6. Business combinations

6.1 Business combinations not involving enterprises under common control and goodwill
A business combination not involving enterprises under common control is a business combination in which all of the combining enterprises are not ultimately controlled by the same party or parties before and
after the combination.

The costs of business combination are the fair value of the assets paid, liabilities incurred or assumed and
equity instruments issued by the acquirer for the purpose of achieving the control rights over the acquiree.

The intermediary costs such as audit, legal services and assessment consulting costs and other related
management costs that are directly attributable to the combination by the acquirer are charged to profit or
loss in the period in which they are incurred. Direct capital issuance costs incurred in respect of equity
instruments or liabilities issued pursuant to the business combination should be charged to the respect
equity instruments or liabilities upon initial recognition of the underlying equity instruments or liabilities.

The acquiree’s identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities acquired by the acquirer in a business
combination, that meet the recognition criteria shall be measured at fair value at the acquisition date.

The consideration transferred includes the fair value of any contingent consideration. (such as earnout
arrangements with the former shareholders). After the acquisition date, the Group recognizes changes in
the fair value of contingent consideration classified as a financial liability at fair value through profit or
loss.

Where the cost of combination exceeds the acquirer’s interest in the fair value of the acquiree’s identifiable
net assets, the difference is treated as an asset and recognized as goodwill, which is measured at cost on
initial recognition. Where the cost of combination is less than the acquirer’s interest in the fair value of the
acquiree’s identifiable net assets, the remaining difference is recognized immediately in profit or loss for
the current year.

The goodwill raised because of the business combination should be separately disclosed in the consolidated financial statement and measured by the initial amount less any accumulative impairment
provision.

In a business combination achieved in stages, the Group remeasure its previously held equity interest in the
acquiree at its acquisition-date fair value and recognise the resulting gain or loss, if any, in profit or loss.

7. Basis for preparation of consolidated financial statements
The scope of consolidation in consolidated financial statements is determined on the basis of control.
Control is achieved when the Company has power over the investee; is exposed, or has rights, to variable
returns from its involvement with the investee; and has the ability to use its power to affect its returns.

For a subsidiary disposed of by the Group, the operating results and cash flows before the date of disposal
(the date when control is lost) are included in consolidated income statement and consolidated statement of
cash flows.

For a subsidiary acquired through a business combination not involving enterprises under common control,
the operating results and cash flows from the acquisition date (the date when control is obtained) are
included in consolidated income statement and consolidated statement of cash flows.
The significant accounting policies and accounting years adopted by the subsidiaries are determined based
on the uniform accounting policies and accounting years set out by the Company.
All significant intra-group balances, transactions and unrealized profits are eliminated on consolidation.

The portion of subsidiaries' equity that is not attributable to the Company is treated as non-controlling
interests and presented as "non-controlling interests" in the shareholders’ equity in consolidated balance
sheet. The portion of net profits or losses of subsidiaries for the period attributable to non-controlling
interests is presented as "non-controlling interests" in consolidated income statement below the "net profit"
line item. Total comprehensive income attributable to non-controlling shareholders is presented separately
in the consolidated income statement below the total comprehensive income line item.
When the amount of loss for the period attributable to the non-controlling shareholders of a subsidiary
exceeds the non-controlling shareholders' portion of the opening balance of owners' equity of the subsidiary, the excess amount is still allocated against non-controlling interests.
Acquisition of non-controlling interests or disposal of equity interest in a subsidiary that does not result in
the loss of control over the subsidiary is accounted for as equity transactions. The carrying amounts of the
Company's interests and non-controlling interests are adjusted to reflect the changes in their relative
interests in the subsidiary. The difference between the amount by which the non-controlling interests are
adjusted and the fair value of the consideration paid or received is adjusted to capital reserve under owners'
equity. If the capital reserve is not sufficient to absorb the difference, the excess is adjusted against
retained earnings. Other comprehensive income attributed to the non-controlling interest is reattributed to
the shareholders of the company.

A put option issued by the Group to holders of non-controlling interests that is settled in cash or other
financial instrument is recognized as a liability at the present value of the exercise price (according to the
"anticipated acquisition method"). The Group’s share of a subsidiary’s profits includes the share of the
holders of the non-controlling interests to which the Group issued a put option.

7. Basis for preparation of consolidated financial statements - (cont’d)
In cases which the Group has a Call option in addition to the Put option above, due to the anticipated
acquisition method implementation no value is given to the Call option in the consolidated financial
statements.

When the Group loses control over a subsidiary due to disposal of certain equity interest or other reasons,
any retained interest is re-measured at its fair value at the date when control is lost. The difference between
(i) the aggregate of the consideration received on disposal and the fair value of any retained interest and (ii)
the share of the former subsidiary's net assets cumulatively calculated from the acquisition date according
to the original proportion of ownership interest is recognized as investment income in the period in which
control is lost. Other comprehensive income associated with the disposed subsidiary is reclassified to
investment income in the period in which control is lost.

8. Classification and accounting methods of joint arrangement
There are two types of joint arrangements – joint operations and joint ventures. The type of joint
arrangements is determined based on the rights and obligations of joint operator to the joint arrangements
by considering the factors, such as the structure, the legal form of the arrangements, and the contractual
terms, etc. A joint operation is a joint arrangement whereby the joint operators have rights to the assets,
and obligations for the liabilities, relating to the arrangement. A joint venture is a joint arrangement
whereby the joint ventures have rights to the net assets of the arrangement.
9. Cash and cash equivalents

Cash comprises cash on hand and deposits that can be readily withdrawn on demand. Cash equivalents are
the Group's short-term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash
and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.
10. Translation of transactions and financial statements denominated in foreign currencies
10.1 Transactions denominated in foreign currencies

On initial recognition, foreign currency transactions are translated into functional currency using the spot
exchange rate prevailing at the date of transaction.

At the balance sheet date, foreign currency monetary items are translated into functional currency using the
spot exchange rates at the balance sheet date. Exchange differences arising from the differences between
the spot exchange rates prevailing at the balance sheet date and those on initial recognition or at the
previous balance sheet date are recognized in profit or loss for the period, except that (i) exchange
differences related to a specific-purpose borrowing denominated in foreign currency that qualify for
capitalization are capitalized as part of the cost of the qualifying asset during the capitalization period. (ii)
exchange differences related to hedging instruments for the purpose of hedging against foreign currency
risks are accounted for using hedge accounting.

10. Translation of transactions and financial statements denominated in foreign currencies - (cont’d)

10.1 Transactions denominated in foreign currencies - (cont’d)
When preparing financial statements involving foreign operations, if there is any foreign currency monetary items, which in substance forms part of the net investment in the foreign operations, exchange
differences arising from the changes of foreign currency are recorded as other comprehensive income, and
will be reclassified to profit or loss upon disposal of the foreign operations.
Foreign currency non-monetary items measured at historical cost are translated to the amounts in functional currency at the spot exchange rates on the dates of the transactions and the amounts in functional currency remain unchanged.

10.2 Translation of financial statements denominated in foreign currency
For the purpose of preparing consolidated financial statements, financial statements of a foreign operation
are translated from the foreign currency into RMB using the following method: assets and liabilities on the
balance sheet are translated at spot exchange rate prevailing at the balance sheet date; shareholders' equity
items, except for retained earnings, are translated at the spot exchange rates at the dates on which such
items arose; all items in the income statement as well as items reflecting the distribution of profits are
translated at average rate or at spot exchange rates on the dates of the transactions; the retained earnings
opening balance is previous year's translated retained earnings closing balance; the closing balance of
retained earnings is calculated and presented on the basis of each translated income statement and profit
distribution item. The difference between the translated assets and the aggregate of liabilities and
shareholders' equity items is recorded as other comprehensive income. Cash Flows arising from transaction
in foreign currency and the cash flows of a foreign subsidiary are translated at the spot exchange rate on
the date of the cash flow, the effect of exchange rate changes on the cash and cash equivalents is regarded
as a reconciling item and present separately in the statement “effect of foreign exchange rate changes on
the cash and cash equivalents".

The opening balances and the comparative figures of prior year are presented at the translated amounts in
the prior year's financial statements.

On disposal of the Group's entire equity interest in a foreign operation, or upon a loss of control over a
foreign operation due to disposal of certain equity interest in it or other reasons, the Group transfers the
accumulated translation differences, which are attributable to the owners' equity of the Company and
presented under other comprehensive income to profit or loss in the period in which the disposal occurs.

In case of a disposal or other reason that does not result in the Group losing control over a foreign
operation, the proportionate share of accumulated translation differences are re-attributed to non-controlling interests and are not recognized in profit and loss. For partial disposals of equity interest in
foreign operations, which are associates or joint ventures, the proportionate share of the accumulated
translation differences are reclassified to profit or loss.

11. Financial instruments

The Group recognizes a financial asset or a financial liability when it becomes a party to the contractual
provisions of the instrument. At initial recognition, the Group measures a financial asset or financial
liability at its fair value plus or minus (which is not measured at fair value through profit or loss)
transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of the financial asset or financial
liability. Initial recognition in trade receivables which do not contain a significant financing component,
shall be made according to their transaction price.

11.1 Classification and measurement of financial assets

After initial recognition, an entity shall measure a financial asset at: (a) amortised cost; (b) fair value
through other comprehensive income (“FVTOCI”); or (c) fair value through profit or loss (“FVTPL”).

11.1.1 Financial assets at amortised cost

A financial asset is measured at amortised cost if both of the following conditions are met: (a) the financial
asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold financial assets in order to collect
contractual cash flows; and (b) the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to
cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding. Such financial assets are subsequently measured at amortised cost, using effective interest method. Gains
or losses upon impairment and derecognition are recognized in profit or loss.
11.1.1.1 Effective interest method and amortised cost

Effective interest method represents the method for calculating the amortized costs and interest income or
expense of each period in accordance with the effective interest rate of financial assets or financial
liabilities (inclusive of a set of financial assets or financial liabilities). Effective interest rate represents the
rate that discounts the future cash flow over the expected subsisting period or shorter period, if appropriate,
of the financial asset or financial liability to the current carrying value of such financial asset or financial
liability.

When calculating the effective interest rate, the Group will consider the anticipated future cash flow (not
considering the future credit loss) on the basis of all contract clauses of financial assets or financial
liabilities, as well as consider all kinds of charges which are an integral part of the effective interest rate,
including transaction fees and discount or premium paid or received between both parties of financial asset
or financial liability contract.

11.1.2 Financial assets at FVTOCI

A financial asset is measured at fair value through other comprehensive income if both of the following
conditions are met: (a) the financial asset is held within a business model whose objective is achieved by
both collecting contractual cash flows and selling financial assets and (b) the contractual terms of the
financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest
on the principal amount outstanding.

A gain or loss on a financial asset measured at fair value through other comprehensive income is recognized in other comprehensive income, except for impairment gains or losses, foreign exchange gains
and losses and interest calculated using the effective interest method, until the financial asset is
derecognized or reclassified. When the financial asset is derecognized the cumulative gain or loss previously recognized in other comprehensive income is reclassified from equity to profit or loss as a
reclassification adjustment.

11.1.3 Financial assets at FVTPL

Financial assets at FVTPL are either those that are classified as financial assets at FVTPL or designated as
financial assets at FVTPL.

A financial asset is measured at FVTPL unless it is measured at amortised cost or at FVTOCI.
The Group may, at initial recognition, irrevocably designate a financial asset as measured at FVTPL if
doing so eliminates or significantly reduces a measurement or recognition inconsistency (sometimes referred to as an ‘accounting mismatch’) that would otherwise arise from measuring assets or liabilities or (未完)
