IX. Outlook of the Companyblelled by the Compan1. Outlook and trends of the industryLooking forward to 2019, after the strong recovery in the last two years, the global economy willface the risk of slower growth. Trade protectionism will lead to more friction in the circulation ofkey elements and geopolitical issues will continue to dampen global recovery. With the weakeningmarginal utility of the stimulation policies, coupled with the effect of continuous interest rate hike,the United States will be facing increased debt and financial pressure; while the Europeaneconomies will continue to recover at a slow pace with the prevailing uncertainties associated withpolitical risks. Meanwhile, as affected by capital outflow, currency depreciation and geopoliticalissues, the emerging and developing economies demonstrated diverging growth trends. Accordingto IMF, it is expected that the global economy will grow at a lower rate of 3.5% in 2019, down 0.2percentage point as compared to that of 2018, among which, developed economies are expected togrow by 2.0%, down 0.3 percentage point as compared to that of 2018; emerging and developingeconomies will grow by 4.5%, down 0.1 percentage point as compared to that of 2018, and the totalglobal trade volume (including goods and services) will grow by 4.0%, flat with 2018.Chinang forward to 2019, after the strong recovery in the last two years, the global economy willface the risk of slower growth. Trade protectionism will lead to gradually stabilise under morevigorous fiscal expansion whilst income tax reform will help to stabilise consumption. The constantpromulgation of supportive policies for private enterprises will restore the confidence of theenterprises. Fiscal and monetary policies aiming to stabilise overall demand will be more relaxed,and a more moderate and flexible approach will be adopted in addressing complicated internationalissues such as Sino-US trade friction. All of the above will be conducive to economic and tradegrowth. According to the IMF, China’s economy is projected to grow by 6.2% in 2019, down 0.4percentage point over 2018.Affected by the trade investment policy of 019, down 0.4 percentage point over 2018. economy willface the risk of slower growtt rate hike and tax reduction of developed countries, the risk ofdeclining cyclical recovery momentum of the global economy will increase. In 2019, the globalcontainer transportation market will be under recovery and adjustment with the pressure ofovercapacity. Under the influence of the Sino-US trade friction, the centralized export in 2018 bycertain cargo owners of Trans-Pacific shipping routes will have a certain impact on their seabornevolume in 2019; while the shipping price of Asia-Europe shipping routes is under pressure asaffected by the economic slowdown in Europe. However, the industrial transfer will bring more

4. Possible risks and counter measures

(1)External risks

The external risks mainly come from the combined impact of international political environmentand consolidation of domestic port groups. As for international political risks, the rise of populismaround the globe has led to challenges in the globalization trend. The change in geopolitical andeconomy trade landscape, as highlighted by Sino-US trade friction, has caused changes in globaltrade structure and resulted in certain impacts on global economy trade and port shipping sector.Shipping routes in various regions across the globe may be affected and changed accordingly,causing adverse impacts on containers and bulk cargo businesses of the Company. As forconsolidation of domestic port groups, with an ever-deepening consolidation of various regions inChina, the port competition landscape will change correspondingly, causing uncertainty to thebusiness and operation earnings of the Company.By enhancing the build-up of risk identification, warning and mitigation ability, the Company hasprevented, controlled and reduced external risks. The Company has continued to pay attention tochanges in external policies and market environment specific to international political environmentrisk, especially Sino-US trade friction. On one hand, the Company can improve risk warning andmonitoring measures and ensure proper work on customer credit status so as to reduce the risk ofaccounts receivable. On the other hand, the Company can notice the changes in the trade marketstructure and flow of resources, formulate and adjust strategies for business development in time soas to enhance collaboration and close connection between ports at home and abroad, improveservice quality and related services, and stabilize import and export business and customer base.

China Merchants Port Group Co., Ltd. Annual Report 2018

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

Statements

The Company is responsible for the preparation of the financial statements that give a true and fairview in accordance with Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises, and for the design,performance and maintenance of such internal control that is necessary to enable the preparation offinancial statements that 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.

These charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the Company's financial reportingprocess.

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 Auditing Standards for the Chinese Certified Public Accountants willalways detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error andare considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could expected influence theeconomic decisions taken based on these financial statements by reasonable users.

As part of an audit in accordance with Auditing Standards for the Chinese Certified PublicAccountants, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout theaudit. We also:

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

due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtainaudit evidence that was sufficient and appropriate to form our opinion. The risk of not detectinga material misstatement resulting from fraud was higher than for one resulting from error, asfraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the overrideof 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.

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

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

accounting. Based on audit evidence obtained, concluded on whether the material uncertainty ofevents or conditions that may cause cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continueas a going concern existed. If we concluded that a material uncertainty existed, we were requiredto draw 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, structure and content of the financial statements (including

the disclosures), and whether the financial statements represented the underlying transactionsand 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. We remainedsolely responsible for our audit opinion.

We communicated with those charged with governance over audit scope, time arrangement andsignificant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies of internal control that we identifiedthrough audit.

We also provided the those charged with governance with a statement that we had complied withrelevant ethical requirements of independence, and communicated with those charged with governanceover all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence,and where applicable, related safeguards.

From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determined those mattersthat were of most significance in the audit of the financial statements of the current period and weretherefore the key audit matters. We described these matters in our auditor's report unless law orregulation precluded public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, wedetermined that a matter should not be addressed in our report because the adverse consequences ofdoing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of suchcommunication.

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.

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 acquire. 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.

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.

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

6. Preparation of 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 of the above elements of the definition ofcontrol.

ESTIMATES - continued

6. Preparation of consolidated financial statements - continued

Consolidation of a subsidiary begins when the Group obtains control over the subsidiaries 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 statement of cash flows, as appropriate.

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 statementof cash flows, 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 statement of cash flows, 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.

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

The portion of subsidiaries' equity that is not attributable to the parent is treated as minorityinterests and presented as "minority interests" in the consolidated balance sheet undershareholders' equity. The portion of net profits or losses of subsidiaries for the period attributableto minority interests is presented as "minority interests" in the consolidated income statementunder the "net profit" line item.

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 shareholders' equity of thesubsidiary, the excess amount is still allocated against minority interests.

Acquisition of minority interests or disposals of interests in a subsidiary that do not result in theloss of control over the subsidiary are accounted for as equity transactions. The carrying amountsof the parent's interests and minority interests are adjusted to reflect the changes in their relativeinterests in the subsidiary. The difference between the amount by which the minority interests areadjusted and the fair value of the consideration paid or received is adjusted to capital reserve. Ifthe capital reserve is not sufficient to absorb the difference, the excess are adjusted againstretained earnings.

6. Preparation of consolidated financial statements - continued

For the stepwise acquisition of equity interest till acquiring control after a few transactions andleading to business combination not involving enterprises under common control, this should bedealt with based on whether this belongs to 'package deal': if it belongs to 'package deal',transactions will be dealt as transactions to acquire control. If it does not belong to 'package deal',transactions to acquire control on acquisition date will be under accounting treatment, the fairvalue of acquirees' shares held before acquisition date will be revalued, and the differencebetween fair value and book value will be recognized in profit or loss of the current period; ifacquirees' shares held before acquisition date involve in changes of other comprehensive incomeand other equity of owners under equity method, this will be transferred to income of acquisitiondate.

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.One or more of the following indicate that the Group shall account for the multiple arrangementsas 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.

7. Types of joint arrangements and the accounting treatment of joint operation

9. Foreign currency transactions

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.

When the consolidated financial statements include foreign operation(s), if there is foreigncurrency monetary item constituting a net investment in a foreign operation, exchange differencearising from changes in exchange rates are recognized as "exchange differences arising ontranslation of financial statements denominated in foreign currencies " in other comprehensiveincome, and in profit and 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 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 of exchange rate) and isrecognized in profit and loss or as other comprehensive income.

9.2 Translation of financial statements denominated in foreign currencies

For the purpose of preparing the consolidated financial statements, financial statements of 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 are translated at the spot exchange rates at the dateson which such items arose; all items in the income statement as well as items reflecting thedistribution of profits are translated at exchange rates that approximate the actual spot exchangerates on the dates of the transactions; The difference between the translated assets and theaggregate of liabilities and shareholders' equity items is recognized as other comprehensiveincome 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 opening balances and the comparative figures of previous year are presented at the translatedamounts in the previous year's financial statements.

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

10. Financial instruments

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

All regular way purchases or sales of financial assets are recognized and derecognized on a tradedate basis.

Financial assets and financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value. For financial assetsand financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, relevant transaction costs are directlyrecognized in profit or loss; transaction costs relating to other categories of financial assets andfinancial liabilities are included in the value initially recognized. For accounts receivablerecognized that do not contain a significant financing component or a financing componentincluded in the contracts less than one year which are not considered by the Group, which arewithin the scope of Accounting Standard for Business Enterprises No.14 - Revenue (hereinafterreferred to as "new standards for revenue"), transaction prices defined in the standards shall beadopted on initial recognition.

The effective interest method is a method that is used in the calculation of the amortized cost of afinancial asset or a financial liability and in the allocation of the interest income or interestexpense in profit or loss over the relevant period.

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 a financialasset or to the amortized cost of a financial liability. When calculating the effective interest rate,the Group estimates future cash flows by considering all the contractual terms of the financialasset or financial liability (for example, prepayment, extension, call option or similar options) butshall not consider 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 contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solelypayments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding, and the financial asset isheld within a business model whose objective is to hold financial assets in order to collectcontractual cash flows, such asset is classified into financial assets measured at amortized cost,which include cash and bank balances, notes receivable and accounts receivable and otherreceivables and etc..

Financial assets that meet the following conditions are subsequently measured at fair valuethrough other comprehensive income ("FVTOCI"): the financial asset is held within a businessmodel whose objective is achieved by both collecting contractual cash flows and selling; and thecontractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solelypayments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding. Financial assets atFVTOCI are presented as other debt investments. Other debt investments due within one year(inclusive) since the balance sheet date are presented as non-current assets due within one year.Other debt investments due within one year (inclusive) upon acquisition are presented as othercurrent assets.

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 other equity 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, which arepresented as held-for-trading financial assets other than derivative financial assets. Such financialassets at FVTPL which may fall due more than one year since the balance sheet date and will beheld more than one year are presented as other non-current financial assets.

? Any financial assets that does not qualify for amortized cost measurement or measurement at

FVTOCI or designated at FVTOCI are classified into financial assets at FVTPL.? Upon initial recognition, in order to eliminate or significantly reduce accounting mismatch

and qualified hybrid financial instrument combines financial asset with embedded derivatives,

the Group will irrevocably designated it as financial liabilities at FVTPL.

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

? It has been acquired principally for the purpose of selling in the near term; or? On initial recognition it is part of a portfolio of identified financial instruments that the

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

hedging instrument.

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 bookvalue of financial assets multiplying effective interest, except for the following circumstances:

? For purchased or originated credit-impaired financial assets with credit impairment, the

Group calculates and recognizes its interest income based on amortized cost of thefinancial asset and the effective interest through credit adjustment since initial recognition.

10.1.2 Financial assets at FVTOCI

Impairment losses or gains related to financial assets at FVTOCI, interest income measured usingeffective interest method and exchange gains or losses are recognized into profit or loss for thecurrent period, except for the above circumstances, changes in fair value of the financial assets areincluded in other comprehensive income. Amounts charged to profit or loss for every period equalto the amount charged to profit or loss as it is measured at amortized costs. When the financialasset is derecognized, the cumulative gains or losses previously recognized in othercomprehensive income shall be removed from other comprehensive income and recognized inprofit or loss.

Non-trading equity instrument investments are designated as financial assets at FVTOCI, thecumulative gains or losses previously recognized in other comprehensive income allocated to thepart derecognized are transferred and included in retained earnings. During the period in whichthe Group holds the non-trading equity instrument, revenue from dividends is recognized in profitor loss for the current period when (1) the Group has established the right of collecting dividends;(2) it is probable that the associated economic benefits will flow to the Group; and (3) the amountof dividends can be measured reliably.

10.2 Impairment of financial instruments

The Group makes accounting treatment on impairment and recognizes loss allowance forexpected credit losses ("ECL") on financial instruments measured at amortized cost, financialinstruments classified as at FVTOCI, lease receivables and contract assets.

The Group makes a loss allowance against amount of lifetime ECL of the contract assets andaccounts receivable that exclude significant financing component or do not consider the financingcomponent in the contract within one year arising from transactions adopting New Standards forRevenue, contract assets and accounts receivable that include significant financing componentand lease receivables arising from transactions adopting New Standards for Lease.

For other financial instrument, other than purchased or originated credit-impaired financial assets,the Group assesses changes in credit risks of the relevant financial asset since initial recognition ateach balance sheet date. If the credit loss of the financial instrument has been significantlyincreased since initial recognition, the Group will make a loss allowance at an amount of expectedcredit loss during the whole life; if not, the Group will make a loss allowance for the financialinstrument at an amount in the future 12-month expected credit losses. Except for the financialassets classified as at FVTOCI, increase in or reversal of credit loss allowance is included in profitor loss as loss/gain on impairment. For the financial assets classified as at FVTOCI, the Grouprecognizes credit loss allowance in other comprehensive income and recognizes the loss/gain onimpairment in profit or loss, while the Group does not decrease the carrying amount of suchfinancial assets in the balance sheet.

The Group has makes a loss allowance against amount of expected credit losses during the wholelife in the prior accounting period. However, at the balance sheet date, the credit risk on afinancial instrument has not increased significantly since initial recognition; the Group willmeasure the loss allowance for that financial instrument at an amount in the future 12-monthexpected credit losses. Reversed amount of loss allowance arising from such circumstances shallbe included in profit or loss as impairment gains.

10.2.1 Significant increase of credit risk

In assessing whether the credit risk has increased significantly since initial recognition, the Groupcompares the risk of a default occurring on the financial instrument as at the reporting date withthe risk of a default occurring on the financial instrument as at the date of initial recognition. Forloan commitments, the date that the Group becomes a party to the irrevocable commitment isconsidered to be the date of initial recognition in the application of criteria related to the financialinstrument 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 of credit risk as a result of a change in credit

risk;(2) Other changes in the rates or terms of an existing financial instrument that would be

significantly different if the instrument was newly originated or issued at the balance sheet

date (such as more stringent covenants, increased amounts of collateral or guarantees, or

higher income coverage).(3) Significant changes in external market indicators of credit risk for a particular financial

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

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

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

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

borrower’s debt and equity instruments.(4) Significant changes in actual or expected external credit rating for the financial instruments;(5) An actual or expected internal credit rating downgrade for the borrower(6) Adverse changes in business, financial or economic conditions that are expected to cause a

significant change in the debtor’s ability to meet its debt obligations;(7) An actual or expected significant change in the operating results of the debtor;(8) Significant increases in credit risk on other financial instruments of the same borrower;(9) Significant adverse change in the regulatory, economic, or technological environment of the

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

of third-party guarantees or credit enhancements, which are expected to reduce the

debtor’s economic incentive to make scheduled contractual payments or to otherwise have

an effect on the probability of a default occurring.(11) Significant changes in circumstances expected to reduce the debtor’s economic incentive to

make scheduled contractual payments;

At balance sheet date, if the Group judges that the financial instrument solely has lower credit risk,the Group will assume that the credit risk of the financial instrument has not been significantlyincreased since initial recognition.

10.2.2 Credit-impaired financial assets

When the Group expected occurrence of one or more events which may cause adverse impact onfuture cash flows of a financial asset, the financial asset will become a credit-impaired financialassets. Objective evidence that a financial asset is impaired includes but not limited to thefollowing observable events:

(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 that financial asset because of financial

difficulties of the issuer or the debtor;(6) Purchase or originate a financial asset with a large scale of discount, which reflects facts

of credit loss incurred.

10.2.3 Determination of expected credit loss

The Group uses a provision matrix to determine the credit losses for accounts receivable, contractassets and debt investment based on a portfolio basis. The Group classifies financial instrumentsinto different groups based on common risk characteristics. Common credit risk characteristicsinclude credit risk rating, the date of initial recognition, remaining contractual maturity, industryof borrower and geographical location of the borrower etc.

10.2.3 Determination of expected credit loss - continued

The Group determines expected credit losses of relevant financial instruments using the followingmethods:

? For a financial asset, a credit loss is the present value of the difference between the contractual

cash flows that are due to the Group under the contract and the cash flows that the Groupexpects to receive;? For a lease receivable, a credit loss is the present value of the difference between the contractual

cash flows that are due to the Group under the contract and the cash flows that the Groupexpects to receive;? For a financial asset with credit-impaired at the balance sheet date, but not purchased or

originated credit-impaired, a credit losses is the difference between the asset’s grosscarrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows discounted at thefinancial asset’s original effective interest rate.

The factors reflected in methods of measurement of expected credit losses include an unbiasedand probability-weighted amount that is determined by evaluating a range of possible outcomes;time value of money; reasonable and supportable information about past events, currentconditions and forecasts on future economic status at balance sheet date without unnecessaryadditional costs or efforts.

10.2.4 Write-down of financial assets

When the Group will no longer reasonably expect that the contractual cash flows of financialassets can be collected in aggregate or in part, the Group will directly write down the carryingamount of the financial asset, which constitutes derecognition of relevant financial assets.

10.3 Transfer of financial assets

The Group will derecognize a financial asset if one of the following conditions is satisfied: (i) 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 relevant

liabilities 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 relevant financial

liabilities 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 a transfer of a financial asset in its entirety that satisfies the derecognition criteria, forfinancial asset categorized into those measured at amortized cost and financial asset categorizedinto those measured at FVTOCI, the difference between (1) the carrying amount of the financialasset transferred and (2) the sum of the consideration received from the transfer and accumulatedchanges in fair value initially recorded in other comprehensive income is recognized in profit orloss. For the non-tradable equity instrument designated as financial assets at FVTOCI, cumulativegain or loss that has been recognized in other comprehensive income should be removed fromother comprehensive income but be recognized in retained earnings.

For a part of transfer of a financial asset that satisfies the derecognition criteria, the carryingamount of the transferred financial asset is allocated between the part that is derecognized and thepart that is continuously involved, based on the respective fair values of those parts on transferdate. The difference between (1) the sum of the consideration received for the part derecognizedand any cumulative gain or loss allocated to the part derecognized which has been previouslyrecognized in other comprehensive income; and (2) the carrying amount allocated to the partderecognized on derecognition date; is recognized in profit or loss. For the non-tradable equityinstrument designated as financial assets at FVTOCI, cumulative gain or loss that has beenrecognized in other comprehensive income should be removed from other comprehensive incomebut be recognized in retained earnings.

10.4 Classification of financial liabilities equity instruments

Financial instruments issued by the Group are classified into financial liabilities or equityinstruments on the basis of the substance of the contractual arrangements and the economic naturenot only its legal form, together with the definition of financial liability and equity instruments oninitial 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 asheld-for-trading financial liabilities.

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

? It has been acquired principally for the purpose of repurchasing in the near term; or? On initial recognition it is part of a portfolio of identified financial instruments that the

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

hedging instrument.

A financial liability may be designated as at FVTPL on initial recognition when one of 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.

The amount of change in the fair value of the financial liability that is attributable to changes inthe credit risk of that liability shall be presented in other comprehensive income, other changes infair values are included in profit or loss for the current period. Upon the derecognition of suchliability, the accumulated amount of change in fair value that is attributable to changes in thecredit risk of that liability, which is recognized in other comprehensive income, is transferred toretained earnings. Any dividend or interest income earned on the financial liabilities arerecognized in profit or loss.

A financial guarantee contract is a contract that requires the issuer to make specified paymentsto reimburse 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 are measured at the higher of: (1) amount of lossprovision; and (2) the amount initially recognized less cumulative amortization amountdetermined based on new standards for revenue.

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.

When the Group derecognizes a financial liability or a part of it, it recognizes the differencebetween the carrying amount of the financial liability (or part of the financial liability)derecognized and the consideration paid (including any non-cash assets transferred or newfinancial liabilities assumed) in profit or loss.

10.4.3 Equity instruments

12.2 Valuation method of inventories upon delivery

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

12.3 Basis for determining net realizable value of inventories and provision methods for declinein 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 ofbusiness less the estimated costs of completion, the estimated costs necessary to make the sale andrelevant taxes. Net realizable value is determined on the basis of clear evidence obtained, aftertaking into consideration the purposes of inventories being held and effect of post balance sheetevents.

Provision for decline in value of other inventories is made based on the excess of cost ofinventory over its net realizable value on an item-by-item basis.

After the provision for decline in value of inventories is made, if the circumstances 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.

12.4 Inventory count system

The perpetual inventory system is maintained for stock system.

12.5 Amortization methods for low cost and short-lived consumable items and packagingmaterials

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

13. Assets held for sale

When the Group withdraw the book value of certain assets or disposal group mainly throughdisposal instead of continual application, the assets should be classified as held-for-sale assets.

Assets or disposal group classified as held-for-sale assets should meat following conditions: (1)The current status is available for immediate distribution according to similar transactions of thiscategory of assets or disposal group; (2) The transaction is likely to occur, i.e. the Group has madeits resolution over the distribution arrangements and acquired purchase commitment.

The group's non-current assets and disposal group are measured at the lower of book value andthe net value of fair value less costs to sell. Once the book value is higher than the net value offair value less costs to sell, the book value should be adjusted to the net value and the excessshould be recognized as impairment losses and provision for held-for-sale assets impairmentshould be made. A gain and a reverse in the previous provision for held-for-sale assetsimpairment can be recognized for any increase in fair value less costs to sell at subsequentbalance sheet dates, to the extent that it is not in excess of the cumulative impairment loss that hasbeen recognized.

Non-current held-for-sale assets is not subject to depreciation and amortization. The creditorinterest and other expenses of disposal group classified as held-for-sale asset should still berecognized.

Once the associate or joint venture equity investment is completely or partly classified asheld-for-sale assets, the classified part of the investment is not subject to equity methodmeasurement.

14. Long-term equity investments

14.1 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.

14.2 Determination of investment cost

For a long-term equity investment acquired through a business combination involving enterprisesunder common control, the investment cost of the long-term equity investment is the attributableshare of the carrying amount of the shareholders' equity of the acquiree at the date of combination.The difference between the initial investment cost and the carrying amount of cash paid, non-cashassets transferred and liabilities assumed shall be adjusted to capital reserve. If the balance ofcapital reserve is not sufficient, any excess shall be 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 shall be the share of party being absorbed ofthe owners' equity in the consolidated financial statements of the ultimate controlling party at thedate of combination. The aggregate face value of the shares issued shall be accounted for as sharecapital. The difference between the initial investment cost and the aggregate face value of theshares issued shall be adjusted to capital reserve. If the balance of capital reserve is not sufficient,any excess shall be adjusted to retained earnings.

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 absorbing party's or purchaser's intermediary expenses (fees in respect of auditing, legalservices, valuation and consultancy services, etc.) and other administrative expenses attributableto the business combination are recognized in profit or loss in the periods when they are incurred.

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 Standard for Business Enterprises No.22 - Financial Instruments:

Recognition and Measurement of (ASBE No. 22) and the additional investment cost.

14.3 Subsequent measurement and recognition of profit or loss

14.3.1 A long-term equity investment 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.Additional or withdrawing investment would affect the cost of long-term equity investment.Investment income is recognized in the period in accordance with the attributable share of cashdividends or profit distributions declared by the investee.

14.3.2 A long-term equity investment accounted for using the equity method

Except associate and joint venture investment completely or partly classified as available for sale,and The Group accounts for investment in associates and joint ventures using the equity method.An associate is an entity over which the Group has significant influence and a joint venture is ajoint arrangement whereby the parties that have joint control of the arrangement have rights to thenet assets of the joint 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 investmentcost is less than the Group's share of the fair value of the investee's identifiable net assets at thetime of acquisition, the difference is recognized in profit or loss for the period, and the cost of thelong-term equity investment is adjusted accordingly.

Under the equity method, the Group recognizes its share of the other comprehensive income andnet profit or loss of the investee for the period as other comprehensive income and investmentincome or loss respectively for the period, and the carrying amount of the long-term equityinvestment is adjusted accordingly. The carrying amount of the investment shall be reduced by theportion of any profit distributions or cash dividends declared by the investee that is distributed tothe investing enterprise. The investing enterprise shall adjust the carrying amount of the long-termequity investment for other changes in owners' equity of the investee (other than net profits orlosses, other comprehensive income and profit distribution), and include the correspondingadjustment in capital reserve. The Group recognizes its share of the investee's net profit or lossbased on the fair value of the investee's individually identifiable assets at the acquisition date aftermaking appropriate adjustments. Where the accounting policies and accounting period adopted bythe investee are different from those of the investing enterprise, the investing enterprise shalladjust the financial statements of the investee to conform to its own accounting policies andaccounting period, and recognize other comprehensive income and investment income or lossesbased on the adjusted financial statements. Unrealized profits or losses resulting from the Group'stransactions and assets invested or sold that are not recognized as business transactions with itsassociates and joint ventures are recognized as investment income or loss to the extent that thoseattributable to the Group's, equity interest are eliminated. However, unrealized losses resultingfrom the Group's transactions with its associates and joint ventures which represent impairmentlosses on the transferred assets are not eliminated.

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. Except that 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.

14.4 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.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 for using the equity method is accounted for on the same basis as wouldhave been required if the investee had directly disposed of related assets or liabilities, andtransferred to profit or loss for the period on a pro rata basis; owners' equity recognized due tochanges in other owners' equity of the investee (other than net profit or loss, other comprehensiveincome and profit distribution) is transferred to profit or loss for the period on a pro rata basis.

For long-term equity investments accounted for using the cost method, if the remaining interestafter disposal is still accounted for using the cost method, other comprehensive income previouslyrecognized for using the equity method or in accordance with the standards for the recognitionand measurement of financial instruments before obtaining the control over the investee, isaccounted for on the same basis as would have been required if the investee had directly disposedof related assets or liabilities, and transferred to profit or loss for the period on a pro rata basis;changes in other owners' equity in the investee's net assets recognized under the equity method(other than net profit or loss, other comprehensive income and profit distribution) is transferred toprofit or loss for the period on a pro rata basis.

15. Investment properties

Investment property is property held to earn rentals or for capital appreciation or both. It includesa land use right that is leased out; a land use right held for transfer upon capital appreciation; anda 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 an investment property will flow to the Group and thesubsequent expenditures can be measured reliably, other subsequent expenditures are recognizedin profit or loss in 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.

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.

16. Fixed assets

16.1 Recognition criteria for fixed assets

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 andif it is 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 inthe period in which they are incurred.

16.2 Depreciation of each category of fixed assets

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:

CategoryEstimated useful livesEstimated residual value (%)Annual depreciation rate (%)

17. 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.

18. 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 in the period inwhich they are incurred.

19. Intangible assets

Intangible assets include land use rights and port operating right.

An intangible asset is measured initially at cost. Upon being restructured into a stock company,the intangible assets initial contributed by the state-owned shareholders are recognized based onthe valuation amounts confirmed by the state-owned assets administration department. When anintangible asset with a finite useful life is available for use, its original cost is amortized over itsestimated useful life.

22. Employee benefits

22.1 The accounting treatment of short-term employee benefits

Actually occurred short-term employee benefits are recognized as liabilities, with a correspondingcharge to the profit or loss for the period or in the costs of relevant assets in the accounting periodin which employees provide services to the Group. Staff welfare expenses incurred by theGroup are recognized in profit or loss for the period or the costs of relevant assets based on theactually occurred amounts when it actually occurred.

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 the profit or loss for the period or the costs of relevant assets in theaccounting period in which employees provide services.

22.2 The accounting treatment of post-employment benefits

Post-employment benefits are classified into defined contribution plans and defined benefit plans.

During the accounting period of rendering service to employees of the Group, amount whichshould be paid according to defined contribution plans is recognized as liabilities, and recognizedin profit or loss or related costs of assets.

For defined benefit plans, the Group calculates defined benefit plan obligations using projectedunit credit method and the service cost resulting from employee service in the current period isrecorded in profit or loss or the cost 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 plan (including interest income of

23. Provisions

Provisions are recognized when the Group has a present obligation related with contingencies, itis probable that the Group will be required to settle that obligation causing an outflow ofeconomic benefits, and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.

The amount recognized as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to settlethe present obligation at balance sheet date, taking into account the risks, uncertainties and timevalue of money surrounding the obligation. When a provision is measured using the cash flowsestimated to settle the present obligation, its carrying amount is the present value of those cashflows where the effect of the time value of money is material.

When some or all of the economic benefits required to settle a provision are expected to berecovered from a third party, a receivable is recognized as an asset if it is virtually certain thatreimbursement will be received and the amount of the receivable should not exceed the carryingamount of provisions.

24. Revenue

ESTIMATES - continued

24. Revenue - continued

The Group recognizes revenue based on the transaction price allocated to such performanceobligation when a performance obligation is satisfied, i.e. when "control" of the goods or servicesunderlying the particular performance obligation is transferred to the customer. A performanceobligation represents the commitment that a good and service that is distinct shall be transferredby the Group to the customer. Transaction price refers to the consideration that the Group isexpected to charge due to the transfer of goods or services to the customer, but it does not includepayments received on behalf of third parties and amounts that the Group expects to return to thecustomer.

If one of the following criteria is met and it is a performance obligation performed over time, theGroup recognizes the revenue within a certain period of time according to the progress of theperformance: (1) the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits provided by theGroup's performance as the Group performs; (2) the customer is able to control the goods underconstruction in the course of the Group's performance; (3) the goods produced by the Groupduring the performance of the contract are irreplaceable and the Group has the right to charge forthe accumulated part of the contract that has been performed so far during the whole contractperiod. Otherwise, the Group recognizes revenue at a certain point in time when "control" of thegoods or services is transferred to the customer.

The Group adopts input 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.

Contract asset refers 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. The Group's unconditional (i.e., depending on the passage of time only) rightto receive consideration from the customer is separately presented as receivables. Contractliabilities refers to the Group's obligation to transfer goods or services to a customer for which theGroup has received consideration from the customer. Contract assets and contract liabilities underthe same contract are set out on a net basis.

ESTIMATES - continued

24. Revenue - continued

If the contract includes two or more performance obligations, at contract inception, the Groupallocates the transaction price to single performance obligation according to relative proportion ofthe stand-alone selling prices of the goods or services promised by single performance obligation.However, where there is conclusive evidence that the contract discount or variable considerationis only related to one or more (not all) performance obligations in the contract, the Group shallallocate the contract discount or variable consideration to relevant one or more performanceobligations. The stand-alone selling price is the price at which the Group would sell a promisedgood or service separately to a customer. If a stand-alone selling price is not directly observable,the Group shall consider all information that is reasonably available to the Group and maximizethe use of observable inputs and apply estimates methods consistently in similar circumstances.

If the contract includes significant financing component, the Group determines the transactionprice based on the amount payable under the assumption that the customer pays that amountpayable in cash when "control" of the goods or services is obtained by the customer. Thedifference between the transaction price and the contract consideration shall be amortized withinthe contract period using effective interest rate. If the Group expects, at contract inception, that theperiod between when the Group transfers a promised good or service to a customer and when thecustomer pays for that good or service will be one year or less, the Group needs not to considerthe significant financing component.

Principal and agent

The Group determines whether it is a principal or an agent at the time of the transaction based onwhether it owns the "control" of the goods or services before the transfer of such goods orservices to the customer. The Group is a principal if it controls the specified good or servicebefore that good or service is transferred to a customer, and the revenue shall be recognized basedon the total consideration received or receivable; otherwise, the Group is an agent, and therevenue shall be recognized based on the amount of commission or handling fee that is expectedto be charged, and such amount is determined based on the net amount of the total considerationreceived or receivable after deducting the prices payable to other related parties or according tothe established commission amount or proportion.

Costs to fulfill a contract

If the costs incurred in fulfilling a contract are not within the scope of other standard other thannew standards for revenue, the Group shall recognized an asset from the costs incurred to fulfill acontract only if those costs meet all of the following criteria: (1) the costs relate directly to acontract or to an anticipated contract that the Group can specifically identify; (2) the costsgenerate or enhance resources of the entity that will be used in satisfying performanceobligations in the future; and (3) the costs are expected to be recovered. The asset mentionedabove shall be amortized on a basis that is consistent with the transfer to the customer of thegoods or services to which the asset relates and recognized in profit or loss for the period.

The Group shall, after the impairment has been provided, recognized in profit or loss a reversal ofsome or all of an impairment loss previously recognized when the impairment conditions nolonger exist or have improved. The increased carrying amount of the asset shall not exceed thecarrying amount that would have been determined if no impairment loss had been recognizedpreviously.

25. 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.

25.1 The accounting treatment of government grants related to assets

Government grants, such as special funds for modern logistics project and special funds forenergy-saving and emission reduction of transportation, are government grants related to assets asthey are all related to the construction and use of assets.

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 relating to income, if used to compensate the related cost, expenses or lossesto be incurred in subsequent periods, is determined as deferred income and recognized in profit orloss over the periods in which the related costs are recognized; if used to compensate the relatedcost, expenses or losses already incurred, is recognized immediately in profit or loss for theperiod.

A government grant relating to the Group's daily activities, is recognized in other income in linewith the nature of economic transaction. A government grant not relating to the Group's dailyactivities, is recognized in non-operating income.

26. Deferred tax assets/ deferred tax liabilities

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

26.1 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.

26.2 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 be utilized.However, for temporary differences associated with the initial recognition of goodwill and theinitial recognition of an asset or liability arising from a transaction (not a business combination)that affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profits (or deductible losses) at the time oftransaction, no deferred tax asset or liability is recognized.

Deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences associated withinvestments in subsidiaries and associates, and interests in joint ventures, except where the Groupis able to control the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference and it is probable that thetemporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future. Deferred tax assets arising fromdeductible temporary differences associated with such investments and interests are onlyrecognized to the extent that it is probable that there will be taxable profits against which to utilizethe benefits of the temporary differences and they are expected to reverse in the foreseeablefuture.

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 in equity, in which case they are recognized in other comprehensive income or inequity, and when they arise from business combinations, in which case they adjust the carryingamount 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.

26.3 Offset of income tax

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.

uncertainties in accounting estimates

In the application of accounting policies as set out in Note (III), the Company is required to makejudgments, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amounts of items in the financialstatements that cannot be measured accurately, due to the internal uncertainty of the operatingactivities. These judgments, estimates and assumptions are based on historical experiences of theCompany's management as well as other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual resultsmay differ from these estimates.

The Company regularly reviews the judgments, estimates and assumptions on a going concernbasis. Changes in accounting estimates which only affect the current period should be recognizedin current period; changes which not only affect the current but the future periods should berecognized in current and future periods. At the balance sheet date, key assumptions anduncertainties that are likely to lead to significant adjustments to the book values of assets andliabilities in the future are:

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 tax

The Group calculates and makes provision for deferred income tax liabilities according to theprofit distribution plan of subsidiaries, associates and the joint ventures subject to the related law.For retained earnings which are not allocated by the investment company, since the profits will beused to invest the company's daily operation and future development, no deferred income taxliabilities are recognized. If the actually distributed profits in the future are more or less than thoseexpected, corresponding deferred tax liabilities will be recognized or reversed at the earlier ofprofits distribution date and the declaration date, in the profit and loss of the current period.

Deferred tax assets are recognized based on the deductible temporary difference and thecorresponding tax rate, to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profit will beavailable for the deductible temporary difference. If in the future the actual taxable income doesnot coincide with the amount currently expected, the deferred tax assets resulting will berecognized or reversed in the period when actually incurred, in profit or loss.

(2) Details of goodwill impairment

The Group conducts impairment testing on the entire group of subsidiaries that generate goodwillas an asset group. The recoverable amount of each subsidiary that generates goodwill isdetermined by the present value of the estimated future cash flows of each subsidiary. Themanagement of the Group estimates the future cash flows based on the 5-year detailed forecastperiod and the subsequent forecast period. The estimated future cash flows for the detailedforecast period are based on the business plan established by the management; the expected futurecash flows for the subsequent forecast period are determined in conjunction with the level of thefinal year of the detailed forecast period, combined with the Group's business plans, industrytrends and inflation rates. The key assumptions used by the Group in estimating future cash flowsinclude growth in business volume, gross profit margin and discount rate. After the impairmenttest, the management of the Group believes that any reasonable change in the above assumptionswill not result in the book value of the net assets of the subsidiaries generating the goodwill beinglower than the recoverable amount.
