2、 Conditions and reasons for withdrawing asset impairment

Based on the expected loss, the company accrues the impairment provision for the following items according to the applicable expected credit loss measurement method, and recognizes the impairment loss.

In 2021, the company made credit impairment provision of 86.021 million yuan for accounts receivable, 8.6262 million yuan for other receivables, 286600 yuan for notes receivable and 4.9708 million yuan for contract assets. The main reasons for the provision for impairment are: first, the aging of accounts receivable; Second, the balance of receivables and contract assets increased. 3、 Recognition standard and withdrawal method of asset impairment withdrawn this time

When there are the following signs, it indicates that the asset may be impaired:

(1) The market price of assets has fallen sharply in the current period, and the decline is significantly higher than the expected decline due to the passage of time or normal use.

(2) The economic, technical or legal environment in which the company operates and the market in which the assets are located will undergo significant changes in the current period or in the near future, which will have an adverse impact on the company.

(3) The market interest rate or other market return on investment has increased in the current period, which affects the discount rate used by the enterprise to calculate the present value of the expected future cash flow of the asset, resulting in a significant reduction in the recoverable amount of the asset.

(4) There is evidence that the asset is obsolete or its entity has been damaged.

(5) Assets have been or will be idle, terminated or planned to be disposed in advance.

(6) The evidence in the internal report of the company indicates that the economic performance of the assets has been or will be lower than the expectation, such as the net cash flow created by the assets or the operating profit (or loss) realized is far lower than the expected amount.

(7) Other signs indicating that the assets may have been impaired.

On the balance sheet date, the company judges the long-term equity investment, fixed assets, engineering materials, construction in progress, right of use assets, intangible assets (except those with uncertain service life) and other assets applicable to the accounting standards for Business Enterprises No. 8 – asset impairment. When there are signs of impairment, the company will conduct impairment test – estimate its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is determined by the higher one between the net amount of the fair value of the asset minus the disposal expenses and the present value of the expected future cash flow of the asset. If the recoverable amount of an asset is lower than its book value, the book value of the asset shall be written down to the recoverable amount. The written down amount shall be recognized as asset impairment loss and included in the current profits and losses, and the corresponding asset impairment reserves shall be accrued at the same time.

If there is any indication that an asset may be impaired, the company usually estimates its recoverable amount on the basis of individual assets. If it is difficult to estimate the recoverable amount of a single asset, the recoverable amount of the asset group shall be determined based on the asset group to which the asset belongs.

Asset group is the smallest asset portfolio that can be recognized by the company, and its cash inflow is basically independent of other assets or asset groups. The asset group consists of assets related to the creation of cash inflows. The recognition of an asset group is based on whether the main cash inflow generated by the asset group is independent of the cash inflow of other assets or asset groups.

The company conducts annual impairment test on the goodwill and intangible assets with uncertain service life and not yet in serviceable condition formed by business combination, regardless of whether there are signs of impairment. The impairment test of goodwill shall be conducted in combination with its related asset group or combination of asset groups.

Once the asset impairment loss is recognized, it shall not be reversed in the subsequent accounting periods.
