BOE TECHNOLOGY GROUP CO., LTD. FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2003

ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements are set out below:

A Basis of preparation

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”). This basis of accounting differs from that used in the preparation of the Group's statutory financial statements (“PRC statutory financial statements”). The financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries comprising the Group have been prepared in accordance with the relevant accounting principles and regulations applicable to them. Appropriate adjustments have been made to these financial statements to conform with IFRS.

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention except those disclosed in the accounting policies below.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires the use of estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Although these estimates are based on management’s best knowledge of current event and actions, actual results ultimately may differ from those estimates.

In 2001, the Group adopted IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement and IAS 40 Investment Property. The financial effects of adopting these standards were reported in the previous year’s consolidated financial statements.

B Group accounting

(1) Subsidiaries

Subsidiaries, which are those entities in which the Group has an interest of more than one half of the voting rights or otherwise has power to govern the financial and operating policies are consolidated. The existence and effect of potential voting rights that are presently exercisable or presently convertible are considered when assessing whether the Group controls another entity.
Subsidiaries are consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group and are no longer consolidated from the date that control ceases. The purchase method of accounting is used to account for the acquisition of subsidiaries. The cost of an acquisition is measured as the fair value of the assets given up, shares issued or liabilities undertaken at the date of acquisition plus costs directly attributable to the acquisition. The excess of the cost of acquisition over the fair value of the net assets of the subsidiary acquired is recorded as goodwill. See note F for the accounting policy on goodwill. Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions between group companies are eliminated; unrealised losses are also eliminated

unless cost cannot be recovered. Where necessary, accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group.

BOE TECHNOLOGY GROUP CO., LTD. FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2003

ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

B Group accounting (continued)

(2) Associates

Investments in associates are accounted for by the equity method of accounting. Under this method the company’s share of the post-acquisition profits or losses of associates is recognised in the income statement and its share of post-acquisition movements in reserves is recognised in reserves. The cumulative post-acquisition movements are adjusted against the cost of the investment. Associates are entities over which the Group generally has between 20% and 50% of the voting rights, or over which the Group has significant influence, but which it does not control. Unrealised gains on transactions between the Group and its associates are eliminated to the extent of the Group’s interest in the associates; unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the asset transferred. The Group’s investment in associates includes goodwill (net of accumulated amortisation) on acquisition. When the Group’s share of losses in an associate equals or exceeds its interest in the associate, the Group does not to recognise further losses, unless the Group has incurred obligations or made payments on behalf of the associates.

(3) Joint ventures

The Group’s interests in jointly controlled entities are accounted for by proportionate consolidation. The Group combines its share of the joint ventures’ individual income and expenses, assets and liabilities and cash flows on a line-by-line basis with similar items in the Group’s financial statements. The Group recognises the portion of gains or losses on the sale of assets by the Group to the joint venture that it is attributable to the other venturers. The Group does not recognise its share of profits or losses from the joint venture that result from the purchase of assets by the Group from the joint venture until it resells the assets to an independent party. However, if a loss on the transaction provides evidence of a reduction in the net realisable value of current assets or an impairment loss, the loss is recognised immediately.

C Foreign currency translation

(1) Measurement currency

Items included in the financial statements of each entity in the Group are measured using the currency that best reflects the economic substance of the underlying events and circumstances relevant to that entity (“the measurement currency”). The consolidated financial statements are presented in Renminbi, which is the measurement currency of the parent.

(2) Transactions and balances

Foreign currency transactions are translated into the measurement currency using

11 -

BOE TECHNOLOGY GROUP CO., LTD. FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2003

the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies, are recognised in the income statement.

Translation differences on debt securities and other monetary financial assets measured at fair value are included in foreign exchange gains and losses. Translation differences on non-monetary items such as equities held for trading are reported as part of the fair value gain or loss. Translation differences on available-for-sale equities are included in the revaluation reserve in equity.

12 -

BOE TECHNOLOGY GROUP CO., LTD. FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2003

ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

C Foreign currency translation (continued)

(3) Group companies

Income statements and cash flows of foreign entities are translated into the Group’s reporting currency at average exchange rates for the year and their balance sheets are translated at the exchange rates ruling on 31 December. Exchange differences arising from the translation of the net investment in foreign entities and of borrowings and other currency instruments designated as hedges of such investments, are taken to shareholders’ equity. When a foreign entity is sold, such exchange differences are recognised in the income statement as part of the gain or loss on sale.

Goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on the acquisition of a foreign entity are treated as assets and liabilities of the foreign entity and translated at the closing rate.

D Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment are stated at historical cost less depreciation. Cost includes its purchase price, including import duties and non-refundable purchase taxes, and any directly attributable costs of bringing the asset to working condition for its intended use; any trade discounts and rebates are deducted in arriving at the purchase price. Cost incurred to construct property, plant and equipment over one year is recorded as construction in progress and transferred to property, plant and equipment when the construction is ready for intended use.

Depreciation is calculated on the straight-line method to write off the cost of each asset, to their residual values over their estimated useful life as follows:

Buildings 20-40 years Plant and machinery 2-15 years Motor vehicles 2-10 years

Where the carrying amount of an asset is greater than its estimated recoverable amount, it is written down immediately to its recoverable amount.

Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with carrying amount and are included in operating profit.

Interest costs on borrowings to finance the construction of property, plant and equipment are capitalised, during the period of time that is required to complete and prepare the asset for its intended use. All other borrowing costs are expensed.

Repairs and maintenance are charged to the income statement during the financial period in which they are incurred. The cost of major renovations is included in the carrying amount of the asset when it is probable that future economic benefits in excess of the originally assessed standard of performance of the existing asset will flow to the Group. Major renovations are depreciated over the remaining useful life of the related asset.

13 -

BOE TECHNOLOGY GROUP CO., LTD. FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2003

ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

E Investment property

Investment property, principally comprising office buildings, is held for long-term rental yields and is not occupied by the Group. Investment property is treated as a long-term investment and is stated at historical cost less depreciation and impairment. Depreciation is calculated on the straight-line method to write off the cost of each property, to their residual values over their estimated useful lives ranging from 20 to 40 years.

F Intangible assets

(1) Goodwill (Negative goodwill)

Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of an acquisition over the fair value of the Group’s share in the net assets of the acquired subsidiary/associated at the date of acquisition. Goodwill on acquisitions of subsidiaries is included in intangible assets. Goodwill on acquisitions of associates is included in investment in associates. Goodwill is amortised using the straight-line method over its estimated useful life, not exceeding 20 years.

At each balance sheet date, the Group assesses whether there is any indication of impairments. If such indications exist, an analysis is performed to assess whether the carrying amount of goodwill is fully recoverable. A write down is made if the carrying amount exceeds the recoverable amount.
Negative goodwill represents the excess of fair value of the Group’s share of the net assets acquired over cost of acquisition. Negative goodwill is presented in the same balance sheet classifications as goodwill. To the extent that negative goodwill relates to expectations of future losses and expenses that are identified in the Group’s plan for the acquisition and can be measured reliably, but which do not represent identifiable liabilities, that portion of negative goodwill is recognised in the income statement when the future losses and expenses are recognised. Any remaining negative goodwill, not exceeding the fair values of the non-monetary assets acquired, is recognised as income over 10 years which is the remaining weighted-average useful life of the identifiable acquired depreciable/amortisable assets; the portion of negative goodwill in excess of the fair values of the acquired identifiable non-monetary assets is recognised as income immediately.

(2) Research and development

Research expenditure is recognised as an expense as incurred. Costs incurred on development projects (relating to the design and testing of new or improved products) are recognised as intangible assets when it is probable that the project will be a success considering its commercial and technological feasibility, and only if the cost can be measured reliably. Other development expenditures are recognised as an expense as incurred. Development costs previously recognised as an expense are not recognised as an asset in a subsequent period. Development costs that have been capitalised are amortised from the commencement of the commercial production of the product on a
14 -

BOE TECHNOLOGY GROUP CO., LTD. FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2003

straight-line basis over the period of its expected benefit, not exceeding five years.

15 -

BOE TECHNOLOGY GROUP CO., LTD. FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2003

ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

F Intangible assets (continued)

(3) Computer software development cost

Costs associated with developing or maintaining computer software programmes are recognised as an expense as incurred. Costs that are directly associated with identifiable and unique software products controlled by the Group and have probable economic benefits exceeding the cost beyond one year, are recognised as intangible assets. Direct costs include staff costs of the software development team and an appropriate portion of relevant overheads.

Expenditure that enhances or extends the performance of computer software programmes beyond their original specifications is recognised as a capital improvement and added to the original cost of the software. Computer software development costs recognised as assets are amortised using the straight-line method over their useful lives.

(4) Technology rights

Technology rights are confidential techniques or experience that has been applied to productions or operation. Expenditure on acquired technology rights is capitalised and amortised using the straight-line method over their useful lives, but not exceeding 10 years.

(5) Other intangible assets

Expenditure on acquired patents, trademarks and licences is capitalised and amortised using the straight-line method over their useful lives, but not exceeding 10 years. Intangible assets are not revalued.

G Impairment of long lived assets

Property, plant and equipment and other non-current assets, including goodwill and intangible assets are reviewed for impairment losses whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its recoverable amount which is the higher of an asset’s net selling price and value in use. For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest level for which there are separately identifiable cash flows.

ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

H Investments

The Group classified its investments in debt and equity securities into the following categories: trading, held-to-maturity and available-for-sale. The classification is dependent on the purpose for which the investments were acquired. Management determines the classification of its investments at the time of the purchase and re-evaluates such designation on a regular basis. Investments that are acquired principally for the purpose of generating a profit from short-term fluctuations in price are classified as trading investments and included in current assets; for the purpose of these financial statements short term is defined as 3 months; during the year the Group did not hold any investments in this category. Investments with a fixed maturity that management has the intent and ability to hold to maturity are classified as held-to-maturity and are included in non-current assets, except for maturities within 12 months from the balance sheet date which are classified as current assets. Investments intended to be held for an indefinite period of time, which may be sold in response to needs for liquidity or changes in interest rates, are classified as available-for-sale; and are included in non-current assets unless management has the express intention of holding the investment for less than 12 months from the balance sheet date or unless they will need to be sold to raise operating capital, in which case they are included in current assets.

Purchases and sales of investments are recognised on the trade date, which is the date that the Group commits to purchase or sell the asset. Cost of purchase includes transaction costs. Trading and available-for-sale investments are subsequently carried at fair value. Held-to-maturity investments are carried at amortised cost using the effective yield method. Unrealised gain and losses arising from changes in the fair value of securities classified as available-for-sale are recognised in equity. Equity securities for which fair values cannot be measured reliably are recognised at cost less impairment. When securities classified as available-for-sale are sold or impaired, the accumulated fair value adjustments are included in the income statement as gains and losses from investment securities.

I Land use rights

Land use rights are the rights granted to the Group to develop, use and/or operate on a parcel of land within a pre-approved period of time. Upfront lump sum usage fees prepaid are recorded as land use rights, which are amortised on the straight-line basis over the pre-approved period, normally 50 years.

(1) A Group company is the lessee

Leases of property, plant and equipment where the Group has substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are classified as finance leases. Finance leases are capitalised at the inception of the lease at the lower of the fair value of the leased property or the present value of the minimum lease payments. Each lease payment is allocated between the liability and finance charges so as to achieve a constant rate on the finance balance outstanding. The corresponding rental obligations, net of finance charges, are included in other long-term payables. The interest element of the finance cost is charged to the income statement over the lease period so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability for each period. The property, plant and equipment acquired under finance leases are depreciated over the shorter of the useful life of the assets or the lease term.

ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

J Leases (continued)

(1) A Group company is the lessee (continued)

Leases where a significant portion of the risks and rewards of ownership are retained by the lessor are classified as operating leases. Payments made under operating leases (net of any incentives received from the lessor) are charged to the income statement on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease.

(2) A Group company is the lessor

Assets leased out under operating leases are included in property, plant and equipment in the balance sheet. They are depreciated over their expected useful lives on a basis consistent with similar owned property, plant and equipment. Rental income (net of any incentives given to lessees) is recognised on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

K Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realisable value. Cost is determined by the weighted average method. The cost of finished goods and work in progress comprises raw materials, direct labour, other direct costs and related production overheads (based on normal operating capacity), but excludes borrowing costs. Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the costs of completion and selling expenses.

L Trade receivables

Trade receivables are carried at original invoice amount less provision made for impairment of these receivables. A provision for impairment of trade receivables is established when there is objective evidence that the Group will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of receivables. The amount of the provision is the difference between the carrying amount and the recoverable amount, being the present value of expected cash flows, discounted at the market rate of interest for similar borrowers.

M Loan to employee

Loans provided to employees for their welfare such as housing are recognised as loans to employees. Long-term loans are initially recognised at fair value and subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective yield method. The fair value on initial recognition is based on discounted cash flows using a discount rate based on the borrowing rate which the directors expect would be available to the borrower.
19 -

BOE TECHNOLOGY GROUP CO., LTD. FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2003

N Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents are carried in the balance sheet at cost. For the purposes of the cash flow statement, cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand, deposits held at call with banks, and other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less.

BOE TECHNOLOGY GROUP CO., LTD. FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2003

ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

O Share capital

(1) Ordinary shares are classified as equity.
(2) Incremental external costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares, other than in connection with business combination, are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds. Share issue costs incurred directly in connection with a business combination are included in the cost of acquisition.

P Borrowings

Borrowings are recognised initially at the proceeds is received, net of transaction costs incurred. Borrowings are subsequently stated at amortised cost using the effective yield method; any difference between proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption value is recognised in the income statement over the period of the borrowings.

When convertible bonds are issued by the Group’s subsidiary, the fair value of the convertible bonds is determined using a market interest rate for an equivalent non-convertible bond; this amount is carried as liabilities on the amortised cost basis until extinguished on conversion or maturity of the bonds.

Q Deferred income tax

Deferred income tax is provided in full, using the liability method, on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements. Currently enacted tax rates are used in the determination of deferred income tax.

Deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the temporary difference can be utilized.

Deferred income tax is provided on temporary differences arising on investments in subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures, except where the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference can be controlled and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future.

R Employee benefits

The Group participates in defined contribution employee benefits plans by respective local governments. Under the plans, the Group’s contribution is based on defined percentage of salaries and wages subject to certain salary ceilings. Contributions to the plans are charged to the income statement as incurred.

22 -

BOE TECHNOLOGY GROUP CO., LTD. FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2003

ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

R Employee benefits (continued)

The defined benefit plan costs are assessed using the projected unit credit method: the cost of providing benefits is charged to the income statement so as to spread the regular cost over the service lives of employees. The defined benefit obligation is measured at the present value of the estimated future cash outflows using discount rates determined based on high quality fixed interest corporate bonds or Korean government bonds. Actuarial gains and losses are recognised over the average remaining service lives of employees.

S Provisions

Provisions are recognised when the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events, it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate of the amount can be made. Where the Group expects a provision to be reimbursed, for example under an insurance contract, the reimbursement is recognised as a separate asset but only when the reimbursement is virtually certain.

(1) Warranty

The Group recognises the estimated liability to repair or replace products still under warranty at the balance sheet date. This provision is calculated based on historical data of the level of repairs and replacements.

(2) Employee compensated absences entitlement

Employee compensated absences entitlement is provided by Hyundai LCD Inc. and BOE-Hydis to their employees. Employee entitlements to annual leave and long service leave are recognised when they accrue to employees. A provision is made for the estimated liability for annual leave and long-service leave as a result of services rendered by employees up to the balance sheet date.

T Government grants

Grants from the government are recognised at their fair value where there is a reasonable assurance that the grant will be received and the Group will comply with all attached conditions.

Government grants relating to costs are deferred and recognised in the income statement over the period necessary to match them with the costs they are intended to compensate.

Government grants relating to the purchase of property, plant and equipment are included in non-current liabilities as other liabilities and are credited to the income statement on a straight line basis over the expected lives of the related assets.

Other government grants are recognized as income upon receipt.

ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

U Revenue recognition

Revenue comprises the invoiced value for the sale of goods and services net of value-added tax, rebates and discounts, and after eliminating sales within the Group. Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised when significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods are transferred to the buyer. Revenue from rendering of services is based on the stage of completion determined by reference to services performed to date as a percentage of total services to be performed.
Interest income is recognised on a time proportion basis, taking account of the principal outstanding and the effective rate over the period to maturity, when it is determined that such income will accrue to the Group. Dividends are recognised when the right to receive payment is established.

V Dividends

Dividends are recorded in the Group’s financial statements in the period in which they are approved by the Group’s shareholders.

W Segment reporting

All acquired assets and liabilities are initially recognized at fair value. Any excess, at the date of the exchange transaction, of the Company’s interest in the fair values of the identifiable assets and liabilities acquired over the cost of the acquisition, is recognised as negative goodwill and is amortised over the weighed-average useful life of the non-monetary assets acquired or recognised as income when the future losses identified in the acquirer’s plans occur.

Y Comparatives

Where necessary, comparative figures have been adjusted to conform with changes in presentation in the current year.

BOE TECHNOLOGY GROUP CO., LTD. FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2003

Financial Risk Management

(1) Financial risk factors

The Group’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks, including the effects of changes in debt and equity market prices, foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. The Group’s overall risk management program focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on the financial performance of the Group.

The overall responsibility for the implementation of the Group’s financial risk management

policies lies with the Board of Directors.

(i) Foreign exchange risk

The Group operates internationally and is exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from various currency exposures primarily with respect to Korean Won (KRW). BOE-Hydis uses forward contracts to buy or sell KRW to hedge their exposure to foreign exchange risk.

(ii) Interest rate risk

The Group’s income and operating cash flows are substantially independent of changes in market interest rates. The Group has no significant interest bearing assets. However, the Group has borrowings bearing variable interest rates and does not use interest rate swaps as cash flow hedges of future interest payments.

(iii) Credit risk

The Group has no significant concentrations of credit risk. The Group has policies in place to ensure that sales of products and services are made to customers with an appropriate credit history. Derivative counterparties and cash transactions are limited to high credit quality financial institutions. The Group’s historical experience in the collection of accounts receivable falls within the recorded allowances.

The carrying amount of receivables and cash represent the Group’s maximum exposure to credit risk. In respect of receivables and cash, the Group has policies in place to ensure that customers and counterparties and banks with whom the Group maintains its cash are of suitable credit standing.

(iv) Liquidity risk

The Group ensures that it maintains sufficient cash which is available to meet its liquidity requirements.

(2) Accounting for derivative financial instruments

25 -

BOE TECHNOLOGY GROUP CO., LTD. FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2003

Derivative financial instruments are initially recognised in the balance sheet at cost and are subsequently remeasured at their fair value.

Changes in the fair value of any derivative instruments are recognised immediately in the income statement.

(3) Fair value estimation

The carrying amounts of the following financial assets and financial liabilities approximate to their fair value at the balance sheet date: cash, notes receivables, trade receivables and payables, other receivables and payables, and borrowings.

1 Segment information

BOE TECHNOLOGY GROUP CO., LTD. FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2003

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Amounts are expressed in RMB’000 unless otherwise stated)

In 2002, the Group’s risks and rates of return were derived predominantly from the fact that it operated in different countries or geographical areas. Therefore, the geographical segmentation was adopted as primary format.

However, in 2003, the Group commenced new business in providing different products and service. And, the Group’s risks and rates of return were affected predominantly by the difference in the business segment. Therefore, business segments are adopted as its primary segment reporting format and geographical segments as its secondary reporting format.

For management purposes, the Group is organized on a worldwide basis into three major operating divisions - Cathode Radial Tube (CRT) business, Thin Film Transistor-Liquid Crystal Display (TFT-LCD) business and Digital Product and Service (DPS) business. Other operations include Precision Electronic Components & Materials business and so on. The divisions are the basis on which the Group reports its primary segment information.
