Section III Corporate Business Overview
I. Major Businesses Engaged in during the Report Period
1. Major businesses and position in industry
Currently, Gree runs two major brands of GREE and TOSOT, covering a wide range of
products such as residential air conditioners, central air conditioners, air source water
heaters, home appliances, industrial products and mobile phones. Gree has a number of
subsidiaries including Landa Compressor, Gree Electrical, Kaibang Motor, Xinyuan
Electronics, Intelligent Equipment, Precision Mould, and Renewable Resources, covering
the whole industry chain from upstream production of components to downstream
recycling of waste products.
Gree has developed products covering 20 major categories, 400 series and over 12,700
varieties, which have been sold to over 300 million users in over 160 countries and regions.
Here, the production and sales volume of Gree residential air conditioners has been No.1
in the air conditioner industry of China for 22 consecutive years since 1995, and taken the
lead in the world for 12 years since 2005.
According to the statistics of ChinaIOL.com, the domestic market share of Gree residential
air conditioners reached 42.73% in 2016. According to the statistics of news.ehvacr.com,
the domestic market share of Gree commercial air conditioners reached 16.2% and
maintained the first place for five consecutive years.
2. Industry Overview
According to the statistics of ChinaIOL.com, due to the downward pressure on the overall
economy in China, the cumulative domestic sales volume of residential air conditioners
was 60,485,600 sets in 2016, indicating a year-on-year drop of 3.64%. Thanks to the
improved economic conditions abroad, the export volume increased by 9.74% as
compared to 2015, and 47,927,400 sets of air conditioners have been exported in total.
Among residential air conditioners, in addition to the intelligent characteristic of residential
air conditioners that becomes more and more significant, product energy efficiency, energy
saving and environmental protection also turn to be important conditions for a brand to
GREE ELECTRIC APPLIANCES, INC. OF ZHUHAI Annual Report 2016
have a foothold in the market.
According to the statistics of aircon.com.cn, the overall capacity of China's central air
conditioner market in 2016 was about RMB70 billion, indicating an increase of 10% over
2015, and a trend of recovery on the market. The VRF units and unitary units were still the
products that drove the market growth in 2016. \"Coal-to-electricity\" became one of the
most noteworthy events in the HVAC industry in 2016. The significance of the air-source
heat pump water heater, the major product of \"coal-to-electricity\", is self-evident to the
whole HVAC industry. Especially under the situation that the central air conditioning project
market is relatively sluggish, it seems that \"coal-to-electricity\" brings another possibility for
the development of central air conditioner manufacturing enterprises.
In terms of brand concentration, as the industry brand concentration was further
enhanced, the brands of domestic home appliance series and those of domestic chillers
were combined into national brands to compete with American and European brands and
Japanese and Korean brands, creating a situation of tripartite confrontation. The overall
market share of nine major national brands including Gree has reached about 40%, far
higher than that of the other two camps, wherein Gree ranked first with the market share
of 16.2%.

Section IV Discussion and Analysis of Business Operation
I. Overview
(I) General description
The year of 2016 is the first year of China's Thirteenth Five-year Plan, as well as the first
year of supply-side reform and a crucial year for the home appliance industry.
This year is also the first year for Gree to start transformation. By virtue of its courage and
wisdom of reform, Gree regarded \"transformation, breakthrough and innovation\" as its
guiding ideology of annual operations, objectively analyzed the economic situation at
home and abroad, actively adapted itself to changes of the times, and sped up industrial
transformation in the fields such as intelligent equipment, smart home and mould on the
precondition of consolidating the existing air conditioner market share. The company's net
profit attributable to shareholders of the listed company in the year increased by 23.05%
over last year when the overall income was kept basically stable.
This year Gree also became one of the first enterprises in the responsibility extension pilot
list of electric appliance and electronic product manufacturers released by the Ministry of
Industry and Information Technology. This greatly affirmed the performance of Gree in the
sustainable development and recycling field of waste electronic products and electric
appliances, and played an important role in development of the renewable resource
industry in the entire home appliance industry and green transformation of the electric
appliance and electronic product industry.
Gree did hard work in the year, and adopted environment-friendly practices to design and
produce healthy, energy-saving and green products. Its three independently developed
technologies or products, namely, efficient permanent magnet synchronous inverter
centrifugal ice cool storage unit of dual operating conditions, cooling technology at the

products for all types of buildings. Moreover, it won the bid for \"coal-to-electricity\" projects
in Beijing, Shanxi and Tianjin many times, giving full play to the scale effect of industry
giants and winning the market opportunities and a good reputation among users. The
accumulative quantity of authorized patents of the company reached 15,862 as of
December 31, 2016, and the total quantity of authorized invention patents reached 911 in
the whole year of 2016. Gree ranked No.7 in the national invention patent list and No.1 in
the home appliance industry in 2016.

increased the wage of each employee by RMB1,000. From shareholders to installation
workers and to employees, Gree's benefits were distributed to all the stakeholders so that
they shared the development achievements and the social responsibility was further
highlighted.
Gree stood out from numerous Asian famous brands, and was appraised as \"the most
trusted brand in Asia\" by the international brand consulting group of America in 2016. In
addition, in the \"2016 China Brand Value Evaluation Information Session\" held by the
China Council for Brand Development and other organizations jointly, Gree got the first
place in the light industry group by relying on its brand strength of 967 and brand value of
RMB54.9 billion. Gree's air conditioners were also stationed in all kinds of Olympic venues

Rio Olympic Games project. \"Direct Marketing Storm on November 11\"conducted by Gree
was awarded the title of \"Ten Major Influential Events of 2016 China Business Leader
Festival\" by the Southern Metropolis Daily.
In 2016, the company regarded \"transformation, breakthrough and innovation\" as its
guiding ideology of annual operations, objectively analyzed the economic situation at
home and abroad, and actively adapted itself to changes of the times. In the
macroenvironment of industrial destocking and upgrading of air conditioning products,
Gree made great efforts continuously to make innovation and strive for excellence,
achieved a breakthrough in perspectives of informatization, intelligence, diversity and
multiple channels by carrying out the innovation driven strategy, promoting the diversified

(2) Operating cycle
The normal operating cycle refers to the period from the Company’s purchase of
assets used for processing to achieving of cash or cash equivalent. The Company
regards 12 months as one operating cycle and uses it as the liquidity classification
GREE ELECTRIC APPLIANCES, INC. OF ZHUHAI Annual Report 2016
standard for assets and liabilities.
(3) Functional currency
RMB is the functional currency used by the Company.
(4) Accounting treatment of business combination involving enterprises
under common control and business combination not involving enterprises
under common control
Business combination refers to the transaction or event of combining two or more
independent enterprises to form a reporting entity. Business combination is
classified into business combination involving enterprises under common control
and business combination not involving enterprises under common control.
1. Business combination involving enterprises under common control
A business combination involving enterprises under common control is a business
combination in which all of the combining enterprises are ultimately controlled by
the same party or parties both before and after the combination, and that control is
not transitory. For business combination involving enterprises under common
control, the party that obtains the right to control other enterprises participating in
the combination on the combination date is the combining party, and other
enterprises participating in the combination are the combined party. The
combination date refers to the date on which the combining party actually obtains
the right to control the combined party.
Where business combination involving enterprises under common control arises
from one transaction or equities of invested entities under common control are
obtained step by step through multiple transactions and these transactions belong to
a package deal, the Company will recognize the cost of combination according to
the share of carrying amount of net assets obtained for the combined party in the
ultimate controlling party’s consolidated financial statements on the combination
date. The difference between the carrying amount of the consideration paid for the
combination (or total par value of the issued stocks) and the combination cost is
adjusted to capital reserve; if the capital reserve is not sufficient to absorb the
difference, any excess is adjusted against retained earnings.
Costs incurred that are attributable to the business combination made by the
GREE ELECTRIC APPLIANCES, INC. OF ZHUHAI Annual Report 2016
Company, including intermediary costs such as the audit fee, legal service charge
and appraisal and consultation costs, and other related overhead expenses are
charged to profits or losses in the period in which they are incurred; the transaction
expenses directly attributable to the consideration paid for the combination through
issuance of equity instruments are credited against the capital reserve; if the
capital reserve is not sufficient, any excess is adjusted against retained earnings;
the transaction expenses directly attributable to the consideration paid for the
combination through issuance of debt instruments are recorded into the initially
recognized amount of debt instruments. Where the equities of invested entities
under common control are obtained step by step through multiple transactions to
achieve business combination but these transactions do not belong to a package
deal, the Company will recognize the cost of combination according to the share of
carrying amount of net assets to be enjoyed by the combined party after the
combination in the ultimate controlling party’s consolidated financial statements on
the combination date. The difference between the combination cost and the sum of
the carrying amount of long-term equity investments prior to the combination plus
the carrying amount of the consideration newly paid for further acquisition of
shares on the date of combination is adjusted to capital reserve (capital premium
or capital stock premium); if the capital reserve is not sufficient to absorb the
difference, any excess is adjusted against retained earnings. For the equity
investment held before the date of combination, accounting treatment is not
performed temporarily for other comprehensive incomes that are accounted using
the equity method or recognized using financial instruments and accounted
according to the measurement standard for recognition. When this investment is
disposed of, accounting treatment is conducted using the basis the same as that
used by the invested entity to directly dispose of relevant assets or liabilities. For
other changes in owners’ equities other than the net profits/losses, other
comprehensive income and profit distribution in net assets of the invested entity
that are recognized because of accounting using the equity method, accounting
treatment is not conducted temporarily; they shall be transferred to the profits and
losses of the current period at the time of disposing of this investment.
GREE ELECTRIC APPLIANCES, INC. OF ZHUHAI Annual Report 2016
2. Business combination not involving enterprises under common control
A business combination not involving enterprises under common control is a
business combination in which all of the combining enterprises are not ultimately
controlled by the same party or parties both before and after the combination. For
business combination not involving enterprises under common control, the party
that obtains the right to control other enterprises participating in the combination on
the date of combination is the acquiring party, and other enterprises participating in
the combination are the acquired party. The date of acquisition refers to the date
on which the acquiring party actually obtains the right to control the acquired party.
For the business combination implemented through one transaction, the cost of
business combination refers to the fair value of assets paid, liabilities incurred or
assumed and equity securities issued by the Company on the date of acquisition
for obtaining the right to control the acquired party. On the date of acquisition, the
assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities obtained by the Company from the
acquired party are recognized at the fair value.
For a business combination realized by two or more transactions of exchange, the
accounting treatment for the combination costs shall be made by distinguishing
individual financial statements and consolidated financial statements:
In the individual financial statements, where the held stocks are accounted using
the equity method prior to the date of acquisition, the cost of combination of the
investment is the aggregate of the carrying amount of the equity investment of the
acquired party held before the date of acquisition and the investment cost newly
increased on the date of acquisition. For other related comprehensive income,
accounting treatment is performed during disposal of the investment using the
basis the same as that used by the invested entity to directly dispose of relevant
assets or liabilities; the owner's equity that is recognized due to other changes in
owners’ equities other than the net profits/losses, other comprehensive income
and profit distribution of the invested entity is accordingly transferred to the profits
and losses of the current period at the time of disposing of this investment. Where
the equity investment held before the date of acquisition is recognized using
financial instruments and undergoes accounting treatment according to the
measurement standard, the cost of combination of the investment is the aggregate
GREE ELECTRIC APPLIANCES, INC. OF ZHUHAI Annual Report 2016
of the fair value of the equity investment recognized according to this standard and
the newly increased investment cost. The difference between the fair value of the
originally held stocks and the carrying amount and all the cumulative fair value
changes originally recorded into other comprehensive income are transferred to
the investment income of the current period.
In the consolidated financial statements, the stocks of the acquired party held
before the date of acquisition shall be remeasured based on the fair value of such
stocks on the date of acquisition, and the difference between their fair value and
carrying amount shall be charged to the investment income of the current period;
where the stocks of the acquired party held before the date of acquisition involve
other comprehensive income under accounting of the equity method and other
changes in owners’ equities other than the net profits/losses, other comprehensive
income and profit distribution, other comprehensive income and other changes in
owners’ equities concerned with them shall be transferred to the investment
income in the period in which the date of acquisition is included (excluding other
comprehensive income arising from changes in the net assets or net liabilities of
the benefit plan remeasured and redefined by the invested entity). The summation
of the fair value of the stocks of the acquired party held before the date of
acquisition on the date of acquisition and newly increased investment costs on the
date of acquisition shall be the combination cost of the investment.
Costs incurred that are attributable to the business combination made by the
Company, including intermediary costs such as the audit fee, legal service charge,
and appraisal and consultation costs, and other related overhead expenses are
charged to profits or losses in the period in which they are incurred. The
transaction expenses directly attributable to the consideration paid for the
combination through issuance of equity instruments are credited against the
capital reserve; if the capital reserve is not sufficient, any excess is adjusted
against retained earnings; the transaction expenses directly attributable to the
consideration paid for the combination through issuance of debt instruments are
recorded into the initially recognized amount of debt instruments.
In the Company, the positive balance between the business combination cost and
the fair value of the identifiable net assets obtained by the Company from the
acquired party shall be recognized as business reputation and subsequently
GREE ELECTRIC APPLIANCES, INC. OF ZHUHAI Annual Report 2016
measured after the accumulated provision for impairment is deducted from the
cost; the negative balance between the business combination cost and the fair
value of the identifiable net assets obtained by the Company from the acquired
party shall be charged to profits or losses of the current period after being checked.
3. Principle of judging whether multiple transactions are “a package deal”
When the terms and conditions of multiple transactions and the economic impact
thereof accord with one or more of the following cases, usually it indicates that
these transactions shall undergo accounting treatment as “a package deal”: (1)
these transactions are concluded at the same time or concluded in consideration
of mutual influence; (2) only the whole of these transactions can achieve a
complete business result; (3) occurrence of one transaction depends on
occurrence of at least one of the other transactions; (4) one transaction is not
economical when considered separately, but economical when taken into account
together with other transactions.
(5) Preparation of consolidated financial statements
1. Principle of determining the scope of consolidated financial statements
The consolidation scope of consolidated financial statements shall be determined
on the basis of control. Control means that the Company owns the power to the
invested entity, enjoys variable return by participating relevant activities of the
invested entity, and has the capacity of using the power to the invested entity to
affect its return amount.
2. Preparation of consolidated financial statements
The consolidated financial statements of the Company are prepared by the
Company based on individual financial statements of the Company and
subsidiaries and according to other relevant data. During preparation of
consolidated financial statements, the accounting policy and accounting period of
the Company shall be consistent with those of subsidiaries, and the inter-company
major transactions and balances shall be offset.
For the subsidiary added due to business combination involving enterprises under
common control in the Report Period, the Company adjusts the amount at the
beginning of the period in the consolidated balance sheet, incorporates the
GREE ELECTRIC APPLIANCES, INC. OF ZHUHAI Annual Report 2016
revenue, expense and profit of this subsidiary from the beginning of the period for
consolidation to the end of the report period into the consolidated profit statement,
includes its cash flow into the consolidated cash flow statement, and adjusts
relevant items in the comparative statements; for the subsidiary added due to
business combination not involving enterprises under common control, the
Company does not adjust the amount at the beginning of the period in the
consolidated balance sheet, but only incorporates the revenue, expense and profit
of this subsidiary from the date of acquisition to the end of report period into the
consolidated profit statement and its cash flow into the consolidated cash flow
statement.
The portion of shareholders' equity of the subsidiaries that isn’t attributable to the
Company shall be separately presented as the minority shareholders' equity under
the shareholders' equity in the consolidated balance sheet. The share of net profits
or losses of the subsidiaries in the current period that is attributable to the minority
shareholders' equity shall be presented as the item of “Minority interest income”
under the net profit in the consolidated profit statement. The share of
comprehensive income of the subsidiaries in the current period that is attributable
to the minority shareholders' equity shall be presented as the item of “Total
comprehensive income attributable to minority shareholders” under the total
comprehensive income in the consolidated profit statement. Where the losses of a
subsidiary undertaken by minority shareholders exceed the share enjoyed by
minority shareholders in the owners’ equities of this subsidiary at the beginning of
the period, the balance shall be still adjusted against the minority shareholders'
equity.
For acquisition of the subsidiary’s stocks owned by minority shareholders thereof,
in the consolidated financial statements, the difference between the long-term
equity investment newly obtained because of acquisition of minority shareholders’
stocks and the share of net assets of the subsidiary to be enjoyed and
continuously calculated according to the proportion of newly added shares from
the acquisition date or consolidation date is adjusted to capital reserve; if the
capital reserve is not sufficient to absorb the difference, any excess is adjusted
against retained earnings.
GREE ELECTRIC APPLIANCES, INC. OF ZHUHAI Annual Report 2016
For the transaction for which a part of equity investment is disposed of but the right
to control this subsidiary is not lost, in the consolidated financial statements, the
difference between the disposal price and the share of net assets of the subsidiary
to be enjoyed accordingly for disposal of the long-term equity investment and
continuously calculated from the acquisition date or consolidation date is adjusted
to capital reserve (capital premium or capital stock premium); if the capital reserve
is not sufficient to absorb the difference, any excess is adjusted against retained
earnings.
Where the right to control the original subsidiary is lost due to disposal of a part of
equity investment or other reasons, the remaining stocks shall be remeasured at
their fair value on the date of losing the control right; the result of the sum of the
consideration obtained from the equity disposal plus the fair value of remaining
stocks, minus the share of net assets of the original subsidiary that should be
enjoyed and is continuously calculated according to the original proportion of held
shares from the acquisition date, shall be charged to the investment income in the
period when the control right is lost, and adjusted against the business reputation
at the same time; other comprehensive income related to the original subsidiary’s
equity investment shall be transferred to the investment income of the current
period when the control right is lost.
Where the equity investment for a subsidiary is disposed of step by step through
multiple transactions till the control right is lost and all the transactions belong to a
package deal, accounting treatment shall be performed for the transactions by
deeming all the transactions as one item for disposing of the subsidiary and losing
the control right; however, prior to loss of the control right, the difference between
every disposal price and the share of net assets of this subsidiary to be enjoyed
accordingly for investment disposal shall be recognized as other comprehensive
income in the consolidated financial statements and, at the time of losing the
control right, be jointly transferred to the profits or losses in the period when the
control right is lost.
Where the equity investment for a subsidiary is disposed of step by step through
multiple transactions till the control right is lost and the transactions do not belong
to a package deal, all the transactions before loss of the right to control the
GREE ELECTRIC APPLIANCES, INC. OF ZHUHAI Annual Report 2016
subsidiary shall be handled according to the regulations of the Company on partial
disposal of the subsidiary’s long-term equity investment provided that the
Company does not lose the right to control the subsidiary.
This report period does not involve buying-in and selling-out of the same
subsidiary’s stocks, or selling-out and buying-in in turn.
(6) Joint arrangement classification and accounting treatment of co-
management
Joint arrangement refers to the arrangement for joint control by two or more
participants.
1. Joint arrangement classification
Joint arrangement is classified into co-management and contractual enterprise.
Co-management refers to the joint arrangement where the parties to the venture
enjoy relevant assets of this arrangement and assume relevant liabilities of this
arrangement. Contractual enterprise refers to the joint arrangement where the
parties to the venture only enjoy rights to net assets of this arrangement.
2. Accounting treatment of co-management
(1) The Company recognizes the following items related to quantum of interest in
co-management and performs accounting treatment in accordance with provisions
of the corresponding Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises:
① Independently held assets, as well as the jointly held assets to be recognized
according to the share of the Company;
② Independently undertaken liabilities, as well as the jointly undertaken liabilities
to be recognized according to the share of the Company;
③ Revenue generated by selling the output share of co-management that is
enjoyed by the Company;
④ Revenue that is generated by selling the output during co-management and
recognized according to the share of the Company;
⑤ Independently incurred expense, as well as the expense incurred by co-
management and recognized according to the share of the Company.
GREE ELECTRIC APPLIANCES, INC. OF ZHUHAI Annual Report 2016
(2) Where the Company puts assets into or sells assets to the parties to co-
management (except that the assets constitute business), before the said assets
are sold to a third party by the parties to co-management, the Company
recognizes only the part in the profits or losses arising from this transaction that is
attributable to other participants in the co-management. In case that the put or sold
assets involve the asset impairment loss complying with provisions in the
Accounting Standard for Business Enterprises No. 8 - Impairment of Assets, the
Company shall recognize the said loss in full.
(3) Where the Company purchases assets from the parties to co-management
(except that the assets constitute business), before said assets are sold to a third
party, the Company recognizes only the part in the profits or losses arising from
this transaction that is attributable to other participants in the co-management. In
case that the purchased assets involve the asset impairment loss complying with
provisions in the Accounting Standard for Business Enterprises No. 8 - Impairment
of Assets, the Company shall recognize this part of loss according to the share to
undertake.
(7) Accounting measurement attribute
1. Measurement attribute
The Company takes the accrual system as the basis of accounting and measures
the initial value using historical cost. The financial assets and liabilities measured
at their fair value and of which the variation is recorded into the profits and losses
of the current period and the financial assets available for sale and derivative
instruments shall be measured at their fair value; The inventories and fixed assets
for which the payment is delayed in excess of normal credit terms while they are
purchased shall be measured at their present value of their purchase price; The
inventories on which an impairment loss occurs shall be measured at their net
realizable value, and other assets on which an impairment loss occurs shall be
measured at their recoverable amount of their fair value and present value
(whichever is higher); The asset inventory surplus and other assets shall be
measured at their replacement cost.
GREE ELECTRIC APPLIANCES, INC. OF ZHUHAI Annual Report 2016
2. Items in the financial statements with their measurement attribute changing
during the period
There was no change in the accounting measurement attribute of the items in the
financial statements during the Report Period.
(8) Criteria for cash and cash equivalents
The cash refers to the enterprise's money on hand and deposits for payment at
any time. Cash equivalents refer to investments held by the enterprise which are
short in term (generally referring to those expiring within not more than 3 months
from the date of acquisition), high in liquidity, convertible to the known amount of
cash and insignificant in risk of change of value.
(9) Foreign currency transactions
1. Method of translation for foreign currency transactions
At the time of initial recognition of a foreign currency transaction of the Company,
the amount in the foreign currency shall be translated into the amount in RMB
currency at the spot exchange rate of the transaction date (generally referring to
the medial rate of foreign exchange quotation published by the People's Bank of
China at the date of transaction, the same below).
2. Treatment of monetary items of foreign currencies and non-monetary items of
foreign currencies on the balance sheet date
For the monetary items of foreign currencies, the translation is done according to
spot rate of the balance sheet date. The exchange difference generated from the
difference of spot rate of the current balance sheet date and the time of initial
recognition of a foreign currency or the previous balance sheet date is charged to
the profit or loss of the current period except that the exchange difference
generated from foreign currency borrowings relating to assets of which the
acquisition or production satisfies the capitalization conditions is capitalized in
accordance with the Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises No. 17 –
Borrowing Costs. For the non-monetary items of foreign currencies measured by
historical cost, translation is done according to spot rate of the transaction date
GREE ELECTRIC APPLIANCES, INC. OF ZHUHAI Annual Report 2016
without change in their amount in functional currency. Non-monetary items of
foreign currencies such as stocks and funds measured at their fair value are
translated as per the spot rate on the date when their fair value is confirmed. The
differences between the translated amounts in functional currency and the original
amounts in functional currency are recorded into current profits and losses as
fluctuation in fair value (including fluctuation in exchange rates).
3. Translation of foreign currency financial statements
The Company translates the financial statements expressed in foreign currency
into ones expressed in RMB currency according to the following provisions:
The asset and liability items in the balance sheets shall be translated at a spot
exchange rate on the balance sheet date; among the owners' equity items, except
the ones as \"undistributed profits\", others shall be translated at the spot exchange
rate at the time when they are incurred. The income and expense items in the
profit statements shall be translated at the average exchange rate. The balance
arisen from the translation of foreign currency financial statements in compliance
with the aforesaid method shall be presented separately under the owners' equity
item of the balance sheets. The foreign currency cash flow statement shall be
translated at the average exchange rate on the cash flow date. The amount of
influence of the exchange rate change on cashes shall be presented separately
under the adjusted item in the cash flow statement.
(10) Financial instruments
1. Basis for recognition of financial instruments
The term \"financial instruments\" refers to the contracts under which the financial
assets of an enterprise are formed and the financial liability or right instruments of
any other entity are formed. When the Company becomes a party to a financial
instrument contract, it recognizes a financial asset or financial liability.
Where a financial asset satisfies any of the following requirements, the recognition
of it shall be terminated: Where the contractual rights for collecting the cash flow of
the said financial asset are terminated; or where the said financial asset has been
GREE ELECTRIC APPLIANCES, INC. OF ZHUHAI Annual Report 2016
transferred and meets the conditions for recognizing the termination of financial
assets as provided for in Accounting Standards for Enterprises No. 23 - Transfer of
Financial Assets.
Only when the prevailing obligations of a financial liability are relieved in all or in
part may the recognition of the financial liability be terminated in all or partly.
2. Classification of financial assets and financial liabilities
Financial assets attributable to the Company are classified into the following four
categories according to their investment purpose and economic essence: ① The
financial assets which are measured at their fair values and the variation of which
is recorded into the profits and losses of the current period, including transactional
financial assets and the financial assets which are measured at their fair values
and of which the variation is included in the current profits and losses; ② The
investments which will be held to their maturity; ③ Loans and the account
receivables; and ④ Financial assets available for sale.
Financial liabilities shall be classified into the following two categories according to
their economic essence: ① The financial liabilities which are measured at their fair
values and of which the variation is included in the current profits and losses,
including transactional financial liabilities and the designated financial liabilities
which are measured at their fair values and of which the variation is included in the
current profits and losses; and ② Other financial liabilities.
3. Measurement of financial assets and financial liabilities
The financial assets and financial liabilities initially recognized by the Company
shall be measured at their fair values. For the financial assets and liabilities
measured at their fair values and of which the variation is recorded into the profits
and losses of the current period, the transaction expenses thereof shall be directly
recorded into the profits and losses of the current period; for other categories of
financial assets and financial liabilities, the transaction expenses thereof shall be
included into the initially recognized amount.
Subsequent measurement of financial assets and financial liabilities:
GREE ELECTRIC APPLIANCES, INC. OF ZHUHAI Annual Report 2016
(1) For the financial assets and financial liabilities measured at their fair values and
of which the variation is recorded into the profits and losses of the current period,
they shall be measured at their fair values, and the variation of their fair values
shall be recorded into the profits and losses of the current period.
(2) The investments held until their maturity and accounts receivable are
measured at their amortization cost by actual interest rate.
(3) The profits and losses arising from the subsequent measurement of the
financial assets available for sale at their fair value and the profits and losses
arising from the change in their fair value shall be included directly in the owner’s
equity with the exception of impairment losses and the exchange gains or losses
arising from foreign exchange conversion of monetary financial assets in any
foreign currency, and when the said financial asset is stopped from recognition
and is transferred out, it shall be recorded into the profits and losses of the current
period.
(4) The equity instrument investments for which there is no quoted price in the
active market and whose fair value cannot be reliably measured, and the
derivative financial assets which are connected with such equity instruments and
are settled by delivering the said equity instruments shall be measured at their
costs.
(5) The Company shall make subsequent measurement on other financial liabilities
on the basis of the post-amortization costs, with the exception of those under the
following circumstances:
① The derivative financial liabilities for which there is no quoted price in the
active market, which are connected with the equity instruments whose fair
value cannot be reliably measured and are settled by delivering the said
equity instruments shall be measured at their costs.
② For the financial guarantee contracts which are not designated as a financial
liability measured at its fair value and the variation thereof is recorded into
the profits and losses of the current period, and for the commitments to grant
GREE ELECTRIC APPLIANCES, INC. OF ZHUHAI Annual Report 2016
loans which are not designated to be measured at the fair value and of
which the variation is recorded into the profits and losses of the current
period and which will enjoy an interest rate lower than that of the market, a
subsequent measurement shall be made after they are initially recognized
according to the higher one of the following:
A. the amount as determined according to the Accounting Standards for
Enterprises No. 13 - Contingencies; or
B. the surplus of the initially recognized amount with the subtraction of
accumulative amortization as determined according to the principles of the
Accounting Standards for Enterprises No. 14 - Revenues.
4. Recognition of fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities
The fair value refers to the amount that is agreed upon by the two parties to fair
dealings who are familiar with the situation during assets exchange or
performance of debt.
(1) Financial instruments with the active market
The fair values of the financial assets and financial liabilities of financial
instruments which have the active market shall be recognized at their quoted
prices in the active market. The quoted prices in the active market refer to the
prices regularly obtained from stock exchanges, brokers, trade associations and
pricing service institutions, and represent the prices of market transactions that
actually occur in fair dealings. Quoted prices shall be determined according to the
following principles:
① In the active market, the quoted prices of the Company for the financial
assets it holds or the financial liabilities it plans to assume shall be the
present actual offer, while the quoted prices of the Company for the financial
assets it plans to acquire or the financial liabilities it has assumed shall be
the available charge.
② Where there is no available offer or charge for a financial asset or financial
liability, the enterprise shall adopt the market quoted price of the latest
GREE ELECTRIC APPLIANCES, INC. OF ZHUHAI Annual Report 2016
transaction or adjusted market quoted price of the latest transaction to
determine the fair value of the said financial asset or financial liability, unless
the enterprise has definite evidences to prove that the market quoted price
of the latest transaction is not a fair value.
(2) Where there is no active market for a financial asset or financial liability, the
Company shall adopt value appraisal techniques to determine its fair value. The
value appraisal techniques include the prices adopted by the parties, who are
familiar with the condition, in the latest market transaction upon their own free will,
the current fair value obtained by referring to other financial instruments of the
same essential nature, the cash flow capitalization method and the option pricing
model, etc.
5. Accrual method of the provision for impairment of financial assets
(1) Investments held until their maturity
Where an investment held until their maturity measured on the basis of post-
amortization costs is impaired, the carrying amount of the said investment held
until their maturity shall be written down to the present value of the predicted future
cash flow (excluding the loss of future credits not yet occurred) (the discount rate
adopts the original actual interest rate), and the amount as written down shall be
recognized as loss of the impairment of the asset and shall be recorded into the
profits and losses of the current period. When an impairment provision is made, an
impairment test shall be made on the investment held until their maturity with
significant single amounts. If any objective evidence shows that it has been
impaired, the impairment-related losses shall be recognized and shall be recorded
into the profits and losses of the current period. Where, upon independent test, the
investment held until their maturity (including those financial assets with significant
single amounts and those with insignificant amounts) has not been impaired, it
shall be included in a combination of investment held until their maturity with
similar risk features so as to conduct another impairment test. The investment held
until their maturity which has suffered from an impairment loss in any single
GREE ELECTRIC APPLIANCES, INC. OF ZHUHAI Annual Report 2016
amount shall not be included in any combination of financial assets with similar risk
features for any impairment test. Where any investment held until their maturity
measured on the basis of post-amortization costs is recognized by the Company
as having suffered from any impairment loss, if there is any objective evidence
proving that the value of the said investment held until their maturity has been
restored, and it is objectively related to the events that occur after such loss is
recognized, the impairment-related losses as originally recognized shall be
reversed and be recorded into the profits and losses of the current period.
However, the reversed carrying amount shall not be any more than the post-
amortization costs of the said investment held until their maturity on the day of
reverse under the assumption that no provision is made for the impairment.
(2) Accounts receivable
See the Notes 5 (11) for the impairment test and accrual method of the provision
for impairment of the accounts receivable.
(3) Disbursement of loans and advances
Loss provision shall be reserved for loans and advances according to the five level
classification of credit assets risks and loan provision rate standard:
Risks are classified for the Company's credit assets according to relevant
provisions of the financial regulation agencies. The standard risk coefficients are
as follows: 1.5% for the normal type, 3% for the concerned type, 30% for the
secondary type, 60% for the suspicious type, and 100% for the loss type. Besides,
in the document named Administrative Measures for the Loan Loss Reserves of
Commercial Banks issued by the China Banking Regulatory Commission through
Order [2011] No.4, the China Banking Regulatory Commission clearly put forward
that the basic standard of loan provision rate is 2.5%, the basic standard of
provision coverage ratio is 150%, and the higher one of the two shall prevail.
(4) Financial assets available for sale
① Available-for-sale financial assets measured at the fair value
GREE ELECTRIC APPLIANCES, INC. OF ZHUHAI Annual Report 2016
When a significant or non-transient decline in the fair value of equity instrument
investment available for sale is judged by comprehensively considering relevant
factors, a decline in the equity instrument available for sale has occurred. Here,
the “significant decline” means that the cumulative decline of fair value exceeds
20%; the “non-transient decline” means that the fair value has declined
continuously for over 12 months.
When a decline in the financial assets available for sale has occurred, the
cumulative loss generated from decline of fair value that had been recorded
directly into the owners' equity shall be removed from the owners' equity and shall
be recorded into the impairment loss. The said cumulative loss removed is the
balance obtained by deducting the recovered principal and amortized amount,
current fair value and the impairment loss originally charged to profits or losses
from the initial acquisition cost of the said assets.
For debt instrument investment available for sale for which the impairment loss
has been recognized, the recognized impairment loss shall be returned when there
is an increase of fair value in a subsequent period and the increase objectively
relates to events after impairment loss being recognized. When the impairment
loss reversal of the equity instrument investment available for sale is recognized
as other comprehensive income, the impairment loss reversal of the debt
instrument investment available for sale shall be charged to profits or losses of the
current period.
② Available-for-sale financial assets measured at cost
Where an equity instrument investment for which there is no quoted price in the
active market and whose fair value cannot be reliably measured, or a derivative
financial asset which is connected with the equity instrument and which must be
settled by delivering the equity instrument, suffers from any impairment, the gap
between the carrying amount of the equity instrument investment or the derivative
financial asset and the current value of the future cash flow of similar financial
assets capitalized according to the returns ratio of the market at the same time
GREE ELECTRIC APPLIANCES, INC. OF ZHUHAI Annual Report 2016
shall be recognized as impairment-related losses and be recorded into the profits
and losses of the current period, but cannot be returned.
6. Transfer of financial assets
The term \"transfer of financial assets\" refers to a company's transferring or
delivering a financial asset to a party (the transferee) other than the issuer of the
financial assets.
Where the Company has transferred nearly all of the risks and rewards related to
the ownership of the financial asset to the transferee, it shall stop recognizing the
financial asset; If it has retained nearly all of the risks and rewards related to the
ownership of the financial asset, it shall not stop recognizing the financial asset.
Where the Company does not transfer or retain nearly all of the risks and rewards
related to the ownership of a financial asset, it shall deal with it respectively
according to the circumstances as follows: If it gives up its control over the
financial asset, it shall stop recognizing the financial asset and shall recognize the
assets and liabilities generated therefrom; If it does not give up its control over the
financial asset, it shall, according to the extent of its continuous involvement in the
transferred financial asset, recognize the related financial asset and recognize the
relevant liability accordingly.
7. Derivative instruments and embedded derivative instruments
Derivative instruments implement initial measurement at the fair value on the date
of signing the contract, and also perform subsequent measurement at the fair
value. Changes in the fair value of derivative instrument shall be charged to profits
or losses of the current period.
For the hybrid instruments containing embedded derivative instruments, if the
hybrid instruments are not specified as financial assets and financial liabilities
measured at the fair value and of which the changes are recorded into the profits
or losses of the current period the embedded derivative instruments are not closely
related to this master contract in terms of economic characteristics and risks, and
individual instruments with conditions the same as those of the embedded
GREE ELECTRIC APPLIANCES, INC. OF ZHUHAI Annual Report 2016
derivative instruments accord with the derivative instrument definition, the
embedded derivative instruments shall be removed from the hybrid instruments
and handled as independent derivative instruments. Where derivative instruments
cannot be separately measured at the time of acquisition or the subsequent
balance sheet date, the hybrid instruments shall be specified as financial assets
and financial liabilities measured at the fair value as a whole and of which the
changes shall be recorded into the profits or losses of the current period.
8. Offsetting financial assets with financial liabilities
When the Company has the statutory right to offset the recognized amount, this
statutory right is executable at present, and the Company also plans to perform
netting settlement or simultaneously realize the financial assets and liquidate the
financial liabilities, the financial assets and financial liabilities shall be listed in the
balance sheet using the net amount after mutual offsetting. In other cases, the
financial assets and financial liabilities are presented respectively in the balance
sheet and not mutually offset.
9. Equity instruments

equity in assets of the Company after deduction of all the liabilities. The owners’
equities are increased after the transaction expenses are deducted from the
consideration received at issuance of the equity instruments. The Company
completes all kinds of allocations (excluding stock dividends) for the equity
instrument holding parties to reduce the owners’ equities. The Company does not
recognize the amount of change in the fair value of equity instruments.

debt upon examination and approval according to legal procedures. As for the
Company's transfer, pledge and discount to financial institutions like banks with
receivable creditor’s right, according to the provisions of the relevant contract,
when the debtor fails to pay back the due debts, if the Company bears the
payment liability to the financial institutions, the receivable creditor’s right shall be
treated as pledged loan; If the Company bears no payment liability to the financial
institutions, the receivable creditor’s right shall be treated as the transferred one
and the profit and loss of transfer shall be recognized.
When the Company recovers the receivables, the difference between the acquired
price and the carrying amount of the receivables shall be recorded into the profits
and losses of the current period.
1. Receivables with significant single amounts and single bad debt provision
appropriated:
If a single amount accounts for 5% (including more than 5%) of total amount of the
receivables, the Company shall recognize the said receivables as the receivables
with significant single amounts.
On the balance sheet, the Company shall carry out an independent impairment
test for the receivables with significant single amounts, where, upon independent
test, the said receivables has been impaired, the negative balance between the
present value of the future cash flow of the said receivables and their carrying
amount shall be recognized as loss of the impairment of the said receivables, and
a provision for bad debts shall be made accordingly. Where the receivables have
not been impaired upon independent test, the several combinations between the
said receivables and the receivables with insignificant single amounts shall be
made based on similar credit risk features, and then the loss of the impairment of
the said receivables shall be calculated and recognized at a certain proportion of
GREE ELECTRIC APPLIANCES, INC. OF ZHUHAI Annual Report 2016
the combinations of these receivables in the balance on the balance sheet date,
and a provision for bad debts shall be made accordingly.

3. Accounts receivable with insignificant single amounts but single bad debt
provision appropriated:
As for the receivables with insignificant single amounts, if there are conclusive
evidences to show that there is an obvious difference in their collectability, a
provision for bad debts shall be made as per the negative balance between the
present value of their future cash flow and their carrying amount.
(12) Inventories
1. Classification of inventories
Classification of inventories: The Company’s inventories are classified into raw
materials, goods in process, and goods finished.
2. Valuation for delivered inventories
Valuation for delivered inventories: When various kinds of inventories of the
Company are delivered, they shall be valuated at planned costs, and the planned
costs shall be adjusted into actual costs based on the difference of costs of the
current month at the end of the month.
GREE ELECTRIC APPLIANCES, INC. OF ZHUHAI Annual Report 2016
3. Recognition of the net realizable value and measurement of provision for
decline in value of inventories
At the balance sheet date, inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net
realizable value. if the cost of inventories is higher than the net realizable value, a
provision for decline in value of inventories shall be made and shall be recorded
into the profits and losses of the current period, where a provision for decline in
value of inventories has been made, if the value of the said inventories is resumed
later, the said value shall be reversed from the provision for decline in value of the
inventories. Net realizable 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 and relevant taxes.
4. Stock count system for inventories
The perpetual inventory system is adopted for stock count of the Company.
5. Amortization methods of low-value consumables and packaging materials
Low-value consumables and packaging materials are written off in full when issued
for use.
(13) Assets held for sale
1. Recognition standard
The component (or non-current assets; the same below) of the Company that
matches the following conditions at the same time shall be recognized as assets
held for sale: the said component can be sold immediately in its current status and
only according to the usual terms on sales of this kind of components; the
Company has adopted a resolution on disposal of this component (where
shareholder approval is required in accordance with relevant regulations, approval
shall be obtained from the general meeting of shareholders or corresponding
organ of authority); the Company has signed an irrevocable transfer agreement
with the transferee; such transfer will be completed within one year.
2. Accounting treatment
For the fixed assets held for sale, the Company adjusts the expected net salvage
value of the fixed assets so that the expected net salvage value of the fixed assets
can reflect the amount got by reducing the disposal expenses from their fair value,
GREE ELECTRIC APPLIANCES, INC. OF ZHUHAI Annual Report 2016
but cannot exceed the original carrying amount of the fixed assets when the fixed
assets comply with the conditions for assets held for sale; the positive difference of
the original carrying amount less the expected net salvage value after adjustment
shall be charged to profits or losses of the current period as asset impairment loss.
In case that an asset or a disposal group is included in the category held for sale
but subsequently fails to meet the recognition conditions for fixed assets held for
sale, the Company shall stop including it in the category held for sale and measure
it according to the lower of the following two amounts:
(1) The carrying amount of this asset or disposal group before it is included in the
category held for sale, according to the amount after adjustment of the
depreciation, amortization or impairment that should be recognized originally on
the assumption that the asset or disposal group is not included in the category
held for sale;
(2) Re-recovered amount on the date when a decision is made to stop sales.
Other non-current assets such as intangible assets complying with the conditions
for holding for sale shall be handled in the light of the above principle.
(14) Long-term equity investments
Long-term equity investments mainly include the equity investment held by the
Company that is able to control, is under common control with or has significant
influences on the invested entity and the equity investment to joint ventures.
1. Judgment standards of control and significant influence
Judgment standards of control: (1) The Company owns the power to the invested
entity; (2) the Company enjoys variable return by participating relevant activities of
the invested entity; (3) the Company has the capacity of using the power to the
invested entity to affect its return amount. The Company acknowledges the control
force for the invested entity that meets the above three conditions.
Judgment standards of significant influence: The Company has the power to
participate in decision making for the financial and operations policies of the
invested entity, but cannot control formulation of these policies independently or
together with other parties. Where the Company can exert a great influence on the
invested entity, the invested entity is an associated enterprise of the Company. The
GREE ELECTRIC APPLIANCES, INC. OF ZHUHAI Annual Report 2016
invested entity under common control by the Company and other participants is a
contractual enterprise of the Company. Common control means that any
participant cannot independently control this arrangement, and any participant with
the right to common control on this arrangement can prevent other participants or
the combination of participants from independently controlling this arrangement.
2. Investment cost recognition of long-term equity investment
The long-term equity investment of the Company is measured at the investment
cost at the time of acquisition. Normally the investment cost refers to the assets
paid, liabilities incurred or undertaken, and the fair value of equity securities issued
for the acquisition of this investment, including the costs directly attributable to the
acquisition. However, for the long-term equity investment formed by business
combination involving enterprises under common control, the investment cost is
the share of carrying amount of the combined party’s net assets acquired on the
combination date in the ultimate controlling party’s consolidated financial
statements.
3. Subsequent measurement of long-term equity investments and recognition of
profits or losses
The Company adopts the cost method for accounting for the long-term equity
investment based on which the Company is able to control the invested enterprise;
the Company adopts the equity method for accounting for investments put into
associated enterprises and contractual enterprises.
The price of a long-term equity investment accounted by employing the cost
method shall be included at its initial investment cost. If there are additional
investments or disinvestments, the cost of the long-term equity investment shall be
adjusted. The cash dividends or profits declared to distribute by the invested entity
shall be recognized as investment income and charged to profits or losses of the
current period.
When the Company employs the equity method for accounting of the long-term
equity investment, if the investment cost of a long-term equity investment is more
than the investing enterprise’ attributable share of the fair value of the invested
entity's identifiable net assets for the investment, the investment cost of the long-
term equity investment may not be adjusted; if the investment cost of a long-term
GREE ELECTRIC APPLIANCES, INC. OF ZHUHAI Annual Report 2016
equity investment is less than the investing enterprise’ attributable share of the fair
value of the invested entity's identifiable net assets for the investment, the carrying
amount of the long-term equity investment shall be adjusted, and the difference
shall be recorded into the profits or losses of the current period.
When the Company employs the equity method for accounting of the long-term
equity investment, the Company first adjusts the invested entity’s net profits or
losses and other comprehensive income in the aspects such as the fair value of
the invested entity's identifiable net assets at the time of investment acquisition,
accounting policy and accounting period, and then recognizes the current-period
investment profits or losses and other comprehensive income according to the
investing enterprise’ attributable or shareable share of the invested entity's net
profits or losses and other comprehensive income. For other changes in owners’
equities other than the net profits or losses, other comprehensive income and
profit distribution, the carrying amount of the long-term equity investment shall be
adjusted and recorded into the owners’ equities.
For the unrealized internal transaction profits/losses that arise between the
Company and the associated enterprises and contractual enterprises, the part
attributable to the Company shall be calculated according to the shareholding
proportion, and the investment profits/losses shall be recognized on the basis of
offsetting.
For the long-term equity investments held already prior to January 1, 2007 for the
associated enterprises and contractual enterprises, if there is any equity
investment difference on the debit side, the investment profits/losses shall be
recognized after deduction of the equity investment difference on the debit side
amortized by the straight-line method according to the original residual maturity.
4. Recognition of common control and significant influences on the invested entity
Common control is recognized as the control which does not exist unless the
investing parties unanimously agree on sharing the control power over the relevant
important financial and operating decisions of the invested entity according to the
provisions of the contract.
Significant influences will be recognized where there is power to participate in
making decisions on the financial and operating policies of the invested entity, but
GREE ELECTRIC APPLIANCES, INC. OF ZHUHAI Annual Report 2016
not to control or do joint control together with other parties over the formulation of
these policies. When the Company holds more than 20% (included) but less than
50% of voting shares of the invested entity directly or indirectly through a
subsidiary, significant influences on the invested entity shall be recognized, unless
there is clear evidence indicating that the Company cannot participate in
production and management decision-making of the invested entity in this situation
and therefore cannot generate significant influences; if the Company holds less
than 20% (excluded) of voting shares of the invested entity, usually the Company
is not deemed to have a significant influence on the invested entity, unless there is
clear evidence indicating that the Company can participate in production and
management decision-making of the invested entity in this situation and therefore
can generate significant influences.
5. Conversion of the long-term equity investment accounting method
Where the equity investment originally held by the Company, which is unable to
control, is not under common control with or has no significant influences on the
invested entity, is converted into an investment for an associated enterprise or
contractual enterprise due to additional investment, the investment shall be
accounted by the equity method instead, and the Company shall use the fair value
of the original equity investment plus the fair value of the consideration paid to
acquire the newly added investment as the initial investment cost accounted by the
equity method instead. The difference between the fair value and carrying amount
of the originally held equity investment prior to the additional investment, and the
cumulative fair value changes originally recorded into other comprehensive income
shall be transferred to the current-period profits or losses accounted by the equity
method instead.
For the originally held investments for associated enterprises and contractual
enterprises, if they are not able to be under common control with or have
significant influences on the invested entity, if they are not able to be under
common control with or have significant influences on the invested entity due to
reason such as partial disposal, accounting treatment must be performed for
remaining equity investments according to the recognization and measurement
standards for financial instruments, and the difference between the fair value and
carrying amount on the date on which the common control or significant influence
GREE ELECTRIC APPLIANCES, INC. OF ZHUHAI Annual Report 2016
is lost shall be charged to profits or losses of the current period. When accounting
based on the equity method is terminated for other related comprehensive income
originally subject to accounting of equity method, accounting treatment is
performed using the basis the same as that used by the invested entity to directly
dispose of relevant assets or liabilities; all the owners' equities that are recognized
due to other changes in owners’ equities other than the net profits/losses, other
comprehensive income and profit distribution of the invested entity shall be
transferred to the profits or losses of the current period when accounting based on
the equity method is terminated.
Where the originally held investments for associated enterprises or contractual
enterprises are converted to investments for subsidiaries due to additional
investment, in the individual financial statements, the sum of the carrying value of
the acquired party’s equity investment held prior to the acquisition date and the
investment cost newly added on the acquisition date shall be used as the initial
investment cost of such an investment; for the equity investment held prior to the
acquisition date, other comprehensive income recognized due to accounting of the
equity method shall undergo accounting treatment using the basis the same as
that used by the invested entity to directly dispose of relevant assets or liabilities
when such an investment is disposed of.
When the influencing capability on the invested entity is converted from control to
a significant influence or common control together with other investors due to
investment disposal, the long-term equity investment cost, for which recognition
shall be terminated, is first carried over according to the proportion of investment
disposal. On such a basis, the remaining long-term equity investment cost is
compared with the share attributable to the Company in the fair value of the
invested entity's identifiable net assets at the time of original investment, which is
calculated according to the remaining shareholding proportion. For the business
reputation part to be embodied in the investment evaluation, the carrying amount
of long-term equity investment shall not be adjusted; where the investment cost is
less than the share attributable to the Company in the fair value of the invested
entity's identifiable net assets at the time of original investment, any excess shall
be adjusted against retained earnings when the long-term equity investment cost
is adjusted. For the share attributable to the Company in the invested entity’s
GREE ELECTRIC APPLIANCES, INC. OF ZHUHAI Annual Report 2016
realized net profits/losses between acquisition of the original investment and
conversion to accounting of the equity method due to investment disposal, the
carrying amount of the long-term equity investment shall be adjusted, meanwhile,
any excess shall be adjusted against retained earnings for the share attributable to
the Company in the invested entity’s realized net profits/losses (excluding the cash
dividends or profits distributed or declared to distribute) from acquisition of the
original investment to the beginning of the period in which the investment is
disposed of, and the current-period profits or losses shall be adjusted for the share
attributable to the Company in the invested entity’s realized net profits/losses from
the beginning of the period in which the investment is disposed of to the
investment disposal date; the share attributable to the Company in the invested
entity’s changes in other comprehensive income shall be recorded into other
comprehensive income when the carrying amount of the long-term equity
investment is adjusted; the share attributable to the Company in the invested
entity’s other changes in owners’ equities arising from reasons other than the net
profits or losses, other comprehensive income and profit distribution shall be
recorded into “Capital reserves -- Other capital reserves” when the carrying
amount of the long-term equity investment is adjusted. After the cost method is
converted to the equity method for the long-term equity investment, the share
attributable to the Company in the invested entity’s realized net profits/losses,
other comprehensive income and other changes in owners’ equities shall be
calculated and recognized according to provisions of the standard in the future
period.
For the originally held long-term equity investment that is able to control the
invested entity, if the shareholding proportion declines due to reasons such as
partial disposal and the investment cannot be able to control, be under common
control with or have significant influences on the invested entity, accounting
treatment must be performed for remaining equity investments according to the
recognition and measurement standards for financial instruments. The difference
between the fair value and carrying amount on the date of control loss shall be
recorded into the investment income of the current period.
In the process of holding the long-term equity investment, if the Company decides
to sell all or part of held stocks of the invested entity in consideration of all aspects,
GREE ELECTRIC APPLIANCES, INC. OF ZHUHAI Annual Report 2016
the carrying amount of the long-term equity investment corresponding to the sold
stocks shall be carried over accordingly, and the difference between the selling
price and the carrying amount of long-term equity investment for disposal shall be
recognized as disposal profit or loss.
If the Company disposes of all the long-term equity investments accounted by the
equity method, when accounting based on the equity method is terminated for
other related comprehensive income originally subject to accounting of equity
method, accounting treatment is performed using the basis the same as that used
by the invested entity to directly dispose of relevant assets or liabilities; all the
owners' equities that are recognized due to changes in other owners’ equities
other than the net profits/losses, other comprehensive income and profit
distribution of the invested entity shall be transferred to the investment income of
the current period when accounting based on the equity method is terminated; if a
part of the long-term equity investment accounted by the equity method is
disposed of and the remaining stocks are still accounted using the equity method,
other related comprehensive income originally subject to accounting of equity
method shall be handled using the basis the same as that used by the invested
entity to directly dispose of relevant assets or liabilities and be carried over by
proportion, and the owners' equities that are recognized due to other changes in
owners’ equities other than the net profits/losses, other comprehensive income
and profit distribution of the invested entity shall be carried over to the investment
income of the current period according to the proportion.

Depreciation of fixed assets of which a provision for impairment has been made:
For a fixed asset of which a provision for impairment has been made, the
depreciation of the fixed asset shall be made based on the amount of deducting its
expected net salvage value, depreciation amount and provision for impairment
from the original price of the fixed asset and remaining service life of the fixed
asset.
For the fixed assets that have reached intended usable condition but not prepared
the final account for completion, their costs shall be recognized at their estimated

the actual interest expense incurred on that borrowing for the period less any bank
interest earned from depositing the borrowed funds before being used on the asset
or any investment income on the temporary investment of those funds.
(2) Where general funds are borrowed for the acquisition, construction or
production of a qualifying asset, the amount of interest to be capitalized on such
general borrowings shall be calculated and recognized by applying a capitalization
rate of such general borrowings to the weighted average of the excess amounts of
accumulated expenditures on the asset over and above the amounts of special
borrowings. The capitalization rate shall be calculated and recognized by the
weighted average interest rate of general borrowings.
Where there is any discount or premium, the amount of discounts or premiums
that shall be amortized during each accounting period shall be recognized by the
real interest rate method, and an adjustment shall be made to the amount of
interests in each period. During the period of capitalization, the amount of interest
capitalized during each accounting period shall not exceed the amount of interest
actually incurred to the relevant borrowings in the current period.
Ancillary costs in connection with special borrowings that are incurred before the
qualifying asset acquired, constructed or produced becomes ready for its intended
use or sale shall be capitalized on the basis of the incurred amount when they are
incurred, and they shall be recorded into the cost of qualifying asset; those
incurred after the qualifying asset acquired, constructed or produced becomes
ready for its intended use or sale shall be recognized as expenses on the basis of
the incurred amount when they are incurred, and shall be recorded into the profits
and losses of the current period. The ancillary costs arising from a general
GREE ELECTRIC APPLIANCES, INC. OF ZHUHAI Annual Report 2016
borrowing shall be recognized as expenses at their incurred amount when they are
incurred, and shall be recorded into the profits and losses of the current period.
(19) Intangible assets
1. Recognition of intangible assets
An intangible asset is an identifiable non-monetary asset without physical
substance owned or controlled by the Company. Intangible assets can be
recognized only when they meet the conditions simultaneously as follows:
(1) They are consistent with the definition of intangible assets;
(2) The economic benefits related to intangible assets are likely to flow into the
enterprise; and
(3) The cost of intangible assets can be measured reliably.
2. Measurement of intangible assets
The intangible assets shall be measured according to their cost or fair value (if
increased through business combination not involving enterprises under common
control).
3. Subsequent measurement
The Company shall analyze and judge the service life of intangible assets when it
obtains intangible assets. If the Company is unable to forecast the period when the
intangible asset can bring economic benefits to it, it shall be regarded as an
intangible asset with uncertain service life.
With regard to an intangible asset with limited service life, its amortization amount
shall be amortized by expected realization pattern of its economic benefits, if the
Company is unable to recognize the expected realization pattern reliably,
intangible assets shall be amortized by the straight-line method.
The Company shall, at least at the end of each year, check the service life and the
amortization method of intangible assets with limited service life. If necessary, it
shall adjust the said service life and amortization method.
GREE ELECTRIC APPLIANCES, INC. OF ZHUHAI Annual Report 2016
With regard to an intangible asset with uncertain service life, its amortization
amount shall not be amortized, but the Company shall check the service life of the
said intangible asset every year and shall carry out an impairment test for it.
4. Estimation of service life
As for intangible assets with limited service life, the estimation of their service life
generally considers the following factors:
(1) General life cycle of products manufactured by using the assets and
information about service life of similar assets available;
(2) Present situation of technologies and process and estimation for future
development trends;
(3) Market demand of products manufactured or services rendered by using the
assets;
(4) Expected actions of present or potential competitors;
(5) Expected maintenance expenses for economic capacity from the assets and
the Company's expected capability to pay relevant expenses;
(6) Laws and regulations or similar restrictions relating to the control period of the
assets, such as concession period and lease period;
(7) Relevance with service life of other assets held by the Company, etc.
5. Division of research expenditures and development expenditures included in
expenditures for internal research and development projects
(1) Research expenditures in internal research and development projects shall be
recorded into the profits and losses of the current period when they are incurred.
(2) Development expenditures in internal research and development projects shall
be recognized as intangible assets where they satisfy all of the following conditions:
① Technical feasibility of completing the intangible asset so that it will be
available for use or sale;
② Intention to complete the intangible asset and use or sell it;
GREE ELECTRIC APPLIANCES, INC. OF ZHUHAI Annual Report 2016
③ How the intangible asset will generate economic benefits, including the
ability to demonstrate the existence of a market for the output of the
intangible asset or the intangible asset itself or, if it is to be used internally,
the usefulness of the intangible asset;
④ Availability of adequate technical, financial and other resources to complete
the development and to use or sell the intangible asset;
⑤ Ability to measure reliably the expenditure that is attributable to the
intangible asset during its development.
(20) Long-term deferred expenses
Long-term deferred expenses refer to the expenses incurred by the Company but
attributable to the current and subsequent accounting periods of more than one
year (excluding one year), including the expenses for improvement of fixed assets
leased by operating lease.
Long-term deferred expenses shall be recorded into the account based on their
actual amount of expenditure and shall be averagely amortized by their beneficial
period, if long-term deferred expenses can not benefit subsequent accounting
periods, the unamortized value of the project shall be all transferred to the profits
and losses of the current period.
(21) Impairment of Assets
On the balance sheet date, if there is any sign showing possible impairment of
assets (referring to the assets other than inventories, equity instruments that have
no quoted price and reliable fair value measurement in active market, investment
real estate measured by fair value model, consumable biological assets, assets
formed under construction contract, deferred income tax assets, residual value not
guaranteed by the renter in the financing lease and financial assets), their
recoverable amount shall be estimated on the basis of single item assets; Where it
is difficult to estimate the recoverable amount of the single item assets, the
recoverable amount of the assets shall be recognized on the basis of their asset
group or combination of asset groups.
GREE ELECTRIC APPLIANCES, INC. OF ZHUHAI Annual Report 2016
The recoverable amount shall be recognized in light of the higher one of the net
amount of the fair value of the single item assets, asset group or combination of
asset groups less the disposal expenses and the present value of the expected
future cash flow of the single item assets, asset group or combination of asset
groups.
Where the recoverable amount of the single item assets is lower than their
carrying amount, a provision for the asset impairment shall be made accordingly
on the basis of the difference between the carrying amount of the single item
assets and their recoverable amount. Where the recoverable amount of an asset
group or a combination of asset groups is lower than its carrying amount, it shall
be recognized as the corresponding impairment loss. The amount of the
impairment loss shall first charge against the carrying amount of business
reputation which is apportioned to the asset group or combination of asset groups,
then charge it against the carrying amount of other assets in proportion to the
weight of other assets in the asset group or combination of asset groups with the
business reputation excluded. The charges against the carrying amount of the
assets above shall be treated as the impairment loss of the single item assets
(including the business reputation), and a provision for impairment of the single
item assets shall be made accordingly.
Once the above loss of asset impairment is recognized, it shall not be switched
back in future accounting periods.
(22) Estimated liabilities
1. Recognition of estimated liabilities
When the businesses related to contingencies such as external guarantee,
pending action or arbitration, product quality assurance, plan for layoffs, loss
contract, restructuring obligations and fixed asset disposal obligations meet all of
the following conditions, they shall be recognized as liabilities:
GREE ELECTRIC APPLIANCES, INC. OF ZHUHAI Annual Report 2016
(1) The liabilities are present liabilities assumed by the Company;
(2) The fulfillment of the liabilities might cause outflow of economic benefits from
the enterprise.
(3) The amount of the liabilities can be reliably measured.
2. Measurement of estimated liabilities
The estimated liabilities shall be measured in accordance with the best estimate of
the necessary expenses for the performance of the current obligation. If there is a
sequent range for the necessary expenses and if all the outcomes within this
range are equally likely to occur, the best estimate shall be recognized in
accordance with the middle estimate within the range. In other cases, the best
estimate shall be recognized in accordance with the following methods,
respectively:
(1) If the contingencies concern a single item, it shall be recognized in the light of
the most likely outcome.
(2) If the contingencies concern two or more items, the best estimate shall be
calculated and recognized in accordance with all possible outcomes and the
relevant probabilities.
When all or some of the expenses necessary for the liquidation of estimated
liabilities of the company is expected to be compensated by a third party or other
parties, the compensation shall be separately recognized as an asset only when it
is virtually certain that the reimbursement will be obtained. The amount recognized
for the reimbursement shall not exceed the carrying amount of the recognized
estimated liabilities.
(23) Employees’ wages and salaries
1. The term “employees’ wages and salaries” refers to all kinds of remunerations
or compensations given by the enterprises in exchange of the employees’ services
or for cancellation of labor relationships. The employees’ wages and salaries
include the short-term wages and salaries, separation benefits, dismiss welfare
and other long-term employee benefits, as well as the benefits provided by the
GREE ELECTRIC APPLIANCES, INC. OF ZHUHAI Annual Report 2016
enterprises to employees’ spouses, children and dependants, deceased
employees’ survivors and other beneficiaries.
2. In addition to all the employees who have signed a labor contract with the
enterprise, the scope of employees also covers members who have not signed a
labor contract with the enterprise but have been formally appointed by the
enterprise, and those who provide services to the enterprise which has signed an
employment contract with a labor service agent.
3. In the accounting period during which employees provide services to the
Company, the Company recognizes the short-term wages and salaries actually
incurred as liabilities and charges them to the current-period profits and losses or
relevant asset costs.
4. Separation benefits are classified into the defined contribution plan and defined
benefit plan.
(1) In the accounting period during which employees provide services to the
Company, the Company recognizes the amount to be deposited (calculated
according to the defined contribution plan) as liabilities and charges it to the
current-period profits and losses or relevant asset costs.
(2) Usually accounting treatment for the defined benefit plan consists of the
following steps:
① According to the projected unit credit method, adopt the unbiased and
mutually consistent actuarial assumption to estimate the demographic
variables and financial variables, measure obligations generated by the
defined benefit plan, and determine the period to which relevant obligations
belong;
② In case that the defined benefit plan involves assets, recognize the deficit or
surplus formed by reducing the fair value of assets of the defined benefit
plan from the present obligation value of the defined benefit plan as one net
liability or net asset of the defined benefit plan. If the defined benefit plan has
any surplus, use the lower of the defined benefit plan surplus and the upper
asset limit to measure net assets of the defined benefit plan. The upper
GREE ELECTRIC APPLIANCES, INC. OF ZHUHAI Annual Report 2016
asset limit refers to the present value of the economic interest that can be
obtained by the Company from refund of the defined benefit plan or by
reducing the fund to be deposited for the defined benefit plan in the future;
③ At the end of the period, recognize the costs of employees’ wages and
salaries arising from the defined benefit plan as the service costs, net
interests of net liabilities or net assets of the defined benefit plan, and
changes arising from remeasurement of net liabilities or net assets of the
defined benefit plan, wherein the service costs and net interests of net
liabilities or net assets of the defined benefit plan are recorded into the
current-period profits/losses or relevant asset costs, changes arising from
remeasurement of net liabilities or net assets of the defined benefit plan are
recorded into other comprehensive income and cannot be reversed to
profits/losses in the subsequent accounting period, but such amount
recognized in other comprehensive income can be transferred within the
equity scope;
④ Recognize a settlement gain or loss during settlement of the defined benefit
plan.
5. If the Company provides employees with dismiss welfare, the liability of
employees’ wages and salaries that arises from the dismiss welfare shall be
recognized on the earlier one of the following two dates and charged to the
current-period profits/losses: ① when the Company cannot unilaterally cancel the
dismiss welfare provided for the labor relationship cancellation plan or staff
reduction suggestion; ② when the Company recognizes the cost or expense
related to reconstruction involving dismiss welfare payment.
6. If other long-term benefits offered by the Company to employees comply with
conditions of the defined contribution plan, accounting treatment is conducted
according to the defined contribution plan; the long-term benefits other than these
shall undergo accounting treatment according to the defined benefit plan, but the
changes arising from remeasurement of the net liabilities or net assets of other
long-term benefits for employees shall be recorded into the current-period
profits/losses or relevant asset costs.
GREE ELECTRIC APPLIANCES, INC. OF ZHUHAI Annual Report 2016
(24) Recognition of revenues
Revenues shall be recognized where the relevant economic benefits are likely to
flow into the Company, the relevant amount of revenue can be reliably measured
and the following conditions are met simultaneously:
1. Revenue from selling goods
Where the Company has transferred significant risks and rewards of ownership of
the goods to the buyer, and it neither retains continuous management right that
usually keeps relation with the ownership nor implements effective control over the
sold goods; and the relevant costs incurred or to be incurred can be reliably
measured, the revenue from selling goods shall be recognized.
2. Revenue from rendering labor services
If the Company can, on the balance sheet date, reliably estimate the schedule of
completion and outcome of a transaction concerning the labor services, and the
costs related to the transaction incurred or to be incurred can be reliably measured,
the Company shall recognize the revenue from rendering labor services adopting
the percentage-of-completion method and shall ascertain the schedule of
completion under the transaction concerning the rendering of labor services
according to the proportion of the costs incurred against the estimated total costs.
Where the Company can not, on the balance sheet date, reliably estimate the
outcome of a transaction concerning the labor services, if it expects that the cost of
labor services incurred can be made up, the Company shall recognize the revenue
from rendering labor services based on the amount of the cost of labor services
incurred and shall carry forward the cost of labor services in accordance with the
same amount; If it is expected that the cost of labor services incurred can not be
made up, the cost of labor services incurred shall be recorded into the profits and
losses of the current period, and the revenue from rendering labor services shall
not be recognized.
GREE ELECTRIC APPLIANCES, INC. OF ZHUHAI Annual Report 2016
3. Abalienate the right to use assets
The amount of interest revenue shall be calculated and recognized in accordance
with the length of time for which the Company's cash is used by others and the
actual interest rate; The amount of royalty revenue shall be calculated and
recognized in accordance with the period and method of charging as stipulated in
the relevant contract or agreement.
(25) Government subsidies
A government subsidy means the monetary and non-monetary assets obtained
free by the Company from the government, but excluding the capital invested by
the government as the owner. Government subsidies consist of the government
subsidies pertinent to assets and government subsidies pertinent to income.
The Company defines the obtained government subsidies used for purchase or
construction, or forming the long-term assets by other ways as government
subsidies pertinent to assets, and all the other government subsidies as
government subsidies pertinent to income. If the government document does not
specify the subsidy object, the following mode is adopted to classify the subsidies
into government subsidies pertinent to income and government subsidies pertinent
to assets: (1) if the government document specifies the project to which the
subsidy aims, the amount is divided according to the relative proportion of the paid
amount to form assets to the paid amount to be recorded into expenses in the
budget of this specific project, and this division proportion needs to be checked on
every balance sheet date and be changed when necessary; (2) if the government
document provides only a general presentation of the purpose without specifying
the specific project, the subsidy shall be regarded as government subsidy pertinent
to income.
The government subsidies of monetary assets shall be measured according to the
amount received or receivable. Here, if there is any exact evidence showing that
this subsidy is appropriated according to the fixed quota, it can be measured
according to the amount receivable; otherwise it shall be measured according to
the amount actually received. The government subsidies of non-monetary assets
shall be measured at the fair value; if the fair value cannot be obtained in a reliable
way, the subsidies shall be measured at the nominal amount of RMB1.
GREE ELECTRIC APPLIANCES, INC. OF ZHUHAI Annual Report 2016
When a government subsidy is actually received, the Company usually recognizes
and measures it according to the actually received amount. At the end of the
period, however, if there is any exact evidence showing that the Company
complies with relevant conditions provided in the financial supporting policy and it
is expected to receive the capital support from the government, this subsidy shall
be measured according to the amount receivable. The government subsidy
measured according to the amount receivable shall comply with all the following
conditions: (1) The amount of receivable subsidy has been confirmed by the
authoritative government department by issuing a document, or the subsidy can be
independently and reasonably measured and calculated in accordance with
relevant provisions of the formally issued financial fund management measures
and it is predicted that its amount does not involve significant uncertainty; (2) the
subsidy is based on the financially supported project that is formally released by
the local financial department and initiatively disclosed according to provisions of
the Regulation of the People's Republic of China on the Disclosure of Government
Information, as well as its financial fund management measures, and the
management measures must be generous (any enterprise meeting the defined
conditions can apply for the subsidy) and are not formulated specially for specific
enterprises; (3) the related subsidy approval document has clearly promised the
time limit of appropriation and appropriation of the fund is guaranteed by the
corresponding financial budget, so it can be surely received within the defined time
limit; (4) other conditions (if any) that shall be matched according to specific
conditions of the Company and this matter of subsidy.
The government subsidies pertinent to assets shall be recognized as deferred
income and shall be equally distributed within the service life of the relevant assets,
and recorded into the current-period profits and losses. If the government
subsidies pertinent to incomes are used for compensating the related expenses or
losses incurred to the Company, they shall be recorded into the current-period
profits and losses; if the government subsidies pertinent to incomes are used for
compensating the related future expenses or losses in the later period, the
subsidies shall be recorded into the deferred income and shall be recorded into the
current-period profits and losses during the period when the relevant expenses are
recognized. The government subsidies measured at the nominal amount shall be
GREE ELECTRIC APPLIANCES, INC. OF ZHUHAI Annual Report 2016
directly recorded into the current-period profits and losses.
Where it is necessary to refund any government subsidy which has been
recognized, if there is a deferred income balance concerned, the book balance of
the deferred income shall be offset against, but the excessive part shall be
included in the current profits and losses; If there is no deferred income concerned
to the government subsidy, the amount of refund shall be directly included in the
current profits and losses.
(26) Income taxes
Income taxes include all types of domestic and oversea tax amounts based on the
amounts of taxable income of the Company. When the Company obtains assets or
bears liabilities, it recognizes their tax base according to the national tax laws and
regulations. If the carrying amount of assets is greater than their tax base or if the
carrying amount of liabilities is less than their tax base, the difference between the
tax base and their carrying amount shall be treated as a taxable temporary
difference; If the carrying amount of assets is less than their tax base or if the
carrying amount of liabilities is greater than their tax base, the difference between
the tax base and their carrying amount shall be treated as a deductible temporary
difference.
1. Except for the deferred income tax liabilities arising from the following
transactions, the Company shall recognize the deferred income tax liabilities
arising from all taxable temporary differences:
(1) The recognition of business reputation;
(2) Recognition of assets or liabilities arising from the transaction that has the
following characteristics at the same time: The transaction is not business
combination; the accounting profits will not be affected, nor will the taxable amount
(or the deductible loss) be affected.
Unless the Company can control the time of the reverse of taxable temporary
differences related to the investments of subsidiary companies, associated
enterprises and contractual enterprises and the temporary differences are unlikely
GREE ELECTRIC APPLIANCES, INC. OF ZHUHAI Annual Report 2016
to be reversed in the predictable future, the Company shall recognize the
corresponding deferred income tax liabilities.
2. The Company shall recognize the deferred income tax liabilities arising from a
deductible temporary difference to the extent of the amount of the taxable income
which it is most likely to obtain and which can be deducted from the deductible
temporary difference, however, it shall not recognize the deferred income tax
assets arising from the recognition of assets or liabilities during a transaction which
is simultaneously featured by the following:
(1) This transaction is not business combination; and
(2) At the time of transaction, the accounting profits will not be affected, nor will the
taxable amount (or the deductible loss) be affected.
On the balance sheet date, where there is any exact evidence showing that it is
likely to acquire sufficient amount of taxable income tax in a future period to offset
against the deductible temporary difference, the Company shall recognize the
deferred income tax assets unrecognized in prior periods. If the deductible
temporary differences related to the investments of subsidiary companies,
associated enterprises and contractual enterprises are likely to be reversed in the
expected future and are likely to acquire any amount of taxable income tax that
may be used for making up the deductible temporary differences, the Company
shall recognize the deferred income tax assets corresponding to the said
differences.
3. On the balance sheet day, the current income tax liabilities (or assets) incurred
in the current period or prior periods shall be measured by the Company in light of
the expected payable (refundable) amount of income taxes according to the tax
law; The deferred income tax assets and deferred income tax liabilities shall be
measured at the tax rate applicable to the period during which the assets are
expected to be recovered or the liabilities are expected to be settled.
In case the applicable tax rate changes, the Company shall remeasure the
deferred income tax assets and deferred income tax liabilities which have been
GREE ELECTRIC APPLIANCES, INC. OF ZHUHAI Annual Report 2016
recognized. Excluding the deferred income tax assets and deferred income tax
liabilities arising from any transaction or event directly recognized as the owners'
equity, the Company shall record the amount affected by tax rate change into the
income tax expenses of the current period during which the change occurs.
The Company shall reexamine the carrying amount of deferred income tax assets
on each balance sheet day. If it is unlikely to obtain sufficient taxable income taxes
to offset the benefit of the deferred income tax assets, the carrying amount of the
deferred income tax assets shall be written down. When it is probable to obtain
sufficient taxable income taxes, such write-down amount shall be subsequently
reversed.
The Company shall record the income taxes of the current period and deferred
income taxes other than business combinations and transactions or events directly
recognized in the owners' equity into the profit statement as income tax expenses
or incomes.
(27) Leases
The term \"lease\" refers to an agreement under which the lessor conveys to the
lessee in return for rent the right to use an asset for an agreed period of time.
Leases consist of financing leases and operating leases.
1. Financing leases
(1) Where a lease satisfies one or more of the following criteria, it shall be
recognized as a financing lease: The ownership of the leased asset is transferred
to the lessee when the term of lease expires; the lessee has the option to buy the
leased asset at a price which is expected to be far lower than the fair value of the
leased asset at the date when the option becomes exercisable. Thus, on the lease
beginning date, it can be reasonably determined that the option will be exercised;
even if the ownership of the asset is not transferred, the lease term covers the
major part (over 75% (included)) of the service life of the leased asset; in the case
of the lessee, the present value of the minimum lease payments on the lease
beginning date amounts to substantially all (over 90% (included)) of the fair value
GREE ELECTRIC APPLIANCES, INC. OF ZHUHAI Annual Report 2016
of the leased asset on the lease beginning date; in the case of the lessor, the
present value of the minimum lease receipts on the lease beginning date amounts
to substantially all (over 90% (included)) of the fair value of the leased asset on the
lease beginning date; and the leased assets are of a specialized nature that only
the lessee can use them without making major modifications.
A lease that does not satisfy the above conditions shall be recognized as an
operating lease.
(2) The fixed assets leased by financing lease shall be recorded into the account
based on the lower of the fair value of leased assets on the lease beginning date
and the present value of the minimum lease payments, and a depreciation of the
said fixed assets shall be made in accordance with the depreciation policies for the
depreciable assets owned by the lessee.
2. Operating leases
The rents paid by the lessee shall be recorded by the Company into the relevant
asset costs or the profits and losses of the current period by using the straight-line
method over each period of the lease term. The direct costs incurred from
operating leases carried on by the Company shall be directly recorded into the
profits and losses of the current period. The contingent rents involved in the
operating lease agreement shall be recorded into the profits and losses of the
current period in which they actually arise.
(28) Hedging
The Company designates main raw materials as a hedged item and forward
contract as a hedging instrument to avoid the risks of changes in cash flows.
1. Recognition condition of hedging
(1) At the commencement of the hedging, the enterprise shall specify the hedging
relationship formally (namely the relationship between the hedging instrument and
the hedged item) and prepare a formal written document on the hedging
relationship, risk management objectives and the strategies of hedging. This
document shall at least specify the contents of hedging instrument, the hedged
GREE ELECTRIC APPLIANCES, INC. OF ZHUHAI Annual Report 2016
item, the nature of the hedged risk and the method for the effectiveness
assessment of the hedging and etc. The hedging shall be relevant to the
designated specific identifiable risk, and will ultimately affect the profits and losses
of the enterprise;
(2) The hedging expectation is highly efficient and meets the risk management
strategy, which is confirmed for the hedging relationship by enterprise at the very
beginning;
(3) For a cash flow hedging of forecast transaction, the forecast transaction shall
be likely to occur and shall make the enterprise faced to the risk of changes in
cash flow, which will ultimately affect the profits and losses;
(4) The effectiveness of hedging can be reliably measured;
(5) The Company shall continuously evaluate the effectiveness of hedging and
ensure that this hedging is highly effective in accounting period in which the
hedging relationship is specified.
2. Measurement of hedging
The hedging instrument is measured at its fair value on the date when the hedging
contract is signed, and its subsequent measurement is done at its fair value. The
hedging instrument with a positive fair value shall be recognized as other current
assets, and the hedging instrument with a negative fair value shall be recognized
as other current liabilities. Where a cash flow hedging meets the conditions for
adopting the hedging accounting method, it shall be dealt with in accordance with
the following provisions:
(1) In the profit or loss of the hedging instrument, the portion, which is attributed to
the effective hedging shall be directly recognized as the owner's equity and shall
be presented as a separate item. The amount of the portion of the effective
hedging shall be confirmed in accordance with the lower of the accumulative profit
or loss of the hedging instrument as of the commencement of hedging and the
accumulative amount of changes in the present value of the estimated future cash
flow of the hedged item as of the commencement of the hedging.
GREE ELECTRIC APPLIANCES, INC. OF ZHUHAI Annual Report 2016
(2) In the profit or loss of the hedging instrument, the portion, which is attributed to
the ineffective hedging (namely the other profit or loss after deducting the portion
directly recognized as the owner's equity) shall be recorded into the profit and loss
of the current period.
(3) The relevant profit or loss directly recognized in the owner's equity originally
shall be shifted out during the same period in which this non-financial asset or non-
financial liability affects the profit or loss of the enterprise and shall be recorded
into the current profits and losses of the current period. However, when all or
partial net loss expected by the enterprise to be directly recognized in the owner's
equity originally can not be made up in the future accounting period, the portion
which can not be made up shall be shifted out and shall be recorded into profits
and losses of the current period.
3. Evaluation of effectiveness of hedging
The Company adopts ratio analysis to evaluate the effectiveness of hedging
instrument, that is, the Company recognizes the effectiveness of hedging
instrument by comparing the hedging instrument resulting from the hedged risk
with the fair value of the hedged item or change in cash flow ratio. When a hedging
satisfies the following two conditions simultaneously, it shall be recognized as
being highly efficient:
(1) At the beginning and in subsequent periods of a hedging, this hedging
expectation shall be highly effective in offsetting the changes in the fair value or
cash flows caused by the hedged item during the specified periods;
(2) The hedging’s actual offset results are within a range of 80% to 125%.
4. Conditions for terminating the fair value hedging accounting method
In case that hedging meets one of the following conditions, the Company will
terminate use of fair value hedging accounting:
(1) The hedging instrument has expired or has been sold or exercised, or the
relevant contract has been terminated.
GREE ELECTRIC APPLIANCES, INC. OF ZHUHAI Annual Report 2016
(2) Where the hedging instrument has been extended or replaced by another
hedging instrument and the extension or replacement is a composing part of the
hedging strategy clearly stated on the Company’s written document, it shall not be
deemed that the hedging instrument has expired or the related contract has been
terminated.
(3) This hedging does not match the conditions for using the hedging accounting
method any more.
(4) The Company has cancelled specification of hedging relationship.
(29) Critical accounting estimates
The management needs to make judgments and estimates in preparation of
financial statements, and these judgments and estimates will affect the statement
amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities and disclosure thereof, as
well as disclosure of the contingent liability on the balance sheet date. However,
the result arising from uncertainty of these estimates may lead to material
adjustments for the carrying amount of future affected assets or liabilities.
The Company regularly reviews aforesaid judgments, estimates and assumptions
on a going concern basis. Where changes in accounting estimates influence only
the current period of changes, the amount affected by changes shall be
recognized in the current period of changes; where changes influence both the
current period of changes and the future period, the amount affected by changes
shall be recognized in the current period of changes and the future period.
On the balance sheet date, the Company needs to make judgments, estimates
and assumptions for amount of financial statement items in the following important
fields:
1. Classification of leases
The Company classifies leases into operating leases and financing leases in
accordance with provisions of Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises No.
21 – Leases. In classification, the management needs to make analysis and
judgment based on whether all the risks and rewards related to the ownership of
GREE ELECTRIC APPLIANCES, INC. OF ZHUHAI Annual Report 2016
leased assets have been essentially transferred to the lessee or whether the
Company has essentially assumed all the risks and rewards related to the
ownership of leased assets.
2. Appropriation of bad debt provision
The Company adopts the allowance method to account the loss on bad debt
according to the accounting policy of receivables. Impairment of accounts
receivable is based on evaluation of collectability of accounts receivable.
Identification of impairment of accounts receivable requires judgments and
estimates made by the management. The difference between the actual result and
the original estimate will affect the carrying amount of accounts receivable and
appropriation or reversal of bad debt provision for accounts receivable in the
period during which the estimate is changed.
3). Provision for obsolete stocks
The company measures inventories at the lower of the cost and net realizable
value according to the inventory accounting policy. If the cost of inventories is
higher than the net realizable value and the inventories are obsolete and slow
moving ones, a provision for decline in value of inventories shall be made. The
decline in value of inventories to the net realizable value is based on evaluation of
inventories’ salability and realizable value. Identification of the decline in value of
inventories requires the management to obtain exact evidence and make
judgments and estimates on the basis of considering factors such as purposes of
holding inventories and influences of events after the balance sheet date. The
difference between the actual result and the original estimate will affect the
carrying amount of inventories and making or reversal of provision for decline in
value of inventories in the period during which the estimate is changed.
4. Fair value of financial instruments
For the financial instruments which have no active trading market, the Company
uses various valuation methods such as discount cash flow model analysis to
determine their fair values. In valuation, the Company needs to estimate aspects
GREE ELECTRIC APPLIANCES, INC. OF ZHUHAI Annual Report 2016
including the future cash flow, credit risk, market volatility and pertinency, and
select a proper discount rate. These related hypotheses show uncertainty, and
their changes will influence the fair value of a financial instrument.
5. Provision for non-financial and non-current asset impairment
On the balance sheet date, the Company judges whether the non-current assets
other than financial assets may involve signs showing possible impairment. In
addition to the impairment test conducted on an annual basis for the intangible
assets with uncertain service life, when there is any sign showing impairment,
such an asset shall also undergo an impairment test. For the non-current assets
other than financial assets, if there is any sign showing that their carrying amount
cannot be recovered, an impairment test shall be performed.
Where the carrying amount of an asset or asset group is higher than the
recoverable amount, namely, the higher of the net amount got by reducing the
disposal expenses from the fair value and the present value of the expected future
cash flow, impairment has occurred.
The net amount got by reducing the disposal expenses from the fair value is
recognized by referring to the sales agreement price of similar assets in a fair
transaction or the observable market price and reducing the incremental cost
directly attributable to disposal of this asset.
When the present value of the future cash flow is predicted, great judgments shall
be made on this asset’s (or asset group’s) output, selling price, related operating
cost and the discount rate used to calculate the present value. When estimating
the recoverable amount, the Company adopts all the related data accessible,
including the forecast about the output, selling price and related operating cost that
is made according to the reasonable and supported hypotheses.
6. Depreciation and amortization
For the investment real estate, fixed assets and intangible assets, the company
makes depreciation and amortization using the straight-line method in the service
life after taking into account their salvage values. The Company regularly reviews
GREE ELECTRIC APPLIANCES, INC. OF ZHUHAI Annual Report 2016
the service life so as to determine the amount of depreciation and amortization
expenses to be recorded into every report period. The service life is determined by
the Company according to the previous experience in similar assets and in
combination with the expected technology update. If major changes occur in the
previous estimate, the depreciation and amortization expenses will be adjusted in
the future period.
7. Deferred income tax assets
Within the limit that sufficient taxable profit can be obtained very likely to deduct
the loss, the Company will recognize the deferred income tax assets regarding all
the unused tax losses. This requires the management of the Company to use a lot
of judgments to estimate the time and amount of the future taxable profit that may
be generated and combine the tax planning strategy to determine the amount of
the deferred income tax assets that should be recognized.
8. Income tax
In the normal operating activities of the Company, the final tax treatment and
calculation of some transactions are uncertain to some extent. Whether certain
items can be charged before tax depends on examination and approval of the tax
authority. If the final recognition results of these tax issues differ from the initially
estimated amount, the difference will influence the current income tax and deferred
income tax in the period when it is finally recognized.
9. Accrued liabilities
Based on the contract terms, present knowledge and historical experience, the
Company estimates the expected contract loss, delayed delivery penalty and
litigation loss and makes corresponding provision. In case that such a contingency
has formed a current obligation and the fulfillment of this current obligation likely
causes outflow of economic benefits from the Company, the Company shall
recognize the contingency as an accrued liability according to the best estimate of
the necessary expense to be paid for the performance of the current obligation. To
a great extent the recognition and measurement of accrued liabilities depend on
GREE ELECTRIC APPLIANCES, INC. OF ZHUHAI Annual Report 2016
judgments made by the management. In the judging process, the management
shall evaluate the associated risks, uncertainty, and currency time value of such a
contingency.
