In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements of the Company are prepared and present fairly,in all material respects, the consolidated and Company's financial position as at 31 December 2022,and the consolidated and Company's results of operations and cash flows for the year then ended inaccordance with the Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises.

II. Basis for the Opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with China Standards on Auditing. Our responsibilities underthose standards are further described in the Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the FinancialStatements section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with China Codeof Ethics for Certified Public Accountants, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities inaccordance with the Code. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient andappropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

III. Key Audit Matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance inour audit of the financial statements of the current year. These matters were addressed in the context ofour audit of the financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, we do not providea separate opinion on these matters. We determine the followings are key audit matters that need to beaddressed in our report.

1. Subsequent measurement of long-term equity investments in associates

As disclosed in Note (VIII) 13 to the consolidated financial statements, as at 31 December 2022, thecarrying amount of the Company's long-term equity investments in associates amounts to RMB82,647,500,863.33, accounting for 64.44% of the total shareholder's equity. In 2022, the investmentincome from associates recognized under the equity method amounts to RMB 6,765,840,426.95,accounting for 82.19% of the consolidated net profit. Since the amount of income from investments inassociates recognized by the Company for the year is significant, and its correctness depends on thefinancial status and operating results of the investee, we determine the above-mentioned subsequentmeasurement of the long-term equity investments in associates as a key audit matter of theconsolidated financial statements.

independence and professional competence;

(2) Identified and assessed the risk of material misstatement in the financial statements of the major

associates from the perspective of auditing the consolidated financial statements of theCompany by reading the financial statements of the major associates and discussing with themanagement about the financial performance of the major associates and the significantjudgments and estimates made in the preparation of the financial statements;

(3) Discussed with the component certified public accountants of the major associates about their

assessment of the component audit risk, the identification of key audit areas and theimplementation of the corresponding audit procedures to evaluate whether the audit of thecomponent certified public accountants was appropriate;

associates were consistent with those of the Company. If not, checked whether the financialstatements of the major associates have been adjusted according to the accounting policies andaccounting periods of the Company, and recognized the amount of investment income underequity method on that basis.

2. Goodwill impairment

As disclosed in Note (VIII) 22 to the consolidated financial statements, as at 31 December 2022, thegoodwill presented in the consolidated financial statements of the Company is RMB 6,411,426,891.09.The management of the Company uses the net amount of fair value less costs of disposal or the presentvalue of the estimated future cash flows to determine the recoverable amount of the relevant assetgroup when testing the goodwill for impairment, of which the fair value assessment is based on themarket approach, and the forecast of future cash flows and the calculation of the present value includekey assumptions, such as growth rate and discount rate. We determine goodwill impairment as a keyaudit matter of the consolidated financial statements due to the significant amount of goodwill and thatthe management needs to make significant judgments and estimates when conducting goodwillimpairment testing.

IV. Other Information - continued

In combination with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the otherinformation and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with thefinancial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materiallymisstated.

V. Responsibilities of the Management and Those Charged with Governance for the

Financial Statements

The management of the Company is responsible for the preparation of the financial statements thatgive a true and fair view in accordance with Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises, and forthe design, performance and maintenance of such internal control that is necessary to enable that thepreparation of financial statements are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial statements, the management is responsible for assessing the Company'sability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern andusing the going concern basis of accounting unless the management either intends to liquidate theCompany or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

VI. Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free frommaterial misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes anaudit opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an auditconducted in accordance with China Standards on Auditing will always detect a material misstatementwhen it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individuallyor in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of userstaken on the basis of these financial statements.

VI. Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements - continued

(1) Identified and assessed the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether

due to fraud or error, designed and performed audit procedures responsive to those risks, andobtained audit evidence that was sufficient and appropriate to form our opinion. The risk of notdetecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud was higher than for one resulting fromerror, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or theoverride of internal control.

(2) Understood audit-related internal control in order to design audit procedures that were

appropriate in the circumstances.

(3) Evaluated the appropriateness of accounting policies applied and the reasonableness of

accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the management.

(4) Concluded on the appropriateness of the management' application of the going concern basis of

accounting. Based on audit evidence obtained, concluded on whether the material uncertainty ofevents or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as agoing concern existed. If we concluded that a material uncertainty existed, we were required todraw attention in our auditor's report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or tomodify our opinion, if such disclosures were inadequate. Our conclusions were based on theaudit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor's report. However, future events orconditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.

(5) Evaluated the overall presentation (including the disclosures), structure and content of the

financial statements, and whether the financial statements represented the underlyingtransactions and events in a manner that achieved fair presentation.

(6) Obtained sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities

or business activities within the Company to express an opinion on the financial statements. Wewere responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the group audit. Weremained solely responsible for our audit opinion.

(IV) SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES

1. Accounting year

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

2. Operating cycle

An operating cycle refers to the period since when an enterprise purchases assets for processingpurpose till the realization of those assets in cash or cash equivalents. The Group is principallyengaged in the rendering of port service, bonded logistics service and other businesses such asproperty 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 Companyand its domestic subsidiaries operate. Therefore, the Company and its domestic subsidiarieschoose RMB as their functional currency. The Company's overseas subsidiaries choose theirfunctional currencies 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 instrumentswhich are measured at fair value, the Group adopts the historical cost as the principle ofmeasurement of the financial statements. Upon being restructured into a stock company, the fixedassets and intangible assets initially contributed by the state-owned shareholders are recognizedbased on the valuation amounts confirmed by the state-owned assets administration department.Where assets are impaired, provisions for asset impairment are made in accordance with therelevant requirements.

Where the historical cost is adopted as the measurement basis, assets are recorded at the amountof cash or cash equivalents paid or the fair value of the consideration given to acquire them at thetime of their acquisition. Liabilities are recorded at the amount of proceeds or assets received orthe contractual amounts for assuming the present obligation, or, at the amounts of cash or cashequivalents 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 anorderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, regardless of whetherthat price is directly observable or estimated using valuation technique. Fair value measurementand/or 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 utilizesuch assets to generate most economic benefits, or the ability to sell such assets to other marketparticipants who are able to best utilize the assets to generate economic benefits is taken intoaccount.

(IV) SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES - continued

4. Basis of accounting and principle of measurement - continued

For financial assets of which transaction prices are the fair value on initial recognition, and ofwhich valuation technique involving unobservable input is used in subsequent measurement, thevaluation technique in the course of valuation is adjusted to enable the result of initial recognitionbased on the valuation technique equal to the transaction price.

Fair value measurements are categorized into Level 1, 2 or 3 based on the degree to which theinputs to the fair value measurements are observable and the significance of the inputs to the fairvalue measurement in its entirety, which are described as follows:

? Level 1 inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities thatthe entity can access at the measurement date;? Level 2 inputs are inputs, other than quoted prices included within Level 1, that areobservable 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 undercommon 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 inwhich all of the combining enterprises are ultimately controlled by the same party or parties bothbefore and after the combination, and that control is not transitory.

Assets and liabilities obtained shall be measured at their respective carrying amounts as recordedby the combining entities at the date of the combination. The difference between the carryingamount of the net assets obtained and the carrying amount of the consideration paid for thecombination is adjusted to the share premium in capital reserve. If the share premium is notsufficient 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 in the period inwhich 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 businesscombination in which all of the combining enterprises are not ultimately controlled by the sameparty or parties before and after the combination.

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 assetsgiven, liabilities incurred or assumed, and equity securities issued by the acquirer, in exchange forcontrol of the acquiree. Where a business combination not involving enterprises under commoncontrol is achieved in stages that involve multiple transactions, the cost of combination is the sumof the consideration paid at the acquisition date and the fair value at the acquisition date of theacquirer's previously held interest in the acquiree. The intermediary expenses (fees in respect ofauditing, legal services, valuation and consultancy services, etc.) and other administrativeexpenses attributable to the business combination are recognized in profit or loss in the periodswhen they are incurred.

The acquiree's identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities acquired by the acquirer in abusiness combination that meet the recognition criteria shall be measured at fair value at theacquisition date.

When a business combination contract provides for the acquirer's recovery of considerationpreviously paid contingent on one or multiple future event(s), the Group recognizes the contingentconsideration provided in the contract as an asset, as part of the consideration transferred in thebusiness combination, and includes it in the cost of business combination at the fair value at theacquisition date. Within 12 months after the acquisition, where the contingent consideration needsto be adjusted as new or further evidences are obtained in respect of the circumstances existed atthe acquisition date, the adjustment shall be recognized and the amount originally recognized ingoodwill or non-operating income shall be adjusted. A change in or adjustment to the contingentconsideration under other circumstances shall be accounted for in accordance with AccountingStandards for Business Enterprise No. 22 - Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurementand Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises No. 13 - Contingencies. Any change oradjustment is 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'sidentifiable net assets, the difference is treated as an asset and recognized as goodwill, which ismeasured at cost on initial recognition. Where the cost of combination is less than the acquirer'sinterest in the fair value of the acquiree's identifiable net assets, the acquirer reassesses themeasurement of the fair values of the acquiree's identifiable assets, liabilities and contingentliabilities and measurement of the cost of combination. If after that reassessment, the cost ofcombination is still less than the acquirer's interest in the fair value of the acquiree's identifiablenet assets, the acquirer recognizes the remaining difference immediately in profit or loss for thecurrent period.

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 acombination or the cost of business combination can be determined only provisionally by the endof the period in which the business combination was effected, the acquirer recognizes andmeasures the combination using those provisional values. Any adjustments to those provisionalvalues within twelve months after the acquisition date are treated as if they had been recognizedand measured on the acquisition date.

Goodwill arising from a business combination is measured at cost less accumulated impairmentlosses, and is presented separately in the consolidated financial statements.

For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill is considered together with the related assetsgroups, i.e., goodwill is reasonably allocated to the related assets groups or each of assets groupsexpected to benefit from the synergies of the combination. In testing an assets group withgoodwill for impairment, an impairment loss is recognized if the recoverable amount of the assetsgroup or sets of assets groups (including goodwill) is less than its carrying amount. Theimpairment loss is firstly allocated to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated tosuch assets group or sets of assets groups, and then to the other assets of the group pro-rata on thebasis of the carrying amount of each asset (other than goodwill) in the group.

Recoverable amount is the higher of the fair value of an asset less cost of disposal and the presentvalue of estimated future cash flows.

The impairment loss of goodwill is recognized in profit or loss for the period and shall not bereversed in subsequent periods.

6. Consolidated financial statements

The scope of consolidation in the consolidated financial statements is determined on the basis ofcontrol. Control exists when the investor has power over the investee; is exposed, or has rights, tovariable returns from its involvement with the investee; and has the ability to use its power overthe investee to affect its returns. The Group reassesses whether or not it controls an investee iffacts and circumstances indicate that there are changes in the above elements of the definition ofcontrol.

Consolidation of a subsidiary begins when the Group obtains control over the subsidiary andceases when the Group loses control of the subsidiary.

For a subsidiary already disposed of by the Group, the operating results and cash flows before thedate of disposal (the date when control is lost) are included in the consolidated income statementand consolidated cash flow statement, as appropriate.

(IV) SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES - continued

6. Consolidated financial statements - continued

For subsidiaries acquired through a business combination involving enterprises not undercommon control, the operating results and cash flows from the acquisition date (the date whencontrol is obtained) are included in the consolidated income statement and consolidated cash flowstatement, as appropriate.

No matter when the business combination occurs in the reporting period, subsidiaries acquiredthrough a business combination involving enterprises under common control or the party beingabsorbed under merger by absorption are included in the Group's scope of consolidation as if theyhad been included in the scope of consolidation from the date when they first came under thecommon control of the ultimate controlling party. Their operating results and cash flows from thedate when they first came under the common control of the ultimate controlling party are includedin the consolidated income statement and consolidated cash flow statement, as appropriate.

The significant accounting policies and accounting periods adopted by the subsidiaries aredetermined based on the uniform accounting policies and accounting periods set out by theCompany.

Where the accounting policies and accounting periods adopted by subsidiaries are inconsistentwith those of the Company, appropriate adjustments are made to the subsidiaries' financialstatements in accordance with the accounting policies of the Company.

All significant intra-group balances and transactions are eliminated on consolidation.

The portion of subsidiaries' equity that is not attributable to the Company is treated as minorityinterests and presented as "minority interests" in the consolidated balance sheet under the lineitem of shareholders' equity. The portion of net profits or losses of subsidiaries for the periodattributable to minority interests is presented as "minority interests" in the consolidated incomestatement under the line item of "net profit". The portion of comprehensive income of subsidiariesfor the period attributable to minority interests is presented as "total comprehensive incomeattributable to minority shareholders" in the consolidated income statement under the line item of"total comprehensive income".

When the amount of loss for the period attributable to the minority shareholders of a subsidiaryexceeds the minority shareholders' portion of the opening balance of owners' equity of thesubsidiary, the excess amount is still allocated against minority interests.

Acquisition of minority interests or disposal of interests in a subsidiary that does not result in theloss of control over the subsidiary is accounted for as equity transactions. The carrying amountsof the Company's interests and minority interests are adjusted to reflect the changes in theirrelative interests in the subsidiary. The difference between the amount by which the minorityinterests are adjusted and the fair value of the consideration paid or received is adjusted to capitalreserve. If the capital reserve is not sufficient to absorb the difference, the excess is adjustedagainst retained earnings.

For the stepwise acquisition of equity interest till acquiring control after a few transactions andleading to business combination not involving enterprises under common control, it shall be dealtwith based on whether it belongs to 'package deal': if it belongs to 'package deal', it will beaccounted for as a transactions to acquire control; if it does not belong to 'package deal', it will beaccounted for as a transaction to acquire control on acquisition date, and the fair value of acquiree'shares held before acquisition date will be revalued, and the difference between fair value andcarrying amount will be recognized in profit or loss of the current period; if acquiree' shares heldbefore acquisition date involve changes in other comprehensive income and other changes inowners' equity under equity method, it will be transferred to income of acquisition date.

When the Group loses control over a subsidiary due to disposal of equity investment or otherreasons, any retained interest is re-measured at its fair value at the date when control is lost. Thedifference between (i) the aggregate of the consideration received on disposal and the fair value ofany retained interest and (ii) the share of the former subsidiary's net assets cumulatively calculatedfrom the acquisition date according to the original proportion of ownership interests is recognizedas investment income in the period in which control is lost, and the goodwill is offset accordingly.Other comprehensive income associated with investment in the former subsidiary is reclassified toinvestment income in the period in which control is lost.

When the Group loses control of a subsidiary in two or more arrangements (transactions), termsand conditions of the arrangements (transactions) and their economic effects are considered. Oneor more of the following indicate that the Group shall account for the multiple arrangements as a'package deal': (i) they are entered into at the same time or in contemplation of each other; (ii)they form a complete transaction designed to achieve an overall commercial effect; (iii) theoccurrence 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 whenconsidered together with other transactions. Where the transactions of disposal of equityinvestments in a subsidiary until the loss of control are assessed as a package deal, thesetransactions are accounted for as one transaction of disposal of a subsidiary with loss of control.Before losing control, the difference of consideration received on disposal and the share of netassets of the subsidiary continuously calculated from acquisition date is recognized as othercomprehensive income. When losing control, the cumulated other comprehensive income istransferred to profit or loss of the period of losing control. If the transactions of disposal of equityinvestments in a subsidiary are not assessed as a package deal, these transactions are accountedfor as unrelated transactions.

A joint venture is a jointarrangement whereby the parties that have joint control of the arrangement have rights to the netassets of the arrangement.

8. Cash and cash equivalents

Cash comprises cash on hand and deposits that can be readily withdrawn on demand. Cashequivalents 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 aresubject 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 exchangerate on the date of the transaction.

At the balance sheet date, foreign currency monetary items are translated into functional currencyusing the spot exchange rates at the balance sheet date. Exchange differences arising from thedifferences between the spot exchange rates prevailing at the balance sheet date and those oninitial recognition or at the previous balance sheet date are recognized in profit or loss for theperiod, except that (1) exchange differences related to a specific-purpose borrowing denominatedin foreign currency that qualify for capitalization are capitalized as part of the cost of thequalifying asset during the capitalization period; (2) exchange differences related to hedginginstruments for the purpose of hedging against foreign currency risks are accounted for usinghedge accounting; (3) exchange differences arising from changes in the carrying amounts (otherthan the amortized cost) of monetary items at fair value through other comprehensive income arerecognized as other comprehensive income.

9.1 Transactions denominated in foreign currencies - continued

When the consolidated financial statements include foreign operation(s), if there is foreigncurrency monetary item constituting a net investment in a foreign operation, exchange differencesarising from changes in exchange rates are recognized as "exchange differences arising fromtranslation of financial statements denominated in foreign currencies" in other comprehensiveincome, and in profit or loss for the period upon disposal of the foreign operation.

Foreign currency non-monetary items measured at historical cost are translated to the amounts infunctional currency at the spot exchange rates on the dates of the transactions; the amounts infunctional currency remain unchanged. Foreign currency non-monetary items measured at fairvalue are re-translated at the spot exchange rate on the date when the fair value is determined.Difference between the re-translated functional currency amount and the original functionalcurrency amount is treated as changes in fair value (including changes in exchange rate) and isrecognized in profit or 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 aforeign operation are translated from the foreign currency into RMB using the following method:

assets and liabilities on the balance sheet are translated at the spot exchange rate prevailing at thebalance sheet date; shareholders' equity items except for unappropriated profit are translated at thespot exchange rates at the dates on which such items arose; all items in the income statement aswell as items reflecting the distribution of profits are translated at the average exchange rates ofthe accounting period of the consolidated financial statements; the opening balance ofunappropriated 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 eachtranslated income statement and profit distribution item. The difference between the translatedassets and the aggregate of liabilities and shareholders' equity items is recognized as othercomprehensive income and included in shareholders' equity.

Cash flows arising from a transaction in foreign currency and the cash flows of a foreignsubsidiary are translated at average exchange rate during the accounting period of consolidatedfinancial statements. The effect of exchange rate changes on cash and cash equivalents is regardedas a reconciling item and presented separately in the cash flow statement as "effect of exchangerate changes on cash and cash equivalents".

The closing balances and the comparative figures of previous year are presented at the translatedamounts in the previous year's financial statements.

9.2 Translation of financial statements denominated in foreign currencies - continued

On disposal of the Group's entire interest in a foreign operation, or upon a loss of control over aforeign operation due to disposal of certain interest in it or other reasons, the Group transfers theaccumulated exchange differences arising from translation of financial statements of this foreignoperation attributable to the owners' equity of the Company and presented under othercomprehensive income, to profit or loss in the period in which the disposal occurs.

In case of a disposal of part equity investments or other reason leading to lower interestpercentage in foreign operations but does not result in the Group losing control over a foreignoperation, the exchange differences arising from the translation of foreign currency statementsrelated to this disposed part are re-attributed to minority interests and are not recognized in profitor loss. For partial disposals of equity interests in foreign operations which are associates or jointventures, the proportionate share of the accumulated exchange differences arising from translationof statements of foreign operations is reclassified to profit or loss.

10. Financial instruments

The Group recognizes a financial asset or a financial liability when it becomes a party to thecontractual provisions of the financial instrument.

For financial assets purchased or sold in regular ways, assets to be received and liabilities to beassumed are recognized on the transaction date or assets sold are derecognized on that date.

Financial assets and financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value. For financial assetsand financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs are immediatelyrecognized in profit or loss. For other financial assets and financial liabilities, transaction costs areincluded in their initial recognized amounts. Upon initial recognition of contract assets, accountsreceivable and notes receivable that do not contain significant financing component or withoutconsidering the financing component included in the contract with a term not exceeding one yearunder the Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises No. 14 - Revenue ("RevenueStandards"), the Group adopts the transaction price as defined in the Revenue Standards for initialmeasurement.

The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortized cost of a financial asset or afinancial liability and of allocating the interest income or interest expenses over the relevantaccounting periods.

10. Financial instruments - continued

The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash flows through theexpected life of the financial asset or financial liability to the gross carrying amount of thefinancial asset or to the amortized cost of the financial liability. When calculating the effectiveinterest rate, the Group estimates future cash flows considering all contractual terms of thefinancial asset or financial liability (such as repayment in advance, extension, call option or othersimilar options etc.) (without considering the expected credit losses).

The amortized cost of a financial asset or a financial liability is the amount of a financial asset or afinancial liability initially recognized net of principal repaid, plus or less the cumulative amortizedamount arising from amortization of the difference between the amount initially recognized andthe amount at the maturity date using the effective interest method, net of cumulative credit lossallowance (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 aresubsequently measured at amortized cost, at fair value through other comprehensive income or atfair value through profit or loss.

If the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that aresolely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding, and the financialasset is held within a business model whose objective is achieved by collecting contractual cashflows, the Group classifies such financial asset as financial assets at amortized cost, which includecash and bank balances, notes receivable, accounts receivable, other receivables, debtinvestments, and long-term receivables etc.

If the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that aresolely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding, and the financialasset is held within a business model whose objective is achieved by both collecting contractualcash flows and selling the financial asset, the Group classifies such financial asset as financialassets at FVTOCI. The accounts receivable and notes receivable classified as at FVTOCI uponacquisition are presented under receivables financing, while the remaining items due within oneyear (inclusive) upon acquisition are presented under other current assets. Other financial assets ofsuch type are presented as other debt investments if they are due after one year since theacquisition, or presented under non-current assets due within one year if they are due within oneyear (inclusive) since the balance sheet date.

On initial recognition, the Group may irrevocably designate non-trading equity instruments, otherthan contingent consideration recognized through business combination not involving enterprisesunder common control, as financial assets at FVTOCI on an individual basis. Such financialassets at FVTOCI are presented as investments in other equity instruments.

10.1 Classification, recognition and measurement of financial assets - continued

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 theGroup manages together and there is objective evidence that the Group has a recent actualpattern of short-term profit-taking; or? It is a derivative that is not a financial guarantee contract or designated and effective as ahedging instrument.

Financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss ("FVTPL") include those classifiedas 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 atFVTPL if doing so eliminates or significantly reduces accounting mismatch.

Financial assets at FVTPL other than derivative financial assets are presented as financial assetsheld-for-trading. Financial assets with a maturity over one year since the balance sheet date (orwithout 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 usingthe effective interest method. Gain or loss arising from impairment or derecognition is recognizedin profit or loss.

For financial assets measured at amortized cost, the Group recognizes interest income usingeffective interest method. The Group calculates and recognizes interest income through grosscarrying amount of financial assets multiplying effective interest rate, except for the followingcircumstances:

? For purchased or originated credit-impaired financial assets, the Group calculates and

recognizes the interest income based on amortized cost of the financial asset and the

effective interest rate through credit adjustment since initial recognition.

For financial assets classified as at FVTOCI, except for the impairment losses or gains and theinterest income and exchange losses or gains calculated using the effective interest method whichare included in profit or loss for the period, the changes in fair value are included in othercomprehensive income. The amounts included in profit or loss for each period are equivalent tothat as if the financial assets have been always measured at amortized cost. Upon derecognition,the accumulated gains or losses previously included in other comprehensive income aretransferred to profit or loss for the period.

Changes in fair value of non-trading equity instrument investments designated as financial assetsat FVTOCI are recognized in other comprehensive income, and the cumulative gains or lossespreviously recognized in other comprehensive income allocated to the part derecognized aretransferred and included in retained earnings. During the period in which the Group holds thenon-trading equity instruments, revenue from dividends is recognized in profit or loss for thecurrent period when (1) the Group has established the right of collecting dividends; (2) it isprobable that the associated economic benefits will flow to the Group; and (3) the amount ofdividends can be measured reliably.

10.1.3 Financial assets at FVTPL

Financial assets at FVTPL are subsequently measured at fair value. Gain or loss arising fromchanges in fair value and dividends and interest related to the financial assets are recognized inprofit 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 liabilitiesthat are not at FVTPL and financial guarantee contracts that are not qualified for derecognitiondue to the transfer of financial assets or financial liabilities arising from continuing involvementof the transferred financial assets, the Group accounts for the impairment and recognizes theprovision for losses on the basis of expected credit loss ("ECL").

For all contract assets, accounts receivable and notes receivable arising from transactionsregulated by Revenue Standards, and lease receivables arising from transactions regulated by theAccounting Standards for Business Enterprises No. 21 - Leases, the Group recognizes theprovision for losses at an amount equivalent to lifetime ECL.

10. Financial instruments - continued

10.2 Impairment of financial instruments - continued

For other financial instruments (other than purchased or originated credit-impaired financialassets), the Group assesses the changes in credit risk since initial recognition of relevant financialinstruments at each balance sheet date. If the credit risk has increased significantly since initialrecognition of the financial instruments, the Group recognizes the provision for losses at anamount equivalent to lifetime ECL; if the credit risk has not increased significantly since initialrecognition of the financial instruments, the Group recognizes the provision for losses at anamount equivalent to 12-month ECL. The increase or reversal of credit loss provision for financialassets other than those classified as at FVTOCI is recognized as impairment loss or gain andincluded in profit or loss for the period. For financial assets classified as at FVTOCI, the creditloss provision is recognized in other comprehensive income and the impairment loss or gain isincluded in profit or loss for the period without reducing the carrying amount of the financialassets in the balance sheet.

Where the Group has measured the provision for losses at an amount equivalent to lifetime ECLof a financial instrument in prior accounting period, but the financial instrument no longersatisfies the criteria of significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition at the currentbalance sheet date, the Group recognizes the provision for losses of the financial instrument at anamount equivalent to 12-month ECL at the current balance sheet date, with any resulting reversalof provision for losses recognized as impairment gains in profit or loss for the period.

10.2.1 Significant increase of credit risk

The Group uses reasonable and supportable forward-looking information to assess whether thecredit risk has increased significantly since initial recognition by comparing the risk of a defaultoccurring on the financial instrument at the balance sheet date with the risk of a default occurringon the financial instrument at the date of initial recognition. For loan commitments and financialguarantee contracts, the date on which the Group becomes a party to the irrevocable commitmentis considered to be the date of initial recognition in the application of criteria related to thefinancial instrument for impairment.

In particular, the following information is taken into account when assessing whether credit riskhas increased significantly:

(1) Significant changes in internal price indicators resulting from changes in credit risk;

(2) Significant changes in the rates or other terms of an existing financial instrument if the

instrument was newly originated or issued at the balance sheet date (such as morestringent covenants, increased amounts of collateral or guarantees, or higher rate of return,etc.);

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

rating;

(5) An actual or expected decrease in the internal credit rating for the debtor;

10.2.1 Significant increase of credit risk - continued

The Group assumes that the credit risk on a financial instrument has not increased significantlysince initial recognition if the financial instrument is determined to have lower credit risk at thebalance sheet date. A financial instrument is determined to have lower credit risk if: i) it has alower risk of default, ii) the borrower has a strong capacity to meet its contractual cash flowobligations in the near term and iii) adverse changes in economic and business conditions in thelonger term may, but will not necessarily, reduce the ability of the borrower to fulfil itscontractual 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 flowsof the financial assets have occurred, the financial assets become credit-impaired. The evidencesof 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 becoming probable that the debtor will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganizations.

(5) The disappearance of an active market for the financial asset because of financial

difficulties of the issuer or the debtor.

(6) Purchase or origination of a financial asset with a large scale of discount, which reflects

the fact of credit loss.

Based on the Group's internal credit risk management, the Group considers an event of defaultoccurs when information developed internally or obtained from external sources indicates that thedebtor is unlikely to pay its creditors, including the Group, in full (without taking into account anycollaterals held by the Group).

10.2.3 Determination of expected credit loss

The Group determines the credit losses on lease receivables on an individual asset basis, and onnotes receivable, accounts receivable, other receivables, contract assets, debt investments andother debt investments on a portfolio basis using an impairment matrix for related financialinstruments. The financial instruments are grouped based on common risk characteristics. Thecommon credit risk characteristics adopted by the Group include credit risk rating, initialrecognition date, remaining contractual term, industry of the debtor, geographical location of thedebtor, etc.

10.2.3 Determination of expected credit loss - continued

The Group determines the ECL of relevant financial instruments using the following methods:

? For financial assets, the credit loss is the present value of the difference between the

contractual cash flows that are due to the Group under the contract and the cash flows thatthe Group expects to receive;? For lease receivables, the credit loss is the present value of the difference between thecontractual cash flows that are due to the Group under the contract and the cash flows thatthe Group expects to receive;? For undrawn loan commitments (refer to Note IV, 10.4.1.3 for the detail of accountingpolicies), the credit loss is the present value of the difference between the contractual cashflows 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'sestimation of the ECL for loan commitments is consistent with its expectation of the loancommitments drawn down.? For financial guarantee contracts (refer to Note IV, 10.4.1.3 for the detail of accountingpolicies), the credit loss is the present value of the expected payments to reimburse theholder for the credit loss incurred less any amounts that the Group expects to receive fromthe holder, the debtor or any other party.? For financial assets credit-impaired at the balance sheet date, but not purchased or originatedcredit-impaired, the credit loss is the difference between the gross carrying amount of thefinancial assets and the present value of estimated future cash flows discounted at theoriginal effective interest rate.

The factors reflected by the Group's measurement of ECL of financial instruments include:

unbiased probability weighted average amount recognized by assessing a series of possibleresults; 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 oreffort 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 assetscan be collected in aggregate or in part, the Group will directly write down the gross carryingamount of the financial assets, 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) thecontractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire; (ii) the financial asset has beentransferred and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset istransferred to the transferee; or (iii) although the financial asset has been transferred, the Groupneither transfers nor retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financialasset 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 afinancial asset, and it retains control of the financial asset, the Group will recognize the financialasset to the extent of its continuing involvement in the transferred financial asset and recognize anassociated liability. The Group will measure relevant liabilities as follows:

? For transferred financial assets carried at amortized cost, the carrying amount of relevantliabilities is the carrying amount of financial assets transferred with continuing involvementless amortized cost of the Group's retained rights (if the Group retains relevant rights upontransfer of financial assets) with addition of amortized cost of obligations assumed by theGroup (if the Group assumes relevant obligations upon transfer of financial assets). Relevantliabilities 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 relevantliabilities is the carrying amount of financial assets transferred with continuing involvementless fair value of the Group's retained rights (if the Group retains relevant rights upontransfer of financial assets) with addition of fair value of obligations assumed by the Group(if the Group assumes relevant obligations upon transfer of financial assets). Accordingly,the fair value of relevant rights and obligations shall be measured on an individual basis.

For the transfer of a financial asset in its entirety that satisfies the derecognition criteria, thedifference between (1) the carrying amount of the financial asset transferred and (2) the sum ofthe consideration received from the transfer and any cumulative gain or loss that has beenrecognized in other comprehensive income, is recognized in profit or loss. Where the transferredassets are non-trading equity instrument investments designated as at FVTOCI, cumulative gainsor losses previously recognized in other comprehensive income are transferred out and included inretained earnings.

10.3 Transfer of financial assets - continued

If a part of the transferred financial asset qualifies for derecognition, the overall carrying amountof the financial asset prior to transfer is allocated between the part that continues to be recognizedand the part that is derecognized, based on the respective fair value of those parts at the date oftransfer. The difference between (1) the carrying amount allocated to the part derecognized on thedate of derecognition; and (2) the sum of the consideration received for the part derecognized andany cumulative gain or loss allocated to the part derecognized which has been previouslyrecognized in other comprehensive income, is recognized in profit or loss. Where the transferredassets are non-trading equity instrument investments designated as at FVTOCI, cumulative gainsor losses previously recognized in other comprehensive income are transferred out and included inretained earnings.

For a transfer of a financial asset in its entirety that does not satisfy the derecognition criteria, theGroup continues to recognize the transferred financial asset in its entirety. The considerationreceived from transfer of assets is recognized as a liability upon receipt.

10.4 Classification of financial liabilities and equity instruments

Financial instruments issued by the Group or their components are classified into financialliabilities or equity instruments on the basis of the substance of the contractual arrangements andthe economic nature not only the legal form, together with the definition of financial liability andequity instrument 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 andother financial liabilities.

10.4.1.1 Financial liabilities at FVTPL

Financial liabilities at FVTPL consist of financial liabilities held for trading (including derivativesclassified as financial liabilities) and those designated as at FVTPL. Except for derivativefinancial liabilities presented separately, the financial liabilities at FVTPL are presented as held-for-trading financial liabilities.

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

? It has been acquired principally for the purpose of repurchasing in the near term; or? On initial recognition, it is part of a portfolio of identified financial instruments that theGroup manages together and there is objective evidence that the Group has a recent actualpattern of short-term profit-taking; or

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: -continued

? It is a derivative that is not a financial guarantee contract or designated and effective as ahedging instrument.

A financial liability may be designated as at FVTPL on initial recognition when one of thefollowing conditions is satisfied: (i) Such designation eliminates or significantly reducesaccounting mismatch; or (ii) The Group makes management and performance evaluation on a fairvalue basis, in accordance with the Group's formally documented risk management or investmentstrategy, and reports to key management personnel on that basis. (iii) The qualified hybridfinancial instrument combines financial asset with embedded derivatives.

Held-for-trading financial liabilities are subsequently measured at fair value. Any gains or lossesarising from changes in fair value and any dividends or interest expenses paid on the financialliabilities are recognized in profit or loss.

For a financial liability designated as at FVTPL, the amount of changes in fair value of thefinancial liability that are attributable to changes in the credit risk of that liability shall bepresented in other comprehensive income, while other changes in fair value are included in profitor loss for the current period. Upon the derecognition of such financial liability, the accumulatedamount of changes in fair value that are attributable to changes in the credit risk of that liability,which was recognized in other comprehensive income, is transferred to retained earnings. Anydividend or interest expense on the financial liabilities is recognized in profit or loss. If theaccounting treatment for the impact of the change in credit risk of such financial liability in theabove ways would create or enlarge an accounting mismatch in profit or loss, the Group shallpresent all gains or losses on that liability (including the effects of changes in the credit risk ofthat liability) in profit or loss for the period.

For financial liabilities arising from contingent consideration recognized by the Group as theacquirer in the business combination not involving enterprises under common control, the Groupmeasures such financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, and includes the changes inthe financial liabilities in profit or loss for the period.

Except for financial liabilities, financial guarantee contracts and loan commitments arising fromtransfer of financial assets that do not meet the derecognition criteria or those arising fromcontinuing involvement in the transferred financial assets, other financial liabilities aresubsequently measured at amortized cost, with gain or loss arising from derecognition oramortization recognized in profit or loss.

If the modification or renegotiation for the contract by the Group and its counterparties does notresult in derecognition of a financial liability subsequently measured at amortized cost but thechanges in contractual cash flows, the Group will recalculate the carrying amount of the financialliability, with relevant gain or loss recognized in profit or loss. The Group will determine thecarrying amount of the financial liability based on the present value of renegotiated or modifiedcontractual 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 willadjust the modified carrying amount of the financial liability and make amortization during theremaining 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 toreimburse the holder of the contract for a loss it incurs because a specified debtor fails to makepayment 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 financialliabilities at fair value through profit or loss or financial liabilities arising from transfer offinancial assets that do not meet the derecognition criteria or those arising from continuinginvolvement in the transferred financial assets, and loan commitments to provide a loan at abelow-market interest rate, which are not designated at fair value through profit or loss, aremeasured at the higher of: (1) amount of loss provision; and (2) the amount initially recognizedless 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 toreplace the original financial liability with a new financial liability with substantially differentterms is accounted for as an extinguishment of the original financial liability and the recognitionof a new financial liability.

10.4.3 Equity instruments

An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the Groupafter deducting all of its liabilities. Equity instruments issued (including refinanced), repurchased,sold and cancelled by the Group are recognized as changes in equity. Changes in fair value ofequity instruments are not recognized by the Group. Transaction costs related to equitytransactions are deducted from equity.

The Group recognizes the distribution to holders of the equity instruments as distribution ofprofits, and 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 foreignexchange options, etc. Derivatives are initially measured at fair value at the date when thederivative contracts are entered into and are subsequently measured at fair value.

Derivatives embedded in hybrid contracts with a financial asset host are not separated by theGroup. The hybrid contract shall apply the relevant accounting standards regarding theclassification of financial assets as a whole.

Derivatives embedded in hybrid contracts with hosts that are not financial assets are separated andtreated as separate derivatives by the Group when they meet the following conditions:

(1) the economic characteristics and risks of the embedded derivative are not closely related to

those of the host contract;

(2) a separate instrument with the same terms as the embedded derivative would meet the

definition of a derivative;

10.5 Derivatives and embedded derivatives - continued

For the embedded derivative separated from the host contracts, the Group accounts for the hostcontracts in the hybrid contracts with applicable accounting standards. When the embeddedderivatives whose fair value cannot be measured reliably by the Group according to the terms andconditions of the embedded derivatives, the fair value of such derivatives are measured at thedifference between the fair value of the hybrid contracts and the fair value of the host contracts.

By adopting the above method, if the embedded derivative cannot be measured on a stand-alonebasis at the time when it is acquired or at subsequent balance sheet dates, the hybrid instrument isdesignated as financial instruments at fair value through profit or loss as a whole.

10.6 Offsetting financial assets and financial liabilities

Where the Group has a legal right that is currently enforceable to set off the recognized financialassets and financial liabilities, and intends either to settle on a net basis, or to realize the financialasset and settle the financial liability simultaneously, a financial asset and a financial liability shallbe offset and the net amount is presented in the balance sheet. Except for the abovecircumstances, financial assets and financial liabilities shall be presented separately in the balancesheet and shall not be offset.

10.7 Compound instruments

For convertible bonds issued by the Group that contain both liabilities and conversion option thatmay convert the liabilities to its own equity instrument, upon initial recognition, the bonds aresplitted into liabilities and conversion option which are separately recognized. Therein, theconversion option that exchanges a fixed amount of cash or other financial assets for a fixedamount of equity instruments is accounted for as an equity instrument.

Upon initial recognition, the fair value of liability portion is determined based on the prevailingmarket price of the bonds containing no conversion option. The overall issue price of theconvertible bonds net of the fair value of the liability portion is considered as the value of theconversion option that enables the bonds holder to convert the bonds to equity instruments, and isincluded in other equity instruments.

The liability portion of the convertible bonds is subsequently measured at amortized cost usingeffective interest method; the value of the conversion option classified as equity instrument isremained in equity instrument. The expiry or conversion of convertible bonds will not result inloss or gain.

10.7 Compound instruments - continued

The transaction costs incurred for issuance of the convertible bonds are allocated between theliability portion and equity instrument portion in proportion to their respective fair values. Thetransaction 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 theliability, and amortized over the lifetime of the convertible bonds using effective interest method.

10.8 Reclassification of financial instruments

When the Group changes the business model to manage the financial assets, the financial assetsaffected will be reclassified and no financial liabilities will be reclassified.

The financial assets are reclassified by the Group and are accounted for prospectively since thedate of reclassification (i.e. the first date of the initial reporting period after the business model ofwhich the financial assets are reclassified by the enterprise is changed).

Where a financial asset at amortized cost is reclassified as a financial asset at fair value throughprofit or loss ("FVTPL") by the Group, such financial asset is measured at fair value at the date ofreclassification and the difference between the original carrying amount and the fair value isrecognized in profit or loss for the period.

Where a financial asset at amortized cost is reclassified as a financial asset at fair value throughother comprehensive income ("FVTOCI") by the Group, such financial asset is measured at fairvalue at the date of reclassification, and the difference between the original carrying amount andthe fair value is recognized in other comprehensive income.

Where a financial asset at FVTOCI is reclassified as a financial asset at amortized cost by theGroup, the accumulated gains or losses previously recognized in other comprehensive income aretransferred out and the fair value at the date of reclassification is adjusted. The adjusted fair valueis determined as the new carrying amount, as if the financial asset has been always measured atamortized cost. The reclassification of the financial asset shall not affect its effective interest rateor 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 accumulatedgains or losses previously recognized in other comprehensive income are transferred to profit orloss for the period.

Where a financial asset at FVTPL is reclassified as a financial asset at amortized cost by theGroup, the fair value at the date of reclassification is determined as the new gross carryingamount.

11. Accounts receivable

The Group makes internal credit ratings on customers and determines expected loss rate of notesreceivable, accounts receivable, other receivables and long-term receivables. Basis fordetermining ratings and the expected loss rates are as follows:

Internal credit rating	Basis for determining portfolio	Expected average loss rate (%)
A	Customers can make repayments within credit term and have good credit records based on historical experience. The probability of default on payment of due amounts is extremely low in the foreseeable future.	0.00-0.10
B	The customers may have overdue payment based on historical experience but they can make repayments.	0.10-0.30
C	The evidence indicates that the overdue credit risks of the customers are significantly increased and there is probability of default on payment.	0.30-50.00
D	The evidence indicates that the accounts receivable are impaired or the customers have significant financial difficulty. The amounts cannot be recovered in the foreseeable future.	50.00-100.00

12. Receivables financing

Notes receivable classified as at FVTOCI should be listed as receivables financing within oneyear (including one year) from the date of acquisition. Those over one year should be listed asother debt investments. For related accounting policies, refer to Note (IV) 10.

13. Inventories

13.1 Category of inventories

The Group's inventories mainly include raw materials, merchandise and others. Inventories areinitially measured at cost. Cost of inventories comprises all costs of purchase, costs of conversionand other expenditures incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition.

13.2 Valuation method of inventories upon delivery

The actual cost of inventories upon delivery is calculated using the weighted average method andfirst-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. Ifthe cost of inventories is higher than the net realizable value, a provision for decline in value ofinventories is made.

Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less theestimated 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 intoconsideration the purposes of inventories being held and effect of post balance sheet events.

Provision for decline in value of inventories is made based on the excess of cost of inventory overits net realizable value on an item-by-item basis.

After the provision for decline in value of inventories is made, if the circumstances thatpreviously caused inventories to be written down below cost no longer exist so that the netrealizable value of inventories is higher than their cost, the original provision for decline in valueis reversed and the reversal is included in profit or loss for the period.

13.4 Inventory count system

The perpetual inventory system is maintained for stock system.

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

materials

Packaging materials and low cost and short-lived consumable items are amortized using theimmediate write-off method.

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 servicesthat the Group has transferred to a customer, and such right depends on factors other than thepassage of time. The Group's unconditional (i.e., depending on the passage of time only) right toreceive consideration from the customer is separately presented as receivables.

14.2 Determination and accounting treatment for expected credit loss ("ECL") of contract

assets

Refer to Note (IV) 10.2 "Impairment of financial instruments" for determination and accountingtreatment for expected credit loss of contract assets.

15. Assets held-for-sale

Non-current assets and disposal groups are classified as held-for-sale category when the Grouprecovers the carrying amount through a sale (including an exchange of nonmonetary assets thathas commercial substance) rather than continuing use.

Non-current assets or disposal groups classified as held-for-sale are required to satisfy thefollowing conditions: (1) the asset or disposal group is available for immediate sale in its presentcondition subject only to terms that are usual and customary for sales of such asset or disposalgroup; (2) the sale is highly probable, i.e. the Group has made a resolution about selling plan andobtained a confirmed purchase commitment and the sale is expected to be completed within oneyear.

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 awhole in the Company's separate financial statements, and all assets and liabilities of subsidiariesare classified as held-for-sale category in the consolidated financial statements regardless ofwhether 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 thelower of their carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell. Where the carrying amount ishigher than the net amount of fair value less costs to sell, carrying amount should be reduced tothe net amount of fair value less costs to sell, and such reduction is recognized in impairment lossof assets and included in profit or loss for the period. Meanwhile, provision for impairment ofheld-for-sale assets is made. When there is an increase in the net amount of fair value of non-current assets held-for-sale less costs to sell at the balance sheet date, the original deductionshould be reversed in impairment loss of assets recognized after the classification of held-for-salecategory, and the reversal amount is included in profit or loss for the period. The impairmentlosses recognized before such assets are classified as held-for-sale category shall not be reversed.

15. Assets held-for-sale - continued

Non-current assets classified as held-for-sale or non-current assets in disposal groups are notdepreciated or amortized, and interest and other costs of liabilities of disposal groups classified asheld-for-sale continue to be recognized.

All or part of equity investments in associates or joint ventures are classified as held-for-saleassets. For the part that is classified as held-for-sale, it is no longer accounted for using the equitymethod since the date of the classification.

If an asset or a disposal group has been classified as held-for-sale but the recognition criteria forheld-for-sale are no longer met, the Group shall cease to classify the asset or disposal group asheld-for-sale. It shall be measured at the lower of (1) the carrying amount before the asset ordisposal group was classified as held-for-sale, adjusted for any depreciation, amortization orimpairment that would have been recognized had the asset or disposal group not been classified asheld-for-sale; and (2) the recoverable amount at the date of the decision not to sell.

For equity investments in associates or joint ventures that are classified as held-for-sale but theclassification criteria for held-for-sale are no longer met, such investments are accounted forretrospectively using the equity method from the date when they are classified as held-for-sale.The financial statements for the period in which the held-for-sale assets are held are adjustedaccordingly.

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 variablereturns from its involvement with the investee; and has the ability to use its power to affect itsreturns. Joint control is the contractually agreed sharing of control over an economic activity, andexists only when the strategic financial and operating policy decisions relating to the activityrequire the unanimous consent of the parties sharing control. Significant influence is the power toparticipate in the financial and operating policy decisions of the investee but is not control or jointcontrol over those policies. When determining whether an investing enterprise is able to exercisecontrol or significant influence over an investee, the effect of potential voting rights of theinvestee (for example, warrants and convertible debts) held by the investing enterprises or otherparties that are currently exercisable or convertible shall be considered.

16.2 Determination of initial investment cost

For a long-term equity investment acquired through business combination involving enterprisesunder common control, share of carrying amount of owners' equity of the acquiree in theconsolidated financial statements of ultimate controlling party is recognized as initial investmentcost of long-term equity investment at the date of combination. The difference between initialinvestment cost of long-term equity investment and cash paid, non-cash assets transferred andcarrying amount of liabilities assumed, is adjusted in capital reserve. If the balance of capitalreserve is not sufficient to absorb the difference, any excess is adjusted to retained earnings. If theconsideration of the combination is satisfied by the issue of equity securities, the initialinvestment cost of the long-term equity investment is the share of carrying amount of owners'equity of the acquiree in the consolidated financial statements of ultimate controlling party at thedate of combination. The aggregate face value of the shares issued is accounted for as sharecapital. The difference between the initial investment cost and the aggregate face value of theshares issued is adjusted to capital reserve. If the balance of capital reserve is not sufficient toabsorb the difference, any excess is adjusted to retained earnings. Where equity interests in anacquiree are acquired in stages through multiple transactions ultimately constituting a businesscombination involving enterprises under common control, the acquirer shall determine if thesetransactions are considered to be a "package deal". If yes, these transactions are accounted for as asingle transaction where control is obtained. If no, the initial investment cost of the long-termequity investment is the share of carrying amount of owners' equity of the acquiree in theconsolidated financial statements of ultimate controlling party at the date of combination. Thedifference between the initial investment cost and the sum of carrying amount of equityinvestments previously held in the acquiree and the new investment cost is adjusted to capitalreserve. If the balance of capital reserve is not sufficient to absorb the difference, any excess isadjusted to retained earnings. Other comprehensive income recognized for the previously heldequity investments by accounting treatment of equity method or non-trading equity instrumentinvestments designated as at FVTOCI is not subject to accounting treatment temporarily.

For a long-term equity investment acquired through business combination not involvingenterprises under common control, the investment cost of the long-term equity investmentacquired is the cost of acquisition.

The expenses incurred by the acquirer in respect of auditing, legal services, valuation andconsultancy services and other associated administrative expenses attributable to the businesscombination are recognized in profit or loss when they are incurred.

16.2 Determination of initial investment cost - continued

The long-term equity investment acquired otherwise than through a business combination isinitially measured at its cost. When the entity is able to exercise significant influence or jointcontrol (but not control) over an investee due to additional investment, the cost of long-termequity investments is the sum of the fair value of previously-held equity investments determinedin accordance with Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises No.22 - Financial Instruments:

Recognition and Measurement (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 theCompany's separate financial statements. A subsidiary is an investee that is controlled by theGroup.

Under the cost method, a long-term equity investment is measured at initial investment cost. Whenadditional investment is made or the investment is recouped, the cost of the long-term equityinvestment is adjusted accordingly. Investment income is recognized in the period in accordancewith 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 classified as held-for-sale partly or wholly,the Group accounts for investment in associates and joint ventures using the equity method. Anassociate is an entity over which the Group has significant influence and a joint venture is a jointarrangement whereby the Group only has rights to the net assets of the arrangement.

Under the equity method, where the initial investment cost of a long-term equity investmentexceeds the Group's share of the fair value of the investee's identifiable net assets at the time ofacquisition, no adjustment is made to the initial investment cost. Where the initial investment costis less than the Group's share of the fair value of the investee's identifiable net assets at the time ofacquisition, the difference is recognized in profit or loss for the period, and the cost of the long-term equity investment is adjusted accordingly.

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

Under the equity method, the Group recognizes its share of the net profit or loss and othercomprehensive income of the investee for the period as investment income and othercomprehensive income for the period. Meanwhile, the carrying amount of long-term equityinvestment is adjusted; the carrying amount of long-term equity investment is decreased inaccordance with its share of the investee’s declared profit or cash dividends; other changes inowners’ equity of the investee other than net profit or loss and other comprehensive income arecorrespondingly adjusted to the carrying amount of the long-term equity investment, andrecognized in capital reserve. The Group recognizes its share of the investee’s net profit or lossbased on the fair value of the investee’s individual identifiable assets, etc. at the acquisition dateafter making appropriate adjustments. When the investee’s accounting policies and accountingperiod are inconsistent with those of the Group, the Group recognizes investment income andother comprehensive income after making appropriate adjustments to conform to the Group'saccounting policies and accounting period. However, unrealized gains or losses resulting from theGroup’s transactions with its associates and joint ventures, which do not constitute a business, areeliminated based on the proportion attributable to the Group and then investment gains or lossesare recognized. However, unrealized losses resulting from the Group's transactions with itsassociates and joint ventures which represent impairment losses on the transferred assets are noteliminated.

The Group discontinues recognizing its share of net losses of the investee after the carryingamount of the long-term equity investment together with any long-term interests that in substanceform part of its net investment in the investee are reduced to zero. In addition, if the Group hasincurred obligations to assume additional losses, a provision is recognized according to theobligation expected, and recorded in the investment loss for the period. Where net profits aresubsequently made by the investee, the Group resumes recognizing its share of those profits onlyafter its share of the profits exceeds the share of losses previously not recognized.

16.4 Disposal of long-term equity investments

On disposal of a long-term equity investment, the difference between the proceeds actuallyreceived and receivable and the carrying amount is recognized in profit or loss for the period.

16.4 Disposal of long-term equity investments - continued

For long-term equity investments accounted for using the equity method, if the remaining interestafter disposal is still accounted for using the equity method, other comprehensive incomepreviously recognized using the equity method is accounted for on the same basis as would havebeen required if the investee had directly disposed of related assets or liabilities, and transferred toprofit or loss for the period on a pro rata basis; owners' equity recognized due to other changes inowners' equity of the investee (other than net profit or loss, other comprehensive income andprofit distribution) is transferred to profit or loss for the period on a pro rata basis. For long-termequity investments accounted for using the cost method, if the remaining interest after disposal isstill accounted for using the cost method, other comprehensive income previously recognizedusing the equity method or in accordance with the standards for the recognition and measurementof financial instruments before obtaining the control over the investee, is accounted for on thesame basis as would have been required if the investee had directly disposed of related assets orliabilities, and transferred to profit or loss for the period on a pro rata basis; other changes inowners' equity in the investee's net assets recognized under the equity method (other than netprofit or loss, other comprehensive income and profit distribution) is transferred to profit or lossfor the period on a pro rata basis.

Where the Group loses control over the investee due to disposal of part of shares, and in preparingthe separate financial statements, remaining shares after disposal can have joint control orsignificant influence over the investee, the equity method shall be adopted to adjust the remainingshares as they are accounted for under equity method since the acquisition date. If remainingshares after disposal cannot have joint control or significant influence over the investee, they areaccounted for in accordance with the standards for recognition and measurement of financialinstruments, and the difference between fair value on date of losing control and carrying amountis recognized in profit or loss for the period. Other comprehensive income recognized using theequity method or in accordance with the standards for the recognition and measurement offinancial instruments before losing control over the investee, is accounted for on the same basis aswould have been required if the investee had directly disposed of related assets or liabilities whenthe control over the investee is lost; other changes in owners' equity in the investee's net assetsrecognized under the equity method (other than net profit or loss, other comprehensive incomeand profit distribution) is transferred to profit or loss for the period on a pro rata basis. Whereremaining shares after disposal are accounted for under equity method, other comprehensiveincome and other owners' equity are transferred on a pro rata basis. Where remaining shares afterdisposal are accounted for in accordance with the standards for recognition and measurement offinancial instruments, other comprehensive income and other owners' equity are all transferred.

Other comprehensive income previously recognized under the equity method,is accounted for on the same basis as would have been required if the investee had directlydisposed of related assets or liabilities when the equity method is not adopted, and other changesin owners' equity other than net profit or loss, other comprehensive income and profit distributionare transferred to investment income for the period when the equity method is not adopted.

The Group disposes of its equity investment in subsidiaries through multiple transactions step bystep until it loses control over the subsidiaries. If these transactions belong to "package deal", alltransactions are deemed as one transaction on disposal of equity investment in subsidiaries, andthe difference between the amount of disposal and carrying amount of long-term equityinvestment is recognized as other comprehensive income, and transferred to profit or loss for theperiod when the control is lost.

17. Investment properties

Investment property is the property held by the Group to earn rentals or for capital appreciation orboth. 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 suchinvestment property are included in the cost of the investment property if it is probable thateconomic benefits associated with the investment property will flow to the Group and thesubsequent expenditures can be measured reliably. Other subsequent expenditures are recognizedin 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 adepreciation or amortization policy for the investment property which is consistent with that forbuildings or land use rights.

An investment property is derecognized upon disposal or when the investment property ispermanently 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 theamount of any proceeds on disposal net of the carrying amount and related taxes in profit or lossfor the period.

18. Fixed assets and depreciation

Fixed assets are tangible assets that are held for use in the production or supply of goods orservices, for rental to others, or for administrative purposes, and have useful lives of more thanone accounting year. A fixed asset is recognized only when it is probable that economic benefitsassociated with the asset will flow to the Group and the cost of the asset can be measured reliably.Fixed assets are initially measured at cost. Upon being restructured into a stock company, thefixed assets initially contributed by the state-owned shareholders are recognized based on thevaluation 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 itis probable that economic benefits associated with the asset will flow to the Group and thesubsequent expenditures can be measured reliably. Meanwhile the carrying amount of thereplaced part is derecognized. Other subsequent expenditures are recognized in profit or loss forthe period in which they are incurred.

A fixed asset is depreciated over its useful life using the straight-line method starting from themonth subsequent to the one in which it is ready for intended use. The useful life, estimated netresidual value rate and annual depreciation rate of each category of fixed assets are as follows:

Category	Useful life	Estimated net residual value rate (%)	Annual depreciation rate (%)
Port and terminal facilities	5-50 years	5.00	1.90-19.00
Buildings and structures	5-50 years	5.00	1.90-19.00
Machinery and equipment, furniture and fixture and other equipment	3-20 years	5.00	4.75-31.67
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 wouldcurrently obtain from disposal of the asset, after deducting the estimated costs of disposal, if theasset 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 fromits use or disposal, the fixed asset is derecognized. When a fixed asset is sold, transferred, retiredor damaged, the amount of any proceeds on disposal of the asset net of the carrying amount andrelated 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 thedepreciation method applied at least once at each financial year-end, and accounts for any changeas a change in accounting estimates.

19. Construction in progress

Construction in progress is measured at its actual costs. The actual costs include variousconstruction expenditures during the construction period, borrowing costs capitalized before it isready 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.

20. Borrowing costs

Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of qualifyingasset are capitalized when expenditures for such asset and borrowing costs are incurred andactivities relating to the acquisition, construction or production of the asset that are necessary toprepare the asset for its intended use or sale have commenced. Capitalization of borrowing costsceases when the qualifying asset being acquired, constructed or produced becomes ready for itsintended use or sale. Capitalization of borrowing costs is suspended during periods in which theacquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset is interrupted abnormally and whenthe interruption is for a continuous period of more than 3 months. Capitalization is suspendeduntil the acquisition, construction or production of the asset is resumed. Other borrowing costs arerecognized 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 becapitalized is the actual interest expense incurred on that borrowing for the period less any bankinterest earned from depositing the borrowed funds before being used on the asset or anyinvestment income on the temporary investment of those funds. Where funds are borrowed undergeneral-purpose borrowings, the Group determines the amount of interest to be capitalized onsuch borrowings by applying a capitalization rate to the weighted average of the excess ofcumulative expenditures on the asset over the amounts of specific-purpose borrowings. Thecapitalization rate is the weighted average of the interest rates applicable to the general-purposeborrowings. During the capitalization period, exchange differences related to a specific-purposeborrowing denominated in foreign currency are all capitalized. Exchange differences inconnection with general-purpose borrowings are recognized in profit or loss for the period inwhich 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. Upon being restructured into a stock company,the intangible assets initially contributed by the state-owned shareholders are recognized based onthe valuation amounts confirmed by the state-owned assets administration department. Except forterminal operating rights, when an intangible asset with a finite useful life is available for use, itsoriginal cost is amortized over its estimated useful life. The terminal operating rights under theoutput method are amortized over periods according to the ratio of the estimated minimumguaranteed throughput to the estimated minimum guaranteed total throughput during the operationperiod. When the estimated minimum guaranteed throughput cannot be measured reliably, thestraight-line method will be used for amortization. An intangible asset with indefinite useful lifewill not be amortized.

The amortization method, useful life and estimated net residual value of various intangible assetsare as follows:

Category	Amortization method	Useful life (year)	Residual value (%)
Land use rights	Straight-line method	40-50	-
Terminal operating right	Output/Straight-line method	30-50	-
Others	Straight-line method	5-50	-

For an intangible asset with a finite useful life, the Group reviews the useful life and amortizationmethod at the end of the year, and makes adjustments when necessary.

21.2 Research and development expenditure

Expenditure during the research phase is recognized in profit or loss for the period in which it isincurred.

Expenditure during the development phase that meets all of the following conditions at the sametime is recognized as intangible asset. Expenditure during development phase that does not meetthe 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 theintangible asset or the intangible asset itself or, if it is to be used internally, the usefulnessof the intangible asset.

(4) the availability of adequate technical, financial and other resources to complete the

development and the ability to use or sell the intangible asset.

(5) the expenditure attributable to the intangible asset during its development phase can be

reliably measured.

If the expenditures cannot be distinguished between the research phase and development phase,the Group recognizes all of them in profit or loss for the year. The costs of intangible assetsgenerated by the internal research only include the total expenditure incurred for the period fromthe time point of capitalization to the time point when the intangible assets are ready for intendeduse. For the identical intangible asset, the expenditures recorded as expenses before they qualifyfor capitalization during the development process are not adjusted.

22. Impairment of non-financial assets other than goodwill

The Group assesses at the balance sheet date whether there is any indication that long-term equityinvestments, investment properties measured at cost method, fixed assets, construction inprogress, right-of-use assets, intangible assets with a finite useful life and assets related to contractcosts may be impaired. If there is any indication that such assets may be impaired, recoverableamounts are estimated for such assets. Intangible assets with indefinite useful life and intangibleassets not yet available for use are tested for impairment annually, irrespective of whether there isany indication that the assets may be impaired.

Recoverable amount is estimated on an individual basis. If it is not practical to estimate therecoverable amount of an individual asset, the recoverable amount of the asset group to which theasset belongs will be estimated. The recoverable amount of an asset is the higher of its fair valueless costs of disposal and the present value of the future cash flows expected to be derived fromthe asset.

If the recoverable amount of an asset or an asset group is less than its carrying amount, the deficitis accounted for as an impairment loss and is recognized in profit or loss.

Once the impairment loss of above-mentioned assets is recognized, it shall not be reversed in anysubsequent period.

23. Long-term prepaid expenses

Long-term prepaid expenses represent expenses incurred that should be borne and amortized overthe current and subsequent periods (together of more than one year). Long-term prepaid expensesare amortized using the straight-line method over the expected periods in which benefits arederived.

24. Contract liabilities

Contract liabilities refer to the Group's obligation to transfer goods or services to a customer forconsideration received or receivable from the customer. The contract assets and contract liabilitiesunder 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 servicesrendered by employees or for the termination of employment. Employee benefits include short-term benefits, post-employment benefits, termination benefits and other long-term employeebenefits.

25.1 Short-term employee benefits

Short-term benefits refer to the employee benefits that the Group is required to make fullpayments within 12 months after the annual reporting period during which relevant services areprovided by the employees, except the post-employment benefits and termination benefits.Specifically, the short-term benefits include: employee salaries, bonuses, allowances andsubsidies, employee benefits, social insurance contributions such as the medical insurance and thework injury insurance, housing funds, trade union funds and employee education funds, short-term paid absence, short-term profit sharing plan, non-monetary welfare and other short-termbenefits.

Short-term employee benefits payable are recognized as liabilities, with a corresponding charge toprofit or loss for the period or in the costs of relevant assets in the accounting period in whichemployees provide services to the Group. Staff welfare expenses incurred by the Group arerecognized in profit or loss for the period or the costs of relevant assets based on the actuallyoccurred amounts when they actually occurred. Non-monetary staff welfare expenses aremeasured at fair value.

Payment made by the Group of social security contributions for employees such as premiums orcontributions on medical insurance, work injury insurance and maternity insurance, etc. andpayments of housing funds, as well as union running costs and employee education costs providedin accordance with relevant requirements, are calculated according to prescribed bases andpercentages in determining the amount of employee benefits and recognized as relevant liabilities,with a corresponding charge to profit or loss for the period or the costs of relevant assets in theaccounting period in which employees provide services.

25.2 Post-employment benefits

Post-employment benefits refer to the rewards and benefits of various forms provided by theGroup after the employees have retired or terminated the labor relationship with the enterprise forthe services rendered by the employees, except the short-term benefits and the terminationbenefits. The post-employment benefits consist of the pension insurance, the annuity, theunemployment insurance and other post-employment benefits.

Post-employment benefit plans are classified by the Group into defined contribution plans anddefined benefit plans. The post-employment benefit plan refers to the agreements the Groupentered into with the employees on the post-employment benefits or the regulations or measuresestablished by the Group for provisions of the post-employee benefits, among which the definedcontribution plans refer to the post-employment benefit plan under which the Group shall nolonger 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 definedcontribution plans. During the accounting period in which employees render services to theGroup, the amounts payable calculated based on the defined contribution plans are recognized asliabilities and included in profit or loss for the period or costs of related assets.

For defined benefit plans, the Group attributes the welfare obligations arising from the definedbenefit plans to the period in which employees provide services to the Group according to theformula determined based on the projected cumulative benefit unit method, and includes them inprofit or loss for the period or costs of related assets. Defined benefit costs are categorized asfollows:

? Service cost (including current service cost, past service cost, as well as gains and losses on

settlements);? Net interest of net liabilities or assets of defined benefit plans (including interest income of

planned assets, interest expenses of defined benefit plan liabilities and effect of asset

ceiling); and? Changes arising from remeasurement of net liabilities or net assets of defined benefit plans.

Service costs and net interest of net liabilities and net assets of defined benefit plans arerecognized in profit or loss for the period or costs of related assets. Remeasurement of the netdefined benefit liabilities (assets) (including actuarial gains and losses, the return on plannedassets, excluding amounts included in net interest on net defined benefit liabilities (assets), andany changes in the effect of the asset ceiling, excluding amounts included in net interest on netdefined benefit liabilities (assets)) are recognized in other comprehensive income.

The deficit or surplus resulting from the present value of the defined benefit plan obligations lessthe fair value of the defined benefit plan assets is recognized as a net defined benefit plan liabilityor net asset.

25.3 Termination benefits

Termination benefits refer to the compensations the Group pay to the employees for terminatingthe employment relationship with employees before the expiry of the employment contracts orencouraging employees to accept voluntary redundancy. When the Group provides terminationbenefits to employees, employee benefit liabilities are recognized for termination benefits, with acorresponding charge to profit or loss for the period at the earlier of: (1) when the Group cannotunilaterally withdraw the offer of termination benefits because of the termination plan or acurtailment proposal; and (2) when the Group recognizes costs or expenses related to restructuringthat 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.

Other long-term employee benefits that qualify as defined contribution plans are treated inaccordance with the relevant provisions of the defined contribution plans mentioned above, exceptthat the net liability or net asset for other long-term employee benefits is recognized and measuredin accordance with the relevant provisions of the defined benefit plans. At the end of the reportingperiod, employee compensation costs arising from other long-term employee benefits arerecognized as three components: service cost, net interest on net liability or net asset for otherlong-term employee benefits, and changes resulting from the remeasurement of the net liability ornet asset for other long-term employee benefits. The total net amount of these items is included inprofit or loss for the period or in the costs of related assets.

The Group provides internal retirement benefits to employees accepting the internal retirementarrangements. Internal retirement benefits refer to the payments of salaries and social securitycontributions for employees who reach the retirement age regulated by the country and areapproved to quit the job voluntarily. For internal retirement benefits, the internal retirementbenefits the Group is expected to pay during the period from the date when employees stopproviding services to the date of normal retirement are recognized as liabilities at the presentvalue and included in profit or loss for the period when relevant recognition requirements of theinternal retirement benefits are met.

26. Provisions

Provisions are recognized when the Group has a present obligation related to a contingency, it isprobable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation, and theamount of the obligation can be measured reliably.

26. Provisions - continued

The amount recognized as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to settlethe present obligation at the balance sheet date, taking into account factors pertaining to acontingency such as the risks, uncertainties and time value of money. Where the effect of the timevalue of money is material, the amount of the provision is determined by discounting the relatedfuture cash outflows.

Where all or some of the expenditure required to settle a provision is expected to be reimbursedby a third party, the reimbursement is recognized as a separate asset only when it is virtuallycertain that reimbursement will be received, and the amount of reimbursement recognized doesnot exceed the carrying amount of the provision.

27. Revenue recognition

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

(1) Port service;

(2) Bonded logistics service;

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

The Group recognizes revenue based on the transaction price allocated to the performanceobligation when the Group satisfies a performance obligation in the contract, namely, when thecustomer obtains control over relevant goods or services. A performance obligation is acommitment that the Group transfers a distinct goods or service to a customer in the contract. Thetransaction price is the amount of consideration to which the Group expects to be entitled inexchange for transferring promised goods or services to a customer, excluding amounts collectedon behalf of third parties and amounts expected to be refunded to a customer.

It is a performance obligation satisfied during a period of time and the Group recognizes revenueduring a period of time according to the progress of performance if one of the followingconditions is met: (i) the customer obtains and consumes economic benefits at the same time ofthe Group's performance; (ii) the customer is able to control goods or services in progress duringthe Group's performance; (iii) goods or services generated during the Group's performance haveirreplaceable utilization, and the Group is entitled to collect amounts of cumulative performancepart which have been done up to now. Otherwise, revenue is recognized at a point in time whenthe customer obtains control over the relevant goods or services.

The Group adopts output method, i.e. the value of goods or services transferred to customers todetermine the appropriate progress of performance. Where the progress cannot be determinedreasonably, the revenue is recognized based on the amount of cost that is expected to becompensated based on the cost already incurred, until the progress of performance is reasonablydetermined.

27. Revenue recognition - continued

Contract assets refer to the Group's right to consideration in exchange for goods or services thatthe Group has transferred to a customer when that right is conditioned on something other thanthe passage of time. For the details of accounting policies on impairment of contract assets, pleasesee Note (IV) 10. The Group's unconditional (i.e., depending on the passage of time only) right toreceive consideration from the customer is separately presented as receivables.

Contract liabilities refer to the Group's obligation to transfer goods or services to a customer forconsideration received or receivable from the customer.

Contract assets and contract liabilities under the same contract will be presented on a net basis.

If there are two or more of performance obligations included in the contract, at the inception ofthe contract, the Group allocates the transaction price to each single performance obligation basedon the proportion of stand-alone selling price of goods or services promised in each stand-aloneperformance obligation. However, if there is conclusive evidence indicating that the contractdiscount or variable consideration is only relative with one or more (not the whole) performanceobligations in the contract, the Group will allocate the contract discount or variable considerationto relative one or more performance obligations. Stand-alone selling price refers to the price of asingle sale of goods or services. If the stand-alone selling price cannot be observed directly, theGroup estimates the stand-alone selling price through comprehensive consideration of all relativeinformation that can be reasonably acquired and maximum use of observable inputs.

In case of the existence of variable consideration (such as sales discount) in the contract, theGroup shall determine the best estimate of variable consideration based on the expected value orthe most probably occurred amount. The transaction price including variable consideration shallnot exceed the amount of the cumulatively recognized revenue which is unlikely to besignificantly reversed when relevant uncertainty is eliminated. At each balance sheet date, theGroup re-estimates the amount of variable consideration which should be included in transactionprice.

If the customer pays non-cash consideration, the Group determines the transaction price based onthe fair value of the non-cash consideration. If the fair value of non-cash consideration cannot bereasonably estimated, the Group shall determine the transaction price indirectly by reference tothe stand-alone selling price of the goods or services promised to transfer to the customer.

In case of the existence of a significant financing component in the contract, the Group shalldetermine the transaction price on the assumption that the customer has paid the amount payableby cash when obtaining the control over the goods or services. Differences between transactionprice and contract consideration are amortized using effective interest method during the contractlife. At the inception of the contract, if the period between when the Group transfers a promisedgoods or service to a customer and when the customer pays for that goods or service will be oneyear or less, the Group would not consider the significant component in the contract.

The Group assesses whether it controls each specified goods or service before that goods orservice is transferred to the customer to determine whether the Group is a principal or an agent. Ifthe Group controls the specified good or service before that good or service is transferred to acustomer, the Group is a principal and recognizes revenue in the gross amount of considerationreceived or receivable. Otherwise, the Group is an agent and recognizes revenue in the amount ofany fee or commission to which it expects to be entitled. The fee or commission is the net amountof consideration that the Group retains after paying the other party the consideration received inexchange for the goods or services to be provided by that party, or is determined in accordancewith the established commission amount or percentage, etc.

Where the Group receives receipts in advance from a customer for sales of goods or rendering ofservices, the amount is first recognized as a liability and then transferred to revenue when therelated performance obligation has been satisfied. When the Group's receipts in advance are notrequired to be refunded and it is probable that the customer will waive all or part of its contractualrights, the Group recognizes the said amounts as revenue on a pro-rata basis in accordance withthe pattern of exercise of the customer's contractual rights, if the Group expects to be entitled tothe amounts relating to the contractual rights waived by the customer; otherwise, the Groupreverses the related balance of the said liabilities to revenue only when it is highly unlikely thatthe customer will require performance of the remaining performance obligations.

28. Contract costs

28.1 Costs of obtaining a contract

For the incremental cost of obtaining the contract (cost that will not occur if the contract is notobtained) that is expected to be recoverable, it is recognized as an asset. If the amortization periodof 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 whenincurred, 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 any standards other thanRevenue Standards, the Group recognizes an asset only if those costs meet all of the followingcriteria: (1) the costs relate directly to a contract or to an anticipated contract that the Group canspecifically identify; (2) the costs enhance resources of the Group that will be used in satisfyingperformance obligations in the future; and (3) the costs are expected to be recovered. The assetmentioned above shall be amortized on a basis that is consistent with the revenue recognition ofthe 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 determinesthe impairment losses of other assets related to contracts recognized in accordance with otherASBE; then, for assets related to contract costs, if the carrying amount of the assets is higher thanthe difference between: (1) the remaining consideration that the Group expects to obtain for thetransfer of the goods or services related to the assets; and (2) the estimated costs to be incurred forthe transfer of the related goods or services, any excess is provided for impairment and recognizedas impairment loss of assets.

After the provision for impairment of assets related to contract costs is made, if the factors ofimpairment in previous periods change so that the difference between the above two is higher thanthe carrying amount of the assets, the original provision for impairment of the assets is reversedand recognized in profit or loss for the period, provided that the carrying amount of the assetsafter the reversal does not exceed the carrying amount of the assets at the date of reversalassuming no provision for impairment was made.

29. Government grants

Government grants are transfer of monetary assets or non-monetary assets from the government tothe Group at no consideration. A government grant is recognized only when the Group cancomply with the conditions attached to the grant and the Group will receive the grant.

If a government grant is in the form of a transfer of a monetary asset, it is measured at the amountreceived or receivable. If a government grant is in the form of a non-monetary asset, it ismeasured at fair value. If the fair value cannot be reliably determined, it is measured at a nominalamount. A government grant measured at a nominal amount is recognized immediately in profitor loss for the period.

A government grant related to an asset is recognized as deferred income, and evenly amortized toprofit or loss over the useful life of the related asset. A government grant measured at a nominalamount is recognized immediately in profit or loss in the current period. Where the relevant assetis sold, transferred, retired or damaged prior to the end of its useful life, the related undistributeddeferred income is transferred to profit or loss of the disposal period.

For government grants both related to asset and income, different parts are distinguished foraccounting treatment; if it is difficult to distinguish, they should be classified as governmentgrants related to income as a whole.

A government grant related to the Group's daily activities is recognized in other income based onthe nature of economic activities; a government grant not related to the Group's daily activities isrecognized 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 periodsare measured at the amount expected to be paid (or recovered) according to the requirements oftax laws.

30.2 Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities

For temporary differences between the carrying amounts of certain assets or liabilities and theirtax base, or between the nil carrying amount of those items that are not recognized as assets orliabilities and their tax base that can be determined according to tax laws, deferred tax assets andliabilities are recognized using the balance sheet liability method.

Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognized for all taxable temporary differences. Deferredtax assets for deductible temporary differences are recognized to the extent that it is probable thattaxable profits will be available against which the deductible temporary differences can beutilized. However, for temporary differences associated with the initial recognition of goodwilland the initial recognition of an asset or liability arising from a transaction, which is not abusiness combination that affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profits (or deductiblelosses) 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 arerecognized to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available againstwhich the deductible losses and tax credits can be utilized.

30.2 Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities - continued

Deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences associated withinvestments in subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures, except where the Group is able tocontrol the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences and it is probable that thetemporary differences will not be reversed in the foreseeable future. Deferred tax assets arisingfrom deductible temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates andjoint ventures are recognized to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will beavailable against which the deductible temporary differences can be utilized and they are expectedto be reversed in the foreseeable future.

At the balance sheet date, deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax ratesapplicable in the period in which the asset is realized or the liability is settled according to taxlaws.

Current and deferred tax expenses or income are recognized in profit or loss for the period, exceptwhen they arise from transactions or events that are directly recognized in other comprehensiveincome or shareholders' equity, in which case they are recognized in other comprehensive incomeor shareholders' equity, and when they arise from business combinations, in which case theyadjust the carrying amount of goodwill.

At the balance sheet date, the carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed and reduced if itis no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available in the future to allow thebenefit of deferred tax assets to be utilized. Any such reduction in amount is reversed when itbecomes 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 basisor to realize the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously, current tax assets and current taxliabilities are offset and presented on a net basis.

When the Group has a legal right to settle current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis, anddeferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same taxationauthority on either the same taxable entity or different taxable entities which intend either to settlecurrent tax assets and liabilities on a net basis or to realize the assets and liabilitiessimultaneously, in each future period in which significant amounts of deferred tax assets orliabilities are expected to be reversed, deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset andpresented on a net basis.

31. Leases

A lease is a contract in which the lessor, for a certain period of time, gives the lessee the right touse the assets to obtain a consideration.

For contracts entered into, the Group assesses whether the contract is, or contains, a lease at thecommencement date. Such contract will not be reassessed unless the terms and conditions of thecontract are subsequently changed.

31.1 The Group as lessee

31.1.1 Separating components of a lease

For a contract that contains one or more lease components or non-lease components, the Groupseparates each individual lease and non-lease component and allocates the contract considerationin the relative proportion of the sum of the individual price of each lease component and theindividual price of the non-lease component.

31.1.2 Right-of-use assets

Except for short-term leases and leases of low-value assets, the Group recognizes the right-of-useassets of the leases at the commencement date. The commencement date of the lease is the datefrom which the lessor provides the leased assets to make them available for use by the Group.Right-of-use assets are initially measured at cost. The cost includes:

? the amount of the initial measurement of the lease liabilities.? any lease payments made at or before the commencement date, less any lease incentives.? any initial direct costs incurred by the Group.? an estimate of costs to be incurred by the Group in dismantling and removing the underlying

asset, restoring the site on which it is located or restoring the underlying asset to thecondition required by the terms and conditions of the lease.

Right-of-use assets are depreciated by the Group in accordance with the ASBE No.4 FixedAssets. If the Group is reasonably certain, that the lease will transfer ownership of the underlyingasset to the Group by the end of the lease term, the right-of-use assets are depreciated from thecommencement date to the end of the useful life of the underlying asset. Otherwise, the right-of-use assets are depreciated from the commencement date to the earlier of the end of the useful lifeof the right-of-use assets or the end of the lease term.

The Group applies ASBE No. 8 Impairment of Assets, to determine whether the right-of-useassets are impaired and to account for any impairment loss identified.

31.1.3 Lease liabilities

Except for short-term leases and leases of low-value assets, the Group initially measures leaseliabilities at the present value of the outstanding lease payments at the commencement date. Incalculating the present value of the lease payments, the Group uses the implicit interest rate of thelease as the discount rate. If it is not possible to determine the implicit interest rate of the lease,the incremental borrowing rate shall be applied.

The lease payments comprise the following payments by the Group for the right to use theunderlying 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 thatoption.? payments for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects the Group exercising an optionto 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 indexor rate as at the commencement date. Variable lease payments not included in the measurement ofthe lease liabilities, are recognized in profit or loss, or in the cost of relevant assets, in the periodof those payments.

After the commencement date, interest expenses on the lease liabilities in each period during thelease term is calculated by a constant periodic rate of interest, and included in profit or loss orcharged to cost of related assets.

After the commencement date, the Group shall remeasure the lease liabilities and makecorresponding adjustments to the related right-of-use assets in the following circumstances. If thecarrying amount of the right-of-use assets is reduced to zero and there is a further reduction in themeasurement of the lease liabilities, the Group shall recognize the difference in profit or loss:

? where there is a change in the lease term, or in the assessment of an option to purchase theunderlying asset, the Group remeasures the lease liabilities, on the basis of the revised leaseterm and the revised discount rate;? where there is a change in the amounts expected to be payable under a residual valueguarantee, or in future lease payments resulting from a change in an index or a rate used todetermine those payments, the Group remeasures the lease liabilities, on the basis of therevised lease payments and the unchanged discount rate, unless the change in the leasepayments results from a change in floating interest rates, in which case a revised discountrate is applied to calculate the present value.

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

The Group elects not to recognize right-of-use assets or lease liabilities for short-term leases andleases of low-value assets, i.e. port and terminal facilities, buildings, machinery and equipment,furniture, fixture and other equipment, motor vehicles and cargo ships and others. A short-termlease is a lease that, at the commencement date, has a lease term of 12 months or less and does notcontain a call option. A lease of low-value assets is a lease that, the value of the underlying assetis less than RMB50,000 when it is new. For short-term leases and leases of low-value assets, theGroup recognizes the lease payments in profit or loss, or in the cost of related assets on a straight-line basis over each period within the lease term.

31.1.5 Lease modifications

A lease modification should be accounted for as a separate lease if both of the following apply:

? the modification increases the scope of the lease by adding the right to use one or moreunderlying assets.? the consideration for the lease increases by an amount commensurate with the stand-aloneprice for the increase in scope and any appropriate adjustments to that stand-alone priceaccording 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 thelease modification, the Group should allocate the consideration in the modified contract,determine the lease term of the modified lease and remeasure the lease liabilities based on thepresent value of the changed lease payments and the revised discount rate.

For lease modifications that decrease the scope of the lease or shorten the term of the lease, theGroup should decrease the carrying amount of the right-of-use assets with any gain or lossrelating to the partial or full termination of the lease recognized in profit or loss. For re-measurement of lease liabilities due to other lease modifications, a corresponding adjustment ismade to the carrying amount of the right-of-use assets.

31.2 The Group as lessor

31.2.1 Separating components of a lease

For a contract that contains lease components and non-lease components, the Group allocates thecontract consideration in accordance with the Revenue Standards on allocation of transactionprices, based on the respective individual prices of the lease components and the non-leasecomponents.

31.2.2 Classification of leases

Leases are classified as finance leases whenever the terms of the lease transfer substantially all therisks and rewards of ownership. All other leases are classified as operating leases.

31.2.2.1 The Group as lessor under operating leases

The Group recognizes lease receipts from operating leases as rental income using a straight-linemethod over the respective periods of the lease term. The Group's initial direct costs incurred inconnection with operating leases are capitalized when the costs incurred, and are allocated toprofit or loss for the period over the lease term on the same basis as the recognition of rentalincome.

Variable lease receipts acquired by the Group in connection with operating leases that are notincluded in the lease receipts are recognized in profit or loss for the period when they are actuallyincurred.

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 equalto the net lease investment with assets under finance lease derecognized. The net lease investmentis the sum of any unguaranteed residual value and the present value of the lease receipts over thelease term discounted at the interest rate implicit in lease.

The lease receivable comprises the following payments collected by the Group from the lessee forthe transfer of the right to use the underlying assets during the lease term:

? fixed payments (including in-substance fixed payments) paid by the lessee, less any leaseincentives.? 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 thelessee will exercise the option.? payments for terminating the lease, provided that the lease term reflects that the lessee will

exercise the option to terminate the lease;? residual value of guarantee provided to the Group by the lessee, a party related to the lessee

and an independent third party with the financial ability to fulfil the guarantee obligations.

Variable lease receipts not included in the net lease investment are recognized in profit or losswhen they are actually incurred.

Interest income for each period over the lease term is calculated and recognized by the Group at afixed periodic rate.

31.2.3 Subleases

As the lessor of a sublease, the Group accounts for the original lease contract and the subleasecontract on a separate basis. The Group classifies the subleases based on the right-of-use assetsgenerating 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 dateof the modification, considering any lease advances or receivables relating to the original lease asthe lease receipts for the new lease.

A lease modification should be accounted for as a separate lease if there is a modification in afinance lease and both of the followings apply:

? the modification increases the scope of the lease by adding the right to use one or more

underlying assets; and? the consideration for the lease increases by an amount commensurate with the stand-alone

price for the increase in scope with any appropriate adjustment to that stand-alone price.

For a modification to a finance lease that is not accounted for as a separate lease, the Groupaccounts for the modification as follows:

? If the lease would have been classified as an operating lease had the modification been

effective at the commencement date, the Group should account for the lease modification as

a new lease from the effective date of the modification, and measure the carrying amount of

the underlying assets at the amount equal to the net lease investment before the effective

date of the modification;? If the lease would have been classified as a finance lease had the modification been effective

at the commencement date, the Group should account for it in accordance with the

provisions on contract modification and renegotiation under Accounting Standards for

Business Enterprises No. 22 - Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement.

If the transfer of an asset constitutes a sale, the Group measuresthe right-of-use assets arising from the leaseback transaction at the proportion of the originalcarrying amount of the asset that relates to the use right obtained from leaseback, and recognizesany gain or loss only on the basis of the rights transferred to the lessor.

31.3.2 The Group as the buyer-lessor

32. Exchange of non-monetary assets

When the non-monetary assets are of commercial substance and the fair value of assets receivedor the assets given up can be measured reliably, the non-monetary transactions are measured atfair value. For the asset received, the fair value of the asset given up and related taxes payable arerecognized as the cost at initial recognition; For the asset given up, at derecognition, thedifference between the fair value and the carrying amount is recognized in profit or loss for thecurrent period. When there is clear evidence indicating that the fair value of the received asset ismore reliable, for the asset received, the fair value of the asset received and related taxes payableare recognized as the cost at initial recognition; For the asset given up, at derecognition, thedifference between the fair value of the asset received and the carrying amount of the asset givenup is recognized in profit or loss for the current period.

When the non-monetary transactions fail to meet criteria to be measured at fair value, thetransactions are measured at carrying amounts. For the asset received, the carrying amount of theasset given up and relevant taxes payable are recognized as the cost of at initial recognition. Forthe asset given up, at derecognition, no profit or loss is recognized.

(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), theGroup is required to make judgments, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amounts ofitems in the financial statements that cannot be measured accurately, due to the internaluncertainty of the operating activities. These judgments, estimates and assumptions are based onhistorical experience of the Group's management as well as other factors that are considered to berelevant. 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 thecurrent period; changes which not only affect the current but the future periods should berecognized in the current and future periods. At the balance sheet date, key assumptions anduncertainties in critical judgments and accounting estimates that are likely to lead to significantadjustments to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the future are as follows:

Goodwill impairment

For the purpose of impairment testing, the present value of the expected future cash flows of theassets group or portfolio including goodwill shall be calculated, and such expected future cashflows shall be estimated. Meantime, a pre-tax rate shall be determined that should reflect the timevalue 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 profitdistribution plans of subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures and relevant provisions of tax law.For retained earnings of the investee which are not expected to be distributed, since the profitswill be used for the daily operation and future development of the investee, no deferred taxliabilities are recognized. If the profits to be actually distributed in future years are more or lessthan those expected, corresponding deferred tax liabilities will be recognized or reversed in profitor loss for the period at the earlier of the date on which the profit distribution plan is changed andthe date on which the profit distribution is declared.

Deferred tax assets are recognized based on the deductible temporary differences and thecorresponding tax rate, to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be availableagainst which the deductible temporary differences can be utilized. If the actual taxable income infuture years are more or less than that expected, corresponding deferred tax assets will berecognized or reversed in profit or loss for the period in which they are actually incurred.

(4) Impairment test of goodwill and key parameters

When testing the goodwill for impairment, the Group compares the carrying amount of relatedasset groups and portfolio of asset groups (including goodwill) with the recoverable amount. If therecoverable amount is less than the carrying amount, the difference is included in profit or loss forthe period. The Group determines the recoverable amount of the asset groups and portfolio ofasset groups that generate goodwill at fair value less cost of disposal or at present value ofexpected future cash flows. The fair value is determined using market approach. The presentvalue of cash flows is estimated based on the forecast of cash flows for 5 years to 26 yearsdetailed forecast period and subsequent forecast period. The estimated future cash flows for thedetailed forecast period are based on the business plan established by the management; theexpected future cash flows for the subsequent forecast period are determined in conjunction withthe level of the final year of the detailed forecast period, combined with the Group's businessplans, industry trends and inflation rates. The growth rate adopted will not exceed the long-termaverage growth rate of the country where the asset groups and portfolio of asset groups arelocated. The key assumptions used by the Group in estimating the present value of future cashflows include growth rate and discount rate etc. The pre-tax discount rate and the growth rate forsubsequent forecast period adopted in 2022 are 11.20%-20.47% and 2.00%-2.62% respectively.The parameters of key assumptions determined by the Group's management are in line with theGroup's historical experience or external source of information.

(3) Description of performance obligations

The Group provides port service, bonded logistics service and other services. These services areobligations performed over a period of time. For port services, as the handling time for containersand bulk cargos is short, the management believes that it is not necessary to recognize revenueaccording to the progress towards the completion of contract and it is an appropriate method torecognize the fulfilment of performance obligation and revenue upon the completion of theservice. For bonded logistics service and other services, the customers evenly obtain and consumethe economic benefits from the Group's performance of contract, meanwhile the charging rules asagreed in the contract terms usually adopt daily/month/yearly basis. During the process ofrendering services, the Group recognizes revenue using straight-line method.

Part of the Group's handling contracts are established with discount terms, i.e. the customerswhose business volume reaches agreed level, are granted with preferential charge rate or discount.At the end of the year, as the business volume finally realized within the contract period isuncertain, the contract consideration is subject to variable factors. The management includes thispart of discount in other payables and provisions. At the end of the year, the variableconsiderations arising from sales discount are set out in Note (VIII) 33 (3) and Note (VIII) 41.

(XI) RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

1. Currency risk

Exceptfor part of the purchases and sales, the Group's other principal activities are denominated andsettled in RMB. As at 31 December 2022, the balances of the Group's assets and liabilities areboth denominated in functional currency, except that the assets and liabilities set out below arerecorded using foreign currencies. Currency risk arising from the foreign currency balance ofassets and liabilities may have impact on the Group's performance.

Long-term borrowings	3,669,000,000.00	670,000,000.00
Long-term payables	-	3,433,175,756.61

The Group closely monitors the effects of changes in the foreign exchange rates on the Group'scurrency risk exposures. According to the current risk exposure and judgment on the exchangerate movements, the management considers it is unlikely that the exchange rate changes in thenext 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 andhedges of a net investment in a foreign operation are highly effective. On the basis of the aboveassumption, where all other variables are held constant, the reasonably possible changes in theforeign exchange rate may have the following pre-tax effect on the profit or loss for the periodand shareholders' equity:

Item	Changes in exchange rate	2022		2021
		Effect on profit	Effect on shareholders' equity	Effect on profit	Effect on shareholders' equity
All foreign currencies	5% increase against RMB	-383,846,068.61	-383,846,068.61	-146,440,030.80	-146,440,030.80

(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 mainlyrelated to bank loans with floating interest rate. (See Note (VIII) 26 and Note (VIII) 36). TheGroup continuously and closely monitors the impact of interest rate changes on the Group'sinterest 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.

Sensitivity analysis on interest rate risk

Sensitivity analysis on interest rate risk is based on the following assumptions:

? Fluctuations of market interest rate can affect the interest income or expense of a financialinstrument with floating interest rate;? For a financial instrument at fair value with fixed interest rate, the fluctuations of market interestrate can only affect its interest income or expense;? For a derivative financial instrument designated as hedging instrument, the fluctuations of marketinterest rate affect its fair value, and all interest rate hedges are expected to be highly effective;? The changes in fair value of derivative financial instruments and other financial assets andliabilities are calculated using cash flow discounting method by applying the market interest rate atbalance sheet date.

On the basis of above assumptions, where the other variables held constant, the pre-tax effect ofpossible and reasonable changes in interest rate on the profit or loss for the period andshareholders' equity are as follows:

Item	Changes in interest rate	2022		2021
		Effect on profit	Effect on shareholders' equity	Effect on profit	Effect on shareholders' equity
Short-term borrowings and long-term borrowings	1% increase	-207,621,560.74	-207,621,560.74	-163,962,806.32	-163,962,806.32
Short-term borrowings and long-term borrowings	1% decrease	207,621,560.74	207,621,560.74	163,962,806.32	163,962,806.32

3. Liquidity risk

In the management of the liquidity risk, the Group monitors and maintains a level of cash andcash equivalents deemed adequate by the management to finance the Group's operations andmitigate the effects of fluctuations in cash flows. The management monitors the utilisation ofbank borrowings and ensures compliance with loan covenants.

From business and location perspectives, the management assesses the performance of theGroup's business operations including ports operation, bonded logistics operation and otheroperations.
