Shandong Gold Mining Co., Ltd. Announces Change in Accounting Policies

Shandong Gold Mining Co., Ltd. has made changes to its accounting policies in accordance with the relevant provisions of the Interpretation No. 19 of the Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises and the Interpretation No. 20 of the Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises issued by the Ministry of Finance of the People's Republic of China. The changed accounting policies are in compliance with applicable laws and regulations and the actual circumstances of the Company. The change in accounting policies will not have a material impact on the financial position, operating results or cash flows of the Company, nor will it harm the interests of the Company and its minority shareholders. The change in accounting policies is not required to be submitted to the general meeting of the Company for consideration. On December 5, 2025, the Ministry of Finance issued the Notice on the Issuance of the Interpretation No. 19 of the Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises (Cai Kuai [2025] No. 32), which sets out the provisions relating to accounting treatment of compensating assets in business combinations not under common control, accounting treatment of relevant capital reserves upon disposal of subsidiaries acquired through business combinations under common control, derecognition of financial liabilities settled through electronic payment systems, assessment of contractual cash flow characteristics of financial assets and related disclosures, and disclosures of equity instruments designated as measured at fair value through other comprehensive income, effective from January 1, 2026. On June 4, 2026, the Ministry of Finance issued the Interpretation No. 20 of the Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises (Cai Kuai [2026] No. 7), which sets out the provisions relating to assessment of contractual cash flow characteristics of financial assets and accounting treatment and related disclosures in the absence of currency convertibility, effective from the date of issuance. For new transactions within the scope of the Interpretation that occurred between January 1, 2026 and the effective date of the Interpretation, an enterprise shall make adjustments in accordance with the Interpretation. On August 28, 2026, the Company held the 18th meeting of the seventh session of the Board of Directors, at which the Resolution on the Change in Accounting Policies of the Company was considered and approved. The change in accounting policies is made by the Company in accordance with the requirements of laws, regulations and the unified national accounting system, and is not required to be submitted to the general meeting of the Company for consideration. Prior to the change in accounting policies, the Company had been applying the Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises – Basic Standard and various specific accounting standards, application guidelines, interpretation announcements and other relevant provisions issued by the Ministry of Finance. Following the change in accounting policies, the Company applies the relevant provisions of the Interpretation No. 19 and the Interpretation No. 20 issued by the Ministry of Finance. For those aspects not affected by the change, the Company continues to apply the Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises – Basic Standard and various specific accounting standards, application guidelines, interpretation announcements and other relevant provisions previously issued by the Ministry of Finance. In accordance with the provisions of the aforesaid relevant standards and notices issued by the Ministry of Finance, the Company has implemented the change in accounting policies with effect from January 1, 2026. The change in accounting policies is made by the Company in accordance with the relevant provisions and requirements of the Ministry of Finance, and is in compliance with applicable laws and regulations and the actual circumstances of the Company. The accounting policies after the change are able to objectively and fairly reflect the financial position and operating results of the Company. The change in accounting policies will not have a material impact on the financial position, operating results or cash flows of the Company, nor will it harm the interests of the Company and its minority shareholders. On August 13, 2026, the Company held the seventh meeting of the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors in 2026, at which the Resolution on the Change in Accounting Policies of the Company was considered and approved by a unanimous vote. The Audit Committee was of the view that the change in accounting policies is made by the Company in accordance with the relevant provisions and requirements of the Ministry of Finance. The adoption of the new accounting policies will enable the Company's financial reports to reflect its financial position, operating results and cash flows more objectively, faithfully and fairly, and will provide investors with more reliable and accurate accounting information, without harming the interests of the Company and its minority shareholders. The Audit Committee agreed to the change in accounting policies and recommended the resolution to the Board of Directors for consideration.
