2005 Chapter 8 Directors' Report Chapter 8 Directors' Report (I) Discussion and analysis of the Management 1. Review of the Company s operation in the report period (1) Overall operation in the report period 2005 was the toughest year for the operation of the cement industry. With the gradual occurrence of effect of the state macro control policy, the growth rate of the fixed assets investment decreased, the real estate business was cooling and the production and sales of cement slowed down, so that the cement was becoming more and more oversupplied. Capacity redundancy led to the falling of prices, meanwhile due to dual pressure from the price escalation of coal and power, the profit of the whole industry decreased substantially. According to the statistic results of China cements, in 2005, the cement output in China reached 1.048 billion tons, and yearly growth was 11.7%; the sales revenue of the cement was 260.835 billion yuan, with an increase of 16.2% compared with the same period of last year; the total cement profit was only 8.050 billion yuan, a decrease of 38.0% compared with the same period last year. In 2005, the Company also faced austere external marketing environment. On one hand, the release of the capacity in 2004~05 from the overheated investment in last few years led to the over surplus of cement production capacity, causing a decrease in the prices, so that the Company s annual average sales price fell to the lowest point in 10 years; on the other hand, the price of coal and power which accounts for 60% of the cost of the product was rising sharply as compared to 2004, thus the cost took away the profit. So the profitability failed to improve with the expansion of the capacity, and the production capacity was not brought into play, the production and operation of the Company went to low level. Facing with challenges and difficulties, the Company adopted effective measures. The Company not only made good operation achievements, but also enlarged the capacity, increased the market share and enhanced the competitiveness. At present, the Company has the capacity of a yearly output of 12 million tons of clinker or 22 million tons of cement, making the Company the influential leader in the industry. The main measures are: In production, the Company further refined the management. With the IT as the basis, and flat, matrix, coordination, benefit, efficiency, and innovation as principle, the operating efficiency of the equipment system as breakthrough point, the Company optimized the operating index and efficiency to control the operating cost. Discarded the out-of-date process, adjusted the operating plans of 3 wet-process kiln and 6 dry-process kiln production lines that consume high energy, and replaced the production with new dry-process production lines, so as to guarantee the overall balance of the Group. In marketing, the Company emphasized the rationality, act or not according the situation. The Company timely decreased the sales in Shanghai, and made more sales effort in Hubei, to raise market share, while seeking for new sales channel, and restarting export. The priority was still given to the benefit. Participated in price competition, but did not initiate the price competition. In the development, the Company took strategic management as a method, to make overall planning, and standardize the management. Project planning, construction, capital, staffing, project operation, product sales were carried out in due order, the newly built projects had already become the main profit sources of the Company. In 2005, the Company has already built 600801-G -426 K5 AR EN.doc 20

Outlook of the future development of the Company (1) Development and Competition 2006 is the beginning year of the eleventh five year plan period. As the major industry in cycling economy cement industry will step into a new development phase. The growth rate of China s GDP and the fixed asset investment are expected to remain at high level in the eleventh five year period. The increase of the investment in the industrialization, urbanization and the infrastructural construction will lead to the further development of the cement industry. There will be more new type dry process lines, considering that the Chinese cement industry is not intensified, and that the backward capacities cover over half of the total national capacity. The further upgrading of the cement industrial structure, scaled production, and intensive operation will be the general trend of the cement industrial development; large enterprises will still keep the competitive advantage by means of the acquisitions and mergers in order to gain the opportunity of quickening the development. But in 2006, the cement industry is in the down cycle of the development, so the growth ratio may be lower than the GDP s. With the gradual putting into production of the capacity from the investment in previous years, it is predicated that the whole production output of the cement will be up to about 1.13 billion tons, the output still increases as compared with that of last year. However, the investment of the cement will continue to fall, due to the state macro control, decrease in the cement demand growth and the over rapid increase in the cement capacity in the previous years. China Cement Association predicts that there will be 50 new dry process cement production lines and the new increased capacity will reach 40 million tons in 2006. In the end of year 2006, the China s cement capacity will be up to 1.37 billion tons, the percentage of the output from the new dry process will be about 45% in 2006 from 40% in 2005, and then the structure will be further optimized. The effects of energy saving, environmental protection and developing cycling economy will gradually appear. In 2006, the cement price will continue to keep in a low level with little fluctuation, but in some areas there may be a slight rebound. Supply exceeding demand, obvious surplus capacity of lagged process and slow demand are the main reasons which makes it difficult for the cement price to rise. Although the cement price still keeps at the low level, it shall be prospective for the 600801-G -426 K5 AR EN.doc 23

2005 Chapter 8 Directors' Report cement enterprises to recover to the general level profitability in 2006. The Company is a big influential group in Chinese cement industry, and is the biggest cement manufacturer in the mid-south China area, with its capacity in the lead in the country. At present, the company has carried out the strategy arrangement in each area in Hubei preceding any rival, and the capacity will be up to 30 million tons in one or two years; the marketing share will exceed 40% in Hubei, it is easy to see that the area competitive advantage is obvious. As the midland, Hubei will keep the growth ratio of the fixed asset investment at a level above the national average a lot, which will create the conditions for the Company to lead the regulated and ordered competition of the cement market in this area. Looking forward to another target market east China, it is predicated that the cement market will still continue the status of the year 2005, the supply will exceed the demand seriously, the competition will be bitter, the price will also be at a low level, so it is difficult to foresee a big change in the market. In 2006, with the acceleration of the investment for construction in coal industry, the tension in the coal supply will be relieved effectively. The State Development and Reform Commission predicts that the total output of the coal in the year will be up to 2.2 billion tons, and the demand 2.16 billion tons, the supply can balance the demand. It is predicted that the coal shortage which limited production once a while will not occur in 2006. With the drive of levying regulating fund of the coal price which was started in the second half year of 2005, adjustment in the coal resource tax, coal and power linkage policy, it is predicted that the ex-mine price of the coal will still be at high level with little fluctuation. Compared with the year of 2005, although the procurement price of the coal will still keep the high market level, the quality of the coal will improve, so the procurement price of the coal which is calculated according to the specific heat value will decrease accordingly. Additionally, another big energy which influences the cost of the company power, without the shortage in 2006, the price will continue to keep at high level, but if the state implements the coal and power linkage policy, the situation which the rising price of the coal drives the rising price of the power may occur. In December 2005, the State Council issued Provisional Regulations on Promoting Industrial Restructuring and the Table of Contents of Guidelines for Industrial Restructuring. The industrial restructuring policy and the new environmental protection standard which will be implemented as from July 1, 2006 will restrain the production of the small cement companies, which is a new opportunity for large cement enterprises. But the actual impact in 2006 is to be observed. (2) Future development opportunity and operation plan for the new year The new industrial restructuring policy and environmental protection standard will further the step to use the new dry process cement production line to replace the lagged cement production lines, such as shaft kiln, wet process kiln and so on; to save the energy, develop cycling economy; build new socialist country side, reduce the gap between the city and the village; the leading market Hubei will keep the growth rate of the fixed asset investment at around 30% in 2006, and it will be the main strategy point to promote the uprising of the middle China. The above will become the future development opportunity for the Company. Operation plan of the new year in 2006, produce 13 million tons clinker, 20 million tons cement, and RMC 600,000m 3 ; the total output of equipment 10 k tons, sales revenue 4.3 billion yuan. (3) Capital expenditure plan In 2006, the Company shall continue to increase the cement production lines according to strategic planning and layout. The total investment of the project is 1.269 billion yuan. The sources of the fund: a. cash flow from the operation activities 0.527 billion yuan, b. net increase of the bank loan 0.383 billion yuan, c. the rest fund from equity financing. 600801-G -426 K5 AR EN.doc 24

2005 Chapter 11 Accounts and Auditors' Reports International Auditors' Report (All amounts in Rmb thousands unless otherwise stated) Notes to the Accounts 1. General information (the Company ) is a joint stock limited company incorporated and domiciled in the People's Republic of China (the PRC ). The Company is listed on the Shanghai Stock Exchange. The address of its registered office is 897 Huangshi Avenue, Huangshi City, Hubei Province. The Company and its subsidiaries (the "Group") are principally engaged in manufacturing and sales of cement. The majority of the sales are made in the PRC. 2. Summary of significant accounting policies The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated. 2.1 Basis of preparation The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") including International Accounting Standard and Interpretation issued by the International Accounting Standards Board. This basis of accounting differs from that used in the preparation of the statutory financial statements in the PRC ("the statutory financial statements"). The statutory financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries comprising the Group have been prepared in accordance with the accounting principles and regulations as applicable in the PRC. Appropriate adjustments have been made to these financial statements to conform to IFRS but such adjustments are not incorporated in the Group's statutory accounting records. The consolidated financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying the Company s accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the consolidated financial statements, are disclosed in Note 4. 2.2 Changing in accounting policies At 1 January 2005, the Group adopted the revised IFRS below, which are relevant to its operations. The 2004 comparatives have been amended as required, in accordance with the relevant requirements. IAS 1 (revised 2003) Presentation of Financial Statements IAS 2 (revised 2003) Inventories IAS 8 (revised 2003) Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors IAS 10 (revised 2003) Events after the Balance Sheet Date IAS 16 (revised 2003) Property, Plant and Equipment IAS 17 (revised 2003) Leases 600801-G -426 K5 AR EN.doc 95

2005 Chapter 11 Accounts and Auditors' Reports International Auditors' Report (All amounts in Rmb thousands unless otherwise stated) IAS 21 (revised 2003) The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates IAS 24 (revised 2003) Related Party Disclosures IAS 27 (revised 2003) Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements IAS 28 (revised 2003) Investments in Associates IAS 32 (revised 2003) Financial Instruments: Disclosure and Presentation IAS 33 (revised 2003) Earnings per Share IAS 39 (revised 2003) Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement The adoption of IAS 1, 2, 8, 10, 16, 17, 21, 24, 27, 28, 32, 33 and 39 (all revised 2003) did not result in substantial changes to the Group s accounting policies. In summary: IAS 1 (revised 2003) has affected the presentation of minority interest and other disclosures. IAS 2, 8, 10, 16, 17, 27, 28, 32, 33 and 39 (all revised in 2003) had no material effect on the Group s policies. IAS 21 (revised 2003) had no material effect on the Group s policy. The functional currency of each of the consolidated entities has been re-evaluated based on the guidance to the revised standard. All the Group entities have the same functional currency as their measurement currency. IAS 24 has affected the identification of related parties and certain related party disclosures. 2.3 Consolidation (a) Subsidiaries Subsidiaries are all entities over which the Group has the power to govern the financial and operating policies generally accompanying a shareholding of more than one half of the voting rights. The existence and effect of potential voting rights that are currently exercisable or convertible are considered when assessing whether the Group controls another entity. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group. They are de-consolidated from the date that control ceases. The purchase method of accounting is used to account for the acquisition of subsidiaries by the Group. The cost of an acquisition is measured as the fair value of the assets given, equity instruments issued and liabilities incurred or assumed at the date of exchange, plus costs directly attributable to the acquisition. Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured initially at their fair values at the acquisition date, irrespective of the extent of any minority interest. The excess of the cost of acquisition over the fair value of the Group s share of the identifiable net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. If the cost of acquisition is less than the fair value of the net assets of the subsidiary acquired, the difference is recognised directly in the income statement (see Note 2.8). Inter-company transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions between Group s entities are eliminated. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the asset transferred. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group. 600801-G -426 K5 AR EN.doc 96

2005 Chapter 11 Accounts and Auditors' Reports International Auditors' Report (All amounts in Rmb thousands unless otherwise stated) Minority interest is that part of the net results of operations and of net assets of a subsidiary attributable to interests which are not owned directly or indirectly by the Group. (b) Associates Associates are all entities over which the Group has significant influence but not control, generally accompanying a shareholding of between 20% and 50% of the voting rights. Investments in associates are accounted for by the equity method of accounting and are initially recognised at cost. The Group s share of its associates post-acquisition profits or losses is recognised in the income statement, and its share of post-acquisition movements in reserves is recognised in reserves. The cumulative post-acquisition movements are adjusted against the carrying amount of the investment. When the Group s share of losses in an associate equals or exceeds its interest in the associate, including any other unsecured receivables, the Group does not recognise further losses, unless it has incurred obligations or made payments on behalf of the associate. Unrealised gains on transactions between the Group and its associates are eliminated to the extent of the Group s interest in the associates. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the asset transferred. Accounting policies of associates have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group. 2.4 Segment reporting A business segment is a group of assets and operations engaged in providing products or services that are subject to risks and returns that are different from those of other business segments. A geographical segment is engaged in providing products or services within a particular economic environment that are subject to risks and returns that are different from those of segments operating in other economic environments. 2.5 Foreign currency translation (a) Functional and presentation currency Items included in the accounts of each of the Group s entities are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates ( the functional currency ). The consolidated financial statements are presented in Renminbi ( RMB ), which is the functional currency of all the entities comprising the Group and the presentation currency of the Company. (b) Transactions and balances Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation at year-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in the income statement. 2.6 Prepaid lease 600801-G -426 K5 AR EN.doc 97

2005 Chapter 11 Accounts and Auditors' Reports International Auditors' Report (All amounts in Rmb thousands unless otherwise stated) Cost of acquiring rights to use certain land or mine for the Group s operations over a certain period is recorded as prepaid lease. Cost of prepaid lease with specific term is recognised as an expense on a straight-line basis over the unexpired period of the rights. Cost of prepaid lease with unspecific term is recognised as an expense on a straight-line basis over the expected useful lives of 50 years. 2.7 Property, plant and equipment (a) All property, plant and equipment are stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the items. Depreciation of property, plant and equipment is calculated to write off their cost on the straight-line basis over their expected useful lives to the group, taking into account the estimated residual value of the assets concerned. The principle annual depreciation rates used are: Item Annual depreciation rate Buildings 2.4% - 3.84% Plant and machinery 6% - 12% Furniture, fixtures and office equipment 5.33% - 12% Motor vehicles 8-12% The assets residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each balance sheet date. (b) Construction in progress represents factory premises under construction, and production plants and machinery and other related fixed assets under installation. Construction in progress is stated at cost, which includes the cost of construction, purchase cost of plant and machinery, as well as interest charges arising from borrowings used to finance the construction during the period of time that is required to complete and prepare the asset for its intended use. Construction in progress for production plants and machinery is transferred to fixed assets on the commissioning date. Plant and machinery are considered to be commissioned when they are capable of producing saleable quality output in commercial quantities on an ongoing basis. (c) (d) (e) An asset s carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset s carrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount (Note 2.9). Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with carrying amount. These are included in the income statement. Subsequent costs are included in the asset s carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All 600801-G -426 K5 AR EN.doc 98

2005 Chapter 11 Accounts and Auditors' Reports International Auditors' Report (All amounts in Rmb thousands unless otherwise stated) other repairs and maintenance are charged to the income statement during the financial period in which they are incurred. 2.8 Intangible assets (a) (i) Goodwill Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of an acquisition over the fair value of the Group s share of the net identifiable assets of the acquired subsidiary at the date of acquisition. Negative goodwill represents the excess of the fair value of the Group s share of the net assets acquired over the cost of acquisition. Goodwill on acquisitions of subsidiaries is included in intangible assets. (ii) Goodwill arising from business combinations of which the agreement date is before 31 March 2004 was previously amortised on a straight line basis over its useful life, which will not exceed 20 years from initial recognition. As at 1 January 2005, amortisation of goodwill was ceased and the carrying amount of related accumulated amortisation was eliminated with a corresponding decrease in goodwill. Goodwill arising from business combinations of which the agreement date is on and after 31 March 2004, as well as goodwill arising from business combinations of which the agreement date is before 31 March 2004 after elimination of accumulated amortisation at 1 January 2005, are tested annually for impairment and carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses. Gains and losses on the disposal of an entity include the carrying amount of goodwill relating to the entity sold. Goodwill is allocated to cash-generating units for the purpose of impairment testing (note 2.9). (iii) Negative goodwill arising from business combinations of which the agreement date is before 31 March 2004 was previously amortised on a straight line basis over the remaining weighted average useful life of non-monetary assets acquired. At 1 January 2005, the carrying amount of negative goodwill has been derecognised with a corresponding adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings. Negative goodwill arising from business combinations of which the agreement date is on and after 31 March 2004 is recognised in the income statement immediately on the date of acquisition. (b) Mine development cost Cost incurred for the preparation of mine sites are capitalised and amortised on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the mine sites. (c) Railway improvement cost Cost incurred for railway improvement is capitalised and amortised on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the railway of 12 years. (d) Trademarks 600801-G -426 K5 AR EN.doc 99

2005 Chapter 11 Accounts and Auditors' Reports International Auditors' Report (All amounts in Rmb thousands unless otherwise stated) Trademarks are shown at historical cost. Trademarks have a definite useful life and are carried at cost less accumulated amortisation. Amortisation is calculated using the straight-line method to allocate the cost of trademarks over their estimated useful lives. (e) Other intangible assets Other intangible assets mainly represent the electricity usage fees paid to the local electricity bureau and are amortised on a straight-line basis over the estimated beneficial period of 10 years. 2.9 Impairment of assets Assets that have an indefinite useful life are not subject to amortisation and are tested annually for impairment. Assets that are subject to amortisation are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the 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 value in use. For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash flows (cash-generating units). 2.10 Investments The Group classifies its investments in the following categories: loans and receivables and available-for-sale investments. The classification depends on the purpose for which the investments were acquired. Management determines the classification of its investments at initial recognition and re-evaluates this designation at every reporting date. (a) Loans and receivables Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. They arise when the Group provides money, goods or services directly to a debtor with no intention of trading the receivable. They are included in current assets, except for maturities greater than 12 months after the balance sheet date. These are classified as non-current assets. Loans and receivables are included in trade receivables, other receivables, prepayments and deposits in the balance sheet. Loans and receivables are carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method. (b) Available-for-sale investments Investments other than those in subsidiaries and associates, intended to be held for an indefinite period of time, which may be sold in response to needs for liquidity or changes in interest rates, are classified as available-for-sale investments. They are included in non-current assets unless management intends to dispose of the investment for within 12 months of the balance sheet date or unless they will need to be sold to raise operating capital, in which case they are included in current assets. Purchases and sales of investments are recognised on trade-date, the date that the Group commits to purchase or sell the asset. Available-for-sale investments are carried at fair value which is initially measured at fair value of consideration given for them plus 600801-G -426 K5 AR EN.doc 100

2005 Chapter 11 Accounts and Auditors' Reports International Auditors' Report (All amounts in Rmb thousands unless otherwise stated) transaction costs and are subsequently subject to impairment review. Investments are derecognised when the rights to receive cash flows from the investments have expired or have been transferred and the Group has transferred substantially all risks and rewards of ownership. The Group assesses at each balance sheet date whether there is objective evidence that a financial asset or a group of financial assets is impaired. In the case of equity securities classified as available for sale, a significant or prolonged decline in the fair value of the security below its cost is considered in determining whether the securities are impaired. If any such evidence exists for available-for-sale investments, the cumulative loss measured as the difference between the acquisition cost and the current fair value, less any impairment loss on that financial asset previously recognised in profit or loss is removed from equity and recognised in the income statement. Impairment losses recognised in the income statement on equity instruments are not reversed through the income statement. 2.11 Inventories Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost of raw materials, spare parts and consumables represents invoiced price calculated using the weighted average costing method. Cost of work in progress and finished goods includes direct materials, direct labour and an appropriate proportion of production overheads (based on normal operating capacity). It excludes borrowing costs. Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the costs of completion and selling expenses. 2.12 Trade receivables Trade receivables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method less provision for impairment. A provision for impairment of trade receivables is established when there is an objective evidence that the Group will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of receivables. The amount of the provision is the difference between the asset s carrying amount and present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at the effective interest rate. The amount of the provision is recognised in the income statement. 2.13 Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents includes cash in hand and deposits held at call with banks. 2.14 Share capital Ordinary shares are classified as equity. 2.15 Borrowings Borrowings are recognised initially at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. Borrowings are subsequently stated at amortised cost; any difference between the proceeds net of transaction costs and the redemption value is recognised in the income statement over the period of the borrowings using the effective interest method. 600801-G -426 K5 AR EN.doc 101

2005 Chapter 11 Accounts and Auditors' Reports International Auditors' Report (All amounts in Rmb thousands unless otherwise stated) Borrowing costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of assets that necessarily take a substantial period of time to be ready for their intended use or sale are capitalised as part of the costs of the assets. All other borrowing costs are expensed. Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the Group has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the balance sheet date. 2.16 Taxation PRC income taxes are provided for based on the taxable assessable profits and the applicable tax rates for the Group s entities. Deferred income tax is provided in full, using the liability method, on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the consolidated financial statements. However, if the deferred income tax arises from initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction other than a business combination that at the time of the transaction affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss, it is not accounted for. Deferred income tax is determined using tax rates that have been enacted or substantially enacted by the balance sheet date and are expected to apply when the related deferred income tax asset is realised or the deferred income tax liability is settled. Deferred income tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilised. Deferred income tax is provided on temporary differences arising on investments in subsidiaries and associates, except where the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference is controlled by the Group and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future. 2.17 Retirement scheme Pension obligations The Group participates in a defined contribution retirement scheme (the Scheme ) operated by the local government. The Group's obligations include contributions to the Scheme determined at a certain percentage of the salaries of the employees. The regular contributions, which are charged to the income statement on an accrual basis, constitute net periodic costs for the year in which they are due and as such are included in staff costs. Once the contributions have been paid, the Group has no further payment obligations. 2.18 Provision Provisions are recognised when: the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events; it is more likely than not that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation; and the amount has been reliably estimated. Provisions are not recognised for future operating losses. Where there are a number of similar obligations, the likelihood that an outflow will be required in settlement is determined by considering the class of obligations as a whole. A provision is recognised even if the likelihood of an outflow with respect to any one item 600801-G -426 K5 AR EN.doc 102

2005 Chapter 11 Accounts and Auditors' Reports International Auditors' Report (All amounts in Rmb thousands unless otherwise stated) included in the same class of obligations may be small. 2.19 Government grants Grants from the government are recognised at their fair value where there is a reasonable assurance that the grant will be received and the Group will comply with all attached conditions. Government grants relating to costs are deferred and recognised in the income statement over the period necessary to match them with the costs that they are intended to compensate. Government grants relating to the purchase of property, plant and equipment are included in non-current liabilities as deferred income and are credited to the income statement on a straight-line basis over the expected lives of the related assets. 2.20 Revenue recognition Revenue comprises the fair value for the sale of goods and services, net of value-added tax, rebates and discounts and after eliminated sales within the Group. Revenue is recognised as follows: (a) Sales of goods Revenue from sales of goods is recognised when significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods are transferred to the buyers, which generally coincides with the time when delivery is made and collectibility of the related receivables is reasonably assured. (b) Interest income Interest income is recognised on a time-proportion basis using the effective interest method. When a receivable is impaired, the Group reduces the carrying amount to its recoverable amount, being the estimated future cashflow discounted at original effective interest rate of the instrument, and continues unwinding the discount as interest income. (c) Dividend income 2.21 Leases Dividend income is recognised when the right to receive payment is established. Leases where a significant portion of the risks and rewards of ownership are retained by the lessor are classified as operating leases. Payments made under operating leases net of any incentives received from the lessor are charged to the income statement on a straight-line basis over the period of relevant leases. 2.22 Dividend distribution 600801-G -426 K5 AR EN.doc 103

2005 Chapter 11 Accounts and Auditors' Reports International Auditors' Report (All amounts in Rmb thousands unless otherwise stated) Dividend distribution to the Company s shareholders is recognised as a liability in the Group s consolidated financial statements in the period in which the dividends are approved by the Company s shareholders. 3. Financial risk management (a) Financial risk factors The Group s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: foreign exchange risk, credit risk, liquidity risk and cash flow interest-rate risk. (i) Foreign exchange risk The Group s entities operate in the PRC with most of the transactions denominated in Renminbi. The Group is exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from the exposure of Renminbi against USD, Euro and Danish Krona. The Group has not hedged its foreign exchange rate risk. In addition, the conversion of Renminbi into foreign currencies is subject to the rules and regulations of the foreign exchange control promulgated by the PRC government. (ii) Credit risk The Group has no significant concentrations of credit risks. The carrying amount of the trade receivables included in the consolidated balance sheet represent the Group s maximum exposure to credit risk in relation to its financial assets. (iii) Liquidity risk The Group ensures that it maintains sufficient cash and credit lines to meet its liquidity requirements. (iv) Cash flow and fair value interest rate risk As the Group has no significant interest-bearing assets, the Group s income and operating cash flows are substantially independent of changes in market interest rates. The Group s interest rate risk arises from long-term borrowings. Borrowings issued at variable rates expose the Group to cash flow interest rate risk. Borrowings issued at fixed rates expose the Group to fair value interest rate risk. The Group has not hedged its cash flow and fair value interest rate risk. (b) Fair value estimation The carrying amounts of the following financial instruments approximate to their fair values. Cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, other receivables, prepayments and deposits, trade payables, construction costs payable, accrued charged and deposits received, other non-current liabilities and borrowings. 600801-G -426 K5 AR EN.doc 104

2005 Chapter 11 Accounts and Auditors' Reports International Auditors' Report (All amounts in Rmb thousands unless otherwise stated) 4. Critical accounting estimates and assumptions Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. The Group makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The resulting accounting estimates will, by definition, seldom equal the related actual results. The estimates and 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 discussed below. (a) Estimated impairment of goodwill The Group tests annually whether goodwill has suffered any impairment, in accordance with the accounting policy stated in Note 2.8(a). The recoverable amounts of cash-generating units have been determined based on value-in-use calculations. These calculations require the use of estimates. (b) Estimated impairment of property, plant and equipment and available-for-sale investments Property, plant and equipment and available-for-sales investments are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. The recoverable amounts of property, plant and equipment and available-for-sale investments have been determined based on value-in-use calculations. These calculation and valuations require the use of judgement and estimates. (c) Current taxation and deferred taxation The Group is subject to taxation in the PRC. Significant judgement is required in determining the amount of the provision for taxation and the timing of payment of the related taxations. There are many transactions and calculations for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain during the ordinary course of business. Where the final tax outcome of these matters is different from the amounts that were initially recorded, such difference will impact the income tax and deferred tax provisions in the periods in which such determination are made. Segment information No business segment information of the Group is presented as the Group s sales, expenses, assets and liabilities are primarily attributable to manufacturing and sales of cement and related products. No geographical segment information has been prepared as products of the Group are all manufactured in the PRC and less than 10% of the Group s sales and results are attributable to the market outside the PRC. 2005 2004 Sales of goods 2,695,976 2,188,101 600801-G -426 K5 AR EN.doc 105
