Appointment of Directors, members of the Supervisory Committee and senior management of the Company during the reporting period Varjak H. Tan was appointed as Secretary of the Board of Directors at the fourth meeting of the fifteenth Board held on 6 March 2009. IV. Directors’ Report 1. Management Discussion and Analysis Changes in operating environment and the Company’s judgment In 2008, the world encountered an economic crisis rarely seen in history. Consumer confidence in economic outlook, income and wealth growth had hit rock bottom, while the property market entered a period of adjustment, with property price moving downward. A large number of home purchasers had withhold their purchase plans, piling up substantial demand from end-users. Since the end of 2008, this piled up demand has started to unleash under the influence of several factors. These factors include: sharp decline in property prices in certain cities after significant market adjustment and corresponding increase in the purchasing power of property buyers; the promulgation of a series of policies to stabilise the property market since the beginning of the fourth quarter of 2008, including preferential terms for mortgage loans and home purchase tax, which further ease pressure on home buyers. In addition, effect of the State’s revitalization plan was reflected in the expectations of an improving economy. Owing to the impact of the abovementioned factors, the residential property market quickly rebounded from rock bottom in the first quarter of this year. Entering the second quarter, there were clear signs of a stable economy, indicating the effect of the moderately relaxed credit policy. The strengthened stock market produced positive effect on wealth, while inflation expectations, to some extent, also stimulated housing demand, leading to a robust residential property market. Demand for self-use housing remained the key driver of residential property sales during the reporting period. Over 80 per cent of the Company’s product sales were attributable to first time home purchasers buyers seeking an upgrade in living conditions. However, as market rebound was expected, different types of housing demand emerged. In the second quarter, the share of large units in the total sales volume increased.7 With the rise in transaction volume, the overall property price began to pick up. However, the price adjustment varied with each region, and certain districts started to see a relatively sharp rise in their housing prices. Such a price upsurge was mainly attributable to fast declining inventory levels and insufficient new supply in the short run, which is different from the excessive rise in housing prices in 2007 when the market was filled with overly optimistic sentiment. Statistics showed that housing price in major cities was relatively stable in the first quarter of 2009, and the market was in a stage of clearing inventory. In the second quarter of 2009, against the backdrop of rising transaction volume, housing inventory levels in various regions declined significantly. In addition, new housing supply was unable to meet market demand in the short run, due to decrease in housing construction by property developers as a result of the market adjustment in 2008. According to the statistics compiled by China Vanke based on its supply and sales of residential properties in 14 major cities, in the first half of 2009, the actual presales area to approved pre-sales area ratio of commodity housing in the 14 cities was 1.65 in average, which far exceeds 0.74 of the same period of 2008 and 1.23 of the same period of 2007. Driven by rising market confidence and sales rebound, enterprises’ investment appetite returned during the reporting period. Corporations accelerated the pace of project development, and unless a tremendous market change emerges, the market supply at the end of 2009 is expected to grow significantly. By that time, the problem of insufficient new housing supply will be alleviated. Since April and May, the land market has become more active. The frequent occurrence of failed auctions in 2008 has stopped and over 50% of the transactions were closed with premium. Scenes of intense bidding returned in core cities. Robust land market reflected rising confidence in enterprises and market and improvement in financial situation. Moreover, the quantity supplied of land in core cities has been consistently lower than the quantity of land used for residential property development and sales volume of housing. To certain extent, this has intensified competition for land, prompting speculations on the land price of certain projects. Thus, while China Vanke will be aggressive with respect to project acquisition, it will also adhere to a “careful selection” strategy. The Company will thoroughly consider price reasonableness and feasibility of risk management, and will make stringent assessment of project profitability. Although the market recovered quickly during the reporting period, China Vanke will not be lax in improving its operations. Taking a long-term perspective, an enterprise should rely on its management, innovation and ability to continue to generate profits for sustainable development instead of gains from the market. Facing the various uncertainties and new challenges of the macro environment, industry trends and competitions, the Company’s management will persevere with its established development strategy to enhance its professionalism, swift the Company’s development focus from “scale and speed” to “quality and efficiency”, in order to enhance its ability to create value for its shareholders. Company’s response and operating results During the reporting period, the Company’s revenue and net profit amounted to RMB20.6 billion and RMB2.52 billion respectively, representing increases of 26.5 per cent and 22.5 per cent from those of the same period of the previous year respectively. From January to June 2009, the Company realised sales area of 3,488,000 sq m, with a sales revenue of RMB30.76 billion, representing increases of 31.2 per cent and 27.5 per cent from those in the same period of the previous year respectively. Geographically, the Company realised a sales area of 1,101,000 sq m and a sales revenue of RMB10.44 billion in the Pearl River Delta region, representing increases of 46.3 per cent and 38.8 per cent when compared to those of the same period of previous year respectively. In the Yangtze River Delta region, the Company realised a sales area of 929,000 sq m and a sales revenue of RMB9.83 billion, representing increases of 1.4% and 0.5% when compared to those of the same period of previous year respectively. The Company realised a sales area of 1,026,000 sq m and a sales revenue of RMB7.47 billion in the Bohai-Rim region, representing increases of 64.2 per cent and 59.8 per cent when compared to those of the same period of previous year respectively. The other regions of the Company contributed a sales area of 431,000 sq m and a sales revenue of RMB3.01 billion, representing increases of 18.7 per cent and 40.3 per cent when compared to those of the same period of previous year respectively. In the first half of the year, the booked area and booked revenue of the Company amounted to 2,485,000 sq m and8 RMB20.39 billion respectively, representing increases of 19.4 per cent and 27.3 per cent from those of the same period last year respectively. At the end of the reporting period, the Company had an area of 4,091,000 sq m sold but not yet booked, which involved a total contract amount of approximately RMB32.18 billion. From January to June 2009, the Company’s booked gross margin dropped by 3.2 percentage points from that of the same period of previous year to 26.0 per cent. In the real estate industry, revenue recognition generally lags behind the developer’s incurring of land costs. The decline in booked gross margin reflected the rise of land premium in the previous years as well as the change in property price during the adjustment period in 2008.The Company’s management realised that a precise understanding of customer needs becomes increasingly important with the residential property sector exhibiting obvious traits of the manufacturing industry. Only by having an accurate analysis of customer needs can the Company allocate its construction costs more efficiently and effectively enhance market recognition of its product value. This is also one of the important steps for the Company’s major approaches in its move from scale and speed-oriented growth to quality and efficiency-oriented expansion. During the reporting period, the Company continued to intensify its cost control measures. It stepped up efforts to standardise regulation, extended the application of cost benchmarking, and increased the use of central purchasing to make purchases in order to benefit from bulk purchase. The results of the Company’s efforts made in improving cost control will be gradually reflected in the future. At the beginning of the reporting period, the Company proposed to lower its administrative expenses and distribution costs as a percentage of revenue in 2009 by 20% when compared with that of 2008. Through simplifying management process, adopting stringent control and supervision of expense budget, strengthening market and customers research in marketing, and modifying its advertising strategy. As a result, the Company’s administrative expenses and distribution costs in the first half of 2009 decreased by 30% and 22% respectively from those of the same period last year. The aggregate amount of administrative expenses and distribution costs as a percentage of revenue decreased by 42.0% from that of the same period last year. At the end of the reporting period, the Company, according to the latest market and sales situation, made an assessment of the projects for which provision for diminution in value was made at the end of 2008. At the end of the first quarter of 2009, the Company adjusted the provision for diminution in value of Jinyu Tixiang Project in Nanjing from RMB63.59 million to RMB49.57 million. According to the current situation, the Company further adjusted the provision for diminution in value of the project to RMB27.81 million. In addition, the provisions for diminution in value of Aureate City, Guangzhou, Hupo Junyuan, Shanghai, Golden City, Wuxi have all been reversed. The provision for diminution in value of Holiday Dew Garden, Tianjin has been adjusted from RMB70.23 million to RMB44.26 million. The aforementioned adjustments increased the profit attributable to equity holders of the Company by RMB162.34 million. The assessment of the other eight projects made at the end of 2008 remained unchanged.

In view of the rapid recovery of the market, the Company has adjusted its planned area for newly commenced construction for the year from 4.03 million sq m set at the beginning of the year to 5.85 million sq m, representing an increase of 45.2%. During the reporting period, the Company adhered to the principle of “careful selection and capturing opportunities”, and acquired 15 new projects, with a total planned gross floor area (the “GFA”) attributable to China Vanke’s equity holding of 3.332 million sq m. From the end of the reporting period to the date of the announcement of this report, a total planned GFA attributable to China Vanke’s equity holding increased by 814,000 sq m. Up to the date of announcement of this report, the aggregate increase in total planned GFA in proportion to China Vanke’s equity holding in 2009 was 4.146 million sq m. As at the date of announcement of this report, the GFA of the projects under planning in proportion to China Vanke’s equity holding amounted to 20.79 million sq m. Amid market rebound, sales in first tier cities recovered with remarkable speed and growth rate. Outlook for first tier cities was more optimistic. This led to intensified competition for land in first tier cities than in any other cities. In order to secure profitability of projects, the Company’s newly acquired projects during the year are mainly located in Shenyang, Anshan, Qingdao, Wuxi, Foshan, Xiamen, Fuzhou, Chongqing, etc. During the reporting period, the Company’s financial position further improved. As at the end of the reporting period, the cash and cash equivalents of by the Company amounted to RMB26.9 billion, up by RMB6.9 billion from that at the end of 2008. The Company’s net debt ratio was 10.7%, representing a decrease of 22.4 percentage points when compared to that at the end of 2008. At the beginning of the year, the Company mentioned that it would further expand its source of funding, and would consider equity financing at an appropriate timing. The Company will take full account of the level of acceptance by the capital market and investors, and will ensure the financing exercise will lead to profit growth for its shareholders when considering the timing, scope and method of financing. At present, the Company is actively exploring a feasible approach for financing. 2.

Construction of Wujiefang Project did not commence as scheduled due to the effect of the adjustment in road planning for World Expo by the government of Shanghai. All the factors previously affecting the project now no longer exist. To maximize the land value of the project, the Company is fine-tuning the development plan of the project according to market demand, and is actively preparing for construction of the project. Construction of Zhuhai Hotel, Xiangzhou District, Zhuhai did not commence as scheduled due to the effect of the adjustment in the overall planning of the town centre by Zhuhai Municipal Government. The Company has received the planning permit for construction works of the residential section and is now applying for the construction permit while actively preparing for construction of the project. The plot ratio and height of Anpin Street Project, Nanjing had to be reduced due to government policy to preserve old town, affecting the construction commencement schedule and investment return. The overall planning of the project is now basically finalised. The Company is applying for the planning permit and is engaged in negotiations of relevant matters while actively preparing for construction of the project. 2. Based on sales performance up till now and market forecast, Everest Town project, Guangzhou, The Paradiso project, Guangzhou, Anpin Street project, Nanjing ,and Stratford project, Nanjing are expected to generate a profit less than that as stated in the prospectus. Other investment projects financed by the proceeds are expected to generate a profit higher than the estimated gains. Using the weighted average method, the total gains from the investment projects financed by the proceeds are expected to exceed the estimated gains stated in the prospectus. Remarks on reasons and procedures for the change (by project) No change. Use of the remaining balance of the proceeds As at 30 June 2009, the Company had applied RMB9.474 billion of the proceeds in accordance with the prospectus.

V. Significant events 1. Corporate governance As one of the first companies listed in the PRC, the Company has always abided by its corporate values: to pursue simplicity, to be transparent, to be regulated and responsible. It continues to explore ways to raise its corporate governance standard. With a foundation built on sound corporate governance, China Vanke has established longstanding trust and win-win relationships with its investors. The Company’s actual corporate governance practice showed no deviation from the requirements of the relevant documents issued by the CSRC. As the Company’s single largest shareholder, CRC and its connected companies have remained independent of the Company in respect of operations, employees, assets, organisation and finance, thereby ensuring the Company’s operation autonomy. During the reporting period, the Company amended the implementation details of the Audit Committee according to the relevant requirements. The Company will continue to commit to improving its corporate governance through adopting various measures, thereby providing a solid foundation for the Company’s healthy long-term development. 2. Implementation of the Company’s proposal on dividend distribution for the previous year and profit appropriation for the interim period of 2009 Dividend distribution for the year 2008 was approved at the 2008 Annual General Meeting held on 10 April 2009. The proposal on the dividend distribution was: based on the total share capital as at the close of the market on the registration day for entitlement of the Company, a cash dividend of RMB0.50 (including tax; after deducting tax, a cash dividend of RMB0.45 is paid for every 10 existing shares beneficially held by individual shareholders, investment funds, and qualified foreign institutional investors of A shares; for other non-resident enterprises, the Company will not withhold nor pay the income tax on their behalf – the taxpayer shall pay the tax in the place where the income is received; B shares are not subject to taxation for the time being) will be paid to all the shareholders on the basis of every 10 existing shares held.15 The aforesaid proposals were implemented during the reporting period: the registration day for entitlement for A shares was 5 June 2009, and ex-dividend date was 8 June 2009, while the last trading day of B shares was 5 June 2009, ex-dividend date was 8 June 2009, and the registration day for entitlement was 10 June 2009. For details on the implementation of the proposals, please refer to China Securities Journal, Securities Times, Shanghai Securities News on 27 May 2009 and irasia.com. The Company will not carry out profit appropriation nor the transfer of capital surplus reserve to share capital for the interim period of 2009. 3. Implementation of The Restricted Stock Incentive Plan (1) Incentive plan for year 2008 Since the Company’s net profit after extraordinary gains or losses in 2008 declined by 15.61% compared with that of 2007, the performance target of “over 15% increase in net profit after extraordinary gains or losses” as stipulated in Provision 12 of Phase One of The Restricted Stock Incentive Plan could not be reached. On 14 April 2009, the Company made an announcement regarding termination of the implementation of the restricted stock incentive plan for year 2008. All of 60,925,820 Vanke A shares which had been held by the incentive plan for year 2008 were sold on the secondary market within trading days of the window period, and the proceeds from the sale amounted to RMB620,003,685.63. During the reporting period, RMB620,656,308.20 (being the total amount of funds under the incentive plan for year 2008, together with accrued interest) had been transferred to the Company’s designated account. Termination of the implementation of the incentive plan for year 2008 was completed. Please refer to the announcements on China Securities Journal, Securities Times, Shanghai Securities News and cninfo.com.cn on 14 April 2009 and 26 May 2009 for details. (2) The Incentive plan for year 2007 Since the average closing price of Vanke A shares in 2008 after ex-right price backward adjustment was lower than that in 2007, the incentive plan for year 2007 did not meet the condition for stock price performance target of Phase One Restricted Stock Incentive Plan, and the incentive plan for year 2007 therefore entered into a supplementary vesting period. During the reporting period, 46,341,761 Vanke A shares held by the incentive plan for year 2007 were entitled to a dividement payment of RMB2,317,088.05. Pursuant to the requirements of Phase One Restricted Stock Incentive Plan, the incentive plan used the related funds to purchase additional 210,000 Vanke A shares from the secondary market. As at the end of the reporting period, the incentive plan for year 2007 held a total of 46,551,761 Vanke A shares. If, at the beginning of 2010, the average price of China Vanke A shares in 2009 after ex-right price backward adjustment is greater than the average price in 2007 after ex-right price backward adjustment, the shares held by the incentive plan for year 2007 can be transferred to the beneficiaries; if the stock price performance target can not be reached, vesting for the incentive plan for year 2007 will be cancelled. Shares held by the incentive plan for year 2007 will be sold on the market within the prescribed period after an announcement regarding the confirmation of the termination of the incentive plan for year 2007 is made, and the proceeds from the sale will be transferred to the Company. 4. Material litigation and arbitration During the reporting period, the Company was not involved in any material litigation and arbitration. 5.

Information about significant areas of estimation uncertainty and critical judgments in applying accounting policies that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognized in the consolidated financial statements is included in the following notes: ?Note 16 and 17 – depreciation and impairment of property, plant and equipment and investment properties ?Note 25 – write down of properties ?Note 26 – impairment of trade debtors and other receivables ?Note 40 – accounting estimates and judgmentsChina Vanke Co., Ltd. Financial statements for the period ended 30 June 2009 32 3 Significant accounting policies The accounting policies set out below have been applied consistently to all periods presented in these consolidated financial statements, and have been applied consistently by Group entities. (a) Basis of consolidation (i) Subsidiaries and minority interests Subsidiaries are entities controlled by the Group. Control exists when the Group has the power to govern the financial and operating policies of an entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities. In assessing control, potential voting rights that presently are exercisable are taken into account. An investment in a subsidiary is consolidated into the consolidated financial statements from the date that control commences until the date that control ceases. Intra-group balances and transactions and any unrealized profits arising from intra-group transactions are eliminated in full in preparing the consolidated financial statements. Unrealized losses resulting from intra-group transactions are eliminated in the same way as unrealized gains but only to the extent that there is no evidence of impairment. Minority interests represent the portion of the net assets of subsidiaries attributable to interests that are not owned by the Company, whether directly or indirectly through subsidiaries, and in respect of which the Group has not agreed any additional terms with holders of those interests which would result in the Group as a whole having a contractual obligation in respect of those interests that meets the definition of a financial liability. Minority interests are presented in the consolidated balance sheet within equity, separately from equity attributable to the equity shareholders of the Company. Minority interests in the results of the Group are presented on the face of the consolidated income statement as an allocation of the total profit or loss for the year between minority interests and the equity shareholders of the Company. Where losses applicable to the minority exceed the minority’s interest in the equity of a subsidiary, the excess, and any further losses applicable to the minority, are charged against the Group’s interest except to the extent that the minority has a binding obligation to, and is able to, make additional investment to cover the losses. If the subsidiary subsequently reports profits, the Group’s interest is allocated all such profits until the minority’s share of losses previously absorbed by the Group has been recovered. Loans from holders of minority interests and other contractual obligations towards these holders are presented as financial liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet in accordance with notes 3(q) and 3(s) depending on the nature of the liability. (ii) Associates and jointly controlled entities An associate is an entity in which the Group has significant influence, but not control or joint control, over its management, including participation in the financial and operating policy decisions. A jointly controlled entity is an entity which operates under a contractual arrangement between the Group and other parties, where the contractual arrangement establishes that theChina Vanke Co., Ltd. Financial statements for the period ended 30 June 2009 33 3 Significant accounting policies (continued) (a) Basis of consolidation (continued) (ii) Associates and jointly controlled entities (continued) Group and one or more of the other parties share joint control over the economic activity of the entity. An investment in an associate or a jointly controlled entity is accounted for in the consolidated financial statements under the equity method, unless it is classified as held for sale (or included in a disposal group of that is classified as held for sale). Under the equity method, the investment is initially recorded at cost and adjusted thereafter for the post acquisition change in the Group’s share of investees’ net assets and any impairment loss relating to the investment (see notes 3(h)(i)). The Group’s share of the post-acquisition, posttax results of the investees and any impairment losses for the year are recognized in the consolidated income statement. When the Group’s share of losses exceeds its interest in the associate or the jointly controlled entity, the Group’s interest is reduced to nil and recognition of further losses is discontinued except to the extent that the Group has incurred legal or constructive obligations or made payments on behalf of the associate or the jointly controlled entity. For this purpose, the Group’s interest is the carrying amount of the investment under the equity method together with the Group’s long-term interests that in substance form part of the Group’s net investment in the associate or the jointly controlled entity. Unrealized profits and losses resulting from transactions between the Group and its associates and jointly controlled entities are eliminated to the extent of the Group’s interest in the investee, except where unrealized losses provide evidence of an impairment of the asset transferred, in which case they are recognized immediately in profit or loss. (iii) Business combinations When an acquisition is completed by a series of successive transactions, each significant transaction is considered individually for the purpose of the determination of the fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities acquired and hence for the goodwill associated with the acquisition. The fair values of the identifiable assets and liabilities acquired can vary at the date of each transaction. When a transaction results in taking over the control of the entity, the interests of the entity previously recorded in the Group’s financial statements are revalued on the basis of the fair values of the identifiable assets and liabilities at the transaction date. Any revaluation surplus/deficits are recorded in equity. When control already exists at the date of addition in interest in an entity, no fair value adjustment is made to the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities of the entity. Any difference between the considerations and the carrying amount of interests previously recorded in the Group’s financial statements is dealt with in equity. Where the Group decreases its interest in a subsidiary without losing control, any gain or loss on the partial disposal is recognised in profit or loss.China Vanke Co., Ltd. Financial statements for the period ended 30 June 2009 34 3 Significant accounting policies (continued) (a) Basis of consolidation (continued) (iv) Goodwill Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of a business combination or an investment in an associate or a jointly controlled entity over the Group’s interest in the net fair value of the acquiree’s identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities. Goodwill is stated at cost less accumulated impairment losses. Goodwill arising on a business combination is allocated to cash-generating units and is tested annually for impairment (see note 3(h)). In respect of associates or jointly controlled entities, the carrying amount of goodwill is included in the carrying amount of the interest in the associate jointly controlled entity and the investment as a whole is tested for impairment whenever there is objective evidence of impairment (see note 3(h)). Any excess of the group’s interest in the net fair value of the acquiree’s identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities over the cost of a business combination or an investment in an associate or a jointly entity is recognized immediately in profit or loss. On disposal of a cash generating unit, an associate or a jointly controlled entity during the year, and attributable amount of purchased goodwill is included in the calculation of the profit or loss on disposal. (b) Foreign currency (i) Foreign currency transactions Transactions in foreign currencies are translated to the respective functional currencies of Group entities at exchange rates at the dates of the transactions. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the reporting date are retranslated to the functional currency at the exchange rate at that date. The foreign currency gain or loss on monetary items is the difference between amortised cost in the functional currency at the beginning of the period, adjusted for effective interest and payments during the period, and the amortised cost in foreign currency translated at the exchange rate at the end of the period. Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies that are measured at fair value are retranslated to the functional currency at the exchange rate at the date that the fair value was determined. Foreign currency differences arising on retranslation are recognised in profit or loss. (ii) Foreign operations The assets and liabilities of foreign operations, including goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on acquisition, are translated to Renminbi at exchange rate at the reporting date. The income and expenses of foreign operations are translated to Renminbi at exchange rates at the dates of the transactions. Foreign currency differences are recognised directly in equity. Such differences have been recognised in the foreign exchange reserve. When a foreign operation is disposed of, in part of in full, the relevant amount in the foreign exchange reserve is transferred to profit or loss.China Vanke Co., Ltd. Financial statements for the period ended 30 June 2009 35 3 Significant accounting policies (continued) (c) Financial instruments (i) Non-derivative financial instruments Non-derivative financial instruments comprise investments in equity and debt securities, trade and other receivables, including cash and cash equivalents, bonds and interest-bearing borrowings, and trade and other payables. Non-derivative financial instruments are recognized initially at fair value plus, for instruments not at fair value through profit or loss, any directly attributable transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition non-derivative financial instruments are measured as described below. Available-for-sale financial assets The Group’s investments in equity securities and certain debt securities are classified as available-for-sale financial assets. Subsequent to initial recognition, they are measured at fair value and changes therein, other than impairment losses (see note 3(h)), are recognized directly in equity. When an investment is derecognized, the cumulative gain or loss in equity is transferred to profit or loss. Others Other non-derivative financial instruments are measured at amortized cost using effective interest rate method, less any impairment losses. (ii) Derivative financial instruments Derivative financial instruments are recognized initially at fair value; attributable transaction costs are recognized in the profit or loss when incurred. Subsequent to initial reorganization, derivatives are measured at fair values, and all changes in its fair value are recognized immediately in profit or loss. Embedded derivatives are separated from the host contract and accounted for separately if the economic characteristics and risks of the host contract and the embedded derivative are not closely related, a separate instrument with the same terms as the embedded derivative would meet the definition of a derivative, and the combined instrument is not measured at fair value through profit or loss. (iii) Share capital Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of ordinary shares are recognized as a deduction from equity, net of any tax effects.China Vanke Co., Ltd. Financial statements for the period ended 30 June 2009 36 3 Significant accounting policies (continued) (d) Property, plant and equipment (i) Recognition and measurement Hotel and other properties held for own use, plant and equipment are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. Cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the asset. The cost of self-constructed assets includes the cost of materials and direct labour, any other costs directly attributable to bringing the assets to a working condition for their intended use, and the costs of dismantling and removing the items and restoring the site on which they are located, and an appropriate proportion of production overheads and borrowing costs (see note 3(m)). Purchased software that is integral to the functionality of the related equipment is capitalized as part of that equipment. When parts of an item of property, plant and equipment have different useful lives, they are accounted for as separate items (major components) of property, plant and equipment. Gains and losses on disposal of an item of property, plant and equipment are determined by comparing the proceeds from disposal with the carrying amount of property, plant and equipment, and are recognized net within “other income” or “other expenses” in profit or loss. (ii) Subsequent costs The cost of replacing part of an item of property, plant and equipment is recognized in the carrying amount of the item if it is probable that the future economic benefits embodied within the part will flow to the Group and its cost can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognized. The costs of the day-to-day servicing of property, plant and equipment are recognized in profit or loss as incurred. (iii) Depreciation Depreciation is calculated to write-off the cost of items of property, plant and equipment, less their estimated residual value, if any, using the straight line method over their estimated useful lives as follow: Estimated residual value as a percentage Year of costs Hotel buildings 34 4% Other buildings 12.5 - 25 4% Improvements to premises 5 years or over terms of leases - Plant and machinery 5 - 10 4% Furniture, fixtures and equipment 5 - 10 4% Motor vehicles 5 4% Both the useful life of an asset and its residual value, if any, are reviewed annually.China Vanke Co., Ltd. Financial statements for the period ended 30 June 2009 37 3 Significant accounting policies (continued) (e) Investment properties Investment properties are land and buildings which are owned or held under a leasehold interest (see note 3(g)) to earn rental income and/or for capital appreciation. These include land held for a currently undetermined future use and property that is being constructed or developed for future use as investment property. Investment properties are stated in the consolidated balance sheet at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses (see note 3(h)). The cost of self-constructed assets includes the cost of materials, direct labour, the initial estimate, where relevant, of the costs of dismantling and removing the items and restoring the site on which they are located, and an appropriate proportion of production overheads and borrowing costs (see note 3(m)). Any gain or loss arising from the retirement or disposal of an investment property is recognised in profit or loss. Rental income from investment property is accounted for as described in note 3(l)(iii). Depreciation is calculated to write off the cost of items of investment properties, less their estimated residual value of 4% of costs, using straight line method over their estimated useful lives of 12.5 to 40 years. (f) Construction in progress Construction in progress represents items of property, plant and equipment or investment properties under construction and pending installation, and is stated at cost less impairment losses (see note 3(h)). Cost comprises cost of materials, direct labour, borrowing costs capitalized (see note 3(m)), and an appropriate proportion of production overheads incurred during the periods of construction and installation. Capitalization of those costs ceases and the construction in progress is transferred to property, plant and equipment or investment properties, as appropriate, when the asset is substantially ready for its intended use. No depreciation is provided in respect of construction in progress.China Vanke Co., Ltd. Financial statements for the period ended 30 June 2009 38 3 Significant accounting policies (continued) (g) Leased assets An arrangement, comprising a transaction or a series of transactions, is or contains a lease if the Group determines that the arrangement conveys a right to use a specific asset or assets for an agreed period of time in return for a payment or a series of payments. Such a determination is made based on an evaluation of the substance of the arrangement and is regardless of whether the arrangement takes the legal form of a lease. Leases which do not transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to the Group are classified as operating leases. Where the Group has the use of assets held under operating leases, payments made under the leases are charged to profit or loss in equal instalments over the accounting periods covered by the lease term, except where an alternative basis is more representative of the pattern of benefits to be derived from the leased asset. Lease incentives received are recognised in profit or loss as an integral part of the aggregate net lease payments made. Contingent rentals are charged to profit or loss in the accounting period in which they are incurred. The cost of acquiring land held under an operating lease is amortised on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease term except where the property is held for development, under development or completed and held for sale (see notes 3(j) and 3(k)). (h) Impairment of assets (i) Impairment of investments in debt and equity securities and other receivables Investments in debt and equity securities and other current and non-current receivables that are stated at cost or amortised cost or are classified as available-for-sale securities are reviewed at each balance sheet date to determine whether there is objective evidence of impairment. Objective evidence of impairment includes observable data that comes to the attention of the Group about one or more of the following loss events: - significant financial difficulty of the debtor; - a breach of contract, such as a default or delinquency in interest or principal payments; - it becoming probable that the debtor will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganisation;China Vanke Co., Ltd. Financial statements for the period ended 30 June 2009 39 3 Significant accounting policies (continued) (h) Impairment of assets (continued) (i) Impairment of investments in debt and equity securities and other receivables (continued) - significant changes in the technological, market, economic or legal environment that have an adverse effect on the debtor; and - a significant or prolonged decline in the fair value of an investment in an equity instrument below its cost. If any such evidence exists, any impairment loss is determined and recognised as follows: - For investments in associates and jointly controlled entities recognised using the equity method, the impairment loss is measure by comparing the recoverable amount of the investment as a whole with its carrying amount in accordance with note 3(h)(ii). The impairment loss is reversed if there has been a favourable change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount in accordance with note 3(h)(ii). - For unquoted securities that are carried at cost, the impairment loss is measured as the difference between the carrying amount of the financial asset and the estimated future cash flows, discounted at the current market rate of return for a similar financial asset where the effect of discounting is material. Impairment losses for securities are not reversed. - For trade and other current receivables and other financial assets carried at amortised cost, the impairment loss is measured as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at the financial asset’s original effective interest rate (i.e. the effective interest rate computed at initial recognition of these assets), where the effect of discounting is material. This assessment is made collectively where financial assets carried at amortised cost share similar risk characteristics, such as similar past due status, and have not been individually assessed as impaired. Future cash flows for financial assets which are assessed for impairment collectively are based on historical loss experience for assets with credit risk characteristics similar to the collective group. If in a subsequent period the amount of an impairment loss decreases and the decrease can be linked objectively to an event occurring after the impairment loss was recognised, the impairment loss is reversed through profit or loss. A reversal of an impairment loss shall not result in the asset’s carrying amount exceeding that which would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognised in prior years. - For available-for-sale securities, the cumulative loss that has been recognised directly in equity is reclassified to profit or loss. The amount of the cumulative loss that is recognised in profit or loss is the difference between the acquisition cost (net of any principal repayment and amortisation) and current fair value, less any impairment loss on that asset previously recognised in profit or loss. Impairment losses recognised in profit or loss in respect of available-for-sale equity securities are not reversed through profit or loss. Any subsequent increase in the fair value of such assets is recognised directly in equity.China Vanke Co., Ltd. Financial statements for the period ended 30 June 2009 40 3 Significant accounting policies (continued) (h) Impairment of assets (continued) (i) Impairment of investments in debt and equity securities and other receivables (continued) Impairment losses in respect of available-for-sale debt securities are reversed if the subsequent increase in fair value can be objectively related to an event occurring after the impairment loss were recognised. Reversals of impairment losses in such circumstances are recognised in profit or loss. Impairment losses are written off against the corresponding assets directly, except for impairment losses recognised in respect of trade debtors and bills receivable included within trade and other receivables, whose recovery is considered doubtful but not remote. In this case, the impairment losses for doubtful debts are recorded using an allowance account. When the Group is satisfied that recovery is remote, the amount considered irrecoverable is written off against trade debtors and bills receivable directly and any amounts held in the allowance account relating to that debt are reversed. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously charged to the allowance account are reversed against the allowance account. Other changes in the allowance account and subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off directly are recognised in profit or loss. (ii) Impairment of other assets Internal and external sources of information are reviewed at each balance sheet date to identify indications that the following assets may be impaired or, except in the case of goodwill, an impairment loss previously recognised no longer exists or may have decreased: - investment properties; - property, plant and equipment; and - construction in progress. If any such indication exists, the asset’s recoverable amount is estimated. In addition, for goodwill, the recoverable amount is estimated annually whether or not there is any indication of impairment. - Calculation of recoverable amount The recoverable amount of an asset is the greater of its fair value less costs to sell and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. Where an asset does not generate cash inflows largely independent of those from other assets, the recoverable amount is determined for the smallest group of assets that generates cash inflows independently (i.e. a cash-generating unit).China Vanke Co., Ltd. Financial statements for the period ended 30 June 2009 41 3 Significant accounting policies (continued) (h) Impairment of assets (continued) (ii) Impairment of other assets (continued) - Recognition of impairment losses An impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss whenever the carrying amount of an asset, or the cash-generating unit to which it belongs, exceeds its recoverable amount. Impairment losses recognised in respect of cash-generating units are allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the cash-generating unit (or group of units) and then, to reduce the carrying amount of the other assets in the unit (or group of units) on a pro rata basis, except that the carrying value of an asset will not be reduced below its individual fair value less costs to sell, or value in use, if determinable. - Reversals of impairment losses In respect of assets other than goodwill, an impairment loss is reversed if there has been a favourable change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount. An impairment loss in respect of goodwill is not reversed. A reversal of an impairment loss is limited to the asset’s carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognised in prior years. Reversals of impairment losses are credited to profit or loss in the year in which the reversals are recognised. (i) Inventories Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost is calculated using the weighted average cost formula and comprises all costs of purchase, costs of conversion and other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition. Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale. When inventories are sold, the carrying amount of those inventories is recognised as an expense in the period in which the related revenue is recognised. The amount of any writedown of inventories to net realisable value and all losses of inventories are recognised as an expense in the period the write-down or loss occurs. The amount of any reversal of any write-down of inventories is recognised as a reduction in the amount of inventories recognised as an expense in the period in which the reversal occurs. (j) Properties under development and properties held for development Properties under development are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. The cost of properties under development and properties held for development comprise specifically identified cost, including the acquisition cost of land, aggregate cost of development, materials and supplies, wages and other direct expenses, an appropriate proportion of overheads and borrowing costs capitalised (see note 3(m)). Net realisable value represents the estimated selling price less the estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs to be incurred in selling the properties.China Vanke Co., Ltd. Financial statements for the period ended 30 June 2009 42 3 Significant accounting policies (continued) (k) Completed properties for sale Completed properties for sale are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost is determined by apportionment of the total development costs for that development project attributable to the unsold properties. Net realisable value represents the estimated selling price less the estimated costs to be incurred in selling the properties. The cost of completed properties for sale comprises all costs of purchase, costs of conversion and other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition. When properties are sold, the carrying amount of those properties is recognised as an expense in the period in which the related revenue is recognised. The amount of any write-down of properties to net realisable value and all losses of properties are recognised as an expense in the period the write-down or loss occurs. The amount of any reversal of any write-down of properties is recognised as a reduction in the amount of properties recognised as an expense in the period in which the reversal occurs. (l) Revenue recognition Provided it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Group and the revenue and costs, if applicable, can be measured reliably, revenue is recognised in profit or loss as follows: (i) Sale of properties Revenue from the sale of completed properties for sale is recognised upon the signing of the sale and purchase agreement and the receipt of the deposits pursuant to the sale and purchase agreement or the achievement of status ready for hand-over to customers as stipulated in the sales and purchase agreements, whichever is the later. Deposits and instalments received on properties sold prior to the date of revenue recognition are included in the consolidated balance sheet under sales deposits received in advance. (ii) Provision of services Revenue from services is recognised when services are rendered. (iii) Rental income from operating leases Rental income receivable under operating leases is recognised in profit or loss in equal instalments over the periods covered by the lease term, except where an alternative basis is more representative of the pattern of benefits to be derived from the use of the leased asset. Lease incentives granted are recognised in profit or loss as an integral part of the aggregate net lease payments receivable. Contingent rentals are recognised as income in the accounting period in which they are earned. (iv) Interest income Interest income is recognised as it accrues using the effective interest method.China Vanke Co., Ltd. Financial statements for the period ended 30 June 2009 43 (l) Revenue recognition (continued) (v) Dividend income -Dividend income from unlisted investments is recognised when the shareholder’s right to receive payment is established. -Dividend income from listed investments is recognised when the share price of the investment goes ex-dividend. (vi) Government grants Government grants are recognised initially as deferred income when there is reasonable assurance that they will be received and that the Group will comply with the conditions attaching to them. Grants that compensate the Group for expenses incurred are recognised as other sundry income in profit or loss on a systematic basis in the same periods in which the expenses are incurred. Grants that compensate the Group for the cost of an asset are deducted in arriving at the carrying amount of the asset and consequently are effectively recognised in profit or loss over the useful life of the asset by way of reduced depreciation expense. (vii) Construction revenue The construction revenue is recognized by refernce to the stage of completion of the contruction activity at the end of the reporting period, only when the following conditions are met, ?It is the buyer who can make decision to the design of the main construction before the construction activity, and make decision to change the design during the construction activity; ?The outcome of the construction contract can be estimated reliably. The above revenue is net of the relevant taxes and is after the deduction of any trade discounts. No revenue is recognised if there are significant uncertainties regarding recovery of the consideration due, associated costs or the possible return of goods. (m) Borrowing costs Borrowing costs are expensed in profit or loss in the period in which they are incurred, except to the extent that they are capitalised as being directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of an asset which necessarily takes a substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use or sale. The capitalisation of borrowing costs as part of the cost of a qualifying asset commences when expenditure for the asset is being incurred, borrowing costs are being incurred and activities that are necessary to prepare the asset for its intended use or sale are in progress. Capitalisation of borrowing costs is suspended or ceases when substantially all the activities necessary to prepare the qualifying asset for its intended use or sale are interrupted or complete.China Vanke Co., Ltd. Financial statements for the period ended 30 June 2009 44 3 Significant accounting policies (continued) (n) Employee benefits (i) Short term employee benefits and contributions to defined contribution retirement plans Salaries, annual bonuses, paid annual leave and the cost of non-monetary benefits are accrued in the year in which the associated services are rendered by employees. Where payment or settlement is deferred and the effect would be material, these amounts are stated at their present values. The Group’s contributions to defined contribution retirement plans administrated by the PRC government are recognised as an expense when incurred according to the contribution defined by the plans. (ii) Share based payments The Group has adopted an equity-settled Employees’ Share Award Scheme (the “Scheme”) for its employees (note 35) and the Group’s policy for the Scheme is set out below. The fair value of the shares granted to the employees (the “Awarded Shares”) is recognised as an employee cost with a corresponding increase in employee share based compensation reserve within equity. The fair value is measured at grant date using the Monte-Carlo option pricing model, taking into account the terms and conditions upon which the Awarded Shares were granted. As the employees have to meet vesting conditions before becoming unconditionally entitled to the Awarded Shares, the total estimated fair value of the Awarded Shares is spread over the vesting period, taking into account the probability that the Awarded Shares will vest. As the duration of the vesting period depends on the market price of the Company’s A shares, the estimation on the vesting period is reviewed at each balance sheet date. Any adjustment to the employee cost recognised in prior years is charged / credited to the profit or loss for the year of review with a corresponding adjustment to the compensation reserve. The Group’s contribution to the Scheme is stated at cost and is presented as a contra account, namely, Awarded Shares purchased for the Employees’ Share Award Scheme, within equity. When the Awarded Shares are transferred to the awardees upon vesting, the related costs of the Awarded Shares vested are credited to Awarded shares purchased for the Employee’s Share Award Scheme with a corresponding adjustment to the employee share based compensation reserve. (o) Income tax Income tax for the year comprises current tax and movements in deferred assets and liabilities. Current tax and movement in deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognised in profit or loss except to the extent that they relate to items recognised directly in equity, in which case it is recognised in equity. Current tax is the expected tax payable on the taxable income for the year, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years.China Vanke Co., Ltd. Financial statements for the period ended 30 June 2009 45 3 Significant accounting policies (continued) (o) Income tax (continued) Deferred tax assets and liabilities arise from deductible and taxable temporary differences respectively, being the differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and their tax bases. Deferred tax assets also arise from unused tax losses and unused tax credits. Apart from certain limited exceptions, all deferred tax liabilities and all deferred tax assets to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the asset can be utilised, are recognised. Future taxable profits that may support the recognition of deferred tax assets arising from deductible temporary differences include those that will arise from the reversal of existing taxable temporary differences, provided those differences relate to the same taxation authority and the same taxable entity, and are expected to reverse either in the same period as the expected reversal of the deductible temporary difference or in periods into which a tax loss arising from the deferred tax asset can be carried back or forward. The same criteria is adopted when determining whether existing taxable temporary differences support the recognition of deferred tax assets arising from unused tax losses and credits, that is, those differences are taken into account if they relate to the same taxation authority and the same taxable entity, and are expected to reverse in a period, or periods, in which the tax loss or credit can be utilised. No temporary differences are recognised on the initial recognition of goodwill. In addition, the following temporary differences are not provided for: the initial recognition of assets or liabilities that affect neither accounting nor taxable profit (provided they are not part of a business combination), and temporary differences relating to investments in subsidiaries to the extent, in the case of taxable differences, the Group controls the timing of the reversal and it is probable that the differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future, or in the case of deductible differences, unless it is probable that they will reverse in the future. The amount of deferred tax recognised is measured based on the expected manner of realisation or settlement of the carrying amount of the assets and liabilities, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are not discounted. The carrying amount of a deferred tax asset is reviewed at each balance sheet date and is reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow the related tax benefit to be utilised. Any such reduction is reversed to the extent that it becomes probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available. Additional income taxes that arise from the distribution of dividends are recognised when the liability to pay the related dividends is recognised. Current tax balances and deferred tax balances, and movements therein, are presented separately from each other and are not offset. Current tax assets are offset against current tax liabilities, and deferred tax assets against deferred tax liabilities, if the Company or the Group has the legally enforceable right to set off current tax assets against current liabilities and the following additional conditions are met: - in the case of current tax assets and liabilities, the Company or the Group intends either to settle on a net basis, or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously; orChina Vanke Co., Ltd. Financial statements for the period ended 30 June 2009 46 3 Significant accounting policies (continued) (o) Income tax (continued) - in the case of deferred tax assets and liabilities, if they relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on either: - the same taxable entity; or - different taxable entities, which, in each future period in which significant amounts of deferred tax liabilities or assets are expected to be settled or recovered, intend to realise the current tax assets and settle the current tax liabilities on a net basis or realise and settle simultaneously. (p) Trade and other receivables Trade and other receivables are initially recognised at fair value and thereafter at amortised cost less impairment losses for bad and doubtful debts (see note 3(h)), except where the receivables are interest-free loans made to related parties without any fixed repayment terms or the effect of discounting would be immaterial. In such cases, the receivables are stated at cost less impairment losses for bad and doubtful debts (see note 3(h)). (q) Trade and other payables Trade and other payables are initially recognised at fair value. Except for financial guarantee liabilities measured in accordance with note 3(t), trade and other payables are subsequently stated at amortised cost unless the effect of discounting would be immaterial, in which case they are stated at cost. (r) Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash at bank and on hand, and demand deposits with banks. Bank overdrafts that are repayable on demand and form an integral part of the Group’s cash management are included as a component of cash and cash equivalents for the purpose of the consolidated cash flow statement. (s) Interest-bearing borrowings and bonds Interest-bearing borrowings and bonds are recognised initially at fair value, less attributable transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, interest-bearing borrowings/bonds are stated at amortised cost with any difference between cost and redemption value being recognised in the profit or loss over the period of the borrowings/bonds, together with any interest and fees payable, using the effective interest method.China Vanke Co., Ltd. Financial statements for the period ended 30 June 2009 47 3 Significant accounting policies (continued) (t) Financial guarantees issued, provisions and contingent liabilities (i) Financial guarantees issued Financial guarantees are contracts that require the issuer (i.e. the guarantor) to make specified payments to reimburse the beneficiary of the guarantee (the “holder”) for a loss the holder incurs because a specified debtor fails to make payment when due in accordance with the terms of a debt instrument. Where the Group issues a financial guarantee, the fair value of the guarantee (being the transaction price, unless the fair value can otherwise be reliably estimated) is initially recognised as deferred income within trade and other payables. Where consideration is received or receivable for the issuance of the guarantee, the consideration is recognised in accordance with the Group’s policies applicable to that category of asset. Where no such consideration is received or receivable, an immediate expense is recognised in profit or loss on initial recognition of any deferred income. The amount of the guarantee initially recognised as deferred income is amortised in profit or loss over the term of the guarantee as income from financial guarantees issued. In addition, provisions are recognised in accordance with note 3(t)(iii) if and when (i) it becomes probable that the holder of the guarantee will call upon the group under the guarantee, and (ii) the amount of that claim on the Group is expected to exceed the amount currently carried in trade and other payables in respect of that guarantee i.e. the amount initially recognised, less accumulated amortisation. (ii) Contingent liabilities acquired in business combinations Contingent liabilities acquired as part of a business combination are initially recognised at fair value, provided the fair value can be reliably measured. After their initial recognition at fair value, such contingent liabilities are recognised at the higher of the amount initially recognised, less accumulated amortisation where appropriate, and the amount that would be determined in accordance with note 3(t)(iii). Contingent liabilities acquired in a business combination that cannot be reliably fair valued are disclosed in accordance with note 3(t)(iii). (iii) Other provisions and contingent liabilities Provisions are recognised for other liabilities of uncertain timing or amount when the Group has a legal or constructive obligation arising as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made. Where the time value of money is material, provisions are stated at the present value of the expenditure expected to settle the obligation. Where it is not probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required, or the amount cannot be estimated reliably, the obligation is disclosed as a contingent liability, unless the probability of outflow of economic benefits is remote. Possible obligations, whose existence will only be confirmed by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more future events, are also disclosed as contingent liabilities unless the probability of outflow of economic benefits is remote.China Vanke Co., Ltd. Financial statements for the period ended 30 June 2009 48 3 Significant accounting policies (continued) (u) Related parties For the purposes of these financial statements, a party is considered to be related to the Group if: (i) the party has the ability, directly or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, to control the Group or exercise significant influence over the Group in making financial and operating policy decisions, or has joint control over the Group. (ii) the Group and the party are subject to common control; (iii) the party is an associate of the Group or a joint venture in which the Group is a venturer; (iv) the party is a member of key management personnel of the Group, or a close family member of such an individual, or is an entity under the control, joint control or significant influence of such individuals; (v) the party is close family member of a party referred to in (i) or is an entity under the control, joint control or significant influence of such individuals; or (vi) the party is a post-employment benefit plan which is for the benefit of employees of the Group or of any entity that is a related party of the Group. Close family members of an individual are those family members who may be expected to influence, or be influenced by, that individual in their dealings with the entity. (v) Earnings per share The Group presents basic earnings per share (EPS) data for its ordinary shares. Basic EPS is calculated by dividing the profit or loss attributable to ordinary shareholders of the Company by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period. There were no dilutive ordinary shares during the years ended 30 June 2009 and 31 December 2008; therefore, dilutive earnings per share are not presented. (w) Segment reporting Operating segments, and the amounts of each segment item reported in the financial statements are identified from the financial information provided regularly to the group’s most senior executive management for the purposes of allocating resources to, and assessing the performance of, the group’s various lines of business. Individually material operating segments are not aggregated for the financial reporting purposes unless the segments have similar economic characteristics and are similar in respect of the nature of products and services, the nature of production processes, the type or class of customers, the methods used to distribute the products or provide the services, and the nature of the regulatory environment. Operating segments which are not individually material may be aggregated if they share a majority of these criteria.China Vanke Co., Ltd. Financial statements for the period ended 30 June 2009 49 4 Changes in accounting policies In the current period, the Company has applied the following new and revised International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRSs”) in these financial statements. (1) IFRSs 8 Operating Segments IFRS 8 becomes effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2009. As of 1 January 2009 the Company determines and presents operating segments based on the information that internally is provided to the chief operating decision maker for the purposes of allocating resources to the segments and assessing their performance. Comparative segment information has been re-presented in conformity with the transitional requirement of IFRSs 8. The change in accounting policy only impacts presentation and disclosure aspects; there is no impact on earnings per share. (2) IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements The revised IAS 1 becomes effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2009. As a result, the Company presents in the consolidated statement of change in equity all owner changes in equity, whereas all non-owner changes in equity are presented in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income. This presentation has been applied in these financial statements as of and for the six months period ended on 30 June 2009. Comparative information has been re-presented in conformity with the revised standards. Since the change in accounting policy only impacts presentation and disclosure aspects, there is no impact on earnings per share. The Group has not applied any new standard or interpretation that is not yet effective for the current accounting period (see note 41). 5 Determination of fair values A number of the Group’s accounting policies and disclosures require the determination of fair value, for both financial and non-financial assets and liabilities. Fair values have been determined for measurement and or disclosure purposes based on the following methods. When applicable, further information about the assumptions made in determining fair values is disclosed in the notes specific to that asset or liability. (i) Property, plant and equipment, properties held for development, properties under development and completed properties for sale The fair value of property, plant and equipment, properties held for development, properties under development and completed properties for sale recognised as a result of business combination is based on market values. The market value of property is the estimated amount for which a property could be exchanged on the date of valuation between a willing buyer and a willing seller in an arm’s length transaction after proper marketing wherein the parties had each acted knowledgeably, prudently and without compulsion. The market value of items of plant, equipment, fixtures and fittings is based on the quoted market prices for similar items.China Vanke Co., Ltd. Financial statements for the period ended 30 June 2009 50 5 Determination of fair values (continued) (ii) Investment property The fair value of investment properties, which is determined for disclosure purposes in note 17, is estimated by the directors having regard to recent market transactions of similar properties in the same location as the Group’s investment properties. (iii) Investments in debt and equity securities The fair value of listed available-for-sale financial assets is determined by reference to their quoted closing bid price at the reporting date without any deduction for transaction costs. There is no quoted market price in an active market for the unlisted equity and debt securities and thus their fair value cannot be reliably estimated. (iv) Trade and other receivables The fair value of trade and other receivables is estimated as the present value of future cash flows, discounted at the market rate of interest at the reporting date. (v) Derivatives The fair value of financial derivatives, namely non-deliverable forward contracts, is estimated by discounting the difference between the contractual forward price and the current forward price for the residual maturity of the contract using a risk-free interest rate. (vi) Interest bearing financial instruments The fair value of interest bearing amounts is estimated at the present value of future cash flows, discounted at current market interest rates for similar financial instruments and it approximates carrying value as at 30 June 2009 and 31 December 2008. (vii) Non-derivative financial liabilities The fair value of non-derivative financial liabilities, which is determined for disclosure purposes, is calculated based on the present value of future principal and interest cash flows, discounted at the market rate of interest at the reporting date. Given the terms of non-interest bearing and no fixed repayment terms for certain amounts due from associates and jointly controlled entities, their fair value cannot be reliably estimated.China Vanke Co., Ltd.

Financial statements for the period ended 30 June 2009 86 37 Commitments (a) Commitments outstanding at 31 December not provided for in the financial statements were as follows: 30 Jun. 2009 31 Dec. 2008 Contracted for 16,412,093,985 23,202,031,151 Commitments mainly related to land and development costs for the Group’s properties under development. (b) At 30 June 2009, the total future minimum lease payments under non-cancellable operating leases are payable as follows: 30 Jun. 2009 31 Dec. 2008 Within 1 year 28,089,463 32,497,446 After 1 year but within 2 years 17,892,994 20,784,514 After 2 year but within 5 years 11,122,234 30,333,962 After 5 years 7,730,966 4,735,353 64,835,657 88,351,275 The Group is the lessee in respect of a number of properties held under operating leases. The leases typically run for an initial period of two to ten years. None of the leases includes contingent rentals. During the period, the operating lease expense of the Group amounted to RMB19 million (2008 Jan – Jun: RMB29 million).China Vanke Co., Ltd. Financial statements for the period ended 30 June 2009 87 38 Contingent liabilities (i) As at the balance sheet date, the Group has issued guarantees to banks to secure the mortgage arrangement of property buyers. The outstanding guarantees to the banks amounted to RMB21,940 million (2008: RMB17,969 million), including guarantees of RMB21,371 million (2008: RMB17,452 million) which will be terminated upon the completion of the transfer procedures with the buyers in respect of the legal title of the properties, and guarantees of RMB569 million (2008: RMB517 million) which will be terminated upon full repayment of mortgage loans by buyers to the banks. The directors do not consider it probable that the Group will sustain a loss under these guarantees as the bank has the rights to sell the property and recover the outstanding loan balance from the sale proceeds if the property buyers default payment. The Group has not recognised any deferred income in respect of these guarantees as its fair value is considered to be minimal by the directors. (ii) As at 30 June 2009, a subsidiary of the Group was sued by a contractor for repayment of deposit paid and construction cost payable, which amounted to RMB39 million, plus accrual of interest thereon. The relevant PRC court has yet to decide on the case. The directors do not consider it probable that the Group will sustain a compensation loss in this respect. 39 Financial risk management Exposure to interest rate, credit, liquidity, and currency risks arises in the normal course of the Group’s business. The risks are limited by the Group’s financial management policies and practices described below. (a) Interest rate risk The Group’s interest rate risk arises primarily from its borrowings and bonds. Borrowings and bonds issued at variable rates and at fixed rates expose the Group to cash flow interest rate risk and fair value interest rate risk respectively. The interest rate and terms of repayment of bank loans, borrowings and bonds of the Group are disclosed in note 31 to the financial statements. At 30 June 2009, it is estimated that a general increase of 0.5% in interest rates, with all other variables held constant, would decrease the Group’s profit after tax by approximately RMB16,750,169 (2008: RMB48,754,734). The sensitivity analysis above has been determined assuming that the change in interest rates had occurred at the balance sheet date and had been applied to the exposure to interest rate risk for non-derivative financial instruments in existence at that date.China Vanke Co., Ltd. Financial statements for the period ended 30 June 2009 88 39 Financial risk management (continued) (b) Credit risk The Group’s credit risk is primarily attributable to trade and other receivables and other financial assets. Management has a credit policy in place and the exposures to these credit risks are monitored on an ongoing basis. In respect of trade receivables, credit risk is minimised as the Group normally receives full payment from buyers before the transfer of property ownership. In respect of other receivables and other financial assets, the Group reviews the exposures and closely monitors the recoverability of the balances on an ongoing basis. Normally, the Group does not obtain collateral from debtors. The impairment losses on bad and doubtful accounts are within management’s expectation.

Financial statements for the period ended 30 June 2009 90 39 Financial risk management (continued) (d) Foreign exchange risk The Group is exposed to foreign currency risk primarily on borrowings that are denominated in a currency other than the functional currency of the operations to which they relate. The currencies giving rise to this risk are primarily United States dollars and Hong Kong dollars. Cash and cash equivalents denominated in a currency other than the functional currency of the entity to which they relate are as follows: 30 Jun. 2009 31 Dec. 2008 United States Dollars USD 301,347,106 USD 420,141,957 Hong Kong Dollars HKD 9,095,235 HKD 7,049,434 Interest-bearing borrowings denominated in a currency other than the functional currency of the entity to which they relate are as follows: 30 Jun. 2009 31 Dec. 2008 United States Dollars USD 2,305,037,212 USD 2,144,568,751 Hong Kong Dollars HKD - HKD 134,930,700 Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss denominated in a currency other than the functional currency of the entity to which they relate are as follows: 30 Jun. 2009 31 Dec. 2008 United States Dollars USD 3,544,200 USD 1,694,880 Sensitivity analysis The following table indicates the approximate change in the Group’s profit after tax and other components of consolidated equity in response to reasonably possible changes in the foreign exchange rates to which the Group has significant exposure at the balance sheet date. The sensitivity analysis includes balances between group companies where the denomination of the balances is in a currency other than the functional currencies of the lender or the borrower. 30 Jun. 2009 31 Dec. 2008 Increase / (decrease) Increase/(decrea se) in foreign exchange rates Effect on profit after tax and retained profits Effect on other components of equity Effect on profit after tax and retained profits Effect on other components of equity United States Dollars 10% (150,010,943) (150,206,618) (112,192,264) (113,246,603) United States Dollars (10%) 150,010,943 150,206,618 112,192,264 113,246,603 Hong Kong Dollars 10% 682,143 (263,172,731) (9,718,976) (220,462,035) Hong Kong Dollars (10%) (682,143) 263,172,731 9,718,976 220,462,035China Vanke Co., Ltd. Financial statements for the period ended 30 June 2009 91 39 Financial risk management (continued) (d) Foreign exchange risk (continued) Sensitivity analysis (continued) The sensitivity analysis has been determined assuming that the change in foreign exchange rates had occurred at the balance sheet date and had been applied to each of the group entities’ exposure to currency risk for non-derivative financial instruments in existence at that date, and that all other variables, in particular interest rates, remain constant. The Group has entered into certain non-deliverable forwards to hedge its exchange risk and the above analysis has taken into account the effect brought from the non-deliverable forwards. (e) Equity price risk The Group is exposed to equity price changes arising from equity investments classified as available-for-sale equity securities (see note 22). The Group monitors the performance of the available-for-sale equity securities regularly. 40 Accounting estimates and judgments Key sources of estimation uncertainty (i) Impairment provision for properties held for development As explained in note 3(h), the Group makes impairment provision for properties held for development taking into account the Group’s estimates of the recoverable amount from such properties. Given the volatility of the PRC property market, the actual recoverable amount may be higher or lower than that estimated at the balance sheet date. Any increase or decrease in the provision would affect profit or loss in future years. (ii) Impairment provision for completed properties for sale and properties under development As explained in notes 3(j) and 3(k), the Group’s completed properties for sale and properties under development are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Based on the Group’s recent experience and the nature of the subject properties, the Group makes estimates of the selling prices, the costs of completion in case for properties under development, and the costs to be incurred in selling the properties. Given the volatility of the PRC property market and the unique nature of individual properties, the actual outcomes in terms of costs and revenue may be higher or lower than that estimated at the balance sheet date. Any increase or decrease in the provision would affect profit or loss in future yearsChina Vanke Co., Ltd. Financial statements for the period ended 30 June 2009 92 40 Accounting estimates and judgments (continued) Key sources of estimation uncertainty (continued) (iii) Land appreciation tax As explained in note 13(a), land appreciation tax is levied on properties developed by the Group for sale, at progressive rates ranging from 30% to 60% on the appreciation of land value, which under the applicable regulations is calculated based on the proceeds of sales of properties less deductible expenditures including lease charges of land use rights, borrowing cost and relevant property development expenditures. Given the uncertainties of the calculation basis of land appreciation tax to be interpreted local tax bureau, the actual outcomes may be higher or lower than that estimated at the balance sheet date. Any increase or decrease in estimates would affect profit or loss in future years. 41 Possible impact of amendments, new standards and interpretations issued but not yet effective for the period ended 30 June 2009 Up to date of issue of these financial statements, the IASB has issued a number if amendments, new standards and interpretations which are not yet effective for the period ended 30 June 2009 and which have not been adopted in these financial statements. Effective for accounting periods beginning on or after IFRS 3(Revised), Business combinations 1 July 2009 Amendments to IAS 27, Consolidated and separate financial statements 1 July 2009 The Group is in the process of making an assessment of what the impact of these amendments, new standards and new interpretations is expected to be in the period of initial application.
