(a) On 21 April 2004, Fly Top Limited, a wholly-owned subsidiary of CNAC,
entered into the following acquisition agreements which were supplemented on 26
April 2004:
(i) a share purchase agreement with Air China International Corporation in
relation to the acquisition of 60% of the equity interest in BACL (the 'BACL
Agreement') for a consideration of RMB294 million; and
(ii) a share purchase agreement with Air China International Corporation in
relation to the acquisition of 60% of the equity interest in SWACL (the 'SWACL
Agreement') for a consideration of RMB67 million.
On 12 November 2004, all the pre-completion undertakings of the BACL Agreement
and the SWACL Agreement were completed and these two acquisition agreements were
effective on that date accordingly.
On 20 April 2004, Air China International Corporation entered into a stock
transfer agreement with HKSACL (the 'HKSACL Agreement'), the minority
shareholder of SWACL, pursuant to which, Air China International Corporation
disposed of 15% of the equity interest in SWACL to HKSACL for a consideration of
approximately RMB17 million. On 12 November 2004, all the pre-completion
undertakings of the HKSACL Agreement were completed and this agreement was
effective on that date accordingly.
Immediately after the completion of the BACL Agreement, SWACL Agreement and
HKSACL Agreement, the Group's effective shareholding interests in BACL and SWACL
were diluted from 60% and 75%, respectively, to approximately 41%.
As a result of the completion of the BACL Agreement, SWACL Agreement and HKSACL
Agreement, the Group made a payment of approximately RMB378 million to CNAHC,
representing the total consideration payable by CNAC and HKSACL for the
acquisitions of the entire shareholding interests held by the Group in BACL and
SWACL pursuant to the Restructuring as set out in note 1 to these financial
statements. This payment has been made to CNAHC and accounted for as a special
distribution to CNAHC by the Company.
(b) In accordance with the ( ) 'Provisional Regulations Relating to Corporate
Reorganisation of Enterprises and Related Management of State-owned Capital and
Financial Treatment' notice issued by the Ministry of Finance, which became
effective from 27 August 2002, and pursuant to the Restructuring, after the
Company's incorporation, the Company is required to make a distribution to
CNAHC, which represents an amount equal to the net profit attributable to
shareholders, as determined based on the audited accounts prepared in accordance
with the accounting principles and the financial regulations applicable in the
PRC ('PRC GAAP'), generated during the period from 1 January 2004 to 30
September 2004 (the date of incorporation of the Company) by the businesses and
operations (excluding those of CNAC) contributed to the Group by CNAHC after
giving effect to relevant necessary adjustments. The net profit attributable to
shareholders mentioned above for the said period is calculated after deducting
the amount of income tax payable to CNAHC of approximately RMB191,721,000 which
in turn will settle the tax liability on profit arisen during that period with
the relevant tax bureau as detailed in note 12 to these financial statements.
In addition, in accordance with ( ) 'Provisional Regulations Relating to
Corporate Reorganisation of Enterprises and Related Management of State-owned
Capital and Financial Treatment' notice issued by the Ministry of Finance and
pursuant to the Restructuring, after the Company's incorporation, the Company is
required to make a distribution to CNACG, which represents an amount equal to
the net profit attributable to shareholders, as determined based on audited
accounts prepared in accordance with PRC GAAP, generated during the period from
1 January 2004 to 30 September 2004 (the date of incorporation of the Company)
by the businesses and operations (excluding those directly contributed by CNAHC)
contributed to the Group by the CNAC group, less the 2003 final dividend and
2004 interim dividend amounts already paid by CNAC to CNACG.
(c) The profit distributions made prior to the incorporation of the Company
represent the net assets which have been carved out and treated as deemed
distributions pursuant to the Restructuring set out in note 1 to these financial
statements and the dividends paid during that period.
The rates of dividend and the number of shares ranking for dividends for the
year ended 31 December 2004 are not presented in this footnote for those profit
distributions made prior to the incorporation of the Company as such information
is not considered meaningful.
(d) The proposed final dividend of RMB0.2383 per 10 shares for the year ended 31
December 2005 is subject to the approval of the Company's shareholders at the
forthcoming annual general meeting.
Cash dividends to shareholders in Hong Kong will be paid in Hong Kong dollars.
Following the incorporation of the Company, under the PRC Company Law and the
Company's articles of association, net profit after tax as reported in the PRC
statutory financial statements can only be distributed as dividends after
allowance has been made for the following:
(i) Making up prior years' cumulative losses, if any;
(ii) Allocations to the statutory common reserve fund of at least 10% of
after-tax profit, until the fund aggregates 50% of the Company's registered
capital. For the purpose of calculating the transfer to reserves, the profit
after tax shall be the amount determined under the PRC GAAP. The transfer to
this reserve must be made before any distribution of dividends to shareholders.
The statutory common reserve fund can be used to offset previous years' losses,
if any, and part of the statutory common reserve fund can be capitalised as the
Company's share capital provided that the amount of such reserve remaining after
the capitalisation shall not be less than 25% of the share capital of the
Company;
(iii) Allocations of 5% to 10% of after-tax profit, as determined under PRC
GAAP, to the Company's statutory public welfare fund, which will be established
for the purpose of providing for the Company's employees collective welfare
benefits such as the construction of dormitories, canteens and other staff
welfare facilities. The fund forms part of the shareholders' equity as only
individual employees can use these facilities, while the title of such
facilities is held by the Company. The transfer to this fund must be made before
any distribution of dividends to shareholders; and
(iv) Allocations to the discretionary common reserve if approved by the
shareholders.
The above reserves cannot be used for purposes other than those for which they
are created and are not distributable as cash dividends.
In accordance with the articles of association of the Company, the net profit
after tax of the Company for the purpose of dividends payment is based on the
lesser of (i) the net profit determined in accordance with PRC GAAP; and (ii)
the net profit determined in accordance with IFRSs.
Prior to the incorporation of the Company on 30 September 2004, no profit
appropriations to the aforesaid reserve funds were required.
14. EARNINGS PER SHARE ATTRIBUTABLE TO EQUITY HOLDERS OF THE PARENT
The calculation of basic earnings per share for the year ended 31 December 2005
is based on the net profit attributable to equity holders of the parent for the
year ended 31 December 2005 of approximately RMB2,406,256,000, and the weighted
average number of approximately 9,422,728,916 ordinary shares in issue during
the year, as adjusted to reflect the new issue of 382,592,727 H shares on the
exercise of the over-allotment options granted to international underwriters to
subscribe for the Company's H shares during the year.
The calculation of basic earnings per share for the year ended 31 December 2004
is based on the net profit attributable to equity holders of the parent for the
year ended 31 December 2004 of approximately RMB2,385,964,000, and the weighted
average number of approximately 6,618,795,915 ordinary shares in issue during
the year on the assumption that the 6,500,000,000 shares issued as at 30
September 2004 had been in issue throughout the year ended 31 December 2004, and
as adjusted to reflect the new issue of 2,550,618,182 H shares by way of placing
and public offering in connection with the public listing of the Company's H
shares on 15 December 2004.
Diluted earnings per share for the year ended 31 December 2005 has not been
disclosed because no diluting events existed during 2005.
The calculation of diluted earnings per share for the year ended 31 December
2004 was based on the net profit attributable to equity holders of the parent
for the year ended 31 December 2004 of approximately RMB2,385,964,000. The
weighted average number of ordinary shares used in the calculation is the
weighted average number of 6,618,795,915 ordinary shares in issue during the
year, as used in the basic earnings per share calculation and the weighted
average of 556,132 ordinary shares assumed to have been issued at no
consideration on the deemed exercise of all over-allotment options granted to
international underwriters to subscribe for the Company's H shares during the
year.

Exchange adjustment (1,044) -
Goodwill at end of the year 1,444,367 1,404,966
Accumulated impairment - -
Notes:
(a) The goodwill brought forward from 2003 related to the acquisition of
shareholding interests of 35.86% and 7.43% in Dragonair by CNACG and its then
wholly-owned subsidiary, CNAC, in June 1996 and October 1997, respectively. The
aggregate goodwill arising from these two acquisitions was approximately
RMB2,130 million and subsequently reduced to approximately RMB1,205 million
through deemed disposal upon the initial public offering of CNAC and the
accumulated amortisation on the straight-line basis over a period of 20 years
until 1 January 2001 (the date of adoption of IFRS 3 by the Group).
(b) The goodwill arose in 2004 related to the acquisitions of effective
shareholding interests of 48.0% in Shandong Aviation, 22.8% in Shandong Airlines
and 13.9% in LSGHK by the Group, resulting in an aggregate goodwill amount of
approximately RMB200 million.
During the year, Shandong Aviation and Shandong Airlines restated their retained
earnings as at 31 December 2004 and as such the goodwill, being calculated as
the excess of the cost of the business combination over the Group's interest in
the net fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent
liabilities of Shandong Aviation and Shandong Airlines arising on the
acquisitions of shareholding interests in these two companies, were adjusted
accordingly.
Impairment testing of goodwill attributable to Dragonair, Shandong Airlines and
Shandong Aviation
Goodwill acquired through the business combination in relation to the
acquisition of shareholding interests in Dragonair, Shandong Airlines and
Shandong Aviation has been allocated to the cash-generating unit, Dragonair,
Shandong Airlines and Shandong Aviation, within the airline operations segment.
The recoverable amount of Dragonair has been determined based on a value in use
calculation. To calculate this, cash flow projections are based on financial
budgets approved by management covering a one-year period. The discount rate
applied to the cash flow projections beyond the one-year period is 5.0% (2004:
5.0%). No growth has been projected beyond the one-year period.
Key assumptions used in the value in use calculation of Dragonair, Shandong
Airlines and Shandong Aviation
The following describes each key assumption on which management has based its
cash flow projections when undertaking the impairment testing of goodwill
attributable to Dragonair, Shandong Airlines and Shandong Aviation:
Passenger revenue - the bases used to determine the value assigned to the
budgeted passenger revenue are available seat kilometers, passenger traffic,
passenger load factor and passenger yield. Values assigned to the key
assumptions reflect past experience and are consistent with external information
sources.
Operating expenses - the bases used to determine the values assigned are staff
headcount, scheduled flight hours, passenger traffic and jet fuel consumption.
Values assigned to the key assumptions reflect past experience and are
consistent with external information sources.
20. LONG TERM RECEIVABLE FROM CNAHC
On 30 September 2004, the Company entered into an agreement with CNAHC whereby
CNAHC agreed to assume the obligation to settle an aggregate amount of
approximately RMB757 million, which was recorded by the Group as government
grant receivable as at 31 December 2003 of RMB842 million, consisting of long
term portion and short term portion of RMB764 million and RMB78 million,
respectively. This receivable from CNAHC is unsecured, interest-free and
repayable over eight years commencing from 31 December 2004 by 16 semi-annual
instalments to be made by 30 June and 31 December each year. Pursuant to the
relevant agreement, the first instalment amount of RMB25 million was settled by
31 December 2004 and the final instalment amount of approximately RMB32 million
shall be settled by 30 June 2012, with the remaining 14 semi-annual instalment
amounts of RMB50 million each to be settled by 30 June and 31 December each year
between 30 June 2005 and 31 December 2011.

Certain lease financing arrangements comprised finance leases between the
Company and certain of its subsidiaries, and the corresponding borrowings
between such subsidiaries and banks. The Company has guaranteed the
subsidiaries' obligations under the bank borrowings and, accordingly, the
aforesaid assets and obligations are recorded in the balance sheets to reflect
the substance of the transactions. The future payments under these leases have
therefore been presented by the Company and the Group in the amounts that
reflect the payments under the bank borrowings between the subsidiaries and the
banks.
At 31 December 2005, there were 21 (2004: 23) aircraft under finance lease
agreements. Under the terms of the leases, the Company has the option to
purchase, at the end of or during the lease terms, certain aircraft at fair
market value and others at either fair market value or at the price as
stipulated in the finance lease agreements. For the current year, the effective
borrowing rate ranged from 1.64% to 9.84% (2004: 1.64% to 9.13%).
The Group's and the Company's finance leases were secured by:
(a) mortgages over certain of the Group's and the Company's aircraft, which had
an aggregate carrying value of approximately RMB10,487 million as at 31 December
2005 (2004: RMB11,999 million) (note 15);
(b) the pledge of certain of the Group's and the Company's bank deposits
amounting to approximately RMB16 million as at 31 December 2004 (note 26); and
(c) guarantees by certain commercial banks in an aggregate amount of
approximately RMB12,044 million (2004: RMB14,785 million).
As at 31 December 2005, certain PRC state-owned banks have provided
counter-guarantees in an aggregate amount of RMB2,521 million (2004: RMB3,074
million) in respect of the commercial bank guarantee arrangements set out in
note 32 (c) above. At 31 December 2004, CNAHC and CNAF, in turn, provided
counter-guarantees to certain of these PRC state-owned banks in the amounts of
RMB921 million and RMB3,976 million (note 46), respectively. These
counter-guarantees provided by CNAHC and CNAF were released during the year.

Notes:
(a) As described in note 1 to these financial statements, the financial
statements of the Group for the year ended 31 December 2004 have been prepared
as if the Group had been in existence throughout the year and as if the Relevant
Businesses and the interests in the Relevant Companies were transferred to the
Company prior to 1 January 2004. Upon incorporation of the Company on 30
September 2004, the historical net asset value of the Relevant Businesses and
the interests in the Relevant Companies transferred to the Company were
converted into the Company's registered capital as described in note
37 (c) to these financial statements with all the then existing reserves
eliminated and the resulting difference dealt with in the capital reserve and
retained earnings. Accordingly, the aggregate of the capital reserve and
retained earnings amounts, being the difference between the amount of share
capital issued and the historical net asset value of the Relevant Businesses and
the interests in the Relevant Companies transferred to the Company as at 30
September 2004, were presented in the reserves of both the Group and the
Company.
Retained earnings of the Company and the Group upon incorporation of the Company
represent the amounts set aside for distributions, details of which are set out
in note 13 to these financial statements. Therefore, these amounts were not
capitalised by the Company and the Group upon the Company's incorporation.
(b) Details of the distributions are set out in note 13 to these financial
statements.
39. LONG TERM COMPENSATION PLAN
The Company has adopted a long term compensation plan (the 'Plan') which was
approved by the shareholders on 18 October 2004 for the purpose of motivating
its employees. The Plan provides for the grant of share appreciation rights
('SARs') to eligible participants, including the Company's Directors (excluding
independent non-executive Directors), supervisors (excluding independent
supervisors), president, vice presidents, heads of key departments in the
Company's headquarters, general managers and general deputy managers of
principal branches and subsidiaries as well as selected senior professionals and
key specialists. In any event, SARs will be granted to no more than 200
individuals. The Plan will remain in force unless otherwise cancelled or
amended.
Under the Plan, the holders of SARs are entitled the rights to receive an amount
in respect of the appreciation in market value of the Company's H shares from
the date of grant of SARs and the date of exercise. No shares will be issued
under the Plan and therefore the Company's equity interests will not be diluted
as a result of the issuance of SARs. The maximum number of unexercised SARs
permitted to be granted under the Plan is, upon their exercise, limited to 2% of
the Company's H shares in issue at any time during each year. The maximum number
of SARs granted to eligible participants under the Plan within any 12-month
period is, upon their exercise, limited to 0.4% of the Company's H shares in
issue at any time during each year. The maximum number of SARs granted to any
eligible participant is limited to 10% of the total number of unexercised SARs
in issue at any time during each year. Any further grant of SARs in excess of
the above limits is subject to shareholders' approval in general meetings.
The exercise period of all SARs commences after a vesting period and ends on a
date which is not later than five years from the date of grant of the SARs. As
at each of the last day of the second, third and fourth anniversary of the date
of grant, the total number of SARs exercisable will not exceed 30%, 70% and
100%, respectively, of the total SARs granted to the respective eligible
participants.
The exercise price of SARs will be equal to the average closing price of the
Company's H shares on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange for the five consecutive
trading days immediately preceding the date of the grant.
As at 31 December 2005 and 31 December 2004, no SARs had been issued under the
Plan.
