                                                III Business Overview

I. Principal operations of the Company during the Reporting Period

Whether the Company needs to comply with the disclosure requirements of specific industries
No
(I) Principal operations of the Company during the reporting Period
     The Company is a large conglomerate principally engaged in pulp production, paper making, finance and fibre while also developing
forestry, mining and logistics. The Company is the only listed company with A shares, B shares, H shares and preference shares in issue in
the PRC, the first industrial and financing company in the industry having a finance company and a financial leasing company and among the
top 100 listed companies of the PRC, having maintained a leading position among its industry peers for over 20 consecutive years in terms of
its main indicators of corporate economic efficiency. The machine-made paper business is the principal business of the Company while the
machine-made paper business and financial leasing business are the main sources of revenue and profit of the Company. During the reporting
period, there was no significant change in the principal operations of the Company.
     The Company is a leading player in the paper making industry in China. Since its establishment, the Company has abided by the
corporate mission of “revitalizing the national paper-making industry” and the corporate vision of building "a RMB100 billion company
with a history of 100 years". Deepening in its principal business of paper making, the Company has established production bases in
Shandong, Guangdong, Hubei, Jiangxi and Jilin with annual pulp and paper production capacity of over 10 million tonnes. It has the largest
integrated forestry, pulp and paper project with the most advanced technology in the world and dozens of pulp and paper production lines of
international advanced standards. The product mix of the Company has gradually diversified into eight major product series which focus on
high and middle end products, including high-end offset paper, coated paper, white paper board, light weight coated paper, household paper,
electrostatic copy paper, thermal paper and glassine paper, with each major product ranking among the best in terms of market share. The
Company has the most diversified and complete set of product offering among the paper-making companies of the PRC, with considerable
market competitiveness, bargaining power and risk resistance capacity.
     The Company has scientific research institutions including the national enterprise technology centre, the postdoctoral working station as
well as state certified CNAS pulp and paper testing centre and has obtained over 150 national patents including 12 patents for invention, with
7 products selected as national new products and 35 products filling the gap in China. The Company has obtained 21 Science and
Technology Progress Awards above the provincial level and undertaken five national science and technology projects and 26 provincial
technological innovation projects. The Company has obtained the ISO9001 quality certification, ISO14001 environmental protection
certification and FSC-COC certification, leading among its industry peers.
     Relying on strong capital strength of the Company and leveraging its excellent business project design ability, strong ability in credit
integration and outstanding risk control capability while giving full play to the advantages of internationalisation and market-oriented
operations, Chenming Leasing has been seeking the organic combination between industrial capital and financial capital and, on the basis of
serving the upper- and lower-stream of the paper making industry, actively provides financing and value-added service solutions to large
state-owned enterprises, listed companies, government financing platforms, quality private enterprises, new and high-tech enterprises,
schools and hospitals, thus greatly promoting the healthy and rapid development of the real economy.
(II) General information of the industries where the Company operated in during the reporting period
     The paper making industry is an important basic raw materials industry which is closely related to the national economy and social
development. In recent years, the supply and demand of the paper making industry grew at a steady pace, creating a relatively stable
production and marketing environment. According to the 2017 Annual Report of the Paper Making Industry of China (《中國造紙業2017年
年度報告》), in 2017, there were approximately 2,800 companies engaged in the production and paper and paper board in the PRC, with a
nationwide paper and paper board production volume of 111,300,000 tonnes, representing a year-on-year increase of 2.53%; and a
consumption volume of 108,970,000 tonnes, representing a year-on-year increase of 4.59%.
     Since the implementation of the “Thirteenth Five Year Plan”, the paper making industry has been subject to stricter environmental
requirements with elevated government focus on “clear water and green hills”. The successive implementation of environmental
protection inspections, licensing system for pollutant discharge and others reflected that more stringent environmental protection measures
will become a prolonged trend in the industry. Certain provinces and cities promulgated, among others, air pollution prevention programs
and major pollutant emission reduction programs, signalling enhanced supervision of local governments over the pollution discharge of
paper making companies. Driven by the supply-side reform and under the overlapping effect of stricter environment protection policies,
more severe limit on import quota of waste paper and closer inspection, cost pressure will force certain small and medium-sized enterprises
to exit the market, thereby further increasing the industry concentration ratio. On the other hand, leading enterprises, with obvious cost
advantages and high cost transferability, will enjoy further increase in profitability and gradual growth in market share. In particular, the
large leading enterprises having comprehensive environmental facilities with significant economies of scale will become the actual
beneficiaries under these environmental protection policies.
     Since initiating the forestry, pulp and paper integration strategic layout since 2001, the Company has enjoyed relatively high wood pulp
self-sufficiency rate in the domestic paper making industry. On one hand, self-produced pulp enjoys significant cost advantage over
purchased wood pulp, which enables the gross profit of the Company’s paper products to consistently rank among the top of the industry;
on the other hand, the price of wood chips, the raw material for pulp making, is relatively stable, therefore, the procurement advantage of
bulk supplies and the application of ancillary logistics services have significantly reduced the logistics and transportation costs of raw
material and finished products, considerably increasing the Company’s cost advantage and quality stability.

century, it has developed into a large conglomerate principally engaged in paper making, finance, pulp and fibre and mining
businesses while also involved in forestry, logistics, construction materials, and others. It is also the only listed company with A
shares, B shares and H shares and preference shares in issue in China and the first company in the paper making industry having a
finance company and a financial leasing company integrated with its industrial activities in China. Compared with other enterprises
in the industry, the Company has the following advantages:
1. Scale advantages
After years of development, the Company, being a leading player in the paper making industry in China, has achieved annual pulp
and paper production capacity of over 10 million tonnes and is capable to compete with international paper making enterprises in
scale. The large-scale centralised production and operation model has provided the Company with obvious economic benefits. The
Company also has strong market influence over raw material procurement, product pricing and industry policymaking.
2. Product advantages
While the production scale of the Company is expanding rapidly, its product mix also continues to optimise. In recent years, the
Company has built production lines for cultural paper such as high-end coated paper, high-end food packaging paper and high-end
white paper board. The product mix of the Company has gradually diversified into eight major product series which focus on high
and middle end products, including high-end offset paper, coated paper, white paper board, light weight coated paper, household
paper, electrostatic copy paper, thermal paper and glassine paper. Thus, the Company has become the enterprise that offers the widest
product range in China’s paper making industry. Diversification and gentrification of the product mix has not only greatly enhanced
the Company’s ability to withstand market risks, but also enabled the Company to maintain a relatively high profitability.
3. Advantages in technical equipment
Currently, the Company has the largest integrated forestry, pulp and paper project with the most advanced technology in the world
and dozens of pulp and paper production lines of international advanced standards. The Company’s overall technical equipment has
reached the advanced international level. The major production equipment has been imported from internationally renowned

and was awarded honours including “China Patent Shandong Star Enterprise”, becoming the “green engine” of the transformation
and upgrading in the paper making industry and leading the direction of the latest and most advanced technology in the paper making
industry in China.
5. Funding advantages
The paper making industry is a capital-intensive industry, and funding is one of the most important factors in the development of the
industry. The Company has high profitability and credit status, and has maintained long-term stable cooperative relations with its
bankers, which provide the Company with an unobstructed indirect financing capacity. Since its listing, the Company has maintained
good operating results and a sound corporate governance structure. It has conducted several financing activities in domestic and
foreign capital markets. As the funds obtained have been applied effectively with good market image, the Company has stronger
abilities in direct financing in the capital market.
6. Team advantages
The key management members and the core personnel of the Company remain stable. In the process of innovation and development
of the Company, an internal corporate culture developed by the stable core staff team favourable to the growth of the Company
consolidates the management experience specific to the industry, thus resulting in a team advantage blended with management and
culture. Meanwhile, the Company has attracted experienced professionals with financial, legal and financial management
backgrounds through its advanced management philosophy and ample room for development. The high quality and professional team
secures the sustainable development of the Company with a solid supply of talents.
7. Advantages in environmental governance capacity
In recent years, the Company and its subsidiaries have constructed the pollution treatment facilities including the alkali recovery
system, middle water treatment system, reclaimed water recovery system and black liquor comprehensive utilisation system. Relying
on scientific and technological progress and innovation, the Company comprehensively promoted clean production and resource
recycling. At the same time, the tightening of national environmental protection policies and supply-side structural reforms, as well
as new and old kinetic energy conversion and upgrading policies will clear the obstacles for the development of the paper making
industry while the replenishment and replacement of advanced production capacity will bring new blood and momentum into the
paper making industry, favouring industry concentration to establish a sound industry cycle.

X. Risk exposures of the Company and the measures to be taken

       1. Risk on paper making industry
       Policy risk
       The paper making industry is a basic raw materials industry and its growth has been faster than the average growth of the
national economy in recent years. However, the paper making industry’s profitability is closely correlated to the economic cycle, and
the industry is therefore a cyclical industry fluctuating with the national macroeconomic performance, which will further affect the
profitability of the Company.
       Hence, following the principles of scientific development and quality and efficiency enhancement, the Company will
comprehensively improve its industrial structure and regional layout through the integration between its production and manufacture
segment and financial services segment, and incorporation of smart technology into its industrial activities. The Company will
emphasise on the development of leading businesses including paper making, finance and forestry so as to construct an efficient
industrial system with synergies.
       Market fluctuation risk
       With the rapid growth of the national economy, economic globalisation and China’s accession to the WTO, China’s paper



                                                                                                                                    19

making industry has been facing increasingly fierce competition. Leveraging the strength and capital accumulated over the years,
domestic enterprises have further expanded their sizes and improved their technological levels and product quality. Well-known
paper making enterprises overseas have also directly set up production bases in China through sole proprietorship or joint ventures so
as to participate in the domestic market competition by virtue of their advantages in size and technology. Besides, tariff reduction on
China after accession to the WTO has also further intensified the impact on the international market.
     Hence, the Company will strive to enhance the quality of paper products and achieve the target of establishing a layout for
high-end paper industry so as to increase the proportion of high-end paper. In recent years, the Company has been expanding its
business size and optimising its product mix and has set up a few production lines for high-end paper. A diversified and high-end
product mix enables the Company to spread market risk and strengthen the resistance towards market volatility. Besides, as high-end
products have better profit margins, the Company can increase the proportion of high-end products through consistent improvement
in product mix, thereby enhancing its profitability and comprehensive competitiveness.
     Risk of overcapacity and slowdown in demand
     Overcapacity is a prominent problem in the paper making and paper product industry in China such that there has been fierce
competition among enterprises. Since 2013, affected by slowdown in the macroeconomic growth, the demand in paper making
industry has been weak. At the same time, as China has encouraged energy conservation and emission reduction, the backward
production capacity will be phased out, and the new projects will significantly realise economies of scale. By virtue of the economies
of scale in the paper making industry, the production capacity of individual paper making projects under construction and planning
for construction in China is large, which affects the demand and supply relationship in the whole paper making industry.
     Hence, the Company will upgrade its equipment and its technological level, expand its product mix, improve its product quality
and focus on the research and development of high-end products so as to improve its competitiveness.
     Risk of price fluctuation of raw materials
     The major raw materials used by the Company are wood pulp and waste paper. The market prices of wood pulp and waste paper
fluctuate significantly. The market price fluctuation of raw material has significantly affected the production costs of the Company.
In addition to intensified market competition resulting from surging capacity in the industry in recent years, the increases in prices of
a number of paper products were not in line with the increases in prices of raw materials. The market price fluctuation of raw
materials will have an impact on the performance of the Company.
     Hence, the Company will remain steadfast in the “forestry-pulp-paper integration” development path and focus on the
construction of the Zhanjiang Chenming pulp project, the Huanggang Chenming pulp project and the Shouguang chemical pulp
project, thereby eliminating the limitations of upstream resources on the Company’s development and enhancing the Company’s
sustainable development.
     Risk of change in environmental protection policies
     China has been raising the standards for environmental protection in recent years. The new Environmental Protection Law took
effect on 1 January 2015. More stringent environmental protection policies have been implemented in the paper making industry. A
multi-pronged approach has been adopted to promote industrial restructuring, and the paper making industry has entered into an
important transitional period of development. A higher emission standard is bound to increase the Company’s environmental
protection costs and a high entry standard may result in the slowdown of scale expansion.
     The Company always strives to achieve harmonious development with energy conservation and emission reduction. The
Company will endeavour to develop the recycling economy through waste exchange and recycling and strive to maximise its
resource utilisation. Meanwhile, the Company will make greater efforts to construct environment friendly projects and strive to
achieve its waste emission target.
     2. Risk on financial leasing business
     Policy risk
     Recently, the financial leasing business is regulated by the commerce departments at different levels instead of being directly
regulated by the People‘s Bank of China or China Banking Regulatory Commission. The financial leasing industry in China is still at



                                                                                                                                      20
                                                                Shandong Chenming Paper Holdings Limited 2018 Interim Report


the exploration stage with incomplete laws and regulations. If there is any material adjustment or change in national or local policies
for the financial leasing industry, the Company’s financial leasing business may be adversely affected, in turn harming the
Company’s profitability.
     In September 2015, the General Office of the State Council promulgated the Guiding Opinions on Accelerating the Development
of Financial Leasing Industry, which formulated comprehensive systematic planning on accelerating the development of the financial
leasing industry. The financial leasing industry embraced a rare opportunity for leap-forward development. In February 2016, the
General Office of People’s Government of Shandong Province promulgated the Opinions of the General Office of People’s
Government of Shandong Province on Accelerating the Development of Financial Leasing Industry by Implementing Document Guo
Ban Fa [2015] No. 68, formulating specific measures to refine policy measures and ensure the measures being carries out properly,
which provided actual policy support for the development of the financial leasing industry in Shandong Province.
     Liquidity risk
     In a market economy, the macroeconomic operation tends to be in cycles and the Company is inevitably affected by those
cycles. At the same time, there is fierce competition in the financial industry and the interest margin is a main source of income for
the financial leasing business. The market interest rate is affected by the benchmark interest rate of the People’s Bank of China, the
macroeconomic environment, market demand and supply and other factors, bringing uncertainties to the fluctuation of the market
interest rate, which in turn causes uncertainties in revenue from the financial leasing business.
     Hence, following the principles of scientific development and quality and efficiency enhancement, the Company will
comprehensively improve its industrial structure and regional layout through the integration between its production and manufacture
segment and financial services segment, and incorporation of smart technology into its industrial activities. The Company will
emphasise on the development of leading businesses including paper making, finance and forestry so as to construct an efficient
industrial system with synergies.
     Credit risk
     The Company may suffer from loss if the lessees of its financial leasing business cannot make full rental payment on time due to
any reason and there are abuses on equipment or any other short-term behaviour. Although the risk of such rental being
unrecoverable is minimal, the Company will also make bad debt provision as required under its accounting policy. If such amounts
cannot be recovered on time, the Company may be exposed to risk of bad debts.
     The stringent risk management measures of Chenming Leasing provide comprehensive risk prevention and management for the
Company’s projects. Besides, the Company usually cooperates with state-owned enterprises and local governments, so it has strong
risk resistance and low risk of default. Chenming Leasing will strengthen risk management so as to enhance risk resistance and
maintain high quality services.
     Operation risk
     Recently, there is still a gap between the practitioners working in the financial leasing industry and those working in traditional
financial institutions such as banks in terms of their expertise and experience in financial profession in China. There is also a large
gap in terms of investment in infrastructure. If internal control procedures are not implemented properly and involve operation risk as
a result of operation errors, violations or non-standard execution, the Company may suffer from loss.
     Learning from the risk management experience of outstanding financial leasing companies at home and abroad, the leasing
company has formulated and optimised the internal management system of the leasing business and established an effective system
for risk assessment, risk control and risk tracking. The Company has also exercised proper control on business risk by regulating the
key business procedures including quotation, guarantee review, contract signing, leased assets management and archives
management.

When the issue was identified, Jiangxi Chenming replaced the automatic valve immediately, inspected the equipment and facilities
more frequently and enhanced the regular maintenance and repair of the key equipment. The blowdown pipes were repaired to ensure
the alkaline cleaning water in the alkaline cleaning tanks still had access to the wastewater treatment system for effective treatment
through the pipes when the automatic valve did not function. The wastewater was treated and discharged up to standard through the
central wastewater outfall in the plant area. The wastewater outfall was monitor online in real time throughout 24 hours to completely
remove the problem of leakage possibly caused by the alkaline cleaning system. The rectification was completed on 12 June.

Construction and operation of facilities for pollution prevention and control
(1) The Company and its subsidiaries strictly comply with laws, regulations and relevant rules regarding environmental protection of
the central and local government. The construction of projects strictly adheres to the “three simultaneities” on environmental
protection. In order to ensure pollutants are discharged strictly in accordance with the requirements under laws and regulations and
disposed properly, production and operation strictly comply with the national Law on the Prevention and Control of Environmental
Pollution, Law on the Prevention and Control of Water Pollution, Law on the Prevention and Control of Air Pollution, Action Plan
for Prevention and Control of Water Pollution and Law on the Prevention and Control of Environmental Pollution by Solid Waste
and other laws.
(2) Both the Company and its subsidiaries are equipped with comprehensive environmental protection treatment facilities. The
pre-treatment-aerobic-anaerobic-in-depth treatment technology is the major technology for water treatment, which can achieve
standardised discharge of waste water. Moreover, subsidiaries are equipped with recycling system for process effluent, and reuse
treated waste water to the greatest extent in order to minimise pollution. The Company has constructed a total of 8 water treatment
plants, with daily treatment capacity of 350,000 m3. A total of ten online water monitoring facilities were installed in subsidiaries,
which are all operated by entrusted enterprises qualified for running such facilities. In addition, governmental authority will regularly
visit the Company to conduct comparison of online monitoring data every quarter. All data meets the standards.
(3) Each subsidiary’s organized emission outlets are equipped with an online monitoring system for real-time monitoring. All
subsidiaries have their own power plants. Each self-owned plant has its own environmental protection facilities for de-dusting,
desulphurisation and denitrification. Denitrification is conducted through SNCR, while desulphurisation is primarily conducted
through gypsum desulphurisation (ammonia desulphurisation is adopted in the self-owned plant of Jiangxi Chenming). Substantially
all of the emissions indicators are below 50% of the execution standards. Other supporting facilities such as alkali recovery boilers
and lime kilns are also in compliance with the emission standards.
Environmental impact assessment of construction projects and other environmental protection administrative licensing
The Company has strictly complied with the environmental laws and regulations all along to carry out environmental impact
assessment of construction projects. The construction projects are all subject to environmental impact assessment. During the
construction process, a reasonable environmental protection project construction plan is formulated and strictly implemented. The
environmental protection facilities and the main project are designed, constructed and put into operation at the same time. At present,
all construction projects put into production have obtained environmental impact assessment approvals and acceptance approvals.
In June 2017, the Company and its subsidiaries completed the formalities for new discharge permits in accordance with the Measures
for the Administration of Pollutant Discharge Permits of the Ministry of Environmental Protection, and the discharge permits of the
new projects were renewed according to the environmental protection requirements in a timely manner.

                                                                 Shandong Chenming Paper Holdings Limited 2018 Interim Report

5. Accounting treatment of business combinations under common control and not under common control

     Business combinations refer to the transactions or events in which two or more separate enterprises merged as a single reporting
entity. Business combinations are divided into business combinations under common control and not under common control.
     (1) Business combinations 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 the
absorbing party effectively obtains control of the party being absorbed.
     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 combination. For a business
combination not involving enterprises under common control, the party that, on the 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. Transaction cost attributable to
equity or debt securities issued by the acquirer as consideration is included in the initial costs. Contingent consideration involved is
charged to the combination cost at its fair value on the acquisition date, in the event that adjustment on the contingent consideration
is required as a result of new or additional evidence in relation to circumstances existed on the acquisition date emerges within 12
months from the acquisition date, the combination goodwill shall also be adjusted. The combination cost incurred by the acquirer and
the identifiable net assets acquired from the combination are measured at their fair values on the acquisition date. 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

                                                                                                                                        64
                                                                   Shandong Chenming Paper Holdings Limited 2018 Interim Report


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.
      In relation to the deductible temporary difference acquired from the acquiree, which was not recognised as deferred tax assets
due to non-fulfilment of the recognition criteria at the date of the acquisition, if new or further information that is obtained within 12
months after the acquisition date indicates that related conditions at the acquisition date already existed, and that the implementation
of the economic benefits brought by the deductible temporary difference of the acquiree can be expected, the relevant deferred tax
assets shall be recognised and goodwill shall be deducted. When the amount of goodwill is less than the deferred tax assets that shall
be recognised, the difference shall be recognised in the profit or loss of the period. Except for the above circumstances, deferred tax
assets in relation to business combination are recognised in the profit or loss of the period.
      For combination of business not under common control achieved by several transactions, these several transactions will be
judged whether they belong to “transactions in a basket” in accordance with the judgement standards on “transactions in a basket” as
set out in the Notice of the Ministry of Finance on Issuing Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises Interpretation No. 5 (Cai
Kuai [2012] No. 19) and Rule of 51 to “Accounting Standard for Business Enterprises No. 33 – Consolidated Financial
Statements”(see Note V. 5 (2)). If they belong to “transactions in a basket”, they are accounted for with reference to the descriptions
as set out in the previous paragraphs of this section and Note V. 14 “Long-term equity investments”, and if they do not belong to
“transactions in a basket”, they are accounted for in separate financial statements and consolidated financial reports:
      In separate financial statements, the initial equity investment cost is the aggregate of the carrying amount of the equity
investment in the acquiree held prior to the acquisition date and the investment cost newly added as at the acquisition date. In respect
of any other comprehensive income attributable to the equity interest in the acquiree prior to the acquisition date, other
comprehensive income is accounted for on the same accounting treatment as direct disposal of relevant asset or liability by the
acquiree at the time of disposal (i.e. to be transferred to investment income for the period, except for the changes arising from
re-measuring net assets or net liabilities of defined benefit plan using the equity method attributable to the acquiree).
      In consolidated financial statements, the equity interest in the acquiree held prior to the acquisition date is remeasured at fair
value as at the acquisition date, and the difference between the fair value and the carrying amount is recognised as investment income
for the current period. In respect of any other comprehensive income attributable to the equity interest in the acquiree held prior to
the acquisition date, other comprehensive income is accounted for on the same accounting treatment as direct disposal of relevant
asset or liability by the acquiree (i.e. to be transferred to investment income at the acquisition date, except for the changes arising
from re-measuring net assets or net liabilities of defined benefit plan using the equity method attributable to the acquiree) is
transferred to investment income in the period of the acquisition date.


6. Preparation of consolidated financial statements

      (1) Basis for 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”
refers to the fact that the Company has power over the investee and is entitled to variable returns from its involvement with the
investee and the ability to use its power over the investee to affect the amount of those returns. The scope of consolidation includes
the Company and all of its subsidiaries. A subsidiary is an entity controlled by the Company.
      The Company will conduct reassessment in the event there are changes in actual condition and situation causing changes in
relevant elements involved in the definition of control above.
      (2) Basis for preparation of the consolidated financial statements
      Subsidiaries are consolidated from the date on which the Company 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
combinations under common control, the operating results and 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 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 at the
acquisition date.
      All intra-company 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 of the subsidiaries that are not attributable to the
Company are presented under shareholders’ equity and net profit in the consolidated financial statements as minority interests and net
profit of minority interest respectively. The portion of net profit or loss of subsidiaries for the period attributable to minority interest
is presented in the consolidated income statement under the “profit or loss of minority interest”. When the amount of loss attributable
to the minority shareholders of a subsidiary exceeds the minority shareholders’ portion of the opening balance of owners’ equity of
the subsidiary, the excess amount shall be allocated against minority interest.
      For the loss of control over a subsidiary due to disposal of a portion of the equity investment or other reasons, the remaining
equity is measured at fair value on the date when the control is lost. The difference arising from the sum of consideration received for

                                                                                                                                            65
                                                                Shandong Chenming Paper Holdings Limited 2018 Interim Report


disposal of equity interest and the fair value of remaining equity interest over the share of net assets of the former subsidiary
calculated continuously since the purchase date based on the shareholding percentage before disposal are recognised as investment
income in the period when the control is lost. Other comprehensive income related to equity investment in the subsidiary is
accounted for on the same accounting treatment as direct disposal of relevant asset or liability by the acquiree at the time when the
control is lost (i.e. to be transferred to investment income, except for the changes arising from re-measuring net assets or net
liabilities of defined benefit plan of the subsidiary using the equity method). The remaining equity interests are measured
subsequently according to “Accounting Standard for Business Enterprises No. 2 – Long-term Equity Investments” or “Accounting
Standard for Business Enterprises No. 22 – Recognition and Measurement of Financial Instruments”. See Note V. 14 “Long-term
equity investments” or Note V. 10 “Financial instruments” for details.
      When the Company disposes of equity investment in a subsidiary by a stage-up approach with several transactions until the
control over the subsidiary is lost, it shall determine whether these several transactions related to the disposal of equity investment in
a subsidiary until the control over the subsidiary is lost belong to “transactions in a basket”. Usually, these several transactions
related to the disposal of equity investment in a subsidiary are accounted for as transactions in a basket when the terms, conditions
and economic impacts of these several transactions meet the following one or more conditions: ① these transactions are entered
into at the same time or after considering their impacts on each other; ② these transactions as a whole can reach complete business
results; ③ the occurrence of a transaction depends on at least the occurrence of another transaction; ④ an individual transaction is
not deemed as economic, but is deemed as economic when considered with other transactions. If they are not transactions in a basket,
each of which are accounted for in accordance with applicable rules in “partial disposal of long-term equity investment of a
subsidiary without losing control over a subsidiary” (see Note V. 14 (2) ④) separately, and “the control over a subsidiary is lost due
to partial disposal of equity investment or other reasons” (see the preceding paragraph). When several transactions related to the
disposal of equity investment in a subsidiary until the control over the subsidiary is lost belong to transactions in a basket, each of
which is accounted for as disposal of a subsidiary with a transaction until the control over a subsidiary is lost; however, the different
between the amount of disposal prior to the loss of control and the net assets of a subsidiary attributable to the disposal investment
shall be recognised as other comprehensive income in consolidated financial statements and transferred to profit or loss at the time
when the control is lost.

7. Classification of joint arrangements and accounting treatment for joint ventures

     A joint arrangement refers to an arrangement of two or more parties have joint control. In accordance with the Company’s rights
and obligations under a joint arrangement, the Company classifies joint arrangements into: joint ventures and joint operations. Joint
operations refer to a joint arrangement during which the Company is entitled to relevant assets and obligations of this arrangement.
Joint ventures refer to a joint arrangement during which the Company only is entitled to net assets of this arrangement.
     The Company treats investments in joint ventures by using the equity method of accounting in accordance with accounting
policies as set out in Note V. 14 (2) ②“long-term equity investments by using equity method of accounting”.
     The Company shall, as a joint venture, recognise the assets held and obligations assumed solely by the Company, and recognise
assets held and obligations assumed jointly by the Company in appropriation to the share of the Company; recognise revenue from
disposal of the share of joint operations of the Company; recognise fees solely occurred by Company and recognise fees from joint
operations in appropriation to the share of the Company.
     When the Company, as a joint venture, invests or sells assets (the assets does not constitute a business, the same below) to or
purchase assets from joint operations, the Company shall only recognise the part of profit or lost from this transaction attributable to
other parties of joint operations before these assets are sold to the third party. If the occurrence of these assets meet the impairment
loss of asset as set out in “Accounting Standard for Business Enterprises No. 8 – Asset Impairment”, the Company shall recognise
the full amount of this loss in relation to the Company invests in or sells assets to joint operations; the Company recognise the loss
according to the Company’s share of commitment in relation to the Company purchase assets from joint operations.

8. Standards for recognising cash and cash equivalents

     Cash and cash equivalents of the Company include cash on hand, deposits readily available for payment purpose and short-term
(normally fall due within three months from the date of acquisition) and highly liquid investments held the Company which are
readily convertible into known amount of cash and which are subject to insignificant risk of value change.

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

     (1) Basis for translation of foreign currency transactions
     The foreign currency transactions of the Company, when initially recognised, are translated into the functional currency at the
prevailing spot exchange rate on the date of exchange, i.e. the middle price of RMB exchange rate published by the People’s Bank of
China on that date in general and the same hereinafter, while the foreign currency exchange operations and transactions in connection
with foreign currency exchange shall be translated into the 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 on the balance sheet
date. All differences are included in the profit or loss in the period, except for: ① the differences arising from foreign currency
borrowings related to the acquisition or construction of fixed assets that are qualified for capitalisation will be accounted for
according to the principle of capitalisation; and ② exchange difference arising from change in balance of carrying amount other

                                                                                                                                       66
                                                                 Shandong Chenming Paper Holdings Limited 2018 Interim Report


than amortised cost of available for sale foreign monetary items will be included in other comprehensive income.
     Exchange differences arising from change in exchange rate where the preparation of consolidated financial statements relates to
foreign operations and foreign currency monetary items materially constitute net investment in foreign operations shall be recorded
into “other comprehensive income”; disposal of foreign operations shall be included into profits and losses on disposal in the current
period.
     The foreign currency non-monetary items measured at historical cost shall still be measured by the functional currency
translated at the spot exchange rate on the date of the transaction. Foreign currency non-monetary items measured at fair value are
translated at the spot exchange rate on the date of determination of the fair value. The difference between the amounts of the
functional currency before and after the translation will be 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 comprehensive income.
     (3) 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
foreign operations and foreign currency monetary items materially constitute net investment in foreign operations shall be recorded
into “other comprehensive income” under “translation reserve”; disposal of foreign operations 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 compliance with the
following requirements: 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 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 comprehensive income. 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 operations 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 year’s figures are presented according to the translated amounts of the prior year.
     On disposal of the entire owners’ equity in a foreign operation of the Company, or upon a loss of control over a foreign
operation due to disposal of certain equity investment or other reasons, the Company transfers the exchange differences arising on
translation of financial statements of this foreign operation attributable to owners’ equity of parent company presented under owners’
equity in the balance sheet, to profit or loss in the period in which the disposal took place.
     In case of partial disposal of equity investment or other reason that result in reduction in shareholding in a foreign operation
without losing control over it, the proportionate share of exchange differences arising from the translation of financial statements will
be attributable to minority interests and will not recognised in profit or loss. For partial disposals of equity interests in foreign
operations which are associates or joint ventures, the proportionate share of the exchange differences arising from the translation of
financial statements of foreign operations is reclassified to profit or loss.

10. Financial instruments

     Financial asset or financial liability will be recognised when the Company became one of the parties under a financial
instrument contract. Financial assets and financial liabilities are initially recognised at fair value, except for equity instruments that
are not quoted in an active market, the fair value of which cannot be reliably measured and over relevant investees of which the
Company does not have control, joint control or significant influence, and debt financing instruments subsequently measured at
amortised cost using the effective interest method. For financial assets and 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 assets and financial liabilities classified as other categories, relevant transaction costs are included in the amount initially
recognised.
     (1) Determination of fair values for financial assets and financial liabilities
     The fair value refers to the price that will be received when selling an asset or the price to be paid to transfer a liability in an
orderly transaction between market participants on the date of measurement. 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.
     (2) Classification, recognition and measurement of financial assets
     Conventionally traded financial assets shall be recognised and derecognised at the trading date. Financial assets shall be
classified into loans and accounts receivable, available-for-sale financial assets and others for initial recognition.
     ① 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 and other receivables are classified as
loans and receivables by the Company.
     Loans and receivables are measured subsequently at the amortised cost by using the effective interest rate method. Gains or

                                                                                                                                        67
                                                                 Shandong Chenming Paper Holdings Limited 2018 Interim Report


losses incurred at the time of derecognition, impairment or amortisation are charged to profit or loss in the current period.
      ② Available-for-sale financial assets
      Available-for-sale financial assets represent equity instruments over relevant investees of which the Company does not have
control, joint control or significant influence.
      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, 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. However, for
equity investment of which the Company does not have control, joint control or significant influence, not quoted in an active market
and the fair value of which cannot be measured reliably, their fair values are subsequently measured at cost.
      Interests received from available-for-sale financial assets held and the cash dividends declared by the investee are recognised as
investment income.
      (3) Impairment of financial assets
      The Company reviews the carrying amount of financial assets on each balance sheet date and provides for impairment where
there is objective evidence that financial assets are impaired.
      For a financial asset that is individually significant, the Company assesses the asset individually for impairment. For a financial
asset that is not individually significant, the Company 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 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 amount of the financial assets upon reversal will not exceed the amortised
cost as at the reversal date assuming there is no provision for impairment.
      ② Impairment of available-for-sale financial assets
      In the event that decline in fair value of the available-for-sale equity instrument or fair value of the interest in the investee’s
identifiable net assets 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 decline of
over 20% in such fair value. “Non-temporary decline” refers to such fair value decreased continuously for more than 12 months. The
continuous decreasing period is determined on the basis of the drop of such fair value accumulated over 10%.
      When the available-for-sale financial assets impair, the accumulated loss originally included in the other comprehensive income
arising from the decrease in fair value was transferred out and included in the profit or loss for the period. The accumulated loss that
transferred out is the balance of the initial acquisition 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
comprehensive 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.
      (4) 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 receive 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 such financial asset and 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.
      If all criteria of recognition of transfer of financial assets are satisfied, the difference between the carrying amount of the
financial assets transferred and the sum of the consideration received from the transfer and the accumulated changes in fair value
originally included in other comprehensive income shall be recognised in the profit or loss for the period.
      If a part of the financial assets is qualified for derecognition, the carrying amount of the financial asset is allocated between the
part that continues to be recognised and the part that qualifies for derecognition, based on the fair values of the respective parts. The
difference between the following amounts is recognised in profit or loss for the period: the sum of the consideration received and the
carrying amount of the part that qualifies for derecognition and the aforementioned carrying amount.
      For financial assets that are sold or transferred with recourse or endorsement, the Company needs to determine whether the risk
and rewards of ownership of the financial asset have been substantially transferred. If the risk and rewards of ownership of the


                                                                                                                                         68
                                                                   Shandong Chenming Paper Holdings Limited 2018 Interim Report


financial asset have been substantially transferred, the financial assets shall be derecognised. If the risk and rewards of ownership of
the financial asset have been retained, the financial assets shall not be derecognised. If the Company neither transfers nor retains
substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset, the Company shall assess whether the control over the
financial asset is retained, and the financial assets shall be accounting for according to the above paragraphs.
      (5) Classification and measurement of financial liabilities
      Financial liabilities are classified at initial recognition: financial liabilities recognised at fair value with changes carried through
profit or loss and other financial liabilities. For financial liabilities measured at fair value with changes recognised in profit or loss of
the current period, relevant transaction costs are directly recognised in profit or loss for the period. The amount is recognised initially
at fair value and the subsequent changes in fair value will be recognised in profit or loss for the period. For other financial liabilities,
relevant transaction costs are included in the amount initially recognised and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the
effective interest method, and relevant gain or loss arising from derecognition or amortisation are included in current profit or loss.
      (6) 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 Company (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 are 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.
      (7) Offset of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities
      If the Company owns the legitimate rights of offsetting the recognised financial assets and financial liabilities, which are
enforceable currently, and the Company plans to realise the financial assets or to clear off the financial liabilities on a net amount
basis or simultaneously, the financial assets and financial liabilities shall be reported in the balance sheet upon offsetting. Otherwise,
financial assets and financial liabilities are presented separately in the balance sheet without offsetting.
      (8) Equity instruments
      Equity instruments are any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of an entity after deducting all of its liabilities.
The issuance (including refinancing), repurchase, sale or cancellation of equity instruments by the Company is accounted for
movement in equity. The Company does not recognise the movement in fair value of equity instruments. Transaction costs related to
equity transactions are deducted from equity.
      Various distributions (excluding dividends) made by the Company to holders of equity instruments reduces owners’ equity. The
Company does not recognise the movement in fair value of equity instruments.

11. Accounts receivable

(1) Making bad debt provision individually for individually significant accounts receivable

Judgment basis or amount standard for individually significant         Accounts receivable of more than RMB1 million is recognised as
amount                                                                 individually significant accounts receivable by the Company.
                                                                       For accounts receivable that is individually significant, the
                                                                       Company assesses such accounts receivable individually for
                                                                       impairment. If it is determined that no objective evidence of
                                                                       impairment exists for an individually assessed financial asset, the
Method for making bad debt provision individually for                  financial asset is included in a group of financial assets with
individually significant accounts receivable                           similar credit risk characteristics and collectively assessed for
                                                                       impairment. Accounts receivable for which an impairment loss is
                                                                       individually recognised are not included in a group of accounts
                                                                       receivable with similar credit risk characteristics and collectively

12. Inventories

Whether the Company needs to comply with the disclosure requirements for specific industries
No
      (1) Classification of inventories
      Inventories mainly include raw materials, work in progress, goods in stock, developing products and consumable biological
assets etc.
      (2) Pricing of inventories received and dispatched
      Inventories are measured at their actual cost when obtained. Cost of an inventory consists of purchase costs, processing costs
and other costs. When used and dispatched, inventories will be calculated with weighted average method.
      The developing products of land development companies under the Company are initially measured at cost. The costs of
developing products include preconstruction costs, expenditures for auxiliary facilities, expenses on construction and installation,
borrowing costs incurred before the completion of the subject project and other related expenses during the course of the
development. Once the inventories are delivered, the actual costs will be determined using specific measurement methods.
      Consumable biological assets refer to biological assets held-for-sale which include growing timber. Consumable biological
assets without a stock are stated at cost at initial recognition, and subsequently measured at fair value when there is a stock. Changes
in fair values shall be recognised as profit or loss in the current period. The cost of self-planting, self-cultivating consumable
biological assets is the necessary expenses directly attributable to such assets prior to canopy closure, including borrowing costs
eligible for capitalisation. Subsequent expenses such as maintenance cost incurred after canopy closure shall be included in profit or
loss for the current period.
      The cost of consumable biological assets shall, at the time of harvest or disposal, be carried forward at carrying amount using
the batch averaging method.
      (3) Recognition of net realisable value of inventory and provision for inventory impairment
      Net realisable value refers to the amount of the estimated price of inventories less the estimated cost incurred upon completion,
estimated sales expenses and taxes 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. Usually, 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. For large quantity and low value
items of inventories, provision may be made based on categories of inventories. For items of inventories relating to a product line
that is produced and marketed in the same geographical area and with the same or similar end uses or purposes, which cannot be
practicable valued separately from other items in that product line, provision for decline in value of inventories may be determined
on an aggregate basis.
      After making the provision for inventory impairment, in case the factors causing inventory impairment no longer exists, and the
net realisable value of an inventory is higher than its book-value, the original provision for inventory impairment shall be transferred
back and incorporated into the profit or loss for the current period.
      (4) We implement permanent inventory system as our inventory stock taking system.
      (5) Low-value consumables and packaging materials are amortised when issued for use.

13. Assets held-for-sale

     The Company shall classify a non-current asset or disposal group as held for sale if its carrying amount will be recovered
principally through a sale transaction (including a non-monetary asset exchange of commercial substance, the same below) rather
than through continuous use, and when all of the following conditions are met: according to the practice of disposing of this type of
assets or disposal groups in a similar transaction, a non-current asset or disposal group is available for immediate sale in its present
condition; the Company has made a resolution in respect of a disposal plan and obtained a firm purchase commitment from a buyer;
and the sale is probable to be completed within one year. A disposal group is a group of assets to be disposed of, by sale or otherwise,
together as a group in a single transaction, and liabilities directly associated with those assets that will be transferred in the
transaction. Where goodwill acquired in a business combination has been allocated to the asset group or groups to which a disposal
group belongs in accordance with the Accounting Standard for Business Enterprises No. 8 - Impairment of Assets, the disposal group
shall include the goodwill allocated to it.


                                                                                                                                     70
                                                                 Shandong Chenming Paper Holdings Limited 2018 Interim Report


      When the Company measures initially or remeasures the non-current assets and disposal group classified as held for sale on the
balance sheet date, its carrying amount is written down to its fair value less selling costs if its carrying amount is higher than its fair
value less costs to sell. The reduced amount is recognised as asset impairment loss and charged to current profit or loss, with
provision made for the impairment of the held-for-sale assets. With regard to the disposal group, the asset impairment loss recognised
is offset by the carrying amount of the goodwill in the disposal group first, and then by the carrying amount of each of the
non-current assets in the disposal group which are applicable to the measure requirements under the Accounting Standard for
Business Enterprises No. 42 - Noncurrent Assets Held For Sale, Disposal Groups and Discontinued Operations (hereinafter referred
to as “Held-For-Sale Standard”) pro rata. If on a subsequent balance sheet date, the net amount of the fair value of a held-for-sale
disposal group less its costs to sell increases, the amount reduced previously shall be recovered, and reversed in the asset impairment
loss recognised on the non-current asset which is applicable to the measurement requirements of the Held-For-Sale Standard after the
non-current asset is classified as held for sale. The reversed amount is credited to current profit or loss, and the carrying amount of
each non-current asset (other than goodwill) which is applicable to the measurement requirements of the Held-For-Sale Standard is
increased pro rata according to the percentage of each non-current asset’s carrying amount. Neither the carrying amount of goodwill
which has been offset nor the asset impairment loss recognised before the non-current asset to which the measurement requirements
of the Held-For-Sale Standard is applicable is classified as held for sale can be reversed.
      No depreciation or amortisation is provided for a non-current asset in the non-current assets or disposal groups held for sale.
Interest and other expenses attributable to the liabilities of a disposal group held for sale shall continue to be recognised.
      When a non-current asset or a disposal group does not meet the condition to be classified as held for sale, the Company ceases
to classify it as held for sale or removes the non-current asset from the disposal group held for sale, and measures it at the lower of:
(1) the carrying amount before it was classified as held for sale, adjusted for any depreciation (or amortisation) or impairment that
would have been recognised had it not been classified as held for sale, and (2) its recoverable amount.

14. Long-term equity investments

      Long-term equity investments under this section refer to long-term equity investments in which the Company has control, joint
control or significant influence over the investee. Long-term equity investment without control or joint control or significant
influence of the Company is accounted for as available-for-sale financial assets or financial assets measured at fair value with any
change in fair value charged to profit or loss. Details on its accounting policy please refer to Note IV. 9 “Financial instruments”.
      Joint control is the Company’s contractually agreed sharing of control over an arrangement, which relevant activities of such
arrangement must be decided by unanimously agreement from parties who share control. Significant influence is the power of the
Company to participate in the financial and operating policy decisions of an investee, but to fail to control or joint control the
formulation of such policies together with other parties.
      (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 under the consolidated financial statements of the ultimate controlling party on the date of combination. The difference
between the initial cost of the long-term equity investment and the cash paid, non-cash assets transferred as well as the carrying
amount of the debts borne by the absorbing party shall offset against the capital reserve. If the capital reserve is insufficient to offset,
the retained earnings shall be adjusted. If the consideration of the merger is satisfied by issue of equity securities, 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
under the consolidated financial statements of the ultimate controlling party on the date of combination. With the total face value of
the shares issued as share capital, the difference between the initial cost of the long-term equity investment and total face value of the
shares issued shall be used to offset against the capital reserve. If the capital reserve is insufficient to offset, the retained earnings
shall be adjusted. For business combination resulted in an enterprise under common control by acquiring equity of the absorbing
party under common control through a stage-up approach with several transactions, these transactions will be judged whether they
shall be treat as “transactions in a basket”. If they belong to “transactions in a basket”, these transactions will be accounted for a
transaction in obtaining control. If they do not belong to “transactions in a basket”, 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 under the consolidated financial
statements of the ultimate controlling party on the date of combination. The difference between the initial cost of the long-term
equity investment and the aggregate of the carrying amount of the long-term equity investment before merging and the carrying
amount the additional consideration paid for further share acquisition on the date of combination shall offset against the capital
reserve. If the capital reserve is insufficient to offset, the retained earnings shall be adjusted. Other comprehensive income recognised
as a result of the previously held equity investment accounted for using equity method on the date of combination or recognised for
available-for-sale financial assets will not be accounted for.
      For a long-term equity investment acquired through a business combination involving enterprises not under common control,
the initial investment cost of the long-term equity investment shall be the cost of combination on the date of acquisition. Cost of
combination includes the aggregate fair value of assets paid by the acquirer, liabilities incurred or borne and equity securities issued.
For business combination resulted in an enterprise not under common control by acquiring equity of the acquiree under common
control through a stage-up approach with several transactions, these transactions will be judged whether they shall be treat as
“transactions in a basket”. If they belong to “transactions in a basket”, these transactions will be accounted for a transaction in
obtaining control. If they do not belong to “transactions in a basket”, the initial investment cost of the long-term equity investment
accounted for using cost method shall be the aggregate of the carrying amount of equity investment previously held by the acquiree
and the additional investment cost. For previously held equity accounted for using equity method, relevant other comprehensive
income will not be accounted for. For previously held equity investment classified as available-for-sale financial asset, the difference
between its fair value and carrying amount, as well as the accumulated movement in fair value previously included in the other
comprehensive income shall be transferred to profit or loss for the current period.

                                                                                                                                         71
                                                                  Shandong Chenming Paper Holdings Limited 2018 Interim Report


      Agent fees incurred by the absorbing party or 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.
      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 Company, the fair value of equity securities issued by the Company, the agreed value of investment contract
or agreement, the fair value or original carrying amount of the non-monetary asset exchange transaction which the asset will be
transferred out of the Company, 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.
For additional equity investment made in order to obtain significant influence or common control over investee without resulted in
control, the relevant cost for long-term equity investment shall be the aggregate of fair value of previously held equity investment
and additional investment cost determined according to “Accounting Standard for Business Enterprises No. 22 – Recognition and
measurement of Financial Instruments”.
      (2) Subsequent measurement and method for profit or loss recognition
      Long-term equity investments with joint control (excluding those constitute joint ventures) or significant influence on the
investee are accounted for using equity method. 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. The cost for long-term equity
investment is adjusted in the event of additional investment or investment recovery. 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.
      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 and other comprehensive income shall be recognised based on the Company’s share
of the net profits or losses and other comprehensive income made by the investee, respectively. Meanwhile, the carrying amount of
long-term equity investment shall be adjusted. The carrying amount of long-term equity investment shall be reduced based on the
Company’s share of profit or cash dividend distributed by the investee. In respect of the other movement of net profit or loss, other
comprehensive income and profit distribution of investee, the carrying amount of long-term equity investment shall be adjusted and
included in the capital reserves. The Company shall recognise its share of the investee’s net profits or losses based on the fair values
of the investee’s individual separately identifiable assets at the time of acquisition, after making appropriate adjustments thereto. In
the event of inconformity between the accounting policies and accounting periods of the investee and the Company, the financial
statements of the investee shall be adjusted in conformity with the accounting policies and accounting periods of the Company.
Investment gain and other comprehensive income shall be recognised accordingly. In respect of the transactions between the
Company and its associates and joint ventures in which the assets disposed of or sold are not classified as operation, the share of
unrealised gain or loss arising from internal transactions shall be eliminated by the portion attributable to the Company. Investment
gain shall be recognised accordingly. However, any unrealised loss arising from internal transactions between the Company and an
investee is not eliminated to the extent that the loss is impairment loss of the transferred assets. In the event that the Company
disposed of an asset classified as operation to its joint ventures or associates, which resulted in acquisition of long-term equity
investment by the investor without obtaining control, the initial investment cost of additional long-term equity investment shall be the
fair value of disposed operation. The difference between initial investment cost and the carrying amount of disposed operation will be
fully included in profit or loss for the current period. In the event that the Company sold an asset classified as operation to its
associates or joint ventures, the difference between the carrying amount of consideration received and operation shall be fully
included in profit or loss for the current period. In the event that the Company acquired an asset which formed an operation from its
associates or joint ventures, relevant transaction shall be accounted for in accordance with “Accounting Standards for Business
Enterprises No. 20 - Business combination”. All profit or loss related to the transaction shall be accounted for.
      The Company’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 Company 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
Company 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 Company on 1 January 2007, the amounts amortised over the
original residual term using the straight-line method is included in the profit or loss for the period.
      ③ Acquisition of minority interest
      Upon the preparation of the consolidated financial statements, capital reserve is adjusted based on the difference between the
additional long term equity investment from acquisition of minority interest and the share of net assets of the subsidiary attributable
to the additional shareholding from the date of acquisition (or date of combination). In the case of insufficient capital surplus to offset
impairment, retained earnings shall be adjusted.
      ④ Disposal of long-term equity investments
      In these consolidated financial statements, for disposal of a portion of the long-term equity investments in a subsidiary without
loss of control, the difference between disposal cost and disposal of long-term equity investments relative to the net assets of the
subsidiary is charged to the owners’ equity. If disposal of a portion of the long-term equity investments in a subsidiary by the parent

                                                                                                                                          72
                                                                  Shandong Chenming Paper Holdings Limited 2018 Interim Report


company results in a loss in control, it shall be accounted for in accordance with the relevant accounting policies as described in Note
V. 6. (2) “Preparation Method of the Consolidated Financial Statements”.
      On disposal of a long-term equity investment otherwise, the difference between the carrying amount of the investment and the
actual consideration paid is recognised through profit or loss in the current period.
      In respect of long-term equity investment accounted for using equity method with the remaining equity interest after disposal
also accounted for using equity method, other comprehensive income previously under owners’ equity shall be accounted for in
accordance with the same accounting treatment for direct disposal of relevant asset or liability by investee on pro rata basis at the
time of disposal. The owners’ equity recognised for the movement of other owners’ equity (excluding net profit or loss, other
comprehensive income and profit distribution of investee) shall be transferred to profit or loss for the current period on pro rata basis.
      In respect of long-term equity investment accounted for using cost method with the remaining equity interest after disposal also
accounted for using cost method, other comprehensive income recognised using equity method or the recognition and measurement
standard of financial instruments before obtaining control over the investee shall be accounted for in accordance with the same
accounting treatment for direct disposal of relevant asset or liability by investee, and transferred to profit or loss for the current period
on pro rata basis. Movement of other owners’ equity (excluding net profit or loss, other comprehensive income and profit distribution
under net asset of investee accounted for and recognised using equity method) shall be transferred to profit or loss for the current
period on pro rata basis.
      In the event of loss of control over investee due to partial disposal of equity investment by the Company, in preparing separate
financial statements, the remaining equity interest which can apply common control or impose significant influence over the investee
after disposal shall be accounted for using equity method. Such remaining equity interest shall be treated as accounting for using
equity method since it is obtained and adjustment was made accordingly. For the remaining equity interest which cannot apply
common control or impose significant influence over the investee after disposal, it shall be accounted for using the recognition and
measurement standard of financial instruments. The difference between its fair value and carrying amount as at the date of losing
control shall be included in profit or loss for the current period. In respect of other comprehensive income recognised using equity
method or the recognition and measurement standard of financial instruments before the Company obtained control over the investee,
it shall be accounted for in accordance with the same accounting treatment for direct disposal of relevant asset or liability by investee
at the time when the control over investee is lost. Movement of other owners’ equity (excluding net profit or loss, other
comprehensive income and profit distribution under net asset of investee accounted for and recognised using equity method) shall be
transferred to profit or loss for the current period at the time when the control over investee is lost. Of which, for the remaining equity
interest after disposal accounted for using equity method, other comprehensive income and other owners’ equity shall be transferred
on pro rata basis. For the remaining equity interest after disposal accounted for using the recognition and measurement standard of
financial instruments, other comprehensive income and other owners’ equity shall be fully transferred.
      In the event of loss of common control or significant influence over investee due to partial disposal of equity investment by the
Company, the remaining equity interest after disposal shall be accounted for using the recognition and measurement standard of
financial instruments. The difference between its fair value and carrying amount as at the date of losing common control or
significant influence shall be included in profit or loss for the current period. In respect of other comprehensive income recognised
under previous equity investment using equity method, it shall be accounted for in accordance with the same accounting treatment for
direct disposal of relevant asset or liability by investee at the time when equity method was ceased to be used. Movement of other
owners’ equity (excluding net profit or loss, other comprehensive income and profit distribution under net asset of investee accounted
for and recognised using equity method) shall be transferred to profit or loss for the current period at the time when equity method
was ceased to be used.
      The Company disposes its equity investment in subsidiary by a stage-up approach with several transactions until the control
over the subsidiary is lost. If the said transactions belong to “transactions in a basket”, each transaction shall be accounted for as a
single transaction of disposing equity investment of subsidiary and loss of control. The difference between the disposal consideration
for each transaction and the carrying amount of the corresponding long-term equity investment of disposed equity interest before loss
of control shall initially recognised as other comprehensive income, and subsequently transferred to profit or loss arising from loss of
control for the current period upon loss of control.

15. Investment property

     Measurement of investment property
     Measured by using the cost method
     Depreciation or amortisation methods
     Investment property refers to real estate held to earn rentals or for capital appreciation, or both.
     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 Company 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 Company adopts cost method for subsequent measurement of investment property, which is depreciated using the same
policy as that for buildings.
     The method for impaired test of investment property and measurement of impairment provision are detailed in Note V. 20
“Impairment of long-term assets”.
     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.
     In the event that an investment property is converted to an owner-occupied property, such property shall become fixed assets or
intangible assets since the date of its conversion. In the event that an owner-occupied property is converted to real estate held to earn


                                                                                                                                          73
                                                                 Shandong Chenming Paper Holdings Limited 2018 Interim Report


rentals or for capital appreciation, such fixed assets or intangible assets shall become an investment property since the date of its
conversion. Investment property is measured at cost during its conversion. 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.

16. Fixed assets

(1) Conditions for recognition

     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. Fixed assets are recognised only if the Company is
very likely to receive economic benefits from the asset and its cost can be measured reliably. A fixed asset shall be initially measured
at cost and the effect of any expected costs of abandoning the asset at the end of its use.

(2) Depreciation method

                                                               Useful lives of     Estimated residual value Annual depreciation rate

       Estimated net residual value of a fixed asset is the estimated amount that the Company would currently obtain from disposal of
the asset, after deducting the estimated costs of disposal, if the asset were already of the stage and in the condition expected at the end
of its useful life.


(3) Recognition, accounting and depreciation method of fixed assets acquired under finance leases

     Leases are classified as finance leases whenever the terms of the lease transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of asset
ownership to the lessee and titles to the assets may or may not eventually be transferred. For fixed assets acquired under finance
leases, the basis for provision of leased assets depreciation is the same as that of self-owned fixed assets. When it can be reasonably
determined that the ownership of a leased asset will be transferred at the end of the lease term, it is depreciated over the period of
expected use; otherwise, the lease asset is depreciated over the shorter period of the lease term and the period of expected use.

17. Construction in progress

     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 reclassified to fixed assets when it has
reached the working condition for its intended use.
     The method for impaired test of construction in progress and measurement of impairment provision are detailed in Note IV. 20
“Impairment of long-term asset”.

18. Borrowing costs

     Borrowing costs include interest, amortisation of discounts or premiums related to borrowings, ancillary costs incurred in
connection with the arrangement of borrowings, and exchange differences arising from foreign currency borrowings. 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. Other borrowing costs shall
be recognised as expense in the period in which they are incurred.
     Where funds are borrowed for a specific purpose, the amount of interest to be capitalised shall be the actual interest expense
incurred on that borrowing for the period less any bank interest earned from depositing the borrowed funds before being used into
banks or any investment income on the temporary investment of those funds. Where funds are borrowed for general purpose, the
Company shall determine the amount of interest to be capitalised on such borrowings by applying a capitalisation rate to the

                                                                                                                                        74
                                                                   Shandong Chenming Paper Holdings Limited 2018 Interim Report


weighted average of the excess amounts of cumulative expenditures on the asset over and above the amounts of specific-purpose
borrowings. The capitalisation rate shall be the weighted average of the interest rates applicable to the general-purpose borrowings.
     During the capitalisation period, exchange differences on a specific purpose borrowing denominated in foreign currency shall be
capitalised. Exchange differences related to general-purpose borrowings denominated in foreign currency shall be included in profit
or loss for the current period.
     Qualifying assets are assets (fixed assets, investment property, inventories, etc.) that necessarily take a substantial period of time
for acquisition, construction or production to get ready for their intended use or sale.
     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.


19. Intangible assets

(1) Accounting method, useful life and impairment test

      An intangible asset is an identifiable non-monetary asset without physical substance owned or controlled by the Company.
      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 Company 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 Company 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 Company 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, an entity shall estimate the useful
life of that asset and apply the accounting policies accordingly.

(2) Accounting policy for internal research and development expenditure

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

20. Impairment of long-term asset

     The Company 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. Goodwill, intangible assets with
an indefinite useful life and intangible assets beyond working conditions will be tested for impairment annually, regardless of
whether there is any indication of impairment.
     If the impairment test result shows that the recoverable amount of an asset is less than its carrying amount, the impairment
provision will be made according to the difference and recognised as an impairment loss. The recoverable amount of an asset is the
higher of its fair value less costs of disposal and the present value of the future cash flows expected to be derived from the asset. An
asset’s fair value is the price in a sale agreement in an arm’s length transaction. If there is no sale agreement but the asset is traded in


                                                                                                                                            75
                                                                Shandong Chenming Paper Holdings Limited 2018 Interim Report


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
Company 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.
      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 Company 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.

21. Long-term prepaid expenses

     Long-term prepaid expenses are expenditures and other expenses which have incurred but that shall be amortised over the
current period and subsequent periods of more than one year. Long-term prepaid expenses of the Company mainly include expenses
on improvement of fixed assets and woodland rent. Long-term prepaid expenses are amortised over the estimated benefit period
using the straight-line method.

22. Employee benefits

(1) Accounting treatment for short-term staff remuneration

     Short-term remuneration mainly includes salaries, bonuses, allowance and subsides, staff welfare, medical insurance premium,
maternity insurance premium, work-related injury insurance premium, housing provident funds, union operation costs and employee
education costs and non-monetary welfare etc. Short-term remuneration incurred during the accounting period in which the
Company’s staff provided services for the Company is recognised as liability and included in profit or loss for the current period or
related asset costs. Of which, non-monetary welfare is measured at fair value.

(2) Accounting treatment for post-employment benefits

     Post-employment benefits mainly include pension insurance premium and unemployment insurance premium. Post-employment
benefits mainly adopt defined contribution plan. Relevant contribution amount is included in related asset costs or profit or loss for
the current period during the period in which the expenses incurred.

(3) Accounting treatment for termination benefits

     When the Company terminates the employment relationship with employees before the end of the employment contracts or
provides compensation as an offer to encourage employees to accept voluntary redundancy, the Company shall recognise employee
compensation liabilities arising from compensation for staff dismissal and included in profit or loss for the current period, when the
Company cannot revoke unilaterally compensation for dismissal due to the cancellation of labour relationship plans and employee
redundant proposals; and the Company recognise cost and expenses related to payment of compensation for dismissal and
restructuring, whichever is earlier. However, if the compensation for termination of employment is not expected to be fully paid
within 12 months from the reporting period, it shall be accounted for other long-term staff remuneration.


(4) Accounting treatment for other long-term employee benefit

     The Company does not provide any other long-term employee benefit for its staff.

23. Provisions

     Obligations pertinent to the contingencies which satisfy the following conditions are recognised as provisions: (1) The
obligation is a current obligation borne by the Company; (2) it is likely that an outflow of economic benefits will be resulted from the
performance of the obligation; and (3) the amount of the obligation can be reliably measured.
     At the balance sheet date, provisions shall be measured at the best estimate of the necessary expenses required for the
performance of existing obligations, after taking into account relevant risks, uncertainties, time value of money and other factors

                                                                                                                                      76
                                                                 Shandong Chenming Paper Holdings Limited 2018 Interim Report


pertinent to the contingencies.
     If all or some expenses incurred for settlement of provisions are expected to be borne by the third party, the compensation
amount shall, on a recoverable basis, be recognised as asset separately, and compensation amount recognised shall not be more than
the carrying amount of provisions.


24. Preference shares, perpetual bonds and other financial instruments

     (1) Classification of perpetual bonds and preference shares
     Perpetual bonds, preference shares and other financial instruments issued by the Company are classified as equity instruments
when all of the following conditions are satisfied:
     ① The financial instruments have no contractual obligation to pay in cash or other financial assets to other parties nor to
exchange financial assets or financial liabilities under potential adverse condition with other parties;
     ②If the financial instrument will or may be settled in the entity’s own equity instruments, it is a non-derivative instrument that
includes no contractual obligations to deliver a variable number of its own equity instruments; or a derivative that will be settled only
by the Company exchanging a fixed amount of cash or other financial asset for a fixed number of its own equity instruments.
     Other than financial instruments classified as equity instruments according to the above conditions, other financial instruments
issued by the Company shall be classified as financial liabilities.
     The financial instruments issued by the Company which are compound financial instruments are recognised as a liability based
on the fair value of the liability component, and the amount net of the fair value of the liability component from the actual amount
received is recognised as “other equity instruments”. Transaction costs that relate to the issue of a compound financial instrument are
allocated to the liability and equity components in proportion to the allocation of gross proceeds.
     (2) Accounting treatment of perpetual bonds and preference shares
     For financial instruments classified as financial liabilities (such as perpetual bonds and preference shares), except borrowing
costs qualifying for capitalisation (please refer to this Note V. 18 “Borrowing costs”), its related interest, dividends, gains or losses,
and gains or losses arising from redemption or refinancing are credited to profit or loss for the current period.
     For financial instruments classified as equity instruments (such as perpetual bonds and preference shares), its issue (including
refinancing), repurchase, sale or cancellation are treated by the Company as changes in equity, with related transaction costs
deducted from equity. The Company’s distribution to holders of equity instruments are treated as a distribution of profits.
     Changes in the fair value of equity instruments are not recognised by the Company.

25. Revenue

Whether the Company needs to comply with the disclosure requirements for specific industries
No
     (1) 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. Confirmation time for sales revenue: In terms of domestic sales, confirmation will be made on the day when
goods are delivered to the clients. While in terms of overseas sales, confirmation will be made on the day when goods are loaded on
board and declared.
     (2) 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
Company; 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 recognise the
revenue from the rendering of services based on the cost of rendering services already incurred and expected to be compensated, and
the cost of rendering services incurred shall be recognised as an expense for the current period. If the cost of rendering services is
expected not to be compensated, it shall be recognised as an expense.
     When a contract or agreement signed by the Company 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.
     (3) Revenue from rendering of services
     Revenue from rendering of services is recognised as income on the accrual basis in accordance with the underlying contracts or
agreements.
     (4) Interest income
     Interest income is calculated based on the time during which the Company’s monetary fund, and the effective interest rates.




                                                                                                                                         77
                                                                 Shandong Chenming Paper Holdings Limited 2018 Interim Report


26. Government grants

(1) Judgment basis and accounting treatment of government grants related to assets

     Government grants obtained for acquisition or construction of long-term assets or other forms of long-term asset formation are
classified as related to assets. 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.


(2) Judgment basis and accounting treatment of government grants related to income

   Other government grants are classified as related to revenue. 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.

27. Deferred income tax assets/deferred income tax liabilities

      (1) Current income tax
      At the balance sheet date, current income tax liabilities (or assets) for the current and prior periods shall be measured at the
amount expected to be paid (or recovered) according to the requirements of tax laws. Taxable profits, which are the basis for
calculating the current income tax expense, are determined after adjusting the accounting profits before tax for the year in accordance
with relevant requirements of tax laws.
      (2) Deferred income tax assets and deferred income tax liabilities
      Temporary differences arising from the difference between the carrying amount of an asset or liability and its tax base, and the
difference between the tax base and the carrying amount of those items that are not recognised as assets or liabilities but have a tax
base that can be determined according to tax laws, shall be recognised as deferred income tax assets and deferred income tax
liabilities using the balance sheet liability method.
      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 Company 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 Company is able to control the timing of the reversal of the temporary
difference; and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future.
    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 Company recognises the corresponding deferred income tax asset for deductible
temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures to the extent that it is probable that
taxable profits will be available against which the deductible temporary differences can be utilised, except when both of the
following conditions are satisfied: it is not probable that the temporary difference will reverse in the foreseeable future; and it is not
probable that taxable profits will be available in the future, against which the temporary difference can be utilised.
    Chenming Paper 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.
    At the balance sheet date, deferred income tax assets and deferred income tax liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are
expected to apply to the period when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, according to the requirements of tax laws.
    At the balance sheet date, Chenming Paper shall review the carrying amount of a deferred income tax asset. If it is probable that
sufficient taxable profits will not be available in future periods to allow the benefit of the deferred income tax asset to be utilised, the
carrying amount of the deferred income tax asset shall be reduced. Any such reduction in amount shall be reversed when it becomes
probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available.
      (3) Income tax expense
      Income tax expense comprises current income tax expense and deferred income tax expense.
      Current income tax expense (current income tax income) and deferred income tax expense (deferred income tax income) are
included in profit or loss for the current period, except for: recognised as other comprehensive income or current income tax and
deferred income tax related to transactions or events that are directly recognised in other comprehensive income or owners’ equity,
which are recognised directly in owners’ equity, and deferred income tax arising from a business combination, which is adjusted
against the carrying amount of goodwill.
      (4) Offset of income tax
      After granted the legal rights of net settlement and with the intention to use net settlement or obtain assets, repay debt, the
Company, at the same time, records the net amount after offsetting its current income tax assets and current income tax liabilities.
      The Company was granted the legal rights of net settlement of current income tax assets and current income tax liabilities.
Deferred income tax assets and deferred income tax liabilities are related to income tax to be paid by the same entity liable to pay tax
to the same tax collection and management authority or related to different entities liable to pay tax, but the relevant entity liable to
pay tax is intended to apply net settlement of current income tax assets and liabilities or, at the same time, obtain assets, repay debt
whenever every deferred income tax assets and liabilities with importance would be reversed in the future, the Company records the

                                                                                                                                        78
                                                                 Shandong Chenming Paper Holdings Limited 2018 Interim Report


net amount after offsetting its current income tax assets and current income tax liabilities.

28. Lease

(1) Accounting treatment for operating leases

      Leases are classified as finance leases whenever the terms of the lease transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of asset
ownership to the lessee and titles to the assets may or may not eventually be transferred. All other leases are classified as operating
leases.
      (1) Operating lease business with the Company 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 Company 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 for finance leases

      (1) Financing lease business with the Company recorded as lessee
      On the beginning date of the lease, the entry value of leased asset shall be at the lower of the fair value of the leased asset and
the present value of minimum lease payment at the beginning date of the lease. Minimum lease payment shall be the entry value of
long-term accounts payable, with difference recognised as unrecognised financing expenses. In addition, initial direct costs
attributable to leased items incurred during the process of lease negotiation and signing of lease agreement shall be included in the
value of leased assets. The balance of minimum lease payment after deducting unrecognised financing expenses shall be accounted
for long-term liability and long-term liability due within one year.
      Unrecognised financing expenses shall be recognised as financing expenses for the current period using effective interest
method during the leasing period. Contingent rent shall be included in profit or loss for the current period at the time it incurred.
      (2) Financing lease business with the Company recorded as lessor
      On the beginning date of the lease, the entry value of lease receivable shall be the aggregate of minimum lease receivable and
initial direct costs at the beginning date of the lease. The unsecured balance shall be recorded. The aggregate of minimum lease
receivable, initial direct costs and unsecured balance and the different between their present values shall be recognised as unrealised
financing income. The balance of lease receivable after deducting unrecognised financing income shall be accounted for long-term
debt and long-term debt due within one year.
      Unrecognised financing income shall be recognised as financing income for the current period using effective interest method
during the leasing period. Contingent rent shall be included in profit or loss for the current period at the time it incurred.
      (3) The debts arising from the financing lease business was provided for in the following manners:
      ① Individual assessment of impairment
      When assessing the probability of recovery of lease receivables from a customer, the ability and willingness to pay lease
payments, and the payment record of the customer, profitability of the lease projects, and guarantees for leased assets will be
analysed. If there are evidences indicating that the customer is unable to repay and its willingness to repay is not strong, and the
principal and interest are still not recoverable, or only a very small portion can be recovered, after taking all possible measures or all
necessary legal procedures, the receivables are subject to individual impairment assessment, and the difference between the present
value of the future cash flows expected to be derived from the receivables and the carrying amount shall be accounted for as
provision for bad debts and recognised in profit or loss.
      ② Collective assessment of impairment based on credit risk characteristics
      At the end of the period, each individual leasing contract is classified based on the amount past due and recovery, and the major
  basis for classification and provision for impairment are as follows:
                    Category                               Basis for classification                   Proportion of provision (%)
                   Normal                     Not yet past due                                                  0.30
                                              90 days past due                                                  5.00
                                              90 days - 1 year past due (inclusive)                             10.00

                  Past due                    1-2 years past due (inclusive)                                    30.00
                                              2- 3 years past due (inclusive)                                   50.00
                                              Over 3 years past due                                            100.00
     ③ No bad debt provision will be made for lease receivables from related parties unless there is objective evidence that the


                                                                                                                                       79
                                                                 Shandong Chenming Paper Holdings Limited 2018 Interim Report


     Company is unable to recover the lease receivables from related parties.
    If there is objective evidence that the lease receivables from related parties are recovered and can be linked objectively to an
event occurring after the write-down, the impairment losses recognised will be reversed and accounted for in profit or loss. The
carrying amount reversed shall not exceed the assumed amortised costs on the date of reversal of the lease receivables had no
impairment provision been made.

29. Other significant accounting policies and accounting estimates

     (1) Discontinued operations
     A discontinued operation is a separately identified component of the Group that either has been disposed of or is classified as
held for sale, and meets one of the following conditions: ① represents a separate major line of business or geographical area of
operations; ② is part of a single co-ordinated plan to dispose of a separate major line of business or geographical area of operations;
and ③ is a subsidiary acquired exclusively with a view to resale.
     For the accounting treatment of discontinued operations, please refer to the relevant descriptions in Note IV. 12 “Assets and
disposal groups held for sale”.
     (2) Repurchase of shares
     Share repurchase consideration paid and transaction costs to reduce the owner’s equity, repurchase, transfer or cancellation of
Chenming Paper’s shares, the gains or losses are not recognised.
     In respect of transfer of treasury shares, the difference between the actual amount received and the carrying amount of treasury
shares shall be included in capital reserve. When insufficient to dilute, capital reserve will be offset against the surplus reserve and
retained profits. Treasury shares are cancelled at par value and by the number of shares cancelled to reduce the share capital. The
difference between the book balance and the nominal value of the treasury shares shall be offset against the capital reserve. When
insufficient to dilute, capital reserve will be offset against the surplus reserve and retained profits.

30. Changes in significant accounting policies and estimates

(1) Changes in accounting policies

□ Applicable √ Not applicable


(2) Changes in significant accounting estimates

□ Applicable √ Not applicable


31. Others

      The Company needs to make judgments, estimates and assumptions as to the carrying amount of statement items which cannot
be accurately calculated during the application of the Company’s accounting policies. Such judgments, estimates and assumptions are
made based on the historical experiences of the Company’s management and taking into account 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 different from the current estimation of the Company’s management,
which may cause critical adjustment to the carrying amount of assets or liabilities which may be affected in the future.
      The Company 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 Company needs to make judgments, estimates and assumptions as to the items
amount of financial statements are set out below:
      (1) Classification of leases
      The Company classifies its leases as operating lease and financing lease in accordance with “Accounting Standard for Business
Enterprises No. 21 - Leases”. When classifying leases, the management needs to analyse and judge whether all risks and returns
relating to the ownership of leased out assets have transferred to the leasee, or whether the Company has obliged to all risks and
returns relating to the ownership of leased assets.
      (2) Provision for bad debts
      The Company 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.
      (3) Allowance for inventories
      Under the accounting policies of inventories and by measuring at the lower of cost and net realisable value, the Company makes
allowance for inventories which have costs higher than net realisable value or become obsolete and slow-moving. Write-down of


                                                                                                                                        80
                                                                Shandong Chenming Paper Holdings Limited 2018 Interim Report


inventories to their net realisable values is based on the sale ability 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.
     (4) Fair value of consumable biological assets
     A consumable biological asset is measured at fair value when there is a stock. A stock is judged to be formed when the
consumable biological asset - timber survives well after a growth period and the merchantable timber exceeds 0.8 cubic metres.
     The fair value of a consumable biological asset is discounted using expected cash flow and estimated and measured using
income approach.
     (5) Impairment of available-for-sale financial assets
     In respect of impairment of available-for-sale financial assets, whether impairment loss shall be recognised in income statement
significantly depends on the judgments and assumptions of the management. While making judgments and assumptions, the
Company shall assess the excess of cost of the investee’s identifiable net assets attributable to the investment over fair value and the
duration.
     (6) Provision for impairment of non-financial non-current assets
     At the balance sheet date, the Company 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.
Where the fair value of an asset or an asset group does not have involved a sale agreement and an active market, the Company shall
engage an expert to determine its fair value in a valuation.
     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 attributable to such assets disposal.
     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 Company 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 Company 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.
     (7) Depreciation and amortisation
     The Company 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 Company 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 Company 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.
     (8) 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 Company’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.
     (9) Income tax
     There are some uncertainties in tax treatment and calculation for some transactions of the Company 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.

(2) Provision for impairment of goodwill

     Description of the test process and parameters for goodwill impairment as well as the recognition method for goodwill
impairment loss:
     On the balance sheet date, the management of the Group assessed the recoverable amount of cash generating unit which results
in goodwill, in order to determine whether to make provision for impairment loss accordingly. The recoverable amount of
cash-generating unit was determined based on the estimated cash flow in the financial budget for the next five years by the
management, relying on the expected annual growth rate in GNP and the expected and steady annual growth rate in the industry by
market players to calculate. Management of the Group expects no provision for impairment loss is necessary to be made for goodwill
during the reporting period.

      ② Particulars of the preference shares as equity instruments
      Shareholders of preference shares participate in profit distribution in two portions, namely the fixed dividend distributed based
on a fixed dividend rate and the distribution of retained earnings realised for the year.
      A. Distribution of fixed dividend
      According to the Articles of Association, the Company shall distribute fixed dividends to holders of the preference shares at
fixed dividend rate if there are distributable profits after making good losses and the contribution to reserve fund according to law.
The Board is authorised by the general meeting to declare and pay all dividends on the preference shares in accordance with the
issuance plan under the framework and principles considered and approved in the general meeting in respect of the preference shares.
The general meeting of the Company has the right to cancel part of or all of the current dividends on the preference shares. However,
when the general meeting of the Company considers the cancellation of part of or all of the current dividends on the preference
shares, the Company shall inform the shareholders of preference shares at least 10 working days before the date of dividend payment
in accordance with the requirements of the related authorities.
      B. Participation in the distribution of retained earnings realised for the year
      Holders of preference shares participate in the distribution of the retained earnings through receipt of cash which is
non-cumulative and non-deferrable. In the event of making good losses and the contribution to reserve fund according to law, after
receiving fixed dividends at fixed dividend rate as agreed, holders of preference shares can also participate in the distribution of the
retained earnings for the year in proportion. Specific terms are as follows: the retained earnings for the year arises from net profit
attributable to owners of the parent company on a consolidated basis upon distribution of relevant fixed income to holders of
financial instruments such as the preference shares which may be classified under equity. 50% of the retained earnings shall be
distributed to holders of preference shares and ordinary shareholders. Holders of preference shares shall participate in the distribution
of the retained earnings by receiving cash dividends, and the ordinary shareholders shall participate in the distribution of the retained
earnings by receiving cash dividends or dividends on ordinary shares.
      Based on the above, the preference shares do not contain any term giving rise to any contractual obligation to deliver cash or
other financial assets to any other entity, or to exchange any financial asset or financial liability with any other entity under potential
adverse circumstances. Consequently, they were eligible to be recognised and accounted for as equity instruments and included under
other equity instruments - preference shares.

2. Level 3 continuous and non-continuous measurement, valuation techniques and qualification and
quantification of key inputs

     Biological assets
     The Company adopts the income method in determining the fair value of its consumable biological assets. Under the income
method, the valuation is arrived at based on the aggregate expected future profit estimates from forest resources discounted to their
present values at an applicable rate which is usually equivalent to yield prevailing in the forestry industry. Key input of the method
includes expected annual income and discount rate.
     Expected annual profit = expected annual income - expected total input
     Expected annual income = expected output x expected sales price
     Expected output = based on normal output of the Company’s logging
     Expected sales price = normal sales price of the Company in 2018
     Expected total input is based on total historic input of saplings growing of the Company up to logging.
     Discount rate is 10.21%, based on the yield prevailing in the industry.
