Interim Report 2009 42 (4) Available for sale financial assets Financial assets classified as available for sale are non-derivatives that are either designated as such or are not classified in any of the other categories: A. Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss B. Held-to-maturity investments; C. Loans and receivables Available for sale financial assets are initially recorded at fair value plus any directly attributable transaction costs on the trade date and subsequently re-measured at fair value. The price includes the declared but not received bond interest or cash dividend is recognized as a separate item. The Company recognizes the interest or cash dividends as investment income. At each balance sheet date, available-for-sale financial assets were measured at fair value and the fair value changes are recognized in the capital reserve - other capital reserve. The difference between the proceeds of the disposal and the carrying value should be recognized as investment income. And the related fair value change in the equity should be transferred out, and recorded as investment income. (5) The Company classifies financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss as held-for-trading, and those designated at fair value through profit or loss at inception. Financial liabilities are measured at fair value, and do not deduct the future settlement transaction cost. These financial liabilities are accounted at fair value, and the possible trading expenses in future clearing of accounts will not be deducted. If the fair value is not applicable, the financial liabilities should be measured at amortized cost. (6) Other financial liabilities For other financial liabilities which are not at fair value through profit or loss, for example financial guaranteed contracts, they are initially recognized at fair value plus any directly attributable transaction costs. After the initial recognition, the other financial liabilities are measured at the higher of the amount measured in accordance with “Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises– Contingency” and the amortized balance measured in accordance with “Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises – Revenue”. 3) Determination of the fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities The fair value of active market existed financial assets and liabilities should be on the quoted price of the active market. The quoted price of the active market referred as the prices which can be regularly and easily received from bourse, broker’s agency, and trade society and quotation service agency etc., and also referred as the actual market price in fair transactions. The fair value of non-active market existed financial assets and liabilities should be used the estimated skill to confirm the value. The fair value of investments that are actively traded in organized financial markets is determined by reference to quoted market prices. For investments where there is no active market, fair value is determined using valuation techniques. Such techniques include using recent arm’s length market transactions; reference to the current market value of another instrument, which is substantially the same; a discounted cash flow analysis; option pricing models and other valuation models. 4) Impairment for financial assets The Company assesses at each balance sheet date whether there is any objective evidence that a financial asset or a group of financial assets is impaired. Positive evidences refer to those occurred after the initial recognition, have effect on estimated future cash flows of the financial assets, and can be measured reliably. An individual impairment assessment should be performed on the balances that are individually significant. For the financial assets which are not individually significant, they should be allocated into asset groups which contain similar risk characteristics and assess collectively. The followings are the impairment testing method for each main financial asset: (1) For the available for sale financial asset whose fair value can be reliably measured, the amount that is recognized in income statement is the difference between the book value and current fair value; for theBengang Steel Plates Co., Ltd. Interim Report 2009 43 available for sale financial asset whose fair value cannot be reliably measured, the impairment loss which is recognized in income statement is the difference between the book value and the present value of estimated future cash flow (excludes credit loss that has not happened yet). When a decline in the fair value of an available for sale financial asset has been recognized directly in equity and there is objective evidence that the asset is impaired the cumulative loss that had been recognized directly in capital surplus are removed from equity and recognized in profit or loss of the current period. (2) Financial assets carried at cost If there is objective evidence that the financial assets have been impaired, the amount of the impairment loss is measured as the difference between the carrying amount of the financial asset and the present value of estimated future cash flows discounted at the current market rate of return for a similar financial asset, and recognized in the income statement of the current year. (3) Financial assets carried at amortized cost If objective evidence shows that the financial assets carried at amortized cost are impaired, the carrying amount of the financial asset shall be reduced to the present value of the estimated future cash flow (excluding future credit losses that have not been incurred). The amount of reduction is recognized as an impairment loss in the income statement. Present value of estimated future cash flow is discounted at the financial asset’s original effective interest rate and includes the value of any related collateral. 7. Bad debt provision For each individually significant receivable, the impairment test should be assessed individually. Where there is evidence that indicates a impairment, the loss should be recognized with the respective provision accrued, equaling to the difference between the present value of the future cash flows and the book value of receivables. For the receivables which are not individually significant, they together with the receivables which are indicated not impaired during the individual assessment should be allocated into groups which contain similar risk characteristics and accrue the bad debt provision based on the actual bad debt percentage in experience and the situation in current period. The Company makes the specific bad debt provision for the receivables whose collect ability is doubtful; the Company does not make bad debt provision for the receivables which are used for guarantee purpose; for other receivables, the Company makes the bad debt provision using the allowance method. The Company makes the following percentages of bad debt provision for accounts receivable and other receivables: Age Percentage (%) within 1 year 0.00 1-2 yrs 5.00 2-3 years 20.00 Over 3 yrs 100.00 The Company makes no bad debt provision for receivables other than accounts receivable and other receivables by taking into accounts of the actual situation of the Company. For some specific items whose credit risk characteristics are obviously different, the Company performs individual analysis on them and confirms the actual loss rate. The Company makes no bad debt provision for the receivables happened between subsidiaries or between subsidiary and parent company in the scope of consolidation. When there is objective evidence shows a specific receivable is not collectable, the Company treats it as bad debt and write off against the bad debt provision. A. Description of the receivable classification (a) Individually significant item – Above RMB 10 million in accounts receivable or above RMB 5 million in other receivables; (b) Items not individually significant but credit risk of the group which the receivables are classifying to isBengang Steel Plates Co., Ltd. Interim Report 2009 44 high – account aging is above 3 years except for these individually significant; (c) Other items not individually significant – items other than specified in (a) or (b). B. Standard of recognizing a bad debt Debtor is discharged or bankrupt, the uncollected amount after the legal procedures; debtor dies, the uncollected amount after the repayment by using all of the debtor’s assets or legacies; the debtor did not fulfill his/her duty to repay the debt when it is overdue, and there is an objective evidence indicating that the receivables is not collectible. For these receivables, the Company charges off the bad debt in accordance with the company’s management authority. 8. Inventories 1) Inventory classification Inventories include raw material, low-valued consumables, work-in process, and finished goods etc. 2) Valuation method for inventory issuing Inventories should be recorded at their historical cost on acquisition; inventories requested or issued should be accounted for at their historical cost, which should be determined using the weighted average method to confirm the actual cost. 3) Low-valued consumables amortization Low-valued consumables should be amortized in full amount on issuance. 4) Verifying standard for inventory provision and way for accrued Inventories should be measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value, and a provision for inventory write-down should be established for any difference between the cost the lower net realizable value. Normally the Company accrued inventory provision on single item; at the end of the period, if the reasons of past accrued inventory provision have been disappeared, the accrued amount should be transferred back. 5) Net realizable value of the inventory Net realizable value of the inventory is amount that the estimated sales value minus the estimated completed cost, expenses and related taxes. 6) Inventory system The Company use perpetual inventory system. 9. Long-term equity investment 1) Initial measurement (1) The initial cost of long-term equity investment from business acquisition is determined by: A. For the acquisition under the common control, if the consideration of the acquiring enterprise is that it makes payment in cash, transfers non-cash assets or bear its debts, it shall, on the date of acquisition, regard the share of the book value of the owner's equity of the acquired enterprise as the initial cost of the long-term equity investment. The difference between the initial cost of the long-term equity investment and the payment in cash, non-cash assets transferred as well as the book value of the debts borne by the acquiring party shall offset against the capital reserve. If the capital reserve is insufficient to dilute, the retained earnings shall be adjusted. If the consideration of the acquiring enterprise is that it issues equity securities, it shall, on the date of acquisition, regard the share of the book value of the owner's equity of the acquired enterprise as the initial cost of the long-term equity investment. The total face value of the stocks issued shall be regarded as the capital stock, while the difference between the initial cost of the long-term equity investment and total face value of the shares issued shall offset against the capital reserve. If the capital reserve is insufficient to dilute, the retained earnings shall be adjusted. B. For the combination not under the common control, the acquirer shall, on the acquisition date, measure the assets obtained and liabilities borne or assumed for a business combination in light of their fair values, and shall record the balances between them and their carrying amounts into the profits and losses at theBengang Steel Plates Co., Ltd. Interim Report 2009 45 current period. The acquirer shall recognize the positive balance of the acquisition costs over the fair value of the identifiable net assets it obtained from the acquiree as goodwill. When the acquisition cost is less than the fair value of identifiable net assets it obtained, the Company should review the fair value of the share of the acquired company’s identifiable net assets, and record the difference into income statement if the result of review is still in negative. (2) The initial measure of the long term equity investment other than from business acquisition: A. The initial cost of a long-term equity investment obtained by making payment in cash shall be the purchase cost which is actually paid. The initial cost consists of the expenses directly relating to acquiring the long term equity investment, taxes and other necessary expenses. B. The initial cost of a long-term equity investment obtained on the basis of issuing equity securities shall be the fair value of the equity securities issued. C. The initial cost of a long-term equity investment of an investor shall be the value stipulated in the investment contract or agreement except the unfair value stipulated in the contract or agreement. D. The initial cost of a long-term investment obtained by the exchange of non-monetary assets shall be ascertained in accordance with the Accounting Standards for Enterprises No. 7 – Exchange of Non-monetary Assets. E. The initial cost of a long-term equity investment obtained by recombination of liabilities shall be ascertained in accordance with Accounting Standards for Enterprises No. 12 – Debt Restructuring. 2) Subsequent measurement The Company adopts cost method for the long term investment in the company in which the Company has control and makes adjustment according to equity method when preparing consolidation. The Company adopts equity method for the long term investment in the company in which the Company has significant influence or joint control. For the long term investment in the company in which the Company has no significant influence and joint control, the Company adopts the cost method. Control refers to the rights to decide a company’s financial or operating policy and obtain the benefit from this company’s business activities. Directly holding or holding through its subsidiaries more than half of the invested company’s voting shares represent the Company can control the invested company. Holding less than half of the invested company’s voting share, but satisfying one of the following conditions, will be regarded as the controlling company, however, except for there is evidence representing the parent company cannot control the invested company: (1) Through the agreement with the other investors of the invested company, the Company holding more than half voting rights; (2) As per the invested company’s article of association or agreement, the Company has the right to decide the invested company’s financial and operating policy; (3) Has the right to remove most of the invested company’s members in board of directors or similar institutions; (4) Has the most voting right in invested company’s board of directors or similar institutions Joint control refers to the Company and other party controlling an operating activity together in accordance with an agreement, only existing when the Company and other party both agree on the important financial and operating decisions. Major influence is the power to influence the making of financial or operational decisions of an enterprise. However the decision-making is not under total control, neither jointly nor individually with other party. 3) Impairment At the balance sheet date, there is indication of impairment such as continuous decrease of market value or poor performance of the invested company’s operation, the net realizable value of the long term equity investment should be determined at the higher of fair value of the long term equity investment less any disposal charges and the net present value of the estimated future cash flow. When the net realizable value is less than the book value, an impairment provision should be made for long term equity investment, theBengang Steel Plates Co., Ltd. Interim Report 2009 46 impairment loss go the income statement. The impairment provision should not be reversed in future. The Company assesses the goodwill arisen from the business combination every year regardless whether there is indication of impairment. 10. Goodwill The goodwill arisen from business acquisition refers to the positive difference of consideration paid over the share of net identifiable assets obtained. Goodwill should be measured at the cost of initial measurement less any cumulative impairment loss. The Company performs an impairment assessment at the end of each year. In order to perform assessment on goodwill, the Company classifies goodwill arisen from business combination to relevant asset groups by using a reasonable method and classifies the goodwill which is difficult to be classified to a relevant asset group to a group of asset group. The Company apportions the book value of goodwill to asset group or group of asset group by the ratio of the fair value of asset group or group of asset group over the fair value of total asset group or group of asset group. When the fair value cannot be reliably measured, apportioning by the ratio of the book value of asset group or group of asset group over the book value of total asset group or group of asset group. When performing the impairment test on goodwill’s relevant asset group or group of asset group, if there is indication of impairment for the asset group or group of asset group, firstly performs an impairment test on the asset group or group of asset group excluding goodwill and calculates the collectible amounts and compares it to the book value to determine the impairment loss; then, performs a further impairment test on the asset group or group of asset group including goodwill, compares the collectible amounts to the book value of the asset group or group of asset group, if the collectible amounts are less than the book value of the asset group or group of asset group, recognizes the impairment loss according the following: 1) First deducts the book value of goodwill apportioned to asset group or group of asset group; 2) Then, deducts each asset’s book value by the ratio of the book value of each asset over the book value of asset group or group of asset group excluding the goodwill The deduction of the book value of the above assets is regarded as the impairment loss of each individual asset and recorded in income statement. The deducted book value of the asset cannot be less than the following: this asset’s fair value less any disposal charges; the present value of estimated future cash flow and zero. The unallocated impairment loss resulted from the above reasons should be allocated by the ratio of book value of other assets over the book value of asset group or group of asset group. Recognized impairment loss on goodwill should not be reversed in future. 11. Fixed Assets and Accumulated Depreciation 1) Standard The company’s fixed assets mean the intangible assets with more than one accounting year which were held for the purpose of manufacturing commodities, rendering of service, leasing, operation and management. 2) Valuation method of fixed assets Fixed assets should be recorded at the cost, and consider the influence amount of the disposal cost The cost of the procured fixed assets included the purchase price, import duties, delivery costs and insurance, and other expenditures necessary for bring the fixed assets to working condition for its intended use. The amount of a fixed asset contributed by an investor should be recorded on the value agreed upon by all the investors, except for the unfair value. Fixed assets are recognized when related income will inflow to the Company and related cost can be recognized. Continuing expenses related with fixed assets which can be recognized can be recorded as the cost of fixed assets, and stop recognized the replaced book value; otherwise, these expenses should be recorded as gain/loss of current period. 3) Fixed assets classification and depreciation Except for fully depreciated fixed assets that are still in use; and land that is revalued separately andBengang Steel Plates Co., Ltd. Interim Report 2009 47 recorded as a fixed asset item, other fixed assets should be depreciated. Straight line method is used. Details of classification, depreciation period, depreciation rate and residual value rate are as follows: Category of fixed assets Depreciation age (year) Annual depreciation ratio Residual Value Rate Houses & buildings 8-30 years 3.33%-12.5% 0% Equipment & machinery 2.4-9 years 10.778%-40.417% 3% Vehicle and other equipment 3-10.8 years 8.981%-32.333% 3% At the end of the period, the Company will check the estimated useful life, residual value rate, and depreciation way. If the checked estimated useful life is different from the past one, the company would change the useful of the fixed assets. If the checked estimated residual value is different from the past one, the company would change it. If the related income that comes from the fixed assets changes a lot, the deprecation way would be changed. 12. Construction-in-progress The construction in process (the “CIP”) means the capital construction and Renewal improvement project which is in progress. 1) The CIP valuation The construction project cost shall be confirmed according to actual expend. There into: Self-management project shall be valued according to direct materials, direct labor cost, direct construction fee; construction transferred to others shall be valued according to the payment of project price; Equipment setup project shall be valued according to the setup equipment price, setup expense, expense from the running-in of the project; Renewal improvement project shall be valued according to the book value before renewal, direct expense, running-in of the project, and administrate fee apportioned. 2) The time point of the CIP transfer into fixed asset The CIP constructed by us should be transferred to fixed asset when achieve the predetermined running condition. The cost should be confirmed according to the Project budget, actual cost of project and etc. And it also can be confirmed by estimation, the depreciation should be accrued in next month, the estimation should be adjusted when transacted the final accounts, but the accrued depreciation may not be adjusted. 13. The Intangible Assets Measurement 1) Initial Valuation Measurement of intangible assets The intangible assets shall be initially measured according to its actual cost. The cost of outsourcing intangible assets shall be the purchase price; the cost invested into intangible assets by investors shall be determined according to the conventional value in the investment contract or agreement, except for those of unfair value in the contract or agreement. The expenditure for the internal research and development shall be recognized as per the Company’s rules. 2) Amortization measurement and time of intangible assets We analyze and judge the service life of intangible assets, when it obtains intangible assets. As for the intangible assets with limited service life, we shall estimate the years of its service life, or the amount of the output or any other similar measurement unit, which constitutes its service life. If it is unable to forecast the period when the intangible asset can bring economic benefits to the enterprise, it shall be regarded as an intangible asset with uncertain service life. With regard to intangible assets with limited service life, its amortization amount shall be amortized within its service life systematically and reasonably. Intangible assets with uncertain service life may not be amortized. We shall, at least at the end of each year, check the service life and the amortization method of intangibleBengang Steel Plates Co., Ltd. Interim Report 2009 48 assets with limited service life. When the service life and the amortization method of intangible assets are different from those before, the years and method of the amortization shall be changed. We shall check the service life of intangible assets with uncertain service life during each accounting period. Where there are evidences to prove the intangible assets have limited service life, it shall be estimated of its service life, and be treated according to these Standards. 3)The Division standard of the development expenditures for research and development The development expenditures for its internal research and development projects of an enterprise may be confirmed as intangible assets when they satisfy the following conditions simultaneously: (1) It is feasible technically to finish intangible assets for use or sale; (2) It is intended to finish and use or sell the intangible assets; (3) The usefulness of methods for intangible assets to generate economic benefits shall be proved, including being able to prove that there is a potential market for the products manufactured by applying the intangible assets or there is a potential market for the intangible assets itself or the intangible assets will be used internally; (4) It is able to finish the development of the intangible assets, and able to use or sell the intangible assets, with the support of sufficient technologies, financial resources and other resources; and (5) The development expenditures of the intangible assets can be reliably measured. 14. Accounting Treatment of Borrowing Costs 1) Principle of the recognition of capitalized borrowing costs Where the borrowing costs incurred to an enterprise can be directly attributable to the acquisition and construction or production of assets eligible for capitalization, it shall be capitalized and recorded into the costs of relevant assets. Other borrowing costs shall be recognized as expenses on the basis of the actual amount incurred, and shall be recorded into the current profits and losses. The borrowing costs shall not be capitalized unless they simultaneously meet the following requirements: (1) The asset disbursements have already incurred, which shall include cash, transferred non-cash assets or interest bearing debts paid for the acquisition and construction or production activities for preparing assets eligible for capitalization; (2) The borrowing costs has already incurred; and (3) The acquisition and construction or production activities which are necessary to prepare the asset for its intended use or sale have already started. 2) The Stopped point of capitalization of borrowing costs When the qualified asset under acquisition and construction or production is ready for the intended use or sale, the capitalization of the borrowing costs shall be ceased. The borrowing costs incurred after the qualified asset under acquisition and construction or production is ready for the intended use or sale shall be recognized as expenses at the incurred amount when they are incurred, and shall be recorded into the profits and losses of the current period. 3) Method of calculating capitalized borrowing costs (1) Method of calculating specifically borrowing costs As for specifically borrowed loans for the acquisition and construction or production of assets eligible for capitalization, the to-be-capitalized amount of interests shall be determined in light of the actual cost incurred of the specially borrowed loan at the present period minus the income of interests earned on the unused borrowing loans as a deposit in the bank or as a temporary investmentBengang Steel Plates Co., Ltd. Interim Report 2009 49 (2) Method of calculating general borrowing costs Where a general borrowing is used for the acquisition and construction or production of assets eligible for capitalization, the enterprise shall calculate and determine the to-be-capitalized amount of interests on the general borrowing by multiplying the weighted average asset disbursement of the part of the accumulative asset disbursements minus the general borrowing by the capitalization rate of the general borrowing used. The capitalization rate shall be calculated and determined in light of the weighted average interest rate of the general borrowing. 15. Impairment of Assets The term "impairment of assets" refers to that the recoverable amount of assets is lower than its carrying value. The company accrues impairment of assets for the assets expect inventory, deferred income tax, monetary assets and the long-term investment with no bidding in the active market and no dependably measured fair value, which was calculated according to the following method: When recoverable value is less than carrying value, the carrying value of assets should be decreased to the recoverable value, the decreased amount should be recognized as loss on impairment of assets, recorded into current profit or loss, and accrue provision of impairment accordingly. The recoverable amount shall be determined in light of the higher one of the net amount of the fair value of the assets minus the disposal expenses and the current value of the expected future cash flow of the assets. This impairment cannot be reversed during the subsequent periods. There may be an impairment of assets when one of the following signs occurs: (1) The current market price of assets falls, and its decrease is obviously higher than the expected drop over time or due to the normal use; (2) The economic, technological or legal environment in which the enterprise operates, or the market where the assets is situated will have any significant change in the current period or in the near future, which will cause adverse impact on the enterprise; (3) The market interest rate or any other market investment return rate has risen in the current period, and thus the discount rate of the enterprise for calculating the expected future cash flow of the assets will be affected, which will result in great decline of the recoverable amount of the assets; (4) Any evidence shows that the assets have become obsolete or have been damaged substantially; (5) The assets have been or will be left unused, or terminated for use, or disposed ahead of schedule; (6) Any evidence in the internal report of the enterprise shows that the economic performance of the assets have been or will be lower than the expected performance, for example, the net cash flow created by assets or the operating profit (or loss) realized is lower (higher) than the excepted amount, etc.; and (7) Other evidence indicates that the impairment of assets has probably occurred. 16. Accounting Treatment for Accrued Payable 1) Principle of recognition: The obligation pertinent to a Contingency shall be recognized as an estimated debt when the following conditions are satisfied simultaneously, such as outside guarantee, discount of business acceptance, lawsuit for pending and Product quality guarantee: (1) That obligation is a current obligation of the enterprise; (2) It is likely to cause any economic benefit to flow out of the enterprise as a result of performance of the obligation; and (3) The amount of the obligation can be measured in a reliable way.Bengang Steel Plates Co., Ltd. Interim Report 2009 50 2) Measurement method: The estimated debts shall be initially measured in accordance with the best estimate of the necessary expenses for the performance of the current obligation. 17. Revenue Recognition 1) Revenue from the sale of goods should be recognized when all the following conditions have been satisfied: a. the enterprise has transferred to the buyer the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods; b. the enterprise retains neither continuing managerial involvement to the degree usually associated with ownership nor effective control over the goods sold; c. it is probably that economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the enterprise; and d. the relevant amount of revenue and costs can be measured reliably. 2) Rendering of services When the provision of services is started and completed within the same accounting year, revenue should be recognized at the time of completion of the services. When the provision of service is started and completed in different accounting years and the outcome of a transaction involving the rendering of services can be estimated reliably, and enterprise should recognize the service revenue at the balance sheet date using the percentage of completion method. 3) Revenue arising from the use by others of enterprise assets should meet the following requirements: a. It is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the enterprise; b. When the amount of the revenue can be measured reliably, interest should be measured based on the length of time for which the enterprise’s cash is used by others and the applicable interest rate; royalties fees should be measured according to the period and method of charging as specified in relevant contract and agreement. 18. Government Grants Government grants refers to monetary or non-monetary assets received by an enterprise from the government, but excludes capital invested in the Group by the government that gives the government ownership rights. Government grants are recognized where there is reasonable assurance that the grant will be received and all attaching conditions will be complied with. Monetary grants are measured on the basis of the amount received or the amount receivable. Non-monetary grants are being measured based on the fair value of relevant assets. Where the grant relates to an asset, the fair value is credited to a deferred income account and is released to the income statement over the expected useful life of the relevant asset by equal annual installments. Government grants relating to income are handled accordingly as follows: (i) Those to be used as compensation for future expenses or losses are recognized as deferred income and are be recorded in the profit and loss account for the period where the relevant expenses are recognized; or (ii) Those to be used as compensation for relevant expenses or losses already incurred are recorded directly in the profit and loss account for the current period. 19. Income tax The measurement of income tax adopts the balance sheet liability method. The tax base is determined when the assets and liabilities are initially recognized. A deferred tax asset or liability is recognized for the temporary difference arisen between the carrying amount and its tax base. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realized or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date. When the applied tax rate is changes, the recognizedBengang Steel Plates Co., Ltd. Interim Report 2009 51 deferred tax asset or liability should be re-measured. The influence of the tax rate change should be recorded as income tax expense, except for the deferred tax asset or liability arisen from the transactions or events which are directly recognized in equity. The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each balance sheet date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred tax asset to be utilized. Conversely, previously unrecognized deferred tax assets are reassessed at each balance sheet date and are recognized to the extent that it is probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred tax asset to be utilized. 20. Accounting Methods of Employees’ Benefits Employee benefits refer to all kinds of remunerations and other relevant reimbursements made by enterprises to their employees in exchange for services of employees. It includes wages and salaries, bonuses, allowances and subsidies, welfare expenses, Medical insurance, endowment insurance, unemployment insurance and other social insurances, housing benefits, Labor union expenditure and employee education expenses, non-monetary benefits, termination benefits, and other pension benefits directly relevant to services provided. 1) Share based payment Some employees have been granted by share base payment, which is measured by the fair value of the share. For these awarded that can be exercised immediately, it needs to be recognized as relevant costs or expenses according to equity instruments and increase share premium accordingly. For these only can be exercised when service fulfilled in the waiting period or met the defined performance condition, on each balance sheet date in the waiting period, based on the best estimate to quantity of equity instrument and the fair value on the date equity instruments awarded, the service obtained in the current period is recognized as relevant costs or expenses and share premium. The recognized relevant costs or expenses and owner’s equity will not be adjusted any longer after the date of exercise. 2) Termination Benefits Our company will terminate the employment of an employee or group of employees before the normal retirement date; or provide termination benefits as a result of an offer made in order to encourage voluntary redundancy. The enterprise will be demonstrably committed to a termination when, and only when, it has a detailed formal plan for the termination and is without realistic possibility of withdrawal. The provision incurred from compensation for the termination of labor relationship will be recognized to income statement of the current period. The treatment for the early retirement planning is on the same basis to that of the termination benefits. The salaries and the social insurance expenses for the period from the employee’s termination of service and the normal retirement of these staffs are recognized as employee benefits payable when meeting the above said retirement benefits recognition requirements, and recognized to income statement of the current period. 3) Other employee benefits During the accounting periods that our company is providing service, the benefits payable to employees are recognized as liabilities. Except termination benefits, according costs of products, costs of services and costs of assets will be recognized based on benefited objects where employee provide services. 21. Business combination (1) Business combination under common control As for business combination under common control, pooling of interest method is adopted. Except the adjustments for different accounting policies, the assets and liabilities obtained by the acquirer shall be measured on the basis of the carrying amount in the acquiree's accounts as at the date of combination. Where there is a difference between the carrying amount of the net assets acquired by the acquirer and theBengang Steel Plates Co., Ltd. Interim Report 2009 52 carrying amount of the consideration paid by it (or the total par value of the shares issued), capital surplus shall be adjusted. If the capital surplus is not sufficient to offset the value of the net assets acquired, retained earnings shall be adjusted. Any costs directly attributable to the combination are recognized as expenses when incurred. (2) Business combination involving entities not under common control As for business combination involving entities not under common control, combination by purchase method is adopted. The cost of combination is the aggregate of the fair values, at the acquisition date, of the assets given, liabilities incurred or assumed, and equity securities issued by the acquirer, in exchange for control of the acquiree. The acquirer shall measure the acquiree’s identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities acquired in the business combination at their fair values on the acquisition date. Where the cost of a business combination exceeds the acquirer’s interest in the fair value of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets, the difference shall be recognized as goodwill and the value shall be recognized as the cost of a business combination after deducting accumulated 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 shall be accounted as expenses after review. Any costs directly attributable to the combination are recognized as expenses when incurred. 22. Consolidation of Financial Statements The consolidation of consolidated financial statements is based on the financial statements of the Parent Company and its subsidiaries. Based on other relevant information, it is prepared by the Parent Company after adjustment to long-term equity investment to its subsidiaries according to equity method. 1) Scope of consolidation of consolidated financial statements The scope of consolidation of consolidated financial statements is determined based on control. A. The parent company directly, or indirectly, owns over more than one half of the voting rights, indicating the parent company can control the invested companies and recognize the invested companies as subsidiaries and to consolidate the invested companies into the scope of consolidation; but it excludes where the control not be evidenced by the parent company. B. The Parent Company owns over more than one half of the voting rights, and if one of the following conditions is met, it regarded that Parent Company can control the invested companies; the invested companies will be recognized as subsidiaries and to be consolidated into the scope of consolidation.

Calculation processes The above figures are the results calculated by the following formulas: Net income on asset, fully diluted Fully diluted net income on asset = P÷E In which: P = net profit attributable to common shareholders of the Company, or net profit attributable to common shareholders after deducting of non-recurring gain/loss E = Net asset attributable to the common share holders at end of year. “Net profit attributable to common shareholders” is not including gain/loss of minority shareholders; “Net profit attributable to common shareholders after deducting of non-recurring gain/loss” is based on the consolidated net profit after deducting of minority shareholders’ gain/loss, and deducting of the share of common shareholders of the Company of non-recurring gain/loss of the parent company (with considering of influences of income tax) and non-recurring gain/loss of subsidiaries (with considering of influence of income tax); “net asset attributable to the common shareholders end end of year” is not including the share of minority shareholders’ equity. Net income on asset, weighted Weighted average income on net asset ratio =P/(E0 + NP÷2 + Ei×Mi÷M0 - Ej×Mj÷M0±Ek ×Mk÷M0) In which: P is respectively corresponding to the net profit attributable to the common shareholders of the Company, and the net profit attributable to the common shareholders after deducting of non-recurring gain/loss; NP = net profit attributable to common shareholders E0 = net asset attributable to the common shareholders at beginning of year; Ei = newly added net asset attributable to common share holders due to placing of new shares or transferred from debt in the report term Ej = net asset attributable to common share holders decreased due to repurchasing or cash dividend M0 = number of months of the report term Mi = number of months from the next month of the newly added asset to the end of report term; Mj = number of months from the next month of the newly deducted net asset to the end of report term; Ek = change of net asset due to other trade or eventBengang Steel Plates Co., Ltd. Interim Report 2009 101 Mk = number of months from the next month of other change of net asset to the end of report term. Basic earnings per share Basic earnings per share = P÷S S= S0 + S1 + Si×Mi÷M0 - Sj×Mj÷M0-Sk In which: P = net profit attributable to common shareholders of the Company, or net profit attributable to common shareholders after deducting of non-recurring gain/loss S = weighted average of common shares issued in the market S0 = total of capital shares at beginning of year; S1 = increased shares due to capitalizing of common reserves or dividend Si = shares increased due to placing of new shares or transferred from debt in the report term Sj = shares decreased due to actions such as repurchasing in the report term SK = the amount of shares reduced M0 = number of months of the report term Mi = number of months from month next to the share increasing to the end of report term Mj = number of months from month next to the share decreasing to the end of report term Diluted gains per share ② Diluted earning per share=[P+(Diluting prospective common share interest recognized as expense - transfer expense)×(1-income tax rate)](/ S0 + S1 + Si×Mi÷M0 - Sj×Mj÷M0—Sk+ weighted average of common shares increased by term of subscription certificates, share future options, or convertible bonds) In which: P = net profit attributable to common shareholders of the Company, or net profit attributable to common shareholders after deducting of non-recurring gain/loss. At calculating of diluted earnings per share, the Company has considered the influences of the entire dilute potential common shares, until the diluted earnings per share had reached the minimum level.
