2010 Interim Report
ZHEJIANG EXPRESSWAY CO., LTD.
2010 Interim Report
Leveraging Opportunities, Pursuing Growth
2010 will be a complicated year for China's economy. Given a slowdown on
economic growth in the second half, we expect that the Group will be affected
in respect of its expressway traffic volume, service areas operation and
capital market performance. Faced with the not-so-optimistic situation, the
management of the Company will continue to build up its core expressway
business while actively seeking and cultivating new business opportunities and
new sources of profit growth. It will strive unremittingly to contribute to the
Company's sustainable development and bring forth satisfactory results for
shareholders.

Business Review
Affected by the relatively high comparison basis for the same period in 2009
and the State's macro-economic control measures, the growth pace of China's
economy has slowed during the second quarter of the year. However, the economy
as a whole kept a sound developing trend in the first half of 2010, with the
national GDP increasing by 11.1% as compared to the same period last year.
Although the growth pace of the economy of Zhejiang Province also slowed in the
second quarter during the Period, the province did keep a positive recovery
trend with continuous optimization of its whole economic structure. GDP of
Zhejiang Province recorded a year-on-year growth of 13% in the first half of
2010.
Benefiting from a sound development momentum of the domestic economy and an
increase in automobile sales, traffic volume and toll income on the Group's
expressways maintained a satisfactory growth during the first half of the year.
Therefore, during the Period, income for the Group recorded a rise of 13.0%
compared to the same period last year to Rmb3,227.49 million, of which
Rmb1,739.65 million, or 53.9% of total income, was generated from the two major
expressways owned and operated by the Group. Rmb799.39 million was generated
from toll road-related businesses, which accounted for 24.8% of the total
income. Affected by a sharp decline of China's stock market during the Period,
income from the securities business dropped slightly compared to the same
period last year to Rmb688.45 million, accounting for 21.3% of the total
income.
During the Period, toll income from toll road operations increased by 11.6%
over the same period in 2009, while income from toll road-related businesses
increased by 36.1%. A breakdown of the Group's income for the Period is set out

Business Review
TOLL ROAD OPERATIONS
During the Period, benefiting from the effective macro-economic control
measures, China's economy developed positively toward the expected goal.
Domestic demand stimulated domestic automobile sales to increase substantially.
At the same time, the widening project of the Shanghai Section of the
Shanghai-Hangzhou Expressway was completed in early 2010, and together with the
implementation of the toll-by-weight policy, the natural growth of traffic
volume on the Group's expressways during the Period was quite significant, with
the growth rate of toll income being much steeper than that of traffic volume.
On January 1, 2010, construction on the Shanghai Section of the
Shanghai-Hangzhou Expressway was completed. Through a series of promotion by the
Company, traffic volume on the Group's Shanghai-Hangzhou Expressway resumed in
no time to the same level as that before the construction. At the same time, the
toll-by-weight policy implemented in mid-April 2010 brought about a notable
increase in toll income for the road section. From the first half's operation
figures, we are happy to witness that both traffic volume and toll income
recorded double-digit increases for the ShanghaiHangzhou-Ningbo Expressway.
Despite the advantages brought to the Group's Shangsan Expressway by both sound
macro-economic growth and the implementation of the toll-by-weight policy in the
first half of the year, the launch of the dual path identification system in
mid-October 2009 has offset the traffic volume increase on the Shangsan
Expressway, resulting in a slight drop in traffic volume and toll income for the
road section during the Period.
The average daily traffic volume in full-trip equivalents along the Group's
Shanghai-Hangzhou-Ningbo Expressway was 37,933 during the Period, representing
an increase of 12.4% year-on-year. The average daily traffic volume in full-trip
equivalents along the Shanghai-Hangzhou Section of the Shanghai-Hangzhou-Ningbo
Expressway increased by 17.2% year-on-year, and that along the Hangzhou-Ningbo
Section increased by 9.2% year-on-year. The average daily traffic volume in
full-trip equivalents along the Shangsan Expressway was 18,844 during the
Period, representing a decrease of 1.4% year-on-year.
Toll income from the Shanghai-Hangzhou-Ningbo Expressway amounted to Rmb1,361.79
million during the Period, representing an increase of 15.6% year-on-year; while
toll income from the Shangsan Expressway amounted to Rmb377.86 million during
the Period, representing a decrease of 0.7% year-on-year.
TOLL ROAD-RELATED BUSINESSES
The Company also operates certain toll road-related businesses along its
expressways through its subsidiaries and associated companies, including gas
stations, restaurants and shops in service areas, as well as roadside
advertising and vehicle service businesses.
During the Period, with a steady recovery of the domestic economy, traffic
volume along the Group's expressways increased significantly. The opening of
Shanghai Expo also lifted traffic volume and thus enhanced income for the
service areas. Meanwhile, both sales and prices of petroleum products increased
substantially, which has in turn boosted the income of the gas station
operation. Consequently, income of toll road-related businesses of the Group
amounted to Rmb806.48 million during the Period, an increase of 35.6%
year-on-year.
SECURITIES BUSINESS
During the Period, the macro-economy was under structural adjustments, leading
to a sharp drop of Shanghai and Shenzhen stock market indices and a decrease in
market trading volume. Competition in the brokerage market became intensified,
resulting in a reduction on average commission rates. Despite the severe
external environment, Zheshang Securities Co., Ltd. ("Zheshang Securities")
continued to maintain a smooth operation through active business developments.
The market share of its brokerage business continued to be enhanced, as well as
its number of clients. In the meantime, Zheshang Securities achieved growth on
investment banking, asset management and futures businesses, which to some
extent offset the impact on Zheshang Securities caused by intense market
competition and share index drop.
During the Period, the offering scale of Zheshang Securities' first accumulated
asset management plan, "Zheshang Huijin No.1", reached Rmb2.3 billion, boosting
the total scale of the asset management business to exceed Rmb3.0 billion.
Zheshang Securities set up five new branches in coastal provinces and cities
like Fujian and Guangdong, and the number of operating offices was expanded to
46, thereby further enhancing its network deployment.
During the Period, the securities business realized an operating income of
Rmb688.45 million, representing a decrease of 3.2% year-on-year. Of such income,
brokerage commission income amounted to Rmb590.94 million, representing a
year-on-year decrease of 9.3%; and bank interest income amounted to Rmb97.51
million, representing a year-on-year increase of 64.1%. Apart from these, the
proprietary securities trading business recorded a profit of Rmb51.61 million as
accounted for in the income statement (2009 Interim: Rmb27.20 million).
LONG-TERM INVESTMENTS
Zhejiang Expressway Petroleum Development Co., Ltd. (a 50% owned associate of
the Company) ("Petroleum Co") benefited from a recovery of the macro-economy and
an increase in petroleum products prices during the Period. It recorded a
substantial increase in sales of petroleum products and a revenue of Rmb1,599.90
million, a 37.4% increase year-on-year. In the Period, Petroleum Co achieved a
net profit of Rmb11.52 million.
Zhejiang Jinhua Yongjin Expressway Co., Ltd. (a 23.45% owned associate of the
Company) ("Jinhua Co") operates the 69.7km Jinhua Section of Ningbo-Jinhua
Expressway. During the Period, benefiting from a recovery of the domestic
economy and the toll income increase brought about by the implementation of the
toll-by-weight policy, the average daily traffic volume in full-trip equivalents
along the road section was 9,066 vehicles, a 26.1% increase as compared to the
same period last year. Toll income was Rmb88.37 million, an increase of 34.9%
year-on-year. A loss of Rmb39.93 million was recorded due to Jinhua Co's heavy
financial burden, though the loss was gradually decreasing year after year.
JoinHands Technology Co., Ltd. (a 27.582% owned associate of the Company)
generated its income mainly from its printing operation and property leasing
during the Period. Due to a lack of improvement in its operations, the associate
company incurred a loss of Rmb1.79 million during the Period.
OTHERS
On May 20, 2010, the Company entered into an agreement with Zhejiang
Communications Investment Group Co., Ltd. ("Communications Investment Group")
and Yiwu Communications Development Co., Ltd., pursuant to which the Company
agreed to inject a further capital in the amount of Rmb23.45 million, in
proportion to its share of capital contributions, into Jinhua Co by cash to
alleviate a shortage in project and working capital at Jinhua Co. After the
further capital injection by the Company and Communications Investment Group,
the registered capital of Jinhua Co increased from Rmb800 million to Rmb900
million and the Company continued to own as to 23.45% in the equity of Jinhua
Co.
HUMAN RESOURCES
There were no significant changes to the Company's overall number of employees,
remuneration policies, bonus schemes and training schemes from what have been
disclosed in the Company's latest annual report.

CAPITAL EXPENDITURE COMMITMENTS AND UTILIZATION

renovation and expansion.
The Group will finance its above mentioned capital expenditure commitments
mainly with internally generated cash flow, with a preference for debt financing
to meet any shortfalls thereof.
CONTINGENT LIABILITIES AND PLEDGE OF ASSETS
As at June 30, 2010, the Group did not have any contingent liabilities nor any
pledge of assets or guarantees.
FOREIGN EXCHANGE EXPOSURE
Save for the repayment of a World Bank loan of Rmb391.51 million equivalent in
US dollars, as well as dividend payments to the holders of H shares in Hong Kong
dollars, the Group's principal operations are transacted and booked in Renminbi.
Therefore, the Group's exposure to foreign exchange fluctuations is limited and
the Group has not used financial instrument for hedging purposes during the
Period.
Although the Directors do not foresee any material foreign exchange risks for
the Group, there is no assurance that foreign exchange risks will not affect the
operating results of the Group in the future.
Outlook
In the first half of this year, China's economy continued to develop steadily
according to the direction led by the macroeconomic control measures. Under an
improving external environment, fast growth on foreign export and a low
comparison basis last year, Zhejiang Province's economy continued to develop
positively in the first half of 2010. However, we expect a slowdown on the
growth rate of the economy in the second half under vigorous structural
adjustment policies carried out by the government. As a result of the slowdown
of economic growth, the rapid growth on domestic car ownership will also slow,
which in turn will affect the natural traffic growth along the Group's
expressways.
Although the opening of the Shanghai-Jiaxing-Huzhou-Hangzhou Expressway in
early February this year caused little impact on the Group's expressways, the
opening of Zhuyong Expressway on July 22, 2010 will bring about negative effect
on the traffic volume along the Group's expressways, especially causing
significant traffic diversions on the Shangsan Expressway.
Introduction of the toll-by-weight policy created a decrease in truck traffic
volume for a short period of time, but from existing figures, it already brought
a notable increase in toll income. In the second half of this year, through
strengthened promotion and measures to attract more empty vans, we expect truck
traffic volume to resume to the level before the policy was implemented.
During the Period, benefiting from a better economic environment in Zhejiang
Province, the Group's toll road-related businesses achieved significant growth.
In the second half of the year, the Company will apply various measures,
including introducing and refining quality operational projects and intensifying
our promotion, to enhance management standards and service quality at the
service areas.
As China's economy is in the course of transformation, despite the rapid GDP
growth in the first half of the year, the stock market will remain sluggish.
Although the Group's securities business may be affected by the turbulent A
share market in the short run, Zheshang Securities will carry out various
measures including further expanding its investment banking business and
grouping financing product marketing with the futures agency business, with a
view to continuously gaining industry influence and market share. We expect good
profit contribution from Zheshang Securities to the Group in the future.
2010 will be a complicated year for China's economy. Given a slowdown on
economic growth in the second half, we expect that the Group will be affected in
respect of its expressway traffic volume, service areas operation and capital
market performance. Faced with the not-so-optimistic situation, the management
of the Company will continue to build up its core expressway business while
actively seeking and cultivating new business opportunities and new sources of
profit growth. It will strive unremittingly to contribute to the Company's
sustainable development and bring forth satisfactory results for shareholders.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
1. BASIS OF PREPARATION
The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with the applicable disclosure requirements of Appendix 16 to the
Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong
Limited (the "Listing Rules") and with Hong Kong Accounting Standard 34
("HKAS 34") "Interim Financial Reporting".
2. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the
historical cost basis except for certain financial instruments, which are
measured at fair value, as appropriate.
The accounting policies used in the condensed consolidated financial
statements are consistent with those followed in the preparation of the
Group's annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2009
except as described below.
During the Period, the Group has applied, for the first time, the following
new and revised standards, amendments and interpretations ("new and revised
HKFRSs") issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants
("HKICPA").
HKFRSs (Amendments) Amendments to HKFRS 5 as part of Improvements to HKFRSs 2008
HKFRSs (Amendments) Improvements to HKFRSs 2009
HKAS 27 (Revised) Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements
HKAS 39 (Amendment) Eligible Hedged Items
HKFRS 1 (Amendment) Additional Exemptions for First-time Adopters
HKFRS 2 (Amendment) Group Cash-settled Share-based Payment Transactions
HKFRS 3 (Revised) Business Combinations
HK(IFRIC)-Int 17 Distribution of Non-cash Assets to Owners
The Group applies HKFRS 3 (Revised) Business Combinations prospectively to
business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after January
1, 2010. The requirements in HKAS 27 (Revised) Consolidated and Separate
Financial Statements in relation to accounting for changes in ownership
interests in a subsidiary after control is obtained and for loss of control
of a subsidiary are also applied prospectively by the Group on or after
January 1, 2010.
As there was no transaction during the current interim period in which HKFRS
3 (Revised) and HKAS 27 (Revised) are applicable, the application of HKFRS 3
(Revised), HKAS 27 (Revised) and the consequential amendments to other HKFRSs
had no effect on the condensed consolidated financial statements of the Group
for the current or prior accounting periods.
Results of the Group in future periods may be affected by future transactions
for which HKFRS 3 (Revised), HKAS 27 (Revised) and the consequential
amendments to the other HKFRSs are applicable.
The application of the other new and revised HKFRSs had no material effect on
the condensed consolidated financial statements of the Group for the current
or prior accounting periods.
The Group has not early applied the following new and revised standards,
amendments or interpretations that have been issued but are not yet effective.
HKFRSs (Amendments) Improvements to HKFRSs 2010(1)
HKAS 32 (Amendment) Classification of Right Issues(2)
HKFRS 1 (Amendment) Limited Exemption from Comparative HKFRS 7
Disclosures for First-time Adopters(3)
HKFRS 9 Financial Instruments (relating to the classification
and measurement of financial assets)(5)
HK(IFRIC)-Int 14 (Amendment) Prepayments of a Minimum Funding Requirement(4)
HK(IFRIC)-Int 19 Extinguishing Financial Liabilities with Equity
Instruments 3
(1) Effective for annual periods beginning on or after July 1, 2010 or
January 1, 2011, as appropriate
(2) Effective for annual periods beginning on or after February 1, 2010
(3) Effective for annual periods beginning on or after July 1, 2010
(4) Effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2011
(5) Effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013
HKFRS 9 Financial Instruments introduces new requirements for the
classification and measurement of financial assets and will be effective from
January 1, 2013, with earlier application permitted. The Standard requires
all recognised financial assets that are within the scope of HKAS 39
Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement to be measured at either
amortised cost or fair value. Specifically, debt investments that (i) are
held within a business model whose objective is to collect the contractual
cash flows and (ii) have contractual cash flows that are solely payments of
principal and interest on the principal outstanding are generally measured at
amortised cost. All other debt investments and equity investments are
measured at fair value. The application of HKFRS 9 might affect the
classification and measurement of the Group's financial assets.
The directors of the Company anticipate that the application of the other new
and revised standards, amendments or interpretations will have no material
impact on the results and the financial position of the Group.

16. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTION
The following is a summary of the major related party transactions arising
from the Group's daily operating activities:
1) Pursuant to the operation management agreement entered into between
Development Co and Zhejiang Expressway Petroleum Development Co., Ltd.
("Petroleum Co") in respect of the petrol stations in the service areas
along the Shanghai-Hangzhou-Ningbo and Shangsan Expressways, Petroleum Co
will with their expertise assist Development Co in running their petrol
stations along the Shanghai-Hangzhou-Ningbo and Shangsan Expressways.
Purchases of petroleum products from petroleum Co during the Period
amounted to Rmb616,596,000.
2) On May 20, 2010, the Company entered into the agreement with Zhejiang
Communications Investment Group Co., Ltd. ("Communications Investment
Group") and Yiwu Communications Development Co., Ltd., pursuant to which
the Company agree to inject a further capital to the amount of
Rmb23,450,000, in proportion to its share of capital contributions, into
Zhejiang Jinhua Yongjin Expressway Co., Ltd. ("Jinhua Co") by cash to
alleviate a shortage in project and working capital at Jinhua Co. After
the further capital injection by the Company and Communications
Investment Group, the registered capital of Jinhua Co increased from
Rmb800,000,000 to Rmb900,000,000 and the Company continued to own as to
23.45% in the capital of Jinhua Co.
Transactions and balances with other state-controlled entities in the PRC
The Group operates in an economic environment currently predominated by
entities directly or indirectly owned or controlled by the PRC government
("state-controlled entities"). In addition, the Group itself is part of a
larger group of companies under the Communications Investment Group which is
controlled by the PRC government. Apart from the transactions with the
Communications Investment Group and parties under the common control of the
Communications Investment Group, the Group also conducts business with other
state-controlled entities. The directors consider those state-controlled
entities are independent third parties so far as the Group's business
transactions with them are concerned.
The Group has entered into various transactions, including deposit
placements, borrowings and other general banking facilities, with certain
banks and financial institutions which are state-controlled entities in its
ordinary course of business. In view of the nature of those banking
transactions, the directors are of the opinion that separate disclosure
would not be meaningful.
In respect of the Group's tolled road business, the directors are of the
opinion that it is impracticable to ascertain the identity of counterparties
and accordingly whether the transactions are with other state-controlled
entities in the PRC.
17. CONTINGENT LIABILITIES AND PLEDGE OF ASSETS
The Group did not have any other contingent liabilities, pledge of assets or
guarantees as at June 30, 2010.
18. COMPARATIVE AMOUNTS
Certain comparative amounts have been reclassified to conform to the
Period's presentation.
19. EVENTS AFTER THE REPORTING PERIOD
As at the date of this report, the Company successively entered into equity
transfer agreements with the Vendor (with people including Ms Huang Qiuxia
as agents for various parties). Pursuant to the agreements, the Company
agrees to acquire, at a cash consideration of Rmb68,482,200 and on the terms
of the agreements, 34.6375% equity interests in Development Co. held by the
Vendor, of which 3.9% interests are owned by connected parties, namely
Directors Mr Jiang Wenyao, Mr Zhang Jingzhong and Supervisor Mr Fang Zhexing.
The transfer price is determined with reference to the net assets of
Development Co. as at the end of 2009 as audited by domestic auditors.
Please refer to the Company's announcement on connected transaction of
August 23 for details relating to the transfer of the connected parties'
equity interests in Development Co. The Company will further acquire the
