No. (I) Market Environment In the first half of 2020, the sudden outbreak of COVID-19 and the complex external economic environment brought various uncertainties and challenges to the Company’s business divisions. Sinarmas Paper (China) Investment Co., Ltd. (hereinafter, 3 Foshan Huaxin Packaging Co., Ltd. Interim Report 2020 (Summary) “Sinamas Paper”) passed the anti-trust review unconditionally on its acquisition of 100% of Shandong Bohui Group Co., Ltd. (hereinafter, “Bohui Group”), marking substantial progress on the acquisition. The ivory board industry sees faster integration, more concentration, improving trends and expectedly higher market prices. The increasingly strict policies of environmental protection and plastic bag restriction across the world provide a boost to demand for ivory board. However, the spreading of the pandemic overseas has produced a great impact on ivory board exports both directly and indirectly. But market demand for color printing, which goes with the ivory board industry, is in gradual recovery as the pandemic is under control domestically. (II) Operating Results of the Reporting Period In the first half of 2020, the Company followed the leadership of the governing party, promoted deep integration of party committee building and business operations, promoted high-quality development through high-quality party committee building, gave play to the “controlling directions, managing the overall situation and ensuring implementation” roles of the party committee and the role of party organizations of all levels as fighting bastions, proactively responded to the uncertainties and challenges brought by the pandemic, and ensured stable production and operation. Meanwhile, it actively expanded external markets, deepened organizational reform, increased investment in R&D and innovation, improved internal management and strengthened risk control. As a result, the Company achieved significant improvement in internal management and a significant year-on-year improvement in operating performance. For the Reporting Period, the Company recorded operating revenue of RMB1,849,582,374.70, a gross profit of RMB93,959,067.49, and a net profit attributable to the listed company’s shareholders of RMB47,569,827.49. As at the end of the Reporting Period, the total assets of the Company amounted to RMB5,817,684,697.84, with a debt/asset ratio of 37.81%. (III) Management Measures in the Reporting Period 1. Persisting in the guidance of Party building and strengthening the integration of Party building and operation In the first half year of 2020, the Company persisted in the guidelines of Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era, and conscientiously implemented the decisions and arrangements of the Party Central Committee. With “three integrations with internationalization” and “double integrations” as the focus, the Company integrated Party building with production, operation, corporate culture, team building, and the work of different societies and associations, and gave full play to the role of its Party committee in “controlling directions, managing the overall situation and ensuring implementation”. During the epidemic, the Company conducted the education themed “Enforcing Strict Discipline over the Party and Strengthening the Awareness for Political Responsibilities”, so as to convert the unique political advantages of the Party into strengths in fighting against the epidemic, resuming work and production, and managing production and operation, promote production and operation towards continuous improvements, and achieve growth in all business segments in all respects. 2. Reinforcing the internal mechanism reform and enhancing operation efficiency In the first half of 2020, the Company continued to improve its organizational structure and at the same time stepped up effort in the recruitment of marketized mature talents, and introduced professionals to inject new impetus into the Company for its development. Furthermore, the Company promoted the new appraisal model focusing on the maximization of “efficiency and profits” to boost the morale of employees. It carried out a reform on its existing remuneration system based on the principle of linking performance with salary, which “values performance, rewards the diligent, punishes the lazy, encourages creation, and increases profits”. The Company established promotion channels comprising five hierarchies to conduct annual comprehensive review of technical, skilled and 4 Foshan Huaxin Packaging Co., Ltd. Interim Report 2020 (Summary) management talents at each hierarchy in a specific proportion, thus satisfying the development needs of both itself and its employees, improving the core competitiveness of both, and guiding employees to focus on improving their skills and abilities. 3. Increasing spending on R&D and innovation and improving the incentive mechanism In 2020, the Company continued to improve R&D spending and pursued “differentiation” in the increasingly homogeneous market. Its newly founded New Material Development and Industrial Technology Research Institute integrates paper manufacturing, chemical engineering, printing and packaging technologies of the paper-making industrial chain, extends research into the “new materials+” in emerging industries, and engages in the R&D of new products, new processes, new technologies and new raw and auxiliary materials in businesses. In addition, the Research Institute undertakes the product R&D and technical services to external companies in paper manufacturing and chemical industry, and engages in the scientific research projects on new materials in national and provincial strategic emerging industries. New Material Development and Industrial Technology Research Institute has set up a flexible and market-oriented new incentive mechanism to inspire the technological innovation ability of scientific and technological personnel, and fully exert and mobilize their creativity and activity. 4. Advancing the marketing system reform and promoting synergy in the internal management system The Company has established a market-oriented system in its marketing department to optimize “value marketing”. It appraises sales performance by measuring the growth of sales volume, forming a competitive remuneration and incentive mechanism. Moreover, based on its product characteristics and the market status quo, the Company has continued to improve its marketing structure towards better allocation and use of marketing resources. It has made improvement to various supply chain links to enhance its overall business capacity. 2.
