(Ⅱ) Industry Situation Description
1. Global white appliances markets: global economy went through profound adjustment,
industry growth suffered pressure in 2015 and regional differentiation was obvious.
In 2015, affected by profound adjustment of global economy, weak recovery, substantial
fluctuation in financial and commodity market, geopolitical risks, the whole global white appliances
market showed a decline trend. According to the statistics offered by Euromonitor, global retail sales of
refrigerators, washing machines and home air conditioners in 2015 respectively recorded a year-on-year
decline by 2%, 4% and 3%. For major areas, Europe, Latin America and Central & Eastern Africa
markets showed negative growth. Only America market maintained relatively rapid growth, in which,
retail sales of refrigerators, washing machines and home air conditioners respectively recorded a
year-on-year increase by 5%, 4% and 2%. Asia Pacific market overall maintained stable, and retail sales
of refrigerators, washing machines recorded a slight year-on-year increase by 2% and 1% respectively,
while retail sales of home air conditioners recorded a year-on-year decline by 3%.
2. Domestic white appliances market: affected by higher penetration rate, slow economic
growth and sluggish real estate market, white appliances sector in 2015 experienced weak growth.
(1) After over 30 years of rapid development, domestic white home appliances showed a higher
penetration rate, updating needs became dominant, the industry went into a stage of stable growth, and
the driving factor for industry growth changed from sales increase to structural improvement with
consumption upgrade. Since the macro economy entered into phase of new norm, affected by factors
including slow economic growth and sluggish real estate market in 2015, the industry showed a weak
growth. For subsectors, ①Air conditioner market experienced an extremely depressed demand due to
reasons including relatively cool summer. According to the data released by CMM, in 2015,
industry-wide retail sales and retail volume of air-conditioners decreased by 4.8% and 1.1% respectively
14 / 239
Qingdao Haier Co., Ltd. 2015 Annual Report
compared with the corresponding period of last year. For output from factories, according to the China
Industry Online data, in 2015, volume in domestic market decreased by 10.39% compared with the
corresponding period of last year. A number of reasons, such as the increasing industry-wide channel
inventory compared with 2014, sluggish demand and price competition, all substantially weakened
dealers’ willingness to restock. ②Industry-wide retail sales of refrigerators and washing machines
respectively recorded slight decline and slight growth. Benefiting from improved average price as result
of structural upgrade of products, retail sales of refrigerators and washing machines achieved better
retail sales than retail volume. According to the data released by CMM, in 2015, industry-wide retail
sales and retail volume of refrigerators decreased by 1.2% and 4.9% compared with the corresponding
period of last year, while the retail sales and retail volume of washing machines increased by 4.0% and
0.6% compared with the corresponding period of last year.
Given that the industry went through short-term weakness, to most extent, growth is driven largely
by seizing market shares, which led to increasingly tense competition, especially in mid-end and
low-end markets where the products were highly commoditized, air conditioners sector, in particular
experienced several price wars as a results of inventory building up.
(2) Domestic product mix upgraded significantly, mid-end and high-end products
maintained rapid growth. Increased percentage of update demand, life concept change brought by the
emerging middle class, increasing attention on quality, design, function, brand, all drove the
improvement of product mix with strong potential of long-term industrial upgrading. For example, in
2015, multi-door refrigerator was gaining popularity and the industry-wide retail sales of multi-door
refrigerators topped to a percentage of 27.1%, representing a year-on-year increase of 8.4 pct. pt. In
washing machine industry, front-loading and high-capacity type trend was obvious and the
industry-wide retail sales of front-loading washing machines topped to a percentage of 41.8%,
representing a year-on-year increase of 5.1 pct. pt. High-capacity inverter washing machines maintained
rapid growth. In air conditioner industry, artistic, high-efficiency and intelligent (WIFI) type trend was
obvious, such as the retail sales of artistic air conditioners topped to a percentage of 40.3%, representing
a year-on-year increase of 14 pct. pt. For the water heater sector, gas water heaters showed a relatively
favorable growth with a year-on-year increase of 13.4%.
(3) Rapid development of Internet technology led to industrial transformation and
upgrading and reestablishment of business mode. The rapid development and application of the
mobile Internet, IOT, big data, cloud platform technologies deeply changed people’s living and
consumption habit, and also would reestablish the operating mode and profit mode of white appliance
sector, and forced the corporate strategy, operation and structure to go through transformation and
upgrading. ①In respect of products, in 2015, white appliances became more intelligent. Appliance
companies strengthened the intelligence of products. More and more Internet companies provided
intelligent hardware. Cross sector cooperation became popular, and smart home appliance industry was
accelerated on base of resources integration. With the improvement of smart home appliance industry,
15 / 239
Qingdao Haier Co., Ltd. 2015 Annual Report
profit mode was expected to transform from simple hardware sales income mode to ―hardware +content
+service‖ diversified income mode, injecting new energy into the industrial development. ②For
channels, e-commerce marks the rise of multi-channel strategy, where e-commerce channel maintained
rapid growth and O2O transformation was actively promoted offline to keep up with the new era. ③For
supply chain, Made in China 2025 plan would deeply promote the extensive integration of information
and industrialization, accelerate the industry-wide transformation of smart manufacture, advance home
appliance to transform from large-scale manufacture to large-scale customization and personalized C2B
custom pattern to raise added value of products.
Industry Outlook:
In 2016, domestic white appliance industry still faces relatively high challenge, white
appliances market maintains a strong potential in structural upgrading in the middle and long
term. In 2016, the whole economy of China is going into new growth stage and structural adjustment
period, factors including high market inventory and weak demand brings challenges for the growth of
white appliance industry, while recovered sales and declined inventory in real estate market are expected
to reduce some adverse factors and promote the industry to go back to normal status.
In the medium and long term, domestic white appliances market still maintains relatively
large space in industrial upgrading. ①Domestic white appliances market keeps large potential in
structural upgrading compared with developed countries. Under the promotion of factors including
consumption concept change and resident income improvement, high-end oriented product trend
remains unchanged and the average price and added value of products are accordingly increased. ②
New business mode is expected to be established due to rapid development of smart home and increase
of maturity of relevant industry chain, bringing new growth space for the industry. ③Resident
consumption focus transforms from material to spirit, which will accelerate the release of individual and
diversified demand for products. Individual customization will raise the added value of single product.
Large-scale customization era may come and promote the improvement of industrial value. ④As
integration in the industry is accelerated, and enterprises which lack innovation and hold highly
homogenized products will be eliminated. Technologic innovation will become a core and competitive
factor. Positive leading companies obtain more shares, which will improve their influence and power
and right in the industry.
Competitiveness of Chinese leading white appliance companies in global market continues to
improve, bringing room for the development in overseas. After over 30 years of development, on
the base of large Chinese market, competitiveness of Chinese leading white appliance companies in
global market continues to improve. Excellent companies further improves their competitiveness and
industrial position through internal productiveness construction and external merger, which does good
16 / 239
Qingdao Haier Co., Ltd. 2015 Annual Report
to the global resources integration and market expansion and helps to bring room for the development
of Chinese enterprises in foreign market.

to intensively realize localization and internationalization. In 2015, the market share of Crystal roller
washing machines was improved from ―0‖ to 22% after it was launched, and became the first brand
among local washing machines.
The Company positively promoted Haier and AQUA dual-brand strategy in Japanese and Southeast
Asian markets. In the Japanese market, the shares of refrigerator and washing machine of the Company
have been ranked No. 3 and No. 4 respectively. For the market share of washing machine below 6kg, the

16% market share. DCS Dishdrawer was positioned as high-end kitchen ware and has obtained good
market performance.
The Company positively responded to the national development strategy of ―One Belt and One
Road‖. In the European market, the Company invested in the establishment of refrigerator factory in
Russia, and adopted the operation mode integrated with local design, manufacturing and sale. In Pune,
India, the Company established an industrial zone covering an area of 160,000 square meters to
accelerate the distribution in the markets of India and South Asia.
During the reporting period, the Company started to acquire GE home appliance. As the second
largest white appliance company in the US, GE home appliance has strong brand influence and higher
market share in American market. According to the statistics published by Euromonitor, in 2015, GE
home appliance ranked No. 2 among American home appliance brands with nearly 20% market share. It
was seen from product segmentation that, kitchen appliance, refrigerating product and dish-washing
machine of GE home appliance were deeply recognized and trusted by consumers; the market share of
kitchen appliances ranked No. 1 in the US; refrigerators and dish-washing machines ranked No. 2 in the
US; and washing machine ranked No. 4 in the US. This acquisition would help the Company enter and

production, R&D, procurement and supply chain, realize revenue synergies through network
complementation, sub-sector expansion, new product development and improvement of bargaining
ability, and realize cost synergies through advantage in procurement scale, improvement of quality and
productivity, to lay a solid foundation for becoming the global leader of home appliance industry in

The Company will establish the capital structure with multi-channel and multi-level to fully utilize the
financial leverage and its own funds to rationally allocate the resources.
（IV） Potential risks
1. Risk of sluggish market demand due to slowdown in growth of macro economy. As white home
appliance products fall into the category of consumer electronic products, the income level and
expectation on future income growth will have an effect on the purchase of white goods. In the event of
slowdown in the growth of the macro economy resulting in the decrease in the purchasing power of
consumers, growth of the industry will be adversely affected. In addition, uncertainties on the property
market will have some negative effect on market demand, which will in turn have some indirect demand
for home appliance products.
2. Price war risk caused by intensifying industry competition. In a long term, the market
concentration of white home appliance industry continues to rise, but in short-term, due to the
imbalance between supply and demand caused by high capacity generated from industry expansion and
decreasing of industry demand in recent years, the industry inventory amount rises, under the
background of product homogeneity, price war will become the means to drive the promotion of share
in the short term.
3. The smart trend of white home appliance will fuzzy the boundaries of industries and intensify
industry competition; Internet companies will enter into the field of smart home appliance, which will
intensify the industry competition and overturn the current profit model of the industry.
4. Risk of rise in price of raw materials. Bulk raw materials such as copper, aluminum, steel plate,
and oil-related plastic particles and foam materials account for a large proportion in the costs of white
goods production. The surge in the price of bulk raw material will increase the cost pressure, and
therefore have negative effect on the performance of enterprises.

IV. Major Opinions and Suggestions of the Special Committees of the Board in Performing their
Duties during the Reporting Period
(1) Audit Committee: during the reporting period, the Company convened 8 meetings of the
Audit Committee to consider the annual report audit-related work for three times, namely, pre-audit,
mid-audit and post audit and made relevant arrangement. The Audit Committee believed that the 2014
financial and accounting statement issued by the Company was in compliance with the requirements of
the Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises, and gave a true and fair view of the Company’s
assets and liabilities for the year ended 31 December 2014 and operating results and cash flow for the
year 2014. There was no significant unresolved disagreement between accounting and auditing. There
was no material risk affecting the Company’s operation. The Company operated prudently and would be
able to continue as a going concern. Other meetings considered the annual budget of connected
transactions, internal control self-assessment reports, profit distribution plan, appointment of accounting
firm, acquisition of assets overseas White Goods of the Group, acquisition of minority shareholder’s
interest from Mitsubishi/Carrier, and the first quarterly report, the semi-annual report and the third
quarterly report of 2015. The Audit Committee agreed the above resolutions and submitted the same to
the Board for consideration.
(2) Remuneration and Appraisal Committee: during the reporting period, the Company
convened 3 meetings of the Remuneration and Appraisal Committee to consider the grant of interest
of the reserved portion of the Phase IV Share Incentive, the first exercise/unlocking of the first grant
portion and the annual remuneration package of Directors, supervisors and senior management. The

Remuneration and Appraisal Committee agreed the above resolutions and submitted the same to the
Board for consideration.
(3) Nomination Committee: during the reporting period, the Company convened 2 meetings of

(4) Strategy Committee: during the reporting period, the Company convened 3 meetings of the
Strategy Committee to consider the plan for return of shareholders in the next three years, acquisition of
assets of overseas White Goods of the Group, trusted management assets and acquisition of minority
shareholdings from Mitsubishi/Carrier. The Strategy Committee agreed the above resolutions and
submitted the same to the Board for consideration.
V. Supervisory Committee’s Explanation on Risks about the Company
During the reporting period, the Supervisory Committee had no disagreement on any supervisory
matters.
VI. Statements of the Company on Inability to Maintain the Independence or the Ability of
Independent Operations between the Company and the Controlling Shareholders with respect to
Business, Personnel, Assets, Organization and Finance
Corresponding solutions, working progress and subsequent working plans of the Company in case of
horizontal competition
In recent years, the Company made constant efforts in optimizing connected transactions: In 2015,
the Company further reduced the number of connected transactions by acquiring overseas White Goods’
assets and setting up an independent platform for exports and sales. In 2015, the trading amount of
connected transactions regarding procurement amounted to RMB27.6 billion, which accounted for
32.8% of similar transactions, representing a year-on-year decrease of 3.8 pct. pt.; the trading amount of
connected transactions regarding sales amounted to RMB7.6 billion, which accounted for 8.4% of
similar transactions, representing a year-on-year decrease of 3.6 pct. pt. . The optimization of connected
transactions was obvious. So far, the Company continued to promote work in respect of reducing
connected transactions and solving horizontal competition according to relevant commitment set out in
the Announcement of Qingdao Haier on the further support of development of Qingdao Haier, solutions
of horizontal competition and decrease of connected transactions by controlling shareholder
(L2011-001).
108 / 239
Qingdao Haier Co., Ltd. 2015 Annual Report
VII. Establishment and Implementation of Appraisal and Incentive Mechanism for Senior
Management during the Reporting Period
In 2015, the Company adopted an overall compensation system connecting sales force with their
orders and remuneration and tied to the strategic income statement for the compensation system of the
management. This system was based on the strategic income statement and used Vertical and Horizontal
Two-dimensional Lattice Model, in which the vertical dimension reflected the strategy support and
minor self-evolvement and upgrading, while the horizontal dimension reflected the competitiveness of
market. The competitiveness of compensation was determined by such elements as ―support for
strategy‖, ―competitiveness of market target‖ and ―minor self-evolvement and upgrading‖. The senior
management receives annual appraisal, which was the key factor to performance bonus and development.
On one hand, the Company’s overall compensation system of connecting sales force with their orders
and remuneration diversified the way of salary distribution of the management, and made the
compensation mechanism for management more flexible on the other hand, which drove the innovation
of management. Meanwhile, the Company’s salary incentive system was further improved, the incentive
and restriction mechanism was strengthened and a mechanism that shares interests and risks with
shareholders and management was formulated by implementing incentive tools such as Share Option
Incentive Scheme.

5. Accounting treatments of enterprise combinations involving entities under common control
and entities not under common control
An enterprise combination is a transaction or event that brings together two or more separate
entities into one reporting entity. Enterprise combinations are classified into enterprise combinations
under common control and enterprise combinations not under common control.
(1) Enterprise combinations under common control
An enterprise combination under common control is an enterprise combination in which all of the
combining entities are ultimately controlled by the same party or parties both before and after the
combination, and that control is not transitory. For enterprise combination under common control, the
party that obtains the control of the other parties on the combination date is the acquiring party, and
other parties involving in the enterprise combination are the parties being acquired. The combination
date is the date on which the acquiring party effectively obtains the control of the party being acquired.
In case the consideration for long-term equity investments formed in enterprise combination under
common control is paid by ways of cash, transfer of non-cash assets or assumption of debts, the
Company will regard the share of carrying amounts of the net assets in the final controller’s consolidated
financial statements obtained as the initial investment cost of long-term equity investments as at the date
of combination. For carrying value of net assets of the acquiree is negative as at the date of combination,
investment cost of long-term equity investment is calculated as zero. In case the acquiree is controlled
by the ultimate controller by the enterprise combination under non-common control before combination,
the initial investment cost of the long-term equity investment of the acquirer includes relevant goodwill.
The Company should adjust the capital reserve (capital premium or share premium) in accordance with
the differences between initial investment cost of the long-term equity investment and the cash paid, the
non-cash assets transferred and the carrying value of liability assumed; in case the balance of the capital
reserve (capital premium or share premium) is insufficient for the elimination, then any excess shall be
adjusted against retained earnings. In case the consideration for the combination is paid by issuance of
equity instruments, the aggregate nominal value of shares issued will be deemed as the share capital. The
difference between the initial investment cost of long-term equity investments and aggregate nominal
value of shares issued shall be adjusted to capital reserve (capital premium or share premium), in case
133 / 239
Qingdao Haier Co., Ltd. 2015 Annual Report
the capital reserve (capital premium or share premium) is insufficient for the elimination, then any
excess shall be adjusted against retained earnings.
Intermediary fees (such as audit, legal services and valuation consultancy) and other relevant
management fees incurred in the enterprises combination by the acquirer are credited in profit or loss in
the period when they occurred. Trading expenses in direct relation to the issuance of equity instrument
as the consideration for the combination is written down to the capital reserve (capital premium or share
premium), where the capital reserve (capital premium or share premium) is insufficient, retained
earnings should be adjusted. Trading expenses in direct relation to the issuance of debt instrument as the
consideration for the combination is included in the initial recognition amount of the debt instrument.
For enterprise combination under common control finally realized through several transactions, in
case of a package transaction, all the transactions are accounted as one transaction that has acquired the
control; in case of no package transaction, the capital reserve (assets premium or share premium) is
adjusted by the difference between the initial investment cost and the carrying value of the original
long-term equity investment and the book value of the new payment consideration for further acquisition
of shares with the share of acquirer's owner's equity on the date of combination in case calculated on the
proportion of shareholding on the date of combination as its initial investment cost; where the capital
reserve (assets premium or share premium) is insufficient, the retained earnings are adjusted.
In the consolidated financial statements, the equity investment held by the combining party before
the date of acquiring control of the combined parties, and the profit and loss, the other comprehensive
income and changes in the other owners’ equity recognized during the period between the later of the
date of acquisition and the date when the combining and the combined parties are under the common
control of the same party and the date of combination, are written down to the retained earnings or
current profit or loss at the end of the comparative reporting period, respectively.
(2) Enterprise combinations involving entities not under common control
An enterprise combination not under common control is an enterprise combination in which all of
the combining entities are not ultimately controlled by the same party or parties both before and after the
combination. For enterprise combination not under common control, the party that obtains the control of
the other parties at the combination date is the acquirer; other parties involving in the enterprise
134 / 239
Qingdao Haier Co., Ltd. 2015 Annual Report
combination are the acquirees. The combination date is the date on which the acquirer effectively
obtains control of the acquirees.
In enterprise combination involving entities not under common control, the cost of combination
shall be the sum of the assets paid, obligations incurred or assumed and the fair value of the equity
securities issued by the acquirer for obtaining control of the acquiree at the date of acquisition.
Intermediary fees (such as audit, legal services and valuation consultancy) and other relevant
management fees incurred by the acquirer for the purpose of enterprise combination are credited in
profit or loss in the period when they occurred. Transaction fees for the equity instruments or debt
instruments issued by the acquirer as combination consideration is included in the initial recognition
amount of such equity instruments or debt instruments. Contingent consideration involved shall be
recorded as the combination cost based on its fair value on the acquisition date. Should any new or
further evidence arises within 12 months after the acquisition date and makes it necessary to adjust the
contingent consideration on the acquisition date, the goodwill arising from the enterprise combination
shall be amended accordingly.
The cost of combination and identifiable net assets obtained by the acquirer in an enterprise
combination are measured at fair value on the acquisition date. Where the cost of the combination
exceeds the acquirer’s interest in the fair value of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets, the difference is
recognized as goodwill; where the cost of combination is lower than the acquirer’s interest in the fair
value of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets, the difference is initially recognized in profit or loss for
the current year after a review of computation for the identifiable assets, liabilities or fair value of the
liabilities and combination cost, and where the combination cost is still lower than the fair value of the
identifiable net assets of the acquiree obtained during the course of combination, then the difference is
recorded in the current profit and loss.
In enterprise combination involving entities not under common control that is realized in phases through
multiple exchange transactions, in the parent's financial statements, the sum of the book value of the equity
investment of the acquiree held before the date of acquisition and the cost of new investment on the date of
acquisition are recognized as the initial investment cost of such investment.
In consolidated financial statement, the equity of the acquiree held before the date of acquisition is
re-measured at the fair value on the date of acquisition, and the difference between the fair value and
book value is included in current investment income; where the equity of the acquiree held before the
135 / 239
Qingdao Haier Co., Ltd. 2015 Annual Report
date of acquisition involves the other comprehensive income, such equity and relevant other
comprehensive income are transferred to current investment income on the date of acquisition, other
than the other comprehensive income that cannot be reclassified into the current profit or loss.
The fair value on the acquisition date of equity interest in the acquiree prior to the acquisition date
and the fair value of the considerations paid for the acquisition of the new equity on the acquisition date
are regarded as the combination costs of the Company, comparing with aquirer's share of the fair value
on the acquisition date of the acquiree's net identifiable assets on the proportion of the shareholding on
the acquisition date to confirm the goodwill that required to be recognized on the acquisition date or the
amount that shall be included in the current consolidated profit or loss.
6. Preparation method of consolidated financial statements
(1) Scope of consolidated financial statements
The Company incorporated all of its subsidiaries (including the separate entities controlled by the
Company) into the scope of consolidation financial statements, including the enterprises under the
Company’s control, divisible part in the investees and structured entities.
(2) To unify the accounting policies, date of balance sheets and accounting periods of the parent
company and subsidiaries
When preparing consolidated financial statements, adjustments are made if subsidiaries’ accounting
policies or accounting periods are different from that of the Company, in accordance with the
Company’s accounting policies and accounting periods.
(3) Offset matters in the consolidated financial statements
The consolidated financial statements shall be prepared on the basis of the balance sheets of the
parent company and subsidiaries, which offset the internal transactions incurred between the parent
company and subsidiaries and among subsidiaries. The owner’s equity of the subsidiaries not
attributable to the parent company shall be presented as ―minority equity‖ under the owners’ equity item
in the consolidated balance sheet.
(4)Accounting treatment of subsidiaries acquired from combination
For subsidiaries acquired from enterprise combination under common control, the assets, liabilities,
operating results and cash flows of the subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements
from the beginning of the period in which the combination took place, as if the combination has taken
since the ultimate controller began its control. When preparing the consolidated financial statements, for
the subsidiaries acquired from enterprise combination under non-common control, separate financial
136 / 239
Qingdao Haier Co., Ltd. 2015 Annual Report
statement will be adjusted on the basis of their fair values of the identifiable net assets on the date of
acquisition.
7. Classification of joint arrangement and joint operations
A joint arrangement refers to an arrangement jointly controlled by two or more parties. In accordance
with the Company’s rights and obligations under a joint arrangement, the Company classifies joint
arrangements into: joint operations and joint ventures.
Joint operations refer to a joint arrangement during which the Company is entitled to relevant assets and
obligations of this arrangement. The Company recognizes the following items in relation to its interest in a
joint operation, and accounts the same in accordance with relevant accounting standards for business
enterprises:
① recognize the assets held solely by the Company, and recognize assets held jointly by the
Company in appropriation to the share of the Company; ② recognize the obligations assumed solely by
the Company, and recognize obligations assumed jointly by the Company in appropriation to the share
of the Company; ③ recognize revenue from disposal of joint operations of the Company; ④
recognize revenue from disposal of joint operations in appropriation to the share of the Company;⑤
recognize fees solely occurred by the Company and recognize fees from joint operations in appropriation
to the share of the Company.
When the Company, as a joint venture, invests or sells assets to or purchase assets (the assets do not
constitute a business, the same below) from joint operations, the Company shall only recognize the part
of profit or lost from this transaction attributable to other parties of joint operations before these assets
are sold to a third party. In case of an impairment loss incurred on these assets which meets the
requirements as set out in ―Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises No. 8 – Asset Impairment‖,
the Company shall full recognize the amount of this loss in relation to its investment in or sale of
assets to joint operations, or recognize the loss according to the Company’s share of commitment in
relation to the its purchase of assets from joint operations.
Joint ventures refer to a joint arrangement during which the Company only is entitled to net assets
of this arrangement. Investment in joint venture is accounted for using the equity method according to
the accounting policies referred to under ―13 Long-term equity investment‖ of this Note III.
137 / 239
Qingdao Haier Co., Ltd. 2015 Annual Report
8. Recognition standard for cash and cash equivalents
Cash recognized in the cash flow statements represents the cash on hand and deposits available for
payment of the Company at any time.
Cash equivalents recognized in the cash flow statements refer to short-term, highly liquid
investments held by the Company that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are
subject to an insignificant risk on change in value.
9. Foreign currency businesses and translation of foreign currency statements
(1) Foreign currency transactions
If foreign currency transactions occur, they are translated into the amount of functional currency by
applying the spot exchange rate at the transaction date.
Monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are translated into functional currencies at the rates of
exchange ruling at the balance sheet date. All foreign exchange difference are credited into the current
profit or loss, except ① those arising from the funds denominated in foreign currency specially
borrowed for the establishment of the qualifying assets are treated based on the principal of
capitalization of borrowing costs; ② those arising from the other changes in the balance other than
amortized cost of available-for-sale monetary items denominated in foreign currency are recognized in
the other comprehensive income.
Non-monetary items in foreign currency measured at historical cost are translated using the spot
exchange rate prevailing on the date when transaction occurred and its functional currency shall remain
unchanged. Non-monetary items denominated in foreign currencies that are measured at fair value are
translated using the foreign exchange rate at the date the fair value is determined; the exchange
differences between the translated and original amounts of functional currencies are recognized in the
statement of profit or loss or other comprehensive income as changes in fair value (including changes in
exchange rate).
(2) Translation of foreign currency information
If the functional currencies used as the bookkeeping base currency by the subsidiaries, joint ventures and
associates under the control of the Company are different from that of the Company, their financial
statements denominated in foreign currencies shall be translated to perform accounting and prepare the
138 / 239
Qingdao Haier Co., Ltd. 2015 Annual Report
consolidated financial statements.
The assets and liabilities of the balance sheet are translated using the spot exchange rate at the balance
sheet date; all items except for ―undistributed profits‖ of the owner’s equity are translated at the spot
exchange rate on the transaction date. The revenue and expenses in the income statement are translated
using the approximate rate of the spot exchange rate on the transaction date. Differences arising from the
translation of foreign currency financial statements are presented as the ―other comprehensive income‖
in the owner’s equity of the balance sheet.
Foreign currency cash flows are translated using the approximate rate of the spot exchange rate on the
transaction date. The impact of exchange rate changes on cash amount is reflected separately in the cash
flow.
When disposing overseas operations, the translation difference related to the overseas operation shall be
transferred together or as the percentage of disposing the overseas operation to profit or loss for the
current period of disposal.
10. Financial instruments
(1) Classification, recognition and measurement of financial instruments
A financial asset or a financial liability is recognized when the Company becomes a contractual party of
a financial instrument. Financial assets and financial liabilities are measured at fair value upon initial
recognition. Related transaction costs are recorded directly in current profit or loss for financial assets
and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, or included in the amount recognized initially
for other financial assets and financial liabilities.
Determination of the fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities: Fair value refers to the price
receivable from the exchange of an asset or payable for the settlement of a liability in a fair transaction
between knowledgeable and willing counterparties. The fair value of financial instruments where there
is an active market is determined based on the quoted price in such market, which refers to the price
regularly available from exchanges, brokers, trade associations and pricing service agencies that
represents the price adopted in an arm’s length transaction actually occurred in the market. For financial
instruments where there is no active market, the fair value is determined using valuation techniques.
Such techniques include reference to prices used in recent market transactions between knowledgeable
and willing counterparties, reference to the current fair value of another instrument which is
139 / 239
Qingdao Haier Co., Ltd. 2015 Annual Report
substantially the same, discounted cash flow analysis and option pricing models or other valuation
models.
The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortized cost of a financial asset and of
allocating interest income or expense over each period based on the effective interest of a financial asset
or a financial liability (including a group of financial assets or financial liabilities). The effective interest
rate is the rate that discounts future cash flows from the financial asset or financial liability over its
expected life or (where appropriate) a shorter period to the carrying amount of the financial asset or
financial liability. In calculating the effective interest rate, the Company will estimate the future cash
flows (excluding future credit losses) by taking into account all contract terms relating to the financial
assets or financial liabilities whilst considering various fees, transaction costs and discounts or premiums
which are part of the effective interest rate paid or received between the parties to the financial assets or
financial liabilities contracts.
Financial assets are classified into financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, held-to-maturity
investments, loans and receivables, and available-for-sale financial assets upon initial recognition.
Classification of financial asset other than loans and receivables is based on the purpose and capability
of financial asset held by the Company and its subsidiaries. The financial liabilities are, on initial
recognition, classified into financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss and other financial
liabilities.
Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss include financial assets held for trading and financial
assets designated as at fair value through profit or loss. All financial assets at fair value through profit or
loss of the Company are financial assets held for trading. Financial assets may be classified as financial
assets held for trading if one of the following conditions is met: (1) The financial asset is acquired
principally for the purpose of sale or repurchase in the near term; (2) The financial asset is part of a
portfolio of identified financial instruments that are managed together and for which there is objective
evidence of a recent pattern of short-term profit-taking; (3) The financial asset is a derivative,
excluding the derivatives designated as effective hedging instruments, the derivatives classified as
financial guarantee contract, and the derivatives linked to an equity instrument investment, which has no
quoted price in an active market nor a reliably measured fair value, and required to be settled through
delivery of that equity instrument. A financial asset may be designated as at fair value through profit or
loss upon initial recognition only when one of the following conditions is satisfied: (1) Such designation
140 / 239
Qingdao Haier Co., Ltd. 2015 Annual Report
eliminates or significantly reduces a measurement or recognition inconsistency that would otherwise
result from measuring assets or recognizing the gains or losses on them on different bases; (2) The
financial asset forms part of a group of financial assets or a group of financial assets and financial
liabilities, which is managed and its performance is evaluated on a fair value basis, in accordance with
the Company’s documented risk management or investment strategy, and information about the
grouping is reported to key management personnel on that basis; (3) Pursuant to Accounting Standards
for Enterprises No. 22 – Recognition and Measurement of Financial Instruments, the financial asset is
designated as combination instrument of financial assets measured at fair value through current profit or
loss and related to embedded derivatives. A financial asset at fair value through profit or loss, except for
those falling under cash flow hedging, is subsequently measured at fair value. Any gains or losses
arising from changes in the fair value are recognized in profit or loss of changes in the fair value.
Interests or cash dividends received during the period in which such assets are held, are recognized as
investment income; on disposal, the differences between the consideration received and initial
recognized amount are recognized as investment income and the gain or loss from changes in fair value
shall be adjusted accordingly.
Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are
not quoted in active market. Financial assets, including bills receivable, accounts receivable, other
receivables and long-term receivables are classified as loans and receivables by the Company. Loans and
receivables are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. Gain or loss
on derecognition, impairment or amortization is recognized through profit or loss for the current period.
Available-for-sale financial assets include non-derivative financial assets designated as
available-for-sale at initial recognition, and the financial assets other than financial assets at fair value
through profit or loss, loans and receivables, and held-to-maturity investments. Available-for-sale
financial assets are subsequently measured at fair value, the gains or losses arising from changes in fair
value, except for impairment losses and exchange difference related to monetary financial assets and
amortized cost which are recognized in profit or loss, are recognized in other comprehensive income and
reclassified to profit or loss when the financial assets are derecognized. Interests calculated in the
effective interest method during the holdings of available-for-sale financial assets and cash dividends
declared by investees are recognized in investment incomes. On disposal, the differences between the
consideration received and the carrying amount of assets after deducting the accumulated fair value
141 / 239
Qingdao Haier Co., Ltd. 2015 Annual Report
adjustments previously recorded in capital reserves are recorded as investment income. However, an
equity instrument investment which has no quoted price in an active market nor a reliably measured fair
value, and a derivative financial asset (or derivative financial liability) linked to such equity instrument
and required to be settled through delivery of that equity instrument are measured at cost.
Derivative financial instruments include forward foreign exchange contracts and interest rate swap
contracts, etc. Derivative financial instruments are initially recognized at fair value at the execution date
of relevant contracts, and subsequently measured at fair value. Expect for the derivative financial
instruments designated as hedging instruments with a highly effective hedging, of which the profit or
loss arising from the changes in fair value will be included in the corresponding profit or loss depending
on the nature of hedging relations and the accounting requirements of hedging tools, the changes in the
fair value of all other derivative financial instruments will be included in the current profit or loss.
Equity instruments refer to the contracts proving the ownership of the remaining equities in the assets of
the Company upon the deduction of all the liabilities. The consideration received from the issue of the
equity instruments increases the shareholders’ equity upon the deduction of the transaction costs. The
allocations made by the Company to the holders of equity instruments (excluding stock dividends)
decrease shareholders’ equity. The Company does not recognize the change in the fair value of equity
instruments.
(2) Recognition and measurement of transfers of financial asset
Financial asset that satisfied any of the following criteria shall be derecognized: (1) the contract right to
recover the cash flows of the financial asset has terminated; (2) the financial asset, along with
substantially all the risk and return arising from the ownership of the financial asset, has been transferred
to the transferee; and (3) the financial asset has been transferred to the transferee, and the Company has
given up the control on such financial asset, though it does not assign or maintain substantially all the
risk and return arising from the ownership of the financial asset.
When the Company does not either assign or maintain substantially all the risk and rewards of
ownership of the financial asset and does not give up the control on such financial asset, to the extent of
its continuous involvement in the financial asset, the Company recognizes it as a related financial asset
and recognizes the relevant liability accordingly. The extent of the continuous involvement is the extent
to which the Company exposes to changes in the value of such financial assets.
142 / 239
Qingdao Haier Co., Ltd. 2015 Annual Report
On derecognition of a financial asset, the difference between the following amounts is recognized in
profit or loss for the current period: the carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received and
any accumulated gain or loss that had been recognized directly in equity. If a part of the financial assets
qualifies for derecognition, the carrying amount of the financial asset is allocated between the part that
continues to be recognized and the part that qualifies for derecognition, based on the fair values of the
respective parts. The difference between the following amounts is recognized in profit or loss for the
period: the carrying amount of the part that qualifies for derecognition and the sum of the consideration
received and any accumulated gain or loss that had been recognized directly in equity.
Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount is reported in the balance sheet if
there is currently an enforceable legal right to offset the recognized financial assets and financial
liabilities and there is an intention to settle on a net basis, or to realize the assets and settle the liabilities
simultaneously. Otherwise, financial assets and financial liabilities are presented separately in the
balance sheet without being offset.
(3) Classification, recognition and measurement of financial liabilities
The Company classifies financial liabilities and equity instruments according to the substance of the
contractual arrangements entered into and the definitions of a financial liability and an equity instrument.
Financial liabilities are classified as financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss and other
financial liabilities at initial recognition.
Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss include financial liabilities held for trading and
financial liabilities designated as at fair value through profit or loss.
Financial liabilities may be classified as financial liabilities held for trading if one of the following
conditions is met: (1) The financial liability is acquired principally for the purpose of sale or repurchase
in the near term; (2) The financial liability is part of a portfolio of identified financial instruments that
are managed together and for which there is objective evidence of a recent pattern of short-term
profit-taking; or (3) The financial liability is a derivative, excluding the derivatives designated as
effective hedging instruments, the derivatives classified as financial guarantee contract, and the
derivatives linked to an equity instrument investment, which has no quoted price in an active market nor
a reliably measured fair value, and required to be settled through delivery of that equity instrument.
A financial liability may be designated as at fair value through profit or loss upon initial recognition only
when one of the following conditions is satisfied: (1) Such designation eliminates or significantly
143 / 239
Qingdao Haier Co., Ltd. 2015 Annual Report
reduces a measurement or recognition inconsistency that would otherwise result from measuring
liabilities or recognizing the gains or losses on them on different bases; (2) The financial liability forms
part of a group of financial liabilities or a group of financial liabilities and financial liabilities, which is
managed and its performance is evaluated on a fair value basis, in accordance with the Company’s
documented risk management or investment strategy, and information about the grouping is reported to
key management personnel on that basis; or (3) Pursuant to Accounting Standards for Enterprises No. 22
– Recognition and Measurement of Financial Instruments, the financial liability is designated as
combination instrument of financial liabilities measured at fair value through current profit or loss and
related to embedded derivatives.
Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are subsequently measured at fair value. The gain
or loss arising from changes in fair value and dividend and interest incomes arising from such financial
liabilities are recognized in profit or loss for the current period.
Derecognition of financial liabilities: A financial liability shall be derecognized or partly derecognized
when the current obligation is discharged or partly discharged. When the Company (debtor) and the
creditor have signed a contract which uses a new financial liability to replace the existing financial
liability, and the contract terms of the new financial liability are substantially different with the existing
financial liability, the existing financial liability shall be derecognized, and the new financial liability
shall be recognized at the same time. If a financial liability is fully or partially derecognized, the
difference between the book value of derecognized portion and the consideration paid (including
non-cash assets transferred out or new financial liability assumed) is recognized in profit or loss.
(4) Impairment of financial assets
The carrying values of all financial assets except financial assets at fair value through profit or loss
should be tested for impairment. If impairment is demonstrated by objective evidences, the provision of
impairment should be prepared according to the impairment test.
Objective evidences for recognition of impairment of financial asset include the following observable
matters:
① The issuer or debtor is experiencing significant financial difficulties;
② The debtor breaches the contractual terms, including default or delinquency in interest or principal
payments;
③ The Company, based on economic or legal or other factors, waive the debts;
144 / 239
Qingdao Haier Co., Ltd. 2015 Annual Report
④ It is highly probable that the debtor will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganization;
⑤ The issuer is experiencing significant financial difficulties that the corresponding financial
instruments could not be traded in an active market;
⑥ When it is unable to determine whether cash flows of a specific instrument in a group of financial
assets decrease, but the cash flows since initial recognition of that group of financial assets would be
measurable and decrease, or the ability to repay by the debtors in that group of financial asset deteriorate,
or the unemployment rate of the country or region in which the debtors situate increases, or the price of
the underlying collateral decreases significantly in its region, or the industry of the debtors is
diminishing;
⑦ There are significant adverse changes in the technology, market, economy or legal environments in
issuance place of the equity instrument so that the investor could not recover its investment costs;
⑧ There is significant or other than temporary decrease in fair value of equity instrument;
⑨ Other objective evidences show that the financial asset is impaired.
The Company shall carry out independent impairment test for financial assets of significant single
amounts. With regard to the financial assets with insignificant single amounts, an independent
impairment test shall be included in a combination of financial assets with similar credit risk
characteristics so as to carry out an impairment test. In the event, upon independent test, the financial
asset (including those financial assets with significant single amounts and those with insignificant
amounts) has not been impaired, it shall be included in a combination of financial assets with similar
characteristics so as to conduct another impairment test. Financial assets that have conducted
independent test as impairment loss shall not be included in a combination of financial assets with
similar risk characteristics so as to conduct another impairment test.
When held-to-maturity investments, loans and accounts receivables have been impaired, the book value
of the financial assets shall be written down to the current value of estimated future cash flow discounted
at the original effective interest rate, and the write-down amount is recorded as impairment loss and
written into profit or loss of the current period. When a financial asset based on amortized cost is
impaired, if there are objective evidences showing the value of this financial asset is recovered and it is
objectively related to the matters happened after the impairment loss recognition, the impairment loss
recognized shall be reversed. However, the reversal shall not result in a carrying amount of the financial
asset that exceeds the amortized cost that would have been if the impairment had not been recognized at
145 / 239
Qingdao Haier Co., Ltd. 2015 Annual Report
the date when the impairment is reversed.
If an available-for-sale financial asset is impaired, the cumulative loss arising from decline in fair value
that had been recognized directly in other comprehensive income is reclassified to profit or loss. The
cumulative loss reclassified is the difference between its acquisition cost (net of any principal repayment
and amortization) and its current fair value, less any impairment loss previously recognized in profit or
loss. If there are objective evidences that the value of that financial asset is recovered and it can be
objectively related to an event occurred after the impairment loss recognition, the impairment loss
recognized shall be reversed, impairment losses recognized for equity instruments classified as
available-for-sale are reversed through other comprehensive income, while impairment losses
recognized for debt instruments classified as available-for-sale are reversed through current profit or
loss.
If there’s objective evidence that an investment in equity instrument which has no quoted price in an
active market nor a reliably measured fair value or a derivative financial asset which is linked to that
equity instrument and required to be settled through delivery of that equity instrument is impaired, the
carrying amount shall be written down to the present value discounted at the market rate of return on
future cash flows of the similar financial assets, and the write-down amount shall be recognized as
impairment loss in profit or loss. Such impairment loss once recognized shall no longer be reversed.
For investments in equity instruments, the specific quantitative criteria for the Company to determine
―serious‖ or ―not temporary‖ decrease in their fair value are set out below:
Specific quantitative criterion on ―serious‖ decrease Decrease in closing fair value relative to the
in their fair value cost has reached or exceeded 50%.
Specific quantitative criterion on ―not temporary‖
Fall for 12 consecutive months.
decrease in their fair value
11. Receivables
Receivables of the Company include trade receivables and other receivables. Recognition and
provision of bad debts of receivables:
(1) Individually significant receivables for which separate bad-debt provision is made
Individually significant receivables represent the receivables accounting for above 5% of the closing
balance. The Company conducted a separate impairment test for receivables that are individually
146 / 239
Qingdao Haier Co., Ltd. 2015 Annual Report
significant on the balance sheet date and made provision for its bad debts based on the difference
between the present value of its estimated future cash flows and its carrying amount.
(2) Individually insignificant receivables for which separate bad-debt provision is made
Individual impairment test is made where there is concrete evidence indicates that there is obvious
difference in recoverability, and bad debts provision is made based on the difference between the present
value of its estimated future cash flows and its carrying amount.
(3) Trade receivables for which collective bad debt provision is made
Receivables that are individually tested not impairment, is classified by similar credit risks into
several portfolio and then recognize the impairment loss and make bad debts provision on the 5% of the
balance of the receivables on the balance sheet date.
12. Inventories
(1) Classification of inventories:
Inventories refer to the finished goods or commodities held for sale in daily activities, goods in
progress in the production process, consumed materials and supplies in the production process or
providing services of the Company, which mainly include raw materials, revolving materials, entrusted
processed materials, wrappage, low-cost consumables, goods in progress, self-made semi-finished goods,
finished goods (merchandise inventory) and engineering construction etc.
(2) Cost of inventories transferred out
Inventories from the Company are calculated by weighted average method.
(3)Provision for inventory impairment
At balance sheet date, inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value.
The net realizable value of inventories (including finished products, merchandize and materials for sale)
that can be sold directly is determined using the estimated saleable price of such inventory deducted by the
cost of sales and relevant taxation. The net realizable value of materials in inventory that are held for
production is determined using the estimated saleable price of the finished product deducted by the cost to
completion, estimated cost of sales and relevant taxation. The net realizable value of inventory held for
performance of sales contract or labor service contract is determined based on the contractual price; in case
the amount of inventory held by the enterprise exceeds the contractual amount, the net realizable value of the
147 / 239
Qingdao Haier Co., Ltd. 2015 Annual Report
excess portion of inventory is calculated using the normal saleable price.
Provision for impairment of inventories is made for individual inventory. For items of inventories that is
produced and marketed in the same geographical area and with the same or similar end uses or purposes,
which cannot be practicable evaluated separately from other items, cost and net realizable value of inventories
may be determined on an aggregate basis. For large quantity and low value items of inventories, cost and net
realizable value of inventories may be determined on types of inventories.
Provision for impairment of inventories is made and recognized as current profit or loss when the
cost is higher than the net realizable value on the balance sheet date. If the factors that give rise to the
provision in prior years are not in effect in current year, provision would be reversed within the impaired
cost, and recognized in the current profit or loss.
(4) Inventory system
The Company adopts perpetual inventory system.
(5) Amortization of low-value consumables and packaging
Low-value consumables and packages of the Company are amortized by one-time write-off.
13. Long-term equity investments
Long-term equity investments in this section refer to equity investments held by the Company that
give it control, joint control or significant influence over the investee. Long-term equity investments
where the Company does not exercise control, joint control or significant influence over the investee are
accounted for as available-for-sale financial assets.
(1) Recognition of initial cost of investment
①For long-term equity investment obtained from business consolidation under common control, the
initial cost is measured at the combining party’s share of the carrying amount of the equity of the
combined party; for a long-term equity investment obtained from business consolidation under
non-common control, the initial cost is the consolidation cost at the date of acquisition;
② For the long-term equity investment acquired in a manner other than enterprise combination: the
initial investment cost of the long-term equity investment acquired by payment in cash shall be the total
purchase price; the initial investment cost of the long-term equity investment acquired by issuing equity
securities shall be the fair value of the equity securities issued；For long-term equity investment acquired
148 / 239
Qingdao Haier Co., Ltd. 2015 Annual Report
by debt restructuring, the initial investment cost shall be recognized in accordance with the requirements
under Accounting Standards for Enterprises No. 12 - Debt Restructuring. For long-term equity
investment acquired by the exchange of non-monetary assets, the initial investment cost shall be
recognized in accordance with relevant requirements under the Rules.
(2) Subsequent measurement and profit or loss recognition
①Cost method
Where the investor has a control over the investee, long-term equity investments are measured using cost
method. For long-term equity investments using cost method, unless increasing or reducing the investment,
the carrying value is unchanged. The Company’s share of the profit distributions or cash dividends declared
by the investee are recognized as investment income.
②Equity method
Investor's long-term equity investments in associates and joint ventures are measured using equity
method. Where part of the equity investments of an investor in its associates are held indirectly through
venture investment institutions, common fund, trust companies or other similar entities including investment
linked insurance funds, such part of equity investments indirectly held by the investor shall be measured at
fair value through profit or loss according to relevant requirements of Accounting Standards for Business
Enterprises No.22—Recognition and measurement of Financial Instruments regardless whether the above
entities have significant influence on such part of equity investments, while the remaining part shall be
measured using equity method.
Under the equity method, where the initial investment cost of a long-term equity investment exceeds the
Company’s share of the fair value of the investee’s identifiable net assets at the time of acquisition, no
adjustment is made to the initial investment cost. Where the initial investment cost is less than the Company’s
share of the fair value of the investee’s identifiable net assets at the time of acquisition, the difference is
recognized in profit or loss for the period, and the cost of the long-term equity investment is adjusted
accordingly.
For long-term equity investments accounted for using the equity method, the Company recognizes the
investment income and other comprehensive incomes according to its share of net profit or loss of the
investee, and the carrying amount of the long-term equity investments shall be adjusted accordingly; the
carrying amount of the investment is reduced by the Company’s share of the profit distribution or cash
dividends declared by an investee; for changes in owner’s equity of the investee other than those arising from
149 / 239
Qingdao Haier Co., Ltd. 2015 Annual Report
its net profit or loss, other comprehensive income and profit distribution, the carrying amount of the long-term
equity investment shall be adjusted and recognized to capital reserve. When recognizing attributable share of
the net profits and losses of the investee, the net profits of the investee shall be recognized after adjustment
on the ground of the fair value of all identifiable assets of the investee when it obtains the investment. If the
accounting policies and accounting periods adopted by the investee are different from those adopted by the
Company, an adjustment shall be made to the financial statements of the investee in accordance with the
accounting policies and accounting periods of the Company and recognize the investment incomes and other
comprehensive incomes.
The Company’s share of net losses of the investee shall be recognized to the extent that the carrying
amount of the long-term equity investment together with any long-term interests that in substance form part of
the investor’s net investment in the investee are reduced to zero. If the Company has to assume additional
obligations, the estimated obligation assumed shall be provided for and charged to the profit or loss as
investment loss for the period. Where the investee is making profits in subsequent periods, the Company shall
resume recognizing its share of profits after setting off against the share of unrecognized losses.
(3) Change of the accounting methods for long-term equity investments
①Change of measurement at fair value to accounting under equity method: where the equity investment
held have no control, joint control or significant impact on the investee and that are accounted according to
the financial instrument recognition and measurement criteria can carry out common control or place
significant impact due to addition of investment which resulted in the increase of shareholding, the investee
shall plus the fair value of the equity investment originally held determined in accordance with the Standards
for Recognition and Measurement of Financial Instruments and the fair value of the consideration payable for
new investment as the initial investment cost accounted under equity method when change the equity method.
②Change of measurement at fair value or accounting under equity method to cost method: the equity
investment of the investee held by the investor with no control, joint control or significant impact and
accounted according to the financial instrument recognition and measurement criteria, or the long-term equity
investment in associates or joint venture originally held that can control the investee due to addition of
investment, shall be accounted in accordance with the long-term equity investment formed by combination of
enterprises.
③Change of accounting under equity method to measurement at fair value: the long-term equity
investment originally held with common control or significant impact on the investee that cannot conduct
common control or significant impact on the investee due to the decrease of shareholding as a result of factors
150 / 239
Qingdao Haier Co., Ltd. 2015 Annual Report
such as partial disposal, shall be accounted in accordance with Standards for Recognition and Measurement of
Financial Instruments, and the difference between the fair value on the date when the common control or
significant impact is lost and the book value is included in current profit or loss.
④Change of cost method to equity method: where control on the investee change to significant impact
or common control with other investors due to factors such as disposal of investment, the long-term equity
investment cost that ceased to be recognized shall first be carried forward on the proportion of the investment
disposed. Then comparing the cost of the remaining long-term equity investment with the attributable fair
value of the identifiable net assets of the investee at the original investment calculated on proportion of the
remaining shareholding, where the former larger than the later, it belongs to the goodwill as showed in
deciding the investment price and will not adjust the carrying amount of the long-term equity investment;
where the former less than the later, the retained earnings will be adjusted along with the adjustment of the
long-term equity investment.
(4) Basis of conclusion for common control and significant influence over the investee
①Joint control over an investee refers to activities which have a significant influence on return of an
arrangement could be decided only by mutual consent of the investing parties sharing the control, which
includes the sales and purchase of goods or services, management of financial assets, acquisition and disposal
of assets, research and development activities and financing activities, etc.
② Significant influence on the investee refers to significant influence over the investee exists when
holding more than 20% but less than 50% of the shares with voting rights or even if the holding is below 20%,
there is still significant influence if any of the following conditions satisfied:
① there is representative in the board of directors or similar governing body of the investee;
② participating in investee’s policy setting process;
③ assign management to investee;
④ the investee relies on the technology or technical information of the investee;
⑤ major transactions with the investee.
(5) Impairment test and provision of impairment
At the balance sheet date, the Company reviews whether there is impairment indicator for the long-term
equity investments. When there is impairment indicator, the recoverable amount is determined through
impairment test and impairment is provided based on the difference between the recoverable amount and the
carrying value. Impairment loss is not reversed once provided.
The recoverable amount is the higher of net fair value of long-term equity investments on disposal and
the present value of estimated future cash flows.
(6) Disposal of long-term equity investments
For disposal of long-term equity investment, the difference between the considerations received and the
151 / 239
Qingdao Haier Co., Ltd. 2015 Annual Report
carrying amount of the disposed investment is recognized in profit or loss. For long-term equity investment
accounted for using the equity method, the part recognized in other comprehensive income is accounted on
pro rata basis upon disposal in the same way as the relevant assets or liabilities are disposed of directly by the
investee.
14. Investment properties
(1). If measured by cost:
Investment properties of the Company include leased land use rights and leased buildings.
An investment property is initially measured at cost, and cost method is adopted for subsequent
measurement. Investment properties are depreciated or amortized in accordance with the accounting
policies for the fixed assets or intangible assets of the Company. When the investment properties are for
self-use, relevant investment properties will be converted into fixed assets or intangible assets on the
date of conversion.
15. Fixed assets
(1). Recognition criteria
Fixed assets are tangible assets that are held for production of goods, provision of services, leasing
or administrative purposes, and have useful life more than one fiscal year, which are recognized when
the following conditions are met:
①economic benefits in relation to the fixed assets are very likely to flow into the enterprise;
②the cost of the fixed assets can be measured reliably.
(2). Depreciation method
The fixed assets of the Company can be divided into: buildings and constructions, production
equipment, transportation equipment and office equipment, etc. The straight-line method is used to
measure depreciation. The useful lives and the expected net residual value of fixed assets are determined
according to the nature and usage of various fixed assets. At the end of each year, the useful lives and
depreciation method of fixed assets are reviewed, and adjusted if there is variance with original policies;
The Company have made provisions for all of the fixed assets except for the fixed assets with full
provision and used continuously.
Depreciation lives Estimated rate of Annual depreciation
Category
(years) residual value (%) rate (%)
Houses and buildings 20-40 years 5% 2.38-4.75%
Machinery equipment 10-20 years 5% 4.75-9.50%
Vehicles 5-10 years 5% 9.50%-19.00%
Office equipment and 3-8 years 5% 11.88%-31.67%
others
152 / 239
Qingdao Haier Co., Ltd. 2015 Annual Report
(3). Test method and provision for impairment of fixed assets
At the balance sheet date, the Company reviews whether there is impairment indicator for the fixed
assets. When there is an impairment indicator, the recoverable amount is estimated and impairment is
provided based on the difference between the carrying value and the recoverable amount once the
impairment of an asset is recognized, it will not be reversed in the subsequent accounting period.
16. Construction in progress
(1) Construction in progress is measured at actual cost. Actual cost comprises construction costs,
installation costs, borrowing cost that are eligible for capitalization and other necessary cost incurred to
bring the fixed assets ready for their intended use.
(2) Standard and date of transfer from construction in progress to fixed assets
The construction in progress of the Company is transferred to fixed assets when the project is completed
and ready for its intended use, which shall satisfy one of the following conditions:
① The construction of the fixed assets (including installation) has been completed or substantially
completed;
② The fixed asset has been used for trial operation and it is evidenced that the asset can operate
ordinarily or produce steadily qualified products; or the result of trial operation proves that it can operate
normally;
③ Further expenditure incurred for construction is very minimal or remote;
④ The constructed fixed asset reaches or almost reaches the design or the requirements of contract, or
complies with the design or the requirements of contract.
(3) Impairment test and provision of impairment of construction in progress
At the balance sheet date, the Company reviews the construction in progress to check whether there is
any sign of impairment and an impairment test is needed to recognize the recoverable amount when there are
signs that construction in progress may impair. The impairment loss should be the lower of the carrying value
and recoverable amount and impairment loss cannot be reversed in the following accounting period if it has
been accounted.
The recoverable amount should base on the higher value between fair value less disposal expense and
present value of estimated cash flow in the future.
153 / 239
Qingdao Haier Co., Ltd. 2015 Annual Report
17. Borrowing costs
(1) Recognition principles for borrowing cost capitalization:
Borrowing costs include interests incurred by the Company in connection with the borrowings,
amortization of discount or premium plus auxiliary expenses, and foreign exchange translation
differences from foreign currency borrowings. Borrowing cost incurred by the Company arising from
special borrowings or general borrowing for fixed assets, properties for development and investment or
inventories that require more than one year (including one year) to purchase or construct, shall be
capitalized and credited into relevant assets cost; other borrowing costs are expensed and charged to
current profit or loss when incurred.
(2) Computation of capitalized amount of borrowing costs
Capitalization period refers to the period from the commencement to the cessation of capitalization of
borrowing costs, excluding the periods in which capitalization of borrowing costs is suspended.
Capitalization interruption period: Capitalization of borrowing costs is suspended during periods in
which the acquisition or construction of a qualifying asset is interrupted abnormally and the interruption lasts
for more than 3 months.
Computation of capitalized amount of borrowing costs: ① Specific borrowings will be recorded based
on the actual interest expense incurred in the period of special borrowings less the interest income from
unutilized borrowings placed at banks or investment gain from temporary investment; ② For normal
borrowings used, the interest amount that should be capitalized on normal borrowings is calculated based on
the weighted average of expenses of the aggregate asset exceeding the expenses of the portion of special
borrowings multiplied by the capitalization ratio of the normal borrowings utilized. Capitalization ratio is
calculated based on weighted average interest rate of normal borrowings; ③ For borrowings with discount
or premium, the discount or premium was amortized over the term of the borrowings to adjust the interest in
every period using the effective interest rates.
18. Intangible assets
Intangible assets are the identifiable non-monetary assets which have no physical shape and are
possessed or controlled by the Company.
154 / 239
Qingdao Haier Co., Ltd. 2015 Annual Report
(1). Measurement method, useful life and impairment test
(1) Measurement of intangible assets
Intangible assets are initially recognized at costs. The actual costs of purchased intangible assets include
the consideration and relevant expenses paid. For intangible asset contributed by investors, the price
contained in the investment agreement or mutually agreed is the actual cost of the intangible asset. If the price
contained in the investment agreement or mutually agreed is not a fair value, the fair value of the intangible
asset is regarded as the actual cost. The cost of a self-developed intangible asset is the total expenditure
incurred in brings the asset to its intended use.
Subsequent measurement of intangible assets of the Company: ① Intangible assets with finite useful
lives are amortized on a straight-line basis over the useful lives of the intangible assets; at the end of each year,
the useful lives and amortization policy are reviewed, and adjusted if there is any variance with original
policies; ② Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are not amortized and the useful lives are reviewed
at each year end date. If there is objective evidence that the useful life of an intangible asset is finite, the
intangible asset is amortized using the straight line method according to the estimated useful life.
(2) Criterion of determining infinite useful life
The useful life of an intangible asset is indefinite if the period of the future economic benefits generated
by the intangible asset could not be reasonably determined, or the useful life could not be reasonably
ascertained.
Criterion of determining intangible assets with infinite useful lives: ① For intangible assets derived
from contractual rights or other legal rights and there are no explicit years of use stipulated in the contract or
laws and regulations; ② Useful life still could not be estimated after considering the industrial practice or
relevant expert opinion.
At the end of each year, the useful lives of the intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are reviewed.
The assessment is performed by the departments that use the intangible assets, using the down-to-top
approach, to determine if there are changes to the indefinite useful lives.
(3) Methods for impairment test and provision for impairment of intangible assets
At the balance sheet date, the Company reviews the intangible assets to check whether there is a sign of
impairment and an impairment test is needed to recognize the recoverable amount when there are signs that
intangible assets may impair. The impairment loss should be the lower of the carrying value and recoverable
155 / 239
Qingdao Haier Co., Ltd. 2015 Annual Report
amount and provision for impairment loss cannot be reversed in the following accounting periods if it has
been accounted for.
The recoverable amount should be based on the higher value between fair value less disposal expense
and present value of estimated cash flow in the future.
(2). Basis for research and development phases for internal research and development project
and basis for capitalization of expenditure incurred in development stage
As for an internal research and development project, expenditure incurred in the research phase is
recognized in profit or loss in the period as incurred. Expenses incurred in the development stage are
recognized as intangible assets if all of the following conditions are met: ① the technical feasibility of
completing the intangible asset so that it will be available for use or for sale; ② the intention to complete the
intangible asset for use or for sale; ③ how the intangible asset will generate economic benefits including
there is evidence that the products produced using the intangible asset has a market or the intangible asset
itself has a market; if the intangible asset is for internal use, there is evidence that there exists usage for the
intangible asset; ④ the availability of adequate technical, financial and other resources to complete the
development and the ability to use or sell the intangible asset; ⑤ the expenditures attributable to the
development of the intangible asset could be reliably measured.
Basis for distinguishing research phase and development phase of an internal research and development
project: research stage is the activities carried out for the planned investigation and search of new technology
and knowledge, which has the characteristics of planning and exploration; before commercial production or
other uses, the application of new technologies and new knowledge obtained from the research phase in a plan
or design to produce new or improved materials, equipment and products is regarded as development phase,
which has the characteristics of very probable pinpointing and forming results.
19. Impairment of long-term assets
Long-term equity investment, investment properties measured based on cost model, fixed assets,
construction in progress, intangible assets and other long-term assets are tested for impairment if there is
any indication that an asset may be impaired at the balance date. If the result of the impairment test
indicates that the recoverable amount of the asset is less than its carrying amount, a provision for
impairment and an impairment loss are recognized for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount
156 / 239
Qingdao Haier Co., Ltd. 2015 Annual Report
exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs
to sell and the present value of the future cash flows expected to be derived from the asset. Provision for
asset impairment is determined and recognized on the individual asset basis. If it is not possible to
estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the recoverable amount of a group of assets to
which the asset belongs is determined. A group of assets is the smallest group of assets that is able to
generate independent cash inflows.
Goodwill is tested for impairment at least at each year end.
In terms of impairment test of the goodwill, the carrying amount of the goodwill, arising from enterprise
combination, shall be allocated to the related asset groups in accordance with a reasonable basis on
acquisition date, or to the related asset group portfolios if it is difficult to be allocated to the related asset
groups. When the carrying amount of the goodwill is allocated to the related assets or asset groups, it
shall be allocated in the proportion of the fair value of each asset group or asset group portfolio against
the total fair value of related assets or asset groups. If it is difficult to measure the fair value reliably, it
shall be allocated in the proportion of the carrying amount of each asset group or asset group portfolio
against the total carrying amount of related assets or asset groups.
When there is an indication that the asset and asset group are prone to impair, the Company shall firstly
test for impairment for asset and asset group excluding goodwill and calculate the recoverable amount
and recognize the impairment loss accordingly by comparing with its carrying amount. The Company
shall then test for impairment for asset or the asset group including goodwill and compare the asset or
asset group’s recoverable amount with its carrying amount (including the carrying amount of allocated
goodwill). Provision for impairment of assets shall be recognized when the recoverable amount of the
asset or the asset group is lower than its carrying amount.
Once the impairment loss of such assets is recognized, it is not be reversed in any subsequent accounting
period.
20. Long-term prepayments
Long-term prepayments are expenditures which have incurred but shall be amortized over the
current period and subsequent periods of more than one year (excluding one year). They are amortized
evenly over the benefit period. If the long-term prepayments are no longer beneficial to the subsequent
accounting periods, the unamortized balance is then fully transferred to profit or loss for the period.
157 / 239
Qingdao Haier Co., Ltd. 2015 Annual Report
21. Estimated liabilities
(1) Criterion for determining of estimated liability
If an obligation in relation to contingencies such as external guarantees, discounting of commercial
acceptance bills, pending litigation or arbitration and product quality assurance is the present obligation of the
Company and the performance of such obligation is likely to lead to the outflow of economic benefits and its
amount can be reliably measured, such obligation shall be recognized as estimated liability.
(2) Measurement of estimated liability
The best estimate of the expenditure from current obligation is initially recorded as accrued liability.
When the necessary expenditures falls within a range and the probability of each result in the range are
identical, the best estimate is the median of the range; if there are severable items involved, every possible
result and relevant probability are taken into account for the best estimation.
At the balance sheet date, the carrying value of provision is reviewed. If there is objective evidence that
the carrying value could not reflect the current best estimate, the carrying value is adjusted to the best
estimated value.
22. Share-based payments
For equity-settled share-based payment transaction in return for services from employees, it
shall be measured at the fair value of equity instruments granted to the employees. For the payment
of such fair value that may only be exercised if services are fulfilled in the current period or the
specified performance is achieved, the fair value shall, based on the best estimate of the number of
exercisable instruments, be recognized in relevant costs or expenses in straight-line method with the
increase in the capital reserve accordingly.
The cash-settled share-based payment shall be measured at the fair value of liability assumed
by the Company, which is calculated and determined based on the shares or other equity
instruments. For the cash-settled share-based payment that may be exercised immediately after the
grant, the fair value of the liability assumed by the Company shall, on the date of the grant, be
recognized in relevant costs or expenses and the liabilities shall be increased accordingly. For
cash-settled share-based payment during vesting period, on each balance sheet date within the
vesting period, the services acquired in the current period shall, based on the best estimate of the
number of exercisable instruments, be recognized in relevant costs or expenses and the
158 / 239
Qingdao Haier Co., Ltd. 2015 Annual Report
corresponding liabilities at the fair value of the liability assumed by the Company, and the liabilities
shall be adjusted correspondingly.
At each reporting date and the settlement date prior to the settlement of liabilities, the fair value
of the liability is re-measured through profit or loss.
When there is changes in the Company's share-based payment plans, if the modification
increases the fair value of the equity instruments granted, corresponding recognition of service
increase in accordance with the increase in the fair value of the equity instruments; if the
modification increases the number of equity instruments granted, the increase in fair value of the
equity instruments is recognized as a corresponding increase in service achieved. Increase in the fair
value of equity instruments refer to the difference between the fair values of the modified date. If
the Company modifies the exercisable conditions in such manner conductive to the employees,
including the shortening of the vesting period, change or cancellation of the performance conditions
(rather than market conditions), the Company shall consider the modified exercisable conditions
upon the disposal of exercisable conditions. If the modification reduces the total fair value of shares
paid or the Company uses other methods not conductive to employees share-based payment plans to
modify the terms and conditions of service, it will continue to be accounted for in the accounting
treatment, as if the change had not occurred, unless the Company cancelled some or all of the equity
instruments granted.
During the vesting period, if the cancelled equity instruments granted by the Company to
cancel the equity instruments granted amount treated as accelerated vesting of the remaining period
should be recognized immediately in profit or loss, while recognizing the capital reserve.
Employees or other parties can choose to meet non-vesting conditions but are not met in the vesting
period, the Company will treat it as canceled equity instruments granted.
23. Remuneration of employees
Remuneration of employees are all forms of compensation and other relevant expenditure
given by the Company in exchange for services rendered by employees, including short-term
remuneration, post-employment benefits, termination benefits and other long-term benefits.
159 / 239
Qingdao Haier Co., Ltd. 2015 Annual Report
(1).accounting methods of Short-term compensation
Short-term remuneration include short-term salaries, bonus, allowance, subsidies, staff’s
welfare, housing provident fund, union funds and employee education funds, medical insurance fees,
injury insurance fees, maternity insurance fees, short-term paid absence, short-term profit sharing
plans, etc.. During the accounting period when employees render services, short-term benefits
payable that actually incurred shall be recognized as liabilities and credited into the current profit
and loss or relevant assets cost on an accrual basis for the benefit objects.
(2) Accounting methods of welfare after leaving office
Post-employment benefits mainly includes the basic pension insurance, supplementary pension, etc., In
accordance with the risks and obligations undertaken by the Company, the post-employment benefits
is classified as defined contribution plans and defined benefit pension plans. Defined contribution plans:
the Company shall recognize the sinking fund paid to individual entity on balance sheet date as a liability in
exchange of services from the employee in accounting period, and credited into current profits or losses or
related assets costs in accordance with the benefit objects. Defined benefit plans: the cost of providing
benefits is determined using the projected unit credit method, with actuarial valuations being carried out by
independent actuary at the interim and the annual balance sheet date. Staffs' benefit costs incurred by the
defined benefit plan of the Group are categorized as follows: (1) service cost, include current period service
cost, past-service cost and settlement gain or loss. Current period service cost means the increase of the
present value of defined benefit obligation resulted from the current period service offered by employee.
Past-service cost means the increase or decrease of the present value of defined benefit obligation resulted
from the revision of the defined benefit plans related to the prior period service offered by employee; (2)
interest costs of defined benefit plans; (3) changes related to the remeasurement of defined benefit plans
liabilities. Unless other accounting standards require or permit to
charge the employee benefits into assets cost, the Company charges (1) and (2) above into current profit or
loss, and recognized (3) above as other comprehensive income without transferring to profit or loss in
subsequent accounting periods.
(3) Accounting treatment of welfare post cancellation of labor relationship
Termination benefits: the indemnity proposal provided by the Company for employees for the
purpose of terminating labor relation with the employees before the expiry of the labor contract or
160 / 239
Qingdao Haier Co., Ltd. 2015 Annual Report
encouraging employees to accept downsizing voluntarily, when the following conditions are met,
recognize and at the same time credited into the current profit or loss the accrued liabilities arising from
the indemnity as a result of terminating labor relation with the employees: the Company has made a
formal plan for termination of employment relationship or has made an offer for voluntary redundancy
which will be implemented immediately; and the Company could not unilaterally withdraw from the
termination plan or the redundancy offer. Early retirement benefits will adopt same principles as the
termination benefit. The Company will credit the salaries and social benefits intend to pay for these early
retirees during the periods from the date of early retirement to the normal retirement date to profit or loss
of the current period when recognition conditions for accrued liabilities are met.
24. Revenue
(1) Sale of goods
Revenue from the sale of goods shall be recognized at the amount received or receivable from
buyers based on contractual or agreed prices, only when all of the following conditions are satisfied: ①
the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods have been passed to the buyer; ② the
Company retains neither continuing managerial involvement to the degree usually associated with
ownership nor effective control over the goods sold; ③ the amount of revenue can be measured
reliably; ④ it is probable that the associated economic benefits will flow to the enterprise; ⑤ the
associated costs incurred or to be incurred can be measured reliably.
Recognition process of the Company’s sales revenue: Business personnel submit sales application in
the business system according to the consumers’ orders; financial personnel review the remaining credit
of the consumers or whether the payment for goods is made in advance according to the sales
application, and notify the warehouse to handle the delivery formalities if the delivery conditions are met.
The Financial Department confirms that the major risks of property in the goods and rewards have been
transferred to the buyers upon the receipt of waybill with the consumers’ signature, and then issue sales
invoices to confirm the sales revenue.
(2) Provision of labor services
At the balance sheet date, when the outcome of a transaction involving the rendering of services can
be estimated reliably, revenue from provision of services shall be recognized using the percentage of
completion method. The Company confirms the completion progress in accordance with the ratio of
actual cost accounting for the total estimated cost. At the balance sheet date, when the outcome of the
161 / 239
Qingdao Haier Co., Ltd. 2015 Annual Report
transaction involving the rendering of services cannot be estimated reliably, it shall be dealt with in the
following ways: ① if the cost of services incurred is expected to be compensated, the revenue from the
rendering of services is recognized to the extent of actual cost incurred to date, and the relevant cost is
transferred to cost of service in profit or loss; ② if the cost of services incurred is not expected to be
compensated, the cost incurred should be included in current profit or loss, and no revenue from the
rendering of services may be recognized.
(3) Assignment of asset use rights
Revenue from usage fee arising from assignment of intangible assets (such as trademark rights,
patent rights, franchise rights, software and copyright, etc.) and the use right of other assets will be
recognized in accordance with the time and method for charge as required under relevant contract or
agreement and at the same time satisfy the conditions that the economic benefit in connection with
transaction could flow into the Company and the amount of revenue could be reliably measured.
(4) Construction contracts
Where the outcome of a construction contract can be estimated reliably at the balance sheet date,
revenues and expenses associated are recognized using the percentage of completion method. The term
―percentage of completion method‖ means a method by which the contractor recognizes its revenues and
costs in the light of the schedule of the contracted project. The Company ascertained the completion
schedule of a contract project according to the proportion of the completed total contract cost against the
expected total contract cost.
25.Government grants
(1)Types of government grants
Government grants refer to the monetary assets or non-monetary assets obtained by the Company
from the government for free, not including the investment made by the government as an owner. The
government grants are mainly divided into asset-related government grants and revenue-related
government grants.
162 / 239
Qingdao Haier Co., Ltd. 2015 Annual Report
a) Basis of determining and accounting of asset-related government grant
Asset-related government grants shall be recognized as deferred income in profit or loss for the
current period on an even basis over the useful life of the asset；Government grants measured at nominal
amount shall be recorded directly in profit and loss for the current period.
b) Basis of determining and accounting of income-related government grant
Revenue-related government grants shall be treated as follows: ① those used to compensate
relevant expenses or losses to be incurred by the enterprise in subsequent periods are recognized as
deferred income and recorded in profit or loss for the current period when such expenses are recognized;
② those used to compensate relevant expenses or losses that have been incurred by the enterprise are
recorded directly in profit or loss for the current period.
(2). Basis for determination of asset-related government grant and revenue-related government
grant
If the government grant received by the Company is used for construction or other project that forms
a long term asset, it is regarded as asset-related government grant.
If the government grant received by the Company is not asset-related, it is regarded as
revenue-related government grant.
Government grant received without clear objective shall be classified as asset-related government
grant or revenue-related government grant by:
① Government grant subject to a certain project shall be separated according to the proportion of
expenditure budget and capitalization budget, and the proportion shall be reviewed and modified if
necessary on the balance sheet date;
② Government grant shall be categorized as related to income if its usage is just subject to general
statement but specific project in relevant document.
(3) Amortization method and determination of amortization period of deferred revenue related to
government grants
Asset-related government grant received by the Company is recognized as deferred revenue and is
evenly amortized to profit or loss over the estimated useful life of the relevant asset starting from the
date the asset is available for use.
163 / 239
Qingdao Haier Co., Ltd. 2015 Annual Report
(4)Recognition of government grants
Government grant receivable is recognized at the end of period when there is clear evidence that the
conditions set out in the financial subsidy policies and regulation are fulfilled and the receipt of such
financial subsidy is assured.
Other government grants not fulfilling the above requirements are recognized upon actual receipt of
such subsidies.
26. Deferred income tax assets / deferred income tax liabilities
Deferred income tax assets and deferred income tax liabilities of the Company are recognized:
(1) Based on the difference between the carrying amount and the tax base amount of an asset or a
liability (items not recognized as assets and liabilities but their tax base is ascertained by the current tax
laws and regulation, the tax base is the difference), deferred income tax asset or deferred income tax
liability is calculated using the applicable tax rate prevailing at the expected time of recovering the
relevant asset or discharging the relevant liability.
(2) Deferred income tax asset is recognized to the extent that there is enough future profit for the
utilization of the deductible temporary difference. At the balance sheet date, if there is sufficient
evidence that there would be enough future benefit for the utilization of the deductible temporary
difference, the deferred income tax asset not previously recognized is recognized in current period. If
there is no sufficient evidence that there would be enough future taxable income for the deduction of the
deferred income tax asset, the carrying value of the deferred income tax asset is reduced.
(3) Deferred income tax liability is recognized for taxable temporary difference arising from
investments in subsidiaries and associated companies, unless the Company could control the reversal of
the temporary differences and the temporary differences would not be reversed in the foreseeable future.
For deductible temporary differences arising from investments in subsidiaries and associated companies,
deferred income tax asset is recognized if the temporary difference will be reversed in foreseeable future
and there will be sufficient future taxable profit to utilize the deductible temporary difference.
(4) No deferred income tax liability is recognized for a temporary difference arising from the
initial recognition of goodwill. No deferred income tax asset or deferred income tax liability is
recognized for the temporary differences resulting from the initial recognition of assets or liabilities due
to a transaction other than a business combination, which affects neither accounting profit nor taxable
profit (or deductible loss).
164 / 239
Qingdao Haier Co., Ltd. 2015 Annual Report
27. Lease
(1)Accounting treatment of Operating lease
① Rental payments for asset rented are amortized on a straight-line basis over the lease term
(including rent-free periods), and credited into the current expenses. Initial direct costs that are
attributable to leasing transactions paid by the Company are credited to current expense.
When the lesser bears the lease related expenses which should be undertaken by the Company, the
Company shall deduct this part of expense from the rent and amortize the net amount over the lease term
and credited to current expense.
② Rental income received from assets rented out is amortized on a straight-line basis over the
lease term (including rent-free periods), and recognized as lease income. Initial direct costs involving
leasing transactions paid by the Company are credited into current expenses, in case the amount is
significant, it will be capitalized, and are credited into current revenue on the same basis as rental
income recognized over the lease term.
When the Company bears the lease related expenses which should be undertaken by the lessee, the
Company shall deduct this part of expense from the total rent income, and amortize the rental payment
over the lease term.
(2)Accounting treatment of Finance lease
①When the Company is a lessee, the leased asset is recorded at the amounts equal to the lower of
the fair value of the leased asset and the present value of the minimum lease payments on the lease
beginning date and the long-term payables is recorded at the amounts of the minimum lease payments.
The difference between the recorded amount of the leased asset and the minimum lease payments is
accounted for as unrecognized finance charge.
The unrecognized finance charge is amortized using the effective interest method over the period of
the lease and accounted in finance charge. Initial direct costs incurred by the Company are credited in
value of leased assets.
②When the Company is a lessor, the difference between sum of the lease receivables and
unguaranteed residual value its and present value is accounted for as unrealized finance income and is
recognized as rental income over the period of the lease. Initial direct costs attributable to lease
transaction incurred by the Company shall be accounted in the initial measurement of finance lease
receivables and reduced the amount of recognized revenue during period of the lease.
28. Other significant accounting policies and accounting estimations
(1) Share repurchases
When the Company purchases its own shares to decrease its registered capital or reward its staff, it
shall be included in treasury stock against the amount actually paid.
When Company awards the purchased shares to its staff under the equity-settled share-based
payment agreement, it shall be included in capital reserve (equity premium) against the difference
165 / 239
Qingdao Haier Co., Ltd. 2015 Annual Report
between the book balance of awarded treasury stock and the staff-paid cash and capital reserve
recognized upon the granting of equity instruments.
When cancelling the treasury stock, the share capital shall be cancelled against the total face value
of the cancelled treasury stock; the treasury stock shall be eliminated against the book balance of the
cancelled treasury stock; the capital reserve (equity premium) shall be eliminated against the difference;
if the equity premium is insufficient for elimination, the retained earnings shall be adjusted accordingly.
(2) Explanations on significant accounting estimates
Judgments, estimates and assumptions shall be made to financial statements items, which could not
be measured accurately, due to the inherent uncertainties of operating activities, while applying
accounting policy. Management bases its judgments, estimates and assumptions on historical experience
and other various factors, these judgments will influence the amount of revenues, expenses, assets and
liabilities presented in financial reports and the disclosure of contingent liabilities on the balance sheet
date. However, these uncertainties may have a difference from the current estimates of the management,
and thus cause a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities. The judgments,
estimates and assumptions mentioned above shall be reviewed on a going concern basis. If the revisions
to accounting estimates only influence the current period, relevant adjustment due to the effect shall be
recognized in the current period; otherwise, in the current and future period.
On the balance sheet date, the significant fields involving judgments, estimates and assumptions
about financial report items are listed as follows:
① Estimated liability
Provision for product quality guarantee, estimated onerous contracts, and delay delivery penalties
shall be recognized in terms of contract, current knowledge and historical experience. If the contingent
event has formed a practical obligation which probably results in outflow of economic benefits from the
Company, an estimated liability shall be recognized on the basis of the best estimate of the expenditures
to settle relevant practical obligation. Recognition and measurement of the estimated liability
significantly rely on the management’s judgments in consideration of the assessment of relevant risks,
uncertainties, time value of money and other factors related to the contingent events. Among them, the
Company will undertake estimated liabilities with respect to the after-sales services provided for the
return, maintenance and installation of goods. When estimating liabilities, the Company has considered
the maintenance information in recent years, but the previous maintenance experiences may fail to
reflect the future circumstances. Any increase or decrease in this provision is likely to affect the profits
and losses of the next year.
② Provision for bad debts
The allowance method is adopted for bad debts according to accounting policies of trade
receivables. Impairment losses for receivables are assessed on the basis of recoverability, as a result of
judgments and estimates of the management. The difference between actual outcome and the previously
estimated outcome will influence the carrying value of receivables and accrual or reversal of provision
for bad debts during the period accounting estimates are changed.
166 / 239
Qingdao Haier Co., Ltd. 2015 Annual Report
③ Provision of write-down of inventories
Inventories are measured by lower of historical cost or net realizable value method according to the
accounting policies of inventories; for obsolete and unsalable inventories or whose historical costs are
higher than the net realizable, provision for write-down of inventories shall be incurred. The carrying
value of inventory shall be written down to the net realizable value on the basis of the salability of
inventories and the net realizable value. Inventory write-down shall be incurred in consideration of solid
evidence and the purpose of holding inventories and the effect of subsequent events and etc. The
difference between the actual outcome and the previously estimated outcome will influence the carrying
value of inventories and accrual or reversal of provision for write-down of inventories during the period
accounting estimates are changed.
④ Fair value of financial instruments
For financial instruments where there is no active market, the Company will determine the fair
value through a variety of valuation methods. Such valuation methods include discounted cash flow
analysis. In the valuation, the Company shall estimate the future cash flow, credit risk, market volatility
and correlation, and select the appropriate discount rate. Such related assumptions are uncertain, and
their changes may affect the fair value of financial instruments.
⑤ Impairment of available-for-sale financial assets
The determination of whether impairment loss shall be recognized in income statement for
available-for-sale financial asset is significantly depends on the judgments and assumptions of the
management. While making judgments and assumptions, it shall be take into consideration that how
much the fair value of the investment is lower than the cost, the financial position and short-term
business projection, including industry conditions, technological innovation, the credit ratings,
probability of violation and counterparts’ risks.
⑥ Provision for long-term assets impairment
On the balance sheet date, the Company shall judge whether there is any possible indication of
impairment against non-current assets other than financial assets. The intangible assets with indefinite
useful life must be tested for impairment on an annual basis as well as when there is any indication of
impairment. Other non-current assets other than financial assets shall be tested for impairment when
there is an indication showing that the carrying value is not recoverable. Impairment occurs while the
carrying value of an asset or asset group is higher than the recoverable value, which is the higher of its
fair value deducted disposal expenses and the present value of expected future cash flow. The fair value
deducted by disposal expenditure is determined in consideration that sale agreement regarding analogous
asset, and approachable market price and relevant dispose expenditures. Significant judgments regarding
the production amount, sales price, relevant operating costs of the assets (or assets group) and the
discount rate used to calculate the present value shall be made, while determining the present value of
future cash flows. Recoverable amount shall be estimated by using all accessible relevant information,
including production amount, sales price, and relevant operating costs predictions made based on
reasonable and supportive assumptions. The Company shall test for goodwill impairment at least every
167 / 239
Qingdao Haier Co., Ltd. 2015 Annual Report
year. This requires the Company to estimate the present value of future cash flows for such assets or
asset groups allocated with goodwill. When estimating the present value of future cash flows, the
Company shall not only estimate the future cash flows generated by such assets or asset groups, and
select the appropriate discount rate to determine the present value of such future cash flows.
⑦ Depreciation and amortization
Investment properties, fixed assets and intangible assets are depreciated and amortized by a
straight-line approach over their estimated useful life by taking the residual value into consideration.
Useful life shall be periodically reviewed to determine the depreciation and amortization expenses for
each reporting period and be determined on the basis of historical experience regarding analogous assets
and the expected technological innovation. Significant changes to previous accounting estimates will
result in adjustments against depreciation and amortization expenses in the future periods.
⑧ Deferred tax assets
Deferred tax asset is recognized for all the uncompensated tax losses to the extent of the amount of
deductible taxable income. In order to determine the amount of deferred tax assets, the management
needs to predict the timing and the amount of taxable profits in the future by taking into account the
influence of tax planning.
⑨ Income tax
There are many transactions and calculations undertaken during the ordinary course of business for
which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain. Whether some items are non-deductible shall be
approved by relevant tax authorities. Where the final tax outcome of these matters is different from the
carrying amount, such differences will impact the current and deferred tax.
⑩ Returned profits from sales
The Company and its subsidiaries adopt the policy of returned profits from sales for all consumers.
According to the relevant conventions in the sales agreement, the review of specific transactions, the
market situation, the pipeline inventory levels and the historical experiences, the Company and its
subsidiaries estimate and make returned profits from sales on a regular basis pursuant to the completion
of agreed assessment indexes. Provisions of returned profits from sales involve the judgment and
estimates of the management. In case of any significant changes in the previous estimates, the balance
above will have an impact on the returned profits from sales during the period when significant changes
occur.

231 / 239

risks are summarized below. The Company’s management manages and monitors these risk exposures in
order to ensure these risks are well within their respective risk limits.

The credit risk the Company exposed to mainly comes from bank deposits, notes receivables,
accounts receivables, interest receivables, other receivables and wealth management products in other
current assets.

receivables mainly refer to the accrued interest from time deposits placed with the aforesaid banks. The
Group doesn’t believe there is any significant credit risk due to defaults of its counterparties which
would cause any significant loss.
(2) Accounts receivables and notes receivables: The Company only trades with recognized and
creditworthy third parties. It is the Company’s policy that all consumers who wish to trade on credit
terms are subject to credit verification procedures. The payment terms shall be determined on a
reasonable basis. The Company monitors the balances of accounts receivables on an ongoing basis and
maintains credit insurances for significant accounts receivables due from its credit clients, so as to
ensure the Company will not expose to significant risk of bad debts.

and advances to its employees. The Company strengthened the management of these receivables and
corresponding business activities based on their historical reasons of occurrence, and continue to

currencies and assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies, so as to reduce its exposure to

exchange rates by entering into forward foreign exchange contracts.

The Company mainly faces interest rate risk from its long- and short- term bank loans and bonds
payables which are interest-bearing. Financial liabilities with floating interest rates expose the Company
to cash flow interest rate risk, while financial liabilities with fixed interest rates expose the Company to
fair value interest rate risk. The Company determines the percentage of fixed-interest rate and floating
interest rate contracts in light of the prevailing market conditions.
