocated to the related asset groups or asset group
portfolios, it shall be allocated in the proportion of the fair value of each asset group or asset group
portfolio against the total fair value of related asset groups or asset group portfolios. If it is difficult to
measure the fair value reliably, it shall be allocated in the proportion of the carrying amount of each
asset group or asset group portfolio against the total carrying amount of related asset groups or asset
group portfolios.
When impairment test is made to the related asset groups or asset group portfolios including
goodwill, if there is an indication that the related asset groups or asset group portfolios are prone to
impair, the Company shall firstly test for impairment for the asset groups or asset group portfolios
excluding goodwill and calculate the recoverable amount and recognize the impairment loss accordingly
by comparing with its carrying amount. The Company shall then test for impairment for the asset groups
or asset group portfolios including goodwill and compare the carrying amount (including the carrying
amount of allocated goodwill) with its recoverable amount of related asset groups or asset group
portfolios. Provision for impairment loss shall be recognized when the recoverable amount of the related
asset groups or asset group portfolios is lower than its carrying amount.
Once the above impairment loss of assets is recognized, it shall not be reversed in any subsequent
accounting period.
19. Long-term prepaid expense
√Applicable □ Not Applicable
Long-term prepaid expenses are expenditures which have incurred but the benefit period is more
than one year (excluding one year). They are amortized evenly over the benefit period of each item of
expenses. If the long-term prepayments are no longer beneficial to the subsequent accounting periods,
the unamortized balance is then fully transferred to profit or loss for the period.

2018 Annual Report of Qingdao Haier Co., Ltd.
20. Employee benefits
Employee benefits are all forms of compensation and other relevant expenditure given by the
Company in exchange for services rendered by employees, including short-term employee benefits,
post-employment benefits, termination benefits and other long-term benefits.
(1). Accounting method for short-term employee benefits
√Applicable □ Not Applicable
Short-term employee benefits include short-term salaries, bonus, allowance, subsidies, staff‘s
welfare, housing provident fund, union funds and employee education funds, medical insurance fees,
injury insurance fees, maternity insurance fees, short-term paid absence, short-term profit-sharing plans,
etc. During the accounting period when employees render services, short-term benefits payable that
actually incurred shall be recognized as liabilities and credited into profit and loss or relevant assets cost
on an accrual basis for the benefit objects.
(2). Accounting method for post-employment benefits
√Applicable □ Not Applicable
Post-employment benefits mainly include the basic pension insurance, supplementary pension, etc.,
In accordance with the risks and obligations undertaken by the Company, the post-employment benefits
are classified as defined contribution plans and defined benefit pension plans. Defined contribution plans:
the Company shall recognize the sinking fund paid to individual entity on balance sheet date as a
liability in exchange of services from the employee in accounting period, and credited into profits or
losses or related assets costs in accordance with the benefit objects. Defined benefit plans: the cost of
providing benefits is determined using the projected unit credit method, with actuarial valuations being
carried out by independent actuary at the interim and the annual balance sheet date. Staffs' benefit costs
incurred by the defined benefit plan of the Group are categorized as follows: (1) service cost, include
current period service cost, past-service cost and settlement profit or loss. Current period service cost
means the increase of the present value of defined benefit obligation resulted from the current year
service offered by employee. Past-service cost means the increase or decrease of the present value of
defined benefit obligation resulted from the revision of the defined benefit plans related to the prior
187 / 333
2018 Annual Report of Qingdao Haier Co., Ltd.
period service offered by employee; (2) interest costs of defined benefit plans; (3) changes related to the
remeasurement of defined benefit plans liabilities. Unless other accounting standards require or permit to
charge the employee benefits into assets cost, the Company charges (1) and (2) above into profit or loss
and recognized (3) above as other comprehensive income without transferring to profit or loss in
subsequent accounting periods.
(3). Accounting method for termination benefits
√Applicable □ Not Applicable
Termination benefits: the indemnity proposal provided by the Company for employees for the
purpose of terminating labor relation with the employees before the expiry of the labor contract or
encouraging employees to accept downsizing voluntarily, when the following conditions are met,
recognize and at the same time credited into profit or loss the accrued liabilities arising from the
indemnity as a result of terminating labor relation with the employees: the Company has made a formal
plan for termination of employment relationship or has made an offer for voluntary redundancy which
will be implemented immediately; and the Company could not unilaterally withdraw from the
termination plan or the redundancy offer. Early retirement benefits will adopt same principles as the
termination benefit. The Company will credit the salaries and social benefits intend to pay for these early
retirees during the periods from the date of early retirement to the normal retirement date to profit or loss
for the year ended 2017 when recognition conditions for accrued liabilities are met.
(4). Accounting method for other long-term employee benefits
□Applicable √Not Applicable
21. Provision
√Applicable □ Not Applicable
（1）Criterion for determining of estimated liability
If an obligation in relation to contingencies such as external guarantees, discounting of
commercial acceptance bills, pending litigation or arbitration and product quality assurance is the
present obligation of the Company and the performance of such obligation is likely to lead
188 / 333
2018 Annual Report of Qingdao Haier Co., Ltd.
（2）Measurement of estimated liability
The best estimate of the expenditure from the performance of the current obligation is initially
recorded as accrued liability. When the necessary expenditures fall within a range and the
probability of each result in the range are identical, the best estimate is the median of the range; if
there are severable items involved, every possible result and relevant probability are taken into
account for the best estimation.
At the balance sheet date, the carrying value of estimated liabilities is reviewed. If there is
objective evidence that the carrying value could not reflect the current best estimate, the carrying
value is adjusted to the best estimated value.
22. Share-based payments
√Applicable □ Not Applicable
For equity-settled share-based payment transaction in return for services from employees, it
shall be measured at the fair value of equity instruments granted to the employees. For the payment
of such fair value that may only be exercised if services are fulfilled during the vesting period or the
specified performance is achieved, the fair value shall, based on the best estimate of the number of
exercisable instruments during the vesting period, be recognized in relevant costs or expenses in
straight-line method with the increase in the capital reserve accordingly.
The cash-settled share-based payment shall be measured at the fair value of liability assumed
by the Company, which is calculated and determined based on the shares or other equity
instruments. For the cash-settled share-based payment that may be exercised immediately after the
grant, the fair value of the liability assumed by the Company shall, on the date of the grant, be
recognized in relevant costs or expenses and the liabilities shall be increased accordingly. For
cash-settled share-based payment that may be exercised if services are fulfilled during the vesting
period or the specified performance is achieved, on each balance sheet date within the vesting
period, the services acquired in the year 2018 shall, based on the best estimate of exercise, be
recognized in relevant costs or expenses at the fair value of the liability assumed by the Company,
and the liabilities shall be adjusted correspondingly.
At each balanced sheet date and the settlement date prior to the settlement of liabilities, the fair
189 / 333
2018 Annual Report of Qingdao Haier Co., Ltd.
value of the liability is re-measured with its change consolidated in profit/loss.
When there is changes to the Company's share-based payment plans, if the modification
increases the fair value of the equity instruments granted, corresponding recognition of service
increase in accordance with the increase in the fair value of the equity instruments; if the
modification increases the number of equity instruments granted, the increase in fair value of the
equity instruments is recognized as a corresponding increase in service achieved. Increase in the fair
value of equity instruments refer to the difference between the fair values of the equity instrument
on the modified date before or after the modification. If the Company modifies the exercisable
conditions in such manner conductive to the employees, including the shortening of the vesting
period, change or cancellation of the performance conditions (rather than market conditions), the
Company shall consider the modified exercisable conditions upon the disposal of exercisable
conditions. If the modification reduces the total fair value of shares paid or the Company uses other
methods not conductive to employees to modify the terms and conditions of share-based payment
plans, it will continue to be accounted for the services obtained in the accounting treatment, as if the
change had not occurred, unless the Company cancelled some or all of the equity instruments
granted.
During the vesting period, if the Company cancel equity instruments granted will be treated as
accelerating the exercise of rights and the remaining vesting period should be recognized
immediately in the profit or loss, while at the same time recognize the capital reserve. Employees or
other parties can choose to meet non-vesting conditions, but for those that are not met in the vesting
period, the Company will treat it as cancellation of equity instruments granted.
23. Revenue
Revenue is the total inflow of economic benefits formed by the company and its subsidiaries
during day-to-day operations which might lead to increase of shareholders‘ equity and be irrelevant
to capital invested by shareholders.
The company and its subsidiaries performed performance obligations stated in the contract, i.e,
recognized revenue when the client obtains control right of relevant Goods or services.
Where the contract includes two or several performance obligations, during the starting date of
190 / 333
2018 Annual Report of Qingdao Haier Co., Ltd.
the contract, the company and its subsidiaries allocate transaction price to various single
performance obligation in accordance with the relevant proportion of separate selling price of goods
or services promised by various single performance obligation, and record revenue in accordance
with transaction price allocated to various single performance obligation.
Transaction price is the amount of consideration that the company and its subsidiaries are
expected to be entitled to collect due to transfer of goods and services transferred to the client,
excluding the amount collected for any third party. The transaction price confirmed by the company
and its subsidiaries does not exceed the amount of recognized revenue when relevant uncertainties
are eliminated and might not incur material carrying back. The amount that is expected to be
returned to the client is taken as liability of returned goods and is not recorded in transaction price.
When one of the following conditions is met, the company and its subsidiaries perform
performance obligations during a certain time horizon, otherwise, it belongs to fulfilling
performance obligations at a certain time point.
①The client obtains and consumes economic benefits brought by performance of the company
and its subsidiaries when the company and its subsidiaries perform the contract.
②The client is able to control goods under construction during the process of performance of
the company and its subsidiaries;
③Goods produced by the company and its subsidiaries during the process of performance
have the non-replaceable usages, and the company and its subsidiaries are entitled to collect the
amount for the cumulative completed and performed portion till now during the entire contractual
period.
For the performance obligations performed during a certain time horizon, the company and its
subsidiaries recognize revenue in accordance with the schedule of performance during such time
horizon. When the schedule of performance can‘t be reasonably recognized, where the costs that
have been incurred by the company and its subsidiaries are estimated to be compensated, revenue
shall be recognized in accordance with the amount of costs that has been incurred until the schedule
of performance can be reasonably confirmed.
For performance obligations performed during a certain time point, the company and its
subsidiaries recognize revenue at the time point when the client obtains control right of relevant
191 / 333
2018 Annual Report of Qingdao Haier Co., Ltd.
goods or services. When judging whether the client has obtained control right over goods or
services, the company and its subsidiaries will consider the following signs:
①The company and its subsidiaries enjoy the right of instant collection over such goods and
services;
②The company and its subsidiaries have transferred the material objects of such goods to the
client;
③ The company and its subsidiaries have transferred statutory ownership right of the goods or
major risks and remuneration of the ownership right to the client;
④ The client has accepted such Goods or service.
The right that the company and its subsidiaries are entitled to collect the consideration for
having transferred goods or services to the client (and such right depends on other factors other than
time lapse) is presented as contractual asset, and contractual asset is provisioned impairment on the
basis of expected credit losses. The right owned by and unconditionally collected from the client by
the company and its subsidiaries (only depend on time lapse) shall be presented as accounts
receivable. Obligations that the company and its subsidiaries have collected or shall collect
consideration from the client and shall transfer goods or services to the client are presented as
contractual obligations.
Specific accounting policies relating to major activities that the company and its subsidiaries
obtain revenue are described as follows:
（1）Sale of goods
Generally, contracts for sale of goods between the company and its clients only include
performance obligation of transferring the whole machine of home appliance. Generally, on the
basis of taking into account the following factors comprehensively, revenue is recognized based on
the time point of transfer of control right of goods: the right of instant collection for obtaining goods,
transfer of major risks and remuneration on ownership right of goods, transfer of statutory
ownership right of goods, transfer of assets of material objects of goods, the client‘s acceptance of
such goods.
（2）Construction contract income
Construction contract between the company and the client generally includes performance
192 / 333
2018 Annual Report of Qingdao Haier Co., Ltd.
obligations of construction and installation of commercial air-conditioner and smart home, because
the client is able to control goods under construction during the company‘s performance process,
the company takes them as performance obligations performed during a certain time horizon, and
recognizes revenue in accordance with the schedule of performance, and it is an exemption when
the schedule of performance can‘t be reasonably confirmed. The company confirms the schedule
of performance of services provided in accordance with the investment approach. When the
schedule of performance can‘t be reasonably confirmed, where the costs of the company that have
been incurred can be compensated, recognize revenue in accordance with the amount of costs that
has been incurred until the schedule of performance can be reasonably confirmed.
（3）Warranty obligations
According to contractual rules and regulations of laws, the company provides quality
assurance for goods sold and project constructed. For assurance class of quality assurance in order
to ensure the client that goods sold comply with existing standards, the company conducts
accounting treatment in accordance with estimated liabilities. For service class of quality assurance
in order to ensure the client to provide a separate service other than that the goods sold comply with
existing standards, the company takes it as a separate performance obligation, and allocates partial
transaction price to service class assurance in accordance with the relevant proportion of separate
selling price of quality assurance of goods and services, and recognizes revenue when the client
obtains control right over services. When assessing whether quality assurance provides a separate
service other than ensuring the client that the goods sold comply with existing standards, the
company shall consider factors such as whether such quality assurance is statutory requirements or
industrial practices, term of quality assurance and the nature of the company‘s promise for
performing tasks.
24. Government grants
√Applicable □ Not Applicable
（1）Types of government grants
Government grants refer to the monetary assets or non-monetary assets obtained by the Company
from the government for free, not including the investment made by the government as an owner. The
193 / 333
2018 Annual Report of Qingdao Haier Co., Ltd.
government grants are mainly divided into asset-related government grants and revenue-related
government grants.
（2）Accounting treatment of government grants
Asset-related government grants shall be recognized as deferred income in profit or loss for year
ended 31 December 2018 on an even basis over the useful life of the asset；government grants measured
at nominal amount shall be recorded directly in profit and loss for the year ended 31 December 2018.
Revenue-related government grants shall be treated as follows: ①those used to compensate relevant
expenses or losses to be incurred by the enterprise in subsequent periods are recognized as deferred
income and recorded in profit or loss for the year ended 31 December 2018 when such expenses are
recognized; ②those used to compensate relevant expenses or losses that have been incurred by the
enterprise are recorded directly in profit or loss for the year ended 31 December 2018.
（3）Basis for determination of asset-related government grant and revenue-related government
grant
If the government grant received by the Company is used for construction or other project that forms
a long-term asset, it is regarded as asset-related government grant.
If the government grant received by the Company is not asset-related, it is regarded as
revenue-related government grant.
Government grant received without clear objective shall be classified as asset-related government
grant or revenue-related government grant by:
① Government grant subject to a certain project shall be separated according to the proportion of
expenditure budget and capitalization budget, and the proportion shall be reviewed and modified if
necessary on the balance sheet date;
② Government grant shall be categorized as related to income if its usage is just subject to general
statement and no specific project in relevant document.
（4）Amortization method and determination of amortization period of deferred revenue related to
government grants
194 / 333
2018 Annual Report of Qingdao Haier Co., Ltd.
Asset-related government grant received by the Company is recognized as deferred revenue and is
evenly amortized to the profit or loss over the estimated useful life of the relevant asset starting from the
date the asset is available for use.
（5）Recognition of government grants
Government grant measured at the amounts receivable is recognized at the end of period when there
is clear evidence that the conditions set out in the financial subsidy policies and regulation are fulfilled
and the receipt of such financial subsidy is assured.
Other government grants other than those measured at the amount of receivables are recognized
upon actual receipt of such subsidies.
25. Deferred tax assets / deferred tax liabilities
√Applicable □ Not Applicable
Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities of the Company are recognized:
（1）Based on the difference between the carrying amount and the tax base amount of an asset or a
liability (items not recognized as assets and liabilities but their tax base is ascertained by the current tax
laws and regulation, the tax base is the difference), deferred income tax asset or deferred income
tax-liability is calculated using the applicable tax rate prevailing at the expected time of recovering the
relevant asset or discharging the relevant liability.
（2）Deferred tax asset is recognized to the extent that there is enough taxable income for the
utilization of the deductible temporary difference. At the balance sheet date, if there is sufficient
evidence that there would be enough taxable benefit for the utilization of the deductible temporary
difference, the deferred income tax asset not previously recognized is recognized in current period. If
there is no sufficient evidence that there would be enough future taxable income for the deduction of the
deferred income tax asset, the carrying value of the deferred income tax asset is reduced.
（3）Deferred tax liability is recognized for taxable temporary difference arising from investments
in subsidiaries and associated companies, unless the Company could control the reversal of the
temporary differences and the temporary differences would not be probably reversed in the foreseeable
future. For deductible temporary differences arising from investments in subsidiaries and associated
195 / 333
2018 Annual Report of Qingdao Haier Co., Ltd.
companies, deferred income tax asset is recognized if the temporary difference will be very probably
reversed in foreseeable future and there will be sufficient future taxable profit to deduct the deductible
temporary difference.
（4）No deferred tax liability is recognized for a temporary difference arising from the initial
recognition of goodwill. No deferred income tax asset or deferred income tax liability is recognized for
the temporary differences resulting from the initial recognition of assets or liabilities due to a transaction
other than a business combination, which affects neither accounting profit nor taxable profit (or
deductible loss). At the balance sheet date, deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are measured at
the tax rates that are estimated to apply to the period when the asset is realized or the liability is settled.
26. Lease
（1）Accounting method for operating lease
√Applicable □ Not Applicable
① Rental payments for asset rented are amortized on a straight-line basis over the lease term
(including rent-free periods) and credited into the current expenses. Initial direct costs that are
attributable to leasing transactions paid by the Company are credited to current expense.
When the lessor of the assets bears the lease related expenses which should be undertaken by the
Company, the Company shall deduct that part of expense from the rent and amortize the net amount over
the lease term and credited to current expense.
② Rental income received from assets rented out is amortized on a straight-line basis over the lease
term (including rent-free periods), and recognized as lease income. Initial direct costs involving leasing
transactions paid by the Company are credited into current expenses, in case the amount is significant, it
will be capitalized, and are credited into current revenue on the same basis as rental income recognized
over the lease term.
When the Company bears the lease related expenses which should be undertaken by the lessee, the
Company shall deduct that part of expense from the total rent income and allocate the rental payment
over the lease term.
（2）Accounting method for Finance lease
196 / 333
2018 Annual Report of Qingdao Haier Co., Ltd.
√Applicable □ Not Applicable
① When the Company is a lessee, the leased asset is recorded at the amounts equal to the lower of
the fair value of the leased asset and the present value of the minimum lease payments on the lease
beginning date and the long-term payables is recorded at the amounts of the minimum lease payments.
The difference between the recorded amount of the leased asset and the minimum lease payments is
accounted for as unrecognized finance charge.
The unrecognized finance charge is amortized using the effective interest method over the period of
the lease and accounted in finance charge. Initial direct costs incurred by the Company are credited in
value of leased assets.
② When the Company is a lessor, the difference between sum of the lease receivables and
unguaranteed residual value and its present value is accounted for as unrealized finance income and is
recognized as rental income over the period of receiving rental. Initial direct costs attributable to lease
transaction incurred by the Company shall be accounted in the initial measurement of finance lease
receivables and reduced the amount of recognized during period of the lease.
27. Other significant accounting policies and accounting estimations
√Applicable □ Not Applicable
（1） Asset securitization business
Some of the Company‘s receivables are securitized. The Company‘s underlying assets are trusted to
a special purpose entity which issues securities to investors. The Company serves as the asset service
supplier, providing services including asset maintenance and its daily management, formulation of the
annual asset disposal plan, formulation and implementation of the asset disposal plan, signing relevant
asset disposal agreements and periodic preparation of asset service report.
The Company evaluates the extent to which it transfers the risks and rewards of ownership of the
assets to the other entities and determines whether it retains control while applying the accounting policy
in respect of asset securitization.
① The financial asset is derecognized when the Company transfers substantially all the risks and
rewards of ownership of the financial asset;
197 / 333
2018 Annual Report of Qingdao Haier Co., Ltd.
② The financial asset is continued to recognize when the Company retains substantially all the
risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset;
③ When the Company neither transfers nor retains substantially all the risks and rewards of
ownership of the financial asset, the Company evaluates whether it retains control over the financial
asset. If the Company does not retain control, it derecognizes the financial asset and recognizes
separately as assets or liabilities any rights and obligations created or retained in the transfer. If the
Company retains control, it continues to recognize the financial asset to the extent of its continuing
involvement in the financial asset.
（2） Hedge accounting
Hedge refers to risk management activities that enterprises designate financial instruments as hedge
instruments in order to manage risk exposure caused by specific risks such as foreign exchange risk,
interest rate risk and credit risk, allow to expect changes in fair value or cash flow of hedge instruments
to offset all or partial changes in fair value or cash flow of hedge projects.
Hedged projects refer to projects which make enterprises face risks of changes in fair value or cash
flow and are designated as hedge objects and can be reliably measured.
A hedging instrument is a financial instrument designated by an enterprise for the purpose of
hedging, whose fair value or cash flow changes are expected to offset the change in the fair value or cash
flow of the hedged item.
The company continuously conducts assessment over whether hedge relationship complies with
requirements of hedge effectiveness on the starting date of hedge and follow-on period. Hedge
effectiveness refers to the extent that changes in fair value or cash flow of hedge instruments can offset
changes in fair value or cash flow of hedge projects caused by the risks of being hedged. The portion
that the changes in fair value or cash flow of hedge instruments is greater or less than changes in fair
value or cash flow is the ineffective portion of hedge.
（3） Explanations on significant accounting estimates
Judgments, estimates and assumptions shall be made to book value of the financial statements items,
which could not be measured accurately, due to the inherent uncertainties of operating activities, while
applying accounting policy. Such judgments, estimates and assumptions were based on the
198 / 333
2018 Annual Report of Qingdao Haier Co., Ltd.
management‘s historical experience and made after considered other various factors. These judgments,
estimates and assumptions will influence the amount of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities
presented in financial reports and the disclosure of contingent liabilities on the balance sheet date.
However, the actual results caused by the uncertainties of these estimations may be different from the
current estimates of the management, and thus cause a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of
assets and liabilities affected in the future. The judgments, estimates and assumptions mentioned above
shall be reviewed on a going concern basis. If the revisions to accounting estimates only affected for the
year ended 31 December 2017, relevant adjustment due to the effect shall be recognized for the year
ended 31 December 2017; if the revision affects both the current and future period, the effect shall be
recognized in the current and future period.
On the balance sheet date, the significant fields involving judgments, estimates and assumptions
about financial report items are listed as follows:
① Provision
Provision for product quality guarantee, estimated onerous contracts, and other estimates shall be
recognized in accordance with the terms of contract, current knowledge and historical experience. If the
contingent event has formed a practical obligation which probably results in outflow of economic
benefits from the Company, an estimated liability shall be recognized on the basis of the best estimate of
the expenditures to settle relevant practical obligation. Recognition and measurement of the estimated
liability significantly rely on the management‘s judgments. In the process of judgment, the Company
takes into consideration the assessment of relevant risks, uncertainties, time value of money and other
factors related to the contingent events. Among them, the Company will undertake estimated liabilities
with respect to the after-sales services provided for the return, maintenance and installation of goods.
When estimating liabilities, the Company has considered the maintenance information in recent years,
but the previous maintenance experiences may fail to reflect the future circumstances. Any increase or
decrease in this provision is likely to affect the profits and losses of the next year.
②Provision of expected credit losses
The company calculates the credit losses in accordance with breach risk exposure and expected
credit risk ratio, and confirms credit loss rate on the basis of breach possibilities and breach loss rate.
When confirming expected credit loss rate, the company uses data such as internal historical credit loss
199 / 333
2018 Annual Report of Qingdao Haier Co., Ltd.
experiences, and conducts adjustments over historical data in combination with current status and
forward-looking information. When considering forward-looking information, indexes used by the
company include risks such as economic downturn, growth of unemployment rate, external market
environment, technological environment and changes in client conditions. The company regularly
monitors and reviews relevant assumptions relating to calculation of expected credit losses. The
aforesaid techniques and key assumptions have not changed substantially in 2018.
③ Provision of inventories
Inventories are measured by lower of historical cost or net realizable value method according to the
accounting policies of inventories; for obsolete and unsalable inventories or whose costs are higher than
the net realizable, provision for impairment of inventories shall be incurred. The carrying value of
inventory shall be written down to the net realizable value on the basis of the salability of inventories
and the net realizable value. Inventory impairment requires the management‘s obtaining of solid
evidence, and their judgment and estimations made after considering the purpose of holding inventories
and the effect of events after the balanced sheet date and etc. The difference between the actual outcome
and the previously estimated outcome will influence the carrying value of inventories and the provision
or reversal of impairment of inventories during the period accounting estimates are changed.
④ Fair value of financial instruments
For financial instruments where there is no active market, the Company will determine the fair
value through a variety of valuation methods. Such valuation methods include discounted cash flow
analysis. In the valuation, the Company shall estimate the future cash flow, credit risk, market volatility
and correlation, and select the appropriate discount rate. Such related assumptions are uncertain, and
their changes may affect the fair value of financial instruments.
⑤Impairment of investment in other equity instruments
The company largely relies on judgments and assumptions of the management when determining
whether investments of other equity instruments are impaired to determine whether it is needed to
confirm impairment. During the process of conducting judgments or making assumptions, the company
shall assess the extent and duration period that the fair value of such investments is below the cost, as
well as financial conditions and short-term business prospects of the invested objects, including industry
conditions, technological reform, credit rating, breach rate and risks of counterparties.
200 / 333
2018 Annual Report of Qingdao Haier Co., Ltd.
⑥ Provision of long-term assets impairment
On the balance sheet date, the Company shall judge whether there is any possible indication of
impairment against non-current assets other than financial assets. The intangible assets with indefinite
useful life must be tested for impairment on an annual basis as well as when there is any indication of
impairment. Other non-current assets other than financial assets shall be tested for impairment when
there is an indication showing that the carrying value is not recoverable. Impairment occurs while the
carrying value of an asset or asset group is higher than the recoverable value, which is the higher of the
net of fair value deducted disposal expenses and the present value of expected future cash flow. The net
of fair value deducted by disposal expenditure is determined with reference to the price in the sale
agreement regarding analogous asset, and observable market price less the increase of cost that directly
attributable to the disposal of assets. Significant judgments regarding the production amount, sales price,
relevant operating costs of the assets (or assets group) and the discount rate used to calculate the present
value shall be made when determining the present value of future cash flow. Recoverable amount shall
be estimated by using all accessible relevant information, including production amount, sales price, and
relevant operating costs predictions made based on reasonable and supportive assumptions. The
Company shall test for goodwill impairment at least every year. This requires the Company to estimate
the present value of future cash flow for such assets groups or asset group portfolios allocated with
goodwill. When estimating the present value of future cash flow, the Company shall not only estimate
the future cash flow generated by such asset groups or asset group portfolios, and select the appropriate
discount rate to determine the present value of such future cash flow.
⑦ Depreciation and amortization
Investment properties, fixed assets and intangible assets are depreciated and amortized by a
straight-line approach over their estimated useful life by taking into consideration the residual value.
Useful life shall be periodically reviewed to determine the depreciation and amortization expenses for
each reporting period and be determined on the basis of historical experience regarding analogous assets
and the expected technological innovation. Significant changes to previous accounting estimates will
result in adjustments against depreciation and amortization expenses in the future periods.
⑧ Deferred tax assets
Deferred tax asset is recognized for all the uncompensated tax losses to the extent that there are
201 / 333
2018 Annual Report of Qingdao Haier Co., Ltd.
sufficient taxable income for the deduction of loss. In order to determine the amount of deferred tax
assets, the management of the Company needs to predict the timing and the amount of taxable profits in
the future by taking into account a large amount of judgment, as well as the strategy of tax planning.
⑨ Income tax
There are certain transactions the tax treatment and calculations undertaken during the ordinary
course of business for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain. Whether some items could be
presented before taxation shall be approved by relevant tax authorities. Where the final tax outcome of
these matters is different from the initial estimated amount, such differences will impact the current and
deferred tax in the period of confirmation.
⑩ Rebate accrual
The Company and its subsidiaries adopt the policy of rebate for all consumers. According to the
relevant conventions in the sales agreement, the review of specific transactions, the market situation, the
pipeline inventory levels and the historical experiences, the Company and its subsidiaries estimate and
accrue rebate on a regular basis with reference to the completion of agreed assessment indexes. Rebate
accrual involve the judgment and estimates of the management. In case of any significant changes in the
previous estimates, the difference above will have an impact on the rebate during the period when
significant changes occur.

Goodwill of FPA project is recognized from previous business combination not under common
control of FISHER&PAYKEL APPLIANCES HOLDINGS LIMITED through current period business
combination under common control of HAIER NEWZEALAND INVESTMENT HOLDING
COMPANY LIMITED.
In the case of a goodwill impairment test, the Group compares the carrying amount of the relevant
asset group or asset group combination (including goodwill) with its recoverable amount. If the
recoverable amount is less than the book value, corresponding difference will be recognized in profit or
loss. The recoverable amount of the asset group or asset group combination is based on a
management-approved 5-10 year budget, which is then estimated based on discounted cash flow method
with a fixed growth rate.
Key assumptions for discounted cash flow discount method for material goodwill at the end of the
period:
Items GEA
Forecast period growth rate 4.84%-5.50%
Forecast period profit rate 5.44%-6.18%
Forecast period 10years
