2. Development stage and cyclical characteristic of the industry in which the Company operates

and its industry position during the reporting period

(1) Macro economic and trade landscape

In the first half of 2023 uncertainties in the global economy have increased with a sluggish economic

recovery. In particular there remained the ongoing geopolitical friction high inflation and large

stockpiles inhibiting consumer demand in developed countries interest rate hikes in Europe and the

United States slowing down the investment growth in emerging markets and China and the UnitedStates have launched a new round of wrestling in the high-tech field. According to the “WorldEconomic Outlook” published by the International Monetary Fund (“IMF”) in July 2023 the global

economy in 2023 was expected to increase by 3.0% representing a decrease of 0.5 percentage points

year-on-year. Specifically developed economies were expected to grow by 1.5% representing a

decrease of 1.2 percentage points year-on-year while emerging markets and developing economies

were expected to grow by 4.0% keeping flat year-on-year. According to the report published by U.S.Department of Commerce the U.S. GDP grew by 2.4% in the second quarter up from 2% in the first

1 2China Merchants Port Group Co. Ltd. Interim Report 2023

quarter. According to statistics of Eurostat in the second quarter of 2023 the Eurozone GDP grew by

0.3% quarter-on-quarter among which German GDP was flat and France grew by 0.5% quarter-on-

quarter. The economic situation in Japan was relatively complex despite in June certain indicators

such as value of industrial output rebounded more than expected its economic and fiscal situation

was still uncertain; while the economy of the South Korea grew better than expected in the second

quarter with GDP up 0.9% year-on-year unchanged from the first quarter. In terms of global trade

the volume of global trade was expected to grow by 2.0% in 2023 representing a decrease of 3.2%

year-on-year. Amidst weak consumption of goods rising uncertainty about the future geoeconomic

conditions sluggish productivity growth and more challenging financial conditions companies have

scaled back investment in capacity.In the first half of 2023 China adhered to the general principle of seeking progress while maintaining

stability under the complex and severe external environment and China's overall economy gradually

recovered with a positive momentum and foreign trade kept stable with its improved quality as

expected. According to the statistics of National Bureau of Statistics of China China’s GDP was

RMB59.30 trillion in the first half of 2023 representing an increase of 5.5% year-on-year at constant

prices. However special attention shall also be paid to the weak recovery of the world economic

slowing global trade and investment increasing unilateralism protectionism and geopolitical risks

as well as the lasting impact of declining external demand on China's foreign trade. According to the

statistics published by the General Administration of Customs of China the total value of imports

and exports of trade in goods in China amounted to RMB20.1 trillion in the first half of 2023

representing an increase of 2.1% year-on-year among which the export value was RMB11.46 trillion

representing an increase of 3.7% year-on-year and the import value was RMB8.64 trillion

representing a decrease of 0.1% year-on-year. The trade surplus was RMB2.82 trillion up 17.4%.The total value of imports and exports in China denominated in US dollar amounted to USD 2.92

trillion representing a decrease of 4.7%.The regionalization trend of global industrial and supply chain was obvious and the implementation

of RCEP has injected impetus into the integrated development of regional economy. The imports and

exports between China and ASEAN denominated in RMB increased by 5.4% year-on-year in the first

half of 2023. Under the trend of diversification and fragmentation of demand cross-border e-

commerce was booming with the cross-border e-commerce imports and exports amounting to RMB

1.1 trillion in the first half of 2023 representing an increase of 16% year-on-year according to the

statistics published by the General Administration of Customs of China. The development of digital

intelligence technologies such as big data artificial intelligence cloud computing Internet of Things

and blockchain has exerted a profound impact on trade patterns structures and landscape. An

interdependent industrial Internet platform ecology will be built to further strengthen the flow of

production factors and commodities and improve the overall efficiency.Looking ahead to the second half of 2023 the risks to global growth remain skewed to the downside

with inflation likely to remain high or even rise in the event of further shocks including those caused

by the intensifying Russia-Ukraine conflict and extreme weather triggering further tightening of

monetary policy. However the likelihood of a more favourable outcome for global growth is also

rising and core inflation may fall faster than expected reducing the need for tighter monetary policy.

1 3China Merchants Port Group Co. Ltd. Interim Report 2023

The IMF expects the global economy to grow by 3.0% in 2023. In advanced economies growth will

continue to slow significantly in 2023 from 2.7% in 2022 to 1.5% in 2023 and 1.4% in 2024. Growth

in emerging market and developing economies is expected to remain broadly stable at 4.0% in 2023

and 4.1% in 2024. Total world trade (including goods and services) is expected to grow by 2.0% in

2023 rising to 3.7% in 2024.

In the second half of 2023 China's real estate sector may contract more than expected weak

confidence leads to weaker-than-expected consumption and possible fiscal tightening in response to

lower local government tax revenues these uncertainties will put some pressure on China's economic

growth. The international market demand may be better than expected consumption growth may

further release potential the trend of digital and green economy continues to strengthen and scientific

and technological innovation will become an important driving force for China's economic

development. In the coming stage the Chinese government will continue to adhere to the general

principle of seeking progress while maintaining stability work hard to smooth the economic cycle

make greater efforts to change the growth model adjust the structure and increase the growth

momentum and strive to achieve effective qualitative improvement and reasonable quantitative

growth of the economy.

(2)Trend analysis of the port and shipping industry

The international shipping industry has been deeply affected by the reshaping of the global industrial

and supply chain which has led to significant adjustments in shipping route layout. According to the

report of Alphaliner a shipping consultancy as at the end of July 2023 the capacity deployed by liner

companies on Asia-Europe routes grew by 3.4% year-on-year and a decrease of 19.1% year-on-year

on trans-Pacific routes. In terms of port of calls the number of liner calls from China at U.S. ports

plummeted and more container cargoes arrived in the United States from Vietnam Mexico and other

regions. According to the report of Lloyd's List the number of goods shipped from China to the

United States fell 17% in 2022; the number of liner calls from China to Vietnam increased by 23%;

the number of liner calls from Vietnam to the United States increased from 44 to 62 representing an

increase of 41%; the number of liner calls from China to Mexico increased by 14% year-on-year; and

the number of direct flights between China and Russia increased to 342 representing an increase of

88% year-on-year.

In 2023 uncertainties in the container transport market increased and the fundamental of supply and

demand was cautiously optimistic. The international freight rates fell sharply and hovered at low

levels. On the supply side the shipping market entered a new round of delivery capacity and the

average port time continued to shorten and the idle capacity of container ships accounted for

approximately 4.4%; while on the demand side Drewry a shipping consultancy expected that the

global port throughput would rise by approximately 1% in 2023. Due to the decline in freight rate

shipping companies have accordingly focused on cost control and business diversification to ensure

profitability including optimizing fleet capacity reducing charter costs and slow sailing extending

both ends of the shipping logistics chain and investing in the field of zero carbon.Affected by the global economy and trade and the international shipping industry plus a slowdown

1 4China Merchants Port Group Co. Ltd. Interim Report 2023

in the growth of the global port industry the container business volume handled in major hub

locations decreased to varying degrees. Drewry a shipping consultancy expected global port

throughput growth of 1% in 2023 and 3% between 2024 and 2027. According to the statistics of

Alphaliner the total container throughput of the world's top 20 ports amounted to 83.43 million TEUs

for the first quarter of 2023 representing a decrease of 11.7% year-on-year. In addition to the Middle

East (Dubai Port) and Northeast Asia (Busan Port) the container throughput handled in ports in other

regions declined in various degrees. In particular ports in the Greater China region handled 51.54

million TEUs representing a decrease of 0.25% year-on-year; ports in Southeast Asia handled 11.07

million TEUs representing a decrease of 2.0% year-on-year; ports in Europe and North America

handled 6.33 million TEUs and 5.35 million TEUs respectively representing a decrease of 8.8% and

29.9% year-on-year. While China's port industry performed well in the first half of 2023 in terms of

the main indicators. According to the statistics published by the Ministry of Transport the

accumulated cargo volume handled by Chinese ports reached 8188.8 million tonnes from January to

June 2023 representing an increase of 8.0% year-on-year and the accumulated container throughput

handled reached 149.19 million TEUs representing an increase of 4.8% year-on-year. Among which

coastal ports handled an accumulated cargo volume of 5331.86 million tonnes representing an

increase of 7.3% year-on- year while the accumulated container throughput was 130.88 million TEUs

representing an increase of 4.2% year-on-year.

(3) The Company’s industry position

The Company is the global leading port investor and operator as one of the top port operators in the

world and has the resource endowment and unique advantages to build a world-class comprehensive

port service provider. In terms of scale the Company has established a relatively complete port

network at major hub locations along coastal China with its presence in 50 ports in 25 countries and

regions including Asia Africa Europe Oceania South and North America. In 2022 the Company's

equity throughput of containers reached 50.6 million TEUs ranking third among the global port

operators. In terms of quality the master terminals controlled by the Company have occupied various

market and regional leading positions continued to promote ESG construction and strived to create

an ESG port benchmark in the industry. In addition leveraging on the good ground of port technology

and based on the TOS system self-developed by CMPort the Company has worked out the worldwide

first full-case full-time all-regime and multi-factor traditional container terminal upgrading solution

and has built the trade facilitation platform for the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area

X. Risks exposed by the Company and counter measures

1. Risk of macroeconomic fluctuations

Internationally the external environment is complex and severe and the global economic recovery is

3 4China Merchants Port Group Co. Ltd. Interim Report 2023

unstable uncertain and uneven. Inflation in major developed economies is still at a high level the

pace of interest rate hikes in Europe and the United States has not stopped the performance of

emerging markets is uneven the international trade and investment slows down and the geopolitical

situation intensifies all these have had an impact on global economic growth and commodity trade

markets and brought challenges to the Company's overseas operations and investments.Domestically China's economy has strong resilience great potential and sufficient vitality. The

fundamentals for long-term growth are still solid. However under the superposition of various factors

exceeding expectations economic development still faces triple pressures of demand contraction

supply shock and weakening expectations.In the face of intricate macroeconomic fluctuations the Company adheres to the global thinking in

planning a layout and the bottom-line thinking of planning ahead. We will accurately identify

scientifically adapt to and actively seek changes. We will (1) work hard on deepening the

implementation of the "14th Five-Year Plan" and the spirit of the 20th National Congress of the

Communist Party of China fully implement the new development concept under the new situation

and optimize the Company’s structure through the transformation and upgrading of the main port

business enhance the momentum of development and promote the high-quality development of the

Company; (2) further give full play to the function of the main hub of the port and deeply implement

national strategies such as the National Unified Market the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater

Bay Area and the development of Yangtze River Delta and the new land-sea corridor in the west

and help build a new development pattern of channel guidance efficient connection and radiation-

driven development; (3) grasp the policy environment of high-level opening-up to the outside world

break down barriers discuss cooperation strengthen connectivity with various regions and

continuously improve the quality and coverage of port services; (4) keep an eye on international

geopolitical development follow up with the reconstruction of global industrial supply chain actively

specialize in trade movements to adjust the Company's business strategies in a timely manner and

prevent the occurrence of major external risk events.

2. Policy risks

There are diverse policy risks in the port industry. Internationally strike actions in different industries

and scales caused by inflation have swept across Europe and the United States seriously affecting

the normal operation of society and the stable recovery of the economy. With the negotiation between

the government and labor a series of new policies and measures may be issued. Domestically China

solidly promotes high-level opening-up to the outside world. It not only makes good use of the global

market and resources to develop itself but also promotes the common development of the world. It

continuously improves the foreign cooperation supervision system and cooperation tools in trade and

investment and other fields and launches a series of import and export policies that are beneficial to

the port industry.Facing the potential policy risks on the one hand the Company will strengthen the policy research

and form an objective and correct understanding in the analysis to provide better decision support for

the Company. On the other hand the Company will continue to improve quality and increase

3 5China Merchants Port Group Co. Ltd. Interim Report 2023

efficiency strengthen rational allocation of resources enhance operational management through

innovative technology and industry digitization actively seek new future growth and improve

sustainable profitability.

3. Operation management risks

Amidst the favorable environment of domestic and overseas ports integration the Company will fully

grasp the investment opportunities of domestic and overseas ports further optimize the network

layout of ports by ways of mergers acquisitions restructuring and integration of resources achieve

high-level synergy between port construction and operation and provide more comprehensive

services for customers around the world. With the deepening of the internationalization process the

Company is also facing negative conditions such as increased difficulties in the operation and

management of ports in some regions and lower returns on investment and operational efficiency.The main risks include: (1) the uncertainty and complexity of the place where we operate which

further increases the risk of investment decisions and the difficulty of investment operation and

management; (2) significant fluctuations of the international exchange rate with the continuous

improvement of the marketization mechanism of the RMB exchange rate two-way fluctuations in

the RMB exchange rate have become the norm and the exchange rates of some developed countries

and emerging markets also entered a downward path; (3) the needs for improvement of the

international operation management system the Company shall take the initiative to improve the

overall operational efficiency to meet the needs arising from the rapid development and expansion of

the enterprises; (4) continuous needs for building a sound corporate risk control system to enhance

our ability to cope with risks.In view of the Company's internal business management risks we will (1) increase customer loyalty

based on three improvement elements namely “ market resources services ” take the initiative to

identify new customers and grasp market opportunities; (2) improve the construction of the internal

control and compliance system strengthen the legal empowerment of business capabilities ensuring

effective risk identification and control and consolidating the foundation of risk control; (3) improve

the risk warning system continue to strengthen risk identification early warning and resolution

capabilities do a good job in key risk prevention and management in a stable and orderly manner

and continuously improve the Company's risk prevention capabilities.

FOR THE PERIOD FROM 1 JANUARY TO 30 JUNE 2023

(Unless otherwise specified the monetary unit shall be RMB.)

(I) GENERAL INFORMATION OF THE COMPANY

China Merchants Port Group Co. Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "the Company") is a stock limited

company incorporated in Shenzhen Guangdong Province on 16 January 1993.The headquarter of the Company is located in Shenzhen Guangdong Province. The Company and

its subsidiaries (collectively referred to as "the Group") are principally engaged in the rendering of

port services bonded logistics services and other businesses such as property development and

investment.The consolidated and Company's financial statements have been approved by the Board of Directors

on 29 August 2023.See Note (X) "Equity in Other Entities" for details of the scope of consolidated financial statements

for the current period. See Note (IX) "Changes in Scope of Consolidation" for details of changes in

the scope of consolidated financial statements for the current period.(II) BASIS OF PREPARATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Basis of preparation of financial statements

The Group has adopted the Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises ("ASBE") issued by the

Ministry of Finance ("MoF"). In addition the Group has disclosed relevant financial information in

accordance with Compilation Rules for Information Disclosure by Companies Offering Securities

to the Public No. 15 - General Provisions on Financial Reports (2014 Revision).Going concern

As at 30 June 2023 the Group has total current liabilities in excess of total current assets of RMB

1400548100.60. As at 30 June 2023 the Group has available and unused lines of credit and bonds

amounting to RMB 67024496484.81 which is greater than the balance of the net current liabilities.The Group can obtain financial support from the available lines of credit and bonds when needed.Therefore the financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis.(III) STATEMENT OF COMPLIANCE WITH THE ASBE

The financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with ASBE and present

truly and completely the consolidated and Company's financial position as of 30 June 2023 and

the consolidated and Company's results of operations shareholders' equity and cash flows for the

period from 1 January to 30 June 2023.- 13 -CHINA MERCHANTS PORT GROUP CO. LTD.NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE PERIOD FROM 1 JANUARY TO 30 JUNE 2023

(Unless otherwise specified the monetary unit shall be RMB.)

(IV) SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES

1. Accounting year

The Group has adopted the calendar year as its accounting year i.e. from 1 January to 31 December.

2. Operating cycle

An operating cycle refers to the period since when an enterprise purchases assets for processing

purpose till the realization of those assets in cash or cash equivalents. The Group is principally

engaged in the rendering of port services bonded logistics services and other services such as

property development and investment with one year being an operating cycle.

3. Functional currency

Renminbi ("RMB") is the currency of the primary economic environment in which the Company

and its domestic subsidiaries operate. Therefore the Company and its domestic subsidiaries choose

RMB as their functional currency. The Company's overseas subsidiaries choose their functional

currency on the basis of 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 certain financial instruments

which are measured at fair value the Group adopts the historical cost as the principle of

measurement of the financial statements. When the Group was restructured into a stock company

fixed assets and intangible assets initially contributed by state-owned shareholders were recognized

based on valuation amounts confirmed by the state-owned assets administration department. Where

assets are impaired provisions for asset impairment are made in accordance with 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 amount 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.- 14 -CHINA MERCHANTS PORT GROUP CO. LTD.NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE PERIOD FROM 1 JANUARY TO 30 JUNE 2023

(Unless otherwise specified the monetary unit shall be RMB.)

(IV) SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES - continued

4. Basis of accounting and principle of measurement - continued

For financial assets of which the transaction price is the fair value at initial recognition and of

which the subsequent fair value measurement uses a valuation technique involving unobservable

inputs the valuation technique should be calibrated so that the initial recognition result determined

using the valuation technique equals the transaction price.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

measurements 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.

5. Business combinations

Business combinations are classified into business combinations involving enterprises under

common control and business combinations not involving enterprises under common control.

5.1 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 shall be measured at their respective carrying amounts as recorded

by the combining entities at the date of the combination. The difference between the carrying

amount of the net assets obtained and the carrying amount of the consideration paid for the

combination 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 retained earnings.Costs that are directly attributable to the combination are charged to profit or loss for the period in

which they are incurred.

5.2 Business combinations not involving enterprises under common control and goodwill

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.- 15 -CHINA MERCHANTS PORT GROUP CO. LTD.NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE PERIOD FROM 1 JANUARY TO 30 JUNE 2023

(Unless otherwise specified the monetary unit shall be RMB.)

(IV) SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES - continued

5. Business combinations - continued

5.2 Business combinations not involving enterprises under common control and goodwill - continued

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. Where a business combination not involving enterprises under common

control is achieved in stages that involve multiple transactions the cost of combination is the sum

of the consideration paid at the acquisition date and the fair value at the acquisition date of the

acquirer's previously held interest in the acquiree. Intermediary expenses (fees in respect of auditing

legal services valuation and consultancy services etc.) and other administrative expenses

attributable to the business combination are recognized in profit or loss for the period 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.When a business combination contract provides for the acquirer's recovery of consideration

previously paid contingent on one or multiple future event(s) the Group recognizes the contingent

consideration provided in the contract as an asset as part of the consideration transferred in the

business combination and includes it in the cost of business combination at the fair value at the

acquisition date. Within 12 months after the acquisition where the contingent consideration needs

to be adjusted as new or further evidences are obtained in respect of the circumstances existed at

the acquisition date the adjustment shall be recognized and the amount originally recognized in

goodwill or non-operating income shall be adjusted. A change in or adjustment to the contingent

consideration under other circumstances shall be accounted for in accordance with Accounting

Standards for Business Enterprise No. 22 - Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement

(the "ASBE No. 22") and Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises No. 13 - Contingencies.Any changes or adjustments are included in profit or loss for the current period.Where the cost of combination exceeds the acquirer's interest in the fair value of the acquiree's

identifiable net assets 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.- 16 -CHINA MERCHANTS PORT GROUP CO. LTD.NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unless otherwise specified the monetary unit shall be RMB.)

(IV) SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES - continued

5. Business combinations - continued

5.2 Business combinations not involving enterprises under common control and goodwill - continued

If either the fair values of identifiable assets liabilities and contingent liabilities acquired in a

combination or the cost of business combination can be determined only provisionally by the end

of the period in which the business combination is effected the acquirer recognizes and measures

the combination using those provisional values. Any adjustments to those provisional values within

12 months after the acquisition date are treated as if they had been recognized and measured at the

acquisition date.Goodwill arising on a business combination is measured at cost less accumulated impairment losses

and is presented separately in the consolidated financial statements.For the purpose of impairment testing goodwill is considered together with the related assets group

or portfolio of assets groups i.e. goodwill is reasonably allocated to the related assets group or

portfolio of assets groups expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination. An impairment

loss is recognized if the recoverable amount of the assets group or portfolio of assets groups (to

which the goodwill is allocated) is less than its carrying amount. The impairment loss is firstly

allocated to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to such assets group or portfolio

of assets groups and then reduce the carrying amount of other assets pro-rata on the basis of the

carrying amount of each asset (other than goodwill) in the assets group or portfolio of assets groups.Recoverable amount is the higher of the fair value of an asset net of cost of disposal and the present

value of the asset's estimated future cash flows.The impairment loss of goodwill is recognized in profit or loss for the period when it is incurred

and will not be reversed in subsequent periods.

6. Consolidated financial statements

The scope of consolidation in the 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.- 17 -CHINA MERCHANTS PORT GROUP CO. LTD.NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE PERIOD FROM 1 JANUARY TO 30 JUNE 2023

(Unless otherwise specified the monetary unit shall be RMB.)

(IV) SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES - continued

6. Consolidated financial statements - continued

For subsidiaries acquired through a business combination involving enterprises not under common

control 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 or the combined party

under merger by absorption are included in the Group's scope of consolidation 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 beginning of the

earliest reporting period or 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.The effect of intra-group transactions on the consolidated financial statements is eliminated on

consolidation.The portion of subsidiaries' equity that is not attributable to the Company is treated as minority

interests and presented as "minority 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 minority interests is presented as "profit or loss attributable to minority 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 minority interests is presented as "total

comprehensive income attributable to minority shareholders" in the consolidated income statement

under the line item of total comprehensive income.When the minority shareholders' share of loss of a subsidiary exceeds the minority shareholders'

share of the opening balance of owners' equity of the subsidiary the excess amount is still allocated

against minority interests.Acquisition of minority interests or partial disposal of equity investments in a subsidiary that do 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 minority interests are adjusted to reflect the changes in their

relative interests in the subsidiary. The difference between the amount by which the minority

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 the excess is adjusted against

retained earnings.- 18 -CHINA MERCHANTS PORT GROUP CO. LTD.NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE PERIOD FROM 1 JANUARY TO 30 JUNE 2023

(Unless otherwise specified the monetary unit shall be RMB.)

(IV) SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES - continued

6. Consolidated financial statements - continued

Where equity interests in an acquiree are acquired in stages through multiple transactions

ultimately constituting a business combination not involving enterprises under common control the

accounting treatment shall be made taking into account whether these transactions are a "package

deal". If yes these transactions are accounted for as a single transaction where control is obtained.If no they are accounted for as transactions where control is obtained at the acquisition date.Specifically the equity interests held in the acquiree prior to the acquisition date are remeasured at

the fair value at the acquisition date and the difference between the fair value and carrying amount

is recognized in profit or loss for the period; where the equity interests held in the acquiree prior to

the acquisition date involve changes in other comprehensive income and other owners' equity under

the equity method the changes are transferred to income for the period to which the acquisition

date is attributable.Where the control over a subsidiary is lost due to partial disposal of equity investments or other

reasons any retained interest is remeasured at its fair value at the date when control is lost. The

difference between (i) the aggregate of the consideration received on disposal and the fair value of

any retained interest and (ii) the share of the former subsidiary's net assets cumulatively calculated

from the acquisition date according to the original proportion of ownership interests is recognized

as investment income for the period in which control is lost and the goodwill is offset accordingly.Other comprehensive income associated with equity investments in the former subsidiary is

reclassified to investment income for the period in which control is lost.Where the disposal of equity investments in a subsidiary until the control is lost is achieved in stages

through multiple transactions the multiple transactions are usually considered as a package deal if

the terms conditions and economic effects of the transactions satisfy one or several of the following

circumstances: (i) they are entered into at the same time or in contemplation of one another; (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 control is lost are a package deal these transactions are accounted for as a single

transaction of disposal of a subsidiary resulting in loss of control. Before losing control the

difference between each disposal consideration and the corresponding share of net assets of the

subsidiary continuously calculated from acquisition date is recognized as other comprehensive

income. When control is lost the cumulated other comprehensive income is transferred to profit or

loss for the period in which control is lost. If the transactions of disposal of equity investments in a

subsidiary until control is lost are not a package deal these transactions are accounted for as separate

transactions.

7. Joint arrangements

Joint arrangement refers to the arrangement jointly controlled by two or more participating parties.The Group's joint arrangements have the following characteristics: (1) all the participating parties

are bound by the arrangement; (2) the arrangement is jointly controlled by two or more participating

parties. Any participating party cannot control the arrangement separately and any participating

party having joint control of the arrangement can stop other participating parties or the group of

participating parties from the separate control over the arrangement.- 19 -CHINA MERCHANTS PORT GROUP CO. LTD.NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(IV) SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES - continued

7. Joint arrangements - continued

Joint control is the contractually agreed sharing of control of an arrangement and exists only when

the decisions on the relevant activities require the unanimous consent of the parties sharing control.Joint arrangements comprise of joint operations and joint ventures. A joint operation is a joint

arrangement whereby the parties sharing control have rights to the assets and assume liabilities

relating to the arrangement. A joint venture is a joint arrangement whereby the parties sharing

control have rights to only the net assets of the arrangement.

8. 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.

9. Transactions denominated in foreign currencies and translation of financial

statements denominated in foreign currencies

9.1 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 gross carrying amounts (other than the amortized

cost) of monetary items classified as 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 a foreign

currency monetary item constituting a net investment in a foreign operation exchange differences

arising from changes in exchange rates are recognized as "translation differences of financial

statements denominated in foreign currencies" in other comprehensive income and in profit and

loss for the period upon disposal of the foreign operation.- 20 -CHINA MERCHANTS PORT GROUP CO. LTD.NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

9.1 Transactions denominated in foreign currencies - continued

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 and the amounts in

functional currency remain unchanged. Foreign currency non-monetary items measured at fair

value are re-translated at the spot exchange rates on the date 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 of exchange rate) and is recognized in profit

and loss or as other comprehensive income.

9.2 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: all assets

and liabilities in the balance sheet are translated at the spot exchange rates prevailing at the balance

sheet date; shareholders' equity items except for unappropriated profit are translated at the spot

exchange rates at the dates on which such items arise; 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; the opening balance of unappropriated

profit is the translated closing balance of the previous year's unappropriated profit; the closing

balance of unappropriated profit is calculated and presented on the basis of each translated profit

distribution item. 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 cash flows of an overseas subsidiary

are translated at average exchange rates 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 prior year comparative figures are presented in the amounts translated based on the financial

statements for the prior year.On disposal of the Group's entire interest in a foreign operation or upon a loss of control over a

foreign operation due to partial disposal of equity investments in it or other reasons the Group

transfers the accumulated exchange differences arising on 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 for the period in which the disposal occurs.- 21 -CHINA MERCHANTS PORT GROUP CO. LTD.NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

9.2 Translation of financial statements denominated in foreign currencies - continued

In case of partial disposal of equity investments or any other reason which results in lower

percentage of equity interests in a foreign operation but does not result in losing control over the

foreign operation the translation differences of financial statements denominated in foreign

currencies related to this disposed part are re-attributed to minority interests and are not recognized

in profit and loss. For partial disposals of equity interests in foreign operations which are associates

or joint ventures the proportionate share of the accumulated translation differences of financial

statements denominated in foreign currencies of foreign operations are reclassified to profit or loss.

10. Financial instruments

The Group recognizes a financial asset or a financial liability when it becomes a party to contractual

provisions of a financial instrument.All regular way purchases or sales of financial assets are recognized and derecognized on a trade

date basis.Financial assets and financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value. For financial assets and

financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss for the period relevant transaction costs are

directly recognized in profit or loss; upon initial recognition of contract assets accounts receivable

and notes 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 ("Revenue Standards") the Group

adopts the transaction price as defined in the Revenue Standards for initial measurement.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 gross carrying amount 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 by considering all the contractual terms of the financial asset

or financial liability (such as repayment in advance extension call option or other similar options)

(without considering the expected credit losses).- 22 -CHINA MERCHANTS PORT GROUP CO. LTD.NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(IV) SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES - continued

10. Financial instruments - continued

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).

10.1 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 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 to hold financial assets in order to collect

contractual cash flows the Group classifies the financial asset as financial assets at amortized cost.Such types of financial assets mainly include cash and bank balances notes receivable accounts

receivable other receivables debt investments and long-term receivables.If 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 the financial asset as financial assets at fair value

through other comprehensive income ("FVTOCI"). Accounts receivable and notes receivable

classified as FVTOCI at acquisition are presented as receivables 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.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

It is a derivative that is not a financial guarantee contract or designated and effective as a

hedging instrument.- 23 -CHINA MERCHANTS PORT GROUP CO. LTD.NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

10.1 Classification recognition and measurement of financial assets - continued

Financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss ("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 as at

FVTPL if doing so eliminates or significantly reduces accounting mismatch.Financial assets at FVTPL assets other than derivative financial assets are presented as "held-for-

trading financial assets". 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.

10.1.1 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.For financial assets measured at amortized cost the Group recognizes interest income using the

effective interest method. The Group calculates and recognizes interest income by applying the

effective interest rate to the gross carrying amount of the financial assets 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 assets and the credit-

adjusted effective interest rate.

10.1.2 Financial assets at FVTOCI

Changes in fair value of financial assets at FVTOCI are included in other comprehensive income

except that related impairment losses or gains interest income calculated using the effective interest

method and exchange gains or losses are recognized in profit or loss for the current period. Amounts

charged to profit or loss for each period equal to the amount charged to profit or loss as if it has

always been measured at amortized cost. Upon derecognition of the financial asset the cumulative

gains or losses previously recognized in other comprehensive income shall be transferred out from

other comprehensive income and recognized in profit or loss.- 24 -CHINA MERCHANTS PORT GROUP CO. LTD.NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

10.1.2 Financial assets at FVTOCI - continued

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 are transferred out and included in retained

earnings upon derecognition of the financial assets. 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's right to collect dividends has been established; (2) it is probable that

the associated economic benefits will flow to the Group; and (3) the amount of dividends can be

measured reliably.

10.1.3 Financial assets at FVTPL

Financial assets at FVTPL are subsequently measured at fair value. Gains or losses arising from

changes in fair values and dividends and interests related to the financial assets are recognized in

profit or loss.

10.2 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 guarantee

contracts that are neither financial liabilities at FVTPL nor financial liabilities arising from transfer

of financial assets that does not satisfy the derecognition criteria or continuing involvement in the

transferred financial assets the Group accounts for the impairment and recognizes the provision for

losses on the basis of expected credit loss ("ECL").For all contract assets accounts receivable and notes 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 the lifetime ECL.For other financial instruments other than purchased or originated credit-impaired financial assets

the Group assesses changes in credit risks of the relevant financial asset since initial recognition 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 loss provision 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 credit loss provision 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.- 25 -CHINA MERCHANTS PORT GROUP CO. LTD.NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

10.2 Impairment of financial instruments - continued

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.

10.2.1 Significant increase in 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 that the Group becomes a party to the irrevocable commitment is

considered as the date of initial recognition in applying the provisions on impairment of financial

instruments.In particular the following information is taken into account when assessing whether credit risk has

increased significantly:

(1) Significant changes in internal price indicators of credit risk as a result of a change 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).

(3) Significant changes in external market indicators of credit risk for the same financial

instrument or similar financial instruments with the same expected life. These indicators

include the credit spread the credit swap prices for the borrower the length of time or the

extent to which the fair value of a financial asset has been less than its amortized cost and

other market information related to the borrower such as changes in the price of a borrower's

debt and equity instruments.

(4) An actual or expected significant change in the financial instrument's external credit rating.

(5) An actual or expected internal credit rating downgrade for the borrower.

(6) Adverse changes in business financial or economic conditions that are expected to cause a

significant change 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 increases in credit risk on other financial instruments of the same debtor.

(9) Significant adverse change in the regulatory economic or technological environment of the

debtor.- 26 -CHINA MERCHANTS PORT GROUP CO. LTD.NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

10.2.1 Significant increase in credit risk - continued

(10) Significant changes in the value of the collateral supporting the obligation or in the quality

of third-party guarantees or credit enhancements 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 changes 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.

(13) Significant changes in the expected performance and behaviour of the debtor.

(14) Changes in the Group's credit management approach in relation to the 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.

10.2.2 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 is probable that the debtor will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganizations.

(5) The disappearance of an active market for that 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

facts of credit loss incurred.- 27 -CHINA MERCHANTS PORT GROUP CO. LTD.NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

10.2.2 Credit-impaired financial assets - continued

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).

10.2.3 Determination of expected credit loss

Lease receivables are assessed for ECL individually by the Group. In addition the Group uses

impairment matrix to calculate ECL for notes receivable accounts receivable other receivables

contract assets debt investments and other debt investments on a portfolio basis. The Group

classifies financial instruments into different groups based on common risk characteristics.Common credit risk characteristics include credit risk rating the date of initial recognition

remaining contractual period industry of debtor and geographical location of the debtor.The Group determines the ECL of relevant financial instruments using the following methods:

For a financial asset 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 a lease receivable 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 undrawn loan commitments (refer to Note (IV) 10.4.1.3 for details of accounting policies)

the ECL is the present value of the difference between the contractual cash flows that are due

to the Group if the holder of the loan commitments draws down the loan and the cash flows

that the Group expects to receive if the loan is drawn down. The Group's estimation of the

ECL for loan commitments is consistent with its expectation of the loan commitments drawn

down.For a financial guarantee contract (refer to Note (IV) 10.4.1.3 for details of accounting

policies) the expected loss is the present value of the expected payments to reimburse the

holder for a credit loss that it incurs less any amounts that the Group expects to receive from

the holder the debtor or any other party.For a financial asset that has become credit-impaired at the balance sheet date but not a

purchased or originated credit-impaired financial asset the credit loss is the difference

between the asset's gross carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows

discounted at the financial asset's original effective interest rate.- 28 -CHINA MERCHANTS PORT GROUP CO. LTD.NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

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.

10.2.4 Write-down 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 gross carrying

amount of the financial asset which constitutes derecognition of relevant financial assets.

10.3 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 financial

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.- 29 -CHINA MERCHANTS PORT GROUP CO. LTD.NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For a 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.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 values of those parts on transfer date. The

difference between (1) 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 and (2) the carrying amount allocated to the part derecognized on

derecognition date is recognized in profit or loss. If the transferred asset is a non-trading equity

instrument investment designated as at FVTOCI the cumulative gain or loss that has been

previously recognized in other comprehensive income is transferred out and included in retained

earnings.If the transfer of a financial asset in its entirety 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.

10.4 Classification of financial liabilities and equity instruments

Financial instruments issued by the Group are classified into financial liabilities or equity

instruments on the basis of the substance of the contractual arrangements and the economic nature

not only its legal form together with the definition of financial liabilities and equity instruments on

initial recognition.

10.4.1 Classification recognition and measurement of financial liabilities

On initial recognition financial liabilities are classified into financial liabilities at FVTPL and other

financial liabilities.

10.4.1.1 Financial liabilities at FVTPL

Financial liabilities at FVTPL consist of held-for-trading financial liabilities (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.- 30 -CHINA MERCHANTS PORT GROUP CO. LTD.NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

10.4.1 Classification recognition and measurement of financial liabilities - continued

10.4.1.1 Financial liabilities at FVTPL - continued

A financial liability is classified as held for trading if one of the following conditions is satisfied:

It has been assumed 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.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; or (iii) the qualified hybrid contract containing

embedded derivatives.Held-for-trading financial liabilities are subsequently measured at fair value. Any gains or losses

arising from changes in the fair value and any dividend 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 change in fair

value due to the change in the credit risk of such financial liability which was recognized in other

comprehensive income is transferred to retained earnings. Any dividend or interest expense on the

financial liability 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 and includes the changes in the financial liabilities

in profit or loss for the period.- 31 -CHINA MERCHANTS PORT GROUP CO. LTD.NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

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.

10.4.1.3 Financial guarantee contracts and loan commitments

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 and loan commitments to provide a loan at a below-market interest

rate which are not designated at fair value through profit or loss are measured at the higher of: (1)

amount of loss provision; and (2) the amount initially recognized less cumulative amortization

amount determined based on the revenue standards.

10.4.2 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.- 32 -CHINA MERCHANTS PORT GROUP CO. LTD.NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

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.

10.4.3 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 of equity. Changes in fair value of equity

instruments is not recognized by the Group. Transaction costs related to equity transactions are

deducted from equity.The Group recognizes the distribution to holders of the equity instruments as distribution of profits

dividends paid do not affect total amount of shareholders' equity.

10.5 Derivatives and embedded derivatives

Derivatives include forward exchange contracts currency swaps interest rate swaps and foreign

exchange options. Derivatives are initially measured at fair value at the date when the derivative

contracts are entered into and are subsequently remeasured at fair value.For a hybrid contract comprising of embedded derivatives and a host contract if the host contract

is a financial asset the Group does not separate the embedded derivatives from the hybrid contract

but takes the hybrid contract as a whole in applying relevant accounting standards regarding the

classification of financial assets.If the host contract of the hybrid contract is not a financial asset the embedded derivatives are

separated from the hybrid contract and treated as separate derivatives by the Group when they meet

all 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 contract is not measured at fair value through profit or loss.

For the embedded derivative separated from the hybrid contract the Group accounts for the host

contract in the hybrid contract with applicable accounting standards. If the fair value of the

embedded derivatives 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 contract and the fair value of the host contract. After

adopting the above method if the fair value of the embedded derivative still cannot be measured on

a stand-alone basis at acquisition date or subsequent balance sheet dates the hybrid contract as a

whole is designated as financial instruments at FVTPL.

10.6 Offsetting financial assets and financial liabilities

Where the Group has a legal right that is currently enforceable to offset 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.

10.7 Compound instrument

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.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 the

effective interest method; the value of the conversion option classified as equity instrument remain

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 value. 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 the effective interest method.- 34 -CHINA MERCHANTS PORT GROUP CO. LTD.NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

10.8 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 assets FVTPL 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 profit or loss for the period.Where a financial asset at amortized cost is reclassified as a financial asset at FVTOCI by the Group

such financial asset is measured at the fair value at the date of reclassification and the difference

between the original 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.Where a financial asset at FVTOCI is reclassified as a financial asset at FVTPL by the Group such

financial asset continues to be measured at fair value. At the same time the accumulated gains or

losses previously recognized in other comprehensive income are transferred to profit or loss for the

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 recognized as the new gross carrying amount.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.- 35 -CHINA MERCHANTS PORT GROUP CO. LTD.NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Internal Average expected

Basis for determining portfolio

credit rating loss rate (%)

Customers can make repayments within credit term and have good credit

A records based on historical experience. The probability of default on 0.00-0.10

payment of due amounts is extremely low in the foreseeable future.The customer may have overdue payment based on historical experience

B 0.10-0.30

12. Receivables financing

Notes receivable classified as at FVTOCI are presented as receivables financing if they are due

within one year (including one year) from the date of acquisition; or presented as other debt

investments if they are due after one year from the date of acquisition. For related accounting

policies refer to Note (IV) 10.

13. Inventories

13.1 Categories of inventories

Inventories include raw materials goods on hand and others. Inventories are initially measured at

cost. Cost of inventories comprises all costs of purchase costs of conversion and other expenditures

incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition.

13.2 Valuation methods of inventories upon delivery

The actual cost of inventories upon delivery is calculated using the weighted average method and

first-in-first-out method.

13.3 Basis for determining net realizable value of inventories and provision methods 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

13.3 Basis for determining net realizable value of inventories and provision methods for decline

in value of inventories - continued

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 purposes of inventories being held and effect of post balance sheet events.Provision for decline in value of other 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.

13.4 Inventory count system

The perpetual inventory system is adopted as inventory count system.

13.5 Amortization methods for low cost and short-lived consumable items and packaging

14. Contract assets

14.1 Recognition and criteria of contract assets

A contract asset represents the Group's right to consideration in exchange for goods or services that

the Group has transferred to a customer and such right depends on factors other than the passage

of time. The Group's unconditional right (i.e. depending on the passage of time only) to receive

consideration from the customer is separately presented as receivables.

15. Assets held for sale

Non-current assets and disposal groups are classified as held-for-sale category when the Group

recovers the carrying amount through a sale (including an exchange of nonmonetary assets that has

commercial substance) rather than continuing use.Non-current assets or disposal groups classified as held-for-sale are required to satisfy the following

conditions: (1) the asset or disposal group is available for immediate sale in its present condition

according to the terms that are usual and customary for sales of such asset or disposal group; (2)

the sale is highly probable i.e. the Group has made a resolution about selling plan and obtained a

confirmed purchase commitment and the sale is expected to be completed within one year.When there is loss of control over a subsidiary due to disposal of investments in the subsidiary and

the proposed disposal of investments in the subsidiary satisfies classification criteria of held-for-

sale category the investments in subsidiaries are classified as held-for-sale category as a whole in

the Company's separate financial statements and all assets and liabilities of subsidiaries are

classified as held-for-sale category in the consolidated financial statements regardless of whether

that part of the equity investments are remained after the sale.The Group measures the non-current assets or disposal groups classified as held-for-sale at the

lower of their carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell. Where the carrying amount is higher

than the fair value net of costs to sell the carrying amount should be reduced to the fair value net

of costs to sell and such reduction is recognized in impairment loss of assets and included in profit

or loss for the period. Meanwhile provision for impairment of held-for-sale assets is made. When

there is an increase in the fair value of non-current assets held-for-sale net of costs to sell at the

balance sheet date the original reduction should be reversed in impairment loss of assets recognized

after the classification of held-for-sale category and the reversal amount is included in profit or loss

for the period. The impairment losses recognized before such assets are classified as held-for-sale

category shall not be reversed.Non-current assets classified as held-for-sale or non-current assets in disposal groups are not

depreciated or amortized and interest and other costs of liabilities of disposal groups classified as

held-for-sale continue to be recognized.All or part of equity investments in associates or joint ventures are classified as held-for-sale assets.For the part that is classified as held-for-sale it is no longer accounted for using the equity method

since the date of the classification.If an asset or a disposal group classified as held for sale subsequently no longer satisfy the criteria

for recognition as held-for-sale the Group shall cease to classify the asset or disposal group as held

for sale. It shall be measured at the lower of (1) the carrying amount of the asset or disposal group

before being classified as held for sale as adjusted for any depreciation amortization or impairment

that would have been recognized had the asset or disposal group not been classified as held for sale;

and (2) the recoverable amount at the date of the decision not to sell.If equity investments in associates or joint ventures classified as held for sale no longer satisfy the

criteria of classification as held-for-sale such investments are accounted for retrospectively using

the equity method from the date when they are classified as held for sale. The financial statements

for the period of classification as held-for-sale are adjusted accordingly.- 38 -CHINA MERCHANTS PORT GROUP CO. LTD.NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

16. Long-term equity investments

16.1 Basis for determining joint control and significant influence over investee

Control is archived when the Group has the power over the investee and has rights to variable

returns from its involvement with the investee; and has the ability to use its power to affect its

returns. Joint control is the contractually agreed sharing of control over an arrangement and exists

only when the decisions on relevant activities of the arrangement require unanimous consent of

participants sharing control. Significant influence is the power to participate in the financial and

operating policy decisions of the investee but is not control or joint control over those policies.When determining whether an investing enterprise is able to exercise control or significant

influence over an investee the effect of potential voting rights of the investee (for example warrants

and convertible debts) held by the investing enterprises or other parties that are currently exercisable

or convertible shall be considered.

16.2 Determination of initial investment cost

For a long-term equity investment acquired through a business combination involving enterprises

under common control the 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 the initial

investment cost and the carrying amount of cash paid non-cash assets transferred and liabilities

assumed shall be adjusted to capital reserve. If the balance of capital reserve is not sufficient to

absorb the difference any excess is adjusted to retained earnings. 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 the ultimate controlling party at the date of combination. The

aggregate face value of the shares issued shall be 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 any excess

is adjusted to retained earnings. Where equity interests in an acquiree are acquired in stages through

multiple transactions ultimately constituting a business combination involving enterprises under

common control the accounting treatment shall be made taking into account whether these

transactions are a "package deal". If yes these transactions are accounted for as a single transaction

where control is obtained. If no the initial investment cost of the long-term equity investment is the

share of carrying amount of owners' equity of the acquiree in the ultimate controlling party's

consolidated financial statements at the date of combination. The difference between the initial

investment cost and the sum of carrying amount of equity investments previously held in the

acquiree and the new investment cost is adjusted to capital reserve. If the balance of capital reserve

is not sufficient to absorb the difference any excess is adjusted to retained earnings. Other

comprehensive income recognized for the previously held equity investments under the equity

method or non-trading equity instrument investments designated as at FVTOCI is not subject to

accounting treatment temporarily.- 39 -CHINA MERCHANTS PORT GROUP CO. LTD.NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

16.2 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 absorbing party's or acquirer's intermediary expenses (fees in respect of auditing legal services

valuation and consultancy services etc.) and other administrative expenses attributable to the

business combination are recognized in profit or loss for the period 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

the ASBE No. 22 and the additional investment cost.

16.3 Subsequent measurement and recognition of profit or loss

16.3.1 Long-term equity investments accounted for using the cost method

Long-term equity investments in subsidiaries are accounted for using the cost method in the

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.Additional or recovered investment is adjusted to the cost of long-term equity investment.Investment income is recognized in the period in accordance with the attributable share of cash

dividends or profit distributions declared by the investee.

16.3.2 Long-term equity investments accounted for using the equity method

Except for investments in associates and joint ventures completely or partly classified as held-for-

sale 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. A joint venture is a joint

arrangement whereby the Group has rights to only the net assets of the arrangement.- 40 -CHINA MERCHANTS PORT GROUP CO. LTD.NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

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.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 respectively for the period. Meanwhile the carrying amount of the long-

term equity investment is adjusted. The carrying amount of the long-term equity investment shall

be reduced by the attributable portion of profit distributions or cash dividends declared by the

investee. Other changes in owners' equity of the investee other than net profit or loss and other

comprehensive income 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 appropriate 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 the financial

statements of the investee 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 which do not constitute a business are eliminated based on the proportion

attributable to the Group and then investment gains or losses are recognized on such basis. 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.The Group recognize its share of net losses of the investee to the extent that the carrying amount of

the long-term equity investment together with any long-term interests that in substance form part

of its net investment in the investee are reduced to zero. Except that 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.- 41 -CHINA MERCHANTS PORT GROUP CO. LTD.NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

16.4 Disposal of long-term equity investments

On disposal of a long-term equity investment the difference between the carrying amount and

proceeds actually received 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 under

the equity method is accounted for on the same basis as if the investee had directly disposed of

related assets or liabilities and is transferred to profit or loss for the period on a pro rata basis;

owners' equity recognized due to changes in other 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 under 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 if the investee had directly disposed of

related assets or liabilities and is transferred to profit or loss for the period on a pro rata basis;

changes in other owners' equity (other than net profit or loss other comprehensive income and profit

distribution) in the investee's net assets recognized under the equity method is transferred to profit

or loss for the period on a pro rata basis.Where the Group loses control over the investee due to partial disposal of equity investments if the

remaining equity after disposal enables the Group to exercise joint control or significant influence

over the investee the remaining equity is accounted for using the equity method and adjusted as if

they are accounted for using the equity method since the acquisition date in preparing separate

financial statements; if the remaining equity after disposal does not enable the Group to exercise

joint control or significant influence over the investee it is accounted for according to relevant

provisions of the standards on recognition and measurement of financial instruments and the

difference between the fair value and carrying amount at date of losing control is recognized in

profit or loss for the period. Before the Group obtains control over the investee other

comprehensive income recognized under the equity method or the standards on recognition and

measurement of financial instruments is accounted for on the same basis as if the investee had

directly disposed of related assets or liabilities when the control over the investee is lost; other

changes in owners' equity (other than net profit or loss other comprehensive income and profit

distribution) in the investee's net assets recognized under the equity method is transferred to profit

or loss for the period when the control over the investee is lost. Where the remaining equity after

disposal is accounted for using the equity method other comprehensive income and other owners'

equity are transferred on a pro rata basis. Where the remaining equity after disposal is accounted

for in accordance with the standards on recognition and measurement of financial instruments other

comprehensive income and other owners' equity are all transferred.- 42 -CHINA MERCHANTS PORT GROUP CO. LTD.NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Where the Group loses joint control or significant influence over the investee after partial disposal

of equity investments the remaining equity after disposal is accounted for in accordance with the

standards on 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 if the investee had directly disposed of related assets

or liabilities when the equity method is not adopted. Owners' equity recognized due to 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.Where the Group disposes of its equity investments in subsidiaries in stages through multiple

transactions until it loses control over the subsidiaries if these transactions are a "package deal"

they are accounted for as a single transaction of disposal of equity investments in subsidiaries. The

difference between each disposal consideration and the corresponding carrying amount of the long-

term equity investments disposed before the control is lost is first recognized as other

comprehensive income and then fully transferred to profit or loss for the period when the control

is lost.

17. Investment properties

Investment property is 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 an 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 adopts a

depreciation or amortization policy for the investment property which is consistent with that for

buildings or land use rights.An investment property is derecognized upon disposal or when it is permanently withdrawn from

use and no future economic benefits are expected from the disposal.When an investment property is sold transferred retired or damaged the Group recognizes the

amount of any proceeds on disposal net of the carrying amount and related taxes in profit or loss

for the period.- 43 -CHINA MERCHANTS PORT GROUP CO. LTD.NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

18. 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. When the Group is 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 since the month

subsequent to the one in which it is ready for intended use. The useful life estimated net residual

value rate and annual depreciation rate of each category of fixed assets are as follows:

Estimated Annual

Category Useful life

residual value rate (%) depreciation rate (%)

Port and terminal facilities 5-50 years 5.00 1.90-19.00

Buildings 5-50 years 5.00 1.90-19.00

Machinery and equipment furniture

3-20 years 5.00 4.75-31.67

and fixture and other equipment

Motor vehicles and cargo ships 5-25 years 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 an accounting estimate.

19. 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 transferred to a fixed asset when it is ready for intended use.- 44 -CHINA MERCHANTS PORT GROUP CO. LTD.NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

20. 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.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.

21. Intangible assets

21.1 Intangible assets

Intangible assets include land use rights terminal operating rights and others.An intangible asset is measured initially at cost. When the Group was 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 port operation rights when an intangible asset with a finite useful life is available for

use its original cost is amortized over its estimated useful life. The terminal operating rights under

output method are amortized over the operating periods according to the ratio of the estimated

minimum guaranteed throughput to the estimated minimum guaranteed total throughput. When the

estimated minimum guaranteed throughput cannot be measured reliably the straight-line method

will be used for amortization over the operating periods. An intangible asset with indefinite useful

life is not amortized.- 45 -CHINA MERCHANTS PORT GROUP CO. LTD.NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For an intangible asset with a finite useful life the Group reviews the useful life and amortization

method at the end of the year and makes adjustments when necessary.

21.2 Research and development expenditure

Expenditure during the research phase is recognized as an expense in 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 an 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 period. The costs of intangible assets generated

by the internal research only include the total expenditure incurred for the period from the time

point when the capitalization criteria are satisfied to date when intangible assets are ready for

intended use. For the identical intangible asset the expenditures expensed and included in profit or

loss before they qualify for capitalization during the development process are not adjusted.- 46 -CHINA MERCHANTS PORT GROUP CO. LTD.NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

22. Impairment of non-financial assets other than goodwill

The Group assesses at the balance sheet date whether there is any indication that the long-term

equity investments investment properties measured using the cost method fixed assets

construction in progress right-of-use assets intangible assets with a finite useful life and assets

related to contract costs may be impaired. 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 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.If the recoverable amount of an asset or an asset group is less than its carrying amount the deficit

is accounted for as an impairment loss and is recognized in profit or loss.Once the impairment loss of above-mentioned asset is recognized it shall not be reversed in any

subsequent period.

23. Long-term prepaid expenses

Long-term prepaid expenses represent expenses incurred that should be borne and amortized over

the current and subsequent periods (together of more than one year). Long-term prepaid expenses

are amortized using the straight-line method over the expected periods in which benefits are derived.

24. Contract liabilities

A contract liability represents the Group's obligation to transfer goods or services to a customer for

consideration received or receivable from the customer. The contract assets and contract liabilities

under the same contract are presented on a net basis.

25. Employee benefits

Employee benefits are all forms of considerations given by the Group in exchange for services

rendered by employees or for the termination of employment. Employee benefits include short-term

25.1 Short-term employee benefits

Short-term benefits refer to the employee benefits that the Group is required to make full payments

within the 12 months after the end of the annual reporting period in which the employees have

rendered relevant services 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 the work injury

insurance and the maternity insurance housing funds union running costs and employee education

costs 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

the profit or loss for the period or included in the costs of related assets 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 related assets based on the actually occurred

amounts when it actually occurred. Non-monetary staff welfare expenses are measured at fair value.For the Group's payments of social security contributions for employees such as premiums or

contributions on medical insurance work injury insurance and maternity insurance and payments

of housing funds as well as union running costs and employee education costs provided in

accordance with relevant requirements the amount of employee benefits are calculated according

to prescribed bases and percentages and recognized as liabilities with a corresponding charge to

the profit or loss for the period or included in the costs of related assets in the accounting period in

which employees have rendered services.

25.2 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 enterprises for the

services rendered by the employees exclusive of 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 agreements the Group entered

into with the employees on the post-employment benefits or regulations or measures established by

the Group for provisions of the post-employee benefits among which the defined contribution plan

refers 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 the employees have rendered services to the Group the amounts payable

calculated based on the defined contribution plan are recognized as liabilities and included in profit

or loss for the period or included in costs of related assets.- 48 -CHINA MERCHANTS PORT GROUP CO. LTD.NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

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);

on the net defined benefit liability or asset) are recognized in other comprehensive income.The deficit or surplus resulting from the present value of the defined benefit plan obligation less the

fair value of the defined benefit plan assets is recognized as a net defined benefit plan liability or

asset.

25.3 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. Where the Group provides termination

benefits to employees the liabilities arising from termination benefits are recognized and included

in 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 recognizes costs or expenses related to restructuring that involves the payment of

termination benefits.

25.4 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.- 49 -CHINA MERCHANTS PORT GROUP CO. LTD.NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

25.4 Other long-term employee benefits - continued

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 benefit costs arising from other long-term employee benefits are recognized as

three components: service cost net interest on the 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 cost of related assets.The Group provides internal retirement benefits to employees accepting internal retirement

arrangements. Internal retirement benefits refer to 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

rendering services to the date of normal retirement are recognized as liabilities at the present value

and included in profit or loss for the period when relevant recognition requirements of the internal

retirement benefits are met.

26. Provisions

Provisions are recognized when the Group has a present obligation related with contingencies and

it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required 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 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.Where all or some of the expenditure required to settle a provision is expected to be reimbursed by

a third party the reimbursement is recognized as a separate asset only when it is virtually certain

that reimbursement will be received and the amount of reimbursement recognized does not exceed

the carrying amount of the provision.

27. Revenue recognition

The Group's revenue is mainly from the following business types:

(1) Port services;

(2) Bonded logistics services;

(3) Other services such as property development and investment.

27. Revenue recognition - continued

The Group recognizes revenue based on the transaction price allocated to such performance

obligation when a performance obligation is satisfied i.e. when "control" of the goods or services

underlying the particular performance obligation is transferred to the customer. A performance

obligation represents the commitment that a good and service that is distinct shall be transferred by

the Group to the customer. Transaction price refers to the consideration that the Group is expected

to charge due to the transfer of goods or services to the customer but it does not include payments

received on behalf of third parties and amounts that the Group expects to return to the customer.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 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 the Group will recognize revenue at the point in time when the customer obtains

control over relative goods or services.The Group adopts the 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 refers to the Group's right to consideration in exchange for goods or services that

the Group has transferred to a customer when that right is conditioned on something other than the

passage of time. Accounting policies relating to the impairment of contract asset are specified in

Note (IV) 10. The Company's unconditional (i.e. depending on the passage of time only) right to

receive consideration from the customer is separately presented as receivables.Contract liabilities refers to the Company's obligation to transfer goods or services to a customer

for which the Company has already received consideration from the customer.Contract assets and contract liabilities under the same contract are presented at 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.- 51 -CHINA MERCHANTS PORT GROUP CO. LTD.NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(IV) SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES - continued

27. Revenue recognition - continued

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

likely 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.Where the customer pays non-cash consideration the Group recognizes the transaction price based

on the fair value of the non-cash consideration. Where the fair value of the non-cash consideration

cannot be reasonably estimated the Group recognizes the transaction price indirectly by reference

to the stand-alone price of the promised goods or services promised transferred to the customer.Where the contract includes significant financing component the Group determines the transaction

price based on assumption that the customer has paid the amount payable by cash when obtaining

the control over the goods or services. The difference between the transaction price and the contract

consideration is amortized within the contract period using effective interest method. At the

inception of the contract if the Group expects that the time interval between the customer's

obtaining control of a promised goods or service and the customer's payment for that goods or

service will not exceed one year the Group will not consider the significant financing component

in the contract.The Group assesses whether it controls each specified good or service before that good 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 receipts in advance 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.- 52 -CHINA MERCHANTS PORT GROUP CO. LTD.NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

28. Contract costs

28.1 Costs of obtaining a contract

For the incremental cost of obtaining the contract (cost that will not incur if the contract is not

obtained) that is expected to be recoverable it is recognized as an asset and 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. 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.

28.2 Costs to fulfil a contract

If the costs incurred in fulfilling a contract are not within the scope of other standards other than

the revenue standards the Group shall recognize an asset from the costs incurred to fulfil a contract

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 generate or enhance

resources of the entity 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 transfer to the customer of the goods or services to which the asset relates and

recognized in profit or loss for the period.

28.3 Losses of assets related to contract costs

In determining the impairment losses of assets related to contract costs the Group first determines

impairment losses of other assets related to contracts recognized in accordance with other ASBEs;

then for assets related to contract costs if the carrying amount of the assets is higher than the

difference between: (1) the remaining consideration that the Group expects to obtain for the transfer

of the goods or services related to the assets; and (2) the estimated costs to be incurred for the

transfer of the related goods or services any excess is provided for impairment and recognized as

impairment loss of assets.After the provision for impairment of assets related to contract costs is made if factors of

impairment in previous periods change so that the difference between the above two is higher than

the carrying amount of the assets the original provision for impairment of the assets is reversed and

recognized in profit or loss for the period provided that the carrying amount of the assets after the

reversal does not exceed the carrying amount of the assets at the date of reversal assuming no

provision for impairment is made.

29. Government grants

Government grants are transfers of monetary assets or non-monetary assets from the government

to the Group at no consideration. A government grant is recognized only when the Group can

comply with conditions attached to the grant and the Group will receive the grant.- 53 -CHINA MERCHANTS PORT GROUP CO. LTD.NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

If a government grant takes the form of a monetary asset it is measured at the amount received or

receivable. If a government grant takes 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.A government grant related to an asset is recognized as deferred income and evenly amortized to

profit or loss over the useful life of the related asset. A government grant measured at a nominal

amount is recognized immediately in profit or loss for the period. Where the related asset is sold

transferred scrapped or damaged prior to the end of its useful life the related undistributed deferred

income is transferred to the profit or loss for the disposal period.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 over the periods 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.For government grants both related to assets and income different parts are distinguished for

different accounting treatments; if it is difficult to distinguish they should be classified as

government grants related to income as a whole.A government grant related to the Group's daily activities is recognized in other income based on

the nature of economic activities; a government grant not related to the Group's daily activities is

recognized in non-operating income.

30. Income tax

The income tax expenses include current income tax and deferred income tax.

30.1 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.

30.2 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 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.- 54 -CHINA MERCHANTS PORT GROUP CO. LTD.NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

30.2 Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities - continued

Deferred tax liabilities 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) 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.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 difference and it is probable that the temporary difference

will not reverse in the foreseeable future. Deferred tax assets arising from deductible temporary

differences associated with such investments in subsidiaries associates and joint ventures are only

recognized to the extent 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 related assets are recovered or the related liabilities are 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 in shareholders' equity in which case they are recognized in other comprehensive income

or in 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.

30.3 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.- 55 -CHINA MERCHANTS PORT GROUP CO. LTD.NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

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.

31. Leases

A lease is a contract whereby the lessor conveys to the lessee in return for a consideration the right

to use an asset for an agreed period of time.For contracts entered into the Group assesses whether a contract is or contains a lease at inception

date. Such contract will not be reassessed unless the terms and conditions of the contract are

subsequently changed.

31.1 The Group as Lessee

31.1.1 Separating components of a lease

If a contract contains a lease component and one or more non-lease components the Group allocates

the consideration in the contract to each lease component on the basis of the relative stand-alone

price of the lease components and the aggregate stand-alone price of the non-lease components.

31.1.2 Right-of-use assets

Except for short-term leases and leases for which the underlying asset is of low value at the

commencement date of the lease the Group recognizes right-of-use assets. The commencement

date of the lease is the date on which a lessor makes an underlying asset available for use by the

Group. Right-of-use assets are initially measured at cost. The cost of the right-of-use assets

comprises:

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 lessee 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.- 56 -CHINA MERCHANTS PORT GROUP CO. LTD.NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises No. 4 - Fixed Assets. The right-of-use assets are

depreciated over the remaining useful lives of the leased assets where the Group is reasonably

certain to obtain ownership of the underlying assets at the end of the lease term. Otherwise right-

of-use assets are depreciated over the shorter of the lease term and the remaining useful lives of the

leased assets.The Group applies Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises No. 8 - Impairment of Assets to

determine whether the right-of-use assets are impaired and to account for any impairment loss

identified.

31.1.3 Lease liabilities

Except for short-term leases and leases for which the underlying asset is of low value at the

commencement date of the lease the Group measures the lease liabilities at the present value of the

lease payments that are not paid at that date. If the interest rate implicit in the lease cannot be readily

determined the lessee shall use the lessee's incremental borrowing rate.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 on the remaining balance of the lease

liabilities and included in profit or loss or charged to cost of related assets.- 57 -CHINA MERCHANTS PORT GROUP CO. LTD.NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

right-of-use assets is reduced to zero and there is a further reduction in the measurement of the lease

liabilities the difference should be recognized in profit or loss.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 lease term and the

revised discount rate.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 is applied to the present value.

31.1.4 Short-term leases and leases of low-value assets

The Group chooses not to recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for short-term leases of

port and terminal facilities buildings machinery and equipment furniture and fixture and other

equipment motor vehicles and cargo ships other short-term leases and leases of low-value assets.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 that the value of the underlying

asset is less than RMB 50000 when it is new. The Group shall recognize the lease payments

associated with short-term leases and leases of low-value assets in profit or loss or cost of related

assets on a straight-line basis over 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 liability by discounting the revised

payments using a revised discount rate.- 58 -CHINA MERCHANTS PORT GROUP CO. LTD.NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

to the partial or full termination of the lease should be recognized in profit or loss. For

remeasurement of lease liabilities from all other lease modifications a corresponding adjustment is

made to the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset.

31.2 The Group as Lessor

31.2.1 Separating components of a lease

Where a contract contains both lease components and non-lease components the Group shall

apportion the contract consideration in accordance with the provisions of the revenue standards on

the apportionment of the transaction price 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 the straight-line method

over the respective periods of the lease term. The Group capitalizes initial direct costs incurred in

connection with operating leases and apportions those costs profit or loss for the period as an

expense over the lease term on the same basis as the recognition of lease 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 when incurred.

31.2.2.2 The Group as lessor under finance leases

At the commencement date the Group recognizes a finance lease receivable at the amount equal to

the net lease investment with assets under finance leases 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.- 59 -CHINA MERCHANTS PORT GROUP CO. LTD.NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

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 option provided that the lease term reflects that the lessee

will exercise the option to terminate the lease.residual value of the 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 guaranteed obligations.Variable payments receivable not included in the net investment in the lease are recognized in profit

or loss when they arise.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 a lessor of the sublease the Group accounts for the original lease contract and the sublease

contract as two separate contracts. 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.

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.The Group should account for the modification to a finance lease as a separate lease if both of the

followings are satisfied:

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.- 60 -CHINA MERCHANTS PORT GROUP CO. LTD.NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

at the inception 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

asset as the net investment in the lease before the effective date of the lease modification.If the lease would have been classified as a finance lease had the modification been in effect

at the inception date the Group should apply the requirements of contract modification and

renegotiation under the ASBE No. 22.

31.2.5 Sale and leaseback transactions

31.2.5.1 The Group as the seller-lessee

The Group assesses and determines whether the transfer of an asset in a sale and leaseback

transaction constitutes a sale according to the requirements of revenue standards. If the transfer of

an asset does not constitute a sale the Group should continue to recognize the transferred asset and

should recognize a financial liability at an amount equal to the transfer proceeds applying the ASBE

No. 22 . If the transfer of an asset is a sale the Group should measure the right-of-use asset arising

from the leaseback at the proportion of the original carrying amount of the asset that relates to the

right of use and recognize only any gain or loss that relates to the rights transferred to the lessor.

31.2.5.2 The Group as the buyer-lessor

If the transfer of an asset in a sale and leaseback transaction does not constitutes 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 ASBE No. 22. If the transfer of an asset

constitutes a sale the Group accounts for the purchase of the asset in accordance with other

applicable ASBEs and accounts for the lease of the asset.

32. Exchange of Non-Monetary Assets

When a non-monetary assets transaction has commercial substance and the fair value of the assets

received or surrendered can be measured reliably. For assets received the fair value of the assets

surrendered and relevant payable taxes shall be regarded as the transaction cost of the assets

received at initial recognition. For assets surrendered the difference between the fair value and the

carrying value of the asset surrendered shall be recognized in profit or loss for the period. When

there is clear evidence indicating that the fair value of the assets received is more reliable the cost

of assets received and surrendered shall be calculated in different ways. For the assets received the

fair value of the asset received and related taxes payable are recognized as the cost at initial

recognition. For the assets surrendered at derecognition the difference between the fair value of

the assets received and the carrying amount of the assets surrendered shall be recognized in profit

or loss for the period.- 61 -CHINA MERCHANTS PORT GROUP CO. LTD.NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

33. Discontinued Operation

A discontinued operation is a component of the Group that can be clearly distinguished either has

been disposed of or is classified as held for sale and meets one of the following conditions:

(1) Such component represents a separate major line of business or geographic area of

34. 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 the

special 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 special

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

special reserve with the accumulated depreciation recognized at the same amount. Depreciation will

not be made in the future period on such fixed assets.

35. 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.- 62 -CHINA MERCHANTS PORT GROUP CO. LTD.NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(IV) SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES - continued

35. Share-based payments - continued

Equity-settled share-based payments in exchange for services rendered by employees are measured

at the 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 vest immediately with a corresponding increase in capital

reserves.(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

experiences 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

current period; changes which not only affect the current but the future periods should be recognized

in current and future periods. 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 book

values of assets and liabilities in the future are:

Goodwill impairment

For the purpose of impairment testing the present value of the expected future cash flows of the

assets group or portfolio including goodwill shall be calculated and such expected future cash flows

shall be estimated. Meantime a pre-tax rate shall be determined that should reflect the time value

of money on the current market and the specific interest risks.Recognition of deferred income tax

The Group calculates and makes provision for deferred tax liabilities according to the profit

distribution plan of subsidiaries associates and the joint ventures subject to the related law. For

retained earnings which are not allocated by the investment company since the profits will be used

to invest the company's daily operation and future development no deferred tax liabilities are

recognized. If the actually distributed profits in the future are more or less than those expected

corresponding deferred tax liabilities will be recognized or reversed at the earlier of the date on

which the profit distribution plan is changed and the date on which the profit distribution is declared

in profit and loss for the period.- 63 -CHINA MERCHANTS PORT GROUP CO. LTD.NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unless otherwise specified the monetary unit shall be RMB.)

(V) CRITICAL JUDGMENTS IN APPLYING ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND KEY

ASSUMPTIONS AND UNCERTAINTIES IN ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES - continued

Recognition of deferred income tax - continued

Deferred tax assets are recognized based on the deductible temporary difference and the

corresponding tax rate to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available

against which the deductible temporary differences can be utilized. If the actual taxable income in

the future is 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.Estimated useful lives and residual values of fixed assets and intangible assets

The Group assesses the estimated useful lives and residual values of its fixed assets and intangible

assets. Such assessment is made by reference to the historical experience of actual useful lives and

residual values of fixed assets and intangible assets of a similar nature and function and may subject

to significant changes due to technical innovation and fierce industry competition. Where the

estimated useful lives and residual values 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 effects

1.1 Interpretation No. 16 of the Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises

The Interpretation No. 16 of the Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises (the "Interpretation

No. 16") was issued by the Ministry of Finance on 30 November 2022 which stipulated the

accounting treatment concerning the exemption of initial recognition of deferred income tax relating

to assets and liabilities arising from a single transaction.The Interpretation No. 16 revised the coverage of exemption of the initial recognition of deferred

income tax in the Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises No. 18 - Income Tax and specified

that the relevant provisions on the exemption of initial recognition of deferred tax liabilities and

deferred tax assets are not applicable to a single transaction (not a business combination) that affects

neither the accounting profit nor taxable income (or deductible losses) at the time of transaction

and where the assets and liabilities initially recognized generate equal taxable temporary differences

and deductible temporary differences. The Interpretation became effective from 1 January 2023 and

could be early applied. The Group early applied the Interpretation in the current year and accounted

for the single transactions retrospectively that occurred between the beginning of the earliest

presentation period of the financial statements and 31 December 2022 and restated the comparative

financial statements. The impact on the relevant items is as follows:

land use rights for berth and storage yard within Chiwan Port area obtained by the Group

from Nanshan Group with an area of 815234.87 m2 and the land use rights for Dachan

obtained from Nanshan Group by way of long-term lease. Up to date as Nanshan Group

has not yet obtained the land use rights in respect of the lands within Chiwan watershed

including aforementioned capital investment and land lease to the Group therefore the

Group cannot obtain the ownership certificate for relevant land and buildings on such land.The Company's management understood that the Nanshan Group is negotiating with

relevant government departments regarding the historical issues and the date when the

Group can obtain the ownership certificate of relevant land and buildings on such land

cannot be estimated reliably.- 88 -CHINA MERCHANTS PORT GROUP CO. LTD.NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(4) Impairment test of goodwill and key parameters

When testing the goodwill for impairment the Group compares the carrying amount of related

assets group and portfolio of assets group (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 assets group and portfolio of assets

group 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 5 years to 26 years detailed forecast period and

subsequent forecast period. The estimated future cash flows for the detailed forecast period are

based on the business plan established by the management; the expected future cash flows for the

subsequent forecast period are determined in conjunction with the level of the final year of the

detailed forecast 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 assets group and portfolio of assets group 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 parameters of key assumptions determined by the Group's management are in line with the

Group's historical experience or external source of information.

(3) Description of performance obligations

The Group provides wharf services bonded logistics services and other services. These services are

obligations satisfied over time. For wharf services as the handling time for containers and bulk

cargos is short the management believes that it is an appropriate method to recognize the fulfillment

of performance obligation and revenue upon the completion of the services. For bonded logistics

services and other services the customers evenly obtain and consume economic benefits from the

Group's performance of contract meanwhile charging rules as agreed in contract terms usually

adopt daily/month/yearly basis. During the process of rendering services the Group recognizes

revenue using the straight-line method.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 rates or discounts. At

the end of the period as the business quantity 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 rather than including it in the transaction prices. At the

end of the period the variable considerations arising from sales discount are set out in Note (VIII)

33 (3) and Note (VIII) 42.

(XI) RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

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 and EUR. Except for

part of the purchases and sales the Group's other principal activities are denominated and settled in

RMB. As at 30 June 2023 the balance of the Group's assets and liabilities are both denominated in

functional currency or the currency that has pegged exchange rate against the functional currency

except that the assets and liabilities set out below are recorded using the currency that is neither

functional currency nor currency that has pegged exchange rate against the functional currency.Currency risk arising from the foreign currency balance of assets and liabilities may have impact

on the Group's performance.Item 30/6/2023 31/12/2022

Long-term borrowings 4658000000.00 3669000000.00

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 management considers it is unlikely that the exchange rate changes in the future one

year will result in significant loss to the Group.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

shareholders' equity:

(XI) RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS - continued

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) 26 and Note (VIII) 37). 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 etc.Sensitivity analysis of interest rate risk

Sensitivity analysis of 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 affects its fair value and all interest rate hedging 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:

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 utilization of bank

borrowings and ensures compliance with loan covenants.As at 30 June 2023 the Group had total current liabilities in excess of total current assets of RMB

1400548100.60. At 30 June 2023 the Group had available and unused line of credit and bonds

amounting to RMB 67024496484.81 which is greater than the balance of the net current liabilities

and may obtain fund support within the line of credit and bonds as necessary. Therefore the Group's

management believes that the Group has no significant liquidity risk.- 132 -CHINA MERCHANTS PORT GROUP CO. LTD.NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
