Need a detailed analysis including ratio and trend analysis.

The entire analysis also needs to be done in the context of the article attached.

In terms of the part of the question that ask about the quality of reported earnings, I think that it has to do with the fact that the company applied aging method for its accounts receivable throughout 2002 and 2004, but in year 2004, it set aside Rmb2,597m as a special bad debt allowance.

Schipper (1989) de?nes earnings management as a "purposeful intervention in the external ?nancial reporting process, with the intent of obtaining some private gain (as opposed to say, merely facilitating the neutral operation of the process)".

Earnings management can be defined as the adjustment of a firms' reported economic performance by insiders either to mislead some stakeholders or to influence contractual outcomes.
