Key Audit Matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of mostsignificance in our audit of the financial statements for the year. These matters wereaddressed in the context of our audit of the financial statements as a whole, and in formingour opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

Recognition of Sales Revenue from Distributors
Refer to the accounting policies set out in the notes to the financial statements “III. Significant accounting policies and accounting estimates” 25 and “V. Notes to the consolidated financial statements” 38.
The Key Audit Matters	How the Matter was Addressed in Our Audit
The principal activities of Yantai Changyu and its subsidiaries (hereinafter referred to as “Yantai Changyu Group”) include manufacture and sales of wine, brandy and sparkling wine. The revenue of Yantai Changyu Group is mainly derived from sales of distributors. All distributor transaction terms adopt the unified transaction terms formulated by Yantai Changyu Group. Based on the contractual agreement and the business arrangement, Yantai Changyu sells products to distributors and the transfer of product ownership is completed and the revenue is recognised when the goods are delivered to distributors and signed for acceptance. As revenue is one of the key performance indicators of Yantai Changyu Group, there is a risk that management may recognise revenue earlier or later in order to meet specific performance targets or expectations, therefore, the risk of cut-off misstatement arising from distributors’ sales revenue is identified as a key audit matter.	Our audit procedures to evaluate revenue recognition of sales revenue from distributors included the following: ? Understand and evaluate the Management’s design and operation effectiveness of key internal controls related to distributor sales revenue recognition; ? Selecting the sales contracts Yantai Changyu signed with distributors in order to examine whether Yantai Changyu has adopted the unified transaction terms, and evaluate whether the accounting policy of revenue recognition meets the requirements of the Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises; ? On a sampling basis, reconcile the revenue recorded for the year to relevant supporting files such as relevant orders and signed delivery notes, etc. to evaluate whether revenue is recognised in accordance with the accounting policy of Yantai Changyu;

Other Information

Management of Yantai Changyu is responsible for the other information. The otherinformation comprises all the information included in the 2023 annual report, other than thefinancial statements and our auditor’s report thereon.

Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and we do notexpress any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the otherinformation and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistentwith the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears tobe materially misstated.

If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatementof this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in thisregard.

Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the FinancialStatements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financialstatements in accordance with the Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises, and forthe design, implementation and maintenance of such internal control necessary to enablethat the financial statements are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud orerror.

In preparing the financial statements, management is responsible for assessing YantaiChangyu’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related togoing concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management eitherintends to liquidate Yantai Changyu or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative butto do so.

Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing Yantai Changyu’s financialreporting process.

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements asa whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue anauditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level ofassurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with CSAs willalways detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud orerror and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonablybe expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of thesefinancial statements.

AUDITOR’S REPORT (continued)

KPMG Huazhen Shen Zi No. 2405429

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements (continued)

As part of an audit in accordance with CSAs, we exercise professional judgement andmaintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:

(1) Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements,

whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to thoserisks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis forour opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud ishigher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery,intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.

(2) Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit

procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances.

(3) Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of

accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the management.

(4) Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of

accounting and, basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained,whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may castsignificant doubt on Yantai Changyu’s ability to continue as a going concern. If weconclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in ourauditor’s report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if suchdisclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on theaudit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future eventsor conditions may cause Yantai Changyu to cease to continue as a going concern.

(5) Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements,

including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent theunderlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

(6) Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the

entities or business activities within the Group to express our audit opinion on thefinancial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision andperformance of the Group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements (continued)

We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, theplanned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significantdeficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied withrelevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and communicate with them allrelationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independenceand, where applicable, related safeguards.

From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine thosematters that were of most significance in the audit of the financial statements of the year andare therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unlesslaw or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rarecircumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our reportbecause the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweighthe public interest benefits of such communication.

6 Accounting treatments for business combinations involving entities under common control

and not under common control

A transaction constitutes a business combination when the Group obtains control of one ormore entities (or a group of assets or net assets). Business combination is classified aseither business combinations involving enterprises under common control or businesscombinations not involving enterprises under common control.

For a transaction not involving enterprises under common control, the acquirer determineswhether acquired set of assets constitute a business. The Group may elect to apply thesimplified assessment method, the concentration test, to determine whether an acquired setof assets is not a business. If the concentration test is met and the set of assets isdetermined not to be a business, no further assessment is needed. If the concentration testis not met, the Group shall perform the assessment according to the guidance on thedetermination of a business.

When the set of assets the group acquired does not constitute a business, acquisition costsshould be allocated to each identifiable assets and liabilities at their acquisition?date fairvalues. It is not required to apply the accounting of business combination described asbelow.

(1) Business combinations involving entities under common control

A business combination involving entities under common control is a business combination inwhich all of the combining entities are ultimately controlled by the same party or parties bothbefore and after the business combination, and that control is not transitory. The assetsacquired and liabilities assumed are measured based on their carrying amounts in theconsolidated financial statements of the ultimate controlling party at the combination date.The difference between the carrying amount of the net assets acquired and the considerationpaid for the combination (or the total par value of shares issued) is adjusted against sharepremium in the capital reserve, with any excess adjusted against retained earnings. Anycosts directly attributable to the combination are recognised in profit or loss when incurred.The combination date is the date on which one combining entity obtains control of othercombining entities.

(2) Business combinations involving entities not under common control

A business combination involving entities not under common control is a businesscombination in which all of the combining entities are not ultimately controlled by the sameparty or parties both before and after the business combination. Where (1) the aggregate ofthe acquisition-date fair value of assets transferred (including the acquirer’s previously heldequity interest in the acquiree), liabilities incurred or assumed, and equity securities issuedby the acquirer, in exchange for control of the acquiree, exceeds (2) the acquirer’s interest inthe acquisition-date fair value of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets, the difference isrecognised as goodwill (see Note III.19). If (1) is less than (2), the difference is recognised inprofit or loss for the current period. Other acquisition-related costs are expensed whenincurred. The acquiree’s identifiable asset, liabilities and contingent liabilities, if therecognition criteria are met, are recognised by the Group at their acquisition-date fair value.The acquisition date is the date on which the acquirer obtains control of the acquiree.

For a business combination involving entities not under common control and achieved instages, the Group remeasures its previously-held equity interest in the acquiree to itsacquisition-date fair value and recognises any resulting difference between the fair value andthe carrying amount as investment income or other comprehensive income for the currentperiod. In addition, any amount recognised in other comprehensive income that may bereclassified to profit or loss, in prior reporting periods relating to the previously-held equityinterest, and any other changes in the owners’ equity under equity accounting, aretransferred to investment income in the period in which the acquisition occurs (see NoteIII.12(2)(b)). If equity interests of the acquiree held before acquisition-date were equityinstrument investments measured at fair value through other comprehensive income, othercomprehensive income recognised shall be moved to retained earnings on acquisition-date.

7 Criteria of control and preparation of consolidated financial statements

(1) General principles

The scope of consolidated financial statements is based on control and the consolidatedfinancial statements comprise the Company and its subsidiaries. Control exists when theinvestor has all of following: power over the investee; exposure, or rights, to variable returnsfrom its involvement with the investee and has the ability to affect those returns through itspower over the investee. When assessing whether the Group has power, only substantiverights (held by the Group and other parties) are considered. The financial position, financialperformance and cash flows of subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financialstatements from the date that control commences until the date that control ceases.

Non-controlling interests are presented separately in the consolidated balance sheet withinshareholders’ equity. Net profit or loss attributable to non-controlling shareholders ispresented separately in the consolidated income statement below the net profit line item.Total comprehensive income attributable to non-controlling shareholders is presentedseparately in the consolidated income statement below the total comprehensive income lineitem.

When the amount of loss for the current period attributable to the non-controllingshareholders of a subsidiary exceeds the non-controlling shareholders’ share of the openingowners’ equity of the subsidiary, the excess is still allocated against the non-controllinginterests.

When the accounting period or accounting policies of a subsidiary are different from those ofthe Company, the Company makes necessary adjustments to the financial statements of thesubsidiary based on the Company’s own accounting period or accounting policies. Intra-group balances and transactions, and any unrealised profit or loss arising from intra-grouptransactions, are eliminated when preparing the consolidated financial statements.Unrealised losses resulting from intra-group transactions are eliminated in the same way asunrealised gains, unless they represent impairment losses that are recognised in thefinancial statements.

(2) Subsidiaries acquired through a business combination

Where a subsidiary was acquired during the reporting period, through a businesscombination involving entities under common control, the financial statements of thesubsidiary are included in the consolidated financial statements based on the carryingamounts of the assets and liabilities of the subsidiary in the financial statements of theultimate controlling party as if the combination had occurred at the date that the ultimatecontrolling party first obtained control. The opening balances and the comparative figures ofthe consolidated financial statements are also restated.

Where a subsidiary was acquired during the reporting period, through a businesscombination involving entities not under common control, the identifiable assets and liabilitiesof the acquired subsidiaries are included in the scope of consolidation from the date thatcontrol commences, based on the fair value of those identifiable assets and liabilities at theacquisition date.

(3) Disposal of subsidiaries

When the Group loses control over a subsidiary, any resulting disposal gains or losses arerecognised as investment income for the current period. The remaining equity investment isre-measured at its fair value at the date when control is lost, any resulting gains or losses arealso recognised as investment income for the current period.

When the Group loses control of a subsidiary in multiple transactions in which it disposes ofits long-term equity investment in the subsidiary in stages, the following are considered todetermine whether the Group should account for the multiple transactions as a bundledtransaction:

- arrangements are entered into at the same time or in contemplation of each other;- arrangements work together to achieve an overall commercial effect;- the occurrence of one arrangement is dependent on the occurrence of at least one otherarrangement;- one arrangement considered on its own is not economically justified, but it is economicallyjustified when considered together with other arrangements.

If each of the multiple transactions does not form part of a bundled transaction, thetransactions conducted before the loss of control of the subsidiary are accounted for inaccordance with the accounting policy for partial disposal of equity investment in subsidiarieswhere control is retained (see Note III.7(4)).

If each of the multiple transactions forms part of a bundled transaction which eventuallyresults in the loss of control in the subsidiary, these multiple transactions are accounted foras a single transaction. In the consolidated financial statements, the difference between theconsideration received and the corresponding proportion of the subsidiary’s net assets(calculated continuously from the acquisition date) in each transaction prior to the loss ofcontrol shall be recognised in other comprehensive income and transferred to profit or losswhen the parent eventually loses control of the subsidiary.

(4) Changes in non-controlling interests

Where the Company acquires a non-controlling interest from a subsidiary’s non-controllingshareholders or disposes of a portion of an interest in a subsidiary without a change incontrol, the difference between the proportion interests of the subsidiary’s net assets beingacquired or disposed and the amount of the consideration paid or received is adjusted to thecapital reserve (share premium) in the consolidated balance sheet, with any excess adjustedto retained earnings.

8 Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand, deposits that can be readily withdraw ondemand, and short-term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible into knownamounts of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value.

9 Foreign currency transactions and translation of foreign currency financial statements

When the Group receives capital in foreign currencies from investors, the capital is translatedto Renminbi at the spot exchange rate at the date of the receipt. Other foreign currencytransactions are, on initial recognition, translated to Renminbi at the spot exchange rates.

Monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are translated to Renminbi at the spotexchange rate at the balance sheet date. The resulting exchange differences are generallyrecognised in profit or loss, unless they arise from the re-translation of the principal andinterest of specific borrowings for the acquisition and construction of qualifying assets (seeNote III. 16). Non-monetary items that are measured at historical cost in foreign currenciesare translated to Renminbi using the exchange rate at the transaction date.

In translating the financial statements of a foreign operation, assets and liabilities of foreignoperation are translated to Renminbi at the spot exchange rate at the balance sheet date.Equity items, excluding retained earnings and the translation differences in othercomprehensive income, are translated to Renminbi at the spot exchange rates at thetransaction dates. Income and expenses in the income statement are translated to Renminbiat the spot exchange rates at the transaction dates. The resulting translation differences arerecognised in other comprehensive income. The translation differences accumulated in othercomprehensive income with respect to a foreign operation are transferred to profit or loss inthe period when the foreign operation is disposed.

10 Financial instruments

Financial instruments include cash at bank and on hand, investments in debt and equitysecurities other than those classified as long-term equity investments (see Note III.12),receivables, payables, loans and borrowings and share capital.

(1) Recognition and initial measurement of financial assets and financial liabilities

A financial asset or financial liability is recognised in the balance sheet when the Groupbecomes a party to the contractual provisions of a financial instrument.

A financial assets (unless it is a trade receivable without a significant financing component)and financial liabilities is measured initially at fair value. For financial assets and financialliabilities at fair value through profit or loss, any related directly attributable transaction costsare charged to profit or loss; for other categories of financial assets and financial liabilities,any related directly attributable transaction costs are included in their initial costs. A tradereceivable, without significant financing component or practical expedient applied for oneyear or less contracts, is initially measured at the transaction price in accordance with NoteIII.25.

(2) Classification and subsequent measurement of financial assets

(a) Classification of financial assets

The classification of financial assets is generally based on the business model in whicha financial asset is managed and its contractual cash flow characteristics. On initialrecognition, a financial asset is classified as measured at amortised cost, at fair valuethrough other comprehensive income (“FVOCI”), or at fair value through profit or loss(“FVTPL”).

Financial assets are not reclassified subsequent to their initial recognition unless theGroup changes its business model for managing financial assets in which case allaffected financial assets are reclassified on the first day of the first reporting periodfollowing the change in the business model.

A financial asset is measured at amortised cost if it meets both of the followingconditions and is not designated as at FVTPL:

- it is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets to collectcontractual cash flows; and- its contractual terms give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solelypayments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.

A debt investment is measured at FVOCI if it meets both of the following conditions andis not designated as at FVTPL:

- it is held within a business model whose objective is achieved by both collectingcontractual cash flows and selling financial assets; and- its contractual terms give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solelypayments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.

On initial recognition of an equity investment that is not held for trading, the Group mayirrevocably elect to present subsequent changes in the investment’s fair value in othercomprehensive income. This election is made on an investment-by-investment basis.The instrument meets the definition of equity from the perspective of the issuer.

All financial assets not classified as measured at amortised cost or FVOCI asdescribed above are measured at FVTPL. On initial recognition, the Group mayirrevocably designate a financial asset that otherwise meets the requirements to bemeasured at amortised cost or at FVOCI as at FVTPL if doing so eliminates orsignificantly reduces an accounting mismatch that would otherwise arise.

The business model refers to how the Group manages its financial assets in order togenerate cash flows. That is, the Group’s business model determines whether cashflows will result from collecting contractual cash flows, selling financial assets or both.The Group determines the business model for managing the financial assets accordingto the facts and based on the specific business objective for managing the financialassets determined by the Group’s key management personnel.

In assessing whether the contractual cash flows are solely payments of principal andinterest, the Group considers the contractual terms of the instrument. For the purposesof this assessment, ‘principal’ is defined as the fair value of the financial asset on initialrecognition. ‘Interest’ is defined as consideration for the time value of money and forthe credit risk associated with the principal amount outstanding during a particularperiod of time and for other basic lending risks and costs, as well as a profit margin.The Group also assesses whether the financial asset contains a contractual term thatcould change the timing or amount of contractual cash flows such that it would notmeet this condition.

(b) Subsequent measurement of financial assets

- Financial assets at FVTPL

These financial assets are subsequently measured at fair value. Net gains andlosses, including any interest or dividend income, are recognised in profit or lossunless the financial assets are part of a hedging relationship.

- Financial assets at amortised cost

These assets are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effectiveinterest method. A gain or loss on a financial asset that is measured at amortisedcost and is not part of a hedging relationship shall be recognised in profit or losswhen the financial asset is derecognised, reclassified, through the amortisationprocess or in order to recognise impairment gains or losses.

- Debt investments at FVOCI

These assets are subsequently measured at fair value. Interest income calculatedusing the effective interest method, impairment and foreign exchange gains andlosses are recognised in profit or loss. Other net gains and losses are recognised inother comprehensive income. On derecognition, gains and losses accumulated inother comprehensive income are reclassified to profit or loss.

- Equity investments at FVOCI

These assets are subsequently measured at fair value. Dividends are recognisedas income in profit or loss. Other net gains and losses are recognised in othercomprehensive income. On derecognition, gains and losses accumulated in othercomprehensive income are reclassified to retained earnings.

(3) Classification and subsequent measurement of financial liabilities

Financial liabilities are classified as measured at FVTPL or amortised cost by the Group.

- Financial liabilities at FVTPL

A financial liability is classified as at FVTPL if it is classified as held-for-trading (includingderivative financial liability) or it is designated as such on initial recognition.

Financial liabilities at FVTPL are subsequently measured at fair value and net gains andlosses, including any interest expense, are recognised in profit or loss, unless the financialliabilities are part of a hedging relationship.

- Financial liabilities at amortised cost

These financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effectiveinterest method.

(4) Offsetting

Financial assets and financial liabilities are generally presented separately in the balancesheet, and are not offset. However, a financial asset and a financial liability are offset andthe net amount is presented in the balance sheet when both of the following conditions aresatisfied:

- The Group currently has a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts;- The Group intends either to settle on a net basis, or to realise the financial asset and

settle the financial liability simultaneously.

(5) Derecognition of financial assets and financial liabilities

Financial asset is derecognised when one of the following conditions is met:

- the Group’s contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire;- the financial asset has been transferred and the Group transfers substantially all of the

risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset; or;- the financial asset has been transferred, although the Group neither transfers nor retains

substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset, it does not

retain control over the transferred asset.

Where a transfer of a financial asset in its entirety meets the criteria for derecognition, thedifference between the two amounts below is recognised in profit or loss:

- the carrying amount of the financial asset transferred measured at the date of

derecognition;- the sum of the consideration received from the transfer and, when the transferred financial

asset is a debt investment at FVOCI, any cumulative gain or loss that has been

recognised directly in other comprehensive income for the part derecognised.

The Group derecognises a financial liability (or part of it) only when its contractual obligation(or part of it) is extinguished.

(6) Impairment

The Group recognises loss allowances for expected credit loss (ECL) on:

- financial assets measured at amortised cost;- financial investments at fair value through other comprehensive income

Financial assets measured at fair value, including debt investments or equity securities atFVPL, equity securities designated at FVOCI and derivative financial assets, are not subjectto the ECL assessment.

Measurement of ECLs

ECLs are a probability-weighted estimate of credit losses. Credit losses are measured asthe present value of all cash shortfalls (i.e. the difference between the cash flows due to theentity in accordance with the contract and the cash flows that the Group expects to receive).

The maximum period considered when estimating ECLs is the maximum contractual period(including extension options) over which the Group is exposed to credit risk.

Lifetime ECLs are the ECLs that result from all possible default events over the expected lifeof a financial instrument.

12-month ECLs are the portion of ECLs that result from default events that are possiblewithin the 12 months after the balance sheet date (or a shorter period if the expected life ofthe instrument is less than 12 months).

Loss allowances for bills receivable, accounts receivable and receivables under financingarising from oridinary business activities such as sale of goods and provision of services ,arealways measured at an amount equal to lifetime ECLs. ECLs on these financial assets areestimated using a provision matrix based on the Group’s historical credit loss experience,adjusted for factors that are specific to the debtors and an assessment of both the currentand forecast general economic conditions at the balance sheet date.

Except for bills receivable, accounts receivable, receivables under financing, the Groupmeasures loss allowances at an amount equal to 12-month ECLs for the following financialinstruments, and at an amount equal to lifetime ECLs for all other financial instruments:

- If the financial instrument is determined to have low credit risk at the balance sheet date;- If the credit risk on a financial instrument has not increased significantly since initial

recognition.

Provisions for bad and doubtful debts arising from receivables

(a) Categories of groups for collective assessment based on credit risk characteristics and

basis for determination

Bills receivable	Based on the different credit risk characteristics of acceptors, the Group classifies bills receivable into two groups: bank acceptance bills and commercial acceptance bills.
Accounts receivable	Historically, there is no significant difference in terms of occurrence of losses among different customer types for the Group. Therefore, the Group makes provisions for bad and doubtful debts arising from accounts receivable on the basis of all customers being one group without further segmentation by different customer types.
Receivables under financing	The Group’s receivables under financing are bank acceptance bills held for dual purposes. As the accepting banks have high credit ratings, the Group considers all receivables under financing as a group.
Other receivables	The Group’s other receivables mainly include deposits and guarantees receivable,ect. Based on the nature of receivables and the credit risk characteristics of different counterparties, the Group classifies other receivables into 2 groups, specifically: the group of deposits and guarantees receivable and the group of other receivables.

(b) Criteria for individual assessment

Bills receivable, accounts receivable , receivables under financing, and otherreceivables are usually assessed collectively as a group based on credit riskcharacteristics to make provisions. When a counterparty is significantly different fromother counterparties in the group in terms of credit risk characteristics, or if there hasbeen a significant change in its credit risk characteristics, the individual approach isadopted for receivables due from this counterparty. For example, when a counterpartyis in serious financial difficulties and the expected credit loss ratio of receivables duefrom this counterparty is significantly higher than the average expected credit loss ratioof the relevant ageing range, it should be individualy assessed for provisioningpurposes.

Financial instruments that have low credit risk

The credit risk on a financial instrument is considered low if the financial instrument has a lowrisk of default, the borrower has a strong capacity to meet its contractual cash flowobligations in the near term and adverse changes in economic and business conditions in thelonger term may, but will not necessarily, reduce the ability of the borrower to fulfil itscontractual cash flow obligations.

Significant increases in credit risk

In assessing whether the credit risk of a financial instrument has increased significantly sinceinitial recognition, the Group compares the risk of default occurring on the financialinstrument assessed at the balance sheet date with that assessed at the date of initialrecognition.

When determining whether the credit risk of a financial asset has increased significantlysince initial recognition and when estimating ECL, the Group considers reasonable andsupportable information that is relevant and available without undue cost or effort, includingforward-looking information. In particular, the following information is taken into account:

- failure to make payments of principal and interest on their contractually due dates;- an actual or expected significant deterioration in a financial instrument’s external or

internal credit rating (if available);- an actual or expected significant deterioration in the operating results of the debtor; and- existing or forecast changes in the technological, market, economic or legal environment

that have a significant adverse effect on the debtor’s ability to meet its obligation to the

Group.

Depending on the nature of the financial instruments, the assessment of a significantincrease in credit risk is performed on either an individual basis or a collective basis. Whenthe assessment is performed on a collective basis, the financial instruments are groupedbased on shared credit risk characteristics, such as past due status and credit risk ratings.

The Group assumes that the credit risk on a financial asset has increased significantly if it ismore than 30 days past due.

Credit-impaired financial assets

At each balance sheet date, the Group assesses whether financial assets carried atamortised cost and debt investments at FVOCI are credit-impaired. A financial asset is‘credit-impaired’ when one or more events that have a detrimental impact on the estimatedfuture cash flows of the financial asset have occurred. Evidence that a financial asset iscredit-impaired includes the following observable data:

- significant financial difficulty of the borrower or issuer;- a breach of contract, such as a default or delinquency in interest or principal payments;- for economic or contractual reasons relating to the borrower’s financial difficulty, theGroup having granted to the borrower a concession that would not otherwise consider;- it is probable that the borrower will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganisation; or- the disappearance of an active market for that financial asset because of financialdifficulties.

Presentation of allowance for ECL

ECLs are remeasured at each balance sheet date to reflect changes in the financialinstrument’s credit risk since initial recognition. Any change in the ECL amount is recognisedas an impairment gain or loss in profit or loss. The Group recognises an impairment gain orloss for all financial instruments with a corresponding adjustment to their carrying amountthrough a loss allowance account, except for debt investments that are measured at FVOCI,for which the loss allowance is recognised in other comprehensive income.

Write-off

The gross carrying amount of a financial asset is written off (either partially or in full) to theextent that there is no realistic prospect of recovery. A write-off constitutes a derecognitionevent. This is generally the case when the Group determines that the debtor does not haveassets or sources of income that could generate sufficient cash flows to repay the amountssubject to the write-off. However, financial assets that are written off could still be subject toenforcement activities in order to comply with the Group’s procedures for recovery ofamounts due.

Subsequent recoveries of an asset that was previously written off are recognised as areversal of impairment in profit or loss in the period in which the recovery occurs.

(7) Equity instrument

The consideration received from the issuance of equity instruments net of transaction costsis recognised in shareholders’ equity. Consideration and transaction costs paid by theCompany for repurchasing self-issued equity instruments are deducted from shareholders’equity.

When the Company repurchases its own shares, those shares are treated as treasuryshares. All expenditure relating to the repurchase is recorded in the cost of the treasuryshares, with the transaction recording in the share register. Treasury shares are excludedfrom profit distributions and are presented as a deduction under shareholders’ equity in thebalance sheet.

11 Inventories

(1) Categories

Inventories include raw materials, work in progress and finished goods. Inventories areinitially measured at cost. Cost of inventories comprises all costs of purchase, costs ofconversion and other expenditure incurred in bringing the inventories to their present locationand condition. In addition to the purchase cost of raw materials, work in progress andfinished goods include direct labour costs and an appropriate allocation of productionoverheads.

Agricultural products harvested are reported in accordance with the CAS No.1 - Inventories.

(2) Measurement method of cost of inventories

Cost of inventories is calculated using the weighted average method.

(3) Inventory count system

The Group maintains a perpetual inventory system.

(4) Amortisation method for low-value consumables and packaging materials

Consumables including low-value consumables and packaging materials are charged toprofit or loss upon receipt. The amortisation charge is included in the cost of the relatedassets or recognised in profit or loss for the current period.

(5) Criteria and method for provision for obsolete inventories

At the balance sheet date, inventories are carried at the lower of cost and net realisablevalue.

Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less theestimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale andrelevant taxes. The net realisable value of materials held for use in production is measuredbased on the net realisable value of the finished goods in which they will be incorporated.The net realisable value of inventory held to satisfy sales or service contracts is measuredbased on the contract price. If the quantities of inventories held by the Group exceed thequantities specified in sales contracts, the net realisable value of the excess portion ofinventories is based on general selling prices.

Any excess of the cost over the net realisable value of each item

of inventories is recognisedas a provision for obsolete inventories, and is recognised in profit or loss.

12 Long-term equity investments

(1) Investment cost of long-term equity investments

(a) Long-term equity investments acquired through a business combination

- The initial cost of a long-term equity investment acquired through a businesscombination involving entities under common control is the Company’s share of thecarrying amount of the subsidiary’s equity in the consolidated financial statements ofthe ultimate controlling party at the combination date. The difference between theinitial investment cost and the carrying amount of the consideration given is adjustedto the share premium in the capital reserve, with any excess adjusted to retainedearnings. For a long-term equity investment in a subsidiary acquired through abusiness combination achieved in stages which do not form a bundled transactionand involving entities under common control, the Company determines the initialcost of the investment in accordance with the above policies. The differencebetween this initial cost and the sum of the carrying amount of previously-heldinvestment and the consideration paid for the shares newly acquired is adjusted tocapital premium in the capital reserve, with any excess adjusted to retainedearnings.

- For a long-term equity investment obtained through a business combination notinvolving enterprises under common control, the initial cost comprises the aggregateof the fair value of assets transferred, liabilities incurred or assumed, and equitysecurities issued by the Company, in exchange for control of the acquiree. For along-term equity investment obtained through a business combination not involvingentities under common control and achieved through multiple transactions in stageswhich do not form a bundled transaction, the initial cost comprises the carryingamount of the previously-held equity investment in the acquiree immediately beforethe acquisition date, and the additional investment cost at the acquisition date.

(b) Long-term equity investments acquired other than through a business combination

- A long-term equity investment acquired other than through a business combinationis initially recognised at the amount of cash paid if the Group acquires theinvestment by cash, or at the fair value of the equity securities issued if aninvestment is acquired by issuing equity securities.

(2) Subsequent measurement of long-term equity investment

(a) Investments in subsidiaries

In the Company’s separate financial statements, long-term equity investments insubsidiaries are accounted for using the cost method unless the investment isclassified as held for sale (See Note III. 31). Except for cash dividends or profitdistributions declared but not yet distributed that have been included in the price orconsideration paid in obtaining the investments, the Company recognises its share ofthe cash dividends or profit distributions declared by the investee as investment incomefor the current period.

The investments in subsidiaries are stated in the balance sheet at cost lessaccumulated impairment losses.

For the impairment of the investments in subsidiaries, refer to Note III.21.

In the Group’s consolidated financial statements, subsidiaries are accounted for inaccordance with the policies described in Note III.7.

(b) Investment in joint ventures and associates

A joint venture is an arrangement whereby the Group and other parties have jointcontrol (see Note III.12(3)) and rights to the net assets of the arrangement.

Associated enterprises refer to enterprises to which the Group can exercise significantinfluence (see Note III.12(3)).

A long-term equity investment in a joint venture or an associate is accounted for usingthe equity method for subsequent measurement, unless the investment is classified asheld for sale (see Note III.31).

The accounting treatments under the equity method adopted by the Group are asfollows:

- Where the initial cost of a long-term equity investment exceeds the Group’s interestin the fair value of the investee’s identifiable net assets at the date of acquisition, theinvestment is initially recognised at cost. Where the initial investment cost is lessthan the Group’s interest in the fair value of the investee’s identifiable net assets atthe date of acquisition, the investment is initially recognised at the investor’s shareof the fair value of the investee’s identifiable net assets, and the difference isrecognised in profit or loss.

- After the acquisition of the investment, the Group recognises its share of theinvestee’s profit or loss and other comprehensive income as investment income orlosses and other comprehensive income respectively, and adjusts the carryingamount of the investment accordingly. Once the investee declares any cashdividends or profit distributions, the carrying amount of the investment is reduced bythe amount attributable to the Group. Changes in the Group’s share of theinvestee’s owners’ equity, other than those arising from the investee’s net profit orloss, other comprehensive income or profit distribution (referred to as “otherchanges in owners’ equity”), is recognised directly in the Group’s equity, and thecarrying amount of the investment is adjusted accordingly.

- In calculating its share of the investee’s net profits or losses, other comprehensiveincome and other changes in owners’ equity, the Group recognises investmentincome and other comprehensive income after making appropriate adjustments toalign the accounting policies or accounting periods with those of the Group based onthe fair value of the investee’s identifiable net assets at the date of acquisition.Unrealised profits and losses resulting from transactions between the Group and itsassociates or joint ventures are eliminated to the extent of the Group’s interest in theassociates or joint ventures. Unrealised losses resulting from transactions betweenthe Group and its associates or joint ventures are eliminated in the same way asunrealised gains but only to the extent that there is no impairment.

- The Group discontinues recognising its share of further losses of the investee afterthe carrying amount of the long-term equity investment and any long-term interestthat in substance forms part of the Group’s net investment in the associate isreduced to zero, except to the extent that the Group has an obligation to assumeadditional losses. If the joint venture or the associate subsequently reports netprofits, the Group resumes recognising its share of those profits only after its shareof the profits equals the share of losses not recognised.

For the impairment of the investments in joint ventures and associates, refer to NoteIII.21.

(3) Criteria for determining the existence of joint control over an investee

Joint control is the contractually agreed sharing of control of an arrangement, which existsonly when decisions about the relevant activities (activities with significant impact on thereturns of the arrangement) require the unanimous consent of the parties sharing control.

The following factors are usually considered when assessing whether the Group canexercise joint control over an investee:

- Whether no single participant party is in a position to control the investee’s relatedactivities unilaterally;- Whether strategic decisions relating to the investee’s related activities require theunanimous consent of all participant parties that sharing of control.

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

13 Investment properties

Investment properties are properties held either to earn rental income or for capitalappreciation or for both. Investment properties are accounted for using the cost model andstated in the balance sheet at cost less accumulated depreciation, amortisation andimpairment losses, and adopts a depreciation or amortisation policy for the investmentproperty which is consistent with that for buildings or land use rights, unless the investmentproperty is classified as held for sale (see Note III.31). For the impairment of the investmentproperties, refer to Note III.21.

Category	Estimated useful life (years)	Residual value rate (%)	Depreciation rate (%)
Plant and buildings	20 - 40 years	0 - 5%	2.4% - 5.0%

14 Fixed assets

(1) Recognition of fixed assets

Fixed assets represent the tangible assets held by the Group for use in production of goods,supply of services, for rental or for administrative purposes with useful lives over oneaccounting year.

The cost of a purchased fixed asset comprises the purchase price, related taxes, and anydirectly attributable expenditure for bringing the asset to working condition for its intendeduse. The cost of self-constructed assets is measured in accordance with the policy set out inNote III.15.

Where the parts of an item of fixed assets have different useful lives or provide benefits tothe Group in a different pattern, thus necessitating use of different depreciation rates ormethods, each part is recognised as a separate fixed asset.

Any subsequent costs including the cost of replacing part of an item of fixed assets arerecognised as assets when it is probable that the economic benefits associated with thecosts will flow to the Group, and the carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognised.The costs of the day-to-day maintenance of fixed assets are recognised in profit or loss asincurred.

Fixed assets are stated in the balance sheet at cost less accumulated depreciation andimpairment losses.

(2) Depreciation of fixed assets

The cost of a fixed asset, less its estimated residual value and accumulated impairmentlosses, is depreciated using the straight-line method over its estimated useful life, unless thefixed asset is classified as held for sale (see Note III.31).

The estimated useful lives, residual value rates and depreciation rates of each class of fixedassets are as follows:

Class	Estimated useful life (years)	Residual value rate (%)	Depreciation rate (%)
Plant and buildings	20 - 40 years	0 - 5%	2.4% - 5.0%
Machinery equipment	5 - 30 years	0 - 5%	3.2% - 20.0%
Motor vehicles	4 - 12 years	0 - 5%	7.9% - 25.0%

Useful lives, estimated residual values and depreciation methods are reviewed at least ateach year-end.

(3) For the impairment of the fixed assets, refer to Note III.21.

(4) Disposal of fixed assets

The carrying amount of a fixed asset is derecognised:

- when the fixed asset is holding for disposal; or- when no future economic benefit is expected to be generated from its use or disposal.

Gains or losses arising from the retirement or disposal of an item of fixed asset aredetermined as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount ofthe item, and are recognised in profit or loss on the date of retirement or disposal.

15 Construction in progress

The cost of self-constructed assets includes the cost of materials, direct labour, capitalisedborrowing costs (see Note III.16), and any other costs directly attributable to bringing theasset to working condition for its intended use.

A self-constructed asset is classified as construction in progress and transferred to fixedasset when it is ready for its intended use. No depreciation is provided against constructionin progress.

Criteria and timing for the transfer to fixed assets：

Category	Criteria and timing for the transfer to fixed assets
Plant and buildings	(1) The main construction projects and ancillary projects have been substantially completed; (2) the construction projects have been checked and accepted by the survey, design, construction and supervision units after meeting the pre-determined design requirements; (3) the construction projects have been checked and accepted by external departments such as the fire department, the land and resources department and the planning department; (4) if a construction project is available for its intended use but its final account has not yet been finalised, the construction project will be transferred to fixed assets at its estimated value from the date it is available for its intended use, based on the its estimated value of construction.
Machinery and equipment	(1) The relevant equipment and other supporting facilities have been installed; (2) the equipment can operate normally and stably for a period after commissioning; (3) the production equipment is capable of producing qualified products stably for a period; (4) the equipment has been checked and accepted by asset management personnel and users.

Construction in progress is stated in the balance sheet at cost less accumulated impairmentlosses (see Note III.21).

When an enterprise sells products or by-products produced before a fixed asset is availablefor its intended use, the proceeds and related cost are accounted for in accordance with CAS14 – Revenue and CAS 1 – Inventories respectively, and recognised in profit or loss for thecurrent period.

16 Borrowing costs

Borrowing costs incurred directly attributable to the acquisition, and construction orproduction of a qualifying asset are capitalised as part of the cost of the asset. Otherborrowing costs are recognised as financial expenses when incurred.

During the capitalisation period, the amount of interest (including amortisation of anydiscount or premium on borrowing) to be capitalised in each accounting period is determinedas follows:

- Where funds are borrowed specifically for the acquisition and construction or production of

a qualifying asset, the amount of interest to be capitalised is the interest expensecalculated using effective interest rates during the period less any interest income earnedfrom depositing the borrowed funds or any investment income on the temporaryinvestment of those funds before being used on the asset.

- To the extent that the Group borrows funds generally and uses them for the acquisitionand construction or production of a qualifying asset, the amount of borrowing costs eligiblefor capitalisation is determined by applying a capitalisation rate to the weighted average ofthe excess amounts of cumulative expenditure on the asset over the above amounts ofspecific borrowings. The capitalisation rate is the weighted average of the interest ratesapplicable to the general-purpose borrowings.

The effective interest rate is determined as the rate that exactly discounts estimated futurecash flow through the expected life of the borrowing or, when appropriate, a shorter period tothe initially recognised amount of the borrowings.

During the capitalisation period, exchange differences related to the principal and interest ona specific-purpose borrowing denominated in foreign currency are capitalised as part of thecost of the qualifying asset. The exchange differences related to the principal and interest onforeign currency borrowings other than a specific-purpose borrowing are recognised as afinancial expense when incurred.

The capitalisation period is the period from the date of commencement of capitalisation ofborrowing costs to the date of cessation of capitalisation, excluding any period over whichcapitalisation is suspended. Capitalisation of borrowing costs commences when expenditurefor the asset is being incurred, borrowing costs are being incurred and activities ofacquisition, construction or production that are necessary to prepare the asset for itsintended use are in progress, and ceases when the assets become ready for their intendeduse. Capitalisation of borrowing costs should cease when the qualifying asset beingconstructed or produced has reached its expected usable or saleable condition.Capitalisation of borrowing costs is suspended when the acquisition, construction orproduction activities are interrupted abnormally for a period of more than three months.

17 Biological assets

The Group’s biological assets are bearer biological assets.

Bearer biological assets are those that are held for the purposes of producing agriculturalproduce, rendering of services or rental. Bearer biological assets in the Group are vines.Bearer biological assets are initially measured at cost. The cost of self-grown or self-bredbearer biological assets represents the necessary directly attributable expenditure incurredbefore satisfying the expected production and operating purpose, including capitalisedborrowing costs.

Bearer biological assets, after reaching the expected production and operating purpose, aredepreciated using the straight-line method over its estimated useful life. The estimateduseful lives, estimated net residual value rates and depreciation rates of bearer biologicalassets are as follows:

Category	Estimated useful life (years)	Estimated net residual value rate	Depreciation rate (%)
Vines	20 years	0%	5.0%

The Group evaluates the useful life and expected net salvage value by considering thenormal producing life of the bearer biological assets.

Useful lives, estimated residual values and depreciation methods of bearer biological assetsare reviewed at least at each year-end. Any changes should be treated as changes inaccounting estimates.

For a bearer biological asset that has been sold, damaged, dead or destroyed, anydifference between the disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset should berecognised in profit or loss for the period in which it arises.

18 Intangible assets

Useful life and amortisation methods

Intangible assets are stated in the balance sheet at cost less accumulated amortization(where the estimated useful life is finite) and impairment losses (see Note III.21). For anintangible asset with finite useful life, its cost estimated less residual value and accumulatedimpairment losses is amortised on the straight-line method over its estimated useful life,unless the intangible asset is classified as held for sale.

The estimated useful lives, basis for determination and amortisation methods of intangibleassets are as follows:

Item	Amortisation period (years)	Basis for determination	Amortisation methods
Land use rights	40 - 50 years	Terms of land use rights	Stright-line Method
Software licenses	5 - 10 years	Shorter of the term of software or the estimated useful life of software	Stright-line Method
Trademarks	10 years	Shorter of the term of trademark rights or the estimated useful life of trademark rights	Stright-line Method

Useful lives and amortisation methods of intangible asset with finite useful life are reviewedat least at each year-end.

An intangible asset is regarded as having an indefinite useful life and is not amortised whenthere is no foreseeable limit to the period over which the asset is expected to generateeconomic benefits for the Group. At the balance sheet date, the Group had intangible assetswith infinite useful lives including the land use rights and trademarks. Land use rights withinfinite useful lives are permanent land use rights with permanent ownership held by theGroup under the relevant Chile and Australian laws arising from the Group’s acquisition ofVi?a Indómita, S.A., Vi?a Dos Andes, S.A., and Bodegas Santa Alicia SPA. (collectivelyreferred to as the “Chile Indomita Wine Group”), and the acquisition of Kilikanoon Estate PtyLtd. (the “Australia Kilikanoon Estate”), therefore there was no amortisation. The right to usetrademark refers to the trademark held by the Group arising from the acquisition of the ChileIndomita Wine Group and the Australia Kilikanoon Estate with infinite useful lives. Thevaluation of trademark was based on the trends in the market and competitive environment,product cycle, and managing long-term development strategy. Those basis indicated thetrademark will provide net cash flows to the Group within an uncertain period. The useful lifeis indefinite as it was hard to predict the period that the trademark would bring economicbenefits to the Group.

19 Goodwill

The initial cost of goodwill represents the excess of cost of acquisition over the acquirer’sinterest in the fair value of the identifiable net assets of the acquiree under a businesscombination not involving entities under common control.

Goodwill is not amortised and is stated in the balance sheet at cost less accumulatedimpairment losses (see Note III.21). On disposal of an asset group or a set of asset groups,any attributable goodwill is written off and included in the calculation of the profit or loss ondisposal.

20 Long-term deferred expenses

Long-term deferred expenses are amortised using a straight-line method within the benefitperiod. The respective amortisation periods for such expenses are as follows:

Item	Amortisation period
Land requisition fee	50 years
Greening fee	5 - 20 years
Renovation Fee	3 - 20 years
Others	3 years

21 Impairment of assets other than inventories and financial assets

The carrying amounts of the following assets are reviewed at each balance sheet date basedon internal and external sources of information to determine whether there is any indicationof impairment:

- fixed assets- construction in progress- right-of-use assets- intangible assets- bearer biological assets- investment properties measured using a cost model- long-term equity investments- goodwill- long-term deferred expenses, etc.

If any indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated. In addition, theGroup estimates the recoverable amounts of goodwill and intangible assets with infiniteuseful lives at each year-end, irrespective of whether there is any indication of impairment.Goodwill is allocated to each asset group, or set of asset groups, that is expected to benefitfrom the synergies of the combination for the purpose of impairment testing.

The recoverable amount of an asset (or asset group, set of asset groups) is the higher of itsfair value (see Note III.22) less costs to sell and its present value of expected future cashflows.

An asset group is composed of assets directly related to cash-generation and is the smallestidentifiable group of assets that generates cash inflows that are largely independent of thecash inflows from other assets or asset groups.

The present value of expected future cash flows of an asset is determined by discounting thefuture cash flows, estimated to be derived from continuing use of the asset and from itsultimate disposal, to their present value using an appropriate pre-tax discount rate.

An impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss when the recoverable amount of an asset isless than its carrying amount. A provision for impairment of the asset is recognisedaccordingly. Impairment losses related to an asset group or a set of asset groups are allocatedfirst to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the asset group or set of assetgroups, and then to reduce the carrying amount of the other assets in the asset group or setof asset groups on a pro rata basis. However, such allocation would not reduce the carryingamount of an asset below the highest of its fair value less costs to sell (if measurable), itspresent value of expected future cash flows (if determinable) and zero.

Once an impairment loss is recognised, it is not reversed in a subsequent period.

22 Fair value measurement

Unless otherwise specified, the Group measures fair value as follows:

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability inan orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.

When measuring fair value, the Group takes into account the characteristics of the particularasset or liability (including the condition and location of the asset and restrictions, if any, onthe sale or use of the asset) that market participants would consider when pricing the assetor liability at the measurement date, and uses valuation techniques that are appropriate inthe circumstances and for which sufficient data and other information are available tomeasure fair value. Valuation techniques mainly include the market approach, the incomeapproach and the cost approach.

23 Provisions

A provision is recognised for an obligation related to a contingency if the Group has apresent obligation that can be estimated reliably, and it is probable that an outflow ofeconomic benefits will be required to settle the obligation.

A provision is initially measured at the best estimate of the expenditure required to settle therelated present obligation. Where the effect of the time value of money is material, provisionsare determined by discounting the expected future cash flows. Factors pertaining to acontingency such as the risks, uncertainties and time value of money are taken into accountas a whole in reaching the best estimate.

Where there is a continuous range of possibleoutcomes for the expenditure required, and each possible outcome in that range is as likelyas any other, the best estimate is the mid-point of that range. In other cases, the bestestimate is determined as follows:

- Where the contingency involves a single item, the best estimate is the most likelyoutcome.- Where the contingency involves a large population of items, the best estimate is

determined by weighting all possible outcomes by their associated probabilities.

The Group reviews the carrying amounts of provisions at the balance sheet date and adjuststheir carrying amounts to the current best estimates.

24 Share-based payments

(1) Classification of share-based payments

Share-based payment transactions in the Group are equity-settled share-based payments..

(2) Accounting treatment of share-based payments

- Equity-settled share-based payments

Where the Group uses shares or other equity instruments as consideration for servicesreceived from employees, the payment is measured at the fair value of the equityinstruments granted to employees at the grant date. If the equity instruments granted toemployees vest immediately, the fair value of the equity instruments granted is fullyrecognised as costs or expenses on the grant date, with a corresponding increase incapital reserve. If the equity instruments granted do not vest until the completion ofservices for a period, or until the achievement of a specified performance condition, theGroup recognises an amount at each balance sheet date during the vesting period basedon the best estimate of the number of equity instruments expected to vest according tonewly obtained subsequent information regarding changes in the number of employeesexpected to vest the equity instruments. The Group measures the services received at thegrant-date fair value of the equity instruments and recognises the costs or expenses asthe services are received, with a corresponding increase in capital reserve.

When the Group receives services but has no obligation to settle the transaction becausethe relevant equity instruments are issued by the Company’s ultimate parent or itssubsidiaries outside the Group, the Group also classifies the transaction as equity-settled.

25 Revenue recognition

Revenue is the gross inflow of economic benefits arising in the course of the Group’sordinary activities when the inflows result in increase in shareholders’ equity, other thanincrease relating to contributions from shareholders.

Revenue is recognised when the Group satisfies the performance obligation in the contractby transferring the control over relevant goods or services to the customers.

Where a contract has two or more performance obligations, the Group determines the stand-alone selling price at contract inception of the distinct good or service underlying eachperformance obligation in the contract and allocates the transaction price in proportion tothose stand-alone selling prices. The Group recognises as revenue the amount of thetransaction price that is allocated to each performance obligation. The stand-alone sellingprice is the price at which the Group would sell a promised good or service separately to acustomer. If a stand-alone selling price is not directly observable, the Group considers allinformation that is reasonably available to the entity, maximises the use of observable inputsto estimate the stand-alone selling price.

For the contract with a warranty, the Group analyses the nature of the warranty provided, ifthe warranty provides the customer with a distinct service in addition to the assurance thatthe product complies with agreed-upon specifications, the Group recognises for the promisedwarranty as a performance obligation. Otherwise, the Group accounts for the warranty inaccordance with the requirements of CAS No.13 – Contingencies.

The transaction price is the amount of consideration to which the Group expects to beentitled in exchange for transferring promised goods or services to a customer, excludingamounts collected on behalf of third parties. The Group recognises the transaction price onlyto the extent that it is highly probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulativerevenue recognised will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variableconsideration is subsequently resolved. Where the contract contains a significant financingcomponent, the Group recognises the transaction price at an amount that reflects the pricethat a customer would have paid for the promised goods or services if the customer had paidcash for those goods or services when (or as) they transfer to the customer. The differencebetween the amount of promised consideration and the cash selling price is amortised usingan effective interest method over the contract term. The Group does not adjust theconsideration for any effects of a significant financing component if it expects, at contractinception, that the period between when the Group transfers a promised good or service to acustomer and when the customer pays for that good or service will be one year or less.

The Group satisfies a performance obligation over time if one of the following criteria is met;or otherwise, a performance obligation is satisfied at a point in time:

- the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits provided by the Group’sperformance as the Group performs;- the customer can control the asset created or enhanced during the Group’s performance;or- the Group’s performance does not create an asset with an alternative use to it and theGroup has an enforceable right to payment for performance completed to date.

For performance obligation satisfied over time, the Group recognises revenue over time bymeasuring the progress towards complete satisfaction of that performance obligation. Whenthe outcome of that performance obligation cannot be measured reasonably, but the Groupexpects to recover the costs incurred in satisfying the performance obligation, the Grouprecognises revenue only to the extent of the costs incurred until such time that it canreasonably measure the outcome of the performance obligation.

For performance obligation satisfied at a point in time, the Group recognises revenue at thepoint in time at which the customer obtains control of relevant goods or services. Todetermine whether a customer has obtained control of goods or services, the Groupconsiders the following indicators:

- the Group has a present right to payment for the goods or services;- the Group has transferred physical possession of the goods to the customer;- the Group has transferred the legal title of the goods or the significant risks and rewards ofownership of the goods to the customer; and- the customer has accepted the goods or services.

For the sale of a product with a right of return, the Group recognises revenue when theGroup obtains control of that product, in the amount of consideration to which the Groupexpects to be entitled in exchange for the product transferred (i.e. excluding the amount ofwhich expected to be returned), and recognises a refund liability for the products expected tobe returned. Meanwhile, an asset is recognised in the amount of carrying amount of theproduct expected to be returned less any expected costs to recover those products (includingpotential decreases in the value of returned products), and carry forward to cost in theamount of carrying amount of the transferred products less the above costs. At the end ofeach reporting period, the Group updates its assessment of future sales return. If there isany change, it is accounted for as a change in accounting estimate.

A contract asset is the Group’s right to consideration in exchange for goods or services that ithas transferred to a customer when that right is conditional on something other than thepassage of time. The Group recognises loss allowances for expected credit loss on contractassets (see Note III.10(6)). Accounts receivable is the Group’s right to consideration that isunconditional (only the passage of time is required). A contract liability is the Group’sobligation to transfer goods or services to a customer for which the Group has receivedconsideration (or an amount of consideration is due) from the customer.

The following is the description of accounting policies regarding revenue from the Group’sprincipal activities:

The Group’s sales revenue is mainly derived from dealer sales. Revenue is recognisedwhen the Group transfers control of the related products to the customer. Based on thebusiness contract, the Group recognised the sales revenue of these transfers when theproduct is confirmed and signed for acceptance by the customers.

26 Contract costs

Contract costs are either the incremental costs of obtaining a contract with a customer or thecosts to fulfil a contract with a customer.

Incremental costs of obtaining a contract are those costs that the Group incurs to obtain acontract with a customer that it would not have incurred if the contract had not been obtainede.g. an incremental sales commission. The Group recognises as an asset the incrementalcosts of obtaining a contract with a customer if it expects to recover those costs. Other costsof obtaining a contract are expensed when incurred.

If the costs to fulfil a contract with a customer are not within the scope of inventories or otheraccounting standards, the Group recognises an asset from the costs incurred to fulfil acontract only if those costs meet all of the following criteria:

- the costs relate directly to an existing contract or to a specifically identifiable anticipatedcontract, including direct labour, direct materials, allocations of overheads (or similarcosts), costs that are explicitly chargeable to the customer and other costs that areincurred only because the Group entered into the contract- the costs generate or enhance resources of the Group that will be used in satisfying (or incontinuing to satisfy) performance obligations in the future; and- the costs are expected to be recovered.

Assets recognised for the incremental costs of obtaining a contract and assets recognised forthe costs to fulfil a contract (the “assets related to contract costs”) are amortised on asystematic basis that is consistent with the transfer to the customer of the goods or servicesto which the assets relate and recognised in profit or loss for the current period. The Grouprecognises the incremental costs of obtaining a contract as an expense when incurred if theamortisation period of the asset that the entity otherwise would have recognised is one yearor less.

The Group recognises an impairment loss in profit or loss to the extent that the carryingamount of an asset related to contract costs exceeds:

- remaining amount of consideration that the Group expects to receive in exchange for the

goods or services to which the asset relates; less- the costs that relate directly to providing those goods or services that have not yet beenrecognised as expenses.

27 Employee benefits

(1) Short-term employee benefits

Employee wages or salaries, bonuses, social security contributions such as medicalinsurance, work injury insurance, maternity insurance and housing fund, measured at theamount incurred or accured at the applicable benchmarks and rates, are recognised as aliability as the employee provides services, with a corresponding charge to profit or loss orincluded in the cost of assets where appropriate.

(2) Post-employment benefits – defined contribution plans

Pursuant to the relevant laws and regulations of the People’s Republic of China, the Groupparticipated in a defined contribution basic pension insurance plan in the social insurancesystem established and managed by government organisations. The Group makescontributions to basic pension insurance plans based on the applicable benchmarks andrates stipulated by the government. Basic pension insurance contributions payable arerecognised as a liability as the employee provides services, with a corresponding charge toprofit or loss or included in the cost of assets where appropriate.

(3) Termination benefits

When the Group terminates the employment with employees before the employmentcontracts expire, or provides compensation under an offer to encourage employees to acceptvoluntary redundancy, a provision is recognised with a corresponding expense in profit orloss at the earlier of the following dates:

- When the Group cannot unilaterally withdraw the offer of termination benefits because ofan employee termination plan or a curtailment proposal;- When the Group has a formal detailed restructuring plan involving the payment oftermination benefits and has raised a valid expectation in those affected that it will carryout the restructuring by starting to implement that plan or announcing its main features tothose affected by it.

28 Government grants

Government grants are non-reciprocal transfers of monetary or non-monetary assets fromthe government to the Group except for capital contributions from the government in thecapacity as an investor in the Group.

A government grant is recognised when there is reasonable assurance that the grant will bereceived and that the Group will comply with the conditions attaching to the grant.

If a government grant is in the form of a transfer of a monetary asset, it is measured at theamount received or receivable. If a government grant is in the form of a transfer of a non-monetary asset, it is measured at fair value.

Government grants related to assets are grants whose primary condition is that the Groupqualifying for them should purchase, construct or otherwise acquire long-term assets.Government grants related to income are grants other than those related to assets. Agovernment grant related to an asset is recognised as deferred income and amortised overthe useful life of the related asset on a reasonable and systematic manner as other incomeor non-operating income. A grant that compensates the Group for expenses or losses to beincurred in the future is recognised as deferred income, and included in other income or non-operating income in the periods in which the expenses or losses are recognised. Or includedin other income or non-operating income directly.

29 Income tax

Current tax and deferred tax are recognised in profit or loss except to the extent that theyrelate to a business combination or items recognised directly in equity (including othercomprehensive income).

Current tax is the expected tax payable calculated at the applicable tax rate on taxableincome for the year, plus any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years.

At the balance sheet date, current tax assets and liabilities are offset only if the Group has alegally enforceable right to set them off and also intends either to settle on a net basis or torealise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities arise from deductible and taxable temporarydifferences respectively, being the differences between the carrying amounts of assets andliabilities for financial reporting purposes and their tax bases, which include deductible lossesand tax credits carried forward to subsequent periods. Deferred tax assets are recognised tothe extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against whichdeductible temporary differences can be utilised.

Deferred tax is not recognised for temporary differences arising from the initial recognition ofassets or liabilities in a single transaction that is not a business combination, affects neitheraccounting profit nor taxable profit (or deductible loss) and does not give rise to equal taxableand deductible temporary differences. Deferred tax is also not recognised for taxabletemporary differences arising from the initial recognition of goodwill.

At the balance sheet date, deferred tax is measured based on the tax consequences thatwould follow from the expected manner of recovery or settlement of the carrying amounts ofthe assets and liabilities, using tax rates enacted at the balance sheet date that are expectedto be applied in the period when the asset is recovered or the liability is settled.

The carrying amount of a deferred tax asset is reviewed at each balance sheet date, and isreduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefits will be utilised.Such reductions are reversed to the extent that it becomes probable that sufficient taxableprofits will be available.

At the balance sheet date, deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset if all ofthe following conditions are met:

- the taxable entity has a legally enforceable right to offset current tax liabilities and currenttax assets;- they relate to income taxes levied by the same tax authority on either:

- the same taxable entity; or- different taxable entities which intend either to settle the current tax liabilities and currenttax assets on a net basis, or to realise the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously,in each future period in which significant amounts of deferred tax liabilities or deferred taxassets are expected to be settled or recovered.

30 Leases

A contract is lease if the lessor conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset tolessee for a period of time in exchange for consideration.

At inception of a contract, the Group assesses whether a contract is, or contains, a lease. Acontract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of anidentified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration.

To assess whether a contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset, theGroup assesses whether:

- the contract involves the use of an identified asset. An identified asset may be specifiedexplicitly or implicitly speicied in a contrat and should be physically distinct, or capacityportion or other portion of an asset that is not physically distinct but it representssubstantially all of the capacity of the asset and thereby provides the customer with theright to obtain substantially all of the ecomonic benefits from the use of the asset. If thesupplier has a substantive substitution right throughout the period of use, then the asset isnot identified;- the lessee has the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from use of theasset throughout the period of use;- the lessee has the right to direct the use of the asset.

For a contract that contains more separate lease componets, the lessee and the lessorseparate lease components and account for each lease component as a lease separately.For a contract that contains lease and non-lease components, the lessee and the lessorseparate lease components from non-lease components. For a contract that contains leaseand non-lease components, the lessee allocates the consideration in the contract to eachlease component on the basis of the relative stand-alone price of the lease component andthe aggregate stand-alone price of the non-lease components. The lessor allocates theconsideration in the contract in accordance with the accounting policy in Note III.25.

(1) As a lessee

The Group recognises a right-of-use asset and a lease liability at the lease commencementdate. The right-of-use asset is initially measured at cost, which comprises the initial amountof the lease liability, any lease payments made at or before the commencement date (lessany lease incentives received), any initial direct costs incurred and an estimate of costs todismantle and remove the underlying asset or to restore the site on which it is located orrestore the underlying asset to the condition required by the terms and conditions of thelease.

The right-of-use asset is depreciated using the straight-line method. If the lessee isreasonably certain to exercise a purchase option by the end of the lease term, the right-of-use asset is depreciated over the remaining useful lives of the underlying asset. Otherwise,the right-of-use asset is depreciated from the commencement date to the earlier of the end ofthe useful life of the right-of-use asset or the end of the lease term. Impairment losses ofright-of-use assets are accounted for in accordance with the accounting policy described inNote III.21.

The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are notpaid at the commencement date, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, ifthat rate cannot be readily determined, the Group’s incremental borrowing rate.

A constant periodic rate is used to calculate the interest on the lease liability in each periodduring the lease term with a corresponding charge to profit or loss or included in the cost ofassets where appropriate. Variable lease payments not included in the measurement of thelease liability is charged to profit or loss or included in the cost of assets where appropriateas incurred.

Under the following circumstances after the commencement date, the Group remeasureslease liabilities based on the present value of revised lease payments:

- there is a change in the amounts expected to be payable under a residual valueguarantee;- there is a change in future lease payments resulting from a change in an index or a rate

used to determine those payments;- there is a change in the assessment of whether the Group will exercise a purchase,extension or termination option, or there is a change in the exercise of the extension ortermination option.

When the lease liability is remeasured, a corresponding adjustment is made to the carryingamount of the right-of-use asset, or is recorded in profit or loss if the carrying amount of theright-of-use asset has been reduced to zero.

The Group has elected not to recognise right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for short-termleases that have a lease term of 12 months or less and leases of low-value assets. TheGroup recognises the lease payments associated with these leases in profit or loss or as thecost of the assets where appropriate using the straight-line method over the lease term.

(2) As a lessor

The Group determines at lease inception whether each lease is a finance lease or anoperating lease. A lease is classified as a finance lease if it transfers substantially all therisks and rewards incidental to ownership of an underlying asset irrespective of whether thelegal title to the asset is eventually transferred. An operating lease is a lease other than afinance lease.

When the Group is a sub-lessor, it assesses the lease classification of a sub-lease withreference to the right-of-use asset arising from the head lease, not with reference to theunderlying asset. If a head lease is a short-term lease to which the Group applies practicalexpedient described above, then it classifies the sub-lease as an operating lease.

Under a finance lease, at the commencement date, the Group recognises the finance leasereceivable and derecognises the finance lease asset. The finance lease receivable is initiallymeasured at an amount equal to the net investment in the lease. The net investment in thelease is measured at the aggregate of the unguaranteed residual value and the presentvalue of the lease receivable that are not received at the commencement date, discountedusing the interest rate implicit in the lease.

The Group recognises finance income over the lease term, based on a pattern reflecting aconstant periodic rate of return. The derecognition and impairment of the finance leasereceivable are recognised in accordance with the accounting policy in Note III.10. Variablelease payments not included in the measurement of net investment in the lease arerecognised as income as they are earned.

Lease receipts from operating leases is recognised as income using the straight-line methodover the lease term. The initial direct costs incurred in respect of the operating lease areinitially capitalised and subsequently amortised in profit or loss over the lease term on thesame basis as the lease income. Variable lease payments not included in lease receipts arerecognised as income as they are earned.

31 Assets held for sale

The Group classified a non-current asset or disposal group as held for sale when thecarrying amount of a non-current asset or disposal group will be recovered through a saletransaction rather than through continuing use.

A disposal group refers to a group of assets to be disposed of, by sale or otherwise, togetheras a whole in a single transaction and liabilities directly associated with those assets that willbe transferred in the transaction.

A non-current asset or disposal group is classified as held for sale when all the followingcriteria are met:

- According to the customary practices of selling such asset or disposal group in similartransactions, the non-current asset or disposal group must be available for immediate salein their present condition subject to terms that are usual and customary for sales of suchassets or disposal groups;- Its sale is highly probable, that is, the Group has made a resolution on a sale plan and hasobtained a firm purchase commitment. The sale is to be completed within one year.

Non-current assets or disposal groups held for sale are stated at the lower of carryingamount and fair value (see Note III.22) less costs to sell (except financial assets (see NoteIII.10), deferred tax assets (see Note III.29) and investment properties subsequent measuredat fair value (see Note III. 13) initially and subsequently. Any excess of the carrying amountover the fair value (see Note III.22) less costs to sell is recognised as an impairment loss inprofit or loss.

32 Profit distributions

Dividends or profit distributions proposed in the profit appropriation plan, which will beapproved after the balance sheet date, are not recognised as a liability at the balance sheetdate but are disclosed in the notes separately.

33 Related parties

If a party has the power to control, jointly control or exercise significant influence overanother party, or vice versa, or where two or more parties are subject to common control orjoint control from another party, they are considered to be related parties. Related partiesmay be individuals or enterprises. Enterprises with which the Company is under commoncontrol only from the State and that have no other related party relationships are notregarded as related parties.

In addition to the related parties stated above, the Company determines related partiesbased on the disclosure requirements of Administrative Procedures on the InformationDisclosures of Listed Companies issued by the CSRC.

34 Segment reporting

The Group is principally engaged in the production and sales of wine, brandy, and sparklingwine in China, France, Spain, Chile and Australia. In accordance with the Group’s internalorganisation structure, management requirements and internal reporting system, the Group’soperation is divided into five parts: China, Spain, France, Chile and Australia. Themanagement periodically evaluates segment results, in order to allocate resources andevaluate performances. In 2023, over 86% of revenue, more than 96% of profit and over91% of non-current assets derived from China/are located in China. Therefore the Groupdoes not need to disclose additional segment report information.

35 Significant accounting estimates and judgements

The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make estimates andassumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts ofassets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates. Themanagement estimates as well as underlying assumptions and uncertainties involved arereviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in theperiod in which the estimate is revised and in any future periods affected.

Significant accounting estimates see Notes V.3 7 11 and 16.

36 Changes in significant accounting policies

In 2023, the Group has adopted the following newly revised accounting standards andimplementation guidance and illustrative examples issued by the MOF:

The accounting treatment of deferred tax related to assets and liabilities arising from a singletransaction excluded from the scope of the initial recognition exemption” in CAS BulletinNo.16 (Caikuai [2022] No.31) (“CAS Bulletin No.16”)

According to the provisions, for taxable and deductible temporary differences arising from theinitial recognition of assets or liabilities in a single transaction that is not a businesscombination, affects neither accounting profits nor taxable profit (or deductible losses) andgives rise to equal taxable and deductible temporary differences, the Group recognises thecorresponding deferred tax liabilities and deferred tax assets respectively in accordance withrelevant provisions in CAS 18 - Income Tax when such transactions occur, instead ofrecognising deferred tax liabilities or deferred tax assets based on the net amount of taxableand deductible temporary differences. The adoption of the above requirements and guidancedoes not have a significant effect on the financial position and financial performance of theGroup.

IX. Risk related to financial instruments

The Group has exposure to the following main risks from its use of financial instruments inthe normal course of the Group’s operations:

- Credit risk- Liquidity risk- Interest rate risk- Foreign currency risk

The following mainly presents information about the Group’s exposure to each of the aboverisks and their sources, their changes during the year, and the Group’s objectives, policiesand processes for measuring and managing risks, and their changes during the year.

The Group aims to seek appropriate balance between the risks and benefits from its use offinancial instruments and to mitigate the adverse effects that the risks of financial instrumentshave on the Group’s financial performance. Based on such objectives, the Group’s riskmanagement policies are established to identify and analyse the risks faced by the Group, toset appropriate risk limits and controls, and to monitor risks and adherence to limits. Riskmanagement policies and systems are reviewed regularly to reflect changes in marketconditions and the Group’s activities.

1 Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk that one party to a financial instrument will cause a financial loss for theother party by failing to discharge an obligation. The Group’s credit risk is primarilyattributable to cash at bank, receivables, debt investments and derivative financialinstruments entered into for hedging purposes. Exposure to these credit risks are monitoredby management on an ongoing basis.

The cash at bank of the Group is mainly held with well-known financial institutions.Management does not foresee any significant credit risks from these deposits and does notexpect that these financial institutions may default and cause losses to the Group.

As at 31 December 2023, the Group’s maximum exposure to credit risk which will cause afinancial loss to the Group due to failure to discharge an obligation by the counterparties.

In order to minimise the credit risk, the Group has adopted a policy to ensure that all salescustomers have good credit records. According to the policy of the Group, credit review isrequired for clients who require credit transactions. In addition, the Group continuouslymonitors the balance of account receivable to ensure there’s no exposure to significant baddebt risks. For transactions that are not denominated in the functional currency of therelevant operating unit, the Group does not offer credit terms without the specific approval ofthe Department of Credit Control in the Group. In addition, the Group reviews therecoverable amount of each individual trade debt at each balance sheet date to ensure thatadequate impairment losses are made for irrecoverable amounts. In this regard, themanagement of the Group considers that the Group’s credit risk is significantly reduced.

Since the Group trades only with recognised and creditworthy third parties, there is norequirement for collateral. Concentrations of credit risk are managed bycustomer/counterparty, by geographical region and by industry sector. As at 31 December2023, 49.0% of the Group trade receivables are due from top five customers (31 December2022: 48.8%). There is no collateral or other credit enhancement on the balance of the tradereceivables of the Group.

2 Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that an enterprise will encounter difficulty in meeting obligations thatare settled by delivering cash or another financial asset. The Company and its individualsubsidiaries are responsible for their own cash management, including short-term investmentof cash surpluses and the raising of loans to cover expected cash demands (subject toapproval by the Company’s board when the borrowings exceed certain predeterminedlevels). The Group’s policy is to regularly monitor its liquidity requirements and itscompliance with lending covenants, to ensure that it maintains sufficient reserves of cash,readily realisable marketable securities and adequate committed lines of funding from majorfinancial institutions to meet its liquidity requirements in the short and longer term.

The following tables set out the remaining contractual maturities at the balance sheet date ofthe Group’s financial liabilities, which are based on contractual undiscounted cash flows(including interest payments computed using contractual rates or, if floating, based on ratescurrent at the balance sheet date) and the earliest date the Group can be required to pay:

3 Interest rate risk

Interest-bearing financial instruments at variable rates and at fixed rates expose the Group tocash flow interest rate risk and fair value interest risk, respectively. The Group determinesthe appropriate weightings of the fixed and floating rate interest-bearing instruments basedon the current market conditions and performs regular reviews and monitoring to achieve anappropriate mix of fixed and floating rate exposure.

(1) As at 31 December, the Group held the following interest-bearing financial instruments:

Fixed rate instruments:

(2) Sensitivity analysis

Management of the Group believes interest rate risk on bank deposit is not significant,therefore does not disclose sensitivity analysis for interest rate risk.

As at 31 December 2023, based on assumptions above, it is estimated that a generalincrease of 50 basis points in interest rates, with all other variables held constant, woulddecrease the Group’s equity by RMB 1,453,823 (2022: RMB1,055,235), and net profit byRMB 1,453,823 (2022: RMB1,055,235).

The sensitivity analysis above indicates the instantaneous change in the net profit and equitythat would arise assuming that the change in interest rates had occurred at the balancesheet date and had been applied to re-measure those financial instruments held by theGroup which expose the Group to fair value interest rate risk at the balance sheet date. Inrespect of the exposure to cash flow interest rate risk arising from floating rate non-derivativeinstruments held by the Group at the balance sheet date, the impact on the net profit andequity is estimated as an annualised impact on interest expense or income of such a changein interest rates.

4 Foreign currency risk

In respect of cash at bank and on hand, accounts receivable and payable, short-term loansdenominated in foreign currencies other than the functional currency, the Group ensures thatits net exposure is kept to an acceptable level by buying or selling foreign currencies at spotrates when necessary to address short-term imbalances.

(1) As at 31 December, the Group’s exposure to main currency risk arising from recognised

assets or liabilities denominated in foreign currencies is presented in the following tables.For presentation purposes, the amounts of the exposure are shown in Renminbi, translatedusing the spot rate at the balance sheet date. Differences resulting from the translation ofthe financial statements denominated in foreign currency are excluded.

	2023		2022
	Balance at foreign currency	Balance at RMB equivalent	Balance at foreign currency	Balance at RMB equivalent
Cash at bank and on hand
- USD	308,229	2,184,232	10,922	76,068
- EUR	67	523	67	494
- HKD	217	196	208	186
Short-term loans	?	?
- USD	13,625,000	96,562,141	13,750,000	95,792,132

(2) The following are the exchange rates for Renminbi against foreign currencies applied by the

Group:

	Average rate		Balance sheet date mid-spot rate
	2023	2022	2023	2022
USD	7.0558	6.7573	7.0871	6.9646
EUR	7.6689	7.0985	7.8592	7.4229
HKD	0.9011	0.8583	0.9062	0.8933

(3) Sensitivity analysis

Assuming all other risk variables remained constant, a 5% strengthening of the Renminbiagainst the US dollar and Euro dollar at 31 December would have impact on the Group’sequity and net profit by the amount shown below. whose effect is in Renminbi and translatedusing the spot rate at the year-end date:

	Equity	Net profit
31 December 2023
USD	3,539,172	3,539,172
EUR	(20)	(20)
HKD	(7)	(7)
Total	3,539,145	3,539,145
31 December 2022
USD	3,589,352	3,589,352
EUR	(19)	(19)
HKD	(7)	(7)
Total	3,589,326	3,589,326

A 5% weakening of the Renminbi against the US dollar and Euro dollar at 31 Decemberwould have had the equal but opposite effect to the amounts shown above, on the basis thatall other variables remained constant.
