INTERIM REPORT 2026III Management Discussion and Analysis

I. Principal activities of the Company during the reporting period

1. Industry Overview

The Company operates within the paper and paper products industry. As a large pulp and paper manufacturer in China

featuring a complete industrial chain leading scale and a high degree of pulp and paper integration the Company

operates multiple production bases across Shandong Guangdong Hubei Jiangxi Jilin and other regions. It offers a

diverse range of machine-made paper products with core products including cultural paper coated paper and white

cardboard. The Company ranks at the forefront of the industry in terms of production capacity product quality technical

equipment and brand influence.The paper industry is a crucial foundational sector of the national economy and is essential for sustaining daily

livelihoods. It is distinctly characterised as a technology-capital-resource intensive industry. Its product applications

penetrate all aspects of social and economic activities. They are deeply integrated into the defence and military industry

(special functional materials) cultural communication (publishing and printing) industrial and agricultural production

(supporting materials) modern logistics (packaging products) and other key areas of the national economy and are

closely related to everyday consumer spending. As a typical cyclical industry the prosperity of the paper industry is

closely tied to the broader economic trend. The consumption level of paper and paperboard has become one of the

important indicators to measure a country’s level of modernisation and civilised development and is widely recognised

by the international community as a “social and economic barometer”.During the reporting period new production capacity in the domestic paper industry continued to be put into operation

driving a continuous expansion in overall market supply. With varying demand across downstream application

segments the industry as a whole remained in a phase of bottoming out amidst cyclical volatility and adjustments.Against this backdrop phasing out obsolete and inefficient production capacity deepening the green and low-

carbon upgrade of the industry and promoting the industrial structure towards quality improvement and efficiency

enhancement remained the core development directions for the transformation and upgrading of the paper industry. In

terms of supply the successive commissioning of new production capacity in regions such as South China and Jiangxi

drove a continuous rise in market supply in the first half of the year sustaining the overcapacity pressure across the

cultural paper and white cardboard markets. In terms of demand influenced by policies such as the implementation of

education burden-relief policies and strict controls over the total number of supplementary teaching materials coupled

with the ongoing substitution of traditional art books and promotional flyers by digital reading and online advertising

the overall demand for cultural paper and coated paper remained weak putting product prices under pressure. Despite

being in the traditional low-demand season for white cardboard the continuous advancement of the “paper-over-plastic”

policy and the EU plastic ban offset the impact of sluggish domestic demand to a certain extent. In terms of cost wood

pulp as the core raw material served as the dominant cost driver for the industry. According to SCI wood pulp supply

was generally ample in the first half of 2026 and pulp inventories at eight major domestic ports remained at a high level

of over 2.30 million tonnes for an extended period. Such ample market supply pushed the overall price benchmark

of pulp into a sustained downtrend. In particular average prices for softwood pulp declined year on year dragged

down by weak demand for cultural paper while hardwood pulp prices rose slightly supported by inelastic demand for

blending and substitution in paper production. In the second quarter prices for both types of pulp moved downward in

tandem. In terms of policy high-standard industry policies continued to be introduced throughout the reporting period

with regulatory constraints becoming increasingly stringent. With the paper industry listed in the national carbon market

expansion plan tightening carbon emission control policies raised the carbon-related operating costs for small energy-

intensive paper enterprises compelling the accelerated elimination of inefficient and obsolete capacity. The 50% VAT

rebate policy for the comprehensive utilisation of waste paper which came into effect in July 2026 further tightened

regulatory oversight over the industry’s waste paper recycling and reuse operations. Cost pressures intensified for small

and medium-sized paper enterprises without proper recycling qualifications or compliant operating practices while

the cost competitiveness of compliant industry leaders was further enhanced. At the same time the implementation

of the new Ecological and Environmental Code in August 2026 comprehensively raised the emission control standards

for pollutants such as wastewater solid waste waste gas and odour across the industry. Small paper manufacturers

lacking supporting environmental protection facilities or failing to meet environmental standards would be forced out of

the market at an accelerated rate. The implementation of these series of industrial policies continued to drive industry

resources towards leading enterprises with an integrated pulp and paper layout balanced multi-category production

capacity and a comprehensive environmental compliance system. According to official data from the National Bureau

of Statistics from January to June 2026 China’s paper and paper products industry generated revenue of RMB689.79

billion representing a year-on-year increase of 5.5%. Operating costs amounted to RMB607.73 billion representing a

year-on-year increase of 5.2% while total profits amounted to RMB19.61 billion representing a year-on-year increase

of 27.5%.SHANDONG CHENMING PAPER HOLDINGS LIMITED 9

INTERIM REPORT 2026III Management Discussion and Analysis

I. Principal activities of the Company during the reporting period (Cont'd)

1. Industry Overview (Cont'd)

Looking ahead to the second half of 2026 and beyond the paper industry is expected to embark on a positive

development trajectory characterised by a gradual recovery from the cyclical bottom and continuous optimization of the

industry landscape. Industry growth is transitioning from extensive capacity expansion to a high-quality development

model focusing on green transition high-end positioning and integrated industrial chains with structural growth

opportunities becoming increasingly prominent across the industry. As China’s green manufacturing system continues

to improve the paper industry is optimising and iterating its product structure towards higher value-added and premium

offerings accelerating the development of new quality productive forces. Meanwhile with the deepening advancement

of digital and intelligent transformation across the industry the digital and intelligent capabilities of the entire industrial

chain continue to upgrade and technology-empowered innovation will continue to consolidate the core drivers for

cost reduction quality improvement and efficiency enhancement across the industry. At the same time supported

by a macro environment of a continuously improving domestic consumption loop and a steady recovery in domestic

demand the profitability benchmark of the paper industry is expected to rise steadily.Going forward the Company will closely align with the “One-Two-Five” development strategy. Leveraging the

competitive advantage of its fully integrated industry chain the Company will deepen its presence in its principal

activities of pulp production and papermaking enhance refined cost management strengthen end-to-end cost

reduction and efficiency enhancement as well as all-round new product development accurately capture structural

growth opportunities in the industry uphold a prudent operational approach and continuously drive the Company

towards high-quality and sustainable development.

2. Business overview of the Company

The Company is a large modern conglomerate principally engaged in pulp production and paper making and committed

itself to implementing a pulp and paper integration strategy. The Company has production bases in Shandong

Guangdong Hubei Jiangxi Jilin and other places and is the first domestic paper making enterprise that achieves

a balance between pulp production and paper making capacity. Its machine-made paper products cover more than

200 types including culture paper coated paper white cardboard copy paper industrial paper special paper and

household paper. It is the enterprise with the largest variety of products and the most complete products in the domestic

paper industry. During the reporting period the machine-made paper business was the major source of revenue and

profit of the Company.During the reporting period the Company proactively adapted to market changes and strengthened refined

management. Through a series of measures including formulating clear strategic operational objectives streamlining

its organisational structure improving management systems as well as coordinating and optimising logistics and

transportation advancing process technology upgrades improving independent equipment maintenance capabilities

and expanding diversified sales channels the Company achieved a balance between production and sales further

reduced costs and enhanced efficiency and significantly narrowed its overall operating losses. At the same time

relying on the full resumption of operation and production across various production bases the Company achieved

a substantial year-on-year increase in production and sales volumes and a significant year-on-year decrease in

suspension losses. In addition the Company actively negotiated with creditors for further interest rate reductions

resulting in a marked decrease in finance expenses. Coupled with the divestiture of all assets related to the financial

leasing business in the fourth quarter of the prior year which contributed to a significant year-on-year decrease in

credit impairment losses and asset impairment losses for the reporting period the Company recorded revenue of

RMB6865 million and net profit attributable to shareholders of the Company of a loss of RMB786 million from January

to June 2026. Looking ahead the Company will steadfastly implement the “One-Two-Five” strategic developmentplan and remain committed to its goal of “building a top-tier management team and delivering outstanding businessperformance”. With a focus on “cost reduction and efficiency enhancement product innovation and complianceprevention” the Company will strengthen team building deepen management reform and innovation optimise the

industrial ecosystem chain restructure the production management system step up efforts to dispose of non-core

assets cultivate brand credibility and go all out to achieve high-quality and sustainable development of the Company.

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

1. Macroeconomic policy risk

As a crucial basic raw materials industry within the national economy the paper industry’s development is closely tied

to national macroeconomic policies. In recent years relevant competent authorities have issued a series of policies and

regulations including the Policy on the Development of the Paper Industry aiming to improve the industrial structure

elevate product technology promote energy conservation and emission reduction and phase out outdated capacity.These have provided strong policy support for the industry’s high-quality development. As China continues to transform

and upgrade its economic structure and deepens the implementation of strategies such as the “dual-carbon” goals and

environmental governance future policies of the paper industry may undergo further adjustments. For instance stricter

requirements regarding environmental standards raw material supplies and capacity controls could be introduced

potentially impacting the Company’s production and operations as well as technological upgrades. Furthermore shifts

in macroeconomic policies such as fiscal and financial policies bank interest rates and import/export regulations will

also affect the Company’s operations and development.In response to the aforesaid risks the Company will strengthen its policy analysis and closely monitor dynamic shifts

in national industrial fiscal and financial policies. It will remain anchored to its core direction of developing its principal

business of pulp production and papermaking adhere to an innovation-driven strategy and align with policy directives

to optimise its industrial structure and regional footprint. By building a highly collaborative and efficient industrial

system it aims to address the risks associated with industrial policy adjustments. Meanwhile the Company will continue

to strengthen lean management control costs and expenses broaden financing channels optimise its capital structure

and improve overall operational quality to counter any risks arising from macroeconomic policy adjustments including

those in fiscal and financial domains.

2. Environmental risk

The transition towards green and low-carbon practices has become the core strategic direction for high-quality

development in the paper industry. In recent years the government has continuously intensified environmental

governance leading to increasingly stringent environmental requirements. Relevant competent authorities successively

issued a series of policy documents including the Guiding Opinions on Accelerating the Establishment and Improvement

of a Green Low-Carbon and Circular Economic System and the Opinions on Accelerating the High-Quality Development

of Manufacturing Service Industry to guide the green transformation of the industry. The Ecological and Environmental

Code of the People's Republic of China adopted on 12 March 2026 at the Fourth Session of the 14th National People's

Congress and effective from 15 August 2026 establishes six fundamental principles namely prevention first systematic

governance ecological priority green development public participation and liability for damage and coordinates

governance over pollution prevention and control ecological protection and green and low-carbon development

providing a legal basis for the green transformation of energy-intensive and high-emission industries. As national

environmental standards rise companies in the industry further increase their investments in pollution control which

may raise the operating costs in the short term.In response to the aforesaid risks the Company firmly implements the national “dual carbon” policy and adheres

to the development philosophy of “placing green development and environmental protection as its priority”. The

Company integrates environmental requirements throughout its entire production and operational processes widely

adopting new technologies for energy conservation and emission reduction to ensure clean production and compliant

XI. Risk factors of the Company and the measures to be taken (Cont'd)

3. Risk of price fluctuation of raw materials

The major raw materials of the paper industry are wood pulp and wood chips. Given China’s relative shortage of wood

resources the industry relies heavily on imported wood pulp and wood chips making its development susceptible

to fluctuations in international prices of wood pulp and wood chips. If the price of raw materials fluctuates sharply in

the future it will bring uncertainty to the control of production costs of papermaking enterprises which will affect the

business performance of these enterprises.In response to the aforesaid risks the Company remains committed to its strategic layout of a fully integrated pulp

and paper industrial chain. By operating its own wood pulp production lines at its production bases in Shouguang

Zhanjiang Huanggang and other regions the Company ensures the stability and autonomy of its upstream raw material

supply thereby reducing reliance on external procurement. Meanwhile the Company has established a robust supply

chain management mechanism comprehensively advancing the digitalised standardised and refined construction of

its procurement processes boosting procurement transparency and operational efficiency. It has implemented refined

category-based management and control over procurement lots systematically improved its supplier database and

strengthened the competitive mechanism among suppliers to secure optimal pricing thereby effectively enhancing the

quality of supplies and cost control while minimising the impact of fluctuations in raw material prices on its production

and operations.

4. Risk of intensified market competition

Although the paper industry has seen an accelerated phase-out of outdated production capacity after several rounds of

environmental policy enforcement this has continuously optimised the overall industry landscape and further improved

market concentration. However there remains the phenomenon of a large number of enterprises within the industry

structural and cyclical overcapacity for certain products a predominance of mid-to-low-end products and product

homogeneity. During the reporting period the cultural paper market shrank due to market conditions with selling

prices dropping to historical lows and the intensified competition in the industry also posed potential pressure on the

Company’s profit margins.In response to the aforesaid risks the Company focuses on technological innovation and product upgrading as its core

drivers continuously improve its production equipment processing design and manufacturing techniques and deepen

its lean production management system to comprehensively enhance product quality stability and generate brand value.Meanwhile the Company remains market-oriented accurately identifying changes in downstream consumer demand

to optimise its product portfolio. By manufacturing highly marketable products that meet diverse customer needs

the Company strives to develop a product structure characterised by high quality precision specialty differentiation

and personalisation to increase product added value and profitability. In addition the Company leverages market

competition to drive team performance strengthen the professional capabilities of its sales workforce and expand its

diversified sales channels comprehensively enhancing its risk resilience to hedge against market competition volatility.SHANDONG CHENMING PAPER HOLDINGS LIMITED 29

XI. Risk factors of the Company and the measures to be taken (Cont'd)

5. Capital risk

The paper industry is capital-intensive. In recent years the industry has seen concentrated capacity expansion

insufficient downstream demand and prominent supply-demand imbalances. This has caused a continuous decline

in the prices of major paper products especially white cardboard resulting in lower profitability for paper enterprises.Against this backdrop enterprises with high debt levels face increased operational pressure during industry downturns.If they encounter situations such as loan delays by financial institutions or the withdrawal of strategic investors it could

trigger temporary liquidity shortages. This in turn may lead to risks such as debt defaults frozen accounts litigations

and other issues that could impact the Company’s operations.In response to the aforementioned risks the Company focuses on its principal responsibilities and operations

comprehensively deepens reforms and innovation in internal management and vigorously advances measures to reduce

costs and enhance efficiency throughout the entire process thereby steadily improving the profitability of its principal

activities. Meanwhile it has adopted a range of measures to broaden its financing channels proactively engaged with

creditors maintained regular communication and actively negotiated and implemented optimised repayment plans

including loan extensions interest rate reductions and extended interest settlement cycles to effectively reduce financial

costs and alleviate the Company’s debt repayment pressures and operational burdens. In addition the Company has

stepped up its efforts to dispose of non-core and underperforming assets continuously optimising its asset structure

increasing cash inflows and enhancing its risk resilience to ensure the Company’s operations are sustainable and

stable.XII. Development and implementation of a market value management system and a valuation

6. 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. The difference between the carrying amount of the consideration paid for the combination and the carrying

amount of the net assets obtained in the combination is charged to the capital reserve. If the capital reserve 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

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. 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 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.

(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.

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

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

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 and 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 other owners’ 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 and

the other comprehensive income related to investments in non-trading equity instruments that were previously

designated as at fair value through other comprehensive income.

(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.

7. Judgment criteria for control and preparation of consolidated financial statements

(1) Judgment criteria for control

The scope of consolidation of the consolidated financial statements is determined on the basis of control. The

term “control” refers to the fact that the Company has power over the investee and is entitled to variable returns

from its involvement with the investee and the ability to use its power over the investee to affect the amount of

those returns. The Company will reassess when changes in relevant facts and circumstances result in changes in

the relevant elements involved in the definition of control.When judging whether to include a structured entity into the scope of consolidation the Company

comprehensively considers all facts and circumstances including assessing the purpose and design of the

structured entity identifying the types of variable returns and assessing whether to control the structured entity

on the basis of whether it bears part or all of the return variability by participating in its related activities.SHANDONG CHENMING PAPER HOLDINGS LIMITED 87

7. Judgment criteria for control and preparation of consolidated financial statements (Cont’d)

(2) Basis for preparation of the consolidated financial statements

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

consolidated cash flow statement respectively.For a subsidiary and its business acquired through a business combination involving entities not under common

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

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

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

shareholders’ equity in the consolidated balance sheet as minority interest. The portion of net profit or loss of

subsidiaries for the period attributable to minority interest is presented in the consolidated income statement

under the “profit or loss of minority interest”. When the amount of loss attributable to the minority shareholders of

a subsidiary exceeds the minority shareholders’ portion of the opening balance of owners’ equity of the subsidiary

the excess amount shall be allocated against minority interest.

(3) 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. If the capital reserve is not sufficient any excess is adjusted to

retained earnings.

(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 remeasured 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 sum 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 accounted for on the

same basis as the former subsidiary’s direct disposal of relevant assets or liabilities when the control is lost. Other

changes in owners’ equity related to the former subsidiary that are accounted for using the equity method shall be

transferred to current profit or loss at the time when the control is lost.

11. 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 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 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.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 profit or loss:

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.SHANDONG CHENMING PAPER HOLDINGS LIMITED 91

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

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.

financial assets shall not be reclassified after initial recognition.

(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.Financial guarantee contracts

Financial guarantee contracts that are not designated as financial liabilities measured at fair value through profit

or loss are initially measured at fair value. Subsequently they are measured at the higher of the loss allowance

determined using the expected credit loss model and the balance of the initial recognition amount less cumulative

amortisation.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.SHANDONG CHENMING PAPER HOLDINGS LIMITED 93

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

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

of its liabilities.If the 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 investment in debt instruments 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.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.For receivables such as bills receivable accounts receivable accounts receivable financing other receivables

and contract assets if the credit risk characteristics of a customer are significantly different from other customers

in the portfolio or the credit risk characteristics of such customer change significantly the Company will make a

separate provision for bad debts for such receivables. In addition to the receivables for which bad debt provisions

are made individually the Company divides the receivables into portfolios based on credit risk characteristics and

calculates bad debt provisions on a combined basis.SHANDONG CHENMING PAPER HOLDINGS LIMITED 95

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 or contract assets

at a reasonable cost it classifies bills receivable accounts receivable and contract assets 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: Due from non-related party customers

Accounts receivable portfolio 3: Factoring receivables

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

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

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

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

table of the ageing of accounts receivable and the lifetime ECL rate to calculate the ECLs. The aging of accounts

receivable is calculated from the date of recognition.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. For other receivables grouped by aging the aging

is calculated from the date of recognition.

transfers 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

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;

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;

(5) Impairment of financial assets (Cont’d)

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 are 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.SHANDONG CHENMING PAPER HOLDINGS LIMITED 99

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.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. Inventories

(1) Classification of inventories

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

and consumable biological assets etc.

(2) Pricing of inventories dispatched

Inventories of the 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.

13. Inventories (Cont’d)

(3) Recognition of and provision for inventory impairment

At the balance sheet date inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realisable value. If the net

realisable value is below the cost of inventories a provision for inventory impairment is made.Net realisable value refers to the amount of the estimated price of inventories less the estimated cost incurred

upon completion estimated sales expenses and taxes and levies. The realisable value of inventories shall be

determined on the basis of definite evidence purpose of holding the inventories and effect of after-balance-sheet

date events.The Company usually makes provisions for inventory impairment on the basis of individual inventory items;

however for inventories with large quantities and lower unit prices these inventories are accrued impairment

according to inventory categories.

(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.

14. 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.SHANDONG CHENMING PAPER HOLDINGS LIMITED 101

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

For a long-term equity investment accounted for using the equity method where the initial investment cost

exceeds the investor’s interest in the fair value of the investee’s identifiable net assets at the acquisition date no

adjustment shall be made to the investment cost of the long-term equity investment. Where the initial investment

cost is less than the investor’s interest in the fair value of the investee’s identifiable net assets at the acquisition

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

be charged to profit or loss for the current period.Under the equity method investment gain and other comprehensive income shall be recognised based on the

Company’s share of the net profits or losses and other comprehensive income made by the investee respectively.Meanwhile the carrying amount of long-term equity investment shall be adjusted. The carrying amount of long-

term equity investment shall be reduced based on the Group’s share of profit or cash dividend distributed by

the investee. In respect of the other movement of net profit or loss other comprehensive income and profit

distribution of investee the carrying amount of long-term equity investment shall be adjusted and included in

the capital reserves (other capital reserves). The Group shall recognise its share of the investee’s net profits or

losses based on the fair values of the investee’s individual separately identifiable assets at the time of acquisition

after making appropriate adjustments thereto according to the accounting policies and accounting periods of the

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.

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

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.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% (exclusive) 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 can impose significant influence in this situation.

15. 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. 23.When an investment property is sold transferred retired or damaged the amount of proceeds on disposal of the

property net of the carrying amount and related tax and surcharges is recognised in profit or loss for the current period.

16. Fixed assets

(1) Conditions for recognition of fixed assets

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.

(2) Depreciation method of fixed assets

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:

Annual

depreciation

Category Useful life (year) Residual value (%) rate (%)

Housing and building structure 20-40 5-10 2.25-4.75

Machinery and equipment 8-20 5-10 4.50-11.88

Transportation equipment 5-8 5-10 11.25-19.00

Electronic equipment and others 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. 23.

(4) The Company will review 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.

17. 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.For technological transformation or new machine-made paper projects the projects will be put into trial operation for a

period of time (usually three months) upon completion of construction. After the internal acceptance is completed during

the trial operation period the construction in progress will be transferred to fixed assets.The method for impairment provision of construction in progress is set out in Note V. 23.

18. Materials for project

The materials for project of the Group refer to various materials prepared for construction in progress including

construction materials equipment not yet installed and tools for production.The purchased materials for project are measured at cost and the planning materials for project are transferred to

construction in progress. After the completion of the project the remaining materials for project are transferred to

inventory.The method for impairment provision of materials for project is set out in Note V. 23.The closing balance of materials for project is presented as “construction in progress” item in the balance sheet.SHANDONG CHENMING PAPER HOLDINGS LIMITED 105

19. 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; and

* 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.

(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.

20. Bearer biological assets

(1) Standards for recognising bearer biological assets

Bearer biological assets refer to biological assets held for the purpose of producing agricultural products

providing labour services or renting. The Company’s bearer biological assets are mainly tea trees. Bearer

biological assets are initially measured at cost. The cost of a planted or propagated bearer biological asset

includes the expenses directly attributable to the asset and necessarily incurred before the asset is ready for its

intended production and operation including the borrowing costs that are eligible for capitalisation.The management protection and feeding costs of a biological asset subsequent to crown closure or after the

asset is ready for its intended production and operation are expensed and recognised in profit or loss as incurred.According to experience the tea trees grown by the Company generally take 7 years to reach the crown closure

stage.Depreciation of bearer biological assets is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life

of each biological asset less its residual value as follows:

Annual

depreciation

Type of bearer biological assets Useful life (year) Residual value (%) rate (%)

Tea tree 20 5.00

The Company reviews the useful life and estimated net residual value of a bearer biological asset and the

depreciation method applied at least at each financial year-end. A change in the useful life or estimated net

residual value of a fixed asset or the depreciation method used shall be accounted for as a change in accounting

estimate.The difference between the disposal income of the sale loss death or damage of a bearer biological asset net of

its carrying amount and related taxes is recognised in profit or loss for the current period.

21. Intangible assets

The intangible assets of the Company include land use rights software patents 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:

The basis for

Category Useful life determining useful life Method of amortisation Remark

Land use rights 50-70 Years of certificate Straight-line method

Software 5-10 Estimated years for Straight-line method

software replacement

Patents 5-20 Useful life of purchase Straight-line method

Certificates of third party right 3 Useful life of purchase 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. 23.

22. R&D expenses

The R&D expenses of the Company are expenses directly related to the R&D activities of the Company including the

wages R&D staff direct investment costs depreciation expenses and long-term prepaid expenses design expenses

equipment testing expenses amortisation expenses of intangible assets and outsourced R&D expenses and other

expenses. Among them the wages of R&D staff are included in R&D expenses based on working hours of related

projects. Equipment production lines and sites shared between R&D activities and other production and operation

activities are included in R&D expenses according to the proportion of working hours and the proportion of area.The Company divides the expenses on internal R&D projects into expenses in the research phase and expenses in the

development phase.Expenses in the research phase are recognised in profit or loss when incurred.Expenses in the development phase will only be capitalised if they meet all of the following conditions: it is technically

feasible to complete the intangible asset for use or sale; there is an intention to complete and use or sell the intangible

asset; the intangible asset will generate economic benefits including demonstrating that there is a market for the

products produced using the intangible asset or for the intangible asset itself and if the intangible asset is to be used

internally its usefulness can be demonstrated; there are sufficient technical financial and other resources to support the

completion of the development of the intangible asset and the ability to use or sell the intangible asset; the expenses

attributable to the development phase of the intangible asset can be reliably measured. Development expenses that do

not meet the above conditions are included in profit or loss for the period.

transferred to intangible assets from the date the project is put to its intended use.All R&D expenses of the Company are included in the current profits and losses when incurred.

23. Asset impairment

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

investment property fixed assets construction in progress bearer biological assets measured at cost 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

intended use will be tested for impairment annually regardless of whether there is any indication of impairment.The recoverable amount of an asset is the higher of its fair value less costs of disposal and the present value of the

future cash flows expected to be derived from the asset. The 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 Company 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.

24. 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.SHANDONG CHENMING PAPER HOLDINGS LIMITED 109

25. Employee benefits

(1) Scope of employee benefits

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

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

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

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

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

the balance sheet respectively according to liquidity.

(2) Short-term staff remuneration

Employee wages 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.

(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 Company pays fixed contributions into

a separate fund and the Company 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.

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

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

included in the current profit and loss or the relevant costs of assets.

26. Provisions

Obligations pertinent to the contingencies which satisfy the following conditions are recognised by the Company 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.SHANDONG CHENMING PAPER HOLDINGS LIMITED 111

27. 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 on the commencement date of the

contract 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 economic 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 completion 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.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 or services 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 obtains all of the substantial risks and rewards of ownership of the

goods.* The customer has accepted the goods or services.* Other information indicates that the customer has obtained control of the goods.

27. Revenue (Cont’d)

(2) Specific methods

The Company’s revenue mainly comes from the following types of business: sales of goods and provision of

property services.Sales of goods

The Company produces and sells machine-made paper and raw materials electricity and steam papermaking

chemicals and other products.In terms of domestic sales revenue is recognised at a point in time when the control over the goods is transferred

after the Company has delivered the goods (other than electricity and steam) sold to the location as specified in

the contract and the customer has accepted the goods.In terms of overseas sales revenue is recognised on the day when the goods (other than electricity and steam)

sold are loaded on board and declared.The sales of electricity and steam by the Company are performance obligations performed within a certain

period. For sales of electricity the Company recognises revenue from sales of electricity based on the quantity of

electricity delivered to customers every month at a price agreed in the contract. For sales of steam the Company

recognises revenue from sales of steam based on the amount of steam delivered to customers every month at a

price agreed in the contract.The credit periods granted by the Company to customers in various industries are consistent with the practices of

various industries therefore there is no significant financing component.The Company provides product quality assurance for the sales of products and recognises corresponding

provisions. The Company does not provide any additional services or additional quality assurance so the product

quality assurance does not constitute a separate fulfilment obligation.The Company’s cooperation model with distributors is outright sales and the recognition of sales revenue under

the distribution model is consistent with the direct sales model.Certain contracts between the Company and its customers contain arrangements on sales rebates which will give

rise to variable consideration. The Company determines the best estimates on the variable consideration based on

expected values or the most probable amount provided that transaction prices including variable consideration

shall not exceed the cumulative amount of recognised revenue upon the removal of relevant uncertainties in

connection with which a significant reversal is highly unlikely.For sales of machine-made paper with sales return clauses the revenue recognised is subject to the cumulative

amount of recognised revenue in connection with which a significant reversal is highly unlikely. The Company

recognises the liabilities according to the expected amount of refund and recognises the carrying amount of the

goods returned at the time of transfer deducting the estimated cost of recovering the goods as an asset (including

the loss of the value of the returned goods).SHANDONG CHENMING PAPER HOLDINGS LIMITED 113

27. Revenue (Cont’d)

(2) Specific methods (Cont’d)

Provision of property services

The Company provides property services to external parties. Since the customers obtain and consume the

economic benefits brought by the Company’s performance of the contract while the Company performs the

contract the Company recognises revenue according to the progress of the contract performance. Since the

performance progress occurs evenly the Company recognises revenue by amortising on a straight-line basis over

the service period.For assets that have not experienced credit impairment the Company determines its interest income based on

the amount of the book balance of the financial asset (i.e. without considering the impact of impairment) multiplied

by the effective interest rate.There are two cases for financial assets with credit impairment:

For financial assets that are not credit-impaired when purchased or originated but are credit-impaired in

subsequent periods the Company shall in the subsequent periods when impairment occurs determine its

income based on the amount of the amortised cost of the financial asset (i.e. the book balance minus the accrued

impairment) multiplied by the effective interest rate (the effective interest rate determined at the time of initial

recognition which does not change due to the occurrence of impairment).For financial assets that are credit-impaired when purchased or originated the Company shall upon initial

recognition determines its income based on the amount of the amortised cost of the financial asset multiplied

by the credit-adjusted effective interest rate (i.e. the interest rate at which the projected future cash flows after

impairment are discounted to the amortised cost at the time of purchase or origination).

28. Contract costs

Contract costs are either the incremental costs of obtaining a contract or the costs to fulfil a contract.Incremental costs of obtaining a contract are those costs that the Company incurs to obtain a contract that it would not

have incurred if the contract had not been obtained e.g. sales commission. The Company recognises the incremental

costs of obtaining a contract as an asset if it expects to recover those costs. Other costs of obtaining a contract other

than incremental costs that are expected to be recovered are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they are

incurred.If the costs to fulfil a contract are not within the scope of inventories or other ASBEs the Company recognises an asset

from the costs incurred to fulfil a contract only if those costs meet all of the following criteria:

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

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

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

* the costs enhance resources of the Company that will be used in satisfying performance obligations in the future;

* the costs are expected to be recovered.Assets recognised for the costs of obtaining a contract and assets recognised for the costs to fulfil a contract (the “assetsrelated to contract costs”) are amortised on the same basis as the related goods or services revenue and recognised in

profit or loss for the current period. If the amortisation period does not exceed one year it shall be recognised in profit

or loss for the current period.The Company recognises an impairment loss by providing for the excess amount to the extent that the carrying amount

of an asset related to contract costs exceeds the difference between:

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

which the asset relates;

* the cost estimated to be happened for the transfer of related goods or services.SHANDONG CHENMING PAPER HOLDINGS LIMITED 115

29. 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 or used to offset related costs; 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 or used to offset related costs. 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 or used to offset related costs relying on

the essence of economic business; otherwise recognised in non-operating income or used to offset non-operating

expenses.For the repayment of a government grant already recognised if the carrying amount of relevant assets was written off

at initial recognition the carrying amount of the assets shall be adjusted; if there is any related deferred income the

repayment shall be offset 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 directly in profit or loss for the current

period.

30. Deferred income tax assets and 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 arising from a business combination which

is adjusted against the carrying amount of goodwill and deferred tax related to transactions or events that are directly

recognised in owners’ equity which are recognised in owners’ equity.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.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 when the transaction occurs (other than a

single transaction that the initially recognised assets and liabilities result in an equal amount of taxable temporary

differences and deductible temporary differences);

(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 when the

transaction occurs (other than a single transaction that the initially recognised assets and liabilities result in an

equal amount of taxable temporary differences and deductible temporary differences);

(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.SHANDONG CHENMING PAPER HOLDINGS LIMITED 117

30. Deferred income tax assets and deferred income tax liabilities (Cont’d)

At the balance sheet date deferred income tax assets and deferred income tax liabilities are presented as the net

amount after offsetting when the following conditions are met at the same time:

(1) The tax payer within the Company has the legal right to settle current income tax assets and current income tax

liabilities on a net basis;

(2) Deferred income tax assets and deferred income tax liabilities are related to income taxes levied by the same tax

collection and administration authority on the same taxpayer within the Company.

31. Leases

(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.

(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. 32.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 recognised in profit or loss for the period in which they actually

arise.

(2) The Company as lessee (Cont’d)

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

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.SHANDONG CHENMING PAPER HOLDINGS LIMITED 119

(3) The Company as lessor

When the Company is a lessor a lease is recognised 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

recognised as operating leases.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 for the current period 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 as the book value of the lease asset; * 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 the Accounting Standard for Business Enterprises No. 21 –

Lease.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; the lessor shall not 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.

32. Right-of-use assets

(1) 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.

(2) 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.

(3) For the methods of impairment test and impairment provision of right-of-use assets please refer to Note V. 23.

33. Production safety expenses and maintenance costs

According to relevant provisions the Company makes provisions for production safety expenses based on the revenue

of the power plant in the previous year and the prescribed percentages. The specific provisions are as follows: * if

the revenue of the previous year did not exceed RMB10 million provisions would be made at 3%; * if the revenue of

the previous year exceeded RMB10 million but did not exceed RMB100 million provisions would be made at 1.5%; *

if the revenue of the previous year exceeded RMB100 million but did not exceed RMB1000 million provisions would

be made at 1%; * if the revenue of the previous year exceeded RMB1000 million but did not exceed RMB5000

million provisions would be made at 0.8%; * if the revenue of the previous year exceeded RMB5000 million but did

not exceed RMB10000 million provisions would be made at 0.6%; * if the revenue of the previous year exceeded

RMB10000 million provisions would be made at 0.2%.Provisions for production safety expenses and maintenance costs are included in the cost of related products or profit

or loss of the current period and are included in “special reserves” correspondingly.When the provisions for production safety expenses and maintenance costs are utilised within the prescribed scope

if such production safety expenses are applied and related to revenue expenditures specific reserve is directly offset.When fixed assets are incurred they are included in the “construction in progress” item and transferred to fixed assets

when the status of the assets is ready for intended use. They are then offset against specific reserve based on the

amount included in fixed assets while corresponding amount is recognised in accumulated depreciation. Such fixed

assets are no longer depreciated in subsequent periods.

34. Debt restructuring

(1) The Company as the debtor

The debt is derecognised when the current obligation of the debt is discharged. Specifically when the uncertainty

about the execution process and results of the debt restructuring agreement is eliminated the gains and losses

related to the debt restructuring are recognised.If debt restructuring is carried out by repaying debts with assets the Company shall derecognise the relevant

assets and the debts paid off when they meet the conditions for derecognition and the difference between the

book value of the debts paid off and the book value of the transferred assets shall be included in the current profit

and loss.If the debt is converted into equity instruments for debt restructuring the Company shall derecognise the debts

paid off when they meet the conditions for derecognition. When the Company initially recognises an equity

instrument it is measured based on the fair value of the equity instrument. If the fair value of the equity instrument

cannot be measured reliably it is measured based on the fair value of the debt paid off. The difference between

the book value of the debts paid off and the recognised amount of the equity instrument shall be included in the

current profit and loss.When a debt restructuring involves the modification of other terms of a debt the Company shall recognise and

measure the restructured debts in accordance with the Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises No. 22 –

Recognition and Measurement of Financial Instruments and the Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises

No. 37 – Presentation of Financial Instruments.When a debt is settled by multiple assets or combination of various methods in a debt restructuring the Company

shall recognise and measure the equity instruments and restructured debts in accordance with the aforementioned

methods and the difference between the book value of the debts paid off and the sum of the book value of the

transferred assets and the recognised amount of the equity instruments and restructured debts shall be included

in the current profit and loss.

(2) The Company as the creditor

The debt receivable are derecognised when the contractual rights to receive the cash flows under the debt

receivable expire. Specifically when the uncertainty about the execution process and results of the debt

restructuring agreement is eliminated the gains and losses related to the debt restructuring are recognised.If debt restructuring is carried out by repaying debts with assets the Company shall initially recognise assets

other than the transferred financial assets at cost. In particular the cost of inventories includes the fair value of the

debt receivable and any directly attributable expenditure including taxes transportation costs handling costs

insurance and other costs for bringing the assets to the current position and condition; the cost of investment in

associates or joint ventures includes the fair value of the debt receivable and any directly attributable expenditure

including taxes; the cost of investment property includes the fair value of the debt receivable and any directly

attributable expenditure including taxes; the cost of fixed assets includes the fair value of the debt receivable

and any directly attributable expenditure including taxes transportation costs handling costs installation costs

professional service fees and other costs for bringing the assets to the status for intended use; the cost of

intangible assets includes the fair value of the debt receivable and any directly attributable expenditure including

taxes for bringing the assets to the status for intended use. The difference between the fair value and the book

value of the debt receivable is included in the current profit and loss.When the debt restructuring causes the Company to convert the debt receivable to an equity investment of joint

ventures or associates the Company shall measure the initial investment cost based on the sum of the fair value

of debt receivable and any directly attributable taxes and other costs of the investment. The difference between

the fair value and the book value of the debt receivable is included in the current profit and loss.When a debt restructuring involves the modification of other terms of a debt the Company recognises and

measures the restructured debt receivable in accordance with the Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises

No. 22 – Recognition and Measurement of Financial Instruments.When a debt is settled by multiple assets or combination of various methods in a debt restructuring the Company

first recognises and measures the financial assets received and restructured debt receivable in accordance

with the Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises No. 22 – Recognition and Measurement of Financial

Instruments and then allocates the net value which is the fair value of the debt receivable deducted by the

recognised amount of financial assets received and restructured debt receivable to the costs of non-financial

assets received based on their relative fair value. The difference between the fair value and the book value of the

debt receivable is included in the current profit and loss.SHANDONG CHENMING PAPER HOLDINGS LIMITED 123

35. 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:

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 amount of future

taxable profits together with future tax planning strategies.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.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

V. Significant Accounting Policies and Accounting Estimates (Cont’d)

35. Critical accounting judgments and estimates (Cont’d)

Impairment of goodwill

The Company assesses the impairment of goodwill at least annually which requires estimates of the use value of asset

groups allocated with goodwill. When estimating the use value the Company is required to estimate the future cash

flows from such asset groups while selecting the appropriate discount rate to calculate the present value of future cash

flows.Impairment of inventories

On the balance sheet date the Company determines the net realisable value of its inventories based on the estimated

selling prices of the inventories less costs estimated to be incurred upon completion estimated selling expenses and

related taxes. The realisable value of inventories shall be determined on the basis of definite evidence purpose of

holding the inventories and effect of after-balance-sheet-date events. If the net realisable value is below the cost of

inventories a provision for inventory impairment is made.Impairment of fixed assets and long-term equity investments

The Company assesses the impairment of fixed assets and long-term equity investments at least annually. When any

event or change in circumstances indicates that the carrying amount may not be recoverable the carrying amount of

such project is reviewed for impairment. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount impairment

loss is recognised for the difference. The recoverable amount is determined as the higher of the asset’s fair value less

costs of disposal and the present value of the asset’s estimated future cash flows. A number of assumptions are made

in estimating the recoverable amount of assets including future cash flows and discount rates relating to non-current

assets. If future events differ from these assumptions the recoverable amount shall be revised which may have an

impact on the operations or financial position of the Company.

Explanation: All the accounts receivable financing of the Company were bank acceptance bills. Since the terms

of the bank acceptance bills did not exceed one year and both parties to the endorsement of the bills agreed to

offset equal amounts of accounts receivable and payable based on the face value of the bills fair value equalled

amortised cost.Certain subsidiaries of the Company discount and endorse part of the bank acceptance bills based on their daily

capital management needs. Therefore the bank acceptance bills of the subsidiaries are classified as financial

assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income.The Company has no bank acceptance bill assessed individually for impairment provision. At the end of the

period the Company believed that there was no significant credit risk in the bank acceptance bills held and no

major losses would be incurred due to default of banks.

(3) Market risk

Market risk including interest rate risk exchange rate risk and other price risks 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 closely monitors the interest rate position of the Company. The Company did not enter into any

interest rate hedging arrangements. However the management is responsible to monitor the risks of interest

rate and consider to hedge significant interest risk if necessary. Increase in interest rates will increase the cost

of new borrowing and the interest expenses with respect to the 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 RMB’0000):

Interest rate risk (Cont’d)

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 rate 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 USD EUR HKD and JPY).The following table details the financial assets and liabilities held by the Company which were denominated in

foreign currencies and amounted to RMB as at the end of the period are as follows (in RMB’0000):

Other price risks

Other price risks refer to the risk of fluctuations caused by changes in market prices other than exchange rate

risks and interest rate risks whether arising from factors related to a single financial instrument or its issuer or

from factors related to all similar financial instruments traded on the market. Other price risks can stem from

changes in commodity prices stock market indexes equity instrument prices and other risk variables.Listed equity instrument investments held by the Company classified as financial assets held for trading other

non-current financial assets and other equity instrument investments are measured at fair value on the balance

sheet date. Therefore the Company is subject to the risk of changes in the securities market.The Company monitors closely the impact of price changes on the price risk of the Company’s investment in

equity securities. Currently the Company has not taken any measures to avoid other price risks. However the

management is responsible for monitoring other price risks and will consider holding multiple equity securities

portfolios to reduce the price risk of equity securities investment when necessary.With other variables unchanged the after-tax effect of the change of -27.12% (prior year: 4.11%) in equity
