Semi-annual Report 2021 Section III Discussion and Analysis of the Management I. Principal Businesses of the Company during the Reporting Period Mr. Deng Yingzhong, founder of the Company, initiated his entrepreneurial process in 1978. Starting from intensive paper processing, the Company has developed into a leading household paper enterprise integrating R&D, production and sales after forty-three years of striving. With an adherence to its corporate values of “products need brands, enterprises need brands, and people need brands”, the Company has extended its products from household paper to cross-category household daily necessities including cotton series products, sanitary wipes, baby diapers, etc. Currently, the Company features three major brands, namely, Jie Rou, Sun, and Dolemi. Main products include paper rolls, coreless rolls, facial tissues, tissue handkerchiefs, wipes, personal care products, baby diapers, cotton tissues, etc. Product series involve Face series, Lotion series, Natural Wood series, Antibacterial Paper series, Jin Zun series, wipes, Sun series, Dolemi series, OKBEBE series, and Cotton Tissue series. Specifics are given in the following: 1. Household paper (Jie Rou brand + Sun brand) Face Series: Face wettable facial tissue is a feature product of the Company. Through constant quality upgrading, the newly developed four-layer thick facial tissues remain pliable and thick even when they are wet. One piece of this facial tissue is as thick as two pieces of average tissues, which optimizes the products’ user experience and fashion sense. In 2020, in order to better reflect the brand’s image and high-end style, the Company incorporated oil painting elements into its packaging and launched Face oil painting series products, which is called the “artwork of paper tissues”. Lotion Series: Lotion water retention facial tissues are characterized by the skin-friendly lotion and moisturizing factor. They feel soft and smooth, thanks to the water retention factors. This product is especially suitable for delicate skin and applicable to mothers and infants, people with nasal allergy, and people wearing makeup. Natural Wood Series: The Company launched the first noble yellow tissues (with low whiteness), “Jie Rou Natural Wood Series” in 2017, based on the consumption concepts of health and safety. Its soft and pliable texture is attributable to 100% imported raw wood pulp. Quality of the whole series is superb. Antibacterial Series: With the advent of the post-pandemic era in China, the Company introduced the antibacterial 9 C&S Paper Co., Ltd. Semi-annual Report 2021 series products in early 2021 in line with changes in consumption habits of consumers. The products contain antibacterial factors and have been proved with experiments to effectively reduce the growth of more than 99% of bacteria on paper tissues. They can effectively inhibit bacteria such as E. coli and staphylococcus aureus, thereby protecting the health of consumers. Jin Zun Series: Made from 100% imported raw wood pulp, Jin Zun products are thick, pliable, and cost-effective. Wipes: Wipe products of the Company are diversified, including mother and baby wipes, disinfection wipes, personal care wipes, kitchen wipes, and pure water wipes, which can meet the needs of consumers in different scenarios. Sun Series: The Company launched the new brand Sun in 2019 in conjunction with the 300,000-ton bamboo-pulp- paper integration project in order to accelerate the coverage of high-, mid- and low-end household paper markets in China and satisfy consumption needs at different levels. This initiated the Company’s “dual brand” business strategy. Sun is positioned to be a highly cost-effective product that has good quality yet lower prices. It is the key to raise the market share of the Company in the future. 2. Personal care products (Dolemi brand) Dolemi Series: In 2019, the Company launched a new personal care brand, Dolemi, to cater for upgrading consumption. The surface of Dolemi pads is made from natural cotton. The products feature two-way air circulation and are elastic, soft, and fit. Thanks to the good air circulation, consumers will feel at ease. They enable women pursuing better quality of life to experience “thin pads and get rid of side leakage”. OKBEBE Series: This care brand for newborn babies was rolled out in early 2021. Products include baby diapers and pull-up pants. With medical level high standards, the products are skin-friendly, breathable, dry and easy to absorb. They are dedicated to providing babies with safer and more comfortable growth experience, having passed the surveillance on six product performance indicators including allergenic microbial inspection and production environment bacteria. 3. Quality health products Cotton Tissue Series: In 2018, the Company stepped out of the household paper field and introduced the “Cotton Tissue“ products. The products feature 100% fresh cotton, complete physical processes, and unbleached. As being natural, healthy, soft, skin-friendly, and dry-wet dual use, they can be used for personal cleaning and care as cotton pads and face towels, especially by infants and women. Medical surgical masks: In response to the government’s call, the Company quickly initiated medical mask production and rolled out medical surgical mask products. The products are characterized by “high efficiency 10 C&S Paper Co., Ltd. Semi-annual Report 2021 filtration, low breathing resistance, and comfortable wearing”, and have passed the EU CE and US FDA certifications. Third-party laboratory testing from US, EU and Japan proves the products to have reached the highest quality standards of their kind. Other quality health products: In line with the Company’s strategic planning and market needs, the Company successively launched personalized products that are fit with consumer needs since 2020, including makeup removal wipes, feminine care wipes, alcohol disinfectant wipes, mouthwashes, disinfectant hand sanitizers, face wash towels, disposable sweat-absorbent wipes, insoles, etc. This enables the Company to form a diversified development pattern on the basis of pursuing high quality and individualization. Currently, the competition in China’s household paper industry is still fierce and industry concentration is increasing. With strengthened awareness on the concept of healthy living, consumers pay increasing attention to brands. Product quality is still a prominent concern in the industry. Amid all these, the Company has become one of the representative brands of high-end household paper in the market through continuous brand building and quality assurance, and robust production capacity layout and channel expansion. It is ranked among the first echelon in the household paper industry and is well recognized by consumers and capital markets. In addition, with an adherence to the value concept of “Only Care About You”, the Company continues to tap consumer needs and constantly upgrades and optimizes products with leverage on its strong R&D and innovation capabilities. The Company is committed to providing consumers with products of better quality, more comfort, and more tailored to their individual needs. The Company aims to achieve national product coverage which is underpinned by continuously improved product reputation among consumes and strengthened and consolidated brand awareness. II.

Structured Entities Controlled by the Company □ Applicable √ Not applicable X. Risks Faced by the Company and Countermeasures 1. Risk of great fluctuations in pulp prices Pulp is an international bulk raw material and its price is obviously affected by the world economic cycle. Pulp is the primary raw material of the Company’s production, accounting for 40%-60% of the total production costs. Therefore, substantial fluctuations in pulp prices pose a risk to the Company. The Company is equipped with a professional procurement team which, on the premise of ensuring normal production inventory, adjusts the purchase rhythm by professionally evaluating the future trend of pump boards and coordinating the market conditions of international pulp prices. The Company has cemented long-term supply contracts with pulp suppliers that have large production scale, abundant forest resources and advanced production technologies to ensure stable raw material procurement. It has established a global procurement network with purchases in Europe, North America, South America, etc. 2. Risk of exchange rate The import of machinery equipment and pulp and the export of products to overseas market of the Company are mainly settled in USD, HKD, and EUR. Since exchange rates fluctuate under the impact of the international economic situation, the Company faces exchange rate risks. The Company pays close attention to changes in the foreign exchange market on a daily basis and hedges against exchange losses brought by RMB depreciation or two-way fluctuations by adjusting the structure of foreign currency assets and liabilities and reducing overall foreign currency liabilities. In addition, the Company started to adopt the spot selling rate accounting for foreign currency transactions since 2015 in accordance with its actual needs and in compliance with foreign exchange requirements. In this way, the Company may choose to buy foreign currency and pay for the goods at a rate favorable to the Company at an appropriate time. 23 C&S Paper Co., Ltd. Semi-annual Report 2021 Furthermore, the Company hedges against and avoids exchange rate risks via centralized management of foreign exchange funds, purchase payment hedging, etc. based on changes in the foreign exchange market and actual development of the Company. With regard to exchange rate risk exposure, the Company also uses hedging and other financial tools to conduct reasonable risk management. 3. Risk of regional market competition Household paper is a vast market in China in terms of both geography and market space. Given the low unit value, transportation expenses taking up a large part of the sales price, and limitations of the transportation radius, the main competition in the household paper industry lies in regional markets. High-end, mid-end, and low-end products compete in regional markets, with the influence of spending power and consumption habit. Judging from the development trend of the industry, mid- and high-end household paper of national brands has more competitive edge. However, at present, some regional brands have an advantage in some regional markets. Compared with overseas counterparts, China’s household paper industry requires continued integration. The Company embraces production bases and a sales network across the country and offers mid- and high-end products under national brands. Nevertheless, it is inescapable from the risk of regional market competition. After years of development, the Company has become one of the leading companies in the domestic household paper industry. It has built a marketing network covering most prefecture (county) level cities and a production base with national presence. As a result, transportation costs can be effectively reduced and transportation efficiency effectively improved by shorting the distance with consumers. As the Company continues to deepen and expand sales channels, it will gradually cover untapped outlets. In the future, in response to market competition, the Company will strengthen channel sinking, increase market penetration, further expand its scale, and further improve its overall market competitiveness and shares. 4. Risk of industrial policies Stricter requirements have been raised for the papermaking industry in the aspects of scale, technology, equipment, and environmental protection, as multiple industry plans and supporting policies have been successively issued by relevant departments, including the Papermaking Industry Development Policy, the Notice on the Management of Elevated Source Pollution Discharge Permits in Thermal Power and Papermaking Industries and Pilot Cities of Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei Region, and the Opinions of China Paper Association on “Thirteenth Five-year” Development Plan of the Papermaking Industry. Particularly, a number of measures have been introduced through environmental protection policies to drive the all-round, coordinated, and sustainable development of the household paper industry, including 1) optimizing the industrial distribution to reasonably allocate resources and 24 C&S Paper Co., Ltd. Semi-annual Report 2021 promoting clean production to preserve the ecological environment; 2) pushing energy conservation and emission reduction to shut down outdated production facilities, and adjusting product structure and improving product quality; 3) developing resource-saving models to advocate green consumption; and 4) optimizing enterprise structure and driving M&A and restructuring. These policies are designated to strengthen household paper industry concentration, close backward production facilities, and optimize resource allocation. The Company, as an enterprise in the first echelon of the domestic household paper industry, is underpinned by national policies related to the sustainable development of the household paper industry. Precisely because of this, industrial policy adjustment, if any, will impact the production and operations of the Company to some extent. In the face of increasing stringent environmental protection policies, as a responsible domestic enterprise in the household paper industry, the Company and its subsidiaries strictly abide by environmental protection laws and regulations of the state and local governments. Production bases are equipped with state-of-the-art papermaking equipment, processing equipment and environmental protection treatment equipment and facilities, and adopt advanced environmental protection technologies. With continuous capital and technological inputs and improvement in pollution control of the production process, the Company strives to reduce environmental pollution and ensure green production. The Company will continue to optimize production efficiency in response to requirements of national industrial policies. 5. Risk of safe production Most of the materials involved in the household paper industry are flammable, including the main raw material of pulp, the main packing materials of plastic-film packing bags and cartons, the semi-finished product of body paper, and finished products. Due to the characteristics of low unit value and large market consumption, household paper manufacturers have to keep a mass of pulp, packing materials, and semi-finished and finished products from the entry of raw materials into the plant to the delivery of products to the market. Thus, fire can cause enormous losses to such manufacturers. In addition, a large number of production lines have been put into use, which may pose certain occupational health hazard and cause harm to the occupational health of employees. Even though the overall safe production risk of the Company is controllable, it still faces certain safe production risks. In view of this, the Company has formulated strict fire management regulations for raw materials and semi- finished and finished products, established a full-time safety management department, equipped adequate fire protection equipment in production areas, and bought full insurance for risky properties. As such, the Company’s fire safety risk is low. In response to possible occupational health hazards, the Company, at the equipment design and procurement 25 C&S Paper Co., Ltd. Semi-annual Report 2021 stages, requires suppliers to carry out intrinsic safety design and fulfill the protection measures during the installation process. At the same time, the Company has passed the ISO45001 occupational health and safety (OHS) management system and continues to maintain its effective operations to reduce the occupational health and safety risks of employees. 6. Risk of logistics transportation The spread of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 has hindered domestic and foreign logistics transportation by sea and land to varying degrees, affecting both the Company’s procurement and sales and upstream suppliers and downstream dealers. In other words, the Company has suffered from multiple dimensions. Though impacts of the pandemic are phased and temporary, risks are unavoidable for the Company as being at the mid- and downstream of the household paper industry chain. The Company has quickly formulated response strategies during the pandemic and actively coordinated supply chain allocation. In terms of supply, the Company flexibly adjusts supply area based on the optimal principle to guarantee adequate goods supply to customers. In terms of logistics, the Company implements integrated management for logistics and warehouses as well as production and sales under the premise of well taking safety precautions. Personnel in all positions are asked to stick to their posts and maintain close communication with sales to assure smooth logistics to the greatest extent. 26 C&S Paper Co., Ltd.

Accounting treatment measures of business combinations involving enterprises under common control and business combinations involving enterprises not under common control Business combinations refer to the combination of two or more independent enterprises to form a reporting entity of transactions or events. Business combination can be classified as business combinations involving enterprises under common control and business combinations involving enterprises not under common control. (1) Business combinations involving enterprises under common control Business combinations under common control means enterprises involved in the business combination are under ultimate control by one party or the same multi-parties before and after combination, and such control is not temporary. For business combinations under common control, those who obtain control of enterprises involved in the business combination on the combination date are the acquirer while other enterprises involved in the business combination are the acquiree. Combination date is the date that the combining party actually obtains control of the 105 C&S Paper Co., Ltd. Semi-annual Report 2021 combined party. Assets and liabilities that the acquirer gets from the acquiree are calculated and measured at the book values on the combination date. If there are differences between the book values of the net assets the acquirer receives and the book values of the combination consideration it pays (or the face values of the issued shares), the differences will be used to adjust capital reserves (share premium). Where capital reserves (share premium) are insufficient to offset, retained earnings shall be adjusted. All direct expenses related to the business combinations paid by the acquirer shall be included in current profits and losses upon occurrence. (2) Business combinations involving enterprises not under common control Business combinations not under common control means enterprises involved in the business combination are not under ultimate control by one party or the same multi-parties before and after combination. For business combinations not under common control, those who obtain control of enterprises involved in the business combination on the acquisition date are the acquirer, while other enterprises involved in the business combination are the acquiree. Acquisition date is the date that the acquirer actually obtains control of the acquiree. For business combinations not under common control, the costs of combination include the assets the acquirer pays, liabilities the acquirer bears, and the fair value of the equity securities issued on the date of combination for the acquisition of control over the acquiree. The costs of auditing, legal services, evaluation consulting, other intermediary expenses and other management fees incurred for business combination shall be included in current profits and losses. The transaction costs of the equity securities and debt securities issued by the acquirer shall be included in the initially confirmed amounts of equity securities and debt securities. The contingent consideration involved shall be included in the costs of business combination based on its fair value at the acquisition date. If, within 12 months after the acquisition, there is new or further evidence for conditions that have already existed on the acquisition date and the contingent consideration shall be re-adjusted, the combination goodwill shall be adjusted accordingly. The acquirer’s costs of business combinations and its identifiable net assets obtained from business combinations shall be assessed at the fair values on the acquisition date. If the costs of business combinations are higher than the identifiable net assets of the acquiree on the acquisition date, the gap between them shall be confirmed as goodwill. If the costs of business combinations are lower than the fair values of the identifiable net assets of the acquiree on the acquisition date, the fair values of identifiable assets, liabilities and continent liabilities as well as the measurement of combination costs shall be reassessed; if, upon reassessment, 106 C&S Paper Co., Ltd. Semi-annual Report 2021 the business combination costs are still lower than the fair values of the identifiable net assets of the acquiree, the difference shall be included in profits and losses of the current period. If the deductible temporary differences the acquirer gets from the acquiree are not eligible to be confirmed as deferred tax asset on the acquisition date, and within 12 months of the acquisition, there are new or further evidence for the conditions that have already existed on the acquisition date that the economic profits brought by the deductible temporary differences of the acquiree could be achieved, such differences shall be confirmed as deferred tax asset. At the same time, the goodwill shall be reduced. Where the goodwill is insufficient to be deducted, the gap between them shall be included in current profits and losses. Apart from the aforementioned situations, all deductible temporary differences confirmed to be relevant to the business combination shall be recorded in current profits and losses. For business combinations not under common control that are achieved through multiple steps, whether they can be regarded as package deals shall be judged in accordance with Notice No.5 of the Interpretation of Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises of the Ministry of Finance (C.K. [2012] No.19), and the standards of “package deals” set out in Article 51 of the Accounting Standard for Business Enterprises No. 33 – Consolidated Financial Statements (please refer to Note V (6) “methods for preparation of consolidated financial statements” (2)). In the event that the combination is regarded as “package deals”, accounting treatment shall be done by referring to the descriptions in previous paragraphs of this section and “Note V (22) Long-term equity investments” herein; if not, accounting treatment shall be done by distinguishing individual financial statements from consolidated financial statements:: In individual financial statements, the initial investment costs shall be the sum of the book value of the equity investment of the acquiree held before the acquisition date and the new investment costs on the acquisition date; if other comprehensive income is involved in the equities of the acquiree before the acquisition date, accounting processing shall be done for the comprehensive income related to this investment by adopting the same basis for directly disposing of relevant assets or liabilities of the acquiree during the disposal of this investment (that is, except for the corresponding shares of the changes caused by re-measurement of the net liabilities or net assets of the defined benefit plan by the acquiree, which are accounted by the equity method, others shall be transferred to the return on investment of the current period). In consolidated financial statements, the equities of the acquiree held before the acquisition date shall be re- measured at the fair value of the equities on the acquisition date, and the difference between the fair value and the 107 C&S Paper Co., Ltd. Semi-annual Report 2021 book value shall be recognized as the return on investment of the current period; if other comprehensive income is involved in the equities of the acquiree before the acquisition date, accounting processing shall be done for the comprehensive income related to this investment by adopting the same basis for directly disposing of relevant assets or liabilities of the acquiree (that is, except for the corresponding shares of the changes caused by re- measurement of the net liabilities or net assets of the defined benefit plan by the acquiree, which are accounted by the equity method, others shall be transferred to the return on investment of the current period). 6. Methods for preparation of consolidated financial statements (1) Principles of determining the scope of consolidated financial statements The scope of consolidation of consolidated financial statements shall be subject to the basis of control. Control refers to the power the investor owns against the investee, which allows the investor to enjoy the variable return by attending relevant activities held by the investee, and to be capable of using such power to affect the amount of return. The scope of consolidation is the Company and all of its subsidiaries. Subsidiaries refer to entities controlled by the Company. The Company shall reassess whether it controls an investee if facts and circumstances indicate that there are changes to the relevant elements of control as defined above. (2) Methods for preparation of consolidated financial statements The Company shall include the subsidiaries in the scope of consolidation from the date it acquires the actual control over the net assets and the decision-making of production and operations of such subsidiaries; accordingly, the Company shall terminate including them in the scope of consolidation from the date it loses the actual control. In terms of subsidiaries already disposed of, the operating results and cash flows before the disposal date have been included in the consolidated income statements and the consolidated cash flow statements appropriately; as for subsidiaries disposed in the current period, the opening balance in the consolidated balance sheet shall not be adjusted. In case of subsidiaries added through business combinations not under the same control, the operating results and cash flows after the acquisition date have been included in the consolidated income statements and the consolidated cash flow statements appropriately, and the opening and comparative balance in the consolidated balance sheet shall not be adjusted. In case of subsidiaries added through business combinations under the same control among which the Company absorbs the combined party, the operating results and cash flows of the combined party from the beginning of the period in which the combination happens to the combination date have 108 C&S Paper Co., Ltd. Semi-annual Report 2021 been included in the consolidated income statements and the consolidated cash flow statements appropriately, and the comparative balance in the consolidated balance sheet shall be adjusted simultaneously. In case of inconsistencies in the accounting policies or periods between subsidiaries and the Company during preparation of consolidated financial statements, financial statements of subsidiaries shall be adjusted according to the accounting policies and periods adopted by the Company. For subsidiaries acquired by business combinations not under the same control, their financial statements shall be adjusted based on the fair value of the identifiable net assets on the acquisition date. All major business transaction balance, transactions, and unrealized profit of the Company shall be offset during preparation of consolidated financial statements. Shareholders’ equities of subsidiaries and the part of the net profit and loss of the current period not attributable to the Company shall be presented separately under the shareholders’ equities and the net profit in the consolidated financial statements as equities of minority shareholders and minority shareholders’ profits and losses. Shares of equities of minority shareholders in the net profit and loss of the current period of subsidiaries shall be presented under the “minority shareholders’ profits and losses” in the consolidated income statement. If the loss of a subsidiary which is shared by its minority shareholders exceeds the minority shareholders’ share in the opening balance of the subsidiary, the minority interest shall be reduced. If the Parent Company loses control of a subsidiary due to partial disposal of equity investment or other reasons, it shall re-measure the remaining equity at fair value on the date of loss of control. The sum of consideration obtained from equity disposal and fair value of the remaining equity, minus the difference between the Parent Company’s share of the subsidiary’s net assets that is continuously calculated from the acquisition date, shall be recognized as investment income for the reporting period when the loss of control takes place. Accounting processing shall be done for the other comprehensive income related to this investment in the subsidiary’s equities by adopting the same basis for directly disposing of relevant assets or liabilities of the acquiree during the loss of control (that is, except for the changes caused by re-measurement of the net liabilities or net assets of the defined benefit plan by the previous subsidiary, others shall be transferred to the return on investment of the current period). After that, subsequent measurement shall be done for the remaining equity of this part as per relevant provisions in the Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises No. 2 - Long-term Equity Investment or the Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises No. 22 - Recognition and Measurement of Financial Instruments. See “Note V (22)” or “Note V (10)” for details. 109 C&S Paper Co., Ltd. Semi-annual Report 2021 If the Company disposes of investments in a subsidiary’s equities by steps via transactions until it loses control, it shall check whether these transactions from disposal of the investments in the subsidiary’s equities to the loss of control are package deals. If the terms, conditions, and economic effects of transactions on disposing of equity investment in the subsidiary conform to one or more of the following circumstances, that means these multiple transactions should be treated as package deals in accounting processing: 1) Those transactions are reached at the same time or after taking into consideration the influence of each other; 2) those transactions together produce a complete commercial outcome; 3) the occurrence of one transaction depends on the occurrence of at least one other transaction; 4) one transaction alone does not seem to be economical, but all those transactions are economical when are considered as a whole. If those transactions are package deals, each transaction shall be treated as a transaction that results in loss of control of the subsidiary in accounting processing. However, the difference between each disposal price before loss of control and the Parent Company’s share of the subsidiary’s net assets corresponding to the disposal investment shall be recognized as other comprehensive income in the consolidated financial statements and, upon loss of control, transferred to the profit and loss of the current reporting period. 7. Classification of joint operation arrangements and accounting treatment methods for joint operations: None 8. Criteria for recognition of cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, deposits that can be used for payment at any time, and short-term (due within three months from the acquisition date) investment held by the Company with high liquidity, easy to convert to cash in a known amount, and small risk of value changes. 9. Translation of transactions and financial statements denominated in foreign currencies (1) Methods for translation of transactions denominated in foreign currencies At the initial recognition of foreign currency transactions of the Company, foreign currency will be translated into the amount of standard currency for accounting at the spot exchange rate or its approximate exchange rate on the transaction date. However, the business of exchange of foreign currencies or transactions related to the exchange of foreign currencies, foreign currency will be translated into the amount of standard currency for accounting at the exchange rate actually adopted. (2) Methods for translation of monetary and non-monetary items in foreign currencies 110 C&S Paper Co., Ltd. Semi-annual Report 2021 On the balance sheet date, the foreign currency monetary items are translated at the spot exchange rate on that date. Exchange difference resulting from the difference between the spot exchange rate on the balance sheet date and that at the initial recognition or on the previous balance sheet date shall be recognized as the profit and loss of the current period. Non-monetary items that are measured at historical cost in foreign currencies shall still be converted at the spot exchange rate on the transaction date with the amount of standard currency for accounting unchanged. Non- monetary items that are measured at fair value in foreign currencies are translated using the foreign exchange rate at the date the fair value is recognized. The difference between the amount of standard currency for accounting after translation and the original amount of the standard currency for accounting shall be treated as a change in fair value (including the change in the exchange rate) and recognized as the profit and loss of the current period or other comprehensive income. (3) Methods for translation of foreign-currency financial statements Foreign-currency financial statements of overseas operations shall be translated into RMB financial statements by the following methods: The assets and liabilities in the balance sheet shall be converted at the spot exchange rate on the balance sheet date; except “undistributed profits”, all the other owner’s equity items are converted at the spot exchange rate at the time of occurrence. Income and expense items in the income statement shall be translated using the foreign exchange rates ruling at the dates of the transactions. Difference resulting from translation of foreign-currency financial statements by the above methods shall be recognized as other comprehensive income. Translation of comparative financial statements shall be subject to the above provisions. 10. Financial instruments When the Company becomes a party to a financial instrument contract, the financial instrument is confirmed to be either financial assets or financial liabilities. (1) Classification, recognition, and measurement of financial assets According to the business model of managing financial assets and the contractual cash flow characteristics of financial assets, the Company classified financial assets into the following categories: financial assets measured at the amortized cost, financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income and financial assets measured at fair value through profit and loss of the current period. Financial assets are measured at fair value upon initial recognition. For financial assets measured at fair value through profit and loss of the current period, transaction costs are directly included in profit and loss of the current 111 C&S Paper Co., Ltd. Semi-annual Report 2021 period. For other types of financial assets, related transaction costs are included in their initial recognized amounts. In terms of the accounts receivable or notes receivable arising from selling products or providing labor service without or not considering major financing component, the Company shall regard the expected consideration amount that it has rights to charge as the initial recognition amount. 1) Financial assets measured at amortized cost For the business model where the Company manages the financial assets carried at amortized cost, the Company aims to charge the contract cash flows, and the characteristics of the contract cash flows of this kind of financial assets are consistent with the basic lending arrangements. That is, cash flows generated on specified dates are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding. This kind of financial assets are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. Gain or loss arising from amortization or impairment is recognized in profit and loss of the current period. 2) Financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income The business model for the Company to manage this type of financial assets aims at both obtaining the contract cash flows and selling the financial assets, and the characteristics of the contract cash flows of this kind of financial assets are consistent with the basic lending arrangements. The Company measures this kind of financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income, but recognizes the impairment losses or gains, exchange profit and loss, and interest income calculated by the effective interest method as the profit and loss of the current period. Additionally, the Company designates some non-tradable equity instruments as financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income. The Company recognizes relevant dividend income from such financial assets as the profit and loss of the current period, and changes in fair value as other comprehensive income. When such financial assets are derecognized, the accumulated gains or losses previously recognized as other comprehensive income shall be transferred from other comprehensive income to retained earnings and not recognized as the profit and loss of the current period. 3) Financial assets measured at fair value through profit and loss of the current period All financial assets other than the other two preceding types are classified as financial assets measured at fair value through profit and loss of the current period. Moreover, at initial recognition, to eliminate or significantly reduce accounting mismatches, the Company may designate some financial assets as financial assets measured at fair value through profit and loss of the current period. Such financial assets shall be measured at fair value, and changes in fair value are recognized as the profit and 112 C&S Paper Co., Ltd. Semi-annual Report 2021 loss of the current period. (2) Classification, recognition, and measurement of financial liabilities At initial recognition, financial liabilities are classified into financial liabilities measured at fair value through profit or loss and other financial liabilities. For financial liabilities at fair value through profit and loss of the current period, transaction costs are directly included in profit and loss of the current period. For other types of financial liabilities, related transaction costs are included in their initial recognized amounts. 1) Financial liabilities measured at fair value through profit and loss of the current period Financial liabilities measured at fair value through profit and loss of the current period include tradable financial liabilities (including derivatives belonging to financial liabilities) and financial liabilities designated to be measured at fair value through profit and loss of the current period at initial recognition. Tradable financial liabilities (including derivatives that are financial liabilities) are subsequently measured at fair value, and changes in fair value -- except for those related to hedging accounting -- are recognized as profit and loss of the current period. For those that are designated as financial liabilities measured at fair value through profit or loss, the changes in fair value resulting from changes in the credit risk of the Company shall be recognized as other comprehensive income; besides, when such liabilities are derecognized, the amount of accumulative changes in fair value resulting from credit risk changes that are recognized as other comprehensive income shall be transferred to retained earnings. Other changes in fair value shall be recognized as the profit and loss of the current period. If the treatment of the credit risk changes in such financial liabilities by the above methods will result in expansion of the accounting mismatch in the profit and loss, the Company shall recognize all gains or losses in such financial liabilities (including the amount subject to the credit risk changes of the Company) as the profit and loss of the current period. 2) Other financial liabilities Except for financial liabilities resulting from financial asset transfers not meeting the conditions for derecognition or the continuous involvement in the transferred financial asset, or financial guarantee contracts, other financial liabilities shall be classified into the financial liabilities measured at amortized cost, which shall be subsequently measured at amortized cost, and the gains or losses resulting from derecognition or amortization shall be recognized as the profit and loss of the current period. (3) Recognition basis and measurement method of financial asset transfer Once one of the following conditions is met, the financial assets shall be derecognized: 113 C&S Paper Co., Ltd. Semi-annual Report 2021 1) The contract right to charge the cash flows of the financial assets is terminated; 2) the financial assets have been transferred, and almost all the risks and rewards of the ownership of the financial assets are transferred to the transferee; 3) the financial assets have been transferred, and the Company has given up the control over the financial assets although it does not transfer or retain almost all the risks and rewards of the ownership of the financial assets. If the Company has neither transferred nor retained almost all the risks and rewards of the ownership of the financial assets, and the Company does not waive its control of the financial assets, it shall recognize the relevant financial assets within the extent of its continuous involvement in the transferred financial assets and recognize the relevant liabilities. The continuous involvement in the transferred financial assets refers to the level of risk with which the Company is faced due to changes in the financial asset values. When overall transfer of financial assets meets the conditions for derecognization, the book value of the transferred financial assets and the difference between the consideration received due to transfer and the accumulative changes in fair value that is originally recognized as other comprehensive income shall be recognized as the profit and loss of the current period. When partial transfer of financial assets meets the conditions for derecognization, the book value of the transferred financial assets shall be apportioned to the fair value between the derecognized part and the recognized part, and the consideration received due to transfer and the difference between the accumulative changes in fair value that is originally recognized as other comprehensive income, which shall be apportioned to the derecognized part, and the apportioned book value as mentioned above shall be recognized as the profit and loss of the current period. When the Company sells financial assets with additional recourse or transfers the endorsed financial assets held, it shall check whether almost all the risks and rewards of the ownership of the financial assets are transferred. If the Company has transferred almost all the risks and rewards of the ownership of the financial assets to the transferee, it shall derecognize the financial assets; if the Company retains almost all the risks and rewards of the ownership of the financial assets, it shall not derecognize the financial assets; if the Company neither transfers nor retains almost all the risks and rewards of the ownership of the financial assets, it shall judge whether it has retained control over the assets and conduct accounting processing following the principles described in previous paragraphs. (4) Derecognition of financial liabilities If current obligations of the financial liabilities (or some of the liabilities) have been released, the Company shall 114 C&S Paper Co., Ltd. Semi-annual Report 2021 derecognize the financial liabilities (or some of the liabilities). Where the Company (borrower) and a lender sign an agreement to replace the existing financial liability by way of assumption of new financial liability with the terms of the new financial liability substantially different from those of the existing financial liability, it derecognizes the existing financial liability while recognizing the new financial liability. If the contract terms of the existing financial liability are materially changed in whole (or in part), the existing financial liability will be derecognized, and the financial liability after changes of terms will be recognized as a new financial liability. If a financial liability is derecognized in whole (or in part), the difference between the book value of the derecognized portion and the consideration paid (including the non-cash assets transferred out or the new financial liability assumed) is recognized as the profit and loss of the current period. (5) Offsetting financial assets and financial liabilities When the Company has the statutory right to offset the recognized amount of financial assets and financial liabilities, and this statutory right is currently enforceable, and the Company plans to net the financial assets or simultaneously realize the financial assets and pay off the financial liabilities, the financial assets and financial liabilities are presented in the balance sheet at the net amount after offsetting each other. Otherwise, financial assets and financial liabilities are presented separately in the balance sheet and are not offset against each other. (6) Methods for determining the fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities The fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. If there are active markets for a financial instrument, the Company establishes its fair value by using quotes in the active markets. Quotes in active markets refer to prices that are readily available on a regular basis from exchanges, brokers, trade associations, pricing service institutions, etc., and represent the prices of market transactions that actually occur in a fair trade. If there is no active market, the Company establishes fair value by using valuation techniques. Valuation techniques include reference to price used in recent market transactions between knowledgeable, willing parties, reference to the current fair value of other financial instruments that are substantially the same, discounted cash flow analysis, option pricing models, etc. During valuation, the Company adopts the valuation techniques that are applicable under current circumstances and supported by sufficient available data and other information, selects the input values that are consistent with the characteristics of the assets or liabilities considered by the market participants in the transaction of the relevant assets or liabilities, and preferentially uses the relevant observable inputs. Unobservable input values are used where the relevant observable input values are not available or are not practicable. 115 C&S Paper Co., Ltd. Semi-annual Report 2021 (7) Equity instruments An equity instrument refers to a contract that can prove the Company owns the remaining equity in the assets after deducting all liabilities. The Company’s issuance (including refinancing), repurchase, sales or cancellation of equity instruments are treated as changes in equities, and transaction costs related to equity transactions are deducted from equities. The Company does not recognize changes in the fair value of equity instruments. The distribution of dividends by equity instruments (including “interests” generated by instruments that are classified as equity instruments) during their period existence shall be treated as profit distribution. (8) Impairment of financial assets The financial assets for which the Company needs to recognize impairment losses are financial assets measured at amortized cost, debt instrument investments measured at fair value through other comprehensive income, and lease receivables, mainly including notes receivable, accounts receivable, and other receivables. In addition, for some financial guarantee contracts, impairment reserves are set aside and credit impairment losses are recognized as per the accounting policies described in this section. 1) Methods for recognizing impairment reserves Based on the expected credit loss, the Company sets aside provisions for impairment of the above items by methods (general method or simplified method) for measuring expected credit loss applicable to them and recognizes credit impairment loss. Credit loss refers to the difference between all contract cash flow receivables discounted at the original effective interest rate under the contract and all expected cash flow receivables, i.e., the present value of all cash shortages. Specifically, for financial assets that have been credit-impaired at the time of purchase or origin, the Company discounts the financial assets at the credit-adjusted actual interest rate. The general method for measuring expected credit loss means that the Company assesses on each balance sheet date whether the credit risk of financial assets has increased significantly since the initial recognition. If yes, the Company measures loss reserves at an amount equivalent to the expected credit loss in the entire duration; if not, the Company measures loss reserves at an amount equivalent to the expected credit loss in the next 12 months. The Company considers all reasonable and evidence-based information, including forward-looking information, when assessing expected credit loss; As for financial instruments with low credit risk on the balance sheet date, the Company measures the loss reserves according to the expected credit loss in the future 12 months, assuming that its credit risk has had no significant increase since its initial recognition. The Company chooses to measure loss reserves according to the 116 C&S Paper Co., Ltd. Semi-annual Report 2021 expected credit loss in the next 12 months or in the entire duration based on whether the credit risk has increased significantly since initial recognition. 2) Standards for judging whether credit risk has increased significantly since initial recognition If the probability of default (PD) of a financial asset in the expected duration recognized on the balance sheet date is significantly higher than that in the expected duration recognized at the time of initial recognition, the credit risk of the financial asset has increased significantly. Except for special circumstances, the Company determines whether credit risk has increased significantly since initial recognition by reasonably assessing the changes in the PD in the entire duration with the changes in the coming 12 months. 3) Portfolio method for assessing expected credit risk based on portfolios The Company assesses individual credit risk of financial assets with significantly different credit risks. Examples include the following: receivables from related parties; receivables that have disputes with counterparties or those involved in litigation or arbitration; there are obvious signs that the debtor is very unlikely to fulfill the repayment obligation. In addition to financial assets whose individual credit risk is assessed, the Company divides financial assets into different groups based on common risk characteristics, and assesses credit risk on a portfolio basis. 4) Accounting treatment methods for impairment of financial assets At the end of the reporting period, the Company calculates the expected credit loss of financial assets. If the expected credit loss is greater than the book value of its current impairment provisions, the difference is recognized as an impairment loss; if it is less than the current book value of the impairment provisions, the difference is recognized as impairment gains. 5) Methods for recognizing credit losses of financial assets a. Notes receivable The Company measures loss reserves for notes receivable at an amount equivalent to expected credit loss in the entire duration. The Company divides notes receivable into different portfolios based on their credit risk characteristics: Item Basis for determining the portfolio Banker’s acceptance Acceptors are banks with low credit risks. Trade acceptance The aging of trade acceptance is used as credit risk characteristics. b. Accounts receivable The Company measures loss reserves for accounts receivable without major financing component at an amount equivalent to expected credit loss in the entire duration. 117 C&S Paper Co., Ltd. Semi-annual Report 2021 The Company measures loss reserves for accounts receivable and lease receivables with major financing component at an amount equivalent to expected credit loss in the duration. Except for accounts receivable whose individual credit risk is assessed, the Company divides accounts receivable into different portfolios based on their credit risk characteristics: Item Basis for determining the portfolio Aging portfolio This portfolio uses aging of accounts receivable as credit risk characteristics. Related party portfolio This portfolio comprises amounts of related parties within the consolidated scope. c. Other receivables The Company adopts the amount equivalent to the expected credit loss in the coming 12 months or in the entire duration to measure impairment losses based on whether the credit risk of other receivables has increased significantly since initial recognition. Except for other receivables whose individual credit risk is assessed, the Company divides other receivables into different portfolios based on their credit risk characteristics: Item Basis for determining the portfolio Aging portfolio This portfolio uses aging of other receivables as credit risk characteristics. Related party portfolio This portfolio comprises amounts of related parties within the consolidated scope. 11. Notes receivable For details, please refer to 10. Financial instruments in V.

Significant Accounting Policies and Accounting Estimates of Section X. 15. Inventories (1) Classification of inventories 118 C&S Paper Co., Ltd. Semi-annual Report 2021 Inventories mainly include raw materials, goods in process, materials for consigned processing, commodity stocks, packages, and low-value consumables. (2) Pricing methods for inventory acquisition and delivery Inventories are priced at actual cost when they are acquired. Inventory costs include procurement costs, processing cost, and other costs. Inventories are priced by the weighted average method during receipt and delivery. (3) Methods for recognition of the net realizable value of inventories and the provisions for impairment of inventories The net realizable value refers to the amount of the estimated selling price of the inventory minus the estimated cost, estimated selling expenses, and related taxes and fees at the time of completion in daily activities. When recognizing the net realizable value of inventories based on the substantial evidence obtained, the Company also considers the purpose of holding the inventories and the impact on matters after the balance sheet date. On the balance sheet date, inventories are measured at the lower of costs and the net realizable value. When the net realizable value is lower than costs, the Company sets aside provisions for inventory impairment. Provisions for inventory impairment are set aside based on the difference between the cost of individual inventory item and its net realizable value. After provisions for the inventory impairment are set aside, if the influencing factors in previous write-down of the inventory value disappear, causing the net realizable value of the inventory to be higher than its book value, it shall be reversed within the amount of the provisions for inventory impairment that have been set aside and recognized as the profit and loss of the current period. (4) The perpetual inventory system is adopted for the inventories. (5) Amortization method for low-value consumables and packages The one-time amortization method is adopted for low-value consumables and packages upon receipt. 16. Contract assets: None 17. Contract costs: None 18. Assets held for sale The Company classifies non-current assets or a disposal group as held for sale (including exchange of non- monetary assets with commercial substance, the same below) if their book values are recovered principally 119 C&S Paper Co., Ltd. Semi-annual Report 2021 through disposal rather than through continuing use. Specifically, the following conditions shall be met simultaneously: A certain non-current asset or disposal group can be sold immediately under the current conditions according to the practice of selling such assets or disposal groups in similar transactions; the Company has made a resolution of an offer and obtained the purchase commitment; the sale is expected to be completed within one year. Among them, the disposal group refers to a group of assets that are disposed of as a whole through sale or other means in a transaction, and the liabilities directly related to these assets that are transferred in the transaction. If the asset group or the combination of asset groups to which the goodwill (obtained from business combination) has been allocated in accordance with the Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises No. 8 -- Impairment of Assets, the disposal group shall include the goodwill allocated to it. During initial measurement or re-measurement of the non-current assets and disposal groups classified into held- for-sale assets on the balance sheet date, if the book value of such assets is higher than the net value deducting the cost of offer, the book value is written down to the recoverable amount by the Company, the written-down amount is recognized as profit and loss of the current period and impairment provisions are set aside at the same time. For the disposal group, the recognized asset impairment loss is first deducted from the book value of the goodwill in the disposal group, and then deducted in proportion from the book value of non-current assets specified in the applicable Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises No. 42 - Non-Current Assets and Disposal Groups Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations (hereinafter referred to as the “Standards for Assets Held for Sale”). If the fair value of the disposal group held for sale on the subsequent balance sheet date increases after deducting the selling expenses, the previously written down amount shall be restored, and reversed within the amount of the asset impairment losses recognized for non-current assets as per the Standards for Assets Held for Sale applicable after the assets are classified into those held for sale, and the reversed amount shall be recognized as the profit and loss of the current period. Besides, the book value of the reversed amount shall be increased in proportion according to the proportion of the book value of the non-current assets specified in the Standards for Assets Held for Sale applicable to those except for the goodwill in the disposal group. The book value of the goodwill that has been deducted, and the asset impairment losses recognized before the non-current assets are classified into assets held for sale as per the Standards for Assets Held for Sale shall not be reversed. Non-current assets held for sale and non-current assets in the disposal group are not subject to depreciation or amortization. Interest and other expenses on liabilities in the disposal group held for sale continue to be recognized. When the non-current assets or disposal group no longer meets the conditions for classification into the assets held 120 C&S Paper Co., Ltd. Semi-annual Report 2021 for sale, the Company no longer classifies them into the category or removes the non-current assets from the disposal group held for sale, and measures them at the lower of the following two: (1) in terms of the book value before classification into assets held for sale, for which the measurement standard is the amount after adjustment according to the depreciation, amortization, or impairment that should have been recognized under the assumption that they are not classified into assets held for sale; and (2) the recoverable amount. 19. Investments in creditor’s rights: None 20. Other investments in creditor’s rights: None 21. Long-term receivables: None 22. Long-term equity investments The long-term equity investments herein refer to the long-term equity investments in which the Company has control, joint control, or significant influence on the investee. Long-term equity investments where the Company has no control, joint control, or significant influence on the investee are accounted as financial assets measured at fair value through profit and loss of the current period. Among them, for those that are non-tradable, the Company may choose to designate them as the financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income for accounting during initial recognition. See “Note V (10)” for their detailed accounting policies. Joint control refers to the common control over a particular arrangement according to relevant agreement, and that the decisions on relevant activities under such arrangement are subject to the unanimous consent from the parties sharing the joint control. Significant influence means having the power to participate in the financial and operating policy decision-making of the investee, but cannot control or, together with other parties, jointly control the formulation of these policies. (1) Determination of investment cost For long-term equity investments obtained from combination of enterprises under common control, the share of the combined party’s owner’s equity in the book value of the consolidated financial statements of the final controlling party which is acquired on the combination date shall be regarded as the initial investment cost for long-term equity investments. The capital reserves shall be adjusted if there is difference between the initial investment cost of long-term equity investment and the cash paid, the transferred non-cash assets, and the book value of the debts assumed; if the capital reserve is insufficient to offset, the retained earnings shall be adjusted. If the equity securities issued are used as the combination consideration, the share of the combined party’s owner’s 121 C&S Paper Co., Ltd. Semi-annual Report 2021 equity in the book value of the consolidated financial statements of the final controlling party which is acquired on the combination date shall be regarded as the initial investment cost for long-term equity investments; the total book value of the shares issued shall be the share capital; the capital reserves shall be adjusted if there is difference between the initial investment cost of long-term equity investments and the total book value of the shares issued; if the capital reserves are insufficient to balance the difference, retained earnings shall be adjusted. For long-term equity investments obtained from combination of enterprises under different control, the combination costs on the acquisition date shall be used as the initial investment costs of the long-term equity investment; the combination costs include the sum of the assets paid by the acquirer, the liabilities incurred or assumed, and the fair value of the equity securities issued. Intermediary expenses such as auditing, legal services, assessment and consulting and other related management expenses incurred by the combining party or acquirer for the business combination shall be recognized as the profit and loss of the current period. Other equity investments except for long-term equity investments formed via business combination are initially measured at cost. Subject to the way the long-term equity investments are obtained, the costs shall be recognized based on the cash actually paid by the Company for acquisition, the fair value of the equity securities issued by the Company, the value agreed in the investment contract or agreement, the fair value or original book value of the assets swapped out in a non-monetary asset exchange transaction, and the fair value of the long-term equity investment itself. Expenses, taxes, and other necessary expenditures directly related to acquisition of long-term equity investments are also recognized as investment costs. (2) Subsequent measurement and recognition of profit and loss If the Company has common control or significant influence over the investee (except for constituting co- proprietors), the long-term equity investment shall be accounted for by using the equity method. Additionally, the Company’s financial statements apply the cost method for long-term equity investments that can make control in the investee 1) Long-term equity investments accounted for using the cost method When the cost method is used, the long-term equity investments are calculated according to the initial investment cost. In the event that the investment is added or recovered, the cost of the long-term equity investments shall be adjusted. With the exception of the price actually paid at the acquisition of investment or cash dividends or profits included in consideration, declared but not issued yet, the return on investment of the current period shall be recognized according to the cash dividends or profits declared to be issued by the investee. 122 C&S Paper Co., Ltd. Semi-annual Report 2021 2) Long-term equity investments accounted for using the equity method When using equity method, if the initial investment cost of long-term equity investments is greater than the fair value share of the identifiable net assets entitled of the investee at the time of investment, the initial investment of the long-term equity investments shall not be adjusted. If the initial investment cost of long-term equity investments is lower than the fair value share of the identifiable net assets entitled of the investee at the time of investment, the difference shall be recognized as profit and loss of the current period and the cost of the long-term equity investments shall be adjusted at the same time. When the equity method is used, return on investment and other comprehensive income shall be respectively determined based on the share of net profit or loss and other comprehensive income realized by the investee that shall be attributable or assumed, and the book value of long-term equity investments shall be adjusted at the same time. Attributable share shall be calculated based on the profit or cash dividends declared by the investee and the book value of long-term equity investments shall be accordingly decreased. In respect to other changes of owner’s equity of the investee in addition to net profit or loss, other comprehensive income and profit distribution, the book value of long-term equity investments shall be adjusted and recognized as capital surplus. When confirming the share of the investee’s net profit and loss, the Company shall confirm the investee’s net profit after adjustment based on the fair value of the identifiable net assets of the investee at the acquisition of the investment. Where the accounting policy and accounting period adopted by the investee differs from those of the Company, the investee’s financial statements shall be adjusted according to the Company’s accounting policy and accounting period, and the return on investment and other comprehensive income shall be recognized accordingly. Where the transactions are between the Company and the associates and joint ventures, and the assets that are invested or sold do not constitute business, unrealized internal transaction profits and losses incurred between the Company and the associates and joint ventures shall be offset with the part attributable to the Company which is calculated on a due pro-rata basis, and the return on investment shall be recognized on this basis. However, unrealized internal transaction losses incurred between the Company and the investees shall not be offset if they fall under the impairment losses on assets transferred. When confirming the limit of net loss incurred by the investee, the limit is the extent that the book value of the long-term equity investments and other long-term equity that substantially constitutes a net investment in the investment target is written down to zero. Additionally, if the Company has obligations to assume additional losses of the investee, provisions are recognized according to the expected obligation, and recognized as investment losses for the period. Where the investee records net profit in the future, the Company resumes and 123 C&S Paper Co., Ltd. Semi-annual Report 2021 recognizes the profit-sharing amount after such amount makes up the unrecognized loss-sharing amount. 23. Investment property Measurement model for investment property Measurement by the cost method Depreciation or amortization method Investment properties are real estate held to generate rental income or earn capital gains or both. Investment properties include land use rights leased out, land use rights held for transfer after appreciation, buildings leased out, etc. Investment property is initially measured at cost. Subsequent costs are included in the investment property’s cost only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Company and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. Other subsequent costs are recognized as profit and loss of the current period when incurred. The Company adopts the cost model for subsequent measurement of investment property, and depreciates or amortizes it according to policies consistent with those for buildings or land use rights. Impairment test method and impairment provision method for investment property are detailed in “Note V (31)”. Investment properties are derecognized when they are disposed of or permanently withdrawn from use and it is expected that no economic benefit can be generated from its disposal. The income from selling, transferring, writing off or destroying investment property, less its book value and relevant taxes and fees, is recognized as profit and loss of the current period. 24. Fixed assets (1) Recognition conditions Fixed assets are tangible assets with a useful life of more than one accounting year that are held for production or supply of goods or labor services, for rental to third parties, or for use in the organizations. Fixed assets shall only be recognized when relevant economic interest may flow into the Company and costs thereof can be reliably measured. Fixed assets shall be initially measured at cost and by taking into account the impact of estimated disposal expense. 124 C&S Paper Co., Ltd. Semi-annual Report 2021 (2) Depreciation method Type Depreciation method Depreciation life Residual value rate Annual depreciation rate 3.00%, 3.17% to 9.00%, Properties and buildings Straight-line depreciation 10 to 30 years 5%. 10% 9.50% 4.50%, 4.75% to 45.00%, Equipment Straight-line depreciation 2 to 20 years 5%. 10% 47.50% 6.43%, 6.79% to 18.00%, Motor vehicles Straight-line depreciation 5 to 14 years 5%. 10% 19.00% 11.25%, 11.88% to Office equipment Straight-line depreciation 3 to 8 years 5%. 10% 30.00%, 31.67% 18.00%, 19.00% to Production equipment Straight-line depreciation 2 to 5 years 5%. 10% 45.00%, 47.50% Estimated residual value refers to the current amount where, supposed the service life of a fixed asset has expired and it is in the expected status of such expiration, the Company obtains from the disposal of such asset after the estimated disposal expense is deducted. (3) Determination basis, pricing method and depreciation method of fixed assets acquired under finance leases Leases of assets where substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred are classified as finance leases. Title may or may not eventually be transferred. The fixed asset leased in through finance leases adopts the same depreciation policy self-owned fixed assets. If it can be reasonably ascertained that the ownership of the asset leased can be obtained by the expiration of the tenancy, the asset is depreciated over its service life; if not, the asset is depreciated over the shorter of the tenancy and the service life of the leased asset. 25. Construction work in process Construction work in progress is measured at actual project expenditure, comprising project expenditure incurred during construction and other necessary cost incurred. The Company’s Construction work in progress is transferred to fixed assets when the assets are ready for their intended use. If the fixed assets under construction have reached the expected usable status but have not yet completed the final account for completed project, they shall be recognized as fixed assets according to the estimated value, and accrue depreciation. After the completion of the final account for completed project, the original estimated value is adjusted according to the actual cost, but the original accrued depreciation amount is not adjusted. Impairment test method and impairment provision method for Construction work in progress are detailed in “Note V (31)”. 26. Borrowing costs Borrowing costs include interest on borrowings, amortizations of discounts or premiums, incidental expenses, 125 C&S Paper Co., Ltd. Semi-annual Report 2021 exchange difference resulting from foreign-currency borrowings, etc. The borrowing costs that can be directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of an asset eligible for capitalization shall be capitalized if the capital expenditures have been incurred, the borrowing costs have been incurred, or the necessary purchase, construction or production activities to make the asset reach the expected available or marketable state have begun. When the assets with the purchase, construction or production meeting the capitalization conditions reach the expected available or marketable state, they cease to be capitalized. Any other borrowing costs are recognized as an expense in the period when they are incurred. The amount of interest that shall be capitalized is determined based on the interest expenses incurred in the period when a specifically borrowed fund is obtained less any income earned on the unused borrowing fund as a deposit in a bank or as a temporary investment. Where funds are borrowed for a general purpose, the amount of interest that shall be capitalized is determined by multiplying the part of the accumulative asset disbursements in excess of the weighted average asset disbursement for the specifically borrowed fund by the capitalization rate of the general borrowing used. The capitalization rate is the weighted average interest rates applicable to the general- purpose borrowings. During the capitalization, all exchange differences arising from earmarked foreign-currency borrowings shall be capitalized; exchange differences arising from general-purpose foreign-currency borrowings shall be recognized as profit and loss of the current period. Assets eligible for capitalization refer to assets such as fixed assets, investment real estates and inventories that can reach the expected available or marketable status after a long period of purchase, construction or production activities. If the acquisition, construction or production of an asset eligible for capitalization is continuously suspended for over three months for abnormal reasons, capitalization of the borrowing costs shall be suspended, until the acquisition, construction or production of the asset is resumed. 27. Biological assets: None 28. Oil & gas assets: None 29. Right-of-use assets (1) Recognition methods Under the new lease standards, except for short-term leases and low-value asset leases, the lessee will no longer distinguish financial leases and operating leases. All leases adopt the same accounting methods, and right-of-use assets and lease liabilities need to be recognized. Right-of-use assets refer to the right of the Company as the lessee to use the leased assets during the term of lease. 126 C&S Paper Co., Ltd. Semi-annual Report 2021 (2) Accounting treatment methods The right-of-use asset is measured at cost at the commencement date. The cost of right-of-use asset comprises: the amount equal to the lease liability at its initial recognition; lease payments made at or before the commencement of the lease, less any lease incentives received; any initial direct costs incurred by the lessee; an estimate of costs to be incurred by the lessee in dismantling and removing the underlying asset, 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. The Company as the lessee recognizes and measures the aforementioned dismantling, restoration and other costs in accordance with Accounting Standard for Business Enterprises No. 13 - Contingencies. Subsequent adjustments are made for any remeasurement of lease liabilities. The straight-line method is used to accrue depreciation. For right-of-use assets, if it is reasonably ascertained that the ownership of the asset will be transferred to the lessee at the end of the lease term, then depreciation period runs to the end of the useful life of the lease asset. If it cannot be reasonably ascertain that the ownership of the asset leased will be transferred to the lessee at the end of the lease term, then depreciation period runs to the earlier of the end of the useful life of the asset or the end of the lease term. Impairment test method and impairment provision method for right-of-use assets are detailed in “Note V (31)”. For short-term leases and low-value asset leases, the Company may choose not to recognize as right-of-use assets but as the cost of the related asset or as profit and loss of the current period in accordance with the straight-line method or other systematically reasonable methods during each period of the lease. 30. Intangible assets (1) Pricing method, service life, and impairment test Intangible assets refer to identifiable non-monetary assets without physical substance owned or controlled by the Company. Intangible assets are initially measured at cost. Costs of intangible assets are included in intangible assets’ book value, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Company and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. Other costs of intangible assets are recognized as profit and loss of the current period when incurred. Land use rights acquired are generally accounted for as intangible assets. With respect to self-built buildings including plants, the relevant land use right expenses and buildings’ construction costs are accounted for as 127 C&S Paper Co., Ltd. Semi-annual Report 2021 intangible assets and fixed assets, respectively. For purchased houses and buildings, the price paid is distributed between the land use right and the building. If it is difficult to distribute, it shall all be included in fixed assets. From the beginning of use of intangible assets with finite service life, the accumulated amount of the original value less estimated net residual value and the provisions for asset impairment set aside shall be amortized evenly in stages by straight-line method over their service life. Intangible assets with uncertain service lives are not amortized. The Company reviews the service life and amortization method of intangible asset with finite service life at the end of the reporting period, and a change therein (if any) shall be accounted for as a change in accounting estimates. Additionally, the Company reviews the service life and amortization method of intangible asset with uncertain service life. If there is evidence that the period when it brings economic benefits to the enterprise is foreseeable, its service life shall be estimated and it is amortized according to the amortization policy for intangible assets with finite service life. Impairment test method and impairment provision method for intangible assets are detailed in “Note V (31)”. (2) Accounting policy for expenditure on internal research and development The Company classifies the expenditure on an internal research and development project into expenditure on the research phase and expenditure on the development phase. Expenditure on the research phase is recognized as profit and loss of the current period when incurred. Expenditure on the development phase is recognized as intangible asset when all the following criteria are met, while expenditure in the development phase that does not meet the following criteria is recognized as profit and loss of the current period when incurred: 1) technically feasible to complete the intangible asset so that it will be available for use or sale; 2) the intention to complete the intangible asset and use or sell it; 3) how the intangible asset will generate probable future economic benefits. Among other things, the Company can demonstrate the existence of a market for the output of the intangible asset or the intangible asset itself or, if it is to be used internally, the usefulness of the intangible asset; 4) the availability of adequate technical, financial and other resources to complete the development and the ability to use or sell the intangible asset; 5) the ability to measure reliably the expenditure attributable to the intangible asset during the development. Where the expenditure on research and development incurred cannot be classified into the expenditure on research 128 C&S Paper Co., Ltd. Semi-annual Report 2021 phase or the expenditure on development phase, it shall be recognized as profit and loss of the current period when incurred. 31. Long-term asset impairment The Company determines on the balance sheet date whether there is any indication that the non-current and non- financial assets may have been impaired, including fixed assets, construction work in progress, intangible assets with limited service life, and investment properties measured using the cost model, and long-term equity investments in subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates. If there is any indication that the asset is likely to be impaired, the Company will estimate the recoverable amount and carry out the impairment test. Impairment tests shall be conducted each year for goodwill and intangible assets with uncertain service life and not yet in use, whether or not there is any indication of impairment. If an impairment test shows that the recoverable amount of an asset is lower than its book value, the difference is recognized as a provision for impairment and recognized as the impairment loss. The recoverable amount is determined based on the higher of the net amount of the fair value of the asset minus the disposal expenses and the present value of the expected future cash flow of the asset. The fair value of asset is determined according to the price of the sales agreement in fair trade. If there is no sales agreement but an active market for the asset, the fair value is determined according to the price offered by the buyer for the asset. If there is neither sales agreement nor active market for the asset, the fair value of the asset shall be estimated based on the best information available. The disposal costs include legal fees, relevant taxes and fees, as well as handling fees related to the disposal of asset, and the direct costs incurred to ensure the asset reaches the marketable state. The present value of the expected future cash flow of an asset shall be determined by the discounted cash at an appropriate discount rate, on the basis of the expected future cash flow generated during the continuous use or final disposal of an asset. Provisions for asset impairment are calculated and recognized on an individual basis. If it is difficult to estimate the recoverable amount of individual assets, the Company will determine the recoverable amount of the asset group on the basis of the asset group to which the asset belongs. Asset group refers to the smallest asset portfolio which can independently generate cash inflows. When an impairment test is performed on the goodwill separately listed in the financial statement, book value of such goodwill is apportioned to the asset group or combination of asset groups that can benefit from the synergy effect of business combination. If the test result shows that the recoverable amount of the asset group or combination of asset groups is lower than their book value, corresponding impairment losses on goodwill will be 129 C&S Paper Co., Ltd. Semi-annual Report 2021 recognized. The impairment loss shall first offset against the book value of goodwill that is apportioned to asset group or a combination of asset groups, and then offset against the book value of assets excluding goodwill in the asset group or the combination of asset groups on a pro-rata basis according to the proportion of their book value. Once the aforementioned asset impairment loss is recognized, it will not be reversed in subsequent accounting periods even if the value can be recovered. 32. Long-term unamortized expenses Long-term unamortized expenses are expenses which have been incurred but shall be amortized over a period longer than one year, including the reporting period and the future periods. Long-term unamortized expenses shall be amortized based on the straight-line method over the expected benefit period. 33. Contract liabilities A contract liability is the Group’s obligation to transfer goods or services to a customer for which the Group has received consideration from the customer. Contract assets and liabilities within a single contract should be presented on a net basis. If the net amount is debit balance, it shall be presented in the item of “contract assets” or “other non-current assets” based on its liquidity. If the net amount is credit balance, it shall be presented in the item of “contract liabilities” or “other non-current liabilities” based on its liquidity. 34. Employee remuneration (1) Accounting treatment method for short-term remuneration Short-term remuneration includes salaries, bonuses, allowances and subsidies, employee welfare, medical insurance fees, maternity insurance fees, employment injury insurance fees, housing provident funds, labor union fees, staff education funds, and non-monetary welfare. The Company shall, within the accounting period when its employees provide service, recognize actual short-term remuneration as liabilities which shall be recognized as profit and loss of the current period or relevant asset costs. Wherein, non-monetary benefits are measured at fair value. 130 C&S Paper Co., Ltd. Semi-annual Report 2021 (2) Accounting treatment method for post-employment benefits Post-employment benefit includes basic endowment insurance, unemployment insurance, etc. It also includes defined contribution plans. Where defined contribution plans are adopted, the corresponding amount payable shall be recognized as profit and loss of the current period or relevant asset costs in which it is incurred. (3) Accounting treatment method for dismissal benefits If the Company terminates the labor relationship with an employee before the employee’s labor contract expires, or proposes to give the employee compensation for encouraging the employee to voluntarily accept dismissal, the liabilities arising from the compensation giving to the employee for the termination of the labor relationship with the employee shall be recognized as profit and loss of the current period, when the Company cannot unilaterally withdraw the termination of the labor relationship plan or the dismissal proposal, or when it recognizes the costs related to the restructuring of the payment of the dismissal benefits, whichever is earlier. However, if it is expected that the dismissal benefits cannot be paid in full within twelve months after the end of the annual reporting period, they shall be accounted for according to other long-term employee remunerations. Internal retirement schemes for employees shall be accounted for following the same principles of the above dismissal benefits. Where the salaries and social insurance fees of early retirees to be paid by the Company from the date when employees stop providing services to the normal retirement date meet the recognition conditions for projected liabilities, they shall be recognized as profit and loss of the current period. (4) Accounting treatment method for other long-term employee benefits Other long-term benefits provided by the Company to employees that meet the conditions of the defined contribution plan are accounted for in accordance with the defined contribution plan; other long-term benefits are accounted for in accordance with the defined benefit plan. 35. Lease liabilities (1) Recognition methods Under the new lease standards, except for short-term leases and low-value asset leases, the lessee will no longer distinguish financial leases and operating leases. All leases adopt the same accounting methods, and right-of-use 131 C&S Paper Co., Ltd. Semi-annual Report 2021 assets and lease liabilities need to be recognized. (2) Accounting treatment methods 1) The lessee shall calculate the interest expenses of the lease liability in each period of the lease term and include them in the profit and loss of the current period. 2) For short-term leases and low-value asset leases, the lessee may choose not to recognize as right-of-use assets but as the cost of the related asset or as profit and loss of the current period in accordance with the straight-line method or other systematically reasonable methods during each period of the lease term; Pursuant to requirements of the new lease standards, the Company recognizes lease liabilities for all leased assets based on the present value of the minimum lease payment of future rent payable (except for short-term leases and low-value asset leases that have been handled with the simplified method), and confirm depreciation and unrecognized financing expenses separately from January 1, 2021. Information of the comparable period is not adjusted. 36. Provision An obligation related to contingent issues and meeting the following conditions shall be deemed a provision: (1) such an obligation is a current one assumed by the Company; (2) fulfilling such an obligation might cause economic benefits to flow out of the Company; and (3) the amount of such an obligation is measurable reliably. On the balance sheet date, a provision is measured at the best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the related present obligation, with comprehensive consideration of factors such as the risks, uncertainty and time value of money relating to a contingency. A provision is separately recognized as an asset and the recognized compensation amount shall not exceed the book value of the provision, when all or part of the expenses required to pay off the provision are expected to be compensated by a third party and the amount of compensation is basically determined to be receivable. 37. Share-based payment Share-based payment is the transaction made through granting equity instruments or bearing the liabilities recognized based on such instruments in exchange for services rendered by employees or other parties. The Company’s share-based payment includes equity-settled share-based payment and cash-settled share-based payment. 132 C&S Paper Co., Ltd. Semi-annual Report 2021 (1) Equity-settled share-based payment Where the share payment is settled through equity for acquisition of service from employees, it shall be measured at the fair value of the equity instruments granted to the employees. If the right cannot be exercised until the vesting period ends or until the prescribed performance conditions are met, the amount of such fair value shall, based on the best estimate of the number of vested equity instruments, be recognized as the relevant costs or expenses by straight-line method; if the right can be exercised immediately following the grant, the amount of such fair value shall be recognized as the relevant costs or expenses on the grant date, and the capital reserve shall be increased accordingly. On each balance sheet date within the vesting period, the Company carries out the best estimation based on such follow-up information such as the variation of the number of vested staff acquired recently, and revises the number of estimated vested equity instruments. The impact of the above estimates shall be recognized as the relevant costs or expenses of the current period, and the capital reserve shall be adjusted accordingly. For an equity-settled share-based payment in return for the service of any other party, if the fair value of the service of any other party can be reliably measured, it shall be measured at the fair value of the service of any other party on the acquisition date; if the fair value of the service of any other party cannot be reliably measured, but the fair value of the equity instruments can be reliably measured, it shall be measured at the fair value of the equity instruments on the acquisition date and included in the relevant costs or expenses, and the shareholders’ equity shall be increased correspondingly. (2) Cash-settled share payment The cash-settled share-based payment shall be measured at the fair value of the Company’s liabilities determined based on shares or other equity instruments. If the right may be exercised immediately after the grant, relevant costs or expenses shall be recognized the grant date, and the liabilities shall be increased accordingly. If the right may not be exercised until the vesting period ends or until the specified performance conditions are met, on each balance sheet date 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 recognized as the relevant costs or expenses at the fair value of the liability undertaken by the Company, and liabilities shall be increased accordingly. The fair value of liabilities is re-measured and any change thereto is recognized as profit and loss of the current period on each balance sheet date and settlement date prior to settlement of the relevant liabilities. 133 C&S Paper Co., Ltd. Semi-annual Report 2021 38. Preference shares, perpetual bonds and other financial instruments: None 39. Revenue Accounting policy for recognition and measurement of revenue The revenue is recognized when the customers take control of the relevant goods or services if the contract between the Company and the customers meet all the following conditions: 1) the parties to the contract have approved such contract and undertake to perform their respective obligations; 2) the contract has specified the rights and obligations of the parties thereto and in connection with the transfer of goods or provision of labor services; 3) the contract sets out clear payment terms related to the transfer of goods; 4) the contract has commercial substance, meaning that the performance thereof will change the risk, time distribution or amount of the Company’s future cash flow; 5) the Company is very likely to recover the consideration obtained by transferring goods to customers. On the enforcing date of the contract, the Company identifies all individual performance obligations in the contract, and apportions the transaction price to each individual performance obligation according to the relative proportion of the individual selling price of the goods. When determining the transaction price, the Company has considered the impact of such factors including variable consideration, major financing component of the contract, non-cash consideration, and consideration payable to the customer. With respect to each individual performance obligation of the contract, the Company will recognize the transaction price apportioned to such obligation as revenue based on the progress of performance during the relevant performance periods, if any of the following conditions is met: 1) the customer obtains and consumes the economic benefits brought by the Company’s performance during such performance; 2) the customer can control the goods in progress during the Company’s performance; 3) the goods produced from the Company’s performance has irreplaceable use, and in respect of the portion of revenue arising from the Company’s performance completed to date, the Company is entitled to collect revenue during the entire validity period of the contract. The progress of performance is determined according to the nature of the transferred goods using the input or output method. When such progress cannot be reasonably determined, if the costs incurred are expected to be compensated, the Company recognizes revenue based on the amount of costs incurred, until the progress of performance can be reasonably determined. If none of the aforesaid conditions is met, the Company will recognize the transaction price apportioned to such individual performance obligation when the customer obtains the control over relevant goods. To decide whether 134 C&S Paper Co., Ltd. Semi-annual Report 2021 the customer has obtained the control over goods, the Company takes into account the following indications: 1) the enterprise has the present right to collection for the goods, meaning the customer bears the present obligation to payment for the goods; 2) the enterprise has passed the legal title to the goods to the customer, meaning the customer has had the legal title to the goods; 3) the enterprise has transferred the physical possession of the goods to the customer, meaning the customer has had the physical possession of the goods; 4) the enterprise has transferred the major risks and remunerations concerning the title to the goods to the customer, meaning the customer has obtained the major risks and remunerations concerning the title to the goods; 5) the customer has accepted the goods; 6) other indications to show that the customer has obtained the control over the goods. Generally, the Company’s business of goods selling only comprises the performance obligation of transferring the goods. The control of the goods is transferred when they are sent out and the Company receives the signed receipt and other documents from the customer, so the Company confirms the realization of revenue at that point in time. The discounts, rewards and other arrangements in some contracts between the Company and customers constitute variable consideration. The Company uses the expected value method or the most likely amount to determine the best estimates for variable consideration, but the transaction price containing variable consideration shall not exceed the amount of cumulatively recognized revenue that is unlikely to have major reversals when the relevant uncertainties are eliminated. Situations where different business models are adopted for different businesses, which may lead to the differences in the accounting policy for recognition of revenue: None 40. Government grants Government grants are monetary or non-monetary assets acquired by the Company from the government free of charge, excluding the capital invested by the government as an investor and granted corresponding owner’s equity. Government grants are classified into government grants related to assets and government grants related to income. The Company defines the government grants for purchasing or constructing or otherwise forming long- term assets as asset-related government grants; other government grants are defined as the income-related government grants. Government grants shall be measured at the amount received or receivable if they are monetary assets. Non-monetary government grants shall be measured at fair value; if the fair value cannot be reliably obtained, they shall be measured at the nominal amount. The government grants measured at the nominal amount shall be directly recognized as the profit and loss of the current period. Asset-related government grants are recognized as deferred income, and included in the profit and loss of the 135 C&S Paper Co., Ltd. Semi-annual Report 2021 current period in stages according to a reasonable and systematic method over the service life of the relevant assets. The income-related government grants shall be recognized as deferred income if they are used to compensate relevant expenses or losses in subsequent periods, and shall be recognized as profit and loss of the current period during the recognition of related expenses; the grants used to compensate related expenses or losses already incurred shall be directly recognized as profit and loss of the current period. The government grants related to both assets and income shall be accounted for by distinguishing different parts; if it is difficult to distinguish, they shall be, as a whole, classified as income-related government grants. Government grants related to the Company’s daily activities shall be recognized as other profit and loss or write down relevant costs according to the essence of economic business; those unrelated to the Company’s daily activities shall be recognized as non-operating income and expenditure. If the recognized government grants need to be returned and there is relevant deferred income balance, the book balance of relevant deferred income shall be written off, and the excess shall be recognized as profit and loss of the current period; otherwise, government grants shall be directly recognized as profit and loss of the current period. 41. Deferred income tax assets/deferred income tax liabilities (1) Current income tax On the balance sheet date, the Company measures a current tax liability (or asset) arising from the current and prior periods based on the amount of income tax expected to be paid by the Company (or returned by tax authority) calculated by related tax laws. The taxable income which is the basis for calculation of the current income tax is calculated after appropriate adjustments to the pretax accounting profits for the reporting period. (2) Deferred income tax assets and deferred income tax liabilities For the difference between the book value of certain assets and liabilities and their tax bases, and the temporary differences between the book values and the tax bases of items, of which the tax bases can be determined for tax purposes according to the tax laws but which have not been recognized as assets and liabilities, the Company recognizes deferred income tax assets and deferred income tax liabilities using the balance sheet debt method. Where the taxable temporary differences arise from the initial recognition of goodwill and the initial recognition of an asset or liability arising from the transaction that is not a business combination, nor, at the time of the 136 C&S Paper Co., Ltd. Semi-annual Report 2021 transaction, affects neither accounting profit and taxable profit (or deductible loss), the relevant deferred income tax liability shall not be recognized. Additionally, in respect of taxable temporary difference associated with investments in subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates, where the Company can control the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences and it is probable that the temporary differences will not be reversed in the foreseeable future, the relevant deferred income tax liability shall not be recognized. Other than the above exceptions, the Company shall recognize deferred income tax liabilities arising out from all other taxable temporary differences. Where the deductible temporary differences arise from the initial recognition of an asset or liability arising from the transaction that is not a business combination, nor, at the time of the transaction, affects neither accounting profit and taxable profit (or deductible loss), the relevant deferred income tax liability shall not be recognized. Additionally, in respect of deductible temporary difference associated with investments in subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates, where it is probable that the temporary differences will not be reversed in the foreseeable future or taxable profit will not be available against which the deductible temporary differences can be utilized in the future, the relevant deferred income tax liability shall not be recognized. Other than the above exceptions, the Company recognizes a deferred tax asset for other deductible temporary differences, to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences can be utilized. The tax effects of deductible losses and taxes available for carrying over are recognized as an asset when it is probable that future taxable profits would be available against which these losses can be utilized. At the balance sheet date, 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, according to the requirements of tax laws. The book value of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the balance sheet date and written down to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available in future periods to allow the deferred tax assets to be utilized. Such write-down is reversed when it becomes probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available. (3) Income tax expenses Income taxes comprise current income tax and deferred income tax. The current income tax and deferred income tax expense or income is recognized as the profit and loss of the 137 C&S Paper Co., Ltd. Semi-annual Report 2021 current period except that the current income tax and deferred income tax is related to transactions or events, which are recognized as other comprehensive income or directly recognized as shareholders’ equity, and thus recognized as other comprehensive income or shareholders’ equity, and that the book value of goodwill is adjusted due to deferred income tax arising from business combination. 42. Leases (1) Accounting treatment method for operating lease 1) Assets rented through operating lease Under the new lease standards, except for short-term leases and low-value asset leases, the lessee will no longer distinguish financial leases and operating leases. All leases adopt the same accounting methods, and right-of-use assets and lease liabilities need to be recognized. For right-of-use assets, if it is reasonably ascertained that the ownership of the asset will be transferred to the lessee at the end of the lease term, then depreciation period runs to the end of the useful life of the lease asset. If it cannot be reasonably ascertained that the ownership of the leased asset will be transferred to the lessee at the end of the lease term, then depreciation period runs to the earlier of the end of the useful life of the asset or the end of the lease term. Meanwhile, the lessee needs to determine whether the right-of-use asset is impaired and account for the identified impairment loss. For short-term leases and low-value asset leases, the Company may choose not to recognize as right-of-use assets but as the cost of the related asset or as profit and loss of the current period in accordance with the straight-line method or other systematically reasonable methods during each period of the lease. 2) Assets leased out through operating lease Lease payments collected by the Company for leasing out assets are amortized on a straight-line basis during the entire lease term without deducting the rent-free period and recognized as lease income. The initial direct costs paid by the Company relevant to the lease transaction shall be included in the current expenses; if the amount is large, it shall be capitalized, and recognized as profit and loss of the current period on the same basis as the recognized lease income over the lease term. For lease-related expenses that should be borne by the lessee but borne by the Company instead, the Company should deduct them from the total rental income, and the amount after deduction is allocated within the lease term. 138 C&S Paper Co., Ltd. Semi-annual Report 2021 (2) Accounting treatment method for finance lease 1) Assets rented through finance lease The Company takes the lower of the fair value of the rented asset and the present value of the minimum lease payments as the entry value of the rented asset, the minimum lease payments as the entry value of the long-term payable, and the difference as unrecognized financing cost. For details on the determination basis, pricing method and depreciation method of assets rented through finance leases, please refer to “Note V (24)”. The Company uses the effective interest method to amortize unrecognized financing cost during the lease term of the asset and include them in finance expenses. 2) Assets leased out through finance lease The Company recognizes the difference between the sum of financing lease receivable and unguaranteed residual value and their present value as unrealized financing income on the lease start date, and recognizes as lease income during each period when the rent is received in the future. Initial direct costs incurred to the Company relevant to the lease transaction are included in the initial measurement of the financing lease receivable, and the amount of revenue recognized during the lease period is reduced at the same time. 43.

The Company believed that the immovable assets of the old factory of Hubei C&S (including land use rights) could be sold immediately in the current situation, according to similar transactions where such assets were sold. The Company signed a binding purchase agreement with Xiaogan Changxing Investment Co., Ltd. and Xiaonan District People’s Government of Xiaogan City regarding the transfer of such assets in December 2019. The Agreement contained important terms and conditions including the price and time of the transaction as well as penalty for breach of contract that was strict enough. Therefore, there is little possibility for the agreement to be significantly changed or canceled. The Company originally estimated that the ultimate transfer would be completed before December 2020. However, under the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic in 2020, the government shifted its focus to anti- pandemic work with people’s interests above everything else. Especially, Xiaogan City of Hubei Province was one of the hardest-hit areas, so the government has put all efforts in the fight against the virus and post-pandemic economic rejuvenation. As a result, it was unable to pay all asset transfer amount within the agreed period. The Company has received most of the asset transfer payment as of the reporting date (RMB58.14 million). 12.

Risks Associated with Financial Instruments The main financial instruments of the Company include monetary funds, notes receivable, accounts receivable, notes payable, accounts payable, other payables, loans, etc. Please refer to relevant items of “Note VII” for detailed information of all financial instruments. The risks associated with these financial instruments and the risk management policies adopted by the Company to reduce these risks are as follows. The management of the Company manages and monitors these risk exposures to ensure that the above risks are kept within control. The Company adopts the sensitivity analysis method to analyze the possible impact of reasonable and possible changes in risk variables on the profit and loss or shareholder equities in the current period. Since any risk variable rarely changes in isolation and the correlation between the variables will have a significant effect on the ultimate financial impact of changes in a certain risk variable, the following contents are under the consumption that changes of a variable are independent. 208 C&S Paper Co., Ltd. Semi-annual Report 2021 The goal of the Company’s risk management is to strike a proper balance between risks and gains and to minimize the negative impact of risks on the business performance of the Company while maximizing the interests of shareholders and other equity investors. Based on this risk management goal, the basic strategy of the Company’s risk management is to determine and analyze all kinds of risks faced by the Company, clarify the minimum of risk acceptance and conduct risk management, and monitor risks of all kinds in a timely and reliable manner to control risks within the limits. 1. Credit risk Credit risk refers to the risk of financial losses of one party caused by the failure of the other party to perform its obligations. As of June 30, 2021, the largest credit exposure that may cause financial losses to the Company mainly comes from the losses of the Company’s financial assets due to failure of the other contractual party to perform its obligations. In order to reduce credit risk, the Company only conducts transactions with recognized customers with good credit status, and continuously monitors the accounts receivable through credit monitoring of existing customers and aging analysis to ensure that the Company does not face the risk of bad debts and keep the overall credit risk within control. Liquid funds of the Company are deposited in banks with high credit ratings, so the credit risk of liquid funds is low. 2. Interest rate risk Interest rate risk refers to the risk of fluctuations in the fair value or future cash flow of financial instruments due to changes in market interest rates. The interest rate risk faced by the Company mainly comes from bank borrowings (please refer to “Note VII (32), (43) and (45)” for details). By developing a good relationship with banks and carrying out proper design of credit lines, types of credits, and credit terms, the Company ensures sufficient bank credit lines to meet its various financing needs. The risk of interest rate fluctuation can be reasonably reduced by shortening the term of a single loan and specially stipulating early prepayment terms. 3. Foreign exchange risk Foreign exchange risk refers to the risk of fluctuations in the fair value or future cash flow of financial instruments due to changes in foreign exchange rates. The Company tries its best to match foreign currency income with foreign currency expenditure to reduce foreign exchange risks. Foreign exchange risks borne by the Company are mainly related to USD and HKD. Except for purchasing and selling in USD and HKD by its overseas subsidiaries, other major business activities of the Company are priced 209 C&S Paper Co., Ltd. Semi-annual Report 2021 and settled in RMB. See “Note VII (82)” for the conversion of foreign currency financial assets and liabilities into RMB as of June 30, 2021. During the reporting period, the Company generated exchange profit and loss of RMB1,346,250.22. Sensitivity analysis of foreign exchange risk: Analysis assumption: On the basis that all other variables remain constant on the balance sheet date, the possible, reasonable changes of foreign exchange rate will have the following pre-tax effects on the Company’s profit and loss and shareholders’ equity in the current period: Unit: RMB Current period Item Impact on profit Impact on shareholders’ equity Depreciation of RMB against foreign currency by 1.00% -214073.94 -214073.94 Appreciation of RMB against foreign currency by 1.00% 214073.94 214073.94 4. Liquidity risk Liquidity risk refers to the risk of capital shortage when an enterprise fulfills its obligation to settle accounts by delivering cash or other financial assets. The Company’s policy is to ensure that it has sufficient cash to repay mature debts. Liquidity risk is centrally controlled by the financial departments of the Company. The financial departments monitor cash balances, negotiable securities that can be cashed in at any time, and carry out rolling forecasts on cash flows in the next six months to ensure that the Company has sufficient funds to repay debts under all reasonable forecasts. Financial liabilities held by the Company as of June 30, 2021 analyzed based on the maturity period of undiscounted remaining contractual obligations are as follows: Unit: RMB Item Within 1 year Over 1 year Total Notes payable 289,707,176.43 289,707,176.43 Accounts payable 723,033,087.39 711,941,179.23 11,091,908.16 Other payables 796,391,000.45 784,298,181.50 12,092,818.95 Total 1,809,131,264.27 1,785,946,537.16 23,184,727.11 210 C&S Paper Co., Ltd.
