Notes:

1. BASIS OF PREPARATION OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, MAJOR ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES

The interim financial statements are prepared in accordance with the requirements of Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises No. 32 – Interim Financial Reporting issued by the Ministry of Finance (the “ MOF ”), and hence do not include all the information and disclosures of the audited financial statements for 2016. Accordingly, the interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Group’s audited financial statements for 2016 which were prepared in accordance with Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises.

The financial statements are presented on a going concern basis.

Except for certain financial instruments and investment properties, the financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention. If the assets are impaired, corresponding provisions for impairment shall be made according to relevant provisions.

The specific accounting policies and accounting estimates have been prepared by the Group based on actual production and operation characteristics, as mainly embodied in the provision for bad debt of accounts receivable, inventory valuation methods, the useful lives and residual values of fixed assets, classification between investment properties and inventories, classification between investment properties and fixed assets, land appreciation tax, the recognition and allocation of development costs on properties under construction, etc.

The interim financial statements are in compliance with the requirements of Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises No. 32 – Interim Financial Reporting issued by the MOF, and truly and completely reflect the financial position of the Company and the Group as at 30 June 2017 and the results of operations and cash flow for the six months ended 30 June 2017. Save for change in accounting policy stated below, the accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the interim financial statements are consistent with those adopted in the financial statements for the previous year which were prepared in accordance with Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises.

Change in Accounting Policy

On May 2017, the MOF amended and issued Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises No. 16 – Government Grants. The above accounting standard has been implemented since 12 June 2017. For the purpose of these financial statements, the change in the above accounting standard, which led to the corresponding change in the accounting policy of the Company, has been addressed according to relevant regulations in the transition period. Pursuant to relevant regulations, since 1 January 2017, the Group has differentiated government grants included in the current profit or loss into government grants related to and not related to daily corporate activities based on the nature of the economic business, and separately listed the item of “Other gains” above the item of “Operating profit” in the income statement. Government grants related to daily corporate activities would be included in other gains or used to offset relevant cost and expenses, whereas government grants not related to daily corporate activities would be included in non-operating revenue and expenses. Such change in the accounting policy and the adjustment made to the verification of accounting items would have impact on the presentation of financial statements only but not the Group’s consolidated shareholders’ equity of the Company as at 30 June 2017 and consolidated net profit of the Company for the six months then ended.

2. OPERATING SEGMENT INFORMATION

Operating segments

For management purposes, the Group is organized into business units based on their products and services and has four reportable operating segments as follows:

  • (1) the cement and ready-mixed concrete segment engages in the manufacture and sale of cement and concrete;

  • (2) the modern building materials and commerce and logistics segment engages in the manufacture and sale of building materials and furniture and commerce and logistics;

  • (3) the property development segment engages in property development and sales; and

  • (4) the property investment and management segment invests in properties for their rental income potential and/or for capital appreciation, and provides management and security services to residential and commercial properties.

The management manages the results of each operating segment separately for the purpose of making decisions about resource allocation and performance assessment. Segment results are evaluated based on the profits of reportable segment. It represents the indicator after adjustments have been made to total profit, and other than the exclusion of overheads attributable to the headquarters, the indicator is consistent with the Group’s total profit.

Segment assets and liabilities exclude unallocated assets and liabilities attributable to headquarters as these assets and liabilities are under integrated management by the Group.

The prices for transfers between operating segments are determined with reference to the fair prices adopted for transactions with third parties and by negotiation between the parties.

CHAIRMAN’S STATEMENT

Dear shareholders,

On behalf of the Board, I am pleased to present to you the interim results of the Company for the six months ended 30 June 2017, and report on the operating results of the Company during the said period.

Review

During the first half of the year, the Company took active initiative to adapt to the “new normal” of economic development and responded to the complicated development landscape as well as emerging risks and challenges in an effective manner by adhering to the goals and missions determined at the beginning of the year. As a result, we saw stable and sound growth in the overall development of the Company. The quality of the economic operation continued to improve under the development trend of serving the capital city while economic structural adjustment made steady progress. Besides, the enhancing synergy brought by the restructuring of BBMG and Jidong Development Group, acceleration of green reform and the strengthening of fundamental management laid a solid foundation for achieving the full-year targets in full force.

During the Reporting Period, the Company recorded operating revenue of RMB29,465.8 million, representing a year-on-year increase of 25.7%; net profit attributable to the shareholders of the parent company amounted to RMB1,846.4 million, representing a year-on-year increase of 1.4%; basic earnings per share attributable to the shareholders of the parent company amounted to RMB0.17.

Prospects

In terms of the macro environment, the Chinese economy is currently in a critical period of replacing old energy with new one, as well as economic transformation and upgrade. There is no change in the fundamental situation of favorable economic development in the long run. Basic features such as strong economic resilience, great potential and ample room for maneuver also remained unchanged. From the point of view of industry background, capacity downsizing and structural adjustment have a long way to go, given the continuous and absolute excessive production capacity across the cement industry in China. The regulation on the real estate market as a whole demonstrated favorable results, however, the structural contradiction remained prominent and the differentiation among cities became more serious. Confronted by the abovementioned opportunities and challenges, the Company will develop major businesses including “cement and ready-mixed concrete, modern building materials and commerce and logistics, property development and property investment and management” in accordance with the capital’s positioning of functions by adhering to the development philosophy of “innovation, coordination, green, open and sharing”. In addition, it will take initiative in involving in the implementation of significant national policies, such as “One Belt and One Road”, the synergetic

development of Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei Province and the supply-side structural reform, as well as the construction of sub-town centre in Beijing and Xiongan New Area and the promotion of “functions transfer and improvement for enhancement”. The Company will be committed to enhancing the quality and efficiency of development with a focus on the high-end of industrial technologies and values, with a view to building development landscapes and industry positions which are competent to the scale of different industries.

High positioning and practical actions boost enterprise growth. On behalf of the Board, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to the shareholders and business partners of the Company for their support and assistance. I expect continued trust and support from the shareholders and business partners in our course of achieving a new round of leap-forward development for BBMG with relentless efforts.

POSSIBLE RISKS FACED BY THE COMPANY

1. Risks in Policies

The development of cement and property sectors is directly subject to macroeconomic development and macroeconomic control policies. Transformation and upgrade for sustainable development in accordance with supply-side structural reform requirements will become the main theme for cement companies, given the continuous excessive production capacity across the cement industry and the heightened control of governments over overcapacity and environmental pollution. Before the long-term mechanisms conducive to healthy development of the real estate industry become mature, regulatory policies for the real estate industry, especially at regional levels, will be further differentiated and diversified.

Solution: Leveraging fully on the advantages in scale, region and brand, the Company will sharpen its core competence and minimize the risks brought by macroeconomic policies through enhancing the interpretation, analysis and judgment of the national macroeconomic policies, actively adapting to the “new normal” in response to national policies, making use of market trends, cultivating a favourable market environment, keeping track of market movement, further raising the awareness in opportunity identification, synergy among industry segments and development and incrementally enhancing the abilities in institutional innovation, system innovation, technology innovation and management innovation.

2. Risks in Capital Operation

In 2017, the central bank will maintain a prudent monetary policy. The interest rate marketization revolution will be further accelerated. Since it is in the stage of rapid development, the Company will face certain level of financial pressures to maintain daily operations and meet the needs of future development.

  • 46 -

Solution: The Company will enhance its management on finance and capital and improve the efficiency of the use of capital. It will also innovate our financing channels with a view to ensuring the safety and stability of the capital chain of the Company. Leveraging the advantages of the finance company and finance lease company, cash flow of the Company will be secured as a whole.

3. Risks in Market Competition

In 2016, the Company conducted a strategic restructuring with Jidong Development Group successfully, which has further improved the order of the regional market where the cement segment of the Company operates. However, as there is an excess of capacity in the region as a whole, the current demand and supply is still facing with imbalance and fierce price competition exists among enterprises, with concentration in need of further improvement, which constrains and impedes the profitability of the cement segment of the Company.

Solution: Adhering to the principal business of cement, the Company will improve the regional market integration to expand its regional market share. Meanwhile, the Company will intensify internal management and continue to boost its market competitiveness by accelerating transformation and upgrading, enhancing technology research and development and innovation, tweaking equipment and technologies, saving energy and reducing consumption and lowering production costs.

  • Note 1: Certain customers of the Group have purchased the commodity housing developed by the Group by way of bank mortgage (secured loans). According to the bank requirement in respect of the secured loans of the individual purchase of housing, the Group has provided guarantees to secure the periodical and joint obligation of such secured loans granted by banks for home buyers. These guarantees will be released upon obtaining building ownership certificates and completion of formalities of mortgage by the home buyers. The management is of the opinion that in the event of default in payments, the net realizable value of the relevant properties is sufficient to cover the outstanding mortgage principals together with the accrued interests and penalties, and therefore no provision for the guarantees has been made in the financial statements.

  • Note 2: As at 30 June 2017, Jidong Development Group, a subsidiary of the Group, provided guarantees on the borrowings of RMB2,220,000,000.00 and the borrowings of RMB2,374,000,000.00 for Tangshan Nanhu Eco-City Development and Construction Investment Co., Ltd. (唐山市南湖生態城開發建設 投資有限責任公司) and Tangshan Construction Investment Co., Ltd. (唐山建設投資有限責任公司), respectively. The guarantees will expire on 21 May 2029 and 20 April 2018, respectively.

As at 30 June 2017, the Group had 49,779 employees in total (as at 31 December 2016: 49,721). During the Reporting Period, the aggregate remuneration of the Group’s employees (including Directors’ remuneration) amounted to approximately RMB1,556.9 million (for the six months ended 30 June 2016: RMB902.0 million), representing an increase of approximately 72.6%. As compared with the first half of 2016, the aggregate remuneration of employees recorded a significant increase, which was mainly attributable to the completion of the restructuring with Jidong Development Group in the second half of 2016. The Group provides its employees in the PRC with retirement insurance, medical insurance, unemployment insurance, maternity insurance and industrial injury insurance as well as a housing provident fund pursuant to PRC laws and regulations.

FOREIGN EXCHANGE RISK MANAGEMENT

The Group mainly operates its business in the PRC. During the Reporting Period, sales proceeds and procurement expenses of the Group were mainly denominated in RMB. Most of the Group’s financial instruments such as accounts and bills receivables, cash and bank balances are denominated in the same currency or a currency that is pegged to the functional currency of the operations to which the transactions are related. Accordingly, it is believed that the Group has minimal foreign exchange risks. The Group has not used any forward contract or currency borrowing to hedge its interest rate risks. Fluctuations of the exchange rates of foreign currencies did not constitute any material challenges to the Group or have any significant effects on its operations or working capital during the Reporting Period. However, the management will continue to monitor foreign exchange risks and adopt prudent measures as appropriate.

TREASURY POLICIES

The Group adopts conservative treasury policies and controls tightly its cash and risk management. The Group’s cash and bank balances are held mainly in RMB. Surplus cash is generally placed in short term deposits denominated in RMB.
