III Business Overview
I. Principal operations of the Company during the Reporting Period
Whether the Company needs to comply with the disclosure requirements of specific industriesNo(I) Principal operations of the Company during the reporting PeriodThe Company is a large conglomerate principally engaged in pulp production, paper making, finance and fibre while also developingforestry, mining and logistics. The Company is the only listed company with A shares, B shares, H shares and preference shares in issue inthe PRC, the first industrial and financing company in the industry having a finance company and a financial leasing company and among thetop 100 listed companies of the PRC, having maintained a leading position among its industry peers for over 20 consecutive years in terms ofits main indicators of corporate economic efficiency. The machine-made paper business is the principal business of the Company while themachine-made paper business and financial leasing business are the main sources of revenue and profit of the Company. During the reportingperiod, there was no significant change in the principal operations of the Company.The Company is a leading player in the paper making industry in China. Since its establishment, the Company has abided by thecorporate mission of “revitalizing the national paper-making industry” and the corporate vision of building "a RMB100 billion companywith a history of 100 years". Deepening in its principal business of paper making, the Company has established production bases inShandong, Guangdong, Hubei, Jiangxi and Jilin with annual pulp and paper production capacity of over 10 million tonnes. It has the largestintegrated forestry, pulp and paper project with the most advanced technology in the world and dozens of pulp and paper production lines ofinternational advanced standards. The product mix of the Company has gradually diversified into eight major product series which focus onhigh and middle end products, including high-end offset paper, coated paper, white paper board, light weight coated paper, household paper,electrostatic copy paper, thermal paper and glassine paper, with each major product ranking among the best in terms of market share. TheCompany has the most diversified and complete set of product offering among the paper-making companies of the PRC, with considerablemarket competitiveness, bargaining power and risk resistance capacity.The Company has scientific research institutions including the national enterprise technology centre, the postdoctoral working station aswell as state certified CNAS pulp and paper testing centre and has obtained over 150 national patents including 12 patents for invention, with7 products selected as national new products and 35 products filling the gap in China. The Company has obtained 21 Science andTechnology Progress Awards above the provincial level and undertaken five national science and technology projects and 26 provincialtechnological innovation projects. The Company has obtained the ISO9001 quality certification, ISO14001 environmental protectioncertification and FSC-COC certification, leading among its industry peers.Relying on strong capital strength of the Company and leveraging its excellent business project design ability, strong ability in creditintegration and outstanding risk control capability while giving full play to the advantages of internationalisation and market-orientedoperations, Chenming Leasing has been seeking the organic combination between industrial capital and financial capital and, on the basis ofserving the upper- and lower-stream of the paper making industry, actively provides financing and value-added service solutions to largestate-owned enterprises, listed companies, government financing platforms, quality private enterprises, new and high-tech enterprises,schools and hospitals, thus greatly promoting the healthy and rapid development of the real economy.(II) General information of the industries where the Company operated in during the reporting periodThe paper making industry is an important basic raw materials industry which is closely related to the national economy and socialdevelopment. In recent years, the supply and demand of the paper making industry grew at a steady pace, creating a relatively stableproduction and marketing environment. According to the 2017 Annual Report of the Paper Making Industry of China (《中國造紙業2017年年度報告》), in 2017, there were approximately 2,800 companies engaged in the production and paper and paper board in the PRC, with anationwide paper and paper board production volume of 111,300,000 tonnes, representing a year-on-year increase of 2.53%; and aconsumption volume of 108,970,000 tonnes, representing a year-on-year increase of 4.59%.Since the implementation of the “Thirteenth Five Year Plan”, the paper making industry has been subject to stricter environmentalrequirements with elevated government focus on “clear water and green hills”. The successive implementation of environmentalprotection inspections, licensing system for pollutant discharge and others reflected that more stringent environmental protection measureswill become a prolonged trend in the industry. Certain provinces and cities promulgated, among others, air pollution prevention programsand major pollutant emission reduction programs, signalling enhanced supervision of local governments over the pollution discharge ofpaper making companies. Driven by the supply-side reform and under the overlapping effect of stricter environment protection policies,more severe limit on import quota of waste paper and closer inspection, cost pressure will force certain small and medium-sized enterprisesto exit the market, thereby further increasing the industry concentration ratio. On the other hand, leading enterprises, with obvious costadvantages and high cost transferability, will enjoy further increase in profitability and gradual growth in market share. In particular, thelarge leading enterprises having comprehensive environmental facilities with significant economies of scale will become the actualbeneficiaries under these environmental protection policies.Since initiating the forestry, pulp and paper integration strategic layout since 2001, the Company has enjoyed relatively high wood pulpself-sufficiency rate in the domestic paper making industry. On one hand, self-produced pulp enjoys significant cost advantage overpurchased wood pulp, which enables the gross profit of the Company’s paper products to consistently rank among the top of the industry;on the other hand, the price of wood chips, the raw material for pulp making, is relatively stable, therefore, the procurement advantage ofbulk supplies and the application of ancillary logistics services have significantly reduced the logistics and transportation costs of rawmaterial and finished products, considerably increasing the Company’s cost advantage and quality stability.

X. Risk exposures of the Company and the measures to be taken
1. Risk on paper making industry
Policy riskThe paper making industry is a basic raw materials industry and its growth has been faster than the average growth of thenational economy in recent years. However, the paper making industry’s profitability is closely correlated to the economic cycle, andthe industry is therefore a cyclical industry fluctuating with the national macroeconomic performance, which will further affect theprofitability of the Company.
Hence, following the principles of scientific development and quality and efficiency enhancement, the Company willcomprehensively improve its industrial structure and regional layout through the integration between its production and manufacturesegment and financial services segment, and incorporation of smart technology into its industrial activities. The Company willemphasise on the development of leading businesses including paper making, finance and forestry so as to construct an efficientindustrial system with synergies.
Market fluctuation riskWith the rapid growth of the national economy, economic globalisation and China’s accession to the WTO, China’s paper
making industry has been facing increasingly fierce competition. Leveraging the strength and capital accumulated over the years,domestic enterprises have further expanded their sizes and improved their technological levels and product quality. Well-knownpaper making enterprises overseas have also directly set up production bases in China through sole proprietorship or joint ventures soas to participate in the domestic market competition by virtue of their advantages in size and technology. Besides, tariff reduction onChina after accession to the WTO has also further intensified the impact on the international market.
Hence, the Company will strive to enhance the quality of paper products and achieve the target of establishing a layout forhigh-end paper industry so as to increase the proportion of high-end paper. In recent years, the Company has been expanding itsbusiness size and optimising its product mix and has set up a few production lines for high-end paper. A diversified and high-endproduct mix enables the Company to spread market risk and strengthen the resistance towards market volatility. Besides, as high-endproducts have better profit margins, the Company can increase the proportion of high-end products through consistent improvementin product mix, thereby enhancing its profitability and comprehensive competitiveness.
Risk of overcapacity and slowdown in demandOvercapacity is a prominent problem in the paper making and paper product industry in China such that there has been fiercecompetition among enterprises. Since 2013, affected by slowdown in the macroeconomic growth, the demand in paper makingindustry has been weak. At the same time, as China has encouraged energy conservation and emission reduction, the backwardproduction capacity will be phased out, and the new projects will significantly realise economies of scale. By virtue of the economiesof scale in the paper making industry, the production capacity of individual paper making projects under construction and planningfor construction in China is large, which affects the demand and supply relationship in the whole paper making industry.
Hence, the Company will upgrade its equipment and its technological level, expand its product mix, improve its product qualityand focus on the research and development of high-end products so as to improve its competitiveness.
Risk of price fluctuation of raw materialsThe major raw materials used by the Company are wood pulp and waste paper. The market prices of wood pulp and waste paperfluctuate significantly. The market price fluctuation of raw material has significantly affected the production costs of the Company.In addition to intensified market competition resulting from surging capacity in the industry in recent years, the increases in prices ofa number of paper products were not in line with the increases in prices of raw materials. The market price fluctuation of rawmaterials will have an impact on the performance of the Company.
Hence, the Company will remain steadfast in the “forestry-pulp-paper integration” development path and focus on theconstruction of the Zhanjiang Chenming pulp project, the Huanggang Chenming pulp project and the Shouguang chemical pulpproject, thereby eliminating the limitations of upstream resources on the Company’s development and enhancing the Company’ssustainable development.
Risk of change in environmental protection policiesChina has been raising the standards for environmental protection in recent years. The new Environmental Protection Law tookeffect on 1 January 2015. More stringent environmental protection policies have been implemented in the paper making industry. Amulti-pronged approach has been adopted to promote industrial restructuring, and the paper making industry has entered into animportant transitional period of development. A higher emission standard is bound to increase the Company’s environmentalprotection costs and a high entry standard may result in the slowdown of scale expansion.
The Company always strives to achieve harmonious development with energy conservation and emission reduction. TheCompany will endeavour to develop the recycling economy through waste exchange and recycling and strive to maximise itsresource utilisation. Meanwhile, the Company will make greater efforts to construct environment friendly projects and strive toachieve its waste emission target.
2. Risk on financial leasing business
Policy riskRecently, the financial leasing business is regulated by the commerce departments at different levels instead of being directlyregulated by the People‘s Bank of China or China Banking Regulatory Commission. The financial leasing industry in China is still at
the exploration stage with incomplete laws and regulations. If there is any material adjustment or change in national or local policiesfor the financial leasing industry, the Company’s financial leasing business may be adversely affected, in turn harming theCompany’s profitability.
In September 2015, the General Office of the State Council promulgated the Guiding Opinions on Accelerating the Developmentof Financial Leasing Industry, which formulated comprehensive systematic planning on accelerating the development of the financialleasing industry. The financial leasing industry embraced a rare opportunity for leap-forward development. In February 2016, theGeneral Office of People’s Government of Shandong Province promulgated the Opinions of the General Office of People’sGovernment of Shandong Province on Accelerating the Development of Financial Leasing Industry by Implementing Document GuoBan Fa [2015] No. 68, formulating specific measures to refine policy measures and ensure the measures being carries out properly,which provided actual policy support for the development of the financial leasing industry in Shandong Province.
Liquidity riskIn a market economy, the macroeconomic operation tends to be in cycles and the Company is inevitably affected by thosecycles. At the same time, there is fierce competition in the financial industry and the interest margin is a main source of income forthe financial leasing business. The market interest rate is affected by the benchmark interest rate of the People’s Bank of China, themacroeconomic environment, market demand and supply and other factors, bringing uncertainties to the fluctuation of the marketinterest rate, which in turn causes uncertainties in revenue from the financial leasing business.
Hence, following the principles of scientific development and quality and efficiency enhancement, the Company willcomprehensively improve its industrial structure and regional layout through the integration between its production and manufacturesegment and financial services segment, and incorporation of smart technology into its industrial activities. The Company willemphasise on the development of leading businesses including paper making, finance and forestry so as to construct an efficientindustrial system with synergies.
Credit riskThe Company may suffer from loss if the lessees of its financial leasing business cannot make full rental payment on time due toany reason and there are abuses on equipment or any other short-term behaviour. Although the risk of such rental beingunrecoverable is minimal, the Company will also make bad debt provision as required under its accounting policy. If such amountscannot be recovered on time, the Company may be exposed to risk of bad debts.
The stringent risk management measures of Chenming Leasing provide comprehensive risk prevention and management for theCompany’s projects. Besides, the Company usually cooperates with state-owned enterprises and local governments, so it has strongrisk resistance and low risk of default. Chenming Leasing will strengthen risk management so as to enhance risk resistance andmaintain high quality services.
Operation riskRecently, there is still a gap between the practitioners working in the financial leasing industry and those working in traditionalfinancial institutions such as banks in terms of their expertise and experience in financial profession in China. There is also a largegap in terms of investment in infrastructure. If internal control procedures are not implemented properly and involve operation risk asa result of operation errors, violations or non-standard execution, the Company may suffer from loss.
Learning from the risk management experience of outstanding financial leasing companies at home and abroad, the leasingcompany has formulated and optimised the internal management system of the leasing business and established an effective system
for risk assessment, risk control and risk tracking. The Company has also exercised proper control on business risk by regulating thekey business procedures including quotation, guarantee review, contract signing, leased assets management and archivesmanagement.

5. Accounting treatment of business combinations under common control and not under common control
Business combinations refer to the transactions or events in which two or more separate enterprises merged as a single reportingentity. Business combinations are divided into business combinations under common control and not under common control.
(1) Business combinations under common controlA business combination involving enterprises under common control is a business combination in which all of the combiningenterprises are ultimately controlled by the same party or parties before and after the combination, and that control is not transitory.The party that, on the combination date, obtains control of another enterprise participating in the combination is the absorbing party,while that other enterprise participating in the combination is a party being absorbed. The combination date is the date on which theabsorbing party effectively obtains control of the party being absorbed.
Assets and liabilities obtained by the absorbing party are measured at their carrying amount at the combination date as recordedby the party being merged. The difference between the carrying amount of the net assets obtained and the carrying amount of theconsideration paid for the combination (or the aggregate nominal value of shares issued as consideration) is charged to the capitalreserve (share capital premium). If the capital reserve (share capital premium) is not sufficient to absorb the difference, any excessshall be adjusted against retained earnings.
Cost incurred by the absorbing party that is directly attributable to the business combination shall be charged to profit or loss inthe period in which they are incurred.
(2) Business combination not under common controlA business combination not involving enterprises under common control is a business combination in which all of thecombining enterprises are not ultimately controlled by the same party or parties before and after the combination. For a businesscombination not involving enterprises under common control, the party that, on the acquisition date, obtains control of anotherenterprise participating in the combination is the acquirer, while that other enterprise participating in the combination is the acquiree.The acquisition date is the date on which the acquirer effe ctively obtains control of the acquiree.
For business combination involving entities not under common control, the cost of a business combination is the aggregate ofthe fair values, on the date of acquisition, of assets given, liabilities incurred or assumed, and equity instruments issued by theacquirer to be paid by the acquirer, in exchange for control of the acquire plus agency fee such as audit, legal service and evaluationconsultation and other management fees charged to the profit or loss for the period when incurred. Transaction cost attributable toequity or debt securities issued by the acquirer as consideration is included in the initial costs. Contingent consideration involved ischarged to the combination cost at its fair value on the acquisition date, in the event that adjustment on the contingent considerationis required as a result of new or additional evidence in relation to circumstances existed on the acquisition date emerges within 12months from the acquisition date, the combination goodwill shall also be adjusted. The combination cost incurred by the acquirer andthe identifiable net assets acquired from the combination are measured at their fair values on the acquisition date. Where the cost of abusiness combination exceeds the acquirer’s interest in the fair value of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets on the acquisition date,the difference is recognised as goodwill. Where the cost of a business combination is less than the acquirer’s interest in the fair valueof the acquiree’s identifiable net assets, the acquirer shall first reassess the measurement of the fair value of the acquiree’s
identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities and the measurement of the cost of combination. If after such reassessment thecost of combination is still less than the acquirer’s interest in the fair value of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets, the difference ischarged to profit or loss for the period.
In relation to the deductible temporary difference acquired from the acquiree, which was not recognised as deferred tax assetsdue to non-fulfilment of the recognition criteria at the date of the acquisition, if new or further information that is obtained within 12months after the acquisition date indicates that related conditions at the acquisition date already existed, and that the implementationof the economic benefits brought by the deductible temporary difference of the acquiree can be expected, the relevant deferred taxassets shall be recognised and goodwill shall be deducted. When the amount of goodwill is less than the deferred tax assets that shallbe recognised, the difference shall be recognised in the profit or loss of the period. Except for the above circumstances, deferred taxassets in relation to business combination are recognised in the profit or loss of the period.
For combination of business not under common control achieved by several transactions, these several transactions will bejudged whether they belong to “transactions in a basket” in accordance with the judgement standards on “transactions in a basket” asset out in the Notice of the Ministry of Finance on Issuing Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises Interpretation No. 5 (CaiKuai [2012] No. 19) and Rule of 51 to “Accounting Standard for Business Enterprises No. 33 – Consolidated FinancialStatements”(see Note V. 5 (2)). If they belong to “transactions in a basket”, they are accounted for with reference to the descriptionsas set out in the previous paragraphs of this section and Note V. 14 “Long-term equity investments”, and if they do not belong to“transactions in a basket”, they are accounted for in separate financial statements and consolidated financial reports:
In separate financial statements, the initial equity investment cost is the aggregate of the carrying amount of the equityinvestment in the acquiree held prior to the acquisition date and the investment cost newly added as at the acquisition date. In respectof any other comprehensive income attributable to the equity interest in the acquiree prior to the acquisition date, othercomprehensive income is accounted for on the same accounting treatment as direct disposal of relevant asset or liability by theacquiree at the time of disposal (i.e. to be transferred to investment income for the period, except for the changes arising fromre-measuring net assets or net liabilities of defined benefit plan using the equity method attributable to the acquiree).
In consolidated financial statements, the equity interest in the acquiree held prior to the acquisition date is remeasured at fairvalue as at the acquisition date, and the difference between the fair value and the carrying amount is recognised as investment incomefor the current period. In respect of any other comprehensive income attributable to the equity interest in the acquiree held prior tothe acquisition date, other comprehensive income is accounted for on the same accounting treatment as direct disposal of relevantasset or liability by the acquiree (i.e. to be transferred to investment income at the acquisition date, except for the changes arisingfrom re-measuring net assets or net liabilities of defined benefit plan using the equity method attributable to the acquiree) istransferred to investment income in the period of the acquisition date.
6. Preparation of consolidated financial statements
(1) Basis for principle of determining the scope of consolidated financial statementsThe scope of consolidation of the consolidated financial statements is determined on the basis of control. The term “control”refers to the fact that the Company has power over the investee and is entitled to variable returns from its involvement with theinvestee and the ability to use its power over the investee to affect the amount of those returns. The scope of consolidation includesthe Company and all of its subsidiaries. A subsidiary is an entity controlled by the Company.
The Company will conduct reassessment in the event there are changes in actual condition and situation causing changes inrelevant elements involved in the definition of control above.
(2) Basis for preparation of the consolidated financial statementsSubsidiaries are consolidated from the date on which the Company obtains net assets and the effective control of decisionmaking of production and operation and are deconsolidated from the date that such control ceases. For disposal of subsidiaries, theoperating results and cash flows of such subsidiaries before the date of disposal are properly included into the consolidated incomestatement and consolidated cash flow statements; for disposal of subsidiaries during the reporting period, no adjustment shall bemade to the opening balance of the consolidated balance sheet. For those subsidiaries acquired through business combination notunder common control, the operating results and cash flows after the acquisition date have been properly included in the consolidatedincome statements and consolidated cash flow statements. No adjustments shall be made to the opening balance of the consolidatedbalance sheet and the comparative consolidated financial statements amount. For those subsidiaries acquired through businesscombinations under common control, the operating results and cash flows from the beginning of the consolidation period to theconsolidation date are also presented in the consolidated income statement and the consolidated cash flow statements. Thecomparative amounts presented in the consolidated financial statements are also adjusted accordingly.
The financial statements of the subsidiaries are adjusted in accordance with the accounting policies and accounting period of theCompany in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements, where the accounting policies and the accounting periods areinconsistent between the Company and the subsidiaries. For acquisition of subsidiaries arising from merger of entities not under samecontrol, the financial statements of the subsidiaries will be adjusted according to the fair value of the identifiable net assets at theacquisition date.
All intra-co mpany significant balances, transactions and unrealised profit are eliminated in the consolidated financial statements.The shareholders’ equity and the portion of the profit or loss for the period of the subsidiaries that are not attributable to theCompany are presented under shareholders’ equity and net profit in the consolidated financial statements as minority interests and netprofit of minority interest respectively. The portion of net profit or loss of subsidiaries for the period attributable to minority interestis presented in the consolidated income statement under the “profit or loss of minority interest”. When the amount of loss attributableto the minority shareholders of a subsidiary exceeds the minority shareholders’ portion of the opening balance of owners’ equity ofthe subsidiary, the excess amount shall be allocated against minority interest.
For the loss of control over a subsidiary due to disposal of a portion of the equity investment or other reasons, the remainingequity is measured at fair value on the date when the control is lost. The difference arising from the sum of consideration received for
disposal of equity interest and the fair value of remaining equity interest over the share of net assets of the former subsidiarycalculated continuously since the purchase date based on the shareholding percentage before disposal are recognised as investmentincome in the period when the control is lost. Other comprehensive income related to equity investment in the subsidiary isaccounted for on the same accounting treatment as direct disposal of relevant asset or liability by the acquiree at the time when thecontrol is lost (i.e. to be transferred to investment income, except for the changes arising from re-measuring net assets or netliabilities of defined benefit plan of the subsidiary using the equity method). The remaining equity interests are measuredsubsequently according to “Accounting Standard for Business Enterprises No. 2 – Long-term Equity Investments” or “AccountingStandard for Business Enterprises No. 22 – Recognition and Measurement of Financial Instruments”. See Note V. 14 “Long-termequity investments” or Note V. 10 “Financial instruments” for details.
When the Company disposes of equity investment in a subsidiary by a stage-up approach with several transactions until thecontrol over the subsidiary is lost, it shall determine whether these several transactions related to the disposal of equity investment ina subsidiary until the control over the subsidiary is lost belong to “transactions in a basket”. Usually, these several transactionsrelated to the disposal of equity investment in a subsidiary are accounted for as transactions in a basket when the terms, conditionsand economic impacts of these several transactions meet the following one or more conditions: ① these transactions are enter edinto at the same time or after considering their impacts on each other; ② these transactions as a whole can reach complete businessresults; ③ the occurrence of a transaction depends on at least the occurrence of another transaction; ④ an individual transaction isnot deemed as economic, but is deemed as economic when considered with other transactions. If they are not transactions in a basket,each of which are accounted for in accordance with applicable rules in “partial disposal of long-term equity investment of asubsidiary without losing control over a subsidiary” (see Note V. 14 (2) ④) separately, and “the control over a subsidiary is lost dueto partial disposal of equity investment or other reasons” (see the preceding paragraph). When several transactions related to thedisposal of equity investment in a subsidiary until the control over the subsidiary is lost belong to transactions in a basket, each ofwhich is accounted for as disposal of a subsidiary with a transaction until the control over a subsidiary is lost; however, the differentbetween the amount of disposal prior to the loss of control and the net assets of a subsidiary attributable to the disposal investmentshall be recognised as other comprehensive income in consolidated financial statements and transferred to profit or loss at the timewhen the control is lost.
7. Classification of joint arrangements and accounting treatment for joint ventures
A joint arrangement refers to an arrangement of two or more parties have joint control. In accordance with the Company’s rightsand obligations under a joint arrangement, the Company classifies joint arrangements into: joint ventures and joint operations. Jointoperations refer to a joint arrangement during which the Company is entitled to relevant assets and obligations of this arrangement.Joint ventures refer to a joint arrangement during which the Company only is entitled to net assets of this arrangement.
The Company treats investments in joint ventures by using the equity method of accounting in accordance with accountingpolicies as set out in Note V. 14 (2) ②“long-term equity investments by using equity method of accounting”.
The Company shall, as a joint venture, recognise the assets held and obligations assumed solely by the Company, and recogniseassets held and obligations assumed jointly by the Company in appropriation to the share of the Company; recognise revenue fromdisposal of the share of joint operations of the Company; recognise fees solely occurred by Company and recognise fees from jointoperations in appropriation to the share of the Company.
When the Company, as a joint venture, invests or sells assets (the assets does not constitute a business, the same below) to orpurchase assets from joint operations, the Company shall only recognise the part of profit or lost from this transaction attributable toother parties of joint operations before these assets are sold to the third party. If the occurrence of these assets meet the impairmentloss of asset as set out in “Accounting Standard for Business Enterprises No. 8 – Asset Impairment”, the Company shall recognisethe full amount of this loss in relation to the Company invests in or sells assets to joint operations; the Company recognise the lossaccording to the Company’s share of commitment in relation to the Company purchase assets from joint operations.
8. Standards for recognising cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents of the Company include cash on hand, deposits readily available for payment purpose and short-term(normally fall due within three months from the date of acquisition) and highly liquid investments held the Company which arereadily convertible into known amount of cash and which are subject to insignificant risk of value change.
9. Foreign currency operations and translation of statements denominated in foreign currency
(1) Basis for translation of foreign currency transactionsThe foreign currency transactions of the Company, when initially recognised, are translated into the functional currency at theprevailing spot exchange rate on the date of exchange, i.e. the middle price of RMB exchange rate published by the People’s Bank ofChina on that date in general and the same hereinafter, while the foreign currency exchange operations and transactions in connectionwith foreign currency exchange shall be translated into the functional currency at the exchange rate actually adopted.
(2) Basis for translation of foreign currency monetary items and foreign currency non-monetary itemsOn the balance sheet date, foreign currency monetary items shall be translated at the spot exchange rate on the balance sheetdate. All differences are included in the profit or loss in the period, except for: ① the differences arising from foreign currencyborrowings related to the acquisition or construction of fixed assets that are qualified for capitalisation will be accounted foraccording to the principle of capitalisation; and ② exchange difference arising from change in balance of carrying amount other
than amortised cost of available for sale foreign monetary items will be included in other comprehensive income.
Exchange differences arising from change in exchange rate where the preparation of consolidated financial statements relates toforeign operations and foreign currency monetary items materially constitute net investment in foreign operations shall be recordedinto “other comprehensive income”; disposal of foreign operations shall be included into profits and losses on disposal in the currentperiod.
The foreign currency non-monetary items measured at historical cost shall still be measured by the functional currencytranslated at the spot exchange rate on the date of the transaction. Foreign currency non-monetary items measured at fair value aretranslated at the spot exchange rate on the date of determination of the fair value. The difference between the amounts of thefunctional currency before and after the translation will be treated as changes in fair value (including changes in foreign exchangerates) and recognised in profit or loss for the period or recognised as other comprehensive income.
(3) Basis for translation of foreign currency financial statementsExchange differences arising from change in exchange rate where the preparation of consolidated financial statements relates toforeign operations and foreign currency monetary items materially constitute net investment in foreign operations shall be recordedinto “other comprehensive income” under “translation reserve”; disposal of foreign operations shall be included into profits andlosses on disposal in the current period.
The financial statements denominated in foreign currency of a foreign operation are translated to RMB in compliance with thefollowing requirements: assets and liabilities on the balance sheet are translated at the spot exchange rate prevailing at the balancesheet date; owner’s equity items except for “retained profit” are translated at the spot exchange rates at the dates on which such itemsarose; income and expenses items in the income statement are translated at the spot exchange rate at the date of transaction. Theretained profit brought forward are reported at the prior year’s closing balance; the retained profit as at the end of the year arepresented after translated the profit appropriation items; differences between the aggregate of asset and liability items and owners’equity items are recognised as “translation differences arising on the translation of financial statements denominated in foreigncurrencies” in other comprehensive income. On disposal of foreign operations and loss of control, exchange differences arising fromthe translation of financial statements denominated in foreign currencies related to the disposed foreign operations which has beenincluded in owners’ equity in the balance sheet, shall be transferred to profit or loss in whole or in proportionate share in the period inwhich the disposal took place.
Cash flow dominated in foreign currency or from foreign subsidiaries shall be translated at the spot exchange rate when it incurs.Effects arising from changes of exchange rate of cash shall be presented separately in the cash flow statements.
The opening balance and the prior year’s figures are presented according to the translated amounts of the prior year.On disposal of the entire owners’ equity in a foreign operation of the Company, or upon a loss of control over a foreignoperation due to disposal of certain equity investment or other reasons, the Company transfers the exchange differences arising ontranslation of financial statements of this foreign operation attributable to owners’ equity of parent company presented under owners’equity in the balance sheet, to profit or loss in the period in which the disposal took place.
In case of partial disposal of equity investment or other reason that result in reduction in shareholding in a foreign operationwithout losing control over it, the proportionate share of exchange differences arising from the translation of financial statements willbe attributable to minority interests and will not recognised in profit or loss. For partial disposals of equity interests in foreignoperations which are associates or joint ventures, the proportionate share of the exchange differences arising from the translation offinancial statements of foreign operations is reclassified to profit or loss.
10. Financial instruments
Financial asset or financial liability will be recognised when the Company became one of the parties under a financialinstrument contract. Financial assets and financial liabilities are initially recognised at fair value, except for equity instruments thatare not quoted in an active market, the fair value of which cannot be reliably measured and over relevant investees of which theCompany does not have control, joint control or significant influence, and debt financing instruments subsequently measured atamortised cost using the effective interest method. For financial assets and financial liabilities measured at fair value and whosechanges are carried through profit or loss, relevant transaction costs are directly recognised in profit or loss for the period. Forfinancial assets and financial liabilities classified as other categories, relevant transaction costs are included in the amount initiallyrecognised.
(1) Determination of fair values for financial assets and financial liabilitiesThe fair value refers to the price that will be received when selling an asset or the price to be paid to transfer a liability in anorderly transaction between market participants on the date of measurement. Financial instruments exist in an active market. Fairvalue is determined based on the quoted price in such market. An active market refers to where pricing is easily and regularlyobtained from exchanges, brokers, industrial organisations and price fixing service organisations, representing the actual price of amarket transaction that takes place in a fair deal. While financial instruments do not exist in an active market, the fair value isdetermined using valuation techniques. Valuation technologies include reference to be familiar with situation and prices reached inrecent market transactions entered into by both willing parties, reference to present fair values of similar other financial instruments,cash flow discounting method and option pricing models.
(2) Classification, recognition and measurement of finan cial assetsConventionally traded financial assets shall be recognised and derecognised at the trading date. Financial assets shall beclassified into loans and accounts receivable, available-for-sale financial assets and others for initial recognition.
① Loans and receivablesThey are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. Financialassets, including bills receivable, accounts receivable, interest receivable, dividends receivable and other receivables are classified asloans and receivables by the Company.
Loans and receivables are measured subsequently at the amortised cost by using the effective interest rate method. Gains or
losses incurred at the time of derecognition, impairment or amortisation are charged to profit or loss in the current period.
② Available-for-sale financial assetsAvailable-for-sale financial assets represent equity instruments over relevant investees of which the Company does not havecontrol, joint control or significant influence.
Available-for-sale financial assets are subsequently measured at fair value. The gain or loss on change in fair value arerecognised as other comprehensive income, except for impairment loss and exchange differences arising from foreign monetaryfinancial assets and amortised cost which are accounted for through profit or loss for the current period. The financial assets will betransferred out of the financial assets on derecognition and accounted for through profit or loss for the current period. However, forequity investment of which the Company d oes not ha ve contr ol, joint c ontrol or significant influence, not quoted in an active marketand the fair value of which cannot be measured reliably, their fair values are subsequently measured at cost.
Interests received from available-for-sale financial assets held and the cash dividends declared by the investee are recognised asinvestment income.
(3) Impairment of financial assetsThe Company reviews the carrying amount of financial assets on each balance sheet date and provides for impairment wherethere is objective evidence that financial assets are impaired.
For a financial asset that is individually significant, the Company assesses the asset individually for impairment. For a financialasset that is not individually significant, the Company assess the asset individually for impairment or include the asset in a group offinancial assets with similar credit risk characteristics and collectively assess them for impairment. If it is determined that noobjective evidence of impairment exists for an individually assessed financial asset, whether the financial asset is individuallysignificant or not, the financial asset is included in a group of financial assets with similar credit risk characteristics and collectivelyassessed for impairment. Financial assets for which an impairment loss is individually recognised are not included in the collectiveassessment for impairment.
① Impairment of loans and receivablesThe carrying amount of financial assets measured as costs or amortised costs are subsequently reduced to the present valuediscounted from its projected future cash flow. The reduced amount is recognised as impairment loss and recorded as profit or lossfor the period. After recognition of the impairment loss from financial assets, if there is objective evidence showing recovery in valueof such financial assets impaired and which is related to any event occurring after such recognition, the impairment loss originallyrecognised shall be reversed to the extent that the carrying amount of the financial assets upon reversal will not exceed the amortisedcost as at the reversal date assuming there is no provision for impairment.
② Impairment of available-for-sale financial assetsIn the event that decline in fair value of the available-for-sale equity instrument or fair value of the interest in the investee’sidentifiable net assets is regarded as “severe decline” or “non-temporary decline” on the basis of comprehensive related factors, itindicates that there is impairment loss of the available-for-sale equity instrument. In particular, “severe decline” refers to decline ofover 20% in such fair value. “Non-temporary decline” refers to such fair value decreased continuously for more than 12 months. Thecontinuous decreasing period is determined on the basis of the drop of such fair value accumulated over 10%.
When the available-for-sale financial assets impair, the accumulated loss originally included in the other comprehensive incomearising from the decrease in fair value was transferred out and included in the profit or loss for the period. The accumulatedloss that
transferred out is the balance of the initial acquisition cost of asset, after deduction of the principal recovered, amortised amounts,current fair value and the impairment loss originally included in the profit or loss.
After recognition of the impairment loss, if there is objective evidence showing recovery in value of such financial assetsimpaired and which is related to any event occurring after such recognition in subsequent periods, the impairment loss originallyrecognised shall be reversed. The impairment loss reversal of the available-for-sale equity instrument will be recognised as othercomprehensive income, and the impairment loss reversal of the available-for-sale debt instrument will be included in the profit orloss for the period.
When an equity investment that is not quoted in an active market and the fair value of which cannot be measured reliably, or theimpairment loss of a derivative financial asset linked to the equity instrument that shall be settled by delivery of that equityinstrument, then it will not be reversed.
(4) Recognition and measurement of transfers of financial assetFinancial asset that satisfied any of the following criteria shall be derecognised: ① the contract right to receive the cash flowsof the financial asset has terminated; ② the financial asset, along with substantially all the risk and return arising from theownership of the financial asset, has been transferred to the transferee; and ③ the financial asset has been transferred to thetransferee, and the transferor has given up the control on such financial asset, though it does not assign maintain substantially all therisk and return arising from the ownership of the financial asset.
When the entity does not either assign or maintain substantially all the risk and return arising from the ownership of thefinancial asset and does not give up the control on such financial asset, to the extent of its continuous involvement in the financialasset, the entity recognises such financial asset and the relevant liability accordingly. The extent of the continuous involvement is theextent to which the entity exposes to changes in the value of such financial assets.
If all criteria of recognition of transfer of financial assets are satisfied, the difference between the carrying amount of thefinancial assets transferred and the sum of the consideration received from the transfer and the accumulated changes in fair valueoriginally included in other comprehensive income shall be recognised in the profit or loss for the period.
If a part of the financial assets is qualified for derecognition, the carrying amount of the financial asset is allocated between thepart that continues to be recognised and the part that qualifies for derecognition, based on the fair values of the respective parts. Thedifference between the following amounts is recognised in profit or loss for the period: the sum of the consideration received and thecarrying amount of the part that qualifies for derecognition and the aforementioned carrying amount.
For financial assets that are sold or transferred with recourse or endorsement, the Company needs to determine whether the riskand rewards of ownership of the financial asset have been substantially transferred. If the risk and rewards of ownership of the
financial asset have been substantially transferred, the financial assets shall be derecognised. If the risk and rewards of ownership ofthe financial asset have been retained, the financial assets shall not be derecognised. If the Company neither transfers nor retainssubstantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset, the Company shall assess whether the control over thefinancial asset is retained, and the financial assets shall be accounting for according to the above paragraphs.
(5) Classification and measurement of financial liabilitiesFinancial liabilities are classified at initial recognition: financial liabilities recognised at fair value with changes carried throughprofit or loss and other financial liabilities. For financial liabilities measured at fair value with changes recognised in profit or loss ofthe current period, relevant transaction costs are directly recognised in profit or loss for the period. The amount is recognised initiallyat fair value and the subsequent changes in fair value will be recognised in profit or loss for the period. For other financial liabilities,relevant transaction costs are included in the amount initially recognised and subsequently measured at amortised cost using theeffective interest method, and relevant gain or loss arising from derecognition or amortisation are included in current profit or loss.
(6) Derecognition of financial liabilitiesFinancial liabilities are derecognised in full or in part only when the present obligation is discharged in full or in part. Anagreement is entered between the Company (debtor) and a creditor to replace the original financial liabilities with new financialliabilities with substantially different terms, derecognise the original financial liabilities as well as recognise the new financialliabilities.
When financial liabilities are derecognised in full or in part, the difference between the carrying amount of the financialliabilities derecognised and the consideration paid (including transferred non-cash assets or new financial liability) is recognised inprofit or loss for the current period.
(7) Offset of Financial Assets and Financial LiabilitiesIf the Company owns the legitimate rights of offsetting the recognised financial assets and financial liabilities, which areenforceable currently, and the Company plans to realise the financial assets or to clear off the financial liabilities on a net amountbasis or simultaneously, the financial assets and financial liabilities shall be reported in the balance sheet upon offsetting. Otherwise,financial assets and financial liabilities are presented separately in the balance sheet without offsetting.
(8) Equity instrumentsEquity instruments are any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of an entity after deducting all of its liabilities.The issuance (including refinancing), repurchase, sale or cancellation of equity instruments by the Company is accounted formovement in equity. The Company does not recognise the movement in fair value of equity instruments. Transaction costs related toequity transactions are deducted from equity.
Various distributions (excluding dividends) made by the Company to holders of equity instruments reduces owners’ equity. TheCompany does not recognise the movement in fair value of equity instruments.
11. Accounts receivable(1) Making bad debt provision individually for individually significant accounts receivable
Judgment basis or amount standard for individually significantamount
Accounts receivable of more than RMB1 million is recognised asindividually significant accounts receivable by the Company.
Method for making bad debt provision individually forindividually significant accounts receivable
For accounts receivable that is individually significant, theCompany assesses such accounts receivable individually forimpairment. If it is determined that no objective evidence ofimpairment e xists for an in dividually assessed fi nancial a sset, thefinancial asset is included in a group of financial assets withsimilar credit risk characteristics and collectively assessed forimpairment. Accounts receivable for which an impairment loss isindividually recognised are not included in a group of accountsreceivable with similar credit risk characteristics and collectivelyassessed for impairment.

(3) Accounts receivable individually insignificant but assessed individually for impairment12. Inventories
Whether the Company needs to comply with the disclosure requirements for specific industriesNo
(1) Classification of inventoriesInventories mainly include raw materials, work in progress, goods in stock, developing products and consumable biologicalassets etc.
(2) Pricing of inventories received and dispatchedInventories are measured at their actual cost when obtained. Cost of an inventory consists of purchase costs, processing costsand other costs. When used and dispatched, inventories will be calculated with weighted average method.
The developing products of land development companies under the Company are initially measured at cost. The costs ofdeveloping products include preconstruction costs, expenditures for auxiliary facilities, expenses on construction and installation,borrowing costs incurred before the completion of the subject project and other related expenses during the course of thedevelopment. Once the inventories are delivered, the actual costs will be determined using specific measurement methods.
Consumable biological assets refer to biological assets held-for-sale which include growing timber. Consuma ble biologicalassets without a stock are stated at cost at initial recognition, and subsequently measured at fair value when there is a stock. Changesin fair values shall be recognised as profit or loss in the current period. The cost of self-planting, self-cultivating consumablebiological assets is the necessary expenses directly attributable to such assets prior to canopy closure, including borrowing costseligible for capitalisation. Subsequent expenses such as maintenance cost incurred after canopy closure shall be included in profit orloss for the current period.
The cost of consumable biological assets shall, at the time of harvest or disposal, be carried forward at carrying amount usingthe batch averaging method.
(3) Recognition of net realisable value of inventory and provision for inventory impairmentNet realisable value refers to the amount of the estimated price of inventories less the estimated cost incurred upon completion,estimated sales expenses and taxes and levies in daily operation. The realisable value of inventories shall be determined on the basisof definite evidence, purpose of holding the inventories and effect of after-balance-sheet-date events.
At the balance sheet date, inventories are calculated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Usually, provision forinventory impairment is made when the net realisable value is lower than the cost. Provisions for impairment of inventory shall bemade according to the amount by which the cost of a single item exceeds its net realisable value. For large quantity and low valueitems of inventories, provision may be made based on categories of inventories. For items of inventories relating to a product linethat is produced and marketed in the same geographical area and with the same or similar end uses or purposes, which cannot bepracticable valued separately from other items in that product line, provision for decline in value of inventories may be determinedon an aggregate basis.
After making the provision for inventory impairment, in case the factors causing inventory impairment no longer exists, and thenet realisable value of an inventory is higher than its book-value, the original provision for inventory impairment shall be transferredback and incorporated into the profit or loss for the current period.
(4) We implement permanent inventory system as our inventory stock taking system.(5) Low-value consumables and packaging materials are amortised when issued for use.
13. Assets held-for-sale
The Company shall classify a non-current asset or disposal group as held for sale if its carrying amount will be recoveredprincipally through a sale transaction (including a non-monetary asset exchange of commercial substance, the same below) ratherthan through continuous use, and when all of the following conditions are met: according to the practice of disposing of this type ofassets or disposal groups in a similar transaction, a non-current asset or disposal group is available for immediate sale in its presentcondition; the Company has made a resolution in respect of a disposal plan and obtained a firm purchase commitment from a buyer;and the sale is probable to be completed within one year. A disposal group is a group of assets to be disposed of, by sale or otherwise,together as a group in a single transaction, and liabilities directly associated with those assets that will be transferred in thetransaction. Where goodwill acquired in a business combination has been allocated to the asset group or groups to which a disposalgroup belongs in accordance with the Accounting Standard for Business Enterprises No. 8 - Impairment of Assets, the disposal groupshall include the goodwill allocated to it.
When the Company measures initially or remeasures the non-current assets and disposal group classified as held for sale on thebalance sheet date, its carrying amount is written down to its fair value less selling costs if its carrying amount is higher than its fairvalue less costs to sell. The reduced amount is recognised as asset impairment loss and charged to current profit or loss, withprovision made for the impairment of the held-for-sale assets. With regard to the disposal group, the asset impairment loss recognisedis offset by the carrying amount of the goodwill in the disposal group first, and then by the carrying amount of each of thenon-current assets in the disposal group which are applicable to the measure requirements under the Accounting Standard forBusiness Enterprises No. 42 - Noncurrent Assets Held For Sale, Disposal Groups and Discontinued Operations (hereinafter referredto as “Held-For-Sale Standard”) pro rata. If on a subsequent balance sheet date, the net amount of the fair value of a held-for-saledisposal group less its costs to sell increases, the amount reduced previously shall be recovered, and reversed in the asset impairmentloss recognised on the non-current asset which is applicable to the measurement requirements of the Held-For-Sale Standard after thenon-current asset is classified as held for sale. The reversed amount is credited to current profit or loss, and the carrying amount ofeach non-current asset (other than goodwill) which is applicable to the measurement requirements of the Held-For-Sale Standard isincreased pro rata according to the percentage of each non-current asset’s carrying amount. Neither the carrying amount of goodwillwhich has been offset nor the asset impairment loss recognised before the non-current asset to which the measurement requirementsof the Held-For-Sale Standard is applicable is classified as held for sale can be reversed.
No depreciation or amortisation is provided for a non-current asset in the non-current assets or disposal groups held for sale.Interest and other expenses attributable to the liabilities of a disposal group held for sale shall continue to be recognised.
When a non-current asset or a disposal group does not meet the condition to be classified as held for sale, the Company ceasesto classify it as held for sale or removes the non-current asset from the disposal group held for sale, and measures it at the lower of:
(1) the carrying amount before it was classified as held for sale, adjusted for any depreciation (or amortisation) or impairment thatwould have been recognised had it not been classified as held for sale, and (2) its recoverable amount.
14. Long-term equity investments
Long-term equity investments under this section refer to long-term equity investments in which the Company has control, jointcontrol or significant influence over the investee. Long-term equity investment without control or joint control or significantinfluence of the Company is accounted for as available-for-sale financial assets or financial assets measured at fair value with anychange in fair value charged to profit or loss. Details on its accounting policy please refer to Note IV. 9 “Financial instruments”.
Joint control is the Company’s contractually agreed sharing of control over an arrangement, which relevant activities of sucharrangement must be decided by unanimously agreement from parties who share control. Significant influence is the power of theCompany to participate in the financial and operating policy decisions of an investee, but to fail to control or joint control theformulation of such policies together with other parties.
(1) Determination of investment costFor a long-term equity investment acquired through a business combination involving enterprises under common control, theinitial investment cost of the long-term equity investment shall be the absorbing party’s share of the carrying amount of the owner’sequity under the consolidated financial statements of the ultimate controlling party on the date of combination. The differencebetween the initial cost of the long-term equity investment and the cash paid, non-cash assets transferred as well as the carryingamount of the debts borne by the absorbing party shall offset against the capital reserve. If the capital reserve is insufficient to offset,the retained earnings shall be adjusted. If the consideration of the merger is satisfied by issue of equity securities, the initialinvestment cost of the long-term equity investment shall be the absorbing party’s share of the carrying amount of the owner’s equityunder the consolidated financial statements of the ultimate controlling party on the date of combination. With the total face value ofthe shares issued as share capital, the difference between the initial cost of the long-term equity investment and total face value of theshares issued shall be used to offset against the capital reserve. If the capital reserve is insufficient to offset, the retained earningsshall be adjusted. For business combination resulted in an enterprise under common control by acquiring equity of the absorbingparty under common control through a stage-up approach with several transactions, these transactions will be judged whether theyshall be treat as “transactions in a basket”. If they belong to “transactions in a basket”, these transactions will be accounted for atransaction in obtaining control. If they do not belong to “transactions in a basket”, the initial investment cost of the long-term equityinvestment shall be the absorbing party’s share of the carrying amount of the owner’s equity under the consolidated financialstatements of the ultimate controlling party on the date of combination. The difference between the initial cost of the long-termequity investment and the aggregate of the carrying amount of the long-term equity investment before merging and the carryingamount the additional consideration paid for further share acquisition on the date of combination shall offset against the capitalreserve. If the capital reserve is insufficient to offset, the retained earnings shall be adjusted. Other comprehensive income recognisedas a result of the previously held equity investment accounted for using equity method on the date of combination or recognised foravailable-for-sale financial assets will not be accounted for.
For a long-term equity investment acquired through a business combination involving enterprises not under common control,the initial investment cost of the long-term equity investment shall be the cost of combination on the date of acquisition. Cost ofcombination includes the aggregate fair value of assets paid by the acquirer, liabilities incurred or borne and equity securities issued.For business combination resulted in an enterprise not under common control by acquiring equity of the acquiree under commoncontrol through a stage-up approach with several transactions, these transactions will be judged whether they shall be treat as“transactions in a basket”. If they belong to “transactions in a basket”, these transactions will be accounted for a transaction inobtaining control. If they do not belong to “transactions in a basket”, the initial investment cost of the long-term equity investmentaccounted for using cost method shall be the aggregate of the carrying amount of equity investment previously held by the acquireeand the additional investment cost. For previously held equity accounted for using equity method, relevant other comprehensiveincome will not be accounted for. For previously held equity investment classified as available-for-sale financial asset, the differencebetween its fair value and carrying amount, as well as the accumulated movement in fair value previously included in the othercomprehensive inc ome shall be transferred to profit or loss for the current period.
Agent fees incurred by the absorbing party or acquirer for the acquisition such as audit, legal service, and valuation andconsultation fees, and other related administration expenses are charged to profit or loss in the current period at the time suchexpenses incurred.
The long-term equity investment acquired through means other than a business combination shall be initially measured at itscost. Such cost is depended upon the acquired means of long-term equity investments, which is recognised based on the purchasecost actually paid by the Company, the fair value of equity securities issued by the Company, the agreed value of investment contractor agreement, the fair value or original carrying amount of the non-monetary asset exchange transaction which the asset will betransferred out of the Company, and the fair value of long-term equity investment itself. The costs, taxes and other necessaryexpenses that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the long-term equity investments are also included in the investment cost.For additional equity investment made in order to obtain significant influence or common control over investee without resulted incontrol, the relevant cost for long-term equity investment shall be the aggregate of fair value of previously held equity investmentand additional investment cost determined according to “Accounting Standard for Business Enterprises No. 22 – Recognition andmeasurement of Financial Instruments”.
(2) Subsequent measurement and method for profit or loss recognitionLong-term equity investments with joint control (excluding those constitute joint ventures) or significant influence on theinvestee are accounted for using equity method. In addition, long-term equity investments with control on the investee are accountedfor using cost method and record in the Company’s financial statements.
① Long-term equity investments accounted for using the cost methodUnder the cost method, a long-term equity investment is measured at its initial investment cost. The cost for long-term equityinvestment is adjusted in the event of additional investment or investment recovery. Except receiving the actual consideration paidfor the investment or the declared but not yet distributed cash dividends or profits which is included in the consideration, investmentgains for the period is recognised as the cash dividends or profits declared by the investee.
② Long-term equity investments accounted for using the equity methodUnder the equity method, where the initial investment cost of a long-term equity investment exceeds the investor’s interest inthe fair value of the investee’s identifiable net assets at the acquisition date, no adjustment shall be made to the initial investment cost.Where the initial investment cost is less than the investor’s interest in the fair value of the investee’s identifiable net assets at theacquisition date, the difference shall be charged to profit or loss for the current period, and the cost of the long-term equityinvestment shall be adjusted accordingly.
Under the equity method, investment gain and other comprehensive income shall be recognised based on the Company’s shareof the net profits or losses and other comprehensive income made by the investee, respectively. Meanwhile, the carrying amount oflong-term equity investment shall be adjusted. The carrying amount of long-term equity investment shall be reduced based on theCompany’s share of profit or cash dividend distributed by the investee. In respect of the other movement of net profit or loss, othercomprehensive income and profit distribution of investee, the carrying amount of long-term equity investment shall be adjusted andincluded in the capital reserves. The Company shall recognise its share of the investee’s net profits or losses based on the fair valuesof the investee’s individual separately identifiable assets at the time of acquisition, after making appropriate adjustments thereto. Inthe event of inconformity between the accounting policies and accounting periods of the investee and the Company, the financialstatements of the investee shall be adjusted in conformity with the accounting policies and accounting periods of the Company.Investment gain and other comprehensive income shall be recognised accordingly. In respect of the transactions between theCompany and its associates and joint ventures in which the assets disposed of or sold are not classified as operation, the share ofunrealised gain or loss arising from internal transactions shall be eliminated by the portion attributable to the Company. Investmentgain shall be recognised accordingly. However, any unrealised loss arising from internal transactions between the Company and aninvestee is not eliminated to the extent that the loss is impairment loss of the transferred assets. In the event that the Companydisposed of an asset classified as operation to its joint ventures or associates, which resulted in acquisition of long-term equityinvestment by the investor without obtaining control, the initial investment cost of additional long-term equity investment shall be thefair value of disposed operation. The difference between initial investment cost and the carrying amount of disposed operation will befully included in profit or loss for the current period. In the event that the Company sold an asset classified as operation to itsassociates or joint ventures, the difference between the carrying amount of consideration received and operation shall be fullyincluded in profit or loss for the current period. In the event that the Company acquired an asset which formed an operation from itsassociates or joint ventures, relevant transaction shall be accounted for in accordance with “Accounting Standards for BusinessEnterprises No. 20 - Business combination”. All profit or loss related to the transaction shall be accounted for.
The Company’s share of net losses of the investee shall be recognised to the extent that the carrying amount of the long-termequity investment together with any long-term interests that in substance form part of the investor’s net investment in the investee arereduced to zero. If the Company has to assume additional obligations, the estimated obligation assumed shall be provided for andcharged to the profit or loss as investment loss for the period. Where the investee is making profits in subsequent periods, theCompany shall resume recognising its share of profits after setting off against the share of unrecognised losses.
If there is debit variation in relation to the long-term equity investments in associates and joint venture held prior to firstadoption of the Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises by the Company on 1 January 2007, the amounts amortised over theoriginal residual term using the straight-line method is included in the profit or loss for the period.
③ Acquisition of minority interestUpon the preparation of the consolidated financial statements, capital reserve is adjusted based on the difference between theadditional long term equity investment from acquisition of minority interest and the share of net assets of the subsidiary attributableto the additional shareholding from the date of acquisition (or date of combination). In the case of insufficient capital surplus to offsetimpairment, retained earnings shall be adjusted.
④ Disposal of long-term equity investmentsIn these consolidated financial statements, for disposal of a portion of the long-term equity investments in a subsidiary withoutloss of control, the difference between disposal cost and disposal of long-term equity investments relative to the net assets of thesubsidiary is charged to the owners’ equity. If disposal of a portion of the long-term equity investments in a subsidiary by the parent
company results in a loss in control, it shall be accounted for in accordance with the relevant accounting policies as described in NoteV. 6. (2) “Preparation Method of the Consolidated Financial Statements”.
On disposal of a long-term equity investment otherwise, the difference between the carrying amount of the investment and theactual consideration paid is recognised through profit or loss in the current period.
In respect of long-term equity investment accounted for using equity method with the remaining equity interest after disposalalso accounted for using equity method, other comprehensive income previously under owners’ equity shall be accounted for inaccordance with the same accounting treatment for direct disposal of relevant asset or liability by investee on pro rata basis at thetime of disposal. The owners’ equity recognised for the movement of other owners’ equity (excluding net profit or loss, othercomprehensive income and profit distribution of investee) shall be transferred to profit or loss for the current period on pro rata basis.
In respect of long-term equity investment accounted for using cost method with the remaining equity interest after disposal alsoaccounted for using cost method, other comprehensive income recognised using equity method or the recognition and measurementstandard of financial instruments before obtaining control over the investee shall be accounted for in accordance with the sameaccounting treatment for direct disposal of relevant asset or liability by investee, and transferred to profit or loss for the current periodon pro rata basis. Movement of other owners’ equity (excluding net profit or loss, other comprehensive income and profit distributionunder net asset of investee accounted for and recognised using equity method) shall be transferred to profit or loss for the currentperiod on pro rata basis.
In the event of loss of control over investee due to partial disposal of equity investment by the Company, in preparing separatefinancial statements, the remaining equity interest which can apply common control or impose significant influence over the investeeafter disposal shall be accounted for using equity method. Such remaining equity interest shall be treated as accounting for usingequity method since it is obtained and adjustment was made accordingly. For the remaining equity interest which cannot applycommon control or impose significant influence over the investee after disposal, it shall be accounted for using the recognition andmeasurement standard of financial instruments. The difference between its fair value and carrying amount as at the date of losingcontrol shall be included in profit or loss for the current period. In respect of other comprehensive income recognised using equitymethod or the recognition and measurement standard of financial instruments before the Company obtained control over the investee,it shall be accounted for in accordance with the same accounting treatment for direct disposal of relevant asset or liability by investeeat the time when the control over investee is lost. Movement of other owners’ equity (excluding net profit or loss, othercomprehensive income and profit distribution under net asset of investee accounted for and recognised using equity method) shall betransferred to profit or loss for the current period at the time when the control over investee is lost. Of which, for the remaining equityinterest after disposal accounted for using equity method, other comprehensive income and other owners’ equity shall be transferredon pro rata basis. For the remaining equity interest after disposal accounted for using the recognition and measurement standard offinancial instruments, other comprehensive income and other owners’ equity shall be fully transferred.
In the event of loss of common control or significant influence over investee due to partial disposal of equity investment by theCompany, the remaining equity interest after disposal shall be accounted for using the recognition and measurement standard offinancial instruments. The difference between its fair value and carrying amount as at the date of losing common control orsignificant influence shall be included in profit or loss for the current period. In respect of other comprehensive income recognisedunder previous equity investment using equity method, it shall be accounted for in accordance with the same accounting treatment fordirect disposal of relevant asset or liability by investee at the time when equity method was ceased to be used. Movement of otherowners’ equity (excluding net profit or loss, other comprehensive income and profit distribution under net asset of investee accountedfor and recognised using equity method) shall be transferred to profit or loss for the current period at the time when equity methodwas ceased to be used.
The Company disposes its equity investment in subsidiary by a stage-up approach with several transactions until the controlover the subsidiary is lost. If the said transactions belong to “transactions in a basket”, each transaction shall be accounted for as asingle transaction of disposing equity investment of subsidiary and loss of control. The difference between the disposal considerationfor each transaction and the carrying amount of the corresponding long-term equity investment of disposed equity interest before lossof control shall initially recognised as other comprehensive income, and subsequently transferred to profit or loss arising from loss ofcontrol for the current period upon loss of control.
15. Investment property
Measurement of investment propertyMeasured by using the cost methodDepreciation or amortisation methodsInvestment property refers to real estate held to earn rentals or for capital appreciation, or both.Investment property is initially measured at cost. Subsequent expenditures related to an investment property shall be included incost of investment property only when the economic benefits associated with the asset will likely flow to the Company and its costcan be measured reliably. All other expenditures on investment property shall be included in profit or loss for the current period whenincurred.
The Company adopts cost method for subsequent measurement of investment property, which is depreciated using the samepolicy as that for buildings.
The method for impaired test of investment property and measurement of impairment provision are detailed in Note V. 20“Impairment of long-term assets”.
In the event that an owner-occupied property or inventories is converted to an investment property (or vice versa), upon theconversion, the property shall be stated at the carrying amount prior to the conversion.
In the event that an investment property is converted to an owner-occupied property, such property shall become fixed assets orintangible assets since the date of its conversion. In the event that an owner-occupied property is converted to real estate held to earn
rentals or for capital appreciation, such fixed assets or intangible assets shall become an investment property since the date of itsconversion. Investment property is measured at cost during its conversion. Upon the conversion, the property shall be stated at thecarrying amount prior to the conversion.
If an investment property is disposed of or if it withdraws permanently from use and no economic benefit will be obtained fromthe disposal, the recognition of it as an investment property shall be terminated. When an investment property is sold, transferred,retired or damaged, the amount of proceeds on disposal of the property net of the carrying amount and related tax and surcharges isrecognised in profit or loss for the current period.
16. Fixed assets(1) Conditions for recognition
Fixed assets are tangible assets that are held for use in the production or supply of goods or services, for rental to others, or foradministrative purposes; and have a useful life of more than one accounting year. Fixed assets are recognised only if the Company isvery likely to receive economic benefits from the asset and its cost can be measured reliably. A fixed asset shall be initially measuredat cost and the ef fect of any expected costs of abandoning the asset at the end of its use.

Estimated net residual value of a fixed asset is the estimated amount that the Company would currently obtain from disposal ofthe asset, after deducting the estimated costs of disposal, if the asset were already of the stage and in the condition expected at the endof its useful life.
(3) Recognition, accounting and depreciation method of fixed assets acquired under finance leases
Leases are classified as finance leases whenever the terms of the lease transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of assetownership to the lessee and titles to the assets may or may not eventually be transferred. For fixed assets acquired under financeleases, the basis for provision of leased assets depreciation is the same as that of self-owned fixed assets. When it can be reasonablydetermined that the ownership of a leased asset will be transferred at the end of the lease term, it is depreciated over the period ofexpected use; otherwise, the lease asset is depreciated over the shorter period of the lease term and the period of expected use.
17. Construction in progress
Construction in progress is recognised based on the actual construction cost, including all expenditures incurred for constructionprojects, capitalised borrowing costs for the construction in progress before it has reached the working condition for its intended use,and other related expenses during the construction period. A construction in progress is reclassified to fixed assets when it hasreached the working condition for its intended use.
The method for impaired test of construction in progress and measurement of impairment provision are detailed in Note IV. 20“Impairment of long-term asset”.
18. Borrowing costs
Borrowing costs include interest, amortisation of discounts or premiums related to borrowings, ancillary costs incurred inconnection with the arrangement of borrowings, and exchange differences arising from foreign currency borrowings. For borrowingcosts that are directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset, when expenditures for the assetand borrowing costs are being incurred, activities relating to the acquisition, construction or production of the asset that are necessaryto prepare the asset for its intended use or sale have commenced, such borrowing costs shall be capitalised as part of the cost of thatasset; and capitalisation shall discontinue when the qualifying asset is ready for its intended use or sale. Other borrowing costs shallbe recognised as expense in the period in which they are incurred.
Where funds are borrowed for a specific purpose, the amount of interest to be capitalised shall be the actual interest expenseincurred on that borrowing for the period less any bank interest earned from depositing the borrowed funds before being used intobanks or any investment income on the temporary investment of those funds. Where funds are borrowed for general purpose, theCompany shall determine the amount of interest to be capitalised on such borrowings by applying a capitalisation rate to the
weighted average of the excess amounts of cumulative expenditures on the asset over and above the amounts of specific-purposeborrowings. The capitalisation rate shall be the weighted average of the interest rates applicable to the general-purpose borrowings.
During the capitalisation period, exchange differences on a specific purpose borrowing denominated in foreign currency shall becapitalised. Exchange differences related to general-purpose borrowings denominated in foreign currency shall be included in profitor loss for the current period.
Qualifying assets are assets (fixed assets, investment property, inventories, etc.) that necessarily take a substantial period of timefor acquisition, construction or production to get ready for their intended use or sale.
Capitalisation of borrowing costs shall be suspended during periods in which the acquisition, construction or production of aqualifying asset is interrupted abnormally, when the interruption is for a continuous period of more than 3 months, until theacquisition, construction or production of the qualifying asset is resumed.
19. Intangible assets(1) Accounting method, useful life and impairment test
An intangible asset is an identifiable non-monetary asset without physical substance owned or controlled by the Company.An intangible asset shall be initially measured at cost. The expenditures incurred on an intangible asset shall be recognised ascost of the intangible asset only if it is probable that economic benefits associated with the asset will flow to the Company and thecost of the asset can be measured reliably. Other expenditures on an item asset shall be charged to profit or loss when incurred.
Land use right acquired shall normally be recognised as an intangible asset. Self-constructed buildings (e.g. plants), related landuse right and the buildings shall be separately accounted for as an intangible asset and fixed asset. For buildings and structurespurchased, the purchase consideration shall be allocated among the land use right and the buildings on a reasonable basis. In casethere is difficulty in making a reasonable allocation, the consideration shall be recognised in full as fixed assets.
An intangible asset with a finite useful life shall be stated at cost less estimated net residual value and any accumulatedimpairment loss provision and amortised using the straight-line method over its useful life when the asset is available for use.Intangible assets with indefinite life are not amortised.
The Company shall review the useful life of intangible asset with a finite useful life and the amortisation method applied at leastat each financial year-end. A change in the useful life or amortisation method used shall be accounted for as a change in accountingestimate. For an intangible asset with an indefinite useful life, the Company shall review the useful life of the asset in eachaccounting period. If there is evidence indicating that the useful life of that intangible asset is finite, an entity shall estimate the usefullife of that asset and apply the accounting policies accordingly.
(2) Accounting policy for internal research and development expenditure
Research and development expenditure of the Company was divided into expenses incurred during the research phase andexpenses incurred during the development phase.
Expenses incurred during the research phase are recognised as profit or loss in the current period.Expenses incurred during the development phase that satisfy the following conditions are recognised as intangible assets, whilethose that do not satisfy the following conditions are accounted for in the profit or loss for the current period:
① it is technically feasible that the intangible asset can be used or sold upon completion;② there is intention to complete the intangible asset for use or sale;③ the intangible asset can produce economic benefits, including there is evidence that the products produced using the intangibleasset has a market or the intangible asset itself has a market; and if the intangible asset is for internal use, there is evidence that thereexists usage for the intangible asset;④ there is sufficient support in terms of technology, financial resources and other resources in order to complete the development ofthe intangible asset, and there is capability to use or sell the intangible asset;⑤ the expenses attributable to the development phase of the intangible asset can be measured reliably.
If the expenses incurred during the research phase and the development phase cannot be distinguished separately, alldevelopment expenses incurred are accounted for in the profit or loss for the current period.
20. Impairment of long-term asset
The Company will judge if there is any indication of impairment as at the balance sheet date in respect of non-currentnon-financial assets such as fixed assets, construction in progress, intangible assets with a finite useful life, investment propertiesmeasured at cost, and long-term equity investments in subsidiaries, joint controlled entities and associates. If there is any evidenceindicating that an asset may be impaired, recoverable amount shall be estimated for impairment test. Goodwill, intangible assets withan indefinite useful life and intangible assets beyond working conditions will be tested for impairment annually, regardless ofwhether there is any indication of impairment.
If the impairment test result shows that the recoverable amount of an asset is less than its carrying amount, the impairmentprovision will be made according to the difference and recognised as an impairment loss. The recoverable amount of an asset is thehigher of its fair value less costs of disposal and the present value of the future cash flows expected to be derived from the asset. Anasset’s fair value is the price in a sale agreement in an arm’s length transaction. If there is no sale agreement but the asset is traded in
an active market, fair value shall be determined based on the bid price. If there is neither sale agreement nor active market for anasset, fair value shall be based on the best available information. Costs of disposal are expenses attributable to disposal of the asset,including legal fee, relevant tax and surcharges, transportation fee and direct expenses incurred to prepare the asset for its intendedsale. The present value of the future cash flows expected to be derived from the asset over the course of continued use and finaldisposal is determined as the amount discounted using an appropriately selected discount rate. Provisions for assets impairment shallbe made and recognised for the individual asset. If it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of the individual asset, theCompany shall determine the recoverable amount of the asset group to which the asset belongs. The asset group is the smallest groupof assets capable of generating cash flows independently.
For the purpose of impairment testing, the carrying amount of goodwill presented separately in the financial statements shall beallocated to the asset groups or group of assets benefiting from synergy of business combination. If the recoverable amount is le ssthan the carrying amount, the Company shall recognise an impairment loss. The amount of impairment loss shall first reduce thecarrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the asset group or set of asset groups, and then reduce the carrying amount of otherassets (other than goodwill) within the asset group or set of asset groups, pro rata on the basis of the carrying amount of each asset.
An impairment loss recognised on the aforesaid assets shall not be reversed in a subsequent period in respect of the restorablevalue.
21. Long-term prepaid expenses
Long-term prepaid expenses are expenditures and other expenses which have incurred but that shall be amortised over thecurrent period and subsequent periods of more than one year. Long-term prepaid expenses of the Company mainly include expenseson improvement of fixed assets and woodland rent. Long-term prepaid expenses are amortised over the estimated benefit periodusing the straight-line method.
22. Employee benefits(1) Accounting treatment for short-term staff remuneration
Short-term remuneration mainly includes salaries, bonuses, allowance and subsides, staff welfare, medical insurance premium,maternity insurance premium, work-related injury insurance premium, housing provident funds, union operation costs and employeeeducation costs and non-monetary welfare etc. Short-term remuneration incurred during the accounting period in which theCompany’s staff provided services for the Company is recognised as liability and included in profit or loss for the current period orrelated asset costs. Of which, non-monetary welfare is measured at fair value.
(2) Accounting treatment for post-employment benefits
Post-employment benefits mainly include pension insurance premium and unemployment insurance premium. Post-employmentbenefits mainly adopt defined contribution plan. Relevant contribution amount is included in related asset costs or profit or loss forthe current period during the period in which the expenses incurred.
(3) Accounting treatment for termination benefits
When the Company terminates the employment relationship with employees before the end of the employment contracts orprovides compensation as an offer to encourage employees to accept voluntary redundancy, the Company shall recognise employeecompensation liabilities arising from compensation for staff dismissal and included in profit or loss for the current period, when theCompany cannot revoke unilaterally compensation for dismissal due to the cancellation of labour relationship plans and employeeredundant proposals; and the Company recognise cost and expenses related to payment of compensation for dismissal andrestructuring, whichever is earlier. However, if the compensation for termination of employment is not expected to be fully paidwithin 12 months from the reporting period, it shall be accounted for other long-term staff remuneration.
(4) Accounting treatment for other long-term employee benefit
The Company does not provide any other long-term employee benefit for its staff.
23. Provisions
Obligations pertinent to the contingencies which satisfy the following conditions are recognised as provisions: (1) Theobligation is a current obligation borne by the Company; (2) it is likely that an outflow of economic benefits will be resulted from theperformance of the obligation; and (3) the amount of the obligation can be reliably measured.
At the balance sheet date, provisions shall be measured at the best estimate of the necessary expenses required for theperformance of existing obligations, after taking into account relevant risks, uncertainties, time value of money and other factors
pertinent to the contingencies.
If all or some expenses incurred for settlement of provisions are expected to be borne by the third party, the compensationamount shall, on a recoverable basis, be recognised as asset separately, and compensation amount recognised shall not be more thanthe carrying amount of provisions.

Other than financial instruments classified as equity instruments according to the above conditions, other financial instrumentsissued by the Company shall be classified as financial liabilities.
The financial instruments issued by the Company which are compound financial instruments are recognised as a liability basedon the fair value of the liability component, and the amount net of the fair value of the liability component from the actual amountreceived is recognised as “other equity instruments”. Transaction costs that relate to the issue of a compound financial instrument areallocated to the liability and equity components in proportion to the allocation of gross proceeds.
(2) Accounting treatment of perpetual bonds and preference sharesFor financial instruments classified as financial liabilities (such as perpetual bonds and preference shares), except borrowingcosts qualifying for capitalisation (please refer to this Note V. 18 “Borrowing costs”), its related interest, dividends, gains or losses,and gains or losses arising from redemption or refinancing are credited to profit or loss for the current period.
For financial instruments classified as equity instruments (such as perpetual bonds and preference shares), its issue (includingrefinancing), repurchase, sale or cancellation are treated by the Company as changes in equity, with related transaction costsdeducted from equity. The Company’s distribution to holders of equity instruments are treated as a distribution of profits.

(2) Deferred income tax assets and deferred income tax liabilitiesTemporary differences arising from the difference between the carrying amount of an asset or liability and its tax base, and thedifference between the tax base and the carrying amount of those items that are not recognised as assets or liabilities but have a taxbase that can be determined according to tax laws, shall be recognised as deferred income tax assets and deferred income taxliabilities using the balance sheet liability method.
Deferred income tax liabilities are not recognised for taxable temporary differences related to: the initial recognition of goodwill;and the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction which is neither a business combination nor affects accounting profitor taxable profit (or deductible loss) at the time of the transaction.

Chenming Paper recognises a deferred income tax asset for the carry forward of deductible losses and tax credits to subsequentperiods, to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the deductible losses and tax creditscan be utilised.
At the balance sheet date, deferred income tax assets and deferred income tax liabilities are measured at the tax rates that areexpected to apply to the period when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, according to the requirements of tax laws.
At the balance sheet date, Chenming Paper shall review the carrying amount of a deferred income tax asset. If it is probable thatsufficient taxable profits will not be available in future periods to allow the benefit of the deferred income tax asset to be utilised, thecarrying amount of the deferred income tax asset shall be reduced. Any such reduction in amount shall be reversed when it becomesprobable that sufficient taxable profits will be available.

Contingent rental is accounted for as profit or loss for the period in which it isincurred.
(2) Accounting treatment for finance leases
(1) Financing lease business with the Company recorded as lesseeOn the beginning date of the lease, the entry value of leased asset shall be at the lower of the fair value of the leased asset andthe present value of minimum lease payment at the beginning date of the lease. Minimum lease payment shall be the entry value oflong-term accounts payable, with difference recognised as unrecognised financing expenses. In addition, initial direct costsattributable to leased items incurred during the process of lease negotiation and signing of lease agreement shall be included in thevalue of leased assets. The balance of minimum lease payment after deducting unrecognised financing expenses shall be accountedfor long-term liability and long-term liability due within one year.
Unrecognised financing expenses shall be recognised as financing expenses for the current period using effective interestmethod during the leasing period. Contingent rent shall be included in profit or loss for the current period at the time it incurred.
(2) Financing lease business with the Company recorded as lessorOn the beginning date of the lease, the entry value of lease receivable shall be the aggregate of minimum lease receivable andinitial direct costs at the beginning date of the lease.

The balance of lease receivable after deducting unrecognised financing income shall be accounted for long-termdebt and long-term debt due within one year.
Unrecognised financing income shall be recognised as financing income for the current period using effective interest methodduring the leasing period. Contingent rent shall be included in profit or loss for the current period at the time it incurred.
(3) The debts arising from the financing lease business was provided for in the following manners:
① Individual assessment of impairmentWhen assessing the probability of recovery of lease receivables from a customer, the ability and willingness to pay leasepayments, and the payment record of the customer, profitability of the lease projects, and guarantees for leased assets will beanalysed. If there are evidences indicating that the customer is unable to repay and its willingness to repay is not strong, and theprincipal and interest are still not recoverable, or only a very small portion can be recovered, after taking all possible measures or allnecessary legal procedures, the receivables are subject to individual impairment assessment, and the difference between the presentvalue of the future cash flows expected to be derived from the receivables and the carrying amount shall be accounted for asprovision for bad debts and recognised in profit or loss.
② Collective assessment of impairment based on credit risk characteristicsAt the end of the period, each individual leasing contract is classified based on the amount past due and recovery, and the majorbasis for classification and provision for impairment are as follows:
Category Basis for classification Proportion of provision (%)Normal Not yet past due 0.30
Past due
90 days past due 5.0090 days - 1 year past due (inclusive) 10.001-2 years past due (inclusive) 30.002- 3 years past due (inclusive) 50.00Over 3 years past due 100.00③ No bad debt provision will be made for lease receivables fr om related parties unless there is objective evidence that the
Company is unable to recover the lease receivables from related parties.If there is objective evidence that the lease receivables from related parties are recovered and can be linked objectively to anevent occurring after the write-down, the impairment losses recognised will be reversed and accounted for in profit or loss. Thecarrying amount reversed shall not exceed the assumed amortised costs on the date of reversal of the lease receivables had noimpairment provision been made.
29. Other significant accounting policies and accounting estimates
(1) Discontinued operationsA discontinued operation is a separately identified component of the Group that either has been disposed of or is classified asheld for sale, and meets one of the following conditions: ① represents a separate major line of business or geographical area ofoperations; ② is part of a single co-ordinated plan to dispose of a separate major line of business or geographical area of operations;and ③ is a subsidiary acquired exclusively with a view to resale.

□ Applicable √ Not applicable
31. Others
The Company needs to make judgments, estimates and assumptions as to the carrying amount of statement items which cannotbe accurately calculated during the application of the Company’s accounting policies. Such judgments, estimates and assumptions aremade based on the historical experiences of the Company’s management and taking into account other relevant factors, which mayaffect the reported amount of revenue, expenses, assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent liabilities at the balance sheet date.However, the outcome from such estimate uncertainties may different from the current estimation of the Company’s management,which may cause critical adjustment to the carrying amount of assets or liabilities which may be affected in the future.
The Company regularly reviews the aforesaid judgments, estimates and assumptions on the basis of continued operation. Arevision to accounting estimates is recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if it only affects that period. A revision isrecognised in the period of the revision and future periods if it affects both current and future periods.
At the balance sheet date, the critical areas where Company needs to make judgments, estimates and assumptions as to the itemsamount of financial statements are set out below:
(1) Classification of leasesThe Company classifies its leases as operating lease and financing lease in accordance with “Accounting Standard for BusinessEnterprises No. 21 - Leases”. When classifying leases, the management needs to analyse and judge whether all risks and returnsrelating to the ownership of leased out assets have transferred to the leasee, or whether the Company has obliged to all risks andreturns relating to the ownership of leased assets.
(2) Provision for bad debtsThe Company adopts the allowance method to account for bad debt loss under the accounting policies of accounts receivable.Impairment of accounts receivable is based on the recoverability of assessed accounts receivable. Given the management’s judgmentand estimate required for impairment of accounts receivable, the difference between the actual outcome and original estimate willaffect the carrying amount of accounts receivable and provision and reversal of bad debts of accounts receivable during the estimaterevision period.
(3) Allowance for inventoriesUnder the accounting policies of inventories and by measuring at the lower of cost and net realisable value, the Company makesallowance for inventories which have costs higher than net realisable value or become obsolete and slow-moving. Write-down of
inventories to their net realisable values is based on the sale ability of the evaluated inventory and their net realisable values. Giventhe management’s judgments and estimates required for inventory impairment on the basis of definite evidence, purpose of holdingthe inventories and other factors, the difference between the actual outcome and original estimate will affect the carrying amount ofinventories and provision and reversal of bad debts of inventories allowance during the estimate revision period.
(4) Fair value of consumable biological assetsA consumable biological asset is measured at fair value when there is a stock. A stock is judged to be formed when theconsumable biological asset - timber survives well after a growth period and the merchantable timber exceeds 0.8 cubic metres.
The fair value of a consumable biological asset is discounted using expected cash flow and estimated and measured usingincome approach.
(5) Impairment of available-for-sale financial assetsIn respect of impairment of available-for-sale financial assets, whether impairment loss shall be recognised in income statementsignificantly depends on the judgments and assumptions of the management. While making judgments and assumptions, theCompany shall assess the excess of cost of the investee’ s identifiable net assets attributable to the investment over fair value and theduration.
(6) Provision for impairment of non-financial non-current assetsAt the balance sheet date, the Company makes its judgment as to whether there is any evidence indicating potential impairmentof non-current assets other than financial assets. Intangible assets with indefinite useful life shall be tested for impairment when thereis any indication of impairment in addition to the annual impairment testing. Other non-current assets other than financial assets shallbe tested for impairment if there is any evidence indicating that their carrying amount cannot be recovered.
When the carrying amount of an asset or asset groups is higher than the recoverable amount, being the higher of its fair valueless costs of disposal and the present value of the future cash flows expected to be derived from the asset, it indicates impairment.Where the fair value of an asset or an asset group does not have involved a sale agreement and an active market, the Company shallengage an expert to determine its fair value in a valuation.
The net amount of the fair value less costs of disposal is determined by making reference to the price in a sale agreement in anarm’s length transaction or the observable market price less the incremental costs directly attributable to such assets disposal.
In projecting the present value of the future cash flows, critical judgments shall be made to the output, selling price and relevantoperating costs of such assets (or asset groups) and the discount rate applied in calculating the discount. In estimating the recoverableamount, the Company may adopt all relevant materials including the projections as to the output, selling price and relevant operatingcosts based on reasonable and supportive assumptions.
The test shall be performed at least once a year as to whether there is any impairment. This requires an estimate for the presentvalue of the future cash flows of the asset groups or sets of asset groups to which goodwill is allocated. In estimating the presentvalue of the future cash flows, the Company needs to estimate the cash flows generated from the future asset groups or sets of assetgroups. Meanwhile, the present value of future cash flows is determined using an appropriately selected discount rate.
(7) Depreciation and amortisationThe Company shall provide depreciation and amortisation for investment properties, fixed assets and intangible assets over theiruseful lives and after taking into account of their residual value, using straight-line method. The Company shall regularly review theuseful lives to determine the amount depreciated and amortised to be accounted for in each reporting period. The useful life isdetermined by the Company according to its previous experience on the similar assets and estimated technical innovation. If there isany material change in the previously made estimate, the depreciation and amortisation will be adjusted over the future period.
(8) Deferred income tax assetsIt is probable that all unused tax loss will be recognised as the deferred income tax assets to the extent there will be sufficienttaxable profits against which the deducible loss is available. This requires the Company’s management to apply numerous judgmentsto estimate the time and amount generated from the future taxable profits so as to determine the amount of deferred income tax assetswith reference to the tax planning strategy.
(9) Income taxThere are some uncertainties in tax treatment and calculation for some transactions of the Company during its ordinary course ofbusiness. The approval from the tax authority is required for pre-tax expe nding of some items. Any difference between the finalrecognition outcome of such tax matters and the initially estimated amount will exert an effect on the current income tax and deferredincome tax during their final recognition period.

(2) Provision for impairment of goodwill
Description of the test process and parameters for goodwill impairment as well as the recognition method for goodwillimpairment loss:
On the balance sheet date, the management of the Group assessed the recoverable amount of cash generating unit which resultsin goodwill, in order to determine whether to make provision for impairment loss accordingly. The recoverable amount ofcash-generating unit was determined based on the estimated cash flow in the financial budget for the next five years by themanagement, relying on the expected annual growth rate in GNP and the expected and steady annual growth rate in the industry bymarket players to calculate. Management of the Group expects no provision for impairment loss is necessary to be made for goodwillduring the reporting period.
