SHANDONG CHENMING PAPER HOLDINGS LIMITED 9 INTERIM REPORT 2020 III Business Overview I. Principal activities of the Company during the Reporting Period (Cont’d) (II) Performance drivers (Cont’d) 3. Focus on principal activities to achieve perfect complementary pulp and paper production capacity The paper making industry is a large-scale industry with large inflows and outflows. Whoever controls the raw materials has the market initiative. 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 become the first domestic paper making enterprise to have fully complementary pulp and paper production capacity, and has absolute competitiveness in terms of cost. As environmental protection inspections by the National Development and Reform Commission and the Ministry of Environment become a long-term and common practice, and environmental protection production restriction policies are implemented based on classification and hierarchy, import quotas for waste paper continue to tighten. Against the backdrop of the waste paper import ban which will be implemented by the end of 2020, the forestry, pulp and paper integration strategy of the Company starts to work gradually. However, at present, the advantages of the Company’s self-produced pulp have not been fully utilised, and there is still much scope and potential for development. As the market price of wood pulp gradually rebounds, the core advantages of the Company’s pulp and paper balance will be further brought into play, and corporate efficiency will be greatly improved. 4. Strong research and development capabilities Since recent years, the Company had been closely following the economic and market conditions in China and in the industry. Driven by customers’ demand with a view to enhancing economic benefits, the Company continued to put more efforts into technical innovation and developed new technology-based products with more economic benefits. The Company was also committed to researching and developing for the purpose of product differentiation and refining. 5 R&D projects including the “technology development of highly stiff book and paper” and “technology development of coated paper for high temperature labels” were listed on the technological innovative project plans of Shandong Province. The Company also collaborated with Qilu University of Technology for industry-university innovation, and their organised and declared “Key Technology and Application of Green Preparation of High Performance Wood Chemical Pulp” was awarded the First Prize of Science and Technology Progress Award by the Ministry of Education. The new products and new achievements including the “high- end social cardboard” and the “baby base paper” were awarded three Excellent New Product and Outstanding Achievement Second Prizes in the 2019 Shandong Province Technological Innovation Award. Meanwhile, the Company strengthened the protection of intellectual property rights. In 2019, the Company applied for 19 patents and obtained 26 licences, which accelerated the restructuring of its product mix and facilitated the corporate restructuring and upgrade. 5. Strengthening social responsibility works and fulfilling environmental protection obligations As a leading paper making enterprise in China, the Company has the world’s most advanced paper making production lines. While ensuring production efficiency and product quality, the Company always adheres to the concept of “placing green development and environmental protection as the first” and regards environmental protection as a life project. As at the date of this report, the Company has invested more than RMB8,000 million in environmental protection projects. The Group has comprehensively implemented environmental protection governance, actively promoted clean production, vigorously implemented energy conservation and emission reduction, and embarked on the road of green, clean, and low-carbon development. At present, the Company adopts the world’s most advanced “ultrafiltration membrane+reverse osmosis membrane” technology to complete the reclaimed water recycling membrane treatment project. The reclaimed water recycle rate reaches more than 75%. The reclaimed water quality meets drinking water standards, which can save fresh water every day 170,000 cubic metres.

SHANDONG CHENMING PAPER HOLDINGS LIMITED 11 INTERIM REPORT 2020 III Business Overview 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 integrated conglomerate principally engaging in pulp production and paper making. It is also the first company in the paper making industry to own a financial company, as well as the only listed company in China with three types of shares in issue, namely A shares, B shares and H shares. Compared with other enterprises in the industry, the Company has the following advantages: 1. Advantages of pulp and paper integration The Company has basically enjoyed wood pulp self-sufficiency due to the completion of the pulp and paper integration layout. During the reporting period, the Company had 4,300,000-tonne wood pulp production capacity on its own. 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. 3. Product advantages The Company has implemented the “forestry, pulp and paper integration” strategy, introduced world-leading pulp and paper production technology, and set up the largest integrated forestry, pulp and paper project with the most advanced technology in the world. The Company is the enterprise that offers the widest product range in the paper making industry, and its five largest product series include high-end offset paper, white paper board, coated paper, light weight coated paper, household paper, electrostatic copy paper, thermal paper and glassine paper, with each major product ranking among the best in terms of market share. 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. 12 SHANDONG CHENMING PAPER HOLDINGS LIMITED INTERIM REPORT 2020 III Business Overview IV.

The Company has pioneered to obtain the ISO9001 quality certification, ISO14001 environmental protection certification and FSC-COC certification among its industry peers. 6. 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 production, sales, 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. 7. Advantages in environmental governance capacity In recent years, the Company and its subsidiaries have invested more than RMB8 billion to construct 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. At present, the Company adopts the world’s most advanced “ultrafiltration membrane+reverse osmosis membrane” technology to complete the reclaimed water recycling membrane treatment project. The reclaimed water recycle rate reaches more than 75%. The reclaimed water quality meets drinking water standards, which can save fresh water every day 170,000 cubic metres. SHANDONG CHENMING PAPER HOLDINGS LIMITED 13 INTERIM REPORT 2020 IV Discussion and Analysis of Operations I. Overview During the reporting period, the paper making industry was greatly affected by the epidemic. The overseas epidemic outbreak suppressed the overseas demand for paper products. In addition, the domestic demand for paper had been sluggish since the epidemic. The downward pressure on the prices of major paper types had increased. There was a significant decline in the economic benefit of the paper making industry as a whole. Wuhan Chenming and Huanggang Chenming, subsidiaries of the Company, were at the centre of the epidemic. Their suspension of production to fight against the epidemic affected the overall performance of the Company to a certain extent. However, other major production bases of the Company not only did their best to prevent and control the epidemic, but also achieved production at close to full capacity, gradually demonstrating the benefits of pulp and paper integration. Various operating indicators improved during the first half of the year as compared to the corresponding period of last year, including completing pulp production of 1.66 million tonnes and machine-made paper production of 2.75 million tonnes, representing a year-on-year increase of 59.70% and 27.90% respectively; achieving revenue of RMB13.6 billion, representing a year-on-year increase of 1.88%; and achieving net profit of RMB516 million, steadily increasing from the corresponding period of last year. In the second half of the year, with the epidemic further under control, the economy is expected to gradually regain its vitality, market demand will gradually rebound, and the prices of the Company’s major paper types will steadily rise. Coupled with the gradual recovery of wood pulp market prices, the core advantage of pulp and paper balance of the Company will be further brought into play. The performance of the Company will significantly improve with the recovery of the national economy and market conditions. II. Analysis of principal operations Please see “I.

Risk exposures of the Company and the measures to be taken 1. Macroeconomic risk Paper making industry is a basic raw materials industry, with particularly significant cyclicality, and its prosperity is positively correlated with macroeconomic trends. Since the first half of the year, the epidemic has affected the growth of the national economy, and weak consumer demand in the market has directly affected 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, making use of cost advantages to steadily address to the crises. 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 Sino-US trade war in recent years has also had effect on the exports of the Company to a certain extent. 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 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. For this purpose, the Company adheres to the development path of “forestry, pulp and paper integration”. With the operation commencement of the Huanggang Chenming and Shouguang Meilun chemical wood pulp projects, the Company currently has three pulp mills in Zhanjiang, Huanggang and Shouguang, the largest wood pulp production capacity in China. With production capacity of more than 4.3 million tonnes, it is the first integrated forestry, pulp and paper enterprise in China with self-sufficiency in wood pulp and perfect complementary pulp and paper production capacity. In the future, the gross profit rate of its products will increase significantly, and its anti-risk capability will also be effectively enhanced. SHANDONG CHENMING PAPER HOLDINGS LIMITED 21 INTERIM REPORT 2020 IV Discussion and Analysis of Operations X. Risk exposures of the Company and the measures to be taken (Cont’d) 4. 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. In recent years, the Company and its subsidiaries have invested more than RMB8 billion to construct 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. At present, the Company adopts the world’s most advanced “ultrafiltration membrane+reverse osmosis membrane” technology to complete the reclaimed water recycling membrane treatment project. The reclaimed water recycle rate reaches more than 75%. The reclaimed water quality meets drinking water standards, which can save fresh water every day 170,000 cubic metres. 5. 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. 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 control for its projects. Besides, its clients are mostly state-owned enterprises and government platforms, with strong risk resistance and low risk of default. In addition, the financial leasing company has been continuously reducing the scale of the financial leasing business in recent years, adhering to the policy of “continuous reduction”. 22 SHANDONG CHENMING PAPER HOLDINGS LIMITED INTERIM REPORT 2020 V Material Matters I.

Therefore, Jiangxi Chenming was fined RMB401,000. As of the date of the report, the above violation has been corrected and the fine has been paid. Zhanjiang Chenming Pulp & Subsidiary Excessive discharge Administrative penalty During an environmental protection Not applicable Not applicable Paper Co., Ltd. of water pollutants by the environmental inspection of Zhanjiang Chenming, protection department Zhanjiang Ecological Environment Bureau found that the rainwater discharge outlet of the rainwater channel in the Zhanjiang Chenming factory area had excessive discharge of water pollutants. Therefore, Zhanjiang Chenming was fined RMB1 million. As of the date of the report, the above violation has been corrected and the fine has been paid. 24 SHANDONG CHENMING PAPER HOLDINGS LIMITED INTERIM REPORT 2020 V Material Matters X. Punishment and rectification (Cont’d) Rectification √ Applicable Not applicable 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 designed to respond to changes in BTMP ingredient ratio and load. As a result, Jiangxi Chenming proved qualified on all indicators during 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 that the rectification for out-of-limit waste water (SS standard) of Jiangxi Chenming had been completed. After Zhanjiang Chenming discovered that water pollutants flowed outside its factory, it immediately suspended the cleaning of the reservoir and shut down the production system of the section where the green liquid tank was located. Meanwhile, emergency measures were initiated to prevent the continuous outflow of water pollutants within a very short time. The water pollutants trapped in the factory were recycled to the sewage treatment system and the rainwater gutter was thoroughly cleaned. After the implementation of the above measures, when the relevant department conducted a-sampling inspection again in the water area connected to the rainwater discharge outlet the next day, the relevant indicators met the national standards, and the rectification measures achieved good results.

The construction of projects strictly adheres to the “three simultaneities” on environmental protection. In order to ensure pollutants are discharged strictly in accordance with the requirements under laws and regulations and disposed properly, production and operation strictly comply 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) In recent years, the Company and its subsidiaries have invested more than RMB8 billion to construct 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. At present, the Company adopts the world’s most advanced “ultrafiltration membrane+reverse osmosis membrane” technology to complete the reclaimed water recycling membrane treatment project. The reclaimed water recycle rate reaches more than 75%. The reclaimed water quality meets drinking water standards, which can save fresh water every day 170,000 cubic metres. (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.

Significant Accounting Policies and Accounting Estimates (Cont’d) 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.

Accounting treatment of business combinations under common control and not under common control (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. 17 “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. 72 SHANDONG CHENMING PAPER HOLDINGS LIMITED INTERIM REPORT 2020 X Financial Report V. Significant Accounting Policies and Accounting Estimates (Cont’d) 6. Preparation of consolidated financial statements (1) Scope of consolidation 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. A subsidiary is an entity controlled by the Company (including an enterprise, a separable part of an investee, a structured entity, etc.). (2) Basis for preparation of the consolidated financial statements The consolidated financial statements are prepared by the Company based on the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries and other relevant information. In preparing the consolidated financial statements, the accounting policies and accounting periods of the Company and its subsidiaries shall be consistent, and intra-company significant transactions and balances are eliminated. A subsidiary and its business acquired through a business combination involving entities under common control during the reporting period shall be included in the scope of the consolidation of the Company from the date of being controlled by the ultimate controlling party, and its operating results and cash flows from the date of being controlled by the ultimate controlling party are included in the consolidated income statement and the consolidated cash flow statement, respectively. For a subsidiary and its business acquired through a business combination involving entities not under common control during the reporting period, its income, expenses and profits are included in the consolidated income statement, and cash flows are included in the consolidated cash flow statement from the acquisition date to the end of the reporting period. The shareholders’ equity of the subsidiaries that is not attributable to the Company is presented under shareholders’ equity in the consolidated balance sheet as minority interest. 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. (3) Accounting treatment for loss of control over subsidiaries 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 sun of the share of the carrying amount of net assets of the former subsidiary calculated continuously from the purchase date based on the shareholding percentage before disposal and the goodwill is recognised as investment income in the period when the control is lost. Other comprehensive income related to equity investment in the former subsidiary shall be transferred to current profit or loss at the time when the control is lost, except for other comprehensive income arising from changes in net assets or net liabilities due to remeasurement of defined benefit plan by the investee.

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. The joint arrangements of the Group comprise joint operations and joint ventures. (1) Joint operations Joint operations refer to a joint arrangement during which the Group is entitled to relevant assets and obligations of this arrangement. The Group recognises the following items in relation to its interest in a joint operation and accounts for them in accordance with the relevant ASBEs: A. the assets held solely by it and assets held jointly according to its share; B. the liabilities assumed solely by it and liabilities assumed jointly according to its share; C. the revenue from sale of output from joint operations; D. the revenue from sale of output from joint operations according to its share; E. the fees solely incurred by it and fees incurred from joint operations according to its share. (2) Joint ventures Joint ventures refer to a joint arrangement during which the Company only is entitled to net assets of this arrangement. The Group accounts for its investments in joint ventures in accordance with the requirements relating to accounting treatment using equity method for long-term equity investments. 8. Standards for recognising cash and cash equivalents Cash refers to cash on hand and deposits readily available for payment purpose. Cash equivalents refer to short-term and highly liquid investments held by the Group 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) Foreign currency operations The foreign currency operations of the Group 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. On the balance sheet date, foreign currency monetary items shall be translated at the spot exchange rate on the balance sheet date. The exchange difference arising from the difference between the spot exchange rate on the balance sheet date and the spot exchange rate upon initial recognition or the last balance sheet date will be recognised in profit or loss for the 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 recognised in profit or loss for the period. 74 SHANDONG CHENMING PAPER HOLDINGS LIMITED INTERIM REPORT 2020 X Financial Report V. Significant Accounting Policies and Accounting Estimates (Cont’d) 9. Foreign currency operations and translation of statements denominated in foreign currency (Cont’d) (2) Translation of financial statements denominated in foreign currency When translating the financial statements denominated in foreign currency of overseas subsidiaries, 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. All items in the cash flow statements shall be translated at the average exchange rate for the period in which the cash flow transaction occurred. Effects arising from changes of exchange rate on cash shall be presented separately as the “effect of foreign exchange rate changes on cash and cash equivalents” item in the cash flow statements. The differences arising from translation of financial statements shall be included in the “other comprehensive income” item in owners’ equity in the balance sheet. On disposal of foreign operations and loss of control, exchange differences arising from the translation of financial statements denominated in foreign currencies related to the disposed foreign 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. 10. Financial instruments A financial instrument is a contract that gives rise to a financial asset of one party and a financial liability or equity instrument of another party. (1) Recognition and derecognition of financial instruments Financial asset or financial liability will be recognised when the Group became one of the parties under a financial instrument contract. 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 has been transferred and meets the derecognition criteria for the transfer of financial asset as described below. A financial liability (or a part thereof) is derecognised only when the present obligation is discharged in full or in part. If an agreement is entered between the Group (debtor) and a creditor to replace the existing financial liabilities with new financial liabilities, and the contractual terms of the new financial liabilities are substantially different from those of the existing financial liabilities, the existing financial liabilities shall be derecognised and the new financial liabilities shall be recognised. Conventionally traded financial assets shall be recognised and derecognised at the trading date. SHANDONG CHENMING PAPER HOLDINGS LIMITED 75 INTERIM REPORT 2020 X Financial Report V. Significant Accounting Policies and Accounting Estimates (Cont’d) 10. Financial instruments (Cont’d) (2) Classification and measurement of financial assets The Group 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 measured at amortised cost A financial asset is measured at amortised cost if it meets both of the following conditions and is not designated at fair value through other comprehensive income: The Group’s business model for managing such financial assets is to collect contractual cash flows; The contractual terms of the financial asset stipulate that cash flows generated on specific dates are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding. Subsequent to initial recognition, such financial assets are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. A gain or loss on a financial asset that is measured at amortised cost and is not part of a hedging relationship shall be recognised in profit or loss for the current period when the financial asset is derecognised, amortised using the effective interest method or with impairment recognised. Financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income A financial asset is classified as measured at fair value through other comprehensive income if it meets both of the following conditions and is not designated at fair value through profit or loss: The Group’s business model for managing such financial assets is achieved both by collecting collect contractual cash flows and selling such financial assets; The contractual terms of the financial asset stipulate that cash flows generated on specific dates are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding. Subsequent to initial recognition, such financial assets are subsequently measured at fair value. Interest calculated using the effective interest method, impairment losses or gains and foreign exchange gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss for the current period, and other gains or losses are recognised in other comprehensive income. On derecognition, the cumulative gain or loss previously recognised in other comprehensive income is reclassified from other comprehensive income to profit or loss. 76 SHANDONG CHENMING PAPER HOLDINGS LIMITED INTERIM REPORT 2020 X Financial Report V. Significant Accounting Policies and Accounting Estimates (Cont’d) 10. Financial instruments (Cont’d) (2) Classification and measurement of financial assets (Cont’d) Financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss The Group classifies the financial assets other than those measured at amortised cost and measured at fair value through other comprehensive income as financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss. Upon initial recognition, the Group irrevocably designates certain financial assets that are required to be measured at amortised cost or at fair value through other comprehensive income as financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss in order to eliminate or significantly reduce accounting mismatch. Upon initial recognition, such financial assets are measured at fair value. Except for those held for hedging purposes, gains or losses (including interests and dividend income) arising from such financial assets are recognised in the profit or loss for the current period. The business model for managing financial assets refers to how the Group manages its financial assets in order to generate cash flows. That is, the Group’s business model determines whether cash flows will result from collecting contractual cash flows, selling financial assets or both. The Group determines the business model for managing financial assets on the basis of objective facts and specific business objectives for managing financial assets determined by key management personnel. The Group assesses the characteristics of the contractual cash flows of financial assets to determine whether the contractual cash flows generated by the relevant financial assets on a specific date are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding. The principal refers to the fair value of the financial assets at the initial recognition. Interest includes consideration for the time value of money, for the credit risk associated with the principal amount outstanding during a particular period of time and for other basic lending risks, costs and profits. In addition, the Group evaluates the contractual terms that may result in a change in the time distribution or amount of contractual cash flows from a financial asset to determine whether it meets the requirements of the above contractual cash flow characteristics. All affected financial assets are reclassified on the first day of the first reporting period following the change in the business model where the Group changes its business model for managing financial assets; otherwise, financial assets shall not be reclassified after initial recognition. Financial assets other than accounts receivable without a significant financing component 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 current period. For other categories of financial assets, relevant transaction costs are included in the amount initially recognised. Accounts receivable without significant financing component are initially recognised based on the transaction price expected to be entitled by the Group. SHANDONG CHENMING PAPER HOLDINGS LIMITED 77 INTERIM REPORT 2020 X Financial Report V. Significant Accounting Policies and Accounting Estimates (Cont’d) 10. Financial instruments (Cont’d) (3) Classification and measurement of financial liabilities At initial recognition, financial liabilities of the Group are classified as financial liabilities measured at fair value through profit or loss and financial liabilities measured at amortised cost. For financial liabilities not classified as measured at fair value through profit or loss, 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 and financial liabilities designated at fair value through profit or loss upon initial recognition. Such financial liabilities are subsequently measured at fair value, and the gains or losses from the change in fair value and the dividend or interest expenses related to the financial liabilities are included in the profit or loss of the current period. Financial liabilities measured at amortised cost Other financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method, and the gains or losses arising from derecognition or amortisation are recognised in profit or loss for the current period. Classification between financial liabilities and equity instruments A financial liability is a liability if: it has a contractual obligation to pay in cash or other financial assets to other parties. it has a contractual obligation to exchange financial assets or financial liabilities under potential adverse condition with other parties. it is a non-derivative instrument contract which will or may be settled with the entity’s own equity instruments, and the entity will deliver a variable number of its own equity instruments according to such contract. it is a derivative instrument contract which will or may be settled with the entity’s own equity instruments, except for a derivative instrument contract that exchanges a fixed amount of cash or other financial asset with a fixed number of its own equity instruments. Equity instruments are any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of an entity after deducting all of its liabilities. If the Group cannot unconditionally avoid the performance of a contractual obligation by paying cash or delivering other financial assets, the contractual obligation meets the definition of financial liabilities. Where a financial instrument must or may be settled with the Group’s own equity instruments, the Group’s own equity instruments used to settle such instrument should be considered as to whether it is as a substitute for cash or other financial assets or for the purpose of enabling the holder of the instrument to be entitled to the remaining interest in the assets of the issuer after deducting all of its liabilities. For the former, it is a financial liability of the Group; for the latter, it is the Group’s own equity instruments. 78 SHANDONG CHENMING PAPER HOLDINGS LIMITED INTERIM REPORT 2020 X Financial Report V. Significant Accounting Policies and Accounting Estimates (Cont’d) 10. Financial instruments (Cont’d) (4) Derivative financial instruments The Group’s derivative financial instruments are mainly forward foreign exchange contracts, which are initially recognised at fair value on the date a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently measured at their fair value. A derivative financial instrument is recognised as an asset when the fair value is positive and as a liability when the fair value is negative. Any gain or loss arising from changes in fair value and not complying with the accounting requirements on hedging shall be recognised in profit or loss for current period. (5) Fair value of financial instruments The methods for determining the fair value of the financial assets or financial liabilities are set out in Note V. 10. (6) Impairment of financial assets The Group makes provision for impairment based on expected credit losses (ECLs) on the following items: Financial assets measured at amortised cost; Debt investments measured at fair value through other comprehensive income; Measurement of ECLs ECLs are the weighted average of credit losses of financial instruments weighted by the risk of default. Credit losses refer to the difference between all contractual cash flows receivable according to the contract and discounted according to the original effective interest rate and all cash flows expected to be received, i.e. the present value of all cash shortages. The Group takes into account reasonable and well-founded information such as past events, current conditions and forecasts of future economic conditions, and calculates the probability-weighted amount of the present value of the difference between the cash flows receivable from the contract and the cash flows expected to be received weighted by the risk of default. The Group measures ECLs of financial instruments at different stages. If the credit risk of the financial instrument did not increase significantly upon initial recognition, it is at the first stage, and the Group makes provision for impairment based on the ECLs within the next 12 months; if the credit risk of a financial instrument increased significantly upon initial recognition but has not yet incurred credit impairment, it is at the second stage, and the Group makes provision for impairment based on the lifetime ECLs of the instrument; if the financial instrument incurred credit impairment upon initial recognition, it is at the third stage, and the Group makes provision for impairment based on the lifetime ECLs of the instrument. For financial instruments with low credit risk on the balance sheet date, the Group assumes that the credit risk did not increase significantly upon initial recognition, and makes provision for impairment based on the ECLs within the next 12 months.

The 12-month ECLs are the ECLs resulting from possible default events on a financial instrument within 12 months (or a shorter period if the expected life of the financial instrument is less than 12 months) after the balance sheet date, and is a portion of lifetime ECLs. The maximum period to be considered when estimating ECLs is the maximum contractual period over which the Group is exposed to credit risk, including renewal options. For the financial instruments at the first and second stages and with low credit risks, the Group calculates the interest income based on the book balance and the effective interest rate before deducting the impairment provisions. For financial instruments at the third stage, interest income is calculated based on the amortised cost after deducting impairment provisions made from the book balance and the effective interest rate. For bills receivable, accounts receivable and contract assets, regardless of whether there is a significant financing component, the Group always makes provision for impairment at an amount equal to lifetime ECLs. When the Group is unable to assess the information of ECLs for an individual financial asset at a reasonable cost, it classifies bills receivable and accounts receivable into portfolios based on the credit risk characteristics, and calculates the ECLs on a portfolio basis. The basis for determining the portfolios is as follows: A. Bills receivable Bills receivable portfolio 1: Bank acceptance bills Bills receivable portfolio 2: Commercial acceptance bills B. Accounts receivable Accounts receivable portfolio 1: Factoring receivables Accounts receivable portfolio 2: Receivables from non-related party customers Accounts receivable portfolio 3: Due from related party customers For bills receivable classified as a portfolio, the Group refers to the historical credit loss experience, combined with the current situation and the forecast of future economic conditions, to calculate the ECLs based on default risk exposure and lifetime ECL rate. For accounts receivable classified as a portfolio, the Group refers to the historical credit loss experience, combined with the current situation and the forecast of future economic conditions, to prepare a comparison table of the ageing/overdue days of accounts receivable and the lifetime ECL rate to calculate the ECLs. 80 SHANDONG CHENMING PAPER HOLDINGS LIMITED INTERIM REPORT 2020 X Financial Report V. Significant Accounting Policies and Accounting Estimates (Cont’d) 10. Financial instruments (Cont’d) (6) Impairment of financial assets (Cont’d) Other receivables The Group classifies other receivables into portfolios based on credit risk characteristics, and calculates the ECLs on a portfolio basis. The basis for determining the portfolios is as follows: Other receivables portfolio 1: Amount due from government authorities Other receivables portfolio 2: Amount due from related parties Other receivables portfolio 3: Other receivables For other receivables classified as a portfolio, the Group calculates the ECLs based on default risk exposure and the ECL rate over the next 12 months or the entire lifetime. Long-term receivables The Group’s long-term receivables include finance lease receivables and deposits receivable. The Group classifies the finance lease receivables, deposits receivable and other receivables into portfolios based on the credit risk characteristics, and calculates the ECLs on a portfolio basis. The basis for determining the portfolios is as follows: A. Finance lease receivables Finance lease receivables portfolio 1: Receivables not past due Finance lease receivables portfolio 2: Overdue receivables B. Other long-term receivables Other long-term receivables portfolio 1: Deposits receivable Other long-term receivables portfolio 2: Other receivables For deposits receivable and other receivables, the Group refers to the historical credit loss experience, combined with the current situation and the forecast of future economic conditions, and calculates the ECLs based on default risk exposure and lifetime ECL rate. Except for those of finance lease receivables and deposits receivable, the ECLs of other receivables and long-term receivables classified as a portfolio are measured based on default risk exposure and ECL rate over the next 12 months or the entire lifetime. Debt investments and other debt investments For debt investments and other debt investments, the Group measures the ECLs based on the nature of the investment, the types of counterparty and risk exposure, and default risk exposure and ECL rate within the next 12 months or the entire lifetime. SHANDONG CHENMING PAPER HOLDINGS LIMITED 81 INTERIM REPORT 2020 X Financial Report V. Significant Accounting Policies and Accounting Estimates (Cont’d) 10. Financial instruments (Cont’d) (6) Impairment of financial assets (Cont’d) Assessment of significant increase in credit risk In assessing whether the credit risk of a financial instrument has increased significantly upon initial recognition, the Group compares the risk of default of the financial instrument at the balance sheet date with that at the date of initial recognition to determine the relative change in risk of default within the expected lifetime of the financial instrument. In determining whether the credit risk has increased significantly upon initial recognition, the Group considers reasonable and well-founded information, including forward-looking information, which can be obtained without unnecessary extra costs or efforts. Information considered by the Group includes: The debtor’s failure to make payments of principal and interest on their contractually due dates; An actual or expected significant deterioration in a financial instrument’s external or internal credit rating (if any); An actual or expected significant deterioration in the operating results of the debtor; Existing or expected changes in the technological, market, economic or legal environment that have a significant adverse effect on the debtor’s ability to meet its obligation to the Group. Depending on the nature of the financial instruments, the Group assesses whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk on either an individual basis or a collective basis. When the assessment is performed on a collective basis, the financial instruments are grouped based on their common credit risk characteristics, such as past due information and credit risk ratings. The Group determines that the credit risk on a financial asset has increased significantly if it is more than 30 days past due. Credit-impaired financial assets At balance sheet date, the Group assesses whether financial assets measured at amortised cost and debt investments measured at fair value through other comprehensive income are credit-impaired. A financial asset is credit-impaired when one or more events that have an adverse effect on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset have occurred. Evidence that a financial asset is credit-impaired includes the following observable events: Significant financial difficulty of the issuer or debtor; A breach of contract by the debtor, such as a default or delinquency in interest or principal payments; For economic or contractual reasons relating to the debtor’s financial difficulty, the Group having granted to the debtor a concession that would not otherwise consider; It becoming probable that the debtor will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganisation; The disappearance of an active market for that financial asset because of financial difficulties of the issuer or debtor. 82 SHANDONG CHENMING PAPER HOLDINGS LIMITED INTERIM REPORT 2020 X Financial Report V. Significant Accounting Policies and Accounting Estimates (Cont’d) 10. Financial instruments (Cont’d) (6) Impairment of financial assets (Cont’d) Presentation of provisions for ECLs ECLs are remeasured at each balance sheet date to reflect changes in the financial instrument’s credit risk upon initial recognition. Any change in the ECL amount is recognised as an impairment gain or loss in profit or loss for the current period. For financial assets measured at amortised cost, the provisions of impairment is deducted from the carrying amount of the financial assets presented in the balance sheet; for debt investments at fair value through other comprehensive income, the Group makes provisions of impairment in other comprehensive income without reducing the carrying amount of the financial asset. Write-offs The book balance of a financial asset is directly written off to the extent that there is no realistic prospect of recovery of the contractual cash flows of the financial asset (either partially or in full). Such write-off constitutes derecognition of such financial asset. This is generally the case when the Group determines that the debtor does not have assets or sources of income that could generate sufficient cash flows to repay the amounts subject to the write-off. However, financial assets that are written off could still be subject to enforcement activities in order to comply with the Group’s procedures for recovery of amounts due. If a write-off of financial assets is later recovered, the recovery is credited to profit or loss in the period in which the recovery occurs. (7) Transfer of financial assets Transfer of financial assets refers to the transfer or delivery of financial assets to another party other than the issuer of such financial assets (the transferee). If the Group transfers substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset to the transferee, the financial asset shall be derecognised. If the Group retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of a financial asset, the financial asset shall not be derecognised. If the Group neither transfers nor retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset, it accounts for the transaction as follows: if the Group does not retain control, it derecognises the financial asset and recognises any resulting assets or liabilities; if the control over the financial asset is not waived, the relevant financial asset is recognised according to the extent of its continuing involvement in the transferred financial asset and the relevant liability is recognised accordingly. (8) Offset of financial assets and financial liabilities If the Group owns the legitimate rights of offsetting the recognised financial assets and financial liabilities, which are enforceable currently, and the Group plans to realise the financial assets or to clear off the financial liabilities on a net amount basis or simultaneously, the net amount of financial assets and financial liabilities shall be presented in the balance sheet upon offsetting. Otherwise, financial assets and financial liabilities are presented separately in the balance sheet without offsetting.

Bills receivable Method for determining the ECLs of bills receivable The Company measures the loss provisions for bills receivable in accordance with the ECLs 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 ECLs of accounts receivable For receivables and contract assets that do not contain significant financing components, the Company measures loss provisions based on the ECL 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 ECL 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. customers 84 SHANDONG CHENMING PAPER HOLDINGS LIMITED INTERIM REPORT 2020 X Financial Report V. Significant Accounting Policies and Accounting Estimates (Cont’d) 13. Other receivables Determination and accounting treatment of ECLs of other receivables The Company measures impairment losses using the ECL 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 of the Group mainly include raw materials, work in progress, goods in stock, development products and consumable biological assets, etc. (2) Pricing of inventories dispatched Inventories of the Group are measured at their actual cost when obtained. Cost of raw materials, goods in stock and others will be calculated with weighted average method when being dispatched. 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.

Inventories (Cont’d) (3) Recognition of net realisable value of inventories and provision for inventory impairment Net realisable value of inventories refers to the amount of the estimated price of inventories less the estimated cost incurred upon completion, estimated sales expenses and taxes and levies. 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, provision for inventory impairment is made when the cost is higher than the net realisable value. The Group usually make provision for inventory impairment based on categories of inventories. At the balance sheet date, in case the factors causing inventory impairment no longer exists, the original provision for inventory impairment shall be reversed. (4) Inventory stock taking system The Group implements permanent inventory system as its inventory stock taking system. (5) Amortisation of low-value consumables and packaging materials The low-value consumables of the Group are amortised when issued for use. Packaging materials for turnover are amortised when issued for use. 15. Held for sale and discontinued operations (1) Classification and measurement of non-current assets or disposal groups held for sale A non-current asset or disposal group is classified as held for sale if its carrying amount will be recovered principally through a sale transaction (including a non-monetary asset exchange with commercial substance) rather than through continuing use. The aforesaid non-current asset does not include the investment property subsequently measured at fair value, the biological assets measured at the net amount of the fair value deducting the sales expense, the assets generated from remuneration, financial assets, deferred income tax assets and rights from insurance contract. A disposal group is a group of assets to be disposed of together as a whole by sale or other means in a transaction, and liabilities directly associated with those assets that will be transferred in the transaction. In certain circumstances, the disposal group includes the goodwill acquired in the business combination. A non-current asset or a disposal group is classified as held for sale if it meets all of the following conditions: the non-current asset or disposal group is available for immediate sale in its present condition subject only to terms that are usual and customary for sales of such asset or disposal group; the sale is highly probable, i.e. a sale plan has been resolved and a firm purchase commitment has been obtained, and the sale is expected to be completed within one year. When the Group loses control of a subsidiary due to reasons such as disposal of investment in a subsidiary, regardless of whether the Group retains part of the equity investment after the disposal, when the investment in a subsidiary intended to be disposed of meets the conditions for classification as held for sale, the investment in a subsidiary is classified as held for sale as a whole in the separate financial statements, and all assets and liabilities of the subsidiary are classified as held for sale in the consolidated financial statements. 86 SHANDONG CHENMING PAPER HOLDINGS LIMITED INTERIM REPORT 2020 X Financial Report V. Significant Accounting Policies and Accounting Estimates (Cont’d) 15. Held for sale and discontinued operations (Cont’d) (1) Classification and measurement of non-current assets or disposal groups held for sale (Cont’d) When the non-current assets or disposal groups held for sale are initially measured or remeasured at the balance sheet date, the excess of the carrying amount over the net amount of the fair value less selling expenses is recognised as asset impairment loss. For the amount of impairment loss recognised on disposal groups held for sale, the carrying amount of the goodwill of the disposal group shall be offset against first, and then be offset against the carrying amount of non-current assets according to the proportion of the carrying amount of non-current assets. If the net amount of the fair value of the non-current assets or disposal groups held for sale less the selling expenses increases on the subsequent balance sheet date, the amount previously written down shall be recovered and reversed in the amount of asset impairment loss recognised after be classified as held for sale, and the reversed amount shall be included in the current profit and loss. The carrying amount of goodwill written off shall not be reversed. Non-current assets held for sale and assets in disposal group held for sale are not depreciated or amortised. Interest and other expenses of a disposal group classified as held for sale continue to be recognised. For all or part of an investment in an associate or a joint venture that is classified as held for sale, the part of being classified as held for sale shall cease to be accounted for using the equity method, while any retained portion (not classified as held for sale) shall continue to be accounted for using the equity method; The Group ceases to use the equity method from the date when the Group ceases to have significant influence over an associate or a joint venture. If a non-current asset or disposal group is classified as held for sale but subsequently no longer meets the criteria for being classified as held for sale, the Group shall cease to classify it as held for sale and measure it at the lower of: the carrying amount of the asset or disposal group before being classified as held for sale is adjusted by the depreciation, amortisation or impairment that would have been recognised if the asset or disposal group had not been classified as held for sale; recoverable amount. (2) Discontinued operations A discontinued operation is a component of the Group that either has been disposed of or is classified as held for sale, and can be distinguished separately, and meets one of the following conditions: The component represents a separate major line of business or geographical area of operations. The component is part of a related plan to dispose of a separate major line of business or geographical area of operations. The component is a subsidiary acquired exclusively with a view to resale. SHANDONG CHENMING PAPER HOLDINGS LIMITED 87 INTERIM REPORT 2020 X Financial Report V. Significant Accounting Policies and Accounting Estimates (Cont’d) 15. Held for sale and discontinued operations (Cont’d) (3) Presentation The Group presents the non-current assets held for sale or the assets in the disposal group held for sale as “assets held-for-sale” and the liabilities in the disposal group held for sale as “liabilities held-for-sale” in the balance sheet. The Group presents profit or loss from continuing operations and profit or loss from discontinued operations in the income statement. For non-current assets and disposal groups held for sale that do not meet the definition of discontinued operation, their impairment losses and reversal amounts and gains or losses are presented as profit or loss from continuing operations. Operating profit or loss such as impairment loss and reversal amount of discontinued operation and disposal gain or loss is presented as profit or loss from discontinued operation. Disposal groups that are intended to be closed for use rather than for sale and meet the conditions for the components in the definition of discontinued operations are presented as discontinued operations from the date of cessation of use. For the discontinued operations presented in the current period, the information originally presented as profit or loss from continuing operations in the current financial statements is re-presented as profit or loss from discontinued operations in the comparable accounting period. If the discontinued operations no longer meet the conditions for being classified of held-for-sale, the information originally presented as profit or loss from discontinued operations in the current financial statements shall be re-presented as profit or loss from continuing operations in the comparable accounting period. 16. Long-term receivables The Company measures the impairment loss of long-term receivables at an amount equal to the ECLs in the next 12 months or the lifetime ECLs, 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. 88 SHANDONG CHENMING PAPER HOLDINGS LIMITED INTERIM REPORT 2020 X Financial Report V. Significant Accounting Policies and Accounting Estimates (Cont’d) 17. Long-term equity investments Long-term equity investments include the equity investments in subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates. Associates of the Group are those investees that the Group imposes significant influence over. (1) Determination of initial investment cost Long-term equity investments acquired through business combinations: for a long-term equity investment acquired through a business combination involving enterprises under common control, the investment cost shall be the absorbing party’s share of the carrying amount of the owners’ equity under the consolidated financial statements of the ultimate controlling party on the date of combination. For a long-term equity investment acquired through a business combination involving enterprises not under common control, the investment cost of the long-term equity investment shall be the cost of combination. Long-term equity investments acquired through other means: for a long-term equity investment acquired by cash payment, the initial investment cost shall be the purchase cost actually paid; for a long-term equity investment acquired by issuing equity securities, the initial investment cost shall be the fair value of equity securities issued. (2) Subsequent measurement and method for profit or loss recognition Investments in subsidiaries shall be accounted for using the cost method. Except for the investments which meet the conditions of holding for sale, investments in associates and joint ventures shall be accounted for using the equity method. For a long-term equity investment accounted for using the cost method, the cash dividends or profits declared by the investees for distribution shall be recognised as investment gains and included in profit or loss for the current period, except the case of 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. For a long-term equity investment accounted for using the equity method, where the initial investment cost 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 investment cost of the long-term equity investment. 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, adjustment shall be made to the carrying amount of the long-term equity investment, and the difference shall be charged to profit or loss for the current period. 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 Group’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 (other capital reserves). The Group shall recognise its share of the investee’s net profits or losses based on the fair values of the investee’s individual separately identifiable assets at the time of acquisition, after making appropriate adjustments thereto according to the accounting policies and accounting periods of the Group. SHANDONG CHENMING PAPER HOLDINGS LIMITED 89 INTERIM REPORT 2020 X Financial Report V. Significant Accounting Policies and Accounting Estimates (Cont’d) 17. Long-term equity investments (Cont’d) (2) Subsequent measurement and method for profit or loss recognition (Cont’d) For additional equity investment made in order to obtain significant influence or common control over investee without resulted in control, the initial investment cost under the equity method shall be the aggregate of fair value of previously held equity investment and additional investment cost on the date of transfer. The difference between the fair value and carrying amount of previously held equity investment on the date of transfer and the accumulated change in fair value originally included in other comprehensive income shall be recognised in the profit or loss for the current period under the equity method. In the event of loss of common control or significant influence over investee due to partial disposal of equity investment, the remaining equity interest after disposal shall be accounted for according to the Accounting Standard for Business Enterprises No. 22 – Recognition and measurement of Financial Instruments. The difference between its fair value and carrying amount shall be included in profit or loss for the current period. In respect of other comprehensive income recognised under previous equity investment using equity method, it shall be accounted for in accordance with the same accounting treatment for direct disposal of relevant asset or liability by investee at the time when equity method was ceased to be used. Movement of other owners’ equity related to the previous equity investment shall be transferred to profit or loss for the current period. In the event of loss of control over investee due to partial disposal of equity investment, the remaining equity interest which can apply common control or impose significant influence over the investee after disposal shall be accounted for using equity method. Such remaining equity interest shall be treated as accounting for using equity method since it is obtained and adjustment was made accordingly. For the remaining equity interest which cannot apply common control or impose significant influence over the investee after disposal, it shall be accounted for using the Accounting Standard for Business Enterprises No. 22 – Recognition and measurement of Financial Instruments. The difference between its fair value and carrying amount as at the date of losing control shall be included in profit or loss for the current period. If the shareholding ratio of the Company is reduced due to the capital increase of other investors, and as a result, the Company loses the control of but still can apply common control or impose significant influence over the investee, the net asset increase due to the capital increase of the investee attributable to the Company shall be recognised according to the new shareholding ratio, and the difference with the original carrying amount of the long-term equity investment corresponding to the shareholding ratio reduction part that should be carried forward shall be recorded in the profit or loss for the current period; and then it shall be adjusted according to the new shareholding ratio as if equity method is used for accounting when acquiring the investment. In respect of the transactions between the Group and its associates and joint ventures, the share of unrealised gain or loss arising from internal transactions shall be eliminated by the portion attributable to the Group. Investment gain shall be recognised accordingly. However, any unrealised loss arising from internal transactions between the Group and an investee is not eliminated to the extent that the loss is impairment loss of the transferred assets. (In case of using accounting policy options, the following disclosure should be added: The Group’s long-term equity investments in associates and joint ventures, which are held indirectly by venture capital institutions, mutual funds, trust companies or similar entities including investment-linked insurance funds, are measured at fair value and their changes are included in the profit or loss.) 90 SHANDONG CHENMING PAPER HOLDINGS LIMITED INTERIM REPORT 2020 X Financial Report V. Significant Accounting Policies and Accounting Estimates (Cont’d) 17. Long-term equity investments (Cont’d) (3) Basis for determining the common control and significant influence on the investee Common control is the 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. When determining if there is any common control, it should first be identified if the arrangement is controlled by all the participants or the group consisting of the participants, and then determined if the decision on the arranged activity can be made only with the unanimous consent of the participants sharing the control. If all the participants or a group of participants can only decide the relevant activities of certain arrangement through concerted action, it can be considered that all the participants or a group of participants share common control on the arrangement. If there are two or more participant groups that can collectively control certain arrangement, it does not constitute common control. When determining if there is any common control, the relevant protection rights will not be taken into account. Significant influence is the power of the investor 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. When determining if there is any significant influence on the investee, the influence of the voting shares of the investee held by the investor directly and indirectly and the potential voting rights held by the investor and other parties which are exercisable in the current period and converted to the equity of the investee, including the warrants, stock options and convertible bonds that are issued by the investee and can be converted in the current period, shall be taken into account. When the Company holds directly or indirectly through the subsidiary 20% (inclusive) to 50% of the voting shares of the investee, it is generally considered to have significant influence on the investee, unless there is concrete evidence to prove that it cannot participate in the production and operation decision-making of the investee and cannot pose significant influence in this situation. When the Group owns less than 20% of the voting shares of the investee, it is generally considered that it has not significantly influenced on the investee, unless there is concrete evidence to prove that it can participate in the production and operation decision-making of the investee and cannot pose significant influence in this situation. (4) Method for impairment test and measurement of impairment provision For the method for making impairment provision for the investment in subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures, please refer to Note V. 25. 18. Investment property Measurement of investment property Measured by using the cost method Investment property refers to real estate held to earn rentals or for capital appreciation, or both. The investment property of the Group includes leased land use rights, land use rights held for sale after appreciation, and leased buildings. The investment property of the Group is measured initially at cost upon acquisition, and subject to depreciation or amortisation in the relevant periods according to the relevant provisions on fixed assets or intangible assets. For the method for making impairment provision for the investment property adopted cost method for subsequent measurement, please refer to Note V. 25. 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. SHANDONG CHENMING PAPER HOLDINGS LIMITED 91 INTERIM REPORT 2020 X Financial Report V. Significant Accounting Policies and Accounting Estimates (Cont’d) 19. Fixed assets (1) Conditions for recognition of fixed assets Fixed assets of the Group 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 of the Group shall be initially measured at actual cost when acquired. (2) Depreciation method of various types of fixed assets The Group adopts the straight-line method for depreciation. Provision for depreciation will be started when the fixed asset reaches its expected usable state, and stopped when the fixed asset is derecognised or classified as a non-current asset held for sale. Without regard to the depreciation provision, the Group determines the annual depreciation rate of various types of fixed assets by category, estimated useful lives and estimated residual value of the fixed assets, as shown below: Estimated Annual Useful lives residual value depreciation Category (Year) (%) rate (%) Housing and building structure 20-40 5-10 2.25-4.75 Machinery and equipment 8-20 5-10 4.50-11.88 Transportation equipment 5-8 5-10 11.25-19.00 Electronic equipment and others 5 5-10 18.00-19.00 Where, for the fixed assets for which depreciation provision is made, to determine the depreciation rate, the accumulated amount of the fixed asset depreciation provision that has been made shall be deducted. (3) The impairment test method and impairment provision method of the fixed assets are set out in Note V. 25. (4) The Group will recheck the useful lives, estimated net residual value and depreciation method of the fixed assets at the end of each year. When there is any difference between the useful lives estimate and the originally estimated value, the useful lives of the fixed asset shall be adjusted. When there is any difference between the estimated net residual value estimate and the originally estimated value, the estimated net residual value of the fixed asset shall be adjusted. (5) Overhaul expense For the overhaul expense incurred by the Group during the regular inspection on the fixed assets, if there is concrete evidence to prove that it meets the fixed asset recognition condition, it shall be included in the cost of fixed asset; if it does not meet the fixed asset recognition condition, it shall be included in the profit or loss for the current period. The depreciation of fixed assets shall be continued in the intervals of the regular overhaul of the fixed asset. 92 SHANDONG CHENMING PAPER HOLDINGS LIMITED INTERIM REPORT 2020 X Financial Report V. Significant Accounting Policies and Accounting Estimates (Cont’d) 20. Construction in progress Construction in progress of the Group is recognised based on the actual construction cost, including all necessary 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 impairment provision of construction in progress is set out in Note V. 25. 21. Borrowing costs (1) Recognition principle for the capitalisation of the borrowing costs The borrowing costs incurred by the Group directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset will be capitalised and included in the cost of relevant asset. Other borrowing costs will be recognised as expenses when incurred according to the incurred amount, and included in the profit or loss for the current period. When the borrowing costs meet all the following conditions, capitalisation shall be started: The capital expenditure has been incurred, which includes the expenditure incurred by paying cash, transferring non-cash assets or undertaking interest-bearing liabilities for acquiring, constructing or producing the qualifying assets; The borrowing costs have been incurred; The acquisition, construction or production activity necessary for the asset to be ready for its intended use or sale has been started. (2) Capitalisation period of borrowing costs When a qualifying asset acquired, constructed or produced by the Group is ready for its intended use or sale, the capitalisation of the borrowing costs shall discontinue. The borrowing costs incurred after a qualifying asset is ready for its intended use or sale shall be recognised as expenses when incurred according to the incurred amount, and included in the profit or loss for the current period. 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. The capitalisation of the borrowing costs shall be continued in the normal interruption period. (3) Calculation methods for capitalisation rate and capitalisation amount of the borrowing costs Where funds are borrowed for a specific purpose, the amount of interest to be capitalised shall be the actual interest expense incurred on that borrowing for the period less any bank interest earned from depositing the borrowed funds before being used into banks or any investment income on the temporary investment of those funds. Where funds are borrowed for general purpose, the 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.

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. 23. Right-of-use assets (1) Conditions for recognition of right-of-use assets Right-of-use assets of the Group are defined as the right of underlying assets in the lease term for the Group as a lessee. Right-of-use assets are initially measured at cost at the commencement date of the lease. The cost includes the amount of the initial measurement of lease liability; lease payments made at or before the inception of the lease less any lease incentives enjoyed; initial direct costs incurred by the Group as lessee; costs to be incurred in dismantling and removing the underlying assets, restoring the site on which it is located or restoring the underlying asset to the condition required by the terms and conditions of the lease incurred by the Group as lessee. As a lessee, the Group recognises and measures the costs of dismantling and restoration in accordance with the Accounting Standard for Business Enterprises No. 13 – Contingencies. Subsequently, the lease liability is adjusted for any remeasurement of the lease liability (2) Depreciation method of right-of-use assets The Group uses the straight-line method for depreciation. Where the Group, as a lessee, is reasonably certain to obtain ownership of the leased asset at the end of the lease term, such asset is depreciated over the remaining useful life of the leased asset. 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 (3) For the methods of impairment test and impairment provision of right-of-use assets, please refer to Note V. 25. 94 SHANDONG CHENMING PAPER HOLDINGS LIMITED INTERIM REPORT 2020 X Financial Report V. Significant Accounting Policies and Accounting Estimates (Cont’d) 24. Intangible assets The intangible assets of the Group include land use rights, software and certificates of third party right. The intangible asset is initially measured at cost, and its useful life is determined upon acquisition. If the useful life is finite, the intangible asset will be amortised over the estimated useful life using the amortisation method that can reflect the estimated realisation of the economic benefits related to the asset, starting from the time when it is available for use. If it is unable to reliably determine the estimated realisation, straight-line method shall be adopted for amortisation. The intangible assets with uncertain useful life will not be amortised. The amortisation methods for the intangible assets with finite useful life are as follows: Type Useful life Method of amortisation Land use rights 50-70 Straight-line method Software 5-10 Straight-line method Certificates of third party right 3 Straight-line method The Group reviews the useful life and amortisation method of the intangible assets with finite useful life at the end of each year. If it is different from the previous estimates, the original estimates will be adjusted, and will be treated as a change in accounting estimate. If it is estimated on the balance sheet date that certain intangible asset can no longer bring future economic benefit to the company, the carrying amount of the intangible asset will be entirely transferred into the profit or loss for the current period. The impairment method for the intangible assets is set out in Note V. 25. 25. Asset impairment Impairment of long-term equity investments in subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures, investment property, fixed assets, construction in progress, intangible assets, goodwill and others (excluding inventories, deferred tax assets and financial assets) subsequently measured at cost is determined as follows: The Group determines if there is any indication of asset impairment as at the balance sheet date. If there is any evidence indicating that an asset may be impaired, recoverable amount shall be estimated for impairment test. Goodwill arising from business combinations, intangible assets with an indefinite useful life and intangible assets not ready for use will be tested for impairment annually, regardless of whether there is any indication of impairment. 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. The Group estimates the recoverable amount of an individual asset. If it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of the individual asset, the Group shall determine the recoverable amount of the asset group to which the asset belongs. The determination of an asset group is based on whether major cash inflows generated by the asset group are independent of the cash inflows from other assets or asset groups. SHANDONG CHENMING PAPER HOLDINGS LIMITED 95 INTERIM REPORT 2020 X Financial Report V. Significant Accounting Policies and Accounting Estimates (Cont’d) 25. Asset impairment (Cont’d) When the recoverable amount of an asset or an asset group is less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount is reduced to its recoverable amount. The reduction amount is charged to profit or loss and an impairment provision is made accordingly. For the purpose of impairment test of goodwill, the carrying amount of goodwill acquired in a business combination is allocated to the relevant asset groups on a reasonable basis from the acquisition date; where it is difficult to allocate to the related asset groups, it is allocated to the combination of related asset groups. The related asset groups or combination of asset groups are those which can benefit from the synergies of the business combination and are not larger than the reportable segments identified by the Group. In the impairment test, if there is any indication that an asset group or a combination of asset groups related to goodwill may be impaired, the Group first tests the asset group or set of asset groups excluding goodwill for impairment, calculates the recoverable amount and recognises the corresponding impairment loss. An impairment test is then carried out on the asset group or combination of asset groups containing goodwill by comparing its carrying amount with its recoverable amount. If the recoverable amount is lower than the carrying amount, an impairment loss is recognised for goodwill. An impairment loss recognised shall not be reversed in a subsequent period. 26. Long-term prepaid expenses The long-term prepaid expenses incurred by the Group shall be recognised based on the actual cost, and evenly amortised over the estimated benefit period. For the long-term prepaid expense that cannot benefit the subsequent accounting periods, its value after amortisation shall be entirely included in the profit or loss for the current period. 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) Scope of employee benefits Employee benefits are all forms of considerations or compensation given by an entity in exchange for services rendered by employees or for the termination of employment. Employee benefits include short-term staff remuneration, post-employment benefits, termination benefits and other long-term employee benefits. Employee benefits include benefits provided to employees’ spouses, children, other dependants, survivors of the deceased employees or to other beneficiaries. Employee benefits are presented as “employee benefits payable” and “long-term employee benefits payable” in the balance sheet, respectively, according to liquidity. 96 SHANDONG CHENMING PAPER HOLDINGS LIMITED INTERIM REPORT 2020 X Financial Report V. Significant Accounting Policies and Accounting Estimates (Cont’d) 28. Employee benefits (Cont’d) (2) Short-term staff remuneration Employee wages or salaries actually incurred, bonuses, and social insurance contributions such as medical insurance, work injury insurance, maternity insurance, and housing fund, contributed at the applicable benchmarks and rates, are recognised as a liability as the employees provide services, with a corresponding charge to profit or loss or included in the cost of assets where appropriate. Where the payment of liability is expected not to be fully settled within 12 months after the end of the annual reporting period in which the employees render the related services, and the financial impact would be material, these liabilities are measured at their discounted values. (3) Post-employment benefits Post-employment benefit plans include defined contribution plans and defined benefit plans. A defined contribution plan is a post-employment benefit plan under which the Group pays fixed contributions into a separate fund and the Group has no further obligations for payment. A defined benefit plan is a post-employment benefit plan other than a defined contribution plan. Defined contribution plans Defined contribution plans include basic pension insurance and unemployment insurance. During the accounting period in which an employee provides service, the amount payable calculated according to the defined contribution plan is recognised as a liability and included in the profit or loss for the current period or the cost of relevant assets. (4) Termination benefits When the Group provides termination benefits to employees, employee benefits liabilities arising from termination benefits are recognised in profit or loss for the current period at the earlier of the following dates: when the Group cannot revoke unilaterally compensation for dismissal due to the cancellation of labour relationship plans and employee redundant proposals; the Group recognises cost and expenses related to payment of compensation for dismissal and restructuring. For the early retirement plans, economic compensations before the actual retirement date were classified as termination benefits. During the period from the date of cease of render of services to the actual retirement date, relevant wages and contribution to social insurance for the employees proposed to be paid are recognised in profit or loss on a one-off basis. Economic compensation after the official retirement date, such as normal pension, is accounted for as post-employment benefits. (5) Other long-term benefits Other long-term employee benefits provided by the Group to employees that meet the conditions for defined contribution plans are accounted for in accordance with the relevant provisions relating to defined contribution plans as stated above. If the conditions for defined benefit plans are met, the benefits shall accounted for in accordance with the relevant provisions relating to defined benefit plans, but the “changes arising from the remeasurement of the net liabilities or net assets of the defined benefit plans” in the relevant employee benefits shall be included in the current profit or loss or the relevant asset cost. SHANDONG CHENMING PAPER HOLDINGS LIMITED 97 INTERIM REPORT 2020 X Financial Report V. Significant Accounting Policies and Accounting Estimates (Cont’d) 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 Group; (2) it is likely that an outflow of economic benefits from the Group will be resulted from the performance of the obligation; and (3) the amount of the obligation can be reliably measured. The provisions shall be initially measured based on the best estimate for the expenditure required for the performance of the current obligation, after taking into account relevant risks, uncertainties, time value of money and other factors pertinent to the contingencies. If the time value of money has significant influence, the best estimates shall be determined after discounting the relevant future cash outflow. The Group reviews the carrying amount of the provisions on the balance sheet date and adjust the carrying amount to reflect the current best estimates. If all or some expenses incurred for settlement of recognised 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. Share-based payments (1) Category of share-based payment The Group’s share-based payment is equity-based. (2) Fair value of equity instrument For the existence of an active market for options and other equity instruments granted by the Group, the fair value is determined at the active market quotations. For options and other equity instruments with no active market, option pricing model shall be used to estimate the fair value of the equity instruments. The following factors shall be taken into account using option pricing models: A. the exercise price of the option, B. the validity of the option, C. the current market price of the share, D. the expected volatility of the share price, E. predicted dividend of the share, and F. risk-free rate of the option within the validity period. (3) Recognition of vesting of equity instrument based on the best estimate During the waiting period at each balance sheet date, the Group shall make the best available estimate of the number of equity instruments expected to vest and shall revise that estimate, if necessary, if subsequent information indicates that the number of equity instruments expected to vest differs from previous estimates. On the vesting date, the entity shall revise the estimate to equal the number of equity instruments that ultimately vested. 98 SHANDONG CHENMING PAPER HOLDINGS LIMITED INTERIM REPORT 2020 X Financial Report V. Significant Accounting Policies and Accounting Estimates (Cont’d) 30. Share-based payments (Cont’d) (4) Accounting treatment of implementation, modification and termination of share-based payment Equity-settled share-based payment is measured at the fair value of the equity instruments granted to employees. For the shares exercise immediately after the grant, the fair value of equity instrument at the grant date included in the relevant costs or expenses and increase in capital reserve accordingly. Within the vesting period, it will recognise the received service-related costs or expense and capital reserves for each reporting date based on the best estimate of the number of vested equity instruments on the grant date of the equity instruments value. After the vesting period, relevant costs or expenses and total shareholders’ equity has been confirmed and will not be adjusted. When there is changes in Group’s share-based payment plans, if the modification increases the fair value of the equity instruments granted, corresponding recognition of service increase in accordance with the increase in the fair value of the equity instruments; if the modification increases the number of equity instruments granted, the increase in fair value of the equity instruments is recognised as a corresponding increase in service achieved. Increase in the fair value of equity instruments refer to the difference between the fair values of the modified date. If the modification reduces the total fair value of shares paid or not conductive to the use of other employees share-based payment plans to modify the terms and conditions of service, it will continue to be accounted for in the accounting treatment, as if the change had not occurred, unless the Group cancelled some or all of the equity instruments granted. During the vesting period, if the cancelled equity instruments (except for failure to meet the conditions of the non-market vesting conditions, such as length of service performance conditions or market conditions are cancelled) granted by the Group to cancel the equity instruments granted amount treated as accelerated vesting of the remaining period should be recognised immediately in profit or loss, while recognizing the capital reserve. If employees or other parties can choose to meet non-vesting conditions but they are not met in the vesting period, the Group will treat them as cancelled equity instruments granted. 31. Preference shares, perpetual bonds and other financial instruments (1) Classification of financial liabilities and equity instruments Financial instruments issued by the Group are classified into financial assets, financial liabilities or equity instruments on the basis of the substance of the contractual arrangements and the economic nature not only its legal form, together with the definition of financial asset, financial liability and equity instruments on initial recognition. (2) Accounting treatment of preference shares, perpetual bonds and other financial instruments Financial instruments issued by the Group are initially recognised and measured in accordance with the financial instrument standards; thereafter, interest or dividends are accrued on each balance sheet date and accounted for in accordance with relevant specific ASBEs, i.e. to determine the accounting treatment for interest expenditure or dividend distribution of the instrument based on the classification of the financial instrument issued. For financial instruments classified as equity instruments, their interest expenses or dividend distributions are treated as profit distribution of the Group, and their repurchases and cancellations are treated as changes in equity; for financial instruments classified as financial liabilities, their interest expenses or dividend distribution are in principle accounted for with reference to borrowing costs, and the gains or losses arising from their repurchases or redemption are included in the profit or loss for the current period. For the transaction costs such as fees and commissions incurred by the Group for issuing financial instruments, if such financial instruments are classified as debt instruments and measured at amortised cost, they are included in the initial measured amount of the instruments issued; if such financial instruments are classified as equity instruments, they are deducted from equity. SHANDONG CHENMING PAPER HOLDINGS LIMITED INTERIM REPORT 2020 99 X Financial Report V. Significant Accounting Policies and Accounting Estimates (Cont’d) 32. Revenue (1) General principles The Group recognises revenue when it satisfies a performance obligation in the contract, i.e. when the customer obtains control of the relevant goods or services. Where a contract has two or more performance obligations, the Group allocates the transaction price to each performance obligation based on the percentage of respective unit price of goods or services guaranteed by each performance obligation, and recognises as revenue based on the transaction price that is allocated to each performance obligation. If one of the following conditions is fulfilled, the Group performs its performance obligation within a certain period; otherwise, it performs its performance obligation at a point of time: when the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits provided by the Group when the Group performs its obligations under the contract; when the customer is able to control the goods in progress in the course of performance by the Group under the contract; when the goods produced by the Group under the contract are irreplaceable and the Group has the right to payment for performance completed to date during the whole contract term. For performance obligations performed within a certain period, the Group recognises revenue by measuring the progress towards complete of that performance obligation within that certain period. When the progress of performance cannot be reasonably determined, if the costs incurred by the Group are expected to be compensated, the revenue shall be recognised at the amount of costs incurred until the progress of performance can be reasonably determined. For performance obligation performed at a point of time, the Group recognises revenue at the point of time at which the customer obtains control of relevant goods or services. To determine whether a customer has obtained control of goods or services, the Group considers the following indications: the Group has the current right to receive payment for the goods, which is when the customers have the current payment obligations for the goods; the Group has transferred the legal title of the goods to the customer, which is when the client possesses the legal title of the goods; the Group has transferred the physical possession of goods to the customer, which is when the customer obtains physical possession of the goods; the Group has transferred all of the substantial risks and rewards of ownership of the goods to the customer, which is when the customer obtain all of the substantial risks and rewards of ownership of the goods to the customer; the customer has accepted the goods; other information indicates that the customer has obtained control of the goods. 100 SHANDONG CHENMING PAPER HOLDINGS LIMITED INTERIM REPORT 2020 X Financial Report V. Significant Accounting Policies and Accounting Estimates (Cont’d) 32. Revenue (Cont’d) (1) General principles (Cont’d) The Group’s right to consideration in exchange for goods or services that the Group has transferred to customers (and such right depends on factors other than passage of time) is accounted for as contract assets, and contract assets are subject to impairment based on ECLs (see Note V. 25). The Group’s unconditional right to receive consideration from customers (only depends on passage of time) is accounted for as accounts receivable. The Group’s obligation to transfer goods or services to customers for which the Group has received or should receive consideration from customers is accounted for as contract liabilities. Contract assets and contract liabilities under the same contract are presented on a net basis. Where the net amount has a debit balance, it is presented in “contract assets” or “other non-current assets” according to its liquidity. Where the net amount has a credit balance, it is presented in “contract liabilities” or “other non-current liabilities” according to its liquidity. (2) Specific methods Specific method for revenue recognition of machine-made paper business of the Group: in terms of domestic sales of machine-made paper, revenue is recognised when goods are delivered to the customers and such deliveries are confirmed; while in terms of overseas sales of machine-made paper, revenue is recognised on the day when goods are loaded on board and declared. Specific method for recognition of finance lease income of the Group: according to the repayment schedule, the income is recognised by instalments according to the effective interest rate. Specific method for recognition of revenue from real estate of the Group: revenue is recognised by amortising the rental income on a straight-line basis over the lease term. 33. Government grants A government grant is recognised when there is reasonable assurance that the grant will be received and that the Group will comply with the conditions attaching to the grant. If a government grant is in the form of a transfer of a monetary asset, it is measured at the amount received or receivable. If a government grant is in the form of a transfer of non-monetary asset, it is measured at fair value; if the fair value cannot be obtained in a reliable way, it is measured at the nominal amount of RMB1. Government grants obtained for acquisition or construction of long-term assets or other forms of long-term asset formation are classified as government grants related to assets, while the remaining government grants are classified as government grants related to revenue. Regarding the government grant not clearly defined in the official documents and can form long-term assets, the part of government grant which can be referred to the value of the assets is classified as government grant related to assets and the remaining part is government grant related to revenue. For the government grant that is difficult to distinguish, the entire government grant is classified as government grant related to revenue. SHANDONG CHENMING PAPER HOLDINGS LIMITED 101 INTERIM REPORT 2020 X Financial Report V. Significant Accounting Policies and Accounting Estimates (Cont’d) 33. Government grants (Cont’d) A government grant related to an asset shall be recognised as deferred income, and evenly amortised to profit or loss over the useful life of the asset in a reasonable and systematic manner. For a government grant related to revenue, if the grant is a compensation for related costs, expenses or losses incurred, the grant shall be recognised in profit or loss for the current period; 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, expenses or losses are recognised. A government grant measured at nominal amount is directly included in profit or loss for the current period. The Group adopts a consistent approach to the same or similar government grants. A government grant related to daily activities is recognised in other gains 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. For the policy preferential interest subsidy, if it is provided by the financial authority through banks, it is recognised at the amount of borrowings actually received, and the borrowings costs are calculated based on the principal of the borrowings and the policy preferential interest rate; if it is provided by the financial authority directly, the corresponding interest will be used to offset the relevant borrowing expenses. 34. Deferred income tax assets and deferred income tax liabilities Income tax comprises current income tax expense and deferred income tax expense, which are included in profit or loss for the current period as income tax expenses, except for deferred tax related to transactions or events that are directly recognised in owners’ equity which are recognised in owners’ equity, and deferred tax arising from a business combination, which is adjusted against the carrying amount of goodwill. Temporary differences arising from the difference between the carrying amount of an asset or liability and its tax base at the balance sheet date of the Group shall be recognised as deferred income tax using the balance sheet liability method. All the taxable temporary differences are recognised as deferred income tax liabilities except for those incurred in the following transactions: (1) 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) when the transaction occurs; (2) The taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures, and the Group 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. 102 SHANDONG CHENMING PAPER HOLDINGS LIMITED INTERIM REPORT 2020 X Financial Report V. Significant Accounting Policies and Accounting Estimates (Cont’d) 34. Deferred income tax assets and deferred income tax liabilities (Cont’d) The Group recognises a deferred income tax asset for the carry forward of deductible temporary differences, 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 temporary differences, deductible losses and tax credits can be utilised, except for those incurred in the following transactions: (1) The transaction is neither a business combination nor affects accounting profit or taxable profit (or deductible loss) when the transaction occurs; (2) The deductible temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures, the corresponding deferred income tax asset is recognised when both of the following conditions are satisfied: it is probable that the temporary difference will reverse in the foreseeable future, and it is probable that taxable profits will be available in the future, against which the temporary difference 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, and their tax effect is reflected accordingly. At the balance sheet date, the Group reviews 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 tax asset to be utilised, the carrying amount of the deferred tax asset is reduced. Any such reduction in amount is reversed when it becomes probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available. 35. Lease (1) Identification of leases On the beginning date of the contract, the Group (as a lessee or lessor) assesses whether the customer in the contract has the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from use of the identified asset throughout the period of use and has the right to direct the use of the identified asset throughout the period of use. If a contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset and multiple identified assets for a period of time in exchange for consideration, the Group identifies such contract is, or contains, a lease (2) The Group as lessee On the beginning date of the lease, the Company recognises right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for all leases, except for short-term lease and low-value asset lease with simplified approach. The accounting policy for right-of-use assets is set out in Note V. 23. The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the beginning date of the lease using the interest rate implicit in the lease or the incremental borrowing rate. Lease payments include fixed payments and in-substance fixed payments, less any lease incentives receivable; variable lease payments that are based on an index or a rate; the exercise price of a purchase option if the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise that option; payments for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects the lessee exercising that option of terminating; and amounts expected to be payable by the lessee under residual value guarantees. Subsequently, the interest expense on the lease liability for each period during the lease term is calculated using a constant periodic rate of interest and is recognised in profit or loss for the current period. Variable lease payments not included in the measurement of lease liabilities are charged to profit or loss in the period in which they actually arise. The Group calculates the interest expense of the lease liability for each period of the lease term based on the fixed periodic interest rate and is included in the current profit and loss. The variable lease payments that are not included in the measurement of the lease liability are recognised in profit or loss when incurred. SHANDONG CHENMING PAPER HOLDINGS LIMITED 103 INTERIM REPORT 2020 X Financial Report V. Significant Accounting Policies and Accounting Estimates (Cont’d) 35. Lease (Cont’d) (2) The Group as lessee (Cont’d) Short-term lease Short-term leases refer to leases with a lease term of less than 12 months from the commencement date, except for those with a purchase option. Lease payments on short-term leases are recognised in the cost of related assets or current profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the lease term. For short-term leases, the Group chooses to adopt the above simplified approach for the following types of assets that meet the conditions of short-term lease according to the classification of leased assets. Low-valve machinery and equipment Transportation vehicles Low-value asset lease A low-value asset lease is a lease that the value of a single leased asset is below RMB2,000,000 when it is a new asset. For a low-value asset lease, the Group chooses the above simplified approach based on the specific circumstances of each lease. Lease payments on low-value asset leases are recognised on a straight-line basis over the lease term, and either included in the cost of the related asset or charged to profit or loss for the current period. (3) The Group as lessor When the Group is a lessor, a lease is classified as a finance lease whenever the terms of the lease transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of asset ownership to the lessee. All leases other than financial leases are classified as operating leases. Operating lease Lease payments under operating leases are recognised in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Initial direct costs incurred in relation to operating leases are capitalised and amortised over the lease term on the same basis as rental income and recognised in profit or loss for the current period. The variable lease payments obtained in relation to operating leases that are not included in the lease payments are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they actually incurred. 104 SHANDONG CHENMING PAPER HOLDINGS LIMITED INTERIM REPORT 2020 X Financial Report V. Significant Accounting Policies and Accounting Estimates (Cont’d) 35. Lease (Cont’d) (4) Sale and leaseback The lessee and the lessor shall assess and determine whether the transfer of assets in a sale and leaseback transaction is a sale in accordance with the requirements of the Accounting Standard for Business Enterprises No. 14 – Revenue. Where asset transfer under the sale and leaseback transactions is a sale, the lessee shall measure the right-of-use assets created by the sale and leaseback based on the portion of carrying amount of the original assets related to right of use obtained upon leaseback, and only recognise relevant profit or loss for the right transferred to the lessor. The lessor shall account for the purchase of assets in accordance with other applicable ASBEs and account for the lease of assets in accordance with this standard. Where asset transfer under the sale and leaseback transactions is not a sale, the lessee shall continue to recognise the transferred assets while recognising a financial liability equal to the transfer income and account for such liability according to the Accounting Standard for Business Enterprises No. 22 – Recognition and Measurement of Financial Instruments; or not to recognise the transferred assets but recognise a financial asset equal to the transfer income and account for such asset according to the Accounting Standard for Business Enterprises No. 22 – Recognition and Measurement of Financial Instruments. 36. General risk reserves General risk reserve is a reserve provided from net profit for the partial offset unidentified possible losses Adopting the principle of dynamic provisioning, the Finance Company employs the standard method to quantitatively analyse the risk situation faced by risk assets, to determine the estimated potential risk value. After calculating the potential risk value, if the potential risk value is higher than the provision for impairment of assets, the accrued provision for impairment of assets will be deducted and provision for general risk will be made. If the potential risk value is lower than the provision for impairment of assets, provision for general risk will not be made. Dynamic provisioning is a counter-cyclical provisioning method adopted by financial companies based on changes in the macroeconomic situation, as in, in the upward cycle of macro economy and when the risk asset default rate is relatively low, more provisions are made to enhance financial buffer capacity; and in the downturn cycle of macro economy and when the risk asset default rate is relatively high, the accumulated provisions are used to absorb asset losses. The Finance Company makes general risk provisions for assets bearing risks and losses at the end of each year, the balance of which, in principle, shall not be lower than 1.5% of the closing balance of risk assets. The risk provision made by factoring companies shall not be lower than 1% of the closing balance of the financial factoring business. Based on changes in the macroeconomic situation, and with reference to non-performing corporate loans, non-performing loan ratio, provision coverage ratio for non-performing loans, loan provision ratio, standard risk factor and the requirement of general risk provision as a percentage of risk assets, the Ministry of Finance makes adjustments to the scope of risk assets for general risk provisions, standard risk factor and the requirement of general risk provision as a percentage of risk assets as appropriate. The Finance Company shall make adjustments accordingly according to the requirements of the Ministry of Finance. Provisions for general risk are insufficient, in principle, the company shall not engage in after-tax profit distribution. As considered and approved by the board of directors and general meeting of the Finance Company, such provisions may be used to offset losses but not for dividends. For special reasons, as approved by the Board and the general meeting, general risk reserves may be reclassified into undistributed profits.

Critical accounting judgments and estimates The Group gives continuous assessment on, among other things, the reasonable expectations of future events and the critical accounting estimates and key assumptions adopted according to its historical experience and other factors. The critical accounting estimates and key assumptions that are likely to lead to significant adjustment risks of the carrying amount of assets and liabilities for the next financial year are listed as follows: Classification of financial assets Significant judgements involved in determining the classification of financial assets include the analysis of business models and contractual cash flow characteristics. Factors considered by the Group in determining the business model for a group of financial assets include how the asset’s performance is evaluated and reported to key management personnel, how risks are assessed and managed and how the relevant management personnel are compensated. When the Group assesses whether the contractual cash flows of the financial assets are consistent with basic lending arrangements, the main judgements are described as below: whether the principal amount may change over the life of the financial asset (for example, if there are repayments of principal); whether the interest includes only consideration for the time value of money, credit risk, other basic lending risks and a profit margin and cost. For example, whether the amount repaid in advance reflects only the outstanding principal and interest thereon, as well as reasonable compensation paid for early termination of the contract. Measurement of the ECLs of accounts receivable The Group calculates the ECLs of accounts receivable using the exposure to default risk and ECL rate of accounts receivable, and determines the ECL rate based on default probability and default loss rate. When determining the ECL rate, the Group adjusts its historical data by referring to information such as historical credit loss experience as well as current situation and forward-looking information. When considering the forward-looking information, indicators used by the Group include the risk of economic downturn, external market environment, technology environment and changes in customers. The assumptions relating to the ECL calculation are monitored and reviewed by the Group on a regularly basis Deferred income tax assets Deferred income tax assets are recognised for all unused tax losses to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the losses can be utilised. Significant management judgement is required to determine the amount of deferred income tax assets that can be recognised, based upon the likely timing and level of future taxable profits together with future tax planning strategies. 106 SHANDONG CHENMING PAPER HOLDINGS LIMITED INTERIM REPORT 2020 X Financial Report VI.

Risk relating to financial instruments (Cont’d) 1. Risk management goals and policies (Cont’d) (3) Market risk Market risk includes interest rate risk and currency risk, refers to the risk that the fair value or future cash flow of a financial instrument will be fluctuated due to the changes in market price. Interest risk Interest rate risk refers to the risk that the fair value or future cash flow of a financial instrument will be fluctuated due to the floating rate. Interest rate risk arises from recognised interest-bearing financial instrument and unrecognised financial instrument (e.g. loan commitments). The Group’s interest rate risk arises from long-term interest-bearing liabilities including long-term borrowing and bonds payable. Financial liabilities issued at floating rate expose the Group to cash flow interest rate risk. Financial liabilities issued at fixed rate expose the Group to fair value interest rate risk. The Group determines the relative proportions of its fixed rate and floating rate contracts depending on the prevailing market conditions and to maintain an appropriate combination of financial instruments at fixed rate and floating rate through regular reviews and monitors. The Group’s finance department continuously monitors the interest rate position of the Group. The Group did not enter into any interest rate hedging arrangements. But the management is responsible to monitor the risks of interest rate and consider to hedge significant interest risk if necessary. Increase in interest rates will increase the cost of new borrowing and the interest expenses with respect to the Group’s outstanding floating rate interest-bearing borrowings, and therefore could have a material adverse effect on the Group’s financial result. The management will make adjustments with reference to the latest market conditions. These adjustments may include enter into interest swap agreement to mitigate its exposure to the interest rate risk. Interest bearing financial instrument held by the Group are as follows (in ten thousand RMB): Balance for Balance for Item the period the prior year Financial instrument with fixed interest rate Financial liabilities Of which: Short-term borrowings 3,855,431.12 3,688,315.60 Long-term borrowings 1,163,772.48 914,033.97 Bonds payable 162,813.42 125,827.09 Total 5,182,017.03 4,728,176.66 Financial instrument with float interest rate Financial assets Of which: Monetary funds 221,115.73 288,790.99 Total 221,115.73 288,790.99 The financial instruments held by the Group at the reporting date expose the Group to fair value interest rate risk. This sensitivity analysis as above has been determined assuming that the change in interest rates had occurred at the reporting date and arisen from the recalculation of the above financial instrument issued at new interest rates. The non-derivative tools issued at floating interest rate held by the Group at the reporting date expose the Group to cash flow interest rate risk. The effect to the net profit and shareholder’s equity illustrated in the sensitivity analysis as above is arisen from the effect to the annual estimate amount of interest expenses or revenue at the floating interest rate. The analysis is performed on the same basis for prior year. 166 SHANDONG CHENMING PAPER HOLDINGS LIMITED INTERIM REPORT 2020 X Financial Report X. Risk relating to financial instruments (Cont’d) 1.

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 2020, 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.
