Explanatory Note

This Amendment No. 1 to Form 10-K (this “Amendment”) amends the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2019, originally filed on November 22, 2019 (the “Original 10-K”), of Adient plc (“Adient”). Adient is filing this Amendment to amend Item 15 of the Original 10-K to include the separate financial statements of Yanfeng Adient Seating Co, Ltd. (“YFAS”) as required by Rule 3-09 of Regulation S-X because YFAS was deemed significant to Adient under Rule 3-09 of Regulation S-X (the “Rule 3-09 financial statements”). The Rule 3-09 financial statements were not included in the Original 10-K because, as previously disclosed, YFAS’s fiscal year ended on December 31, 2019, after the date of the filing of the Original 10-K. The Rule 3-09 financial statements include consolidated balance sheets of YFAS as of December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017 and the related consolidated statements of income, of changes in owners’ equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2019. In accordance with Rule 3-09 of Regulation S-X, only the financial statements as of and for the years ended December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 are required to be audited. The Rule 3-09 financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2017 are unaudited. The Rule 3-09 financial statements were prepared and provided to Adient by YFAS.

This Amendment should be read in conjunction with the Original 10-K. The Original 10-K has not been amended or updated to reflect events occurring after November 22, 2019, except as specifically set forth in this Amendment.

Report of Independent Auditors

To the Board of Directors of Yanfeng Adient Seating Co., Ltd.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Yanfeng Adient Seating Co., Ltd. and its subsidiaries which comprise the consolidated balance sheets as of 31 December 2019 and 2018, and the related consolidated statements of income, of changes in owners’ equity and of cash flow for the years then ended.

Management’s Responsibility for the Consolidated Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with the requirements of Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises in the People’s Republic of China; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditor’s Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free from material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. The procedures selected depend on our judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, we consider internal control relevant to the Company’s preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Opinion

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Yanfeng Adient Seating Co., Ltd. and its subsidiaries as of 31 December 2019 and 2018, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with the requirements of Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises in the People’s Republic of China.

Emphasis of Matter

Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises in the People’s Republic of China vary in certain significant respects from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Information relating to the nature and effect of such differences is presented in Note 14 to the consolidated financial statements.

Other Matter

The accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Yanfeng Adient Seating Co., Ltd. and its subsidiaries as of 31 December 2017, and the related consolidated statements of income, of changes in owners’ equity and of cash flow for the year then ended are presented for purposes of complying with Rule 3-09 of SEC Regulation S-X; however, Rule 3-09 does not require the 2017 financial statements to be audited and they are therefore not covered by this report.

(1) Accounting year
The Company’s accounting year starts on 1 January and ends on 31 December.
(2) Recording currency
The Company’s recording currency is Renminbi (RMB). The recording currency of the Company’s subsidiaries is determined based on the primary economic environment in which they operate. The recording currency of the Company’s domestic subsidiaries is RMB and the recording currency of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries is local currency. The financial statements are presented in RMB.
(3) Foreign currency translation
(a) Foreign currency transactions
Foreign currency transactions are translated into recording currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions.
At the balance sheet date, monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are translated into recording currency using the spot exchange rates on the balance sheet date. Exchange differences arising from these translations are recognised in profit or loss for the current period, except for those attributable to foreign currency borrowings that have been taken out specifically for acquisition or construction of qualifying assets, which are capitalised as part of the cost of those assets. Non-monetary items denominated in foreign currencies that are measured at historical costs are translated at the balance sheet date using the spot exchange rates at the date of the transactions. The effect of exchange rate changes on cash is presented separately in the cash flow statement.
(b) Translation of foreign currency financial statements
The asset and liability items in the balance sheets for overseas operations are translated at the spot exchange rates on the balance sheet date. Among the owners’ equity items, the items other than “undistributed profits” are translated at the spot exchange rates of the transaction dates. The income and expense items in the income statements of overseas operations are translated at the spot exchange rates of the transaction dates. The differences arising from the above translation are presented in other comprehensive income. The cash flows of overseas operations are translated at the spot exchange rates on the dates of the cash flows. The effect of exchange rate changes on cash is presented separately in the cash flow statement.

(5) Financial instruments (applicable for 2019)
A financial instrument is any contract that gives rise to a financial asset of one entity and a financial liability or equity instrument of another entity. A financial asset or a financial liability is recognised when the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
(a) Financial assets
(i) Classification and measurement
Based on the business model for managing the financial assets and the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial assets, financial assets are classified as: (1) financial assets at amortised cost; (2) financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income; (3) financial assets at fair value through profit or loss.
Financial assets are initially recognised at fair value. For financial assets at fair value through profit and loss, the related transaction costs are directly recognised in profit or loss. For other financial assets, the related transaction costs are included in initially recognised amounts. Accounts receivable or notes receivable arising from sales of products or rendering of services (excluding or without regard to significant financing components) are initially recognised at the consideration that is entitled to be charged by the Group as expected.
Debt instruments
The debt instruments held by the Group refer to the instruments that meet the definition of financial liabilities from the perspective of the issuer, and are measured in the following three ways:
Measured at amortised cost:
The objective of the Group’s business model is to hold the financial assets to collect the contractual cash flows, and the contractual cash flow characteristics are consistent with a basic lending arrangement, which gives rise on specified dates to the contractual cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding. The interest income of such financial assets is recognised using the effective interest method. Such financial assets mainly comprise cash at bank and on hand, notes receivable, accounts receivable, other receivables, debt investments and long-term receivables, etc. Debt investments and long-term receivables that are due within one year (inclusive) as from the balance sheet date are included in the current portion of non-current assets; debt investments with maturities of no more than one year (inclusive) at the time of acquisition are included in other current assets.

(i) Classification and measurement (Cont’d)
Measured at fair value through other comprehensive income:
The objective of the Group’s business model is to hold the financial assets to both collect the contractual cash flows and sell such financial assets, and the contractual cash flow characteristics are consistent with a basic lending arrangement. Such financial assets are measured at fair value through other comprehensive income, except for the impairment gains or losses, foreign exchange gains and losses, and interest income calculated using the effective interest method which are recognised in profit or loss for the current period. The financial assets include receivables financing and other debt investments. Other debt investments that are due within one year (inclusive) as from the balance sheet date are included in the current portion of non-current assets; other debt investments with maturities of no more than one year (inclusive) at the time of acquisition are included in other current assets.
Measured at fair value through profit or loss:
Debt instruments held by the Group that are not classified as those at amortised cost, or those measured at fair value through other comprehensive income, are measured at fair value through profit or loss and included in financial assets held for trading. At initial recognition, the Group designates a portion of financial assets as at fair value through profit or loss to eliminate or significantly reduce an accounting mismatch. Financial assets that are due over one year (inclusive) as from the balance sheet date and are expected to be held over one year are included in other non-current financial assets.
Equity instruments
Investments in equity instruments, over which the Group has no control, joint control or significant influence, are measured at fair value through profit or loss under financial assets held for trading; investments in equity instruments expected to be held over one year as from the balance sheet date are included in other non-current financial assets.<br><br>In addition, a portion of certain investments in equity instruments not held for trading are designated as financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income under investments in other equity instruments. The relevant dividend income of such financial assets is recognised in profit or loss for the current period.

(a) Financial assets (Cont’d)
(ii) Impairment
Loss provision for financial assets at amortised cost, investments in debt instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income, as well as financial guarantee contracts is recognised on the basis of expected credit losses (“ECL”).
Giving consideration to reasonable and supportable information on past events, current conditions and forecasts of future economic conditions, as well as the default risk weight, the Group recognises the ECL as the probability-weighted amount of the present value of the difference between the cash flows receivable from the contract and the cash flows expected to collect.
As at each balance sheet date, the ECL of financial instruments at different stages are measured respectively. 12-month ECL provision is recognised for financial instruments in Stage 1 that have not had a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition; lifetime ECL provision is recognised for financial instruments in Stage 2 that have had a significant increase in credit risk yet without credit impairment since initial recognition; and lifetime ECL provision is recognised for financial instruments in Stage 3 that have had credit impairment since initial recognition.
For the financial instruments with lower credit risk on the balance sheet date, the Group assumes there is no significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition and recognises the 12-month ECL provision.
For the financial instruments in Stage 1, Stage 2 and with lower credit risk, the Group calculates the interest income by applying the effective interest rate to the gross carrying amount (before deduction of the impairment provision). For the financial instrument in Stage 3, the interest income is calculated by applying the effective interest rate to the amortised cost (after deduction of the impairment provision from the gross carrying amount).
For notes receivable, accounts receivable and receivables financing arising from sales of goods or rendering of services in the ordinary course of the activities, the Group measures the loss provision based on the lifetime ECL regardless of whether there exists a significant financing component.
In case the ECL of an individually assessed financial asset cannot be evaluated with reasonable cost, the Group divides the receivables into certain groupings based on credit risk characteristics, and calculates the ECL for the groupings.

(ii) Impairment (Cont’d)
For notes receivable and receivables financing arising from sales of goods or rendering of services in the ordinary course of the activities, and receivables that are classified into groupings, the Group prepares the cross-reference between the number of overdue days and the lifetime ECL rate, and calculates the ECL with consideration to historical credit loss experience, current conditions and forecasts of future economic conditions. For notes receivable and receivables financing other than those mentioned above and other receivables that are classified into groupings, the Group calculates the ECL through default risk exposure and the 12-month/lifetime ECL rate, on the basis of historical credit losses experience, the current conditions and forecasts of future economic conditions.
The Group recognises the loss provision made or reversed into profit or loss for the current period. For debt instruments held at fair value through other comprehensive income, the Group adjusts other comprehensive income while the impairment loss or gain is recognised in profit or loss for the current period.
(iii) Derecognition
A financial asset is derecognised when: (i) the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire, (ii) the financial asset has been transferred and the Group transfers substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset to the transferee, or (iii) the financial asset has been transferred and the Group has not retained control of the financial asset, although the Group neither transfers nor retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset.<br><br>When a financial asset is derecognised, the difference between the carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received and the cumulative changes in fair value that are previously recognised directly in other comprehensive income is recognised in profit or loss for the current period, except for those as investments in other equity instruments, the difference aforementioned is recognised in retained earnings instead.
(b) Financial liabilities
Financial liabilities are classified as financial liabilities at amortised cost and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss at initial recognition.
Financial liabilities of the Group mainly comprise financial liabilities at amortised cost, including notes payable, accounts payable, other payables, borrowings, bonds payable, etc. Such financial liabilities are initially recognised at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred, and subsequently measured using the effective interest method. Financial liabilities that are due within one year (inclusive) are classified as current liabilities; those with maturities over one year but are due within one year (inclusive) as from the balance sheet date are classified as current portion of non-current liabilities. Others are classified as non-current liabilities.
A financial liability is derecognised or partly derecognised when the underlying present obligation is discharged or partly discharged. The difference between the carrying amount of the derecognised part of the financial liability and the consideration paid is recognised in profit or loss for the current period.

(5) Financial assets (applicable for 2019) (Cont’d)
(c) Determination of fair value of financial instruments
The fair value of a financial instrument that is traded in an active market is determined at the quoted price in the active market. The fair value of a financial instrument that is not traded in an active market is determined by using a valuation technique. In valuation, the Group adopts valuation techniques applicable in the current situation and supported by adequate available data and other information, selects inputs with the same characteristics as those of assets or liabilities considered in relevant transactions of assets or liabilities by market participants, and gives priority to the use of relevant observable inputs. When relevant observable inputs are not available or feasible, unobservable inputs are adopted.
(6) Financial assets (applicable for 2018 and 2017)
Financial assets are classified into the following categories at initial recognition: financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, receivables, available-for-sale financial assets and held-to-maturity investments. The classification of financial assets depends on the Group’s intention and ability to hold the financial assets. The financial assets held by the Group are mainly receivables.
(a) Receivables
Receivables, including notes receivables, accounts receivables and other receivables, are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market (Note 4(7)).
(b) Recognition and measurement
Financial assets are recognised at fair value on the balance sheet when the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the financial instrument. In the case of financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, the related transaction costs incurred at the time of acquisition are recognised in profit or loss for the current period. For other financial assets, transaction costs that are attributable to acquisition of the financial assets are included in their initially recognised amounts. A financial asset is derecognised when the contractual rights to receive the cash flows from the financial asset have expired, or all the substantial risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset have been transferred. Receivables are subsequently measured at amortised cost by using the effective interest method.
(c) Impairment of financial assets
The Group assesses the carrying amounts of financial assets other than those at fair value through profit or loss at each balance sheet date. If there is objective evidence that a financial asset is impaired, an impairment loss is provided for.
When an impairment loss on a financial asset carried at amortised cost has occurred, the amount of the impairment loss is provided for at the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of its estimated future cash flows (excluding future credit losses that have not been incurred). If there is objective evidence that the value of the financial asset recovered and the recovery is related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognised, the previously recognised impairment loss is reversed and the amount of reversal is recognised in profit or loss.

(7) Receivables
Receivables comprise notes receivables, accounts receivables and other receivables. Accounts receivables arising from sale of goods or rendering of services are initially recognised at fair value of the contractual payments from the buyers or service recipients.
Receivables with amounts that are individually significant are subject to separate assessment for impairment. If there exists objective evidence that the Group will not be able to collect the amount under the original terms, a provision for bad debts of that receivable is made at the difference between its carrying amount and the present value of its estimated future cash flows.
Receivables with amounts that are not individually significant and those receivables that have been individually assessed for impairment and have not been found impaired are classified into certain groupings based on their credit risk characteristics. Provision for bad debts is determined based on the historical loss experience for groupings of receivables with similar credit risk characteristics, taking into consideration of the current circumstances.
When the Group transfers the accounts receivables to the financial institutions without recourse, the difference between the proceeds received from the transaction and their carrying amounts and the related taxes is recognised in profit or loss for the current period. (8) Inventories
--- ---
Inventories include raw materials, work in progress and finished goods, and are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value.
Cost is determined using planned cost method. Cost of inventories used or sold is carried forward at the end of the month to carry the cost variance it should be borne, and the planned cost is adjusted to actual cost. The cost of finished goods and work in progress comprise raw materials, direct labour and systematically allocated production overhead based on the normal production capacity.
Provision for decline in the value of inventories is determined at the excess amount of the carrying amounts of the inventories over their net realisable value. Net realisable value is determined based on the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated costs to completion and estimated costs necessary to make the sale and related taxes.
The Group adopts the perpetual inventory system.

(9) Long-term equity investments
Long-term equity investments comprise the Group’s long-term equity investments in its joint ventures and associates.
(a) Joint ventures and associates
A joint venture is a joint arrangement which is structured through a separate vehicle over which the Group has joint control together with other parties and only has rights to the net assets of the arrangement based on legal forms, contractual terms and other facts and circumstances; An associate is the investee over which the Group has significant influence on its financial and operating policy decisions.
Investments in joint ventures and associates are accounted for using the equity method. Where the initial investment cost exceeds the Group’s share of the fair value of the investee’s identifiable net assets at the time of acquisition, the investment is initially measured at that cost. Where the initial investment cost is less than the Group’s share of the fair value of the investee’s identifiable net assets at the time of acquisition, the difference is included in profit or loss for the current period and the cost of the long-term equity investment is adjusted upwards accordingly.
Under the equity method of accounting, the Group recognises the investment income according to its share of net profit or loss of the investee. The Group does not recognise further losses when the carrying amounts of the long-term equity investment together with any long-term interests that, in substance, form part of the Group’s net investment in investees are reduced to zero. However, if the Group has obligations for additional losses and the criteria with respect to recognition of provisions are satisfied, the Group continues recognising the investment losses and the provisions at the amount it expects to undertake. The Group’s share of the changes in investee’s owner's equity other than those arising from the net profit or loss, other comprehensive income and profit distribution is recognised in capital surplus with a corresponding adjustment to the carrying amounts of the long-term equity investment. The carrying amount of the investment is reduced by the Group’s share of the profit distribution or cash dividends declared by the investees. Unrealised gains or losses on transactions between the Group and its investees are eliminated to the extent of the Group’s equity interest in the investees, based on which the investment income or losses are recognised. Any losses resulting from transactions between the Group and its investees, which are attributable to asset impairment losses are not eliminated.

(10) Investment properties
Investment properties, including land use rights that have already been leased out, buildings that are held for the purpose of leasing and buildings that are being constructed or developed for future use for leasing, are measured initially at cost. Subsequent expenditures incurred in relation to an investment property are included in the cost of the investment property when it is probable that the associated economic benefits will flow to the Group and their costs can be reliably measured; otherwise, the expenditures are recognised in profit or loss for the period in which they are incurred.
Investment properties are subsequently measured using the cost model and are depreciated or amortised to their estimated residual values over their estimated useful lives. The estimated useful lives, the estimated residual values expressed as a percentage of cost and the annual depreciation (amortisation) rates of investment properties are as follows:
Estimated useful lives Estimated residual values Annual<br><br>depreciation rates
Land use rights 50 years 0% 2%
Buildings 20 years 0% 5%
When an investment property is transferred to owner-occupied properties, it is reclassified as fixed asset or intangible asset with the carrying amount at the date of the transfer. When an owner-occupied property is transferred out for earning rentals or for capital appreciation, the fixed asset or intangible asset is transferred to investment properties with the carrying amount at the date of the transfer.
The estimated useful life and the estimated residual value of an investment property and the depreciation (amortisation) method applied to the asset are reviewed, and adjusted as appropriate at each year-end.
An investment property is derecognised on disposal or when the investment property is permanently withdrawn from use and no future economic benefits are expected from its disposal. The net amount of proceeds from sale, transfer, retirement or damage of an investment property after its carrying amount and related taxes and expenses is recognised in profit or loss for the current period.

(11) Fixed assets
Fixed assets comprise buildings, machinery and equipment, motor vehicles, computers and electronic equipment and office equipment and tooling. Fixed assets purchased or constructed by the Group are initially measured at cost at the time of acquisition. Fixed assets contributed by the investor are initially recorded at their approved value upon its contribution to the Company.
Subsequent expenditures incurred for a fixed asset are included in the cost of the fixed asset when it is probable that the associated economic benefits will flow to the Group and the related cost can be reliably measured. The carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognised. All the other subsequent expenditures are recognised in profit or loss for the period in which they are incurred.
Fixed assets are depreciated using the straight-line method to allocate the cost of the assets to their estimated residual values over their estimated useful lives. For the fixed assets that have been provided for impairment loss, the related depreciation charge is prospectively determined based upon the adjusted carrying amounts over their remaining useful lives.
The estimated useful lives, the estimated residual values expressed as a percentage of cost and the annual depreciation rates of fixed assets are as follows:
Estimated useful lives Estimated residual values Annual<br><br>depreciation rates
Buildings 5-20 years 0%-10% 4.50%-20.00%
Machinery and equipment 3-15 years 0%-5% 6.33%-33.33%
Motor vehicles 3-6 years 0%-5% 15.83%-33.33%
Computers and electronic<br><br>equipment and office<br><br>equipment 3-7 years 0%-5% 13.57%-33.33%
Tooling 3-5 years 0%-5% 19.00%-33.33%
The estimated useful life and the estimated residual value of a fixed asset and the depreciation method applied to the asset are reviewed, and adjusted as appropriate at each year-end.
A fixed asset is derecognised on disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. The amount of proceeds from disposals on sale, transfer, retirement or damage of a fixed asset net of its carrying amount and related taxes and expenses is recognised in profit or loss for the current period.

(12) Construction in progress
Construction in progress is measured at actual cost. Actual cost comprises construction costs, installation costs, borrowing costs that are eligible for capitalisation and other costs necessary to bring the fixed assets ready for their intended use. Construction in progress is transferred to fixed assets when the assets are ready for their intended use, and depreciation is charged starting from the following month.
(13) Intangible assets
Intangible assets include land use rights, patent rights and non-patented technology and software, and are measured at cost. Intangible assets also include identifiable assets acquired from business combinations involving enterprises not under common control, such as customer relationships, and are measured at fair value at the time of acquisition.
(a) Land use rights
Land use rights are amortised on the straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. If the acquisition costs of the land use rights and the buildings located thereon cannot be reasonably allocated between the land use rights and the buildings, all of the acquisition costs are recognised as fixed assets.
(b) Patent rights and non-patented technology
Patent rights and non-patented technology are amortised on a straight-line basis over the patent protection period as stipulated by the laws.
(c) Software
Software is amortised on a straight-line basis over the period as stipulated by law.
(d) Customer relationship
Customer relationship acquired from business combination involving enterprises not under common control are amortised over their beneficial periods.
(e) Periodical review of useful life and amortisation method
For an intangible asset with a finite useful life, review of its useful life and amortisation method is performed at each year-end, with adjustment made as appropriate.

The expenditure on an internal research and development project is classified into expenditure on the research phase and expenditure on the development phase based on its nature and whether there is material uncertainty that the research and development activities can form an intangible asset at the end of the project.
Expenditure on the research phase is recognised in profit or loss in the period in which it is incurred; expenditure on the development phase is capitalised only if all of the following conditions are satisfied:<br><br><br><br>•it is technically feasible to complete the intangible asset so that it will be available for use or sale;<br><br>•management intends to complete the intangible asset and use or sell it;<br><br>•it can be demonstrated how the intangible asset will generate economic benefits;<br><br>•there are adequate technical, financial and other resources to complete the development and the ability to use or sell the intangible asset; and<br><br>•the expenditure attributable to the intangible asset during its development phase can be reliably measured.<br><br><br><br>Other development expenditures that do not meet the conditions above are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they are incurred. Development costs previously recognised as expenses are not recognised as an asset in a subsequent period. Capitalised expenditure on the development phase is presented as development costs in the balance sheet and transferred to intangible assets at the date that the asset is ready for its intended use.
(15) Goodwill
Goodwill is recognised at the excess of the cost of a business combination involving enterprises not under common control over the interest in the fair value of the acquirees’ identifiable net assets acquired in the business combination as at the acquisition date.
(16) Long-term prepaid expenses
Long-term prepaid expenses include the expenditure for improvements to fixed assets held under operating leases, and other expenditures that have been incurred but should be recognised as expenses over more than one year in the current and subsequent periods. Long-term prepaid expenses are amortised on the straight-line basis over the expected beneficial period and are presented at actual expenditure net of accumulated amortisation.

(17) Impairment of long-term assets
Fixed assets, construction in progress, intangible assets with finite useful lives, long-term equity investments in joint ventures and associates and long-term prepaid expenses are tested for impairment if there is any indication that the assets may be impaired at the balance sheet date; intangible assets that are not yet available for their intended use are tested for impairment at least annually, irrespective of whether there is any indication of impairment. If the result of the impairment test indicates that the recoverable amount of an asset is less than its carrying amount, a provision for impairment and an impairment loss are recognised for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount 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 recognised 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 that is separately presented in the financial statements is tested at least annually for impairment, irrespective of whether there is any indication that it may be impaired. In conducting the test, the carrying value of goodwill is allocated to the related asset group or groups of asset groups which are expected to benefit from the synergies of the business combination. If the result of the test indicates that the recoverable amount of an asset group or a group of asset groups, including the allocated goodwill, is lower than its carrying amount, the corresponding impairment loss is recognised. The impairment loss is first deducted from the carrying amount of goodwill that is allocated to the asset group or group of asset groups, and then deducted from the carrying amounts of other assets within the asset group or group of asset groups in proportion to the carrying amounts of assets other than goodwill.
Once the above asset impairment loss is recognised, it will not be reversed for the value recovered in the subsequent periods.
(18) Borrowing costs
The borrowing costs that are directly attributable to acquisition and construction of an asset that needs a substantially long period of time for its intended use commence to be capitalised and recorded as part of the cost of the asset when expenditures for the asset and borrowing costs have been incurred, and the activities relating to the acquisition and construction that are necessary to prepare the asset for its intended use have commenced. The capitalisation of borrowing costs ceases when the asset under acquisition or construction becomes ready for its intended use and the borrowing costs incurred thereafter are recognised in profit or loss for the current period. Capitalisation of borrowing costs is suspended during periods in which the acquisition or construction of an asset is interrupted abnormally and the interruption lasts for more than 3 months, until the acquisition or construction is resumed.
(19) Borrowings (applicable for 2018 and 2017)
Borrowings are recognised initially at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred, and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Borrowings of which the period is within one year (inclusive) are classified as the short-term borrowings, and the others are classified as long-term borrowings.

(20) Employee benefits
Employee benefits refer to all forms of consideration or compensation given by the Group in exchange for service rendered by employees or for termination of employment relationship, which include short-term employee benefits and post-employment benefits.
(a) Short-term employee benefits
Short-term employee benefits include wages or salaries, bonus, allowances and subsidies, staff welfare, premiums or contributions on medical insurance, work injury insurance and maternity insurance, housing funds, union running costs and employee education costs, short-term paid absences and etc. The short-term employee benefits actually occurred are recognised as a liability in the accounting period in which the service is rendered by the employees, with a corresponding charge to the profit or loss for the current period or the cost of relevant assets. Non-monetary benefits are measured at fair value.
(b) Post-employment benefits
The Group classifies post-employment benefit plans as defined contribution plans. Defined contribution plans are post-employment benefit plans under which the Group pays fixed contributions into a separate fund and will have no obligation to pay further contributions. During the reporting period, the Group's post-employment benefits mainly include the premiums or contributions on basic pensions and unemployment insurance, both of which belong to defined contribution plans.
Basic pensions
The Group’s employees participate in the basic pension plan set up and administered by local authorities of Ministry of Human Resource and Social Security. Monthly payments of premiums on the basic pensions are calculated according to the bases and percentage prescribed by the relevant local authorities. When employees retire, the relevant local authorities are obliged to pay the basic pensions to them. The amounts based on the above calculations are recognised as liabilities in the accounting period in which the service has been rendered by the employees, with a corresponding charge to the profit or loss for the current period or the cost of relevant assets.
(c) Termination benefits
The Group provides compensation for terminating the employment relationship with employees before the end of the employment contracts or as an offer to encourage employees to accept voluntary redundancy before the end of the employment contracts. The Group recognises a liability arising from compensation for termination of the employment relationship with employees, with a corresponding charge to profit or loss for the current period at the earlier of the following dates: 1) when the Group cannot unilaterally withdraw an employment termination plan or a curtailment proposal; 2) when the Group recognises costs or expenses for a restructuring that involves the payment of termination benefits.

(21) Provisions
Provisions for product warranties and etc. are recognised when the Group has a present obligation, it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation, and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably.
A provision is initially measured at the best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the related present obligation. Factors surrounding a contingency, such as the risks, uncertainties and the time value of money, are taken into account as a whole in reaching the best estimate of a provision. Where the effect of the time value of money is material, the best estimate is determined by discounting the related future cash outflows. The increase in the discounted amount of the provision arising from passage of time is recognised as interest expense.
The carrying amount of provisions is reviewed at each balance sheet date and adjusted to reflect the current best estimate.
The provisions expected to be settled within one year since the balance sheet date are classified as current liabilities.
(22) Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities
Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are calculated and recognised based on the differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts (temporary differences). Deferred tax asset is recognised for the deductible losses that can be carried forward to subsequent years for deduction of the taxable profit in accordance with the tax laws. No deferred tax liability is recognised for a temporary difference arising from the initial recognition of goodwill. No deferred tax asset or deferred tax liability is recognised 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). At the balance sheet date, deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realised or the liability is settled.
Deferred tax assets are only recognised for deductible temporary differences, deductible losses and tax credits to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available in the future against which the deductible temporary differences, deductible losses and tax credits can be utilised. Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for temporary differences arising from investments in subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures, except where the Group is able to control the timing of reversal of the temporary difference, and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future. When it is probable that the temporary differences arising from investments in subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures will be reversed in the foreseeable future and that the taxable profit will be available in the future against which the temporary differences can be utilised, the corresponding deferred tax assets are recognised.
---
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when:<br><br>•the deferred taxes are related to the same tax payer within the Group and the same taxation authority; and,<br><br>•that tax payer within the Group has a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets against current tax liabilities.

(23) Revenue recognition
The amount of revenue is determined in accordance with the fair value of the consideration received or receivable for the sale of goods and services in the ordinary course of the Group’s activities. Revenue is stated net of discounts, rebates and returns.
Revenue is recognised when it’s probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the Group, the related revenue can be reliably measured, and the specific criteria of revenue recognition have been met for each type of the Group’s activities as described below:
(a) Sale of goods
The Group manufactures and sells automobile seating products. Revenue is recognised when the Group has delivered the products to the location specified in the sales contract and the buyer has confirmed the acceptance of the products. Upon delivery of the products, the buyer has the right to sell the products and takes the risks of any obsolescence and loss of the products.
(b) Rendering of services
Revenue is recognised when service is completed and it is probable that the associated economic benefits will flow to the Group and its total revenue and cost can be reliably measured.
(c) Developing of projects
Revenue is recognised when the project is completed and is checked and accepted by the clients, and it’s probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the Group, the related revenue can be reliably measured.
(24) Government grants
Government grants refer to the monetary or non-monetary assets obtained by the Group from the government, including tax return, financial subsidy and etc.
Government grants are recognised when the grants can be received and the Group can comply with all attached conditions. If a government grant is a monetary asset, it will be measured at the amount received or receivable. If a government grant is a non-monetary asset, it will be measured at its fair value. If it is unable to obtain its fair value reliably, it will be measured at its nominal amount.
Government grants related to assets refer to government grants which are obtained by the Group for the purposes of purchase, construction or acquisition of the long-term assets. Government grants related to income refer to the government grants other than those related to assets.

(24) Government grants (Cont’d)
Government grants related to assets are either deducted against the carrying amount of the assets, or recorded as deferred income and recognised in profit or loss on a systemic basis over the useful lives of the assets. Government grants related to income that compensate the future costs, expenses or losses are recorded as deferred income and recognised in profit or loss, or deducted against related costs, expenses or losses in reporting the related expenses; government grants related to income that compensate the incurred costs, expenses or losses are recognised in profit or loss, or deducted against related costs, expenses or losses directly in current period. The Group applies the presentation method consistently to the similar government grants in the financial statements.
Government grants that are related to ordinary activities are included in operating profit, otherwise, they are recorded in non-operating income or expenses.
(25) Leases
A lease that transfers substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of an asset is a finance lease. An operating lease is a lease other than a finance lease.
Lease payments under an operating lease are recognised on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease, and are either capitalised as part of the cost of related assets, or charged as an expense for the current period.
Rental income from an operating lease is recognised on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease.
(26) Profit distribution
Proposed profit distribution is recognised as a liability in the period in which it is approved by the Board of Directors’ meeting.
(27) Preparation of consolidated financial statements
The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of the Company and all of its subsidiaries.
Subsidiaries are consolidated from the date on which the Group obtains control and are de-consolidated from the date that such control ceases. For a subsidiary that is acquired in a business combination involving enterprises under common control, it is included in the consolidated financial statements from the date when it, together with the Company, comes under common control of the ultimate controlling party. The portion of the net profits realised before the combination date is presented separately in the consolidated income statement.
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, where the accounting policies and the accounting periods of the Company and subsidiaries are inconsistent, the financial statements of the subsidiaries are adjusted in accordance with the accounting policies and the accounting period of the Company. For subsidiaries acquired from business combinations involving enterprises not under common control, the individual financial statements of the subsidiaries are adjusted based on the fair value of the identifiable net assets at the acquisition date.

(27) Preparation of consolidated financial statements (Cont’d)
All significant intra-group balances, transactions and unrealised profits are eliminated in the consolidated financial statements. The portion of subsidiaries’ owners' equity and the portion of subsidiaries’ net profits and losses and comprehensive incomes for the period not attributable to the Company are recognised as minority interests, net profit attributed to minority interests and total comprehensive incomes attributed to minority interests, and presented separately in the consolidated financial statements under owners’ equity, net profits and total comprehensive income respectively. Unrealised profits and losses resulting from the sale of assets by the Company to its subsidiaries are fully eliminated against net profit attributable to owners of the parent. Unrealised profits and losses resulting from the sale of assets by a subsidiary to the Company are eliminated and allocated between net profit attributable to owners of the parent and net profit attributed to minority interests in accordance with the allocation proportion of the parent in the subsidiary. Unrealised profits and losses resulting from the sale of assets by one subsidiary to another are eliminated and allocated between net profit attributable to owners of the parent and net profit attributed to minority interests in accordance with the allocation proportion of the parent in the subsidiary.
If the accounting treatment of a transaction is inconsistent in the financial statements at the Group level and at the Company or its subsidiary level, adjustment will be made from the perspective of the Group.
(28) Critical accounting estimates and judgments
The Group continually evaluates the critical accounting estimates and key judgments applied based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.
(a) Critical accounting estimates and key assumptions
The critical accounting estimates and key assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are outlined below:
(i) Classification of financial assets (applicable for 2019)
Significant judgements made by the Group in the classification of financial assets include business model and analysis on contractual cash flow characteristics.
The Group determines the business model for financial asset management on the grouping basis, and factors to be considered include the methods for evaluating financial asset performance and reporting the financial asset performance to key management personnel, the risks affecting financial asset performance and corresponding management methods, the ways in which related business management personnel are remunerated, etc.
When assessing whether contractual cash flow characteristics of financial assets are consistent with basic lending arrangement, key judgements made by the Group include: the possibility of changes in time schedule or amount of the principal during the lifetime due to reasons such as repayment in advance; whether interest only include time value of money, credit risks, other basic lending risks and considerations for costs and profits; for example, whether the repayment in advance reflects the principal outstanding and corresponding interest and reasonable compensation paid for early termination of the contract.

(a) Critical accounting estimates and key assumptions (Cont’d)
(ii) Judgement on significant increase in credit risk (applicable for 2019)
Judgement made by the Group for significant increase in credit risk is mainly based on whether one or more of the following indicators change significantly: business environment of the debtor, internal and external credit rating, significant changes in actual or expected operating results, significant decrease in value of collateral or credit rate of guarantor, etc.
Judgement made by the Group for the occurrence of credit impairment is mainly based on whether one or more of the following conditions is/are satisfied: the debtor is suffering significant financial difficulties, the debtor is undergoing other debt restructuring, or the debtor probably goes bankrupt, etc.
(b) Critical judgments in applying the accounting policies
(i) Accounting estimates on impairment of goodwill
The Group tests annually whether goodwill has suffered any impairment. The recoverable amount of asset groups and groups of asset groups is the present value of the future cash flows expected to be derived from them. These calculations require use of estimates.
If management revises the gross margin that is used in the calculation of the future cash flows of asset groups and groups of asset groups, and the revised gross margin is lower than the one currently used, the Group would need to recognise further impairment against goodwill.
If management revises the pre-tax discount rate applied to the discounted cash flows, and the revised pre-tax discount rate is higher than the one currently applied, the Group may need to recognise impairment against goodwill.
If the actual gross margin/pre-tax discount rate is higher/lower than management’s estimates, the impairment loss of goodwill previously provided for is not allowed to be reversed by the Group.
(ii) Income taxes
The Group is subject to income taxes in numerous jurisdictions. There are some transactions and events for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain during the ordinary course of business. Significant judgement is required from the Group in determining the provision for income taxes in each of these jurisdictions. Where the final tax outcome of these matters is different from the amounts that were initially recorded, such differences will impact the income tax and deferred tax provisions in the period in which such determination is made.
(iii) ECL measurement (applicable for 2019)
The Group calculates ECL through default risk exposure and ECL rate, and determines the ECL rate based on default probability and default loss rate. In determining the ECL rate, the Company uses data such as internal historical credit loss experience, etc., and adjusts historical data based on current conditions and forward-looking information. When considering forward-looking information, the indicators used by the Group include the risk of economic downturn,, external market environment, technological environment and changes in customer situations. The Group regularly monitors and reviews assumptions related to the calculation of ECL. In 2019, there was no significant change in the above estimation techniques and key assumptions.

The recoverable amount of asset groups and groups of asset groups is calculated using the estimated cash flows determined according to the three-year budget approved by management, together with the constant growth rates thereafter. The latter are set out in the following table.
--- ---
The main assumptions applied in calculating discounted future cash flows are as follows:
Growth rate 17%
Gross margin 16%
Discount rate 17%
The growth rates mentioned above are the weighted average growth rates applied by management to extrapolate cash flows beyond the three-year period, and the growth rates are consistent with those estimated in the industry reports, and do not exceed the long-term average growth rates of each product. Management determines budgeted gross margin based on past experience and forecast on future market development. The discount rates used by management are the pre-tax interest rates that are able to reflect the risks specific to the related asset groups and groups of asset groups. The above assumptions are used to assess the recoverable amount of each asset group and group of asset groups within the corresponding operating segment.

--- ---
After the outbreak of Coronavirus Disease 2019 (“COVID-19 outbreak”) in early 2020, a series of precautionary and control measures have been and continued to be implemented across the country/region. The Group will pay close attention to the development of the COVID-19 outbreak and evaluate its impact on the financial position and operating results of the Group. As at the date on which this set of financial statements were authorised for issue, the Group was not aware of any material adverse effects on the financial statements as a result of the COVID-19 outbreak.
11 Financial risk
The Group’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk (primarily including currency risk and interest rate risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. The Group’s overall risk management programme focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on the Group's financial performance.
(1) Market risk
(a) Foreign exchange risk
The Group’s major operational activities are carried out in Mainland China and a majority of the transactions are denominated in RMB. The Group is exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from the recognised assets and liabilities, and future transactions denominated in foreign currencies, primarily with respect to US dollars. The Group’s finance department at its headquarters is responsible for monitoring the amount of assets and liabilities, and transactions denominated in foreign currencies to minimise the foreign exchange risk. Therefore, the Group may consider entering into forward exchange contracts or currency swap contracts to mitigate the foreign exchange risk. During 2019, 2018 and 2017, the Group did not enter into any forward exchange contracts or currency swap contracts.

The financial assets and the financial liabilities denominated in foreign currencies, which are held by the subsidiaries of the Group, whose recording currencies are RMB, are expressed in RMB as at 31 December 2019, 2018 and 2017 as follows (Cont’d):

Receivables 214,098,674 370,108,657

Financial liabilities denominated    in foreign currency -
Payables 129,818,845 168,073,465
As at 31 December 2019, 2018 and 2017, if the RMB had strengthened/weakened by 10% against the while all other variables had been held constant, the Group’s profit before tax for the years would have been approximately RMB 13,793,367, RMB 13,231,682 and RMB 13,382,002 lower/higher for various financial assets and liabilities denominated in .
(b) Interest rate risk
The Group's interest rate risk mainly arises from related party entrusted loans and interest-bearing bank borrowings. Financial liabilities issued at floating rates expose the Group to cash flow interest rate risk. Financial liabilities issued at fixed rates expose the Group to fair value interest rate risk. The Group determines the relative proportions of its fixed rate and floating rate contracts depending on the prevailing market conditions. As at 31 December 2019, 2018 and 2017, the Group’s long-term interest bearing borrowings were RMB-denominated with floating rates, amounting to Nil, Nil and 1,500,000 (Note 7(24)).
The Group’s finance department at its headquarters continuously monitors the interest rate position of the Group. Increases in interest rates will increase the cost of new borrowing and the interest expenses with respect to the Group’s outstanding floating rate borrowings, and therefore could have a material adverse effect on the Group’s financial performance. The Group makes adjustments timely with reference to the latest market conditions and may enter into interest rate swap agreements to mitigate its exposure to interest rate risk. During 2019, 2018 and 2017, the Group did not enter into any interest rate swap agreements.
As at 31 December 2019, 2018 and 2017, if interest rates on the floating rate borrowings had risen/fallen by 50 basis points while all other variables had been held constant, the Group’s total profit would have decreased/increased by approximately Nil, Nil, and 7,500, respectively.

All values are in US Dollars.

11 Financial risk (Cont’d)
(2) Credit risk
Credit risk is managed on the grouping basis. Credit risk mainly arises from cash at bank, notes receivable, accounts receivables, other receivables etc.
The Group expects that there is no significant credit risk associated with cash at bank since they are deposited at state-owned banks, other medium or large size listed banks and related party. Management does not expect that there will be any significant losses from non-performance by these counterparties.
In addition, the Group has policies to limit the credit exposure on notes receivable, accounts receivables, other receivables. The Group assesses the credit quality of and sets credit limits on its customers by taking into account their financial position, the availability of guarantee from third parties, their credit history and other factors such as current market conditions. The credit history of the customers is regularly monitored by the Group. In respect of customers with a poor credit history, the Group will use written payment reminders, or shorten or cancel credit periods, to ensure the overall credit risk of the Group is limited to a controllable extent.
As at the balance sheet date, the Group has no significant collateral or other credit enhancements held as a result of the debtor's mortgage. (3) Liquidity risk
--- --- --- --- --- ---
Cash flow forecasting is performed by each subsidiary of the Group and aggregated by the Group’s finance department in its headquarters. The Group’s finance department at its headquarters monitors rolling forecasts of the Group’s short-term and long-term liquidity requirements to ensure it has sufficient cash that are readily convertible to cash to meet operational needs, while maintaining sufficient headroom on its undrawn committed borrowing facilities from major financial institution so that the Group does not breach borrowing limits or covenants on any of its borrowing facilities to meet the short-term and long-term liquidity requirements.
The financial liabilities of the Group at the balance sheet date are analysed by their maturity date below at their undiscounted contractual cash flow:

12 Fair value estimates
(1) Financial assets and liabilities not measured at fair value
The level in which fair value measurement is categorised is determined by the level of the fair value hierarchy of the lowest level input that is significant to the entire fair value measurement:<br><br><br><br>Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.<br><br><br><br>Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.<br><br><br><br>Level 3: Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.
(a) Financial instruments not measured at fair value
The Group’s financial assets and financial liabilities measured at amortised cost mainly represent notes receivable, accounts receivable, other receivables, short-term borrowings, payables and long-term borrowings.
The carrying amount of the Group's financial assets and liabilities not measured at fair value is a reasonable approximation of their fair value.

(b) Financial instruments measured at fair value

13 Capital management
The Group’s capital management policies aim to safeguard the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern in order to provide returns for investors and benefits for other stakeholders, and to maintain an optimal capital structure to reduce the cost of capital.
In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Group may adjust the amount of dividends paid to investors, refund capital to investors or sell assets to reduce debts.
The Group’s total capital is calculated as ‘owners’ equity’ as shown in the consolidated balance sheets. The Group is not subject to external mandatory capital requirements. 14 Reconciliation to United States generally accepted accounting principles
--- --- --- --- ---
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises in the People's Republic of China (“PRC GAAP”), which differ in certain respects from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). The significant differences which have an impact on either net profit or owners’ equity of the Company are described in the reconciliation tables below. Other differences do not have a significant effect on either net profit or owners’ equity. The effects of the significant adjustments to net profit for the years ended 31 December 2019, 2018 and 2017 which would be required if U.S. GAAP were to be applied instead of PRC GAAP are summarized in the following table. Also, ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, would become effective January 1, 2019 to the Company if U.S. GAAP were to be applied instead of PRC GAAP. The Company assessed the adoption impact following the 5-step model under ASC 606 and using a modified retrospective transition method, which requires a cumulative-effect adjustment, to the opening balance of retained earnings to be recognized on the date of adoption with prior periods not restated. Per the assessment, the impact of adoption of ASC 606 would be immaterial to the Company.

(a) Inventory impairment reversals
Under PRC GAAP, reversals of inventory impairment charges (limited to the amounts of the original impairment) are required for subsequent recoveries. Impairments and any subsequent reversals are included in a separate profit and loss line item - “Asset impairment losses”, which is outside of cost of goods sold. Under U.S. GAAP, reversals of impairments are prohibited, as a write-down of inventories to the lower of cost or market creates a new cost basis that subsequently cannot be reversed.
(b) Staff Welfare and Incentive Fund
In accordance with the Law of the PRC on Chinese-Foreign Equity Joint Ventures and the Company’s Articles of Association, the Company appropriated the Staff Welfare and Incentive Fund of net profit after setting off accumulated losses of previous years and before profit distributions to the investors. The Staff Welfare and Incentive Fund is restricted to fund payments of special bonus to employees and for the collective welfare of employees. None of it is allowed to be transferred to the Company in terms of cash dividends, loans or advances, nor can it be distributed except under liquidation.<br><br><br><br>Under PRC GAAP, appropriation of the Staff Welfare and Incentive Fund is a liability in nature and accounted for as a transfer from retained earnings to Staff Welfare and Incentive Fund, a liability account. Subsequent payments is accounted for as a release of the Company’s liability.
Under U.S. GAAP, appropriation to the Staff Welfare and Incentive Fund is accounted for as a transfer from retained earnings to the statutory reserves. Subsequent payment is accounted for as expenses or assets based on the usage of the payment, and proportionate retained earnings and the statutory reserves are reversed concurrently.
