LUTHAI TEXTILE JOINT STOCK COMPANY LIMITED NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2002

ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Background information

Luthai Textile Joint Stock Company Limited (the “Company”) is a joint stock limited company established in Shandong Province of the People’s Republic of China (“PRC”). The principal activities of the Company and its subsidiaries (the “Group”) are the manufacture and sale of various textiles and garment products, including yarn, dyed yarn, fabric and shirts. The Group operates in the PRC. The address of the Company’s registered office is as follows:

South Side, Nan Ying North Road Zibo High and New Technology Development Zone Zibo City, Shandong Province The People’s Public of China

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, including International Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the International Accounting Standards Board. The consolidated financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.

B. Consolidation

Subsidiary undertakings, which are those companies in which the Group, directly or indirectly has an interest of more than one half of the voting rights or otherwise has power to exercise control over the operations, are consolidated. 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. All inter-company transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions between group companies are eliminated; unrealised losses are also eliminated unless cost cannot be recovered. Where necessary, the accounting policies of subsidiaries are changed to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group.

A listing of the Group’s principal subsidiaries is set out in Note 24.

30

C. Foreign currencies

The Group maintains its books and accounting records in Renminbi. Foreign currency transactions in the Group companies are accounted for at the exchange rates prevailing at the date of the transactions. Foreign currency monetary assets and liabilities are translated at the applicable exchange rates prevailing at the balance sheet date. 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.

D. Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less depreciation and impairment losses. Property, plant and equipment contributed by a minority shareholder are initially recorded at their approved appraised value upon contribution to a subsidiary. Depreciation is calculated on the straight-line method to write off the cost of the each asset to its residual value, estimated at 10 per cent of cost, over its estimated useful life as follows:

Buildings	20 years
Plants and machinery	13 years
Electronic equipment and motor vehicles	5 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.

E. Land use rights

Land use rights are stated at cost less accumulated amortisation and impairment losses. Cost represents consideration paid for the rights to use the land on which the Group’s factories and buildings are situated. Amortisation of land use rights is calculated on a straight-line basis over the period of the land use rights varying from 10 to 13 years.

The land use rights will be renewed upon expiration of their present use period.

31

F. Intangible assets

Expenditure on acquired intangible assets is capitalised and amortised using the straight-line method over their estimated beneficial period as follows:

Electricity use rights 10 years Water use rights 10 years Computer software 5 years

G. Investments

The Group classified its 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 purchases 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. Investments with fixed maturity that the management has the intent and ability to hold to maturity are classified as held-to-maturity and are included in non-current assets; during the year the Group did not hold any investments in this category. 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; these 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.

All 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, whilst held-to-maturity investments are carried at amortised cost using the effective yield method. Realised and unrealised gains and losses arising from changes in the fair value of trading investments are included in the income statement in the period in which they arise. Unrealised gain and losses arising from changes in the fair value of securities classified as available-for-sale are recognised in equity. The fair value of investments is based on quoted bid prices or amounts derived from cash flow models. Fair values for unlisted equity securities are estimated using applicable price/earnings or price/cash flow ratios refined to reflect the specific circumstances of the issuer. 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.

32

H. Leases

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.

I. 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, but excludes borrowing costs. Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the costs of completion and estimated selling expenses.

J. 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.

K. Notes receivable

Notes receivable are carried at face value of the notes which approximate fair value.

L. Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents are carried in the balance sheet at cost. For the purpose of the cash flow statement, cash and cash equivalents comprise cash in hand and deposits held at call with banks.

M. Share capital

Ordinary shares with discretionary dividends are classified as equity.

External costs directly attributable to the issuance of new shares are shown as a deduction in equity from the proceeds.

Dividends on ordinary shares are recognised in equity in the period in which they are declared.

33

N. Borrowings

Borrowings are recognised initially at the proceeds received, net of transaction costs incurred. In subsequent periods, borrowings are 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.

O. 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. The principal temporary differences arise from depreciation on property, plant and equipment, provisions for receivables, inventories and property, plant and equipment. Tax rates enacted by the balance sheet date are used to determine deferred income tax.

Deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilised.

P. Defined contributions to pension scheme

The Group participates in a government pension scheme. The annual contribution amount is provided based on the amount determined by the local government agency. Under this scheme, retirement benefits of existing and retired employees are assured by the National United Retirement Fund and the Group has no further obligations beyond the annual contributions. It is the directors’ intention to continue making such payments in the future.

Q. Revenue recognition

Sales are recognised upon delivery of products and customer acceptance when significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods are transferred to the customer. Sales are shown net of value added tax and discounts, and after eliminating sales within the Group.

Other revenues earned by the Group are recognised on the following bases: Interest income – on an accrual basis, unless collectibility is in doubt. Dividend income – when the payment is received.

34

R. Financial instruments

(1) Financial risk factors

The Group’s activities expose to it to a variety of financial risks, including the effects of changes in Government Bonds Exchange quoted prices, foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates.

(i) Foreign exchange risk

The Group’s sales, notes receivable and trade receivables are exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from various currency exposures primarily with respect to US Dollars and the Group’s purchases and trade payables are exposed to foreign exchange risk primarily with respect to Euro and Japanese Yen. The Group has not used any forward contracts or currency borrowings to hedge its insignificant exposure to foreign currency 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. As at 31 December 2002, all of the Group’s borrowings were at fixed interest rates as stipulated by the People’s Bank of China of PRC.

(iii) Credit risk

The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, receivables and prepayments, and trading investments represent the Group’s maximum exposure to credit risk in relation to financial assets. The Group has no significant concentrations of credit risk. The Group has policies in place to ensure that sales of products are made to customers with an appropriate credit history. Cash and trading investments transactions are limited to reputable financial institutions.

(2) Fair value estimation

Fair value of publicly traded trading securities is based on quoted market prices at the balance sheet date. In assessing the fair value of non-traded financial instruments, the Group uses a variety of methods, such as quoted market prices or estimated discounted value of future cash flows, and makes assumptions that are based on market conditions existing at each balance sheet date.

The face values less any estimated credit adjustments for financial assets and liabilities with a maturity of less than one year are assumed to approximate their fair values. The fair value of financial liabilities for disclosure purposes is estimated by discounting the future contractual cash flows at the current market interest rate available to the Group for similar financial instruments.

35

S. Comparatives

Comparative figures have been adjusted to conform with changes in presentation in the current year.

1. Sales

Sales represent invoiced sales of textile products to third parties and related companies (Note 23), net of value added tax and discounts, and comprise the following:

As at 31 December 2002, the Group has no significant deferred tax assets and liabilities.

In accordance with the relevant statutory tax rules in the coastal open zone where the Company is located, the Company is subject to a statutory tax rate of 24 per cent.

Beginning from 1995, the Company has been granted a concessionary tax rate of 12 per cent subject to its output value of export products exceeding 70 per cent of output value of the products of the enterprise. The Local Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation has verified that output value of export products for the year ended 31 December 2002 had exceeded 70 per cent of output value of products of the enterprise. Accordingly, the income tax has been provided at 12 per cent.

The reconciliation of profit before tax and income tax expense is as follows:

Profit before tax of the Group Tax calculated at a tax rate of 12% (2001: 12%) Effect of different tax rates of subsidiaries Income not subject to tax Effect of expenses not deductible for tax purposes Income tax expense	2002 2001 152,986 139,358

	21,692 19,002

37

6. Earnings per share

Basic and diluted earnings per share have been calculated by dividing the net profit attributable to shareholders by the weighted average number of ordinary shares in issue during the year. As there are no potentially dilutive securities, there is no difference between basic and diluted earnings per share.

	2002	2001
Net profit attributable to shareholders	128,542	120,518
Weighted average number of ordinary shares in issue (thousands)	352,027	352,027
Earnings per share (RMB per share)	0.37	0.34

7. Dividends per share

At the Annual General Meeting to be held in May 2003, a dividend in respect of 2002 of RMB 0.3 per share is to be proposed. Total dividends amounted to RMB 105,608,000. These financial statements do not reflect this dividend payable, which will be accounted for in shareholders’ equity as an appropriation of retained earnings in the year ending 31 December 2003. The dividends declared in respect of 2001 and 2000 were, respectively, RMB 86,111,220 and RMB 77,359,000.

The PRC laws and regulations require PRC enterprises to provide for statutory common reserve fund and statutory public welfare fund which are appropriated from net profit as reported in the statutory financial statements prepared under the PRC accounting regulations prior to any dividend appropriation. All statutory common reserve fund and statutory public welfare fund are created for specific purposes.

The Company is required to allocate at least 10 per cent of its net profit to the statutory common reserve fund until this fund reaches 50 per cent of the registered capital. The statutory common reserve fund can only be used, upon approval by the relevant authorities, to offset accumulated losses or to increase capital. However, the remaining unconverted statutory common reserve fund should be maintained at a minimum of 25 per cent of registered capital. An appropriation of 10 per cent of net profit has been allocated to the statutory common reserve fund for the year ended 31 December 2002 (2001: 10 per cent).

An appropriation of 5 per cent of net profit has been made to the statutory public welfare fund for the year ended 31 December 2002 (2001: 5 per cent). This fund should be used for the collective welfare of the employees.

According to the PRC listing rules and relevant regulations, distributions of profit should be made based on the lower of the retained earnings as stated in the statutory financial statements and the retained earnings as stated in the financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRS. On this basis, the retained earnings of the Company as of 31 December 2002 were RMB 120,054,000 (2001: RMB 97,274,000).

In accordance with the Company’s Articles of Association, an appropriation to a discretionary common reserve fund can be made after the statutory appropriations, subject to shareholders’ approval at the Annual General Meeting. At the Annual General Meeting to be held in May 2003, no discretionary common reserve fund is to be proposed (2001: nil).
