Principal operations of the Company during the Reporting Period Whether the Company needs to comply with the disclosure requirements of specific industries No (I) Principal operations of the Company during the reporting Period The Company is a large conglomerate principally engaged in pulp production, paper making, finance and fibre while also developing forestry, mining and logistics. The Company is the only listed company with A shares, B shares, H shares and preference shares in issue in the PRC, the first industrial and financing company in the industry having a finance company and a financial leasing company and among the top 100 listed companies of the PRC, having maintained a leading position among its industry peers for over 20 consecutive years in terms of its main indicators of corporate economic efficiency. The machine-made paper business is the principal business of the Company while the machine-made paper business and financial leasing business are the main sources of revenue and profit of the Company. During the reporting period, there was no significant change in the principal operations of the Company. The Company is a leading player in the paper making industry in China. Since its establishment, the Company has abided by the corporate mission of “revitalizing the national paper-making industry” and the corporate vision of building "a RMB100 billion company with a history of 100 years". Deepening in its principal business of paper making, the Company has established production bases in Shandong, Guangdong, Hubei, Jiangxi and Jilin with annual pulp and paper production capacity of over 10 million tonnes. It has the largest integrated forestry, pulp and paper project with the most advanced technology in the world and dozens of pulp and paper production lines of international advanced standards. The product mix of the Company has gradually diversified into eight major product series which focus on high and middle end products, including high-end offset paper, coated paper, white paper board, light weight coated paper, household paper, electrostatic copy paper, thermal paper and glassine paper, with each major product ranking among the best in terms of market share. The Company has the most diversified and complete set of product offering among the paper-making companies of the PRC, with considerable market competitiveness, bargaining power and risk resistance capacity. The Company has scientific research institutions including the national enterprise technology centre, the postdoctoral working station as well as state certified CNAS pulp and paper testing centre and has obtained over 150 national patents including 12 patents for invention, with 7 products selected as national new products and 35 products filling the gap in China. The Company has obtained 21 Science and Technology Progress Awards above the provincial level and undertaken five national science and technology projects and 26 provincial technological innovation projects. The Company has obtained the ISO9001 quality certification, ISO14001 environmental protection certification and FSC-COC certification, leading among its industry peers. Relying on strong capital strength of the Company and leveraging its excellent business project design ability, strong ability in credit integration and outstanding risk control capability while giving full play to the advantages of internationalisation and market-oriented operations, Chenming Leasing has been seeking the organic combination between industrial capital and financial capital and, on the basis of serving the upper- and lower-stream of the paper making industry, actively provides financing and value-added service solutions to large state-owned enterprises, listed companies, government financing platforms, quality private enterprises, new and high-tech enterprises, schools and hospitals, thus greatly promoting the healthy and rapid development of the real economy. (II) General information of the industries where the Company operated in during the reporting period The paper making industry is an important basic raw materials industry which is closely related to the national economy and social development. In recent years, the supply and demand of the paper making industry grew at a steady pace, creating a relatively stable production and marketing environment. According to the 2017 Annual Report of the Paper Making Industry of China (《中國造紙業2017年 年度報告》), in 2017, there were approximately 2,800 companies engaged in the production and paper and paper board in the PRC, with a nationwide paper and paper board production volume of 111,300,000 tonnes, representing a year-on-year increase of 2.53%; and a consumption volume of 108,970,000 tonnes, representing a year-on-year increase of 4.59%. Since the implementation of the “Thirteenth Five Year Plan”, the paper making industry has been subject to stricter environmental requirements with elevated government focus on “clear water and green hills”. The successive implementation of environmental protection inspections, licensing system for pollutant discharge and others reflected that more stringent environmental protection measures will become a prolonged trend in the industry. Certain provinces and cities promulgated, among others, air pollution prevention programs and major pollutant emission reduction programs, signalling enhanced supervision of local governments over the pollution discharge of paper making companies. Driven by the supply-side reform and under the overlapping effect of stricter environment protection policies, more severe limit on import quota of waste paper and closer inspection, cost pressure will force certain small and medium-sized enterprises to exit the market, thereby further increasing the industry concentration ratio. On the other hand, leading enterprises, with obvious cost advantages and high cost transferability, will enjoy further increase in profitability and gradual growth in market share. In particular, the large leading enterprises having comprehensive environmental facilities with significant economies of scale will become the actual beneficiaries under these environmental protection policies. Since initiating the forestry, pulp and paper integration strategic layout since 2001, the Company has enjoyed relatively high wood pulp self-sufficiency rate in the domestic paper making industry. On one hand, self-produced pulp enjoys significant cost advantage over purchased wood pulp, which enables the gross profit of the Company’s paper products to consistently rank among the top of the industry; on the other hand, the price of wood chips, the raw material for pulp making, is relatively stable, therefore, the procurement advantage of bulk supplies and the application of ancillary logistics services have significantly reduced the logistics and transportation costs of raw material and finished products, considerably increasing the Company’s cost advantage and quality stability. 8 Shandong Chenming Paper Holdings Limited 2018 Interim Report II.

Analysis of Core Competitiveness Whether the Company needs to comply with the disclosure requirements of specific industries No The Company is a leading player in the paper making industry of China. After innovation and development for more than half a 9 Shandong Chenming Paper Holdings Limited 2018 Interim Report century, it has developed into a large conglomerate principally engaged in paper making, finance, pulp and fibre and mining businesses while also involved in forestry, logistics, construction materials, and others. It is also the only listed company with A shares, B shares and H shares and preference shares in issue in China and the first company 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, being a leading player in the paper making industry in China, has achieved annual pulp and paper production capacity of over 10 million tonnes and is capable to compete with international paper making enterprises in scale. The large-scale centralised production and operation model has provided the Company with obvious economic benefits. The Company also has strong market influence over raw material procurement, product pricing and industry policymaking. 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 food packaging paper and high-end white paper board. The product mix of the Company has gradually diversified into eight major product series which focus on high and middle end products, including high-end offset paper, coated paper, white paper board, light weight coated paper, household paper, electrostatic copy paper, thermal paper and glassine 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. Advantages in technical equipment Currently, the Company has the largest integrated forestry, pulp and paper project with the most advanced technology in the world and dozens of pulp and paper production lines of international advanced standards. The Company’s overall technical equipment has reached the advanced international level. The major production equipment has been imported from internationally renowned manufacturers, including Valmet and Metso of Finland, Voith of Germany and TBC of the United States. The technical equipment used by the Company generally reflects the characteristics of being technology-intensive and the integration of mechanical and electrical in the paper making industry nowadays. The degassing technology, wet end chemical technology, intelligent sheet lateral control technology, coating preparation technology, free-jet coating technology, multi-nip pressure balanced calender technology and the technical processes independently developed by the Company of the pulp systems have all reached the international advanced level. 4. Advantages in research and innovation and new product development The Company is a high and new-technology enterprise and gives full play to its strong research capability. Supported by the national enterprise technology centre and the post-doctoral working station, the Company has established a comprehensive intellectual property system and put more and more efforts in technical innovation and scientific research and development to develop new products with high technology contents and high added value as well as proprietary technologies. Meanwhile, the technology centre of the Company has actively engaged in technical cooperation with schools, research institutions and international advanced enterprises. The Company has obtained over 150 national patents including 12 patents for invention, with 7 products selected as national new products and 35 products filling the gap in China. The Company participated in the formulation of 4 national standards and was awarded honours including “China Patent Shandong Star Enterprise”, becoming the “green engine” of the transformation and upgrading in the paper making industry and leading the direction of the latest and most advanced technology in the paper making industry in China. 5. Funding advantages The paper making industry is a capital-intensive industry, and funding is one of the most important factors in the development of the industry. The Company has high profitability and credit status, and has maintained long-term stable cooperative relations with its bankers, which provide the Company with an unobstructed indirect financing capacity. Since its listing, the Company has maintained good operating results and a sound corporate governance structure. It has conducted several financing activities in domestic and foreign capital markets. As the funds obtained have been applied effectively with good market image, the Company has stronger abilities in direct financing in the capital market. 6. Team advantages The key management members and the core personnel of the Company remain stable. In the process of innovation and development of the Company, an internal corporate culture developed by the stable core staff team favourable to the growth of the Company consolidates the management experience specific to the industry, thus resulting in a team advantage blended with management and culture. Meanwhile, the Company has attracted experienced professionals with financial, legal and financial management backgrounds through its advanced management philosophy and ample room for development. The high quality and professional team secures the sustainable development of the Company with a solid supply of talents. 7. Advantages in environmental governance capacity In recent years, the Company and its subsidiaries have constructed the pollution treatment facilities including the alkali recovery system, middle water treatment system, reclaimed water recovery system and black liquor comprehensive utilisation system. Relying on scientific and technological progress and innovation, the Company comprehensively promoted clean production and resource recycling. At the same time, the tightening of national environmental protection policies and supply-side structural reforms, as well as new and old kinetic energy conversion and upgrading policies will clear the obstacles for the development of the paper making industry while the replenishment and replacement of advanced production capacity will bring new blood and momentum into the paper making industry, favouring industry concentration to establish a sound industry cycle. 10 Shandong Chenming Paper Holdings Limited 2018 Interim Report IV Discussion and Analysis of Operations I.

Risk exposures of the Company and the measures to be taken 1. Risk on paper making industry Policy risk The paper making industry is a basic raw materials industry and its growth has been faster than the average growth of the national economy in recent years. However, the paper making industry’s profitability is closely correlated to the economic cycle, and the industry is therefore a cyclical industry fluctuating with the national macroeconomic performance, which will further affect the profitability of the Company. Hence, following the principles of scientific development and quality and efficiency enhancement, the Company will comprehensively improve its industrial structure and regional layout through the integration between its production and manufacture segment and financial services segment, and incorporation of smart technology into its industrial activities. The Company will emphasise on the development of leading businesses including paper making, finance and forestry so as to construct an efficient industrial system with synergies. Market fluctuation risk With the rapid growth of the national economy, economic globalisation and China’s accession to the WTO, China’s paper 19 Shandong Chenming Paper Holdings Limited 2018 Interim Report making industry has been facing increasingly fierce competition. Leveraging the strength and capital accumulated over the years, domestic enterprises have further expanded their sizes and improved their technological levels and product quality. Well-known paper making enterprises overseas have also directly set up production bases in China through sole proprietorship or joint ventures so as to participate in the domestic market competition by virtue of their advantages in size and technology. Besides, tariff reduction on China after accession to the WTO has also further intensified the impact on the international market. Hence, the Company will strive to enhance the quality of paper products and achieve the target of establishing a layout for high-end paper industry so as to increase the proportion of high-end paper. In recent years, the Company has been expanding its business size and optimising its product mix and has set up a few production lines for high-end paper. A diversified and high-end product mix enables the Company to spread market risk and strengthen the resistance towards market volatility. Besides, as high-end products have better profit margins, the Company can increase the proportion of high-end products through consistent improvement in product mix, thereby enhancing its profitability and comprehensive competitiveness. Risk of overcapacity and slowdown in demand Overcapacity is a prominent problem in the paper making and paper product industry in China such that there has been fierce competition among enterprises. Since 2013, affected by slowdown in the macroeconomic growth, the demand in paper making industry has been weak. At the same time, as China has encouraged energy conservation and emission reduction, the backward production capacity will be phased out, and the new projects will significantly realise economies of scale. By virtue of the economies of scale in the paper making industry, the production capacity of individual paper making projects under construction and planning for construction in China is large, which affects the demand and supply relationship in the whole paper making industry. Hence, the Company will upgrade its equipment and its technological level, expand its product mix, improve its product quality and focus on the research and development of high-end products so as to improve its competitiveness. Risk of price fluctuation of raw materials The major raw materials used by the Company are wood pulp and waste paper. The market prices of wood pulp and waste paper fluctuate significantly. The market price fluctuation of raw material has significantly affected the production costs of the Company. In addition to intensified market competition resulting from surging capacity in the industry in recent years, the increases in prices of a number of paper products were not in line with the increases in prices of raw materials. 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 the Zhanjiang Chenming pulp project, the Huanggang Chenming pulp project and the Shouguang chemical pulp project, thereby eliminating the limitations of upstream resources on the Company’s development and enhancing the Company’s sustainable development. Risk of change in environmental protection policies China has been raising the standards for environmental protection in recent years. 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. A higher emission standard is bound to increase the Company’s environmental protection costs and a high entry standard may result in the slowdown of scale expansion. The Company always strives 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. 2. Risk on financial leasing business Policy risk Recently, the financial leasing business is regulated by the commerce departments at different levels instead of being directly regulated by the People‘s Bank of China or China Banking Regulatory Commission. The financial leasing industry in China is still at 20 Shandong Chenming Paper Holdings Limited 2018 Interim Report the exploration stage with incomplete laws and regulations. If there is any material adjustment or change in national or local policies for the financial leasing industry, the Company’s financial leasing business may be adversely affected, in turn harming the Company’s profitability. In September 2015, the General Office of the State Council promulgated the Guiding Opinions on Accelerating the Development of Financial Leasing Industry, which formulated comprehensive systematic planning on accelerating the development of the financial leasing industry. The financial leasing industry embraced a rare opportunity for leap-forward development. In February 2016, the General Office of People’s Government of Shandong Province promulgated the Opinions of the General Office of People’s Government of Shandong Province on Accelerating the Development of Financial Leasing Industry by Implementing Document Guo Ban Fa [2015] No. 68, formulating specific measures to refine policy measures and ensure the measures being carries out properly, which provided actual policy support for the development of the financial leasing industry in Shandong Province. Liquidity risk In a market economy, the macroeconomic operation tends to be in cycles and the Company is inevitably affected by those cycles. At the same time, there is fierce competition in the financial industry and the interest margin is a main source of income for the financial leasing business. The market interest rate is affected by the benchmark interest rate of the People’s Bank of China, the macroeconomic environment, market demand and supply and other factors, bringing uncertainties to the fluctuation of the market interest rate, which in turn causes uncertainties in revenue from the financial leasing business. Hence, following the principles of scientific development and quality and efficiency enhancement, the Company will comprehensively improve its industrial structure and regional layout through the integration between its production and manufacture segment and financial services segment, and incorporation of smart technology into its industrial activities. The Company will emphasise on the development of leading businesses including paper making, finance and forestry so as to construct an efficient industrial system with synergies. Credit risk The Company may suffer from loss if the lessees of its financial leasing business cannot make full rental payment on time due to any reason and there are abuses on equipment or any other short-term behaviour. Although the risk of such rental being unrecoverable is minimal, the Company will also make bad debt provision as required under its accounting policy. If such amounts cannot be recovered on time, the Company may be exposed to risk of bad debts. The stringent risk management measures of Chenming Leasing provide comprehensive risk prevention and management for the Company’s projects. Besides, the Company usually cooperates with state-owned enterprises and local governments, so it has strong risk resistance and low risk of default. Chenming Leasing will strengthen risk management so as to enhance risk resistance and maintain high quality services. Operation risk Recently, there is still a gap between the practitioners working in the financial leasing industry and those working in traditional financial institutions such as banks in terms of their expertise and experience in financial profession in China. There is also a large gap in terms of investment in infrastructure. If internal control procedures are not implemented properly and involve operation risk as a result of operation errors, violations or non-standard execution, the Company may suffer from loss. Learning from the risk management experience of outstanding financial leasing companies at home and abroad, the leasing company has formulated and optimised the internal management system of the leasing business and established an effective system for risk assessment, risk control and risk tracking. The Company has also exercised proper control on business risk by regulating the key business procedures including quotation, guarantee review, contract signing, leased assets management and archives management. 21 Shandong Chenming Paper Holdings Limited 2018 Interim Report V Material Matters I.

The combination date is the date on which the absorbing party effectively obtains control of the party being absorbed. Assets and liabilities obtained by the absorbing party are measured at their carrying amount at the combination date as recorded by the party being merged. The difference between the carrying amount of the net assets obtained and the carrying amount of the consideration paid for the combination (or the aggregate nominal value of shares issued as consideration) is charged to the capital reserve (share capital premium). If the capital reserve (share capital premium) is not sufficient to absorb the difference, any excess shall be adjusted against retained earnings. Cost incurred by the absorbing party that is directly attributable to the business combination shall be charged to profit or loss in the period in which they are incurred. (2) Business combination not under common control A business combination not involving enterprises under common control is a business combination in which all of the combining enterprises are not ultimately controlled by the same party or parties before and after the 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. Transaction cost attributable to equity or debt securities issued by the acquirer as consideration is included in the initial costs. Contingent consideration involved is charged to the combination cost at its fair value on the acquisition date, in the event that adjustment on the contingent consideration is required as a result of new or additional evidence in relation to circumstances existed on the acquisition date emerges within 12 months from the acquisition date, the combination goodwill shall also be adjusted. The combination cost incurred by the acquirer and the identifiable net assets acquired from the combination are measured at their fair values on the acquisition date. Where the cost of a business combination exceeds the acquirer’s interest in the fair value of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets on the acquisition date, the difference is recognised as goodwill. Where the cost of a business combination is less than the acquirer’s interest in the fair value of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets, the acquirer shall first reassess the measurement of the fair value of the acquiree’s 64 Shandong Chenming Paper Holdings Limited 2018 Interim Report 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. For combination of business not under common control achieved by 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 Rule of 51 to “Accounting Standard for Business Enterprises No. 33 – Consolidated Financial Statements”(see Note V. 5 (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. 14 “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 acquired through business combinations under common control, the operating results and cash flows from the beginning of the consolidation period to the consolidation date are also presented in the consolidated income statement and the consolidated cash flow statements. The comparative amounts presented in the consolidated financial statements are also adjusted accordingly. The financial statements of the subsidiaries are adjusted in accordance with the accounting policies and accounting period of the Company in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements, where the accounting policies and the accounting periods are inconsistent between the Company and the subsidiaries. For acquisition of subsidiaries arising from merger of entities not under same control, the financial statements of the subsidiaries will be adjusted according to the fair value of the identifiable net assets at the acquisition date. 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 of the subsidiaries that are not attributable to the Company are presented under shareholders’ equity and net profit in the consolidated financial statements as minority interests and net profit of minority interest respectively. 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 “profit or loss of 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 65 Shandong Chenming Paper Holdings Limited 2018 Interim Report disposal of equity interest and the fair value of remaining equity interest over the share of net assets of the former subsidiary calculated continuously since the purchase date based on the shareholding percentage before disposal are recognised as investment income in the period when the control is lost. Other comprehensive income related to equity investment in the subsidiary is accounted for on the same 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. 14 “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: ① these transactions are entered into at the same time or after considering their impacts on each other; ② these transactions as a whole can reach complete business results; ③ the occurrence of a transaction depends on at least the occurrence of another transaction; ④ 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. 14 (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. 14 (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. 8. Standards for recognising cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents of the Company include cash on hand, deposits readily available for payment purpose and short-term (normally fall due within three months from the date of acquisition) and highly liquid investments held the Company which are readily convertible into known amount 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 the 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 the 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: ① the 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 66 Shandong Chenming Paper Holdings Limited 2018 Interim Report 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 the functional 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. (3) Basis for translation of foreign currency financial statements Exchange differences arising from change in exchange rate where the preparation of consolidated financial statements relates to foreign operations and foreign currency monetary items materially constitute net investment in foreign operations shall be recorded into “other comprehensive income” under “translation reserve”; disposal of foreign operations shall be included into profits and losses on disposal in the current period. The financial statements denominated in foreign currency of a foreign operation are translated to RMB in 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 after translated the profit appropriation items; differences between the aggregate of asset and liability items and owners’ equity items are recognised as “translation differences arising on the translation of financial statements denominated in foreign currencies” in other comprehensive income. On disposal of foreign operations and loss of control, exchange differences arising from the translation of financial statements denominated in foreign currencies related to the disposed foreign operations which has been included in owners’ equity in the balance sheet, shall be transferred to profit or loss in whole or in proportionate share in the period in which the disposal took place. Cash flow dominated in foreign currency or from foreign subsidiaries shall be translated at the spot exchange rate when it incurs. Effects arising from changes of exchange rate of cash shall be presented separately in the cash flow statements. The opening balance and the prior year’s figures are presented according to the translated amounts of the prior year. 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 instruments that are not quoted in an active market, the fair value of which cannot be reliably measured and over relevant investees of which the Company does not have control, joint control or significant influence, and debt financing 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 67 Shandong Chenming Paper Holdings Limited 2018 Interim Report 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 equity instruments over relevant investees of which the Company does not have control, joint control or significant influence. 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 differences arising from foreign monetary financial assets and amortised cost which are accounted for through profit or loss for the current period. The financial assets will be transferred out of the financial assets on derecognition and accounted for through profit or loss for the current period. However, for equity investment of which the Company does not have control, joint control or significant influence, not quoted in an active market and the fair value of which cannot be measured reliably, 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 The Company reviews the carrying amount of financial assets on 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 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 amount of the financial assets upon reversal will not exceed 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 amount of the financial assets transferred and the sum of the consideration received from the transfer and the accumulated changes in fair value originally included in other comprehensive income shall be recognised in the profit or loss for 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 and the aforementioned carrying amount. For financial assets that are sold or transferred with recourse or endorsement, the Company needs 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 68 Shandong Chenming Paper Holdings Limited 2018 Interim Report 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 are 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 of its liabilities. The issuance (including refinancing), repurchase, sale or cancellation of equity instruments by the Company is accounted for movement in equity. The Company does not recognise the movement in fair value of 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 (1) Making bad debt provision individually for individually significant accounts receivable Judgment basis or amount standard for individually significant Accounts receivable of more than RMB1 million is recognised as amount 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 Method for making bad debt provision individually for financial asset is included in a group of financial assets with individually significant accounts receivable 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. (2) Making bad debt provision for accounts receivable collectively assessed for impairment based on credit risk characteristics Name of groups Method for making bad debt provision Specific fund groups Other methods Ageing groups Ageing analysis Use of ageing analysis for making bad debt provision in the portfolio: √ Applicable □ Not applicable Ratio of other accounts receivable Ageing Ratio of accounts receivable provision provision Within 1 year (including 1 year) 5.00% 5.00% 69 Shandong Chenming Paper Holdings Limited 2018 Interim Report 1-2 years 10.00% 10.00% 2-3 years 20.00% 20.00% Over 3 years 100.00% 100.00% Using percentage of balance for making bad debt provision in the portfolio: □ Applicable √ Not applicable Using other methods for making bad debt provision in the portfolio: □ Applicable √ Not applicable (3) Accounts receivable individually insignificant but assessed individually for impairment 12. Inventories Whether the Company needs to comply with the disclosure requirements for specific industries No (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. The cost of consumable biological assets shall, at the time of harvest or disposal, be carried forward at carrying amount 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 valued 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. (5) Low-value consumables and packaging materials are amortised when issued for use. 13. Assets held-for-sale The Company shall classify a non-current asset or disposal group as held for sale if its carrying amount will be recovered principally through a sale transaction (including a non-monetary asset exchange of commercial substance, the same below) rather than through continuous use, and when all of the following conditions are met: according to the practice of disposing of this type of assets or disposal groups in a similar transaction, a non-current asset or disposal group is available for immediate sale in its present condition; the Company has made a resolution in respect of a disposal plan and obtained a firm purchase commitment from a buyer; and the sale is probable to be completed within one year. A disposal group is a group of assets to be disposed of, by sale or otherwise, together as a group in a single transaction, and liabilities directly associated with those assets that will be transferred in the transaction. Where goodwill acquired in a business combination has been allocated to the asset group or groups to which a disposal group belongs in accordance with the Accounting Standard for Business Enterprises No. 8 - Impairment of Assets, the disposal group shall include the goodwill allocated to it. 70 Shandong Chenming Paper Holdings Limited 2018 Interim Report When the Company measures initially or remeasures the non-current assets and disposal group classified as held for sale on the balance sheet date, its carrying amount is written down to its fair value less selling costs if its carrying amount is higher than its fair value less costs to sell. The reduced amount is recognised as asset impairment loss and charged to current profit or loss, with provision made for the impairment of the held-for-sale assets. With regard to the disposal group, the asset impairment loss recognised is offset by the carrying amount of the goodwill in the disposal group first, and then by the carrying amount of each of the non-current assets in the disposal group which are applicable to the measure requirements under the Accounting Standard for Business Enterprises No. 42 - Noncurrent Assets Held For Sale, Disposal Groups and Discontinued Operations (hereinafter referred to as “Held-For-Sale Standard”) pro rata. If on a subsequent balance sheet date, the net amount of the fair value of a held-for-sale disposal group less its costs to sell increases, the amount reduced previously shall be recovered, and reversed in the asset impairment loss recognised on the non-current asset which is applicable to the measurement requirements of the Held-For-Sale Standard after the non-current asset is classified as held for sale. The reversed amount is credited to current profit or loss, and the carrying amount of each non-current asset (other than goodwill) which is applicable to the measurement requirements of the Held-For-Sale Standard is increased pro rata according to the percentage of each non-current asset’s carrying amount. Neither the carrying amount of goodwill which has been offset nor the asset impairment loss recognised before the non-current asset to which the measurement requirements of the Held-For-Sale Standard is applicable is classified as held for sale can be reversed. No depreciation or amortisation is provided for a non-current asset in the non-current assets or disposal groups held for sale. Interest and other expenses attributable to the liabilities of a disposal group held for sale shall continue to be recognised. When a non-current asset or a disposal group does not meet the condition to be classified as held for sale, the Company ceases to classify it as held for sale or removes the non-current asset from the disposal group held for sale, and measures it at the lower of: (1) the carrying amount before it was classified as held for sale, adjusted for any depreciation (or amortisation) or impairment that would have been recognised had it not been classified as held for sale, and (2) its recoverable amount. 14. 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 IV. 9 “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 carrying amount 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 under the consolidated financial statements of the ultimate controlling party on the date of combination. With the total face value of the shares issued as share capital, the difference between the initial cost of the long-term equity 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 do 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 do 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. 71 Shandong Chenming Paper Holdings Limited 2018 Interim Report 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, the fair value of equity securities issued by the Company, the agreed value of investment contract or agreement, the fair value or original carrying amount 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 the investee are accounted for using cost method and record in the Company’s financial statements. ① Long-term equity investments accounted for using the cost method Under the cost method, a long-term equity investment is measured at its initial investment cost. 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 amount 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, the financial statements of the investee shall be adjusted in conformity with the accounting policies and accounting periods of the Company. Investment gain and other comprehensive income shall be recognised 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 amount 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 amount 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 72 Shandong Chenming Paper Holdings Limited 2018 Interim Report 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 interest after disposal also accounted for using equity method, other comprehensive income previously under owners’ equity shall be accounted for in accordance with the same accounting treatment for direct disposal of relevant asset or liability by investee on pro rata basis at the time of disposal. The owners’ equity recognised for the movement of other owners’ equity (excluding net profit or loss, other comprehensive 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 pro rata basis. 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 on pro rata basis. 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 the 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 transferred. 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. 15. Investment property Measurement of investment property Measured by using the cost method Depreciation or amortisation methods 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. 20 “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 73 Shandong Chenming Paper Holdings Limited 2018 Interim Report rentals or for capital appreciation, such fixed assets or intangible assets shall become an investment property since the date of its conversion. Investment property is measured at cost during its conversion. Upon the conversion, the property shall be stated at the carrying amount prior to the conversion. If an investment property is disposed of or if it withdraws permanently from use and no economic benefit will be obtained from the disposal, the recognition of it as an investment property shall be terminated. When an investment property is sold, transferred, retired or damaged, the amount of proceeds on disposal of the property net of the carrying amount and related tax and surcharges is recognised in profit or loss for the current period. 16. Fixed assets (1) Conditions for recognition 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. (2) Depreciation method Useful lives of Estimated residual value Annual depreciation rate Category Depreciation method depreciation (Year) (%) (%) Housing and building structure Straight-line method 20-40 5-10 2.25-4.75 Machinery and equipment Straight-line method 8-20 5-10 4.50-11.88 Transportation equipment Straight-line method 5-8 5-10 11.25-19.00 Electronic equipment and others Straight-line method 5 5-10 18.00-19.00 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) Recognition, accounting and depreciation 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. 17. 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 IV. 20 “Impairment of long-term asset”. 18. Borrowing costs Borrowing costs include interest, amortisation of discounts or premiums related to borrowings, ancillary costs incurred in connection with the arrangement of borrowings, and exchange differences arising from foreign currency borrowings. For 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 by applying a capitalisation rate to the 74 Shandong Chenming Paper Holdings Limited 2018 Interim Report weighted average of the excess amounts of cumulative expenditures on the asset over and above the amounts of specific-purpose borrowings. The capitalisation rate shall be the weighted average of the interest rates applicable to the general-purpose borrowings. During the capitalisation period, exchange differences on a specific purpose borrowing denominated in foreign currency shall be capitalised. Exchange differences related to general-purpose borrowings denominated in foreign currency shall be included in profit or loss for the current period. Qualifying assets are assets (fixed assets, investment property, inventories, etc.) that necessarily take a substantial period of time for acquisition, construction or production to get ready for their intended use or sale. Capitalisation of borrowing costs shall be suspended during periods in which the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset is interrupted abnormally, when the interruption is for a continuous period of more than 3 months, until the acquisition, construction or production of the qualifying asset is resumed. 19. Intangible assets (1) Accounting method, useful life and impairment test 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 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 useful life of that intangible asset is finite, an entity shall estimate the useful life of that asset and apply the accounting policies accordingly. (2) Accounting policy for internal 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. 20. 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 non-current non-financial assets such as fixed assets, construction in progress, intangible assets with a finite useful life, investment properties measured at cost, and long-term equity investments in subsidiaries, joint controlled entities and associates. If there is any evidence indicating that an asset may be impaired, recoverable amount shall be estimated for impairment test. Goodwill, intangible assets with an indefinite useful life and intangible assets beyond working conditions will be tested for impairment annually, regardless of whether there is any indication of impairment. If the impairment test result shows that the recoverable amount of an asset is less than its carrying amount, the impairment provision will be made according to the difference and recognised as an impairment loss. The recoverable amount of an asset is the higher of its fair value less costs of disposal and the present value of the future cash flows expected to be derived from the asset. An asset’s fair value is the price in a sale agreement in an arm’s length transaction. If there is no sale agreement but the asset is traded in 75 Shandong Chenming Paper Holdings Limited 2018 Interim Report 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 shall be allocated to the asset groups or group of assets benefiting from synergy of business combination. If the recoverable amount is less than the carrying amount, the 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. 21. Long-term prepaid expenses Long-term prepaid expenses are expenditures and other expenses which have incurred but that shall be amortised over the current period and subsequent periods of more than one year. Long-term prepaid expenses of the Company mainly include expenses on improvement of fixed assets and woodland rent. Long-term prepaid expenses are amortised over the estimated benefit period using the straight-line method. 22. Employee benefits (1) Accounting treatment for short-term staff remuneration Short-term remuneration mainly includes salaries, bonuses, allowance and subsides, staff welfare, medical insurance premium, maternity insurance premium, work-related injury insurance premium, housing provident funds, union operation costs and employee education costs and non-monetary welfare etc. Short-term remuneration incurred during the accounting period in which the Company’s staff provided services for the Company is recognised as liability and included in profit or loss for the current period or related asset costs. Of which, non-monetary welfare is measured at fair value. (2) Accounting treatment for post-employment benefits Post-employment benefits mainly include pension insurance premium and unemployment insurance premium. Post-employment benefits mainly adopt defined contribution plan. Relevant contribution amount is included in related asset costs or profit or loss for the current period during the period in which the expenses incurred. (3) Accounting treatment for termination benefits When the Company terminates the employment relationship with employees before the end of the employment contracts or provides compensation as an offer to encourage employees to accept voluntary redundancy, the Company shall recognise employee compensation liabilities arising from compensation for staff dismissal and included in profit or loss for the current period, when the Company cannot revoke unilaterally compensation for dismissal due to the cancellation of labour relationship plans and employee redundant proposals; and the Company recognise cost and expenses related to payment of compensation for dismissal and restructuring, whichever is earlier. However, if the compensation for termination of employment is not expected to be fully paid within 12 months from the reporting period, it shall be accounted for other long-term staff remuneration. (4) Accounting treatment for other long-term employee benefit The Company does not provide any other long-term employee benefit for its staff. 23. Provisions Obligations pertinent to the contingencies which satisfy the following conditions are recognised as provisions: (1) The obligation is a current obligation borne by the Company; (2) it is likely that an outflow of economic benefits will be resulted from the performance of the obligation; and (3) the amount of the obligation can be reliably measured. At the balance sheet date, provisions shall be measured at the best estimate of the necessary expenses required for the performance of existing obligations, after taking into account relevant risks, uncertainties, time value of money and other factors 76 Shandong Chenming Paper Holdings Limited 2018 Interim Report pertinent to the contingencies. If all or some expenses incurred for settlement of provisions are expected to be borne by the third party, the compensation amount shall, on a recoverable basis, be recognised as asset separately, and compensation amount recognised shall not be more than the carrying amount of provisions. 24. Preference shares, perpetual bonds and other financial instruments (1) Classification of perpetual bonds and preference shares Perpetual bonds, preference shares and other financial instruments issued by the Company are classified as equity instruments when all of the following conditions are satisfied: ① The financial instruments have no contractual obligation to pay in cash or other financial assets to other parties nor to exchange financial assets or financial liabilities under potential adverse condition with other parties; ②If the financial instrument will or may be settled in the entity’s own equity instruments, it is a non-derivative instrument that includes no contractual obligations to deliver a variable number of its own equity instruments; or a derivative that will be settled only by the Company exchanging a fixed amount of cash or other financial asset for a fixed number of its own equity instruments. Other than financial instruments classified as equity instruments according to the above conditions, other financial instruments issued by the Company shall be classified as financial liabilities. The financial instruments issued by the Company which are compound financial instruments are recognised as a liability based on the fair value of the liability component, and the amount net of the fair value of the liability component from the actual amount received is recognised as “other equity instruments”. Transaction costs that relate to the issue of a compound financial instrument are allocated to the liability and equity components in proportion to the allocation of gross proceeds. (2) Accounting treatment of perpetual bonds and preference shares For financial instruments classified as financial liabilities (such as perpetual bonds and preference shares), except borrowing costs qualifying for capitalisation (please refer to this Note V. 18 “Borrowing costs”), its related interest, dividends, gains or losses, and gains or losses arising from redemption or refinancing are credited to profit or loss for the current period. For financial instruments classified as equity instruments (such as perpetual bonds and preference shares), its issue (including refinancing), repurchase, sale or cancellation are treated by the Company as changes in equity, with related transaction costs deducted from equity. The Company’s distribution to holders of equity instruments are treated as a distribution of profits. Changes in the fair value of equity instruments are not recognised by the Company. 25. Revenue Whether the Company needs to comply with the disclosure requirements for specific industries No (1) Revenue from sales of goods Revenue is recognised when the Company has transferred to the buyer the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods, retains neither continuing managerial involvement to the degree usually associated with ownership nor effective control over the goods sold, will receive the economic benefits associated with the transaction, and can reliably measure the relevant amount of revenue and costs. 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 Company; ③ the completion schedule of the transaction can be reliably ascertained; and ④ transaction costs incurred and to be incurred can be reliably measured. When the outcome of a transaction involving the rendering of services cannot be reliably estimated, it shall recognise the revenue from the rendering of services based on the cost of rendering services already incurred and expected to be compensated, and the cost of rendering services incurred shall be recognised as an expense for the current period. If the cost of rendering services is expected not to be compensated, it shall be recognised as an expense. When a contract or agreement signed by the 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 respectively. If sales of goods and rendering of services cannot be differentiated or cannot be separately measured, they will be recognised as sales of goods in full. (3) Revenue from rendering of services Revenue from rendering of services is recognised as income on the accrual basis in accordance with the underlying contracts or agreements. (4) Interest income Interest income is calculated based on the time during which the Company’s monetary fund, and the effective interest rates. 77 Shandong Chenming Paper Holdings Limited 2018 Interim Report 26. Government grants (1) Judgment basis and accounting treatment of government grants related to assets 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. 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. (2) Judgment basis and accounting treatment of government grants related to income Other government grants are classified as related to revenue. 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. 27. Deferred income tax assets/deferred income tax liabilities (1) Current income tax At the balance sheet date, current income tax liabilities (or assets) for the current and prior periods shall be measured at the amount expected to be paid (or recovered) according to the requirements of tax laws. Taxable profits, which are the basis for calculating the current income tax expense, are determined after adjusting the accounting profits before tax for the year in accordance with relevant requirements of tax laws. (2) Deferred income tax assets and deferred income tax liabilities Temporary differences arising from the difference between the carrying amount of an asset or liability and its tax base, and the difference between the tax base and the carrying amount of those items that are not recognised as assets or liabilities but have a tax base that can be determined according to tax laws, shall be recognised as deferred income tax assets and deferred income tax liabilities using the balance sheet liability method. Deferred income tax liabilities are not recognised for taxable temporary differences related to: the initial recognition of goodwill; and the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction which is neither a business combination nor affects accounting profit or taxable profit (or deductible loss) at the time of the transaction. In addition, the 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 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 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. (4) Offset of income tax After granted the legal rights of net settlement and with the intention to use net settlement or obtain assets, repay 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 78 Shandong Chenming Paper Holdings Limited 2018 Interim Report net amount after offsetting its current income tax assets and current income tax liabilities. 28. Lease (1) Accounting treatment for operating 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. All other leases are classified as operating leases. (1) Operating lease business with the Company recorded as lessee Lease payment for operating lease is recognised as related asset cost or profits and losses for the current period using the straight-line method over the lease term. The initial direct cost is directly accounted in profit or loss for the current period. Contingent rent is recognised as profit or loss for the current period upon occurrence. (2) Operating lease business with the 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. (2) Accounting treatment for finance leases (1) 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 at the time it incurred. (2) Financing lease business with the Company recorded as lessor On the beginning date of the lease, the entry value of lease receivable shall be the aggregate of minimum lease receivable and initial direct costs at the beginning date of the lease. The unsecured balance shall be recorded. The aggregate of minimum lease receivable, initial direct costs and unsecured balance and the different between their present values shall be recognised as unrealised financing income. The balance of lease receivable after deducting unrecognised financing income shall be accounted for long-term debt and long-term debt due within one year. 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. (3) The debts arising from the financing lease business was provided for in the following manners: ① Individual assessment of impairment When assessing the probability of recovery of lease receivables from a customer, the ability and willingness to pay lease payments, and the payment record of the customer, profitability of the lease projects, and guarantees for leased assets will be analysed. If there are evidences indicating that the customer is unable to repay and its willingness to repay is not strong, and the principal and interest are still not recoverable, or only a very small portion can be recovered, after taking all possible measures or all necessary legal procedures, the receivables are subject to individual impairment assessment, and the difference between the present value of the future cash flows expected to be derived from the receivables and the carrying amount shall be accounted for as provision for bad debts and recognised in profit or loss. ② Collective assessment of impairment based on credit risk characteristics At the end of the period, each individual leasing contract is classified based on the amount past due and recovery, and the major basis for classification and provision for impairment are as follows: Category Basis for classification Proportion of provision (%) Normal Not yet past due 0.30 90 days past due 5.00 90 days - 1 year past due (inclusive) 10.00 Past due 1-2 years past due (inclusive) 30.00 2- 3 years past due (inclusive) 50.00 Over 3 years past due 100.00 ③ No bad debt provision will be made for lease receivables from related parties unless there is objective evidence that the 79 Shandong Chenming Paper Holdings Limited 2018 Interim Report Company is unable to recover the lease receivables from related parties. If there is objective evidence that the lease receivables from related parties are recovered and can be linked objectively to an event occurring after the write-down, the impairment losses recognised will be reversed and accounted for in profit or loss. The carrying amount reversed shall not exceed the assumed amortised costs on the date of reversal of the lease receivables had no impairment provision been made. 29. Other significant accounting policies and accounting estimates (1) Discontinued operations A discontinued operation is a separately identified component of the Group that either has been disposed of or is classified as held for sale, and meets one of the following conditions: ① represents a separate major line of business or geographical area of operations; ② is part of a single co-ordinated plan to dispose of a separate major line of business or geographical area of operations; and ③ is a subsidiary acquired exclusively with a view to resale. For the accounting treatment of discontinued operations, please refer to the relevant descriptions in Note IV. 12 “Assets and disposal groups held for sale”. (2) Repurchase of shares Share repurchase consideration paid and transaction costs to reduce the owner’s equity, repurchase, transfer or cancellation of Chenming Paper’s shares, the gains or losses are not recognised. In respect of transfer of treasury shares, the difference between the actual amount received and the carrying amount of treasury shares shall be included in capital reserve. When insufficient to dilute, capital reserve will be offset against the surplus reserve and retained profits. Treasury shares are cancelled at par value and by the number of shares cancelled to reduce the share capital. The difference between the book balance and the nominal value of the treasury shares shall be offset against the capital reserve. When insufficient to dilute, capital reserve will be offset against the surplus reserve and retained profits. 30. Changes in significant accounting policies and estimates (1) Changes in accounting policies □ Applicable √ Not applicable (2) Changes in significant accounting estimates □ Applicable √ Not applicable 31. Others 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 leasee, or whether the Company has obliged to all risks and returns relating to the ownership of leased assets. (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 80 Shandong Chenming Paper Holdings Limited 2018 Interim Report 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. (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. Where the fair value of an asset or an asset group does not have involved a sale agreement and an active market, the Company shall engage an expert to determine its fair value in a valuation. The net amount of the fair value less costs of disposal is determined by making reference to the price in a sale agreement in an arm’s length transaction or the observable market price less the incremental costs directly attributable to such assets disposal. In projecting the present value of the future cash flows, critical judgments shall be made to the output, selling price and relevant operating costs of such assets (or asset groups) and the discount rate applied in calculating the discount. In estimating the recoverable amount, the 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.

Key input of the method includes expected annual income and discount rate. Expected annual profit = expected annual income - expected total input Expected annual income = expected output x expected sales price Expected output = based on normal output of the Company’s logging Expected sales price = normal sales price of the Company in 2018 Expected total input is based on total historic input of saplings growing of the Company up to logging.
