Chapter VII Report of the Board of Directors
I. Management Discussion and Analysis
1. Operating Results
JMC’s core business is production and sales of light vehicles and related components. Its
major products include JMC series light truck and pickup, and Transit series commercial
vehicles. The Company also produces engines, casting and other components.
In 2006, JMC sales volume attained a record of 85,214 units including 32,936 JMC series
light trucks, 881 Yunba microbuses, 24,917 pickups, 3,543 Baowei SUV and 22,937 Ford
Transit series commercial vehicles. Total sales volume was up 16% from last year. Total
production volume was 84,121 units, including 32,919 light trucks, 813 Yunba microbuses,
23,989 pickups, 3,336 Baowei SUV, and 23,064 Transits.
The Company’s sales increase is primarily explained by industry increases and new model
introduction. Transit sales volume increased by 25% compared with last year, Light Truck
sales were higher by 19% and Pickup sales were higher by 13%.
In 2006, the Company achieved a share of about 1.2% of the Chinese automotive market,
decreasing by 0.1 percentage point compared with last year. (In 2006, the Company
achieved a share of about 2.9% of the Chinese commercial automotive market, increasing
by 0.1 percentage point from last year.) JMC light trucks (including pickup) accounted for
6.0% of the light truck market, up about 0.2 percentage points above 2005 level. Transit,
along with the JMC brand Yunba microbus, achieved about 12% of the light bus market,
about 1.3 percentage points higher than last year. (Data source for above analysis: China

4. Operational Challenges and Resolutions
In 2006, the Company continued to face competitive challenges with new product entries
and intensifying cost pressures. In the mean time, the Company focused on initiating new
product development and expanding production capacity.
Regarding competition, the Company continued to experience market share pressure from
lower-priced competitors in all its segments. In response, the Company introduced new
Transit and Pickup models in the Fourth Quarter of 2005. Additionally, we lowered prices
for Baowei SUV models in January and for Pickup models in June. The Company also
accelerated launch of Transit brand-specific stores to provide sales focus and enhance
customer purchase experience. As a result, Transit sales grew by 25%, and Light Truck
sales were higher by 19%, both reflecting a higher segment share than 2005. Pickup sales
were higher by 13%, but segment share declined due to the increasing competition and new
entrants in this segment.
In the area of cost management, the Company continues to deal with higher raw material
price and cost associated with increased regulatory requirements. To maintain acceptable
22
profit margin, the Company placed high priority on cost management and continued to
establish dedicated teams to lead vigorous cost reduction and waste elimination activities
throughout the entire enterprise. We also moved upstream in the product development
process to reduce costs during the design stage, in addition to tightening cost control on
models currently in production and daily operating expenses.
The company anticipates continued market pressures including competitive price reduction,
government policy revision, more stringent regulatory requirements and new vehicle
entries in selected market segments.
The Company's management remains focused on (1) leveraging existing product platforms
to generate new revenue streams, (2) introducing new products, and (3) capacity expansion
actions. The Company continues to execute the three major product projects approved in
the fourth quarter of 2005 with the support of our technology partners. These programs are
the V348 project (the next generation commercial vehicle product with technology
provided by Ford), the N900 project (the next generation truck product which is developed
independently), and the JX4D24 engine manufacturing project in support of localization as
well as to meet future regulatory requirements. Additionally, the V128 project which
distribute homologated imported Ford E-series models in the China market was approved
in July 2006. The Board also approved the N350 project (a next generation independently
developed pickup product) in December 2006. These actions will introduce competitive
and profitable products into the light commercial vehicle market as soon as possible. A new
paint shop was launched at the end of 2006. A frame plant press line capacity project and a
C3 press line capacity project were approved by the Board of Directors in July 2006 and
September 2006 respectively. These manufacturing actions are aimed at supporting the
Company’s present volume growth and increased volume associated with new products.
Finally, the company is continuing efforts to ensure sustainable growth, including studying
project opportunities for adding incremental products and has established a team to expand
profitable export and OEM sales.
5. Investment in the reporting period
(1) In 2006, JMC did not raise equity funding, nor did it use equity funding raised in
previous years.

6. Financial Results
Revenue in 2006 was RMB 7,369 million, up 17% from year ago. This increase primarily
reflected higher vehicle sales volume, partially offset by price reduction.
Under International Financial Reporting Standards, net profit was RMB 623 million, up
27% from last year’s level. Higher profit derived from volume increases and cost
reductions was partially offset by price reduction and cost increases driven by regulatory
actions. Distribution costs increased by RMB 135 million, up 38% from last year, primarily
reflecting volume-related changes including vehicle delivery costs, warranty, promotion
expenses and advertisement expenditure. Administrative expenses increased by RMB 121
million, up 32% from the prior year, primarily reflecting higher program spending and
technical development fees associated with higher Transit sales volume.
Cash flow from operations was positive RMB 1,150 million, reflecting profitability and
operating-related changes. Cash flow from investing activities was negative RMB 491
million, reflecting primarily spending for capital goods such as facilities, equipment and
tooling. Financing cash flow was negative RMB 450 million, primarily reflecting dividend
payment, bank loan reduction and interest expenses.
At the end of 2006, Company cash and cash equivalents totaled RMB 2,168 million, up
RMB 209 million from the end of 2005. The balance of bank borrowing was RMB 132
million, down RMB 3 million from the end of 2005 (decreased 2%).
Total assets were RMB 5,312 million, up 12% from RMB 4,722 million at year-end 2005,
primarily reflecting higher Construction in Progress, receivables and cash balance. The
assets structure remains unchanged from 2005.
Total liabilities, including minority interest, were RMB 2,311 million, up 21% from
year-end 2005, primarily reflecting higher accounts payable and accrual due to higher
production volumes and investment. Lower customer advances partially offset the above
increases.
Shareholder equity was RMB 3,002 million at December 31, 2006, up RMB 192 million
from year-end 2005. This increase is explained by net profit earned in the reporting period.
Dividend payments partially offset the equity increase.
7. Causes of Change in Accounting Estimate and Impact on JMC
According to the requirements of Chinese Accounting Standards and considering JMC’s
actual condition, on July 11, 2006, the Board of Directors approved the adjustment to the
fixed asset depreciation periods and residual values adopted in 1993, effective from July 1,
2006, and approved a corresponding one-time asset write-down of RMB 22 million. This
24
change in accounting methods reduced pre-tax profit by RMB 41.58 million this year. The
adjustment to the fixed asset depreciation periods, residual values and annual straight line
depreciation rate was as follows:

8. 2007 Year Plan
The Company is projecting revenue in the range of RMB 8,000 to 8,500 million for 2007.
Intensified competition resulting from new market entries and the launch of news models
will require increased levels of marketing expense to support expanded market share.
Additionally, R&D and capital expenditures are projected to be higher as we progress with
new product programs and capacity expansion actions.
In 2007, the Company continues to focus on generating cash and profits, enhance
formulation of new product development strategies, and execute plans for future growth.
Specific actions include:
i. Accelerate efforts to strengthen our brand image through enhancing the
Company's distribution network, including brand-specific shop expansion and
improving customer sales service.
ii. Work with our technology partners to launch the V348 project and to further
implement the N900, JX4D24 and N350 new product development projects, and
continue to expand production capacity; spending for presently approved projects
will be funded from cash reserves.
iii. Increase cost reduction efforts by focusing on customer value and eliminating
waste.
iv. Develop product plans to add new products for introduction in the Chinese market.
v. Expand the export and OEM component sales business.

3. Proposal on 2006 Year Profit Distribution Plan
Details on the profit available for appropriation of the Company in 2006 prepared in
accordance with Chinese Accounting Standards (‘CAS’) and International Financial
Reporting Standard (‘IFRS’) are as follows:
Unit: RMB’000
CAS IFRS
Retained earning at Dec. 31, 2005 890,903 829,729
2006 net profit 603,611 623,197
Reserve -65,551 -60,361
Allocation of dividend for 2005 -439,376 -439,376
Retained earning at Dec. 31, 2006 989,587 953,189
The upper limit of profit available for distribution was based on the lower of the
29
unappropriated profit calculated in accordance with CAS and that calculated in accordance
with IFRS. Therefore, the Company’s retained earnings available for distribution as of
December 31, 2006 was RMB 953,189 thousand.
The Board approved to submit to the 2006 Annual Shareholders’ Meeting the following
proposal on year 2006 profit distribution:
(1). Appropriate 10% of the 2006 net profit calculated in accordance with CAS as statutory
surplus reserve;
(2). Appropriate for dividend distribution from the year’s net profit, a standard dividend of
RMB 0.3 per share based on the Company’s total share capital; and
(3). Carry forward the balance of the unappropriated profit to the following fiscal year.
Profit distribution proposal: A cash dividend of RMB 3 (including tax) will be distributed
for every 10 shares held. Based on the total share capital of 863,214,000 shares as of
December 31, 2006, total cash dividend distribution amounts to RMB 258,964,200.
B share dividend shall be paid in Hong Kong Dollars and converted based on the
HKD-to-RMB exchange rate published by the People’s Bank of China on the first working
day following the approval on the profit distribution proposal at JMC’s Shareholders’
Meeting.

Directors approved the transfer of sales of frame stamping parts from Nanchang Gear Co.

based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards
on Auditing. Those standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan
and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the financial statements
are free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and
disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s
judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial
statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor
considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the
financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the
circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of
the entity’s internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of
accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to
provide a basis for our audit opinion.

2 Summary of significant accounting policies
The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these consolidated financial
statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years
presented, unless otherwise stated.
A Basis of preparation
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International
Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”). 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 IFRS requires the use of certain
critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgement in the
process of applying the Group’s accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of
judgement or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimations are significant to the
consolidated financial statements, are disclosed in Note 4.

2 Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)
A Basis of preparation (Continued)
Amendments to published standards effective in 2006
IAS 19 (Amendment), Employee Benefits, is mandatory for the Group’s accounting periods
beginning on or after 1 January 2006. It introduces the option of an alternative recognition
approach for actuarial gains and losses. It may impose additional recognition requirements for
multi-employer plans where insufficient information is available to apply defined benefit
accounting. It also adds new disclosure requirements. As the Group does not intend to
change the accounting policy adopted for recognition of actuarial gains and losses and does
not participate in any multi-employer plans, adoption of this amendment only impacts the
format and extent of disclosures presented in the accounts.
Standards, amendments and interpretations effective in 2006 but not relevant to the Group
The following standards, amendments and interpretations are mandatory for accounting
periods beginning on or after 1 January 2006 but are not relevant to the Group’s operations:
• IAS 21 (Amendment), Net Investment in a Foreign Operation;
• IAS 39 (Amendment), Cash Flow Hedge Accounting of Forecast Intragroup Transactions;
• IAS 39 (Amendment), The Fair Value Option;
• IAS 39 and IFRS 4 (Amendment), Financial Guarantee Contracts;
• IFRS 6, Exploration for and Evaluation of Mineral Resources;
• IFRS 1 (Amendment), First-time Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards
and IFRS 6 (Amendment), Exploration for and Evaluation of Mineral Resources;
• IFRIC 6, Liabilities arising from Participating in a Specific Market – Waste Electrical and
Electronic Equipment;
• IFRIC 4, Determining whether an Arrangement contains a Lease; and
• IFRIC 5, Rights to Interests arising from Decommissioning, Restoration and Environmental
Rehabilitation Funds.
Interpretations to existing standards that are not yet effective and have not been early adopted
by the Group
The following interpretations to existing standards have been published that are mandatory for
the Group’s accounting periods beginning on or after 1 May 2006 or later periods that the
Group has not early adopted:
• IFRIC 10, Interim Financial Reporting and Impairment (effective for annual periods
beginning on or after 1 November 2006). IFRIC 10 prohibits the impairment losses
recognised in an interim period on goodwill, investments in equity instruments and
investments in financial assets carried at cost to be reversed at a subsequent balance
sheet date. The Group will apply IFRIC 10 from 1 January 2007, but it is not expected to
have any impact on the Group’s accounts; and
• IFRS 7, Financial Instruments: Disclosures, (effective for annual periods beginning on or
after 1 January 2007). IFRS 7 introduces new disclosures relating to financial instruments.
This standard does not have any impact on the classification and valuation of the Group’s
financial instruments.

A Basis of preparation (Continued)
Interpretations to existing standards that are not yet effective and not relevant for the Group’s
operations
The following interpretations to existing standards have been published that are mandatory for
the Group’s accounting periods beginning on or after 1 May 2006 or later periods but are not
relevant for the Group’s operations:
• IFRIC 7, Applying the Restatement Approach under IAS 29, Financial Reporting in
Hyperinflationary Economies (effective from 1 March 2006). IFRIC 7 provides guidance on
how to apply requirements of IAS 29 in a reporting period in which an entity identifies the
existence of hyperinflation in the economy of its functional Currency, when the economy
was not hyperinflationary in the prior period. As none of the group entities have a Currency
of a hyperinflationary economy as its functional Currency, IFRIC 7 is not relevant to the
Group’s operations;
• IFRIC 8, Scope of IFRS 2 (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 May 2006).
IFRIC 8 requires consideration of transactions involving the issuance of equity instruments
– where the identifiable consideration received is less than the fair value of the equity
instruments issued – to establish whether or not they fall within the scope of IFRS 2. The
Group will apply IFRIC 8 from 1 January 2007, IFRIC 8 is not relevant to the Group’s
operations; and
• IFRIC 9, Reassessment of embedded derivatives (effective for annual periods beginning on
or after 1 June 2006). IFRIC 9 requires an entity to assess whether an embedded derivative
is required to be separated from the host contract and accounted for as a derivative when
the entity first becomes a party to the contract. Subsequent reassessment is prohibited
unless there is a change in the terms of the contract that significantly modifies the cash
flows that otherwise would be required under the contract, in which case reassessment is
required. As none of the group entities have changed the terms of their contracts, IFRIC 9 is
not relevant to the Group’s operations.
B Consolidation
(1) Subsidiaries
Subsidiaries are all entities (including especial purpose entities) over which the Group has the
power to govern the financial and operating policies generally accompanying a shareholding
of more than one half of the voting rights. The existence and effect of potential voting rights
that are currently exercisable or convertible are considered when assessing whether the
Group controls another entity.
Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group.
They are de-consolidated from the date that control ceases.

2 Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)
B Consolidation (continued)
(1) Subsidiaries (continued)
The purchase method of accounting is used to account for the acquisition of subsidiaries by
the Group. The cost of an acquisition is measured as the fair value of the assets given, equity
instruments issued and liabilities incurred or assumed at the date of exchange, plus costs
directly attributable to the acquisition. Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent
liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured initially at their fair values at the
acquisition date, irrespective of the extent of any minority interest. The excess of the cost of
acquisition over the fair value of the Group’s share of the identifiable net assets acquired is
recorded as goodwill. If the cost of acquisition is less than the fair value of the net assets of the
subsidiary acquired, the difference is recognised directly in the income statement.
Inter-company transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions between group
companies are eliminated. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction
provides evidence of an impairment of the asset transferred. Accounting policies of
subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies
adopted by the Group.
(2) Transactions and minority interests
The Group applies a policy of treating transactions with minority interests as transactions with
equity participants of the Group. Gains and losses for the Group resulting from disposals to
minority interests are recorded in the Company’s equity. Difference between any consideration
paid and the relevant share acquired of the carrying value of net assets of the subsidiary,
resulting from purchases from minority interests are recorded in the Company’s equity.
(3) Associates
Associates are all entities over which the Group has significant influence but not control,
generally accompanying a shareholding of between 20% and 50% of the voting rights.
Investments in associates are accounted for using the equity method of accounting and are
initially recognised at cost. The Group’s investment in associates includes goodwill identified
on acquisition, net of any accumulated impairment loss (see Note 2 H).
The Group’s share of its associates’ post-acquisition profits or losses is recognised in the
income statement, and its share of post-acquisition movements in reserves is recognised in
reserves. The cumulative post-acquisition movements are adjusted against the carrying
amount of the investment. When the Group’s share of losses in an associate equals or
exceeds its interest in the associate, including any other unsecured receivables, the Group
does not recognise further losses, unless it has incurred obligations or made payments on
behalf of the associate.
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. Accounting
policies of associates have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the
policies adopted by the Group.

C Segment Reporting
The Group’s turnover and profit for the year were mainly derived from the manufacture and
domestic sale of automobiles, related spare parts and components, and the principal assets
employed by the Group are located in the PRC. Therefore, no additional business segment
or geographical segment data is presented.
D Foreign currency translation
(1) Functional and presentation currency
Items included in the financial statements of each of the Group’s entities are measured using
the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (the “functional
currency”). The consolidated financial statements are presented in Renminbi (“RMB”), which is
the Group’s functional and presentation currency.
(2) Transactions and balances
Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange
rates prevailing on the first day of the month in which the transactions take place. Foreign
exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the
translation at period-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in
foreign currencies are recognised in the income statement.
Changes in the fair value of monetary securities denominated in foreign currency classified as
available for sale are analysed between translation differences resulting from changes in the
amortised cost of the security, and other changes in the carrying amount of the security.
Translation differences are recognised in profit or loss, and other changes in carrying amount
are recognised in equity.
Translation differences on non-monetary financial assets and liabilities are reported as part of
the fair value gain or loss. Translation differences on non-monetary financial assets and
liabilities such as equities held at fair value through profit or loss are recognised in profit or
loss as part of the fair value gain or loss. Translation differences on non-monetary financial
assets such as equities classified as available for sale are included in the fair value reserve in
equity.
E Property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment are stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and
any impairment losses. Historical cost comprises its purchase price and any directly
attributable costs of bring the assets to its working condition and location for its intended use.
Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognised as a separate
asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the
item will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably.
Repairs and maintenance are charged to the income statement during the financial period in
which they are incurred.

For the year ended 31 December 2006
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
(All amounts in RMB unless otherwise stated)
2 Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)
E Property, plant and equipment (Continued)
Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method to allocate their cost to their residual
values over their estimated useful lives, as follows:
Buildings 35-40 years
Plant and Machinery 10-15 years
Motor Vehicles 6-10 years
Moulds 5 years
Others 5-7 years
The assets’ residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each
balance sheet date.
An asset’s carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset’s
carrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount (Note 2 H).
Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with carrying amount.
These are included in the income statement.
Assets under construction represent buildings under construction and plant and equipment
pending installation, and are stated at cost. Costs include construction and acquisition costs.
No provision for depreciation is made on assets under construction until such time as the
relevant assets are completed and ready for intended use. When the assets concerned are
brought into use, the costs are transferred to property, plant and equipment and depreciated in
accordance with the policy as stated above.
F Lease prepayment
Lease prepayments represent upfront prepayments made for the land use rights, and are
expensed in the income statement on a straight line basis over the period of the lease and when
there is impairment, the impairment is expensed in the income statement.
G Intangible assets
(1) 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 the following criteria are fulfilled:
(a) it is technically feasible to complete the intangible asset so that it will be available for use or
sale;
(b) management intends to complete the intangible asset and use or sell it;
(c) there is an ability to use or sell the intangible asset;
(d) it can be demonstrated how the intangible asset will generate probable future economic
benefits;
(e) adequate technical, financial and other resources to complete the development and to use
or sell the intangible asset are available; and
(f) the expenditure attributable to the intangible asset during its development can be reliably
measured.

2 Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)
(1) Research and development (continued)
Other development expenditures that do not meet these criteria are recognised as an expense
as incurred. Development costs previously recognised as an expense are not recognised as an
asset in a subsequent period. Capitalised development costs are recorded as intangible assets
and amortised from the point at which the asset is ready for use on a straight-line basis over its
useful life.
No development costs were capitalised by the Group during the year ended 31 December 2006
(2005: Nil).
(2) Technical know-how
Technical know-how are initially recorded at costs incurred to acquire and are amortised over the
estimated useful lives of 6 years.
H Impairment of non-financial assets
Assets that have an indefinite useful life are not subject to amortisation and are tested annually
for impairment. Assets that are subject to amortisation are 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 asset’s carrying
amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s
fair value less costs to sell and value in use. For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets
are grouped at the lowest level for which there are separately identifiable cash flows
(cash-generating units). Non-financial assets other than goodwill that suffered an impairment
are reviewed for possible reversal of the impairment at each reporting date.
I Financial assets
The Group classifies its financial assets in the following categories: at fair value through profit
or loss, loans and receivables, held-to-maturity financial assets and available for sale. The
classification depends on the purpose for which the financial assets were acquired.
Management determines the classification of its financial assets at initial recognition.
(a) Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss
Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are financial assets held for trading. A
financial asset is classified in this category if acquired principally for the purpose of selling in
the short term. Derivatives are classified as held for trading unless they are designated as
hedges. Assets in this category are classified as current assets.
(b) Loans and receivables
Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments
that are not quoted in an active market. They are included in current assets, except for
maturities greater than 12 months after the balance sheet date. These are classified as
non-current assets. Loans and receivables are classified as trade and other receivables in the
balance sheet (Note 2 L).

2 Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)
I Financial assets (continued)
(c) Held-to-maturity financial assets
Held-to-maturity financial assets are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable
payments and fixed maturities that the Group’s management has the positive intention and
ability to hold to maturity. If the Group were to sell other than an insignificant amount of
held-to-maturity financial assets, the whole category would be tainted and reclassified as
available for sale. Held-to-maturity financial assets are included in non-current assets, except
for those with maturities less than 12 months from the balance sheet date; these are classified
as current assets.
(d) Available-for-sale financial assets
Available-for-sale financial assets are non-derivatives that are either designated in this category
or not classified in any of the other categories. They are included in non-current assets unless
management intends to dispose of the investment within 12 months of the balance sheet date.
Regular purchases and sales of financial assets are recognised on the trade-date – the date
on which the Group commits to purchase or sell the asset. Investments are initially recognised
at fair value plus transaction costs for all financial assets not carried at fair value through profit
or loss. Financial assets carried at fair value through profit or loss are initially recognised at fair
value, and transaction costs are expensed in the income statement. Financial assets are
derecognised when the rights to receive cash flows from the investments have expired or have
been transferred and the Group has transferred substantially all risks and rewards of
ownership. Available-for-sale financial assets and financial assets at fair value through profit or
loss are subsequently carried at fair value. Loans and receivables and held-to-maturity financial
assets are carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
Gains or losses arising from changes in the fair value of the ‘financial assets at fair value
through profit or loss’ category are presented in the income statement within other
(losses)/gains – net, in the period in which they arise. Dividend income from financial assets at
fair value through profit or loss is recognised in the income statement as part of other income
when the Group’s right to receive payments is established.
Changes in the fair value of monetary securities denominated in a foreign Currency and
classified as available-for-sale are analysed between translation differences resulting from
changes in amortised cost of the security and other changes in the carrying amount of the
security. The translation differences on monetary securities are recognised in profit or loss;
translation differences on non-monetary securities are recognised in equity. Changes in the
fair value of monetary and non-monetary securities classified as available for sale are
recognised in equity.
When securities classified as available for sale are sold or impaired, the accumulated fair
value adjustments recognised in equity are included in the income statement as gains and
losses from investment securities.
Interest on available-for-sale securities calculated using the effective interest method is
recognised in the income statement as part of other income. Dividends on available-for-sale
equity instruments are recognised in the income statement as part of other income when the
Group’s right to receive payments is established.

2 Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)
I Financial assets (continued)
(d) Available-for-sale financial assets (continued)
The fair values of quoted investments are based on current bid prices. If the market for a
financial asset is not active (and for unlisted securities), the Group establishes fair value by
using valuation techniques. These include the use of recent arm’s length transactions,
reference to other instruments that are substantially the same, discounted cash flow analysis
and option pricing models, making maximum use of market inputs and relying as little as
possible on entity-specific inputs.
The Group assesses at each balance sheet date whether there is objective evidence that a
financial asset or a group of financial assets is impaired. In the case of equity securities
classified as available for sale, a significant or prolonged decline in the fair value of the security
below its cost is considered as an indicator that the securities are impaired. If any such
evidence exists for available-for-sale financial assets, the cumulative loss – measured as the
difference between the acquisition cost and the current fair value, less any impairment loss on
that financial asset previously recognised in profit or loss – is removed from equity and
recognised in the income statement. Impairment losses recognised in the income statement
on equity instruments are not reversed through the income statement. Impairment testing of
trade receivables is described in Note 2 L.
J Derivative financial instruments and hedging activities
Derivatives are initially recognised at fair value on the date a derivative contract is entered into
and are subsequently remeasured at their fair value. The method of recognising the resulting
gain or loss depends on whether the derivative is designated as a hedging instrument, and if so,
the nature of the item being hedged. The Group has no derivative instruments that qualifying for
hedge accounting. Changes in the fair value of any derivative instruments that do not qualify
for hedge accounting are recognised immediately in the income statement.
K Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost is determined using the
weighted average cost 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). It excludes borrowing costs. Net realisable value is the estimated selling
prices in the ordinary course of business, less applicable variable costs of completion and
selling expenses.

2 Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)
L Trade and other receivables
Trade and other receivables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at
amortised cost using the effective interest method, less provision made for impairment. A
provision for impairment of trade receivables is established when there is objective evidence that
the Group will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of
receivables. Significant financial difficulties of the debtor, probability that the debtor will enter
bankruptcy or financial reorganisation, and default or delinquency in payments are considered
indicators that the trade receivable is impaired. The amount of the provision is the difference
between the carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted
at the original effective interest rate. The carrying amount of the asset is reduced through the
use of an allowance account, and the amount of the loss is recognised in the income
statement within “administrative expenses”. When a trade receivable is uncollectible, it is
written off against the allowance account for trade receivables. Subsequent recoveries of
amounts previously written off are credited against “administrative expenses” in the income
statement.
M Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents includes cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other
short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank
overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities on the balance
sheet.
N Shares capital
Share capital consists of “A” and “B” ordinary shares.
Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares are shown in equity as a
deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds.
O Trade and other payables
Trade and other payables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at
amortised cost using the effective interest method.
P Borrowings
Borrowings are recognised initially at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. Borrowings are
subsequently stated at amortised cost; any difference between proceeds (net of transaction
costs) and the redemption value is recognised in the income statement over the period of the
borrowings using the effective interest method.
Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the Group has an unconditional right to
defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the balance sheet date.

Q 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
consolidated financial statements. However, the deferred income tax is not accounted for if it
arises from initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction other than a business
combination that at the time of the transaction affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or
loss. Deferred income tax is determined using tax rates that have been enacted or
substantially enacted by the balance sheet date and are expected to apply when the related
deferred income tax asset is realised or the deferred income tax liability is settled.
Deferred income 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.
R Employee benefits
(1) Pension obligations
The Group contributes on a monthly basis to a defined contribution retirement scheme managed
by the PRC government. The contribution to the schemes is charged to the income statement as
and when incurred. The Group’s obligations are determined at a certain percentage of the
salaries of the employees.
In addition, the Group provides certain retirees with supplemental post-retirement benefits and
the cost of providing the aforementioned supplemental post-retirement benefits under the
Group’s defined benefit plan is actuarially determined and recognised over the employees’
service period by using the projected unit credit method. Post-retirement benefit expenses
recognised in the income statement, include, if applicable, current service cost, interest cost, the
expected return on plan assets, amortised actuarial gains and losses, the effect of any
curtailment or settlement and past service cost.
(2) Housing fund and other benefits
The Group’s full-time employees are entitled to participate in a state-sponsored housing fund.
The fund can be used by the employees for the purchase of apartment 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’
salaries.
(3) Profit sharing and bonus plan
The Company recognises a liability and expense for bonus plans based on a formula that takes
into consideration the profit attributable to the Company’s shareholders.

2 Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)
S Provisions
Provisions, mainly warranty costs, are recognised when the Group has a present legal or
constructive obligation as a result of past events, it is more likely than not that an outflow of
resources will be required to settle the obligation; and the amount has been reliably estimated.
Provisions are not recognised for future operating losses.
Where there are a number of similar obligations, the likelihood that an outflow will be required in
settlement is determined by considering the class of obligations as a whole. A provision is
recognised even if the likelihood of an outflow with respect to any one item included in the same
class of obligations may be small.
Provisions are measured at the present value of the expenditures expected to be required to
settle the obligation using a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time
value of money and the risks specific to the obligation. The increase in the provision due to
passage of time is recognised as interest expense.
T Revenue recognition
Revenue comprises the fair value for the consideration received or receivable for the sale of
goods and services in the ordinary course of the Group’s activities. Revenue is shown net of
value-added tax, returns, rebates and discounts and after elimination sales within the Group.
The Group recognises revenue when the amount of revenue can be reliably measured, it is
probable that future economic benefits will flow to the entity and specific criteria have been
met for each of the Group’s activities as described below.
(1) Sales of goods
Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised when significant risks and rewards of ownership
of the goods are transferred to the customer, and the customer has accepted the products and
collectibility of the related receivables is reasonably assured.
(2) Sales of services
Sales of services are recognised in the accounting period in which the services are rendered, by
reference to completion of the specific transaction assessed on the basis of the actual service
provided as a proportion of the total services to be provided.
(3) Interest income
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.
(4) Rental income
Rental income is recognised on an accruals basis in accordance with the substance of the
relevant agreements.
(5) Dividend income
Dividend income is recognised when the right to receive payment is established.

U Dividend distribution
Dividend distribution to the Company’s shareholders is recognised as a liability in the Group’s
financial statements in the period in which the dividends are approved by the Company’s
shareholders.
V 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.
Government grants not relating to future costs are recognised on receipt basis.
Government grants relating to the purchase of property, plant and equipment are included in
non-current liabilities as deferred income and are credited to the income statement on a
straight line basis over the expected lives of the related assets.
3 Financial risk management
3.1 Financial risk factors
The Group’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk (including currency
risk, fair value interest rate risk, cash flow interest rate risk and price risk), credit risk and
liquidity risk. The Group’s overall risk management programme focuses on the unpredictability
of financial markets and seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on the Group’s financial
performance.
Risk management is carried out by Finance Department under policies approved by the Board
of Directors.
(1) Market risk
(a) Currency risk
The Group is exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from various currency exposures,
primarily with respect to the US dollar, UK pound and Japanese Yen. Foreign exchange risk
arises from future commercial transactions, recognised assets and liabilities.
Foreign exchange risk arises when future commercial transactions or recognised assets or
liabilities are denominated in a currency that is not the Group’s functional currency. To manage
their foreign exchange risk arising from future commercial transactions and recognises assets
and liabilities, the Group uses external forward contracts.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
(All amounts in RMB unless otherwise stated)
3 Financial risk management (Continued)
3.1 Financial risk factors (Continued)
(1) Market risk (Continued)
(b) Commodity price risk
Commodity price risk is the possibility of higher or lower costs due to changes in the prices of
commodities, such as non-ferrous metals (e.g. aluminium), ferrous metals (e.g. steel and iron
castings), energy (e.g. natural gas and electricity), and plastics/resins (e.g. polypropylene),
which we use in the production of motor vehicles. Steel and resins are our two largest
commodity exposures and are among the most difficult to hedge.
Our purchasing department negotiates contracts to ensure continuous supply of raw
materials. In some cases, these contracts stipulate minimum purchase amounts and specific
prices, and as such, play a role in managing price risk.
(2) Credit risk
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.
(3) Liquidity risk
Prudent liquidity risk management implies maintaining sufficient cash and marketable
securities, the availability of funding through an adequate amount of committed credit facilities
and the ability to close out market positions. Due to the dynamic nature of the underlying
businesses, the Group aims to maintain flexibility in funding by keeping committed credit lines
available.
(4) Cash flow and fair value interest rate risk
The Group’s income and operating cash flows are substantially independent of changes in
market rates. As of 31 December 2006 and 2005, substantially all of its borrowings were at
fixed rate. The Group has not used any interest rate swaps to hedge its exposure to interest
rate risk.
3.2 Fair value estimation
The fair value of financial instruments traded in active markets (such as trading and
available-for-sale securities) is based on quoted market prices at the balance sheet date. The
quoted market price used for financial assets held by the Group is the current bid price.
The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market is determined by
using valuation techniques. The Group uses a variety of methods and makes assumptions
that are based on market conditions existing at each balance sheet date. Quoted market
prices or dealer quotes for similar instruments are used for long-term debt. Other techniques,
such as estimated discounted cash flows, are used to determine fair value for the remaining
financial instruments. The fair value of forward foreign exchange contracts is determined using
quoted forward exchange rates at the balance sheet date.

3 Financial risk management (Continued)
3.2 Fair value estimation (continued)
The carrying value less impairment provision of trade receivables and payables are assumed
to approximate their fair values. The fair value of financial liabilities for disclosure purposes is
estimated by discounting the future contractual cash flows at the current market interest rate
that is available to the Group for similar financial instruments.
Estimates and judgments are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience
and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable
under the circumstances.
4. Critical accounting estimates and judgements
Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience
and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable
under the circumstances.
The Group makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The resulting accounting
estimates will, by definition, rarely equal the related actual results. The estimates and
assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying
amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are outlined below.
(1) Depreciation and amortisation
The Group’s management determines the estimated residual value, useful lives and related
depreciation / amortisation charges for the property, plant and equipment and intangible
assets with reference to the estimated periods that the Group intends to derive future
economic benefits from the use of these assets. Management will revise the depreciation
and amortisation charge where useful lives are different to previously estimated, or it will
write-off or write-down technically obsolete or non-strategic assets that have been abandoned
or sold.
In 2006, the Board of Directors approved the following adjustment to the estimated useful lives
and residual values of property, plant and equipment, which became effective on 1 July 2006.
After Adjusted Before Adjusted
Useful lives Residual Useful lives Residual
(Years) Value (Years) Value
Buildings 35-40 4% 35 10%
Plant and Machinery 10-15 4% 10 10%
Motor Vehicles 6-10 4% 6 10%
Moulds 5 - 5 -
Others 5-7 4% 7 10%
The revised estimated useful life and residual values reduced the Group’s profit by
approximately RMB 41,583,000.

4. Critical accounting estimates and judgements (Continued)
(2) Impairment of non-financial assets
Non-financial assets are reviewed for impairment in accordance with the accounting policy
stated in Note 2H. The recoverable amount of an asset or a cash-generating unit is
determined based on value-in-use calculations. The value-in-use calculation requires the
entity to estimate the future cash flows expected to arise from the cash-generating unit and a
suitable discount rate in order to calculate present value, which has been prepared on the
basis of management’s assumptions and estimates. Detailed sensitivity analyses have been
performed and management is confident that the carrying amount of the relevant assets will
be recovered in full.
(3) Impairment of trade and other receivables
Provision for impairment of trade and other receivables is determined based on the evaluation
of collectibility of trade and other receivables. A considerable amount of judgment is required
in assessing the ultimate realisation of these receivables, including the current
creditworthiness, the past collection history of each customer and the current market
condition.
(4) Inventories
Management estimates the net realisable value for inventory based primarily on the latest
invoice prices less costs to sell or value in use. The Group carries out an inventory review on a
product-by-product basis at each balance sheet date and make provision for impairment on
obsolete and slow-moving items or write-off or write-down inventories to net realisable value.
(5) Provisions
The Group provides warranties on automobile and undertakes to repair or replace items that
fail to perform satisfactorily based on certain pre-determined conditions. Management
estimates the related warranty claims based on historical warranty claim information including
level of repairs and returns as well as recent trends that might suggest that past cost
information may differ from future claims.
Factors that could impact the estimated claim information include the success of the Group’s
productivity and quality controls, as well as parts and labour costs. Any increase or decrease
in the provision would affect profit or loss in future years.
(6) Taxation
The Group is subject to various taxes in the PRC, e.g. profit tax, value added tax, consumption
tax, etc. Significant judgment is required in determining the provision for these taxes. There
are many transactions and calculations for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain
during the ordinary course of business. The Group recognises liabilities for anticipated tax
issues based on estimates of whether additional taxes will be due. Where the final tax
outcome of these matters is different from amounts that were initial recorded, such differences
will impact the tax provisions in the period such determination is made.
Deferred tax assets relating to certain temporary differences are recognised as management
considers it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the temporary
differences can be utilised. Where the expectation is different from the original estimate, such
differences will impact the recognition of deferred tax assets and tax in the periods in which
such estimate is changed.

5 Property, plant and equipment (continued)
In connection with the Group’s reorganisation in 1993, the Group’s property, plant and
equipment were revalued on 31 December 1992 by Zhonghua (Shenzhen) Certified Public
Accountants on a depreciated replacement value basis. The opening accumulated
depreciation of the revalued assets was computed using depreciation rates as stipulated by the
State regulations, which are generally consistent with those applied by the Group for the
preparation of its financial statements. Since this was a special purpose valuation conducted
for the purposes of the formation of a joint stock limited company, this became deemed costs of
the Company’s property, plant and equipment. Subsequent revaluations have not been
performed and all further additions have been recorded at cost.

(a) In accordance with the relevant laws and regulations in the PRC and Articles of Association of
the Company, it is required to appropriate 10% and 5%-10% of its annual net profit, after
offsetting any prior years’ losses as determined under the PRC GAAP, to the statutory surplus
reserve fund and statutory public welfare fund respectively before distributing the net profit.
When the balance of the statutory surplus reserve fund reaches 50% of the Company’s share
capital, any further appropriation is at the discretion of shareholders. The statutory surplus
reserve fund can be used to offset prior years’ losses, if any, and may be converted into share
capital by issuing new shares to shareholders in proportion to their existing shareholders or by
increasing the par value of the shares currently held by them. The statutory public welfare fund
can only be utilised on capital expenditure for the collective benefit of the Company’s employees
such as the construction of dormitories, canteen and other staff welfare facilities, with the title of
these capital items remaining with the Company. The funds are non-distributable except for
liquidation situation.
Pursuant to the Articles of Association of the Company, approximately RMB 60,361,078 was
appropriated to the statutory surplus reserve fund from the net profit for the year ended 31
December 2006.
(b) According to the revised Company Law effective on 1 January 2006 and circular Caiqi [2006]
No.67 issued by the Ministry of Finance on 15 March 2006, appropriation to statutory public
welfare fund is no longer required, and the balance of statutory public welfare fund as of 31
December 2005 should be converted into statutory surplus reserve fund.
(c) As mentioned in Note 30, the Group owned 20% equity interests in Jiangxi Fujiang prior to
30 September 2006 and has been accounted for as an associate of the Group. On 30
September 2006, the Group acquired the remaining 80% equity interests in Jiangxi Fujiang.
Thereafter, Jiangxi Fujiang became wholly owned by the Group. In this connection, the
difference between the carrying amount of Jiangxi Fujiang and the attributable share of the
fair value of Jiangxi Fujiang before this acquisition is recorded as "other reserve" in 2006.

(3) Mortality: average life expectancy of residents in the PRC.
Based on the assessment and IAS 19, the Group estimated that, at 31 December 2006, a
provision of RMB 85,805,000 is sufficiently to cover all future retirement-related obligations.
Obligation in respect of retirement benefits of RMB 85,805,000 is the present value of the
unfunded obligations, of which the current portion amounting to RMB 16,455,000 (2005: RMB
