ADAMA Ltd. Semi-Annual Report 2019 Section III Business Profile
I Main Business of the Company during the Reporting Period
Is the Company subject to any disclosure requirements for special industries?
No.
The Company is a corporation incorporated in the People's Republic of China.
ADAMA engages in the development, manufacturing and commercialization of crop protection products, that are largely off-patent, and is one of the leading companies in the world in this field. The Group provides solutions to farmers in approximately 100 countries, through approximately 60 subsidiary companies throughout the world. In 2018, ADAMA was theworld’s leading company in off-patent crop protection solutions (by sales), and was ranked sixth in the world among companies engaged in the field of crop protection. The Group's business model integrates end-customer access, regulatory expertise, globalR&D and production capabilities, thereby providing ADAMA a significant competitive edge and allowing it to launch new and differentiated products that addressfarmers’ needs in key markets.
ADAMA's primary operations are focused on Europe, North America, Latin America, Asia-Pacific (including China) and India, the Middle-East and Africa. In aggregate, the Group sells its products in approximately 100 countries across the globe.
ADAMA is focused on the development, manufacturing and commercialization of largely off-patent crop protection products, which are generally herbicides, insecticides and fungicides, which protect agricultural and other crops against weeds, insects and disease, respectively. The Group also utilizes its expertise to adapt such products also for the development, manufacturing and commercialization of similar products for non-agricultural purposes (Consumer and Professional Solutions).
In addition, ADAMA leverages its core capabilities in the agricultural and chemical fields and operates in several other non-agricultural areas, none of which, individually, is material for the Group. These activities include primarily, (a) the manufacturing and marketing of dietary supplements, food colors, texture and flavor enhancers, and food fortification ingredients; (b) fragrance products for the perfume, cosmetics, body care and detergents industries; (c) the manufacturing of industrial products and (d) other non-material activities.
Trends, events and key developments in the Group's macro-economic environment may have a material impact on its business results and development. The effects of these factors may differ depending on the geographic region and the different products of the Group. Since the Group maintains a broad product portfolio and since it is active in many geographic regions, the aggregate effect of these factors in any given year, and the course thereof, is not uniform and may sometimes be mitigated by counterbalancing influences. The activities and results of the Group are further subject to, and affected by, certain global, localized and other factors, such as: demographic changes; economic growth and rising standards of living; agricultural commodity prices; significant fluctuations in raw material costs and global energy prices; development of new crop protection technologies; patent expiry and growth in volumes of off-patent products; the agricultural market and volatile weather conditions; regulatory changes; government policies; world ports and monetary policy and the financial market.

III Core Competitiveness Analysis
Is the Company subject to any disclosure requirements for special industries?
No.
No significant changes occurred to the core competitiveness of the Company in the Reporting Period.
ADAMA Ltd. Semi-Annual Report 2019 Section IV Performance Discussion and Analysis
I Overview
Significant precipitation in North America in the first quarter followed by unprecedented flooding in the second quarter, alongside extreme dry weather in Europe, India and parts of Asia-Pacific, delayed and reduced application of crop protection products in these regions. Latin America benefited from relatively strong demand in the southern hemisphere off-season.India’s monsoon season started late in the second quarter, delaying the sowing of several summer-planted crops.
Crop prices have generally remained subdued in the first half of 2019, with the exception of corn, which continues to challenge farmer income in most regions, resulting in continued sluggish demand for crop protection products. The sustained supply-constrained environment, mostly owing to increased environmental focus in China, has seen continued industry-wide shortages in certain raw materials and intermediates, and resulted in procurement costs remaining elevated compared to the first half of last year. The Company continues to raise its prices in all regions and contain its manufacturing and other operating costs to mitigate this impact.
For ADAMA, the extended cold and wet conditions in North America, alongside dry weather in Europe, India and parts of Asia-Pacific, delayed and reduced application of crop protection products, while continued tight supply conditions prevented the Company from taking advantage of demand for certain products.
Strong growth in Latin America, led by Brazil, as well as resilient performance in APAC, notably Australia, alongside the contribution of joiners Bonide and Anpon, partially offset these weather- and supply-related delays. In China, continued strong demand for theCompany’s differentiated, formulated and branded products is supporting the shift towards sales through its own channels and away from sales of unformulated, technical active ingredients to intermediaries.
The Company continues to drive growth with new launches of differentiated product throughout all regions. The continued supportive pricing environment allowed for the raising of prices by an average of3% across all regions, passing on some of the impact of the constrained supply and higher procurement costs, while mitigating the impact of generally softer currencies. In addition, the Company continues to contain its manufacturing and other operating costs, while recording idleness costs at Jingzhou old site.
Looking toward the second half of the year, the Company expects robust growth, as the southern hemisphere regions, which are performing strongly, move into their peak season, as the Monsoon season progresses in India, and as supply constraints start alleviating.
Increasing collaboration activities
The Company continues to advance collaboration opportunities with other ChemChina group entities, as well as other entities of the Sinochem group, to make the most of its positioning.
Jingzhou Old Site
Following resumption of operations at the Jingzhou old site in late March, the Company is advancing the gradual ramp-up of production. The new state-of-the-art wastewater treatment facility is operational, and the upgraded
ADAMA Ltd. Semi-Annual Report 2019 biological-decomposition systems are being acclimated to the improved wastewater quality. As this progresses, the Company is still experiencing constrained supply in key products manufactured at the site, especially impacting the Americas, Asia-Pacific, China and India, Middle-East and Africa, constraining sales and gross profit by approximately$100 million and$35 million, respectively, in the half-year, and recorded approximately$20 million in related idleness costs during the period, bringing the impact from the disruption on EBITDA to approximately$50 million and on Net Income to approximately$40 million. In recent weeks, the Ecological Protection Supervision Team of the central government commenced on-site inspections at manyChemChina’s group companies, including theCompany’s sites in China, as part of its strengthening ongoing environmental and safety focus. ADAMA is working in full cooperation, in the context of its 3-year relocation and upgrade process which is due to conclude next year, to identify and rectify any safety or environmental matter.
Notwithstanding that the old site only produces a small number of products for the group, and the fact that ADAMA has significant production and procurement capabilities elsewhere in China and worldwide ,the suspension has had a negative impact on theCompany’s performance as described above.

Note: The significantly higher total profits, net income and EBITDA for the first half of 2018 mainly reflect the one-time capital gain from the divestment of a portfolio of registrations in connection with the 2017 ChemChina- Syngenta transaction, which increased Total Profits and EBITDA by USD 314.3 million and Net Income by USD 244.8 million.

ADAMA Ltd. Semi-Annual Report 2019 posed significant challenges for farmers, delaying the planting season and reducing planted acreage, impacting sales across key agricultural markets.
In Consumer and Professional Solutions, the Company saw a pleasing contribution from joiner Bonide, despite the challenging weather conditions which similarly impacted the non-crop market.
BRAZEN®, a selective herbicide for grass control in spring wheat and barley in Canada, delivered a strong performance in its first quarter following its recent launch.
Latin America. Latin America delivered business growth in key countries across the region, alongside continued price increases, more than offsetting the impact of constrained supply.
The Company continues to grow strongly in Brazil, where robust demand for its corn portfolio overcame supply shortages in certain products. The Company saw strong performance in the key soybean market, leveraging its distinctive product offering, including flagshipCRONNOS®, the triple-action fungicide for rust, while benefiting from an increase in planted areas.
Noteworthy performance was recorded in the second quarter in Argentina, despite adverse weather conditions. During the quarter, the Company launched several new products, includingBREVIS®, a differentiated post-bloom fruit thinner in apples in Argentina, as well asKADABRA®, a broad-spectrum mixture insecticide for vegetables in Mexico, andUBERTOP® an insecticide used mainly for the control of a wide range of pests in tomato and cabbage in Central America, while the proprietaryNIMITZ® suite of nematicide products was launched in Peru. Asia-Pacific. Sales in the region grew, driven by business growth and continued price increases.
The second quarter saw a strong recovery in Australia, as long-awaited rain bolstered the winter crop season following the severe drought which significantly impacted sales in the country in the first quarter. However, drought conditions continued to impact the broader Asia-Pacific region in the second quarter, reducing crop protection application and constraining sales in many countries.
During the quarter, the Company obtained a number of new registrations for differentiated products, including LEGACYMA-X® for controlling a wide range of broadleaf weeds in Australian winter cereals and pasture,APROPO® fungicide for rice in Philippines, andTOPNOTCH® to control various diseases in Australian wheat and barley.
In China, ADAMA continues to see strong demand for its differentiated, formulated and branded products, and prioritizes the sale of these products through its own channels by rapidly shifting away from selling unformulated, technical product to intermediaries, and in so doing benefiting from the full product positioning as well as end-to- end margin. Sales of these formulated, branded products other than those from the Jingzhou old site, grew by more than20% in both the quarter and first half.
ADAMA continues to make significant portfolio advances in China, with the launch in the second quarter ofLEIWANG®, a combination insecticide to help combat the fall army worm outbreak.
Anpon delivered a solid performance in its first full quarter since joining, compensating for the interruption to supply resulting from the Jingzhou old site.
India, Middle East& Africa. Sales in India were impacted by the late Monsoon rains, reducing planting areas and delaying crop protection application, as well as supply constraints in China-sourced products. In the half-year, growth in the region benefited from a strong performance in Turkey.
(2) Gross Profit
ADAMA Ltd. Semi-Annual Report 2019 Compared to the first half of last year, procurement costs remained elevated, mostly owing to increased environmental and safety focus in China that has seen continued industry-wide shortages in certain raw materials and intermediates. Benefiting from a stronger pricing environment, the Company continued to raise prices, by an average of3% across all regions, and contained its manufacturing and other operating costs, which compensated for a large part of the impact of the constrained supply, higher procurement costs and softer currencies. The Jingzhou old site disruption constrained H1 gross profit by approximately$35 million.
(3) Operating Expenses
Sales and Marketing expenses increased mainly due to the first-time inclusion ofBonide’s expenses, as well as the amortization of the written-up value of assets transferred from Syngenta in connection with the 2017 ChemChina-Syngenta transaction (see additional details below), which offset the benefit of expense containment and softer currencies.
In recent years, the Company conducted various corporate development activities, including mergers and acquisitions, which resulted in the inclusion within its sales and marketing expenses of various one-time or non- cash or non-operational items affecting theCompany’s reported numbers, mainly as follows:
 Amortization of legacy Purchase Price Allocation (PPA) of 2011 acquisition of Solutions: Under PRC GAAP, since the first combined reporting in Q3 2017 following the combination, the Company has inherited the historical “legacy” amortization charge that ChemChina previously was incurring in respect of its acquisition of Solutions in 2011. This amortization is done in a linear manner on a quarterly basis, most of which will be fully amortized by the end of 2020. Its reported financial impact in the first half of 2019 is USD 19 million, net of tax. Amortization of Transfer assets received and written-up due to 2017 ChemChina-Syngenta transaction: The proceeds from the Divestment of crop protection products in connection with the approval by the EU Commission of the acquisition of Syngenta by ChemChina, net of taxes and transaction expenses, were paid to Syngenta in return for the transfer of a portfolio of products in Europe of similar nature and economic value. Since the products acquired from Syngenta are of the same nature, and with the same net economic value as those divested, the Divestment and Transfer transactions had no net impact on the underlying economic performance of the Company. Its reported financial impact in the first half of 2019 is USD 19.8 million.
 Amortization of acquisition PPA (non-cash): The amortization of non-cash intangible assets created in the course of acquisitions, has no impact on the ongoing performance of the companies acquired. Its reported financial impact in the first half of 2019 is USD 2.4 million, net of tax.
General and Administrative expenses: the Company continued to contain expenses and benefited from softer currencies, which offset the first-time inclusion of expenses of Bonide, while the increase mainly resulted from the recording of a first half charge in respect of idleness costs at the Jingzhou old site, as it advances its gradual ramp- up in production.
Research and Development expenses reflect higher spending on strategic research and development projects. (4) Financial Expenses
Financial expenses alone mainly reflect interest payments on corporate bonds and loans as well as foreign exchange gains/losses on the bonds and other monetary assets and liabilities before the Company carries out any hedging. The sharp increase in the first half of 2019 compared with the same period last year is mainly due to the impact of both the appreciation of the Israeli Shekel, as well as the increase of the higher CPI on the Shekel-denominated CPI- linked bonds.
ADAMA Ltd. Semi-Annual Report 2019 Given the global nature of its operational activities and the composition of its assets and liabilities, the Group, in the ordinary course of its business, uses foreign currency derivatives (forwards and options) to hedge the cash flow risks associated with existing monetary assets and liabilities that may be affected by exchange rate fluctuations. Net gains/losses from hedging of those positions are recorded in Gains/Losses from Changes in Fair Value, and are then transferred to Investment Income upon realization.
The aggregate of Financial Expenses, Gains/Losses from Changes in Fair Value and Investment Income upon realization (hereinafter as Total Net Financial Expenses and Investment Income), which more comprehensively reflects financial cost of the Company in supporting its main business and protecting its monetary assets/liabilities, amounts to USD 84 million for H1 2019 compared with USD 70 million for H1 2018.
The increase in aggregate Net Financial Expenses and Investment Income reflects the higher CPI impact on the Israeli bonds, as well as higher interest and hedging costs, while the lower expenses in the corresponding periods last year reflect the benefit of foreign exchange income related to balance sheet positions.
(5) Tax expenses.
Net tax expenses were lower largely due to the lower taxable income, while the higher tax expenses in the prior periods reflected the non-cash impact of the devaluation of the Brazilian Real, resulting in a lower value of local currency-denominated non-monetary assets, as well as the tax charge incurred on the capital gain from the divestment of registrations related to the ChemChina-Syngenta transaction, in the amount of USD 69.5 million. (6) Cash Flow.
Operating cash flow was lower, reflecting the build-up of working capital and the impact of the partially operational Jingzhou old site. The higher level of working capital reflects increased trade receivables resulting from theCompany’s strong growth in Q4 2018 and the robust performance in Brazil in the first-half of 2019, alongside certain reduction in payable days due to a change in supplier mix. Inventory levels were higher due to the missing of sales resulting from the weather-related challenges as well as credit restraint in eastern Europe, alongside the build-up of inventory to prepare for the expected growth in the second half of 2019, as well as the first-time addition of Bonide.
Net cash used in investing activities increased mainly reflecting the acquisition of Bonide, while in the first quarter of 2018, the Company recorded the one-time proceeds from the divestiture of several products in connection with the approval by the EU Commission of the acquisition of Syngenta by ChemChina, and outflow of a lesser net amount for the transfer of a similar portfolio of products.
Net cash provided by Financing Activities includes mainly the increase in borrowing during the period, offset by interest and dividend payments, as well as payments in respect of bond hedges.

X Risks Facing the Company and Countermeasures
The Group believes that it is exposed to several major risk factors, resulting from its economic environment, the industry and the Group's unique characteristics, as follows (the order below does not indicate priority):
Exchange rate fluctuations
Although the Company reports its consolidated financial statements in RMB, theCompany’s material subsidiary Solutions reports its consolidated financial statements in US dollars, which is its functional currency, while its operations, sales and purchases of raw materials are carried out in various currencies. Therefore, fluctuations in the exchange rate of the selling currency against the purchasing currency impact theCompany’s results. The Group's most significant exposures are to the Euro, the Israeli Shekel and the Brazilian Real. The Group has lesser exposures to other currencies. The strengthening of the US dollar against other currencies in which the Company operates reduces the dollar value of such sales and vice versa.
On an annual perspective, approximately27% of theGroup’s sales are to the European market and therefore the impact of long-term trends on the Euro may affect the Company's results and profitability.
Concentration of currency exposure from foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations against assets, including inventory of finished products in countries of sale, liabilities and cash flow denominated in foreign currencies are done constantly. High volatility of the exchange rates of these currencies could increase the costs of transactions to hedge against currency exposure, thereby increasing the Company's financing costs.
The Group uses commonly accepted financial instruments to hedge most of its substantial net balance sheet exposure to any particular currency. Nonetheless, since as part of these operations the Group hedges against most of its balance sheet exposure and only against part of its economic exposure, exchange rate volatility might impact theGroup’s results and profitability. As of the date of approval of the financial statements, the Group has hedged most of its balance sheet exposure for 2019 as it is on the date of publication of this report.
In addition, as theCompany’s product sales depend directly on the cyclical nature of the agricultural seasons,
therefore theCompany’s income and its exposure to the various currencies is not evenly distributed over the year.
Countries in the northern hemisphere have similar agricultural seasons and therefore, in these countries, the highest
ADAMA Ltd. Semi-Annual Report 2019
sales are usually during the first half of the calendar year. During this period, the Company is most exposed to the Euro and the Polish Zloty. In the southern hemisphere, the seasons are opposite and most of the local sales are carried out during the second half of the year. During these months, most of the Company's exposure pertains to the Brazilian Real. The Company has more sales in markets in the northern hemisphere and therefore, the Company's sales volume during the first half of the year is higher than the sales volume during the second half of the year. Exposure to Interest rate, Israel CPI and NIS exchange rate fluctuations
The debentures issued by Solutions, the material subsidiary of the Company, are Israeli Shekel based and linked to the Israel Consumer Price Index (CPI) and therefore an increase in the CPI and an appreciation of the shekel rate against the dollar might lead to a significant increase in its financing expenses. As of the date of approval of the financial statements, Solutions hedged most of its exposure to these risks on an ongoing basis, through CPI hedging and USD-ILS exchange rate hedging transactions.
The Group is exposed to changes in the US dollar LIBOR interest rate as the Group has dollar denominated liabilities, which bear variable LIBOR interest. The Group prepares a quarterly summary of its exposure to changes in the LIBOR interest rate and periodically examines hedging the variable interest rate by converting it to a fixed rate. As of the date of approval of the financial statements, the Group has not carried out hedging for such exposure, since US dollar interest rates have been relatively stable.
Business operations in emerging markets
The Group conducts business– mainly product sales and raw material procurement– inter alia, in emerging markets such as Latin America (particularly in Brazil, the largest market, country wise, in which the Group operates), Eastern Europe, South East Asia and Africa. The Group's activity in emerging markets is exposed to risks typical of those markets, including: political and regulatory instability; volatile exchange rates; economic and fiscal instability and frequent revisions of economic legislation; relatively high inflation and interest rates; terrorism or war; restrictions on import and trade; differing business cultures; uncertainty as to the ability to enforce contractual and intellectual property rights; foreign currency controls; governmental price controls; restrictions on the withdrawal of money from the country; barter deals and potential entry of international competitors and accelerated consolidations by large-scale competitors in these markets. Developments in these regions may have a significant effect on the Group's operations. Distress to the economies of these markets could impair the ability of the Group's customers to purchase its products or the ability to market them at international market prices, as well as harm the Group's ability to collect customer debts, in a way that could have a significant adverse effect on the Group's operating results.
TheGroup’s operations in multiple regions allows for the diversification of such risks and for the reduction of its dependency on particular economies. In addition, changes in registration requirements or customers' preferences in developed western countries, which may limit the use of raw materials purchased from emerging economies, may require redeployment of the Group's procurement organization, which might negatively affect its profitability for a certain period.
Operating in a competitive market
The crop protection products industry is highly competitive. Currently, approximately60% of the industry's global market is shared by five leading Originator Companies, which are based in Europe or North America, these being Corteva, Bayer, BASF Syngenta and FMC, which develop, manufacture and market both patent-protected as well as off-patent products. The Group competes with the original products with the aim of maintaining and increasing its market share.
The Originator Companies possess resources enabling them to compete aggressively, in the short-to-medium term, on price and profit margins, so as to protect their market share. Loss of market share or inability to acquire additional
ADAMA Ltd. Semi-Annual Report 2019
market share from the Originator Companies can affect the Group's position in the market and adversely affect its financial results.
Similarly, the Group also competes in the more decentralized off-patent market, with other off-patent companies and smaller-scale Originator Companies, which have significantly grown in number in recent years and are materially changing the face of the crop protection products industry, the majority of whom have not yet deployed global distribution networks, and are only active locally. These companies price their products aggressively and at times have lower profit margins than the Group, which may harm the volume of the Group's sales and product prices. The Group's ability to maintain its revenues and profitability from a specific product in the long term is affected by the number of companies producing and selling comparable off-patent products and the time of their entrance to the relevant market.
Any delay in developing or obtaining registrations for products and/or delayed penetration into markets and/or growth of competitors that focus on off-patent active ingredients (whether by the expansion of their product portfolio, granting registrations to other manufacturers (including manufacturers in China and India) to operate in additional markets, transforming their distribution network to a global scale or increasing the competition for distribution access), and/or difficulty in purchasing low cost raw materials, may harm theGroup’s sales volumes in this sector, affect its global position and lead to price erosion.
Decline in scope of agricultural activities; exceptional changes in weather conditions
The scope of agricultural activities may be negatively affected by many exogenous factors, such as extreme weather conditions, natural disasters, a significant decrease in agricultural commodity prices, government policies and the economic condition of farmers. A decline in the scope of agricultural activities necessarily would cause a decline in the demand for theGroup’s products, erosion of its prices and collection difficulties, which may have a significant adverse effect on the Group's results. Extreme weather conditions as well as damages caused by nature have an impact on the demand for the Group's products. The Group believes that, should a number of such bad seasons occur in succession, without favorable seasons in the interim, its results may sustain significant harm.
Environmental, health and safety legislation, standards, regulation and exposure
Many aspects of the Group's operations are strictly regulated, including in relation to production and trading, and particularly in relation to the storage, treatment, manufacturing, transport, usage and disposal of its products, their ingredients and byproducts, some of which are considered hazardous. The Group's activities involve hazardous materials. Defective storage or handling of hazardous materials may cause harm to human life or to the environment in which the Group operates. The regulatory requirements regarding the environment, health and safety could, inter alia, include soil and groundwater clean-up requirements; as well as restrictions on the volume and type of emissions the Group is permitted to release into the air, water and soil.
The regulatory requirements applicable to the Group vary from product to product and from market to market, and tend to become stricter with time. In recent years, both government authorities and environmental protection organizations have been applying growing pressure, including through investigations and indictments as well as increasingly stricter legislative proposals and class action suits related to companies and products that may potentially pollute the environment. Compliance with the foregoing legislative and regulatory requirements and protection against such legal actions requires the Group to spend considerable financial resources (both in terms of substantial ongoing costs and in terms of material one-time investments) as well as human resources in order to meet mandatory environmental standards. In some instances, this may result in delaying the introduction of products into new markets or in adverse effects on theGroup’s profitability. In addition, the toughening, material alteration or revocation of environmental licenses or permits, or their stipulations, or the inability to obtain such licenses and permits, may significantly affect the Group's ability to operate its production facilities, which in turn may have a
ADAMA Ltd. Semi-Annual Report 2019
material adverse effect on the financial and business results of the Group. The Group may be required to bear significant civil liability (including due to class actions) or criminal liability (including high penalties and/or high compensation payments and/or costs of environmental monitoring and rehabilitation), resulting from violation of environmental, health and safety regulations, while some of the existing legislation may impose obligations on the Group for strict liability, regardless of proof of negligence or malice.
While the Group invests material sums in adapting its facilities and in constructing special facilities in accordance with environmental requirements, it is currently unable to assess with any certainty whether these investments (current and future) and their outcomes may satisfy or meet future requirements, should these be significantly increased or adjusted. In addition, the Group is unable to predict with any certainty the extent of future costs and investments it may incur so as to meet the requirements of the environmental authorities in the relevant countries in which it operates since, inter alia, the Group is unable to estimate the extent of potential pollutions, their length, the extent of the measures required to be taken by the Group in handling them, the division of responsibility among other parties and the amounts recoverable from third parties.
Furthermore, the Group may be the target of bodily injury claims and property damage claims caused by exposure to hazardous materials, which are predominantly covered under theGroup’s insurance policies.
Legislative, standard and regulatory changes in product registration
The majority of the substances and products marketed by the Group require registration at various stages of their development, production, import, utilization and marketing, and are also subject to strict regulatory supervision by the regulatory authorities in each country. Compliance with the registration requirements that vary from country to country and which are becoming more stringent with time, involves significant time and costs, and rigorous compliance with individual registration requirements for each product. Noncompliance with these regulatory requirements might materially adversely affect the scope of theGroup’s expenses, cost structure and profit margins, as well as penetration of its products in the relevant market, and may even lead to suspension of sales of the relevant product, and recall of those products already sold, or to legal action. Moreover, to the extent new regulatory requirements are imposed on existing registered products (requiring additional investment or leading to the existing registration's revocation) and/or the Group is required to compensate another company for its use of the latter's product registration data, these might amount to significant sums, considerably increasing the Group's costs and adversely affecting its results and reputation.
Additionally, the Group believes that, in countries where the Group maintains a competitive edge, any toughening of registration requirements may actually increase this edge, since this will make it difficult for its competitors to penetrate the same market, whereas in countries in which the Group possesses a small market share, if any, such toughening may make further penetration of the Group's products into that market more difficult.
Product liability
Product and producer liability present a risk factor to the Group. Regardless of their prospects or actual results, product liability lawsuits might involve considerable costs as well as tarnish the Group's reputation, thus impacting its profits. The Group has a third-party and defective product liability insurance cover. However, there is no certainty that the scope of insurance cover is sufficient. Any future product liability lawsuit or series of lawsuits could materially affect theGroup’s operations and results, should the Group lose the lawsuit or should its insurance cover not suffice or apply in a particular instance. In addition, while currently the Group has not encountered any difficulty renewing such insurance policy, it is possible that it will encounter future difficulties in renewing an insurance policy for third party liability and defective products on terms acceptable to the Group.
Successful market penetration and product diversification
ADAMA Ltd. Semi-Annual Report 2019
TheGroup’s growth and profit margins are affected, inter alia, by the extent of its success in developing differentiated products and obtaining registrations for them, so as to enable it to gain market share at the expense of its competitors. Usually, being the first to launch a certain off-patent product affords the Group continuing advantage, even after other competitors penetrate the same market. Thus, the Group's revenues and profit margins from a certain product could be materially affected by its ability to launch such product ahead of the launch of a comparable product by its competitors.
Should new products fail to meet registration requirements in the different countries or should it take a long period of time to obtain such registrations, the Group's ability to successfully introduce a new product to the market in question in the future would be affected, since entry into the market prior to other competitors is important for successful market penetration. Furthermore, successful market penetration involves, inter alia, product diversification in order to suit each market's changing needs. Therefore, if the Group fails to adapt its product mix by developing new products and obtaining the required regulatory approvals, its future ability to penetrate that market and to maintain its existing market share could be affected. Failure to introduce new products to given markets and meet Group objectives (given the considerable time and resources invested in their development and registration) might affect the sales of the product in question in the relevant market, theGroup’s results and margins. Intellectual property rights of the Group and of third parties
The Group's ability to develop off-patent products is dependent, inter alia, on its ability to oppose patents of an Originator Company or other third parties, or to develop products that do not otherwise infringe intellectual property rights in a manner that may involve significant legal and other costs. Originator Companies tend to vigorously defend their products and may attempt to delay the launch of competing off-patent products by registering patents on slightly different versions of products for which the original patent protection is about to expire or has expired, with the aim of competing against the off-patent versions of the original product. The Originator Companies may also change the branding and marketing method of their products. Such actions may increase the Group's costs and the risk it entails, and harm or even prevent its ability to launch new products.
The Group is also exposed to legal claims that its products or production processes infringe on third-party intellectual property rights. Such claims may involve time, costs, substantial damages and management resources, impair the value of the Group's brands and its sales and adversely affect its results. To the best of theGroup’s current knowledge, such lawsuits that were concluded involved non-material amounts.
Furthermore, the Group protects its brands and trade secrets with patents, trademarks and other methods of intellectual property protection, however these protective means may not be sufficient for safeguarding its intellectual property. Any unlawful or other unauthorized use of the Group's intellectual property rights could adversely affect the value of its intellectual property and goodwill. In addition, the Group may be required to take legal action involving financial costs and resources to safeguard its intellectual property rights.
Fluctuations in raw material inputs and prices, and in sales costs
Significant percentage of the cost of theGroups’ sales derives from raw material costs. Hence, significant increases or decreases in raw material cost affect the cost of goods sold, which is generally expressed a number of months following such cost fluctuation. Most of the Group's raw materials are distant derivatives of oil prices and therefore, extreme increase or decrease in oil prices may affect the costs of raw materials, yet only partially.
To reduce exposure to fluctuations in the prices of raw materials, the Group customarily engages in long-term purchase contracts for key raw materials, wherever possible. Similarly, the Group acts to adjust its sales prices, if possible, to reflect the changes in the costs of raw materials.
As of the date of approval of the financial statements, the Group has not engaged in any hedging transactions against increases in oil and other raw material costs.
ADAMA Ltd. Semi-Annual Report 2019
Exposure due to recent developments in the genetically modified seeds market
Any further significant development in the market of genetically modified seeds for agricultural crops, including as a result of regulatory changes in certain countries currently prohibiting the use of genetically modified seeds, and/or any significant increase in the sales of genetically modified seeds or Glyphosate and/or to the extent new crop protection products are developed for further crops that would be widely used (substituting traditional products), will affect demand for crop protection products, requiring the Group to respond by adapting its product portfolio to the new demand structure. Consequently, to the extent that the Group fails to adapt its product mix accordingly, this may reduce demand for its products, erode their sales price and necessarily affect theGroup’s results and market share.
Nevertheless, the fact that the Group itself markets Glyphosate acts to mitigate this exposure (albeit only in terms of marketing margins).
Operational risks
TheGroup’s operations, including its manufacturing activities, rely, inter alia, on state-of-the-art computer systems. The Group continually invests in upgrading and protecting these systems. Any unexpected failure of these systems, as well as the integration of new systems, could involve substantial costs and adversely affect the Group's operations until completion of the repair or integration. The potential occurrence of a substantial failure that cannot be repaired within a reasonable time frame may also affect the Group's operations and its results. Currently, the Group has a property and loss-of-profit insurance policy.
Data protection and cyber
During its activity, the Group may be exposed to risks and threats, related to the stability of its information technologies systems, data protection and cyber, which could appear in many different forms (such as service denial, misleading employees, malfunction, encryption or data erasing and other cyber-attacks via E-mail or malicious software). An attack on such computerized systems, mainly network based systems may cause the group material damages and expenses and even partial suspension and disruption of their proper functioning. In order to minimize the abovementioned risks, the group invests resources in its technological strength and in proper protection of its systems.
Raw material supply and/or shipping and port services disruptions
Lack of raw materials or other inputs utilized in the manufacture of Group products may prevent the Group from supplying its products or significantly increase production costs. Moreover, the Group imports raw materials to its production facilities worldwide, from where it exports the products to its subsidiaries around the world for formulation and/or commercialization purposes. Disruptions in the supply of raw materials from regular suppliers may adversely affect operations until an alternative supplier is engaged. If any of the Group's suppliers are unable to supply raw materials for a prolonged period, including due to ongoing disruptions and/or prolonged strikes and/or infrastructure defects in the operating of a relevant port, and the Group is unable to engage with an alternative supplier at similar terms and in accordance with product registration requirements, this may adversely affect the Group's results, significantly affect its ability to obtain raw materials in general, or obtain them at reasonable prices, as well as limit its ability to supply products and/or meet customer supply deadlines. These might negatively affect the Group, its finances and operating results. In order to reduce this risk, it is the Group's practice to occasionally adjust the volume of its product inventories and at times utilize air freight.
Failed mergers and acquisitions; difficulties in integrating acquired operations
The Group's strategy includes growth through mergers, acquisitions, investments and collaborations designed, in a calculated manner, to expand its product portfolio and deepen its presence in certain geographical markets.
ADAMA Ltd. Semi-Annual Report 2019
Growth through mergers and acquisitions requires assimilation of acquired operations and their effective integration in the Group, including realization of certain forecasts, profitability, market conditions and competition.
Failure to successfully implement the above and/or non-realization of the said forecasts may result in not achieving the additional value forecasted, losing customers, exposure to unexpected liabilities, reduced value of the intangible assets included in the merger or acquisition as well as the loss of professional and skilled human resources.
Production concentration in limited plants
A large portion of theGroup’s production operations is concentrated in a small number of locations. Natural disasters, hostilities, labor disputes, substantial operational malfunction or any other material damage might significantly affect Group operations, as a result of the difficulty, the time and investment required for relocating the production operation or any other activity.
International taxation
Most of theGroup’s sales are global, through its consolidated subsidiaries worldwide. These individual companies are assessed in accordance with the tax laws effective in each respective location. TheGroup’s effective tax rate could be significantly affected by different classification or attribution of the profits arise from the share of value earned of the companies in the Group in the various countries, as shall be recognized in each tax jurisdiction; changes in the characteristics (including regarding the location of control and management) of these companies; changes in the breakdown of the Group's profits into regions where differing tax rates apply; changes in statutory tax rates and other legislative changes; changes in assessment of the Group's deferred tax assets or deferred tax liabilities; changes in determining the areas in which the Group is taxed; and potential changes in the Group's organizational structure.
Changes in tax regulations and the manner of their implementation, including with regard to the implementation of BEPS, may lead to a substantial increase in the Group's applicable tax rates and have a material adverse effect on its financial state, results and cash flows.
TheGroup’s Financial Statements do not include a material provision for exposure for international taxation, as stated above.
Risks arising from theGroup’s debt
The Group finances its business operations by means of its own equity and loans from external sources (primarily debentures issued by Solutions and bank credit). The Group's main source for servicing the debt and its operating expenses is by means of the profits from the Groupcompanies’ operations. Restrictions applying to the Group companies regarding distribution of dividends to the Group, or the tax rate applicable on these dividends, may affect the Group's ability to finance its operations and service its debt.
In addition, the Group's Finance Documents require it to meet certain Financial Covenants. Failure to meet these covenants due to an exogenous event or non-materialization of Group forecasts, and insofar as the financing parties refuse to extend or update these Financial Covenants as per theGroup’s capabilities, may lead the financing parties to demand the immediate payment of these liabilities (or part thereof).
Exposure to customer credit risks
TheGroup’s sales to customers usually involve customer credit as is customary in each market. A portion of these credit lines are insured, while the remainder are exposed to risk, particularly during economic slowdowns in the relevant markets. TheGroup’s aggregate credit, however, is diversified among many customers in multiple countries, mitigating this risk. In addition, in certain regions, particularly in South America, credit days are particularly long (compared to those extended to customers in regions such as Europe), and on occasion, inter alia, owing to agricultural seasons or economic downturns in those countries, the Group may encounter difficulty in collection of customer debts, with the collection period being extended over several years.
ADAMA Ltd. Semi-Annual Report 2019
Generally, such issues arise more often in developing countries where the Group is less familiar with its customers, the collaterals might be in double until actual repayment and the insurance cover of these customers is likely to be limited. Credit default by any of the customers may negatively impact the Group's cash flow and financial results. TheGroup’s working capital and cash flow needs
Similar to other companies operating in the crop protection industry, the Group has substantial cash flow and working capital requirements in the ordinary course of operations. In view of the Group's growth and considering its primary growth regions, theGroup’s broad product portfolio and theGroup’s investments in manufacturing infrastructures, the Group has significant financing and investment needs. The Group acts continually to improve the state and management of its working capital. While currently the Group is in compliance with all its financial covenants, significant deterioration of its operating results may in the future lead the Group to fail to comply with its financial covenants and fail to meet its financial needs. As a result, the Group's ability to meet its goals and growth plans, and its ability to meet its financial obligations, may be harmed.

(6) Other related information on environmental protection
At the end of January 2019, preceding the Spring Festival, the Company voluntarily suspended operations atSanonda’s old site in Jingzhou, which is in the process of being relocated to a nearby advanced site, due to recording of higher than permitted levels of wastewater compounds. The Company was subsequently instructed by the local government not to resume operations before rectification. The Company rectified the discharge levels and resumed operations at the old site at the beginning of April 2019. For details, please see the announcement published on www.cninfo.com.cn on February 13, 2019.
Following resumption of operations at the Jingzhou old site in late March, the Company is advancing the gradual ramp-up of production. The new state-of-the-art wastewater treatment facility is operational, and the upgraded biological-decomposition systems are being acclimated to the improved wastewater quality. As this progresses, the Company is experiencing constrained supply in key products manufactured at the site, especially impacting North America, Latin-America, Asia-Pacific, China, India, Middle-East and Africa, and recorded approximately$20 million in related idleness costs during the half-year.
In recent years, the Company has already invested$125 million in the relocation of the Jingzhou old site, and has installed advanced production and environmental facilities at a new and already operational site, including an investment of$16 million in a new, state-of-the-art wastewater facility, which is ready to commence operation. As the ramp-up of production proceeds, the site continues to remain under inspection of the relevant authorities with whom the Company is working in close and constant collaboration. In this regard, in recent weeks, the Ecological Protection Supervision Team of the Central Government commenced on-site inspections at many ofChemChina’s subsidiaries, including ADAMA, as part of its efforts to strengthen ongoing environmental and safety focus. ADAMA is working in full cooperation in the context of its 3-year relocation and upgrade process, which is due to conclude next year, to identify and rectify any safety or environmental issue at Jingzhou.

The Group has adopted the accrual basis of accounting. Except for certain financial instruments which are measured at fair value, deferred tax assets and liabilities, assets and liabilities relating to employee benefits, provisions, and investments in associated companies and joint ventures, the Group adopts the historical cost as the principle of measurement in the financial statements.

Liabilities shall be measured at the actual amount of cash or assets received, or the contractual amount in a present obligation, or the prospective amount of cash or cash equivalents paid to discharge the liabilities.
Fair value is the amount for which an asset could be exchanged, or a liability settled, between knowledgeable, willing market participants in anarm’s length transaction at the measurement date. Fair value measured and disclosed in the financial statements are determined on this basis whether it is observable or estimated by valuation techniques.
The following table provides an analysis, grouped into Levels 1 to 3 based on the degree to which the fair value input is observable and significant to the fair value measurement as a whole:
Level 1 - based on quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets;
Level 2 - based on valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is observable (other than quoted prices included within Level 1), either directly or indirectly;
Level 3 - based on valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is unobservable.

Theacquiree’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. Where the cost of combination exceeds theacquirer’s interest in the fair value of theacquiree’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 theacquirer’s interest in the fair value of theacquiree’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. 6. 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.
For a subsidiary acquired through a business combination involving enterprises under common control, it will be fully consolidated into consolidated financial statements from the date on which the subsidiary was ultimately under common control by the same party or parties.
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 theshareholders’ 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. TheGroup’s share of asubsidiary’s profits includes the share of the holders of the non-controlling interests to which the Group issued a put option.
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.
7. Classification and accounting methods of joint arrangement
Joint arrangement involves by two or more parties jointly control. Joint control is the contractually agreed sharing of control over an economic activity, and exists only when the strategic financial and operating decisions relating to the activity require the unanimous consent of the parties sharing control (the ventures). The Group makes the classification of the joint arrangements according to the rights and obligations in the joint arrangements to either joint operations or joint ventures.
A joint venture is a joint arrangement whereby the parties that have joint control of the arrangement have rights to the net assets of the joint arrangement. Joint ventures are accounted for using the equity method. 8. 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.

9. Translation of transactions and financial statements denominated in foreign currencies
9.1 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.
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.
9.2 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 the 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 the spot exchange rates on the dates of the transactions; the opening balance of retained earnings is the translated closing balance of the previous year's retained earnings; 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.
10. 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, in the case of a financial asset or financial liability not 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. At initial recognition, an entity shall measure trade receivables at their transaction price if the trade receivables do not contain a significant financing component.
10.1 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”).
10.1.1 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.
10.1.1.1 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.

10.1.2 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. 10.1.3 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‘accountingmismatch’) that would otherwise arise from measuring assets or liabilities or recognizing the gains and losses on them on different bases.
A gain or loss on a financial asset that is measured at FVTPL is recognized in profit or loss unless it is part of a hedging relationship. Dividends are recognized in profit or loss.
10.1.4 Designated financial assets at FVTOCI
At initial recognition, the Group makes an irrevocable election to designate to FVTOCI an investment in an equity instrument that is not held for trading.
When a non-trading equity instrument investment is designated as a financial asset that is measured at fair value through other comprehensive income, the changes in the fair value of the financial asset are recognised in other comprehensive income. Upon realization the accumulated gains or losses from other comprehensive income are transferred from other comprehensive income and included in retained earnings. During the period in which the Group holds these non-trading investment instruments, the right to receive dividends in the Group has been established, and the economic benefits related to dividends are likely to flow into the Group, and when the amount of dividends can be reliably measured, the dividend income is recognized in the current profit and loss.

10.2 Impairment of financial assets
The Group recognizes a loss allowance for expected credit losses on financial assets that are classified to amortised cost and FVTOCI.
The Group always measures the loss allowance at an amount equal to lifetime expected credit losses for trade receivables.
For financial assets other than trade receivables, the Group initially measure the loss allowance for that financial instrument at an amount equal to 12-month expected credit losses. At each balance sheet date, if the credit risk on that financial instrument has increased significantly since initial recognition, the Group measures the loss allowance for a financial instrument at an amount equal to the lifetime expected credit losses. The Group recognizes in profit or loss, as an impairment gain or loss, the amount of expected credit losses (or reversal) that is required to adjust the loss allowance to the amount that is required to be recognized. 10.2.1 Significant increases in credit risk
At each balance sheet date, the Group assesses whether the credit risk on a financial instrument has increased significantly since initial recognition.
The Group mainly considers the following list of information in assessing changes in credit risk:
(a) significant changes in internal price indicators of credit risk as a result of a change in credit risk since inception.
(b) significant changes in external market indicators of credit risk for a particular financial instrument or similar financial instruments with the same expected life.
(c) a significant change in thedebtors’ ability to meet its debt obligations.
(d) an actual or expected significant change in the operating results of the debtor.
(e) significant increases in credit risk on other financial instruments of the same debtor.
(f) an actual or expected significant adverse change in the regulatory, economic, or technological
environment of the debtor.
(g) significant changes in the value of the collateral supporting the obligation or in the quality of third- party guarantees or credit enhancements, which are expected to reduce thedebtor’s economic
incentive to make scheduled contractual payments or to otherwise have an effect on the probability of a default occurring.
(h) significant changes that are expected to reduce thereceivable’s economic incentive to make
scheduled contractual payments.
(i) significant changes in the expected performance and behaviour of the debtor.
(j) past due information.
The Group assumes that the credit risk on a financial instrument has not increased significantly since initial recognition if the financial instrument is determined to have low credit risk at the reporting date.

10.2 Impairment of financial assets -(cont’d)
10.2.2 Credit-impaired financial asset
A financial asset is credit-impaired when one or more events that have a detrimental impact on the estimated future cash flows of that financial asset have occurred. Evidence that a financial asset is credit-impaired include observable data about the following events:
(a) significant financial difficulty of the issuer or the receivable;
(b) a breach of contract, such as a default or past due event;
(c) the lender(s) of the receivable, for economic or contractual reasons relating to thereceivable’s financial difficulty, having granted to the receivable a concession(s) that the lender(s) would not otherwise consider;
(d) it is becoming probable that the receivable will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganization; 10.2.3 Recognition of expected credit losses
For the purpose of determining significant increases in credit risk and recognizing a loss allowance on a collective basis, financial instruments are grouped on the basis of shared credit risk. Examples of shared credit risk characteristics may include, but are not limited to, the:(a) instrument type; (b) credit risk ratings; (c) collateral type; (d) industry; (e) geographical location of the debtor; and (f) the value of collateral relative to the financial asset if it has an impact on the probability of a default occurring.
Expected credit losses of financial instruments are determined as the present value of the difference between: (a) the contractual cash flows that are due to an entity under the contract; and (b) the cash flows that the entity expects to receive.
For a financial asset that is credit-impaired at the reporting date, an entity shall measure the expected credit losses as the difference between theasset’s gross carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows discounted at the financialasset’s original effective interest rate. Any adjustment is recognized in profit or loss as an impairment gain or loss.
The Group measures expected credit losses of a financial instrument in a way that reflects:
(a) an unbiased and probability-weighted amount that is determined by evaluating a range of possible outcomes;
(b) the time value of money; and
(c) reasonable and supportable information that is available without undue cost or effort at the reporting date about past events, current conditions and forecasts of future economic conditions.
10.2.4 Written-off of financial assets
The Group directly reduces the gross carrying amount of a financial asset when the entity has no reasonable expectations of recovering a financial asset in its entirety or a portion thereof. A write-off constitutes a derecognition event.

10.3 Transfer of financial asset
The Group derecognizes a financial asset if one of the following conditions is satisfied: (i) the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire; or (ii) the financial asset has been transferred and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset is transferred to the transferee; or (iii) although the financial asset has been transferred, the Group neither transfers nor retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset but has not retained control of the financial asset. If the Group neither transfers nor retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of a financial asset, and it retains control of the financial asset, it recognizes the financial asset to the extent of its continuing involvement in the transferred financial asset and recognizes an associated liability. The extent of theGroup’s continuing involvement in the transferred asset is the extent to which it is exposed to changes in the value of the transferred asset.
When the company is derecognizing a financial asset in its entirety, except for equity instrument designated to FVTOCI, the difference between (i) the carrying amount of the financial asset transferred; and (ii) the sum of the consideration received from the transfer is recognized in profit or loss.
10.4 Classification and measurement of financial liabilities
Debt and equity instruments are classified as either financial liabilities or as equity in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangements and the definitions of a financial liability and an equity instrument. All financial liabilities are subsequently measured at FVTPL or other financial liabilities.
Financial liabilities are classified as at FVTPL when the financial liability is (i) held for trading or (ii) it is designated as at FVTPL. The financial liability other than derivative financial liabilities are stated as liabilities held for trading.
Other financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortized cost by using effective interest method. Gain or loss arising from derecognition or amortization is recognized in current profit or loss.

10.5 Derecognition of financial liabilities
Financial liabilities are derecognized in full or in part only when the present obligation is discharged in full or in part. An agreement entered into force between the Group (debtor) and a creditor to replace the original financial liabilities with new financial liabilities with substantially different terms, derecognize the original financial liabilities as well as recognize the new financial liabilities. When financial liabilities is derecognized in full or in part, the difference between the carrying amount of the financial liabilities derecognized and the consideration paid (including transferred non-cash assets or new financial liability) is recognized in profit or loss for the current period.
10.6 Derivatives
Derivative financial instruments include forward exchange contracts, currency swaps and foreign exchange options, etc. Derivatives are initially measured at fair value at the date when the derivative contracts are entered into and are subsequently re-measured at fair value. The resulting gain or loss is recognized in profit or loss unless the derivative is designated and highly effective as a hedging instrument, in which case the timing of the recognition in profit or loss depends on the nature of the hedge relationship (Note III 28.1). 10.7 Offsetting financial assets and financial liabilities
Financial assets and financial liabilities shall be presented separately in the balance sheet and shall not be offset, except for circumstances where the Group has a legal right that is currently enforceable to offset the recognized financial assets and financial liabilities, and intends either to settle on a net basis, or to realize the financial asset and settle the financial liability simultaneously, a financial asset and a financial liability shall be offset and the net amount is presented in the balance sheet.
10.8 Equity instruments
The consideration received from the issuance of equity instruments net of transaction costs is recognized inshareholders’ equity. Consideration and transaction costs paid by the Company for repurchasing self-issued equity instruments are deducted fromshareholders’ equity.
When the Company repurchases its own shares, those shares are treated as treasury shares. All expenditures relating to the repurchase are recorded in the cost of the treasury shares, with the transaction entering into the share capital. Treasury shares are excluded from profit distributions and are stated as a deduction undershareholders’ equity in the balance sheet.

11. Receivable
Receivables are assessed for impairment on a collective group and/or on an individual basis as follows: Expected credit losses in respect of a receivable is measured at an amount equal to lifetime expected credit losses. The assessment is made collectively for account receivables, where receivables share similar credit risk characteristics based on geographical location, using the expected credit losses model including inter- alia aging analysis, historical loss experiences adjusted by the observable factors reflecting current and expected future economic conditions. The ratio of the collective provision for non-overdue account receivables is between0%-1.4%.
When credit risk on a receivable has increased significantly since initial recognition, the group records specific provision or collective provision, which is determined for groups of similar assets in countries in which there are large number of customers with immaterial balances.
In assessing whether the credit risk on a receivable has increased significantly since initial recognition, the Group compares the risk of a default occurring on the receivable at the reporting date with the risk of a default occurring on the receivable at the date of initial recognition and considers both quantitative and qualitative information that is reasonable and supportable, including observable data that comes to the attention of the Group about loss events such as a significant decline in the solvency of an individual debtor or the portfolio of debtors, and significant changes in the financial condition that have an adverse effect on the debtor.
12. Inventories
12.1 Categories of inventories and initial measurement
The Group's inventories mainly include raw materials, work in progress, semi-finished goods, finished goods and reusable materials. Reusable materials include low-value consumables, packaging materials and other materials, which can be used repeatedly but do not meet the definition of fixed assets.
Inventories are initially measured at cost. Cost of inventories comprises all costs of purchase, costs of conversion and other expenditures incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition including direct labor costs and an appropriate allocation of production overheads.
12.2 Valuation method of inventories upon delivery
The actual cost of inventories upon delivery is calculated using the weighted average method.
12.3 Basis for determining net realizable value of inventories and provision methods for decline in value of inventories
At the balance sheet date, inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value. If the net realizable value is below the cost of inventories, a provision for decline in value of inventories is made. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs of completion, the estimated costs necessary to make the sale and relevant taxes.
After the provision for decline in value of inventories is made, if the circumstances that previously caused inventories to be written down below cost no longer exist so that the net realizable value of inventories is higher than their carrying amount, the original provision for decline in value is reversed and the reversal is included in profit or loss for the period.
12.4 The perpetual inventory system is maintained for stock system.

13. Long-term equity investments
Long-term equity investments include investments in subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates.
Subsidiaries are the companies that are controlled by the Company. Associates are the companies over which the Group has significant influence. Joint ventures are joint arrangements over which the Group has joint control along with other investors and has rights to the net assets of the joint arrangement.
The Company accounts for the investment in subsidiaries at historical cost in the Company's financial statements. Investments in associates and joint ventures are accounted for under equity method.
13.1 Determination of investment cost
For a long-term equity investment acquired through a business combination involving enterprises under common control, the investment cost of the long-term equity investment is the share of the carrying amount of the shareholders' equity of the acquiree attributable to the ultimate controlling party at the date of combination. For a long-term equity investment acquired through business combination not involving enterprises under common control, the investment cost of the long-term equity investment is the cost of acquisition. For a business combination not involving enterprises under common control achieved in stages that involves multiple exchange transactions, the initial investment cost is carried at the aggregate of the carrying amount of theacquirer’s previously held equity interest in the acquiree and the new investment cost incurred on the acquisition date.
Regarding the long-term equity investment acquired otherwise than through a business combination, if the long-term equity investment is acquired by cash, the historical cost is determined based on the amount of cash paid and payable; if the long-term equity investment is acquired through the issuance of equity instruments, the historical cost is determined based on the fair value of the equity instruments issued.

13. Long-term equity investments -(cont’d)
13.2 Subsequent measurement and recognition of profit or loss
If the long-term equity investment is accounted for at cost, it should be measured at historical cost less accumulated impairment losses. Dividend declared by the investee should be accounted for as investment income.
Under the equity method, where the initial investment cost of a long-term equity investment exceeds theGroup’s share of the fair value of theinvestee’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 theGroup’s share of the fair value of theinvestee’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.
Under the equity method, the Group recognizes its share of the net profit or loss and other comprehensive income of the investee for the period as investment income or loss and other comprehensive income for the period. The Group recognizes its share of theinvestee’s net profit or loss based on the fair value of theinvestee’s individual separately identifiable assets, etc. at the acquisition date after making appropriate adjustments to be confirmed with the Group's accounting policies and accounting period. The Group discontinues recognizing its share of net losses of the investee after the carrying amount of the long-term equity investment together with any long-term interests that in substance form part of its net investment in the investee is reduced to zero. If the Group has incurred obligations to assume additional losses of the investee, a provision is recognized according to the expected obligation, and recorded as investment loss for the period.
13.3 Basis for determining control, joint control and significant influence over investee
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. Joint control is the contractually agreed sharing of control over an economic activity, and exists only when the strategic financial and operating policy decisions relating to the activity require the unanimous consent of the parties sharing control.
Significant influence is the power to participate in the financial and operating policy decisions of the investee but is not control or joint control over those policies.
When determining whether an investing enterprise is able to exercise control or significant influence over an investee, the effect of potential voting rights of the investee (for example, warrants and convertible debts) held by the investing enterprises or other parties that are currently exercisable or convertible shall be considered.
13.4 Methods of impairment assessment and determining the provision for impairment loss
If the recoverable amounts of the investments to subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates are less than their carrying amounts, an impairment loss should be recognized to reduce the carrying amounts to the recoverable amounts (Note III 20).
13.5 The disposal of long-term equity investment
On disposal of a long term equity investment, the difference between the proceeds actually received and
receivable and the carrying amount is recognized in profit or loss for the period.

14. Investment properties
Investment property refers to real estate held to earn rentals or for capital appreciation, or both, including leased land use rights, land use rights held and provided for transferring after appreciation and leased constructions, etc.
Investment property is initially measured at cost. Subsequent expenditures related to an investment property shall be included in cost of investment property only when the economic benefits associated with the asset will likely flow to the Group and its cost can be measured reliably. All other subsequent expenditures on investment property shall be included in profit or loss for the current period when incurred.
The Group adopts cost method for subsequent measurement of investment property, which is depreciated or amortized using the same policy as that for buildings and land use rights.
When an investment property is sold, transferred, retired or damaged, the amount of proceeds on disposal of the property net of the carrying amount and related taxes and surcharges is recognized in profit or loss for the current period.
15. Fixed assets
15.1 Recognition criteria for fixed assets
Fixed assets include land owned by the Group and buildings, machinery and equipment, transportation vehicles, office equipment and others.
Fixed assets are tangible assets that are held for use in the production or supply of goods or for administrative purposes, and have useful lives of more than one accounting year. A fixed asset is recognized only when it is probable that economic benefits associated with the asset will flow to the Group and the cost of the asset can be reliably measured. Purchased or constructed fixed assets are initially measured at cost when acquired. Subsequent expenditures incurred for the fixed asset are included in the cost of the fixed asset and if it is probable that economic benefits associated with the asset will flow to the Group and the subsequent expenditures can be measured reliably. Other subsequent expenditures are recognized in profit or loss in the period in which they are incurred.

15.2 Depreciation of each category of fixed assets
Fixed asset is depreciated based on the cost of fixed asset recognized less expected net residual value over its useful life using the straight-line method since the month subsequent to the one in which it is ready for intended use. Depreciation is calculated based on the carrying amount of the fixed asset after impairment over the estimated remaining useful life of the asset.
The Group reviews the useful life and estimated net residual value of a fixed asset and the depreciation method applied at least once at each financial year-end, and account for any change as a change in an accounting estimate.
The estimated useful life, estimated net residual value and annual depreciation rate of each category of fixed assets are as follows:
Residual Annual Useful life value depreciation rate Category Depreciation (years) (%) (%)
Buildings the straight-line method 15-50 0-4 1.9-6.7 Machinery and equipment the straight-line method 3-22 0-4 4.4-33.3 Office and other equipment the straight-line method 3-17 0-4 5.6-33.3 Motor vehicles the straight-line method 5-9 0-2 10.9-20.0 Land owned by the Group is not depreciated.
15.3 Other explanations
If a fixed asset is upon disposal or no future economic benefits are expected to be generated from its use or disposal, the fixed asset is derecognized. When a fixed asset is sold, transferred, retired or damaged, the amount of any proceeds on disposal of the asset net of the carrying amount and related taxes is recognized in profit or loss for the period.
The difference between recoverable amounts of the fixed assets under the carrying amount is referred to as impairment loss (Note III 20).
16. Construction in progress
Construction in progress is measured at its actual costs. The actual costs include various construction, installation costs, borrowing costs capitalized and other expenditures incurred until such time as the relevant assets are completed and ready for its intended use. When the asset concerned is ready for its intended use, the cost of the asset is transferred to fixed assets and depreciated starting from the following month. The difference between recoverable amounts of the construction in progress under the carrying amount is referred to as impairment loss (Note III 20).

17. Borrowing costs
Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of qualifying asset are capitalized when expenditures for such asset and borrowing costs are incurred and activities relating to the acquisition, construction or production of the asset that are necessary to prepare the asset for its intended use or sale have commenced. Capitalization of borrowing costs ceases when the qualifying asset being acquired, constructed or produced becomes ready for its intended use or sale. Borrowing costs incurred subsequently should be charged to profit or loss. Capitalization of borrowing costs is suspended during periods in which the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset is suspended abnormally and when the suspension is for a continuous period of more than 3 months. Capitalization is suspended until the acquisition, construction or production of the asset is resumed.
Where funds are borrowed under a specific-purpose borrowing, the amount of interest to be capitalized is the actual interest expenses incurred on that borrowing for the period less any bank interest earned from depositing the borrowed funds before being used on the asset or any investment income on the temporary investment of those funds.
Where funds are borrowed under general-purpose borrowings, the Group determines the amount of interest to be capitalized on such borrowings by applying a capitalization rate to the weighted average of the excess of cumulative expenditures on the asset over the amounts of specific-purpose borrowings. The capitalization rate is the weighted average of the interest rates applicable to the general-purpose borrowings.
During the capitalization period, exchange differences on foreign currency specific-purpose borrowing are fully capitalized whereas exchange differences on foreign currency general-purpose borrowing is charged to profit or loss.
18. Intangible assets
18.1 Valuation methods, useful life, impairment test
TheGroup’s intangible assets include product registration assets, intangible assets upon purchase of products, marketing rights and rights to use trademarks, land use rights and software. Intangible assets are stated at the balance sheet at cost less accumulated amortization and impairment losses.
When an intangible asset with a finite useful life is available for use, its original cost less any accumulated impairment losses is amortized over its estimated useful life using the straight-line method. An intangible asset with an indefinite useful life is not amortized.
For an intangible asset with a finite useful life, the Group reviews the useful life and amortization method at the end of the year, and makes adjustments when necessary.
The respective amortization periods for such intangible assets are as follows:
Item Amortization period (years)
Land use rights 49-50 years
Product registration 8 years
Intangible assets on purchase of products 7-11, 20 years
Tradename and trademarks 4-10, 30 years
Software 3-5 years
Customer relations 5-10 years
The difference between recoverable amounts of the intangible assets under the carrying amount is referred
to as impairment loss (see Note III 20).

18.2 Research and development expenditure
Internal research and development project expenditures were classified into research expenditures and development expenditures depending on its nature and the greater uncertainty whether the research activities becoming to intangible assets.
Expenditure during the research phase is recognized as an expense in the period in which it is incurred. Expenditure during the development phase that meets all of the following conditions at the same time is recognized as intangible asset:
- It is technically feasible to complete the intangible asset so that it will be available for use or sale; - The Group has the intention to complete the intangible asset and use or sell it;
- The Group can demonstrate the ways in which the intangible asset will generate economic benefits; - The availability of adequate technical, financial and other resources to complete the development and the ability to use or sell the intangible asset;
- The expenditure attributable to the intangible asset during its development phase can be reliably
measured.
Expenditures that do not meet all of the above conditions at the same time are recognized in profit or loss when incurred. If the expenditures cannot be distinguished between the research phase and development phase, the Group recognizes all of them in profit or loss for the period. Expenditures that have previously been recognized in the profit or loss would not be recognized as an asset in subsequent years. Those expenditures capitalized during the development stage are recognized as development costs incurred and will be transferred to intangible asset when the underlying project is ready for an intended use.
19. Goodwill
The initial cost of goodwill represents the excess of cost of acquisition over theacquirer’s interest in the fair value of the identifiable net assets of the acquiree under a business combination not involving enterprises under common control.
Goodwill is not amortized and is stated in the balance sheet at cost less accumulated impairment losses (see Note III 20). On disposal of an asset group or a set of asset groups, any attributable goodwill is written off and included in the calculation of the profit or loss on disposal.
20. Impairment of long-term assets
The Company assesses at each balance sheet date whether there is any indication that the fixed assets, construction in progress, right of use assets, intangible assets with finite useful lives, investment properties measured at historical cost, investments in subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates may be impaired. If there is any indication that such assets may be impaired, recoverable amounts are estimated for such assets. The recoverable amount of an asset is the higher of its fair value less costs to sell and the present value of the future cash flow estimated to be derived from the asset. The Group estimates the recoverable amount on an individual basis. If it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of the individual asset, the Group determines the recoverable amount of the asset group to which the asset belongs. Identification of an asset group is based on whether major cash inflows generated by the asset group are largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or asset groups.

20. Impairment of long-term assets -(cont’d)
Goodwill arising from a business combination is tested for impairment at least at each year end, irrespective of whether there is any indication that the asset may be impaired. For the purpose of impairment testing, the carrying amount of goodwill acquired in a business combination is allocated from the acquisition date on a reasonable basis to each of the related asset groups; if it is impossible to allocate to the related asset groups, it is allocated to each of the related set of asset groups. Each of the related asset groups or set of asset groups is an asset group or set of asset group that is able to benefit from the synergies of the business combination and shall not be larger than a reportable segment determined by the Group. If the carrying amount of the asset group or set of asset groups is higher than its recoverable amount, the amount of the impairment loss first reduced by the carrying amount of the goodwill allocated to the asset group or set of asset groups, and then the carrying amount of other assets (other than the goodwill) within the asset group or set of asset groups, pro rata based on the carrying amount of each asset.
Once the impairment loss of such assets is recognized, it will not be reversed in any subsequent period. 21. Employee benefits
21.1 Short-term employee benefits
Employee wages or salaries, bonuses, social security contributions, measured on a non-discounted basis, and the expense is recorded when the related service is provided. A provision for short-term employee benefits in respect of cash bonuses is recognized in the amount expected to be paid where the Group has a current legal or constructive obligation to pay the said amount for services provided by the employee in the past and the amount can be estimated reliably.
21.2 Post-employment benefits
Post-employment benefits are classified into defined contribution plans and defined benefit plans.
A defined contribution plan is a post-employment benefit plan under which the Group pays contributions to a separate entity and has no legal or constructive obligation to pay further amounts. Obligations for contributions to defined contribution plans are recognized as an expense in profit or loss in the periods during which related services are rendered by employees.
Defined benefit plans of the Group are post-employment benefit plans other than defined contribution plans. In accordance with the projected unit credit method, the Group measures the obligations under defined benefit plans using unbiased and mutually compatible actuarial assumptions to estimate related demographic variables and financial variables, and discount obligations under the defined benefit plans to determine the present value of the defined benefit liability. The discount rate used is the yield on the reporting date on highly-rated corporate debentures denominated in the same currency, that have maturity dates approximating the terms of theGroup’s obligation.
The Group attributes benefit obligations under a defined benefit plan to periods of service provided by respective employees. Service cost and interest expense on the defined benefit liability are charged to profit or loss and remeasurements of the defined benefit liability are recognized in other comprehensive income.

21. Employee benefits -(cont’d)
21.3 Termination benefits
When the Group terminates the employment with employees or provides compensation under an offer to encourage employees to accept voluntary redundancy, a provision is recognized with a corresponding expense in profit or loss at the earlier of the following dates:
- When the Group cannot unilaterally withdraw the offer of termination benefits because of an employee termination plan or a curtailment proposal.
- When the Group has a formal detailed restructuring plan involving the payment of termination benefits and has raised a valid expectation in those affected that it will carry out the restructuring by starting to implement that plan or announcing its main features to those affected by it.
If the benefits are payable more than 12 months after the end of the reporting period, they are discounted to their present value. The discount rate used is the yield on the reporting date on highly-rated corporate debentures denominated in the same currency, that have maturity dates approximating the terms of theGroup’s obligation.
21.4 Other long-term employee benefits
TheGroup’s net obligation for long-term employee benefits, which are not attributable to post-employment benefit plans, is for the amount of the future benefit to which employees are entitled for services that were provided during the current and prior periods.
The amount of these benefits is discounted to its present value and the fair value of the assets related to these obligations is deducted therefrom. The discount rate used is the yield on the reporting date on highly-rated corporate debentures denominated in the same currency, that have maturity dates approximating the terms of theGroup’s obligation.
22. Share-based payment
Share-based payment refers to the transaction in order to acquire the service offered by the employees or other parties that grants equity instruments or liabilities on the basis of the equity instruments. Share-based payment classified into equity-settled share-based payment and cash-settled share-based payment.
22.1 Cash-settled share-based payment
The cash-settled share-based payment should be measured according to the fair value of the liabilities recognized based on the shares or other equity instrument undertaken by the Company. For cash-settled share-based payment made in return for the rendering of employee services that cannot be exercised until the services are fully provided during the vesting period or specified performance targets are met, 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 expenses and the corresponding liabilities at the fair value of the liability incurred by the Company.
On each balance sheet date and the settlement date before the settlement of the relevant liabilities, the Company should re-measure the fair value of the liabilities and the changes should be included in the current period profit and loss.
ADAMA Ltd. (Expressed in RMB '000) Notes to the Financial Statements
III SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES -(cont’d)
23. Provisions
Provisions are recognized when the Group has a present obligation related to a contingency, 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.
The amount recognized as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present obligation at the settlement date, taking into account factors pertaining to a contingency such as the risks, uncertainties and time value of money. Where the effect of the time value of money is material, the amount of the provision is determined by discounting the related future cash outflows. The increase in the provision due to passage of time is recognized as interest expense.
If all or part of the provision settlements is reimbursed by third parties, when the realization of income is virtually certain, then the related asset should be recognized. However, the amount of related asset recognized should not be exceeding the respective provision amount.
At the balance sheet date, the amount of provision should be re-assessed to reflect the best estimation then. 24. Revenue
Revenue of the Group is mainly from sale of goods.
The Group recognizes revenue when transferring goods to a customer, at the amount of the transaction price. Goods are considered transferred when the customer obtains control of the goods. Transaction price is the amount of consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring goods to a customer, excluding amounts collected on behalf of third parties.
Significant financing component
For a contract with a significant financing component, the Group recognize revenue at an amount that reflects the price that a customer would have paid for the goods if the customer had paid cash for those goods at receipt. The difference between the amount of consideration and the cash selling price of the goods, is amortized in the contract period using effective interest rate. The Group does not adjust the amount of consideration for the effects of a significant financing component if the Group expects, at contract inception, that the period between when the entity transfers a good to a customer and when the customer pays for that good will be one year or less.
Sale with a right of return
For sale with a right of return, the Group recognizes revenue at the amount of consideration to which the Group expects to be entitled (ie excluding the products expected to be returned). For any amounts received (or receivable) for which an entity does not expect to be entitled, the entity shall not recognize revenue when it transfers products to customers but shall recognize those amounts received (or receivable) as a refund liability. An asset recognized for theGroup’s right to recover products from a customer on settling a refund liability shall initially be measured by reference to the former carrying amount of the product less any expected costs to recover those products.

25. Government grants
Government grants are transfer of monetary assets and non-monetary assets from the government to the Group at no consideration, including tax returns, financial subsidies and so on. A government grant is recognized only when the Group can comply with the conditions attached to the grant and the Group will receive the grant.
If a government grant is in the form of a transfer of a monetary asset, it is measured at the amount received or receivable. If a government grant is in the form of a non-monetary asset, it is measured at fair value. If the fair value cannot be reliably determined, it is measured at a nominal amount.
Government grants are either related to assets or income.
(1) The basis of judgment and accounting method of the government grants related to assets
Government grants obtained for acquiring long-term assets are government grants related to assets. A government grant related to an asset is offset with the cost of the relevant asset.
(2) The basis of judgment and accounting method of the government grants related to income
For a government grant related to income, if the grant is a compensation for related expenses or losses to be incurred in subsequent periods, the grant is recognized as deferred income, and recognized in profit or loss over the periods in which the related costs are recognized. If the grant is a compensation for related expenses or losses already incurred, the grant is recognized immediately in profit or loss for the period.
Government grants related to theGroup’s normal course of business are offset with related costs and expenses. Government grants related that are irrelevant with theGroups’s normal course of business are included in non-operating gains.
26. Current and deferred tax
The income tax expenses include current income tax and deferred income tax.
26.1 Current income tax
At the balance sheet date, current income tax liabilities (or assets) for the current and prior periods are measured at the amount expected to be paid (or recovered) according to the requirements of tax laws. 26.2 Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities
Temporary differences are differences between the carrying amounts of certain assets or liabilities and their tax base.
All taxable temporary differences are recognized as related deferred tax liabilities. Deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the deductible losses and tax credits can be utilized.

26. Current and deferred tax -(cont’d)
26.2 Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities -(cont’d)
For deductible losses and tax credits that can be carried forward, deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the deductible losses and tax credits can be utilized. However, for deductible temporary differences associated with the initial recognition of goodwill and the initial recognition of an asset or liability arising from a transaction (not a business combination) that affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profits (or deductible losses) at the time of transaction, no deferred tax asset or liability is recognized.
At the balance sheet date, deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates, according to tax laws, that are expected to apply in the period in which the asset is realized or the liability is settled. Deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries and associates, and interests in joint ventures, except where the Group is able to control the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future.
The Group may be required to pay additional tax in case of distribution of dividends by the Group companies. This additional tax was not included in the financial statements, since the policy of the Group is not to distribute in the foreseeable future a dividend which creates a significant additional tax liability.
Except for those current income tax and deferred tax charged to comprehensive income orshareholders’ equity in respect of transactions or events which have been directly recognized in other comprehensive income orshareholders’ equity, and deferred tax recognized on business combinations, all other current income tax and deferred tax items are charged to profit or loss in the current period.
At the balance sheet date, the carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed and reduced if it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available in the future to allow the benefit of deferred tax assets to be utilized. Such reduction is reversed when it becomes probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available.
26.3 Offset of income tax
When the Group has a legal right to settle current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis, and tax assets and tax liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on either the same taxable entity or different taxable entities which intend to realize the assets and liabilities simultaneously, current tax assets and liabilities are offset and presented on a net basis.
When the Group has a legal right to settle deferred tax assets and liabilities on a net basis which relates to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority, on either the same taxable entity or different taxable entities which intend either to settle current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis or to realize the assets and liabilities simultaneously, in each future period in which significant amounts of deferred tax assets or liabilities are expected to be reversed, deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset and presented on a net basis.

27. Leases
Lease is a contract, that conveys the right to use an asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. 27.1 Determining whether an arrangement contains a lease
On the inception date of the lease, the Group determines whether the arrangement is a lease or contains a lease, while assessing if it conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. In its assessment of whether an arrangement conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset, the Group assesses whether it has the following two rights throughout the lease term:
(a) The right to obtain substantially all the economic benefits from use of the identified asset; and
(b) The right to direct the identifiedasset’s use.
An arrangement does not contain a lease if an asset is leased for a period of less than 12 months, or to lease of asset with low economic value.
27.2 Initial recognition of leased assets and lease liabilities
Upon initial recognition, the Group recognizes a liability at the present value of future lease payments (exclude certain variable lease payments, as detailed in note III 27.4), and concurrently the Group
recognizes a right-of-use asset at the same amount, adjusted for any prepaid lease payments paid at the lease date or before, plus initial direct costs incurred in respect of the lease.
When the interest rate implicit in the lease is not readily determinable, the incremental borrowing rate of the lessee is used.
The Group presents right-of-use assets separately from other assets in the balance sheet.
27.3 The lease term
The lease term is the non-cancellable period of the lease plus periods covered by an extension or
termination option, if it is reasonably certain that the lessee will exercise or not exercise the option, respectively.
If there is a change in the lease term, or in the assessment of an option to purchase the underlying asset, the Group remeasures the lease liability, on the basis of the revised lease term and the revised discount rate and adjust the right-of-use assets accordingly.
27.4 Variable lease payments
Variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, are initially measured using the index or rate existing at the commencement of the lease. When the cash flows of future lease payments change as the result of a change in an index or a rate, the balance of the liability is adjusted with a correspondence change in the right-of-use asset.
Other variable lease payments that are not included in the measurement of the lease liability are recognized in profit or loss in the period in which the condition that triggers payment occurs.

27. Leases(cont’d)
27.5 Subsequent measurement
After lease commencement, a right-of-use asset is measured on a cost basis less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses and is adjusted for re-measurements of the lease liability. The asset is depreciated on a straight-line basis over the useful life or contractual lease period, whichever earlier. The Group applies ASBE8 Impairment of Assets, to determine whether the right-of-use asset is impaired and to account for any impairment loss identified.
A lease liability is measured after the lease commencement date at amortized cost using the effective interest method.
28. Other significant accounting policies and accounting estimates
28.1 Hedging
The Group uses derivative financial instruments to hedge its risks related to foreign currency and inflation risks and derivatives that are not used for hedging.
Hedge accounting
The Group makes an assessment, both at the inception of the hedge relationship as well as on an ongoing basis, whether the hedge is expected to be effective in offsetting the changes in the fair value of cash flows that can be attributed to the hedged risk during the period for which the hedge is designated.
An effective hedge exists when all of the below conditions are met:
•
There is an economic relationship between the hedged item and the hedging instrument;
•
the effect of credit risk does not dominate the value changes that result from that economic relationship;•
the hedge ratio of the hedging relationship is the same as that resulting from the quantity of the hedged item that the entity actually hedges and the quantity of the hedging instrument that the entity actually uses to hedge that quantity of hedged item.
On the commencement date of the accounting hedge, the Group formally documents the relationship between the hedging instrument and hedged item, including theGroup’s risk management objectives and strategy in executing the hedge transaction, together with the methods that will be used by the Group to assess the effectiveness of the hedging relationship.
With respect to a cash-flow hedge, a forecasted transaction that constitutes a hedged item must be highly probable and must give rise to exposure to changes in cash flows that could ultimately affect profit or loss. Measurement of derivative financial instruments
Derivative financial instruments are recognized initially at fair value; attributable transaction costs are recognized in profit or loss as incurred.

28. Other significant accounting policies and accounting estimates -(cont’d)
28.1 Hedging(cont’d)
Cash-flow hedges
Subsequent to the initial recognition, changes in the fair value of derivatives used to hedge cash flows are recognized through other comprehensive income directly in a hedging reserve, with respect to the part of the hedge that is effective. Regarding the portion of the hedge that is not effective, the changes in fair value are recognized in profit and loss. The amount accumulated in the hedging reserve is reclassified to profit and loss in the period in which the hedged cash flows impact profit or loss and is presented in the same line item in the statement of income as the hedged item.
If the hedging instrument no longer meets the criteria for hedge accounting, expires or is sold, terminated or exercised, the hedge accounting is discontinued. The cumulative gain or loss previously recognized in a hedging reserve through other comprehensive income remains in the reserve until the forecasted transaction occurs or is no longer expected to occur. If the forecasted transaction is no longer expected to occur, the cumulative gain or loss in respect of the hedging instrument in the hedging reserve is reclassified to profit or loss.
Economic hedge
Hedge accounting is not applied with respect to derivative instruments used to economically hedge financial assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currency or CPI linked. Changes in the fair value of such derivatives are recognized in profit or loss as gain (loss) from changes in fair value or investment income. Derivatives that are not used for hedging
Changes in the fair value of derivatives that are not used for hedging are recognized in profit or loss as gain (loss) from changes in fair value or investment income.
28.2 Securitization of assets
Details of the securitization of asset agreements and accounting policy are set out in Note V.5 - Account receivables
28.3 Segment reporting
Reportable segments are identified based on operating segments which are determined based on the structure of theGroup’s internal organization, management requirements and internal reporting system.

Two or more operating segments may be aggregated into a single operating segment if the segments have similar economic characteristics and are same or similar in respect of the nature of each product and service, the nature of production processes, the type or class of customers for the products and services, the methods used to distribute the products or provide the services, and the nature of the regulatory environment. Inter-segment revenues are measured on the basis of actual transaction price for such transactions for segment reporting. Segment accounting policies are consistent with those for the consolidated financial statements. 28.4 Profit distributions to shareholders
Dividends which are approved after the balance sheet date are not recognized as a liability at the balance sheet date but are disclosed in the notes separately.

Therevised accounting policies for leases are presents in Note III.27For existing contracts at the initial application date, the Group elects not tore-assess whether they are, or contain leases. Contracts that are signed or modified after the dateof initial application, the Group assess whether they are, or contain leases, according to thedefinition of lease in the new lease standards.The Group adjusts all relevant financial accounts at the initial application date, for the accumulatedimpact from the new lease standards, with no retrospective adjustments for comparative numbers.The Group elected to apply the transitional provision of recognizing a right-of-use asset at thesame amount of the lease liability, adjusted for any prepaid or accrued lease payments that wererecognized as an asset or liability before the date of initial application, and therefore, theimplementation of the standard does not affect retained earnings balance at the date of initialapplication.|The accountingpolicy changewas approvedby the board ofdirectorsmeeting in28.4.2019|

|For operating leases before the initial application date, the Group adopts the simplifyingapproaches below for each lease:- When determining lease liabilities, the same discount rate will be used for leases with similarcharacteristics;- For leases with options to extend or terminate, the Group determines the lease term based onthe actual exercise of options before the initial application date and other most updatedinformation;- As a substitute of impairment test for right-of-use assets, the Group applies ASBE13Contingencies, to assess if the contract containing a lease is a loss contract and adjust theright of-use assets based on the loss incurred at the initial application date.- For lease modifications before the initial application date, the Group makes accountingtreatments based on the final lease arrangements after the lease modification.On January 1, 2019, as a result of the implementation of the standard, the lease liabilities increasedby 506,862 thousands RMB, and right-of-use assets by 506,862 thousands RMB. For operatingleases before the initial application date, the Group measures the lease liability at the present valueof the lease payments, with the incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate. The borrowingrates are between 1.9% to 6.1%.||

30. Significant accounting estimates and judgments
The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates. Estimates as well as underlying assumptions and uncertainties involved are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised and in any future periods affected.
Notes V.34, Note VIII, Note IX and Note XIII contain information about the assumptions and their risk factors relating to post-employment benefits– defined benefit plans, fair value of financial instruments and share-based payments. Other key sources of estimation uncertainty are as follows:
30.1 Impairment of trade receivables
As described in Note III.11, trade receivables are reviewed at each balance sheet date to determine whether credit risk on a receivable has increased significantly since initial recognition, lifetime expected losses is accrued for impairment provision. Evidence of impairment includes observable data that comes to the attention of the Group about loss events such as a significant decline in the solvency of an individual debtor or the portfolio of debtors, and significant changes in the financial condition that have an adverse effect on the debtor. If there is objective evidence of a recovery in the value of receivables which can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognized, the previously recognized impairment loss is reversed.
30.2 Provision for impairment of inventories
As described in Note III.12, the net realisable value of inventories is undermanagement’s regular review, and as a result, provision for impairment of inventories is recognized for the excess ofinventories’ carrying amounts over their net realisable value. When making estimates of net realisable value, the Group takes into consideration the use of inventories held on hand and other information available to form the underlying assumptions, including theinventories’ market prices and theGroup’s historical operating costs. The actual selling price, the costs of completion and the costs necessary to make the sale and relevant taxes may vary based on the changes in market conditions and product saleability, manufacturing technology and the actual use of the inventories, resulting in the changes in provision for impairment of inventories. The net profit or loss may then be affected in the period when the impairment of inventories is adjusted.

30.3 Impairment of assets other than inventories and financial assets
As described in Note III.20, if impairment indication exists, assets other than inventories and financial assets are assessed at balance sheet date to determine whether the carrying amount exceeds the recoverable amount of the assets. If any such case exists, an impairment loss is recognized.
The recoverable amount of an asset (or an asset group) is the greater of its fair value less costs to sell and its present value of expected future cash flows. Since a market price of the asset (or the asset group) cannot be obtained reliably, the fair value of the asset cannot be estimated reliably, the recoverable amount is calculated based on the present value of estimated future cash flows. In assessing the present value of estimated future cash flows, significant judgements are exercised over theasset’s production, selling price, related operating expenses and discount rate to calculate the present value. All relevant materials which can be obtained are used for estimation of the recoverable amount, including the estimation of the production, selling price and related operating expenses based on reasonable and supportable assumptions.
30.4 Depreciation and amortisation of assets such as fixed assets and intangible assets
As described in Note III.15 and III.18, assets such as fixed assets and intangible assets are depreciated and amortised over their useful lives after taking into account residual value. The estimated useful lives of the assets are regularly reviewed to determine the depreciation and amortisation costs charged in each reporting period. The useful lives of the assets are determined based on historical experience of similar assets and the estimated technical changes. If there have been significant changes in the factors used to determine the depreciation or amortisation, the rate of depreciation or amortisation is revised prospectively.
30.5 Income taxes and deferred income tax
The Company and Group companies are assessed for income tax purposes in a large number of jurisdictions and, therefore, Company management is required to use considerable judgment in determining the total provision for taxes and attribution of income.
When assessing whether there will be sufficient future taxable profits available against which the deductible temporary differences can be utilised, the Group recognizes deferred tax assets to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the deductible temporary differences can be utilised, using tax rates that would apply in the period when the asset would be utilised. In determining the amount of deferred tax assets, the Group makes reasonable judgements and estimates about the timing and amount of taxable profits to be utilised in the following periods, and of the tax rates applicable in the future according to the existing tax policies and other relevant regulations. If the actual timing and amount of future taxable profits or the actual applicable tax rates differ from the estimates made by management, the differences affect the amount of tax expenses.

30.6 Contingent liabilities
When assessing the possible outcomes of legal claims filed against the Company and its investee companies, the company positions are based on the opinions of their legal advisors. These assessments by the legal advisors are based on their professional judgment, considering the stage of the proceedings and the legal experience accumulated regarding the various matters. Since the results of the claims will be determined by the courts, the outcomes could be different from the assessments.
In addition to the said claims, the Group is exposed to unasserted claims, inter alia, where there is doubt as to interpretation of the agreement and/or legal provision and/or the manner of their implementation. This exposure is brought to theCompany’s attention in several ways, among others, by means of contacts made to Company personnel. In assessing the risk deriving from the unasserted claims, the Company relies on internal assessments by the parties dealing with these matters and by management, who weigh assessment of the prospects of a claim being filed, and the chances of its success, if filed. The assessment is based on experience gained with respect to the filing of claims and the analysis of the details of each claim. By their nature, in view of the preliminary stage of the clarification of the legal claim, the actual outcome could be different from the assessment made before the claim was filed.
30.7 Employee benefits
TheGroup’s liabilities for long-term post-employment and other benefits are calculated according to the estimated future amount of the benefit to which the employee will be entitled in consideration for his services during the current period and prior periods. The benefit is stated at present value net of the fair value of theplan’s assets, based on actuarial assumptions. Changes in the actuarial assumptions could lead to material changes in the book value of the liabilities and in the operating results.
30.8 Derivative financial instruments
The Group enters into transactions in derivative financial instruments for the purpose of hedging risks related to foreign currency and inflationary risks. The derivatives are recorded at their fair value. The fair value of derivative financial instruments is based on quotes from financial institutions. The reasonableness of the quotes is examined by discounting the future cash flows, based on the terms and length of the period to maturity of each contract, while using market interest rates of a similar instrument as of the measurement date. Changes in the assumptions and the calculation model could lead to material changes in the fair value of the assets and liabilities and in the results.

The maximum scope of the securitization is adjusted for the seasonal changes in the scope of theCompany’s activities, as follows: during the months March through June the maximum scope of the securitization is$350 million (as of June 30, 2019 - 2,406 million RMB), during the months July through September the maximum scope of the securitization is$300 million (as of June 30, 2019 - 2,062 million RMB) and during the months October through February the maximum scope of the securitization is$250 million (as of June 30, 2019 - 1,719 million RMB). The proceeds received from those customers whose debts were sold are used for acquisition of new trade receivables.
The price at which the trade receivables debts are sold is the amount of the debt sold less a discount calculated based on, among other things, the expected length of the period between the date of sale of the trade receivable and its anticipated repayment date. In the month following acquisition of the debt, the Acquiring Company pays in cash most of the debt while the remainder is recorded as a subordinated note that is paid after collection of the debt sold. If the customer does not pay its debt on the anticipated repayment date, the Company bears interest up to the earlier of the date on which the debt is actually repaid or the date on which debt collection is transferred to the insurance company (the actual costs are not significant and are not expected to be significant).
The Acquiring Company bears95% of the credit risk in respect of the customers whose debts were sold and will not have a right of recourse to the Company in respect of the amounts paid in cash, except regarding debts with respect to which a commercial dispute arises between the companies and their customers, that is, a dispute the source of which is a claim of non-fulfillment of an obligation of the seller in the supply agreement covering the product, such as: a failure to supply the correct product, a defect in the product, delinquency in the supply date, and the like.
The Acquiring Company appointed a policy manager who will manage for it the credit risk involved with the trade receivables sold, including an undertaking with an insurance company.
Pursuant to the Receivables Servicing Agreement, the Group subsidiaries handle collection of the trade receivables as part of the Securitization Transaction for the benefit of the Acquiring Company.
As part of the agreement, Solutions is committed to comply with certain financial covenants, mainly the ratio of the liabilities to equity and profit ratios. As of June 30, 2019, Solutions was in compliance with the financial covenants.
The accounting treatment of sale of the trade receivables included as part of the Securitization Program is: The Company is not controlling the Acquiring Company, therefore the Acquiring Company is not
consolidated in the financial statements.
The Company continues to recognize the trade receivables included in the Securitization Program based on the extent of its continuing involvement therein.
In respect of the part of the trade receivables included in the securitization Program with respect to which cash proceeds were not yet received, however regarding which the Company has transferred the credit risk, a subordinated note is recorded.
The continuing involvement and subordinated note recorded in the balance sheet as part of the “other
receivables” line item.

The loss from sale of the trade receivables is recorded at the time of sale in the statement of income in the “financing expenses” line item.
In the fourth quarter of 2016, a subsidiary in Brazil (hereinafter - “the subsidiary”) entered into a 3 years securitization transaction with Rabobank Brazil for sale of trade receivables. Under the agreement, the subsidiary will sell its trade receivables to a securitization structure (hereinafter - “the entity”) that was formed for this purpose where the subsidiary has subordinate rights of5% of the entity's capital.
The maximum securitization scope amounts to BRL 200 million (as of June 30, 2019 - 359 million RMB). On the date of the sale of the trade receivables, the entity pays the full amount which is the debt amount sold net of discount calculated, among others, over the expected length of the period between the date of sale of the customer receivable and its anticipated repayment date.
The entity bears90% of the credit risk in respect of the customers whose debts were sold such that the entity has the right of recourse of10% of the unpaid amount. The subsidiary should make a pledged deposit equal to the amount theentity’s right of recourse.
The subsidiary handles the collection of receivables included in the securitization for the entity.
The subsidiary does not control the entity and therefore the entity is not consolidated in the group's financial statements.
The subsidiary continues to recognize the trade receivables sold to the entity based on the extent of its continuing involvement therein(10% right of recourse) and also recognizes an associated liability in the same amount.
The loss from the sale of the trade receivables is recorded at the time of sale in the statement of income in the “financing expenses” category.

In January 2019, the Company, through a subsidiary of Solutions, acquired Bonide Products Inc., a US provider of pest-control solutions for the consumer Home& Garden use, allowing the Company to bring its advanced technologies and differentiated portfolio of pest-control directly to the consumers.
Bonide was purchased for a consideration of approximately 830 million RMB. As of January 7, 2019 (hereinafter: “date of the business combination”), control has been achieved and the Group consolidates the results of Bonide in its consolidated financial statements. Upon the consolidation of Bonide, the identified tangible assets, identifiable intangible assets and identifiable liabilities were included in the consolidated statement of financial position as of the date of the business combination at their fair value based on the information held by the management of the Company and the management of Bonide on the date close to the date of acquisition, and based, inter alia, on external consultants in this matter.
The initial accounting treatment for the acquisition of the operations, as presented in these interim financial statements, is accounted for using provisional amounts (as this term is defined in ASBE 20 Business combination). Until the date of approval of the interim financial statements, the Group has not yet completed the initial important treatment of Bonide's business combination, including the estimation of the fair value of the acquired assets and the goodwill.

VIII. Risk Related to Financial Instruments
A. General
The Group has extensive international operations, and, therefore, it is exposed to credit risks, liquidity risks and market risks (including currency risk, interest risk and other price risk). In order to reduce the exposure to these risks, the Group uses financial derivatives instruments, including forward transactions and options (hereinafter - “derivatives”).
Transactions in derivatives are undertaken with major financial institutions, and therefore, in the opinion of Group Management the credit risk in respect thereof is low.
This note provides information on theGroup’s exposure to each of the above risks, theGroup’s objectives, policies and processes regarding the measurement and management of the risk. Additional quantitative disclosure is included throughout the consolidated financial statements.
The Board of Directors has overall responsibility for establishing and monitoring the framework of the Group's risk management policy. The Finance Committee is responsible for establishing and monitoring the Group's actual risk management policy. The Chief Financial Officer reports to the Finance Committee on a regular basis regarding these risks.
TheGroup’s risk management policy, established to identify and analyze the risks facing the Group, to set appropriate risk limits and controls, and to monitor risks and adherence to limits. The policy and methods for managing the risks are reviewed regularly, in order to reflect changes in market conditions and the Group's activities. The Group, through training, and management standards and procedures, aims to develop a disciplined and constructive control environment in which all the employees understand their roles and obligations.
B. Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Group if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations, and derives mainly from trade receivables and other receivables as well as from cash and deposits in financial institutions.
Accounts and other receivables
TheGroup’s revenues are derived from a large number of widely dispersed customers in many countries. Customers include multi-national companies and manufacturing companies, as well as distributors, agriculturists, agents and agrochemical manufacturers who purchase the products either as finished goods or as intermediate products for their own requirements.
The Company entered into an agreement for the sale of trade receivables in a securitization transaction, for details see note V.5e.
In April 2018, a two-years agreement with an international insurance company was renewed. The amount of the insurance coverage was fixed at$150 million cumulative per year. The indemnification is limited to about90% of the debt.
TheGroup’s exposure to credit risk is influenced mainly by the personal characterization of each customer, and by the demographic characterization of thecustomer’s base, including the risk of insolvency of the industry and geographic region in which the customer operates. No single customer accounted for greater than5% of total accounts receivable.
ADAMA Ltd. (Expressed in RMB '000) Notes to the Financial Statements
VIII. Risk Related to Financial Instruments -(cont’d)
B. Credit risk -(cont’d)
The Company management has prescribed a credit policy, whereby the Company performs current ongoing credit evaluations of existing and new customers, and every new customer is examined thoroughly regarding the quality of his credit, before offering him theGroup’s customary shipping and payment terms. The examination made by the Group includes an outside credit rating, if any, and in many cases, receipt of documents from an insurance company. A credit limit is prescribed for each customer, outstanding amount of the accounts receivable balance. These limits are examined annually. Customers that do not meet theGroup’s criteria for credit quality may do business with the Group on the basis of a prepayment or against furnishing of appropriate collateral.
Most of theGroup’s customers have been doing business with it for many years. In monitoring customer credit risk, the customers were grouped according to a characterization of their credit, based on geographical location, industry, aging of receivables, maturity, and existence of past financial difficulties. Customers defined as “high risk” are classified to the restricted customer list and are supervised by management. In certain countries, mainly, Brazil, customers are required to provide property collaterals (such as agricultural lands and equipment) against execution of the sales, the value of which is examined on a current ongoing basis by the Company. In these countries, in a case of expected credit risk, the Company records a provision for the amount of the debt less the value of the collaterals provided and acts to realize the collaterals.
The Group closely monitors the economic situation in Eastern Europe and South America where necessary it operates to limit its exposure to customers in countries having significantly unstable economies.
The Group recognizes an impairment provision, which reflects its assessment regarding the credit risk of account receivables. Other receivables and investments on a lifetime expected credit loss basis. See also notesⅢ Ⅲ
.10 and .11.
Cash and deposits in banks
The Company holds cash and deposits in banks with a high credit rating. These banks are also required to comply with capital adequacy or maintain a level of security based on different situations.
Guarantees
TheCompany’s policy is to provide financial guarantees only to investee companies.
Aging of receivables and expected credit risk
Presented below is the aging of the past due trade receivables:
June 30, 2019 Past due by less than 90 days 452,611 Past due by more than 90 days 614,452 1,067,063
ADAMA Ltd. (Expressed in RMB '000) Notes to the Financial Statements
VIII. Risk Related to Financial Instruments -(cont’d)
B. Credit risk -(cont’d)
The company measure the provision for credit losses on a collective group basis, where receivables share similar credit risk characteristics based on geographical locations. The examination for expected credit losses is performed using model including aging analysis and historical loss experiences, and adjusted by the observable factors reflecting current and expected future economic conditions.
When credit risk on a receivable has increased significantly since initial recognition, the group records specific provision or general provision which is determined in countries in which there are large number of customers with immaterial balances.
The Group has credit risk exposures for accounts receivables amounted to RMB 7,478,332 thousand relate to category of "Lifetime expected credit losses (credit losses has not occurred)" and amounted to RMB 629,633 thousand related to category of "Lifetime expected credit losses (credit losses occurred)". The Group has credit risk exposures for other receivables amounted to RMB 14,832 thousand related to category of "Lifetime expected credit losses (credit losses occurred)". The credit risk exposures for all remaining balance of financial assets at amortised cost and financial assets at FVTOCI are related to "12-month expected credit losses". C. Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will encounter difficulty in meeting its financial obligation when they come due. The Group's approach to managing its liquidity risk is to assure, to the extent possible, an adequate degree of liquidity for meeting its obligations timely, under ordinary conditions and under pressure conditions, without sustaining unwanted losses or hurting its reputation.
The cash-flow forecast is determined both at the level of the various entities as well as of the consolidated level. The Company examines the current forecasts of its liquidity requirements in order to ascertain that there is sufficient cash for the operating needs, including the amounts required in order to comply with the financial liabilities, while taking strict care that at all times there will be unused credit frameworks so that the Company will not exceed the credit frameworks granted to it and the financial covenants with which it is required to comply with. These forecasts take into consideration matters such as theCompany’s plans to use debt for financing its activities, compliance with required financial covenants, compliance with certain liquidity ratios and compliance with external requirements such as laws or regulation.
The surplus cash held by the Group subsidiaries, which is not required for financing the current ongoing operations, is invested in short-term interest-bearing investment channels.

Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices, such as foreign exchange rates, CPI, interest rates and prices of capital instruments, will affect theGroup’s revenues or the value of its holdings in its financial instruments. The objective of market risk management is to manage and monitor the exposure to market risks within acceptable parameters, while optimizing the return.
During the ordinary course of business, the Group purchases and sells derivatives and assumes financial liabilities for the purpose of managing market risks.
(1) CPI and foreign currency risks
Currency risk
The Group is exposed to currency risk from its sales, purchases, expenses and loans denominated in currencies that differ from theGroup’s functional currency. The main exposure is in Euro, Brazilian real, USD and in NIS. In addition, there are smaller exposures to various currencies such as the British pound, Polish zloty, Australian dollar, Indian rupee, Argentine peso, Canadian dollar, South African Rand, Ukraine Hryunia, the Turkish lira and Chinese Yuan Renminbi.
The Group uses foreign currency derivatives– forward transactions and currency options– in order to hedge the cash flows risk, which derive from existing monetary assets and liabilities and anticipated sales and purchases, which may be affected by exchange rate fluctuations.

D. Market risks -(cont’d)
(1) CPI and foreign currency risks -(cont’d)
The Group hedged a part of the estimated currency exposure to anticipate sales and purchases for the subsequent year. Likewise, the Group hedges most of its monetary assets and liabilities denominated in a non- U.S. dollar currency. The Group uses foreign currency derivatives to hedge its currency risk, mostly with maturity dates of less than one year from the reporting date.
Solutions debentures are linked to the NIS-CPI and, therefore, an increase in the NIS-CPI, as well as changes in the NIS exchange rate, could cause significant exposure with respect to the subsidiary functional currency– the U.S. dollar. As of the approval date of the financial statements, the subsidiary had hedged most of its exposure deriving from issuance of the debentures, in options and forward contracts.

The Group has exposure to changes in the variable interest rate. The Group has different assets and liabilities in different countries which bear interest according to the economic environment in each country. Most of the loans, other than the debentures, bear Dollar Libor interest. As a result, most of the variable interest exposure of those loans is to the Libor interest. Due to market conditions, the variable interest rates on cash are relatively low.
The Company prepares a quarterly summary of exposure to a change in the Libor interest rate. As at the approval date of the financial statements, the Company had not hedged this exposure.

IX. Fair Value
The fair value of forward contracts on foreign currency is based on their listed market price, if available. In the absence of market prices, the fair value is estimated based on the discounted difference between the stated forward price in the contract and the current forward price for the residual period until redemption, using an appropriate interest rate.
The fair value of foreign currency options is based on bank quotes. The reasonableness of the quotes is evaluated through discounting future cash flow estimates, based on the conditions and duration to maturity of each contract, using the market interest rates of a similar instrument at the measurement date and in accordance with the Black& Scholes model.

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The table below presents an analysis of financial instruments measured at fair value. The various levels have been defined as follows:
 Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active market for identical instrument.
 Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly. Level 3: inputs that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).
TheCompany’s forward contracts and options are carried at fair value and are evaluated by observable inputs and therefore are concurrent with the definition of level 2.

1. Significant commitments
June 30 December 31 2019 2018 (Restated) Investment in Fixed assets 711,386 667,785 2. Commitments and Contingent Liabilities
On December 10, 2018 the 9th meeting of the 8th session of the Board of Directors of the Company resolved to approve the extension of the engagement in annual liability insurance policies for directors, supervisors and senior officers of the Company as approved by the 22nd meeting of the 7th session of Board of Directors and the 4th interim Shareholders meeting, and to authorize the management to annually deal with all matters relating to renewal/extension of the customaryD&O liability insurance policies, with up to20% flexibility in the relevant terms of the original policy. On December 26, 2018 the 3rd interim Shareholders meeting approved the above resolution.
Environmental protection
The manufacturing processes of the Company, and the products it produces and markets, entail environmental risks that impact the environment. The Company invests substantial resources in order to comply with the applicable environmental laws and attempts to prevent or minimize the environmental risks that could occur as a result of its activities. To the best of theCompany’s knowledge, at the balance sheet date, none of its applicable permits and licenses with respect to environmental issues have been revoked.
At the end of January 2019, the Company voluntarily suspended operations atSanonda’s old site in Jingzhou, which is in the process of being relocated to a nearby advanced site, due to recording of higher than permitted levels of wastewater compounds. The Company was subsequently instructed by the local government not to resume operations before rectification. The Company rectified the discharge levels and at the beginning of April 2019 resumed operations at the old site. Following the resumption, the Company is advancing the gradual ramp- up of production. As the ramp-up of production proceeds, the site continues to remain under inspection of the relevant authorities with whom the Company is working in close and constant collaboration.
Claims against subsidiaries
In the ordinary course of business, legal claims are filed against subsidiaries, including lawsuits, regarding claims for patent infringement. Inter alia, from time to time, the Company, similar to other companies operating in the plant protection industry, is exposed to class actions for large amounts, which it must defend against while incurring considerable costs, even if these claims, from the start, have no basis. In the estimation of theCompany’s management, based, inter alia, on opinions of its legal counsel regarding the prospects of the proceedings, the financial statements include appropriate provisions where necessary to cover the exposure resulting from the claims.
Various immaterial claims have been filed against Group companies in courts throughout the world, in immaterial amounts, for causes of action involving mainly employee-employer relations and various civil claims, for which the Company did not record a provision in the financial statements. Furthermore, claims were filed for product liability damages, for which the Company has appropriate insurance coverage, such that theCompany’s exposure in respect thereof is limited to the amount its deductible requirement or the amount thereof does not exceed the deductible amount.
XII. Events subsequent to the balance sheet date
There are no events occur after the balance sheet date.
