NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST DECEMBER 2002
1. CORPORATE INFORMATION
Livzon Pharmaceutical Group Inc. (the “Company”) is a joint stock company registered in the
People’s Republic of China (the “PRC”) and its A shares and B shares are listed on the Shenzhen
Stock Exchange. The Company and its subsidiaries (together referred to as the “Group”) are
principally engaged in the production and sales of medical products and the trading of imported
medical products in the PRC.
The largest shareholder of the Company is Shenzhen Tai Tai Pharmaceutical Group Inc. Limited,
a limited company incorporated in PRC and listed in Shenzhen Stock Exchange
2. PRESENTATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in Renminbi (“RMB”), the currency
in which the majority of the Group’s transactions are denominated.
The Group maintains its accounting records and prepares its statutory financial statements in
accordance with the accounting principles and the relevant financial regulations applicable to foreign
investment enterprises in the PRC.
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International
Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”). The accounting policies and basis adopted to the preparation
of the statutory financial statements differ in certain respects from IFRS. The differences arising from
the restatement of the results of operations and the net assets for compliance with IFRS are adjusted
in financial statements but will not be taken up in the accounting records of the Group.
3. CHANGE OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND PRIOR YEAR ADJUSTMENT
In the current year, the Group changed the accounting policy to the depreciation on property,
plant and equipment. The new policy requires the property, plant and equipment, which has
purchased but not yet used or those temporarily retired, are to be depreciated on the same basis as
other assets in used. In previous years, no depreciation charge is provided for these assets. The
new policy has been applied retrospectively. In the opinion of the Group’s management, the
adoption of the new policy can reflect the value of the Group’s asset more effectively. The adoption
of the new policy resulted in the decrease in accumulated profits, net of minonty interests, as at 1st
January 2001 by RMB2,107,000 and the net profit for 2001 by RMB976,000.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST DECEMBER 2002
4. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Except for certain financial instruments which are stated at their fair value, the financial
statements have been prepared on the historical basis. The principal accounting policies adopted are
set out below:
(a) Basis of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements incorporate the financial statements of the Company
and enterprises controlled by the Company (“its subsidiaries”) made up to 31st December each
year. Control is achieved where the Company has the power to govern its financial and
operating policies of an investee enterprise so as to obtain benefits from its activities.
On acquisition of subsidiaries, the assets and liabilities are stated at the fair value at the
date of acquisition. The interest of minority shareholders is stated at the minority’s proportion
of the fair values of the assets and liabilities recognised.
The results of subsidiaries acquired or disposed of during the year are included in the
consolidated income statement from the effective date of acquisition or up to the effective date
of disposal, as appropriate.
Where necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries to bring
the accounting policies used into line with those used by other members of the Group.
All significant intercompany transactions and balances between group enterprises are
eliminated on consolidation.
(b) Investments in associates
An associate is an enterprise over which the Group is in a position to exercise significant
influence, but not control, through participation in the financial and operating policy decisions
of the investee.
The operating results assets and liabilities of associates are incorporated in these financial
statements using the equity method of accounting. Investments in associates are carried in the
balance sheet at cost as adjusted by post-acquisition changes in the Group’s share of the net
assets of the associate, less any impairment in the value of individual investments.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST DECEMBER 2002
4. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - Continued
(b) Investments in associates - continued
Where a group enterprise transacts with an associate of the Group, unrealised profits and
losses are eliminated to the extent of the Group’s interest in the relevant associate, except to the
extent that unrealised losses provide evidence of an impairment of the asset transferred.
(c) Goodwill
Goodwill arising on consolidation represents the excess of the cost of acquisition over the
Group’s interest in the fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities of a subsidiary or
associate at the date of acquisition. Goodwill is recognized as an asset and amortised on a
straight-line basis over its estimated useful life.
Goodwill arising on the acquisition of an associate is included within the carrying amount
of the associate. Goodwill arising on the acquisition of subsidiaries is presented separately in
the balance sheet.
On disposal of a subsidiary or an associate, the attributable amount of unamortised
goodwill is included in the determination of the profit or loss on disposal.
(d) Negative goodwill
Negative goodwill represents the excess of the Group’s interest in the fair value of the
identifiable assets and liabilities of a subsidiary or associate at the date of acquisition over the
cost of acquisition. Negative goodwill is released to income based on an analysis of the
circumstances from which the balance resulted. To the extent that the negative goodwill is
attributable to losses or expenses anticipated at the date of acquisition, it is released to income
in the period in which those losses or expenses arise. The remaining negative goodwill is
recognised as income on a straight-line basis over the remaining average useful life of the
identifiable acquired depreciable assets. To the extent that such negative goodwill exceeds the
aggregate fair value of the acquired identifiable non-monetary assets, it is recognised as income
immediately.
Negative goodwill arising on the acquisition of an associate is deducted from the carrying
amount of that associate. Negative goodwill arising on the acquisition of subsidiaries is
presented separately in the balance sheet as a deduction from assets.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST DECEMBER 2002
4. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued
(e) Revenue recognition
Sales of goods are recognised when goods are delivered and title has passed.
Interest income is accrued on a time basis, by reference to the principal outstanding and
at the interest rate applicable.
Dividend income from investments is recognised when the shareholders’ rights to receive
payment have been established.
(f) Foreign currencies
Transactions in currencies other than RMB are initially recorded at the rates of exchange
prevailing on the dates of the transactions. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in such
currencies are re-translated at the rates prevailing on the balance sheet date. Profits and losses
arising on exchange are included in net profit or loss for the year.
On consolidation, the assets and liabilities of the Group’s overseas operations are
translated at exchange rates prevailing on the balance sheet date. Income and expense items are
translated at the average exchange rates for the year. Exchange differences arising, if any, are
classified as equity and transferred to the Group’s translation reserve. Such translation
differences are recognised as income or as expenses in the year in which the operation is
disposed of.
Goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on the acquisition of a foreign entity are
treated as assets and liabilities of the foreign entity and translated at the closing rate.
(g) Borrowing costs
Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of
qualifying assets, which are assets that necessarily take a substantial period of time to get ready
for their intended use or sale, are added to the cost of those assets, until such time as the assets
are substantially ready for their intended use or sale. Investment income earned on the
temporary investment of specific borrowings pending their expenditure on qualifying assets is
deducted from borrowing costs eligible for capitalisation.
All other borrowing costs are recognised as expenses in the period in which they are
incurred.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST DECEMBER 2002
4. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued
(h) Retirement benefit costs
Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit plans are charged as an expense as
they fall due. Payments made to state-managed retirement benefit schemes are dealt with as
payments to defined contribution plans where the Group’s obligations under the schemes are
equivalent to those arising in a defined contribution retirement benefit plan
(i) Government grants
Government grants subsidizing the Group’s research project are recognised as income
when the relevant cost incurred.
Government grants subsidizing the purchase of assets are deducting from the purchase
cost of such asset.
(j) Taxation
Income tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax
The tax currently payable is based on taxable profit for the year. Taxable profit differs
from net profit as reported in the income statement because it excludes items of income or
expense that are taxable or deductible in other years and it further excludes items that are never
taxable or deductible. The Group’s liability for current tax is calculated using tax rates that
have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date
Deferred tax is the tax expected to be payable or recoverable on differences between the
carrying amount of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the corresponding tax
basis used in the computation of taxable profit, and is accounted for using the balance sheet
liability method. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised for all taxable temporary
differences and deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that taxable
profits will be available against which deductible temporary differences can be utilised. Such
assets and liabilities are not recognised if the temporary difference arises from goodwill (or
negative goodwill) or from the initial recognition (other than in a business combination )of other
assets and liabilities in a transaction that affects neither the tax profit nor the accounting profit.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST DECEMBER 2002
4. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued
(j) Taxation - continued
Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for taxable temporary differences arising on
investments in subsidiaries and associates except where the Group is able to control the reversal
of the temporary difference and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in
the foreseeable future.
The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each balance sheet date and
reduced to the extent that it is no larger probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available
to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered.
Deferred tax is calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period when the
liability is settled or the asset is realised. Deferred tax is charged or credited in the income
statement, except when it relates to items charged or credited directly to equity, in which case
the deferred tax is also dealt with in equity.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when they relate to income taxes levied by the
same taxation authority and the Group intends to settle its current tax assets and liabilities on a
net basis.
(k) Property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and any
recognised impairment loss.
Depreciation is charged so as to write off the cost of assets over their estimated useful
lives, using the straight-line method, on the following bases :
Buildings 5%
Machinery 10%
Electronic equipment 20%
Transport equipment 20%
Other equipment 20%
The gain or loss arising from disposal or retirement of an asset is determined as
the difference between the sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and
is recognised in the income statement.

4. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
(l) Construction in progress
Construction in progress represents properties under construction for production, rental or
administrative purposes, or for purposes not yet determined and equipment purchased prior to
installation and is stated at cost less any recognised impairment loss. Cost comprises direct
costs and, where applicable, professional fees and borrowing costs capitalised in accordance
with the Group’s accounting policy. Costs on completed construction works are transferred to
the appropriate asset category. Costs incurred on construction in progress are recognised as an
expense immediately when the work is terminated.
No depreciation is provided on construction in progress until it is completed and put into
commercial operation
(m) Intangible assets - research and development expenditure
Expenditure on research activities is recognised as an expense in the year in which it is
incurred.
Development expenditure arising from the Group’s development is recognised as an asset
only if all of the following conditions are met:
·an asset is created that can be identified;
·it is probable that the asset created will generate future economic benefits; and
·the development cost of the asset can be measured reliably.
Otherwise, development expenditure is recognized as an expense in the year in which it is
incurred. The development expenditure recognised as an assets are amortised on a
straight-line basis over their useful lives.
(n) Impairment
At each balance sheet date, the Group reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible and
intangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an
impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated
in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss. Where it is not possible to estimate the
recoverable amount of an individual asset, the Group estimates the recoverable amount of the
cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.

LIVZON PHARMACEUTICAL GROUP INC.
麗珠醫藥集團股份有限公司
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST DECEMBER 2002
4. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued
(n) Impairment - continued
Recoverable amount is the greater of net selling price and value in use. In assessing the
value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a
pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessment of the time value of money and the
risks specific to the assets.
If the recoverable amount of an asset (or cash-generating unit) is estimated to be less than
its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset (cash-generating unit) is reduced to its
recoverable amount. Impairment losses are recognised as an expense immediately.
Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset
(cash-generating unit) is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but so that
the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been
determined as no impairment loss had been recognised for the asset (cash-generating unit) in
prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognised as income immediately.
(o) Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost comprises direct
materials and, where applicable, direct labour costs and those overheads that have been incurred
in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition. Cost is calculated using the
weighted average method. Net realisable value represents the estimated selling prices less all
estimated costs to completion and costs to be incurred in marketing, selling and distribution.
(p) Financial instruments
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised on the Group’s balance sheet when
the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
(i) Trade receivables
Trade receivables are stated at their nominal value as reduced by appropriate
allowances for estimated irrecoverable amounts.

(p) Financial instruments - continued
(ii) Investments
Investments are recognised on a trade-date basis and are initially measured at cost.
Investments other than held-to-maturity debt securities are classified as either
held-for-trading or available-for-sale, and are measured at subsequent reporting dates at
fair value. Where securities are held for trading purposes, gains and losses arising from
changes in fair value are included in net profit or loss for the period. For
available-for-sale investments, gains and losses arising from changes in fair value are
recognised directly in equity, until the security is disposed of or is determined to be
impaired, at which time the cumulative gain or loss previously recognised in equity is
included in the net profit or loss for the period.
(iii) Bank borrowings
Interest-bearing bank loans and overdrafts are recorded at the proceeds received, net
of direct issue costs. Finance charges, including premiums payable on settlement or
redemption, are accounted for on an accrual basis and are added to the carrying amount of
the instrument to the extent that they are not settled in the period in which they arise.
(iv) Trade payables
Trade payables are stated at their nominal value.
(q) Provisions
Provisions are recognised when the Group has a present obligation as a result of a past
event which it is probable will result in an outflow of economic benefits that can be reasonably
estimated.
(r) Cash equivalents
Cash equivalents represent short-term, highly liquid investments that are readily
convertible to a known amount of cash and subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.
