(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 (or the aggregate

nominal value of shares issued as consideration) and the carrying amount of the net assets obtained in the

combination is charged to the capital reserve (share capital premium/capital premium). If the capital reserve (share

capital premium/capital premium) is not sufficient to absorb the difference any excess shall be adjusted against

retained earnings.Business combinations involving entities under common control and achieved in stages

In the separate financial statements the initial investment cost is calculated based on the shareholding portion

of the assets and liabilities obtained and are measured at the carrying amounts as recorded by the party being

merged at the combination date. The difference between the initial investment cost and the sum of the carrying

amount of the original investment cost prior to the combination and the carrying amount of consideration paid for

the combination is adjusted to the capital reserve (share capital premium/capital premium) if the capital reserve is

not sufficient to absorb the difference the excess difference shall be adjusted to retained earnings.In the consolidated financial statements the assets and liabilities of the party being merged that are obtained

at the combination by the absorbing party shall be measured at the carrying value as recorded by the ultimate

controlling party in the consolidated financial statements at combination date. The difference between the sum

of the carrying value from original shareholding portion and the new investment cost incurred at combination

date and the carrying value of net assets obtained at combination date shall be adjusted to capital reserve (share

capital premium/capital premium) if the balance of capital reserve is not sufficient to absorb the differences

any excess is adjusted to retained earnings. The long-term investment prior to the absorbing party obtaining

the control of the party being merged the recognised profit or loss comprehensive income and other change

of owners’ equity at the closer date of the acquisition date and combination date under common control shall

separately offset the opening balance of retained earnings and profit or loss during comparative statements.

(2) Business combination not under common control

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

(Cont’d)

(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

In the separate financial statements the initial investment cost of the investment is the sum of the carrying amount

of the equity investment held by the entity prior to the acquisition date and the additional investment cost at the

acquisition date. The disposal accounting policy of other comprehensive income related with equity investment

prior to the acquisition date recognised under equity method shall be compliance with the method when the

acquiree disposes the related assets or liabilities. Owners’ equity due to the changes of other owners’ equity other

than the changes of net profit other comprehensive income and profit distribution shall be transferred to profit or

loss for current period when disposed of. If the equity investment held by the entity prior to the acquisition date is

measured at fair value the cumulative changes in fair value recognised in other comprehensive income shall be

transferred to retained earnings for current period when accounted for using cost method.In the consolidation financial statements the combination cost is the sum of consideration paid at acquisition date

and fair value of the acquiree’s equity investment held prior to acquisition date. The cost of equity of the acquiree

held prior to acquisition date shall be remeasured at the fair value at acquisition date 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

6. Preparation of consolidated financial statements

(1) Scope of consolidation

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

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

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

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

investee a structured entity etc.).

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 measured at fair value on the date when the control is lost. The difference arising from

the sum of consideration received for disposal of equity interest and the fair value of remaining equity interest

over the 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 transferred to current

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

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

9. Foreign currency operations and translation of statements denominated in foreign currency

(1) Foreign currency operations

The foreign currency operations of the Company are translated into the functional currency at the prevailing spot

exchange rate on the date of exchange.On the balance sheet date foreign currency monetary items shall be translated at the spot exchange rate on

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

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

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

cost shall still be measured by the functional currency translated at the spot exchange rate on the date of the

transaction. Foreign currency non-monetary items measured at fair value are translated at the spot exchange

rate on the date of determination of the fair value. The difference between the amounts of the functional currency

before and after the translation will be recognised in profit or loss or other comprehensive income for the period

based on the nature of the non-monetary items.

10. Financial instruments

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

instrument of another party.

(1) Recognition and derecognition of financial instruments

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

new financial liabilities shall be recognised.Conventionally traded financial assets shall be recognised and derecognised at the trading date.

(2) Classification and measurement of financial assets

The Company classifies the financial assets according to the business model for managing the financial assets

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

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

through profit or loss.Financial assets measured at amortised cost

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

at fair value through 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 23

(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 measured at fair value through profit or loss (Cont’d)

All affected financial assets are reclassified on the first day of the first reporting period following the change in

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

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

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

are initially recognised based on the transaction price expected to be entitled by the Company.

(3) Classification and measurement of financial liabilities

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

period.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 25

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. 11.

(5) Impairment of financial assets

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

Financial assets measured at amortised cost;

Receivables and debt investments measured at fair value through other comprehensive income;

Contract assets as defined in the Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises No. 14 – Revenue;

Lease receivables;

Financial guarantee contracts (except those measured at fair value through profit or loss or formed by continuing

involvement of transferred financial assets or the transfer does not qualify for derecognition).

Measurement of ECLs

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

instrument did not increase significantly upon initial recognition it is at the first stage and the Company makes

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

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

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

instrument incurred credit impairment upon initial recognition it is at the third stage and the Company makes

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

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

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

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

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

the balance sheet date and is a portion of lifetime ECLs.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.SHANDONG CHENMING PAPER HOLDINGS LIMITED 27

Bills receivable accounts receivable and contract assets

For bills receivable accounts receivable and contract assets regardless of whether there is a significant financing

component the Company always makes provision for impairment at an amount equal to lifetime ECLs.When the Company is unable to assess the information of ECLs for an individual financial asset at a reasonable

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

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

A. Bills receivable

Bills receivable portfolio 1: Bank acceptance bills

Bills receivable portfolio 2: Commercial acceptance bills

B. Accounts receivable

Accounts receivable portfolio 1: Due from related party customers

Accounts receivable portfolio 2: 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/overdue days of accounts receivable and the lifetime ECL rate to calculate the ECLs.Other receivables

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

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

Other receivables portfolio 1: Amount due from government authorities

Other receivables portfolio 2: Amount due from related parties

Other receivables portfolio 3: Other receivables

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

and the ECL rate over the next 12 months or the entire lifetime.

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;

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

debtor.

Presentation of provisions for ECLs

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

which the recovery occurs.

(6) Transfer of financial assets

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

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

transferee the financial asset shall be derecognised. If the Company retains substantially all the risks and rewards

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

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

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

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

financial asset and the relevant liability is recognised accordingly.

(7) Offset of financial assets and financial liabilities

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

which are enforceable currently and the Company plans to realise the financial assets or to clear off the financial

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

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

separately in the balance sheet without offsetting.SHANDONG CHENMING PAPER HOLDINGS LIMITED 31

11. 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.

12. 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.

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

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

cost incurred upon completion estimated sales expenses and taxes and levies. The realisable value of inventories

shall be determined on the basis of definite evidence purpose of holding the inventories and effect of after-

balance-sheet-date events.At the balance sheet date provision for inventory impairment is made when the cost is higher than the net

realisable value. The Company usually make provision for inventory impairment based on categories of inventories.At the balance sheet date in case the factors causing inventory impairment no longer exists the original provision

for inventory impairment shall be reversed.

(4) Inventory stock taking system

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

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

The low-value consumables of the Company are amortised when issued for use.Packaging materials for turnover are amortised when issued for use.

13. Long-term equity investments

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

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

(1) Determination of initial investment cost

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

acquired by issuing equity securities the initial investment cost shall be the fair value of equity securities issued.SHANDONG CHENMING PAPER HOLDINGS LIMITED 33

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

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

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

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

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

period except the case of receiving the actual consideration paid for the investment or the declared but not yet

distributed cash dividends or profits which is included in the consideration.For a long-term equity investment accounted for using the equity method where the initial investment cost

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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% 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.

14. Investment property

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

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

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

measurement please refer to Note V. 22.When an investment property is sold transferred retired or damaged the amount of proceeds on disposal of the

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

15. Fixed assets

(1) Conditions for recognition 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 by category 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:

Useful lives of Estimated residual Annual depreciation

Category depreciation (Year) 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. 22.

(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.

16. Construction in progress

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

expenditures incurred for construction projects capitalised borrowing costs for the construction in progress before it

has reached the working condition for its intended use and other related expenses during the construction period.A construction in progress is reclassified to fixed assets when it has reached the working condition for its intended use.The method for impairment provision of construction in progress is set out in Note V. 22.

17. 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. 22.The closing balance of materials for project is presented as “construction in progress” item in the balance sheet.SHANDONG CHENMING PAPER HOLDINGS LIMITED 37

18. Borrowing costs

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

producing the qualifying assets;

* The borrowing costs have been incurred;

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

or sale has been started.

(2) Capitalisation period of borrowing costs

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

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

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

amount and included in the profit or loss for the current period.Capitalisation of borrowing costs shall be suspended during periods in which the acquisition construction or

production of a qualifying asset is interrupted abnormally when the interruption is for a continuous period of more

than 3 months. The capitalisation of the borrowing costs shall be continued in the normal interruption period.

(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.

19. Biological assets

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

labour services or renting including economic forests firewood forests productive livestock and draught animals. The

Company’s bearer biological assets are mainly tea trees. 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.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:

Estimated residual Annual depreciation

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

Tea tree 10 5% 9.50%

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.The method for impairment provision of bearer biological assets is set out in Note V. 22.

20. 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. 22.

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:

Type Useful life Method of amortisation Remark

Land use rights 50-70 Straight-line method

Software 5-10 Straight-line method

Patents 5-20 Straight-line method

Certificates of third party right 3 Straight-line method

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

each year. If it is different from the previous estimates the original estimates will be adjusted and will be treated as a

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

the company the carrying amount of the intangible asset will be entirely transferred into the profit or loss for the current

period.The impairment method for the intangible assets is set out in Note V. 22.

22. Long-term asset impairment

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

investment property fixed assets construction in progress bearer biological assets measured at cost right-of-use

assets intangible assets goodwill and others (excluding inventories investment property measured at fair value

deferred tax assets and financial assets) subsequently measured at cost is determined as follows:

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

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

arising from business combinations intangible assets with an indefinite useful life and intangible assets not ready for

use will be tested for impairment annually regardless of whether there is any indication of impairment.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.

22. Long-term asset impairment (Cont’d)

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.

23. 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.

24. Contract liabilities

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

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

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

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

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

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

different contracts are not offset.

25. Employee benefits

(1) Scope of employee benefits

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

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

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

benefits include benefits provided to employees’ spouses children other dependants family members of

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

the balance sheet respectively according to liquidity.SHANDONG CHENMING PAPER HOLDINGS LIMITED 41

25. Employee benefits (Cont’d)

(2) Short-term staff remuneration

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

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

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

loss or included in the cost of assets where appropriate.

(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.Defined benefit plans

For defined benefit plans the actuarial valuation is carried out by an independent actuary on the annual balance

sheet date and the cost of providing benefits is determined by the expected cumulative benefit unit method. The

cost of staff remuneration arising from the Company’s defined benefit plans includes the following components:

* Service cost including current service cost past service cost and settlement gain or loss. In particular

the current service cost refers to the increase in the present value of obligations of defined benefit plans

arising from the service provided by staff in the current period; the past service cost refers to the increase or

decrease in the present value of obligations of defined benefit plans related to the service of the staff in the

previous period arising from the revision of defined benefit plans.* Net interest on net liabilities or net assets of defined benefit plans including interest income from the assets

under the plans interest expense arising from the obligations of defined benefit plans and interest affected

by asset caps.* Changes arising from the remeasurement of net liabilities or net assets of defined benefit plans.Unless other accounting standards require or allow costs of staff welfare to be included in costs of assets

the Company will include the above items * and * in the current profit and loss; and include item * in other

comprehensive income which will not be transferred back to profit or loss in subsequent accounting periods.When the original defined benefit plan is terminated all the part originally included in other comprehensive income

shall be transferred to retained profit within the scope of equity.

(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.

(5) Other long-term benefits

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

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

plans as stated above. If the conditions for defined benefit plans are met the benefits shall accounted for inaccordance with the relevant provisions relating to defined benefit plans but the “changes arising from theremeasurement of 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 43

27. Share-based payments and equity instruments

(1) Category of share-based payment

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

(2) Determination of fair value of equity instruments

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

expected to vest.

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

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

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

shall be included in the relevant costs or expenses and the capital reserve shall be increased accordingly.If the right may not be exercised until the vesting period comes to an end or until the specified performance

conditions are met on each balance sheet date within the vesting period the services obtained in the current

period shall based on the best estimate of the number of vested equity instruments be included in the relevant

costs or expenses and the capital reserve at the fair value of the equity instrument at the grant date. After the

vesting period relevant costs or expenses and total shareholders’ equity which have been recognised will not be

adjusted.Cash-settled share-based payment shall be measured in accordance with the fair value of liability calculated

and recognised based on the shares or other equity instruments undertaken by the Company. For those may

immediately vest after the grant the fair value of the liability undertaken by the Company shall on the date of the

grant be included in the relevant costs or expenses and the liabilities shall be increased accordingly. If the right

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

met on each balance sheet date within the vesting period the services obtained in the current period shall based

on the best estimate of the information about the exercisable right be included in the relevant costs or expenses

and the corresponding liabilities at the fair value of the liability undertaken by the Company. For each of the

balance sheet date and settlement date before the settlement of the relevant liabilities fair value of the liabilities

shall be remeasured and the changes will be included in the profit or loss for the current period.When there are changes in the Company’s share-based payment plans if the modification increases the fair value

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

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

the increase in fair value of the equity instruments is recognised as a corresponding increase in service achieved.An increase in the fair value of equity instruments refers to the difference between the fair values of the modified

date. If the modification reduces the total fair value of shares paid or not conductive to the use of other employees

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

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

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

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

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

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

the vesting period the Company will treat them as cancelled equity instruments granted.

28. Perpetual Bonds

(1) Classification of financial liabilities and equity instruments

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

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

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

recognition.

(2) Accounting treatment of Perpetual Bonds

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

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

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

expenditure or dividend distribution of the instrument based on the classification of the financial instrument issued.For financial instruments classified as equity instruments their interest expenses or dividend distributions are

treated as profit distribution of the Company and their repurchases and cancellations are treated as changes in

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

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

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

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

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

as equity instruments they are deducted from equity.

29. Revenue

(1) General principles

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

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

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

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

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

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

* when the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits provided by the Company when the

Company performs its obligations under the contract;

* when the customer is able to control the goods in progress in the course of performance by the Company

under the contract;

* when the goods produced by the Company under the contract are irreplaceable and the Company has the

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

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

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

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

can be reasonably determined.SHANDONG CHENMING PAPER HOLDINGS LIMITED 45

29. Revenue (Cont’d)

(1) General principles (Cont’d)

For performance obligation performed at a point of time the Company recognises revenue at the point of time at

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

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

* The Company has the current right to receive payment for the goods which is when the customer has the

current payment obligations for the goods.* The Company has transferred the legal title of the goods to the customer which is when the client

possesses the legal title of the goods.* The Company has transferred the physical possession of goods to the customer which is when the

customer obtains physical possession of the goods.* The Company has transferred all of the substantial risks and rewards of ownership of the goods to the

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

goods to the customer.* The customer has accepted the goods or services.* Other information indicates that the customer has obtained control of the goods.The Company’s right to consideration in exchange for goods or services that the Company has transferred to

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

and contract assets are subject to impairment based on ECLs (Note V. 10(5)). The Company’s unconditional

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

receivable. The Company’s obligation to transfer goods or services to customers for which the Company has

received or should receive consideration from customers is accounted for as contract liabilities.Contract assets and contract liabilities under the same contract are presented on a net basis. Where the net

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

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

(2) Specific methods

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

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

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

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

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

the property rental income on a straight-line basis over the lease term.The specific method for the Company to recognise revenue from electricity and steam: the sales of steam and

electricity by the Company are performance obligations performed at a point of time. 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 specific method for the Company to recognise revenue from construction materials moulds and paper

chemicals: revenue is recognised when goods are delivered to the customers and such deliveries are confirmed.

30. Contract costs

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

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

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

the incremental costs of obtaining a contract with a customer as an asset if it expects to recover those costs. Other

costs of obtaining a contract are expensed when incurred.If the costs to fulfil a contract with a customer are not within the scope of inventories or other 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 generate or enhance resources of the Company that will be used in satisfying (or in continuing to satisfy)

performance obligations in the future;

* the costs are expected to be recovered.Assets recognised for the incremental costs of obtaining a contract and assets recognised for the costs to fulfil a

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

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

period.The Company recognises an impairment loss in profit or loss to the extent that the carrying amount of an asset related

to contract costs exceeds:

* 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.The costs of contract performance recognised as assets if the amortisation period is less than one year or a normal

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

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

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

than one year or a normal operating cycle upon the initial recognition are presented as “other non-current assets” item.SHANDONG CHENMING PAPER HOLDINGS LIMITED 47

31. 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. 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.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 immediately in profit or loss for the

current period.

32. Deferred income tax assets/deferred income tax liabilities

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

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

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

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

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

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

following transactions:

(1) The initial recognition of goodwill and the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction which is neither

a business combination nor affects accounting profit or taxable profit (or deductible loss) when the transaction

occurs;

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

the Company is able to control the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference and it is probable that the

temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future.

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

The Company recognises a deferred income tax asset for the carry forward of deductible temporary differences

deductible losses and tax credits to subsequent periods to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits

will be available against which the deductible temporary differences deductible losses and tax credits can be utilised

except for those incurred in the following transactions:

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

when the transaction occurs;

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

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

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

will be available in the future against which the temporary difference can be utilised.At the balance sheet date deferred income tax assets and deferred income tax liabilities are measured at the tax

rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realised or the liability is settled and their tax effect is

reflected accordingly.At the balance sheet date the Company reviews the carrying amount of a deferred income tax asset. If it is probable

that sufficient taxable profits will not be available in future periods to allow the benefit of the deferred tax asset to be

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

becomes probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available.

33. Lease

(1) Identification of leases

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

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

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

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

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

(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. 20.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.SHANDONG CHENMING PAPER HOLDINGS LIMITED 49

33. Lease (Continued)

(2) The Company as lessee (Continued)

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 reassesses 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.

33. Lease (Continued)

(3) The Company as lessor

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

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

classified as operating leases.Finance leases

Under finance leases the Company accounts for finance lease receivables at the beginning of the lease term at

the net lease investment which is the sum of the unsecured residual value and the present value of the lease

receipts outstanding at the commencement date of the lease discounted at the interest rate implicit in the lease.The Company as lessor calculates and recognises interest income for each period of the lease term based on

a fixed periodic interest rate. Variable lease payments acquired by the Company as lessor that are not included

in the net measurement of lease investments are included in profit or loss for the period when they are actually

incurred.Derecognition and impairment of finance lease receivables are accounted for in accordance with the requirements

under the Accounting Standard for Business Enterprises No. 22 – Recognition and Measurement of Financial

Instruments and the Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises No. 23 – Transfer of Financial Assets.Operating lease

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

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

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

in the period in which they actually incurred.Lease modification

The Company accounts for a modification in an operating lease as a new lease from the effective date of the

modification and the amount of lease receipts received in advance or receivable in respect of the lease prior to the

modification is treated as a receipt under the new lease.The Company accounts for a modification in a finance lease as a separate lease when the change occurs and

the following conditions are met: * the modification expands the scope of lease by adding the right to use one

or more of the leased assets; and * the increase in consideration is equivalent to the separate price for the

expanded scope of lease adjusted for that contractual situation.Where a finance lease is modified and not accounted for as a separate lease the Company accounts for the

modified lease in the following circumstances: * If the modification takes effect on the lease commencement

date the lease will be classified as an operating lease the Company will account for it as a new lease from the

effective date of the lease modification and use the net lease investment before the effective date of the lease

modification; * If the modification takes effect on the lease commencement date the lease will be classified as a

finance lease and the Company will conduct accounting treatment in accordance with the Accounting Standards

for Business Enterprises No. 22 – Recognition and Measurement of Financial Instruments on modifying or

renegotiating contracts.SHANDONG CHENMING PAPER HOLDINGS LIMITED 51

33. Lease (Continued)

(4) Sublease

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

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

approach then the Company classifies the sublease as an operating lease.

(5) Sale and leaseback

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

transaction is a sale in accordance with the requirements of the Accounting Standard for Business Enterprises No.

14 – Revenue.

Where asset transfer under the sale and leaseback transactions is a sale the lessee shall measure the right-

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Enterprises No. 22 – Recognition and Measurement of Financial Instruments.

34. Production safety expenses

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 are included in the cost of related products or profit or loss of the current

period and 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.

35. Repurchase of shares

Prior to cancellation or transfer of shares repurchased the Company recognises all expenditures arising from share

repurchase as cost of treasury shares in the treasury share account. Considerations and transaction fee incurred from

the repurchase of shares shall lead to the elimination of owners’ equity and does not recognise profit or loss when

shares of the Company are repurchased transferred or cancelled.The difference between the actual amount received and the carrying amount of the treasury shares are recognised as

capital reserve when the treasury shares are transferred if the capital reserve is not sufficient to be offset the excess

amount shall be recognised to offset surplus reserve and retained profit. When the treasury shares are cancelled

the capital shall be eliminated according to the number of shares and par value of cancelled shares the difference

between the actual amount received and the carrying amount of the treasury shares are recognised as capital reserve

if the capital reserve is not sufficient to be offset the excess amount shall be recognised to offset surplus reserve and

retained profit.

36. Restricted shares

If the Company grants the restricted shares to incentive participants under an equity incentive plan the incentive

participants shall subscribe for the shares first. If the unlocking conditions stipulated in the equity incentive plan cannot

be fulfilled subsequently the Company repurchase the shares at the predetermined price. If the registration and other

capital increase procedures for the restricted shares issued to employees are completed in accordance with relevant

regulations the Company recognises share capital and capital reserve (or capital premium) based on the subscription

money received from the employees on the grant date; and recognises treasury shares and other payables for

repurchase obligation.

37. Critical accounting judgments and estimates

The Company gives continuous assessment on among other things the reasonable expectations of future events and

the critical accounting estimates and key assumptions adopted according to its historical experience and other factors.The critical accounting estimates and key assumptions that are likely to lead to significant adjustment risks of the

carrying amount of assets and liabilities for the next financial year are listed as follows:

Classification of financial assets

Significant judgements involved in determining the classification of financial assets include the analysis of business

models and contractual cash flow characteristics.Factors considered by the Company in determining the business model for a group of financial assets include how the

asset’s performance is evaluated and reported to key management personnel how risks are assessed and managed

and how the relevant management personnel are compensated.When the Company assesses whether the contractual cash flows of the financial assets are consistent with basic

lending arrangements the main judgements are described as below: whether the principal amount may change over

the life of the financial asset (for example if there are repayments of principal); whether the interest includes only

consideration for the time value of money credit risk other basic lending risks and a profit margin and cost. For

example whether the amount repaid in advance reflects only the outstanding principal and interest thereon as well as

reasonable compensation paid for early termination of the contract.SHANDONG CHENMING PAPER HOLDINGS LIMITED 53

37. Critical accounting judgments and estimates (Continued)

Measurement of the ECLs of accounts receivable

The Company calculates the ECLs of accounts receivable using the exposure to default risk and ECL rate of accounts

receivable and determines the ECL rate based on default probability and default loss rate. When determining the ECL

rate the Company adjusts its historical data by referring to information such as historical credit loss experience as well

as current situation and forward-looking information. When considering the forward-looking information indicators used

by the Company include the risk of economic downturn external market environment technology environment and

changes in customers. The assumptions relating to the ECL calculation are monitored and reviewed by the Company on

a regularly basis.Impairment of goodwill

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

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

from such asset groups while selecting the appropriate discount rate to calculate the present value of future cash flow.Deferred income tax assets

Deferred income tax assets are recognised for all unused tax losses to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit

will be available against which the losses can be utilised. Significant management judgement is required to determine

the amount of deferred income tax assets that can be recognised based upon the likely timing and level of future

taxable profits together with future tax planning strategies.Share-based payments

When calculating the liabilities and expenses related to the equity incentive plan the management of the Company is

required to make judgments and estimates on issues such as the turnover rate and vesting conditions. Differences in

the judgments and estimates will have a material effect on the financial statements.

The Company assessed the recoverable amount of goodwill and determined that the goodwill related to the

Company’s plastic business was not impaired. With the category of the principal activities as the basis for

determining the reporting segments the Company regarded Kunshan Tuoan Plastic Products Co. Ltd. and

Jiangxi Chenming Port Co. Ltd. as an asset group. The recoverable amount was determined based on the present

value of the estimated future cash flows.Future cash flows were determined based on the financial budget for 2023 to 2027 as approved by the

management and adopted 7.28% as the discount rate which was the interest rate of the 5-year bonds issued by

the Company in 2018. The cash flows for more than 5 years are calculated based on the growth rate of 5%. Other

key assumptions used in estimating future cash flows included the estimated sales and gross profit based on the

performance of such asset group in the past and the expectation to market development by the management. The

management believed that any reasonable change in the above assumptions will not result in the total book value

of the asset group Kunshan Tuoan Plastic Products Co. Ltd. exceeding its recoverable amount.

Changes (increase or decrease) in other equity instruments during the period the reasons for such changes and

the basis for relevant accounting treatment:

The Company issued medium-term notes amounting to RMB1000 million on 12 July 2017 at a coupon rate of

6.80%. The proceeds net of issue costs amounted to RMB996.00 million.

The notes are debts without a defined maturity date and will continue indefinitely until the exercise of the right

of redemption by the Company. The interest rate of the bills is determined by the basic interest rate + the initial

interest rate + 300BP. It has the feature of capped interest rates and the capped interest rate does not exceed the

average interest rate level of the same type of instruments in the same industry in the same period; The Company

has the right to defer any payment of interest. The right of redemption of the notes is vested in the Company so

that it is up to the Company to decide whether to redeem or not; the priority of repayment of the principal and

interest of medium-term notes for the period is the same as other outstanding debt financing instruments of the

issuers in the event of winding up because there is low probability of bankruptcy that the Company will not be

liable for contractual obligations to deliver cash or other financial assets expected.Based on the above the notes do not contain any term giving rise to any contractual obligation to deliver cash

or other financial assets to any other entity or to exchange any financial asset or financial liability with any other

entity under potential adverse circumstances. Consequently they are eligible to be recognised and accounted for

as equity instruments and included under other equity – Perpetual Bonds.

Other explanations including changes (increase or decrease) during the period and reasons for such changes:

Based on the performance in the first half of 2023 the management of the Company estimated that the performance

indicators for 2023 cannot be fulfilled and the corresponding third batch of the 30% Restricted Shares cannot be

unlocked. Accordingly the capital reserve of RMB27467521.92 recognised in previous years was written off according

to the cancellation treatment.SHANDONG CHENMING PAPER HOLDINGS LIMITED 91

(3) Market risk

Market risk includes interest rate risk and currency risk refers to the risk that the fair value or future cash flow of a

financial instrument will be fluctuated due to the changes in market price.Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk refers to the risk that the fair value or future cash flow of a financial instrument will be fluctuated

due to the floating rate. Interest rate risk arises from recognised interest-bearing financial instrument and

unrecognised financial instrument (e.g. loan commitments).The Company’s interest rate risk arises from long-term interest-bearing liabilities including long-term borrowing

and bonds payable. Financial liabilities issued at floating rate expose the Company to cash flow interest rate

risk. Financial liabilities issued at fixed rate expose the Company to fair value interest rate risk. The Company

determines the relative proportions of its fixed rate and floating rate contracts depending on the prevailing market

conditions and to maintain an appropriate combination of financial instruments at fixed rate and floating rate

through regular reviews and monitors.The Company continuously monitors the interest rate position of the Company. The Company did not enter

into any interest rate hedging arrangements. But the management is responsible to monitor the risks of interest

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

of new borrowing and the interest expenses with respect to the Company’s outstanding floating rate interest-

bearing borrowings and therefore could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial result. The

management will make adjustments with reference to the latest market conditions. These adjustments may

include enter into interest swap agreement to mitigate its exposure to the interest rate risk.Interest bearing financial instrument held by the Company are as follows (in RMB’0000):

As at 30 June 2023 if the interest rates of borrowings at floating interest rates increase or decrease by 25 basis

points with all other factors remain unchanged the Company’s net profit and shareholders’ equity will increase or

decrease by RMB103707700 (31 December 2022: RMB105720100).The financial instruments held by the Company at the reporting date expose the Company to fair value interest

rate risk. This sensitivity analysis as above has been determined assuming that the change in interest rates had

occurred at the reporting date and arisen from the recalculation of the above financial instrument issued at new

interest rates. The non-derivative tools issued at floating interest rate held by the Company at the reporting date

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

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

revenue at the floating interest rate. The analysis is performed on the same basis for prior year.Exchange rate risk

Exchange risk refers to the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will be fluctuated

due to the changes in foreign currency rates. Foreign currency risk arises on financial instruments that are

denominated in a currency other than the functional currency in which they are measured.The principal business of the Company is situated within the PRC and is denominated in RMB. However foreign

exchange risks still exist for the assets and liabilities in foreign currencies and future foreign currency transactions

as recognised by the Company (assets and liabilities in foreign currencies and foreign currency transactions are

mainly denominated in US dollar Japanese yen South Korean Won Euro Hong Kong dollar and British pound).The following table details the financial assets and liabilities held by the Company which denominated in foreign

currencies and amounted to RMB as at 30 June 2023 are as follows (in RMB’0000):

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
