The paper making industry is one of the basic industries of the national economy. It has the typical characteristics of

large-scale industrial production such as continuous and efficient operation and significant economies of scale. The

paper making industry is also vitally interrelated with social and economic development as well as people’s daily life.Not only is the paper making industry the provider of basic goods and materials but it also makes a lot of important

materials related to packaging construction chemical industry electronics energy transportation national security

and other fields. The paper making industry plays an irreplaceable role in the national economy. Due to the supply-

side reform the supply and demand of the paper making industry have been growing at a steady pace in recent years

creating a relatively stable production and sale environment. The increase in the societal demands the implementation

of more environmental protection policies the continuous advances in technology and the changes in the supply of

resources have resulted in an accelerating reduction of the production capacity of low-end products the increasing

concentration ratio of the industry and an improving industrial pattern. According to the 2020 Annual Report of China’s

Paper Industry in 2020 there were approximately 2500 companies engaged in the production and paper and paper

board in China down by 7.41% as compared to last year while the nationwide paper and paper board production

volume was 112600000 tonnes up by 4.60% as compared to last year. Currently China’s economy has transformed

from rapid growth to high quality development and green transformation and development are necessary for high-

quality development. Looking forward as driven by environmental protection policies the paper making industry

chain will expand and deepen and the implementation of forestry pulp and paper integration will become the major

development trend of the paper making industry.In the first half of 2021 in the face of a complex and ever changing domestic and external environment the whole nation

conscientiously implemented the decisions and deployments of the Central Committee of the Communist Party and the

State Council and continued to consolidate and expand on the basis of the results of epidemic prevention and control

as well as the economic and social development. China’s economy continued to recover steadily and production

demand continued to rebound while quality and efficiency had steadily improved and economic development had

shown a stable and improving trend. The papermaking industry is an important basic raw material industry closely

related to the national economy and social development. During the reporting period due to the boost of upstream raw

material costs and the recovery of downstream demand the prosperity of the papermaking industry increased driving

the price of paper products to rise. At the same time as the price of pulp continued to rise steadily the prospects

were good for the large pulp and paper integrated enterprises and the benefits of the papermaking sector had

increased significantly. According to the data from the National Bureau of Statistics of China the total profit of industrial

enterprises above designated size in the papermaking and paper product industry from January to June 2021 was

RMB48.430 billion a year-on-year increase of 77.10%.SHANDONG CHENMING PAPER HOLDINGS LIMITED 11

XI. Risk exposures of the Company and the measures to be taken

1. Macroeconomic and policy risk

Paper making industry is a basic raw materials industry thus is being supported by national industry policies. Over the

years relevant competent departments issued a series of relevant policies and regulations including the Policy on the

Development of Papermaking Industry aiming to improve industry structure enhance product technology standard

energy saving and emission reduction as well as eliminate outdated production capacity. With the continuous economic

development the policies on papermaking industry may further adjust in the future. In addition the fiscal and financial

policies bank interest rate import and export policy and other policies may be adjusted in the future which will affect

the operation and development of the Company to a certain extent.Focusing on its principal operation on pulp production and papermaking the Company will strive to its innovation-

driven strategy. Centring on improving quality and efficiency with the in-depth incorporation of smart technology into

industrial activities as main theme the Company will comprehensively optimise industrial structure and regional layout

establish coordinated efficient industry system and respond to challenges arose by leveraging on its cost advantages

thus realising steady growth in operating results. At the same time the Company will strengthen the financial information

system construction regulate financial management enhance financing capability lower capital cost and strengthen its

economic risk aversion capability.2. Risk of intensifying market competition

As driven by industry policies environmental protection policies trade environment and other factors papermaking

enterprises commence strategic transformation and upgrade put greater efforts in innovation and research and

development improve quality and efficiency and enhance product competitiveness resulting in intensifying market

competition.Leveraging its vigorous management and world class equipment and technologies the Company will continue to

increase the value of Chenming brand and enhance brand influence. The Company has constructed several high-

end paper production lines with diversified product structure and full range of products thus diversifying the market

risk effectively. In addition the Company develops differentiated products in a timely manner to effectively respond to

market changes. Based on the location of production base products of the Company have achieved sales in nearby

areas and quick delivery thus effectively lowering transportation cost radiating to market network and enhancing

market competitiveness.22 SHANDONG CHENMING PAPER HOLDINGS LIMITED

INTERIM REPORT 2021

XI. Risk exposures of the Company and the measures to be taken (Cont’d)

3. Risk of price fluctuation of raw materials

Wood pulp and wood clips are the major raw materials of the Company. The market price of wood pulp fluctuates

significantly while wood clips are heavily dependent on export. If there is a significant fluctuation in prices of raw

materials in the future the product costs of the Company’s products will be affected which in turn affects the

performance of the Company.The Company strives to implement the development strategy of pulp and paper integration. At present the Company

has 3 large chemical pulp production lines in Shouguang Zhanjiang and Huanggang. Looking forward the Company will

focus on the construction of Hubei Huanggang Production Base in Central China aiming to further optimise the industry

chain of the integrated pulp and paper project of Huanggang Chenming create the strategic layout of three major

product bases for pulp and paper integration in Shandong Zhanjiang and Huanggang fully exploit the advantages

of full industry chain get rid of the restrictions brought by raw materials on the Company and strengthen the core

competitiveness of the Company.4. Environmental protection policy risk

In recent years China’s environmental protection standards have become stricter. China has successively introduced

and implemented the Law on the Prevention and Control of Environmental Pollution by Solid Waste (revised)

Management Law of Waste Disposal Permit (Draft) and other systems. A higher emission standard is bound to increase

the environmental protection costs in the industry and a high entry standard may result in the slowdown of scale

expansion.The Company always adheres to the development idea of “placing green development and environmental protection asits priority”. Starting from the source of production the Company widely adopts new technologies for energy saving and

emission reduction and strives to achieve its waste emission target. At present the Company adopts the world’s most

advanced “ultrafiltration membrane + reverse osmosis membrane” technology to complete the reclaimed water recycling

membrane treatment project. The reclaimed water recycle rate reaches more than 75%. The reclaimed water quality

meets drinking water standards which can save fresh water of 170000 cubic metres every day. At the same time the

Company actively explores the comprehensive utilisation of innovative resources and industrial recycling development

models and built three major circular economy ecological chains of “resources-products-renewable resources”.5. Risk on financial leasing business

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.Chenming Leasing has comprehensive risk prevention and control measures for the Company’s financial leasing

business with strong risk resistance and low risk of default. At present Financial Leasing Company continues to

implement the business strategy of continuous reduction.SHANDONG CHENMING PAPER HOLDINGS LIMITED 23

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 combination 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.74 SHANDONG CHENMING PAPER HOLDINGS LIMITED

5. Accounting treatment of business combinations under common control and not under common control

(Cont’d)

(2) Business combination not under common control (Cont’d)

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 12 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.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 AccountingStandards for Business Enterprises Interpretation No. 5 (Cai Kuai [2012] No. 19) and Rule of 51 to “AccountingStandard for Business Enterprises No. 33 – Consolidated Financial Statements”. If they belong to “transactions ina basket” they are accounted for with reference to the descriptions as set out in the previous paragraphs of this

section and Note V. 17 “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:

(Cont’d)

(2) Business combination not under common control (Cont’d)

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 remeasuring 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 remeasuring

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) Scope of consolidation

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. A subsidiary is an entity controlled by the Company (including an enterprise a separable part of an

investee a structured entity etc.).

(2) Basis for preparation of the consolidated financial statements

The consolidated financial statements are prepared by the Company based on the financial statements of the

Company and its subsidiaries and other relevant information. In preparing the consolidated financial statements

the accounting policies and accounting periods of the Company and its subsidiaries shall be consistent and intra-

company significant transactions and balances are eliminated.A subsidiary and its business acquired through a business combination involving entities under common control

during the reporting period shall be included in the scope of the consolidation of the Company from the date

of being controlled by the ultimate controlling party and its operating results and cash flows from the date of

being controlled by the ultimate controlling party are included in the consolidated income statement and the

consolidated cash flow statement respectively.76 SHANDONG CHENMING PAPER HOLDINGS LIMITED

(2) Basis for preparation of the consolidated financial statements (Cont’d)

For a subsidiary and its business acquired through a business combination involving entities not under common

control during the reporting period its income expenses and profits are included in the consolidated income

statement and cash flows are included in the consolidated cash flow statement from the acquisition date to the

end of the reporting period.The shareholders’ equity of the subsidiaries that is not attributable to the Company is presented under

shareholders’ equity in the consolidated balance sheet as minority interest. 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.

(3) Accounting treatment for loss of control over subsidiaries

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 sun of the share of the carrying amount of net assets of the former subsidiary calculated continuously

from the purchase date based on the shareholding percentage before disposal and the goodwill is recognised as

investment income in the period when the control is lost.Other comprehensive income related to equity investment in the former subsidiary shall be transferred to current

profit or loss at the time when the control is lost except for other comprehensive income arising from changes in

net assets or net liabilities due to remeasurement of defined benefit plan by the investee.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. The joint arrangements of the

Group comprise joint operations and joint ventures.

People’s Bank of China on that date in general and the same hereinafter.On the balance sheet date foreign currency monetary items shall be translated at the spot exchange rate on

the balance sheet date. The exchange difference arising from the difference between the spot exchange rate

on the balance sheet date and the spot exchange rate upon initial recognition or the last balance sheet date will

be recognised in profit or loss for the period. The foreign currency non-monetary items measured at historical

A financial instrument is a contract that gives rise to a financial asset of one party and a financial liability or equity

instrument of another party.

(1) Recognition and derecognition of financial instruments

Financial asset or financial liability will be recognised when the Group became one of the parties under a financial

instrument contract.Financial asset that satisfied any of the following criteria shall be derecognised:

① the contract right to receive the cash flows of the financial asset has terminated;

② the financial asset has been transferred and meets the derecognition criteria for the transfer of financial

asset as described below.A financial liability (or a part thereof) is derecognised only when the present obligation is discharged in full or

in part. If an agreement is entered between the Group (debtor) and a creditor to replace the existing financial

liabilities with new financial liabilities and the contractual terms of the new financial liabilities are substantially

different from those of the existing financial liabilities the existing financial liabilities shall be derecognised and the

new financial liabilities shall be recognised.Conventionally traded financial assets shall be recognised and derecognised at the trading date.SHANDONG CHENMING PAPER HOLDINGS LIMITED 79

(2) Classification and measurement of financial assets

The Group classifies the financial assets according to the business model for managing the financial assets and

characteristics of the contractual cash flows as follows: financial assets measured at amortised cost financial

assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income and financial assets measured at fair value

through profit or loss.Financial assets measured at amortised cost

A financial asset is measured at amortised cost if it meets both of the following conditions and is not designated

at fair value through other comprehensive income:

The Group’s business model for managing such financial assets is to collect contractual cash flows;

The contractual terms of the financial asset stipulate that cash flows generated on specific dates are solely

payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.Subsequent to initial recognition such financial assets are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest

method. A gain or loss on a financial asset that is measured at amortised cost and is not part of a hedging

relationship shall be recognised in profit or loss for the current period when the financial asset is derecognised

amortised using the effective interest method or with impairment recognised.Financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income

A financial asset is classified as measured at fair value through other comprehensive income if it meets both of the

following conditions and is not designated at fair value through profit or loss:

The Group’s business model for managing such financial assets is achieved both by collecting collect contractual

cash flows and selling such financial assets;

The contractual terms of the financial asset stipulate that cash flows generated on specific dates are solely

payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.Subsequent to initial recognition such financial assets are subsequently measured at fair value. Interest calculated

using the effective interest method impairment losses or gains and foreign exchange gains and losses are

recognised in profit or loss for the current period and other gains or losses are recognised in other comprehensive

income. On derecognition the cumulative gain or loss previously recognised in other comprehensive income is

reclassified from other comprehensive income to profit or loss.80 SHANDONG CHENMING PAPER HOLDINGS LIMITED

(2) Classification and measurement of financial assets (Cont’d)

Financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss

The Group classifies the financial assets other than those measured at amortised cost and measured at fair value

through other comprehensive income as financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss. Upon

initial recognition the Group irrevocably designates certain financial assets that are required to be measured at

amortised cost or at fair value through other comprehensive income as financial assets measured at fair value

through profit or loss in order to eliminate or significantly reduce accounting mismatch.Upon initial recognition such financial assets are measured at fair value. Except for those held for hedging

purposes gains or losses (including interests and dividend income) arising from such financial assets are

recognised in the profit or loss for the current period.The business model for managing financial assets refers to how the Group manages its financial assets in order to

generate cash flows. That is the Group’s business model determines whether cash flows will result from collecting

contractual cash flows selling financial assets or both. The Group determines the business model for managing

financial assets on the basis of objective facts and specific business objectives for managing financial assets

determined by key management personnel.The Group assesses the characteristics of the contractual cash flows of financial assets to determine whether

the contractual cash flows generated by the relevant financial assets on a specific date are solely payments of

principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding. The principal refers to the fair value of the financial

assets at the initial recognition. Interest includes consideration for the time value of money for the credit risk

associated with the principal amount outstanding during a particular period of time and for other basic lending

risks costs and profits. In addition the Group evaluates the contractual terms that may result in a change in the

time distribution or amount of contractual cash flows from a financial asset to determine whether it meets the

requirements of the above contractual cash flow characteristics.All affected financial assets are reclassified on the first day of the first reporting period following the change in the

business model where the Group changes its business model for managing financial assets; otherwise financial

assets shall not be reclassified after initial recognition.Financial assets are measured at fair value upon initial recognition. For financial assets measured at fair value

through profit or loss relevant transaction costs are directly recognised in profit or loss for the current period.For other categories of financial assets relevant transaction costs are included in the amount initially recognised.Accounts receivable or notes receivable arising from sales of goods or rendering services without significant

financing component are initially recognised based on the transaction price expected to be entitled by the Group.SHANDONG CHENMING PAPER HOLDINGS LIMITED 81

(3) Classification and measurement of financial liabilities

At initial recognition financial liabilities of the Group are classified as financial liabilities measured at fair value

through profit or loss and financial liabilities measured at amortised cost. For financial liabilities not classified

as measured at fair value through profit or loss relevant transaction costs are included in the amount initially

recognised.Financial liabilities measured at fair value through profit or loss

Financial liabilities measured at fair value through profit or loss comprise held-for-trading financial liabilities and

financial liabilities designated at fair value through profit or loss upon initial recognition. Such financial liabilities

are subsequently measured at fair value and the gains or losses from the change in fair value and the dividend or

interest expenses related to the financial liabilities are included in the profit or loss of the current period.Financial liabilities measured at amortised cost

Other financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method

and the gains or losses arising from derecognition or amortisation are recognised in profit or loss for the current

period.Classification between financial liabilities and equity instruments

A financial liability is a liability if:

① it has a contractual obligation to pay in cash or other financial assets to other parties.② it has a contractual obligation to exchange financial assets or financial liabilities under potential adverse

condition with other parties.③ it is a non-derivative instrument contract which will or may be settled with the entity’s own equity

instruments and the entity will deliver a variable number of its own equity instruments according to such

contract.④ it is a derivative instrument contract which will or may be settled with the entity’s own equity instruments

except for a derivative instrument contract that exchanges a fixed amount of cash or other financial asset

with a fixed number of its own equity instruments.82 SHANDONG CHENMING PAPER HOLDINGS LIMITED

Classification between financial liabilities and equity instruments (Cont’d)

Equity instruments are any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of an entity after deducting all

of its liabilities.If the Group cannot unconditionally avoid the performance of a contractual obligation by paying cash or delivering

other financial assets the contractual obligation meets the definition of financial liabilities.Where a financial instrument must or may be settled with the Group’s own equity instruments the Group’s own

equity instruments used to settle such instrument should be considered as to whether it is as a substitute for cash

or other financial assets or for the purpose of enabling the holder of the instrument to be entitled to the remaining

interest in the assets of the issuer after deducting all of its liabilities. For the former it is a financial liability of the

Group; for the latter it is the Group’s own equity instruments.

(4) Derivative financial instruments

The Group’s derivative financial instruments are mainly forward foreign exchange contracts which are initially

recognised at fair value on the date a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently measured at their

fair value. A derivative financial instrument is recognised as an asset when the fair value is positive and as a

liability when the fair value is negative. Any gain or loss arising from changes in fair value and not complying with

the accounting requirements on hedging shall be recognised in profit or loss for current period.

(5) Fair value of financial instruments

The methods for determining the fair value of the financial assets or financial liabilities are set out in Note V. 40.

(6) Impairment of financial assets

The Group makes provision for impairment based on expected credit losses (ECLs) on the following items:

Financial assets measured at amortised cost;

Debt investments measured at fair value through other comprehensive income;

Measurement of ECLs

ECLs are the weighted average of credit losses of financial instruments weighted by the risk of default. Credit

losses refer to the difference between all contractual cash flows receivable according to the contract and

discounted according to the original effective interest rate and all cash flows expected to be received i.e. the

present value of all cash shortages.The Group takes into account reasonable and well-founded information such as past events current conditions

and forecasts of future economic conditions and calculates the probability-weighted amount of the present value

of the difference between the cash flows receivable from the contract and the cash flows expected to be received

weighted by the risk of default.The Group measures ECLs of financial instruments at different stages. If the credit risk of the financial instrument

did not increase significantly upon initial recognition it is at the first stage and the Group makes provision for

impairment based on the ECLs within the next 12 months; if the credit risk of a financial instrument increased

significantly upon initial recognition but has not yet incurred credit impairment it is at the second stage and the

Group makes provision for impairment based on the lifetime ECLs of the instrument; if the financial instrument

incurred credit impairment upon initial recognition it is at the third stage and the Group makes provision for

impairment based on the lifetime ECLs of the instrument.For financial instruments with low credit risk on the balance sheet date the Group assumes that the credit risk did

not increase significantly upon initial recognition and makes provision for impairment based on the ECLs within

the next 12 months.Lifetime ECLs represent the ECLs resulting from all possible default events over the expected life of a financial

instrument. The 12-month ECLs are the ECLs resulting from possible default events on a financial instrument

within 12 months (or a shorter period if the expected life of the financial instrument is less than 12 months) after

the balance sheet date and is a portion of lifetime ECLs.The maximum period to be considered when estimating ECLs is the maximum contractual period over which the

Group is exposed to credit risk including renewal options.For the financial instruments at the first and second stages and with low credit risks the Group calculates the

interest income based on the book balance and the effective interest rate before deducting the impairment

provisions. For financial instruments at the third stage interest income is calculated based on the amortised cost

after deducting impairment provisions made from the book balance and the effective interest rate.For bills receivable accounts receivable and contract assets regardless of whether there is a significant financing

component the Group always makes provision for impairment at an amount equal to lifetime ECLs.84 SHANDONG CHENMING PAPER HOLDINGS LIMITED

Measurement of ECLs (Cont’d)

When the Group is unable to assess the information of ECLs for an individual financial asset at a reasonable cost

it classifies bills receivable and accounts receivable into portfolios based on the credit risk characteristics and

calculates the ECLs on a portfolio basis. The basis for determining the portfolios is as follows:

A. Bills receivable

Bills receivable portfolio 1: Bank acceptance bills

Bills receivable portfolio 2: Commercial acceptance bills

B. Accounts receivable

Accounts receivable portfolio 1: Factoring receivables

Accounts receivable portfolio 2: Receivables from non-related party customers

Accounts receivable portfolio 3: Due from related party customers

For bills receivable classified as a portfolio the Group refers to the historical credit loss experience combined

with the current situation and the forecast of future economic conditions to calculate the ECLs based on default

risk exposure and lifetime ECL rate.For accounts receivable classified as a portfolio the Group refers to the historical credit loss experience

combined with the current situation and the forecast of future economic conditions to prepare a comparison table

of the ageing/overdue days of accounts receivable and the lifetime ECL rate to calculate the ECLs.Other receivables

The Group classifies other receivables into portfolios based on credit risk characteristics and calculates the ECLs

on a portfolio basis. The basis for determining the portfolios is as follows:

Other receivables portfolio 1: Amount due from government authorities

Other receivables portfolio 2: Amount due from related parties

Other receivables portfolio 3: Other receivables

For other receivables classified as a portfolio the Group calculates the ECLs based on default risk exposure and

the ECL rate over the next 12 months or the entire lifetime.SHANDONG CHENMING PAPER HOLDINGS LIMITED 85

portfolios is as follows:

A. Finance lease receivables

Finance lease receivables portfolio 1: Receivables not past due

Finance lease receivables portfolio 2: Overdue receivables

B. Other long-term receivables

For deposits receivable and other receivables the Group refers to the historical credit loss experience combined

with the current situation and the forecast of future economic conditions and calculates the ECLs based on

default risk exposure and lifetime ECL rate.Except for those of finance lease receivables and deposits receivable the ECLs of other receivables and long-

term receivables classified as a portfolio are measured based on default risk exposure and ECL rate over the next

12 months or the entire lifetime.Debt investments and other debt investments

For debt investments and other debt investments the Group measures the ECLs based on the nature of the

investment the types of counterparty and risk exposure and default risk exposure and ECL rate within the next

12 months or the entire lifetime.86 SHANDONG CHENMING PAPER HOLDINGS LIMITED

Assessment of significant increase in credit risk

In assessing whether the credit risk of a financial instrument has increased significantly upon initial recognition

the Group compares the risk of default of the financial instrument at the balance sheet date with that at the date

of initial recognition to determine the relative change in risk of default within the expected lifetime of the financial

instrument.In determining whether the credit risk has increased significantly upon initial recognition the Group considers

reasonable and well-founded information including forward-looking information which can be obtained without

unnecessary extra costs or efforts. Information considered by the Group includes:

The debtor’s failure to make payments of principal and interest on their contractually due dates;

An actual or expected significant deterioration in a financial instrument’s external or internal credit rating (if any);

An actual or expected significant deterioration in the operating results of the debtor;

Existing or expected changes in the technological market economic or legal environment that have a significant

adverse effect on the debtor’s ability to meet its obligation to the Group.Depending on the nature of the financial instruments the Group assesses whether there has been a significant

increase in credit risk on either an individual basis or a collective basis. When the assessment is performed on a

collective basis the financial instruments are grouped based on their common credit risk characteristics such as

past due information and credit risk ratings.The Group determines that the credit risk on a financial asset has increased significantly if it is more than 30 days

past due.Credit-impaired financial assets

At balance sheet date the Group assesses whether financial assets measured at amortised cost and debt

investments measured at fair value through other comprehensive income are credit-impaired. A financial asset is

credit-impaired when one or more events that have an adverse effect on the estimated future cash flows of the

financial asset have occurred. Evidence that a financial asset is credit-impaired includes the following observable

events:

Significant financial difficulty of the issuer or debtor;

A breach of contract by the debtor such as a default or delinquency in interest or principal payments;

For economic or contractual reasons relating to the debtor’s financial difficulty the Group having granted to the

debtor a concession that would not otherwise consider;

It becoming probable that the debtor will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganisation;

The disappearance of an active market for that financial asset because of financial difficulties of the issuer or

debtor.SHANDONG CHENMING PAPER HOLDINGS LIMITED 87

Presentation of provisions for ECLs

ECLs are remeasured at each balance sheet date to reflect changes in the financial instrument’s credit risk upon

initial recognition. Any change in the ECL amount is recognised as an impairment gain or loss in profit or loss for

the current period. For financial assets measured at amortised cost the provisions of impairment is deducted

from the carrying amount of the financial assets presented in the balance sheet; for debt investments at fair value

through other comprehensive income the Group makes provisions of impairment in other comprehensive income

without reducing the carrying amount of the financial asset.Write-offs

The book balance of a financial asset is directly written off to the extent that there is no realistic prospect of

recovery of the contractual cash flows of the financial asset (either partially or in full). Such write-off constitutes

derecognition of such financial asset. This is generally the case when the Group determines that the debtor does

not have assets or sources of income that could generate sufficient cash flows to repay the amounts subject to

the write-off. However financial assets that are written off could still be subject to enforcement activities in order

to comply with the Group’s procedures for recovery of amounts due.If a write-off of financial assets is subsequently recovered the recovery is credited to profit or loss in the period in

which the recovery occurs.

(7) Transfer of financial assets

Transfer of financial assets refers to the transfer or delivery of financial assets to another party other than the

issuer of such financial assets (the transferee).If the Group transfers substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset to the transferee

the financial asset shall be derecognised. If the Group retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership

of a financial asset the financial asset shall not be derecognised.If the Group neither transfers nor retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset

it accounts for the transaction as follows: if the Group does not retain control it derecognises the financial asset

and recognises any resulting assets or liabilities; if the control over the financial asset is not waived the relevant

financial asset is recognised according to the extent of its continuing involvement in the transferred financial asset

and the relevant liability is recognised accordingly.

(8) Offset of financial assets and financial liabilities

If the Group owns the legitimate rights of offsetting the recognised financial assets and financial liabilities which

are enforceable currently and the Group plans to realise the financial assets or to clear off the financial liabilities

on a net amount basis or simultaneously the net amount of financial assets and financial liabilities shall be

presented in the balance sheet upon offsetting. Otherwise financial assets and financial liabilities are presented

separately in the balance sheet without offsetting.88 SHANDONG CHENMING PAPER HOLDINGS LIMITED

Method for determining the ECLs of bills receivable

The Company measures the loss provisions for bills receivable in accordance with the ECLs amount for the entire

period. Based on the credit risk characteristics of bills receivable bills receivable are divided into different groups:

Item Basis for determining the groups

Bank acceptance bills The acceptance party is a bank with less credit risk

Commercial acceptance bills The acceptance party is a company with higher credit risk

12. Accounts receivable

Method for determining the ECLs of accounts receivable

For receivables and contract assets that do not contain significant financing components the Company measures loss

receivables which are individually assessed for credit risk they are also classified into different groups based on their

credit risk characteristics:

Item Basis for determining the groups

Dividends receivable This group comprises dividends receivable.Interest receivable This group comprises interest due from financial institutions.Amount due from government This group comprises amount due from government agencies with less risks.agencies

Amount due from related parties This group comprises amount due from related parties with less risks.Other receivables This group comprises for all types of deposits advances and premiums receivable

(1) Classification of inventories

Inventories of the Group mainly include raw materials work in progress goods in stock development products

and consumable biological assets etc.

(2) Pricing of inventories dispatched

Inventories of the Group are measured at their actual cost when obtained. Cost of raw materials goods in stock

and others will be calculated with weighted average method when being dispatched.Consumable biological assets refer to biological assets held-for-sale which include growing timber. Consumable

biological assets without a stock are stated at historical 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 stock volume proportion method.90 SHANDONG CHENMING PAPER HOLDINGS LIMITED

(3) Recognition of net realisable value of inventories and provision for inventory impairment

Net realisable value of inventories refers to the amount of the estimated price of inventories less the estimated

cost incurred upon completion estimated sales expenses and taxes and levies. 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 provision for inventory impairment is made when the cost is higher than the net

realisable value. The Group usually make provision for inventory impairment based on categories of inventories. At

the balance sheet date in case the factors causing inventory impairment no longer exists the original provision for

inventory impairment shall be reversed.

(4) Inventory stock taking system

The Group implements permanent inventory system as its inventory stock taking system.

(5) Amortisation of low-value consumables and packaging materials

The low-value consumables of the Group are amortised when issued for use.Packaging materials for turnover are amortised when issued for use.16. Contract assets

Contract assets are the Company’s right to consideration in exchange for goods that the Company has transferred to

customers when that right is conditioned on something other than the passage of time. The Company’s unconditional

right to receive consideration from customers (only the passage of time is required) is accounted for as accounts

receivable.The methods for determination and accounting treatment of the ECLs on contract assets are detailed in Note V. 10

Financial instruments.17. Contract costs

Contract costs are either the incremental costs of obtaining a contract with a customer or the costs to fulfil a contract

with a customer.Incremental costs of obtaining a contract are those costs that the Company incurs to obtain a contract with a customer

that it would not have incurred if the contract had not been obtained e.g. an incremental sales commission. The

Company recognises as an asset the incremental costs of obtaining a contract with a customer if it expects to recover

those costs. Other costs of obtaining a contract are expensed when incurred.If the costs to fulfil a contract with a customer are not within the scope of inventories or other accounting standards

the Company recognises an asset from the costs incurred to fulfil a contract only if those costs meet all of the following

criteria:

① the costs relate directly to an existing contract or to a specifically identifiable anticipated contract including direct

labour direct materials allocations of overheads (or similar costs) costs that are explicitly chargeable to the

customer and other costs that are incurred only because the Group entered into the contract;

② the costs generate or enhance resources of the Company that will be used in satisfying (or in continuing to satisfy)

performance obligations in the future;

③ the costs are expected to be recovered.SHANDONG CHENMING PAPER HOLDINGS LIMITED 91

17. Contract costs (Cont’d)

Assets recognised for the incremental costs of obtaining a contract and assets recognised for the costs to fulfil a

contract (the “assets related to contract costs”) are amortised on a systematic basis that is consistent with the transfer

to the customer of the goods or services to which the assets relate and recognised in profit or loss for the current

period. An expense is recognised when incurred if the amortisation period is less than one year.The Company recognises an impairment loss in profit or loss to the extent that the carrying amount of an asset related

to contract costs exceeds:

① remaining amount of consideration that the Company expects to receive in exchange for the goods or services to

which the asset relates;

② the cost estimated to be happened for the transfer of related goods or services.The costs of contract performance recognised as assets if the amortisation period is less than one year or a normal

operating cycle upon the initial recognition are presented as “Inventories” item and if the amortisation period is more

than one year or a normal operating cycle upon the initial recognition are presented as “Other non-current assets” item.The contract obtaining costs recognised as assets if the amortisation period is less than one year or a normal operating

cycle upon the initial recognition are presented as “Other current assets” item and if the amortisation period is more

than one year or a normal operating cycle upon the initial recognition are presented as “Other non-current assets” item.18. Held for sale

A non-current asset or disposal group is classified as held for sale if its carrying amount will be recovered principally

through a sale transaction (including a non-monetary asset exchange with commercial substance) rather than through

continuing use.The aforesaid non-current asset does not include the investment property subsequently measured at fair value the

biological assets measured at the net amount of the fair value deducting the sales expense the assets generated from

remuneration financial assets deferred income tax assets and rights from insurance contract.A disposal group is a group of assets to be disposed of together as a whole by sale or other means in a transaction and

liabilities directly associated with those assets that will be transferred in the transaction. In certain circumstances the

disposal group includes the goodwill acquired in the business combination.A non-current asset or a disposal group is classified as held for sale if it meets all of the following conditions: the non-

current asset or disposal group is available for immediate sale in its present condition subject only to terms that are

usual and customary for sales of such asset or disposal group; the sale is highly probable i.e. a sale plan has been

resolved and a firm purchase commitment has been obtained and the sale is expected to be completed within one year.When the Group loses control of a subsidiary due to reasons such as disposal of investment in a subsidiary regardless

of whether the Group retains part of the equity investment after the disposal when the investment in a subsidiary

intended to be disposed of meets the conditions for classification as held for sale the investment in a subsidiary is

classified as held for sale as a whole in the separate financial statements and all assets and liabilities of the subsidiary

are classified as held for sale in the consolidated financial statements.When the non-current assets or disposal groups held for sale are initially measured or remeasured at the balance sheet

date the excess of the carrying amount over the net amount of the fair value less selling expenses is recognised as

asset impairment loss. For the amount of impairment loss recognised on disposal groups held for sale the carrying

amount of the goodwill of the disposal group shall be offset against first and then be offset against the carrying amount

of non-current assets according to the proportion of the carrying amount of non-current assets.92 SHANDONG CHENMING PAPER HOLDINGS LIMITED

increases on the subsequent balance sheet date the amount previously written down shall be recovered and reversed

in the amount of asset impairment loss recognised after be classified as held for sale and the reversed amount shall be

included in the current profit and loss. The carrying amount of goodwill written off shall not be reversed.Non-current assets held for sale and assets in disposal group held for sale are not depreciated or amortised. Interest

and other expenses of a disposal group classified as held for sale continue to be recognised. For all or part of an

investment in an associate or a joint venture that is classified as held for sale the part of being classified as held for sale

shall cease to be accounted for using the equity method while any retained portion (not classified as held for sale) shall

continue to be accounted for using the equity method; The Group ceases to use the equity method from the date when

the Group ceases to have significant influence over an associate or a joint venture.If a non-current asset or disposal group is classified as held for sale but subsequently no longer meets the criteria for

being classified as held for sale the Group shall cease to classify it as held for sale and measure it at the lower of:

(1) the carrying amount of the asset or disposal group before being classified as held for sale is adjusted by the

depreciation amortisation or impairment that would have been recognised if the asset or disposal group had not

been classified as held for sale;

(2) recoverable amount.

19. Long-term receivables

The Company measures the impairment loss of long-term receivables at an amount equal to the ECLs in the next 12

months or the lifetime ECLs depending on whether its credit risk has significantly increased upon initial recognition.Other than the long-term receivables assessed individually for credit risks long-term receivables are classified into

different groups based on their credit risk characteristics:

Item Basis for determining the groups

Long-term receivables The group is comprised of long-term receivables not yet past due with normal

not yet past due exposures.Long-term receivables overdue This group is comprised of long-term receivables with higher past due exposures.SHANDONG CHENMING PAPER HOLDINGS LIMITED 93

20. Long-term equity investments

Long-term equity investments include the equity investments in subsidiaries joint ventures and associates. Associates

of the Group are those investees that the Group imposes significant influence over.

(1) Determination of initial investment cost

Long-term equity investments acquired through business combinations: for a long-term equity investment

acquired through a business combination involving enterprises under common control the investment cost shall

be the absorbing party’s share of the carrying amount of the owners’ equity under the consolidated financial

statements of the ultimate controlling party on the date of combination. For a long-term equity investment

acquired through a business combination involving enterprises not under common control the investment cost of

the long-term equity investment shall be the cost of combination.Long-term equity investments acquired through other means: for a long-term equity investment acquired by cash

payment the initial investment cost shall be the purchase cost actually paid; for a long-term equity investment

acquired by issuing equity securities the initial investment cost shall be the fair value of equity securities issued.

(2) Subsequent measurement and method for profit or loss recognition

Investments in subsidiaries shall be accounted for using the cost method. Except for the investments which meet

the conditions of holding for sale investments in associates and joint ventures shall be accounted for using the

equity method.For a long-term equity investment accounted for using the cost method the cash dividends or profits declared by

the investees for distribution shall be recognised as investment gains and included in profit or loss for the current

period except the case of 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.For a long-term equity investment accounted for using the equity method where the initial investment cost

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 investment cost of the long-term equity investment. 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 adjustment shall be made to the carrying amount of the long-term equity investment and the difference shall

be charged to profit or loss for the current period.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 Group’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 (other capital reserves). The Group 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 according to the accounting policies and accounting periods of the

Group.94 SHANDONG CHENMING PAPER HOLDINGS LIMITED

(2) Subsequent measurement and method for profit or loss recognition (Cont’d)

For additional equity investment made in order to obtain significant influence or common control over investee

without resulted in control the initial investment cost under the equity method shall be the aggregate of fair

value of previously held equity investment and additional investment cost on the date of transfer. The difference

between the fair value and carrying amount of previously held equity investment on the date of transfer and the

accumulated change in fair value originally included in other comprehensive income shall be recognised in the

profit or loss for the current period under the equity method.In the event of loss of common control or significant influence over investee due to partial disposal of equity

investment the remaining equity interest after disposal shall be accounted for according to the Accounting

Standard for Business Enterprises No. 22 – Recognition and measurement of Financial Instruments. The difference

between its fair value and carrying amount 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 related to the

previous equity investment shall be transferred to profit or loss for the current period.In the event of loss of control over investee due to partial disposal of equity investment 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 Accounting Standard for Business Enterprises No. 22 – Recognition and measurement 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.If the shareholding ratio of the Group is reduced due to the capital increase of other investors and as a result

the Company loses the control of but still can apply common control or impose significant influence over the

investee the net asset increase due to the capital increase of the investee attributable to the Company shall be

recognised according to the new shareholding ratio and the difference with the original carrying amount of the

long-term equity investment corresponding to the shareholding ratio reduction part that should be carried forward

shall be recorded in the profit or loss for the current period; and then it shall be adjusted according to the new

shareholding ratio as if equity method is used for accounting when acquiring the investment.In respect of the transactions between the Group and its associates and joint ventures the share of unrealised

gain or loss arising from internal transactions shall be eliminated by the portion attributable to the Group.Investment gain shall be recognised accordingly. However any unrealised loss arising from internal transactions

between the Group and an investee is not eliminated to the extent that the loss is impairment loss of the

transferred assets.SHANDONG CHENMING PAPER HOLDINGS LIMITED 95

(3) Basis for determining the common control and significant influence on the investee

Common control is the 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. When determining

if there is any common control it should first be identified if the arrangement is controlled by all the participants

or the group consisting of the participants and then determined if the decision on the arranged activity can be

made only with the unanimous consent of the participants sharing the control. If all the participants or a group

of participants can only decide the relevant activities of certain arrangement through concerted action it can

be considered that all the participants or a group of participants share common control on the arrangement. If

there are two or more participant groups that can collectively control certain arrangement it does not constitute

common control. When determining if there is any common control the relevant protection rights will not be taken

into account.Significant influence is the power of the investor 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. When

determining if there is any significant influence on the investee the influence of the voting shares of the investee

held by the investor directly and indirectly and the potential voting rights held by the investor and other parties

which are exercisable in the current period and converted to the equity of the investee including the warrants

stock options and convertible bonds that are issued by the investee and can be converted in the current period

shall be taken into account.When the Group holds directly or indirectly through the subsidiary 20% (inclusive) to 50% of the voting shares

of the investee it is generally considered to have significant influence on the investee unless there is concrete

evidence to prove that it cannot participate in the production and operation decision-making of the investee and

cannot pose significant influence in this situation. When the Group owns less than 20% of the voting shares of the

investee it is generally considered that it has not significantly influenced on the investee unless there is concrete

evidence to prove that it can participate in the production and operation decision-making of the investee and

cannot pose significant influence in this situation.

(4) Method for impairment test and measurement of impairment provision

For the method for making impairment provision for the investment in subsidiaries associates and joint ventures

please refer to Note V. 27.21. Investment property

Investment property refers to real estate held to earn rentals or for capital appreciation or both. The investment property

of the Group includes leased land use rights land use rights held for sale after appreciation and leased buildings.The investment property of the Group is measured initially at cost upon acquisition and subject to depreciation or

amortisation in the relevant periods according to the relevant provisions on fixed assets or intangible assets.For the method for making impairment provision for the investment property adopted cost method for subsequent

measurement please refer to Note V. 27.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.96 SHANDONG CHENMING PAPER HOLDINGS LIMITED

22. Fixed assets

(1) Conditions for recognition

Fixed assets of the Group 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 of the Group shall be initially measured at actual cost when

acquired.

(2) Depreciation method

Useful lives of Estimated Annual

depreciation residual value depreciation

Category Depreciation method (Year) (%) 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 and others Straight-line method 5 5-10 18.00-19.00

The Group adopts the straight-line method for depreciation. Provision for depreciation will be started when the

fixed asset reaches its expected usable state and stopped when the fixed asset is derecognised or classified

as a non-current asset held for sale. Without regard to the depreciation provision the Group determines the

depreciation rate by category estimated useful lives and estimated residual value of the fixed assets. Where for

the fixed assets for which depreciation provision is made to determine the depreciation rate the accumulated

amount of the fixed asset depreciation provision that has been made shall be deducted.The impairment test method and impairment provision method of the fixed assets are set out in Note V. 27.The Group will re-check the useful lives estimated net residual value and depreciation method of the fixed assets

at the end of each year. When there is any difference between the useful lives estimate and the originally estimated

value the useful lives of the fixed asset shall be adjusted. When there is any difference between the estimated net

residual value estimate and the originally estimated value the estimated net residual value shall be adjusted.For the overhaul expense incurred by the Group during the regular inspection on the fixed assets if there is

concrete evidence to prove that it meets the fixed asset recognition condition it shall be included in the cost of

fixed asset; if it does not meet the fixed asset recognition condition it shall be included in the profit or loss for the

current period. The depreciation of fixed assets shall be continued in the intervals of the regular overhaul of the

fixed asset.23. Construction in progress

Construction in progress of the Group is recognised based on the actual construction cost including all necessary

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 impairment provision of construction in progress is set out in Note V. 27.SHANDONG CHENMING PAPER HOLDINGS LIMITED 97

24. Borrowing costs

(1) Recognition principle for the capitalisation of the borrowing costs

The borrowing costs incurred by the Group directly attributable to the acquisition construction or production

of a qualifying asset will be capitalised and included in the cost of relevant asset. Other borrowing costs will be

recognised as expenses when incurred according to the incurred amount and included in the profit or loss for the

current period. When the borrowing costs meet all the following conditions capitalisation shall be started:

① The capital expenditure has been incurred which includes the expenditure incurred by paying cash

transferring non-cash assets or undertaking interest-bearing liabilities for acquiring constructing or

producing the qualifying assets;

② The borrowing costs have been incurred;

③ The acquisition construction or production activity necessary for the asset to be ready for its intended use

or sale has been started.

(2) Capitalisation period of borrowing costs

When a qualifying asset acquired constructed or produced by the Group is ready for its intended use or sale

the capitalisation of the borrowing costs shall discontinue. The borrowing costs incurred after a qualifying asset

is ready for its intended use or sale shall be recognised as expenses when incurred according to the incurred

amount and included in the profit or loss for the current period.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. The capitalisation of the borrowing costs shall be continued in the normal interruption period.

(3) Calculation methods for capitalisation rate and capitalised amount of the borrowing costs

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.98 SHANDONG CHENMING PAPER HOLDINGS LIMITED

25. Right-of-use assets

(1) Conditions for recognition of right-of-use assets

Right-of-use assets of the Group are defined as the right of underlying assets in the lease term for the Group as a

lessee.Right-of-use assets are initially measured at cost at the commencement date of the lease. The cost includes the

amount of the initial measurement of lease liability; lease payments made at or before the inception of the lease

less any lease incentives enjoyed; initial direct costs incurred by the Group as lessee; costs to be incurred in

dismantling and removing the underlying assets restoring the site on which it is located or restoring the underlying

asset to the condition required by the terms and conditions of the lease incurred by the Group as lessee. As

a lessee the Group recognises and measures the costs of dismantling and restoration in accordance with the

Accounting Standard for Business Enterprises No. 13 – Contingencies. Subsequently the lease liability is adjusted

for any remeasurement of the lease liability.

(2) Depreciation method of right-of-use assets

The Group uses the straight-line method for depreciation. Where the Group as a lessee is reasonably certain to

obtain ownership of the leased asset at the end of the lease term such asset is depreciated over the remaining

useful life of the leased asset. Where ownership of the lease assets during the lease term cannot be reasonably

determined right-of-use assets are depreciated over the lease term or the remainder of useful lives of the lease

assets whichever is shorter.

(3) For the methods of impairment test and impairment provision of right-of-use assets please refer to Note V. 27.

26. Intangible assets

(1) Measurement method useful life and impairment testing

The intangible assets of the Group include land use rights software and certificates of third party right.The intangible asset is initially measured at cost and its useful life is determined upon acquisition. If the useful life

is finite the intangible asset will be amortised over the estimated useful life using the amortisation method that

can reflect the estimated realisation of the economic benefits related to the asset starting from the time when

it is available for use. If it is unable to reliably determine the estimated realisation straight-line method shall be

adopted for amortisation. The intangible assets with uncertain useful life will not be amortised.The amortisation methods for the intangible assets with finite useful life are as follows:

Type Useful life (year) Method of amortisation Remark

Land use rights 50-70 Straight-line method

Software 5-10 Straight-line method

Certificates of third party right 3 Straight-line method

The Group reviews the useful life and amortisation method of the intangible assets with finite useful life at the

end of each year. If it is different from the previous estimates the original estimates will be adjusted and will be

treated as a change in accounting estimate.If it is estimated on the balance sheet date that certain intangible asset can no longer bring future economic

benefit to the company the carrying amount of the intangible asset will be entirely transferred into the profit or

loss for the current period.The impairment method for the intangible assets is set out in Note V. 27.SHANDONG CHENMING PAPER HOLDINGS LIMITED 99

(2) Accounting policy for internal research and development expenditure

Research and development expenditure of the Group is divided into expenses incurred during the research phase

and expenses incurred during the development phase.Expenses incurred during the research phase and the development phase are recognised in profit or loss in the

current period.27. Long-term asset impairment

Impairment of long-term equity investments in subsidiaries associates and joint ventures asset impairment on

investment property fixed assets construction in progress materials for project right-of-use assets intangible assets

goodwill and others (excluding inventories deferred tax assets and financial assets) subsequently measured at cost is

determined as follows:

The Group determines if there is any indication of asset impairment as at the balance sheet date. If there is any evidence

indicating that an asset may be impaired recoverable amount shall be estimated for impairment test. Goodwill arising

from business combinations intangible assets with an indefinite useful life and intangible assets not ready for use will be

tested for impairment annually regardless of whether there is any indication of impairment.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. The Group estimates the recoverable amount of an individual

asset. If it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of the individual asset the Group shall determine the

recoverable amount of the asset group to which the asset belongs. The determination of an asset group is based on

whether major cash inflows generated by the asset group are independent of the cash inflows from other assets or asset

groups.When the recoverable amount of an asset or an asset group is less than its carrying amount the carrying amount is

reduced to its recoverable amount. The reduction amount is charged to profit or loss and an impairment provision is

made accordingly.For the purpose of impairment test of goodwill the carrying amount of goodwill acquired in a business combination is

allocated to the relevant asset groups on a reasonable basis from the acquisition date; where it is difficult to allocate

to the related asset groups it is allocated to the combination of related asset groups. The related asset groups or

combination of asset groups are those which can benefit from the synergies of the business combination and are not

larger than the reportable segments identified by the Group.In the impairment test if there is any indication that an asset group or a combination of asset groups related to goodwill

may be impaired the Group first tests the asset group or set of asset groups excluding goodwill for impairment

calculates the recoverable amount and recognises the corresponding impairment loss. An impairment test is then carried

out on the asset group or combination of asset groups containing goodwill by comparing its carrying amount with its

recoverable amount. If the recoverable amount is lower than the carrying amount an impairment loss is recognised for

goodwill.An impairment loss recognised shall not be reversed in a subsequent period.28. Long-term prepaid expenses

The long-term prepaid expenses incurred by the Group shall be recognised based on the actual cost and evenly

amortised over the estimated benefit period. For the long-term prepaid expense that cannot benefit the subsequent

accounting periods its value after amortisation shall be entirely included in the profit or loss for the current period.100 SHANDONG CHENMING PAPER HOLDINGS LIMITED

29. Contract liabilities

A contract liability represents the Company’s obligation to transfer goods to a customer for which the Company has

received consideration (or an amount of consideration is due) from the customer. If the customer has already paid

the contract consideration before the Company transfers goods to the customer or the Company has obtained the

unconditional collection right the Company will recognise such amount received or receivable as contract liabilities

at earlier of the actual payment by the customer or the amount payable becoming due. Contract assets and contract

liabilities under the same contract are presented on a net basis and contract assets and contract liabilities under

different contracts are not offset.30. Employee benefits

(1) Scope of employee benefits

Employee benefits are all forms of considerations or compensation given by an entity in exchange for services

rendered by employees or for the termination of employment. Employee benefits include short-term staff

remuneration post-employment benefits termination benefits and other long-term employee benefits. Employee

benefits include benefits provided to employees’ spouses children other dependants survivors of the deceased

employees or to other beneficiaries.Employee benefits are presented as “employee benefits payable” and “long-term employee benefits payable” in

the balance sheet respectively according to liquidity.

(2) Short-term staff remuneration

Employee wages or salaries actually incurred bonuses and social insurance contributions such as medical

insurance work injury insurance maternity insurance and housing fund contributed at the applicable benchmarks

and rates are recognised as a liability as the employees provide services with a corresponding charge to profit or

loss or included in the cost of assets where appropriate. Where the payment of liability is expected not to be fully

settled within 12 months after the end of the annual reporting period in which the employees render the related

services and the financial impact would be material these liabilities are measured at their discounted values.

(3) Post-employment benefits

Post-employment benefit plans include defined contribution plans and defined benefit plans. A defined

contribution plan is a post-employment benefit plan under which the Group pays fixed contributions into a

separate fund and the Group has no further obligations for payment. A defined benefit plan is a post-employment

benefit plan other than a defined contribution plan.Defined contribution plans

Defined contribution plans include basic pension insurance and unemployment insurance both of which are

operated and managed by the government authorities and are non-refundable whereas the Company has no

access nor any discretion after making contributions and hence there were not any forfeited contributions as

under paragraph 26(2) of appendix 16 of the Hong Kong Listing Rules for the financial year ended 31 December

2020. In other words the Group did not forfeit any contributions on behalf of its employees who leave the plan

prior to vesting fully in such contributions. Hence there were no such an issue whether forfeited contributions may

be used by the Group under paragraph 26(2) of appendix 16 of the Hong Kong Listing Rules for the Group.During the accounting period in which an employee provides service the amount payable calculated according to

the defined contribution plan is recognised as a liability and included in the profit or loss for the current period or

the cost of relevant assets.SHANDONG CHENMING PAPER HOLDINGS LIMITED 101

30. Employee benefits (Cont’d)

(4) Termination benefits

When the Group provides termination benefits to employees employee benefits liabilities arising from termination

benefits are recognised in profit or loss for the current period at the earlier of the following dates: when the Group

cannot revoke unilaterally compensation for dismissal due to the cancellation of labour relationship plans and

employee redundant proposals; the Group recognises cost and expenses related to payment of compensation for

dismissal and restructuring.For the early retirement plans economic compensations before the actual retirement date were classified as

termination benefits. During the period from the date of cease of render of services to the actual retirement

date relevant wages and contribution to social insurance for the employees proposed to be paid are recognised

in profit or loss on a one-off basis. Economic compensation after the official retirement date such as normal

pension is accounted for as post-employment benefits.

(5) Other long-term employee benefits

Other long-term employee benefits provided by the Group to employees that meet the conditions for defined

contribution plans are accounted for in accordance with the relevant provisions relating to defined contribution

plans as stated above. If the conditions for defined benefit plans are met the benefits shall accounted for inaccordance with the relevant provisions relating to defined benefit plans but the “changes arising from theremeasurement of the net liabilities or net assets of the defined benefit plans” in the relevant employee benefits

shall be included in the current profit or loss or the relevant asset cost.31. Lease liabilities

(1) Initial measurement

At the commencement date of a lease term the Company shall initially measure the lease liabilities at the present

value of the lease payments that are not paid at that date.1) Lease payments

The lease payments mean the payments made by the Company to a lessor for the right to use the leased

assets during the lease term including: ① fixed payments and in-substance fixed payments less any lease

incentives receivable; ② variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate initially measured using

the index or rate as at the commencement date of the lease term; ③ the exercise price of a purchase option

if the Company is reasonably certain to exercise that option; ④ payments for terminating the lease if the

lease term reflects the Company exercising an option to terminate the lease; ⑤ amounts expected to be

payable by the Company under residual value guarantees.2) Discount rate

The present value of the lease payments shall be calculated using the Company’s incremental borrowing

rate.102 SHANDONG CHENMING PAPER HOLDINGS LIMITED

31. Lease liabilities (Cont’d)

(2) Subsequent measurement

After the commencement date of a lease term the Company shall subsequently measure the lease liabilities by: ①

increasing the carrying amount to reflect interest on the lease liabilities; ② reducing the carrying amount to reflect

the lease payments made; ③ remeasuring the carrying amount to reflect the change in the lease payments due to

any reassessment or lease modifications

The interest expense on the lease liabilities in each period during the lease term is calculated using a constant

periodic rate of interest and is recognised in profit or loss for the current period except for the interest expense to

be capitalised. The periodic rate of interest is the discount rate used by the Company in the initial measurement of

lease liabilities or the revised discount rate used by the Company when the Company has to remeasure the lease

liabilities based on a revised discount rate due to a change in the lease payments or lease modifications.

(3) Remeasurement

After the commencement date of a lease term the Company shall remeasure the lease liabilities using the

changes to the lease payments and the revised discount rate and adjust the carrying amount of the right-of-use

assets accordingly in the circumstances set out below. If the carrying amount of the right-of-use assets is reduced

to zero and there is a further reduction in the measurement of the lease liabilities the Company shall recognise

any remaining amount of the remeasurement in profit or loss: ① there is any change in the amount of in-substance

fixed payments; ② there is any change in the amounts expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee;

③ there is any change in the index or rate used to determine the lease payments; ④ there is any change in the

assessment results in the purchase option; and ⑤ there is any change in the assessment results or the exercise of

the extension option or termination option.32. Provisions

Obligations pertinent to the contingencies which satisfy the following conditions are recognised as provisions:

(1) the obligation is a current obligation borne by the Group;

(2) it is likely that an outflow of economic benefits from the Group will be resulted from the performance of the

obligation; and

(3) the amount of the obligation can be reliably measured.

The provisions shall be initially measured based on the best estimate for the expenditure required for the performance

of the current obligation after taking into account relevant risks uncertainties time value of money and other factors

pertinent to the contingencies. If the time value of money has significant influence the best estimates shall be

determined after discounting the relevant future cash outflow. The Group reviews the carrying amount of the provisions

on the balance sheet date and adjust the carrying amount to reflect the current best estimates.If all or some expenses incurred for settlement of recognised provisions 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 provisions.SHANDONG CHENMING PAPER HOLDINGS LIMITED 103

33. Share-based payments

(1) Category of share-based payment

The Group’s share-based payment is either equity-settled or cash-settled.

(2) Determination of fair value of equity instruments

For the existence of an active market for options and other equity instruments granted by the Group the fair value

is determined at the quoted price in the active market. For options and other equity instruments with no active

market option pricing model shall be used to estimate the fair value of the equity instruments. The following

factors shall be taken into account using option pricing models: A. the exercise price of the option; B. the validity

period of the option; C. the current market price of the share; D. the expected volatility of the share price; E.predicted dividend of the share; and F. risk-free rate of the option within the validity period.

(3) Recognition of vesting of equity instruments based on the best estimate

On each balance sheet date within the vesting period the estimated number of equity instruments expected

to vest is revised based on the best estimate made by the Group according to the latest available subsequent

information as to changes in the number of employees with exercisable rights. On the vesting date the final

estimated number of equity instruments expected to vest should equal the actual number of equity instruments

expected to vest.

(4) Accounting treatment of implementation modification and termination of share-based payment

Equity-settled share-based payment shall be measured at the fair value of the equity instruments granted to

employees. For those may immediately vest after the grant the fair value of equity instrument at the grant date

shall be included in the relevant costs or expenses and the capital reserve shall be increased accordingly. If the

right may not be exercised until the vesting period comes to an end or until the specified performance conditions

are met within the vesting period the services obtained in the current period shall based on the best estimate of

the number of vested equity instruments be included in the relevant costs or expenses and the capital reserve at

the fair value of the equity instrument at the grant date. After the vesting period relevant costs or expenses and

total shareholders’ equity which have been recognised will not be adjusted.Cash-settled share-based payment shall be measured in accordance with the fair value of liability calculated and

recognised based on the shares or other equity instruments undertaken by the Group. For those may immediately

vest after the grant the fair value of the liability undertaken by the Group shall on the date of the grant be

included in the relevant costs or expenses and the liabilities shall be increased accordingly. If the right may not be

exercised until the vesting period comes to an end or until the specified performance conditions are met within

the vesting period the services obtained in the current period shall based on the best estimate of the information

about the exercisable right be included in the relevant costs or expenses and the corresponding liabilities at the

fair value of the liability undertaken by the Group. For each of the balance sheet date and settlement date before

the settlement of the relevant liabilities fair value of the liabilities shall be remeasured and the changes will be

included in the profit or loss for the current period.104 SHANDONG CHENMING PAPER HOLDINGS LIMITED

(4) Accounting treatment of implementation modification and termination of share-based payment (Cont’d)

When there are changes in Group’s share-based payment plans if the modification increases the fair value of

the equity instruments granted corresponding recognition of service increase in accordance with the increase in

the fair value of the equity instruments; if the modification increases the number of equity instruments granted

the increase in fair value of the equity instruments is recognised as a corresponding increase in service achieved.Increase in the fair value of equity instruments refer to the difference between the fair values of the modified date.If the modification reduces the total fair value of shares paid or not conductive to the use of other employees

share-based payment plans to modify the terms and conditions of service it will continue to be accounted for in

the accounting treatment as if the change had not occurred unless the Group cancelled some or all of the equity

instruments granted.During the vesting period if the cancelled equity instruments (except for failure to meet the conditions of the non-

market vesting conditions) granted by the Group to cancel the equity instruments granted amount treated as

accelerated vesting of the remaining period should be recognised immediately in profit or loss while recognising

capital reserves. If employees or other parties can choose to meet non-vesting conditions but they are not met in

the vesting period the Group will treat them as cancelled equity instruments granted.34. Preference Shares Perpetual Bonds and other financial instruments

(1) Classification of financial liabilities and equity instruments

Financial instruments issued by the Group are classified into financial assets financial liabilities or equity

instruments on the basis of the substance of the contractual arrangements and the economic nature not only

its legal form together with the definition of financial asset financial liability and equity instruments on initial

recognition.

(2) Accounting treatment of Preference Shares Perpetual Bonds and other financial instruments

Financial instruments issued by the Group are initially recognised and measured in accordance with the financial

instrument standards; thereafter interest or dividends are accrued on each balance sheet date and accounted for

in accordance with relevant specific ASBEs i.e. to determine the accounting treatment for interest expenditure

or dividend distribution of the instrument based on the classification of the financial instrument issued. For

financial instruments classified as equity instruments their interest expenses or dividend distributions are treated

as profit distribution of the Group and their repurchases and cancellations are treated as changes in equity;

for financial instruments classified as financial liabilities their interest expenses or dividend distribution are in

principle accounted for with reference to borrowing costs and the gains or losses arising from their repurchases

or redemption are included in the profit or loss for the current period.For the transaction costs such as fees and commissions incurred by the Group for issuing financial instruments if

such financial instruments are classified as debt instruments and measured at amortised cost they are included

in the initial measured amount of the instruments issued; if such financial instruments are classified as equity

instruments they are deducted from equity.SHANDONG CHENMING PAPER HOLDINGS LIMITED 105

35. Revenue

(1) General principles

The Group recognises revenue when it satisfies a performance obligation in the contract i.e. when the customer

obtains control of the relevant goods or services.Where a contract has two or more performance obligations the Group allocates the transaction price to each

performance obligation based on the percentage of respective unit price of goods or services guaranteed by

each performance obligation and recognises as revenue based on the transaction price that is allocated to each

performance obligation.If one of the following conditions is fulfilled the Group performs its performance obligation within a certain period;

otherwise it performs its performance obligation at a point of time:

① when the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits provided by the Group when the

Group performs its obligations under the contract;

② when the customer is able to control the goods in progress in the course of performance by the Group

under the contract;

③ when the goods produced by the Group under the contract are irreplaceable and the Group has the right to

payment for performance completed to date during the whole contract term.For performance obligations performed within a certain period the Group recognises revenue by measuring

the progress towards complete of that performance obligation within that certain period. When the progress

of performance cannot be reasonably determined if the costs incurred by the Group are expected to be

compensated the revenue shall be recognised at the amount of costs incurred until the progress of performance

can be reasonably determined.For performance obligation performed at a point of time the Group recognises revenue at the point of time at

which the customer obtains control of relevant goods or services. To determine whether a customer has obtained

control of goods or services the Group considers the following indications:

① The Group has the current right to receive payment for the goods which is when the customer has the

current payment obligations for the goods.② The Group has transferred the legal title of the goods to the customer which is when the client possesses

the legal title of the goods.③ The Group has transferred the physical possession of goods to the customer which is when the customer

obtains physical possession of the goods.④ The Group has transferred all of the substantial risks and rewards of ownership of the goods to the

customer which is when the customer obtain all of the substantial risks and rewards of ownership of the

goods to the customer.⑤ The customer has accepted the goods.⑥ Other information indicates that the customer has obtained control of the goods.106 SHANDONG CHENMING PAPER HOLDINGS LIMITED

35. Revenue (Cont’d)

(1) General principles (Cont’d)

The Group’s right to consideration in exchange for goods or services that the Group has transferred to customers

(and such right depends on factors other than passage of time) is accounted for as contract assets and contract

assets are subject to impairment based on ECLs. The Group’s unconditional right to receive consideration from

customers (only depends on passage of time) is accounted for as accounts receivable. The Group’s obligation to

transfer goods or services to customers for which the Group has received or should receive consideration from

customers is accounted for as contract liabilities.Contract assets and contract liabilities under the same contract are presented on a net basis. Where the net

amount has a debit balance it is presented in “contract assets” or “other non-current assets” according to its

liquidity. Where the net amount has a credit balance it is presented in “contract liabilities” or “other non-currentliabilities” according to its liquidity.

(2) Specific methods

Specific method for revenue recognition of machine-made paper business of the Group: in terms of domestic

sales of machine-made paper revenue is recognised when goods are delivered to the customers and such

deliveries are confirmed; while in terms of overseas sales of machine-made paper revenue is recognised on the

day when goods are loaded on board and declared.Specific method for recognition of finance lease income of the Group: according to the repayment schedule the

income is recognised by instalments according to the effective interest rate.Specific method for recognition of revenue from real estate of the Group: revenue is recognised by amortising the

rental income on a straight-line basis over the lease term.36. Government grants

A government grant is recognised when there is reasonable assurance that the grant will be received and that the Group

will comply with the conditions attaching to the grant.If a government grant is in the form of a transfer of a monetary asset it is measured at the amount received or

receivable. If a government grant is in the form of a transfer of non-monetary asset it is measured at fair value; if the fair

value cannot be obtained in a reliable way it is measured at the nominal amount of RMB1.Government grants obtained for acquisition or construction of long-term assets or other forms of long-term asset

formation are classified as government grants related to assets while the remaining government grants are classified as

government grants related to revenue.Regarding the government grant not clearly defined in the official documents and can form long-term assets the part

of government grant which can be referred to the value of the assets is classified as government grant related to assets

and the remaining part is government grant related to revenue. For the government grant that is difficult to distinguish

the entire government grant is classified as government grant related to revenue.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 in a reasonable and systematic manner. For a government grant related to revenue if

the grant is a compensation for related costs expenses or losses incurred the grant shall be recognised in profit or loss

for the current period; if the grant is a compensation for related costs 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 expenses or losses are recognised. A government grant measured at nominal amount is directly included

in profit or loss for the current period. The Group adopts a consistent approach to the same or similar government

grants.SHANDONG CHENMING PAPER HOLDINGS LIMITED 107

36. Government grants (Cont’d)

A government grant related to daily activities is recognised in other gains relying on the essence of economic business;

otherwise recognised in non-operating income or non-operating expenses.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; otherwise the repayment shall be recognised immediately in profit or loss for the current period.For the policy preferential interest subsidy if it is provided by the financial authority through banks it is recognised

at the amount of borrowings actually received and the borrowings costs are calculated based on the principal of the

borrowings and the policy preferential interest rate; if it is provided by the financial authority directly the corresponding

interest will be used to offset the relevant borrowing expenses.37. Deferred income tax assets/deferred income tax liabilities

Income tax comprises current income tax expense and deferred income tax expense which are included in profit or

loss for the current period as income tax expenses except for deferred tax related to transactions or events that are

directly recognised in owners’ equity which are recognised in owners’ equity and deferred tax arising from a business

combination which is adjusted against the carrying amount of goodwill.Temporary differences arising from the difference between the carrying amount of an asset or liability and its tax base

at the balance sheet date of the Group shall be recognised as deferred income tax using the balance sheet liability

method.All the taxable temporary differences are recognised as deferred income tax liabilities except for those incurred in the

following transactions:

(1) 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) when the transaction

occurs;

(2) The taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries associates and joint ventures

and the Group 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.The Group recognises a deferred income tax asset for the carry forward of deductible temporary differences 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 temporary differences deductible losses and tax credits can be utilised except for those

incurred in the following transactions:

(1) The transaction is neither a business combination nor affects accounting profit or taxable profit (or deductible loss)

when the transaction occurs;

(2) The deductible temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries associates and joint ventures

the corresponding deferred income tax asset is recognised when both of the following conditions are satisfied: it is

probable that the temporary difference will reverse in the foreseeable future and it is probable that taxable profits

will be available in the future against which the temporary difference can be utilised.108 SHANDONG CHENMING PAPER HOLDINGS LIMITED

37. Deferred income tax assets/deferred income tax liabilities (Cont’d)

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 and their tax effect is

reflected accordingly.At the balance sheet date the Group reviews 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 tax asset to be utilised

the carrying amount of the deferred tax asset is reduced. Any such reduction in amount is reversed when it becomes

probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available.38. Lease

(1) Identification of leases

On the beginning date of the contract the Group (as a lessee or lessor) assesses whether the customer in

the contract has the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from use of the identified asset

throughout the period of use and has the right to direct the use of the identified asset throughout the period of

use. If a contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset and multiple identified assets for a

period of time in exchange for consideration the Group identifies such contract is or contains a lease.

(2) The Group as lessee

On the beginning date of the lease the Group recognises right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for all leases

except for short-term lease and low-value asset lease with simplified approach.The accounting policy for right-of-use assets is set out in Note V. 25.The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the beginning

date of the lease using the interest rate implicit in the lease or the incremental borrowing rate. Lease payments

include fixed payments and in-substance fixed payments less any lease incentives receivable; variable lease

payments that are based on an index or a rate; the exercise price of a purchase option if the lessee is reasonably

certain to exercise that option; payments for terminating the lease if the lease term reflects the lessee exercising

that option of terminating; and amounts expected to be payable by the lessee under residual value guarantees.Subsequently the interest expense on the lease liability for each period during the lease term is calculated using a

constant periodic rate of interest and is recognised in profit or loss for the current period. Variable lease payments

not included in the measurement of lease liabilities are charged to profit or loss in the period in which they actually

arise. The Group calculates the interest expense of the lease liability for each period of the lease term based on

the fixed periodic interest rate and is included in the current profit and loss. The variable lease payments that are

not included in the measurement of the lease liability are recognised in profit or loss when incurred.Short-term lease

Short-term leases refer to leases with a lease term of less than 12 months from the commencement date except

for those with a purchase option.Lease payments on short-term leases are recognised in the cost of related assets or current profit or loss on a

straight-line basis over the lease term.SHANDONG CHENMING PAPER HOLDINGS LIMITED 109

(2) The Group as lessee (Cont’d)

Short-term lease (Cont’d)

For short-term leases the Group chooses to adopt the above simplified approach for the following types of assets

that meet the conditions of short-term lease according to the classification of leased assets.· Low-value machinery and equipment

· Transportation vehicles

Low-value asset lease

A low-value asset lease is a lease that the value of a single leased asset is below RMB2000000 when it is a new

asset.For a low-value asset lease the Group chooses the above simplified approach based on the specific

circumstances of each lease.Lease payments on low-value asset leases are recognised on a straight-line basis over the lease term and either

included in the cost of the related asset or charged to profit or loss for the current period.

(3) The Group as lessor

When the Group is a lessor a lease is classified as a finance lease whenever the terms of the lease transfer

substantially all the risks and rewards of asset ownership to the lessee. All leases other than financial leases are

classified as operating leases.Operating lease

Lease payments under operating leases are recognised in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the lease term.Initial direct costs incurred in relation to operating leases are capitalised and amortised over the lease term on the

same basis as rental income and recognised in profit or loss for the current period. The variable lease payments

obtained in relation to operating leases that are not included in the lease payments are recognised in profit or loss

in the period in which they actually incurred.

(4) Sublease

When the Group is an intermediate lessor the sublease is classified with reference to the right-of-use assets

arising from the head lease. If the head lease is a short-term lease for which the Group adopts a simplified

approach then the Group classifies the sublease as an operating lease.110 SHANDONG CHENMING PAPER HOLDINGS LIMITED

(5) Sale and leaseback

The lessee and the lessor shall assess and determine whether the transfer of assets in a sale and leaseback

transaction is a sale in accordance with the requirements of the Accounting Standard for Business Enterprises No.14 – Revenue.Where asset transfer under the sale and leaseback transactions is a sale the lessee shall measure the right-

of-use assets created by the sale and leaseback based on the portion of carrying amount of the original assets

related to right of use obtained upon leaseback and only recognise relevant profit or loss for the right transferred

to the lessor. The lessor shall account for the purchase of assets in accordance with other applicable ASBEs and

account for the lease of assets in accordance with this standard.Where asset transfer under the sale and leaseback transactions is not a sale the lessee shall continue to

recognise the transferred assets while recognising a financial liability equal to the transfer income and account

for such liability according to the Accounting Standard for Business Enterprises No. 22 – Recognition and

Measurement of Financial Instruments; or not to recognise the transferred assets but recognise a financial asset

equal to the transfer income and account for such asset according to the Accounting Standard for Business

Enterprises No. 22 – Recognition and Measurement of Financial Instruments.39. Changes in significant accounting policies and accounting estimates

40. Others

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.The Group measures the relevant assets or liabilities at fair value assuming that the orderly transaction of selling the

assets or transferring the liabilities is conducted in the main market of the relevant assets or liabilities; in the absence of

the main market the Group assumes that the transaction is conducted in the most advantageous market for the relevant

asset or liability. The main (or the most advantageous) market must be accessible to by the Group on the measurement

date. The Group uses assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability assuming that

market participants act in their economic best interest.For financial assets or financial liabilities exist in an active market fair value is determined based on the quoted price

in such market. While financial instruments do not exist in an active market the fair value is determined using valuation

techniques.Fair value measurement for a non-financial asset takes into account a market participant’s ability to generate economic

benefits by using the asset in its best use or by selling it to another market participant that would use the asset in its

best use.The Group uses valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data are

available to measure fair value and gives priority to relevant observable inputs. Unobservable inputs are used only when

relevant observable inputs are not accessible or the access to which is impracticable.All assets and liabilities measured at fair value or disclosed in the financial statements are categorised within the fair

value hierarchy described as follows based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement

as a whole: Level 1 inputs are available quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities at

the measurement date; Level 2 inputs are inputs other than Level 1 inputs that are observable for the asset or liability

either directly or indirectly; Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.For assets and liabilities that are recognised in the financial statements at fair value on a recurring basis the Group re-

assess them at each balance sheet date to determine whether transfers have occurred between levels in the hierarchy.112 SHANDONG CHENMING PAPER HOLDINGS LIMITED

Note: The Group assessed the recoverable amount of goodwill and determined that the goodwill related to the Group’s panel and plastic

business was not impaired. With the category of the principal activities as the basis for determining the reporting segments the

Group regards Shandong Chenming Panels Co. Ltd. and Kunshan Tuoan Plastic Products Co. Ltd. as two separate asset groups.Their recoverable amount is determined based on the present value of the estimated future cash flows. Future cash flows are

determined based on the financial budget for 2021 to 2025 as approved by the management and adopt 7.28% as the discount rate

which is the interest rate of the 5-year bonds issued by the Company in 2018. The cash flows for more than 5 years are calculated

based on the growth rate of 5%. Other key assumptions used in estimating future cash flows include the estimated sales and gross

profit based on the performance of such asset group in the past and the expectation to market development by the management.The management believes that any reasonable change in the above assumptions will not result in the total book value of the

asset group Shandong Chenming Panels Co. Ltd. and the asset group Kunshan Tuoan Plastic Products Co. Ltd. exceeding its

recoverable amount.132 SHANDONG CHENMING PAPER HOLDINGS LIMITED

obtain commitments from major financial institutions to provide sufficient standby funds to meet short-term and

long-term funding needs.Operating cash was generated from capital and bank and other borrowings. As of 30 June 2021 the Group’s

Interest rate risk (Cont’d)

The Group’s interest rate risk arises from long-term interest-bearing liabilities including long-term borrowing and

bonds payable. Financial liabilities issued at floating rate expose the Group to cash flow interest rate risk. Financial

liabilities issued at fixed rate expose the Group to fair value interest rate risk. The Group determines the relative

proportions of its fixed rate and floating rate contracts depending on the prevailing market conditions and to

maintain an appropriate combination of financial instruments at fixed rate and floating rate through regular reviews

and monitors.The Group’s finance department continuously monitors the interest rate position of the Group. At present the

Group did not enter into any interest rate hedging arrangements. However the management is responsible to

monitor the risks of interest rate and consider to hedge significant interest risk if necessary. Increase in interest

rates will increase the cost of new borrowing and the interest expenses with respect to the Group’s outstanding

floating rate interest-bearing borrowings and therefore could have a material adverse effect on the Group’s

financial result. The management will make adjustments with reference to the latest market conditions. These

adjustments may include enter into interest swap agreement to mitigate its exposure to the interest rate risk.Interest bearing financial instrument held by the Group are as follows (in ten thousand RMB):

The financial instruments held by the Group at the reporting date expose the Group to fair value interest rate risk.This sensitivity analysis as above has been determined assuming that the change in interest rates had occurred at

the reporting date and arisen from the recalculation of the above financial instrument issued at new interest rates.The non-derivative tools issued at floating interest rate held by the Group at the reporting date expose the Group

to cash flow interest rate risk. The effect to the net profit and shareholder’s equity illustrated in the sensitivity

analysis as above is arisen from the effect to the annual estimate amount of interest expenses or revenue at the

floating interest rate. The analysis is performed on the same basis for prior year.SHANDONG CHENMING PAPER HOLDINGS LIMITED 175

In October 2005 the Company and Hong Kong Arjowiggins HKK2 Limited (“HKK2”) jointly established ArjoWiggins

Chenming Specialty Paper Co. Ltd. in Shouguang Shandong Province which is engaged in the production of

special paper decoration paper and draft paper. However such company experienced poor management due to

financial crisis. Hence such company was forced to dissolve in October 2008.In October 2012 HKK2 submitted for arbitration application to Hong Kong International Arbitration Centre Hong

Kong Special Administration of PRC on the ground of default of the joint venture agreement by the Company.In November 2015 Hong Kong International Arbitration Centre announced arbitration result stating that the

Company should compensate HKK2 with economic loss of RMB167 million arbitration fee of HK$3.30 million

and legal fee of USD3.54 million together with interest thereon calculated at 8% per annum. In October 2016 the

Company received a statutory demand stating that if the Company fails to perform the arbitration results within 21

days the liquidation application on H shares of the Company will be submitted. Subsequently HKK2 submitted H

shares liquidation application to the arbitration centre.In November 2016 the Company submitted application to the Court of First Instance of the High Court of theHKSAR and received an injunction stating that “the applicant is prohibited from applying for liquidation on theCompany”.In February 2017 HKK2 submitted an appeal to the court. In June 2017 the court dismissed the injunction

received by the Group. In the same month the Group received the liquidation application submitted by the

defendant to the High Court of Hong Kong which alleged that the Group should compensate the defendant with

economic loss of RMB167 million legal fee of USD3.54 million and arbitration fee of HK$3.30 million together

with interest thereon due to failure in compliance of the arbitration results.In 2017 the Group made provision of RMB325259082.28 for the pending litigation.Relevant appeal hearing of the Group on 15 July 2017 was completed in the Hong Kong High Court Appeal Court

on the morning of 11 May 2018. At the end of the hearing the court had instructed that another sentence be

adjudicated.On 5 August 2020 the Court of Appeal of the High Court of Hong Kong made a judgment and rejected our

Company’s appeal request. The Company is seeking ways to re-appeal to protect the legal rights and interests of

the Company and investors. However as of 30 June 2021 the estimated loss was still uncertain. Therefore the

estimated liability must still be listed in the balance sheet.
