Meanwhile, the continuation of the appreciation of RMB and the increased downward pressure on raw material prices relieved the pressure on the operating costs of enterprises. The profitability of the Company turned around as compared to the corresponding period of the prior year. The reporting period saw the normal operation of the Company’s projects such as Zhanjiang Chenming’s pulp project, 800,000 tonne coated paper project and 600,000 tonne white coated linerboard project.

Future Development The industry to which the Company belongs is the paper making industry, which is a light industry. The business sentiments of the industry are highly related to the macroeconomic growth. The overall profitability of the paper making industry hovered around at a low level from the beginning of the year. However, a higher concentration ratio was obtained due to the slowdown in the growth of the supply of the paper making industry and the elimination of outdated production capacity. In the long run, the development conditions of the paper making industry gradually improve. The National Development and Reform Commission, Ministry of Industry and Communication and State Forestry Administration have jointly issued the Twelfth Five- Year Plan for the Development of the Paper Making Industry, which clearly states the general direction of “controlling total volume, promoting concentration, optimising raw materials and reducing energy consumption and emission”, from which the Company is expected to benefit in the long run. In recent years, the Company is committed to the integrated development of forestry, pulp and paper with a longer industry chain and more comprehensive paper types. During the reporting period, the Company carried out a series of capacity expansion on paper types with better prospects. The Company’s direction of development is in line with the requirements of the development plan of the entire paper making industry. Meanwhile, the Company has expanded its industry chain with a more rationalised industry positioning, which further strengthens the Company’s competitiveness and development potential. As the economy and industry gradually recover, it is expected that the result of the Company will record stable growth. The Company’s future performance is what the market can look forward to.

Overview During the reporting period, the previous round of intensive expansion in the paper making industry was basically completed. Papermaking enterprises were unlikely to expand in the near future due to the sentiment in the industry. In addition, some the small and medium-sized enterprises left the market as a result of elimination of outdated production capacity and stricter environmental protection policy. This partly lowered the pressure of the new production capacity on the supply in the industry. A higher concentration ratio was secured due to the slowdown in the growth of the supply of the paper making industry and the elimination of outdated production capacity, which was conducive to a proactive increase in price proposed by enterprises. Meanwhile, the continuation of the appreciation of RMB and the increased downward pressure on raw material prices relieved the pressure on the operating costs of enterprises. As compared to the corresponding period of prior year, the profitability of our major operations improved during the reporting period. The profit margin of our paper products was higher as compared to the corresponding period of prior year. During the reporting period, the Company strived to establish itself as an international leading papermaking enterprise which operated in an environmental friendly and sustainable manner. We focused on our development and were driven by innovative ideas. We invested in the household paper project of Wuhan Chenming and magnesite mining project, entered into contract for the waterfront regulation works BT project in Zhanjiang City and were engaged in Wuhan Chenming cultural paper machine upgrade project, which accelerated the structural adjustment of the Company and facilitated the transformation and upgrade of the Company. We put more efforts to conduct technology research, optimised the combination of production, learning, research and utilisation in both channel and system, and achieved better results in surface enhancement technology and finished paper ash content technology. Meanwhile, we complied with environmental protection policies, applied new technology and skills, promoted the recycle economy, enhanced comprehensive utilisation of resources and improved energy saving and emission reduction. During the reporting period, the Company enhanced innovative management. We managed our staff through our system and operated in accordance with the standard. We fully utilised the capital market to improve the standard of capital settlement, 13 INTERIM management, investment and financing of the Group. We enhanced our financial management and lowered the financial costs. REPORT We optimised our procurement management and implemented the “purchase on demand” mode. We optimised our internal control procedure, improved our risk prevention system and strengthened procedure supervision and controlled major risk. The Company developed an innovative staff development programme. Based on the demand for development, the Company put greater efforts on recruiting talents who possessed advance and new technology knowledge, and management talents. The Company endeavoured to develop a high quality team with the same philosophy as the Company and adaptable to the strategic development. During the reporting period, the Company accelerated the adjustment in product structure, enhanced product quality management, increased the development on high valued-added products, put more efforts in direct sale and expanded overseas sale channels.

Development trend in the industry and corporate outlook The industry to which the Company belongs is the paper making industry, which is a light industry. The sentiment within the industry is closely related to the macroeconomic growth rate. Since the beginning of 2013, the growth rate of the downstream demand of the domestic paper making industry was still at a low level. The weak domestic demand persisted with the overall profitability in the paper making industry hovered around at a low level. However, the development conditions for the paper making industry gradually improved in the long run. The National Development and Reform Commission, Ministry of Industry and Communication and State Forestry Administration jointly issued the Twelfth Five-Year Plan for the Development of the Paper Making Industry, which clearly states the general direction of “controlling total volume, promoting concentration, optimising raw materials and reducing energy consumption and emission”, from which the Company is expected to benefit in the long run. In recent years, the Company is committed to the integrated development of forestry, pulp and paper with a longer industry chain and more comprehensive paper types. During the reporting period, the Company carried out capacity expansion on paper types with better prospects. The Company’s direction of development is in line with the requirements of the development plan of the entire paper making industry. Meanwhile, the Company has expanded its industry chain with a more rationalised industry positioning, which further strengthens the Company’s competitiveness and development potential. As the economy and industry gradually recover, it is expected that the result of the Company will record stable growth. The Company’s future performance is what the market can look forward to. 4. During the second half of 2013, the Company will primarily engage in the following works which are in line with our strategic objectives: 13 (1) Adhere to strategy guidelines and make a blueprint for development plan. We focus on project establishment INTERIM and enhance technology upgrade. For technology upgrade projects, we will make verification and pick up the REPORT pace to ensure high quality and good results. We will make more efforts to conduct technology research and optimise the combination of production, learning, research and utilisation in both channel and system. Meanwhile, we will comply with environmental protection policies, apply new technology and skills, promote the recycle economy, enhance comprehensive utilisation of resources and improve energy saving and emission reduction. (2) Strengthen innovation management and enhance working efficiency. We will introduce advanced management mode. We will optimise purchase management and put the “purchase on demand” mode on trial. A finance company is established to intensify the centralised management of the Group’s fund and enhance our financial management. We make full use of the financing platform of the Hong Kong market in order to expand our business scope, lower our financial costs and improve our profitability. Quality is the essence of a corporation. Adhering to the object of improving quality and increasing economic benefits, the Company will strive to realise “all staff, whole process and the entire corporation” quality management and strengthen our quality management. We optimise flow of internal control, and bring risk-prevention management system into perfection, intensify and promote the transformation of internal audit into management audit and risk audit, and perfect corporate legal risk-prevention mechanism, and strengthen process oversights and management and control over significant risks, aiming to enhance the internal control construction. (3) Adjust product portfolio and explore new markets. The Company will enhance product quality management, increase the development on high value-added products, produce popular products as well as increase the market competitiveness of products. The Company endeavours to produce products at low cost in order to meet client’s needs, leverage on its low cost edge and increase the efficiency. The Company will put more efforts in direct marketing and expand its overseas sales channels. The Company will target on major direct clients. Meanwhile, the Company will explore cooperation opportunities with strong major distributors, and increase the overseas market exposure of products via their sales channels. The Company will expand the marketing channels for its brand and organise promotion activities. Hence, the recognition of Chenming brand will increase, which will fully enhance the brand image and influence of the Company. 16 SHANDONG CHENMING PAPER HOLDINGS LIMITED V Directors’ Report II. Analysis of principal operations (Cont’d) 4. During the second half of 2013, the Company will primarily engage in the following works which are in line with our strategic objectives: (Cont’d) (4) Strengthen team-building and improve staff quality. Human resources are the “major essential” for corporate development. The Company will develop an innovative staff development programme. The Company will focus on its recruitment and training works. It aims to maintain a fair staff system. The Company will enhance its staff training and conduct a people-oriented way. The Company will also enhance the technical standard of various position, aiming to develop as a learning and knowledgeable enterprise. The Company will establish a good working and living environment, which strengthen staff’s loyalty and unity to the Company. (5) Build up Chenming corporate culture and promote culture promotion and implementation. The Company adheres to the establishment of corporate culture. It strives to “achieve a high degree of integration of corporate governance and corporate culture” as well as ensures proper internal cooperation with all works conducted orderly. The Company will strengthen the establishment of culture system, its promotion and implementation, aiming to make all staff have a deeper understanding on Chenming corporate culture. This can promote incorporation of culture into thought and management and make corporate culture as a direction of all works, which can improve the quality and execution ability of staff. Hence, a brand new Chenming corporate culture is established. 5. Capital requirements, source of funds and plan for usage The Company’s new projects had commenced operation successively but they were unable to make profit on a timely basis due to market reasons. At present, the Company has higher leverage. Fluctuation of the state deposit and lending interest rates will directly cause fluctuation of interests undertaken by the Company so as to affect the Company’s 13 profitability. Therefore, the Company specifies the following measures: First, the Company will further improve its INTERIM REPORT international marketing network, improve its organisation structure of its overseas companies, adjust its sales channels and step up effort to expand its overseas market, especially for the coated paper products, high-end duplex press paper, electrostatic small paper and other high-end products, devote great efforts to exports and fund collection, and relieve domestic market pressure. Secondly, the Company will make full use of the financing platform of the Hong Kong market, seek the matching point of Hong Kong and domestic businesses, increase Hong Kong Chenming’s credit line and expand the business of Hong Kong Chenming. Thirdly, the Company will actively establish the Group’s finance company to enhance the centralised management of the Group’s fund and improve the efficiency of capital use so as to further increase the Group’s fund settlement, management, investment and financing ability, thereby reducing its financing cost. SHANDONG CHENMING PAPER HOLDINGS LIMITED 17 V Directors’ Report II. Analysis of principal operations (Cont’d) 6. Potential risks As a basic raw materials industry of the national economy, the papermaking industry’s overall efficiency has a strong correlation with the national macroeconomic performance, and is therefore a cyclical industry. The national macroeconomic performance will have a greater impact on the market demand for paper products, which will further affect the product price and cost of raw materials, and will ultimately affect the operating results of the papermaking enterprises, including the Company. There still exist some uncertainties and complexities in China’s future macroeconomic trends. Thus, the Company still faces the risk of earnings level being affected by macroeconomic fluctuations. Operational risk. The major raw materials used by the Company are wood pulp and waste paper. The relatively high market price fluctuations of wood pulp and waste paper have affected the production cost of the Company’s machine- made paper products, and thus have an impact on the performance of the Company. Industry risk. China’s papermaking industry has been facing increasingly fierce competition. Domestic papermaking enterprises have launched new projects, introduced advanced equipment, expanded production capacity and promoted sales. International renowned papermaking enterprises also participated directly in the domestic market competition by leveraging on their advantages in scale and technology. The fierce competition in the domestic papermaking industry will certainly affect the Company’s future operating results. Policy risk. From the point of view of China’s policy, China will change the mode of growth through optimising the layout of the papermaking industry and the raw material structure and product structure, in order to promote a modern papermaking industry based on recycling by integrating the forestry and papermaking industry, which will have an 13 impact on the operating results of the Company. INTERIM Environmental risk. The papermaking industry is a polluting industry. With the rising awareness of environment REPORT protection in the society and the industry, more stringent environmental protection policies of the industry have been implemented. A multi-pronged approach has been adopted to promote industrial restructuring, and the papermaking industry has entered into an important transition period of development. The higher emission standard is bound to increase the Company’s environmental protection cost and will result in the slowing down of scale expansion. Interest rate risk. In recent years, greater fluctuations of the Renminbi benchmark lending rate level have an impact on the Company’s cost of debt financing. The People’s Bank of China may continue to adjust the level of the benchmark interest rate according to the macroeconomic trends, which may cause greater volatility in the Company’s financial expenses, thus affecting its operating results. Exchange rate risk. As an import and export enterprise, the exchange rate of Renminbi against other currencies in future will affect the Company’s operating results. The foreign currency transactions of the Company are mainly denominated in US$. The operations of raw material imports, product exports and US$ borrowings of the Company will face the risk of exchange rate changes. 18 SHANDONG CHENMING PAPER HOLDINGS LIMITED V Directors’ Report III.

Significant accounting policies, accounting estimates and differences in the previous period (Cont’d) 5. Accounting treatment of business combination under common control and not under common control (1) Business combination under common control A business combination involving enterprises under common control is a business combination in which all of the combining enterprises are ultimately controlled by the same party or parties before and after the combination, and that control is not transitory. The party that, on the combination date, obtains control of another enterprise participating in the combination is the absorbing party, while that other enterprise participating in the combination is a party being absorbed. The combination date is the date on which one combining enterprise effectively obtains control of the other combining enterprises. Assets and liabilities obtained by the absorbing party are measured at their carrying amount at the combination date as recorded by the party being merged. The difference between the carrying amount of the net assets obtained and the carrying amount of the consideration paid for the combination (or the aggregate nominal value of shares issued as consideration) is charged to the capital reserve (share capital premium). If the capital reserve (share capital premium) is not sufficient to absorb the difference, any excess shall be adjusted against retained earnings. Cost incurred by the absorbing party that is directly attributable to the business combination shall be charged to profit or loss in the period in which they are incurred. (2) Business combination not under common control A business combination not involving enterprises under common control is a business combination in which all of the combining enterprises are not ultimately controlled by the same party or parties before and after the 13 combination. For a business combination not involving enterprises under common control, the party that, on the INTERIM REPORT acquisition date, obtains control of another enterprise participating in the combination is the acquirer, while that other enterprise participating in the combination is the acquiree. The acquisition date is the date on which the acquirer effectively obtains control of the acquiree. For business combination involving entities not under common control, the cost of a business combination is the aggregate of the fair values, on the date of acquisition, of assets given, liabilities incurred or assumed, and equity instruments issued by the acquirer to be paid by the acquirer, in exchange for control of the acquire plus agency fee such as audit, legal service and evaluation consultation and other management fees charged to the profit or loss for the period when incurred. As equity or bond securities are issued by the acquirer as consideration, any attributable transaction cost is included their initial costs. Involved contingent consideration charged to the combination cost according to its fair value on the acquisition date, the combined goodwill be will be adjusted if new or addition evidence existed about the condition in the acquisition date within twelve months after the acquisition date, which is required to adjust the contingent consideration. The combination cost incurred by the acquirer and the identifiable net assets acquired from the combination are measured at their fair values. Where the cost of a business combination exceeds the acquirer’s interest in the fair value of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets on the acquisition date, the difference is recognised as goodwill. Where the cost of a business combination is less than the acquirer’s interest in the fair value of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets, the acquirer shall first reassess the measurement of the fair value of the acquiree’s identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities and the measurement of the cost of combination. If after such reassessment the cost of combination is still less than the acquirer’s interest in the fair value of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets, the difference is charged to profit or loss for the period.

Basis for preparation of consolidated financial statements (1) Basis for preparation of consolidated financial statements ① Principle of determining the scope of consolidated financial statements The scope of consolidation of the consolidated financial statements is determined on the basis of control. The term “control” means that the Company has the power to decide an investee’s financial and operating policy. The scope of consolidation includes the Company and all of its subsidiaries. A subsidiary is a business or entity controlled by the Company. ② Basis for preparation of the consolidated financial statements Subsidiaries are consolidated from the date on which the Group obtains net assets and the effective control of decision-making of production and operation and are deconsolidated from the date that such control ceases. For disposal of subsidiaries, the operating results and cash flows of such subsidiaries before the date of disposal are properly included into the consolidated income statement and consolidated cash flow statements; for disposal of subsidiaries during the reporting period, no adjustment shall be made to the opening balance of the consolidated balance sheet. For those subsidiaries acquired through business combination not under common control, the operating results and cash flows after the acquisition date have been properly included in the consolidated income statements and consolidated cash flow statements. No adjustments shall be made to the opening balance of the consolidated balance sheet and the comparative consolidated financial statements amount. For those subsidiaries acquired through business combination under common control, the operating results and 13 cash flows from the beginning of the consolidation period to the consolidation date are also presented in the consolidated income statement and the consolidated cash flow statements. The comparative amounts presented INTERIM REPORT in the consolidated financial statements are also adjusted accordingly. The financial statements of the subsidiaries are adjusted in accordance with the accounting policies and accounting period of the Company in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements, where the accounting policies and the accounting periods are inconsistent between the Company and the subsidiaries. For acquisition of subsidiaries arising from merger of entities not under same control, the financial statements of the subsidiaries will be adjusted according to the fair value of the identifiable net assets. All intra-group significant balances, transactions and unrealised profit are eliminated in the consolidated financial statements. The shareholders’ equity and the portion of the profit or loss for the period that is not attributable to the Company are presented separately under shareholders’ equity and net profit in the consolidated financial statements. The portion of net profit or loss of subsidiaries for the period attributable to minority interests is presented in the consolidated income statement under the” “net profit” line item as “minority interests”. When the amount of loss attributable to the minority shareholders of a subsidiary exceeds the minority shareholders’ portion of the opening balance of owners’ equity of the subsidiary, the excess amount shall be allocated against minority interests. If the Company loses control over a subsidiary due to partial disposal of equity investment or other reasons, the remaining equity is measured at fair value on the date when the control is lost. The difference between the sum of consideration received for disposal of equity interest and the fair value of remaining equity interest less the net assets attributable to the Company calculated continuously since the purchase date based on shareholding percentage before disposal are recognised in gains on investment in the period when the control is lost. Other comprehensive income related to equity investment in the subsidiary is transferred to gains on investment at the time the control is lost. The remaining equity interest is measured subsequently according to the related requirements of “Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises No. 2 – Long-term Equity Investments” or “Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises No. 22 – Recognition and measurement of Financial Instruments”. For details, please see Note IV. 10 “Long-term equity investments” or Note IV. 7 “Financial Instruments”. (2) Accounting treatment for acquiring then disposing of (or vice versa) the equity interest of same subsidiary for two successive accounting years Not applicable. 68 SHANDONG CHENMING PAPER HOLDINGS LIMITED IX Financial Report IV.

Standards for recognising cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents of the Company include cash on hand, deposits readily available for payment purpose and short- term (normally fall due within three months from the date of acquisition) and highly liquid investments held the Company which are readily convertible into known amounts of cash and which are subject to insignificant risk of value change. 8. Foreign currency operations and translation of statements denominated in foreign currency (1) Foreign currency operations ① Basis for translation of foreign currency transactions The foreign currency transactions of the Company, when initially recognised, are translated into functional currency at the prevailing spot exchange rate on the date of exchange while the Company’s foreign currency exchange operations and transactions in connection with foreign currency exchange shall be translated into functional currency at the exchange rate actually adopted. ② Basis for translation of foreign currency monetary items and foreign currency non-monetary items On the balance sheet date, foreign currency monetary items shall be translated at the spot exchange rate (generally, a spot exchange rate is the middle price quoted by the People’s Bank of China on the day of transaction) on the balance sheet date. All differences are included in the consolidated income statement, except for: ①the differences arising from foreign currency borrowings related to the acquisition or construction of fixed assets which are qualified for capitalisation; ② except for other carrying amounts of the amortisation costs, the differences arising from changes of the foreign currency items available for sale. 13 INTERIM The foreign currency non-monetary items measured at historical cost shall still be measured by the functional REPORT currency translated at the spot exchange rate on the date of the transaction. Foreign currency non-monetary items measured at fair value are translated at the spot exchange rate on the date of determination of the fair value. The difference between the amounts of reporting currency before and after the translation will be treated as changes in fair value (including changes in foreign exchange rates) and recognised in profit or loss for the period or recognised as other consolidated income and included in the capital reserves. (2) Basis for translation of foreign currency financial statements Exchange differences arising from change in exchange rate where the preparation of consolidated financial statements relates to overseas operation and foreign currency monetary items materially constitute net investment in overseas operation shall be recorded into “translation reserve” in the shareholders’ equity: disposal of overseas operation shall be included into profits and losses on disposal in the current period. The financial statements denominated in foreign currency of a foreign operation are translated to RMB in comply with the following requirement: assets and liabilities on the balance sheet are translated at the spot exchange rate prevailing at the balance sheet date; owner’s equity items except for “retained profit” are translated at the spot exchange rates at the dates on which such items arose; income and expenses items in the income statement are translated at the average spot exchange rate at the date of transaction. The retained profit brought forward are reported at the prior year’s closing balance; the retained profit as at the end of the year are presented after translated the profit appropriation items; differences between the aggregate of asset and liability items and owners’ equity items are recognised as “translation differences arising on the translation of financial statements denominated in foreign currencies” in other consolidated income, and presented separately as under owners’ equity items in the balance sheet. On disposal of foreign operations and loss of control, exchange differences arising from the translation of financial statements denominated in foreign currencies related to the disposed foreign operation which has been included in owners’ equity in the balance sheet, shall be transferred to profit or loss in whole or in proportionate share in the period in which the disposal took place. Cash flow dominated in foreign currency or from foreign subsidiaries shall be translated at the spot exchange rate when it incurs. Effects arising from changes of exchange rate of cash shall be presented separately in the cash flow statements. The opening balance and the prior period’s figures are presented according to the translated amounts of the prior period. SHANDONG CHENMING PAPER HOLDINGS LIMITED 69 IX Financial Report IV. Significant accounting policies, accounting estimates and differences in the previous period (Cont’d) 9. Financial instruments (1) Classification of financial instruments Conventionally traded financial assets shall be recognised and derecognised at the trading date. Financial assets are divided into financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, held-to-maturity investments, loans and receivables and available for-sale financial assets when they are initially recognised. Financial liabilities are classified into financial liabilities at fair value and changes are carried through profit and loss for the current period and other financial liabilities at initial recognition. (2) Basis of recognition and method of measurement of financial instrument Financial assets are initially recognised at fair value. For financial assets measured at fair value and whose changes are carried through profit or loss, relevant transaction costs are directly recognised in profit or loss for the period. For financial assets classified as other categories, relevant transaction costs are included in the amount initially recognised. ① Financial assets carried at fair value through profit or loss for the current period They include financial assets held for trading and financial assets designated as at fair value through profit or loss for the current period. Financial assets may be classified as financial assets held for trading if one of the following conditions is met: A. the financial assets is acquired or incurred principally for the purpose of selling it in the near term; B. the 13 financial assets is part of a portfolio of identified financial instruments that are managed together and for which INTERIM there is objective evidence of a recent pattern of short-term profit-taking; or C. the financial assets is a derivative, REPORT excluding the derivatives designated as effective hedging instruments, the derivatives classified as financial guarantee contract, and the derivatives linked to an equity instrument investment which has no quoted price in an active market nor a reliably measured fair value and are required to be settled through that equity instrument. A financial asset may be designated as at fair value through profit or loss upon initial recognition only when one of the following conditions is satisfied: A. Such designation eliminates or significantly reduces a measurement or recognition inconsistency that would otherwise result from measuring assets or recognising the gains or losses on them on different bases; or B. The financial asset forms part of a group of financial assets or a group of financial assets and financial liabilities, which is managed and its performance is evaluated on a fair value basis, in accordance with the Group’s, documented risk management or investment strategy, and information about the grouping is reported to key management personnel on that basis. A financial asset at fair value through profit or loss is subsequently measured at fair value. Any gains or losses arising from changes in the fair value and any dividend or interest income earned on the financial asset are recognised in profit or loss in the current period. ② Held-to-maturity investments They are non-derivative financial assets with fixed maturity dates and fixed or determinable payments that the Group has positive intent and ability to hold to maturity. Held-to-maturity investments are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Gain or loss on derecognition, impairment or amortisation is recognised through profit or loss for the current period. The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial asset and of allocating interest income or expense over each period based on the effective interest of a financial asset or a financial liability (including a group of financial assets or financial liabilities). The effective interest is the rate that discounts future cash flows from the financial asset or financial liability over its expected life or (where appropriate) a shorter period to the carrying amount of the financial asset or financial liability. In calculating the effective interest rate, the Group will estimate the future cash flows (excluding future credit losses) by taking into account all contract terms relating to the financial assets or financial liabilities whilst considering various fees, transaction costs and discounts or premiums which are part of the effective interest rate paid or received between the parties to the financial assets or financial liabilities contracts. 70 SHANDONG CHENMING PAPER HOLDINGS LIMITED IX Financial Report IV. Significant accounting policies, accounting estimates and differences in the previous period (Cont’d) 9. Financial instruments (Cont’d) (2) Basis of recognition and method of measurement of financial instrument (Cont’d) ③ Loans and receivables They are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. Financial assets, including bills receivable, accounts receivable, interest receivable, dividends receivable, other receivables and entrusted loans are classified as loans and receivables by the Group. Loans and receivables are measured subsequently at the amortised cost by using the effective interest rate method. Gains or losses incurred at the time of derecognition, impairment or amortisation are charged to profit or loss in the current period. ④ Available-for-sale financial assets They include non-derivative financial assets that are designated in this category on initial recognition, and the financial assets other than the financial assets at fair value through profit and loss, loans and receivables and held-to-maturity investments. Available-for-sale financial assets are subsequently measured at fair value. The gain or loss on change in fair value are recognised as other comprehensive income and charged to capital reserves, except for impairment loss and exchange differences arising from foreign monetary financial assets and amortised cost which are accounted for through profit or loss for the current period. The financial assets will be transferred out of the financial assets on derecognition and accounted for through profit or loss for the current period. 13 INTERIM Interests received from available-for-sale financial assets held and the cash dividends declared by the REPORT investee are recognised as investment income. Financial liabilities are initially recognised at fair value. For financial liabilities measured at fair value and whose changes are carried through profit or loss, relevant transaction costs are directly recognised in profit or loss for the period. For financial liabilities classified as other categories, relevant transaction costs are included in the amount initially recognised. ① Financial liabilities measured at fair value and whose changes are carried through profit or loss for the period The criteria for a financial liability to be classified as held for trading and designated as at financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are the same as those for a financial asset to be classified as held for trading and designated as at financial assets at fair value through profit or loss. Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss for the period are subsequently measured at fair value. The gain or loss arising from changes in fair value and dividends and interest income related to such financial liabilities are included into the current profit or loss. ② Other financial liabilities Derivative financial liabilities which are linked to equity instruments that are not quoted in an active market and the fair value of which cannot be measured reliably measured, and which shall be settled by delivery of equity instruments are subsequently measured at cost. Other financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Gains or losses arising from derecognition or amortisation is recognised in profit or loss for the current period. ③ Financial Guarantee Contracts Financial guarantee contracts other than those designated as financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss is initially recognised at fair value, and shall be subsequently measured at the higher of the following: the amount determined in accordance with Accounting Standard for Business Enterprises No. 13 “Contingencies” and the amount initially recognised less cumulative amortisation recognised in accordance with the principles set out in Accounting Standard for Business Enterprises No. 14 “Revenue”.

Financial instruments (Cont’d) (3) Recognition and measurement of transfers of financial asset Financial asset that satisfied any of the following criteria shall be derecognised: ① the contract right to recover the cash flows of the financial asset has terminated; ② the financial asset, along with substantially all the risk and return arising from the ownership of the financial asset, has been transferred to the transferee; and ③ the financial asset has been transferred to the transferee, and the transferor has given up the control on such financial asset, though it does not assign maintain substantially all the risk and return arising from the ownership of the financial asset. When the entity does not either assign or maintain substantially all the risk and return arising from the ownership of the financial asset and does not give up the control on such financial asset, to the extent of its continuous involvement in the financial asset, the entity recognises it as a related financial asset and recognises the relevant liability accordingly. The extent of the continuous involvement is the extent to which the entity exposes to changes in the value of such financial assets. On derecognition of a financial asset, the difference between the following amounts is recognised in profit or loss for the current period: the carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received and any accumulated gain or loss that had been recognised directly in equity. If a part of the financial assets qualifies for derecognition, the carrying amount of the financial asset is allocated between the part that continues to be recognised and the part that qualifies for derecognition, based on the fair values of the respective parts. The difference between the following amounts is recognised in profit or loss for the 13 period: the sum of the consideration received and the carrying amount of the part that qualifies for derecognition INTERIM and the aforementioned carrying amount. REPORT (4) Derecognition of financial liabilities Financial liabilities are derecognised in full or in part only when the present obligation is discharged in full or in part. An agreement is entered between the Group (debtor) and a creditor to replace the original financial liabilities with new financial liabilities with substantially different terms, derecognise the original financial liabilities as well as recognise the new financial liabilities. When financial liabilities is derecognised in full or in part, the difference between the carrying amount of the financial liabilities derecognised and the consideration paid (including transferred non-cash assets or new financial liability) is recognised in profit or loss for the current period. (5) Method of determination of the fair value for financial assets and financial liabilities The fair value refers to the amount, at which both willing parties to a fair transaction who are familiar with the condition exchange their assets or clear off their debts under fair conditions. Financial instruments exist in an active market. Fair value is determined based on the quoted price in such market. An active market refers to where pricing is easily and regularly obtained from exchanges, brokers, industrial organisations and price fixing service organisations, representing the actual price of a market transaction that takes place in a fair deal. While financial instruments do not exist in an active market, the fair value is determined using valuation techniques. Valuation technologies include reference to be familiar with situation and prices reached in recent market transactions entered into by both willing parties, reference to present fair values of similar other financial instruments, cash flow discounting method and option pricing models. 72 SHANDONG CHENMING PAPER HOLDINGS LIMITED IX Financial Report IV. Significant accounting policies, accounting estimates and differences in the previous period (Cont’d) 9. Financial instruments (Cont’d) (6) Impairment tests and provision of financial assets (excluding amount receivables) In addition to financial assets at fair value through profit or loss for the current period, the Group reviews the book value of other financial assets at each balance sheet date and provide for impairment where there is objective evidence that financial assets are impaired. For a financial asset that is individually significant, the Group assesses the asset individually for impairment. For a financial asset that is not individually significant, the Group assess the asset individually for impairment or include the asset in a group of financial assets with similar credit risk characteristics and collectively assess them for impairment. If it is determined that no objective evidence of impairment exists for an individually assessed financial asset, whether the financial asset is individually significant or not, the financial asset is included in a group of financial assets with similar credit risk characteristics and collectively assessed for impairment. Financial assets for which an impairment loss is individually recognised are not included in the collective assessment for impairment. ① Impairment of held-to-maturity investments and loans and receivables The carrying amount of financial assets measured as costs or amortised costs are subsequently reduced to the present value discounted from its projected future cash flow. The reduced amount is recognised as impairment loss and recorded as profit or loss for the period. After recognition of the impairment loss from financial assets, if there is objective evidence showing recovery in value of such financial assets impaired and which is related to any event occurring after such recognition, the impairment loss originally recognised shall be reversed to the extent that the carrying value of the financial assets upon reversal will not exceed 13 INTERIM the amortised cost as at the reversal date assuming there is no provision for impairment. REPORT ② Impairment of available-for-sale financial assets In the event that decline in fair value of the available-for-sale equity instrument is regarded as “severe decline” or “non-temporary decline” on the basis of comprehensive related factors, it indicates that there is impairment loss of the available-for-sale equity instrument. In particular, “severe decline” refers to accumulative decline in fair value is more than 20%. “Non-temporary decline” refers to the fair value decreased continuously for more than 12 months. When the available-for-sale financial assets impair, the accumulated loss originally included in the capital reserve arising from the decrease in fair value was transferred out from the capital reserve and included in the profit or loss for the period. The accumulated loss that transferred out from the capital reserve is the balance of the acquired initial cost of asset, after deduction of the principal recovered, amortised amounts, current fair value and the impairment loss originally included in the profit or loss. After recognition of the impairment loss, if there is objective evidence showing recovery in value of such financial assets impaired and which is related to any event occurring after such recognition in subsequent periods, the impairment loss originally recognised shall be reversed. The impairment loss reversal of the available-for-sale equity instrument will be recognised as other consolidated income, and the impairment loss reversal of the available-for-sale debt instrument will be included in the profit or loss for the period. When an equity investment that is not quoted in an active market and the fair value of which cannot be measured reliably, or the impairment loss of a derivative financial asset linked to the equity instrument that shall be settled by delivery of that equity instrument, then it will not be reversed. (7) Reclassification of outstanding held-to-maturity investments as available-for-sale financial assets as a basis to show the intention or ability to make changes Not applicable.

Basis for recognition and measurement of bad debt provision for accounts receivables The Group carries out an overall inspection on the carrying amount of accounts receivable on the balance sheet date. Where there arises any of the following objective evidences indicating that accounts receivable have been impaired, an impairment provision will be made: ① a serious financial difficulty occurs to the debtor; ② the debtor breaches any of the contractual stipulations (such as he fails to pay or delays the payment of interests or the principal); ③ the debtor will probably go bankrupt or carry out other financial reorganisations; ④ other objective evidences show that the accounts receivable are impaired. (1) Bad debt provision for a an individually significant item of accounts receivable Basis of determination or criterion of amount Accounts receivable of more than RMB1 million is recognised as for individually significant items individually significant accounts receivable by the Group. Method for making bad debt provision For accounts receivable that is individually significant, the Group individually for individually significant items assesses such accounts receivable individually for impairment. If it is determined that no objective evidence of impairment exists for an individually assessed financial asset, the financial asset is included in a group of financial assets with similar credit risk characteristics and collectively assessed for impairment. Accounts receivable for which an impairment loss is individually recognised are not included in a group of accounts receivable with similar credit risk characteristics and collectively assessed for impairment. 13 INTERIM (2) Accounts receivable making bad debt provision by portfolio REPORT Method for making bad Name of portfolio debt provision by portfolio Basis for determining the portfolio No-risk portfolio Accounts receivable which are individually significant or have certain specific risk features and are determined by the management to be not impaired as at the balance sheet date upon subject to impairment tests separately.

The realisable value of inventories shall be determined on the basis of definite evidence, purpose of holding the inventories and effect of after-balance-sheet-date events. At the balance sheet date, inventories are calculated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Provision for inventory impairment is made when the net realisable value is lower than the cost. Provisions for impairment of inventory shall be made according to the amount by which the cost of a single item exceeds its net realisable value. After making the provision for inventory impairment, in case the factors causing inventory impairment no longer exists, and the net realisable value of an inventory is higher than its book-value, the original provision for inventory 13 impairment shall be transferred back and incorporated into the profit or loss for the current period.

Long-term equity investments (1) Determination of investment cost For a long-term equity investment acquired through a business combination involving enterprises under common control, the initial investment cost of the long-term equity investment shall be the absorbing party’s share of the carrying amount of the owner’s equity of the party being absorbed at the date of combination. For a long- term equity investment acquired through business combination not involving enterprises under common control, the business combination cost is the aggregate of assets paid, liabilities incurred or undertook and fair value of equity securities issued by the acquirer. Agent fees incurred by the acquirer for the acquisition such as audit, legal service, and valuation and consultation fees, and other related administration expenses are charged to profit or loss in the current period at the time such expenses incurred. Transaction cost incurred for issuing equity securities or debt securities, which are used as consideration for the combination, are included in the initial recognition amount of the equity securities or debt securities. The long-term equity investment acquired through means other than a business combination shall be initially measured at its cost. Such cost is depended upon the acquired means of long-term equity investments, which is recognised based on the purchase cost actually paid by the Group in cash, the fair value of equity securities issued by the Group, the agreed value of investment contract or agreement, the fair value or original carrying amounts of the non-monetary asset exchange transaction which the asset will be transferred out of the Group, and the fair value of long-term equity investment itself. The costs, taxes and other necessary expenses that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the long-term equity investments are also included in the investment cost. (2) Subsequent measurement and profit or loss recognition 13 INTERIM Cost method is used to account for a long-term equity investment where the investor does not have joint control REPORT or significant influence over the investee, and the investment is not quoted in an active market and its fair value cannot be reliably measured. Long-term equity investments with joint control or significant influence on the investee are accounted for using equity method. Long-term equity investment without control or joint control or significant influence with a fair value which can be reliably measured is accounted for as available-for-sale financial assets. In addition, long-term equity investments with control on the investee are accounted for using cost method and record in the Company’s financial statements. ① Long-term equity investments accounted for using the cost method Under the cost method, a long-term equity investment is measured at its initial investment cost. Except receiving the actual consideration paid for the investment or the declared but not yet distributed cash dividends or profits which is included in the consideration, investment gains for the period is recognised as the cash dividends or profits declared by the investee.

Long-term equity investments (Cont’d) (2) Subsequent measurement and profit or loss recognition (Cont’d) ② Long-term equity investments accounted for using the equity method Under the equity method, where the initial investment cost of a long-term equity investment exceeds the investor’s interest in the fair value of the investee’s identifiable net assets at the acquisition date, no adjustment shall be made to the initial investment cost. Where the initial investment cost is less than the investor’s interest in the fair value of the investee’s identifiable net assets at the acquisition date, the difference shall be charged to profit or loss for the current period, and the cost of the long term equity investment shall be adjusted accordingly. Under the equity method, investment gain or loss represents the Group’s share of the net profits or losses made by the investee for the current period. The Group shall recognize its share of the investee’s net profits or losses based on the fair values of the investee’s individual separately identifiable assets at the time of acquisition, after making appropriate adjustments thereto in conformity with the accounting policies and accounting periods of the Group. The unrealised gain or loss from internal transactions entered into between the Group and its associated enterprises and joint ventures is set off according to the shareholding attributable to the Group and accounted for as investment income and loss based such basis. However, the unrealised gain or loss from internal transactions entered into between the Group and its investee is not set up if belonging to impairment loss from assets transferred according to regulations such as “Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises No. 8 “Assets impairment”. In respect of the other consolidated income 13 of investees, the carrying amount of long-term equity investments is accordingly adjusted and recognised as other consolidated income and included in the capital reserves. INTERIM REPORT The Group’s share of net losses of the investee shall be recognised to the extent that the carrying amount of the long-term equity investment together with any long-term interests that in substance form part of the investor’s net investment in the investee are reduced to zero. If the Group has to assume additional obligations, the estimated obligation assumed shall be provided for and charged to the profit or loss as investment loss for the period. Where the investee is making profits in subsequent periods, the Group shall resume recognising its share of profits after setting off against the share of unrecognised losses. If there is debit variation in relation to the long-term equity investments in associates and joint venture held prior to first adoption of the Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises by the Group on 1 January 2007, the amounts amortised over the original residual term using the straight-line method is included in the profit or loss for the period. ③ Acquisition of minority interests Upon the preparation of the consolidated financial statements, since acquisition of minority interests increased of long-term equity investment which was compared to fair value of identifiable net assets recognised which are measured based on the continuous measurement since the acquisition date (or combination date) of subsidiaries attributable to the Group calculated according to the proportion of newly acquired shares, the difference of which recognised as adjusted capital surplus, capital surplus insufficient to set off impairment and adjusted retained earnings. 78 SHANDONG CHENMING PAPER HOLDINGS LIMITED IX Financial Report IV.

Long-term equity investments (Cont’d) (2) Subsequent measurement and profit or loss recognition (Cont’d) ④ Disposal of long-term equity investments In these consolidated financial statements, where the parent company disposes of a portion of the long- term equity investments in a subsidiary without a change in control, the difference between disposal cost and disposal of long-term equity investments relative to the net assets of the subsidiary is charged to the owners’ equity. Where the parent company disposes of a portion of the long-term equity investments in a subsidiary resulting in the loss of control over that subsidiary, the relevant accounting policy set out in Note IV. 4. (2) “Basis for preparation of the consolidated financial statements” shall apply. On disposal of a long-term equity investment otherwise, the difference between the carrying amount of the investment and the actual consideration paid is recognised through profit or loss in the current period. Where the equity method is adopted, other comprehensive income attributable to the long term equity investments previously included in shareholders’ equity shall be transferred to through profit or loss in the current period on a pro-rata basis. The remaining equity shall be recognised as the long-term equity investments or other relevant financial assets based on the carrying amount and subsequently measured in accordance with the accounting policies of the foresaid long-term equity investments or financial assets. The retrospective adjustment shall be made in accordance with the relevant provisions if the remaining equity is accounted for using the equity method instead of the cost method. (3) Recognition of having joint control or significant influence over the investee 13 The term “control” means that the Group has the power to decide an enterprise’s financial and operating policy, INTERIM REPORT pursuant to which, the Group can get the power to obtain benefits from its operating activities. Joint control is the contractually agreed sharing of control over an economic activity, which only exists when relevant and important financial affairs and management decisions related to such economic activity require sharing of control by investors who unanimously agree upon. Significant influence is the power to participate in the financial and operating policy decisions of an enterprise, but to fail to control or joint control the formulation of such policies together with other parties. In determining whether there is control or significance influence over the investee, potential voting right factors (such as the convertible corporate bonds for the period and the exercisable stock warrants for the period of the investee and other invested units held) were taken into account. (4) Impairment test method and impairment provision The Group assesses at each balance sheet date whether there is any indication that any long-term equity investments may be impaired. If there is any evidence indicating that an asset may be impaired, recoverable amount shall be estimated for the individual asset. If the recoverable amount of an asset is less than its carrying amount, the reduction is recognised as an impairment loss and charged to profit or loss for the current period. A provision for impairment loss of the asset is recognised accordingly. An impairment loss recognised on long-term equity investments shall not be reversed in a subsequent period.

Investment Property Investment property refer to real estate held to earn rentals or for capital appreciation, or both including the land use right that have been leased out; the land use right that held and will be transferred after appreciation; and the building that have been leased out. Investment property is initially measured at cost. Subsequent expenditures related to an investment property shall be included in cost of investment property only when the economic benefits associated with the asset will likely flow to the Group and its cost can be measured reliably. All other expenditures on investment property shall be included in profit or loss for the current period when incurred. The Group adopts cost method for subsequent measurement of investment property, which is depreciated or amortised using the same policy as that for buildings and land use rights. The method for impaired test of investment property and measurement of impairment provision are detailed in Note IV. 18. “Impairment of non-current non-monetary financial asset”. In the event that an owner-occupied property or inventories is converted to an investment property (or vice versa), upon the conversion, the property shall be stated at the carrying amount prior to the conversion. If an investment property is disposed of or if it withdraws permanently from use and no economic benefit will be obtained from the disposal, the recognition of it as an investment property shall be terminated. When an investment property is sold, transferred, retired or damaged, the amount of proceeds on disposal of the property net of the carrying amount and related tax and surcharges is recognised in profit or loss for the current period. 13 INTERIM 14. Fixed assets REPORT (1) Conditions for recognition of fixed assets Fixed assets are tangible assets that are held for use in the production or supply of goods or services, for rental to others, or for administrative purposes; and have a useful life of more than one accounting year. (2) Recognition basis and measurement method of fixed assets under finance lease Leases are classified as finance leases whenever the terms of the lease transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to the lessee. Title may or may not eventually be transferred. The fixed asset leased by the finance lease is used the policy consistent with that of proprietary fixed assets for provision of depreciated leased asset. If it can be reasonably determined that the ownership of the leased asset can be obtained upon expiration of the lease term, the leased asset shall be depreciated over its useful life. If it cannot be reasonably determined that the ownership of the leased asset can be obtained at the expiration of the lease term, the leased asset shall be depreciated over the shorter of the lease term or its useful life. (3) Method for depreciation of different fixed assets Useful lives Estimated Annual of depreciation residual depreciation Category (Year) value (%) rate (%) Buildings and structures 20-40 5-10 2.25-4.75 Machinery and equipment 8-20 5-10 4.5-11.88 Electronic equipment 5 5-10 18.00-19.00 Transportation equipment 5-8 5-10 11.25-19.00 80 SHANDONG CHENMING PAPER HOLDINGS LIMITED IX Financial Report IV.

Fixed assets (Cont’d) (4) Impairment testing methods and provision for impairment methods on fixed assets The Group will judge if there is any indication of impairment as at the balance sheet date in respect of fixed assets. If there is any evidence indicating that an asset may be impaired, recoverable amount shall be estimated for impairment test. If the impairment test result shows that the recoverable amount of an asset is less than its carrying amount, the impairment provision will be made according to the difference and recognised as an impairment loss. The recoverable amount of an asset is the higher of its fair value less costs of disposal and the present value of the future cash flows expected to be derived from the asset. An asset’s fair value is the price in a sale agreement in an arm’s length transaction. If there is no sale agreement but the asset is traded in an active market, fair value shall be determined based on the bid price. If there is neither sale agreement nor active market for an asset, fair value shall be based on the best available information. Costs of disposal are expenses attributable to disposal of the asset, including legal fee, relevant tax and surcharges, transportation fee and direct expenses incurred to prepare the asset for its intended sale. The present value of the future cash flows expected to be derived from the asset over the course of continued use and final disposal is determined as the amount discounted using an appropriately selected discount rate. Provisions for assets impairment shall be made and recognised for the individual asset. If it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of the individual asset, the Group shall determine the recoverable amount of the asset group to which the asset belongs. The asset group is the smallest group of assets capable of generating cash flows independently. An impairment loss recognised on the aforesaid assets shall not be reversed in a subsequent period in respect of the restorable value. 13 INTERIM REPORT (5) Explanation on other matters Subsequent expenditures incurred for a fixed asset shall be included in the cost of the fixed asset, only if it is probable that economic benefits associated with the asset will flow to the Company and the relevant cost can be measured reliably; meanwhile the carrying amount of the replaced part shall be derecognised. Other subsequent expenditures shall be charged to profit or loss when incurred. When a fixed asset is sold, transferred, retired or damaged, the Group shall recognise the amount of any proceeds on disposal of the asset net of the carrying amount and related taxes in profit or loss for the current period. The Group reviews the useful life and estimated net residual value of a fixed asset and the depreciation method applied at least at each financial year-end. A change in the useful life or estimated net residual value of a fixed asset or the depreciation method used shall be accounted for as a change in accounting estimate.

Construction in progress (1) Types of the construction in progress Construction is progress refers to expenditures incurred for outstanding construction projects such as new construction, renovation and expansion of the Company’s fixed assets or technology and equipment upgrade and large-scale renovation works. (2) Criteria and time for transferring construction in progress to fixed assets Construction in progress is recognised based on the actual construction cost, including all expenditures incurred for construction projects, capitalised borrowing costs for the construction in progress before it has reached the working condition for its intended use, and other related expenses during the construction period. A construction in progress is transferred to fixed assets when it has reached the working condition for its intended use. (3) Impairment testing methods and provision for impairment methods on construction in progress The Group will judge if there is any indication of impairment as at the balance sheet date in respect of construction in progress. If there is any evidence indicating that an asset may be impaired, recoverable amount shall be estimated for impairment test. If the impairment test result shows that the recoverable amount of an asset is less than its carrying amount, the impairment provision will be made according to the difference and recognised as an impairment loss. The recoverable amount of an asset is the higher of its fair value less costs of disposal and the present value of the 13 future cash flows expected to be derived from the asset. An asset’s fair value is the price in a sale agreement in INTERIM an arm’s length transaction. If there is no sale agreement but the asset is traded in an active market, fair value REPORT shall be determined based on the bid price. If there is neither sale agreement nor active market for an asset, fair value shall be based on the best available information. Costs of disposal are expenses attributable to disposal of the asset, including legal fee, relevant tax and surcharges, transportation fee and direct expenses incurred to prepare the asset for its intended sale. The present value of the future cash flows expected to be derived from the asset over the course of continued use and final disposal is determined as the amount discounted using an appropriately selected discount rate. Provisions for assets impairment shall be made and recognised for the individual asset. If it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of the individual asset, the Group shall determine the recoverable amount of the asset group to which the asset belongs. The asset group is the smallest group of assets capable of generating cash flows independently. An impairment loss recognised on the aforesaid assets shall not be reversed in a subsequent period in respect of the restorable value. 16. Borrowing costs (1) Principles for recognising capitalisation of borrowing costs Borrowing costs incurred by the Company that are directly attributable to acquisition or production of a capitalisation qualifying asset shall be capitalised as part of the cost of that asset upon the following condition is satisfied: ① expenditures for the asset have incurred; ② borrowing costs have incurred; ③ activities relating to the acquisition or production of the asset that are necessary to prepare the asset for its intended use or sale have commenced. Other borrowing interest, discount or premium and foreign exchange difference shall be recognised as expense in the period in which they are incurred. 82 SHANDONG CHENMING PAPER HOLDINGS LIMITED IX Financial Report IV. Significant accounting policies, accounting estimates and differences in the previous period (Cont’d) 16. Borrowing costs (Cont’d) (2) Period for capitalisation of borrowing costs For borrowing costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset, when expenditures for the asset and borrowing costs are being incurred, activities relating to the acquisition, construction or production of the asset that are necessary to prepare the asset for its intended use or sale have commenced, such borrowing costs shall be capitalised as part of the cost of that asset; and capitalisation shall discontinue when the qualifying asset is ready for its intended use or sale. (3) Period for suspension of capitalisation Capitalisation of borrowing costs shall be suspended during periods in which the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset is interrupted abnormally, when the interruption is for a continuous period of more than 3 months, until the acquisition, construction or production of the qualifying asset is resumed. (4) Calculation of the amount of capitalisation of borrowing costs Where funds are borrowed for a specific purpose, the amount of interest to be capitalised shall be the actual interest expense incurred on that borrowing for the period less any bank interest earned from depositing the borrowed funds before being used into banks or any investment income on the temporary investment of those funds. Where funds are borrowed for general purpose, the Group shall determine the amount of interest to be capitalised on such borrowings by applying a capitalisation rate to the weighted average of the excess amounts of cumulative expenditures on the asset over and above the amounts of specific-purpose borrowings. The capitalisation rate shall be the weighted average of the interest rates applicable to the general-purpose 13 INTERIM borrowings. REPORT 17. Biological assets Consumable biological assets refer to biological assets held for sale or to be harvested as agricultural produce in the future, which include growing commercial forests. Consumable biological assets are stated at cost at initial recognition. The cost of self-planting, self-cultivating consumable biological assets is the necessary expenses directly attributable to such assets prior to canopy closure, including borrowing costs eligible for capitalisation. Subsequent expenses incurred after canopy closure shall be included in profit or loss for the current period. The cost of consumable biological assets shall, at the time of harvest or disposal, be carried forward at carrying value using the rotation age method. All the consumable biological assets of the Company are subsequently measured at fair value as they are quoted in an active market where the Company can obtain a quoted market price and other information of the same or similar consumable biological assets and thus their fair values can be reliably estimated. Changes in fair values shall be recognised as profit or loss in the current period. SHANDONG CHENMING PAPER HOLDINGS LIMITED 83 IX Financial Report IV. Significant accounting policies, accounting estimates and differences in the previous period (Cont’d) 18. Intangible assets (1) Measurement of intangible assets An intangible asset shall be initially measured at cost. The expenditures incurred on an intangible asset shall be recognised as cost of the intangible asset only if it is probable that economic benefits associated with the asset will flow to the Group and the cost of the asset can be measured reliably. Other expenditures on an item asset shall be charged to profit or loss when incurred. Land use right acquired shall normally be recognised as an intangible asset. Self-constructed buildings (e.g. plants), related land use right and the buildings shall be separately accounted for as an intangible asset and fixed asset. For buildings and structures purchased, the purchase consideration shall be allocated among the land use right and the buildings on a reasonable basis. In case there is difficulty in making a reasonable allocation, the consideration shall be recognised in full as fixed assets. An intangible asset with a finite useful life shall be stated at cost less estimated net residual value and any accumulated impairment loss provision and amortised using the straight-line method over its useful life when the asset is available for use. Intangible assets with indefinite life are not amortised. The Group shall review the useful life of intangible asset with a finite useful life and the amortisation method applied at least at each financial year-end. A change in the useful life or amortisation method used shall be accounted for as a change in accounting estimate. For an intangible asset with an indefinite useful life, the Group shall review the useful life of the asset in each accounting period. If there is evidence indicating that the useful life of that intangible asset is finite, the Company shall estimate the useful life of that asset and apply the accounting 13 policies accordingly. INTERIM REPORT (2) Estimated useful life of intangible assets with a finite useful life Item Expected useful life Basis Land use rights 50 Legal use rights Computer software 5-10 Expected revenue term (3) Judgement basis on intangible assets with an indefinite useful life Not applicable. (4) Impairment provision for intangible assets For intangible assets with a finite useful life, the Group will judge if there is any indication of impairment as at the balance sheet date in respect of non-current non-financial assets such as fixed assets, construction in progress, intangible assets with a finite useful life, investment properties measured at cost, and long-term equity investments in subsidiaries, joint controlled entities and associates. If there is any evidence indicating that an asset may be impaired, recoverable amount shall be estimated for impairment test. Intangible assets with an indefinite useful life and intangible assets not in working conditions will be tested for impairment annually, regardless of whether there is any indication of impairment. 84 SHANDONG CHENMING PAPER HOLDINGS LIMITED IX Financial Report IV. Significant accounting policies, accounting estimates and differences in the previous period (Cont’d) 18. Intangible assets (Cont’d) (4) Impairment provision for intangible assets (Cont’d) If the impairment test result shows that the recoverable amount of an asset is less than its carrying amount, the impairment provision will be made according to the difference and recognised as an impairment loss. The recoverable amount of an asset is the higher of its fair value less costs of disposal and the present value of the future cash flows expected to be derived from the asset. An asset’s fair value is the price in a sale agreement in an arm’s length transaction. If there is no sale agreement but the asset is traded in an active market, fair value shall be determined based on the bid price. If there is neither sale agreement nor active market for an asset, fair value shall be based on the best available information. Costs of disposal are expenses attributable to disposal of the asset, including legal fee, relevant tax and surcharges, transportation fee and direct expenses incurred to prepare the asset for its intended sale. The present value of the future cash flows expected to be derived from the asset over the course of continued use and final disposal is determined as the amount discounted using an appropriately selected discount rate. Provisions for assets impairment shall be made and recognised for the individual asset. If it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of the individual asset, the Group shall determine the recoverable amount of the asset group to which the asset belongs. The asset group is the smallest group of assets capable of generating cash flows independently. An impairment loss recognised on the aforesaid assets shall not be reversed in a subsequent period in respect of the restorable value. (5) Specific standard on classifying the research phase and development phase of internal research and development activities of the Company 13 INTERIM Expenditure on internal research and development activities of the Group is categorised into expenditure arising REPORT from the research phase and expenditure arising from the development phase. Expenditure arising from the research phase is recognised as profit or loss in the current period. Expenditure arising from the development phase that satisfies the following conditions are recognised as intangible assets, while those that do not satisfy the following conditions are accounted for in the profit or loss for the current period: ① it is technically feasible that the intangible asset can be used or sold upon completion; ② there is intention to complete the intangible asset for use or sale; ③ the intangible asset can produce economic benefits, including there is evidence that the products produced using the intangible asset has a market or the intangible asset itself has a market; if the intangible asset is for internal use, there is evidence that there exists usage for the intangible asset; ④ there is sufficient support in terms of technology, financial resources and other resources in order to complete the development of the intangible asset, and there is ability to use or sell the intangible asset; ⑤ the expenditure attributable to the development phase of the intangible asset can be measured reliably. (1) Calculation of expenditure on internal research and development activities Expenditure arising from the research phase is recognised as profit or loss in the current period. Expenditure arising from the development phase that satisfies condition (5) are recognised as intangible assets, while those that do not satisfy the following conditions are accounted for in the profit or loss for the current period. If the expenditure arising from the research phase and the development phase cannot be distinguished separately, all development expenditure incurred are accounted for in the profit or loss for the current period.

Long-term prepaid expenses Long-term prepaid expenses are expenditures and other expenses which have incurred but that shall be amortised over the current period and subsequent periods of more than one year. Long-term prepaid expenses are amortised over the estimated benefit period using the straight-line method. 20. Accrued liabilities (1) Criteria for recognition of accrued liabilities Obligations pertinent to the contingencies which satisfy the following conditions are recognised as accrued liabilities: (1) The obligation is a current obligation borne by the Group; (2) it is likely that an outflow of economic benefits will be resulted from the performance of the obligation; and (3) the amount of the obligation can be reliably measured. (2) Method for measuring accrued liabilities At the balance sheet date, accrued liabilities shall be measured at the best estimate of the necessary expenses required for the performance of existing obligations, after taking into account relevant risks, uncertainties, time value of money and other factors pertinent to the contingencies. If all or some expenses incurred for settlement of accrued liabilities are expected to be borne by the third party, the compensation amount shall, on a recoverable basis, be recognised as asset separately, and compensation 13 amount recognised shall not be more than the carrying amount of accrued liabilities. INTERIM REPORT 21. Repurchase of the Company’s shares Share repurchase consideration paid and transaction costs to reduce the owner’s equity, repurchase, transfer or cancellation of the Company’s shares, the gains or losses are not recognised. The difference between the amount actually received and the carrying amount of the treasury shares is credited to the capital reserve for the transfer of treasury shares. When insufficient to dilute, capital reserve will be offset against the surplus reserve and retained profits. Treasury shares are cancelled at par value and by the number of shares cancelled to reduce the share capital. The difference between the book balance and the nominal value of the treasury shares shall be offset against the capital reserve. When insufficient to dilute, capital reserve will be offset against the surplus reserve and retained profits. 86 SHANDONG CHENMING PAPER HOLDINGS LIMITED IX Financial Report IV. Significant accounting policies, accounting estimates and differences in the previous period (Cont’d) 22. Revenue (1) The specific criteria for recognition of revenue from sales of goods Revenue is recognised when the Company has transferred to the buyer the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods, retains neither continuing managerial involvement to the degree usually associated with ownership nor effective control over the goods sold, will receive the economic benefits associated with the transaction, and can reliably measure the relevant amount of revenue and costs. (2) Basis for recognition of revenue from the use right of assigned assets Revenue is recognised on an accrual basis under the relevant contracts or agreements. (3) Basis for recognition of revenue from the rendering of services When the outcome of a transaction involving the rendering of services can be reliably estimated, it shall, on the balance sheet date, recognise the revenue from the rendering of services employing the percentage-of-completion method. The completion schedule of transaction concerning the rendering of services shall be ascertained according to the proportion of service costs incurred to the estimated total costs. The outcome of a transaction concerning the rendering of services can be reliably estimated, which shall concurrently satisfy: ① The relevant amount of revenue can be reliably measured; ② it is probable that the economic benefits will flow into the enterprise; ③ the completion schedule of the transaction can be reliably ascertained; and ④ transaction costs incurred and to be incurred can be reliably measured. When the outcome of a transaction involving the rendering of services cannot be reliably estimated, it shall 13 recognise the revenue from the rendering of services based on the cost of rendering services already incurred and INTERIM REPORT expected to be compensated, and the cost of rendering services incurred shall be recognised as an expense for the current period. If the cost of rendering services is expected not to be compensated, it shall be recognised as an expense. When a contract or agreement signed by the Group includes sales of goods and rendering of services, if sales of goods and rendering of services can be differentiated and separately measured, they will be recognised respectively. If sales of goods and rendering of services cannot be differentiated or cannot be separately measured, they will be recognised as sales of goods in full. (4) Basis and method for determination of completion schedule when revenue from the rendering of services and construction contracts is recognised based on the percentage-of-completion method When the outcome of a transaction involving the rendering of services can be reliably estimated, it shall, on the balance sheet date, recognise the revenue from the rendering of services employing the percentage-of-completion method. The completion schedule of transaction concerning the rendering of services shall be ascertained according to the proportion of service costs incurred to the estimated total costs. Where the outcome of a construction contracts can be reliably estimated, it shall, on the balance sheet date, recognise contract revenue and contacts expenses using the percentage of completion method. The completion schedule of a contract shall be ascertained according to the portion of accumulative actual contract costs incurred to the estimated total contract costs or the completed contract work to the estimated total contracts work or the actually measured completion schedule.

Government grant (1) Types Government grants are transfer of monetary assets or non-monetary assets from the government to the Group at no consideration, excluding capital considerations from the government as an owner of the Group. Government grants are classified into government grants related to assets and government grants related to income. (2) Accounting treatment If a government grant is in the form of a transfer of monetary asset, the item shall be measured at the amount received or receivable. If a government grant is in the form of a transfer of non-monetary asset, the item shall be measured at fair value. If fair value is not reliably determinable, the item shall be measured at a nominal amount and recognised immediately in profit or loss for the current period. A government grant related to an asset shall be recognised as deferred income, and evenly amortised to profit or loss over the useful life of the asset. For a government grant related to income, if the grant is a compensation for related expenses or losses to be incurred in subsequent periods, the grant shall be recognised as deferred income, and recognised in profit or loss over the periods in which the related costs are recognised; if the grant is a compensation for related expenses or losses already incurred, the grant shall be recognised immediately in profit or loss for the current period. For the repayment of a government grant already recognised, if there is any related deferred income, the repayment shall be off set against the carrying amount of the deferred income, and any excess shall be recognised 13 in profit or loss for the current period; if there is no related deferred income, the repayment shall be recognised INTERIM immediately in profit or loss for the current period. REPORT 24. Deferred income tax assets and deferred income tax liabilities (1) Basis for recognition of deferred income tax assets Deferred income tax assets are not recognised for deductible temporary differences related to the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction which is neither a business combination nor affects accounting profit or taxable profit (or deductible loss) at the time of the transaction. In addition, the Group recognizes the corresponding deferred income tax asset for deductible temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which the deductible temporary differences can be utilised, except when both of the following conditions are satisfied: it is not probable that the temporary difference will reverse in the foreseeable future; and it is not probable that taxable profits will be available in the future, against which the temporary difference can be utilised. The Company recognises a deferred income tax asset for the carry forward of deductible losses and tax credits to subsequent periods, to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the deductible losses and tax credits can be utilised. (2) Basis for recognition of deferred income tax liabilities Deferred income tax liabilities are not recognised for taxable temporary differences related to: the initial recognition of goodwill; and the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction which is neither a business combination nor affects accounting profit or taxable profit (or deductible loss) at the time of the transaction. In addition, the Group recognises the corresponding deferred income tax liability for taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures, except when both of the following conditions are satisfied: the Group able to control the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference; and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future. 88 SHANDONG CHENMING PAPER HOLDINGS LIMITED IX Financial Report IV.

Operating lease and finance lease (1) Accounting treatment of operating lease ① Operating lease business with the Group recorded as lessee Lease payment for operating lease is recognised as related asset cost or profits and losses for the current period using the straight-line method over the lease term. The initial direct cost is directly accounted in profit or loss for the current period. Contingent rent is recognised as profit or loss for the current period upon occurrence. ② Operating lease business with the Group recorded as lessor Rental income is recognised in profit or loss for the current period using the straight-line method over the lease term. The initial direct cost where the amount is larger is capitalised when incurred, and accounted for as profit or loss for the current period on the same basis as recognition of rental income over the entire lease period; the initial direct cost where the amount is fewer is included in the profit or loss for the period when incurred. Contingent rental is accounted for as profit or loss for the period in which it is incurred. (2) Accounting treatment of finance lease Leases are classified as finance leases whenever the terms of the lease transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to the lessee. Title may or may not eventually be transferred. All other leases are classified as operating leases. 13 The Group as a lessee under a finance lease INTERIM REPORT On the lease beginning date, a lessee shall recognise the lower of the fair value of the leased asset on the lease beginning date and the present value of the minimum lease payments as the recorded value, and recognise the minimum lease payments as the recorded value of long-term accounts payable, and the difference between such amounts shall be determined as unrecognised finance charge. The initial direct costs directly attributable to the leased item incurred during the process of lease negotiation and execution of the leasing agreement shall be accounted for as the value of the leased asset. The balance of the minimum lease payments after deducting the unrecognised financing charge shall be separately presented as long-term liabilities and long-term liabilities due within one year. The unrecognised financing charge shall be accounted for during the lease period using the effective interest method and recognised as financing charge for the period. Contingent rent payments are recognised in the profit and loss for the period when actually incurred. SHANDONG CHENMING PAPER HOLDINGS LIMITED 89 IX Financial Report IV.

Assets held for sale (1) Criteria for recognition of assets held for sale If the Group has made a resolution in respect of disposal of a non-current asset and signed an irrevocable transfer agreement with the transferee, and such transfer is likely to be completed within one year, this non-current asset shall be accounted for as non-current assets held for sale. (2) Accounting treatment for assets held for sale The non-current assets held for sale are not depreciated nor amortised and calculated at the lower of carrying amount and net amount of the fair value less disposal cost. Non-current assets held for sale include individual asset and disposal group. If the group of disposal is a set of asset groups and goodwill received from business combination is allocated to such asset groups in accordance with the “Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises No.8 “Assets Impairment” or such disposal group is an operation in the asset groups, it shall include the goodwill in business combination. If an asset or disposal group is classified as held for sale, but fails to meet recognition requirements for noncurrent assets held for sale, it shall no longer be classified as assets held for sale and calculated at the lower of the following two amounts: (1) the carrying amount of such asset or disposal group before being classified as assets held for sale subsequent to the adjustment to the originally recognised depreciation, amortisation or impairment under the condition that they are not classified as assets held for sale; and (2) the recoverable amount at the date on which no future sale is decided. 13 27.

Other significant accounting policies, accounting estimates and preparation method of financial statements Critical accounting judgments and estimate The Group needs to make judgments, estimates and assumptions as to the carrying amount of statement items which cannot be accurately calculated during the application of the Group’s accounting policies. Such judgments, estimates 13 INTERIM and assumptions are made based on the historical experiences of the Group’s management and taking into account REPORT other relevant factors, which may affect the reported amount of revenue, expenses, assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent liabilities at the balance sheet date. However, the outcome from such estimate uncertainties may cause critical adjustment to the carrying amount of assets or liabilities which may be affected in the future. The Group regularly reviews the aforesaid judgments, estimates and assumptions on the basis of continued operation. A revision to accounting estimates is recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if it only affects that period. A revision is recognised in the period of the revision and future periods if it affects both current and future periods. At the balance sheet date, the critical areas where Group needs to make judgments, estimates and assumptions as to the items amount of financial statements are set out below: (1) Provision for bad debts The Group adopts the allowance method to account for bad debt loss under the accounting policies of accounts receivable. Impairment of accounts receivable is based on the recoverability of assessed accounts receivable. Given the management’s judgment and estimate required for impairment of accounts receivable, the difference between the actual outcome and original estimate will affect the carrying amount of accounts receivable and provision and reversal of bad debts of accounts receivable during the estimate revision period. (2) Allowance for inventories Under the accounting policies of inventories and by measuring at the lower of cost and net realisable value, the Group makes allowance for inventories which have costs higher than net realisable value or become obsolete and slow-moving. Write-down of inventories to their net realisable values is based on the saleability of the evaluated inventory and their net realisable values. Given the management’s judgments and estimates required for inventory impairment on the basis of definite evidence, purpose of holding the inventories and other factors, the difference between the actual outcome and original estimate will affect the carrying amount of inventories and provision and reversal of bad debts of inventories allowance during the estimate revision period.

Other significant accounting policies, accounting estimates and preparation method of financial statements (Cont’d) Critical accounting judgments and estimate (Cont’d) (3) Subsequent measurement of biological assets The Group has appointed an independent professional valuer to value the fair value of the biological assets. When the valuer determines the fair value, the valuation method used by the valuer includes some assumptions. Directors have judged that the valuation method reflects the prevailing market conditions. (4) Provision for impairment of non-financial non-current assets At the balance sheet date, the Group makes its judgment as to whether there is any evidence indicating potential impairment of non-current assets other than financial assets. Intangible assets with indefinite useful life shall be tested for impairment when there is any indication of impairment in addition to the annual impairment testing. Other non-current assets other than financial assets shall be tested for impairment if there is any evidence indicating that their carrying amount cannot be recovered. When the carrying amount of an asset or asset groups is higher than the recoverable amount, being the higher of its fair value less costs of disposal and the present value of the future cash flows expected to be derived from the asset, it indicates impairment. The net amount of the fair value less costs of disposal is determined by making reference to the price in a sale agreement in an arm’s length transaction or the observable market price less the incremental costs directly 13 attributable to such assets disposal. INTERIM REPORT In projecting the present value of the future cash flows, critical judgments shall be made to the output, selling price and relevant operating costs of such assets (or asset groups) and the discount rate applied in calculating the discount. In estimating the recoverable amount, the Group may adopt all relevant materials including the projections as to the output, selling price and relevant operating costs based on reasonable and supportive assumptions. The test shall be performed at least once a year as to whether there is any impairment. This requires an estimate for the present value of the future cash flows of the asset groups or sets of asset groups to which goodwill is allocated. In estimating the present value of the future cash flows, the Group needs to estimate the cash flows generated from the future asset groups or sets of asset groups. Meanwhile, the present value of future cash flows is determined using an appropriately selected discount rate. (5) Depreciation and amortisation The Group shall provide depreciation and amortisation for investment properties, fixed assets and intangible assets over their useful lives and after taking into account of their residual value, using straight-line method. The Group shall regularly review the useful lives to determine the amount depreciated and amortised to be accounted for in each reporting period. The useful life is determined by the Group according to its previous experience on the similar assets and estimated technical innovation. If there is any material change in the previously made estimate, the depreciation and amortisation will be adjusted over the future period. (6) Deferred income tax assets It is probable that all unused tax loss will be recognised as the deferred income tax assets to the extent there will be sufficient taxable profits against which the deducible loss is available. This requires the Group’s management to apply numerous judgments to estimate the time and amount generated from the future taxable profits so as to determine the amount of deferred income tax assets with reference to the tax planning strategy. (7) Income tax There are some uncertainties in tax treatment and calculation for some transactions of the Group during its ordinary course of business. The approval from the tax authority is required for pre-tax expending of some items. Any difference between the final recognition outcome of such tax matters and the initially estimated amount will exert an effect on the current income tax and deferred income tax during their final recognition period. 92 SHANDONG CHENMING PAPER HOLDINGS LIMITED IX.

For the purpose of impairment testing, the carrying amount of goodwill presented separately in the financial statements shall be allocated to the asset groups or group of assets benefiting from synergy of business combination. If the recoverable amount is less than the carrying amount, the Group shall recognise an impairment loss. The amount of impairment loss shall first reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the asset group or set of asset groups, and then reduce the carrying amount of other assets (other than goodwill) within the asset group or set of asset groups, pro rata on the basis of the carrying amount of each asset. An impairment loss recognised on the aforesaid assets shall not be reversed in a subsequent period in respect of the restorable value. 13 INTERIM The goodwill of the Company arose from the business combination not under common control during the prior years.
