PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) 2.1 Impacts and changes in accounting policies of application on HKFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers The Group has applied HKFRS 15 for the first time in the current interim period. HKFRS 15 superseded HKAS 18 Revenue, HKAS 11 Construction Contracts and the related interpretations. The Group recognises revenue from the following major sources: Revenue from sale of goods Interest income Dividend income Rental income Service fee income The Group has applied HKFRS 15 retrospectively with the cumulative effect of initially applying this standard recognised at the date of initial application, 1 January 2018. Furthermore, in accordance with the transition provisions in HKFRS 15, the Group has elected to apply the standard retrospectively only to contracts that are not completed at 1 January 2018 and has used the practical expedient for all contract modifications that occurred before the date of initial application, the aggregate effect of all of the modifications was reflected as the date of initial application. Accordingly, certain comparative information may not be comparable as comparative information was prepared under HKAS 18 Revenue and HKAS 11 Construction Contracts and the related interpretations. 2018 13

2. 2.1 15 15 15 15 9 NOTES TO THE CONDENSED consolidated FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) 2. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) 2.1 Impacts and changes in accounting policies of application on HKFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers (continued) Key changes in accounting policies resulting from application of HKFRS 15 HKFRS 15 introduces a 5-step approach when recognising revenue: Step 1: Identify the contract(s) with a customer Step 2: Identify the performance obligations in the contract Step 3: Determine the transaction price Step 4: Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract Step 5: Recognise revenue when (or as) the Group satisfies a performance obligation. Under HKFRS 15, the Group recognises revenue when (or as) a performance obligation is satisfied, i.e. when control of the goods or services underlying the particular performance obligation is transferred to the customer. A performance obligation represents a good and service (or a bundle of goods or services) that is distinct or a series of distinct goods or services that are substantially the same. Control is transferred over time and revenue is recognised over time by reference to the progress towards complete satisfaction of the relevant performance obligation if one of the following criteria is met the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits provided by the Group s performance as the Group performs; the Group s performance creates and enhances an asset that the customer controls as the Group performs; or the Group s performance does not create an asset with an alternative use to the Group and the Group has an enforceable right to payment for performance completed to date. Otherwise, revenue is recognised at a point in time when the customer obtains control of the distinct good or service. A contract asset represents the Group s right to consideration in exchange for goods or services that the Group has transferred to a customer that is not yet unconditional. It is assessed for impairment in accordance with HKFRS 9. In contrast, a receivable represents the Group s unconditional right to consideration, i.e. only the passage of time is required before payment of that consideration is due. A contract liability represents the Group s obligation to transfer goods or services to a customer for which the Group has received consideration (or an amount of consideration is due) from the customer. 14 Rare Earth Magnesium Technology Group Holdings Limited Interim Report 2018

PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) 2.1 Impacts and changes in accounting policies of application on HKFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers (continued) Impacts of application on HKFRS 15 The Group's business model is straight forward and its contracts with customers for the sale of magnesium products and electronic products (presented as discontinued operation during the period 2018) include only single performance obligation. The Group has concluded that revenue from sale should be recognised at the point in time when a customer obtains control. The Group has concluded that the initial application of HKFRS 15 does not have a significant impact on the Group's revenue recognition. The Group has been impacted by HKFRS 15 in relation to the presentation of contract liabilities. The initial application of HKFRS 15 recognised the opening balance of contract liabilities of HK$10,745,000 which is related to receipts in advance and previously include in accrual and other payables. The comparative information is not restated. 2.2 Impacts and changes in accounting policies of application on HKFRS 9 Financial Instruments In the current period, the Group has applied HKFRS 9 Financial Instruments and the related consequential amendments to other HKFRSs. HKFRS 9 introduces new requirements for 1)the classification and measurement of financial assets and financial liabilities, 2) expected credit losses ( ECL ) for financial assets and 3) general hedge accounting. The Group has applied HKFRS 9 in accordance with the transition provisions set out in HKFRS 9. i.e. applied the classification and measurement requirements (including impairment) retrospectively to instruments that have not been derecognised as at 1 January 2018 (date of initial application) with the cumulative effect of initial application recognised at the date of initial application and has not applied the requirements to instruments that have already been derecognised as at 1 January 2018. Accordingly, certain comparative information may not be comparable as comparative information was prepared under HKAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement. 2018 15

PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) 2.2 Impacts and changes in accounting policies of application on HKFRS 9 Financial Instruments (continued) 2.2.1 Key changes in accounting policies resulting from application of HKFRS 9 Classification and measurement of financial assets Trade receivables arising from contracts with customers are initially measured in accordance with HKFRS 15. All recognised financial assets that are within the scope of HKFRS 9 are subsequently measured at amortised cost or fair value, including unquoted equity investments measured at cost less impairment under HKAS 39. Debt instruments that meet the following conditions are subsequently measured at amortised cost: the financial asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold financial assets in order to collect contractual cash flows; and 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. Equity instruments designated as at FVTOCI At the date of initial application/initial recognition, the Group may make an irrevocable election (on an instrumentby-instrument basis) to designate investments in equity instruments as at fair value through other comprehensive income ( FVTOCI ). Investments in equity instruments at FVTOCI are initially measured at fair value plus transaction costs. Subsequently, they are measured at fair value with gains and losses arising from changes in fair value recognised in other comprehensive income; and are not subject to impairment assessment. The cumulative gain or loss accumulated in fair value through other comprehensive income reserve will not be reclassified to profit or loss on disposal of the equity investments, and will be transferred to retained profits. Dividends on these investments in equity instruments are recognised in profit or loss when the Group s right to receive the dividends is established in accordance with HKFRS 9, unless the dividends clearly represent a recovery of part of the cost of the investment. Dividends are included in the other income line item in profit or loss. 16 Rare Earth Magnesium Technology Group Holdings Limited Interim Report 2018

PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) 2.2 Impacts and changes in accounting policies of application on HKFRS 9 Financial Instruments (continued) 2.2.1 Key changes in accounting policies resulting from application of HKFRS 9 (continued) Impairment under ECL model The Group recognises a loss allowance for ECL on financial assets which are subject to impairment under HKFRS 9 (including trade and bills receivables, other receivables). The amount of ECL is updated at each reporting date to reflect changes in credit risk since initial recognition. Lifetime ECL represents the ECL that will result from all possible default events over the expected life of the relevant instrument. In contrast, 12-month ECL ( 12m ECL ) represents the portion of lifetime ECL that is expected to result from default events that are possible within 12 months after the reporting date. Assessment are done based on the Group s historical credit loss experience, adjusted for factors that are specific to the debtors, general economic conditions and an assessment of both the current conditions at the reporting date as well as the forecast of future conditions. The Group always recognises lifetime ECL for trade receivables. The ECL on these assets are assessed collectively using a provision matrix with appropriate groupings. For all other instruments, the Group measures the loss allowance equal to 12m ECL, unless when there has been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition, the Group recognises lifetime ECL. The assessment of whether lifetime ECL should be recognised is based on significant increases in the likelihood or risk of a default occurring since initial recognition. 2018 17

PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) 2.2 Impacts and changes in accounting policies of application on HKFRS 9 Financial Instruments (continued) 2.2.1 Key changes in accounting policies resulting from application of HKFRS 9 (continued) Significant increase in credit risk In assessing whether the credit risk has increased significantly since initial recognition, the Group compares the risk of a default occurring on the financial instrument as at the reporting date with the risk of a default occurring on the financial instrument as at the date of initial recognition. In making this assessment, the Group considers both quantitative and qualitative information that is reasonable and supportable, including historical experience and forward-looking information that is available without undue cost or effort. In particular, the following information is taken into account when assessing whether credit risk has increased significantly: an actual or expected significant deterioration in the financial instrument s external (if available) or internal credit rating; significant deterioration in external market indicators of credit risk, e.g. a significant increase in the credit spread, the credit default swap prices for the debtor; existing or forecast adverse changes in business, financial or economic conditions that are expected to cause a significant decrease in the debtor s ability to meet its debt obligations; an actual or expected significant deterioration in the operating results of the debtor; an actual or expected significant adverse change in the regulatory, economic, or technological environment of the debt or that results in a significant decrease in the debtor s ability to meet its debt obligations. Irrespective of the outcome of the above assessment, the Group presumes that the credit risk has increased significantly since initial recognition when contractual payments are more than 30 days past due, unless the Group has reasonable and supportable information that demonstrates otherwise. The Group considers that default has occurred when the instrument is more than 90 days past due unless the Group has reasonable and supportable information to demonstrate that a more lagging default criterion is more appropriate. 18 Rare Earth Magnesium Technology Group Holdings Limited Interim Report 2018

PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) 2.2 Impacts and changes in accounting policies of application on HKFRS 9 Financial Instruments (continued) 2.2.1 Key changes in accounting policies resulting from application of HKFRS 9 (continued) Measurement and recognition of ECL The measurement of ECL is a function of the probability of default, loss given default (i.e. the magnitude of the loss if there is a default) and the exposure at default. The assessment of the probability of default and loss given default is based on historical data adjusted by forwardlooking information. Generally, the ECL is estimated as the difference between all contractual cash flows that are due to the Group in accordance with the contract and all the cash flows that the Group expects to receive, discounted at the effective interest rate determined at initial recognition. Interest income is calculated based on the gross carrying amount of the financial asset unless the financial asset is credit impaired, in which case interest income is calculated based on amortised cost of the financial asset. The Group recognises an impairment gain or loss in profit or loss for all financial instruments by adjusting their carrying amount, with the exception of trade and bills receivables and other receivables where the corresponding adjustment is recognised through a loss allowance account. As at 1 January 2018, the Directors reviewed and assessed the Group s existing financial assets for impairment using reasonable and supportable information that is available without undue cost or effort in accordance with the requirements of HKFRS 9 and no material impact to the Group s financial statements is identified. 2018 19

The weighted average number of ordinary shares for the six months 2017 is adjusted as if the 3,269,919,980 shares issued for the acquisition of Fullocean Group under common control had been outstanding throughout the entire reporting period. Diluted earnings per share for the six months 2018 was the same as the basic earnings per share as the convertible bonds and share options outstanding had anti-dilutive effects on the basic earnings per share.
