2. Basis for withdrawing inventory falling price reserves

According to the requirements of accounting standards for Business Enterprises No. 1 – inventory, accounting standards for Business Enterprises No. 5 – biological assets, accounting standards for Business Enterprises No. 8 – asset impairment and Application guide, the company checks all inventories at the end of the period and carries out impairment test according to the requirements. The specific calculation methods are as follows:

After a comprehensive inventory of inventories at the end of the period, the inventory falling price reserves shall be withdrawn or adjusted according to the lower of the inventory cost and net realizable value. The net realizable value of finished products, goods in stock, materials for sale and other goods inventories directly for sale shall be determined by the amount of the estimated selling price of the inventory minus the estimated selling expenses and relevant taxes in the normal process of production and operation; For the inventory of materials that need to be processed, in the normal production and operation process, the net realizable value is determined by the estimated selling price of the finished products minus the estimated cost to be incurred at the time of completion, estimated selling expenses and relevant taxes; The net realizable value of inventories held for the execution of sales contracts or labor contracts is calculated based on the contract price. If the quantity of inventories held is more than the quantity ordered in the sales contract, the net realizable value of excess inventories is calculated based on the general sales price.

At the end of the period, the inventory falling price reserves are accrued according to a single inventory item; However, for the inventory with large quantity and low unit price, the inventory falling price reserves shall be withdrawn according to the inventory category; If the inventories are related to the product series produced and sold in the same region, have the same or similar end use or purpose, and are difficult to be measured separately from other items, the inventory falling price reserves shall be accrued jointly.

If the factors affecting the previous write down of inventory value have disappeared, the amount of write down shall be restored and reversed within the amount of inventory falling price reserve originally withdrawn, and the reversed amount shall be included in the current profit and loss.

The company shall inspect the consumptive biological assets and productive biological assets at least at the end of each year, and there is conclusive evidence that the net realizable value of consumptive biological assets or the recoverable amount of productive biological assets is lower than its book value due to natural disasters, pests, animal diseases or changes in market demand, According to the difference between the net realizable value or the recoverable amount and the book value, the provision for depreciation or impairment of biological assets shall be withdrawn and included in the current profits and losses.

If the factors affecting the impairment of consumptive biological assets have disappeared, the write down amount shall be restored, and shall be reversed within the originally accrued depreciation reserve, and the reversed amount shall be included in the current profit and loss. Once the provision for impairment of productive biological assets is withdrawn, it shall not be reversed. 3. Reasons for withdrawing inventory falling price reserves

(1) Raw materials and goods in stock

The company estimates that the provision for inventory falling price of raw materials at the end of the period is 1.5574 million yuan, which is mainly due to the decline in the market price of some imported cod raw materials; The provision for inventory falling price of goods in stock is 3.3499 million yuan, mainly because the net realizable value of some export products is lower than the book cost due to the decline of exchange rate and other reasons.

(2) Expendable biological assets

The company estimates that the provision for depreciation of consumable biological assets at the end of the period is 28.7044 million yuan, which is the impairment of bottom sowing shrimp scallop. At the end of December 2021 and the first and middle of January 2022, the personnel of the national marine environment monitoring center, the annual audit accounting firm and the company jointly conducted a resource survey on the shrimp scallop planted at the bottom of the seedling in 2019 and 2020 in the Zoneco Group Co.Ltd(002069) area. The company calculates the net realizable value and impairment provision of bottom seeded shrimp and scallop according to the on-site resource survey data, the book cost of bottom seeded shrimp and scallop and other relevant financial data at the end of the period, and the relevant provisions of the accounting standards for business enterprises.

Since the stock of bottom seeded shrimp scallop resources invested in 2020 is too low, and the net realizable value is lower than its book value, the impairment provision is withdrawn according to the difference between the net realizable value and the book value. According to the survey, the ending resource stock of bottom seeded shrimp scallop in 2020 is estimated to be 25.6498 million, the estimated sales revenue is 65.92 million yuan, the estimated harvest cost is 21.232 million yuan, and the estimated net realizable value is 44.6880 yuan, which is 28.7044 million yuan compared with the ending book cost of 73.3924 million yuan. Therefore, the provision for impairment is 28.7044 million yuan. The net realizable value of the bottom seeded shrimp scallop in 2019 is higher than the book cost, so there is no need to make provision for inventory falling price.

Calculation of net realizable value and impairment loss of bottom seeded shrimp scallop scallop:

Estimated net realizable value at the end of the period
