NOTES:
1. BASIS OF PREPARATION OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The financial statements are prepared in accordance with Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises – Basic Standards issued by the Ministry of Finance and specific accounting standards, implementation guidance, interpretations and other relevant provisions issued and amended subsequently (collectively referred to as “ Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises ”).
The financial statements are presented on a going concern basis. The consolidation scope of consolidated financial statements was determined on the basis of control.
Except for certain financial instruments and investment properties, the financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention. The prices of disposal groups held for sale shall be the lower of the book value and the net amount of fair value less disposal expenses. If the assets are impaired, corresponding provisions for impairment shall be made according to relevant provisions.
2. MAJOR ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES FOR BUSINESS ENTERPRISES
The specific accounting policies and accounting estimates have been formulated by the Group based on actual production and operation characteristics, as mainly embodied in the provision for bad debt of accounts receivable, inventory valuation method, the useful lives and residual values of fixed assets, classification between investment properties and inventories, classification between investment properties and fixed assets, the recognition and allocation of development costs on properties under construction.
Accounting policies applicable from 1 January 2018
In 2017, the Ministry of Finance announced the revised “Accounting Standard for Business Enterprises No.14 – Revenue” (the “New Revenue Standard”), “Accounting Standard for Business Enterprises No.22 – Recognition and measurement for financial instruments, “Accounting Standard for Business Enterprises No.23 – Transfer of financial assets”, “Accounting Standard for Business Enterprises No.24 – Hedging” and “Accounting Standard for Business Enterprises No.37 – Presentation of financial instruments” (the “New Financial Instruments Standard”). The Group began to implement the accounting treatment according to the newly revised standards above from 1 January 2018. According to the transitional requirements, the information for the comparable period will not be adjusted and profit or other comprehensive income will be retrospectively adjusted based on the difference between the implementation of the new standards on the first day and the current standards.
- 10 -
The New Revenue Standard
The New Revenue Standard establishes a new model for recognizing the revenue generated from contracts with customers. The amount of revenue recognized should reflect the mode in which the entity transfers goods or services to customers. The amount of revenue should reflect the amount that the entity is expected to receive due to the transfer of such goods and services to the customer. At the same time, the New Revenue Standard also regulates the judgments and estimates for matters such as cost of contract, performance obligation, variable consideration, as well as principal-versus-agent. The Group only adjusted the cumulative impact of contracts that have not been completed on 1 January 2018. For changes to contracts that occurred before 1 January 2018, the Group adopted a simplified treatment method that it identifies the performance obligations that have been and have not been fulfilled, determines the transaction price, and allocated the transaction price between fulfilled and outstanding performance obligations for all contracts based on the final arrangement of contract changes.
Based on the review made for the performed sales contract as at 31 December 2017, the Group is of the opinion that the practicable expedience approach has no significant impact on the financial statements of the company. It is because the revenue recognised upon the transfer of risks and rewards is synchronized with the performance of the obligations in sales contract and a sale contract of the Group generally involves only one performance obligation.
The impact of implementing the New Revenue Standard by the Group is as follows:
For contracts with the time interval between payments from customers and ownership transfer of promised goods or services more than a year, the transaction prices of the contracts are adjusted due to the impact on inclusion of significant financing component.
Where the incremental costs incurred from obtaining contracts are expected to be recoverable, they will be capitalised as the costs of contracts, and amortised upon recognition of the income from relevant contracts. However, for contracts with the amortisation term of assets not more than a year, the incremental costs could be included in the profit or loss for the current period when they are incurred. Incremental costs mean the costs (such as sales commission) that will not be incurred if an enterprise fails to obtain a contract.
For contracts with variable considerations, the enterprises shall, based on the expected values or the most likely amounts, determine the best estimate of the variable considerations. However, the transaction prices that include the variable considerations shall not exceed the amounts that are most unlikely to have significant reversal for accumulated recognised income when the relevant uncertainties are eliminated. In assessing whether it is most unlikely to have the significant reversal for the accumulated recognised income, the enterprises shall consider the possibility and its proportion of income reversal at the same time.

The New Revenue Standard had no material impact on the Company’s financial statements on the date of initial adoption and for the year 2018.
The New Financial Instruments Standard
The New Financial Instruments Standard changes the classification and measurement of financial assets and defines three categories for measurement: financial assets are measured at amortized cost; measured at fair value through other comprehensive income; measured at fair value through profit or loss of the current period. The above classification shall be made by the entity based on its consideration of its business model and the characteristics of contractual cash flows relating to the financial assets. Equity investments shall be measured at fair value through profit or loss of the current period. However, at initial recognition, the Company can elect to measure equity investments at fair value through other comprehensive income and the election is irrevocable (under this election, only dividends are recognized in profit or loss, and gains or losses on disposal are not transferred to profit and loss).
The New Financial Instruments Standard requires “expected credit loss” model for recognition and measurement of impairments in financial assets instead of “objective evidence of impairment” model. Expected credit loss model is applied in financial assets measured at amortized cost or fair value through other comprehensive income, loan commitments and financial guarantee contracts.
On the day of initial adoption, the comparison of financial assets that are classified and measured in accordance with the recognition and measurement standards for financial instruments before and after amendments is as follows:

The financial statements are prepared in accordance with the requirements of Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises and present fairly and fully the financial position of the Company and the Group as at 31 December 2018 and their financial performance and cash flows for 2018.
4. OPERATING SEGMENT INFORMATION
For management purposes, the Group is organised into business units based on their products and services and has four reportable operating segments as follows:
-
(a) the cement and ready-mixed concrete segment engages in the manufacture and sale of cement and concrete;
-
(b) the modern building materials and commerce and logistics segment engages in the manufacture, sale, commerce and logistics of building materials and furniture;
-
(c) the property development segment engages in property development and sales;
-
(d) the property investment and management segment invests in properties for their potential rental income and/or for capital appreciation, and provides management and security services to residential and commercial properties.
The management monitors the operating results of its business units separately for the purpose of making decisions about resource allocation and performance assessment. Segment results are evaluated based on the segment profits reported. It represents the indicator after adjustments have been made to total profit, and other than the exclusion of overheads attributable to the headquarters, the indicator is consistent with the Group’s total profit.
Segment assets and segment liabilities exclude unallocated assets and liabilities of the headquarters as these assets and liabilities are under the unified management of the Group.
Pricing for transfer between operating segments is agreed upon by both parties of transactions with reference to the fair price quoted from transactions with third parties.

In respect of the property development segment , the Company will further improve its abilities in policy research and prediction and in seizing opportunities, and will demonstrate strong capability, high efficiency, and high profitability in project development and project operation. In addition to improving our market-oriented operation capabilities, we must integrate our resources in line with the local policies of the areas where the Group operates to achieve coordinated and synergetic development of the segment.

(II) Description of major industries
1. Cement Industry
In 2018, fixed-asset investments in the PRC (excluding agricultural households) reached RMB63,563.6 billion, representing a year-on-year growth of 5.9%, and a drop of 1.3 percentage points in growth rate compared with 2017. Among these investments, investment in infrastructure (excluding electricity, heat, gas and water production and supply) increased by 3.8%, representing a significantly lower growth rate, while investment in real estate hovered at 9.5%. On the other hand, driven by associations and large enterprises, the effects of industry self-discipline improved significantly, contracting supply contracted and driving low inventory in most regions, thereby easing the imbalance between supply and demand. According to the 2018 Statistical Communique on the National Economic and Social Development of the People’s Republic of China published by the National Bureau of Statistics, the national cement production was 2.21 billion tonnes, representing a year-on-year decrease of 5.3%. In respect of price, cement prices remained at a high level throughout 2018. In the first three quarters, the overall price was stable at high levels, mostly between RMB400-430/tonne. In the fourth quarter, the price began to take off, with the national average price reaching RMB464/tonne in December.

2. Investment properties measured at fair value
The Group uses the fair value model for subsequent measurement of its investment properties. Fair value changes are included in “Gains from changes in fair value” in the income statement. Reasons for the adoption of the fair value model as the accounting policy for subsequent measurement by the Group are as follows:
(1) The investment properties are located in places where the property markets are active.
The Group’s current investment properties, most of which are commercial properties at developed commercial districts, are primarily located at core districts such as Beijing and Tianjin where the property markets are relatively active. The Group is able to obtain market price and other related information of properties of the same category or similar nature. It is practicable for the Group to adopt the fair value model for subsequent measurement of the investment properties.
(2) The Group is able to obtain market price and other related information of properties of the same category or similar nature from the property markets, by which the Group makes a reasonable estimation of the fair value of its investment properties.
The Group has engaged a valuer with relevant qualifications to make valuation on the fair value of the investment properties of the Group using the income method and with reference to the prices in the open market. The result of such valuation is used as the fair value of the investment properties of the Group.
Key assumptions and major uncertain factors adopted by the Group for the estimation of the fair value of the investment properties of the Group mainly include: assuming the investment properties are traded in the open market and will continue to be used for their existing purposes; there will be no significant changes in the macro-economic policies of the PRC and the social and economic environment, tax policies, credit interest rates and foreign exchange rates in the places where the investment properties are located; and there is no other force majeure and unforeseeable factor that may have a material impact on the Group’s operation.
- 52 -
During the Reporting Period, the gains arising from changes in fair value of investment properties of the Group decreased by approximately RMB5.0 million year-on-year to RMB508.9 million, accounting for 7.9% of the profits before tax. The fair value gains on investment properties during the Reporting Period were mainly due to an upward revision to the fair value of the investment properties of the Group by the valuer given the overall surge in rental of commercial properties in the open market in Beijing during the Reporting Period.
3. Expenses during the Reporting Period
-
(1) Selling expenses were RMB2,915.7 million, an increase of RMB308.4 million or 11.8% year-on-year. Such increase was mainly due to the year-on-year increase in employee remuneration, transportation expenses, and agency intermediary fee during the Reporting Period.
-
(2) Administrative expenses were RMB7,155.5 million, an increase of RMB1,009.4 million or 16.4% year-on-year. Such increase was mainly due to the year-on-year increase of maintenance expenses, employee remuneration, intermediary service fee, and losses from suspension of production during the Reporting Period.
-
(3) Finance costs were RMB3,047.5 million, an increase of RMB371.9 million or 13.9% yearon-year. Such increase was mainly due to the increase in the size of financing during the Reporting Period.
4. Cash flows
During the Reporting Period, a net increase of RMB606.0 million in cash and cash equivalents was recognized in consolidated financial statements of the Company. Such increase was the net result of (i) the net cash outflow generated from operating activities of RMB5,042.6 million, representing the year-on-year decrease in outflow of RMB6,811.9 million year-on-year, which was attributable to the year-on-year decrease in the expenditures on land reserve of property development segment of the Company; (ii) the net cash outflow generated from investment activities of RMB8,383.9 million, representing an increase in outflow of RMB7,684.3 million year-on-year, which was mainly attributable to the acquisition of Tianjin Building Materials Group (Holding) Co., Ltd. (“ Tianjin Building Materials ”) during the Reporting Period; (iii) the net cash inflow generated from financing activities of RMB14,079.9 million, an increase in inflow of RMB6,751.9 million year-on-year, while the increase in the net cash flow was mainly attributable to the increase in the size of financing during the Reporting Period; and (iv) the exchange realignment of RMB47.4 million.

4 Competitive Edge in Industry-Finance Integration:
The capital market is facing many uncertainties due to strengthened financial regulation and the deleveraging process. The funding costs remained high. To better promote its principal businesses, the Company has further promoted its cooperation with financial institutions, innovated the financing management model and explored the new financing channels. In 2018, BBMG Corporation maintained its AAA credit rating, which ensured the Company’s access to financing at bond market. BBMG Finance Co., Ltd. (“BBMG Finance”) and BBMG Finance Lease Co., Ltd.

DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS ON FUTURE DEVELOPMENT
(1) Industry Pattern and Trend
- 1 Domestic and overseas environments remain complex and challenging, and economy faces downward pressure.
In terms of international environment, the global economic situation is complicated and geopolitical risks remain high. In 2019, the external environment is unbalanced and troubled by many uncertainties. In particular, the global economic growth and international trade growth have shown signs of slowing down. Trade frictions and policy uncertainties continue to pose significant risks. Economies around the world are exposed to amplified vulnerability against the backdrop of uncertainties. The downside risks to global economic growth have increased, but overall, the economic recovery is still continuing.
In terms of the domestic environment, the economic development is facing complex changes in international environment and internal conditions. The longstanding structural problems in China remain prominent. The hidden risks are exposed. The economic performance is stable but is subject to concerns. First and foremost, the Sino-US economy and trade friction remain the greatest uncertainty threating the export condition, and may weaken the marginal driving effects of international demands. Its impacts on China’s division of labour in the global industrial chain and the expectations and confidence of some enterprises cannot be ignored. Moreover, domestic demands are expected to decline. With the traditional pillar industries such as real estate and automobiles entering the adjustment period, the new driving forces are still weaker than the traditional pillar industries despite the accelerated pace of replacing old growth drivers with new ones. Affected slower income growth, rising household debt burden, and declining willingness to spend on consumer durables, the overall consumption growth is relatively sluggish.
On the whole, the risks and challenges brought about by the changes in the long-term and short-term, internal and external factors have increased significantly in China, and the endogenous growth momentum needs to be further enhanced. However, given the many favourable factors for China’s economy to maintain steady development in the future, the economic growth has tremendous potential and resilience. The supply-side structural reform has been further advanced, the reform and opening up has been pushed further, the emerging industries are flourishing, the employment situation is stable, domestic demands increasingly fuel economic growth, and the effects of macroeconomic policies are gradually manifesting. The economic growth rate is expected to remain in a stable range for the year.

2 Building materials industry fares well and the real estate market comes under pressure.
The structural reform of the supply front was further advanced in the building materials industry in 2018. The efforts to cut overcapacity continued to bear fruits, and generated even more economic benefits. The industrial structure was gradually optimized, and the building materials industry generally fared well. However, the overcapacity problem in cement and sheet glass industries are yet to be solved. Lots of factories were just suspended and they may resume production at any time. The structural contradiction at the supply front remains the principal contradiction.
Building materials industry’s total output increased moderately. In 2018, the added value of the building materials industry increased 4.3% year-on-year, with production volume of main products continuing to grow. Cement output declined 5.3% year-on-year to 2.21 billion tonnes. Output of commercial concrete increased 12.4% year-on-year. Building materials prices climbed steadily. Average price of building materials increased 10.5% year-on-year in 2018, recording growth for the second consecutive year. The industry’s profitability further improved. In 2018, the above-scale companies in the building materials industry recorded a total revenue of RMB4.8 trillion, representing an increase of 15% year-on-year, and total profits increased 43% year-on-year to RMB431.7 billion. The cement sector recorded a total revenue of RMB882.3 billion, representing an increase of 25% year-on-year, and total profit increased 114% to RMB154.6 billion. Fixed asset investment in the cement industry continued to grow, which was mainly driven by technological upgrade and environmental protection projects. Very few new production capacities were built. The building materials industry underwent gradual structural optimization. Large building materials companies continued with their acquisition and restructuring activities, which increased the industry concentration. The top 10 cement companies (groups) accounted for 64% of total clinker capacities in China, representing an increase of 12 percentage points from 2015.
The real estate market will come under pressure in 2019. Real estate companies will continue to face complicated real estate policies. The glut in third and fourth-tier cities is expected to be worsened by the adjustment in shanty town renovation policies and increases supplies. In general, we expect the real estate sales growth to slow down and prices to stabilize in 2019, while growth in newly started constructions and real estate investments will be moderate or low. As for the demand, the property cooling measures will weigh on residential property sales, but we expect the downside is limited as China is still in the process of urbanization. Real estate companies will put brakes on their investments due to the lower sales and slower cash inflow from property sales. On the other hand, the massive land sales acquired by real estate companies during the past two years will ensure that newly started constructions and real estate investment will continue to grow.
- 59 -
In general, we will continue to face lots of external instabilities and uncertainties, and the domestic economy will face a growing downward pressure. However, 2019 will be the 70th anniversary of PRC, and the central government will roll out a series of stimulus measures and beef up implementation of the “six stabilization” policies. The RMB2 trillion tax cut and other policies of optimizing the business environment will drive quality development of China’s manufacturing industries and help create a strong domestic market. As the regional strategic development has entered the construction stage, raised debt limits of local governments fuel infrastructure construction and improve weak links, and new technologies for infrastructure construction represented by artificial intelligence and industrial internet are launched to facility the transition from old to new drivers, the economy is expected to generally remain stable.

(4) Possible risks
1 Risks in Policies
The development of cement and property sectors is directly subject to macroeconomic development and macroeconomic control policies. The China-US trade tension will also impact the Company’s businesses. The overcapacity issue in the cement industry remains unsolved. Staggering production will continue, and regulators will step up efforts in implementing other environmental protection policies. Cement companies will continue to actively respond to the structural reform of the supply front, enhance quality and efficiency, and strive for high quality business development. Property curb will remain tight, and more new policies will be introduced. The government’s curb on property industry is reaching the harshest level ever. In the meanwhile, China’s economy remains stable but is also undergoing changes. The external environment is complicated and challenging, and we are facing more economic uncertainties.
- 62 -
Solution: The Company will enhance the interpretation, analysis and judgment of the national macroeconomic policies, and actively respond to national policies. The Company will also pay close attention to the US trade policies toward China, and make adjustments in its importation and exportation accordingly. The Company will make use of market trends, raise the awareness in opportunity identification, synergy among industry segments and development, and incrementally enhance the abilities in institutional innovation, system innovation, technology innovation and management innovation. Leveraging fully on the advantages in scale, region and brand, the Company will sharpen its core competence, promote quality business development minimize the risks brought by macroeconomic policies.
2 Risks in Capital Operation
The capital market is facing many uncertainties due to strengthened financial regulation and the deleveraging. The funding costs remained high. As a result, businesses are having more difficulties in obtaining loans and face higher liquidity risks. Since it is in the stage of rapid development, the Company will face certain level of financial pressures to maintain daily operations and meet the needs of future development.
Solution: The Company will enhance its management on finance and capital, improve the efficiency in the use of capital, and promote its cooperation with financial institutions. It will also innovate our financing channels and explore new financing channels with a view to ensuring the safety and stability of the capital chain of the Company. Leveraging the advantages of BBMG Finance and BBMG Finance Lease, cash flow of the Company will be secured as a whole.
3 Risks in Market Competition
The Company conducted a strategic restructuring of Jidong Group successfully, which has further improved the order of the regional market where the cement segment of the Company operates. However, there is an excess of capacity in the industry as a whole. Many factories were just suspended and they may resume production at any time, causing impact on the market. Moreover, there is an imbalance in regional development. The market conditions in North China are better than that in South China, and the gap is widening. Companies in Northeast China and Inner Mongolia are still losing money or barely break even. Staggering production will encourage unfair competition in the market and impede self-discipline in the industry.
Solution: The Company will actively adapt to industry and market environment. It will seize the strategic opportunities to create more values, accelerate the absorption of restructuring results and enhance its operation and management. The Company will also optimize its presence in the cement industry, increase its share in regional markets, accelerate its transformation and upgrade, step up efforts in technological R&D and innovation, lower its costs and enhance its competitiveness in the market. As the industry leader, it will set example for other cement companies and help set the right market orders and industry rules, thereby enhancing its influence in the market and promoting quality growth of the whole industry.

Note 1 : Phase 1 of the engineering project of BBMG International Logistics Park has been completed, phase 2 and phase 3 have been basically completed. It was scheduled to be completed in December 2016. Since Beijing has launched a policy in relation to orderly shift of non-capital core functions and adjusted its overall planning upon approval of the proceeds-financed project, after consideration and approval at the eighteenth meeting of the fourth session of the Board, the eleventh meeting of the fourth session of the Supervisory Board and the 2016 annual general meeting of the Company and making announcement thereof, the following adjustment will be made for the proceeds-financed project: BBMG International Logistics Park will enhance its position by proactively transforming into an advanced and international park. The completion time of the project will be extended from the end of December 2016 to the end of December 2018. As of 31 December 2018, the expenses incurred but not yet settled and the expenses expected to be incurred but not yet settled amounted to RMB23.5942 million in total.

Note 2: Production line project with an annual production capacity of 0.8 million pieces of furniture has been completed. The difference between committed investment before and after fund raising of the project was due to the deduction of issuance expense of RMB20.3041 million, as well as the change in use of proceeds of RMB895.2059 million. As of the date of this special report, the committed investment proceeds for the production line project with an annual production capacity of 0.8 million pieces of furniture changed to RMB900 million. Such change was resolved and announced at the 2014 annual general meeting of BBMG Corporation.

Note 3: Chaoyang District Chaoyang North Road (former Star Building Materials Product Factory) B01, B02 and B03 secondary residential, secondary and primary school and nursery project has been completed. The difference between committed investment before and after fund raising was due to the deduction of issuance expense of RMB62.1250 million. During the implementation of project construction, the Company strictly followed the relevant requirements in relation to the use of proceeds and the proceeds raised were used prudently. Since the project was established at an earlier time, a significant amount of investment has been made by using self-financing funds at the preliminary stage. However, the proceeds can only be used to replace the investment made after the date of the resolution on non-public issuance of Shares by the 17th meeting of the third session of the Board of the Company. Accordingly, this proceeds-financed project has an outstanding balance of proceed. After consideration and approval at the 30th meeting of the fourth session of the Board, the 18th meeting of the fourth session of the Supervisory Board and the 2017 annual general meeting of the Company, the Company closed the project and applied the remaining balance of the proceeds of RMB377.7308 million to permanently replenish the working capital.

Note 4: Chaoyang District, Dongba Dandian secondary residential and primary school project has been completed. During the implementation of project construction, the Company strictly followed the relevant requirements in relation to the use of proceeds and the proceeds raised were used prudently. Since the project was established at an earlier time, a significant amount of investment has been made by using self-financing funds at the preliminary stage. However, the proceeds can only be used to replace the investment made after the date of the resolution on non-public issuance of Shares by the 17th meeting of the third session of the Board of the Company. In addition, during the course of project construction, due to reasons such as further optimization of proposal design, decrease in market price of building materials such as reinforced concrete to a level lower than the estimated value, and application of unused self-financing funds towards early repayment of interest-bearing liabilities upon the receipt of proceeds, the cost of construction has decreased. Taking into account of the above factors, this proceeds-financed project has an outstanding balance of proceed. After consideration and approval at the 30th meeting of the fourth session of the Board, the 18th meeting of the fourth session of the Supervisory Board and the 2017 annual general meeting of the Company, the Company closed the project and applied the remaining balance of the proceeds of RMB943.3310 million to permanently replenish the working capital.
