<strong>Annual</strong> <strong>Report</strong> <strong>2012</strong><br />
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements<br />
For the year ended 31 December <strong>2012</strong><br />
3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES (Continued)<br />
Estimation uncertainty (Continued)<br />
Deferred tax liabilities<br />
Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for withholding corporate in<strong>com</strong>e taxes relating to the<br />
unremitted earnings of the Group’s subsidiaries established in Mainland China that are subject<br />
to withholding taxes. Significant management judgement is required to determine the amount<br />
of deferred tax liabilities, based upon the likely distribution level of such earnings from these<br />
subsidiaries in the foreseeable future. The carrying value of deferred tax liabilities arising from the<br />
withholding tax associated with the investments in subsidiaries in Mainland China for the year<br />
ended 31 December <strong>2012</strong> was RMB75,723,000 (31 December 2011: RMB69,046,000). Further<br />
details are contained in note 30 to the financial statements.<br />
Impairment of trade and bills receivables, and finance lease receivables<br />
The Group maintains an allowance for estimated loss arising from the inability of its customers to<br />
make the required payments. The Group makes its estimates based on the ageing of its receivable<br />
balances, customers’ creditworthiness, and historical write-off experience. If the financial condition<br />
of its customers deteriorates such that the actual impairment loss might be higher than expected,<br />
the Group would be required to revise the basis for making the allowance and its future results<br />
would be affected.<br />
Net realisable value of inventories<br />
Net realisable value of an inventory is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business,<br />
less estimated costs to be incurred to <strong>com</strong>pletion and disposal. These estimates are based on<br />
the current market condition and the historical experience of selling products of similar nature<br />
which could change significantly as a result of changes in customer taste or <strong>com</strong>petitor actions<br />
in response to severe consumer product industry cycles. Management reassesses these estimates<br />
at each reporting date.<br />
Provision for warranty costs<br />
70<br />
As explained in note 29, the Group offers 18 months’ warranty for the excavators and 12 months’<br />
warranty for the wheel loaders, road rollers, forklifts, during which free warranty service for<br />
the repair and maintenance of parts and <strong>com</strong>ponents under normal usage is provided to the<br />
customers. The provision for warranty costs is based on the historical experience and statistics. As<br />
at 31 December <strong>2012</strong>, the carrying amount of provision for warranty costs was RMB130,702,000<br />
(31 December 2011: RMB175,743,000).
