(I) Toll Highway Business

1. Analysis of Operating Environment

(1) Operating environment

In 2015, during the transformation of the Chinese economy which witnessed the continuous optimisation of industrial structure, acceleration of the reform of traditional industries and promotion of new economic development, there was significant downside pressure on the economy. The GDP of the PRC recorded a YOY growth of 6.9% with the growth rate decreased by 0.4% as compared to last year. During the year, Guangdong Province and Shenzhen City recorded YOY growths of 8.0% and 8.9% in their regional GDPs respectively, slightly above the national average. The economic growth was relatively stable and conducive to the general growth of the regional transportation and logistics demand via highway. During 2015, the container throughput at Shenzhen ports reached a YOY growth of 0.7%, of which the container throughput of Yantian Port maintained a YOY growth of approximately 4.2%, facilitating the growth of the total traffic volume of lorries in the road network of Shenzhen region in a more effective manner. In addition, driven by the active adjustment of industrial structure policy in recent years, Guangdong Province recorded a significant growth in consumption in 2015. The total retail sales of social consumer goods for the year was RMB 3.1trillion a YOY growth of 10.1%.which is the first time exceeded RMB3 trillion.[Source of above data: Governmental statistics ] information website. Under the combined effect of various factors in the macro and regional economic environment, most of our toll highway projects maintained relatively stable operating performance during the Reporting Period, however, traffic volume and toll revenue of certain toll highway projects recorded YOY decreases.

(2) Policy environment

In order to achieve the target of establishing a nationwide inter-network electronic toll collection system of expressways, the classification standard of vehicles on expressways and toll-by-weight for lorries were adjusted to be consistent with national standards in Guangdong Province and Hubei Province (“the Adjustment”) with effect from the end of June 2015. The classification of vehicles on expressways has been standardised in accordance with 《收費公路車輛通行費車型分類》(“Vehicle Classification of the Toll Highway”)issued by the Ministry of Transport. Meanwhile, for cargo vehicles, tolls shall be charged in accordance with an on spot measurement of vehicles based on the total weight of vehicles and goods in accordance with the established weighting method. However, the basic rate of related charges remains the same as prior to the Adjustment. The Adjustment can help to push forward the implementation of the nationwide inter-network toll collection of expressways, resulting in an enhanced traffic efficiency of expressways, and exerting a positive effect on the comprehensive governing of over-loaded vehicles and maintaining the safety of roads and bridges at the same time. Nevertheless, the restructuring and integration of the systems would also increase the capital expenditure of the projects and bring new issues and challenges to the operation management. It is expected that the Adjustment will not have significant impact on the toll revenue and the operating results of the Group as a whole. In addition,in recent years, the Standardization Scheme implemented by the Guangdong Province and the nationwide policies of Toll Free Scheme on Holidays and Green Passage Toll Free Policy posed considerable negative impact on the toll revenue of the projects still existed. However, the impact on YOY changes of projects’ revenue has been eliminated generally.

Notes:

  • ⑴ Traffic volume which is toll free during holidays is not included in the figures of average daily mixed traffic volume.

⑵ Toll-free policy for Meilin to Guanlan section of Meiguan Expressway with a mileage of approximately 13.8 km has been implemented since 24:00 on 31 March 2014 and the toll for the section from Shenzhen-Dongguan border to Guanlan with a mileage of approximately 5.4 km remained the same. As there is a relatively significant change on the toll mileage, no YOY change data is provided in this table.

⑶ For the convenience of residents in Shenzhen to go to the eastern coast for leisure and vacation, the government has made a standardised payment to the Company for the vehicles travelling to and from Yantian and Dameisha Ramp based on the agreed standards and methods since February 2007. During 2013 to 2017, toll fees paid by the government as agreed are RMB19 million per year, which are included in the toll revenues of Yanba Expressway on a monthly basis. Arrangement after 2017 will be negotiated and confirmed by both parties before expiry of the agreement.

  • ⑷ During the Reporting Period, as the Group has completed the relevant work of the acquisition of additional 10% equity interests in the Shuiguan Expressway Project Company, and obtained effective control over the project company, the equity interests of Shuiguan Expressway held by the Group therefore increased from 40% to 50% in 30 October 2015,and the proportion of revenue consolidated into the financial statements has been adjusted to 100% from not being consolidated.

The effect of factors such as economic environment and policy changes on toll highway projects varied, and the operational performance varied among different toll highway projects due to differences in the function positioning, operation date of respective projects and conditions of economic development along the highways. The operational performance of toll highways were also affected, both positively and negatively, by factors such as changes in surrounding competitive or synergistic road networks, construction of connected or parallel roads and implementation of urban traffic organization plans as well as the effects of other transportation methods. In addition, the construction or maintenance works of the projects may also have impact on their then operational performance.

(1) Guangdong Province - Shenzhen region:

With the continuous improvement of the transportation network of Shenzhen region in recent years, coupled with the cancellation of toll collection of certain regional roads, the traffic distribution and composition in the regional road network in Shenzhen have been affected to a certain extent. Guanjintou toll station of Boshen Expressway commenced operation at the end of October 2014, driving the growth in the traffic volume of Jihe Expressway and Yanpai Expressway. The toll collection of Yantian’ao Tunnel in Shenzhen has been cancelled with effect from 1 February 2015, bringing a greater diversion impact on the traffic volumes of lorries on Yanpai Expressway and Yanba Expressway and also a slight negative effect on the performance of Jihe Expressway. On the other hand, the full opening of Coastal Expressway in late 2013 has a slight diversion impact on the traffic of Nanguang Expressway.

As the maintenance works for the road surface of Jihe Expressway and the reconstruction and expansion work of Meiguan Expressway were completed during 2013 and the first half of 2014 respectively, the negative impacts arisen therefrom on the traffic of the projects have been gradually eliminated. Meanwhile, benefiting from the higher traffic capacity and efficiency after the projects’ expansion work and maintenance works of road surface, the service standard and operational performances of the projects have been further improved. Besides, after the implementation of the toll adjustment proposal of Meiguan Expressway since April 2014, the traffic volume in toll free section has shown a faster growth, driving the growth of traffic volume in toll section and thus the operational performance of the connected Jihe Expressway. The maintenance works carried out in Longda Expressway during the Reporting Period also posed certain positive effects on Jihe Expressway. In 2015, the average daily toll revenues of Jihe East and Jihe West were better than that those of the other projects in Shenzhen region, with a rapid YOY increase of 8.1% and 17.6% respectively.

During the Reporting Period, the preventive maintenance and repair works of Nanguang Expressway and Section B of Yanba Expressway have been implemented, which have negatively affected the traffic conditions and operational performance of the projects and the connected roads to a certain extent. The Company strived to reduce the adverse impact on the traffic services by means of optimization of construction plans and implementation of reasonable traffic organization plans, on the condition that assurance will be given about the safety and quality of the construction. The two abovementioned maintenance works were completed in November 2015.

  • 7 -

(2) Guangdong Province - Other regions:

Guangle Expressway (Guangzhou – Lechang, in Guangdong), being the dual line of G4 National Expressway (Guangdong Section), and Erguang Expressway (Lianzhou to Huaiji section, in Guangdong) commenced operation at the end of September 2014 and the end of December 2014 respectively. As the layouts of the above sections are similar to that of Qinglian Expressway, and construction of the link between Erguang Expressway and Qinglian Expressway is under way, certain diversions on Qinglian Expressway have been resulted at this stage.

(3) Other provinces

In 2015, the toll revenue of Wuhuang Expressway basically remained the same as that in the same period of 2014, and its operational performance was still under the negative impact of various factors including the commencement of operation of nearby road networks and implementation of traffic control measures for municipal roads. However, the impact on YOY changes has generally been eliminated. Affected by various factors including the commencement of operation and thus diversion of Maanshan Yangtze River Bridge and the commencement of specific repair works of road surface during the period, the toll revenue of Nanjing Third Bridge recorded a YOY decrease. Benefiting from the positive impacts of various factors including the improvement of road networks, implementation of traffic control measures of neighboring roads, reconstruction works on relevant roads and economic development and business growth of enterprises along the highway, the toll revenue of Changsha Ring Road recorded a relatively rapid YOY growth.

3. Business Management and Upgrade

Implement the Nationwide Inter-Network Toll Collection System to Enhance the Quality of Operational Services

During the Reporting Period, the Company fully leveraged its advantages in respect of technological management to proactively lead and participate in the formulation and review of technological standards, management systems and shift plans in relation to the nationwide inter-network toll collection for expressways in Guangdong Province. During the course of implementation, the Company thoroughly planned for the integration, transformation and upgrade of system, as well as the testing on installation of software and hardware. The Company also pre-organised trainings and rehearsals,timely updated and improved the work procedures and systems upon implementation of the inter-network toll collection. In the second half of the year, the Company closely monitored the operation after the network shift and continued to improve and perfect the system. Currently, the overall operation of the system is running well and the quality of operational management is under control. The toll collection system is in line with the national standard, which is beneficial for promoting the implementation of the nationwide inter-network toll collection system for expressways and enhancing the traffic efficiency of expressways. In addition, by making good use of database in the inter-network toll collection system, the Group has established a standardised terminal operation model and an inspection management system, so as to commence combating toll evasion on a regular basis, effectively implement supervisions over green passages and

  • 8 -

inspections of overloading vehicles and strive to reduce toll loss. Meanwhile, against the backdrop of the implementation of the nationwide ETC inter-network toll collection system and continuous expansion of the coverage of inter-network toll collection, regular upgrade and reform of software and hardware of the toll collection system and constant update of business procedures and management systems, the Group continued to optimise the standardised operation management modules and constantly improved the traffic condition and efficiency of roads by adhering to its regulated, standardised and systematic management model, with a view to enhance the competitiveness and operational performance of the projects.

Enhance the Operational Performance of Roads through Promotion and Marketing of the Road Networks

Relying on the database for traffic distribution of the road networks and structure of vehicle category across Guangdong Province, and by way of site inspections, route comparison and data analysis, the Group continuously tracked the changes of road networks and travelling directions of vehicles in the region, and formulated and implemented targeted marketing and promotional measures to promote the advantages of road networks and projects through various ways, thereby attracting more drivers to use the roads of the Group and facilitating the growth of the toll revenue. During the Reporting Period, the Group continued to carry out multi-aspect works on marketing and management of the road networks with emphasis on Qinglian Expressway, Nanguang Expressway and Yanba Expressway, with an aim to develop the growth potential of each project, and formulate and implement marketing and promotional measures by taking into consideration of various factors such as the condition of projects along the highways and the changes of neighboring road networks. For instance, the Group continued to strengthen the strategic positioning of Qinglian Expressway as the main trunk road linking Guangdong Province and Hunan Province by cooperating with major tourist attractions along the highway to establish a long-term mechanism for joint cooperation and create a “golden corridor” for tourism, thereby achieving a win-win situation through integration of marketing resources. On the other hand, in response to the cancellation of toll collection of Yantian’ao Tunnel in Shenzhen, the Company set up a specific marketing team to carry out on-site inspections, design optimised routes, disseminate traffic guidance and information through multiple means and study the Yantian Port area and towing industry thoroughly in order to understand customers’ needs and enhance the service quality, so as to minimise thenegative impacts on the Company. During the overhaul of Longda Expressway, the Company designed diverted routes for drivers and passengers and diverted more drivers to use Jihe West, which promoted the growth of toll revenue of Jihe West. In addition, by seizing the opportunities created by the commencement of operation of a new station of Meiguan Expressway and implementation of the nationwide inter-network toll collection system, the Company launched various marketing and promotion activities to promote advantages of each of the project as a mean to proactively attract traffic and enhance the growth of toll revenue.

Strengthen Management for Road Maintenance to Ensure the Quality of the Road Traffic

The Company conducted regular quality checks on highways and frequent inspections on highway administration. It has also built up a joint mechanism between road assets and traffic operational information, which enables the Company to take timely measures to remove and

  • 9 -

rectify the unsafe factors in highways or take maintenance measures to better protect the quality, safety and free traffic of highways. During the Reporting Period, the Group conducted preventive maintenance works for Nanguang Expressway and Section B of Yanba Expressway and further studied the application and improvement of precautionary maintenance technology of road surface. The Company established a mechanism to conduct regular reviews on road maintenance plans and an interactive adjustment mechanism in which maintenance technology plans can be constantly improved and optimised to ensure continuous improvement of road technology and condition and prolong the useful life of the roads, thereby effectively reducing their total maintenance cost. In addition, the Group also conducted small-scale specialised works, such as reinforcement of slopes and expansion of toll stations to ensure the safety and free traffic of highways, based on the actual circumstances and needs.

4.Business Development

During the Reporting Period, the Group acquired an additional 10% interests in Qinglong Company with an initial consideration of RMB280 million and the proportion of equity interests in Shuiguan Expressway owned by the Group has increased from the original 40% to 50%. The Group has also obtained effective control over Qinglong Company through the agreement and arrangement with the co-shareholders of Qinglong Company, which has been included in the scope of consolidation for the financial statements of the Group. Shuiguan Expressway has maintained a continuous growth trend in traffic volume and toll revenue since its opening, and it has completed the expansion in recent years with proven track record and relatively low investment risks. With the increase in interests in Qinglong Company, the Group can enhance its control over the operation and management of Qinglong Company, which will in return help improve the profitability and cash flow of the Group in the future and further consolidate the core advantages of the Group in respect of investment, management, and operation of highways, which is in line with the development strategies and overall interests of the Group. For the specific impact of including Qinglong Company in the scope of consolidation for the financial statements of the Group to the Group’s operating result and financial position, please refer to the relevant content in “Financial Analysis” below.

Based on the overall demands for economic development and transportation planning, the Shenzhen government has conducted an in-depth discussion and negotiation with the Company on the toll adjustment of Nanguang Expressway, Yanpai Expressway and Yanba Expressway (“Three Projects”) and eventually reached a consensus and agreement in compliance with the market principles. On 30 November 2015, the Company and Transport Commission of Shenzhen Municipality (on behalf of the Shenzhen Municipal People’s Government) entered into an agreement relating to the toll adjustment of the Three Projects, pursuant to which, the adjustment proposal will be implemented from 00:00 on 7 February 2016 in two phases: the Company will implement the toll-free policy for Nanguang Expressway, Yanpai Expressway and Yanba Expressway, while the Transport Commission of Shenzhen Municipality will make cash compensation to the Company based on the adjustment mechanism accordingly. The adjustment will be implemented in two phases: during Phase 1 (from 7 February 2016 to 31 December 2018), the Company will implement the toll-free policy for the Three Projects, under which it may retain the fee entitlement right and continue to be responsible for the management and maintenance of such sections; meanwhile, the Transport Commission of Shenzhen Municipality will acquire traffic services of the Three Projects from

  • 10 -

the Company and make compensation for the exempted toll fees (as consideration for the services). During Phase 2 (commencing from 1 January 2019), the Transport Commission of Shenzhen Municipality can opt to adopt the adjustment mechanism in Phase 1 (Option 1) continuously or it can resume possession of the fee entitlement right of the Three Projects earlier and make compensation accordingly (Option 2). If the Transport Commission of Shenzhen Municipality opts to resume possession of the fee entitlement right of the Three Projects earlier, the Company will no longer retain the fee entitlement right of the Three Projects and will no longer be responsible for the corresponding management and maintenance. In the case that Option 1 or Option 2 is adopted during Phase 2, the tentative amounts of total compensation will be RMB9.688 billion and RMB7.652 billion respectively.

Description:

 During 2015, the Group recorded a YOY increase of 0.21% in toll revenue, of which Qinglong Company had been consolidated into the Group’s financial statements since 30 October 2015 and had contributed toll revenue of RMB105,895,000 during the Reporting Period. After excluding the effect of such factor, the Group recorded a YOY decrease of 3.31% in toll revenue,which is mainly due to the cancellation of toll collection for the Toll Free Section of Meiguan Expressway since 1 April 2014 and the fact that Qinglian Expressway, Yanpai Expressway and Yanba Expressway were affected by diversion of road networks, leading to respective YOY decreases in toll revenue. Benefitted from the natural growth of traffic volume, maintenance of neighbouring road sections and proactive marketing campaigns, the operational performance of other ancillary toll highways have all achieved considerable growth. Details of analysis of the operational performance of various projects during the Reporting Period are set out in the Business Review above. The income presented based on specific items is set out in point (1) below.

 Revenue from entrusted management services recorded a YOY decrease of RMB408,819,000, which is mainly due to the fact that the Group adjusted and recognised the revenue from the entrusted management services in respect of both Coastal Phase I and Guilong Project based on the actual settlement of works, the audit results of government departments and the progress of completion during 2014, resulting in a YOY decrease in the revenue from the entrusted management services of RMB210,391,000 and RMB183,142,000 respectively for the two projects. The management period of the entrusted construction management projects normally lasts for more than three years. During the respective periods, as affected by the changes of various factors including the scale of each project, progress of construction during the current period, contractual terms, audit results of government departments and settlement of works, the related services income and costs recognised may have a higher level of fluctuation.

 Consulting Company has been consolidated into the Group’s financial statements since 1 July 2015 and contributed a revenue of RMB191,396,000 during the Reporting Period.

The Group’s financial expenses for the year 2015 amounted to RMB370,700,000 (2014: RMB419,278,000), representing a YOY decrease of 11.59%, which was mainly attributable to the decrease in the Group’s average borrowing scale and capital costs during the Reporting Period. For details of the borrowing scale, please refer to the relevant contents as set out in point (III) below. The detailed analysis of financial expenses is as follows:

During 2015, the Group’s income tax expenses amounted to RMB177,177,000 (2014: RMB695,448,000), representing a YOY decrease of 74.52%. Such decrease was mainly attributable to the significant increase in taxable income as a result of the recognition of gains on disposal of Meiguan Assets in 2014 and the reduction of the carrying amount of deferred tax assets of Qinglian Company by RMB45,934,000 during the Reporting Period. Details of the Group’s applicable income tax rate and income tax expenses for the year are set out in notes IV and V\41 to the Financial Statements in this annoucement.

3. Investment Income

During 2015, the Group recorded investment income of RMB1,154,991,000 (2014: RMB187,042,000), representing a YOY increase of 517.50%. During the Reporting Period, Qinglong Company and Consulting Company had been consolidated into the Group’s financial statements and the equity interests held prior to the acquisition date were remeasured at fair value and thus led to an increase in investment income of RMB904,017,000. In addition, the Group received the annual dividend of RMB3,000,000 for the year 2014 from Guangdong UETC. After excluding effects of the two factors mentioned above, the investment income from joint ventures and associates attributable to the Group during the Reporting Period amounted to RMB247,974,000 (2014: RMB187,042,000), representing a YOY increase of 32.58%, which was mainly attributable to the considerable growth of toll revenue from most toll highway projects operated by the joint ventures and associates as a result of the effects of a combination of factors including improvement of regional road networks and the organic growth of traffic volume, as well as the overall decrease in borrowing scale and financial costs. Among which, Changsha Ring Road has recorded a significant growth in attributable investment income due to increased income growth and significant decrease in special maintenance expenses for road surfaces.

  • 22 -

4. Non-operating Income

During 2015, there was a significant decrease in the Group’s non-operating income, which was mainly resulted from the Group’s disposal of the related assets of Toll Free Section of Meiguan Expressway and the recognition of gains on disposal of assets during 2014.

5. Cash Flow

Descriptions on the reasons for changes in net cash flows from operating activities: The toll revenue of the Group’s principal toll highway operations is collected in cash, thereby providing the Group with a steady operating cash flow. During 2015, the Group’s net cash inflows from operating activities and cash return on investments[Note ] totalled RMB1,942,475,000 (2014: RMB1,888,989,000), representing a YOY increase of 2.83%, which was mainly due to the fact that Qinglong Company and Consulting Company had been consolidated into the financial statements during the Reporting Period, resulting in an increase in the Group’s net cash flows from operating activities and a YOY increase in cash received from investment income.

Note: Aggregated figures of net cash inflows from operating activities and cash return on investments = Net cash flows from operating activities + Cash received from investments + Cash received from investment income.

According to the articles of association of the Company’s joint ventures and associates, those companies will distribute cash to their shareholders if the conditions for cash distribution are fulfilled. According to the characteristics of the toll highway industry, such cash return on investments will provide continuous and stable cash flow. The reason that the Company provided the aggregated figures of net cash inflows from operating activities and cash return on investments was to help the users of the financial statements understand the performance of recurring cash flow from the Group’s operating and investing activities.

Descriptions on the reasons for changes in net cash flows from investing activities: The Group received compensation for toll adjustment of Meiguan Expressway in the amount of RMB2 billion and paid for the investment in companies such as United Land Company and Bank of Guizhou in the amount of approximately RMB1.3 billion during the Reporting Period. The net cash inflows from investing activities amounted to RMB580 million and basically remained at the same level as last year.

Descriptions on the reasons for changes in net cash flows from financing activities: During the Reporting Period, the Group received prepayment from the Shenzhen government for compensation for the toll adjustment of the Three Projects in the amount of RMB6.588 billion. As the prepayment will bear interest, it is classified as cash inflows from financing activities, resulting in a significant increase in the net cash inflows from financing activities during the Reporting Period as compared to last year.

6. Amortisation Policies of Concession Intangible Assets and the Difference of Amortisation Methods

The Group’s concession intangible assets are amortised based on the units-of-usage method. The amortised amount is calculated, based on usage amount per unit, by the percentage of the actual traffic volume in the respective periods to the total projected traffic volume during the toll operating period. The Group conducts regular review on the projected traffic volume and makes corresponding adjustments to ensure the truthfulness and accuracy of the amortised amount. Details of this accounting policy and accounting estimates are set out in notes III\18(1) and 29(2) to the Financial Statements in this annoucement

  • 23 -

During the preliminary stages of toll highway operation and before reaching their designed saturated traffic volumes, the amortised amount calculated by the units-of-usage method is lower than that calculated by the straight-line method. During 2015, the difference in amortisation amount attributable to the Company calculated by using the two amortisation methods based on its share of interests was RMB180 million, representing a YOY increase, which was mainly attributable to the decrease in traffic volumes of Qinglian Expressway and Yanpai Expressway as well as the adjustment made to the unit amortisation amount of Jihe East and Jihe West. The adoption of different amortisation methods had no impact on the cash flow generated by various toll highway projects and thus had no impact on the valuation of various projects.

(II) Description on Material Changes in Profits from Non-main Business

1. The investment income resulted from the remeasurement of equity interests held by the acquiree prior to the acquisition date at fair value

Qinglong Company and Consulting Company were former associates of the Company, which were owned as to 40% and 24% by the Company, respectively. During the Reporting Period, the Group has obtained effective control over Qinglong Company and Consulting Company and they have been consolidated into the Group’s financial statements. According to the relevant requirements of Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises, when preparing the consolidated financial statements, the equity interests held prior to the acquisition date shall be remeasured based on the fair values of such equity interests on the acquisition date, and the difference between the fair values and their carrying amount shall be credited as investment income of the current period. The remeasurement has resulted in an increase of RMB899,490,000 and RMB4,527,000 respectively in the Group’s net profit during the Reporting Period. Details of business combinations involving enterprises not under common control during the Reporting Period are set out in note III\29(6) and note VI\2 to the Financial Statements in this announcement.

2. Impairment Provisions for the Concession Intangible Assets of Qinglian Expressway

As the diversion impact on Qinglian Expressway caused by newly constructed neighboring road sections was larger than expected, according to the relevant requirements of the Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises, in order to more genuinely reflect the financial position and asset value of the Group, during the Reporting Period, the Group has made impairment provisions of RMB620,000,000 for the concession intangible assets of Qinglian Expressway based on the prudence principle and the assessment results from professional institutions, resulting in a decrease of the Group’s net profit for the Reporting Period of RMB355,121,000.

Details on the asset impairment are set out in note III\29(5) to the Financial Statements in this announcement. The aforesaid provisions for asset impairment have been considered and approved at the twelveth meeting of the seventh session of the Board of the Company. For details, please refer to the announcements of the Company dated 29 January 2016 on the resolutions of the Board and provisions for asset impairment.

  • 24 -

3. Reduction of the Carrying Amount of Deferred Tax Assets of Qinglian Company for Deductible Loss

Based on the operating conditions of Qinglian Expressway in 2015 and the projected result of an independent professional traffic consultant on its traffic volume and revenue in the future, the Group estimates that it may not be able to generate enough taxable incomes in the foreseeable future that the deductible losses will be compensated for deduction of provision of the operating loss of deferred tax assets in prior years. According to the relevant requirements of the Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises, the Group reduced the carrying amount of deferred tax assets of Qinglian Company by RMB45,934,000 at the end of 2015, resulting in a decrease of the Group’s net profit for the Reporting Period of RMB35,080,000.

For details of the changes in accounting estimates, please refer to the relevant content in point V below.

(III) Analysis of Assets and Liabilities

The Group’s assets mainly comprise the concession intangible assets in high-grade toll highways and equity investments in the companies operating toll highways, which accounts for 65.20% of its total assets, while cash at bank and on hand as well as other assets account for 20.28% and 14.52% of its total assets, respectively. As at 31 December 2015, the Group’s total assets amounted to RMB31,670,655,000 (31 December 2014: RMB24,329,324,000), representing a YOY increase of 30.17%. The increase was mainly attributable to the prepayment from the Shenzhen government for compensation for the toll adjustment of the Three Projects and consolidation of Consulting Company and Qinglong Company into the Group’s financial statements during the Reporting Period.

As at 31 December 2015, the total outstanding interest-bearing liabilities of the Group amounted to RMB13,275,685,000 (31 December 2014: RMB8,048,610,000), representing an increase of 64.94% as compared to the end of 2014. The increase was mainly attributable to the prepayment from the Shenzhen government for compensation for the toll adjustment of the Three Projects and early repayment of part of long-term borrowings during the Reporting Period. In 2015, the average size of the Group’s borrowings was RMB8.38 billion (2014: RMB8.91 billion), representing a YOY decrease of 5.95%.

2. Capital Structure and Debt Repayment Capability

The Company is always committed to maintaining a rational capital structure and constantly enhancing its profitability, so as to maintain its good credit ratings and solid financial position. Owing to the effect of various factors such as prepayment from the Shenzhen government for compensation for the toll adjustment of three projects and consolidation of Qinglong Company into the financial statements during the Reporting Period, the Group has recorded a significant increase in both assets and liabilities, however, the debt-to-asset- ratio and net borrowings-to-equity ratio as at the end of the period basically remained stable. As a result of the recognition of gains on disposal of Meiguan Assets in the corresponding period of prior year, the interest covered multiple and EBITDA interest multiple recorded a YOY decrease. Given the Group’s stable and robust operating cash flows and its strong capability in financing and capital management, the Directors are of the view that the financial leverage ratios remained at safe levels as at the end of the Reporting Period.

4.3 Outlook and Plans

(I) Industry Competition Landscape and Development Trend

1. Basic Assessment on the Operating Environment

2016 marks the beginning of China’s final stage in building a moderately prosperous society in all aspects, which is also going to be a tough year for its journey of structural reforms. As stated in the Central Economic Work Conference, the eco-social development of 2016, particularly the task of structural reforms, demands onerous efforts. Strategically, China will continue to adhere to the policy of “making progress while maintaining stability” by managing its pace and magnitude of development; technically, it will focus on key areas and prioritise cutting excessive capacities, de-stocking, de-leveraging, lowering costs and improving weak areas. In the foreseeable future, the Chinese economy will still maintain its growth to a certain extent, but would also be facing many difficulties and challenges. The volatility and uncertainties of the external environment will pose threats to the economic development in China in terms of currency, investment and trading. Moreover, the domestic economy will still be under more downside pressure, thus bringing down the profitability of corporates, leading to uncertainties in market expectation and damaging market confidence. Economic development determines the demand for transportation. Against this backdrop, there will be greater uncertainties in the operational performance of toll highway projects whereas more new problems may arise during the operation and management.

The operating environment of the toll highway industry is becoming more complex over time. In respect of the public and the criticism, there is demand for related public welfare despite their acknowledgement for our toll highway products and services. For national and local authorities, economic development gives rise to the demand for construction of transportation infrastructure including expressways. However, pressure will be put on those toll highway projects located in the economically developed regions or peripheral areas which could become the target of repurchase by the government. While investors will be confronted with sustainable development problems resulting from the operating period of toll highways, and their rate of investment returns will decrease as factor costs increase rapidly. In general, with the continuous reinforcement of the concept of the rule of law, it is expected that the policy guidance, criticism, public demand and reform of the toll highway industry will affect one another, promoting sound and healthy growth of the industry. During 2015, the government departments have successively launched policies such as 《基礎設施和公用事業特許經營管 理辦法》“Management Measures of Concession on Infrastructure and Utilities” and 《關於 在收費公路領域推廣運用政府和社會資本合作模式的實施意見》“Implementation Guidelines on Promoting Government and Social Capital Cooperation Models on Toll Highways”, and published the 《收費公路管理條例(修訂稿)》“Amendments to Toll Highway Management Ordinance”, with a view to encourage and guide social capitals to be engaged in the investment and operation of infrastructure and regulate management in the industry, which will thus be favourable to the healthy growth of the industry in the long run. Against the backdrop of the inadequacy in funds for construction and the economic measure of diversified-ownership launched in China, opportunities for acquisition of quality toll highway projects or participation in project investment, construction and operation management by way of innovative investment or financing modes may arise.

  • 32 -

Regarding infrastructure construction, the government is pushing forward and promoting the application of the PPP mode. As compared to traditional investment and financing modes, the PPP mode of cooperation is more complicated yet with more flexible and diversified modes of return, providing new business opportunities to the companies while imposing higher requirements for their capabilities in innovation of business modes. Using PPP mode in toll highway project can solve the problems of large investment scale, high construction cost and the lack of independent commercial investment value. Through the cooperation of the government and companies, the transportation demand for economic activities along the highway projects can be satisfied, at the same time providing reasonable business returns to the investors, ultimately leading to the win-win situation for all parties including the public, the government and companies.

Moreover, the progress of new form of urbanisation would induce huge demand for infrastructure construction or upgrade and reconstruction and for the maintenance management after the infrastructure have been put into use, thereby providing more business opportunities for the Company to develop its entrusted management business with its professional skill and experience. The Group will make use of its own construction and management experience, capital resources, land resources and geographical advantages to cooperate with the government or other companies, in which they will complement each other by hiding weaknesses and enhancing strengths to actively promote the construction, investment, operation and management of infrastructure.

In 2016, it is expected that the Central Bank of China will would adopt a more stable and healthy monetary policy to keep the liquidity reasonable and adequate, enhance pro-cyclical adjustments and fine-tuning and provide guidance for financial institutions to improve their credit structure; all of which will further strengthen the support towards economic and social development. The Company will closely follow the policy and market changes, identify and recognise various new policies, instruments, modes and risks, so as to make reasonable financing arrangement and lower the capital cost.

2. Analysis on Operating Conditions

Since 2014, projects such as Meiguan Expressway, Yantian’ao Tunnel, Nanguang Expressway, Yanpai Expressway, Yanba Expressway and Longda Expressway in Shenzhen region have successively implemented toll adjustments or cancelled the toll collection; as such, all or part of the toll sections have been toll-free. Moreover, as some of the municipal roads and the road sections connected to the expressways commenced operation, there will be some changes and adjustments in traffic distribution and composition in the regional road network, resulting in certain positive or negative impacts on the Group’s toll highway projects in Shenzhen region. For instance, the toll adjustment of Meiguan Expressway has a positive effect on its remaining sections and Jihe Expressway; on the other hand, the cancellation of toll collection in Yantian’ao Tunnel in Shenzhen has brought greater diversion impact on Yanpai Expressway;besides, after the implementation of the toll adjustment proposal of Nanguang Expressway, Yanpai Expressway, Yanba Expressway and Longda Expressway since 00:00 on 7 February 2016, the traffic volumes in toll free sections have shown faster growths, driving the growth of traffic volume in the connected Jihe Expressway, however, diverting the traffic volume to Nangguang Expressway and Longda Expressway from Meiguan Expressway and

  • 33 -

resulting in the slight diversion on the traffic volume of Meiguan Expressway, and overall, having a positive impact on the traffic volume of the road networks in Shenzhen region.

Guangle Expressway (Guangzhou-Lechang, in Guangdong) and Erguang Expressway Lianzhou to Huaiji section (in Guangdong) will continue to have a diversion effect on Qinglian Expressway for a certain period of time in the future. The reconstruction and expansion work of Guangqing Expressway (Guangzhou-Qingyuan, in Guangdong), which connects to the southern end of Qinglian Expressway is currently in progress. The construction of the link between Guangqing Expressway and Qinglian Expressway has commenced in November 2014. According to information announced, the two construction projects will be completed by the end of 2016 and 2017 respectively. In addition, the construction of the link between Erguang Expressway and Qinglian Expressway is underway. Upon the completion of these projects, it is expected that the traffic efficiency and service capability of the whole expressway will be improved, making full use of its major traffic routes between Hunan and Guangdong Provinces, which will further optimise the competitiveness of Qinglian Expressway and enhance its operational performance.

(II) Development Strategies of the Company

Based on the in-depth study of the changes in the development of both internal and external environment, the fourth meeting of the seventh session of the Board of the Company in June 2015 approved the “2015-2019 Development Strategies” of the Company. The Company will pursue a market-oriented and innovation-driven strategy. It will continue to seize the opportunities of this era to consolidate and strengthen the core business of toll highway and actively explore and fix the new direction of the industry so as to achieve the sustainable development of the Company.

In respect of the core business, the Company will actively push forward the development of its toll highway business and at the same time further expand the development in the four areas of investment, construction, operation and maintenance, fostering the capital advantages and management abilities to drive the growth of its core business. As for the cultivation and development of the core business, the Company will prioritise to increase the shareholding of the existing projects and focus on considering projects located in privileged regions and regions related to the existing businesses, and closely monitor the investment prospect and opportunities of the projects in the main route of national highways which have commenced operation or will soon commence operation.

In respect of the exploration of new industries , the Company will comply with the PRC’s policy guidance on industry development, effectively leverage the advantages in terms of corporate resources, fully unleash the core competitiveness of the Company and demonstrate it as a well-structured and duplicable principle, so as to actively explore and engage in investment in new industries which have a higher return than the core business. This will enable the Company to achieve the target of stabilising its performance growth in the near term and rendering new growth momentum in the long run. At this stage, the Company has set the “construction and operation service provider of urban and transport infrastructure” as its main business direction and the environmental protection industry with the contents of water environment treatment, solid waste treatment, and so on.

  • 34 -

In respect of the investment and financing management, the Company will actively explore new investment modes. Aiming to reduce the consolidated capital cost and maintain a reasonable capital structure, the Company will strengthen the use of financial instruments in the capital market and consolidate the internal planning and management of funds so as to fully demonstrate the Company’s advantages in investment and financing and enhance the overall competitiveness for the business development of the Company.

In respect of the organisation strength and human resources , the Company will commit itself tto building an organisation structure which can enhance the efficiency and conform to the new development strategies. The Company will also devote itself to creating a human resources management system which can enhance the staff motivation and in line with the best interest of the Company as a whole. The Company will also actively research and push forward the establishment and implementation of mechanisms such as employee stock ownership plan and share incentives to achieve the mutual growth of the enterprise, staff and shareholders’ values.

(III) Operation Plans

In 2016, the working goals and focuses for the Group are as follows:

  • Operating Targets: Based on the reasonable analysis and expectation on our operating environment and operating conditions, the Group has set a total toll revenue target for 2016 of not less than RMB4.1billion, with the total of operating costs, management expenses and selling expenses (excluding depreciation and amortisation) of approximately RMB1.55billion. In 2016, it is expected that the average borrowing scale (including the received related compensation in advance from Shenzhen government regarding the toll adjustment of Three Expressways) and the financial cost of the Group will be higher on a YOY basis.

  • Toll Highway Business: Deepen the internal management, enhance the overall operation management quality and operational service standard. Improve the operation management of inter-network toll collection in various aspects, including ensuring the stability and timeliness of the toll and clearing systems, as well as making amendment and verification for road network data models so as to provide support for decision-making. Adopt customised promotion and marketing strategies to meet the toll revenue target.Vigorously carry out the preventive maintenance works and pursue the concept of optimal maintenance cost control during the whole operation period through innovation in both technology and management.

  • Construction Management Business: Improve construction efficiency and reduce cost by preparing preliminary organisation and planning and adopting standardised management for design of the projects. Improve the planning on tender management and regulate the preparation and review on tender documents and tender basis documents for the construction projects, enhance procedure control and management, and strengthen its control over changes in construction projects and establish a dynamic cost management system, so as to effectively control the construction cost of projects through standardised and refined contract management. Consolidate its experience in entrusted construction management to ensure the co-ordination for the collection of entrusted construction account receivables and actively explore opportunities to develop new entrusted construction business.

Comprehend the financial policies and the change in market condition in a timely manner, adjust the overall financing strategy and the execution plan in phases in due course so as to provide support for the implementation of new strategies.

(IV)Capital Expenditure Plan

As at the approval date of this report, the Group’s capital expenditure plan mainly comprised investment in Outer Ring Project, construction settlements of projects such as reconstruction and expansion of Meiguan Expressway and investment in road properties and mechanical and electrical equipment of the highway sections operated by subsidiaries as well as the planned investments on associates. By the end of 2018, it is expected that the Group’s total capital expenditure will amount to approximately RMB7.877 billion. The Group plans to satisfy such capital needs with its own capital and bank borrowings. According to the Directors’ assessment, the Group’s financial resources and financing capability are currently sufficient for satisfying the needs of various capital expenditures.The capital expenditure plan of the Group from 2016 to 2018 is as follows:

(V) Risk Management

Through active identification, assessment and response to risk issues occurred in the operation process, the Company applied risk management to all segments of the Company, including corporate strategies, planning, decision-making and operations. Currently, the Company focuses on internal and external risk issues in respect of policy, market, business expansion, investment, construction management as well as operation management.

1. Policy Risk

Risk position / analysis:

With the expansion of the inter-network toll collection, upgrade and reconstruction of the software and hardware of the toll collection system, including the setup of identification stations and upgrade of display devices and monitoring system, may be required on an ongoing basis. These measures can strengthen the current operation management, at the same time increase the Group’s related investment in equipment and subsequent cost of maintenance and management. The Shenzhen government implemented, in phases, restrictive policies on automobile purchase, restriction on the use of non-local small passenger vehicles during certain time-slots and substantial increase in road parking charge to restrain the rapid growth of car ownership and reduce the rate of vehicle use. To some extent, negative impact on the current traffic volume and future traffic growth of regional road networks is expected accordingly. In addition, according to the related regulations on road and traffic safety management in Shenzhen, there is still a need to improve facilities such as lighting and monitoring system of the relevant road sections of the Group. The above policies will increase the investment and operational costs of the Company and exert greater pressure on management and coordination.

In the event that the “Replacing the business tax with value-added tax scheme” (“VAT Scheme”) is fully put into effect by the Government, the income, cost, profit and cash flow of the Company will be affected. At the same time, the Company is required to formulate the business and financial management procedures and adjust accounting and audit treatment as well as tax system so as to be aligned with such policy. It is also required to establish higher requirement on supplier management, contract design and management. Currently, the specific plan and implementation schedule are not determined yet.

Management / response measures:

Inter-network toll collection is beneficial to enhancing the traffic efficiency and service standard of toll highway network, and to the long term development of the industry. With the expansion of coverage of the inter-network system and technology innovation, as well as reasonable upgrade and reconstruction of the software and hardware of the toll collection system and ancillary facilities to toll highways, the management level of toll highways was enhanced. This will help to enhance the traffic efficiency, traffic safety, users’ experience on toll highways and thus enhance their competitiveness. The Group would optimise technical projects and implementation plans after satisfying regulatory requirements and make reasonable saving of the investment cost.

The Group will actively follow up and study the formulation, introduction and implementation

  • 37 -

progress of the VAT Scheme, organise the deployment and training of staff, streamline business flow, arrange contract files in order and analyse financial impact in advance. The Group will also organise studies and proposals of tax planning in a timely manner, actively communicate with and provide feedback to related government departments, and strive for understanding and improvement, so as to reduce and minimise the adverse impact.

2. Market Risks

Risk position / analysis:

With further expansion and improvement of the expressway network, the number of parallel roads or substitutive routes will constantly increase, which will bring negative impact on the growth of the Group’s toll revenue. For details of the possible diversion impact on the Group’s projects at current stage, please refer to the above analysis heading “Industry Competition Landscape and Development Trend”. As the diversion impact of Guangle Expressway and Erguang Expressway (Lianzhou to Huaiji section, in Guangdong) on Qinglian Expressway has temporarily stabilised, the Group has made impairment provisions for the concession intangible assets of Qinglian Expressway. However, if the positive or negative impact on Qinglian Expressway resulting from future change in road networks is larger than expected, the valuation of the project may be further affected.

Management / response measures:

Based on the actual condition of the regional road networks, the Group will reasonably formulate the annual operation plan and continuously follow up the change in the layout of road networks and its trend. By fully utilising the informatised data platform, and mastering the characteristics of the change in traffic volume and particular factors causing the change, the Group will adopt targeted marketing and guidance measures in advance, in order to promote improvement of road networks and thus increase the positive impact or reduce the negative impact on the Group’s projects. Meanwhile, the Group will continue to increase the competitiveness of the projects through provision of good traffic service and enhancement of traffic efficiency.

3. Business Expansion Risks

Risk position / analysis:

The Group carried out Guilong Project by using Guishen Company as a platform, and participated in the regional road construction and development by adopting BT mode. In order to reduce the risk of funds recovery and generate the expected revenue, Guishen Company also participated in the bid for the related land, and took advantage of this opportunity to conduct further development of part of the land. As the reporting and implementing entity of Meilin Checkpoint Renewal Project, United Land Company has obtained the land use right of Meilin Checkpoint Renewal Project Land Parcels as scheduled; however, the relocation and cleaning up works in relation thereof is still in progress, which might result in risks such as increase in expropriation and demolition costs. Funds recovery and value realisation of land are exposed to change in policies related to government budget management and management in land and real estate industry, as well as risk of fluctuations in land market price, which will directly affect the realization of commercial value of projects and in turn increase the investment and financial

  • 38 -

risks of the Company. The Company also invested in Bank of Guizhou. The operating results and financial condition of which may be affected by unfavourable factors, including macroeconomic downturn, interest rate fluctuations and interest rate liberalisation, as well as challenges resulting from market competition.

The Company has included “actively explore and determine new direction for industry development” in its new strategies. As there were differences between the new business and toll highway business, if the Company’s capability on capturing the market opportunities, business experience, management model and human resources fail to bridge the differences, the project revenue, capital safety, business expansion achievement and the overall performance of the Group may be affected.

Management / response measures:

The Group has conducted in-depth study and research on the related risk of Guilong Project, and will continue to adopt various risk control measures through our Investment Company and Guishen Company. The Group will closely follow up the implementation of funds recovery plan and the procedure of payment to ensure timely recovery and repayment of funds. For Guilong Development Project, the Group strived to control development cost and utilised the competitive advantages of the project with respect to marketing plans and promotional activities and strengthened the sales management. For Meilin Checkpoint Renewal Project, the Group will procure United Land Company to actively communicate with relevant government departments and the subject of demolition, and adopt different working measures for different entities with clear work orders, so as to complete the demolition in a reasonable and legitimate manner. Meanwhile, the Group will closely follow up the change in national and local policies and regulations on land, and maintain communication and cooperation with the local government. The Group will seriously study the change in related industry policies and the market condition, actively explore channels and methods to realise land value, enhance preliminary market research, conduct thorough comparison and take reference, grasp the trend of changes in the target market, make reasonable arrangement on the scale and pace of project development, and timely adjust investment strategies or product development direction. For the investment in Bank of Guizhou, the Company will exercise shareholders’ rights according to laws and closely follow the actual operation of Bank of Guizhou to achieve better risk control and management.

The Group has carried out thorough and objective analysis on its own strength and the external environment and clearly stated the principles of industry development, including compliance with the national policy guidance for the industry, effective use of the Company’s competitive resources, fully unleashing the core competitiveness of the Company and the principles on scale and reproduction. The Group will respect the objective market pattern to, based on the features of new industries exploration, establish operating procedures, management system as well as incentive and appraisal mechanism, so as to achieve liberalisation of new industries exploration. Moreover, after enhancement of the training for team capability, the Group will also engage professionals and organisations to advise on management and take charge of specific works, and integrate the high quality resources in the industry to ensure the intended effect.

  • 39 -

4. Investment and Financing Risk

Risk position / analysis:

The Company has a pre-emptive right for the development of Outer Ring Expressway. However this project requires large scale of investment and a long return period, and lacks independent commercial investment value. Although the Group has reached an agreement with the Shenzhen government on matters regarding the investment, construction and management of Section A of Outer Ring (subject to approval of the general meeting), as the first toll highway project undertaken by the Group by applying PPP mode, its investment and financing models are different from the traditional one, and the rights and obligations among all participating parties during the implementation of the project are also different from the traditional mode. Such differences impose new requirements on the Group in various aspects, including value assessment, contract design, financing arrangement, project management and communication and coordination, which also bring uncertainties to the Group’s operation. In addition, the Group will continue to build up the reserves of toll highway projects and select the projects that are in line with its investment principle. The accuracy of assessment on aspects such as the business models, investment value and cooperative partners of these projects will likely affect the Group’s operating results and financial position.

Management/response measures:

The investment, construction and management of Section A of Outer Ring by adopting PPP model is a proposal after long-term negotiations, close communication and detailed assessment between the government and the Company. As such, the demand for social development and commercial returns can be both satisfied and will ultimately lead to a win-win situation for all parties including the public, the government and the Company. With the extensive experience in project construction management and entrusted construction management business accumulated over the years, the Group is confident in handling works in relation to project construction and communication with the government properly. In respect of project financing, apart from assessment on the value of the projects, the Group will make reasonable arrangement for financing and fund-raising plan over the construction period and operation period, which will also effectively reduce financial risks of the projects. As for value assessment and contract design of investment projects, the Group will fully leverage the innovative capability of its business model to conduct comprehensive assessment and estimation on the value of the projects. It will also clearly define rights and responsibilities as well as implement risk control through execution of commercial contracts.

5. Operation Management Risks

Risk position/analysis:

The expansion of the inter-network toll collection called for higher requirements on the stability of the toll collection system, accuracy and timeliness of data division and settlement system. Abnormality of the system and management procedure may lead to inaccuracy in data division and delay in settlement, which will thus affect the interests and market image of the Company. Moreover, upon the expansion of the toll collection network, the extent and degree of impact of toll evasion incidents such as gate crashing and fake cards and free pass as a result

  • 40 -

of improper management have increased, which will result in a higher possibility of decrease in toll revenue.

If problems occurs in technical scheme, construction management and traffic organisation of road maintenance and preventive maintenance programs, the cash payments and subsequent maintenance costs of the Company will increase, and the traffic flow and traffic safety on related road sections will also be affected. In addition, the implementation of preventive maintenance programs of roads may be adjusted according to the actual conditions and the extent of damage in the highways, therefore, there is risk that the overall expenditure of the programs may overrun.

Management/response measures:

The Group will timely handle the problems that arise in the toll collection procedure and analyse and summarise the reasons thereof, actively coordinate and contact with the related departments/units, system suppliers and other toll highway companies, optimise operation procedures, improve and increase the stability and reliability of the system, and assure efficiency and accuracy of the settlement. Through various measures such as standardising business operation, executing effective audit management, cooperation with police unit and media publicity, the Group will seek to prevent and stop toll evasion incidents, and fully utilise the provincial-wide inter-network database, so as to realise information sharing and improve management effectiveness.

The Group will further improve regular assessment and dynamic adjustment mechanism of the highway maintenance planning by conducting in-depth study of damage development trend, formulating reasonable technical scheme and controlling costs reasonably based on the concept of optimal maintenance cost control during the operation period, as well as on the basis of summarising and absorbing the past highway maintenance experience. Meanwhile, through the improvement of construction management and traffic organisation measures, the construction cost will be under effective control and the impact on traffic safety will be effectively reduced.

V. Matters Related to Financial Statements

5.1 Changes in Accounting Policies and Accounting Estimates During the Reporting Period

Changes in Accounting Policies

Changes in accounting estimates of deferred tax assets with deductible tax losses of Qinglian Company

Based on the operating conditions of Qinglian Expressway in 2015 and the projected result of independent professional traffic consultant on its traffic volume and revenue in the future, the Group estimates that it may not be able to generate enough taxable income in the foreseeable future that the deductible losses will be compensated for deduction of provision of the operating loss of deferred tax assets in prior years. According to the relevant requirements of the accounting standards, in order to reasonably reflect the deferred tax assets with deductible losses as at the end of the period, the Group reduced the carrying amount of deferred tax assets of Qinglian Company by RMB45,934,000 at the end of 2015. These changes in accounting estimates are accounted for on a prospective basis, resulting in an increase of RMB45,934,000 of the Group’s income tax expenses in 2015 and a corresponding decrease of RMB35,080,000 of the Group’s net profit attributable to owners of the Company in 2015. Such changes in accounting estimates did not create a significant impact on the financial position and operating result of the Group in 2015.

Where the cost of the combination exceeds the acquirer’s interest in the fair value of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets, the difference is recognised as goodwill; where the cost of combination is lower than the acquirer’s interest in the fair value of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets, the difference is recognised in profit or loss for the current year. Costs directly attributable to the combination are included in profit or loss in the period in which they are incurred. Transaction costs associated with the issue of equity or debt securities for the business combination are included in the initially recognised amounts of the equity or debt securities.

III. Summary of significant accounting policies and accounting estimates (Continued)

6. Preparation of consolidated financial statements

The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of the Company and all of its subsidiaries.

Subsidiaries are consolidated from the date on which the Group obtains control and are de-consolidated from the date that such control ceases. For a subsidiary that is acquired in a business combination involving enterprises under common control, it is included in the consolidated financial statements from the date when it, together with the Company, come under common control of the ultimate controlling party. The portion of the net profit realised before the combination date is presented separately in the consolidated income statement.

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 enterprises not under common control, the individual financial statements of the subsidiaries are adjusted based on the fair value of the identifiable net assets at the acquisition date.

All significant inter-group balances, transactions and unrealised profits are eliminated in the consolidated financial statements. The portion of a subsidiary’s equity and the portion of a subsidiary’s net profit and losses for the period as well as comprehensive income not attributable to Company are recognised as minority interests, net profit and losses attributable to minority interests as well as and comprehensive income attributable to minority interests presented separately in the consolidated financial statements within equity and net profit as well as total comprehensive income respectively. The unrealised profit and losses arising from sales of assets to subsidiaries by the Company are fully eliminated against net profit attributable to owners of the Company. The unrealised profit and losses arising from sales of assets to the Company by subsidiaries are eliminated against net profit attributable to owners of the Company as well as net profit attributable to minority interests respectively according to the Company and minority interests’ shareholding on the subsidiaries. The unrealised profit and losses arising from sales of between subsidiaries are eliminated against net profit attributable to owners of the Company as well as net profit attributable to minority interests respectively according to the Company and minority interests’ share holdings on the subsidiary who solds.

The difference on recognising a same transaction between on the accounting subjects of the Group and of the Company or its subsidiaries would be adjusted on the accounting subject of the Group.

7. The recognition of cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand, call deposits with banks and short-term and highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.

8. Foreign currency transaction translation

Foreign currency transactions are translated into RMB using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions.

At the balance sheet date, monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are translated into RMB using the spot exchange rates on the balance sheet date. Exchange differences arising from these translations are recognised in profit or loss for the current year, except for those attributable to foreign currency borrowings that have been taken out specifically for the acquisition or construction of qualifying assets, which are capitalised as part of the cost of those assets. Non-monetary items denominated in foreign currencies that are measured at historical costs are translated at the balance sheet date using the spot exchange rates at the date of the transactions. The effect of exchange rate changes on cash is presented separately in the cash flow statement.

9. Financial instruments

(1). Financial assets

(a) Classification of financial assets

Financial assets are classified into the following categories at initial recognition: financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, receivables, available-for-sale financial assets and held-to-maturity investments. The classification of financial assets depends on the Group’s intention and ability to hold the financial assets. Financial assets held by the Group are receivables and available-for-sale financial assets.

Receivables

Receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market.

Available-for-sale financial assets

Available-for-sale financial assets are non-derivative financial assets that are either designated in this category or not classified in any of the other categories at initial recognition. Available-for-sale financial assets are included in other current assets on the balance sheet if management intends to dispose of them within 12 months after the balance sheet date.

(b) Recognition and measurement of financial assets

Financial assets are recognised at fair value on the balance sheet when the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the financial instrument. In the case of financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, the related transaction costs incurred at the time of acquisition are recognised in profit or loss for the current year. For other financial assets, transaction costs that are attributable to the acquisition of the financial assets are included in their initial recognition amounts.

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss and available-for-sale financial assets are subsequently measured at fair value, while investments in equity instruments are measured at cost when they do not have a quoted market price in an active market and whose fair value cannot be reliably measured. Receivables are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

Gain or loss arising from change in the fair value of financial assets at fair value through profit or loss is recognised in profit or loss. Interests and cash dividends received during the period in which such financial assets are held, as well as the gains or losses arising from disposal of these assets are recognised in profit or loss for the current year.

(c) Impairment of financial assets

The Group assesses the carrying amounts of financial assets other than those at fair value through profit or loss at each balance sheet date. If there is objective evidence that a financial asset is impaired, the Group determines the amount of impairment loss.

A financial asset is impaired and impairment losses are incurred if, and only if, there is objective evidence of impairment as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the asset which has an impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset or group of financial assets that can be reliably estimated.

When an impairment loss on a financial asset carried at amortised cost has occurred, the amount of loss is measured at the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of its estimated future cash flows (excluding future credit losses that have not been incurred). If there is objective evidence that the value of the financial asset recovered and the recovery is related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognised, the previously recognised impairment loss is reversed and the amount of reversal is recognised in profit or loss. When an impairment loss on an available-for-sale financial asset has occurred, the amount of loss is measured at the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of its estimated future cash flows determined according to the market yield of similar financial assets and recognised in profit or loss. Once the above asset impairment loss is recognised, it will not be reversed in the subsequent periods.

(d) Derecognition of financial assets

A financial assets is derecognised when one of the below criteria is met: (1) the contractual rights to receive the cash flows from the financial asset expire; (2) the financial asset has been transferred and the Group transfers substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset to the transferee; or (3) the financial asset has been transferred and the Group has not retained control of the financial asset, although the Group neither transfers nor retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset.

On derecognition of a financial asset, the difference between the carrying amount and the consideration received and the cumulative changes in fair value that had been recognised directly in equity, is recognised in profit or loss.

(2). Financial liabilities

(a) Classification of financial liabilities

Financial liabilities are classified into the following categories at initial recognition: financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss and other financial liabilities. The financial liabilities of the Group are mainly other financial liabilities, including payables, borrowings and bonds payable.

(2). Financial liabilities (Continued)

(b) Recognition and measurement

Payables, including accounts payable and other payables, are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

Borrowings and bonds payable are recognised initially at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

Other financial liabilities with maturities no more than one year are classified as current liabilities. Other financial liabilities with maturities over one year but are due within one year at the balance sheet date are classified as the current portion of non-current liabilities. Others are classified as non-current liabilities.

A financial liability is derecognised or partly derecognised when the current obligation is discharged or partly discharged. The difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability or the derecognised part of the financial liability and the consideration paid is recognised in profit or loss.

(3). Determination of fair value of financial instruments

The fair value of a financial instrument that is traded in an active market is determined at the quoted price in the active market. The fair value of a financial instrument that is not traded in an active market is determined by using a valuation technique. The Group uses current applicable valuation techniques which can be supported by sufficient usable data and other information and chooses inputs by referring to the current fair value of another financial asset that is substantially the same with this instrument dealt in relevant market transactions between willing parties. When a valuation technique is used to establish the fair value of a financial instrument, it makes the maximum use of observable market inputs and relies as little as possible on entity-specific inputs. In case the relevant observable inputs cannot/inpracticably obtained, the unobservable inputs would be used.

10. Receivables

Receivables comprise accounts receivable, long-term receivables and other receivables. Accounts receivable arising from sale of goods or rendering of services are initially recognised at fair value of the contractual payments from the buyers or service recipients.

10. Receivables (Continued)

(1). Receivables that are individually significant and subject to separate provision

Receivables that are individually significant are subject to separate impairment assessment. If there is objective evidence that the Group will not be able to collect the full amount under the original terms, a provision for impairment of that receivable is established.

The criterion applied to
individually significant
balances
For accounts receivable, any individual amount exceeds RMB5,000,000.00
is considered to be “individually significant”; for other receivables, the
criteriais anyindividualamountwhichexceedsRMB1,000,000.00.
Bad debt provision for
receivables that are
individually significant
Bad debt provision is made for the difference between the carrying amount
and the present value of the estimated cash flows.

(2). Receivables that are subject to provision by group with similar credit risk characteristics

For all other receivables that are not individually significant or for which impairment has not yet been identified, the Group performs a collective assessment by including the receivables into group with similar credit risk characteristics and collectively assesses them for impairment. The impairment losses are determined based on the historical actual loss, taking into consideration the current circumstances.

For all other receivables that are not individually significant or for which impairment has not yet been
identified, the Group performs a collective assessment by including the receivables into group with
similar credit risk characteristics and collectively assesses them for impairment. The impairment
losses are determined based on the historical actual loss, taking into consideration the current
circumstances.

(3). Receivables that are not individually significant but subject to separate provision

The basis for separate provision The basis for separate provision is that there is objective
evidence that the Group will not be able to collect the full
amount under the original terms of the receivable.
The provision for bad debts The provision for bad debts is determined based on the
difference of the carrying amount and present value of
estimated future cash flows.

11. Inventories

(1). Classification

Inventories include real estate properties, toll tickets, low value consumables, maintenance and repair parts and materials in stock, and are measured at the lower of cost and net realisable value.

Real estate properties comprise properties developed, properties under development and properties to be developed. Properties developed represent those properties completed and for sale, while properties under development represent those properties still in construction and for the sale purpose, and properties to be developed represent those purchased lands which have been planned to be constructed as properties developed.

(2). Costing of inventories

The cost of properties developed is determined using specific identification method. Cost of real estate properties includes costs of land purchased, construction costs and other costs.The toll tickets, low value consumables, maintenance and repair parts and materials in stock’s costs are determined using the weighted average method.

(3). Basis for the determination of net realisable value and provisions for declines in the value of inventories

Provisions for declines in the value of inventories are determined at the excess of the carrying value of the inventories over their net realisable value. Net realisable value is determined based on the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated costs necessary to achieve completion and to make the sale and related taxes.

12. Held for sale

A non-current asset or a disposal group satisfying the following conditions is classified as held for sale: (1) The non-current asset or disposal group can be disposed immediately according to the customary provisions provided for the disposal of such non-current asset or disposal group; (2) the Group has made a resolution for disposal of the non-current asset or disposal group which has been approved; (3) an irrevocable contract with the transferee has been signed; and (4) the transfer will be completed within one year.

Non-current assets, except for financial assets and deferred income tax assets, that meet the recognition criteria for held for sale are measured at the amount equal to the lower of the fair value less costs to sell and the carrying amount. Any excess of the original carrying amount over the fair value less costs to sell is recognised as an asset impairment loss.

Asset and liability included in the non-current asset or disposal group that has been classified as held for sale are categorised as current asset and current liability should be separately presented in balance sheet.

13. Long-term equity investments

Long-term equity investments comprise the Company’s long-term equity investments in its subsidiaries as well as the Group’s long-term equity investments in its joint ventures and associates.

Subsidiaries are the investees over which the Company is able to exercise control. Joint ventures are the investees over which the Group is able to exercise joint control together with other venturers. Associates are the investees that the Group has significant influence on their financial and operating policies.

Investments in subsidiaries are presented in the Company’s financial statements using the cost method, and are adjusted for preparing the consolidated financial statements using the equity method. Investments in joint ventures and associates are accounted for using the equity method.

(1). Determination of investment costs

For long-term equity investments acquired through a business combination: for long-term equity investment acquired through a business combination involving enterprises not under common control, the investment cost shall be the combination costs.

For long-term equity investments acquired not through a business combination: for long-term equity investment acquired by payment in cash, the initial investment cost shall be the purchase price actually paid; for long-term equity investments acquired by issuing equity securities, the initial investment cost shall be the fair value of the equity securities issued.

(2). Subsequent measurement and the methods of investment income recognition

For long-term equity investments accounted for using the cost method, they are measured at the initial investment costs, and cash dividends or profit distribution declared by the investees are recognised as investment income in profit or loss.

For long-term equity investments accounted for using the equity method, where the initial investment cost of a long-term equity investment exceeds the Group’s share of the fair value of the investee’s identifiable net assets at the acquisition date, the long-term equity investment is measured at the initial investment cost; where the initial investment cost is less than the Group’s share of the fair value of the investee’s identifiable net assets at the acquisition date, the difference is included in profit or loss and the cost of the long-term equity investment is adjusted upwards accordingly.

For long-term equity investments accounted for using the equity method, the Group recognises the investment income according to its share of net profit or loss of the investee. The Group discontinues recognising its share of net losses of an investee after the carrying amount of the long-term equity investment together with any long-term interests that, in substance, form part of the investor’s net investment in the investee are reduced to zero. However, if the Group has obligations for additional losses and the criteria with respect to recognition of provisions under the accounting standards on contingencies are satisfied, the Group continues recognising the investment losses and the provisions. For changes in owners’ equity of the investee other than those arising from its net profit or loss, the Group records its proportionate share directly into capital surplus, provided that the Group’s proportion of shareholding in the investee remains unchanged. The carrying amount of the investment is reduced by the Group’s share of the profit distribution or cash dividends declared by an investee. The unrealised profits or losses arising from the intra-group transactions amongst the Group and its investees are eliminated in proportion to the Group’s equity interest in the investees, and then based on which the investment gains or losses are recognised. For the loss on the intra-group transaction amongst the Group and its investees attributable to asset impairment, any unrealised loss is not eliminated.

13. Long-term equity investments (Continued)

(3). Basis for determination of the existence of control, jointly control or significant influence over the investee

Control is the power to the investee, to make itself exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the investee and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the investee.

Joint control is the contractually agreed sharing of control over an economic activity, and exists only when the strategic financial and operating decisions relating to the activity require the unanimous consent of the parties sharing control.

Significant influence is the power to participate in the financial and operating policy decisions of the investee, but is not control or joint control over those policies.

(4). Impairment of long-term equity investments

The carrying amount of long-term equity investments in subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates is reduced to the recoverable amount if the recoverable amount is below the carrying amount (Note III.19).

14. Investment properties

Investment properties, principally comprising buildings that are held for the purpose of lease, are measured initially at cost. Subsequent expenditures incurred in relation to an investment property is included in the cost of the investment property when it is probable that the associated economic benefits will flow to the Group and its cost can be reliably measured; otherwise, the expenditures are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they are incurred.

The Group adopts the cost model for subsequent measurement of the investment properties. Buildings and land use rights are depreciated or amortised to their estimated net residual values over their estimated useful lives. The estimated useful lives, the estimated net residual values expressed as a percentage of cost and the annual amortisation rates of the investment properties are as follows:

Estimated useful lives Estimated residual value
rate

Annual amortisation
rate
Carparking spaces 30 years -
3.33%

When an investment property is transferred to an owner-occupied property, it is reclassified as fixed asset or intangible asset at the date of the transfer. When an owner-occupied property is transferred for earning rentals or for capital appreciation, the fixed asset or intangible asset is reclassified as investment property at its carrying amount at the date of the transfer.

The estimated useful life, net residual value of the investment property and the amortisation method applied are reviewed and adjusted as appropriate at each year-end.

14. Investment Properties (Continued)

An investment property is derecognised on disposal or when the investment property is permanently withdrawn from use and no future economic benefits are expected from its disposal. The net amount of proceeds from sale, transfer, retirement or damage of an investment property after its carrying amount and related taxes and expenses is recognised in profit or loss for the current year.

The carrying amount of investment properties is reduced to the recoverable amount if the recoverable amount is below the carrying amount (Note III.19).

15. Fixed assets

(1). Recognition and initial measurement of fixed assets

Fixed assets comprise buildings, traffic equipment, motor vehicles, and office and other equipment.

Fixed assets are recognised when it is probable that related economic benefits will flow to the Group and the costs can be reliably measured. Fixed assets purchased or constructed by the Group are initially measured at cost at the date of acquisition. The cost and accumulated depreciation of fixed assets injected by state shareholders to the Company on 1 January 1997 were recognised according to the valuation results performed by the valuer which were certified by the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Bureau in accordance with Guo Zi Ping (1996) No.911.

Subsequent expenditures incurred for a fixed asset are included in the cost of the fixed asset when it is probable that the associated economic benefits will flow to the Group and the related cost can be reliably measured. The carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognised. All the other subsequent expenditures are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they are incurred.

(2). Depreciation methods of fixed assets

Fixed assets are depreciated using the straight-line method to allocate the cost of the assets to their estimated residual values over their estimated useful lives. For the fixed assets that have been provided for impairment loss, the related depreciation charge is prospectively determined based upon the adjusted carrying amounts over their remaining useful lives.

Type Depreciation

15. Fixed assets (Continued)

(3). Impairment of fixed assets

The carrying amount of fixed assets is reduced to the recoverable amount if the recoverable amount is below the carrying amount(Note III.19).

(4). Disposal of fixed assets

A fixed asset is derecognised on disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. The amount of proceeds from disposal on sale, transfer, retirement or damage of a fixed asset net of its carrying amount and related taxes and expenses is recognised in profit or loss for the current year.

16. Construction in progress

Construction in progress is measured at actual cost. Actual cost comprises construction costs, installation costs, borrowing costs that are eligible for capitalisation and other costs necessary to bring the fixed assets ready for their intended use. Construction in progress is transferred to fixed assets when the assets are ready for their intended use, and depreciation begins from the following month. The carrying amount of construction in progress is reduced to the recoverable amount if the recoverable amount is below the carrying amount (Note III.19).

17. Borrowing costs

The borrowing costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition and construction of a fixed asset that needs a substantially long period of time of acquisition and construction for its intended use commence to be capitalised and recorded as part of the cost of the asset when expenditures for the asset and borrowing costs have been incurred, and the activities relating to the acquisition and construction that are necessary to prepare the asset for its intended use have commenced. The capitalisation of borrowing costs ceases when the asset under acquisition or construction becomes ready for its intended use, the borrowing costs incurred thereafter are recognised in profit or loss for the current year. Capitalisation of borrowing costs is suspended during periods in which the acquisition or construction of a fixed asset is interrupted abnormally and the interruption lasts for more than 3 months, until the acquisition or construction is resumed.

For the specific borrowings obtained for the acquisition or construction of a qualifying asset, the amount of borrowing costs eligible for capitalisation is determined by deducting any interest income earned from depositing the unused specific borrowings in the banks or any investment income arising on the temporary investment of those borrowings during the capitalisation period.

For the general borrowings obtained for the acquisition or construction of a qualifying asset, the amount of borrowing costs eligible for capitalisation is determined by applying the weighted average effective interest rate of general borrowings used, to the weighted average of the excess amount of cumulative expenditures on the asset over the amount of specific borrowings. The effective interest rate is the rate at which estimated future cash flows during the period of expected duration or shorter period applied discounted to the initial amount of the borrowings.

18. Intangible assets

Intangible assets include concession intangible assets, billboard use right and software and are measured at cost.

(1). Concession intangible assets

Concession intangible assets refer to the rights granted by the respective concession grantors, which entitle the Group to receive the toll fees from users and land use right obtained in conjunction with the concession arrangement. Rather than provide construction services by itself, the Group subcontracts all the infrastructure construction to other parties, concession intangible assets are therefore measured at actual cost, which comprises construction related costs and borrowing costs that are eligible for capitalisation and incurred before the toll roads are ready for their intended use. The concession intangible assets are first stated at actual project costs or budget costs and then adjusted when project completion audit are finalised.

The concession intangible assets relating to the toll roads injected by the state-owned shareholders on 1 January 1997 were stated at valuation, which were performed by the asset valuation firms and certified by the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Bureau in accordance with Guo Zi Ping (1996) No.911. The land-use right relating to Shenzhen Airport-Heao Expressway (Western Section) injected to the Company by the promoter of the Company during the restructuring period was stated at revaluation admitted by State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Bureau on 30 June 1996. The land-use right relating to Meiguan Expressway owned by Shenzhen Meiguan Expressway Company Limited (“Meiguan Company”), the subsidiary, was injected by Xin Tong Chan Development (Shenzhen) Company Limited (“Xin Tong Chan Company”), one of the promoters of the Company, at value specified in related investment agreement.

When toll roads are ready for their intended use, amortisation of concession intangible assets is calculated to write off their costs on a units-of-usage basis (“unit usage”), whereby amortisation is provided based on the proportion of actual traffic volume of a particular period over the total projected traffic volume throughout the operation periods.

The Company assesses of the total projected traffic volume annually. The Group will appoint an independent professional traffic consultant to perform independent professional traffic studies when material difference exists and probably endures or every 3 to 5 years and then prospectively adjust the amortisation unit according to the revised total projected traffic volume, to ensure that the relative concession intangible assets would be fully amortised in the operation periods.

Subsequent expenditures incurred for concession intangible assets are included in the cost of the concession intangible assets when it is probable that the associated economic benefits will flow to the Group and the related cost can be reliably measured. All the other subsequent expenditures are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they are incurred.

(2). Other intangible assets

Billboard use rights are amortised on the straight-line basis over their approved useful lives of 5 years. Purchased software is amortised on the straight-line basis over their contracted useful lives of 5-10 years.

(3). Periodical review of useful life and amortisation method

For an intangible asset with a finite useful life, review and adjustment on its useful life and amortisation method are performed at each year-end.

(4). Impairment of intangible assets

The carrying amount of intangible assets is reduced to the recoverable amount if the recoverable amount is below the carrying amount (Note III.19).

19. Impairment of long-term assets

Fixed assets, construction in progress, intangible assets with finite useful lives, investment properties measured using the cost model and long-term equity investments in subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates are tested for impairment if there is any indication that an asset may be impaired at the balanc sheet date. Intangible asset that is not ready for its intended use is tested at least annually for impairment, irrespective of whether there is any indication that it may be impaired. If the result of the impairment test indicates that the recoverable amount of the asset is less than its carrying amount, a provision for impairment and an impairment loss are recognised for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs to sell and the present value of the future cash flows expected to be derived from the asset. Provision for asset impairment is determined and recognised on the individual asset basis. If it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the recoverable amount of a group of assets to which the asset belongs is determined. A group of assets is the smallest group of assets that is able to generate independent cash inflows.

Goodwill that is separately presented in the financial statements is tested at least annually for impairment, irrespective of whether there is any indication that it may be impaired. In conducting the test, the carrying value of goodwill is allocated to the related asset groups or groups of asset groups which are expected to benefit from the synergies of the business combination. If the result of the test indicates that the recoverable amount of an asset group or group of asset groups, including the goodwill allocated, is lower than its carrying amount, the corresponding impairment loss is recognised. The impairment loss is first deducted from the carrying amount of goodwill that is allocated to the asset group or group of asset groups, and then deducted from the carrying amounts of other assets within the asset groups or groups of asset groups in proportion to the carrying amounts of other assets.

Once the above asset impairment loss is recognised, it will not be reversed for the value recovered in the subsequent periods.

20. Long-term prepaid expenses

Long-term prepaid expenses include the prepaid expenditures that have been made but should be recgonised as expenses over more than one year in the current and subsequent periods. Long-term prepaid expenses are amortised on the straight-line basis over the expected beneficial period and are presented at actual expenditure net of accumulated amortisation.

21. Employee benefits

Employee benefits represent all kinds of allowances and compensations paid by the Group for services rendered by employees or for termination of employment relationship, which mainly include short-term wages, pension benefits, termination of employment benefits and other long-term staff welfares.

(1). Accounting treatment of short-term wages

Short-term wages include wages or salaries, bonuses, allowances and subsidies, staff welfare, medical insurance, work injury insurance, maternity insurance, housing funds, labour union funds, employee education funds and short term paid absence and etc. Actual short-term wages are recognised as liabilities in the periods when the employees render services and are charged into profit or loss or capitalised in costs of related assets. The non-monetary welfare is measured at fair value.

21. Employee benefits (Continued)

(2). Accounting treatment of pension benefits

The Group classifies the retirement benefit plans as defined contribution plans and defined benefit plans. A defined contribution plan is a pension plan under which the Group pays fixed contributions into a separate fund and the Group has no legal or constructive obligations to pay further contributions. A defined benefit plan is a pension plan that is not a defined contribution plan. During the reporting period, the Group’s pension benefits are basic pension insurance and unemployment insurance which are all defined contribution plans.

(a) Basic pension insurance

The Group’s employees participated in the basic social pension insurance organised and implemented by local labour and social security bureau. The Group paid the basic pension issuance expenses monthly to designated insurance companies for its employees according to the basis amounts and rates determined by the local regulations. After retirement, local labour and social security bureau is responsible for paying the pension benefit to the retired employees. The amounts of pension insurance payable calculated according to the above regulations are recognised as liabilities during the periods when the employees render services and are charged to profit or loss or capitalised in costs of related assets.

(b) Enterprise annuities plan

Besides the above social basic pension insurance, the Company establishes an enterprise annuities plan in accordance with relevant national enterprise annuity system policies (“enterprise annuities plan”), in which the Group’s employees can voluntarily participate. The corresponding expenditures that appropriated by the certain proportion of employees’ total wages, are recorded in profit or loss for the current year. Exception for this, the Company did not have any other significant social insurance comment to its employees.

(3). Accounting treatment of termination benefits

The Group provides compensation for the termination of employment relationship before the expiry of employment contracts or compensation to encourage employees’ voluntary layoffs, which is recognised as a liability and charged to profit or loss on the earlier one when the Group is unable to unilaterally withdraw the plan on the termination of employment relationship or the layoff proposal and costs and expenses in relation to the payment of compensation to the termination of employment relationship are recognised.

22. Provisions

As part of its obligations under the respective service concessions, the Group assumes responsibility for the maintenance and resurfacing of the toll roads it operates. Provisions for maintenance and resurfacing are recognised when the Group has a present obligation, it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation, and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably.

III. Summary of significant accounting policies and accounting estimates (Continued)

22. Provisions (Continued)

A provision is initially measured at the best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the related present obligation. Factors surrounding a contingency, such as the risks, uncertainties and the time value of money, are taken into account as a whole in reaching the best estimate of a provision. Where the effect of the time value of money is material, the best estimate is determined by discounting the related future cash outflows. The increase in the discounted amount of the provision arising from passage of time is recognised as interest expense.

The carrying amount of provisions is reviewed at each balance sheet date and adjusted to reflect the current best estimate.

23. Dividends distribution

Cash dividend is recognised as a liability for the period in which the dividend is approved in the shareholders’ meeting.

24. Revenue recognition

The amount of revenue is determined in accordance with the fair value of the consideration received or receivable for the sale of services in the ordinary course of the Group’s activities.

Revenue is recognised when the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the Group, the related revenue can be reliably measured, and the specific revenue recognition criteria have been met for each type of the Group’s activities as described below:

(1). The Group’s toll revenue from the operations of toll roads is recognised when the related services have been provided, revenue and total costs can be measured reliably and economic benefits with transaction can flow into the Group.

(2). For construction management services income, when the outcome of the construction management services can be estimated reliably, related income is recognised using the percentage of completion method and the stage of completion is measured by making reference to the project construction costs and related management expenses incurred to date as a percentage to the total estimated construction costs and management expenses. When the outcome of the construction management services cannot be estimated reliably, construction management services income is recognised at the same amount of project management expenses incurred only to the extent that such expenses are probable to be recovered.

(3). For the service concessions contracts entered with the government departments, according to which the Group participates in developing, financing, operating and maintenance of the toll road construction, the Group recognised revenue and cost of services using the percentage of completion method during the construction period if the Group undertake the construction work on its own. The stage of completion is measured by reference to construction costs of the related infrastructures incurred up to the settlement date as a percentage of total estimated costs for each contract. No construction services income would be recognised if the Group sub-contract the work to other parties.

24. Revenue recognition (Continued)

(4). Revenue from construction consulting services is recognised based on the percentage of completion of the contract, provided that the revenue, the costs incurred and the estimated costs to completion can be measured reliably as at the balance sheet date. The percentage of completion is estimated by reference to the percentage of work completed, or to the percentage of services provided, or to the costs incurred to date as compared to the total costs to be incurred under the contract. When the outcome of the services provided cannot be estimated reliably, services income is recognised at the same amount of service costs incurred only to the extent that such expenses are probable to be recovered.

(5). Advertising revenue is recognised on a straight-line basis over the contract period.

(6). Interest income is determined by using the effective interest method, based on the length of time for which the Group’s cash is used by others.

(7). Income from an operating lease is recognised on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease.

25. Government grants

Government grants are transfers of monetary or non-monetary assets from the government to the Group at nil consideration, including refund of taxes and financial subsidies, etc.

A government grant is recognised when the condition attached to it is fulfilled and the grant can be received. The monetary grant from the government is measured at amount received or receivable. The non-monetary grant from the government is measured at its fair value.

(1). The criterion and accounting treatment of government grants related to assets

Government grants related to assets represent grants obtained from government which are to compensate long-term assets purchased or other ways.

Government grants related to assets are recognised as deferred income and evenly included in profit or loss over the useful period of related assets. Government grants measured at their nominal amounts shall be directly included in profit or loss for the current year.

(2). The criterion and accounting treatment of government grants related to income

Government grants related to income represent those government grants other than related to assets.

For government grants related to income, where the grant is a compensation for related expenses or losses to be incurred by the Group in the subsequent periods, the grant is recognised as deferred income, and included in profit or loss over the periods in which the related costs are recognised; where the grant is a compensation for related expenses or losses already incurred by the Group, the grant is recognised immediately in profit or loss for the current year.

26. Deferred income tax assets and deferred income tax liabilities

Deferred income tax assets and deferred income tax liabilities are calculated and recognised based on the differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts (temporary differences). Deferred income tax asset is recognised for the deductible losses that can be carried forward to subsequent years for deduction of the taxable profit in accordance with the tax laws. No deferred income tax liability is recognised for a temporary difference arising from the initial recognition of goodwill. No deferred income tax asset or deferred income tax liability is recognised for the temporary differences resulting from the initial recognition of assets or liabilities due to a transaction other than a business combination, which affects neither accounting profit nor taxable profit (or deductible loss). At the balance sheet date, deferred income tax assets and deferred income tax liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realised or the liability is settled.

Deferred income tax assets are only recognised for deductible temporary differences, deductible losses and tax credits to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available in the future against which the deductible temporary differences, deductible losses and tax credits can be utilised.

Deferred income tax liabilities are recognised for temporary differences arising from investments in subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates, except where the Group is able to control the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference, and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future. When it is probable that the temporary differences arising from investments in subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates will be reversed in the foreseeable future and that the taxable profit will be available in the future against which the temporary differences can be utilised, the corresponding deferred income tax assets are recognised.

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are offset when:

  • The deferred income taxes are related to the same tax payer within the Group and the same taxation authority; and,

  • That tax payer has a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets against current tax liabilities.

27. Other significant accounting policies and accounting estimates

Segment information

The Group identifies operating segments based on the internal organisation structure, management requirements and internal reporting system, and discloses segment information of reportable segments which is determined on the basis of operating segments.

An operating segment is a component of the Group that satisfies all of the following conditions: (1) the component is able to earn revenues and incur expenses from its ordinary activities; (2) whose operating results are regularly reviewed by the Group’s management to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and to assess its performance, and (3) for which the information on financial position, operating results and cash flows is available to the Group. If two or more operating segments have similar economic characteristics and satisfy certain conditions, they are aggregated into one single operating segment.

(1). Changes in accounting estimates of deferred income tax assets

During the fourth quarter of 2014, Guangle Expressway (Guangzhou – Lechang, in Guangdong), being the parallel road of Qinglian Expressway, and Erguang Expressway (Lianzhou to Huaiji section, in Guangdong) commenced operation. As the construction of the link between Guangqing Expressway and Qinglian Expressway was delayed, and it has much more negative impact on Qinglian Expressway than expected. Based on operating performance of 2015 and the estimates of future traffic volume and revenue, the Group changed its accounting estimates of deferred income tax assets in relation to Qinglian Company’s tax losses at the end of 2015. Pursuant to the approval of the Board of Directors of the Company, the Group adjusted the deferred income tax assets of Qinglian Company prospectively as at 31 December 2015. The accounting impacts to 2015 as follows:

Amount
Increaseindeferredincome tax liabilities (Note1) 45,934,300.00
Decreasein minorityinterests 10,854,275.09
Increasein income taxexpenses 45,934,300.00
Decreaseinprofit andlosses attributable tominorityinterests 10,854,275.09
Decreasein net profit attributable to owners ofthe Company 35,080,024.91

Note 1: The change in accounting estimate decreased the Group’s deferred income tax assets before offset by RMB45,934,300.00 as at 31 December 2015. Taken account of the offsetting effect, the change in accounting estimate increased the Group’s net balance of deferred income tax liabilities by RMB45,934,300.00 as at 31 December 2015.

The change in accounting estimates will decrease the magnitude of deferred income tax assets to be utilised of Qinglian Company in the future.

29. Other critical accounting estimates and judgments:

The Group continuously evaluates the critical accounting estimates and key judgments applied based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable.

The critical accounting estimates and key assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are addressed below.

(1). The estimation of construction management services income and costs

As stated in Note III.24(2), when the outcome of the construction management services can be estimated reliably, related income is recognised using the percentage of completion method.

During the current year, the directors of the Company recognised construction management services income and costs according to the optimum estimation on the total investment top limit, project costs as well as other construction management services costs.

If the audited total investment top limit and project costs as well as the actual construction management services income costs is different from management’s current estimates, the construction management services income and costs will be changed prospectively.

(2). Amortisation of concession intangible assets

As stated at Note III.18(1), amortisation of concession intangible assets is provided under the traffic volume amortisation method. Appropriate adjustments to the amortisation of concession intangible assets will be made should there be a material difference between total projected traffic volume and the actual results.

The directors perform periodic assessment on the total projected traffic volume. The Group will appoint an independent professional traffic consultant to perform independent professional traffic studies and make an appropriate adjustment if there is a material difference between projected and actual traffic volume. The Group appointed independent professional traffic consultants to perform independent professional traffic studies on its main toll roads in 2006, 2010, 2013, 2014 and 2015 and prospectively adjusted the amortisation unit according to the revised total projected traffic volume.

The Company has entered into an agreement with Transport Commission of Shenzhen Municipality (“Shenzhen Transportation Bureau”) related to the tolls adjustment and compensation arrangements of Nanguang Expressway, Yanpai Expressway and Yanba Expressway (the “Three Expressways”)(Note V.27 (a)) at the end of 2015. The Company will retain its fee entitle right of the Three Expressways from 7 February 2016 to 31 December 2018 and, the agreement does not change amortisation method of the Three Expressways as concession intangible assets. The amortisation is still based on expected traffic volume during the concession periods.

(3). Provisions for maintenance/resurfacing obligations

As stated at Note III.22, the Group has contractual obligations under the service concessions to maintain the toll road infrastructure to a specified level of serviceability. These obligations to maintain or restore the infrastructure, except for upgrading services, are to be recognised and measured as a provision.

The expenditures expected to incur in order to settle the obligations are determined based on the frequency of major maintenance and resurfacing activities throughout the operating periods of toll roads operated by the Group under the service concessions and the expected costs to be incurred for each event. The expected costs for maintenance and resurfacing and the timing of such events involve the directors’ estimates. Such estimates are developed based on the Group’s resurfacing plan and historical costs incurred for similar activities. The costs are then discounted to the present value based on the market rate which can reflect the time value of money and the risks specific to this obligation.

If the expected expenditures, resurfacing plan and discount rate are different from management’s current estimates, the provision for maintenance/resurfacing will be changed prospectively.

(4). Income tax and deferred income tax

The Group is subject to income taxes in several jurisdictions. There are many transactions and events for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain during the ordinary course of business. Significant judgment is required from the Group in determining the provision for income taxes in each of these jurisdictions. Where the final tax outcome of these matters is different from the amounts that were initially recorded, such differences will impact the income tax and deferred income tax provisions in the period in which such determination is made.

The Group recognises deferred income tax assets based on estimates that it is probable to generate enough taxable incomes in the foreseeable future that the deductible losses will be utilised. The recognition of deferred income tax assets mainly involved management’s judgments and estimations about the timing and the amount of taxable incomes of the company which has tax loss. Where the final outcome of timing and amount is different from that initially estimated, such differences will impact the current income taxes and deferred income tax assets in the period in which such determination is made.

(5). Impairment assessment of concession intangible assets

In accordance with the accounting policies mentioned in Note III.19, the Group would perform impairment test for intangible assets if there is any indication that an asset may be impaired at the balance sheet date. Because there was an indication that Qinglian Expressway suffered an impairment loss in the current year, the Company assessed its recoverable amount of the concession intangible assets and provision for impairment losses has been made for the concession intangible assets of Qinglian Expressway in the consolidated financial statements of 2015 amounting to RMB 620 million. Provision for impairment losses has been made for long-term equity investments in the Company financial statements of 2015 amounting to RMB 680 million.

(5). Impairment assessment of concession intangible assets (Continued)

The Company assessed the recoverable amount of the concession intangible assets of Qinglian Expressway by discounting the future cash flows expected to be derived from projected traffic volume in the remaining concession period, which was estimated by an independent professional traffic volume organisation. The Company appointed an independent valuer to estimate the recoverable amount of Qinglian Expressway based on estimated traffic volume. Forecasting and valuation aforesaid required estimates and assumptions used in calculating cash flow model. Assumptions used by the Company were mainly based on market conditions as at the evaluation date, including estimated growth of traffic volume, regional economic development, impact of future expressway network planning to the traffic volume, impact of expressway conditions and overhaul and maintenance fees, applicable tax rates of business tax and corporate income tax, and discounted rates equivalent to business risk. The discount rate used by the Company is 8.45%. If these circumstances change in the future, such a change will have impacts on the recoverable amount of the concession intangible assets of Qinglian Expressway.

(6). Estimate of fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired

In the current year, the Group acquired additional 10% interests in Qinglong Company by acquiring 100% equity interests in Fameluxe Company at a preliminary cash consideration of RMB 280 million. After completion of the transaction, the Company will directly and indirectly hold an aggregate of 50% equity interests of Qinglong Company. Please refer to Note VI.2 for acquisition details. In accordance with the policies mentioned in Note III.5(1), identifiable net assets acquired shall be measured at fair value at the acquisition date.

The Company assessed the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired based on the projected traffic volume of Shuiguan Expressway estimated by an independent professional traffic volume consultant and the valuation of Shuiguan Expressway performed by independent evaluation consultant, as well as triggering condition for consideration adjustment in purchase agreement: 1) Qinglong Company and the local government authority enter into an agreement in relation to the traffic management arrangement and adjustment scheme of Shuiguan Expressway on or before 31 December 2016, and if the comparable price is lower the preliminary consideration; 2) from the date of signing of the share transfer agreement to 31 December 2016, the aforesaid adjustment agreement is not yet entered into and the relevant government authorities failed to grant the approval for the extension application of Shuiguan Expressway, or if the extension period of concession granted under the approval is shorter than five years. Based on available information and data, the Company made the best estimate that Qinglong Company was probable to obtain an approval of additional 4 tolling years before 31 December 2016, and the acquisition consideration of the 10% interests was estimated at RMB 266 million. Therefore, the fair value of 50% equity shares of Qinglong Company was approximately RMB 1,330 million, of which RMB 900 million was recognised as investment income on income statement as an increase of the fair value of the 40% equity shares originally held by the Company (Note VI.2).

As at 31 December 2015 and 31 December 2014, available-for-sale financial assets represented the Company’s investment in 15% of United Electronic Company’s equity interests. Since such unlisted equity share did not have a quoted market price in an active market, there is a very large range of variations in its reasonable fair value estimate, as well as the types of probability data, used for determining the fair value, the fair value of the available-for-sale financial assets cannot be reliably measured. Hence it is measured at cost. The Group does not have any plan to dispose the available-for-sale financial assets.

(a) On 30 November 2015, the Company signed an agreement with Shenzhen Transportation Bureau regarding toll adjustment and compensation arrangement of the Three Expressways. The first phase will commence from 7 February 2016 to 31 December 2018, namely 2 years plus 10 months and 24 days. During this phase, under the circumstance that the Company retains the fee entitlement right and is responsible for the maintenance and repair of the Three Expressways, Shenzhen Transportation Bureau will purchase passing service of the related section from the Company and provide corresponding cash compensation for exemption of tolls. The Company and the Government will jointly engage third party consultant to audit the actual amount of toll revenue for the Three Expressways in each of the financial years and settle with the adjusted actual traffic volume according to the agreed approach. The second phase will commence from 1 January 2019 to maturity of the operating period of the Three Expressways. In this phase, Shenzhen Transportation Bureau may select to adopt one of the two available options, namely Option 1 and Option 2 on the basis of different conditions. Under Option 1, the Company and Shenzhen Transportation Bureau will continue to implement toll-free in the same manner in Phase 1 until the end of their respective operation periods. Under Option 2, the fee entitlement right of the Three Expressways will be returned to Shenzhen Transportation Bureauin exchange for an one-off cash compensation. Pursuant to the Three Expressways Adjustment Agreement, it is agreed to implement toll-free for the Three Expressways on 7 February 2016 in two phases in exchange for the cash compensation based on adjustment mechanism imposed by Shenzhen Transportation Bureau. As at 31 December 2015, the Company had received the first cash compensation amounting to RMB6,588,000,000.00, of which RMB548,920,000.00 is the cash compensation of 2016. The agreement has been approved by the Company’s shareholders’ meeting on 29 January 2016.

VIII. Financial instruments and risk

The Group's activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk (primarily foreign exchange risk and interest rate risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. The Group's overall risk management programme focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on the Group's financial performance.

1. Foreign exchange risk

The Group’s major operational activities are carried out in Mainland China and majority of the transactions are denominated in RMB. The Group is exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from the recognised assets and liabilities, and future transactions denominated in foreign currencies, primarily with respect to HK dollars. The Group’s finance department at its headquarters is responsible for monitoring the amount of assets and liabilities, and transactions denominated in foreign currencies to mitigate the foreign exchange risk. The Group has entered into cross currency interest rate swap contract to minimise foreign exchange risk.

As at 31 December 2015 and 31 December 2014, the carrying amounts in RMB equivalent of the Group’s assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are summarized below:

- 23,731,155.15

As of 31 December, 2015 and 31 December, 2014, the directors considered that the Group did not bear significant foreign exchange risk as the amount of financial assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currency was not material.

VIII. Financial instruments and risk (Continued)

2. Interest rate risk

The Group's interest rate risk arises from long-term interest bearing borrowings including long-term borrowings and bonds payable. Financial liabilities issued at floating rates expose the Group to cash flow interest rate risk. Financial liabilities issued at fixed rates expose the Group to fair value interest rate risk. The Group determines the relative proportions of its fixed rate and floating rate contracts depending on the prevailing market conditions. As at 31 December 2015, the Group’s long-term interest bearing borrowings and bonds payable with floating rates amounting to RMB2,371,928,764.00 (31 December 2014: RMB3,898,864,000.00).

Increases in interest rates will increase the cost of new borrowing and the interest expenses with respect to the Group’s outstanding floating rate borrowings, and therefore could have a material adverse effect on the Group’s financial position. The Group’s finance department at its headquarters continuously monitors the interest rate position of the Group and makes decisions with reference to the latest market conditions.

In current year, if interest rates on the floating rate borrowings and bonds payable had risen/fallen 50 basis points while all other variables hold constant, the Group’s net profit would have decreased/increased by approximately RMB12,613,227.40 (31 December 2014: approximately RMB15,377,241.42).

3. Credit risk

The Group expects that there is no significant credit risk. The carrying values of cash at bank and on hand and receivables accounted for the maximum credit risk of the Group.

The table below shows the bank deposits of the major counterparties of the Group as at the balance sheet date:

31 December 2015 31 December 2014
State-owned banks 2,956,678,979.73 689,678,681.03
Other banks 3,452,968,069.13 933,174,475.93
Total 6,409,647,048.86 1,622,853,156.96

It is expected that there is no significant credit risk associated with the bank deposits as the state-owned banks have the support of the government and the others are the listed banks or commercial banks at large/medium scale. The management does not expect any losses from breaching the contracts of these counterparties.

Due to the business nature of the Group, as at 31 December 2015, the Group’s management services revenue due from government authorities in Guizhou Longli County relating to the Longli BT Project and Longli Resettlement (Phase I) Project were approximately RMB0.432 billion (31 December 2014: approximately RMB2.499 billion) in aggregate, the directors of the Company considered that the related credit risks were controllable. The Group did not have other significant concern of credit risk arising from other customers.

4. Liquidity risk

Cash flow forecasting is performed by each subsidiary of the Group and aggregated by the Group’s finance department in its headquarters. The Group’s finance department at its headquarters monitors rolling forecasts of the Group's short-term and long-term liquidity requirements to ensure it has sufficient cash and securities that are readily convertible to cash to meet operational needs, while maintaining sufficient headroom on its undrawn committed borrowing facilities from major financial institution so that the Group does not breach borrowing limits or covenants on any of its borrowing facilities so as to meet the short-term and long-term liquidity requirements.

The financial assets and liabilities of the Group as at the balance sheet date are analysed by their maturity date below at their undiscounted contractual cash flows:

31 December 2015 31 December 2015 31 December 2015 31 December 2015 31 December 2015

Note 1: Payables comprise accounts payable and other payables.

Note 2: Excluding current portion of provisions for maintenance/resurfacing obligations.

Since the Group has steady and sufficient cash flow from operation, sufficient banking facilities and proper financing arrangement to fulfill the needs of payment of debts and capital expenditures, the directors consider that the Group has no significant liquidity risk.

IX. Fair value disclosure

Based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety, the fair value hierarchy has the following levels:

Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

  • Level 2: Inputs observable directly or indirectly for identical assets or liabilities other than inputs included within level 1;

  • Level 3: Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data.

As at 31 December 2015 and 31 December 2014, the Group has no financial asset or liability constantly measured at fair value by the above three levels.

1. Assets and liabilities with fair value disclosure but not measured at fair value

Financial liabilities measured at amortisation cost mainly include accounts receivable, short-term borrowings, current portion of long-term borrowings, current portion of bond payables, accounts payable, long-term borrowings, bonds payable and other non-current liabilities.

Except for the financial liabilities listed below, the carrying amounts of financial assets and liabilities not measured at fair value approximated to their fair values.

Note 1: Other payables only comprise the received compensation for toll charges adjustment.

The fair value of long-term borrowings with fixed interest rates and bonds payable with fixed interest rates not quoted in an active market is the present value of the contractual future cash flows discounted at the rate of interest applied at that time by the market to instruments of comparable credit status and providing substantially the same cash flows on the same terms.
