In 2024 though the development of the global economy showed resilience with steady economic
growth global economic recovery experienced pressure from intensifying geopolitical situation
rising trade protectionism and more rapid increase in global debt size. In the context of significant
regional differences in global economic growth the developed economies continued to diverge
from emerging markets in terms of performance with relatively weak anticipated growth. The rising
uncertainties brought challenges regarding enterprise daily operation and management. In the face
of the complicated external environment the Company has taken “high-quality development” as the
main line and “Global Presence” “Lean Management” and “Innovative Transformation” as the
drivers to consolidate its fundamental feature of homebase ports with effective implementation of
lean management. It has been breaking new grounds adopting collaborative innovation and upgrade
of digital intelligence in contribution to full achievement of all efficiency targets.Financial performance: In 2024 the Company achieved an operating income of RMB16131 million
up by 2.41% year-on-year. The net profit attributable to the listed company’s shareholders reached
RMB4516 million up by 26.44% year-on-year.Business performance: In terms of container business the Company handled a total container

throughput of the West Shenzhen Port Zone and CICT in Sri Lanka both achieved record highs with
steady improvement in operational indicators achieving milestone results in the progress of
building world’s leading ports. Secondly the overseas expansion of China Merchants Port the
Company’s holding subsidiary has also been solidly promoted as the completion of the acquisition
of 51% equity interest in NPH in Indonesia the first step in Indonesia market to further expand the
layout in Southeast Asia. As the overseas existing projects have shown positive developments in
multiple aspects business volume of the overseas controlling terminals CICT TCP and LCT in Sri

adjustments. Major international events such as the Russia-Ukraine conflict the Palestinian Israeli
conflict and the Red Sea crisis are expected to persist. The issue of global divergence has been
growing especially in emerging markets and developing economies and regional divergence has
become increasingly obvious. The stable recovery of the global economy is facing challenges
amidst the persistent adjustment cycle. 2025 is the final year of the “14th Five-Year Plan” and also

Part III Management Discussion and Analysis
I. Industry Overview of the Company during the reporting period
1. External environment analysis
(1) Macroeconomic environment
In 2024 though the development of the global economy showed resilience with steady economic
growth global economic recovery experienced pressure from intensifying geopolitical situation
rising protectionism and more rapid increase in global debt size. There were significant differences
in regional growth. The developed economies have been diverging from emerging markets in terms
of performance with relatively weak anticipated growth while emerging and developing economies
continued to be the drivers of the global economy with relatively strong performance. According to
the “World Economic Outlook” report published by the International Monetary Fund (IMF) in
January 2025 the global economy was expected to increase by 3.2% year-on-year in 2024
representing a decline of 0.1 percentage point year-on-year. Among them the developed economies
were expected to grow by 1.7% remaining flat year-on-year while emerging and developing
economies were expected to grow by 4.2% down by 0.2 percentage point year-on-year. In terms of
trade the IMF forecasted that global trade value grew by 3.4% year-on-year in 2024. Despite
various challenges global trade still presents strong resilience.Under the background of the complex and severe situation China adhered to the general principle
of seeking progress while maintaining stability. The national economic development remained
stable and making progress which thanked to comprehensive implementation of new development
concept accelerating construction of a new development pattern and solid promotion of high-
quality development. Meanwhile the timely deployment of a series of incremental policies of China
b 6 oosted the society’s confidence and significant economic recovery which enabled successful
accomplishment of the economic and social development major tasks. According to the data from
the National Bureau of Statistics of the People’s Republic of China China’s GDP grew by 5% year-
on-year in 2024 and the major development targets were successfully achieved. According to the
statistics of the General Administration of Customs of the People’s Republic of China the total
value of import and export trade for the year amounted to RMB43.85 trillion up by 5.0% year-on-
year marking another record high in terms of scale. Among which the value of exports grew by
7.1% year-on-year to RMB25.45 trillion while the value of imports grew by 2.3% year-on-year to
RMB18.39 trillion. The value of imports and exports with the Belt and Road countries grew by
6.4% year-on-year accounting for 50.3% of the value of total imports and exports.
The global industrial chain and supply chain saw a fragmented and regionalized development. Since
the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP) came into effect three years ago it
effectively stimulated regional co-operation exemplifying that open development and free trade are
conducive to economic growth and market prosperity. According to the data of the General
Administration of Customs of the People’s Republic of China import and export trade value in
RMB denominated between China and member countries including Singapore Vietnam Malaysia
16China Merchants Port Group Co. Ltd. Annual Report 2024
recorded an increase of 3.9% 14.6% and 12.7% year-on-year in 2024 respectively. The
development of digital intelligence technologies such as big data artificial intelligence cloud
computing Internet of Things and blockchain has brought new directions to the international
economy and trade mitigated the information asymmetry in the trade process changed the
international supply and demand relationship and had a far-reaching impact on the trade model
trade structure and trade pattern. The gradual advancement and improvement of the platform-based
trade ecosystem would further improve the utilization rate of production factors and trade operation
efficiency.Looking ahead to 2025 the global economy will rebound but the momentum of economic growth
is insufficient and the uncertain risks will increase owing to the geopolitical tensions strengthened
protectionism and tighter financial environment. IMF estimates that the global economy will grow
by 3.3% in 2025 up 0.1 percentage points over 2024; global trade in goods and services will
rebound steadily and is estimated to grow by 3.2% in 2025 an decrease of 0.2 percentage point
from 2024. Global inflationary pressure will continue to decline and the global Consumer Price
Index (CPI) is estimated to be around 4.2% in 2025 a drop of 1.5 percentage points from 2024.In 2025 China’s economy still faces multiple challenges in the process of recovery. The insufficient
domestic effective demand alongside with operation pressure on some enterprises the
accumulation of potential risks intertwined with internal structural contradictions as well as the
worsening of uncertainties in the international environment and the overlapping of internal and
external pressures pose challenges to stable growth. At present China’s economy has a solid
foundation with obvious advantages sufficient resilience to resist risks and abundant endogenous
energy and its long-term positive fundamentals and growth logic have not been fundamentally
shaken. Relying on its position as a core hub in the global industrial chain and the resilience of its
imports and exports China is able to systematically integrate multi-dimensional resources
effectively converge policy and market energies and continue to anchor itself in the main line of
high-quality development so as to upgrade the quality of its economic structure. In the next stage
China will adhere to the principle of seeking progress while maintaining stability accelerate the
construction of a new development pattern promote high-quality development further deepen
reforms on all fronts expand high-level external opening build a modernized industrial system
better coordinate development and security implement more proactive macro policies expand
domestic demand promote the integration of scientific and technological innovations and industrial
innovations and prevent and mitigate the risks of and external shocks in key areas.
(2) Market environment of the port and shipping industry
The international port and shipping market environment has undergone significant new changes due
to multi-interwoven factors. Firstly under the impact of the world economy and international trade
trade frictions and geopolitical conflicts have continuously exposed the vulnerability of the global
industrial chain and supply chain prompting the developed countries to intervene strongly with the
aim of transforming towards the industrial supply chain short-chain nearshoring and friendshoring.Secondly changes in the situation at key maritime transport nodes have also posed serious
challenges to the global supply chain. The instability in the Red Sea a key stronghold in
17China Merchants Port Group Co. Ltd. Annual Report 2024
international maritime transport has triggered chain effects such as rerouting and shipping
costs/freight rates surge which have affected shipping of many countries. Thirdly under the
influence of the shipping alliance pattern there will be significant changes in the container shipping
alliance which will lead to more intense competition in global trade routes and increase the
instability of global shipping and supply chain.In 2024 global demand for container shipping sustained at a high level while international freight
rates experienced an overall downward trend. On the demand side the container shipping market
continued to enjoy a high boom realizing a double increase in volume and distance. The growth in
trade volume was mainly due to the strong demand from North America which drove Asian exports.The Baltic and International Maritime Council (BIMCO) expected cargo volumes to grow by 4% to
5% in 2024. On the supply side Alphaliner’s data showed that the global container fleet capacity
grew by 10.2% in 2024 with additional shipping capacity of 2.91 million TEUss hitting a record
high in terms of growth rate. Based on the structure of supply and demand the shipping capacity
supply outstripped the increase in demand and on the supply side there was no longer any marginal
impact due to rerouting to the Cape of Good Hope. As such freight rates sustained the downward
momentum. However compared to 2023 freight rates and long-term contractual price recorded
substantial increases year-on-year. In addition with an aim to meet the increasingly diversified
service needs of customers mainstream shipping companies have actively changed their business
strategies and continued to exert efforts in key areas such as extension of the logistics supply chain
shipping finance and digital intelligence and green and low-carbon services in a bid to provide their
customers with services of better efficiency and quality as well as broader range. Thus the
shipping market has entered a new stage of competition.Driven by the recovery of the global economy and trade as well as the upward trend in the
international shipping market throughput at major hub ports increased to varying degrees.According to the forecast of Drewry excluding the Middle East ports across regions showed
varying degrees of growth in 2024. Among which the ports in Asia handled a throughput of 514
million TEUs representing an increase of 5.9% year-on-year; the ports in Southeast Asia handled a
throughput of 38.24 million TEUs representing an increase of 8.9% year-on-year; the ports in
Europe and North America handled throughput of 141 million TEUs and 78.19 million TEUs
respectively representing increases of 5.9% and 12.2% year-on-year; the ports in Africa and Latin
America handled throughput of 37.69 million TEUs and 57.13 million TEUs respectively
representing increases of 9.1% and 10.1% year-on-year; and the ports in the Middle East handled a
throughput of 37.86 million TEUs representing a decrease of 12.2% year-on-year. Thanks to the
overall upturn in China’s economic performance and the continuous economy-driven trade effect
foreign trade imports and exports was steadily improved and the port business in Mainland China
maintained its leading position in global growth. According to the data released by the National
Bureau of Statistics in 2024 China's ports completed a cumulative cargo throughput of 17.6 billion
tons an increase of 3.7%. The accumulated container throughput of 332 million TEU an increase
of 7.0%.

IV. Other Information
China Merchants Port Group’s management is responsible for the other information. The other
information comprises all the information included in 2024 annual report of China Merchants Port Group
other than the financial statements and our auditor's report thereon.Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any
form of assurance conclusion thereon.In connection with our audit of the financial statements our responsibility is to read the other
information and in doing so consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the
financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially
misstated.If based on the work we have performed we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other
information we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.V. Responsibilities of the Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Financial
Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in
accordance with the Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises and for the design implementation
and maintenance of such internal control necessary to enable that the financial statements are free from
material misstatement whether due to fraud or error.In preparing the financial statements management is responsible for assessing China Merchants Port
Group’s ability to continue as a going concern disclosing as applicable matters related to going concern
and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate China
Merchants Port Group or to cease operations or has no realistic alternative but to do so.Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing China Merchants Port Group’s financial
reporting process.- 5 -AUDITOR'S REPORT - continued毕马威华振审字第2507318号
VI. Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are
free from material misstatement whether due to fraud or error and to issue an auditor’s report that
includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not a guarantee that an
audit conducted in accordance with CSAs will always detect a material misstatement when it exists.Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if individually or in the
aggregate they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the
basis of these financial statements.As part of an audit in accordance with CSAs we exercise professional judgement and maintain
professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:
* Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements whether due to
fraud or error design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks and obtain audit evidence
that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material
misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error as fraud may involve
collusion forgery intentional omissions misrepresentations or the override of internal control.* Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures
that are appropriate in the circumstances.* Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting
estimates and related disclosures made by management.* Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting
and based on the audit evidence obtained whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or
conditions that may cast significant doubt on China Merchants Port Group’s ability to continue as a
going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists we are required to draw attention in our
auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or if such disclosures are inadequate
to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our
auditor’s report. However future events or conditions may cause China Merchants Port Group to cease
to continue as a going concern.* Evaluate the overall presentation structure and content of the financial statements including the
disclosures and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a
manner that achieves fair presentation.* Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or
business activities within China Merchants Port Group to express an opinion on the financial statements.We are responsible for the direction supervision and performance of the group audit. We remain solely
responsible for our audit opinion.- 6 -AUDITOR'S REPORT - continued毕马威华振审字第2507318号
VI. Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements - continued
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding among other matters the planned
scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings including any significant deficiencies in
internal control that we identify during our audit.We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant
ethical requirements regarding independence and communicate with them all relationships and other
matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence and where applicable related
safeguards.From the matters communicated with those charged with governance we determine those matters that
were of most significance in the audit of the financial statements of the current period and are therefore
the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation
precludes public disclosure about the matter or when in extremely rare circumstances we determine
that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so
would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.KPMG Huazhen LLP Certified Public Accountants

The Group has adopted the Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises (hereinafter referred to
as "ASBE") issued by the Ministry of Finance. In addition the Group has disclosed relevant
financial information in accordance with Information Disclosure and Presentation Rules for
Companies Offering Securities to the Public No. 15 - General Provisions on Financial Reporting
(Revised in 2023).Going concern

2. Operating cycle
Business cycle refers to the period from the purchase of assets for processing to the realization of
cash or cash equivalents. The Group is actually engaged in the principal operating activities of port
services bonded logistics services and other businesses such as property development and
investment.
3. Functional currency
The Company’s functional currency is Renminbi (hereinafter referred to as "RMB") and these
financial statements are presented in RMB. The Company and its domestic subsidiaries use RMB
as their bookkeeping base currency. The Company's overseas subsidiaries determine their
functional currency according to the currency in the primary economic environment in which they
operate. The Company adopts RMB to prepare its financial statements.
4. Basis of accounting and principle of measurement
The Group has adopted the accrual basis of accounting. Except for financial instruments which are
measured at fair value the Group adopts the historical cost as the principle of measurement of the
financial statements. Upon being restructured into a stock company the fixed assets and intangible
assets initially contributed by the state-owned shareholders are recognized based on the valuation
amounts confirmed by the state-owned assets administration department. Where assets are impaired
provisions for asset impairment are made in accordance with the relevant requirements.Where the historical cost is adopted as the measurement basis assets are recorded at the amount of
cash or cash equivalents paid or the fair value of the consideration given to acquire them at the time
of their acquisition. Liabilities are recorded at the amount of proceeds or assets received or the
contractual amounts for assuming the present obligation or at the amounts of cash or cash
equivalents expected to be paid to settle the liabilities in the normal course of business.Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an
orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date regardless of whether that
price is directly observable or estimated using valuation technique. Fair value measurement and
disclosure in the financial statements are determined according to the above basis.In the measurement of non-financial assets at fair value market participants' ability to best utilize
such assets to generate most economic benefits or the ability to sell such assets to other market
participants who are able to best utilize the assets to generate economic benefits is taken into
account.For financial assets of which transaction prices are the fair value on initial recognition and of which
valuation technique involving unobservable input is used in subsequent measurement the valuation
technique in the course of valuation is adjusted to enable the result of initial recognition based on
the valuation technique equal to the transaction price.- 24 -CHINA MERCHANTS PORT GROUP CO. LTD.NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

4. Basis of accounting and principle of measurement - continued
Fair value measurements are categorized into Level 1 2 or 3 based on the degree to which the inputs
to the fair value measurements are observable and the significance of the inputs to the fair value
measurement in its entirety which are described as follows:
* Level 1 inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that
the entity can access at the measurement date;
* Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable
for the asset or liability either directly or indirectly; and
* Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.

6. Business combinations
Business combinations are classified into business combinations involving enterprises under
common control and business combinations not involving enterprises under common control.
6.1 Business combinations involving enterprises under common control
A business combination involving enterprises under common control is a business combination in
which all of the combining enterprises are ultimately controlled by the same party or parties both
before and after the combination and that control is not transitory.Assets and liabilities obtained by the combining party shall be measured at their respective carrying
amounts as recorded by the final controlling party in the consolidated financial statements at the
date of the combination. The difference between share of the carrying amount of the net assets
obtained and the carrying amount of the consideration paid for the combination (or total par value
of issued shares) is adjusted to the share premium in capital reserve. If the share premium is not
sufficient to absorb the difference any excess shall be adjusted against surplus reserve and retained
earnings in turn.Costs that are directly attributable to the combination are charged to profit or loss in the period in
which they are incurred. The merger date is the date on which the combining party actually obtains
control over the combined party.
6.2 Business combinations not involving enterprises under common control
A business combination not involving enterprises under common control is a business combination
in which all of the combining enterprises are not ultimately controlled by the same party or parties
before and after the combination.The cost of combination is the aggregate of the fair values at the acquisition date of the assets
given liabilities incurred or assumed and equity securities issued by the acquirer in exchange for
control of the acquiree. The intermediary expenses (fees in respect of auditing legal services
valuation and consultancy services etc.) and other general and administrative expenses attributable
to the business combination are recognized in profit or loss in the periods when they are incurred.The acquiree's identifiable assets liabilities and contingent liabilities acquired by the acquirer in a
business combination that meet the recognition criteria shall be measured at fair value at the
acquisition date. The acquisition date refers to the date on which the acquirer actually obtains
control over the acquiree.- 26 -CHINA MERCHANTS PORT GROUP CO. LTD.NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

6.2 Business combinations not involving enterprises under common control - continued
Where the cost of combination exceeds the acquirer's interest in the fair value of the acquiree's
identifiable net assets after considering the impact of relevant deferred income tax the difference
is treated as an asset and recognized as goodwill which is measured at cost on initial recognition.Where the cost of combination is less than the acquirer's interest in the fair value of the acquiree's
identifiable net assets the acquirer reassesses the measurement of the fair values of the acquiree's
identifiable assets liabilities and contingent liabilities and measurement of the cost of combination.If after that reassessment the cost of combination is still less than the acquirer's interest in the fair
value of the acquiree's identifiable net assets the acquirer recognizes the remaining difference
immediately in profit or loss for the current period.
7. Goodwill
Goodwill arising from a business combination is measured at cost less accumulated impairment
losses and is presented separately in the consolidated financial statements. Goodwill shall be
subject to impairment testing at least at the end of each year.The impairment testing of goodwill shall be conducted in combination with the relevant assets
group or assets group combination. That is since the purchase date the book value of goodwill is
apportioned to the assets group or combination of assets groups that can benefit from the synergistic
effect of business combination in a reasonable way. If the recoverable amount of the assets group
or combination of assets groups containing apportioned goodwill is lower than its book value the
corresponding impairment loss is recognized. The amount of impairment loss shall first offset the
book value of goodwill apportioned to the assets group or assets group portfolio and then offset the
book value of other assets in proportion to the proportion of the book value of other assets other
than goodwill in the assets group or assets group portfolio.The recoverable amount is the higher of the net amount of the fair value of the assets minus the
disposal expenses and the present value of the estimated future cash flow of the assets.The impairment loss of goodwill shall be included in the current profit and loss when it occurs and
shall not be reversed in future accounting periods.- 27 -CHINA MERCHANTS PORT GROUP CO. LTD.NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(IV) SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES - continued
8. Consolidated financial statements
The consolidation scope of consolidated financial statements is determined on the basis of control.Control exists when the investor has power over the investee; is exposed or has rights to variable
returns from its involvement with the investee; and has the ability to use its power over the investee
to affect its returns. The Group reassesses whether or not it controls an investee if facts and
circumstances indicate that there are changes in the above elements of the definition of control.Consolidation of a subsidiary begins when the Group obtains control over the subsidiary and ceases
when the Group loses control of the subsidiary.For a subsidiary already disposed of by the Group the operating results and cash flows before the
date of disposal (the date when control is lost) are included in the consolidated income statement
and consolidated cash flow statement as appropriate.For subsidiaries acquired through a business combination involving enterprises not under common
control when preparing the consolidated financial statements of the current period the purchased
subsidiary will be included in the consolidation scope of the Company from the acquisition date on
the basis of the fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities of the purchased subsidiary
determined on the acquisition date. The operating results and cash flows from the acquisition date
(the date when control is obtained) are included in the consolidated income statement and
consolidated cash flow statement as appropriate.No matter when the business combination occurs in the reporting period subsidiaries acquired
through a business combination involving enterprises under common control when preparing the
consolidated financial statements of the current period the book value of each assets and liability
of the consolidated subsidiary in the final controller's financial statements is taken as the basis as
if they had been included in the scope of consolidation from the date when they first came under
the common control of the ultimate controlling party. Their operating results and cash flows from
the date when they first came under the common control of the ultimate controlling party are
included in the consolidated income statement and consolidated cash flow statement as appropriate.The significant accounting policies and accounting periods adopted by the subsidiaries are
determined based on the uniform accounting policies and accounting periods set out by the
Company.Where the accounting policies and accounting periods adopted by subsidiaries are inconsistent with
those of the Company appropriate adjustments are made to the subsidiaries' financial statements in
accordance with the accounting policies of the Company.All significant intra-group balances and transactions are eliminated on consolidation.- 28 -CHINA MERCHANTS PORT GROUP CO. LTD.NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

8. Consolidated financial statements - continued
The portion of subsidiaries' equity that is not attributable to the Company is treated as non-
controlling interests and presented as " non-controlling interests " in the consolidated balance sheet
under the line item of shareholders' equity. The portion of net profits or losses of subsidiaries for
the period attributable to non-controlling interests is presented as " non-controlling interests " in the
consolidated income statement under the line item of "net profit". The portion of comprehensive
income of subsidiaries for the period attributable to non-controlling interests is presented as "
attributable to non-controlling interests " in the consolidated income statement under the line item
of "total comprehensive income".When the amount of loss for the period attributable to the non-controlling shareholders of a
subsidiary exceeds the non-controlling shareholders' portion of the opening balance of owners'
equity of the subsidiary the excess amount is still allocated against non-controlling interests.Acquisition of non-controlling interests or disposal of interests in a subsidiary that does not result
in the loss of control over the subsidiary is accounted for as equity transactions. The carrying
amounts of the Company's interests and non-controlling interests are adjusted to reflect the changes
in their relative interests in the subsidiary. The difference between the amount by which the non-
controlling interests are adjusted and the fair value of the consideration paid or received is adjusted
to capital reserve. If the capital reserve is not sufficient to absorb the difference surplus reserve and
retained earnings shall be offset in turn.For the stepwise acquisition of equity interest till acquiring control after a few transactions and
leading to business combination not involving enterprises under common control it shall be dealt
with based on whether it belongs to 'package deal': if it belongs to 'package deal' it will be
accounted for as a transactions to acquire control; if it does not belong to 'package deal' it will be
accounted for as a transaction to acquire control on acquisition date and the fair value of acquiree'
shares held before acquisition date will be revalued and the difference between fair value and
carrying amount will be recognized in profit or loss of the current period; if acquiree' shares held
before acquisition date involve changes in other comprehensive income and other changes in
owners' equity under equity method it will be transferred to income of acquisition date.When the Group loses control over a subsidiary due to disposal of equity investment or other
reasons any retained interest is re-measured at its fair value at the date when control is lost. The
difference between the sum of the consideration obtained from the disposal of equity and the fair
value of the remaining equity less the share of the net assets of the parent company that should be
continuously calculated from the purchase date based on the original shareholding ratio is included
in the investment income of the current period when the control right is lost and at the same time
the goodwill is offset. Other comprehensive income associated with investment in the former
subsidiary is reclassified to investment income in the period in which control is lost.- 29 -CHINA MERCHANTS PORT GROUP CO. LTD.NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

When the Group loses control of a subsidiary in two or more arrangements (transactions) terms
and conditions of the arrangements (transactions) and their economic effects are considered. One
or more of the following indicate that the Group shall account for the multiple arrangements as a
'package deal': (i) they are entered into at the same time or in contemplation of each other; (ii) they
form a complete transaction designed to achieve an overall commercial effect; (iii) the occurrence
of one transaction is dependent on the occurrence of at least one other transaction; (iv) one
transaction alone is not economically justified but it is economically justified when considered
together with other transactions. Where the transactions of disposal of equity investments in a
subsidiary until the loss of control are assessed as a package deal these transactions are accounted
for as one transaction of disposal of a subsidiary with loss of control. Before losing control the
difference of consideration received on disposal and the share of net assets of the subsidiary
continuously calculated from acquisition date is recognized as other comprehensive income. When
losing control the cumulated other comprehensive income is transferred to profit or loss of the
period of losing control. If the transactions of disposal of equity investments in a subsidiary are not
assessed as a package deal these transactions are accounted for as unrelated transactions.
9. Joint arrangements
Joint venture arrangement refers to an arrangement jointly controlled by two or more participants.The joint venture arrangement of the Group has the following characteristics: (1) all participants
are bound by the arrangement; (2) Two or more participants exercise joint control over the
arrangement. None of the participants can control the arrangement alone and none of the
participants with joint control over the arrangement can prevent other participants or a combination
of participants from controlling the arrangement alone.Joint control refers to the common control over an arrangement according to relevant agreements
and the relevant activities of the arrangement must be agreed by the participants sharing the control
right before making decisions.There are two types of joint arrangements - joint operations and joint ventures. The classification is
based on the rights and obligations of the parties under the joint venture arrangement taking into
account factors such as the structure legal form and contractual terms of the arrangement. A joint
operation is a joint arrangement whereby the parties that have joint control of the arrangement have
rights to the assets and obligations for the liabilities relating to the arrangement. A joint venture is
a joint arrangement whereby the parties that have joint control of the arrangement have rights to the
net assets of the arrangement.The Group accounts for investments in joint ventures using equity method. Refer to Note (IV)
14.3.2 "Long-term equity investments accounted for using the equity method" for details.

When a group entity undertakes its activities under joint operations the Group as a joint operator
recognizes in relation to its interest in a joint operation: - its assets including its share of any assets
held jointly; its liabilities including its share of any liabilities incurred jointly; its revenue from the
sale of its share of the output arising from the joint operation; its share of the revenue from the sale
of the output by the joint operation and its expenses including its share of any expenses incurred
jointly. The Group accounts for the assets liabilities revenues and expenses relating to its interest
in a joint operation in accordance with the accounting standards applicable to the particular assets
liabilities revenues and expenses.
10. Cash and cash equivalents
Cash comprises cash on hand and deposits that can be readily withdrawn on demand. Cash
equivalents are the Group's short-term (generally due within 3 months since the acquisition date)
highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are
subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.
11. Financial instruments
The Group recognizes a financial asset or a financial liability when it becomes a party to the
contractual provisions of the financial instrument.For financial assets purchased or sold in regular ways assets to be received and liabilities to be
assumed are recognized on the transaction date or assets sold are derecognized on that date.Financial assets and financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value (the method for
determining the fair values of the financial assets and financial liabilities is set out in related
disclosures under "basis of accounting and principle of measurement" in note (IV) 4). For financial
assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss transaction costs are immediately
recognized in profit or loss. For other financial assets and financial liabilities transaction costs are
included in their initial recognized amounts. Upon initial recognition of contract assets bills
receivable and accounts receivable that do not contain significant financing component or without
considering the financing component included in the contract with a term not exceeding one year
under the Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises No. 14 - Revenue (hereinafter referred to
as "Revenue Standards") the Group adopts the transaction price as defined in the Revenue
Standards for initial measurement.When there is a difference between the fair value of financial assets or financial liabilities initially
recognized and the transaction price if the fair value is not determined based on the quotation of
the same assets or liabilities in the active market or based on the valuation technology only using
observable market data no gains or losses will be recognized when the financial assets or financial
liabilities are initially recognized.- 31 -CHINA MERCHANTS PORT GROUP CO. LTD.NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortized cost of a financial asset or a
financial liability and of allocating the interest income or interest expenses over the relevant
accounting periods.The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash flows through the
expected life of the financial asset or financial liability to the book value of the financial asset or to
the amortized cost of the financial liability. When calculating the effective interest rate the Group
estimates future cash flows considering all contractual terms of the financial asset or financial
liability (such as repayment in advance extension call option or other similar options etc.) (without
considering the expected credit losses).The amortized cost of a financial asset or a financial liability is the amount of a financial asset or a
financial liability initially recognized net of principal repaid plus or less the cumulative amortized
amount arising from amortization of the difference between the amount initially recognized and the
amount at the maturity date using the effective interest method net of cumulative credit loss
allowance (only applicable to financial assets).
11.1 Classification recognition and measurement of financial assets
Subsequent to initial recognition the Group's financial assets of various categories are subsequently
measured at amortized cost at fair value through other comprehensive income or at fair value
through profit or loss.If the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely
payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding and the financial asset is
held within a business model whose objective is achieved by collecting contractual cash flows the
Group classifies such financial asset as financial assets at amortized cost which include cash and
bank balances bills receivable accounts receivable other receivables and long-term receivables
etc.If the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely
payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding and the financial asset is
held within a business model whose objective is achieved by both collecting contractual cash flows
and selling the financial asset the Group classifies such financial asset as financial assets at
FVTOCI. The accounts receivable and bills receivable classified as at FVTOCI upon acquisition
are presented under receivables under financing while the remaining items due within one year
(inclusive) upon acquisition are presented under other current assets. Other financial assets of such
type are presented as other debt investments if they are due after one year since the acquisition or
presented under non-current assets due within one year if they are due within one year (inclusive)
since the balance sheet date.- 32 -CHINA MERCHANTS PORT GROUP CO. LTD.NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

On initial recognition the Group may irrevocably designate non-trading equity instruments other
than contingent consideration recognized through business combination not involving enterprises
under common control as financial assets at FVTOCI on an individual basis. Such financial assets
at FVTOCI are presented as investments in other equity instruments.A financial asset is classified as held for trading if one of the following conditions is satisfied:
* It has been acquired principally for the purpose of selling in the near term; or
* On initial recognition it is part of a portfolio of identified financial instruments that the Group
manages together and there is objective evidence that the Group has a recent actual pattern of
short-term profit-taking; or
* Related financial assets are derivatives. However the derivatives meeting the definition of
financial guarantee contract and those designated as effective hedging instruments are
excluded.Financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss (hereinafter referred to as "FVTPL")
include those classified as financial assets at FVTPL and those designated as financial assets at
FVTPL.* Financial assets not satisfying the criteria of classification as financial assets at amortized cost
and financial assets at FVTOCI are classified as financial assets at FVTPL.* Upon initial recognition the Group may irrevocably designate the financial assets at FVTPL
if doing so eliminates or significantly reduces accounting mismatch.Financial assets at FVTPL other than derivative financial assets are presented as financial assets
held for trading. Financial assets with a maturity over one year since the balance sheet date (or
without a fixed maturity) and expected to be held for over one year are presented under other non-
current financial assets.
11.1.1 Financial assets measured at amortized cost
Financial assets measured at amortized cost are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the
effective interest method. Gain or loss arising from impairment or derecognition is recognized in
profit or loss.- 33 -CHINA MERCHANTS PORT GROUP CO. LTD.NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For financial assets measured at amortized cost the Group recognizes interest income using
effective interest method. The Group calculates and recognizes interest income through book value
of financial assets multiplying effective interest rate except for the following circumstances:
* For purchased or originated credit-impaired financial assets the Group calculates and
recognizes the interest income based on amortized cost of the financial asset and the effective
interest rate through credit adjustment since initial recognition.* For financial assets that have not suffered from credit impairment but have become credit
impairment in subsequent periods the Group will calculate and determine their interest
income according to the amortized cost and effective interest rate of the financial assets in
subsequent periods. If the financial instruments no longer has credit impairment due to the
improvement of its credit risk in the subsequent period and this improvement can be related
to an event that occurs after the application of the above provisions the Group will calculate
and determine interest income by multiplying the actual interest rate by the book value of the
financial asset.
11.1.2 Financial assets at FVTOCI
For financial assets classified as at FVTOCI except for the impairment losses or gains and the
interest income and exchange losses or gains calculated using the effective interest method which
are included in profit or loss for the period the changes in fair value are included in other
comprehensive income. The amounts included in profit or loss for each period are equivalent to that
as if the financial assets have been always measured at amortized cost. Upon derecognition the
accumulated gains or losses previously included in other comprehensive income are transferred to
profit or loss for the period.Changes in fair value of non-trading equity instrument investments designated as financial assets at
FVTOCI are recognized in other comprehensive income and the cumulative gains or losses
previously recognized in other comprehensive income allocated to the part derecognized are
transferred and included in retained earnings. During the period in which the Group holds the non-
trading equity instruments revenue from dividends is recognized in profit or loss for the current
period when (1) the Group has established the right of collecting dividends; (2) it is probable that
the associated economic benefits will flow to the Group; and (3) the amount of dividends can be
measured reliably.- 34 -CHINA MERCHANTS PORT GROUP CO. LTD.NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

11.2 Impairment of financial instruments
For financial assets at amortized cost financial assets classified as at FVTOCI lease receivables
contract assets loan commitments that are not financial liabilities at FVTPL financial liabilities
that are not at FVTPL and financial guarantee contracts that are not qualified for derecognition due
to the transfer of financial assets or financial liabilities arising from continuing involvement of the
transferred financial assets the Group accounts for the impairment and recognizes the provision for
losses on the basis of expected credit loss (hereinafter referred to as "ECL").For all contract assets bills receivable and accounts receivable arising from transactions regulated
by Revenue Standards and lease receivables arising from transactions regulated by the Accounting
Standards for Business Enterprises No. 21 - Leases the Group recognizes the provision for losses
at an amount equivalent to lifetime ECL.For other financial instruments (other than purchased or originated credit-impaired financial assets)
the Group assesses the changes in credit risk since initial recognition of relevant financial
instruments at each balance sheet date. If the credit risk has increased significantly since initial
recognition of the financial instruments the Group recognizes the provision for losses at an amount
equivalent to lifetime ECL; if the credit risk has not increased significantly since initial recognition
of the financial instruments the Group recognizes the provision for losses at an amount equivalent
to 12-month ECL. The increase or reversal of credit impairment for financial assets other than those
classified as at FVTOCI is recognized as impairment loss or gain and included in profit or loss for
the period. For financial assets classified as at FVTOCI the provision for bad debts is recognized
in other comprehensive income and the impairment loss or gain is included in profit or loss for the
period without reducing the carrying amount of the financial assets in the balance sheet.Where the Group has measured the provision for losses at an amount equivalent to lifetime ECL of
a financial instrument in prior accounting period but the financial instrument no longer satisfies the
criteria of significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition at the current balance sheet date
the Group recognizes the provision for losses of the financial instrument at an amount equivalent
to 12-month ECL at the current balance sheet date with any resulting reversal of provision for
losses recognized as impairment gains in profit or loss for the period.- 35 -CHINA MERCHANTS PORT GROUP CO. LTD.NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

11.2.1 Significant increase of credit risk
The Group uses reasonable and supportable forward-looking information to assess whether the
credit risk has increased significantly since initial recognition by comparing the risk of a default
occurring on the financial instrument at the balance sheet date with the risk of a default occurring
on the financial instrument at the date of initial recognition. For loan commitments and financial
guarantee contracts the date on which the Group becomes a party to the irrevocable commitment
is considered to be the date of initial recognition in the application of criteria related to the financial
instrument for impairment.In particular the following information is taken into account when assessing whether credit risk has
increased significantly:
(1) Significant changes in internal price indicators resulting from changes in credit risk;
(2) Significant changes in the rates or other terms of an existing financial instrument if the
instrument was newly originated or issued at the balance sheet date (such as more stringent
covenants increased amounts of collateral or guarantees or higher rate of return etc.);
(3) Significant changes in the external market indicators of credit risk of the same financial
instrument or similar financial instruments with the same expected duration. These
indicators include: credit spreads credit default swap prices against borrower length of time
and extent to which the fair value of financial assets is less than their amortized cost and
other market information related to the borrower (such as the borrower's debt instruments
or changes in the price of equity instruments);
(4) An actual or expected significant change in the financial instrument's external credit rating;
(5) An actual or expected decrease in the internal credit rating for the debtor;
(6) Adverse changes in business financial or economic conditions that are expected to cause a
significant decrease in the debtor's ability to meet its debt obligations;
(7) An actual or expected significant change in the operating results of the debtor;
(8) Significant increase in credit risk of other financial instruments issued by the same debtor;
(9) Significant adverse changes in the regulatory economic or technological environment of
the debtor;
(10) Significant changes in the value of the collaterals or the quality of guarantees or credit
enhancements provided by third parties which are expected to reduce the debtor's economic
motives to repay within the time limit specified in contract or affect the probability of default;
(11) Significant change in the debtor's economic motives to repay within the time limit specified
in contract;
(12) Expected changes to loan contract including the exemption or revision of contractual
obligations the granting of interest-free periods the jump in interest rates the requirement
for additional collateral or guarantees or other changes in the contractual framework for
financial instruments that may result from the breach of contract;

11.2.1 Significant increase of credit risk - continued
(13) Significant change in the expected performance and repayment of the debtor;
(14) Significant change in the method used by the Group to manage the credit of financial
instruments.The Group assumes that the credit risk on a financial instrument has not increased significantly
since initial recognition if the financial instrument is determined to have lower credit risk at the
balance sheet date. A financial instrument is determined to have lower credit risk if: i) it has a lower
risk of default ii) the borrower has a strong capacity to meet its contractual cash flow obligations
in the near term and iii) adverse changes in economic and business conditions in the longer term
may but will not necessarily reduce the ability of the borrower to fulfil its contractual cash flow
obligations.
11.2.2 Credit-impaired financial assets
When an event or several events that are expected to have adverse impact on the future cash flows
of the financial assets have occurred the financial assets become credit-impaired. The evidences of
credit impairment of financial assets include the following observable information:
(1) Significant financial difficulty of the issuer or debtor.
(2) A breach of contract by the debtor such as a default or delinquency in interest or principal
payments.
(3) The creditor for economic or legal reasons relating to the debtor's financial difficulty
granting a concession to the debtor.
(4) It becomes probable that the debtor will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganizations.
(5) The disappearance of an active market for the financial asset because of financial difficulties
of the issuer or the debtor.
(6) Purchase or origination of a financial asset with a large scale of discount which reflects the
fact of credit loss.Based on the Group's internal credit risk management the Group considers an event of default
occurs when information developed internally or obtained from external sources indicates that the
debtor is unlikely to pay its creditors including the Group in full (without taking into account any
collaterals held by the Group).- 37 -CHINA MERCHANTS PORT GROUP CO. LTD.NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

11.2.3 Determination of expected credit loss
The Group determines the credit loss of leases receivables on the basis of single assets and
determines the credit loss of related financial instruments on the basis of combination of cash at
bank and on hand bills receivable accounts receivable other receivables long-term receivables
etc. with impairment matrix. The Group divides financial instruments into different groups based
on common risk characteristics. Common credit risk characteristics adopted by the Group include:
type of financial instruments credit risk rating type of collateral initial recognition date remaining
contract period industry of the debtor geographical location of the debtor value of collateral
relative to financial assets etc.The Group determines the ECL of relevant financial instruments using the following methods:
* For financial assets the credit loss is the present value of the difference between the
contractual cash flows that are due to the Group under the contract and the cash flows that the
Group expects to receive;
* For financial guarantee contracts (refer to Note IV 11.4.1.3 for the detail of accounting
policies) the credit loss is the present value of the expected payments to reimburse the holder
for the credit loss incurred less any amounts that the Group expects to receive from the holder
the debtor or any other party.* For financial assets credit-impaired at the balance sheet date but not purchased or originated
credit-impaired the credit loss is the difference between the book value of the financial assets
and the present value of estimated future cash flows discounted at the original effective
interest rate.The factors reflected by the Group's measurement of ECL of financial instruments include: unbiased
probability weighted average amount recognized by assessing a series of possible results; time value
of money; reasonable and supportable information related to historical events current condition
and forecast of future economic position that is available without undue cost or effort at the balance
sheet date.
11.2.4 Write-off of financial assets
When the Group no longer reasonably expects that the contractual cash flows of financial assets
can be collected in aggregate or in part the Group will directly write down the book value of the
financial assets which constitutes derecognition of relevant financial assets.- 38 -CHINA MERCHANTS PORT GROUP CO. LTD.NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

11.3 Transfer of financial assets
The Group will derecognize a financial asset if one of the following conditions is satisfied: (i) the
contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire; (ii) the financial asset has been
transferred and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset is
transferred to the transferee; or (iii) although the financial asset has been transferred the Group
neither transfers nor retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial
asset but has not retained control of the financial asset.If the Group neither transfers nor retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of a
financial asset and it retains control of the financial asset the Group will recognize the financial
asset to the extent of its continuing involvement in the transferred financial asset and recognize an
associated liability. The Group will measure relevant liabilities as follows:
* For transferred financial assets carried at amortized cost the carrying amount of relevant
liabilities is the carrying amount of financial assets transferred with continuing involvement
less amortized cost of the Group's retained rights (if the Group retains relevant rights upon
transfer of financial assets) with addition of amortized cost of obligations assumed by the
Group (if the Group assumes relevant obligations upon transfer of financial assets). Relevant
liabilities are not designated as financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss.* For transferred financial assets carried at fair value the carrying amount of relevant liabilities
is the carrying amount of financial assets transferred with continuing involvement less fair
value of the Group's retained rights (if the Group retains relevant rights upon transfer of
financial assets) with addition of fair value of obligations assumed by the Group (if the Group
assumes relevant obligations upon transfer of financial assets). Accordingly the fair value of
relevant rights and obligations shall be measured on an individual basis.For the transfer of a financial asset in its entirety that satisfies the derecognition criteria the
difference between (1) the carrying amount of the financial asset transferred and (2) the sum of the
consideration received from the transfer and any cumulative gain or loss that has been recognized
in other comprehensive income is recognized in profit or loss. Where the transferred assets are non-
trading equity instrument investments designated as at FVTOCI cumulative gains or losses
previously recognized in other comprehensive income are transferred out and included in retained
earnings.- 39 -CHINA MERCHANTS PORT GROUP CO. LTD.NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

11.3 Transfer of financial assets - continued
If a part of the transferred financial asset qualifies for derecognition the overall carrying amount of
the financial asset prior to transfer is allocated between the part that continues to be recognized and
the part that is derecognized based on the respective fair value of those parts at the date of transfer.The difference between (1) the carrying amount allocated to the part derecognized on the date of
derecognition; and (2) the sum of the consideration received for the part derecognized and any
cumulative gain or loss allocated to the part derecognized which has been previously recognized in
other comprehensive income is recognized in profit or loss. Where the transferred assets are non-
trading equity instrument investments designated as at FVTOCI cumulative gains or losses
previously recognized in other comprehensive income are transferred out and included in retained
earnings.For a transfer of a financial asset in its entirety that does not satisfy the derecognition criteria the
Group continues to recognize the transferred financial asset in its entirety. The consideration
received from transfer of assets is recognized as a financial liability upon receipt.
11.4 Classification of financial liabilities and equity instruments
Financial instruments issued by the Group or their components are classified into financial liabilities
or equity instruments on the basis of the substance of the contractual arrangements and the economic
nature not only the legal form together with the definition of financial liability and equity
instrument on initial recognition.
11.4.1 Classification recognition and measurement of financial liabilities
On initial recognition financial liabilities are classified into financial liabilities at FVTPL and other
financial liabilities.
11.4.1.1 Financial liabilities at FVTPL
Financial liabilities at FVTPL consist of financial liabilities held for trading (including derivatives
classified as financial liabilities) and those designated as at FVTPL. Except for derivative financial
liabilities presented separately the financial liabilities at FVTPL are presented as held-for-trading
financial liabilities.A financial liability is classified as held for trading if one of the following conditions is satisfied:
* It has been acquired principally for the purpose of repurchasing in the near term; or
* On initial recognition it is part of a portfolio of identified financial instruments that the Group
manages together and there is objective evidence that the Group has a recent actual pattern of
short-term profit-taking; or
* It is a derivative that is not a financial guarantee contract or designated and effective as a
hedging instrument.- 40 -CHINA MERCHANTS PORT GROUP CO. LTD.NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

11.4.1 Classification recognition and measurement of financial liabilities - continued
11.4.1.1 Financial liabilities at FVTPL - continued
A financial liability may be designated as at FVTPL on initial recognition when one of the following
conditions is satisfied: (i) Such designation eliminates or significantly reduces accounting mismatch;
or (ii) The Group makes management and performance evaluation on a fair value basis in
accordance with the Group's formally documented risk management or investment strategy and
reports to key management personnel on that basis. (iii) The qualified hybrid financial instrument
combines financial asset with embedded derivatives.Held-for-trading financial liabilities are subsequently measured at fair value. Any gains or losses
arising from changes in fair value and any dividends or interest expenses paid on the financial
liabilities are recognized in profit or loss.For a financial liability designated as at FVTPL the amount of changes in fair value of the financial
liability that are attributable to changes in the credit risk of that liability shall be presented in other
comprehensive income while other changes in fair value are included in profit or loss for the current
period. Upon the derecognition of such financial liability the accumulated amount of changes in
fair value that are attributable to changes in the credit risk of that liability which was recognized in
other comprehensive income is transferred to retained earnings. Any dividend or interest expense
on the financial liabilities is recognized in profit or loss. If the accounting treatment for the impact
of the change in credit risk of such financial liability in the above ways would create or enlarge an
accounting mismatch in profit or loss the Group shall present all gains or losses on that liability
(including the effects of changes in the credit risk of that liability) in profit or loss for the period.For financial liabilities arising from contingent consideration recognized by the Group as the
acquirer in the business combination not involving enterprises under common control the Group
measures such financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss and includes the changes in
the financial liabilities in profit or loss for the period.- 41 -CHINA MERCHANTS PORT GROUP CO. LTD.NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

11.4.1.2 Other financial liabilities
Except for financial liabilities financial guarantee contracts and loan commitments arising from
transfer of financial assets that do not meet the derecognition criteria or those arising from
continuing involvement in the transferred financial assets other financial liabilities are
subsequently measured at amortized cost with gain or loss arising from derecognition or
amortization recognized in profit or loss.If the modification or renegotiation for the contract by the Group and its counterparties does not
result in derecognition of a financial liability subsequently measured at amortized cost but the
changes in contractual cash flows the Group will recalculate the carrying amount of the financial
liability with relevant gain or loss recognized in profit or loss. The Group will determine the
carrying amount of the financial liability based on the present value of renegotiated or modified
contractual cash flows discounted at the original effective interest rate of the financial liability. For
all costs or expenses arising from modification or renegotiation of the contract the Group will adjust
the modified carrying amount of the financial liability and make amortization during the remaining
term of the modified financial liability.
11.4.1.3 Financial guarantee contracts
A financial guarantee contract is a contract that requires the issuer to make specified payments to
reimburse the holder of the contract for a loss it incurs because a specified debtor fails to make
payment when due in accordance with the original or modified terms of a debt instrument.Subsequent to initial recognition financial guarantee contracts that are not designated as financial
liabilities at fair value through profit or loss or financial liabilities arising from transfer of financial
assets that do not meet the derecognition criteria or those arising from continuing involvement in
the transferred financial assets are measured at the higher of amount of loss provision; and the
amount initially recognized less cumulative amortization amount determined based on the revenue
standards.- 42 -CHINA MERCHANTS PORT GROUP CO. LTD.NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

11.4.2 Derecognition of financial liabilities
The Group derecognizes a financial liability (or part of it) when the underlying present obligation
(or part of it) is discharged. An agreement between the Group (the debtor) and the creditor to replace
the original financial liability with a new financial liability with substantially different terms is
accounted for as an extinguishment of the original financial liability and the recognition of a new
financial liability.When the Group derecognizes a financial liability or a part of it it recognizes the difference between
the carrying amount of the financial liability (or part of the financial liability) derecognized and the
consideration paid (including any non-cash assets transferred or new financial liabilities assumed)
in profit or loss.
11.4.3 Equity instruments
An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the Group
after deducting all of its liabilities. Equity instruments issued (including refinanced) repurchased
sold and cancelled by the Group are recognized as changes in equity. The Group's issuance of
equity instruments is recorded in the owner's equity at the actual issue price and the relevant
transaction costs are deducted from the owner's equity (capital reserve). If the capital reserve is
insufficient to offset the surplus reserve and retained earnings are offset in turn. The consideration
and transaction costs paid for repurchasing the Company's equity instruments reduce the owner's
equity.The Group recognizes the distribution to holders of the equity instruments as distribution of profits
and dividends paid do not affect total amount of shareholders' equity.- 43 -CHINA MERCHANTS PORT GROUP CO. LTD.NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

11.5 Derivatives and embedded derivatives
Derivatives include forward exchange contracts currency swaps interest rate swaps and foreign
exchange options etc. Derivatives are initially measured at fair value at the date when the derivative
contracts are entered into and are subsequently measured at fair value.Derivatives embedded in hybrid contracts with a financial asset host are not separated by the Group.The hybrid contract shall apply the relevant accounting standards regarding the classification of
financial assets as a whole.Derivatives embedded in hybrid contracts with hosts that are not financial assets are separated and
treated as separate derivatives by the Group when they meet the following conditions:
(1) the economic characteristics and risks of the embedded derivative are not closely related to
those of the host contract;
(2) a separate instrument with the same terms as the embedded derivative would meet the
definition of a derivative;
(3) the hybrid contracts are not measured at fair value through profit or loss.
For the embedded derivative separated from the host contracts the Group accounts for the host
contracts in the hybrid contracts with applicable accounting standards. When the embedded
derivatives whose fair value cannot be measured reliably by the Group according to the terms and
conditions of the embedded derivatives the fair value of such derivatives are measured at the
difference between the fair value of the hybrid contracts and the fair value of the host contracts. By
adopting the above method if the embedded derivative cannot be measured on a stand-alone basis
at the time when it is acquired or at subsequent balance sheet dates the hybrid instrument is
designated as financial instruments at fair value through profit or loss as a whole.
11.6 Offsetting financial assets and financial liabilities
Where the Group has a legal right that is currently enforceable to set off the recognized financial
assets and financial liabilities and intends either to settle on a net basis or to realize the financial
asset and settle the financial liability simultaneously a financial asset and a financial liability shall
be offset and the net amount is presented in the balance sheet. Except for the above circumstances
financial assets and financial liabilities shall be presented separately in the balance sheet and shall
not be offset.
11.7 Compound instruments
For convertible bonds issued by the Group that contain both liabilities and conversion option that
may convert the liabilities to its own equity instrument upon initial recognition the bonds are split
into liabilities and conversion option which are separately recognized. Therein the conversion
option that exchanges a fixed amount of cash or other financial assets for a fixed amount of equity
instruments is accounted for as an equity instrument.- 44 -CHINA MERCHANTS PORT GROUP CO. LTD.NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(IV) SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES - continued
11. Financial instruments - continued
11.7 Compound instruments - continued
Upon initial recognition the fair value of liability portion is determined based on the prevailing
market price of the bonds containing no conversion option. The overall issue price of the convertible
bonds net of the fair value of the liability portion is considered as the value of the conversion option
that enables the bonds holder to convert the bonds to equity instruments and is included in other
equity instruments.The liability portion of the convertible bonds is subsequently measured at amortized cost using
effective interest method; the value of the conversion option classified as equity instrument is
remained in equity instrument. The expiry or conversion of convertible bonds will not result in loss
or gain.The transaction costs incurred for issuance of the convertible bonds are allocated between the
liability portion and equity instrument portion in proportion to their respective fair values. The
transaction cost relating to the equity instrument portion is directly included in equity instrument;
while the transaction cost relating to the liability portion is included in the carrying amount of the
liability and amortized over the lifetime of the convertible bonds using effective interest method.
11.8 Reclassification of financial instruments
When the Group changes the business model to manage the financial assets the financial assets
affected will be reclassified and no financial liabilities will be reclassified.The financial assets are reclassified by the Group and are accounted for prospectively since the date
of reclassification (i.e. the first date of the initial reporting period after the business model of which
the financial assets are reclassified by the enterprise is changed).Where a financial asset at amortized cost is reclassified as a financial asset at fair value through
profit or loss by (hereinafter referred to as "FVTPL") the Group such financial asset is measured
at fair value at the date of reclassification and the difference between the original carrying amount
and the fair value is recognized in profit or loss for the period.Where a financial asset at amortized cost is reclassified as a financial asset at fair value through
other comprehensive income (hereinafter referred to as "FVTOCI") by the Group such financial
asset is measured at fair value at the date of reclassification and the difference between the original
carrying amount and the fair value is recognized in other comprehensive income.Where a financial asset at FVTOCI is reclassified as a financial asset at amortized cost by the Group
the accumulated gains or losses previously recognized in other comprehensive income are
transferred out and the fair value at the date of reclassification is adjusted. The adjusted fair value
is determined as the new carrying amount as if the financial asset has been always measured at
amortized cost. The reclassification of the financial asset shall not affect its effective interest rate
or the measurement of ECL.- 45 -CHINA MERCHANTS PORT GROUP CO. LTD.NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

period.Where a financial asset at FVTPL is reclassified as a financial asset at amortized cost by the Group
the fair value at the date of reclassification is determined as the new book value.Where a financial asset at FVTPL is reclassified as a financial asset at FVTOCI by the Group such
financial asset continues to be measured at fair value.Where a financial asset at FVTPL is reclassified the effective interest rate is determined on the
basis of the fair value of the financial asset at the date of reclassification.
12. Receivables
12.1 Determination and accounting methods for expected credit losses of receivables
The Group assesses the credit risk of receivables with significantly different credit risks on an
individual basis and determine the credit losses of receivables on a portfolio basis using an
impairment matrix for other receivables. The amount of increase in or reversal of allowance for
expected credit losses on receivables is included in profit or loss for the period as credit losses or
gains.
12.2 Categories of portfolios for which provision for bad debts is assessed on a portfolio basis
according to credit risk characteristics and the basis for determination
The Group classifies receivables into groups A B and C based on common risk characteristics. The
common credit risk characteristics adopted by the Group include: type of financial instrument
credit risk rating initial recognition date remaining contractual term industry of the debtor
geographical location of the debtor etc.- 46 -CHINA MERCHANTS PORT GROUP CO. LTD.NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

13.1.4 Amortization method for low cost and low-value consumables items and packaging
materials
Packaging materials and low cost and short-lived consumable items are amortized using the
immediate write-off method.
13.2 Recognition criteria and provision method for decline in value of inventories
At the balance sheet date inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value. If
the cost of inventories is higher than the net realizable value a provision for decline in value of
inventories is made.Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the
estimated costs of completion the estimated costs necessary to make the sale and relevant taxes.Net realizable value is determined on the basis of clear evidence obtained after taking into
consideration the purposes of inventories being held and effect of post balance sheet events.Provision for decline in value of inventories is made based on the excess of cost of inventory over
its net realizable value on an item-by-item basis.After the provision for decline in value of inventories is made if the circumstances that previously
caused inventories to be written down below cost no longer exist so that the net realizable value of
inventories is higher than their cost the original provision for decline in value is reversed and the
reversal is included in profit or loss for the period.- 48 -CHINA MERCHANTS PORT GROUP CO. LTD.NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

14. Long-term equity investments
14.1 Basis for determining joint control and significant influence over investee
Control means that the investor has the power over the investee enjoys variable returns by
participating in the relevant activities of the investee and has the ability to use the power over the
investee to affect its return amount. Joint control refers to the common control over an arrangement
according to relevant agreements and the relevant activities of the arrangement must be agreed by
the participants sharing the control right before making decisions. Significant influence refers to
having the right to participate in the decision-making of the investee's financial and operating
policies but not being able to control or jointly control the formulation of these policies with other
parties. When determining whether it is possible to control or exert significant influence on the
investee the convertible corporate bonds executable warrants and other potential voting rights of
the investee held by the investor and other parties have been considered.
14.2 Determination of initial investment cost
For a long-term equity investment acquired through business combination involving enterprises
under common control share of carrying amount of owners' equity of the acquiree in the
consolidated financial statements of ultimate controlling party is recognized as initial investment
cost of long-term equity investment at the date of combination. The difference between initial
investment cost of long-term equity investment and cash paid non-cash assets transferred and
carrying amount of liabilities assumed is adjusted in capital reserve. If the balance of capital reserve
is not sufficient to absorb the difference surplus reserve and retained earnings shall be offset in
turn. If the consideration of the combination is satisfied by the issue of equity securities the initial
investment cost of the long-term equity investment is the share of carrying amount of owners' equity
of the acquiree in the consolidated financial statements of ultimate controlling party at the date of
combination. The aggregate face value of the shares issued is accounted for as share capital. The
difference between the initial investment cost and the aggregate face value of the shares issued is
adjusted to capital reserve. If the balance of capital reserve is not sufficient to absorb the difference
surplus reserve and retained earnings shall be offset in turn.- 49 -CHINA MERCHANTS PORT GROUP CO. LTD.NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

14.2 Determination of initial investment cost - continued
For a long-term equity investment acquired through business combination not involving enterprises
under common control the initial investment cost of the long-term equity investment acquired is
the cost of acquisition.The expenses incurred by the acquirer in respect of auditing legal services valuation and
consultancy services and other associated general and administrative expenses attributable to the
business combination are recognized in profit or loss when they are incurred.The long-term equity investment acquired otherwise than through a business combination is initially
measured at its cost. When the entity is able to exercise significant influence or joint control (but
not control) over an investee due to additional investment the cost of long-term equity investments
is the sum of the fair value of previously-held equity investments determined in accordance with
Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises No.22 - Financial Instruments: Recognition and
Measurement (ASBE No. 22) and the additional investment cost.
14.3 Subsequent measurement and recognition of profit or loss
14.3.1 Long-term equity investments accounted for using the cost method
Long-term equity investments in subsidiaries are accounted for using the cost method in Company's
separate financial statements. A subsidiary is an investee that is controlled by the Group.Under the cost method a long-term equity investment is measured at initial investment cost. When
additional investment is made or the investment is recouped the cost of the long-term equity
investment is adjusted accordingly. Investment income is recognized in the period in accordance
with the attributable share of cash dividends or profit distributions declared by the investee.
14.3.2 Long-term equity investments accounted for using the equity method
Except for investments in associates and joint ventures classified as held-for-sale partly or wholly
the Group accounts for investment in associates and joint ventures using the equity method. An
associate is an entity over which the Group has significant influence and a joint venture is a joint
arrangement whereby the Group only has rights to the net assets of the arrangement.Under the equity method where the initial investment cost of a long-term equity investment exceeds
the Group's share of the fair value of the investee's identifiable net assets at the time of acquisition
no adjustment is made to the initial investment cost. Where the initial investment cost is less than
the Group's share of the fair value of the investee's identifiable net assets at the time of acquisition
the difference is recognized in profit or loss for the period and the cost of the long-term equity
investment is adjusted accordingly.- 50 -CHINA MERCHANTS PORT GROUP CO. LTD.NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

14.3.2 Long-term equity investments accounted for using the equity method - continued
Under the equity method the Group recognizes its share of the net profit or loss and other
comprehensive income of the investee for the period as investment income and other
comprehensive income for the period. Meanwhile the carrying amount of long-term equity
investment is adjusted; the carrying amount of long-term equity investment is decreased in
accordance with its share of the investee's declared profit or cash dividends; other changes in
owners' equity of the investee other than net profit or loss other comprehensive incomed and profit
distribution are correspondingly adjusted to the carrying amount of the long-term equity investment
and recognized in capital reserve. The Group recognizes its share of the investee's net profit or loss
based on the fair value of the investee's individual identifiable assets etc. at the acquisition date
after making adjustments. When the investee's accounting policies and accounting period are
inconsistent with those of the Group the Group recognizes investment income and other
comprehensive income after making appropriate adjustments to conform to the Group's accounting
policies and accounting period. However unrealized gains or losses resulting from the Group's
transactions with its associates and joint ventures and assets invested or sold which do not
constitute a business are eliminated based on the proportion attributable to the Group and then
investment gains or losses are recognized. However unrealized losses resulting from the Group's
transactions with its associates and joint ventures which represent impairment losses on the
transferred assets are not eliminated.When recognizing the net loss of the investee that should be shared the book value of the long-
term equity investments and other long-term interests that substantially constitute the net investment
in the investee should be written down to zero. In addition if the Group has incurred obligations to
assume additional losses a provision is recognized according to the obligation expected and
recorded in the investment loss for the period. Where net profits are subsequently made by the
investee the Group resumes recognizing its share of those profits only after its share of the profits
exceeds the share of losses previously not recognized.- 51 -CHINA MERCHANTS PORT GROUP CO. LTD.NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

14.4 Disposal of long-term equity investments
On disposal of a long-term equity investment the difference between the proceeds actually received
and receivable and the carrying amount is recognized in profit or loss for the period. For long-term
equity investments accounted for using the equity method if the remaining interest after disposal
is still accounted for using the equity method other comprehensive income previously recognized
using the equity method is accounted for on the same basis as would have been required if the
investee had directly disposed of related assets or liabilities and transferred to profit or loss for the
period on a pro rata basis; owners' equity recognized due to other changes in owners' equity of the
investee (other than net profit or loss other comprehensive income and profit distribution) is
transferred to profit or loss for the period on a pro rata basis. For long-term equity investments
accounted for using the cost method if the remaining interest after disposal is still accounted for
using the cost method other comprehensive income previously recognized using the equity method
or in accordance with the standards for the recognition and measurement of financial instruments
before obtaining the control over the investee is accounted for on the same basis as would have
been required if the investee had directly disposed of related assets or liabilities and transferred to
profit or loss for the period on a pro rata basis; other changes in owners' equity in the investee's net
assets recognized under the equity method (other than net profit or loss other comprehensive
income and profit distribution) is transferred to profit or loss for the period on a pro rata basis.Where the Group loses control over the investee due to disposal of part of shares and in preparing
the separate financial statements remaining shares after disposal can have joint control or
significant influence over the investee the equity method shall be adopted to adjust the remaining
shares as they are accounted for under equity method since the acquisition date. If remaining shares
after disposal cannot have joint control or significant influence over the investee they are accounted
for in accordance with the standards for recognition and measurement of financial instruments and
the difference between fair value on date of losing control and carrying amount is recognized in
profit or loss for the period. Other comprehensive income recognized using the equity method or in
accordance with the standards for the recognition and measurement of financial instruments before
losing control over the investee is accounted for on the same basis as would have been required if
the investee had directly disposed of related assets or liabilities when the control over the investee
is lost; other changes in owners' equity in the investee's net assets recognized under the equity
method (other than net profit or loss other comprehensive income and profit distribution) is
transferred to profit or loss for the period. Where remaining shares after disposal are accounted for
under equity method other comprehensive income and other owners' equity are transferred on a
pro rata basis. Where remaining shares after disposal are accounted for in accordance with the
standards for recognition and measurement of financial instruments other comprehensive income
and other owners' equity are all transferred.- 52 -CHINA MERCHANTS PORT GROUP CO. LTD.NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Where the Group loses joint control or significant influence over the investee after part disposal of
shares remaining shares after disposal are accounted for in accordance with the standards for
recognition and measurement of financial instruments and the difference between fair value at the
date of losing joint control or significant influence and carrying amount is recognized in profit or
loss for the period. Other comprehensive income previously recognized under the equity method
is accounted for on the same basis as would have been required if the investee had directly disposed
of related assets or liabilities when the equity method is not adopted and other changes in owners'
equity other than net profit or loss other comprehensive income and profit distribution are
transferred to investment income for the period when the equity method is not adopted.The Group disposes of its equity investment in subsidiaries through multiple transactions step by
step until it loses control over the subsidiaries. If these transactions belong to "package deal" all
transactions are deemed as one transaction on disposal of equity investment in subsidiaries and the
difference between the amount of disposal and carrying amount of long-term equity investment is
recognized as other comprehensive income before the loss of control and transferred to profit or
loss for the period when the control is lost.
15. Investment properties
Investment property is the property held by the Group to earn rentals or for capital appreciation or
both. It includes a land use right that is leased out and a building that is leased out.An investment property is measured initially at cost. Subsequent expenditures incurred for such
investment property are included in the cost of the investment property if it is probable that
economic benefits associated with the investment property will flow to the Group and the
subsequent expenditures can be measured reliably. Other subsequent expenditures are recognized
in profit or loss for the period in which they are incurred.The Group uses the cost model for subsequent measurement of investment property and the
investment properties are depreciated over their useful lives using the straight-line method. The
depreciation life estimated residual value rate and annual depreciation rate of each category of
investment properties are as follows:
Annual depreciation rate
Category Depreciation life (year) Residual value rate (%)
(%)
Land use rights 21.25-50.00 - 2.00-4.71
Buildings and structures 10.00-43.17 5.00 2.20-9.50
An investment property is derecognized upon disposal or when the investment property is
permanently withdrawn from use and it is estimated that no economic benefits can be obtained from
its disposal the investment properties is derecognized.- 53 -CHINA MERCHANTS PORT GROUP CO. LTD.NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

for the period.
16. Fixed assets and depreciation
Fixed assets are tangible assets that are held for use in the production or supply of goods or services
for rental to others or for administrative purposes and have useful lives of more than one
accounting year. A fixed asset is recognized only when it is probable that economic benefits
associated with the asset will flow to the Group and the cost of the asset can be measured reliably.Fixed assets are initially measured at cost. Upon being restructured into a stock company the fixed
assets initially contributed by the state-owned shareholders are recognized based on the valuation
amounts confirmed by the state-owned assets administration department.Subsequent expenditures incurred for the fixed asset are included in the cost of the fixed asset if it
is probable that economic benefits associated with the asset will flow to the Group and the
subsequent expenditures can be measured reliably. Meanwhile the carrying amount of the replaced
part is derecognized. Other subsequent expenditures are recognized in profit or loss for the period
in which they are incurred.A fixed asset is depreciated over its useful life using the straight-line method starting from the
month subsequent to the one in which it is ready for intended use. The depreciation life estimated
net residual value rate and annual depreciation rate of each category of fixed assets are as follows:
Depreciation life Residual value Annual
Category
(year) rate (%) depreciation rate (%)
Port and terminal facilities 5-50 5.00 1.90-19.00
Buildings and structures 5-30 5.00 3.17-19.00
Machinery and equipment furniture
3-205.004.75-31.67
and fixture and other equipment
Motor vehicles and cargo ships 5-25 5.00 3.80-19.00
Estimated net residual value of a fixed asset is the estimated amount that the Group would currently
obtain from disposal of the asset after deducting the estimated costs of disposal if the asset were
already of the age and in the condition expected at the end of its useful life.If a fixed asset is upon disposal or no future economic benefits are expected to be generated from
its use or disposal the fixed asset is derecognized. When a fixed asset is sold transferred retired
or damaged the amount of any proceeds on disposal of the asset net of the carrying amount and
related taxes is recognized in profit or loss for the period.The Group reviews the useful life and estimated net residual value of a fixed asset and the
depreciation method applied at least once at each financial year-end and accounts for any change
as a change in accounting estimates.- 54 -CHINA MERCHANTS PORT GROUP CO. LTD.NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

17. Construction in progress
Construction in progress is measured at its actual costs. The actual costs include various
construction expenditures during the construction period borrowing costs capitalized before it is
ready for intended use and other relevant costs. Construction in progress is not depreciated.Construction in progress is accounted for by categories of projects initiated and is transferred to a
fixed asset when it is ready for intended use. The criteria for judging the intended use shall be one
of the following:
(1) The physical construction (including installation) of fixed assets has been fully or
substantially completed;
(2) The trial production or trial operation has been carried out and the results of which indicate
that the asset is capable of normal operation or producing qualified products on a stable
basis or the results of which indicate that it is capable of normal functioning or operation;
(3) The fixed assets and intangible assets acquired and constructed have met the design or
contractual requirements or are basically in compliance with the design or contractual
requirements.- 55 -CHINA MERCHANTS PORT GROUP CO. LTD.NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

18. Intangible assets
18.1 Useful life and the basis for determination estimates amortization method or review
procedures
Intangible assets include land use rights terminal operating rights data resources and others.An intangible asset is measured initially at cost. Upon being restructured into a stock company the
intangible assets initially contributed by the state-owned shareholders are recognized based on the
valuation amounts confirmed by the state-owned assets administration department. Except for
terminal operating rights when an intangible asset with a finite useful life is available for use its
original cost minus the expected net residual value and the accumulated amount of impairment
provision is amortized over its estimated useful life by using straight-line method. The terminal
operating rights under the output method are amortized over periods according to the ratio of the
estimated minimum guaranteed throughput to the estimated minimum guaranteed total throughput
during the operation period. When the estimated minimum guaranteed throughput cannot be
measured reliably the straight-line method will be used for amortization. An intangible asset with
indefinite useful life will not be amortized.The amortization method useful life and estimated net residual value rate of each category of
intangible assets are as follows:

18.2 Scope of R&D expenditure and method for accounting treatment
Expenditure during the research phase is recognized in profit or loss for the period in which it is
incurred.Expenditure during the development phase that meets all of the following conditions at the same
time is recognized as intangible asset. Expenditure during development phase that does not meet
the following conditions is recognized in profit or loss for the period:
(1) it is technically feasible to complete the intangible asset so that it will be available for use
or sale.
(2) the Group has the intention to complete the intangible asset and use or sell it.
(3) the Group can demonstrate the ways in which the intangible asset will generate economic
benefits including the evidence of the existence of a market for the output of the intangible
asset or the intangible asset itself or if it is to be used internally the usefulness of the
intangible asset.
(4) the availability of adequate technical financial and other resources to complete the
development and the ability to use or sell the intangible asset.
(5) the expenditure attributable to the intangible asset during its development phase can be
reliably measured.If the expenditures cannot be distinguished between the research phase and development phase the
Group recognizes all of them in profit or loss for the year. The costs of intangible assets generated
by the internal research only include the total expenditure incurred for the period from the time
point of capitalization to the time point when the intangible assets are ready for intended use. For
the identical intangible asset the expenditures recorded as expenses before they qualify for
capitalization during the development process are not adjusted.The Group classifies the expenditures on an internal research and development project into
expenditures in the research phase and expenditures in the development phase. The scope of R&D
expenditures refer to those directly related to the R&D activities including wages salaries and
welfare expenses of personnel directly engaged in R&D activities materials directly consumed in
R&D activities depreciation expenses for instruments and equipment used in R&D activities travel
transportation and communication expenses required for research and experimental development
etc. Technical feasibility and economic viability studies are adopted as specific criteria for
classifying the research and development phases once such studies have been evaluated and
approved.- 57 -CHINA MERCHANTS PORT GROUP CO. LTD.NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

19. Long-term deferred expenses
Long-term deferred expenses refer to various expenses that have been incurred but should be borne
in the current and subsequent periods with an apportionment period of more than one year. Long-
term deferred expenses are amortized using the straight-line method over the expected periods in
which benefits are derived.
20. Impairment of non-financial assets other than goodwill
On each balance sheet date the Group checks whether there is any sign of possible impairment of
long-term equity investments investment properties measured by cost model fixed assets
construction in progress right-of-use assets long-term deferred expenses and intangible assets
whose service life is determined. If there is any indication that such assets may be impaired
recoverable amounts are estimated for such assets. Intangible assets with indefinite useful life and
intangible assets not yet available for use are tested for impairment annually irrespective of whether
there is any indication that the assets may be impaired.Recoverable amount is estimated on an individual basis. If it is not practical to estimate the
recoverable amount of an individual asset the recoverable amount of the asset group to which the
asset belongs will be estimated. The recoverable amount of an asset or assets group is the higher of
its fair value less costs of disposal and the present value of the future cash flows expected to be
derived from the asset.The present value of the estimated future cash flow of the assets is determined according to the
estimated future cash flow generated during the continuous use and final disposal of the assets and
the amount discounted which is determined by selecting an appropriate pre tax discount rate.If the recoverable amount of an asset is less than its carrying amount the deficit is accounted for as
an impairment losses and is recognized in profit or loss.Once the impairment losses of above-mentioned assets is recognized it shall not be reversed in any
subsequent period.When determining the impairment losses of assets related to contract costs first determine the
impairment losses of other assets related to contracts that are recognized in accordance with other
relevant accounting standards for business enterprises; Then if the book value of the assets related
to the contract costs is higher than the difference between the following two items the excess part
of the provision for impairment shall be recognized as impairment losses: (i) the Group's expected
remaining consideration for the transfer of goods or services related to the assets; (ii) Estimate the
cost to be incurred for the transfer of the relevant goods or services.- 58 -CHINA MERCHANTS PORT GROUP CO. LTD.NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Except for the impairment losses related to the contract costs once the above impairment losses is
recognized it will not be reversed in future accounting periods. After the provision for impairment
of assets related to contract costs has been made if the factors of impairment in previous periods
have changed resulting in the above two differences are higher than the book value of the assets
the provision for impairment of the assets that has been made is reversed and included in the current
profits and losses but the book value of the assets after reversal does not exceed the book value of
the assets on the reversal date assuming that no provision for impairment is made.
21. Provisions
Provisions are recognized when the Group has a present obligation related to a contingency it is
probable result in an outflow of economic benefits to settle the obligation and the amount of the
obligation can be measured reliably.The amount recognized as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the
present obligation at the balance sheet date taking into account factors pertaining to a contingency
such as the risks uncertainties and time value of money. Where the effect of the time value of money
is material the amount of the provision is determined by discounting the related future cash
outflows.If all or part of the expenses required to settle the estimated liabilities are expected to be
compensated by a third party the compensation amount will be separately recognized as assets
when it is basically determined that it can be received and the recognized compensation amount
will not exceed the book value of the estimated liabilities.
22. Employee benefits
22.1 Short-term employee benefits
Short-term benefits refer to the employee benefits that the Group is required to make full payments
within 12 months after the annual reporting period during which relevant services are provided by
the employees except the post-employment benefits and termination benefits. Specifically the
short-term benefits include: employee salaries bonuses allowances and subsidies employee
benefits social insurance contributions such as the medical insurance and the work injury insurance
housing funds trade union funds and employee education funds short-term paid absence short-
term profit sharing plan non-monetary welfare and other short-term benefits.Short-term employee benefits payable are recognized as liabilities with a corresponding charge to
profit or loss for the period or in the costs of relevant assets according to the beneficiaries of services
provided by employees in the accounting period in which employees provide services to the Group.Staff welfare expenses incurred by the Group are recognized in profit or loss for the period or the
costs of relevant assets based on the actually occurred amounts when they actually occurred. Non-
monetary staff welfare expenses are measured at fair value.- 59 -CHINA MERCHANTS PORT GROUP CO. LTD.NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

in accordance with relevant requirements are calculated according to prescribed bases and
percentages in determining the amount of employee benefits and recognized as relevant liabilities
with a corresponding charge to profit or loss for the period or the costs of relevant assets in the
accounting period in which employees provide services.
22.2 Post-employment benefits
Post-employment benefits refer to the rewards and benefits of various forms provided by the Group
after the employees have retired or terminated the labor relationship with the enterprise for the
services rendered by the employees except the short-term benefits and the termination benefits.The post-employment benefits consist of the pension insurance the annuity the unemployment
insurance and other post-employment benefits.Post-employment benefit plans are classified by the Group into defined contribution plans and
defined benefit plans. The post-employment benefit plan refers to the agreements the Group entered
into with the employees on the post-employment benefits or the regulations or measures established
by the Group for provisions of the post-employee benefits among which the defined contribution
plans refer to the post-employment benefit plan under which the Group shall no longer undertake
any obligations of payments after paying fixed expenses to independent funds; the defined benefit
plans refer to the post-employment benefit plans other than the defined contribution plans. During
the accounting period in which employees render services to the Group the amounts payable
calculated based on the defined contribution plans are recognized as liabilities and included in profit
or loss for the period or costs of related assets.For defined benefit plans the Group attributes the welfare obligations arising from the defined
benefit plans to the period in which employees provide services to the Group according to the
formula determined based on the projected cumulative benefit unit method and includes them in
profit or loss for the period or costs of related assets. Defined benefit costs are categorized as follows:
* Service cost (including current service cost past service cost as well as gains and losses on
settlements);
* Net interest of net liabilities or assets of defined benefit plans (including interest income of
planned assets interest expenses of defined benefit plan liabilities and effect of asset ceiling);
and
* Changes arising from remeasurement of net liabilities or net assets of defined benefit plans.- 60 -CHINA MERCHANTS PORT GROUP CO. LTD.NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

liabilities (assets) (including actuarial gains and losses the return on planned assets excluding
amounts included in net interest on net defined benefit liabilities (assets) and any changes in the
effect of the asset ceiling excluding amounts included in net interest on net defined benefit
liabilities (assets)) are recognized in other comprehensive income.The deficit or surplus resulting from the present value of the defined benefit plan obligations less
the fair value of the defined benefit plan assets is recognized as a net defined benefit plan liability
or net asset.
22.3 Termination benefits
Termination benefits refer to the compensations the Group pay to the employees for terminating the
employment relationship with employees before the expiry of the employment contracts or
encouraging employees to accept voluntary redundancy. When the Group provides termination
benefits to employees employee benefit liabilities are recognized for termination benefits with a
corresponding charge to profit or loss for the period at the earlier of: (1) when the Group cannot
unilaterally withdraw the offer of termination benefits because of the termination plan or a
curtailment proposal; and (2) when the Group has a detailed and formal restructuring plan involving
the payment of dismissal benefit; In addition the restructuring plan has been implemented or the
main contents of the plan have been notified to the affected parties so that all parties have formed
a reasonable expectation that the Group will implement the restructuring.
22.4 Other long-term employee benefits
Other long-term employee benefits refer to all employee benefits except for short-term benefits
post-employment benefits and termination benefits.Other long-term employee benefits that qualify as defined contribution plans are treated in
accordance with the relevant provisions of the defined contribution plans mentioned above except
that the net liability or net asset for other long-term employee benefits is recognized and measured
in accordance with the relevant provisions of the defined benefit plans. At the end of the reporting
period employee compensation costs arising from other long-term employee benefits are
recognized as three components: service cost net interest on net liability or net asset for other long-
term employee benefits and changes resulting from the remeasurement of the net liability or net
asset for other long-term employee benefits. The total net amount of these items is included in profit
or loss for the period or in the costs of related assets.- 61 -CHINA MERCHANTS PORT GROUP CO. LTD.NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The Group provides internal retirement benefits to employees accepting the internal retirement
arrangements. Internal retirement benefits refer to the payments of salaries and social security
contributions for employees who have not reached the retirement age regulated by the country and
are approved to quit the job voluntarily. For internal retirement benefits the internal retirement
benefits the Group is expected to pay during the period from the date when employees stop
providing services to the date of normal retirement are recognized as liabilities at the present
valueand included in profit or loss for the period when relevant recognition requirements of the
internal retirement benefits are met.
23. Share-based payments
A share-based payment is a transaction which the Group grants equity instruments in return for
services rendered by employees or other parties. The Group's share-based payments include equity-
settled share-based payments.Equity-settled share-based payments in exchange for services rendered by employees are measured
at fair value of the equity instruments granted to employees at the grant date. Such amount is
recognized as related costs or expenses on a straight-line basis over the vesting period based on the
best estimate of the number of equity instruments expected to vest/ as related costs or expenses at
the grant date if the equity instruments could be vested immediately with a corresponding increase
in capital reserve.
24. Bonds payable
The Group's bonds payable are measured at fair value when initially recognized and relevant
transaction costs are included in the initially recognized amount. It is subsequently measured at
amortized cost.The difference between the bond issue price and the total face value of the bonds is regarded as the
bond premium or discount which is amortized at the time of interest accrual according to the
effective interest method during the duration of the bonds and is treated according to the principle
of handling borrowing costs.
25. Preference shares perpetual bonds and other financial instruments
The actual issue price for the issuance of equity instruments is included in shareholders' equity after
deducting relevant transaction costs from shareholders’ equity (capital reserve). If the capital
reserve is insufficient to offset surplus reserve and retained earnings will be offset in turn. The
consideration and transaction costs paid for repurchasing the Group's equity instruments reduce
shareholders’ equity.- 62 -CHINA MERCHANTS PORT GROUP CO. LTD.NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

25. Preference shares perpetual bonds and other financial instruments - continued
The Group classifies financial instruments or their components as financial liabilities or equity
instruments at initial recognition based on the contractual terms of the issued perpetual bonds and
their reflected economic substance combined with the definitions of financial liabilities and equity
instruments.For financial instruments such as perpetual bonds classified as equity instruments interest expense
or dividend (dividend) distributions are treated as profit distributions of the Group and their
repurchases write-offs etc. are treated as changes in equity and related transaction costs are
deducted from equity.
26. Revenue recognition
26.1 Disclosure of accounting policies adopted for revenue recognition and measurement by type
of business
Revenue refers to the total inflow of economic benefits formed in the daily activities of the Group
which will lead to the increase of owner's equity and has nothing to do with the capital invested by
owners. The Group's revenue is mainly from port business bonded logistics business and other
businesses.The Group recognizes revenue based on the transaction price allocated to the performance
obligation when the Group satisfies a performance obligation in the contract namely when the
customer obtains control over relevant goods or services. A performance obligation is a
commitment that the Group transfers a distinct goods or service to a customer in the contract. The
transaction price is the amount of consideration to which the Group expects to be entitled in
exchange for transferring promised goods or services to a customer excluding amounts collected
on behalf of third parties and amounts expected to be refunded to a customer. The transaction price
recognized by the Group does not exceed the amount of accumulated recognized revenue that is
unlikely to be significantly reversed when the relevant uncertainty is eliminated.The Group evaluates the contract on the contract start date identifies each individual performance
obligation contained in the contract and determines whether each individual performance
obligation is performed within a certain period or at a certain time point. It is a performance
obligation satisfied during a period of time and the Group recognizes revenue during a period of
time according to the progress of performance if one of the following conditions is met: (i) the
customer obtains and consumes economic benefits at the same time of the Group's performance; (ii)
the customer is able to control goods or services in progress during the Group's performance; (iii)
goods or services generated during the Group's performance have irreplaceable utilization and the
Group is entitled to collect amounts of cumulative performance part which have been done up to
now. Otherwise revenue is recognized at a point in time when the customer obtains control over
the relevant goods or services.- 63 -CHINA MERCHANTS PORT GROUP CO. LTD.NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

26. Revenue recognition - continued
26.1 Disclosure of accounting policies adopted for revenue recognition and measurement by type
of business - continued
The Group adopts output method i.e. the value of goods or services transferred to customers to
determine the appropriate progress of performance. Where the progress cannot be determined
reasonably the revenue is recognized based on the amount of cost that is expected to be
compensated based on the cost already incurred until the progress of performance is reasonably
determined.Contract assets refer to the right that the Group has transferred goods or services to customers and
is entitled to receive consideration and the right depends on other factors other than the passage of
time. Please refer to Note (IV) 11 for details of the accounting policies for the impairment of
contract assets. The Group's unconditional (that is only depending on the passage of time) right to
collect consideration from customers is separately listed as receivables.Contract liabilities refer to the Group's obligation to transfer goods or services to a customer for
consideration received or receivable from the customer.Contract assets and contract liabilities under the same contract are presented in net amount.If there are two or more of performance obligations included in the contract at the inception of the
contract the Group allocates the transaction price to each single performance obligation based on
the proportion of stand-alone selling price of goods or services promised in each stand-alone
performance obligation. However if there is conclusive evidence indicating that the contract
discount or variable consideration is only relative with one or more (not the whole) performance
obligations in the contract the Group will allocate the contract discount or variable consideration
to relative one or more performance obligations. Stand-alone selling price refers to the price of a
single sale of goods or services. If the stand-alone selling price cannot be observed directly the
Group estimates the stand-alone selling price through comprehensive consideration of all relative
information that can be reasonably acquired and maximum use of observable inputs.In case of the existence of variable consideration (such as sales discount) in the contract the Group
shall determine the best estimate of variable consideration based on the expected value or the most
probably occurred amount. The transaction price including variable consideration shall not exceed
the amount of the cumulatively recognized revenue which is unlikely to be significantly reversed
when relevant uncertainty is eliminated. At each balance sheet date the Group re-estimates the
amount of variable consideration which should be included in transaction price.If the customer pays non-cash consideration the Group determines the transaction price based on
the fair value of the non-cash consideration. If the fair value of non-cash consideration cannot be
reasonably estimated the Group shall determine the transaction price indirectly by reference to the
stand-alone selling price of the goods or services promised to transfer to the customer.- 64 -CHINA MERCHANTS PORT GROUP CO. LTD.NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

26.1 Disclosure of accounting policies adopted for revenue recognition and measurement by type
of business - continued
In case of the existence of a significant financing component in the contract the Group shall
determine the transaction price on the assumption that the customer has paid the amount payable
by cash when obtaining the control over the goods or services. Differences between transaction
price and contract consideration are amortized using effective interest method during the contract
life. At the inception of the contract if the period between when the Group transfers a promised
goods or service to a customer and when the customer pays for that goods or service will be one
year or less the Group would not consider the significant component in the contract.The Group assesses whether it controls each specified goods or service before that goods or service
is transferred to the customer to determine whether the Group is a principal or an agent. If the Group
controls the specified good or service before that good or service is transferred to a customer the
Group is a principal and recognizes revenue in the gross amount of consideration received or
receivable. Otherwise the Group is an agent and recognizes revenue in the amount of any fee or
commission to which it expects to be entitled. The fee or commission is the net amount of
consideration that the Group retains after paying the other party the consideration received in
exchange for the goods or services to be provided by that party or is determined in accordance with
the established commission amount or percentage etc.Where the Group receives receipts in advance from a customer for sales of goods or rendering of
services the amount is first recognized as a liability and then transferred to revenue when the related
performance obligation has been satisfied. When the Group's advance payments received are not
required to be refunded and it is probable that the customer will waive all or part of its contractual
rights the Group recognizes the said amounts as revenue on a pro-rata basis in accordance with the
pattern of exercise of the customer's contractual rights if the Group expects to be entitled to the
amounts relating to the contractual rights waived by the customer; otherwise the Group reverses
the related balance of the said liabilities to revenue only when it is highly unlikely that the customer
will require performance of the remaining performance obligations.For port business the revenue from the handling of containers and bulk cargos is recognized over
time based on the progress of completed services and the revenue from the storage of containers
and bulk cargos is recognized on a straight-line basis over the period of storage.For bonded logistics business the revenue is recognized based on the progress of services rendered
where the progress of completed services is determined based on the proportion of days on services
provided to the estimated total number of service days. As at the balance sheet date the Group has
re-estimated the progress of completed bonded logistics service so that it reflects the changes in
performance status.- 65 -CHINA MERCHANTS PORT GROUP CO. LTD.NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

26.2 Similar operations under different business models which involve different revenue
recognition and measurement methods
The Group has no similar operations under different business models which involve different
revenue recognition and measurement methods.
26.3 Costs of obtaining a contract
For the incremental cost of obtaining the contract (cost that will not occur if the contract is not
obtained) that is expected to be recoverable it is recognized as an asset. If the amortization period
of such asset is less than one year it is recognized in profit or loss for the period when incurred.Other expenses incurred for obtaining the contract is included in profit or loss for the period when
incurred except for those explicitly assumed by the customer.
26.4 Costs to fulfil a contract
If the costs incurred in fulfilling a contract are not within the scope of any standards other than
Revenue Standards the Group recognizes an asset only if those costs meet all of the following
criteria: (1) the costs relate directly to a contract or to an anticipated contract that the Group can
specifically identify; (2) the costs enhance resources of the Group that will be used in satisfying
performance obligations in the future; and (3) the costs are expected to be recovered. The asset
mentioned above shall be amortized on a basis that is consistent with the revenue recognition of the
goods or services to which the asset relates and recognized in profit or loss for the period.
27. Government grants
Government grants refer to monetary assets and non-monetary assets obtained by the Group from
the government free of charge. Government grants are recognized when they can meet the
conditions attached to government grants and can be received.If a government grant is in the form of a transfer of a monetary asset it is measured at the amount
received or receivable. If a government grant is in the form of a non-monetary asset it is measured
at fair value. If the fair value cannot be reliably determined it is measured at a nominal amount. A
government grant measured at a nominal amount is recognized immediately in profit or loss for the
period.- 66 -CHINA MERCHANTS PORT GROUP CO. LTD.NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

27.1 Determination basis and accounting treatment of government grant related to assets
Government grants of the Group mainly include grants for intelligent system etc. and these
government grants relate to assets as they will form long-term assets.A government grant related to an asset is recognized as deferred income and included in profit or
loss by stages over the useful life of the related asset in a reasonable and systematic way. A
government grant measured at a nominal amount is recognized immediately in profit or loss in the
current period. Where the relevant asset is sold transferred retired or damaged prior to the end of
its useful life the related undistributed deferred income is transferred to profit or loss of the disposal
period.
27.2 Determination basis and accounting treatment of government grant related to income
Government grants of the Group mainly include grants for business development and specialized
operations etc. and these government grants relate to income as they will not form long-term assets.The Group classifies government grants that are difficult to be distinguished as government grants
related to income aggregately.For a government grant related to income if the grant is a compensation for related expenses or
losses to be incurred in subsequent periods the grant is recognized as deferred income and
recognized in profit or loss for the period in which the related costs or losses are recognized; If the
grant is a compensation for related expenses or losses already incurred the grant is recognized
immediately in profit or loss.A government grant related to the Group's daily activities is recognized in other income; a
government grant not related to the Group's daily activities is recognized in non-operating income.
28. Borrowing costs
Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition construction or production of qualifying
asset are capitalized when expenditures for such asset and borrowing costs are incurred and
activities relating to the acquisition construction or production of the asset that are necessary to
prepare the asset for its intended use or sale have commenced. Capitalization of borrowing costs
ceases when the qualifying asset being acquired constructed or produced becomes ready for its
intended use or sale. Capitalization of borrowing costs is suspended during periods in which the
acquisition construction or production of a qualifying asset is interrupted abnormally and when the
interruption is for a continuous period of more than 3 months. Capitalization is suspended until the
acquisition construction or production of the asset is resumed. Other borrowing costs are
recognized as an expense in the period in which they are incurred.- 67 -CHINA MERCHANTS PORT GROUP CO. LTD.NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

28. Borrowing costs - continued
Where funds are borrowed under a specific-purpose borrowing the amount of interest to be
capitalized is the actual interest expense incurred on that borrowing for the period less any bank
interest earned from depositing the borrowed funds before being used on the asset or any investment
income on the temporary investment of those funds. Where funds are borrowed under general-
purpose borrowings the Group determines the amount of interest to be capitalized on such
borrowings by applying a capitalization rate to the weighted average of the excess of cumulative
expenditures on the asset over the amounts of specific-purpose borrowings. The capitalization rate
is the weighted average of the interest rates applicable to the general-purpose borrowings. During
the capitalization period exchange differences related to a specific-purpose borrowing denominated
in foreign currency are all capitalized. Exchange differences in connection with general-purpose
borrowings are recognized in profit or loss for the period in which they are incurred.
29. Income tax
The income tax expenses include current income tax and deferred income tax.
29.1 Current income tax
At the balance sheet date current income tax liabilities (or assets) for the current and prior periods
are measured at the amount expected to be paid (or recovered) according to the requirements of tax
laws.
29.2 Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities
For temporary differences between the carrying amounts of certain assets or liabilities and their tax
base or between the nil carrying amount of those items that are not recognized as assets or liabilities
and their tax base that can be determined according to tax laws deferred tax assets and liabilities
are recognized using the balance sheet liability method.Deferred income tax are generally recognized for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax
assets for deductible temporary differences are recognized to the extent that it is probable that
taxable profits will be available against which the deductible temporary differences can be utilized.However for temporary differences associated with the initial recognition of goodwill and the
initial recognition of an asset or liability arising from a transaction which is not a business
combination that affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profits (or deductible losses) and
will not result in taxable temporary differences and deductible temporary differences in equivalent
amounts at the time of transaction no deferred tax asset or liability is recognized.For deductible losses and tax credits that can be carried forward deferred tax assets are recognized
to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the
deductible losses and tax credits can be utilized.- 68 -CHINA MERCHANTS PORT GROUP CO. LTD.NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences associated with
investments in subsidiaries associates and joint ventures except where the Group is able to control
the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences and it is probable that the temporary
differences will not be reversed in the foreseeable future. Deferred tax assets arising from deductible
temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries associates and joint ventures are
recognized to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which
the deductible temporary differences can be utilized and they are expected to be reversed in the
foreseeable future.At the balance sheet date deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates applicable
in the period in which the asset is realized or the liability is settled according to tax laws.Current and deferred tax expenses or income are recognized in profit or loss for the period except
when they arise from transactions or events that are directly recognized in other comprehensive
income or shareholders' equity in which case they are recognized in other comprehensive income
or shareholders' equity and when they arise from business combinations in which case they adjust
the carrying amount of goodwill.At the balance sheet date the carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed and reduced if it
is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available in the future to allow the benefit
of deferred tax assets to be utilized. Any such reduction in amount is reversed when it becomes
probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available.
29.3 Income tax offsetting
When the Group has a legal right to settle on a net basis and intends either to settle on a net basis
or to realize the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously current tax assets and current tax
liabilities are offset and presented on a net basis.When the Group has a legal right to settle current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis and
deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation
authority on either the same taxable entity or different taxable entities which intend either to settle
current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis or to realize the assets and liabilities simultaneously
in each future period in which significant amounts of deferred tax assets or liabilities are expected
to be reversed deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset and presented on a net basis.- 69 -CHINA MERCHANTS PORT GROUP CO. LTD.NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

30. Transactions denominated in foreign currencies and translation of financial
statements denominated in foreign currencies
30.1 Transactions denominated in foreign currencies
A foreign currency transaction is recorded on initial recognition by applying the spot exchange
rate on the date of the transaction.At the balance sheet date foreign currency monetary items are translated into functional currency
using the spot exchange rates at the balance sheet date. Exchange differences arising from the
differences between the spot exchange rates prevailing at the balance sheet date and those on initial
recognition or at the previous balance sheet date are recognized in profit or loss for the period
except that (1) exchange differences related to a specific-purpose borrowing denominated in foreign
currency that qualify for capitalization are capitalized as part of the cost of the qualifying asset
during the capitalization period; (2) exchange differences related to hedging instruments for the
purpose of hedging against foreign currency risks are accounted for using hedge accounting; (3)
exchange differences arising from changes in the carrying amounts (other than the amortized cost)
of monetary items at fair value through other comprehensive income are recognized as other
comprehensive income.When the consolidated financial statements include foreign operation(s) if there is foreign currency
monetary item constituting a net investment in a foreign operation exchange differences arising
from changes in exchange rates are recognized as "exchange differences arising from translation of
financial statements denominated in foreign currencies" in other comprehensive income and in
profit or loss for the period upon disposal of the foreign operation.Foreign currency non-monetary items measured at historical cost are translated to the amounts in
functional currency at the spot exchange rates on the dates of the transactions. Foreign currency
non-monetary items measured at fair value are re-translated at the spot exchange rate on the date
when the fair value is determined. Difference between the re-translated functional currency amount
and the original functional currency amount is treated as changes in fair value (including changes
in exchange rate) and is recognized in profit or loss or as other comprehensive income.- 70 -CHINA MERCHANTS PORT GROUP CO. LTD.NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

30.2 Translation of financial statements denominated in foreign currencies
For the purpose of preparing the consolidated financial statements financial statements of a foreign
operation are translated from the foreign currency into RMB using the following method: assets
and liabilities on the balance sheet are translated at the spot exchange rate prevailing at the balance
sheet date; shareholders' equity items except for translation differences arising from translation of
foreign currency financial statements items in retained earnings and other comprehensive income
are translated at the spot exchange rates at the dates on which such items arose; all items in the
income statement as well as items reflecting the distribution of profits are translated at the average
exchange rates of the accounting period of the consolidated financial statements; retained earnings
at the beginning of the year are the converted year-end retained earnings of the previous year. The
year-end retained earnings are calculated and presented in accordance with the items of profit
distribution after conversion. The difference between the translated assets and the aggregate of
liabilities and shareholders' equity items is recognized as other comprehensive income and included
in shareholders' equity.Cash flows arising from a transaction in foreign currency and the cash flows of a foreign subsidiary
are translated at average exchange rate during the accounting period of consolidated financial
statements. The effect of exchange rate changes on cash and cash equivalents is regarded as a
reconciling item and presented separately in the cash flow statement as "effect of exchange rate
changes on cash and cash equivalents".The amount at the beginning of the year and the comparative figures of previous year are presented
at the translated amounts in the previous year's financial statements.On disposal of the Group's entire interest in a foreign operation or upon a loss of control over a
foreign operation due to disposal of certain interest in it or other reasons the Group transfers the
accumulated exchange differences arising from translation of financial statements of this foreign
operation attributable to the owners' equity of the Company and presented under other
comprehensive income to profit or loss in the period in which the disposal occurs.In case of a disposal of part equity investments or other reason leading to lower interest percentage
in foreign operations but does not result in the Group losing control over a foreign operation the
exchange differences arising from the translation difference of financial statements denominated in
foreign currencies related to this disposed part are re-attributed to non-controlling interests and are
not recognized in profit or loss. For partial disposals of equity interests in foreign operations which
are associates or joint ventures the proportionate share of the accumulated exchange differences
arising from translation difference of financial statements denominated in foreign currencies is
reclassified to profit or loss.- 71 -CHINA MERCHANTS PORT GROUP CO. LTD.NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

31. Leases
A lease is a contract in which the lessor for a certain period of time gives the lessee the right to
use the assets to obtain a consideration.On the contract start date the Group assesses whether the contract is a lease or includes a lease. If
one party in the contract transfers the right to control the use of one or more identified assets within
a certain period in exchange for consideration the contract is a lease or includes a lease. Unless the
contract terms and conditions change the Group will not re-evaluate whether the contract is a lease
or includes a lease.
31.1 The Group as lessee
31.1.1 Separating components of a lease
For a contract that contains one or more lease components or non-lease components the Group
separates each individual lease and non-lease component and allocates the contract consideration
in the relative proportion of the sum of the individual price of each lease component and the
individual price of the non-lease component.
31.1.2 Right-of-use assets
Except for short-term leases and leases of low-value assets the Group recognizes the right-of-use
assets of the leases at the commencement date. The commencement date of the lease is the date
from which the lessor provides the leased assets to make them available for use by the Group. Right-
of-use assets are initially measured at cost. The cost includes:
* the amount of the initial measurement of the lease liabilities.* any lease payments made at or before the commencement date less any lease incentives.* any initial direct costs incurred by the Group.* an estimate of costs to be incurred by the Group in dismantling and removing the underlying
asset restoring the site on which it is located or restoring the underlying asset to the condition
required by the terms and conditions of the lease.Right-of-use assets are depreciated by the Group in accordance with the ASBE No.4 Fixed Assets.If the Group is reasonably certain that the lease will transfer ownership of the underlying asset to
the Group by the end of the lease term the right-of-use assets are depreciated from the
commencement date to the end of the useful life of the underlying asset. Otherwise the right-of-
use assets are depreciated from the commencement date to the earlier of the end of the useful life
of the right-of-use assets or the end of the lease term.- 72 -CHINA MERCHANTS PORT GROUP CO. LTD.NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

31.1.3 Lease liabilities
Except for short-term leases and leases of low-value assets the Group initially measures lease
liabilities at the present value of the outstanding lease payments at the commencement date. In
calculating the present value of the lease payments the Group uses the implicit interest rate of the
lease as the discount rate. If it is not possible to determine the implicit interest rate of the lease the
incremental borrowing rate shall be applied.The lease payments comprise the following payments by the Group for the right to use the
underlying asset during the lease term:
* fixed payments (including in-substance fixed payments) less any lease incentives.* variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate.* the exercise price of a purchase option if the Group is reasonably certain to exercise that
option.* payments for terminating the lease if the lease term reflects the Group exercising an option
to terminate the lease.* amounts expected to be payable by the Group under residual value guarantees.Variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate are initially measured using the index or
rate as at the commencement date. Variable lease payments not included in the measurement of the
lease liabilities are recognized in profit or loss or in the cost of relevant assets in the period of
those payments.After the commencement date interest expenses on the lease liabilities in each period during the
lease term is calculated by a constant periodic rate of interest and included in profit or loss or
charged to cost of related assets.After the commencement date the Group shall remeasure the lease liabilities and make
corresponding adjustments to the related right-of-use assets in the following circumstances. If the
carrying amount of the right-of-use assets is reduced to zero and there is a further reduction in the
measurement of the lease liabilities the Group shall recognize the difference in profit or loss:
* where there is a change in the lease term or in the assessment of an option to purchase the
underlying asset the Group remeasures the lease liabilities on the basis of the revised leases
payments and the revised discount rate.* where there is a change in the amounts expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee
or in future lease payments resulting from a change in an index or a rate used to determine
those payments the Group remeasures the lease liabilities on the basis of the revised lease
payments and the unchanged discount rate unless the change in the lease payments results
from a change in floating interest rates in which case a revised discount rate is applied to
calculate the present value.- 73 -CHINA MERCHANTS PORT GROUP CO. LTD.NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

31.1.4 Short-term leases and leases of low-value assets
The Group elects not to recognize right-of-use assets or lease liabilities for short-term leases and
leases of low-value assets i.e. port and terminal facilities buildings machinery and equipment
furniture fixture and other equipment motor vehicles and cargo ships and others. A short-term
lease is a lease that at the commencement date has a lease term of 12 months or less and does not
contain a call option. A lease of low-value assets is a lease that the value of the underlying asset is
lower when it is new. For short-term leases and leases of low-value assets the Group recognizes
the lease payments in profit or loss or in the cost of related assets on a straight-line basis over each
period within the lease term.
31.1.5 Lease modifications
A lease modification should be accounted for as a separate lease if both of the following apply:
* the modification increases the scope of the lease by adding the right to use one or more
underlying assets.* the consideration for the lease increases by an amount commensurate with the stand-alone
price for the increase in scope and any appropriate adjustments to that stand-alone price
according to the circumstances of the particular contract.For a lease medication that is not accounted for as a separate lease at the effective date of the lease
modification the Group should allocate the consideration in the modified contract determine the
lease term of the modified lease and remeasure the lease liabilities based on the present value of the
changed lease payments and the revised discount rate.For lease modifications that decrease the scope of the lease or shorten the term of the lease the
Group should decrease the carrying amount of the right-of-use assets with any gain or loss relating
to the partial or full termination of the lease recognized in profit or loss. For re-measurement of
lease liabilities due to other lease modifications a corresponding adjustment is made to the carrying
amount of the right-of-use assets.- 74 -CHINA MERCHANTS PORT GROUP CO. LTD.NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Group shall continue to recognize the transferred assets recognize a financial liability equal to the
transfer proceeds and accounts for such financial liability in accordance with the Accounting
Standards for Business Enterprises No. 22 - Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement.If the transfer of an asset is a sale the Group shall measure the right-of-use assets arising from the
leaseback at the proportion of the previous carrying amount of the asset that relates to the right of
use and recognize any gain or loss for rights transferred to the lessor only.
31.2 The Group as lessor
31.2.1 Separating components of a lease
For a contract that contains lease components and non-lease components the Group allocates the
contract consideration in accordance with the Revenue Standards on allocation of transaction prices
based on the respective individual prices of the lease components and the non-lease components.
31.2.2 Classification of leases
Leases are classified as finance leases whenever the terms of the lease transfer substantially all the
risks and rewards of ownership. All other leases are classified as operating leases.
31.2.2.1 The Group as lessor under operating leases
The Group recognizes lease receipts from operating leases as rental income using a straight-line
method over the respective periods of the lease term. The Group's initial direct costs incurred in
connection with operating leases are capitalized when the costs incurred and are allocated to profit
or loss for the period over the lease term on the same basis as the recognition of rental income.Variable lease receipts acquired by the Group in connection with operating leases that are not
included in the lease receipts are recognized in profit or loss for the period when they are actually
incurred.- 75 -CHINA MERCHANTS PORT GROUP CO. LTD.NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

the net lease investment with assets under finance lease derecognized. The net lease investment is
the sum of any unguaranteed residual value and the present value of the lease receipts over the lease
term discounted at the interest rate implicit in lease.The lease receivable comprises the following payments collected by the Group from the lessee for
the transfer of the right to use the underlying assets during the lease term:
* fixed payments (including in-substance fixed payments) paid by the lessee less any lease
incentives.* variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate.* the exercise price of a purchase option provided that it is reasonably determined that the
lessee will exercise the option.* payments for terminating the lease provided that the lease term reflects that the lessee will
exercise the option to terminate the lease;
* residual value of guarantee provided to the Group by the lessee a party related to the lessee
and an independent third party with the financial ability to fulfil the guarantee obligations.Variable lease receipts not included in the net lease investment are recognized in profit or loss when
they are actually incurred.Interest income for each period over the lease term is calculated and recognized by the Group at a
fixed periodic rate.
31.2.3 Subleases
As the lessor of a sublease the Group accounts for the original lease contract and the sublease
contract on a separate basis. The Group classifies the subleases based on the right-of-use assets
generating from the original lease rather than the underlying assets of the original lease.- 76 -CHINA MERCHANTS PORT GROUP CO. LTD.NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

31.2.4 Lease modifications
The Group accounts for a modification to an operating lease as a new lease from the effective date
of the modification considering any lease advances or receivables relating to the original lease as
the lease receipts for the new lease.A lease modification should be accounted for as a separate lease if there is a modification in a
finance lease and both of the followings apply:
* the modification increases the scope of the lease by adding the right to use one or more
underlying assets; and
* the consideration for the lease increases by an amount commensurate with the stand-alone
price for the increase in scope with any appropriate adjustment to that stand-alone price.For a modification to a finance lease that is not accounted for as a separate lease the Group accounts
for the modification as follows:
* If the lease would have been classified as an operating lease had the modification been
effective at the commencement date the Group should account for the lease modification as
a new lease from the effective date of the modification and measure the carrying amount of
the underlying assets at the amount equal to the net lease investment before the effective date
of the modification;
* If the lease would have been classified as a finance lease had the modification been effective
at the commencement date the Group should account for it in accordance with the provisions
on contract modification and renegotiation under Accounting Standards for Business
Enterprises No. 22 - Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement.
31.2.5 Sale and leaseback transactions
The Group as the buyer-lessor
If the transfer of an asset in a sale and leaseback transaction does not constitute a sale the Group
does not recognize the transferred asset but a financial asset at an amount equal to the transfer
proceeds and accounts for such financial asset under the Accounting Standards for Business
Enterprises No. 22 - Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement. If the transfer of an
asset constitutes a sale the Group accounts for the purchase of the asset in accordance with other
applicable Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises and accounts for the lease of the asset.- 77 -CHINA MERCHANTS PORT GROUP CO. LTD.NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

32. Safety production cost
According to the Administrative Measures for the Collection and Utilization of Enterprise Work
Safety Funds (Cai Zi [2022] No. 136) jointly issued by the Ministry of Finance and the Emergency
Department on 13 December 2022 safety production cost set aside by the Group is directly included
in the cost of relevant products or recognized in profit or loss for the period and transferred to
specific reserve simultaneously. When safety production cost set aside is utilized if the costs
incurred can be categorized as expenditure the costs incurred should be charged against the specific
reserve. If the costs set aside are used to build up fixed assets the costs should be charged to
construction in progress and reclassified to fixed assets when the safety projects are ready for
intended use. Meantime expenditures in building up fixed assets are directly charged against the
specific reserve with the accumulated depreciation recognized at the same amount. Depreciation
will not be made in the future period on such fixed assets.
33. Exchange of non-monetary assets
When the non-monetary assets are of commercial substance and the fair value of assets received or
the assets given up can be measured reliably the non-monetary transactions are measured at fair
value. For the asset received the fair value of the asset given up and related taxes payable are
recognized as the cost at initial recognition; For the asset given up at derecognition the difference
between the fair value and the carrying amount is recognized in profit or loss for the current period.When there is clear evidence indicating that the fair value of the received asset is more reliable for
the asset received the fair value of the asset received and related taxes payable are recognized as
the cost at initial recognition; For the asset given up at derecognition the difference between the
fair value of the asset received and the carrying amount of the asset given up is recognized in profit
or loss for the current period.When the non-monetary transactions fail to meet criteria to be measured at fair value the
transactions are measured at carrying amounts. For the asset received the carrying amount of the
asset given up and relevant taxes payable are recognized as the cost of at initial recognition. For the
asset given up at derecognition no profit or loss is recognized.- 78 -CHINA MERCHANTS PORT GROUP CO. LTD.NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(V) CRITICAL JUDGMENTS IN APPLYING ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND KEY
ASSUMPTIONS AND UNCERTAINTIES IN ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES
In the application of accounting policies and accounting estimates as set out in Note (IV) the Group
is required to make judgments estimates and assumptions about the carrying amounts of items in
the financial statements that cannot be measured accurately due to the internal uncertainty of the
operating activities. These judgments estimates and assumptions are based on historical experience
of the Group's management as well as other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results
may differ from these estimates.The Group regularly reviews the judgments estimates and assumptions on a going concern basis.Changes in accounting estimates which only affect the current period should be recognized in the
current period; changes which not only affect the current but the future periods should be recognized
in the current and future periods.
1. Key assumptions and uncertainties used in important judgments and accounting
estimates
At the balance sheet date key assumptions and uncertainties in critical judgments and accounting
estimates that are likely to lead to significant adjustments to the carrying amounts of assets and
liabilities in the future are as follows:
1.1 Goodwill impairment
The book value of goodwill on 31 December 2024 is RMB 5933310929.34. The Group will
conduct impairment testing on goodwill at least annually. For the purpose of impairment testing
the recoverable amount of each assets group and combination of assets groups that generate
goodwill of the Group is determined by fair value less estimated disposal expenses and by the
present value of estimated future cash flows which involve the judgment of management.
1.2 Recognition of deferred income tax
The Group calculates and makes provision for deferred tax liabilities according to the profit
distribution plans of subsidiaries associates and joint ventures and relevant provisions of tax law.For retained earnings of the investee which are not expected to be distributed since the profits will
be used for the daily operation and future development of the investee no deferred tax liabilities
are recognized. If the profits to be actually distributed in future years are more or less than those
expected corresponding deferred tax liabilities will be recognized or reversed in profit or loss for
the period at the earlier of the date on which the profit distribution plan is changed and the date on
which the profit distribution is declared.Deferred tax assets are recognized based on the deductible temporary differences and the
corresponding tax rate to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available
against which the deductible temporary differences can be utilized. If the actual taxable income in
future years are more or less than that expected corresponding deferred tax assets will be
recognized or reversed in profit or loss for the period in which they are actually incurred.- 79 -CHINA MERCHANTS PORT GROUP CO. LTD.NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.3 Estimated useful lives and residual value of fixed assets and intangible assets
The Group assesses the estimated useful lives and residual value of fixed assets and intangible assets.Such estimate is made by reference to the historical experience of actual useful lives and residual
value of fixed assets and intangible assets of similar nature and function and is subject to significant
changes due to technical innovation and fierce industry competition. Where the estimated useful
lives and residual value of fixed assets and intangible assets are less than the previous estimates
the Group will increase the depreciation and amortization or write off or eliminate the technically
obsolete fixed assets or intangible assets.(VI) CHANGES IN SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ACCOUNTING
ESTIMATES
1. Changes in significant accounting policies and their impacts

considers whether the Group has the substantive right to postpone the settlement of liabilities to
more than one year after the balance sheet date (hereinafter referred to as "the right to postpone the
settlement of liabilities") without considering whether the Group has the subjective possibility of
exercising the above rights.For the liabilities arising from the Group's loan arrangements if the right of the Group to postpone
the repayment of the liabilities depends on whether the Group has complied with the conditions
specified in the loan arrangements (hereinafter referred to as "contractual conditions") the Group
only considers the contractual conditions that should be complied with on or before the balance
sheet date when dividing the liquidity of the relevant liabilities without considering the impact of
contractual conditions that should be complied with by the Group after the balance sheet date.- 80 -CHINA MERCHANTS PORT GROUP CO. LTD.NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

When testing the goodwill for impairment the Group compares the carrying amount of related asset
groups and portfolio of asset groups (including goodwill) with the recoverable amount. If the
recoverable amount is less than the carrying amount the difference is included in profit or loss for
the period. The Group determines the recoverable amount of the asset groups and portfolio of asset
groups that generate goodwill at fair value less cost of disposal or at present value of expected future
cash flows. The fair value is determined using market approach. The present value of cash flows is
estimated based on the forecast of cash flows for the projection period between 5 years to 25 years
and steady period. The estimated future cash flows for the projection period are based on the
business plan established by the management; the expected future cash flows for the steady period
are determined in conjunction with the level of the final year of the projection period combined
with the Group's business plans industry trends and inflation rates. The growth rate adopted will
not exceed the long-term average growth rate of the country where the asset groups and portfolio
of asset groups are located. The key assumptions used by the Group in estimating the present value
of future cash flows include growth rate and discount rate etc. The pre-tax discount rate and the
growth rate adopted are 9.55%-23.55% and 2.00% respectively. The parameters of key assumptions
determined by the Group's management are in line with the Group's historical experience or external
source of information.- 109 -CHINA MERCHANTS PORT GROUP CO. LTD.NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(3) Description of performance obligations
The Group provides port service bonded logistics service and other services. These services are
obligations performed over a period of time. For bonded logistics service and other services the
customers evenly obtain and consume the economic benefits from the Group's performance of
contract meanwhile the charging rules as agreed in the contract terms usually adopt
daily/month/yearly basis. During the process of rendering services the Group recognizes revenue
using straight-line method. At the same time the Group is primarily responsible for the above
services and generally does not have any commitment to the amount of money expected to be
returned to the customer.Part of the Group's handling contracts are established with discount terms i.e. the customers whose
business volume reaches agreed level are granted with preferential charge rate or discount. At the
end of the year as the business volume finally realized within the contract period is uncertain the
contract consideration is subject to variable factors. The management includes this part of discount
in other payables and provisions. At the end of the year the variable considerations arising from
sales discount are set out in Note (VIII) 28、Note (VIII) 33 and Note (VIII) 39.

The Group's major financial instruments include cash and bank balances financial assets held for
trading bills receivable accounts receivable receivables under financing other receivables long-
term receivables other non-current financial assets borrowings bills payable accounts payable
other payables other current liabilities non-current liabilities due within one year bonds payable
long-term payables other non-current liabilities etc. Details of these financial instruments are
disclosed in Note (VIII). The risks associated with these financial instruments and the policies on
how to mitigate these risks are set out below. Management of the Group manages and monitors
these exposures to ensure the risks are monitored at a certain level.The Group adopts sensitivity analysis technique to analyse how the profit and loss for the period
and shareholders' equity would have been affected by reasonably possible changes in the relevant
risk variables. As it is unlikely that risk variables will change in an isolated manner and the
interdependence among risk variables will have significant effect on the amount ultimately
influenced by the changes in a single risk variable the following are based on the assumption that
the change in each risk variable is on a stand-alone basis.
1. Risk management objectives policies and procedures and changes for the period
The Group's risk management objectives are to achieve a proper balance between risks and yield
minimise the adverse impacts of risks on the Group's operation performance and maximise the
benefits of the shareholders and other stakeholders. Based on these risk management objectives the
Group's basic risk management strategy is to identify and analyse the Group's exposure to various
risks establish an appropriate maximum tolerance to risk implement risk management and
monitors regularly and effectively these exposures to ensure the risks are monitored at a certain
level.- 164 -CHINA MERCHANTS PORT GROUP CO. LTD.NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.1 Market risk
1.1.1 Currency risk
Currency risk is the risk that losses will occur because of changes in foreign exchange rates. The
Group's exposure to the currency risk is primarily associated with HKD USD EUR and AUS.Except for part of the purchases and sales the Group's other principal activities are denominated
and settled in RMB. As at 31 December 2024 the balances of the Group's assets and liabilities are
both denominated in functional currency except that the assets and liabilities set out below are
recorded using foreign currencies. Currency risk arising from the foreign currency balance of assets
and liabilities may have impact on the Group's performance.Item 31/12/2024 31/12/2023

The Group closely monitors the effects of changes in the foreign exchange rates on the Group's
currency risk exposures. According to the current risk exposure and judgment on the exchange rate
movements the management considers it is unlikely that the exchange rate changes in the next year
will result in significant loss to the Group.- 165 -CHINA MERCHANTS PORT GROUP CO. LTD.NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Sensitivity analysis on currency risk
The assumption for the sensitivity analysis on currency risk is that all the cash flow hedges and
hedges of a net investment in a foreign operation are highly effective. On the basis of the above
assumption where all other variables are held constant the reasonably possible changes in the
foreign exchange rate may have the following pre-tax effect on the profit or loss for the period and

1.1.2 Interest rate risk - changes in cash flows
Risk of changes in cash flows of financial instruments arising from interest rate changes is mainly
related to bank loans with floating interest rate. (See Note (VIII) 24 and Note (VIII) 34). The Group
continuously and closely monitors the impact of interest rate changes on the Group's interest rate
risk. The Group's policy is to maintain these borrowings at floating rates. Presently the Group has
no arrangement such as interest rate swaps.- 166 -CHINA MERCHANTS PORT GROUP CO. LTD.NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Sensitivity analysis on interest rate risk
Sensitivity analysis on interest rate risk is based on the following assumptions:
* Fluctuations of market interest rate can affect the interest income or expense of a financial
instrument with floating interest rate;
* For a financial instrument at fair value with fixed interest rate the fluctuations of market interest rate
can only affect its interest income or expense;
* For a derivative financial instrument designated as hedging instrument the fluctuations of market
interest rate affect its fair value and all interest rate hedges are expected to be highly effective;
* The changes in fair value of derivative financial instruments and other financial assets and liabilities
are calculated using cash flow discounting method by applying the market interest rate at balance
sheet date.On the basis of above assumptions where the other variables held constant the pre-tax effect of
possible and reasonable changes in interest rate on the profit or loss for the period and shareholders'
equity are as follows:

1.2 Credit risk
As at 31 December 2024 the Group's maximum exposure to credit risk which may cause a financial
loss to the Group due to failure to discharge an obligation by the counterparties and financial
guarantees issued by the Group (without considering the available collateral or other credit
enhancements) is arising from cash and bank balances (Note (VIII) 1) bills receivable (Note (VIII)
3) accounts receivable (Note (VIII) 4) other receivables (Note (VIII) 7) long-term receivables
(Note (VIII) 11) etc. At the balance sheet date the carrying amounts of the Group's financial assets
represent its maximum exposure to credit risk. In addition the Group's maximum credit risk
exposure to credit losses includes the amount of financial guarantee contract as disclosed in Note
(XVII) 2 "Contingencies". For financial instruments measured at fair value the book value reflects
its risk exposure but not the maximum risk exposure and its maximum risk exposure will change
with the change of future fair value.- 167 -CHINA MERCHANTS PORT GROUP CO. LTD.NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unless otherwise specified the monetary unit shall be RMB)
(XIII) RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS - continued
1. Risk management objectives policies and procedures and changes for the period
- continued
1.2 Credit risk - continued
In order to minimise the credit risk the Group has delegated a department responsible for
determination of credit limits credit approvals and other monitoring procedures to ensure that
follow-up action is taken to recover overdue debts. In addition the Group reviews the recoverable
amount of financial assets at each balance sheet date to ensure that adequate provision for bad debts
is made for relevant financial assets. In this regard the management of the Group considers that the
Group's credit risk is significantly reduced.The credit risk on cash and bank balances is limited because they are deposited with financial
institutions with high credit ratings.The Group has no significant concentration of credit risk with exposure spread over a number of
counterparties and customers.The Group has adopted a policy to ensure that all sales customers have good credit records.
1.3 Liquidity risk
In the management of the liquidity risk the Group monitors and maintains a level of cash and cash
equivalents deemed adequate by the management to finance the Group's operations and mitigate
the effects of fluctuations in cash flows. The management monitors the utilisation of bank
borrowings and ensures compliance with loan covenants.As at 31 December 2024 the Group had total current liabilities in excess of total current assets of
RMB 6685293596.39. As at 31 December 2024 the Group had available and unused line of credit
and bonds amounting to RMB 40616331020.58 which is greater than the balance of the net
current liabilities. The Group can obtain financial support from the available line of credit and bonds
when needed. Therefore the Group's management believes that the Group has no significant
liquidity risk.The following is the maturity analysis for financial assets and financial liabilities held by the Group
which is based on undiscounted remaining contractual obligations:

between TCP and its subsidiaries and local tax authority employee or former employee
of TCP and its subsidiaries in Brazil at as the year end. The amount involved in the pending
litigation is RMB 804570710.82. At the same time for the pending litigation existing
before the Group's acquisition of TCP the counter compensation agreement in favour of
the Group will be executed by the original TCP shareholders who sell shares. According
to the counter compensation agreement the original TCP shareholders need to compensate
the Group for contingent liabilities and the amount of compensation should not exceed
the predetermined amount and the specified period. According to the latest estimates of
the management of the Company the above pending litigation is unlikely to lead to the
outflow of economic benefits from the enterprise. Therefore the Group has not recognized
the estimated liabilities for the contingent liabilities caused by the above pending litigation.- 187 -CHINA MERCHANTS PORT GROUP CO. LTD.NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

segments are aggregated in arriving at the reporting segments of the Group.From business and location perspectives the management assesses the performance of the Group's
business operations including ports operation bonded logistics operation and other operations.Ports operation
