The analysis of the operating results and financial conditions (1) Main operating revenue, cost and profit During the reporting period, the Company has realized its main operating income of RMB 10.14 billion, up by 39.65% from the last year. The revenue increase mainly came from Changed Ford, Changan Suzuki, Nanjing Changan and Hebei Changan, their revenue was RMB 1.8 billion, RMB 0.244 billion, RMB 0.394 billion and RMB 0.605 billion respectively. In terms of the revenue structure, the sales revenue from sedan increased rapidly, up to 44% from 33.67% of last year and it was mainly due to the revenue increase from Changan Ford Fiesta and Modeo. When the main operating income increased, at the same time, the cost of main operating business increased rate was 40.95%, and the main operating profit increased rate was 36.15% which is basically appropriate with the increase in its main operating business. During this period, the Company net profit up by 4.36% from last year. The increase was mainly contributed to Changan Ford, at the same time, Hebei Changan and Nanjing Changan has balanced their profit and loss. The operating profit of the headquarters of the Company decreased by RMB 0.239 billion because of the decrease in price and sales volumn as well as the increase in expenses during this period (please refer to the “period expenses” for the reasons). The operating profit of Changan Suzuki

Page 10: Chongqing Changan Automobile Company Limited - China · The Board of Directors of Chongqing Changan Automobile Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as “the Company”)

——————————————————————————————————————————————————— 9

decreased by RMB 21.13 million from last year because of the price adjustment of products during the first half of the year. (2) Period expenses The operating expenses of the first half of the year increased rate was 75.15%,compared with last year.

It increased mainly because Changan Ford was incorporated and the operating expenses increased by RMB 0.192 billion. The sales volume of Changan Suzuki, Nanjing Changan and Hebei Changan increased, which resulted in the increase in their operating expenses to different levels. The operating expenses of the headquarters of the Company increased by RMB 46.68 million because the sale service fee and transportation fee of a single car increased and the reversal of the compensation fee of the sales in the same period of last year has resulted in a relatively small comparative base. The administration expenses during the first half of the year increased rate 113.65% copared with the same time last year, mainly because the consolidated administration expenses of Changan Ford increased by RMB 0.104 billion and the consolidated administration expenses of the headquarters increased by RMB 0.125 billion. The main reason for the increase in the administration expenses of the headquarters was: a management impetus fund RMB 43.06 million was provided and the research and development fee increased by RMB 29.56 million from the last year. And the reversal of the inventory loss provision of RMB 26 million in the same period of last year has resulted in a relatively small comparative base. (3) Assets and liabilities Ended at June 30, the Company’s total asset was RMB 13.017 billion, up by 18.51% from the beginning of this year, mainly due to the scale increase of Changan Ford, Changan Suzuki, Nanjing Changan and Hebei Changan within the consolidation scope. The liabilities of the same period increased by 27.89 % because the Company increased its accounts receivables to suppliers by making use of its commercial credits and also because of the increase in the production and sales and service fee of “ Three Guarantees” as well as the increase in the Company’s long-term loans. The asset and liability ratio of the Company was 51.35% that maintained at a reasonable level. The explanations to the items that had relatively great fluctuations are as follows: The balance of the long-term loan was RMB 0.395 billion, up by 61.22% from the beginning of the year because the headquarters increased its loan of engineering investment by RMB 0.15 billion. 3.

II. Notes to the financial statements I. General Introduction to the Company Chongqing Changan Automobile Company Limited (hereafter referred to as “the Company”) was established in the People’s Republic of China (hereafter referred to as “PRC”) under the Company Law of the PRC on 31 October 1996. As a joint stock limited company, the company issued 506,190,000 shares to its sole sponsor Changan Automobile Group Company Limited (hereafter referred to as “CAC”) in exchange for mini-automobile and engine manufacturing equipment and related assets. The company also issued 250,000,000 B shares to overseas investors, the total share capital was RMB 756,190 on the date of establishment. The Legal Representative’s Operating License issued by Chongqing Industrial and Commercial Administrative Bureau is Yu-Jin No. 28546236-3. On 19 May 1997, with the approval of China Securities Regulatory Commission, the Company issued 120,000,000 A shares to domestic public investors, thereby increasing the total share capital to RMB 876,190. On 26 June 1998, the Company issued bonus shares on the basis of 4 shares for each 10 shares to the existing 876,190,000 shares in issue as at 31 December 1997. The bonus shares were issued as a distribution from the share premium account within shareholders’ equity. As a result, RMB 350,476 was transferred from the share premium account to share capital increasing share capital to RMB 1,226,666. On 26 May, 2004, the Company issued bonus shares on the basis of 2 bonus shares for each 10 shares to the existing 1,226,666,000 shares in issue as at 31 December 2003. As a result, the total capital was increased to RMB 1,471,999,200. The Company and its subsidiaries as well as associates (hereafter referred to as “the Group”) are mainly engaged in the production and selling of automobiles and automobiles parts. II.Accounting policies The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of these consolidated financial

statements are set out below: 1. Basis of preparation The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International

Financial Reporting Standards (hereafter referred to as “IFRS”), which includes International Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the International Accounting Standards Board. The consolidated financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention except as disclosed in the accounting policies below. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires the use of estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Although these estimates are based on management’s best knowledge of current event and actions, actual results ultimately may differ from those estimates.

2 Group accounting (1) Subsidiaries Subsidiaries, which are those entities in which the Company and its subsidiaries (hereafter

Page 21: Chongqing Changan Automobile Company Limited - China · The Board of Directors of Chongqing Changan Automobile Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as “the Company”)

——————————————————————————————————————————————————— 20

referred to as “the Group”) has an interest of more than one half of the voting rights or otherwise has power to govern the financial and operating policies are consolidated. The existence and effect of potential voting rights that are presently exercisable or presently convertible are considered when assessing whether the Group controls another entity. Subsidiaries are consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group and are no longer consolidated from the date that control ceases. The purchase method accounting is used to account for the acquisition of subsidiaries. The cost of an acquisition is measured as the fair value of the assets given up, shares issued or liabilities undertaken at the date of acquisition plus costs directly attributable to the acquisition. The excess of the cost of acquisition over the fair value of the net assets of the subsidiary acquired is recorded as goodwill. See note G for the accounting policy on goodwill. Inter-company transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions between group companies are eliminated; unrealised losses are also eliminated unless cost cannot be recovered. Where necessary, accounting policies of subsidiaries have been charged to ensure consistency with the policy adopted by the Group.

(2) Joint ventures The Group’s interest in jointly controlled entities are accounted for by proportionate

consolidation. The Group combines its share of the joint ventures’ individual income and expenses, assets and liabilities and cash flows on a line-by-line basis with similar items in the Group’s financial statements. The Group recognises the portion of gains or losses on the sale of assets by the Group to the joint venture that it is attributable to the other ventures. The Group does not recognise its share of profits or losses from the joint venture that result from the purchase of assets by the Group from the joint venture until it resells the assets to an independent party. However, if a loss on the transaction provides evidence of a reduction in the net realisable value of current assets or an impairment loss, the loss is recognised immediately.

(3) Associates Investments in associates are accounted for by the equity method of accounting. Under this

method the company’s share of the post-acquisition profits or losses of associates are recognised in the income statement and its share of post-acquisition movements in reserves are recognised in reserves. The cumulative post-acquisition movements are adjusted against the cost of the investment. Associates are entities over which the Group generally has between 20% and 50% of the voting rights, or over which the Group has significant influence, but which it does not control. Unrealised gains on transactions between the Group and its associates are eliminated to the extent of the Group’s interest in the associates; unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the asset transferred. When the Group’s share of losses in an associate equals or exceeds its interest in the associate, the Group does not recognise further losses, unless the Group has incurred obligations or made payments on behalf of the associates.

3 Foreign currency translation

(1) Measurement currency The consolidated financial statements are presented in Renminbi (“RMB”), which is the

measurement currency of the Company.

(2) Transactions and balances

Foreign currency transactions are translated into the measurement currency using the

Page 22: Chongqing Changan Automobile Company Limited - China · The Board of Directors of Chongqing Changan Automobile Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as “the Company”)

——————————————————————————————————————————————————— 21

exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses

resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation of monetary

assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies, are recognised in the income

statement.

4 Property, plant and equipment (1) Owned assets Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost or, in the case of assets injected into the

Group at the time of its reorganisation, at valuation less accumulated depreciation representing the deemed cost to the Group, less accumulated depreciation and any impairment losses. All direct and indirect costs relating to the acquisition or construction of property, plant and equipment including interest costs on related borrowed funds during the construction period are capitalized as property, plant and equipment.

(2) Subsequent expenditure Expenditure incurred to replace a component of an item of property, plant and equipment

that is accounted for separately, is capitalized with the carrying amount of the component being written off. Other subsequent expenditure is capitalized only when it increases the future economic benefits embodied in the item of property, plant and equipment. All other expenditure is recognized in the statement of income as an expense as incurred.

(3) Depreciation

Depreciation is calculated on the straight-line method to write off the cost of each asset, to their residual values over their estimated useful life as follows:

Buildings 20-40 years Plant and machinery 10-20 years Equipment and motor vehicles 5-8 years Others

5-22 years

(4) Construction in progress Construction of a building or plant is considered to be completed and transferred to property

plant and equipment on the date when substantially all the activities necessary to prepare the asset for its intended use are complete notwithstanding any delays in the issue of the relevant commissioning certificate by the appropriate PRC authorities.

Interest costs on borrowings to finance the construction of property, plant and equipment are

capitalised, during the period of time that is required to complete and prepare the asset for its intended use. All other borrowing costs are expensed.

(5) Disposal and impairment Where the carrying amount of an asset is greater than its estimated recoverable amount, it is

written down immediately to its recoverable amount.

Page 23: Chongqing Changan Automobile Company Limited - China · The Board of Directors of Chongqing Changan Automobile Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as “the Company”)

——————————————————————————————————————————————————— 22

Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with carrying amount and are included in operating profit.

5 Land use rights Amortisation of the land use rights is calculated on a straight-line basis to write off the cost

over the lease term ranging from 20 to 50 years. 6 Investments The Group classified its investments in debt and equity securities into the following

categories: trading, held-to-maturity and available-for-sale. The classification is dependent on the purpose for which the investments were acquired. Management determines the classification of its investments at the time of the purchase and re-evaluates such designation on a regular basis. Investments that are acquired principally for the purpose of generating a profit from short-term fluctuation in price are classified as trading investments and included in current assets. Investments with a fixed maturity that management has the intent and ability to hold to maturity are classified as held-to-maturity and are included in non-current assets, except for maturities within 12 months from the balance sheet date which are classified as current assets. Investments intended to be held for an indefinite period of time, which may be sold in response to needs for liquidity or changes in interest rates, are classified as available-for-sale; and are included in non-current assets unless management has the express intention of holding the investment for less than 12 months from the balance sheet date or unless they will need to be sold to raise operating capital, in which case they are included in current assets. Purchase and sales of investments are recognised on the trade date, which is the date that the Group commits to purchase or sell the asset. Cost of purchase includes transaction costs. Trading, held-to-maturity and available-for-sale investments are carried at cost less impairment.

7 Intangible assets (1) Goodwill Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of an acquisition over the fair value of the Group’s

share of the net assets of the acquired subsidiary/associate at the date of acquisition. Goodwill on acquisitions has been amortised using the straight-line method over its estimated useful life. Where it cannot be demonstrated that there is future economic benefits to be derived, the goodwill on acquisition will be written off upon acquisition.

(2) Industrial property rights and proprietary technology

Industrial property rights and proprietary technology are stated at cost and amortized on a

straight- line basis over a 10 year expected beneficial period starting from the date of use or over the actual production output.

8 Deferred assets Deferred assets include utility capacity enhancement expenses that are amortized using the

straight-line method over 10 years. 9 Impairment of long lived assets Property, plant and equipment and other non-current assets, including intangible assets are

Page 24: Chongqing Changan Automobile Company Limited - China · The Board of Directors of Chongqing Changan Automobile Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as “the Company”)

——————————————————————————————————————————————————— 23

reviewed for impairment losses whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its recoverable amount which is the higher of an asset’s net selling price and value in use.

10 Leases (1) A group company is the lessee Leases of land and buildings where a significant portion of the risks and rewards of ownership

are retained by the lessor are classified as operating leases. Payments made under operating leases (net of any incentives received from the lessor) are charged to the income statement on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease.

(2) A group company is the lessor Assets leased out under operating leases are included in property, plant and equipment in the

balance sheet. They are depreciated over their expected useful lives on a basis consistent with similar owned property, plant and equipment. Rental income (net of any incentives given to lessees) is recognised on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

11 Inventories Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realisable value. Cost is determined by the

weighted average method. The cost of finished goods and work in progress comprises raw materials, direct labour, other direct costs and related production overheads (based on normal operating capacity) but excludes borrowing costs. Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the costs of completion and selling expenses.

12 Trade receivables Trade receivables are carried at original invoice amount less provision made for impairment of

these receivables. A provision for impairment of trade receivables is established when there is an objective evidence that the Group will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of receivables. The amount of the provision is the difference between the carrying amount and the recoverable amount, being the present value of expected cash flows, discounted at the market rate of interest for similar borrowers.

13 Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents are carried in the balance sheet at cost. For the purposes of the cash

flow statement, cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and deposits held at call with banks.

14 Share capital

(1) Share capital consists of A and B shares. (2) Incremental external costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares, other than on a

business combination, are shown as a deduction, net of tax, in equity from the proceeds. Share issue costs incurred directly in connection with a business combination are included in the cost of acquisition.

15 Borrowings Borrowings are recognized initially at the proceeds received, net of any

Page 25: Chongqing Changan Automobile Company Limited - China · The Board of Directors of Chongqing Changan Automobile Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as “the Company”)

——————————————————————————————————————————————————— 24

transaction costs incurred. Borrowings are stated at amortized cost using the effective yield

method; any difference between proceeds (net of transaction costs) and redemption value is

subsequently recognized in the statement of income over the period of the borrowings.

16 Deferred Income tax Deferred income tax is provided in full, using the liability method, on temporary differences

arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements. Currently enacted tax rates are used in the determination of deferred income tax.

Deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit

will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilised. 17 Employee benefits (1) Pension obligations The Group participates in defined employees retirement schemes regarding pension benefit

required under existing PRC legislation. The contributions to the schemes are charged to the income statement as and when incurred. The Group’s obligations include contributions to a defined contribution retirement plan administered by a government agency determined at a certain percentage of the salaries of the employees and contributions to a supplementary pension fund of a fixed monthly amount per employee. The Group accounts for these contributions on the accrual basis.

The pension obligation not covered by the abovementioned retirement scheme is estimated

based on the present value of the estimated future cash outflows discounted using interest rates typically available to the company through bank deposit accounts.

(2) Termination benefits Termination benefits are payable whenever an employee’s employment is terminated before

the normal retirement date. The Group recognises termination benefits when it is demonstrably committed to either terminate the employment of current employees according to a detailed formal plan without possibility of withdrawal or to provide termination benefits as a result of an offer made to encourage voluntary redundancy. Benefits falling due more than 12 months after balance sheet date are discounted to present value.

(3) Housing fund and other benefits All of the Group’s full-time employees are entitled to participate in a state-sponsored

housing fund. The fund can be used by the Group for the construction of employee quarters, by the employees for purchasing accommodation, or may be withdrawn upon their retirement. The Group is required to make annual contributions to the state-sponsored housing fund equivalent to a certain percentage of the employees’ salary. In addition, the Company provided subsidies to eligible employees for purchase of their own flats and accounted for such subsidies when occurred. In addition, the Company made provision at 14% of total salary of its employee for general welfare.

18 Provisions Provisions, for mainly warranty cost, are recognised when the Group has a present legal or

constructive obligation as a result of past events, it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate of the amount can be made.

Page 26: Chongqing Changan Automobile Company Limited - China · The Board of Directors of Chongqing Changan Automobile Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as “the Company”)

——————————————————————————————————————————————————— 25

Where the Group expects a provision to be reimbursed, for example under an insurance contract, the reimbursement is recognised as a separate asset but only when the reimbursement is virtually certain. Rental income are recognised on an accrual basis. Interest income is recognised on a time proportion basis, taking account of the principal outstanding and the effective rate over the period to maturity, when it is determined that such income will accrue to the Group. Dividends are recognised when the right to receive payment is established.

19 Revenue recognition Revenue comprises the invoiced value for the sale of goods and services net of value-added

tax, rebates and discounts, and after eliminating sales within the Group. Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised when significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods are transferred to the buyer.

Rental income are recognised on an accrual basis. Interest income is recognised on a time

proportion basis, taking account of the principal outstanding and the effective rate over the period to maturity, when it is determined that such income will accrue to the Group. Dividends are recognised when the right to receive payment is established.

20 Dividends payable Dividends are recorded in the Group’s financial statements in the period in which they are

approved by the Group’s shareholders. 21 Research and development Research expenditure is recognised as an expense as incurred. Costs incurred on

development projects (relating to the design and testing of new or improved products) are recognised as intangible assets when it is probable that the project will be a success considering its commercial and technological feasibility, and only if the cost can be measured reliably. Other development expenditures are recognised as an expense as incurred. Development costs previously recognised as an expense are not recognised as an asset in a subsequent period. Development costs that have been capitalised are amortised from the commencement of the commercial production of the product on a straight-line basis over the period of its expected benefit.

22

Segment Reporting

The Group’s turnover and profit for the year were mainly derived from the manufacture and

domestic sale of automobiles and the principal assets employed by the Group are located in the PRC. Accordingly, no segmental analysis by business and geographical segments has been provided for the year

23 Government Grants Grants from the government are recognised at their fair value where there is a reasonable

assurance that the grant will be received and the Group will comply with all attached conditions. Government grants relating to costs are deferred and recognised in the income statement over the period necessary to match them with the costs they are intended to compensate. In 2003, the Group obtained and recognized grant of RMB 2.62 million from government in

Government grants relating assets are presented in the balance sheet by deducting the grant in arriving at the carrying amount of the assets. The grants are recognized as income over the lift of depreciable assets by way of a reduced depreciation charge.

24. Financial risk management The financial assets of the Group include cash and bank balances, cash and time deposits

with a related financial institution, investments, accounts and bills receivable, prepayments and other receivables, and amounts due from related companies. The financial liabilities of the Group include bank loans, accounts and bills payable, receipts in advance, accruals and other payables, accrued staff welfare and benefits and amounts due to related companies.

(1) Interest rate risk The Group’s income and operating cash flows are substantially independent of changes in

market rates.

(2) Credit risk (3) Cash at bank and in hand For prudent liquidity risk management, substantial amounts of the Group’s cash balances

are deposited with Industrial and Commercial Bank of China, Bank of Communications, Ordnance Finance Company, China Merchants Bank, Shanghai Pudong Development Bank, Huaxia Bank, Zhongxin Industrial Bank and Minsheng Bank Corporation.

(4) Receivables The Group does not have a significant exposure to any individual customer or counterparty.

Credit risk on receivables has already been accounted for in the financial statements as they are shown net of provisions for bad and doubtful debts.

(5) Fair values The fair values of cash and bank balances, cash placed with a related financial institution,

short term investments, receivables and prepayments, trade and other payables, current tax liabilities, provisions, are not materially different from their carrying amounts.

The carrying values of short term borrowings are estimated to approximate their fair values based on the nature or short term maturity of these instruments.

The fair values of long term borrowings as estimated by applying a discounted cash flow using current market interest rates for similar financial instruments approximate their carrying values.

Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time and are based on relevant market information and information about the financial instrument. These estimates are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgement, and therefore, cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect the estimates.
