IV Directors’ Report
I. Overview
During the reporting period, the situation of oversupply in the paper making industry continued on the whole, but the
difference between supply and demand narrowed. Efforts to reduce excess capacity and inventories in the industry paid
off. The downward trend in raw material costs had a greater positive effect on the industry in terms of profit with a turning
point in earnings indicating a clear bottoming out. In the medium to long run, by virtue the supply-side reform, environmental
protection standards will be higher, small and medium-sized production capacity will accelerate to phase out, industry
concentration will be further enhanced, and the performance of the paper making industry is expected to continue to improve.
During the reporting period, the Company adhered to the main goal of “developing into an enterprise with hundreds of billions
in value” by adhering to the principle of “achieving growth amid stability”. The Company will stick to its diversification strategy
and develop an industrial system that centres on pulp production, paper making and finance to achieve synergy with forestry,
real estate and mining so as to boost the core competiveness and profitability. Meanwhile, the Company will be committed
to “team building, management enhancement, outstanding business performance and good results” in order to upgrade
management quality.
During the reporting period, the Company completed the production of machine-made paper of 2.13 million tonnes with
sales of 2.09 million tonnes and achieved revenue of RMB10.606 billion, representing a year-on-year increase of 9.13%. The
Company recorded operating costs of RMB7,264 million, representing a year-on-year decrease of 1.44%. Total profit and net
profit attributable to equity holders of the Company were RMB1,233 million and RMB939 million respectively, representing
year on year increases of 188.69% and 239.80% respectively. As at 30 June 2016, the financial segment experienced rapid
development across businesses with ever improving management systems and effective risk preventions. Financial leasing
contracts of Chenming Leasing amounted to RMB29,454,821,300, which increased by 21.97% from the end of 2015.
During the reporting period, the Company cooperated with a first-class domestic management consulting company, and
16 leveraged the strength of an external think tank to find out problems in its business management. As a result, practicable
INTERIM plans for improvement were developed, business management was strengthened and overall management was improved.
REPOR
T
Through the measures such as adjusting product structure, boosting overseas sales, raising selling prices and making
investment in places with close proximity, the efficiency of the Company was higher. Through the measures such as
supporting strategic customers, boosting barter transaction volume, securing contracts, and strengthening control of cash
in transit, the appropriation of funds was reduced. The Company continued to accelerate the process in relation to collateral
security to strengthen risk management and control.
The Company fully boosted production efficiency through enhanced refining management. It aimed at a higher market share of
high value-added products to optimise the product structure by developing products with competiveness, such as wine label,
logistics label and liquid packaging paper. The Company also adjusted the structure of pulp materials, upgraded production
process, and utilised new raw materials to promote technological progress.
During the reporting period, due to enhanced project management, Zhanjiang Chenming’s 600,000-tonne liquid packaging
paper project entered the equipment installation and calibration stage with trial operation going to take place at the end
of August. This 600,000-tonne liquid packaging paper project has the widest width, fastest speed and largest production
capacity for a single machine in the world. With various technical indicators reaching world-class standard, it will quickly
become a new profit growth point of the Company. At the same time, the Company actively pushed on projects such as
Haiming’s mining project, Huanggang Chenming’s integrated forestry, pulp and paper project, and Shouguang Meilun’s
400,000-tonne chemical pulp project.
During the reporting period, the Company strengthened its financing management. The Financial Leasing Company focused
on risk control. It actively explored for quality customers and sought to increase the direct credit lines of domestic banks.
The Company enhanced the management of the Finance Company with focus on its fundamental business in relation to
settlement, deposit and loans as well as bills, so as to boost the recovery rate of funds. The Company actively solicited
interbank credit extension and diversified its interbank product offerings in order to increase efficiency. At the same time,
the Company provided liquidity support to corporate operation and lowered the operating and financing costs, thus creating
financial value.

V. Analysis of Core Competitiveness
The Company is a leading player in the paper making industry of China. After entrepreneurship and innovation for more
than half a century, it has developed into a large and integrated modern conglomerate principally engaged in paper making,
finance, forestry and real estate businesses while also involved in mining, energy, logistics, construction materials, hotel
operation and others. It is also the only listed company with three types of listed shares (i.e. A shares, B shares and H shares)
and the first in the paper making industry having a finance company and a financial leasing company integrated with its
industrial activities in China. Compared with other enterprises in the industry, the Company has the following advantages:
1. Scale advantages
After years of development, the Company has achieved annual pulp and paper production capacity of 8.50 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 policymaking.

V. Analysis of Core Competitiveness (Cont’d)
2. Product advantages
While the production scale of the Company is expanding rapidly, its product mix also continues to optimise. In recent
years, the Company has built production lines for cultural paper such as high-end coated paper, high-end light weight
coated paper and high-end white paper board, and achieved higher technological content of products and added
values as well as a higher gross profit margin. The product mix of the Company gradually diversified into five major
paper types, namely printing paper, packaging paper, office paper, industrial paper and household paper, as well
as the nine major product series which focused on high and middle end products, including high-end coated paper,
white paper board, coated linerboard, news press paper, light weight coated paper, duplex press paper, light weight
paper, electrostatic paper and household paper. Thus, the Company has become the enterprise that offers the widest
product range in China’s paper making industry. Diversification and gentrification of the product mix has not only greatly
enhanced the Company’s ability to withstand market risks, but also enabled the Company to maintain a relatively high
profitability
3. Comprehensive cost advantages
The Company has a relative advantage in comprehensive cost, which is mainly reflected in: firstly, the Company has
optimised the operation of the production lines through stringent management, which has substantially lowered the
waste of resources in evaporating, emitting, dripping or leaking, and the Company’s energy consumption per ton of
paper was also controlled at a relatively low level; secondly, the Company has established several advanced pulp
production lines, thus increasing the supply of major raw materials through the 700,000-tonne pulp project of Zhanjiang
Chenming and forestry pulp integration project of Huanggang Chenming; thirdly, the Company has reduced costs
through the construction of the captive power plant to ensure energy supply.

4. Advantages in technical equipment
REPOR The Company’s overall technical equipment has reached the advanced international level. The main production

equipment have been imported from internationally renowned manufacturers, including Valmet, Ahlstrom and Metso of

IV Directors’ Report
VIII. Outlook on the future development of the Company
(I) Competition overview and development trend of the industry
In recent years, on the one hand, with the impact of macroeconomic slowdown, demand was continuously weak
in the paper making industry. On the other hand, new production capacity of the paper making industry had been
released together over the past few years, resulting in the transitional overcapacity of some paper types. Due to fierce
competition, product prices continued to decline, narrowing profit margins of papermaking enterprises.
In the long run, the development conditions of the paper making industry are gradually improving. Elimination of
obsolete production capacity and increasingly stringent environmental policies are forcing some small and medium-
sized enterprises out of the market. To some extent, this eases the pressure of new capacity on the supply of the
industry, which is conducive for enterprises to initiate a price rise. For major paper making enterprises, fully utilising
advantages of capital, technology and scale to achieve a change in the growth pattern may help them gain new market
share. Meanwhile, with the impact of a weak demand, raw material prices have been hovering at a low level, easing
the pressure of operating costs on paper making enterprises. Eliminating obsolete production capacity will remove
obstacles for the industry’s development, while replenishment of and substitution of advanced production capacity will
bring fresh blood and drive to the industry, conducive to a higher concentration ratio to creating a favourable industry
lifecycle and a bright outlook for the paper making industry.
Furthermore, under the slowing macro-economic growth and economic transformation, the financial leasing industry
as a favoured supplementary corporate financing channel and an effective tool to use assets at hand embraced
continuously mounting market demand and was stepping into a golden age for its development. The financial leasing
industry in China is at the early stage and has a promising outlook. In fact, it is on a solid track of rapid growth. It is
expected that the market size will reach RMB1,200 billion by 2020. The financial leasing industry has bright prospects in
16
INTERIM
China as a result of its growth momentum under the “new normal” of the economy.
REPOR
T (II) Development strategy
Looking forward, the Company will adhere to the principal of achieving growth amid stability, and emphasise on
environmental protection, low carbon, recycling and sustainable development. Following the “Made in China 2025 Plan”
and the principles of scientific development and quality and efficiency enhancement, it will comprehensively improve
its quality and efficiency, management level, technology application, sense of happiness and brand image through the
integration between its production and manufacture segment and financial services segment, incorporation of smart
technology into its industrial activities, reorganised methodology and restructuring so as to expand and improve itself
and strive to become one of the world-class companies with the highest growth rate in the “Thirteenth Five Year Plan”
period.
(III) Operating plan for the second half of 2016
The main goal of the Company for 2016 is to “develop into an enterprise with hundreds of billions in value” by adhering
to the principle of “achieving growth amid stability”. The Company will stick to its diversification strategy and develop
an industrial system that centres on pulp production, paper making and finance to achieve synergy with forestry, real
estate and mining so as to boost the core competiveness and profitability. Meanwhile, the Company will be committed
to “team building, management enhancement, outstanding business performance and good results” in order to upgrade
management quality. The measures to be taken by the Company are as follows:
1. Enhance management to upgrade management quality
The Company will work with leading management consultants in China. It will identify the problems in management
and formulate practical plans to address the issues with the help of external experts in order to enhance the
management level. It will improve fundamental management and recruit competent employees in a timely manner
to the management team to deal with the current problems arising from lack of sufficient management. The
Company will also further optimise the management system and procedures to provide strong support to the
strengthening of management standard.

2. Enhance operation management and take initiatives to expand market
The Company will step up in its efforts in team building and talent recruitment to develop a talent pool and
promotion channels while laying off unqualified employees. It will focus on efficiency in performance evaluation
to stimulate employees’ incentives. It will enhance fundamental management and perform monthly inspection
to groundwork so as to “cover all aspects of the system”. The Company will also optimise the system in a
timely manner and set up standards for procedures, so that the implementation will be strict, effective and
highly efficient. The Company will formulate plans for major and difficult tasks and closely monitor, inspect and
evaluate such tasks to rectify problems. It will enhance efficiency management, adjust product structure, boost
overseas sales, raise price, and make investment in places with close proximity, in the pursuit of higher efficiency.
Meanwhile, it will support strategic customers, boost volume of trade, secure contracts and strengthen control
of cash in transit to reduce appropriation of funds. It will enhance risk control and the marketing team will set its
priority on the collection of receivables. The dedicated receivables collection team will carry out their work and
strictly monitor receivables. The Company will also accelerate the process in relation to collateral security.
3. Enhance and refine production management
The Company will boost production efficiency through refining management. It will cooperate with professional
consultants to optimise management and actively recruit and nurture talents in order to enhance fundamental
management capability. It will aim at a higher market share of high value-added products and optimise the
product structure by developing products with competiveness, such as wine label, logistics label and liquid
packaging paper. The Company will adjust the structure of pulp materials, upgrade production process, and utilise 16
new raw materials to promote technological progress. It will step up inspection efforts to identify safety risks and INTERIM
REPORT
protect the environment in accordance with the new national standards and requirements, thereby ensuring the
fulfilment of targets on time.
4. Enhance project management for high quality and efficiency
The Company will enhance implementation and management of Zhanjiang Chenming’s 600,000 tonne liquid
packaging paper project, Haiming Mining, Huanggang Chenming’s integrated forestry, pulp and paper project
and Shouguang Chenming’s 400,000 tonne chemical pulp project so as to ensure the timely commencement of
operation, which will provide new sources of profit growth. The Company will adopt strict quality control on project
construction by clarifying responsibility and enhancing control so as to ensure construction quality and safety at
the work sites. The Company will fully prepare for the projects and optimise the organisational structure. It will set
up a management team and recruit technicians, while developing training programmes for the staff at all levels, so
as to lay a solid foundation for production and operation and ensure the smooth operation of the projects upon
completion.
5. Enhance financing management to create extra value
The Financial Leasing Company will focus on risk control. It will actively explore for quality customers, seek
to increase the direct credit lines of domestic banks and obtain additional banking facilities. The Company
will enhance the management of the Finance Company with a focus on its fundamental business in relation to
settlement, deposit and loans as well as bills, so as to boost the recovery rate of funds. The Company will actively
solicit interbank credit extension and diversify its interbank product offerings in order to increase efficiency. At
the same time, Qingdao Chenming will commence financial leasing business at bonded areas to provide liquidity
support to the Company’s operation and lower the financing cost.

6. Enhance procurement management to raise resources efficiency
Leveraging the development of “cross-border e-commerce” and “Internet Plus”, the Company will seek to gain
market influence by establishing an online marketing platform for import and export of goods. The Company will
also develop complementary distributor management policy and pricing policy to boost efficiency of external
sales. In addition, it will set up an electronic merchandise exchange centre for pulp and paper products, and
develop an integrated supply chain for the storage and logistics of pulp and paper products in the country, with
the goal of building China’s market price index centre of pulp and paper products, and a global information centre
of paper products.
7. Enhance service operation and business expansion
The Company will enhance the management of the brick plant, cement and construction materials companies.
In terms of internal measure, it will enhance the service quality; and in terms of external measure, it will actively
expand business to boost profit.
(IV) Future capital requirements, source of funds and plan for use
With the extension of the Company’s industry chain and expansion of business scale, the Company has greater demand
for working capital. To this end, the Company has identified the following measures:
Firstly, the Company will raise fund through non-public offering of shares and preference shares. This will help the
16 Company meet our financing needs together with our business development. The issue of preference shares which may
INTERIM
REPOR
be accounted for in equity will also help reduce the Company’s gearing ratio, thus improving the Company’s capital
T
structure and enhancing the Company’s risk aversion capability.
Secondly, the Company will establish diversified financing channels. Various financing methods, such as increasing
direct financing and issuing super and short term commercial paper and perpetual bonds, will be used to reduce the
Company’s finance expenses, improve the Company’s liabilities structure and ensure funding for the Company’s
sustainable and healthy development.
Thirdly, the Company will make progress in cross-border financing. Leveraging the financing platform of the Hong Kong
market, the Company will make effort to increase the credit line of Chenming (HK), avert exchange rate risks through
multi-currency financing and improve the efficiency of capital use so as to reduce finance expenses.
Fourthly, the Company will capitalise on the financial advantages of the Finance Company and the Financial Leasing
Company to expand the Group’s financing channels. They will grow amid stability, provide new impetus for the
Company’s earnings growth and boost profit.
Fifthly, the Company will further improve our international and domestic sales and marketing network, expand our
export sales and increase our investment in products of high profit so as to increase economic benefits. The Company
will take strict control measures to reduce inventories and improve contract compliance rate in order to reduce use of
funds, further reducing the finance expenses.

VIII. Outlook on the future development of the Company (Cont’d)
(V) Risk factors likely to be faced and the measures to be taken
Industry risk
As a basic raw materials industry of the national economy, the paper making industry’s overall efficiency has a strong
correlation with economic cycles, and is therefore a cyclical industry fluctuating with the national macroeconomic
performance, which will further affect the profitability of paper making enterprises. With the rapid growth of the national
economy and economic globalisation, China’s paper making industry has been facing increasingly fierce competition,
and overcapacity and lower demand will have impact on the operating results of the Company to a certain extent in the
future.
In light of the above, the Company will enhance the level of its equipment and technology, enrich its product portfolio,
raise its product quality and put emphasis on developing high-end products to increase its competitiveness.
Policy risk
At present, the industry has entered into an important transitional period, and the mode which has supported the rapid
development of the paper making industry in the past currently face 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, and adjust the industry through entry
requirements, environmental standards and energy saving. The development of the Company will be affected by the
direction of such policies.
Elimination of obsolete production capacity and stricter environmental protection policy have forced some small and 16
INTERIM
medium-sized enterprises to exit the industry. Hence, the Company is expected to record long-term revenue. REPORT
Operational risk
The major raw materials used by the Company are wood pulp and waste paper. The Company’s products are mainly
comprised of high-end paper, and as the State encourages the increase of the proportion of wood pulp used by the
industry, wood pulp, thus, has accounted for a higher proportion of the production cost. The market price fluctuations
of raw material have significantly affected the production cost of the Company. In addition to intensified market
competition resulting from surging capacity in the industry in recent years, the market price fluctuation of raw materials
will have an impact on the performance of the Company.
Hence, the Company will remain steadfast in the “forestry-pulp-paper integration” development path and focus on the
construction of Zhanjiang Chenming pulp project, Huanggang Chenming pulp project and Shouguang chemical pulp
project, thereby eliminating the limitations of upstream resources on the Company’s development and enhancing the
Company’s sustainable development.
Environmental protection risk
The new Environmental Protection Law took effect on 1 January 2015. More stringent environmental protection policies
have been implemented in the paper making industry. 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 costs and high entry
standards may result in the slowdown of scale expansion, thus affecting the production and operation of the Company.
The Company always strive to achieve harmonious development with energy conservation and emission reduction.
The Company will endeavour to develop the recycling economy through waste exchange and recycling and strive to
maximise its resource utilisation. Meanwhile, the Company will make greater efforts to construct environment friendly
projects and strive to achieve its waste emission target.

VIII. Outlook on the future development of the Company (Cont’d)
(V) 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$. The operations of raw material imports, product exports and US$ borrowings of the Company will
face the risk of exchange rate changes.
The Company lowers the proportion of imported goods procurement denominated in foreign currency. The Company
uses more domestic raw materials and spare parts in its production, and increases its Renminbi settlement while
decreasing its foreign exchange settlement. Meanwhile, the Company expands its overseas sales, increases repatriation
on exports and repays its domestic US dollar loans in order to mitigate its exchange rate risk exposure.

INTERIM
REPORT
(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.

(Cont’d)
(2) Business combination not under common control
A business combination not involving enterprises under common control is a business combination in which
all of the combining enterprises are not ultimately controlled by the same party or parties before and after the
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 debt 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
16 assets on the acquisition date, the difference is recognised as goodwill. Where the cost of a business combination
INTERIM is less than the acquirer’s interest in the fair value of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets, the acquirer shall first
REPOR
T 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.
In relation to the deductible temporary difference acquired from the acquiree, which was not recognised as
deferred tax assets due to non-fulfilment of the recognition criteria at the date of the acquisition, if new or
further information that is obtained within 12 months after the acquisition date indicates that related conditions
at the acquisition date already existed, and that the implementation of the economic benefits brought by the
deductible temporary difference of the acquiree can be expected, the relevant deferred tax assets shall be
recognised and goodwill shall be deducted. When the amount of goodwill is less than the deferred tax assets that
shall be recognised, the difference shall be recognised in the profit or loss of the period. Except for the above
circumstances, deferred tax assets in relation to business combination are recognised in the profit or loss of the
period.

(Cont’d)
(2) Business combination not under common control (Cont’d)
For a business combination not under common control is finished by a stage-up approach with several
transactions, these several transactions will be judged whether they belong to “transactions in a basket” in
accordance with the judgement standards on “transactions in a basket” as set out in the Notice of the Ministry of
Finance on Issuing Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises Interpretation No. 5 (Cai Kuai [2012] No. 19)
and “Accounting Standard for Business Enterprises No. 33 – Consolidated Financial Statements” (see Note V. 6
(2)). If they belong to “transactions in a basket”, they are accounted for with reference to the descriptions as set
out in the previous paragraphs of this section and Note V. 13 “Long-term equity investments”, and if they do not
belong to “transactions in a basket”, 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. In respect of any other comprehensive income attributable to the equity interest in the acquiree
prior to the acquisition date, other comprehensive income is accounted for on the same accounting treatment
as direct disposal of relevant asset or liability by the acquiree at the time of disposal (i.e. to be transferred to
investment income for the period, except for the changes arising from re-measuring net assets or net liabilities of
defined benefit plan using the equity method attributable to the acquiree).
In consolidated financial statements, the equity interest in the acquiree held prior to the acquisition date is
remeasured 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. In respect of any other comprehensive income
attributable to the equity interest in the acquiree held prior to the acquisition date, other comprehensive income
is accounted for on the same accounting treatment as direct disposal of relevant asset or liability by the acquiree
(i.e. to be transferred to investment income at the acquisition date, except for the changes arising from re-
measuring net assets or net liabilities of defined benefit plan using the equity method attributable to the acquiree)
is transferred to investment income in the period of the acquisition date.

6. 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.
The Company will conduct reassessment in the event there are changes in actual condition and situation causing
changes in relevant elements involved in the definition of control above.
(2) Basis for preparation of the consolidated financial statements
Subsidiaries are consolidated from the date on which the Company 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
16
INTERIM
acquired through business combination under common control, the operating results and cash flows from the
REPOR
beginning of the consolidation period to the consolidation date are also presented in the consolidated income
T
statement and the consolidated cash flow statements. The comparative amounts presented in the consolidated
financial statements are also adjusted accordingly.

6. Preparation of consolidated financial statements (Cont’d)
(2) Basis for preparation of the consolidated financial statements (Cont’d)
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-company 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 interest is presented in the
consolidated income statement under the “net profit” line item as “minority interest”. 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 interest.
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 16
lost. Other comprehensive income related to equity investment in the subsidiary is accounted for on the same INTERIM
REPORT
accounting treatment as direct disposal of relevant asset or liability by the acquiree at the time when the control
is lost (i.e. to be transferred to investment income, except for the changes arising from re-measuring net assets
or net liabilities of defined benefit plan of the subsidiary using the equity method). 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 V. 13 “Long-term equity investments” or Note V. 10 “Financial instruments” for
details.
When the Company disposes of equity investment in a subsidiary by a stage-up approach with several
transactions until the control over the subsidiary is lost, it shall determine whether these several transactions
related to the disposal of equity investment in a subsidiary until the control over the subsidiary is lost belong to
“transactions in a basket”. Usually, these several transactions related to the disposal of equity investment in a
subsidiary are accounted for as transactions in a basket when the terms, conditions and economic impacts of
these several transactions meet the following one or more conditions: (i) these transactions are entered into at the
same time or after considering their impacts on each other; (ii) these transactions as a whole can reach complete
business results; (iii) the occurrence of a transaction depends on at least the occurrence of an other transaction;
(iv) an individual transaction is not deemed as economic, but is deemed as economic when considered with
other transactions. If they are not transactions in a basket, each of which are accounted for in accordance with
applicable rules in “partial disposal of long-term equity investment of a subsidiary without losing control over a
subsidiary” (see Note V. 13 (2) ④) separately, and “the control over a subsidiary is lost due to partial disposal
of equity investment or other reasons” (see the preceding paragraph). When several transactions related to the
disposal of equity investment in a subsidiary until the control over the subsidiary is lost belong to transactions
in a basket, each of which is accounted for as disposal of a subsidiary with a transaction until the control over a
subsidiary is lost; however, the different between the amount of disposal prior to the loss of control and the net
assets of a subsidiary attributable to the disposal investment shall be recognised as other comprehensive income
in consolidated financial statements and transferred to profit or loss at the time when the control is lost.

7. Classification of joint arrangements and accounting treatment for joint ventures
A joint arrangement refers to an arrangement of two or more parties have joint control. In accordance with the
Company’s rights and obligations 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 V.13. (2) ②“long-term equity investments 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 (the assets does not constitute a business, the same
below) to or purchase assets 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 out 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
share of commitment in relation to the Company purchase assets from joint operations.

Cash and cash equivalents of the Company include cash on hand, deposits readily available for payment purpose and
short-term (normally fall due within three months from the date of acquisition) and highly liquid investments held the
Company which are readily convertible into known amounts of cash and which are subject to insignificant risk of value
change.
9. Foreign currency operations and translation of statements denominated in foreign currency
(1) Basis for translation of foreign currency transactions
The foreign currency transactions of the Company, when initially recognised, are translated into functional
currency at the prevailing spot exchange rate on the date of exchange, 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 foreign
currency exchange operations and transactions in connection with foreign currency exchange shall be translated
into functional currency at the exchange rate actually adopted.

(2) Basis for translation of foreign currency monetary items and foreign currency non-monetary items
On the balance sheet date, foreign currency monetary items shall be translated at the spot exchange rate on the
balance sheet date. All differences are included in the profit or loss in the period, except for: ①the differences
arising from foreign currency borrowings related to the acquisition or construction of fixed assets that are qualified
for capitalisation will be accounted for according to the principle of capitalisation; and ② exchange difference
arising from change in balance of carrying amount other than amortised cost of available for sale foreign monetary
items will be included in other comprehensive income.
Exchange differences arising from change in exchange rate where the preparation of consolidated financial
statements relates to foreign operations and foreign currency monetary items materially constitute net investment
in foreign operations shall be recorded into “other comprehensive income”; disposal of foreign operations shall be
included into profits and losses on disposal in the current period.
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 comprehensive income.

The financial statements denominated in foreign currency of a foreign operation are translated to RMB in
compliance with the following requirements: 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

On disposal of the entire owners’ equity in a foreign operation of the Company, or upon a loss of control over
a foreign operation due to disposal of certain equity investment or other reasons, the Company transfers the
exchange differences arising on translation of financial statements of this foreign operation attributable to owners’
equity of parent company presented under owners’ equity in the balance sheet, to profit or loss in the period in
which the disposal took place.
In case of partial disposal of equity investment or other reason that result in reduction in shareholding in a
foreign operation without losing control over it, the proportionate share of exchange differences arising from
the translation of financial statements will be attributable to minority interests and will not recognised in profit
or loss. For partial disposals of equity interests in foreign operations which are associates or joint ventures, the
proportionate share of the exchange differences arising from the translation of financial statements of foreign
operations is reclassified to profit or loss.
10. Financial instruments
Financial asset or financial liability will be recognised when the Company became one of the parties under a financial
instrument contract. Financial assets and financial liabilities are initially recognised at fair value, except for equity
16
INTERIM
instruments that are not quoted in an active market, the fair value of which cannot be reliably measured and over
REPOR
relevant investees of which the Company does not have control, joint control or significant influence, and debt financing
T
instruments subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. For financial assets and
financial liabilities measured at fair value and whose changes are carried through profit or loss, relevant transaction
costs are directly recognised in profit or loss for the period. For financial assets and financial liabilities classified as other
categories, relevant transaction costs are included in the amount initially recognised.
(1) 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.

(2) Classification, recognition and measurement of financial assets
Conventionally traded financial assets shall be recognised and derecognised at the trading date. Financial assets
shall be classified into loans and accounts receivable, available-for-sale financial assets and others for initial
recognition.
① 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 Company.
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.
② Available-for-sale financial assets
Available-for-sale financial assets represent investments in equity instruments, where the Company does
not have control, joint control or significant influence over the investee.
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, except for impairment loss and exchange 16
INTERIM
differences arising from foreign monetary financial assets and amortised cost which are accounted for REPORT
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. However, for investments
in equity instruments where there is no control, joint control or significant influence, and no quotation in an
active market and reliable measurement of their fair value, their fair values are subsequently measured at
cost.
Interests received from available-for-sale financial assets held and the cash dividends declared by the
investee are recognised as investment income.

(3) Impairment of financial assets
In addition to financial assets at fair value through profit or loss for the current period, the Company reviews
the book value of other financial assets at each balance sheet date and provides for impairment where there is
objective evidence that financial assets are impaired.
For a financial asset that is individually significant, the Company assesses the asset individually for impairment.
For a financial asset that is not individually significant, the Company assess the asset individually for impairment or
include the asset in a group of financial assets with similar credit risk characteristics and collectively assess them
for impairment. If it is determined that no objective evidence of impairment exists for an individually assessed
financial asset, whether the financial asset is individually significant or not, the financial asset is included in a
group of financial assets with similar credit risk characteristics and collectively assessed for impairment. Financial
assets for which an impairment loss is individually recognised are not included in the collective assessment for
impairment.
① Impairment of 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
16
INTERIM
and which is related to any event occurring after such recognition, the impairment loss originally recognised
shall be reversed to the extent that the carrying value of the financial assets upon reversal will not exceed
REPOR
T
the amortised cost as at the reversal date assuming there is no provision for impairment.
② Impairment of available-for-sale financial assets
In the event that decline in fair value of the available-for-sale equity instrument or fair value of the interest in
the investee’s identifiable net assets 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 decline of over 20% in such fair value. “Non-temporary
decline” refers to such fair value decreased continuously for more than 12 months. The continuous
decreasing period is determined on the basis of the drop of such fair value accumulated over 10%.
When the available-for-sale financial assets impair, the accumulated loss originally included in the other
comprehensive income arising from the decrease in fair value was transferred out and included in the profit
or loss for the period. The accumulated loss that transferred out is the balance of the initial acquisition
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 comprehensive 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.

(4) Recognition and measurement of transfers of financial asset
Financial asset that satisfied any of the following criteria shall be derecognised: ① the contract right to receive
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 such financial asset and 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.
If all criteria of recognition of transfer of financial assets are satisfied, the difference between the carrying amounts
of the financial assets transferred, the consideration received from the transfer and the accumulated changes in
fair value originally include in other comprehensive income shall be recognised in the profit or loss of the period.
If a part of the financial assets is qualified for derecognition, the carrying amount of the financial asset is allocated
between the part that continues to be recognised and the part that qualifies for derecognition, based on the fair
values of the respective parts. The difference between the following amounts is recognised in profit or loss for the
period: the sum of the consideration received and the carrying amount of the part that qualifies for derecognition 16
INTERIM
and the aforementioned carrying amount. REPORT
For financial assets that are sold or transferred with recourse or endorsement, the Company need to determine
whether the risk and rewards of ownership of the financial asset have been substantially transferred. If the risk
and rewards of ownership of the financial asset have been substantially transferred, the financial assets shall be
derecognised. If the risk and rewards of ownership of the financial asset have been retained, the financial assets
shall not be derecognised. If the Company neither transfers nor retains substantially all the risks and rewards of
ownership of the financial asset, the Company shall assess whether the control over the financial asset is retained,
and the financial assets shall be accounting for according to the above paragraphs.
(5) Classification and measurement of financial liabilities
Financial liabilities are classified at initial recognition: financial liabilities recognised at fair value with changes
carried through profit or loss and other financial liabilities. For financial liabilities measured at fair value with
changes recognised in profit or loss of the current period, relevant transaction costs are directly recognised in
profit or loss for the period. The amount is recognised initially at fair value and the subsequent changes in fair
value will be recognised in profit or loss for the period. For other financial liabilities, relevant transaction costs
are included in the amount initially recognised and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective
interest method, and relevant gain or loss arising from derecognition or amortisation are included in current profit
or loss.

(6) 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 Company (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.
(7) Offset of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities
If the Company owns the legitimate rights of offsetting the recognised financial assets and financial liabilities,
which are enforceable currently, and the Company plans to realise the financial assets or to clear off the financial
liabilities on a net amount basis or simultaneously, the financial assets and financial liabilities shall be reported in
the balance sheet upon offsetting. 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
16
INTERIM
of its liabilities. The issuance (including refinancing), repurchase, sale or cancellation of equity instruments by the
REPOR
Company is accounted for movement in equity. The Company does not recognise the movement in fair value of
T
equity instruments. Transaction costs related to equity transactions are deducted from equity.
Various distributions (excluding dividends) made by the Company to holders of equity instruments reduces
owners’ equity. The Company does not recognise the movement in fair value of equity instruments.
11. Accounts receivable
Accounts receivable includes accounts receivable and other receivables etc.
(1) Basis for recognition and measurement of bad debt provision
The Company carries out an overall inspection on the carrying amount of accounts receivable on the balance
sheet date. Where there arises any of the following objective evidences indicating that accounts receivable have
been impaired, an impairment provision will be made: ① a serious financial difficulty occurs to the debtor; ② the
debtor breaches any of the contractual stipulations (such as he fails to pay or delays the payment of interests
or the principal); ③ the debtor will probably go bankrupt or carry out other financial reorganisations; ④ other
objective evidences show that the accounts receivable are impaired.

① Recognition standard and method for making bad debt provision individually for individually significant
accounts receivable
Accounts receivable of more than RMB1 million is recognised as individually significant accounts receivable
by the Company.
For accounts receivable that is individually significant, the Company assesses such accounts receivable
individually for impairment. If it is determined that no objective evidence of impairment exists for an
individually assessed financial asset, the financial asset is included in a group of financial assets with
similar credit risk characteristics and collectively assessed for impairment. Accounts receivable for which
an impairment loss is individually recognised are not included in a group of accounts receivable with similar
credit risk characteristics and collectively assessed for impairment.

Accounts receivable which are individually insignificant but have the following features are subject to
impairment tests separately by the Company. If there is objective evidence indicating that the accounts
receivable are impaired, then impairment loss will be recognised and bad debts will be provided according
to the difference when the present value of future cash flow is lower than its carrying amounts, such as
accounts receivable with dispute against counterparties or involved in litigation or arbitration; there is
obvious objective of the accounts receivable indicated that the debtor is likely to fail to comply with the
repayment obligation, etc.
(3) Reversal of provision for bad debts
If there are evidences indicating that the value of the account receivable is recovered and that recovery is
connected to the event subsequent to the recognition of the loss, the impairment loss previously recognised will
be reversed and recorded into profit or loss for the period. However, the carrying amount so reversed shall not
exceed the amortised cost of the account receivable on the date of reversal on the assumption that no impairment
loss has been made.

12. Inventories
(1) Classification of inventories
Inventories mainly include raw materials, work in progress, goods in stock, developing products and consumable
biological assets etc.
(2) Pricing of inventories received and dispatched
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 developing products of land development companies under the Company are initially measured at cost. The
costs of developing products include preconstruction costs, expenditures for auxiliary 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.
Consumable biological assets refer to biological assets held for sale which include growing timber. Consumable
biological assets without a stock are stated at cost at initial recognition, and subsequently measured at fair value
when there is a stock. 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 canopy closure, including borrowing costs eligible for capitalisation. Subsequent expenses such as
maintenance cost incurred after canopy closure shall be included in profit or loss for the current period. 16
INTERIM
REPORT
The cost of consumable biological assets shall, at the time of harvest or disposal, be carried forward at carrying
value using the batch averaging method.
(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 taxes 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. Usually,
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. For large quantity and low value items of inventories, provision may be made based on categories
of inventories. For items of inventories relating to a product line that is produced and marketed in the same
geographical area and with the same or similar end uses or purposes, which cannot be practicable evaluated
separately from other items in that product line, provision for decline in value of inventories may be determined on
an aggregate basis.
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.
(4) We implement permanent inventory system as our inventory stock taking system.

13. Long-term equity investments
Long-term equity investments under this section refer to long-term equity investments in which the Company has
control, joint control or significant influence over the investee. Long-term equity investment without control or joint
control or significant influence of the Company 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. Details on its accounting policy please refer
to Note V. 10. “Financial instruments”.
Joint control is the Company’s contractually agreed sharing of control over an arrangement, which relevant activities
of such arrangement must be decided by unanimously agreement from parties who share control. Significant influence
is the power of the Company to participate in the financial and operating policy decisions of an investee, but to fail to
control or joint control the formulation of such policies together with other parties.
(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 under the consolidated financial statements of the ultimate controlling
party on the date of combination. The difference between the initial cost of the long-term equity investment and
the cash paid, non-cash assets transferred as well as the book value of the debts borne by the absorbing party
shall offset against the capital reserve. If the capital reserve is insufficient to offset, the retained earnings shall be
adjusted. If the consideration of the merger is satisfied by issue of equity securities, 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
16 under the consolidated financial statements of the ultimate controlling party on the date of combination. With the
INTERIM total face value of the shares issued as share capital, the difference between the initial cost of the long-term equity
REPOR
T investment and total face value of the shares issued shall be used to offset against the capital reserve. If the
capital reserve is insufficient to offset, the retained earnings shall be adjusted. For business combination resulted
in an enterprise under common control by acquiring equity of the absorbing party under common control through
a stage-up approach with several transactions, these transactions will be judged whether they shall be treat as
“transactions in a basket”. If they belong to “transactions in a basket”, these transactions will be accounted for a
transaction in obtaining control. If they are not belong to “transactions in a basket”, 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
under the consolidated financial statements of the ultimate controlling party on the date of combination. The
difference between the initial cost of the long-term equity investment and the aggregate of the carrying amount
of the long-term equity investment before merging and the carrying amount the additional consideration paid for
further share acquisition on the date of combination shall offset against the capital reserve. If the capital reserve
is insufficient to offset, the retained earnings shall be adjusted. Other comprehensive income recognised as a
result of the previously held equity investment accounted for using equity method on the date of combination or
recognised for available-for-sale financial assets will not be accounted for.
For a long-term equity investment acquired through a business combination involving enterprises not under
common control, the initial investment cost of the long-term equity investment shall be the cost of combination
on the date of acquisition. Cost of combination includes the aggregate fair value of assets paid by the acquirer,
liabilities incurred or borne and equity securities issued. For business combination resulted in an enterprise not
under common control by acquiring equity of the acquiree under common control through a stage-up approach
with several transactions, these transactions will be judged whether they shall be treat as “transactions in a
basket”. If they belong to “transactions in a basket”, these transactions will be accounted for a transaction in
obtaining control. If they are not belong to “transactions in a basket”, the initial investment cost of the long-
term equity investment accounted for using cost method shall be the aggregate of the carrying amount of
equity investment previously held by the acquiree and the additional investment cost. For previously held
equity accounted for using equity method, relevant other comprehensive income will not be accounted for. For
previously held equity investment classified as available-for-sale financial asset, the difference between its fair
value and carrying amount, as well as the accumulated movement in fair value previously included in the other
comprehensive income shall be transferred to profit or loss for the current period.

(1) Determination of investment cost (Cont’d)
Agent fees incurred by the absorbing party or 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.
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 Company in cash, the fair value of equity securities
issued by the Company, 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 Company,
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.
For additional equity investment made in order to obtain significant influence or common control over investee
without resulted in control, the relevant cost for long-term equity investment shall be the aggregate of fair value of
previously held equity investment and additional investment cost determined according to “Accounting Standard
for Business Enterprises No. 22 – Recognition and measurement of Financial Instruments”.
(2) Subsequent measurement and method for profit or loss recognition
Long-term equity investments with joint control (excluding those constitute joint ventures) or significant influence
on the investee are accounted for using equity method. In addition, long-term equity investments with control on 16
the investee are accounted for using cost method and record in the Company’s financial statements. INTERIM
REPORT
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. The cost for
long-term equity investment is adjusted in the event of additional investment or investment recovery. 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 and other comprehensive income shall be recognised based
on the Company’s share of the net profits or losses and other comprehensive income made by the
investee, respectively. Meanwhile, the carrying amount of long-term equity investment shall be adjusted.
The carrying amount of long-term equity investment shall be reduced based on the Company’s share of
profit or cash dividend distributed by the investee. In respect of the other movement of net profit or loss,
other comprehensive income and profit distribution of investee, the carrying value of long-term equity
investment shall be adjusted and included in the capital reserves. The Company 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 the event of
inconformity between the accounting policies and accounting periods of the investee and the Company,
16 the financial statements of the investee shall be adjusted in conformity with the accounting policies and
INTERIM accounting periods of the Company. Investment gain and other comprehensive income shall be recognised
REPOR
T accordingly. In respect of the transactions between the Company and its associates and joint ventures in
which the assets disposed of or sold are not classified as operation, the share of unrealised gain or loss
arising from internal transactions shall be eliminated by the portion attributable to the Company. Investment
gain shall be recognised accordingly. However, any unrealised loss arising from internal transactions
between the Company and an investee is not eliminated to the extent that the loss is impairment loss of the
transferred assets. In the event that the Company disposed of an asset classified as operation to its joint
ventures or associates, which resulted in acquisition of long-term equity investment by the investor without
obtaining control, the initial investment cost of additional long-term equity investment shall be the fair value
of disposed operation. The difference between initial investment cost and the carrying value of disposed
operation will be fully included in profit or loss for the current period. In the event that the Company sold an
asset classified as operation to its associates or joint ventures, the difference between the carrying value
of consideration received and operation shall be fully included in profit or loss for the current period. In the
event that the Company acquired an asset which formed an operation from its associates or joint ventures,
relevant transaction shall be accounted for in accordance with “Accounting Standards for Business
Enterprises No. 20 “Business combination”. All profit or loss related to the transaction shall be accounted
for.
The Company’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 Company 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
Company shall resume recognising its share of profits after setting off against the share of unrecognised
losses.
If there is debit variation in relation to the long-term equity investments in associates and joint venture held
prior to first adoption of the Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises by the Company on 1 January
2007, the amounts amortised over the original residual term using the straight-line method is included in the
profit or loss for the period.

③ Acquisition of minority interest
Upon the preparation of the consolidated financial statements, capital reserve is adjusted based on the
difference between the additional long term equity investment from acquisition of minority interest and the
share of net assets of the subsidiary attributable to the additional shareholding from the date of acquisition (or
date of combination). In the case of insufficient capital surplus to offset impairment, retained earnings shall
be adjusted.
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 loss in
control, it shall be accounted for in accordance with the relevant accounting policies as described in Note V.
6. (2) “Preparation Method of the Consolidated Financial Statements”.
On disposal of a long-term equity investment otherwise, the difference between the carrying amount of the
investment and the actual consideration paid is recognised through profit or loss in the current period.
In respect of long-term equity investment accounted for using equity method with the remaining equity 16

income and profit distribution of investee) shall be transferred to profit or loss for the current period on pro
rata basis.
In respect of long-term equity investment accounted for using cost method with the remaining equity
interest after disposal also accounted for using cost method, other comprehensive income recognised
using equity method or the recognition and measurement standard of financial instruments before obtaining
control over the investee shall be accounted for in accordance with the same accounting treatment for direct
disposal of relevant asset or liability by investee, and transferred to profit or loss for the current period on

In the event of loss of control over investee due to partial disposal of equity investment by the Company,
in preparing separate financial statements, the remaining equity interest which can apply common control
or impose significant influence over the investee after disposal shall be accounted for using equity method.
Such remaining equity interest shall be treated as accounting for using equity method since it is obtained
and adjustment was made accordingly. For remaining equity interest which cannot apply common control or
impose significant influence over the investee after disposal, it shall be accounted for using the recognition
and measurement standard of financial instruments. The difference between its fair value and carrying
amount as at the date of losing control shall be included in profit or loss for the current period. In respect of
other comprehensive income recognised using equity method or the recognition and measurement standard
of financial instruments before the Company obtained control over the investee, it shall be accounted for in
accordance with the same accounting treatment for direct disposal of relevant asset or liability by investee
at the time when the control over investee is lost. Movement of other owners’ equity (excluding net profit
or loss, other comprehensive income and profit distribution under net asset of investee accounted for and
recognised using equity method) shall be transferred to profit or loss for the current period at the time when
the control over investee is lost. Of which, for the remaining equity interest after disposal accounted for
using equity method, other comprehensive income and other owners’ equity shall be transferred on pro rata

basis. For the remaining equity interest after disposal accounted for using the recognition and measurement
standard of financial instruments, other comprehensive income and other owners’ equity shall be fully

In the event of loss of common control or significant influence over investee due to partial disposal of equity
investment by the Company, the remaining equity interest after disposal shall be accounted for using the
recognition and measurement standard of financial instruments. The difference between its fair value and
carrying amount as at the date of losing common control or significant influence shall be included in profit
or loss for the current period. In respect of other comprehensive income recognised under previous equity
investment using equity method, it shall be accounted for in accordance with the same accounting treatment
for direct disposal of relevant asset or liability by investee at the time when equity method was ceased to
be used. Movement of other owners’ equity (excluding net profit or loss, other comprehensive income and
profit distribution under net asset of investee accounted for and recognised using equity method) shall be
transferred to profit or loss for the current period at the time when equity method was ceased to be used.
The Company disposes its equity investment in subsidiary by a stage-up approach with several transactions
until the control over the subsidiary is lost. If the said transactions belong to “transactions in a basket”, each
transaction shall be accounted for as a single transaction of disposing equity investment of subsidiary and
loss of control. The difference between the disposal consideration for each transaction and the carrying
amount of the corresponding long-term equity investment of disposed equity interest before loss of control
shall initially recognised as other comprehensive income, and subsequently transferred to profit or loss
arising from loss of control for the current period upon loss of control.

14. Investment Property
Investment property refers to real estate held to earn rentals or for capital appreciation, or both.
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
Company 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 Company adopts cost method for subsequent measurement of investment property, which is depreciated using the
same policy as that for buildings.
The method for impaired test of investment property and measurement of impairment provision are detailed in Note V.
19 “Impairment of long-term assets”.
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.
16
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
INTERIM
property is sold, transferred, retired or damaged, the amount of proceeds on disposal of the property net of the carrying REPORT
amount and related tax and surcharges is recognised in profit or loss for the current period.
15. 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. Fixed assets
are recognised only if the Company is very likely to receive economic benefits from the asset and its cost can
be measured reliably. 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.

15. Fixed assets (Cont’d)
(2) Method for depreciation of each category of fixed assets
A fixed asset is depreciated over its useful life using the straight-line method since the month subsequent to the
one in which it is ready for intended use. The useful life, estimated net residual value rate and annual depreciation
rate of each category of fixed assets are as follows:
Method for Useful lives of Estimated Annual
Category depreciation depreciation (Year) residual value depreciation rate
Housing and building structure Straight-line method 20-40 5.00%-10.00% 2.25%-4.75%
Machinery and equipment Straight-line method 8-20 5.00%-10.00% 4.5%-11.88%
Transportation equipment Straight-line method 5-8 5.00%-10.00% 11.25%-19.00%
Electronic equipment Straight-line method 5 5.00%-10.00% 18.00%-19.00%
and others
Estimated net residual value of a fixed asset is the estimated amount that the Company 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.
(3) Methods of impairment test and provision of fixed assets
The method for impaired test of fixed assets and measurement of impairment provision are detailed in Note V. 19
16
INTERIM
“Impairment of long-term assets”.
REPOR
T (4) Recognition and accounting method of fixed assets acquired under finance leases
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. For
fixed assets acquired under finance leases, the basis for provision of leased assets depreciation is the same as
that of self-owned fixed assets. When it can be reasonably determined that the ownership of a leased asset will
be transferred at the end of the lease term, it is depreciated over the period of expected use; otherwise, the lease
asset is depreciated over the shorter period of the lease term and the period of expected use.
(5) Explanation on other matters
Subsequent expenditures incurred for a fixed asset shall be included in the cost of the fixed asset, only if it is
probable that economic benefits associated with the asset will flow to 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.
Fixed assets are derecognised when there is no economic benefit arising from disposal or expected use or
disposal of fixed assets. When a fixed asset is sold, transferred, retired or damaged, the Company 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 Company 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.

16. 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. A construction in progress is
reclassified to fixed assets when it has reached the working condition for its intended use.
The method for impaired test of construction in progress and measurement of impairment provision are detailed in Note V.
19 “Impairment of long-term asset”.
17. 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
borrowing costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset, when
expenditures for the asset and borrowing costs are being incurred, activities relating to the acquisition, construction
or production of the asset that are necessary to prepare the asset for its intended use or sale have commenced, such
borrowing costs shall be capitalised as part of the cost of that asset; and capitalisation shall discontinue when the
qualifying asset is ready for its intended use or sale. 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 Company shall determine the amount of interest to be capitalised on such borrowings 16
INTERIM
by applying a capitalisation rate to the weighted average of the excess amounts of cumulative expenditures on the asset REPORT
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.

18. Intangible assets
(1) Intangible assets
An intangible asset is an identifiable non-monetary asset without physical substance owned or controlled by the
Company.
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 Company and the cost of the asset can be measured reliably. Other expenditures on an item asset
shall be charged to profit or loss when incurred.
Land use right acquired shall normally be recognised as an intangible asset. Self-constructed buildings (e.g.
plants), related land use right and the buildings shall be separately accounted for as an intangible asset and fixed
asset. For buildings and structures purchased, the purchase consideration shall be allocated among the land
use right and the buildings on a reasonable basis. In case there is difficulty in making a reasonable allocation, the
consideration shall be recognised in full as fixed assets.
An intangible asset with a finite useful life shall be stated at cost less estimated net residual value and any
accumulated impairment loss provision and amortised using the straight-line method over its useful life when the
asset is available for use. Intangible assets with indefinite life are not amortised.
The Company 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
16
INTERIM
accounted for as a change in accounting estimate. For an intangible asset with an indefinite useful life, the
Company shall review the useful life of the asset in each accounting period. If there is evidence indicating that the
REPOR
T useful life of that intangible asset is finite, Chenming Paper shall estimate the useful life of that asset and apply the
accounting policies accordingly.
(2) Research and development expenditure
Research and development expenditure of the Company 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; and 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;
⑤ the expenses attributable to the development phase of the intangible asset can be measured reliably.
If the expenses incurred during the research phase and the development phase cannot be distinguished
separately, all development expenses incurred are accounted for in the profit or loss for the current period.
(3) Methods of impairment test and provision of intangible assets
The method for impaired test of intangible assets and measurement of impairment provision are detailed in Note V.

19. Impairment of long-term asset
The Company will judge if there is any indication of impairment as at the balance sheet date in respect of noncurrent
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 Company 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.
For the purpose of impairment testing, the carrying amount of goodwill presented separately in the financial statements 16
shall be allocated to the asset groups or group of assets benefiting from synergy of business combination. If the INTERIM
REPORT
recoverable amount is less than the carrying amount, the Company 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.
20. Long-term prepaid expenses

24. 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.
(2) Revenue from the rendering of services
When the outcome of a transaction involving the rendering of services can be reliably estimated, it shall, on the
balance sheet date, recognise the revenue from the rendering of services employing the percentage-of-completion
method. The completion schedule of transaction concerning the rendering of services shall be ascertained
according to the proportion of service costs incurred to the estimated total costs.
The outcome of a transaction concerning the rendering of services can be reliably estimated, which shall
concurrently satisfy: ① The relevant amount of revenue can be reliably measured; ② it is probable that the
economic benefits will flow into the enterprise; ③ the completion schedule of the transaction can be reliably
ascertained; and ④ transaction costs incurred and to be incurred can be reliably measured.
When the outcome of a transaction involving the rendering of services cannot be reliably estimated, it shall 16
INTERIM
recognise the revenue from the rendering of services based on the cost of rendering services already incurred and REPORT
expected to be compensated, and the cost of rendering services incurred shall be recognised as an expense for
the current period. If the cost of rendering services is expected not to be compensated, it shall be recognised as
an expense.
When a contract or agreement signed by the Company 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

25. Government grants
Government grants are transfer of monetary assets or non-monetary assets from the government to the Company at no
consideration, excluding capital considerations from the government as an owner of the Company. 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.
If a government grant is in the form of a transfer of monetary asset, the item shall be measured at the amount received
or receivable. If a government grant is in the form of a transfer of non-monetary asset, the item shall be measured at
fair value. If fair value is not reliably determinable, the item shall be measured at a nominal amount and recognised
immediately in profit or loss for the current period. Government grants are generally recognised when received
and measured at the amount actually received, but are measured at the amount likely to be received when there is
conclusive evidence at the end of the accounting period that the Company will meet 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 in written form or reasonably deduced from related
requirements under financial fund management measures officially released without material uncertainties; (2) the grants
16
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
INTERIM
REPOR such policies should be open to any company satisfying conditions required and not specifically for certain companies;
T
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.

26. 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 Company 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 Company is 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.
Deferred income tax assets are not recognised for deductible temporary differences related to the initial 16
INTERIM
recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction which is neither a business combination nor affects accounting REPORT
profit or taxable profit (or deductible loss) at the time of the transaction. In addition, the Company 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
other comprehensive income or owners’ equity, which are recognised directly in owners’ equity, and deferred
income tax arising from a business combination, which is adjusted against the carrying amount of goodwill.

debt, the Company, at the same time, records the net amount after offsetting its current income tax assets and
current income tax liabilities.
The Company was granted the legal rights of net settlement of current income tax assets and current income
tax liabilities. Deferred income tax assets and deferred income tax liabilities are related to income tax to be paid
by the same entity liable to pay tax to the same tax collection and management authority or related to different
entities liable to pay tax, but the relevant entity liable to pay tax is intended to apply net settlement of current
income tax assets and liabilities or, at the same time, obtain assets, repay debt whenever every deferred income
tax assets and liabilities with importance would be reversed in the future, the Company records the net amount
after offsetting its current income tax assets and current income tax liabilities.
27. Lease

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 Company recorded as lessee
16

T
the current period. Contingent rent is recognised as profit or loss for the current period upon occurrence.
(2) Operating lease business with the Company 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.
(3) Financing lease business with the Company recorded as lessee
On the beginning date of the lease, the entry value of leased asset shall be at the lower of the fair value of the
leased asset and the present value of minimum lease payment at the beginning date of the lease. Minimum lease
payment shall be the entry value of long-term accounts payable, with difference recognised as unrecognised
financing expenses. In addition, initial direct costs attributable to leased items incurred during the process of
lease negotiation and signing of lease agreement shall be included in the value of leased assets. The balance
of minimum lease payment after deducting unrecognised financing expenses shall be accounted for long-term
liability and long-term liability due within one year.
Unrecognised financing expenses shall be recognised as financing expenses for the current period using effective
interest method during the leasing period. Contingent rent shall be included in profit or loss for the current period

Unrecognised financing income shall be recognised as financing income for the current period using effective
interest method during the leasing period. Contingent rent shall be included in profit or loss for the current period
at the time it incurred.
28. Discontinued operation
Discontinued operation refers to the operation disposed or classified as held-for-sale by the Company and presented
separately under operation segments and financial statements, which has fulfilled one of the following criteria: ① it
represents an independent key operation or key operating region; ② it is part of the proposed disposal plan on an

31. Critical accounting judgments and estimates
The Company 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 Company’s accounting policies. Such judgments,
estimates and assumptions are made based on the historical experiences of the Company’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 different from the current estimation of the Company’s management, which may cause critical adjustment to the
carrying amount of assets or liabilities which may be affected in the future.
The Company 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 Company needs to make judgments, estimates and assumptions as
to the items amount of financial statements are set out below:
(1) Classification of leases
The Company classifies its leases as operating lease and financing lease in accordance with “Accounting
Standard for Business Enterprises No. 21 – Leases”. When classifying leases, the management needs to analyse
and judge whether all risks and returns relating to the ownership of leased out assets have transferred to the
16
INTERIM
leasee, or whether the Company has obliged to all risks and returns relating to the ownership of leased assets.
REPOR
T
(2) Provision for bad debts
The Company 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.
(3) Allowance for inventories
Under the accounting policies of inventories and by measuring at the lower of cost and net realisable value, the
Company 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 sale ability 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.
(4) Fair value of consumable biological assets
A consumable biological asset is measured at fair value when there is a stock. A stock is judged to be formed
when the consumable biological asset - timber survives well after a growth period and the merchantable timber
exceeds 0.8 cubic metres.
The fair value of a consumable biological asset is discounted using expected cash flow and estimated and
measured using income approach.

31. Critical accounting judgments and estimates (Cont’d)
(5) Impairment of available-for-sale financial assets
In respect of impairment of available-for-sale financial assets, whether impairment loss shall be recognised in
income statement significantly depends on the judgments and assumptions of the management. While making
judgments and assumptions, the Company shall assess the excess of cost of the investee’s identifiable net assets
attributable to the investment over fair value and the duration.
(6) Provision for impairment of non-financial non-current assets
At the balance sheet date, the Company makes its judgment as to whether there is any evidence indicating
potential impairment of non-current assets other than financial assets. Intangible assets with indefinite useful life
shall be tested for impairment when there is any indication of impairment in addition to the annual impairment
testing. Other non-current assets other than financial assets shall be tested for impairment if there is any evidence
indicating that their carrying amount cannot be recovered.
When the carrying amount of an asset or asset groups is higher than the recoverable amount, being the higher of
its fair value less costs of disposal and the present value of the future cash flows expected to be derived from the
asset, it indicates impairment.
The net amount of the fair value less costs of disposal is determined by making reference to the price in a sale
agreement in an arm’s length transaction or the observable market price less the incremental costs directly
attributable to such assets disposal.
In projecting the present value of the future cash flows, critical judgments shall be made to the output, selling
16
INTERIM
REPORT
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 Company 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 Company 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.
(7) Depreciation and amortisation
The Company 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 Company shall regularly review the useful lives to determine the amount depreciated and amortised to be
accounted for in each reporting period. The useful life is determined by the Company 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.

(8) 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 Company’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.
(9) Income tax
There are some uncertainties in tax treatment and calculation for some transactions of the Company 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.

(2) Provision for impairment of goodwill
Goodwill arose from business combination not under common control during prior years.
On the balance sheet date, the management of the Company assessed the recoverable amount of cash-
generating unit which results in 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, and the time value of currency was estimated
using the discount rate of 8.32% (2014: 8.32%). Results of impairment test showed that no provision for
impairment loss was necessary to be made for goodwill. 16
