The company has received the programs for investment of E-commerce since this
resolution was passed in the last Shareholders General Meeting. However, it is found that the
actual result of this program is not so good even with so much investment. meanwhile, we
found that some enterprises already making investment in E-commerce have not achieved the
satisfactory results. Therefore, the Board of Directors thought it is better to deal with concrete
matters right now, and to think about it when both the opportunity and the conditions become
matured.
The resolution on developing the spark plug products for igniters of motor vehicles by
investment was passed in the Shareholders’ General Meeting held last year. It is because that
the company was negotiating with an enterprise for spark plug products about the acquisition
of its production workshops and imported equipment, to make the renovation and production
on the spot. However, the acquisition failed after many times of negotiations. In such
circumstance, if the company sets up the workshop and imports the equipment for production,
the investment will be much more, and the investment recovery period will be much longer. So,
the Shareholders’ General Meeting decided to cease the execution of this resolution.

more lawbreaking merchants, making our sales more difficult, and seriously affecting our
market sales. Thirdly, because of the rise of prices of fuels, energies and some major materials,
the product cost has increased. And, also because the supply of electro-optical products in the

more violent. Facing such difficulties, all staff in the company have united together, smoothed
away the difficulties, and made all efforts for development and advancing. The settlements
include: 1. To greatly develop technical innovation, improve the process and production
efficiency, reduce the staff and promote the efficiency at the same time, and reduce the

(IV) Business plan in the new year.
(1) To speed up the plan and construction of land newly purchased, and continue to
expand the production scale. Under the support of the municipal government, the company has
purchased 3 hectares of lands from the transformer plant and Dunhou Village last year, and will
make the plan and transformation of such land this year. After completing the construction of
the factory building, it will further introduce six T8 production lines, regulate and move the
workshops concerned, and expand the production. It will expand the production scale for T8,
T5 energy saving lamps, automotive lamps and luminaire, fasten the development, continue to
enlarge the production scale, and occupy the dominant position in market competition.
(2) Make technical innovation and new product development. The new product
development shall be a new growth point for profits of the company, as well as the basic
condition for enterprise development. In the new year, the company will speed up the technical
innovation, and develop new varieties and new models for fluorescent lamps, fine-caliber
energy-saving lamps and luminaire, to suite the demand on the market. Meanwhile, it will
strengthen the quality control, constantly improve the equipment and production technology,
and steadily promote the production quality.
(3) Strengthen the cost control, and improve the market competitive power of products.
The company will further perfect and carry out the arrangement for production material
consumption, personnel quota, piecework plan and saving plan. It shall control the raw
material cost, reuse the cracked glass powder to reduce the loss. It shall also improve the
energy-consuming equipment by setting up the pressure air auxiliary system, transforming the
press, and reforming and introducing the petroleum gas system, and strengthen the energy
equipment and technology, to reduce the consuming costs of water, electricity, fuel and gas.
(4) Promote the sales of products. The company will promote the sales by all kinds of
measures. First of all, it will develop the secondary market and rural market, and expand the
coverage for sales. Secondly, it shall mobilize the activity of dealers, and develop the
potentiality of distributors, to guarantee the successful sales of products. Thirdly, the company
will broadly promote the brand image of the company by all channels, attend the national
lighting exhibitions, to exhibit and publicize the product and image of the company, and
promote the sales. While developing the domestic market, it will also export more products
and earn more foreign exchanges by making full use of the superior conditions with the
accession to WTO.
(5) Train and educate the staff members, and fully mobilize their activity in production.
The company will arrange more training for its employees, and improve their professional
23
23
knowledge, safety awareness and operation skills by training. It will carry out the labor
competition for employees, appoint the experts as the evaluators, and implement the system of
rewards. Considerably arrange the jobs of staff members based on the need of production,
and mobilize their activities in production, to promote the development of productivity.
(V) Influence by the China’s accession to WTO
After the accession to WTO, the imported electro-optical products may increase, but
will not increase too much due to their high prices. As the electro-optical products produced at
home have complete varieties and competitive advantages in price, import products will take a
small part, having little influence to the electro-optical industry. However, the accession to
WTO will have both and advantage and disadvantage to the company. The advantage is that
because our company has constantly improved our quality, and has quite complete product
varieties and a certain competitive force, it will possibly further expand the exportation based
on the good achievements in export during the past years, relieving the situation of domestic
products with supply exceeding the supply. The disadvantage is that after the accession to
WTO, because the import duties have reduce, more optical products with special purposes
abroad will enter into the Chinese market, adversely affecting the company producing the same
kinds of products.
The antidumping implemented by EU to energy-saving lamps with electronic ballast
exported from China has no affection to our product exportation at all.
(VI) Routine operation of the Board of Directors.

1. Significant accounting policies
Foshan Electrical and Lighting Company Limited (the “Company”) is a company
domiciled in the People’s Republic of China (“PRC”). The consolidated financial statements
of the Company for the year ended 31 December 2001 comprise the Company and its
subsidiaries (together referred to as the “Group”) and the Group’s interest in associate.
(1) Statement of compliance: the consolidated financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with the International Accounting Standards (“IAS”) adopted by the International
Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) and interpretations issued by the Standing
Interpretations Committee of the IASB.
(2) Basis of preparation: the consolidated financial statements are prepared on the
historical cost basis except that certain property, plant and equipment were stated at their
revalued amount and investments held for trading and investments available-for-sale were
stated at their fair value.
The accounting policies have been consistently applied by Group enterprises and, except
for the change in accounting policy, are consistent with those adopted in the previous year.
(3) Basis of consolidation
l Subsidiaries: subsidiaries are those enterprises controlled by the Company.
Control exists when the Company has the power, directly or indirectly, to govern the
financial and operating policies of an enterprise so as to obtain benefits from its
activities. The financial statements of subsidiaries are included in the consolidated
financial statements from the date that control effectively commences until the date
that control ceases.
l Associate: associate is an enterprise in which the Group has significant influence, but
not control, over the financial and operating policies. The consolidated financial
statements include the Group’s share of the total recognised gains and losses of the
associate on an equity accounted basis, from the date that significant influence
commences until the date that significant influence ceases. When the Group’s
share of losses exceeds the carrying amount of the associate, the carrying amount is
reduced to nil and recognition of further losses is discontinued except to the extent
that the Group has incurred obligations in respect of the associate.
l Transactions eliminated on consolidation: intra-group balances and transactions, and
any realised gains arising from intra-group transactions, are eliminated in preparing
the consolidated financial statements. Unrealised gains arising from transactions
with the associate are eliminated, to the extent of the Group’s interest in the
enterprise, against the investment in the associate. Unrealised losses are eliminated
in the same way as unrealised gains, but only to the extent that there is no evidence
of impairment.
(4) Translation of foreign currencies: transactions in foreign currencies are translated to
Renminbi Yuan at the foreign exchange rate ruling at the date of the transaction. Monetary
assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the balance sheet date are translated
into Renminbi Yuan at the foreign exchange rates ruling at that date. Foreign exchange
differences arising on translation are recognised in the income statement.
(5) Property, plant and equipment:
36
36
l Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost or valuation less accumulated
depreciation and impairment losses. Revaluation is performed periodically to
ensure that the carrying amount does not differ materially from that which would be
determined using fair value at the balance sheet date. The cost of property, plant
and equipment constructed by the Group includes the cost of materials, direct labour
and an appropriate proportion of fixed and variable overheads.
l Subsequent expenditure is capitalised only when it increases the future economic
benefits embodied in the item of property, plant and equipment. All other
expenditure is recognised in the income statement as an expense as incurred.
l Depreciation is charged to the income statement on a straight-line basis over the
estimated useful lives, after taking into account their estimated residual values, of
items of property, plant and equipment.
The estimated useful lives are as follows:
Buildings 20 to 30 years
Plant and machinery 3 to 28 years
Furniture, fixtures and office equipment 3 to 14 years
Motor vehicles 3 to 12 years
Assets are depreciated or amortised from the date of acquisition or, in respect of internally
constructed assets, from the time an asset is completed and ready for its intended use. No
depreciation is provided in respect of construction in progress.
(6) Intangible assets
l Land use rights: land use rights are stated at cost less accumulated amortisation and
impairment losses. Amortisation is charged to income statement on a straight-line
basis over the unexpired term of the grant.
l Goodwill: goodwill arising on an acquisition represents the excess of the cost of the
acquisition over the fair value of the net identifiable assets acquired. Goodwill is
stated at cost less accumulated amortisation and impairment losses. In respect of
the associate, the carrying amount of goodwill is included in the carrying amount of
the investment in associate. Amortisation is charged to the income statement on a
straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of 10 years.
(7) Construction in progress: construction in progress represents properties under
construction and equipment purchased prior to installation, which includes construction and
acquisition costs, less impairment losses. Capitalisation of these costs ceases and the
construction in progress is transferred to fixed assets when substantially all the activities
necessary to prepare the assets for their intended use are completed. No depreciation is
provided in respect of construction in progress until it is completed and ready for its intended
use.
(8) Investments:
l Listed investments held for trading are classified as current assets and are stated at
fair value, with any resultant gain or loss recognised in the income statement. Other
unlisted investments held by the Group are classified as being available-for-sale and
37
37
are stated at cost, less provision for diminution in value which is other than temporary
as determined by the directors for each investment individually.
l The fair value of investments held for trading is their quoted bid price at the balance
sheet date.
l Investments held for trading and available-for-sale investments are recognised/
derecognised by the Group on the date it commits to purchase/sell the investments.
On derecognition, the difference between the net proceeds received or receivable
and the carrying amount of the investments are accounted for in the income
statement.
(9) Inventories:
l Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Net realisable
value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the
estimated costs of completion and selling expenses.
l The cost of inventories is based on the weighted average principle and includes
expenditure incurred in acquiring the inventories and bringing them to their existing
location and condition. In the case of manufactured inventories and work in
progress, cost includes an appropriate share of overheads based on normal
operating capacity.
(10) Trade and other receivables: trade and other receivables are stated at their cost less
write down for any amounts expected to be irrecoverable.
(11) Cash and cash equivalents: cash and cash equivalents comprise cash balances and
deposits with banks and other financial institutions, maturing within three months.
(12) Impairment:
The carrying amounts of the Group’s assets, other than inventories, deferred tax assets
and financial assets, are reviewed at each balance sheet date to determine whether there is any
indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, the asset’s recoverable amount is
estimated. An impairment loss is recognised whenever the carrying amount of an asset or its
cash-generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount. Impairment losses are recognised in the
income statement.
38
38
l Calculation of recoverable amount:
The recoverable amount of assets is the greater of their net selling price 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. For an asset that does not generate largely
independent cash inflows, the recoverable amount is determined for the cash-generating unit to
which the asset belongs.
l Reversals of impairment:
An impairment loss in respect of goodwill is not reversed unless the loss was caused by a
specific external event of an exceptional nature that is not expected to recur, and the increase
in recoverable amount relates clearly to the reversal of the effect of that specific event.
In respect of other assets, an impairment loss is reversed if there has been a change in the
estimates used to determine the recoverable amount.
An impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the asset’s carrying amount does
not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation or
amortisation, if an impairment loss had been recognised.
(13) Provisions: a provision is recognised in the balance sheet when the Group has a legal
or constructive obligation as a result of a past event, and it is probable that an outflow of
economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation.
(14) Trade and other payables: trade and other payables are stated at their cost.
(15) Dividends: dividends are recognised as a liability in the period in which they are
declared.
(16) Income tax:
l Income tax on the profit or loss for the year comprises current and deferred tax.
Income tax is recognised in the income statement except to the extent that it relates
to items recognised directly to equity, in which case it is recognised in equity. Current
tax is the expected tax payable on the taxable income for the year, using tax rates
enacted or substantially enacted at the balance sheet date, and any adjustment of tax
payable for previous years.
l Deferred tax is provided using the balance sheet liability method on all temporary
differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial
reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes. The following
temporary differences are not provided for: goodwill not deductible for tax purposes
and the initial recognition of assets or liabilities which affect neither accounting nor
taxable profit, and the differences relating to investments in subsidiaries to the extent
that they will probably not reversed in the foreseeable future. The amount of
deferred tax provided is based on the expected manner of realisation or settlement of
the carrying amount of assets and liabilities, using tax rates enacted or substantially
enacted at the balance sheet date.
39
39
l A deferred tax asset is recognised only to the extent that it is probable that future
taxable profits will be available against which the asset can be utilised. Deferred tax
assets are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax
benefit will be realised.
(17) Revenue recognition
l In relation to the sale of goods, revenue is recognised when the significant risks and
rewards of ownership have been transferred to the buyer, and no significant
uncertainties remain regarding recovery of the consideration due, associated costs or
the possible return of goods.
l Dividend income is accounted for when the shareholder’s right to receive payment is
established.
l Interest income from bank deposits is accrued on a time-apportioned basis on the
principal outstanding and at the rate applicable.
(18) Operating lease payments: payments made under operating leases are recognised in
the income statement on a straight-line basis over the terms of the respective leases.
(19) Employee benefits: contributions to defined contribution retirement schemes are
recognised as an expense in the income statement as incurred.
2 Revenue

Valuation: as required by the relevant PRC rules and regulations, the assets and liabilities
of the Company were revalued at 30 April 1993 by Guangzhou Assets Appraisal Corporation
using the depreciated replacement cost method prior to the listing of the Company’s A shares
on the Shenzhen Stock Exchange. The surplus on revaluation was taken directly to
revaluation surplus.
In accordance with IAS 16, subsequent to this revaluation, which was based on
depreciated replacement costs, property, plant and equipment are carried at revalued amount,
being the fair value at the date of the revaluation less any subsequent accumulated depreciation
and impairment losses. Revaluation is performed periodically to ensure that the carrying
amount does not differ materially from that which would be determined using fair value at the
balance sheet date. Based on a revaluation performed as of 31 December 2001, which was
based on depreciated replacement costs, the carrying value of property, plant and equipment
did not differ materially from their fair value.
Impairment: due to technological change, certain machinery, mainly for the production of
general lighting service lamp, became idle during the year. After assessing the recoverable
amount of such machinery and its related buildings and motor vehicles, impairment losses of
RMB6,541,558 were made.

property, plant and equipment at 30 April 1993 and is not distributable.
l Statutory surplus reserve: according to the current PRC Company Law and the
Company’s articles of association, the Company is required to transfer 10% of its
profit after taxation to statutory surplus reserve until the surplus reserve balance
reaches 50% of the registered capital. For the purpose of calculating the transfer to
reserve, the profit after taxation shall be the amount determined under PRC
accounting standards. The transfer to this reserve has to be made before
distribution of dividend to shareholders.
Statutory surplus reserve can be used to make good previous years’ losses, if any, and
for capitalisation issue provided that the balance after such issue is not less than 25% of the
registered capital.

Company’s articles of association, the Company is required to transfer 5% to 15%
(at the discretion of the Board of Directors) of its profit after taxation to its statutory
staff welfare reserve. The statutory staff welfare reserve can only be used for the
collective benefits of the Company’s employees such as the construction of
dormitories, canteen and other staff welfare facilities. The reserve forms part of the
shareholders’ equity as individual employees can only use these facilities, the title of
which will remain with the Company. The transfer to this reserve must be made
before distribution of dividend to shareholders. The Directors have resolved to
transfer 5% (2000: 5%) of the current year’s profit to this reserve on 27 February
2002.

22 Financial instruments and concentration of risks
Financial assets of the Group principally include cash and cash equivalents, trade and
other receivables, and investments. Financial liabilities of the Group principally include trade
and other payables. Accounting policies for financial assets and liabilities are set out in note 1.
l Credit risk: credit risk represents the accounting loss that would be recognised at the
reporting date if counterparties failed to perform completely as contracted. The
Group does not have significant exposure to any individual customer or counterparty.
To reduce exposure to credit risk, the Group performs ongoing credit evaluations of
the financial condition of its customers but generally does not require collateral. The
Group deposits substantially all the cash and cash equivalents with the four largest
state-owned banks of the PRC. The Group is exposed to credit-related losses in the
event of non-performance by counterparties to financial instruments but, based on
the Group’s credit assessment and the past repayment records of the counterparties,
management does not expect any material counterparty to fail to meet its obligations.
At balance sheet date there were no significant concentrations of credit risk. The
maximum exposure to credit risk is represented by the carrying amount of each financial asset
in the balance sheet.
l Foreign currency risk: the Group incurs foreign currency risk on certain trade
receivables of RMB27,351,991 (2000: RMB29,825,887) and cash and cash
equivalents of RMB37,701,271 (2000: RMB32,267,198) that are denominated in
United States dollars. Fluctuation of the exchange rate of United States dollars
against Renminbi Yuan will affect the Group’s financial position and results of
operations.
l Fair value: the carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, trade and other
receivables, trade and other payables approximate fair value due to the short-term
nature of these instruments.
The fair values of the Group’s listed equity investments are estimated by referring to the
market prices obtained from the relevant stock exchanges.
There are no quoted market prices for unlisted equity investments. Accordingly, a
reasonable estimate of fair value could not be made without incurring excessive costs.
However, provision for diminution in value of RMB8,850,000 (2000: RMB7,750,000) was
made at 31 December 2001.
23 Commitments
l Capital expenditure commitments: as at 31 December 2001, the Group had capital
expenditure commitments authorised and contracted for but not provided for in the
financial statements amounting to approximately RMB48,471,000 (2000:
RMB24,614,000).

l Operating lease payments: minimum lease payments under non-cancellable operating
leases in respect of properties are payable as follows:

The Group leases a number of factory facilities under operating leases. The leases typically
run for an initial period of thirty years, with an option to renew the lease after that date. Fixed
annual lease payments are payable over the lease terms.
During the year ended 31 December 2001, RMB3,129,200 was recognised as an expense in the
income statement in respect of operating leases (2000: RMB4,109,300).
24 Earnings per share
l Basic earnings per share: the calculation of basic earnings per share at 31 December
2001 was based on the profit after taxation of RMB189,354,006 (2000:
RMB180,128,651) and the weighted average of 358,448,259 shares (2000:
