Interim Report 2024 2. Development stage and cyclical characteristic of the industry in which the Company operates and its industry position during the reporting period (1) Macro economic and trade landscape In the first half of 2024, the global economic development maintained significant resilience, with relatively steady economic growth. As global inflation levels receded, the supply situation has seen favorable changes, including the fading of energy price shocks and a significant rebound in labor supply in developed economies. Developed economies recovered slowly, according to the data from Eurostat, supported by favorable factors such as declining inflation, recovery in purchasing power, and continuous employment growth, the GDP of the European Union grew by 0.6% year-on-year and 0.3% quarter-on-quarter in the first quarter of 2024. Emerging economies showed resilience, among that, Southeast Asia market growth was particularly prominent. In the first quarter of this year, Vietnam’s GDP grew by 5.7% year-on-year, Indonesia’s GDP grew by 5.1% year-on-year, and Malaysia’s GDP grew by 4.2% year-on-year. However, the global economic growth still faces adverse risks such as geopolitical conflicts and inflation, and the medium-term growth prospect remains at a low-to-mid level. According to the “World Economic Outlook” report published by the IMF in July 2024, the global economy in 2024 is expected to grow by 3.2%, representing a decrease of 0.1 percentage point as compared to the growth rate in 2023. In terms of trade, the decline in energy prices and the easing of inflation have been beneficial for consumer demand. However, geopolitical tensions in some regions, the Red Sea crisis effect, and policy uncertainties in various countries may limit the extent of trade rebound. According to IMF, the global trade volume (including goods and services) is expected to grow by 3.1% in 2024, up by 2.3 percentage points year-on-year. During the first half of 2024, China faced a severe and complex macroeconomic situation. It adhered to the general principle of “seeking progress while maintaining stability, stable yet progressive growth, and breakthrough after revitalization”. Various macroeconomic policies were effectively implemented, and the national economic development remained stable while making progress. According to the data from the National Bureau of Statistics of China, the GDP of China amounted to RMB61.68 trillion during the first half of 2024, representing a year-on-year growth of 5.0% at constant prices. In terms of trade, the recovery in the global trade situation has strongly driven the stable growth of China’s foreign trade. The recovery in demand from developed economies, such as Europe and the United States, along with the global technology industry’s entry into an upward cycle, have also brought positive effects to the recovery of external demand. According to the statistics of the General Administration of Customs of China, the total value of China’s export and import trade amounted to RMB21.17 trillion during the first half of 2024, representing a year-on-year increase of 6.1%. Among which, the exports amounted to RMB12.13 trillion, representing a year-on-year increase of 6.9%; and the imports amounted to RMB9.04 trillion, representing a year-on-year increase of 5.2%. The trade surplus was RMB3.09 trillion, which expanded by 12.0%. Looking ahead to the second half of 2024, uncertainties such as high interest-rate environment, geopolitical conflicts and inflation in emerging market countries still exist. However, positive factors for global economic growth are also accumulating, including short-term fiscal stimulus measures adopted by relevant countries with general elections, unexpected decline in inflation and artificial intelligence boosting productivity. IMF predicts that the global economic growth rate will reach 3.2% in 2024. The growth rate of developed economies in 2024 will increase from 1.6% in 2023 to 1.7% in 2024, and the economic growth rate of emerging markets and developing 12 China Merchants Port Group Co., Ltd. Interim Report 2024 economies is expected to stabilize at 4.3% in 2024 and 2025. In the second half of 2024, with the strengthened macroeconomic policies, rapid cultivation for new momentum, acceleration in unleashing of dividends of reformation, acceleration in unleashing of dividends of opening-up and acceleration in narrowing output gaps in China, its economy manages to maintain a steady growth. However, China is still in a critical period of economic recovery, transformation and upgrading, and factors such as unbalanced and insufficient domestic development that restrict high-quality development still exist to varying degrees. In the next stage, the Chinese government will adhere to the general principle of seeking progress while maintaining stability, focus on promoting high-quality development, stimulate market vitality and endogenous driving forces with greater efforts, consolidate and strengthen the positive state of the economic recovery to promote sustained and healthy economic development. (2) Trend analysis of the port and shipping industry In the first half of 2024, uncertainties in the container shipping market increased, as international freight rates underwent a roller coaster ride. On the supply side, according to data from Alphaliner, the total capacity of global container vessels exceeded 30 million TEUs for the first time as of the first half of 2024, with a net increase of 1.61 million TEUs in container vessel capacity, accounting for about 5.3% of the total container capacity. The growth rate of container vessel capacity is expected to be 10.6% in 2024. On the demand side, the growth rate of global port container throughput will reach 3.0% in 2024. Based on the supply and demand structure, the container shipping market in 2024 was expected to have an oversupply. However, due to external disturbances such as the Red Sea crisis, the effective capacity gap on main routes has widened, and demand growth is stronger than expected. Liner companies expect that port congestion and capacity shortage will continue in the short term, and freight rates will remain high. Nevertheless, given the complex and ever-changing market landscape and the continued structural overcapacity, there is limited room for freight rate increases. Moreover, mainstream shipping companies are actively changing their business strategies to meet the increasingly diverse service needs of customers. They are continuously making efforts in key areas such as extending both ends of the logistics supply chain, shipping finance and digital intelligence, as well as green and low-carbon initiatives, aiming to provide customers with more efficient and higher quality services across a broader range of business scopes. The shipping market is entering a new competitive phase. Driven by the recovery of the global economy and trade, as well as the upward trend in the international shipping market, the global port industry maintained a high growth rate, with container throughput at major hub ports increasing to varying degrees. According to the data from Alphaliner, for example, the world’s top 20 ports (excluding Port of Tanger Med and Ho Chi Minh Port, the statistics of which are not available) saw varying degrees of growth across all regions in the first quarter of 2024. Among which, the ports in Greater China achieved a throughput of 56.07 million TEUs, representing an increase of 8.8% year-on-year; the ports in Southeast Asia achieved a throughput of 18.59 million TEUs, representing an increase of 10.8% year-on-year; the ports in Europe and North America achieved throughput of 6.58 million TEUs and 4.38 million TEUs respectively, representing increases of 4.0% and 23.2% year-on-year; the ports in the Middle East (Dubai Port) and Northeast Asia (Busan Port) achieved throughput of 3.63 million TEUs and 6.01 million TEUs respectively, representing increases of 3.5% and 5.9% year-on-year. Thanks to the 13 China Merchants Port Group Co., Ltd. Interim Report 2024 stable growth of China’s foreign trade imports and exports, the container throughput growth rate of Chinese ports outperformed the same period last year. According to the data published by the Ministry of Transport of China, the accumulated container throughput handled by ports in China reached 161.84 million TEUs from January to June 2024, representing an increase of 8.5% year-on- year, which was 3.7 percentage points higher than the same period last year. Of which, the accumulated container throughput handled by coastal ports reached 142.13 million TEUs, representing a year-on-year increase of 8.6%, which is an increase of 4.4 percentage points as compared to the same period last year. (3) The Company’s industry position The Company is the global leading port investor, developer and operator, as one of the top port operators in the world, and has the resource endowment and unique advantages to build a world- class comprehensive port service provider. In terms of scale, the Company has established a relatively complete port network at major hub locations along coastal China, with its presence in 51 ports in 26 countries and regions including Asia, Africa, Europe, Oceania, South and North America. In the first half of 2024, the Company's equity throughput of containers reached 26.98 million TEUs, ranking among the top global port operators. In terms of quality, the master terminals controlled by the Company have occupied various market and regional leading positions, continued to promote ESG construction, and strived to create an ESG port benchmark in the industry. In addition, leveraging on the good ground of port technology and based on the TOS system self-developed by CMPort, the Company has worked out the worldwide first full-case, full-time, all-regime and multi- factor traditional container terminal upgrading solution, and has built the trade facilitation platform for the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area through blockchain technology, which has been extended to 30 terminals to help enhance the trade facilitation level in the Greater Bay Area. In terms of performance, the Company has continually promoted high-quality development and has been an industry leader in terms of net profit margin and overall labour productivity and other indicators.

Basis of accounting and principle of measurement The Group has adopted the accrual basis of accounting. Except for financial instruments which are measured at fair value, the Group adopts the historical cost as the principle of measurement of the financial statements. Upon being restructured into a stock company, the fixed assets and intangible assets initially contributed by the state-owned shareholders are recognized based on the valuation amounts confirmed by the state-owned assets administration department. Where assets are impaired, provisions for asset impairment are made in accordance with the relevant requirements. Where the historical cost is adopted as the measurement basis, assets are recorded at the amount of cash or cash equivalents paid or the fair value of the consideration given to acquire them at the time of their acquisition. Liabilities are recorded at the amount of proceeds or assets received or the contractual amounts for assuming the present obligation, or, at the amounts of cash or cash equivalents expected to be paid to settle the liabilities in the normal course of business. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, regardless of whether that price is directly observable or estimated using valuation technique. Fair value measurement and/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 utilize such assets to generate most economic benefits, or the ability to sell such assets to other market participants who are able to best utilize the assets to generate economic benefits is taken into account. For financial assets of which transaction prices are the fair value on initial recognition, and of which valuation technique involving unobservable input is used in subsequent measurement, the valuation technique in the course of valuation is adjusted to enable the result of initial recognition based on the valuation technique equal to the transaction price. Fair value measurements are categorized into Level 1, 2 or 3 based on the degree to which the inputs to the fair value measurements are observable and the significance of the inputs to the fair value measurement in its entirety, which are described as follows: Level 1 inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity can access at the measurement date; Level 2 inputs are inputs, other than quoted prices included within Level 1, that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; and Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. - 15 - CHINA MERCHANTS PORT GROUP CO., LTD.

Business combinations Business combinations are classified into business combinations involving enterprises under common control and business combinations not involving enterprises under common control. 6.1 Business combinations involving enterprises under common control A business combination involving enterprises under common control is a business combination in which all of the combining enterprises are ultimately controlled by the same party or parties both before and after the combination, and that control is not transitory. Assets and liabilities obtained shall be measured at their respective carrying amounts as recorded by the combining entities at the date of the combination. The difference between the carrying amount of the net assets obtained and the carrying amount of the consideration paid for the combination is adjusted to the share premium in capital reserve. If the share premium is not sufficient to absorb the difference, any excess shall be adjusted against retained earnings. Costs that are directly attributable to the combination are charged to profit or loss in the period in which they are incurred. 6.2 Business combinations not involving enterprises under common control and goodwill A business combination not involving enterprises under common control is a business combination in which all of the combining enterprises are not ultimately controlled by the same party or parties before and after the combination. The cost of combination is the aggregate of the fair values, at the acquisition date, of the assets given, liabilities incurred or assumed, and equity securities issued by the acquirer, in exchange for control of the acquiree. Where a business combination not involving enterprises under common control is achieved in stages that involve multiple transactions, the cost of combination is the sum of the consideration paid at the acquisition date and the fair value at the acquisition date of the acquirer's previously held interest in the acquiree. The intermediary expenses (fees in respect of auditing, legal services, valuation and consultancy services, etc.) and other administrative expenses attributable to the business combination are recognized in profit or loss in the periods when they are incurred. The acquiree's identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities acquired by the acquirer in a business combination that meet the recognition criteria shall be measured at fair value at the acquisition date. - 16 - CHINA MERCHANTS PORT GROUP CO., LTD. NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE PERIOD FROM 1 JANUARY TO 30 JUNE 2024 (Unless otherwise specified, the monetary unit shall be RMB) (IV) SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES - continued 6. Business combinations - continued 6.2 Business combinations not involving enterprises under common control and goodwill - continued When a business combination contract provides for the acquirer's recovery of consideration previously paid contingent on one or multiple future event(s), the Group recognizes the contingent consideration provided in the contract as an asset, as part of the consideration transferred in the business combination, and includes it in the cost of business combination at the fair value at the acquisition date. Within 12 months after the acquisition, where the contingent consideration needs to be adjusted as new or further evidences are obtained in respect of the circumstances existed at the acquisition date, the adjustment shall be recognized and the amount originally recognized in goodwill or non-operating income shall be adjusted. A change in or adjustment to the contingent consideration under other circumstances shall be accounted for in accordance with Accounting Standards for Business Enterprise No. 22 - Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement and Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises No. 13 - Contingencies. Any change or adjustment 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's identifiable net assets, the difference is treated as an asset and recognized as goodwill, which is measured at cost on initial recognition. Where the cost of combination is less than the acquirer's interest in the fair value of the acquiree's identifiable net assets, the acquirer reassesses the measurement of the fair values of the acquiree's identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities and measurement of the cost of combination. If after that reassessment, the cost of combination is still less than the acquirer's interest in the fair value of the acquiree's identifiable net assets, the acquirer recognizes the remaining difference immediately in profit or loss for the current period. If either the fair values of identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities acquired in a combination or the cost of business combination can be determined only provisionally by the end of the period in which the business combination was affected, the acquirer recognizes and measures the combination using those provisional values. Any adjustments to those provisional values within twelve months after the acquisition date are treated as if they had been recognized and measured on the acquisition date. Goodwill arising from a business combination is measured at cost less accumulated impairment losses, and is presented separately in the consolidated financial statements. - 17 - CHINA MERCHANTS PORT GROUP CO., LTD.

Consolidated financial statements 7.1 Determination criteria of control Control exists when the investor has power over the investee; is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee; and has the ability to use its power over the investee to affect its returns. The Group reassesses whether or not it controls an investee if facts and circumstances indicate that there are changes in the above elements of the definition of control. 7.2 Preparation of consolidated financial statements The scope of consolidation in the consolidated financial statements is determined on the basis of control. Consolidation of a subsidiary begins when the Group obtains control over the subsidiary and ceases when the Group loses control of the subsidiary. For a subsidiary already disposed of by the Group, the operating results and cash flows before the date of disposal (the date when control is lost) are included in the consolidated income statement and consolidated cash flow statement, as appropriate. For subsidiaries acquired through a business combination involving enterprises not under common control, the operating results and cash flows from the acquisition date (the date when control is obtained) are included in the consolidated income statement and consolidated cash flow statement, as appropriate. No matter when the business combination occurs in the reporting period, subsidiaries acquired through a business combination involving enterprises under common control or the party being absorbed under merger by absorption are included in the Group's scope of consolidation as if they had been included in the scope of consolidation from the date when they first came under the common control of the ultimate controlling party. Their operating results and cash flows from the date when they first came under the common control of the ultimate controlling party are included in the consolidated income statement and consolidated cash flow statement, as appropriate. The significant accounting policies and accounting periods adopted by the subsidiaries are determined based on the uniform accounting policies and accounting periods set out by the Company. Where the accounting policies and accounting periods adopted by subsidiaries are inconsistent with those of the Company, appropriate adjustments are made to the subsidiaries' financial statements in accordance with the accounting policies of the Company. All significant intra-group balances and transactions are eliminated on consolidation. - 18 - CHINA MERCHANTS PORT GROUP CO., LTD. NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE PERIOD FROM 1 JANUARY TO 30 JUNE 2024 (Unless otherwise specified, the monetary unit shall be RMB) (IV) SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES - continued 7. Consolidated financial statements - continued 7.2 Preparation of consolidated financial statements - continued The portion of subsidiaries' equity that is not attributable to the Company is treated as minority interests and presented as "minority interests" in the consolidated balance sheet under the line item of shareholders' equity. The portion of net profits or losses of subsidiaries for the period attributable to minority interests is presented as "minority interests" in the consolidated income statement under the line item of "net profit". The portion of comprehensive income of subsidiaries for the period attributable to minority interests is presented as "total comprehensive income attributable to minority shareholders" in the consolidated income statement under the line item of "total comprehensive income". When the amount of loss for the period attributable to the minority shareholders of a subsidiary exceeds the minority shareholders' portion of the opening balance of owners' equity of the subsidiary, 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 the loss of control over the subsidiary is accounted for as equity transactions. The carrying amounts of the Company's interests and minority interests are adjusted to reflect the changes in their relative interests in the subsidiary. The difference between the amount by which the minority interests are adjusted and the fair value of the consideration paid or received is adjusted to capital reserve. If the capital reserve is not sufficient to absorb the difference, the excess is adjusted against retained earnings. For the stepwise acquisition of equity interest till acquiring control after a few transactions and leading to business combination not involving enterprises under common control, it shall be dealt with based on whether it belongs to 'package deal': if it belongs to 'package deal', it will be accounted for as a transactions to acquire control; if it does not belong to 'package deal', it will be accounted for as a transaction to acquire control on acquisition date, and the fair value of acquiree' shares held before acquisition date will be revalued, and the difference between fair value and carrying amount will be recognized in profit or loss of the current period; if acquiree' shares held before acquisition date involve changes in other comprehensive income and other changes in owners' equity under equity method, it will be transferred to income of acquisition date. When the Group loses control over a subsidiary due to disposal of equity investment or other reasons, any retained interest is re-measured at its fair value at the date when control is lost. The difference between (i) the aggregate of the consideration received on disposal and the fair value of any retained interest and (ii) the share of the former subsidiary's net assets cumulatively calculated from the acquisition date according to the original proportion of ownership interests is recognized as investment income 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 to investment income in the period in which control is lost. - 19 - CHINA MERCHANTS PORT GROUP CO., LTD.

Consolidated financial statements - continued 7.2 Preparation of consolidated financial statements - continued When the Group loses control of a subsidiary in two or more arrangements (transactions), terms and conditions of the arrangements (transactions) and their economic effects are considered. One or more of the following indicate that the Group shall account for the multiple arrangements as a 'package deal': (i) they are entered into at the same time or in contemplation of each other; (ii) they form a complete transaction designed to achieve an overall commercial effect; (iii) the occurrence of one transaction is dependent on the occurrence of at least one other transaction; (iv) one transaction alone is not economically justified, but it is economically justified when considered together with other transactions. Where the transactions of disposal of equity investments in a subsidiary until the loss of control are assessed as a package deal, these transactions are accounted for as one transaction of disposal of a subsidiary with loss of control. Before losing control, the difference of consideration received on disposal and the share of net assets of the subsidiary continuously calculated from acquisition date is recognized as other comprehensive income. When losing control, the cumulated other comprehensive income is transferred to profit or loss of the period of losing control. If the transactions of disposal of equity investments in a subsidiary are not assessed as a package deal, these transactions are accounted for as unrelated transactions. 8. Joint arrangements There are two types of joint arrangements - joint operations and joint ventures. The classification is based on the rights and obligations of the parties under the joint venture arrangement, taking into account factors such as the structure, legal form and contractual terms of the arrangement. A joint operation is a joint arrangement whereby the parties that have joint control of the arrangement have rights to the assets, and obligations for the liabilities, relating to the arrangement. A joint venture is a joint arrangement whereby the parties that have joint control of the arrangement have rights to the net assets of the arrangement. The Group accounts for investments in joint ventures using equity method. Refer to Note (IV), 15.3.2 "Long-term equity investments accounted for using the equity method" for details. When a group entity undertakes its activities under joint operations, the Group as a joint operator recognizes in relation to its interest in a joint operation: - its assets, including its share of any assets held jointly; its liabilities, including its share of any liabilities incurred jointly; its revenue from the sale of its share of the output arising from the joint operation; its share of the revenue from the sale of the output by the joint operation; and its expenses, including its share of any expenses incurred jointly. The Group accounts for the assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses relating to its interest in a joint operation in accordance with the accounting standards applicable to the particular assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. - 20 - CHINA MERCHANTS PORT GROUP CO., LTD.

Cash and cash equivalents Cash comprises cash on hand and deposits that can be readily withdrawn on demand. Cash equivalents are the Group's short-term (generally due within 3 months since the acquisition date), highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. 10. Transactions denominated in foreign currencies and translation of financial statements denominated in foreign currencies 10.1 Transactions denominated in foreign currencies A foreign currency transaction is recorded, on initial recognition, by applying the spot exchange rate on the date of the transaction. At the balance sheet date, foreign currency monetary items are translated into functional currency using the spot exchange rates at the balance sheet date. Exchange differences arising from the differences between the spot exchange rates prevailing at the balance sheet date and those on initial recognition or at the previous balance sheet date are recognized in profit or loss for the period, except that (1) exchange differences related to a specific-purpose borrowing denominated in foreign currency that qualify for capitalization are capitalized as part of the cost of the qualifying asset during the capitalization period; (2) exchange differences related to hedging instruments for the purpose of hedging against foreign currency risks are accounted for using hedge accounting; (3) exchange differences arising from changes in the carrying amounts (other than the amortized cost) of monetary items at fair value through other comprehensive income are recognized as other comprehensive income. When the consolidated financial statements include foreign operation(s), if there is foreign currency monetary item constituting a net investment in a foreign operation, exchange differences arising from changes in exchange rates are recognized as "exchange differences arising from translation of financial statements denominated in foreign currencies" in other comprehensive income, and in profit or loss for the period upon disposal of the foreign operation. Foreign currency non-monetary items measured at historical cost are translated to the amounts in functional currency at the spot exchange rates on the dates of the transactions; the amounts in functional currency remain unchanged. Foreign currency non-monetary items measured at fair value are re-translated at the spot exchange rate on the date when the fair value is determined. Difference between the re-translated functional currency amount and the original functional currency amount is treated as changes in fair value (including changes in exchange rate) and is recognized in profit or loss or as other comprehensive income. - 21 - CHINA MERCHANTS PORT GROUP CO., LTD.

Transactions denominated in foreign currencies and translation of financial statements denominated in foreign currencies - continued 10.2 Translation of financial statements denominated in foreign currencies For the purpose of preparing the consolidated financial statements, financial statements of a foreign operation are translated from the foreign currency into RMB using the following method: assets and liabilities on the balance sheet are translated at the spot exchange rate prevailing at the balance sheet date; shareholders' equity items except for unappropriated profit are translated at the spot exchange rates at the dates on which such items arose; all items in the income statement as well as items reflecting the distribution of profits are translated at the average exchange rates of the accounting period of the consolidated financial statements; the opening balance of unappropriated profit is the translated closing balance of the previous year's unappropriated profit; the closing balance of unappropriated profit is calculated and presented on the basis of each translated income statement and profit distribution item. The difference between the translated assets and the aggregate of liabilities and shareholders' equity items is recognized as other comprehensive income and included in shareholders' equity. Cash flows arising from a transaction in foreign currency and the cash flows of a foreign subsidiary are translated at average exchange rate during the accounting period of consolidated financial statements. The effect of exchange rate changes on cash and cash equivalents is regarded as a reconciling item and presented separately in the cash flow statement as "effect of exchange rate changes on cash and cash equivalents". The closing balances and the comparative figures of previous year are presented at the translated amounts in the previous year's financial statements. On disposal of the Group's entire interest in a foreign operation, or upon a loss of control over a foreign operation due to disposal of certain interest in it or other reasons, the Group transfers the accumulated exchange differences arising from translation of financial statements of this foreign operation attributable to the owners' equity of the Company and presented under other comprehensive income, to profit or loss in the period in which the disposal occurs. In case of a disposal of part equity investments or other reason leading to lower interest percentage in foreign operations but does not result in the Group losing control over a foreign operation, the exchange differences arising from the translation of foreign currency statements related to this disposed part are re-attributed to minority interests and are not recognized in profit or loss. For partial disposals of equity interests in foreign operations which are associates or joint ventures, the proportionate share of the accumulated exchange differences arising from translation of statements of foreign operations is reclassified to profit or loss. - 22 - CHINA MERCHANTS PORT GROUP CO., LTD. NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE PERIOD FROM 1 JANUARY TO 30 JUNE 2024 (Unless otherwise specified, the monetary unit shall be RMB) (IV) SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES - continued 11. Financial instruments The Group recognizes a financial asset or a financial liability when it becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the financial instrument. For financial assets purchased or sold in regular ways, assets to be received and liabilities to be assumed are recognized on the transaction date or assets sold are derecognized on that date. Financial assets and financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value (the method for determining the fair values of the financial assets and financial liabilities is set out in related disclosures under "basis of accounting and principle of measurement" in note(IV) 5). For financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs are immediately recognized in profit or loss. For other financial assets and financial liabilities, transaction costs are included in their initial recognized amounts. Upon initial recognition of contract assets, notes receivable and accounts receivable that do not contain significant financing component or without considering the financing component included in the contract with a term not exceeding one year under the Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises No. 14 - Revenue ("Revenue Standards"), the Group adopts the transaction price as defined in the Revenue Standards for initial measurement. The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortized cost of a financial asset or a financial liability and of allocating the interest income or interest expenses over the relevant accounting periods. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash flows through the expected life of the financial asset or financial liability to the gross carrying amount of the financial asset or to the amortized cost of the financial liability. When calculating the effective interest rate, the Group estimates future cash flows considering all contractual terms of the financial asset or financial liability (such as repayment in advance, extension, call option or other similar options etc.) (without considering the expected credit losses). The amortized cost of a financial asset or a financial liability is the amount of a financial asset or a financial liability initially recognized net of principal repaid, plus or less the cumulative amortized amount arising from amortization of the difference between the amount initially recognized and the amount at the maturity date using the effective interest method, net of cumulative credit loss allowance (only applicable to financial assets). 11.1 Classification, recognition and measurement of financial assets Subsequent to initial recognition, the Group's financial assets of various categories are subsequently measured at amortized cost, at fair value through other comprehensive income or at fair value through profit or loss. - 23 - CHINA MERCHANTS PORT GROUP CO., LTD.

Financial instruments - continued 11.1 Classification, recognition and measurement of financial assets - continued If the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding, and the financial asset is held within a business model whose objective is achieved by collecting contractual cash flows, the Group classifies such financial asset as financial assets at amortized cost, which include cash and bank balances, notes receivable, accounts receivable, other receivables and long-term receivables etc. If the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding, and the financial asset is held within a business model whose objective is achieved by both collecting contractual cash flows and selling the financial asset, the Group classifies such financial asset as financial assets at FVTOCI. The accounts receivable and notes receivable classified as at FVTOCI upon acquisition are presented under receivables financing, while the remaining items due within one year (inclusive) upon acquisition are presented under other current assets. Other financial assets of such type are presented as other debt investments if they are due after one year since the acquisition, or presented under non-current assets due within one year if they are due within one year (inclusive) since the balance sheet date. On initial recognition, the Group may irrevocably designate non-trading equity instruments, other than contingent consideration recognized through business combination not involving enterprises under common control, as financial assets at FVTOCI on an individual basis. Such financial assets at FVTOCI are presented as investments in other equity instruments. A financial asset is classified as held for trading if one of the following conditions is satisfied: It has been acquired principally for the purpose of selling in the near term; or On initial recognition, it is part of a portfolio of identified financial instruments that the Group manages together and there is objective evidence that the Group has a recent actual pattern of short-term profit-taking; or It is a derivative that is not a financial guarantee contract or designated and effective as a hedging instrument. Financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss ("FVTPL") include those classified as financial assets at FVTPL and those designated as financial assets at FVTPL: Financial assets not satisfying the criteria of classification as financial assets at amortized cost and financial assets at FVTOCI are classified as financial assets at FVTPL. Upon initial recognition, the Group may irrevocably designate the financial assets as at FVTPL if doing so eliminates or significantly reduces accounting mismatch. - 24 - CHINA MERCHANTS PORT GROUP CO., LTD.

Financial instruments - continued 11.1 Classification, recognition and measurement of financial assets - continued Financial assets at FVTPL other than derivative financial assets are presented as financial assets held-for-trading. Financial assets with a maturity over one year since the balance sheet date (or without a fixed maturity) and expected to be held for over one year are presented under other non- current financial assets. 11.1.1 Financial assets measured at amortized cost Financial assets measured at amortized cost are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. Gain or loss arising from impairment or derecognition is recognized in profit or loss. For financial assets measured at amortized cost, the Group recognizes interest income using effective interest method. The Group calculates and recognizes interest income through gross carrying amount of financial assets multiplying effective interest rate, except for the following circumstances: For purchased or originated credit-impaired financial assets, the Group calculates and recognizes the interest income based on amortized cost of the financial asset and the effective interest rate through credit adjustment since initial recognition. 11.1.2 Financial assets at FVTOCI For financial assets classified as at FVTOCI, except for the impairment losses or gains and the interest income and exchange losses or gains calculated using the effective interest method which are included in profit or loss for the period, the changes in fair value are included in other comprehensive income. The amounts included in profit or loss for each period are equivalent to that as if the financial assets have been always measured at amortized cost. Upon derecognition, the accumulated gains or losses previously included in other comprehensive income are transferred to profit or loss for the period. Changes in fair value of non-trading equity instrument investments designated as financial assets at FVTOCI are recognized in other comprehensive income, and the cumulative gains or losses previously recognized in other comprehensive income allocated to the part derecognized are transferred and included in retained earnings. During the period in which the Group holds the non-trading equity instruments, revenue from dividends is recognized in profit or loss for the current period when (1) the Group has established the right of collecting dividends; (2) it is probable that the associated economic benefits will flow to the Group; and (3) the amount of dividends can be measured reliably. - 25 - CHINA MERCHANTS PORT GROUP CO., LTD.

For all contract assets, notes receivable and accounts receivable arising from transactions regulated by Revenue Standards, and lease receivables arising from transactions regulated by the Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises No. 21 - Leases, the Group recognizes the provision for losses at an amount equivalent to lifetime ECL. For other financial instruments (other than purchased or originated credit-impaired financial assets), the Group assesses the changes in credit risk since initial recognition of relevant financial instruments at each balance sheet date. If the credit risk has increased significantly since initial recognition of the financial instruments, the Group recognizes the provision for losses at an amount equivalent to lifetime ECL; if the credit risk has not increased significantly since initial recognition of the financial instruments, the Group recognizes the provision for losses at an amount equivalent to 12-month ECL. The increase or reversal of credit loss provision for financial assets other than those classified as at FVTOCI is recognized as impairment loss or gain and included in profit or loss for the period. For financial assets classified as at FVTOCI, the credit loss provision is recognized in other comprehensive income and the impairment loss or gain is included in profit or loss for the period without reducing the carrying amount of the financial assets in the balance sheet. Where the Group has measured the provision for losses at an amount equivalent to lifetime ECL of a financial instrument in prior accounting period, but the financial instrument no longer satisfies the criteria of significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition at the current balance sheet date, the Group recognizes the provision for losses of the financial instrument at an amount equivalent to 12-month ECL at the current balance sheet date, with any resulting reversal of provision for losses recognized as impairment gains in profit or loss for the period. - 26 - CHINA MERCHANTS PORT GROUP CO., LTD.

Financial instruments - continued 11.2 Impairment of financial instruments - continued 11.2.1 Significant increase of credit risk The Group uses reasonable and supportable forward-looking information to assess whether the credit risk has increased significantly since initial recognition by comparing the risk of a default occurring on the financial instrument at the balance sheet date with the risk of a default occurring on the financial instrument at the date of initial recognition. For loan commitments and financial guarantee contracts, the date on which the Group becomes a party to the irrevocable commitment is considered to be the date of initial recognition in the application of criteria related to the financial instrument for impairment. In particular, the following information is taken into account when assessing whether credit risk has increased significantly: (1) Significant changes in internal price indicators resulting from changes in credit risk; (2) Significant changes in the rates or other terms of an existing financial instrument if the instrument was newly originated or issued at the balance sheet date (such as more stringent covenants, increased amounts of collateral or guarantees, or higher rate of return, etc.); (3) Significant changes in the external market indicators of credit risk of the same financial instrument or similar financial instruments with the same expected duration. These indicators include: credit spreads, credit default swap prices against borrower, length of time and extent to which the fair value of financial assets is less than their amortized cost, and other market information related to the borrower (such as the borrower's debt instruments or changes in the price of equity instruments); (4) An actual or expected significant change in the financial instrument's external credit rating; (5) An actual or expected decrease in the internal credit rating for the debtor; (6) Adverse changes in business, financial or economic conditions that are expected to cause a significant decrease in the debtor's ability to meet its debt obligations; (7) An actual or expected significant change in the operating results of the debtor; (8) Significant increase in credit risk of other financial instruments issued by the same debtor; (9) Significant adverse changes in the regulatory, economic, or technological environment of the debtor; (10) Significant changes in the value of the collaterals or the quality of guarantees or credit enhancements provided by third parties, which are expected to reduce the debtor's economic motives to repay within the time limit specified in contract or affect the probability of default; (11) Significant change in the debtor's economic motives to repay within the time limit specified in contract; (12) Expected changes to loan contract, including the exemption or revision of contractual obligations, the granting of interest-free periods, the jump in interest rates, the requirement for additional collateral or guarantees, or other changes in the contractual framework for financial instruments that may result from the breach of contract; - 27 - CHINA MERCHANTS PORT GROUP CO., LTD.

Financial instruments - continued 11.2 Impairment of financial instruments - continued 11.2.1 Significant increase of credit risk - continued (13) Significant change in the expected performance and repayment of the debtor; (14) Significant change in the method used by the Group to manage the credit of financial instruments. The Group assumes that the credit risk on a financial instrument has not increased significantly since initial recognition if the financial instrument is determined to have lower credit risk at the balance sheet date. A financial instrument is determined to have lower credit risk if: i) it has a lower risk of default, ii) the borrower has a strong capacity to meet its contractual cash flow obligations in the near term and iii) adverse changes in economic and business conditions in the longer term may, but will not necessarily, reduce the ability of the borrower to fulfil its contractual cash flow obligations. 11.2.2 Credit-impaired financial assets When an event or several events that are expected to have adverse impact on the future cash flows of the financial assets have occurred, the financial assets become credit-impaired. The evidences of credit impairment of financial assets include the following observable information: (1) Significant financial difficulty of the issuer or debtor. (2) A breach of contract by the debtor, such as a default or delinquency in interest or principal payments. (3) The creditor, for economic or legal reasons relating to the debtor's financial difficulty, granting a concession to the debtor. (4) It becomes probable that the debtor will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganizations. (5) The disappearance of an active market for the financial asset because of financial difficulties of the issuer or the debtor. (6) Purchase or origination of a financial asset with a large scale of discount, which reflects the fact of credit loss. Based on the Group's internal credit risk management, the Group considers an event of default occurs when information developed internally or obtained from external sources indicates that the debtor is unlikely to pay its creditors, including the Group, in full (without taking into account any collaterals held by the Group). - 28 - CHINA MERCHANTS PORT GROUP CO., LTD.

Financial instruments - continued 11.2 Impairment of financial instruments - continued 11.2.3 Determination of expected credit loss The Group determines the ECL of relevant financial instruments using the following methods: For financial assets, the credit loss is the present value of the difference between the contractual cash flows that are due to the Group under the contract and the cash flows that the Group expects to receive; For undrawn loan commitments (refer to Note IV, 11.4.1.3 for the detail of accounting policies), the credit loss is the present value of the difference between the contractual cash flows that are due to the Group if the holder of the loan commitments draws down the loan, and the cash flows that the Group expects to receive if the loan is drawn down. The Group's estimation of the ECL for loan commitments is consistent with its expectation of the loan commitments drawn down. For financial guarantee contracts (refer to Note IV, 11.4.1.3 for the detail of accounting policies), the credit loss is the present value of the expected payments to reimburse the holder for the credit loss incurred less any amounts that the Group expects to receive from the holder, the debtor or any other party. For financial assets credit-impaired at the balance sheet date, but not purchased or originated credit-impaired, the credit loss is the difference between the gross carrying amount of the financial assets and the present value of estimated future cash flows discounted at the original effective interest rate. The factors reflected by the Group's measurement of ECL of financial instruments include: unbiased probability weighted average amount recognized by assessing a series of possible results; time value of money; reasonable and supportable information related to historical events, current condition and forecast of future economic position that is available without undue cost or effort at the balance sheet date. 11.2.4 Write-down of financial assets When the Group no longer reasonably expects that the contractual cash flows of financial assets can be collected in aggregate or in part, the Group will directly write down the gross carrying amount of the financial assets, which constitutes derecognition of relevant financial assets. 11.3 Transfer of financial assets The Group will derecognize a financial asset if one of the following conditions is satisfied: (i) the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire; (ii) the financial asset has been transferred and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset is transferred to the transferee; or (iii) although the financial asset has been transferred, the Group neither transfers nor retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset but has not retained control of the financial asset. - 29 - CHINA MERCHANTS PORT GROUP CO., LTD.

Financial instruments - continued 11.3 Transfer of financial assets - continued If the Group neither transfers nor retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of a financial asset, and it retains control of the financial asset, the Group will recognize the financial asset to the extent of its continuing involvement in the transferred financial asset and recognize an associated liability. The Group will measure relevant liabilities as follows: For transferred financial assets carried at amortized cost, the carrying amount of relevant liabilities is the carrying amount of financial assets transferred with continuing involvement less amortized cost of the Group's retained rights (if the Group retains relevant rights upon transfer of financial assets) with addition of amortized cost of obligations assumed by the Group (if the Group assumes relevant obligations upon transfer of financial assets). Relevant liabilities are not designated as financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss. For transferred financial assets carried at fair value, the carrying amount of relevant liabilities is the carrying amount of financial assets transferred with continuing involvement less fair value of the Group's retained rights (if the Group retains relevant rights upon transfer of financial assets) with addition of fair value of obligations assumed by the Group (if the Group assumes relevant obligations upon transfer of financial assets). Accordingly, the fair value of relevant rights and obligations shall be measured on an individual basis. For the transfer of a financial asset in its entirety that satisfies the derecognition criteria, the difference between (1) the carrying amount of the financial asset transferred and (2) the sum of the consideration received from the transfer and any cumulative gain or loss that has been recognized in other comprehensive income, is recognized in profit or loss. Where the transferred assets are non-trading equity instrument investments designated as at FVTOCI, cumulative gains or losses previously recognized in other comprehensive income are transferred out and included in retained earnings. If a part of the transferred financial asset qualifies for derecognition, the overall carrying amount of the financial asset prior to transfer is allocated between the part that continues to be recognized and the part that is derecognized, based on the respective fair value of those parts at the date of transfer. The difference between (1) the carrying amount allocated to the part derecognized on the date of derecognition and (2) the sum of the consideration received for the part derecognized and any cumulative gain or loss allocated to the part derecognized which has been previously recognized in other comprehensive income, is recognized in profit or loss. Where the transferred assets are non-trading equity instrument investments designated as at FVTOCI, cumulative gains or losses previously recognized in other comprehensive income are transferred out and included in retained earnings. For a transfer of a financial asset in its entirety that does not satisfy the derecognition criteria, the Group continues to recognize the transferred financial asset in its entirety. The consideration received from transfer of assets is recognized as a liability upon receipt. - 30 - CHINA MERCHANTS PORT GROUP CO., LTD.

Financial instruments - continued 11.4 Classification of financial liabilities and equity instruments Financial instruments issued by the Group or their components are classified into financial liabilities or equity instruments on the basis of the substance of the contractual arrangements and the economic nature not only the legal form, together with the definition of financial liability and equity instrument on initial recognition. 11.4.1 Classification, recognition and measurement of financial liabilities On initial recognition, financial liabilities are classified into financial liabilities at FVTPL and other financial liabilities. 11.4.1.1 Financial liabilities at FVTPL Financial liabilities at FVTPL consist of financial liabilities held for trading (including derivatives classified as financial liabilities) and those designated as at FVTPL. Except for derivative financial liabilities presented separately, the financial liabilities at FVTPL are presented as held- for-trading financial liabilities. A financial liability is classified as held for trading if one of the following conditions is satisfied: It has been acquired principally for the purpose of repurchasing in the near term; or On initial recognition, it is part of a portfolio of identified financial instruments that the Group manages together and there is objective evidence that the Group has a recent actual pattern of short-term profit-taking; or It is a derivative that is not a financial guarantee contract or designated and effective as a hedging instrument. A financial liability may be designated as at FVTPL on initial recognition when one of the following conditions is satisfied: (i) Such designation eliminates or significantly reduces accounting mismatch; or (ii) The Group makes management and performance evaluation on a fair value basis, in accordance with the Group's formally documented risk management or investment strategy, and reports to key management personnel on that basis. (iii) The qualified hybrid financial instrument combines financial asset with embedded derivatives. Held-for-trading financial liabilities are subsequently measured at fair value. Any gains or losses arising from changes in fair value and any dividends or interest expenses paid on the financial liabilities are recognized in profit or loss. - 31 - CHINA MERCHANTS PORT GROUP CO., LTD.

Financial instruments - continued 11.4 Classification of financial liabilities and equity instruments - continued 11.4.1 Classification, recognition and measurement of financial liabilities - continued 11.4.1.1 Financial liabilities at FVTPL - continued For a financial liability designated as at FVTPL, the amount of changes in fair value of the financial liability that are attributable to changes in the credit risk of that liability shall be presented in other comprehensive income, while other changes in fair value are included in profit or loss for the current period. Upon the derecognition of such financial liability, the accumulated amount of changes in fair value that are attributable to changes in the credit risk of that liability, which was recognized in other comprehensive income, is transferred to retained earnings. Any dividend or interest expense on the financial liabilities is recognized in profit or loss. If the accounting treatment for the impact of the change in credit risk of such financial liability in the above ways would create or enlarge an accounting mismatch in profit or loss, the Group shall present all gains or losses on that liability (including the effects of changes in the credit risk of that liability) in profit or loss for the period. For financial liabilities arising from contingent consideration recognized by the Group as the acquirer in the business combination not involving enterprises under common control, the Group measures such financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, and includes the changes in the financial liabilities in profit or loss for the period. 11.4.1.2 Other financial liabilities Except for financial liabilities, financial guarantee contracts and loan commitments arising from transfer of financial assets that do not meet the derecognition criteria or those arising from continuing involvement in the transferred financial assets, other financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortized cost, with gain or loss arising from derecognition or amortization recognized in profit or loss. If the modification or renegotiation for the contract by the Group and its counterparties does not result in derecognition of a financial liability subsequently measured at amortized cost but the changes in contractual cash flows, the Group will recalculate the carrying amount of the financial liability, with relevant gain or loss recognized in profit or loss. The Group will determine the carrying amount of the financial liability based on the present value of renegotiated or modified contractual cash flows discounted at the original effective interest rate of the financial liability. For all costs or expenses arising from modification or renegotiation of the contract, the Group will adjust the modified carrying amount of the financial liability and make amortization during the remaining term of the modified financial liability. - 32 - CHINA MERCHANTS PORT GROUP CO., LTD.

Financial instruments - continued 11.4 Classification of financial liabilities and equity instruments - continued 11.4.1 Classification, recognition and measurement of financial liabilities - continued 11.4.1.3 Financial guarantee contracts and loan commitments A financial guarantee contract is a contract that requires the issuer to make specified payments to reimburse the holder of the contract for a loss it incurs because a specified debtor fails to make payment when due in accordance with the original or modified terms of a debt instrument. Subsequent to initial recognition, financial guarantee contracts that are not designated as financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss or financial liabilities arising from transfer of financial assets that do not meet the derecognition criteria or those arising from continuing involvement in the transferred financial assets, and loan commitments to provide a loan at a below-market interest rate, which are not designated at fair value through profit or loss, are measured at the higher of: (1) amount of loss provision; and (2) the amount initially recognized less cumulative amortization amount determined based on the revenue standards. 11.4.2 Derecognition of financial liabilities The Group derecognizes a financial liability (or part of it) when the underlying present obligation (or part of it) is discharged. An agreement between the Group (the debtor) and the creditor to replace the original financial liability with a new financial liability with substantially different terms is accounted for as an extinguishment of the original financial liability and the recognition of a new financial liability. When the Group derecognizes a financial liability or a part of it, it recognizes the difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability (or part of the financial liability) derecognized and the consideration paid (including any non-cash assets transferred or new financial liabilities assumed) in profit or loss. 11.4.3 Equity instruments An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the Group after deducting all of its liabilities. Equity instruments issued (including refinanced), repurchased, sold and cancelled by the Group are recognized as changes in equity. Changes in fair value of equity instruments are not recognized by the Group. Transaction costs related to equity transactions are deducted from equity. The Group recognizes the distribution to holders of the equity instruments as distribution of profits, and dividends paid do not affect total amount of shareholders' equity. - 33 - CHINA MERCHANTS PORT GROUP CO., LTD.

Financial instruments - continued 11.5 Derivatives and embedded derivatives Derivatives include forward exchange contracts, currency swaps, interest rate swaps and foreign exchange options, etc. Derivatives are initially measured at fair value at the date when the derivative contracts are entered into and are subsequently measured at fair value. Derivatives embedded in hybrid contracts with a financial asset host are not separated by the Group. The hybrid contract shall apply the relevant accounting standards regarding the classification of financial assets as a whole. Derivatives embedded in hybrid contracts with hosts that are not financial assets are separated and treated as separate derivatives by the Group when they meet the following conditions: (1) the economic characteristics and risks of the embedded derivative are not closely related to those of the host contract; (2) a separate instrument with the same terms as the embedded derivative would meet the definition of a derivative; (3) the hybrid contracts are not measured at fair value through profit or loss. For the embedded derivative separated from the host contracts, the Group accounts for the host contracts in the hybrid contracts with applicable accounting standards. When the embedded derivatives whose fair value cannot be measured reliably by the Group according to the terms and conditions of the embedded derivatives, the fair value of such derivatives are measured at the difference between the fair value of the hybrid contracts and the fair value of the host contracts. By adopting the above method, if the embedded derivative cannot be measured on a stand-alone basis at the time when it is acquired or at subsequent balance sheet dates, the hybrid instrument is designated as financial instruments at fair value through profit or loss as a whole. 11.6 Offsetting financial assets and financial liabilities Where the Group has a legal right that is currently enforceable to set off the recognized financial assets and financial liabilities, and intends either to settle on a net basis, or to realize the financial asset and settle the financial liability simultaneously, a financial asset and a financial liability shall be offset and the net amount is presented in the balance sheet. Except for the above circumstances, financial assets and financial liabilities shall be presented separately in the balance sheet and shall not be offset. 11.7 Compound instruments For convertible bonds issued by the Group that contain both liabilities and conversion option that may convert the liabilities to its own equity instrument, upon initial recognition, the bonds are split into liabilities and conversion option which are separately recognized. Therein, the conversion option that exchanges a fixed amount of cash or other financial assets for a fixed amount of equity instruments is accounted for as an equity instrument. - 34 - CHINA MERCHANTS PORT GROUP CO., LTD.

Financial instruments - continued 11.7 Compound instruments - continued Upon initial recognition, the fair value of liability portion is determined based on the prevailing market price of the bonds containing no conversion option. The overall issue price of the convertible bonds net of the fair value of the liability portion is considered as the value of the conversion option that enables the bonds holder to convert the bonds to equity instruments, and is included in other equity instruments. The liability portion of the convertible bonds is subsequently measured at amortized cost using effective interest method; the value of the conversion option classified as equity instrument is remained in equity instrument. The expiry or conversion of convertible bonds will not result in loss or gain. The transaction costs incurred for issuance of the convertible bonds are allocated between the liability portion and equity instrument portion in proportion to their respective fair values. The transaction cost relating to the equity instrument portion is directly included in equity instrument; while the transaction cost relating to the liability portion is included in the carrying amount of the liability, and amortized over the lifetime of the convertible bonds using effective interest method. 11.8 Reclassification of financial instruments When the Group changes the business model to manage the financial assets, the financial assets affected will be reclassified and no financial liabilities will be reclassified. The financial assets are reclassified by the Group and are accounted for prospectively since the date of reclassification (i.e., the first date of the initial reporting period after the business model of which the financial assets are reclassified by the enterprise is changed). Where a financial asset at amortized cost is reclassified as a financial asset at fair value through profit or loss ("FVTPL") by the Group, such financial asset is measured at fair value at the date of reclassification and the difference between the original carrying amount and the fair value is recognized in profit or loss for the period. Where a financial asset at amortized cost is reclassified as a financial asset at fair value through other comprehensive income ("FVTOCI") by the Group, such financial asset is measured at fair value at the date of reclassification, and the difference between the original carrying amount and the fair value is recognized in other comprehensive income. Where a financial asset at FVTOCI is reclassified as a financial asset at amortized cost by the Group, the accumulated gains or losses previously recognized in other comprehensive income are transferred out and the fair value at the date of reclassification is adjusted. The adjusted fair value is determined as the new carrying amount, as if the financial asset has been always measured at amortized cost. The reclassification of the financial asset shall not affect its effective interest rate or the measurement of ECL. - 35 - CHINA MERCHANTS PORT GROUP CO., LTD.

Where a financial asset at FVTPL is reclassified as a financial asset at amortized cost by the Group, the fair value at the date of reclassification is determined as the new gross carrying amount. Where a financial asset at FVTPL is reclassified as a financial asset at FVTOCI by the Group, such financial asset continues to be measured at fair value. Where a financial asset at FVTPL is reclassified, the effective interest rate is determined on the basis of the fair value of the financial asset at the date of reclassification. 12. Receivables 12.1 Determination and accounting methods for expected credit losses of receivables The Group assesses the credit risk of receivables with significantly different credit risks on an individual basis, and determine the credit losses of receivables on a portfolio basis using an impairment matrix for other receivables. The amount of increase in or reversal of allowance for expected credit losses on receivables is included in profit or loss for the period as credit impairment losses or gains. 12.2 Categories of portfolios for which bad debt provision is assessed on a portfolio basis according to credit risk characteristics and the basis for determination The Group classifies receivables into groups A, B and C based on common risk characteristics. The common credit risk characteristics adopted by the Group include: type of financial instrument, credit risk rating, initial recognition date, remaining contractual term, industry of the debtor, geographical location of the debtor, etc. - 36 - CHINA MERCHANTS PORT GROUP CO., LTD.

Receivables - continued 12.2 Categories of portfolios for which bad debt provision is assessed on a portfolio basis according to credit risk characteristics and the basis for determination - continued The Group makes internal credit ratings on customers and determines expected loss rate of receivables. Basis for determining ratings and the expected loss rates are as follows: Internal credit Expected average Basis for determining portfolio rating loss rate (%) Customers can make repayments within credit term and have good credit A records based on historical experience. The probability of default on 0.00-0.10 payment of due amounts is extremely low in the foreseeable future. The customers may have overdue payment based on historical B 0.10-0.30 experience but they can make repayments. The evidence indicates that the overdue credit risks of the customers are C 0.30-50.00 significantly increased and there is probability of default on payment. 12.3 Determination criteria for provision of bad debts on an individual basis Internal credit Expected average Basis to determine the provision for bad debts on an individual basis ratings loss ratio (%) There is evidence showing that the receivables from customers are impaired, or that the customers are experiencing significant financial D 50.00-100.00 difficulties and thus the receivables will be irrecoverable in the foreseeable future. 13. Receivables financing Notes receivable classified as at FVTOCI should be listed as receivables financing within one year (including one year) from the date of acquisition. Those over one year should be listed as other debt investments. For related accounting policies, refer to Note (IV) 11 and Note (IV) 12. 14. Inventories 14.1 Categories of inventories, valuation method of inventories upon delivery, inventory count system, and amortization method for ow cost and short-lived consumable items and packaging materials 14.1.1 Categories of inventories The Group's inventories mainly include raw materials, merchandise and others. Inventories are initially measured at cost. Cost of inventories comprises all costs of purchase, costs of conversion and other expenditures incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition. - 37 - CHINA MERCHANTS PORT GROUP CO., LTD.

If the cost of inventories is higher than the net realizable value, a provision for decline in value of inventories is made. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs of completion, the estimated costs necessary to make the sale and relevant taxes. Net realizable value is determined on the basis of clear evidence obtained, after taking into consideration the purposes of inventories being held and effect of post balance sheet events. Provision for decline in value of inventories is made based on the excess of cost of inventory over its net realizable value on an item-by-item basis. After the provision for decline in value of inventories is made, if the circumstances that previously caused inventories to be written down below cost no longer exist so that the net realizable value of inventories is higher than their cost, the original provision for decline in value is reversed and the reversal is included in profit or loss for the period. - 38 - CHINA MERCHANTS PORT GROUP CO., LTD.

Long-term equity investments 15.1 Basis for determining joint control and significant influence over investee Control is archived when the Group has the power over the investee and has rights to variable returns from its involvement with the investee; and has the ability to use its power to affect its returns. Joint control is the contractually agreed sharing of control over an economic activity, and exists only when the strategic financial and operating policy decisions relating to the activity require the unanimous consent of the parties sharing control. Significant influence is the power to participate in the financial and operating policy decisions of the investee but is not control or joint control over those policies. When determining whether an investing enterprise is able to exercise control or significant influence over an investee, the effect of potential voting rights of the investee (for example, warrants and convertible debts) held by the investing enterprises or other parties that are currently exercisable or convertible shall be considered. 15.2 Determination of initial investment cost For a long-term equity investment acquired through business combination involving enterprises under common control, share of carrying amount of owners' equity of the acquiree in the consolidated financial statements of ultimate controlling party is recognized as initial investment cost of long-term equity investment at the date of combination. The difference between initial investment cost of long-term equity investment and cash paid, non-cash assets transferred and carrying amount of liabilities assumed, is adjusted in capital reserve. If the balance of capital reserve is not sufficient to absorb the difference, any excess is adjusted to retained earnings. If the consideration of the combination is satisfied by the issue of equity securities, the initial investment cost of the long-term equity investment is the share of carrying amount of owners' equity of the acquiree in the consolidated financial statements of ultimate controlling party at the date of combination. The aggregate face value of the shares issued is accounted for as share capital. The difference between the initial investment cost and the aggregate face value of the shares issued is adjusted to capital reserve. If the balance of capital reserve is not sufficient to absorb the difference, any excess is adjusted to retained earnings. Where equity interests in an acquiree are acquired in stages through multiple transactions ultimately constituting a business combination involving enterprises under common control, the acquirer shall determine if these transactions are considered to be a "package deal". If yes, these transactions are accounted for as a single transaction where control is obtained. If no, the initial investment cost of the long-term equity investment is the share of carrying amount of owners' equity of the acquiree in the consolidated financial statements of ultimate controlling party at the date of combination. The difference between the initial investment cost and the sum of carrying amount of equity investments previously held in the acquiree and the new investment cost is adjusted to capital reserve. If the balance of capital reserve is not sufficient to absorb the difference, any excess is adjusted to retained earnings. Other comprehensive income recognized for the previously held equity investments by accounting treatment of equity method or non-trading equity instrument investments designated as at FVTOCI is not subject to accounting treatment temporarily. - 39 - CHINA MERCHANTS PORT GROUP CO., LTD.

Long-term equity investments - continued 15.2 Determination of initial investment cost - continued For a long-term equity investment acquired through business combination not involving enterprises under common control, the investment cost of the long-term equity investment acquired is the cost of acquisition. The expenses incurred by the acquirer in respect of auditing, legal services, valuation and consultancy services and other associated administrative expenses attributable to the business combination are recognized in profit or loss when they are incurred. The long-term equity investment acquired otherwise than through a business combination is initially measured at its cost. When the entity is able to exercise significant influence or joint control (but not control) over an investee due to additional investment, the cost of long-term equity investments is the sum of the fair value of previously-held equity investments determined in accordance with Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises No.22 - Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement (ASBE No. 22) and the additional investment cost. 15.3 Subsequent measurement and recognition of profit or loss 15.3.1 Long-term equity investments accounted for using the cost method Long-term equity investments in subsidiaries are accounted for using the cost method in the Company's separate financial statements. A subsidiary is an investee that is controlled by the Group. Under the cost method, a long-term equity investment is measured at initial investment cost. When additional investment is made or the investment is recouped, the cost of the long-term equity investment is adjusted accordingly. Investment income is recognized in the period in accordance with the attributable share of cash dividends or profit distributions declared by the investee. 15.3.2 Long-term equity investments accounted for using the equity method Except for investments in associates and joint ventures classified as held-for-sale partly or wholly, the Group accounts for investment in associates and joint ventures using the equity method. An associate is an entity over which the Group has significant influence and a joint venture is a joint arrangement whereby the Group only has rights to the net assets of the arrangement. Under the equity method, where the initial investment cost of a long-term equity investment exceeds the Group's share of the fair value of the investee's identifiable net assets at the time of acquisition, no adjustment is made to the initial investment cost. Where the initial investment cost is less than the Group's share of the fair value of the investee's identifiable net assets at the time of acquisition, the difference is recognized in profit or loss for the period, and the cost of the long- term equity investment is adjusted accordingly. - 40 - CHINA MERCHANTS PORT GROUP CO., LTD.

Long-term equity investments - continued 15.3 Subsequent measurement and recognition of profit or loss - continued 15.3.2 Long-term equity investments accounted for using the equity method - continued Under the equity method, the Group recognizes its share of the net profit or loss and other comprehensive income of the investee for the period as investment income and other comprehensive income for the period. Meanwhile, the carrying amount of long-term equity investment is adjusted; the carrying amount of long-term equity investment is decreased in accordance with its share of the investee's declared profit or cash dividends; other changes in owners' equity of the investee other than net profit or loss and other comprehensive income are correspondingly adjusted to the carrying amount of the long-term equity investment, and recognized in capital reserve. The Group recognizes its share of the investee's net profit or loss based on the fair value of the investee's individual identifiable assets, etc. at the acquisition date after making appropriate adjustments. When the investee's accounting policies and accounting period are inconsistent with those of the Group, the Group recognizes investment income and other comprehensive income after making appropriate adjustments to conform to the Group's accounting policies and accounting period. However, unrealized gains or losses resulting from the Group's transactions with its associates and joint ventures, which do not constitute a business, are eliminated based on the proportion attributable to the Group and then investment gains or losses are recognized. However, unrealized losses resulting from the Group's transactions with its associates and joint ventures which represent impairment losses on the transferred assets are not eliminated. The Group discontinues recognizing its share of net losses of the investee after the carrying amount of the long-term equity investment together with any long-term interests that in substance form part of its net investment in the investee are reduced to zero. In addition, if the Group has incurred obligations to assume additional losses, a provision is recognized according to the obligation expected, and recorded in the investment loss for the period. Where net profits are subsequently made by the investee, the Group resumes recognizing its share of those profits only after its share of the profits exceeds the share of losses previously not recognized. - 41 - CHINA MERCHANTS PORT GROUP CO., LTD.

Long-term equity investments - continued 15.4 Disposal of long-term equity investments On disposal of a long-term equity investment, the difference between the proceeds actually received and receivable and the carrying amount is recognized in profit or loss for the period. For long-term equity investments accounted for using the equity method, if the remaining interest after disposal is still accounted for using the equity method, other comprehensive income previously recognized using the equity method is accounted for on the same basis as would have been required if the investee had directly disposed of related assets or liabilities, and transferred to profit or loss for the period on a pro rata basis; owners' equity recognized due to other changes in owners' equity of the investee (other than net profit or loss, other comprehensive income and profit distribution) is transferred to profit or loss for the period on a pro rata basis. For long-term equity investments accounted for using the cost method, if the remaining interest after disposal is still accounted for using the cost method, other comprehensive income previously recognized using the equity method or in accordance with the standards for the recognition and measurement of financial instruments before obtaining the control over the investee, is accounted for on the same basis as would have been required if the investee had directly disposed of related assets or liabilities, and transferred to profit or loss for the period on a pro rata basis; other changes in owners' equity in the investee's net assets recognized under the equity method (other than net profit or loss, other comprehensive income and profit distribution) is transferred to profit or loss for the period on a pro rata basis. Where the Group loses control over the investee due to disposal of part of shares, and in preparing the separate financial statements, remaining shares after disposal can have joint control or significant influence over the investee, the equity method shall be adopted to adjust the remaining shares as they are accounted for under equity method since the acquisition date. If remaining shares after disposal cannot have joint control or significant influence over the investee, they are accounted for in accordance with the standards for recognition and measurement of financial instruments, and the difference between fair value on date of losing control and carrying amount is recognized in profit or loss for the period. Other comprehensive income recognized using the equity method or in accordance with the standards for the recognition and measurement of financial instruments before losing control over the investee, is accounted for on the same basis as would have been required if the investee had directly disposed of related assets or liabilities when the control over the investee is lost; other changes in owners' equity in the investee's net assets recognized under the equity method (other than net profit or loss, other comprehensive income and profit distribution) is transferred to profit or loss for the period on a pro rata basis. Where remaining shares after disposal are accounted for under equity method, other comprehensive income and other owners' equity are transferred on a pro rata basis. Where remaining shares after disposal are accounted for in accordance with the standards for recognition and measurement of financial instruments, other comprehensive income and other owners' equity are all transferred. - 42 - CHINA MERCHANTS PORT GROUP CO., LTD.

Other comprehensive income previously recognized under the equity method, is accounted for on the same basis as would have been required if the investee had directly disposed of related assets or liabilities when the equity method is not adopted, and other changes in owners' equity other than net profit or loss, other comprehensive income and profit distribution are transferred to investment income for the period when the equity method is not adopted. The Group disposes of its equity investment in subsidiaries through multiple transactions step by step until it loses control over the subsidiaries. If these transactions belong to "package deal", all transactions are deemed as one transaction on disposal of equity investment in subsidiaries, and the difference between the amount of disposal and carrying amount of long-term equity investment is recognized as other comprehensive income, and transferred to profit or loss for the period when the control is lost. 16. Investment properties Investment property is the property held by the Group to earn rentals or for capital appreciation or both. It includes a land use right that is leased out and a building that is leased out. An investment property is measured initially at cost. Subsequent expenditures incurred for such investment property are included in the cost of the investment property if it is probable that economic benefits associated with the investment property will flow to the Group and the subsequent expenditures can be measured reliably. Other subsequent expenditures are recognized in profit or loss for the period in which they are incurred. The Group uses the cost model for subsequent measurement of investment property, and the investment properties are depreciated over their useful lives using the straight-line method. The depreciation life, estimated residual value rate and annual depreciation rate of each category of investment properties are as follows: Annual depreciation rate Category Depreciation life (year) Residual value rate (%) (%) Land use rights 21.25-50.00 - 2.00-4.71 Buildings and structures 10.00-43.17 5.00 2.20-9.50 An investment property is derecognized upon disposal or when the investment property is permanently withdrawn from use and no future economic benefits are expected from the disposal. - 43 - CHINA MERCHANTS PORT GROUP CO., LTD.

Investment properties - continued When an investment property is sold, transferred, retired or damaged, the Group recognizes the amount of any proceeds on disposal net of the carrying amount and related taxes in profit or loss for the period. 17. Fixed assets and depreciation Fixed assets are tangible assets that are held for use in the production or supply of goods or services, for rental to others, or for administrative purposes, and have useful lives of more than one accounting year. A fixed asset is recognized only when it is probable that economic benefits associated with the asset will flow to the Group and the cost of the asset can be measured reliably. Fixed assets are initially measured at cost. Upon being restructured into a stock company, the fixed assets initially contributed by the state-owned shareholders are recognized based on the valuation amounts confirmed by the state-owned assets administration department. Subsequent expenditures incurred for the fixed asset are included in the cost of the fixed asset if it is probable that economic benefits associated with the asset will flow to the Group and the subsequent expenditures can be measured reliably. Meanwhile the carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognized. Other subsequent expenditures are recognized in profit or loss for the period in which they are incurred. A fixed asset is depreciated over its useful life using the straight-line method starting from the month subsequent to the one in which it is ready for intended use. The depreciation life, estimated net residual value rate and annual depreciation rate of each category of fixed assets are as follows: Depreciation life Residual value Annual Category (year) rate (%) depreciation rate (%) Port and terminal facilities 5-50 5.00 1.90-19.00 Buildings and structures 5-30 5.00 3.17-19.00 Machinery and equipment, furniture 3-20 5.00 4.75-31.67 and fixture and other equipment Motor vehicles and cargo ships 5-25 5.00 3.80-19.00 Estimated net residual value of a fixed asset is the estimated amount that the Group would currently obtain from disposal of the asset, after deducting the estimated costs of disposal, if the asset were already of the age and in the condition expected at the end of its useful life. If a fixed asset is upon disposal or no future economic benefits are expected to be generated from its use or disposal, the fixed asset is derecognized. When a fixed asset is sold, transferred, retired or damaged, the amount of any proceeds on disposal of the asset net of the carrying amount and related taxes is recognized in profit or loss for the period. The Group reviews the useful life and estimated net residual value of a fixed asset and the depreciation method applied at least once at each financial year-end, and accounts for any change as a change in accounting estimates. - 44 - CHINA MERCHANTS PORT GROUP CO., LTD.

Construction in progress Construction in progress is measured at its actual costs. The actual costs include various construction expenditures during the construction period, borrowing costs capitalized before it is ready for intended use and other relevant costs. Construction in progress is not depreciated. Construction in progress is accounted for by categories of projects initiated, and is transferred to a fixed asset when it is ready for intended use. The criteria for judging the intended use shall be one of the following: (1) The physical construction (including installation) of fixed assets has been fully or substantially completed; (2) The trial production or trial operation has been carried out and the results of which indicate that the asset is capable of normal operation or producing qualified products on a stable basis, or the results of which indicate that it is capable of normal functioning or operation; (3) The fixed assets and intangible assets acquired and constructed have met the design or contractual requirements or are basically in compliance with the design or contractual requirements. 19. Borrowing costs Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of qualifying asset are capitalized when expenditures for such asset and borrowing costs are incurred and activities relating to the acquisition, construction or production of the asset that are necessary to prepare the asset for its intended use or sale have commenced. Capitalization of borrowing costs ceases when the qualifying asset being acquired, constructed or produced becomes ready for its intended use or sale. Capitalization of borrowing costs is suspended during periods in which the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset is interrupted abnormally and when the interruption is for a continuous period of more than 3 months. Capitalization is suspended until the acquisition, construction or production of the asset is resumed. Other borrowing costs are recognized as an expense in the period in which they are incurred. Where funds are borrowed under a specific-purpose borrowing, the amount of interest to be capitalized is the actual interest expense incurred on that borrowing for the period less any bank interest earned from depositing the borrowed funds before being used on the asset or any investment income on the temporary investment of those funds. Where funds are borrowed under general-purpose borrowings, the Group determines the amount of interest to be capitalized on such borrowings by applying a capitalization rate to the weighted average of the excess of cumulative expenditures on the asset over the amounts of specific-purpose borrowings. The capitalization rate is the weighted average of the interest rates applicable to the general-purpose borrowings. During the capitalization period, exchange differences related to a specific-purpose borrowing denominated in foreign currency are all capitalized. Exchange differences in connection with general-purpose borrowings are recognized in profit or loss for the period in which they are incurred. - 45 - CHINA MERCHANTS PORT GROUP CO., LTD.

Intangible assets 20.1 Useful life and the basis for determination, estimates, amortization method or review procedures 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 on the valuation amounts confirmed by the state-owned assets administration department. Except for terminal operating rights, when an intangible asset with a finite useful life is available for use, its original cost is amortized over its estimated useful life. The terminal operating rights under the output method are amortized over periods according to the ratio of the estimated minimum guaranteed throughput to the estimated minimum guaranteed total throughput during the operation period. When the estimated minimum guaranteed throughput cannot be measured reliably, the straight-line method will be used for amortization. An intangible asset with indefinite useful life will not be amortized. The amortization method, useful life and estimated net residual value rate of each category of intangible assets are as follows: Category Amortization method Useful life (year) Residual value (%) From the date of the land transfer, it Land use rights Straight-line method is amortized using the straight-line - method over the land transfer period Output method - it is amortized over periods according to the ratio of the estimated minimum guaranteed throughput to the estimated minimum guaranteed Terminal operating total throughput; straight-line Output/Straight-line method - right method - it is amortized using the straight-line method over the shortest of the estimated useful life, the beneficial period specified in the contract and the effective life as defined by law It is amortized using the straight- line method over the shortest of the Others Straight-line method estimated useful life, the beneficial - period specified in the contract and the effective life as defined by law For an intangible asset with a finite useful life, the Group reviews the useful life and amortization method at the end of the year, and makes adjustments when necessary. - 46 - CHINA MERCHANTS PORT GROUP CO., LTD.

Intangible assets - continued 20.2 Scope of R&D expenditure and method for accounting treatment Expenditure during the research phase is recognized in profit or loss for the period in which it is incurred. Expenditure during the development phase that meets all of the following conditions at the same time is recognized as intangible asset. Expenditure during development phase that does not meet the following conditions is recognized in profit or loss for the period: (1) it is technically feasible to complete the intangible asset so that it will be available for use or sale. (2) the Group has the intention to complete the intangible asset and use or sell it. (3) the Group can demonstrate the ways in which the intangible asset will generate economic benefits, including the evidence of the existence of a market for the output of the intangible asset or the intangible asset itself or, if it is to be used internally, the usefulness of the intangible asset. (4) the availability of adequate technical, financial and other resources to complete the development and the ability to use or sell the intangible asset. (5) the expenditure attributable to the intangible asset during its development phase can be reliably measured. If the expenditures cannot be distinguished between the research phase and development phase, the Group recognizes all of them in profit or loss for the year. The costs of intangible assets generated by the internal research only include the total expenditure incurred for the period from the time point of capitalization to the time point when the intangible assets are ready for intended use. For the identical intangible asset, the expenditures recorded as expenses before they qualify for capitalization during the development process are not adjusted. The Group classifies the expenditures on an internal research and development project into expenditures in the research phase and expenditures in the development phase. The scope of R&D expenditures refer to those directly related to the R&D activities, including wages, salaries, and welfare expenses of personnel directly engaged in R&D activities, materials directly consumed in R&D activities, depreciation expenses for instruments and equipment used in R&D activities, travel, transportation, and communication expenses required for research and experimental development, etc. Technical feasibility and economic viability studies are adopted as specific criteria for classifying the research and development phases once such studies have been evaluated and approved. - 47 - CHINA MERCHANTS PORT GROUP CO., LTD.

Impairment of long-term assets The Group assesses at the balance sheet date whether there is any indication that long-term equity investments, investment properties measured at cost model, fixed assets, construction in progress, right-of-use assets, intangible assets with a finite useful life and assets related to contract costs may be impaired. If there is any indication that such assets may be impaired, recoverable amounts are estimated for such assets. Intangible assets with indefinite useful life and intangible assets not yet available for use are tested for impairment annually, irrespective of whether there is any indication that the assets may be impaired. Recoverable amount is estimated on an individual basis. If it is not practical to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the recoverable amount of the asset group to which the asset belongs will be estimated. The recoverable amount of an asset is the higher of its fair value less costs of disposal and the present value of the future cash flows expected to be derived from the asset. If the recoverable amount of an asset or an asset group is less than its carrying amount, the deficit is accounted for as an impairment loss and is recognized in profit or loss. Goodwill is tested for impairment at least at the end of each year. For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill is considered together with the related assets group(s) or portfolio of assets group(s), i.e., goodwill is reasonably allocated to the related assets group(s) or portfolio of assets group(s) expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination. An impairment loss is recognised if the recoverable amount of the assets group(s) or portfolio of assets group(s) (including goodwill) is less than its carrying amount. The impairment loss is firstly allocated to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to such assets group(s) or portfolio of assets group(s), and then to the other assets of the group pro-rata on the basis of the carrying amount of each asset (other than goodwill) in the group. Once the impairment loss of above-mentioned assets is recognized, it shall not be reversed in any subsequent period. 22. Long-term prepaid expenses Long-term prepaid expenses represent expenses incurred that should be borne and amortized over the current and subsequent periods (together of more than one year). Long-term prepaid expenses are amortized using the straight-line method over the expected periods in which benefits are derived. 23. Contract liabilities Contract liabilities refer to the Group's obligation to transfer goods or services to a customer for consideration received or receivable from the customer. The contract assets and contract liabilities under the same contract are presented on a net basis. - 48 - CHINA MERCHANTS PORT GROUP CO., LTD.

Employee benefits 24.1 Short-term employee benefits Short-term benefits refer to the employee benefits that the Group is required to make full payments within 12 months after the annual reporting period during which relevant services are provided by the employees, except the post-employment benefits and termination benefits. Specifically, the short-term benefits include: employee salaries, bonuses, allowances and subsidies, employee benefits, social insurance contributions such as the medical insurance and the work injury insurance, housing funds, trade union funds and employee education funds, short-term paid absence, short-term profit sharing plan, non-monetary welfare and other short-term benefits. Short-term employee benefits payable are recognized as liabilities, with a corresponding charge to profit or loss for the period or in the costs of relevant assets in the accounting period in which employees provide services to the Group. Staff welfare expenses incurred by the Group are recognized in profit or loss for the period or the costs of relevant assets based on the actually occurred amounts when they actually occurred. Non-monetary staff welfare expenses are measured at fair value. Payment made by the Group of social security contributions for employees such as premiums or contributions on medical insurance, work injury insurance and maternity insurance, etc. and payments of housing funds, as well as union running costs and employee education costs provided in accordance with relevant requirements, are calculated according to prescribed bases and percentages in determining the amount of employee benefits and recognized as relevant liabilities, with a corresponding charge to profit or loss for the period or the costs of relevant assets in the accounting period in which employees provide services. 24.2 Post-employment benefits Post-employment benefits refer to the rewards and benefits of various forms provided by the Group after the employees have retired or terminated the labor relationship with the enterprise for the services rendered by the employees, except the short-term benefits and the termination benefits. The post-employment benefits consist of the pension insurance, the annuity, the unemployment insurance and other post-employment benefits. Post-employment benefit plans are classified by the Group into defined contribution plans and defined benefit plans. The post-employment benefit plan refers to the agreements the Group entered into with the employees on the post-employment benefits or the regulations or measures established by the Group for provisions of the post-employee benefits, among which the defined contribution plans refer to the post-employment benefit plan under which the Group shall no longer undertake any obligations of payments after paying fixed expenses to independent funds; the defined benefit plans refer to the post-employment benefit plans other than the defined contribution plans. During the accounting period in which employees render services to the Group, the amounts payable calculated based on the defined contribution plans are recognized as liabilities and included in profit or loss for the period or costs of related assets. - 49 - CHINA MERCHANTS PORT GROUP CO., LTD.

Employee benefits - continued 24.2 Post-employment benefits - continued For defined benefit plans, the Group attributes the welfare obligations arising from the defined benefit plans to the period in which employees provide services to the Group according to the formula determined based on the projected cumulative benefit unit method, and includes them in profit or loss for the period or costs of related assets. Defined benefit costs are categorized as follows: Service cost (including current service cost, past service cost, as well as gains and losses on settlements); Net interest of net liabilities or assets of defined benefit plans (including interest income of planned assets, interest expenses of defined benefit plan liabilities and effect of asset ceiling); and Changes arising from remeasurement of net liabilities or net assets of defined benefit plans. Service costs and net interest of net liabilities and net assets of defined benefit plans are recognized in profit or loss for the period or costs of related assets. Remeasurement of the net defined benefit liabilities (assets) (including actuarial gains and losses, the return on planned assets, excluding amounts included in net interest on net defined benefit liabilities (assets), and any changes in the effect of the asset ceiling, excluding amounts included in net interest on net defined benefit liabilities (assets)) are recognized in other comprehensive income. The deficit or surplus resulting from the present value of the defined benefit plan obligations less the fair value of the defined benefit plan assets is recognized as a net defined benefit plan liability or net asset. 24.3 Termination benefits Termination benefits refer to the compensations the Group pay to the employees for terminating the employment relationship with employees before the expiry of the employment contracts or encouraging employees to accept voluntary redundancy. When the Group provides termination benefits to employees, employee benefit liabilities are recognized for termination benefits, with a corresponding charge to profit or loss for the period at the earlier of: (1) when the Group cannot unilaterally withdraw the offer of termination benefits because of the termination plan or a curtailment proposal; and (2) when the Group recognizes costs or expenses related to restructuring that involves the payment of termination benefits. 24.4 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. - 50 - CHINA MERCHANTS PORT GROUP CO., LTD.

Employee benefits - continued 24.4 Other long-term employee benefits - continued Other long-term employee benefits that qualify as defined contribution plans are treated in accordance with the relevant provisions of the defined contribution plans mentioned above, except that the net liability or net asset for other long-term employee benefits is recognized and measured in accordance with the relevant provisions of the defined benefit plans. At the end of the reporting period, employee compensation costs arising from other long-term employee benefits are recognized as three components: service cost, net interest on net liability or net asset for other long-term employee benefits, and changes resulting from the remeasurement of the net liability or net asset for other long-term employee benefits. The total net amount of these items is included in profit or loss for the period or in the costs of related assets. The Group provides internal retirement benefits to employees accepting the internal retirement arrangements. Internal retirement benefits refer to the payments of salaries and social security contributions for employees who reach the retirement age regulated by the country and are approved to quit the job voluntarily. For internal retirement benefits, the internal retirement benefits the Group is expected to pay during the period from the date when employees stop providing services to the date of normal retirement are recognized as liabilities at the present value and included in profit or loss for the period when relevant recognition requirements of the internal retirement benefits are met. 25. Provisions Provisions are recognized when the Group has a present obligation related to a contingency, it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation, and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. The amount recognized as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present obligation at the balance sheet date, taking into account factors pertaining to a contingency such as the risks, uncertainties and time value of money. Where the effect of the time value of money is material, the amount of the provision is determined by discounting the related future cash outflows. Where all or some of the expenditure required to settle a provision is expected to be reimbursed by a third party, the reimbursement is recognized as a separate asset only when it is virtually certain that reimbursement will be received, and the amount of reimbursement recognized does not exceed the carrying amount of the provision. - 51 - CHINA MERCHANTS PORT GROUP CO., LTD.

Share-based payments A share-based payment is a transaction which the Group grants equity instruments, in return for services rendered by employees or other parties. The Group's share-based payments include equity-settled share-based payments. Equity-settled share-based payments in exchange for services rendered by employees are measured at fair value of the equity instruments granted to employees at the grant date. Such amount is recognized as related costs or expenses on a straight-line basis over the vesting period, based on the best estimate of the number of equity instruments expected to vest/ as related costs or expenses at the grant date, if the equity instruments could be vested immediately, with a corresponding increase in capital reserve. 27. Preferred stock, perpetual bonds and other financial instruments The consideration received by the Group for the issuance of equity instruments is included in shareholders' equity after deducting transaction costs. Repurchase the consideration and transaction costs paid by the Group's equity instruments to reduce shareholders' equity. The Group classifies financial instruments, or their components, as financial liabilities or equity instruments at initial recognition based on the contractual terms of the issued perpetual bonds and their reflected economic substance, combined with the definitions of financial liabilities and equity instruments. For financial instruments such as perpetual bonds classified as equity instruments, interest expense or dividend (dividend) distributions are treated as profit distributions of the Group, and their repurchases, write-offs, etc., are treated as changes in equity, and related transaction costs are deducted from equity. 28. Revenue recognition 28.1 Disclosure of accounting policies adopted for revenue recognition and measurement by type of business The Group's revenue is mainly from port business, bonded logistics business and other businesses. The Group recognizes revenue based on the transaction price allocated to the performance obligation when the Group satisfies a performance obligation in the contract, namely, when the customer obtains control over relevant goods or services. A performance obligation is a commitment that the Group transfers a distinct goods or service to a customer in the contract. - 52 - CHINA MERCHANTS PORT GROUP CO., LTD.

Revenue recognition - continued 28.1 Disclosure of accounting policies adopted for revenue recognition and measurement by type of business - continued The Group evaluates the contract on the contract start date, identifies each individual performance obligation contained in the contract, and determines whether each individual performance obligation is satisfied during a period of time or at a point in time. It is a performance obligation satisfied during a period of time and the Group recognizes revenue during a period of time according to the progress of performance if one of the following conditions is met: (i) the customer obtains and consumes economic benefits at the same time of the Group's performance; (ii) the customer is able to control goods or services in progress during the Group's performance; (iii) goods or services generated during the Group's performance have irreplaceable utilization, and the Group is entitled to collect amounts of cumulative performance part which have been done up to now. Otherwise, revenue is recognized at a point in time when the customer obtains control over the relevant goods or services. The Group adopts output method, i.e., the value of goods or services transferred to customers to determine the appropriate progress of performance. Where the progress cannot be determined reasonably, the revenue is recognized based on the amount of cost that is expected to be compensated based on the cost already incurred, until the progress of performance is reasonably determined. The transaction price is the amount of consideration to which the Group expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring promised goods or services to a customer, excluding amounts collected on behalf of third parties and amounts expected to be refunded to a customer. In determining the transaction price, the Group should consider the effects of variable consideration, significant financing components in the contract, non-cash consideration and consideration payable to customers. If there are two or more of performance obligations included in the contract, at the inception of the contract, the Group allocates the transaction price to each single performance obligation based on the proportion of stand-alone selling price of goods or services promised in each stand-alone performance obligation. However, if there is conclusive evidence indicating that the contract discount or variable consideration is only relative with one or more (not the whole) performance obligations in the contract, the Group will allocate the contract discount or variable consideration to relative one or more performance obligations. Stand-alone selling price refers to the price of a single sale of goods or services. If the stand-alone selling price cannot be observed directly, the Group estimates the stand-alone selling price through comprehensive consideration of all relative information that can be reasonably acquired and maximum use of observable inputs. In case of the existence of variable consideration (such as sales discount) in the contract, the Group shall determine the best estimate of variable consideration based on the expected value or the most probably occurred amount. The transaction price including variable consideration shall not exceed the amount of the cumulatively recognized revenue which is unlikely to be significantly reversed when relevant uncertainty is eliminated.

If the fair value of non-cash consideration cannot be reasonably estimated, the Group shall determine the transaction price indirectly by reference to the stand-alone selling price of the goods or services promised to transfer to the customer. In case of the existence of a significant financing component in the contract, the Group shall determine the transaction price on the assumption that the customer has paid the amount payable by cash when obtaining the control over the goods or services. Differences between transaction price and contract consideration are amortized using effective interest method during the contract life. At the inception of the contract, if the period between when the Group transfers a promised goods or service to a customer and when the customer pays for that goods or service will be one year or less, the Group would not consider the significant component in the contract. The Group assesses whether it controls each specified goods or service before that goods or service is transferred to the customer to determine whether the Group is a principal or an agent. If the Group controls the specified good or service before that good or service is transferred to a customer, the Group is a principal and recognizes revenue in the gross amount of consideration received or receivable. Otherwise, the Group is an agent and recognizes revenue in the amount of any fee or commission to which it expects to be entitled. The fee or commission is the net amount of consideration that the Group retains after paying the other party the consideration received in exchange for the goods or services to be provided by that party, or is determined in accordance with the established commission amount or percentage, etc. Where the Group receives receipts in advance from a customer for sales of goods or rendering of services, the amount is first recognized as a liability and then transferred to revenue when the related performance obligation has been satisfied. When the Group's receipts in advance are not required to be refunded and it is probable that the customer will waive all or part of its contractual rights, the Group recognizes the said amounts as revenue on a pro-rata basis in accordance with the pattern of exercise of the customer's contractual rights, if the Group expects to be entitled to the amounts relating to the contractual rights waived by the customer; otherwise, the Group reverses the related balance of the said liabilities to revenue only when it is highly unlikely that the customer will require performance of the remaining performance obligations. For port business, the revenue from the handling of containers and bulk cargos is recognized over time based on the progress of completed services, and the revenue from the storage of containers and bulk cargos is recognized on a straight-line basis over the period of storage. - 55 - CHINA MERCHANTS PORT GROUP CO., LTD.

Revenue recognition - continued 28.1 Disclosure of accounting policies adopted for revenue recognition and measurement by type of business - continued For bonded logistics business, the revenue is recognized based on the progress of services rendered, where the progress of completed services is determined based on the proportion of days on services provided to the estimated total number of service days. As at the balance sheet date, the Group has re-estimated the progress of completed bonded logistics service so that it reflects the changes in performance status. 28.2 Similar operations under different business models which involve different revenue recognition and measurement methods The Group has no similar operations under different business models which involve different revenue recognition and measurement methods. 29. Contract costs 29.1 Costs of obtaining a contract For the incremental cost of obtaining the contract (cost that will not occur if the contract is not obtained) that is expected to be recoverable, it is recognized as an asset. If the amortization period of such asset is less than one year, it is recognized in profit or loss for the period when incurred. Other expenses incurred for obtaining the contract is included in profit or loss for the period when incurred, except for those explicitly assumed by the customer. 29.2 Costs to fulfil a contract If the costs incurred in fulfilling a contract are not within the scope of any standards other than Revenue Standards, the Group recognizes an asset only if those costs meet all of the following criteria: (1) the costs relate directly to a contract or to an anticipated contract that the Group can specifically identify; (2) the costs enhance resources of the Group that will be used in satisfying performance obligations in the future; and (3) the costs are expected to be recovered. The asset mentioned above shall be amortized on a basis that is consistent with the revenue recognition of the goods or services to which the asset relates and recognized in profit or loss for the period. - 56 - CHINA MERCHANTS PORT GROUP CO., LTD.

Contract costs - continued 29.3 Impairment loss of assets related to contract costs In determining the impairment losses of assets related to contract costs, the Group first determines the impairment losses of other assets related to contracts recognized in accordance with other ASBE; then, for assets related to contract costs, if the carrying amount of the assets is higher than the difference between: (1) the remaining consideration that the Group expects to obtain for the transfer of the goods or services related to the assets; and (2) the estimated costs to be incurred for the transfer of the related goods or services, any excess is provided for impairment and recognized as impairment loss of assets. After the provision for impairment of assets related to contract costs is made, if the factors of impairment in previous periods change so that the difference between the above two is higher than the carrying amount of the assets, the original provision for impairment of the assets is reversed and recognized in profit or loss for the period, provided that the carrying amount of the assets after the reversal does not exceed the carrying amount of the assets at the date of reversal assuming no provision for impairment was made. 30. Government grants Government grants are transfer of monetary assets or non-monetary assets from the government to the Group at no consideration. A government grant is recognized only when the Group can comply with 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 amount received or receivable. If a government grant is in the form of a non-monetary asset, it is measured at fair value. If the fair value cannot be reliably determined, it is measured at a nominal amount. A government grant measured at a nominal amount is recognized immediately in profit or loss for the period. 30.1 Determination basis and accounting treatment of government grant related to assets Government grants of the Group mainly include grants for intelligent system, etc., and these government grants relate to assets as they will form long-term assets. A government grant related to an asset is recognized as deferred income, and evenly amortized to profit or loss over the useful life of the related asset. - 57 - CHINA MERCHANTS PORT GROUP CO., LTD.

Government grants - continued 30.2 Determination basis and accounting treatment of government grant related to income Government grants of the Group mainly include grants for business development and specialized operations, etc., and these government grants relate to income as they will not form long-term assets. The Group classifies government grants that are difficult to be distinguished as government grants related to income aggregately. For a government grant related to income, if the grant is a compensation for related expenses or losses to be incurred in subsequent periods, the grant is recognized as deferred income and recognized in profit or loss for the period in which the related costs or losses are recognized; If the grant is a compensation for related expenses or losses already incurred, the grant is recognized immediately in profit or loss. A government grant related to the Group's daily activities is recognized in other income based on the nature of economic activities; a government grant not related to the Group's daily activities is recognized in non-operating income. 31. Income tax The income tax expenses include current income tax and deferred income tax. 31.1 Current income tax At the balance sheet date, current income tax liabilities (or assets) for the current and prior periods are measured at the amount expected to be paid (or recovered) according to the requirements of tax laws. 31.2 Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities For temporary differences between the carrying amounts of certain assets or liabilities and their tax base, or between the nil carrying amount of those items that are not recognized as assets or liabilities and their tax base that can be determined according to tax laws, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized using the balance sheet liability method. Deferred tax are generally recognized for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax assets for deductible temporary differences are recognized to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which the deductible temporary differences can be utilized. However, for temporary differences associated with the initial recognition of goodwill and the initial recognition of an asset or liability arising from a transaction, which is not a business combination that affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profits (or deductible losses) and will not result in taxable temporary differences and deductible temporary differences in equivalent amounts at the time of transaction, no deferred tax asset or liability is recognized. - 58 - CHINA MERCHANTS PORT GROUP CO., LTD.

Deferred tax assets/ deferred tax liabilities - continued 31.2 Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities - continued For deductible losses and tax credits that can be carried forward, deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the deductible losses and tax credits can be utilized. Deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures, except where the Group is able to control the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences and it is probable that the temporary differences will not be reversed in the foreseeable future. Deferred tax assets arising from deductible temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures are recognized to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the deductible temporary differences can be utilized and they are expected to be reversed in the foreseeable future. At the balance sheet date, deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates applicable in the period in which the asset is realized or the liability is settled according to tax laws. Current and deferred tax expenses or income are recognized in profit or loss for the period, except when they arise from transactions or events that are directly recognized in other comprehensive income or shareholders' equity, in which case they are recognized in other comprehensive income or shareholders' equity, and when they arise from business combinations, in which case they adjust the carrying amount of goodwill. At the balance sheet date, the carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed and reduced if it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available in the future to allow the benefit of deferred tax assets to be utilized. Any such reduction in amount is reversed when it becomes probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available. 31.3 Income tax offsetting When the Group has a legal right to settle on a net basis and intends either to settle on a net basis or to realize the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously, current tax assets and current tax liabilities are offset and presented on a net basis. When the Group has a legal right to settle current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis, and deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on either the same taxable entity or different taxable entities which intend either to settle current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis or to realize the assets and liabilities simultaneously, in each future period in which significant amounts of deferred tax assets or liabilities are expected to be reversed, deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset and presented on a net basis. - 59 - CHINA MERCHANTS PORT GROUP CO., LTD.

Leases A lease is a contract in which the lessor, for a certain period of time, gives the lessee the right to use the assets to obtain a consideration. For contracts entered into, the Group assesses whether the contract is, or contains, a lease at the commencement date. Such contract will not be reassessed unless the terms and conditions of the contract are subsequently changed. 32.1 The Group as lessee 32.1.1 Separating components of a lease For a contract that contains one or more lease components or non-lease components, the Group separates each individual lease and non-lease component and allocates the contract consideration in the relative proportion of the sum of the individual price of each lease component and the individual price of the non-lease component. 32.1.2 Right-of-use assets Except for short-term leases and leases of low-value assets, the Group recognizes the right-of-use assets of the leases at the commencement date. The commencement date of the lease is the date from which the lessor provides the leased assets to make them available for use by the Group. Right-of-use assets are initially measured at cost. The cost includes: the amount of the initial measurement of the lease liabilities. any lease payments made at or before the commencement date, less any lease incentives. any initial direct costs incurred by the Group. an estimate of costs to be incurred by the Group in dismantling and removing the underlying asset, restoring the site on which it is located or restoring the underlying asset to the condition required by the terms and conditions of the lease. Right-of-use assets are depreciated by the Group in accordance with the ASBE No.4 Fixed Assets. If the Group is reasonably certain, that the lease will transfer ownership of the underlying asset to the Group by the end of the lease term, the right-of-use assets are depreciated from the commencement date to the end of the useful life of the underlying asset. Otherwise, the right-of- use assets are depreciated from the commencement date to the earlier of the end of the useful life of the right-of-use assets or the end of the lease term. The Group applies ASBE No. 8 Impairment of Assets, to determine whether the right-of-use assets are impaired and to account for any impairment loss identified. - 60 - CHINA MERCHANTS PORT GROUP CO., LTD.

Leases - continued 32.1 The Group as lessee - continued 32.1.3 Lease liabilities Except for short-term leases and leases of low-value assets, the Group initially measures lease liabilities at the present value of the outstanding lease payments at the commencement date. In calculating the present value of the lease payments, the Group uses the implicit interest rate of the lease as the discount rate. If it is not possible to determine the implicit interest rate of the lease, the incremental borrowing rate shall be applied. The lease payments comprise the following payments by the Group for the right to use the underlying asset during the lease term: fixed payments (including in-substance fixed payments), less any lease incentives. variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate. the exercise price of a purchase option if the Group is reasonably certain to exercise that option. payments for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects the Group exercising an option to terminate the lease. amounts expected to be payable by the Group under residual value guarantees. Variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, are initially measured using the index or rate as at the commencement date. Variable lease payments not included in the measurement of the lease liabilities, are recognized in profit or loss, or in the cost of relevant assets, in the period of those payments. After the commencement date, interest expenses on the lease liabilities in each period during the lease term is calculated by a constant periodic rate of interest, and included in profit or loss or charged to cost of related assets. After the commencement date, the Group shall remeasure the lease liabilities and make corresponding adjustments to the related right-of-use assets in the following circumstances. If the carrying amount of the right-of-use assets is reduced to zero and there is a further reduction in the measurement of the lease liabilities, the Group shall recognize the difference in profit or loss: where there is a change in the lease term, or in the assessment of an option to purchase the underlying asset, the Group remeasures the lease liabilities, on the basis of the revised lease term and the revised discount rate. where there is a change in the amounts expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee, or in future lease payments resulting from a change in an index or a rate used to determine those payments, the Group remeasures the lease liabilities, on the basis of the revised lease payments and the unchanged discount rate, unless the change in the lease payments results from a change in floating interest rates, in which case a revised discount rate is applied to calculate the present value. - 61 - CHINA MERCHANTS PORT GROUP CO., LTD.

Leases - continued 32.1 The Group as lessee - continued 32.1.4 Short-term leases and leases of low-value assets The Group elects not to recognize right-of-use assets or lease liabilities for short-term leases and leases of low-value assets, i.e., port and terminal facilities, buildings, machinery and equipment, furniture, fixture and other equipment, motor vehicles and cargo ships and others. A short-term lease is a lease that, at the commencement date, has a lease term of 12 months or less and does not contain a call option. A lease of low-value assets is a lease that, the value of the underlying asset is low when it is new. For short-term leases and leases of low-value assets, the Group recognizes the lease payments in profit or loss, or in the cost of related assets on a straight-line basis over each period within the lease term. 32.1.5 Lease modifications A lease modification should be accounted for as a separate lease if both of the following apply: the modification increases the scope of the lease by adding the right to use one or more underlying assets. the consideration for the lease increases by an amount commensurate with the stand-alone price for the increase in scope and any appropriate adjustments to that stand-alone price according to the circumstances of the particular contract. For a lease medication that is not accounted for as a separate lease, at the effective date of the lease modification, the Group should allocate the consideration in the modified contract, determine the lease term of the modified lease and remeasure the lease liabilities based on the present value of the changed lease payments and the revised discount rate. For lease modifications that decrease the scope of the lease or shorten the term of the lease, the Group should decrease the carrying amount of the right-of-use assets with any gain or loss relating to the partial or full termination of the lease recognized in profit or loss. For re- measurement of lease liabilities due to other lease modifications, a corresponding adjustment is made to the carrying amount of the right-of-use assets. - 62 - CHINA MERCHANTS PORT GROUP CO., LTD.

Leases - continued 32.1 The Group as lessee - continued 32.1.6 Sale and leaseback transactions The Group as seller-lessee The Group applies the requirements of Revenue Standard to determine whether the transfer of an asset is accounted for as a sale of that asset. If the transfer of an asset does not constitute a sale, the Group shall continue to recognize the transferred assets, recognize a financial liability equal to the transfer proceeds and accounts for such financial liability in accordance with the Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises No. 22 - Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement. If the transfer of an asset is a sale, the Group shall measure the right-of-use assets arising from the leaseback at the proportion of the previous carrying amount of the asset that relates to the right of use, and recognize any gain or loss for rights transferred to the lessor only. 32.2 The Group as lessor 32.2.1 Separating components of a lease For a contract that contains lease components and non-lease components, the Group allocates the contract consideration in accordance with the Revenue Standards on allocation of transaction prices, based on the respective individual prices of the lease components and the non-lease components. 32.2.2 Classification of leases Leases are classified as finance leases whenever the terms of the lease transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership. All other leases are classified as operating leases. 32.2.2.1 The Group as lessor under operating leases The Group recognizes lease receipts from operating leases as rental income using a straight-line method over the respective periods of the lease term. The Group's initial direct costs incurred in connection with operating leases are capitalized when the costs incurred, and are allocated to profit or loss for the period over the lease term on the same basis as the recognition of rental income. Variable lease receipts acquired by the Group in connection with operating leases that are not included in the lease receipts are recognized in profit or loss for the period when they are actually incurred. - 63 - CHINA MERCHANTS PORT GROUP CO., LTD.

Leases - continued 32.2 The Group as lessor - continued 32.2.2 Classification of leases - continued 32.2.2.2 The Group as lessor under finance leases At the commencement date, the Group recognizes a finance lease receivable at the amount equal to the net lease investment with assets under finance lease derecognized. The net lease investment is the sum of any unguaranteed residual value and the present value of the lease receipts over the lease term discounted at the interest rate implicit in lease. The lease receivable comprises the following payments collected by the Group from the lessee for the transfer of the right to use the underlying assets during the lease term: fixed payments (including in-substance fixed payments) paid by the lessee, less any lease incentives. variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate. the exercise price of a purchase option, provided that it is reasonably determined that the lessee will exercise the option. payments for terminating the lease, provided that the lease term reflects that the lessee will exercise the option to terminate the lease; residual value of guarantee provided to the Group by the lessee, a party related to the lessee and an independent third party with the financial ability to fulfil the guarantee obligations. Variable lease receipts not included in the net lease investment are recognized in profit or loss when they are actually incurred. Interest income for each period over the lease term is calculated and recognized by the Group at a fixed periodic rate. 32.2.3 Subleases As the lessor of a sublease, the Group accounts for the original lease contract and the sublease contract on a separate basis. The Group classifies the subleases based on the right-of-use assets generating from the original lease rather than the underlying assets of the original lease. - 64 - CHINA MERCHANTS PORT GROUP CO., LTD.

A lease modification should be accounted for as a separate lease if there is a modification in a finance lease and both of the followings apply: the modification increases the scope of the lease by adding the right to use one or more underlying assets; and the consideration for the lease increases by an amount commensurate with the stand-alone price for the increase in scope with any appropriate adjustment to that stand-alone price. For a modification to a finance lease that is not accounted for as a separate lease, the Group accounts for the modification as follows: If the lease would have been classified as an operating lease had the modification been effective at the commencement date, the Group should account for the lease modification as a new lease from the effective date of the modification, and measure the carrying amount of the underlying assets at the amount equal to the net lease investment before the effective date of the modification; If the lease would have been classified as a finance lease had the modification been effective at the commencement date, the Group should account for it in accordance with the provisions on contract modification and renegotiation under Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises No. 22 - Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement. 32.2.5 Sale and leaseback transactions The Group as the buyer-lessor If the transfer of an asset in a sale and leaseback transaction does not constitute a sale, the Group does not recognize the transferred asset but a financial asset at an amount equal to the transfer proceeds, and accounts for such financial asset under the Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises No. 22 - Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement. If the transfer of an asset constitutes a sale, the Group accounts for the purchase of the asset in accordance with other applicable Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises and accounts for the lease of the asset. - 65 - CHINA MERCHANTS PORT GROUP CO., LTD.

Exchange of non-monetary assets When the non-monetary assets are of commercial substance and the fair value of assets received or the assets given up can be measured reliably, the non-monetary transactions are measured at fair value. For the asset received, the fair value of the asset given up and related taxes payable are recognized as the cost at initial recognition; For the asset given up, at derecognition, the difference between the fair value and the carrying amount is recognized in profit or loss for the current period. When there is clear evidence indicating that the fair value of the received asset is more reliable, for the asset received, the fair value of the asset received and related taxes payable are recognized as the cost at initial recognition; For the asset given up, at derecognition, the difference between the fair value of the asset received and the carrying amount of the asset given up is recognized in profit or loss for the current period. When the non-monetary transactions fail to meet criteria to be measured at fair value, the transactions are measured at carrying amounts. For the asset received, the carrying amount of the asset given up and relevant taxes payable are recognized as the cost of at initial recognition. For the asset given up, at derecognition, no profit or loss is recognized. 34. Safety production cost According to the Administrative Measures for the Collection and Utilization of Enterprise Work Safety Funds (Cai Zi [2022] No. 136) jointly issued by the Ministry of Finance and the Emergency Department on 13 December 2022, safety production cost set aside by the Group is directly included in the cost of relevant products or recognized in profit or loss for the period, and transferred to special reserve simultaneously. When safety production cost set aside is utilized, if the costs incurred can be categorized as expenditure, the costs incurred should be charged against the special reserve. If the costs set aside are used to build up fixed assets, the costs should be charged to construction in progress, and reclassified to fixed assets when the safety projects are ready for intended use. Meantime, expenditures in building up fixed assets are directly charged against the special reserve with the accumulated depreciation recognized at the same amount. Depreciation will not be made in the future period on such fixed assets. (V) CRITICAL JUDGMENTS IN APPLYING ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND KEY ASSUMPTIONS AND UNCERTAINTIES IN ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES In the application of accounting policies and accounting estimates as set out in Note (IV), the Group is required to make judgments, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amounts of items in the financial statements that cannot be measured accurately, due to the internal uncertainty of the operating activities. These judgments, estimates and assumptions are based on historical experience of the Group's management as well as other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates. - 66 - CHINA MERCHANTS PORT GROUP CO., LTD.

Changes in accounting estimates which only affect the current period should be recognized in the current period; changes which not only affect the current but the future periods should be recognized in the current and future periods. At the balance sheet date, key assumptions and uncertainties in critical judgments and accounting estimates that are likely to lead to significant adjustments to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the future are as follows: Goodwill impairment For the purpose of impairment testing, the present value of the expected future cash flows of the assets group or portfolio including goodwill shall be calculated, and such expected future cash flows shall be estimated. Meantime, a rate shall be determined that should reflect the time value of money on the current market and the specific interest risks. Recognition of deferred income tax The Group calculates and makes provision for deferred tax liabilities according to the profit distribution plans of subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures and relevant provisions of tax law. For retained earnings of the investee which are not expected to be distributed, since the profits will be used for the daily operation and future development of the investee, no deferred tax liabilities are recognized. If the profits to be actually distributed in future years are more or less than those expected, corresponding deferred tax liabilities will be recognized or reversed in profit or loss for the period at the earlier of the date on which the profit distribution plan is changed and the date on which the profit distribution is declared. Deferred tax assets are recognized based on the deductible temporary differences and the corresponding tax rate, to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the deductible temporary differences can be utilized. If the actual taxable income in future years are more or less than that expected, corresponding deferred tax assets will be recognized or reversed in profit or loss for the period in which they are actually incurred. Estimated useful lives and residual value of fixed assets and intangible assets The Group assesses the estimated useful lives and residual value of fixed assets and intangible assets. Such estimate is made by reference to the historical experience of actual useful lives and residual value of fixed assets and intangible assets of similar nature and function, and is subject to significant changes due to technical innovation and fierce industry competition. Where the estimated useful lives and residual value of fixed assets and intangible assets are less than the previous estimates, the Group will increase the depreciation and amortization, or write off or eliminate the technically obsolete fixed assets or intangible assets. - 67 - CHINA MERCHANTS PORT GROUP CO., LTD.

Changes in significant accounting policies 1.1 Interpretation No. 17 of the Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises The Ministry of Finance issued the Interpretation No. 17 of the Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises (the "Interpretation No.17) on 25 October 2023, which clarifies the provisions on "the division of current liabilities and non-current liabilities". According to the Interpretation No. 17, when the Group classifies the liquidity of liabilities, it only considers whether the Group has the substantive right to postpone the settlement of liabilities to more than one year after the balance sheet date (hereinafter referred to as "the right to postpone the settlement of liabilities"), without considering whether the Group has the subjective possibility of exercising the above rights. For the liabilities arising from the Group's loan arrangements, if the right of the Group to postpone the repayment of the liabilities depends on whether the Group has complied with the conditions specified in the loan arrangements (hereinafter referred to as "contractual conditions"), the Group only considers the contractual conditions that should be complied with on or before the balance sheet date when dividing the liquidity of the relevant liabilities, without considering the impact of contractual conditions that should be complied with by the Group after the balance sheet date. If the Group classifies the above options as equity instruments and recognizes them separately as equity components of composite financial instruments in accordance with the Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises No. 37- Disclosure of financial instruments, the liquidity division of the liabilities that the Group pays off by delivering its own equity instruments at the option of the counterparty will not be affected; On the contrary, if the above options cannot be classified as equity instruments, it will affect the liquidity classification of the liabilities. The adoption of this provision has not had a significant impact on the Group's financial position and operating results. - 68 - CHINA MERCHANTS PORT GROUP CO., LTD.

Up to date, Nanshan Group has not yet obtained the land use rights in respect of the lands within Chiwan watershed, including aforementioned capital contribution and land lease to the Group, therefore, the Group cannot obtain the ownership certificate for relevant land and buildings on such land. The Company's management understood that Nanshan Group is negotiating with relevant government departments regarding the historical issues, and the date when the Group can obtain the ownership certificate of relevant land and buildings on such land cannot be estimated reliably.

Operating income and operating costs - continued (3) Description of performance obligations The Group provides port service, bonded logistics service and other services. These services are obligations performed over a period of time. For port services, as the handling time for containers and bulk cargos is short, the management believes that it is not necessary to recognize revenue according to the progress towards the completion of contract and it is an appropriate method to recognize the fulfilment of performance obligation and revenue upon the completion of the service. For bonded logistics service and other services, the customers evenly obtain and consume the economic benefits from the Group's performance of contract, meanwhile the charging rules as agreed in the contract terms usually adopt daily/month/yearly basis. During the process of rendering services, the Group recognizes revenue using straight-line method. At the same time, the Group is primarily responsible for the above services and generally does not have any commitment to the amount of money expected to be returned to the customer. Part of the Group's handling contracts are established with discount terms, i.e., the customers whose business volume reaches agreed level, are granted with preferential charge rate or discount. At the end of the period, as the business volume finally realized within the contract period is uncertain, the contract consideration is subject to variable factors. The management includes this part of discount in other payables and provisions. At the end of the period, the variable considerations arising from sales discount are set out in Note (VIII) 31 (3) and Note (VIII) 39. (4) Descriptions on allocation to remaining performance obligations At the end of the period, the amount of revenue corresponding to the performance obligations which the Group has entered into a contract for but has not fulfilled or completely fulfilled mainly included the contract liabilities of RMB 136,314,445.28, of which RMB 46,777,586.79 is expected to be recognized as revenue in 2024; and RMB 89,536,858.49 is expected to be recognized as revenue in 2025 and subsequent years. 49.

The risks associated with these financial instruments and the policies on how to mitigate these risks are set out below. Management of the Group manages and monitors these exposures to ensure the risks are monitored at a certain level. The Group adopts sensitivity analysis technique to analyse how the profit and loss for the period and shareholders' equity would have been affected by reasonably possible changes in the relevant risk variables. As it is unlikely that risk variables will change in an isolated manner, and the interdependence among risk variables will have significant effect on the amount ultimately influenced by the changes in a single risk variable, the following are based on the assumption that the change in each risk variable is on a stand-alone basis.. 1. Risk management objectives, policies and procedures, and changes for the period The Group's risk management objectives are to achieve a proper balance between risks and yield, minimise the adverse impacts of risks on the Group's operation performance, and maximise the benefits of the shareholders and other stakeholders. Based on these risk management objectives, the Group's basic risk management strategy is to identify and analyse the Group's exposure to various risks, establish an appropriate maximum tolerance to risk, implement risk management, and monitors regularly and effectively these exposures to ensure the risks are monitored at a certain level. - 152 - CHINA MERCHANTS PORT GROUP CO., LTD.

The Group's exposure to the currency risk is primarily associated with HKD, USD and EUR. Except for part of the purchases and sales, the Group's other principal activities are denominated and settled in RMB. As at 30 June 2024, the balances of the Group's assets and liabilities are both denominated in functional currency, except that the assets and liabilities set out below are recorded using foreign currencies.

(See Note (VIII) 24 and Note (VIII) 34). The Group continuously and closely monitors the impact of interest rate changes on the Group's interest rate risk. The Group's policy is to maintain these borrowings at floating rates. Presently, the Group has no arrangement such as interest rate swaps. - 154 - CHINA MERCHANTS PORT GROUP CO., LTD. NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE PERIOD FROM 1 JANUARY TO 30 JUNE 2024 (Unless otherwise specified, the monetary unit shall be RMB) (XIII) RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS - continued 1. Risk management objectives, policies and procedures, and changes for the period - continued 1.1 Market risk - continued 1.1.2 Interest rate risk - changes in cash flows - continued Sensitivity analysis on interest rate risk Sensitivity analysis on interest rate risk is based on the following assumptions: Fluctuations of market interest rate can affect the interest income or expense of a financial instrument with floating interest rate; For a financial instrument at fair value with fixed interest rate, the fluctuations of market interest rate can only affect its interest income or expense; For a derivative financial instrument designated as hedging instrument, the fluctuations of market interest rate affect its fair value, and all interest rate hedges are expected to be highly effective; The changes in fair value of derivative financial instruments and other financial assets and liabilities are calculated using cash flow discounting method by applying the market interest rate at balance sheet date. On the basis of above assumptions, where the other variables held constant, the pre-tax effect of possible and reasonable changes in interest rate on the profit or loss for the period and shareholders' equity are as follows: The current period The prior period Changes in Effect on Effect on Item interest rate Effect on profit shareholders' Effect on profit shareholders' equity equity Short-term borrowings and 1% increase -311,872,062.49 -311,872,062.49 -218,624,405.40 -218,624,405.40 long-term borrowings Short-term borrowings and 1% decrease 311,872,062.49 311,872,062.49 218,624,405.40 218,624,405.40 long-term borrowings 1.2 Credit risk As at 30 June 2024, the Group's maximum exposure to credit risk which will cause a financial loss to the Group due to failure to discharge an obligation by the counterparties and financial guarantees issued by the Group (without considering the available collateral or other credit enhancements) is arising from cash and bank balances (Note (VIII), 1), notes receivable (Note (VIII), 3), accounts receivable (Note (VIII), 4), other receivables (Note (VIII), 7), long-term receivables (Note (VIII), 11), etc. At the balance sheet date, the carrying amounts of the Group's financial assets represent its maximum exposure to credit risk. In addition, the Group's maximum credit risk exposure to credit losses includes the amount of financial guarantee contract as disclosed in Note (XVII), 2 "Contingencies". - 155 - CHINA MERCHANTS PORT GROUP CO., LTD.

Risk management objectives, policies and procedures, and changes for the period - continued 1.2 Credit risk - continued In order to minimise the credit risk, the Group has delegated a department responsible for determination of credit limits, credit approvals and other monitoring procedures to ensure that follow-up action is taken to recover overdue debts. In addition, the Group reviews the recoverable amount of financial assets at each balance sheet date to ensure that adequate provision for credit loss is made for relevant financial assets. In this regard, the management of the Group considers that the Group's credit risk is significantly reduced. The credit risk on cash and bank balances is limited because they are deposited with financial institutions with high credit ratings. The Group has no significant concentration of credit risk, with exposure spread over a number of counterparties and customers. The Group has adopted a policy to ensure that all sales customers have good credit records. 1.3 Liquidity risk In the management of the liquidity risk, the Group monitors and maintains a level of cash and cash equivalents deemed adequate by the management to finance the Group's operations and mitigate the effects of fluctuations in cash flows. The management monitors the utilisation of bank borrowings and ensures compliance with loan covenants. As at 30 June 2024, the Group had total current liabilities in excess of total current assets of RMB 2,208,237,561.88. As at 30 June 2024, the Group had available and unused line of credit and bonds amounting to RMB68,897,329,600.71, which is greater than the balance of the net current liabilities. The Group can obtain financial support from the available line of credit and bonds when needed. Therefore, the Group's management believes that the Group has no significant liquidity risk. The following is the maturity analysis for financial assets and financial liabilities held by the Group which is based on undiscounted remaining contractual obligations: Item Carrying amount Gross amount Within 1 year 1 to 5 years Over 5 years Short-term borrowings 11,914,293,884.20 11,991,406,611.07 11,991,406,611.07 - - Notes payable 33,648,733.23 33,648,733.23 33,648,733.23 - - Accounts payable 595,136,679.08 595,136,679.08 595,136,679.08 - - Other payables 4,637,311,020.75 4,637,311,020.75 4,637,311,020.75 - - Non-current liabilities due 5,623,732,333.96 7,025,181,079.54 7,025,181,079.54 - - within one year Other current liabilities 2,132,961,799.00 2,136,808,374.34 2,136,808,374.34 - - Long-term borrowings 18,985,278,952.69 19,974,585,031.13 - 17,811,909,475.70 2,162,675,555.43 Bonds payable 16,356,687,170.33 17,773,512,305.16 - 16,073,523,264.06 1,699,989,041.10 Lease liabilities 1,543,989,619.78 3,621,199,957.64 - 529,024,750.03 3,092,175,207.61 Long-term payables 3,549,972,175.88 3,582,598,841.91 - 671,822,547.34 2,910,776,294.57 - 156 - CHINA MERCHANTS PORT GROUP CO., LTD.

The CODM considers the operation of the Group in terms of business and locations. Individual operating segments for which discrete financial information is available are identified by the CODM and are operated by their respective management teams. These individual operating segments are aggregated in arriving at the reporting segments of the Group. From business and location perspectives, the management assesses the performance of the Group's business operations including ports operation, bonded logistics operation and other operations. Ports operation Ports operation includes container terminal operation, bulk and general cargo terminal operation operated by the Group and its associates and joint ventures. - 175 - CHINA MERCHANTS PORT GROUP CO., LTD.

For segment reporting, these individual operating segments have been aggregated according to the nature of their operations to give rise to more meaningful presentation. There are no material sales or other transactions between the segments.
