III Management Discussion and Analysis


I.   Principal activities of the Company during the Reporting Period
     (I)   Industry overview and industry position
           The industry in which the Company operates is the paper making and paper product industry. After decades of
           development, the Company has developed into 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
           for more than 20 years in a row. The Company has been on the Fortune 500 China list for 13 consecutive years.
           Taking “revitalising the Chinese papermaking industry” as its mission, the Company has been adhering to its green
           development philosophy, committing itself to implementing a pulp and paper integration strategy and promoting the
           integrated development in the industry chain and the value chain. The Company has established 6 production bases in,
           among others, Shandong, Guangdong, Hubei, Jiangxi and Jilin with annual pulp and paper production capacity of more
           than 11 million tonnes. It is the first large-scale integrated pulp and paper company in China that achieves a balance
           between pulp and paper production.

           In the first half of 2022, affected by factors such as the evolution of public health events, the changing international
           political landscape and high inflation, commodity prices and international logistics prices surged, resulting in a
           significant increase in operating costs of papermaking companies. In the downstream market, the price transmission
           mechanism did not work due to weak demand in the domestic market, resulting in lower machine-made paper prices
           than the corresponding period of the prior year, and limiting the scope for corporate earnings. According to the National
           Bureau of Statistics of China, the total profit of the paper making and paper product industry from January to June 2022
           amounted to RMB25.99 billion, representing a year-on-year decrease of 46.2%. Recently, large pulp companies such as
           Arauco in Chile had announced their expansion and production plans, which would be expected to mitigate the pressure
           on pulp supply. In addition, raw material prices would be expected to fall due to the global tightening of monetary policy
           and declining inflation. At the same time, with the epidemic under better control and the implementation of the policies
           to stabilise growth in China, domestic demand would improve. It was expected that the papermaking industry would
           rebound gradually with recovery in profitability for the industry.

           Although the complex and changing external environment increased the difficulty factor of corporate development,
           the Company consolidated its profitability by strengthening its internal management, optimising its cost structure,
           checking raw material cost hikes and seizing opportunities in overseas markets. During the reporting period, the
           Company recorded machine-made paper production of 2.58 million tonnes and sales of 2.69 million tonnes, revenue of
           RMB16,676 million and total profit of RMB275 million.

            higher profitability.

    2.      The profitability of Huanggang Chenming became significant as the pulp price remained relatively high during the
            reporting period.

XI. Risk factors of the Company and the measures to be taken
     1.    Macroeconomic and policy risk
           As a basic raw materials industry, the papermaking industry is supported by national industry policies in many ways. Its
           prosperity is closely related to national macroeconomic policies. With a view to improving industry structure, enhancing
           product technology standard, energy saving and emission reduction, and eliminating outdated production capacity
           relevant departments have issued the Policy on the Development of Papermaking Industry to promote the high-quality
           development of the papermaking industry. If the support of relevant national industrial policies is weakened in the future
           or the above-mentioned industrial policies, or economic policies such as fiscal, financial, taxation, and import and export
           policies are adjusted, the operation and development of the Company will be affected.

           The Company pays attention to various policies and regulations of relevant industries in China in a timely manner, and
           actively adjusts its business development strategy in a timely manner based on the policy orientation. While focusing
           on the development of its principal activities, i.e. pulp production and paper making, the Company adheres to its
           innovation-driven strategy and comprehensively optimise its industrial structure and regional layout. thus ensuring
           that the development of its principal activities is in compliance with the requirements of the policies of the industries,
           and realising steady growth in its operating results. The Company will also strengthen the financial information system
           construction, regulate financial management, expand financing channels, lower capital cost and strengthen its aversion
           capability against macro-economic risk.

     2.    Environmental protection risk
           The paper making industry is a heavily polluting industry listed by the Ministry of Environmental Protection. As China’s
           ecological civilisation construction enters a critical period of focusing on carbon reduction, promoting synergy of
           pollution reduction and carbon reduction, promoting comprehensive green transformation of economic and social
           development, and realising the improvement of ecological environment quality from quantitative changes to qualitative
           changes, relevant departments have successively formulated and issued a series of policies such as Guiding Opinions
           on Accelerating the Establishment of a Sound Economic System with Green, Low-carbon and Circular Development, the
           Announcement on Adjusting the Catalogue of Prohibited Products in Processing Trade, the 14th Five-Year Plan for the
           Implementation of National Clean Production, and the Implementation Plan for Carbon Peaking in the Industrial Sector.
           Environmental protection requirements are becoming more and more stringent. With the higher national environmental
           protection standards, the Company further increases its investment in pollution governance, which will increase the
           Company’s operating costs in the short term.

           The Company always adheres to the development idea of “placing green development and environmental protection
           as its priority”, widely adopts new technologies for energy saving and emission reduction, fully implements clean
           production and strives to achieve its waste emission target. In recent years, the Company has invested RMB8,000
           million in total, and actively supported the construction of projects such as alkali recycling, middle water treatment,
           and middle water reuse. Relying on technological innovation, the Company comprehensively carries out environmental
           protection governance. 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% and the reclaimed water quality meets drinking water standards. 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”, further improving its green level.

XI. Risk factors 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 industry. If the prices of wood pulp and wood chips
         fluctuate sharply in the future, they will bring upward pressure on the production costs of enterprises, which will have a
         certain impact on the normal production and operation of enterprises in the industry.

         The Company strives to implement the development strategy of pulp and paper integration. At present, its production
         capacity of pulp has reached 4.3 million tonnes, and it has cultivated a strong self-sufficiency of wood pulp. At the same
         time, the Company has established a more comprehensive supply chain management mechanism, and practiced source
         procurement to reduce procurement costs. The Company continued to improve its production technology, improved the
         utilisation rate of raw materials, and optimised operational efficiency to reduce the risk of raw material price fluctuations
         to the Company.

    4.   Risk of intensifying market competition
         As a strategic and fundamental industry closely related to the national economy, the papermaking industry continuously
         matures along with the steady development of the Chinese economy. Although the papermaking industry has
         accelerated the elimination of outdated production capacity after several rounds of environmental protection policies
         and its structure has been optimised, there remains the phenomena of a large number of enterprises, excess and
         scattered production capacity, a large number of mid- and low-end products, and product homogeneity. In addition,
         technological upgrade in the papermaking industry is relatively rapid, and related products are replaced quite often, thus
         causing a fierce market competition.

         The Company actively studies the development trend of the industry, correctly grasps the market dynamics in a
         timely manner, and reduces its production costs and achieves increased production and efficiency by adjusting and
         optimising technological processes. It adheres to being market-oriented, enhances its R&D and innovation capabilities,
         produces products that meet market demand, and enriches products types and application fields. It also improves the
         professional level of its sales staff, expands sales channels, strengthens business cooperation with customers, provides
         comprehensive customer services, and increases its market share.

    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 financial leasing business, with
         strong risk resistance and low risk of default. At present, Chenming Leasing continues to implement the business
         strategy of continuous reduction which effectively put risk exposures under control.

      5.   Participating in social welfare
           The Company always sticks to “Creating high-quality paper products and sincerely repaying the society” as its
           guiding policy, and pays attention to the creation of social value while pursuing economic benefits. Over the years, the
           Company has been supporting education and public welfare for the disabled, participating in charitable activities such
           as “Chaoyang Student Assistance” and “Love for the Disabled”, and helping poor students through the Love Education
           Foundation. During the reporting period, the Company actively participated in the 32nd “National Day for Helping the
           Disabled” charitable donations. In addition, under frequent outbreaks of the COVID-19 epidemic in China, the Company
           actively implemented epidemic prevention measures, improved the internal epidemic prevention system, and built a
           solid foundation for protecting its own safety. At the same time, the Company donated anti-epidemic materials and daily
           necessities to areas that were affected by the epidemic, such as Mazhang District of Zhanjiang City and Longtan District
           of Jilin City, to support the local fight against COVID-19.

           The Company stays true to itself and shoulders its missions. In the first half of 2022, the Company actively assumed
           the responsibility of protecting the rights and interests of stakeholders such as shareholders, customers and suppliers,
           practiced the “dual carbon” strategy, supported the fight against the epidemic, alleviated the poor and helped the
           disabled, and effectively fulfilled its social responsibilities. In the future, the Company will continue to follow the guidance
           of “Creating high-quality paper products and sincerely repaying the society”, focusing on the principal business of pulp
           production and paper making, to create social value and achieve organic integration of economic, social and ecological
           benefits.

     5.   Accounting treatment of business combinations under common control and not under common control
          (1)   Business combination under common control

                For the business combination involving entities under common control, the assets and liabilities of the party being
                merged that are obtained in the business combination by the absorbing party shall be measured at the carrying
                amounts as recorded by the ultimate controlling party in the consolidated financial statements at the combination
                date, except for the adjustments of different accounting policies. The difference between the carrying amount
                of the consideration paid for the combination (or the aggregate nominal value of shares issued as consideration)
                and the carrying amount of the net assets obtained in the combination is charged to the capital reserve (share
                capital premium/capital premium). If the capital reserve (share capital premium/capital premium) is not sufficient to
                absorb the difference, any excess shall be adjusted against retained earnings.

                Business combinations involving entities under common control and achieved in stages

                In the separate financial statements, the initial investment cost is calculated based on the shareholding portion
                of the assets and liabilities obtained and are measured at the carrying amounts as recorded by the party being
                merged at the combination date. The difference between the initial investment cost and the sum of the carrying
                amount of the original investment cost prior to the combination and the carrying amount of consideration paid for
                the combination is adjusted to the capital reserve (share capital premium/capital premium), if the capital reserve is
                not sufficient to absorb the difference, the excess difference shall be adjusted to retained earnings.

                In the consolidated financial statements, the assets and liabilities of the party being merged that are obtained
                at the combination by the absorbing party shall be measured at the carrying value as recorded by the ultimate
                controlling party in the consolidated financial statements at combination date, except for adjustments of different
                accounting policies. The difference between the sum of the carrying value from original shareholding portion
                and the new investment cost incurred at combination date and the carrying value of net assets obtained at
                combination date shall be adjusted to capital reserve (share capital premium/capital premium), if the balance of
                capital reserve is not sufficient to absorb the differences, any excess is adjusted to retained earnings. The long-
                term investment prior to the absorbing party obtaining the control of the party being merged, the recognised profit
                or loss, comprehensive income and other change of owners’ equity at the closer date of the acquisition date and
                combination date under common control shall separately offset the opening balance of retained earnings and
                profit or loss during comparative statements.

          (2)   Business combination not under common control

                For business combinations involving entities not under common control, the cost for each combination is
                measured at the aggregate fair value at acquisition date, of assets given, liabilities incurred or assumed, and
                equity securities issued by the acquirer in exchange for control of the acquiree. At acquisition date, the acquired
                assets, liabilities or contingent liabilities of acquiree are measured at their fair value.

          (Cont’d)
          (2)   Business combination not under common control (Cont’d)

                Where the cost of combination exceeds the acquirer’s interest in the fair value of the acquiree’s identifiable net
                assets, the difference is recognised as goodwill, and subsequently measured on the basis of its cost minus
                accumulative impairment provision; Where the cost of combination is less than the acquirer’s interest in the fair
                value of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets, the difference is recognised in profit or loss for the current period
                after reassessment.

                Business combinations involving entities not under common control and achieved in stages

                In the separate financial statements, the initial investment cost of the investment is the sum of the carrying amount
                of the equity investment held by the entity prior to the acquisition date and the additional investment cost at the
                acquisition date. The disposal accounting policy of other comprehensive income related with equity investment
                prior to the acquisition date recognised under equity method shall be compliance with the method when the
                acquiree disposes the related assets or liabilities. Owners’ equity due to the changes of other owners’ equity other
                than the changes of net profit, other comprehensive income and profit distribution shall be transferred to profit or
                loss for current period when disposed of. If the equity investment held by the entity prior to the acquisition date is
                measured at fair value, the cumulative changes in fair value recognised in other comprehensive income shall be
                transferred to retained earnings for current period when accounted for using cost method.

                In the consolidation financial statements, the combination cost is the sum of consideration paid at acquisition date
                and fair value of the acquiree’s equity investment held prior to acquisition date; the cost of equity of the acquiree
                held prior to acquisition date shall be remeasured at the fair value at acquisition date, the difference between the
                fair value and carrying amount shall be recognised as investment income or loss for the current period. Other
                comprehensive income and changes of investment equity related with acquiree’s equity held prior to acquisition
                date shall be transferred to investment profit or loss for current period at acquisition date, except for the other
                comprehensive income incurred by the changes of net assets or net liabilities due to the remeasurement of
                defined benefit plans.

          (3)   Transaction fees attribution during business combination

                The audit, legal, valuation advisory and other intermediary fees and other relevant administrative expenses arising
                from business combinations are recognised in profit or loss when incurred. Transaction costs of equity or debt
                securities issued as the considerations of business combination are included in the initial recognition amounts.

     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
                intracompany 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 profit or loss statement and the
                consolidated cash flow statement, respectively.

                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 profit or loss
                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)   Acquisition of non-controlling interests in subsidiaries

                The difference between the long-term equity investments costs acquired by the acquisition of non-controlling
                interests and the share of the net assets from subsidiaries from the date of acquisition or the date of combination
                based on the new shareholding ratio, as well as the difference between the proceeds from the partial disposal
                of the equity investment without losing control over its subsidiary and the disposal of the long-term equity
                investment corresponding to the share of the net assets of the subsidiaries from the date of acquisition or the date
                of combination, is adjusted to the capital reserve (share capital premium), if the capital reserve is not sufficient,
                any excess is adjusted to retained earnings.

          (4)   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.

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

                The foreign currency operations of the Company are translated into the functional currency at the prevailing spot
                exchange rate on the date of exchange.

                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 or other comprehensive income for the period
                based on the nature of the non-monetary items.

          (2)   Translation of financial statements denominated in foreign currency

                When translating the financial statements denominated in foreign currency of overseas subsidiaries, assets and
                liabilities on the balance sheet are translated at the spot exchange rate prevailing at the balance sheet date;
                owner’s equity items except for “retained profit” are translated at the spot exchange rates at the dates on which
                such items arose.

                Income and expenses items in the profit or loss statement are translated at the prevailing spot exchange rate on
                the transaction date.

                All items in the cash flow statements shall be translated at the prevailing spot exchange rate on the date that
                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 Company 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 Company (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 Company 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 Company’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.




                                                                                    SHANDONG CHENMING PAPER HOLDINGS LIMITED              79

          (2)   Classification and measurement of financial assets (Cont’d)

                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 Company’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.

                Financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss

                The Company 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 Company 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 Company manages its financial assets in
                order to generate cash flows. That is, the Company’s business model determines whether cash flows will result
                from collecting contractual cash flows, selling financial assets or both. The Company 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 Company 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 Company 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.

                Financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss (Cont’d)

                All affected financial assets are reclassified on the first day of the first reporting period following the change in
                the business model where the Company 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
                Company.

          (3)   Classification and measurement of financial liabilities

                At initial recognition, financial liabilities of the Company 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.




                                                                                   SHANDONG CHENMING PAPER HOLDINGS LIMITED             81

          (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 Company 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 Company’s own equity instruments, the Company’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 Company; for the latter, it is the Company’s own equity instruments.

          (4)   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. 41.

          (5)   Impairment of financial assets

                The Company makes provision for impairment based on expected credit losses (ECLs) on the following items:
                Financial assets measured at amortised cost;

                Receivables and debt investments measured at fair value through other comprehensive income;

                Contract assets as defined in the Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises No. 14 – Revenue;

                Lease receivables;

                Financial guarantee contracts (except those measured at fair value through profit or loss or formed by continuing
                involvement of transferred financial assets or the transfer does not qualify for derecognition).

                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 Company 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 Company 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 Company 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 Company 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 Company 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 Company 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
                Company is exposed to credit risk, including renewal options.

                For the financial instruments at the first and second stages and with low credit risks, the Company 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.

                Bills receivable and accounts receivable

                For bills receivable and accounts receivable, regardless of whether there is a significant financing component, the
                Company always makes provision for impairment at an amount equal to lifetime ECLs.

                When the Company 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: Due from related party customers

                      Accounts receivable portfolio 2: Receivables from non-related party customers

                      Accounts receivable portfolio 3: Factoring receivables

                For bills receivable and contract assets classified as a portfolio, the Company 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 Company 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 Company 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 Company 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 Company’s long-term receivables include finance lease receivables and deposits receivable.

                The Company 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

                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 receivables for construction projects, the Company 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 Company measures the ECLs based on the nature of the

                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
                Company 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 Company considers
                reasonable and well-founded information, including forward-looking information, which can be obtained without
                unnecessary extra costs or efforts. Information considered by the Company 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 Company.

                Depending on the nature of the financial instruments, the Company 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 Company 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 Company 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 Company 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
                debtor.

          (5)   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 Company 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 Company 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 Company’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.

          (6)   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 Company transfers substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset to the
                transferee, the financial asset shall be derecognised. If the Company retains substantially all the risks and rewards
                of ownership of a financial asset, the financial asset shall not be derecognised.

                If the Company 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 Company 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.

          (7)   Offset of financial assets and financial liabilities

                If the Company owns the legitimate rights of offsetting the recognised financial assets and financial liabilities,
                which are enforceable currently, and the Company plans to realise the financial assets or to clear off the financial
                liabilities on a net amount basis or simultaneously, the 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.




                                                                                  SHANDONG CHENMING PAPER HOLDINGS LIMITED             87

     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.

         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 agencies            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 during daily and recurring activities.

     15. Inventories
         (1)    Classification of inventories

                Inventories of the Company 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 Company 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 Company 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 Company 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. Assets 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
          noncurrent 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.




                                                                                 SHANDONG CHENMING PAPER HOLDINGS LIMITED           91

     18. Assets held for sale (Cont’d)
          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 not yet past due          The group is comprised of long-term receivables not yet past due with
                                                          normal 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 Company are those investees that the Company 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 Company’s share of profit or cash dividend distributed
               by the investee. In respect of the other movement of net profit or loss, other comprehensive income and profit
               distribution of investee, the carrying amount of long-term equity investment shall be adjusted and included in the
               capital reserves (other capital reserves). The Company shall recognise its share of the investee’s net profits or
               losses based on the fair values of the investee’s individual separately identifiable assets at the time of acquisition,
               after making appropriate adjustments thereto according to the accounting policies and accounting periods of the
               Company.




                                                                                 SHANDONG CHENMING PAPER HOLDINGS LIMITED             93

          (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. For investments
                in non-trading equity instruments that were previously classified as at fair value through other comprehensive
                income, the cumulative fair value changes associated with them that were previously included in other
                comprehensive income are transferred to retained earnings upon the change to the equity method of accounting.

                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 Company 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 Company 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 Company.
                Investment gain or loss shall be recognised accordingly. However, any unrealised loss arising from internal
                transactions between the Company and an investee is not eliminated to the extent that the loss is impairment loss
                of the transferred assets.

          (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 Company 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 Company 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)   Held-for-sale equity investments

                The equity investments to associates or joint ventures are all or partially classified as assets held for sale.

                The remaining equity investments that are not classified as assets held for sale shall be accounted for using equity
                method.

                The equity investments to associates or joint ventures already classified as held for sale no longer meet the
                conditions of assets held for sale shall be adjusted retroactively using equity method from the date of being
                classified as assets held for sale.

          (5)   Impairment test method and Impairment provision

                For the method for making impairment provision for the investment in subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures,
                please refer to Note V. 28.

     21. Investment property
          Investment property refers to real estate held to earn rentals or for capital appreciation, or both. The investment property
          of the Company includes leased land use rights, land use rights held for sale after appreciation, and leased buildings.

          The investment property of the Company 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. 28.

          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 represent the tangible assets held by the Company using in the production of goods, rendering of
               services and for operation and administrative purposes with useful life over one year.

               Fixed assets are recognised when it is probable that the related economic benefits will flow to the Company and
               the costs can be reliably measured.

               The Company’s fixed assets are initially measured at the actual cost at the time of acquisition.

               Subsequent expenditures incurred for a fixed asset are included in the cost of the fixed asset when it is probable
               that the associated economic benefits will flow to the Company and the related cost can be reliably measured.
               The cost of routine repairs of fixed assets that do not qualify as capitalised subsequent expenditure is charged to
               current profit or loss or included in the cost of the related assets in accordance with the beneficiary object when
               incurred. The carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognised.

         (2)   Depreciation method

               The Company 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 Company determines the annual
               depreciation rate by category, estimated useful lives and estimated residual value of the fixed assets as below:

               accumulated amount of the fixed asset impairment provision that has been made shall be deducted.

         (3)   The impairment test method and impairment provision method of the fixed assets are set out in Note V. 28.

         (4)   The Company 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.

         (5)   Disposal of fixed assets

               A fixed asset is derecognised on disposal or when it is expected that there shall be no economic benefit arising
               from using or after disposal. Where the fixed assets are sold, transferred, retired or damaged, the income received
               after disposal after deducting the carrying amount and related taxes are recognised in profit or loss for the current
               period.

     23. Construction in progress
         Construction in progress of the Company 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. 28.

     24. Borrowing costs
         (1)   Recognition principle for the capitalisation of the borrowing costs

               The borrowing costs incurred by the Company 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 Company 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.




                                                                               SHANDONG CHENMING PAPER HOLDINGS LIMITED          97

     25. Biological assets
         Bearer biological assets refer to biological assets held for the purpose of producing agricultural products, providing
         labour services or renting, including economic forests, firewood forests, productive livestock and draught animals.
         Bearer biological assets are initially measured at cost. The cost of a planted or propagated bearer biological asset
         includes the expenses directly attributable to the asset and necessarily incurred before the asset is ready for its intended
         production and operation, including the borrowing costs that are eligible for capitalisation.

         The management, protection and feeding costs of a biological asset subsequent to crown closure or after the asset is
         ready for its intended production and operation are expensed and recognised in profit or loss as incurred.

         Depreciation of bearer biological assets is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of
         each biological asset less its residual value.

     26. Right-of-use assets
         Conditions for recognition of right-of-use assets

         Right-of-use assets are defined as the right of underlying assets in the lease term for the Company 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 Company 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 Company as lessee. As a lessee, the Company
         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.

         Depreciation method of right-of-use assets

         The Company uses the straight-line method for depreciation. Where the Company, 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.

         For the methods of impairment test and impairment provision of right-of-use assets, please refer to Note V. 28.

     27. Intangible assets
         The intangible assets of the Company 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 Company 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 loss for the current
         period.

         The impairment method for the intangible assets is set out in Note V. 28.

     28. 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 Company 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 Company estimates the recoverable amount of an
         individual asset. If it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of the individual asset, the Company shall
         determine the recoverable amount of the asset group to which the asset belongs. The 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.




                                                                                SHANDONG CHENMING PAPER HOLDINGS LIMITED           99

V.    Significant Accounting Policies and Accounting Estimates (Cont’d)
      28. Asset impairment (Cont’d)
           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 Company.

           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.

      29. Long-term prepaid expenses
           The long-term prepaid expenses incurred by the Company 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.

      30. 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.

     31. 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 by the Company as a liability during the accounting period when the employees render
               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 postemployment
               benefit plan other than a defined contribution plan.

               Defined contribution plans

               Defined contribution plans include basic pension insurance and unemployment insurance.

               During the accounting period when an employee renders services, 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 Company 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 Company cannot revoke unilaterally compensation for dismissal due to the cancellation of labour relationship
               plans and employee redundant proposals; the Company 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.




                                                                                SHANDONG CHENMING PAPER HOLDINGS LIMITED          101

      32. 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.

           (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.

     33. Provisions
         Obligations pertinent to the contingencies which satisfy the following conditions are recognised by the Company as
         provisions:

         (1)   the obligation is a current obligation borne by the Company;

         (2)   it is likely that an outflow of economic benefits from the Company will be resulted from the performance of the
               obligation;

         (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 Company 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.

     34. Share-based payments
         (1)   Category of share-based payment

               The Company’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 Company, 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 Company 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.




                                                                              SHANDONG CHENMING PAPER HOLDINGS LIMITED         103

          (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 Company. For those may
                immediately vest after the grant, the fair value of the liability undertaken by the Company 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 Company. 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.

                When there are changes in Company’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 Company 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 Company 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 Company will treat them as cancelled equity instruments granted.

     35. Preference shares, Perpetual Bonds and other financial instruments
         (1)   Classification of financial liabilities and equity instruments

               Financial instruments issued by the Company 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 Company 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 Company, 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 Company 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.

     36. Revenue
         (1)   General principles

               The Company 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 Company 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 Company 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 Company when the
                     Company performs its obligations under the contract;

                     when the customer is able to control the goods in progress in the course of performance by the Company
                     under the contract;

                     when the goods produced by the Company under the contract are irreplaceable and the Company has the
                     right to payment for performance completed to date during the whole contract term.

               For performance obligations performed within a certain period, the Company 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 Company 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.


                                                                                  SHANDONG CHENMING PAPER HOLDINGS LIMITED           105

      36. Revenue (Cont’d)
          (1)   General principles (Cont’d)

                For performance obligation performed at a point of time, the Company 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 Company considers the following indications:

                      The Company has the current right to receive payment for the goods, which is when the customer has the
                      current payment obligations for the goods.

                      The Company has transferred the legal title of the goods to the customer, which is when the client
                      possesses the legal title of the goods.

                      The Company has transferred the physical possession of goods to the customer, which is when the
                      customer obtains physical possession of the goods.

                      The Company 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.

                The Company’s right to consideration in exchange for goods or services that the Company 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 (Note V. 10). The Company’s unconditional right to
                receive consideration from customers (only depends on passage of time) is accounted for as accounts receivable.
                The Company’s obligation to transfer goods or services to customers for which the Company 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 Company: 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 Company: 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 Company: revenue is recognised by amortising
                the rental income on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

     37. Government grants
         A government grant is recognised when the grant will be received and that the Company will comply with the conditions
         attaching to the grant.

         If a government grant is in the form of a monetary asset, it is measured at the amount received or receivable. If a
         government grant is in the form 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 Company adopts a consistent approach to the same or similar government
         grants.

         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.




                                                                                SHANDONG CHENMING PAPER HOLDINGS LIMITED          107

      38. 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 Company 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 Company is able to control the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference and it is probable that the
                 temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future.

           The Company 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.

           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 Company 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.

     39. Lease
         (1)   Identification of leases

               On the beginning date of the contract, the Company (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 Company identifies such contract is, or contains, a lease.

         (2)   The Company as lessee

               On the beginning date of the lease, the Company 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. 26.

               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. Where the interest rate implicit in the lease cannot be
               determined, the incremental borrowing rate is used as the discount 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 Company 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.

               For short-term leases, the Company 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 asset lease

                 A low-value asset lease is a lease that the value of a single leased asset is below RMB40,000 when it is a new
                 asset.

                 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.

                 For a low-value asset lease, the Company chooses the above simplified approach based on the specific
                 circumstances of each lease.

                 Lease modification

                 The Company accounts for a lease modification as a separate lease when the modification occurs and the
                 following conditions are met:    the lease modification expands the scope of lease by adding the right to use
                 one or more of the leased assets; and    the increase in consideration is equivalent to the separate price for the
                 expanded scope of lease adjusted for that contractual situation.

                 Where a lease modification is not accounted for as a separate lease, at the effective date of the lease modification,
                 the Company reallocates the consideration of the modified contract, re-determines the lease term and remeasures
                 the lease liability based on the present value of the lease payments after the modification and the revised discount
                 rate.

                 If a lease modification results in a reduction in the scope of the lease or a shortening of the lease term, the
                 Company reduces the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset accordingly and includes in the profit or loss for
                 the period the gain or loss associated with the partial or complete termination of the lease.

                 Where other lease modifications result in a remeasurement of the lease liability, the Company adjusts the carrying
                 amount of the right-of-use asset accordingly.

     39. Lease (Cont’d)
          (3)   The Company as lessor

                When the Company 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.

                Finance leases

                Under finance leases, the Company accounts for finance lease receivables at the beginning of the lease term at
                the net lease investment, which is the sum of the unsecured residual value and the present value of the lease
                receipts outstanding at the commencement date of the lease, discounted at the interest rate implicit in the lease.
                The Company as lessor calculates and recognises interest income for each period of the lease term based on
                a fixed periodic interest rate. Variable lease payments acquired by the Company as lessor that are not included
                in the net measurement of lease investments are included in profit or loss for the period when they are actually
                incurred.

                Derecognition and impairment of finance lease receivables are accounted for in accordance with the requirements
                under the Accounting Standard for Business Enterprises No. 22 – Recognition and Measurement of Financial
                Instruments and the Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises No. 23 – Transfer of Financial Assets.

                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.

                Lease modification

                The Company accounts for a modification in an operating lease as a new lease from the effective date of the
                modification and the amount of lease receipts received in advance or receivable in respect of the lease prior to the
                modification is treated as a receipt under the new lease.

                The Company accounts for a modification in a finance lease as a separate lease when the change occurs and
                the following conditions are met:  the modification expands the scope of lease by adding the right to use one
                or more of the leased assets; and     the increase in consideration is equivalent to the separate price for the
                expanded scope of lease adjusted for that contractual situation.

                Where a finance lease is modified and not accounted for as a separate lease, the Company accounts for the
                modified lease in the following circumstances:        If the modification takes effect on the lease commencement
                date, the lease will be classified as an operating lease, the Company will account for it as a new lease from the
                effective date of the lease modification, and use the net lease investment before the effective date of the lease
                modification;    If the modification takes effect on the lease commencement date, the lease will be classified as a
                finance lease, and the Company will conduct accounting treatment in accordance with the Accounting Standards
                for Business Enterprises No. 22 – Recognition and Measurement of Financial Instruments on modifying or
                renegotiating contracts.

      39. Lease (Cont’d)
           (4)   Sublease

                 When the Company 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 Company adopts a simplified
                 approach, then the Company 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.

     41. Others
         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
         reassess them at each balance sheet date to determine whether transfers have occurred between levels in the hierarchy.

                   Note: The Company assessed the recoverable amount of goodwill and determined that the goodwill related to the Company’s plastic
                         business was not impaired. The Company determines the reporting segments based on the category of the principal activities
                         and categorises Kunshan Tuoan Plastic Products Co., Ltd. as an asset group. The recoverable amount is determined based on
                         the current value of the estimated future cash flows. Future cash flows are determined based on the financial budget for 2022 to
                         2026 as approved by the management, and adopts a discount rate of 7.28%, 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 believed that any reasonable change
                         in the above assumptions will not result in the total carrying value of the asset group Kunshan Tuoan Plastic Products Co., Ltd.
                         exceeding its recoverable amount.

         Explanation: In February 2017, Arjowiggins HKK2 Limited (“HKK2 Company”) submitted a H share winding-up petition
         against the Company 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 Company’s appeal. On 14 June 2022, Hong Kong Court
         of Final Appeal rejected the Company’s appeal, and directed that the sum of HK$389,112,432.44, together with interest
         accrued thereon, previously deposited with the Court as a stay of the conditions of the winding up petition filed by HKK2
         against the Company pursuant to the order of the Judge of the Court of First Instance, Mr. HARRIS Jonathan Russell,
         shall be paid to HKK2.

               Changes (increase or decrease) in other equity instruments during the period, the reasons for such changes, and

               The Company issued medium-term notes amounting to RMB1,000 million on 12 July 2017 at a coupon rate of
               6.80%. The proceeds net of issue costs amounted to RMB996.00 million. The notes are debts without a defined
               maturity date and will continue indefinitely until the exercise of the right of redemption by the Company. The
               interest rate of the bills is determined by the basic interest rate + the initial interest rate + 300BP. It has the feature
               of capped interest rates and the capped interest rate does not exceed the average interest rate level of the same
               type of instruments in the same industry in the same period; The Company has the right to defer any payment of
               interest. The right of redemption of the notes is vested in the Company so that it is up to the Company to decide
               whether to redeem or not; the priority of repayment of the principal and interest of medium-term notes for the
               period is the same as other outstanding debt financing instruments of the issuers in the event of winding up,
               because there is low probability of bankruptcy that the Company will not be liable for contractual obligations to
               deliver cash or other financial assets expected.

               Based on the above, the notes do not contain any term giving rise to any contractual obligation to deliver cash
               or other financial assets to any other entity, or to exchange any financial asset or financial liability with any other
               entity under potential adverse circumstances. Consequently, they are eligible to be recognised and accounted for
               as equity instruments and included under other equity instruments – Perpetual Bonds.

          Other explanations, including changes (increase or decrease) during the period and reasons for such changes:

             The Company estimated that due to the second batch of 30% restricted shares, the capital surplus recognised in
          previous years was eliminated in the current period, and the final share-based payment was recognised as a reduction
          of capital surplus of RMB6,850,012.78;    a capital increase of Zhanjiang Chenming Pulp & Paper Co., Ltd., a subsidiary
          of the Company, was contributed on the part of other investors, causing a decrease in the Company’s shareholding
          without loss of control, and an increase of capital reserves of RMB29,676,814.69;       in 2021, Guangdong Nanyue
          Bank Co., Ltd., an associate of the Company, introduced investment on the part of other investors, which diluted the
          Company’s equity interest, and as the 2021 annual report of Guangdong Nanyue Bank Co., Ltd. was disclosed later
          than the Company, the Company reduced the capital reserves by RMB55,547,014.21 based on the audited amount in
          the 2021 annual report of Guangdong Nanyue Bank Co., Ltd.

          Breakdown of adjustments to opening balance of retained earnings:

          The Company implemented the new financial instrument standard earlier than the Company’s associate, Guangdong
          Nanyue Bank Co., Ltd., but during the period in which the associate had yet to implement the new standard, the
          Company did not adjust the financial statements of associates or joint ventures in accordance with the new standard
          when it adopted the equity method of accounting due to objective limitations. The associate adjusted the opening
          balances of the financial statements in accordance with the convergence requirements of the new standard since
          1 January 2021, and pursuant to the Fifth Batch of Questions and Answers on the Implementation of Accounting
          Standards for Enterprises for 2021 – (I) Questions and Answers on the Implementation of Long-term Equity Investment
          Standards of the Accounting Department of the Ministry of Finance, the Company should adjust the opening balances
          of its 2021 financial statements accordingly when adopting the equity method of accounting. As the Company’s 2021
          annual report was disclosed earlier than that of Guangdong Nanyue Bank Co., Ltd., the Company adjusted the opening

      64. Notes to items of statements of changes in owners’ equity
           The Company implemented the new financial instrument standard earlier than the Company’s associate, Guangdong
           Nanyue Bank Co., Ltd., but during the period in which the associate had yet to implement the new standard, the
           Company did not adjust the financial statements of associates or joint ventures in accordance with the new standard
           when it adopted the equity method of accounting due to objective limitations. The associate adjusted the opening
           balances of the financial statements in accordance with the convergence requirements of the new standard since
           1 January 2021, and pursuant to the Fifth Batch of Questions and Answers on the Implementation of Accounting
           Standards for Enterprises for 2021 – (I) Questions and Answers on the Implementation of Long-term Equity Investment
           Standards of the Accounting Department of the Ministry of Finance, the Company should adjust the opening balances
           of its 2021 financial statements accordingly when adopting the equity method of accounting. As the Company’s
           2021 annual report was disclosed earlier than that of Guangdong Nanyue Bank Co., Ltd., the Company adjusted the
           opening balance of retained earnings based on the unaudited data of Guangdong Nanyue Bank Co., Ltd. in its 2021
           annual report, and adjusted the opening balance for the period based on the difference in the opening net assets after
           Guangdong Nanyue Bank Co., Ltd. had issued the official auditors’ report.

     limited extent.

     1.   Goal and policies of risk management
          The Company aims to seek the appropriate balance between the risks and benefits in order to mitigate the adverse
          effects on the Company’s financial performance from financial risk. Based on such objectives, the Company’s risk
          management policies are established to identify and analyse the risks faced by the Company, to set appropriate risk
          limits and devise corresponding internal control procedures, and to monitor risks faced by the Company. Such risk
          management policies and internal control systems are reviewed regularly to adapt to changes in market conditions
          and the Company’s activities. The internal audit department of the Company also undertakes both regular and ad-hoc
          reviews of the implementation of internal control systems in compliance with risk management policies.

          (including exchange rate risk, interest rate risk and commodity price risk).

          The Board is responsible for planning and establishing the risk management structure of the Company, formulating risk
          management policies and related guidelines, and supervising the implementation of risk management. The Company
          has already formulated risk management policies to identify and analyse risks that the Company face. These policies

           (3)   Market risk

                 Market risk of financial instruments is the risk of fluctuation in the fair value of financial instruments or future cash
                 flow arising from changes in market price. Market risk includes interest rate risk, exchange risk and other price
                 risk.

                 Interest rate risk

                 Interest rate risk is the risk of fluctuation in the fair value of financial asset or future cash flow arising from changes
                 in market interest rate. Interest rate risk may arise in the recognised interest-bearing financial instruments and
                 unrecognised financial instruments (e.g. some loan commitments).

     1.   Goal and policies of risk management (Cont’d)
          (3)   Market risk (Cont’d)

                Interest rate risk (Cont’d)

                The Company’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 Company to cash flow interest rate
                risk. Financial liabilities issued at fixed rate expose the Company to fair value interest rate risk. The Company
                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 Company closely monitors the interest rate risk due to changes in interest rate. At present, the Company does
                not adopt any interest rate hedging policies. However, the management is responsible for monitoring interest rate
                risk, and considers hedging significant interest rate risk as necessary. Interest rate hikes will increase the cost of
                new interest-bearing borrowings, and the interest expenses with respect to the Company’s outstanding floating
                rate interest-bearing borrowings, and therefore could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial
                result. The management will make adjustments with reference to the latest market conditions. These adjustments
                may include interest swap arrangements to mitigate its exposure to the interest rate risk.

                Interest-bearing financial instruments held by the Company are as follows (in ten thousand RMB):

                                                                                                 Balance for            Balance for

                The sensitivity analysis above indicates the instantaneous change in the net profit and equity that would arise
                assuming that the change in interest rates had occurred at the balance sheet date and had been applied to
                remeasure those financial instruments held by the Company which expose the Company to fair value interest
                rate risk at the balance sheet date. In respect of the exposure to cash flow interest rate risk arising from floating
                rate non-derivative instruments held by the Company at the balance sheet date, the impact on the net profit and
                equity is estimated as an annualised impact on interest expense or income of such a change in interest rates. The
                analysis is performed on the same basis for the previous year.

                 Exchange rate risk

                 Exchange rate risk refers to the risk that the fair value or future cash flow of a financial instrument will fluctuate
                 due to changes in foreign exchange rates. Exchange rate risk may arise from financial instruments denominated in
                 foreign currencies other than the functional currency.

                 The principal business of the Company 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 Company (assets and liabilities in foreign currencies and foreign currency transactions are
                 mainly denominated in US dollar, Japanese yen, South Korean Won, Euro, Hong Kong dollar and British pound).

                 The following table details the financial assets and liabilities held by the Company which denominated in foreign
                 currencies and amounted to RMB as at 30 June 2022 are as follows (in RMB ten thousands):

                 The Company closely monitors the impact of exchange rate changes on the Company’s foreign exchange
                 risk. The Company has not taken any measures to avoid foreign exchange risks. However, the management is
                 responsible for monitoring exchange rate risks and will consider hedging significant exchange rate risks when

     2.    Capital management
           The objective of the Company’s capital risk management is to safeguard the Company’s ability to continue as a going
           concern in order to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders and to maintain an optimal
           capital structure to reduce the cost of capital.

           In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Company may adjust its financing methods, adjust the number
           of dividends paid to shareholders, return capital to shareholders, issue new shares or disposes assets to reduce its
           liabilities.

           The Company monitors capital on the basis of the gearing ratio. This ratio is calculated as net liabilities divided by total
           capital. As at 30 June 2022, the Company’s gearing ratio is 72.89% (31 December 2021: 72.78%).

     measurement, the fair value can be categorised as:

     Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

     Level 2: Observable inputs other than the quoted market price of assets or liabilities in Level 1, either directly (the prices) or
     indirectly (derived from prices).

     Level 3: Any input that is not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs) is used for assets or liabilities.

         ex-rights price of the shares on the grant date. The Restricted Shares to be granted under the Incentive Scheme were
         “granted once and unlocked in batches”. For the period commencing from the first trading day after expiry of the
         24-month period from the date on which the registration of the grant of the Restricted Shares is completed and ending
         on the last trading day of the 36-month period from the date on which the registration of the grant of the Restricted
         Shares is completed, 40% of the Restricted Shares will be unlocked; for the period commencing from the first trading
         day after expiry of the 36-month period from the date on which the registration of the grant of the Restricted Shares
         is completed and ending on the last trading day of the 48-month period from the date on which the registration of the

         conditions, please refer to the announcement of the Company). The Company estimated that the performance indicators
         for 2022 cannot be fulfilled, and the corresponding second batch of the 30% Restricted Shares cannot be unlocked. In
