Positive group earnings did not imply a parent-company dividend
The parent company reported a FY2010 net loss of CNY 66,334,880.60 and negative retained earnings of CNY 197,980,055.42 at year-end. These parent figures are distinct from positive earnings attributable to the listed company owners in the consolidated accounts. Management proposed no FY2010 profit distribution and no conversion of capital reserve into shares, explaining the need to finance capacity expansion and the parent accumulated losses. The proposal still required approval at the annual general meeting; the annual report does not establish that the meeting had already approved it. The parent had 427,392,000 shares and CNY 53,696,990.29 of capital reserve. A capital reserve is not itself a cash balance or an announced dividend. For a foreign reader, the relevant distinction is between the operating group recovery, the legal parent distribution position and the approval stage of the proposal.
