10 SHANDONG CHENMING PAPER HOLDINGS LIMITEDIII Chairman’s Report
Dear shareholders
In 2021 the efficient control of the Chinese government over the COVID-19 epidemic created a stable internal environment for the
Chinese economy while for the whole world the recurring waves of the COVID-19 epidemic still hindered the global economic
recovery with conflicts such as supply chain crises and energy shortages also being magnified during the epidemic. During the
2021 financial year the sharp rise in commodity prices and the significant increase in energy costs brought new challenges to
the development of the manufacturing industry in China and the paper industry was no exception. Despite all challenges the
Company still achieved steady growth in its results in 2021 manifesting powerful development resilience.Across the “severe winter” and moving forward tenaciously
In 2021 in the face of complex and ever-changing internal and external situations the Company worked together to face up to the
new problems solve new difficulties and adapt to the new normal. Under the premise of doing a good job in epidemic prevention
and control the Company strictly controlled product quality expanded sales channels tapped potential market demand reduced
operating costs optimised industrial layout and improved comprehensive operational efficiency. With the joint efforts of all cadres
and employees in 2021 the Company completed the production of machine-made paper of 5.50 million tonnes and achieved
sales of 5.45 million tonnes. The Company achieved revenue of RMB33020 million representing a year-on-year increase of
7.43%. Total profit and net profit attributable to equity holders of the Company were RMB2306 million and RMB2066 million
respectively up by 6.16% and 20.65% year on year. The Company has been successively honoured over 20 titles above the
provincial level including the Top 500 Chinese Enterprises and its paper and paper board production ranks among the top ten in
the world continuously maintaining its sound and steady development.Constructing raw material safety net with the integration of pulp and paper
The ever-changing international trade relationship and stricter environmental protection requirements have pushed the importance
of supply chain stability to a new height and also showed the urgency of an optimised raw material structure for the peers in
the industry. As a result the Company has taken the lead in the construction of a “pulp-paper integration” base in Zhanjiang
Chenming as a pilot project and the “pulp-paper integration strategy” is further implemented successively in Shouguang
Huanggang and other places. Having built machine-made paper capacity of approximately 6.8 million tonnes and self-made wood
pulp capacity of approximately 4.3 million tonnes as at the end of 2021 the Company continuously has a leading pulp-paper
integration level in the industry which builds a safety barrier of raw materials supply for our future sustainable development.
2021 ANNUAL REPORT 11III Chairman’s Report
Seizing the opportunity arising from “dual carbon” with green vitality
In 2021 the PRC government put forward the “dual carbon” goal of “striving to hit peak carbon emissions before 2030 andachieve carbon neutrality before 2060”. Under this background it is richer and more profound to accelerate the pace of
carbon reduction promote green development lead technological innovation for China’s manufacturing industry and enhance
international competitiveness. The Company actively participates in energy structure transformation and low-carbon production.In addition to the existing biomass power generation projects the Company also introduces new photovoltaic power generation
projects and carbon sink development gaining new momentum for green development with new vitality into clean production and
resource conservation.Under the pandemic China has attracted worldwide attention for its economic and social stability. With the popularisation of
vaccines and the gradual improvement of pandemic prevention systems in various countries it is expected that the recovery of
the global economy consumption and export will accelerate which will benefit the development of the paper making industry.The implementation of environmental protection policies such as “dual carbon” and “dual control” will also accelerate resources
optimisation and integration and help the industry pattern continuously improve.Not afraid of challenges we have great expectation for the future. Under the new pattern of international and domestic double
circulation the Company will deepen its principal business and gather momentum make good use of international and domestic
markets comprehensively improve the management level and operation quality of the Company improve the supply chain
construction enhance market recognition strive to open a new chapter of high-quality development for the Company and build
an international reputation for China’s paper making industry and even China’s manufacturing industry.On behalf of the board of directors I would like to take this opportunity to express my heartfelt gratitude to all colleagues
partners clients and investors for their understanding supporting and acknowledgement of our enterprise in the previous year.Chen Hongguo

12 SHANDONG CHENMING PAPER HOLDINGS LIMITEDIV Management Discussion and Analysis
I. Industry Situation of the Company during the Reporting Period
The industry in which the Company operates is paper making and paper product industry.The paper industry is one of the basic industries of the national economy that has the typical characteristics of large-scale
industrial production such as continuous and efficient operation and significant scale benefits which is closely related
to social and economic development and people’s lives. Since the reform and opening up with the sustained and rapid
development of the national economy China‘s paper making industry has gradually begun to transform from extensive
growth to intensive growth. At the same time driven by the upgrade of social demand the increase of environmental
protection policies the continuous progress of technology and the change of resource supply the reduction of low-end
production capacity has been accelerated and the structure of the paper industry has been continuously optimised.During the reporting period the “waste ban” was fully implemented which further escalated the importance of the
transformation of the raw material structure together with the “plastic restriction order” that spawned the demand for
“replacement of plastic with paper” broadening the prospects for the white cardboard market. The successively issued
“dual carbon” and “dual control” policies had put forward higher requirements for the environmental protection level of the
manufacturing industry and carbon reduction became an important issue for the sustainable development of enterprises.The global spread of mutant strains had pressed the slowdown button for the operation of the supply chain and the prices
of bulk commodities chemical raw materials and basic energy had risen sharply bringing new challenges to the supply
chain management and cost management capabilities of enterprises.As an overview of the paper making industry in 2021 despite the difficulties such as the tightening upstream supply chain
and rising prices of various raw materials the paper making industry still achieved rapid development. According to the data
from the National Bureau of Statistics from January to December 2021 the national output of machine-made paper and
cardboard reached 135.839 million tonnes representing a year-on-year increase of 8.833 million tonnes or 6.8% breaking
the 130 million tonnes mark for the first time and hitting a record high; among the industrial enterprises above designated
size enterprises in the paper making and paper product industry realised total profit of RMB88.48 billion representing
a year-on-year increase of 6.9% which was better than that of the prior year in general. As an overview by stage from
January to mid-April 2021 the prices of wood pulp-based paper products such as white cardboard and cultural paper
showed an upward trend; from mid-to-late April to the end of September the price of wood pulp-based paper products
signalled a downward trend until bottoming out in October delineating an “N”-shaped route.

2021 ANNUAL REPORT 19IV Management Discussion and Analysis
IV. Analysis of principal operations
1. Overview
In 2021 under the dual impacts of repeated COVID-19 outbreaks and global macroeconomic shocks the paper
making industry also staged a round of “cyclical” fluctuations and the market price of paper products showed
an “N”-shaped trend of “sharp rise – downward oscillation – bottoming out”. In terms of upstream raw materials
the pandemic disrupted the rhythm of the supply chain operations. The prices of bulk commodities such as coal
and chemicals rose sharply in 2021 and shipping costs increased significantly bringing greater cost pressure on
companies. In terms of the market the market demand for paper products undergone a phased adjustment after
experiencing rapid growth in the first half of the year and bottomed out in the fourth quarter. Nevertheless the paper
making industry in China maintained a steady development in 2021.During the reporting period on the premise of ensuring pandemic prevention and control work the Company
strengthened safety production had strict control over product quality orderly tapped the markets consolidated
scientific research strength optimised resource deployment improved its supply chain system enhanced cost
management and improved regional linkage so that the enterprise synergy effects were further improved and the
comprehensive capability was continuously reinforced. Although the corporate operation difficulty intensified due
to the impact of upstream commodity supply fluctuation and downstream market demand fluctuation for paper
products the Company still presented a comparatively steady growth momentum through the implementation of the
above measures to minimise the adverse effects caused by external fluctuation.

XI. Outlook on the future development of the Company
(i) Overview and trend of the industry
The paper making industry is closely related to national economic security and the consumption level of paper and
paper board is an important indicator to measure the economy and civilisation of a country. Since the reform and
opening up with the sustained and rapid development of the national economy China’s paper making industry
has gradually begun to transform from extensive growth to intensive growth. In general China’s industrial economy
continuously recovered steadily in 2021 and the production and operation of paper making enterprises were
smoothly. During the reporting period the “waste ban” was fully implemented which further escalated the importance
of the transformation of the raw material structure. The “plastic restriction order” that spawned the demand for
“replacement of plastic with paper” broadened the prospects for the white cardboard market has a broader prospect.The successively issued “dual carbon” and “dual control” policies had put forward higher requirements for the
environmental protection level of the manufacturing industry and carbon reduction became an important issue for
the sustainable development of manufacturing enterprises. With the spread of overseas pandemic outbreaks and
the sporadic and repeated local pandemic outbreaks the prices of commodities chemical raw materials and basic
energies rose sharply and the supply chain management and cost management capabilities of enterprises were
facing new challenges. The price of paper products in the downstream market was further consolidated along the
N-shaped trend of “rising-falling-bottoming out”.According to the national strategy of “dual circulation” and the goal that by 2035 China per capita GDP will reach the
level of moderately developed countries as well as the experience of developed countries the future paper market
demand in China will still increase greatly and the industry still has a large scope for development. In the context
of the accelerated restructuring of the international economic and political landscape the only way to the pursuit
of sustainable development is to insist on promoting the high-quality development of the industry in an all-round
way regain the initiative turn difficulties and challenges into opportunities and further enhance the comprehensive
competitiveness of China’s paper making industry. Urgent actions are needed to prevent global warming resource
barriers are yet to be broken supply chain security is in urgent need and people‘s yearning for a better life should be
satisfied. At this particular moment constant energy conservation and emission reduction optimising raw material
structure securing supply chain security and improving product and service quality will become the focus and new
trends in the sustainable development in the industry. Driven by the policy focusing on supply-side structural reform
low-end backward production capacity will be eliminated in an accelerated way and the industry structure is expected
to continue its optimisation and the major enterprises will have a greater say in the market and the returns on high-
quality industrial development in the long run.

2021 ANNUAL REPORT 39IV Management Discussion and Analysis
XI. Outlook on the future development of the Company (Continued)
(iv) Future capital requirements and source of funds
Future capital requirements of the Company will mainly focus on: the continuous investment in existing production
facilities due to technology upgrade or production expansion; and capital requirement for business expansion and
daily operation. The phase II whole industry chain project of Huanggang Chenming planned and constructed by
the Company will be partly funded by self-owned funds of the Company as well as government guide funds policy
support funds and syndicated loans.While focusing on the development of its main business of pulp and paper making and improving its operating
performance the Company will expand its financing channels and optimise financing structure through well planned
long and short-term bond issue introduction of third-party strategic investors refinancing and other means thus
providing stable financial support for the operation and development of the Company.(v) Risk factors likely to be faced and 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 the 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. All the above industrial policies and related policy adjustments will have
an impact on the Company’s operation and development.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 the Company will comprehensively
optimise industrial structure and regional layout establish coordinated efficient industry system and respond

(v) Risk factors likely to be faced and measures to be taken (Continued)
2. Environmental protection risk
In recent years policies such as the Announcement on Adjusting the Catalogue of Prohibited Commodities
in Processing Trade The 14th Five-Year (2021-2025) Plan for National Economic and Social Development of
the People’s Republic of China and the Outline of Long-term Goals for 2035 the Opinions on Accelerating the
High-Quality Development of the Manufacturing Services Industry and the Guiding Opinions on Accelerating
the Establishment and Improvement of a Green Low-Carbon and Cyclical Economic System have been issued
one after another with increasingly stringent environmental protection requirements. Such higher national
environmental protection standards will further increase the investment in pollution control by enterprises in the
industry and increase the operating costs of the Company in the short term.The Company always adheres to the development idea of “placing green development and environmentalprotection as its priority” and conducts clean 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”.
3. Risk of price fluctuation of raw materials
Wood pulp and wood clips are the major raw materials of the industry. If the prices of wood pulp and wood
chips fluctuate sharply in the future they will bring upward pressure on the production costs of enterprises
which will have a certain impact on the normal production and operation of enterprises in the industry.The Company strives to implement the development strategy of pulp and paper integration. At present
its production capacity of wood pulp has reached 4.3 million tonnes and it has cultivated a strong self-
sufficiency of wood pulp. At the same time it has established a more comprehensive supply chain management
mechanism practiced source procurement carried out long-term cooperation closely followed the price trends
of the raw materials market and strived to improve its forecasting ability in order to minimise the impact of
fluctuations in raw material prices on the Company.

XI. Outlook on the future development of the Company (Continued)
(v) Risk factors likely to be faced and measures to be taken (Continued)
4. Risk of intensifying market competition
As a strategic and fundamental industry closely related to the national economy the papermaking industry
has made significant progress along with the steady development of the Chinese economy. Although the
papermaking industry has accelerated the elimination of outdated production capacity after several rounds
of environmental protection policies the industry structure has been optimised. However there remains the
phenomena of a large number of enterprises excess and scattered production capacity a large number of mid
– and low-end products and product homogeneity. The market competition is fierce.The Company will focus on improving product quality and supporting services improve process technology
strengthen research and development capabilities and enhance scientific and technological added value. Being
market-oriented it will produce products that meet market demand and enhance core competitiveness with a
view to ensuring a stable and sustainable improvement in its operating results.
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 financial leasing business
with strong risk resistance and low risk of default. At present Chenming Leasing continues to implement the
business strategy of continuous reduction with a reduction of the scale of the financial leasing business by
RMB2.2 billion in 2021 which effectively put risk exposures under control.

III. Key audit matters
Key audit matters are those matters that in our professional judgment were of most significance in our audit of the
financial statements for the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial
statements as a whole and in forming our opinion thereon we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.(I) Net realisable value of inventories
For detailed disclosures of relevant information please see note V. 11 and note VII. 7 of the financial statements.
1. Details
The inventory balance of Chenming Paper for the year 2021 was RMB5312234600 of which the
inventory balance related to machine-made paper was RMB3792928700 with a provision for impairment
of RMB29602700 and a carrying value of RMB3763326100. As at the balance sheet date inventories
are measured at the lower of cost or net realisable value and provision for impairment of inventories is
made on the basis of the excess of the cost of an individual inventory over its net realisable value. The
management determines the estimated selling price based on historical selling prices contracted selling
prices etc. taking into account the purpose for which the inventories are held and the net realisable value
of inventories is determined by deducting the estimated costs to be incurred to completion estimated
selling expenses and related taxes from the estimated selling price.We have identified net realisable value of inventories as a key audit matter due to the significant amount
of inventories and the significant management judgement involved in determining the net realisable value

(II) Recognition of revenue from machine-made paper
For detailed disclosures of relevant information please see note V. 26 and note VII. 47 of the financial
statements.
1. Details
For the year 2021 Chenming Paper achieved operating revenue of RMB33019812300 of which
RMB29071777700 was from machine-made paper accounting for 88.04% of the operating revenue.For domestic machine-made paper sales business Chenming Paper recognised the revenue after the
goods were delivered and signed by the customer for confirmation; for foreign machine-made paper sales
business Chenming Paper recognised the revenue after the goods were loaded on board and declared.As revenue is one of the key performance indicators of Chenming Paper and the revenue from the sales
of machine-made paper accounts for a relatively huge proportion of the total revenue due to its enormous
sales volume there may be potential misstatement in relation to whether revenue recognition is accounted
for in the appropriate period of the financial statements which has a significant impact on the financial
statements. Therefore we have identified recognition of revenue from machine-made paper as a key audit
matter.
2. Application for auditing
We have carried out the following audit procedures for the recognition of revenue from machine-made
paper:
(1) we identified and evaluated and tested the effectiveness of the design and operation of key internal
controls conducted by the management related to revenue recognition;
(2) we conducted sampling inspections on sales contracts identified contract terms and conditions
related to the transfer of control of the goods assessed whether the timing of recognition of sales
revenue from Chenming Paper meets the requirements of the Accounting Standards for Business
Enterprises;
(3) we analysed revenue and gross profit by taking into account product types and identified whether
the abnormal fluctuations in the amount of revenue are reasonable in the current period;
(4) we inspected the occurrence of on-the-spot recognition of sales at the end of the inspection period
and inspected goods returns after the inspection period to determine the accuracy of revenue
recognition during the period;
(5) we collected samples from sales revenue recorded around the balance sheet date for cut-off
tests; verified delivery orders and other supporting documents to assess whether sales revenue is
recorded in the appropriate accounting period; and
(6) we sought external confirmations for clients with larger sales during the period.

IV. Other information
The management of Chenming Paper is responsible for other information. Other information includes the information
covered in the 2021 annual report of Chenming Paper but does not include the financial statements and our audit
report.Our audit opinions published in the financial statements do not cover other information and we do not publish any
form of assurance conclusion on other information.In conjunction with our audit of the financial statements our responsibility is to read other information during which
we consider whether there is significant inconsistency or other material misstatement of other information with the
financial statements or what we have learned during the audit.Based on the work we have performed if we determine that there is a material misstatement of other information we
should report that fact. In this regard we have nothing to report.V. Management and management responsibility for financial statements
The management of Chenming Paper is responsible for the preparation of financial statements in accordance with the
requirements of the Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises to enable them to achieve fair reflection and to
achieve the design implementation and maintenance of necessary internal controls so that the financial statements
are free of material misstatements due to fraud or errors.In the preparation of the financial statements the management is responsible for assessing the continuing operations
capabilities of Chenming Paper disclosing issues related to going concern (if applicable) and applying the going
concern assumption unless the management plans to liquidate Chenming Paper terminate operations or have no
other realistic options.The management is responsible for supervising the financial reporting process of Chenming Paper.VI. Auditor’s responsibility for auditing financial statements
Our objective is to obtain reasonable assurance as to whether the entire financial statements are free from material
misstatement due to fraud or errors and to issue an audit report containing audit opinions. Reasonable assurance is
a high level of assurance but it does not guarantee that an audit performed in accordance with auditing standards
can always discover a major misstatement when it exists. Misstatements may be caused by fraud or errors and are
generally considered to be material if it is reasonably expected that misstatements individually or in aggregate may
affect the economic decision made by users of financial statements based on the financial statements.In the process of conducting audit work in accordance with auditing standards we use professional judgment and
maintain professional suspicion. At the same time we also perform the following tasks:
(1) To identify and assess risks of material misstatement of financial statements due to fraud or errors design
and implement audit procedures to address these risks and obtain adequate and appropriate audit evidence
together perform as a basis for issuing audit opinions. Since fraud may involve collusion falsification intentional
omission misrepresentation or override of internal controls the risk of failing to detect a material misstatement
due to fraud is higher than the risk of failing to detect a material misstatement due to an error.
(2) To understand audit-related internal controls to design appropriate audit procedures but not for the purpose of
expressing an opinion as to the effectiveness of internal control.
2021 ANNUAL REPORT 149XII Financial Report
(3) To evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies adopted by the management and the reasonableness of
accounting estimates and related disclosures.
(4) To conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the continuing operation assumption. At the same
time according to the audit evidence obtained it may lead to conclusions as to whether there are significant
uncertainties in matters or circumstances that have significant doubts about the ability of Chenming Paper to
continue its operations. If we conclude that there are significant uncertainties the auditing standards require
us to request the users of the report to pay attention to the relevant disclosures in the financial statements in
the audit report; if the disclosure is not sufficient we should publish modified audit report. Our conclusions are
based on the information available as of the date of the audit report.
(5) Evaluate the overall presentation structure and content of the financial statements and evaluate whether the
financial statements fairly reflect the relevant transactions and matters.
(6) To obtain sufficient and appropriate audit evidence on the financial information of entities or business activities
in Chenming Paper to express opinions on the financial statements. We are responsible for guiding supervising
and executing group audits and take full responsibility for the audit opinion.We communicate with the management on planned audit scope time arrangements and major audit findings
including communication of the internal control deficiencies that we identified during the audit.We also provide statements to the management on compliance with ethical requirements related to independence
and communicate with the management on all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be considered to
affect our independence as well as related preventive measures (if applicable).From the matters we communicated with the management we determine which matters are most important for the
audit of the financial statements for the current period and thus constitute the key audit matters. We describe these
matters in our audit report unless laws and regulations prohibit the public disclosure of these matters or in rare
cases if it is reasonably expected that the negative consequences of disclosing something in the audit report will
outweigh the benefits to the public interest we determine that the matter should not be reported in the audit report.Grant Thornton Chinese Certified Public Accountant: Liu Jian

5. Accounting treatment of business combinations under common control and not under common
control
(1) Business combination under common control
For the business combination involving entities under common control the assets and liabilities of the party
being merged that are obtained in the business combination by the absorbing party shall be measured at the
carrying amounts as recorded by the ultimate controlling party in the consolidated financial statements at the
combination date except for the adjustments of different accounting policies. The difference between the
carrying amount of the consideration paid for the combination (or the aggregate nominal value of shares issued
as consideration) and the carrying amount of the net assets obtained in the combination is charged to the
capital reserve (share capital premium/capital premium). If the capital reserve (share capital premium/capital
premium) is not sufficient to absorb the difference any excess shall be adjusted against retained earnings.Business combinations involving entities under common control and achieved in stages
In the separate financial statements the initial investment cost is calculated based on the shareholding portion
of the assets and liabilities obtained and are measured at the carrying amounts as recorded by the party being
merged at the combination date. The difference between the initial investment cost and the sum of the carrying
amount of the original investment cost prior to the combination and the carrying amount of consideration paid
for the combination is adjusted to the capital reserve (share capital premium/capital premium) if the capital
reserve is not sufficient to absorb the difference the excess difference shall be adjusted to retained earnings.In the consolidated financial statements the assets and liabilities of the party being merged that are obtained
at the combination by the absorbing party shall be measured at the carrying value as recorded by the ultimate
controlling party in the consolidated financial statements at combination date except for adjustments of
different accounting policies. The difference between the sum of the carrying value from original shareholding
portion and the new investment cost incurred at combination date and the carrying value of net assets obtained
at combination date shall be adjusted to capital reserve (share capital premium/capital premium) if the balance
of capital reserve is not sufficient to absorb the differences any excess is adjusted to retained earnings.The long-term investment prior to the absorbing party obtaining the control of the party being merged the
recognised profit or loss comprehensive income and other change of owners’ equity at the closer date of the
acquisition date and combination date under common control shall separately offset the opening balance of
retained earnings and profit or loss during comparative statements.

5. Accounting treatment of business combinations under common control and not under common
control (Continued)
(2) Business combination not under common control
For business combinations involving entities not under common control the cost for each combination is
measured at the aggregate fair value at acquisition date of assets given liabilities incurred or assumed and
equity securities issued by the acquirer in exchange for control of the acquiree. At acquisition date the acquired
assets liabilities or contingent liabilities of acquiree are measured at their fair value.Where the cost of combination exceeds the acquirer’s interest in the fair value of the acquiree’s identifiable net
assets the difference is recognised as goodwill and subsequently measured on the basis of its cost minus
accumulative impairment provision; Where the cost of combination is less than the acquirer’s interest in the fair
value of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets the difference is recognised in profit or loss for the current period
after reassessment.Business combinations involving entities not under common control and achieved in stages
In the separate financial statements the initial investment cost of the investment is the sum of the carrying
amount of the equity investment held by the entity prior to the acquisition date and the additional investment
cost at the acquisition date. The disposal accounting policy of other comprehensive income related with
equity investment prior to the acquisition date recognised under equity method shall be compliance with the
method when the acquiree disposes the related assets or liabilities. Owners’ equity due to the changes of other
owners’ equity other than the changes of net profit other comprehensive income and profit distribution shall
be transferred to profit or loss for current period when disposed of. If the equity investment held by the entity
prior to the acquisition date is measured at fair value the cumulative changes in fair value recognised in other
comprehensive income shall be transferred to retained earnings for current period when accounted for using
cost method.In the consolidation financial statements the combination cost is the sum of consideration paid at acquisition
date and fair value of the acquiree’s equity investment held prior to acquisition date; the cost of equity of the
acquiree held prior to acquisition date shall be remeasured at the fair value at acquisition date the difference
between the fair value and carrying amount shall be recognised as investment income or loss for the current
period. Other comprehensive income and changes of investment equity related with acquiree’s equity held
prior to acquisition date shall be transferred to investment profit or loss for current period at acquisition date
except for the other comprehensive income incurred by the changes of net assets or net liabilities due to the
remeasurement of defined benefit plans.
(3) Transaction fees attribution during business combination
The audit legal valuation advisory and other intermediary fees and other relevant administrative expenses
arising from business combinations are recognised in profit or loss when incurred. Transaction costs of equity
or debt securities issued as the considerations of business combination are included in the initial recognition
amounts.

V. Significant Accounting Policies and Accounting Estimates (Continued)
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
intracompany 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 profit or loss statement and
the consolidated cash flow statement respectively.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 profit or
loss 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) Acquisition of non-controlling interests in subsidiaries
The difference between the long-term equity investments costs acquired by the acquisition of non-controlling
interests and the share of the net assets from subsidiaries from the date of acquisition or the date of
combination based on the new shareholding ratio as well as the difference between the proceeds from the
partial disposal of the equity investment without losing control over its subsidiary and the disposal of the
long-term equity investment corresponding to the share of the net assets of the subsidiaries from the date of
acquisition or the date of combination is adjusted to the capital reserve (share capital premium) if the capital
reserve is not sufficient any excess is adjusted to retained earnings.

6. Preparation of consolidated financial statements (Continued)
(4) 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
Company comprise joint operations and joint ventures.

8. Standards for recognising cash and cash equivalents
Cash refers to cash on hand and deposits readily available for payment purpose. Cash equivalents refer to short-
term and highly liquid investments held by the Company which are readily convertible into known amount of cash and
which are subject to insignificant risk of value change.
9. Foreign currency operations and translation of statements denominated in foreign currency
(1) Foreign currency operations
The foreign currency operations of the Company are translated into the functional currency at the prevailing
spot exchange rate on the date of exchange.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
cost shall still be measured by the functional currency translated at the spot exchange rate on the date of the
transaction. Foreign currency non-monetary items measured at fair value are translated at the spot exchange
rate on the date of determination of the fair value. The difference between the amounts of the functional
currency before and after the translation will be recognised in profit or loss or other comprehensive income for
the period based on the nature of the non-monetary items.
(2) Translation of financial statements denominated in foreign currency
When translating the financial statements denominated in foreign currency of overseas subsidiaries assets and
liabilities on the balance sheet are translated at the spot exchange rate prevailing at the balance sheet date;
owner’s equity items except for “retained profit” are translated at the spot exchange rates at the dates on which
such items arose.Income and expenses items in the profit or loss statement are translated at the prevailing spot exchange rate on
the transaction date.All items in the cash flow statements shall be translated at the prevailing spot exchange rate on the date that
the cash flow transaction occurred. Effects arising from changes of exchange rate on cash shall be presented
separately as the “effect of foreign exchange rate changes on cash and cash equivalents” item in the cash flow
statements.The differences arising from translation of financial statements shall be included in the “other comprehensiveincome” item in owners’ equity in the balance sheet.On disposal of foreign operations and loss of control exchange differences arising from the translation of
financial statements denominated in foreign currencies related to the disposed foreign operations which
has been included in owners’ equity in the balance sheet shall be transferred to profit or loss in whole or in
proportionate share in the period in which the disposal took place.

10. Financial instruments
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 Company became one of the parties under a
financial instrument contract.Financial asset that satisfied any of the following criteria shall be derecognised:
* the contract right to receive the cash flows of the financial asset has terminated;
* the financial asset 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 Company (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.
(2) Classification and measurement of financial assets
The Company 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 Company’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.

(2) Classification and measurement of financial assets (Continued)
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 Company’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.Financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss
The Company 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 Company 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 Company manages its financial assets
in order to generate cash flows. That is the Company’s business model determines whether cash flows will
result from collecting contractual cash flows selling financial assets or both. The Company 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 Company 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 Company 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.

(2) Classification and measurement of financial assets (Continued)
Financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss (Continued)
All affected financial assets are reclassified on the first day of the first reporting period following the change in
the business model where the Company 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 Company.
(3) Classification and measurement of financial liabilities
At initial recognition financial liabilities of the Company 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.

(3) Classification and measurement of financial liabilities (Continued)
Classification between financial liabilities and equity instruments
A financial liability is a liability if:
* it has a contractual obligation to pay in cash or other financial assets to other parties.* it has a contractual obligation to exchange financial assets or financial liabilities under potential adverse
condition with other parties.* 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.* 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.Equity instruments are any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of an entity after deducting
all of its liabilities.If the Company 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 Company’s own equity instruments the
Company’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 Company; for the latter it is the Company’s own equity instruments.
(4) 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. 12.

(5) Impairment of financial assets
The Company makes provision for impairment based on expected credit losses (ECLs) on the following items:
Financial assets measured at amortised cost;
Receivables and debt investments measured at fair value through other comprehensive income;
Contract assets as defined in the Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises No. 14 – Revenue;
Lease receivables;
Financial guarantee contracts (except those measured at fair value through profit or loss or formed by
continuing involvement of transferred financial assets or the transfer does not qualify for derecognition).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 Company 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 Company 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 Company 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 Company 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 Company
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 Company 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.

(5) Impairment of financial assets (Continued)
Measurement of ECLs (Continued)
The maximum period to be considered when estimating ECLs is the maximum contractual period over which
the Company is exposed to credit risk including renewal options.For the financial instruments at the first and second stages and with low credit risks the Company 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.Bills receivable and accounts receivable
For bills receivable and accounts receivable regardless of whether there is a significant financing component
the Company always makes provision for impairment at an amount equal to lifetime ECLs.When the Company 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: Due from related party customers
Accounts receivable portfolio 2: Receivables from non-related party customers

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 Company 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 Company calculates the ECLs based on default risk exposure
and the ECL rate over the next 12 months or the entire lifetime.Long-term receivables
The Company’s long-term receivables include finance lease receivables and deposits receivable.

For deposits receivable and receivables for construction projects the Company 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 Company 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.

Assessment of significant increase in credit risk
In assessing whether the credit risk of a financial instrument has increased significantly upon initial recognition
the Company 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 Company considers
reasonable and well-founded information including forward-looking information which can be obtained without
unnecessary extra costs or efforts. Information considered by the Company 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 Company.Depending on the nature of the financial instruments the Company 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 Company 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 Company 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;

Credit-impaired financial assets (Continued)
For economic or contractual reasons relating to the debtor’s financial difficulty the Company 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.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 Company 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 Company 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 Company’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.

(6) 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 Company transfers substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset to the
transferee the financial asset shall be derecognised. If the Company retains substantially all the risks and
rewards of ownership of a financial asset the financial asset shall not be derecognised.If the Company 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 Company 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.
(7) Offset of financial assets and financial liabilities
If the Company owns the legitimate rights of offsetting the recognised financial assets and financial liabilities
which are enforceable currently and the Company plans to realise the financial assets or to clear off the
financial liabilities on a net amount basis or simultaneously the 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.
11. Inventories
(1) Classification of inventories
Inventories of the Company mainly include raw materials work in progress goods in stock development
products consumable biological assets etc.
(2) Pricing of inventories dispatched
Inventories of the Company 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.

(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 events after the balance sheet date.At the balance sheet date provision for inventory impairment is made when the cost is higher than the net
realisable value. The Company 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 Company 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 Company are amortised when issued for use.Packaging materials for turnover are amortised when issued for use.
12. Fair value measurement
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction
between market participants at the measurement date.The Company measures the relevant asset and liability at fair value based on the presumption that the orderly
transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability takes place either in the principal market for the relevant asset or
liability or in the absence of a principal market in the most advantageous market for relevant the asset or liability. The
principal or the most advantageous market must be a trading market accessible by the Company at the measurement
date. The Company adopts the presumption that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability in
their best economic interest.If there exists an active market for a financial asset or financial liability the Company uses the quotation on the active
market as its fair value. If the market for a financial instrument is inactive the Company uses valuation technique to
recognise its fair value.Fair value measurement of a non-financial asset takes into account a market participant’s ability to generate economic
benefits by using the asset in its best use or by selling it to another market participant that would use the asset in its
best use.The Company adopts valuation techniques that are appropriate in the current circumstance and for which sufficient
data and other information are available prioritises the use of relevant observable inputs and uses unobservable
inputs only under the circumstances where such relevant observable inputs cannot be obtained or practicably
obtained.
2021 ANNUAL REPORT 189XII Financial Report
V. Significant Accounting Policies and Accounting Estimates (Continued)
12. Fair value measurement (Continued)
Assets and liabilities for which fair value is measured or disclosed in the financial statements are categorised within
the fair value hierarchy based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole.Level 1: based on quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities obtainable at the
measurement date. Level 2: observable inputs for the relevant asset or liability either directly or indirectly except for
Level 1 input. Level 3: unobservable inputs for the relevant assets or liability
At each balance sheet date the Company reassesses assets and liabilities measured at fair value that are recognised
in the financial statements on a recurring basis to determine whether transfers have occurred between fair value
measurement hierarchy levels.
13. Long-term equity investments
Long-term equity investments include the equity investments in subsidiaries joint ventures and associates. Associates
of the Company are those investees that the Company 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.

13. Long-term equity investments (Continued)
(2) Subsequent measurement and method for profit or loss recognition (Continued)
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 Company.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. For
investments in non-trading equity instruments that were previously classified as at fair value through other
comprehensive income the cumulative fair value changes associated with them that were previously included
in other comprehensive income are transferred to retained earnings upon the change to the equity method of
accounting.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 Company 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.

13. Long-term equity investments (Continued)
(2) Subsequent measurement and method for profit or loss recognition (Continued)
In respect of the transactions between the Company 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
Company. Investment gain or loss shall be recognised accordingly. However any unrealised loss arising from
internal transactions between the Company and an investee is not eliminated to the extent that the loss is
impairment loss of the transferred assets.
(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 Company 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 Company 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) Held-for-sale equity investments
The equity investments to associates or joint ventures are all or partially classified as assets held for sale.The remaining equity investments that are not classified as assets held for sale shall be accounted for using
equity method.The equity investments to associates or joint ventures already classified as held for sale no longer meet the
conditions of assets held for sale shall be adjusted retroactively using equity method from the date of being
classified as assets held for sale.

(5) Impairment test method and Impairment provision
For the method for making impairment provision for the investment in subsidiaries associates and joint
ventures please refer to Note V. 20.
14. Investment property
Investment property refers to real estate held to earn rentals or for capital appreciation or both. The investment
property of the Company includes leased land use rights land use rights held for sale after appreciation and leased
buildings.The investment property of the Company 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. 20.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.
15. Fixed assets
(1) Conditions for recognition
Fixed assets represent the tangible assets held by the Company using in the production of goods rendering of
services and for operation and administrative purposes with useful life over one year.Fixed assets are recognised when it is probable that the related economic benefits will flow to the Company and
the costs can be reliably measured.The Company’s fixed assets are initially measured at the actual cost at the time of acquisition.Subsequent expenditures incurred for a fixed asset are included in the cost of the fixed asset when it is probable
that the associated economic benefits will flow to the Company and the related cost can be reliably measured.The cost of routine repairs of fixed assets that do not qualify as capitalised subsequent expenditure is charged
to current profit or loss or included in the cost of the related assets in accordance with the beneficiary object
when incurred. The carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognised.
2021 ANNUAL REPORT 193XII Financial Report
V. Significant Accounting Policies and Accounting Estimates (Continued)
15. Fixed assets (Continued)
(2) Depreciation method
The Company 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 Company
determines the annual depreciation rate by category estimated useful lives and estimated residual value of the
fixed assets as below:
Useful lives of Estimated Annual
depreciation residual depreciation
Category Depreciation method (Year) value (%) rate (%)
Housing and building structure Straight-line method 20-40 5-10 2.25-4.75
Machinery and equipment Straight-line method 8-20 5-10 4.50-11.88
Transportation equipment Straight-line method 5-8 5-10 11.25-19.00
Electronic equipment and
others Straight-line method 5 5-10 18.00-19.00
Where for the fixed assets for which impairment provision is made to determine the depreciation rate the
accumulated amount of the fixed asset impairment provision that has been made shall be deducted.
(3) The impairment test method and impairment provision method of the fixed assets are set out in Note V. 20.
(4) The Company 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.
(5) Disposal of fixed assets
A fixed asset is derecognised on disposal or when it is expected that there shall be no economic benefit arising
from using or after disposal. Where the fixed assets are sold transferred retired or damaged the income
received after disposal after deducting the carrying amount and related taxes are recognised in profit or loss for
the current period.

V. Significant Accounting Policies and Accounting Estimates (Continued)
16. Construction in progress
Construction in progress of the Company 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. 20.
17. Borrowing costs
(1) Recognition principle for the capitalisation of the borrowing costs
The borrowing costs incurred by the Company 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:
* 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;
* The borrowing costs have been incurred;
* 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 Company 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.

V. Significant Accounting Policies and Accounting Estimates (Continued)
17. Borrowing costs (Continued)
(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.
18. Right-of-use assets
Conditions for recognition of right-of-use assets.Right-of-use assets are defined as the right of underlying assets in the lease term for the Company 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 Company 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 Company as lessee. As
a lessee the Company 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.Depreciation method of right-of-use assets
The Company uses the straight-line method for depreciation. Where the Company 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.For the methods of impairment test and impairment provision of right-of-use assets please refer to Note V. 20.

V. Significant Accounting Policies and Accounting Estimates (Continued)
19. Intangible assets
The intangible assets of the Company 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:
Method of
Type Useful life (year) 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 Company 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. 20.
20. 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 Company 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.
2021 ANNUAL REPORT 197XII Financial Report
V. Significant Accounting Policies and Accounting Estimates (Continued)
20. Asset impairment (Continued)
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 Company estimates the recoverable amount of an
individual asset. If it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of the individual asset the Company shall
determine the recoverable amount of the asset group to which the asset belongs. The 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 Company.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.
21. Long-term prepaid expenses
The long-term prepaid expenses incurred by the Company 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.
22. 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 and other beneficiaries.Employee benefits are presented as “employee benefits payable” and “long-term employee benefits payable” in
the balance sheet respectively according to liquidity.

22. Employee benefits (Continued)
(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.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.
(4) Termination benefits
When the Company 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 Company cannot revoke unilaterally compensation for dismissal due to the cancellation of labour
relationship plans and employee redundant proposals; the Company 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.
2021 ANNUAL REPORT 199XII Financial Report
V. Significant Accounting Policies and Accounting Estimates (Continued)
23. 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 Company;
(2) it is likely that an outflow of economic benefits from the Company will be resulted from the performance of the
obligation;
(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 Company 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.
24. Share-based payments
(1) Category of share-based payment
The Company’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 Company 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 Company 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 Company. For those may
immediately vest after the grant the fair value of the liability undertaken by the Company 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 Company. 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.When there are changes in Company’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 Company 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 Company 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 Company will treat them as cancelled equity instruments granted.

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.

25. Preference Shares Perpetual Bonds and other financial instruments (Continued)
(2) Accounting treatment of preference shares perpetual bonds and other financial instruments
Financial instruments issued by the Company 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 Company 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 Company 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.
26. Revenue
(1) General principles
The Company 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 Company 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 Company performs its performance obligation within a certain
period; otherwise it performs its performance obligation at a point of time:
* when the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits provided by the Company when
the Company performs its obligations under the contract;
* when the customer is able to control the goods in progress in the course of performance by the Company
under the contract;
* when the goods produced by the Company under the contract are irreplaceable and the Company has
the right to payment for performance completed to date during the whole contract term.For performance obligations performed within a certain period the Company 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 Company 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.

26. Revenue (Continued)
(1) General principles (Continued)
For performance obligation performed at a point of time the Company 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 Company considers the following indications:
* The Company has the current right to receive payment for the goods which is when the customer has the
current payment obligations for the goods.* The Company has transferred the legal title of the goods to the customer which is when the client
possesses the legal title of the goods.* The Company has transferred the physical possession of goods to the customer which is when the
customer obtains physical possession of the goods.* The Company 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.* The customer has accepted the goods.* Other information indicates that the customer has obtained control of the goods.The Company’s right to consideration in exchange for goods or services that the Company 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 (Note VII. 47). The Company’s unconditional
right to receive consideration from customers (only depends on passage of time) is accounted for as accounts
receivable. The Company’s obligation to transfer goods or services to customers for which the Company 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 Company: 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 Company: 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 Company: revenue is recognised by
amortising the rental income on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
2021 ANNUAL REPORT 203XII Financial Report
V. Significant Accounting Policies and Accounting Estimates (Continued)
27. Government grants
A government grant is recognised when the grant will be received and that the Company will comply with the
conditions attaching to the grant.If a government grant is in the form of a monetary asset it is measured at the amount received or receivable. If a
government grant is in the form 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 Company adopts a consistent approach to the
same or similar government grants.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.
28. 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 Company shall be recognised as deferred income tax using the balance sheet liability
method.
204 SHANDONG CHENMING PAPER HOLDINGS LIMITEDXII Financial Report
V. Significant Accounting Policies and Accounting Estimates (Continued)
28. Deferred income tax assets/deferred income tax liabilities (Continued)
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 Company is able to control the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference and it is probable that
the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future.The Company 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.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 Company 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.
29. Lease
(1) Identification of leases
On the beginning date of the contract the Company (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 Company identifies such contract is or contains a lease.

V. Significant Accounting Policies and Accounting Estimates (Continued)
29. Lease (Continued)
(2) The Company as lessee
On the beginning date of the lease the Company 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. 18.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. Where the interest rate implicit in the
lease cannot be determined the incremental borrowing rate is used as the discount 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 Company 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.For short-term leases the Company 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 equipment
Transportation vehicles

V. Significant Accounting Policies and Accounting Estimates (Continued)
29. Lease (Continued)
(2) The Company as lessee (Continued)
Low-value asset lease
A low-value asset lease is a lease that the value of a single leased asset is below RMB40000 when it is a new
asset.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.For a low-value asset lease the Company chooses the above simplified approach based on the specific
circumstances of each lease.Lease modification
The Company accounts for a lease modification as a separate lease when the modification occurs and the
following conditions are met: * the lease modification expands the scope of lease by adding the right to use
one or more of the leased assets; and * the increase in consideration is equivalent to the separate price for the
expanded scope of lease adjusted for that contractual situation.Where a lease modification is not accounted for as a separate lease at the effective date of the lease
modification the Company reallocates the consideration of the modified contract redetermines the lease term
and remeasures the lease liability based on the present value of the lease payments after the modification and
the revised discount rate.If a lease modification results in a reduction in the scope of the lease or a shortening of the lease term the
Company reduces the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset accordingly and includes in the profit or loss for
the period the gain or loss associated with the partial or complete termination of the lease.Where other lease modifications result in a remeasurement of the lease liability the Company adjusts the
carrying amount of the right-of-use asset accordingly.
(3) The Company as lessor
When the Company 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.

(3) The Company as lessor (Continued)
Finance leases
Under finance leases the Company accounts for finance lease receivables at the beginning of the lease term
at the net lease investment which is the sum of the unsecured residual value and the present value of the
lease receipts outstanding at the commencement date of the lease discounted at the interest rate implicit in
the lease. The Company as lessor calculates and recognises interest income for each period of the lease term
based on a fixed periodic interest rate. Variable lease payments acquired by the Company as lessor that are not
included in the net measurement of lease investments are included in profit or loss for the period when they are
actually incurred.Derecognition and impairment of finance lease receivables are accounted for in accordance with the
requirements under the Accounting Standard for Business Enterprises No. 22 – Recognition and Measurement
of Financial Instruments and the Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises No. 23 – Transfer of Financial
Assets.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.Lease modification
The Company accounts for a modification in an operating lease as a new lease from the effective date of the
modification and the amount of lease receipts received in advance or receivable in respect of the lease prior to
the modification is treated as a receipt under the new lease.The Company accounts for a modification in a finance lease as a separate lease when the change occurs and
the following conditions are met: * the modification expands the scope of lease by adding the right to use one
or more of the leased assets; and * the increase in consideration is equivalent to the separate price for the
expanded scope of lease adjusted for that contractual situation.Where a finance lease is modified and not accounted for as a separate lease the Company accounts for the
modified lease in the following circumstances: * If the modification takes effect on the lease commencement
date the lease will be classified as an operating lease the Company will account for it as a new lease from the
effective date of the lease modification and use the net lease investment before the effective date of the lease
modification; * If the modification takes effect on the lease commencement date the lease will be classified
as a finance lease and the Company will conduct accounting treatment in accordance with the Accounting
Standards for Business Enterprises No. 22 – Recognition and Measurement of Financial Instruments on
modifying or renegotiating contracts.

(4) Sublease
When the Company 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 Company adopts a simplified
approach then the Company classifies the sublease as an operating lease.
(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.
30. Critical accounting judgments and estimates
The Company gives continuous assessment on among other things the reasonable expectations of future events
and the critical accounting estimates and key assumptions adopted according to its historical experience and other
factors. The critical accounting estimates and key assumptions that are likely to lead to significant adjustment risks of
the carrying amount of assets and liabilities for the next financial year are listed as follows:
Classification of financial assets
Significant judgements involved in determining the classification of financial assets include the analysis of business
models and contractual cash flow characteristics.Factors considered by the Company in determining the business model for a group of financial assets include how the
asset’s performance is evaluated and reported to key management personnel how risks are assessed and managed
and how the relevant management personnel are compensated.When the Company assesses whether the contractual cash flows of the financial assets are consistent with basic
lending arrangements the main judgements are described as below: whether the principal amount may change over
the life of the financial asset (for example if there are repayments of principal); whether the interest includes only
consideration for the time value of money credit risk other basic lending risks and a profit margin and cost. For
example whether the amount repaid in advance reflects only the outstanding principal and interest thereon as well as
reasonable compensation paid for early termination of the contract.

30. Critical accounting judgments and estimates (Continued)
Measurement of the ECLs of accounts receivable
The Company calculates the ECLs of accounts receivable using the exposure to default risk and ECL rate of accounts
receivable and determines the ECL rate based on default probability and default loss rate. When determining the
ECL rate the Company adjusts its historical data by referring to information such as historical credit loss experience
as well as current situation and forward-looking information. When considering the forward-looking information
indicators used by the Company include the risk of economic downturn external market environment technology
environment and changes in customers. The assumptions relating to the ECL calculation are monitored and reviewed
by the Company on a regularly basis.Impairment of goodwill
The Company assesses the impairment of goodwill at least annually which requires estimates on the use value of
asset groups allocated with goodwill. When estimating use value the Company is required to estimate the future cash
flow from such asset groups while selecting the appropriate discount rate to calculate the present value of future cash
flow.Deferred income tax assets
Deferred income tax assets are recognised for all unused tax losses to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit
will be available against which the losses can be utilised. Significant management judgement is required to determine
the amount of deferred income tax assets that can be recognised based upon the likely timing and level of future
taxable profits together with future tax planning strategies.Share-based payments
When calculating the liabilities and expenses related to the equity incentive plan the management of the Company is
required to make judgments and estimates on issues such as the turnover rate and vesting conditions. Differences in
the judgments and estimates will have a material effect on the financial statements.

Explanation:
The Company assessed the recoverable amount of goodwill and determined that the goodwill related to the Company’s plastic
business was not impaired. With the category of the principal activities as the basis for determining the reporting segments the
Company regarded Kunshan Tuoan Plastic Products Co. Ltd. as an asset group. The recoverable amount was determined based on
the present value of the estimated future cash flows. Future cash flows were determined based on the financial budget for 2022 to 2026
as approved by the management and adopted 7.28% as the discount rate which was 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 included 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 believed that any reasonable change in
the above assumptions will not result in the total book value of the asset group Kunshan Tuoan Plastic Products Co. Ltd. exceeding its
recoverable amount.

Changes (increase or decrease) in other equity instruments during the period the reasons for such changes and the basis for relevant
accounting treatment:
* The Company issued medium-term notes amounting to RMB1000 million on 12 July 2017 at a coupon rate of 6.80%. The
proceeds net of issue costs amounted to RMB996.00 million.The notes are debts without a defined maturity date and will continue indefinitely until the exercise of the right of redemption by
the Company. The interest rate of the bills is determined by the basic interest rate + the initial interest rate + 300BP. It has the
feature of capped interest rates and the capped interest rate does not exceed the average interest rate level of the same type
of instruments in the same industry in the same period; The Company has the right to defer any payment of interest. The right
of redemption of the notes is vested in the Company so that it is up to the Company to decide whether to redeem or not; the
priority of repayment of the principal and interest of medium-term notes for the period is the same as other outstanding debt
financing instruments of the issuers in the event of winding up because there is low probability of bankruptcy that the Company
will not be liable for contractual obligations to deliver cash or other financial assets expected.Based on the above the notes do not contain any term giving rise to any contractual obligation to deliver cash or other financial
assets to any other entity or to exchange any financial asset or financial liability with any other entity under potential adverse
circumstances. Consequently they are eligible to be recognised and accounted for as equity instruments and included under
other equity instruments.* The Company non-publicly issued Preference Shares amounting to RMB4500 million on 17 March 17 August and 22 September
2016 respectively. The proceeds net of issue costs amounted to RMB4477.50 million.

dividends on ordinary shares.Based on the above the Preference Shares do not contain any term giving rise to any contractual obligation to deliver cash or other
financial assets to any other entity or to exchange any financial asset or financial liability with any other entity under potential adverse
circumstances. Consequently they were accounted for as other equity instruments – Preference Shares.* The Company redeemed in full the Preference Shares in issue during the year.

opening balances of the financial statements in accordance with the convergence requirements of the new standard
and the Company should adjust the opening balances of its 2021 financial statements accordingly when adopting the
equity method of accounting resulting in opening balance of retained earnings – other decrease.

(3) Market risk
Market risk includes interest rate risk and currency risk refers to the risk that the fair value or future cash flow of
a financial instrument will be fluctuated due to the changes in market price.Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk refers to the risk that the fair value or future cash flow of a financial instrument will be fluctuated
due to the floating rate. Interest rate risk arises from recognised interest-bearing financial instrument and
unrecognised financial instrument (e.g. loan commitments).The Company’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 Company to cash flow interest rate
risk. Financial liabilities issued at fixed rate expose the Company to fair value interest rate risk. The Company
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 Company’s finance department continuously monitors the interest rate position of the Company. The
Company did not enter into any interest rate hedging arrangements. But 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 Company’s
outstanding floating rate interest-bearing borrowings and therefore could have a material adverse effect on
the Company’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 Company are as follows (in ten thousand RMB):

Interest rate risk (Continued)
The financial instruments held by the Company at the reporting date expose the Company 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 Company at the reporting
date expose the Company 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.Exchange rate risk
Exchange risk refers to the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will be fluctuated
due to the changes in foreign currency rates. Foreign currency risk arises on financial instruments that are
denominated in a currency other than the functional currency in which they are measured.The principal business of the Company is situated within the PRC and is denominated in RMB. However
foreign exchange risks still exist for the assets and liabilities in foreign currencies and future foreign currency
transactions as recognised by the Company (assets and liabilities in foreign currencies and foreign currency
transactions are mainly denominated in US dollar Japanese yen South Korean Won Euro Hong Kong dollar
and British pound).The following table details the financial assets and liabilities held by the Company which denominated in foreign
currencies and amounted to RMB as at 31 December 2021 are as follows (in RMB ten thousands):
