          IV Chairman’s Statement


          Dear shareholders,

          It is my pleasure to present the financial report as of 30 June 2013 to all shareholders and express my gratitude, for all shareholders’
          concern and support to Chenming Paper on behalf of the board of directors.

          During the reporting period, a higher concentration ratio was secured due to the slowdown in the growth of the supply of the paper
          making industry and the elimination of outdated production capacity, which was conducive to a proactive increase in price proposed
          by enterprises. Meanwhile, the continuation of the appreciation of RMB and the increased downward pressure on raw material
          prices relieved the pressure on the operating costs of enterprises. The profitability of the Company turned around as compared to
          the corresponding period of the prior year.

          The reporting period saw the normal operation of the Company’s projects such as Zhanjiang Chenming’s pulp project, 800,000
          tonne coated paper project and 600,000 tonne white coated linerboard project. The Company, accordingly, achieved steady growth
          in production capacity on the basis of 2012. In order to expand its industry chain and increase its sustainable profitability, the
          Company had invested in magnesite mining and Zhanjiang waterfront regulation works and they were carried out as scheduled.

          and the gross margin of the products in the market, the Company invested in Wuhan Chenming household paper project and
          Jiangxi Chenming high-end packaging paper project. Upon completion of the projects, the Company will further leverage its scale
          advantages, and thus further enhance the market competitiveness of the Company.


          I.    Operating Results
                During the reporting period, the Company completed machine-made paper production of 2,020,000 tonnes, representing an
                increase of 100,000 tonnes or 5.21% as compared with 1,920,000 tonnes in the corresponding period of the prior year. The
                Company’s revenue amounted to RMB10,028 million, up by RMB63 million as compared to the corresponding period of prior
13              year or up by 0.64%. The operating costs were RMB8,251 million, down by RMB249 million or 2.93% from the corresponding
INTERIM         period of prior year. The operating profit and net profit attributable to equity holders of the Company were RMB97.3169 million
 REPORT
                and RMB333.4095 million respectively, up by 146.64% and 253.77% respectively.


          II.   Corporate Governance
                During the reporting period, the Company regulated its operation under the requirements of Companies Law, Securities Law,
                Code of Corporate Governance for Listed Companies, Rules Governing Listing of Stocks on Shenzhen Stock Exchange,

                considered the state of the Company’s corporate governance was substantially in compliance with the requirements and
                requests of the regulatory documentation such as Code of Corporate Governance for Listed Companies.

                During the reporting period, the Board strived to regulate the operation of the Company by improving its corporate
                governance. It improved corporate governance practice in a timely manner and formulated and optimised management
                systems including the amended version of Articles of Association, Investor Relationship Management system, Implementation

IV. Future Development
    The industry to which the Company belongs is the paper making industry, which is a light industry. The business sentiments
    of the industry are highly related to the macroeconomic growth. The overall profitability of the paper making industry hovered
    around at a low level from the beginning of the year. However, a higher concentration ratio was obtained due to the slowdown
    in the growth of the supply of the paper making industry and the elimination of outdated production capacity. In the long
    run, the development conditions of the paper making industry gradually improve. 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 more comprehensive paper types. During the reporting period, the Company carried out a series of capacity
    expansion on paper types with better prospects. The Company’s direction of development is in line with the requirements of
    the development plan of the entire paper making industry. Meanwhile, the Company has expanded its industry chain with a
    more rationalised industry positioning, which further strengthens the Company’s competitiveness and development potential.
    As the economy and industry gradually recover, it is expected that the result of the Company will record stable growth. The
    Company’s future performance is what the market can look forward to.

    In the second half of 2013, the Company will deal with the following major areas based on the strategic objectives formulated
    by the Company:

    (1)   Adhere to strategy guidelines and make a blueprint for development plan. We shall focus on project establishment,

          of the financing platform of the Hong Kong market in order to increase its credit line and expand its business scope,

V Directors’ Report


I.   Overview
     During the reporting period, the previous round of intensive expansion in the paper making industry was basically completed.
     Papermaking enterprises were unlikely to expand in the near future due to the sentiment in the industry. In addition, some
     the small and medium-sized enterprises left the market as a result of elimination of outdated production capacity and stricter
     environmental protection policy. This partly lowered the pressure of the new production capacity on the supply in the industry.
     A higher concentration ratio was secured due to the slowdown in the growth of the supply of the paper making industry
     and the elimination of outdated production capacity, which was conducive to a proactive increase in price proposed by
     enterprises. Meanwhile, the continuation of the appreciation of RMB and the increased downward pressure on raw material
     prices relieved the pressure on the operating costs of enterprises. As compared to the corresponding period of prior year, the
     profitability of our major operations improved during the reporting period. The profit margin of our paper products was higher
     as compared to the corresponding period of prior year.

     During the reporting period, the Company strived to establish itself as an international leading papermaking enterprise which
     operated in an environmental friendly and sustainable manner. We focused on our development and were driven by innovative
     ideas. We invested in the household paper project of Wuhan Chenming and magnesite mining project, entered into contract
     for the waterfront regulation works BT project in Zhanjiang City and were engaged in Wuhan Chenming cultural paper
     machine upgrade project, which accelerated the structural adjustment of the Company and facilitated the transformation and
     upgrade of the Company. We put more efforts to conduct technology research, optimised the combination of production,
     learning, research and utilisation in both channel and system, and achieved better results in surface enhancement technology
     and finished paper ash content technology. Meanwhile, we complied with environmental protection policies, applied new
     technology and skills, promoted the recycle economy, enhanced comprehensive utilisation of resources and improved energy
     saving and emission reduction.

     During the reporting period, the Company enhanced innovative management. We managed our staff through our system and
     operated in accordance with the standard. We fully utilised the capital market to improve the standard of capital settlement,
                                                                                                                                       13

     management, investment and financing of the Group. We enhanced our financial management and lowered the financial costs.           REPORT
     We optimised our procurement management and implemented the “purchase on demand” mode. We optimised our internal
     control procedure, improved our risk prevention system and strengthened procedure supervision and controlled major risk.
     The Company developed an innovative staff development programme. Based on the demand for development, the Company
     put greater efforts on recruiting talents who possessed advance and new technology knowledge, and management talents.
     The Company endeavoured to develop a high quality team with the same philosophy as the Company and adaptable to the
     strategic development.

     During the reporting period, the Company accelerated the adjustment in product structure, enhanced product quality
     management, increased the development on high valued-added products, put more efforts in direct sale and expanded
     overseas sale channels. We convened meeting with contracted distributors during the first half of 2013, which enhanced the
     recognition of Chenming brand, the brand image and influence of the Company.

          II.   Analysis of principal operations (Cont’d)
                3.   Development trend in the industry and corporate outlook
                     The industry to which the Company belongs is the paper making industry, which is a light industry. The sentiment
                     within the industry is closely related to the macroeconomic growth rate. Since the beginning of 2013, the growth
                     rate of the downstream demand of the domestic paper making industry was still at a low level. The weak domestic
                     demand persisted with the overall profitability in the paper making industry hovered around at a low level. However, the
                     development conditions for the paper making industry gradually improved in the long run. The National Development
                     and Reform Commission, Ministry of Industry and Communication and State Forestry Administration 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 more comprehensive paper types. During the reporting period, the Company carried out capacity
                     expansion on paper types with better prospects. The Company’s direction of development is in line with the
                     requirements of the development plan of the entire paper making industry. Meanwhile, the Company has expanded its
                     industry chain with a more rationalised industry positioning, which further strengthens the Company’s competitiveness
                     and development potential. As the economy and industry gradually recover, it is expected that the result of the
                     Company will record stable growth. The Company’s future performance is what the market can look forward to.

                4.   During the second half of 2013, the Company will primarily engage in the following works which are in
                     line with our strategic objectives:
13                   (1)   Adhere to strategy guidelines and make a blueprint for development plan. We focus on project establishment
INTERIM                    and enhance technology upgrade. For technology upgrade projects, we will make verification and pick up the
 REPORT
                           pace to ensure high quality and good results. We will make more efforts to conduct technology research and
                           optimise the combination of production, learning, research and utilisation in both channel and system. Meanwhile,
                           we will comply with environmental protection policies, apply new technology and skills, promote the recycle
                           economy, enhance comprehensive utilisation of resources and improve energy saving and emission reduction.

                     (2)   Strengthen innovation management and enhance working efficiency. We will introduce advanced management
                           mode. We will optimise purchase management and put the “purchase on demand” mode on trial. A finance
                           company is established to intensify the centralised management of the Group’s fund and enhance our financial
                           management. We make full use of the financing platform of the Hong Kong market in order to expand our
                           business scope, lower our financial costs and improve our profitability. Quality is the essence of a corporation.
                           Adhering to the object of improving quality and increasing economic benefits, the Company will strive to realise
                           “all staff, whole process and the entire corporation” quality management and strengthen our quality management.
                           We optimise flow of internal control, and bring risk-prevention management system into perfection, intensify and
                           promote the transformation of internal audit into management audit and risk audit, and perfect corporate legal
                           risk-prevention mechanism, and strengthen process oversights and management and control over significant
                           risks, aiming to enhance the internal control construction.

                     (3)   Adjust product portfolio and explore new markets. The Company will enhance product quality management,
                           increase the development on high value-added products, produce popular products as well as increase the
                           market competitiveness of products. The Company endeavours to produce products at low cost in order to meet
                           client’s needs, leverage on its low cost edge and increase the efficiency. The Company will put more efforts
                           in direct marketing and expand its overseas sales channels. The Company will target on major direct clients.
                           Meanwhile, the Company will explore cooperation opportunities with strong major distributors, and increase the
                           overseas market exposure of products via their sales channels. The Company will expand the marketing channels
                           for its brand and organise promotion activities. Hence, the recognition of Chenming brand will increase, which will
                           fully enhance the brand image and influence of the Company.

      4.   During the second half of 2013, the Company will primarily engage in the following works which are in
           line with our strategic objectives: (Cont’d)
           (4)   Strengthen team-building and improve staff quality. Human resources are the “major essential” for corporate
                 development. The Company will develop an innovative staff development programme. The Company will focus
                 on its recruitment and training works. It aims to maintain a fair staff system. The Company will enhance its staff
                 training and conduct a people-oriented way. The Company will also enhance the technical standard of various
                 position, aiming to develop as a learning and knowledgeable enterprise. The Company will establish a good
                 working and living environment, which strengthen staff’s loyalty and unity to the Company.

           (5)   Build up Chenming corporate culture and promote culture promotion and implementation. The Company
                 adheres to the establishment of corporate culture. It strives to “achieve a high degree of integration of corporate
                 governance and corporate culture” as well as ensures proper internal cooperation with all works conducted
                 orderly. The Company will strengthen the establishment of culture system, its promotion and implementation,
                 aiming to make all staff have a deeper understanding on Chenming corporate culture. This can promote
                 incorporation of culture into thought and management and make corporate culture as a direction of all works,
                 which can improve the quality and execution ability of staff. Hence, a brand new Chenming corporate culture is
                 established.

      5.   Capital requirements, source of funds and plan for usage
           The Company’s new projects had commenced operation successively but they were unable to make profit on a timely
           basis due to market reasons. At present, the Company has higher leverage. 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         13
           profitability. Therefore, the Company specifies the following measures: First, the Company will further improve its          INTERIM
                                                                                                                                         REPORT
           international marketing network, improve its organisation structure of its overseas companies, adjust its sales channels
           and step up effort to 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. Secondly, the Company will make full use of the financing platform of the Hong Kong
           market, seek the matching point of Hong Kong and domestic businesses, increase Hong Kong Chenming’s credit line
           and expand the business of Hong Kong Chenming. Thirdly, the Company will actively establish 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 its
           financing cost.

          II.   Analysis of principal operations (Cont’d)
                6.   Potential risks
                     As a basic raw materials industry of the national economy, the papermaking industry’s overall efficiency has a
                     strong correlation with the national macroeconomic performance, and is therefore a cyclical industry. The national
                     macroeconomic performance will have a greater impact on the market demand for paper products, which will
                     further affect the product price and cost of raw materials, and will ultimately affect the operating results of the
                     papermaking enterprises, including the Company. There still exist some uncertainties and complexities in China’s future
                     macroeconomic trends. Thus, the Company still faces the risk of earnings level being affected by macroeconomic
                     fluctuations.

                     Operational risk. The major raw materials used by the Company are wood pulp and waste paper. The relatively high
                     market price fluctuations of wood pulp and waste paper have affected the production cost of the Company’s machine-
                     made paper products, and thus have an impact on the performance of the Company.

                     Industry risk. China’s papermaking industry has been facing increasingly fierce competition. Domestic papermaking
                     enterprises have launched new projects, introduced advanced equipment, expanded production capacity and promoted
                     sales. International renowned papermaking enterprises also participated directly in the domestic market competition by
                     leveraging on their advantages in scale and technology. The fierce competition in the domestic papermaking industry
                     will certainly affect the Company’s future operating results.

                     Policy risk. From the point of view of China’s policy, China will change the mode of growth through optimising the
                     layout of the papermaking industry and the raw material structure and product structure, in order to promote a modern
                     papermaking industry based on recycling by integrating the forestry and papermaking industry, which will have an
13                   impact on the operating results of the Company.

INTERIM              Environmental risk. The papermaking industry is a polluting industry. With the rising awareness of environment
 REPORT
                     protection in the society and the industry, more stringent environmental protection policies of the industry have been
                     implemented. A multi-pronged approach has been adopted to promote industrial restructuring, and the papermaking
                     industry has entered into an important transition period of development. The higher emission standard is bound to
                     increase the Company’s environmental protection cost and will result in the slowing down of scale expansion.

                     Interest rate risk. In recent years, greater fluctuations of the Renminbi benchmark lending rate level have an impact on
                     the Company’s cost of debt financing. The People’s Bank of China may continue to adjust the level of the benchmark
                     interest rate according to the macroeconomic trends, which may cause greater volatility in the Company’s financial
                     expenses, thus affecting its operating results.

                     Exchange rate risk. As an import and export enterprise, the exchange rate of Renminbi against other currencies in future
                     will affect the Company’s operating results. The foreign currency transactions of the Company are mainly denominated
                     in US$. The operations of raw material imports, product exports and US$ borrowings of the Company will face the risk
                     of exchange rate changes.

                    and the Company’s energy consumption per ton of paper was also controlled at a relatively low level; secondly, the
                    Company has established a 150 tonnes/day mechanical pulp production line and a BCTMP pulp production line with
                    annual production of 250,000 tonnes, and has also increased the raw materials supply by launching the construction of
                    the 700,000 tonnes of wood pulp project in Zhanjiang; thirdly, the Company has reduced costs through the construction
                    of the captive power plant to ensure energy supply.

          VI Material Matters


          I.   Overview of corporate governance (Cont’d)
               (III)   Corporate Governance Code
                       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
                       indicate that the Company is not, or was not for any part of the reporting period, in compliance with the Corporate
                       Governance Code and Corporate Governance Report, as set out in Appendix 14 of the Rules Governing the Listing of
                       Securities on the Stock Exchange (“Hong Kong Listing Rules”).

                       1.   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 of A2 - Directors and Chief Executive Office in Corporate Governance
                            Code and Corporate Governance Report under Appendix 14 to Hong Kong Listing Rules. However, the Directors
                            of the Company believe that Mr. Chen Hongguo acting 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.   Communication with shareholders

VII. Significant connected party transactions (Cont’d)
    3.   Other significant connected party transactions
         On 6 February 2013, the Company convened the 8th extraordinary meeting of the sixth session of the Board, in which
         “Resolution on capital increase in Haiming Mining and introduction of the shareholder” was passed. The current
         registered capital of Haiming Chenming was relatively limited and did not commence any revenue generating operation.
         Having considered operational risks and capital requirements for future projects of Haiming Chenming, the Company
         decided to increase the capital of Haiming Chenming to RMB240 million upon discussion with shareholders, which
         benefited the Company and shareholders as a whole and shareholders could share all risks and work together. The
         Company, Liaoning BeiHai Industries Group Co., Ltd. and Shouguang Hengtai Enterprise Investment Company Limited
         made capital contributions in the amounts of RMB74.00 million, RMB42.00 million and RMB24.00 million respectively to
         the registered capital of Haiming Chenming. Upon completion of the capital increase, the registered capital of Haiming
         Mining increased to RMB240 million, which was owned as to 60%, 30% and 10% by the Company, BeiHai Industries
         and Hengtai Enterprise respectively. As the Chairman and some of the directors, supervisors and senior management
         of the Company had equity interest in Hengtai Enterprise, the capital contributions by Hengtai Enterprise to Haiming
         Mining constituted a connected transaction. The capital increase and introduction of new shareholders of Haiming
         Mining was completed on 13 March 2013. The registered capital of Haiming Mining changed to RMB240 million.

    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

               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          13
               combination. For a business combination not involving enterprises under common control, the party that, on the            INTERIM
                                                                                                                                          REPORT
               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.




                                                                            SHANDONG CHENMING PAPER HOLDINGS LIMITED                       67

                   (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 under common control, the operating results and

13                            cash flows from the beginning of the consolidation period to the consolidation date are also presented in the
                              consolidated income statement and the consolidated cash flow statements. The comparative amounts presented
INTERIM
 REPORT                       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 shareholders’ 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 loses 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 is 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 is lost. Other comprehensive
                              income related to equity investment in the subsidiary is transferred to gains on investment at the time the control is
                              lost. The remaining equity interest is measured subsequently according to the related requirements of “Accounting
                              Standards for Business Enterprises No. 2 – Long-term Equity Investments” or “Accounting Standards for Business
                              Enterprises No. 22 – Recognition and measurement of Financial Instruments”. For details, please see Note IV. 10

         which are readily convertible into known amounts of cash and which are subject to insignificant risk of value change.

    8.   Foreign currency operations and translation of statements denominated in foreign currency
         (1)   Foreign currency operations
               ①    Basis for translation of foreign currency transactions

                     The foreign currency transactions of the Company, when initially recognised, are translated into functional
                     currency at the prevailing spot exchange rate on the date of exchange while the Company’s foreign currency
                     exchange operations and transactions in connection with foreign currency exchange shall be translated into
                     functional currency at the exchange rate actually adopted.

               ②    Basis for translation of foreign currency monetary items and foreign currency non-monetary items

                     On the balance sheet date, foreign currency monetary items shall be translated at the spot exchange
                     rate (generally, a spot exchange rate is the middle price quoted by the People’s Bank of China on the
                     day of transaction) on the balance sheet date. All differences are included in the consolidated income
                     statement, except for: ①the differences arising from foreign currency borrowings related to the acquisition
                     or construction of fixed assets which are qualified for capitalisation; ② except for other carrying amounts of
                     the amortisation costs, the differences arising from changes of the foreign currency items available for sale.            13
                                                                                                                                               INTERIM
                     The foreign currency non-monetary items measured at historical cost shall still be measured by the functional              REPORT
                     currency translated at the spot exchange rate on the date of the transaction. Foreign currency non-monetary
                     items measured at fair value are translated at the spot exchange rate on the date of determination of the fair
                     value. The difference between the amounts of reporting currency before and after the translation will be treated
                     as changes in fair value (including changes in foreign exchange rates) and recognised in profit or loss for the
                     period or recognised as other consolidated income and included in the capital reserves.

         (2)   Basis for translation of foreign currency financial statements

               Exchange differences arising from change in exchange rate where the preparation of consolidated financial
               statements relates to overseas operation and foreign currency monetary items materially constitute net investment
               in overseas operation shall be recorded into “translation reserve” in the shareholders’ equity: disposal of overseas
               operation shall be included into profits and losses on disposal in the current period.

               The financial statements denominated in foreign currency of a foreign operation are translated to RMB in comply with
               the following requirement: assets and liabilities on the balance sheet are translated at the spot exchange rate prevailing
               at the balance sheet date; owner’s equity items except for “retained profit” are translated at the spot exchange rates
               at the dates on which such items arose; income and expenses items in the income statement are translated at the
               average spot exchange rate at the date of transaction. The retained profit brought forward are reported at the prior year’s
               closing balance; the retained profit as at the end of the year are presented after translated the profit appropriation items;
               differences between the aggregate of asset and liability items and owners’ equity items are recognised as “translation
               differences arising on the translation of financial statements denominated in foreign currencies” in other consolidated
               income, and presented separately as under owners’ equity items in the balance sheet. On disposal of foreign operations
               and loss of control, exchange differences arising from the translation of financial statements denominated in foreign
               currencies related to the disposed foreign operation which has been included in owners’ equity in the balance sheet,
               shall be transferred to profit or loss in whole or in proportionate share in the period in which the disposal took place.

               Cash flow dominated in foreign currency or from foreign subsidiaries shall be translated at the spot exchange rate when it
               incurs. Effects arising from changes of exchange rate of cash shall be presented separately in the cash flow statements.

               The opening balance and the prior period’s figures are presented according to the translated amounts of the prior period.

              9.   Financial instruments
                   (1)   Classification of financial instruments

                         Conventionally traded financial assets shall be recognised and derecognised at the trading date. 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 into financial liabilities at fair value and changes are carried through profit and loss
                         for the current period and other financial liabilities at initial recognition.

                   (2)   Basis of recognition and method of measurement of financial instrument

                         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.

                               Financial assets may be classified as financial assets held for trading if one of the following conditions is met:
                               A. the financial assets is acquired or incurred principally for the purpose of selling it in the near term; B. the
13                             financial assets is part of a portfolio of identified financial instruments that are managed together and for which
INTERIM                        there is objective evidence of a recent pattern of short-term profit-taking; or C. the financial assets is a derivative,
 REPORT                        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
                               credit losses) by taking into account all contract terms relating to the financial assets or financial liabilities
                               whilst considering various fees, transaction costs and discounts or premiums which are part of the effective
                               interest rate paid or received between the parties to the financial assets or financial liabilities contracts.

               ③   Loans and receivables

                    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, 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 amortisation 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.                       13
                                                                                                                                                        INTERIM
                    Interests received from available-for-sale financial assets held and the cash dividends declared by the                              REPORT
                    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.

                    ①     Financial liabilities measured at fair value and whose changes are carried through profit or loss for the
                           period

                           The criteria for a financial liability to be classified as held for trading and designated as at financial
                           liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are the same as those for a financial asset to be classified
                           as held for trading and designated as at financial assets at fair value through profit or loss.

                           Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss for the period are subsequently measured at fair
                           value. The gain or loss arising from changes in fair value and dividends and interest income related to
                           such financial liabilities are included into the current profit or loss.

                    ②    Other financial liabilities

                           Derivative financial liabilities which are linked to equity instruments that are not quoted in an active
                           market and the fair value of which cannot be measured reliably measured, and which shall be settled
                           by delivery of equity instruments are subsequently measured at cost. Other financial liabilities are
                           subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Gains or losses arising
                           from derecognition or amortisation is recognised in profit or loss for the current period.

                    ③    Financial Guarantee Contracts

                           Financial guarantee contracts other than those designated as financial liabilities at fair value through
                           profit or loss is initially recognised at fair value, and shall be subsequently measured at the higher of the
                           following: the amount determined in accordance with Accounting Standard for Business Enterprises
                           No. 13 “Contingencies” and the amount initially recognised less cumulative amortisation recognised in
                           accordance with the principles set out in Accounting Standard for Business Enterprises No. 14 “Revenue”.

                   (3)   Recognition and measurement of transfers of financial asset
                         Financial asset that satisfied any of the following criteria shall be derecognised: ① the contract right to recover
                         the cash flows of the financial asset has terminated; ② the financial asset, along with substantially all the risk and
                         return arising from the ownership of the financial asset, has been transferred to the transferee; and ③ the financial
                         asset has been transferred to the transferee, and the transferor has given up the control on such financial asset,
                         though it does not assign maintain substantially all the risk and return arising from the ownership of the financial
                         asset.

                         When the entity does not either assign or maintain substantially all the risk and return arising from the ownership
                         of the financial asset and does not give up the control on such financial asset, to the extent of its continuous
                         involvement in the financial asset, the entity recognises it as a related financial asset and recognises the relevant
                         liability accordingly. The extent of the continuous involvement is the extent to which the entity exposes to changes
                         in the value of such financial assets.

                         On derecognition of a financial asset, the difference between the following amounts is recognised in profit or loss
                         for the current period: the carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received and any accumulated gain
                         or loss that had been recognised directly in equity.

                         If a part of the financial assets qualifies for derecognition, the carrying amount of the financial asset is allocated
                         between the part that continues to be recognised and the part that qualifies for derecognition, based on the fair
                         values of the respective parts. The difference between the following amounts is recognised in profit or loss for the
13                       period: the sum of the consideration received and the carrying amount of the part that qualifies for derecognition
INTERIM                  and the aforementioned carrying amount.
 REPORT

                   (4)   Derecognition of financial liabilities

                         Financial liabilities are derecognised in full or in part only when the present obligation is discharged in full or in
                         part. An agreement is entered between the Group (debtor) and a creditor to replace the original financial liabilities
                         with new financial liabilities with substantially different terms, derecognise the original financial liabilities as well as
                         recognise the new financial liabilities.

                         When financial liabilities is derecognised in full or in part, the difference between the carrying amount of the
                         financial liabilities derecognised and the consideration paid (including transferred non-cash assets or new financial
                         liability) is recognised in profit or loss for the current period.

                   (5)   Method of determination of the fair value for financial assets and financial liabilities

                         The fair value refers to the amount, at which both willing parties to a fair transaction who are familiar with the
                         condition exchange their assets or clear off their debts under fair conditions. Financial instruments exist in an
                         active market. Fair value is determined based on the quoted price in such market. An active market refers to where
                         pricing is easily and regularly obtained from exchanges, brokers, industrial organisations and price fixing service
                         organisations, representing the actual price of a market transaction that takes place in a fair deal. While financial
                         instruments do not exist in an active market, the fair value is determined using valuation techniques. Valuation
                         technologies include reference to be familiar with situation and prices reached in recent market transactions
                         entered into by both willing parties, reference to present fair values of similar other financial instruments, cash flow
                         discounting method and option pricing models.

         (6)   Impairment tests and provision of financial assets (excluding amount receivables)

               In addition to financial assets at fair value through profit or loss for the current period, the Group reviews the book
               value of other financial assets at each balance sheet date and provide for impairment where there is objective
               evidence that financial assets are impaired.

               For a financial asset that is individually significant, the Group assesses the asset individually for impairment.
               For a financial asset that is not individually significant, the Group assess the asset individually for impairment or
               include the asset in a group of financial assets with similar credit risk characteristics and collectively assess them
               for impairment. If it is determined that no objective evidence of impairment exists for an individually assessed
               financial asset, whether the financial asset is individually significant or not, the financial asset is included in a
               group of financial assets with similar credit risk characteristics and collectively assessed for impairment. Financial
               assets for which an impairment loss is individually recognised are not included in the collective assessment for
               impairment.

               ①   Impairment of held-to-maturity investments and loans and receivables

                     The carrying amount of financial assets measured as costs or amortised costs are subsequently reduced
                     to the present value discounted from its projected future cash flow. The reduced amount is recognised as
                     impairment loss and recorded as profit or loss for the period. After recognition of the impairment loss from
                     financial assets, if there is objective evidence showing recovery in value of such financial assets impaired
                     and which is related to any event occurring after such recognition, the impairment loss originally recognised
                     shall be reversed to the extent that the carrying value of the financial assets upon reversal will not exceed
                                                                                                                                         13

                     the amortised cost as at the reversal date assuming there is no provision for impairment.                            REPORT

               ②   Impairment of available-for-sale financial assets

                     In the event that decline in fair value of the available-for-sale equity instrument is regarded as “severe
                     decline” or “non-temporary decline” on the basis of comprehensive related factors, it indicates that
                     there is impairment loss of the available-for-sale equity instrument. In particular, “severe decline” refers
                     to accumulative decline in fair value is more than 20%. “Non-temporary decline” refers to the fair value
                     decreased continuously for more than 12 months.

                     When the available-for-sale financial assets impair, the accumulated loss originally included in the capital
                     reserve arising from the decrease in fair value was transferred out from the capital reserve and included in
                     the profit or loss for the period. The accumulated loss that transferred out from the capital reserve is the
                     balance of the acquired initial cost of asset, after deduction of the principal recovered, amortised amounts,
                     current fair value and the impairment loss originally included in the profit or loss.

                     After recognition of the impairment loss, if there is objective evidence showing recovery in value of such
                     financial assets impaired and which is related to any event occurring after such recognition in subsequent
                     periods, the impairment loss originally recognised shall be reversed. The impairment loss reversal of the
                     available-for-sale equity instrument will be recognised as other consolidated income, and the impairment
                     loss reversal of the available-for-sale debt instrument will be included in the profit or loss for the period.

                     When an equity investment that is not quoted in an active market and the fair value of which cannot be
                     measured reliably, or the impairment loss of a derivative financial asset linked to the equity instrument that
                     shall be settled by delivery of that equity instrument, then it will not be reversed.

               show the intention or ability to make changes

              10.   Basis for recognition and measurement of bad debt provision for accounts receivables
                    The Group carries out an overall inspection on the carrying amount of accounts receivable on the balance sheet date.
                    Where there arises any of the following objective evidences indicating that accounts receivable have been impaired, an
                    impairment provision will be made: ① a serious financial difficulty occurs to the debtor; ② the debtor breaches any of
                    the contractual stipulations (such as he fails to pay or delays the payment of interests or the principal); ③ the debtor will
                    probably go bankrupt or carry out other financial reorganisations; ④ other objective evidences show that the accounts
                    receivable are impaired.

                           individually for individually significant items assesses such accounts receivable individually for impairment. If
                                                                           it is determined that no objective evidence of impairment exists

                          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.

                          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

          (1)   Determination of investment cost

                For a long-term equity investment acquired through a business combination involving enterprises under common
                control, the initial investment cost of the long-term equity investment shall be the absorbing party’s share of
                the carrying amount of the owner’s equity of the party being absorbed at the date of combination. For a long-
                term equity investment acquired through business combination not involving enterprises under common control,
                the business combination cost is the aggregate of assets paid, liabilities incurred or undertook and fair value of
                equity securities issued by the acquirer. Agent fees incurred by the acquirer for the acquisition such as audit,
                legal service, and valuation and consultation fees, and other related administration expenses are charged to
                profit or loss in the current period at the time such expenses incurred. Transaction cost incurred for issuing
                equity securities or debt securities, which are used as consideration for the combination, are included in the initial
                recognition amount of the equity securities or debt securities.

                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)   Subsequent measurement and profit or loss recognition                                                                    13

                Cost method is used to account for a long-term equity investment where the investor does not have joint control           REPORT
                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.




                                                                            SHANDONG CHENMING PAPER HOLDINGS LIMITED                       77

                         ②   Long-term equity investments accounted for using the equity method

                              Under the equity method, where the initial investment cost of a long-term equity investment exceeds
                              the investor’s interest in the fair value of the investee’s identifiable net assets at the acquisition date, no
                              adjustment shall be made to the initial investment cost. Where the initial investment cost is less than the
                              investor’s interest in the fair value of the investee’s identifiable net assets at the acquisition date, the
                              difference shall be charged to profit or loss for the current period, and the cost of the long term equity
                              investment shall be adjusted accordingly.

                              Under the equity method, investment gain or loss represents the Group’s share of the net profits or losses
                              made by the investee for the current period. The Group shall recognize its share of the investee’s net
                              profits or losses based on the fair values of the investee’s individual separately identifiable assets at the
                              time of acquisition, after making appropriate adjustments thereto in conformity with the accounting policies
                              and accounting periods of the Group. The unrealised gain or loss from internal transactions entered into
                              between the Group and its associated enterprises and joint ventures is set off according to the shareholding
                              attributable to the Group and accounted for as investment income and loss based such basis. However,
                              the unrealised gain or loss from internal transactions entered into between the Group and its investee is not
                              set up if belonging to impairment loss from assets transferred according to regulations such as “Accounting
                              Standards for Business Enterprises No. 8 “Assets impairment”. In respect of the other consolidated income
13                            of investees, the carrying amount of long-term equity investments is accordingly adjusted and recognised
                              as other consolidated income and included in the capital reserves.

 REPORT
                              The Group’s share of net losses of the investee shall be recognised to the extent that the carrying amount
                              of the long-term equity investment together with any long-term interests that in substance form part of
                              the investor’s net investment in the investee are reduced to zero. If the Group has to assume additional
                              obligations, the estimated obligation assumed shall be provided for and charged to the profit or loss as
                              investment loss for the period. Where the investee is making profits in subsequent periods, the Group shall
                              resume recognising its share of profits after setting off against the share of unrecognised losses. If there is
                              debit variation in relation to the long-term equity investments in associates and joint venture held prior to
                              first adoption of the Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises by the Group on 1 January 2007, the
                              amounts amortised over the original residual term using the straight-line method is included in the profit or
                              loss for the period.

                              increased of long-term equity investment which was compared to fair value of identifiable net assets
                              recognised which are measured based on the continuous measurement since the acquisition date (or
                              combination date) of subsidiaries attributable to the Group calculated according to the proportion of newly
                              acquired shares, the difference of which recognised as adjusted capital surplus, capital surplus insufficient
                              to set off impairment and adjusted retained earnings.

                ④   Disposal of long-term equity investments

                      In these consolidated financial statements, where the parent company disposes of a portion of the long-
                      term equity investments in a subsidiary without a change in control, the difference between disposal cost
                      and disposal of long-term equity investments relative to the net assets of the subsidiary is charged to the
                      owners’ equity. Where the parent company disposes of a portion of the long-term equity investments in a
                      subsidiary resulting in the loss of control over that subsidiary, the relevant accounting policy set out in Note
                      IV. 4. (2) “Basis for preparation of the consolidated financial statements” shall apply.

                      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.

          (3)   Recognition of having joint control or significant influence over the investee
                                                                                                                                         13
                The term “control” means that the Group has the power to decide an enterprise’s financial and operating policy,       INTERIM
                                                                                                                                          REPORT
                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.

                    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.

                    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.

 REPORT
                    (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.

          (4)   Impairment testing 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 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
                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

          (5)   Explanation on other matters

                Subsequent expenditures incurred for a fixed asset shall be included in the cost of the fixed asset, only if it is
                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.

              15.   Construction in progress
                    (1)   Types of the construction in progress

                          Construction is progress refers to expenditures incurred for outstanding construction projects such as new
                          construction, renovation and expansion of the Company’s fixed assets or technology and equipment upgrade and
                          large-scale renovation works.

                    (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 testing methods and provision for impairment methods on construction in progress

                          The Group will judge if there is any indication of impairment as at the balance sheet date in respect of construction
                          in progress. 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
                          recoverable amount of an asset is the higher of its fair value less costs of disposal and the present value of the
13                        future cash flows expected to be derived from the asset. An asset’s fair value is the price in a sale agreement in
INTERIM                   an arm’s length transaction. If there is no sale agreement but the asset is traded in an active market, fair value
 REPORT
                          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 acquisition or production of a
                          capitalisation qualifying asset shall be capitalised as part of the cost of that asset upon the following condition is
                          satisfied:

                          ①   expenditures for the asset have incurred;
                          ②    borrowing costs have incurred;
                          ③    activities relating to the acquisition or production of the asset that are necessary to prepare the asset for its
                                intended use or sale have commenced.

                          Other borrowing interest, discount or premium and foreign exchange difference shall be recognised as expense in
                          the period in which they are incurred.

    16.   Borrowing costs (Cont’d)
          (2)   Period for capitalisation of borrowing costs

                For borrowing costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying
                asset, when expenditures for the asset and borrowing costs are being incurred, 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, such borrowing costs shall be capitalised as part of the cost of that asset; and
                capitalisation shall discontinue when the qualifying asset is ready for its intended use or sale.

          (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
                                                                                                                                        13

    17.   Biological assets
          Consumable biological assets refer to biological assets held for sale or to be harvested as agricultural produce in the
          future, which include growing commercial forests. Consumable biological assets are stated at cost at initial recognition.
          The cost of self-planting, self-cultivating consumable biological assets is the necessary expenses directly attributable to
          such assets prior to canopy closure, including borrowing costs eligible for capitalisation. Subsequent expenses incurred
          after canopy closure shall be included in profit or loss for the current period.

          The cost of consumable biological assets shall, at the time of harvest or disposal, be carried forward at carrying value
          using the rotation age method.

          All the consumable biological assets of the Company are subsequently measured at fair value as they are quoted in
          an active market where the Company can obtain a quoted market price and other information of the same or similar
          consumable biological assets and thus their fair values can be reliably estimated. Changes in fair values shall be
          recognised as profit or loss in the current period.

                    (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 a finite 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 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 a finite useful life and the amortisation method
                          applied at least at each financial year-end. A change in the useful life or amortisation method used shall be
                          accounted for as a change in accounting estimate. For an intangible asset with an indefinite useful life, the Group
                          shall review the useful life of the asset in each accounting period. 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
13                        policies accordingly.

                          For intangible assets with a finite useful life, the Group will judge if there is any indication of impairment as at the
                          balance sheet date in respect of non-current non-financial assets such as fixed assets, construction in progress,
                          intangible assets with a finite useful life, investment properties measured at cost, and long-term equity investments
                          in subsidiaries, joint controlled entities and associates. 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 not in working conditions will be tested for impairment annually, regardless of whether there
                          is any indication of impairment.

                the impairment provision will be made according to the difference and recognised as an impairment loss. The

                Expenditure arising from the research phase is recognised as profit or loss in the current period.

                Expenditure arising from the development phase that satisfies the following conditions are recognised as

                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

                          the compensation amount shall, on a recoverable basis, be recognised as asset separately, and compensation
13                        amount recognised shall not be more than the carrying amount of accrued liabilities.

    22.   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 an accrual basis under the relevant contracts or agreements.

          (3)   Basis for recognition of revenue from the rendering of services

                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; ② it is probable that the
                economic benefits will flow into the enterprise; ③ the completion schedule of the transaction can be reliably
                ascertained; and ④ transaction costs incurred and to be incurred can be reliably measured.

                When the outcome of a transaction involving the rendering of services cannot be reliably estimated, it shall          13
                recognise the revenue from the rendering of services based on the cost of rendering services already incurred and     INTERIM
                                                                                                                                       REPORT
                expected to be compensated, and the cost of rendering services incurred shall be recognised as an expense for
                the current period. If the cost of rendering services is expected not to be compensated, it shall be recognised as
                an expense.

                When a contract or agreement signed by the Group includes sales of goods and rendering of services, if sales
                of goods and rendering of services can be differentiated and separately measured, they will be recognised
                respectively. If sales of goods and rendering of services cannot be differentiated or cannot be separately
                measured, they will be recognised as sales of goods in full.

          (4)   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.

                Where the outcome of a construction contracts can be reliably estimated, it shall, on the balance sheet date,
                recognise contract revenue and contacts expenses using the percentage of completion method. The completion
                schedule of a contract shall be ascertained according to the portion of accumulative actual contract costs incurred
                to the estimated total contract costs or the completed contract work to the estimated total contracts work or the
                actually measured completion schedule.

                    (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.

                          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
13                        in profit or loss for the current period; if there is no related deferred income, the repayment shall be recognised
INTERIM                   immediately in profit or loss for the current period.
 REPORT

              24.   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 recognizes 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.

    25.   Operating lease and finance 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
                as operating leases.
                                                                                                                                          13
                The Group as a lessee under a finance lease                                                                               INTERIM
                                                                                                                                           REPORT
                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.

                    (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
                          asset 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 noncurrent
                          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: (1) 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 at the date
                          on which no future sale is decided.

          The Group needs to make judgments, estimates and assumptions as to the carrying amount of statement items which

                                                                                                                                          13
                                                                                                                                          INTERIM
          and assumptions are made based on the historical experiences of the Group’s management and taking into account                  REPORT
          other relevant factors, which may affect the reported amount of revenue, expenses, assets and liabilities and disclosure
          of contingent liabilities at the balance sheet date. However, the outcome from such estimate uncertainties may cause
          critical adjustment to the carrying amount of assets or liabilities which may be affected in the future.

          The Group regularly reviews the aforesaid judgments, estimates and assumptions on the basis of continued operation. A
          revision to accounting estimates is recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if it only affects that period.
          A revision is recognised in the period of the revision and future periods if it affects both current and future periods.

          At the balance sheet date, the critical areas where Group needs to make judgments, estimates and assumptions as to
          the items amount of financial statements are set out below:

          (1)   Provision for bad debts

                The Group adopts the allowance method to account for bad debt loss under the accounting policies of accounts
                receivable. Impairment of accounts receivable is based on the recoverability of assessed accounts receivable.
                Given the management’s judgment and estimate required for impairment of accounts receivable, the difference
                between the actual outcome and original estimate will affect the carrying amount of accounts receivable and
                provision and reversal of bad debts of accounts receivable during the estimate revision period.

          (2)   Allowance for inventories

                Under the accounting policies of inventories and by measuring at the lower of cost and net realisable value, the
                Group makes allowance for inventories which have costs higher than net realisable value or become obsolete and
                slow-moving. Write-down of inventories to their net realisable values is based on the saleability of the evaluated
                inventory and their net realisable values. Given the management’s judgments and estimates required for inventory
                impairment on the basis of definite evidence, purpose of holding the inventories and other factors, the difference
                between the actual outcome and original estimate will affect the carrying amount of inventories and provision and
                reversal of bad debts of inventories allowance during the estimate revision period.

                    (3)   Subsequent measurement of biological assets

                          The Group has appointed an independent professional valuer to value the fair value of the biological assets.
                          When the valuer determines the fair value, the valuation method used by the valuer includes some assumptions.
                          Directors have judged that the valuation method reflects the prevailing market conditions.

                    (4)   Provision for impairment of non-financial non-current assets

                          At the balance sheet date, the Group makes its judgment as to whether there is any evidence indicating potential impairment
                          of non-current assets other than financial assets. Intangible assets with indefinite useful life shall be tested for impairment when
                          there is any indication of impairment in addition to the annual impairment testing. Other non-current assets other than financial
                          assets shall be tested for impairment if there is any evidence indicating that their carrying amount cannot be recovered.

                          When the carrying amount of an asset or asset groups is higher than the recoverable amount, being 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, it indicates impairment.

                          The net amount of the fair value less costs of disposal is determined by making reference to the price in a sale
                          agreement in an arm’s length transaction or the observable market price less the incremental costs directly
13                        attributable to such assets disposal.
INTERIM
 REPORT                   In projecting the present value of the future cash flows, critical judgments shall be made to the output, selling price
                          and relevant operating costs of such assets (or asset groups) and the discount rate applied in calculating the discount.
                          In estimating the recoverable amount, the Group may adopt all relevant materials including the projections as to the
                          output, selling price and relevant operating costs based on reasonable and supportive assumptions.

                          The test shall be performed at least once a year as to whether there is any impairment. This requires an estimate
                          for the present value of the future cash flows of the asset groups or sets of asset groups to which goodwill is
                          allocated. In estimating the present value of the future cash flows, the Group needs to estimate the cash flows
                          generated from the future asset groups or sets of asset groups. Meanwhile, the present value of future cash flows
                          is determined using an appropriately selected discount rate.

                    (5)   Depreciation and amortisation

                          The Group shall provide depreciation and amortisation for investment properties, fixed assets and intangible
                          assets over their useful lives and after taking into account of their residual value, using straight-line method. The
                          Group shall regularly review the useful lives to determine the amount depreciated and amortised to be accounted
                          for in each reporting period. The useful life is determined by the Group according to its previous experience on the
                          similar assets and estimated technical innovation. If there is any material change in the previously made estimate,
                          the depreciation and amortisation will be adjusted over the future period.

                    (6)   Deferred income tax assets

                          It is probable that all unused tax loss will be recognised as the deferred income tax assets to the extent there will
                          be sufficient taxable profits against which the deducible loss is available. This requires the Group’s management
                          to apply numerous judgments to estimate the time and amount generated from the future taxable profits so as to
                          determine the amount of deferred income tax assets with reference to the tax planning strategy.

                    (7)   Income tax

                          There are some uncertainties in tax treatment and calculation for some transactions of the Group during its
                          ordinary course of business. The approval from the tax authority is required for pre-tax expending of some items.
                          Any difference between the final recognition outcome of such tax matters and the initially estimated amount will
                          exert an effect on the current income tax and deferred income tax during their final recognition period.

         √    Applicable   □ Not applicable
         (1)     During the year (period), three more companies were consolidated as compared to the prior year due to the
                 reasons as follows:

                 During the reporting period, the Company established three companies through investments, namely Chenming
                 GmbH, Zhanjiang Meilun Paper Pulp Co., Ltd. and Zhanjiang Chenming New-style Wall Materials Co., Ltd.,
                 respectively;

                 In order to push forward with the Company’s sales of paper products, further expand the Company’s products’
                 share in the European market, and establish a broader and more comprehensive marketing network, the Company
                 decided to set up a sales company in Germany. On 7 January 2013, the Company obtained “Overseas Investment
                 certificate” approved by the Ministry of Commerce, which ratified our establishment of Chenming GmbH with its
                 registered capital of EUR25,000. The Company may make more investments timely based on the operations of
                 the new company. It was included in the scope of consolidation since March 2013.

                 In order to make full use of ancillary facilities of public works, realise diversification of the product mix of the
                 Company, and further lower the costs and increase the Company’s capability to resist risks, the fifth extraordinary
                 meeting of the six session of the Board of Directors approved “Resolution in relation to establishment of Zhanjiang
                 Meilun Paper Pulp Co., Ltd.”, with its registered capital amounting to RMB100.00 million and the company was
                 included in the scope of consolidation since January 2013.
                                                                                                                                        13
                 In order to strengthen comprehensive utilisation of resources and actively respond to national policy for resource     INTERIM
                 utilisation, we decided to, based on local needs, set up Zhanjiang Chenming New-style Wall Materials Co., Ltd.,         REPORT

                 capital amounting to RMB10.00 million. The company was included in the scope of consolidation since March
                 2013.

                 Co., Ltd. and Shanghai Runchen Equity Investment Fund Co., Ltd. due to disposal of equity interest during
                 the period. Therefore, the above three companies ceased to be included in the scope of consolidation. The
                 registration of Wuhan Xingzhilian Paper Company Limited and Jilin Chenming Waste Collection Co., Ltd. was
                 cancelled according to actual needs of operations during the period. Therefore, the above two companies ceased
                 to be included in the scope of consolidation.

                 On 26 April 2013, the seventeenth meeting of the six session of the Board of Directors of the Company passed
                 “Resolution in relation to disposal of equity interests in Shanghai Runchen. On the same day, the Company entered

                 Co., Ltd and Yanbian State-owned Assets Management Co., Ltd. to transfer its 49% and 51% equity interest in
                 Yanbian Chenming Paper Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as Yanbian Chenming), respectively, at a consideration
                 of RMB54.00 million and RMB56.00 million. The Company lost its control over Yanbian Chenming and Yanbian
                 Chenming ceased to be included in the scope of consolidation effective from 15 May 2013.

                 On 31 January 2013, Wuhan Chenming Hanyang Paper Holdings Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of the Company, entered
                 into an equity transfer agreement with Hubei Zhongjian Haohua Environment Protection Co., Ltd. to transfer its
                 51% equity interest in Wuhan Chenjian New-style Wall Materials Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as Chenjian

          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.                                                                                                          13

          The goodwill of the Company arose from the business combination not under common control during the prior years.            REPORT


          On the balance sheet date, management of the Company assesses the recoverable amount of cash-generating
          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% (2012: 5%) expected by
          the market, and time value of currency was estimated using the discount rate of 8.32% (2012: 8.32%). Management of
          the Company expects no provision for impairment loss is necessary to be made for goodwill during the reporting period.
