The Company has also improved production technology and boosted capacity of key upstream units to maximize the use and the efficiency in the utilization of its corporate resources, and is therefore able to achieve strong and sustainable development.

Section 2: Management Discussion and Analysis

(1) Management Discussion and Analysis of the Overall Operations during the Reporting Period

(The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the unaudited financial report of the Group and the notes in this interim report. Unless otherwise specified, certain financial data involved hereinafter are extracted from the unaudited interim financial report prepared in accordance with IFRS.)

1. Review of the Company’s operations during the Reporting Period

In the first half of 2021, the global economy gradually recovered from the recession caused by COVID-19, but the pace of recovery varied across countries. China’s achievements in coordinating epidemic prevention and control as well as economic and social development have been continuously expanded and consolidated, and the economy has continued to recover steadily. In the first half of the year, there was a year-on-year increase of 12.7% in China’s GDP. China’s petrochemical industry got off to a good start with substantial growth in revenue and profits. There was an increase in the production quantity of major products in the petrochemical industry and the consumption of major products in the market has been performing well. However, in response to climate changes, the development of the petrochemical industry has also faced new challenges. The aim to peak carbon dioxide emissions and to achieve carbon neutrality has put forward new requirements to the development mode and quality of the industry.

2. Market Outlook and Work Plans for the Second Half of the Year Style

Looking forward to the second half of 2021, although the world economic recovery is relatively strong, the uncertainty of COVID-19, the game between major powers which continues to intensify, the industrial chain and supply chain to recover, the US monetary policy shift and other factors will increase the security pressure on China’s economic development. The base effect, policy stimulus effect and trade substitution effect are weakening, and the macroeconomic growth rate will continue to fall. OPEC+ reached a new production increase agreement combined with the overall high inventory pressure, so the rising situation of the petrochemical industry market may fall back, and profitability may be weaker than the first half.

CHAPTER THREE REPORT OF THE DIRECTORS (continued)

(6) Other Disclosure Items

1. Possible Risks

(i) The cyclical characteristics of the petroleum and petrochemical products market and price volatility in crude oil and petrochemical products may have an adverse impact on the Group’s operations.

A large part of the Group’s operating income is derived from the sales of refined oil and petrochemical products. Historically, such products have been cyclical in nature and relatively sensitive to macroeconomic changes. Additionally, changes in regional and global economic conditions, productivity and output, prices and supply of raw materials, consumer demand and prices and supply of substitutes also have an effect. From time to time, these factors have a material impact on the prices of the Group’s products in regional and global markets. Given the reduction of tariffs and other import restrictions as well as the relaxation of control by the PRC government over the distribution and pricing of products, a substantial number of the Group’s products will increasingly be subject to the cyclical impact in the regional and global markets. In addition, the prices of crude oil and petrochemical products will remain volatile, and uncertain. Higher crude oil prices and lower petrochemical products prices are likely to have an adverse impact on the Group’s business, operating results and financial condition.

(ii) The Group may be exposed to risks associated with the procurement of imported crude oil and may not be able to pass on all increased costs due to rising crude oil price.

At present, the Group consumes a significant amount of crude oil for the production of petrochemical products. More than 95% of the crude oil consumption is imported. In recent years, crude oil prices have been subject to significant fluctuations due to a variety of factors, and the Group cannot rule out the possibility of any major unexpected event which may cause a suspension in crude oil supply. The Group has attempted to mitigate the effects of increased costs from rising crude oil prices but the ability to pass them on to the customers is limited because of market conditions and government control over the pricing of refined oil products. Since there is a time-lag between increases in crude oil prices and increases in petrochemical product prices, higher costs cannot be totally offset by raising the selling prices. In addition, the State also imposes control over the distribution of some petroleum products within China. For instance, some of the Group’s petroleum products are required to be sold to designated customers (such as subsidiaries of Sinopec Corp). Hence, when crude oil prices are high, the higher costs cannot be totally offset by raising the selling prices of the Group’s petroleum products.

2021 Interim Report    23

CHAPTER THREE REPORT OF THE DIRECTORS (continued)

(iii) Substantial capital expenditures and financing requirements are required for the Group’s development plans, presenting a number of risks and uncertainties.

The petrochemical industry is a capital-intensive industry. The Group’s ability to maintain and raise income, net income and cash flows is closely connected with ongoing capital expenditures. The Group’s estimated capital expenditures is estimated to amount to approximately RMB3,250.0 million in 2021, which will be met by internal funding and by bank loans. The Group’s effective capital expenditures may vary significantly due to the Group’s ability to generate sufficient cash flows from operations, investments and other factors that are beyond control. Furthermore, there is no assurance as to the completion, cost or outcome of the Group’s fund raising projects.

The Group’s ability to secure external financing in the future is subject to a number of uncertainties which include the Company’s operating results, financial conditions and cash flow in the future; China’s economic conditions and the market conditions for the Group’s products; financing costs and conditions of the financial market, and issuance of government approval documents, as well as other risks associated with the development of infrastructure projects in China and so forth. The Group’s failure to secure sufficient financing required for its operations or development plans may have an adverse impact on the Group’s business, operating results and financial condition.

(iv) The Group’s business operations may be affected by existing or future environmental protection regulations.

The Group is subject to a number of environmental protection laws and regulations in China. Waste products (waste water, waste gas and waste residue) are generated during the Group’s production operations. Currently the Group’s operations fully comply with all applicable Chinese environmental protection laws and regulations. However, the Chinese government may further enforce stricter environmental standards, and the Group cannot assure that the central or local governments will not issue more regulations or enforce stricter regulations which may cause the Group to incur additional expenses on environmental protection measures.

24    Sinopec Shanghai Petrochemical Company Limited

CHAPTER THREE REPORT OF THE DIRECTORS (continued)

(v) Changes in the monetary policy and fluctuations in the value of Renminbi may have an adverse impact on the Group’s business and operating results.

The exchange rate of the Renminbi against the US Dollar and other foreign currencies may fluctuate and is subject to alterations due to changes on the Chinese political and economic situations. In July 2005, the PRC government overhauled its policy of pegging the value of the Renminbi to the US dollar by permitting the Renminbi to fluctuate within a certain band against a basket of foreign currencies. Since the adoption of this new policy, the value of the Renminbi against the US dollar fluctuates daily. In addition, the Chinese government has been under international pressure to further ease its exchange rate policy, and may as a result further change its currency policy. A small portion of our cash and cash equivalents are denominated in foreign currencies, including the US dollar. Any increase in the value of Renminbi against other currencies, including the US dollar, may decrease the Renminbi value of our cash and cash equivalents that are denominated in foreign currencies. On the other hand, most of our revenue is denominated in Renminbi, but a major part of our procurement of crude oil, certain equipment and certain debt repayments are denominated in foreign currencies. Any devaluation of Renminbi in the future will increase our costs and jeopardize profitability. Any devaluation of Renminbi may also have an adverse impact on the value of dividends payable in foreign currencies by the Group for H shares and American Depository Securities.

(vi) Connected transactions may have an adverse impact on the Group’s business and economic efficiency.

The Group will, from time to time, continue to conduct transactions with the Group’s controlling shareholder Sinopec Corp. and Sinopec Corp.’s controlling shareholder Sinopec Group as well as their connected parties (subsidiaries or associates). These connected transactions include the provision of the following services by such connected parties to the Group: raw materials purchases, agency sale of petrochemical products, construction, installation and engineering design services, petrochemical products industry insurance services and financial services, and the sale of petroleum and petrochemical products by the Group to Sinopec Corp. and its connected parties. These connected transactions and services conducted by the Group are carried out under normal commercial terms and in accordance with the relevant agreements. However, if Sinopec Corp. and Sinopec Group refuse to conduct such transactions or revise the agreements between the Group and itself in a manner unfavorable to the Group, the Group’s business and business efficiency will be adversely impacted. Furthermore, Sinopec Corp. has an interest in certain sectors that are directly or indirectly competing with or which may compete with the Group’s business. Since Sinopec Corp. is the controlling shareholder of the Group and its own interests may conflict with those of the Group, it may act for its own benefit regardless of the Group’s interests.

(vii) Risks associated with control by the majority shareholder

Sinopec Corp., the controlling shareholder of the Company, owns 5,460,000,000 shares of the Company, which represents 50.44% of the total number of shares of the Company and gives it an absolute controlling position. Sinopec Corp. may, by using its controlling position, exercise influence over the Group’s production operations, fund allocations, appointment or removal of senior staff and so forth, thereby adversely affecting the Group’s production operations as well as minority shareholders’ interests.

Review report

to the board of directors of Sinopec Shanghai Petrochemical Company Limited

(Incorporated in the People’s Republic of China with limited liability)

Introduction

We have reviewed the interim financial report set out on pages 50 to 91, which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position of Sinopec Shanghai Petrochemical Company Limited (the “Company”) as of 30 June 2021 and the related consolidated statement of profit or loss, statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income and statement of changes in equity and condensed consolidated cash flow statement for the six-month period then ended and explanatory notes. The Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited require the preparation of an interim financial report to be in compliance with the relevant provisions thereof and International Accounting Standard 34, Interim financial reporting issued by the International Accounting Standards Board. The directors are responsible for the preparation and presentation of the interim financial report in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34.

Our responsibility is to form a conclusion, based on our review, on the interim financial report and to report our conclusion solely to you, as a body, in accordance with our agreed terms of engagement and for no other purpose. We do not assume responsibility towards or accept liability to any other person for the contents of this report.

Scope of Review

We conducted our review in accordance with Hong Kong Standard on Review Engagements 2410, Review of interim financial information performed by the independent auditor of the entity issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants. A review of the interim financial report consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Hong Kong Standards on Auditing and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Conclusion

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the interim financial report as at 30 June 2021 is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34, Interim financial reporting.

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED INTERIM FINANCIAL REPORT

(Expressed in Renminbi Yuan unless otherwise indicated)

1 General information and basis of preparation

Sinopec Shanghai Petrochemical Company Limited (“the Company”), located in Jinshan District of Shanghai, is one of the largest refining-chemical integrated petrochemical companies in China. It is one of the subsidiaries of China Petroleum & Chemical Corporation (“Sinopec Corp.”). The Company and its subsidiaries (“the Group”) are principally engaged in processing the crude oil into synthetic fibres, resins and plastics, intermediate petrochemical and petroleum products.

This interim financial report has been prepared in accordance with the applicable disclosure provisions of the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited, including compliance with International Accounting Standard (“IAS”) 34, Interim Financial Reporting, adopted by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”). It was authorised for issue on 25 August 2021.

The interim financial report has been prepared in accordance with the same accounting policies adopted in the 2020 annual financial statements, except for the accounting policy changes that are expected to be reflected in the 2021 annual financial statements. Details of any changes in accounting policies are set out in note 2.

The preparation of an interim financial report in conformity with IAS 34 requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of policies and reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expenses on a year to date basis. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

This interim financial report contains condensed consolidated financial statements and selected explanatory notes. The notes include an explanation of events and transactions that are significant to an understanding of the changes in financial position and performance of the Group since the 2020 annual financial statements. The condensed consolidated interim financial statements and notes thereon do not include all of the information required for full set of financial statements prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRSs”).

The interim financial report is unaudited, but has been reviewed by KPMG in accordance with Hong Kong Standard on Review Engagements 2410, Review of interim financial information performed by the independent auditor of the entity, issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants. KPMG’s independent review report to the Board of Directors is included on Page 49.

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED INTERIM FINANCIAL REPORT (continued)

(Expressed in Renminbi Yuan unless otherwise indicated)

2 Changes in accounting policies

The Group has applied the following amendments to IFRSs issued by IASB to the interim financial report for the current accounting period:

• Amendments to IFRS 16, Covid-19-related rent concessions beyond 30 June 2021

• Amendments to IFRS 9, IAS 39, IFRS 7, IFRS 4 and IFRS 16, Interest rate benchmark reform — phase 2

None of these developments have had a material effect on how the Group’s results and financial position for the current or prior periods have been prepared or presented in this interim financial report. The Group has not applied any new standard or interpretation that is not yet effective for the current accounting period.

3 Segment reporting

The Group manages its business by divisions, which are organised by business lines. In view of the fact that the Company and its subsidiaries operate mainly in the PRC, no geographical segment information is presented.

In a manner consistent with the way in which information is reported internally to the Group’s chief operating decision maker, Board of Directors, for the purposes of resource allocation and performance assessment, the Group has identified the following five reportable segments. No operating segments have been aggregated to form the following reportable segments.

The basis of segmentation and the basis of measurement of segment profits or losses, and assets and liabilities are consistent with those of the annual financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2020.

The Company did not carry out business overseas and therefore does not incur overseas income taxes.

6 Earnings/(loss) per share

(a) Basic earnings/(loss) per share

The calculation of basic earnings/(loss) per share is based on the profit attributable to equity shareholders of the Company for the six months ended 30 June 2021 of RMB1,276,462,000 (six months ended 30 June 2020: loss of RMB1,670,829,000) and 10,823,813,500 shares (six months ended 30 June 2020: 10,823,813,500 shares) in issue during the interim period.

6 Earnings/(loss) per share (continued)

(b) Diluted earnings/(loss) per share

There were no dilutive potential ordinary shares for the six months ended 30 June 2021 and 2020, therefore diluted earnings per share is the same as basic earnings per share.

7 Dividends

(i) Dividends payable to equity shareholders of the Company attributable to the interim period

The Board of Directors did not propose any dividend in respect of the six months ended 30 June 2021 (six months ended 30 June 2020: Nil).

Final dividend in respect of the previous financial year, approved during the following interim period, of RMB0.10 per ordinary share (six months ended 30 June 2020: RMB0.12 per ordinary share)		1,082,381		1,298,858

Pursuant to a resolution passed at the Annual General Meeting held on 16 June 2021, a total dividend of RMB1,082,381,000 was declared for the year ended 31 December 2020 and subsequently paid in July 2021.

Pursuant to a resolution passed at the Annual General Meeting held on 18 June 2020, a total dividend of RMB1,298,858,000 was declared for the year ended 31 December 2019 and subsequently paid in July 2020.

8 Property, plant and equipment and construction in progress

(a) Acquisitions and disposals of owned assets

During the six months ended 30 June 2021, acquisitions of property, plant and equipment and additions of construction in progress of the Group amounted to RMB19,094,000 (six months ended 30 June 2020: RMB103,567,000) and RMB1,173,826,000 (six months ended 30 June 2020: RMB427,663,000), respectively. Items of property, plant and equipment and construction in progress with an aggregate net book value of RMB25,395,000 were disposed of during the six months ended 30 June 2021 (six months ended 30 June 2020: RMB17,003,000), resulting in a gain on disposal of RMB62,290,000 (six months ended 30 June 2020: gain on disposal of RMB2,186,000).

(b) Impairment losses

During the six months ended 30 June 2021, certain equipments were idle. The Group assessed the recoverable amounts of those equipment and as a result, the carrying amounts of those equipment were written down to their recoverable amount of RMB3,176,000 and an impairment loss of RMB16,803,000 (six months ended 30 June 2020: Nil) was recognised in “cost of sales”.

Equity investments		5,000		5,000
		1,248,176		1,222,114

(i) As at 30 June 2021 and 31 December 2020, certain trade receivables and bills receivable were classified as financial assets at FVOCI, as the Group’s business model is achieved both by collecting contractual cash flows and selling of these assets.

(ii) As at 30 June 2021, the Group discounted certain bank acceptance bills to banks for cash proceeds and endorsed certain bank acceptance bills to suppliers for settling trade payables of the same amount on a full recourse basis. The Group has derecognised these bills receivable and the payables to suppliers in their entirety. These derecognised bank acceptance bills had a maturity date less than twelve months from the end of the reporting period. In the opinion of the directors, the Group has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of these bills to its suppliers, and the Group has limited exposure in respect of the settlement obligation of these bills receivable under the relevant PRC rules and regulations should the issuing banks fail to settle the bills on maturity date. The Group considered the issuing banks of the bills are of good credit rating and the non-settlement of these bills by the issuing banks on maturity is not probable.

As at 30 June 2021, the Group’s maximum exposure to loss and undiscounted cash outflow, which is same as the amounts payable by the Group to banks or suppliers in respect of the discounted bills and endorsed bills, should the issuing banks fail to settle the bills on maturity date, amounted to RMB176,380,000 and RMB279,109,000 (31 December 2020: RMB338,373,000 and RMB286,970,000) respectively.

17 Reserves (continued)

Notes:

(a) Under PRC rules and regulations, the Company and its PRC subsidiaries are required to set aside 10% of the net income determined in accordance with the PRC accounting rules and regulations to a legal surplus reserve. The transfer to this reserve must be made before distribution of any dividend to shareholders.

The legal surplus reserve is non-distributable other than in liquidation and can be used to make good of previous years’ losses, if any, and may be utilised for business expansion or converted into ordinary shares by the issuance of new shares to shareholders in proportion to their existing shareholdings or by increasing the par value of the shares currently held by the shareholders, provided that the balance after such issuance is not less than 25% of the registered capital.

In accordance with PRC rules and regulations, the Company has set aside RMB6,372,748,000 of legal surplus as of 30 June 2021.

(b) This reserve represents gifts or grants received from China Petrochemical Corporation, the ultimate parent company and which are required to be included in this reserve fund by PRC regulations.

(c) The transfer to this reserve from the retained profits is subject to the approval by shareholders at general meetings. Its usage is similar to that of legal surplus reserve.

(d) Other reserve comprises share of post-acquisition movements in other comprehensive income from associates and joint ventures using the equity methods of accounting with a corresponding adjustment to the carrying amount of the investment.

(e) The application of the share premium account is governed by Sections 167 and 168 of the PRC Company Law.

(f) According to the relevant PRC regulations, the Group is required to transfer an amount to specific reserve for the safety production fund based on the turnover of certain refining and chemicals products. This reserve represents unutilised safety production fund.

(g) According to the Company’s Articles of Association, the reserve available for distribution is the lower of the amount determined under China Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises and the amount determined under IFRS. The Board of Directors did not propose any dividend in respect of the six months ended 30 June 2021 (six months ended 30 June 2020: Nil).

18 Fair value measurement of financial instruments

The table below analyses the Group’s financial instruments carried at fair value as at 30 June 2021 and 31 December 2020 by level of the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. Such inputs are categorised into three levels within a fair value hierarchy as follows:

• The fair value of financial instruments traded in active markets (such as publicly traded derivatives and equity securities) is based on quoted market prices at the end of the reporting period. The quoted marked price used for financial assets held by the Group is the current bid price. These instruments are included in level 1.

• The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market (for example, over–the–counter derivatives) is determined using valuation techniques which maximise the use of observable market data and rely as little as possible on entity-specific estimates. If all significant inputs required to fair value an instrument are observable, the instrument is included in level 2.

• If one or more of the significant inputs is not based on observable market data, the instrument is included in level 3. This is the case for unlisted equity securities.

Valuation techniques and inputs used in Level 2 fair value measurements

The fair value of commodity swaps contract is the estimated amount that the Group would receive or pay to terminate the swap at the end of the reporting period, taking into account the current interest rates and the current creditworthiness of the swap counterparties.

(Expressed in Renminbi Yuan unless otherwise indicated)

18 Fair value measurement of financial instruments (continued)

Valuation techniques and inputs used in Level 2 fair value measurements (continued)

The fair value of trade and bills receivable is estimated as the present value of the future cash flows, discounted at the market interest rates at the balance sheet date.

The Group uses discounted cash flow model with inputted interest rate, which were influenced by historical fluctuation and the probability of market fluctuation, to evaluate the fair value of the structured deposits classified as Level 3 financial assets.

During the six month period ended 30 June 2021, there were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2, or transfers into or out of Level 3. The Group’s policy is to recognise transfers between levels of fair value hierarchy as at the end of the reporting period in which they occur.

Financial assets and financial liabilities not measured at fair value mainly represent trade receivables, other receivables, amounts due from related parties excluded prepayments, trade payables, amounts due to related parties, other payables (except for the staff salaries and welfare payables and taxes payables), borrowings and short-term bonds. The carrying amounts of these financial assets and liabilities not measured at fair value are a reasonable approximation of their fair value.

Derivatives are only used for economic hedging purposes and not as speculative investments.

However, where derivatives do not meet the hedge accounting criteria, they are classified as ‘held for trading’ for accounting purposes and are accounted for at fair value through profit or loss. They are presented as current assets or liabilities to the extent they are expected to be settled within 12 months after the end of the reporting period.

	2021 RMB’000			2020 RMB’000
Net (losses)/gains on foreign exchange options and forward exchange contracts not qualifying as hedges included in other gains - net		(151	)		1,275

Hedge effectiveness

Hedge effectiveness is determined at the inception of the hedge relationship, and through periodic prospective effectiveness assessments, to ensure that an economic relationship exists between the hedged item and hedging instrument.

The Group enters into commodity swaps contracts that have similar critical terms as the hedged item, such as reference rate, payment dates, transaction price, crude oil variety and crude oil quantity.

Hedge ineffectiveness for commodity swaps contracts may occur due to the changes in the timing of the hedged transactions. There was no recognised ineffectiveness during the six months ended 30 June 2021 in relation to the commodity swaps.

Review Report

畢馬威華振專字第2101212號

To the Shareholders of Sinopec Shanghai Petrochemical Company Limited,

We have reviewed the accompanying interim financial statements of Sinopec Shanghai Petrochemical Company Limited (hereinafter “SPC”), which comprise the consolidated and company balance sheets as at 30 June 2021, and the consolidated and company income statements, the consolidated and company cash flow statements and the consolidated and company statements of changes in shareholders’ equity for the period from 1 January 2021 to 30 June 2021, and the notes to the financial statements. Management of SPC is responsible for the preparation of these financial statements in accordance with the requirements of Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises. Our responsibility is to issue a report on these financial statements based on our review.

We conducted our review in accordance with China Standard on Review No. 2101— Engagements to Review Financial Statements. This standard requires that we plan and perform the review to obtain limited assurance as to whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. A review is limited primarily to inquiries of SPC personnel and analytical procedures applied to financial data and thus provides less assurance than an audit. We have not performed an audit and, accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the interim financial statements are not prepared in accordance with the requirements of Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises issued by the Ministry of Finance of the People’s Republic of China, and cannot present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated and the company’s financial position of SPC as at 30 June 2021, and their financial performance and cash flows for the period from 1 January 2021 to 30 June 2021 in accordance with the requirements of Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises.

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

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

5 Accounting treatments for business combinations involving entities under common control and not under common control (continued)

When the set of assets the group acquired does not constitute a business, acquisition costs should be allocated to each identifiable assets and liabilities at their acquisition-date fair values. It is not required to apply the accounting of business combination described as below.

(1) Business combinations involving entities under common control

A business combination involving entities under common control is a business combination in which all of the combining entities are ultimately controlled by the same party or parties both before and after the business combination, and that control is not transitory. The assets acquired and liabilities assumed are measured based on their carrying amounts in the consolidated financial statements of the ultimate controlling party at the combination date. The difference between the carrying amount of the net assets acquired and the consideration paid for the combination (or the total par value of shares issued) is adjusted against share premium in the capital reserve, with any excess adjusted against retained earnings. Any costs 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 other combining entities. Transaction costs associated with the issue of equity or debt securities for the business combination are included in the initially recognised amounts of the equity or debt securities.

(2) Business combinations involving entities not under common control

A business combination involving entities not under common control is a business combination in which all of the combining entities are not ultimately controlled by the same party or parties both before and after the business combination. Where (1) the aggregate of the acquisition-date fair value of assets transferred (including the acquirer’s previously held equity interest in the acquiree), liabilities incurred or assumed, and equity securities issued by the acquirer, in exchange for control of the acquiree, exceeds (2) the acquirer’s interest in the acquisition-date fair value of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets, the difference is recognised as goodwill. If (1) is less than (2), the difference is recognised in profit or loss for the current period. The costs of issuing equity or debt securities as a part of the consideration for the acquisition are included in the carrying amounts of these equity or debt securities upon initial recognition. Acquisition-related costs are expensed when incurred. Any difference between the fair value and the carrying amount of the assets transferred as consideration is recognised in profit or loss. The acquiree’s identifiable asset, liabilities and contingent liabilities, if the recognition 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 in stages, the Group remeasures its previously-held equity interest in the acquiree to its acquisition-date fair value and recognises any resulting difference between the fair value and the carrying amount as investment income or other comprehensive income for the current period. In addition, any amount recognised in other comprehensive income and other changes in the owners’ equity under equity accounting in prior reporting periods relating to the previously-held equity interest that may be reclassified to profit or loss are transferred to investment income at the date of acquisition; Any previously-held equity interest that is designated as equity investment at fair value through other comprehensive income, the other comprehensive income recognised in prior reporting periods is transferred to retained earnings and surplus reserve at the date of acquisition.

III. Summary of significant accounting policies and accounting estimates (continued)

6 Consolidated financial statements

(1) General principles

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

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

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

When the accounting period or accounting policies of a subsidiary are different from those of the Company, the Company makes necessary adjustments to the financial statements of the subsidiary 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-group transactions, are eliminated when preparing the consolidated financial statements. Unrealised losses resulting from intra-group transactions are eliminated in the same way as unrealised gains, unless they represent impairment losses that are recognised in the financial statements. Unrealized profits and losses resulting from the sale of assets by a subsidiary to the Company are eliminated and allocated between net profit attributable to owners of the parent and non-controlling interests in accordance with the allocation proportion of the parent in the subsidiary. Unrealized profits and losses resulting from the sale of assets by one subsidiary to another are eliminated and allocated between net profit attributable to owners of the parent and non-controlling interests in accordance with the allocation proportion of the parent in the subsidiary. If the accounting treatment of a transaction which considers the Group as an accounting entity is different from that considers the Company or its subsidiaries as an accounting entity, it is adjusted from the perspective of the Group.

(2) Subsidiaries acquired through a business combination

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

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

(3) Disposal of subsidiaries

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

When the Group loses control of a subsidiary in multiple transactions in which it disposes of its long-term equity investment in the subsidiary in stages, the following are considered to determine whether the Group should account for the multiple transactions as a bundled transaction:

• 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 other arrangement;

• one arrangement considered on its own is not economically justified, but it is economically justified when considered together with other arrangements.

If each of the multiple transactions does not form part of a bundled transaction, the transactions conducted before the loss of control of the subsidiary are accounted for in accordance with the accounting policy for partial disposal of equity investment in subsidiaries where control is retained (see Note III.6(4)).

If each of the multiple transactions forms part of a bundled transaction which eventually results in the loss of control in the subsidiary, these multiple transactions are accounted for as a single transaction. In the consolidated financial statements, the difference between the consideration received and the corresponding proportion of the subsidiary’s net assets (calculated continuously from the acquisition date) in each transaction prior to the loss of control shall be recognised in other comprehensive income and transferred to profit or loss when 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-controlling shareholders or disposes of a portion of an interest in a subsidiary without a change in control, the difference between the proportion interests of the subsidiary’s net assets being acquired or disposed and the amount of the consideration paid or received is adjusted to the capital reserve (share premium) in the consolidated balance sheet, with any excess adjusted to retained earnings.

7 Cash and cash equivalents

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

8 Foreign currency transactions and translation of foreign currency financial statements

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

Monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are translated to Renminbi at the spot exchange rate at the balance sheet date. The resulting exchange differences are generally recognised in profit or loss, unless they arise from the re-translation of the principal and interest of specific borrowings for the acquisition of qualifying assets (see Note III.15). Non-monetary items that are measured at historical cost in foreign currencies are translated to Renminbi using the exchange rate at the transaction date. Effect of foreign exchange rate changes on cash is presented separately in the cash flow statement.

9 Financial instruments

Financial instruments include cash at bank and on hand, account 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 Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of a financial instrument.

A financial or financial liability is measured initially at fair value. For financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, any related directly attributable transaction costs are 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 trade receivable, without significant financing component or practical expedient applied for one year or less contracts, is initially measured at the transaction price in accordance with Note III.21.

(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 which a financial asset is managed and its contractual cash flow characteristics. On initial recognition, a financial asset is classified as measured at amortised cost, at fair value through other comprehensive income (“FVOCI”), or at fair value through profit or loss (“FVTPL”).

Financial assets are not reclassified subsequent to their initial recognition unless the Group changes its business model for managing financial assets in which case all affected financial assets are reclassified on the first day of the first reporting period following the change in the business model.

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

(a) Classification of financial assets (continued)

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

• it is held within a business model whose objective is achieved by both collecting contractual cash flows and selling financial assets; and

• its contractual terms give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.

On initial recognition of an equity investment that is not held for trading, the Group may irrevocably elect to present subsequent changes in the investment’s fair value in other comprehensive income, and listed them as other equity instrument investments. This election is made on an investment-by-investment basis. The instrument meets the definition of equity from the perspective of the issuer. The relevant dividend income of such financial assets is included in the current profit and loss.

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

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

In assessing whether the contractual cash flows are solely payments of principal and interest, the Group considers the contractual terms of the instrument. For the purposes of this assessment, ‘principal’ is defined as the fair value of the financial asset on initial recognition. ‘Interest’ is defined as consideration for the time value of money and for the credit risk associated with the principal amount outstanding during a particular period 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 that could change the timing or amount of contractual cash flows such that it would not meet this condition.

(b) Subsequent measurement of financial assets

• Financial assets at FVTPL

These financial assets are subsequently measured at fair value. Net gains and losses, including any interest or dividend income, are recognised in profit or loss unless the financial assets are part of a hedging relationship. Those maturing more than one year from the balance sheet date and expected to be held for more than one year shall be listed as other non-current financial assets, while the rest shall be listed as trading financial assets.

• Financial assets at amortised cost

These assets are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. A gain or loss on a financial asset that is measured at amortised cost and is not part of a hedging relationship shall be recognised in profit or loss when the financial asset is derecognised, reclassified, through the amortisation process or in order to recognize impairment gains or losses. Such financial assets mainly include cash at bank and on hand, accounts receivable, other receivables and investments in debt securities, etc. The Group shall list the investments in debt securities that is due within one year (including one year) from the date of balance sheet as non-current assets that are due within one year; The investments in debt securities that is due within one year (including one year) at the time of acquisition is listed as other current assets. The investments in debt securities that is due more than one year from the date of balance sheet is listed as other non-current assets.

• Debt investments at FVOCI

These assets are subsequently measured at fair value. Interest income calculated using the effective interest method, impairment and foreign exchange gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss. Other net gains and losses are recognised in other comprehensive income. On derecognition, gains and losses accumulated in other comprehensive income are reclassified to profit or loss. Such financial assets are listed as Receivables under financing, other investments in debt securities, and other investments in debt securities that are due within one year (including one year) from the date of balance sheet are listed as non-current assets that are due within one year; Other investments in debt securities with a maturity of one year (including one year) at the time of acquisition are listed as other current assets.

• Equity investments at FVOCI

These assets are subsequently measured at fair value. Dividends are recognised as income in profit or loss. Other net gains and losses are recognised in other comprehensive income. On derecognition, gains and losses accumulated in other comprehensive 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.

• Financial liabilities at FVTPL

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

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

• Financial liabilities at amortised cost

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

The financial liabilities of the Group are mainly financial liabilities measured by amortized cost, including bills payable and accounts payable, other payables, loans, etc. Such financial liabilities are initially measured according to their fair value after deducting transaction costs and are subsequently measured by the effective interest rate method. Where the term is less than one year (including one year), it shall be listed as current liabilities; If the term is more than one year, but the term is due within one year (including one year) from the balance sheet date, it shall be listed as non-current liabilities that are due within one year; The rest are shown as non-current liabilities.

(4) Offsetting

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

• 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, the difference 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 recognized 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. The difference between the carrying amount of the part to be recognised and the consideration paid shall be recorded into the profit and loss of the current period.

Measurement of ECLs

ECLs are a probability-weighted estimate of credit losses. Credit losses are measured as the present value of all cash shortfalls (i.e. the difference between the cash flows due to the entity 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 life of a financial instrument.

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

Loss allowances for trade receivables and contract assets are always measured at an amount equal to lifetime ECL. ECLs on these financial assets are estimated 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 current and forecast general economic conditions at the balance sheet date.

Except for trade receivables and contract assets, the Group measures loss allowance at an amount equal to 12-month ECL for the following financial instruments, and at an amount equal to lifetime ECL 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.

Financial instruments that have low credit risk

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

Significant increases in credit risk

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

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

• failure to make payments of principal or 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 significant increase in credit risk is performed on either an individual basis or a collective basis. When the assessment is performed on a collective basis, the financial instruments are grouped based 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 is more than 30 days past due.

(6) Impairment (continued)

Credit-impaired financial assets

At each balance sheet date, the Group assesses whether financial assets carried at amortised 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 estimated future cash flows of the financial asset have occurred. Evidence that a financial asset is credit-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, the Group 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 financial difficulties.

Presentation of allowance for ECL

ECLs are remeasured at each balance sheet date to reflect changes in the financial instrument’s credit risk since initial recognition. Any change in the ECL amount is recognised as an impairment gain or loss in profit or loss. The Group recognises an impairment gain or loss for all financial instruments with a corresponding adjustment to their carrying amount through 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 the extent that there is no realistic prospect of recovery. A write-off constitutes a derecognition event. This is generally the case when the Group determines that the debtor does not have assets or sources of income that could generate sufficient cash flows to repay the amounts subject to the write-off. However, financial assets that are written off could still be subject to enforcement activities in order to comply with the Group’s procedures for recovery of amounts due.

Subsequent recoveries of an asset that was previously written off are recognised as a reversal 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 costs is recognised in shareholders’ equity. Consideration and transaction costs paid by the Company for repurchasing self-issued equity instruments are deducted from shareholders’ equity.

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

When treasury shares are cancelled, the share capital should be reduced to the extent of the total par value of the treasury shares cancelled. Where the cost of the treasury shares cancelled exceeds the total par value, the excess is deducted from capital reserve (share premium), surplus reserve and retained earnings sequentially. If the cost of treasury shares cancelled is less than the total par value, the difference is credited to the capital reserve (share premium).

When treasury shares are disposed of, any excess of proceeds above cost is recognised in capital reserve (share premium); otherwise, the shortfall is deducted against capital reserve (share premium), surplus reserve and retained earnings sequentially.

10 Inventories

(1) Classification and cost

Inventories include raw materials, work in progress, semi-finished goods, finished goods and reusable materials. Reusable materials include low-value consumables, packaging materials and other materials, which can be used repeatedly but do not meet the definition of fixed assets.

Inventories are initially measured at cost. Cost of inventories comprises all costs of purchase, costs of conversion and other expenditure incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition. In addition to the purchase cost of raw materials, work in progress and finished goods include direct labour costs and an appropriate allocation of production overheads.

(2) Measurement method of cost of inventories

Cost of inventories recognised is calculated using the weighted average method.

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

(3) Basis for determining the net realisable value and method for provision for obsolete inventories

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

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

Any excess of the cost over the net realisable value of each item of inventories is recognised as a provision for obsolete inventories, and is recognised in profit or loss.

(4) Inventory count system

The Group maintains a perpetual inventory system.

11 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 business combination involving entities under common control is the Company’s share of the carrying amount of the subsidiary’s equity in the consolidated financial statements of the ultimate controlling party at the combination date. The difference between the initial investment cost and the carrying amount of the consideration given is adjusted to the share premium in the capital reserve, with any excess adjusted to retained earnings. For a long-term equity investment in a subsidiary acquired through a business combination achieved in stages which do not form a bundled transaction and involving entities under common control, the Company determines the initial cost of the investment in accordance with the above policies. The difference between this initial cost and the sum of the carrying amount of previously-held investment and the consideration paid for the shares newly acquired is adjusted to capital premium in the capital reserve, with any excess adjusted to retained earnings.

• For a long-term equity investment obtained through a business combination not involving entities under common control, the initial cost comprises the aggregate of the fair value of assets transferred, liabilities incurred or assumed, and equity securities issued by the Company, in exchange for control of the acquiree. For a long-term equity investment obtained through a business combination not involving entities under common control and achieved through multiple transactions in stages which do not form a bundled transaction, the initial cost comprises the carrying amount of the previously-held equity investment in the acquiree immediately before the 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 combination is initially recognised at the amount of cash paid if the Group acquires the investment by cash, or at the fair value of the equity securities issued if an investment is acquired by issuing equity securities.

Except for cash dividends or profit distributions declared but not yet distributed that have been included in the price or consideration paid in obtaining the investments, the Company recognises its share of the cash dividends or profit distributions declared by the investee as investment income for the current period.

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

For the impairment of the investments in subsidiaries, refer to Note III.18.

In the Group’s consolidated financial statements, subsidiaries are accounted for in accordance with the policies described in Note III.6.

(b) Investment in joint ventures and associates

A joint venture is an arrangement whereby the Group and other parties have joint control (see Note III.11(3)) and rights to the net assets of the arrangement.

An associate is an entity over which the Group has significant influence (see Note III.11(3)).

An investment in a joint venture or an associate is accounted for using the equity method for subsequent measurement, unless the investment is classified as held for sale (see Note III.28).

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

• Where the initial cost of a long-term equity investment exceeds the Group’s interest in the fair value of the investee’s identifiable net assets at the date of acquisition, the investment is initially recognised at cost. Where the initial investment cost is less than the Group’s interest in the fair value of the investee’s identifiable net assets at the date of acquisition, the investment is initially recognised at the investor’s share of the fair value of the investee’s identifiable net assets, and the difference is recognised in profit or loss.

• After the acquisition of the investment, the Group recognises its share of the investee’s profit or loss and other comprehensive income as investment income or losses and other comprehensive income respectively, and adjusts the carrying amount of the investment accordingly. Once the investee declares any cash dividends or profit distributions, the carrying amount of the investment is reduced by the amount attributable to the Group. Changes in the Group’s share of the investee’s owners’ equity, other than those arising from the investee’s net profit or loss, other comprehensive income or profit distribution (referred to as “other changes in owners’ equity”), is recognised directly in the Group’s equity, and the carrying amount of the investment is adjusted accordingly.

(2) Subsequent measurement of long-term equity investment (continued)

(b) Investment in joint ventures and associates (continued)

• In calculating its share of the investee’s net profits or losses, other comprehensive income and other changes in owners’ equity, the Group recognises investment income and other comprehensive income after making appropriate adjustments to align the accounting policies or accounting periods with those of the Group based on the 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 its associates or joint ventures are eliminated to the extent of the Group’s interest in the associates or joint ventures. Unrealised losses resulting from transactions between the Group and its associates or joint ventures are eliminated in the same way as unrealised gains but only to the extent that there is no impairment.

• The Group discontinues recognising its share of further losses of the investee after the carrying amount of the long-term equity investment and any long-term interest that in substance forms part of the Group’s net investment in the joint venture or associate is reduced to zero, except to the extent that the Group has an obligation to assume additional losses. However, if the Group has obligations for additional losses and the criteria with respect to recognition of provisions under the accounting standards on contingencies are satisfied, the Group continues recognising the investment losses and the provisions. If the joint venture or associate subsequently reports net profits, the Group resumes recognising its share of those profits only after its share of the profits has fully covered the share of losses not recognised.

For the impairment of the investments in joint ventures and associates, refer to Note III.18.

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

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

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

• Whether no single participant party is in a position to control the investee’s related activities unilaterally;

• Whether strategic decisions relating to the investee’s related activities require the unanimous consent of all participant parties that sharing of control.

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

12 Investment properties

Investment properties are properties held either to earn rental income or for capital appreciation or for both. Investment properties are accounted for using the cost model and stated in the balance sheet at cost less accumulated depreciation, amortisation and impairment losses. The cost of investment property, less its estimated residual value and accumulated impairment losses, is depreciated or amortised using the straight-line method over its estimated useful life, unless the investment property is classified as held for sale (see Note III.28). For the impairment of the investment properties, refer to Note III.18.

Class	Estimated useful life (years)		Residual value rate (%)		Depreciation rate (%)
Plant and buildings		30-40 years		3%		2.4%-3.2%

When an investment property is transferred to owner-occupied properties, it is reclassified as fixed asset or intangible asset at the date of the transfer. When an owner-occupied property is transferred out for earning rentals or for capital appreciation, the fixed asset or intangible asset is reclassified as investment properties at its carrying amount at the date of the transfer.

The investment property’s estimated useful life, net residual value and depreciation method applied are reviewed and adjusted as appropriate at each year-end.

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

13 Fixed assets

(1) Recognition of fixed assets

Fixed assets represent the tangible assets held by the Group for use in production of goods or for administrative purposes with useful lives over one accounting year.

The cost of a purchased fixed asset comprises the purchase price, related taxes, and any directly attributable expenditure for bringing the asset to working condition for its intended use. The cost of self-constructed assets is measured in accordance with the policy set out in Note III.14. The fixed assets injected by the state-owned shareholder during the restructuring were initially recorded at the valuated amount approved by the relevant authorities managing state-owned assets.

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

Any subsequent costs including the cost of replacing part of an item of fixed assets are recognised as assets when it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the costs 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 as incurred.

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

(2) Depreciation of fixed assets

The cost of a fixed asset, less its estimated residual value and accumulated impairment losses, is depreciated using the straight-line method over its estimated useful life, unless the fixed asset is classified as held for sale (see Note III.28).

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

Class	Estimated useful life (years)		Residual value rate (%)		Depreciation rate (%)
Buildings		12~40 years		0%~5%		2.4%~8.3%
Plant and machinery		5~20 years		0%~5%		4.8%~20.0%
Vehicles and other equipment		4~20 years		0%~5%		4.8%~25.0%

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

(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 are determined as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the item, and are recognised in profit or loss on the date of retirement or disposal.

14 Construction in progress

The cost of self-constructed assets includes the cost of materials, direct labour, capitalised borrowing costs (see Note III.15), and any other costs directly attributable to bringing the asset to working condition for its intended use.

A self-constructed asset is classified as construction in progress and transferred to fixed asset when it is ready for its intended use, and depreciation begins from the following month. No depreciation is provided against construction in progress.

Construction in progress is stated in the balance sheet at cost less accumulated impairment losses (see Note III.18).

15 Borrowing costs

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

During the capitalisation period, the amount of interest (including amortisation of any discount or premium on borrowing) to be capitalised in each accounting period is determined as 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 expense calculated using effective interest rates during the period less any interest income earned from depositing the borrowed funds or any investment income on the temporary investment of those funds before being used on the asset.

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

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

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

The capitalisation period is the period from the date of commencement of capitalisation of borrowing costs to the date of cessation of capitalisation, excluding any period over which capitalisation is suspended. Capitalisation of borrowing costs commences when expenditure for the asset is being incurred, borrowing costs are being incurred and activities of acquisition and construction that are necessary to prepare the asset for its intended use are in progress, and ceases when the assets become ready for their intended use. Capitalisation of borrowing costs is suspended when the acquisition and construction activities are interrupted abnormally for a period of more than three months.

16 Intangible assets

Intangible assets are stated in the balance sheet at cost less accumulated amortisation (where the estimated useful life is finite) and impairment losses (see Note III.18). For an intangible asset with finite useful life, its cost less estimated residual value and accumulated impairment losses is amortised using the straight-line method over its estimated useful life, unless the intangible asset is classified as held for sale (see Note III.28). The intangible assets injected by the state-owned shareholder during the restructuring were initially recorded at the valuated amount approved by the relevant authorities managing state-owned assets.

The respective amortisation periods for intangible assets are as follows:

Item	Amortisation period (years)
Land-use right		20-50 years
Patent/Proprietary technology		10-28 years
Other intangible assets		2-10 years

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

An intangible asset is regarded as having an indefinite useful life and is not amortised when there is no foreseeable limit to the period over which the asset is expected to generate economic benefits for the Group. At the balance sheet date, the Group does not have any intangible assets with indefinite useful lives.

Expenditure on an internal research and development project is classified into expenditure incurred during the research phase and expenditure incurred during the development phase.

Expenditure during the research phase is expensed when incurred. Expenditure during the development phase is capitalised if development costs can be measured reliably, the product or process is technically and commercially feasible, and the Group intends to and has sufficient resources to complete the development. Capitalised development costs are stated in the balance sheet at cost less impairment losses (see Note III.18). Other development expenditure is recognised as an expense in the period in which it is incurred.

17 Long-term deferred expenses

Long-term prepaid expenses mainly include the catalyst expenditures, leasehold improvements and other expenditures that have been incurred but should be recognised as expenses over more than one year in the current and subsequent periods.

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

Item	Amortisation period
Catalysts		1-8 years
Leasehold improvements		15-27 years

18 Impairment of assets other than inventories and financial assets

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

• fixed assets

• construction in progress

• right-of-use assets

• intangible assets

• investment properties measured using a cost model

• long-term equity investments

• long-term deferred expenses, etc.

If any indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated. In addition, the Group estimates the recoverable amounts of intangible assets not ready for use at least annually at each year-end, irrespective of whether there is any indication of impairment.

The recoverable amount of an asset (or asset group, set of asset groups) is the higher of its fair value (see Note III.19) less costs to sell and its present value of expected future cash flows.

18 Impairment of assets other than inventories and financial assets (continued)

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

The present value of expected future cash flows of an asset is determined by discounting the future cash flows, estimated to be derived from continuing use of the asset and from its ultimate 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 is less than its carrying amount. A provision for impairment of the asset is recognised accordingly. Impairment losses related to an asset group or a set of asset groups are allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the asset group or set of asset groups, and then to reduce the carrying amount of the other assets in the asset group or set of asset groups on a pro rata basis. However, such allocation would not reduce the carrying amount of an asset below the highest of its fair value less costs to sell (if measurable), its present value of expected future cash flows (if determinable) and zero.

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

19 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 in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.

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

20 Provisions

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

A provision is initially measured at the best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the related present obligation. Where the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows. The increase in the discounted amount of the provision arising from passage of time is recognised as interest expense. Factors pertaining to a contingency such as the risks, uncertainties and time value of money are taken into account as a whole in reaching the best estimate. Where there is a continuous range of possible outcomes for the expenditure required, and each possible outcome in that range is as likely as any other, the best estimate is the mid-point of that range. In other cases, the best estimate is determined according to the following circumstances:

• Where the contingency involves a single item, the best estimate is the most likely outcome.

• 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 amount of a provision at the balance sheet date and adjusts the carrying amount to the current best estimate. The estimated liabilities expected to be paid within one year from the balance sheet date are listed as current liabilities.

21 Revenue recognition

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

Revenue is recognised when the Group satisfies the performance obligation in the contract by 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 each performance obligation in the contract and allocates the transaction price in proportion to those stand-alone selling prices. The Group recognises as revenue the amount of the transaction price that is allocated to each performance obligation. The stand-alone selling price is the price at which the Group would sell a promised good or service separately to a customer. If a stand-alone selling price is not directly observable, the Group considers all information that is reasonably available to the entity, maximises the use of observable inputs to estimate the stand-alone selling price.

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

The transaction price is the amount of consideration to which the Group expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring promised goods or services to a customer, excluding amounts collected on behalf of third parties. The Group recognises the transaction price only to the extent that it is highly probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognised will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is subsequently resolved. Where the contract contains a significant financing component, the Group recognises the transaction price at an amount that reflects the price that a customer would have paid for the promised goods or services if the customer had paid cash for those goods or services when (or as) they transfer to the customer. The difference between the amount of promised consideration and the cash selling price is amortised using an effective interest method over the contract term. The Group does not adjust the consideration for any effects of a significant financing component if it expects, at contract inception, that the period between when the Group transfers a promised good or service to a customer and when the customer pays for that good or service will be one year or less.

21 Revenue recognition (continued)

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’s performance 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 the Group has an enforceable right to payment for performance completed to date.

For performance obligation satisfied over time, the Group recognises revenue over time by measuring the progress towards complete satisfaction of that performance obligation. When the outcome of that performance obligation cannot be measured reasonably, but the Group expects to recover the costs incurred in satisfying the performance obligation, the Group recognises revenue only to the extent of the costs incurred until such time that it can reasonably measure the outcome of the performance obligation.

For performance obligation satisfied at a point in time, the Group recognises revenue at the point in time at which the customer obtains control of relevant goods or services. To determine whether a customer has obtained control of goods or services, the Group considers 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 of ownership of the goods to the customer; and

• the customer has accepted the goods or services.

The Group determines whether it is a principal or an agent, depending on whether it obtains control of the specified good or service before that good or service is transferred to a customer. The Group is a principal if it controls the specified good or service before that good or service is transferred to a customer, and recognises revenue in the gross amount of consideration to which it has received (or receivable). Otherwise, the Group is an agent, and recognises revenue in the amount of any fee or commission to which it expects to be entitled. The fee or commission is the net amount of consideration that the Group retains after paying the other party the consideration, or is the established amount or proportion.

21 Revenue recognition (continued)

A contract asset is the Group’s right to consideration in exchange for goods or services that it has transferred to a customer when that right is conditional on something other than the passage of time. The Group recognises loss allowances for expected credit loss on contract assets (see Note III.9(6)). Accounts receivable is the Group’s right to consideration that is unconditional (only the passage of time is required). A contract liability is the Group’s obligation to transfer goods or services to a customer for which the Group has received consideration (or an amount of consideration is due) from the customer.

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

(1) Sale of goods

Revenue from sale is recognised when all of the general conditions stated above and the following conditions are satisfied: the significant risks and rewards of ownership of goods have been transferred to the buyer, as well as the Group retains neither continuing managerial involvement to the degree usually associated with ownership nor effective control over the goods sold. The Group recognises revenue when goods are sent to designated place or customer take delivery of the goods from Group’s designated warehouse, and confirmed receipt by customers according to the terms of contract.

The Group provides discounts based on the sales amount, and recognises revenue based on the contract value exclude expected discounts.

(2) Rendering of services

Revenue from the rendering of services is recognised using the percentage of completion method, with the stage of completion being determined based on proportion of shipping time incurred to date to the estimated total shipping time.

(3) Interest income

Interest income is calculated by the time of lending money and the actual interest rate.

22 Contract costs

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

Incremental costs of obtaining a contract are those costs that the Group incurs to obtain a contract with a customer that it would not have incurred if the contract had not been obtained (e.g. an incremental sales commission). The Group recognises as an asset the incremental costs of obtaining a contract with a customer if it expects to recover those costs. Other costs of 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 other accounting standards, the Group recognises an asset from the costs incurred to fulfil a contract only if those costs meet all of the following criteria:

• the costs relate directly to an existing contract or to a specifically identifiable anticipated contract, including direct labour, direct materials, allocations of overheads (or similar costs), costs that are explicitly chargeable to the customer and other costs that are incurred only because the Group entered into the contract

• the costs generate or enhance resources of the Group that will be used in satisfying (or in continuing 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 for the costs to fulfil a contract (the “assets related to contract costs”) are amortised on a systematic basis that is consistent with the transfer to the customer of the goods or services to which the assets relate and recognised in profit or loss for the current period. The Group recognises the incremental costs of obtaining a contract as an expense when incurred if the amortisation period of the asset that the entity otherwise would have recognised is one year or less.

The Group recognises an impairment loss in profit or loss to the extent that the carrying amount 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 been recognised as expenses.

23 Employee benefits

(1) Short-term employee benefits

Employee wages or salaries, bonuses, social security contributions such as medical insurance, work injury insurance, maternity insurance and housing fund, measured at the amount incurred or accrued at the applicable benchmarks and rates, are recognised as a liability as the employee provides services, with a corresponding charge to profit or loss or included in the cost of assets where appropriate. Employee benefits which are non-monetary benefits are measured at fair value.

(2) Post employment benefits defined contribution plans

Pursuant to the relevant laws and regulations of the People’s Republic of China, the Group participated in a defined contribution basic pension insurance plan in the social insurance system established and managed by government organisations. The Group makes contributions to basic pension insurance plans based on the applicable benchmarks and rates stipulated by the government. When employees retire, the relevant local authorities are obliged to pay the basic pensions to them. Basic pension insurance contributions payable are recognised as a liability as the employee provides services, with a corresponding charge to profit or loss or included in the cost of assets where appropriate.

(3) Termination benefits

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

• When the Group cannot unilaterally withdraw the offer of termination benefits because of an employee termination plan or a curtailment proposal;

• When the Group has a formal detailed restructuring plan involving the payment of termination benefits and has raised a valid expectation in those affected that it will carry out the restructuring by starting to implement that plan or announcing its main features to those affected by it.

Termination benefits expected to be paid in one year are listed as current liabilities.

24 Government grants

Government grants are non reciprocal transfers of monetary or non monetary assets from the government to the Group except for capital contributions from the government in the capacity as an investor in the Group. Special funds such as investment grants allocated by the government, if clearly defined in official documents as part of “capital reserve” are dealt with as capital contributions, are not regarded as government grants.

A government grant is recognised when there is reasonable assurance that the grant will be received 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 the amount 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 Group qualifying for them should purchase, construct or otherwise acquire long-term assets. Government grants related to income are grants other than those related to assets. A government grant related to an asset is offset against the carrying amount of the related asset or recognised as deferred income and amortised over the useful life of the related asset on a reasonable and systematic manner as other income or non-operating income. A grant that compensates the Group for expenses or losses to be incurred in the future is recognised as deferred income, and included in other income or non operating income offset against related expense in the periods in which the expenses or losses are recognised. Or included in other income or non-operating income offset against the related expenses directly. The Group uses the same reporting method for similar government subsidies.

Government subsidies related to daily activities are included in operating profit, while government subsidies unrelated to daily activities are included in non-operating income and expenditure.

25 Specific reserve

According to the decision of the State Council on Further Strengthening the work of production safety (Guofa No.2 2004), Shanghai Municipal Government to implement the State Council on Further Strengthening corporate safety work notice (Hufufa No.35 2010) and Safe production costs extraction and use of management practices (Caiqi No.16 2012) issued by the Ministry of Finance and the national production safety supervision administration on 2 February 2012, The Group extracted safety production costs in a certain percentage of sales revenue from the dangerous goods in previous year, which is used for safety costs.

The Group recognises a safety fund in the specific reserve pursuant to relevant government regulations, with a corresponding increase in the costs of the related products or expenses.

When the safety fund is subsequently used for revenue expenditure, the specific reserve is reduced accordingly. On utilisation of the safety fund for fixed assets, the specific reserve is reduced as the fixed assets are recognised, which is the time when the related assets are ready for their intended use; in such cases, an amount that corresponds to the reduction in the specific reserve is recognised in accumulated depreciation with respect to the related fixed assets. As a consequence, such fixed assets are not depreciated in subsequent periods.

26 Income tax

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

Current tax is the expected tax payable calculated at the applicable tax rate on taxable income 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 a legally enforceable right to set them off and also intends either to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

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

26 Income tax (continued)

Deferred tax is not recognised for the temporary differences arising from the initial recognition of assets or liabilities in a transaction that is not a business combination and that affects neither accounting profit nor taxable profit (or deductible loss). Deferred tax is not recognised for taxable temporary differences arising from the initial recognition of goodwill.

At the balance sheet date, deferred tax is measured based on the tax consequences that would follow from the expected manner of recovery or settlement of the carrying amounts of the assets and liabilities, using tax rates enacted at the balance sheet date that are expected to 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 is reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefits will be utilised. Such reduction is reversed to the extent that it becomes probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available.

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

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

• the taxable entity has a legally enforceable right to offset current tax liabilities and current tax 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 current tax 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 tax assets are expected to be settled or recovered.

27 Leases

A contract is lease if the lessor conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset to lessee 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. A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified 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, the Group assesses whether:

• the contract involves the use of an identified asset. An identified asset may be specified explicitly or implicitly specified in a contract and should be physically distinct, or capacity portion or other portion of an asset that is not physically distinct but it represents substantially all of the capacity of the asset and thereby provides the customer with the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from the use of the asset. If the supplier has a substantive substitution right throughout the period of use, then the asset is not identified;

• the lessee has the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from use of the asset 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 components, the lessee and the lessor separate 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 lessor separate lease components from non-lease components. However, for the leases of land and buildings in which it is a lessee, the Group has elected not to separate lease components from non-lease components and account for the lease and non-lease components as a single lease component. For a contract that contains lease and non-lease components, the lessee allocates the consideration in the contract to each lease component on the basis of the relative stand-alone price of the lease component and the aggregate stand-alone price of the non-lease components. The lessor allocates the consideration in the contract in accordance with the accounting policy in Note III.21.

27 Leases (continued)

(1) As a lessee

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

The right-of-use asset is depreciated using the straight-line method. If the lessee is reasonably 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 of the useful life of the right-of-use asset or the end of the lease term. Impairment losses of right-of-use assets are accounted for in accordance with the accounting policy described in Note III.18.

The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the commencement date. Lease payments include fixed payments and payments to be made if it is reasonably determined that the option to buy or to terminate the lease option will be exercised. The variable rent, which is determined by a certain percentage of sales, is not included in the lease payment and is recorded into the current profit and loss when it actually occurs. The Group will be paid from the balance sheet date within one year (including one year) of the lease liabilities, as a non-current liability due within one year. Discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that 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 period during the lease term with a corresponding charge to profit or loss or included in the cost of assets where appropriate. Variable lease payments not included in the measurement of the lease liability is charged to profit or loss or included in the cost of assets where appropriate as incurred.

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

• there is a change in the amounts expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee;

(1) As a lessee (continued)

• 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 or termination option.

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

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

(2) As a lessor

All lease contracts where the Group is a lessor are operating leases.

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

28 Assets held for sale and discontinued operations

(1) Assets held for sale

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

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

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

• According to the customary practices of selling such asset or disposal group in similar transactions, the non-current asset or disposal group must be available for immediate sale in their present condition subject to terms that are usual and customary for sales of such assets or disposal groups;

• Its sale is highly probable, that is, the Group has made a resolution on a sale plan and has obtained 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 carrying amount and fair value (see Note III.19) less costs to sell (except financial assets (see note III.9), deferred tax assets (see note III.26) and investment properties with subsequent measurement using the cost model (see Note III.12)) initially and subsequently. Any excess of the carrying amount over the fair value (see Note III.19) less costs to sell is recognised as an impairment loss in profit or loss.

The assets and liabilities in the non-current assets and disposal group held for sale are classified as current assets and current liabilities and are separately listed in the balance sheet.

The Group classifies a separate component as a discontinued operation either upon disposal of the operation or when the operation meets the criteria to be classified as held for sale if it is separately identifiable and satisfies one of the following conditions

• It represents a separate major line of business or a separate geographical area of operations;

• It is part of a single co-ordinated plan to dispose of a separate major line of business or a separate geographical area of operations;

• It is a subsidiary acquired exclusively with a view to resale.

Where an operation is classified as discontinued in the current period, profit or loss from continuing operations and profit or loss from discontinued operations are separately presented in the income statement for the current period. Profit or loss from continuing operation in the comparative income statement is re-presented as if the operation had been discontinued from the start of the comparative year.

29 Hedge accounting

Hedge accounting is a method which recognises in profit or loss (or other comprehensive income) the gain or loss on the hedging instrument and the hedged item in the same accounting period(s) to represent the effect of risk management.

Hedged items are items that expose the Group to risks of changes in fair value or cash flows and that are designated as being hedged and can be reliably measured. The Group’s hedged items include a forecast transaction that is settled with an undetermined future market price and exposes the Group to risk of variability in cash flows, etc.

A hedging instrument is a designated financial instrument whose changes in fair value or cash flows are expected to offset changes in the fair value or cash flows of the hedged item.

The Group assesses at the inception of a hedging relationship, and on an ongoing basis, whether the hedging relationship meets the hedge effectiveness requirements. A hedging relationship is regarded as having met the hedge effectiveness requirements if all of the following conditions are satisfied:

• There is an economic relationship between the hedged item and the hedging instrument.

• The effect of credit risk does not dominate the value changes that result from the economic relationship.

• The hedge ratio of the hedging relationship is the same as that resulting from the quantity of the hedged item that the entity actually hedges and the quantity of the hedging instrument that the entity actually uses to hedge that quantity of the hedged item.

When a hedging relationship no longer meets the hedge effectiveness requirements due to the hedge ratio, but the risk management objective of the designated hedging relationship remains unchanged, the Group rebalances the hedging relationship. Rebalancing refers to the adjustments made to the designated quantities of the hedged item or the hedging instrument of an already existing hedging relationship for the purpose of maintaining a hedge ratio that complies with the hedge effectiveness requirements.

29 Hedge accounting (continued)

The Group discontinues applying hedge accounting in any of the following circumstances:

• The hedging relationship no longer meets the risk management objective on the basis of which it qualified for hedge accounting.

• The hedging instrument expires or is sold, terminated or exercised.

• There is no longer an economic relationship between the hedged item and the hedging instrument or the effect of credit risk starts to dominate the value changes that result from that economic relationship.

• The hedging relationship no longer meets other criteria for applying hedge accounting.

(1) Cash flow hedges

A cash flow hedge is a hedge of the exposure to variability in cash flows. The portion of the gain or loss on a hedging instrument that is determined to be an effective hedge is recognised in other comprehensive income as a cash flow hedge reserve. The amount of the cash flow hedge reserve is adjusted to the lower of the following (in absolute amounts):

• the cumulative gain or loss on the hedging instrument from inception of the hedge;

• the cumulative change in present value of the expected future cash flows on the hedged item from inception of the hedge.

The change in the amount of the cash flow hedge reserve is recognised in other comprehensive income in each period.

The portion of the gain or loss on the hedging instrument that is determined to be ineffectiveness is recognised in profit or loss.

If a hedged forecast transaction subsequently results in the recognition of a non-financial asset or non-financial liability, or a hedged forecast transaction for a non-financial asset or non-financial liability becomes a firm commitment for which fair value hedge accounting is applied, the Group removes that amount from the cash flow hedge reserve and includes it in the initial cost or other carrying amount of the asset or liability. This is not a reclassification adjustment and will not affect other comprehensive income.

(1) Cash flow hedges (continued)

For cash flow hedges other than those covered above, that amount is reclassified from the cash flow hedge reserve to profit or loss as a reclassification adjustment in the same period or periods during which the hedged expected future cash flows affect profit or loss.

When the Group discontinues hedge accounting for a cash flow hedge, the amount of the accumulated cash flow hedge reserve recognised in other comprehensive income is accounted for as follows:

• If the hedged future cash flows are still expected to occur, that amount will remain in the cash flow hedge reserve and be accounted for in accordance with the above policy.

• If the hedged future cash flows are no longer expected to occur, that amount is immediately reclassified from the cash flow hedge reserve to profit or loss as a reclassification adjustment.

30 Profit distributions

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

31 Related parties

If a party has the power to control, jointly control or exercise significant influence over another party, or vice versa, or where two or more parties are subject to common control or joint control from another party, they are considered to be related parties. Related parties may be individuals or enterprises. Enterprises with which the Company is under common control only from the State and that have no other related party relationships are not regarded as related parties.

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

32 Segment reporting

Reportable segments are identified based on operating segments which are determined based on the structure of the Group’s internal organisation, management requirements and internal reporting system after taking the materiality principle into account. An operating segment is a component of the Group that satisfies all of the following conditions:

• the component is able to earn revenues and incur expenses from its ordinary activities

• whose operating results are regularly reviewed by the Group’s management to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and to assess its performance, and

• for which the information on financial position, operating results and cash flows is available to the Group. Two or more operating segments may be aggregated into a single operating segment if the segments have the similar economic characteristics and are same or similar in respect of the nature of each segment’s products and services, the nature of production processes, the types or classes of customers for the products and services, the methods used to distribute the products or provide the services, and the nature of the regulatory environment.

Inter-segment revenues are measured on the basis of the actual transaction prices for such transactions for segment reporting. Segment accounting policies are consistent with those for the consolidated financial statements.

33 Significant accounting estimates and judgements

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

(1) Significant accounting estimates

(a) Inventory provision

Any excess of the cost over the net realisable value of each item of inventories is recognised as a provision for diminution in the value of inventories. Net realisable value represents the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale. Management bases the estimates on all available information, including the current market prices of the finished goods and raw materials, and historical cost of sales. If the actual selling prices were to be lower or the costs of completion were to be higher than estimated, the actual allowance for diminution in value of inventories could be higher than estimated.

(b) Impairment of long-term assets

Long-term assets are reviewed for impairment at each balance sheet date when events or changes in circumstance have indicated that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable. If any such evidence indicated that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable, the carrying amounts exceed the recoverable amounts would be recognised as impairment loss and accounted in current profit or loss.

The recoverable amount of an asset (or an asset group) is the greater of its net selling price and its present value of expected future cash flows. In assessing value in use, significant judgements are exercised over the assets’ (or the asset groups’) production and sales, selling prices, related operating expenses and discount rate to calculate the present value. All relevant materials which can be obtained are used for estimation of the recoverable amount, including the estimation of the production, selling prices and related operating expenses based on reasonable and supportable assumptions.

(c) Estimated useful life and residual value of fixed assets

The Group assessed the reasonableness of estimated useful life of fixed assets in line with the historical experience on the basis of similar function or characteristic for the assets. If there are significant changes in estimated useful lives and residual value from previous years, the depreciation expenses for future periods are adjusted.

The Group reviews and adjusts the useful lives and estimated residual value of the assets regularly at the end of each year end.

(2) Significant accounting judgements

(a) Classification of financial assets

The classification depends on the Group’s business model for managing the financial assets and the contractual terms of the cash flows. The Group determines the business model of managing financial assets at the level of financial asset portfolio, taking into account such factors as the way of evaluating and reporting the performance of financial assets to key managers, the risk and management methods that affect the performance of financial assets, and the ways in which relevant business managers are paid, etc..

When the group evaluates whether the contract cash flow of financial assets is consistent with the basic lending arrangement, there are the following main judgments: whether the time distribution or amount of principal may change within the duration due to prepayment or other reasons; Does interest include only the time value of money, credit risk, other basic lending risks, and consideration of costs and profits? For example, does the prepayment amount reflect only the principal outstanding and the interest based on the principal outstanding, as well as the reasonable compensation paid for the early termination of the contract?

(b) Judgment of significant increase in credit risk

The main criteria for the Group to judge the significant increase in credit risk are the number of overdue days over 30, or the significant change in one or more of the following indicators: the operating environment of the debtor, internal and external credit rating, significant change in actual or expected operating results, the value of the collateral or the significant decline in the credit rating of the guarantor, etc.

The Group’s main criteria for judging whether credit impairment has occurred are that the overdue days exceed 90 days (i.e. default has occurred), or one or more of the following conditions are met: the debtor has major financial difficulties, other debt restructuring or is likely to go bankrupt, etc.

(i) Due to the requirement of cash management, the Group discounted and endorsed part of the bank acceptance notes.

The business model of bank acceptance notes management is for the purpose of collecting cash flow of contracts and sales. Therefore, as at 30 June 2021, the Group classified RMB707,937 thousand bills receivable to financial assets measured at fair value and whose changes are included in other comprehensive income and disclosed in bills receivable and accounts receivable (31 December 2020: RMB893,187 thousand).

(ii) The Group has no single provision for impairment of the bank acceptance notes, with all provision was accrued by their expected credit loss. As at 30 June 2021 and 31 December 2020, the Group considers that no bank acceptance notes have significant credit risk and will not suffer significant loss due to the violation of banks.

(iii) As at 30 June 2021, the Group had no pledged bank acceptance notes (31 December 2020: Nil).

(iv) As at 30 June 2021, unmatured bills receivable that have been endorsed or discounted by the Group is as follows:

	Derecognised		Not derecognised
Bank acceptance notes		455,489		—

As at 30 June 2021, the Group endorsed and discounted the undue bills receivable of RMB455,489 thousand (31 December 2020: RMB625,343 thousand). As the management considered that the risks and rewards of ownership of such unmatured bills had been substantially transferred, the Group terminated the recognition of such bills receivable, accounts payable to suppliers and short-term loans as a whole. The group’s continued involvement in the unexpired bills receivable whose overall derecognition is limited to the extent that the issuing bank is unable to settle the amount to the bill holder. The maximum possible loss of the group’s continued involvement is that the amount of outstanding bills receivable endorsed to the supplier is RMB455,489 thousand (31 December 2020: RMB625,343 thousand). The term of the outstanding bills receivable is within one year.

As part of the restructuring, the shares of the Company held by the Sinopec Group were injected in Sinopec Corp.; after the restructuring, the ownership of 4 billion state-owned shares of the Company held by the Sinopec Group were transferred to Sinopec Corp., and the shares were changed to state owned legal person shares in nature.

All the A and H shares rank pari passu in all respects.

Pursuant to the ‘Approval on matters relating to the Share Segregation Reform of Sinopec Shanghai Petrochemical Company Limited’ issued by the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission of the State Council (State Owned Property [2013] No.443), a General Meeting of A share shareholders was held on 8 July 2013 and passed the resolution of ‘Share Segregation Reform of Sinopec Shanghai Petrochemical Company Limited (Amendment)’ (“the share segregation reform resolution”) which was published by the Company on Shanghai Stock Exchange (“SSE”) website on 20 June 2013.

From 20 August 2013 (“the circulation date”), all the Company’s non-circulating A shares have been granted circulating rights on Shanghai Stock Exchange(“SSE”). As part of the restricted conditions, Sinopec Corp. committed that all the 3,640,000,000 A shares held were not allowed to be traded on SSE or transferred within 12 months from the circulation date (“the restriction period”). After the restriction period, Sinopec Corp. can only sell no more than 5 and 10 percent of its total shares within 12 and 24 months, respectively. The former 150,000,000 non-circulating A shares held by social legal persons were also prohibited to be traded on SSE or transferred within 12 months from the circulation date. Meanwhile, Sinopec Corp. also committed in the Share Segregation Reform Resolution that a scheme of converting surplus to share capital (no less than 4 shares for every 10 shares) will be proposed on the board of directors and shareholders meetings within 6 months after the circulation date.

Sinopec Corp. passed the Share Reform Commitment Scheme added up to 3,600,000 shares, after deliberation of temporary shareholders’ meeting, A share class shareholders’ meeting and H share class shareholders’ meeting.

VII. Segment information (continued)

The Group principally operates in five operating segments: petroleum products, intermediate petrochemicals, synthetic fibres, resins and plastics and trading of petrochemical products. Petroleum products, intermediate petrochemicals, synthetic fibres and resins and plastics are produced through intermediate steps from crude oil, the principal raw material. The specific products of each segment are as follows:

(i) The Group’s petroleum products segment is equipped with crude oil distillation facilities to produce qualified refined gasoline, kerosene, diesel, heavy oil and liquefied petroleum, in addition to producing feedstocks of the Group’s downstream processing facilities.

(ii) The intermediate petrochemicals segment primarily produces p-xylene, benzene and ethylene oxide. Most of the intermediate petrochemicals produced by the Group are used by the Group as raw materials in the production of other petrochemicals, resins, plastics and synthetic fibres. A portion of the intermediate petrochemicals as well as certain by-products of the production process are sold to outside customers.

(iii) The synthetic fibres segment produces primarily polyester and acrylic fibres, which are mainly used in the textile and apparel industries.

(iv) The resins and plastics segment produces primarily polyester chips, low-density polyethylene resins and films, polypropylene resins and PVA granules. The polyester chips are used to produce polyester fibres, coating and containers. Polyethylene resins and plastics are used to produce insulated cable, mulching films and moulded products such as housewares and toys. Polypropylene resins are used for films, sheets and moulded products such as housewares, toys, consumer electronics and automobile parts.

(v) The Group’s trading of petrochemical products segment primarily engages in importing and exporting of petrochemical products.

(vi) All other operating segments represent the operating segments which do not meet the quantitative threshold for determining reportable segments. These include rental, providing services and a variety of other commercial activities, which are not allocated to the above five operating segments.

Segment results, assets and liabilities include items directly attributable to a segment as well as those that can be allocated on a reasonable basis. Unallocated items mainly comprise long-term equity investments, deferred tax assets and income tax expenses, cash and cash equivalents and its related interest income, interest-bearing borrowings, and interest expenses, invest income, deferred income, other income, gains from asset disposals, non-operating income and expenses and related expenses.

X. Risk related to financial instruments

The Group’s normal course of operations expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk (primarily foreign currency risk, interest rate risk and commodity price risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. The Group’s overall risk management program focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on the Group’s financial performance.

1. Market risk

(1) Foreign currency risk

The Group’s major operational activities are carried out in Mainland China and a majority of the transactions are denominated in RMB. Nevertheless, the Group is exposed to foreign currency risk arising from the recognised assets and liabilities, and future transactions denominated in foreign currencies, primarily with respect to US dollars. The Group’s finance department at its headquarters is responsible for monitoring the amount of assets and liabilities, and transactions denominated in foreign currencies to minimise the foreign currency risk.

(1) Foreign currency risk (continued)

Therefore, the Group would sign forward exchange contracts or foreign exchange option contracts to avoid foreign exchange risks. As at 30 June 2021 and 31 December 2020, the Group has not signed any currency swaps. As at 30 June 2021 and 31 December 2020, the Group has no unexpired foreign exchange contract and foreign exchange option contract.

As at 30 June 2021 and 31 December 2020, the Group’s exposure to currency risk arising from recognised financial assets or financial liabilities denominated in foreign currencies is presented in the following tables:

USD		6.4925		6.7506		6.4601		6.5249

Assuming all other risk variables remained constant, a 5% strengthening or weaken of the Renminbi against the US dollar at 30 June 2021 would have decreased or increased the Group’s net profit by the amount of RMB1,490 thousand (31 December 2020: decreased or increased net profit by RMB2,401 thousand).

(2) Interest rate risk

The interest rate risk of the Group is mainly generated by short-term loan. Financial liabilities with floating interest rate expose the Group to cash flow interest rate risk, while financial liabilities with fixed interest rate expose the Group to cash fair value interest risk. The Group determines the appropriate weightings of fixed and floating rate contracts based on the current market conditions.

The financial department of the Group headquarters continuously monitor the interest rate level of the Group. The increase of interest rate will increase the cost of new interest-bearing debt and the interest expense of the Group’s outstanding interest-bearing debt with floating interest rate and have a significant adverse impact on the financial performance of the Group. The management makes timely adjustments according to the latest market conditions, which may be reducing interest rate risk by entering into interest rate swaps. The Group does not enter into any interest rate swap arrangement for the six months ended 30 June 2021 and 2020.

Total					847,126						5,415,080

As at 30 June 2021, if interest rates on the floating rate borrowings had risen or fallen by 100 basis points while all other variables had been held constant, the Group’s net loss would increase or decrease by approximately RMB6,345 thousand (31 December 2020: RMB40,730 thousand).

FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED 30 JUNE 2021

(All amounts in thousands of Renminbi Yuan unless otherwise stated)

X. Risk related to financial instruments (continued)

1. Market risk (continued)

(3) Commodity price risk

The Group principally engages in processing crude oil into synthetic fibers, resins and plastics, intermediate petrochemicals and petroleum products. The group is exposed to commodity price risks related to the price of crude oil, refined oil and other chemical products. The fluctuation of the price of crude oil, refined oil and other chemical products may have a significant impact on the group. The group uses derivative financial instruments such as commodity swap contracts to avoid some of these risks.

As at 30 June 2021, the Group had certain commodity contracts of crude oil designed as qualified cash flow hedges. As at 30 June 2021, the fair value of such derivative hedging financial instruments is derivative financial assets of RMB80,047 thousand (31 December 2020: Nil) and derivative financial liabilities of RMB11,075 thousand (31 December 2020: Nil).

As at 30 June 2021, it was estimated that a general increase/decrease of 10% per barrel in basic price of commodity swap contract, with all other variables held constant, would impact the fair value of derivative financial instruments, which would decrease or increase the Group’s other comprehensive income by approximately RMB32,770 thousand (31 December 2020: Nil). This sensitivity analysis above is made assuming that the changes in prices had occurred at the balance sheet date and had been applied to the Group’s derivative financial instruments at that date with exposure to commodity price risk.

2. Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk that one party to a financial instrument will cause a financial loss for the other party by failing to discharge an obligation. The Group’s credit risk is primarily attributable to cash at bank, accounts receivable, other receivables and receivables under financing, etc. As at balance sheet date, the maximum exposure to credit risk is represented by the carrying amount of financial assets in the balance sheet.

The cash at bank of the Group is mainly held with state-owned banks and other large and medium-sized listed banks with good reputation and high credit rating. Management does not foresee any significant credit risks from these deposits and does not expect that these financial institutions may default and cause losses to the Group.

The Group’s exposure to credit is influenced mainly by the individual characteristics of each customer rather than the industry or country/region in which the customers operate. Therefore, significant concentrations of credit risk primarily arise when the Group has significant exposure to individual customers. As at the balance sheet date, 62.02% (31 December 2020: 49.79%) and 93.66% (31 December 2020: 85.28%) of total accounts receivable were due from the Group’s largest and five largest customers respectively.

X. Risk related to financial instruments (continued)

2. Credit risk (continued)

In respect of receivables, the Group establishes relevant policies to control credit risk exposure. The Group assesses customers’ credit qualifications and sets corresponding credit periods based on their financial status, the possibility of obtaining guarantees from third parties, credit records and other factors such as current market conditions. The Group will regularly monitor customers’ credit records. For customers with poor credit records, the Group will use written reminders, shorten the credit period or cancel the credit period to ensure that the Group’s overall credit risk is within a controllable range.

As at 30 June 2021 and 31 December 2020, the Group has no material collateral mortgaged by the debtor or credit enhancement.

3. Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that an enterprise will encounter difficulty in meeting obligations that are settled by delivering cash or another financial asset. Cash flow forecast is performed by the operating entities of the Group and aggregated by Group finance. Group finance monitors rolling forecasts of the Group’s liquidity requirements to ensure it has sufficient cash to meet operational needs while maintaining sufficient headroom on its undrawn committed borrowing facilities from major financial institution so that the Group does not breach borrowing limits or covenants on any of its borrowing facilities to meet the short-term and long-term liquidity requirements.

As at 30 June 2021, the Group had facilities up to RMB37,710,310 thousand to issue letters of credit, of which RMB30,442,396 thousand was unutilised.                    .

The following tables set out the remaining contractual maturities at the balance sheet date of the Group’s financial liabilities, which are based on contractual undiscounted cash flows:

XII. Capital management

The Group’s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern, so that it can continue to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders and to maintain an optimal capital structure to reduce the cost of capital.

In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Group may adjust the amount of dividends paid to shareholders, return capital to shareholders, issue new shares or sell assets to reduce debt.

The Group’s total capital is calculated as ‘shareholder’s equity’ and ‘total liabilities’ as shown in the consolidated balance sheet. The Group is not subject to external mandatory capital requirements, and monitors capital on the basis of gearing ratio.

During 2021, the Group’s strategy, which was unchanged from 2020, was to maintain a reasonable range of net debt-to-capital ratio by the management.

Notes:

(1) Government grants

Under CAS, government subsidies defined as capital contributions according to the relevant government requirements are not considered a government grant, but instead should be recorded as an increase in capital reserves.

Under IFRS, such grants are offset against the cost of asset to which the grants are related. Upon transfer to property, plant and equipment, the grant is recognised as income over the useful life of the property, plant and equipment by way of a reduced depreciation charge.

(2) Safety production costs

Under CAS, safety production costs should be recognised in profit or loss with a corresponding increase in reserve according to PRC regulations. Such reserve is reduced for expenses incurred for safety production purposes or, when safety production related fixed assets are purchased, is reduced by the purchased cost with a corresponding increase in the accumulated depreciation. Such fixed assets are not depreciated thereafter. Under IFRS, expenses are recognised in profit or loss when incurred, and property, plant and equipment are depreciated with applicable methods.
