Material Risk Alert

1.
The cement industry in which the Company operates is highly dependent on the construction
industry and closely related to the national economic growth pace, as well as susceptible to
the cyclical changes in the macro-economy. Therefore, the cyclical volatility in the macroeconomy and adjustment of the macro-economic policy will materially affect the operation and
development of the cement industry due to their impact on fixed asset investments. Adjustment
in economic structure in China may result in a decelerating growth in fixed asset investments,
which would have direct impact on the market demand for and market price of building material
products, thereby adversely affecting the operations and development of the Company.
To address the above-mentioned risks, the Group will closely monitor the changes in the
States macro-economic policies and step up its efforts in conducting analysis and research
on policies that affect the cement industry and related factors. Meanwhile, to align with the
Companys development strategies, the Group will continue to expand and fine-tune its market
layout to mitigate the negative impact on the Company caused by volatility in a single market
or a fragment of the market. Furthermore, the Group will timely adjust its marketing strategies
according to changes in the market environment to ensure smooth production and operations of
the Company.
2.
Coal and electricity are the major types of energy consumed by the Company in the production
process. The cost of these two types of energy accounts for more than 60% of the total
manufacturing cost of cement. In the event of substantial surge in energy prices due to factors
such as policy adjustment or changes in market supply and demand, the Company will be under
pressure of rising production costs. If the increase in cost resulted from the above factors could
not be entirely transferred to the product price, the Companys profitability may be adversely
affected.
In order to address the above-mentioned risks, the Company will continue to further develop
the strategic cooperation with domestic large-scale coal groups, expand coal procurement
channels and take advantage of bulk procurement to acquire coal needed for production at a
reasonable price. In the meantime, the Group will enhance cooperation with major energy power
companies in direct purchase of electricity, so as to reduce electricity costs. Furthermore, the
Group will implement benchmark management, lower various consumption indicators such as
coal and electricity consumption rates, and carry out technical modification to promote energy
conservation and emission reduction while reducing cost and improve efficiency, in order to
enhance its market competitiveness.
Material Risk Alert

3.
As we are entering into the 12th Five-Year Plan period, there is an increasing focus on
environmental protection, which requires cement industry to put more efforts in air pollution
control, especially in the reduction of NOx total emission. The Ministry of Environmental
Protection of the PRC issued the latest Emission Standard of Air Pollutants for Cement Industry
in December 2013, which stipulates that the limit for NOx emission in general area shall be
reduced from 800 mg/m3 to 400 mg/m3. Newly-established enterprises shall comply with the new
standard from 1 March 2014, while existing enterprises shall implement the new standard from 1
July 2015. With the implementation of the new standard, the operating costs of the Company will
increase.
To address the above risks, the Group will further accelerate the implementation of SNCR and
staged combustion technology, while continuously improving its operation efficiency to reduce
the consumption of ammonia and other raw materials and effectively control operating costs.
The Group will continue to optimize its environmental management in the future. Stringent
enforcement of national policies and regulations in respect of environmental protection will
speed up the phase-out of backward production capacity and facilitate the structural adjustment
of the cement industry. All these will enable the Group to further leverage and benefit from its
competitive edge.

3. Management Discussion and Analysis

MACRO-ENVIRONMENT
In 2013, the PRC government implemented a proactive fiscal policy and a prudent monetary policy,
promoted innovative macro-economic control, facilitated reform and opening-up and refined its
industrial structure, which resulted in a steady and positive development of the PRC economy.
During the year of 2013, the year-on-year GDP growth rate was 7.7%, basically same as that of last
year. Fixed asset investments across the country saw a year-on-year growth of 19.6%, down by 1
percentage point from that in the same period of last year, while property investment sustained a yearon-year increase of 19.8%, up by 3.6 percentage points from that in the same period of last year. (Source:
National Bureau of Statistics of China)
In 2013, the PRCs cement production volume rose by 9.6% year-on-year to 2.41 billion tonnes, with
the growth rate representing an increase of 2.1 percentage points from that in the same period of last
year. Investments in the PRC cement industry declined by 6.5% year-on-year to RMB132.9 billion. With
steady growth in market demand and decline in growth of new production capacity, the supply-anddemand condition of the cement industry saw continuous improvement. Meanwhile, benefiting from the
decline in coal price and decrease in production costs of cement products, the overall profitability of
the industry improved. (Source: Digital Cement)

improvement in the cement sales volume of each region. The sales volume in East China and Central
China reported a year-on-year increase of 19.13% and 29.94% respectively, and the sales amount
increased by 18.66% and 27.27% respectively on a year-on-year basis.
The overall market in South China remained relatively stable. The sales volume rose by 2.91% year-onyear, while the selling prices recorded a year-on-year decrease of 2.39%, resulting in a sales amount
basically similar to that of last year.
Positive factors were observed in the West China market, including rapid growth in the fixed asset
investments, persistently robust market demand and notable results from sales network development
and consolidation. The inauguration of previously acquired projects as well as new construction projects
led to substantial growth in both sales volume and sales amount. The sales volume and sales amount
of cement increased by 40.17% and 40.43% respectively on a year-on-year basis.

OUTLOOK FOR 2014

The year of 2014 marks the beginning of comprehensively deepening reform in the PRC, and is also the
fourth year of the 12th Five-year Plan, making it a crucial year to the completion of the 12th Five-year
Plan. Adhering to the overall theme of making progress while maintaining stability in its work on the
economy, the PRC government implements proactive fiscal policy and prudent monetary policy, so as
to promote a sustainable and healthy economic development. A year-on-year GDP growth rate of about
7.5% is anticipated. (Source: Government Work Report of 2014)
In 2014, the supply-and-demand condition of the cement industry is expected to further improve. On
the demand side, as the PRC governments proactive and prudent measures to facilitate urbanization
and its great efforts in developing a modernized agricultural industry will effectively promote the
construction of infrastructure projects such as railway, highways, city railway transportation and
hydraulic facilities as well as affordable housing, the cement demand will maintain a steady growth
with relatively huge potential in the central and western regions. In the a aspect of supply, the
implementation of the Guidelines on Addressing Severe Overcapacity (Guo Fa [2013] No.41) will
effectively control the growth of new production capacity, while the promulgation and implementation
of the new environmental protection standards for the cement industry will accelerate the phase-out of
backward capacity, which will lead to further decline in new production capacity.
In 2014, the Group will aim to capture the opportunity arising from the structural adjustment of the
cement industry in the PRC to accelerate construction of projects in progress. The Group will carry out
merger and acquisition of domestic projects by holding controlling interest or equity interest of these
entities. Meanwhile, the Group will accelerate its pace of internationalization development to ensure that
the construction of the PT Conch cement project in South Kalimantan of Indonesia will be completed
as scheduled, and step up its effort to promote the preparation work for other overseas projects.
Furthermore, the Group will proactively increase its investments in the aggregate project and extend its
business into the upstream and downstream industries.
The Groups planned capital expenditure amounts to approximately RMB8.5 billion, which will be
funded primarily by internal resources and supplemented by bank loans and mainly used in the
construction of the cement and clinker production lines and ancillary residual heat electricity generation
projects of Tongren Conch Panjiang Cement Co., Ltd. and Linxia Conch Cement Co., Ltd. (Linxia
Conch). It is expected that the clinker and cement production capacity will increase by approximately
19 million tonnes and 30 million tonnes respectively for the full year.
34
Annual Report 2013
3.
The Group will closely monitor changes in the external business environment, and will study and assess
the market conditions more closely and reinforce coordination among the regional markets so as to
expand its market share. Meanwhile, the Group will continuously strengthen benchmark management
and improve its internal control, so as to further enhance its operation quality. The Group will continue
to optimize its remuneration incentive scheme, perfect its performance appraisal mechanism for
management personnel and cultivate operation and management talents to facilitate sustainable
development of the Company. The Group targets to increase net sales volume of cement and clinker by
approximately 28 million tonnes year on year. It is expected that the cost and expense of products per
tonne will remain stable as compared to that of last year.
In 2014, the Group may be exposed to the following three major risks:
1.
The cement industry in which the Company operates is highly dependent on the construction
industry and closely related to the national economic growth pace, as well as susceptible to the
cyclical changes in the macro-economy. Therefore, the cyclical volatility in the macro-economy
and adjustment of the macro-economic policy will materially affect the operation and development
of the cement industry due to their impact on fixed asset investments. Adjustment in economic
structure in China may result in a decelerating growth in fixed asset investments, which would
have direct impact on the market demand for and market price of building material products,
thereby adversely affecting the operations and development of the Company.
To address the above-mentioned risks, the Group will closely monitor the changes in the States
macro-economic policies and step up its efforts in conducting analysis and research on policies
that affect the cement industry and related factors. Meanwhile, to align with the Companys
development strategies, the Group will continue to expand and fine-tune its market layout to
mitigate the negative impact on the Company caused by volatility in a single market or a fragment
of the market. Furthermore, the Group will timely adjust its marketing strategies according to
changes in the market environment to ensure smooth production and operations of the Company.
2.
Coal and electricity are the major types of energy consumed by the Company in the production
process. The cost of these two types of energy accounts for more than 60% of the total
manufacturing cost of cement. In the event of substantial surge in energy prices due to factors
such as policy adjustment or changes in market supply and demand, the Company will be under
pressure of rising production costs. If the increase in cost resulted from the above factors could
not be entirely transferred to the product price, the Companys profitability may be adversely
affected.
35
3.
In order to address the above-mentioned risks, the Company will continue to further develop the
strategic cooperation with domestic large-scale coal groups, expand coal procurement channels
and take advantage of bulk procurement to acquire coal needed for production at a reasonable
price. In the meantime, the Group will enhance cooperation with major energy power companies
in direct purchase of electricity, so as to reduce electricity costs. Furthermore, the Group will
implement benchmark management, lower various consumption indicators such as coal and
electricity consumption rates, and carry out technical modification to promote energy conservation
and emission reduction while reducing cost and improve efficiency, in order to enhance its market
competitiveness.
3.
As we are entering into the 12th Five-Year Plan period, there is an increasing focus on
environmental protection, which requires cement industry to put more efforts in air pollution
control, especially in the reduction of NOx total emission. The Ministry of Environmental Protection
of the PRC issued the latest Emission Standard of Air Pollutants for Cement Industry in
December 2013, which stipulates that the limit for NOx emission in general area shall be reduced
from 800 mg/m3 to 400 mg/m3. Newly-established enterprises shall comply with the new standard
from 1 March 2014, while existing enterprises shall implement the new standard from 1 July 2015.
With the implementation of the new standard, the operating costs of the Company will increase.
To address the above risks, the Group will further accelerate the implementation of SNCR and staged
combustion technology, while continuously improving its operation efficiency to reduce the consumption
of ammonia and other raw materials and effectively control operating costs. The Group will continue
to optimize its environmental management in the future. Stringent enforcement of national policies and
regulations in respect of environmental protection will speed up the phase-out of backward production
capacity and facilitate the structural adjustment of the cement industry. All these will enable the Group
to further leverage and benefit from its competitive edge.

Companys subsidiaries located in Anhui Province with diesel oil needed for production,

50
Annual Report 2013
5.
Significant Events
Under the SSE Listing Rules and the relevant regulations of CSRC, as Conch Venture
holds 5.41% of the Companys shares, it is regarded as a connected person of the
Group, and as Sanshan Port is a majority-owned subsidiary of Conch Venture and
thus a person acting in concert with Conch Venture, Sanshan Port is also regarded
as a connected person of the Group. In addition, as Mr. Wang Jun (a supervisor of
the Company) serves as the chairman of Sanshan Port, Sanshan Port is a connected
person of the Group. Accordingly, the above transaction constituted a connected
transaction under the SSE Listing Rules. In accordance with the HKSE Listing Rules,
Sanshan Port is not regarded as a connected person of the Group, thus the above
transaction did not constitute a connected transaction under the HKSE Listing Rules.
The clinker bases of the Company located along the Yangtze River in Anhui Province
also procured part of diesel oil from Sanshan Port, which will facilitate the expansion of
the diesel oil procurement channels of the Company and enhance the bargaining power
in price negotiation, so as to ensure the diesel oil supply of the Company and lower
the procurement costs. Moreover, Sanshan Port enjoys advantages over independent
third parties with more convenient logistics and comprehensive services. Due to
several market factors, the diesel oil market changes more quickly and the diesel oil
price fluctuates frequently, therefore the Company purchased diesel oil from Sanshan
Port at prices which will be adjusted in line with the market conditions, with monthly
settlement price determined through negotiations between the parties mainly based on
the prevailing market prices, provided that such settlement price shall not be higher
than the purchase price offered to the Company by independent third parties. Payment
would be settled on a monthly basis.
During the Reporting Period, the Group procured diesel oil from Sanshan Port for an
amount of RMB99,841,800.
For further details, please refer to the Companys announcement dated 22 March 2013
and published on the website of the Stock Exchange and the website of the Company,
and the Companys announcement dated 23 March 2013 and published on the SSE
website and Shanghai Securities Journal. This connected transaction is not subject to
the independent shareholders approval requirements.

Transaction with Sanshan Port procurement of coal

On 22 March 2013, as approved by the Board, each of Wuhu Conch and Baimashan
Cement Plant entered into a coal sale and purchase contract respectively with Sanshan
Port, pursuant to which Wuhu Conch and Baimashan Cement Plant will procure coal
from Sanshan Port to meet production need, with the purchase prices being RMB13.96
million and RMB52.64 million respectively and the validity period for both contracts
commencing from 1 April 2013 and expiring on 31 December 2013.
Our demand for coal increases as the 12,000T/D clinker production lines of Wuhu
Conch and other subsidiaries of the Group located along the Yangtze River in Anhui
Province put into operation. With a storage capacity of 300 thousand tonnes, Sanshan
Port can cater for the needs of storing up different coal separately and mix different
type of coal in different proportions so as to meet the coal demand of our clinker
bases located along the Yangtze River in Anhui Province. Sanshan Port also exercises
closed management on the whole process of logistics, which facilitates to supervise
the process and control risks. The Group intends to take advantage of the above
comprehensive superiorities of Sanshan Port to expand the coal procurement channels,
lower the procurement costs and enhance the capacity to supply coal for the clinker
bases located along the Yangtze River. The purchase prices were mainly determined
based on the quality of the coal (i.e. calorific value) with reference to the prevailing
market prices, provided that such prices shall not be higher than the prices offered by
independent third parties for the same type of coal in the same period. Payment would
be settled on a monthly basis.
During the Reporting Period, Wuhu Conch and Baimashan Cement Plant actually did
not procure coal from Sanshan Port.

Cement Plant sold commodity clinkers to Sanshan Port for the purpose of making full
use of the above-mentioned advantages of Sanshan Port to relieve the pressure on
Baimashan Cement Plant to keep the balance between production and sale. The price
at which Baimashan Cement Plant sold clinker to Sanshan Port was determined mainly
based on the market prices for the same period and adjusted in line with the market
conditions, with reference to the quoted prices offered by Baimashan Cement Plant and
enjoying the same preferential policy of discount price for large quantity of Baimashan
Cement Plant as the independent third-party customers. Payment would be advanced
prior to delivery.
During the Reporting Period, Baimashan Cement Plant sold commodity clinker to

Haichang Port has three 100,000-tonne deep-water berths which can accommodate
various types of large vessels. It is equipped with coal washing and blending facilities
that are able to meet the different demands for coal quality of the various kilns of the
Companys production bases located along the Yangtze River. Moreover, the ports
of Haichang Port have strong bulk cargo storage capacity, which can store a huge
amount of coal. With respect to the management, the Group decided to cooperate
with Haichang Port due to its outstanding comprehensive advantages in centralized
management of its staff, enclosed workplace and relatively simple user base, which can
effectively prevent mix-up of commodities in and out of the port.
The fees charged by Haichang Port for its coal transfer services provided to the
Group were determined mainly with reference to the prevailing market prices and the
fees charged by other ports which were independent third parties for the same kind
of services provided to the Group, but such fees shall not be higher than the prices
offered by Haichang Port to its independent customers. Payment would be settled in
respect of each vessel of coals within 30 days after the coals are transferred.

Notes to the financial statements

(Expressed in Renminbi Yuan unless otherwise indicated)
General information
Anhui Conch Cement Company Limited (the Company) was incorporated in The
Peoples Republic of China (the PRC) on 1 September 1997 as a joint stock limited
company. The Company and its subsidiaries are collectively referred to as the Group.
The principal activities of the Group are the manufacture and sale of clinkers and
cement products.
The registered office of the Company is No. 39 Wenhua Road, Wuhu City, Anhui
Province, the PRC.
Significant accounting policies

(a) Statement of compliance
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International
Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs) promulgated by the International
Accounting Standards Board (IASB). IFRSs include all applicable individual
International Financial Reporting Standards, International Accounting Standards
(IASs) and related interpretations. These financial statements also comply with the
disclosure requirements of the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance and the applicable
disclosure provisions of the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock
Exchange of Hong Kong Limited. A summary of the significant accounting policies
adopted by the Group is set out below.
The IASB has issued certain new and revised IFRSs that are first effective or
available for early adoption for the current accounting period of the Group and the
Company. Note 2(c) provides information on any changes in accounting policies
resulting from initial application of these developments to the extent that they are
relevant to the Group for the current and prior accounting periods reflected in these
financial statements.
121

Notes to the financial statements (continued)

Significant accounting policies (continued)

(b) Basis of preparation of the financial statements
The consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2013
comprise the Company and its subsidiaries and the Groups interest in associates
and a joint venture.
The measurement basis used in the preparation of the financial statements is the
historical cost basis except that the following assets and liabilities are stated at
their fair value as explained in the accounting policies set out below:

financial instruments classified as available-for-sale or as trading securities (see

note 2(g)); and
derivative financial instruments (see note 2(h)).
Non-current assets and disposal groups held for sale are stated at the lower of
carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRSs requires
management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the
application of policies and reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and
expenses. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical
experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the
circumstances, the results of which form the basis of making the judgements about
carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other
sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis.
Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the
estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the
revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.
Judgements made by management in the application of IFRSs that have significant
effect on the financial statements and major sources of estimation uncertainty are
discussed in note 3.
122
Annual Report 2013



(c) Changes in accounting policies
The IASB has issued a number of new IFRSs and amendments to IFRSs that are
first effective for the current accounting period of the Group and the Company. Of
these, the following developments are relevant to the Groups financial statements:

Amendments to IAS 1, Presentation of financial statements Presentation of

items of other comprehensive income
IFRS 10, Consolidated financial statements
IFRS 11, Joint arrangements
IFRS 12, Disclosure of interests in other entities
IFRS 13, Fair value measurement
Amendments to IFRS 7 Disclosures Offsetting financial assets and financial

liabilities
The Group has not applied any new standard or interpretation that is not yet
effective for the current accounting period with the exception of the amendments
to IAS 36, Impairment of assets Recoverable amount disclosures for non-financial
assets, which modify the disclosure requirements for impaired non-financial
assets. The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1
January 2014, but as permitted by the amendments, the Group has adopted the
amendments early. The disclosure about the Groups impaired non-financial assets
in note 15 has been conformed to the amended disclosure requirements. Impacts
of the adoption of other new or amended IFRSs are discussed below:
123



(c) Changes in accounting policies(continued)
Amendments to IAS 1, Presentation of financial statements Presentation of items
of other comprehensive income
The amendments to IAS 1 require entities to present separately the items of other
comprehensive income that would be reclassified to profit or loss in the future if
certain conditions are met from those that would never be reclassified to profit
or loss. The presentation of other comprehensive income in the consolidated
statements has been modified accordingly. In addition, the Group has chosen to
use the new titles statement of profit or loss and statement of profit or loss and
other comprehensive income as introduced by the amendments in these financial
statements.
IFRS 10, Consolidated financial statements
IFRS 10 replaces the requirements in IAS 27, Consolidated and separate financial
statements relating to the preparation of consolidated financial statements and SIC
12 Consolidation Special purpose entities. It introduces a single control model to
determine whether an investee should be consolidated, by focusing on whether the
entity has power over the investee, exposure or rights to variable returns from its
involvement with the investee and the ability to use its power to affect the amount
of those returns.
As a result of the adoption of IFRS 10, the Group has changed its accounting policy
with respect to determining whether it has control over an investee. The adoption
does not change any of the control conclusions reached by the Group in respect of
its involvement with other entities as at 1 January 2013.
IFRS 11, Joint arrangements
IFRS 11, which replaces IAS 31, Interests in joint ventures, divides joint
arrangements into joint operations and joint ventures. Entities are required to
determine the type of an arrangement by considering the structure, legal form,
contractual terms and other facts and circumstances relevant to their rights and
obligations under the arrangement. Joint arrangements which are classified as
joint operations under IFRS 11 are recognised on a line-by-line basis to the extent
of the joint operators interest in the joint operation. All other joint arrangements
are classified as joint ventures under IFRS 11 and are required to be accounted
for using the equity method in the Groups consolidated financial statements.
Proportionate consolidation is no longer allowed as an accounting policy choice.
124
Annual Report 2013



(c) Changes in accounting policies (continued)
IFRS 11, Joint arrangements (continued)
As a result of the adoption of IFRS 11, the Group has changed its accounting policy
with respect to its interests in joint arrangements and re-evaluated its involvement
in its joint arrangements. The Group has reclassified the investment from jointly
controlled entity to joint venture. The investment continues to be accounted for
using the equity method and therefore this reclassification does not have any
material impact on the financial position and the financial result of the Group.
IFRS 12, Disclosure of interests in other entities
IFRS 12 brings together into a single standard all the disclosure requirements
relevant to an entitys interests in subsidiaries, joint arrangements, associates
and unconsolidated structured entities. The disclosures required by IFRS 12
are generally more extensive than those previously required by the respective
standards. To the extent that the requirements are applicable to the Group, the
Group has provided those disclosures in notes 19, 20 and 21.
IFRS 13, Fair value measurement
IFRS 13 replaces existing guidance in individual IFRSs with a single source of
fair value measurement guidance. IFRS 13 also contains extensive disclosure
requirements about fair value measurements for both financial instruments and
non-financial instruments. To the extent that the requirements are applicable to
the Group, the Group has provided those disclosures in note 40. The adoption of
IFRS 13 does not have any material impact on the fair value measurements of the
Groups assets and liabilities.
Amendments to IFRS 7 Disclosures Offsetting financial assets and financial
liabilities
The amendments introduce new disclosures in respect of offsetting financial assets
and financial liabilities. Those new disclosures are required for all recognised
financial instruments that are set off in accordance with IAS 32, Financial
instruments: Presentation and those that are subject to an enforceable master
netting arrangement or similar agreement that covers similar financial instruments
and transactions, irrespective of whether the financial instruments are set off in
accordance with IAS 32. The Group has provided the relevant disclosures in note
26(d).
125



(d) Subsidiaries and non-controlling interests
Subsidiaries are entities controlled by the Group. The Group controls an entity
when it is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the
entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity.
When assessing whether the Group has power, only substantive rights (held by the
Group and other parties) are considered.
An investment in a subsidiary is consolidated into the consolidated financial
statements from the date that control commences until the date that control
ceases. Intra-group balances and transactions and any unrealised profits arising
from intra-group transactions are eliminated in full in preparing the consolidated
financial statements. Unrealised losses resulting from intra-group transactions are
eliminated in the same way as unrealised gains but only to the extent that there is
no evidence of impairment.
Non-controlling interests represent the equity in a subsidiary not attributable
directly or indirectly to the Company, and in respect of which the Group has not
agreed any additional terms with the holders of those interests which would result
in the Group as a whole having a contractual obligation in respect of those interests
that meets the definition of a financial liability. For each business combination, the
Group can elect to measure any non-controlling interests either at fair value or at
their proportionate share of the subsidiarys net identifiable assets.
Non-controlling interests are presented in the consolidated statement of financial
position within equity, separately from equity attributable to the equity shareholders
of the Company. Non-controlling interests in the results of the Group are presented
on the face of the consolidated statement of profit or loss and the consolidated
statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income as an allocation of
the total profit or loss and total comprehensive income for the year between noncontrolling interests and the equity shareholders of the Company. Loans from
holders of non-controlling interests and other contractual obligation towards
these holders are presented as financial liabilities in the consolidated statement of
financial position in accordance with notes 2(r) or 2(s) depending on the nature of
the liability.
126
Annual Report 2013



(d) Subsidiaries and non-controlling interests (continued)
Changes in the Groups interests in a subsidiary that do not result in a loss of
control are accounted for as equity transactions, whereby adjustments are made to
the amounts of controlling and non-controlling interests within consolidated equity
to reflect the change in relative interests, but no adjustments are made to goodwill
and no gain or loss is recognised.
When the Group loses control of a subsidiary, it is accounted for as a disposal of
the entire interest in that subsidiary, with a resulting gain or loss being recognised
in profit or loss. Any interest retained in that former subsidiary at the date when
control is lost is recognised at fair value and this amount is regarded as the fair
value on initial recognition of a financial asset (see note 2(g)) or, when appropriate,
the cost on initial recognition of an investment in an associate or joint venture (see
note 2(e)).
In the Companys statement of financial position, an investment in a subsidiary is
stated at cost less impairment losses (see note 2(o)).
(e) Associates and joint ventures
An associate is an entity in which the Group or Company has significant influence,
but not control or joint control, over its management, including participation in the
financial and operating policy decisions.
A joint venture is an arrangement whereby the Group or Company and other parties
contractually agree to share control of the arrangement, and have rights to the net
assets of the arrangement.
127



(e) Associates and joint ventures (continued)
An investment in an associate or a joint venture is accounted for in the consolidated
financial statements under the equity method, unless it is classified as held for
sale (or included in a disposal group that is classified as held for sale). Under the
equity method, the investment is initially recorded at cost, adjusted for any excess
of the Groups share of the acquisition-date fair values of the investees identifiable
net assets over the cost of the investment (if any). Thereafter, the investment is
adjusted for the post-acquisition change in the Groups share of the investees net
assets and any impairment loss relating to the investment (see notes 2(f) and 2(o)).
Any acquisition-date excess over cost, the Groups share of the post-acquisition,
post-tax results of the investees and any impairment losses for the year are
recognised in the consolidated statement of profit or loss, whereas the Groups
share of the post-acquisition post-tax items of the investees other comprehensive
income is recognised in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other
comprehensive income.
When the Groups share of losses exceeds its interest in the associate or the joint
venture, the Groups interest is reduced to nil and recognition of further losses is
discontinued except to the extent that the Group has incurred legal or constructive
obligations or made payments on behalf of the investee. For this purpose, the
Groups interest is the carrying amount of the investment under the equity method
together with the Groups long-term interests that in substance form part of the
Groups net investment in the associate or the joint venture.
Unrealised profits and losses resulting from transactions between the Group and
its associates and joint venture are eliminated to the extent of the Groups interest
in the investee, except where unrealised losses provide evidence of an impairment
of the asset transferred, in which case they are recognised immediately in profit or
loss.
If an investment in an associate becomes an investment in a joint venture or vice
versa, retained interest is not remeasured. Instead, the investment continues to be
accounted for under the equity method.
128
Annual Report 2013



(e) Associates and joint ventures (continued)
In all other cases, when the Group ceases to have significant influence over an
associate or joint control over a joint venture, it is accounted for as a disposal of
the entire interest in that investee, with a resulting gain or loss being recognised
in profit or loss. Any interest retained in that former investee at the date when
significant influence or joint control is lost is recognised at fair value and this
amount is regarded as the fair value on initial recognition of a financial asset (see
note 2(g)).
In the Companys statement of financial position, investments in associates and
joint venture are stated at cost less impairment losses (see note 2(o)).
(f) Goodwill
Goodwill represents the excess of
(i)
the aggregate of the fair value of the consideration transferred, the amount of
any non-controlling interest in the acquiree and the fair value of the Groups
previously held equity interest in the acquiree; over
(ii) the net fair value of the acquirees identifiable assets and liabilities measured
as at the acquisition date.
When (ii) is greater than (i), then this excess is recognised immediately in profit or
loss as a gain on a bargain purchase.
Goodwill is stated at cost less accumulated impairment losses. Goodwill arising on
a business combination is allocated to each cash-generating unit, or groups of cash
generating units, that is expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination
and is tested annually for impairment (see note 2(o)).
On disposal of a cash generating unit during the year, any attributable amount of
purchased goodwill is included in the calculation of the profit or loss on disposal.
129



(g) Other investments in debt and equity securities
The Groups and the Companys policies for investments in debt and equity
securities, other than investments in subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures, are
as follows:
Investments in debt and equity securities are initially stated at fair value, which is
their transaction price unless it is determined that the fair value at initial recognition
differs from the transaction price and that fair value is evidenced by a quoted
price in an active market for an identical asset or liability or based on a valuation
technique that uses only data from observable markets. Cost includes attributable
transaction costs, except where indicated otherwise below. These investments are
subsequently accounted for as follows, depending on their classification:
Investments in securities held for trading are classified as current assets. Any
attributable transaction costs are recognised in profit or loss as incurred. At the end
of each reporting period the fair value is remeasured, with any resultant gain or loss
being recognised in profit or loss. The net gain or loss recognised in profit or loss
does not include any dividends or interest earned on these investments as these
are recognised in accordance with the policies set out in notes 2(x)(iii) and 2(x)(iv).
Dated debt securities that the Group and/or the Company have the positive ability
and intention to hold to maturity are classified as held-to-maturity securities. Heldto-maturity securities are stated at amortised cost less impairment losses (see note
2(o)).
Investments in securities which do not fall into any of the above categories are
classified as available-for-sale securities. At the end of each reporting period the
fair value is remeasured, with any resultant gain or loss being recognised in other
comprehensive income and accumulated separately in equity in the fair value
reserve. As an exception to this, investments in equity securities that do not have
a quoted price in an active market for an identical instrument and whose fair value
cannot otherwise be reliably measured are recognised in the statement of financial
position at cost less impairment losses (see note 2(o)). Dividend income from equity
securities and interest income from debt securities calculated using the effective
interest method are recognised in profit or loss in accordance with the policies set
out in notes 2 (x)(iii) and 2(x)(iv), respectively. Foreign exchange gains and losses
resulting from changes in the amortised cost of debt securities are also recognised
in profit or loss.
130
Annual Report 2013



(g) Other investments in debt and equity securities (continued)
When the investments are derecognized or impaired (see note 2(o)), the cumulative
gain or loss recognized in equity is reclassified to profit or loss. Investments are
recognised/derecognised on the date the Group commits to purchase/sell the
investments or they expire.
(h) Derivative financial instruments
Derivative financial instruments are recognised initially at fair value. At each
statement of financial position date the fair value is remeasured. The gain or loss
on remeasurement to fair value is recognised immediately in profit or loss.
(i) Investment property
Investment properties are land and/or buildings which are owned or
a leasehold interest (see note 2(n)) to earn rental income and/or
appreciation. These include land held for a currently undetermined
and property that is being constructed or developed for future use as
property.
held under
for capital
future use
investment
Investment properties are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and

impairment losses. Any gain or loss arising from the retirement or disposal of an
investment property is recognised in profit or loss. Depreciation is calculated to
write off the cost of investment property, less their estimated residual value, using
the straight-line method over 30 years.
When the Group holds a property interest under an operating lease to earn rental
income and/or for capital appreciation, the interest is classified and accounted
for as an investment property on a property-by-property basis. Any such property
interest which has been classified as an investment property is accounted for as if
it were held under a finance lease (see note 2(n)), and the same accounting policies
are applied to that interest as are applied to other investment properties leased
under finance leases. Lease payments are accounted for as described in note 2(n).
131



(j) Leasehold land held for own use under operating leases
All land in the PRC is state-owned or collectively-owned and no individual land
ownership right exists. The Group acquired the right to use certain land. The
premiums paid for such right are treated as prepayment for operating lease and
recorded as leasehold land held for own use under operating leases, which are
amortised over the period of lease term on a straight-line basis.
(k) Property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment are stated in the statement of financial position at
cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses (see note 2(o)).
The cost of self-constructed items of property, plant and equipment includes the
cost of materials, direct labour, the initial estimate, where relevant, of the costs
of dismantling and removing the items and restoring the site on which they are
located, and an appropriate proportion of production overheads and borrowing
costs (see note 2(aa)).
Gains or losses arising from the retirement or disposal of an item of property, plant
and equipment are determined as the difference between the net disposal proceeds
and the carrying amount of the item and are recognised in profit or loss on the date
of retirement or disposal.
Depreciation is calculated to write off the cost of items of property, plant and
equipment, less their estimated residual value, if any, using the straight-line method
over their estimated useful lives as follows:

years
Where parts of an item of property, plant and equipment have different useful lives,
the cost of the item is allocated on a reasonable basis between the parts and each
part is depreciated separately. Both the useful life of an asset and its residual value,
if any, are reviewed annually.
(l) Construction-in-progress
Construction-in-progress represents buildings and plant under construction and
machinery and equipment under installation and testing, and is stated at cost
less accumulated impairment loss, if any (see note 2(o)). The cost includes cost
of construction, plant and equipment and other direct costs plus borrowing costs
which include interest charges and exchange differences arising from foreign
currency borrowings used to finance these projects during the construction period,
to the extent these are regarded as an adjustment to borrowing costs (see note
2(aa)).
Construction-in-progress is not depreciated until such time as the assets are
completed and ready for operational use, the costs are transferred to property,
plant and equipment and depreciated in accordance with the policy as stated in
note 2(k).
(m) Intangible assets (other than goodwill)
Intangible assets that are acquired by the Group are stated at cost less
accumulated amortisation (where the estimated useful life is finite) and impairment
losses (see note 2(o)). Expenditure on internally generated goodwill and brands is
recognised as an expense in the period in which it is incurred.
133



(m) Intangible assets (other than goodwill) (continued)
Amortisation of intangible assets with finite useful lives is charged to profit or
loss on a straight-line basis over the assets estimated useful lives. The following
intangible assets with finite useful lives are amortised from the date they are
available for use and their estimated useful lives are as follows:
limestone and clay mining rights

others
5-30 years
5-10 years
Both the period and method of amortisation are reviewed annually.

(n) Leased assets
An arrangement, comprising a transaction or a series of transactions, is or contains
a lease if the Group determines that the arrangement conveys a right to use a
specific asset or assets for an agreed period of time in return for a payment or a
series of payments. Such a determination is made based on an evaluation of the
substance of the arrangement and is regardless of whether the arrangement takes
the legal form of a lease.
(i)
Classification of assets leased to the Group

Assets that are held by Group under leases which transfer to the Group
substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are classified as being held
under finance leases. Leases which do not transfer substantially all the risks
and rewards of ownership to the Group are classified as operating leases.
Property held under operating leases that would otherwise meet the definition
of an investment property is classified as investment property on a propertyby-property basis and, if classified as investment property, is accounted for as
if held under a finance lease (see note 2(i)).
134
Annual Report 2013



(n) Leased assets (continued)
(ii) Assets acquired under finance leases
Where the Group acquires the use of assets under finance leases, the amounts
representing the fair value of the leased asset, or, if lower, the present value
of the minimum lease payments, of such assets are included in fixed assets
and the corresponding liabilities, net of finance charges, are recorded as
obligations under finance leases. Depreciation is provided at rates which write
off the cost of the assets over the term of the relevant lease or, where it is
likely the Group will obtain ownership of the asset, the life of the asset, as set
out in note 2(k). Impairment losses are accounted for in accordance with the
accounting policy as set out in note 2(o). Finance charges implicit in the lease
payments are charged to profit or loss over the period of the leases so as to
produce an approximately constant periodic rate of charge on the remaining
balance of the obligations for each accounting period. Contingent rentals are
charged to profit or loss in the accounting period in which they are incurred.
(iii) Operating lease charges
Where the Group has the use of assets held under operating leases, payments
made under the leases are charged to profit or loss in equal instalments over
the accounting periods covered by the lease term, except where an alternative
basis is more representative of the pattern of benefits to be derived from the
leased asset. Lease incentives received are recognised in profit or loss as an
integral part of the aggregate net lease payments made. Contingent rentals are
charged to profit or loss in the accounting period in which they are incurred.
The cost of acquiring land held under an operating lease is amortised on a
straight-line basis over the period of the lease term except where the property
is classified as an investment property (see note 2(i)).
135



(o) Impairment of assets
(i)
Impairment of investments in debt and equity securities and other receivables

Investments in debt and equity securities and other current and non-current
receivables that are stated at cost or amortised cost or are classified as
available-for-sale securities are reviewed at the end of each reporting period
to determine whether there is objective evidence of impairment. Objective
evidence of impairment includes observable data that comes to the attention
of the Group about one or more of the following loss events:
136
Annual Report 2013
significant financial difficulty of the debtor;
a breach of contract, such as a default or delinquency in interest or

principal payments;
it becoming probable that the debtor will enter bankruptcy or other

financial reorganisation;
significant changes in the technological, market, economic or legal

environment that have an adverse effect on the debtor; and
a significant or prolonged decline in the fair value of an investment in an

equity instrument below its cost.



(o) Impairment of assets (continued)
(i)

(continued)
If any such evidence exists, any impairment loss is determined, recognised
and accounted for under the equity method in the consolidated financial
statements as follows:

For investments in subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures (see note

2(e)), the impairment loss is measured by comparing the recoverable
amount of the investment with its carrying amount in accordance with
note 2(o)(ii). The impairment loss is reversed if there has been a favourable
change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount in
accordance with note 2(o)(ii).
For unquoted equity securities carried at cost, the impairment loss is

measured as the difference between the carrying amount of the financial
asset and the estimated future cash flows, discounted at the current
market rate of return for a similar financial asset where the effect of
discounting is material. Impairment losses for equity securities carried at
cost are not reversed.
For trade and other current receivables and other financial assets carried
at amortised cost, the impairment loss is measured as the difference
between the assets carrying amount and the present value of estimated
future cash flows, discounted at the financial assets original effective
interest rate (i.e. the effective interest rate computed at initial recognition
of these assets), where the effect of discounting is material. This
assessment is made collectively where these financial assets share similar
risk characteristics, such as similar past due status, and have not been
individually assessed as impaired. Future cash flows for financial assets
which are assessed for impairment collectively are based on historical
loss experience for assets with credit risk characteristics similar to the
collective group.
137



(i)

(continued)
If in a subsequent period the amount of an impairment loss decreases
and the decrease can be linked objectively to an event occurring after
the impairment loss was recognised, the impairment loss is reversed
through profit or loss. A reversal of an impairment loss shall not result
in the assets carrying amount exceeding that which would have been
determined had no impairment loss been recognised in prior years.

For available-for-sale securities, the cumulative loss that has been

recognised in the fair value reserve is reclassified to profit or loss. The
amount of the cumulative loss that is recognised in profit or loss is the
difference between the acquisition cost (net of any principal repayment
and amortisation) and current fair value, less any impairment loss on that
asset previously recognised in profit or loss.
Impairment losses recognised in profit or loss in respect of availablefor-sale equity securities are not reversed through profit or loss. Any
subsequent increase in the fair value of such assets is recognised in other
comprehensive income.
Impairment losses in respect of available-for-sale debt securities are
reversed if the subsequent increase in fair value can be objectively related
to an event occurring after the impairment loss was recognised. Reversals
of impairment losses in such circumstances are recognised in profit or
loss.
138
Annual Report 2013



(i)

(continued)
Impairment losses are written off against the corresponding assets directly,
except for impairment losses recognised in respect of trade debtors and
notes receivable included within trade and other receivables, whose recovery
is considered doubtful but not remote. In this case, the impairment losses for
doubtful debts are recorded using an allowance account. When the Group
is satisfied that recovery is remote, the amount considered irrecoverable is
written off against trade debtors and notes receivable directly and any amounts
held in the allowance account relating to that debt are reversed. Subsequent
recoveries of amounts previously charged to the allowance account are
reversed against the allowance account. Other changes in the allowance
account and subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off directly
are recognised in profit or loss.
(ii) Impairment of other assets

Internal and external sources of information are reviewed at each statement
of financial position date to identify indications that the following assets may
be impaired or, except in the case of goodwill, an impairment loss previously
recognised no longer exists or may have decreased:

property, plant and equipment;
pre-paid interests in leasehold land classified as being held under an

operating lease;
intangible assets;
goodwill; and
investments in subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures in the

Companys statement of financial position.
139



(ii) Impairment of other assets (continued)
If any such indication exists, the assets recoverable amount is estimated. In
addition, for goodwill and intangible assets that are not yet available for use,
the recoverable amount is estimated annually whether or not there is any
indication of impairment.

Calculation of recoverable amount

The recoverable amount of an asset is the greater of its fair value less
costs to sell and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated
future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax
discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value
of money and the risks specific to the asset. Where an asset does not
generate cash inflows largely independent of those from other assets, the
recoverable amount is determined for the smallest group of assets that
generates cash inflows independently (i.e. a cash-generating unit).
Recognition of impairment losses

An impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss if the carrying amount
of an asset, or the cash-generating unit to which it belongs, exceeds its
recoverable amount. Impairment losses recognised in respect of cashgenerating units are allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any
goodwill allocated to the cash-generating unit (or group of units) and then,
to reduce the carrying amount of the other assets in the unit (or group of
units) on a pro rata basis, except that the carrying value of an asset will
not be reduced below its individual fair value less costs of disposal (if
measurable), or value in use (if determinable).
140
Annual Report 2013



(ii) Impairment of other assets (continued)

Reversals of impairment losses

In respect of assets other than goodwill, an impairment loss is reversed
if there has been a favourable change in the estimates used to determine
the recoverable amount. An impairment loss in respect of goodwill is not
reversed.
A reversal of an impairment loss is limited to the assets carrying
amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been
recognised in prior years. Reversals of impairment losses are credited to
profit or loss in the year in which the reversals are recognised.
(iii) Interim financial reporting and impairment

Under the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on the Stock Exchange of
Hong Kong Limited, the Group is required to prepare an interim financial report
in compliance with IAS 34, Interim financial reporting, in respect of the first
six months of the financial year. At the end of the interim period, the Group
applies the same impairment testing, recognition, and reversal criteria as it
would at the end of the financial year (see notes 2(o)(i) and 2(o)(ii)).
Impairment losses recognised in an interim period in respect of goodwill,
available-for-sale equity securities and unquoted equity securities carried
at cost are not reversed in a subsequent period. This is the case even if
no loss, or a smaller loss, would have been recognised had the impairment
been assessed only at the end of the financial year to which the interim
period relates. Consequently, if the fair value of an available-for-sale equity
security increases in the remainder of the annual period, or in any other period
subsequently, the increase is recognised in other comprehensive income and
not profit or loss.
141



(p) Inventories
Inventories, other than spare parts and consumables, are carried at the lower of
cost and net realisable value.
Cost is calculated using the weighted average cost formula and comprises all costs
of purchase, cost of conversion and other costs incurred in bringing the inventories
to their present location and condition.
Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business
less the estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make
the sale.
When inventories are sold, the carrying amount of those inventories is recognised
as an expense in the period in which the related revenue is recognised. The
amount of any write-down of inventories to net realisable value and all losses of
inventories are recognised as an expense in the period the write-down or loss
occurs. The amount of any reversal of any write-down of inventories is recognised
as a reduction in the amount of inventories recognised as an expense in the period
in which the reversal occurs.
Spare parts and consumables are stated at cost less any provision for
obsolescence.
(q) Trade and other receivables
Trade and other receivables are initially recognised at fair value and thereafter
stated at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less allowance for
impairment of doubtful debts (see note 2(o)), except where the receivables are
interest-free loans made to related parties without any fixed repayment terms or the
effect of discounting would be immaterial. In such cases, the receivables are stated
at cost less allowance for impairment of doubtful debts.
142
Annual Report 2013



(r) Interest-bearing borrowings
Interest-bearing borrowings are recognised initially at fair value less attributable
transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, interest-bearing borrowings
are stated at amortised cost with any difference between the amount initially
recognised and redemption value being recognised in profit or loss over the period
of the borrowings, together with any interest and fees payable, using the effective
interest method.
(s) Trade and other payables
Trade and other payables are initially recognised at fair value. Except for financial
guarantee liabilities measured in accordance with note 2(w)(i), trade and other
payables are subsequently stated at amortised cost unless the effect of discounting
would be immaterial, in which case they are stated at cost.
(t) Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash at bank and on hand, demand deposits
with banks and other financial institutions, and short-term, highly liquid investments
that are readily convertible into known amounts of cash and which are subject to an
insignificant risk of changes in value, having been within three months of maturity
at acquisition.
(u) Employee benefits
Salaries, annual bonuses, paid annual leave, contributions to defined contribution
retirement plans and the cost of non-monetary benefits are accrued in the year
in which the associated services are rendered by employees. Where payment or
settlement is deferred and the effect would be material, these amounts are stated
at their present values.
143



(u) Employee benefits (continued)
In accordance with the rules and regulations in the PRC, the Group has arranged
for its local employees to join defined contribution retirement plans organised by
the PRC government. The PRC government undertakes to assume the retirement
benefit obligations of all existing and future retired employees payable under the
plans. The assets of those plans are held separately from those of the Group in an
independent fund managed by the PRC government. The Group is required to make
monthly defined contributions to these plans at certain rates of their total salary
subject to a certain ceiling. The Group has no other obligations for the payment of
retirement and other post-retirement benefits of employees or retirees other than
the payments disclosed above.
(v) Income tax
Income tax for the year comprises current tax and movements in deferred tax
assets and liabilities. Current tax and movements in deferred tax assets and
liabilities are recognised in profit or loss except to the extent that they relate to
items recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, in which
case the relevant amounts of tax are recognised in other comprehensive income or
directly in equity, respectively.
Current tax is the expected tax payable on the taxable income for the year, using
tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the statement of financial position
date, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities arise from deductible and taxable temporary
differences respectively, being the differences between the carrying amounts of
assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and their tax bases. Deferred
tax assets also arise from unused tax losses and unused tax credits.
144
Annual Report 2013



(v) Income tax (continued)
Apart from certain limited exceptions, all deferred tax liabilities, and all deferred tax
assets to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available
against which the asset can be utilised, are recognised. Future taxable profits
that may support the recognition of deferred tax assets arising from deductible
temporary differences include those that will arise from the reversal of existing
taxable temporary differences, provided those differences relate to the same
taxation authority and the same taxable entity, and are expected to reverse either in
the same period as the expected reversal of the deductible temporary difference or
in periods into which a tax loss arising from the deferred tax asset can be carried
back or forward. The same criteria are adopted when determining whether existing
taxable temporary differences support the recognition of deferred tax assets
arising from unused tax losses and credits, that is, those differences are taken into
account if they relate to the same taxation authority and the same taxable entity,
and are expected to reverse in a period, or periods, in which the tax loss or credit
can be utilised.
The limited exceptions to recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities are those
temporary differences arising from goodwill not deductible for tax purposes, the
initial recognition of assets or liabilities that affect neither accounting nor taxable
profit (provided they are not part of a business combination), and temporary
differences relating to investments in subsidiaries to the extent that, in the case of
taxable differences, the Group controls the timing of the reversal and it is probable
that the differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future, or in the case of
deductible differences, unless it is probable that they will reverse in the future.
The amount of deferred tax recognised is measured based on the expected manner
of realisation or settlement of the carrying amount of the assets and liabilities,
using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the end of the reporting period.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are not discounted.
The carrying amount of a deferred tax asset is reviewed at each statement of
financial position date and is reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable
that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow the related tax benefit to be
utilised. Any such reduction is reversed to the extent that it becomes probable that
sufficient taxable profits will be available.
145



(v) Income tax (continued)
Additional income taxes that arise from the distribution of dividends are recognised
when the liability to pay the related dividends is recognised.
Current tax balances and deferred tax balances, and movements therein, are
presented separately from each other and are not offset. Current tax assets are
offset against current tax liabilities, and deferred tax assets against deferred tax
liabilities, if the Group or the Company has the legally enforceable right to set
off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and the following additional
conditions are met:
146
in the case of current tax assets and liabilities, the Group or the Company
intends either to settle on a net basis, or to realise the asset and settle the
liability simultaneously; or
in the case of deferred tax assets and liabilities, if they relate to income taxes
levied by the same taxation authority on either:
Annual Report 2013
the same taxable entity; or
different taxable entities, which, in each future period in which significant

amounts of deferred tax liabilities or assets are expected to be settled or
recovered, intend to realise the current tax assets and settle the current
tax liabilities on a net basis or realise and settle simultaneously.



(w) Financial guarantees issued, provisions and contingent liabilities
(i)
Financial guarantees issued

Financial guarantees are contracts that require the issuer (i.e. the guarantor)
to make specified payments to reimburse the beneficiary of the guarantee (the
holder) for a loss the holder incurs because a specified debtor fails to make
payment when due in accordance with the terms of a debt instrument.
Where the Group issues a financial guarantee, the fair value of the guarantee
is initially recognised as deferred income within trade and other payables. The
fair value of financial guarantees issued at the time of issuance is determined
by reference to fees charged in an arms length transaction for similar services,
when such information is obtainable, or is otherwise estimated by reference
to interest rate differentials, by comparing the actual rates charged by lenders
when the guarantee is made available with the estimated rates that lenders
would have charged, had the guarantees not been available, where reliable
estimates of such information can be made. Where consideration is received
or receivable for the issuance of the guarantee, the consideration is recognised
in accordance with the Groups policies applicable to that category of asset.
Where no such consideration is received or receivable, an immediate expense
is recognised in profit or loss on initial recognition of any deferred income.
The amount of the guarantee initially recognised as deferred income is
amortised in profit or loss over the term of the guarantee as income from
financial guarantees issued. In addition, provisions are recognised in
accordance with note 2(w)(iii) if and when (i) it becomes probable that the
holder of the guarantee will call upon the Group under the guarantee, and
(ii) the amount of that claim on the Group is expected to exceed the amount
currently carried in trade and other payables in respect of that guarantee i.e.
the amount initially recognised, less accumulated amortisation.
147



(w) Financial guarantees issued, provisions and contingent liabilities (continued)
(ii) Contingent liabilities assumed in business combinations
Contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination which are present
obligations at the date of acquisition are initially recognised at fair value,
provided the fair value can be reliably measured. After their initial recognition
at fair value, such contingent liabilities are recognised at the higher of the
amount initially recognised, less accumulated amortisation where appropriate,
and the amount that would be determined in accordance with note 2(w)
(iii). Contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination that cannot be
reliably fair valued or were not present obligations at the date of acquisition
are disclosed in accordance with note 2(w)(iii).
(iii) Other provisions and contingent liabilities
Provisions are recognised for other liabilities of uncertain timing or amount
when the Group or the Company has a legal or constructive obligation arising
as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits
will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made.
Where the time value of money is material, provisions are stated at the present
value of the expenditure expected to settle the obligation.
Where it is not probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required,
or the amount cannot be estimated reliably, the obligation is disclosed as a
contingent liability, unless the probability of outflow of economic benefits is
remote. Possible obligations, whose existence will only be confirmed by the
occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more future events are also disclosed
as contingent liabilities unless the probability of outflow of economic benefits
is remote.
148
Annual Report 2013



(x) Revenue recognition
Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable.
Provided it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Group and the
revenue and costs, if applicable, can be measured reliably, revenue is recognised in
profit or loss as follows:
(i)
Sale of goods
Revenue is recognised when goods are delivered at the customers premises
which is taken to be the point in time when the customer has accepted the
goods and the related risks and rewards of ownership. Revenue excludes
value-added tax or other sales taxes and is after deduction of any trade
discounts.
(ii) Rental income from operating leases

Rental income receivable under operating leases is recognised in profit or
loss in equal instalments over the periods covered by the lease term, except
where an alternative basis is more representative of the pattern of benefits
to be derived from the use of the leased asset. Lease incentives granted are
recognised in profit or loss as an integral part of the aggregate net lease
payments receivable. Contingent rentals are recognised as income in the
accounting period in which they are earned.
(iii) Dividends

Dividend income from unlisted investments is recognised when the

shareholders right to receive payment is established.
Dividend income from listed investments is recognised when the share

price of the investment goes ex-dividend.
(iv) Interest income

Interest income is recognised as it accrues using the effective interest method.
149



(x) Revenue recognition (continued)
(v) Government grants
Government grants are recognised in the statement of financial position
initially when there is reasonable assurance that they will be received and
that the Group will comply with the conditions attaching to them. Grants that
compensate the Group for expenses incurred are recognised as income in
profit or loss on a systematic basis in the same periods in which the expenses
are incurred. Grants that compensate the Group for the cost of an asset are
recognised as deferred income in the statement of financial position and
consequently recognised in profit or loss over the useful life of the asset by
way of reduced depreciation expense.
(y) Repairs and maintenance
Expenditure on repairs and maintenance is charged to profit or loss as and when
incurred.
(z) Translation of foreign currencies
Foreign currency transactions during the year are translated at the foreign exchange
rates ruling at the transaction dates. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated
in foreign currencies are translated at the foreign exchange rates ruling at the
statement of financial position date. Exchange gains and losses are recognised in
profit or loss.
Non-monetary assets and liabilities that are measured in terms of historical cost
in a foreign currency are translated using the foreign exchange rates ruling at the
transaction dates. Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign
currencies that are stated at fair value are translated using the foreign exchange
rates ruling at the dates the fair value was measured.
150
Annual Report 2013



(z) Translation of foreign currencies (continued)
The results of foreign operations are translated into RMB at the exchange rates
approximating the foreign exchange rates ruling at the dates of the transactions.
Statement of financial position items are translated into RMB at the closing
foreign exchange rates at the end of the reporting period. The resulting exchange
differences are recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated
separately in equity in the exchange reserve.
On disposal of a foreign operation, the cumulative amount of the exchange
differences relating to that foreign operation is reclassified from equity to profit or
loss when the profit or loss on disposal is recognised.
(aa) Borrowing costs
Borrowing costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or
production of an asset which necessarily takes a substantial period of time to get
ready for its intended use are capitalised as part of the cost of that asset. Other
borrowing costs are expensed in the period in which they are incurred.
The capitalisation of borrowing costs as part of the cost of a qualifying asset
commences when expenditure for the asset is being incurred, borrowing costs are
being incurred and activities that are necessary to prepare the asset for its intended
use are in progress. Capitalisation of borrowing costs is suspended or ceases
when substantially all the activities necessary to prepare the qualifying asset for its
intended use are interrupted or complete.
(bb) Related parties
(a) A person, or a close member of that persons family, is related to the Group if
that person:
(i)
has control or joint control over the Group;
(ii) has significant influence over the Group; or

(iii) is a member of the key management personnel of the Group or the
Groups parent.
151



(bb) Related parties (continued)
(b) An entity is related to the Group if any of the following conditions applies:
(i)
The entity and the Group are members of the same Group (which means
that each parent, subsidiary and fellow subsidiary is related to the others).
(ii) One entity is an associate or joint venture of the other entity (or an
associate or joint venture of a member of a Group of which the other
entity is a member).
(iii) Both entities are joint ventures of the same third party.
(iv) One entity is a joint venture of a third entity and the other entity is an
associate of the third entity.
(v) The entity is a post-employment benefit plan for the benefit of employees
of either the Group or an entity related to the Group.
(vi) The entity is controlled or jointly controlled by a person identified in (a).
(vii) A person identified in (a)(i) has significant influence over the entity or is a
member of the key management personnel of the entity (or of a parent of
the entity).
Close members of the family of a person are those family members who may be
expected to influence, or be influenced by, that person in their dealings with the
entity.
152
Annual Report 2013



(cc) Segment reporting
Operating segments, and the amounts of each segment item reported in the
financial statements, are identified from the financial information provided regularly
to the Groups most senior executive management for the purposes of allocating
resources to, and assessing the performance of, the Groups various lines of
business and geographical locations.
Individually material operating segments are not aggregated for financial reporting
purposes unless the segments have similar economic characteristics and are
similar in respect of the nature of products and services, the nature of production
processes, the type or class of customers, the methods used to distribute the
products or provide the services, and the nature of the regulatory environment.
Operating segments which are not individually material may be aggregated if they
share a majority of these criteria.
153


3 Accounting judgement and estimates

Note 40 contains information about the assumptions and their risk factors relating to the
fair value of financial instruments. Other key sources of estimation uncertainty are as
follows:
(a) Impairment for non-current assets
If circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of a non-current asset may
not be recoverable, the asset may be considered impaired, and an impairment
loss may be recognised in accordance with IAS 36, Impairment of Assets. The
carrying amounts of non-current assets are reviewed periodically in order to assess
whether the recoverable amounts have declined below the carrying amounts. These
assets are tested for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances
indicate that their recorded carrying amounts may not be recoverable. When such
a decline has occurred, the carrying amount is reduced to recoverable amount. The
recoverable amount is the greater of the net selling price and the value in use. It
is difficult to precisely estimate selling price because quoted market prices for the
Groups assets are not readily available. In determining the value in use, expected
cash flows generated by the asset are discounted to their present value, which
requires significant judgement relating to level of sale volume, tariff and amount
of operating costs. The Group uses all readily available information in determining
an amount that is a reasonable approximation of recoverable amount, including
estimates based on reasonable and supportable assumptions and projections of
sales volume, tariffs and amount of operating costs.
(b) Depreciation
Property, plant and equipment are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the
estimated useful lives of the assets, after taking into account the estimated residual
value. The Group reviews the estimated useful lives of the assets regularly in
order to determine the amount of depreciation expense to be recorded during any
reporting period. The useful lives are based on the Groups historical experience
with similar assets and taking into account upgrading and improvement work
performed, and anticipated technological changes. The depreciation expense for
future periods is adjusted if there are significant changes from previous estimates.
154
Annual Report 2013


3 Accounting judgement and estimates (continued)

(c) Inventories
Net realisable value of inventories is the estimated selling price in the ordinary
course of business, less estimated costs of completion and selling expenses. These
estimates are based on the current market condition and the historical experience
of manufacturing and selling products of similar nature. In addition, these estimates
could change significantly as a result of change in customer preference and
competitor actions in response to industry cycles. Management measures these
estimates at each statement of financial position date.
(d) Impairment for bad and doubtful debts
The Group estimates impairment losses for bad and doubtful debts resulting from
the inability of customers to make the required payments. The Group bases the
estimates on the ageing of the accounts receivable balance, customer creditworthiness, and historical write-off experience. If the financial condition of the
customers were to deteriorate, actual write-offs would be higher than estimated.
(e) Fair value
In determining the fair value of the financial instruments, considerable judgement
is required to interpret market data used in the valuation techniques. The use of
different market assumptions and/or estimation methodologies may have a material
effect on the estimated fair value amounts.

Business combinations
The Group acquired a subsidiary and certain core assets which constitute to a business
under IFRS 3, Business Combinations, from independent third parties during the year.
The acquired subsidiary and core assets are located in the PRC and are principally
engaged in the manufacture and sale of clinkers and cement related products.
During the periods from the respective dates of acquisitions to 31 December 2013,
these acquired subsidiary and core assets contributed an aggregate revenue of RMB
169,481,000 and an aggregate profit of RMB 9,007,000 to the Groups results. If
the acquisitions had occurred on 1 January 2013, management estimates that the
consolidated revenue of the Group for the year ended 31 December 2013 would have
been RMB 55,375,998,000, and the consolidated profit for the year would have been
RMB 9,787,865,000. In determining these amounts, management has assumed that the
fair value adjustments that arose on the respective dates of acquisition would remain the
same even if the acquisitions had all occurred on 1 January 2013.
Summary of net assets acquired in the above acquisitions, and the goodwill arising, are
as follows:

5 Turnover and segment reporting (continued)

(b) Segment reporting (continued)
(i)
Segment results, assets and liabilities

For the purposes of assessing segment performance and allocating resources
between segments, the Groups senior executive management monitors the
results, assets and liabilities attributable to each reportable segment on the
following bases:
Segment assets include all assets in the financial statements prepared in
accordance with China Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises (2006)
(PRC accounting standards). Segment liabilities include all liabilities in the
financial statements prepared in accordance with PRC accounting standards.
Revenue and expenses are allocated to the reportable segments with reference
to sales generated by those segments and the expenses incurred by those
segments or which otherwise arise from the depreciation or amortisation of
assets attributable to those segments in accordance with PRC accounting
standards.
The measure used for reporting segment profit is profit before taxation in
accordance with PRC accounting standards.
In addition to receiving segment information concerning profit before taxation,
management is provided with segment information concerning revenue (including
inter-segment revenue), interest income and expense from cash balances and
borrowings managed directly by the segments, depreciation, amortisation and
impairment losses and additions to non-current segment assets used by the
segments in their operations. Inter-segment revenue are priced with reference
to prices charged to external parties for similar orders.

(i) As at 31 December 2013, the carrying amount of property, plant and equipment
pledged as security against the Groups non-current borrowings of RMB
650,000,000 (2012: non-current borrowings of RMB 650,000,000) amounted to
approximately RMB 351,544,000 (2012: RMB 392,866,000).
(ii) In 2010, the Group entered into sales and leaseback agreements with a finance
lease company, an independent third party. The agreements are for a period of
three years. The sales and leaseback transactions resulted in deferred gains on
disposal of the related plant and machinery which were leased back and recorded
as the Groups additions to plant and machinery of RMB177,478,000 in 2010. At
the end of 2013, the Group exercised the repurchase opinion and purchased back
the leased plant and machinery at a nominal value of RMB 1.
178
Annual Report 2013



(iii) According to the policy of elimination of backward production capacity issued by
Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the Group decided to replace
certain cement production lines with heavy energy consumption and accordingly,
the related plants and equipment are determined to be impaired. The recoverable
amount of these plants and equipment is determined based on fair value of
these assets less estimated costs to sell. Accordingly, a provision for impairment
of RMB160,687,000 was recognised against these plants and equipment to
write down their carrying amounts to their recoverable amounts. These assets
were subsequently disposed of in December 2013 and the related provision for
impairment was written back upon disposal.

Impairment tests for cash-generating units containing goodwill

For the purpose of impairment testing of goodwill, goodwill is allocated to a group of
cash-generating units (being subsidiaries acquired in each acquisition). Such group of
cash-generating units represents the lowest level within the Group at which the goodwill
is monitored for internal management purposes.
The recoverable amount of the cash-generating units is determined based on value-inuse calculations. These calculations use cash flow projections primarily based on the
respective financial budgets of the cash-generating units covering a five-year period
approved by management and pre-tax discount rate of 10.53% that reflects current
market assessment of the time value of money and specific risks relating to the Group.

(b) Impairment of trade debtors and notes receivable
Impairment losses in respect of trade debtors and notes receivable are recorded
using an allowance account unless the Group is satisfied that recovery of the
amount is remote, in which case the impairment loss is written off against trade
debtors and notes receivable directly (see note 2(o)(i)).

specific and collective loss components, is as follows:

individually nor collectively considered to be impaired are as follows:

1,442,455
Receivables that were neither past due nor impaired relate to a wide range of
customers for whom there was no recent history of default.
211



(c) Trade debtors and notes receivable that are not impaired (continued)
Receivables that were past due but not impaired relate to a number of independent
customers that have a good track record with the Group. Based on past
experience, management believes that no impairment allowance is necessary in
respect of these balances as there has not been a significant change in credit
quality and the balances are still considered fully recoverable. The Group does not
hold any collateral over these balances.
(d) Bank acceptance notes receivables
Prior to 1 January 2013, the undue notes receivable endorsed to suppliers to settle
trade payables by the Group were not derecognised as the Groups management
considered that the Group retained risk and rewards of ownership based on
assessment of qualitative and quantitative information of the issuance banks of
these acceptance notes. In 2013, the Groups management evaluated the risk
profile of the undue notes receivable endorsed to suppliers on a continuous basis
and believed that following the continuous improvement of both qualitative and
quantitative benchmarks of these issuance banks in assessing their credit and
interest risk, the risk and rewards of ownership of these undue notes receivable
retained by the Group are immaterial. As at 31 December 2013, the Group
endorsed the undue notes receivable of RMB1,508 million to its suppliers to settle
trade payables of the same amount and derecognised these notes receivables and
the payables to suppliers in their entirety as the risks and rewards of ownership
of these undue notes have been substantially transferred. The Groups continuous
involvement in these undue notes receivable is limited to when the issuance banks
of these undue notes are unable to settle the amounts to the holders of these
notes. The maximum exposure to loss from its continuous involvement in the
derecognised undue notes receivables represents the amount of notes receivable
which the Group endorsed to its suppliers. As at 31 December 2013, the undue
notes receivable of RMB1,278 million endorsed to its suppliers to settle the trade
payables were not derecognised because the issuance banks of these undue notes
receivable were certain smaller commercial banks in the PRC and management
believed that the credit risk of ownership were not substantially transferred. The
associated trade payables were also not derecognised.
All of the above undue notes receivable were due within 6 months.

According to the PRC tax law and regulations, the Group enjoys certain tax incentives arising from the
purchases of qualified energy conservation equipment, in the form of tax refunds.
Such subsidy incomes are regarded as government grants whose primary condition for qualification is the
purchase of certain long-term assets. The government grants are recognised as income over the periods
necessarily to match them with the related costs of assets purchased which they are intended to compensate
over the periods and in the proportion in which depreciation on those assets is charged.

and number of shares in the Company held by holders of A shares and stateowned shares as well as the total issued share capital of the Company will
remain unchanged. The State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration
Commission of the Peoples Government of Anhui Province (SASAC)
approved the Proposal on 15 February 2006.
On 1 March 2007, the board of directors of the Company applied to the SSE
for the listing of the 62,784,000 shares with trading restrictions (representing
approximately 5% of the total issued shares of the Company at 31 December
2006) in the Company held by Conch Holdings on the SSE. The SSE approved
the listing of such 62,784,000 shares with trading restrictions on 7 March
2007.
On 24 April 2007, the Company obtained the approval of CSRC and (i) issued
an aggregate of 22,755,147 A shares to Conch Holdings as consideration
for the acquisition of 100% equity interest of Ningchang Plastic, 75% equity
interest of Wuhu Plastic and 100% equity interest of Conch International
Trading; and (ii) issued an aggregate of 287,999,046 A shares to Anhui Conch
Venture Investment Company Limited (CV Investment) as consideration for
the acquisition of 49% equity interest in Digang Conch, 49% equity interest in
Zongyang Conch, 49% equity interest in Chizhou Conch and 31.86% equity
interest in Tongling Conch. Pursuant to these transactions, the registered
capital of the Company was increased to RMB1,566,434,193 by the issuance
of an additional 310,754,193 restricted A shares of RMB1 each, ranking pari
passu with the then existing shares of the Company in all respects, except for
the trading restrictions as noted above.

(i)
Registered and issued share capital (continued)

On 25 February 2008, the board of directors of the Company applied to the
SSE for the listing of the 62,784,000 shares with trading restrictions (representing
2007) in the Company held by Conch Holdings on the SSE. The SSE approved
the listing of such 62,784,000 shares with trading restrictions on 3 March
2008.
The Company issued 200,000,000 A shares with a par value of RMB1.00 each
in May 2008 at an issue price of RMB57.38 per share, ranking pari passu with
the then existing shares of the Company in all respects. The aforementioned A
shares were listed on the SSE on 28 May 2008.
On 25 February 2009, the board of directors of the Company applied to
the SSE for the listing of the 496,912,000 shares with trading restrictions
(representing approximately 28% of the total issued shares of the Company at

On 20 May 2010, the board of directors of the Company applied to the SSE
for the listing of the 310,754,000 shares with trading restrictions (representing
2009) in the Company held by Conch Holdings, CV Investment and Ping An
Trust and Investment Co., Ltd. on the SSE. The SSE approved the listing of
such 310,754,000 shares with trading restrictions on 26 May 2010.
A shares and H shares rank pari passu in all respects, except that ownership
of A shares is restricted to PRC nationals and legal persons and qualified
foreign investment institutions, while H shares can only be owned and traded
by investors outside mainland China. Dividends on A shares are payable in
RMB, while dividends on H shares are payable in HK$.

(ii) Capitalisation issue
The 2010 Annual General Meeting held on 31 May 2011 approved the bonus
issue of 5 shares for every 10 shares held by the shareholders as at 15 June
2011. As a result, the issued share capital of the Company increased from
RMB3,532,868,000 to RMB5,299,303,000 after capitalization of share premium
of RMB1,766,435,000.
(d) Nature and purpose of reserves
(i)
Share premium
Share premium represents net assets acquired from Conch Holdings in excess
of the par value of shares issued, and proceeds from the issuance of H shares
and A shares (or fair value of A shares) issued in excess of their par value, net
of underwriting commissions, professional fees and other reorganisation costs
for listing purpose.
(ii) Capital reserve

The capital reserve comprises the following:

the differences between the cost of acquisition of non-controlling interests

in subsidiaries and the carrying amount of the net assets additionally
acquired;
cash contributed by Conch Holdings; and
revaluation gain on lease prepayments.
237



(d) Nature and purpose of reserves (continued)
(iii) Statutory surplus reserve
In accordance with the Company Law of the PRC and the Companys articles
of association, the Company and its subsidiaries shall appropriate 10% of
their annual statutory net profit (after offsetting any prior years losses) as
determined in accordance with PRC accounting standards to the statutory
surplus reserve account. When the balance of such reserve fund reaches 50%
of the registered capital of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, further
appropriation to that company will become optional.
The statutory surplus reserve can be utilised to offset prior years losses
or to increase capital after proper approval. However, except for offsetting
prior years losses, the statutory surplus reserve of the Company and each
subsidiary should be maintained at a minimum of 25% of the registered capital
after utilisation.
For the year ended 31 December 2013, the subsidiaries of the Company
appropriated the statutory surplus reserve in accordance with the articles of
association. No statutory surplus reserve was appropriated for the Company in
the year 2013, since the balance of the statutory surplus reserve reached 50%
of the registered capital of the Company.
(iv) Fair value reserve
The fair value reserve comprises the cumulative net change in the fair value of
available-for-sale equity securities held at the statement of financial position
date and is dealt with in accordance with the accounting policy set out in note
2(g).
238
Annual Report 2013



(d) Nature and purpose of reserves (continued)
(v) Retained earnings
The distribution of dividends is made in accordance with the Companys
articles of association at the recommendation of the Board of Directors and
subject to approval by shareholders in general meetings. Pursuant to the
Notice [1995] 31 issued by the Ministry of Finance of the PRC on 24 August
1995, the amount of profit available for distribution to equity shareholders will
be determined based on the lower of unappropriated profits in the Companys
financial statements determined in accordance with (i) PRC accounting
standards and regulations, and (ii) IFRSs.
(e) Distributability of reserves
At 31 December 2013, the aggregate amount of reserves available for distribution
to equity shareholders of the Company was RMB24,365,154,000 (2012: RMB
18,480,932,000).
(f) Capital management
The Groups primary objectives when managing capital are to safeguard the
Groups ability to continue as a going concern, so that it can continue to provide
returns for equity shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders, by pricing
products and services commensurately with the level of risk and by securing
access to finance at a reasonable cost.
The Group actively and regularly reviews and manages its capital structure to
maintain a balance between the higher shareholder returns that might be possible
with higher levels of borrowings and the advantages and security afforded by a
sound capital position, and makes adjustments to the capital structure in light of
changes in economic conditions.
Consistent with industry practice, the Group monitors its capital structure on the
basis of gearing ratio which is total liabilities divided by total assets.
239



(f) Capital management (continued)
During 2013, the Groups strategy, which was unchanged from 2012, was to
maintain the gearing ratio at a reasonable level. The Groups gearing ratio as at 31
December 2013 was 37% (2012: 42%). In order to maintain or adjust the ratio, the
Group may adjust the amount of dividends paid to shareholders, issue new shares,
return capital to shareholders, raise new debt financing or sell assets to reduce
debt.
Other than the Groups other borrowings (secured) of RMB660,000,000 (see note
33(b)(ii) and note 34), neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries are subject to
externally imposed capital requirements.
40 Financial risk management and fair values

Exposure to credit, liquidity, interest rate and currency risks arises in the normal course
of the Groups business. The Group is also exposed to equity price risk arising from its
equity investments in other entities.
The Groups exposure to these risks and the financial risk management policies and
practices used by the Group to manage these risks are described below.
(a) Credit risk
The Groups credit risk is primarily attributable to trade and other receivables.
Management has a credit policy in place to ensure that sales of products are made
to customers with an appropriate credit history and the exposures to these credit
risks are monitored on an ongoing basis. In addition, the Group normally receives
deposits from customers before delivery of products.
240
Annual Report 2013


40 Financial risk management and fair values (continued)

(a) Credit risk (continued)
In respect of trade and other receivables, individual credit evaluations are performed
on all customers requiring credit over a certain amount. These evaluations focus
on the customers past history of making payments when due and current ability
to pay, and take into account information specific to the customer as well as
pertaining to the economic environment in which the customer operates. Trade
receivables are due within 30-60 days from the date of billing, except for retention
money in respect of certain sales contracts which is due upon the expiry of the
retention period. Debtors with balances that are more than 2 months past due are
requested to settle all outstanding balances before any further credit is granted.
Normally, the Group does not obtain collateral from customers.
Investments are normally only in liquid securities quoted on a recognised stock
exchange, except where entered into for long-term strategic purposes. Transactions
involving derivative financial instruments are with counterparties of sound credit
standing and with whom the Group has a signed netting agreement. Given their
high credit standing, management does not expect any investment counterparty to
fail to meet its obligations.
The Groups exposure to credit risk is influenced mainly by the individual
characteristics of each customer rather than the industry or country in which the
customers operate and therefore significant concentrations of credit risk primarily
arise when the Group has significant exposure to individual customers. At 31
December 2013, 48% (2012: 34%) of the total trade receivables was due from the
Groups five largest customers.
The maximum exposure to credit risk without taking account of any collateral held
is represented by the carrying amount of each financial asset in the statement of
financial position after deducting any impairment allowance. The Group does not
provide any guarantees which would expose the Group to credit risk.
Further quantitative disclosures in respect of the Groups exposure to credit risk
arising from trade and other receivables are set out in notes 26 and 27.
241



(b) Liquidity risk
Individual operating entities within the Group are responsible for their own cash
management, but the borrowings are subject to approval by the parent companys
management. The Groups policy is to regularly monitor its liquidity requirements
and its compliance with lending covenants, to ensure that it maintains sufficient
reserves of cash and readily realisable marketable securities and adequate
committed lines of funding from major financial institutions to meet its liquidity
requirements in the short and longer term.
The following table details the remaining contractual maturities at the statement of
financial position date of the Groups and the Companys non-derivative financial
liabilities which are based on contractual undiscounted cash flows (including
interest payments computed using contractual rates or, if floating, based on rates
current at the statement of financial position date) and the earliest date the Group
and the Company can be required to pay:

(c) Interest rate risk

The Groups interest rate risk arises primarily from borrowings and long-term
payables. Borrowings issued at variable rates and fixed rates expose the Group to
cash flow interest rate risk and fair value risk respectively. The interest rates and
terms of repayment of the Groups and the Companys borrowings are disclosed in
notes 33, 34 and 35. The Groups interest rate profile as monitored by management
is set out in (i) below.

(ii) Sensitivity analysis
At 31 December 2013, it is estimated that a general increase/decrease
basis points in interest rates, with all other variables held constant,
have decreased/increased the Groups profit after tax and retained
by approximately RMB11,214,000 (2012: RMB9,394,000) in response
general increase/decrease in interest rates.
of 100
would
profits
to the
The sensitivity analysis above indicates the instantaneous change in the

Groups profit after tax (and retained profits) that would arise assuming that
the change in interest rates had occurred at the statement of financial position
date and had been applied to re-measure those financial instruments held
by the Group which expose the Group to fair value interest rate risk at the
statement of financial position date. In respect of the exposure to cash flow
interest rate risk arising from floating rate non-derivative instruments held
by the Group at the statement of financial position date, the impact on the
Groups profit after tax (and retained profits) is estimated as an annualised
impact on interest expense or income of such a change in interest rates. The
analysis is performed on the same basis for 2012.
(d) Currency risk
The Group is exposed to currency risk primarily through sales and purchases which
give rise to receivables, payables and cash balances that are denominated in a
foreign currency, i.e. a currency other than the functional currency of the operations
to which the transactions relate. The currency giving rise to this risk is primarily
United States dollars. The Group manages this risk as follows:
(i)
Forecast transaction
At 31 December 2013, the Group had forward exchange contracts hedging
forecast transactions with a fair value of RMB4,590,000 (2012: RMB2,034,000),
recognised as derivative financial instruments.
247



(d) Currency risk (continued)
(ii) Recognised assets and liabilities
In respect of trade receivables and payables denominated in foreign
currencies, the Group ensures that the net exposure is kept to an acceptable
level, by buying or selling foreign currencies at spot rates where necessary to
address short-term imbalances.
(iii) Exposure to currency risk
The following table details the Groups exposure at the statement of financial
position date to currency risk arising from recognised assets or liabilities
denominated in a currency other than the functional currency of the entity to
which they relate. For presentation purposes, the amounts of the exposure are
shown in RMB, translated using the spot rate at the year end date.

Results of the analysis as presented in the above table represent an

profit after tax and equity measured in the respective functional currencies,
translated into RMB at the exchange rate ruling at the statement of financial
position date for presentation purposes.
The sensitivity analysis assumes that the change in foreign exchange rates
had been applied to re-measure those financial instruments held by the Group
which expose the Group to foreign currency risk at the statement of financial
position date, including inter-company payables and receivables within
the Group which are denominated in a currency other than the functional
currencies of the lender or the borrower. The analysis is performed on the
same basis for 2012.
250
Annual Report 2013



(e) Equity price risk
The Group is exposed to equity price changes arising from trading securities and
equity investments classified as available-for-sale equity securities (see notes 23
and 25).
The Group and the Company mitigate the risk associated with investments in equity
securities by making strategic investment with its disposable fund pursuant to the
authorisation of the board of directors, and by limiting the investment to certain
listed domestic cement companies with considerable scale, competitive advantage
and development potential.
The scale of such investment is controlled under a reasonable cap, and investment
strategies are designed collectively by the Group based on securities market
conditions and the corporate governance of the targeted companies.
In compliance with PRC laws and regulations and based on the Groups investment
strategy, investments in equity securities are classified as available-for-sale
securities and securities held for trading, which are then monitored and managed
under these classifications respectively.
For investments classified as available-for-sale securities, the Group observes
the invested companies operation and development, and seeks to obtain an
understanding of their business management through participation in their
shareholders meetings.
For investments classified as securities held for trading, the Group closely monitors
changes in state and local policies, the development of the invested companies
business and changes in the securities market, and thereby seeks to attain capital
gain by trading accordingly.
251



(e) Equity price risk (continued)
It is estimated that an increase/decrease of 1% (2012: 1%) in the respective quoted
share prices of these securities, with all other variables held constant, would have
increased/reduced the Groups retained profits and fair value reserve as follows:

The sensitivity analysis indicates the instantaneous change in the Groups retained
profits and fair value reserve that would arise assuming that the changes in the
respective quoted share prices had occurred at the statement of financial position
date and had been applied to re-measure those financial instruments held by the
Group which expose the Group to equity price risk at the statement of financial
position date. It is also assumed that the fair values of the Groups equity
investments would change in accordance with the historical correlation with the
relevant share price, that none of the Groups available-for-sale investments would
be considered impaired as a result of the short term fluctuation of the relevant
share price, and that all other variables remain constant. The analysis is performed
on the same basis for 2012.

(f) Fair value measurement
(i)
Financial instruments carried at fair value

The following table presents the fair value of the Groups financial instruments
measured at the end of the reporting period on a recurring basis, categorised
into the three-level fair value hierarchy as defined in IFRS 13, Fair value
measurement. The level into which a fair value measurement is classified is
determined with reference to the observability and significance of the inputs
used in the valuation technique as follows:

Level 1: Fair values measured using only Level 1 inputs i.e. unadjusted
quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities at the
measurement date
Level 2: Fair value measured using Level 2 inputs i.e. observable inputs
which fail to meet Level 1, and not using significant unobservable inputs.
Unobservable inputs are inputs for which market data are not available
Level 3: Fair value measured using significant unobservable inputs

(i)

During the year ended 31 December 2013, there were no significant transfers
between financial instruments in level 1 and level 2.
Valuation techniques and inputs used in Level 2 fair value measurements
The fair value of forward exchange contracts in Level 2 is determined by
discounting the contractual forward price and deducting the current spot rate.
The discount rate used is derived from the relevant government yield curve as
at the end of the reporting period plus an adequate constant credit spread.
(ii) Fair values of financial instruments carried at other than fair value
The carrying amounts of the Groups financial instruments carried at cost
or amortised cost are not materially different from their fair values as at 31

(g) Estimation of fair values

The following summarises the major methods and assumptions used in estimating
the fair values of financial instruments.
(i) Securities
Fair value is based on quoted market prices at the statement of financial
position date without any deduction for transaction costs for those investments
in unrestricted A shares on the SSE and SZSE as at 31 December 2013.
(ii) Derivatives
Forward exchange contracts are either marked to market using listed market
prices or by discounting the contractual forward price and deducting the
current spot rate.
257



(g) Estimation of fair values (continued)
(iii) Interest-bearing loans and borrowings
The fair value is estimated as the present value of future cash flows,
discounted at current market interest rates for similar financial instruments, or
based on the quoted market prices at the statement of financial position date
without any deductions for transaction costs if available.
(iv) Financial guarantees
Financial guarantees were issued by the Company to its subsidiaries for bank
loans. The fair value of financial guarantees issued is determined by reference
to fees charged in an arms length transaction for similar services, when such
information is obtainable, or is otherwise estimated by reference to interest
rate differentials, by comparing the actual rates charged by lenders when the
guarantee is made available with the estimated rates that lenders would have
charged, had the guarantees not been available, where reliable estimates of
such information can be made. As the interest rate differential on the interest
rate of the guaranteed and non-guaranteed bank loans is insignificant, the fair
value of the financial guarantees issued was negligible.
(v) Interest rates used for determining fair value
The entity uses the market rate of bank loans as of 31 December 2013 plus an
adequate constant credit spread to discount financial instruments. The interest
rates used are as follows:
