Annual Report 2022 Management Discussion and Analysis Credit Risk Credit risk arises from trade and other receivables, finance lease receivables, long-term receivables, structured deposits, derivative assets, loan receivable from associates and a joint venture, pledged bank deposit, cash and cash equivalents To manage the risk with respect to pledged bank deposit, cash and cash equivalents, structured deposits and derivative assets, the Group placed them in or entered into the contract with the banks with high reputation. The Group has policies in place to ensure that sales are made to reputable and creditworthy customers with an appropriate financial strength, credit history and an appropriate percentage of down payments. It also has other monitoring procedures to ensure that follow-up action is taken to recover overdue debts. In addition, the Group reviews regularly the authorization of credit limits to individual customers and recoverable amount of each individual trade receivables to ensure that adequate impairment losses are made for irrecoverable amounts. In respect of the business of manufacture of coal mining machinery, the Group generally receives advances in the form of notes 30% receivable or cash from customers (which approximate 30% of the contract 180 price) before delivery of its product and allows a credit period of 180 days to its 0 90 customers for the remaining contract price. In respect of auto parts, normally a credit period of 0 to 90 days is granted to its customers. During the year, the Group has endorsed and derecognized certain notes receivable for the settlement of trade and other payables with full recourse. In the opinion of the directors of the Company, the risk of the default in payment of the endorsed notes receivable is low because all endorsed notes receivable are issued and guaranteed by reputable PRC banks. The Group considers the probability of default upon initial recognition of asset and whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk on an ongoing basis throughout each reporting period. To assess whether there is a significant increase in credit risk, the Group compares the risk of default occurring on the asset as at the reporting date with the risk of default as at the date of initial 1 5 recognition. The expected credit loss rates are determined based on historical credit losses experienced from the past 1 to 5 years and are adjusted to reflect current and forward-looking information such as macroeconomic factors affecting the ability of the customers to settle the receivables. It considers available reasonable and supportive forwarding-looking information. 2022 35 Management Discussion and Analysis Interest Rate Risk The Group is exposed to cash flow interest rate risk in relation to variable- rate borrowings (see Note 32 for details). Currently, the Group does not have 32 a specific policy to manage its interest rate risk, but management will closely monitor interest rate exposures and consider hedging significant interest rate risk should the need arise.

We have nothing to report in this regard. When we read the remaining other information to be included in the annual report, if we conclude that there is a material misstatement therein, we are required to communicate the matter to the Audit Committee and take appropriate action considering our legal rights and obligations. Responsibilities of Directors and the Audit Committee for the Consolidated Financial Statements The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of the consolidated financial statements that give a true and fair view in accordance with IFRSs and the disclosure requirements of the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance, and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In preparing the consolidated financial statements, the directors are responsible for assessing the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so. The Audit Committee is responsible for overseeing the Group’s financial reporting process. 2022 115 Independent Auditor’s Report Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. We report our opinion solely to you, as a body, and for no other purpose. We do not assume responsibility towards or accept liability to any other person for the contents of this report. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with HKSAs 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 consolidated financial statements. As part of an audit in accordance with HKSAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also: Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive 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. Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Group’s internal control. Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the directors. Conclude on the appropriateness of the directors’ 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 cast significant doubt on the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the consolidated 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 auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to continue as a going concern. 116 Zhengzhou Coal Mining Machinery Group Co., Ltd.

We describe these matters in our auditor’s 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 report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

According to the “Acting-in-Concert Agreement” entered into by Hong Yi Investment and Henan Asset and the governance structure of Hong Yi Investment, Hong Yi Investment and Henan Asset have become the controlling shareholders of the Company, and the Company has no de facto controller. 2022 129 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements For the year ended 31 December 2022 2022 12 31 1 GENERAL INFORMATION (Continued) 1 On 4 June 2021, the Annual General Meeting of the Group adopted a 2021 6 4 restricted share incentive scheme (the “Scheme”) to grant and issue a total number of 42,300,000 A shares. After the completion of the 42,300,000 A grant registration of the restricted shares under the Scheme, the total 1,732,471,370 share capital of the Company increased from 1,732,471,370 Shares to 1,774,771,370 1,774,771,370 Shares. As a result, the aggregate shareholding of Hong Yi 19.99% Investment and Henan Asset Management Limited has been changed from 19.52% 19.99% to 19.52%. On 18 December 2021, the first vesting period of the share options 2021 12 18 2019 granted under the 2019 Option Incentive Scheme was due, and 301 participants with number of 4,722,300 shares were eligible for option 301 exercise in accordance with the relevant provisions of the Option Incentive 4,722,300 37 Scheme (Note 37). After the completion of the exercise of share options, 1,774,771,370 the total share capital of the Company increased from 1,774,771,370 1,779,493,670 shares to 1,779,493,670 shares. As a result, the aggregate shareholding 19.52% 19.47% of Hong Yi Investment and Henan Asset Management Limited has been changed from 19.52% to 19.47%. On 11 October 2022, due to the reasons, such as resignation, job transfer 2022 10 11 or position change of incentive employees under the Scheme (Note 38), the Company repurchased and cancelled 848,000 restricted A shares 848,000 A granted to certain employees. On 18 December 2022, the second vesting period of the share options 2022 12 18 2019 granted under the 2019 Option Incentive Scheme was due, and 292 participants with number of 4,491,300 shares were eligible for option 292 exercise in accordance with the relevant provisions of the Option Incentive 4,491,300 37 2022 12 Scheme (Note 37). As at 31 December 2022, the total outstanding shares 31 1,778,645,670 of the Company were 1,778,645,670 shares and additional 3,600,300 3,600,300 2019 shares were exercised under the 2019 Option Inventive Scheme but the 37 shares registration were not completed (Note 37). The respective addresses of the registered office and the principal place of business of the Company are disclosed in the corporate information section of the annual report. The Company and its subsidiaries (collectively the “Group”) are mainly engaged in manufacturing of coal mining machinery and auto parts. 130 Zhengzhou Coal Mining Machinery Group Co., Ltd. Annual Report 2022 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements For the year ended 31 December 2022 2022 12 31 2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES 2 The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated. The consolidated financial statements are for the Group consisting of the Company and its subsidiaries. 2.1 Basis of preparation 2.1 (i) Compliance with IFRSs (i) The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards 622 (“IFRSs”) and disclosure requirements of the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance Cap. 622 (“HKCO”). The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with IFRSs requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgment in the process of applying the Group’s accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgment or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the 4 consolidated financial statements are disclosed in Note 4 below. (ii) Historical cost convention (ii) The financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for the following: certain financial assets and liabilities (including derivative instruments) – measured at fair value, and defined benefit pension plans – plan assets measured at fair value. 2022 131 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements For the year ended 31 December 2022 2022 12 31 2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES 2 (Continued) 2.1 Basis of preparation (Continued) 2.1 (iii) New standards, amendments and annual improvements (iii) 2022 adopted by the Group in 2022 The Group has applied the following amendments for the first 2022 1 1 time for their annual reporting period commencing 1 January 2022: Property, Plant and Equipment: Proceeds before Intended Use – Amendments to IAS 16 16 Onerous Contracts – Cost of Fulfilling a Contract – Amendments to IAS 37 37 Reference to the Conceptual Framework – Amendments to IFRS 3 3 Covid-19 Related Rent Concessions beyond 30 June 2021 2021 6 30 – Amendment to IFRS 16 (March 2021), and 16 2021 3 Annual Improvements to IFRS Standards 2018-2020. 2018 2020 The standards, amendments and annual improvements listed 16 above are either currently not relevant to the Group or had no material impact on the Group’s financial statements for the current and prior financial years except for the Amendment to IAS 16 Property, Plant and Equipment. 16 The adoption of the Amendment to IAS 16 Property, Plant and Equipment has been applied retrospectively and comparative figures have been reclassified accordingly. It leads to the 135,483,000 reclassification of RMB135,483,000 from "research and development expenses" into "cost of sales" in the reporting 166,224,000 2021 p e r i o d a n d o f R M B166,224,000 f r o m " r e s e a r c h a n d development expenses" into "cost of sales" in 2021 annual financial report disclosed. 132 Zhengzhou Coal Mining Machinery Group Co., Ltd. Annual Report 2022 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements For the year ended 31 December 2022 2022 12 31 2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES 2 (Continued) 2.1 Basis of preparation (Continued) 2.1 (iii) New standards, amendments and annual improvements (iii) 2022 adopted by the Group in 2022 (Continued) The amendment to IAS 16 prohibits an entity from deducting 16 from the cost of an item of property, plant and equipment any proceeds received from selling items produced while the entity is preparing the asset for its intended use. The proceeds from selling such samples and the costs relating to items produced are now recognised in profit or loss. This amendment also clarifies that an entity is 'testing whether the asset is functioning properly' when it assesses the technical and physical performance of the asset. The financial performance of the asset is not relevant to this assessment. Entities must disclose separately the amount of proceeds and cost relating to items produced that are not an output of the entity's ordinary activities. (iv) Impact of new standard and amendments issued but not (iv) yet adopted by the Group Certain new accounting standard and amendments have 2022 been published but are not mandatory for 31 December 2022 12 31 reporting period and have not been early adopted by the Group. These new standards and amendments are not expected to have a material impact on the Group’s consolidated financial statements when they become effective. 2022 133 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements For the year ended 31 December 2022 2022 12 31 2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES 2 (Continued) 2.2 The principal accounting policies 2.2 Principles of consolidation and equity accounting (a) Subsidiaries (a) Subsidiaries are all entities (including structured entities) over which the Group has control. The Group controls an entity when the Group is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power to direct the activities of the entity. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group. They are deconsolidated from the date that control ceases. The acquisition method of accounting is used to account for business combinations by the Group. Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions between group companies are eliminated. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the transferred asset. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group. Non-controlling interests in the results and equity of subsidiaries are shown separately in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, statement of changes in equity and statement of financial position respectively. (b) Associates (b) Associates are all entities over which the Group has significant influence but not control or joint control. This is generally the case where the Group holds between 20% and 50% of the 20% voting rights. Investments in associates are accounted for using 50% the equity method of accounting, after initially being recognised at cost. 134 Zhengzhou Coal Mining Machinery Group Co., Ltd. Annual Report 2022 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements For the year ended 31 December 2022 2022 12 31 2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES 2 (Continued) 2.2 The principal accounting policies (Continued) 2.2 Principles of consolidation and equity accounting (Continued) (c) Joint arrangements (c) Under IFRS 11 Joint Arrangements, investments in joint 11 arrangements are classified as either joint operations or joint ventures. The classification depends on the contractual rights and obligations of each investor, rather than the legal structure of the joint arrangement. The Group has assessed the nature of its joint arrangements and determined them to be joint ventures. Interests in joint ventures are accounted for using the equity method, after initially being recognised at cost in the consolidated statement of financial position. (d) Equity accounting (d) Under the equity method of accounting, the investments are initially recognised at cost and adjusted thereafter to recognise the Group’s share of the post-acquisition profits or losses of the investee in profit or loss, and the Group’s share of movements in other comprehensive income of the investee in other comprehensive income. Dividends received or receivable from associates and joint ventures are recognised as a reduction in the carrying amount of the investment. Where the Group’s share of losses in an equity-accounted investment equals or exceeds its interest in the entity, including any other unsecured long-term receivables, the Group does not recognise further losses, unless it has incurred obligations or made payments on behalf of the other entity. Unrealised gains on transactions between the Group and its associates and joint ventures are eliminated to the extent of the Group’s interest in these entities. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the asset transferred. Accounting policies of equity accounted investees have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group. The carrying amount of equity-accounted investments is tested for impairment in accordance with the policy described in “Impairment of non-financial assets” below. 2022 135 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements For the year ended 31 December 2022 2022 12 31 2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES 2 (Continued) 2.2 The principal accounting policies (Continued) 2.2 Principles of consolidation and equity accounting (Continued) (e) Changes in ownership interests (e) The Group treats transactions with non-controlling interests that do not result in a loss of control as transactions with equity owners of the Group. A change in ownership interest results in an adjustment between the carrying amounts of the controlling and non-controlling interests to reflect their relative interests in the subsidiary. Any difference between the amount of the adjustment to non-controlling interests and any consideration paid or received is recognised in a separate reserve within equity attributable to owners of the Company. When the Group ceases to consolidate or equity account for an investment because of a loss of control, joint control or significant influence, any retained interest in the entity is remeasured to its fair value with the change in carrying amount recognised in profit or loss. This fair value becomes the initial carrying amount for the purposes of subsequently accounting for the retained interest as an associate, joint venture or financial asset. In addition, any amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income in respect of that entity are accounted for as if the Group had directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities. This may mean that amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income are reclassified to profit or loss or transferred to another category of equity as specified/permitted by applicable IFRSs. If the ownership interest in a joint venture or an associate is reduced but joint control or significant influence is retained, only a proportionate share of the amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income are reclassified to profit or loss where appropriate. 136 Zhengzhou Coal Mining Machinery Group Co., Ltd. Annual Report 2022 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements For the year ended 31 December 2022 2022 12 31 2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES 2 (Continued) 2.2 The principal accounting policies (Continued) 2.2 Business combinations The Group applies the acquisition method to account for all business combinations, regardless of whether equity instruments or other assets are acquired. The consideration transferred for the acquisition of a subsidiary comprises the: fair values of the assets transferred liabilities incurred to the former owners of the acquired business equity interests issued by the Group fair value of any asset or liability resulting from a contingent consideration arrangement, and fair value of any pre-existing equity interest in the subsidiary. Identifiable assets acquired, liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured initially at their fair values at the acquisition date. The Group recognises any non- controlling interest in the acquired entity on an acquisition-by- acquisition basis either at fair value or at the non-controlling interest’s proportionate share of the acquired entity’s net identifiable assets. Acquisition-related costs are expensed as incurred. The excess of the consideration transferred, amount of any non- controlling interest in the acquiree, and the acquisition-date fair value of any previous equity interest in the acquiree over the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. Contingent consideration is classified either as equity or a financial liability. Amounts classified as a financial liability are subsequently remeasured to fair value with changes in fair value recognised in profit or loss. Amounts classified as equity is not re-measured, and its subsequent settlement is accounted for within equity. If the business combination is achieved in stages, the acquisition date carrying value of the acquirer’s previously held equity interest in the acquiree is remeasured to fair value at the acquisition date. Any gains or losses arising from such remeasurement are recognised in profit or loss. 2022 137 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements For the year ended 31 December 2022 2022 12 31 2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES 2 (Continued) 2.2 The principal accounting policies (Continued) 2.2 Segment reporting Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision-maker (“CODM”). The chief operating decision-maker, who is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segments, has been identified as executive directors of the Company. Foreign currency translation (a) Functional and presentation currency (a) Items included in the historical financial information of each of the Group’s entities are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (the “functional currency”). The Company’s functional currency is RMB as its key activities and transactions are denominated in RMB. The Group’s presentation currency is RMB. (b) Transactions and balances (b) Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates at the dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at year end exchange rates are generally recognised in profit or loss. They are deferred in equity if they relate to qualifying cash flow hedges and qualifying net investment hedges or are attributable to part of the net investment in a foreign operation. Foreign exchange gains and losses that relate to borrowings are presented in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, within finance costs. All other foreign exchange gains and losses are presented in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income on a net basis within “other gains/losses, net”. 138 Zhengzhou Coal Mining Machinery Group Co., Ltd. Annual Report 2022 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements For the year ended 31 December 2022 2022 12 31 2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES 2 (Continued) 2.2 The principal accounting policies (Continued) 2.2 Foreign currency translation (Continued) (b) Transactions and balances (Continued) (b) Non-monetary items that are measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates at the date when the fair value was determined. Translation differences on assets and liabilities carried at fair value are reported as part of the fair value gain or loss. For example, translation differences on non-monetary assets and liabilities such as equities held at fair value through profit or loss are recognised in profit or loss as part of the fair value gain or loss and translation differences on non-monetary assets such as equities classified as fair value through other comprehensive income are recognised in other comprehensive income. (c) Group companies (c) The results and financial position of foreign operations (none of which has the currency of a hyperinflationary economy) that have a functional currency different from the presentation currency are translated into the presentation currency as follows: assets and liabilities for each statement of financial position presented are translated at the closing rate at the date of that statement of financial position income and expenses for each statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income are translated at average exchange rates (unless this is not a reasonable approximation of the cumulative effect of the rates prevailing on the transaction dates, in which case income and expenses are translated at the dates of the transactions), and all resulting exchange differences are recognised in other comprehensive income. 2022 139 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements For the year ended 31 December 2022 2022 12 31 2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES 2 (Continued) 2.2 The principal accounting policies (Continued) 2.2 Foreign currency translation (Continued) (c) Group companies (Continued) (c) On consolidation, exchange differences arising from the translation of any net investment in foreign entities, and of borrowings and other financial instruments designated as hedges of such investments, are recognised in other comprehensive income. When a foreign operation is sold or any borrowings forming part of the net investment are repaid, the associated exchange differences are reclassified into profit or loss, as part of “other gains/losses, net”. Goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on the acquisition of a foreign operation are treated as assets and liabilities of the foreign operation and translated at the closing rate. Property, plant and equipment All property, plant and equipment are stated at historical cost less depreciation. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the items. Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of any component accounted for as a separate asset is derecognised when replaced. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to profit or loss during the reporting period in which they are incurred. The above items of property, plant and equipment except for construction in progress are depreciated on a straight-line basis, taking into account their residual value, at the following rates per annum: Buildings 2.71%-3.17% 2.71% 3.17% Plant and machinery 9.00%-18.00% 9.00% 18.00% Motor vehicles 18.00%-19.00% 18.00% 19.00% Other equipment 18.00%-33.33% 18.00% 33.33% 140 Zhengzhou Coal Mining Machinery Group Co., Ltd. Annual Report 2022 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements For the year ended 31 December 2022 2022 12 31 2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES 2 (Continued) 2.2 The principal accounting policies (Continued) 2.2 Property, plant and equipment (Continued) Property, plant and equipment arising from business acquisition is depreciated over the remaining useful life. The assets’ residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at the end of each reporting period. An asset’s carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset’s carrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount. Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with carrying amount, and are recognised in “other gains/losses, net” in the profit or loss. Construction in progress represents a building under construction, which is stated at cost less any impairment losses, and is not depreciated. Cost comprises the direct costs of construction and capitalised borrowing costs on related borrowed funds during the period of construction. Construction in progress is reclassified to the appropriate category of property, plant and equipment, investment properties and intangible assets when completed and ready for use. Investment properties Investment properties are held for long-term rental yields and are not occupied by the Group. Investment property is initially measured at cost, including related transaction costs and where applicable borrowing costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, investment properties are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and any impairment losses. Investment properties are depreciated on a straight-line basis, taking into account their residual value, at the following rates per annum: Land use right 2% 2% Buildings 3.17%-4.75% 3.17% 4.75% 2022 141 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements For the year ended 31 December 2022 2022 12 31 2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES 2 (Continued) 2.2 The principal accounting policies (Continued) 2.2 Intangible assets (a) Goodwill (a) Goodwill arises on the acquisition of subsidiaries represents the excess of the aggregate purchase consideration transferred, the amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquiree and the acquisition-date fair value of any previous equity interest in the acquiree over the fair value of the net identifiable assets acquired. Goodwill on acquisitions of subsidiaries is included in intangible assets. Goodwill is not amortised but it is tested for impairment annually, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that it might be impaired, and is carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses. Gains and losses on the disposal of an entity include the carrying amount of goodwill relating to the entity sold. Goodwill is allocated to cash-generating units for the purpose of impairment testing. The allocation is made to those cash- generating units or groups of cash-generating units that are expected to benefit from the business combination in which the goodwill arose. The units or groups of units are identified at the lowest level at which goodwill is monitored for internal management purposes at the operating segments. (b) Trademarks, patents and customer relationship (b) Separately acquired trademarks and licences are shown at historical cost. Trademarks, patents and customer relationship acquired in a business combination are recognised at fair value at the acquisition date. They have a finite useful life and are subsequently carried at cost less accumulated amortisation and impairment losses. 142 Zhengzhou Coal Mining Machinery Group Co., Ltd.

Development costs that are directly attributable to the design and testing of identifiable and unique products controlled by the Group are recognised as intangible assets when the following criteria are met: it is technically feasible to complete the technology so that it will be available for use management intends to complete the technology and use or sell it there is an ability to use or sell the technology it can be demonstrated how the technology will generate probable future economic benefits adequate technical, financial and other resources to complete the development and to use or sell the technology are available, and the expenditure attributable to the technology during its development can be reliably measured. Directly attributable costs that are capitalised as part of the technology include employee costs and an appropriate portion of relevant overheads. Capitalised development costs are recorded as development costs in intangible assets and would be transferred to completed development projects or patents, and amortised from the point at which the asset is ready for use over its estimated use life. 2022 143 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements For the year ended 31 December 2022 2022 12 31 2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES 2 (Continued) 2.2 The principal accounting policies (Continued) 2.2 Intangible assets (Continued) (d) Research and development (d) Research expenditure and development expenditure that do (c) not meet the criteria in (c) above are recognised as an expense as incurred. Development costs previously recognised as an expense are not recognised as an asset in a subsequent period. (e) Amortisation methods and periods (e) The Group amortises intangible assets with a limited useful life using the straight-line method over the following period: Trademark 10 years 10 Software 4-5 years 4 5 Development costs 4 years 4 Patent right 5-10 years 5 10 Customer relationship 10 years 10 Non-current assets (or disposal groups) held for sale and discontinued operations Non-current assets (or disposal groups) are classified as held for sale if their carrying amount will be recovered principally through a sale transaction rather than through continuing use and a sale is considered highly probable. They are measured at the lower of their carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell, except for assets such as deferred tax assets, assets arising from employee benefits, financial assets and investment property that are carried at fair value and contractual rights under insurance contracts, which are specifically exempt from this requirement. An impairment loss is recognised for any initial or subsequent write- down of the asset (or disposal group) to fair value less costs to sell. A gain is recognised for any subsequent increases in fair value less costs to sell of an asset (or disposal group), but not in excess of any cumulative impairment loss previously recognised. A gain or loss not previously recognised by the date of the sale of the non-current asset (or disposal group) is recognised at the date of derecognition. Non-current assets (including those that are part of a disposal group) are not depreciated or amortised while they are classified as held for sale. Interest and other expenses attributable to the liabilities of a disposal group classified as held for sale continue to be recognised. 144 Zhengzhou Coal Mining Machinery Group Co., Ltd. Annual Report 2022 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements For the year ended 31 December 2022 2022 12 31 2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES 2 (Continued) 2.2 The principal accounting policies (Continued) 2.2 Non-current assets (or disposal groups) held for sale and discontinued operations (Continued) Non-current assets classified as held for sale and the assets of a disposal group classified as held for sale are presented separately from the other assets in the statement of financial position. The liabilities of a disposal group classified as held for sale are presented separately from other liabilities in the statement of financial position. A discontinued operation is a component of the entity that has been disposed of or is classified as held for sale and that represents a separate major line of business or geographical area of operations, is part of a single co-ordinated plan to dispose of such a line of business or area of operations, or is a subsidiary acquired exclusively with a view to resale. The results of discontinued operations are presented separately in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income. Impairment of non-financial assets Goodwill, development costs not yet ready for use and intangible assets that have an indefinite useful life are not subject to amortisation and are tested annually for impairment, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that they might be impaired. Other assets are tested for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs of disposal and value in use. For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash inflows which are largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets (cash-generating units). Non-financial assets other than goodwill that suffered an impairment are reviewed for possible reversal of the impairment at the end of each reporting period. 2022 145 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements For the year ended 31 December 2022 2022 12 31 2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES 2 (Continued) 2.2 The principal accounting policies (Continued) 2.2 Financial assets (a) Classification (a) The Group classifies its financial assets in the following measurement categories: those to be measured subsequently at fair value (either through other comprehensive income or through profit or loss), and those to be measured at amortised cost. The classification depends on the entity’s business model for managing the financial assets and the contractual terms of the cash flows. For assets measured at fair value, gains and losses will either be recorded in profit or loss or other comprehensive income (“OCI”). For investments in debt instruments, this will depend on the business model in which the investment is held. For investments in equity instruments that are not held for trading, this will depend on whether the Group has made an irrevocable election at the time of initial recognition to account for the equity investment at fair value through other comprehensive income (“FVOCI”). The Group reclassifies debt investments when and only when its business model for managing those assets changes. (b) Recognition and derecognition (b) Regular way purchases and sales of financial assets are recognised on trade-date, the date on which the Group commits to purchase or sell the asset. Financial assets are derecognised when the rights to receive cash flow from the financial assets have expired or have been transferred and the Group has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership. 146 Zhengzhou Coal Mining Machinery Group Co., Ltd. Annual Report 2022 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements For the year ended 31 December 2022 2022 12 31 2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES 2 (Continued) 2.2 The principal accounting policies (Continued) 2.2 Financial assets (Continued) (c) Measurement (c) At initial recognition, the Group measures a financial asset at its fair value plus, in the case of a financial asset not at fair value through profit or loss (“FVPL”), transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the financial asset. Transaction costs of financial assets carried at FVPL are expensed in profit or loss. Financial assets with embedded derivatives are considered in their entirety when determining whether their cash flows are solely payment of principal and interest. Debt instruments Subsequent measurement of debt instruments depends on the Group’s business model for managing the asset and the cash flow characteristics of the asset. There are three measurement categories into which the Group classifies its debt instruments: Amortised cost: Assets that are held for collection of contractual cash flows where those cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest are measured at amortised cost. Interest income from these financial assets is included in finance income using the effective interest rate method. Any gain or loss arising on derecognition is recognised directly in profit or loss and presented in “other gains/losses, net” together with foreign exchange gains and losses. Impairment losses are presented as separate line item in the profit or loss. FVOCI: Assets that are held for collection of contractual cash flows and for selling the financial assets, where the assets’ cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest, are measured at FVOCI. Movements in the carrying amount are taken through OCI, except for the recognition of impairment gains or losses, interest income and foreign exchange gains and losses which are recognised in profit or loss. When the financial asset is derecognised, the cumulative gain or loss previously recognised in OCI is reclassified from equity to profit or loss and recognised in “other gains/losses, net”. Interest income from these financial assets is included in finance income using the effective interest rate method. Foreign exchange gains and losses are presented in “other gains/ losses, net” and impairment expenses are presented as separate line item in the profit or loss. 2022 147 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements For the year ended 31 December 2022 2022 12 31 2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES 2 (Continued) 2.2 The principal accounting policies (Continued) 2.2 Financial assets (Continued) (c) Measurement (Continued) (c) Debt instruments (Continued) FVPL: Assets that do not meet the criteria for amortised cost or FVOCI are measured at FVPL. A gain or loss on a debt investment that is subsequently measured at FVPL is recognised in profit or loss and presented net within “other gains/losses, net” in the period in which it arises. Equity instruments The Group subsequently measures all equity investments at fair value. Where the Group’s management has elected to present fair value gains and losses on equity investments in OCI, there is no subsequent reclassification of fair value gains and losses to profit or loss following the derecognition of the investment. Dividends from such investments continue to be recognised in profit or loss when the Group’s right to receive payments is established. Changes in the fair value of financial assets measured at FVPL are recognised in “other gains/losses, net” in profit or loss as applicable. Impairment losses (and reversal of impairment losses) on equity investments measured at FVOCI are not reported separately from other changes in fair value. (d) Impairment (d) The Group assesses on a forward looking basis the expected credit losses associated with its debt instruments carried at amortised cost, FVOCI and FVPL. The impairment methodology applied depends on whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk. The Group has certain types of financial assets that are subject to IFRS 9’s ECL model. Please refer to Note 3 for details. 9 3 148 Zhengzhou Coal Mining Machinery Group Co., Ltd. Annual Report 2022 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements For the year ended 31 December 2022 2022 12 31 2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES 2 (Continued) 2.2 The principal accounting policies (Continued) 2.2 Offsetting financial instruments Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount reported in the statement of financial position where the Group currently has a legally enforceable right to offset the recognised amounts, and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. The Group has also entered into arrangements that do not meet the criteria for offsetting but still allow for the related amounts to be set off in certain circumstances, such as bankruptcy or the termination of a contract. Derivatives and hedging activities Derivatives are initially recognised at fair value on the date a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently remeasured to their fair value at the end of each reporting period. The accounting for subsequent changes in fair value depends on whether the derivative is designated as a hedging instrument, and if so, the nature of the item being hedged. The Group designates certain derivatives as either: hedges of the fair value of recognised assets or liabilities or a firm commitment (fair value hedges), or hedges of a particular risk associated with the cash flows of recognised assets and liabilities and highly probable forecast transactions (cash flow hedges). At the inception of the hedging, the Group documents the economic relationship between hedging instruments and hedged items, including whether changes in the cash flows of the hedging instruments are expected to offset changes in the cash flows of hedged items. The Group documents its risk management objective and strategy for undertaking its hedge transactions. The fair values of derivative financial instruments designated in hedge relationships are disclosed in Note 23. The full fair value of a hedging 23 12 derivative is classified as a non-current asset or liability when the remaining maturity of the hedged item is more than 12 months; it is classified as a current asset or liability when the remaining maturity 12 of the hedged item is less than 12 months. Trading derivatives are classified as a current asset or liability. 2022 149 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements For the year ended 31 December 2022 2022 12 31 2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES 2 (Continued) 2.2 The principal accounting policies (Continued) 2.2 Derivatives and hedging activities (Continued) (a) Cash flow hedges that qualify for hedge accounting (a) The effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges is recognised in cash flow hedge reserve within equity. The gain or loss relating to the ineffective portion is recognised immediately in profit or loss within “other gains/losses, net”. When option contracts are used to hedge forecast transactions, the Group designates only the intrinsic value of the options as the hedging instrument. The Group classified foreign currency options and commodity option as held-for-trading derivatives and accounted for them at FVPL. Gains or losses relating to the effective portion of the change in intrinsic value of the options are recognised in the cash flow hedge reserve within equity. The changes in the time value of the options that relate to the hedged item (‘aligned time value’) are recognised within OCI in the costs of hedging reserve within equity. When forward contracts are used to hedge forecast transactions, the Group generally designates only the change in fair value of the forward contract related to the spot component as the hedging instrument. Gains or losses relating to the effective portion of the change in the spot component of the forward contracts are recognised in the cash flow hedge reserve within equity. The change in the forward element of the contract that relates to the hedged item (‘aligned forward element’) is recognised within OCI in the costs of hedging reserve within equity. In some cases, the Group may designate the full change in fair value of the forward contract (including forward points) as the hedging instrument. In such cases, the gains or losses relating to the effective portion of the change in fair value of the entire forward contract are recognised in the cash flow hedge reserve within equity. 150 Zhengzhou Coal Mining Machinery Group Co., Ltd. Annual Report 2022 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements For the year ended 31 December 2022 2022 12 31 2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES 2 (Continued) 2.2 The principal accounting policies (Continued) 2.2 Derivatives and hedging activities (Continued) (a) Cash flow hedges that qualify for hedge accounting (Continued) (a) Amounts accumulated in equity are reclassified in the periods when the hedged item affects profit or loss, as follows: Where the hedged item subsequently results in the recognition of a non-financial asset (such as inventory), both the deferred hedging gains and losses and the deferred time value of the option contracts or deferred forward points, if any, are included within the initial cost of the asset. The deferred amounts are ultimately recognised in profit or loss as the hedged item affects profit or loss (for example through cost of sales). The gain or loss relating to the effective portion of the interest rate swaps hedging variable rate borrowings is recognised in profit or loss within finance cost at the same time as the interest expense on the hedged borrowings. When a hedging instrument expires, or is sold or terminated, or when a hedge no longer meets the criteria for hedge accounting, any cumulative deferred gain or loss and deferred costs of hedging in equity at that time remains in equity until the forecast transaction occurs, resulting in the recognition of a non-financial asset such as inventory. When the forecast transaction is no longer expected to occur, the cumulative gain or loss and deferred costs of hedging that were reported in equity are immediately reclassified to profit or loss. (b) Derivatives that do not qualify for hedge accounting (b) Certain derivative instruments do not qualify for hedge accounting. Changes in the fair value of any derivative instrument that does not qualify for hedge accounting are recognised immediately in profit or loss and are included in “other gains/losses, net”. 2022 151 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements For the year ended 31 December 2022 2022 12 31 2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES 2 (Continued) 2.2 The principal accounting policies (Continued) 2.2 Inventories Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost is determined using the weighted average method. The cost of finished goods and work in progress comprises raw materials, direct labour, other direct costs and related production overheads (based on normal operating capacity). It excludes borrowing costs. Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale. Trade receivables Trade receivables are amounts due from customers for goods sold or services performed in the ordinary course of business. They are generally due for settlement within a year and therefore are all classified as current. Trade receivables are recognised initially at the amount of consideration that is unconditional unless they contain significant financing components, when they are recognised at fair value. The Group holds the trade receivables with the objective to collect the contractual cash flows and therefore measures them subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method. See Note 29 for further information about the Group’s accounting for trade receivables 29 3 and Note 3 for a description of the Group’s impairment policies. Cash and cash equivalents For the purpose of presentation in the statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand, deposits held at call with financial institutions, other short-term, highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities in the statement of financial position. 152 Zhengzhou Coal Mining Machinery Group Co., Ltd. Annual Report 2022 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements For the year ended 31 December 2022 2022 12 31 2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES 2 (Continued) 2.2 The principal accounting policies (Continued) 2.2 Share capital Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds. Where any group company purchases the Company’s equity instruments, for example as the result of a share buy-back or a share-based payment plan, the consideration paid, including any directly attributable incremental costs (net of income taxes) is deducted from equity attributable to the owners of the Company as treasury shares until the shares are cancelled or reissued. Where such ordinary shares are subsequently reissued, any consideration received, net of any directly attributable incremental transaction costs and the related income tax effects, is included in equity attributable to the owners of the Company. Trade and other payables Trade payables are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Trade payables are classified as current liabilities unless payment is 12 not due 12 months after the reporting period. Trade payables and other payables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. 2022 153 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements For the year ended 31 December 2022 2022 12 31 2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES 2 (Continued) 2.2 The principal accounting policies (Continued) 2.2 Borrowings Borrowings are recognised initially at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. Borrowings are subsequently carried at amortised cost; any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption value is recognised in the profit or loss over the period of the borrowings using the effective interest method. Fees paid on the establishment of loan facilities are recognised as transaction costs of the loan to the extent that it is probable that some or all of the facility will be drawn down. In this case, the fee is deferred until the draw-down occurs. To the extent there is no evidence that it is probable that some or all of the facility will be drawn down, the fee is capitalised as a pre-payment for liquidity services and amortised over the period of the facility to which it relates. Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the Group has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 12 months after the end of the reporting period. Borrowing cost General and specific borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of qualifying assets, which are assets that necessarily take a substantial period of time to get ready for their intended use or sale, are added to the cost of those assets, until such time as the assets are substantially ready for their intended use or sale. Investment income earned on the temporary investment of specific borrowings pending their expenditure on qualifying assets is deducted from the borrowing costs eligible for capitalisation. All other borrowing costs are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they are incurred. 154 Zhengzhou Coal Mining Machinery Group Co., Ltd. Annual Report 2022 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements For the year ended 31 December 2022 2022 12 31 2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES 2 (Continued) 2.2 The principal accounting policies (Continued) 2.2 Current and deferred income tax The income tax expense for the period comprises current and deferred tax. Income tax is recognised in the profit or loss, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity. In this case the income tax is also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, respectively. (a) Current income tax (a) The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the date of the statement of financial position in the areas where the Company, its subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures operate and generate taxable income. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulation is subject to interpretation. It establishes provisions where appropriate on the basis of amounts expected to be paid to the tax authorities. (b) Deferred income tax (b) Inside basis differences Deferred income tax is recognised on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements. However, deferred income tax liabilities are not recognised if they arise from the initial recognition of goodwill, the deferred income tax is not accounted for if it arises from initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction other than a business combination that at the time of the transaction affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss. Deferred income tax is determined using tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the date of the statement of financial position and are expected to apply when the related deferred income tax asset is realised or the deferred income tax liability is settled. Deferred income tax assets are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilised. 2022 155 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements For the year ended 31 December 2022 2022 12 31 2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES 2 (Continued) 2.2 The principal accounting policies (Continued) 2.2 Current and deferred income tax (Continued) (b) Deferred income tax (Continued) (b) Outside basis differences Deferred income tax is provided on temporary differences arising from investments in subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates, except for deferred income tax liability where the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference is controlled by the Group and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future. Generally the Group is unable to control the reversal of the temporary difference for joint ventures and associates. Only when there is an agreement in place that gives the Group the ability to control the reversal of the temporary difference in the foreseeable future, deferred income tax liability in relation to taxable temporary differences arising from the joint ventures and associates’ undistributed profits is not recognised. (c) Offsetting (c) Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to offset current income tax assets against current income tax liabilities and when the deferred income tax assets and liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on either the taxable entity or different taxable entities where there is an intention to settle the balances on a net basis. 156 Zhengzhou Coal Mining Machinery Group Co., Ltd. Annual Report 2022 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements For the year ended 31 December 2022 2022 12 31 2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES 2 (Continued) 2.2 The principal accounting policies (Continued) 2.2 Employee benefits Employee benefits include short-term employee benefits, post- employment benefits, termination benefits and other long-term employee benefits provided in various forms of consideration in exchange for service rendered by employees or compensations for the termination of employment relationship. (a) Short-term obligations (a) Short-term employee benefits include employee wages or salaries, bonus, allowances and subsidies, staff welfare, premiums or contributions on medical insurance, work injury insurance and maternity insurance, housing funds, short- term paid absences, labour union running costs and employee education costs, etc. The short-term employee benefit liabilities are recognised in the accounting period in which the service is rendered by the employees, with a corresponding charge to the profit or loss for the current period or the cost of relevant assets. Non-monetary benefits are measured at fair value. (b) Pension obligations (b) The Group operates various pension schemes, including both defined contribution and defined benefit plans. Defined contribution plans A defined contribution plan is a pension plan under which the Group pays fixed contributions into a separate entity. The Group’s legal or constructive obligation for the plan is limited to the contributions. The Group pays contributions to publicly or privately administered pension insurance plans on a mandatory, contractual or voluntary basis. The Group has no further payment obligations once the contributions have been paid. The contributions are recognised as employee benefit expense when they are due. Prepaid contributions are recognised as an asset to the extent that a cash refund or a reduction in the future payments is available. 2022 157 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements For the year ended 31 December 2022 2022 12 31 2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES 2 (Continued) 2.2 The principal accounting policies (Continued) 2.2 Employee benefits (Continued) (b) Pension obligations (Continued) (b) Defined benefit plans A defined benefit plan is a pension plan that is not a defined contribution plan. Typically defined benefit plans define an amount of pension benefit that an employee will receive on retirement, usually dependent on one or more factors such as age, years of service and compensation. The liability recognised in the statement of financial position in respect of defined benefit pension plans is the present value of the defined benefit obligation at the end of the reporting period less the fair value of plan assets. The defined benefit obligation is calculated annually by independent actuaries using the projected unit credit method. The present value of the defined benefit obligation is determined by discounting the estimated future cash outflows using interest rates of high- quality corporate bonds that are denominated in the currency in which the benefits will be paid, and that have terms to maturity approximating to the terms of the related pension obligation. In countries where there is no deep market in such bonds, the market rates on government bonds are used. The current service cost of the defined benefit plan, recognised in the profit or loss in employee benefit expense, except where included in the cost of an asset, reflects the increase in the defined benefit obligation resulting from employee service in the current year, benefit changes, curtailments and settlements. Actuarial gains and losses arising from experience adjustments and changes in actuarial assumptions are charged or credited in other comprehensive income in the period in which they arise. Past-service costs are recognised immediately in the profit or loss. The net interest cost is calculated by applying the discount rate to the net balance of the defined benefit obligation and the fair value of plan assets. This cost is included in employee benefit expense in the profit or loss. 158 Zhengzhou Coal Mining Machinery Group Co., Ltd. Annual Report 2022 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements For the year ended 31 December 2022 2022 12 31 2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES 2 (Continued) 2.2 The principal accounting policies (Continued) 2.2 Employee benefits (Continued) (c) Other post-employment obligations (c) Some group companies provide other post-retirement benefits to their retirees. The entitlement to these benefits is usually conditional on the employee remaining in service up to retirement age and the completion of a minimum service period. The expected costs of these benefits are accrued over the period of employment using the same accounting methodology as used for defined benefit pension plans. Actuarial gains and losses arising from experience adjustments and changes in actuarial assumptions are charged or credited in other comprehensive income in the period in which they arise. These obligations are valued annually by independent qualified actuaries. (d) Termination benefits (d) Termination benefits are payable when employment is terminated by the Group before the normal retirement date, or whenever an employee accepts voluntary redundancy in exchange for these benefits. The Group recognises termination (a) benefits at the earlier of the following dates: (a) when the Group (b) can no longer withdraw the offer of those benefits; and (b) when 37 the entity recognises costs for a restructuring that is within the scope of IAS 37 and involves the payment of termination benefits. In the case of an offer made to encourage voluntary redundancy, the termination benefits are measured based on 12 the number of employees expected to accept the offer. Benefits falling due more than 12 months after the end of the reporting period are discounted to their present value. (e) Profit-sharing and bonus plans (e) The Group recognises a liability and an expense for bonuses and profit-sharing based on a formula that takes into consideration the profit attributable to the Company’s shareholders after certain adjustments. The Group recognises a provision where contractually obliged or where there is a past practice that has created a constructive obligation. 2022 159 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements For the year ended 31 December 2022 2022 12 31 2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES 2 (Continued) 2.2 The principal accounting policies (Continued) 2.2 Employee benefits (Continued) (f) Employee leave entitlements (f) Employee entitlements to annual leave are recognised when they accrue to employees. A provision is made for the estimated liability for annual leave as a result of services rendered by employees up to the statement of financial position date. Employee entitlements to sick leave and maternity leave are not recognised until the time of leave. (g) Share-based payments – expense recognition and grant date (g) Share-based payment expenses should be recognised over the period during which the employees provide the relevant services. This period may commence prior to the grant date. In this situation, the entity estimates the grant date fair value of the equity instruments for the purposes of recognising the services received during the period between service commencement date and grant date. Once the grant date has been established, the entity revises the earlier estimate so that the amounts recognised for services received is ultimately based on the grant date fair value of the equity instruments. Share-based payments Share-based compensation benefits are provided to employees via A the A share Option Incentive Scheme (the “Employee Option Plan”), the executive short-term incentive scheme and share appreciation. Information relating to these schemes is set out in Notes 37 and 38. 37 38 160 Zhengzhou Coal Mining Machinery Group Co., Ltd. Annual Report 2022 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements For the year ended 31 December 2022 2022 12 31 2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES 2 (Continued) 2.2 The principal accounting policies (Continued) 2.2 Share-based payments (Continued) Employee options The fair value of options granted under the Employee Option Plan is recognised as an employee benefits expense with a corresponding increase in equity. The total amount to be expensed is determined by reference to the fair value of the options granted: – including any market performance conditions (eg the entity’s share price) – excluding the impact of any service and non-market performance vesting conditions (eg profitability, sales growth targets and remaining an employee of the entity over a specified time period), and – including the impact of any non-vesting conditions (eg the requirement for employees to save or hold shares for a specific period of time). The total expense is recognised over the vesting period, which is the period over which all of the specified vesting conditions are to be satisfied. At the end of each period, the entity revises its estimates of the number of options that are expected to vest based on the non-market vesting and service conditions. It recognises the impact of the revision to original estimates, if any, in profit or loss, with a corresponding adjustment to equity. 2022 161 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements For the year ended 31 December 2022 2022 12 31 2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES 2 (Continued) 2.2 The principal accounting policies (Continued) 2.2 Restricted share incentive scheme Under the restricted share incentive scheme, shares are issued by the Company to the selected employees on the grant date. The total amount to be expensed which is determined by reference to the fair value of the granted restricted shares as of the grant date less the proceeds received from the grant, is amortised to profit or loss over the relevant service period being the vesting period of the shares, and recorded under other reserves attributable to equity holders of the Company. The proceeds received from the grant are treated as capital contribution wholly belonging to the participants. The proceeds received from the grant are firstly recorded under treasury shares and other payables until each unlocking date when the relevant vesting conditions are satisfied. The number of shares expected to vest is estimated based on the non-market vesting conditions. The estimates are revised at the end of each reporting period and adjustments are recognised in profit or loss and other reserves. Provision Provisions are recognised when: the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events; it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation; and the amount has been reliably estimated. Provisions are not recognised for future operating losses. The Group recognises provisions in respect of the estimated liability to repair or replace for assurance type – warranty. This provision is calculated based on historical experience of the level of repairs and replacements. Where there are a number of similar obligations, the likelihood that an outflow will be required in settlement is determined by considering the class of obligations as a whole. A provision is recognised even if the likelihood of an outflow with respect to any one item included in the same class of obligations may be small. If an entity has an onerous contract (the unavoidable costs of meeting the obligations under the contract exceed the economic benefits expected to be received under it), the present obligation under the contract is recognised as a provision. 162 Zhengzhou Coal Mining Machinery Group Co., Ltd. Annual Report 2022 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements For the year ended 31 December 2022 2022 12 31 2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES 2 (Continued) 2.2 The principal accounting policies (Continued) 2.2 Provision (Continued) A restructuring provision is recognised only when the general recognition criteria for provision are met. The obligation for a restructuring is often constructive. A constructive restructuring (a) obligation arises only when there is: (a) a detailed formal plan (b) identifying the main features of the restructuring; and (b) a valid expectation in those affected that the entity will carry out the restructuring by starting to implement the plan or announcing its main features to those affected. A restructuring plan does not create a present obligation at the statement of financial position date if it is announced after that date, even if it is announced before the financial statements are approved. A sale or termination of a business might fall under the definition of a restructuring. No obligation arises in respect of restructuring costs associated with the sale of an operation until the entity is committed to the sale (that is, there is a binding sale agreement). Restructuring provision includes only the direct expenditures arising from the restructuring, which are necessarily entailed by the restructuring and not those associated with the entity’s ongoing activities. Any expected gains on the sale of assets are not considered in measuring a restructuring provision. Revenue recognition Sales comprise the fair value of the consideration received or receivable from the sale of coal mining machinery, spare parts, auto parts and rendering of services in the ordinary course of the Group’s activities. Sales are presented, net of value-added tax, rebates and discounts, and after eliminating sales within the Group. The Group also assesses its role as an agent or principal for each transaction and in an agency arrangement the amounts collected on behalf of the principal are excluded from revenue. The Group recognises revenue when the specific criteria have been met for each of the activities, as described below. 2022 163 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements For the year ended 31 December 2022 2022 12 31 2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES 2 (Continued) 2.2 The principal accounting policies (Continued) 2.2 Revenue recognition (Continued) Sales of products The Group manufactures and sells a range of coal mining machineries and auto parts to its customers. Sales are recognised when control of the products has transferred, being when the products are delivered to the customer, and there is no unfulfilled obligation that could affect the customer’s acceptance of the products. Delivery occurs when the products have been shipped to the specific location, the risks of obsolescence and loss have been transferred to the customer, and either the customer has accepted the products in accordance with the sales contract, the acceptance provisions have lapsed, or the Group has objective evidence that all criteria for acceptance have been satisfied. The retention receivables which will be settled by customers after warranty period, is included in trade receivables. The Group does not recognise the warranty service as a separate performance obligation in a single contract as the warranty service is assurance type, and the Group’s obligation to repair or replace faulty products under the warranty terms is recognised as a provision, see 33 Note 33. Transportation and handling cost As the transportation and handling activities occur before the customer obtains control of related products, they are not separate performance obligation, therefore, related costs are fulfilment costs which are recognised as assets. The assets are amortised on a systematic basis that is consistent with the transfer to the customer of the goods or service to which the assets relate. Due to the short period of transportation, related assets are not material at the date of the statement of financial position. Significant financing component Where the contract contains a financing component which provides a significant financing benefit to the customer for more than 12 12 months, revenue is measured at the present value of the amount receivable, discounted using the discount rate that would be reflected in a separate financing transaction with the customer, and interest 3 5 income is accrued separately under the effective interest method. Normally, the collection period would be from 3 to 5 years. Rendering of services Revenue from providing services is recognised in the accounting period in which the services are rendered. The service provided by the Group is mainly related to the service for repairing service. 164 Zhengzhou Coal Mining Machinery Group Co., Ltd. Annual Report 2022 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements For the year ended 31 December 2022 2022 12 31 2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES 2 (Continued) 2.2 The principal accounting policies (Continued) 2.2 Revenue recognition (Continued) Presentation of assets and liabilities related to contracts with customers IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers requires the 15 presentation of any unconditional rights to consideration as a receivable separately from contract assets. The Group has therefore reclassified its contract assets and contact liabilities in accordance 15 with IFRS 15. Contract liabilities are recognised as follows: Contract liabilities recognised in relation to advance received from customers for non-cancellable contracts. Contract liabilities recognised in relation to Research and Development (“R&D”) reimbursements – The Group recognises the related reimbursement payment from customer as contract liabilities and recognises the amount as revenue over the expected production to customer in future period. The related R&D costs are capitalised as contract fulfilment cost and amortised to profit or loss on a systematic basis consistent with the pattern of the transfer of the products under production to the customer as part of cost of sales. Any R&D cost which is not recoverable or when related production is not proceeded by the customer is written off to profit or loss directly. The Group also has the contract related assets, recognised in relation to nomination fee. Nomination fee represents the fee paid by the Group to the customers to participate in the tendering process, and the fee is not refundable once the customer’s contract is secured. Such payment to customer is capitalised as an asset and subsequently amortised to deduct against the revenue over the contract life. 2022 165 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements For the year ended 31 December 2022 2022 12 31 2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES 2 (Continued) 2.2 The principal accounting policies (Continued) 2.2 Interest income Interest income is calculated by applying the effective interest rate to the gross carrying amount of a financial asset except for financial assets that subsequently become credit-impaired. For credit- impaired financial assets the effective interest rate is applied to the net carrying amount of the financial asset (after deduction of the loss allowance). Interest income is presented as other income where it is earned from financial assets that are held for cash management purposes. Government grants Grants from the government are recognised where there is a reasonable assurance that the grant will be received and the Group will comply with all attached conditions. If the grant is in the form of monetary assets, it is measured by the amount received or receivable. Government grants of the Group are obtained free from the government in the form of monetary assets, including tax refunds and/or financial subsidies. Government grants related to assets are government grants which are obtained by the enterprise for the construction or formation of other long-term assets. Government grants related to income refer to the grants other than those related to assets. Government grants related to assets are recognised as deferred income, equally recorded in profit or loss of corresponding period over the life of the relevant assets. Government grants related to income used as compensation for business expenses or losses in subsequent periods, are recognised as deferred income, and recorded in profit or loss when the expenses are recognised; those obtained as compensation for business expenses or losses that have occurred are recorded directly in current profit or loss. 166 Zhengzhou Coal Mining Machinery Group Co., Ltd. Annual Report 2022 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements For the year ended 31 December 2022 2022 12 31 2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES 2 (Continued) 2.2 The principal accounting policies (Continued) 2.2 Leases Leases are recognised as a right-of-use asset and a corresponding liability at the date at which the leased asset is available for use by the Group. Contracts may contain both lease and non-lease components. The Group allocates the consideration in the contract to the lease and non-lease components based on their relative stand-alone prices. However, for leases of real estate for which the Group is a lessee, it has elected not to separate lease and non-lease components and instead accounts for these as a single lease component. Lease terms are negotiated on an individual basis and contain a wide range of different terms and conditions. The lease agreements do not impose any covenants other than the security interests in the leased assets that are held by the lessor. Leased assets may not be used as security for borrowing purposes. Assets and liabilities arising from a lease are initially measured on a present value basis. Lease liabilities include the net present value of the following lease payments: fixed payments (including in-substance fixed payments), less any lease incentives receivable variable lease payments that are based on an index or a rate, initially measured using the index or rate as at the commencement date amounts expected to be payable by the Group under residual value guarantees the exercise price of a purchase option if the Group is reasonably certain to exercise that option, and payments of penalties for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects the Group exercising that option. Lease payments to be made under reasonably certain extension options are also included in the measurement of the liability. 2022 167 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements For the year ended 31 December 2022 2022 12 31 2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES 2 (Continued) 2.2 The principal accounting policies (Continued) 2.2 Leases (Continued) The lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease. If that rate cannot be readily determined, which is generally the case for leases in the Group, the lessee’s incremental borrowing rate is used, being the rate that the individual lessee would have to pay to borrow the funds necessary to obtain an asset of similar value to the right-of-use asset in a similar economic environment with similar terms, security and conditions. To determine the incremental borrowing rate, the Group: where possible, uses recent third-party financing received by the individual lessee as a starting point, adjusted to reflect changes in financing conditions since third party financing was received uses a build-up approach that starts with a risk-free interest rate adjusted for credit risk for leases held by the Group, which does not have recent third party financing, and makes adjustments specific to the lease, eg term, country, currency and security. If a readily observable amortising loan rate is available to the individual lessee (through recent financing or market data) which has a similar payment profile to the lease, then the group entities use that rate as a starting point to determine the incremental borrowing rate. The Group is exposed to potential future increases in variable lease payments based on an index or rate, which are not included in the lease liability until they take effect. When adjustments to lease payments based on an index or rate take effect, the lease liability is reassessed and adjusted against the right-of-use asset. Lease payments are allocated between principal and finance cost. The finance cost is charged to profit or loss over the lease period so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability for each period. Right-of-use assets are measured at cost comprising the following: the amount of the initial measurement of lease liability any lease payments made at or before the commencement date less any lease incentives received any initial direct costs, and restoration costs. 168 Zhengzhou Coal Mining Machinery Group Co., Ltd. Annual Report 2022 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements For the year ended 31 December 2022 2022 12 31 2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES 2 (Continued) 2.2 The principal accounting policies (Continued) 2.2 Leases (Continues) Right-of-use assets are generally depreciated over the shorter of the asset’s useful life and the lease term on a straight-line basis. If the Group is reasonably certain to exercise a purchase option, the right- of-use asset is amortised over the underlying asset’s useful life. Payments associated with short-term leases of equipment and vehicles and all leases of low-value assets are recognised on a straight-line basis as an expense in profit or loss. Short-term leases 12 are leases with a lease term of 12 months or less without a purchase option. Low-value assets comprise IT equipment and small items of office furniture. Lease income from operating leases where the Group is a lessor is recognised in income on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Initial direct costs incurred in obtaining an operating lease are added to the carrying amount of the underlying asset and recognised as expense over the lease term on the same basis as lease income. The respective leased assets are included in the statement of financial position based on their nature. The Group did not need to make any adjustments to the accounting for assets held as lessor as a result of adopting the new leasing standard. Earnings per share Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing: the profit attributable to owners of the Company, excluding any costs of servicing equity other than ordinary shares by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the financial year, adjusted for bonus elements in ordinary shares issued during the year and excluding treasury shares. Diluted earnings per share Diluted earnings per share adjusts the figures used in the determination of basic earnings per share to take into account: the after-income tax effect of interest and other financing costs associated with dilutive potential ordinary shares, and the weighted average number of additional ordinary shares that would have been outstanding assuming the conversion of all dilutive potential ordinary shares. Dividend distribution Dividend distribution to the shareholders is recognised as a liability in the Group’s consolidated financial statements in the period in which the dividends are approved by the Company’s shareholders, where appropriate. 2022 169 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements For the year ended 31 December 2022 2022 12 31 3 Financial risk factors 3 The Group’s major financial assets and liabilities include loans receivable from associates and joint ventures, financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income, finance lease receivables, long-term receivables, debt investment, trade and other receivables, derivative instruments, bank deposits, cash and cash equivalents, trade and other payables, borrowings, redemption liabilities, transferred trade receivables and liabilities associated with transferred trade receivables. Details of these financial instruments are disclosed in respective notes. The risks associated with these financial instruments and the policies on how to mitigate these risks are set out below. The management manages and monitors these exposures to ensure appropriate measures are implemented on a timely and effective manner. (a) Market risk (a) The Group’s activities expose it primarily to currency risk, interest rate risk, liquidity risk and price risk. There has been no change in the Group’s exposure to these risks or the manner in which it manages and measures the risks. (i) Currency risk (i) The Group operates internationally and is exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from various non-functional currencies. Foreign exchange risk arises from future commercial transactions, recognised assets and liabilities. The actual foreign exchange risk faced by the Group therefore is primarily with respect to non-functional currency bank balances, receivables, borrowings and payables (collectively “Non- Functional Currency Items”). Management monitors foreign exchange exposure and will consider hedging certain foreign currency exposure by using foreign exchange forward contracts when the need arises. The carrying amounts of the Group’s Non-Functional Currency Items at the end of each reporting period are as follows: 31 December 2022 31 December 2021 2022 12 31 2021 12 31 USD EUR HKD USD EUR HKD RMB’000 RMB’000 RMB’000 RMB’000 RMB’000 RMB’000 Assets 1,052,259 134,066 10,005 697,958 144,561 9,639 Liabilities (130,393) (280,415) – (77,875) (342,550) – The Group is mainly exposed to the foreign currency risk between United States dollars (“USD”)/RMB, Euro (“EUR”)/RMB and Hong Kong dollars (“HKD”)/RMB. 170 Zhengzhou Coal Mining Machinery Group Co., Ltd. Annual Report 2022 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements For the year ended 31 December 2022 2022 12 31 3 Financial risk factors (Continued) 3 (a) Market risk (Continued) (a) (i) Currency risk (Continued) (i) Sensitivity analysis The following table details the Group’s sensitivity to a 5% appreciation and depreciation in the relevant foreign currencies 5% 5% against RMB. The rate of 5% is the sensitivity rate used when reporting foreign currency risk internally to key management personnel and represents management’s assessment of the reasonably possible change in foreign exchange rates. The sensitivity analysis includes only outstanding foreign currency 5% denominated monetary items and adjusts their translation at the end of each reporting period for a 5% change in foreign 5% currency rates but does not consider the effect of derivative financial instruments. A positive number below indicates an increase in post-tax profit for the year and a negative number below indicates a decrease in profit for the year where the relevant foreign currencies change 5% against RMB. 31 December 2022 31 December 2021 2022 12 31 2021 12 31 USD EUR HKD USD EUR HKD RMB’000 RMB’000 RMB’000 RMB’000 RMB’000 RMB’000 If the currency strengthens against RMB 39,066 (5,903) 375 25,613 (8,008) 361 If the currency weakens against RMB (39,066) 5,903 (375) (25,613) 8,008 (361) 2022 171 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements For the year ended 31 December 2022 2022 12 31 3 Financial risk factors (Continued) 3 (a) Market risk (Continued) (a) (ii) Interest risk (ii) The Group is exposed to cash flow interest rate risk in relation 32 to variable-rate borrowings (see Note 32 for details). Currently, the Group does not have a specific policy to manage its interest rate risk, but management will closely monitor interest rate exposures and consider hedging significant interest rate risk should the need arise. The sensitivity analysis below has been determined based on the exposure to interest rates for variable-rate borrowings at the end of each reporting period and the excepted changes in interest rates taking place at the beginning of the financial year and being held constant throughout the reporting period. If the interest rates on variable-rate borrowings had been 50 50 basis points higher and all other variables were held constant, post-tax profit for the year would have decreased by: 2022 2021 2022 2021 RMB’000 RMB’000 Decrease in post-tax profit for the year (28,406) (22,586) The post-tax profit for the year would have increased by the 50 same amount as mentioned above if the interest rates on variable-rate borrowings had been 50 basis points lower and all other variables were held constant. 172 Zhengzhou Coal Mining Machinery Group Co., Ltd. Annual Report 2022 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements For the year ended 31 December 2022 2022 12 31 3 Financial risk factors (Continued) 3 (a) Market risk (Continued) (a) (iii) Price risk (iii) The Group’s exposure to equity securities price risk arises from investments held by the Group and classified in the statement of financial position either as at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI) (Note 23) or at fair value through 23 profit or loss (FVPL) (Note 23). To manage its price risk arising 23 from investments in equity securities, the Group diversifies its portfolio. Diversification of the portfolio is done in accordance with the limits set by the Group. The Group’s equity investments include both publicly traded investments and investments in unlisted companies. With the 10% change of the price of those equity securities 10% including both listed companies and unlisted companies, the Group’s other comprehensive income and profit before tax would increase or decrease by approximately RMB79.7 million 79.7 0.1 and RMB0.1 million (2021: RMB14.4 million and RMB0.1 2021 14.4 million respectively), respectively. 0.1 (b) Credit risk (b) Credit risk arises from trade and other receivables, finance lease receivables, long-term receivables, structured deposits, derivative assets, loans receivable from associates and a joint venture, pledged bank deposit, cash and cash equivalents. To manage the risk with respect to pledged bank deposit, cash and cash equivalents, structured deposits and derivative assets, the Group placed them in or entered into the contract with the banks with high reputation. The Group has policies in place to ensure that sales are made to reputable and creditworthy customers with an appropriate financial strength, credit history and an appropriate percentage of down payments. It also has other monitoring procedures to ensure that follow-up action is taken to recover overdue debts. 2022 173 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements For the year ended 31 December 2022 2022 12 31 3 Financial risk factors (Continued) 3 (b) Credit risk (Continued) (b) In addition, the Group reviews regularly the authorisation of credit limits to individual customers and recoverable amount of each individual trade receivables to ensure that adequate impairment losses are made for irrecoverable amounts. In respect of the business of manufacture of coal mining machinery, the Group generally receives advances in the form of notes receivable or cash from 30% customers (which approximate 30% of the contract price) before 180 delivery of its product and allows a credit period of 180 days to its 0 90 customers for the remaining contract price. In respect of auto parts, normally a credit period of 0 to 90 days is granted to its customers. During the year, the Group has endorsed and derecognised certain notes receivable for the settlement of trade and other payables with full recourse. In the opinion of the directors of the Company, the risk of the default in payment of the endorsed notes receivable is low because all endorsed notes receivable are issued and guaranteed by reputable PRC banks. The Group considers the probability of default upon initial recognition of asset and whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk on an ongoing basis throughout each reporting period. To assess whether there is a significant increase in credit risk, the Group compares the risk of default occurring on the asset as at 1 the reporting date with the risk of default as at the date of initial 5 recognition. The expected credit loss rates are determined based on historical credit losses experienced from the past 1 to 5 years and are adjusted to reflect current and forward-looking information such as macroeconomic factors affecting the ability of the customers to settle the receivables. It considers available reasonable and supportive forwarding-looking information. Especially the following indicators are incorporated: actual or expected significant adverse changes in business, financial or economic conditions that are expected to cause a significant change to the counterparties’ ability to meet its obligations actual or expected significant changes in the operating results of counterparties significant increases in credit risk on other financial instruments of counterparties significant changes in the expected performance and behaviour of counterparties, including changes in the payment status of counterparties in the Group and changes in the operating results of the counterparties. 174 Zhengzhou Coal Mining Machinery Group Co., Ltd. Annual Report 2022 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements For the year ended 31 December 2022 2022 12 31 3 Financial risk factors (Continued) 3 (b) Credit risk (Continued) (b) The Group has the receivables from different customers and debtors operate in different industries. In the meantime, customer portfolio basis are also different between China and other countries. Thus, the Group classified the above assets into below categories: Category 1: trade receivables – coal mining machinery group 1 Category 2: trade receivables – ASIMCO group 2 Category 3: trade receivables – SEG Automotive Germany 3 SEG Automotive GmbH (“SEG”) and its subsidiaries (“SEG group”) Germany GmbH SEG SEG Category 4: notes receivables – commercial notes 4 Category 5: notes receivables – bank accepted notes 5 Category 6: finance lease receivables and long-term receivables 6 Category 7: other receivables 7 Category 8: transferred trade receivables 8 Category 9: financial assets at fair value through profit or loss 9 2022 175 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements For the year ended 31 December 2022 2022 12 31 3 Financial risk factors (Continued) 3 (b) Credit risk (Continued) (b) (i) Trade receivables (i) The Group applies the IFRS 9 simplified approach to measuring 9 expected credit losses which uses a lifetime expected loss allowance for all trade receivables. To measure the expected credit losses, trade receivables have been grouped based on shared credit risk characteristics and the days past due. The expected loss rates are based on the payment profiles of 2022 12 31 sales over a period of 12 to 36 month before 31 December 2021 12 31 12 36 2022 or 31 December 2021 respectively and the corresponding historical credit losses experienced within this period. The historical loss rates are adjusted to reflect current and forward- looking information on macroeconomic factors affecting the ability of the customers to settle the receivables. The Group has identified the Producer Price Index (“PPI”) of coal mining and washing industry and Gross Domestic Product (“GDP”) to be the most relevant factors for coal mining machinery group, and general PPI and GDP of the countries in which it sells its goods and services to be the most relevant factors for auto parts group, and accordingly adjusts the historical loss rates based on expected changes in these factors. Trade receivables and contract assets are written off when there is no reasonable expectation of recovery. Indicators that there is no reasonable expectation of recovery include, amongst others, the failure of a debtor to engage in a repayment plan with the Group. Impairment losses on trade receivables and contract assets are presented as net impairment losses within operating profit. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off are credited against the same line item. 176 Zhengzhou Coal Mining Machinery Group Co., Ltd.

The Group has provided financial leasing or long term payment plan to certain customers because these customers are mainly state owned companies or guaranteed by third parties with special credit profile. The Group has granted a relatively long repayment plan to the customers based on the credit assessment. The Group assesses the credit losses of finance lease receivables and long-term receivables individually using simplified 2022 12 31 approach. As at 31 December 2022, RMB93 million (2021: RMB89 million) were provided as life time loss allowance for 93 2021 89 finance lease receivables and long-term receivables. (iv) Other receivables (iv) Category 7: Other receivables 7 The Group applies the IFRS 9 three-stage approach to measure 9 expected credit loss (“ECL”). Other receivables comprise: advances to staff, deposit and others. Since the credit risk of other receivables are considered not significantly increase since initial recognition, therefore the impairment provision is determined as 12 months ECL. As at 31 December 2022, 12 RMB106 million (2021: RMB39 million) were provided as loss 2022 12 31 allowance for other receivables. 106 2021 39 2022 179 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements For the year ended 31 December 2022 2022 12 31 3 Financial risk factors (Continued) 3 (b) Credit risk (Continued) (b) (v) Transferred trade receivables (v) Category 8: Transferred trade receivables 8 Please refer to Note 34 for the detailed description of transferred trade receivables. The Group assesses the credit 34 loss of transferred trade receivables individually using simplified 2022 approach. As at 31 December 2022 and 2021, the related loss 2021 12 31 allowance was immaterial. (vi) Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss (vi) Category 9: Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss 9 The Group is also exposed to credit risk in relation to debt investments that are measured at fair value through profit or loss. The maximum exposure at the end of the reporting period is the carrying amount of these investments of 5,228,176,000 2021 RMB5,228,176,000 (2021: RMB3,236,286,000). As at 31 3,236,286,000 2022 2021 12 December 2022 and 2021, the Group assesses the credit 31 loss of financial assets at fair value through profit or loss and no allowance needed as most of the investments are high rating bond investments in open market managed by reputable financial institutions. And management believe that except for the loss from fair value changes, there will be almost no significant losses from non-performance by these financial institutions. (c) Liquidity risk (c) The Group monitors and maintains a level of cash and cash equivalents deemed adequate by the management to finance the Group’s operations and mitigate the effects of fluctuations in cash flows. The management monitors the utilisation of bank borrowings and ensures compliance with loan covenants. The following table details the Group’s remaining contractual maturity for its non-derivative financial liabilities based on the agreed repayment terms. The table has been drawn up based on the undiscounted cash flows of financial liabilities based on the earliest date on which the Group is required to pay. The table includes both interest and principal cash flows. 180 Zhengzhou Coal Mining Machinery Group Co., Ltd.

In addition to the above, the Group is also exposed to liquidity risk in the next one year from each reporting date in relation to the maximum loss and cash outflows that may result from the Group’s endorsed notes receivable with full recourse should the issuing banks of these notes fail to honour their obligations, please refer to Note 42 42 for details. 2022 181 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements For the year ended 31 December 2022 2022 12 31 3 Financial risk factors (Continued) 3 (d) Fair value measurements of financial instruments (d) This note provides information about how the Group determines fair values of various financial assets and financial liabilities. Fair value of the Group’s financial assets and financial liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis. The table below analyses financial instruments carried at fair value, by valuation method. The different levels have been defined as follows: Level 1: The fair value of financial instruments traded in active 1 markets (such as publicly traded derivatives, and equity securities) is based on quoted market prices at the end of the reporting period. The quoted market price used for financial assets held by the Group is the current bid price. These instruments are included in level 1. 1 Level 2: The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded 2 in an active market (for example, over-the-counter derivatives) is determined using valuation techniques which maximise the use of observable market data and rely as little as possible on entity-specific estimates. If all significant inputs required to fair value an instrument are observable, the instrument is included in level 2. 2 Level 3: If one or more of the significant inputs is not based on 3 observable market data, the instrument is included in level 3. This is 3 the case for unlisted equity securities. Some of the Group’s financial assets and financial liabilities are measured at fair value at the end of each reporting period. The following table gives information about how the fair values of these financial assets and financial liabilities are determined (in particular, the valuation technique(s) and inputs used). 182 Zhengzhou Coal Mining Machinery Group Co., Ltd.

Management also needs to exercise judgement in applying the Group’s accounting policies. Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated. They are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that may have a financial impact on the entity and that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. The following are the critical judgements, apart from those involving estimations (see below), that the directors have made in the process of applying the entity’s accounting policies and that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in financial statements. Estimated impairment of trade receivables The Group makes provision for impairment of receivables based on 3 assumptions about risk of default and expected loss rates (Note 3). The Group uses judgement in making these assumptions and selecting the inputs to the impairment calculation, based on the Group’s past history, existing market conditions as well as forward-looking estimates at the date of the statement of financial position. In making the judgement, management considers available reasonable and supportive forwarding- looking information such as actual or expected significant changes in the operating results of customers, actual or expected significant adverse changes in business and customers’ financial position. At every reporting date the historical observed default rates are updated and changes in the forward-looking estimates are analysed by the Group’s management. Impairment of goodwill Determining whether goodwill is impaired requires an estimation of the value-in-use of the cash-generating units (“CGUs”) to which goodwill has been allocated. The value-in-use calculation requires the Group to estimate the future cash flows expected to arise from the cash-generating units and also to choose a suitable discount rate in order to calculate the present value. Where the actual future cash flows are less than expected, 2022 12 31 a material impairment loss may arise. The carrying amount of goodwill at 131,905,000 2021 412,850,000 31 December 2022 was RMB131,905,000 (2021: RMB412,850,000). 19 Further details are set out in Note 19. 186 Zhengzhou Coal Mining Machinery Group Co., Ltd. Annual Report 2022 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements For the year ended 31 December 2022 2022 12 31 4 CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS AND KEY 4 SOURCES OF ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY (Continued) Impairment of intangible assets The management considers the potential impairment based on the recoverable amount. The intangible assets with finite useful lives are reviewed for impairment when events or circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable. Factors that would indicate potential impairment may include, but are not limited to, the significant change in technology associated with the intangible assets. Determining whether intangible assets is impaired requires an estimation of the recoverable amount of the CGUs to which intangible assets belong. The recoverable amount of CGUs at the end of the reporting period is based on the value in use calculation which requires the management of the Group to estimate the future cash flows expected to arise from the CGUs and a suitable discount rate in order to calculate the present value. Where the actual future cash flows are less than expected, a material impairment loss may arise. Residual values of property and plant and equipment The Group estimates the residual values and related depreciation charges for its items of property, plant and equipment. This estimate is based on the management’s experience of the actual useful lives and residual values of items of property, plant and equipment of similar nature and functions. It could change significantly as a result of technical innovations and actions of its competitors. The management will increase the depreciation charge where useful lives and residual values are less than previously estimated. Estimation of defined benefit pension obligation The present value of the pension obligations depends on a number of factors that are determined on an actuarial basis using a number of assumptions. Any changes in these assumptions will impact the carrying amount of pension obligations. Details of key assumptions and impact of 35 possible changes in key assumptions are disclosed in Note 35. 2022 187 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements For the year ended 31 December 2022 2022 12 31 4 CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS AND KEY 4 SOURCES OF ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY (Continued) Estimation of provision The Group makes provisions for product warranty (only assurance type), onerous contracts and restructuring cost. Management estimates the related provisions based on contract terms, available knowledge and past experience. The Group recognises provisions to the extent that it has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of a past event; it is more likely than not that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation; and that the amount can be reliably estimated. As for onerous contracts, the Group assessed at the date of the statement of financial position on whether unavoidable costs of meeting contractual obligations have exceeded the economic benefits expected to be received, and made provision for these onerous contracts based on the estimated least net cost of exiting from the contracts. Impairment of property, plant and equipment, right-of- use assets and investment properties The Group reviews the carrying amounts of its property, plant and equipment, right-of-use assets and investment properties to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. Determining whether property, plant and equipment, right-of-use assets and investment properties are impaired requires an estimation of the recoverable amount, which is the higher of value-in-use of the assets and the fair value less costs of disposal. The value-in-use calculation requires the entity to estimate the future cash flows expected to arise from the continuing use of the assets and from its ultimate disposal and a suitable discount rate in order to calculate the present value. Where the actual future cash flows are less than expected, a material impairment loss may arise. Deferred income tax assets Deferred income tax assets are recognised for all unused tax losses to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the losses can be utilised. Significant management judgement is required to determine the amount of deferred income tax assets that can be recognised, based upon the likely timing, the applicable tax rates, and level of future taxable profits together with future tax planning strategies. 24 Further details are set out in Note 24. Estimation of the fair value of certain financial assets The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market is determined using valuation techniques. The Group uses its judgement to select a variety of methods and make assumptions that are mainly based on market conditions existing at the end of each reporting period 188 Zhengzhou Coal Mining Machinery Group Co., Ltd.

The defined benefit plans are funded or unfunded pension systems or systems financed by insurance premiums. The major pension and post-retirement medical care plans are described below. These plans are subject to actuarial risks, such as longevity risks, interest fluctuation risks and capital market risks. Germany The pension scheme SEG VORSORGE plan (former Bosch VORSORGE SEG VORSORGE Bosch Plan), which was introduced on January 1, 2006, is a defined VORSORGE 2006 1 1 benefit including interest with salary-based contributions. The SEG SEG VORSORGE Plan is partly funded via an external pension fund. The VORSORGE value of the assets of the external pension fund is offset against the pension obligation calculated using the projected unit credit method. During the vesting period, employer and employee contributions are added to the assets of pension fund up to the tax-allowed ceiling. Contributions that exceed the tax-allowed ceiling are allocated to the unfunded obligation. The benefit amount rises in line with the performance of the pension fund. Grandfather provisions were Bosch VORSORGE transferred to the former Bosch VORSORGE Plan. For a constantly decreasing number of members of the workforce in the vesting period, a transitional arrangement guarantees a fixed rate of return on the defined benefit obligation. On reaching retirement, or in the event of occupational disability or death, the earned benefits are paid out in the form of a lump-sum payment, pension payments, or a lifelong annuity. India The Gratuity Plan in India provides a lump sum benefit to employees upon leaving for any reason. The benefit is 15 days of the final base salary for each year of service upon retirement or termination 5 provided the employee has worked for the company for at least 5 15 years. In the case of death or disability during active employment, there is no minimum service requirement to receive the benefit, and the lump sum amount is 30 days of the final base salary for each 30 year of service plus 21 days of the final base salary for each expected future year of service had the death or disability not occurred. There is 21 a benefit ceiling of one million Indian rupees except for management 1998 5 7 employees hired before 7 May 1998 who have no benefit ceiling. 2022 237 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements For the year ended 31 December 2022 2022 12 31 35 Employee benefit obligations (Continued) 35 (a) Defined benefit pension plan (Continued) (a) The development of the net liability of the defined benefit obligation is presented in the following table: Impact of minimum Present value Present value funding Fair value of of funded of unfunded requirement/ plan assets obligations obligations asset ceiling Net value At 1 January 2021 2021 1 1 681,503 (887,997) (1,235) – (207,729) Current Period: 6,321 (58,408) (155) – (52,242) Current service cost – – – – – Interest expense/(income) – (49,951) (146) – (50,097) Past service cost and gains and losses on settlements 6,321 (8,457) (9) – (2,145) Remeasurements: 57,333 15,377 488 – 73,198 Return on plan assets, excluding amounts included in interest income 57,333 – – – 57,333 Loss from change in demographic assumptions – 95 – – 95 Loss from change in financial assumptions – 35,927 64 – 35,991 Experience gains – (20,645) 424 – (20,221) Change in asset ceiling, excluding amounts included in interest expense – – – – – Currency translation differences (67,597) 85,964 140 – 18,489 Contributions: (24,247) – – – (24,247) Employers (24,247) – – – (24,247) Plan participants – – – – – Payments from plans: (16,098) 44,162 – – 28,064 Benefit payments (16,098) 44,162 – – 28,064 Settlements – – – – – Others – – (625) – (625) At 31 December 2021 2021 12 31 637,215 (800,920) (1,387) – (165,092) 238 Zhengzhou Coal Mining Machinery Group Co., Ltd.
