The Notes of Financial Statement of Suichang County Jiulongshan Hydroelectric Development Co., Ltd. on Sep, 30th, 2007
    The company adopts the accrual basis as accounting base, and the pricing principle is based on the historical cost.
 
5.   Validation criteria for cash equivalent
 
    Cash equivalent means those investments featuring short term (generally due within 3 months from purchase date), high mobility, easy to change into cash, and low value disturbance.
 
6.   Entry method of bad debt loss for the account receivable
  (1)   Bad debt validation criteria: a. the debtor goes into liquidation or death, and his liquidated property and heritage cannot cover the all the debts; b. the debtor fails to perform its repayment obligations overdue and it’s obvious that the debt is unable to be repaid.
 
  (2)   The entry method of bad debt loss: allowance method is used for reckoning the bad debt loss. By the end of each year, the company will draw 5% of the balance for bad debts to the receivables (including account receivable and other receivables) after deducting the incoming and outgoing of the related parties and funds of disbursement.
    For those accounts receivable featuring conclusive evidence of the obvious difference of repayment, individual recognizing method is used to draw bad debt provision.
 
7.   Fixed assets pricing and depreciation method
  (1)   Validation criteria for fixed assets: the fixed assets concurrently feature the following characteristics: 1. tangible assets; 2. high unit value; 3. service life is more than one year; 4. purchased for the purposes of production, offering labour services, lease or operation management.
 
  (2)   The fixed assets pricing and depreciation method: the fixed asset is booked at the actual cost of procurement, and depreciated according to straight-line method from the next month after reaching the serviceable conditions.
 
      The salvage value rate, depreciation life and annual depreciation rate of all kinds of fixed assets:

    3 %     8       12.13 %
Special-purpose equipment
    3 %     20-25       3.88%-4.85 %
Vehicles
    3 %     10       9.70 %
  (3)   The validation criteria and provision method for the depreciation provision of fixed assets: by the end of each year, the company will inspect all the fixed assets. If the following factors are found, including continual downslide of market price, technical obsolescence, damage or long-term idling, then the recoverable amount is evaluated for the fixed assets so as to check whether the fixed asset is devaluated or not. If the recoverable amount is lower than the book value of the fixed assets, then the depreciation provision is drawn as the difference between the recoverable amount and the book value.
8.   The accounting method for project under construction
  (1)   The project under construction adopts actual cost accounting. The Company project under construction is divided into construction project investment, installation work investment, equipment investment, miscellaneous investment and prepaid and deferred expenses investment.
 
      For exterior product sales formed in the trial run process before reaching prearranged serviceable condition of project under construction, its generated cost is counted into the cost of project under construction, when it is sold or turned into commodity stocks; the engineering cost is subtracted according to effective sales income or according to predicted sales price.
 
      From the date of the built project reaching prearranged serviceable condition, according to project budget, cost or project actual cost, appraisal value is turned into fixed assets. The fixed assets depreciation is provided according to prescription of depreciation of fixed assets provision.

  (2)   The depreciation preparation for project under construction: the Company inspected the project under construction in terminal and estimated receivable sum of various project under construction. If there is any evidence indicating that the project under construction induced depreciation, the provision of project under construction depreciation preparation is made according to depreciation sum.
9.   Accounting process for borrowing cost
 
    If the company’s generant borrowing cost can be directly categorized under conforming to capitalization condition assets, it should be capitalization and be counted in the related assets cost. For miscellaneous borrowing cost, it should be confirmed as expense according to its sum and be counted in the profit and loss in the current period.
 
10.   Validation criteria for revenue
 
  The operating revenues of the company are mainly power generation revenue. The validation criteria for revenue are as follows:

  Market Risk Premium Rpm
 
    Domestic securities market is an emerging but bundle one. On one hand, the domestic market has a relatively shorter history data and in the first several years of its establishment, the speculation atmosphere was pregnant, so the market fluctuation is large; on the other hand, presently, the control over the exchange flow under the capital account is strict, plus the particularity of the stock equity separation, so the stock equity risk premium deduced directly from the history data has a low reliability, while in the mature market, owing the long history data, the overall stock equity risk premium on the market could be got from analyzing the history data, so the risk premium of international emerging markets commonly could be decided by the risk premium of the mature market. In this appraisal, the market risk premium Rpm is 7.5%.
