The product mix of the Company has gradually diversified into eight major product series which focus on high
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.

I. Principal operations of the Company during the Reporting Period (Cont’d)
(II) General information of the industries where the Company operated in during the reporting period
1. Paper making industry
Since 2017, China’s economy extended its development trend at stable pace, and gradually showed steady
growth with favourable momentum. The growth in production and consumption in the paper making industry was
closely related to the domestic economic development. Benefiting from the continuous stable macroeconomic
growth, the development of the paper making industry was going to maintain stable growth in the long run. In
recent years, the central government had been introducing various industry policies such as production capacity
reduction, the supply-side reform, ten rules regarding water pollution and ten rules regarding air pollution. Different
measures such as setting higher emission standards and strictly restricting corporate scale and structure, put
stricter restrictions on the enterprises in the paper making industry and forced those enterprises with backward
production capacity to actively exit the paper making market.
On 5 January 2017, the Ministry of Environmental Protection issued the Interim Provisions for the Administration
of Pollutant Discharge License, which mainly focuses on granting permits for pollution treatment facilities, and
emission concentration, emission volume and management of pollutants. Pursuant to the Interim Provisions,
all enterprises in the thermal power industry and the paper making industry must possess permits for pollutant
discharge from 1 July 2017 onwards. More small enterprises may be eliminated due to stricter environmental
protection policy. The implementation of the licensing system for pollutant discharge will be favourable for leading
enterprises.
With the continuous introduction of production capacity reduction, the supply-side reform and other policies,
the environmental protection policy had become stricter. The elimination of backward production capacity in the
paper making industry progressed smoothly. New production capacity mainly came from large enterprises. It
was expected that the industry concentration ratio was going to further increase. Since the second half of 2016,
there was a general increase in prices in the paper making industry in China due to the increased costs of, among
other things, wood pulp, waste paper, logistics and coal. Product prices rose with a boom in the industry to be
prolonged.
The improvement in the supply in the industry effectively boosted the dual growth in revenue and profitability of
the enterprises in the paper making industry. The downstream demand in the paper making industry continued
to grow along with the domestic economic growth. The turning point in the supply and demand structure in the
industry gradually developed with a boom in the industry to be prolonged.
2. Financial leasing industry
The Guiding Opinions on Accelerating the Development of Financial Leasing Industry and the Guiding Opinions on
Promoting the Sound Development of Financial Leasing Industry were issued by the State Council in 2015. As the
first national policy on promoting the financial leasing industry in China, the above opinions had paved the way for
the development of the financial leasing industry in the future.
Under the new normal of the economic development, the financial leasing industry in China entered its golden
years. According to the Report on the Development of Financial Leasing Industry in China for the First Quarter of
2017 jointly issued by the China Leasing Alliance and Tianjin Binhai Financial Leasing Research Institute, there
were approximately 7,626 enterprises engaging in financial leasing in China as at the end of March 2017. The
outstanding financial leasing contracts amounted to approximately RMB5.54 trillion, representing an increase of
3.9% as compared to the end of last year. According to the Research Report on Business Prospects Survey of
and Investment Strategies in the China Financial Leasing Industry 2016-2021 issued by ASKCI Consulting Co.,
Ltd., the financial leasing industry will grow at a compound annual growth rate of over 20% in the future and it is
expected that the output of the industry will amount to RMB20.79 trillion by 2021. The business prospects of the
financial leasing industry in China are promising.

III Business Overview
IV. Analysis of Core Competitiveness
Whether the Company needs to comply with the disclosure requirements of specific industries
No
The Company is a leading player in the paper making industry of China. After entrepreneurship and innovation for more than
half a century, it has developed into a large and integrated modern conglomerate principally engaged in pulp production,
paper making, finance and forestry businesses while also involved in forestry, logistics, construction materials, hotel operation
and others. It is also the only listed company with A shares, B shares, H shares and preference shares in issue in China and

industrial activities in China. Compared with other enterprises in the industry, the Company has the following advantages:
1. Scale advantages
After years of development, the Company, being a leading player in the paper making industry in China, has achieved
annual pulp and paper production capacity of over 10 million tonnes and is capable to compete with international paper
making enterprises in scale. The large-scale centralised production and operation model has provided the Company
with obvious economic benefits. The Company also has strong market influence over raw material procurement, product
pricing and industry policymaking.
2. Product advantages
While the production scale of the Company is expanding rapidly, its product mix also continues to optimise. In recent
years, the Company has built production lines for cultural paper such as high-end coated paper, high-end food
packaging paper and high-end white paper board. The product mix of the Company has gradually diversified into five
major paper types, namely printing paper, packaging paper, office paper, industrial paper and household paper, and
formed the eight major product series which focus on high 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. Thus, the Company has become the enterprise that offers the widest product range in China’s paper
making industry. Diversification and gentrification of the product mix has not only greatly enhanced the Company’s
ability to withstand market risks, but also enabled the Company to maintain a relatively high profitability.
3. Advantages in technical equipment
The Company’s overall technical equipment has reached the advanced international level. The major production
equipment has been imported from internationally renowned manufacturers, including Valmet, Ahlstrom and Metso of
Finland, Voith of Germany and TBC of the United States. The equipment such as advanced dilution headboxes, top

development of the industry. The Company has high profitability and credit status, and has maintained long-term stable
cooperative relations with its bankers, which provide the Company with an unobstructed indirect financing capacity.
Since its listing, the Company has maintained good operating results and a sound corporate governance structure. It
has conducted several financing activities in domestic and foreign capital markets. As the funds obtained have been
applied effectively with good market image, the Company has stronger abilities in direct financing in the capital market.
6. Team advantages
The key management members and the core personnel of the Company remain stable. In the business development of
Chenming Paper, an internal corporate culture developed by the stable core staff team favourable to the growth of the
Company consolidates the management experience specific to the industry, thus resulting in a team advantage blended
with management and culture. Meanwhile, the Company has attracted experienced professionals with financial, legal,
financial management backgrounds through its advanced management philosophy and ample room for development.
The high quality and professional team secures the sustainable development of the Company with a solid supply of
talents.
7. Advantages in environmental governance capacity

alkali recovery system, middle water treatment system, white water recovery system and black liquor comprehensive
utilisation system. The environmental emission indicators of the Company rank high among industry peers. Besides, the
national policy of eliminating backward production capacity will facilitate the development of the paper making industry
while the replenishment and replacement of advanced production capacity will bring new blood and momentum into the
paper making industry, favouring industry concentration to establish a sound industry cycle.

X. Outlook on the future development of the Company
(I) Competition overview and development trend of the industry
Paper making industry
The growth in production and consumption in the paper making industry is closely related to the domestic economic
development. Benefiting from the continuous stable macroeconomic growth, the development of the paper making
industry will maintain stable growth in the long run. In recently years, the central government has been introducing
various industry policies such as production capacity reduction, the supply-side reform, ten rules regarding water
pollution and ten rules regarding air pollution. Different measures such as setting higher emission standards and
strictly restricting corporate scale and structure put stricter restrictions on the enterprises in the paper making industry
and force those enterprises with backward production capacity to actively exit the paper making market. With the
continuous introduction of production capacity reduction, the supply-side reform and other policies, the environmental
protection policy has becoming stricter. The elimination of backward production capacity in the paper making industry
has been progressing smoothly. New production capacity mainly comes from large enterprises. It is expected that the
industry concentration ratio will further increase. The improvement in the supply in the industry has effectively boosted
the dual growth in revenue and profitability of the enterprises in the paper making industry. The downstream demand
in the paper making industry will continue to grow along with the domestic economic growth. The turning point in the
supply and demand structure in the industry has gradually developed with a boom in the industry to be prolonged.
Financial leasing industry
As the financial reforms advance further, the integration of industrial capital and financial capital gradually accelerate
in China. The financial leasing industry as a favoured supplementary corporate financing channel and an effective tool
to use assets at hand embraces continuously mounting market demand. Since the implementation of the “Thirteenth
Five Year Plan”, the accelerated urbanisation and industrialisation in China, the change in driver of economic growth,
upgrade of traditional industries, development of emerging industries, and continuous infrastructure construction require
substantial investment in fixed assets. China will become the largest leasing market in the world. According to the
Research Report on Business Prospects Survey of and Investment Strategies in the China Financial Leasing Industry
2016-2021 issued by ASKCI Consulting Co. LTD, the financial leasing industry will grow at a compound annual growth
rate of over 20% in the future and it is expected that the outstanding leasing contracts of the financial leasing industry in
China will amount to RMB20.79 trillion by 2021.
In view of the establishment and optimisation of trading rules, accounting standards, industry regulation and tax policies
for the financial leasing industry, the financial leasing in China has been evolving into modern leasing at high speed.
In the future, the size of the financial leasing business in China will expand significantly. Financial leasing will become
an important alternative of financing for enterprises, especially small and medium-sized enterprises. The business
prospects of the financial leasing industry in China are promising.

Making reference to renowned enterprises, the Company will improve the living standards of staff quarters through
further improvement in basic facilities and amenities. The Company will commence physical training and testing
for staff to improve their physical quality. Focusing on green landscaping, the Company will build more garden-like
factory areas so as to create a more pleasant working environment for employees.
(IV) Future capital requirements, source of funds and plan for use
The Company has established business segments for its core business, namely, pulp production, paper making,
finance and forestry. With the further development of the existing principal businesses of the Company, the future
capital requirements of the Company will be: (1) investment in the existing projects under construction and proposed
new projects; (2) consistent investment in the existing production facilities because of technological transformation or
production expansion; and (3) business expansion and general working capital requirements. As the demand for capital
has been growing for the Company’s production and operation, there is a strong need to replenish the working capital
to enhance the Company’s capability for sustainable operations.
In order to meet the business development requirements of the Company and further extend and expand the industry
chain, the Company will establish diversified financing channels and increase the proportion of direct financing through
diversified financing channels such as private placement, corporate bonds, perpetual bonds, short-term financing
papers and cross-border financing so as to improve the debt structure of the Company and provide stable financial
support for the operation and development of the Company.
The Company will use RMB3.7 billion from private placement to reduce the cost of paper making. The investment in the
400,000-tonne chemical pulp project through private placement will improve the self-sufficiency of pulp of the Company
and the raw materials structure of the paper making segment, in the expectation of reducing the production costs of
paper making and enhancing profitability of paper making business. At the same time, non-public issuance of shares will
optimise the debt structure and reduce financial costs as well as the gearing ratio. Diversified financing channels to meet
the Company’s capital requirements: (1) The Company will reduce the financing costs and optimise the capital structure
by issuing corporate bonds, medium-term notes, short-term financing, super short-term financing, perpetual bonds
and other means for financing so as to provide financial support for the Company’s long-term healthy development. (2)
The Company will facilitate cross-border financing by making full use of the financing platform in Hong Kong market
to increase its credit line. Besides, the Company will also mitigate exchange rate risk through multi-currency financing
and improve the efficiency of use of capital to reduce financial costs. As at the end of June 2017, the credit lines utilised
by the Company amounted to RMB42.0 billion and the credit lines obtained by the Company amounted to RMB72.3
billion with an utilisation rate of 58.09%. (3) The Company will make use of the advantages of the Finance Company
and the Financial Leasing Company in the financial industry to expand the financing channels for the Group, bring new
momentum for business development.

IV Discussion and Analysis of Operations
XI. Risk exposures of the Company and the measures to be taken
1. Risk on paper making industry
Policy risk
The paper making industry is a basic raw materials industry and its growth has been faster than the average growth
of the national economy in recent years. However, the paper making industry’s profitability is closely correlated to
the economic cycle, and the industry is therefore a cyclical industry fluctuating with the national macroeconomic
performance, which will further affect the profitability of the Company.
Hence, following the principles of scientific development and quality and efficiency enhancement, the Company will
comprehensively improve its industrial structure and regional layout through the integration between its production and
manufacture segment and financial services segment, and incorporation of smart technology into its industrial activities.
The Company will emphasise on the development of leading businesses including paper making, finance and forestry so
as to construct an efficient industrial system with synergies.
Market fluctuation risk
With 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-known paper making enterprises overseas have also directly set up production bases in China
through sole proprietorship or joint ventures so as to participate in the domestic market competition by virtue of their
advantages in size and technology. Besides, tariff reduction on China 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
for high-end paper industry so as to increase the proportion of high-end paper. In recent years, the Company has been
expanding its business size and optimising its product mix and has set up a few production lines for high-end paper.
A diversified and high-end product mix enables the Company to spread market risk and strengthen the resistance
towards market volatility. Besides, as high-end products have better profit margins, the Company can increase the
proportion of high-end products through consistent improvement in product mix, thereby enhancing its profitability and
comprehensive competitiveness.
Risk of overcapacity and slowdown in demand
Overcapacity is a prominent problem in the paper making and paper product industry in China such that there has
been fierce competition among enterprises. Since 2013, affected by slowdown in the macroeconomic growth, the
demand in paper making industry has been weak. At the same time, as China has encouraged energy conservation
and emission reduction, the backward production capacity will be phased out, and the new projects will significantly
realise economies of scale. By virtue of the economies of scale in the paper making industry, the production capacity
of individual paper making projects under construction and planning for 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
quality and focus on the research and development of high-end products so as to improve its competitiveness.

INTERIM REPORT 2017
IV Discussion and Analysis of Operations
XI. Risk exposures of the Company and the measures to be taken (Cont’d)
1. Risk on paper making industry (Cont’d)
Risk of price fluctuation of raw materials
The major raw materials used by the Company are wood pulp and waste paper. The market prices of wood pulp and
waste paper fluctuate 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 of a number of paper products were not in line with the increases in prices of raw
materials. The market price fluctuation of raw materials 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
the construction of the Zhanjiang Chenming pulp project, the Huanggang Chenming pulp project and the Shouguang
chemical pulp project, thereby eliminating the limitations of upstream resources on the Company’s development and
enhancing the Company’s sustainable development.
Risk of change in environmental protection policies
China has been raising the standards for environmental protection in recent years. The new Environmental Protection
Law took effect on 1 January 2015. More stringent environmental protection policies have been implemented in the
paper making industry. A multi-pronged approach has been adopted to promote industrial restructuring, and the paper
making industry has entered into an important transitional period of development. A higher emission standard is bound
to increase the Company’s environmental protection 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.
The Company will endeavour to develop the recycling economy through waste exchange and recycling and strive to
maximise its resource utilisation. Meanwhile, the Company will make greater efforts to construct environment friendly
projects and strive to achieve its waste emission target.
2. Risk on financial leasing business
Policy risk
Recently, the financial leasing business is regulated by the commerce departments at different levels instead of being
directly regulated 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 policies for the financial leasing industry, the Company’s financial leasing business may be
adversely affected, in turn harming the Company’s profitability.
In September 2015, the General Office of the State Council promulgated the Guiding Opinions on Accelerating the
Development of Financial Leasing Industry, which formulated comprehensive systematic planning on accelerating
the development of the financial leasing industry. The financial leasing industry embraced a rare opportunity for leap-
forward development. In February 2016, the General Office of People’s Government of Shandong Province promulgated
the Opinions of the General Office of People’s Government of Shandong Province on Accelerating the Development
of Financial Leasing Industry by Implementing Document Guo Ban 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.

IV Discussion and Analysis of Operations
XI. Risk exposures of the Company and the measures to be taken (Cont’d)
2. Risk on financial leasing business (Cont’d)
Liquidity risk
In a market economy, the macroeconomic operation tends to be in cycles and the Company is inevitably affected by
those cycles. At the same time, there is fierce competition in the financial industry and the interest margin is a main
source of income for the financial leasing business. The market interest rate is affected by the benchmark interest rate
of the People’s Bank of China, the macroeconomic environment, market demand and supply and other factors, bringing
uncertainties to the fluctuation of the market interest 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 will
comprehensively improve its industrial structure and regional layout through the integration between its production and
manufacture segment and financial services segment, and incorporation of smart technology into its industrial activities.
The Company will emphasise on the development of leading businesses including paper making, finance and forestry so
as to construct an efficient industrial system with synergies.
Credit risk
The Company may suffer from loss if the lessees of its financial leasing business cannot make full rental payment on
time due to any reason and there are abuses on equipment or any other short-term behaviour. Although the risk of such
rental being unrecoverable is minimal, the Company will also make bad debt provision as required under its accounting
policy. If such amounts cannot 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 the Company’s projects. Besides, the Company usually cooperates with state-owned enterprises
and local governments, so it has strong risk resistance and low risk of default. The Company does not have any non-
performing or overdue loans so far. Chenming Leasing will develop quality customers and strengthen risk management
so as to enhance risk resistance and maintain high quality services.
Operation risk
Recently, there is still a gap between the practitioners working in the financial leasing industry and those working in
traditional financial institutions such as banks in terms of their expertise and experience in financial profession in China.
There is also a large gap in terms of investment in infrastructure. If internal control procedures are not implemented
properly and involve operation risk as a 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
leasing company 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 the key business procedures including quotation, guarantee review, contract signing,
leased assets management and archives management.

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
reporting entity. Business combinations are divided into business combinations under common control and not under
common control.
(1) Business combinations under common control
A business combination involving enterprises under common control is a business combination in which all of the
combining enterprises 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 the absorbing 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 recorded by the party being merged. The difference between the carrying amount of the net assets
obtained and the carrying amount of the consideration paid for the combination (or the aggregate nominal value
of shares issued as consideration) is charged to the capital reserve (share capital premium). If the capital reserve
(share capital premium) is not sufficient to absorb the difference, any excess shall 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 in the period in which they are incurred.
(2) Business combination not under common control
A business combination not involving enterprises under common control is a business combination in which
all of the combining enterprises are not ultimately controlled by the same party or parties before and after the
combination. For a business combination not involving enterprises under common control, the party that, on the
acquisition date, obtains control of another enterprise 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 effectively obtains control of the acquiree.
For business combination involving entities not under common control, the cost of a business combination is the
aggregate of the fair values, on the date of acquisition, of assets given, liabilities incurred or assumed, and equity
instruments issued by the acquirer to be paid by the acquirer, in exchange for control of the acquire plus agency
fee such as audit, legal service and evaluation consultation and other management fees charged to the profit or
loss for the period when incurred. Transaction cost attributable to equity or debt securities issued by the acquirer
as consideration is included in the initial costs. Contingent consideration involved is charged to the combination
cost at its fair value on the acquisition date, in the event that adjustment on the contingent consideration is
required as a result of new or additional evidence in relation to circumstances existed on the acquisition date
emerges within twelve months from the acquisition date, the combination goodwill shall also be adjusted. The
combination cost incurred by the acquirer and the identifiable net assets acquired from the combination are
measured at their fair values on the acquisition date. Where the cost of a business 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 value of 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 the cost of combination is still less than the acquirer’s interest in the fair
value of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets, the difference is charged to profit or loss for the period.

(Cont’d)
(2) Business combination not under common control (Cont’d)
In relation to the deductible temporary difference acquired from the acquiree, which was not recognised as
deferred tax assets due to non-fulfilment of the recognition criteria at the date of the acquisition, if new or
further information that is obtained within 12 months after the acquisition date indicates that related conditions
at the acquisition date already existed, and that the implementation of the economic benefits brought by the
deductible temporary difference of the acquiree can be expected, the relevant deferred tax assets shall be
recognised and goodwill shall be deducted. When the amount of goodwill is less than the deferred tax assets that
shall be recognised, the difference shall be recognised in the profit or loss of the period. Except for the above
circumstances, deferred tax assets 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 be judged whether they belong to “transactions in a basket” in accordance with the judgement
standards on “transactions in a basket” as set out in the Notice of the Ministry of Finance on Issuing Accounting
Standards for Business Enterprises Interpretation No. 5 (Cai Kuai [2012] No. 19) and Rule of 51 to “Accounting
Standard for Business Enterprises No. 33 – Consolidated Financial Statements”(see Note V. 6 (2)). If they
belong to “transactions in a basket”, they are accounted for with reference to the descriptions as 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
equity investment in the acquiree held prior to the acquisition date and the investment cost newly added as at the
acquisition date. In respect of any other comprehensive income attributable to the equity interest in the acquiree
prior to the acquisition date, other comprehensive income is accounted for on the same accounting treatment
as direct disposal of relevant asset or liability by the acquiree at the time of disposal (i.e. to be transferred to
investment income for the period, except for the changes arising from re-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 fair value as at the acquisition date, and the difference between the fair value and the carrying
amount is recognised as investment income for the current period. In respect of any other comprehensive income
attributable to the equity interest in the acquiree held prior to the acquisition date, other comprehensive income
is accounted for on the same accounting treatment as direct disposal of relevant asset or liability by the acquiree
(i.e. to be transferred to investment income at the acquisition date, except for the changes arising from re-
measuring net assets or net liabilities of defined benefit plan using the equity method attributable to the acquiree)
is transferred 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 statements
The 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 the investee and the ability to use its power over the investee to affect the amount of
those returns. The scope of consolidation includes the 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 in relevant elements involved in the definition of control above.
(2) Basis for preparation of the consolidated financial statements
Subsidiaries are consolidated from the date on which the Company obtains net assets and the effective control of
decision making of production and operation and are deconsolidated from the date that such control ceases. For
disposal of subsidiaries, the operating results and cash flows of such subsidiaries before the date of disposal are
properly included into the consolidated income statement and consolidated cash flow statements; for disposal of
subsidiaries during the reporting period, no adjustment shall be made to the opening balance of the consolidated
balance sheet. For those subsidiaries acquired through business combination not under common control, the
operating results and cash flows after the acquisition date have been properly included in the consolidated income
statements and consolidated cash flow statements. No adjustments shall be made to the opening balance of the
consolidated balance sheet and the comparative consolidated financial statements amount. For those subsidiaries
acquired through business combinations under common control, the operating results and cash flows from the
beginning of the consolidation period to the consolidation date are also presented in the consolidated income
statement and the consolidated cash flow statements. The comparative 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 the Company in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements, where the
accounting policies and the accounting periods are inconsistent between the Company and the subsidiaries. For
acquisition of subsidiaries arising from merger of entities not under same control, the financial statements of the
subsidiaries will be adjusted according to the fair value of the identifiable net assets at the acquisition date.
All intra-company 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 the Company are presented under shareholders’ equity and net profit in the consolidated financial
statements as minority interests and net profit of minority interest respectively. The portion of net profit or loss
of subsidiaries for the period attributable to minority interest is presented in the consolidated income statement
under the “profit or loss of minority interest”. When the amount of loss attributable to the minority shareholders of
a subsidiary exceeds the minority shareholders’ portion of the opening balance of owners’ equity of the subsidiary,
the excess amount shall be allocated against minority interest.

6. Preparation of consolidated financial statements (Cont’d)
(2) Basis for preparation of the consolidated financial statements (Cont’d)
For the loss of control over a subsidiary due to disposal of a portion of the equity investment or other reasons,
the remaining equity 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 subsidiary calculated continuously since the purchase date based on the
shareholding percentage before disposal are recognised as investment income in the period when the control is
lost. Other comprehensive income related to equity investment in the subsidiary is accounted for on the same
accounting treatment as direct disposal of relevant asset or liability by the acquiree at the time when the control
is lost (i.e. to be transferred to investment income, except for the changes arising from re-measuring net assets
or net liabilities of defined benefit plan of the subsidiary using the equity method). The remaining equity interests
are measured subsequently according to “Accounting Standard for Business Enterprises No. 2 – Long-term
Equity Investments” or “Accounting Standard for Business Enterprises No. 22 – Recognition and Measurement of
Financial Instruments”. See Note V. 14 “Long-term equity 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 the control over the subsidiary is lost, it shall determine whether these several transactions
related to the disposal of equity investment in a subsidiary until the control over the subsidiary is lost belong to
“transactions in a basket”. Usually, these several transactions related to the disposal of equity investment in a
subsidiary are accounted for as transactions in a basket when the terms, conditions and economic impacts of
these several transactions meet the following one or more conditions: these transactions are entered into at the
same time or after considering their impacts on each other; these transactions as a whole can reach complete
business results; the occurrence of a transaction depends on at least the occurrence of another transaction;
an individual transaction is not 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 a subsidiary without losing control over a
subsidiary” (see Note V. 14 (2) ) separately, and “the control over a subsidiary is lost due to partial disposal
of equity investment or other reasons” (see the preceding paragraph). When several transactions related to the
disposal of equity investment in a subsidiary until the control over the subsidiary is lost belong to transactions
in a basket, each of which is accounted for as disposal of a subsidiary with a transaction until the control over a
subsidiary is lost; however, the different between the amount of disposal prior to the loss of control and the net
assets of a subsidiary attributable to the disposal investment shall be recognised as other comprehensive income
in consolidated financial statements and transferred to profit or loss at the time when 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 rights and obligations under a joint arrangement, the Company classifies joint arrangements into: joint
ventures and joint operations. Joint operations 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
accounting policies as set out in Note V. 14 (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
recognise assets held and obligations assumed jointly by the Company in appropriation to the share of the Company;
recognise revenue from disposal of the share of joint operations of the Company; recognise fees solely occurred by
Company and recognise fees from joint operations 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 or purchase assets from joint operations, the Company shall only recognise the part of profit or lost from
this transaction attributable to other parties of joint operations before these assets are sold to the third party. If
the occurrence of these assets meet the impairment loss of asset as set out in “Accounting Standard for Business
Enterprises No. 8 – Asset Impairment”, the Company shall recognise the full amount of this loss in relation to the
Company invests in or sells assets to joint operations; the Company recognise the loss according 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 are readily 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 transactions
The foreign currency transactions of the Company, when initially recognised, are translated into the functional
currency at the prevailing spot exchange rate on the date of exchange, i.e. the middle price of RMB exchange
rate published by the People’s Bank of China on that date in general and the same hereinafter, while the foreign
currency exchange operations and transactions in connection with foreign currency exchange shall be translated
into the functional currency at the exchange rate actually adopted.

9. Foreign currency operations and translation of statements denominated in foreign currency (Cont’d)
(2) Basis for translation of foreign currency monetary items and foreign currency non-monetary items
On the balance sheet date, foreign currency monetary items shall be translated at the spot exchange rate on the
balance sheet date. All differences are included in the profit or loss in the period, except for: the differences
arising from foreign currency borrowings related to the acquisition or construction of fixed assets that are qualified
for capitalisation will be accounted for according to the principle of capitalisation; and 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 to foreign operations and foreign currency monetary items materially constitute net investment
in foreign operations shall be recorded into “other comprehensive income”; disposal of foreign operations shall be
included into profits and losses on disposal in the current period.
The foreign currency non-monetary items measured at historical cost shall still be measured by the functional
currency translated at the spot exchange rate on the date of the transaction. Foreign currency non-monetary
items measured at fair value are translated at the spot exchange rate on the date of determination of the fair value.
The difference between the amounts of the functional currency before and after the translation will be treated as
changes in fair value (including changes in foreign exchange rates) and recognised in profit or loss for the period
or recognised as other comprehensive income.
(3) Basis for translation of foreign currency financial statements
Exchange differences arising from change in exchange rate where the preparation of consolidated financial
statements relates to foreign operations and foreign currency monetary items materially constitute net investment
in foreign operations shall be recorded into “other comprehensive income” under “translation reserve”; disposal of
foreign operations shall be included into profits and losses on disposal in the current period.
The financial statements denominated in foreign currency of a foreign operation are translated to RMB in
compliance with the following requirements: assets and liabilities on the balance sheet are translated at the
spot exchange rate prevailing at the balance sheet date; owner’s equity items except for “retained profit” are
translated at the spot exchange rates at the dates on which such items arose; income and expenses items in the
income statement are translated at the spot exchange rate at the date of transaction. The retained profit brought
forward are reported at the prior year’s closing balance; the retained profit as at the end of the year are presented
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 foreign currencies” in other comprehensive income. On disposal of foreign operations and loss
of control, exchange differences arising from the translation of financial statements denominated in foreign
currencies related to the disposed foreign operations which has been included in owners’ equity in the balance
sheet, shall be transferred to profit or loss in whole or in proportionate share in the period in which 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.

(3) Basis for translation of foreign currency financial statements (Cont’d)
On disposal of the entire owners’ equity in a foreign operation of the Company, or upon a loss of control over
a foreign operation due to disposal of certain equity investment or other reasons, the Company transfers the
exchange differences arising on translation 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 operation without losing control over it, the proportionate share of exchange differences arising from
the translation of financial statements will be attributable to minority interests and will not recognised in profit
or loss. For partial disposals of equity interests in foreign operations which are associates or joint ventures, the
proportionate share of the exchange differences arising from the translation of financial 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 financial
instrument contract. Financial assets and financial liabilities are initially recognised at fair value, except for equity
instruments that are not quoted in an active market, the fair value of which cannot be reliably measured and over
relevant investees of which the Company does not have control, joint control or significant influence, and debt financing
instruments subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. For financial assets and
financial liabilities measured at fair value and whose changes are carried through profit or loss, relevant transaction
costs are directly recognised in profit or loss for the period. For financial assets and financial liabilities classified as other
categories, relevant transaction costs are included in the amount initially recognised.
(1) Determination of fair values for financial assets and financial liabilities
The 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 an orderly transaction between market participants on the date of measurement. Financial instruments
exist in an active market. Fair value is determined based on the quoted price in such market. An active market
refers to where pricing is easily and regularly obtained from exchanges, brokers, industrial organisations and
price fixing service organisations, representing the actual price of a market transaction that takes place in a fair
deal. While financial instruments do not exist in an active market, the fair value is determined using valuation
techniques. Valuation technologies include reference to be familiar with situation and prices reached in recent
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 financial assets
Conventionally traded financial assets shall be recognised and derecognised at the trading date. Financial assets
shall be classified into loans and accounts receivable, available-for-sale financial assets and others for initial
recognition.
Loans and receivables
They are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an
active market. Financial assets, including bills receivable, accounts receivable, interest receivable, dividends
receivable and other receivables are classified as loans 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.
Available-for-sale financial assets
Available-for-sale financial assets represent equity instruments over relevant investees of which the
Company does not have control, 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 are recognised as other comprehensive income, except for impairment loss and exchange differences
arising from foreign monetary financial assets and amortised cost which are accounted for through
profit or loss for the current period. The financial assets will be transferred out of the financial assets on
derecognition and accounted for through profit or loss for the current period. However, for equity investment
of which the Company does not have control, joint control or significant influence, not quoted in an active
market and 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 as investment income.

(3) Impairment of financial assets
The Company reviews the carrying amount of financial assets on each balance sheet date and provides for
impairment where there 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 financial asset that is not individually significant, the Company assess the asset individually for impairment or
include the asset in a group of financial assets with similar credit risk characteristics and collectively assess them
for impairment. If it is determined that no objective evidence of impairment exists for an individually assessed
financial asset, whether the financial asset is individually significant or not, the financial asset is included in a
group of financial assets with similar credit risk characteristics and collectively assessed for impairment. Financial
assets for which an impairment loss is individually recognised are not included in the collective assessment for
impairment.
Impairment of loans and receivables
The carrying amount of financial assets measured as costs or amortised costs are subsequently reduced
to the present value discounted from its projected future cash flow. The reduced amount is recognised as
impairment loss and recorded as profit or loss for the period. After recognition of the impairment loss from
financial assets, if there is objective evidence showing recovery in value of such financial assets impaired
and which is related to any event occurring after such recognition, the impairment loss originally recognised
shall be reversed to the extent that the carrying amount of the financial assets upon reversal will not exceed
the amortised cost as at the reversal date assuming there is no provision for impairment.
Impairment of available-for-sale financial assets
In the event that decline in fair value of the available-for-sale equity instrument or fair value of the interest in
the investee’s identifiable net assets is regarded as “severe decline” or “non-temporary decline” on the basis
of comprehensive related factors, it indicates that there is impairment loss of the available-for-sale equity
instrument. In particular, “severe decline” refers to decline of over 20% in such fair value. “Non-temporary
decline” refers to such fair value decreased continuously for more than 12 months. The continuous
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 income arising from the decrease in fair value was transferred out and included in the profit
or loss for the period. The accumulated loss 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 assets impaired and which is related to any event occurring after such recognition in subsequent
periods, the impairment loss originally recognised shall be reversed. The impairment loss reversal of the
available-for-sale equity instrument will be recognised as other comprehensive income, and the impairment
loss reversal of the available-for-sale debt instrument will be included in the profit or loss 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 the impairment loss of a derivative financial asset linked to the equity instrument that
shall be settled by delivery of that equity instrument, then it will not be reversed.

(4) Recognition and measurement of transfers of financial asset
Financial asset that satisfied any of the following criteria shall be derecognised: the contract right to receive
the cash flows of the financial asset has terminated; the financial asset, along with substantially all the risk and
return arising from the ownership of the financial asset, has been transferred to the transferee; and the financial
asset has been transferred to the transferee, and the transferor has given up the control on such financial asset,
though it does not assign maintain substantially all the risk 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 the financial asset and does not give up the control on such financial asset, to the extent of its continuous
involvement in the financial asset, the entity recognises such financial asset and the relevant liability accordingly.
The extent of the continuous involvement is the extent 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 the financial assets transferred and the sum of the consideration received from the transfer and the
accumulated changes in fair value originally 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 the part that continues to be recognised and the part that qualifies for derecognition, based on the fair
values of the respective parts. The difference between the following amounts is recognised in profit or loss for the
period: the sum of the consideration received and the carrying 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 risk and 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 of the financial asset have been retained, the financial assets
shall not be derecognised. If the Company neither transfers nor retains substantially all the risks and rewards of
ownership of the financial asset, the Company shall assess whether the control over the financial asset is retained,
and the financial assets shall be accounting for according to the above paragraphs.
(5) Classification and measurement of financial liabilities
Financial liabilities are classified at initial recognition: financial liabilities recognised at fair value with changes
carried through profit or loss and other financial liabilities. For financial liabilities measured at fair value with
changes recognised in profit or loss of the current period, relevant transaction costs are directly recognised in
profit or loss for the period. The amount is recognised initially at 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 the effective
interest method, and relevant gain or loss arising from derecognition or amortisation are included in current profit
or loss.

(6) Derecognition of financial liabilities
Financial liabilities are derecognised in full or in part only when the present obligation is discharged in full or
in part. An agreement is entered between the Company (debtor) and a creditor to replace the original financial
liabilities with new financial liabilities with substantially different terms, derecognise the original financial liabilities
as well as recognise the new financial liabilities.
When financial liabilities are derecognised in full or in part, the difference between the carrying amount of the
financial liabilities derecognised and the consideration paid (including transferred non-cash assets or new financial
liability) is recognised in profit or loss for the current period.
(7) Offset of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities
If the Company owns the legitimate rights of offsetting the recognised financial assets and financial liabilities,
which are enforceable currently, and the Company plans to realise the financial assets or to clear off the financial
liabilities on a net amount basis 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 instruments
Equity 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 for movement in equity. The Company does not recognise the movement in fair value of
equity instruments. Transaction costs related to equity transactions are deducted from equity.
Various distributions (excluding dividends) made by the Company to holders of equity instruments reduces
owners’ equity. The Company does not recognise the movement in fair value of equity instruments.
11. Accounts receivable
Accounts receivable include accounts receivable, other receivables, long-term receivables, etc. For the recognition and
measurement of long-term receivables, please refer to Note V. 28.
(1) Basis for recognition and measurement of bad debt provision
The Company carries out an overall inspection on the carrying amount of accounts receivable on the balance
sheet date. Where there arises any of the following objective evidences indicating that accounts receivable have
been impaired, an impairment provision will be made: a serious financial difficulty occurs to the debtor; the
debtor breaches any of the contractual stipulations (such as he fails to pay or delays the payment of interests
or the principal); the debtor will probably go bankrupt or carry out other financial reorganisations; other
objective evidences show that the accounts receivable are impaired.

(2) Method for making bad debt provision
Recognition standard and method for making bad debt provision individually for individually significant
accounts receivable
Accounts receivable of more than RMB1 million is recognised as individually significant accounts receivable
by the Company.
For accounts receivable that is individually significant, the Company assesses such accounts receivable
individually for impairment. If it is determined that no objective evidence of impairment exists for an
individually assessed financial asset, the financial asset is included in a group of financial assets with
similar credit risk characteristics and collectively assessed for impairment. Accounts receivable for which
an impairment loss is individually recognised are not included in a group of accounts receivable with similar
credit risk characteristics and collectively assessed for impairment.
Determination and method for making bad debt provision for accounts receivable provided for bad debt
by credit risk portfolio
A. Basis for determining the credit risk portfolio
The Company classifies its individually insignificant accounts receivable and individually significant but
not impaired accounts receivable in accordance with their credit risk characteristics and relevance of
financial assets. These credit risks usually reflect the ability of debtor in repaying all debts due based
on the contracted terms of relevant assets, and are related to the forecast on future cash flows of
asset under assessment.
Portfolios are determined according to the following basis:
Portfolio Basis for determining the portfolio
Specific fund portfolio A portfolio which is classified as a category on the basis of accounts
receivable related to authority units and related parties
Ageing portfolio A portfolio which is classified as a category on the basis of credit risk
features such as ageing

When an impairment test is performed by means of a group, bad debt provision will be assessed
and ascertained according to the structure of the group of accounts receivable and similar credit risk
characteristics (debtors’ ability to settle outstanding amounts based on contracted terms), taking into
account historical experience of losses, prevailing economic condition and losses that are expected to
incur in the group of accounts receivable.

Accounts receivable individually insignificant but provided for bad debt separately
Accounts receivable which are individually insignificant but have the following features are subject to
impairment tests separately by the Company. If there is objective evidence indicating that the accounts
receivable are impaired, then impairment loss will be recognised and bad debts will be provided according
to the difference when the present value of future cash flow is lower than its carrying amount, such as
accounts receivable with dispute against counterparties or involved in litigation or arbitration; there is
obvious objective of the accounts receivable indicated that the debtor is likely to fail to comply with the
repayment obligation, etc.
(3) Reversal of provision for bad debts
If there are evidences indicating that the value of the account receivable is recovered and that recovery is
connected to the event subsequent to the recognition of the loss, the impairment loss previously recognised will
be reversed and recorded into profit or loss for the period. However, the carrying amount so reversed shall not
exceed the amortised cost of the account receivable on the date of reversal on the assumption that no bad debt
provision has been made.

12. Inventories
Whether the Company needs to comply with the disclosure requirements for specific industries
No
(1) Classification of inventories
Inventories mainly include raw materials, work in progress, goods in stock, developing products and consumable
biological assets etc.
(2) Pricing of inventories received and dispatched
Inventories are measured at their actual cost when obtained. Cost of an inventory consists of purchase costs,
processing costs and 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 of developing 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 the development. 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. Consumable
biological assets without a stock are stated at cost at initial recognition, and subsequently measured at fair value
when there is a stock. Changes in fair values shall be recognised as profit or loss in the current period. The cost of
self-planting, self-cultivating consumable biological assets is the necessary expenses directly attributable to such
assets prior to canopy closure, including borrowing costs eligible for capitalisation. Subsequent expenses such as
maintenance cost incurred after canopy closure shall be included in profit or loss for the current period.
The cost of consumable biological assets shall, at the time of harvest or disposal, be carried forward at carrying
amount using the batch averaging method.
(3) Recognition of net realisable value of inventory and provision for inventory impairment
Net 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 basis of 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 for inventory impairment is made when the net realisable value is lower than the cost. Provisions for
impairment of inventory shall be made according to the amount by which the cost of a single item exceeds its net
realisable value. For large quantity and low value items of inventories, provision may be made based on categories
of inventories. For items of inventories relating to a product line that is produced and marketed in the same
geographical area and with the same or similar end uses or purposes, which cannot be practicable evaluated
separately from other items in that product line, provision for decline in value of inventories may be determined on
an aggregate basis.
After making the provision for inventory impairment, in case the factors causing inventory impairment no longer
exists, and the net realisable value of an inventory is higher than its book-value, the original provision for inventory
impairment shall be transferred back 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. Classified as assets held-for-sale
When a non-current asset can be sold immediately under the circumstances by the common practice, and the Company
has passed a resolution to dispose of a non-current asset, and has signed an irrevocable contract with the transferee,
and the transfer will be completed within a year, the non-current asset shall be accounted for as an asset held-for-sale,
which will not be depreciated or amortised starting from the date of re-classification, and is stated at the lower of its
carrying amount or its fair value less costs to dispose of. Non-current assets held-for-sale include an individual asset
and disposal group. If a disposal group is a group of assets, and the goodwill arising from business combinations is
allocated to the group of assets in accordance with “Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises No. 8 – Impairment
of Assets”, or the disposal group is an operation operating in such asset group, then the disposal group includes the
goodwill arising from business combinations.
A single non-current asset classified as an asset held-for-sale or assets grouped in a disposal group should be listed
separately in the balance sheet under current assets. Liabilities grouped in a disposal group and relating to transferring
assets should be listed separately in the balance sheet under current liabilities.
When an asset or a disposal group previously recognised under assets held-for-sale no longer satisfy the conditions
to be regarded as assets held-for-sale, the Company ceases to account for the asset as assets held-for-sale, and the
asset is measured at the lower of: (1) the carrying amount of the asset or the disposal group prior to be classified as
assets held-for-sale, adjusted for depreciation, amortisation or impairment as if it was not classified as assets held-for-
sale; or (2) the recoverable amount of the asset or the disposal group on the date when the decision of not disposing of
the asset or the disposal group is made.
14. Long-term equity investments
Long-term equity investments under this section refer to long-term equity investments in which the Company has
control, joint control or significant influence over the investee. Long-term equity investment without control or joint
control or significant influence of the Company is accounted for as available-for-sale financial assets or financial assets
measured at fair value with any change in fair value charged to profit or loss. Details on its accounting policy please refer
to Note V. 10. “Financial instruments”.
Joint control is the Company’s contractually agreed sharing of control over an arrangement, which relevant activities
of such arrangement must be decided by unanimously agreement from parties who share control. Significant influence
is the power of the Company to participate in the financial and operating policy decisions of an investee, but to fail to
control or joint control the formulation of such policies together with other parties.

14. Long-term equity investments (Cont’d)
(1) Determination of investment cost
For a long-term equity investment acquired through a business combination involving enterprises under common
control, the initial investment cost of the long-term equity investment shall be the absorbing party’s share of the
carrying amount of the owner’s equity under the consolidated financial statements of the ultimate controlling party
on the date of combination. The difference between the initial cost of the long-term equity investment and the
cash paid, non-cash assets transferred as well as the carrying amount 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 initial investment cost of
the long-term equity investment shall be the absorbing party’s share of the carrying amount of the owner’s equity
under the consolidated financial statements of the ultimate controlling party on the date of combination. With the
total face value of the shares issued as share capital, the difference between the initial cost of the long-term equity
investment and total face value of the shares issued shall be used to offset against the capital reserve. If the
capital reserve is insufficient to offset, the retained earnings shall be adjusted. For business combination resulted
in an enterprise under common control by acquiring equity of the absorbing party under common control 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 in obtaining control. If they do not belong to “transactions in a basket”, the initial investment cost of
the long-term equity investment shall be the absorbing party’s share of the carrying amount of the owner’s equity
under the consolidated financial statements of the ultimate controlling party on the date of combination. The
difference between the initial cost of the long-term equity investment and the aggregate of the carrying amount
of the long-term equity investment before merging and the carrying amount the additional consideration paid for
further share acquisition on the date of combination shall offset against the capital reserve. If the capital reserve
is insufficient to offset, the retained earnings shall be adjusted. Other comprehensive income recognised as a
result of the previously held equity investment accounted for using equity method on the date of combination or
recognised for available-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 of combination 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 common control 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 in
obtaining control. If they do not belong to “transactions in a basket”, the initial investment cost of the long-
term equity investment accounted for using cost method shall be the aggregate of the carrying amount of
equity investment previously held by the acquiree and the additional investment cost. For previously held
equity accounted for using equity method, relevant other comprehensive income will not be accounted for. For
previously held equity investment classified as available-for-sale financial asset, the difference between its fair
value and carrying amount, as well as the accumulated movement in fair value previously included in the other
comprehensive income shall be transferred to profit or loss for the current period.

(1) Determination of investment cost (Cont’d)
Agent fees incurred by the absorbing party or acquirer for the acquisition such as audit, legal service, and
valuation and consultation fees, and other related administration expenses are charged to profit or loss in the
current period at the time such expenses incurred.
The long-term equity investment acquired through means other than a business combination shall be initially
measured at its cost. Such cost is depended upon the acquired means of long-term equity investments, which is
recognised based on the purchase cost actually paid by the Company, the fair value of equity securities issued
by the Company, the agreed value of investment contract or agreement, the fair value or original carrying amount
of the non-monetary asset exchange transaction which the asset will be transferred out of the Company, and the
fair value of long-term equity investment itself. The costs, taxes and other necessary expenses 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 in control, the relevant cost for long-term equity investment shall be the aggregate of fair value of
previously held equity investment and additional investment cost determined according to “Accounting Standard
for Business Enterprises No. 22 – Recognition and measurement of Financial Instruments”.
(2) Subsequent measurement and method for profit or loss recognition
Long-term equity investments with joint control (excluding those constitute joint ventures) or significant influence
on the investee are accounted for using equity method. In addition, long-term equity investments with control on
the investee are accounted for using cost method and record in the Company’s financial statements.
Long-term equity investments accounted for using the cost method
Under the cost method, a long-term equity investment is measured at its initial investment cost. The cost for
long-term equity investment is adjusted in the event of additional investment or investment recovery. Except
receiving the actual consideration paid for the investment or the declared but not yet distributed cash
dividends or profits which is included in the consideration, investment gains for the period is recognised as
the cash dividends or profits declared by the investee.
Long-term equity investments accounted for using the equity method
Under the equity method, where the initial investment cost of a long-term equity investment exceeds
the investor’s interest in the 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 the acquisition date, the
difference shall be charged to profit or loss for the current period, and the cost of the long-term equity
investment shall be adjusted accordingly.

(1) Determination of investment cost (Cont’d)
Long-term equity investments accounted for using the equity method (Cont’d)
Under the equity method, investment gain and other comprehensive income shall be recognised based
on the Company’s share of the net profits or losses and other comprehensive income made by the
investee, respectively. Meanwhile, the carrying amount of long-term equity investment shall be adjusted.
The carrying amount of long-term equity investment shall be reduced based on the Company’s share of
profit or cash dividend distributed by the investee. In respect of the other movement of net profit or loss,
other comprehensive income and profit distribution of investee, the carrying amount of long-term equity
investment shall be adjusted and included in the capital reserves. The Company shall recognise its share of
the investee’s net profits or losses based on the fair values of the investee’s individual separately identifiable
assets at the time of acquisition, after making appropriate adjustments thereto. In the event of inconformity
between the accounting policies and accounting periods of the investee and the Company, the financial
statements 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 the Company and its associates and joint ventures in which the
assets disposed of or sold are not classified as operation, the share of unrealised gain or loss arising from
internal transactions shall be eliminated by the portion attributable to the Company. Investment gain shall
be recognised accordingly. However, any unrealised loss arising from internal transactions between the
Company and an investee is not eliminated to the extent that the loss is impairment loss of the transferred
assets. In the event that the Company disposed of an asset classified as operation to its joint ventures or
associates, which resulted in acquisition of long-term equity investment by the investor without obtaining
control, the initial investment cost of additional long-term equity investment shall be the fair value of
disposed operation. The difference between initial investment cost and the carrying amount of disposed
operation will be fully included in profit or loss for the current period. In the event that the Company sold an
asset classified as operation to its associates or joint ventures, the difference between the carrying amount
of consideration received and operation shall be fully included in profit or loss for the current period. In the
event that the Company acquired an asset which formed an operation from its associates or joint ventures,
relevant transaction shall be accounted for in accordance with “Accounting Standards for Business
Enterprises 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-term equity investment together with any long-term interests that in substance form
part of the investor’s net investment in the investee are reduced to zero. If the Company has to assume
additional obligations, the estimated obligation assumed shall be provided for and charged to the profit
or loss as investment loss for the period. Where the investee is making profits in subsequent periods, the
Company 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 first adoption of the Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises by the Company on 1 January
2007, the amounts amortised over the original residual term using the straight-line method is included in the
profit or loss for the period.
Acquisition of minority interest
Upon the preparation of the consolidated financial statements, capital reserve is adjusted based on the
difference between the additional long term equity investment from acquisition of minority interest and the
share of net assets of the subsidiary attributable to the additional shareholding from the date of acquisition (or
date of combination). In the case of insufficient capital surplus to offset impairment, retained earnings shall
be adjusted.

disposal of relevant asset or liability by investee, and transferred to profit or loss for the current period on
pro rata basis. Movement of other owners’ equity (excluding net profit or loss, other comprehensive income
and profit distribution under net asset of investee accounted for and recognised using equity method) shall
be transferred to profit or loss for the current period 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 separate financial statements, the remaining equity interest which can apply common control
or impose significant influence over the investee after disposal shall be accounted for using equity method.
Such remaining equity interest shall be treated as accounting for using equity method since it is obtained
and adjustment was made accordingly. For the remaining equity interest which cannot apply common
control or impose significant influence over the investee after disposal, it shall be accounted for using
the recognition and measurement standard of financial instruments. The difference between its fair value
and carrying amount as at the date of losing control shall be included in profit or loss for the current
period. In respect of other comprehensive income recognised using equity method 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 investee at the time when the control over investee is lost. Movement of other owners’
equity (excluding net profit or loss, other comprehensive income and profit distribution under net asset of
investee accounted for and recognised using equity method) shall be transferred to profit or loss for the
current period at the time when the control over investee is lost. Of which, for the remaining equity interest
after disposal accounted for using equity method, other comprehensive income and other owners’ equity
shall be transferred on pro rata basis. For the remaining equity interest after disposal accounted for using
the recognition and measurement standard of financial instruments, other comprehensive income and other
owners’ equity shall be fully transferred.

(1) Determination of investment cost (Cont’d)
Disposal of long-term equity investments (Cont’d)
In the event of loss of common control or significant influence over investee due to partial disposal of equity
investment by the Company, the remaining equity interest after disposal shall be accounted for using the
recognition and measurement standard of financial instruments. The difference between its fair value and
carrying amount as at the date of losing common control or significant influence shall be included in profit
or loss for the current period. In respect of other comprehensive income recognised under previous equity
investment using equity method, it shall be accounted for in accordance with the same accounting treatment
for direct disposal of relevant asset or liability by investee at the time when equity method was ceased to
be used. Movement of other owners’ equity (excluding net profit or loss, other comprehensive income and
profit distribution under net asset of investee accounted for and recognised using equity method) shall be
transferred to profit or loss for the current period at the time when equity method was ceased to be used.
The Company disposes its equity investment in subsidiary by a stage-up approach with several transactions
until the control over the subsidiary is lost. If the said transactions belong to “transactions in a basket”, each
transaction shall be accounted for as a single transaction of disposing equity investment of subsidiary and
loss of control. The difference between the disposal consideration for each transaction and the carrying
amount of the corresponding long-term equity investment of disposed equity interest before loss of control
shall initially recognised as other comprehensive income, and subsequently transferred to profit or loss
arising from loss of control for the current period upon loss of control.
15. Investment Property
Measurement of investment property
Measured by using the cost method
Depreciation or amortisation methods
Investment 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 in cost of investment property only when the economic benefits associated with the asset will likely flow to the
Company and its cost can be measured reliably. All other expenditures on investment property shall be included in profit
or loss for the current period when incurred.
The Company adopts cost method for subsequent measurement of investment property, which is depreciated using the
same policy 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
the conversion, 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 or intangible 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 its conversion. Investment property is measured at cost during its conversion.
Upon the conversion, the property shall be stated at the carrying 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 from the 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 is recognised 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 for administrative purposes; and have a useful life of more than one accounting year. Fixed assets
are recognised only if the Company is very likely to receive economic benefits from the asset and its cost can
be measured reliably. A fixed asset shall be initially measured at cost and the effect of any expected costs of
abandoning the asset at the end of its use.
(2) Depreciation method
Useful lives Estimated Annual
Depreciation of depreciation residual depreciation
Category method (Year) value (%) rate (%)
Housing and building structure Straight-line method 20-40 5-10 2.25-4.75
Machinery and equipment Straight-line method 8-20 5-10 4.50-11.88
Transportation equipment Straight-line method 5-8 5-10 11.25-19.00
Electronic equipment Straight-line method 5 5-10 18.00-19.00
and others
Estimated net residual value of a fixed asset is the estimated amount that the Company would currently obtain
from disposal of the asset, after deducting the estimated costs of disposal, if the asset were already of the stage
and in the condition expected at the end of its useful life.
(3) Methods of impairment test and provision of fixed assets
The method for impaired test of fixed assets and measurement of impairment provision are detailed in Note V. 20
“Impairment of long-term assets”.
(4) 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 asset ownership to the lessee and titles to the assets may or may not eventually be transferred. For
fixed assets acquired under finance leases, the basis for provision of leased assets depreciation is the same as
that of self-owned fixed assets. When it can be reasonably determined that the ownership of a leased asset will
be transferred at the end of the lease term, it is depreciated over the period of expected use; otherwise, the lease
asset is depreciated over the shorter period of the lease term and the period of expected use.
(5) Explanation on other matters
Subsequent expenditures incurred for a fixed asset shall be included in the cost of the fixed asset, only if it is
probable that economic benefits associated with the asset will flow to Chenming Paper and the relevant cost
can be measured reliably; meanwhile the carrying amount of the replaced part shall be derecognised. Other
subsequent expenditures shall be charged to profit or loss when incurred.
Fixed assets are derecognised when there is no economic benefit arising from disposal or expected use or
disposal of fixed assets. When a fixed asset is sold, transferred, retired or damaged, the Company shall recognise
the amount of any proceeds on disposal of the asset net of the carrying amount and related taxes in profit or loss
for the current period.
The Company reviews the useful life and estimated net residual value of a fixed asset and the depreciation method
applied at least at each financial year-end. A change in the useful life or estimated net residual value of a fixed
asset or the depreciation method used shall be accounted for as a change in accounting estimate.

17. Construction in progress
Construction in progress is recognised based on the actual construction cost, including all expenditures incurred for
construction projects, 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 has reached 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 V.
20 “Impairment of long-term asset”.
18. Borrowing costs
Borrowing costs include interest, amortisation of discounts or premiums related to borrowings, ancillary costs incurred in
connection with the arrangement of borrowings, and exchange differences arising from foreign currency borrowings. For
borrowing costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset, when
expenditures for the asset and borrowing costs are being incurred, activities relating to the acquisition, construction
or production of the asset that are necessary to prepare the asset for its intended use or sale have commenced, such
borrowing costs shall be capitalised as part of the cost of that asset; and capitalisation shall discontinue when the
qualifying asset is ready for its intended use or sale. Other borrowing costs shall be 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
expense incurred on that borrowing for the period less any bank interest earned from depositing the borrowed funds
before being used into banks or any investment income on the temporary investment of those funds. Where funds are
borrowed for general purpose, the Company 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-purpose borrowings. 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 be capitalised. Exchange differences related to general-purpose borrowings denominated in foreign currency shall
be included in profit or loss for the current period.
Qualifying assets are assets (fixed assets, investment property, inventories, etc.) that necessarily take a substantial
period of time for 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 a qualifying asset is interrupted abnormally, when the interruption is for a continuous period of more than 3 months,
until the acquisition, construction or production of the qualifying asset is resumed.

19. Intangible assets
(1) Intangible assets
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 as cost of the intangible asset only if it is probable that economic benefits associated with the asset
will flow to the Company and the cost 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 land use right and the buildings shall be separately accounted for as an intangible asset and fixed
asset. For buildings and structures purchased, the purchase consideration shall be allocated among the land
use right and the buildings on a reasonable basis. In case there 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
accumulated impairment 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 least at each financial year-end. A change in the useful life or amortisation method used shall be
accounted for as a change in accounting estimate. For an intangible asset with an indefinite useful life, the
Company shall review the useful life of the asset in each accounting period. If there is evidence indicating that the
useful life of that intangible asset is finite, the Company shall estimate the useful life of that asset and apply the
accounting policies accordingly.
(2) Research and development expenditure
Research and development expenditure of the Company was divided into expenses incurred during the research
phase and expenses 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, while those that do not satisfy the following conditions are accounted for in the profit or loss for the current
period:
it is technically feasible that the intangible asset can be used or sold upon completion;
there is intention to complete the intangible asset for use or sale;
the intangible asset can produce economic benefits, including there is evidence that the products produced
using the intangible asset has a market or the intangible asset itself has a market; and if the intangible asset
is for internal use, there is evidence that there exists usage for the intangible asset;
there is sufficient support in terms of technology, financial resources and other resources in order to
complete the development of the intangible asset, and there is capability to use or sell the intangible asset;
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, all development expenses incurred are accounted for in the profit or loss for the current period.
(3) Methods of impairment test and provision of intangible assets
The method for impaired test of intangible assets and measurement of impairment provision are detailed in Note V.
20 “Impairment of long-term assets”.

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 noncurrent
non-financial assets such as fixed assets, construction in progress, intangible assets with a finite useful life, investment
properties measured at cost, and long-term equity investments in subsidiaries, joint controlled entities and associates.
If there is any evidence indicating that an asset may be impaired, recoverable amount shall be estimated for impairment
test. Goodwill, intangible assets with an indefinite useful life and intangible assets beyond working conditions will be
tested for impairment annually, regardless of whether 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
impairment provision will be made according to the difference and recognised as an impairment loss. The recoverable
amount of an asset is the higher of its fair value less costs of disposal and the present value of the future cash
flows expected to be derived from the asset. An asset’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 an asset, 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 intended sale.
The present value of the future cash flows expected to be derived from the asset over the course of continued use and
final disposal is determined as the amount discounted using an appropriately selected discount rate. Provisions for
assets impairment shall be made and recognised for the individual asset. If it is not possible to estimate the recoverable
amount of the individual asset, the Company shall determine the recoverable amount of the asset group to which the
asset belongs. The asset group is the smallest group of 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 be allocated to the asset groups or group of assets benefiting from synergy of business combination. If the
recoverable amount is less than the carrying amount, the Company shall recognise an impairment loss. The amount
of impairment loss shall first reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the asset group or set of asset
groups, and then reduce the carrying amount of other assets (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
restorable value.
21. Long-term prepaid expenses
Long-term prepaid expenses are expenditures and other expenses which have incurred but that shall be amortised over
the current period and subsequent periods of more than one year. Long-term prepaid expenses of the Company mainly
include expenses on improvement of fixed assets and woodland rent. Long-term prepaid expenses are amortised over
the estimated benefit period using the straight-line method.

22. Employee benefits
Staff remuneration of the Company mainly includes short-term staff remuneration, post-employment benefits and
termination benefits, in which:
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 employee education costs and non-monetary welfare etc. Short-term remuneration incurred during
the accounting period in which the Company’s staff provided services for the Company is recognised as liability, and
included in profit or loss for the current period or related asset costs. Of which, non-monetary welfare is measured at fair
value.
Post-employment benefits mainly include pension insurance premium and unemployment insurance premium. Post-
employment benefits mainly adopt defined contribution plan. Relevant contribution amount is included in related asset
costs or profit or loss for the current period during the period in which the expenses incurred.
When the Company terminates the employment relationship with employees before the end of the employment
contracts or provides compensation as an offer to encourage employees to accept voluntary redundancy, the Company
shall recognise employee compensation liabilities arising from compensation for staff dismissal and included in profit
or loss for the current period, when the Company cannot revoke unilaterally compensation for dismissal due to the
cancellation of labour relationship plans and employee redundant proposals; and the Company recognise cost and
expenses related to payment of compensation for dismissal and restructuring, whichever is earlier. However, if the
compensation for termination of employment is not expected to be fully paid within 12 months from the reporting period,
it shall be accounted for other long-term staff remuneration.
The early retirement plan shall be accounted for in accordance with the accounting principles for compensation for
termination of employment. The salaries or wages and the social contributions to be paid for the employees who retire
before schedule from the date on which the employees stop rendering services to the scheduled retirement date, shall
be recognised (as compensation for termination of employment) in the current profit or loss by the Company if the
recognition principles for provisions are satisfied.
The Company does not provide any other long-term employee benefit for its staff.
23. Accrued liabilities
Obligations pertinent to the contingencies which satisfy the following conditions are recognised as accrued liabilities: (1)
The obligation is a current obligation borne by the Company; (2) it is likely that an outflow of economic benefits will be
resulted from the performance of the obligation; and (3) the amount of the obligation can be reliably measured.
At the balance sheet date, accrued liabilities shall be measured at the best estimate of the necessary expenses required
for the performance 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 accrued liabilities are expected to be borne by the third party, the
compensation amount shall, on a recoverable basis, be recognised as asset separately, and compensation amount
recognised shall not be more than the carrying amount of accrued liabilities.

24. Preference shares, perpetual bonds and other financial instruments
(1) Classification of perpetual bonds and preference shares
Perpetual bonds, preference shares and other financial instruments issued by the Company are classified as
equity instruments when all of the following conditions are satisfied:
The financial instruments have no contractual obligation to pay in cash or other financial assets to other
parties nor to exchange financial assets or financial liabilities under potential adverse condition with other
parties;
If the financial instrument will or may be settled in the entity’s own equity instruments, it is a non-
derivative instrument that includes no contractual obligations to deliver a variable number of its own equity
instruments; or a derivative that will be settled only by the Company exchanging a fixed amount of cash or
other financial asset for a fixed number of its own equity instruments.
Other than financial instruments classified as equity instruments according to the above conditions, other financial
instruments issued 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 based on the fair value of the liability component, and the amount net of the fair value of the liability
component from the actual amount received is recognised as “other equity instruments”. Transaction costs that
relate to the issue of a compound financial instrument are allocated to the liability and equity components in
proportion to the allocation of gross proceeds.
(2) Accounting treatment of perpetual bonds and preference shares
For financial instruments classified as financial liabilities (such as perpetual bonds and preference shares), except
borrowing costs 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 (including refinancing), repurchase, sale or cancellation are treated by the Company as changes in equity,
with related transaction costs deducted from equity. The Company’s distribution to holders of equity instruments
are treated as a distribution of profits.
Changes in the fair value of equity instruments are not recognised by the Company.

25. Revenue
Whether the Company needs to comply with the disclosure requirements for specific industries
No
(1) Revenue from sales of goods
Revenue is recognised when the Company has transferred to the buyer the significant risks and rewards of
ownership of the goods, retains neither continuing managerial involvement to the degree usually associated
with ownership nor effective control over the goods sold, will receive the economic benefits associated with the
transaction, and can reliably measure the relevant amount of revenue and costs. Confirmation time for sales
revenue: In terms of domestic sales, confirmation will be made on the day when goods are delivered to the clients.
While in terms of overseas sales, confirmation will be made on the day when goods are loaded on board and
declared.
(2) Revenue from the rendering of services
When the outcome of a transaction involving the rendering of services can be reliably estimated, it shall, on the
balance sheet date, recognise the revenue from the rendering of services employing the percentage of completion
method. The completion schedule of transaction concerning the rendering of services shall be ascertained
according to the proportion of service costs incurred to the estimated total costs.
The outcome of a transaction concerning the rendering of services can be reliably estimated, which shall
concurrently satisfy: The relevant amount of revenue can be reliably measured; it is probable that the
economic benefits will flow into the Company; the completion schedule of the transaction can be reliably
ascertained; and transaction costs incurred and to be incurred can be reliably measured.
When the outcome of a transaction involving the rendering of services cannot be reliably estimated, it shall
recognise the revenue from the rendering of services based on the cost of rendering services already incurred and
expected to be compensated, and the cost of rendering services incurred shall be recognised as an expense for
the current period. If the cost of rendering services is expected not to be compensated, it shall be recognised as
an expense.
When a contract or agreement signed by the Company includes sales of goods and rendering of services, if
sales of goods and rendering of services can be differentiated and separately measured, they will be recognised
respectively. If sales of goods and rendering of services cannot be differentiated or cannot be separately
measured, they will be recognised as sales of goods in full.
(3) Revenue from rendering of services
Revenue from rendering of services is recognised as income on the accrual basis in accordance with the
underlying contracts or agreements.
(4) Interest income
Interest income is calculated based on the time during which the Company’s monetary fund, and the effective
interest rates.

26. Government grants
Government grants are transfer of monetary assets or non-monetary assets from the government to the Company at no
consideration, excluding capital considerations from the government as an owner of the Company. Government grants
are classified into government grants related to assets and government grants related to income. Government grants
obtained for acquisition or construction of long-term assets or other forms of long-term asset formation are classified
as related to assets. Other government grants are classified as related to revenue. If related government documents
do not specify the objective of the grants, the grants are classified as related to assets or income as follows: (1) In
case a project for which the grants are granted is specified in such documents, the grants are classified as related to
assets and income based on the budgeted ratio of the expenditure on asset formation and the expenditure recorded as
expenses, where such ratio should be reviewed and, if necessary, changed on each balance sheet date; and (2) in case
of general description without specifying any project in such documents, the grants are classified as related to income.
If a government grant is in the form of a transfer of monetary asset, the item shall be measured at the amount received
or receivable. If a government grant is in the form of a transfer of non-monetary asset, the item shall be measured at
fair value. If fair value is not reliably determinable, the item shall be measured at a nominal amount and recognised
immediately in profit or loss for the current period. Government grants are generally recognised when received
and measured at the amount actually received, but are measured at the amount likely to be received when there is
conclusive evidence at the end of the accounting period that the Company will meet related requirements of such grants
and will be able to receive the grants. The government grants so measured should also satisfy the following conditions:
(1) the amount of the grants be confirmed with competent authorities in written form or reasonably deduced from related
requirements under financial fund management measures officially released without material uncertainties; (2) the grants
be given based on financial support projects and fund management policies officially published and voluntarily disclosed
by local financial authorities in accordance with the requirements under disclosure of government information, where
such policies should be open to any company satisfying conditions required and not specifically for certain companies;
and (3) the date of payment be specified in related documents and the payment thereof be covered by corresponding
budget to ensure such grants will be paid on time as specified.
A government grant related to an asset shall be recognised as deferred income, and evenly amortised to profit or loss
over the useful life of the asset. For a government grant related to income, if the grant is a compensation for related
expenses or losses to be incurred in subsequent periods, the grant shall be recognised as deferred income, and
recognised in profit or loss over the periods in which the related costs are recognised; if the grant is a compensation for
related expenses or losses already incurred, the grant shall be recognised immediately in profit or loss for the current
period.
For the repayment of a government grant already recognised, if there is any related deferred income, the repayment
shall be off set against the carrying amount of the deferred income, and any excess shall be recognised in profit or loss
for the current period; if there is no related deferred income, the repayment shall be recognised immediately in profit or
loss for the current period.
27. Deferred income tax assets/deferred income tax liabilities
(1) Current income tax
At the balance sheet date, current income tax liabilities (or assets) for the current and prior periods shall be
measured at the amount expected to be paid (or recovered) according to the requirements of tax laws. Taxable
profits, which are the basis for calculating the current income tax expense, are determined after adjusting the
accounting profits before tax for the year in accordance with relevant requirements of tax laws.

27. Deferred income tax assets/deferred income tax liabilities (Cont’d)
(2) Deferred income tax assets and deferred income tax liabilities
Temporary differences arising from the difference between the carrying amount of an asset or liability and its tax
base, and the difference between the tax base and the carrying amount of those items that are not recognised
as assets or liabilities but have a tax base that can be determined according to tax laws, shall be recognised as
deferred income tax assets and deferred income tax liabilities 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 profit or taxable profit (or deductible loss) at the time of the transaction.
In addition, the Company recognises the corresponding deferred income tax liability for taxable temporary
differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures, except when both of the
following conditions are satisfied: the Company is able to control the timing of the reversal of the temporary
difference; and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future.
Deferred income tax assets are not recognised for deductible temporary differences related to the initial
recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction which is neither a business combination nor affects accounting
profit or taxable profit (or deductible loss) at the time of the transaction. In addition, the Company recognises
the corresponding deferred income tax asset for deductible temporary differences associated with investments
in subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available
against which the deductible temporary differences can be utilised, except when both of the following conditions
are satisfied: it is not probable that the temporary difference will reverse in the foreseeable future; and it is not
probable that taxable profits will be available in the future, against which the temporary difference can be utilised.
Chenming Paper recognises a deferred income tax asset for the carry forward of deductible losses and tax credits
to subsequent periods, to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which
the deductible losses and tax credits can be utilised.
At the balance sheet date, deferred income tax assets and deferred income tax liabilities are measured at the tax
rates that are expected 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 that sufficient taxable profits will not be available in future periods to allow the benefit of the deferred
income tax asset to be utilised, the carrying amount of the deferred income tax asset shall be reduced. Any such
reduction in amount shall be reversed when it becomes probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available.
(3) Income tax expense
Income tax expense comprises current income tax expense and deferred income tax expense.
Current income tax expense (current income tax income) and deferred income tax expense (deferred income tax
income) are included in profit or loss for the current period, except for: recognised as other comprehensive income
or current income tax and deferred income tax related to transactions or events that are directly recognised in
other comprehensive income or owners’ equity, which are recognised directly in owners’ equity, and deferred
income tax arising from a business combination, which is adjusted against the carrying amount of goodwill.

(4) Offset of income tax
After granted the legal rights of net settlement and with the intention to use net settlement or obtain assets, repay
debt, the Company, at the same time, records the net amount after offsetting its current income tax assets and
current income tax liabilities.
The Company was granted the legal rights of net settlement of current income tax assets and current income
tax liabilities. Deferred income tax assets and deferred income tax liabilities are related to income tax to be paid
by the same entity liable to pay tax to the same tax collection and management authority or related to different
entities liable to pay tax, but the relevant entity liable to pay tax is intended to apply net settlement of current
income tax assets and liabilities or, at the same time, obtain assets, repay debt whenever every deferred income

after offsetting its current income tax assets and current income tax liabilities.
28. Lease
Leases are classified as finance leases whenever the terms of the lease transfer substantially all the risks and rewards
of asset ownership to the lessee and titles to the assets may or may not eventually be transferred. All other leases are
classified as operating leases.
(1) Operating lease business with the Company recorded as lessee
Lease payment for operating lease is recognised as related asset cost or profits and losses for the current period
using the straight-line method over the lease term. The initial direct cost is directly accounted in profit or loss for
the current period. Contingent rent is recognised as profit or loss for the current period upon occurrence.
(2) Operating lease business with the Company recorded as lessor
Rental income is recognised in profit or loss for the current period using the straight-line method over the lease
term. The initial direct cost where the amount is larger is capitalised when incurred, and accounted for as profit or
loss for the current period on the same basis as recognition of rental income over the entire lease period; the initial
direct cost where the amount is fewer is included in the profit or loss for the period when incurred. Contingent
rental is accounted for as profit or loss for the period in which it is incurred.
(3) Financing lease business with the Company recorded as lessee
On 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 and the present value of minimum lease payment at the beginning date of the lease. Minimum lease
payment shall be the entry value of long-term accounts payable, with difference recognised as unrecognised
financing expenses. In addition, initial direct costs attributable to leased items incurred during the process of
lease negotiation and signing of lease agreement shall be included in the value of leased assets. The balance
of minimum lease payment after deducting unrecognised financing expenses shall be accounted for 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
interest method during the leasing period. Contingent rent shall be included in profit or loss for the current period
at the time it incurred.

their present values shall be recognised as unrealised financing income. The balance of lease receivable after
deducting unrecognised financing income shall be accounted for long-term debt and long-term debt due within
one year.
Unrecognised financing income shall be recognised as financing income for the current period using effective
interest method during the leasing period. Contingent rent shall be included in profit or loss for the current period
at the time it incurred.
(5) The debts arising from the financing lease business shall be provided for impairment at 5% to 10%.

33. Critical accounting judgments and estimates
The Company needs to make judgments, estimates and assumptions as to the carrying amount of statement items
which cannot be accurately calculated during the application of the Company’s accounting policies. Such judgments,
estimates and assumptions are made based on the historical experiences of the Company’s management and taking
into account other relevant factors, which may affect 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. A revision to accounting estimates is recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if it only affects
that period. A revision is recognised 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 items amount of financial statements are set out below:
(1) Classification of leases
The Company classifies its leases as operating lease and financing lease in accordance with “Accounting
Standard for Business Enterprises No. 21 – Leases”. When classifying leases, the management needs to analyse
and judge whether all risks and returns relating to the ownership of leased out assets have transferred to the
leasee, or whether the Company has obliged to all risks and returns relating to the ownership of leased assets.
(2) Provision for bad debts
The 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 judgment and estimate required for impairment of accounts receivable, the
difference between the actual outcome and original estimate will affect the carrying amount of accounts receivable
and provision and reversal of bad debts of accounts receivable during the estimate revision period.
(3) Allowance for inventories
Under the accounting policies of inventories and by measuring at the lower of cost and net realisable value, the
Company makes allowance 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. Given the management’s judgments and estimates required
for inventory impairment on the basis of definite evidence, purpose of holding the inventories and other factors,
the difference between the actual outcome and original estimate will affect the carrying amount of inventories and
provision and reversal of bad debts of inventories allowance during the estimate revision period.

(4) Fair value of consumable biological assets
A consumable biological asset is measured at fair value when there is a stock. A stock is judged to be formed
when the consumable 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 using income approach.
(5) Impairment of available-for-sale financial assets
In respect of impairment of available-for-sale financial assets, whether impairment loss shall be recognised in
income statement significantly depends on the judgments and assumptions of the management. While making
judgments and assumptions, the Company shall assess the excess of cost of the investee’s identifiable net assets
attributable to the investment over fair value and the duration.
(6) Provision for impairment of non-financial non-current assets
At the balance sheet date, the Company makes its judgment as to whether there is any evidence indicating
potential impairment of non-current assets other than financial assets. Intangible assets with indefinite useful life
shall be tested for impairment when there is any indication of impairment in addition to the annual impairment
testing. Other non-current assets other than financial assets shall be 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 value less costs of disposal and the present value of the future cash flows expected to be derived from the
asset, it indicates impairment.
The net amount of the fair value less costs of disposal is determined by making reference to the price in a sale
agreement in an arm’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 relevant operating costs of such assets (or asset groups) and the discount rate applied in calculating
the discount. In estimating the recoverable amount, the Company may adopt all relevant materials including
the projections as to the output, selling price and relevant operating costs 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 present value of the future cash flows of the asset groups or sets of asset groups to which goodwill is
allocated. In estimating the present value of the future cash flows, the Company needs to estimate the cash flows
generated from the future asset groups or sets of asset groups. Meanwhile, the present value of future cash flows
is determined using an appropriately selected discount rate.

(7) Depreciation and amortisation
The Company shall provide depreciation and amortisation for investment properties, fixed assets and intangible
assets over their useful lives and after taking into account of their residual value, using straight-line method.
The Company shall regularly review the useful lives to determine the amount depreciated and amortised to be
accounted for in each reporting period. The useful life is determined by the Company according to its previous
experience on the similar assets and estimated technical innovation. If there is any material change in the
previously made estimate, the depreciation and amortisation will be adjusted over the future period.
(8) Deferred income tax assets
It is probable that all unused tax loss will be recognised as the deferred income tax assets to the extent there
will be sufficient taxable profits against which the deducible loss is available. This requires the Company’s
management to apply numerous judgments to estimate the time and amount generated from the future taxable
profits so as to determine the amount of deferred income tax assets with reference to the tax planning strategy.
(9) Income tax
There are some uncertainties in tax treatment and calculation for some transactions of the Company during its
ordinary course of business. The approval from the tax authority is required for pre-tax expending of some items.
Any difference between the final recognition outcome of such tax matters and the initially estimated amount will
exert an effect on the current income tax and deferred income tax during their final recognition period.
