II. PROPOSED SUBSCRIPTION OF NEW DOMESTIC SHARES BY NANJING SAMPLE TECHNOLOGY GROUP COMPANY LIMITED*
1. Domestic Shares Subscription Agreement
Date: 21 October 2014 (after trading hours)
Parties
-
(1) The Company as the issuer; and
-
(2) Sample Group as the subscriber.
Number of new Domestic Shares subscribed for
Sample Group will subscribe for an aggregate of 92,723,400 new Domestic Shares. Such new Domestic Shares represent approximately 41.38% of the existing issued share capital of the Company as at the Latest Practicable Date. Assuming there is no change to the issued share capital of the Company other than the issue of the new Domestic Shares pursuant to the Domestic Shares Subscription, immediately after completion of the new Domestic Shares Subscription, Sample Group will directly hold in aggregate 153,493,400 Domestic
– 7 –
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
Shares, representing approximately 48.45% of the then enlarged total issued share capital of the Company. Such 92,723,400 new Domestic Shares will be issued under a specific mandate to be sought at the EGM and the Class Meetings.
Subscription price
RMB4.50 (equivalent to approximately HK$5.67) per new Domestic Share.
The subscription price for the Domestic Shares Subscription is determined with reference to the average closing price of approximately HK$6.425 per H Share (equivalent to approximately RMB5.099) during the Price Determination Period. The average closing price of the H Shares during the Price Determination Period is calculated by dividing the total turnover of the trading of the H Shares by the total trading volume of the H Shares during the Price Determination Period and allow for a slight liquidity discount of approximately 11.75% since the Domestic Shares are not listed and therefore there is no publicly available transfer price. The resulting HK$ per Domestic Share is then converted to RMB at the exchange rate of RMB1 = HK$1.26 at the Price Determination Date for illustration purpose of this circular.
Conditions precedent to the Domestic Shares Subscription Agreement
The Domestic Shares Subscription is conditional upon:
-
(1) the Independent Shareholders approving the Domestic Shares Subscription Agreement, the Domestic Shares Subscription, the specific mandate and the proposed amendments to the Articles by way of special resolutions and by poll at the EGM and the Class Meetings;
-
(2) the Independent Shareholders approving the Whitewash Waiver by poll at the EGM and the Class Meetings;
-
(3) NMIPC approving the Domestic Shares Subscription;
-
(4) the Executive granting the Whitewash Waiver to Sample Group and parties acting in concert with it and the satisfaction of all conditions (if any) attached to the Whitewash Waiver;
-
(5) consent and approval of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange on the Domestic Shares Subscription pursuant to the Listing Rules (including but not limited to Chapter 14A) having been obtained; and
-
(6) the obtaining of all necessary consent and approval by the Company from relevant government and/or regulatory authorities.
None of the conditions can be waived under the Domestic Shares Subscription Agreement. Sample Group is obligated to remit the whole amount of the subscription money to one or more bank accounts of the Company within 10
– 8 –
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
business days after the satisfaction of the conditions precedent. The Company shall notify Sample Group in writing details of the bank account(s) on the day immediately following satisfaction of all conditions precedent.

Neither party shall claim or compensate the other save for any antecedent breaches accrued prior to the termination.
Specific Mandate
The 92,723,400 new Domestic Shares will be issued under a specific mandate to be sought at the EGM and the Class Meetings.
Domestic Shares are not listed
The Company has not applied and does not have any intention to apply for the listing of the Domestic Shares (i.e. A Share listing) on any stock exchanges in the PRC in the near future. The terms of the Domestic Shares Subscription are negotiated privately between a willing buyer and a willing seller.

Figures shown above are calculated assuming that no other Shares will be issued or transferred after the Latest Practicable Date until the completion of Domestic Shares Subscription.
4. Reasons for the Domestic Shares Subscription
Before resorting to the Domestic Shares Subscription, the Board had considered other ways to raise the required funds, including debt financing, H Shares and Domestic Shares rights issue and H Shares new issue. The followings are an analysis of each alternative:
- (i) Debt financing : The Group has been utilising bank borrowings to cover its cash requirements in investment activities and as at 31 December 2013, the Group had approximately RMB411.25 million in both short term and long term bank borrowings. The Group expects to repay short term borrowing of approximately RMB380.00 million within 12 months from 1 July 2014. Although the current ratio is approximately 1.7 times and cash made up of about 31.2% of all current assets, such high cash balance is required to meet repayment of both long and short term debts and the high cash requirement of the Group’s daily operation. The going average interest rate on the Group’s short term and long term bank borrowings in the financial year ended 31 December 2013 ranged from 6.0% to 6.7%. The Directors believe that it will be in the best interest of the Company and its Shareholders as a whole to utilise bank borrowing moderately but further bank borrowings in the magnitude of the Domestic Shares Subscription will not only significantly increase the financial obligation but also the related interest payment will also erode the operating result and the operating cash flow of the Company, hence the valuation of the Group will be adversely affected.
– 11 –
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
Furthermore, as the Group’s bank borrowing surges, banks will become more credit risk-averse when considering the Group’s new loan application, making it more difficult to raise funds through bank borrowings.
-
(ii) Rights issue of Domestic Shares and H Shares : The Directors had considered rights issue of both Domestic Shares and H Shares. The Directors had made preliminary enquiries to the relevant authorities regarding this option and came to the conclusion that there are uncertainties as to the timing in obtaining approval from relevant authorities on the rights issue of new Domestic Shares and H Shares.
-
(iii) Placement of new H Shares in Hong Kong : Like alternative (ii) above, such option requires the approval of the CSRC and the timing of its approval is uncertain. Even if it were approved, the size and turnover of the Company needs to be improved in order to allure quality investors.
Separately, to the best of knowledge of the Directors, Sample Group is also keen on subscribing the new Domestic Shares because it is fully aware of the difficulties involved in raising money by the Company through the above options and the potential opportunity that the Company might have if capital can be channeled in time to develop the existing intelligent city and intelligent transportation businesses.
Having considered the pros and cons of the above alternatives, the Directors believe that a subscription of new Domestic Shares by Sample Group is not only the most efficient and cost-effective way of raising the required funds but it also serves as a vote of confidence in the Company by the substantial Shareholder.
Overall, the net proceeds from the Domestic Shares Subscription will greatly improve the Group’s cash reserves, which is required to fulfill short term loan repayment, repay trade payables and satisfy cash requirement in its daily operation. In addition, the net proceeds will also improve the Company’s ability to raise further funds from banks.
As such, the Directors (including the non-executive Director and the independent non-executive Directors) believe that the Domestic Shares Subscription by Sample Group is the most efficient and cost-effective way of funding the Group’s capital requirement and is fair and reasonable and on normal commercial terms, and is in the interests of the Group and the Shareholders as a whole.
It is the intention of Sample Group that the Company will maintain its existing business. Sample Group has no intention to introduce any major changes to the existing operation of the Company. As at the Latest Practicable Date, Sample Group and the parties acting in concert or presumed to be acting in concert with it have no intention to re-deploy the fixed assets, or to discontinue the employment of the employees of the Group other than in the ordinary course of business of the Group. In addition, the Directors confirm that the Company does not have any plan or is not currently under any negotiation for the acquisition of new business as at the Latest Practicable Date.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD
5. Recent fund raising activities and use of proceeds
The Company has not conducted any fund raising activities through any issue of equity securities within 12 months immediately prior to the Latest Practicable Date. The Company expects to raise net proceeds of approximately RMB413.65 million (equivalent to approximately HK$521.20 million) from the proposed Domestic Shares Subscription. It is currently the intention of the Company to apply the net proceeds from the new Domestic Shares Subscription in the following manner:

PRINCIPAL FACTORS AND REASONS CONSIDERED
In arriving at our opinion in respect of the Domestic Shares Subscription, the Domestic Shares Subscription Agreement, the specific mandate, the proposed amendments to the Articles and the Whitewash Waiver, we have taken into consideration the following principal factors and reasons:
(1) Background of the Domestic Shares Subscription
Business overview of the Group
The Group is principally engaged in the provision of visual identification and Radio-frequency Identification (RFID) technologies based solutions to areas in intelligent transportation, custom and logistics services, health care and other sectors.
The following table summarises the consolidated financial results of the Group from its operations for each of the two years ended 31 December 2013 and the six months ended 30 June 2013 and 30 June 2014, which are extracted from the Company’s annual report for the year ended 31 December 2013 (the “ Annual Report 2013 ”) and its interim report for the six months ended 30 June 2014 (the “ Interim Report 2014 ”) respectively:
| Year ended | Year ended | Six months | Six months | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 31 December | 31 December | ended | ended | |
| 2012 | 2013 | 30 June 2013 | 30 June 2014 | |
| RMB’000 | RMB’000 | RMB’000 | RMB’000 | |
| (audited) | (audited) | (unaudited) | (unaudited) | |
| Total operating income | 737,690 | 787,768 | 357,414 | 387,824 |
| Operating profit | 182,684 | 132,692 | 70,599 | 73,949 |
| Profit/(loss) attributable | ||||
| to owners of the | ||||
| Company | 167,928 | 126,406 | 65,532 | 64,689 |
We note that the total operating income of the Group increased from approximately RMB737.7 million in the year ended 31 December 2012 to approximately RMB787.8 million in the year ended 31 December 2013 which was mainly attributable to the rapid growth of intelligent terminal sales in 2013. The Group recorded profit attributable to owners of the Company of approximately RMB126.4 million in the year ended 31 December 2013, decreased from approximately RMB167.9 million in the year ended 31 December 2012 which was mainly attributable to the increase in research and development cost during 2013 and the absence of the one-off investment income from the disposal of long term equity investment in 2012.
– 31 –
LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER
The total operating income of the Group increased approximately 8.5% from the six months ended 30 June 2013 of approximately RMB357.4 million to the six months ended 30 June 2014 of approximately RMB387.8 million which was attributable to the active development of the intelligent traffic business, the customs logistics business and the improvement of revenue from service business by the Group. The profit attributable to owners of the Company decreased from approximately RMB65.5 million for the six months ended 30 June 2013 to approximately RMB64.7 million for the six months ended 30 June 2014 which may be attributable to the rise in prices for sourcing of the raw materials and the increase in labour costs resulted in the further business development by the Group.
The following table summarises the consolidated financial position of the Group as at 31 December 2012 and 2013 and 30 June 2014, which is extracted from the Annual Report 2013 and the Interim Report 2014:

Financing alternatives available to the Group
As referred to in the Board Letter, the Company had not conducted any equity fund raising activities in the past 12 months immediately prior to the Latest Practicable Date.
Upon our enquiry with the Directors in this respect, we understand that the Directors have considered both debt and equity financing as fund raising methods for the Group. In relation to debt financing, the Directors advised us that debt financing may significantly increase the financial obligation and the related interest payment will also erode the operating result and the operating cash flow of the Company, hence the valuation of the Group may be adversely affected.
– 32 –
LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER
Furthermore, as the Group’s bank borrowing surges, banks will become more credit risk-averse when considering the Group’s new loan application, making it more difficult to raise funds through bank borrowings.
The Directors advised us that they had considered rights issue of both Domestic Shares and H Shares. The Directors had made preliminary enquiries to the relevant authorities regarding this option and came to the conclusion that there are uncertainties as to the timing in obtaining approval from relevant authorities on the rights issue of new Domestic Shares and H Shares.
Furthermore, placement of new H Shares in Hong Kong requires the approval of the CSRC and the timing of its approval is uncertain. Even if it were approved, the size and turnover of the Company needs to be improved in order to allure quality investors.
Having considered the above, the Directors are of the opinion that a subscription of new Domestic Shares by Sample Group is not only the most efficient and cost effective way of raising the required funds but it also serves as a vote of confidence in the Company by the substantial Shareholder.
Reason for the subscription of Domestic Shares
With reference to the Board Letter, the Company expects to raise net proceeds of approximately RMB413.65 million (equivalent to approximately HK$521.20 million) from the proposed Domestic Shares Subscription. It is currently the intention of the Company to apply the net proceeds from the new Domestic Shares Subscription in the following manner:
-
(i) approximately 60.68% or RMB251.00 million (equivalent to approximately HK$316.26 million) will be used for the expansion of the Group’s client base to increase the Group’s market shares in the areas of intelligent city and intelligent transportation and the execution of existing construction projects. Intelligent city and intelligent transportation involve the utilization of radio frequency identification technologies and communication technologies to collect, analyze and integrate city-wide vital statistics. These two business segments encompass the provision of services to meet demand arises from daily civic life, environmental protection, public safety and public transportation in cities such as Xu Zhou and Huai An;
-
(ii) approximately 20.07% or RMB83.00 million (equivalent to approximately HK$104.58 million) will be used to repay part of the Group’s short term bank borrowings;
-
(iii) approximately 11.17% or RMB46.20 million (equivalent to approximately HK$58.21 million) will be used for the expansion of the Group’s custom and logistic business, including the nation-wide promotion of the Group’s successfully researched safety intelligent lock
– 33 –
LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER
project and the integration of the Group’s self-developed major intelligent systems, logistic information system, intelligent card system, safety intelligent lock system and GPS monitoring system, to strength the competitiveness of the Group’s custom clearance monitoring services; and
- (iv) the remainder of approximately 8.09% or RMB33.45 million (equivalent to approximately HK$42.15 million) will be applied as additional working capital.
Our view
Based on the above and having considered in particular that:
-
(i) the Domestic Shares Subscription will greatly improve the Group’s cash reserves and the Company’s ability to raise further funds from banks; and
-
(ii) the subscription of new Domestic Shares by Sample Group is a more efficient and cost effective way of raising the required funds as compared to debt financing and other equity issuance alternatives given that debt financing may incur interest costs and other equity issuance alternatives of H Shares requires approval from relevant authorities including CSRC which timing of its approval is uncertain; and
-
(iii) the proceeds will be used to expand the Group’s existing business and to increase the Group’s market shares in the industry;
we consider that the proceeds from the subscription of new Domestic Shares will enhance the financial position and the liquidity of the Group which is fair and reasonable so far as the Independent Shareholders are concerned and are in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.
(2) Domestic Shares Subscription Agreement
Number of new Domestic Shares subscribed for
Sample Group will subscribe for an aggregate of 92,723,400 new Domestic Shares. Such new Domestic Shares represent approximately 41.38% of the existing issued share capital of the Company as at the Latest Practicable Date. Assuming there is no change to the issued share capital of the Company other than the issue of the new Domestic Shares pursuant to the Domestic Shares Subscription, immediately after completion of the new Domestic Shares Subscription, Sample Group will directly hold in aggregate 153,493,400 Domestic Shares, representing approximately 48.45% of the then enlarged total issued share capital of the Company. Such 92,723,400 new Domestic Shares will be issued under a specific mandate to be sought at the EGM and the Class Meetings.
– 34 –
LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER
Subscription price
RMB4.50 (equivalent to approximately HK$5.67) per new Domestic Share.
The Subscription Price is determined with reference to the average closing price of HK$6.425 per H Share (equivalent to approximately RMB5.099) during the Price Determination Period. The average closing price of the H Shares during the Price Determination Period is calculated by dividing the total turnover of the trading of the H Shares by the total trading volume of the H Shares during the Price Determination Period and allow for a slight liquidity discount of approximately 11.75% after arm’s length negotiation between the Company and Sample Group after taking into account that the Domestic Shares are not listed and therefore there is no publicly available transfer price. The resulting HK$ per Domestic Share is then converted to RMB at the exchange rate of RMB1 = HK$1.26 at the Price Determination Date.
Domestic Shares are not listed
The Company has not applied and does not have any intention to apply for the listing of the Domestic Shares (i.e. A Share listing) on any stock exchanges in the PRC in the near future. The transaction of the Domestic Shares Subscription are negotiated privately between a willing buyer and a willing seller.
– 35 –
LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER
Comparison of the Subscription Price with historical price of the H Shares
In order to assess the fairness and reasonableness of the Subscription Price, we have reviewed the daily closing price of the H Shares as quoted on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange within the one-year period prior to the Price Determination Date (the “ Review Period ”). We consider that such one-year period would be sufficient to smooth out the effects of any short-term fluctuations in the stock market for our analysis and therefore can serve as a benchmark for assessing the Subscription Price. The historical trading pattern of the Shares during the Review Period is illustrated as follows.

----- End of picture text -----
During the Review Period, the closing prices of the H Shares ranged from HK$6.02 per H Share to HK$7.80 per H Share. We note that the Subscription Price of HK$5.67 does not fall within the above price range and the Subscription Price represents a discount of approximately 5.8% over the lowest closing price of the H Shares of HK$6.02 during the Review Period.
Comparison of the Subscription Price with the net asset value per Share
We note that the Subscription Price of HK$5.67 per new Domestic Share, represents a discount of approximately 8.26% to the unaudited consolidated net asset value of the Group of approximately HK$6.18 per Share based on the unaudited consolidated net asset value of approximately RMB1,099,215,085 (equivalent to approximately HK$1,385,011,007) as at 30 June 2014 as disclosed in the Interim Report 2014 and based on the total number of 224,100,000 Shares in issue as at the Price Determination Date. While the Group is principally engaged in the provision of visual identification and RFID technologies based solutions to areas in intelligent traffic, customs and logistics services, health care and other sectors, we consider that the current market price of the Shares can

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER
directly reflect the value of the Shares that is generally perceived by the market having taken into account the principal business segments of the Group as well as the prevailing market conditions.
Comparable analysis
In order to assess the fairness and reasonableness of the terms of the Domestic Shares Subscription Agreement, to the best of our knowledge, we have searched for transactions that involved the subscription of new shares by connected persons of companies listed on the Main Board and Growth Enterprise Market of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange (the “ Comparables ”) within the Review Period. We consider that (i) the terms of the Comparables are determined under similar market conditions and sentiments as the Domestic Shares Subscription and they might be able to reflect the recent trend of open market transactions in the Hong Kong stock market; and (ii) there were 16 Comparables in the Review Period, representing a reasonable number of Comparables for the purpose of comparison. Accordingly, we are of the view that the Review Period forms an appropriate basis for our analysis and that the Comparables represent fair and representative samples. Shareholders should note that the size of shares subscription, businesses, operations and prospects of the Company are not the same as the Comparables and the Comparables are only used to provide a general reference for the recent general market practice on the subscription on new shares by connected persons. To the best of our knowledge and as far as we are aware of, we found in total 16 companies which met these criteria, which represent an exhaustive list for the purpose of this letter.

As shown in the above table, the subscription prices of the Comparables (i) ranged from a discount of approximately 54.16% to a premium of approximately 14.07% to the respective closing prices of their shares as at the last trading day prior to the release of the relevant announcements (the “ LTD Market Range ”); and (ii) ranged from a discount of approximately 54.79% to a premium of approximately 15.83% to the respective closing prices of their shares for the last 5 consecutive trading days prior to the release of the relevant announcements (the “ 5-Days Market Range ”). As noted above, the Subscription Price of HK$5.67
– 40 –
LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER
represents (i) a discount of approximately 5.81% to the closing price of HK$6.02 per H Share as at the Price Determination Date is lower than the average discount represented by the LTD Market Range; and (ii) a discount of approximately 6.19% to the closing price of HK$6.04 per H Share for the last 5 consecutive trading days prior to the Price Determination Date is lower than the average discount represented by the 5-Days Market Range, given that (i) there is a liquidity discount where the Domestic Shares are not listed and therefore there is no publicly available transfer price; and (ii) the discount represented by the Subscription Price is lower than the average discount represented by the LTD Market Range and 5-Days Market Range, we consider the Subscription Price is in line with the respective subscription price for the Comparables.
Moreover, considering the Group and the Comparables may be operating in entirely different industries with significant difference in their price-to-book ratios, we are of the view that the analysis on the premium/discount of the subscription price to the market price can form a more reasonable basis in order for us to assess the fairness and reasonableness of the terms of the Domestic Shares Subscription Agreement.
Our view on the Domestic Shares Subscription
Based on all of the above and having considered in particular that:
-
(i) the Domestic Shares are not listed and therefore there is no publicly available transfer price;
-
(ii) the discount represented by the Subscription Price falls within the LTD Market Range and the 5-Days Market Range respectively;
-
(iii) the discount represented by the Subscription Price is lower than the average discount represented by the LTD Market Range and 5-Days Market Range respectively;
-
(iv) the Subscription Price was a commercial decision arrived at after arm’s length negotiation between the Company and the Sample Group;
-
(v) the net proceeds from the Domestic Shares Subscription will greatly improve the Group’s cash reserves and the Company’s ability to raise further funds from banks;
-
(vi) the proceeds from the Domestic Shares Subscription are used for the partial repayment of debts and for the Group’s general working capital; and
-
(vii) there is no better financing alternatives available to the Group as discussed above;

APPENDIX I
- (V) Accounting treatments for business combinations involving entities under and not under common control
1. Business combinations involving entities under common control
The assets and liabilities acquired by the Group in business combination shall be measured at the carrying value of the acquiree on the date of combination. If there is an inconsistency between the accounting policies adopted by the acquirees and those of the Company, the adjustment will be made by the Group according to the Group’s accounting policies at the date of the combination, and the adjusted carrying value will be recognised on this basis.
The difference between the carrying amount of the net assets obtained and the carrying amount of the consideration paid for the combination (or total nominal value of the issued shares) is adjusted to capital premium in capital reserve. If the capital premium in capital reserve is not sufficient to absorb the difference, the remaining balance is adjusted against retained earnings.
The direct expenses incurred in business combination, including the audit fee, appraisal fee and legal service fee paid by the Group in connection with business combination shall be charged to the profit or loss when incurred.
The administrative charges and commission incurred upon issuance of equity securities in business combination shall be offset against the premium income from equity securities. If such amount cannot be offset by premium income, it shall be adjusted in retained earnings.
2. Business combinations involving entities not under common control
The assets paid and liabilities incurred or committed as a consideration of business combination by the Group were measured at fair value on the date of acquisition and the difference between the fair value and its carrying value shall be charged to the profit or loss for the period.
The Group shall allocate the cost of combination on the date of acquisition and recognize the fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities acquired from the acquiree.
Where the cost of combination is higher than the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired from the acquiree in business combination, the Group shall recognize such difference as goodwill; where the cost of combination is less than the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired from the acquiree in business combination, such difference shall be charged to the profit or loss for the period after review.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP
APPENDIX I
As for the assets other than intangible assets acquired from the acquiree in a business combination (not limited to the assets which have been recognized by the acquiree), if the economic benefits brought by them are likely to flow into the Group and their fair values can be measured reliably, they shall be separately recognized and measured in light of their fair values; if the fair value of any intangible asset can be measured reliably, it shall be separately recognized as an intangible asset and shall be measured in light of its fair value; As for the liabilities other than contingent liabilities acquired from the acquiree, if the performance of the relevant obligations are likely to result in any out-flow of economic benefits from the Group, and their fair values can be measured reliably, they shall be separately recognized and measured in light of their fair values; As for the contingent liabilities of the acquiree obtained in a combination, if their fair values can be measured reliably, they shall separately recognized as liabilities and shall be measured in light of their fair values.
In a business combination, the acquiree’s deductible temporary differences obtained by the Group are not recognised if the deductible temporary differences do not satisfy the criteria for recognition of deferred tax assets on the date of acquisition. The Company recognises the relevant deferred tax assets and reduces goodwill accordingly if within 12 months of the acquisition date, new or updated information indicates that on the date of combination, the obtained deferred tax benefit is expected to be realised in future periods. If the goodwill is insufficient to be deducted, any remaining deferred tax benefits shall be recognised in profit or loss for the current period. Save as above, all other acquired deferred tax assets recognised under business combination shall be charged to profit or loss for the current period.
For business combinations involving entities not under common control, the agency fee paid by the acquirer such as audit, legal service and evaluation consultation and other management fees shall be recognised as the profit or loss in the period when the costs are incurred; the transaction costs for the equity securities or debt securities issued by the acquirer as the combination consideration shall be included in the amount of initial recognition of the equity securities or debt securities.
(VI) Preparation of consolidated financial statements
The scope of consolidation of the consolidated financial statements of the Group is based on controlling interests, and all the subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements.
The subsidiaries that are within the scope of the consolidation shall have the same accounting policies and the accounting periods with those of the Company. In preparing the consolidated financial statements, where the accounting policies and the accounting periods are inconsistent between the Company and subsidiaries, the financial statements of subsidiaries are adjusted in accordance with the accounting policies and accounting period of the Company. For subsidiaries acquired from a business combination involving entities not under common control, the individual financial statements of the subsidiaries are adjusted based on the fair value of the identifiable net assets on the date of acquisition. Based on the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries, the consolidated financial statements are prepared by the Company according to other relevant information and after the long-term equity investments in the subsidiaries are adjusted in accordance with the equity method.
When consolidating the financial statements, the effects of intra-transactions between the Company and its subsidiaries, and among subsidiaries on the consolidated balance sheet, the consolidated income statement, the consolidated cash flow statement and the consolidated statement of changes in equity shall be offset.
– 69 –
FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP
APPENDIX I
Profit or loss attributable to minority shareholders of a subsidiary is presented separately in the consolidated balance sheet within shareholders’ equity and in the consolidated income statement below the net profit line item. Where losses attributable to the minority shareholders of a subsidiary exceed the minority shareholders’ interest entitled in the shareholders’ equity of the subsidiary at the beginning of the period, the excess is allocated against the minority shareholders interest.
For acquisition of subsidiaries due to business combination involving entities under common control during the reporting period, the opening balance of the consolidated balance sheet shall be adjusted; the revenue, expense and profit of such subsidiaries from the beginning to the end of the reporting period when the merger occurs are included in the consolidated income statement; the cash flows of such subsidiaries from the beginning to the end of the reporting period when the merger occurs are included in the consolidated cash flow statement, and the comparative figures of the financial statements should be adjusted simultaneously as if the consolidated reporting entity had been in existence since prior periods.
For acquisition of subsidiaries due to business combination involving entities not under common control during the reporting period, the opening balance of consolidated balance sheet needs not be adjusted; the revenue, expense and profit of such subsidiaries from the date of acquisition to the end of the reporting period are included in the consolidated income statement; the cash flows of such subsidiaries from the date of acquisition to the end of the reporting period are included in the consolidated cash flow statement. In a business combination involving entities not under common control achieved in stages, the Company remeasures its previously held equity interest in the acquiree on the acquisition date in light of the fair value of such equity interest on the date of acquisition. The difference between the fair value and the carrying value is recognised as investment income for the period. If other comprehensive income was recognised regarding the equity interest previously held in the acquiree before the acquisition date, the relevant other comprehensive income is transferred to investment income in the period in which the acquisition occurs.
For disposal of subsidiaries during the reporting period, the revenue, expense and profit of such subsidiaries from the beginning of the period to the date of disposal are included in the consolidated income statement; the cash flows of such subsidiaries from the beginning of the period to the date of disposal are included in the consolidated cash flow statement. Where control of a subsidiary is lost due to partial disposal of the equity investment held in a subsidiary, or any other reasons, the remaining equity investment is remeasured to fair value at the date in which control is lost. The sum of consideration received from disposal of equity investment and the fair value of the remaining equity investment, net of the Company’s previous share of the subsidiary’s net assets recorded from the acquisition date, is recognised in investment income in the period in which control is lost. Other comprehensive income related to the previous equity investment in the subsidiary, is transferred to investment income when control is lost.
Where the Company acquired a minority interest, the difference between the newly acquired long-term equity investments and the newly acquired share of the subsidiary’s identifiable net assets is adjusted to the capital reserve within the capital premium in the consolidated balance sheet. Where the Company partially disposed an investment of a subsidiary that do not result in a loss of control, the difference between the proceeds and the corresponding share of the net assets of the subsidiary is adjusted to the capital reserve within the capital premium in the consolidated balance sheet. If the capital premium of the capital reserve is insufficient, any excess is adjusted to retained profits.

The interest or cash dividend which was gained in the period are recognized as investment income. At the balance sheet date, the variation in the fair value of the financial asset or financial liability shall be included in the profit or loss for the period.
When the said financial assets or financial liabilities are on disposal, the difference between the fair value and the amount of initial recognition shall be recognized as investment income; meanwhile, the profits and losses arising from the variation in fair value shall be adjusted.
(2) Held-to-maturity investments
Held-to-maturity investments are initially measured at fair value when obtained (except for interests on bonds of which the maturity interest is not drawn) plus relevant transaction costs.
Interest income is calculated according to the amortised cost and effective interest rate and recorded into investment income. The effective interest rate, ascertained when initially obtained, shall remain unchanged within the predicted term of existence or within a shorter applicable term.
When disposed, the difference between the consideration obtained and the carrying amount of the investment shall be recorded into investment income.

APPENDIX I
- (3) Accounts receivable
The receivables that are formed in sale of goods or rendering of services to external parties, and the receivables, except for the debt instruments quoted in an active market, due to the Group from other entities, including accounts receivable, other receivables, notes receivable, prepayments, etc., are initially recognised at the consideration of the contract or agreement to be received from the buyers. Accounts receivable that are of a financing nature are initially recognised at their present value.
Upon recovery or disposal of accounts receivable, the difference between the consideration obtained and the carrying amount is charged to profit or loss for the period.
- (4) Available-for-sale financial assets
Available-for-sale financial assets are initially measured at fair value when obtained (except for cash dividends which are declared but not distributed or interests on bonds of which the maturity interest is not drawn) plus relevant transaction costs.
The interests or cash dividends to be obtained during the period the availablefor-sale financial assets are held shall be recorded into investment income. By the end of the reporting period, financial assets are measured at fair value, and the change in fair value shall be recorded into capital reserves (other capital reserves).
When disposed of, the difference between the consideration obtained and the carrying amount of the financial assets shall be recorded into investment income; meanwhile, the corresponding portion of accumulated change in fair value previously recorded into shareholders’ equity shall be transferred to profit or loss.
- (5) Other financial liabilities
Other financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value plus relevant transaction costs, and subsequently measured at amortised cost.
3. Recognition and measurement of transfer of financial assets
A financial asset shall be derecognised while the Group has transferred nearly all the risks and rewards related to the ownership of the financial asset to the transferee, and it shall not be derecognised if the Group has retained nearly all the risks and rewards related to the ownerships of the financial asset.
The substance-over-form principle shall be adopted while making a judgment on whether the transfer of financial assets satisfies the above conditions for termination of recognition. The transfer of financial assets could be classified into entire transfer and partial transfer. If the transfer of an entire financial asset satisfies the conditions for termination of recognition, the difference between the two amounts below shall be recorded into profit or loss for the period:
-
(1) The carrying amount of the financial asset transferred;
-
(2) The consideration received as a result of the transfer, plus the accumulative amount of the change in fair value previously recorded into the shareholders’ equities (in cases where the transferred financial asset is available-for-sale financial asset).
– 73 –
FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP
APPENDIX I
If the partial transfer of financial assets satisfies the conditions for termination of recognition, the overall carrying amount of the transferred financial asset shall be apportioned according to their respective relative fair value between the portion of derecognised part and the remaining part, and the difference between the two amounts below shall be recorded into profit or loss for the current period:
-
(1) The carrying amount of the derecognised portion;
-
(2) The sum of consideration of the derecognised portion and the corresponding portion of accumulated change in fair value previously recorded into shareholders’ equity (in cases where the transferred financial assets are available-for-sale financial assets).
Financial assets will still be recognised if they fail to satisfy the conditions for termination of recognition, with the consideration received recognised as a financial liability.
4. Conditions for derecognition of financial liabilities
When the current obligation under a financial liability is completely or partially discharged, the whole or relevant portion of the liability is derecognized; an agreement is entered between the Group and a creditor to replace the original financial liabilities with new financial liabilities with substantially different terms, derecognize the original financial liabilities as well as recognize the new financial liabilities.
If all or part of the contract terms of the original financial liabilities are substantially amended, the original financial liabilities will be derecognized in full or in part, and the financial liabilities whose terms have been amended shall be recognised as a new financial liability.
When financial liabilities is derecognized in full or in part, the difference between the carrying amount of the financial liabilities derecognized and the consideration paid (including transferred non-cash assets or new financial liability) is recognized in profit or loss for the current period.
Where the Group repurchases part of its financial liabilities, the carrying amount of such financial liabilities will be allocated according to the relative fair value between the continued recognised part and derecognised part on the repurchase date. The difference between the carrying amount of the financial liabilities derecognized and the consideration paid (including transferred non-cash assets or new financial liability) is recognized in profit or loss for the current period.
5. Method of determining the fair values of financial assets and liabilities
All the financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value of the Group refer to the quotation in an active market at the end of the period.

6. Impairment provision of financial assets (excluding accounts receivable)
The Group shall assess the carrying amount of financial assets other than those at fair value through profit or loss at the balance sheet date. If there is objective evidence that the financial asset is impaired, the Company shall make provision of any impairment.
(1) Impairment provision for available-for-sale financial asset:
While the fair value of available-for-sale financial asset falls significantly, or judged by the Company that descending trend is not temporary after taking into account related data comprehensively at the end of the period, they will be recognised as impaired, the cumulative loss arising from decline in fair value that had been recognised directly in the shareholders’ equity shall be removed from the shareholders’ equity and recognised as impairment or loss.
If, after an impairment loss has been recognised on an available-for-sale debt instrument, the fair value of the debt instrument increases in a subsequent period and the increase can be objectively related to an event occurring after the impairment loss was recognised, the impairment loss shall be reversed, with the amount of the reversal recognised in the profit or loss for the current period.
Impairment losses recognised for an investment in an available-for-sale equity instrument shall not be reversed through profit or loss.
(2) Impairment provision for held-to-maturity investments:
The measurement of the impairment loss for held-to-maturity investments shall be treated with reference to that for the accounts receivable.
(X) Accounts receivable
- 1 Accounts receivable that are individually significant and subject to separate provision
Individually significant accounts receivable: the amount of accounts receivable are individually more than RMB10 million (including RMB10 million) and other receivables are individually more than RMB5 million (including RMB5 million).
Individually significant accounts receivable are subject to separate impairment test, and if there are objective evidence that they are impaired, the impairment loss and the provision for bad debts are determined based on the amount of the present value of the future cash flows expected to be derived from the receivables below the carrying amount. Accounts receivable which are not impaired according to the separate impairment test, shall be categorised into the corresponding groups for provision of bad debts.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP
APPENDIX I
- 2 Accounts receivable that are subject to provision by groups
Basis for determination of groups is as follow:
Group 1 Accounts receivable due from governments Group 2 Accounts receivable due from non-governments Group 3 Accounts receivable within the scope of combination Group 4 Retention monies receivable Group 5 Other receivables
Methods for provision of bad debts by groups
Group 1 Discounting method Group 2 Aging analysis method Group 3 No provisions are made Group 4 No provisions are made Group 5 Aging analysis method
Where aging analysis method is used for provision of bad debts for groups:
| Provision ratios | Provision ratios | |
|---|---|---|
| for accounts | for other | |
| Aging | receivable (%) | receivables (%) |
| Within 1 year (including 1 year) | 3 | 5 |
| 1 to 2 years | 8 | 10 |
| 2 to 3 years | 30 | 50 |
| Over 3 years | 100 | 100 |
Accounting method is used for provision of bad debts for groups which are accounts receivable due from governments. The customer groups of governments refer to the customs, public security and traffic departments of the PRC government. For these customer groups , according to historical information, the average terms of credit is 3 to 5 years, and thus their liabilities are discounted at the interest rate of the PRC government bond in the same period to calculate the recoverable amount. Comparison will be made between the discounted value and the carrying amount. Provision will be made for bad debts if there is any impairment.
- 3 Accounts receivable which are individually insignificant but subject to separate provision
For individually insignificant accounts receivable, if there is objective evidence that the receivables are impaired at the end of the period, the impairment loss and the provision for bad debts are determined based on the amount of the present value of the future cash flows expected to be derived from the receivables below the carrying amount.
At the end of the period, notes receivable and prepayments which are not classified into groups with similar credit risks characteristics are subject to separate impairment test. If there is objective evidence that the receivables are impaired, the impairment loss and the provision for bad debts are determined based on the amount of the present value of the future cash flows expected to be derived from the receivables below the carrying amount. If there is no impairment identified according to the impairment test, no provision for bad debts shall be recognised.

(XI) Inventories
1. Classification of inventories
Inventories include goods in transit, raw materials, circulating materials, commodity stocks and goods in processing contract and assets formed by construction contracts, etc.
2. Cost of inventories
Cost of inventories is determined using the weighted average method.
3. Basis for the determination of net realisable value and the method of provisions for impairment of inventories
At the end of the period, after a thorough inspection of the inventories, provision for decline in value of inventories will be made and adjusted at the lower of the cost and the net realizable value.
Net realisable value of held-for-sale commodity stocks, such as goods-in-stock, and held-for-sale raw materials, during the normal course of production and operation, shall be determined by their estimated sales less the related selling expenses and taxes; the net realizable value of material inventories, which need to be processed, during the normal course of production and operation, shall be determined by the amount after deducting the estimated cost of completion, estimated selling expenses and relevant taxes from the estimated selling price of finished goods; the net realizable value of inventories held for execution of sales contracts or labor contracts shall be calculated on the ground of the contracted price. If an enterprise holds more inventories than the quantity stipulated in the sales contract, the net realizable value of the exceeding part shall be calculated on the ground of general selling price.
Decline in value of inventories is made on an item-by-item basis at the end of the period. For large quantity and low value items of inventories, provision may be made based on categories of inventories; for items of inventories relating to a product line that is produced and marketed in the same geographical area and with the same or similar end uses or purposes, which cannot be practicable evaluated separately from other items in that product line, provision for decline in value of inventories may be determined on an aggregate basis.
Should the factors causing any write-down of the inventories do not exist anymore, the amount of write-down will be recovered and be reversed from the provision for diminution in value of inventories that has been made. The reversed amount will be included in the current profits and losses.
Unless there is evidence clearly shows that abnormality in market price exists as of the balance sheet date, the net realisable value of inventories is determined based on the market price as of the balance sheet date.

(XII) Long-term equity investments
1. Determination of cost of investment
- (1) Long-term equity investments formed through business combination of entities
For business combinations involving entities under common control: where the Group pays cash, transfers non-cash assets, bear debts or issue equity securities as consideration of combinations, the initial investment cost of long-term equity investments are the share with reference to the book value of the shareholders’ equity of the acquiree on the date of combinations. Capital premium within the capital reserve is adjusted by differences between initial investment cost of long-term equity investments and the considerations paid; amounts that cannot be sufficiently released by the capital premium in the capital reserve serve the purpose of adjusting retained earnings. The direct expenses incurred in business combination, including the audit fee, appraisal fee and legal service fee paid in connection with business combination shall be charged to the profit or loss for the current period when incurred.
Business combinations involving entities not under common control: the cost of the combination ascertained on the date of acquisition shall be taken as the initial investment cost of the long-term equity investments. 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 securities issued by the acquirer to be paid by the acquirer, in exchange for control of the acquire. The agency fee such as audit, legal service and evaluation consultation and other management fees incurred by the acquirer for the business combination shall be charged to the profit or loss for the period when incurred. As equity or bond securities are issued by the acquirer as consideration, any attributable transaction cost is included in their initial costs. When the business combination is achieved in stages through a number of exchange transactions, the aggregate of the book value of the previously held equity interest in the acquiree before the acquisition date and the new investment cost on the date of acquisition, shall be taken as the initial investment cost of the long-term equity investments. Where the Group regards the contingent consideration agreed in the combination agreement as part of the consideration of the transfer in business combinations, such contingent consideration shall be included in the cost of business combinations at its fair value on the date of acquisition.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP
APPENDIX I
- (2) Long-term equity investments acquired by other means
The initial cost of investment of a long-term equity investment obtained by the Company by cash payment shall be the purchase cost which is actually paid.
The initial cost of investment of a long-term equity investment obtained by the Company by means of issuance of equity securities shall be the fair value of the equity securities issued.
The initial cost of investment of a long-term equity investment contributed by the investors shall be the value stipulated in the investment contract or agreement (except for cash dividends or profits which are declared but not distributed) except for cases where the value stipulated in the contract or agreement is not fair.
If the non-monetary assets transaction is commercial in nature and the fair value of the assets received or surrendered can be reliably measured, the initial cost of investment of a long-term equity investment received the non-monetary assets transaction, shall be determined on the basis of the fair value of the assets surrendered, unless there are concrete evidence that the fair value of the assets received is more reliable; For non-monetary assets transaction which does not meet the above conditions, the initial cost of investment of a long-term equity investment received shall be the book value of the assets surrendered and the relevant taxes and expenses payable.
The initial cost of investment of a long-term equity investment obtained by the Company through debt restructurings shall be ascertained based on their fair value.
2. Subsequent measurement and recognition of profit or loss
(1) Subsequent measurement
Long-term equity investment in subsidiaries of the Company is accounted for by cost method, subject to adjustment pursuant to equity method during preparation of the consolidated financial statement.
Cost method is used to account for a long-term equity investment where the investor does not have joint control or significant influence over the investee, and the investment is not quoted in an active market and its fair value cannot be reliably measured.
Long-term equity investments with joint control or significant influence on the investee are accounted for using equity method. Where the initial investment cost of a long-term equity investment 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 initial investment cost; 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, the difference shall be charged to profit or loss for the current period.
Treatment of the changes in shareholders’ equity other than the share of the investee’s net profit and loss: As for the changes in shareholders’ equity other than the share of the investee’s net profit and loss, the Company shall calculate its proportion, provided that the Company’s proportion of shareholding in the investee remains unchanged, adjust the book value of the long-term equity investment and increase or decrease the capital reserve (other capital reserve).

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP
APPENDIX I
(2) Recognition of profit or loss
Under the cost method, except for the actual consideration paid for the acquisition of investment or the declared but not yet distributed cash dividends or profits which are included in the consideration, investment gains is recognised as the Company’ shares of the cash dividends or profits declared by the investee.
Under the equity method, on the basis of the carrying amount of net profits of the investees, the following will be considered: Where the accounting policies and accounting periods of the investees are inconsistent with those adopted by the Company, the financial statements of the investees shall be adjusted according to the Company’s accounting policies and accounting periods; the effects of the amount of depletion or amortization or the relevant assets impairment provision provided based on the fair values of fixed assets or intangible assets of the investees when acquiring the investment; appropriate adjustments are made to the matters, such as offsetting the unrealized inter-transactions occurred between the Company and associates and jointly controlled entities, the Company’s share of net profits or losses in the investees shall be recognised.
In recognising the Company’s share of losses incurred by the investees, treatment shall be made in the following order: First, to reduce the carrying amount of the long-term equity investment. Second, where the carrying amount of the longterm equity investment is not sufficient to reduce, the investment loss shall continue to be recognised to the extent of the carrying amount of other long-term equities that in substance constitute the net investment in the investees, and reduce the carrying amount of long-term receivables and other items. Finally, after the above treatments, where the enterprise still bears additional obligations as stipulated in the investment contract or agreement, the expected liabilities shall be recognised based on the obligations expected to be undertaken, and charged to the investment loss for the current period. Where the investees realize profits in subsequent periods, after deducting its share of unrecognized losses, the Company shall treat in a reverse order with the above: write down the carrying amount of expected liabilities expected, restore the carrying amount of other long-term equities that in substance constitute the net investment in the investees and long-term equity investment, and recognize investment income simultaneously.
During the period the investments are held, where the investees was able to provide consolidated financial statements, accounting shall be made based on the net profits or changes in other equities in the consolidated financial statements.
3. Basis for determination of joint control and significant influence over the investees
Joint control is the contractually agreed sharing of control over an economic activity, and exists only when the significant financial and operating decisions relating to the activity require the unanimous consent of the parties sharing control. Where the investor can jointly control over the investee with other parties, the investee is joint venture of the investor and the said parties.
Significant influence refers to the power to participate in making decisions on the financial and operating policies of an enterprise, but not the power to control, or jointly control, the formulation of such policies with other parties. Where the investor can exercise significant influence over the investee, the investee is an associate of the investor.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP
APPENDIX I
4. Impairment test method and impairment provision
Where a long-term equity investment is of below significant influence and is not quoted in an active market and its fair value cannot be reliably measured, its impairment loss shall be determined based on the difference between its carrying amount and the present value determined by discounting its future cash flows at a the prevailing market yield for similar financial assets.
For other long-term equity investments for which there are any indicators of impairment other than the goodwill arising from the business combinations, if the results of the measurement of the recoverable amount indicate the recoverable amount of such long-term equity investment is lower than its carrying amount, such difference shall be recognised as impairment loss.
Once the impairment loss for the long-term equity investment is recognised, it shall not be reversed.
(XIII) Fixed assets
1. Conditions for recognition of fixed assets
Fixed assets 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 asset is recognised when it meets the following conditions:
-
(1) it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the fixed asset will flow to the enterprise;
-
(2) and its cost can be reliably measured.
2. Method for depreciation of different fixed assets
Fixed assets are depreciated by categories using the straight-line method, and the annual depreciation rates are determined by categories based upon their estimated useful lives and their estimated residual values. Where the parts of a fixed asset have different useful lives or cause economic benefits for the enterprise in different ways, different depreciation rates or depreciation methods shall apply, and each part is depreciated separately.
For fixed assets leased under finance lease, if it can be reasonably determined that the ownership of the leased asset can be acquired upon the expiry of the lease term, depreciation policies in line with the fixed assets will be adopted for depreciation during the remaining useful life of the leased asset. If it cannot be reasonably determined that the ownership of the leased asset can be acquired upon the expiry of the lease term, depreciation polices in line with the fixed assets will be adopted for depreciation during the shorter of the lease term and the remaining useful life of the leased asset.
– 81 –
FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP
APPENDIX I
The useful life and annual depreciation rate of each category of fixed assets are as follows:
| Useful lives | Estimated | Annual | |
|---|---|---|---|
| of depreciation | residual | depreciation | |
| Category | (years) | value (%) | rate (%) |
| Buildings and structures | 30 | 5 | 3.17 |
| Machinery and equipment | 10 | 5 | 9.50 |
| Transportation equipment | 5 | 5 | 19.00 |
| Electronic and office equipment | 3-10 | 5 | 9.5-31.67 |
3. Impairment testing methods and provision for impairment methods on fixed assets
The Group will judge if there is any indication of impairment as at the end of each period in respect of fixed assets.
If there is any indicator that a fixed asset may be impaired, recoverable amount shall be estimated. The recoverable amount of a fixed 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 fixed asset.
If the recoverable amount of a fixed asset is less than its carrying amount, the carrying value of the fixed asset will be reduced to its recoverable amount. The writtendown amount will be included in profit and loss for the period and the corresponding impairment loss on fixed assets will be provided for.
After the impairment loss for the fixed asset is recognised, the corresponding adjustment will be made to the depreciation of the impaired fixed asset in subsequent periods, so as to amortise systematically the adjusted carrying amount (net of estimated net residual value) of the fixed asset over its remaining useful lives.
Once an impairment loss is made for a fixed asset, it shall not be reversed in subsequent accounting periods.
Where there is any indicator that a fixed asset may be impaired, the recoverable amount of a fixed asset will be assessed by the Group on an individual basis. If assessment of the recoverable amount for individual assets is difficult, the recoverable amount of an asset group will be determined based on the asset group to which the asset belongs.
4. Recognition basis and measurement method of fixed assets under finance lease
Where any one of the following conditions is provided in the lease agreement between the Group and the lessor, assets under finance lease will be recognised:
-
(1) upon the expiry of lease, the ownership of the leased asset is transferred to the Group;
-
(2) The Company has the option to purchase the leased asset, the purchase consideration entered into is expected to be far less than the fair value of the leased asset upon the exercise of the option;
-
(3) the lease term accounts for the majority of the useful life of the leased asset;
-
(4) the present value of the minimum lease payment upon the commencement of the lease is substantially the same as the fair value of the leased asset.
– 82 –
FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP
APPENDIX I
On the commencement of the lease, the leased asset shall be recorded at an amount equal to the lower of the fair value of the leased asset and the present value of the minimum lease payments, and the minimum lease payments shall be recorded as the carrying amount of long-term payables. The difference between the recorded amount of the leased asset and the minimum lease payments shall be accounted for as unrecognised finance charge.
5. Explanation on other matters
Fixed assets of the Group are initially measured at cost. The cost of a purchased fixed asset comprises the purchase price, import custom duties and other related taxes, and any directly attributable expenditures for bringing the asset to working condition for its intended use. The cost of a self-constructed fixed asset comprises those expenditures necessarily incurred for bringing the asset to working condition for its intended use. The cost of a fixed asset contributed by an investor will be determined in accordance with the value stipulated in the investment contract or agreement, whereas the value stipulated in the contract or agreement is not fair, the fair value shall be the cost. Where the payment for a fixed asset is delayed beyond the normal credit conditions, which is equivalent to financing in nature, the cost of fixed assets shall be recognized on the basis of the present value of the purchase price. Fixed assets will be derecognized on disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. When a fixed asset is sold, transferred, retired or damaged, the Company shall recognise the amount of any proceeds on disposal of the asset net of the carrying amount and related taxes in profit or loss for the current period.
(XIV) Construction in progress
1. Types of constructions in progress
Constructions in progress are accounted for by individual projects.
2. Criteria and time point for construction in progress being transferred to the fixed asset
Construction in progress is measured at all the expenditures incurred to bring the fixed assets ready for their intended use. If the construction in progress of fixed assets constructed are ready for their intended use but the final account of completed project has not been issued, it should be transferred to fixed assets at an estimated cost according to the construction budget, construction price or actual cost, and depreciation should be provided according to deprecation policy for fixed assets from the date when the assets are ready for their intended use. When the final account of completed project is issued, the estimated cost will be adjusted according to the actual cost, while the original depreciation charge will not be adjusted.
3. Impairment testing methods and provision for impairment methods on construction in progress
The Group will judge if there is any indication of impairment as at the end of each period in respect of construction in progress.
Where there is any indicator that construction in progress may be impaired, its recoverable amount will be assessed. Where there is any indicator that a construction in progress may be impaired, the recoverable amount of the construction in progress will be assessed by the Group on an individual basis. If assessment of the recoverable amount for individual constructions in progress is difficult, the recoverable amount of a construction in progress will be determined based on the asset group to which the construction in progress belongs.
– 83 –
FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP
APPENDIX I
The recoverable amount of a construction in progress 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 construction in progress.
If the recoverable amount of a construction in progress is less than its carrying amount, the carrying value of the construction in progress will be reduced to its recoverable amount. The written-down amount will be included in profit and loss for the period and the corresponding impairment loss on the construction in progress will be provided for.
Once an impairment loss is made for a construction in progress, it shall not be reversed in subsequent accounting periods.
(XV) Borrowing costs
1. Criteria for recognition of capitalised borrowing costs
Borrowing costs refers to the borrowing interests, amortisation of discounts or premiums, ancillary costs and exchange differences arising from foreign currency borrowings, etc.
For borrowing costs incurred by the Group that are directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of assets qualified for capitalisation, the costs will be capitalised and included in the costs of the related assets. Other borrowing costs shall be recognised as expense in the period in which they are incurred and included in profit or loss for the current period.
Assets qualified for capitalisation are assets (fixed assets, investment property, inventories, etc.) that necessarily take a substantial period of time for acquisition, construction or production to get ready for their intended use or sale.
Capitalisation of borrowing costs begins when the following three conditions are fully satisfied:
-
(1) expenditures for the assets (including cash paid, transferred non-currency assets or expenditure for holding debt liability for the acquisition, construction or production of assets qualified for capitalisation) have been incurred;
-
(2) borrowing costs have been incurred;
-
(3) acquisition, construction or production that are necessary to enable the asset reach its intended usable or saleable condition have commenced.
2. Capitalisation period of borrowing costs
The capitalisation period shall refer to the period between the commencement and the cessation of capitalization of borrowing costs, excluding the period in which capitalisation of borrowing costs is temporarily suspended.
Capitalisation of borrowing costs shall be suspended during periods in which the qualifying asset under acquisition and construction or production ready for the intended use or sale.
– 84 –
FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP
APPENDIX I
If part of an asset being acquired, constructed or produced has been completed respectively and put into use individually, capitalization of such part of borrowing costs should be suspended.
If different parts of the assets acquired, constructed or produced are completed separately, but such asset will not be ready for the intended use or sale until all parts have been completed, then the borrowing costs will be capitalized until the completion of all parts of the said asset.
3. Suspension of capitalisation 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; if the interruption is a necessary step for making the qualifying asset under acquisition and construction or production ready for the intended use or sale, the capitalisation of the borrowing costs shall continue. The borrowing costs incurred during such period shall be recognised as profits and losses of the current period. When the acquisition and construction or production of the asset resumes, the capitalisation of borrowing costs commences.
4. Calculation of capitalisation of borrowing costs
The interest costs of specifically borrowed loans (net of the interest income earned on the unused borrowing loans as a deposit in the bank or as a temporary investment) and their ancillary costs are capitalized before the qualifying asset under acquisition and construction or production is ready for the intended use or sale.
The to-be-capitalised amount of interests on the general borrowing shall be calculated and determined by multiplying the weighted average asset disbursement (based on the average for each month end) of the part of the accumulative asset disbursements minus the specifically borrowed loans by the capitalisation rate of the general borrowing used. The capitalisation rate shall be calculated and determined according to the weighted average interest rate of the general borrowing.
Where there is any discount or premium for the borrowings, the amount of discounts or premiums that shall be amortized during each accounting period shall be determined based on the effective interest method and an adjustment shall be made to the amount of interests in each period.
(XVI) Intangible assets
1. Valuation method of intangible assets
- (1) Intangible assets are initially measured at cost upon acquisition;
The costs of an externally purchased intangible asset include the purchase price, relevant taxes and expenses paid, and other expenditures directly attributable to putting the asset into condition for its intended use. If the payment for an intangible asset is delayed beyond the normal credit conditions and it is of financing nature in effect, the cost of the intangible assets shall be ascertained based on the present value of the purchase price.
– 85 –
FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP
APPENDIX I
The amount of intangible assets acquired from debt restructuring should be recorded at the fair value of such intangible assets, and the difference between the carrying amount of the restructured debt and the fair value of the intangible assets acquired from debt restructuring should be included in the profit or loss for the current period.
If the non-monetary assets transaction is commercial in nature and the fair value of the assets received or surrendered can be reliably measured, the intangible assets received in the non-monetary assets transaction, shall be measured on the basis of the fair value of the assets surrendered, unless there are concrete evidence that the fair value of the assets received is more reliable; For non-monetary assets transaction which does not meet the above conditions, the cost of intangible assets received shall be the book value of the assets surrendered and the relevant taxes and expenses payable, and the profit or loss will not be recognised.
The intangible assets acquired in the business combinations involving entities under common control by way of absorption shall be recorded at the carrying amount of the acquirer; and the intangible assets acquired in the business combinations involving entities not under common control by way of absorption shall be recorded at its fair value.
The cost of the internally developed intangible assets includes: the costs of the material consumed for developing the intangible assets, labor costs, registration fees, amortisation of other patents and licenses and capitalised interest expenses in the development phase, and other costs which are directly attributable to bringing the intangible assets ready for their intended use.
- (2) Subsequent measurement
The Company shall analyse and judge the useful life of intangible assets upon acquisition.
As for intangible assets with a finite useful life, they are amortised using the straight-line method over the term in which economic benefits are brought to the Group; If the term in which economic benefits are brought to the Group by an intangible asset cannot be estimated, the intangible asset shall be taken as an intangible asset with indefinite useful life, and shall not be amortised.
2. Estimated useful lives for the intangible assets with finite useful life:

APPENDIX I
3. Judgement basis for the intangible assets with indefinite useful lives
As of the balance sheet date, there weren’t intangible assets with indefinite useful lives.
4. Impairment provision for intangible assets
For the intangible assets with finite useful life, if there is an obvious sign of impairment, an impairment test will be conducted at the period-end.
For the intangible assets with infinite useful life, an impairment test will be conducted at each period-end.
An impairment test is conducted for the intangible assets to estimate its recoverable amount. Where there is any indicator that an intangible asset may be impaired, the recoverable amount of an intangible asset will be assessed by the Group on an individual basis. If assessment of the recoverable amount for individual assets is difficult, the recoverable amount of an asset group will be determined based on the asset group to which the intangible asset belongs.
The recoverable amount of an intangible 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 intangible asset.
If the recoverable amount of an intangible asset is less than its carrying amount, the carrying value of the fixed asset will be reduced to its recoverable amount. The writtendown amount will be included in profit and loss for the period and the corresponding impairment loss on intangible asset will be provided for.
After the impairment loss for the intangible asset is recognised, the corresponding adjustment will be made to the depreciation or amortization costs of the impaired intangible asset in subsequent periods, so as to amortise systematically the adjusted carrying amount (net of estimated net residual value) of the intangible asset over its remaining useful lives.
Once the impairment loss is recognised for an intangible asset, it will not be reversed in the subsequent periods.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP
APPENDIX I
1. Credit risk
The Group’s credit risk primarily relates to the Group’s trade and other receivables and prepayments. In order to minimise the risk, the management of the Group closely monitors overdue debts. Normally, the Group does not obtain collateral from customers. The recoverable amount of each individual debt is reviewed at the end of each reporting period and adequate impairment for doubtful debts has been made for irrecoverable amounts. In this regard, the directors of the Group consider that credit risk associated with the Group’s trade receivables is significantly reduced.
The Group’s exposure to credit risk is influenced mainly by the individual characteristics of each customer. The risk of the industry and country in which customers operate also has an influence on credit risk but to a lesser extent. At the end of reporting period, the Group has a certain concentration of credit risk as 12.55% (2012: 15.88%) and 38.01% (2012: 43.64%) of the total trade receivables was due from the Group’s largest customer and the five largest customers respectively. The maximum exposure to credit risk in the event that the counterparties fail to perform their obligations as at end of the reporting period in relation to each class of recognised financial assets is the carrying amount of those assets as stated in the statement of financial position. Further quantitative disclosures in respect of the Group’s exposure to credit risk arising from trade receivables are set out in Note.
2. Liquidity risk
The Group is exposed to minimal liquidity risk as the Group closely monitors its cash flow position. The Group’s policy is to regularly monitor its liquidity requirements and its compliance with lending covenants, to ensure that it maintains sufficient reserves of cash to meet its liquidity requirements in the short and longer term.
The following table details the remaining contractual maturities at the end of reporting period of the Group’s financial liabilities, which are based on contractual undiscounted cash flows (including interest payments computed using contractual rates, or if floating, based on rates current at the end of reporting period) and the earliest date the Group can be required to pay.
