             VI. Directors’ report




             (I)   Management discussion and analysis

                   1.   General overview during the reporting period

                        In the first half of 2012, the paper industry was affected by the macroeconomic environment due to the significant
                        slowdown of the national economic growth. 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.

         2.   Production and operation (Cont’d)

              Explanation leading to the major changes:

              (1)   Prepayments increased by 36.64% as compared to the beginning of the year mainly due to an increase in the
                    advance payment for materials made by the Company.

              (2)   Other receivables decreased by 26.88% as compared to the beginning of the year mainly due to receipt of
                    proceeds from disposal of Chibi Chenming and Xianning Chenming in the year 2011 in accordance with the
                    provisions of the contracts during that reporting period.

              (4)   Deferred income tax assets increased by 47.87% as compared to the beginning of the year mainly due to the
                    market downturn at the macroeconomic level and in the paper making industry level, some companies generated
                    deferred income tax, which could be used for offsetting for losses.

              (5)   Bills payable increased by 168.84% as compared to the beginning of the year mainly due to an increase in bank

              (8)   Interest payable increased by 61.03% as compared to the beginning of the year mainly due to the provision of

              (9)   The closing balance of dividend payable was RMB309,306,891.20 mainly due to the payment of unpaid dividend
                    declared by the Company.

              (10) Non-current liabilities due within one year increased by 48.32% as compared to the beginning of the year mainly

   INTERIM         3.   The development trend of the industry and the outlook of the Company’s business
    REPOR          
    T                   The industry to which the Company belongs is the paper making industry, which is a light industry. The paper making
                        industry is an important basic raw material industry which is closely related to the national economy and social
                        development. The paper making industry is characterised as being capital intensive and skill intensive as well as having
                        prominent economies of scale. Its growth rate is strongly and positively correlated to GDP. The government will continue
                        to implement the proactive fiscal policy and solid monetary policy so the national economy will enjoy steady and rapid
                        development. The development conditions of the paper making industry are gradually improved. Recently, the National
                        Development and Reform Commission, Ministry of Industry and Communication and State Forestry Administration have
                        jointly issued the Twelfth Five-Year Plan for the Development of the Paper Making Industry, which clearly states the
                        general direction of “controlling total volume, promoting concentration, optimising raw materials and reducing energy
                        consumption and emission”, from which the Company is expected to benefit in the long run.
                   
                        In recent years, the Company is committed to the integrated development of forestry, pulp and paper with a longer
                        industry chain and a more comprehensive paper product mix. The Company carried out a series of capacity expansion
                        on paper products with better prospects. The Company’s direction of development is in line with the requirements of
                        the development plan of the paper making industry as a whole. Although the industry undergo short-term downturn
                        to a certain extent, the Company will have exponential growth in performance once the industry recovers, and the
                        Company’s future performance is still much anticipated.

         5.   Future capital requirement, sources of funds and their planned use (Cont’d)

              All risk factors which may adversely affect the achievement of the Company’s future development strategies and
              business objectives

              During the reporting period, the domestic market competition became more intense due to the downturn of the
              macroeconomic environment with excess new production capacity in the industry made available. The Company’s new
              projects had commenced operation successively but they were unable to make profit on a timely basis due to market
              reasons. The company has higher leverage now. Fluctuation of the state deposit and lending interest rates will directly
              cause fluctuation of interests undertaken by the Company so as to affect the Company’s profitability. Therefore, the
              Company specifies following measures: First, the Company will further improve its international marketing network,
              improve its organisation structure of its overseas companies, adjust its sales channels and further expand its overseas
              market, especially for the coated paper products, high-end duplex press paper, electrostatic small paper and other
              high-end products, devote great efforts to exports and fund collection, and relieve domestic market pressure. Second,
              the Company will make full use of the financing platform of the Hong Kong market, seek the bonding point of Hong
              Kong and domestic businesses, increase Hong Kong Chenming’s credit line and expand the business of Hong Kong
              Chenming. Third, the Company will actively apply for the establishment of the Group’s finance company to enhance
              the centralised management of the Group’s fund and improve the efficiency of capital use so as to further increase the
              Group’s fund settlement, management, investment and financing ability, thereby reducing the financing cost.

              Reason for the greater change of gross profit margin as compared to the same period of last year: In the first half of
              2012, the gross profit margin during the reporting period was lower as compared to the same period of last year due to
              the economic environment of the industry.

               The outlook for the second half of the year is characterised as challenging and complicated for the domestic and

              Code of Corporate Governance for Listed Companies(《上市公司治理準則》, Rules Governing Listing of Stocks on
              Shenzhen Stock Exchange(《深圳證券交易所股票上市規則》, Hong Kong Listing Rules and the related requirements as
              required by China Securities Regulatory Commission. The Company further improved and optimised its legal person
              governance structure during the reporting period. The Board considers there is no material deviation of the Company in
              its corporate governance from the regulatory documentation requirements provided for listed companies in respect of
              corporate governance.

              The cash dividend distribution principle as set out in the Articles of Association, the conditions, form and percentage
              of the distribution, the intervals of profit distribution, the decision making process of the profit distribution policy and
              the adjustment to the profit distribution policy were optimized and supplemented based on the its actual operations in
              accordance with the related requirements of Notice of Reproducing Notice regarding Further Implementation of Cash
              Dividends Distribution of Listed Companies of CSRC (Lu Zheng Jian Fa [2012] No. 18)” issued by Shandong branch
              of China Securities Regulatory Commission. The amendments had been submitted to the Board of the Company
              considered and approved and would be implemented upon consideration and approval by the general meeting. The
              Company strictly implemented its related system of internal control to facilitate its regulated operation and healthy
              development, thereby protecting the legal interests of investors. The corporate governance of the Company was exactly
              the same as what was required by the CSRC. The regulated operations and the internal control standards would grow
              with the development of the Company.

              The Company is committed to attaining good standard of corporate governance practices in order to enhance
              shareholders’ value. Saved as disclosed below, none of the Directors is aware of any information that would reasonably                           12
              indicate that the Company is not, or was not for any part of the reporting period, in compliance with the Code on INTERIM
                                                                                                                                      REPOR
              Corporate Governance Practice/Corporate Governance Code, as set out in Appendix 14 of the Rules Governing the T
              Listing of Securities on the Stock Exchange (“Hong Kong Listing Rules”).

              The chairman and general manager of the Company is Mr. Chen Hongguo.

              Mr. Chen Hongguo performs the roles of the chairman and the general manager for the overall management of the
              Company. This constitutes a deviation from the principles and code provisions under Appendix 14 to Hong Kong
              Listing Rules. However, the Directors of the Company believe that Mr. Chen Hongguo as the chairman and the general
              manager will enable the Company to more effectively plan and implement the business strategies so that the Group
              can effectively and rapidly seize business opportunities. As all major decisions will be made after consultation with
              other members of the Board, the Company believes that the supervision of the Board and independent non-executive
              directors will strike a sufficient balance of power and authority.

         2.   Performance of independent non-executive Directors


              In the reporting period, each of the independent non-executive Directors continued to suggest constructive opinion

       1.   Qihe Chenming Panels Co., Ltd. (“Qihe Panels”) suspended its production since June 2008. As at the end of June
            2012, its net assets amounted to RMB-7,248,484.56. It is held by Qihe Paperboard Co., Ltd. and Shandong Chenming
            Panels Co., Ltd., controlling subsidiaries of the Company, as to 51% and 49% respectively. Qihe Paperboard Co., Ltd.
            disposed of and transfered its 51% equity interest in Qihe Panels to Shandong Chenming Panels Co., Ltd. to adjust its
            strategic positioning and to facilitate the corporate management. Upon completion of the transfer of the equity interests,
            Qihe Paperboard Co., Ltd. will not hold any equity interest in Qihe Panels and Shandong Chenming Panels Co., Ltd. will
            hold 100% equity interest in Qihe Panels. The transfer of the equity interest had no effect on the profit of the Company
            for the two quarters.

            Taking the need for production and operation of Huanggang Chenming into account, the Company made contribution               
            to Huanggang Chenming with its own capital. The registered capital of Huanggang Chenming increased from RMB10.00             
                                                                                                                                         
            million to RMB70.00 million and the increased registered capital would be solely used for the establishment of the

            solid foundation for further direct financing of Huanggang Chenming.

                  5.   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.

       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

                                   currency at the prevailing spot exchange rate on the date of exchange while the Company’s foreign currency

                                   which are qualified for capitalisation; ② and except for other carrying amounts of the amortisation costs, the

                                   non-monetary items measured at fair value are translated at the spot exchange rate on the date of

                       (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

                                   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.

                  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

                       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.

                                         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.

                                         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

                             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.

             (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 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.

             (3)   Accounts receivable insignificant but making bad debt provisions individually

                   Reasons for making bad debt provisions individually

                   The Group conducts impairment tests for the single item with insignificant account receivables but with following
                   features. if there is objective evidence indicating that the accounts receivable is impaired, then impairment loss
                   will be recognised and provision for bad debts according to the difference when the present value of future cash
                   flow is fewer than its carrying amounts: accounts receivable with dispute against counterparties or involved in
                   litigation or arbitration; there is obvious objective of the accounts receivable indicated that the debtor is likely to
                   fail to comply with the repayment obligation, etc.

                   Method for making bad debt provisions:

                   Bad debt provisions are made based on the difference between the present value of the future cash flow and the
                   book value in determining the impairment loss.

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

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

    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.

                        difference shall be charged to profit or loss for the current period, and the cost of the long term equity

                                    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.

    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.

       13.   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

             (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.




                                                                               SHANDONG CHENMING PAPER HOLDINGS LIMITED                       75

                              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:

           (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

           (5)   Explanation on other matters                                                                                                12

                                                                                                                                           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.




                                                                             SHANDONG CHENMING PAPER HOLDINGS LIMITED                        77

                  15.   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.

       16.   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

                        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.

       19.   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

                    shall review the useful life of the asset in each accounting period. If there is evidence indicating that the useful life
                    of that intangible asset is finite, the Company shall estimate the useful life of that asset and apply the accounting

                        (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. If it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of the individual asset, the Group shall
   12                         determine the recoverable amount of the asset group to which the asset belongs. The asset group is the smallest
   INTERIM
    REPOR
                              group of assets capable of generating cash flows independently.
    T                   
                              An impairment loss recognised on the aforesaid assets shall not be reversed in a subsequent period in respect of
                              the restorable value.

                              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.

       25.   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

                   When the outcome of a transaction involving the rendering of services cannot be reliably estimated, it shall

                   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

                   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.

                  26.   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.

       28.   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. Contingent rent payments are recognised in the profit and loss for
             the period when actually incurred.




                                                                                SHANDONG CHENMING PAPER HOLDINGS LIMITED                       87

                        (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

                               Accounts receivable of more than RMB1 million are recognised as accounts receivable individually significant.
   12                          A no-risk portfolio is the accounts receivable which are individually significant or have certain specific risk
   INTERIM                     features and are determined by the management to be not impaired as at the balance sheet date upon subject to
    REPOR
    T                          impairment tests separately. A general-risk portfolio is the accounts receivable for which bad debts are provided
                               under credit risk portfolio as they are not qualified to be subject to impairment tests separately (individually
                               significant or have certain specific risk features) and are classified into some portfolios based on the credit
                               risk features such as age and the percentage of bad debt provision of each portfolio is determined against the
                               common risk features of each portfolio by the management. Accounts receivable of less than RMB1 million but
                               individually provided for bad debt are recognised as accounts receivable not individually significant but individually
                               provided for bad debt.

                              Other receivables of more than RMB1 million are recognised as other receivables individually significant. A no-
                              risk portfolio is the other receivables which are individually significant or have certain specific risk features and
                              are determined by the management to be not impaired as at the balance sheet date upon subject to impairment
                              tests separately. A general-risk portfolio is the other receivables for which bad debts are provided under credit
                              risk portfolio as they are not qualified to be subject to impairment tests separately (individually significant or have
                              certain specific risk features) and are classified into some portfolios based on the credit risk features such as age
                              and the percentage of bad debt provision of each portfolio is determined against the common risk features of
                              each portfolio by the management. Other receivables of less than RMB1 million but individually provided for bad
                              debt are recognised as other receivables not individually significant but individually provided for bad debt.

               Explanation on impairment test method and impairment provision on goodwill:

               For the purpose of impairment testing, the carrying amount of goodwill presented separately in the financial statements
               shall be allocated to the asset groups or group of assets benefiting from synergy of business combination. If the
               recoverable amount is less than the carrying amount, the Group shall recognise an impairment loss. The amount of
               impairment loss shall first reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the asset group or set of asset
               groups, and then reduce the carrying amount of other assets (other than goodwill) within the asset group or set of asset
               groups, pro rata on the basis of the carrying amount of each asset.

               An impairment loss recognised on the aforesaid assets shall not be reversed in a subsequent period in respect of the 
               restorable value.

               The goodwill of the Company arose from the business combination not under common control during the prior years
                                                                                                                                                                                     INTERIM
               On the balance sheet date, management of the Company assesses the recoverable amount of cash-generating                                                                REPOR

               unit which results goodwill, in order to determine whether to make provision for impairment loss accordingly. The
               recoverable amount of cash-generating unit is determined based on the estimated cash flow in financial budget of five
               years in the future by management, using the steady annual growth rate in the industry of 5% (2011: 5%) expected by
               the market, and time value of currency was estimated using the discount rate of 8.32% (2011: 8.32%). Management of
               the Company expects no provision for impairment loss is necessary to be made for goodwill during the reporting period.

                          During the reporting period, the Company did not have any potential diluted ordinary shares. Therefore, diluted earnings
                          per share are equal to basic earnings per share.

                          1.      Net profit for the period attributable to ordinary shareholders for the purpose of calculating earnings per share are
                                  as follows:

                          2.      For the purpose of calculating earnings per share, the denominator is the weighted average of outstanding
                                  ordinary shares. The calculation is as follows:

                            A no-risk portfolio is the accounts receivable which are individually significant or have certain specific risk
                            features and are determined by the management to be not impaired as at the balance sheet date upon subject to
                            impairment tests separately. A general-risk portfolio is the accounts receivable for which bad debts are provided
                            under credit risk portfolio as they are not qualified to be subject to impairment tests separately (individually
                            significant or have certain specific risk features) and are classified into some portfolios based on the credit
                            risk features such as age and the percentage of bad debt provision of each portfolio is determined against the
                            common risk features of each portfolio by the management.
