Annotations:

 

I. Explanatory Notes:

 

1. Total Profits: refer to the surplus realized by a business after subtracting all costs incurred throughout the production process, reflecting the total profits and losses over the reporting period.

 

2. Business Revenue: refers to the inflow of economic benefits from the production and operation of enterprises, such as selling goods, providing labor services and transferring the right to use assets, including the total amount of revenue of enterprises recognized by the principal business and other business operations.

 

3. Business Costs: refers to the actual costs throughout the production process of enterprises such as selling goods, providing labor services and transferring the right to use assets, including the total amount of costs of enterprises incurred by the principal business and other business operations. Business costs should be matched with business revenue.

 

4. Total Assets: refers to the resources which are gotten from past transactions or events, owned or controlled by enterprises, and expected to bring economic benefits to the enterprises.

 

5. Total Liabilities: refers to the current obligation generated from past transactions or events, and expected an outflow of economic benefits from the enterprises.

 

6. Total Owners' Equity: refers to the residual interests after deducting liabilities, which belongs to the enterprise’s owners.

 

7. Accounts Receivable: refers to the amount that should be collected by an enterprise for its business activities, such as selling goods and providing services, measured at amortized cost on the balance sheet date.

 

8. Inventory of Finished Goods: refers to manufactured products which are ready for sale by the end of the reporting period.

 

9. Profit Rate of Business Revenue = total profits / business revenue × 100%, unit: %.

 

10. Costs for per-hundred-yuan Business Revenue = the business costs / the business revenue ×100, unit: yuan.

 

11. Expenses for per-hundred-yuan Business Revenue = (selling expenses + administrative expenses + development expenses + financial expenses) / the business revenue ×100, unit: yuan.

 

12. Business Revenue Brought by per Hundred-yuan Assets = the business revenue / average assets / the cumulative number of months × 12 × 100, unit: yuan.

 

13. Per Capita Business Revenue = business revenue / average number of employment / the cumulative number of months × 12, unit: 10 thousand yuan/ person.

 

14. Asset-Liability Ratio = total liabilities / total assets × 100%, unit: %.

 

15. Turnover Days of Finished Goods = 360 × average finished goods / business costs × the cumulative number of months / 12, unit: days.

 

16. Average Collection Period for Accounts Receivable = 360 × average accounts receivable / business revenue × the cumulative number of months / 12, unit: days.

 

17. In the columns of year-on-year growth rate of the three tables above, the “note” refers to negative total profits in the same period last year, which means loss; the positive value refers to a year-on-year increase of profits; the negative value which is greater than or equal to -100% refers to a year-on-year decrease of profits; the value less than -100% indicates turning gain in the same period last year into loss in current period; and the value of 0 indicates that the profits remain at the same level year on year.

 

II. The growth rates of the total profits and revenue from activities of industrial enterprises above designated size are calculated on a comparable basis. There are incomparable factors between the data in the reporting period and the same indicator data published in the previous year, which cannot be directly compared to calculate the growth rate. The main reasons are: (1) According to the statistical system, the survey coverage of industrial enterprises above designated size is adjusted regularly every year. Each year, some enterprises will be included in the survey after having reached the requisite size, and some will exit the survey due to their smaller scale, and there are also the effects of enterprises that are newly established, bankrupt and enterprises with their business licenses cancelled (revoked). (2) By strengthening the statistical law enforcement, the enterprises found in the statistical law enforcement inspection that do not meet the statistics requirements for industrial enterprises above the designated size have been cleared, and relevant bases have been revised in accordance with regulations. (3) Strengthen data quality management and eliminate the cross-regional and cross-industry repeated calculation.

 

III. Statistical Coverage

 

Industrial enterprises above the designated size refer to industrial enterprises with revenue from principal activities over 20 million yuan.

 

IV. Survey Method

 

The financial report of enterprises above the designated size conducts complete survey by month (the data on January are not required to report).

 

V. Industries Classification Standard

 

The National Industrial Classification of All Economic Activities (GB/T4754-2017) was performed.
