              Long-term equity investments’” (Cai Kuai [2014] No. 14) and “Notice on the issuance of ‘Accounting Standard for Business

            IV Directors’ Report


       I.     Overview
              2014 marked an important year of reform and innovation for paper making industry. The paper making industry in China has
              been entering into a new stage of transformation and upgrade in 2014. Some paper types are in a phase of overcapacity due
              to slowdown in economic growth and weakness in market demand, thus resulting in fierce competition in the paper making
              industry. In the first half of 2014, the domestic pulp and paper market was sluggish due to the macro environment. The overall
              market development was weak.

              On one hand, some small and medium-sized enterprises left the market as a result of elimination of outdated production
              capacity and stricter environmental protection policy. This lowered the pressure of the new production capacity on the supply
              in the industry to a certain extent, which was conductive to a proactive increase in price proposed by enterprises. Meanwhile,
              the continued low level of raw material prices relieved the pressure on the operating costs of enterprises. On the other hand,
              the slow recovery of market demand prevented the price from rising. Enterprises therefore underwent more production and
              operation difficulties.

              During the reporting period, the Company’s revenue amounted to RMB9,082.0206 million, down by 9.43 % from the
              corresponding period of the prior year. The net profit attributable to shareholders of the Company was RMB242.4611 million,
              down by 27.28% from the corresponding period of the prior year.

              During the reporting period, the Company specified the working principles of “team building, strict management, outstanding
              business performance, achieving good results” for the year and strengthened their implementation and putting them into
              practice. It sorted out the existing management system, enhanced team building, strengthened strict management, improved
              incentive schemes and further mobilised the enthusiasm of the cadres and staff. The Company increased investment in high-
              efficiency areas by optimising product structure and increase. It improved performance appraisal systems to fully arouse the
              enthusiasm of sales staff. It reduced inventories to proactively respond to the market through measures including market
              research and timely developed marketing strategies. The Company also stepped up efforts to promote new products, the                14
              result of innovation and research and development and established professional sales teams for high value-added products            INTERIM
                                                                                                                                                   REPORT
              including the “Forest Love” household paper, thermal paper and glassine paper to increase the revenue of the Company.

              During the reporting period, Jilin Chenming’s environmental protection relocation project, Wuhan Chenming’s household
              paper project and Shouguang Meilun’s paper additives project commenced operation and were reclassified as fixed
              assets, which played an important role in the Company’s restructuring, cost reduction and efficiency enhancement. Jiangxi
              Chenming’s 350,000 tonne high-end packaging paper project, Zhanjiang Chenming’s 180,000 tonne paper cup sheets
              and 190,000 tonne culture paper projects, Huanggang Chenming’s integrated forestry, pulp and paper project, Shouguang
              City’s 400,000 tonne chemical pulp project, Haicheng Haiming’s magnesite mining project, Guangdong Huirui’s waterfront
              comprehensive regulation works, and Wuhan Wan Xing’s real estate , and other projects in the pipeline commenced orderly
              in accordance with our plans, which accelerated the transformation, upgrade and restructuring of the Company, thus further
              enhancing the Company’s overall competitiveness.

              During the reporting period, a finance company was approved to commence operation. Meanwhile, the financial leasing
              company also commenced operation. Therefore, the Company became the first enterprise in the paper making industry to
              own a finance company and a financial leasing company. The operation of the finance company enables the temporarily idle
              capital within the Group to be under the central management of the finance company for the operation in the interbank lending
              market and provision of various financial services, thus realising the transformation of capital management from a ‘custody
              mode’ to an ‘operation mode’ to effectively enhance the efficiency of the use of capital and achieve capital appreciation, and
              pave the way for new diversification in the development of the Company.

             IV Directors’ Report





              VI. Analysis of Core Competitiveness
                  The Company is a large enterprise primarily engaged in forestry, pulping and paper-making operations. It is also the only listed
                  company with three types of listed shares (i.e. A shares, B shares and H shares) in China. Compared with other enterprises in
                  the industry, the Company has the following advantages:

                  (1)   Scale advantages: As China’s largest state-owned paper making enterprise, after years of development, the Company
                        has achieved annual pulp and paper production capacity of 8.00 million tonnes and is capable to compete with
                        international paper making enterprises in scale. Large-scale centralised production has provided the Company with
                        obvious economic benefits, which are reflected not only in the manufacturing costs of products, but also in its strong
                        market influence in raw material procurement, product pricing and industry policy making.

                  (2)   Product advantages: While the production scale of the Company expands rapidly, its product mix also continues to
                        optimise. In recent years, the Company has built the production lines for high-end coated paper, high-end light weight
                        coated paper, high-end white paper board and high-end duplex press paper, and has achieved higher technological
                        content of products and added values as well as a higher gross profit margin. The product mix of the Company has
                        changed from one that focused mainly on ordinary offset paper to a wide product range including electrostatic paper,
                        duplex press paper, light weight coated paper, news press paper, coated paper, white paper board and household
                        paper, and thus the Company has become the enterprise that offers the widest and the most complete product range
                        in China’s paper making industry. Proportion of the Company’s high-end products will further increase in the future.
                        Diversification and gentrification of the product mix have not only greatly enhanced the Company’s ability to withstand
                        market risks, but also enabled the Company to maintain a relatively high profitability.

                  (3)   Advantages in technical equipment: The Company’s overall technical equipment has reached the advanced international
                        level. The main production equipment has been imported from internationally renowned manufacturers, including
   14                   Metso and Ahlstrom of Finland, Fuyite of Germany, Andritz of Austria and ABB of the United States. The technical
   INTERIM              equipment used by the Company generally reflects the characteristics of being technology-intensive and the integration
    REPORT
                        of mechanical and electrical in the paper making industry nowadays. The degassing technology, wet end chemical
                        technology, intelligent sheet lateral control technology, coating preparation technology, free-jet coating technology,
                        multi-nip pressure balanced burnishing technology and independent developed processes of the slurry system have all
                        reached or surpassed the international advanced level.

                  (4)   Research and innovation advantages: Leveraging its research strengths and relying on state-level enterprise technical
                        centres and post-doctoral research stations, the Company has established a comprehensive intellectual property rights
                        system, and has continuously enlarged its technological innovation capacity and research and development efforts to
                        actively develop new products and proprietary technology with high technology content and added values. Meanwhile,
                        Chenming Paper Technology Centre is actively engaged in technological cooperation with higher education institutions,
                        research units and international advanced enterprises, which has helped the Company to establishing a research and
                        development network leveraging both the domestic and international advanced paper making research bases, and
                        guaranteed the Company’s leading position in industry research in China.

                  (5)   Comprehensive cost advantages: The Company has a relative advantage in comprehensive cost, which is mainly
                        reflected in: first, the Company has optimised the operation of the production lines through stringent management,
                        which has substantially reduced the waste of resources in evaporating, emitting, dripping or leaking, and the Company’s
                        energy consumption per tonne of paper is also controlled at a relatively low level; secondly, striving for the integrated
                        development of forestry, pulp and paper, the Company has built up forest land of approximately 2.00 million mu and
                        established several advanced pulp production lines, thus increasing the supply for major raw materials; thirdly, the
                        Company has reduced costs through the construction of the captive power plant to ensure energy supply.




                                                                                       SHANDONG CHENMING PAPER HOLDINGS LIMITED                      13
  
       IV Directors’ Report


      VI. Analysis of Core Competitiveness (Cont’d)
          (6)   Funding advantages: The paper making industry is a capital-intensive industry, and funding is one of the most important
                factors which affect the development of the industry. The Company has high profitability and credit status, and has
                maintained long-term stable cooperative relations with the banks, which provide the Company with an unobstructed
                financing capacity. In recent years, the Company has made full use of indirect financing channels to accelerate its
                development. While the Company has increased borrowings, it has maintained higher returns on net assets, improved
                its earnings ratio, and leveraged the advantage of financial leverage. All these are in line with the goal of maximisation
                of shareholders’ wealth. Since its listing, the Company has maintained good operating results and a sound corporate
                governance structure. It has conducted several financing activities in domestic and foreign stock markets. The funds
                obtained have been applied effectively, which has provided the Company with stronger abilities in direct financing in the
                stock market. The establishment of finance company and financial leasing company has diversified the development of
                the Company.

          (7)   Advantages in environmental regulation capacity: Over the years, the Company has firmly established “environmental
                protection first upon scale expansion” as the concept of development. The Company has ensured the enhancement
                of economic and environmental benefits simultaneously by giving equal importance to environmental protection
                and production. In recent years, the Company and its subsidiaries have constructed the pollution treatment facilities
                including the alkali recovery system, middle water treatment system, white water recovery system, black liquor
                comprehensive utilisation system, desulfurisation and denitrification system and the sewage treatment plants, which
                guarantee that the environmental protection facilities can meet the demand of the rapid expansion of the Company.

                The industry to which the Company belongs is the paper making industry, which is a light industry. The paper making          INTERIM

                industry is an important basic raw materials industry which is closely related to the national economy and social
                development. The paper making industry features capital and skills intensive characteristics with prominent economy of
                scale. Its growth rate is strongly and positively correlated to that of GDP. In respect of the industry, since 2013, some
                paper types are in a phase of overcapacity due to slowdown in economic growth and weak market demand, resulting
                in fierce competition in the paper making industry. The outlook of the domestic paper and pulp market is not promising
                due to the macro environment. The overall market development is weak with sluggish market condition. However,
                the development conditions for the paper making industry are gradually improving in the long run. 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”. Elimination of outdated production capacity and the stricter environmental protection
                policy will force some small and medium-sized enterprises to leave the industry, thereby lowering the pressure of the
                new production capacity on the supply in the industry to a certain extent, which is conducive to a proactive increase in
                price proposed by enterprises. Meanwhile, the continued low level of raw material prices relieved the pressure on the
                operating costs of enterprises. 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. The Company has 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 operation of the finance company and the financial leasing company
                signifies that the Company has officially stepped into the financial sector. Moreover, the Company has engaged in
                various operations such as waterfront regulation, magnesite mining, and real estate development, thereby expanding its
                industry chain with a more rationalised industry positioning, which further strengthen the Company’s competitiveness
                and development potential. As the industry gradually recovers with the economic turnaround, the results of the
                Company will make great strides.

              VII. Outlook on the future development of the Company (Cont’d)
                  4.   Capital requirements, source of funds and plan for usage
                       The future capital requirement of the Company mainly arises from the normal production and operation and Zhanjiang
                       Chenming’s 180,000 tonne paper cup sheets and 190,000 tonne culture paper projects, Jiangxi Chenming’s 350,000
                       tonne high-end packaging paper project, Huanggang Chenming’s integrated forestry, pulp and paper project,
                       Shouguang City’s 400,000 tonne chemical pulp project, Haicheng Haiming’s magnesite mining project, Guangdong
                       Huirui’s waterfront comprehensive regulation works project, Wuhan Wan Xing’s real estate development project and
                       other projects in the pipeline. The Company employs the following measures to satisfy it capital requirement:

                       Firstly, the Company will further improve its marketing network, optimise its marketing organisation structure and
                       increase its sales channels by developing new customer sources and establishing strategic partnerships with quality
                       customers. It will also strengthen its management of capital appropriations to reduce capital appropriations and speed
                       up the turnover of the funds.

                       Secondly, the Company will leverage the overseas financing platform by increasing its overseas financing at lower costs
                       and make good use of overseas funds.

                       Thirdly, the Company will enhance the centralised management of the Group’s fund and improve the efficiency of capital
                       use through the finance company and financial leasing company so as to further increase the Group’s fund settlement,
                       management, investment and financing ability, thus reducing its financing cost.

                       Fourthly, the Company will establish strategic partnership with major financial institutions to leverage the regional
                       advantages of various subsidiaries, and proactively obtain direct financing from the interbank market and capital market

   14
                       to secure the capital requirement for project construction and production and operation.

   INTERIM        5.   Risk factors likely to be faced and the measures to be taken
    REPORT
                       As a basic raw materials industry of the national economy, the paper making 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 paper
                       making 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 Company’s
                       products mainly comprised high-end paper products, and wood pulp and waste paper have accounted for a higher
                       proportion of the production cost. 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.

                       Hence, the Company will focus on the construction of Zhanjiang Chenming’s pulp project and ancillary raw material
                       bases, as well as the construction of Huanggang Chenming pulp project and ancillary raw material bases. The Company
                       will establish the “forestry-pulp-paper integration” chain industry and construct the chemical pulp project of production
                       capacity of 400,000 tonnes in Shouguang City, thereby eliminating the limitations of upper-stream resources on the
                       Company and enhancing Company’s sustainable development.




                                                                                      SHANDONG CHENMING PAPER HOLDINGS LIMITED                       17

      VII. Outlook on the future development of the Company (Cont’d)
          5.   Risk factors likely to be faced and the measures to be taken (Cont’d)
               Industrial risk. Some paper types are in a phase of overcapacity due to slowdown in economic growth and weak market
               demand, thus resulting in fierce competition in the paper making industry. The excess capacity is to be absorbed in the
               market.

               Hence, the Company, under the guiding philosophy of “transformation and upgrade”, will work on new product
               development so as to diversify its product portfolio and enhance its ability to cope with market changes. It will also
               focus on the development of high-end paper products, thereby enhancing its core competitiveness. The Company will
               step up efforts to export its products and get rid of the bottleneck in exports to explore its overseas market. Meanwhile,
               the Company will actively expand into new industries to diversify its business.

               Policy risk. On 30 December 2011, the National Development and Reform Commission, the Ministry of Industry and the
               State Forestry Administration jointly issued the “12th Five-Year Plan” of the paper making industry, which has stipulated
               the guiding ideology, basic principles, development objectives, major tasks, key projects, policy initiatives and planning
               implementation for the industry development during the 12th Five-Year period. At present, the industry has entered into
               an important transitional period, and the mode which supported the rapid development of the paper making industry in
               the past has currently faced the dual pressures of resources and environment. From the point of view of China’s policy,
               China will change the mode of growth through optimising the layout of the paper making industry and the raw material
               structure and product structure, in order to promote a modern paper making industry based on recycling by integrating
               the forestry and paper making industry, which will have an impact on the operating results of the Company.

               Elimination of outdated production capacity and stricter environmental protection policy has facilitated a higher
               concentration ratio in the industry. The concentration benefits of the leading enterprises in the industry gradually
               emerge. The Company is expected to benefit for years in the long run.

                                                                                                                                              REPORT
               Environmental protection risk. The paper making industry is a pollution industry. With the rising awareness of
               environmental 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
               paper making industry has entered into an important transitional period of development. The higher emission standard is
               bound to increase the Company’s environmental protection cost and may result in the slowing down of scale expansion,
               thus affecting its production and operation.

               The Company always strive to achieve harmonious development with energy consumption and emission reduction. The
               Company will endeavour to develop the recycle economy. The Company will strive to maximise its resource utilisation.
               Meanwhile, the Company will make greater efforts to construct environmental friendly projects and strive to achieve its
               waste emission target.

               Interest rate risk. In recent years, greater fluctuations of the Renminbi benchmark lending rate level have an impact on
               the Company’s finance costs. 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 finance expenses,
               thus affecting its operating results.

               The Company will continue to monitor the rate level of the Group. It will leverage the overseas financing platform by
               increasing its overseas financing at lower costs. The Company will enhance the centralised management of the Group’s
               fund and improve the efficiency of capital use through the finance company and financial leasing company. The Group
               will proactively obtain direct financing from the interbank market and capital market to reduce its finance costs.

              VII. Outlook on the future development of the Company (Cont’d)
                  5.   Risk factors likely to be faced and the measures to be taken (Cont’d)
                       Exchange rate risk. The value of Renminbi is affected by the domestic and international economic and political
                       environment, and the supply and demand for Renminbi. 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 dollar. The operations of raw material imports, product
                       exports and US$ borrowings of the Company will face the risk of exchange rate changes.

                       The Company will set up a professional team responsible for monitoring the Group’s foreign currency transactions
                       and scale of assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currency, aiming to minimise the exchange rate risk by multi-
                       currency financing, and forwards which lock in the exchange rate.

              I.   Overview of corporate governance
                   1.      Corporate Governance
                           The Company operated in compliance with the requirement of Companies Law, Securities Law, Code of Corporate
                           Governance for Listed Companies, Rules Governing Listing of Stocks on Shenzhen Stock Exchange, Rules Governing
                           the Listing of Securities on the Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (the “Hong Kong Listing Rules”) and the related
                           requirements as required by China Securities Regulatory Commission. The Company further improved and optimised
                           its legal person governance structure in practice during the reporting period. The Board considered the state of the
                           Company’s corporate governance was substantially in compliance with the requirements and requests of the regulatory
                           documents such as Code of Corporate Governance for Listed Companies.

                           The Company strictly implemented its related system of internal control to facilitate its regulated operation and healthy
                           development, thereby protecting the legal interests of investors. The corporate governance of the Company was exactly
                           the same as what was required by the CSRC. The regulated operations and the internal control standards would
                           enhance with the development of the Company.

                   2.      Corporate Governance Code
                           The Company is committed to attaining good standard of corporate governance practices in order to enhance
                           shareholders’ value. Saved as disclosed below, none of the Directors is aware of any information that would reasonably
                           indicate that the Company is not, or was not for any part of the reporting period, in compliance with the Corporate
                           Governance Code and Corporate Governance Report, as set out in Appendix 14 of the Hong Kong Listing Rules.
                        
                           (1)   The chairman and general manager of the Company is Mr. Chen Hongguo. Mr. Chen Hongguo performs the roles

   14
                                 of the chairman and the general manager for the overall management of the Company. This constitutes a deviation
                                 from the principles and code provisions of A2 - Directors and Chief Executive Office in Corporate Governance
   INTERIM                       Code and Corporate Governance Report under Appendix 14 to Hong Kong Listing Rules. However, the Directors
    REPORT
                                 of the Company believe that Mr. Chen Hongguo acting as the chairman and the general manager will enable the
                                 Company to more effectively plan and implement the business strategies so that the Group can effectively and
                                 rapidly seize business opportunities. As all major decisions will be made after consultation with other members of
                                 the Board, the Company believes that the supervision of the Board and independent non-executive Directors will
                                 strike a sufficient balance of power and authority.

                           (2)   Pursuant to Rule 3.21 of the Hong Kong Listing Rules, every listed issuer must establish an audit committee
                                 comprising its non-executive directors only. As Mr. Cui Youping ceased to be a non-executive director and a
                                 member of the audit committee of the Company after the conclusion of the annual general meeting, the number
                                 of the members of the audit committee was below a minimum of three members under the Rule 3.21 of the Hong
                                 Kong Listing Rules. However, the Board was unable to convene a meeting from the conclusion of the annual
                                 general meeting on 9 May 2014 to 30 June 2014 to appoint a member of the audit committee in order to satisfy
                                 the requirement of Rule 3.21 of the Hong Kong Listing Rules. Nonetheless, the Board held a Board meeting on 27
                                 August 2014 to appoint Ms. Yang Guihua a non-executive director as a member of the audit committee to fill the
                                 vacancy.

                           (3)   Communication with shareholders

                           During the reporting period, the Company held the annual general meeting on 9 May 2014.

                           Mr. Chen Hongguo, the chairman of the Board and the strategic committee, Ms. Zhang Hong, chairman of the audit
                           committee, Mr. Wang Aiguo, the chairman of the remuneration and assessment committee and Mr. Zhang Zhiyuan, the
                           chairman of the nomination committee, were absent from the annual general meeting due to business commitments.
                           The Company’s external auditor attended the annual general meeting as a scrutineer.

          (Cont’d)

          1.    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                  14
                      all of the combining enterprises are not ultimately controlled by the same party or parties before and after the          INTERIM
                                                                                                                                                 REPORT
                      combination. For a business combination not involving enterprises under common control, the party that, on the
                      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.

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

                              For a business combination not under common control completed in phases through several transactions,
                              the several transactions will be judged whether they constitute “basket transactions” in accordance with
                              the judgement criteria on “basket transactions” as set out in the Notice of the Ministry of Finance on Issuing
                              Interpretation No. 5 of the Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises (Cai Kuai [2012] No. 19) (see Note IV.
                              6 (2)). If they constitute “basket transactions”, they are accounted for with reference to the descriptions as set
                              out in the previous paragraphs of this section and Note IV. 13 “Long-term equity investments”, and if they do
                              not constitute “basket transactions”, they are accounted for in separate financial statements and consolidated
                              financial reports:

                              In separate financial statements, the initial equity investment cost is the aggregate of the carrying amount of the
                              equity investment in the acquiree held prior to the acquisition date and the investment cost newly added as at the
                              acquisition date. Any other comprehensive income attributable to the equity interest in the acquiree prior to the
                              acquisition date is transferred to investment income at disposal of the investment.

                              In consolidated financial statements, the equity interest in the acquiree held prior to the acquisition date is re-
                              measured at fair value as at the acquisition date, and the difference between the fair value and the carrying
                              amount is recognised as investment income for the current period. Any other comprehensive income attributable
   14                         to the equity interest in the acquiree held prior to the acquisition date is transferred to investment income in the
   INTERIM                    period of the acquisition date.
    REPORT

                  6.    Specific accounting policies regarding disposal of equity interests in phases until the loss of control
                        (1)   Judgement principles for “basket transactions”

                              Usually, several transactions related to the disposal of equity investment in a subsidiary are accounted for as
                              basket transactions when the terms, conditions and economic effects of these several transactions meet the
                              following one or more conditions: ① these transactions are entered into at the same time or after considering their
                              effects on each other; ② these transactions as a whole can reach a complete business result; ③the occurrence
                              of a transaction depends on at least the occurrence of another transaction; and ④ a transaction is not economical
                              when separately accounted for but is economical when considered with other transactions.

                        (2)   Accounting methods of “basket transactions”

                              When several transactions related to the disposal of equity investment in a subsidiary until the loss of control
                              over the subsidiary constitute basket transactions, all of them are accounted for as a transaction on disposal of a
                              subsidiary with loss of control. However, each different between the consideration of disposal and the net assets
                              of a subsidiary attributable to the investment being disposed of prior to the loss of control shall be recognised as
                              other comprehensive income in the consolidated financial statements and transferred to profit or loss at the time
                              when the control is lost.

                        (3)   Accounting methods of “non-basket transactions”

                              If they do not constitute basket transactions, each of them is separately accounted for in accordance with
                              applicable principles of “disposal of a portion of the long-term equity investment in a subsidiary without loss of
                              control” (see Note IV. 13 (2)) and “the loss of control over a subsidiary due to disposal of a portion of the equity
                              investment or other reasons” (see the preceding paragraph for details).

          7.    Preparation of consolidated financial statements
                (1)   Basis for 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” refers to the fact that the Company has power over the investee and is entitled to variable returns
                      from its involvement with the investee and the ability to use its power over the investee to affect the amount of
                      those returns. The scope of consolidation includes the Company and all of its subsidiaries. A subsidiary is an
                      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

                                                                                                                                               14
                      acquired through business combination under common control, the operating results and 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 opening balance and 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.

                      For the loss of control over a subsidiary due to disposal of a portion of the equity investment or other reasons,
                      the remaining equity is measured at fair value on the date when the control is lost. The difference arising from the
                      sum of consideration received for disposal of equity interest and the fair value of remaining equity interest over
                      the share of net assets of the former subsidiary calculated continuously since the purchase date based on the
                      shareholding percentage before disposal are recognised as investment income in the period when the control
                      is lost. Other comprehensive income related to equity investment in the subsidiary is transferred to investment
                      income at the time when the control is lost. The remaining equity interests are measured subsequently according
                      to “Accounting Standard for Business Enterprises No. 2 – Long-term Equity Investments” or “Accounting Standard
                      for Business Enterprises No. 22 – Recognition and measurement of Financial Instruments”. See Note IV. 13 “Long-
                      term equity investments” or Note IV. 10 “Financial instruments” for details.

                              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, i.e. the middle price of RMB exchange rate
                              published by the People’s Bank of China on that date in general and the same hereinafter, 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 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

                              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 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

                      On the balance sheet date, foreign currency monetary items shall be translated at the spot exchange rate on the
                      balance sheet date. All differences are included in the consolidated income statement, except for: the differences
                      arising from foreign currency borrowings related to the acquisition or construction of fixed assets which are
                      qualified for capitalisation; and except for other carrying amounts of the amortisation costs, the differences arising
                      from changes of the foreign currency items available for sale.

                      The foreign currency non-monetary items measured at historical cost shall still be measured by the functional
                      currency translated at the spot exchange rate on the date of the transaction. Foreign currency non-monetary
                      items measured at fair value are translated at the spot exchange rate on the date of determination of the fair
                      value. The difference between the amounts of 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.

          10.   Financial instruments
                (1)   Classification of financial instruments

                      Conventionally traded financial assets shall be recognised and derecognised at the trading date. Financial assets

                                                                                                                                                   14
                      shall be classified into the following four categories for initial recognition: the financial assets at fair value through
                      profit or loss, hold-to-maturity financial assets, loans and the account receivables, and financial assets available
                      for sale.                                                                                                                    INTERIM
                                                                                                                                                    REPORT

                      Financial liabilities are classified at initial recognition: at fair value and changes are carried through profit and loss
                      as financial liabilities and other financial liabilities.

                (2)   Basis of recognition and measurement of financial instruments

                      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.

                      ①Financial 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 financial assets is part of a portfolio of identified financial instruments that are managed together and for
                            which there is objective evidence of a recent pattern of short-term profit-taking; or C. the financial assets is
                            a derivative, 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.

                                 ①   Financial assets carried at fair value through profit or loss for the current period (Cont’d)

                                      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.
   14                                 Held-to-maturity investments are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest
   INTERIM                            method. Gain or loss on derecognition, impairment or amortisation is recognised through profit or loss for
    REPORT
                                      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.

                                 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 and other receivables 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.

                           Except for long-term equity investments unable to exercise common control or significant influence over the
                           investees, and not quoted in an active market so that their fair value cannot be reliably measured, which are
                           accounted for under the cost method, 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.

                           Interests received from available-for-sale financial assets held and the cash dividends declared by the
                           investee are recognised as investment income.

                           Financial liabilities are initially recognised at fair value.
                                                                                                                                                  14
                           For financial liabilities measured at fair value and whose changes are carried through profit or loss, relevant        INTERIM
                           transaction costs are directly recognised in profit or loss for the period. For financial liabilities classified as     REPORT

                           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 and loan commitments

                                 Financial guarantee contracts other than those designated as financial liabilities at fair value through
                                 profit or loss, or loan commitments other than those designated as financial liabilities at fair value
                                 through profit or loss with interest rate lower than market level, are 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 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

   14                         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
   INTERIM                    period: the sum of the consideration received and the carrying amount of the part that qualifies for derecognition
    REPORT
                              and the aforementioned carrying amount.

                        (4)   Conditions of 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)   Determination of fair values for financial assets and financial liabilities

                              The fair value refers to the price that will be received when selling an asset or the price to be paid to transfer a
                              liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the date of measurement. 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.

                (6)   Impairment test method and impairment provision for financial assets (excluding accounts receivable)

                      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 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.

                      ①Impairment 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       14
                            shall be reversed to the extent that the carrying value of the financial assets upon reversal will not exceed       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 of more than 20%. “Non-temporary decline” refers to continuous decline
                            in fair value for more than 12 months. The period of continuous decline is determined on the basis of the
                            accumulative decline in fair value of more than 10%.

                            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 ac cumulated 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.

                                 If the Group owns the legitimate rights of offsetting the recognised financial assets and financial liabilities, which
                                 are enforceable currently, and the Group plans to realise the financial assets or to clear off the financial liabilities
                                 by net amount method, the amount of the offsetting financial assets and financial liabilities shall be reported in the
                                 balance sheep. Otherwise, financial assets and financial liabilities are presented separately in the balance sheet
                                 without offsetting.

                           (8)   Equity instruments

                                 Equity instruments are any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of an entity after deducting all
                                 of its liabilities. For equity instruments, the price received during the issue shall be added to shareholder’s equity
                                 after reducing the transaction fees.

                                 Various distributions (excluding dividends) made by the Group to holders of equity instruments reduces owners’
                                 equity. The Group does not recognise the movement in fair value of equity instruments.

   14                      The Group carries out an overall inspection on the carrying amount of accounts receivable on the balance sheet date.
   INTERIM                 Where there arises any of the following objective evidences indicating that accounts receivable have been impaired, an
    REPORT                 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 individually significant accounts receivable

                                 Basis of determination or criterion of            Accounts receivable of more than RMB1.00 million is recognised

                                 individually for individually significant items   assesses such accounts receivable individually for impairment. If

                              Inventories mainly include raw materials, work in progress, goods in stock and development products etc.

                        (2)   Pricing of inventories dispatched

                              Pricing method: weighted average method

                              Inventories are measured at their actual cost when obtained. Cost of an inventory consists of purchase costs,
                              processing costs and other costs. When used and dispatched, inventories will be calculated with weighted
                              average method.

                              The inventories of land development companies under the Company are initially measured at cost. The inventories
                              primarily consist of land development products. The costs of developing products include preconstruction costs,
                              expenditures for essential ancillary facilities, expenses on construction and installation, borrowing costs incurred
                              before the completion of the subject project and other related expenses during the course of the development.
                              Once the inventories are delivered, the actual costs will be determined using specific measurement methods.

                (3)   Recognition of net realisable value of inventory and provision for inventory impairment

                      Net realisable value refers to the amount of the estimated price of inventories less the estimated cost incurred
                      upon completion, estimated sales expenses and other amounts after tax and levies in daily operation. 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
                      impairment shall be transferred back and incorporated into the profit or loss for the current period.

                (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.

                               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 or financial assets measured at fair value with any change in fair value charged to profit or
                               loss.

                               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.

   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 recognise its share of the investee’s net profits or losses based on the fair values of the
        investee’s individual separately identifiable assets at the time of acquisition, after making appropriate adjustments thereto 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 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.

        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

                      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.

                      ④   Disposal of long-term equity investments

                            In these consolidated financial statements, for disposal of a portion of the long-term equity investments in
                            a subsidiary without loss of 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. If disposal of a
                            portion of the long-term equity investments in a subsidiary by the parent company results in a change in
                            control, it shall be accounted for in accordance with the relevant accounting policies as described in Note
                            IV. 7. (2) “Preparation Method of the Consolidated Financial Statements”.

                            On disposal of a long-term equity investment otherwise, the difference between the carrying amount of              14
                            the investment and the actual consideration paid is recognised through profit or loss in the current period.       INTERIM
                            Where the equity method is adopted, other comprehensive income attributable to the long term equity                 REPORT
                            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

                      The term “control” refers to the fact that the Company has power over the investee and is entitled to variable
                      returns from its involvement with the investee and the ability to use its power over the investee to affect the
                      amount of those returns. 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.

                  14.   Joint arrangements
                        A joint arrangement refers to an arrangement of two or more parties have joint control. In accordance with the
                        Company’s rights and obligation ns under a joint arrangement, the Company classifies joint arrangements into: joint
                        ventures and joint operations. Joint operations refer to a joint arrangement during which the Company is entitled
                        to relevant assets and obligations of this arrangement. Joint ventures refer to a joint arrangement during which the
                        Company only is entitled to net assets of this arrangement.

                        The Company treats investments in joint ventures by using the equity method of accounting in accordance with
                        accounting policies as set out in Note IV.13.(2) ② “long-term equity investment by using equity method of accounting”.

                        The Company shall, as a joint venture, recognise the assets held and obligations assumed solely by the Company, and
                        recognise assets held and obligations assumed jointly by the Company in appropriation to the share of the Company;
                        recognise revenue from disposal of the share of joint operations of the Company; recognise fees solely occurred by
                        Company and recognise fees from joint operations in appropriation to the share of the Company.

                        When the Company, as a joint venture, invests or sells assets to or purchase assets (the assets dose not constitute
                        a business, the same below) from joint operations, the Company shall only recognise the part of profit or lost from
                        this transaction attributable to other parties of joint operations before these assets are sold to the third party. If
                        the occurrence of these assets meet the impairment loss of asset as set our in “Accounting Standard for Business
                        Enterprises No. 8 – Asset Impairment”, the Company shall recognise the full amount of this loss in relation to the
                        Company invests in or sells assets to joint operations; the Company recognise the loss according to the Company’s
   14                   share of commitment in relation to the Company purchase assets from joint operations.

    REPORT        15.   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.
                        22 “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.

                        In the event that an investment property is converted to an owner-occupied property, such property shall become fixed
                        assets or intangible assets since the date of its conversion. In the event that an owner-occupied property is converted
                        to real estate held to earn rentals or for capital appreciation, such fixed assets or intangible assets shall become an
                        investment property since the date of its conversion. Investment property is measured at cost during its conversion.
                        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.

          16.   Fixed assets
                (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)   Method for depreciation of different fixed assets

                      A fixed asset shall be initially measured at cost and the effect of any expected costs of abandoning the asset at
                      the end of its use. Depreciation is provided over its estimated useful life from the next month after it has been
                      brought to its working condition for its intended use using the straight-line method. Estimated net residual value
                      of a fixed asset is the estimated amount that the Group would currently obtain from disposal of the asset, after
                      deducting the estimated costs of disposal, if the asset were already of the stage and in the condition expected at
                      the end of its useful life.

                      The useful life, estimated residual value and annual depreciation rate of each category of a fixed asset are as
                      follows:

                                                                            Useful lives of             Estimated                 Annual

                (3)   Impairment testing methods and provision for impairment methods on fixed assets

                      The method for impaired test of fixed asset and measurement of impairment provision are detailed in Note IV. 22
                      “Impairment of non-current non-monetary financial asset”.

                (4)   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 Chenming Paper 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.

                           (1)   Types of construction in progress

                                 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.

                           (2)   Criteria and time for the reclassification of construction in process to fixed assets

                                 A construction in progress is reclassified to fixed assets when it has reached the working condition for its intended
                                 use.

                           (3)   Impairment test method and impairment provision for construction in progress

                                 The method for impaired test of construction in progress and measurement of impairment provision are detailed in
                                 Note IV. 22 “Impairment of non-current non-monetary financial asset”.

                  18.      Borrowing costs
                        
                           Borrowing costs include interest, amortisation of discounts or premiums related to borrowings, ancillary costs incurred in
                           connection with the arrangement of borrowings, and exchange differences arising from foreign currency borrowings. For

   14
                           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
   INTERIM                 or production of the asset that are necessary to prepare the asset for its intended use or sale have commenced, such
    REPORT
                           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. Other borrowing costs shall be recognised as expense in the period
                           in which they are incurred.

                           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 borrowings.

                           During the capitalisation period, exchange differences on a specific purpose borrowing denominated in foreign currency
                           shall be capitalised. Exchange differences related to general-purpose borrowings denominated in foreign currency shall
                           be included in profit or loss for the current period.

                           Qualifying assets are assets (fixed assets, investment property, inventories, etc.) that necessarily take a substantial
                           period of time for acquisition, construction or production to get ready for their intended use or sale.

                           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.

          19.   Consumable 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,
                subsequently measured at fair value. Changes in fair values shall be recognised as profit or loss in the current period.
                The cost of self-planting, self-cultivating consumable biological assets is the necessary expenses directly attributable
                to such assets prior to complete planting, 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.

          20.   Intangible assets
                (1)   Intangible assets

                An intangible asset is an identifiable non-monetary asset without physical substance owned or controlled by the Group.

                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),             14
                related land use right and the buildings shall be separately accounted for as an intangible asset and fixed asset. For             INTERIM
                buildings and structures purchased, the purchase consideration shall be allocated among the land use right and the                  REPORT

                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,
                Chenming Paper shall estimate the useful life of that asset and apply the accounting policies accordingly.

                             Research and development expenditure of the Group was divided into expenses incurred during the research
                             phase and expenses incurred during the development phase.

                             Expenses incurred during the research phase are recognised as profit or loss in the current period.

                             Expenses incurred during the development phase that satisfy 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 capability to use or sell the intangible asset;

   14                        ⑤    the expenses attributable to the development phase of the intangible asset can be measured reliably.

                             separately, all development expenses incurred are accounted for in the profit or loss for the current period.

                       (3)   Method for impairment test of intangible asset and measurement of impairment provision

                             The method for impaired test of intangible asset and measurement of impairment provision are detailed in Note IV.
                             22 “Impairment of non-current non-financial assets”.

                 21.   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.




                                                                                        SHANDONG CHENMING PAPER HOLDINGS LIMITED                        85

          (Cont’d)

          22.   Impairment of non-current non-financial assets
                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. Goodwill, intangible assets with an indefinite useful life and intangible assets beyond working conditions will be
                tested for impairment annually, regardless of whether there is any indication of impairment.

                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.
                                                                                                                                               14

                                                                                                                                                REPORT
                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.

          23.   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.

                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 amount
                recognised shall not be more than the carrying amount of accrued liabilities.

                        Share repurchase consideration paid and transaction costs to reduce the owner’s equity, repurchase, transfer or
                        cancellation of Chenming Paper’s shares, the gains or losses are not recognised.

                        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.

                  25.   Revenue
                        (1)   Revenue from sales of goods

                              Revenue is recognised when Chenming Paper 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. Confirmation time for sales
                              revenue: In terms of domestic sales, confirmation will be made on the day when goods are delivered to the clients.
                              While in terms of overseas sales, confirmation will be made on the day when goods are loaded on board and
                              declared.

   14                         When the outcome of a transaction involving the rendering of services can be reliably estimated, it shall, on the

    REPORT
                              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
                              recognise the revenue from the rendering of services based on the cost of rendering services already incurred and
                              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.

                      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
                      recognise the revenue from the rendering of services based on the cost of rendering services already incurred and
                      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

                        (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.
                              Government grants obtained for acquisition or construction of long-term assets or other forms of long-term asset
                              formation are classified as related to assets. Other government grants are classified as related to revenue. If
                              related government documents do not specify the objective of the grants, the grants are classified as related to
                              assets or income as follows: ① In case a project for which the grants are granted is specified in such documents,
                              the grants are classified as related to assets and income based on the budgeted ratio of the expenditure on asset
                              formation and the expenditure recorded as expenses, where such ratio should be reviewed and, if necessary,
                              changed on each balance sheet date; and ② in case of general description without specifying any project in such
                              documents, the grants are classified as related to income.

                        (2)   Accounting policy

                              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

   14
                              and recognised immediately in profit or loss for the current period. Government grants are generally recognised
                              when received and measured at the amount actually received, but are measured at the amount likely to be
   INTERIM                    received when there is conclusive evidence at the end of the accounting period that the Company will meet
    REPORT
                              related requirements of such grants and will be able to receive the grants. The government grants so measured
                              should also satisfy the following conditions: ① the amount of the grants be confirmed with competent authorities

                              officially released without material uncertainties; ② the grants be given based on financial support projects and
                              fund management policies officially published and voluntarily disclosed by local financial authorities in accordance
                              with the requirements under disclosure of government information, where such policies should be open to any
                              company satisfying conditions required and not specifically for certain companies; and ③ the date of payment
                              be specified in related documents and the payment thereof be covered by corresponding budget to ensure such
                              grants will be paid on time as specified.

                              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
                              in profit or loss for the current period; if there is no related deferred income, the repayment shall be recognised
                              immediately in profit or loss for the current period.

          27.   Deferred income tax assets/deferred income tax liabilities
                (1)   Current income tax

                      At the balance sheet date, current income tax liabilities (or assets) for the current and prior periods shall be
                      measured at the amount expected to be paid (or recovered) according to the requirements of tax laws. Taxable
                      profits, which are the basis for calculating the current income tax expense, are determined after adjusting the
                      accounting profits before tax for the year in accordance with relevant requirements of tax laws.

                (2)   Deferred income tax assets and deferred income tax liabilities

                      Temporary differences arising from the difference between the carrying amount of an asset or liability and its tax
                      base, and the difference between the tax base and the carrying amount of those items that are not recognised
                      as assets or liabilities but have a tax base that can be determined according to tax laws, shall be recognised as
                      deferred income tax assets and deferred income tax liabilities using the balance sheet liability method.

                      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.                                           14

                      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 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.

                      Chenming Paper 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.

                      At the balance sheet date, deferred income tax assets and deferred income tax liabilities are measured at the tax
                      rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, according to the
                      requirements of tax laws.

                      At the balance sheet date, Chenming Paper shall review the carrying amount of a deferred income tax asset. If it
                      is probable that sufficient taxable profits will not be available in future periods to allow the benefit of the deferred
                      income tax asset to be utilised, the carrying amount of the deferred income tax asset shall be reduced. Any such
                      reduction in amount shall be reversed when it becomes probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available.

                       (3)   Income tax expense

                             Income tax expense comprises current income tax expense and deferred income tax expense.

                             Current income tax expense (current income tax income) and deferred income tax expense (deferred income tax
                             income) are included in profit or loss for the current period, except for: recognised as other comprehensive income
                             or current income tax and deferred income tax related to transactions or events that are directly recognised in

                             income tax arising from a business combination, which is adjusted against the carrying amount of goodwill.

                       (4)   Offset of income tax

                 28.   Other comprehensive income
                       Any profit or loss not recognised in profit or loss for the current period in accordance with other accounting policies is
                       stated as other comprehensive income. Under related accounting policies, other comprehensive income is classified
                       into:

                       (1)   Those not to be reclassified into profit or loss in subsequent periods, which mainly includes changes arising from
                             re-measuring net assets or net liabilities of defined benefit plan, share of investee’s other comprehensive income
                             not to be reclassified into profit or loss in subsequent periods using the equity method;

                       (2)   Those to be reclassified into profit or loss after meeting certain criteria in subsequent periods, which mainly
                             includes share of investee’s other comprehensive income to be reclassified into profit or loss after meeting certain
                             criteria in subsequent periods, profit or loss arising from change of fair value of available-for-sale financial assets,
                             profit or loss arising from reclassifying held-to-maturity investment into available-for-sale financial assets, the
                             effectively hedged portion in profit or loss generated from cash flow hedging instruments, translation difference of

          (Cont’d)

          29.   Lease
                Leases are classified as finance leases whenever the terms of the lease transfer substantially all the risks and rewards
                of asset ownership to the lessee and titles to the assets may or may not eventually be transferred. All other leases are
                classified as operating leases.

                (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.

          30.   Employee benefits
                In the accounting period in which an employee has rendered service to the Group, the Group recognises the employee
                benefits payable as a liability.
                                                                                                                                                14
                                                                                                                                                INTERIM
                                                                                                                                                 REPORT
                Expenditures paid by the Group for the social security system set up by the government, such as basic pension
                insurance, medical insurance, housing funds and others, are recognised in the costs of related assets or the current
                profit or loss.

                When the Group terminates the employment relationship with employees before the end of the employment contracts
                or provides compensation as an offer to encourage employees to accept voluntary redundancy, the Company shall
                recognise employee compensation liabilities arising from compensation for staff dismissal and account for profit or loss
                at the current period, when the Company cannot revoke unilaterally compensation for dismissal due to the cancellation
                of labour relationship plans and employee redundant proposals; the Company recognise cost and expenses related to
                payment of compensation for dismissal and restructuring, whichever is earlier.

                The early retirement plan shall be accounted for in accordance with the accounting principles for compensation for
                termination of employment. The salaries or wages and the social contributions to be paid for the employees who retire
                before schedule from the date on which the employees stop rendering services to the Group to the scheduled retirement
                date, shall be recognised (as compensation for termination of employment) in the current profit or loss if the recognition
                principles for provisions are satisfied.

      IV. Significant accounting policies, accounting estimates and differences in the previous period
          (Cont’d)

          32.   Critical accounting judgments and estimates
                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
                and assumptions are made based on the historical experiences of the Group’s management and taking into account
                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.                           14
                                                                                                                                                INTERIM
                (2)   Allowance for inventories                                                                                                  REPORT

                      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.

                (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.

                  (Cont’d)

                  32. Critical accounting judgments and estimates (Cont’d)
                        (4)   Provision for impairment of non-financial non-current assets (Cont’d)

                              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
                              attributable to such assets disposal.

                              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


   14                         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
   INTERIM                    Group shall regularly review the useful lives to determine the amount depreciated and amortised to be accounted
    REPORT
                              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.

                The Company lost its control over Shandong Chenming Xinli Power Co., Ltd. due to disposal of equity interest during
                the period. Therefore, the above company ceased to be included in the scope of consolidation. The registration of
                Shouguang Chenming Tianyuan Arboriculture Co., Ltd. and Shouguang Hengfeng Storage Co., Ltd. were cancelled
                according to actual needs of operations during the period. Therefore, the above two companies ceased to be included
                in the scope of consolidation.

                On 15 November 2013, the Company convened the third extraordinary meeting of the seventh session of the Board and
                approved the Resolution on Disposal of Equity Interest in Xinli Power”. On 4 March 2014, the Company entered into
                an equity interest contract with Guangdong Dejun Investment Co., Ltd. to transfer its 51% equity interest in Shandong
                Chenming Xinli Power Co., Ltd. at a consideration of RMB76.1940 million. The Company lost its control over Xinli Power,

                in any business activity for years. The Company cancelled their registration to save the related expenses. The related
                assets and liabilities were consolidated into the financial statements of the Company. The above two companies ceased
                to be included in the scope of consolidation with effect from May 2014.

                       The goodwill of the Company arose from the business combined not under common control during the prior year.

                       On the balance sheet date, the management of the Company assessed the recoverable amount of cash-generating
                       unit which results goodwill, in order to determine whether to make provision for impairment loss accordingly. The
                       recoverable amount of cash-generating unit was determined based on the estimated cash flow in the financial budget
                       for the next five years by the management, using the steady annual growth rate of the industry of 5% (2013: 5%) as
                       expected by the market, and the time value of currency was estimated using the discount rate of 8.32% (2013: 8.32%).
                       The management of the Company expected that no provision for impairment loss was necessary to be made for
                       goodwill during the reporting period.

                 54.   Calculation of basic earnings per share and diluted earnings per share
                       The basic earnings per share is computed by dividing the net profit for the period attributable to ordinary shareholders
                       of the Company by the number of weighted average ordinary shares in issue. The number of newly issued ordinary
                       shares is confirmed starting from the day of consideration receivables (generally the offering date of stock) according to
                       the specific terms in the offering agreement.

                       The numerator of the diluted earnings per share is the net profit for the period attributable to ordinary shareholders of
                       the Company, which is confirmed after adjusting the following factors: (1) interests of diluted potential ordinary shares
                       recognised as expenses for the period; (2) gains or expenses arising from the transfer of diluted potential ordinary
                       shares; and (3) effect of income tax due to the above adjustment.

                       The denominator of diluted earnings per share is the sum of the followings: (1) weighted average number of ordinary
                       shares in issue of the parent company in the basic earnings per share; and (2) average weighted number of the
                       increased ordinary shares during the transfer of the estimated diluted potential ordinary shares to ordinary shares.

                       For the purpose of calculating the average weighted number of the increased ordinary shares during the transfer of the
                       estimated diluted potential ordinary shares to ordinary shares in issue, diluted potential ordinary shares issued during
                       the prior period were assumed to be transferred as at the beginning of the current period while diluted potential ordinary
                       shares issued in the current period were assumed to be transferred on offering date.
