Under this classification system, light-duty engines have engine capacity of 3.8 liters or less; medium-duty engines have engine capacity of between 3.8 liters and 7.0 liters; and heavy-duty engines have engine capacity of more than 7.0 liters. In addition to engine capacity, this classification system takes into account the commercial application of the engines by original equipment manufacturers. For example, certain 4-cylinder engines that were previously classified as light-duty engines have been reclassified as medium-duty engines to the extent that they have application in the light- and medium-duty segments.

Cautionary Statements with Respect to Forward-Looking Statements

We wish to caution readers that the forward-looking statements contained in this Annual Report, which include all statements which, at the time made, address future results of operations, are based upon our interpretation of factors affecting our business and operations. We believe that the following important factors, among others, in some cases have affected, and in the future could affect our consolidated results and could cause our consolidated results for 2021 and beyond to differ materially from those described in any forward-looking statements made by us or on our behalf:

• |  | the ongoing COVID-19 outbreak and its effects on our business and results of operations, and any future outbreak of communicable diseases or viral epidemics and their potential effects on our business and results of operations;

• |  | political, economic and social conditions in China, including the Chinese government’s specific policies with respect to foreign investment, economic growth and the availability of credit, particularly to the extent such current or future conditions and policies affect the diesel and natural gas engine industries and markets in China, our diesel and natural gas engine customers, the demand, sales volume and sales prices for our diesel and natural gas engines and our levels of accounts receivables;

• |  | the threat arising from global and the Chinese government’s initiatives and preferential policies to develop energy saving and new energy vehicles, including hybrid, pure electric vehicles, fuel cell electric vehicles and other alternative energy-powered vehicles, which may lead to a decrease in demand for our engines, affecting our market share and profitability;

• |  | the effects of a weaker than expected recovery in the global economy subject to substantial downside risks including heightened policy uncertainty especially regarding trade policies, tariffs and government regulations, financial market disruptions amid global financial conditions and heightened geopolitical tensions globally, protracted recovery in the Euro Area and the economic effects from a withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the European Union on the overall global economy and our business, operating results and growth rates;

• |  | the effects of competition and excess capacity in the diesel engine market on the demand, sales volume and sales prices for our diesel engines;

• |  | the effects of previously reported material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting and our ability to implement and maintain effective internal control over financial reporting;

• |  | our ability to collect and control our levels of accounts receivables;

• |  | our dependence on Dongfeng Automobile Co., Ltd. and other major diesel truck manufacturers controlled by or affiliated with Dongfeng Automobile Co., Ltd.;

• |  | our ability to successfully manage and implement our joint ventures to manufacture and sell our engines and any new products;

• |  | our ability to finance our working capital and capital expenditure requirements, including obtaining any required external debt or other financing;

• |  | the effects of fluctuating interest rates in China on our borrowing costs or the availability of funding;

• |  | the effects of inflation and deflation, and increases in prices of energy, raw materials or components, on our financial condition and results of operations;

• |  | our ability to successfully implement the Reorganization Agreement, as amended by the Cooperation Agreement (both as defined in “Item 4. Information on the Company — History and Development);

• |  | our ability to control Yuchai and consolidate Yuchai’s financial results;

• |  | the effects of uncertainties in the Chinese legal system, which could limit the legal protection available to foreign investors, including with respect to the enforcement of foreign judgments in China;

• |  | the effects of changes to the international, regional and economic climate and market conditions in countries that may adversely impact on our operations as well as domestic and export sales performance; and

• |  | the impact of terrorism, terrorist events, airline strikes, hostilities between countries or increased risk of natural disasters or viral epidemics (including but not limited to the COVID-19 global outbreak) that may affect travel patterns and reduce the number of travelers and tourists to the HLGE group’s hospitality operations.

Our actual results, performance, or achievement may differ from those expressed in, or implied by, the forward-looking statements contained in this Annual Report. Accordingly, we can give no assurances that any of the events anticipated by these forward-looking statements will transpire or occur or, if any of the foregoing factors or other risks and uncertainties described elsewhere in this Annual Report were to occur, what impact they will have on these forward-looking statements, including the results of our operations or financial condition. In view of these uncertainties, you are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. We expressly disclaim any obligation to publicly revise any forward-looking statements contained in this Annual Report to reflect the occurrence of events after the date of this Annual Report.

ITEM 3. KEY INFORMATION

Selected Financial Data

The selected consolidated statement of financial position data as of December 31, 2019 and 2020, and the selected consolidated statement of profit or loss data and the selected consolidated statement of cash flows data set forth below for the years ended December 31, 2018, 2019 and 2020 are derived from our audited consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report. The selected consolidated statement of financial position data as of December 31, 2016, 2017 and 2018, and the selected consolidated statement of profit or loss data and the selected consolidated statement of cash flows data set forth below for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2017 are derived from our audited consolidated financial statements not included in this Annual Report. Our consolidated financial statements as of and for the years ended December 31, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019 and 2020 have been prepared in conformity with IFRS.

As previously disclosed in our Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 2018, our audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2018 reflected the first year of adoption of standards IFRS 15. The transition was applied using the full retrospective method from January 1, 2016, and accordingly our audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2017 were then restated.

The selected financial information as of and for the years ended December 31, 2018, 2019 and 2020 set forth below should be read in conjunction with, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to “Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects” and our audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto.

We currently own, through six of our wholly-owned subsidiaries, 76.4% of the outstanding shares of Yuchai. Our ownership interest in Yuchai is our main business asset. As a result, our financial condition and results of operations depend primarily upon Yuchai’s financial condition and results of operations, and the continued implementation of the Reorganization Agreement, as amended by the Cooperation Agreement.

Following an announcement in February 2005 by the Board of Directors of the Company of its approval of the implementation of our business expansion and diversification plan, we looked for new business opportunities to seek to reduce our financial dependence on Yuchai. As of February 28, 2021, we had a 48.9% interest in the outstanding ordinary shares of HLGE and a 2.02% interest in the outstanding ordinary shares of TCL.

Relating to our interest in HLGE:

On January 13, 2012, our wholly-owned subsidiary, Grace Star Services Limited (“Grace Star”) transferred 24,189,170 Series B redeemable convertible preference shares in the capital of HLGE (the “Trust Preference Shares”) to Amicorp Trustees (Singapore) Limited (the “Trustee”) pursuant to a trust deed entered into between HLGE and the Trustee (the “Trust”). On January 16, 2012, the Trust Preference Shares were mandatorily converted into 24,189,170 new ordinary shares in the capital of HLGE (the “Trust Shares”) resulting in our shareholding interest in HLGE decreasing from 49.4% to 48.1%. On April 4, 2012, as a result of the conversion of all the outstanding Series A redeemable convertible preference shares held by our wholly-owned subsidiaries, Venture Delta Limited (“Venture Delta” or “VDL”) and Grace Star, into new ordinary shares in the capital of HLGE, our shareholding interest in HLGE increased from 48.1% to 48.9%.

The Trust Shares are accounted for as treasury shares by HLGE as they are issued by HLGE and held by the Trust, which is considered as part of HLGE. As a result, based on the total outstanding ordinary shares of HLGE net of the Trust Shares, our shareholding interest in HLGE is stated as 50.2% for accounting purposes in the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020. However, these Trust Shares are not regarded as treasury shares under the Singapore Companies Act, Chapter 50, and the Trustee has the power, inter alia, to vote or abstain from voting in respect of the Trust Shares at any general meeting of HLGE in its absolute discretion and to waive its right to receive dividends in respect of the Trust Shares as it deems fit. Accordingly, based on the total outstanding ordinary shares of HLGE including the Trust Shares, our shareholding interest in HLGE is 48.9% as of December 31, 2020 and February 28, 2021. We consolidate the results of HLGE as a subsidiary. See Note 1.3 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements in Item 18.

Relating to our interest in TCL:

Since fiscal year 2010, we have gradually reduced our total shareholding in TCL. We classify our shareholding in TCL as quoted equity securities. On March 27, 2019, W Capital Markets Pte. Ltd., for and on behalf of Prime Trade Enterprises Limited (the “Offeror”), an investment holding company ultimately owned and controlled by certain members of the Thakral family, announced a voluntary conditional cash partial offer (the “Partial Offer”) to acquire approximately 20% of the total issued shares of TCL. Pursuant to the Partial Offer, VDL tendered an aggregate of 4,782,764 shares in TCL to the Offeror, comprising: (i) VDL’s acceptance of the Partial Offer of 28.9% of VDL’s shares in TCL (comprising 2,925,450 shares) (“Relevant Percentage Offer Shares”); and (ii) the shares tendered by VDL in excess to the Relevant Percentage Offer Shares and accepted by the Offeror under the Partial Offer (comprising 1,857,314 shares) (“Excess Shares”), (the Relevant Percentage Offer Shares and Excess Shares collectively referred to as “VDL Total Tendered Shares”). The cash consideration of S$0.50 per share under the Partial Offer amounts to a total consideration of S$2.39 million for the 4,782,764 VDL Total Tendered Shares. The transfer of the VDL Total Tendered Shares to the Offeror was completed on April 30, 2019. Thereafter, we have continued to reduce our shareholding in TCL, with our total shareholding interest in TCL being 2.33% as of December 31, 2020 and 2.02% as of February 28, 2021.

For further information on the Company’s investments in HLGE and TCL, see “Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects — Business Expansion and Diversification Plan.”

Dividends

Our principal source of cash flow has historically been our share of the dividends, if any, paid to us by Yuchai, as described under “Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects — Liquidity and Capital Resources.”

In May 1993, in order to finance further expansion, Yuchai sold shares to the Company and became a Sino-foreign joint stock company.

Chinese laws and regulations applicable to a Sino-foreign joint stock company require that before Yuchai distributes profits, it must (i) recover losses in previous years; (ii) satisfy all tax liabilities; and (iii) make contributions to the statutory reserve fund in an amount equal to 10% of net income for the year determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the PRC, or PRC GAAP. However, the allocation of statutory reserve fund will not be further required once the accumulated amount of such fund reaches 50% of the registered capital of Yuchai.

##### Table of Contents

Any determination by Yuchai to declare a dividend will be at the discretion of Yuchai’s shareholders and will be dependent upon Yuchai’s financial condition, results of operations, regulatory factors and other relevant factors. Yuchai’s Articles of Association provide that dividends shall be paid at least once a year out of after-tax profits (if any). To the extent Yuchai has foreign currency available, dividends declared by shareholders at a shareholders’ meeting to be paid to holders of Foreign Shares (currently only the Company) will be payable in foreign currency, and such shareholders will have priority thereto. If the foreign currency available is insufficient to pay such dividends, such dividends may be payable partly in Renminbi and partly in foreign currency. Dividends allocated to holders of Foreign Shares may be remitted in accordance with the relevant Chinese laws and regulations. In the event that the dividends are distributed in Renminbi, such dividends may be converted into foreign currency and remitted in accordance with the relevant Chinese laws, regulations and policies.

Any determination by the Company to declare a dividend will be at the discretion of our board of directors and will be dependent upon our financial condition, results of operations and other relevant factors. The following table sets forth a five-year summary of dividends we have paid to our shareholders as well as dividends paid to us by Yuchai:

Risk Factors

Risks relating to our shares and share ownership

Our controlling shareholder’s interests may differ from those of our other shareholders.

As of February 28, 2021, our controlling shareholder, Hong Leong Asia Ltd., or Hong Leong Asia, indirectly owns 18,270,965 or approximately 44.72%, of the outstanding shares of our Common Stock, as well as a special share that entitles it to elect a majority of our directors. Hong Leong Asia controls us through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Hong Leong (China) Limited, or Hong Leong China, and through HL Technology Systems Pte Ltd, or HL Technology, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Hong Leong China. HL Technology owns approximately 23.30% of the outstanding shares of our Common Stock and has, since August 2002, been the registered holder of the special share. Hong Leong Asia also owns, through another wholly-owned subsidiary, Well Summit Investments Limited, approximately 21.42% of the outstanding shares of our Common Stock as of February 28, 2021. Hong Leong Asia is a member of the Hong Leong Investment Holdings Pte. Ltd., or Hong Leong Investment group of companies. Prior to August 2002, we were controlled by Diesel Machinery (BVI) Limited, or Diesel Machinery, which, until its dissolution, was a holding company controlled by Hong Leong China and was the prior owner of the special share. Through HL Technology’s stock ownership and the rights accorded to the Special Share under our Bye-Laws and various agreements among shareholders, Hong Leong Asia is able to effectively approve and effect most corporate transactions. See “Item 7. Major Shareholders and Related Party Transactions — Related Party Transactions — Shareholders Agreement.” In addition, our shareholders do not have cumulative voting rights. There can be no assurance that Hong Leong Asia’s actions will be in the best interests of our other shareholders. See also “Item 7. Major Shareholders and Related Party Transactions — Major Shareholders.”

##### Table of Contents

We may experience a change of control as a result of sale or disposal of shares of our Common Stock by our controlling shareholders.

As described above, HL Technology, a subsidiary of Hong Leong Asia, owns 9,520,251 shares of our Common Stock, as well as the special share. If HL Technology reduces its shareholding to less than 7,290,000 shares of our Common Stock, our Bye-Laws provide that the special share held by HL Technology will cease to carry any rights, and Hong Leong Asia may as a result cease to have control over us. See “Item 7. Major Shareholders and Related Party Transactions — The Special Share.” If HL Technology sells or disposes of all of the shares of our Common Stock, we cannot determine what control arrangements will arise as a result of such sale or disposal (including changes in our management arising therefrom), or assess what effect those control arrangements may have, if any, on our financial condition, results of operations, business, prospects or share price.

In addition, certain of our financing arrangements have covenants requiring Hong Leong Asia to retain ownership of the special share and that we remain a principal subsidiary (as defined in such arrangements) of Hong Leong Asia. A breach of that covenant may require us to pay all outstanding amounts under those financing arrangements. There can be no assurance that we will be able to pay such amounts or obtain alternate financing.

The market price for our Common Stock may be volatile.

There continues to be volatility in the market price for our Common Stock. See “Item 9. The Offer and Listing.” The market price could fluctuate substantially in the future in response to a number of factors, including:

• |  | our operating results whether audited or unaudited;

• |  | the public’s reaction to our press releases and announcements and our filings with the SEC;

• |  | changes in financial estimates or recommendations by stock market analysts regarding us, our competitors or other companies that investors may deem comparable;

• |  | operating and stock price performance of our competitors or other companies that investors may deem comparable;

• |  | political, economic, and social conditions in China;

• |  | any negative perceptions about corporate governance or accounting practices at listed companies with significant operations in China;

• |  | changes in general economic conditions, arising from a slowdown in the global economy in 2020 and beyond, escalation or continuation of trade tensions between the United States and China (including implementation of the Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act, or the HFCAA), heightened policy uncertainty especially regarding trade, financial market disruptions amid global financing conditions, and heightened geopolitical tensions globally, the economic effects from the withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the European Union and communicable diseases such as SARS and COVID-19. See “Item 3. Key Information — Risk Factors — Risks relating to our company and our business — The diesel engine business in China is dependent in large part on the performance of the Chinese and the global economy. Adverse economic developments in China or in the global economy could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations, business or prospects;”

• |  | the threat arising from the Chinese government’s initiatives to develop energy saving and new energy vehicles, including hybrid, pure electric vehicles, fuel cell electric vehicles and other alternative energy-powered vehicles, which may lead to a decrease in demand for our engines, affecting our market share and profitability;

• |  | future sales of our Common Stock in the public market, or the perception that such sales could occur; or

• |  | the announcement by us or our competitors of a significant acquisition.

Any of the above factors either individually or together may result in market fluctuations which may materially adversely affect our stock price.

##### Table of Contents

We may be classified as a passive foreign investment company, which could result in adverse United States federal income tax consequences to US Holders.

A non-United States corporation is considered a passive foreign investment company, or PFIC, for United States federal income tax purposes for any taxable year if either (1) at least 75% of its gross income is passive income or (2) at least 50% of the total value of its assets (based on an average of the quarterly values of the assets during a taxable year) is attributable to assets that produce or are held for the production of passive income. For this purpose, the total value of our assets generally will be determined by reference to the market price of our shares. We believe that our shares should not be treated as stock of a PFIC for United States federal income tax purposes for the taxable year that ended on December 31, 2020. However, there is no guarantee that the United States Internal Revenue Service will not take a contrary position or that our shares will not be treated as stock of a PFIC for any future taxable year. Our PFIC status will be affected by, among other things, the market value of our shares and the assets and operations of our company and subsidiaries. If we were to be treated as a PFIC for any taxable year during which a US Holder (defined below) holds our shares, certain adverse United States federal income tax consequences could apply to the US Holder. See “Item 10. Additional Information — Taxation — United States Federal Income Taxation — PFIC Rules.”

If a United States person is treated as owning at least 10% of our shares, such holder may be subject to adverse U.S. federal income tax consequences.

If a United States person is treated as owning (directly, indirectly or constructively) at least 10% of the value or voting power of our Common Stock, such person may be treated as a “United States shareholder” with respect to each “controlled foreign corporation” (“CFC”) in our group (if any). If our group includes one or more U.S. subsidiaries, under recently-enacted rules, certain of our non-U.S. subsidiaries could be treated as CFCs regardless of whether we are or are not treated as a CFC (although there is currently a pending legislative proposal to significantly limit the application of these rules). A United States shareholder of a CFC may be required to annually report and include in its U.S. taxable income its pro rata share of “Subpart F income”, “global intangible low-taxed income” and investments in U.S. property by CFCs, whether or not we make any distributions. An individual that is a United States shareholder with respect to a CFC generally would not be allowed certain tax deductions or foreign tax credits that would be allowed to a United States shareholder that is a U.S. corporation. A failure to comply with these reporting obligations may subject you to significant monetary penalties and may prevent the statute of limitations with respect to your U.S. federal income tax return for the year for which reporting was due from starting. We cannot provide any assurances that we will assist investors in determining whether any of our non-U.S. subsidiaries are treated as a CFC or whether such investor is treated as a United States shareholder with respect to any of such CFCs or furnish to any United States shareholders information that may be necessary to comply with the aforementioned reporting and tax paying obligations. The United States Internal Revenue Service provided limited guidance on situations in which investors may rely on publicly available alternative information to comply with their reporting and tax paying obligations with respect to foreign-controlled CFCs. A United States investor should consult its own advisors regarding the potential application of these rules to its investment in the Common Stock.

Risks relating to our company and our business

Outbreaks of communicable diseases in various parts of China and other countries may materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We face risks related to health epidemics or outbreaks of communicable diseases. Since December 2019, an outbreak of a novel strain of coronavirus (COVID-19) spread rapidly in China and globally. In an effort to contain the spread of the virus, many countries, including China, the United States and across Europe, have imposed restrictions on travel and in-person gatherings, suspensions of public events, business closures, quarantines and lock-downs, resulting in a substantial reduction in economic activity. In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a pandemic.

Since the beginning of 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in temporary closure of many manufacturing facilities and factories across China and the world. In early 2020, in response to intensifying efforts to contain the spread of COVID-19, the Chinese government took a number of actions, which included, among others, extending the Chinese New Year holiday, quarantining and otherwise treating individuals in China who had contracted COVID-19, asking residents to remain at home and to avoid gathering in public. While such restrictive measures have been gradually lifted, given that our operations and those of our suppliers are predominantly based in China, we have been adversely affected by the foregoing measures, in particular in the 1st half of 2020. The market outlook for automobile industry sales remains volatile, national and global economic growth have slowed and the liquidity and financial conditions of some of our customers may have weakened. We have experienced and are continuing to experience increased supply lead times, supply disruptions and limited transport and shipping options from and to affected regions. Yuchai resumed operations in mid-February 2020 at a relatively small scale due to the shortage of engine components and materials as a result of continuing supply chain disruptions. Yuchai’s full year capacity utilization rate recovered to 67.2% for 2020. Even though Yuchai’s business is currently operational, its operational efficiency may still be adversely affected by the COVID-19 pandemic due to the ongoing outbreak of COVID-19 in countries around the world and the threat of a possible resurgence of the virus in China. We cannot assure you that the ongoing COVID-19 outbreak will not lead to additional factory closures, workforce shortages, supply chain disruptions, transportation disruptions or similar consequences in the future. Relaxation of restrictions on economic and social life may also lead to new cases which may lead to the re-imposition of restrictions. As a result, the duration of such business disruption and the resulting financial and operational impact cannot be reasonably estimated at this time.

The COVID-19 pandemic is ongoing and its dynamic nature makes it difficult to forecast the pandemic’s effects on the results of our operations for 2021 and in subsequent years. Although the COVID-19 pandemic is slowing with the rollout of COVID-19 vaccines around the world, the COVID-19 pandemic may not be contained in the near future, or at all, and a similar outbreak could occur again. If the COVID-19 pandemic, the slowdown in economic growth and the resulting disruption to our business were to extend over a prolonged period, it could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. Even if the economic impact of COVID-19 gradually recedes, the pandemic will have a lingering, long-term effect on business activities and consumption behavior. There is no assurance that we will be able to adjust our business operations to adapt to these changes and the increasingly complex environment in which we operate.

In general, our business had in the past and in the future could be adversely affected by the outbreak of other communicable diseases, such as severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS), the H1N1 and H5N1 influenza viruses, Ebola or Zika fever. Such communicable diseases could result in a widespread health crisis that could adversely affect general commercial activity and the economies and financial markets of many countries, as well as our business, financial condition or results of operations.

The diesel engine business in China is dependent in large part on the performance of the Chinese and the global economy. Adverse economic developments in China or in the global economy could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations, business or prospects.

Our operations and performance depend significantly on economic conditions in China and globally. During periods of economic expansion, the demand for trucks, construction machinery and other applications of diesel engines generally increases. Conversely, uncertainty about current global economic conditions or adverse changes in the economy could lead to a significant decline in the diesel engine industry which is generally adversely affected by a decline in demand.

The global outbreak and spread of COVID-19 have spurred uncertainty about the short-term prospects of the Chinese and the global economy and the degree of disruption of trade and supply chains across borders, while global manufacturing activity remains at a cyclical low. A steep productivity growth slowdown has been underway in emerging and developing economies amid the global spread of COVID-19 and the pandemic’s dynamic nature makes economic forecasts inherently unreliable.

Political and social unrest such as in Myanmar, as well as geopolitical tensions in Asia such as disputes in the South China Sea and Cross-Strait region threaten to disrupt economic recovery and growth in Asia, while heightened geopolitical tensions in the Middle East have increased the risk of an escalating conflict.

In addition, the performance of the Chinese economy affects, to a significant degree, our financial condition, results of operations, business and prospects. For example, the various measures taken by the Chinese government from time to time to regulate economic growth and control inflation have in prior periods, significantly weakened demand for trucks in China, and may have a similar effect in the future. Uncertainty and adverse changes in the Chinese economy could also increase costs associated with developing our products, increase the cost and decrease the availability of potential sources of financing, and increase our exposure to material losses from our investments, any of which could have a material adverse impact on our financial condition and operating results.

The pace of economic growth in China has decelerated in recent years. According to the National Bureau of Statistics, China’s gross domestic product (“GDP”) grew by 2.3% in 2020, compared with 6.6% in 2018 and 6.1% in 2019. Despite the gradual growth in China in response to the Chinese government’s planned reform of the economy and the gradual recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic domestically, downside risks remain. Aside from the ongoing COVID-19 global pandemic, the main short-term risk is the unwinding of high leverage in sectors with excess capacity, namely the manufacturing, industrial and real estate sectors. This may result in a sharper-than-expected slowdown in investment and hence in aggregate demand. There have been increasing concerns over China’s current debt levels which continue to trend upwards, resulting in fears over possible defaults by local banks and corporate entities. The business and prospects for the diesel engine industry, and thus the business and prospects of our company, may be adversely affected by changes in Chinese government policies.

##### Table of Contents

The diesel engine business in China is dependent in large part on Chinese government policy. As a result, our financial condition, results of operations, business and prospects could be adversely affected by Chinese government policies.

Our business is dependent on the state of the commercial vehicle market in China. According to CAAM, the sales of commercial vehicles have experienced fluctuations over the years primarily as a result of government incentives and subsidies introduced from time to time as well as the replacement cycle of commercial vehicles. In 2018, the diesel engine market was affected by factors such as the weakening influence of the Chinese government’s anti-overloading policy, a “Blue Sky Protection” campaign launched by the Chinese government, diminishing use of the trans-cities highway transportation system in favor of rail transport and the forthcoming implementation of National VI emission standards. In 2018, commercial vehicle sales (excluding gasoline-powered and electric-powered vehicles) were 3.1 million units, being flat compared with 2017. The truck market decreased by 1.3%, mainly attributed to a 22.3% decline in the medium-duty segment, which was partially offset by the growth of 2.7% in the heavy-duty segment. The bus market continued to weaken in 2018, resulting in a 5.3% decline in bus sales compared to 2017. In 2019, commercial vehicle sales (excluding gasoline-powered and electric-powered vehicles) were 2.9 million units, a 4.5% decline from 2018. The truck market decreased by 4.7%, mainly attributed to a 21.7% decline in the medium-duty segment and an 8.0% decline in the light-duty segment, which was partially offset by the growth of 2.1% in the heavy-duty segment. In the bus market, bus sales declined 2.6% compared to 2018. In 2020, commercial vehicle sales (excluding gasoline-powered and electric-powered vehicles) were 3.6 million units, a 23.8% increase from 2019. The truck market increased by 27.5%, attributed to growth in all segments, including a 38.2% increase in the heavy-duty segment, a 19.4% increase in the light-duty segment and a 14.2% increase in medium-duty segment. In the bus market, bus sales continued to weaken in 2020, resulting in a 7.7% decline compared to 2019. In past years, the Chinese government had introduced incentives to encourage purchases of electric-powered vehicles to curb air pollution in major cities, resulting in increased sales of electric-powered commercial vehicles, particularly in the light-duty segment. As a result of these initiatives, combustion bus engine sales volume in China and our share of the bus market had gradually decreased. The government’s incentives for the purchase of electric buses were substantially reduced in the last few years. For details, see “Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects — Overview.”

In recent years, the policies of the Chinese government have encouraged energy conservation and emissions reduction. On November 19, 2014, the State Council unveiled a new Energy Development Strategy Action Plan (2014 -2020) focusing on the development of renewables and limiting its primary energy consumption growth rate to 3.5% per year until 2020. Premier Li Keqiang in his 2017 annual policy report acknowledged the continued concerns over environmental pollution and stated that the Chinese government would increase the pace of progress to improve the environment, especially air quality. The measures to be adopted include tackling the sources of pollution in key industries, strengthening control over exhaust emitted by motor vehicles through the prohibition of use of higher emission vehicles, improving the quality of fuel and promoting the use of clean energy vehicles and the strict enforcement of environment laws and regulations. On March 11, 2016, China’s Environment Minister announced a set of major reforms of China’s environmental management and governance system to strengthen enforcement of related environmental protection laws. The reforms are being phased in on a pilot basis in 17 provinces and autonomous regions. As part of the reforms, in 2016, the State Council dispatched central environmental inspection teams made up of ministerial level officials to 15 provincial areas, including Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou, to monitor local conditions and encourage provincial governments to fulfill their environmental protection responsibilities, resulting in disciplinary actions against a number of government officials and the imposition of fines for environmental violations. In addition, in February 2017, China’s Environment Minister announced a month-long special inspection on air quality across Beijing and Tianjin municipalities and Hebei, Shanxi, Shandong and Henan provinces to check on the implementation of pollution control measures by both local governments and companies. On April 10, 2017, the Ministry of Environmental Protection issued its 13th Five Year Plan for National Environmental Protection Standards. The Plan calls for the amendment of existing environmental protection standards and the implementation of new environmental protection standards, including in relation to air quality and pollution emission control, environment detection and basic environment standards and environmental management standards. On November 15, 2018, the MEE announced that the Chinese government would implement a system that localizes environmental monitoring, supervision, and law enforcement activities below the provincial level under the supervision of environmental protection authorities at higher levels of government. China’s 14th Five Year Plan covering the years 2021 to 2025, which was formerly adopted at the National People’s Congress in Beijing in March 2021, seeks to reduce energy consumption (in terms of GDP per unit of energy) by 13.5% and carbon emissions by 18% by 2025, and also commits the government in broad terms to formulate an action plan for peaking carbon dioxide emissions before 2030 and to anchor efforts to achieve carbon neutrality by 2060. In the 14th Five Year Plan, China also seeks to boost the share of non-fossil sources in its energy mix to around 20% by 2025. Although a series of policy and reform measures have been formulated to create a sustainable environment for the rapid growth of the energy saving and environmental protection industry, there is no assurance that these measures will be successful. We cannot assure you that the Chinese government will not change its policies in the future. Such policy changes may de-emphasize the use of diesel engines and encourage increased use of cleaner energy alternatives, and any such changes will adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations, business or prospects. The government incentive schemes have, from time to time contributed to an increase in our engine sales in the past. However, since government incentive schemes may be changed from time to time, there can be no assurance that sales of our engines will continue to grow at the same compound annual growth rate for the last ten years as in the past or at all.

Our financial condition, results of operations, business and prospects may be adversely affected if we are unable to implement the Reorganization Agreement and the Cooperation Agreement.

We own 76.4% of the outstanding shares of Yuchai, and one of our primary sources of cash flow continues to be our share of the dividends, if any, paid by Yuchai and investment earnings thereon. As a result of the agreement reached with Yuchai and its related parties pursuant to the July 2003 Agreement, we discontinued legal and arbitration proceedings initiated by us in May 2003 relating to difficulties with respect to our investment in Yuchai. In furtherance of the terms of the July 2003 Agreement, we, Yuchai and Coomber Investments Limited, or Coomber, entered into the Reorganization Agreement in April 2005, as amended in December 2005 and November 2006, and agreed on a restructuring plan intended to be beneficial to our shareholders. In June 2007, we, along with Yuchai, Coomber and the GY Group, entered into the Cooperation Agreement. The Cooperation Agreement amends certain terms of the Reorganization Agreement and, as so amended, incorporates the terms of the Reorganization Agreement. Pursuant to the amendments to the Reorganization Agreement, the Company has agreed that the restructuring and spin-off of Yuchai will not be effected, and, recognizing the understandings that have been reached between the Company and the GY Group to jointly undertake efforts to expand the business of Yuchai, the Company will not seek to recover the anti-dilution fee of US$20 million that was due from Yuchai. For more information on these agreements see “Item 4. Information on the Company — History and Development.” No assurance can be given as to when the business expansion requirements relating to Yuchai as contemplated by the Reorganization Agreement and the Cooperation Agreement will be fully implemented, or that implementation of the Reorganization Agreement and the Cooperation Agreement will effectively resolve all of the difficulties faced by us with respect to our investment in Yuchai.

In addition, the Reorganization Agreement contemplates the continued implementation of our business expansion and diversification plan adopted in February 2005. One of the goals of this business expansion and diversification plan is to reduce our financial dependence on Yuchai. Subsequently, we acquired strategic stakes in HLGE and TCL (which we have since substantially divested). See “Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects — Business Expansion and Diversification Plan.” Nonetheless, no assurance can be given that we will be able to successfully expand and diversify our business. We may also not be able to continue to identify suitable acquisition opportunities, secure funding to consummate such acquisitions or successfully integrate such acquired businesses within our operations. Any failure to implement the terms of the Reorganization Agreement and Cooperation Agreement, including our continued expansion and diversification, could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations, business or prospects. Additionally, although the Cooperation Agreement amends certain provisions of the Reorganization Agreement and also acknowledges the understandings that have been reached between us and the GY Group to jointly undertake efforts to expand and diversify the business of Yuchai, no assurance can be given that we will be able to successfully implement those efforts or as to when the transactions contemplated therein will be consummated.

Tariffs on certain imports into the United States and China, and other potential changes to tariff and import/export regulations may have a negative effect on global economic conditions and our business, financial results and financial condition.

Our operations expose us to the risk that increased trade protectionism will adversely affect our business. In the United States, there is significant uncertainty about the future relationship between the United States and other exporting countries, including with respect to trade policies, treaties, government regulations and tariffs. Any increased trade barriers or restrictions on trade, especially trade with China, could depress economic activity and restrict our access to suppliers or customers and have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We have in the past and may in the future experience disagreements and difficulties with the Chinese shareholders in Yuchai.

Although we own 76.4% of the outstanding shares of Yuchai, and believe we have proper legal ownership of our investment and a controlling financial interest in Yuchai, in the event there is a dispute with Yuchai’s Chinese shareholders regarding our investment in Yuchai, we may have to rely on the Chinese legal system for remedies. We have in the past experienced problems from time to time in obtaining assistance and cooperation of Yuchai’s Chinese shareholders in the daily management and operation of Yuchai. We have in the past also experienced problems from time to time in obtaining the assistance and cooperation of the GY Group in dealing with various matters, including the implementation of corporate governance procedures, the payment of dividends, the holding of Yuchai board meetings and the resolution of employee-related matters. Examples of these problems are described elsewhere in this Annual Report. The July 2003 Agreement, the Reorganization Agreement and the Cooperation Agreement are intended to resolve certain issues relating to our share ownership in Yuchai and the continued corporate governance and other difficulties which we have had with respect to Yuchai. As part of the terms of the Reorganization Agreement, Yuchai agreed that it would seek the requisite shareholder approval prior to entering into any material transactions (including any agreements or arrangements with parties related to Yuchai or any of its shareholders) and that it would comply with its governance requirements. Yuchai also acknowledged and affirmed the Company’s continued rights as majority shareholder to direct the management and policies of Yuchai through Yuchai’s Board of Directors. Yuchai’s Articles of Association have been amended and such amended Articles of Association as approved by the Guangxi Department of Commerce on December 2, 2009, entitle the Company to elect nine of Yuchai’s thirteen directors, thereby reaffirming the Company’s right to effect all major decisions relating to Yuchai. While Yuchai has affirmed the Company’s continued rights as Yuchai’s majority shareholder and authority to direct the management and policies of Yuchai, no assurance can be given that disagreements and difficulties with Yuchai’s management and/or Yuchai’s Chinese shareholders will not recur, including implementation of the Reorganization Agreement and the Cooperation Agreement, corporate governance matters or related party transactions. Such disagreements and difficulties could ultimately have a material adverse impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

We have previously identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting and cannot assure you that material weaknesses will not be identified in the future. Our failure to implement and maintain effective internal control over financial reporting could result in material misstatements in our financial statements which could require us to restate financial statements in the future, or cause us not to be able to provide timely financial information, which may cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial information and have a negative effect on our stock price.

We reported material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2005 to 2011, and our management concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures and our internal control over financial reporting were not effective for that period. However, since the year ended December 31, 2012, we have not identified any material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting. Our management concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures and our internal control over financial reporting were effective for the financial years ended December 31, 2012 to 2020. See “Item 15. Controls and Procedures.” Our independent registered public accounting firm has expressed an unqualified opinion on the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting for the financial years ended December 31, 2012 to 2020.

We cannot assure you that material weaknesses or significant deficiencies in our internal control over financial reporting will not be identified in the future. Any failure to maintain or improve existing controls or implement new controls could result in material weaknesses or significant deficiencies and cause us to fail to meet our periodic reporting obligations, which in turn could cause our shares to be delisted or suspended from trading on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”). In addition, any such failure could result in material misstatements in our financial statements and require us to restate our financial statements and adversely affect the results of annual management evaluations regarding the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. Any of the foregoing could cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial information, leading to a decline in our share price.

We depend on and expect to continue to depend on the Dongfeng Group for a significant percentage of our sales.

Our sales are concentrated among the Dongfeng Group, which includes Dongfeng Automobile Co., Ltd., one of the largest automobile companies in China, and other major diesel truck manufacturers controlled by or affiliated with Dongfeng Automobile Co., Ltd. In 2020, sales to the Dongfeng Group accounted for 29.2% of our total revenue, of which sales to our two largest customers, Dongfeng Liuzhou Motor Co., Ltd. and Dongfeng Special Truck Company of Dongfeng Commercial Vehicle Xinjiang Co., Ltd., accounted for 12.9% and 4.2%, respectively. In 2020, our sales to our top five customers, including the Dongfeng Group, accounted for 46.6% of our total revenue. Although we consider our relationship with the Dongfeng Group and the other top four customers to be good, the loss of one or more of the companies within the Dongfeng Group as a customer or any one of our other top four customers whether singly or combined together would have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations, business or prospects.

As we are dependent on the purchases made by the Dongfeng Group from us, we have exposure to their liquidity arising from the high level of accounts receivable from them. We cannot assure you that the Dongfeng Group will be able to repay all the money they owe to us. In addition, the Dongfeng Group may not be able to continue purchasing the same volume of products from us which would reduce our overall sales volume.

The Dongfeng Group also competes with us in the diesel engine market in China. Although we believe that the companies within the Dongfeng Group generally make independent purchasing decisions based on end-user preferences, we cannot assure you that truck manufacturers affiliated with Dongfeng Automobile Co., Ltd. will not preferentially purchase diesel engines manufactured by companies within the Dongfeng Group over those manufactured by us.

Competition in China from other diesel engine manufacturers may adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations, business or prospects.

The diesel engine industry in China is highly competitive. We compete with many other China domestic companies. Some of our competitors have formed joint ventures with or have technology assistance relationships with foreign diesel engine manufacturers or foreign engine design consulting firms and use foreign technology that is more advanced than ours. We expect competition to intensify as a result of:

• |  | improvement in competitors’ products;

• |  | increased production capacity of competitors;

• |  | increased utilization of idle capacity by competitors;

• |  | price competition;

• |  | increased emphasis on new-energy vehicles; and

• |  | consolidations in the diesel engine industry.

In addition, we believe that there has been excess capacity in the diesel engine industry in the past, from time to time resulting from fluctuations in market demand. For example, market demand fluctuated between 2010 and 2017 as a result of, among other things, stimulus measures announced by the Chinese government to counter the effects of the 2008 global financial crisis, investment in capacity expansion by our competitors, the phasing out of Chinese government incentives for car purchases, the introduction of policies to restrict automotive growth in Beijing and other major cities, pre-buying of commercial vehicles prior to the implementation of new emission standards in China and incentives to encourage purchases of electric-powered vehicles. For more details, see “Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects — Overview.”

##### Table of Contents

Any excess capacity or decrease in demand in the diesel engine industry in the future could lead to a decrease in prices in the diesel engine market and as we and our competitors compete through lower prices, this could adversely impact our revenues, margins and overall profitability. Furthermore, if restrictions and tariffs on the import of motor vehicles and motor vehicle parts into China are reduced, foreign competition could increase significantly. An increase in competition as a result of these various factors operating singly or together may adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations, business or prospects as a result of lower gross margins, higher fixed costs or decreasing market share.

Our long-term business prospects will depend largely upon our ability to develop and introduce new or improved products in response to market demands at competitive prices. Our competitors in the diesel engine markets may be able to introduce new or improved engine models that are more favorably received by customers. Competition in the end-user markets, mainly the truck market, may also lead to technological improvements and advances that render our current products obsolete at an earlier than expected date, in which case we may have to depreciate or impair our production equipment more rapidly than planned. Failure to introduce or delays in the introduction of new or improved products at competitive prices could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations, business or prospects.

In addition, any consolidations or alliances in our industry may result in more competition for us from the resulting larger companies. Concentration within our industry, or other potential moves by our competitors, could improve their competitive position and market share and may exert further pricing pressure on us. Any consolidation or alliances in our industry involving our key suppliers or customers may adversely affect our existing relationships and arrangements with them. The loss of one or more of our key suppliers or customers due to consolidation in our industry or otherwise could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

China vehicle industry is experiencing changes under the Chinese government’s initiatives and preferential policies to develop energy saving and new energy vehicles. It may lead to decrease in demand for our engines affecting our market share and profitability.

The Chinese government has promoted the development of energy saving and new energy vehicles, or NEVs, for the Chinese vehicle industry through its policy actions in the past. NEVs are defined as vehicles powered by alternative sources of energy instead of fossil fuel-powered engines, such as the diesel and natural gas engines that we produce. NEVs include hybrid, pure electric vehicles, fuel cell electric vehicles and other alternative energy-powered vehicles.

The Chinese government’s policies have set specific industrialization goals for NEVs and plug-in hybrid vehicles, in terms of annual and cumulative production and sales. The Chinese government has issued a series of supporting subsidies and preferential policies to support the NEVs industry in a holistic manner. This subsidy scheme resulted in increased sales of electric-powered commercial vehicles in China in the past. The subsidies were most recently extended in January 2021 through the end of 2022, although the subsidy amount was reduced. Since December 2016, China has gradually reduced subsidies for NEVs as part of a general shift for China’s commercial vehicle market from being “policy-driven” to “market-driven”, while still emphasizing accelerated growth of the NEVs industry in the future. Industry expects total NEVs sales in the 14th Five Year Plan period to reach 10 million units. The development of NEVs has mainly affected the combustion bus engine sales volume in China and as a result, our share of the bus market has also gradually decreased over the years.

If the market for electric-powered vehicles continues to develop or develops more quickly than we expect, the additional competition resulting from the growing NEV development could reduce demand for our engines as Yuchai does not produce any full electric power system, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects. For information on Yuchai’s new energy products, see “Item 4. Information on the Company – Business Overview – Products and Product Development – New Energy Products”.

If we are not able to continually improve our existing engine products and develop new engine products or successfully enter into other markets, we may become less competitive, and our financial condition, results of operations, business and prospects will be adversely affected.

As the diesel engine industry in China is highly competitive and continues to develop, we will have to continually improve our existing engine products, develop new engine products and enter into new markets in order to remain competitive. As a result, our long-term business prospects will largely depend upon our ability to develop and introduce new or improved products at competitive prices and enter into new markets. Future products may utilize different technologies and may require knowledge of markets that we do not currently possess. Moreover, our competitors may be able to introduce new or improved engine models that are more favorably received by customers than our products or enter into new markets with an early-entrant advantage. Any failure by us to introduce, or any delays in the introduction of, new or improved products at competitive prices or entering into new markets could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations, business or prospects.

We have entered into several joint ventures in order to expand our product portfolio. There can be no assurance that our joint ventures will be successful or profitable. We have recognized impairment losses in the past related to our investments in the joint ventures and may do so again in the future. We review our investments in these joint ventures on an ongoing basis and may take such action as is deemed strategically appropriate including but not limited to divestment and shareholding changes. We have entered into the following joint ventures:

• |  | In April 2007, Yuchai entered into an Equity Joint Venture Agreement with Zhejiang Geely Holding Group Co., Ltd (“Geely”) and Zhejiang Yinlun Machinery Company Limited to form two joint venture companies for the development, production and sale of the 4Y20 diesel engine and parts for passenger vehicles. In May 2012, Yuchai exited from the joint venture in Zhejiang Province and increased its stake in the other joint venture in Jining, Shandong Province (“Jining Yuchai”) through a share swap agreement that gave Yuchai a 70% shareholding in Jining Yuchai, with Geely maintaining its 30% shareholding. In September 2014, Yuchai divested its entire 70% shareholding in Jining Yuchai but continued to consolidate the financial results of Jining Yuchai as a result of various contractual arrangements that allowed Yuchai to exercise effective control over Jining Yuchai. In November 2017, Yuchai acquired the entire equity interest in Jining Yuchai from an independent third party pursuant to the irrevocable option to acquire the shares in Jining Yuchai granted to Yuchai. Accordingly, Yuchai continues to consolidate the financial results of Jining Yuchai. The technology for the 4Y20 diesel engine is owned by Jining Yuchai. As of December 31, 2020, the accumulated impairment loss recorded on technology know-how relating to the 4Y20 engine platform was RMB 126.7 million (US$19.6 million). See “Item 5. Impairment of long-lived assets, including goodwill and intangible assets.”

• |  | In August 2009, Yuchai reached an agreement with Jirui United Heavy Industry Co., Ltd. (“Jirui United”), a joint venture of China International Marine Containers Group Ltd, Chery Automobile Co., Ltd. and Shenzhen City Jiusi Investment Management Co., Ltd. to establish Y & C Engine Co., Ltd. (“Y&C”) to produce heavy-duty vehicle engines with the displacement range from 10.5L to 14L. The key focus of Y&C is the production of YC6K diesel engines. Production commenced in December 2010. Y&C has maintained production volumes of 20,000 units and above since 2017. In 2020, its production and engine sales reached 32,000 due to strong demand in the heavy-duty truck and trailer markets. Y&C has upgraded the YC6K engine to be National VI emission standards compliant.

• |  | On February 19, 2016, we announced that Yuchai had entered into an agreement with MTU Friedrichshafen GmbH (“MTU”). a subsidiary of Rolls-Royce Power Systems, to set up a 50-50 joint venture, for the production, under license from MTU, of MTU diesel engines in China. The joint venture entity, MTU Yuchai Power Company Limited, was incorporated on January 18, 2017 and is based at Yuchai’s primary manufacturing facilities in Yulin. The joint venture produces MTU Series 4000 diesel engines compliant with Tier-3 emission standards and power outputs ranging from 1,400 to 3,490 kW, primarily for the Chinese off-highway market, in particular for power generation and oil and gas applications. On April 9, 2018, the joint venture announced the launch of its first MTU Series 4000 engines produced in China. In 2020, MTU Yuchai engine production increased to 200 units, and engine sales reached 250 units.

• |  | On August 28, 2018, we announced that a Yuchai subsidiary had entered into an agreement with Eberspaecher Exhaust Technology International GmbH (“Eberspaecher”) to set up a joint venture to develop, produce and market new exhaust emission control systems for trucks, buses, farming equipment and industrial machinery to meet the National VI emission standards. The joint venture entity, Eberspaecher Yuchai Exhaust Technology Co., Ltd., was incorporated on December 5, 2018, with Eberspaecher and the Yuchai subsidiary holding 51% and 49% interests, respectively. The joint venture commenced trial production in late 2019 and continued to ramp up production in 2020. Additional production lines were installed in 2020 in order to increase designed capacity in 2021.

We have developed natural gas engines to expand our products portfolio. There can be no assurance, however, that these activities will be profitable. Since 2013, Yuchai has produced a full portfolio of natural gas engines to complement its existing suite of diesel engines at its main manufacturing facility at Yulin City, Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region. The existing portfolio comprises natural gas engines for both on-road and off-road applications, all of which are compliant with China’s National V and National VI emission standards. In 2019, Yuchai introduced the model YCK11N engine for the heavy-duty truck market. The main applications of Yuchai’s natural gas engines are in the bus, truck and power generator sectors. See “Item 4. Information on the Company — Business Overview — Products and Product Development — Yuchai — Other products and services” for more information on Yuchai’s natural gas engines.

The development of a sustainable market for natural gas engines in China may be affected by many factors, some of which are beyond our control, including:

• |  | the emergence of newer, more competitive technologies and products;

• |  | the prices and availability of oil and natural gas in the future;

• |  | the successful development of natural gas refueling infrastructure;

15

##### Table of Contents

• |  | the structure and implementation of government policies, including the availability of government incentives;

• |  | consumer perceptions of the safety of natural gas engines; and

• |  | consumer reluctance to adopt new products.

There can be no assurance that a sustainable market for natural gas vehicles will develop in China or in other countries around the world or that our initiative to increase our market share in the natural gas engine market will be successful or profitable. For example, in 2016, our sales of natural gas engines continued to decline primarily due to increased demand for electric-powered vehicles and a reduction in oil prices, while the demand for gas engine trucks in 2017 saw a recovery. Although the demand for natural gas engines slowed down in 2018 due to a reduction of government incentives, demand for gas engine trucks in the fourth quarter of 2018 increased due to restrictions imposed on the operation of diesel engine trucks in certain harbors and terminals in the northern region of China. In 2019, the demand for gas engines remained strong due to the implementation of the National VI emission regulations for on-road gas engine vehicles, effective on July 1, 2019. The new regulations triggered additional demand in the gas engine heavy-duty truck market, benefiting from the lower fuel and operating costs of gas engines compared to the National VI diesel engines. In 2020, the demand for gas engine driven vehicles decreased due to an increase in natural gas prices, which increased the total operation costs for trucks and buses.

The technological requirements to comply with National VI standards will require engine manufacturers to deploy significant resources on improving major engine components, systems and after treatment systems, in a relatively short period of time, which could lead to increased costs. Engine suppliers in the industry may face difficulty in implementing the emission upgrades in compliance with National VI emission standards for on-road vehicles.

Yuchai has committed substantial resources to continually improve the technology of its products and maintain the competitiveness of its products. For more information on Yuchai’s research and development efforts, see “Item 4. Information on the Company — Business Overview — Research and Development.”

Our research and development efforts may not be successful and our new products may not address the needs of our current and prospective customers or achieve market acceptance. Moreover, competitors may be in the process of developing technology that could be developed more quickly or eventually become more profitable than our products. If our investments in research and development do not yield new technologies and products that we can successfully market and sell, our business, financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected.

Our financial condition, results of operations, business or prospects may be adversely affected to the extent we are unable to continue our sales growth.

In 2018, Yuchai recorded engine sales of 375,731 units. In 2019, engine sales were 376,148 units, a 0.1% increase compared with 2018. In 2020, engine sales were 430,320 units, a 14.4% increase compared with 2019. We cannot assure you that we will be able to maintain or increase engine sales in the future. For example, we may not be able to maintain or increase our engine sales or revenue commensurate with our increased levels of production capacity. Moreover, our future growth is dependent in large part on factors beyond our control, such as the continued growth and stability of the global and Chinese economies. See “Item 3. Key Information — Risk Factors — Risks relating to our company and our business — The diesel engine business in China is dependent in large part on the performance of the Chinese and the global economy. Adverse economic developments in China or in the global economy could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations, business or prospects.” In addition, we cannot assure you that we will be able to properly manage any future growth, including:

• |  | obtaining the necessary supplies, including the availability of raw materials;

• |  | hiring and training skilled production workers and management personnel;

• |  | manufacturing and delivering products for increased orders in a timely manner;

• |  | maintaining quality standards and prices;

• |  | controlling production costs; and

• |  | obtaining adequate funding on commercially reasonable terms for future growth.

Furthermore, we have acquired in the past, and may acquire in the future, equity interests in engine parts suppliers and logistics and marketing companies. If we are unable to effectively manage or assimilate these acquisitions, our financial condition, results of operations, business or prospects could be adversely affected.

We may be unable to obtain sufficient financing to fund our capital requirements which could limit our growth potential.

We believe that our cash from operations, together with any necessary borrowings, will provide sufficient financial resources to meet our projected capital and other expenditure requirements. If we have underestimated our capital requirements or overestimated our future cash flows, additional financing may be required. Financing may not be available to us on acceptable terms or at all. Our ability to obtain external financing is subject to various uncertainties, including the results of our operations, financial condition and cash flow, economic, political and other conditions in China, the Chinese government’s policies relating to foreign currency borrowings and the condition of the Chinese and international capital markets. The Chinese government’s March 2019 Work Report recommended that to alleviate difficulties in obtaining financing and reduce borrowing cost of businesses, China’s central bank should make use of quantitative and pricing measures such as expanding credit delivery and lowering loan costs. Accordingly, the PBOC lowered bank reserve requirement ratios in 2019, and further lowered its benchmark one-year Loan Prime Rate to 3.85% in 2020. A shortage of liquidity in the banking system or any other factor that results in our inability to access capital may adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

We could be exposed to the impact of interest rates and foreign currency movements with respect to our future borrowings and business.

We may use borrowings from time to time to supplement our working capital requirements and to finance our business expansion and diversification plan. A portion of our borrowings may be structured on a floating rate basis and denominated in US dollar, Singapore dollar or Renminbi. In 2013, Yuchai issued the first tranche of RMB-denominated three year unsecured medium-term notes (“MTNs”) in China amounting to RMB 1.0 billion upon the receipt of approval from NAFMII, at an annual interest rate of 4.69%. The MTNs matured on May 30, 2016. In April and September 2015, Yuchai issued two tranches of ultra-short-term bonds (“USTB”) amounting to a total of RMB 800 million at interest rates of 4.9% and 3.9% which matured on May 9, 2015 and June 13, 2016, respectively. See “Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects — Liquidity and Capital Resources.”

In 2015, there were significant reductions in interest rates for bank loans in China. For example, the interest rate varied between 5.6% and 4.35% in 2015 which affected our cost of funding and bill discounting, and the results of our operations. In addition, following a period of unusually low interest rates, the U.S. Federal Reserve raised its benchmark interest rate in 2016 and 2017. In 2020, the U.S. Federal Reserve set the new benchmark on the interest rate range between 0% and 0.25% in response to the global economic slowdown triggered by the COVID-19 pandemic, and has also since announced that it intends to keep to the target range through the end of 2023. Any fluctuations in interest rates, or fluctuations in exchange rates between the Renminbi or Singapore dollar and US dollar, may increase our funding costs or the availability of funding. This could affect our financial condition, results of operations, business or prospects.

Our financial condition, results of operations, business or prospects could also be adversely affected by a devaluation of the Renminbi. The value of the Renminbi is subject to changes in Chinese government policies and to international economic and political developments.

From December 31, 2016 to December 31, 2020, the Renminbi appreciated about 6.0% against the US dollar. From December 31, 2016 to December 31, 2020, the Singapore dollar appreciated about 8.6% against the US dollar. Since we may not be able to hedge effectively against Renminbi or Singapore dollar fluctuations, future movements in the exchange rate of the Renminbi, the Singapore dollar and other currencies could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

If China’s inflation increases or the prices of energy, raw materials or components increase, we may not be able to pass the resulting increased costs on to our customers and this may adversely affect our profitability or cause us to suffer operating losses.

Economic growth in China had, in the past, been accompanied by periods of high inflation. The Chinese government had implemented various policies from time to time to control inflation. For example, the Chinese government has periodically introduced measures in certain sectors to avoid overheating of the economy, including tighter bank lending policies, increases in bank interest rates, and measures to curb inflation, which has resulted in a decrease in the rate of inflation. According to the National Bureau of Statistics, the annual inflation rate for 2017, 2018, 2019 and 2020 was 1.6%, 2.1%, 2.9% and 2.5%, respectively, below the 3.0% target set by the Chinese government. An increase in inflation could cause our costs for parts and components, labor costs, raw materials and other operating costs to increase, which would adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations. We have also been adversely impacted by increases in raw material costs. For example, our gross margin decreased to 15.5% for the year ended December 31, 2020, as compared with 17.2% for the year ended December 31, 2019 due in part to higher raw material costs. The implementation of National VI and Tier-4 emission standards may also reduce the supply or increase the price of components for our engines which are compliant with National IV, National V, Tier-2 and/or Tier-3 emission standards, which could in turn increase our production costs or reduce our inventory of engines available for export.

We may be adversely affected by environmental regulations.

We are subject to Chinese national and local environmental protection regulations which currently impose environmental taxes for the discharge of waste substances, require the payment of fines for pollution, and provide for the closure by the Chinese government of any facility that fails to comply with orders requiring us to cease or improve upon certain activities causing environmental damage. Due to the nature of our business, we produce certain amounts of waste water, waste gas, and solid waste materials during the course of our production.

We believe our environmental protection facilities and systems are adequate for us to comply with the existing national, provincial and local environmental protection regulations. However, Chinese national, provincial or local authorities may impose more stringent or additional regulations which would require additional expenditure on environmental matters or changes in our processes or systems. For example, in recent years, environmental protection has been emphasized to a greater extent by the Chinese government, leading to the revision of the Environment Protection Law in 2014 and the adoption of the ecological civilization concept in China’s Constitution in 2017.

On June 28, 2018, the MEE released the final rule for the National VI emission standards for heavy-duty vehicles according to which the National VI standards are being implemented in two phases. National VI(a) has taken effect on July 1, 2019 for new gas-powered heavy-duty vehicles (“HDVs”), and has taken effect on July 1, 2020 for new urban HDVs, and will take effect on July 1, 2021 for the remaining new HDVs. National VI(b) has taken effect on January 1, 2021 for new gas-powered HDVs, and on July 1, 2023 for all new HDVs. When fully implemented, National VI will require all new HDVs sold in China to meet the standards. Several provincial-level regions including Beijing, Shanghai, Tianjin, Hebei Province and Guangdong Province started implementing the National VI vehicle emission standards in mid-2019 ahead of schedule. Yuchai produces diesel engines compliant with National IV and National V emission standards and natural gas engines compliant with National V emission standards, and also has the ability to produce diesel and natural gas engines compliant with National VI emission standards and develop alternative fuels and environmentally friendly hybrid engines with improved fuel efficiency.

Yuchai also produces diesel engines compliant with both Tier-2 and Tier-3 emission standards for use in off-road machinery. Given the Tier-3 emission standards were implemented nationwide in late 2016, Yuchai has reduced production volumes of the Tier-2 engines, except for export sales outside of China. In December 2020, the MEE announced the approval of Tier-4 emission standards and any off-road machinery (below 560 kW) that does not comply with Tier-4 emission standards is prohibited from production, import and selling in China from December 1, 2022.

While Yuchai produces diesel engines compliant with the current emission standards in both the off-road and on-road markets, Yuchai may be required to increase its research and development expenditures in order to meet the increasingly stringent emission standards, and there can be no assurance that Yuchai will be able to comply with applicable emission standards or that the introduction of these and other environmental regulations will not result in a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, if environmental regulations, including electric vehicle energy consumption standards and vehicle emission standards, become significantly stricter in other markets where our engines are sold, it could adversely affect demand for our engines, which in turn could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, and prospects.

New National VI and Tier-4 emission standards for diesel engines manufactured in China may adversely affect our operations.

The manufacture of our engines is heavily regulated by governmental authorities, including the MEE. National VI and Tier-4 emission standards have adopted the latest internal combustion engine manufacturing technologies in China that Yuchai had to develop and build up anew. These new emission standards impose a whole series of stringent emission tests, not only in the manufacturing processes but also ongoing emission tests on the road after engine installation by a remote emission monitoring system or other monitoring systems.

In addition to regulatory requirements, many of our engines involve technically complex manufacturing processes and require a supply of highly specialized engine component parts. For some products and component parts, we may also rely on a single source of supply. The combination of these factors means that supply is never guaranteed. Like some of our competitors, we may face manufacturing issues from time to time. If we or our third party suppliers fail to comply fully with regulations, then there could be a product recall or other shutdown or disruption of our production activities. There can be no assurance that we will not experience supply interruptions for our products in the future. The implementation of National VI and Tier-4 emission standards may also reduce the supply or increase the price of components for our engines compliant with National IV, National V, Tier-2 and/or Tier-3 emission standards, which could in turn increase our production costs or reduce our inventory of engines available for export.

Trade policy disputes between the United States and China may adversely affect our business.

Since July 2018, the United States has imposed tariffs on $250 billion worth of Chinese products and has threatened further tariffs. In response, China imposed tariffs on certain U.S. goods, and threatened qualitative measures that would affect U.S. businesses operating in China. The United States announced additional tariffs in May and August 2019. On December 13, 2019 the U.S. and China reached a limited agreement, which avoided the imposition of additional tariffs and on January 15, 2020, the U.S. and China signed a “phase one” trade deal pursuant to which, among other things, the U.S. agreed to modify existing tariffs. However, there can be no assurances that the U.S. or China will not increase tariffs or impose additional tariffs in the future.

Political tensions between the U.S. and China have also escalated in recent times. Rising political tensions could reduce levels of trades, investments, technological exchanges and other economic activities between the two major economies, which would have a material adverse effect on global economic conditions and the stability of global financial markets. Any of these factors could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations. There have been recent media reports on deliberations within the U.S. government regarding potentially limiting or restricting China-based companies from accessing U.S. capital markets. If any such deliberations were to materialize, the resulting legislation may have a material and adverse impact on the stock performance of China-based issuers listed in the United States. See also “Item 3. Key Information — Risk Factors — Risks relating to our company and our business — Our shares may be delisted under the Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act if the PCAOB is unable to inspect auditors who are located in China. The delisting of our shares, or the threat of their being delisted, may materially and adversely affect the value of your investment. Additionally, the inability of the PCAOB to conduct inspections deprives our investors with the benefits of such inspections.”

This evolving policy dispute between China and the United States could have significant impact on the Chinese economy, and no assurance can be given that we will not be adversely affected by any governmental actions taken by either China or the United States. It is not possible to predict with any certainty the outcome of this dispute or whether it will involve other agencies or entities brought in to resolve the policy differences of the two countries. Furthermore, any political or trade controversies, or political events or crises, between the United States and China or proxies thereof, whether or not directly related to our business, could reduce the price of our ordinary shares since we are a U.S. listed company with significant operations in China.

Our insurance coverage may not be adequate to cover risks related to our production and other operations.

The amount of our insurance coverage for our buildings and equipment is at cost which could be less than replacement value. The amount of our insurance coverage for our inventory is at book value which could be less than replacement value. In accordance with what we believe is customary practice among industrial equipment manufacturers in China, we insure high risk assets, such as certain property and equipment with high value. The amount of our insurance coverage of our facilities and inventory is in line with Chinese market practice but may expose us to risks in the event of a major accident where our insurance recovery may be inadequate. We also carry public liability insurance to cover claims in respect of bodily injury and property damage to any third party arising from accidents on our property or relating to our operations. We do not carry business interruption insurance as such coverage is not customary in China. From time to time, we will review the adequacy of our insurance coverage. Nevertheless, losses incurred or payments required to be made by us which are not fully insured could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition.

Increases in labor costs and enforcement of stricter labor laws and regulations in the PRC may adversely affect our business and our profitability.

China’s overall economy and the average wage in China have increased in recent years and are expected to grow. The average wage level for our employees has also increased in recent years. We expect that our labor costs, including wages and employee benefits, will increase. Unless we are able to pass on these increased labor costs to those who pay for our services, our profitability and results of operations may be materially and adversely affected.

In addition, we have been subject to stricter regulatory requirements in terms of entering into labor contracts with our employees, limitation with respect to utilization of labor dispatching, labor protection and labor condition and paying various statutory employee benefits, including pensions, housing fund, medical insurance, work-related injury insurance, unemployment insurance and maternity insurance to designated government agencies for the benefit of our employees. Pursuant to the PRC Labor Contract Law and its implementation rules, employers are subject to stricter requirements in terms of signing labor contracts, minimum wages, paying remuneration, determining the term of employee’s probation and unilaterally terminating labor contracts. In the event that we decide to terminate some of our employees or otherwise change our employment or labor practices, the PRC Labor Contract Law and its implementation rules may limit our ability to effect those changes in a desirable or cost-effective manner, which could adversely affect our business and results of operations.

We are dependent on information technology and our systems and infrastructure face certain risks, including cybersecurity risks and data leakage risks.

We are dependent on information technology systems and infrastructure. We cannot be certain that advances in criminal capabilities (including cyber-attacks or cyber intrusions over the internet, malware, computer viruses and the like), discovery of new vulnerabilities or attempts to exploit existing vulnerabilities in our or third-party systems, other data thefts, physical system or network break-ins or inappropriate access, or other developments will not compromise or breach the technology protecting our systems or the systems and networks of third parties that access and store sensitive information about us or our customers or suppliers. Cyber threats, such as phishing and trojans, could intrude into our or a third party’s network to steal data or to seek sensitive information about us or our customers or suppliers. Any intrusion into our or such third party’s network (to the extent attributed to us or perceived to be attributed to us) that results in any breach of security could cause damage to our reputation and adversely impact our business and financial results. A significant failure in security measures could have a material adverse effect on our business, reputation, results of operations and financial condition. Although we seek to implement measures to protect sensitive and confidential client data, there can be no assurance that we would be able to prevent breaches of security.

As an exempted company incorporated under Bermuda law, our operations may be subject to economic substance requirements.

On December 5, 2017, following an assessment of the tax policies of various countries by the Code of Conduct Group for Business Taxation of the European Union (the “COCG”), the Council of the EU approved and published Council conclusions containing a list of non-cooperative jurisdictions for tax purposes (the “Conclusions”). Although not considered so-called “non-cooperative jurisdictions”, certain countries, including Bermuda, were listed as having “tax regimes that facilitate offshore structures which attract profits without real economic activity.” In connection with the Conclusions, and to avoid being placed on the list of “non-cooperative jurisdictions”, the government of Bermuda, among others, committed to addressing COCG proposals relating to economic substance for entities doing business in or through their respective jurisdictions and to pass legislation to implement any appropriate changes by the end of 2018.

The Economic Substance Act 2018 and the Economic Substance Regulations 2018 of Bermuda (the “Economic Substance Act” and the “Economic Substance Regulations”, respectively) became operative on December 31, 2018. The Economic Substance Act applies to every registered entity in Bermuda that engages in a relevant activity and requires that every such entity shall maintain a substantial economic presence in Bermuda. Relevant activities for the purposes of the Economic Substance Act include, among other things, conducting business as a holding entity, which may include a pure equity holding entity. The Economic Substance Regulations provide that minimum economic substance requirements shall apply in relation to an entity if the entity is a pure equity holding entity, which is an entity which as its primary function acquires and holds shares or an equitable interest in other entities, performs no commercial activity and which (a) holds the majority of the voting rights in another entity; (b) is a shareholder, member or partner in another entity and has the right to appoint or remove a majority of the board of directors, managers or equivalent of that other entity; or (c) is a shareholder, member or partner in another entity and controls alone, under an agreement with others, a majority of the voting rights in that other entity. The minimum economic substance requirements include (a) compliance with applicable corporate governance requirements set forth in the Bermuda Companies Act 1981 including keeping records of account, books and papers and financial statements; and (b) submission of an annual economic substance declaration form. However, the economic substance requirements do not apply to an entity which is a tax resident of a jurisdiction outside of Bermuda, provided that the jurisdiction is not in the EU list of non-cooperative jurisdictions for tax purposes. If we fail to comply with our obligations under the Bermuda Economic Substance Act or any similar law applicable to us in any other jurisdictions, we could be subject to financial penalties and spontaneous disclosure of information to foreign tax officials in related jurisdictions and may be struck from the register of companies in Bermuda or such other jurisdiction. Any of these actions could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We engaged EY Corporate Advisors Pte Ltd (“EY CA”) to advise us on the implications of economic substance laws in Bermuda and other major offshore jurisdictions of the Cayman Islands and the British Virgin Islands for our Company. Upon consideration of EY CA’s advice with respect to the Bermuda economic substance legislation, and having considered the Company’s current presence and substance in Singapore through our Singapore Branch office, our Board of Directors approved a proposal in February 2020 for the Company to establish its tax residency in Singapore. In November 2020, the Inland Revenue Authority of Singapore, or “IRAS”, responded with a written confirmation that the Company is a tax resident in Singapore for Singapore income tax purposes for calendar year 2020. The tax residency status of a company is to be determined on a yearly basis. Going forward, we will be considered a Singapore tax resident company for a particular Year of Assessment if the control and management of our business is exercised in Singapore for the preceding calendar year. Given that the Singapore tax residency status is determined by the IRAS on a yearly basis, we are currently unable to confirm that the Company will be considered by the IRAS to be a Singapore tax resident. If the Company is not a tax resident of a jurisdiction outside of Bermuda (other than a jurisdiction which is on the EU list of non-cooperative jurisdictions for tax purposes), we may be subject to Bermuda’s Economic Substance Act, Economic Substance Regulations and/or any new economic substance regulations adopted in Bermuda. We may be subject to penalties if the Company or any of its subsidiaries fail to comply with the applicable economic substance laws.

Risks relating to China

Changes in China’s political or social conditions or government policies could have a material and adverse effect on our business and results of operations.

Substantially all of our assets are located in China, and substantially all of our revenue is derived from our operations in China. Accordingly, our results of operations, financial condition and prospects are influenced by economic, political and legal developments in China. China’s economy differs from many other countries in certain respects, including with respect to the amount of government involvement, level of development, growth rate, control of foreign exchange and allocation of resources. The PRC government exercises significant control over China’s economic growth through strategically allocating resources, controlling the payment of foreign currency-denominated obligations, setting monetary policy and providing preferential treatment to particular industries or companies.

##### Table of Contents

While the PRC economy has experienced significant growth over the past decades, that growth has been uneven across different regions and between economic sectors and may not continue, as evidenced by the slowing of the growth of the Chinese economy since 2012. Any adverse changes in economic conditions in China, in the policies of the Chinese government or in the laws and regulations in China could have a material adverse effect on the overall economic growth of China. Such developments could adversely affect our business and operating results, leading to reduction in demand for our products and adversely affect our competitive position.

Uncertainties in the interpretation and enforcement of PRC laws and regulations could limit the legal protections available to you and us.

The PRC legal system is a civil law system based on written statutes. Unlike the common law system, prior court decisions may be cited for reference but have limited precedential value. From time to time, we may have to resort to administrative and court proceedings to enforce our legal rights. However, since PRC administrative and court authorities have significant discretion in interpreting and implementing statutory and contractual terms, it may be more difficult to evaluate the outcome of administrative and court proceedings and the level of protection we enjoy than in more developed legal systems. Furthermore, the PRC legal system is based in part on government policies and internal rules, some of which are not published on a timely basis or at all, and which may have a retroactive effect. As a result, we may not be aware of our violation of any of these policies and rules until sometime after the violation. Such uncertainties, including uncertainty over the scope and effect of our contractual, property (including intellectual property) and procedural rights, and any failure to respond to changes in the regulatory environment in China could materially and adversely affect our business and impede our ability to continue our operations.

Our investment in Yuchai or elsewhere in China, are subject to PRC regulations. The PRC Foreign Investment Law, or the FIL, adopted on March 15, 2019 is the legal foundation governing us, a foreign investment enterprise, or the FIE. The FIL grants national treatment to foreign-invested entities, except for those foreign-invested entities that operate in industries specified as either “restricted” or “prohibited” from foreign investment in a “negative list”. The FIL provides that foreign-invested entities operating in “restricted” or “prohibited” industries will require market entry clearance and other approvals from relevant PRC government authorities. There are uncertainties with respect to interpretation and implementation of the FIL and relevant regulations, which may impact our current corporate governance practice and increase our compliance costs. For instance, we may be required to adjust the organizational form and corporate governance for certain of our PRC foreign-invested subsidiaries as required by any further implementing rules of the FIL. In addition, the FIL imposes information reporting requirements on foreign investors and foreign invested enterprises.

On December 19, 2020, with the approval of the State Council, the National Development and Reform Commission, or the NDRC, and the Ministry of Commerce, or the MOFCOM, issued the Measures for the Security Review of Foreign Investments, or the 2021 Security Review Measures, which took effect on January 18, 2021, with an intent to regulate foreign investments which raise “national defense and security” or “national security” concerns. Under the 2021 Security Review Measures, investments in military, national defense-related areas or in locations in proximity to military facilities, or investments that would result in acquiring the actual control of assets in certain key sectors, such as critical agricultural products, energy and resources, equipment manufacturing, infrastructure, transport, cultural products and services, information technology, Internet products and services, financial services and technology sectors, are required to obtain approval from designated governmental authorities in advance. In the future, if we grow our business by acquiring complementary businesses that are within the scope of the 2021 Security Review Measures, complying with the requirements of the above-mentioned regulations and other relevant rules to complete such transactions could be time consuming, and any required approval processes, including obtaining approval from the applicable authorities may delay or inhibit our ability to complete such transactions. It is unclear whether our business operates in an industry that raises “national defense and security” or “national security” concerns. If future interpretations or guidances issued by the NDRC and/or MOFCOM determine that our business is in an industry subject to the security review, our business operations and activities in China may be adversely affected.

We may not freely convert Renminbi into foreign currency, which could limit our ability to obtain sufficient foreign currency to satisfy our foreign currency requirements or to pay dividends to shareholders.

Substantially all of our revenues and operating expenses are generated by our Chinese operating subsidiary, Yuchai, and are denominated in Renminbi, while a portion of our indebtedness is, or in the future may be, denominated in US dollar and other foreign currencies. The Renminbi is currently freely convertible under the “current account,” which include dividend distributions, interest payments, trade and service-related foreign exchange transactions, but not under the “capital account” which include, among other things, foreign direct investment, overseas borrowings by Chinese entities and proceeds of overseas public offering by Chinese entities. Some of the conversions between Renminbi and foreign currency under the capital account are subject to the prior approval of the State Administration for Foreign Exchange, or SAFE.

21

##### Table of Contents

Yuchai, as a foreign invested enterprise, may purchase foreign currency without the approval of SAFE for settlement of “current account transactions”, including payment of dividends, by providing commercial documents evidencing these transactions. Our Chinese operating subsidiary may also retain foreign exchange in its current account to satisfy foreign currency liabilities or to pay dividends. However, the relevant Chinese government authorities may limit or eliminate our Chinese operating subsidiary’s ability to purchase and retain foreign currencies in the future. Our Chinese operating subsidiary, therefore, may not be able to obtain sufficient foreign currency to satisfy its foreign currency requirements to pay dividends to us for our use in making any future dividend payments or to satisfy other foreign currency payment requirements. Foreign currency transactions under the capital account and foreign debt account continue to be subject to limitations and require registrations with and reviews from the designated foreign exchange banks and SAFE. This could affect our Chinese operating subsidiary’s ability to obtain foreign currency through debt or equity financing, including by means of loans or capital contributions from us. We cannot predict the effect of future changes in Renminbi and foreign currency regulations on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Our shares may be delisted under the Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act if the PCAOB is unable to inspect auditors who are located in China. The delisting of our shares, or the threat of their being delisted, may materially and adversely affect the value of your investment. Additionally, the inability of the PCAOB to conduct inspections deprives our investors with the benefits of such inspections.

The Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act, or the HFCAA, was enacted on December 18, 2020. The HFCAA states if the SEC determines that we have filed audit reports issued by a registered public accounting firm that has not been subject to inspection by the PCAOB for three consecutive years beginning in 2021, the SEC shall prohibit our shares from being traded on a national securities exchange or in the “over-the-counter” trading market in the U.S.

Our independent registered public accounting firm that issues the audit reports included in our annual reports filed with the SEC, as an auditor of companies whose shares are publicly traded in the United States, is registered with the PCAOB. As a PCAOB registered firm, our auditor is required by the laws of the United States to undergo regular inspections by the PCAOB to assess its compliance with relevant U.S. laws and professional standards. Our auditor engages its China-based affiliate to audit our China entities and China is a jurisdiction where the PCAOB is currently unable to conduct inspections without the approval of the Chinese authorities.

The SEC may propose additional rules or guidance that could impact us if our auditor is not subject to PCAOB inspection. For example, on August 6, 2020, the President’s Working Group on Financial Markets, or the PWG, issued the Report on Protecting United States Investors from Significant Risks from Chinese Companies to the then President of the United States. This report recommended the SEC implement five recommendations to address companies from jurisdictions that do not provide the PCAOB with sufficient access to fulfil its statutory mandate. Some of the concepts of these recommendations were implemented with the enactment of the HFCAA. However, some of the recommendations were more stringent than the HFCAA. For example, if a company was not subject to PCAOB inspection, the report recommended that the transition period before a company would be delisted would end on January 1, 2022.

The SEC has announced that the SEC staff is preparing a consolidated proposal for the rules regarding the implementation of the HFCAA and to address the recommendations in the PWG report. It is unclear when the SEC will complete its rulemaking and when such rules will become effective and what, if any, of the PWG recommendations will be adopted. The implications of this possible regulation in addition the requirements of the HFCAA are uncertain. In addition, whether the PCAOB will be able to conduct inspections of the China-based affiliate of our auditors in the next three years, or at all, is subject to substantial uncertainty and depends on a number of factors out of our control. These uncertainties could cause the market price of our shares to be materially and adversely affected, and our securities could be delisted or prohibited from being traded “over-the-counter” earlier than would be required by the HFCAA. If our securities are unable to be listed on another securities exchange by then, such a delisting would substantially impair your ability to sell or purchase our shares when you wish to do so, and the risk and uncertainty associated with a potential delisting would have a negative impact on the price of our shares. Moreover, such a delisting would significantly affect our ability to raise capital on terms acceptable to us, or at all, which would materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and prospects. We continue to monitor the implementation of the HFCAA and related developments, which remain uncertain as of the date of this Annual Report.

The inability of the PCAOB to conduct inspections of the China-based affiliate of our independent registered public accounting firm makes it more difficult to evaluate the effectiveness of such affiliate’s audit procedures or quality control procedures. As a result, investors may be deprived of the benefits of PCAOB inspections, and investors and potential investors in our stock may lose confidence in our audit procedures, reported financial information and the quality of our financial statements, which may adversely affect the market price of our shares.

If additional remedial measures are imposed on the Chinese affiliates of certain global accounting firms, including the “big four” accounting firms pursuant to administrative proceedings brought by the SEC against them, we could be unable to timely file future financial statements in compliance with the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).

Starting in 2011 the Chinese affiliates of certain global accounting firms, including our independent registered public accounting firm, were affected by a conflict between U.S. and Chinese laws. Specifically, for certain U.S.-listed companies operating and audited in mainland China, the SEC and the PCAOB sought to obtain from the Chinese firms access to their audit work papers and related documents. The firms were, however, advised and directed that under China law they could not respond directly to the US regulators on those requests, and that requests by foreign regulators for access to such papers in China had to be channeled through the CSRC.

##### Table of Contents

In late 2012, this impasse led the SEC to commence administrative proceedings under Rule 102(e) of its Rules of Practice and also under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act against the Chinese accounting firms (including our independent registered public accounting firm). A first instance trial of the proceedings in July 2013 in the SEC’s internal administrative court resulted in an adverse judgment against the firms. The administrative law judge proposed penalties on the firms, including a temporary suspension of their right to practice before the SEC, although that proposed penalty was subject to the pending review of the SEC Commissioner. On February 6, 2015, prior to the SEC Commissioner’s scheduled review, the firms reached a settlement with the SEC. Under the settlement, the SEC agreed that its future requests for the production of documents would normally be made to the CSRC. The firms would receive matching requests under Section 106 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, and are required to abide by a detailed set of procedures with respect to such requests, which in substance required them to facilitate production via the CSRC. If they fail to meet the specified criteria, the SEC retains the authority to impose a variety of additional remedial measures on the firms depending on the nature of the failure. Remedies for any future non-compliance could include, as appropriate, an automatic six-month bar on a single firm’s performance of certain audit work, commencement of a new proceeding against the firm, or in extreme cases, the resumption of the current proceeding against all four “big four” accounting firms.

Under the terms of the settlement, the underlying proceeding against the four PRC-based accounting firms was deemed dismissed with prejudice at the end of four years starting from the settlement date, which was on February 6, 2019. Despite the final ending of the proceedings, the presumption is that all parties will continue to apply the same procedures i.e. the SEC will continue to make its requests for the production of documents to the CSRC, and the CSRC will normally process those requests applying the sanitization procedure. We cannot predict whether, in cases where the CSRC does not authorize production of requested documents to the SEC, the SEC will further challenge the four PRC-based accounting firms’ compliance with U.S. law.

Risks relating to our investment in HLGE

The HLGE group operates Copthorne Hotel Cameron Highlands (“CHCH”), a hotel in Cameron Highlands, Malaysia. As of February 28, 2021, we had a 48.9% shareholding interest in HLGE, a company listed on the Main Board of the Singapore Exchange Securities Trading Limited (the “Singapore Exchange”). See “Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects — Business Expansion and Diversification Plan” for further information on our investment in HLGE. Set forth below are risks related to our equity interest in HLGE.

The HLGE group’s hotel ownership and management business may be adversely affected by risks inherent in the hotel industry.

The HLGE group’s financial performance is dependent on the performance of the hotel it operates. The HLGE group’s hotel ownership and management business are exposed to risks which are inherent in and/or common to the hotel industry and which may adversely affect the HLGE group’s financial performance, including the following:

• |  | a decrease in occupancy rates as a result of a prolonged recovery of the hospitality, tourism and travel industries from the COVID-19 pandemic, and future outbreaks of communicable diseases (see “Item 3. Key Information — Risk Factors — Risks Relating to China — Outbreaks of communicable diseases in various parts of China and other countries may materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.”);

• |  | changes to the international, regional and local economic climate and market conditions (including but not limited to changes to regional and local populations, changes in travel patterns and preferences, and oversupply of or reduced demand for hotel rooms that may result in reduced occupancy levels and performance for the hotels it operates);

• |  | changes to the political, economic, legal or social environments of the countries in which the HLGE group operates (including developments with respect to inflation or deflation, interest rates, currency fluctuations, governmental policies, real estate laws and regulations, taxation, fuel costs, expropriation, including the impact of the current global financial crisis);

• |  | increased threat of terrorism, terrorist events, airline strikes, hostilities between countries or increased risk of natural disasters or viral epidemics that may affect travel patterns and reduce the number of travelers and tourists;

• |  | changes in laws and governmental regulations (including those relating to the operation of hotels, preparation and sale of food and beverages, occupational health and safety working conditions and laws and regulations governing its relationship with employees);

• |  | competition from other international, regional and independent hotel companies, some of which may have greater name recognition and financial resources than the HLGE group (including competition in relation to hotel room rates, convenience, services or amenities offered);

• |  | losses arising out of damage to CHCH, where such losses may not be covered by the insurance policies maintained by the HLGE group;

23

##### Table of Contents

• |  | increases in operating costs due to inflation, labor costs (including the impact of unionization), workers’ compensation and health-care related costs, utility costs, insurance and unanticipated costs such as acts of nature and their consequences;

• |  | fluctuations in foreign currencies arising from the HLGE group’s various currency exposures;

• |  | dependence on leisure travel and tourism; and

• |  | adverse effects of a downturn in the hospitality industry, including the impact due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The above factors may materially affect the performance of CHCH and the profitability and financial condition of the HLGE group. There can be no assurance that we will not suffer any losses arising from our investment in HLGE.

The hospitality business is a regulated business.

The operation of hotels in Malaysia is subject to various laws and regulations. The withdrawal, suspension or non-renewal of any of the hotels’ licenses, or the imposition of any penalties, as a result of any infringement or non-compliance with any requirement, will have an adverse impact on the business and results of operations of CHCH. Further, any changes in such laws and regulations may also have an impact on the businesses at the hotels and result in higher costs of compliance. In addition, any failure to comply with these laws and regulations could result in the imposition of fines or other penalties by the relevant authorities. This could have an adverse impact on the revenues and profits of HLGE group or otherwise adversely affect the operations of CHCH.

China Yuchai International Limited is a Bermuda holding company established on April 29, 1993 to own a controlling interest in Yuchai. We currently own, through six of our wholly-owned subsidiaries, 76.4% of the outstanding shares of Yuchai. We operate as an exempted company limited by shares under The Companies Act 1981 of Bermuda. Our registered office is located at 2 Clarendon House, Church Street, Hamilton HM11, Bermuda. On March 7, 2008, we registered a branch office of the Company in Singapore, located at 16 Raffles Quay #26-00, Hong Leong Building, Singapore 048581. Our principal operating office is located at 16 Raffles Quay #39-01A, Hong Leong Building, Singapore 048581. Our telephone number is (+65) 6220-8411. Our transfer agent and registrar in the United States is Computershare Inc., located at 480 Washington Blvd., 26th Floor Jersey City, NJ 07310.

Until August 2002, we were controlled by Diesel Machinery, a company that was 53.0% owned by Hong Leong Asia, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Hong Leong China. Hong Leong China owns HL Technology which held shares in us through Diesel Machinery. Diesel Machinery was also 47.0% owned by China Everbright Holdings Company Limited, or China Everbright Holdings, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Coomber. Hong Leong Asia, a company listed on the Singapore Exchange, is part of the Hong Leong Investment group, which was founded in 1941 by the Kwek family of Singapore and remains one of the largest privately-controlled business groups in Southeast Asia. In 2002, China Everbright Holdings and Coomber gave notice to Diesel Machinery and the other shareholders of Diesel Machinery to effect a liquidation of Diesel Machinery. As a result of the liquidation, Hong Leong Asia acquired the special share through HL Technology which entitles Hong Leong Asia to elect a majority of our directors and also to veto any resolution of our shareholders. China Everbright Holdings sold its shareholding in Coomber, which held shares of our Common Stock, in October 2002 to Goldman Industrial Limited, or Goldman, and China Everbright Holdings is no longer a shareholder of our company. Goldman was a subsidiary of Zhong Lin Development Company Limited, or Zhong Lin, an investment vehicle of the city government of Yulin in Guangxi, China until September 29, 2006 when Zhong Lin sold its shareholding in Goldman to the GY Group.

We provide certain management, financial planning, internal audit services, internal control testing, IFRS training, business enhancement consulting and other services to Yuchai and we continue to have a team working full-time at Yuchai’s principal manufacturing facilities in Yulin city. In addition, the President, Chief Financial Officer and a manager proficient in Section 404 of Sarbanes—Oxley Act of 2002, or SOX, travel frequently, usually monthly for as much as up to two weeks at a time, to Yuchai to actively participate in Yuchai’s operations and decision-making process.

Our main operating asset has historically been, and continues to be, our ownership interest in Yuchai, and our primary source of cash flow has historically been our share of the dividends, if any, paid by Yuchai and investment income thereon. However, on February 7, 2005, the Board of Directors of the Company announced its approval of the implementation of a business expansion and diversification plan by the Company. Following such announcement, we have looked for new business opportunities to seek to reduce our financial dependence on Yuchai:

• |  | In March 2005, we acquired a 15.0% interest in the capital of TCL through VDL. We have since divested the majority of our interest in TCL and as of December 31, 2020, we had a 2.33% interest in the outstanding ordinary shares of TCL, which has further reduced to 2.02% as of February 28, 2021. See “Item 3. Key Information – Selected Financial Data – Relating to our interest in TCL.”

• |  | In February 2006, we acquired debt and equity securities in HLGE through two wholly-owned subsidiaries. Our shareholding in HLGE has changed through various transactions and as of December 31, 2012, we had a 48.9% interest in the outstanding ordinary shares of HLGE, which has remained unchanged as of February 28, 2021.

HLGE and TCL are each listed on the Main Board of the Singapore Exchange.

We have eight wholly-owned subsidiaries which directly hold investments in Yuchai, HLGE and TCL, as described below:

• |  | Through our 76.4% interest in Yuchai held by six wholly-owned subsidiaries, we primarily conduct our manufacturing and sale of diesel engines which are mainly distributed in the PRC market.

• |  | As of February 28, 2021, through our wholly-owned subsidiary, Grace Star, we had a 48.9% shareholding interest in HLGE. The HLGE group is engaged in hospitality and property development activities conducted mainly in Malaysia.

• |  | As of February 28, 2021, through our wholly-owned subsidiary, VDL, we had a 2.02% equity interest in TCL. The TCL group invests directly or with co-investors in real estate and other investment opportunities which include property-backed financial instruments.

For more details on our investments in HLGE and TCL, see “Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects — Business Expansion and Diversification Plan.”

Since January 1, 2020, there have been no public takeovers by third parties in respect of our shares, and we have not made any public takeovers in respect of other companies’ shares.

Yuchai

Yuchai engages in the manufacture, assembly and sale of a wide variety of light-, medium- and heavy-duty engines for trucks, buses, passenger vehicles, construction equipment, and marine and agriculture applications in China. Yuchai also produces engines for diesel power generators. The engines produced by Yuchai range from diesel to natural gas and hybrid engines. Through its regional sales offices and authorized customer service centers, Yuchai distributes its engines directly to auto original equipment manufacturers (“OEMs”), agents and retailers and provides maintenance and retrofitting services throughout China.

Yuchai was founded in 1951. Prior to 1984, Yuchai was a small producer of low-power diesel engines for agricultural machinery. In 1984, Yuchai introduced the earliest model of its YC6J diesel engine for medium-duty trucks. In July 1992, in order to raise funds for further expansion, Yuchai was restructured into a joint stock company. As a result of this restructuring, Yuchai was incorporated as a joint stock company in July 1992 and succeeded the machinery business of Yulin Diesel. All of Yulin Diesel’s businesses, other than its machinery business, as well as certain social service related operations, assets, liabilities and employees (for example, cafeterias, cleaning and security services, a hotel and a department store), were transferred to the GY Group. The GY Group also became the majority shareholder of Yuchai through its ownership stake of approximately 104 million shares of Yuchai, or GY Group Shares. In connection with its incorporation, Yuchai also issued seven million shares to various Chinese institutional investors, or Legal Person Shares.

In May 1993, in order to finance further expansion, Yuchai sold shares to the Company. Our initial shareholders, consisting of HL Technology, Sun Yuan Overseas (BVI) Ltd., or Sun Yuan BVI, the Cathay Investment Fund, Limited, or Cathay, GS Capital Partners L.P., or GSCP, and Coomber, then a wholly-owned subsidiary of China Everbright Holdings and, thus, controlled by China Everbright International Limited, or China Everbright International, made their initial investments in Yuchai in May 1993, when their respective wholly-owned subsidiaries purchased for cash in the aggregate 200 million newly-issued shares of Yuchai (51.3% of the then-outstanding shares of Yuchai). These shareholders exchanged with the Company their shareholdings in their wholly-owned subsidiaries, six companies which held Foreign Shares of Yuchai, for 20 million shares of our Common Stock (after giving effect to a 10-for-1 stock split in July 1994, or the Stock Split). In connection therewith, Yuchai became a Sino-foreign joint stock company and became subject to the laws and regulations relating to joint stock limited liability companies and Sino-foreign joint venture companies in China. Foreign Shares may be held by and transferred to non-Chinese legal and natural persons, subject to the approval of the Ministry of Commerce, the successor entity to the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation of China, or MOFTEC. Foreign Shares are entitled to the same economic rights as GY Group Shares and Legal Person Shares. GY Group Shares are shares purchased with state assets by government departments or organizations authorized to represent state investment. Legal Person Shares are shares purchased by Chinese legal persons or institutions or social groups with legal person status and with assets authorized by the state for use in business.

In November 1994, we purchased from an affiliate of China Everbright Holdings 78,015,500 Foreign Shares of Yuchai in exchange for the issuance of 7,801,550 shares of our Common Stock (after giving effect to the Stock Split), or the China Everbright Holdings Purchase. The 78,015,500 Foreign Shares of Yuchai held by Earnest Assets Limited, a subsidiary of China Everbright Holdings and China Everbright International before its sale to us had been originally issued as Legal Person Shares and GY Group Shares and were converted to Foreign Shares, pursuant to approvals granted by MOFTEC. As a result, the Company became the owner of each of these six companies: Hong Leong Technology Systems (BVI) Ltd., Tsang & Ong Nominees (BVI) Ltd., Cathay Diesel Holdings Ltd., Goldman Sachs Guangxi Holdings (BVI) Ltd., Youngstar Holdings Limited and Earnest Assets Limited.

In December 1994, we sold 7,538,450 shares of Common Stock in our initial public offering and used substantially all of the proceeds to finance our six wholly-owned subsidiaries’ purchase of 83,404,650 additional Foreign Shares in Yuchai.

In connection with our purchase, through our six wholly-owned subsidiaries, of additional Yuchai Shares with proceeds of our initial public offering, Yuchai offered additional shares pro rata to its other existing shareholders (30 shares for each 100 shares owned) in accordance with such shareholders’ pre-emptive rights, and each of our subsidiaries was able to acquire these additional Foreign Shares in Yuchai. Such pro rata offering (including the offering to the Company) is referred to herein as the “Yuchai Offering.” Certain Legal Person shareholders subscribed for additional shares in the Yuchai Offering. The GY Group informed Yuchai at the time that it would not subscribe for any of its portion of Yuchai Shares (31,345,094 shares) in the Yuchai Offering. In order to obtain MOFTEC’s approval of the Yuchai Offering, the GY Group was given the right by Yuchai’s Board of Directors to subscribe for approximately 31 million shares of Yuchai at a price of RMB 6.29 per share at any time prior to December 1998. This was because provisional regulations of the State Administration Bureau of State Property, or SABSP, and the State Committee of Economic System Reform, or SCESR, published in November 1994, imposed on any holder of state-owned shares certain obligations to protect its interest in any share offering. Under such regulations, the GY Group could have been required to subscribe for Yuchai Shares in the Yuchai Offering. Yuchai’s shareholders subsequently agreed to extend the duration of such subscription right to March 31, 2002 (the exercise of which would have reduced our ownership of Yuchai from 76.4% to 71.7%). The GY Group informed the shareholders of Yuchai that it had determined not to subscribe for additional Yuchai Shares and this determination was noted by the Yuchai Board of Directors on November 1, 2002. However, given the November 1994 provisional regulations of the SABSP and the SCESR, the SABSP, the SCESR and/or the Ministry of Commerce may take action against the GY Group, and there can be no assurance that any such action would not, directly or indirectly, have a material adverse effect on Yuchai or the Company.

Reorganization Agreement

On April 7, 2005, we entered into the Reorganization Agreement with Yuchai and Coomber, which is intended to be in furtherance of the implementation of the restructuring contemplated in the agreement dated July 19, 2003 between the Company and Yuchai with respect to the Company’s investment in Yuchai (the “July 2003 Agreement”), as amended and incorporated into the Cooperation Agreement on June 30, 2007. The terms of the Reorganization Agreement have also been acknowledged and agreed to by the GY Group. The Reorganization Agreement provides for the implementation of corporate governance guidelines approved by the directors and shareholders of Yuchai in November 2002 and outlines steps for the adoption of corporate governance practices at Yuchai conforming to international custom and practice. Pursuant to the Reorganization Agreement, Yuchai also acknowledged and affirmed our continued rights as majority shareholder to direct the management and policies of Yuchai through Yuchai’s Board of Directors.

Subsequent to the execution of the Reorganization Agreement, a number of steps have been taken by the parties thereto towards its implementation. For example, Yuchai’s directors and shareholders have confirmed that the amendments to Yuchai’s Articles of Association and corporate governance guidelines required to be adopted by Yuchai pursuant to the Reorganization Agreement have been ratified and implemented, and that steps are being taken to have such amendments and guidelines approved by the relevant Chinese authorities. The amended Articles of Association was approved by the Guangxi Department of Commerce on December 2, 2009.

Cooperation Agreement

The Reorganization Agreement was scheduled to terminate on June 30, 2007. On June 30, 2007, we entered into the Cooperation Agreement with Yuchai, Coomber and the GY Group. The Cooperation Agreement amends certain terms of the Reorganization Agreement, as amended, among CYI, Yuchai and Coomber, and as so amended, incorporates the terms of the Reorganization Agreement.

Pursuant to the amendments to the Reorganization Agreement, the Company agreed that the restructuring and spin-off of Yuchai would not be effected, and, recognizing the understandings that have been reached between the Company and the GY Group to jointly undertake efforts to expand the business of Yuchai, the Company would not seek to recover the anti-dilution fee of US$20 million from Yuchai.

The Cooperation Agreement provides that the parties will explore new business opportunities and ventures for the growth and expansion of Yuchai’s existing businesses. Although the parties to the Cooperation Agreement expect to work towards its implementation as expeditiously as possible, no assurance can be given as to when the transactions contemplated therein will be consummated.

Various amendments to Yuchai’s Articles of Association had been ratified and adopted by Yuchai in 2007 and were approved by the Guangxi Department of Commerce on December 2, 2009.

Business Overview

Emission Standards

The National IV emission standards for diesel engines were implemented throughout China on July 1, 2013 and strict enforcement of the standards nationwide commenced on January 1, 2015. In an effort to combat increasing air pollution, the National V emission standards for natural gas engines were implemented throughout China on January 1, 2013. In addition, the Chinese government mandated that all new registrations in Beijing of diesel engine vehicles for use in public transit and light-duty gasoline powered engine vehicles must comply with the National V emission standards with effect from February 1, 2013 and March 1, 2013, respectively. In 2016, the MIIT and the Ministry of Environmental Protection (superseded by the MEE in 2018) announced that all light petrol vehicles, light diesel buses, and heavy diesel vehicles used for the purposes of public transportation, environmental sanitation and postal services must comply with National V emission standards from January 1, 2017. All other heavy diesel vehicles and all light diesel vehicles nationwide are required to comply with the National V emission standards from July 1, 2017 and January 1, 2018, respectively. In June 2018, the MEE announced that all diesel powered heavy-duty vehicles must comply with the National VI emission standards in different phases: (a) Natural gas engines driven heavy-duty vehicles are required to comply with the National VI(a) emission standards from July 1, 2019, and the National VI(b) emission standards from January 1, 2021; (b) Diesel engine driven municipal vehicles are required to comply with the National VI(a) emission standards from July 1, 2020, and all diesel driven heavy-duty vehicles are to comply with the National VI(a) emission standards from July 1, 2021; and (c) All diesel driven heavy-duty vehicles are required to comply with the National VI(b) emission standards from July 1, 2023.

Yuchai produces diesel engines compliant with the National V and National VI emission standards and natural gas engines compliant with the National V and National VI emission standards as well as develop alternative fuels and environmentally friendly hybrid engines with improved fuel efficiency. In October 2010 and October 2014, China officially implemented the Tier-2 and Tier-3 emission standards nationwide, respectively. Strict enforcement of the Tier-3 emission standards was implemented nationwide on December 1, 2016. The Tier-4 emission standards were implemented in Beijing and Shenzhen on January 1, 2015 and October 1, 2015, respectively. Yuchai is able to produce diesel engines compliant with both the Tier-2 and Tier-3 emission standards for use in off-road machinery. As distribution of the Tier-2 compliant diesel engines is prohibited in China with effect from October 1, 2015, Yuchai has reduced production of such engines but continues to produce such engines solely for export from China. In December 2020, MEE announced the approval of the Tier-4 emission standards, and any off-road machinery (below 560 kW) that does not comply with the Tier-4 emission standards is prohibited from production, import and selling in China from December 1, 2022.

Products and Product Development — Yuchai

Yuchai manufactures diesel and natural gas engines for light-, medium- and heavy-duty trucks, buses and passenger vehicles, marine and industrial applications and generator sets. Yuchai also manufactures diesel engines for construction and agriculture applications and is a supplier of after-market parts and services.

In 2018, Yuchai revised its classification system for light-, medium- and heavy-duty engines. Light-duty engines have engine capacity of 3.8 liters and less; medium-duty engines have engine capacity of between 3.8 liters and 7.0 liters; and heavy-duty engines have engine capacity of more than 7.0 liters. In addition to engine capacity, the new classification system takes into account the commercial application of the engines by original equipment manufacturers. For example, certain 4-cylinder engines that were previously classified as light-duty engines have been reclassified as medium-duty engines to the extent that they have application in the light- and medium-duty segments.

Yuchai intends to improve its competitiveness across all current engine platforms, including light-, medium- and heavy-duty engines. Yuchai is focusing on higher emission standard engines. We have developed and commenced production of these high emission standard engines prior to the implementation dates for such standards in China. In 2018, Yuchai established a new subsidiary, Guangxi Yuchai Exhaust Technology Co., Ltd., to design, produce and sell exhaust emission control systems to meet National VI standards.

Yuchai is also expanding its production and research and development capabilities in natural gas engines in order to meet the growing demand in the natural gas engine market in China and provide a full range of natural gas engines to complement all of its current diesel engine models. Yuchai is also extending its high horse power marine diesel and power generator engines to cover engines from 16 liters up to 107 liters.

In November 2019, Yuchai announced that its 71.8%-owned subsidiary, Guangxi Yuchai Machinery Monopoly Development Co., Ltd. registered in Vietnam a wholly-owned business enterprise, Vietnam Yuchai Machinery Services Co., Ltd., to facilitate the greater market penetration of the Vietnamese market with Yuchai’s products and services. This new subsidiary provides wholesale and retail distribution, technical advisory and consulting, engine maintenance and repair services.

| (a) | 4-Cylinder Diesel Engines

Trial production of the 4-cylinder diesel engines commenced in late 1999 and today, they represent a stable of reliable and high- performance engines. Significant improvements to the technical specifications of the 4-cylinder engines to meet National V emission standards have resulted in higher customer acceptance resulting in consistent sales demand. The National V compliant engines will be gradually phased out from the China market with the implementation of the National VI emission regulations from July 2020 onwards. Yuchai may retain certain National V products for the export market.

Our line of 4-cylinder diesel engines consists of the following models:

• |  | The YCY20 engine compliant with National VI emission standards is for use in passenger vehicles, light-duty buses and pick-up trucks. It has a displacement volume of 2.17 liter and a maximum power output of 150 PS with a maximum torque of 350 N-m.

Procurement

Yuchai manufactures engine blocks, cylinder heads, crankshaft, camshaft and certain other key parts. Third party suppliers provide the remaining engine parts. The production process involves the complete assembly and testing of the finished products. Yuchai’s procurement policy requires the same product to be sourced from at least two distinct sources. The same practice applies to all other externally procured engine parts. Yuchai is continually seeking to improve its procurement strategy by seeking new suppliers with competitive prices and quality.

Yuchai has progressively reduced its reliance on imported parts and components in recent years, in part due to an increasing number of international suppliers having local manufacturing and logistics capabilities in China. For instance, Yuchai’s fuel combustion equipment and its electronic control systems are purchased from the local factory of an international supplier operating in China.

Engine Block

Yuchai cast and molded more than 374,000 units of engine blocks in 2020 representing a large portion of its engine blocks used in production.

Raw Materials

Yuchai purchases raw materials, principally scrap steel and cast iron, from domestic suppliers. An increase in the prices of these raw materials would generally increase our costs of production. We have experienced volatility in the prices of raw materials in the past. See also “Item 3. Key Information — Risk Factors — Risks relating to our company and our business — If China’s inflation increases or the prices of energy or raw materials increase, we may not be able to pass the resulting increased costs on to our customers and this may adversely affect our profitability or cause us to suffer operating losses.”

Quality Assurance, Control and Safety

All raw materials, external supplied parts and components are checked for conformity with the required quality and specifications. Each stage of the production process is monitored by a quality control procedure and the final product undergoes standard conformity and specification testing using an automated testing laboratory. To promote the safety of its workers, Yuchai has established a safety department to supervise the proper use of equipment to prevent fire and explosions and promote safe practices and procedures in the workplace.

Manufacturing Capacity Expansion

Yuchai believes that the current production capacity of all engine lines will meet the expected demand. Yuchai is continuously assessing the market demand and devising production strategies to secure and meet these market opportunities.

Research and Development

Yuchai has committed substantial resources to continually improve the technology of its products and maintain the competitiveness of its products. Yuchai’s internal development effort focuses primarily on designing new products, improving manufacturing processes and adapting foreign technology to the Chinese market. Yuchai has committed to continually improve the technology of its products by acquiring advanced technology from Chinese research institutes, foreign engine design consulting firms and foreign diesel engine and engine parts manufacturers.

##### Table of Contents

In 2018, research and development efforts were mainly for research and development of new engines compliant with the more stringent National VI and Tier-4 emission standards that are to be implemented over the next few years. In 2019, Yuchai’s research and development efforts were mainly related to National VI engine testing and calibration to support domestic vehicle OEMs who had installed Yuchai engines in their National VI vehicles. The development of Tier-4 emission compliant engines is on-going and the prototype engines are in preparation for delivery. In 2020, Yuchai’s research and development efforts were mainly related to National VI emission standards compliant engine testing and calibration, to support domestic commercial vehicle OEMs on the launch of new emission regulation-compliant vehicles. Yuchai’s development of Tier-4 emission compliant engines is on-going and it is starting to deliver the prototype engines to selected off-road machinery OEMs. In addition, Yuchai launched two range extender power systems of 65 kW and 100 kW rating for new energy vehicles. See “Item 4. Information on the Company — Business Overview — Products and Product Development — Yuchai — New Energy Products” for more details.

As a result of its research and development efforts, Yuchai has a large patents portfolio with over 3,000 patents registered in China as of December 31, 2020. The types of patents that Yuchai has registered are invention patents, utility model patents and design patents. The term of patent protection is 10 or 20 years from the filing date depending on the type of patent registered.

Future Products

Yuchai believes that its long-term business prospects will largely depend upon its ability to develop and introduce new or improved products with higher quality and competitive pricing. Future products may utilize different technologies and may require knowledge of markets that Yuchai does not currently possess.

Yuchai intends to continue to work with foreign engine design consulting firms and foreign engine manufacturers for technological assistance in improving its products and developing new products, and expects such cooperation to continue. The introduction of new engine products will also require significant capital expenditures, such as purchases of foreign manufacturing equipment and technologies. See “Item 3. Key Information — Risk Factors — Risks relating to our company and our business — Competition in China from other diesel engine manufacturers may adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations, business or prospects.”

Sales, Marketing and Services

Sales and Marketing

Yuchai distributes the majority of its engines directly to auto plants and agents from its primary manufacturing facilities in Yulin City. In addition, Yuchai operates a number of regional offices in major geographic regions in China. With a sales force of approximately 606 persons nationwide in China, Yuchai provides a comprehensive range of services to its customers, including dispatching engineers to provide on-site assistance to major customers in the resolution of technical problems.

Yuchai promotes its products primarily through exhibitions, internet, social media, outdoor sign boards, and advertisements in newspapers and industry journals. In October 2019, Yuchai participated in the 70th Anniversary celebration of the founding of modern China with Yuchai engines propelling vehicles in the National Day parade in Beijing.

Since 1993, Yuchai has been sponsoring an annual program for its customer service stations with information brochures and customer suggestion cards for the improvement of Yuchai’s service. These customer service stations form Yuchai’s service and maintenance network. In relation to those engines which are under warranty cover, these customer service stations perform the routine maintenance checks and repairs on end-users’ diesel engines free of charge to the customers, and the corresponding costs are borne by Yuchai. When the warranty expires, these customer service stations can continue to serve Yuchai clients at their own choice and costs.

Yuchai believes that its promotional efforts are unique for an automotive component company in China and lead to greater brand name recognition among end-users. Yuchai further believes that it leads its competitors in providing high quality after-sales services through its 3,146 authorized customer service stations in China. The customer service stations are independently owned and are able to provide emergency services to its end-users within a 40-km radius in the central, eastern and southern parts of China.

Yuchai has continued to focus its sales efforts on retailers and end-users of diesel engines. Yuchai seeks to encourage end-users of gasoline engine trucks to replace their gasoline engines with Yuchai diesel engines by advertising the advantages of diesel engines. With the advent of a natural gas refueling network across the nation, customers have the additional option of using Yuchai’s natural gas engines. Such sales of replacement engines are generally made through customer service centers at a retail price which is higher than the sales price to truck manufacturers.

Yuchai believes that proximity to its factories in Yulin City is an important factor in the geographical make-up of its customers. Due in part to transportation and shipping costs, a substantial majority of Yuchai’s engines are sold to customers in southern and central eastern China. Customers’ geographical make-up is segmented by Guangxi, Henan, Sichuan, Hubei, Fujian, East and North East China.

Customers’ orders with Yuchai can be cancelled either by Yuchai or its customers prior to delivery in accordance with the sales contracts. As part of Yuchai’s credit procedures to control and manage its trade receivables, Yuchai may hold shipments for delivery if customers’ credit positions are not satisfactory or if customers have not made payments for earlier deliveries. There can be no assurance that such credit-controlling measures will successfully control Yuchai’s trade receivables balance, or that they will not adversely affect the future purchasing decisions of Yuchai’s customers. As of December 31, 2020, Yuchai had net trade and bills receivables of RMB 8,092.5 million (US$1,250.5 million), representing 42.0% of our consolidated current assets.

Export Sales

Yuchai exports a very small percentage of its products directly outside China, as the following table indicates:

|  | 2018 |  |  | 2019 |  |  | 2020 |
|  | Revenue |  |  | % of Revenue |  |  | Unit Sales |  |  | Revenue |  |  | % of Revenue |  |  | Unit Sales |  |  | Revenue |  |  | % of Revenue |  |  | Unit Sales |

Most of Yuchai’s products that are exported outside of China are sold indirectly through third party distributors who purchase them from Yuchai and resell them on to end-users in subsequent and separate transactions. All of these distributors are separate legal entities in which Yuchai has no equity interest in or control over and Yuchai relies on self-reporting by these distributors in relation to their sales. In 2020, the top five export markets of Yuchai (in descending order) comprising both direct sales as well as sales through third-party distributors were Vietnam, Myanmar, Philippines, Ghana and Saudi Arabia. In 2019, the top five export markets of Yuchai (in descending order) comprising both direct sales as well as sales through third-party distributors were Myanmar, Philippines, Vietnam, Algeria and Saudi Arabia. In 2018, the top five export markets of Yuchai (in descending order) comprising both direct sales as well as sales through third-party distributors were Myanmar, Philippines, Vietnam, Laos and Cuba.

In February 2014, Yuchai appointed China Auto Caiec Ltd. (formerly known as China Automotive Industry Import and Export Co., Ltd.), a company based in China, on an exclusive basis for two years to export Yuchai’s products into Cuba. The agreement requires China Auto Caiec Ltd. to use its best efforts to export more than 1,500 units (whole engines or parts) per year. In 2020, eight engines had been sold to Cuba pursuant to this agreement, representing 0.002% of our total unit sales in 2020. The agreement was automatically renewed under its terms in February 2020 for two years.

Customer Service

Yuchai believes that customer service is an important part of maintaining its market competitiveness. In addition to various services provided initially at its sales offices, Yuchai has a nationwide network of authorized service stations in China that provide repair and maintenance services, spare parts, retrofitting services and training to Yuchai’s customers. To ensure a consistently high level of service, Yuchai trains the technicians at regional training centers or selected service stations. In addition, Yuchai also owns and operates repair training centers. The costs of any warranty-related services or repairs are borne by Yuchai, and all non-warranty activities are charged to customers. Yuchai’s customer service program emphasizes a fast turnaround time on repair requests. As part of this policy, Yuchai supplies authorized service stations with spare parts for repairs and require these service stations to provide on-site assistance at the customer’s place of business generally within 3 to 12 hours, depending on the customer’s location.

Yuchai provides certain warranties for both general repairs and maintenance service. Provisions for general repairs are determined and provided at fiscal year-end based upon historical warranty cost per unit of engines sold, adjusted for specific conditions that may arise and the number of engines under warranty at each fiscal year end. See “Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects — Critical Accounting Policies — Product warranty obligations.”

Trademarks

The GY Group owns and maintains the Chinese trademark registrations of its principal trademarks. Yuchai has entered into trademark license agreements with the GY Group according to which Yuchai has the right to use these trademarks. Yuchai believes that the Yuchai logo is well recognized as a quality brand in China.

Competition

The diesel engine industry in China is highly competitive. Yuchai believes it faces intense competition in the engine manufacturing industry across all of its engine platforms. The diesel engine market is fragmented and very price sensitive. Yuchai believes, based on internal studies, that competition is based primarily on performance, quality compliance with emission standards, price and after-sales service, and secondarily on noise, size and weight. Yuchai believes that its engines have a strong reputation among truck manufacturers and consumers for leading performance and reliability. In addition, Yuchai believes that its after-sales service to end-users of Yuchai engines, conducted through a nationwide network of authorized service stations and repair training centers in China, gives Yuchai a competitive advantage over other diesel engine producers.

The Dongfeng Group, which is a major competitor of Yuchai and which controls one of Yuchai’s largest competitors, is also one of Yuchai’s major customers and controls some of Yuchai’s other major customers. In 2020, sales to the Dongfeng Group accounted for 29.2% of our total revenue, of which our two largest customers, Dongfeng Liuzhou Motor Co., Ltd. and Dongfeng Special Truck Company of Dongfeng Commercial Vehicle Xinjiang Co., Ltd., accounted for 17.1% in total. Our sales to our top five customers including sales to the Dongfeng Group accounted for 46.6% of our total revenue in 2020. Some of Yuchai’s competitors have formed joint ventures with, or have technology assistance arrangements with, foreign diesel engine manufacturers or engine design consulting firms, and use foreign technology that is more advanced than Yuchai’s technology. Yuchai expects competition to intensify as a result of, among other things, improvements in competitors’ products, increased production capacity of competitors, increased utilization of unused capacity by competitors and price competition. Yuchai believes production capacity in the diesel engine industry has increased over the years which has further intensified competition. See “Item 3. Key Information — Risk Factors — Risks relating to our company and our business — Competition in China from other diesel engine manufacturers may adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations, business or prospects.”

The ongoing development of full electric vehicles for both the bus and truck markets in China will continue to present a source of competition for Yuchai’s engines because of the recent replacement of public transit buses, which had been a major bus engine market for Yuchai in the past, with electric vehicle buses in most cities of China.

The HLGE group

As of February 28, 2021, we had a 48.9% interest in the outstanding ordinary shares of HLGE. See “Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects — Business Expansion and Diversification Plan.” HLGE is listed on the Main Board of the Singapore Exchange. HLGE’s share price on the Singapore Exchange closed at S$0.28 on February 28, 2021. The core businesses of the HLGE group are that of hospitality operations and property development.

In October 2017, HLGE completed the disposal of its 60% equity interest in Copthorne Hotel Qingdao Co., Ltd. to Qingdao Haiyi Jun Zhuo Culture Travel Property Investment Co., Ltd. In November 2017, HLGE completed the disposal of its remaining hotel properties in China through the sale of all its shares in LKN Investment International Pte. Ltd. to an affiliate of Jingrui Holdings Limited. A portion of the proceeds from these disposals were used by the HLGE group to fully repay its debt obligations to us in the amount of S$68 million under a loan agreement. The original loan amount of S$93 million was granted to HLGE by a wholly-owned subsidiary of our company to refinance the outstanding zero coupon unsecured non-convertible bonds previously issued by HLGE and which matured on July 3, 2009. The loan amount was reduced to S$68 million through past repayments by HLGE.

The HLGE group wholly owns a Copthorne hotel in Cameron Highlands (Malaysia). Copthorne Hotel Cameron Highlands comprises 269 guest rooms and suites. It is the only hotel situated at the highest accessible point of Cameron Highlands, Malaysia. Located next to the hotel, is a Tudor-styled resort, where 69 units have been leased by the hotel from the owners of the resort for use by its guests. The resort comprises self-contained low-rise and high-rise apartment suites and each suite is equipped with a living room, a kitchenette and a balcony. To maintain its competitiveness, HLGE carries out renovation programs at CHCH from time to time as required.

The HLGE group recorded pre-tax losses for five consecutive fiscal years from 2009 to 2013 and in fiscal year 2015. For fiscal year 2014, the HLGE group recorded a profit mainly due to the acquisition by its wholly-owned subsidiary of the remaining 55% equity interest in Augustland Hotel Sdn Bhd, which owned CHCH. For fiscal year 2016, the HLGE group recorded pre-tax profit. For fiscal year 2017, the HLGE group recorded a profit mainly due to its disposals of (i) the HLGE group’s 60% equity interest in Copthorne Hotel Qingdao Co., Ltd. to Qingdao Haiyi Jun Zhuo Culture Travel Property Investment Co Ltd; and (ii) the HLGE group’s entire interests in LKN Investment International Pte. Ltd. to an affiliate of Jingrui Holdings Limited. Previously, HLGE’s average daily market capitalization has fallen below the minimum threshold of S$40 million resulting in it being placed on the Watch-list of the Singapore Stock Exchange (“Watch-list”) on June 4, 2014, for failing to comply with the minimum criteria for continued listing. These factors in the past made it difficult for the HLGE group to obtaining financing from financial institutions. In March 2018, HLGE converted of all of its existing issued and outstanding non-redeemable convertible cumulative preference shares into new ordinary shares of HLGE. On April 4, 2018, the Singapore Stock Exchange determined that HLGE met the Singapore Exchange’s Listing Manual criteria for exit from the Watch-list and removed HLGE from the Watch-list.

The HLGE group may require additional funds for its core businesses and to invest in future growth opportunities. There is no assurance that the HLGE group would be able to generate sufficient internal funds to finance its growth plans or identify and complete any potential merger and acquisition opportunities to grow its earnings base. Accordingly, the HLGE group may, depending on the cash flow requirements and financial condition, need to raise additional funds by issuing equity or a combination of equity and debt or by entering into strategic relationships or through other arrangements. Any additional equity financing by HLGE may dilute our equity interests in HLGE. Any debt financing may contain restrictive covenants with respect to dividends, future capital raising and other financial and operational matters. Failure to obtain sufficient funds to finance its growth plans may adversely affect the HLGE group’s business, financial performance and financial position.

Regulatory and Related Matters

Governance, Operation and Dissolution of Yuchai

Governance, operation and dissolution of Yuchai are governed by laws and regulations of China relating to Sino-foreign joint stock companies, as well as by Yuchai’s Articles of Association. Yuchai is subject to the relevant PRC labor laws and regulations with respect to labor management, which is overseen by the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security. In accordance with these laws and regulations, management may hire and discharge employees and make other determinations with respect to wages, welfare, insurances and employee discipline. Chinese laws and regulations applicable to a Sino-foreign joint stock company require that, before Yuchai distributes profits, it must: (i) satisfy all tax liabilities; (ii) recover losses in previous years; and (iii) make contributions to statutory reserve fund in an amount equal to at least 10% of net income for the year determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in China, or PRC GAAP. However, the allocation of statutory reserve fund will not be further required once the accumulated amount of such fund reaches 50% of the registered capital of Yuchai.

On March 15, 2019, a new foreign investment law was adopted in the second session of the 13th National People’s Congress (“FIL”). Upon its effectiveness on January 1, 2020, the existing Sino-Foreign Equity Joint Venture Law, the Wholly Foreign Owned Enterprise Law and the Sino-Foreign Cooperative Joint Venture Law, together with their implementation rules and ancillary regulations, have been repealed and the FIL has become the legal foundation regulating FIEs. The FIL grants national treatment to foreign-invested entities, except for those foreign-invested entities that operate in industries specified as either “restricted” or “prohibited” from foreign investment in a “negative list”. Yuchai is governed by the FIL and related implementing rules. See also “Item 3. Key Information — Risk Factors — Risks relating to China — Uncertainties in the interpretation and enforcement of PRC laws and regulations could limit the legal protections available to you and us.”

Pursuant to Chinese law and Yuchai’s Articles of Association, Yuchai may be dissolved upon the occurrence of certain events, including force majeure, severe losses, lack of supply of necessary materials or other events that render Yuchai unable to continue its operations. Upon dissolution, Yuchai will form a liquidation committee. Final dissolution is subject to government review and approval.

During 2003, we believe affiliates of the GY Group caused various Chinese government agencies to raise allegations of irregularities regarding the status of our ownership of and rights of control over Yuchai, which we believe was intended to try to limit our rights to exercise control over Yuchai. We further believe that such allegations were based on an inaccurate understanding of the structure of our ownership of Yuchai. We also believe that Yuchai’s ownership structure has been validly approved by the relevant Chinese authorities, and that the shares of Yuchai held by our six wholly-owned subsidiaries are legally and validly held under Chinese law. We have obtained legal opinions from two Chinese law firms confirming these matters (see the reports on Form 6-K filed by the Company with the SEC on April 1, 2005). We have also taken steps to communicate to the relevant Chinese government agencies the reasons for our position with respect to these matters. We believe the July 2003 Agreement, the Reorganization Agreement, as amended, and the Cooperation Agreement, when fully implemented will resolve the issues raised by the various Chinese governmental agencies relating to our share ownership in Yuchai and the continued corporate governance and other difficulties which we have had from time to time with respect to Yuchai. Based upon the above-mentioned legal opinions, we believe that in the event of a future dispute with the Chinese stakeholders at Yuchai, we expect to pursue as appropriate legal remedies in appropriate jurisdictions to seek to enforce our legal rights as the majority shareholder with a controlling financial interest in Yuchai to protect our investment for our benefit and the benefit of our shareholders. See also “Item 3. Key Information — Risk Factors.”

Property, Plant and Equipment

Yuchai’s headquarters and primary manufacturing facilities are located in Yulin City in the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region. Yuchai has the right to use approximately two million square meters of land, which is currently used primarily for the production of diesel engines, natural gas engines and employee housing. The principal production land area for the manufacture of diesel and natural gas engines currently occupies approximately 1.8 million square meters, including the existing production factories for all light-duty, medium-duty and heavy-duty engine models, a natural gas testing facility, a high horse power marine diesel engine and power generation engine plant, phases one, two and three of a foundry and various testing and supporting facilities. In addition, Yuchai leases a number of regional sales offices in China. As of December 31, 2018, 2019 and 2020, Yuchai’s total production capacity was approximately 487,500 units, 626,000 units and 626,000 units, respectively, based on a 2.5 shift five-day week at 80% utilization rate. Yuchai performs periodic maintenance and upgrading of production facilities. Yuchai also commits a significant portion of its annual capital expenditure for maintenance and upgrading to meet safety and production requirements. Yuchai is potentially exposed to varying environmental or natural disaster risks and could experience business interruptions, damage to its facilities and loss of life, all of which could have a material adverse effect on Yuchai’s business, financial condition and results of operations. See “Item 4. Information on the Company — Business Overview — Products and Product Development — Yuchai — Production.”

Environmental Matters

Yuchai expects that environmental standards and their enforcement in China will, as in many other countries, become more stringent over time, especially as technical advances make achievement of higher standards feasible. On January 18, 2016, the MIIT and the Ministry of Environmental Protection required that all light petrol vehicles, light diesel buses, and heavy diesel vehicles (for the purposes of public transportation, environmental sanitation and postal services) must comply with National V emission standards from January 1, 2017. All heavy diesel vehicles and all light diesel vehicles nationwide were required to comply with National V emission standards from July 1, 2017 and January 1, 2018, respectively. In June 2018, the MEE announced that all diesel powered heavy-duty vehicles must comply with the National VI emission standards in different phases: (a) natural gas engines driven heavy-duty vehicles are required to comply with the National VI(a) emission standards from July 1, 2019, and the National VI(b) emission standards from January 1, 2021; (b) diesel engine driven municipal vehicles are required to comply with the National VI(a) emission standards from July 1, 2020, and all diesel driven heavy-duty vehicles are to comply with the National VI(a) emission standards from July 1, 2021; and (c) all diesel driven heavy-duty vehicles are required to comply with the National VI(b) emission standards from July 1, 2023. In December 2020, MEE announced the approval of Tier-4 emission standard and any off-road machinery (below 560 kW) that does not comply with the Tier-4 emission standard is prohibited for production, import and selling in China from December 1, 2022.

We are subject to Chinese national and local environmental protection regulations which currently impose fees for the discharge of waste substances, require the payment of fines for pollution, and provide for the closure by the Chinese government of any facility that fails to comply with orders requiring us to cease or improve upon certain activities causing environmental damage. Due to the nature of our business, we produce certain amounts of waste water, gas, and solid waste materials during the course of our production. Yuchai has set up a sewage disposal system that meets national environmental discharge standards to process polluted water generated during production. In accordance with applicable regulations, sewage processing data and results of sewage treatment will be uploaded in real time to an online platform operated by the Ecology and Environment Department of the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region. Polluted water will only be discharged upon confirmation that it meets the national standards. Yuchai delivers solid waste products to qualified third-party waste disposal sites to dispose and makes payments in respect thereof. For those recyclable waste such as foundry sand, third-party disposal sites with qualification would be engaged for recycling treatment to reduce waste of resources. In addition, Yuchai has also built treatment and filter systems for dust, fumes, panting and noise, respectively, to reduce the pollution resulting from Yuchai’s production. We believe our environmental protection facilities and systems are adequate for us to comply with the existing national, provincial and local environmental protection regulations. However, Chinese national, provincial or local authorities may impose additional or more stringent regulations which would require additional expenditure on environmental matters or changes in our processes or systems. See “Item 3. Key Information — Risk Factors — Risks relating to our company and our business — We may be adversely affected by environmental regulations.”

ITEM 4A. UNRESOLVED STAFF COMMENTS

As of the date of filing of this Annual Report, we have no unresolved comments from the SEC.

ITEM 5. OPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEW AND PROSPECTS

The following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the related notes included elsewhere in this Annual Report. This discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results may differ significantly from those projected in the forward-looking statements. Factors that might cause future results to differ significantly from those projected in the forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, those discussed below and elsewhere in this Annual Report. Our consolidated financial statements and the financial information discussed below have been prepared in accordance with IFRS.

During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2018, 2019 and 2020, our main business has been our 76.4% ownership interest in Yuchai. As a result, our financial condition and results of operations have depended primarily upon Yuchai’s financial condition and results of operations.

Overview

In 2020, our engine unit sales were 430,320 units compared with 376,148 units in 2019. Our truck engine unit sales increased by 17.6% in 2020 compared to 2019, led by a double digit growth in both heavy-duty truck engines and medium-duty truck engines sales. Higher engine sales were mainly due to higher economic activity in the second half of 2020 in response to the aggressive growth policies executed by the central government in China, the pre-purchase of engines compliant with the less stringent National V emission standards before the stricter National VI emission standard is implemented nationwide in 2021, and greater enforcement of anti-overloading regulations. In addition, we captured greater market share in the medium-duty truck engines segment in 2020. Our total off-road engine sales grew by 32.0% in 2020 compared to 2019, led by a large increase in unit sales to the agriculture market. Yuchai’s YCK13 diesel engine model won the first prize in the “2020 China International Truck Fuel Saving Competition”.

During 2017, as the Chinese government heavily promoted the ‘One Belt One Road’ initiative, our international business achieved growth in 2017 with over 12,000 engines shipped and installed in the Chinese buses that entered into the global market, and natural gas engine export sales grew 300% year-on-year. We received the prestigious “China’s Export Quality and Safety Demonstration Enterprise” award by the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine. This award is the credit rating and honor for Chinese companies that sell their products internationally. In 2018, we continued to increase our international bus engines sales, and during the year 800 buses manufactured by Anhui Ankai Automobile Co., Ltd. and powered by Yuchai engines were exported to Saudi Arabia. In 2019, our export sales were 52,700 units, representing growth of 14% compared to 2018. In 2020, our export sales were 28,100 units, representing a decline of 46.7% compared to 2019, as the COVID-19 pandemic substantially reduced economic activity and the demand for commercial vehicles in various overseas markets throughout the year. We believe that international demand for our engines will rebound once the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic subsides around the world. Mass vaccinations are already underway to help curtail the future spread of COVID-19.

The pace of economic growth in China has decelerated in the recent years, with GDP declining from 6.6% in 2018 to 6.1% in 2019 and 2.3% in 2020, according to China’s National Bureau of Statistics. GDP growth in 2020 was restrained due to national lockdowns and travel restrictions in the early part of the year due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In the fourth quarter of 2020, the Chinese economy had rebounded, with GDP growing at a 6.5% rate compared to the fourth quarter of 2019.

The Chinese commercial vehicle market is a highly competitive market. According to CAAM, in 2018, commercial vehicle sales (excluding gasoline-powered and electric-powered vehicles) were 3.1 million units, being flat compared with 2017. The truck market decreased by 1.3%, mainly attributed to a 22.3% decline in the medium-duty segment, which was partially offset by the growth of 2.7% in the heavy-duty segment. The bus market continued to weaken in 2018, resulting in a 5.3% decline in bus sales compared to 2017. In 2019, commercial vehicle sales (excluding gasoline-powered and electric-powered vehicles) were 2.9 million units, a decrease of 4.5% compared with 2018. The truck market decreased by 4.7%, mainly attributed to a 21.7% decline in the medium-duty segment, which was partially offset by the 2.1% growth in the heavy-duty segment. The bus market continued to weaken in 2019, resulting in a 2.6% decline in bus sales compared to 2018. In 2020, commercial vehicle sales (excluding gasoline-powered and electric-powered vehicles) were 3.6 million units, an increase of 23.8% compared with 2019. The truck market increased by 27.5% year-on-year, attributed to growth in all segments, a 38.2% increase in the heavy-duty truck segment, a 19.4% increase in the light-duty segment and a 14.2% increase in the medium-duty truck segment. The bus market continued to weaken in 2020, resulting in a 7.7% decline in bus sales compared to 2019.

The shift to more stringent emission standards in China presents a growth opportunity for us. In terms of National VI and Tier-4 emission standards development, we had introduced 14 new on-road engines compliant with National VI emission standards in January 2018 and another 10 new off-road engines compliant with Tier-4 emission standards in October 2018. In addition, in October 2018, Yuchai’s K08 model engine passed the China emission National VI(b) certification test. By the end of 2020, Yuchai had a portfolio of engines that was National VI(b) emission standards compliant, even though such emission standards are not scheduled for implementation until July 2023. Part of our growth strategy is to be among the very first companies with engines that meet or exceed these new emission standards.

In 2018, our engine sales increased by 2.4% to 375,731 units compared with 2017, which was primarily due to an increase in off-road engine sales. Our revenue increased by 0.4% to RMB 16.3 billion. In 2019, our engine sales increased by 0.1% to 376,148 units compared with 2018, which was primarily due to an increase in off-road engine sales. Our revenue increased by 10.8% to RMB 18.0 billion. In 2020, our engine sales increased by 14.4% to 430,320 units compared to 2019, which was mainly due to higher engine sales in the heavy- and medium-duty truck markets and off-road segments, particularly agricultural engines. The increase in these markets more than offset the unit sales decline in the bus segment. Our light-duty engine sales, as a percentage of total unit sales, decreased from 28.4% in 2018 to 28.1% in 2019 and to 26.8% in 2020, which reflects our shift in recent years towards the heavy- and medium-duty and off-road engine segments. Our revenue increased by 14.2% to RMB 20.6 billion (US$3.2 billion).

Our gross profit margin was 19.0% in 2018, 17.2% in 2019 and 15.5% in 2020, respectively. The decline in 2020 was primarily due to the change in sales mix and higher material costs related to the National VI engines.

As a result, our profit attributable to equity holders was RMB 695.3 million, RMB 604.9 million and RMB 548.9 million (US$84.8 million) for the year 2018, 2019 and 2020, respectively.

The Chinese government’s focus on developing the NEV industry to curb air pollution has tapered in recent years after various incentives and infrastructure investments were introduced to encourage purchases of electric-powered vehicles. Beginning in December 2016, the government gradually reduced subsidies for NEVs and has substantially reduced financial assistance by 2020, replacing such assistance with fiscal rewards for qualified companies, while continuing to invest in the charging stations network to support the growing number of NEVs on the road. On February 12, 2018, the Ministry of Finance, MIIT, Ministry of Science and Technology and National Development and Reform Commission jointly issued a notice to reduce the financial subsidies for the promotion of NEVs with effect from June 11, 2018. As a result, sales of electric-powered vehicles decreased by approximately 25.0% in 2019 to 139,860 units from 186,377 units in 2018. In 2020, sales of electric-powered vehicles decreased by approximately 20.8% to 110,787 units from 139,860 units in 2019, partially reflecting the weak automotive market due to the COVID-19 pandemic in the early months of 2020.

Uncertainty and adverse changes in the global and Chinese economies could increase the costs associated with the development of our products, increase the cost and decrease the availability of potential sources of financing, and increase our exposure to material losses from our investments. In addition, any changes in tax legislation in China or adverse findings from the tax authorities could have a material impact on the consolidated financial conditions or results of operations. Our main operating subsidiary, Yuchai, enjoys a preferential corporate tax rate of 15%. See “Item 10. Additional Information-Taxation” for further details. In the event Yuchai fails to enjoy this preferential tax rate, it will be subject to corporate tax of 25%.

COVID-19 Outbreak: Response and Impact

Since December 2019, an outbreak of a novel strain of coronavirus (COVID-19) spread rapidly in China and globally. In response to intensifying efforts to contain the spread of COVID-19, the Chinese government took a number of actions, which included extending the Chinese New Year holiday, quarantining individuals infected with or suspected of having contracted COVID-19, prohibiting residents from free travel, encouraging employees of enterprises to work remotely from home and cancelling public activities, among others. The COVID-19 resulted in temporary closure of many manufacturing facilities and factories across China. Although COVID-19 has been largely controlled in China, there have been occasional outbreaks in several cities. To the extent we have production or manufacturing activities based in these locations, or our suppliers are located in these locations, we are susceptible to factors adversely affecting one or more of these locations as a result of COVID-19.

In accordance with government guidance, Yuchai took preventative measures, such as increased sanitization and disinfecting in the workplace and production workshop, distancing in the dining hall, wearing of masks and temperature taking before entering the workplace, remote working and meetings etc. Yuchai also took various cost and cash flow mitigation measures to counter the negative impact of COVID-19, such as reducing or eliminating discretionary spending in certain areas such as marketing, non-essential training or capital expenditures and streamlining of staffing.

The Chinese government has announced a range of relief policy measures to support companies in China amid the COVID-19 pandemic. These include deferred tax payments, reducing rent, waiving administrative fees, subsidizing research and development costs, social insurance subsidies, and lowering lending rates. These measures have partially offset the adverse impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on Yuchai’s operations.

Yuchai’s operations and those of its suppliers are predominantly based in China and therefore have been adversely affected by the foregoing measures and recovery is ongoing. The market outlook for automobile industry sales remains volatile, national and global economic growth has slowed and the liquidity and financial conditions of some of our customers may have weakened. Yuchai has experienced and may continue to experience increased supply lead times, supply disruptions, reduced manufacturing capacity and limited transport and shipping options from and to affected regions. Relaxation of restrictions on economic and social activities may also lead to new cases which may lead to re-imposed restrictions. We cannot assure you that the COVID-19 pandemic can be eliminated or contained in the near future, or at all, or a resurgence or similar outbreak will not occur again.

Due to the Chinese government’s effective containment measures of COVID-19 and our employees’ tireless efforts during this period, Yuchai has observed a recovery in its operations. Yuchai resumed operations in mid-February 2020 at a relatively small scale due to the shortage of engine components and materials as a result of continuing supply chain disruptions. For 2020, full year capacity utilization rate has recovered to 67.2%. In light of the uncertainties in the global market and economic conditions attributable to the COVID-19 pandemic, we will continue to evaluate the nature and extent of the impact of COVID-19 to our financial condition and liquidity. The COVID-19 pandemic is ongoing and its dynamic nature makes it difficult to forecast the pandemic’s effects on the results of our operations for 2021 and in subsequent years. See also “Item 3. Key Information — Risk Factors — Risks Relating to China — Outbreaks of communicable diseases in various parts of China and other countries may materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations”.

Business Expansion and Diversification Plan

Following the implementation of our business expansion and diversification plan as approved by our Board of Directors in 2005, we looked for new business opportunities to reduce our financial dependence on Yuchai and invested in the following companies:

Thakral Corporation Ltd

• |  | The first step in implementing this plan occurred in March 2005 when through VDL, we acquired a 15.0% equity interest in TCL. As of December 2009, our equity interest in TCL was 34.4%.

44

##### Table of Contents

• |  | Since fiscal year 2010, we have gradually reduced our equity interest in TCL with our total shareholding interest in TCL being 2.33% as of December 31, 2020 and 2.02% as of February 28, 2021. We would consider disposing our remaining shareholding in TCL in due course.

• |  | The TCL group invests directly or with co-investors in real estate and other investment opportunities which include property-backed financial instruments.

HL Global Enterprises Limited

• |  | The second step in the implementation of our business expansion and diversification plan occurred in February 2006 when we acquired a 29.1% equity interest in HLGE and certain convertible preference and debt securities through two wholly-owned subsidiaries for an aggregate consideration of approximately S$132.0 million. As of December 31, 2020, our equity interest in HLGE was 48.9%. As of February 28, 2021, our equity interest in HLGE remained unchanged.

Critical Accounting Policies

The accounting policies adopted by us are described in Note 2 of our consolidated financial statements in Item 18. The preparation of financial statements in accordance with IFRS requires our management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions regarding uncertainties that affect the reported amounts of our assets and liabilities, disclosures of contingent liabilities and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses.

Certain of our accounting policies are particularly important to the portrayal of our financial position and results of operations and require the application of significant judgment, assumptions and estimates by our management. We refer to these accounting policies as our “critical accounting policies”. Our management uses our historical experience and analyses, the terms of existing contracts, historical cost convention, industry trends, information provided by our agents and information available from other outside sources, as appropriate, when forming our judgment, assumptions and estimates. However, this task is inexact because our management is making judgment, assumptions and providing estimates on matters that are inherently uncertain. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates its estimates. Actual results may differ from those estimates under different assumptions and conditions.

While we believe that all aspects of our consolidated financial statements should be studied and understood in assessing our current expected financial condition and results, we believe that the following critical accounting policies involve a higher degree of judgment, estimation and therefore warrant additional attention:

• |  | identifying contract price and performance obligations in sales of engines;

• |  | development costs;

• |  | realization of deferred tax;

• |  | impairment of non-financial assets; and

• |  | derecognition of bills receivable.

Identifying contract price and performance obligations in sales of engines

We provide certain warranties for both general repairs and maintenance service as part of the sales of engines. For general repairs, such warranties are assurance-type warranties that are accounted for under IAS 37 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets. Maintenance services are accounted for as service-type warranties that are distinguishable from other services and that allow customers to benefit from the service on its own. Hence, we have two separate performance obligations: one is the promise to transfer the engine and the other is to provide maintenance services after reaching certain on-road mileage or running hours. Consequently, we allocated a portion of the transaction price to the engines and the maintenance services based on relative stand-alone selling prices that are determined by a combination of expected cost plus a margin and residual approaches.

Development costs

Development costs on an individual project are recognized as an intangible asset when we can demonstrate:

• |  | the technical feasibility of completing the intangible asset so that the asset will be available for use or sale;

• |  | our intention to complete and its ability to use or sell the asset;

• |  | how the asset will generate future economic benefits;

• |  | the availability of resources to complete the asset; and

• |  | the ability to measure reliably the expenditure during development.

45

##### Table of Contents

Initial capitalization of costs is based on management’s judgment that technological and economic feasibility is confirmed, usually when a product development project has reached a defined milestone according to an established project management model.

Realization of deferred tax

Deferred tax is recognized using the liability method, providing for temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes. Deferred tax is not recognized for the following temporary differences: the initial recognition of goodwill, the initial recognition of assets or liabilities in a transaction that is not a business combination and that affects neither accounting nor taxable profit, and differences relating to investments in subsidiaries and joint ventures to the extent that it is probable that they will not reverse in the foreseeable future. Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates that are expected to be applied to the temporary differences when they reverse, based on the laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset if there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax liabilities and assets and they relate to income taxes levied by the same tax authority on the same taxable entity, or on different tax entities, but they intend to settle current tax liabilities and assets on a net basis or their tax assets and liabilities will be realized simultaneously.

A deferred tax asset is recognized to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which temporary differences can be utilized. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realized. Significant management judgment is required to determine the amount of deferred tax assets that can be recognized, based upon the likely timing and the level of future taxable profits together with future tax planning strategies.

Deferred tax relating to items recognized outside profit or loss is recognized in correlation to the underlying transaction either in other comprehensive income or directly in equity.

Any changes in tax legislations in China or adverse findings from the tax examination could have a material impact on our consolidated financial conditions or results of operations.

Impairment of non-financial assets

Impairment exists when the carrying value of an asset or cash-generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount, which is the higher of its fair value less costs of disposal and its value in use. The fair value less costs of disposal calculation is based on available data from binding sales transactions, conducted at arm’s length, for similar assets or observable market prices less incremental costs for disposing of the asset. The value in use calculation is based on a discounted cash flow (“DCF”) model. The cash flows are derived from the forecasts for the next 8 to ten years and do not include restructuring activities that the Group is not yet committed to or significant future investments that will enhance the asset’s performance of the cash-generating unit (“CGU”) being tested. The Group, based on its history of operations, believes that the adoption of forecast for more than five years is reasonable. The recoverable amount is sensitive to the discount rate used for the DCF model as well as the expected future cash-inflows and the growth rate used for extrapolation purposes. The key assumptions used to determine the recoverable amount for the different CGUs and assets, including a sensitivity analysis, are disclosed and further explained in Note 12 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements in Item 18.

The Group’s intangible assets comprised of technology know-how, development costs, trademarks and goodwill. Excluding goodwill, the carrying amounts of intangible assets as of December 31, 2018, 2019 and 2020 are RMB 206.0 million, RMB 741.5 million and RMB 1,271.3 million (US$196.5 million), respectively. We periodically conduct an impairment evaluation on the conditions of our intangible assets. As of December 31, 2020, we recorded an accumulated impairment loss of RMB 126.7 million (US$19.6 million) related to 4Y20 engine platform technology development costs held by Jining Yuchai. In 2018, the development for 4Y20 engine platform was completed and the technical development costs with a carrying amount of RMB 10.1 million as at December 31, 2017 was recognized as Group’s technology know-how. In 2018, Jining Yuchai commenced the production of 4Y20 engines and in 2019 Jining Yuchai produced 10,836 units of light-duty engine including 2,000 units of YC4Y engine for the truck and bus markets. Since 2019, production volume has gradually ramped up to meet market demand and our management believes that there is no indication for further impairment in 2019 and 2020. Management has also considered that there is no significant change in the market that will have a favorable effect on the recoverable amount of this intangible asset and concluded that there is no reversal of impairment to be recognized in 2019 and 2020.

Since 2018, we capitalized development costs for new engines that comply with the National VI and Tier-4 emission standards in accordance with IFRS. We have capitalized RMB 195.9 million in 2018, RMB 366.7 million in 2019 and RMB 530.8 million (US$82.0 million) in 2020. As of December 31, 2020, our total accumulated capitalized development costs were RMB1,093.4 million (US$169.0 million). Since these development costs relate to on-going development efforts and the engines have not yet been made available for use, no amortization charges were recorded. In 2018, 2019 and 2020, we performed an impairment evaluation of those development costs and no impairment charge was recognized.

##### Table of Contents

In 2019, Yuchai entered into a trademark license agreement with the GY Group under which Yuchai was granted an exclusive and perpetual license to use the thirty trademarks listed in the trademark license agreement for a one-time usage fee of RMB 169.8 million. In 2019 and 2020, management performed an impairment review and concluded that no impairment charge was to be recognized. See Note 12 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements in Item 18.

The carrying amounts of goodwill as of December 31, 2018, 2019 and 2020 were RMB 212.6 million, RMB 212.6 million and RMB 212.6 million (US$32.9 million), respectively. We periodically conduct an impairment evaluation on the goodwill. No impairment was made for 2018, 2019 and 2020.

Our market capitalization as of December 31, 2018, 2019 and 2020 based on our closing share price was lower than our consolidated net assets. We performed our annual goodwill impairment tests at each financial year-end, and did not incur any impairment charge. We will continue to monitor the relationship of fair value to the recorded value of our consolidated net assets as economic events and changes to our stock price occur, and we may perform interim impairment tests in the future. If future results are not consistent with our assumptions and estimates and there continues to be decline in our market capitalization, we may be required to record impairment charges at a later date, which could materially and adversely affect our financial results.

Derecognition of bills receivable

We sell bills receivable to banks on an ongoing basis depending on funding needs and money market conditions. While the buyer is responsible for servicing the receivables upon maturity of the bills receivable, Chinese law governing bills allows recourse to be traced to all the parties in the discounting process. In relation to the de-recognition of bills receivable when discounted, the management believes that the contractual right to receive the cash flows from the asset have transferred to the banks. Accordingly, bills receivable is derecognized, and a discount equal to the difference between the carrying value of the bills receivable and cash received is recorded in the statement of profit or loss. Please refer to Note 15 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements in Item 18.

2020 compared to 2019

Revenue for 2020 was RMB 20,581.2 million (US$3,180.4 million) compared with RMB 18,016.1 million in 2019, an increase of 14.2%. The total number of diesel engines sold by Yuchai in 2020 was 430,320 units compared with 376,148 units in 2019, representing an increase of 54,172 units, or 14.4%, primarily attributed to higher engine sales in the heavy- and medium-duty truck markets and off-road segments, particularly agricultural engines, which more than offset the unit sales decline in the bus segment. According to CAAM, sales of commercial vehicles (excluding gasoline-powered and electric-powered vehicles) increased by 23.8% in 2020, the overall truck market increased by 27.5% and the bus market decreased by 7.7%.

Cost of sales was RMB 17,391.6 million (US$2,687.5 million) in 2020, an increase of 16.6% from RMB 14,910.2 million in 2019, primarily due to higher cost of materials and factory overheads related to the production of National VI engines. Cost of sales represented 84.5% and 82.8% of revenue in 2020 and 2019, respectively. Cost of materials consumed was RMB 15,501.8 million (US$2,395.5 million) in 2020, an increase of 17.7% from RMB 13,167.2 million in 2019. This was 75.3% of revenue in 2020 compared to 73.1% in 2019. Factory overheads (excluding depreciation) were RMB 914.4 million (US$141.3 million) in 2020, representing an increase of 3.2% from RMB 885.8 million in 2019. This represented 4.4% of revenue for 2020 and 4.9% for 2019. Depreciation was RMB 326.9 million (US$50.5 million) in 2020, an increase of 4.0% from RMB 314.4 million in 2019. Depreciation for 2020 was 1.6% of revenue compared to 1.7% in 2019.

Gross profit was RMB 3,189.6 million (US$492.9 million) in 2020, an increase of 2.7% from RMB 3,105.8 million in 2019. The gross profit margin was 15.5% in 2020 compared with 17.2% in 2019. The 2020 gross margin was lower primarily due to the changes in sales mix as well as the higher material costs related to the production of National VI engines.

Other operating income, net was RMB 378.9 million (US$58.6 million) in 2020, an increase of 12.0% from RMB 338.5 million in 2019. The increase was mainly due to higher government grants.

R&D expenses increased by 27.3% to RMB 626.5 million (US$96.8 million) compared with RMB 492.2 million in 2019. R&D expenses were mainly for research and development of a portfolio of new engines compliant with the next-generation National VI and Tier-4 emission standards, and to improve engine performance and quality. In 2020, total R&D expenditures including capitalized costs were RMB 1,157.3 million (US$178.8 million), representing 5.6% of revenue in 2020, compared with RMB 859.0 million, representing 4.8% of revenue in 2019.

SG&A expenses were RMB 1,760.0 million (US$272.0 million) in 2020 compared with RMB 1,806.0 million in 2019, a decrease of 2.5%. These expenses represented 8.6% of revenue compared with 10.0% in 2019. The decrease in SG&A expenses was primarily due to net reversal of provision for doubtful debt and lower warranty expenses compared with the same period last year.

As a result, operating profit increased by 3.1% to RMB 1,182.0 million (US$182.7 million) in 2020 from RMB 1,146.1 million in 2019. Operating margin was 5.7% in 2020 compared with 6.4% in 2019.

Finance costs increased by 14.7% to RMB 151.2 million (US$23.4 million) in 2020 from RMB 131.8 million in 2019. Higher finance costs mainly resulted from an increase in loan amounts in 2020 compared with 2019.

The share of financial results of associates and joint ventures decreased to a loss of RMB 59.0 million (US$9.1 million) in 2020 as compared with a profit of RMB 19.0 million in 2019.

Profit before tax was RMB 971.9 million (US$150.2 million) in 2020 compared with RMB 1,033.3 million in 2019.

Income tax expense in 2020 was RMB 192.5 million (US$29.8 million) compared with RMB 172.6 million in 2019. Our effective tax rates were 19.8% and 16.7% for 2020 and 2019, respectively.

As a result of the foregoing factors, profit for the year was RMB 779.3 million (US$120.4 million) in 2020 compared with RMB 860.7 million in 2019, representing a decrease of 9.5%.

Net profit attributable to our shareholders decreased by 9.3% to RMB 548.9 million (US$84.8 million) compared with RMB 604.9 million in 2019.

2019 compared to 2018

Revenue for 2019 was RMB 18,016.1 million compared with RMB 16,263.2 million in 2018, an increase of 10.8%. The total number of diesel engines sold by Yuchai in 2019 was 376,148 units compared with 375,731 units in 2018, representing an increase of 417 units, or 0.1%, primarily attributed to increased unit sales in the off-road engine segment, particularly in the industrial machinery market, which was partially offset by the decline in the truck and bus segments. Revenue increased in 2019 as compared to 2018 primarily due a change in sales mix as we sold more larger-capacity engines that generate higher revenue. According to CAAM, sales of commercial vehicles (excluding gasoline-powered and electric-powered vehicles) decreased by 4.5% in 2019, the overall truck market decreased by 4.7% and the bus market decreased by 2.6%. Our sales increased despite these market trends due primarily to a 9.3% increase in off-road engine sales, particularly in the industrial machinery market, which was partially offset by a 10.1% decrease in bus engine sales.

Cost of sales was RMB 14,910.2 million in 2019, an increase of 13.2% from RMB 13,171.2 million in 2018 primarily due to higher cost of materials and factory overheads related to production of the National VI engines. Cost of sales represented 82.8% and 81.0% of revenue in 2019 and 2018, respectively. Cost of materials consumed was RMB 13,167.2 million in 2019, an increase of 14.8% from RMB 11,472.0 million in 2018. This was 73.1% of revenue in 2019 compared to 70.5% in 2018. Factory overheads (excluding depreciation) were RMB 885.8 million in 2019, representing an increase of 12.1% from RMB 790.1 million in 2018. This represented 4.9% of revenue for 2019 and 2018, respectively. Depreciation was RMB 314.4 million in 2019, an increase of 0.5% from RMB 312.8 million in 2018. Depreciation for 2019 was 1.7% of revenue compared to 1.9% in 2018.

##### Table of Contents

Gross profit was RMB 3,105.8 million in 2019, an increase of 0.4% from RMB 3,092.0 million in 2018. The gross profit margin was 17.2% in 2019 compared with 19.0% in 2018. The 2019 gross margin was lower primarily due to the changes in product mix as well as the higher production costs related to the National VI engines in 2019.

Other operating income, net was RMB 338.5 million in 2019, an increase of 75.7% from RMB 192.7 million in 2018. The increase was mainly due to higher interest income and government grants.

R&D expenses increased by 9.9% to RMB 492.2 million compared with RMB 447.7 million in 2018. R&D expenses were mainly for research and development of a portfolio of new engines compliant with the next-generation National VI and Tier-4 emission standards, and to enhance quality and performance. In 2019, total R&D expenditures including capitalized costs were RMB 859.0 million, representing 4.8% of revenue in 2019, compared with RMB 643.5 million, representing 4.0% of revenue in 2018.

SG&A expenses were RMB 1,806.0 million in 2019 compared with RMB 1,554.5 million in 2018, an increase of 16.2%. These expenses represented 10.0% of revenue compared with 9.6% in 2018. The increase in SG&A expenses was primarily due to higher warranty expenses and higher impairment losses on trade receivables.

As a result, operating profit decreased by 10.6% to RMB 1,146.1 million in 2019 from RMB 1,282.5 million in 2018. Operating margin was 6.4% in 2019 compared with 7.9% in 2018.

Finance costs increased by 16.5% to RMB 131.8 million in 2019 from RMB 113.1 million in 2018. Higher finance costs mainly resulted from higher amounts of bank borrowing and trade bills discounted in 2019 compared with 2018.

The share of associates and joint ventures was a profit of RMB 19.0 million in 2019 as compared with a profit of RMB 11.6 million in 2018, representing an increase of 63.6%.

Profit before tax was RMB 1,033.3 million in 2019 compared with RMB 1,181.1 million in 2018.

Income tax expense in 2019 was RMB 172.6 million compared with RMB 206.7 million in 2018. Our effective tax rates were 16.7% and 17.5% for 2019 and 2018, respectively.

As a result of the foregoing factors, profit for the year was RMB 860.7 million in 2019 compared with RMB 974.4 million in 2018, representing a decrease of 11.7%.

Net profit attributable to our shareholders decreased by 21.8% to RMB 604.9 million compared with RMB 695.3 million in 2018.

Inflation

The general annual inflation rate in China decreased to 2.5% in 2020 from 2.9% in 2019, according to the National Bureau of Statistics. The results of our operations may be affected by inflation, particularly rising prices for parts and components, labor costs, raw materials and other operating costs. See “Item 3. Key Information — Risk Factors — Risks relating to our company and our business — If China’s inflation increases or the prices of energy or raw materials increase, we may not be able to pass the resulting increased costs to our customers and this may adversely affect our profitability or cause us to suffer operating losses.”

Seasonality

Yuchai’s results of operations in the first and second quarters of calendar years are generally marginally higher than in the third and fourth quarters of the corresponding year, due to slightly better production and sales performance in the first half compared to the second half of such calendar years. However, any change in economic or market conditions may affect this pattern as it has occurred in the past. As a result, cash generated from operations may also be subject to some seasonal variation. See also “Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects — Liquidity and Capital Resources.”

##### Table of Contents

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our primary sources of cash are funds from operations generated by Yuchai, as well as debt financing obtained by us. Our revenues are substantially generated by Yuchai and its subsidiaries, our Chinese operating companies, and are denominated in Renminbi. The Renminbi is currently freely convertible under the “current account” which includes dividends, trade and service related foreign exchange transactions; however, it is not currently freely convertible under the “capital account” which includes, among other things, foreign direct investment and overseas borrowings by Chinese entities. Some of the conversions between Renminbi and foreign currency under the capital account are subject to the prior approval of SAFE. As a result, there is no material restriction on the ability of the Chinese subsidiaries to transfer funds to Yuchai. However, certain funds transfers from Yuchai to us may be subject to the approval of SAFE. The General Affairs Department of SAFE promulgated circulars in August 2008 and July 2011, pursuant to which, Renminbi converted from capital contribution in foreign currency to a domestic enterprise in China can only be used for the activities that are within the approved business scope of such enterprise and cannot be used for China domestic equity investment, acquisition, giving entrusted loans or repayment of intercompany loans, with limited exceptions. On March 30, 2015, SAFE issued a notice to take effect from June 1, 2015 loosening the explicit prohibition against the use of Renminbi converted from capital contribution in foreign currency for domestic equity investment as set out in its circulars of August 2008 and July 2011. On June 9, 2016, SAFE issued a notice which became effective on the same day further allowing the use of Renminbi converted from capital contribution in foreign currency to be used for providing loans to affiliated enterprises of foreign invested enterprises. As the new policies have recently been implemented, its full applicability to a foreign-invested enterprise is currently uncertain. See “Risk Factors — Risks relating to China — We may not freely convert Renminbi into foreign currency, which could limit our ability to obtain sufficient foreign currency to satisfy our foreign currency requirements or to pay dividends to shareholders.”

Our primary cash requirements are for working capital, capital expenditures to complete the expansion of production capacity, dividend payments and other operational requirements. We believe that our sources of liquidity are sufficient for our operational and working capital requirements over the next twelve months from the date of this Annual Report. However, under the current market conditions there can be no assurance that our business activity will be maintained at the expected level to generate the anticipated cash flows from operating activities. If the current market conditions deteriorate, we may experience a decrease in demand for our products, resulting in our cash flows from operating activities being lower than anticipated. If our cash flows from operations are lower than anticipated, we may need to obtain additional financing which may not be available on favorable terms, or at all. Other factors which may affect our ability to generate funds from operations include increased competition, fluctuations in customer demand for our products, our ability to collect and control our level of accounts receivable, the status of our investment in Yuchai under Chinese law and the implementation of the Reorganization Agreement and the Cooperation Agreement. See “Item 4. Information on the Company — History and Development — Reorganization Agreement.”

Our cash and cash equivalents are held in Renminbi, Singapore dollar, US dollar and Euro in accounts managed by third party financial institutions. While we monitor the cash balances in our operating accounts and adjust the cash balances as appropriate, these cash balances could be impacted if the underlying financial institutions fail or could be subjected to other adverse conditions in the financial markets. As of the date of this filing, we have experienced no loss or lack of access to cash in our operating accounts.

As of December 31, 2020, we had approximately RMB 6,447.5 million (US$996.3 million) in cash and bank balances on a consolidated basis. We believe that if we are considered on a stand-alone basis without our investment in Yuchai, we would find it difficult to raise new capital (either debt or equity) on our own.

As of December 31, 2020, we had outstanding borrowings of RMB 2,230.0 million (US$344.6 million), all incurred by Yuchai.

We expect that cash generated from operations should provide us with sufficient financial flexibility to satisfy future bank obligations, capital expenditures and projected working capital requirements. However, at certain times, cash generated from operations is subject to seasonal fluctuations. As our business continues to grow, we will also require additional funds for increased working capital requirements and to finance increased trade accounts receivable. We expect to fund our working capital and trade accounts receivable requirements primarily from funds from operations generated by Yuchai and, to the extent that is insufficient, from bank borrowings, issuance of short-term financing bonds (“STFBs”), medium-term notes (“MTNs”), ultra short-term bonds (“USTB”), discounting of bills receivable, accounts receivable factoring or other financing activities by Yuchai.

Yuchai has established banking relationships with a number of domestic Chinese banks, each of which will review Yuchai’s loan applications on a case-by-case basis. In addition, CYI also has obtained credit facilities from certain banks in Singapore.

The securities issued by Yuchai since 2013 are as follows:

• |  | On May 28, 2013, upon the receipt of approval from its board of directors, shareholders and NAFMII to issue MTNs amounting to RMB 1.6 billion with a term of three years, Yuchai issued the first tranche of the MTNs amounting to RMB 1 billion. The MTNs bore a fixed annual interest rate of 4.69% and upon maturity on May 30, 2016, were fully repaid. All the proceeds from the issuance of the MTNs were used by Yuchai as working capital.

• |  | On April 8, 2015, upon the receipt of approval from its board of directors, shareholders and NAFMII to issue USTBs amounting to RMB 2 billion with a term not exceeding 270 days, Yuchai issued the first tranche of the USTB amounting to RMB 400 million. The first tranche of the USTBs bore a fixed annual interest rate of 4.9% and upon maturity on May 9, 2015, were fully repaid. All the proceeds from the issuance of the USTBs were used by Yuchai as working capital and repayment of loans. On September 16, 2015, Yuchai issued the second tranche of the USTB amounting to RMB 400 million. The second tranche of the USTBs bore a fixed annual interest rate of 3.9% and upon maturity on June 13, 2016 were fully repaid. All the proceeds from the issuance of the USTBs were used by Yuchai for the repayment of loans. NAFMII’s approval to issue USTB of RMB 2 billion was valid for two years commencing from February 28, 2015.

In addition, CYI has other credit facilities granted by banks in Singapore as follows:

• |  | On June 24, 2020, we entered into an agreement with Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation, Singapore Branch for the renewal of a US$30.0 million facility. The new unsecured multi-currency revolving credit facility has an uncommitted aggregate value of US$30.0 million and it has no expiry date. The maximum tenor of each drawdown under the facility is six months. The facility may be used to finance our general working capital requirements. The terms of the facility require, among other things, that Hong Leong Asia retained ownership of the special share and that we remain a subsidiary (as defined in the facility agreement) of Hong Leong Asia. The terms of the facility also include certain financial covenants with respect to our consolidated tangible net worth (as defined in the agreement) as of June 30 and December 31 of each year not being less than US$200 million and the ratio of our consolidated total net debt (as defined in the agreement) to consolidated tangible net worth as of June 30 and December 31 of each year not exceeding 2.0 times, as well as negative pledge provisions and customary drawdown requirements.

• |  | On June 10, 2020, we entered an agreement with MUFG Bank Ltd, Singapore Branch to refinance a S$30.0 million uncommitted and unsecured multi-currency revolving credit facility. The facility has a three-year duration. The terms and conditions of this facility remains similar to the facility agreement dated March 30, 2017. The facility may be used to finance our general working capital requirements. Among other things, the terms of the facility require that Hong Leong Asia retains ownership of the special share and that we remain a subsidiary of Hong Leong Asia. The terms of the facility also include certain financial covenants with respect to our tangible net worth (as defined in the agreement) not being less than US$120 million at all times and the ratio of our total net debt (as defined in the agreement) to tangible net worth not exceeding 2.0 times at all times, as well as negative pledge provisions and customary drawdown requirements.

• |  | On June 1, 2018, we entered into a three-year revolving credit facility agreement with DBS Bank Ltd. of Singapore with an uncommitted aggregate value of S$30.0 million. Among other things, the terms of the facility require that (i) Hong Leong Asia retains ownership of the special share, at all times owns directly or indirectly at least 35% ownership of CYI and that CYI remains a consolidated subsidiary of Hong Leong Asia, (ii) CYI at all times owns directly or indirectly at least 76.4% ownership in Yuchai and (iii) HLGE remains listed on the Main Board of Singapore Exchange. The terms of the facility also include certain financial covenants with respect to our consolidated tangible net worth (as defined in the agreement) not being less than US$350 million, and the ratio of our consolidated total debt (as defined in the agreement) to consolidated tangible net worth not exceeding 1.0 times. This facility may be used to finance our general working capital requirements.

As of December 31, 2020, CYI’s (including Yuchai) unutilized facilities amounted to RMB 491.9 million (US$76.0 million).

We believe that should there be a need for further loans from banks, we can borrow additional amounts through our established banking relationships with a number of domestic Chinese or Singapore banks. We can also obtain financing by issuing bonds, issuing bills payable, discounting bills receivable, factoring accounts receivable or through other financing activities. However, such activities are subject to market conditions and there is no assurance that such additional activities would be successful.

The following table summarizes the key elements of our cash flows for the last three years:

|  | For Year ended December 31, |
|  | 2018 |  |  | 2019 |  |  | 2020 |  |  | 2020 |

In 2020, net cash from operating activities was an inflow of RMB 1,415.4 million (US$218.7 million). The inflow was mainly derived from profit before tax after adjustment of non-cash items of RMB 1,335.2 million (US$206.3 million) and a net inflow from working capital primarily attributed to increase in trade payables and contract liabilities, and partially offset by higher inventories compared to 2019 and cash payment for income tax of RMB 234.9 million (US$36.3 million). In 2019, net cash from operating activities was an inflow of RMB 1,583.0 million. The inflow was mainly derived from profit before tax after adjustment of non-cash items of RMB 1,351.0 million and an increase in working capital primarily comprising an increase in trade and other payables and a decrease in trade and other receivables compared to 2018, which was partially offset by a payment for income tax of RMB 233.1 million. In 2018, net cash from operating activities was an inflow of RMB 670.6 million. The inflow was mainly derived from profit before tax after adjustment of non-cash items of RMB 1,541.0 million, partially offset by the payment for income tax of RMB 190.7 million and a cash outflow primarily arising from an increase in trade and other receivables and a decrease in trade and other payables compared to 2017.

##### Table of Contents

In 2020, net cash used in investing activities was RMB 785.8 million (US$121.4 million). The outflow was mainly due to the purchase of property, plant and equipment of RMB 584.7 million (US$90.3 million) and spending on technology development of RMB 500.1 million (US$77.3 million), partially offset by proceeds from government grants of RMB 123.2 million (US$19.0 million) and interest received of RMB 171.6 million (US$26.5 million). In 2019, net cash used in investing activities was RMB 810.5 million. The outflow was mainly due to the purchase of property, plant and equipment of RMB 749.1 million and spending on technology development of RMB 345.1 million, partially offset by proceeds from government grants of RMB 191.5 million and interest received of RMB 173.7 million. In 2018, net cash used in investing activities was RMB 80.0 million. The outflow was mainly due to purchase of property, plant and equipment of RMB 407.7 million and spending on technology development of RMB 180.6 million, partially offset by proceeds from government grants of RMB 286.2 million and interest received of RMB 143.8 million.

In 2020, net cash used in financing activities was RMB 461.8 million (US$71.4 million). The outflow was mainly due to payment of dividend of RMB 451.4 million (US$69.8 million) and payment for finance costs of RMB 184.2 million (US$28.5 million), partially offset by net borrowings of RMB 173.7 million (US$26.8 million). In 2019, net cash used in financing activities was RMB 589.4 million. The outflow was mainly due to payment of dividend of RMB 441.9 million and payment of finance costs of RMB 139.1 million. In 2018, net cash used in financing activities was an outflow of RMB 449.5 million. The outflow was mainly due to payment of dividend of RMB 730.0 million and payment of finance costs of RMB 108.0 million, partially offset by net increase from bank borrowings of RMB 388.6 million.

In relation to cash management, it is our practice to consider various financing options so as to minimize financing costs. The cash generated from operations is used for working capital, capital expenditures, dividend payments and other operational requirements.

Our working capital as of December 31, 2020 was RMB 6,209.2 million (US$959.5 million) compared with RMB 6,173.2 million as of December 31, 2019.

As of December 31, 2020, we had loans and borrowings totaling RMB 2,230.0 million (US$344.6 million).

As part of our business strategy, we seek opportunities from time to time to invest in China domestic manufacturers of diesel engine parts and components, as well as in other related automotive businesses, including truck manufacturers, and insurance, warranty servicing and credit support for diesel engine customers. We may make such investments and acquisitions with funds provided by operations, future debt or equity financing or a combination thereof. The following table sets forth information on payments related to our material contractual obligations for the periods indicated as of December 31, 2020:

|  | Payments Due by Period |

Capital Expenditures

Our capital expenditures were RMB 586.5 million, RMB 1,263.4 million and RMB 1,055.0 million (US$163.0 million) in 2018, 2019 and 2020, respectively. In 2018, 2019 and 2020, these expenditures were used primarily for expanding and upgrading Yuchai’s production capacity in Yulin City, Guangxi, and for technology development for new engines. We funded these capital expenditures primarily from funds from operations generated by Yuchai and, to the extent that was insufficient, from bank loans and other financing activities by Yuchai.

52

##### Table of Contents

Capital expenditures for expanding and upgrading of existing production facilities are used to comply with the forthcoming new engine emission standards, improve production flow, improve safety measures, improve testing capability, improve environment control, increase warehousing capacity and other routine upgrading and replacement. Capital expenditures for building new facilities are part of Yuchai’s ongoing efforts to develop new products and improve the quality of existing products.

As our business continues to grow, we will also require additional funds for capital expenditures. As of December 31, 2020, we had committed capital expenditures for upgrading existing facilities and building new facilities in the amount of RMB 849.8 million (US$131.3 million). We expect to continue funding our capital expenditures primarily from funds from operations generated by Yuchai and, to the extent that is insufficient, from bank loans and other financing activities by Yuchai. Yuchai’s ability to obtain financing is limited by government regulation in China. Also, certain additional capital we contribute to Yuchai would require, among other things, the approval of the Ministry of Commerce which has broad discretion with respect to such approval.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of December 31, 2019 and 2020, in order to facilitate customer and supplier arrangements, Yuchai had issued irrevocable letter of credits of RMB 30.8 million and RMB 54.4 million (US$8.4 million), respectively. These were issued for purchase of production materials, machinery and equipment.

As of December 31, 2019 and 2020, outstanding bills receivable discounted with banks for which Yuchai had retained a recourse obligation amounted to RMB 2,268.4 million and RMB 2,225.1 million (US$343.8 million), respectively. These bills receivables were received from customers in settlement for their purchases. Yuchai discounted these bills receivables to fund its operations, as and when required.

As of December 31, 2019 and 2020, outstanding bills receivable endorsed to suppliers for which Yuchai had retained a recourse obligation amounted to RMB 1,120.3 million and RMB 1,834.5 million (US$283.5 million), respectively. The bills receivables received from customers can be endorsed to suppliers as a form of settlement of Yuchai’s purchase for production materials.

Management has assessed the fair value of the recourse obligation arising from these discounted bank bills and endorsed bank bills to be immaterial based on the Company’s default experience and the credit status of the issuing banks.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

The standards and interpretations that are issued, but not yet effective are disclosed below. We intend to adopt these standards, if applicable, when they are effective.

Amendments to IFRS 17 Insurance Contracts

In June 2020, the IASB issued Amendments to IFRS 17 Insurance Contracts (“IFRS 17”), a comprehensive new accounting standard for insurance contracts covering recognition and measurement, presentation and disclosure. Once effective, IFRS 17 will replace IFRS 4 Insurance Contracts (“IFRS 4”) that was issued in 2005. IFRS 17 applies to all types of insurance contracts (i.e., life, non-life, direct insurance and re-insurance), regardless of the type of entities that issue them, as well as to certain guarantees and financial instruments with discretionary participation features. A few scope exceptions will apply. The overall objective of IFRS 17 is to provide an accounting model for insurance contracts that is more useful and consistent for insurers. In contrast to the requirements in IFRS 4, which are largely based on grandfathering previous local accounting policies, IFRS 17 provides a comprehensive model for insurance contracts, covering all relevant accounting aspects. The core of IFRS 17 is the general model, supplemented by:

| • |  | A specific adaptation for contracts with direct participation features (the variable fee approach)

| • |  | A simplified approach (the premium allocation approach) mainly for short-duration contracts

IFRS 17 is effective for reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2023, with comparative figures required. Early application is permitted, provided the entity also applies IFRS 9 and IFRS 15 on or before the date it first applies IFRS 17. This standard is not applicable to us.

Interest Rate Benchmark Reform – Phase 2 – Amendments to IFRS 9, IAS 39, IFRS 7, IFRS 4 and IFRS 16

On August 27, 2020, the IASB published Interest Rate Benchmark Reform — Phase 2, Amendments to IFRS 9, IAS 39, IFRS 7, IFRS 4 and IFRS 16. With publication of the phase two amendments, the IASB has completed its work in response to IBOR reform.

The amendments provide temporary reliefs which address the financial reporting effects when an interbank offered rate (IBOR) is replaced with an alternative nearly risk-free interest rate (“RFR”).

53

##### Table of Contents

The amendments include a practical expedient to require contractual changes, or changes to cash flows that are directly required by the reform, to be treated as changes to a floating interest rate, equivalent to a movement in a market rate of interest. Inherent in allowing the use of this practical expedient is the requirement that the transition from an IBOR benchmark rate to an RFR takes place on an economically equivalent basis with no value transfer having occurred. The practical expedient is required for entities applying IFRS 4 that are using the exemption from IFRS 9 (and, therefore, apply IAS 39) and for IFRS 16 Leases, to lease modifications required by IBOR reform.

The amendments permit changes required by IBOR reform to be made to hedge designations and hedge documentation without the hedging relationship being discontinued. Permitted changes include redefining the hedged risk to reference an RFR and redefining the description of the hedging instruments and/or the hedged item to reflect the RFR. Entities are allowed until the end of the reporting period, during which a modification required by IBOR reform is made, to complete the changes.

The amendments provide temporary relief to entities from having to meet the separately identifiable requirement when an RFR instrument is designated as a hedge of a risk component. The relief allows entities upon designation of the hedge, to assume that separately identifiable requirement is met, provided the entity reasonably expects the RFR risk component to become separately identifiable within the next 24 months.

Additional disclosures

IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures includes the following:

| • |  | How the entity is managing the transition to RFRs, its progress and the risks to which it is exposed arising from financial instruments due to IBOR reform.

| • |  | Disaggregated by each significant IBOR benchmark, quantitative information about financial instruments that have yet to transition to RFRs

| • |  | If IBOR reform has given rise to changes in the entity’s risk management strategy, a description of these changes

The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2021 with earlier application permitted. While application is retrospective, an entity is not required to restate prior periods. The amendments are not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Amendments to IAS 1: Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-current

In January 2020, the IASB issued amendments to paragraphs 69 to 76 of IAS 1 to specify the requirements for classifying liabilities as current or non-current. The amendments clarify:

| • |  | What is meant by a right to defer settlement

| • |  | That a right to defer must exist at the end of the reporting period

| • |  | That classification is unaffected by the likelihood that an entity will exercise its deferral right

| • |  | That only if an embedded derivative in a convertible liability is itself an equity instrument would the terms of a liability not impact its classification

The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2023 and must be applied retrospectively. The Group is currently assessing the impact the amendments will have on current practice and whether existing loan agreements may require renegotiation.

Reference to the Conceptual Framework – Amendments to IFRS 3

In May 2020, the IASB issued Amendments to IFRS 3 Business Combinations — Reference to the Conceptual Framework. The amendments are intended to replace a reference to the Framework for the Preparation and Presentation of Financial Statements, issued in 1989, with a reference to the Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting issued in March 2018 without significantly changing its requirements.

54

##### Table of Contents

The Board also added an exception to the recognition principle of IFRS 3 to avoid the issue of potential “day 2” gains or losses arising for liabilities and contingent liabilities that would be within the scope of IAS 37 or IFRIC 21 Levies, if incurred separately.

At the same time, the Board decided to clarify existing guidance in IFRS 3 for contingent assets that would not be affected by replacing the reference to the Framework for the Preparation and Presentation of Financial Statements.

The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2022 and apply prospectively. The amendments are not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Property, Plant and Equipment: Proceeds before Intended Use – Amendments to IAS 16

In May 2020, the IASB issued Property, Plant and Equipment — Proceeds before Intended Use, which prohibits entities deducting from the cost of an item of property, plant and equipment, any proceeds from selling items produced while bringing that asset to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management. Instead, an entity recognises the proceeds from selling such items, and the costs of producing those items, in profit or loss.

The amendment is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2022 and must be applied retrospectively to items of property, plant and equipment made available for use on or after the beginning of the earliest period presented when the entity first applies the amendment. The amendments are not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Onerous Contracts – Costs of Fulfilling a Contract – Amendments to IAS 37

In May 2020, the IASB issued amendments to IAS 37 to specify which costs an entity needs to include when assessing whether a contract is onerous or loss-making.

The amendments apply a “directly related cost approach”. The costs that relate directly to a contract to provide goods or services include both incremental costs and an allocation of costs directly related to contract activities. General and administrative costs do not relate directly to a contract and are excluded unless they are explicitly chargeable to the counterparty under the contract.

The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2022. The Group will apply these amendments to contracts for which it has not yet fulfilled all its obligations at the beginning of the annual reporting period in which it first applies the amendments. The amendments are not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

IFRS 1 First-time Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards – Subsidiary as a first-time adopter

As part of its 2018-2020 annual improvements to IFRS standards process, the IASB issued an amendment to IFRS 1 First-time Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards. The amendment permits a subsidiary that elects to apply paragraph D16(a) of IFRS 1 to measure cumulative translation differences using the amounts reported by the parent, based on the parent’s date of transition to IFRS. This amendment is also applied to an associate or joint venture that elects to apply paragraph D16(a) of IFRS 1.

The amendment is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2022 with earlier adoption permitted. The amendments are not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

IFRS 9 Financial Instruments – Fees in the ‘10 per cent’ test for derecognition of financial liabilities

As part of its 2018-2020 annual improvements to IFRS standards process the IASB issued amendment to IFRS 9. The amendment clarifies the fees that an entity includes when assessing whether the terms of a new or modified financial liability are substantially different from the terms of the original financial liability. These fees include only those paid or received between the borrower and the lender, including fees paid or received by either the borrower or lender on the other’s behalf. An entity applies the amendment to financial liabilities that are modified or exchanged on or after the beginning of the annual reporting period in which the entity first applies the amendment.

The amendment is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2022 with earlier adoption permitted. The Group will apply the amendments to financial liabilities that are modified or exchanged on or after the beginning of the annual reporting period in which the entity first applies the amendment.

The amendments are not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Amendments to IFRS 16 Covid-19 Related Rent Concessions

On March 31, 2021, the IASB issued Covid-19-Related Rent Concessions — amendment to IFRS 16 Leases. The amendments provide relief to lessees from applying IFRS 16 guidance on lease modification accounting for rent concessions arising as a direct consequence of the COVID-19 pandemic. A lessee may elect not to assess whether a COVID-19 related rent concession from a lessor is a lease modification, if all the following conditions are met:

| • |  | the change in lease payments results in revised consideration for the lease that is substantially the same as, or less than, the consideration for the lease immediately preceding the change;

| • |  | any reduction in lease payments affects only payments originally due on or before June 30, 2022; and

| • |  | there is no substantive change to other terms and conditions of the lease.

The amendment applies to annual reporting periods beginning on or after April 1, 2021. Earlier application is permitted. The amendments are not expected to have a material impact on the Group.

IAS 41 Agriculture – Taxation in fair value measurements

As part of its 2018-2020 annual improvements to IFRS standards process, the IASB issued amendment to IAS 41 Agriculture. The amendment removes the requirement in paragraph 22 of IAS 41 that entities exclude cash flows for taxation when measuring the fair value of assets within the scope of IAS 41.

An entity applies the amendment prospectively to fair value measurements on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after January 1, 2022 with earlier adoption permitted. This standard is not applicable to the Group.

In order to further strengthen our level of corporate governance, we have continued to seek to cause Yuchai to adopt comprehensive corporate governance guidelines to put procedures in place to improve the management and governance of Yuchai. The 2007 version of corporate governance guidelines of Yuchai were approved and adopted by Yuchai’s Board of Directors and shareholders’ meeting on July 27, 2007 and August 16, 2007, respectively. The corporate governance guidelines and practices adopted by Yuchai continue to be fine-tuned on an ongoing basis such that Yuchai follows international best practices and which are in line with the Company Law in the PRC. Various board committees (inter alia, an Audit Sub-Committee, a Remunerations Sub-Committee, a Nominations Sub-Committee and a Financial Sub-Committee) have been established and are currently functioning in accordance with their charters. The Financial Sub-Committee is responsible for reviewing the necessity and feasibility of new projects and making recommendations to Yuchai’s Board of Directors. Yuchai and the Company are audited by the same firm of independent auditors.

The Board of Directors of Yuchai shall consist of 13 directors appointed for three-year terms pursuant to Yuchai’s current Articles of Association. A total of nine directors shall be elected from nominees of holders of Foreign Shares (including at least two independent directors) and a total of four directors shall be elected from nominees of holders of GY Group Shares and Legal Person Shares. Actions generally may be taken by a majority vote of all directors of Yuchai’s Board, apart from the following major matters which shall be passed by a two-thirds vote of all directors of Yuchai’s Board, i.e., (i) the plans to increase or decrease Yuchai’s registered capital, plans for issuances of bonds; (ii) plans for merger, division, change of corporate form or dissolution; (iii) the amendments of the Articles of Association; (iv) the election of Chairman of Yuchai’s Board. Attendance of at least seven directors (four representing holders of Foreign Shares and three representing holders of GY Group Shares or Legal Person Shares) constitutes a quorum for the Board meeting.

We are entitled under Yuchai’s Articles of Association to elect nine of Yuchai’s 13 directors, thereby entitling us to effect all major decisions relating to Yuchai. As part of the terms of the Reorganization Agreement and the Cooperation Agreement, Yuchai affirmed our continued rights, as Yuchai’s majority shareholder, to direct the management and policies of Yuchai through Yuchai’s Board of Directors. A two-thirds vote of the outstanding shares at a shareholders’ meeting at which a quorum is present is required for major corporate actions, including (i) the issuance of new shares or other securities, the expansion of the scope of any subscription of shares, the transfer procedures for Yuchai’s share certificates, and the public offering and listing of Yuchai shares within and outside China; (ii) significant sales or purchases of assets, or any division, merger, acquisition, termination, liquidation or other major corporate action of Yuchai; (iii) amendment to Yuchai’s Articles of Association; (iv) to increase or decrease the registered capital of Yuchai. Attendance of shareholders representing at least two-thirds of the outstanding Yuchai shares constitutes a quorum for shareholder meetings considering such major corporate actions.

However, although our nominees constitute a majority of the Board of Directors of Yuchai, there have, on various occasions in the past, been periods of time when no board meetings have been held, despite Yuchai’s Articles of Association at the time requiring the Board of Directors to meet at least once every six months as well as upon repeated requests by us. Prior to the execution of the Reorganization Agreement, Yuchai’s Articles of Association provided that a quorum for a board meeting was at least five Directors, three representing holders of Foreign Shares and two representing holders of GY Group Shares or Legal Person Shares. However, subsequent to the execution of the Reorganization Agreement, these quorum requirements have been amended in Yuchai’s new Articles of Association as approved by the Guangxi Department of Commerce on December 2, 2009. Under the new Articles of Association, a quorum for a board meeting shall be at least seven directors, four representing holders of Foreign Shares and three representing holders of GY Group Shares or Legal Person Shares. If the quorum cannot be met for two consecutive times, then any seven directors present shall constitute the quorum for the third meeting. In addition, under Yuchai’s new Articles of Association, board meetings are to be convened at least three times a year.

Yuchai’s management consists of a Chairman, a President and several Vice Presidents, other senior officers designated by its Board of Directors and senior managers and officers designated by us. Yuchai’s management handles daily operations and implements the corporate policies under the direction and guidance of its Board of Directors.

As a general matter, we require access to certain financial books and records of Yuchai so as to be able to monitor our investment in Yuchai and to prepare our consolidated financial statements. In early 2004, Yuchai temporarily denied us such access. In response, we initiated dialogue with representatives of Yuchai and shortly thereafter agreed with Yuchai to resume allowing us access to the financial books and records of Yuchai. Moreover, and as disclosed elsewhere in this Annual Report, we require the cooperation of Yuchai and its Chinese shareholders and have from time to time experienced certain problems in obtaining such cooperation. In response to such problems, we entered into dialogue with representatives of Yuchai and its Chinese shareholders and thereafter executed the Reorganization Agreement, which we believe addresses these problems. As part of the terms of the Reorganization Agreement, Yuchai agreed that it would seek the requisite shareholder approval prior to entering into any material transactions (including any agreements or arrangements with parties related to Yuchai or any of its shareholders) and that it would comply with its governance requirements. However, no assurances can be given regarding implementation of the terms of the Reorganization Agreement.

In addition, the President, Chief Financial Officer and a manager proficient in Section 404 of Sarbanes — Oxley Act of 2002, or SOX, usually travel monthly, for as much as up to two weeks at a time, to Yuchai to actively participate in Yuchai’s operations and decision-making process.

Key Information — Risk Factors — Risks relating to our company and our business — our financial condition, results of operations, business and prospects may be adversely affected if we are unable to implement the Reorganization Agreement and the Cooperation Agreement.”

Compensation

Service Fees

Pursuant to the Amended and Restated Shareholders Agreement of the Company dated November 9, 1994, Hong Leong Asia is entitled to receive no less than US$500,000 from either Yuchai or the Company for management services as long as Hong Leong Asia remains the controlling shareholder, and provided that the services include those of the President and Chief Financial Officer. With effect from January 2008, further to agreements entered into between the Company and Yuchai, Yuchai pays the Company, instead of Hong Leong Asia, consultancy and management services fee of US$1,000,000 per annum. Hong Leong Asia has agreed to waive its right to be paid any fees as set out in the Amended and Restated Shareholders Agreement of November 9, 1994. In 2011, this arrangement was restructured into a separate management services agreement and consulting services agreement, with the total quantum of annual fee remaining the same at US$1,000,000. See “Item 7. Major Shareholders and Related Party Transactions — Related Party Transactions — Shareholder Agreement.”

In December 2019, the Company and Yuchai entered into a supplemental agreement pursuant to which Yuchai paid an additional management fee of RMB 3 million to the Company for the year 2019 in respect of additional management services provided by the Company and higher human resource costs related to those services. The Company and Yuchai are in discussions on a new supplemental agreement in respect of an additional management fee for the year 2020.

Remuneration and Pensions

The total fees paid to the Directors (other than Directors appointed to an executive office) for performing their services as Directors must not exceed US$250,000 each year or such lesser amount as our Board of Directors may determine. The Directors may decide such sum to be divided among them, except that any Director holding office for part of a year shall unless otherwise agreed be entitled to any proportionate part of the remuneration. Our shareholders may by ordinary resolution increase the amount of the fees payable to the Directors. Our shareholders approved the increase in the limit of the Directors’ fee from US$250,000 to US$490,000 for the fiscal year 2017 at our annual general meeting held on June 19, 2018 and from US$250,000 to US$490,000 for the fiscal year 2018 at our annual general meeting held on June 21, 2019. At our annual general meeting held on July 17, 2020, our shareholders approved the increase in the limit of the Directors’ fee from US$250,000 to US$569,013 for the fiscal year 2019. For fiscal year 2020, and subject to shareholders’ approval at the annual general meeting, we will pay an annual director fee of US$50,000 to each Director (pro-rated accordingly if a director resigns or assumes the position during the year) other than the President of the Company, and an annual service fee of US$60,000 and US$40,000 to the Chairman and each of the members of the Audit Committee, respectively.

Our Board of Directors may grant special remuneration to any Director who, being called upon, shall render any special or extra services to or at the request of the Company. Such special remuneration may be paid to such Director in addition to or in substitution for his ordinary remuneration as a Director and may be payable by way of a lump sum, participation in profits or as otherwise determined by our Board of Directors. For the year of 2020, our Board of Directors approved a special remuneration of US$50,000 to be paid to one of our Directors.

Save for legally mandated contributions on behalf of our employees, our Board of Directors does not provide pensions or other benefits to any Director, officer or former Director or officer, or any of their family members or dependents.

ITEM 7. MAJOR SHAREHOLDERS AND RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Major Shareholders

The following table sets forth certain information regarding beneficial ownership of our shares of Common Stock as of February 28, 2021 by all persons who are known to us to own 5% or more of the outstanding shares of Common Stock.

Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with rules of the SEC, which generally attribute beneficial ownership of securities to persons who possess sole or shared voting power or investment power with respect to those securities and includes equity shares issuable pursuant to the exercise of stock options or warrants that are immediately exercisable or exercisable within 60 days. These shares are deemed to be outstanding and to be beneficially owned by the person holding those options or warrants for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of that person, but are not treated as outstanding for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of any other person. Unless otherwise indicated, all information with respect to the beneficial ownership of any principal shareholder has been furnished by such shareholder and, unless otherwise indicated, we believe that persons named in the table have sole voting and sole investment power with respect to all the equity shares shown as beneficially owned. The share numbers and percentages listed below are based on 40,858,290 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of February 28, 2021.

(1) | Information based on a general announcement by Hong Leong Asia on the Singapore Exchange on February 25, 2021. Hong Leong Asia is currently the beneficial owner of and exercises control over the special share and the 18,270,965 shares of Common Stock or approximately 44.72% of the total number of shares of Common Stock held by its wholly-owned subsidiaries, HL Technology and Well Summit Investments Limited. See also “Item 7. Major Shareholders and Related Party Transactions — Related Party Transactions — Shareholders Agreement.” Other than as described under “Item 3. Key Information — Risk Factors — Risks relating to our shares and share ownership — We may experience a change of control as a result of sale or disposal of shares of our Common Stock by our controlling shareholders” and “Item 7. Major Shareholders And Related Party Transactions — The Special Share,” we are not aware of any arrangement which may, at a subsequent date, result in a change of control of the Company.

(2) | Information based on the Schedule 13D filed with the SEC on February 13, 2020 by Coomber, Goldman Industrial Ltd., GY Group, State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission of the People’s Government of Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, Beibu Gulf Industry Investment Fund Limited Partnership, Guangxi Industrial Development Co., Ltd. and the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission of the People’s Government of Yulin City, according to which each of the foregoing entities may be deemed to share voting and dispositive power with respect to the 7,028,151 shares of Common Stock held directly by Coomber.

(3) | Information based on a report on Form 13-F filed by Shah Capital Management with the SEC on January 28, 2021 for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2020.

As of February 28, 2021, there were 25,937,303 shares of Common Stock, or 63.48% of the total number of shares of Common Stock, held of record by 13 holders with registered addresses in the United States.

Except as described below under “The Special Share,” each of our shareholders is entitled to one vote on all matters that require a vote of shareholders, and none of our shareholders has any contractual or other special voting rights.

The Special Share

The special share entitles the holder thereof to elect a majority of our Directors. In addition, no shareholders’ resolution may be passed without the affirmative vote of the special share, including any resolution to amend the Memorandum of Association or our Bye-Laws. The special share is not transferable except to Hong Leong Asia, Hong Leong China or any of its affiliates. In 1994, we issued the special share to Diesel Machinery, a holding company of the Company then controlled by Hong Leong China. During 2002, following the decision of the shareholders of Diesel Machinery to dissolve Diesel Machinery, Diesel Machinery redeemed all of the redeemable stock issued by it to its shareholders. According to the Diesel Machinery shareholders, Diesel Machinery transferred all of the shares of our Common Stock held by it to its shareholders, which included Hong Leong China and its wholly-owned subsidiaries.

Because Coomber, a wholly-owned subsidiary of China Everbright Holdings, was the shareholder of Diesel Machinery which gave notice of the dissolution of Diesel Machinery, the special share was transferred by Diesel Machinery to HL Technology, an affiliate of Hong Leong Asia, pursuant to the terms of the Diesel Machinery Shareholders Agreement described below.

Our Bye-Laws provide that the special share shall cease to carry any rights in the event that, if Hong Leong Asia and its affiliates own the special share, Hong Leong Asia and its affiliates cease to own, directly or indirectly, at least 7,290,000 shares of Common Stock (or such equivalent number upon a consolidation or subdivision of the shares of Common Stock), or if China Everbright Holdings and its affiliates own the special share, China Everbright Holdings and its affiliates cease to own, directly or indirectly, at least 6,570,000 shares of Common Stock (or such equivalent number upon a consolidation or subdivision of the shares of Common Stock). The Bye-Laws also provide for circumstances in which Diesel Machinery holds the special share. However, Diesel Machinery was dissolved in 2003. HL Technology, an affiliate of Hong Leong Asia, holds the special share in addition to 9,520,251 shares of Common Stock, which is greater than the number stipulated in the provisions of our Bye-Laws set forth above.

Shareholders Agreement

Hong Leong China, China Everbright Holdings, Cathay Investment Fund Limited, or Cathay, GS Capital Partners L.P., or GSCP, 14 shareholders who initially invested in us through Sun Yuan BVI, or the Sun Yuan Shareholders, and the Company in 1994 entered into an amended and restated Shareholders Agreement, or the Shareholders Agreement, which provides for certain matters relating to the management of our company and Yuchai and the ownership of our Common Stock. The Shareholders Agreement provides that our Board of Directors will consist of eleven directors, the controlling shareholder (as described below) will be entitled to designate six directors, the major shareholder (as described below) will be entitled to designate two directors, and each of Cathay and GSCP will be entitled to designate one director and the chief executive officer of Yuchai will initially be the other director. The Shareholders Agreement also provides that the controlling shareholder will be entitled to designate five of the nine Yuchai directors that we are entitled to designate, the major shareholder will be entitled to designate two such directors and each of Cathay and GSCP will be entitled to designate one such director. Under the Shareholders Agreement, the nine Yuchai directors designated by us will vote as a block in accordance with the vote of the majority of such nine directors. The Shareholders Agreement provides that the controlling shareholder will be the person holding the special share, provided that at all times the controlling shareholder will be either Hong Leong Asia or China Everbright Holdings, and the other will be the major shareholder. Since our initial public offering in 1994, Hong Leong Asia has been the controlling shareholder and China Everbright Holdings has been the major shareholder. However, in October 2002, China Everbright Holdings sold all of its shares in Coomber to Goldman in October 2002 and is no longer our major shareholder. The Shareholder Agreement provides that if any shareholder (other than the controlling shareholder) ceases to own at least 4% of our Common Stock, such shareholder will no longer be entitled to designate any directors. Accordingly, China Everbright Holdings no longer has director designation rights. The Shareholders Agreement also provides that, so long as Hong Leong Asia is the controlling shareholder, Yuchai or we will pay Hong Leong Asia an annual management fee of not less than US$500,000 for management services provided by Hong Leong Asia, including the services of our president and chief financial officer. With effect from January 2008, further to agreements entered into between the Company and Yuchai, Yuchai has paid to the Company, instead of Hong Leong Asia, consultancy and management services fee of US$1,000,000 per annum. Hong Leong Asia has agreed to waive its right to be paid any fees as set out in the Shareholders Agreement. The Shareholders Agreement will terminate upon the occurrence of an event resulting in the special share ceasing to carry any rights.

In addition to the Shareholders Agreement, Hong Leong Asia, China Everbright Holdings and Diesel Machinery had entered into a Subscription and Shareholders Agreement on November 9, 1994, as amended on January 21, 2002 and May 17, 2002, or the Diesel Machinery Shareholders Agreement, which provided for certain matters relating to the management of Diesel Machinery, the Company, Yuchai and the ownership of Diesel Machinery stock. The Diesel Machinery Shareholders Agreement provided that Hong Leong Asia would control Diesel Machinery, provided, however, that if Hong Leong Asia and its affiliates ceased to own directly or through Diesel Machinery at least 7,290,000 shares of Common Stock when China Everbright Holdings and its affiliates own directly or through Diesel Machinery at least 6,570,000 shares of Common Stock, China Everbright Holdings would control Diesel Machinery. The Diesel Machinery Shareholders Agreement provided that all rights of the special share held by Diesel Machinery would be exercised as directed by the shareholder that controls Diesel Machinery. With the dissolution of Diesel Machinery and the sale by China Everbright Holdings of all of its shares in Coomber to Goldman in October 2002, the Diesel Machinery Shareholders Agreement no longer directly affects us.

Registration Rights Agreement

Pursuant to a registration rights agreement, or the Registration Rights Agreement, we have granted two “demand” registration rights to each of Hong Leong China, China Everbright Holdings, Cathay, GSCP and the Sun Yuan Shareholders, or collectively the Selling Stockholders, requiring us, subject to certain conditions, to use our best efforts to prepare and file a registration statement on behalf of such shareholders under the Securities Act, and to use our best efforts to qualify the shares for offer and sale under any applicable US state securities laws. Expenses incurred in connection with one demand registration for each such shareholder will be borne by us, and we and Yuchai will be required to indemnify the underwriters in connection with any demand registration. The Registration Rights Agreement also grants each such shareholder certain “piggyback” registration rights entitling each shareholder to sell Common Stock in any registered offerings of our equity securities, for our account or on behalf of our security holders. China Everbright Holdings, Cathay, GSCP and the Sun Yuan Shareholders are no longer our shareholders. In March 2004, HL Technology and Coomber each registered shares for offer and sale from time to time on a shelf registration statement on Form F-3 which we filed on their behalf pursuant to a registration rights agreement. The shelf registration statement was rendered ineffective as we were not eligible to use the Form F-3 as a result of the delay in our filing of our previous periodic reports required under the Exchange Act. However, we are now compliant with our reporting obligations as required under the Exchange Act and are eligible to use the Form F-3. We have not received any instructions from either HL Technology or Coomber pursuant to the registration rights agreement, to take any further action in relation to the shelf registration statement.

Reorganization Agreement and Cooperation Agreement

On April 7, 2005, we entered into the Reorganization Agreement with Yuchai and Coomber, which is intended to be in furtherance of the terms of the July 2003 Agreement. On November 30, 2006, certain provisions of the Reorganization Agreement were amended, including extending the implementation deadline to June 30, 2007.

The Reorganization Agreement was scheduled to terminate on June 30, 2007. On June 30, 2007, we entered into the Cooperation Agreement with Yuchai, Coomber and the GY Group, which is intended to be in furtherance of certain terms of the Reorganization Agreement, as amended. The Cooperation Agreement amends certain terms of the Reorganization Agreement, as amended, among CYI, Yuchai and Coomber, and as so amended, incorporates certain terms of the Reorganization Agreement. See “Item 4. Information on the Company — History and Development — Cooperation Agreement.”

Other Transactions

We provide certain management, financial planning, internal audit services, internal control testing, IFRS training, business enhancement consulting and other services to Yuchai and we have a team working full-time at Yuchai’s principal manufacturing facilities in Yulin city. In addition, the President, Chief Financial Officer and a manager proficient in Section 404 of Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, or SOX, usually travel monthly, for as much as up to two weeks, at a time to Yuchai to actively participate in Yuchai’s operations and decision-making process. During fiscal year 2019, pursuant to a management services agreement and a consulting services agreement, we charged a total of US$1.0 million to Yuchai for these services. Pursuant to the supplemental agreement entered into by Yuchai and the Company, in consideration of the increase of management services as well as higher human resource costs incurred to provide services to Yuchai, Yuchai paid an additional management fee of RMB 3 million to the Company for the year 2019. The Company and Yuchai are in discussions on a new supplemental agreement in respect of an additional management fee for the year 2020.

During fiscal year 2020, certain affiliates of Hong Leong Asia charged us RMB 6.7 million (US$1.0 million) for certain general and administrative expenses such as corporate secretarial services, office rental, professional and consultancy fees and miscellaneous office expenses.

During fiscal year 2020, Yuchai entered into agreements with the GY Group (including its subsidiaries and affiliates) and with Yuchai’s associates and joint ventures for the sale and purchase of materials, supplies, scraps and diesel engines, lease of assets, hospitality and restaurant services etc. For further details on our business transactions with related parties, please see Note 28 to our consolidated financial statements in Item 18.

The Trademark License Agreement further permits Yuchai to continue using the licensed trademarks free-of-charge after the expiry of the ten-year period.

Legal Proceedings

Other than as set forth below, neither we nor any of our consolidated subsidiaries is currently involved in any material legal or arbitration proceedings that we believe may have, or have had in the recent past, significant effects on our financial position or profitability.

Proceedings with Yuchai

We have previously encountered difficulties in obtaining the cooperation of the GY Group and Mr. Wang Jianming in the daily management and operation of Yuchai. The GY Group is a minority shareholder of Yuchai and is majority-owned by the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region. Until December 3, 2005, Mr. Wang was the Chairman, legal representative and Chief Executive Officer of Yuchai, as well as the Vice-Chairman and legal representative of the GY Group.

Dividends

See “Item 3. Key Information — Dividends.”

In response to earlier difficulties with respect to corporate governance measures and certain dividends declared by Yuchai, we initiated legal and arbitration proceedings in New York, London and Singapore against Yuchai, Mr. Wang and other related parties in May 2003. We subsequently discontinued these proceedings as a result of the execution of the July 2003 Agreement. Among other things, the July 2003 Agreement led to the resolution at that time of previous disagreements with respect to the payment of dividends by Yuchai to us and the re-appointment of Mr. Wang Jianming as Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board of Directors of Yuchai in September 2003. We and Yuchai also agreed to work together to implement corporate governance procedures and to promote plans to enhance shareholder value. However, from time to time, we have continued to face difficulties in obtaining the cooperation of the Chinese shareholders of Yuchai in the daily management and operation of Yuchai and to fully exercise our controlling interest in Yuchai. Following the execution of the July 2003 Agreement, disagreements among the parties continued to recur. For example, representatives of the Chinese shareholders of Yuchai alleged that resolutions passed by our six wholly-owned subsidiaries at Yuchai’s shareholders’ meeting in December 2004 were invalid, allegations with which we disagreed.

In April 2005, we, Yuchai and Coomber agreed on steps relating to the adoption of corporate governance practices at Yuchai and a broad framework for the restructuring of our ownership of Yuchai, and entered into the Reorganization Agreement. The Reorganization Agreement is intended to be in furtherance of the July 2003 Agreement. In December 2005 and November 2006, the parties amended certain provisions of the Reorganization Agreement, including extending the implementation deadline to June 30, 2007. In June 2007, we, Yuchai, Coomber and the GY Group entered into the Cooperation Agreement which amends certain terms of the Reorganization Agreement. Pursuant to the amendments to the Reorganization Agreement, the Company has agreed that the restructuring and spin-off of Yuchai will not be effected, and, recognizing the understandings that have been reached between the Company and the GY Group to jointly undertake efforts to expand the business of Yuchai, the Company will not seek to recover the anti-dilution fee of US$20 million from Yuchai. Although the parties to the Cooperation Agreement are expected to work towards its implementation as expeditiously as possible, no assurance can be given as to when the transactions contemplated therein will be fully consummated, or that implementation of the Cooperation Agreement will effectively resolve all of the difficulties faced by us with respect to its investment in Yuchai.

ITEM 9. THE OFFER AND LISTING

Since December 16, 1994, the Common Stock has been listed and traded on the NYSE under the symbol “CYD.” The Common Stock is not listed on any other exchanges within or outside the United States.

Memorandum of Association and Bye-Laws

Corporate Governance

We are an exempted company incorporated in Bermuda and are subject to the laws of that jurisdiction. The legal framework in Bermuda which applies to exempted companies is flexible and allows an exempted company to comply with the corporate governance regime of the relevant jurisdiction in which the company operates or applicable listing standards. Under Bermuda law, members of a board of directors owe a fiduciary duty to the company to act in good faith in their dealings with or on behalf of the company and to exercise their powers and fulfill the duties of their office honestly. In addition, the Bermuda company legislation imposes a duty on directors and officers of an exempted company to act honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interests of the company and requires them to exercise the care, diligence and skill that a reasonably prudent person would exercise in comparable circumstances. Bermuda legislation also imposes certain specific duties and obligations on companies and directors, both directly and indirectly, including duties and obligations with respect to matters such as (a) loans to directors and related persons; and (b) limits on indemnities for directors and officers. Bermuda law does not impose specific obligations in respect of corporate governance, such as those prescribed by NYSE listing standards, requiring a company to (i) appoint independent directors to their boards; (ii) hold regular meetings of non-management directors; (iii) establish audit, nominating and governance or compensation committees; (iv) have shareholders approve equity compensation plans; (v) adopt corporate governance guidelines; or (vi) adopt a code of business conduct and ethics.

We are also subject to the NYSE listing standards, although, because we are a foreign private issuer, those standards are considerably different from those applied to US companies. Under the NYSE rules, we need only (i) establish an independent audit committee that has specified responsibilities as described in the following table; (ii) provide prompt certification by our chief executive officer of any material non-compliance with any corporate governance rules; (iii) provide periodic written affirmations to the NYSE with respect to our corporate governance practices; and (iv) provide a brief description of significant differences between our corporate governance practices and those followed by US companies. The following table compares the Company’s principal corporate governance practices, which are in compliance with Bermuda law, to those required of US companies.

Annual General and Special General Meetings

We must hold an annual general meeting each year. Our Directors decide where and when it will be held. Not more than fifteen months may elapse between the date of one annual general meeting and the next. At least 14 clear days’ written notice must be given for every annual general meeting and for every special general meeting. The notice for any annual general meeting must state the date, place and time at which the meeting is to be held, and the business to be conducted at the meeting, including, if applicable, any election of Directors. The notice for any special general meeting must state the time, place and the general nature of the business to be considered at the meeting and shall state that a shareholder entitled to attend and vote is entitled to appoint one or more proxies to attend and vote instead of him. In the case of a meeting convened for passing a special resolution, the notice shall specify the intention to propose the resolution as a special resolution.

Such meeting shall be held within two months after the request has been made. If within 21 days of such deposit of the request, the Board fails to convene the meeting, such shareholders may convene the meeting themselves in accordance with Section 74(3) of the Companies Act of 1981 of Bermuda.

Limitations on Rights to Own Securities

There are no limitations under Bermuda law or our Memorandum of Association and Bye-Laws on the rights of non-Bermuda owners of shares of the Company to hold or vote their shares.

We are exempt from the laws of Bermuda which restrict the percentage of share capital that may be held by non-Bermudians, but as an exempted company we may not participate in certain business transactions, including (i) the acquisition or holding of land in Bermuda (except that required for its business held by way of lease or tenancy for a term not exceeding 50 years or, with the consent of the Minister of Finance of Bermuda, land by way of lease or tenancy for a term not exceeding 21 years in order to provide accommodation or recreational facilities for its employees); (ii) the taking of mortgages on land in Bermuda to secure an amount in excess of 50,000 Bermuda dollars without the prior consent of the Minister of Finance of Bermuda; (iii) the acquisition of any bonds or debentures secured by any land in Bermuda other than those issued by the Government of Bermuda or a public authority; or (iv) the carrying on of business of any kind or type whatsoever in Bermuda either alone or in partnership or otherwise except, inter alia, carrying on business with persons outside Bermuda, in furtherance of the business of the Company carried on outside Bermuda or under a license granted by the Minister of Finance of Bermuda.

In accordance with our Bye-Laws, share certificates are only issued to members of the Company (i.e., persons registered in the register of members as holders of shares in the Company). We are not bound to investigate or incur any responsibility in respect of the proper administration or execution of any trust to which any of our shares are subject. We will take no notice of any trust applicable to any of its shares whether or not it had notice of such trust.

Exchange Controls

Bermuda Exchange Controls

We have been designated as a non-resident for exchange control purposes by the Bermuda Monetary Authority. We have received the permission of the Bermuda Monetary Authority under the Exchange Control Act of 1972 and regulations thereunder for the transfer of shares of common stock to and between persons regarded as resident outside Bermuda for exchange control purposes and the issue of shares within the existing authorized capital of the Company to such persons for so long as such shares are listed on the NYSE. The Bermuda Monetary Authority has also granted to all Bermuda companies with voting shares listed on an appointed stock exchange (as defined in the Companies Act 1981 of Bermuda), a general permission for the issue and subsequent transfer of any securities of such companies from and to a non-resident of Bermuda. The NYSE is an appointed stock exchange under the Companies Act 1981 of Bermuda. Issues and transfers of shares involving any person regarded as resident in Bermuda for exchange control purposes require specific prior approval under the Exchange Control Act of 1972.

Because we have been designated as a non-resident for Bermuda exchange control purposes, there are no restrictions on our ability to transfer funds in and out of Bermuda or to pay dividends to United States residents who are holders of the shares of common stock, other than in respect of local Bermuda currency.

China Exchange Controls

The Renminbi currently is not a freely convertible currency. SAFE, under the authority of the PBOC, controls the conversion of Renminbi into foreign currency. Prior to January 1, 1994, Renminbi could be converted to foreign currency through the Bank of China or other authorized institutions at official rates fixed daily by SAFE. Renminbi could also be converted at swap centers, or Swap Centers, open to Chinese enterprises and foreign invested enterprises, or FIEs, subject to SAFE’s approval of each foreign currency trade, at exchange rates negotiated by the parties for each transaction. In the year ended December 31, 1993, as much as 80% by value of all foreign exchange transactions in China took place through the Swap Centers. The exchange rate quoted by the Bank of China differed substantially from that available in the Swap Centers. Effective January 1, 1994, a unitary exchange rate system was introduced in China, replacing the dual-rate system previously in effect. In connection with the creation of a unitary exchange system, the China Foreign Exchange Trading System, or CFETS, inter-bank foreign exchange market was established. Under the unitary foreign exchange system, PBOC sets daily exchange rates, or the PBOC Rates, for conversion of Renminbi into US dollar and other currencies based on the CFETS interbank market rates, and the Bank of China and other authorized banks may engage in foreign exchange transactions at rates that vary within a prescribed range above or below PBOC Rates.

Yuchai, as an FIE, is permitted to retain its foreign currency earnings and maintain foreign currency accounts at designated foreign exchange banks. However, there can be no assurance that the current authorizations for FIEs to retain their foreign exchange to satisfy foreign exchange liabilities in the future will not be limited or eliminated or that Yuchai will be able to obtain sufficient foreign exchange to satisfy their foreign exchange requirements. Foreign exchange transactions under the capital account and the foreign debt account continue to be subject to limitations and require registrations with the reviews from the designated foreign exchange banks and SAFE, which could affect the ability of Yuchai to obtain foreign exchange through debt or equity financing, including by means of loans or capital contributions from the Company.

In the event of shortages of foreign currencies, Yuchai may be unable to convert sufficient Renminbi into foreign currency to meet its foreign currency obligations or to pay dividends in foreign currency. Yuchai requires foreign currency to purchase a substantial portion of the manufacturing equipment required for the planned expansion of its manufacturing facilities and to meet foreign currency-denominated debt payment obligations. Yuchai will also require foreign currency for payment of its imported engine components.

The value of the Renminbi is subject to changes in Chinese government policies and to international economic and political developments. During the few years prior to 1994, the Renminbi experienced a devaluation against most major currencies, and a devaluation of approximately 50% of the Renminbi against the US dollar occurred on January 3, 1994 in connection with the adoption of the new unitary exchange rate system. On July 21, 2005, the PRC government changed its decade-old policy of pegging the value of the Renminbi to the US dollar. Under the new policy, the Renminbi is permitted to fluctuate within a narrow and managed band against a basket of certain foreign currencies. From July 21, 2005 to December 31, 2005, this change in policy resulted in an approximately 2.5% appreciation of the Renminbi against the US dollar. From December 31, 2005 to June 30, 2008, the Renminbi appreciated 15.0% against the US dollar. From July 2008 until June 2010, however, the Renminbi traded stably within a narrow range against the US dollar. Since June 2010, the PRC government has allowed the Renminbi to appreciate slowly against the US dollar again, though there have been periods when the US dollar has appreciated against the Renminbi as well. From December 31, 2016 to December 31, 2020, the Renminbi appreciated about 6.0% against the US dollar. From December 31, 2019 to February 26, 2021 (the last business day as of February 28, 2021), the Renminbi appreciated about 7.0% against the US dollar. It is difficult to predict how market forces or government policy may impact the exchange rate between the Renminbi and the US dollar in the future.

Furthermore, the General Affairs Department of SAFE promulgated the Notice on the Relevant Operating Issues concerning the Improvement of the Administration of Payment and Settlement of Foreign Currency Capital of Foreign-Funded Enterprises (the “Notice 142”) in August 2008 and the Supplementary Notice on Issues Relating to the Improvement of Business Operations with Respect to the Administration over Payment and Settlement of Foreign Exchange Capital of Foreign-Invested Enterprises in July 2011 (the “Notice 88”) (which were repealed in 2015 by the Notice 19 as defined below). Pursuant to the Notice 142 and the Notice 88, Renminbi converted from capital contribution in foreign currency to a domestic enterprise in China can only be used for the activities that are within the approved business scope of such enterprise and cannot be used for China domestic equity investment, acquisition, giving entrusted loans or repayment of intercompany loans, with limited exceptions. The Notice 142 and the Notice 88 were both abolished on March 30, 2015 pursuant to the Notice 16 (as defined below).

On April 28, 2013, SAFE issued the Administrative Measures for Foreign Debt Registration, which took effect on May 13, 2013 and set forth the procedures for the registration of foreign debt borrowings. With the effectiveness of such Measures, the Notice on Relevant Issues for Improving Foreign Debt Administration was abolished on May 13, 2013.

On May 10, 2013, SAFE issued the Provisions on Foreign Exchange Administration over Direct Investment Made by Foreign Investors in China, which further simplified certain operating procedures for foreign direct investments.

On January 10, 2014, SAFE issued the Notice on further Improving and Adjusting the Foreign Exchange Administration on Capital Accounts, which simplified the foreign exchange operating procedures for certain capital accounts, and has been further revised pursuant to the Notice of the State Administration of Foreign Exchange on Repealing and Revising the Normative Documents concerning the Reform for Registered Capital Registration System promulgated on May 4, 2015 and effective from May 4, 2015.

On July 4, 2014, SAFE issued the Notice on the Administration of Foreign Exchange Involved in Financing and Return on Investment Conducted by Residents in China via Special-Purpose Companies (the “Notice 37”), which became effective on July 4, 2014 and requires registration with SAFE (such registration will be conducted with relevant designated banks as specified by the Notice 13 (as defined below)) by the PRC resident shareholders of any foreign holding company of a PRC entity.

On February 13, 2015, SAFE issued the Notice on Further Simplifying and Improving the Foreign Exchange Administration Policies on Direct Investments (the “Notice 13”), which shall become effective on June 1, 2015. According to Notice 13, the banks are designated to directly review and deal with the foreign exchange registration for foreign direct investment in China Mainland and outbound direct investment. SAFE shall supervise the registration activities indirectly through banks. Certain operating procedures for direct investments are also simplified.

On March 30, 2015, SAFE issued the Notice on Reforming the Administrative Approach Regarding the Settlement of the Foreign Exchange Capitals of Foreign-invested Enterprises (the “Notice 19”), which took effect on June 1, 2015 and relieved the explicit prohibition against the use of Renminbi converted from capital contribution in foreign currency (the “Converted Renminbi”) into domestic equity investment, as provided in the Notice 142 and the Notice 88. According to the Notice 19, an ordinary FIE such as Yuchai, may make the equity investment by transferring the Converted Renminbi to the Account for Foreign Exchange Settlement Pending Payment opened by the invested enterprise.

On June 9, 2016, SAFE issued the Notice of the State Administration of Foreign Exchange on Reforming and Standardizing the Administrative Provisions on Capital Account Foreign Exchange Settlement (“Notice 16”), which became effective on the same day. Pursuant to Notice 16, domestic institutions (FIEs included) may voluntarily settle 100% (the percentage is subject to adjustment by SAFE) of their foreign exchange earnings under capital account (including capitals contribution in foreign currency, foreign debts, etc.) to the Account for Foreign Exchange Settlement Pending Payment based on actual needs under the permitted business scope. Meanwhile, Notice 16 further loosens up the restrictions imposed on the use of Converted Renminbi. According to Notice 16, the Converted Renminbi can be used for providing loans to affiliated enterprises of FIEs.

On January 12, 2017, the PBOC issued the Notice of People’s Bank of China on Matters Concerning Macro-Prudential Management on All-round Cross-border Financing (“Notice 9”), which took effect on the same day, and, according to Notice 9, the domestic entities (other than FIEs) can borrow foreign debts without the pre-approval of SAFE as well as the quota for foreign debts of domestic entities shall be calculated by reference to the annul net asset, outstanding foreign debts, and the other factors.

On January 26, 2017, SAFE promulgated the Notice of State Administration of Foreign Exchange on Improving the Inspection of Authenticity and Compliance to Further Promote Foreign Exchange Control (“Notice 3”), which became effective on the same day. The principle of Notice 3 is to encourage capital inflow. Under Notice 3, the debtor may directly or indirectly repatriate the funds under guarantee for use domestically by way of domestic borrowing or equity investment, or by other means. Meanwhile, Notice 3 emphasizes on the policy of profit remittance of FIEs. To process outbound remittance of profits in an amount equivalent to or above USD 50,000 for an FIE, the bank shall examine several documents to assure the authenticity of the profit distribution. An FIE shall use the profit to first make up the losses suffered in the previous years prior to remitting the profits overseas.

On October 23, 2019, the SAFE promulgated the Notice of the State Administration of Foreign Exchange on Further Facilitating Cross-border Trade and Investment, which canceled the restriction on the domestic equity investment by non-investment foreign-funded enterprises with their capital funds. Subject to the requirements as set forth in the Foreign Investment Negative List and the authenticity and compliance with the regulations of domestic investment projects, as well as other requirements regulating foreign investment, non-investment foreign-funded enterprises now are allowed to lawfully make domestic equity investments by using their capital.

On April 10, 2020, the SAFE promulgated the Notice by the State Administration of Foreign Exchange of Optimizing Foreign Exchange Administration to Support Foreign Business Development, which further clarified that eligible enterprises are allowed to use revenues under their capital accounts, such as capital funds and foreign debts, for payment in China without providing banks with materials to certify the authenticity of the transaction-by-transaction basis in advance, provided that such funds shall be used in compliance with the laws and regulations regarding the use for revenues under the capital accounts.

On December 31, 2020, the SAFE, the People’s Bank of China, the National Development and Reform Commission, the Ministry of Commerce, the State-owned Asset Supervision and Administration Commission of the State Council, and the China Banking and Insurance Regulatory Commission jointly promulgated the Notice on Further Optimizing Cross-border RMB Policies to Support Stabilization of Foreign Trade and Foreign Capital, which became effective on February 4, 2021 and simplified the cross-border RMB settlement process, improved the management of cross-border RMB investment and financing, as well as facilitated the use of the RMB bank settlement accounts by overseas institutions.

Taxation

Bermuda Taxation

There is no Bermuda income, corporation or profits tax, withholding tax, capital gains tax, capital transfer tax, estate duty or inheritance tax payable by shareholders of the Company other than by shareholders ordinarily resident in Bermuda. Neither the Company nor its shareholders (other than shareholders ordinarily resident in Bermuda) are subject to stamp or other similar duty on the issue, transfer or redemption of Common Stock. The Company has received from the Minister of Finance of Bermuda under the Exempted Undertakings Tax Protection Act 1966, as amended, an assurance that, in the event that Bermuda enacts any legislation imposing any tax computed on profits or income, or computed on any capital asset, gain or appreciation, or any tax in the nature of estate duty or inheritance tax, the imposition of such tax shall not be applicable to the Company or to any of its operations, shares, debentures or other obligations of the Company, until March 31, 2035. This assurance does not, however, prevent the imposition of any such tax or duty on such persons as are ordinarily resident in Bermuda and holding such shares, debentures or obligations of the Company or on land in Bermuda leased or let to the Company. As an exempted company, the Company is required to pay a registration fee in Bermuda based upon its authorized share capital and the premium on the issue of its shares, at rates calculated on a sliding scale not exceeding US$32,676 per annum.

Singapore Taxation

Dividends or Other Distributions with Respect to Ordinary Shares

Under the one-tier corporate tax system which currently applies to all Singapore tax resident companies, tax on corporate profits is final, and dividends paid by a Singapore tax resident company are not subject to withholding tax and will be tax exempt in the hands of a shareholder, whether or not the shareholder is a company or an individual and whether or not the shareholder is a Singapore tax resident.

Capital Gains upon Disposition of Ordinary Shares

Under current Singapore tax laws, there is no tax on capital gains. There are no specific laws or regulations which deal with the characterization of whether a gain is income or capital in nature. Gains arising from the disposal of our ordinary shares may be construed to be of an income nature and subject to Singapore income tax, if they arise from activities which the Inland Revenue Authority of Singapore regards as the carrying on of a trade or business in Singapore. However, under Singapore tax laws, any gains derived by a divesting company from its disposal of ordinary shares in an investee company between June 1, 2012 and May 31, 2022 are generally not taxable if immediately prior to the date of the relevant disposal, the investing company has held at least 20% of the ordinary shares in the investee company for a continuous period of at least 24 months (“safe harbor rule”). In 2020, under the Singapore Budget 2020, the safe harbor rule was extended to beyond its current sunset of May 31, 2022. The extended safe harbor end-date of December 31, 2027 has been formally legislated.

Goods and Services Tax

The issue or transfer of ownership of our ordinary shares should be exempt from Singapore GST. Hence, the holders would not incur any GST on the subscription or subsequent transfer of the shares.

People’s Republic of China Taxation

The following discussion summarizes the taxes applicable to the Company’s investment in Yuchai and applicable to Yuchai under the Chinese law.

Taxation of Dividends from Yuchai

Under the former Foreign Investment and Foreign Enterprises Law, which is now expired (the “FEIT Law”), any dividends payable by foreign-invested enterprises to non-PRC investors were exempt from any PRC withholding tax. This exemption is only applicable for revenues accumulated up to December 31, 2007.

In 2007, the PRC National People’s Congress adopted a new tax law, China Unified Enterprise Income Tax Law (the “CIT Law”), which became effective on January 1, 2008 and was amended by the Standing Committee of the National People’s Congress on December 29, 2018. The State Council adopted the related implementation rules on December 6, 2007 which was amended on April 23, 2019. In accordance with the CIT Law and its implementation rules, dividends derived from the revenues accumulated from January 1, 2008 and are paid by PRC companies to non-resident enterprises are generally subject to a PRC withholding tax levied at a rate of 10% unless exempted or reduced pursuant to an applicable double-taxation treaty or other exemptions. Dividends paid by PRC companies to resident enterprises, including enterprises established under the laws of non-PRC jurisdictions but whose “de facto management body” is located in the PRC, are not subject to any PRC withholding tax, unless the dividends are derived from the publicly traded shares which have not been held continuously by the resident enterprises for twelve months.

On February 20, 2009, the State Administration of Taxation promulgated the Notice on Relevant Issues of Implementing Dividend Clauses under Tax Treaties, or the Notice. According to the Notice, the transaction or arrangement, the major purpose for which is to obtain preferential tax treatment, shall not justify the application of preferential treatment stipulated in dividend clauses under tax treaties. Should the tax payer improperly enjoy the treatment under tax treaties as a result of such transaction or arrangement, the tax authorities in charge shall have the right to adjust. We have recognized a provision for withholding tax payable for profits accumulated after December 31, 2007 for the earnings that we do not plan to indefinitely reinvest in the PRC enterprises.

Taxation of Disposition of Yuchai Shares

In the event the Company, through its subsidiaries, transfers any of its current holding of the Yuchai Shares, the amount received in excess of its original capital contribution would be subject to Chinese withholding tax at a rate of 10%.

In the event that Yuchai is liquidated, the portion of the balance of its net assets or remaining property, after deducting undistributed profits, various funds and liquidation expenses, that exceeds Yuchai’s paid-in capital would be subject to withholding tax at a rate of 10%.

On February 3, 2015, the Chinese State Administration of Taxation issued the Circular on Several Issues Concerning the Enterprise Income Tax on Indirect Property Transfer by Non-Resident Enterprises (“Circular 7”), which became effective on the same date.

On October 17, 2017, the Chinese State Administration of Taxation issued the Announcement of the State Administration of Taxation on Issues Concerning the Withholding of Non-resident Enterprise Income Tax at Source (the “Announcement 37”), which became effective on December 1, 2017. According to the Announcement 37, the Circular concerning Strengthening the Administrative of Enterprise Income Tax on Income Derived from Transfer of Equity of Non-resident Enterprises (the “Circular 698”) has been repealed and Subsection 2 of Section 8 of Circular 7 was repealed.

Pursuant to the Announcement 37 and the Circular 7, the parties involved in the indirect transfer of Chinese taxable properties and the Chinese resident enterprises whose equity is transferred indirectly may report the equity transfer matters to the competent tax authority and shall provide certain documents and materials including but not limited to, equity transfer contract or agreement, enterprise’s equity structure prior to and after the equity transfer, the financial and accounting statements in the previous two years of the enterprises abroad and their subordinate enterprises who directly or indirectly hold Chinese taxable properties. The competent tax authority may also require the parties involved in and planning for the indirect transfer of Chinese taxable properties and the Chinese resident enterprises whose equity is transferred indirectly to provide the aforementioned materials and other relevant materials. Where a non-resident enterprise indirectly transfers properties such as equity in Chinese resident enterprises without any justifiable business purposes with the aim of avoiding to pay enterprise income tax, such indirect transfer shall be reclassified as a direct transfer of equity in Chinese resident enterprise.

Income Tax

Under the FEIT Law, Sino-foreign joint stock companies generally are subject to an income tax at a rate of 33% comprising a national tax of 30% and a local tax of 3%. Prior to January 1, 2008, notwithstanding the FEIT Law prescribed tax rate of 33%, Yuchai was subject to a preferential income tax rate of 15% since January 1, 2002, based on certain qualifications imposed by the state and local tax regulations.

In 2007, the National People’s Congress approved and promulgated a new tax law, the CIT Law, which became effective from January 1, 2008 and was further amended on December 29, 2018. Under the CIT Law, foreign invested enterprises and domestic companies are subject to a uniform corporate tax rate of 25%. The CIT Law provides a five-year transition period from its effective date for those enterprises, such as Yuchai, which were established before January 1, 2008 and which were entitled to a preferential lower tax rate under the effective tax laws or regulations. During the transition period from 2008 to 2012, a transitional graduated tax rate was applied from the existing preferential corporate tax rate to the uniform corporate tax rate of 25%.

Notwithstanding the CIT Law prescribed tax rate of 25%, Yuchai may continue to enjoy the reduced corporate tax rate of 15% if it qualifies under the Western Development Tax Incentive Scheme or the High Technology Incentive Scheme.

| • |  | The Western Development Incentive Scheme was first introduced at 2001 to encourage investment in the Western region of China. Companies operating in the Western region who fulfill certain criteria and upon approval enjoy a reduced corporate tax rate of 15%. This scheme was applicable from 2001 to 2010. In 2011, the scheme was extended to 2020. Pursuant to the Announcement of the Ministry of Finance, the State Taxation Administration and the National Development and Reform Commission on Continuing the Enterprise Income Tax Policies for the Large-Scale Development of Western China, which was issued on April 23, 2020 and became effective on January 1, 2021, the scheme was extended to December 31, 2030. In August 2014, the catalogue of qualifying industries for the Western Development Incentive Scheme was published and the catalogue for 2020 became effective on March 1, 2021. As an auto parts and accessories manufacturing is one of the qualifying industries, Yuchai applied to the tax authorities and filed its corporate tax returns under this scheme from 2008 to 2014.

| • |  | The High Technology Incentive was introduced at 2008. Companies that are high technology companies who must fulfill certain criteria and upon approval enjoy a reduced corporate tax rate of 15%. The reduced corporate tax rate took effect from January 1, 2008. Yuchai has applied to tax authorities to qualify under this scheme every 3 years since 2011 and was certified as a high technology company with effect from 2011 to 2022. Yuchai filed its corporate tax returns under the High Technology Incentive Scheme from 2015 to 2019 and will file its corporate tax return under this scheme for 2020 in mid-2021.

The China tax bureau periodically conduct tax examinations. Any adverse findings in tax examinations or change in the tax legislation in China could have adverse impact on our consolidated financial conditions or results of operations. Furthermore, pursuant to the CIT Law, if an enterprise incorporated outside the PRC has its “de facto management organization” located within the PRC in accordance with the CIT, such enterprise may be recognized as a PRC tax resident enterprise and thus may be subject to enterprise income tax at the rate of 25% on their worldwide income. The Implementation Rules specify that a “de facto management organization” means an organization that exercises material and full management and control over matters including the enterprise’s production and operations, personnel, finance and property. Although the Implementation Rules provide a definition of “de facto management organization”, such definition has not been tested and there remains uncertainty as to when a non-PRC enterprise’s “de facto management organization” is considered to be located in the PRC. If we or any of our subsidiaries registered outside China are treated as “China tax resident enterprise” under the CIT Law, our income tax expenses may increase and our profitability could be impacted.

Withholding Tax

On March 28, 2011, the Chinese State Administration of Taxation promulgated the Announcement of the State Administration of Taxation on Certain Issues Concerning the Administration of Income Tax for Non-resident Enterprises (the “Announcement 24”), which has been partially repealed in accordance with Circular 7 and Announcement 37.

On October 17, 2017, the Chinese State Administration of Taxation issued the Announcement 37 (as defined above), which became effective on December 1, 2017 and was further amended on June 15, 2018 pursuant to the Announcement of the State Administration of Taxation on Amending Certain Taxation Regulatory Documents. According to which, the Interim Measures for the Administration of Withholding of the Source of Enterprise Income Tax for Non-resident Enterprises (the “Interim Measures”) has been repealed.

In accordance with the CIT Law and the Announcement 37, if a non-resident enterprise obtains the income originating from the PRC, or the taxable income, including equity investment income such as dividend and bonus, interest, rental and royalty income, income from property transfer and other income, the payable enterprise income tax on the taxable income shall be withheld at the source by the enterprise or individual who is directly obligated to make relevant payment to the non-resident enterprise under relevant laws or contracts, or the withholding agent.

The withholding agent shall declare and pay the withheld tax to the competent tax authority in the place where such withholding agent is located within 7 days from the date of occurrence of the withholding obligation. Where the income obtained by the withholding agent and required to be withheld at source is in the form of dividends, extra dividends or any other equity investment gains, the date of occurrence of the obligation for withholding relevant payable tax is the date of actual payment of the dividends, extra dividends or other equity investment gains. Where the non-resident enterprise receives in installments the income subject to withholding of tax at the source from the same transfer of property, the amount received thereby in installments can be deemed as the recovered cost of the property invested previously and the withholding tax shall be calculated and paid after the recovery of the cost in full.

The withholding agent shall complete the Form of Report on Withholding of Enterprise Income Tax of the People’s Republic of China in declaration and payment of the tax required to be withheld. The withholding agent may submit relevant declaration materials before declaration and payment of the tax required to be withheld and such materials shall not be submitted repetitively in declaration.

In the event that a non-resident enterprise fails to file and pay the withheld tax in the manner or within the timeframe required, it will be ordered by the tax authority to pay the withhold tax within a limited period of time.

Value-Added Tax

In addition to Chinese income tax, Yuchai is subject to valued added tax, or the VAT. With effect from November 19, 2017, the amended Value-Added Tax Provisional Regulations require all tax payers engaging in sales of goods, provision of processing services, repairs and replacement services, sales of services, intangible assets or real property, or importation of goods within the territory of the PRC to pay VAT. Commencing from 2012, the application of VAT has been gradually expanded to certain industries through a VAT pilot program to replace business and services taxes. On May 1, 2016, VAT was extended to cover the construction, real estate, finance and consumer services sectors. The basic VAT rate is 17% of the sales price of the item, although certain goods are assessed at a preferential VAT rate of 13%.

78

##### Table of Contents

On March 28, 2018, the Standing Committee Meeting of State Council confirmed a comprehensive set of measures to continue VAT reform in China, which measures would become effective from May 1, 2018. Pursuant to those measures, the VAT rate for manufacturing industry and other industries was reduced from 17% to 16%, and the VAT rate for transportation, construction, basic telecommunications service industries and agricultural goods was reduced from 11% to 10%. The Ministry of Finance and the State Administration of Taxation then promulgated the Notice on Adjusting Value-Added Tax Rate on April 4, 2018. The reform policy of the State Council has been restated and specified that all the sectors subject to 17% and 11% VAT rates would be entitled to the newly reduced rates of 16% and 10%, respectively, from May 1, 2018.

On March 5, 2019, Premier Li Keqiang delivered the Government Work Report, according to which the VAT tax rates in China was further reduced. On March 20, 2019, the Ministry of Finance, the State Administration of Taxation and the General Administration of Customs promulgated the Announcement on Policies regarding Deepening the Reform of Value-Added Taxation, which came into force on April 1, 2019, in which the authorities restated that all the sectors subject to 16% and 10% VAT rates is entitled to the newly reduced rates of 13% and 9%, respectively.

There were no further changes to the value-added tax rates in 2020.

United States Federal Income Taxation

This section describes the material United States federal income tax consequences of owning and disposing of Common Stock. It applies to a US Holder (as defined below) that holds the Common Stock as a capital asset for tax purposes. This section does not apply to a US Holder that is a member of a special class of holders subject to special rules, including:

• |  | a financial institution,

• |  | a dealer in securities,

• |  | a trader in securities that elects to use a mark-to-market method of accounting for its securities holdings,

• |  | a real estate investment trust,

• |  | a regulated investment company,

• |  | U.S. expatriates,

• |  | persons who acquired Common Stock pursuant to the exercise of any employee share option or otherwise as compensation,

• |  | a tax-exempt organization,

• |  | an insurance company,

• |  | a person liable for alternative minimum tax,

• |  | a person that actually or constructively owns 10% or more of the stock of the Company (by vote or value),

• |  | a person that owns Common Stock through a partnership or other pass-through entity or arrangement,

• |  | a person that holds Common Stock as part of a straddle or a hedging or conversion transaction,

• |  | a person whose functional currency is not the US dollar, or

• |  | a person subject to special tax accounting rules as a result of any item of gross income with respect to the Common Stock being taken into account in an applicable financial statement.

This section is based on the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), its legislative history, existing and proposed regulations, published rulings and court decisions, all as currently in effect. These laws are subject to change, possibly on a retroactive basis. There is currently no comprehensive income tax treaty between the United States and Bermuda.

This section does not describe any tax consequences arising out of the tax laws of any state, local or non-U.S. jurisdiction, any estate or gift tax consequences or the Medicare tax on certain “net investment income.” If an entity or arrangement that is treated as a partnership for United States federal income tax purposes holds the Common Stock, the treatment of a partner in the partnership will generally depend on the status of the partner and the activities of the partnership. Partners in such partnerships should consult with their tax advisors.

79

##### Table of Contents

For purposes of this discussion, a US Holder is a beneficial owner of Common Stock that is:

• |  | an individual who is a citizen or resident of the United States,

• |  | a US domestic corporation (or other entity taxable as a US domestic corporation for United States federal income tax purposes),

• |  | an estate the income of which is subject to United States federal income tax regardless of its source, or

• |  | a trust, if a United States court can exercise primary supervision over the trust’s administration and one or more United States persons are authorized to control all substantial decisions of the trust, or if a valid election is in place to treat the trust as a United States person.

US Holders should consult their own tax advisor regarding the United States federal, state and local and other tax consequences of owning and disposing of shares in their particular circumstances.

Taxation of Dividends

Under the United States federal income tax laws, and subject to the passive foreign investment company (“PFIC”) rules discussed below, US Holders will include in gross income the gross amount of any dividend paid by the Company out of its current or accumulated earnings and profits (as determined for United States federal income tax purposes). The amount of dividends will include any cash distributions and the fair market value of certain stock distributions and distributions of other property. In this regard, if the distribution is at the election of any stockholder, payable either in cash or in shares, the receipt of shares by the US Holders would generally be treated as a taxable distribution in an amount equal to the fair market value of such shares as of the date of the distribution. The dividend is ordinary income that the US Holder must include in income when the dividend is actually or constructively received. The dividend will not be eligible for the dividends-received deduction generally allowed to United States corporations in respect of dividends received from other United States corporations. Distributions in excess of current and accumulated earnings and profits, as determined for United States federal income tax purposes, will be treated as a non-taxable return of capital to the extent of the US Holder’s basis in the shares and thereafter as capital gain. We currently do not, and we do not intend to, calculate our earnings and profits under United States federal income tax principles. Therefore, a US Holder should expect that a distribution will generally be reported as a dividend even if that distribution would otherwise be treated as a non-taxable return of capital or as capital gain under the rules described above.

With respect to non-corporate taxpayers, dividends may be taxed at the lower applicable capital gains rate provided that (1) the Common Stock is readily tradable on an established securities market in the United States, (2) the Company is not a PFIC (as discussed below) for either the Company’s taxable year in which the dividend was paid or the preceding taxable year, and (3) certain holding period requirements are met. Common Stock generally is considered for purposes of clause (1) above to be readily tradable on an established securities market if it is listed on the NYSE. US Holders should consult their tax advisors regarding the availability of the lower rate for dividends paid with respect to the Company’s Common Stock.

For foreign tax credit limitation purposes, the dividend will generally constitute foreign source income and will generally be “passive category income”.

Sale or Other Disposition of Common Stock

Subject to the PFIC rules discussed below, upon the sale or other disposition of shares, a US Holder will recognize capital gain or loss for United States federal income tax purposes equal to the difference between the US Holder’s amount realized and the US Holder’s tax basis in such shares. If a US Holder receives consideration for shares paid in a currency other than the US dollar, the US Holder’s amount realized will be the US dollar value of the payment received. In general, the US dollar value of such a payment will be determined on the date of sale or disposition. On the settlement date, a US Holder may recognize US source foreign currency gain or loss (taxable as ordinary income or loss) equal to the difference (if any) between the US dollar value of the amount received based on the exchange rates in effect on the date of sale or other disposition and the settlement date. However, if the shares are treated as traded on an established securities market and the US Holder is a cash basis taxpayer or an accrual basis taxpayer who has made a special election, the US dollar value of the amount realized in a foreign currency is determined by translating the amount received at the spot rate of exchange on the settlement date of the sale, and no exchange gain or loss would be recognized at that time. Capital gain of a non-corporate US Holder is generally taxed at a reduced rate where the property is held more than one year. The gain or loss will generally be income or loss from sources within the United States for foreign tax credit limitation purposes.

PFIC Rules

The Company believes that its shares should not be treated as stock of a PFIC for United States federal income tax purposes for the taxable year that ended on December 31, 2020. However, the application of the PFIC rules is subject to uncertainty in several respects, and we cannot assure you that the United States Internal Revenue Service will not take a contrary position. In addition, PFIC status is a factual determination which cannot be made until the close of the taxable year. Accordingly, there is no guarantee that the Company will not be a PFIC for any future taxable year. Furthermore, because the total value of the Company’s assets for purposes of the asset test generally will be calculated using the market price of the Company’s shares, our PFIC status will depend in large part on the market price of the Company’s shares. Accordingly, fluctuations in the market price of the Company’s shares could render the Company a PFIC for any year. A non-U.S. corporation is considered a PFIC for any taxable year if either:

• |  | at least 75% of its gross income is passive income, or

80

##### Table of Contents

• |  | at least 50% of the value of its assets (based on an average of the quarterly values of the assets during a taxable year) is attributable to assets that produce or are held for the production of passive income (the “asset test”).

In the PFIC determination, the Company will be treated as owning its proportionate share of the assets and earning its proportionate share of the income of any other corporation in which it owns, directly or indirectly, 25% or more (by value) of the stock.

If the Company were to be treated as a PFIC for any year during the US Holder’s holding period, unless a US Holder elects to be taxed annually on a mark-to-market basis with respect to the shares (which election may be made only if the Company’s shares are “marketable stock” within the meaning of Section 1296 of the Code), a US Holder will be subject to special tax rules with respect to any “excess distribution” received and any gain realized from a sale or other disposition (including a pledge) of that holder’s shares. Distributions a US Holder receives in a taxable year that are greater than 125% of the average annual distributions received during the shorter of the three preceding taxable years or the holder’s holding period for the shares will be treated as excess distributions. Under these special tax rules:

• |  | the excess distribution or gain will be allocated ratably over the US Holder’s holding period for the shares;

• |  | the amount allocated to the current taxable year, and any taxable year prior to the first taxable year in which the Company is treated as a PFIC, will be treated as ordinary income; and

• |  | the amount allocated to each other year will be subject to tax at the highest tax rate in effect for that year and the interest charge generally applicable to underpayments of tax will be imposed on the resulting tax attributable to each such year.

The tax liability for amounts allocated to years prior to the year of disposition or “excess distribution” cannot be offset by any net operating losses for such years, and gains (but not losses) realized on the sale of the shares cannot be treated as capital, even if the shares are held as capital assets. If the Company were to be treated as a PFIC for any year during which a US Holder holds the shares, the Company generally would continue to be treated as a PFIC with respect to that US Holder for all succeeding years during which it owns the shares. If the Company were to cease to be treated as a PFIC, however, a US Holder may avoid some of the adverse effects of the PFIC regime by making a deemed sale election with respect to the shares.

If a US Holder holds shares in any year in which the Company is a PFIC, that holder will be required to file an annual information report with the United States Internal Revenue Service.

Information Reporting and Backup Withholding

Dividend payments with respect to our shares and proceeds from the sale, exchange or redemption of our shares may be subject to information reporting to the United States Internal Revenue Service and possible United States backup withholding. Backup withholding will not apply, however, to a US Holder that furnishes a correct taxpayer identification number and makes any other required certification or that is otherwise exempt from backup withholding. US Holders that are required to establish their exempt status generally must provide such certification on United States Internal Revenue Service Form W-9. US Holders should consult their tax advisors regarding the application of the U.S. information reporting and backup withholding rules.

Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Amounts withheld as backup withholding may be credited against your United States federal income tax liability, and you may obtain a refund of any excess amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules by filing the appropriate claim for refund with the United States Internal Revenue Service and furnishing any required information in a timely manner.

Additional Reporting Requirements

Certain US Holders who are individuals are required to report information relating to an interest in our shares, subject to certain exceptions. Under certain circumstances, an entity may be treated as an individual for purposes of these rules. US Holders should consult their tax advisors regarding the effect, if any, of this United States federal income tax legislation on their ownership and disposition of our shares.

Documents on Display

The SEC maintains a website at www.sec.gov/ that contains reports, proxy and information statements and other information regarding registrants that make electronic filings with the SEC using its EDGAR system. As a foreign private issuer, we are required to use the EDGAR system. We have done so in the past and will continue to do so in order to make our reports available through the SEC’s website. In addition, we upload our reports on our website at www.cyilimited.com.

ITEM 11. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

We are subject to market rate risks due to fluctuations in interest rates. The majority of Yuchai’s debt is variable rate short-term, medium-term and long-term Renminbi denominated borrowings obtained by Yuchai. The interest rates of such borrowings are generally established in accordance with directives announced from time to time by the PBOC, which are in turn affected by various factors such as the general economic conditions in China and the monetary policies of the Chinese government. The investment market sentiments may also have an impact over our securities investment in HLGE and TCL. We also have various credit facilities from banks in Singapore to finance our working capital requirements. As of December 31, 2020, we had outstanding consolidated loans of RMB 2,230 million (US$344.6 million).

The Company is exposed to the following market risk factors:

Market risk

Market risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices. Market prices comprise four types of risk: interest rate risk, currency risk, commodity price risk and other price risk, such as equity price risk. Financial instruments affected by market risk include loans and borrowings, deposits, available-for-sale investment and derivative financial instruments.

Interest rate risk

The primary source of the Company’s interest rate risk relates to interest-bearing bank deposits and its borrowings from banks and financial institutions. The interest-bearing loans and borrowings of the Company are disclosed in Note 26 (b). As certain rates are based on interbank offer rates, the Company is exposed to cash flow interest rate risk. This risk is not hedged. Interest-bearing bank deposits are short to medium-term in nature but given the significant cash and bank balances held by the Company, any variation in the interest rates may have a material impact on the results of the Company.

The Company manages its interest rate risk by having a mixture of fixed and variable rates for its deposits and borrowings.

Interest rate sensitivity

The sensitivity analyses below have been determined based on the exposure to interest rates for bank deposits and interest-bearing financial liabilities at December 31, 2020 and the stipulated change taking place at the beginning of the year and held constant throughout the reporting period in the case of instruments that have floating rates. A 50 basis point increase or decrease is used and represents management’s assessment of the possible change in interest rates.

If interest rate had been 50 basis points higher or lower and all other variables were held constant, the profit for the year ended December 31, 2020 of the Company would increase/decrease by RMB 20.9 million (US$3.2 million) (2019: profit increase/decrease by RMB 21.4 million).

Foreign currency risk

The Company is exposed to foreign currency risk on sales, purchases and financial liabilities that are denominated in currencies other than the respective functional currencies of entities within the Company. The currencies giving rise to this risk in fiscal years 2019 and 2020 are primarily Singapore dollar, Euro, Renminbi and the United States dollar.

Foreign currency translation exposure is managed by incurring debt in the operating currency so that where possible operating cash flows can be primarily used to repay obligations in the local currency. This also has the effect of minimizing the exchange differences recorded against income, as the exchange differences on the net investment are recorded directly against equity. We use derivative financial instruments, such as forward currency contracts, to hedge our foreign currency risks. We do not apply hedge accounting.

ITEM 15. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

A. Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our SEC reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our President, who is our principal executive officer, and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only a reasonable level of assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and, in reaching a reasonable level of assurance, management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

As required by Rule 13a-15(b) under the Exchange Act, we have carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our President and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report. Based on such evaluation, our management has concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

B. Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act. Internal control over financial reporting refers to a process designed by, or under the supervision of, our President and Chief Financial Officer and effected by our Board of Directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in conformity with IFRS. Internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that:

• |  | pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets;

• |  | provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with IFRS;

• |  | provide reasonable assurance that receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with our management’s and/or our Board of Directors’ authorization; and

• |  | provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

Internal control over financial reporting cannot provide absolute assurance of achieving financial reporting objectives because of its inherent limitations. Internal control over financial reporting is a process that involves human diligence and compliance and is subject to lapses in judgment and breakdowns resulting from human failures. Internal control over financial reporting also can be circumvented by collusion or improper overrides. Because of such limitations, there is a risk that material misstatements may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis by internal control over financial reporting. However, these inherent limitations are known features of the financial reporting process, and it is possible to design into the process safeguards to reduce, though not eliminate this risk.

Management evaluated the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2020 using the criteria in “Internal Control — Integrated Framework” issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013 framework) (“COSO”). As a result of management’s evaluation, management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2020. Our independent registered public accounting firm, Ernst & Young LLP, has issued an audit report on our internal control over financial reporting, expressing an unqualified opinion on the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2020.

C. Attestation Report of the Registered Public Accounting Firm

The report of our independent registered public accounting firm on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting is included on page F-2 of this Annual Report.

D. Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There was no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by this Annual Report that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

ITEM 16A. AUDIT COMMITTEE FINANCIAL EXPERT

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Shareholders and the Board of Directors of China Yuchai International Limited

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated statements of financial position of China Yuchai International Limited (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the related consolidated statements of profit or loss, comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2020, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2020, in conformity with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by International Accounting Standards Board.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”), the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2020, based on criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013 framework) and our report dated April 23, 2021 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

Adoption of New Accounting Standards

As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company changed its method of accounting for financial instruments in the year ended December 31, 2018 and its method of accounting for leases in the year ended December 31, 2019.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Critical Audit Matter

The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matter does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.

Capitalization of development costs

Description of the Matter | Prior to the financial year ended December 31, 2020, the Group has commenced the process to research and develop new engine models, which are compliant with the new engine emission standards as promulgated by the People’s Republic of China (the “Development Projects”). The Group has determined that the Development Projects met the capitalization criteria as stated in Note 2.3 (l) to the consolidated financial statements and has capitalized RMB1.1 billion (US$0.2 million) of development costs as of December 31, 2020, as disclosed in Note 12 to the consolidated financial statements.

| Auditing management’s recognition of capitalized development costs was complex because the capitalization of development costs requires the application of management judgment to determine, amongst others, what constitutes development activities and when a project moves from the research phase into the development phase. Management judgment is also required to ascertain the nature of expenses that qualify for capitalization.

How We Addressed the Matter in Our Audit | We obtained an understanding, evaluated the design and tested controls over the initiation, evaluation and approval of the Development Projects. We also tested controls over the authorization, approval and recording of expenses and controls over monitoring of the on-going Development Projects.

| Our audit procedures included, among others, evaluating management’s judgment related to the determination of the research and development phases and the determination of which development costs can be capitalized by conducting inquiries of the engineers in the Research and Development (“R&D”) department to understand the status of the Development Projects. We also inspected the testers’ feedback and work orders from the R&D department to support management’s assertion that the Development Projects are in-progress and we inspected supporting documents, on a sample basis, and compared the documentation to the Company’s capitalization criteria.

China Yuchai International Limited

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Shareholders and the Board of Directors of China Yuchai International Limited Opinion on Internal Control over Financial Reporting We have audited China Yuchai International Limited’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2020, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013 framework) (the “COSO criteria”). In our opinion, China Yuchai International Limited (the “Company”) maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2020, based on the COSO criteria. We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”), the consolidated statements of financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the related consolidated statements of profit or loss, comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2020, and the related notes and our report dated April 23, 2021 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon. Basis for Opinion The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting included in the accompanying Management’s Assessment of Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB. We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. Definition and Limitations of Internal Control Over Financial Reporting A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

2. | Basis of preparation and accounting policies

2.1 | Basis of preparation

The consolidated financial statements of the Group have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”).

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis except as disclosed in the accounting policies below.

The consolidated financial statements are presented in Renminbi (“RMB”) and all values are rounded to the nearest thousand (“RMB’000”), except when otherwise indicated.

Translation of amounts from Renminbi to the United States Dollar (“US Dollar”) is solely for the convenience of the reader. Translation of amounts from Renminbi to US Dollar has been made at the rate of RMB 6.4713 = US$1.00, the rate quoted by the People’s Bank of China at the close of business on February 28, 2021 and all values are rounded to the nearest thousand (“US$’000”), except when otherwise indicated.

The consolidated financial statements provide comparative information in respect of the previous period.

2.2 | Basis of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries as of December 31, 2020. Control is achieved when the Group is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the investee. Specifically, the Group controls an investee if and only if the Group has:

| • |  | Power over the investee (i.e. existing rights that give it the current ability to direct the relevant activities of the investee)

| • |  | Exposure, or rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee

| • |  | The ability to use its power over the investee to affect its returns

Generally, there is a presumption that a majority of voting rights results in control. To support this presumption and when the Group has less than a majority of the voting or similar rights of an investee, the Group considers all relevant facts and circumstances in assessing whether it has power over an investee, including:

| • |  | The contractual arrangement with the other vote holders of the investee

| • |  | Rights arising from other contractual arrangements

| • |  | The Group’s voting rights and potential voting rights

The Group re-assesses whether or not it controls an investee if facts and circumstances indicate that there are changes to one or more of the three elements of control. Consolidation of a subsidiary begins when the Group obtains control over the subsidiary and ceases when the Group loses control of the subsidiary. Assets, liabilities, income and expenses of a subsidiary acquired or disposed of during the year are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date the Group gains control until the date the Group ceases to control the subsidiary.

2. | Basis of preparation and accounting policies (cont’d)

2.2 | Basis of consolidation (cont’d)

Profit or loss and each component of other comprehensive income (“OCI”) are attributed to the equity holders of the parent of the Group and to the non-controlling interests, even if this results in the non-controlling interests having a deficit balance. When necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries to bring their accounting policies into line with the Group’s accounting policies. All intra-group assets and liabilities, equity, income, expenses and cash flows relating to transactions between members of the Group are eliminated in full on consolidation.

A change in the ownership interest of a subsidiary, without a loss of control, is accounted for as an equity transaction.

If the Group loses control over a subsidiary, it derecognizes the related assets (including goodwill), liabilities, non-controlling interest and other components of equity, while any resultant gain or loss is recognized in profit or loss. Any investment retained is recognized at fair value.

2.3 | Summary of significant accounting policies

| (a) | Business combinations and goodwill

Business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method. The cost of an acquisition is measured as the aggregate of the consideration transferred, which is measured at acquisition date fair value and the amount of any non-controlling interests in the acquiree. For each business combination, the Group elects whether to measure the non-controlling interests in the acquiree at fair value or at the proportionate share of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets. Acquisition-related costs are expensed as incurred and included in administrative expenses.

The Group determines that it has acquired a business when the acquired set of activities and assets include an input and a substantive process that together significantly contribute to the ability to create outputs. The acquired process is considered substantive if it is critical to the ability to continue producing outputs, and the inputs acquired include an organized workforce with the necessary skills, knowledge, or experience to perform that process or it significantly contributes to the ability to continue producing outputs and is considered unique or scarce or cannot be replaced without significant cost, effort, or delay in the ability to continue producing outputs.

When the Group acquires a business, it assesses the financial assets and liabilities assumed for appropriate classification and designation in accordance with the contractual terms, economic circumstances and pertinent conditions as of the acquisition date. This includes the separation of embedded derivatives in host contracts by the acquiree.

Any contingent consideration to be transferred by the acquirer will be recognized at fair value at the acquisition date. Contingent consideration classified as equity is not re-measured and its subsequent settlement is accounted for within equity. Contingent consideration classified as an asset or liability that is a financial instrument and within the scope of IFRS 9 Financial Instruments, is measured at fair value with the changes in fair value recognized in the statement of profit or loss in accordance with IFRS 9.

Goodwill is initially measured at cost (being the excess of the aggregate of the consideration transferred and the amount recognized for non-controlling interests and any previous interest held over the net identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed). If the fair value of the net assets acquired is in excess of the aggregate consideration transferred, the Group re-assesses whether it has correctly identified all of the assets acquired and all of the liabilities assumed and reviews the procedures used to measure the amounts to be recognized at the acquisition date. If the reassessment still results in an excess of the fair value of net assets acquired over the aggregate consideration transferred, then the gain is recognized in profit or loss.

After initial recognition, goodwill is measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill acquired in a business combination is, from the acquisition date, allocated to each of the Group’s cash-generating units that are expected to benefit from the combination, irrespective of whether other assets or liabilities of the acquiree are assigned to those units.

Where goodwill has been allocated to a cash-generating unit (“CGU”) and part of the operation within that unit is disposed of, the goodwill associated with the disposed operation is included in the carrying amount of the operation when determining the gain or loss on disposal. Goodwill disposed in these circumstances is measured based on the relative values of the disposed operation and the portion of the cash-generating unit retained.

| (b) | Investments in associates and joint ventures

An associate is an entity over which the Group has significant influence. 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.

A joint venture is a type of joint arrangement whereby the parties that have joint control of the arrangement have rights to the net assets of the joint venture. Joint control is the contractually agreed sharing of control of an arrangement, which exists only when decisions about the relevant activities require unanimous consent of the parties sharing control.

The considerations made in determining significant influence or joint control are similar to those necessary to determine control over subsidiaries. The Group’s investments in its associates and joint ventures are accounted for using the equity method.

Under the equity method, the investment in an associate or a joint venture is initially recognized at cost. The carrying amount of the investment is adjusted to recognize changes in the Group’s share of net assets of the associate or joint venture since the acquisition date. Goodwill relating to the associate or joint venture is included in the carrying amount of the investment and is not tested for impairment separately.

The statement of profit or loss reflects the Group’s share of the results of operations of the associate or joint venture. Any change in OCI of those investees is presented as part of the Group’s OCI. In addition, when there has been a change recognized directly in the equity of the associate or joint venture, the Group recognizes its share of any changes, when applicable, in the statement of changes in equity. Unrealized gains and losses resulting from transactions between the Group and the associate or joint venture are eliminated to the extent of the interest in the associate or joint venture.

The aggregate of the Group’s share of profit or loss of an associate and a joint venture is shown on the face of the statement of profit or loss outside operating profit and represents profit or loss after tax and non-controlling interests in the subsidiaries of the associate or joint venture.

The financial statements of the associate or joint venture are prepared for the same reporting period as the Group. When necessary, adjustments are made to bring the accounting policies in line with those of the Group.

After application of the equity method, the Group determines whether it is necessary to recognize an impairment loss on its investment in its associate or joint venture. At each reporting date, the Group determines whether there is objective evidence that the investment in the associate or joint venture is impaired. If there is such evidence, the Group calculates the amount of impairment as the difference between the recoverable amount of the associate or joint venture and its carrying value, then recognizes the loss within “Share of profit/(loss) of associates and joint ventures, net of tax” in the statement of profit or loss.

Upon loss of significant influence over the associate or joint control over the joint venture, the Group measures and recognizes any retained investment at its fair value. Any difference between the carrying amount of the associate or joint venture upon loss of significant influence or joint control and the fair value of the retained investment and proceeds from disposal is recognized in profit or loss.

| (c) | Current versus non-current classification

The Group presents assets and liabilities in the statement of financial position based on current/non-current classification. An asset is current when it is:

| • |  | Expected to be realized or intended to be sold or consumed in normal operating cycle;

| • |  | Held primarily for the purpose of trading;

| • |  | Expected to be realized within twelve months after the reporting period; or

| • |  | Cash or cash equivalent unless restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period.

All other assets are classified as non-current.

A liability is current when:

| • |  | It is expected to be settled in normal operating cycle;

| • |  | It is held primarily for the purpose of trading;

| • |  | It is due to be settled within twelve months after the reporting period; or

| • |  | There is no unconditional right to defer the settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period.

The terms of the liability that could, at the option of the counterparty, result in its settlement by the issue of equity instruments do not affect its classification.

The Group classifies all other liabilities as non-current.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are classified as non-current assets and liabilities.

| (d) | Fair value measurement

The Group measures financial instruments, such as quoted equity securities and bills receivable and a foreign exchange forward contract, at fair value at each balance sheet date.

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 fair value measurement is based on the presumption that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability takes place either:

| • |  | In the principal market for the asset or liability, or

| • |  | In the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market for the asset or liability

The principal or the most advantageous market must be accessible by the Group.

The fair value of an asset or a liability is measured using the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, assuming that market participants act in their economic best interest.

A fair value measurement of a non-financial asset takes into account a market participant’s ability to generate economic benefits by using the asset in its highest and best use or by selling it to another market participant that would use the asset in its highest and best use.

The Group uses valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data are available to measure fair value, maximizing the use of relevant observable inputs and minimizing the use of unobservable inputs.

All assets and liabilities for which fair value is measured or disclosed in the financial statements are categorized within the fair value hierarchy, described as follows, based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole:

| • |  | Level 1 – Quoted (unadjusted) market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities

| • |  | Level 2 – Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is directly or indirectly observable

| • |  | Level 3 – Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is unobservable

| (d) | Fair value measurement (cont’d)

For assets and liabilities that are recognized in the financial statements at fair value on a recurring basis, the Group determines whether transfers have occurred between levels in the hierarchy by re-assessing categorization (based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole) at the end of each reporting period.

For the purpose of fair value disclosures, the Group has determined classes of assets and liabilities on the basis of the nature, characteristics and risks of the asset or liability and the level of the fair value hierarchy as explained above.

Fair value related disclosures for financial instruments that are measured at fair value are summarized in the following notes:

|  | • |  | Quoted equity securities |  | Note 33
|  | • |  | Bills receivable |  | Note 33
|  | • |  | Foreign exchange forward contract |  | Note 33

| (e) | Foreign currency translation

The Company’s functional currency is US Dollar. The Group’s consolidated financial statements are presented in Renminbi, which is also the functional currency of Yuchai, the largest operating segment of the Group.

Each entity in the Group determines its own functional currency, and items included in the financial statements of each entity are measured using that functional currency.

Transactions and balances

Transactions in foreign currencies are initially recorded by the Group’s entities at their respective functional currency spot rates at the date the transaction first qualifies for recognition.

Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the functional currency spot rate of exchange at the reporting date.

Differences arising on settlement or translation of monetary items are recognized in profit or loss with the exception of monetary items that are designated as part of the hedge of the Group’s net investment of a foreign operation. These are recognized in OCI until the net investment is disposed of, at which time, the cumulative amount is reclassified to profit or loss. Tax charges and credits attributable to exchange differences on those monetary items are also recorded in OCI.

Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates at the dates of the initial transactions. Non-monetary items measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates at the date when the fair value is determined. The gain or loss arising on translation of non-monetary items measured at fair value is treated in line with the recognition of gain or loss on change in fair value of the item (i.e., translation differences on items whose fair value gain or loss is recognized in OCI or profit or loss are also recognized in OCI or profit or loss, respectively).

In determining the spot exchange rate to use on initial recognition of the related asset, expense or income (or part of it) on the de-recognition of a non-monetary asset or non-monetary liabilities relating to advance consideration, the date of the transaction is the date on which the Group initially recognizes the non-monetary asset or non-monetary liability arising from advance consideration. If there are multiple payments or receipts in advance, the Group determines the transaction date for each payment or receipt of advance consideration.

| (e) | Foreign currency translation (cont’d)

Group companies

On consolidation, the assets and liabilities of foreign operations are translated into RMB at the rate of exchange prevailing at the reporting date and their statements of profit or loss are translated at average exchange rates during the reporting period. The exchange differences arising on translation for consolidation are recognized in OCI. On disposal of a foreign operation, the component of OCI relating to that particular foreign operation is reclassified to profit or loss.

Any goodwill arising on the acquisition of a foreign operation and any fair value adjustments to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities arising on the acquisition are treated as assets and liabilities of the foreign operation and translated at the spot rate of exchange at the reporting date.

| (f) | Revenue from Contracts with Customers

Revenue from contracts with customers is recognized when control of the goods or services are transferred to the customer at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Group expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The Group has generally concluded that it is the principal in its revenue arrangements because it typically controls the goods or services before transferring them to the customer.

The disclosures of significant accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions relating to revenue from contracts with customers are provided in Note 3.

Sale of engines

Revenue from sale of engines is recognized at the point in time when control of the engine is transferred to the customer, generally on delivery of the engines, or, in some cases, when the engines are installed by the customers.

The Group considers whether there are other promises in the contract that are separate performance obligations to which a portion of the transaction price needs to be allocated (e.g. warranties). In determining the transaction price for the sale of engines, the Group considers the effects of variable consideration and the existence of significant financing components.

(i) Variable consideration

If the consideration in a contract includes a variable amount, the Group estimates the amount of consideration to which it will be entitled in exchange for transferring the goods to the customer. The variable consideration is estimated at contract inception and constrained until it is highly probably that a significant revenue reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the associated uncertainty with the variable consideration is subsequently resolved. Some contracts for the sale of engines provide customers with volume rebates. The volume rebates give rise to variable consideration.

Volume rebates

The Group provides certain customers with retrospective volume rebates when the quantity of products purchased during the period exceeds a threshold specified in the contract. To estimate the variable considerations for the expected future rebates, the Group applies the most likely amount method for each individual contract. The Group then applies the requirements on constraining estimates of variable consideration in order to determine the amount of variable consideration that can be included in the transaction price and recognized as revenue. A refund liability is recognized in “Trade and other payables” (Note 22) for the expected future rebates (i.e., the amount not included in the transaction price).

Sale of engines (cont’d)

(ii) Significant financing component

The Group receives advance payments from customers for the sale of engines. The Group applies the practical expedient for short-term advances received from customers. That is, the promised amount of consideration is not adjusted for the effects of a significant financing component if the period between the transfer of the promised good or service and the payment is one year or less.

Warranty obligations

The Group typically provides warranties for general repairs of defects as part of the sale of engines. These assurance-type warranties are accounted for as warranty provisions. Refer to the accounting policy on warranty provisions in Section (s) Provisions.

Certain contracts provide a customer with maintenance service, i.e. a distinct service to the customer in addition to the assurance that the product complies with agreed upon specification. These service-type warranties are bundled together with the sale of engines. Contracts for bundled sale of engines and a service-type warranty comprise two performance obligations because the promises to transfer the engines and to provide the service-type warranty are capable of being distinct. Using a combination of expected cost-plus margin and residual approaches, the transaction price is allocated to the service-type warranty and engines with the former performance obligation recognizing a corresponding contract liability. Revenue for service-type warranties is recognized at the point in time when the service-type warranty is provided.

Consignment arrangements

In some consignment arrangements, although the good has been delivered to the customer, the Group retains control of the good and satisfies its performance obligation only upon the utilization of the good by the customer.

Sale of completed development properties

Revenue is recognized when control of the property has been transferred to the customer, either over time or at a point in time, depending on the contractual terms and the practices in the legal jurisdictions.

For development properties whereby the Group is restricted contractually from directing the properties for another use as they are being developed and has an enforceable right to payment for performance completed to date, revenue is recognized over time, based on the construction and other costs incurred to-date as a proportion of the estimated total construction and other costs to be incurred.

For development properties whereby the Group does not have an enforceable right to payment for performance completed to date, revenue is recognized when the customer obtains control of the asset.

Rendering of services

Revenue from rendering services relates to project management contracts, and hotel room and restaurant operations. Revenue is recognized over the period in which the services are rendered, by reference to completion of the specific transaction assessed on the basis of the actual service provided as a proportion of the total services to be performed.

Contract balances

Trade receivables

A receivable is recognized if an amount of consideration that is unconditional is due from the customer (i.e. only the passage of time is required before payment of the consideration is due). Refer to accounting policies of financial assets in Section (m) Financial instruments – Initial recognition and subsequent measurement.

Contract liabilities

A contract liability is recognized if a payment is received or a payment is due (whichever is earlier) from a customer before the Group transfers the related goods or services. Contract liabilities are recognized as revenue when the Group performs under the contract (i.e., transfers control of the related goods or services to the customer).

| (f) | Revenue from Contracts with Customers (cont’d)

Refund liabilities

A refund liability is recognized for the obligation to refund some or all of the consideration received (or receivable) from a customer. The liability is measured at the amount the Group ultimately expects it will have to return to the customer. The Group updates its estimates of refund liabilities (and the corresponding change in the transaction price) at the end of each reporting period.

Costs to fulfil a contract

Costs to fulfil a contract are capitalized if the costs relate directly to the contract, generate or enhance resources used in satisfying the contract and are expected to be recovered. Other contract costs are expensed as incurred.

Capitalized contract costs are subsequently recognized in profit or loss as the Group recognizes the related revenue. An impairment loss is recognized in profit or loss to the extent that the carrying amount of the capitalized contract costs exceeds the remaining amount of consideration that the Group expects to receive in exchange for the goods or services to which the contract costs relates less the costs that relate directly to providing the goods and that have not been recognized as expenses.

| (g) | Government grants

Government grants are recognized where there is reasonable assurance that the grant will be received and all attached conditions will be complied with. When the grant relates to an expense item, it is recognized as income on a systematic basis over the periods that the related costs, for which it is intended to compensate, are expensed. When the grant relates to an asset, it is recognized as income in equal amounts over the expected useful life of the related asset.

| (h) | Taxes

Current income tax

Current income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to the taxation authorities. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the amount are those that are enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date in the countries where the Group operates and generates taxable income.

Current income tax relating to items recognized directly in equity is recognized in equity and not in the statement of profit or loss. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in the tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulations are subject to interpretation and establishes provisions where appropriate.

Deferred tax

Deferred tax is provided using the liability method on temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes at the reporting date.

Deferred tax liabilities are recognized for all taxable temporary differences, except:

| • |  | When the deferred tax liability arises from the initial recognition of goodwill or an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss

| • |  | In respect of taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates and interests in joint ventures, when the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences can be controlled and it is probable that the temporary differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future

| (h) | Taxes (cont’d)

Deferred tax (cont’d)

Deferred tax assets are recognized for all deductible temporary differences, the carry forward of unused tax credits and any unused tax losses. Deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences and the carry forward of unused tax credits and unused tax losses can be utilized, except:

| • |  | When the deferred tax asset relating to the deductible temporary difference arises from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss

| • |  | In respect of deductible temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates and interests in joint ventures, deferred tax assets are recognized only to the extent that it is probable that the temporary differences will reverse in the foreseeable future and taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilized

The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each reporting date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred tax asset to be utilized. Unrecognized deferred tax assets are re-assessed at each reporting date and are recognized to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profits will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the year when the asset is realized or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date.

Deferred tax relating to items recognized outside profit or loss is recognized outside profit or loss. Deferred tax items are recognized in correlation to the underlying transaction either in OCI or directly in equity.

Tax benefits acquired as part of a business combination, but not satisfying the criteria for separate recognition at that date, are recognized subsequently if new information about facts and circumstances change. The adjustment is either treated as a reduction to goodwill (as long as it does not exceed goodwill) if it was incurred during the measurement period or recognized in profit or loss.

The Group offsets deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities if and only if it has a legally enforceable right to set off current tax assets and current tax liabilities and the deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities relate 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 liabilities and assets on a net basis, or to realize the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously, in each future period in which significant amounts of deferred tax liabilities or assets are expected to be settled or recovered.

Sales tax

Expenses and assets are recognized net of the amount of sales tax, except:

| • |  | When the sales tax incurred on a purchase of assets or services is not recoverable from the taxation authority, in which case, the sales tax is recognized as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of the expense item, as applicable

| • |  | When receivables and payables are stated with the amount of sales tax included

The net amount of sales tax recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is included as part of receivables or payables in the statement of financial position.

| (i) | Cash dividend and non-cash distribution to equity holders of the parent

The Company recognizes a liability to make cash or non-cash distributions to equity holders of the parent when the distribution is authorized and the distribution is no longer at the discretion of the Company. A distribution is authorized when it is approved by the shareholders. A corresponding amount is recognized directly in equity.

Non-cash distributions are measured at the fair value of the assets to be distributed with fair value measurement recognized directly in equity.

Upon distribution of non-cash asset, any difference between the carrying amount of the liabilities and the carrying amount of the assets distributed is recognized in the statement of profit or loss.

| (j) | Property, plant and equipment

Construction in progress is stated at cost, net of accumulated impairment losses, if any. Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any. Such cost includes the cost of replacing part of the property, plant and equipment and borrowing costs for long-term construction projects if the recognition criteria are met. When significant parts of property, plant and equipment are required to be replaced at intervals, the Group depreciates them separately based on their specific useful lives. Likewise, when a major inspection is performed, its cost is recognized in the carrying amount of the plant and equipment as a replacement if the recognition criteria are satisfied. All other repair and maintenance costs are recognized in profit or loss as incurred.

Freehold land has an unlimited useful life and therefore is not depreciated. Asset under construction included in property, plant and equipment are not depreciated as these assets are not yet ready for intended use. Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the assets as follows:

Freehold buildings |  | : |  | 50 years
Leasehold buildings and improvements |  | : |  | Shorter of 15 to 50 years or lease term
Plant, machinery and equipment |  | : |  | 3 to 20 years
Office furniture, fittings and equipment |  | : |  | 3 to 20 years
Motor and transport vehicles |  | : |  | 3.5 to 15 years

An item of property, plant and equipment and any significant part initially recognized is derecognized upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. Any gain or loss arising on de-recognition of the asset (calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset) is included in the statement of profit or loss when the asset is derecognized.

The residual values, useful lives and methods of depreciation of property, plant and equipment are reviewed at each financial year end and adjusted prospectively, if appropriate.

The Group capitalizes interest with respect to major assets under installation or construction based on the weighted average cost of the Group’s general borrowings and actual interest incurred for specific borrowings. Repairs and maintenance of a routine nature are expensed while those that extend the life of assets are capitalized.

Construction in progress represents factories under construction and machinery and equipment pending installation. All direct costs relating to the acquisition or construction of buildings and machinery and equipment, including interest charges on borrowings, are capitalized as construction in progress.

| (k) | Investment properties

Investment properties are properties owned by the Group that are held to lease to third parties and earn rentals rather than for use in the production or supply of goods or services, or for administrative purposes, or in the ordinary course of business. Investment properties comprise completed investment properties and properties that are being constructed or developed for future use as investment properties.

Investment properties are initially recognized at cost, including transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, investment properties are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Depreciation is recognized in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the investment properties. The estimated useful life is 30 years. Depreciation methods, useful lives and residual values of investment properties are reassessed at each reporting date.

Investment properties are derecognized either when they have been disposed of (i.e., at the date recipient obtains control) or when they are permanently withdrawn from use and no future economic benefit is expected from its disposal. The difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset is recognized in profit or loss in the period of de-recognition. In determining the amount of consideration from the de-recognition of investment property the Group considers the effects of variable consideration, existence of a significant financing component, non-cash consideration, and consideration payable to the buyer (if any).

Transfers are made to (or from) investment property only when there is a change in use. Under cost model, the transfer does not change the carrying amount of the property transferred.

| (l) | Intangible assets

Intangible assets acquired separately are measured on initial recognition at cost. The cost of intangible assets acquired in a business combination is their fair value at the date of acquisition. Following initial recognition, intangible assets are carried at cost less any accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment losses. Internally generated intangibles, excluding capitalized development costs, are not capitalized and the related expenditure is reflected in profit or loss in the period in which the expenditure is incurred.

The useful lives of intangible assets are assessed as either finite or indefinite.

Intangible assets with finite lives are amortized over the useful economic life and assessed for impairment whenever there is an indication that the intangible asset may be impaired. The amortization period and the amortization method for an intangible asset with a finite useful life are reviewed at least at the end of each reporting period. Changes in the expected useful life or the expected pattern of consumption of future economic benefits embodied in the asset are considered to modify the amortization period or method, as appropriate, and are treated as changes in accounting estimates. The amortization expense on intangible assets with finite lives is recognized in the statement of profit or loss in the expense category that is consistent with the function of the intangible assets.

Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are not amortized, but are tested for impairment annually, either individually or at the cash-generating unit level. The assessment of indefinite life is reviewed annually to determine whether the indefinite life continues to be supportable. If not, the change in useful life from indefinite to finite is made on a prospective basis.

An intangible asset is derecognized upon disposal (i.e., at the date the recipient obtains control) or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. Any gain or loss arising upon de-recognition of the asset (calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset) is included in the statement of profit or loss.

Research and development costs

Research costs are expensed as incurred.

Development expenditures on an individual project are recognized as an intangible asset when the Group can demonstrate:

| • |  | The technical feasibility of completing the intangible asset so that the asset will be available for use or sale

| • |  | Its intention to complete and its ability to use or sell the asset

| • |  | How the asset will generate future economic benefits

| • |  | The availability of resources to complete the asset

| • |  | The ability to measure reliably the expenditure during development

Following initial recognition of the development expenditure as an asset, the asset is carried at cost less any accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment losses. Amortization of the asset begins when development is complete and the asset is available for use. Development costs are amortized over the period of expected future benefit. During the period of development, the asset is tested for impairment annually.

Goodwill

Accounting policy for goodwill is separately discussed in Note 2.3(a).

| (m) | Financial instruments – Initial recognition and subsequent measurement

A financial instrument is any contract that gives rise to a financial asset of one entity and a financial liability or equity instrument of another entity.

Financial assets

Initial recognition and measurement

Financial assets are classified, at initial recognition, as subsequently measured at amortized cost, fair value through other comprehensive income (“OCI”), and fair value through profit or loss.

The classification of financial assets at initial recognition depends on the financial asset’s contractual cash flow characteristics and the Group’s business model for managing them. With the exception of trade receivables that do not contain a significant financing component or which the Group has applied the practical expedient, the Group initially measures a financial asset at its fair value plus, in the case of a financial asset not at fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs. Trade receivables that do not contain a significant financing component or which the Group has applied the practical expedient are measured at the transaction price as disclosed in Section (f) Revenue from Contracts with Customers.

In order for a financial asset to be classified and measured at amortized cost or fair value through OCI, it needs to give rise to cash flows that are “solely payments of principal and interest (“SPPI”)” on the principal amount outstanding. This assessment is referred to as the SPPI test and is performed at an instrument level. Financial assets with cash flows that are not SPPI are classified and measured at fair value through profit or loss, irrespective of the business model.

The Group’s business model for managing financial assets refers to how it manages its financial assets in order to generate cash flows. The business model determines whether cash flows will result from collecting contractual cash flows, selling the financial assets, or both. Financial assets classified and measured at amortized cost are held within a business model with the objective to hold financial assets in order to collect contractual cash flows while financial assets classified and measured at fair value through OCI are held within a business model with the objective of both holding to collect contractual cash flows and selling.

Purchases or sales of financial assets that require delivery of assets within a time frame established by regulation or convention in the market place (regular way trades) are recognized on the trade date, i.e., the date that the Group commits to purchase or sell the asset.

Financial assets (cont’d)

Subsequent measurement

For purposes of subsequent measurement, financial assets are classified in four categories:

| • |  | Financial assets at amortized cost (debt instruments)

| • |  | Financial assets at fair value through OCI with recycling of cumulative gains and losses (debt instruments)

| • |  | Financial assets designated at fair value through OCI with no recycling of cumulative gains and losses upon de-recognition (equity instruments)

| • |  | Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss

Financial assets at amortized cost (debt instruments)

Financial assets at amortized cost are subsequently measured using the effective interest (“EIR”) method and are subject to impairment. Gains and losses are recognized in profit or loss when the asset is derecognized, modified or impaired.

The Group’s financial assets at amortized cost includes trade and other receivables (excluding bills receivable).

Financial assets at fair value through OCI (debt instruments)

For debt instruments at fair value through OCI, interest income, foreign exchange revaluation and impairment losses or reversals are recognized in the statement of profit or loss and computed in the same manner as for financial assets measured at amortized cost. The remaining fair value changes are recognized in OCI. Upon de-recognition, the cumulative fair value change recognized in OCI is recycled to profit or loss.

The Group’s debt instruments at fair value through OCI includes bills receivable.

Financial assets designated at fair value through OCI (equity instruments)

Upon initial recognition, the Group can elect to classify irrevocably its equity investments as equity instruments designated at fair value through OCI when they meet the definition of equity under IAS 32 Financial Instruments: Presentation and are not held for trading. The classification is determined on an instrument-by-instrument basis.

Gains and losses on these financial assets are never recycled to profit or loss. Dividends are recognized as other income in the statement of profit or loss when the right of payment has been established, except when the Group benefits from such proceeds as a recovery of part of the cost of the financial asset, in which case, such gains are recorded in OCI. Equity instruments designated at fair value through OCI are not subject to impairment assessment.

The Group does not have equity instruments measured under this category.

Subsequent measurement (cont’d)

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are carried in the statement of financial position at fair value with net changes in fair value recognized in statement of profit or loss.

This category includes derivative instruments and listed equity investments which the Group had not irrevocably elected to classify at fair value through OCI. Dividends on listed equity investments are also recognized as other income in the statement of profit or loss when the right of payment has been established.

A derivative embedded in a hybrid contract, with a financial liability or non-financial host, is separated from the host and accounted for as a separate derivative if: the economic characteristics and risks are not closely related to the host; a separate instrument with the same terms as the embedded derivative would meet the definition of a derivative; and the hybrid contract is not measured at fair value through profit or loss. Embedded derivatives are measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in profit or loss. Reassessment only occurs if there is either a change in the terms of the contract that significantly modifies the cash flows that would otherwise be required or a reclassification of a financial asset out of the fair value through profit or loss category.

Derecognition

A financial asset (or, where applicable, a part of a financial asset or part of a group of similar financial assets) is primarily derecognized (i.e., removed from the Group’s consolidated statement of financial position) when:

| • |  | The rights to receive cash flows from the asset has expired; or

| • |  | The Group has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from the asset or has assumed an obligation to pay the received cash flows in full without material delay to a third party under a “pass-through” arrangement; and either (a) the Group has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, or (b) the Group has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, but has transferred control of the asset

When the Group has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from an asset or has entered into a pass-through arrangement, it evaluates if, and to what extent, it has retained the risks and rewards of ownership. When it has neither transferred nor retained substantially all of the risks and rewards of the asset, nor transferred control of the asset, the Group continues to recognize the transferred asset to the extent of its continuing involvement. In that case, the Group also recognizes an associated liability. The transferred asset and the associated liability are measured on a basis that reflects the rights and obligations that the Group has retained.

Continuing involvement that takes the form a guarantee over the transferred asset is measured at the lower of the original carrying amount of the asset and the maximum amount of consideration that the Group could be required to repay.

Impairment

Further disclosures relating to impairment of financial assets are also provided in the following notes:

| • |  | Debt instruments at fair value through OCI represented by bills receivable (Note 15)

| • |  | Trade receivables (Note 15)

The Group recognizes an allowance for expected credit losses (“ECLs”) for all debt instruments not held at fair value through profit or loss and financial guarantee contracts. ECLs are based on the difference between the contractual cash flows due in accordance with the contract and the cash flows that the Group expects to receive, discounted at an approximation of the original effective interest rate. The expected cash flows will include cash flows from the sale of collateral held or other credit enhancements that are integral to the contractual terms.

ECLs are recognized in two stages. For credit exposure for which there has not been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition, ECLs are provided for credit losses that result from default events that are possible within the next 12 months (a “12-month ECL”). For those credit exposures for which there has been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition, a loss allowance is recognized for credit losses expected over the remaining life of the exposure irrespective of timing of the default (a “lifetime ECL”).

For trade receivable, the Group applies a simplified approach in calculating ECLs. Therefore, the Group does not track changes in credit risk, but instead recognizes a loss allowance based on lifetime ECLs at each reporting date. The Group has established a provision matrix that is based on its historical credit loss experience adjusted for forward-looking factors specific to the debtors and the economic environment.

For debt instruments at fair value through OCI, the Group applies the low credit risk simplifications. At every reporting date, the Group evaluate whether the debt instrument is considered to have low credit risk using all reasonable and supportable information that is available without undue cost or effort. In making the evaluation, the Group reassesses the external credit rating of the debt instrument. In addition, the Group considers that there has been a significant increase in credit risk when contractual payments are more than 30 days past due.

The Group’s debt instruments at fair value through OCI comprise solely of bills receivable. It is the Group’s policy to measure ECLs on such instruments on a 12-month basis. However, when there has been a significant increase in credit risk since origination, the allowance will be based on the lifetime ECL.

The Group considers a financial asset in default when contractual payments are more than 360 days from the invoice date. However, in certain cases the Group may also consider a financial asset to be in default when internal or external information indicates that the Group is unlikely to receive the outstanding contractual amounts in full before taking into account any credit enhancements held by the Group. A financial asset is written off when there is no reasonable expectation of recovering contractual cash flow.

Financial liabilities

Initial recognition and measurement

Financial liabilities are classified, at initial recognition, as financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, loans and borrowings, payables, or as derivatives designated as hedging instruments in an effective hedge, as appropriate.

All financial liabilities are recognized initially at fair value and, in the case of loans and borrowings and payables, net of directly attributable transaction costs.

The Group’s financial liabilities include trade and other payables, loans and borrowings, lease liabilities, other liabilities and derivative financial instruments.

Financial liabilities (cont’d)

Subsequent measurement

For purposes of subsequent measurement, financial liabilities are classified in two categories:

| • |  | Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss

| • |  | Financial liabilities at amortized cost

Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss

Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss include financial liabilities held for trading and financial liabilities designated upon initial recognition as at fair value through profit or loss.

Financial liabilities are classified as held for trading if they are incurred for the purpose of repurchasing in the near term. This category also includes derivative financial instruments entered into by the Group that are not designated as hedging instruments in hedge relationships as defined by IFRS 9. Separated embedded derivatives are also classified as held for trading unless they are designated as effective hedging instruments.

Gains or losses on liabilities held for trading are recognized in the statement of profit or loss.

Financial liabilities designated upon initial recognition at fair value through profit or loss are designated at the initial date of recognition, and only if the criteria in IFRS 9 are satisfied. The Group has not designated any financial liability as at fair value through profit or loss.

Financial liabilities at amortized cost

This is the category most relevant to the Group. After initial recognition, financial liabilities that are not carried at fair value through profit or loss are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the EIR method. Gains and losses are recognized in profit or loss when the liabilities are derecognized as well as through the EIR amortization process.

Amortized cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and fees or costs that are an integral part of the EIR. The EIR amortization is included as finance costs in the statement of profit or loss.

This category generally applies to loans and borrowings, lease liabilities, other liabilities and payables. For more information, refer to Note 22, 25 and 26.

De-recognition

A financial liability is derecognized when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled or expires. When an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially different terms, or the terms of an existing liability are substantially modified, such an exchange or modification is treated as the de-recognition of the original liability and the recognition of a new liability. The difference in the respective carrying amounts is recognized in the statement of profit or loss.

Offsetting of financial instruments

Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount is reported in the consolidated statement of financial position if there is a currently enforceable legal right to offset the recognized amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis, to realize the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously.

2.3 | Summary of significant accounting policies (cont’d)

| (n) | Inventories

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost and net realizable value.

Costs incurred in bringing each product to its present location and condition are accounted for as follows:

| • |  | Raw materials: purchase cost on a weighted average basis

| • |  | Finished goods and work in progress: cost of direct materials and labor and a proportion of manufacturing overheads based on the normal operating capacity, but excluding borrowing costs

Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale.

| (o) | Impairment of non-financial assets

Further disclosures relating to impairment of non-financial assets are also provided in the following notes:

| • |  | Disclosures for significant assumptions (Note 3)

| • |  | Property, plant and equipment (Note 10)

| • |  | Intangible assets (Note 12)

| • |  | Investment property (Note 11)

| • |  | Right-of-use assets (Note 17)

| • |  | Investment in joint ventures (Note 5)

The Group assesses, at each reporting date, whether there is an indication that an asset may be impaired. If any indication exists, or when annual impairment testing for an asset is required, the Group estimates the asset’s recoverable amount. An asset’s recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s or CGU’s fair value less costs of disposal and its value in use. The recoverable amount is determined for an individual asset, unless the asset does not generate cash inflows that are largely independent of those from other assets or groups of assets. When the carrying amount of an asset or CGU exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset is considered impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount.

In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. In determining fair value less costs of disposal, recent market transactions are taken into account. If no such transactions can be identified, an appropriate valuation model is used. These calculations are corroborated by valuation multiples, quoted share prices for publicly traded companies or other available fair value indicators.

The Group bases its impairment calculation on detailed budgets and forecast calculations, which are prepared separately for each of the Group’s CGUs to which the individual assets are allocated. These budgets and forecast calculations generally cover a period of ten years. A long-term growth rate is calculated and applied to project future cash flows after the tenth year.

Impairment losses are recognized in the statement of profit or loss in expense categories consistent with the function of the impaired asset.

For assets excluding goodwill, an assessment is made at each reporting date to determine whether there is an indication that previously recognized impairment losses no longer exist or have decreased. If such indication exists, the Group estimates the asset’s or CGU’s recoverable amount. A previously recognized impairment loss is reversed only if there has been a change in the assumptions used to determine the asset’s recoverable amount since the last impairment loss was recognized. The reversal is limited so that the carrying amount of the asset does not exceed its recoverable amount, nor exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation, had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset in prior years. Such reversal is recognized in the statement of profit or loss.

Goodwill is tested for impairment annually and when circumstances indicate that the carrying value may be impaired.

Impairment is determined for goodwill by assessing the recoverable amount of each CGU (or group of CGUs) to which the goodwill relates. When the recoverable amount of the CGU is less than its carrying amount, an impairment loss is recognized. Impairment losses relating to goodwill cannot be reversed in future periods.

Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are tested for impairment annually at the CGU level, as appropriate, and when circumstances indicate that the carrying value may be impaired.

| (p) | Cash and cash equivalents

For the purpose of the consolidated statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents in the statement of financial position comprise cash at banks and on hand, short-term highly liquid deposits with a maturity of three months or less, that are readily convertible to a known amount of cash and subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.

| (q) | Leases

The Group assess at contract inception whether a contract is, or contains, a lease. That is, if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration.

Group as a lessee

The Group applies a single recognition and measurement approach for all leases, expect for short-term leases and leases of low-value assets. The Group recognizes lease liabilities to make lease payments and right-of-use assets representing the right to use the underlying assets.

(i) Right-of-use assets

The Group recognizes right-of-use assets at the commencement date of the lease (i.e., the date the underlying asset is available for use). Right-of-use assets are measured at cost, less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, and adjusted for any re-measurement of lease liabilities. The cost of right-of-use assets includes the amount of lease liabilities recognized, initial direct costs incurred, and lease payments made at or before the commencement date less any lease incentives received. Right-of-use assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the lease term and estimated useful lives of the assets, as follows:

•   Leasehold land |  | 3 to 50 years
•   Building and office space |  | 1 to 6 years
•   Office furniture, fittings and equipment |  | 5 years

If ownership of the leased asset transfers to the Group at the end of the lease term or the cost reflects the exercise of a purchase option, depreciation is calculated using the estimated useful life of the asset.

The right-of-use assets are also subjected to impairment. Refer to the accounting policies in Section (o) Impairment of non-financial assets.

(ii) Lease liabilities

At the commencement date of the lease, the Group recognizes lease liabilities measured at the present value of lease payments to be made over the lease term. The lease payments include fixed payments (including in-substances fixed payments) less any lease incentives receivable, variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, and amounts expected to be paid under residual value guarantees. The lease payments also include the exercise price of a purchase option reasonably certain to be exercised by the Group and payments of penalties for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects the Group exercising the option to terminate. Variable lease payments that do not depend on an index or a rate are recognized as expenses (unless they are incurred to produce inventories) in the period in which the event or condition that triggers the payment occurs.

In calculating the present value of lease payments, the Group uses its incremental borrowing rate at the lease commencement date because the interest rate implicit in the lease is not readily determinable. After the commencement date, the amount of lease liabilities is increased to reflect the accretion of interest and reduced for the lease payments made. In addition, the carrying amount of lease liabilities is re-measured if there is a modification, a change in the lease term, a change in the lease payments (e.g., changes to future payments resulting from a change in an index or rate used to determine such lease payments) or a change in the assessment of an option to purchase the underlying assets.

(iii) Short-term leases

The Group applies the short-term lease recognition exemption to its short-term leases of land and building (i.e., those leases that have a lease term of 12 months or less from the commencement date and do not contain a purchase option). Lease payments on short-term leases are recognized as expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

| (q) | Leases (cont’d)

Group as a lessor

Leases in which the Group does not transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of an asset are classified as operating leases. Rental income arising is accounted for on straight-line basis over the lease terms and is included in revenue in the statement of profit or loss due to its operating nature. Initial direct costs incurred in negotiating and arranging an operating lease are added to the carrying amount of the leased asset and recognized over the lease term on the same basis as rental income.

| (r) | Borrowing costs

Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of an asset that necessarily takes a substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use or sale are capitalized as part of the cost of the asset. All other borrowing costs are expensed in the period in which they occur. Borrowing costs consist of interest and other costs that an entity incurs in connection with the borrowing of funds.

| (s) | Provisions

General

Provisions are recognized when the Group has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. When the Group expects some or all of a provision to be reimbursed, the reimbursement is recognized as a separate asset, but only when the reimbursement is virtually certain. The expense relating to a provision is presented in the statement of profit or loss net of any reimbursement.

If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted using a current pre-tax rate that reflects, when appropriate, the risks specific to the liability. When discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognized as a finance cost.

Product warranty

The Group recognizes a liability at the time the product is sold, for the estimated future costs relating to the assurance-type warranties, to be incurred under the lower of a warranty period or warranty mileage on various engine models, on which the Group provides free repair and replacement. For on-road applications engines, warranties extend for a duration (generally 3 to 36 months) or mileage (generally 3,000 to 300,000 kilometers), whichever materializes first. For other applications engines, warranties extend for a duration of generally 3 to 36 months or running hours of 300 to 4,000 hours, whichever materializes first. Provisions for warranty are primarily determined based on historical warranty cost per unit of engines sold adjusted for specific conditions that may arise and the number of engines under warranty at each financial year. If the nature, frequency and average cost of warranty claims change, the accrued liability for product warranty will be adjusted accordingly.

Onerous contract

If the Group has a contract that is onerous, the present obligation under the contract is recognized and measured as a provision. However, before a separate provision for an onerous contract is established, the Group recognizes any impairment loss that has occurred on assets dedicated to that contract.

An onerous contract is a contract under which the unavoidable costs (i.e., the costs that the Group cannot avoid because it has the contract) of meeting the obligations under the contract exceed the economic benefits expected to be received under it. The unavoidable costs under a contract reflect the least net cost of exiting from the contract, which is the lower of the cost of fulfilling it and any compensation or penalties arising from failure to fulfil it. The cost of fulfilling a contract comprises the costs that relate directly to the contract (i.e., both incremental costs and an allocation of costs directly related to contract activities).

| (t) | Pensions and other post-employment benefits

Defined contribution plans

The Group participates in and makes contributions to the national pension schemes as defined by the laws of the countries in which it has operations. The contributions are at a fixed proportion of the basic salary of the staff. Contributions to defined contribution pension schemes are recognized as an expense in the period in which the related services are performed.

Employee leave entitlement

Employee entitlements to annual leave are recognized as a liability when they are accrued to the employees. The undiscounted liability for leave expected to be settled wholly before twelve months after the end of the reporting period is recognized for services rendered by employees up to the end of the reporting period.

| (u) | Share-based payments

Employees (including senior executives) of the Group receive remuneration in the form of share-based payments, whereby employees render services as consideration for equity instruments (“equity-settled transactions”).

Equity-settled transactions

The cost of equity-settled transactions is determined by the fair value at the date when the grant is made using an appropriate valuation model, further details of which are given in Note 21.

That cost is recognized in “Staff costs”, together with a corresponding increase in performance share reserve in equity, over the period in which the performance and/or service conditions are fulfilled (the vesting period). The cumulative expense recognized for equity-settled transactions at each reporting date until the vesting date reflects the extent to which the vesting period has expired and the Group’s best estimate of the number of equity instruments that will ultimately vest. The expense or credit in the statement of profit or loss for a period represents the movement in cumulative expense recognized as of the beginning and end of that period.

No expense is recognized for awards that do not ultimately vest, except for equity-settled transactions for which vesting is conditional upon a market or non-vesting condition. These are treated as vested irrespective of whether the market or non-vesting condition is satisfied, provided that all other performance and/or service conditions are satisfied.

When the terms of an equity-settled award are modified, the minimum expense recognized is the expense had the terms not been modified, provided the original terms of the award are met. An additional expense, measured as of the date of modification, is recognized for any modification that increases the total fair value of the share-based payment transaction, or is otherwise beneficial to the employee. Where an award is cancelled by the entity or by the counterparty, any remaining element of the fair value of the award is expensed immediately through profit or loss.

The dilutive effect of outstanding options is reflected as additional share dilution in the computation of diluted earnings per share (further details are given in Note 9).

| (v) | Development properties

Development properties are properties acquired or being constructed for sale in the ordinary course of business, rather than to be held for the Group’s own use, rental or capital appreciation.

Development properties are held as other asset and are measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value.

Costs to complete development include cost of land and other direct and related development expenditure, including borrowing costs incurred in developing the properties.

Net realizable value of development properties is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, based on market prices at the reporting date and discounted for the time value of money if material, less the estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale.

The costs of development properties recognized in profit or loss on disposal are determined with reference to the specific costs incurred on the property sold and an allocation of any non-specific costs based on the relative size of the property sold.

| (w) | Derivative financial instruments

Initial recognition and subsequent measurement

The Group uses derivative financial instruments, such as forward currency contracts, to hedge its foreign currency risks. Such derivative financial instruments are initially recognized at fair value on the date on which a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently re-measured at fair value through profit or loss. Derivatives are carried as financial assets when the fair value is positive and as financial liabilities when the fair value is negative.

2.4 | Changes in accounting policies and disclosures

New and amended standards and interpretations

The Group applied for the first-time certain standards and amendments, which are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2020. The Group has not early adopted any other standard, interpretation or amendment that has been issued but is not yet effective.

Amendments to IFRS 3 Definition of a Business

The amendment to IFRS 3 Business Combinations clarifies that to be considered a business, an integrated set of activities and assets must include, at a minimum, an input and a substantive process that, together, significantly contribute to the ability to create output. Furthermore, it clarifies that a business can exist without including all of the inputs and processes needed to create outputs. These amendments had no impact on the consolidated financial statements of the Group, but may impact future periods should the Group enter into any business combinations.

Amendments to IFRS 7, IFRS 9 and IAS 39 Interest Rate Benchmark Reform

The amendments to IFRS 9 and IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement provide a number of reliefs, which apply to all hedging relationships that are directly affected by interest rate benchmark reform. A hedging relationship is affected if the reform gives rise to uncertainty about the timing and/or amount of benchmark-based cash flows of the hedged item or the hedging instrument. These amendments have no impact on the consolidated financial statements of the Group as it does not have any interest rate hedge relationships.

Amendments to IAS 1 and IAS 8 Definition of Material

The amendments provide a new definition of material that states, “information is material if omitting, misstating or obscuring it could reasonably be expected to influence decisions that the primary users of general purpose financial statements make on the basis of those financial statements, which provide financial information about a specific reporting entity.” The amendments clarify that materiality will depend on the nature or magnitude of information, either individually or in combination with other information, in the context of the financial statements. A misstatement of information is material if it could reasonably be expected to influence decisions made by the primary users. These amendments had no impact on the consolidated financial statements of, nor is there expected to be any future impact, to the Group.

Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting issued on March 29, 2018

The Conceptual Framework is not a standard, and none of the concepts contained therein override the concepts or requirements in any standard. The purpose of the Conceptual Framework is to assist the IASB in developing standards, to help preparers develop consistent accounting policies where there is no applicable standard in place and to assist all parties to understand and interpret the standards. This will affect those entities which developed their accounting policies based on the Conceptual Framework. The revised Conceptual Framework includes some new concepts, updated definitions and recognition criteria for assets and liabilities and clarifies some important concepts. These amendments had no impact on the consolidated financial statements of the Group.

2.5 | Standards issued but not yet effective

The new and amended standards and interpretations that are issued, but not yet effective are disclosed below. The Group intends to adopt these new and amended standards and interpretations, if applicable, when they become effective.

Amendments to IFRS 17 Insurance Contracts

In June 2020, the IASB issued Amendments to IFRS 17 Insurance Contracts (“IFRS 17”), a comprehensive new accounting standard for insurance contracts covering recognition and measurement, presentation and disclosure. Once effective, IFRS 17 will replace IFRS 4 Insurance Contracts (“IFRS 4”) that was issued in 2005. IFRS 17 applies to all types of insurance contracts (i.e., life, non-life, direct insurance and re-insurance), regardless of the type of entities that issue them, as well as to certain guarantees and financial instruments with discretionary participation features. A few scope exceptions will apply. The overall objective of IFRS 17 is to provide an accounting model for insurance contracts that is more useful and consistent for insurers. In contrast to the requirements in IFRS 4, which are largely based on grandfathering previous local accounting policies, IFRS 17 provides a comprehensive model for insurance contracts, covering all relevant accounting aspects. The core of IFRS 17 is the general model, supplemented by:

| • |  | A specific adaptation for contracts with direct participation features (the variable fee approach)

| • |  | A simplified approach (the premium allocation approach) mainly for short-duration contracts

IFRS 17 is effective for reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2023, with comparative figures required. Early application is permitted, provided the entity also applies IFRS 9 and IFRS 15 on or before the date it first applies IFRS 17. This standard is not applicable to the Group.

Interest Rate Benchmark Reform – Phase 2 – Amendments to IFRS 9, IAS 39, IFRS 7, IFRS 4 and IFRS 16

On August 27, 2020, the IASB published Interest Rate Benchmark Reform – Phase 2, Amendments to IFRS 9, IAS 39, IFRS 7, IFRS 4 and IFRS 16. With publication of the phase two amendments, the IASB has completed its work in response to IBOR reform.

The amendments provide temporary reliefs which address the financial reporting effects when an interbank offered rate (IBOR) is replaced with an alternative nearly risk-free interest rate (“RFR”).

The amendments include a practical expedient to require contractual changes, or changes to cash flows that are directly required by the reform, to be treated as changes to a floating interest rate, equivalent to a movement in a market rate of interest. Inherent in allowing the use of this practical expedient is the requirement that the transition from an IBOR benchmark rate to an RFR takes place on an economically equivalent basis with no value transfer having occurred. The practical expedient is required for entities applying IFRS 4 that are using the exemption from IFRS 9 (and, therefore, apply IAS 39) and for IFRS 16 Leases, to lease modifications required by IBOR reform.

The amendments permit changes required by IBOR reform to be made to hedge designations and hedge documentation without the hedging relationship being discontinued. Permitted changes include redefining the hedged risk to reference an RFR and redefining the description of the hedging instruments and/or the hedged item to reflect the RFR. Entities are allowed until the end of the reporting period, during which a modification required by IBOR reform is made, to complete the changes.

The amendments provide temporary relief to entities from having to meet the separately identifiable requirement when an RFR instrument is designated as a hedge of a risk component. The relief allows entities upon designation of the hedge, to assume that separately identifiable requirement is met, provided the entity reasonably expects the RFR risk component to become separately identifiable within the next 24 months.

Additional disclosures

IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures includes the following:

Amendments to IAS 1: Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-current

In January 2020, the IASB issued amendments to paragraphs 69 to 76 of IAS 1 to specify the requirements for classifying liabilities as current or non-current. The amendments clarify:

| • |  | What is meant by a right to defer settlement

| • |  | That a right to defer must exist at the end of the reporting period

| • |  | That classification is unaffected by the likelihood that an entity will exercise its deferral right

| • |  | That only if an embedded derivative in a convertible liability is itself an equity instrument would the terms of a liability not impact its classification

The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2023 and must be applied retrospectively. The Group is currently assessing the impact the amendments will have on current practice and whether existing loan agreements may require renegotiation.

Reference to the Conceptual Framework – Amendments to IFRS 3

In May 2020, the IASB issued Amendments to IFRS 3 Business Combinations - Reference to the Conceptual Framework. The amendments are intended to replace a reference to the Framework for the Preparation and Presentation of Financial Statements, issued in 1989, with a reference to the Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting issued in March 2018 without significantly changing its requirements.

The Board also added an exception to the recognition principle of IFRS 3 to avoid the issue of potential “day 2” gains or losses arising for liabilities and contingent liabilities that would be within the scope of IAS 37 or IFRIC 21 Levies, if incurred separately.

At the same time, the Board decided to clarify existing guidance in IFRS 3 for contingent assets that would not be affected by replacing the reference to the Framework for the Preparation and Presentation of Financial Statements.

The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2022 and apply prospectively. The amendments are not expected to have a material impact on the Group.

Property, Plant and Equipment: Proceeds before Intended Use – Amendments to IAS 16

In May 2020, the IASB issued Property, Plant and Equipment — Proceeds before Intended Use, which prohibits entities deducting from the cost of an item of property, plant and equipment, any proceeds from selling items produced while bringing that asset to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management. Instead, an entity recognizes the proceeds from selling such items, and the costs of producing those items, in profit or loss.

The amendment is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2022 and must be applied retrospectively to items of property, plant and equipment made available for use on or after the beginning of the earliest period presented when the entity first applies the amendment. The amendments are not expected to have a material impact on the Group.

Onerous Contracts – Costs of Fulfilling a Contract – Amendments to IAS 37

In May 2020, the IASB issued amendments to IAS 37 to specify which costs an entity needs to include when assessing whether a contract is onerous or loss-making.

The amendments apply a “directly related cost approach”. The costs that relate directly to a contract to provide goods or services include both incremental costs and an allocation of costs directly related to contract activities. General and administrative costs do not relate directly to a contract and are excluded unless they are explicitly chargeable to the counterparty under the contract.

The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2022. The Group will apply these amendments to contracts for which it has not yet fulfilled all its obligations at the beginning of the annual reporting period in which it first applies the amendments. The amendments are not expected to have a material impact on the Group.

IFRS 1 First-time Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards – Subsidiary as a first-time adopter

As part of its 2018-2020 annual improvements to IFRS standards process, the IASB issued an amendment to IFRS 1 First-time Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards. The amendment permits a subsidiary that elects to apply paragraph D16(a) of IFRS 1 to measure cumulative translation differences using the amounts reported by the parent, based on the parent’s date of transition to IFRS. This amendment is also applied to an associate or joint venture that elects to apply paragraph D16(a) of IFRS 1.

The amendment is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2022 with earlier adoption permitted. The amendments are not expected to have a material impact on the Group.

IFRS 9 Financial Instruments – Fees in the “10 per cent” test for de-recognition of financial liabilities

As part of its 2018-2020 annual improvements to IFRS standards process the IASB issued amendment to IFRS 9. The amendment clarifies the fees that an entity includes when assessing whether the terms of a new or modified financial liability are substantially different from the terms of the original financial liability. These fees include only those paid or received between the borrower and the lender, including fees paid or received by either the borrower or lender on the other’s behalf. An entity applies the amendment to financial liabilities that are modified or exchanged on or after the beginning of the annual reporting period in which the entity first applies the amendment.

The amendment is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2022 with earlier adoption permitted. The Group will apply the amendments to financial liabilities that are modified or exchanged on or after the beginning of the annual reporting period in which the entity first applies the amendment.

The amendments are not expected to have a material impact on the Group.

Amendments to IFRS 16 Covid-19 Related Rent Concessions

On March 31, 2021, the IASB issued Covid-19-Related Rent Concessions - amendment to IFRS 16 Leases. The amendments provide relief to lessees from applying IFRS 16 guidance on lease modification accounting for rent concessions arising as a direct consequence of the Covid-19 pandemic. A lessee may elect not to assess whether a Covid-19 related rent concession from a lessor is a lease modification, if all the following conditions are met:

| • |  | The change in lease payments results in revised consideration for the lease that is substantially the same as, or less than, the consideration for the lease immediately preceding the change;

| • |  | Any reduction in lease payments affects only payments originally due on or before June 30, 2022; and

| • |  | There is no substantive change to other terms and conditions of the lease.

The amendment applies to annual reporting periods beginning on or after April 1, 2021. Earlier application is permitted. The amendments are not expected to have a material impact on the Group.

IAS 41 Agriculture – Taxation in fair value measurements

As part of its 2018-2020 annual improvements to IFRS standards process the IASB issued amendment to IAS 41 Agriculture. The amendment removes the requirement in paragraph 22 of IAS 41 that entities exclude cash flows for taxation when measuring the fair value of assets within the scope of IAS 41.

An entity applies the amendment prospectively to fair value measurements on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after January 1, 2022 with earlier adoption permitted. This standard is not applicable to the Group.

3. | Significant accounting judgments, estimates and assumptions

The preparation of the Group’s consolidated financial statements requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities, the accompanying disclosures, and the disclosure of contingent liabilities. Uncertainty about these assumptions and estimates could result in outcomes that require a material adjustment to the carrying amount of assets or liabilities affected in future periods.

Other disclosures relating to the Group’s exposure to risks and uncertainties includes:

| • |  | Capital management (Note 32)

| • |  | Financial risk management objectives and policies (Note 31)

| • |  | Sensitivity analyses disclosures (Note 12 and 31)

3. | Significant accounting judgments, estimates and assumptions (cont’d)

3.1 | Judgments

In the process of applying the Group’s accounting policies, management has made the following judgments, which have the most significant effect on the amounts recognized in the consolidated financial statements:

Revenue from Contracts with Customers

The Group applied the following judgments that significantly affect the determination of the amount and timing of revenue from contracts with customers:

| • |  | Identifying contract price and performance obligations in sales of engines

The Group provides certain warranties for both general repairs and maintenance service as part of the sales of engines. For general repairs, such warranties will be assurance-type warranty that will continue to be accounted for under IAS 37 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets. For maintenance services, it will be accounted for as a service-type warranties that are capable of being distinct and customers can benefit from the service on its own. Hence, the Group identified two separate performance obligation, one is the promise to transfer the engine and the other one is to provide maintenance services after reaching certain on-road mileage or running hours. Consequently, the Group allocated a portion of the transaction price to the engines and the maintenance services based on a combination of expected cost plus a margin and residual approaches.

Derecognition of bills receivable

The Group sell bills receivable to banks on an ongoing basis depending on funding needs and money market conditions. While the buyer is responsible for servicing the receivables upon maturity of the bills receivable, Chinese law governing bills allows recourse to be traced to all the parties in the discounting process. In relation to the derecognition of bills receivable when discounted, the management believes that the contractual right to receive the cash flows from the asset have terminated with the Group, but transferred to the banks. Accordingly, bills receivable are derecognized, and a discount equal to the difference between the carrying value of the bills receivable and cash received is recorded in the statement of profit or loss. Please refer to Note 15.

Deferred tax assets

Deferred tax assets are recognized for unused tax losses to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the losses can be utilized. Significant management judgment is required to determine the amount of deferred tax assets that can be recognized, based upon the likely timing and the level of future taxable profits together with future tax planning strategies. The carrying amounts of deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2019 and 2020 are RMB 423.0 million and RMB 400.2 million (US$61.8 million) respectively, and primarily relate to unutilized capital allowances and investment allowances, as well as other unrecognized temporary differences relating to asset impairment and deferred grants. If the Group was able to recognize all unrecognized deferred tax assets, profit would increase by RMB 157.6 million (US$24.3 million) for year ended December 31, 2020 (2019: RMB 162.0 million).

Development costs

Development costs are capitalized in accordance with the accounting policy in Note 2.3 (l). Capitalization of development costs is based on management’s judgement to determine what constitutes development activities, and when a development project moves from the research phase into development phase. In addition, management’s judgement is required to determine the nature of the expenses that qualify for capitalization.

3.2 | Estimates and assumptions

The key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the reporting date, that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year, are described below. The Group based its assumptions and estimates on parameters available when the consolidated financial statements were prepared. Existing circumstances and assumptions about future developments, however, may change due to market changes or circumstances arising that are beyond the control of the Group. Such changes are reflected in the assumptions when they occur.

3.2 | Estimates and assumptions (cont’d)

Impairment of non-financial assets

Impairment exists when the carrying value of an asset or cash-generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount, which is the higher of its fair value less costs of disposal and its value in use. The fair value less costs of disposal calculation is based on available data from binding sales transactions, conducted at arm’s length, for similar assets or observable market prices less incremental costs for disposing of the asset. The value in use calculation is based on a discounted cash flow (“DCF”) model. The cash flows are derived from the forecasts for the next eight to ten years and do not include restructuring activities that the Group is not yet committed to or significant future investments that will enhance the asset’s performance of the CGU being tested. The Group, based on its history of operations, believes that the adoption of forecast for more than five years is reasonable. The recoverable amount is sensitive to the discount rate used for the DCF model as well as the expected future cash-inflows and the growth rate used for extrapolation purposes. These estimates are most relevant to goodwill, development costs and trademarks recognized by the Group. The key assumptions used to determine the recoverable amount for the different CGUs and assets, including a sensitivity analysis, are disclosed and further explained in Note 12.

The Group assess impairment of investments when adverse events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts may not be recoverable. If the recoverable amount of investment is below its carrying amount, an impairment charge is recognized. The Group performs evaluation of the value of its investment using a discounted cash flows projection or fair value less cost of disposal where appropriate. The projection will be performed using historical trends as a reference and certain assumptions to project the future streams of cash flows.

In 2019 and 2020, the Group has performed an impairment evaluation of its investments in joint ventures and no impairment was required.

|  | RMB’000 |  |  | RMB’000 |  |  | US$’000 |

December 31 |  |  | (106,922 | ) |  |  | (112,456 | ) |  |  | (17,378 | )

The Corporate Income Tax (“CIT”) law provides for a tax of 10% to be withheld from dividends paid to foreign investors of PRC enterprises. This withholding tax provision does not apply to dividends paid out of profit earned prior to January 1, 2008. Beginning on January 1, 2008, a 10% withholding tax is imposed on dividends paid to the Company, as a non-resident enterprise, unless an applicable tax treaty provides for a lower tax rate. The Company recognizes a deferred tax liability for withholding tax payable for profits accumulated after December 31, 2007 for the earnings that the Company does not plan to indefinitely reinvest in the PRC enterprises. As of December 31, 2020, the deferred tax liability for withholding tax payable was RMB 112.5 million (US$17.4 million) (2019: RMB 106.9 million). The amount of unrecognized deferred tax liability relating to undistributed earnings of the PRC enterprises is estimated to be RMB 236.4 million (US$36.5 million) (2019: RMB 253.5 million).

Deferred tax assets have not been recognized in respect of the following items:

|  | 31.12.2019 |  |  | 31.12.2020 |  |  | 31.12.2020 |
|  | RMB’000 |  |  | RMB’000 |  |  | US$’000 |
Unutilized tax losses |  |  | 414,226 |  |  |  | 404,215 |  |  |  | 62,463 |
Unutilized capital allowances and investment allowances |  |  | 107,613 |  |  |  | 105,622 |  |  |  | 16,322 |
Other unrecognized temporary differences relating to asset impairment and deferred grants |  |  | 215,296 |  |  |  | 204,423 |  |  |  | 31,589 |
|  |  | 737,135 |  |  |  | 714,260 |  |  |  | 110,374 |

Unrecognized tax losses for the Group are subject to agreement with the tax authorities and compliance with tax regulations in the respective countries in which the Group operates. The unutilized tax losses for PRC subsidiaries and Malaysia subsidiaries expire within the next 5 years and 7 years, respectively. These losses may not be used to offset taxable income elsewhere in the Group. Deferred tax assets have not been recognized in respect of these items because it is not probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the Group can utilize the benefits.

Diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit attributable to ordinary equity holders of the parent by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the year plus the weighted average number of ordinary shares that would be issued on conversion of all the dilutive potential ordinary shares into ordinary shares.

Basic earnings per share

The calculation of basic earnings per share is based on:

|  | 31.12.2018 |  |  | 31.12.2019 |  |  | 31.12.2020 |  |  | 31.12.2020 |
|  | RMB’000 |  |  | RMB’000 |  |  | RMB’000 |  |  | US$’000 |
Profit attributable to ordinary equity holders of the parent |  |  | 695,266 |  |  |  | 604,914 |  |  |  | 548,903 |  |  |  | 84,821 |
Weighted average number of ordinary shares |  |  | 40,858,290 |  |  |  | 40,858,290 |  |  |  | 40,858,290 |  |  |  | 40,858,290 |

Diluted earnings per share

The weighted average number of ordinary shares adjusted for the effect of unissued ordinary shares under the Share Option Scheme is determined as follows:

|  | 31.12.2018 |  |  | 31.12.2019 |  |  | 31.12.2020 |
Weighted average number of shares issued, used in the calculation of basic earnings per share |  |  | 40,858,290 |  |  |  | 40,858,290 |  |  |  | 40,858,290 |
Diluted effect of share options |  |  | — |  |  |  | — |  |  |  | — |
Weighted average number of ordinary shares adjusted for effect of dilution |  |  | 40,858,290 |  |  |  | 40,858,290 |  |  |  | 40,858,290 |

In 2020, 470,000 (2019: 470,000; 2018: 470,000) share options granted to employees under the existing employee share option plan have not been included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share because they are anti-dilutive.

There have been no other transactions involving ordinary shares or potential ordinary share since the reporting date and before the completion of these financial statements.

Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of purchase consideration over fair value of net assets of businesses acquired.

Goodwill acquired through business combinations have been allocated to two cash-generating units for impairment testing as follows:

| • |  | Yuchai

| • |  | Yulin Hotel. Goodwill allocated to Yulin Hotel was fully impaired in 2008.

Carrying amount of goodwill allocated to the cash-generating unit:

|  | 31.12.2019 |  |  | 31.12.2020 |  |  | 31.12.2020 |
|  | RMB’000 |  |  | RMB’000 |  |  | US$’000 |
Yuchai |  |  | 212,636 |  |  |  | 212,636 |  |  |  | 32,858 |

Yuchai unit

The Group performs its impairment test annually. The recoverable amount of the unit was determined based on a value in use calculation using cash flow projections from financial budgets approved by senior management covering a ten-year period. The business of Yuchai is stable since the Group has control in 1994 and the business model of Yuchai is unlikely to change in the foreseeable future. The pre-tax discount rate applied to the cash flow projections was 12.37% (2019: 13.32%) and cash flows beyond the ten-year period are extrapolated using a 6% growth rate (2019: 5.7%) that is the same as the long-term average growth rate for PRC. No impairment was identified for this unit.

Key assumptions used for value in use calculations

Key assumptions used in estimation of value in use were as follows:

| • |  | Profit from operation

| • |  | Discount rate

| • |  | Growth rate used to extrapolate cash flows beyond the forecast period

Profit from operation – Profit from operation is based on management’s estimate with reference to historical performance and future business outlook of Yuchai unit.

Discount rate – Discount rate reflects management’s estimate of the risks specific to the cash-generating unit and is estimated based on weighted average cost of capital (“WACC”). The WACC takes into account both debt and equity. The cost of equity is derived from the expected return on investment by the Group’s investors. The cost of debt is based on the interest-bearing borrowings the cash-generating unit is obliged to service. This rate is weighted according to the optimal debt/equity structure arrived on the basis of the capitalization structure of the peer group.

Growth rate estimate – Growth rate is based on management’s estimate with reference to general available indication of long-term gross domestic product growth rate of China. The long-term rates used to extrapolate the budget for Yuchai are 6.0% and 5.7% for 2020 and 2019 respectively.

Sensitivity to changes in assumptions

The implications of the key assumptions for the recoverable amount are discussed below:

Profit from operation – A decreased demand can lead to a decline in profit from operation. A decrease in demand by 13.99% (2019: 17.57%) would result in impairment.

Discount rate – A rise in pre-tax discount rate to 13.58% (2019: 14.79%) in the Yuchai unit would result in impairment.

Growth rate assumptions – Management recognizes that the speed of technological change and the possibility of new entrants can have a significant impact on growth rate assumptions. A reduction to 3.60% (2019: 2.40%) in the long-term growth rate in Yuchai unit would result in impairment.

With regard to the assessment of value in use of the Yuchai unit, management believes that no reasonably possible change in any of the above key assumptions would cause the recoverable amount to materially fall below the carrying value of the unit.

Technology know-how held by Jining Yuchai

At December 31, 2017, the Group has an intangible asset representing technology development costs held by Jining Yuchai with carrying amount of RMB 10.1 million.

In 2018, the development for 4Y20 engine platform was completed and the technical development costs with carrying amount of RMB 10.1 million as of December 31, 2017 was reclassified as the Group’s technology know-how.

In late 2018, the Group has commenced the production of 4Y20 engine. Since 2019 the production volume has gradually ramped up to meet the market demand and management believe that there is no indicator for further impairment in 2019 and 2020. Management has also considered there is no significant changes in the market and economic that will have a favorable effect to the recoverable amount of the intangible asset and had concluded that there is no reversal of impairment to be recognized in 2020.

Development costs

During 2019 and 2020, the Group has capitalized development costs of RMB 366.7 million and RMB 530.8 million (US$ 82.0 million), respectively, for new engines that comply with National VI and Tier 4 emission standards. As of December 31, 2020, the total capitalized development costs are RMB 1,093.4 million (US$ 169.0 million). These development costs relate to on-going development efforts and, accordingly, have not yet been available for use, and therefore no amortization charges were recorded.

In 2019 and 2020, the Group performs an impairment test on the development costs that are not available for use. No impairment has been identified. The recoverable amount was determined based on its value in use using the discounted cash flow approach. Cash flows were projected based on historical growth, past experience and management best estimation of future business outlook. In 2019, the Group used 10 years forecast and in 2020, in view of current speed of technological change, management shortened the projection period to eight years. Both the 2019 and 2020 cash flow forecasts were based on the updated financial budgets approved by the senior management with no terminal value.

Key assumptions used in estimation of value in use were as follows:

| • |  | Profit from operation – Profit from operation is based on management’s estimate with reference to historical revenue generated, growth rate and estimation of future business outlook. In 2020, the revised business plan projected 8 years, the revenue growth rate is estimated at around 10% year-on-year from 2021 to 2023 due to enforcement of implementation of new emission standard, and decrease to 5% in 2024 and 2025. Management assumed no revenue growth from 2026 to 2028 after reaching the commercial deployment of technology. In 2019, the revenue was estimated to grow significantly from 2020 to 2022, and the growth expected to decrease to 10% to 15% from 2023 to 2025, and subsequently remain at a constant growth rate of 10% from 2026 to 2029.

| • |  | Discount rate – Discount rate reflects management’s estimate of the risks specific to the cash-generating unit and is estimated based on weighted average cost of capital (“WACC”). The WACC takes into account both debt and equity. The cost of equity is derived from the expected return on investment by the Group’s investors. The cost of debt is based on the interest-bearing borrowings the cash-generating unit is obliged to service. This rate is weighted according to the optimal debt/equity structure arrived on the basis of the capitalization structure of the peer group. The Group has applied a pre-tax discount rate of 12.37% (2019: 13.32%).

Profit from operation – A decreased demand can lead to a decline in profit from operation. A decrease in demand by 25.94% (2019: 4.53%) would result in impairment.

Discount rate – A rise in pre-tax discount rate to 20.05% (2019: 14.13%) would result in impairment.

With regard to the assessment of value in use, management believes that no reasonably possible change in any of the above key assumptions would cause the recoverable amount to materially fall below the carrying value.

Trademarks

In 2019, Yuchai entered into a trademark license agreement with GY Group under which Yuchai was granted the exclusive and perpetual use of the trademarks listed in the trademark license agreement for a one-time usage fee of RMB 169.8 million.

Management has assessed and concluded that the right granted by the trademark license, according to the terms and conditions of the trademark license agreement, is indefinite.

In 2019 and 2020, the Group performed an annual impairment review by taking Yuchai as a cash – generating unit. Using the same cash flow projection and assumptions for goodwill impairment test disclosed above, management concluded that no impairment charge is to be recognized in 2019 and 2020.

21. | Share-based payment

The Company’s Equity Incentive Plan (“Equity Plan”) was approved by the shareholders at the Annual General Meeting of the Company held on July 4, 2014 for duration of 10 years (from July 29, 2014 to July 28, 2024).

All options granted under the Equity Plan are subject to a vesting schedule as follows:

| (1) | one year after the date of grant for up to 33% of the shares over which the options are exercisable;

| (2) | two years after the date of grant for up to 66% (including (1) above) of the shares over which the options are exercisable; and

| (3) | three years after the date of grant for up to 100% (including (1) and (2) above) of the shares over which the options are exercisable.

In 2020, there was no expense arising from equity-settled share-based payment transactions. (2018: Nil; 2019: Nil).

Movements during the year

The following table illustrates the number and weighted average exercise prices (“WAEP”) of, and movements in share options during the year:

|  | Number of share options |  |  | WAEP |  |  | Number of share options |  |  | WAEP |
|  | 31.12.2019 |  |  | 31.12.2019 |  |  | 31.12.2020 |  |  | 31.12.2020 |
Outstanding at January 1 and December 31 |  |  | 470,000 |  |  | US$ | 21.11 |  |  |  | 470,000 |  |  | US$ | 21.11 |
Exercisable at December 31 |  |  | 470,000 |  |  | US$ | 21.11 |  |  |  | 470,000 |  |  | US$ | 21.11 |

The fair value of services received in return for share options granted are measured by reference to the fair value of share options granted. The estimate of the fair value of the services received is measured based on the Black-Scholes model. The expected life used in the model has been adjusted, based on management’s best estimate, for the effects of non-transferability, exercise restrictions and behavioral considerations.

Fair value of share options and assumptions

Date of grant of options |  | On July 29, 2014
Fair value at measurement date (US$) |  | 5.70 – 6.74
Share price (US$) |  | 21.11
Exercise price (US$) |  | 21.11
Expected volatility (%) |  | 47.4
Expected option life (years) |  | 3.5 – 5.5
Expected dividends (%) |  | 5.81
Risk-free interest rate (%) |  | 1.4 – 2.0

The exercise price for options outstanding as of December 31, 2020 was US$21.11 dollar (2019: US$21.11 dollar).

The weighted average remaining contractual life for the share options outstanding as of December 31, 2020 was 3.6 (2019: 4.6) years.

The expected volatility reflects the assumption that the historical volatility over a period similar to the life of the options is indicative of future trends, which may not necessarily be the actual outcome.

There are no market conditions associated with the share options granted. Service conditions and non-market performance conditions are not taken into account in the measurement of the fair value of the service to be received at the grant date.

Investment commitments

As of December 31, 2019 and 2020, the Group has commitment of RMB 17.6 million and RMB 17.6 million (US$2.7 million) relating to the Group’s interest in joint venture, respectively.

Letter of credits

As of December 31, 2019 and 2020, Yuchai had issued irrevocable letter of credits of RMB 30.8 million and RMB 54.4 million (US$8.4 million), respectively.

Product liability

The General Principles of the Civil Law of the People’s Republic of China imposes that manufacturers and sellers are liable for loss and injury caused by defective products. Yuchai and its subsidiaries do not carry product liability insurance. Yuchai and its subsidiaries have not had any significant product liability claims brought against them.

Environmental liability

China adopted its Environmental Protection Law in 1989, and the State Council and the Ministry of Ecology and Environment (formerly known as the Ministry of Environmental Protection) promulgate regulations as required from time to time. The Environmental Protection Law addresses issues relating to environmental quality, waste disposal and emissions, including air, water and noise emissions. Environmental regulations have not had a material impact on Yuchai’s results of operations. Yuchai delivers, on a regular basis, burned sand and certain other waste products to a waste disposal site approved by the local government and makes payments in respect thereof. Yuchai expects that environmental standards and their enforcement in China will, as in many other countries, become more stringent over time, especially as technical advances make achievement of higher standards more feasible. Yuchai has built an air filter system to reduce the level of dust and fumes resulting from its production of diesel engines.

Yuchai is subject to Chinese national and local environmental protection regulations which currently impose fees for the discharge of waste substances, require the payment of fines for pollution, and provide for the closure by the Chinese government of any facility that fails to comply with orders requiring Yuchai to cease or improve upon certain activities causing environmental damage. Due to the nature of its business, Yuchai produces certain amounts of waste water, gas, and solid waste materials during the course of its production. Yuchai believes its environmental protection facilities and systems are adequate for it to comply with the existing national, provincial and local environmental protection regulations. However, Chinese national, provincial or local authorities may impose additional or more stringent regulations which would require additional expenditure on environmental matters or changes in Yuchai’s processes or systems.

Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Group’s exposure to the risk of changes in market interest rates relates primarily to the Group’s interest-bearing bank deposits and loans and borrowings from banks and financial institutions. The interest-bearing loans and borrowings of the Group are disclosed in Note 26(b). As certain interest rates are based on interbank offer rates, the Group is exposed to cash flow interest rate risk. This risk is not hedged. Interest-bearing bank deposits are short to medium-term in nature but given the significant cash and bank balances held by the Group, any variation in the interest rates may have a material impact on the results of the Group.

The Group manages its interest rate risk by having a mixture of fixed and variable rates for its deposits and borrowings.

Interest rate sensitivity

The sensitivity analyses below have been determined based on the exposure to interest rates for bank deposits and interest-bearing financial liabilities at the end of the reporting period and the stipulated change taking place at the beginning of the year and held constant throughout the reporting period in the case of instruments that have floating rates. A 50 basis points increase or decrease is used and represents management’s assessment of the possible change in interest rates.

If interest rate had been 50 (2019: 50) basis points higher or lower and all other variables were held constant, the profit before tax for the year ended December 31, 2020 of the Group would increase/decrease by RMB 20.9 million (US$3.2 million) (2019: increase/decrease by RMB 21.4 million).

Foreign currency risk

Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of an exposure will fluctuate because of changes in foreign exchange rates. The Group’s exposure to the risk of changes in foreign exchange rates relates primarily to the Group’s sales, purchases and financial liabilities that are denominated in currencies other than the respective functional currencies of entities within the Group. The Group also holds cash and bank balances and other investments denominated in foreign currencies. The currencies giving rise to this risk are primarily the Singapore Dollar, Renminbi, US Dollar and Euro.

Foreign currency translation exposure is managed by incurring debt in the operating currency so that where possible operating cash flows can be primarily used to repay obligations in the local currency. This also has the effect of minimizing the exchange differences recorded against income, as the exchange differences on the net investment are recorded directly against equity.

Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk that a counterparty will not meet its obligations under a financial instrument or customer contract, leading to a financial loss. The Group is exposed to credit risk from its operating activities (primarily trade receivables) and from its financing activities, including deposits with banks and financial institutions, foreign exchange transactions and other financial instruments.

Trade receivables

Customer credit risk is managed by each business unit subject to the Group’s established policy, procedures and control relating to customer credit risk management. Credit limits are established for all customers based on internal rating criteria.

Management has a credit policy in place and the exposure to credit risk is monitored on an ongoing basis. Credit evaluations are performed for all customers requiring credit over a certain amount.

An impairment analysis is performed at each reporting date using a provision matrix. The provision rates are determined based on days past due for groupings of various customer segments with similar loss patterns (i.e. by profiles of the customers). The calculation reflects the reasonable and supportable information that is available at the reporting date about past events, current conditions and forecasts of future economic conditions. Generally, trade receivables are written-off at management’s discretion after assessment and are not subject to enforcement activity. The maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date is the carrying value of each class of financial assets disclosed in Note 15. The Group’s share of bills receivables of a joint venture which was used as collateral as security is disclosed in Note 5.
