            Section III Discussion and Analysis of the Management

I. Status of the Industry in Which the Company Is Located during the Reporting Period

(I) Analysis of industry status quo
The scale of household paper industry to which the Company belongs has maintained an upward trend in recent
years, but the market competition is also fierce. Pursuant to the 2022-2023 China Household Paper Yearbook, the
per capita consumption of China’s household paper, despite continual increase in the past few years, is still far
below the level of developed countries and regions such as U.S., Western Europe and Japan in 2020 as estimated
by Fastmarkets RISI. The industry still has room for continued growth in the long run. However, the relative
overcapacity of the industry at the moment coupled with the enlarged production capacity base has slowed down
its growth rate. As consumers pay more and more attention to health protection, the demand for high-end and
differentiated household paper products has been strengthened, which will contribute to a new round of growth.
The change of consumption patterns will further elevate the percentage of online sales.
(II) Development trends of the industry
1. Elimination of outdated production capacity will give more market opportunities to first-tier enterprises.
Competent government departments at all levels have strengthened supervision, administration and enforcement
of the household paper industry and promulgated a series of regulations and policies, including the Development
Policy of the Paper Industry, the Notice of the State Council on Printing and Distributing the Comprehensive
Work Plan for Energy Conservation and Emission Reduction, the Discharge Standard of Water Pollutants for the
Pulp and Water Industry, the Norm of Water Intake for Paper Products, The Twelfth Five-Year Plan for Paper
Industry Development, and the Catalogs for the Management of Imported Wastes. Companies with unreasonable
economic scale, high energy and water consumption or not up to discharge standards were shut down or ordered
for rectification within a time frame. Thus, a large number of backward production capacities have been
eliminated. With increasingly stringent environmental protection polices, backward capacities and SMEs with
poor anti-risk capabilities will be phased out at an accelerated speed, and the industry concentration level is
expected to further increase.
2. Operating models are continually innovated and product structures are constantly optimized. With regard to the
marketing of the household paper industry, except for traditional distributors and modern supermarkets,
e-commerce channels are continuously expanded while their shares are rapidly growing. Some leading companies
have been promoting social media marketing such as WeChat public accounts, Weibo, and live webcasting, and
have increased inputs in the development of e-commerce channels. At the same time, in order to cater to the
rapidly growing demands of consumers, companies continue to carry out product innovations, upgrade product


                                                                                                                  11
                                                                              C&S Paper Co., Ltd.   2022 Annual Report


specifications and packaging designs, and develop new products by capturing in time changes in the consumption
concepts of consumers. Diversified operating models emerge in the industry and product structures are further
optimized.
3. Efforts are stepped up for equipment upgrading. People’s demand for household paper is bound to rise along
with the improvement of living standards, requiring constant product capacity expansion in the household paper
industry. As such, it is inevitable for production companies of the industry to choose large-scale and automated
production equipment, which can also meet the demands for low energy consumption, low water consumption,
and low pulp consumption as specified in the overall requirements of the State’s industrial policies for energy
conservation, consumption reduction and pollution reduction. In recent years, imports of household paper
equipment have been trending up in China, with a focus on the imports of body paper machines. Meanwhile, some
large-scale domestic equipment is also constantly optimized and improved. It is foreseeable that large scale and
automation of production equipment will be the development direction of the household paper industry in the
future.
4. Competitiveness of China’s household paper production companies in the international market will be further
intensified. With the rapid development of the household paper industry in China, local enterprises occupy most of
the domestic market shares. On the basis of meeting domestic demands, household paper produced in China has
been exported to a range of countries and regions around the world with certain competitive advantages. In the
future, the competitiveness of Chinese household paper production enterprises in the international market will be
steadily enhanced.


II. Principal Businesses of the Company during the Reporting Period

Mr. Deng Yingzhong, founder of the Company, initiated his entrepreneurial process in 1979. Starting from
intensive paper processing, the Company has developed into a diversified group company integrating R&D,
production and sales after forty plus years of striving. It is among the first batch of household paper companies
listed on China A-shares. The Company, with an adherence to the business philosophy of “building product,
enterprise and professional brands”, practices the “All We Care Is You” value proposition and continues to provide
consumers with healthy, safe, environmental-friendly, comfortable and convenient products and services.
Currently the Company features three major brands, namely C&S, Sun and Dolemi. Main products include toilet
paper, facial tissues, paper handkerchiefs, napkins, wet wipes, kitchen tissues, personal care products (sanitary
pads), facial towels, etc. Specifics are given in the following:
(I) Household paper
Lotion series: Specially developed for female and infant consumers, the products contain moisturizing cream.
With selected high-quality 100% virgin wood pulp and quality moisturizing cream, the paper is soft, delicate and
smooth. It is the professional moisturizing facial tissue brand trusted by consumers.

                                                                                                                   12
                                                                             C&S Paper Co., Ltd.   2022 Annual Report


Face series: Face series are soft, delicate and pliable. Being wettable, the products can be used as face towels.
Among them, the oil painting series combine quality and artistry and are therefore praised as “artwork of paper
tissues”.
Cotton series: Soft and thick as cotton, the series have a fluffy feeling and are friendly to the skin. Adopting the
new generation of embossing technology, multiple embossing procedures and pure physical compound techniques,
the products feature beautiful embossing while locking air between the layers, which gives a lighter, fluffier and
thicker touch。
Sun series: Preferred raw material. Targeting at the youth market, the brand serves as a powerful supplement to
the Company’s primary brand “C&S”.
Kitchen towel series: Using 100% virgin wood pulp, the kitchen paper towels boast stronger oil-absorption and
water-absorption power and are up to the EU and U.S. Requirements for food contact material testing, thereby
better satisfying the multi-functional wiping needs of households. Meanwhile, the kitchen wet wipes boast
expedite decontamination power without hurting hands.
(II) Personal care products
The Company launched the new VI series for Dolemi pads in 2022, which includes two product series of True
Suction and Zero Feeling. The products are available through all channels to achieve omni retail. In addition, the
Company upgraded the Fantasy Maiden series to enhance the Dolemi brand.
 (III) Quality health products
Clean and Soft Cleansing Towel Series: Dedicated to skin care, the products select quality plant fibers with
upgraded processes. They feature double-sided texture design, with one side for cleaning and one side for skin
care, thereby giving the skin a new and comfortable cleansing experience.
Silk Care Cleansing Towel Series: In cooperation with world-renowned quality fiber manufacturer, the products
carefully select quality plant fibers imported from Brazil and Indonesia. The fibers are then extracted into silk
through the wet spinning technique and woven into towels through the spunlace technique, hence giving a super
soft and resilient feeling. The products have passed the third-party skin irritation test with supreme care for the
skin.
Business travel series: With the change of lifestyle, the Company understands that people are increasingly
concerned about the hygiene problem during business travels. In view of this, it has developed the business travel
series such as disposable compressed towels, rinse-free antibacterial hand sanitizers, alcohol sanitary pads, etc.
These products are easy to carry, clean and hygienic and can guard the health of consumers anytime, anywhere.
Among them, disposable compressed towels, disposable bath towels, etc. are made of plant fibers that are natural,
environmental friendly and degradable. They really make travel easy.
Antibacterial Series:In response to the call of the government, the Company started to produce masks to meet
the demands for anti-pandemic materials. Its medical surgical masks feature “efficient filtration, low breathing


                                                                                                                  13
                                                                               C&S Paper Co., Ltd.   2022 Annual Report


resistance and comfortable wearing”. In the future, C&S will continue to escort the breathing health of consumers.
Basic Wet Wipe Series: The products can address the pain points of different groups of people and different
purposes and can be used in various scenarios such as before or after meal, during trips, after exercise, outdoor,
etc. The plasma pure water is filtered by 8 processes, so it is skin-friendly and non-irritating. The products can
remove the sickness feeling of the skin and keep the skin clean and healthy.
Disinfection Wet Wipe Series: With 99.9% sterilization rate with physical sterilization, the products are
skin-friendly so that consumers can enjoy a healthy life. By adopting face-care grade fabric, the products can
create a safe and comfortable environment for the skin.
Maternal and Infant Wet Wipe Series: Along with the change of seasons, the Company finds that mothers
become more and more concerned about the hygiene problem of infants and children when going out. As a result,
the Company developed the hand and mouth cleansing wipes for babies. With the non-toxic and non-irritating
formula, moms can feel assured about the safety of their children.
Wet Toilet Paper Series: To address the pain points of users when going to the toilet, the Company specially
launched the wet toilet paper series that is sterilized against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli. By
selecting plant cellulose fibers and non-woven fabrics, the products not only do not block the toilet as being
environmental friendly and degradable, but also give a feeling of freshness to consumers.
(IV) Commercial channel products
Commercial channel products are also constantly upgraded and enriched along with market changes. In addition
to paper towels, small plate paper and napkins for traditional scenarios such as property cleaning, restaurants and
hotels, and high-traffic places, the Company also added series of products and supporting peripherals such as
toilet fragrances, hand sanitizers, disposable towels and bath towels and compressed towels. Moreover, the
Company is developing multi-functional paper towels. By focusing on optimizing customer experience and
meeting customer demands, the Company will continue to introduce cleaning and sanitation products with higher
quality. Considering the increasing needs of government departments, pubic institutions and enterprises for daily
necessities as welfare to employees, the Company also launched differentiated group-buying products through
online and offline channels, to meet market demands in an all-round manner.


The competition in China’s household paper industry is still fierce and industry concentration will be further
strengthened. With enhanced 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 as well as 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 the market. In addition, with an
adherence to the value concept of “All We Care Is 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


                                                                                                                    14
                                                                           C&S Paper Co., Ltd.   2022 Annual Report


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 improving product reputation among consumes and consolidating brand awareness.


III. Analysis of Core Competitiveness

1. Belonging to the first echelon of the domestic household paper industry
The Company is a top-performing enterprise in the first echelon of the domestic household paper industry with
products available at all channels and both at home and abroad. In addition, it actively taps overseas markets
including Southeast Asia, Northeast Asia, Oceania and North America. According to the 2022 China Consumer
Satisfaction Index for Household Paper prepared by the third-party agency CHNBRAND, C&S has ranked the
first for three consecutive years.
2. Constantly optimized product structure and continuously improved product competitiveness
The Company continued to optimize product structure and has positioned high-end, high-margin non-traditional
dry wipes as a strategic category that will be prioritized in the future. Efforts have been stepped up for the
terminal sales of the Oil Painting, Koi Fish, Face, Lotion and other high-end, high-margin series. Precise brand
marketing strategy combined with multi-channel sales layout will help improve the distribution and penetration of
high-end, high-margin products, drive the growth of their shares, and hence steadily improve the profit margin
and profitability of products.
As consumers pay more attention to own health protection, the demand for household paper takes on a
differentiated and high-end trend. The Company quickly grasped the market changes and introduced the

development and enhance the sense of belonging of employees, the Company introduced the 2022 Stock Option

The Company has defined the goal of strengthening basic management from 2022 to 2024. Specifically, it will

The Company will always adhere to the core business of household paper and continuously solidify product

layout and market competitiveness in the industry. Meanwhile, related diversified categories will be tried out as

As a member of the first echelon in China’s household paper industry, the Company always puts product quality

The Company will continue to optimize product structure and consolidate the coordinated management of

non-traditional dry wipes have been positioned as a strategic category that will be prioritized in the future.


                                                                                                                      34
                                                                               C&S Paper Co., Ltd.   2022 Annual Report

manner to achieve a dynamic balance between production and sales.

Horizontal integration and strategic alliance with key customers and leading enterprises will be continued by the

Company.
(II) Major risks faced by the Company

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. The
pulp price has surged in 2022 under the impact of major international events such as the conflict between Russia
and Ukraine, the European energy crisis, and volatile geopolitical relations. 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 fluctuation

The import of machinery equipment and pulp and the export of products to overseas market of the Company are

                                                                                                                    35
                                                                               C&S Paper Co., Ltd.   2022 Annual Report


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. 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

                                                                                                                    36
                                                                             C&S Paper Co., Ltd.   2022 Annual Report


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 Fourteenth Five-year Plan for 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 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.

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


                                                                                                                  37

equipment design and procurement 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.

Description on whether opinions from directors were adopted

During the reporting period, all the directors of the Company performed their duties faithfully and diligently in
strict accordance with relevant regulations of the China Securities Regulatory Commission and Shenzhen Stock
Exchange as well as relevant provisions of the Articles of Association of the Company. They actively attended
relevant meetings on time, carefully reviewed various proposals, paid attention to the Company’s production,
operation and financial status at all times, and put forward valuable, professional opinions to the Company’s
development strategies and corporate governance improvement. All these have effectively strengthened the
Company’s standardized operation and improved its scientific decision-making level. Moreover, independent

repurchase, equity incentive plan, annual profit distribution, external guarantee, etc., which has effectively
safeguarded the legitimate rights and interests of investors especially the small and medium investors.

3. Training program


In order to improve the overall quality of employees and managers and hence elevate the level of corporate
governance and ensure sustainable development, the Company, with regard to the training work, has made the
following layout in 2022:
(1) Establish a three-level training system for the Company and subordinate subsidiaries and branches. Level 1
Training focuses on the Company's culture, development strategy, rules and regulations, management skills, new
technologies, new knowledge and other forward-looking information. The training objects are middle-level and
above managers of the Company. Level 2 Training is those conducted by subsidiaries for their managers, with a
focus on the Company's corporate culture, rules and regulations of the unit and safety operating procedures. Level
3 Training is those performed by each department for subordinate employees, mainly focusing on responsibilities
of the post, operating procedures, safety operating procedures, workflow of the post, professional expertise such
as processes and techniques, work instructions, etc., such that employees could repeatedly learn responsibilities
and safety operating procedures of the post during daily meetings before and after the shift.
(2) Professional skill training: The Company also arranged professional skill trainings, mainly covering three
areas: training on processes and technologies, training on the maintenance and repair of mechanical equipment,
and training on production management. Such trainings were conducted at least once a week, with no less than
one hour for each time.
(3) Professional knowledge training: The head of each functional department also arranged professional
knowledge trainings in various forms. These trainings discussed and exchanged professional problems that arose
in actual work, thereby improving the professional skills and comprehensive quality of the team
(4) Pre-job training for new employees: The HR Department organized centralized training for new employees,
which mainly introduced the Company's profile, development history, strategic goals, corporate culture, product
introduction, general rules and regulations, and general safety operating procedures. Training on job
responsibilities and operating procedures was then conducted after the new employee reported to the department
(or shift/team), such that each employee can clearly understand the duties and operating procedures of respective
post. There was a written test for new employees after the training, and the test result was incorporated into the
appraisal of the probationary period.

design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and
appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from
fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions,
misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
(II) Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are
appropriate in the circumstances.
(III) Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and
related disclosures made by management.
(IV) Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based
on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast
significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material
uncertainty exists, we are required to drawing attention in our audit report to the related disclosures in these
financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on
the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause
the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.
(V) Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, and whether the financial
statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
(VI) Obtain sufficient and appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or
business activities within the Company to express an opinion on the financial statements. We are responsible for
the direction, supervision and performance of the group audit, and remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, the planned scope and timing of the audit and
significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our
audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we comply with relevant ethical
requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may
reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and related safeguards (if applicable).
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of
most significance in the audit of the financial statements of the period and are therefore the key audit matters. We
describe these matters in our audit report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or
when, in tiny minority circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report
because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest
benefits of such communication.

5. 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
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


                                                                                                                   151
                                                                                C&S Paper Co., Ltd.   2022 Annual Report


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,
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.
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 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.

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.


                                                                                                                    152
                                                                                 C&S Paper Co., Ltd.   2022 Annual Report


(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, 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 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) Long-term equity investments" or "Note V (10) Financial instruments" for details.
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


                                                                                                                     153
                                                                               C&S Paper Co., Ltd.   2022 Annual Report


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
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

                                                                                                                   154
                                                                                C&S Paper Co., Ltd.   2022 Annual Report


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. The undistributed profit at the
beginning of the year is the previous year’s undistributed profit at the end of the year after conversion; the
undistributed profit at the end of the period is allocated and recognized to each item according to the converted
profits; the difference between the total of asset and liability items and shareholders’ equity items after conversion
is considered as foreign currency translation difference and 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
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


                                                                                                                    155
                                                                               C&S Paper Co., Ltd.   2022 Annual Report


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 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: 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


                                                                                                                   156
                                                                                 C&S Paper Co., Ltd.   2022 Annual Report


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
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


                                                                                                                     157
                                                                               C&S Paper Co., Ltd.   2022 Annual Report


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.
(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
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


                                                                                                                   158
                                                                                     C&S Paper Co., Ltd.       2022 Annual Report


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.
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          This portfolio comprises amounts of related parties within the consolidated scope.
       portfolio
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.
       Portfolio based on     This portfolio comprises amounts of related parties within the consolidated scope.

15. Inventories

(1) Classification of inventories
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. For inventories with a large quantity but a low unit value, provisions for inventory
impairment are set aside according to inventory category.
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.


                                                                                                                                  160
                                                                                  C&S Paper Co., Ltd.   2022 Annual Report


16. Contract assets

The Company recognizes the contract amounts where the customer has not paid the consideration but the
Company has fulfilled its contractual obligation while the claim to the amount from the customer is not
unconditional (i.e. Only dependent on the passage of time) as contract assets in the balance sheet. Contract assets
and contract liabilities under the same contract are presented on a net basis; contract assets and contract liabilities
under different contracts are not offset.

17. Contract costs

If the incremental cost incurred by the Company for obtaining a contract is expected to be recovered, the cost of
obtaining the contract is recognized as an asset. However, if the amortization period of the asset does not exceed
one year, it is included into the profit and loss of the period as it occurs.
  If the contract cost does not fall within other enterprise accounting standards than the Accounting Standards for
Business Enterprises No. 14 -- Revenue and meet the following conditions at the same time, it is considered as
contract performance cost and recognized as asset: 1) the cost is directly related to an existing or expected contract
including direct labor, direct material or manufacturing overhead (or similar expenses), or the cost has been
expressly defined as borne by the customer, or the cost is incurred solely as a result of the contract; 2) the cost
increases the Company’s future resources to perform contractual obligations; and 3) the cost is expected to be
recovered.
Contract cost-related assets are amortized on the same basis of goods revenue recognition relating to the asset and
included in the profit and loss of the current period.

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
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

                                                                                                                      161
                                                                              C&S Paper Co., Ltd.   2022 Annual Report


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
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

                                                                                                                  162
                                                                                 C&S Paper Co., Ltd.   2022 Annual Report


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
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.
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


                                                                                                                     163
                                                                               C&S Paper Co., Ltd.   2022 Annual Report


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
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)
Long-term asset impairment".
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.

                                                                                                                   164
                                                                                            C&S Paper Co., Ltd.   2022 Annual Report


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.


(2) Depreciation method


        Category           Depreciation method      Depreciation life Residual value rate        Annual depreciation rate

Properties and buildings Straight-line depreciation 10 to 30 years    5%. 10%               3.00%, 3.17% to 9.00%, 9.50%

Equipment                Straight-line depreciation 2 to 20 years     5%. 10%               4.50%, 4.75% to 45.00%, 47.50%

Motor vehicles           Straight-line depreciation 5 to 14 years     5%. 10%               6.43%, 6.79% to 18.00%, 19.00%

Office equipment         Straight-line depreciation 3 to 8 years      5%. 10%               11.25%, 11.88% to 30.00%, 31.67%

Production equipment     Straight-line depreciation 2 to 5 years      5%. 10%               18.00%, 19.00% to 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: Not applicable

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) Long-term asset impairment".

26. Borrowing costs

Borrowing costs include interest on borrowings, amortizations of discounts or premiums, incidental expenses,
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,

                                                                                                                                   165
                                                                              C&S Paper Co., Ltd.   2022 Annual Report


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

Impairment test method and impairment provision method for right-of-use assets are detailed in "Note V (42)
Leases".

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

                                                                                                                  166
                                                                                 C&S Paper Co., Ltd.   2022 Annual Report


including plants, the relevant land use right expenses and buildings’ construction costs are accounted for as
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.

(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
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. 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


                                                                                                                     167
                                                                                 C&S Paper Co., Ltd.   2022 Annual Report


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
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 of
the Company mainly include office building decoration costs, sewage use rights and electricity use rights.
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 Company’s obligation to transfer goods to a customer for which the Company has
received consideration from the customer. If the customer has paid contract consideration or the Company has
obtained the unconditional right of collection before the Company transfer goods to the customer, the amount
received or the receivable is recognized as contract liability at the earlier of the time when the customer actual
pays the amount and when the amount becomes due. Contract assets and contract liabilities under the same
contract are presented on a net basis; contract assets and contract liabilities under different contracts are not offset.




                                                                                                                     168
                                                                               C&S Paper Co., Ltd.   2022 Annual Report


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.

(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

Recognition and accounting treatment methods of lease liabilities are detailed in "Note V (42) Leases".

36. Provision

An obligation related to contingent issues and meeting the following conditions shall be deemed a provision: (1)

                                                                                                                   169
                                                                               C&S Paper Co., Ltd.   2022 Annual Report


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.
(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.



                                                                                                                   170

39. Revenue

Accounting policy for recognition and measurement of revenue

Revenue is the total inflow of economic benefits unrelated to the capital invested by the shareholders which are
formed in the daily activities of the Company and can lead to an increase in shareholders’ equity. The revenue is
recognized when the customers take control of the relevant goods (including services, same for below) 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. Wherein, taking control of relevant goods means being able to control the use of
the goods and obtain almost all economic benefits therefrom.
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
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.


                                                                                                                  171
                                                                                    C&S Paper Co., Ltd.   2022 Annual Report


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.
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
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)


                                                                                                                          172
                                                                               C&S Paper Co., Ltd.   2022 Annual Report


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
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
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

A lease is a contract whereby the Company assigns or acquires the right to control the use of one or more
identified assets for a specified period in exchange for or with payment of consideration. The Company evaluates
whether a contract is a lease or contains a lease at its inception date.
(1) The Company as the lessee
Main types of assets leased by the Company are properties and buildings.
  i. Initial measurement
Except for short-term leases or low-value asset leases, the Company recognizes the right to use the leased asset
during the lease term as a right-of-use asset and recognizes the present value of unpaid lease payments as a lease
liability. When calculating the present value of lease payments, the Company adopts the interest rate implicit in
the lease as the discount rate; if the interest rate implicit in the lease cannot be determined, the lessee’s
incremental borrowing rate is used as the discount rate.
 ii. Follow-up measurement
The Company depreciates the right-of-use assets with reference to relevant depreciation provisions specified in
the Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises No. 4 - Fixed Assets (see "Note IV ((15) Fixed 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.
For lease liabilities, the Company calculates its interest expenses in each period of the lease term at a fixed
periodic interest rate which is included in the profit and loss of the current period. Variable lease payments that are
not included in the measurement of lease liabilities are included in the current profit and loss when they are
actually incurred
After the commencement date of the lease term, when there is a change in the actual fixed payment amount, a
change in the estimated payable amount of the guaranteed residual value, a change in the index or ratio used to
determine the lease payment amount, or a change in the evaluation results or actual exercise of the purchase
option, renewal option or termination option, the Company re-measures the lease liability according to the present
value of the changed lease payments and adjusts the book value of the right-of-use asset accordingly. If the book
value of the right-of-use asset has been reduced to zero but the lease liability still needs to be further reduced, the
Company includes the remaining amount in the profit and loss of the current period.
iii. Short-term leases and low-value asset leases
For short-term leases (leases with a term of not more than 12 months since the lease commencement date) and
low-value asset leases Lease liabilities, the Company adopts a simplified approach, i.e. Not recognizing 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) The Company as the lessor
On the lease commencement date, the company divides leases into finance leases and operating leases based on
the substance of the transaction. Leases of assets where substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership have
been transferred are classified as finance leases. Other leases than the finance leases are classified as operating
leases.
    i.    Operating lease
The Company adopts the straight-line method to recognize lease receipts from operating leases as rental income

                                                                                                                    174
                                                                                            C&S Paper Co., Ltd.    2022 Annual Report


for each period of the lease term. Variable lease payments related to operating leases that are not included in lease
receipts are included in the current profit and loss when they are actually incurred.
    ii.       Finance lease
The company recognizes the finance lease receivables and derecognizes the finance lease assets on the
commencement date of the lease term. The financial lease receivables are initially measured by the net investment
in the lease (the sum of the unguaranteed residual value and the present value of the lease receipts not yet received
at the beginning of the lease term, discounted at the interest rate implicit in the lease), while interest income is
calculated and recognized according to the fixed periodic interest rate in each period of the lease term. Variable
lease payments obtained by the Company that are not included in the measurement of the net value of lease
liabilities are included in the current profit and loss when they are actually incurred.

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.
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 December 31, 2022, 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. 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


                                                                                                                    239
                                                                               C&S Paper Co., Ltd.    2022 Annual Report


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
and settled in RMB. See "Note VII (82)" for the conversion of foreign currency financial assets and liabilities into
RMB as of December 31, 2022. During the reporting period, the Company generated exchange profit and loss of
-RMB26,795,486.6.
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:
                                                                                      End of year

                                                                Impact on profit         Impact on shareholders’ equity
Appreciation of RMB against foreign currency by 1.00%                 -6,388,085.88                       -6,388,085.88
Depreciation of RMB against foreign currency by 1.00%                  6,388,085.88                        6,388,085.88
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 December 31, 2022 analyzed based on the maturity period of
undiscounted remaining contractual obligations are as follows:
