Section IV Performance Discussion and Analysis

1. Overview

1.1 Industry Overview

A. Home Appliance IndustryAs China’s consumer market took a heavy hit in the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, people’s life styles andconsumption custom have changed, giving birth to new spending trends and forms. According to thestatistics published by the China Household Electric Appliance Research Institute (CHEARI) and theNational Household Electrical Appliance Industry Information Center, in 2020, the domestic retail sales ofhome appliances was RMB729.7 billion, down 9.2% year-on-year; and the exports of home appliances(exclusive of color TVs) reached RMB458.2 billion, up 24.2% year-on-year. Currently, the world is still ina grave and complex situation due to the pandemic, with unprecedented challenges for economicdevelopment. Nevertheless, in the medium and long run, upgrading of the industrial structure, stableincrease of household income, diversified consumption, the national policy support for the green andsmart industries, as well as upgrading of the standards for home appliances will create new opportunitiesand growth points. According to the 2020 Annual Report of China’s Household Electrical ApplianceIndustry published by CHEARI and the National Household Electrical Appliance Industry InformationCenter together, under the pressure of the pandemic, three trends occurred in the development of thedomestic home appliance industry in 2020: The “major” development trend, segmented demand marketand novel marketing model. The “major” development trend primarily includes the development directionof healthy, smart and high-end products, which will become the main market that home appliancemanufacturers would compete for. The segmented demand market has a booming growth and displaysa trend of diversity, especially in the small domestic appliances market where the diversified demand ofconsumers is more extensive, which requires the manufacturers to explore further. Novel marketingmodels emerge in an endless stream. These new tools such as live streaming can effectively reduceintermediate processes and can help to form competitive selling prices and more effective access tocustomers, especially for small domestic appliances that require no installation.

According to the data from the National Household Electrical Appliance Industry Information Center, thedomestic retail sales of air conditioners was RMB147.5 billion in 2020, down 22.8% year-on-year. In termsof product performance, the functions of air conditioners have been expanded from cooling and heatingto humidity, air cleanness and freshness, etc. Fresh-air air conditioners saw a year-on-year upswing ofover 150% in offline retail sales, in addition to a year-on-year surge of nearly 180% in online retail sales.Meanwhile, the market share of air conditioners which are capable of self-cleaning by retail sales alsoregistered a significant expansion (over 4% online and close to 13% offline). In addition, the pandemic,the implementation of the new energy efficiency standards, as well as a rise in raw material prices in thesecond half of 2020 further boosted the market prices of air conditioners. High-end products embraced alarger market share and a further structure upgrade. Data show that variable frequency floor-standingand wall-mounted air conditioners combined took up an over-92% offline market share by unit sales in2020, up 7% year-on-year.According to the data from the National Household Electrical Appliance Industry Information Center, thedomestic retail sales of laundry appliances was RMB65.74 billion in 2020, down 6.8% year-on-year. Dueto the pandemic, the online sales of laundry appliances reached RMB32.38 billion in the year, a year-on-year increase of 8.9%. The amount represented 49.3% of the total sales, almost a tie with the offlinemarket. In the upgrade of the laundry appliance market, in terms of the product types, the market shareof front-loading products keeps growing stably. In 2020, the market share (by retail sales) increased to

79.8%, with the market share by unit sales reaching 58.8%, making such products the mainstream of the

market. Specifically, the market share by retail sales of front-loading washer-dryers also increased to

45.4%. Compared with top-loading washing machines, front-loading products are of a higher price but

consume less energy, deliver greater cleanness, and cause less tear and wear, which represent aninevitable trend of consumption upgrading. Product specifications continue to upgrade. The products of8kg have been completely replaced by that of 10kg. The offline unit sales of 10kg washers occupiedapproximately a 50% market share, which contributed 61.5% of sales, with an increase of over 10% fromthe previous year. In addition, the products with an over-10kg capacity and separate washing and dryingsections are highly favored by the high-end market. The design of such products focuses more on thinnermachines and space saving. The sterilization technology of laundry appliances has matured. Due to thepandemic, the offline market shares by retail sales and unit sales of the products with the sterilization

function reached 36.4% and 48.2%, respectively. The progress of function expansion from “wash” to“wash and care” still keeps going. For example, air washing, steam washing, and steam and iron washingare strong supplements for the traditional function of washing on eliminating odor, removing wrinkles,sterilizing and eradicating mites, preventing allergy, avoiding laundry detergent residue, and preservingthe texture of clothes. The offline market share of products with the function of air washing increasedsignificantly to 36.7% in 2020. Because the drying function brings the advantages of saving time, beingconvenient, non-ironing, and saving indoor space, the retail sales of clothes dryers in the domestic marketwere RMB2.26 billion in 2020, an increase of 46.2% year-on-year. Meanwhile, the growth momentum ofdomestic brands was strong, and the offline retail sales of domestic brands in 2020 increased nearly 200%year on year. Specifically, the heat pump condenser dryer is rapidly occupying the offline market. In 2020,its offline market shares by retail sales and unit sales reached 94.6% and 96.2%, respectively.According to the data from the National Household Electrical Appliance Industry Information Center, thedomestic retail sales of refrigerators were RMB93 billion in 2020, down 2.8% year-on-year. In thedomestic market, online and offline sales differed in performance, with a rise of 13.6% and a decline of

12.4% respectively compared to last year. Nevertheless, product upgrading was prominent. The unit sales

of multi-door refrigerators continued to grow with their offline market share up by nearly 7% from last yearto 42% in the year under review. Due to consumers' increased willingness to pursue quality life, the trendof high-end products becomes obvious, and the offline market share by unit sales of refrigerators with aunit price of over RMB10,000 increased significantly. In particular, the market share (by retail sales) ofproducts with a unit price of over RMB14,000 increased 2%. Intelligent technologies of high-end productsbring consumers novel experience. For instance, COLMO, a refrigerator brand of Midea, can select themost accurate storage pattern in the background to provide nutritious food for users through the “AIIntelligent Solutions Whole Food Ingredient” technology. The pandemic increased the demand forrefrigerator's functions on product sterilization, health and other aspects. New refrigerators launched allfocused on these functions. For example, Midea Refrigerator manages to remove odor in 19 minutesbased on the “PST + super magnetic electrolysis odor-free technology”. Consumers' requirements forrefrigerators have upgraded from “being able to freeze food” to “being able to freeze food well” and “beingable to freeze food healthily”. Aside from that, products meeting the needs of different scenes likecosmetics, baby food, and breast milk through providing independent and separate storage space also

present a trend of scale expansion.According to the data from the National Household Electrical Appliance Industry Information Center, thedomestic retail sales of kitchen appliances was RMB167.44 billion in 2020, down 4.8% year-on-year.Industrial landscape shows a further concentration of market shares to top brands in the industry. Offlinemarket shares of top five range hood brands reached 74.8%; and the market shares of top five gas waterheater brands reached 72.6%. The kitchen appliance market continues to move towards high-endproducts, as high-quality and high-end products become preferable to consumers. To state with numbers,in 2020, the offline sales of high-end range hoods above RMB6,000 and high-end gas stoves aboveRMB3,500 saw an increase of 2.3% and 4.5%, respectively.

In all categories, the sales of traditional productsin 2020 have not seen a promising growth. The annual sales of rice cookers were RMB13.61 billion, andthe retail sales have been down 13.2% year-on-year. However, the market of emerging and health-friendlysmall domestic appliances told a different story. The diversified and individualized consumer needs haveresulted in rapid growth for these products, driving the emergence of more niche products includingjuicers, toasters, muddlers, breakfast machines, etc. While this kind of creative small domestic appliancesis not faced to mass consumers, they are designed into diverse categories and with more specifiedfunctions. The exterior design for these products jumps outside the traditional visual pattern for domesticappliances and they cover all-scene application for all ages from infants, teenagers to seniors. In addition,the small smart domestic appliances for pets are also one of the most fast-growing categories. The annualsales of blenders reached RMB13.62 billion, up 7.7% year-on-year, of which the online sales took up apercentage of 60.7%. Functions that can solve pain points of consumers including silent mode, auto-cleaning and detachability of products have been designed upon needs. For example, the online sales ofproducts equipped with silent settings have seen an increase of over 150% year-on-year. The sales ofhealth-friendly vacuum cleaners during the COVID-19 pandemic were also promising. In 2020, thedomestic sales of vacuum cleaners were RMB23.18 billion, up 15.3% year-on-year, of which the onlinesales took up a percentage of over 80%. By categories, as consumption upgrading has made vacuumcleaners an integral part of domestic appliances, the online unit sales of handheld vacuum cleaners hasseen a year-on-year increase of 48.8%; and the unit sales of robot cleaners and dust mite vacuumcleaners has both seen a year-on-year increase of 13.9%. As the needs for house cleaning continue togrow, multiple new cleaning appliances such as steam mops and scrubbers have emerged. By industriallandscape, the distance on product competitiveness between domestic brands and foreign brands isgradually narrowing, as Chinese enterprises have been making various breakthroughs on digital motorsand other core technologies. As the data show, four out of the Top 5 brands on the online retail sales listare Chinese brands, with a combined percentage of 41.3%, achieving a steady year-on-year growth. By

development of product technologies, the competition in the vacuum cleaner market has switched itsfocus from price and capacity to user experience. Accordingly, new technologies including integration ofmoping and vacuuming, automatic dust collector, self-cleaning mops and bendable fronts have beendeveloped. These new technologies have solved pain points of consumers from multiple dimensions andimproved user experience.According to the data from the National Household Electrical Appliance Industry Information Center, theonline retail sales of home appliances in China amounted to RMB336.8 billion in 2020, up 8.4% year-on-year, accounting for a market share of 46.2%; while the offline retail sales amounted to RMB392.9 billion,down 20.2% year-on-year, accounting for 53.8%. In light of channel retail sales, most product categoriesincluding refrigerators, laundry appliances, kitchen appliances and small domestic appliances achievedgrowth in the online market. The offline market, on the other hand, saw a year-on-year decline in mostproduct categories, especially the traditional major appliances. That said, due to the gradual recovery ofconsumer confidence and the fast growth in the high-end market, more consumers spend on qualityproducts in the offline market. According to the data from the National Household Electrical ApplianceIndustry Information Center, 2020 witnessed a substantial increase in the offline unit sales of Grade 1variable frequency air conditioners, 400L-plus refrigerators, heat pump dryers, water purifiers with a unitprice of over RMB5,000, vacuum cleaners with a unit price of over RMB4,000, etc. In terms of channelevolvement, the booming digital economy accelerated the integration of online and offline channels, witha surge of new models and forms boosting consumption upgrading. Meanwhile, the rising interactivemarketing models such as live streaming and e-commerce, the innovative C2M model, the Internet, AI,big data and the like are pushing the retail sector into a new phase featuring “all channels, all scenes andall links”.B. Robotics and Industrial Automation IndustryAccording to MIR, the shipment of industrial robotics was 171,490 units in China in 2020, representingan increase of 14.8% year-on-year. In terms of the market changes throughout the year, the pandemichas not changed the prosperous trend in markets. Though the economy dropped sharply in the firstquarter due to the shock on markets brought by the pandemic, the domestic economy continuouslyrecovered its operation as the prevention and control of the pandemic gradually stepped into a stable

stage since the second quarter. In addition, a large number of orders in manufacturing flew back underthe impact of the severe overseas situation of pandemic, which also sped up the quick recovery of themarket, presenting a tendency of opening low and rising in the year. By industry, the electronic industryand the general industrial investment served as the main growth momentum for the market. Substantialinvestment was made in various industries including smart phones and components, intelligent wearables,laptops, Li-ion batteries, photovoltaic power, metal processing and food and beverage. Besides, owing tothe pandemic, the demand for the anti-pandemic and treatment supplies surged, and the application ofrobotics in new occasions was continuously expedited by the demand for nucleic acid and serology testsand the delivery of medical supplies. By application, the integration between robotics and technology wascontinued to be deepened. The application of robots was further expanded from “transfer-based” tasksto “processing-based” tasks. As a result, the robotic industry has made a further breakthrough ininnovative applications such as soft float in die-casting, chair panel drilling, FPC-FFC connectors,welding-cutting of medium-thick plates, as well as mixed robotic palletizers. In addition, according toanalysis from the GGII, it is predicted that the overall market of industrial robotics will present a tendencyof growth in the next two years. In detail, it is expected that some segments will achieve a record highgrowth, and the pattern of product segments will be reshaped. Specifically, multi-joint robotics mainlydepended on the small six-axis robotics as driving force which attracted various manufacturers, mainlyfocusing on the industrial applications such as 3C and new-energy products. The demand in theautomobile industry tended to be stable, producing a limited general driving effect. Similarly, the demandfor medium-load and large-load products witnessed limited growth. As for robotics, the SCARA roboticsbenefited from the demand in the 3C industry, reaching a market growth of above 30%. The delta roboticsachieved a market growth of about 20% in the first half of 2020 owing to the impact of the food andmedicine segments. The collaborative robot market received increasing popularity in the segments ofservices and attracted a lot number of manufacturers to put in a larger deal of effort on services, as thoughthe overall growth of the market slowed down a bit.In terms of policy support, the Ministry of Industry and Information unveiled in 2020 the Guiding Opinionson the Development of Industrial Big Data for the purposes of implementing the national big datadevelopment strategy, furthering the digital transformation of industries, unlocking the potential ofindustrial data resource elements, and accelerating the development of the industrial big data industry.

In March 2020, the Central Politburo Standing Committee of the Communist Party of China put forwardin a meeting to speed up the construction of new infrastructure including 5G networks and data centers.In April 2020, the National Development and Reform Commission defined clearly the scope of newinfrastructure for the first time, which comprises information, integrated and innovative infrastructure. InMay 2020, it was mentioned in the Report on the Work of the Government 2020 that support should befocused on new infrastructure, new urbanization initiatives and major projects such as transportation andhydraulic engineering. As China vigorously encourages the construction of new infrastructure, theindustrial robotics industry is considered to have enormous potential. From the perspective of localgovernment policies, relevant policies were issued by local governments to promote the development ofthe robot industry. For example, Jiangsu Province issued the Opinions on Deeply Pushing forwardDevelopment of Digital Economy, Guangdong Province issued the Implementation Plan of GuangdongProvince for Promoting New Infrastructure Construction in Three Years (2020-2022) and the Work Planfor Building a National Digital Economy Innovation and Development Pilot Zone in Guangdong Province,and Shanghai City issued the Plan for Special Actions of Building 100+ Smart Factories in Shanghai City.According to the latest statistics of IFR, in terms of industrial robotic density (the average number ofindustrial robotics per 10,000 workers), Singapore continues to rank No.1 in the world with 918 robotics,while the robotic density of China has surpassed France for the first time and has risen to 187, up 33%compared with that in 2018 and far beyond the global average of 113, indicating great potential andprospects. Supported by diverse factors such as flexible demands of the manufacturing sector, decliningdemographic dividend, emerging markets and the development of innovative technologies, industrialrobotics will be applied to more and more areas.

Meanwhile, the Company willstrictly control investment in infrastructure and capacity expansion, as well as non-operating expenditures.The capital expenditures will primarily come from the Company’s own funds.

9.4 Main risks in future development

a. Risk associated with the COVID-19 outbreakThe fluctuations and repeated outbreaks of the COVID-19 pandemic may impact the demand, productionand sales of the Company’s products and services. Pandemic control measures, such as lockdown, socialdistancing, and travel restrictions, reduce customer mobility. Other consequences include limitedproduction and operations in some regions, the shutdown of retail outlets, suspended customeroperations, and increased logistics costs. All these factors bring about uncertainties and challenges tothe normal functioning of the Company and the market environment.

b. Risk of macro economy fluctuationThe market demand for the Company’s consumer appliances, HVAC equipment, industrial robotics,among other products, can be easily affected by the economic situation and macro control. If the globaleconomy encounters a heavy hit and consumer demand slows down in growth, the growth of theindustries in which the Company operates, may slow down accordingly, and as a result, this may affectthe product sales of Midea Group.c. Risks in the fluctuation of production factorsThe raw materials required by Midea Group to manufacture its consumer appliances and corecomponents primarily include different grades of copper, steel, aluminum, and plastics. At present, thehousehold appliance manufacturing sector belongs to a labor intensive industry. If the price of rawmaterials fluctuate largely, or there is a large fluctuation in the cost of production factors (labor, water,electricity, and land) caused by a change to the macroeconomic environment and policy change, or thecost reduction resulted from lean production and improved efficiency, as well as the sale prices of endproducts cannot offset the total effects of cost fluctuations, the Company’s business will be influenced tosome degree.d. Risk in global asset allocation and overseas market expansionInternationalization and global operations is a long-term strategic goal of the Company. The Companyhas built joint-venture manufacturing bases in many countries around the world. Progress has been madeday by day regarding the Company’s overseas operations and new business expansion. However, itsefforts in global resource integration may not be able to produce expected synergies; and in overseasmarket expansion, there are still unpredictable risks such as local political and economic situations,significant changes in law and regulation systems, and sharp increases in production costs.e. Risk in foreign exchange losses caused by exchange rate fluctuationAs Midea carries on with its overseas expansion plan, its overseas sales have accounted for more than40% of the total revenues. Any sharp exchange rate fluctuation might not only bring negative effects on

the overseas operations of the Company, but could also lead to exchange losses and increase its financecosts.f. Market risks brought by trade frictions and tariff barriersDue to the rise of anti-globalization and trade protectionism, China will see more uncertainties in exportin 2021. The trade barriers and frictions of some major markets will affect the export business in the shortrun, as well as marketing planning and investment in the medium and long run. Political and compliancerisks are rising in international trade. These can mainly be seen on compulsory safety certificates,international standards and requirements, and product quality and management systems certification,energy-saving requirements, the call for increasingly strict environmental protection requirements, as wellas with rigorous requirements for recycling household appliances waste. Trade frictions caused by anti-dumping measures implemented by some countries and regions aggravate the burden in costs andexpenses for household appliance enterprises, and have brought about new challenges to marketplanning and business expansion for enterprises.In face of the complicated and changeable environment and risks at home and abroad, Midea will strictlyfollow the Company Law, the Securities Law, the CSRC regulations and other applicable rules, keepimproving its governance structure for better compliance, and reinforce its internal control system so asto effectively prevent and control various risks and ensure its sustained, steady and healthy development.

a. The Proposal on the Plan for the Repurchase of Some Public Shares (hereinafter referred to as the“2020 Repurchase Plan”) was approved at the 18th Meeting of the 3rd Board of Directors on 21 February2020. As such, the Company was agreed to repurchase, with its own funds, no less than 40,000,000shares and no more than 80,000,000 shares by way of centralized bidding at a price not exceedingRMB65/share (adjusted to a price not exceeding RMB63.41/share upon the implementation of the 2019Annual Profit Distribution Plan). All the repurchased shares would be used for the Company’s equityincentive schemes and/or employee stock ownership schemes.

As disclosed in the Announcement on the Completion of the Implementation of the Share RepurchasePlan dated 23 October 2020, during the repurchase period, the Company had repurchased 41,826,050shares (0.5953% of the Company’s total share capital as of 21 October 2020) by way of centralizedbidding. With the highest trading price being RMB74.99/share and the lowest being RMB46.30/share, thetotal payment amounted to RMB2,697,409,655.33 (exclusive of trading fees). Therefore, the Companyhas repurchased over 40,000,000 shares (the lower limit for this share repurchase) for the 2020Repurchase Plan, and the fact that the Company’s share price has been consistently higher than theupper limit of the repurchase price has made continued repurchase unlikely. Therefore, theimplementation of this share repurchase plan has been completed.So far, cumulatively 10,635,020

repurchased shares have been transferred. If the Company does not use the repurchased shares for theaforesaid purposes within 36 months upon the completion of the share repurchase, the unused shareswill be retired following the relevant procedure.Progress of any repurchased share reduction through centralized price bidding

(5) Business combinations

(a) Business combinations involving enterprises under common control

The consideration paid and net assets obtained by the Group in a business combination aremeasured at the carrying amount. If the absorbing party was bought by the ultimatecontroller from a third party in prior years, the value of its assets and liabilities (includinggoodwill generated due to the combination) are based on the carrying amount in the ultimatecontroller’s consolidated financial statements. The difference between the carrying amountof the net assets obtained by the Group and the carrying amount of the consideration paidfor the combination is treated as an adjustment to capital surplus (share premium). If thecapital surplus (share premium) is not sufficient to absorb the difference, the remainingbalance is adjusted against retained earnings. Costs directly attributable to the combinationare included in profit or loss in the period in which they are incurred. Transaction costsassociated with the issue of equity or debt securities for the business combination areincluded in the initially recognised amounts of the equity or debt securities.

(b) Business combinations involving enterprises not under common control

The cost of combination and identifiable net assets obtained by the Group in a businesscombination are measured at fair value at the acquisition date. Where the cost of thecombination exceeds the acquirer’s interest in the fair value of the acquiree’s identifiable netassets, the difference is recognised as goodwill; where the cost of combination is lower thanthe acquirer’s interest in the fair value of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets, the differenceis recognised in profit or loss for the current period. Costs directly attributable to thecombination are included in profit or loss in the period in which they are incurred. Transactioncosts associated with the issue of equity or debt securities for the business combination areincluded in the initially recognised amounts of the equity or debt securities.

For business combinations achieved by stages involving enterprises not under commoncontrol, previously-held equity in the acquiree is remeasured at its fair value at theacquisition dates, and the difference between its fair value and carrying amount is includedin investment income for the current period. Where the previously-held equity in the acquireeinvolves other comprehensive income under equity method and shareholders’ equitychanges other than those arising from the net profit or loss, other comprehensive incomeand profit distribution, the related other comprehensive income and other shareholders'equity changes are transferred into income for the current period to which the acquisitiondates belong, excluding those arising from changes in the investee's remeasurements ofnet liability or net asset related to the defined benefit plan. The excess of the sum of fairvalue of the previously-held equity and fair value of the consideration paid at the acquisitiondates over share of fair value of identifiable net assets acquired from the subsidiary isrecognised as goodwill.

(6) Preparation of consolidated financial statements

The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of the Companyand all of its subsidiaries.

Subsidiaries are consolidated from the date on which the Group obtains control and are de-consolidated from the date that such control ceases. For a subsidiary that is acquired in abusiness combination involving enterprises under common control, it is included in theconsolidated financial statements from the date when it, together with the Company, comesunder common control of the ultimate controlling party. The portion of the net profits realisedbefore the combination date is presented separately in the consolidated income statement.

In preparing the consolidated financial statements, where the accounting policies and theaccounting periods of the Company and subsidiaries are inconsistent, the financialstatements of the subsidiaries are adjusted in accordance with the accounting policies andthe accounting period of the Company. For subsidiaries acquired from businesscombinations involving enterprises not under common control, the individual financialstatements of the subsidiaries are adjusted based on the fair value of the identifiable netassets at the acquisition date.

All significant intra-group balances, transactions and unrealised profits are eliminated in theconsolidated financial statements. The portion of subsidiaries’ shareholders' equity and theportion of subsidiaries’ net profits and losses and comprehensive incomes for the period notattributable to the Company are recognised as minority interests, net profit attributed tominority interests and total comprehensive incomes attributed to non-controlling interestsand presented separately in the consolidated financial statements under shareholders'equity, net profit and total comprehensive income respectively. Where the loss for the currentperiod attributable to the minority shareholders of the subsidiaries exceeds the share of theminority interests in the opening balance of equity, the excess is deducted against minorityinterests. Unrealised profits and losses resulting from the sales of assets by the Companyto its subsidiaries are fully eliminated against net profit attributable to shareholders of theparent company. Unrealised profits and losses resulting from the sales of assets by asubsidiary to the Company are eliminated and allocated between net profit attributable toshareholders of the parent company and net profit attributable to minority interests inaccordance with the allocation proportion of the parent company in the subsidiary.Unrealised profits and losses resulting from the sales of assets by one subsidiary to anotherare eliminated and allocated between net profit attributable to shareholders of the parentcompany and net profit attributable to minority interests in accordance with the allocationproportion of the parent company in the subsidiary. If the accounting treatment of atransaction is inconsistent in the financial statements at the Group level and at the Companyor its subsidiary level, adjustment will be made from the perspective of the Group.

Exchangedifferences arising from these translations are recognised in profit or loss for the currentperiod, except for those attributable to foreign currency borrowings that have been takenout specifically for acquisition or construction of qualifying assets, which are capitalised aspart of the cost of those assets. Non-monetary items denominated in foreign currencies thatare measured at historical costs are translated at the balance sheet date using the spotexchange rates at the date of the transactions. The effect of exchange rate changes on cashis presented separately in the cash flow statement.

(9) Financial instruments

A financial instrument is any contract that gives rise to a financial asset of one entity and afinancial liability or equity instrument of another entity. A financial asset or a financial liabilityis recognised when the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of theinstrument.

(a) Financial assets

(i) Classification and measurement

Based on the business model for managing the financial assets and the contractual cashflow characteristics of the financial assets, financial assets are classified as: (1) financialassets at amortised cost; (2) financial assets at fair value through other comprehensiveincome; (3) financial assets at fair value through profit or loss.

The financial assets are measured at fair value at initial recognition. Related transactioncosts that are attributable to the acquisition of the financial assets are included in the initiallyrecognised amounts, except for the financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, therelated transaction costs of which are recognised directly in profit or loss for the currentperiod. Accounts receivable or notes receivable arising from sales of products or renderingof services (excluding or without regard to significant financing components) are initiallyrecognised at the consideration that is entitled to be charged by the Group as expected.

(i-1) Debt instruments

The debt instruments held by the Group refer to the instruments that meet the definition offinancial liabilities from the perspective of the issuer, and are measured in the following threeways:

Measured at amortised cost:

The objective of the Group’s business model is to hold the financial assets to collect thecontractual cash flows, and the contractual cash flow characteristics are consistent with abasic lending arrangement, which gives rise on specified dates to the contractual cash flowsthat are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding. Theinterest income of such financial assets is recognised using the effective interest method.Such financial assets mainly comprise cash at bank and on hand, loans and advances,notes receivable, accounts receivable, other receivables, debt investments and long-termreceivables, etc. Debt investments and long-term receivables that are due within one year(inclusive) as from the balance sheet date are included in the current portion of non-currentassets; debt investments with maturities of no more than one year (inclusive) at the time ofacquisition are included in other current assets.

(i-1) Debt instruments (Cont’d)

Measured at fair value through other comprehensive income:

The objective of the Group’s business model is to hold the financial assets to both collectthe contractual cash flows and sell such financial assets, and the contractual cash flowcharacteristics are consistent with a basic lending arrangement. Such financial assets aremeasured at fair value through other comprehensive income, except for the impairmentgains or losses, foreign exchange gains and losses, and interest income calculated usingthe effective interest method which are recognised in profit or loss for the current period.Such financial assets mainly include receivables financing, other debt investments, etc.Other debt investments of the Group that are due within one year (inclusive) as from thebalance sheet date are included in the current portion of non-current assets; other debtinvestments with maturities no more than one year (inclusive) at the time of acquisition areincluded in other current assets.

Measured at fair value through profit or loss:

Debt instruments held by the Group that are not divided into those at amortised cost, orthose measured at fair value through other comprehensive income, are measured at fairvalue through profit or loss. At initial recognition, the Group designates a portion of financialassets as at fair value through profit or loss to eliminate or significantly reduce an accountingmismatch. Financial assets that are due over one year as from the balance sheet date andare expected to be held over one year are included in other non-current financial assets,and others are included in financial assets held for trading.

(i-2) Equity instruments

Investments in equity instruments, over which the Group has no control, joint control orsignificant influence, are measured at fair value through profit or loss under financial assetsheld for trading; investments in equity instruments expected to be held over one year asfrom the balance sheet date are included in other non-current financial assets.

In addition, a portion of certain investments in equity instruments not held for trading aredesignated as financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income underother investments in equity instruments. The relevant dividend income of such financialassets is recognised in profit or loss for the current period.

(i-3) Derivative financial instruments

The derivative financial instruments held or issued by the Group are mainly used incontrolling risk exposures. Derivative financial instruments are initially recognised at fairvalue on the day when derivatives transaction contract was signed, and subsequentlymeasured at fair value. The derivative financial instruments are recorded as assets whenthey have a positive fair value and as liabilities when they have a negative fair value.

(a) Financial assets (Cont’d)

(i) Classification and measurement (Cont’d)

(i-3) Derivative financial instruments (Cont’d)

The method for recognising changes in fair value of the derivative financial instrumentdepends on whether the derivative financial instrument is designated as a hedginginstrument and meets the requirement for it, and if so, the nature of the item being hedged.For derivative financial instruments that are not designated as hedging instruments and failto meet requirements on hedging instruments, including those held for the purpose ofproviding hedging against specific risks in interest rate and foreign exchange but notconforming with requirements of hedge accounting, the changes in fair value are recordedin gains or losses arising from changes in fair value in the consolidated income statement.

Cash flow hedge

The effective portion of gains or losses on hedging instruments is recognised in othercomprehensive income as cash flow hedging reserve, while the ineffective portion isrecognised in profit or loss for the current period. Where the hedge is a forecast transactionwhich subsequently results in the recognition of a non-financial asset or liability, the amountoriginally recognised in other comprehensive income is transferred and included in theinitially recognised amount of the asset or liability. For cash flow hedge beyond the foregoingscope, the amount originally recognised in other comprehensive income is transferred andincluded in profit or loss for the current period during the same time in which the profit orloss is influenced by the hedged expected cash flow. However, if all or part of net lossrecognised directly in other comprehensive income will not be recovered in futureaccounting periods, the amount not expected to be recovered should be transferred to profitor loss for the current period. When the Group revokes the designation of a hedge, a hedginginstrument expires or is sold, terminated or exercised, or the hedge no longer meets thecriteria for hedge accounting, the Group will discontinue the hedge accounting treatmentsprospectively. Where the Group discontinues the hedge accounting treatment for cash flowhedging, for hedged future cash flows that will still happen, the accumulated gains or lossesthat have been recognised in other comprehensive income are retained and subject toaccounting treatment under the subsequent treatment method of aforesaid cash flowhedging reserve; for hedged future cash flows that the forecast transaction will neverhappen, the accumulated gains or losses that have been recognised in other comprehensiveincome are transferred immediately and included in profit or loss for the current period.

(ii) Impairment

Loss provision for financial assets at amortised cost, investments in debt instruments at fairvalue through other comprehensive income, as well as contract assets and financialguarantee contracts is recognised on the basis of ECL.

Giving consideration to reasonable and supportable information on past events, currentconditions, forecasts of future economic conditions and forward-looking information, andweighted by the risk of default, the Group recognises the ECL as the probability-weightedamount of the present value of the difference between the cash flows receivable from thecontract and the cash flows expected to collect.

(a) Financial assets (Cont’d)

(ii) Impairment (Cont’d)

As at each balance sheet date, the ECL of financial instruments at different stages aremeasured respectively. 12-month ECL provision is recognised for financial instruments inStage 1 that have not had a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition; lifetimeECL provision is recognised for financial instruments in Stage 2 that have had a significantincrease in credit risk yet without credit impairment since initial recognition; and lifetime ECLprovision is recognised for financial instruments in Stage 3 that have had credit impairmentsince initial recognition.

For the financial instruments with lower credit risk on the balance sheet date, the Groupassumes there is no significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition and recognisesthe 12-month ECL provision.

For the financial instruments in Stage 1, Stage 2 and with lower credit risk, the Groupcalculates the interest income by applying the effective interest rate to the gross carryingamount (before deduction of the impairment provision). For the financial instruments inStage 3, the interest income is calculated by applying the effective interest rate to theamortised cost (after deduction of the impairment provision from the gross carrying amount).

(a) Financial assets (Cont’d)

(ii) Impairment (Cont’d)

For notes receivable, accounts receivable, receivables financing and contract assets arisingfrom sales of goods and rendering of services in the ordinary course of operating activities,the Group recognises the lifetime ECL provision regardless of whether there exists asignificant financing component. Since contract assets are related to work in progresswithout invoice, essentially, their risk characteristics are the same as the accountsreceivable of similar contracts. Therefore, the Group believes that the ECL rate of accountsreceivable is an approximation to that of contract assets.

In case the ECL of an individually assessed financial asset cannot be evaluated withreasonable cost, the Group divides the receivables and contract assets into certaingroupings based on credit risk characteristics, then pursuant to which, calculates the ECL.Basis and provision method for determining groupings are as follows:

Notes receivable - Bank acceptance notesBank credit risk grouping
Notes receivable - Trade acceptance notesNon-bank credit risk grouping
Accounts receivableDomestic/overseas business grouping
Contract assetsDomestic/overseas business grouping
Other receivablesSecurity deposit/guarantee payables grouping
Long-term receivablesFinance lease payable grouping
Loans and advancesLoans business grouping

The Group, on the basis of the exposure at default and the lifetime ECL rate, calculates theECL of notes receivable and receivables financing that are classified into groupings withconsideration to historical credit losses experience, current conditions and forecasts offuture economic conditions.

With consideration to historical credit loss experience, current conditions and forecasts offuture economic conditions, the Group prepares the cross-reference between the numberof overdue days of accounts receivable and the lifetime ECL rate, and calculates the ECLof accounts receivable that are classified into groupings.

The Group, on the basis of the exposure at default and the 12-month or lifetime ECL rate,calculates the ECL of other receivables, loans and advances, and long-term receivables thatare classified into groupings with consideration to historical credit losses experience, thecurrent conditions and forecasts of future economic conditions.

The Group recognises the loss provision made or reversed into profit or loss for the currentperiod. For debt instruments held at fair value through other comprehensive income, theGroup adjusts other comprehensive income while the impairment loss or gain is recognisedin profit or loss for the current period.

(9) Financial instruments (Cont’d)

(a) Financial assets (Cont’d)

(iii) Derecognition of financial assets

A financial asset is derecognised when: (i) the contractual rights to the cash flows from thefinancial asset expire, (ii) the financial asset has been transferred and the Group transferssubstantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset to the transferee,or (iii) the financial asset has been transferred and the Group has not retained control of thefinancial asset, although the Group neither transfers nor retains substantially all the risksand rewards of ownership of the financial asset.

When a financial asset is derecognised, the difference between the carrying amount andthe sum of the consideration received and the cumulative changes in fair value that arepreviously recognised directly in other comprehensive income is recognised in profit or lossfor the current period, except for those as investments in other equity instruments, thedifference aforementioned is recognised in retained earnings instead.

(b) Financial liabilities

Financial liabilities are classified as financial liabilities at amortised cost and financialliabilities at fair value through profit or loss at initial recognition.

Financial liabilities of the Group mainly comprise financial liabilities at amortised cost,including notes payable, accounts payable, other payables, borrowings and short-termfinancing bonds payable in other current liabilities, customer deposits and deposits frombanks and other financial institutions, borrowings from the Central Bank, long-termpayables, etc. Such financial liabilities are initially recognised at fair value, net of transactioncosts incurred, and subsequently measured using the effective interest method. Financialliabilities that are due within one year (inclusive) are classified as current liabilities; thosewith maturities over one year but are due within one year (inclusive) as from the balancesheet date are classified as current portion of non-current liabilities. Others are classified asnon-current liabilities.

A financial liability is derecognised or partly derecognised when the underlying presentobligation is discharged or partly discharged. The difference between the carrying amountof the derecognised part of the financial liability and the consideration paid is recognised inprofit or loss for the current period.

(9) Financial instruments (Cont’d)

(c) Determination of fair value of financial instruments

The fair value of a financial instrument that is traded in an active market is determined atthe quoted price in the active market. The fair value of a financial instrument that is nottraded in an active market is determined by using a valuation technique. In valuation, theGroup adopts valuation techniques applicable in the current situation and supported byadequate available data and other information, selects inputs with the same characteristicsas those of assets or liabilities considered in relevant transactions of assets or liabilities bymarket participants, and gives priority to the use of relevant observable inputs. Whenrelevant observable inputs are not available or feasible, unobservable inputs are adopted.

(10) Receivables

Receivables comprise accounts receivable, other receivables, notes receivable, long-termreceivables, loans and advances, etc. Accounts receivable arising from sale of goods orrendering of services are initially recognised at fair value of the contractual payments fromthe buyers or service recipients, and subsequently measured at amortised cost lessprovision for impairment using the effective interest method. Provision for impairment ofreceivables are set out in Note 2(9)(a).

(11) Inventories

(a) Classification of inventories

Inventories, including raw materials, consigned processing materials, low valueconsumables, work in progress, contract performance costs and finished goods, aremeasured at the lower of cost and net realisable value.

(b) Costing of inventories

Cost is determined using the first-in, first-out method when issued. The cost of finishedgoods and work in progress comprises raw materials, direct labour and systematicallyallocated production overhead based on the normal production capacity.

(c) Basis for determining net realisable values of inventories and method for making provision

for decline in the value of inventories

Inventories are initially measured at cost. The cost of inventories comprises purchase cost,processing cost and other expenditures to bring the inventories to current site and condition.

On the balance sheet date, inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realisablevalue.

Net realisable value is determined based on the estimated selling price in the ordinarycourse of business, less the estimated costs to completion and estimated costs necessaryto make the sale and related taxes.

(11) Inventories (Cont'd)

(c) Basis for determining net realisable values of inventories and method for making provision

for decline in the value of inventories (Cont’d)

Provision for decline in the value of inventories is determined at the excess amount of thecost as calculated based on the classification of inventories over their net realisable value,and are recognised in profit or loss for the current period.

(d) Inventory system

The Group adopts the perpetual inventory system.

(e) Amortisation methods of low value consumables and packaging materials

Low value consumables are expensed in full when issued and recognised in cost of relatedassets or in profit or loss for the current period.

(12) Long-term equity investments

Long-term equity investments comprise the Company’s long-term equity investments in itssubsidiaries, and the Group’s long-term equity investments in its associates and jointventure.

Subsidiaries are the investees over which the Company is able to exercise control. A jointventure is a joint arrangement which is structured through a separate vehicle over which theGroup has joint control together with other parties and only has rights to the net assets ofthe arrangement based on legal forms, contractual terms and other facts and circumstances.Associates are the investees that the Group has significant influence on their financial andoperating policies.

Investments in subsidiaries are presented in the Company’s financial statements using thecost method, and are adjusted to the equity method when preparing the consolidatedfinancial statements. Investments in a joint venture and associates are accounted for usingthe equity method.

(a) Determination of investment cost

For long-term equity investments acquired through a business combination involvingenterprises under common control, the investment cost shall be the absorbing party’s shareof the carrying amount of equity of the party being absorbed in the consolidated financialstatements of the ultimate controller at the combination date; for long-term equity investmentacquired through a business combination involving enterprises not under common control,the investment cost shall be the combination cost.

For business combinations achieved by stages involving enterprises not under commoncontrol, the initial investment cost accounted for using the cost method is the sum of carryingamount of previously-held equity investment and additional investment cost. For previously-held equity accounted for using the equity method, the accounting treatment of related othercomprehensive income from disposal of the equity is carried out on a same basis with theinvestee's direct disposal of related assets or liabilities. Shareholders' equity, which isrecognised due to changes in investee’s shareholders’ equity other than those arising fromthe net profit or loss, other comprehensive income and profit distribution, is accordinglytransferred into profit or loss in the period in which the investment is disposed.

(12) Long-term equity investments (Cont’d)

(a) Determination of investment cost (Cont’d)

For investment in previously-held equity accounted for using the recognition andmeasurement standards of financial instruments, the initial investment cost accounted forusing the cost method is the sum of carrying amount of previously-held equity investmentand additional investment cost. The difference between the fair value and carrying amountfor investment in previously-held equity and the accumulated changes in fair valuepreviously included in other comprehensive income are transferred to profit or loss for thecurrent period accounted for using the cost method.

For long-term equity investments acquired not through a business combination: for long-term equity investments acquired by payment in cash, the initial investment cost shall bethe purchase price actually paid; for long-term equity investments acquired by issuing equitysecurities, the initial investment cost shall be the fair value of the equity securities issued.

(b) Subsequent measurement and recognition methods of gains and losses

For long-term equity investments accounted for using the cost method, they are measuredat the initial investment costs, and cash dividends or profit distribution declared by theinvestees are recognised as investment income in profit or loss.

For long-term equity investments accounted for using the equity method, where the initialinvestment cost of a long-term equity investment exceeds the Group’s share of the fair valueof the investee’s identifiable net assets at the acquisition date, the long-term equityinvestment is measured at the initial investment cost; where the initial investment cost isless than the Group’s share of the fair value of the investee’s identifiable net assets at theacquisition date, the difference is included in profit or loss and the cost of the long-termequity investment is adjusted upwards accordingly.

For long-term equity investments accounted for using the equity method, the Grouprecognises the investment income according to its share of net profit or loss of the investee.The Group discontinues recognising its share of the net losses of an investee after thecarrying amounts of the long-term equity investment together with any long-term intereststhat in substance form part of the investor’s net investment in the investee are reduced tozero. However, if the Group has obligations for additional losses and the criteria with respectto recognition of provisions under the accounting standards on contingencies are satisfied,the Group continues recognising the investment losses and the provisions. The changes ofthe Group’s share of the investee’s owner's equity other than those arising from the net profitor loss, other comprehensive income and profit distribution, are recognised in the Group’sequity and the carrying amounts of the long-term equity investment are adjusted accordingly.The carrying amount of the investment is reduced by the Group’s share of the profitdistribution or cash dividends declared by an investee. The unrealised profits or lossesarising from the transactions between the Group and its investees are eliminated inproportion to the Group’s equity interest in the investees, based on which the investmentgain or losses are recognised. Any losses resulting from transactions between the Groupand its investees attributable to asset impairment losses are not eliminated.

(c) Basis for determining existence of control, joint control, significant influence over investees

Control is the power to govern an investee and obtain variable returns from participating theinvestee's activities, and the ability to utilise the power of an investee to affect its returns.

(12) Long-term equity investments (Cont’d)

(c) Basis for determining existence of control, joint control, significant influence over investees

(Cont’d)

Joint control is the contractually agreed sharing of control over an arrangement, and relevanteconomic activity can be arranged upon the unanimous approval of the Group and otherparticipants sharing of control rights.

Significant influence is the power to participate in the financial and operating policy decisionsof the investee, but is not control or joint control over those policies.

(d) Impairment of long-term equity investments

The carrying amounts of long-term equity investments in subsidiaries, joint venture andassociates are reduced to the recoverable amounts when the recoverable amounts arebelow their carrying amounts (Note 2(19)).

(13) Investment properties

Investment properties, including land use rights that have already been leased out, buildingsthat are held for the purpose of leasing and buildings that are being constructed ordeveloped for future use for leasing, are measured initially at cost. Subsequent expendituresincurred in relation to an investment property are included in the cost of the investmentproperty when it is probable that the associated economic benefits will flow to the Groupand their costs can be reliably measured; otherwise, the expenditures are recognised inprofit or loss for the period in which they are incurred.

The Group adopts the cost model for subsequent measurement of investment properties.Buildings and land use rights are depreciated or amortised to their estimated net residualvalues over their estimated useful lives. The estimated useful lives, the estimated netresidual values that are expressed as a percentage of cost and the annual depreciation(amortisation) rates of investment properties are as follows:

Estimated useful livesEstimated net residual valuesAnnual depreciation (amortisation) rates
Buildings20 to 40 years5%2.38% to 4.75%
Land use rights40 to 50 years-2% to 2.5%

When an investment property is transferred to owner-occupied properties, it is reclassifiedas fixed asset or intangible asset at the date of the transfer. When an owner-occupiedproperty is transferred out for earning rentals or for capital appreciation, the fixed asset orintangible asset is reclassified as investment properties at its carrying amount at the date ofthe transfer. At the time of transfer, the property is recognised based on the carrying amountbefore transfer.

The investment properties' estimated useful lives, the estimated net residual values and thedepreciation (amortisation) methods applied are reviewed and adjusted as appropriate ateach year-end.

An investment property is derecognised on disposal or when the investment property ispermanently withdrawn from use and no future economic benefits are expected from itsdisposal. The net amount of proceeds from sale, transfer, retirement or damage of aninvestment property after its carrying amount and related taxes and expenses is recognisedin profit or loss for the current period.

(14) Fixed assets

(a) Recognition and initial measurement of fixed assets

Fixed assets comprise buildings, overseas land, machinery and equipment, motor vehicles,electronic equipment and others.

Fixed assets are recognised when it is probable that the related economic benefits will flowto the Group and the costs can be reliably measured. The initial cost of purchased fixedassets include purchase price, related taxes and expenditures that are attributable to theassets incurred before the assets are ready for their intended use. The initial cost of self-constructed fixed assets is determined based on Note 2(15).

Subsequent expenditures incurred for a fixed asset are included in the cost of the fixed assetwhen it is probable that the associated economic benefits will flow to the Group and therelated cost can be reliably measured. The carrying amount of the replaced part isderecognised. All the other subsequent expenditures are recognised in profit or loss in theperiod in which they are incurred.

(b) Depreciation method for fixed assets

Fixed assets are depreciated using the straight-line method to allocate the cost of the assetsto their estimated net residual values over their estimated useful lives. For the fixed assetsthat have been provided for impairment loss, the related depreciation charge is prospectivelydetermined based upon the adjusted carrying amounts over their remaining useful lives.

The estimated useful lives, the estimated net residual values expressed as a percentage ofcost and the annual depreciation rates of the Group's fixed assets are as follows:

CategoriesEstimated useful livesEstimated net residual valuesAnnual depreciation rates
Buildings15 to 50 years0% - 10%6.7% - 1.8%
Machinery and equipment2 to 25 years0% - 10%50% - 3.6%
Motor vehicles2 to 20 years0% - 10%50% - 4.5%
Electronic equipment and others2 to 20 years0% - 10%50% - 4.5%
Overseas landPermanentNot applicableNot applicable

The estimated useful lives and the estimated net residual values of the Group's fixed assetsand the depreciation methods applied to the assets are reviewed, and adjusted asappropriate at each year-end.

(c) The carrying amount of a fixed asset is reduced to the recoverable amount when the

recoverable amount is below the carrying amount (Note 2(19)).

(14) Fixed assets (Cont’d)

(d) Basis for identification of fixed assets held under finance leases and related measurement

A lease that transfers substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of anasset is a finance lease. The leased asset is recognised at the lower of the fair value of theleased asset and the present value of the minimum lease payments. The difference betweenthe recorded amount of the leased asset and the minimum lease payments is accounted foras unrecognised finance charge.

Fixed assets held under a finance lease is depreciated on a basis consistent with thedepreciation policy adopted for fixed assets that are self-owned. When a leased asset canbe reasonably determined that its ownership will be transferred at the end of the lease term,it is depreciated over the period of expected use; otherwise, the leased asset is depreciatedover the shorter period of the lease term and the period of expected use.

(e) Disposal of fixed assets

A fixed asset is derecognised on disposal or when no future economic benefits are expectedfrom its use or disposal. The amount of proceeds from disposal on sales, transfer, retirementor damage of a fixed asset net of its carrying amount and related taxes and expenses isrecognised in profit or loss for the current period.

(15) Construction in progress

Construction in progress is measured at actual cost. Actual cost comprises constructioncosts, installation costs, borrowing costs that are eligible for capitalisation and other costsnecessary to bring the fixed assets ready for their intended use. Construction in progress istransferred to fixed assets when the assets are ready for their intended use, anddepreciation begins from the following month. The carrying amount of construction inprogress is reduced to the recoverable amount when the recoverable amount is below thecarrying amount (Note 2(19)).

(16) Borrowing costs

The borrowing costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition and construction of afixed asset that needs a substantially long period of time for its intended use commence tobe capitalised and recorded as part of the cost of the asset when expenditures for the assetand borrowing costs have been incurred, and the activities relating to the acquisition andconstruction that are necessary to prepare the asset for its intended use have commenced.The capitalisation of borrowing costs ceases when the asset under acquisition orconstruction becomes ready for its intended use and the borrowing costs incurred thereafterare recognised in profit or loss for the current period. Capitalisation of borrowing costs issuspended during periods in which the acquisition or construction of an asset is interruptedabnormally and the interruption lasts for more than 3 months, until the acquisition orconstruction is resumed.

(16) Borrowing costs (Cont'd)

For the specific borrowings obtained for the acquisition or construction of a fixed assetqualifying for capitalisation, the amount of borrowing costs eligible for capitalisation isdetermined by actual interest expenses deducting any interest income earned fromdepositing the unused specific borrowings in the banks or any investment income arising onthe temporary investment of those borrowings during the capitalisation period.

For the general borrowings obtained for the acquisition or construction of a fixed assetqualifying for capitalisation, the amount of borrowing costs eligible for capitalisation isdetermined by applying the weighted average effective interest rate of general borrowings,to the weighted average of the excess amount of cumulative expenditures on the asset overthe amount of specific borrowings. The effective interest rate is the rate at which theestimated future cash flows during the period of expected duration of the borrowings orapplicable shorter period are discounted to the initial amount of the borrowings.

(17) Intangible assets

Intangible assets include land use rights, patents and non-patent technologies, trademarkrights, trademark use rights and others, are measured at cost.

(a) Land use rights

Land use rights are amortised on the straight-line basis over their approved use period of40 to 50 years. If the acquisition costs of the land use rights and the buildings locatedthereon cannot be reasonably allocated between the land use rights and the buildings, allof the acquisition costs are recognised as fixed assets.

(b) Patents and non-patent technologies

Patents are amortised on a straight-line basis over the statutory period of validity, the periodas stipulated by contracts or the beneficial period.

(c) Trademark rights

The trademark rights is measured at cost when acquired and is amortised over theestimated useful life of 4 to 30 years. The cost of trademark rights obtained in the businesscombinations involving enterprises not under common control is measured at fair value. Assome of the trademarks are expected to attract net cash inflows injected into the Group, themanagement considers that these trademarks have an indefinite useful life and arepresented based upon the carrying amounts after deducting the provision for impairment(Note 4(18)).

(d) Trademark use rights

The trademark use rights is measured at cost when acquired. The cost of trademark userights obtained in the business combinations involving enterprises not under commoncontrol is measured at fair value, and is amortised over the estimated useful life of 40 years.

(e) Periodical review of useful life and amortisation method

For an intangible asset with a finite useful life, review of its useful life and amortisationmethod is performed at each year-end, with adjustment made as appropriate.

(f) Research and development (“R&D”)

The expenditure on an internal research and development project is classified intoexpenditure on the research phase and expenditure on the development phase based onits nature and whether there is material uncertainty that the research and developmentactivities can form an intangible asset at the end of the project.

Expenditure on the planned investigation, evaluation and selection for the research ofproduction processes or products is categorised as expenditure on the research phase, andit is recognised in profit or loss when it is incurred. Expenditure on design and test for thefinal application of the development of production processes or products before massproduction is categorised as expenditure on the development phase, which is capitalisedonly if all of the following conditions are satisfied.

? The development of production processes or products has been fully justified by

technical team;? The budget on the development of production processes or products has been

approved by the management;? There is market research analysis that demonstrates the product produced by the

production process or product has the ability of marketing;? There are sufficient technical and financial resources to support the development of

production processes or products and subsequent mass production; and

? Expenditure attributable to the development of production processes or products can

be reliably measured.

Other development expenditures that do not meet the conditions above are recognised inprofit or loss in the period in which they are incurred. Development costs previouslyrecognised as expenses are not recognised as an asset in a subsequent period. Capitalisedexpenditure on the development phase is presented as development costs in the balancesheet and transferred to intangible assets at the date that the asset is ready for its intendeduse.

(g) Impairment of intangible assets

The carrying amounts of intangible assets are reduced to the recoverable amounts whenthe recoverable amounts are below their carrying amounts (Note 2(19)).

(18) Long-term prepaid expenses

Long-term prepaid expenses include the expenditure for improvements to fixed assets heldunder operating leases, and other expenditures that have been incurred but should berecognised as expenses over more than one year in the current and subsequent periods.Long-term prepaid expenses are amortised on the straight-line basis over the expectedbeneficial period and are presented at actual expenditure net of accumulated amortisation.

(19) Impairment of long-term assets

Fixed assets, construction in progress, intangible assets with finite useful lives, investmentproperties measured using the cost model and long-term equity investments in subsidiaries,a joint venture and associates are tested for impairment if there is any indication that theassets may be impaired at the balance sheet date. Intangible assets not ready for theirintended use, intangible assets with infinite useful lives and overseas land are tested at leastannually for impairment, irrespective of whether there is any indication that it may beimpaired. If the result of the impairment test indicates that the recoverable amount of anasset is less than its carrying amount, a provision for impairment and an asset impairmentloss are recognised for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds itsrecoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less coststo sell and the present value of the future cash flows expected to be derived from the asset.Provision for asset impairment is determined and recognised on the individual asset basis.If it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the recoverableamount of a group of assets to which the asset belongs is determined. A group of assets isthe smallest group of assets that is able to generate independent cash inflows.

Goodwill that is separately presented in the financial statements is tested at least annuallyfor impairment, irrespective of whether there is any indication that it may be impaired. Inconducting the test, the carrying value of goodwill is allocated to the related asset group orasset groups which are expected to benefit from the synergies of the business combinationIf the result of the test indicates that the recoverable amount of an asset group or assetgroups, including the allocated goodwill, is lower than its carrying amount, the correspondingimpairment loss is recognised. The impairment loss is first deducted from the carryingamount of goodwill that is allocated to the asset group or asset groups, and then deductedfrom the carrying amounts of other assets within the asset group or asset groups inproportion to the carrying amounts of assets other than goodwill.

Once the above asset impairment loss is recognised, it will not be reversed for the valuerecovered in the subsequent periods.

(20) Employee benefits

Employee benefits include short-term employee benefits, post-employment benefits,termination benefits and other long-term employee benefits provided in various forms ofconsideration in exchange for service rendered by employees or compensations for thetermination of employment relationship.

(a) Short-term employee benefits

Short-term employee benefits include employee wages or salaries, bonus, allowances andsubsidies, staff welfare, premiums or contributions on medical insurance, work injuryinsurance and maternity insurance, housing funds, union running costs and employeeeducation costs, short-term paid absences. The employee benefit liabilities are recognisedin the accounting period in which the service is rendered by the employees, with acorresponding charge to the profit or loss for the current period or the cost of relevant assets.Employee benefits which are non-monetary benefits are measured at fair value.

(20) Employee benefits (Cont’d)

(b) Post-employment benefits

The Group classifies post-employment benefit plans as either defined contribution plans ordefined benefit plans. Defined contribution plans are post-employment benefit plans underwhich the Group pays fixed contributions into a separate fund and will have no obligation topay further contributions; and defined benefit plans are post-employment benefit plans otherthan defined contribution plans. During the reporting period, the Group's defined contributionplans mainly include basic pensions and unemployment insurance, while the defined benefitplans are Toshiba Lifestyle Products & Services Corporation (“TLSC”), and KUKAAktiengesellschaft (“KUKA”) and its subsidiaries (“KUKA Group”) provide supplementalretirement benefits beyond the national regulatory insurance system.

Basic pensions

The Group’s employees participate in the basic pension plan set up and administered bylocal authorities of Ministry of Human Resource and Social Security. Monthly payments ofpremiums on the basic pensions are calculated according to prescribed bases andpercentage by the relevant local authorities. When employees retire, the relevant localauthorities are obliged to pay the basic pensions to them. The amounts based on the abovecalculations are recognised as liabilities in the accounting period in which the service hasbeen rendered by the employees, with a corresponding charge to the profit or loss for thecurrent period or the cost of relevant assets.

Supplementary retirement benefits

The liability recognised in the balance sheet in respect of defined benefit pension plans isthe present value of the defined benefit obligation at the end of the reporting period less thefair value of plan assets. The defined benefit obligation is calculated annually byindependent actuaries using the projected unit credit method at the interest rate of treasurybonds with similar obligation term and currency. The charges related to the supplementalretirement benefits (including current service costs, past-service costs and gains or losseson settlement) and net interest are recognised in the statement of profit or loss or includedin the cost of an asset, and the changes of remeasurement in net liabilities or net assetsarising from the benefit plan are charged or credited to equity in other comprehensiveincome.

(c) Termination benefits

The Group provides compensation for terminating the employment relationship withemployees before the end of the employment contracts or as an offer to encourageemployees to accept voluntary redundancy before the end of the employment contracts.The Group recognises a liability arising from compensation for termination of theemployment relationship with employees, with a corresponding charge to profit or loss forthe current period at the earlier of the following dates: 1) when the Group cannot unilaterallywithdraw an employment termination plan or a curtailment proposal; 2) when the Grouprecognises costs or expenses related to the restructuring that involves the payment oftermination benefits.

(c) Termination benefits (Cont’d)

Early retirement benefits

The Group offers early retirement benefits to those employees who accept early retirementarrangements. The early retirement benefits refer to the salaries and social securitycontributions to be paid to and for the employees who accept voluntary retirement beforethe normal retirement date prescribed by the State, as approved by the management. TheGroup pays early retirement benefits to those early retired employees from the earlyretirement date until the normal retirement date. The Group accounts for the early retirementbenefits in accordance with the treatment for termination benefits, in which the salaries andsocial security contributions to be paid to and for the early retired employees from the off-duty date to the normal retirement date are recognised as liabilities with a correspondingcharge to the profit or loss for the current period. The differences arising from the changesin the respective actuarial assumptions of the early retirement benefits and the adjustmentsof benefit standards are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they occur.

The termination benefits expected to be settled within one year since the balance sheet dateare classified as current liabilities.

(21) General risk reserve

General risk reserve is the reserve appropriated from undistributed profits to cover part ofunidentified potential losses, on the basis of the estimated potential risk value of risk assetsassessed by the standardised approach, which is deducted from recognised provision forimpairment losses on loans. Risk assets include loans and advances, long-term equityinvestments, deposits with banks and other financial institutions and other receivables ofsubsidiary engaged in financial business.

(22) Dividend distribution

Cash dividend is recognised as a liability for the period in which the dividend is approved bythe shareholders’ meeting.

(23) Provisions

Provisions for product warranties, onerous contracts, etc. are recognised when the Grouphas a present obligation, it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be requiredto settle the obligation, and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably.

A provision is initially measured at the best estimate of the expenditure required to settle therelated present obligation. Factors surrounding a contingency, such as the risks,uncertainties and the time value of money, are taken into account as a whole in reachingthe best estimate of a provision. Where the effect of the time value of money is material, thebest estimate is determined by discounting the related future cash outflows. The increase inthe discounted amount of the provision arising from passage of time is recognised asinterest expenses.

The carrying amount of provisions is reviewed at each balance sheet date and adjusted toreflect the current best estimate.

The provisions expected to be settled within one year since the balance sheet date areclassified as current liabilities.

(24) Share-based payment

(a) Type of share-based payment

Share-based payment is a transaction in which the entity acquires services from employeesas consideration for equity instruments of the entity or by incurring liabilities for amountsbased on the equity instruments. Equity instruments include equity instruments of theCompany, its parent company or other accounting entities of the Group. Share-basedpayments are divided into equity-settled and cash-settled payments. The Group’s share-based payments are equity-settled payments.

Equity-settled share-based payment

The Group’s equity-settled share-based payment contains share option incentive plan,restricted share plan and employee stock ownership plan. These plans are measured at thefair value of the equity instruments at grant date and the equity instruments are tradable orexercisable when services in vesting period are completed or specified performanceconditions are met. In the vesting period, the services obtained in the current period areincluded in relevant cost and expenses at the fair value of the equity instruments at grantdate based on the best estimate of the number of tradable or exercisable equity instruments,and capital surplus is increased accordingly. If the subsequent information indicates thenumber of tradable or exercisable equity instruments differs from the previous estimate, anadjustment is made and, on the exercise date, the estimate is revised to equal to the numberof actual vested equity instruments.

(b) Determination of fair value of equity instruments

The Group determines the fair value of share options using option pricing model, which isBlack - Scholes option pricing model.

The fair value of other equity instruments are based on the share prices, which excludedthe price that incentive objects pay, and the number of the shares on the grant date, takinginto account the effects of clause of the Group’s relevant plans.

(26) Revenue (Cont'd)

(b) Rendering of services (Cont’d)

Contract costs include contract performance costs and contract acquisition costs. The costsincurred by the Group for the provision of services are recognised as contract performancecosts. The recognised revenue is carried forward to the cost of sales from main operationsbased on the stage of completion. Incremental costs incurred by the Group for theacquisition of contract are recognised as the costs to obtain a contract. For the costs toobtain a contract with the amortisation period within one year, the costs are charged to profitor loss when incurred. For the costs to obtain a contract with the amortisation period beyondone year, the costs are charged in the current profit or loss on the same basis as aforesaidrevenue of rendering of services recognised under the relevant contract. If the carryingamount of the contract costs is higher than the remaining consideration expected to beobtained by rendering of the service net of the estimated cost to be incurred, the Groupmakes provision for impairment on the excess portion and recognises it as asset impairmentlosses. As at the balance sheet date, based on whether the amortisation period of the coststo fulfil a contract is more than one year when initially recognised, the amount of the Group'scosts to fulfil a contract net of related provision for asset impairment is presented asinventories or other non-current assets. For costs to obtain a contract with amortisationperiod beyond one year at the initial recognition, the amount net of related provision forasset impairment is presented as other non-current assets.

(c) Interest income

Interest income from financial instruments is calculated by effective interest method andrecognised in profit or loss for the current period. Interest income comprises premiums ordiscounts, or the amortisation based on effective rates of other difference between the initialcarrying amount and the due amount of interest-earning assets.

The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financialasset or liability and the interest income or interest costs based on effective rates. Theeffective interest rate is the rate at which the estimated future cash flows during the periodof expected duration of the financial instruments or applicable shorter period are discountedto the current carrying amount of the financial instruments. When calculating the effectiveinterest rate, the Group estimates cash flows by considering all contractual terms of thefinancial instrument (e.g. early repayment options, similar options, etc.), but withoutconsidering future credit losses. The calculation includes all fees and interest paid orreceived that are an integral part of the effective interest rate, transaction costs, and all otherpremiums or discounts.

Interest income from impaired financial assets is calculated at the interest rate that is usedfor discounting estimated future cash flow when measuring the impairment loss.

(d) Dividend income

Dividend income is recognised when the right to receive dividend payment is established.

(e) Rental income

Rental income from investment prosperities is recognised in the income statement on astraight-line basis over the lease period.

(26) Revenue (Cont'd)

(f) Fee and commission income

Fee and commission income is recognised in profit or loss for the current period when theservice is provided. The Group defers the initial charge income or commitment fee incomearising from the forming or acquisition of financial assets as the adjustment to effectiveinterest rate. If the loans are not lent when the loan commitment period is expired, relatedcharges are recognised as fee and commission income.

(27) Government grants

Government grants are transfers of monetary or non-monetary assets from the governmentto the Group at nil consideration, including refund of taxes and financial subsidies, etc.

A government grant is recognised when the conditions attached to it can be complied withand the government grant can be received. For a government grant in the form of transferof monetary assets, the grant is measured at the amount received or receivable For agovernment grant in the form of transfer of non-monetary assets, it is measured at fair value;if the fair value is not reliably determinable, the grant is measured at nominal amount.

Government grants related to assets are grants that are acquired by the Group and usedfor acquisition, construction or forming long-term assets in other ways. Government grantsrelated to income are government grants other than government grants related to assets

Government grants related to assets are recorded as deferred income reasonably andsystematically amortised to profit or loss over the useful life of the related asset.

For government grants related to income, where the grant is a compensation for relatedexpenses or losses to be incurred by the Group in the subsequent periods, the grant isrecognised as deferred income, and included in profit or loss over the periods in which therelated costs are recognised; where the grant is a compensation for related expenses orlosses already incurred by the Group, the grant is recognised immediately in profit or lossfor the current period.

The same kind of government grants are presented with the same method.

Those related to ordinary activities are recorded into operating profit while the other in non-operating income and expenses.

(28) Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities

Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are calculated and recognised based on thedifferences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts(temporary differences). Deferred income tax asset is recognised for the tax losses that canbe carried forward to subsequent years for deduction of the taxable profit in accordance withthe tax laws. No deferred tax liability is recognised for a temporary difference arising fromthe initial recognition of goodwill. No deferred tax asset or deferred tax liability is recognisedfor the temporary differences resulting from the initial recognition of assets or liabilities dueto a transaction other than a business combination, which affects neither accounting profitnor taxable profit (or deductible loss). At the balance sheet date, deferred tax assets anddeferred tax liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the periodwhen the asset is realised or the liability is settled.

Deferred tax assets are only recognised for deductible temporary differences, deductible taxlosses and tax credits to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available inthe future against which the deductible temporary differences, deductible tax losses and taxcredits can be utilised.

Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for temporary differences arising from investments insubsidiaries, associates and joint ventures, except where the Group is able to control thetiming of reversal of the temporary difference, and it is probable that the temporary differencewill not reverse in the foreseeable future. When it is probable that the temporary differencesarising from investments in subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures will be reversed inthe foreseeable future and that the taxable profit will be available in the future against whichthe temporary differences can be utilised, the corresponding deferred tax assets arerecognised.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when:

? the deferred tax assets and liabilities are related to the same tax payer within the Group

and the same taxation authority; and? that tax payer within the Group has a legally enforceable right to offset current taxassets against current tax liabilities.

(29) Leases

(a) Operating leases

Rental expenses for assets held under operating leases are recognised as the cost ofrelevant assets or expenses on a straight-line basis over the lease period. Contingentrentals are recognised as profit and loss for the current period when incurred.

(29) Leases (Cont'd)

(a) Operating leases (Cont’d)

Fixed assets leased out under operating leases, other than investment prosperities (Note2(13), are depreciated in accordance with the depreciation policy stated in Note 2(14(b) andprovided for impairment loss in accordance with the policy stated in Note 2(19). Rentalincome from operating leases is recognised as revenue on a straight-line basis over thelease period. Initial direct costs in large amount arising from assets leased out underoperating leases are capitalised when incurred and recognised as profit and loss for thecurrent period over the lease period on a same basis with revenue recognition; initial directcosts in small amount are directly recognised as profit and loss for the current period.Contingent rentals are recognised as profit and loss for the current period when incurred.

For the rental waivers as a result of COVID-19 and for the period ended 30 June 2021 only,the Group applies the practical expedient and records the waivers in profit or loss in thewaiving period.

(b) Finance leases

The leased asset is recognised at the lower of the fair value of the leased asset and thepresent value of the minimum lease payments. The difference between the recorded amountof the leased asset and the minimum lease payments is accounted for as unrecognisedfinance charge and is amortised using the effective interest method over the period of thelease. A long-term payable is recorded at the amount equal to the minimum lease paymentsless the unrecognised finance charge.

(30) Segment information

The Group identifies operating segments based on the internal organisation structure,management requirements and internal reporting system, and discloses segmentinformation of reportable segments which is determined on the basis of operating segments.

An operating segment is a component of the Group that satisfies all of the followingconditions: (1) the component is able to earn revenue and incur expenses from its ordinaryactivities; (2) whose operating results are regularly reviewed by the Group’s managementto make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and to assess itsperformance, and (3) for which the information on financial position, operating results andcash flows is available to the Group. Two or more operating segments that have similareconomic characteristics and satisfy certain conditions can be aggregated into one singleoperating segment.

(31) Critical accounting estimates and judgements

The Group continually evaluates the critical accounting estimates and key judgementsapplied based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of futureevents that are believed to be reasonable.

(31) Critical accounting estimates and judgements (Cont’d)

Critical accounting estimates and key assumptions

The critical accounting estimates and key assumptions that have a significant risk of causinga material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the nextaccounting year are outlined below:

(i) Provision for impairment of goodwill

The Group tests annually whether goodwill has suffered any impairment. The recoverableamount of the asset group and asset groups that contain the apportioned goodwill isdetermined by the higher value between the use value and the net value that is calculatedby the fair value less the disposal costs. Accounting estimate is required for the calculationof the recoverable amount. The impairment testing is performed by assessing therecoverable amount of the asset group and asset groups containing the relevant goodwill,based on the present value of cash flows forecasts. Key assumptions adopted in theimpairment testing of goodwill included expected revenue growth rates, EBITDA margins,perpetual annual growth rates, discount rates, etc. which involved critical accountingestimates and judgement.

(ii) Income tax and deferred income tax

The Group is subject to enterprise income tax in numerous jurisdictions. There are manytransactions and events for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain during theordinary course of business. Significant judgement is required from the Group in determiningthe provision for income taxes in each of these jurisdictions. Where the final tax outcome ofthese matters is different from the amounts that were initially recorded, such differences willimpact the income tax and deferred tax provisions in the period in which such determinationis made.

As stated in Note 3(1), some subsidiaries of the Group are high-tech enterprises. The “High-Tech Enterprise Certificate” is effective for three years. Upon expiration, application for high-tech enterprise assessment should be submitted again to the relevant governmentauthorities. Based on the past experience of reassessment for high-tech enterprise uponexpiration and the actual condition of the subsidiaries, the Group considers that thesubsidiaries are able to obtain the qualification for high-tech enterprises in future years, andtherefore a preferential tax rate of 15% is used to calculate the corresponding deferredincome tax. If some subsidiaries cannot obtain the qualification for high-tech enterprise uponexpiration, then the subsidiaries are subject to a statutory tax rate of 25% for the calculationof the income tax, which further influences the recognised deferred tax assets, deferred taxliabilities and income tax expenses.

Deferred tax assets are recognised for the deductible tax losses that can be carried forwardto subsequent years to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available in thefuture against which the deductible tax losses can be utilised. Taxable profit that will beavailable in the future includes the taxable profit that will be realised through normaloperations and the taxable profit that will be increased upon the reversal of taxabletemporary differences incurred in prior periods. Judgements and estimates are required todetermine the time and amounts of taxable profit in the future. Any difference between thereality and the estimate may result in adjustment to the carrying amount of deferred taxassets.

(19) Goodwill

The Group’s goodwill had been allocated to the asset group and asset groups at theacquisition date, without any change of goodwill allocation in 2020, and the allocation is asfollows:

31 December 202031 December 2019
Goodwill -
KUKA Group22,836,29422,240,132
TLSC Group2,944,4862,984,110

Others2,931,6542,173,765
30,073,74028,759,313
Less: Provision for impairment(516,522)(552,248)
29,557,21828,207,065

When making an impairment testing of goodwill for assets, the Group compares the carryingamounts of related asset group and asset groups (including goodwill) with their recoverableamounts. If the recoverable amount is lower than the carrying amount, the difference shallbe included in profit or loss for the current period. The Group’s goodwill allocation wasunchanged in 2020.

As at 31 December 2020, the recoverable amount of asset group and asset groups withgoodwill is calculated using discounted future cash flows determined according to thebudget approved by management (the budget period is 5 to 6 years). The future cash flowsbeyond the budget period are calculated based on the estimated perpetual annual growthrates. The perpetual annual growth rates (mainly 1%-2%) applied by management areconsistent with the estimates of the industry, and do not exceed the long-term averagegrowth rates of each product. Management determines expected revenue growth rates(mainly 2.00%-15.87%) and EBITDA margins (mainly 3.05%-11.47%) based on pastexperience and forecast on future market development. The discount rates (mainly 9.48%-

14.49%) used by management are the pre-tax rates that are able to reflect the risks specific

to the related asset group and asset groups. Management analyses the recoverable amountof each asset group and asset groups based on these assumptions and considers that nofurther provision for impairment is necessary for the goodwill.

RMB 2,157,530,000, the unlocking of restricted shares with the amount of RMB537,356,000; the decrease in share premium arose from the repurchase of restricted shareswith the amount of RMB 193,357,000.

shareholders' equity of the parent company in the share-based payment incentive plan withthe amount of RMB 1,022,236,000, while the decrease arose from the transfer of RMB1,051,336,000 to share premium due to exercise of share-based payment incentive plan.

held by the minority shareholders of subsidiaries, including Clivet, Annto Logistics, etc.

(1) Market risk

(a) Foreign exchange risk

The Group mainly operates in China, Europe, America, Asia, South America and Africa forthe manufacturing, sales, investments and financing activities. Any foreign currencydenominated monetary assets and liabilities other than in RMB would subject the Group toforeign exchange exposure.

(b) Interest rate risk

The Group's interest rate risk arises from interest bearing borrowings including long-termborrowings and debentures payable. Financial liabilities issued at floating rates expose theGroup to cash flow interest rate risk. Financial liabilities issued at fixed rates expose theGroup to fair value interest rate risk. The Group determines the relative proportions of itsfixed rate and floating rate contracts depending on the prevailing market conditions. As at31 December 2020, the Group’s long-term interest bearing borrowings at floating ratesamounting to RMB 933,886,000 (31 December 2019: RMB 971,090,000) (Note 4(35)).

Increases in interest rates will increase the cost of new borrowing andthe interest costs with respect to the Group’s outstanding floating rate borrowings, andtherefore could have a material adverse effect on the Group’s financial performance. TheGroup makes adjustments timely with reference to the latest market conditions and mayenter into interest rate swap agreements to mitigate its exposure to interest rate risk.

As at 31 December 2020, if the borrowing rate rises or falls 50 base points while otherfactors remain constant, the group’s profit before tax would increase or decrease amountingto RMB 4,669,000.

As at 31 December 2020, if expected price of the investments heldby the Group fluctuated, the Group's gains or losses on changes in fair value and othercomprehensive incomewould be affected accordingly.

As at 31 December 2020, if the Group’s expected price of equity instruments investmentrises or falls by 10% while other factors remain constant, the Group would have an increaseor decrease profit before tax amounting to RMB 567,581,000 (31 December 2019: RMB283,746,000), and an increase or decrease other comprehensive income amounting to RMB4,665,000 (31 December 2019: Nil).

The Group assesses the credit qualityof and sets credit limits on its customers by taking into account their financial position, theavailability of guarantee from third parties, their credit history and other factors such ascurrent market conditions.

15 Fair value estimates

The level in which fair value measurement is categorised is determined by the level of thefair value hierarchy of the lowest level input that is significant to the entire fair valuemeasurement:

Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for theasset or liability, either directly or indirectly.

Level 3: Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.

(1) Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis

As at 31 December 2020, the assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurringbasis by the above three levels are analysed below:

The Group takes the date on which events causing the transfers between the levels takeplace as the timing specific for recognising the transfers. There was no significant transferof fair value measurement level of the above financial instruments among the three levels.

The fair value of financial instruments traded in an active market is determined at the quotedmarket price; and the fair value of those not traded in an active market is determined by theGroup using valuation technique. The valuation models used mainly comprise discountedcash flow model and market comparable corporate model. Inputs of valuation techniquemainly comprise risk-free interest rate, estimated interest rate and estimated annual yield.

(a) The fair value of this part of other non-current financial assets is measured using discounted

cash flows approach. The judgement of Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy is based on themateriality of unobservable inputs towards calculation of whole fair value. Significantunobservable inputs mainly include the financial data of targeted company and risk adjusteddiscount rates.

Assets and liabilities subject to Level 2 fair value measurement are mainly structuraldeposits, receivables financing and forward exchange contracts and are evaluated bymarket approach and income approach.
