Construction materials increased by 37.82%, mainly due to the increase in the construction materials purchased by the Company.5 5. Short-term loans increased by 108.99%, mainly due to an increase in undue discounted bills of the Company during the current period. 6. Advances from customers increased by 34.85%, mainly because the Company entered into more sales contracts with customers under a gradually recovering market, which caused an increase in customer advances in respect of goods purchased. 7. Non-current liabilities due within one year decreased by 48.16%, mainly due to the Company headquarters repaid RMB 503 million of loans due within one year during the current period. 8. Deferred income increased by 70.61%, mainly due to Zhanjiang Chenming Paper Pulp Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of the Company, received grants of RMB 35 million from Zhanjiang City in respect of the water supply and road network construction projects for the Zhanjiang pulp project. 9.
