The Company was formerly known as Tianjin Bohai Chemical Industry (Group) Company Limited (hereinafter referred to as “ BCI ”) and was subject to a corporate income tax rate of 15%. BCI recorded losses for two consecutive financial years in 1998 and 1999. Restructuring of the Company was completed in December 2000. During the year of restructuring, businesses discarded were subject to a corporate income tax rate of 15% and the amount of corporate income tax paid by the discarded businesses for that year was RMB157,000. Businesses acquired were subject to a corporate income tax rate of 33%. Since 2001, the Company has been paying corporate income taxes at the rate of 33%.
Since the Company has currently complied with the applicable corporate income tax rate of 33% pursuant to the Notice, the publication of the Notice and its implementation will not have any impact on the future production and operations of the Company.
Regarding other issues mentioned in the media reports, the Company is in the process of liaising with the relevant taxation authorities of the People’s Republic of China at the moment, therefore the Company is unable to assess any solid impact for the time being. Should there be any new progress about this matter, a timely disclosure will be made by the Company in accordance with the Listing Rules of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange.
