III Management Discussion and Analysis
I. Principal activities of the Company during the Reporting Period
(I) Overview of the Company’s business during the reporting period
1. Business overview
The Company is a large modern conglomerate principally engaged in pulp production and paper making. Its key
indicators in respect of economic efficiency have been in a leading position in the industry in China for over 20
consecutive years. The Company has been on the Fortune 500 China list for 12 years. Taking “revitalising the
Chinese papermaking industry” as its mission, the Company has been cultivating in depth its principal business
of paper making and leading the development direction of the industry. The Company has committed itself to
implementing a pulp and paper integration strategy, and takes the lead in laying out the entire industrial chain, with
6 production bases in Shandong, Guangdong, Hubei, Jiangxi, Jilin and other places, with annual pulp and paper
production capacity of more than 11 million tonnes. It is the only large-scale pulp and paper integrated company
in China that achieves a balance between pulp and paper production. During the reporting period, the machine-
made paper business was the major source of revenue and profit of the Company, and there was no significant
change in the principal activities of the Company.
As a leading player in the papermaking industry of China, the Company attaches great importance to technology
research and development and brand benefits. It has scientific research institutions including the national

During the reporting period, under the leadership of the Board and the management of the Company, the Group
focused on the development of its principal activities, i.e. pulp production and paper making, stabilised production
and product quality, and carried out joint management for all tasks, thereby achieving overall improvement of the
Company’s operating quality. Meanwhile, as the papermaking industry became more prosperous, the prices of the
Company’s major paper types rose year on year. The cost advantage brought by the strategy of pulp and paper
integration was outstanding, and the Company’s profitability was further enhanced. In the first half of 2021, the
Company completed the production of machine-made paper of 2.83 million tonnes, recorded sales of 2.58 million
tonnes, and achieved revenue of RMB17,173 million, representing a year-on-year increase of 2.91%, 4.45% and

2. Operation model
(1) Purchase model
The Company has established a supply chain management centre which adopts a supply chain
management model of “centralised procurement by the Group, source as the first priority, hierarchical
separation and one-vote veto”. Through continuous improvement of the procurement information system,
the Company has fully realised machine control management, and optimised the authorisation approval
process, effectively establishing a standardised procurement management system. Based on the needs
of production bases, the Group integrates the resources of related parties and implements centralised
procurement. The Company seeks sources and high-quality suppliers through industry exhibitions, on-site
inspections and competitive factory research to strengthen procurement at source and reduce procurement
costs; introduces a supplier competition mechanism by establishing a three-level joint review mechanism for
suppliers and implementing a system of eliminating substandard suppliers, so as to improve supply quality;
and actively optimises raw material pricing against price risks using futures tools, realising futures pricing
benefits. Meanwhile, the Company actively cooperates with financial institutions and third parties in the
supply chain financial business, and fully utilises the funds from contributing parties to lower procurement
costs, deepen strategic cooperation and enhance supply chain competitiveness.
(2) Production model
The Company has committed itself to implementing a pulp and paper integration strategy. Adhering to the
concept of “placing green development and environmental protection as its priority”, the Company has
actively promoted clean production and vigorously carried out energy conservation and emission reduction,
aiming to be a resource-saving and environmentally friendly model enterprise. It is innovating an integrated
use of resources and a circular industrial development mode, and an “ecological chain” featuring resources,
products and recycled resources has been established. As for production process, the Company takes
planned management as the focus and implements a hierarchical planned management model for the
Group, the Company, factories and workshops. Its production volume is determined based on the sales,
its production is arranged scientifically, and its inventories are under strict control. The Group has set up
a production scheduling centre to monitor the operation of the production lines of each subsidiary around
the clock on a real-time basis, so as to ensure normal production. It has actively built and promoted the
MES management system, and realised the timely information transfer between the management and the
production control unit through bridging the gap between the ERP and DCS systems.
(3) Marketing model
The Company has always adhered to the marketing concept of “Good faith, Win-Win and Sharing” while
wholeheartedly serving its customers. The Company has a relatively mature sales network, and has set up
specialised sales companies responsible for the development of domestic and overseas markets, product
sales, and formulation of sales policies. The sales companies’ management systems are divided into product
lines, product companies, management areas, and branches to achieve matrix management. The sales
companies are divided into product companies of cultural paper series, coated paper series, electrostatic
paper series, special paper series and household paper series according to product line. Each product
company has its administrative district. A regional general manager is responsible for his/her administrative
district, under which branch companies are set up. The chief representatives of the branch companies have
full authority to deal with branch business.
The Company has implemented a three-level scheduling mechanism. Branch companies, administrative
districts, and sales companies schedule task indicators daily to ensure the effective implementation of
the plans. It sticks to a “four-level visit mechanism” to gain deep market insights and meet customer
needs. Meanwhile, by leveraging its comprehensive information systems, the Company has realised IT-
based management. It has also established and improved the complaint handling system and customer
satisfaction system to enhance the Company’s marketing management level.

(4) R&D Mode
The Company is market-oriented, and innovation is it driving force. It highly values technological R&D,
and has formed a variety of R&D modes such as independent R&D, technology introduction, and industry-
university-research cooperation. At present, the Company has a number of domestically leading innovative
R&D platforms, including the national enterprise technology centre, the post-doctoral working station,
the state certified CNAS pulp and paper testing centre, Shandong Pulp and Paper Making Engineering
Lab and the Guangdong Pulp and Paper Production Technology Research Centre, which have enhanced
its independent innovation capabilities. Meanwhile, on the basis of introducing internationally advanced
pulp and paper production lines and advanced technologies, the Company has made technological
improvements and re-innovations, and established new standards for processes and product quality,
forming distinctive core technologies. The Company also works hard on the following aspects: carrying
out academic research with colleges and universities and R&D institutions such as Qilu University of
Technology, Qingdao University of Science and Technology, Tianjin University of Science and Technology,
and Institute of Chemical Industry of Forest Products of the Chinese Academy of Forestry, introducing,
digesting and absorbing scientific research and innovation achievements, accelerating the industrialisation
of new and high technologies, optimising product mix, and improving the competitiveness of its products in
the market.
(II) The basic situation of the industry where the Company operated during the reporting period
The paper making industry is one of the basic industries of the national economy. It has the typical characteristics of
large-scale industrial production, such as continuous and efficient operation, and significant economies of scale. The
paper making industry is also vitally interrelated with social and economic development as well as people’s daily life.
Not only is the paper making industry the provider of basic goods and materials, but it also makes a lot of important
materials related to packaging, construction, chemical industry, electronics, energy, transportation, national security
and other fields. The paper making industry plays an irreplaceable role in the national economy. Due to the supply-
side reform, the supply and demand of the paper making industry have been growing at a steady pace in recent years,
creating a relatively stable production and sale environment. The increase in the societal demands, the implementation
of more environmental protection policies, the continuous advances in technology, and the changes in the supply of
resources have resulted in an accelerating reduction of the production capacity of low-end products, the increasing
concentration ratio of the industry, and an improving industrial pattern. According to the 2020 Annual Report of China’s
Paper Industry, in 2020, there were approximately 2,500 companies engaged in the production and paper and paper
board in China, down by 7.41% as compared to last year, while the nationwide paper and paper board production
volume was 112,600,000 tonnes, up by 4.60% as compared to last year. Currently, China’s economy has transformed
from rapid growth to high quality development, and green transformation and development are necessary for high-
quality development. Looking forward, as driven by environmental protection policies, the paper making industry
chain will expand and deepen, and the implementation of forestry, pulp and paper integration will become the major
development trend of the paper making industry.
In the first half of 2021, in the face of a complex and ever changing domestic and external environment, the whole nation
conscientiously implemented the decisions and deployments of the Central Committee of the Communist Party and the
State Council, and continued to consolidate and expand on the basis of the results of epidemic prevention and control
as well as the economic and social development. China’s economy continued to recover steadily, and production
demand continued to rebound, while quality and efficiency had steadily improved, and economic development had
shown a stable and improving trend. The papermaking industry is an important basic raw material industry closely
related to the national economy and social development. During the reporting period, due to the boost of upstream raw
material costs and the recovery of downstream demand, the prosperity of the papermaking industry increased, driving
the price of paper products to rise. At the same time, as the price of pulp continued to rise steadily, the prospects
were good for the large pulp and paper integrated enterprises, and the benefits of the papermaking sector had
increased significantly. According to the data from the National Bureau of Statistics of China, the total profit of industrial
enterprises above designated size in the papermaking and paper product industry from January to June 2021 was
RMB48.430 billion, a year-on-year increase of 77.10%.

to the general keynote of a green, low-carbon, recycling and sustainable development, persistently deepening and
focusing on the development of its principal activities, and vigorously implementing the innovation-driven strategy.
Adhering to the pulp and paper integrated development strategy, the Company had created a layout of three major
production bases, with Shouguang in the north, Huanggang in the middle and Zhanjiang in the south. At present, the
Company has annual pulp and paper production capacity of more than 11 million tonnes, making it the only domestic
paper manufacturer that achieves a balance between paper and pulp production capacity. In the next step, guided by
the national key direction of “adhering to the new development concept and building new development trend at the
new development stage”, the Company will focus on the construction of its production base in Huanggang Chenming
in Hubei to further improve the level of its production base construction. At the same time, the Company will solidly
promote high-quality development, comprehensively improve its corporate management and operational quality,
enhance its corporate anti-risk capabilities, and continuously optimise and improve various performance indicators so

XI. Risk exposures of the Company and the measures to be taken
1. Macroeconomic and policy risk
Paper making industry is a basic raw materials industry, thus is being supported by national industry policies. Over the
years, relevant competent departments issued a series of relevant policies and regulations, including the Policy on the
Development of Papermaking Industry, aiming to improve industry structure, enhance product technology standard,
energy saving and emission reduction, as well as eliminate outdated production capacity. With the continuous economic
development, the policies on papermaking industry may further adjust in the future. In addition, the fiscal and financial
policies, bank interest rate, import and export policy and other policies may be adjusted in the future, which will affect
the operation and development of the Company to a certain extent.
Focusing on its principal operation on pulp production and papermaking, the Company will strive to its innovation-
driven strategy. Centring on improving quality and efficiency, with the in-depth incorporation of smart technology into
industrial activities as main theme, the Company will comprehensively optimise industrial structure and regional layout,
establish coordinated, efficient industry system, and respond to challenges arose by leveraging on its cost advantages,
thus realising steady growth in operating results. At the same time, the Company will strengthen the financial information
system construction, regulate financial management, enhance financing capability, lower capital cost and strengthen its
economic risk aversion capability.
2. Risk of intensifying market competition
As driven by industry policies, environmental protection policies, trade environment and other factors, papermaking
enterprises commence strategic transformation and upgrade, put greater efforts in innovation and research and
development, improve quality and efficiency, and enhance product competitiveness, resulting in intensifying market
competition.
Leveraging its vigorous management and world class equipment and technologies, the Company will continue to
increase the value of Chenming brand, and enhance brand influence. The Company has constructed several high-
end paper production lines, with diversified product structure and full range of products, thus diversifying the market
risk effectively. In addition, the Company develops differentiated products in a timely manner to effectively respond to
market changes. Based on the location of production base, products of the Company have achieved sales in nearby
areas and quick delivery, thus effectively lowering transportation cost, radiating to market network and enhancing
market competitiveness.

III Management Discussion and Analysis
XI. Risk exposures of the Company and the measures to be taken (Cont’d)
3. Risk of price fluctuation of raw materials
Wood pulp and wood clips are the major raw materials of the Company. The market price of wood pulp fluctuates
significantly, while wood clips are heavily dependent on export. If there is a significant fluctuation in prices of raw
materials in the future, the product costs of the Company’s products will be affected, which in turn affects the
performance of the Company.
The Company strives to implement the development strategy of pulp and paper integration. At present, the Company
has 3 large chemical pulp production lines in Shouguang, Zhanjiang and Huanggang. Looking forward, the Company will
focus on the construction of Hubei Huanggang Production Base in Central China, aiming to further optimise the industry
chain of the integrated pulp and paper project of Huanggang Chenming, create the strategic layout of three major
product bases for pulp and paper integration in Shandong, Zhanjiang and Huanggang, fully exploit the advantages
of full industry chain, get rid of the restrictions brought by raw materials on the Company, and strengthen the core
competitiveness of the Company.
4. Environmental protection policy risk
In recent years, China’s environmental protection standards have become stricter. China has successively introduced
and implemented the Law on the Prevention and Control of Environmental Pollution by Solid Waste (revised),
Management Law of Waste Disposal Permit (Draft) and other systems. A higher emission standard is bound to increase
the environmental protection costs in the industry and a high entry standard may result in the slowdown of scale
expansion.
The Company always adheres to the development idea of “placing green development and environmental protection as
its priority”. Starting from the source of production, the Company widely adopts new technologies for energy saving and
emission reduction and strives to achieve its waste emission target. At present, the Company adopts the world’s most
advanced “ultrafiltration membrane + reverse osmosis membrane” technology to complete the reclaimed water recycling
membrane treatment project. The reclaimed water recycle rate reaches more than 75%. The reclaimed water quality
meets drinking water standards, which can save fresh water of 170,000 cubic metres every day. At the same time, the
Company actively explores the comprehensive utilisation of innovative resources and industrial recycling development
models, and built three major circular economy ecological chains of “resources-products-renewable resources”.
5. Risk on financial leasing business
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.
Chenming Leasing has comprehensive risk prevention and control measures for the Company’s financial leasing
business, with strong risk resistance and low risk of default. At present, Financial Leasing Company continues to

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) In recent years, the Company and its subsidiaries have invested more than RMB8 billion to construct the pollution
treatment facilities including the alkali recovery system, middle water treatment system, middle water reuse system,
white water recovery system and black liquor comprehensive utilisation system. The environmental indicators of the
Company rank high in the country and in the world. At present, the Company adopts the world’s most advanced
“ultrafiltration membrane + reverse osmosis membrane” technology to complete the reclaimed water recycling
membrane treatment project. The reclaimed water recycle rate reaches more than 75%. The reclaimed water quality
meets drinking water standards, which can save fresh water every day 170,000 cubic metres.
(3) Each subsidiary’s organised 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 SCR or 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 the national and local execution standards.
Other 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.
Emergency plan for emergency environmental incidents
The Company has strictly implemented emergency regulations for emergency environmental incidents, and formulated various
emergency plans for emergency environmental incidents according to the technical requirements in the “Technical Guidelines
for Emergency Environmental Pollution Accidents”. The plans are reviewed by and filed with the Environmental Protection

Environmental self-monitoring programme
The Company has strictly complied with self-monitoring laws and regulations, and conducted self-monitoring in accordance
with the environmental protection requirements to establish and perfect the corporate environmental management ledgers
and materials. At present, self-monitoring is a combination of manual monitoring and automatic monitoring. At the same time,
qualified units are engaged to conduct regular monitoring. Automatically monitored items include: total wastewater discharge
(COD, ammonia nitrogen, flow rate, total phosphorus, total nitrogen and PH); power plant, alkali recovery boilers and lime
kiln exhaust emissions (sulphur dioxide, nitrogen oxide and smoke). Manually monitored items include: daily monitoring of
COD, ammonia nitrogen, SS, chroma, PH, total phosphorus and total nitrogen indicators. Sewage and other monitoring items,
unorganised exhaust emission, solid waste, and noise at the plant boundary, are monitored on a monthly or quarterly basis by
qualified units engaged in accordance with the local environmental protection requirements in relation to each subsidiary.
The self-monitoring data and environmental monitoring programmes for pollutants discharge of various subsidiaries are
published on the national key pollution source information disclosure website and the provincial key pollution source
information disclosure websites.
Administrative Penalty for environmental problems during the reporting period
On 17 December 2020, the Nanchang Municipal Ecological Environment Bureau, together with the Northern Jiangxi
Commissioner’s Office and the Environmental Information Center, inspected the wastewater station of Jiangxi Chenming
Paper Co., Ltd. and found that there were some online equipment operation and maintenance and management irregularities,
including pasting the operation passwords of wastewater online monitoring equipment on the wall. Although the normal
operation of the monitoring equipment was not guaranteed, no environmental pollution was caused as a result. Hence Jiangxi

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 combination under common control
A business combination involving enterprises under common control is a business combination in which all of the
combining enterprises are ultimately controlled by the same party or parties before and after the combination,
and that control is not transitory. The party that, on the combination date, obtains control of another enterprise
participating in the combination is the absorbing party, while that other enterprise participating in the combination
is a party being absorbed. The combination date is the date on which 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.

(Cont’d)
(2) Business combination not under common control (Cont’d)
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 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”. 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. 17 “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:

(Cont’d)
(2) Business combination not under common control (Cont’d)
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 remeasuring 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 remeasuring
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) Scope of consolidation
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. A subsidiary is an entity controlled by the Company (including an enterprise, a separable part of an
investee, a structured entity, etc.).
(2) Basis for preparation of the consolidated financial statements
The consolidated financial statements are prepared by the Company based on the financial statements of the
Company and its subsidiaries and other relevant information. In preparing the consolidated financial statements,
the accounting policies and accounting periods of the Company and its subsidiaries shall be consistent, and intra-
company significant transactions and balances are eliminated.
A subsidiary and its business acquired through a business combination involving entities under common control
during the reporting period shall be included in the scope of the consolidation of the Company from the date
of being controlled by the ultimate controlling party, and its operating results and cash flows from the date of
being controlled by the ultimate controlling party are included in the consolidated income statement and the
consolidated cash flow statement, respectively.

6. Preparation of consolidated financial statements (Cont’d)
(2) Basis for preparation of the consolidated financial statements (Cont’d)
For a subsidiary and its business acquired through a business combination involving entities not under common
control during the reporting period, its income, expenses and profits are included in the consolidated income
statement, and cash flows are included in the consolidated cash flow statement from the acquisition date to the
end of the reporting period.
The shareholders’ equity of the subsidiaries that is not attributable to the Company is presented under
shareholders’ equity in the consolidated balance sheet as minority interest. 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.
(3) Accounting treatment for loss of control over subsidiaries
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 disposal of equity interest and the fair value of remaining equity interest
over the sun of the share of the carrying amount of net assets of the former subsidiary calculated continuously
from the purchase date based on the shareholding percentage before disposal and the goodwill is recognised as
investment income in the period when the control is lost.
Other comprehensive income related to equity investment in the former subsidiary shall be transferred to current
profit or loss at the time when the control is lost, except for other comprehensive income arising from changes in
net assets or net liabilities due to remeasurement of defined benefit plan by the investee.
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. The joint arrangements of the
Group comprise joint operations and joint ventures.
(1) Joint operations
Joint operations refer to a joint arrangement during which the Group is entitled to relevant assets and obligations
of this arrangement.
The Group recognises the following items in relation to its interest in a joint operation and accounts for them in
accordance with the relevant ASBEs:
A. the assets held solely by it and assets held jointly according to its share;
B. the liabilities assumed solely by it and liabilities assumed jointly according to its share;
C. the revenue from sale of output from joint operations;

arrangement.
The Group accounts for its investments in joint ventures in accordance with the requirements relating to
accounting treatment using equity method for long-term equity investments.
8. Standards for recognising cash and cash equivalents
Cash refers to cash on hand and deposits readily available for payment purpose. Cash equivalents refer to short-term
and highly liquid investments held by the Group 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) Foreign currency operations
The foreign currency operations of the Group are translated into the functional currency at the prevailing spot
exchange rate on the date of exchange, i.e. usually the middle price of RMB exchange rate published by the
People’s Bank of China on that date in general and the same hereinafter.
On the balance sheet date, foreign currency monetary items shall be translated at the spot exchange rate on
the balance sheet date. The exchange difference arising from the difference between the spot exchange rate
on the balance sheet date and the spot exchange rate upon initial recognition or the last balance sheet date will
be recognised in profit or loss for the 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 recognised in profit or loss for the period.

owner’s equity items except for “retained profit” are translated at the spot exchange rates at the dates on which
such items arose.
Income and expenses items in the income statement are translated at the average exchange rate for the period in
which the transaction occurred.
All items in the cash flow statements shall be translated at the average exchange rate for the period in which
the cash flow transaction occurred. Effects arising from changes of exchange rate on cash shall be presented
separately as the “effect of foreign exchange rate changes on cash and cash equivalents” item in the cash flow
statements.
The differences arising from translation of financial statements shall be included in the “other comprehensive
income” item in owners’ equity in the balance sheet.
On disposal of foreign operations and loss of control, exchange differences arising from the translation of financial
statements denominated in foreign currencies related to the disposed foreign 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.
10. Financial instruments
A financial instrument is a contract that gives rise to a financial asset of one party and a financial liability or equity
instrument of another party.
(1) Recognition and derecognition of financial instruments
Financial asset or financial liability will be recognised when the Group became one of the parties under a financial
instrument contract.
Financial asset that satisfied any of the following criteria shall be derecognised:
the contract right to receive the cash flows of the financial asset has terminated;
the financial asset has been transferred and meets the derecognition criteria for the transfer of financial
asset as described below.
A financial liability (or a part thereof) is derecognised only when the present obligation is discharged in full or
in part. If an agreement is entered between the Group (debtor) and a creditor to replace the existing financial
liabilities with new financial liabilities, and the contractual terms of the new financial liabilities are substantially
different from those of the existing financial liabilities, the existing financial liabilities shall be derecognised and the
new financial liabilities shall be recognised.
Conventionally traded financial assets shall be recognised and derecognised at the trading date.

(2) Classification and measurement of financial assets
The Group classifies the financial assets according to the business model for managing the financial assets and
characteristics of the contractual cash flows as follows: financial assets measured at amortised cost, financial
assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income, and financial assets measured at fair value
through profit or loss.
Financial assets measured at amortised cost
A financial asset is measured at amortised cost if it meets both of the following conditions and is not designated
at fair value through other comprehensive income:
The Group’s business model for managing such financial assets is to collect contractual cash flows;
The contractual terms of the financial asset stipulate that cash flows generated on specific dates are solely
payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.
Subsequent to initial recognition, such financial assets are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest
method. A gain or loss on a financial asset that is measured at amortised cost and is not part of a hedging
relationship shall be recognised in profit or loss for the current period when the financial asset is derecognised,
amortised using the effective interest method or with impairment recognised.
Financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income
A financial asset is classified as measured at fair value through other comprehensive income if it meets both of the
following conditions and is not designated at fair value through profit or loss:
The Group’s business model for managing such financial assets is achieved both by collecting collect contractual
cash flows and selling such financial assets;
The contractual terms of the financial asset stipulate that cash flows generated on specific dates are solely
payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.
Subsequent to initial recognition, such financial assets are subsequently measured at fair value. Interest calculated
using the effective interest method, impairment losses or gains and foreign exchange gains and losses are
recognised in profit or loss for the current period, and other gains or losses are recognised in other comprehensive
income. On derecognition, the cumulative gain or loss previously recognised in other comprehensive income is
reclassified from other comprehensive income to profit or loss.

(2) Classification and measurement of financial assets (Cont’d)
Financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss
The Group classifies the financial assets other than those measured at amortised cost and measured at fair value
through other comprehensive income as financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss. Upon
initial recognition, the Group irrevocably designates certain financial assets that are required to be measured at
amortised cost or at fair value through other comprehensive income as financial assets measured at fair value
through profit or loss in order to eliminate or significantly reduce accounting mismatch.
Upon initial recognition, such financial assets are measured at fair value. Except for those held for hedging
purposes, gains or losses (including interests and dividend income) arising from such financial assets are
recognised in the profit or loss for the current period.
The business model for managing financial assets refers to how the Group manages its financial assets in order to
generate cash flows. That is, the Group’s business model determines whether cash flows will result from collecting
contractual cash flows, selling financial assets or both. The Group determines the business model for managing
financial assets on the basis of objective facts and specific business objectives for managing financial assets
determined by key management personnel.
The Group assesses the characteristics of the contractual cash flows of financial assets to determine whether
the contractual cash flows generated by the relevant financial assets on a specific date are solely payments of
principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding. The principal refers to the fair value of the financial
assets at the initial recognition. Interest includes consideration for the time value of money, for the credit risk
associated with the principal amount outstanding during a particular period of time and for other basic lending
risks, costs and profits. In addition, the Group evaluates the contractual terms that may result in a change in the
time distribution or amount of contractual cash flows from a financial asset to determine whether it meets the
requirements of the above contractual cash flow characteristics.
All affected financial assets are reclassified on the first day of the first reporting period following the change in the
business model where the Group changes its business model for managing financial assets; otherwise, financial
assets shall not be reclassified after initial recognition.
Financial assets are measured at fair value upon initial recognition. For financial assets measured at fair value
through profit or loss, relevant transaction costs are directly recognised in profit or loss for the current period.
For other categories of financial assets, relevant transaction costs are included in the amount initially recognised.
Accounts receivable or notes receivable arising from sales of goods or rendering services, without significant
financing component are initially recognised based on the transaction price expected to be entitled by the Group.

(3) Classification and measurement of financial liabilities
At initial recognition, financial liabilities of the Group are classified as financial liabilities measured at fair value
through profit or loss and financial liabilities measured at amortised cost. For financial liabilities not classified
as measured at fair value through profit or loss, relevant transaction costs are included in the amount initially
recognised.
Financial liabilities measured at fair value through profit or loss
Financial liabilities measured at fair value through profit or loss comprise held-for-trading financial liabilities and
financial liabilities designated at fair value through profit or loss upon initial recognition. Such financial liabilities
are subsequently measured at fair value, and the gains or losses from the change in fair value and the dividend or
interest expenses related to the financial liabilities are included in the profit or loss of the current period.
Financial liabilities measured at amortised cost
Other financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method,
and the gains or losses arising from derecognition or amortisation are recognised in profit or loss for the current
period.
Classification between financial liabilities and equity instruments
A financial liability is a liability if:
it has a contractual obligation to pay in cash or other financial assets to other parties.
it has a contractual obligation to exchange financial assets or financial liabilities under potential adverse
condition with other parties.
it is a non-derivative instrument contract which will or may be settled with the entity’s own equity
instruments, and the entity will deliver a variable number of its own equity instruments according to such
contract.
it is a derivative instrument contract which will or may be settled with the entity’s own equity instruments,
except for a derivative instrument contract that exchanges a fixed amount of cash or other financial asset
with a fixed number of its own equity instruments.

(3) Classification and measurement of financial liabilities (Cont’d)
Classification between financial liabilities and equity instruments (Cont’d)
Equity instruments are any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of an entity after deducting all
of its liabilities.
If the Group cannot unconditionally avoid the performance of a contractual obligation by paying cash or delivering
other financial assets, the contractual obligation meets the definition of financial liabilities.
Where a financial instrument must or may be settled with the Group’s own equity instruments, the Group’s own
equity instruments used to settle such instrument should be considered as to whether it is as a substitute for cash
or other financial assets or for the purpose of enabling the holder of the instrument to be entitled to the remaining
interest in the assets of the issuer after deducting all of its liabilities. For the former, it is a financial liability of the
Group; for the latter, it is the Group’s own equity instruments.
(4) Derivative financial instruments
The Group’s derivative financial instruments are mainly forward foreign exchange contracts, which are initially
recognised at fair value on the date a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently measured at their
fair value. A derivative financial instrument is recognised as an asset when the fair value is positive and as a
liability when the fair value is negative. Any gain or loss arising from changes in fair value and not complying with
the accounting requirements on hedging shall be recognised in profit or loss for current period.
(5) Fair value of financial instruments
The methods for determining the fair value of the financial assets or financial liabilities are set out in Note V. 40.
(6) Impairment of financial assets
The Group makes provision for impairment based on expected credit losses (ECLs) on the following items:
Financial assets measured at amortised cost;
Debt investments measured at fair value through other comprehensive income;

Measurement of ECLs
ECLs are the weighted average of credit losses of financial instruments weighted by the risk of default. Credit
losses refer to the difference between all contractual cash flows receivable according to the contract and
discounted according to the original effective interest rate and all cash flows expected to be received, i.e. the
present value of all cash shortages.
The Group takes into account reasonable and well-founded information such as past events, current conditions
and forecasts of future economic conditions, and calculates the probability-weighted amount of the present value
of the difference between the cash flows receivable from the contract and the cash flows expected to be received
weighted by the risk of default.
The Group measures ECLs of financial instruments at different stages. If the credit risk of the financial instrument
did not increase significantly upon initial recognition, it is at the first stage, and the Group makes provision for
impairment based on the ECLs within the next 12 months; if the credit risk of a financial instrument increased
significantly upon initial recognition but has not yet incurred credit impairment, it is at the second stage, and the
Group makes provision for impairment based on the lifetime ECLs of the instrument; if the financial instrument
incurred credit impairment upon initial recognition, it is at the third stage, and the Group makes provision for
impairment based on the lifetime ECLs of the instrument.
For financial instruments with low credit risk on the balance sheet date, the Group assumes that the credit risk did
not increase significantly upon initial recognition, and makes provision for impairment based on the ECLs within
the next 12 months.
Lifetime ECLs represent the ECLs resulting from all possible default events over the expected life of a financial
instrument. The 12-month ECLs are the ECLs resulting from possible default events on a financial instrument
within 12 months (or a shorter period if the expected life of the financial instrument is less than 12 months) after
the balance sheet date, and is a portion of lifetime ECLs.
The maximum period to be considered when estimating ECLs is the maximum contractual period over which the
Group is exposed to credit risk, including renewal options.
For the financial instruments at the first and second stages and with low credit risks, the Group calculates the
interest income based on the book balance and the effective interest rate before deducting the impairment
provisions. For financial instruments at the third stage, interest income is calculated based on the amortised cost
after deducting impairment provisions made from the book balance and the effective interest rate.
For bills receivable, accounts receivable and contract assets, regardless of whether there is a significant financing
component, the Group always makes provision for impairment at an amount equal to lifetime ECLs.

Measurement of ECLs (Cont’d)
When the Group is unable to assess the information of ECLs for an individual financial asset at a reasonable cost,
it classifies bills receivable and accounts receivable into portfolios based on the credit risk characteristics, and
calculates the ECLs on a portfolio basis. The basis for determining the portfolios is as follows:
A. Bills receivable
Bills receivable portfolio 1: Bank acceptance bills
Bills receivable portfolio 2: Commercial acceptance bills
B. Accounts receivable
Accounts receivable portfolio 1: Factoring receivables
Accounts receivable portfolio 2: Receivables from non-related party customers
Accounts receivable portfolio 3: Due from related party customers
For bills receivable classified as a portfolio, the Group refers to the historical credit loss experience, combined
with the current situation and the forecast of future economic conditions, to calculate the ECLs based on default
risk exposure and lifetime ECL rate.
For accounts receivable classified as a portfolio, the Group refers to the historical credit loss experience,
combined with the current situation and the forecast of future economic conditions, to prepare a comparison table
of the ageing/overdue days of accounts receivable and the lifetime ECL rate to calculate the ECLs.
Other receivables
The Group classifies other receivables into portfolios based on credit risk characteristics, and calculates the ECLs
on a portfolio basis. The basis for determining the portfolios is as follows:
Other receivables portfolio 1: Amount due from government authorities
Other receivables portfolio 2: Amount due from related parties
Other receivables portfolio 3: Other receivables
For other receivables classified as a portfolio, the Group calculates the ECLs based on default risk exposure and
the ECL rate over the next 12 months or the entire lifetime.

Long-term receivables
The Group’s long-term receivables include finance lease receivables and deposits receivable.
The Group classifies the finance lease receivables, deposits receivable and other receivables into portfolios based
on the credit risk characteristics, and calculates the ECLs on a portfolio basis. The basis for determining the
portfolios is as follows:
A. Finance lease receivables
Finance lease receivables portfolio 1: Receivables not past due
Finance lease receivables portfolio 2: Overdue receivables
B. Other long-term receivables
Other long-term receivables portfolio 1: Deposits receivable
Other long-term receivables portfolio 2: Other receivables
For deposits receivable and other receivables, the Group refers to the historical credit loss experience, combined
with the current situation and the forecast of future economic conditions, and calculates the ECLs based on
default risk exposure and lifetime ECL rate.
Except for those of finance lease receivables and deposits receivable, the ECLs of other receivables and long-
term receivables classified as a portfolio are measured based on default risk exposure and ECL rate over the next
12 months or the entire lifetime.
Debt investments and other debt investments
For debt investments and other debt investments, the Group measures the ECLs based on the nature of the
investment, the types of counterparty and risk exposure, and default risk exposure and ECL rate within the next
12 months or the entire lifetime.

Assessment of significant increase in credit risk
In assessing whether the credit risk of a financial instrument has increased significantly upon initial recognition,
the Group compares the risk of default of the financial instrument at the balance sheet date with that at the date
of initial recognition to determine the relative change in risk of default within the expected lifetime of the financial
instrument.
In determining whether the credit risk has increased significantly upon initial recognition, the Group considers
reasonable and well-founded information, including forward-looking information, which can be obtained without
unnecessary extra costs or efforts. Information considered by the Group includes:
The debtor’s failure to make payments of principal and interest on their contractually due dates;
An actual or expected significant deterioration in a financial instrument’s external or internal credit rating (if any);
An actual or expected significant deterioration in the operating results of the debtor;
Existing or expected changes in the technological, market, economic or legal environment that have a significant
adverse effect on the debtor’s ability to meet its obligation to the Group.
Depending on the nature of the financial instruments, the Group assesses whether there has been a significant
increase in credit risk on either an individual basis or a collective basis. When the assessment is performed on a
collective basis, the financial instruments are grouped based on their common credit risk characteristics, such as
past due information and credit risk ratings.
The Group determines that the credit risk on a financial asset has increased significantly if it is more than 30 days
past due.
Credit-impaired financial assets
At balance sheet date, the Group assesses whether financial assets measured at amortised cost and debt
investments measured at fair value through other comprehensive income are credit-impaired. A financial asset is
credit-impaired when one or more events that have an adverse effect on the estimated future cash flows of the
financial asset have occurred. Evidence that a financial asset is credit-impaired includes the following observable
events:
Significant financial difficulty of the issuer or debtor;
A breach of contract by the debtor, such as a default or delinquency in interest or principal payments;
For economic or contractual reasons relating to the debtor’s financial difficulty, the Group having granted to the
debtor a concession that would not otherwise consider;
It becoming probable that the debtor will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganisation;
The disappearance of an active market for that financial asset because of financial difficulties of the issuer or

(6) Impairment of financial assets (Cont’d)
Presentation of provisions for ECLs
ECLs are remeasured at each balance sheet date to reflect changes in the financial instrument’s credit risk upon
initial recognition. Any change in the ECL amount is recognised as an impairment gain or loss in profit or loss for
the current period. For financial assets measured at amortised cost, the provisions of impairment is deducted
from the carrying amount of the financial assets presented in the balance sheet; for debt investments at fair value
through other comprehensive income, the Group makes provisions of impairment in other comprehensive income
without reducing the carrying amount of the financial asset.
Write-offs
The book balance of a financial asset is directly written off to the extent that there is no realistic prospect of
recovery of the contractual cash flows of the financial asset (either partially or in full). Such write-off constitutes
derecognition of such financial asset. This is generally the case when the Group determines that the debtor does
not have assets or sources of income that could generate sufficient cash flows to repay the amounts subject to
the write-off. However, financial assets that are written off could still be subject to enforcement activities in order
to comply with the Group’s procedures for recovery of amounts due.
If a write-off of financial assets is subsequently recovered, the recovery is credited to profit or loss in the period in
which the recovery occurs.
(7) Transfer of financial assets
Transfer of financial assets refers to the transfer or delivery of financial assets to another party other than the
issuer of such financial assets (the transferee).
If the Group transfers substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset to the transferee,
the financial asset shall be derecognised. If the Group retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership
of a financial asset, the financial asset shall not be derecognised.
If the Group neither transfers nor retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset,
it accounts for the transaction as follows: if the Group does not retain control, it derecognises the financial asset
and recognises any resulting assets or liabilities; if the control over the financial asset is not waived, the relevant
financial asset is recognised according to the extent of its continuing involvement in the transferred financial asset
and the relevant liability is recognised accordingly.
(8) Offset of financial assets and financial liabilities
If the Group owns the legitimate rights of offsetting the recognised financial assets and financial liabilities, which
are enforceable currently, and the Group plans to realise the financial assets or to clear off the financial liabilities
on a net amount basis or simultaneously, the net amount of financial assets and financial liabilities shall be
presented in the balance sheet upon offsetting. Otherwise, financial assets and financial liabilities are presented
separately in the balance sheet without offsetting.

11. Bills receivable
Method for determining the ECLs of bills receivable
The Company measures the loss provisions for bills receivable in accordance with the ECLs amount for the entire
period. Based on the credit risk characteristics of bills receivable, bills receivable are divided into different groups:
Item Basis for determining the groups
Bank acceptance bills The acceptance party is a bank with less credit risk
Commercial acceptance bills The acceptance party is a company with higher credit risk
12. Accounts receivable
Method for determining the ECLs of accounts receivable
For receivables and contract assets that do not contain significant financing components, the Company measures loss
provisions based on the ECL amount for the entire period.
For receivables, contract assets and lease receivables that contain significant financing components, the Company
chooses to always measure the loss provision based on the ECL amount for the entire period.
In addition to accounts receivable and contract assets which are individually assessed for credit risk, they are also
classified into different groups based on their credit risk characteristics:
Item Basis for determining the groups
Amount due from related parties This group comprises amounts due from related parties with lower risks.
Factoring receivables This group comprises factoring receivables with special risks.
Amount due from distributor
customers This group comprises receivables with their ageing as credit risk characteristics.

As for notes receivable and Accounts receivable that classified as measured at fair value through other
comprehensive income, the portion within one year (inclusive) from the date of acquisition is presented
as financing receivables. For relevant accounting policies, please refer to note V. 10. Financial instruments.
14. Other receivables
Determination and accounting treatment of ECLs of other receivables
The Company measures impairment losses using the ECL amount in the next 12 months or the entire duration, based
on whether the credit risk of other receivables has increased significantly upon initial recognition. In addition to other
receivables which are individually assessed for credit risk, they are also classified into different groups based on their
credit risk characteristics:
Item Basis for determining the groups
Dividends receivable This group comprises dividends receivable.
Interest receivable This group comprises interest due from financial institutions.
Amount due from government This group comprises amount due from government agencies with less risks.

Amount due from related parties This group comprises amount due from related parties with less risks.
Other receivables This group comprises for all types of deposits, advances and premiums receivable

15. Inventories
(1) Classification of inventories
Inventories of the Group mainly include raw materials, work in progress, goods in stock, development products
and consumable biological assets, etc.
(2) Pricing of inventories dispatched
Inventories of the Group are measured at their actual cost when obtained. Cost of raw materials, goods in stock
and others will be calculated with weighted average method when being dispatched.
Consumable biological assets refer to biological assets held-for-sale which include growing timber. Consumable
biological assets without a stock are stated at historical 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 stock volume proportion method.

(3) Recognition of net realisable value of inventories and provision for inventory impairment
Net realisable value of inventories refers to the amount of the estimated price of inventories less the estimated
cost incurred upon completion, estimated sales expenses and taxes and levies. 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, provision for inventory impairment is made when the cost is higher than the net
realisable value. The Group usually make provision for inventory impairment based on categories of inventories. At
the balance sheet date, in case the factors causing inventory impairment no longer exists, the original provision for
inventory impairment shall be reversed.
(4) Inventory stock taking system
The Group implements permanent inventory system as its inventory stock taking system.
(5) Amortisation of low-value consumables and packaging materials
The low-value consumables of the Group are amortised when issued for use.
Packaging materials for turnover are amortised when issued for use.
16. Contract assets
Contract assets are the Company’s right to consideration in exchange for goods that the Company has transferred to
customers when that right is conditioned on something other than the passage of time. The Company’s unconditional
right to receive consideration from customers (only the passage of time is required) is accounted for as accounts
receivable.
The methods for determination and accounting treatment of the ECLs on contract assets are detailed in Note V. 10
Financial instruments.
17. Contract costs
Contract costs are either the incremental costs of obtaining a contract with a customer or the costs to fulfil a contract
with a customer.
Incremental costs of obtaining a contract are those costs that the Company incurs to obtain a contract with a customer
that it would not have incurred if the contract had not been obtained e.g. an incremental sales commission. The
Company recognises as an asset the incremental costs of obtaining a contract with a customer if it expects to recover
those costs. Other costs of obtaining a contract are expensed when incurred.
If the costs to fulfil a contract with a customer are not within the scope of inventories or other accounting standards,
the Company recognises an asset from the costs incurred to fulfil a contract only if those costs meet all of the following
criteria:
the costs relate directly to an existing contract or to a specifically identifiable anticipated contract, including direct
labour, direct materials, allocations of overheads (or similar costs), costs that are explicitly chargeable to the
customer and other costs that are incurred only because the Group entered into the contract;
the costs generate or enhance resources of the Company that will be used in satisfying (or in continuing to satisfy)
performance obligations in the future;
the costs are expected to be recovered.

17. Contract costs (Cont’d)
Assets recognised for the incremental costs of obtaining a contract and assets recognised for the costs to fulfil a
contract (the “assets related to contract costs”) are amortised on a systematic basis that is consistent with the transfer
to the customer of the goods or services to which the assets relate and recognised in profit or loss for the current
period. An expense is recognised when incurred if the amortisation period is less than one year.
The Company recognises an impairment loss in profit or loss to the extent that the carrying amount of an asset related
to contract costs exceeds:
remaining amount of consideration that the Company expects to receive in exchange for the goods or services to
which the asset relates;
the cost estimated to be happened for the transfer of related goods or services.
The costs of contract performance recognised as assets, if the amortisation period is less than one year or a normal
operating cycle upon the initial recognition, are presented as “Inventories” item, and if the amortisation period is more
than one year or a normal operating cycle upon the initial recognition, are presented as “Other non-current assets” item.
The contract obtaining costs recognised as assets, if the amortisation period is less than one year or a normal operating
cycle upon the initial recognition, are presented as “Other current assets” item, and if the amortisation period is more
than one year or a normal operating cycle upon the initial recognition, are presented as “Other non-current assets” item.
18. Held for sale
A non-current asset or disposal group is classified as held for sale if its carrying amount will be recovered principally
through a sale transaction (including a non-monetary asset exchange with commercial substance) rather than through
continuing use.
The aforesaid non-current asset does not include the investment property subsequently measured at fair value, the
biological assets measured at the net amount of the fair value deducting the sales expense, the assets generated from
remuneration, financial assets, deferred income tax assets and rights from insurance contract.
A disposal group is a group of assets to be disposed of together as a whole by sale or other means in a transaction, and
liabilities directly associated with those assets that will be transferred in the transaction. In certain circumstances, the
disposal group includes the goodwill acquired in the business combination.
A non-current asset or a disposal group is classified as held for sale if it meets all of the following conditions: the non-
current asset or disposal group is available for immediate sale in its present condition subject only to terms that are
usual and customary for sales of such asset or disposal group; the sale is highly probable, i.e. a sale plan has been
resolved and a firm purchase commitment has been obtained, and the sale is expected to be completed within one year.
When the Group loses control of a subsidiary due to reasons such as disposal of investment in a subsidiary, regardless
of whether the Group retains part of the equity investment after the disposal, when the investment in a subsidiary
intended to be disposed of meets the conditions for classification as held for sale, the investment in a subsidiary is
classified as held for sale as a whole in the separate financial statements, and all assets and liabilities of the subsidiary
are classified as held for sale in the consolidated financial statements.
When the non-current assets or disposal groups held for sale are initially measured or remeasured at the balance sheet
date, the excess of the carrying amount over the net amount of the fair value less selling expenses is recognised as
asset impairment loss. For the amount of impairment loss recognised on disposal groups held for sale, the carrying
amount of the goodwill of the disposal group shall be offset against first, and then be offset against the carrying amount
of non-current assets according to the proportion of the carrying amount of non-current assets.

If the net amount of the fair value of the non-current assets or disposal groups held for sale less the selling expenses
increases on the subsequent balance sheet date, the amount previously written down shall be recovered and reversed
in the amount of asset impairment loss recognised after be classified as held for sale, and the reversed amount shall be
included in the current profit and loss. The carrying amount of goodwill written off shall not be reversed.
Non-current assets held for sale and assets in disposal group held for sale are not depreciated or amortised. Interest
and other expenses of a disposal group classified as held for sale continue to be recognised. For all or part of an
investment in an associate or a joint venture that is classified as held for sale, the part of being classified as held for sale
shall cease to be accounted for using the equity method, while any retained portion (not classified as held for sale) shall
continue to be accounted for using the equity method; The Group ceases to use the equity method from the date when
the Group ceases to have significant influence over an associate or a joint venture.
If a non-current asset or disposal group is classified as held for sale but subsequently no longer meets the criteria for
being classified as held for sale, the Group shall cease to classify it as held for sale and measure it at the lower of:
(1) the carrying amount of the asset or disposal group before being classified as held for sale is adjusted by the
depreciation, amortisation or impairment that would have been recognised if the asset or disposal group had not
been classified as held for sale;
(2) recoverable amount.
19. Long-term receivables
The Company measures the impairment loss of long-term receivables at an amount equal to the ECLs in the next 12
months or the lifetime ECLs, depending on whether its credit risk has significantly increased upon initial recognition.
Other than the long-term receivables assessed individually for credit risks, long-term receivables are classified into
different groups based on their credit risk characteristics:
Item Basis for determining the groups
Long-term receivables The group is comprised of long-term receivables not yet past due with normal
not yet past due exposures.
Long-term receivables overdue This group is comprised of long-term receivables with higher past due exposures.

20. Long-term equity investments
Long-term equity investments include the equity investments in subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates. Associates
of the Group are those investees that the Group imposes significant influence over.
(1) Determination of initial investment cost
Long-term equity investments acquired through business combinations: for a long-term equity investment
acquired through a business combination involving enterprises under common control, the investment cost shall
be the absorbing party’s share of the carrying amount of the owners’ equity under the consolidated financial
statements of the ultimate controlling party on the date of combination. For a long-term equity investment
acquired through a business combination involving enterprises not under common control, the investment cost of
the long-term equity investment shall be the cost of combination.
Long-term equity investments acquired through other means: for a long-term equity investment acquired by cash
payment, the initial investment cost shall be the purchase cost actually paid; for a long-term equity investment
acquired by issuing equity securities, the initial investment cost shall be the fair value of equity securities issued.
(2) Subsequent measurement and method for profit or loss recognition
Investments in subsidiaries shall be accounted for using the cost method. Except for the investments which meet
the conditions of holding for sale, investments in associates and joint ventures shall be accounted for using the
equity method.
For a long-term equity investment accounted for using the cost method, the cash dividends or profits declared by
the investees for distribution shall be recognised as investment gains and included in profit or loss for the current
period, except the case of 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.
For a long-term equity investment accounted for using the equity method, where the initial investment cost
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 investment cost of the long-term equity investment. 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, adjustment shall be made to the carrying amount of the long-term equity investment, and the difference shall
be charged to profit or loss for the current period.
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 Group’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 (other capital reserves). The Group shall recognise its share of the investee’s net profits or
losses based on the fair values of the investee’s individual separately identifiable assets at the time of acquisition,
after making appropriate adjustments thereto according to the accounting policies and accounting periods of the
Group.

(2) Subsequent measurement and method for profit or loss recognition (Cont’d)
For additional equity investment made in order to obtain significant influence or common control over investee
without resulted in control, the initial investment cost under the equity method shall be the aggregate of fair
value of previously held equity investment and additional investment cost on the date of transfer. The difference
between the fair value and carrying amount of previously held equity investment on the date of transfer and the
accumulated change in fair value originally included in other comprehensive income shall be recognised in the
profit or loss for the current period under the equity method.
In the event of loss of common control or significant influence over investee due to partial disposal of equity
investment, the remaining equity interest after disposal shall be accounted for according to the Accounting
Standard for Business Enterprises No. 22 – Recognition and measurement of Financial Instruments. The difference
between its fair value and carrying amount 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 related to the
previous equity investment shall be transferred to profit or loss for the current period.
In the event of loss of control over investee due to partial disposal of equity investment, 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 Accounting Standard for Business Enterprises No. 22 – Recognition and measurement 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.
If the shareholding ratio of the Group is reduced due to the capital increase of other investors, and as a result,
the Company loses the control of but still can apply common control or impose significant influence over the
investee, the net asset increase due to the capital increase of the investee attributable to the Company shall be
recognised according to the new shareholding ratio, and the difference with the original carrying amount of the
long-term equity investment corresponding to the shareholding ratio reduction part that should be carried forward
shall be recorded in the profit or loss for the current period; and then it shall be adjusted according to the new
shareholding ratio as if equity method is used for accounting when acquiring the investment.
In respect of the transactions between the Group and its associates and joint ventures, the share of unrealised
gain or loss arising from internal transactions shall be eliminated by the portion attributable to the Group.
Investment gain shall be recognised accordingly. However, any unrealised loss arising from internal transactions
between the Group and an investee is not eliminated to the extent that the loss is impairment loss of the
transferred assets.

(3) Basis for determining the common control and significant influence on the investee
Common control is the 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. When determining
if there is any common control, it should first be identified if the arrangement is controlled by all the participants
or the group consisting of the participants, and then determined if the decision on the arranged activity can be
made only with the unanimous consent of the participants sharing the control. If all the participants or a group
of participants can only decide the relevant activities of certain arrangement through concerted action, it can
be considered that all the participants or a group of participants share common control on the arrangement. If
there are two or more participant groups that can collectively control certain arrangement, it does not constitute
common control. When determining if there is any common control, the relevant protection rights will not be taken
into account.
Significant influence is the power of the investor 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. When
determining if there is any significant influence on the investee, the influence of the voting shares of the investee
held by the investor directly and indirectly and the potential voting rights held by the investor and other parties
which are exercisable in the current period and converted to the equity of the investee, including the warrants,
stock options and convertible bonds that are issued by the investee and can be converted in the current period,
shall be taken into account.
When the Group holds directly or indirectly through the subsidiary 20% (inclusive) to 50% of the voting shares
of the investee, it is generally considered to have significant influence on the investee, unless there is concrete
evidence to prove that it cannot participate in the production and operation decision-making of the investee and
cannot pose significant influence in this situation. When the Group owns less than 20% of the voting shares of the
investee, it is generally considered that it has not significantly influenced on the investee, unless there is concrete
evidence to prove that it can participate in the production and operation decision-making of the investee and
cannot pose significant influence in this situation.
(4) Method for impairment test and measurement of impairment provision
For the method for making impairment provision for the investment in subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures,
please refer to Note V. 27.
21. Investment property
Investment property refers to real estate held to earn rentals or for capital appreciation, or both. The investment property
of the Group includes leased land use rights, land use rights held for sale after appreciation, and leased buildings.
The investment property of the Group is measured initially at cost upon acquisition, and subject to depreciation or
amortisation in the relevant periods according to the relevant provisions on fixed assets or intangible assets.
For the method for making impairment provision for the investment property adopted cost method for subsequent
measurement, please refer to Note V. 27.
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.

22. Fixed assets
(1) Conditions for recognition
Fixed assets of the Group 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 of the Group shall be initially measured at actual cost when
acquired.
(2) Depreciation method
Useful lives of Estimated Annual
depreciation residual value depreciation
Category Depreciation method (Year) (%) rate (%)
Housing and building structure Straight-line method 20-40 5-10 2.25-4.75
Machinery and equipment Straight-line method 8-20 5-10 4.50-11.88
Transportation equipment Straight-line method 5-8 5-10 11.25-19.00
Electronic equipment and others Straight-line method 5 5-10 18.00-19.00
The Group adopts the straight-line method for depreciation. Provision for depreciation will be started when the
fixed asset reaches its expected usable state, and stopped when the fixed asset is derecognised or classified
as a non-current asset held for sale. Without regard to the depreciation provision, the Group determines the
depreciation rate by category, estimated useful lives and estimated residual value of the fixed assets. Where, for
the fixed assets for which depreciation provision is made, to determine the depreciation rate, the accumulated
amount of the fixed asset depreciation provision that has been made shall be deducted.
The impairment test method and impairment provision method of the fixed assets are set out in Note V. 27.
The Group will re-check the useful lives, estimated net residual value and depreciation method of the fixed assets
at the end of each year. When there is any difference between the useful lives estimate and the originally estimated
value, the useful lives of the fixed asset shall be adjusted. When there is any difference between the estimated net
residual value estimate and the originally estimated value, the estimated net residual value shall be adjusted.
For the overhaul expense incurred by the Group during the regular inspection on the fixed assets, if there is
concrete evidence to prove that it meets the fixed asset recognition condition, it shall be included in the cost of
fixed asset; if it does not meet the fixed asset recognition condition, it shall be included in the profit or loss for the
current period. The depreciation of fixed assets shall be continued in the intervals of the regular overhaul of the
fixed asset.
23. Construction in progress
Construction in progress of the Group is recognised based on the actual construction cost, including all necessary
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 impairment provision of construction in progress is set out in Note V. 27.

24. Borrowing costs
(1) Recognition principle for the capitalisation of the borrowing costs
The borrowing costs incurred by the Group directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production
of a qualifying asset will be capitalised and included in the cost of relevant asset. Other borrowing costs will be
recognised as expenses when incurred according to the incurred amount, and included in the profit or loss for the
current period. When the borrowing costs meet all the following conditions, capitalisation shall be started:
The capital expenditure has been incurred, which includes the expenditure incurred by paying cash,
transferring non-cash assets or undertaking interest-bearing liabilities for acquiring, constructing or
producing the qualifying assets;
The borrowing costs have been incurred;
The acquisition, construction or production activity necessary for the asset to be ready for its intended use
or sale has been started.
(2) Capitalisation period of borrowing costs
When a qualifying asset acquired, constructed or produced by the Group is ready for its intended use or sale,
the capitalisation of the borrowing costs shall discontinue. The borrowing costs incurred after a qualifying asset
is ready for its intended use or sale shall be recognised as expenses when incurred according to the incurred
amount, and included in the profit or loss for the current period.
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. The capitalisation of the borrowing costs shall be continued in the normal interruption period.
(3) Calculation methods for capitalisation rate and capitalised amount of the borrowing costs
Where funds are borrowed for a specific purpose, the amount of interest to be capitalised shall be the actual
interest expense incurred on that borrowing for the period less any bank interest earned from depositing the
borrowed funds before being used into banks or any investment income on the temporary investment of those
funds. Where funds are borrowed for general purpose, the Company shall determine the amount of interest
to be capitalised on such borrowings by applying a capitalisation rate to the weighted average of the excess
amounts of cumulative expenditures on the asset over and above the amounts of specific-purpose borrowings.
The capitalisation rate shall be the weighted average of the interest rates applicable to the general-purpose
borrowings.
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.

25. Right-of-use assets
(1) Conditions for recognition of right-of-use assets
Right-of-use assets of the Group are defined as the right of underlying assets in the lease term for the Group as a
lessee.
Right-of-use assets are initially measured at cost at the commencement date of the lease. The cost includes the
amount of the initial measurement of lease liability; lease payments made at or before the inception of the lease
less any lease incentives enjoyed; initial direct costs incurred by the Group as lessee; costs to be incurred in
dismantling and removing the underlying assets, restoring the site on which it is located or restoring the underlying
asset to the condition required by the terms and conditions of the lease incurred by the Group as lessee. As
a lessee, the Group recognises and measures the costs of dismantling and restoration in accordance with the
Accounting Standard for Business Enterprises No. 13 – Contingencies. Subsequently, the lease liability is adjusted
for any remeasurement of the lease liability.
(2) Depreciation method of right-of-use assets
The Group uses the straight-line method for depreciation. Where the Group, as a lessee, is reasonably certain to
obtain ownership of the leased asset at the end of the lease term, such asset is depreciated over the remaining
useful life of the leased asset. Where ownership of the lease assets during the lease term cannot be reasonably
determined, right-of-use assets are depreciated over the lease term or the remainder of useful lives of the lease
assets, whichever is shorter.
(3) For the methods of impairment test and impairment provision of right-of-use assets, please refer to Note V. 27.
26. Intangible assets
(1) Measurement method, useful life and impairment testing
The intangible assets of the Group include land use rights, software and certificates of third party right.
The intangible asset is initially measured at cost, and its useful life is determined upon acquisition. If the useful life
is finite, the intangible asset will be amortised over the estimated useful life using the amortisation method that
can reflect the estimated realisation of the economic benefits related to the asset, starting from the time when
it is available for use. If it is unable to reliably determine the estimated realisation, straight-line method shall be
adopted for amortisation. The intangible assets with uncertain useful life will not be amortised.
The amortisation methods for the intangible assets with finite useful life are as follows:
Type Useful life (year) Method of amortisation Remark
Land use rights 50-70 Straight-line method
Software 5-10 Straight-line method
Certificates of third party right 3 Straight-line method
The Group reviews the useful life and amortisation method of the intangible assets with finite useful life at the
end of each year. If it is different from the previous estimates, the original estimates will be adjusted, and will be
treated as a change in accounting estimate.
If it is estimated on the balance sheet date that certain intangible asset can no longer bring future economic
benefit to the company, the carrying amount of the intangible asset will be entirely transferred into the profit or

(2) Accounting policy for internal research and development expenditure
Research and development expenditure of the Group is divided into expenses incurred during the research phase
and expenses incurred during the development phase.
Expenses incurred during the research phase and the development phase are recognised in profit or loss in the
current period.
27. Long-term asset impairment
Impairment of long-term equity investments in subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures, asset impairment on
investment property, fixed assets, construction in progress, materials for project, right-of-use assets, intangible assets,
goodwill and others (excluding inventories, deferred tax assets and financial assets) subsequently measured at cost is
determined as follows:
The Group determines if there is any indication of asset impairment as at the balance sheet date. If there is any evidence
indicating that an asset may be impaired, recoverable amount shall be estimated for impairment test. Goodwill arising
from business combinations, intangible assets with an indefinite useful life and intangible assets not ready for use will be
tested for impairment annually, regardless of whether there is any indication of impairment.
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. The Group estimates the recoverable amount of an individual
asset. If it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of the individual asset, the Group shall determine the
recoverable amount of the asset group to which the asset belongs. The determination of an asset group is based on
whether major cash inflows generated by the asset group are independent of the cash inflows from other assets or asset
groups.
When the recoverable amount of an asset or an asset group is less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount is
reduced to its recoverable amount. The reduction amount is charged to profit or loss and an impairment provision is
made accordingly.
For the purpose of impairment test of goodwill, the carrying amount of goodwill acquired in a business combination is
allocated to the relevant asset groups on a reasonable basis from the acquisition date; where it is difficult to allocate
to the related asset groups, it is allocated to the combination of related asset groups. The related asset groups or
combination of asset groups are those which can benefit from the synergies of the business combination and are not
larger than the reportable segments identified by the Group.
In the impairment test, if there is any indication that an asset group or a combination of asset groups related to goodwill
may be impaired, the Group first tests the asset group or set of asset groups excluding goodwill for impairment,
calculates the recoverable amount and recognises the corresponding impairment loss. An impairment test is then carried
out on the asset group or combination of asset groups containing goodwill by comparing its carrying amount with its
recoverable amount. If the recoverable amount is lower than the carrying amount, an impairment loss is recognised for
goodwill.
An impairment loss recognised shall not be reversed in a subsequent period.
28. Long-term prepaid expenses
The long-term prepaid expenses incurred by the Group shall be recognised based on the actual cost, and evenly
amortised over the estimated benefit period. For the long-term prepaid expense that cannot benefit the subsequent
accounting periods, its value after amortisation shall be entirely included in the profit or loss for the current period.

29. Contract liabilities
A contract liability represents the Company’s obligation to transfer goods to a customer for which the Company has
received consideration (or an amount of consideration is due) from the customer. If the customer has already paid
the contract consideration before the Company transfers goods to the customer or the Company has obtained the
unconditional collection right, the Company will recognise such amount received or receivable as contract liabilities
at earlier of the actual payment by the customer or the amount payable becoming due. Contract assets and contract
liabilities under the same contract are presented on a net basis, and contract assets and contract liabilities under
different contracts are not offset.
30. Employee benefits
(1) Scope of employee benefits
Employee benefits are all forms of considerations or compensation given by an entity in exchange for services
rendered by employees or for the termination of employment. Employee benefits include short-term staff
remuneration, post-employment benefits, termination benefits and other long-term employee benefits. Employee
benefits include benefits provided to employees’ spouses, children, other dependants, survivors of the deceased
employees or to other beneficiaries.
Employee benefits are presented as “employee benefits payable” and “long-term employee benefits payable” in
the balance sheet, respectively, according to liquidity.
(2) Short-term staff remuneration
Employee wages or salaries actually incurred, bonuses, and social insurance contributions such as medical
insurance, work injury insurance, maternity insurance, and housing fund, contributed at the applicable benchmarks
and rates, are recognised as a liability as the employees provide services, with a corresponding charge to profit or
loss or included in the cost of assets where appropriate. Where the payment of liability is expected not to be fully
settled within 12 months after the end of the annual reporting period in which the employees render the related
services, and the financial impact would be material, these liabilities are measured at their discounted values.
(3) Post-employment benefits
Post-employment benefit plans include defined contribution plans and defined benefit plans. A defined
contribution plan is a post-employment benefit plan under which the Group pays fixed contributions into a
separate fund and the Group has no further obligations for payment. A defined benefit plan is a post-employment
benefit plan other than a defined contribution plan.
Defined contribution plans
Defined contribution plans include basic pension insurance and unemployment insurance, both of which are
operated and managed by the government authorities and are non-refundable, whereas the Company has no
access nor any discretion after making contributions, and hence there were not any forfeited contributions as
under paragraph 26(2) of appendix 16 of the Hong Kong Listing Rules for the financial year ended 31 December
2020. In other words, the Group did not forfeit any contributions on behalf of its employees who leave the plan
prior to vesting fully in such contributions. Hence, there were no such an issue whether forfeited contributions may
be used by the Group under paragraph 26(2) of appendix 16 of the Hong Kong Listing Rules for the Group.
During the accounting period in which an employee provides service, the amount payable calculated according to
the defined contribution plan is recognised as a liability and included in the profit or loss for the current period or
the cost of relevant assets.

(4) Termination benefits
When the Group provides termination benefits to employees, employee benefits liabilities arising from termination
benefits are recognised in profit or loss for the current period at the earlier of the following dates: when the Group
cannot revoke unilaterally compensation for dismissal due to the cancellation of labour relationship plans and
employee redundant proposals; the Group recognises cost and expenses related to payment of compensation for
dismissal and restructuring.
For the early retirement plans, economic compensations before the actual retirement date were classified as
termination benefits. During the period from the date of cease of render of services to the actual retirement
date, relevant wages and contribution to social insurance for the employees proposed to be paid are recognised
in profit or loss on a one-off basis. Economic compensation after the official retirement date, such as normal
pension, is accounted for as post-employment benefits.
(5) Other long-term employee benefits
Other long-term employee benefits provided by the Group to employees that meet the conditions for defined
contribution plans are accounted for in accordance with the relevant provisions relating to defined contribution
plans as stated above. If the conditions for defined benefit plans are met, the benefits shall accounted for in
accordance with the relevant provisions relating to defined benefit plans, but the “changes arising from the
remeasurement of the net liabilities or net assets of the defined benefit plans” in the relevant employee benefits
shall be included in the current profit or loss or the relevant asset cost.
31. Lease liabilities
(1) Initial measurement
At the commencement date of a lease term, the Company shall initially measure the lease liabilities at the present
value of the lease payments that are not paid at that date.
1) Lease payments
The lease payments mean the payments made by the Company to a lessor for the right to use the leased
assets during the lease term, including: fixed payments and in-substance fixed payments, less any lease
incentives receivable; variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, initially measured using
the index or rate as at the commencement date of the lease term; the exercise price of a purchase option
if the Company is reasonably certain to exercise that option; payments for terminating the lease, if the
lease term reflects the Company exercising an option to terminate the lease; amounts expected to be
payable by the Company under residual value guarantees.
2) Discount rate
The present value of the lease payments shall be calculated using the Company’s incremental borrowing
rate.

31. Lease liabilities (Cont’d)
(2) Subsequent measurement
After the commencement date of a lease term, the Company shall subsequently measure the lease liabilities by:
increasing the carrying amount to reflect interest on the lease liabilities; reducing the carrying amount to reflect
the lease payments made; remeasuring the carrying amount to reflect the change in the lease payments due to
any reassessment or lease modifications
The interest expense on the lease liabilities in each period during the lease term is calculated using a constant
periodic rate of interest and is recognised in profit or loss for the current period, except for the interest expense to
be capitalised. The periodic rate of interest is the discount rate used by the Company in the initial measurement of
lease liabilities, or the revised discount rate used by the Company when the Company has to remeasure the lease
liabilities based on a revised discount rate due to a change in the lease payments or lease modifications.
(3) Remeasurement
After the commencement date of a lease term, the Company shall remeasure the lease liabilities using the
changes to the lease payments and the revised discount rate, and adjust the carrying amount of the right-of-use
assets accordingly in the circumstances set out below. If the carrying amount of the right-of-use assets is reduced
to zero and there is a further reduction in the measurement of the lease liabilities, the Company shall recognise
any remaining amount of the remeasurement in profit or loss: there is any change in the amount of in-substance
fixed payments; there is any change in the amounts expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee;
there is any change in the index or rate used to determine the lease payments; there is any change in the
assessment results in the purchase option; and there is any change in the assessment results or the exercise of
the extension option or termination option.
32. 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 Group;
(2) it is likely that an outflow of economic benefits from the Group will be resulted from the performance of the
obligation; and
(3) the amount of the obligation can be reliably measured.
The provisions shall be initially measured based on the best estimate for the expenditure required for the performance
of the current obligation, after taking into account relevant risks, uncertainties, time value of money and other factors
pertinent to the contingencies. If the time value of money has significant influence, the best estimates shall be
determined after discounting the relevant future cash outflow. The Group reviews the carrying amount of the provisions
on the balance sheet date and adjust the carrying amount to reflect the current best estimates.
If all or some expenses incurred for settlement of recognised 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.

33. Share-based payments
(1) Category of share-based payment
The Group’s share-based payment is either equity-settled or cash-settled.
(2) Determination of fair value of equity instruments
For the existence of an active market for options and other equity instruments granted by the Group, the fair value
is determined at the quoted price in the active market. For options and other equity instruments with no active
market, option pricing model shall be used to estimate the fair value of the equity instruments. The following
factors shall be taken into account using option pricing models: A. the exercise price of the option; B. the validity
period of the option; C. the current market price of the share; D. the expected volatility of the share price; E.
predicted dividend of the share; and F. risk-free rate of the option within the validity period.
(3) Recognition of vesting of equity instruments based on the best estimate
On each balance sheet date within the vesting period, the estimated number of equity instruments expected
to vest is revised based on the best estimate made by the Group according to the latest available subsequent
information as to changes in the number of employees with exercisable rights. On the vesting date, the final
estimated number of equity instruments expected to vest should equal the actual number of equity instruments
expected to vest.
(4) Accounting treatment of implementation, modification and termination of share-based payment
Equity-settled share-based payment shall be measured at the fair value of the equity instruments granted to
employees. For those may immediately vest after the grant, the fair value of equity instrument at the grant date
shall be included in the relevant costs or expenses, and the capital reserve shall be increased accordingly. If the
right may not be exercised until the vesting period comes to an end or until the specified performance conditions
are met, within the vesting period, the services obtained in the current period shall, based on the best estimate of
the number of vested equity instruments, be included in the relevant costs or expenses and the capital reserve at
the fair value of the equity instrument at the grant date. After the vesting period, relevant costs or expenses and
total shareholders’ equity which have been recognised will not be adjusted.
Cash-settled share-based payment shall be measured in accordance with the fair value of liability calculated and
recognised based on the shares or other equity instruments undertaken by the Group. For those may immediately
vest after the grant, the fair value of the liability undertaken by the Group shall, on the date of the grant, be
included in the relevant costs or expenses, and the liabilities shall be increased accordingly. If the right may not be
exercised until the vesting period comes to an end or until the specified performance conditions are met, within
the vesting period, the services obtained in the current period shall, based on the best estimate of the information
about the exercisable right, be included in the relevant costs or expenses and the corresponding liabilities at the
fair value of the liability undertaken by the Group. For each of the balance sheet date and settlement date before
the settlement of the relevant liabilities, fair value of the liabilities shall be remeasured and the changes will be
included in the profit or loss for the current period.

(4) Accounting treatment of implementation, modification and termination of share-based payment (Cont’d)
When there are changes in Group’s share-based payment plans, if the modification increases the fair value of
the equity instruments granted, corresponding recognition of service increase in accordance with the increase in
the fair value of the equity instruments; if the modification increases the number of equity instruments granted,
the increase in fair value of the equity instruments is recognised as a corresponding increase in service achieved.
Increase in the fair value of equity instruments refer to the difference between the fair values of the modified date.
If the modification reduces the total fair value of shares paid or not conductive to the use of other employees
share-based payment plans to modify the terms and conditions of service, it will continue to be accounted for in
the accounting treatment, as if the change had not occurred, unless the Group cancelled some or all of the equity
instruments granted.
During the vesting period, if the cancelled equity instruments (except for failure to meet the conditions of the non-
market vesting conditions) granted by the Group to cancel the equity instruments granted amount treated as
accelerated vesting of the remaining period should be recognised immediately in profit or loss, while recognising
capital reserves. If employees or other parties can choose to meet non-vesting conditions but they are not met in
the vesting period, the Group will treat them as cancelled equity instruments granted.
34. Preference Shares, Perpetual Bonds and other financial instruments
(1) Classification of financial liabilities and equity instruments
Financial instruments issued by the Group are classified into financial assets, financial liabilities or equity
instruments on the basis of the substance of the contractual arrangements and the economic nature not only
its legal form, together with the definition of financial asset, financial liability and equity instruments on initial
recognition.
(2) Accounting treatment of Preference Shares, Perpetual Bonds and other financial instruments
Financial instruments issued by the Group are initially recognised and measured in accordance with the financial
instrument standards; thereafter, interest or dividends are accrued on each balance sheet date and accounted for
in accordance with relevant specific ASBEs, i.e. to determine the accounting treatment for interest expenditure
or dividend distribution of the instrument based on the classification of the financial instrument issued. For
financial instruments classified as equity instruments, their interest expenses or dividend distributions are treated
as profit distribution of the Group, and their repurchases and cancellations are treated as changes in equity;
for financial instruments classified as financial liabilities, their interest expenses or dividend distribution are in
principle accounted for with reference to borrowing costs, and the gains or losses arising from their repurchases
or redemption are included in the profit or loss for the current period.
For the transaction costs such as fees and commissions incurred by the Group for issuing financial instruments, if
such financial instruments are classified as debt instruments and measured at amortised cost, they are included
in the initial measured amount of the instruments issued; if such financial instruments are classified as equity
instruments, they are deducted from equity.

35. Revenue
(1) General principles
The Group recognises revenue when it satisfies a performance obligation in the contract, i.e. when the customer
obtains control of the relevant goods or services.
Where a contract has two or more performance obligations, the Group allocates the transaction price to each
performance obligation based on the percentage of respective unit price of goods or services guaranteed by
each performance obligation, and recognises as revenue based on the transaction price that is allocated to each
performance obligation.
If one of the following conditions is fulfilled, the Group performs its performance obligation within a certain period;
otherwise, it performs its performance obligation at a point of time:
when the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits provided by the Group when the
Group performs its obligations under the contract;
when the customer is able to control the goods in progress in the course of performance by the Group
under the contract;
when the goods produced by the Group under the contract are irreplaceable and the Group has the right to
payment for performance completed to date during the whole contract term.
For performance obligations performed within a certain period, the Group recognises revenue by measuring
the progress towards complete of that performance obligation within that certain period. When the progress
of performance cannot be reasonably determined, if the costs incurred by the Group are expected to be
compensated, the revenue shall be recognised at the amount of costs incurred until the progress of performance
can be reasonably determined.
For performance obligation performed at a point of time, the Group recognises revenue at the point of time at
which the customer obtains control of relevant goods or services. To determine whether a customer has obtained
control of goods or services, the Group considers the following indications:
The Group has the current right to receive payment for the goods, which is when the customer has the
current payment obligations for the goods.
The Group has transferred the legal title of the goods to the customer, which is when the client possesses
the legal title of the goods.
The Group has transferred the physical possession of goods to the customer, which is when the customer
obtains physical possession of the goods.
The Group has transferred all of the substantial risks and rewards of ownership of the goods to the
customer, which is when the customer obtain all of the substantial risks and rewards of ownership of the
goods to the customer.
The customer has accepted the goods.
Other information indicates that the customer has obtained control of the goods.

35. Revenue (Cont’d)
(1) General principles (Cont’d)
The Group’s right to consideration in exchange for goods or services that the Group has transferred to customers
(and such right depends on factors other than passage of time) is accounted for as contract assets, and contract
assets are subject to impairment based on ECLs. The Group’s unconditional right to receive consideration from
customers (only depends on passage of time) is accounted for as accounts receivable. The Group’s obligation to
transfer goods or services to customers for which the Group has received or should receive consideration from
customers is accounted for as contract liabilities.
Contract assets and contract liabilities under the same contract are presented on a net basis. Where the net
amount has a debit balance, it is presented in “contract assets” or “other non-current assets” according to its
liquidity. Where the net amount has a credit balance, it is presented in “contract liabilities” or “other non-current
liabilities” according to its liquidity.
(2) Specific methods
Specific method for revenue recognition of machine-made paper business of the Group: in terms of domestic
sales of machine-made paper, revenue is recognised when goods are delivered to the customers and such
deliveries are confirmed; while in terms of overseas sales of machine-made paper, revenue is recognised on the
day when goods are loaded on board and declared.
Specific method for recognition of finance lease income of the Group: according to the repayment schedule, the
income is recognised by instalments according to the effective interest rate.
Specific method for recognition of revenue from real estate of the Group: revenue is recognised by amortising the
rental income on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
36. Government grants
A government grant is recognised when there is reasonable assurance that the grant will be received and that the Group
will comply with the conditions attaching to the grant.
If a government grant is in the form of a transfer of a monetary asset, it is measured at the amount received or
receivable. If a government grant is in the form of a transfer of non-monetary asset, it is measured at fair value; if the fair
value cannot be obtained in a reliable way, it is measured at the nominal amount of RMB1.
Government grants obtained for acquisition or construction of long-term assets or other forms of long-term asset
formation are classified as government grants related to assets, while the remaining government grants are classified as
government grants related to revenue.
Regarding the government grant not clearly defined in the official documents and can form long-term assets, the part
of government grant which can be referred to the value of the assets is classified as government grant related to assets
and the remaining part is government grant related to revenue. For the government grant that is difficult to distinguish,
the entire government grant is classified as government grant related to revenue.
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 in a reasonable and systematic manner. For a government grant related to revenue, if
the grant is a compensation for related costs, expenses or losses incurred, the grant shall be recognised in profit or loss
for the current period; if the grant is a compensation for related costs, 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, expenses or losses are recognised. A government grant measured at nominal amount is directly included
in profit or loss for the current period. The Group adopts a consistent approach to the same or similar government
grants.

36. Government grants (Cont’d)
A government grant related to daily activities is recognised in other gains relying on the essence of economic business;
otherwise, recognised in non-operating income or non-operating expenses.
For the repayment of a government grant already recognised, if there is any related deferred income, the repayment
shall be off set against the carrying amount of the deferred income, and any excess shall be recognised in profit or loss
for the current period; otherwise, the repayment shall be recognised immediately in profit or loss for the current period.
For the policy preferential interest subsidy, if it is provided by the financial authority through banks, it is recognised
at the amount of borrowings actually received, and the borrowings costs are calculated based on the principal of the
borrowings and the policy preferential interest rate; if it is provided by the financial authority directly, the corresponding
interest will be used to offset the relevant borrowing expenses.
37. Deferred income tax assets/deferred income tax liabilities
Income tax comprises current income tax expense and deferred income tax expense, which are included in profit or
loss for the current period as income tax expenses, except for deferred tax related to transactions or events that are
directly recognised in owners’ equity which are recognised in owners’ equity, and deferred tax arising from a business
combination, which is adjusted against the carrying amount of goodwill.
Temporary differences arising from the difference between the carrying amount of an asset or liability and its tax base
at the balance sheet date of the Group shall be recognised as deferred income tax using the balance sheet liability
method.
All the taxable temporary differences are recognised as deferred income tax liabilities except for those incurred in the
following transactions:
(1) 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) when the transaction
occurs;
(2) The taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures,
and the Group 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.
The Group recognises a deferred income tax asset for the carry forward of deductible temporary differences, 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 temporary differences, deductible losses and tax credits can be utilised, except for those
incurred in the following transactions:
(1) The transaction is neither a business combination nor affects accounting profit or taxable profit (or deductible loss)
when the transaction occurs;
(2) The deductible temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures,
the corresponding deferred income tax asset is recognised when both of the following conditions are satisfied: it is
probable that the temporary difference will reverse in the foreseeable future, and it is probable that taxable profits
will be available in the future, against which the temporary difference can be utilised.

37. Deferred income tax assets/deferred income tax liabilities (Cont’d)
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, and their tax effect is
reflected accordingly.
At the balance sheet date, the Group reviews 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 tax asset to be utilised,
the carrying amount of the deferred tax asset is reduced. Any such reduction in amount is reversed when it becomes
probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available.
38. Lease
(1) Identification of leases
On the beginning date of the contract, the Group (as a lessee or lessor) assesses whether the customer in
the contract has the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from use of the identified asset
throughout the period of use and has the right to direct the use of the identified asset throughout the period of
use. If a contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset and multiple identified assets for a
period of time in exchange for consideration, the Group identifies such contract is, or contains, a lease.
(2) The Group as lessee
On the beginning date of the lease, the Group recognises right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for all leases,
except for short-term lease and low-value asset lease with simplified approach.
The accounting policy for right-of-use assets is set out in Note V. 25.
The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the beginning
date of the lease using the interest rate implicit in the lease or the incremental borrowing rate. Lease payments
include fixed payments and in-substance fixed payments, less any lease incentives receivable; variable lease
payments that are based on an index or a rate; the exercise price of a purchase option if the lessee is reasonably
certain to exercise that option; payments for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects the lessee exercising
that option of terminating; and amounts expected to be payable by the lessee under residual value guarantees.
Subsequently, the interest expense on the lease liability for each period during the lease term is calculated using a
constant periodic rate of interest and is recognised in profit or loss for the current period. Variable lease payments
not included in the measurement of lease liabilities are charged to profit or loss in the period in which they actually
arise. The Group calculates the interest expense of the lease liability for each period of the lease term based on
the fixed periodic interest rate and is included in the current profit and loss. The variable lease payments that are
not included in the measurement of the lease liability are recognised in profit or loss when incurred.
Short-term lease
Short-term leases refer to leases with a lease term of less than 12 months from the commencement date, except
for those with a purchase option.
Lease payments on short-term leases are recognised in the cost of related assets or current profit or loss on a
straight-line basis over the lease term.

(2) The Group as lessee (Cont’d)
Short-term lease (Cont’d)
For short-term leases, the Group chooses to adopt the above simplified approach for the following types of assets
that meet the conditions of short-term lease according to the classification of leased assets.
Low-value machinery and equipment
Transportation vehicles
Low-value asset lease
A low-value asset lease is a lease that the value of a single leased asset is below RMB2,000,000 when it is a new
asset.
For a low-value asset lease, the Group chooses the above simplified approach based on the specific
circumstances of each lease.
Lease payments on low-value asset leases are recognised on a straight-line basis over the lease term, and either
included in the cost of the related asset or charged to profit or loss for the current period.
(3) The Group as lessor
When the Group is a lessor, a lease is classified as a finance lease whenever the terms of the lease transfer
substantially all the risks and rewards of asset ownership to the lessee. All leases other than financial leases are
classified as operating leases.
Operating lease
Lease payments under operating leases are recognised in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
Initial direct costs incurred in relation to operating leases are capitalised and amortised over the lease term on the
same basis as rental income and recognised in profit or loss for the current period. The variable lease payments
obtained in relation to operating leases that are not included in the lease payments are recognised in profit or loss
in the period in which they actually incurred.
(4) Sublease
When the Group is an intermediate lessor, the sublease is classified with reference to the right-of-use assets
arising from the head lease. If the head lease is a short-term lease for which the Group adopts a simplified
approach, then the Group classifies the sublease as an operating lease.

(5) Sale and leaseback
The lessee and the lessor shall assess and determine whether the transfer of assets in a sale and leaseback
transaction is a sale in accordance with the requirements of the Accounting Standard for Business Enterprises No.
14 – Revenue.
Where asset transfer under the sale and leaseback transactions is a sale, the lessee shall measure the right-
of-use assets created by the sale and leaseback based on the portion of carrying amount of the original assets
related to right of use obtained upon leaseback, and only recognise relevant profit or loss for the right transferred
to the lessor. The lessor shall account for the purchase of assets in accordance with other applicable ASBEs and
account for the lease of assets in accordance with this standard.
Where asset transfer under the sale and leaseback transactions is not a sale, the lessee shall continue to
recognise the transferred assets while recognising a financial liability equal to the transfer income and account
for such liability according to the Accounting Standard for Business Enterprises No. 22 – Recognition and
Measurement of Financial Instruments; or not to recognise the transferred assets but recognise a financial asset
equal to the transfer income and account for such asset according to the Accounting Standard for Business
Enterprises No. 22 – Recognition and Measurement of Financial Instruments.

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.
The Group measures the relevant assets or liabilities at fair value, assuming that the orderly transaction of selling the
assets or transferring the liabilities is conducted in the main market of the relevant assets or liabilities; in the absence of
the main market, the Group assumes that the transaction is conducted in the most advantageous market for the relevant
asset or liability. The main (or the most advantageous) market must be accessible to by the Group on the measurement
date. The Group uses assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, assuming that
market participants act in their economic best interest.
For financial assets or financial liabilities exist in an active market, fair value is determined based on the quoted price
in such market. While financial instruments do not exist in an active market, the fair value is determined using valuation
techniques.
Fair value measurement for a non-financial asset takes into account a market participant’s ability to generate economic
benefits by using the asset in its best use or by selling it to another market participant that would use the asset in its
best use.
The Group uses valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data are
available to measure fair value, and gives priority to relevant observable inputs. Unobservable inputs are used only when
relevant observable inputs are not accessible or the access to which is impracticable.
All assets and liabilities measured at fair value or disclosed in the financial statements are categorised within the fair
value hierarchy, described as follows, based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement
as a whole: Level 1 inputs are available quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities at
the measurement date; Level 2 inputs are inputs, other than Level 1 inputs, that are observable for the asset or liability,
either directly or indirectly; Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.
For assets and liabilities that are recognised in the financial statements at fair value on a recurring basis, the Group re-
assess them at each balance sheet date to determine whether transfers have occurred between levels in the hierarchy.

Note: The Group assessed the recoverable amount of goodwill and determined that the goodwill related to the Group’s panel and plastic
business was not impaired. With the category of the principal activities as the basis for determining the reporting segments, the
Group regards Shandong Chenming Panels Co., Ltd. and Kunshan Tuoan Plastic Products Co., Ltd. as two separate asset groups.
Their recoverable amount is determined based on the present value of the estimated future cash flows. Future cash flows are
determined based on the financial budget for 2021 to 2025 as approved by the management, and adopt 7.28% as the discount rate
which is the interest rate of the 5-year bonds issued by the Company in 2018. The cash flows for more than 5 years are calculated
based on the growth rate of 5%. Other key assumptions used in estimating future cash flows include the estimated sales and gross
profit based on the performance of such asset group in the past and the expectation to market development by the management.
The management believes that any reasonable change in the above assumptions will not result in the total book value of the
asset group Shandong Chenming Panels Co., Ltd. and the asset group Kunshan Tuoan Plastic Products Co., Ltd. exceeding its
recoverable amount.

In February 2017, Arjowiggins HKK2 Limited (“HKK2 Company”) submitted a H share winding-up petition to Hong Kong
High Court due to a joint venture dispute, which required a compensation for economic loss of RMB167 million and
interest thereon, and legal costs of USD3.54 million and arbitration fee of HK$3.3 million and interest thereon to HKK2.
The Company made provision of RMB320 million for such pending litigation in 2017. On 5 August 2020, Hong Kong
High Court rejected the Group’s appeal. The Group is seeking ways of appeal again to safeguard the lawful rights and
interests of the Company and the investor community.

(2) Liquidity risks
Liquidity risk refers to the risks that the Group will not be able to meet its obligations associated with its financial
liabilities that are settled by delivering cash or other financial assets.
To manage the liquidity risk, the Group monitors and maintains a level of cash and cash equivalents to finance the
Group’s operations and mitigate the effects of fluctuations in cash flows. The management of the Group monitors
the usage of bank borrowings and ensures compliance with the borrowing agreements. In the meantime, we
obtain commitments from major financial institutions to provide sufficient standby funds to meet short-term and
long-term funding needs.
Operating cash was generated from capital and bank and other borrowings. As of 30 June 2021, the Group’s
unused bank loan credit is RMB41,077.6910 million (31 December 2020: 38,894.7823 million).

Interest rate risk (Cont’d)
The Group’s interest rate risk arises from long-term interest-bearing liabilities including long-term borrowing and
bonds payable. Financial liabilities issued at floating rate expose the Group to cash flow interest rate risk. Financial
liabilities issued at fixed rate expose the Group to fair value interest rate risk. The Group determines the relative
proportions of its fixed rate and floating rate contracts depending on the prevailing market conditions and to
maintain an appropriate combination of financial instruments at fixed rate and floating rate through regular reviews
and monitors.
The Group’s finance department continuously monitors the interest rate position of the Group. At present, the
Group did not enter into any interest rate hedging arrangements. However, the management is responsible to
monitor the risks of interest rate and consider to hedge significant interest risk if necessary. Increase in interest
rates will increase the cost of new borrowing and the interest expenses with respect to the Group’s outstanding
floating rate interest-bearing borrowings, and therefore could have a material adverse effect on the Group’s
financial result. The management will make adjustments with reference to the latest market conditions. These
adjustments may include enter into interest swap agreement to mitigate its exposure to the interest rate risk.
Interest bearing financial instrument held by the Group are as follows (in ten thousand RMB):

This sensitivity analysis as above has been determined assuming that the change in interest rates had occurred at
the reporting date and arisen from the recalculation of the above financial instrument issued at new interest rates.
The non-derivative tools issued at floating interest rate held by the Group at the reporting date expose the Group
to cash flow interest rate risk. The effect to the net profit and shareholder’s equity illustrated in the sensitivity
analysis as above is arisen from the effect to the annual estimate amount of interest expenses or revenue at the
floating interest rate. The analysis is performed on the same basis for prior year.

Exchange risk refers to the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will be fluctuated
due to the changes in foreign currency rates. Foreign currency risk arises on financial instruments that are
denominated in a currency other than the functional currency in which they are measured.
The principal business of the Group is situated within the PRC and is denominated in RMB. However, foreign
exchange risks still exist for the assets and liabilities in foreign currencies and future foreign currency transactions
as recognised by the Group (assets and liabilities in foreign currencies and foreign currency transactions are
mainly denominated in US dollar, Japanese yen, South Korean Won and Euro).

2. Contingency
(1) Significant contingency as at the balance sheet date
In October 2005, the Company and Hong Kong Arjowiggins HKK2 Limited (“HKK2”) jointly established ArjoWiggins
Chenming Specialty Paper Co., Ltd. in Shouguang, Shandong Province, which is engaged in the production of
special paper, decoration paper and draft paper. However, such company experienced poor management due to
financial crisis. Hence, such company was forced to dissolve in October 2008.
In October 2012, HKK2 submitted for arbitration application to Hong Kong International Arbitration Centre, Hong
Kong Special Administration of PRC, on the ground of default of the joint venture agreement by the Company.
In November 2015, Hong Kong International Arbitration Centre announced arbitration result, stating that the
Company should compensate HKK2 with economic loss of RMB167 million, arbitration fee of HK$3.30 million
and legal fee of USD3.54 million, together with interest thereon calculated at 8% per annum. In October 2016, the
Company received a statutory demand, stating that if the Company fails to perform the arbitration results within 21
days, the liquidation application on H shares of the Company will be submitted. Subsequently, HKK2 submitted H
shares liquidation application to the arbitration centre.
In November 2016, the Company submitted application to the Court of First Instance of the High Court of the
HKSAR and received an injunction, stating that “the applicant is prohibited from applying for liquidation on the
Company”.
In February 2017, HKK2 submitted an appeal to the court. In June 2017, the court dismissed the injunction
received by the Group. In the same month, the Group received the liquidation application submitted by the
defendant to the High Court of Hong Kong, which alleged that the Group should compensate the defendant with
economic loss of RMB167 million, legal fee of USD3.54 million and arbitration fee of HK$3.30 million, together
with interest thereon due to failure in compliance of the arbitration results.
In 2017, the Group made provision of RMB325,259,082.28 for the pending litigation.
Relevant appeal hearing of the Group on 15 July 2017 was completed in the Hong Kong High Court Appeal Court
on the morning of 11 May 2018. At the end of the hearing, the court had instructed that another sentence be
adjudicated.
On 5 August 2020, the Court of Appeal of the High Court of Hong Kong made a judgment and rejected our
Company’s appeal request. The Company is seeking ways to re-appeal to protect the legal rights and interests of
the Company and investors. However, as of 30 June 2021, the estimated loss was still uncertain. Therefore, the
estimated liability must still be listed in the balance sheet.
(2) To state that the company has no material contingency that needs to be disclosed
