Imbalance in supply and demand resulted from a slump in many industries and the market demand was continuously weak with excess new production capacity of some paper products made available. During the reporting period, the paper industry remained in the doldrums, and both the price of raw materials and the price of products fell. Compared to the same period of last year, the profitability of the pricipal activities declined during the reporting period, and the gross profit margin of paper products was lower than that of the same period of last year. 2. Production and operation During the reporting period, the Company achieved machine-made paper production of 2.04 million tonnes and sales of 1.92 million tonnes, an increase of 22.42% and 22.41% over the same period of last year respectively. Revenue from operations amounted to RMB9.965 billion, an increase of 11.74% over the same period of last year. Operating profit was RMB-209 million, a decrease of 144.02% over the same period last year. Net profit attributable to shareholders was RMB94 million, a decrease of 80.51% over the same period of last year. It was mainly due to a decline in the gross profit margin during the reporting period over the same period of last year arising from the doldrums in the industry in the first half of 2012.

Accounting treatment of business combination under common control and not under common control (1) Business combination under common control A business combination involving enterprises under common control is a business combination in which all of the combining enterprises are ultimately controlled by the same party or parties before and after the combination, and that control is not transitory. The party that, on the combination date, obtains control of another enterprise participating in the combination is the absorbing party, while that other enterprise participating in the combination is a party being absorbed. The combination date is the date on which one combining enterprise effectively obtains control of the other combining enterprises. Assets and liabilities obtained by the absorbing party are measured at their carrying amount at the combination date as recorded by the party being merged. The difference between the carrying amount of the net assets obtained and the carrying amount of the consideration paid for the combination (or the aggregate nominal value of shares issued as consideration) is charged to the capital reserve (share capital premium). If the capital reserve (share capital premium) is not sufficient to absorb the difference, any excess shall be adjusted against retained earnings. Cost incurred by the absorbing party that is directly attributable to the business combination shall be charged to profit or loss in the period in which they are incurred. (2) Business combination not under common control 12 A business combination not involving enterprises under common control is a business combination in which all of the combining enterprises are not ultimately controlled by the same party or parties before and after the INTERIM REPOR combination. For a business combination not involving enterprises under common control, the party that, on the T acquisition date, obtains control of another enterprise participating in the combination is the acquirer, while that other enterprise participating in the combination is the acquiree. The acquisition date is the date on which the acquirer effectively obtains control of the acquiree. For business combination involving entities not under common control, the cost of a business combination is the aggregate of the fair values, on the date of acquisition, of assets given, liabilities incurred or assumed, and equity instruments issued by the acquirer to be paid by the acquirer, in exchange for control of the acquire plus agency fee such as audit, legal service and evaluation consultation and other management fees charged to the profit or loss for the period when incurred. As equity or bond securities are issued by the acquirer as consideration, any attributable transaction cost is included their initial costs. Involved contingent consideration charged to the combination cost according to its fair value on the acquisition date, the combined goodwill be will be adjusted if new or addition evidence existed about the condition in the acquisition date within twelve months after the acquisition date, which is required to adjust the contingent consideration. The combination cost incurred by the acquirer and the identifiable net assets acquired from the combination are measured at their fair values. Where the cost of a business combination exceeds the acquirer’s interest in the fair value of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets on the acquisition date, the difference is recognised as goodwill. Where the cost of a business combination is less than the acquirer’s interest in the fair value of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets, the acquirer shall first reassess the measurement of the fair value of the acquiree’s identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities and the measurement of the cost of combination. If after such reassessment the cost of combination is still less than the acquirer’s interest in the fair value of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets, the difference is charged to profit or loss for the period. 62 SHANDONG CHENMING PAPER HOLDINGS LIMITED VIII. Financial Report IV. Significant accounting policies, accounting estimates and amendments to differences in the previous period (Cont’d) 6. Basis for preparation of consolidated financial statements (1) Basis for preparation of consolidated financial statements (1) Principle of determining the scope of consolidated financial statements The scope of consolidation of the consolidated financial statements is determined on the basis of control. The term “control” means that the Company has the power to decide an investee’s financial and operating policy. The scope of consolidation includes the Company and all of its subsidiaries. A subsidiary is a business or entity controlled by the Company. (2) Basis for preparation of the consolidated financial statements Subsidiaries are consolidated from the date on which the Group obtains net assets and the effective control of decision making of production and operation and are deconsolidated from the date that such control ceases. For disposal of subsidiaries, the operating results and cash flows of such subsidiaries before the date of disposal are properly included into the consolidated income statement and consolidated cash flow statements; for disposal of subsidiaries during the reporting period, no adjustment shall be made to the opening balance of the consolidated balance sheet. For those subsidiaries acquired through business combination not under common control, the operating results and cash flows after the acquisition date have been properly included in the consolidated income statements and consolidated cash flow statements. No adjustments shall be made to the opening balance of the consolidated balance sheet and the comparative consolidated financial statements amount. For those subsidiaries acquired through business combination 12 INTERIM under common control, the operating results and cash flows from the beginning of the consolidation period REPOR to the consolidation date are also presented in the consolidated income statement and the consolidated T cash flow statements. The comparative amounts presented in the consolidated financial statements are also adjusted accordingly. The financial statements of the subsidiaries are adjusted in accordance with the accounting policies and accounting period of the Company in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements, where the accounting policies and the accounting periods are inconsistent between the Company and the subsidiaries. For acquisition of subsidiaries arising from merger of entities not under same control, the financial statements of the subsidiaries will be adjusted according to the fair value of the identifiable net assets. All intra-group significant balances, transactions and unrealised profit are eliminated in the consolidated financial statements. The shareholder s’ equity and the portion of the profit or loss for the period that is not attributable to the Company are presented separately under shareholders’ equity and net profit in the consolidated financial statements. The portion of net profit or loss of subsidiaries for the period attributable to minority interests is presented in the consolidated income statement under the” net profit” line item as “minority interests”. 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 interests. If the Company losses control over a subsidiary due to partial disposal of equity investment or other reasons, the remaining equity is measured at fair value on the date when the control lost. The difference between the sum of consideration received for disposal of equity interest and the fair value of remaining equity interest less the net assets attributable to the Company calculated continuously since the purchase date based on shareholding percentage before disposal are recognised in gains on investment in the period when the control lost. Other comprehensive income related to equity investment in the subsidiary is transferred to gains on investment at the time control lost. The remaining equity interest is measured subsequently according to the related requirements of “Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises No. 2 – Long-term Equity Investment” or “Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises No. 22 – Recognition and measurement of Financial Instruments”. Please see Note IV. 10 “Long-term equity investments” for details or Note IV. 7 “Financial Instruments”. SHANDONG CHENMING PAPER HOLDINGS LIMITED 63 VIII. Financial Report IV.

Foreign currency operations and translation of statements denominated in foreign currency (1) Foreign currency operations (1) Basis for translation of foreign currency transactions The foreign currency transactions of the Company, when initially recognised, are translated into functional currency at the prevailing spot exchange rate on the date of exchange while the Company’s foreign currency 12 exchange operations and transactions in connection with foreign currency exchange shall be translated into functional currency at the exchange rate actually adopted. INTERIM REPOR T (2) Basis for translation of foreign currency monetary items and foreign currency non-monetary items On the balance sheet date, foreign currency monetary items shall be translated at the spot exchange rate on the balance sheet date. All differences are included in the consolidated income statement, except for: ① the differences arising from foreign currency borrowings related to the acquisition or construction of fixed assets which are qualified for capitalisation; ② and except for other carrying amounts of the amortisation costs, the differences arising from changes of the foreign currency items available for sale. 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 reporting currency before and after the translation will be treated as changes in fair value (including changes in foreign exchange rates) and recognised in profit or loss for the period or recognised as other consolidated income and included in the capital reserves. 64 SHANDONG CHENMING PAPER HOLDINGS LIMITED VIII.

Foreign currency operations and translation of statements denominated in foreign currency (Cont’d) (2) Basis for translation of foreign currency financial statements Exchange differences arising from change in exchange rate where the preparation of consolidated financial statements relates to overseas operation and foreign currency monetary items materially constitute net investment in overseas operation shall be recorded into “translation reserve” in the shareholders’ equity: disposal of overseas operation shall be included into profits and losses on disposal in the current period. The financial statements denominated in foreign currency of a foreign operation are translated to RMB in comply with the following requirement: assets and liabilities on the balance sheet are translated at the spot exchange rate prevailing at the balance sheet date; owner’s equity items except for “retained profit” are translated at the spot exchange rates at the dates on which such items arose; income and expenses items in the income statement are translated at the average spot exchange rate at the date of transaction. The retained profit brought forward are reported at the prior year’s closing balance; the retained profit as at the end of the year are presented after translated the profit appropriation items; differences between the aggregate of asset and liability items and owners’ equity items are recognised as “translation differences arising on the translation of financial statements denominated in foreign currencies” in other consolidated income, and presented separately as under owners’ equity items in the balance sheet. On disposal of foreign operations and loss of control, exchange differences arising from the translation of financial statements denominated in foreign currencies related to the disposed foreign operation which has been included in owners’ equity in the balance sheet, shall be transferred to profit or loss in whole or in proportionate share in the period in which the disposal took place. 12 Cash flow dominated in foreign currency or from foreign subsidiaries shall be translated at the spot exchange rate INTERIM when it incurs. Effects arising from changes of exchange rate of cash shall be presented separately in the cash REPOR T flow statements.

Significant accounting policies, accounting estimates and amendments to differences in the previous period (Cont’d) 9. Financial instruments (1) Classification of financial instruments By way of buying and selling the financial assets in a regular way, recognition and derecognition are carried out according to the accounts on the transaction day. Financial assets are divided into financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, held-to-maturity investments, loans and receivables and available for-sale financial assets when they are initially recognised. Financial liabilities are classified at fair value at initial recognition and changes are carried through profit and loss as financial liabilities and other financial liabilities for the current period. (2) Basis of recognition and method of measurement of financial assets Financial assets are initially recognised at fair value. For financial assets measured at fair value and whose changes are carried through profit or loss, relevant transaction costs are directly recognised in profit or loss for the period. For financial assets classified as other categories, relevant transaction costs are included in the amount initially recognised. ① Financial assets carried at fair value through profit or loss for the current period They include financial assets held for trading and financial assets designated as at fair value through profit or loss for the current period. 12 Financial assets may be classified as financial assets held for trading if one of the following conditions is INTERIM REPOR met: A. the financial assets is acquired or incurred principally for the purpose of selling it in the near term; B. T the financial assets is part of a portfolio of identified financial instruments that are managed together and for which there is objective evidence of a recent pattern of short-term profit-taking; or C. the financial assets is a derivative, excluding the derivatives designated as effective hedging instruments, the derivatives classified as financial guarantee contract, and the derivatives linked to an equity instrument investment which has no quoted price in an active market nor a reliably measured fair value and are required to be settled through that equity instrument. A financial asset may be designated as at fair value through profit or loss upon initial recognition only when one of the following conditions is satisfied: A. Such designation eliminates or significantly reduces a measurement or recognition inconsistency that would otherwise result from measuring assets or recognising the gains or losses on them on different bases; or B. The financial asset forms part of a group of financial assets or a group of financial assets and financial liabilities, which is managed and its performance is evaluated on a fair value basis, in accordance with the Group’s documented risk management or investment strategy, and information about the grouping is reported to key management personnel on that basis. A financial asset at fair value through profit or loss is subsequently measured at fair value. Any gains or losses arising from changes in the fair value and any dividend or interest income earned on the financial asset are recognised in profit or loss in the current period. 66 SHANDONG CHENMING PAPER HOLDINGS LIMITED VIII. Financial Report IV. Significant accounting policies, accounting estimates and amendments to differences in the previous period (Cont’d) 9. Financial instruments (Cont’d) (2) Basis of recognition and method of measurement of financial assets (Cont’d) ② Held-to-maturity investments They are non-derivative financial assets with fixed maturity dates and fixed or determinable payments that the Group has positive intent and ability to hold to maturity. Held-to-maturity investments are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Gain or loss on derecognition, impairment or amortisation is recognised through profit or loss for the current period. The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial asset and of allocating interest income or expense over each period based on the effective interest of a financial asset or a financial liability (including a group of financial assets or financial liabilities). The effective interest is the rate that discounts future cash flows from the financial asset or financial liability over its expected life or (where appropriate) a shorter period to the carrying amount of the financial asset or financial liability. In calculating the effective interest rate, the Group will estimate the future cash flows (excluding future credit losses) by taking into account all contract terms relating to the financial assets or financial liabilities whilst considering various fees, transaction costs and discounts or premiums which are part of the effective interest rate paid or received between the parties to the financial assets or financial liabilities contracts. 12 ③ Loans and receivables INTERIM REPOR T They are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. Financial assets, including bills receivable, accounts receivable, interest receivable, dividends receivable and other receivables and entrusted loans are classified as loans and receivables by the Group. Loans and receivables are measured subsequently at the amortised cost by using the effective interest rate method. Gains or losses incurred at the time of derecognition, impairment or amortization are charged to profit or loss in the current period. ④ Available-for-sale financial assets They include non-derivative financial assets that are designated in this category on initial recognition, and the financial assets other than the financial assets at fair value through profit and loss, loans and receivables and held-to-maturity investments. Available-for-sale financial assets are subsequently measured at fair value. The gain or loss on change in fair value are recognised as other comprehensive income and charged to capital reserves, except for impairment loss and exchange differences arising from foreign monetary financial assets and amortised cost which are accounted for through profit or loss for the current period. The financial assets will be transferred out of the financial assets on derecognition and accounted for through profit or loss for the current period. Interests received from available-for-sale financial assets held and the cash dividends declared by the investee are recognised as investment income. Financial liabilities are initially recognised at fair value. For financial liabilities measured at fair value and whose changes are carried through profit or loss, relevant transaction costs are directly recognised in profit or loss for the period. For financial liabilities classified as other categories, relevant transaction costs are included in the amount initially recognised. SHANDONG CHENMING PAPER HOLDINGS LIMITED 67 VIII.

Financial instruments (Cont’d) (2) Basis of recognition and method of measurement of financial assets (Cont’d) ① Financial liabilities measured at fair value and whose changes are carried through profit or loss for the period The criteria for a financial liability to be classified as held for trading and designated as at financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are the same as those for a financial asset to be classified as held for trading and designated as at financial assets at fair value through profit or loss. Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss for the period are subsequently measured at fair value. The gain or loss arising from changes in fair value and dividends and interest income related to such financial liabilities are included into the current profit or loss. ② Other financial liabilities Derivative financial liabilities which are linked to equity instruments that are not quoted in an active market and the fair value of which cannot be measured reliably measured, and which shall be settled by delivery of equity instruments are subsequently measured at cost. Other financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Gains or losses arising from derecognition or amortisation is recognised in profit or loss for the current period. 12 ③ Financial Guarantee Contracts INTERIM REPOR Financial guarantee contracts other than those designated as financial liabilities at fair value through T profit or loss are initially recognised at fair value, and shall be subsequently measured at the higher of the following: the amount determined in accordance with Accounting Standard for Business Enterprises No. 13 “Contingencies” and the amount initially recognised less cumulative amortisation recognised in accordance with the principles set out in Accounting Standard for Business Enterprises No. 14 “Revenue”. (3) Recognition and measurement of transfers of financial asset Financial asset that satisfied any of the following criteria shall be derecognised: ① the contract right to recover the cash flows of the financial asset has terminated; ② the financial asset, along with substantially all the risk and return arising from the ownership of the financial asset, has been transferred to the transferee; and ③ the financial asset has been transferred to the transferee, and the transferor has given up the control on such financial asset, though it does not assign maintain substantially all the risk and return arising from the ownership of the financial asset. When the entity does not either assign or maintain substantially all the risk and return arising from the ownership of the financial asset and does not give up the control on such financial asset, to the extent of its continuous involvement in the financial asset, the entity recognises it as a related financial asset and recognises the relevant liability accordingly. The extent of the continuous involvement is the extent to which the entity exposes to changes in the value of such financial assets. On derecognition of a financial asset, the difference between the following amounts is recognised in profit or loss for the current period: the carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received and any accumulated gain or loss that had been recognised directly in equity. If a part of the financial assets qualifies for derecognition, the carrying amount of the financial asset is allocated between the part that continues to be recognised and the part that qualifies for derecognition, based on the fair values of the respective parts. The difference between the following amounts is recognised in profit or loss for the period: the sum of the consideration received and the carrying amount of the part that qualifies for derecognition and the aforementioned carrying amount. 68 SHANDONG CHENMING PAPER HOLDINGS LIMITED VIII. Financial Report IV. Significant accounting policies, accounting estimates and amendments to differences in the previous period (Cont’d) 9. Financial instruments (Cont’d) (4) Derecognition of financial liabilities Financial liabilities are derecognised in full or in part only when the present obligation is discharged in full or in part. An agreement is entered between the Group (debtor) and a creditor to replace the original financial liabilities with new financial liabilities with substantially different terms, derecognise the original financial liabilities as well as recognise the new financial liabilities. When financial liabilities is derecognised in full or in part, the difference between the carrying amount of the financial liabilities derecognised and the consideration paid (including transferred non-cash assets or new financial liability) is recognised in profit or loss for the current period. (5) Method of determination of the fair value for financial assets and financial liabilities The fair value refers to the amount, at which both willing parties to a fair transaction who are familiar with the condition exchange their assets or clear off their debts under fair conditions. Financial instruments exist in an active market. Fair value is determined based on the quoted price in such market. An active market refers to where pricing is easily and regularly obtained from exchanges, brokers, industrial organisations and price-fixing service organisations, representing the actual price of a market transaction that takes place in a fair deal. While financial instruments do not exist in an active market, the fair value is determined using valuation techniques. Valuation technologies include reference to be familiar with situation and prices reached in recent market transactions entered into by both willing parties, reference to present fair values of similar other financial instruments, cash flow 12 INTERIM discounting method and option pricing models.

Basis for recognition and measurement of bad debt provision for accounts receivables The Group carries out an overall inspection on the carrying amount of accounts receivable on the balance sheet date. Where there arises any of the following objective evidences indicating that accounts receivable have been impaired, an impairment provision will be made: ① a serious financial difficulty occurs to the debtor; ② the debtor breaches any of the contractual stipulations (such as he fails to pay or delays the payment of interests or the principal); ③ the debtor will probably go bankrupt or carry out other financial reorganisations; ④ other objective evidences show that the accounts receivable are impaired. (1) Bad debt provision for a single significant item of accounts receivable Basis of determination or criterion of Accounts receivable of more than RMB1 million is recognised as amount for single significant items individually significant accounts receivable by the Group. Method for making bad debt provision For accounts receivable that is individually significant, the Group individually for single significant items assesses such accounts receivable individually for impairment. If it is determined that no objective evidence of impairment exists for an individually assessed financial asset, the financial asset is included in a group of financial assets with similar credit risk characteristics and collectively assessed for impairment. Accounts receivable for which an impairment loss is individually recognised are not included in a group of accounts receivable with similar credit risk characteristics and collectively assessed for impairment.

Provision for inventory impairment is made when the net realisable value is lower than the cost. Provisions for impairment of inventory shall be made according to the amount by which the cost of a single item exceeds its net realisable value. After making the provision for inventory impairment, in case the factors causing inventory impairment no longer exists, and the net realisable value of an inventory is higher than its book-value, the original provision for inventory impairment shall be transferred back and incorporated into the profit or loss for the current period. Net realisable value refers to the amount of the estimated price of inventories less the estimated cost incurred upon completion, estimated sales expenses and other amounts after tax and levies in daily operation. 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.

Long-term equity investments (1) Determination of initial investment cost For a long-term equity investment acquired through a business combination involving enterprises under common control, the initial investment cost of the long-term equity investment shall be the absorbing party’s share of the carrying amount of the owner’s equity of the party being absorbed at the date of combination. For a long- term equity investment acquired through business combination not involving enterprises under common control, the business combination cost is the aggregate of assets paid, liabilities incurred or undertook and fair value of equity securities issued by the acquirer. Agent fees incurred by the acquirer for the acquisition such as audit, legal service, and valuation and consultation fees, and other related administration expenses are charged to profit or loss in the current period at the time such expenses incurred. Transaction cost incurred for issuing 12 equity securities or debt securities, which are used as consideration for the combination, are included in the initial recognition amount of the equity securities or debt securities. INTERIM REPOR T The long-term equity investment acquired through means other than a business combination shall be initially measured at its cost. Such cost is depended upon the acquired means of long-term equity investments, which is recognised based on the purchase cost actually paid by the Group in cash, the fair value of equity securities issued by the Group, the agreed value of investment contract or agreement, the fair value or original carrying amounts of the non-monetary asset exchange transaction which the asset will be transferred out of the Group, and the fair value of long-term equity investment itself. The costs, taxes and other necessary expenses that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the long-term equity investments are also included in the investment cost (2) Method for subsequent measurement and profit or loss recognition Cost method is used to account for a long-term equity investment where the investor does not have joint control or significant influence over the investee, and the investment is not quoted in an active market and its fair value cannot be reliably measured. Long-term equity investments with joint control or significant influence on the investee are accounted for using equity method. Long-term equity investment without control or joint control or significant influence with a fair value which can be reliably measured is accounted for as available-for-sale financial assets. In addition, long-term equity investments with control on the investee are accounted for using cost method and record in the Company’s financial statements. ① Long-term equity investments accounted for using the cost method Under the cost method, a long-term equity investment is measured at its initial investment cost. Except 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, investment gains for the period is recognised as the cash dividends or profits declared by the investee. 72 SHANDONG CHENMING PAPER HOLDINGS LIMITED VIII.

Long-term equity investments (Cont’d) (2) Method for subsequent measurement and profit or loss recognition (Cont’d) ② Long-term equity investments accounted for using the equity method Under the equity method, where the initial investment cost of a long-term equity investment 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 initial investment cost. 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, the difference shall be charged to profit or loss for the current period, and the cost of the long term equity investment shall be adjusted accordingly. Under the equity method, investment gain or loss represents the Group’s share of the net profits or losses made by the investee for the current period. 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 in conformity with the accounting policies and accounting periods of the Group. The unrealised gain or loss from internal transactions entered into between the Group and its associated enterprises and joint ventures is set off according to the shareholding attributable to the Group and accounted for as investment income and loss based such basis. However, the unrealised gain or loss from internal transactions entered into between the Group and its investee is not set up if belonging to impairment loss from assets transferred according to regulations such as “Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises No. 8 “Assets impairment”. In respect of the other consolidated income 12 of investees, the carrying amount of long-term equity investments is accordingly adjusted and recognised INTERIM as other consolidated income and included in the capital reserves. REPOR T The Group’s share of net losses of the investee shall be recognised to the extent that the carrying amount of the long-term equity investment together with any long-term interests that in substance form part of the investor’s net investment in the investee are reduced to zero. If the Group has to assume additional obligations, the estimated obligation assumed shall be provided for and charged to the profit or loss as investment loss for the period. Where the investee is making profits in subsequent periods, the Group shall resume recognising its share of profits after setting off against the share of unrecognised losses. If there is debit variation in relation to the long-term equity investments in associates and joint venture held prior to first adoption of the Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises by the Group on 1 January 2007, the amounts amortised over the original residual term using the straight-line method is included in the profit or loss for the period. ③ Acquisition of minority interests Upon the preparation of the consolidated financial statements, since acquisition of minority interests increased of long-term equity investment which was compared to fair value of identifiable net assets recognised which are measured based on the continuous measurement since the acquisition date (or combination date) of subsidiaries attributable to the Group calculated according to the proportion of newly acquired shares, the difference of which recognised as adjusted capital surplus, capital surplus insufficient to set off impairment and adjusted retained earnings.

Long-term equity investments (Cont’d) (2) Method for subsequent measurement and profit or loss recognition (Cont’d) ④ Disposal of long-term equity investments In these consolidated financial statements, where the parent company disposes of a portion of the long- term equity investments in a subsidiary without a change in control, the difference between disposal cost and disposal of long-term equity investments relative to the net assets of the subsidiary is charged to the owners’ equity. If disposal of a portion of the long-term equity investments in a subsidiary by the parent company results in a change in control, it shall be treated in accordance with the relevant accounting policies as described in Note IV. 4. (2) “Preparation Method of the Consolidated Financial Statements”. On disposal of a long-term equity investment otherwise, the difference between the carrying amount of the investment and the actual consideration paid is recognised through profit or loss in the current period. Where the equity method is adopted, other comprehensive income attributable to the long-term equity investments previously included in shareholders’ equity shall be transferred to through profit or loss in the current period on a pro-rata basis. The remaining equity shall be recognised as the long-term equity investments or other relevant financial assets based on the carrying amount and subsequently measured in accordance with the accounting policies of the foresaid long-term equity investments or financial assets. The retrospective adjustment shall be made in accordance with the relevant provisions if the remaining equity is accounted for using the equity method instead of the cost method. 12 INTERIM (3) Recognition of having joint control or significant influence over the investee REPOR T Control means that the Group has the power to decide an enterprise’s financial and operating policy, pursuant to which, the Group can get the power to obtain benefits from its operating activities. Joint control is the contractually agreed sharing of control over an economic activity, which only exists when relevant and important financial affairs and management decisions related to such economic activity require sharing of control by investors who unanimously agree upon. Significant influence is the power to participate in the financial and operating policy decisions of an enterprise, but to fail to control or joint control the formulation of such policies together with other parties. In determining whether there is control or significance influence over the investee, potential voting right factors (such as the convertible corporate bonds for the period and the exercisable stock warrants for the period of the investee and other invested units held) were taken into account. (4) Impairment test method and impairment provision The Group assesses at each balance sheet date whether there is any indication that any long-term equity investments may be impaired. If there is any evidence indicating that an asset may be impaired, recoverable amount shall be estimated for the individual asset. If the recoverable amount of an asset is less than its carrying amount, the reduction is recognised as an impairment loss and charged to profit or loss for the current period. A provision for impairment loss of the asset is recognised accordingly. An impairment loss recognised on long-term equity investments shall not be reversed in a subsequent period. 74 SHANDONG CHENMING PAPER HOLDINGS LIMITED VIII. Financial Report IV.

Investment Property Investment property refer to real estate held to earn rentals or for capital appreciation, or both including the land use right that have been leased out; the land use right that held and will be transferred after appreciation; and the building that have been leased out. Investment property is initially measured at cost. Subsequent expenditures related to an investment property shall be included in cost of investment property only when the economic benefits associated with the asset will likely flow to the Group and its cost can be measured reliably. All other expenditures on investment property shall be included in profit or loss for the current period when incurred. The Group adopts cost method for subsequent measurement of investment property, which is depreciated or amortised using the same policy as that for buildings and land use rights. The method for impaired test of investment property and measurement of impairment provision are detailed in Note IV. 18 “Impairment of non-current non-monetary financial asset”. In the event that an owner-occupied property or inventories is converted to an investment property (or vice versa), upon the conversion, the property shall be stated at the carrying amount prior to the conversion. If an investment property is disposed of or if it withdraws permanently from use and no economic benefit will be obtained from the disposal, the recognition of it as an investment property shall be terminated. 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. 12 INTERIM REPOR 14. Fixed assets T (1) Conditions for recognition of fixed assets Fixed assets are tangible assets that are held for use in the production or supply of goods or services, for rental to others, or for administrative purposes; and have a useful life of more than one accounting year. (2) Recognition basis and measurement method of fixed assets under finance lease Leases are classified as finance leases whenever the terms of the lease transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to the lessee. Title may or may not eventually be transferred. The fixed asset leased by the finance lease is used the policy consistent with that of proprietary fixed assets for provision of depreciated leased asset. If it can be reasonably determined that the ownership of the leased asset can be obtained upon expiration of the lease term, the leased asset shall be depreciated over its useful life. If it cannot be reasonably determined that the ownership of the leased asset can be obtained at the expiration of the lease term, the leased asset shall be depreciated over the shorter of the lease term or its useful life.

Fixed assets (Cont’d) (3) Method for depreciation of different fixed assets A fixed asset shall be initially measured at cost and the effect of any expected costs of abandoning the asset at the end of its use. Depreciation is provided over its estimated useful life from the next month after it has been brought to its working condition for its intended use using the straight-line method. The useful life, estimated residual value and annual depreciation rate of each category of a fixed asset are as follows: Useful lives of Estimated Annual depreciation residual depreciation Category (year) value(%) rate(%) Buildings and structures 20-40 5-10 2.25-4.75 Machinery equipment 8-20 5-10 4.5-11.88 Electronic equipment 5 5-10 18.00-19.00 Transportation equipment 5-8 5-10 11.25-19.00 Other equipment Fixed assets under finance lease: — — — Of which: Buildings and structures 20-40 5-10 2.25-4.75 12 Machinery equipment Electronic equipment 8-20 5 5-10 5-10 4.5-11.88 18.00-19.00 INTERIM REPOR Transportation equipment 5-8 5-10 11.25-19.00 T Other equipment 76 SHANDONG CHENMING PAPER HOLDINGS LIMITED VIII.

Significant accounting policies, accounting estimates and amendments to differences in the previous period (Cont’d) (4) Impairment test methods and provision for impairment methods on fixed assets The Group will judge if there is any indication of impairment as at the balance sheet date in respect of fixed assets. If the impairment test result shows that the recoverable amount of an asset is less than its carrying amount, the impairment provision will be made according to the difference and recognised as an impairment loss. 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. An asset’s fair value is the price in a sale agreement in an arm’s length transaction. If there is no sale agreement but the asset is traded in an active market, fair value shall be determined based on the bid price. If there is neither sale agreement nor active market for an asset, fair value shall be based on the best available information. Costs of disposal are expenses attributable to disposal of the asset, including legal fee, relevant tax and surcharges, transportation fee and direct expenses incurred to prepare the asset for its intended sale. The present value of the future cash flows expected to be derived from the asset over the course of continued use and final disposal is determined as the amount discounted using an appropriately selected discount rate. Provisions for assets impairment shall be made and recognised for the individual asset. If it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of the individual asset, the Group shall determine the recoverable amount of the asset group to which the asset belongs. The asset group is the smallest group of assets capable of generating cash flows independently. An impairment loss recognised on the aforesaid assets shall not be reversed in a subsequent period in respect of the restorable value. (5) Explanation on other matters 12 INTERIM REPOR Subsequent expenditures incurred for a fixed asset shall be included in the cost of the fixed asset, only if it is T probable that economic benefits associated with the asset will flow to the Company and the relevant cost can be measured reliably; meanwhile the carrying amount of the replaced part shall be derecognised. Other subsequent expenditures shall be charged to profit or loss when incurred. When a fixed asset is sold, transferred, retired or damaged, the Group shall recognise the amount of any proceeds on disposal of the asset net of the carrying amount and related taxes in profit or loss for the current period. The Group reviews the useful life and estimated net residual value of a fixed 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.

Construction in progress (1) Types of construction in progress Construction is progress means project expenses for uncompleted addition, alteration, expansion or technological improvement, equipment upgrading and major overhaul of the fixed assets of the enterprise. (2) Criteria and time for transferring construction in progress to fixed assets Construction in progress is recognised based on the actual construction cost, including all 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 transferred to fixed assets when it has reached the working condition for its intended use. (3) Impairment test method and impairment provision method for construction in progress For construction in progress, the Group will judge if there is any indication of 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. If the impairment test result shows that the recoverable amount of an asset is less than its carrying amount, the impairment provision will be made according to the difference and recognised as an impairment loss. The 12 recoverable amount of an asset is the higher of its fair value less costs of disposal and the present value of the INTERIM future cash flows expected to be derived from the asset. An asset’s fair value is the price in a sale agreement in REPOR T an arm’s length transaction. If there is no sale agreement but the asset is traded in an active market, fair value shall be determined based on the bid price. If there is neither sale agreement nor active market for an asset, fair value shall be based on the best available information. Costs of disposal are expenses attributable to disposal of the asset, including legal fee, relevant tax and surcharges, transportation fee and direct expenses incurred to prepare the asset for its intended sale. The present value of the future cash flows expected to be derived from the asset over the course of continued use and final disposal is determined as the amount discounted using an appropriately selected discount rate. Provisions for assets impairment shall be made and recognised for the individual asset. If it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of the individual asset, the Group shall determine the recoverable amount of the asset group to which the asset belongs. The asset group is the smallest group of assets capable of generating cash flows independently. An impairment loss recognised on the aforesaid assets shall not be reversed in a subsequent period in respect of the restorable value. 78 SHANDONG CHENMING PAPER HOLDINGS LIMITED VIII.

Borrowing costs (1) Principles for recognising capitalisation of borrowing costs Borrowing costs incurred by the Company that are directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset are capitalised and included in the costs of the relevant assets when all the following conditions are satisfied: ① when expenditures for the asset have been incurred; ② when borrowing costs have been incurred; ③ activities relating to the acquisition, construction or production of the asset that are necessary to prepare the asset for its intended use have commenced,. Other differences in borrowing interest, discounts or premiums and exchange rate will be carried through profit and loss in the period in which they are incurred. (2) Period for capitalisation of borrowing costs For borrowing costs incurred that are directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset, capitalisation will begin when expenditures for the asset have been incurred, borrowing costs have been incurred, and activities relating to the acquisition, construction or production of the asset that are necessary to prepare the asset for its intended use or sale have commenced; capitalisation will stop when the 12 acquisition, construction or production of the qualifying asset have reached the expected status of the intended INTERIM use or sale. REPOR T (3) Period for suspension of capitalisation 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, until the acquisition, construction or production of the qualifying asset is resumed. (4) Calculation of the amount of capitalisation of 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 Group 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. SHANDONG CHENMING PAPER HOLDINGS LIMITED 79 VIII. Financial Report IV.

Biological assets Consumable biological assets refer to biological assets held for sale or to be harvested as agricultural produce in the future, which include growing commercial forests. Consumable biological assets are stated at cost at initial recognition. 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 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 value using the rotation age method. All the consumable biological assets of the Company are subsequently measured at fair value as they are quoted in an active market where the Company can obtain a quoted market price and other information of the same or similar consumable biological assets and thus their fair values can be reliably estimated. Changes in fair values shall be recognised as profit or loss in the current period. 18. Petroleum assets Not applicable 12 INTERIM REPOR T 80 SHANDONG CHENMING PAPER HOLDINGS LIMITED VIII.

Intangible assets (1) Measurement of intangible assets An intangible asset shall be initially measured at cost. The expenditures incurred on an intangible asset shall be recognised as cost of the intangible asset only if it is probable that economic benefits associated with the asset will flow to the Group and the cost of the asset can be measured reliably. Other expenditures on an item asset shall be charged to profit or loss when incurred. Land use right acquired shall normally be recognised as an intangible asset. Self-constructed buildings (e.g. plants), related land use right and the buildings shall be separately accounted for as an intangible asset and fixed asset. For buildings and structures purchased, the purchase consideration shall be allocated among the land use right and the buildings on a reasonable basis. In case there is difficulty in making a reasonable allocation, the consideration shall be recognised in full as fixed assets. An intangible asset with an infinite useful life shall be stated at cost less estimated net residual value and any accumulated impairment loss provision and amortised using the straight-line method//units of production method over its useful life when the asset is available for use. Intangible assets with indefinite life are not amortised. The Group shall review the useful life of intangible asset with an infinite useful life and the amortisation method applied at least at each financial year-end. A change in the useful life or amortisation method used shall be accounted for as a change in accounting estimate. For an intangible asset with an indefinite useful life, the Group shall review the useful life of the asset in each accounting period.

Intangible assets (Cont’d) (4) Impairment provision for intangible assets The Group will judge if there is any indication of impairment as at the balance sheet date in respect of intangible assets with a finite useful life. If there is any evidence indicating that an asset may be impaired, recoverable amount shall be estimated for impairment test. Intangible assets with an indefinite useful life and intangible assets beyond working conditions will be tested for impairment annually, regardless of whether there is any indication of impairment If the impairment test result shows that the recoverable amount of an asset is less than its carrying amount, the impairment provision will be made according to the difference and recognised as an impairment loss. 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. An asset’s fair value is the price in a sale agreement in an arm’s length transaction. If there is no sale agreement but the asset is traded in an active market, fair value shall be determined based on the bid price. If there is neither sale agreement nor active market for an asset, fair value shall be based on the best available information. Costs of disposal are expenses attributable to disposal of the asset, including legal fee, relevant tax and surcharges, transportation fee and direct expenses incurred to prepare the asset for its intended sale. The present value of the future cash flows expected to be derived from the asset over the course of continued use and final disposal is determined as the amount discounted using an appropriately selected discount rate. Provisions for assets impairment shall be made and recognised for the individual asset.

(5) Specific criteria for classifying internal research and development projects of the Company into the research phase and development phase Expenditure on internal research and development activities of the Group is categorised into expenditure arising from the research phase and expenditure arising from the development phase. Expenditure arising from the research phase is recognised as profit or loss in the current period. Expenses incurred during the development stage that satisfy the following conditions are recognised as intangible assets, while those that do not satisfy the following conditions are accounted for in the profit or loss for the current period: ① it is technically feasible that the intangible asset can be used or sold upon completion; ② there is intention to complete the intangible asset for use or sale; ③ the intangible asset can produce economic benefits, including there is evidence that the products produced using the intangible asset has a market or the intangible asset itself has a market; if the intangible asset is for internal use, there is evidence that there exists usage for the intangible asset; ④ there is sufficient support in terms of technology, financial resources and other resources in order to complete the development of the intangible asset, and there is capability to use or sell the intangible asset; ⑤ the expenses attributable to the development stage of the intangible asset can be measured reliably.

Revenue (1) The specific criteria for recognition of revenue from sales of goods Revenue is recognised when the Company has transferred to the buyer the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods, retains neither continuing managerial involvement to the degree usually associated with ownership nor effective control over the goods sold, will receive the economic benefits associated with the transaction, and can reliably measure the relevant amount of revenue and costs. (2) Basis for recognition of revenue from the use right of assigned assets Revenue is recognised on accrual basis according to the related contracts or agreements. (3) Basis and method for determination of completion schedule when revenue from the rendering of services and construction contracts is recognised based on the percentage-of-completion method When the outcome of a transaction involving the rendering of services can be reliably estimated, it shall, on the balance sheet date, recognise the revenue from the rendering of services employing the percentage-of-completion method. The completion schedule of transaction concerning the rendering of services shall be ascertained according to the proportion of service costs incurred to the estimated total costs. The outcome of a transaction concerning the rendering of services can be reliably estimated, which shall concurrently satisfy: ① The relevant amount of revenue can be reliably measured; economic benefits will flow into the enterprise; ② it is probable that the ③ the completion schedule of the transaction can be reliably 12 INTERIM ascertained; and ④ transaction costs incurred and to be incurred can be reliably measured. REPOR T When the outcome of a transaction involving the rendering of services cannot be reliably estimated, it shall recognise the revenue from the rendering of services based on the cost of rendering services already incurred and expected to be compensated, and the cost of rendering services incurred shall be recognised as an expense for the current period. If the cost of rendering services is expected not to be compensated, it shall be recognised as an expense. When a contract or agreement signed by the Group includes sales of goods and rendering of services, if sales of goods and rendering of services can be differentiated and separately measured, they will be recognised respectively. If sales of goods and rendering of services cannot be differentiated or cannot be separately measured, they will be recognised as sales of goods in full.

Government grant (1) Types Government grants are transfer of monetary assets or non-monetary assets from the government to the Group at no consideration, excluding capital considerations from the government as an owner of the Group. Government grants are classified into government grants related to assets and government grants related to income. (2) Accounting treatment If a government grant is in the form of a transfer of monetary asset, the item shall be measured at the amount received or receivable. If a government grant is in the form of a transfer of non-monetary asset, the item shall be measured at fair value. If fair value is not reliably determinable, the item shall be measured at a nominal amount and recognised immediately in profit or loss for the current period. 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. For a government grant related to income, if the grant is a compensation for related 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 are recognised; if the grant is a compensation for related expenses or losses already incurred, the grant shall be recognised immediately in profit or loss for the current period. 12 For the repayment of a government grant already recognised, if there is any related deferred income, the repayment shall be off set against the carrying amount of the deferred income, and any excess shall be recognised INTERIM REPOR in profit or loss for the current period; if there is no related deferred income, the repayment shall be recognised T immediately in profit or loss for the current period. 27. Deferred income tax assets and deferred income tax liabilities (1) Basis for recognition of deferred income tax assets Deferred income tax assets are not recognised for deductible temporary differences related to 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) at the time of the transaction. In addition, the Group recognises the corresponding deferred income tax asset for deductible temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which the deductible temporary differences can be utilised, except when both of the following conditions are satisfied: it is not probable that the temporary difference will reverse in the foreseeable future; and it is not probable that taxable profits will be available in the future, against which the temporary difference can be utilised. The Company recognises a deferred income tax asset for the carry forward of 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 losses and tax credits can be utilised. (2) Basis for recognition of deferred income tax liabilities Deferred income tax liabilities are not recognised for taxable temporary differences related to: 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) at the time of the transaction. In addition, the Group recognises the corresponding deferred income tax liability for taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures, except when both of the following conditions are satisfied: the Group 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. 86 SHANDONG CHENMING PAPER HOLDINGS LIMITED VIII.

Lease (1) Accounting treatment of operating lease (1) Operating lease business with the Group recorded as lessee Lease payment for operating lease is recognised as related asset cost or profits and losses for the current period using the straight-line method over the lease term. The initial direct cost is directly accounted in profit or loss for the current period. Contingent rent is recognised as profit or loss for the current period upon occurrence. (2) Operating lease business with the Group recorded as lessor Rental income is recognised in profit or loss for the current period using the straight-line method over the lease term. The initial direct cost where the amount is larger is capitalised when incurred, and accounted for as profit or loss for the current period on the same basis as recognition of rental income over the entire lease period; the initial direct cost where the amount is fewer is included in the profit or loss for the period when incurred. Contingent rental is accounted for as profit or loss for the period in which it is incurred. (2) Accounting treatment of finance lease Leases are classified as finance leases whenever the terms of the lease transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to the lessee. Title may or may not eventually be transferred. All other leases are classified 12 as operating leases. INTERIM REPOR T The Group as a lessee under a finance lease On the lease beginning date, a lessee shall recognise the lower of the fair value of the leased asset on the lease beginning date and the present value of the minimum lease payments as the recorded value, and recognise the minimum lease payments as the recorded value of long-term accounts payable, and the difference between such amounts shall be determined as unrecognised finance charge. The initial direct costs directly attributable to the leased item incurred during the process of lease negotiation and execution of the leasing agreement shall be accounted for as the value of the leased asset. The balance of the minimum lease payments after deducting the unrecognised financing charge shall be separately presented as long-term liabilities and long-term liabilities due within one year. The unrecognised financing charge shall be accounted for during the lease period using the effective interest method and recognised as financing charge for the period.

Assets held for sale (1) Criteria for recognition of assets held for sale If the Group has made a resolution in respect of disposal of a non-current asset and signed an irrevocable transfer agreement with the transferee, and such transfer is likely to be completed within one year, this non-current asset shall be accounted for as non-current assets held for sale. (2) Accounting treatment for assets held for sale The non-current assets held for sale are not depreciated nor amortised and calculated at the lower of carrying amount and net amount of the fair value less disposal cost. Non-current assets held for sale include individual as set and disposal group. If the group of disposal is a set of asset groups and goodwill received from business combination is allocated to such asset groups in accordance with the “Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises No.8 “Assets Impairment” or such disposal group is an operation in the asset groups, it shall include the goodwill in business combination. If an asset or disposal group is classified as held for sale, but fails to meet recognition requirements for non- current assets held for sale, it shall no longer be classified as assets held for sale and calculated at the lower of the following two amounts: (i) the carrying amount of such asset or disposal group before being classified as assets held for sale subsequent to the adjustment to the originally recognised depreciation, amortisation or impairment under the condition that they are not classified as assets held for sale; and (2) the recoverable amount 12 at the date on which no future sale is decided.
