III Business Overview


I.   Principal operations of the Company during the Reporting Period (Cont’d)
     (II)   General information of the industries where the Company operated
            The paper making industry is an important basic raw materials industry which is closely related to the national economy
            and social development with the characteristic of sustainable development. In recent years, the supply and demand
            of the paper making industry grew at a steady pace, creating a relatively stable production and sale environment.
            According to the 2018 Annual Report of China’s Paper Industry, in 2018, there were approximately 2,700 companies
            engaged in the production and paper and paper board in China, with a nationwide paper and paper board production
            volume of 104,350,000 tonnes; and a consumption volume of 104,390,000 tonnes. The annual consumption per capita
            was 75 kilograms (1.395 billion persons). From 2009 to 2018, the average annual growth rate of paper and paper board
            production volume was 2.12% and the average annual growth rate of consumption was 2.22%.

            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.

            In 2018, although the economic operation of China remained within a reasonable range, paper making enterprises
            experienced the same challenges as most brick-and-mortar enterprises in China did in the complex and changing
            domestic and international economic situation. From the fourth quarter of 2018 to the first quarter of 2019, affected
            by the macroeconomic situation, the overall prosperity of the paper making industry had been not high and paper
            prices fell sharply. However, since the second quarter, the prices of major paper types of the Company had been on
            the rise. Moreover, guided by market demand, the Company continued to strengthen its research and development
            and innovation in technology and product. It developed the production of more than 20 highly profitable products
            including straw paper and cast coating base paper only in the first half year. The overall profitability greatly improved.
            Furthermore, the forestry, pulp and paper integration strategic layout of the Company has basically completed during
            the year. The gross profit margin of its products significantly improved, further enhancing the profitability and risk
            aversion ability of the Company.

IV. 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
     century, it has developed into a large conglomerate principally engaged in pulp production and paper making with synergistic
     development in finance, mining, forestry, logistics and construction materials. The Company is the first company in the paper
     making industry having a finance company, as well as the only listed company with A shares, B shares and H shares in China.
     Compared with other enterprises in the industry, the Company has the following advantages:

     1.    Advantages of forestry-pulp-paper integration
           As the chemical wood pulp projects of Huanggang Chenming and Shouguang Meilun commence production, the
           Company currently has three major pulp mills in Zhanjiang, Huanggang and Shouguang. It has the largest wood pulp
           production capacity in China with annual production capacity of more than 4.2 million tonnes. It is the first integrated
           pulp and paper enterprise in China to be able to produce wood pulp to meet its paper making demand and its pulp
           production capacity and paper production capacity complement each other perfectly.

           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.

     2.    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 11 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.

    4.   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, Ahlstrom 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.

    5.   Advantages in research and innovation and new product development
         Shouguang Headquarters, Zhanjiang Chenming, Shouguang Meilun, Jiangxi Chenming, Jilin Chenming and Haiming
         Mining are high and new-technology enterprises and give full play to their 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
         210 national patents including 18 patents for invention and 7 products selected as national new products. The Company
         participated in the formulation of 5 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.




                                                                             SHANDONG CHENMING PAPER HOLDINGS LIMITED         11

     6.   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.

     7.   Team advantages
          The key management members and the core personnel of the Company remain stable. In the business 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,
          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.

     8.   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, middle water reuse system, white water recovery system and black
          liquor comprehensive utilisation system. The environmental indicators of the Company rank high in the country and in
          the world. Besides, the national policy of eliminating outdated production capacity will facilitate the development of the
          paper making industry while the replenishment and replacement of additional production capacity will bring new blood
          and momentum into the paper making industry, favouring industry concentration to establish a sound industry cycle.

IV Discussion and Analysis of Operations


I.   Overview
     During the reporting period, although the general operation of the Company is in good condition, the Company experienced
     huge challenges as other paper making enterprises did in the complex and changing domestic and international economic
     situation. Affected by various factors such as economic downturn, reduced market demand, tight supply and rising prices of
     raw materials, the paper making industry experienced a decline in economic efficiency, increased difficulties in production and
     operation, and falling paper prices. Accordingly, the Company achieved net profit of only RMB38.22 million in the first quarter,
     representing a decrease of 95.12% as compared to the corresponding period of prior year.

     Since the second quarter, the market improved significantly. The prices of the major paper types had been on the rise, and
     the benefits of the paper price rise were obvious. The Shouguang Meilun 510,000 tonne high-ended cultural paper project, the
     Shouguang Headquarters cultural paper transformation project, the Shouguang Meilun 1,000,000 tonne chemical pulp project,
     the Huanggang Chenming chemical pulp project and others invested and constructed by the Company were successively
     put into operation with smooth operation in the second quarter, and gradually began to play their role. The profitability of the
     Company improved significantly in the second quarter with a quarter-on-quarter increase of 1,157.95%.

     In the first half of 2019, the Company completed the production of machine-made paper of 2.15 million tonnes with sales of
     2.39 million tonnes and achieved revenue of RMB13,349 million, a year-on-year decrease of 14.16%. The Company recorded
     operating costs of RMB9,754 million, a year-on-year decrease of 4.93%. Total profit and net profit attributable to equity
     holders of the Company were RMB662 million and RMB510 million respectively, down by 70.12% and 71.43% from the prior
     year. The Company’s total assets amounted to RMB106,559 million.

     At present, the four major pulp and paper projects of the Company have been completed and commenced operation. There
     is no major project expenditure in the future; and the financial leasing company continued to reduce its business scale, and
     finance expenses will be effectively controlled. In the second half year, as the four major pulp and paper projects will operate
     at full capacity and fully realised their benefits, the Company will achieve a balance between the pulp production capacity and
     paper production capacity. The advantages of its pulp and paper integration will be obvious with significantly higher gross
     profit margin, thereby effectively enhancing the overall profitability and risk aversion ability of the Company.

     During the reporting period, the operating results and future development path of the Company were closely related to the
     ever improving operating and management systems, which are detailed as follows:

     (I)   Sales management
           Facing the complex and ever-changing market conditions, the sales system persistently executed the decision and
           planning made by the management of the Company with a pioneering attitude in spite of challenges, thus opening up
           a new dimension for sales. Through sales restructuring with adjustment to independent operation of seven product
           companies engaged in, among others, culture paper and coated paper from integrated sales, the Company greatly
           increased its operating efficiency. With an innovative management model, the Company established daily work and
           corresponding measures at each level, thus charting a clear course for employees to proceed with their tasks. By
           implementing the weekly meeting system, the weekly appraisal measure and a performance-driven approach, the
           Company stimulated employees’ diligence and determination, and enabled the sales teams to improve their work with
           fresh mentality.




                                                                                SHANDONG CHENMING PAPER HOLDINGS LIMITED          13
                                                                                                   INTERIM REPORT 2019
IV Discussion and Analysis of Operations


I.   Overview (Cont’d)
     (II)   Product management
            Benefiting from the strengthened basic management and adjustment in product structure, the production system in
            general remained stable and under control with constant improvement. The Company gained initiatives in the market
            through adjustment in the product structure and development of new products; reduced inventory, turnover days and
            operational pressure by implementing production scheduling; and shed light on the daily work direction for all levels of
            staff through innovative basic management with clearer instructions to and greater control over all levels of work.

     (III) Finance and financial capital management
            During the reporting period, the Company established a more rational financial business system by strengthening capital
            management, deepening cooperation between banks and the Company, facilitating and implementing debt-to-equity
            swaps, and establishing GDR Fund with professional institutions. Through strengthened capital management, the
            Company held regular meetings to study and formulate financing proposals, set up a steering group on financing,
            and stepped up its appraisal efforts, which yielded great results. Through deepening cooperation between banks and
            the Company, the Company established a closer relationship with banks, entered into cooperation agreements, and
            enjoyed quicker facility approval, which effectively improved its corporate financing environment. Through facilitating
            and implementing debt-to-equity swaps, the Company further optimised its asset and liability structure.

     (IV) Project construction
            During the reporting period, the Shouguang Meilun 510,000 tonne high-ended cultural paper project, the Shouguang
            Headquarters cultural paper transformation project, the Shouguang Meilun 1,000,000 tonne chemical pulp project, the
            Huanggang Chenming chemical pulp project and others invested and constructed by the Company were successively
            put into operation in the second quarter. The operation of the above projects will play a very important role in enhancing
            the sustainable development and achieving the strategic objectives of the Company.

     (V)    Corporate management

IV Discussion and Analysis of Operations


X.   Risk exposures of the Company and the measures to be taken
     1.   Policy risk
          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 incorporation of smart technology into its
          industrial activities. The Company will emphasise on the development of leading businesses including pulp production
          and paper making, so as to construct an efficient industrial system with synergies.

     2.   Market fluctuation risk
          With the rapid growth of the national economy, economic globalisation and China’s accession to the WTO, China’s
          paper making industry has been facing increasingly fierce competition. Leveraging on the strength and capital
          accumulated over the years, domestic enterprises have further expanded their size 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, the China-US trade war in recent years also had an effect on the
          exporting of the Company’s products.

          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 while 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.

     3.   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 macroeconomic growth, the demand
          in paper making industry has been weak. At the same time, China has been encouraging energy conservation and
          emission reduction. The outdated production capacity will be phased out, and thus the new projects will be on a large
          scale. By virtue of the economies of scale in the paper making industry, the production capacity of individual paper
          making projects which are under construction or planning for construction in China is large, which affects the demand
          and supply relationship in the whole paper making industry.

          Hence, the Company will make advancements in equipment and technological level, expand its product mix,
          improve the grading of products and focus on the research and development of high-end products so as to improve
          competitiveness.

IV Discussion and Analysis of Operations


X.   Risk exposures of the Company and the measures to be taken (Cont’d)
     4.   Risk of price fluctuation of raw materials
          Wood pulp is a major raw material in the Company. The market price of wood pulp fluctuates 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 remain steadfast in the “forestry-pulp-paper integration” development. With the commencement of
          production of chemical pulp projects of Huanggang Chenming and Shouguang Meilun, the Company currently has three
          major pulp mills in Zhanjiang, Huanggang and Shouguang. It has the largest wood pulp production capacity in China
          with annual production capacity of more than 4.2 million tonnes. The Company is the first integrated pulp and paper
          enterprise in China to be able to produce wood pulp to meet its paper making demand and its pulp production capacity
          and paper production capacity complement each other perfectly. The gross profit margin of its products will significantly
          improve, effectively enhancing the risk aversion ability.

     5.   Risk of change in environmental protection policies
          China has been raising the standards for environmental protection in recent years. More stringent environmental
          protection policies have been implemented in the paper making industry with successive implementation of
          environmental inspections and licensing system for pollutant discharge. 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 environmental protection costs in the industry 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 environmentally friendly
          projects and strive to achieve its waste emission target.

     6.   Risk on financial leasing business
          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. Moreover, the financial leasing company has
          been reducing the scale of the financial leasing business in recent years, adhering to the policy of “recovery only but no
          financing” The Company proceeds with getting rid of the financial leasing business gradually.

     Rectification

     √ Applicable            Not applicable

     Since January 2019, Jiangxi Chenming adjusted its water treatment technique, refined dosing operation, increased sludge
     press quality, and established, among others, monitoring response mechanism for water quantity and water standard at
     the middle water section which is designed to respond to changes in BTMP ingredient ratio and load. As a result, Jiangxi
     Chenming proved qualified on all indicators during two spontaneous sampling inspections conducted by Nanchang Ecological
     Environment Bureau and the environmental monitor station as well as a scheduled sampling inspection conducted by a third
     party. Based on such results, Nanchang Ecological Environment Bureau determined in June 2019 that the rectification for
     out-of-limit waste water (SS standard) of Jiangxi Chenming had been completed, and conducted post-inspection withdrawal
     for the non-compliance.

                with the national Law on the Prevention and Control of Environmental Pollution, Law on the Prevention and Control
                of Water Pollution, Law on the Prevention and Control of Air Pollution, Action Plan for Prevention and Control of
                Water Pollution and Law on the Prevention and Control of Environmental Pollution by Solid Waste and other laws.

          (2)   Both the Company and its subsidiaries are equipped with comprehensive environmental protection treatment
                facilities. The pre-treatment-aerobic-anaerobic-in-depth treatment technology is the major technology for water
                treatment, which can achieve standardised discharge of wastewater. Moreover, subsidiaries are equipped with
                recycling system for process effluent, and reuse treated wastewater to the greatest extent in order to minimise
                pollution. The Company has constructed a total of 9 water treatment plants, with daily treatment capacity of
                350,000 m3. In addition, governmental authority will regularly visit the Company to conduct comparison of online
                monitoring data every quarter. All data meets the standards.

          (3)   Each subsidiary’s organised emission outlets are equipped with an online monitoring system for real-time
                monitoring. All subsidiaries have their own power plants. Each self-owned plant has its own environmental
                protection facilities for de-dusting, desulphurisation and denitrification. Denitrification is conducted through SCR or
                SNCR, while desulphurisation is primarily conducted through gypsum desulphurisation (ammonia desulphurisation
                is adopted in the self-owned plant of Jiangxi Chenming). Substantially all of the emissions indicators are below the
                national and local execution standards. Other alkali recovery boilers and lime kilns are also in compliance with the
                emission standards.

          Environmental impact assessment of construction projects and other environmental protection administrative
          licensing

          The Company has strictly complied with the environmental laws and regulations all along to carry out environmental
          impact assessment of construction projects. The construction projects are all subject to environmental impact
          assessment. During the construction process, a reasonable environmental protection project construction plan is
          formulated and strictly implemented. The environmental protection facilities and the main project are designed,
          constructed and put into operation at the same time. At present, all construction projects put into production have
          obtained environmental impact assessment approvals and acceptance approvals.

          In June 2017, the Company and its subsidiaries completed the formalities for new discharge permits in accordance with
          the Measures for the Administration of Pollutant Discharge Permits of the Ministry of Environmental Protection, and the
          discharge permits of the new projects were renewed according to the environmental protection requirements in a timely
          manner.

          advantage of self-made pulp and improve economic efficiency, the Company adjusted the annual production of 400,000
          tonnes of bleached sulfate chemical wood pulp to annual production of 1 million tonnes of bleached sulfate chemical
          wood pulp and put it into production smoothly.

     5.   Accounting treatment of business combinations under common control and not under common control
          Business combinations refer to the transactions or events in which two or more separate enterprises merged as a single
          reporting entity. Business combinations are divided into business combinations under common control and not under
          common control.

          (1)   Business combination under common control

                A business combination involving enterprises under common control is a business combination in which all of the
                combining enterprises are ultimately controlled by the same party or parties before and after the combination,
                and that control is not transitory. The party that, on the combination date, obtains control of another enterprise
                participating in the combination is the absorbing party, while that other enterprise participating in the combination
                is a party being absorbed. The combination date is the date on which 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 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.

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

                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”. 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. 16 “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 remeasuring 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 remeasuring
                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.




                                                                                SHANDONG CHENMING PAPER HOLDINGS LIMITED           77

     6.   Preparation of consolidated financial statements (Cont’d)
          (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 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 remeasuring 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. 16 “Long-term equity investments” or Note V. 10 “Financial instruments” for

          (2)   Basis for preparation of the consolidated financial statements (Cont’d)

                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:             these transactions are entered
                into at the same time or after considering their impacts on each other;           these transactions as a whole can
                reach complete business results;         the occurrence of a transaction depends on at least the occurrence of
                another transaction;     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” 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. 16 (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. usually 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 of the Company 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:     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      exchange difference
                arising from change in balance of carrying amount other than amortised cost of available for sale foreign monetary
                items will be included in other comprehensive income.

                Exchange differences arising from change in exchange rate where the preparation of consolidated financial
                statements relates to foreign operations and foreign currency monetary items materially constitute net investment
                in foreign operations shall be recorded into “other comprehensive income”; disposal of foreign operations shall be
                included into profits and losses on disposal in the current period.

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

          (3)   Basis for translation of foreign currency financial statements (Cont’d)

                Cash flow dominated in foreign currency or from foreign subsidiaries shall be translated at the average exchange
                rate for the period in which the transaction occurred. 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.

          (1)   Classification, recognition and measurement of financial assets

                The Company classifies the financial assets according to the business model for managing the financial assets
                and characteristics of the contractual cash flows as follows: financial assets measured at amortised cost, financial
                assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income, and financial assets measured at fair value
                through profit or loss.

                Financial assets are measured at fair value upon initial recognition. For financial assets measured at fair value
                through profit or loss, relevant transaction costs are directly recognised in profit or loss for the period. For other
                categories of financial assets, relevant transaction costs are included in the amount initially recognised. Accounts
                receivable or bills receivable arising from sales of goods or rendering services or without significant financing
                component, are initially recognised based on the transaction price expected to be entitled by the Company.

                     Financial assets measured at amortised cost

                      The Company’s business model for managing the financial assets measured at amortised cost is to
                      collect the contractual cash flows, and the contractual cash flow characteristics of such financial assets
                      are consistent with the basic lending arrangements. That is, the cash flows generated on a specific date,
                      represent solely payment of the principal and interest on the outstanding principal amount. The Company
                      subsequently measures such financial assets at amortised cost using effective interest method, and the
                      gains or losses from amortisation or impairment is recognised in profit or loss for the current period.




                                                                                SHANDONG CHENMING PAPER HOLDINGS LIMITED           81

          (1)   Classification, recognition and measurement of financial assets (Cont’d)


                      Financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income

                      The Company’s business model for managing such financial assets is achieved both by collecting
                      contractual cash flows and selling of these assets. The contractual cash flow characteristics of such financial
                      assets are consistent with the basic lending arrangements. Such financial assets are measured by the
                      Company at fair value through other comprehensive income, but the impairment losses or gains, exchange
                      gains or losses, and interest income calculated by effective interest method are recognised in profit or loss
                      for the current period.

                      In addition, the Company designates certain equity instruments not held for trading as financial assets
                      measured at fair value through other comprehensive income. The Company recognises the dividends related
                      to such financial assets in profit or loss for the current period. Upon derecognition of such financial assets,
                      the accumulated gains or losses previously included in other comprehensive income will be transferred from
                      other comprehensive income to retained earnings, and will not be included in profit or loss for the current
                      period.

                      Financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss

                      The Company classifies the financial assets other than those measured at amortised cost and measured
                      at fair value through other comprehensive as financial assets measured at fair value through profit or
                      loss. In addition, upon initial recognition, the Company designates some financial assets as financial
                      assets measured at fair value through profit or loss in order to eliminate or significantly reduce accounting
                      mismatch. The Company subsequently measures such financial assets at fair value, and the changes in fair
                      value are recognised in profit or loss for the current period.

          (2)   Classification, recognition and measurement of financial liabilities

                Financial liabilities are classified as financial liabilities measured at fair value through profit or loss and other
                financial liabilities at initial recognition. For financial liabilities measured at fair value through profit or loss, relevant
                transaction costs are directly recognised in profit or loss for the period. For other financial liabilities, relevant
                transaction costs are included in the amount initially recognised.

                      Financial liabilities measured at fair value through profit or loss

                      Financial liabilities measured at fair value through profit or loss comprise held-for-trading financial liabilities
                      (including derivatives under financial liabilities) and financial liabilities designated as measured at fair value
                      through profit or loss upon initial recognition.

                      Held-for-trading financial liabilities (including derivatives under financial liabilities) are subsequently
                      measured at fair value, and the changes in fair value are recognised in profit or loss for the current period,
                      except for those related to hedging accounting.

                      The changes in fair value attributable to the changes in the Company’s own credit risk of the financial
                      liabilities designated as measured at fair value through profit or loss are recognised in other comprehensive
                      income, and the accumulated changes in fair value attributable to the changes in the Company’s own
                      credit risk which were recognised in other comprehensive income are transferred to retained earnings upon
                      derecognition of such liabilities. The remaining changes in fair value are recognised in profit or loss for
                      the current period. In case that the above accounting treatment for the effect of changes in such financial
                      liabilities’ own credit risk would create, or enlarge, an accounting mismatch, the Company will recognise
                      all gains or losses (including the amount affected by the changes in the Company’s own credit risk) of such
                      financial liabilities in profit or loss for the current period.

                      Other financial liabilities

                      Other financial liabilities, except for financial liabilities arising from transfer of financial assets not satisfying
                      derecognition criteria or continue involvement of transferred financial assets and financial guarantee
                      contracts liability, are classified as financial liabilities measured at amortised cost and are subsequently
                      measured at amortised cost, and the gains or losses arising from derecognition or amortisation are
                      recognised in profit or loss for the current period.

          (3)   Recognition and measurement of transfers of financial asset

                Financial asset that satisfied any of the following criteria shall be derecognised:      the contract right to receive
                the cash flows of the financial asset has terminated;     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       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 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.

          (4)   Derecognition of financial liabilities

                Financial liabilities (or a part thereof) are derecognised 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. In case that the Company makes substantial changes
                to the contractual terms of the original financial liabilities (or a part thereof), the original financial liabilities are
                derecognised, and the new financial liabilities are recognised in accordance with the revised terms.

                When financial liabilities (or a part thereof) are derecognised, the difference between the carrying amount of the
                financial liabilities derecognised and the consideration paid (including transferred non-cash assets or assumed
                financial liability) is recognised in profit or loss for the current period.

          (5)   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 net amount of 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.

          (6)   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. During the valuation process, the Company
                uses valuation techniques appropriate to the prevailing circumstances with the support of sufficient data and other
                information available, selects inputs consistent with the characteristics of the assets or liabilities considered in the
                transactions of relevant assets or liabilities by market participants, and gives priority to relevant observable inputs.
                Unobservable inputs are used only when relevant observable inputs are not accessible or the access to which is
                impracticable.

          (7)   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. Transaction costs related to equity transactions are deducted
                from equity. The Company does not recognise the movement in fair value of equity instruments.

                The dividends distributed by the Company for its equity instruments (including the “interest” arising from the
                instruments classified as equity instruments) during the existence period are accounted for as profit distribution.

     11. Bills receivable
          Method for determining the expected credit loss of bills receivable

          The Company measures the loss provisions for bills receivable in accordance with the expected credit loss amount for
          the entire period. Based on the credit risk characteristics of bills receivable, bills receivable are divided into different
          groups:

          Item                                  Basis for determining the groups


          Bank acceptance bills                 The acceptance party is a bank with less credit risk

          Commercial acceptance bills           The acceptance party is a company with higher credit risk

     12. Accounts receivable
          Method for determining the expected credit loss of accounts receivable

          For receivables and contract assets that do not contain significant financing components, the Company measures loss
          provisions based on the expected credit loss amount for the entire period.

          For receivables, contract assets and lease receivables that contain significant financing components, the Company
          chooses to always measure the loss provision based on the expected credit loss amount for the entire period.

          In addition to accounts receivable and contract assets which are individually assessed for credit risk, they are also
          classified into different groups based on their credit risk characteristics:

          Item                                  Basis for determining the groups


          Amount due from related parties       This group comprises amounts due from related parties with lower risks.

          Factoring receivables                 This group comprises factoring receivables with special risks.

          Amount due from distributor           This group comprises receivables with their ageing as credit risk characteristics.

     13. Other receivables
         Determination and accounting treatment of expected credit loss of other receivables

         The Company measures impairment losses using the expected credit losses amount in the next 12 months or the entire
         duration, based on whether the credit risk of other receivables has increased significantly upon initial recognition. In
         addition to other receivables which are individually assessed for credit risk, they are also classified into different groups
         based on their credit risk characteristics:

         Item                                   Basis for determining the groups


         Dividends receivable                   This group comprises dividends receivable.

         Interest receivable                    This group comprises interest due from financial institutions.

         Amount due from government             This group comprises amount due from government agencies with less risks.
         agencies

         Amount due from related parties        This group comprises amount due from related parties with less risks.

         Other receivables                      This group comprises for all types of deposits, advances and premiums receivable
                                                during daily and recurring activities.

     14. 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 and semi-finished products, turnover materials, finished
                products and goods etc.

         (2)    Pricing of inventories received and dispatched

                Inventories are measured at their planned cost when obtained. Cost of an inventory consists of purchase costs,
                processing costs and other costs. The difference between the planned cost and the actual cost is calculated by
                cost variance account, and the cost difference assumed for the inventories will be pay by instalment, so as to
                adjust the planned cost to the actual cost.

                Consumable biological assets refer to biological assets held-for-sale which include growing timber. Consumable
                biological assets without a stock are stated at historical 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.

     14. Inventories (Cont’d)
          (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)    Amortisation of low-value consumables and packaging materials

                 Low-value consumables and packaging materials are amortised when issued for use.

     15. Assets held-for-sale
          Assets held-for-sale measures non-current assets held for sale and assets within the disposal groups held for sale.
          When classifying such non-current assets or disposal groups as held-for-sale, assets held-for-sale shall be debited;
          items such as “accumulated depreciation” and “accumulated amortisation” are debited based on their respective
          accrued amounts; items such as “fixed assets”, “intangible assets”, “long-term equity investments” and “goodwill” are
          credited according their respective balances. For items for which provision for impairment is made, such provision shall
          be carried forward at the same time. The closing balance of debit for assets held-for-sale reflects the book balance of
          the Company’s non-current assets held for sale and assets within the disposal groups held for sale.

     16. Long-term receivables
          The Company measures the impairment loss of long-term receivables at an amount equal to the expected credit loss
          in the next 12 months or the lifetime expected credit loss ECL, depending on whether its credit risk has significantly
          increased upon initial recognition. Other than the long-term receivables assessed individually for credit risks, long-term
          receivables are classified into different groups based on their credit risk characteristics:

          Item                                   Basis for determining the groups


          Long-term receivables                  This group is comprised of long-term receivables not yet past due with normal
            not yet past due                     exposures.

          Long-term receivables overdue          This group is comprised of long-term receivables with higher past due exposures.




                                                                                  SHANDONG CHENMING PAPER HOLDINGS LIMITED            87

     17. 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 financial assets measured at fair value through profit
         or loss. In case such equity investment is not held for sale, then the Company may choose to designate such equity
         investment as financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income. Details on its accounting
         policy please refer to Note V. “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 shareholders’ 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
               shareholders’ 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 shareholders’ 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 financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income 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.

          (1)   Determination of investment cost (Cont’d)

                Agent fees incurred by the absorbing party or acquirer for the acquisition such as audit, legal service, and
                valuation and consultation fees, and other related administration expenses are charged to profit or loss in the
                current period at the time such expenses incurred.

                The long-term equity investment acquired through means other than a business combination shall be initially
                measured at its cost. Such cost is depended upon the acquired means of long-term equity investments, which is
                recognised based on the purchase cost actually paid by the Company in cash, the fair value of equity securities
                issued by the Company, the agreed value of investment contract or agreement, the fair value or original carrying
                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.

                     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.

                     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.

                     Long-term equity investments accounted for using the equity method (Cont’d)

                     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.

                     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.

                     Disposal of long-term equity investments

                     In these consolidated financial statements, for disposal of a portion of the long-term equity investments
                     in a subsidiary without loss of control, the difference between disposal cost and disposal of long-term
                     equity investments relative to the net assets of the subsidiary is charged to the owners’ equity. If disposal
                     of a portion of the long-term equity investments in a subsidiary by the parent company results in a loss in
                     control, it shall be accounted for in accordance with the relevant accounting policies as described in Note V.
                     6. (2) “Preparation Method of the Consolidated Financial Statements”.

                     On disposal of a long-term equity investment otherwise, the difference between the carrying amount of the
                     investment and the actual consideration paid is recognised through profit or loss in the current period.

                     In respect of long-term equity investment accounted for using equity method with the remaining equity
                     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.

                     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

                     equity (excluding net profit or loss, other comprehensive income and profit distribution under net asset of

                     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

                     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

                     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

                     The Company disposes its equity investment in subsidiary by a stage-up approach with several transactions

                     transaction shall be accounted for as a single transaction of disposing equity investment of subsidiary and

     18. 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, which include leased
         land use rights, land use rights held for sale after appreciation, leased buildings, etc. In addition, for the vacant buildings
         that the Company holds for operating leases, if the Board (or similar bodies) makes a written decision that it is explicitly
         used for operating leases and that the holdings do not change in the short term, they are also presented as investment
         property.

         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 or
         amortised using the same policy as that for buildings or land use rights.

         The method for impaired test of investment property and measurement of impairment provision are detailed in Note V.
         23 “Impairment of long-term assets”.

         In the event that an owner-occupied property or inventories is converted to an investment property (or vice versa), upon
         the conversion, the property shall be stated at the carrying amount prior to the conversion.

         In the event that an investment property is converted to an owner-occupied property, such property shall become fixed
         assets or intangible assets since the date of its conversion. In the event that an owner-occupied property is converted
         to real estate held to earn rentals or for capital appreciation, such fixed assets or intangible assets shall become an
         investment property since the date of its conversion. For investment property measured at cost during its conversion,
         upon the conversion, the property shall be stated at the carrying amount prior to the conversion. For investment
         property measured at fair value during its conversion, upon the conversion, the property shall be stated at the fair value
         on the date of 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.

     19. 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             Annual

         (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.

     20. Construction in progress
         Construction in progress is recognised based on the actual construction cost, including all expenditures incurred for
         construction projects, capitalised borrowing costs for the construction in progress before it has reached the working
         condition for its intended use, and other related expenses during the construction period. A construction in progress is
         reclassified to fixed assets when it has reached the working condition for its intended use.

         The method for impaired test of construction in progress and measurement of impairment provision are detailed in Note V.
         25 “Impairment of long-term asset”.

     21. 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 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.

     22. Biological assets
         Consumable biological assets refer to biological assets held-not-for-sale, which include forest trees being grown.
         Consumable biological assets are stated at cost at initial recognition. The cost of self-planting, self-cultivating, self-
         breeding or self-farming 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
         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.

         On the balance sheet date, consumable biological assets are measured at the lower of cost and net realisable value,
         and the impairment provision for consumable biological assets is made using the same approach as that used for the
         recognition of impairment provision for inventories. In case the factors causing impairment no longer exists, the reduced
         amount shall be recovered and reversed in the provision amount originally provided for impairment. The reversed
         amount shall be recognised in profit or loss for the current period.




                                                                              SHANDONG CHENMING PAPER HOLDINGS LIMITED          95

     23. Right-of-use assets
         (1)   Conditions for recognition

               Right-of-use assets refer to the rights of using the assets over the lease term. Right-of-use assets are initially
               measured at cost, including the amount of initial measurement under

               (I)     lease liabilities;

               (II)    for lease payment on or before the date of commencement of the lease period, where there was lease
                       incentive, such incentives shall be deducted;

               (III)   initial direct expenses incurred by the lessee;

               (IV)    costs expected to be incurred by the lessee for demolition and removal of leased assets, restoration of the
                       premises where the leased assets are located, or restoration of the leased assets to the conditions of the
                       lease terms.

         (2)   Depreciation method

               Right-of-use assets are depreciated using the straight-line method over its useful life.

               The Company adopts cost method for subsequent measurement of right-of-use assets. Where ownership of the
               lease assets during the lease term can be reasonably determined, right-of-use assets are depreciated over the
               remainder of useful lives of the lease assets; where ownership of the lease assets during the lease term cannot be
               reasonably determined, right-of-use assets are depreciated over the lease term or the remainder of useful lives of
               the lease assets, whichever is shorter.

          (2)   Accounting policy of 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:

                      it is technically feasible that the intangible asset can be used or sold upon completion;

                      there is intention to complete the intangible asset for use or sale;

                      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;

                      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;

                      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.

     25. Impairment of long-term asset
          The Company will judge if there is any indication of impairment as at the balance sheet date in respect of noncurrent
          non-financial assets such as fixed assets, construction in progress, intangible assets with a finite useful life, investment
          properties measured at cost, and long-term equity investments in subsidiaries, joint controlled entities and associates.
          If there is any evidence indicating that an asset may be impaired, recoverable amount shall be estimated for impairment
          test. Goodwill, intangible assets with an indefinite useful life and intangible assets beyond working conditions will be
          tested for impairment annually, regardless of whether there is any indication of impairment.

          If the impairment test result shows that the recoverable amount of an asset is less than its carrying amount, the
          impairment provision will be made according to the difference and recognised as an impairment loss. The recoverable
          amount of an asset is the higher of its fair value less costs of disposal and the present value of the future cash
          flows expected to be derived from the asset. An asset’s fair value is the price in a sale agreement in an arm’s length
          transaction. If there is no sale agreement but the asset is traded in an active market, fair value shall be determined
          based on the bid price. If there is neither sale agreement nor active market for an asset, fair value shall be based on
          the best available information. Costs of disposal are expenses attributable to disposal of the asset, including legal fee,
          relevant tax and surcharges, transportation fee and direct expenses incurred to prepare the asset for its intended sale.
          The present value of the future cash flows expected to be derived from the asset over the course of continued use and
          final disposal is determined as the amount discounted using an appropriately selected discount rate. Provisions for
          assets impairment shall be made and recognised for the individual asset. If it is not possible to estimate the recoverable
          amount of the individual asset, the Company shall determine the recoverable amount of the asset group to which the
          asset belongs. The asset group is the smallest group of assets capable of generating cash flows independently.




                                                                                 SHANDONG CHENMING PAPER HOLDINGS LIMITED            97

     25. Impairment of long-term asset (Cont’d)
          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.

     26. Long-term prepaid expenses
          Long-term prepaid expenses measures the Company’s incurred expenses with amortisation period of over one year,
          including repair expenditure of fixed assets, improvement expenditure of fixed assets under lease and other prepaid
          expenses with amortisation period of over one year.

     27. Contract liabilities
          A contract liability represents the Company’s obligation to transfer goods to a customer for which the Company has
          received consideration (or an amount of consideration is due) from the customer. If the customer has already paid
          the contract consideration before the Company transfers goods to the customer or the Company has obtained the
          unconditional collection right, the Company will recognise such amount received or receivable as contract liabilities
          at earlier of the actual payment by the customer or the amount payable becoming due. Contract assets and contract
          liabilities under the same contract are presented on a net basis, and contract assets and contract liabilities under
          different contracts are not offset.

     28. Employee benefits
          (1)   Accounting treatment for short-term staff remuneration

                Staff remuneration of the Company mainly includes short-term staff remuneration, post-employment benefits and
                termination benefits, in which:

                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.
                Postemployment benefits include defined contribution plan. For those adopted 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.

     28. Employee benefits (Cont’d)
          (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.

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

          (4)   Accounting treatment for other long-term employee benefit

                For other long-term employee benefit provided by the Company for employees which meets the criteria of defined
                contribution plan, accounting treatment for defined contribution plan will be adopted; otherwise accounting
                treatment for defined benefit plan will be adopted.

     29. 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 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.

      30. 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:

                      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;

                      If 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. 21 “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.

     31. Revenue
         Accounting policies adopted for revenue recognition and measurement

         Revenue is recognised when the customer obtains control of the relevant goods, subject to the fulfilment of the following
         conditions under the contract entered into between the Company and customers: the parties has approved the contract
         and undertaken to fulfil their respective obligations; the contract clearly states the parties to the contract and their rights
         and obligations relating to the transferred goods and rendered services; the contract clearly stated the payment terms
         relating to the transferred goods; the contract has commercial substance that the fulfilment of the contract will result in
         changes in the risk, time frame or amount of the future cash flow risk of the Company; the collection of the consideration
         that the Company is entitled to for transferring the goods is probable.

         On the effective date of the contract, the Company identifies each performance obligation under such contracts and
         allocate the transaction price to each performance obligation based on the percentage of respective unit price of a
         good guaranteed by each performance obligation. The determination of the transaction price has taken into account the
         impact of factors such as variable consideration, the significant financing component existed in the contract, non-cash
         consideration, and consideration payable to the customers.

         For each of the performance obligations under the contract, if one of the following conditions is fulfilled, the Company
         shall recognise the transaction price which was allocated to each of the performance obligations as revenue based on
         the progress of performance within a certain period: when the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the
         benefits provided by the Company when the Company performs its obligations under the contract; when the customer
         is able to control the good in progress in the course of performance by the Company under the contract; when the
         product produced by the Company under the contract is irreplaceable and the Company has the right to payment for
         performance completed to date during the whole contract term. The progress of performance is determined based
         on the nature of the transferred goods with the adoption of input method or output method. When the progress of
         performance cannot be reasonably determined, if the costs incurred by the Company are expected to be recoverable,
         the revenue will be recognised to the extent of the costs incurred until the progress of performance can be reasonably
         determined.

         If one of the above conditions is not fulfilled, the Company shall recognise the transaction price which was allocated
         to each of the performance obligations as revenue when the customer is able to control the relevant goods. When
         determining whether the customer has obtained control of the goods, the Company will consider the following
         indications: the enterprise has the current right to receive payment for the goods, which is when the customers has the
         current payment obligations for the goods; the enterprise has transferred the legal title of the goods to the customer,
         which is when the client possesses the legal title of the goods; the enterprise has transferred the physical possession
         of goods to the customer, which is when the customer obtain physical possession of the goods; the enterprise has
         transferred all of the substantial risks and rewards of ownership of the goods to the customer, which is when the client
         obtain all of the substantial risks and rewards of ownership of the goods to the customer; when the customer has
         accepted the goods, which is when other information indicates that the customer has obtained control of the goods.

         The point of time of recognition of revenue for sales of goods: the date when the goods are delivered to the customers
         with signature confirmation for the domestic sales business, and the date when the goods are loaded onto a vessel and
         declared at customs for the overseas sales business.




                                                                                 SHANDONG CHENMING PAPER HOLDINGS LIMITED          101

      32. Government grants
          Government grants are transfer of monetary assets or non-monetary assets from the government to the Company at no
          consideration, excluding capital considerations from the government as an investor entitling to corresponding owners’
          equity. Government grants are classified into government grants related to assets and government grants related to
          income. Government grants obtained for acquisition or construction of long-term assets or other forms of long-term
          asset formation are classified as related to assets. Other government grants are classified as related to revenue. If
          related government documents do not specify the objective of the grants, the grants are classified as related to assets
          or income as follows: (1) In case a project for which the grants are granted is specified in such documents, the grants
          are classified as related to assets and income based on the budgeted ratio of the expenditure on asset formation
          and the expenditure recorded as expenses, where such ratio should be reviewed and, if necessary, changed on each
          balance sheet date; and (2) in case of general description without specifying any project in such documents, the grants
          are classified as related to income. If a government grant is in the form of a transfer of monetary asset, the item shall be
          measured at the amount received or receivable. If a government grant is in the form of a transfer of non-monetary asset,
          the item shall be measured at fair value. If fair value is not reliably determinable, the item shall be measured at a nominal
          amount and recognised immediately in profit or loss for the current period.

          Government grants are generally recognised when received and measured at the amount actually received, but are
          measured at the amount likely to be received when there is conclusive evidence at the end of the accounting period that
          the Company will meet related requirements of such grants and will be able to receive the grants. The government grants
          so measured should also satisfy the following conditions: (1) the amount of the grants be confirmed with competent
          authorities in written form or reasonably deduced from related requirements under financial fund management measures
          officially released without material uncertainties; (2) the grants be given based on financial support projects and fund
          management policies officially published and voluntarily disclosed by local financial authorities in accordance with
          the requirements under disclosure of government information, where such policies should be open to any company
          satisfying conditions required and not specifically for certain companies; (3) the date of payment be specified in related
          documents and the payment thereof be covered by corresponding budget to ensure such grants will be paid on time as
          specified; and (4) other relevant conditions (if any) which should be satisfied according to the specific conditions of the
          Company and the matters relating to such grants.

          A government grant related to an asset shall be recognised as deferred income, and evenly amortised to profit or loss
          for the current period over the useful life of the asset in a reasonable and systematic manner. For a government grant
          related to income, if the grant is a compensation for related costs, 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 or losses are recognised, or off set against the relevant costs or expenses; if the grant is a compensation
          for related costs, expenses or losses already incurred, the grant shall be recognised immediately in profit or loss for the
          current period.

          If a government grant contains both assets related and income related component at the same time, the accounting
          treatment will depend on the different parts of the government grant; if it is difficult to distinguish, the entire government
          grant is classified as a government grant related to income.

          A government grant related to daily activities of the Company is recognised in other gains or off set relevant costs
          or expenses relying on the essence of economic business; otherwise, recognised in non-operating income or non-
          operating expenses.

          For the repayment of a government grant already recognised, if there is any related deferred income, the repayment
          shall be off set against the carrying amount of the deferred income, and any excess shall be recognised in profit or loss
          for the current period; otherwise, the repayment shall be recognised immediately in profit or loss for the current period.

     33. 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 expenses

                 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 net amount
                 after offsetting its current income tax assets and current income tax liabilities.

      34. Lease
           (1)   Accounting treatment with the Company recorded as lessor

                      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.

                      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.

     34. Lease (Cont’d)
          (2)   Accounting treatment with the Company recorded as lessee

                On the beginning date of the lease, the Company recognises right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for leases,
                except for short-term lease and low-value asset lease with simplified treatment.

                The beginning date of the lease refers to the date since which the Company may use the lease assets provided
                by the lessor. The lease term refers to the period during which the Company has the right to use the lease assets
                which is irrevocable.

                Right-of-use assets refer to the rights of using the assets over the lease term. Right-of-use assets are initially
                measured at cost. For lease payment on or before the beginning date of the lease period, where there was lease
                incentive, such incentives shall be deducted, as well as the initial direct expenses incurred by the lessee, costs
                expected to be incurred by the lessee for demolition and removal of leased assets, restoration of the premises
                where the leased assets are located, or restoration of the leased assets to the conditions of the lease terms. Right-
                of-use assets are depreciated using the straight-line method over its useful life.

                Lease liabilities are initially measured at the present value of outstanding lease payment at the beginning date
                of lease period. The bank lending rate for the same period is used as discount rate when calculating the present
                value of the lease payment.

                Right-of-use assets and lease liabilities are presented separately on the balance sheet of the Company. Lease
                liabilities are usually presented separately as non-current liabilities and non-current liabilities due within one year.

                In the income statement, the interest expenses of lease liabilities and depreciation expenses of right-of-use assets
                are separately presented. Interest expense of lease liabilities is presented under finance expenses.

                    Notes:             Since March 2019, the prices of various types of machine-made paper have been increasing. In June, we conducted an
                                       impairment test on finished products, and the net realisable value was higher than the cost, and there was no sign of
                                       impairment.

                                       On 25 March, the Company received the “Letter on Terminating the Construction of the BT Project for the Coastal and
                                       Beach Comprehensive Treatment Project of Haidong New District of Zhanjiang City” (Zhan Dai Jian Han [2019] No. 66)
                                       issued by the Zhanjiang City Construction Project Management Bureau. The letter required that all the pre-investment
                                       projects and project costs that have been invested at the early stage should be included in the development cost of the first
                                       zone, which obtained sea area use right certificate. Since the events that caused provision impairment of the developing
                                       products at the early stage disappeared, the impairment provision for inventories was reversed.

          Note: as the Company’s shareholding in the investee is low without significant influence, it is not practicable to adopt the income approach or
                the market approach for the valuation of the shareholding in the investee. Moreover, there was no recent introduction of external investor
                or equity transfer among the shareholders to serve as a reference for the determination of fair value, which may be classified as “limited
                circumstances” for the best estimate of fair value at cost. Thus, the fair value of other non-current financial assets was measured at cost at
                the end of the year.


     2.   Level 3 continuous measurement, adjustment between opening and closing value and sensitivity of
          unobservable inputs
          The Company adopts sensitivity analysis techniques to analyse the possible effects of rational and probable changes
          in risk variables to profit or loss for the period or to the interests of shareholders. Since risk variables seldom change on
          a stand-alone basis, while the correlation between variables may have significant influence to the ultimate amount of
          change effected by the change in a single risk variable, the analysis below is based on the assumption that the changes
          in each variable occurred separately.

                                                                             Change in                  For the year                                    For the prior year
                                                                    investment yield or                                    Impact on                                       Impact on
          Item                                                            discount rate     Impact on profit      shareholders’ equity       Impact on profit    shareholders’ equity


          Consumable biological assets                                Increases by 1%        -33,202,809.15            -33,202,809.15           -39,808,078.34          -39,808,078.34
          Consumable biological assets                               Decreases by 1%          36,397,424.88             36,397,424.88            43,368,412.26           43,368,412.26

          Note: In the prior period, the income method was used to evaluate the impact of the change in the discount rate on the fair value. In the current
                period, the harvest present value method is used to assess the impact of the change in investment yield on fair value.

      3.   Fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities not measured at fair value
           The Company’s financial assets and financial liabilities not measured at fair value mainly consist of: accounts receivable,
           short-term borrowings, accounts payable, long-term borrowings, bonds payable and long-term payables. The carrying
           amount of the above financial assets and financial liabilities deviates from the fair value by a small amount.

XII. Undertaking and contingency (Cont’d)
    2.   Contingency
         Contingent liabilities arising from pending litigation and its financial impacts

         In October 2005, the Company and Hong Kong ArjowigginsHKK2Limited (“HKK2”) jointly established Arjo Wiggins
         Chenming Specialty Paper Co., Ltd. in Shouguang, Shandong Province, which is engaged in the production of special
         paper, decoration paper and draft paper. However, such company experienced poor management due to financial
         crisis. Hence, such company was forced to dissolve in October 2008.

         In October 2012, HKK2 submitted for arbitration application to Hong Kong International Arbitration Centre, Hong Kong
         Special Administration of PRC, on the ground of default of the joint venture agreement by the Company. In November
         2015, Hong Kong International Arbitration Centre announced arbitration result, stating that the Company should
         compensate HKK2 with economic loss of RMB167 million, arbitration fee of HK$3.30 million and legal fee of USD3.54
         million, together with interest thereon calculated at 8% per annum. In October 2016, the Company received a statutory
         demand, stating that if the Company fails to perform the arbitration results within 21 days, the liquidation application
         on H shares of the Company will be submitted. Subsequently, HKK2 submitted H shares liquidation application to the
         arbitration centre.

         In November 2016, the Company submitted application to the Court of First Instance of the High Court of the HKSAR
         and received an injunction, stating that “the applicant is prohibited from applying for liquidation on the Company”.

         In February 2017, HKK2 submitted an appeal to the court. In June 2017, the court dismissed the injunction received by
         the Company. In the same month, the Company received the liquidation application submitted by the defendant to the
         High Court of Hong Kong, which alleged that the Company should compensate the defendant with economic loss of
         RMB167 million, legal fee of USD3.54 million and arbitration fee of HK$3.30 million, together with interest thereon due to
         failure in compliance of the arbitration results.

         In September 2017, the Company procured a deposit of HK$389 million to the High Court of Hong Kong, and appealed
         against the injunction to the court. In May 2018, the court session of the case commenced. At present, the injunction
         case is still in progress.

         In 2017, the Company made provision of RMB325,259,082.28 for the expected liability arising from this litigation.
         However, as at 30 June 2019, judgment of the court of Hong Kong is yet to be made, and the expected loss is uncertain.
         Hence, such expected liability is still stated under the balance sheet.


XIII. Post-balance sheet event
    The 2018 profit distribution plan was approved at the 2018 annual general meeting, based on the total ordinary share capital
    of 2,904,608,200 shares, a cash dividend of RMB2.4 (tax inclusive) per 10 shares was distributed to ordinary shareholders and
    the 1,162,790,698 simulated ordinary shares converted from the preference shares using a conversion ratio of 1 share valued
    at RMB3.87 as at the end of 2018; a cash dividend of RMB2.4 (tax inclusive) per 10 simulated ordinary shares converted from
    the preference shares was distributed to holders of preference shares. No bonus shares were issued and no capitalisation
    issue was made out of the reserves. A cash dividend of RMB697,105,968 was distributed to ordinary shareholders and a
    variable cash dividend of RMB279,069,767.52 was distributed to holders of preference shares. On 9 August, the above
    distribution plan was implemented.

    On 7 August 2019, Meilun (BVI) Limited, an overseas wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, issued a total of USD163
