Development stage and cyclical characteristic of the industry in which the Company operates and its industry position during the reporting period (1) Macro economic and trade landscape In the first half of 2023, uncertainties in the global economy have increased, with a sluggish economic recovery. In particular, there remained the ongoing geopolitical friction, high inflation and large stockpiles inhibiting consumer demand in developed countries, interest rate hikes in Europe and the United States slowing down the investment growth in emerging markets, and China and the United States have launched a new round of wrestling in the high-tech field. According to the “World Economic Outlook” published by the International Monetary Fund (“IMF”) in July 2023, the global economy in 2023 was expected to increase by 3.0%, representing a decrease of 0.5 percentage points year-on-year. Specifically, developed economies were expected to grow by 1.5%, representing a decrease of 1.2 percentage points year-on-year, while emerging markets and developing economies were expected to grow by 4.0%, keeping flat year-on-year. According to the report published by U.S. Department of Commerce, the U.S. GDP grew by 2.4% in the second quarter, up from 2% in the first 12 China Merchants Port Group Co., Ltd. Interim Report 2023 quarter. According to statistics of Eurostat, in the second quarter of 2023, the Eurozone GDP grew by 0.3% quarter-on-quarter, among which German GDP was flat and France grew by 0.5% quarter-on- quarter. The economic situation in Japan was relatively complex, despite in June certain indicators such as value of industrial output rebounded more than expected, its economic and fiscal situation was still uncertain; while the economy of the South Korea grew better than expected in the second quarter, with GDP up 0.9% year-on-year, unchanged from the first quarter. In terms of global trade, the volume of global trade was expected to grow by 2.0% in 2023, representing a decrease of 3.2% year-on-year. Amidst weak consumption of goods, rising uncertainty about the future geoeconomic conditions, sluggish productivity growth and more challenging financial conditions, companies have scaled back investment in capacity. In the first half of 2023, China adhered to the general principle of seeking progress while maintaining stability under the complex and severe external environment, and China's overall economy gradually recovered with a positive momentum, and foreign trade kept stable with its improved quality as expected. According to the statistics of National Bureau of Statistics of China, China’s GDP was RMB59.30 trillion in the first half of 2023, representing an increase of 5.5% year-on-year at constant prices. However, special attention shall also be paid to the weak recovery of the world economic, slowing global trade and investment, increasing unilateralism, protectionism and geopolitical risks, as well as the lasting impact of declining external demand on China's foreign trade. According to the statistics published by the General Administration of Customs of China, the total value of imports and exports of trade in goods in China amounted to RMB20.1 trillion in the first half of 2023, representing an increase of 2.1% year-on-year, among which the export value was RMB11.46 trillion, representing an increase of 3.7% year-on-year, and the import value was RMB8.64 trillion, representing a decrease of 0.1% year-on-year. The trade surplus was RMB2.82 trillion, up 17.4%. The total value of imports and exports in China denominated in US dollar amounted to USD 2.92 trillion, representing a decrease of 4.7%. The regionalization trend of global industrial and supply chain was obvious and the implementation of RCEP has injected impetus into the integrated development of regional economy. The imports and exports between China and ASEAN denominated in RMB increased by 5.4% year-on-year in the first half of 2023. Under the trend of diversification and fragmentation of demand, cross-border e- commerce was booming, with the cross-border e-commerce imports and exports amounting to RMB 1.1 trillion in the first half of 2023, representing an increase of 16% year-on-year, according to the statistics published by the General Administration of Customs of China. The development of digital intelligence technologies such as big data, artificial intelligence, cloud computing, Internet of Things, and blockchain has exerted a profound impact on trade patterns, structures and landscape. An interdependent industrial Internet platform ecology will be built to further strengthen the flow of production factors and commodities and improve the overall efficiency. Looking ahead to the second half of 2023, the risks to global growth remain skewed to the downside, with inflation likely to remain high or even rise in the event of further shocks, including those caused by the intensifying Russia-Ukraine conflict and extreme weather, triggering further tightening of monetary policy. However, the likelihood of a more favourable outcome for global growth is also rising, and core inflation may fall faster than expected, reducing the need for tighter monetary policy. 13 China Merchants Port Group Co., Ltd. Interim Report 2023 The IMF expects the global economy to grow by 3.0% in 2023. In advanced economies, growth will continue to slow significantly in 2023, from 2.7% in 2022 to 1.5% in 2023 and 1.4% in 2024. Growth in emerging market and developing economies is expected to remain broadly stable at 4.0% in 2023 and 4.1% in 2024. Total world trade (including goods and services) is expected to grow by 2.0% in 2023, rising to 3.7% in 2024. In the second half of 2023, China's real estate sector may contract more than expected, weak confidence leads to weaker-than-expected consumption, and possible fiscal tightening in response to lower local government tax revenues, these uncertainties will put some pressure on China's economic growth. The international market demand may be better than expected, consumption growth may further release potential, the trend of digital and green economy continues to strengthen, and scientific and technological innovation will become an important driving force for China's economic development. In the coming stage, the Chinese government will continue to adhere to the general principle of seeking progress while maintaining stability, work hard to smooth the economic cycle, make greater efforts to change the growth model, adjust the structure and increase the growth momentum, and strive to achieve effective qualitative improvement and reasonable quantitative growth of the economy. (2)Trend analysis of the port and shipping industry The international shipping industry has been deeply affected by the reshaping of the global industrial and supply chain, which has led to significant adjustments in shipping route layout. According to the report of Alphaliner, a shipping consultancy, as at the end of July 2023, the capacity deployed by liner companies on Asia-Europe routes grew by 3.4% year-on-year, and a decrease of 19.1% year-on-year on trans-Pacific routes.

In 2023, uncertainties in the container transport market increased, and the fundamental of supply and demand was cautiously optimistic. The international freight rates fell sharply and hovered at low levels. On the supply side, the shipping market entered a new round of delivery capacity and the average port time continued to shorten, and the idle capacity of container ships accounted for approximately 4.4%; while on the demand side, Drewry, a shipping consultancy, expected that the global port throughput would rise by approximately 1% in 2023. Due to the decline in freight rate, shipping companies have accordingly focused on cost control and business diversification to ensure profitability, including optimizing fleet capacity, reducing charter costs and slow sailing, extending both ends of the shipping logistics chain and investing in the field of zero carbon. Affected by the global economy and trade and the international shipping industry, plus a slowdown 14 China Merchants Port Group Co., Ltd. Interim Report 2023 in the growth of the global port industry, the container business volume handled in major hub locations decreased to varying degrees. Drewry, a shipping consultancy, expected global port throughput growth of 1% in 2023 and 3% between 2024 and 2027. According to the statistics of Alphaliner, the total container throughput of the world's top 20 ports amounted to 83.43 million TEUs for the first quarter of 2023, representing a decrease of 11.7% year-on-year. In addition to the Middle East (Dubai Port) and Northeast Asia (Busan Port), the container throughput handled in ports in other regions declined in various degrees. In particular, ports in the Greater China region handled 51.54 million TEUs, representing a decrease of 0.25% year-on-year; ports in Southeast Asia handled 11.07 million TEUs, representing a decrease of 2.0% year-on-year; ports in Europe and North America handled 6.33 million TEUs and 5.35 million TEUs, respectively, representing a decrease of 8.8% and 29.9% year-on-year. While China's port industry performed well in the first half of 2023 in terms of the main indicators. According to the statistics published by the Ministry of Transport, the accumulated cargo volume handled by Chinese ports reached 8,188.8 million tonnes from January to June 2023, representing an increase of 8.0% year-on-year, and the accumulated container throughput handled reached 149.19 million TEUs, representing an increase of 4.8% year-on-year. Among which, coastal ports handled an accumulated cargo volume of 5,331.86 million tonnes, representing an increase of 7.3% year-on- year, while the accumulated container throughput was 130.88 million TEUs, representing an increase of 4.2% year-on-year. (3) The Company’s industry position The Company is the global leading port investor and operator, as one of the top port operators in the world, and has the resource endowment and unique advantages to build a world-class comprehensive port service provider.

IX Structured Bodies Controlled by the Company □ Applicable √ Not applicable X. Risks exposed by the Company and counter measures 1. Risk of macroeconomic fluctuations Internationally, the external environment is complex and severe, and the global economic recovery is 34 China Merchants Port Group Co., Ltd. Interim Report 2023 unstable, uncertain and uneven. Inflation in major developed economies is still at a high level, the pace of interest rate hikes in Europe and the United States has not stopped, the performance of emerging markets is uneven, the international trade and investment slows down, and the geopolitical situation intensifies, all these have had an impact on global economic growth and commodity trade markets, and brought challenges to the Company's overseas operations and investments. Domestically, China's economy has strong resilience, great potential, and sufficient vitality. The fundamentals for long-term growth are still solid. However, under the superposition of various factors exceeding expectations, economic development still faces triple pressures of demand contraction, supply shock, and weakening expectations. In the face of intricate macroeconomic fluctuations, the Company adheres to the global thinking in planning a layout, and the bottom-line thinking of planning ahead. We will accurately identify, scientifically adapt to, and actively seek changes. We will (1) work hard on deepening the implementation of the "14th Five-Year Plan" and the spirit of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, fully implement the new development concept under the new situation, and optimize the Company’s structure through the transformation and upgrading of the main port business, enhance the momentum of development, and promote the high-quality development of the Company; (2) further give full play to the function of the main hub of the port, and deeply implement national strategies such as the National Unified Market, the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, and the development of Yangtze River Delta, and the new land-sea corridor in the west, and help build a new development pattern of channel guidance, efficient connection, and radiation- driven development; (3) grasp the policy environment of high-level opening-up to the outside world, break down barriers, discuss cooperation, strengthen connectivity with various regions, and continuously improve the quality and coverage of port services; (4) keep an eye on international geopolitical development, follow up with the reconstruction of global industrial supply chain, actively specialize in trade movements to adjust the Company's business strategies in a timely manner and prevent the occurrence of major external risk events. 2. Policy risks There are diverse policy risks in the port industry. Internationally, strike actions in different industries and scales caused by inflation have swept across Europe and the United States, seriously affecting the normal operation of society and the stable recovery of the economy. With the negotiation between the government and labor, a series of new policies and measures may be issued. Domestically, China solidly promotes high-level opening-up to the outside world. It not only makes good use of the global market and resources to develop itself, but also promotes the common development of the world. It continuously improves the foreign cooperation supervision system and cooperation tools in trade and investment and other fields, and launches a series of import and export policies that are beneficial to the port industry. Facing the potential policy risks, on the one hand, the Company will strengthen the policy research, and form an objective and correct understanding in the analysis to provide better decision support for the Company. On the other hand, the Company will continue to improve quality and increase 35 China Merchants Port Group Co., Ltd. Interim Report 2023 efficiency, strengthen rational allocation of resources, enhance operational management through innovative technology and industry digitization, actively seek new future growth and improve sustainable profitability. 3. Operation management risks Amidst the favorable environment of domestic and overseas ports integration, the Company will fully grasp the investment opportunities of domestic and overseas ports, further optimize the network layout of ports by ways of mergers, acquisitions, restructuring and integration of resources, achieve high-level synergy between port construction and operation and provide more comprehensive services for customers around the world. With the deepening of the internationalization process, the Company is also facing negative conditions such as increased difficulties in the operation and management of ports in some regions and lower returns on investment and operational efficiency. The main risks include: (1) the uncertainty and complexity of the place where we operate, which further increases the risk of investment decisions and the difficulty of investment, operation and management; (2) significant fluctuations of the international exchange rate, with the continuous improvement of the marketization mechanism of the RMB exchange rate, two-way fluctuations in the RMB exchange rate have become the norm, and the exchange rates of some developed countries and emerging markets also entered a downward path; (3) the needs for improvement of the international operation management system, the Company shall take the initiative to improve the overall operational efficiency to meet the needs arising from the rapid development and expansion of the enterprises; (4) continuous needs for building a sound corporate risk control system to enhance our ability to cope with risks. In view of the Company's internal business management risks, we will (1) increase customer loyalty based on three improvement elements, namely “ market, resources, services ” , take the initiative to identify new customers and grasp market opportunities; (2) improve the construction of the internal control and compliance system, strengthen the legal empowerment of business capabilities, ensuring effective risk identification and control and consolidating the foundation of risk control; (3) improve the risk warning system, continue to strengthen risk identification, early warning and resolution capabilities, do a good job in key risk prevention and management in a stable and orderly manner, and continuously improve the Company's risk prevention capabilities. 36 China Merchants Port Group Co., Ltd.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE PERIOD FROM 1 JANUARY TO 30 JUNE 2023 (Unless otherwise specified, the monetary unit shall be RMB.) (I) GENERAL INFORMATION OF THE COMPANY China Merchants Port Group Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "the Company") is a stock limited company incorporated in Shenzhen, Guangdong Province, on 16 January 1993. The headquarter of the Company is located in Shenzhen, Guangdong Province. The Company and its subsidiaries (collectively referred to as "the Group") are principally engaged in the rendering of port services, bonded logistics services and other businesses such as property development and investment. The consolidated and Company's financial statements have been approved by the Board of Directors on 29 August 2023. See Note (X) "Equity in Other Entities" for details of the scope of consolidated financial statements for the current period. See Note (IX) "Changes in Scope of Consolidation" for details of changes in the scope of consolidated financial statements for the current period. (II) BASIS OF PREPARATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Basis of preparation of financial statements The Group has adopted the Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises ("ASBE") issued by the Ministry of Finance ("MoF"). In addition, the Group has disclosed relevant financial information in accordance with Compilation Rules for Information Disclosure by Companies Offering Securities to the Public No. 15 - General Provisions on Financial Reports (2014 Revision). Going concern As at 30 June 2023, the Group has total current liabilities in excess of total current assets of RMB 1,400,548,100.60. As at 30 June 2023, the Group has available and unused lines of credit and bonds amounting to RMB 67,024,496,484.81, which is greater than the balance of the net current liabilities. The Group can obtain financial support from the available lines of credit and bonds when needed. Therefore, the financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. (III) STATEMENT OF COMPLIANCE WITH THE ASBE The financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with ASBE, and present truly and completely, the consolidated and Company's financial position as of 30 June 2023, and the consolidated and Company's results of operations, shareholders' equity and cash flows for the period from 1 January to 30 June 2023. - 13 - CHINA MERCHANTS PORT GROUP CO., LTD. NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE PERIOD FROM 1 JANUARY TO 30 JUNE 2023 (Unless otherwise specified, the monetary unit shall be RMB.) (IV) SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES 1. Accounting year The Group has adopted the calendar year as its accounting year, i.e. from 1 January to 31 December. 2. Operating cycle An operating cycle refers to the period since when an enterprise purchases assets for processing purpose till the realization of those assets in cash or cash equivalents. The Group is principally engaged in the rendering of port services, bonded logistics services and other services such as property development and investment with one year being an operating cycle. 3. Functional currency Renminbi ("RMB") is the currency of the primary economic environment in which the Company and its domestic subsidiaries operate. Therefore, the Company and its domestic subsidiaries choose RMB as their functional currency. The Company's overseas subsidiaries choose their functional currency on the basis of the primary economic environment in which they operate. The Company adopts RMB to prepare its financial statements. 4. Basis of accounting and principle of measurement The Group has adopted the accrual basis of accounting. Except for certain financial instruments which are measured at fair value, the Group adopts the historical cost as the principle of measurement of the financial statements. When the Group was restructured into a stock company, fixed assets and intangible assets initially contributed by state-owned shareholders were recognized based on valuation amounts confirmed by the state-owned assets administration department. Where assets are impaired, provisions for asset impairment are made in accordance with relevant requirements. Where the historical cost is adopted as the measurement basis, assets are recorded at the amount of cash or cash equivalents paid or the fair value of the consideration given to acquire them at the time of their acquisition. Liabilities are recorded at the amount of proceeds or assets received or the contractual amounts for assuming the present obligation, or, at the amount of cash or cash equivalents expected to be paid to settle the liabilities in the normal course of business. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Regardless of whether that price is directly observable or estimated using valuation technique, fair value measurement and disclosure in the financial statements are determined according to the above basis. In the measurement of non-financial assets at fair value, market participants' ability to best utilize such assets to generate most economic benefits, or the ability to sell such assets to other market participants who are able to best utilize the assets to generate economic benefits is taken into account. - 14 - CHINA MERCHANTS PORT GROUP CO., LTD. NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE PERIOD FROM 1 JANUARY TO 30 JUNE 2023 (Unless otherwise specified, the monetary unit shall be RMB.) (IV) SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES - continued 4. Basis of accounting and principle of measurement - continued For financial assets of which the transaction price is the fair value at initial recognition, and of which the subsequent fair value measurement uses a valuation technique involving unobservable inputs, the valuation technique should be calibrated so that the initial recognition result determined using the valuation technique equals the transaction price. Fair value measurements are categorized into Level 1, 2 or 3 based on the degree to which the inputs to the fair value measurements are observable and the significance of the inputs to the fair value measurements in its entirety, which are described as follows: Level 1 inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity can access at the measurement date; Level 2 inputs are inputs, other than quoted prices included within Level 1, that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; and Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. 5. Business combinations Business combinations are classified into business combinations involving enterprises under common control and business combinations not involving enterprises under common control. 5.1 Business combinations involving enterprises under common control A business combination involving enterprises under common control is a business combination in which all of the combining enterprises are ultimately controlled by the same party or parties both before and after the combination, and that control is not transitory. Assets and liabilities obtained shall be measured at their respective carrying amounts as recorded by the combining entities at the date of the combination. The difference between the carrying amount of the net assets obtained and the carrying amount of the consideration paid for the combination is adjusted to the share premium in capital reserve. If the share premium is not sufficient to absorb the difference, any excess shall be adjusted against retained earnings. Costs that are directly attributable to the combination are charged to profit or loss for the period in which they are incurred. 5.2 Business combinations not involving enterprises under common control and goodwill A business combination not involving enterprises under common control is a business combination in which all of the combining enterprises are not ultimately controlled by the same party or parties before and after the combination. - 15 - CHINA MERCHANTS PORT GROUP CO., LTD. NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE PERIOD FROM 1 JANUARY TO 30 JUNE 2023 (Unless otherwise specified, the monetary unit shall be RMB.) (IV) SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES - continued 5. Business combinations - continued 5.2 Business combinations not involving enterprises under common control and goodwill - continued The cost of combination is the aggregate of the fair values, at the acquisition date, of the assets given, liabilities incurred or assumed, and equity securities issued by the acquirer, in exchange for control of the acquiree. Where a business combination not involving enterprises under common control is achieved in stages that involve multiple transactions, the cost of combination is the sum of the consideration paid at the acquisition date and the fair value at the acquisition date of the acquirer's previously held interest in the acquiree. Intermediary expenses (fees in respect of auditing, legal services, valuation and consultancy services, etc.) and other administrative expenses attributable to the business combination are recognized in profit or loss for the period when they are incurred. The acquiree's identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities acquired by the acquirer in a business combination that meet the recognition criteria shall be measured at fair value at the acquisition date. When a business combination contract provides for the acquirer's recovery of consideration previously paid contingent on one or multiple future event(s), the Group recognizes the contingent consideration provided in the contract as an asset, as part of the consideration transferred in the business combination, and includes it in the cost of business combination at the fair value at the acquisition date. Within 12 months after the acquisition, where the contingent consideration needs to be adjusted as new or further evidences are obtained in respect of the circumstances existed at the acquisition date, the adjustment shall be recognized and the amount originally recognized in goodwill or non-operating income shall be adjusted. A change in or adjustment to the contingent consideration under other circumstances shall be accounted for in accordance with Accounting Standards for Business Enterprise No. 22 - Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement (the "ASBE No. 22") and Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises No. 13 - Contingencies. Any changes or adjustments are included in profit or loss for the current period. Where the cost of combination exceeds the acquirer's interest in the fair value of the acquiree's identifiable net assets, the difference is treated as an asset and recognized as goodwill, which is measured at cost on initial recognition. Where the cost of combination is less than the acquirer's interest in the fair value of the acquiree's identifiable net assets, the acquirer reassesses the measurement of the fair values of the acquiree's identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities and measurement of the cost of combination. If after that reassessment, the cost of combination is still less than the acquirer's interest in the fair value of the acquiree's identifiable net assets, the acquirer recognizes the remaining difference immediately in profit or loss for the current period. - 16 - CHINA MERCHANTS PORT GROUP CO., LTD. NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE PERIOD FROM 1 JANUARY TO 30 JUNE 2023 (Unless otherwise specified, the monetary unit shall be RMB.) (IV) SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES - continued 5. Business combinations - continued 5.2 Business combinations not involving enterprises under common control and goodwill - continued If either the fair values of identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities acquired in a combination or the cost of business combination can be determined only provisionally by the end of the period in which the business combination is effected, the acquirer recognizes and measures the combination using those provisional values. Any adjustments to those provisional values within 12 months after the acquisition date are treated as if they had been recognized and measured at the acquisition date. Goodwill arising on a business combination is measured at cost less accumulated impairment losses, and is presented separately in the consolidated financial statements. For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill is considered together with the related assets group or portfolio of assets groups, i.e., goodwill is reasonably allocated to the related assets group or portfolio of assets groups expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination. An impairment loss is recognized if the recoverable amount of the assets group or portfolio of assets groups (to which the goodwill is allocated) is less than its carrying amount. The impairment loss is firstly allocated to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to such assets group or portfolio of assets groups, and then reduce the carrying amount of other assets pro-rata on the basis of the carrying amount of each asset (other than goodwill) in the assets group or portfolio of assets groups. Recoverable amount is the higher of the fair value of an asset net of cost of disposal and the present value of the asset's estimated future cash flows. The impairment loss of goodwill is recognized in profit or loss for the period when it is incurred and will not be reversed in subsequent periods. 6. Consolidated financial statements The scope of consolidation in the consolidated financial statements is determined on the basis of control. Control exists when the investor has power over the investee; is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee; and has the ability to use its power over the investee to affect its returns. The Group reassesses whether or not it controls an investee if facts and circumstances indicate that there are changes in the above elements of the definition of control. Consolidation of a subsidiary begins when the Group obtains control over the subsidiary and ceases when the Group loses control of the subsidiary. For a subsidiary already disposed of by the Group, the operating results and cash flows before the date of disposal (the date when control is lost) are included in the consolidated income statement and consolidated cash flow statement, as appropriate. - 17 - CHINA MERCHANTS PORT GROUP CO., LTD. NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE PERIOD FROM 1 JANUARY TO 30 JUNE 2023 (Unless otherwise specified, the monetary unit shall be RMB.) (IV) SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES - continued 6. Consolidated financial statements - continued For subsidiaries acquired through a business combination involving enterprises not under common control, the operating results and cash flows from the acquisition date (the date when control is obtained) are included in the consolidated income statement and consolidated cash flow statement, as appropriate. No matter when the business combination occurs in the reporting period, subsidiaries acquired through a business combination involving enterprises under common control or the combined party under merger by absorption are included in the Group's scope of consolidation as if they had been included in the scope of consolidation from the date when they first came under the common control of the ultimate controlling party. Their operating results and cash flows from the beginning of the earliest reporting period or the date when they first came under the common control of the ultimate controlling party are included in the consolidated income statement and consolidated cash flow statement, as appropriate. The significant accounting policies and accounting periods adopted by the subsidiaries are determined based on the uniform accounting policies and accounting periods set out by the Company. Where the accounting policies and accounting periods adopted by subsidiaries are inconsistent with those of the Company, appropriate adjustments are made to the subsidiaries' financial statements in accordance with the accounting policies of the Company. The effect of intra-group transactions on the consolidated financial statements is eliminated on consolidation. The portion of subsidiaries' equity that is not attributable to the Company is treated as minority interests and presented as "minority interests" in the consolidated balance sheet under the line item of shareholders' equity. The portion of net profits or losses of subsidiaries for the period attributable to minority interests is presented as "profit or loss attributable to minority interests" in the consolidated income statement under the line item of net profit. The portion of comprehensive income of subsidiaries for the period attributable to minority interests is presented as "total comprehensive income attributable to minority shareholders" in the consolidated income statement under the line item of total comprehensive income. When the minority shareholders' share of loss of a subsidiary exceeds the minority shareholders' share of the opening balance of owners' equity of the subsidiary, the excess amount is still allocated against minority interests. Acquisition of minority interests or partial disposal of equity investments in a subsidiary that do not result in the loss of control over the subsidiary is accounted for as equity transactions. The carrying amounts of the Company's interests and minority interests are adjusted to reflect the changes in their relative interests in the subsidiary. The difference between the amount by which the minority interests are adjusted and the fair value of the consideration paid or received is adjusted to capital reserve. If the capital reserve is not sufficient to absorb the difference, the excess is adjusted against retained earnings. - 18 - CHINA MERCHANTS PORT GROUP CO., LTD. NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE PERIOD FROM 1 JANUARY TO 30 JUNE 2023 (Unless otherwise specified, the monetary unit shall be RMB.) (IV) SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES - continued 6. Consolidated financial statements - continued Where equity interests in an acquiree are acquired in stages through multiple transactions, ultimately constituting a business combination not involving enterprises under common control, the accounting treatment shall be made taking into account whether these transactions are a "package deal". If yes, these transactions are accounted for as a single transaction where control is obtained. If no, they are accounted for as transactions where control is obtained at the acquisition date. Specifically, the equity interests held in the acquiree prior to the acquisition date are remeasured at the fair value at the acquisition date, and the difference between the fair value and carrying amount is recognized in profit or loss for the period; where the equity interests held in the acquiree prior to the acquisition date involve changes in other comprehensive income and other owners' equity under the equity method, the changes are transferred to income for the period to which the acquisition date is attributable. Where the control over a subsidiary is lost due to partial disposal of equity investments or other reasons, any retained interest is remeasured at its fair value at the date when control is lost. The difference between (i) the aggregate of the consideration received on disposal and the fair value of any retained interest and (ii) the share of the former subsidiary's net assets cumulatively calculated from the acquisition date according to the original proportion of ownership interests is recognized as investment income for the period in which control is lost, and the goodwill is offset accordingly. Other comprehensive income associated with equity investments in the former subsidiary is reclassified to investment income for the period in which control is lost. Where the disposal of equity investments in a subsidiary until the control is lost is achieved in stages through multiple transactions, the multiple transactions are usually considered as a package deal if the terms, conditions and economic effects of the transactions satisfy one or several of the following circumstances: (i) they are entered into at the same time or in contemplation of one another; (ii) they form a complete transaction designed to achieve an overall commercial effect; (iii) the occurrence of one transaction is dependent on the occurrence of at least one other transaction; (iv) one transaction alone is not economically justified, but it is economically justified when considered together with other transactions. Where the transactions of disposal of equity investments in a subsidiary until the control is lost are a package deal, these transactions are accounted for as a single transaction of disposal of a subsidiary resulting in loss of control. Before losing control, the difference between each disposal consideration and the corresponding share of net assets of the subsidiary continuously calculated from acquisition date is recognized as other comprehensive income. When control is lost, the cumulated other comprehensive income is transferred to profit or loss for the period in which control is lost. If the transactions of disposal of equity investments in a subsidiary until control is lost are not a package deal, these transactions are accounted for as separate transactions. 7. Joint arrangements Joint arrangement refers to the arrangement jointly controlled by two or more participating parties. The Group's joint arrangements have the following characteristics: (1) all the participating parties are bound by the arrangement; (2) the arrangement is jointly controlled by two or more participating parties. Any participating party cannot control the arrangement separately and any participating party having joint control of the arrangement can stop other participating parties or the group of participating parties from the separate control over the arrangement. - 19 - CHINA MERCHANTS PORT GROUP CO., LTD. NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE PERIOD FROM 1 JANUARY TO 30 JUNE 2023 (Unless otherwise specified, the monetary unit shall be RMB.) (IV) SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES - continued 7. Joint arrangements - continued Joint control is the contractually agreed sharing of control of an arrangement, and exists only when the decisions on the relevant activities require the unanimous consent of the parties sharing control. Joint arrangements comprise of joint operations and joint ventures. A joint operation is a joint arrangement whereby the parties sharing control have rights to the assets and assume liabilities relating to the arrangement. A joint venture is a joint arrangement whereby the parties sharing control have rights to only the net assets of the arrangement. 8. Cash and cash equivalents Cash comprises cash on hand and deposits that can be readily withdrawn on demand. Cash equivalents are the Group's short-term (generally due within 3 months since the acquisition date), highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. 9. Transactions denominated in foreign currencies and translation of financial statements denominated in foreign currencies 9.1 Transactions denominated in foreign currencies A foreign currency transaction is recorded, on initial recognition, by applying the spot exchange rate on the date of the transaction. At the balance sheet date, foreign currency monetary items are translated into functional currency using the spot exchange rates at the balance sheet date. Exchange differences arising from the differences between the spot exchange rates prevailing at the balance sheet date and those on initial recognition or at the previous balance sheet date are recognized in profit or loss for the period, except that (1) exchange differences related to a specific-purpose borrowing denominated in foreign currency that qualify for capitalization are capitalized as part of the cost of the qualifying asset during the capitalization period; (2) exchange differences related to hedging instruments for the purpose of hedging against foreign currency risks are accounted for using hedge accounting; (3) exchange differences arising from changes in the gross carrying amounts (other than the amortized cost) of monetary items classified as at fair value through other comprehensive income are recognized as other comprehensive income. When the consolidated financial statements include foreign operation(s), if there is a foreign currency monetary item constituting a net investment in a foreign operation, exchange differences arising from changes in exchange rates are recognized as "translation differences of financial statements denominated in foreign currencies" in other comprehensive income, and in profit and loss for the period upon disposal of the foreign operation. - 20 - CHINA MERCHANTS PORT GROUP CO., LTD.

(IV) SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES - continued 9. Transactions denominated in foreign currencies and translation of financial statements denominated in foreign currencies - continued 9.1 Transactions denominated in foreign currencies - continued Foreign currency non-monetary items measured at historical cost are translated to the amounts in functional currency at the spot exchange rates on the dates of the transactions and the amounts in functional currency remain unchanged. Foreign currency non-monetary items measured at fair value are re-translated at the spot exchange rates on the date the fair value is determined. Difference between the re-translated functional currency amount and the original functional currency amount is treated as changes in fair value (including changes of exchange rate) and is recognized in profit and loss or as other comprehensive income. 9.2 Translation of financial statements denominated in foreign currencies For the purpose of preparing the consolidated financial statements, financial statements of a foreign operation are translated from the foreign currency into RMB using the following method: all assets and liabilities in the balance sheet are translated at the spot exchange rates prevailing at the balance sheet date; shareholders' equity items except for unappropriated profit are translated at the spot exchange rates at the dates on which such items arise; all items in the income statement as well as items reflecting the distribution of profits are translated at the average exchange rates of the accounting period of the consolidated financial statements; the opening balance of unappropriated profit is the translated closing balance of the previous year's unappropriated profit; the closing balance of unappropriated profit is calculated and presented on the basis of each translated profit distribution item. The difference between the translated assets and the aggregate of liabilities and shareholders' equity items is recognized as other comprehensive income and included in shareholders' equity. Cash flows arising from a transaction in foreign currency and cash flows of an overseas subsidiary are translated at average exchange rates during the accounting period of consolidated financial statements. The effect of exchange rate changes on cash and cash equivalents is regarded as a reconciling item and presented separately in the cash flow statement as "effect of exchange rate changes on cash and cash equivalents". The prior year comparative figures are presented in the amounts translated based on the financial statements for the prior year. On disposal of the Group's entire interest in a foreign operation, or upon a loss of control over a foreign operation due to partial disposal of equity investments in it or other reasons, the Group transfers the accumulated exchange differences arising on translation of financial statements of this foreign operation attributable to the owners' equity of the Company and presented under other comprehensive income, to profit or loss for the period in which the disposal occurs. - 21 - CHINA MERCHANTS PORT GROUP CO., LTD.

(IV) SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES - continued 9. Transactions denominated in foreign currencies and translation of financial statements denominated in foreign currencies - continued 9.2 Translation of financial statements denominated in foreign currencies - continued In case of partial disposal of equity investments or any other reason which results in lower percentage of equity interests in a foreign operation but does not result in losing control over the foreign operation, the translation differences of financial statements denominated in foreign currencies related to this disposed part are re-attributed to minority interests and are not recognized in profit and loss. For partial disposals of equity interests in foreign operations which are associates or joint ventures, the proportionate share of the accumulated translation differences of financial statements denominated in foreign currencies of foreign operations are reclassified to profit or loss. 10. Financial instruments The Group recognizes a financial asset or a financial liability when it becomes a party to contractual provisions of a financial instrument. All regular way purchases or sales of financial assets are recognized and derecognized on a trade date basis. Financial assets and financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value. For financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss for the period, relevant transaction costs are directly recognized in profit or loss; upon initial recognition of contract assets, accounts receivable and notes receivable that do not contain significant financing component or without considering the financing component included in the contract with a term not exceeding one year under the Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises No. 14 - Revenue ("Revenue Standards"), the Group adopts the transaction price as defined in the Revenue Standards for initial measurement. The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortized cost of a financial asset or a financial liability and of allocating the interest income or interest expenses over the relevant accounting periods. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash flows through the expected life of the financial asset or financial liability to the gross carrying amount of the financial asset or to the amortized cost of the financial liability. When calculating the effective interest rate, the Group estimates future cash flows by considering all the contractual terms of the financial asset or financial liability (such as repayment in advance, extension, call option or other similar options) (without considering the expected credit losses). - 22 - CHINA MERCHANTS PORT GROUP CO., LTD. NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE PERIOD FROM 1 JANUARY TO 30 JUNE 2023 (Unless otherwise specified, the monetary unit shall be RMB.) (IV) SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES - continued 10. Financial instruments - continued The amortized cost of a financial asset or a financial liability is the amount of a financial asset or a financial liability initially recognized net of principal repaid, plus or less the cumulative amortized amount arising from amortization of the difference between the amount initially recognized and the amount at the maturity date using the effective interest method, net of cumulative credit loss allowance (only applicable to financial assets). 10.1 Classification, recognition and measurement of financial assets Subsequent to initial recognition, the Group's financial assets of various categories are subsequently measured at amortized cost, at fair value through other comprehensive income or at fair value through profit or loss. If contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding, and the financial asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold financial assets in order to collect contractual cash flows, the Group classifies the financial asset as financial assets at amortized cost. Such types of financial assets mainly include cash and bank balances, notes receivable, accounts receivable, other receivables, debt investments and long-term receivables. If contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding, and the financial asset is held within a business model whose objective is achieved by both collecting contractual cash flows and selling the financial asset, the Group classifies the financial asset as financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income ("FVTOCI"). Accounts receivable and notes receivable classified as FVTOCI at acquisition are presented as receivables financing, while the remaining items due within one year (inclusive) upon acquisition are presented under other current assets. Other financial assets of such type are presented as other debt investments if they are due after one year since the acquisition, or presented under non-current assets due within one year if they are due within one year (inclusive) since the balance sheet date. On initial recognition, the Group may irrevocably designate non-trading equity instruments, other than contingent consideration recognized through business combination not involving enterprises under common control, as financial assets at FVTOCI on an individual basis. Such financial assets at FVTOCI are presented as investments in other equity instruments. A financial asset is classified as held for trading if one of the following conditions is satisfied: It has been acquired principally for the purpose of selling in the near term; or On initial recognition it is part of a portfolio of identified financial instruments that the Group manages together and there is objective evidence that the Group has a recent actual pattern of short-term profit-taking; or It is a derivative that is not a financial guarantee contract or designated and effective as a hedging instrument. - 23 - CHINA MERCHANTS PORT GROUP CO., LTD.

(IV) SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES - continued 10. Financial instruments - continued 10.1 Classification, recognition and measurement of financial assets - continued Financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss ("FVTPL") include those classified as financial assets at FVTPL and those designated as financial assets at FVTPL. Financial assets not satisfying the criteria of classification as financial assets at amortized cost and financial assets at FVTOCI are classified as financial assets at FVTPL. Upon initial recognition, the Group may irrevocably designate the financial assets as at FVTPL if doing so eliminates or significantly reduces accounting mismatch. Financial assets at FVTPL assets other than derivative financial assets are presented as "held-for- trading financial assets". Financial assets with a maturity over one year since the balance sheet date (or without a fixed maturity) and expected to be held for over one year are presented under other non-current financial assets. 10.1.1 Financial assets measured at amortized cost Financial assets measured at amortized cost are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. Gain or loss arising from impairment or derecognition is recognized in profit or loss. For financial assets measured at amortized cost, the Group recognizes interest income using the effective interest method. The Group calculates and recognizes interest income by applying the effective interest rate to the gross carrying amount of the financial assets, except for the following circumstances: For purchased or originated credit-impaired financial assets, the Group calculates and recognizes the interest income based on amortized cost of the financial assets and the credit- adjusted effective interest rate. 10.1.2 Financial assets at FVTOCI Changes in fair value of financial assets at FVTOCI are included in other comprehensive income, except that related impairment losses or gains, interest income calculated using the effective interest method and exchange gains or losses are recognized in profit or loss for the current period. Amounts charged to profit or loss for each period equal to the amount charged to profit or loss as if it has always been measured at amortized cost. Upon derecognition of the financial asset, the cumulative gains or losses previously recognized in other comprehensive income shall be transferred out from other comprehensive income and recognized in profit or loss. - 24 - CHINA MERCHANTS PORT GROUP CO., LTD.

Financial instruments - continued 10.1 Classification, recognition and measurement of financial assets - continued 10.1.2 Financial assets at FVTOCI - continued Changes in fair value of non-trading equity instrument investments designated as financial assets at FVTOCI are recognized in other comprehensive income, and the cumulative gains or losses previously recognized in other comprehensive income are transferred out and included in retained earnings upon derecognition of the financial assets. During the period in which the Group holds the non-trading equity instruments, revenue from dividends is recognized in profit or loss for the current period when (1) the Group's right to collect dividends has been established; (2) it is probable that the associated economic benefits will flow to the Group; and (3) the amount of dividends can be measured reliably. 10.1.3 Financial assets at FVTPL Financial assets at FVTPL are subsequently measured at fair value. Gains or losses arising from changes in fair values and dividends and interests related to the financial assets are recognized in profit or loss. 10.2 Impairment of financial instruments For financial assets at amortized cost, financial assets classified as at FVTOCI, lease receivables, contract assets, loan commitments that are not financial liabilities at FVTPL, financial guarantee contracts that are neither financial liabilities at FVTPL nor financial liabilities arising from transfer of financial assets that does not satisfy the derecognition criteria or continuing involvement in the transferred financial assets, the Group accounts for the impairment and recognizes the provision for losses on the basis of expected credit loss ("ECL"). For all contract assets, accounts receivable and notes receivable arising from transactions regulated by Revenue Standards, and lease receivables arising from transactions regulated by the Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises No. 21 - Leases, the Group recognizes the provision for losses at an amount equivalent to the lifetime ECL. For other financial instruments, other than purchased or originated credit-impaired financial assets, the Group assesses changes in credit risks of the relevant financial asset since initial recognition at each balance sheet date. If the credit risk has increased significantly since initial recognition of the financial instruments, the Group recognizes the provision for losses at an amount equivalent to lifetime ECL; if the credit risk has not increased significantly since initial recognition of the financial instruments, the Group recognizes the provision for losses at an amount equivalent to 12- month ECL. The increase or reversal of credit loss provision for financial assets other than those classified as at FVTOCI is recognized as impairment loss or gain and included in profit or loss for the period. For financial assets classified as at FVTOCI, the credit loss provision is recognized in other comprehensive income and the impairment loss or gain is included in profit or loss for the period without reducing the carrying amount of the financial assets in the balance sheet. - 25 - CHINA MERCHANTS PORT GROUP CO., LTD.

(IV) SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES - continued 10. Financial instruments - continued 10.2 Impairment of financial instruments - continued Where the Group has measured the provision for losses at an amount equivalent to lifetime ECL of a financial instrument in prior accounting period, but the financial instrument no longer satisfies the criteria of significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition at the current balance sheet date, the Group recognizes the provision for losses of the financial instrument at an amount equivalent to 12-month ECL at the current balance sheet date, with any resulting reversal of provision for losses recognized as impairment gains in profit or loss for the period. 10.2.1 Significant increase in credit risk The Group uses reasonable and supportable forward-looking information to assess whether the credit risk has increased significantly since initial recognition by comparing the risk of a default occurring on the financial instrument at the balance sheet date with the risk of a default occurring on the financial instrument at the date of initial recognition. For loan commitments and financial guarantee contracts, the date that the Group becomes a party to the irrevocable commitment is considered as the date of initial recognition in applying the provisions on impairment of financial instruments. In particular, the following information is taken into account when assessing whether credit risk has increased significantly: (1) Significant changes in internal price indicators of credit risk as a result of a change in credit risk. (2) Significant changes in the rates or other terms of an existing financial instrument if the instrument was newly originated or issued at the balance sheet date (such as more stringent covenants, increased amounts of collateral or guarantees, or higher rate of return). (3) Significant changes in external market indicators of credit risk for the same financial instrument or similar financial instruments with the same expected life. These indicators include the credit spread, the credit swap prices for the borrower, the length of time or the extent to which the fair value of a financial asset has been less than its amortized cost and other market information related to the borrower, such as changes in the price of a borrower's debt and equity instruments. (4) An actual or expected significant change in the financial instrument's external credit rating. (5) An actual or expected internal credit rating downgrade for the borrower. (6) Adverse changes in business, financial or economic conditions that are expected to cause a significant change in the debtor's ability to meet its debt obligations. (7) An actual or expected significant change in the operating results of the debtor. (8) Significant increases in credit risk on other financial instruments of the same debtor. (9) Significant adverse change in the regulatory, economic, or technological environment of the debtor. - 26 - CHINA MERCHANTS PORT GROUP CO., LTD.

(IV) SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES - continued 10. Financial instruments - continued 10.2 Impairment of financial instruments - continued 10.2.1 Significant increase in credit risk - continued (10) Significant changes in the value of the collateral supporting the obligation or in the quality of third-party guarantees or credit enhancements, which are expected to reduce the debtor's economic motives to repay within the time limit specified in contract or affect the probability of default. (11) Significant changes in the debtor's economic motives to repay within the time limit specified in contract. (12) Expected changes to loan contract, including the exemption or revision of contractual obligations, the granting of interest-free periods, the jump in interest rates, the requirement for additional collateral or guarantees, or other changes in the contractual framework for financial instruments that may result from the breach of contract. (13) Significant changes in the expected performance and behaviour of the debtor. (14) Changes in the Group's credit management approach in relation to the financial instruments. The Group assumes that the credit risk on a financial instrument has not increased significantly since initial recognition if the financial instrument is determined to have lower credit risk at the balance sheet date. A financial instrument is determined to have lower credit risk if: i) it has a lower risk of default; ii) the borrower has a strong capacity to meet its contractual cash flow obligations in the near term; and iii) adverse changes in economic and business conditions in the longer term may, but will not necessarily, reduce the ability of the borrower to fulfil its contractual cash flow obligations. 10.2.2 Credit-impaired financial assets When an event or several events that are expected to have adverse impact on the future cash flows of the financial assets have occurred, the financial assets become credit-impaired. The evidences of credit impairment of financial assets include the following observable information: (1) Significant financial difficulty of the issuer or debtor. (2) A breach of contract by the debtor, such as a default or delinquency in interest or principal payments. (3) The creditor, for economic or legal reasons relating to the debtor's financial difficulty, granting a concession to the debtor. (4) It is probable that the debtor will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganizations. (5) The disappearance of an active market for that financial asset because of financial difficulties of the issuer or the debtor. (6) Purchase or origination of a financial asset with a large scale of discount, which reflects facts of credit loss incurred. - 27 - CHINA MERCHANTS PORT GROUP CO., LTD.

(IV) SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES - continued 10. Financial instruments - continued 10.2 Impairment of financial instruments - continued 10.2.2 Credit-impaired financial assets - continued Based on the Group's internal credit risk management, the Group considers an event of default occurs when information developed internally or obtained from external sources indicates that the debtor is unlikely to pay its creditors, including the Group, in full (without taking into account any collaterals held by the Group). 10.2.3 Determination of expected credit loss Lease receivables are assessed for ECL individually by the Group. In addition, the Group uses impairment matrix to calculate ECL for notes receivable, accounts receivable, other receivables, contract assets, debt investments and other debt investments on a portfolio basis. The Group classifies financial instruments into different groups based on common risk characteristics. Common credit risk characteristics include credit risk rating, the date of initial recognition, remaining contractual period, industry of debtor and geographical location of the debtor. The Group determines the ECL of relevant financial instruments using the following methods: For a financial asset, the credit loss is the present value of the difference between the contractual cash flows that are due to the Group under the contract and the cash flows that the Group expects to receive. For a lease receivable, the credit loss is the present value of the difference between the contractual cash flows that are due to the Group under the contract and the cash flows that the Group expects to receive. For undrawn loan commitments (refer to Note (IV) 10.4.1.3 for details of accounting policies), the ECL is the present value of the difference between the contractual cash flows that are due to the Group if the holder of the loan commitments draws down the loan, and the cash flows that the Group expects to receive if the loan is drawn down. The Group's estimation of the ECL for loan commitments is consistent with its expectation of the loan commitments drawn down. For a financial guarantee contract (refer to Note (IV) 10.4.1.3 for details of accounting policies), the expected loss is the present value of the expected payments to reimburse the holder for a credit loss that it incurs less any amounts that the Group expects to receive from the holder, the debtor or any other party. For a financial asset that has become credit-impaired at the balance sheet date, but not a purchased or originated credit-impaired financial asset, the credit loss is the difference between the asset's gross carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows discounted at the financial asset's original effective interest rate. - 28 - CHINA MERCHANTS PORT GROUP CO., LTD.

Financial instruments - continued 10.2 Impairment of financial instruments - continued 10.2.3 Determination of expected credit loss - continued The factors reflected by the Group's measurement of ECL of financial instruments include: unbiased probability weighted average amount recognized by assessing a series of possible results; time value of money; reasonable and supportable information related to historical events, current condition and forecast of future economic position that is available without undue cost or effort at the balance sheet date. 10.2.4 Write-down of financial assets When the Group no longer reasonably expects that the contractual cash flows of financial assets can be collected in aggregate or in part, the Group will directly write down the gross carrying amount of the financial asset, which constitutes derecognition of relevant financial assets. 10.3 Transfer of financial assets The Group will derecognize a financial asset if one of the following conditions is satisfied: (i) the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire; (ii) the financial asset has been transferred and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset is transferred to the transferee; or (iii) although the financial asset has been transferred, the Group neither transfers nor retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset but has not retained control of the financial asset. If the Group neither transfers nor retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of a financial asset, and it retains control of the financial asset, the Group will recognize the financial asset to the extent of its continuing involvement in the transferred financial asset and recognize an associated liability. The Group will measure relevant liabilities as follows: For transferred financial assets carried at amortized cost, the carrying amount of relevant liabilities is the carrying amount of financial assets transferred with continuing involvement less amortized cost of the Group's retained rights (if the Group retains relevant rights upon transfer of financial assets) with addition of amortized cost of obligations assumed by the Group (if the Group assumes relevant obligations upon transfer of financial assets). Relevant liabilities are not designated as financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss. For transferred financial assets carried at fair value, the carrying amount of relevant financial liabilities is the carrying amount of financial assets transferred with continuing involvement less fair value of the Group's retained rights (if the Group retains relevant rights upon transfer of financial assets) with addition of fair value of obligations assumed by the Group (if the Group assumes relevant obligations upon transfer of financial assets). Accordingly, the fair value of relevant rights and obligations shall be measured on an individual basis. - 29 - CHINA MERCHANTS PORT GROUP CO., LTD.

Where the transferred assets are non- trading equity instrument investments designated as at FVTOCI, cumulative gains or losses previously recognized in other comprehensive income are transferred out and included in retained earnings. If a part of the transferred financial asset qualifies for derecognition, the overall carrying amount of the financial asset prior to transfer is allocated between the part that continues to be recognized and the part that is derecognized, based on the respective fair values of those parts on transfer date. The difference between (1) the sum of the consideration received for the part derecognized and any cumulative gain or loss allocated to the part derecognized which has been previously recognized in other comprehensive income, and (2) the carrying amount allocated to the part derecognized on derecognition date is recognized in profit or loss. If the transferred asset is a non-trading equity instrument investment designated as at FVTOCI, the cumulative gain or loss that has been previously recognized in other comprehensive income is transferred out and included in retained earnings. If the transfer of a financial asset in its entirety does not satisfy the derecognition criteria, the Group continues to recognize the transferred financial asset in its entirety. The consideration received from transfer of assets is recognized as a financial liability upon receipt. 10.4 Classification of financial liabilities and equity instruments Financial instruments issued by the Group are classified into financial liabilities or equity instruments on the basis of the substance of the contractual arrangements and the economic nature not only its legal form, together with the definition of financial liabilities and equity instruments on initial recognition. 10.4.1 Classification, recognition and measurement of financial liabilities On initial recognition, financial liabilities are classified into financial liabilities at FVTPL and other financial liabilities. 10.4.1.1 Financial liabilities at FVTPL Financial liabilities at FVTPL consist of held-for-trading financial liabilities (including derivatives classified as financial liabilities) and those designated as at FVTPL. Except for derivative financial liabilities presented separately, the financial liabilities at FVTPL are presented as held-for-trading financial liabilities. - 30 - CHINA MERCHANTS PORT GROUP CO., LTD.

Financial instruments - continued 10.4 Classification of financial liabilities and equity instruments - continued 10.4.1 Classification, recognition and measurement of financial liabilities - continued 10.4.1.1 Financial liabilities at FVTPL - continued A financial liability is classified as held for trading if one of the following conditions is satisfied: It has been assumed principally for the purpose of repurchasing in the near term; or On initial recognition it is part of a portfolio of identified financial instruments that the Group manages together and there is objective evidence that the Group has a recent actual pattern of short-term profit-taking; or It is a derivative that is not a financial guarantee contract or designated and effective as a hedging instrument. A financial liability may be designated as at FVTPL on initial recognition when one of the following conditions is satisfied: (i) such designation eliminates or significantly reduces accounting mismatch; or (ii) the Group makes management and performance evaluation on a fair value basis, in accordance with the Group's formally documented risk management or investment strategy, and reports to key management personnel on that basis; or (iii) the qualified hybrid contract containing embedded derivatives. Held-for-trading financial liabilities are subsequently measured at fair value. Any gains or losses arising from changes in the fair value and any dividend or interest expenses paid on the financial liabilities are recognized in profit or loss. For a financial liability designated as at FVTPL, the amount of changes in fair value of the financial liability that are attributable to changes in the credit risk of that liability shall be presented in other comprehensive income, while other changes in fair value are included in profit or loss for the current period. Upon the derecognition of such financial liability, the accumulated amount of change in fair value due to the change in the credit risk of such financial liability, which was recognized in other comprehensive income, is transferred to retained earnings. Any dividend or interest expense on the financial liability is recognized in profit or loss. If the accounting treatment for the impact of the change in credit risk of such financial liability in the above ways would create or enlarge an accounting mismatch in profit or loss, the Group shall present all gains or losses on that liability (including the effects of changes in the credit risk of that liability) in profit or loss for the period. For financial liabilities arising from contingent consideration recognized by the Group as the acquirer in the business combination not involving enterprises under common control, the Group measures such financial liabilities at fair value, and includes the changes in the financial liabilities in profit or loss for the period. - 31 - CHINA MERCHANTS PORT GROUP CO., LTD.

If the modification or renegotiation for the contract by the Group and its counterparties does not result in derecognition of a financial liability subsequently measured at amortized cost but the changes in contractual cash flows, the Group will recalculate the carrying amount of the financial liability, with relevant gain or loss recognized in profit or loss. The Group will determine the carrying amount of the financial liability based on the present value of renegotiated or modified contractual cash flows discounted at the original effective interest rate of the financial liability. For all costs or expenses arising from modification or renegotiation of the contract, the Group will adjust the modified carrying amount of the financial liability and make amortization during the remaining term of the modified financial liability. 10.4.1.3 Financial guarantee contracts and loan commitments A financial guarantee contract is a contract that requires the issuer to make specified payments to reimburse the holder of the contract for a loss it incurs because a specified debtor fails to make payment when due in accordance with the original or modified terms of a debt instrument. Subsequent to initial recognition, financial guarantee contracts that are not designated as financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss or financial liabilities arising from transfer of financial assets that do not meet the derecognition criteria or those arising from continuing involvement in the transferred financial assets, and loan commitments to provide a loan at a below-market interest rate, which are not designated at fair value through profit or loss, are measured at the higher of: (1) amount of loss provision; and (2) the amount initially recognized less cumulative amortization amount determined based on the revenue standards. 10.4.2 Derecognition of financial liabilities The Group derecognizes a financial liability (or part of it) when the underlying present obligation (or part of it) is discharged. An agreement between the Group (the debtor) and the creditor to replace the original financial liability with a new financial liability with substantially different terms is accounted for as an extinguishment of the original financial liability and the recognition of a new financial liability. - 32 - CHINA MERCHANTS PORT GROUP CO., LTD.

Equity instruments issued (including refinanced), repurchased, sold and cancelled by the Group are recognized as changes of equity. Changes in fair value of equity instruments is not recognized by the Group. Transaction costs related to equity transactions are deducted from equity. The Group recognizes the distribution to holders of the equity instruments as distribution of profits, dividends paid do not affect total amount of shareholders' equity. 10.5 Derivatives and embedded derivatives Derivatives include forward exchange contracts, currency swaps, interest rate swaps and foreign exchange options. Derivatives are initially measured at fair value at the date when the derivative contracts are entered into and are subsequently remeasured at fair value. For a hybrid contract comprising of embedded derivatives and a host contract, if the host contract is a financial asset, the Group does not separate the embedded derivatives from the hybrid contract but takes the hybrid contract as a whole in applying relevant accounting standards regarding the classification of financial assets. If the host contract of the hybrid contract is not a financial asset, the embedded derivatives are separated from the hybrid contract and treated as separate derivatives by the Group when they meet all the following conditions: (1) the economic characteristics and risks of the embedded derivative are not closely related to those of the host contract. (2) a separate instrument with the same terms as the embedded derivative would meet the definition of a derivative. (3) the hybrid contract is not measured at fair value through profit or loss. - 33 - CHINA MERCHANTS PORT GROUP CO., LTD.

Financial instruments - continued 10.5 Derivatives and embedded derivatives - continued For the embedded derivative separated from the hybrid contract, the Group accounts for the host contract in the hybrid contract with applicable accounting standards. If the fair value of the embedded derivatives cannot be measured reliably by the Group according to the terms and conditions of the embedded derivatives, the fair value of such derivatives are measured at the difference between the fair value of the hybrid contract and the fair value of the host contract. After adopting the above method, if the fair value of the embedded derivative still cannot be measured on a stand-alone basis at acquisition date or subsequent balance sheet dates, the hybrid contract, as a whole, is designated as financial instruments at FVTPL. 10.6 Offsetting financial assets and financial liabilities Where the Group has a legal right that is currently enforceable to offset the recognized financial assets and financial liabilities, and intends either to settle on a net basis, or to realize the financial asset and settle the financial liability simultaneously, a financial asset and a financial liability shall be offset and the net amount is presented in the balance sheet. Except for the above circumstances, financial assets and financial liabilities shall be presented separately in the balance sheet and shall not be offset. 10.7 Compound instrument For convertible bonds issued by the Group that contain both liabilities and conversion option that may convert the liabilities to its own equity instrument, upon initial recognition, the bonds are split into liabilities and conversion option which are separately recognized. Therein, the conversion option that exchanges a fixed amount of cash or other financial assets for a fixed amount of equity instruments is accounted for as an equity instrument. Upon initial recognition, the fair value of liability portion is determined based on the prevailing market price of the bonds containing no conversion option. The overall issue price of the convertible bonds net of the fair value of the liability portion is considered as the value of the conversion option that enables the bonds holder to convert the bonds to equity instruments, and is included in other equity instruments. The liability portion of the convertible bonds is subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method; the value of the conversion option classified as equity instrument remain in equity instrument. The expiry or conversion of convertible bonds will not result in loss or gain. The transaction costs incurred for issuance of the convertible bonds are allocated between the liability portion and equity instrument portion in proportion to their respective fair value. The transaction cost relating to the equity instrument portion is directly included in equity instrument; while the transaction cost relating to the liability portion is included in the carrying amount of the liability, and amortized over the lifetime of the convertible bonds using the effective interest method. - 34 - CHINA MERCHANTS PORT GROUP CO., LTD.

The financial assets are reclassified by the Group and are accounted for prospectively since the date of reclassification (i.e. the first date of the initial reporting period after the business model of which the financial assets are reclassified by the enterprise is changed). Where a financial asset at amortized cost is reclassified as a financial assets FVTPL by the Group, such financial asset is measured at fair value at the date of reclassification and the difference between the original carrying amount and the fair value is recognized in profit or loss for the period. Where a financial asset at amortized cost is reclassified as a financial asset at FVTOCI by the Group, such financial asset is measured at the fair value at the date of reclassification, and the difference between the original amount and the fair value is recognized in other comprehensive income. Where a financial asset at FVTOCI is reclassified as a financial asset at amortized cost by the Group, the accumulated gains or losses previously recognized in other comprehensive income are transferred out and the fair value at the date of reclassification is adjusted. The adjusted fair value is determined as the new carrying amount, as if the financial asset has been always measured at amortized cost. The reclassification of the financial asset shall not affect its effective interest rate or the measurement of ECL. Where a financial asset at FVTOCI is reclassified as a financial asset at FVTPL by the Group, such financial asset continues to be measured at fair value. At the same time, the accumulated gains or losses previously recognized in other comprehensive income are transferred to profit or loss for the period. Where a financial asset at FVTPL is reclassified as a financial asset at amortized cost by the Group, the fair value at the date of reclassification is recognized as the new gross carrying amount. Where a financial asset at FVTPL is reclassified as a financial asset at FVTOCI by the Group, such financial asset continues to be measured at fair value. Where a financial asset at FVTPL is reclassified, the effective interest rate is determined on the basis of the fair value of the financial asset at the date of reclassification. - 35 - CHINA MERCHANTS PORT GROUP CO., LTD.

Accounts receivable The Group performs internal credit ratings on customers and determines expected losses rate of notes receivable, accounts receivable, other receivables and long-term receivables. Basis for determining ratings and the expected losses rates are as follows: Internal Average expected Basis for determining portfolio credit rating loss rate (%) Customers can make repayments within credit term and have good credit A records based on historical experience. The probability of default on 0.00-0.10 payment of due amounts is extremely low in the foreseeable future. The customer may have overdue payment based on historical experience B 0.10-0.30 but they can make repayments. The evidences indicate that the overdue credit risks of the customer are C 0.30-50.00 significantly increased and there is probability of default on payment. The evidences indicate that the accounts receivable are impaired or the D customer has significant financial difficulty. The amounts cannot be 50.00-100.00 recovered in the foreseeable future. 12. Receivables financing Notes receivable classified as at FVTOCI are presented as receivables financing if they are due within one year (including one year) from the date of acquisition; or presented as other debt investments if they are due after one year from the date of acquisition. For related accounting policies, refer to Note (IV) 10. 13. Inventories 13.1 Categories of inventories Inventories include raw materials, goods on hand and others. Inventories are initially measured at cost. Cost of inventories comprises all costs of purchase, costs of conversion and other expenditures incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition. 13.2 Valuation methods of inventories upon delivery The actual cost of inventories upon delivery is calculated using the weighted average method and first-in-first-out method. 13.3 Basis for determining net realizable value of inventories and provision methods for decline in value of inventories At the balance sheet date, inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value. If the cost of inventories is higher than the net realizable value, a provision for decline in value of inventories is made. - 36 - CHINA MERCHANTS PORT GROUP CO., LTD.

Inventories - continued 13.3 Basis for determining net realizable value of inventories and provision methods for decline in value of inventories - continued Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs of completion, the estimated costs necessary to make the sale and relevant taxes. Net realizable value is determined on the basis of clear evidence obtained, after taking into consideration purposes of inventories being held and effect of post balance sheet events. Provision for decline in value of other inventories is made based on the excess of cost of inventory over its net realizable value on an item-by-item basis. After the provision for decline in value of inventories is made, if the circumstances that previously caused inventories to be written down below cost no longer exist so that the net realizable value of inventories is higher than their cost, the original provision for decline in value is reversed and the reversal is included in profit or loss for the period. 13.4 Inventory count system The perpetual inventory system is adopted as inventory count system. 13.5 Amortization methods for low cost and short-lived consumable items and packaging materials Packaging materials and low cost and short-lived consumable items are amortized using the immediate write-off method. 14. Contract assets 14.1 Recognition and criteria of contract assets A contract asset represents the Group's right to consideration in exchange for goods or services that the Group has transferred to a customer, and such right depends on factors other than the passage of time. The Group's unconditional right (i.e., depending on the passage of time only) to receive consideration from the customer is separately presented as receivables. 14.2 Determination and accounting treatments of expected credit losses ("ECL") for contract assets Refer to Note (IV) 10.2 "Impairment of financial instruments" for determination and accounting treatments of ECL for contract assets. - 37 - CHINA MERCHANTS PORT GROUP CO., LTD.

Assets held for sale Non-current assets and disposal groups are classified as held-for-sale category when the Group recovers the carrying amount through a sale (including an exchange of nonmonetary assets that has commercial substance) rather than continuing use. Non-current assets or disposal groups classified as held-for-sale are required to satisfy the following conditions: (1) the asset or disposal group is available for immediate sale in its present condition according to the terms that are usual and customary for sales of such asset or disposal group; (2) the sale is highly probable, i.e. the Group has made a resolution about selling plan and obtained a confirmed purchase commitment and the sale is expected to be completed within one year. When there is loss of control over a subsidiary due to disposal of investments in the subsidiary, and the proposed disposal of investments in the subsidiary satisfies classification criteria of held-for- sale category, the investments in subsidiaries are classified as held-for-sale category as a whole in the Company's separate financial statements, and all assets and liabilities of subsidiaries are classified as held-for-sale category in the consolidated financial statements regardless of whether that part of the equity investments are remained after the sale. The Group measures the non-current assets or disposal groups classified as held-for-sale at the lower of their carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell. Where the carrying amount is higher than the fair value net of costs to sell, the carrying amount should be reduced to the fair value net of costs to sell, and such reduction is recognized in impairment loss of assets and included in profit or loss for the period. Meanwhile, provision for impairment of held-for-sale assets is made. When there is an increase in the fair value of non-current assets held-for-sale net of costs to sell at the balance sheet date, the original reduction should be reversed in impairment loss of assets recognized after the classification of held-for-sale category, and the reversal amount is included in profit or loss for the period. The impairment losses recognized before such assets are classified as held-for-sale category shall not be reversed. Non-current assets classified as held-for-sale or non-current assets in disposal groups are not depreciated or amortized, and interest and other costs of liabilities of disposal groups classified as held-for-sale continue to be recognized. All or part of equity investments in associates or joint ventures are classified as held-for-sale assets. For the part that is classified as held-for-sale, it is no longer accounted for using the equity method since the date of the classification. If an asset or a disposal group classified as held for sale subsequently no longer satisfy the criteria for recognition as held-for-sale, the Group shall cease to classify the asset or disposal group as held for sale. It shall be measured at the lower of (1) the carrying amount of the asset or disposal group before being classified as held for sale, as adjusted for any depreciation, amortization or impairment that would have been recognized had the asset or disposal group not been classified as held for sale; and (2) the recoverable amount at the date of the decision not to sell. If equity investments in associates or joint ventures classified as held for sale no longer satisfy the criteria of classification as held-for-sale, such investments are accounted for retrospectively using the equity method from the date when they are classified as held for sale. The financial statements for the period of classification as held-for-sale are adjusted accordingly. - 38 - CHINA MERCHANTS PORT GROUP CO., LTD.

(IV) SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES - continued 16. Long-term equity investments 16.1 Basis for determining joint control and significant influence over investee Control is archived when the Group has the power over the investee and has rights to variable returns from its involvement with the investee; and has the ability to use its power to affect its returns. Joint control is the contractually agreed sharing of control over an arrangement, and exists only when the decisions on relevant activities of the arrangement require unanimous consent of participants sharing control. Significant influence is the power to participate in the financial and operating policy decisions of the investee but is not control or joint control over those policies. When determining whether an investing enterprise is able to exercise control or significant influence over an investee, the effect of potential voting rights of the investee (for example, warrants and convertible debts) held by the investing enterprises or other parties that are currently exercisable or convertible shall be considered. 16.2 Determination of initial investment cost For a long-term equity investment acquired through a business combination involving enterprises under common control, the share of carrying amount of owners' equity of the acquiree in the consolidated financial statements of ultimate controlling party is recognized as initial investment cost of long-term equity investment at the date of combination. The difference between the initial investment cost and the carrying amount of cash paid, non-cash assets transferred and liabilities assumed shall be adjusted to capital reserve. If the balance of capital reserve is not sufficient to absorb the difference, any excess is adjusted to retained earnings. If the consideration of the combination is satisfied by the issue of equity securities, the initial investment cost of the long-term equity investment is the share of carrying amount of owners' equity of the acquiree in the consolidated financial statements of the ultimate controlling party at the date of combination. The aggregate face value of the shares issued shall be accounted for as share capital. The difference between the initial investment cost and the aggregate face value of the shares issued is adjusted to capital reserve. If the balance of capital reserve is not sufficient to absorb the difference, any excess is adjusted to retained earnings. Where equity interests in an acquiree are acquired in stages through multiple transactions, ultimately constituting a business combination involving enterprises under common control, the accounting treatment shall be made taking into account whether these transactions are a "package deal". If yes, these transactions are accounted for as a single transaction where control is obtained. If no, the initial investment cost of the long-term equity investment is the share of carrying amount of owners' equity of the acquiree in the ultimate controlling party's consolidated financial statements at the date of combination. The difference between the initial investment cost and the sum of carrying amount of equity investments previously held in the acquiree and the new investment cost is adjusted to capital reserve. If the balance of capital reserve is not sufficient to absorb the difference, any excess is adjusted to retained earnings. Other comprehensive income recognized for the previously held equity investments under the equity method or non-trading equity instrument investments designated as at FVTOCI is not subject to accounting treatment temporarily. - 39 - CHINA MERCHANTS PORT GROUP CO., LTD.

(IV) SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES - continued 16. Long-term equity investments - continued 16.2 Determination of initial investment cost - continued For a long-term equity investment acquired through business combination not involving enterprises under common control, the initial investment cost of the long-term equity investment acquired is the cost of acquisition. The absorbing party's or acquirer's intermediary expenses (fees in respect of auditing, legal services, valuation and consultancy services, etc.) and other administrative expenses attributable to the business combination are recognized in profit or loss for the period when they are incurred. The long-term equity investment acquired otherwise than through a business combination is initially measured at its cost. When the entity is able to exercise significant influence or joint control (but not control) over an investee due to additional investment, the cost of long-term equity investments is the sum of the fair value of previously-held equity investments determined in accordance with the ASBE No. 22 and the additional investment cost. 16.3 Subsequent measurement and recognition of profit or loss 16.3.1 Long-term equity investments accounted for using the cost method Long-term equity investments in subsidiaries are accounted for using the cost method in the Company's separate financial statements. A subsidiary is an investee that is controlled by the Group. Under the cost method, a long-term equity investment is measured at initial investment cost. Additional or recovered investment is adjusted to the cost of long-term equity investment. Investment income is recognized in the period in accordance with the attributable share of cash dividends or profit distributions declared by the investee. 16.3.2 Long-term equity investments accounted for using the equity method Except for investments in associates and joint ventures completely or partly classified as held-for- sale, the Group accounts for investment in associates and joint ventures using the equity method. An associate is an entity over which the Group has significant influence. A joint venture is a joint arrangement whereby the Group has rights to only the net assets of the arrangement. - 40 - CHINA MERCHANTS PORT GROUP CO., LTD.

Long-term equity investments - continued 16.3 Subsequent measurement and recognition of profit or loss - continued 16.3.2 Long-term equity investments accounted for using the equity method - continued Under the equity method, where the initial investment cost of a long-term equity investment exceeds the Group's share of the fair value of the investee's identifiable net assets at the time of acquisition, no adjustment is made to the initial investment cost. Where the initial investment cost is less than the Group's share of the fair value of the investee's identifiable net assets at the time of acquisition, the difference is recognized in profit or loss for the period, and the cost of the long-term equity investment is adjusted accordingly. Under the equity method, the Group recognizes its share of the net profit or loss and other comprehensive income of the investee for the period as investment income and other comprehensive income respectively for the period. Meanwhile, the carrying amount of the long- term equity investment is adjusted. The carrying amount of the long-term equity investment shall be reduced by the attributable portion of profit distributions or cash dividends declared by the investee. Other changes in owners' equity of the investee other than net profit or loss and other comprehensive income are correspondingly adjusted to the carrying amount of the long-term equity investment, and recognized in capital reserve. The Group recognizes its share of the investee's net profit or loss based on the fair value of the investee's individual identifiable assets, etc. at the acquisition date after making appropriate adjustments. When the investee's accounting policies and accounting period are inconsistent with those of the Group, the Group recognizes investment income and other comprehensive income after making appropriate adjustments to the financial statements of the investee to conform to the Group's accounting policies and accounting period. However, unrealized gains or losses resulting from the Group's transactions with its associates and joint ventures, which do not constitute a business, are eliminated based on the proportion attributable to the Group and then investment gains or losses are recognized on such basis. However, unrealized losses resulting from the Group's transactions with its associates and joint ventures which represent impairment losses on the transferred assets are not eliminated. The Group recognize its share of net losses of the investee to the extent that the carrying amount of the long-term equity investment together with any long-term interests that in substance form part of its net investment in the investee are reduced to zero. Except that if the Group has incurred obligations to assume additional losses, a provision is recognized according to the obligation expected, and recorded in the investment loss for the period. Where net profits are subsequently made by the investee, the Group resumes recognizing its share of those profits only after its share of the profits exceeds the share of losses previously not recognized. - 41 - CHINA MERCHANTS PORT GROUP CO., LTD.

Long-term equity investments - continued 16.4 Disposal of long-term equity investments On disposal of a long-term equity investment, the difference between the carrying amount and proceeds actually received is recognized in profit or loss for the period. For long-term equity investments accounted for using the equity method, if the remaining interest after disposal is still accounted for using the equity method, other comprehensive income previously recognized under the equity method is accounted for on the same basis as if the investee had directly disposed of related assets or liabilities, and is transferred to profit or loss for the period on a pro rata basis; owners' equity recognized due to changes in other owners' equity of the investee (other than net profit or loss, other comprehensive income and profit distribution) is transferred to profit or loss for the period on a pro rata basis. For long-term equity investments accounted for using the cost method, if the remaining interest after disposal is still accounted for using the cost method, other comprehensive income previously recognized under the equity method or in accordance with the standards for the recognition and measurement of financial instruments before obtaining the control over the investee, is accounted for on the same basis as if the investee had directly disposed of related assets or liabilities, and is transferred to profit or loss for the period on a pro rata basis; changes in other owners' equity (other than net profit or loss, other comprehensive income and profit distribution) in the investee's net assets recognized under the equity method is transferred to profit or loss for the period on a pro rata basis. Where the Group loses control over the investee due to partial disposal of equity investments, if the remaining equity after disposal enables the Group to exercise joint control or significant influence over the investee, the remaining equity is accounted for using the equity method and adjusted as if they are accounted for using the equity method since the acquisition date in preparing separate financial statements; if the remaining equity after disposal does not enable the Group to exercise joint control or significant influence over the investee, it is accounted for according to relevant provisions of the standards on recognition and measurement of financial instruments, and the difference between the fair value and carrying amount at date of losing control is recognized in profit or loss for the period. Before the Group obtains control over the investee, other comprehensive income recognized under the equity method or the standards on recognition and measurement of financial instruments, is accounted for on the same basis as if the investee had directly disposed of related assets or liabilities when the control over the investee is lost; other changes in owners' equity (other than net profit or loss, other comprehensive income and profit distribution) in the investee's net assets recognized under the equity method is transferred to profit or loss for the period when the control over the investee is lost. Where the remaining equity after disposal is accounted for using the equity method, other comprehensive income and other owners' equity are transferred on a pro rata basis. Where the remaining equity after disposal is accounted for in accordance with the standards on recognition and measurement of financial instruments, other comprehensive income and other owners' equity are all transferred. - 42 - CHINA MERCHANTS PORT GROUP CO., LTD.

Long-term equity investments - continued 16.4 Disposal of long-term equity investments - continued Where the Group loses joint control or significant influence over the investee after partial disposal of equity investments, the remaining equity after disposal is accounted for in accordance with the standards on recognition and measurement of financial instruments, and the difference between fair value at the date of losing joint control or significant influence and carrying amount is recognized in profit or loss for the period. Other comprehensive income previously recognized under the equity method, is accounted for on the same basis as if the investee had directly disposed of related assets or liabilities when the equity method is not adopted. Owners' equity recognized due to other changes in owners' equity other than net profit or loss, other comprehensive income and profit distribution are transferred to investment income for the period when the equity method is not adopted. Where the Group disposes of its equity investments in subsidiaries in stages through multiple transactions until it loses control over the subsidiaries, if these transactions are a "package deal", they are accounted for as a single transaction of disposal of equity investments in subsidiaries. The difference between each disposal consideration and the corresponding carrying amount of the long- term equity investments disposed before the control is lost is first recognized as other comprehensive income, and then fully transferred to profit or loss for the period when the control is lost. 17. Investment properties Investment property is property held by the Group to earn rentals or for capital appreciation or both. It includes a land use right that is leased out and a building that is leased out. An investment property is measured initially at cost. Subsequent expenditures incurred for such investment property are included in the cost of the investment property if it is probable that economic benefits associated with an investment property will flow to the Group and the subsequent expenditures can be measured reliably. Other subsequent expenditures are recognized in profit or loss for the period in which they are incurred. The Group uses the cost model for subsequent measurement of investment property, and adopts a depreciation or amortization policy for the investment property which is consistent with that for buildings or land use rights. An investment property is derecognized upon disposal or when it is permanently withdrawn from use and no future economic benefits are expected from the disposal. When an investment property is sold, transferred, retired or damaged, the Group recognizes the amount of any proceeds on disposal net of the carrying amount and related taxes in profit or loss for the period. - 43 - CHINA MERCHANTS PORT GROUP CO., LTD. NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE PERIOD FROM 1 JANUARY TO 30 JUNE 2023 (Unless otherwise specified, the monetary unit shall be RMB.)

Fixed assets and depreciation Fixed assets are tangible assets that are held for use in the production or supply of goods or services, for rental to others, or for administrative purposes, and have useful lives of more than one accounting year. A fixed asset is recognized only when it is probable that economic benefits associated with the asset will flow to the Group and the cost of the asset can be measured reliably. Fixed assets are initially measured at cost. When the Group is restructured into a stock company, the fixed assets initially contributed by the state-owned shareholders are recognized based on the valuation amounts confirmed by the state-owned assets administration department. Subsequent expenditures incurred for the fixed asset are included in the cost of the fixed asset if it is probable that economic benefits associated with the asset will flow to the Group and the subsequent expenditures can be measured reliably. Meanwhile the carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognized. Other subsequent expenditures are recognized in profit or loss for the period in which they are incurred. A fixed asset is depreciated over its useful life using the straight-line method since the month subsequent to the one in which it is ready for intended use. The useful life, estimated net residual value rate and annual depreciation rate of each category of fixed assets are as follows: Estimated Annual Category Useful life residual value rate (%) depreciation rate (%) Port and terminal facilities 5-50 years 5.00 1.90-19.00 Buildings 5-50 years 5.00 1.90-19.00 Machinery and equipment, furniture 3-20 years 5.00 4.75-31.67 and fixture and other equipment Motor vehicles and cargo ships 5-25 years 5.00 3.80-19.00 Estimated net residual value of a fixed asset is the estimated amount that the Group would currently obtain from disposal of the asset, after deducting the estimated costs of disposal, if the asset were already of the age and in the condition expected at the end of its useful life. If a fixed asset is upon disposal or no future economic benefits are expected to be generated from its use or disposal, the fixed asset is derecognized. When a fixed asset is sold, transferred, retired or damaged, the amount of any proceeds on disposal of the asset net of the carrying amount and related taxes is recognized in profit or loss for the period. The Group reviews the useful life and estimated net residual value of a fixed asset and the depreciation method applied at least once at each financial year-end, and accounts for any change as a change in an accounting estimate. 19. Construction in progress Construction in progress is measured at its actual costs. The actual costs include various construction expenditures during the construction period, borrowing costs capitalized before it is ready for intended use and other relevant costs. Construction in progress is not depreciated. Construction in progress is transferred to a fixed asset when it is ready for intended use. - 44 - CHINA MERCHANTS PORT GROUP CO., LTD.

(IV) SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES - continued 20. Borrowing costs Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of qualifying asset are capitalized when expenditures for such asset and borrowing costs are incurred and activities relating to the acquisition, construction or production of the asset that are necessary to prepare the asset for its intended use or sale have commenced. Capitalization of borrowing costs ceases when the qualifying asset being acquired, constructed or produced becomes ready for its intended use or sale. Capitalization of borrowing costs is suspended during periods in which the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset is interrupted abnormally and when the interruption is for a continuous period of more than 3 months. Capitalization is suspended until the acquisition, construction or production of the asset is resumed. Other borrowing costs are recognized as an expense in the period in which they are incurred. Where funds are borrowed under a specific-purpose borrowing, the amount of interest to be capitalized is the actual interest expense incurred on that borrowing for the period less any bank interest earned from depositing the borrowed funds before being used on the asset or any investment income on the temporary investment of those funds. Where funds are borrowed under general- purpose borrowings, the Group determines the amount of interest to be capitalized on such borrowings by applying a capitalization rate to the weighted average of the excess of cumulative expenditures on the asset over the amounts of specific-purpose borrowings. The capitalization rate is the weighted average of the interest rates applicable to the general-purpose borrowings. During the capitalization period, exchange differences related to a specific-purpose borrowing denominated in foreign currency are all capitalized. Exchange differences in connection with general-purpose borrowings are recognized in profit or loss for the period in which they are incurred. 21. Intangible assets 21.1 Intangible assets Intangible assets include land use rights, terminal operating rights and others. An intangible asset is measured initially at cost. When the Group was restructured into a stock company, the intangible assets initially contributed by the state-owned shareholders are recognized based on the valuation amounts confirmed by the state-owned assets administration department. Except for port operation rights, when an intangible asset with a finite useful life is available for use, its original cost is amortized over its estimated useful life. The terminal operating rights under output method are amortized over the operating periods according to the ratio of the estimated minimum guaranteed throughput to the estimated minimum guaranteed total throughput. When the estimated minimum guaranteed throughput cannot be measured reliably, the straight-line method will be used for amortization over the operating periods. An intangible asset with indefinite useful life is not amortized. - 45 - CHINA MERCHANTS PORT GROUP CO., LTD.

Expenditure during the development phase that meets all of the following conditions at the same time is recognized as an intangible asset. Expenditure during development phase that does not meet the following conditions is recognized in profit or loss for the period. (1) it is technically feasible to complete the intangible asset so that it will be available for use or sale. (2) the Group has the intention to complete the intangible asset and use or sell it. (3) the Group can demonstrate the ways in which the intangible asset will generate economic benefits, including the evidence of the existence of a market for the output of the intangible asset or the intangible asset itself or, if it is to be used internally, the usefulness of the intangible asset. (4) the availability of adequate technical, financial and other resources to complete the development and the ability to use or sell the intangible asset. (5) the expenditure attributable to the intangible asset during its development phase can be reliably measured. If the expenditures cannot be distinguished between the research phase and development phase, the Group recognizes all of them in profit or loss for the period. The costs of intangible assets generated by the internal research only include the total expenditure incurred for the period from the time point when the capitalization criteria are satisfied to date when intangible assets are ready for intended use. For the identical intangible asset, the expenditures expensed and included in profit or loss before they qualify for capitalization during the development process are not adjusted. - 46 - CHINA MERCHANTS PORT GROUP CO., LTD.

Impairment of non-financial assets other than goodwill The Group assesses at the balance sheet date whether there is any indication that the long-term equity investments, investment properties measured using the cost method, fixed assets, construction in progress, right-of-use assets, intangible assets with a finite useful life and assets related to contract costs may be impaired. If there is any indication that such assets may be impaired, recoverable amounts are estimated for such assets. Intangible assets with indefinite useful life and intangible assets not yet available for use are tested for impairment annually, irrespective of whether there is any indication that the assets may be impaired. Recoverable amount is estimated on an individual basis. If it is not practical to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the recoverable amount of the asset group to which the asset belongs will be estimated. The recoverable amount of an asset is the higher of its fair value less costs of disposal and the present value of the future cash flows expected to be derived from the asset. If the recoverable amount of an asset or an asset group is less than its carrying amount, the deficit is accounted for as an impairment loss and is recognized in profit or loss. Once the impairment loss of above-mentioned asset is recognized, it shall not be reversed in any subsequent period. 23. Long-term prepaid expenses Long-term prepaid expenses represent expenses incurred that should be borne and amortized over the current and subsequent periods (together of more than one year). Long-term prepaid expenses are amortized using the straight-line method over the expected periods in which benefits are derived. 24. Contract liabilities A contract liability represents the Group's obligation to transfer goods or services to a customer for consideration received or receivable from the customer. The contract assets and contract liabilities under the same contract are presented on a net basis. 25. Employee benefits Employee benefits are all forms of considerations given by the Group in exchange for services rendered by employees or for the termination of employment. Employee benefits include short-term benefits, post-employment benefits, termination benefits and other long-term employee benefits. - 47 - CHINA MERCHANTS PORT GROUP CO., LTD.

Employee benefits - continued 25.1 Short-term employee benefits Short-term benefits refer to the employee benefits that the Group is required to make full payments within the 12 months after the end of the annual reporting period in which the employees have rendered relevant services, except the post-employment benefits and termination benefits. Specifically, the short-term benefits include: employee salaries, bonuses, allowances and subsidies, employee benefits, social insurance contributions such as the medical insurance, the work injury insurance and the maternity insurance, housing funds, union running costs and employee education costs, short-term paid absence, short-term profit sharing plan, non-monetary welfare and other short-term benefits. Short-term employee benefits payable are recognized as liabilities, with a corresponding charge to the profit or loss for the period or included in the costs of related assets in the accounting period in which employees provide services to the Group. Staff welfare expenses incurred by the Group are recognized in profit or loss for the period or the costs of related assets based on the actually occurred amounts when it actually occurred. Non-monetary staff welfare expenses are measured at fair value. For the Group's payments of social security contributions for employees such as premiums or contributions on medical insurance, work injury insurance and maternity insurance, and payments of housing funds, as well as union running costs and employee education costs provided in accordance with relevant requirements, the amount of employee benefits are calculated according to prescribed bases and percentages and recognized as liabilities, with a corresponding charge to the profit or loss for the period or included in the costs of related assets in the accounting period in which employees have rendered services. 25.2 Post-employment benefits Post-employment benefits refer to the rewards and benefits of various forms provided by the Group after the employees have retired or terminated the labor relationship with the enterprises for the services rendered by the employees, exclusive of the short-term benefits and the termination benefits. The post-employment benefits consist of the pension insurance, the annuity, the unemployment insurance and other post-employment benefits. Post-employment benefit plans are classified by the Group into defined contribution plans and defined benefit plans. The post-employment benefit plan refers to agreements the Group entered into with the employees on the post-employment benefits or regulations or measures established by the Group for provisions of the post-employee benefits, among which the defined contribution plan refers to the post-employment benefit plan under which the Group shall no longer undertake any obligations of payments after paying fixed expenses to independent funds; the defined benefit plans refer to the post-employment benefit plans other than the defined contribution plans. During the accounting period in which the employees have rendered services to the Group, the amounts payable calculated based on the defined contribution plan are recognized as liabilities and included in profit or loss for the period or included in costs of related assets. - 48 - CHINA MERCHANTS PORT GROUP CO., LTD.

Employee benefits - continued 25.2 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 or net assets of defined benefit plans are recognized in profit or loss for the period or included in costs of related assets. Changes arising from remeasurement of the net defined benefit liability or asset (including actuarial gains and losses, the return on plan assets, excluding amounts included in net interest on the net defined benefit liability or asset, and any change in the effect of the asset ceiling, excluding amounts included in net interest on the net defined benefit liability or asset) are recognized in other comprehensive income. The deficit or surplus resulting from the present value of the defined benefit plan obligation less the fair value of the defined benefit plan assets is recognized as a net defined benefit plan liability or asset. 25.3 Termination benefits Termination benefits refer to the compensations the Group pay to the employees for terminating the employment relationship with employees before the expiry of the employment contracts or encouraging employees to accept voluntary redundancy. Where the Group provides termination benefits to employees, the liabilities arising from termination benefits are recognized and included in profit or loss for the period at the earlier of: (1) when the Group cannot unilaterally withdraw the offer of termination benefits because of the termination plan or a curtailment proposal; and (2) when the Group recognizes costs or expenses related to restructuring that involves the payment of termination benefits. 25.4 Other long-term employee benefits Other long-term employee benefits refer to all employee benefits except for short-term benefits, post-employment benefits, and termination benefits. - 49 - CHINA MERCHANTS PORT GROUP CO., LTD.

At the end of the reporting period, employee benefit costs arising from other long-term employee benefits are recognized as three components: service cost, net interest on the net liability or net asset for other long-term employee benefits, and changes resulting from the remeasurement of the net liability or net asset for other long-term employee benefits. The total net amount of these items is included in profit or loss for the period or cost of related assets. The Group provides internal retirement benefits to employees accepting internal retirement arrangements. Internal retirement benefits refer to payments of salaries and social security contributions for employees who have not reached the retirement age regulated by the country and are approved to quit the job voluntarily. For internal retirement benefits, the internal retirement benefits the Group is expected to pay during the period from the date when employees stop rendering services to the date of normal retirement are recognized as liabilities at the present value and included in profit or loss for the period when relevant recognition requirements of the internal retirement benefits are met. 26. Provisions Provisions are recognized when the Group has a present obligation related with contingencies, and it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation, and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. The amount recognized as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present obligation at balance sheet date, taking into account factors pertaining to a contingency such as the risks, uncertainties and time value of money. Where the effect of the time value of money is material, the amount of the provision is determined by discounting the related future cash outflows. Where all or some of the expenditure required to settle a provision is expected to be reimbursed by a third party, the reimbursement is recognized as a separate asset only when it is virtually certain that reimbursement will be received, and the amount of reimbursement recognized does not exceed the carrying amount of the provision. 27. Revenue recognition The Group's revenue is mainly from the following business types: (1) Port services; (2) Bonded logistics services; (3) Other services such as property development and investment. - 50 - CHINA MERCHANTS PORT GROUP CO., LTD. NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE PERIOD FROM 1 JANUARY TO 30 JUNE 2023 (Unless otherwise specified, the monetary unit shall be RMB.) (IV) SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES - continued 27. Revenue recognition - continued The Group recognizes revenue based on the transaction price allocated to such performance obligation when a performance obligation is satisfied, i.e. when "control" of the goods or services underlying the particular performance obligation is transferred to the customer. A performance obligation represents the commitment that a good and service that is distinct shall be transferred by the Group to the customer. Transaction price refers to the consideration that the Group is expected to charge due to the transfer of goods or services to the customer, but it does not include payments received on behalf of third parties and amounts that the Group expects to return to the customer. It is a performance obligation satisfied during a period of time and the Group recognizes revenue during a period of time according to the progress of performance if one of the following conditions is met: (i) the customer obtains and consumes economic benefits at the same time of the Group's performance; (ii) the customer is able to control goods in progress during the Group's performance; (iii) goods or services generated during the Group's performance have irreplaceable utilization, and the Group is entitled to collect amounts of cumulative performance part which have been done up to now. Otherwise, the Group will recognize revenue at the point in time when the customer obtains control over relative goods or services. The Group adopts the output method, i.e. the value of goods or services transferred to customers to determine the appropriate progress of performance. Where the progress cannot be determined reasonably, the revenue is recognized based on the amount of cost that is expected to be compensated based on the cost already incurred, until the progress of performance is reasonably determined. Contract assets refers to the Group's right to consideration in exchange for goods or services that the Group has transferred to a customer when that right is conditioned on something other than the passage of time. Accounting policies relating to the impairment of contract asset are specified in Note (IV) 10. The Company's unconditional (i.e., depending on the passage of time only) right to receive consideration from the customer is separately presented as receivables. Contract liabilities refers to the Company's obligation to transfer goods or services to a customer for which the Company has already received consideration from the customer. Contract assets and contract liabilities under the same contract are presented at net amount. If there are two or more of performance obligations included in the contract, at the inception of the contract, the Group allocates the transaction price to each single performance obligation based on the proportion of stand-alone selling price of goods or services promised in each stand-alone performance obligation. However, if there is conclusive evidence indicating that the contract discount or variable consideration is only relative with one or more (not the whole) performance obligations in the contract, the Group will allocate the contract discount or variable consideration to relative one or more performance obligations. Stand-alone selling price refers to the price of a single sale of goods or services. If the stand-alone selling price cannot be observed directly, the Group estimates the stand-alone selling price through comprehensive consideration of all relative information that can be reasonably acquired and maximum use of observable inputs. - 51 - CHINA MERCHANTS PORT GROUP CO., LTD. NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE PERIOD FROM 1 JANUARY TO 30 JUNE 2023 (Unless otherwise specified, the monetary unit shall be RMB.) (IV) SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES - continued 27. Revenue recognition - continued In case of the existence of variable consideration (such as sales discount) in the contract, the Group shall determine the best estimate of variable consideration based on the expected value or the most likely amount. The transaction price including variable consideration shall not exceed the amount of the cumulatively recognized revenue which is unlikely to be significantly reversed when relevant uncertainty is eliminated. At each balance sheet date, the Group re-estimates the amount of variable consideration which should be included in transaction price. Where the customer pays non-cash consideration, the Group recognizes the transaction price based on the fair value of the non-cash consideration. Where the fair value of the non-cash consideration cannot be reasonably estimated, the Group recognizes the transaction price indirectly by reference to the stand-alone price of the promised goods or services promised transferred to the customer. Where the contract includes significant financing component, the Group determines the transaction price based on assumption that the customer has paid the amount payable by cash when obtaining the control over the goods or services. The difference between the transaction price and the contract consideration is amortized within the contract period using effective interest method. At the inception of the contract, if the Group expects that the time interval between the customer's obtaining control of a promised goods or service and the customer's payment for that goods or service will not exceed one year, the Group will not consider the significant financing component in the contract. The Group assesses whether it controls each specified good or service before that good or service is transferred to the customer to determine whether the Group is a principal or an agent. If the Group controls the specified good or service before that good or service is transferred to a customer, the Group is a principal and recognizes revenue in the gross amount of consideration received or receivable. Otherwise, the Group is an agent and recognizes revenue in the amount of any fee or commission to which it expects to be entitled. The fee or commission is the net amount of consideration that the Group retains after paying the other party the consideration received in exchange for the goods or services to be provided by that party, or is determined in accordance with the established commission amount or percentage, etc. Where the Group receives receipts in advance from a customer for sales of goods or rendering of services, the amount is first recognized as a liability and then transferred to revenue when the related performance obligation has been satisfied. When the Group's receipts in advance are not required to be refunded and it is probable that the customer will waive all or part of its contractual rights, the Group recognizes the said amounts as revenue on a pro-rata basis in accordance with the pattern of exercise of the customer's contractual rights, if the Group expects to be entitled to the amounts relating to the contractual rights waived by the customer; otherwise, the Group reverses the related balance of the said liabilities to revenue only when it is highly unlikely that the customer will require performance of the remaining performance obligations. - 52 - CHINA MERCHANTS PORT GROUP CO., LTD.

(IV) SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES - continued 28. Contract costs 28.1 Costs of obtaining a contract For the incremental cost of obtaining the contract (cost that will not incur if the contract is not obtained) that is expected to be recoverable, it is recognized as an asset, and shall be amortized on a basis that is consistent with the revenue recognition of the goods or services to which the asset relates and recognized in profit or loss for the period. If the amortization period of such asset is less than one year, it is recognized in profit or loss for the period when incurred. Other expenses incurred for obtaining the contract is included in profit or loss for the period when incurred, except for those explicitly assumed by the customer. 28.2 Costs to fulfil a contract If the costs incurred in fulfilling a contract are not within the scope of other standards other than the revenue standards, the Group shall recognize an asset from the costs incurred to fulfil a contract only if those costs meet all of the following criteria: (1) the costs relate directly to a contract or to an anticipated contract that the Group can specifically identify; (2) the costs generate or enhance resources of the entity that will be used in satisfying performance obligations in the future; and (3) the costs are expected to be recovered. The asset mentioned above shall be amortized on a basis that is consistent with the transfer to the customer of the goods or services to which the asset relates and recognized in profit or loss for the period. 28.3 Losses of assets related to contract costs In determining the impairment losses of assets related to contract costs, the Group first determines impairment losses of other assets related to contracts recognized in accordance with other ASBEs; then, for assets related to contract costs, if the carrying amount of the assets is higher than the difference between: (1) the remaining consideration that the Group expects to obtain for the transfer of the goods or services related to the assets; and (2) the estimated costs to be incurred for the transfer of the related goods or services, any excess is provided for impairment and recognized as impairment loss of assets. After the provision for impairment of assets related to contract costs is made, if factors of impairment in previous periods change so that the difference between the above two is higher than the carrying amount of the assets, the original provision for impairment of the assets is reversed and recognized in profit or loss for the period, provided that the carrying amount of the assets after the reversal does not exceed the carrying amount of the assets at the date of reversal assuming no provision for impairment is made. 29. Government grants Government grants are transfers of monetary assets or non-monetary assets from the government to the Group at no consideration. A government grant is recognized only when the Group can comply with conditions attached to the grant and the Group will receive the grant. - 53 - CHINA MERCHANTS PORT GROUP CO., LTD. NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE PERIOD FROM 1 JANUARY TO 30 JUNE 2023 (Unless otherwise specified, the monetary unit shall be RMB.) (IV) SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES - continued 29. Government grants - continued If a government grant takes the form of a monetary asset, it is measured at the amount received or receivable. If a government grant takes the form of a non-monetary asset, it is measured at fair value. If the fair value cannot be reliably determined, it is measured at a nominal amount. A government grant measured at a nominal amount is recognized immediately in profit or loss for the period. A government grant related to an asset is recognized as deferred income, and evenly amortized to profit or loss over the useful life of the related asset. A government grant measured at a nominal amount is recognized immediately in profit or loss for the period. Where the related asset is sold, transferred, scrapped or damaged prior to the end of its useful life, the related undistributed deferred income is transferred to the profit or loss for the disposal period. For a government grant related to income, if the grant is a compensation for related expenses or losses to be incurred in subsequent periods, the grant is recognized as deferred income and recognized in profit or loss over the periods in which the related costs or losses are recognized; if the grant is a compensation for related expenses or losses already incurred, the grant is recognized immediately in profit or loss. For government grants both related to assets and income, different parts are distinguished for different accounting treatments; if it is difficult to distinguish, they should be classified as government grants related to income as a whole. A government grant related to the Group's daily activities is recognized in other income based on the nature of economic activities; a government grant not related to the Group's daily activities is recognized in non-operating income. 30. Income tax The income tax expenses include current income tax and deferred income tax. 30.1 Current income tax At the balance sheet date, current income tax liabilities (or assets) for the current and prior periods are measured at the amount expected to be paid (or recovered) according to the requirements of tax laws. 30.2 Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities For temporary differences between the carrying amounts of certain assets or liabilities and their tax base, or between the carrying amount of those items that are not recognized as assets or liabilities and their tax base that can be determined according to tax laws, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized using the balance sheet liability method. - 54 - CHINA MERCHANTS PORT GROUP CO., LTD.

(IV) SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES - continued 30. Deferred tax assets/ deferred tax liabilities - continued 30.2 Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities - continued Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognized for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax assets for deductible temporary differences are recognized to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which the deductible temporary differences can be utilized. However, for temporary differences associated with the initial recognition of goodwill and the initial recognition of an asset or liability arising from a transaction, which is not a business combination that affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profits (or deductible losses) at the time of transaction, no deferred tax asset or liability is recognized. For deductible losses and tax credits that can be carried forward, deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the deductible losses and tax credits can be utilized. Deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures, except where the Group is able to control the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future. Deferred tax assets arising from deductible temporary differences associated with such investments in subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures are only recognized to the extent that future taxable profits will be available against which the deductible temporary differences can be utilized and they are expected to be reversed in the foreseeable future. At the balance sheet date, deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates applicable in the period in which the related assets are recovered or the related liabilities are settled according to tax laws. Current and deferred tax expenses or income are recognized in profit or loss for the period, except when they arise from transactions or events that are directly recognized in other comprehensive income or in shareholders' equity, in which case they are recognized in other comprehensive income or in shareholders' equity, and when they arise from business combinations, in which case they adjust the carrying amount of goodwill. At the balance sheet date, the carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed and reduced if it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available in the future to allow the benefit of deferred tax assets to be utilized. Any such reduction in amount is reversed when it becomes probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available. 30.3 Income tax offsetting When the Group has a legal right to settle on a net basis and intends either to settle on a net basis or to realize the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously, current tax assets and current tax liabilities are offset and presented on a net basis. - 55 - CHINA MERCHANTS PORT GROUP CO., LTD.

Leases A lease is a contract whereby the lessor conveys to the lessee in return for a consideration the right to use an asset for an agreed period of time. For contracts entered into, the Group assesses whether a contract is or contains a lease at inception date. Such contract will not be reassessed unless the terms and conditions of the contract are subsequently changed. 31.1 The Group as Lessee 31.1.1 Separating components of a lease If a contract contains a lease component and one or more non-lease components, the Group allocates the consideration in the contract to each lease component on the basis of the relative stand-alone price of the lease components and the aggregate stand-alone price of the non-lease components. 31.1.2 Right-of-use assets Except for short-term leases and leases for which the underlying asset is of low value, at the commencement date of the lease, the Group recognizes right-of-use assets. The commencement date of the lease is the date on which a lessor makes an underlying asset available for use by the Group. Right-of-use assets are initially measured at cost. The cost of the right-of-use assets comprises: the amount of the initial measurement of the lease liabilities. any lease payments made at or before the commencement date, less any lease incentives. any initial direct costs incurred by the Group. an estimate of costs to be incurred by the lessee in dismantling and removing the underlying asset, restoring the site on which it is located or restoring the underlying asset to the condition required by the terms and conditions of the lease. - 56 - CHINA MERCHANTS PORT GROUP CO., LTD.

Leases - continued 31.1 The Group as Lessee - continued 31.1.2 Right-of-use assets - continued The Group depreciates right-of-use assets by reference to the relevant depreciation provisions of Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises No. 4 - Fixed Assets. The right-of-use assets are depreciated over the remaining useful lives of the leased assets where the Group is reasonably certain to obtain ownership of the underlying assets at the end of the lease term. Otherwise, right- of-use assets are depreciated over the shorter of the lease term and the remaining useful lives of the leased assets. The Group applies Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises No. 8 - Impairment of Assets, to determine whether the right-of-use assets are impaired and to account for any impairment loss identified. 31.1.3 Lease liabilities Except for short-term leases and leases for which the underlying asset is of low value, at the commencement date of the lease, the Group measures the lease liabilities at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at that date. If the interest rate implicit in the lease cannot be readily determined, the lessee shall use the lessee's incremental borrowing rate. The lease payments comprise the following payments by the Group for the right to use the underlying asset during the lease term: fixed payments (including in-substance fixed payments), less any lease incentives. variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate. the exercise price of a purchase option if the Group is reasonably certain to exercise that option. payments for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects the Group exercising an option to terminate the lease. amounts expected to be payable by the Group under residual value guarantees. Variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, are initially measured using the index or rate as at the commencement date. Variable lease payments not included in the measurement of the lease liabilities, are recognized in profit or loss, or in the cost of relevant assets, in the period of those payments. After the commencement date, interest expenses on the lease liabilities in each period during the lease term is calculated by a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the lease liabilities, and included in profit or loss or charged to cost of related assets. - 57 - CHINA MERCHANTS PORT GROUP CO., LTD.

Leases - continued 31.1 The Group as Lessee - continued 31.1.3 Lease liabilities - continued After the commencement date, if one of the following occurs, the lease liabilities are remeasured by the Group with the adjustments to the related right-of-use assets. 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 difference should be recognized in profit or loss. there is a change in the lease term, or in the assessment of an option to purchase the underlying asset, the Group remeasures the lease liabilities, on the basis of the revised lease term and the revised discount rate. there is a change in the amounts expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee, or in future lease payments resulting from a change in an index or a rate used to determine those payments, the Group remeasures the lease liabilities, on the basis of the revised lease payments and the unchanged discount rate, unless the change in the lease payments results from a change in floating interest rates, in which case a revised discount is applied to the present value. 31.1.4 Short-term leases and leases of low-value assets The Group chooses not to recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for short-term leases of port and terminal facilities, buildings, machinery and equipment, furniture and fixture and other equipment, motor vehicles and cargo ships, other short-term leases and leases of low-value assets. A short-term lease is a lease that at the commencement date, has a lease term of 12 months or less and does not contain a call option. A lease of low-value assets is that, the value of the underlying asset is less than RMB 50,000 when it is new. The Group shall recognize the lease payments associated with short-term leases and leases of low-value assets in profit or loss or cost of related assets on a straight-line basis over the lease term. 31.1.5 Lease modifications A lease modification should be accounted for as a separate lease if both of the following apply: the modification increases the scope of the lease by adding the right to use one or more underlying assets. the consideration for the lease increases by an amount commensurate with the stand-alone price for the increase in scope and any appropriate adjustments to that stand-alone price according to the circumstances of the particular contract. For a lease medication that is not accounted for as a separate lease, at the effective date of the lease modification, the Group should allocate the consideration in the modified contract, determine the lease term of the modified lease and remeasure the lease liability by discounting the revised payments using a revised discount rate. - 58 - CHINA MERCHANTS PORT GROUP CO., LTD.

For remeasurement of lease liabilities from all other lease modifications, a corresponding adjustment is made to the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset. 31.2 The Group as Lessor 31.2.1 Separating components of a lease Where a contract contains both lease components and non-lease components, the Group shall apportion the contract consideration in accordance with the provisions of the revenue standards on the apportionment of the transaction price, based on the respective individual prices of the lease components and the non-lease components. 31.2.2 Classification of leases Leases are classified as finance leases whenever the terms of the lease transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership. All other leases are classified as operating leases. 31.2.2.1 The Group as lessor under operating leases The Group recognizes lease receipts from operating leases as rental income the straight-line method over the respective periods of the lease term. The Group capitalizes initial direct costs incurred in connection with operating leases and apportions those costs profit or loss for the period as an expense over the lease term on the same basis as the recognition of lease income. Variable lease receipts acquired by the Group in connection with operating leases that are not included in the lease receipts are recognized in profit or loss when incurred. 31.2.2.2 The Group as lessor under finance leases At the commencement date, the Group recognizes a finance lease receivable at the amount equal to the net lease investment with assets under finance leases derecognized. The net lease investment is the sum of any unguaranteed residual value and the present value of the lease receipts over the lease term discounted at the interest rate implicit in lease. - 59 - CHINA MERCHANTS PORT GROUP CO., LTD.

Variable payments receivable not included in the net investment in the lease are recognized in profit or loss when they arise. Interest income for each period over the lease term is calculated and recognized by the Group at a fixed periodic rate. 31.2.3 Subleases As a lessor of the sublease, the Group accounts for the original lease contract and the sublease contract as two separate contracts. The Group classifies the subleases based on the right-of-use assets generating from the original lease rather than the underlying assets of the original lease. 31.2.4 Lease modifications The Group accounts for a modification to an operating lease as a new lease from the effective date of the modification, considering any lease advances or receivables relating to the original lease as the lease receipts for the new lease. The Group should account for the modification to a finance lease as a separate lease if both of the followings are satisfied: The modification increases the scope of the lease by adding the right to use one or more underlying assets; and The consideration for the lease increases by an amount commensurate with the stand-alone price for the increase in scope with any appropriate adjustment to that stand-alone price. - 60 - CHINA MERCHANTS PORT GROUP CO., LTD.

Leases - continued 31.2 The Group as Lessor - continued 31.2.4 Lease modifications - continued For a modification to a finance lease that is not accounted for as a separate lease, the Group should account for the modification as follows: If the lease would have been classified as an operating lease had the modification been effect at the inception date, the Group should account for the lease modification as a new lease from the effective date of the modification, and measure the carrying amount of the underlying asset as the net investment in the lease before the effective date of the lease modification. If the lease would have been classified as a finance lease had the modification been in effect at the inception date, the Group should apply the requirements of contract modification and renegotiation under the ASBE No. 22. 31.2.5 Sale and leaseback transactions 31.2.5.1 The Group as the seller-lessee The Group assesses and determines whether the transfer of an asset in a sale and leaseback transaction constitutes a sale according to the requirements of revenue standards. If the transfer of an asset does not constitute a sale, the Group should continue to recognize the transferred asset and should recognize a financial liability at an amount equal to the transfer proceeds applying the ASBE No. 22 . If the transfer of an asset is a sale, the Group should measure the right-of-use asset arising from the leaseback at the proportion of the original carrying amount of the asset that relates to the right of use, and recognize only any gain or loss that relates to the rights transferred to the lessor. 31.2.5.2 The Group as the buyer-lessor If the transfer of an asset in a sale and leaseback transaction does not constitutes a sale, the Group does not recognize the transferred asset, but a financial asset at an amount equal to the transfer proceeds, and accounts for such financial asset under the ASBE No. 22. If the transfer of an asset constitutes a sale, the Group accounts for the purchase of the asset in accordance with other applicable ASBEs and accounts for the lease of the asset. 32. Exchange of Non-Monetary Assets When a non-monetary assets transaction has commercial substance and the fair value of the assets received or surrendered can be measured reliably. For assets received, the fair value of the assets surrendered and relevant payable taxes shall be regarded as the transaction cost of the assets received at initial recognition. For assets surrendered, the difference between the fair value and the carrying value of the asset surrendered shall be recognized in profit or loss for the period. When there is clear evidence indicating that the fair value of the assets received is more reliable, the cost of assets received and surrendered shall be calculated in different ways. For the assets received, the fair value of the asset received and related taxes payable are recognized as the cost at initial recognition. For the assets surrendered, at derecognition, the difference between the fair value of the assets received and the carrying amount of the assets surrendered shall be recognized in profit or loss for the period. - 61 - CHINA MERCHANTS PORT GROUP CO., LTD.

For the assets received, the carrying amount of the assets surrendered and relevant taxes payable are recognized as the cost at initial recognition. For the assets surrendered, at derecognition, no profit or loss is recognized. 33. Discontinued Operation A discontinued operation is a component of the Group that can be clearly distinguished, either has been disposed of or is classified as held for sale, and meets one of the following conditions: (1) Such component represents a separate major line of business or geographic area of operations. (2) Such component is part of a single coordinated plan to dispose of a separate major line of business or geographic area of operations. (3) Such component is a subsidiary acquired exclusively with a view to resale. Gains or losses from discontinued operations are presented separately from those from continuing operations in the income statement. Operating gains or losses such as impairment losses from discontinued operations and the amount of reversals, and the gains or losses from disposals are presented as discontinued operations. For discontinued operations presented in the current period, the Group restates the information previously presented as gains or losses from continuing operations in the financial statements for the period as discontinued operations in the comparable accounting period. 34. Safety production cost According to the Administrative Measures for the Collection and Utilization of Enterprise Work Safety Funds (Cai Zi [2022] No. 136) jointly issued by the Ministry of Finance and the Emergency Department on 13 December 2022, safety production cost set aside by the Group is directly included in the cost of relevant products or recognized in profit or loss for the period, and transferred to the special reserve simultaneously. When safety production cost set aside is utilized, if the costs incurred can be categorized as expenditure, the costs incurred should be charged against the special reserve. If the costs set aside are used to build up fixed assets, the costs should be charged to construction in progress, and reclassified to fixed assets when the safety projects are ready for intended use. Meantime, expenditures in building up fixed assets are directly charged against the special reserve with the accumulated depreciation recognized at the same amount. Depreciation will not be made in the future period on such fixed assets. 35. Share-based payments A share-based payment is a transaction which the Group grants equity instruments, in return for services rendered by employees or other parties. The Group's share-based payments include equity- settled share-based payments. - 62 - CHINA MERCHANTS PORT GROUP CO., LTD.

Such amount is recognized as related costs or expenses on a straight-line basis over the vesting period, based on the best estimate of the number of equity instruments expected to vest; as related costs or expenses at the grant date, if the equity instruments vest immediately, with a corresponding increase in capital reserves. (V) CRITICAL JUDGMENTS IN APPLYING ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND KEY ASSUMPTIONS AND UNCERTAINTIES IN ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES In the application of accounting policies and accounting estimates as set out in Note (IV), the Group is required to make judgments, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amounts of items in the financial statements that cannot be measured accurately, due to the internal uncertainty of the operating activities. These judgments, estimates and assumptions are based on historical experiences of the Group's management as well as other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates. The Group regularly reviews the judgments, estimates and assumptions on a going concern basis. Changes in accounting estimates which only affect the current period should be recognized in current period; changes which not only affect the current but the future periods should be recognized in current and future periods. At the balance sheet date, key assumptions and uncertainties in critical judgments and accounting estimates that are likely to lead to significant adjustments to the book values of assets and liabilities in the future are: Goodwill impairment For the purpose of impairment testing, the present value of the expected future cash flows of the assets group or portfolio including goodwill shall be calculated, and such expected future cash flows shall be estimated. Meantime, a pre-tax rate shall be determined that should reflect the time value of money on the current market and the specific interest risks. Recognition of deferred income tax The Group calculates and makes provision for deferred tax liabilities according to the profit distribution plan of subsidiaries, associates and the joint ventures subject to the related law. For retained earnings which are not allocated by the investment company, since the profits will be used to invest the company's daily operation and future development, no deferred tax liabilities are recognized. If the actually distributed profits in the future are more or less than those expected, corresponding deferred tax liabilities will be recognized or reversed at the earlier of the date on which the profit distribution plan is changed and the date on which the profit distribution is declared, in profit and loss for the period. - 63 - CHINA MERCHANTS PORT GROUP CO., LTD. NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE PERIOD FROM 1 JANUARY TO 30 JUNE 2023 (Unless otherwise specified, the monetary unit shall be RMB.) (V) CRITICAL JUDGMENTS IN APPLYING ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND KEY ASSUMPTIONS AND UNCERTAINTIES IN ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES - continued Recognition of deferred income tax - continued Deferred tax assets are recognized based on the deductible temporary difference and the corresponding tax rate, to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences can be utilized. If the actual taxable income in the future is more or less than that expected, corresponding deferred tax assets will be recognized or reversed in profit or loss for the period in which they are actually incurred. Estimated useful lives and residual values of fixed assets and intangible assets The Group assesses the estimated useful lives and residual values of its fixed assets and intangible assets. Such assessment is made by reference to the historical experience of actual useful lives and residual values of fixed assets and intangible assets of a similar nature and function, and may subject to significant changes due to technical innovation and fierce industry competition. Where the estimated useful lives and residual values of fixed assets and intangible assets are less than the previous estimates, the Group will increase the depreciation and amortization, or write off or eliminate the technically obsolete fixed assets or intangible assets. (VI) CHANGES IN SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES 1. Changes in significant accounting policies and their effects 1.1 Interpretation No. 16 of the Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises The Interpretation No. 16 of the Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises (the "Interpretation No. 16") was issued by the Ministry of Finance on 30 November 2022, which stipulated the accounting treatment concerning the exemption of initial recognition of deferred income tax relating to assets and liabilities arising from a single transaction. The Interpretation No. 16 revised the coverage of exemption of the initial recognition of deferred income tax in the Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises No. 18 - Income Tax, and specified that the relevant provisions on the exemption of initial recognition of deferred tax liabilities and deferred tax assets are not applicable to a single transaction (not a business combination) that affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable income (or deductible losses) at the time of transaction, and where the assets and liabilities initially recognized generate equal taxable temporary differences and deductible temporary differences. The Interpretation became effective from 1 January 2023 and could be early applied. The Group early applied the Interpretation in the current year, and accounted for the single transactions retrospectively that occurred between the beginning of the earliest presentation period of the financial statements and 31 December 2022, and restated the comparative financial statements. The impact on the relevant items is as follows: - 64 - CHINA MERCHANTS PORT GROUP CO., LTD.

Up to date, as Nanshan Group has not yet obtained the land use rights in respect of the lands within Chiwan watershed, including aforementioned capital investment and land lease to the Group, therefore the Group cannot obtain the ownership certificate for relevant land and buildings on such land. The Company's management understood that the Nanshan Group is negotiating with relevant government departments regarding the historical issues, and the date when the Group can obtain the ownership certificate of relevant land and buildings on such land cannot be estimated reliably. - 88 - CHINA MERCHANTS PORT GROUP CO., LTD.

If the recoverable amount is less than the carrying amount, the difference is included in profit or loss for the period. The Group determines the recoverable amount of the assets group and portfolio of assets group that generate goodwill at fair value less cost of disposal or at present value of expected future cash flows. The fair value is determined using market approach. The present value of cash flows is estimated based on the forecast of cash flows for 5 years to 26 years detailed forecast period and subsequent forecast period. The estimated future cash flows for the detailed forecast period are based on the business plan established by the management; the expected future cash flows for the subsequent forecast period are determined in conjunction with the level of the final year of the detailed forecast period, combined with the Group's business plans, industry trends and inflation rates. The growth rate adopted will not exceed the long-term average growth rate of the country where the assets group and portfolio of assets group are located. The key assumptions used by the Group in estimating the present value of future cash flows include growth rate and discount rate etc. The parameters of key assumptions determined by the Group's management are in line with the Group's historical experience or external source of information. 23.

These services are obligations satisfied over time. For wharf services, as the handling time for containers and bulk cargos is short, the management believes that it is an appropriate method to recognize the fulfillment of performance obligation and revenue upon the completion of the services. For bonded logistics services and other services, the customers evenly obtain and consume economic benefits from the Group's performance of contract, meanwhile charging rules as agreed in contract terms usually adopt daily/month/yearly basis. During the process of rendering services, the Group recognizes revenue using the straight-line method. Part of the Group's handling contracts are established with discount terms, i.e. the customers whose business volume reaches agreed level, are granted with preferential charge rates or discounts. At the end of the period, as the business quantity finally realized within the contract period is uncertain, the contract consideration is subject to variable factors. The management includes this part of discount in other payables and provisions, rather than including it in the transaction prices. At the end of the period, the variable considerations arising from sales discount are set out in Note (VIII) 33 (3) and Note (VIII) 42. - 113 - CHINA MERCHANTS PORT GROUP CO., LTD.

Currency risk Currency risk is the risk that losses will occur because of changes in foreign exchange rates. The Group's exposure to the currency risk is primarily associated with HKD, USD and EUR. Except for part of the purchases and sales, the Group's other principal activities are denominated and settled in RMB. As at 30 June 2023, the balance of the Group's assets and liabilities are both denominated in functional currency or the currency that has pegged exchange rate against the functional currency, except that the assets and liabilities set out below are recorded using the currency that is neither functional currency nor currency that has pegged exchange rate against the functional currency. Currency risk arising from the foreign currency balance of assets and liabilities may have impact on the Group's performance.

Sensitivity analysis on currency risk The assumption for the sensitivity analysis on currency risk is that all the cash flow hedges and hedges of a net investment in a foreign operation are highly effective. On the basis of the above assumption, where all other variables are held constant, the reasonably possible changes in the foreign exchange rate may have the following pre-tax effect on the profit or loss for the period and shareholders' equity: The current period The prior period Effect on Effect on Item Changes in exchange rate Effect on profits shareholders' Effect on profits shareholders' equity equity All foreign currencies 5% increase against RMB -276,673,157.63 -276,673,157.63 -142,170,160.72 -142,170,160.72 All foreign currencies 5% decrease against RMB 276,673,157.63 276,673,157.63 142,170,160.72 142,170,160.72 All foreign currencies 5% increase against USD 4,281,779.89 4,281,779.89 5,174,284.81 5,174,284.81 All foreign currencies 5% decrease against USD -4,281,779.89 -4,281,779.89 -5,174,284.81 -5,174,284.81 All foreign currencies 5% increase against HKD 2,568,826.80 2,568,826.80 -208,703,403.25 -208,703,403.25 All foreign currencies 5% decrease against HKD -2,568,826.80 -2,568,826.80 208,703,403.25 208,703,403.25 5% increase against EUR All foreign currencies 11,197,132.33 11,197,132.33 319,495.78 319,495.78 (including FCFA) 5% decrease against EUR All foreign currencies -11,197,132.33 -11,197,132.33 -319,495.78 -319,495.78 (including FCFA) - 131 - CHINA MERCHANTS PORT GROUP CO., LTD. NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE PERIOD FROM 1 JANUARY TO 30 JUNE 2023 (Unless otherwise specified, the monetary unit shall be RMB.) (XI) RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS - continued 2. Interest rate risk - changes in cash flows Risk of changes in cash flows of financial instruments arising from interest rate changes is mainly related to bank loans with floating interest rate. (See Note (VIII) 26 and Note (VIII) 37). The Group continuously and closely monitors the impact of interest rate changes on the Group's interest rate risk. The Group's policy is to maintain these borrowings at floating rates. Presently, the Group has no arrangement such as interest rate swaps etc. Sensitivity analysis of interest rate risk Sensitivity analysis of interest rate risk is based on the following assumptions: Fluctuations of market interest rate can affect the interest income or expense of a financial instrument with floating interest rate; For a financial instrument at fair value with fixed interest rate, the fluctuations of market interest rate can only affect its interest income or expense; For a derivative financial instrument designated as hedging instrument, the fluctuations of market interest rate affects its fair value, and all interest rate hedging are expected to be highly effective; The changes in fair value of derivative financial instruments and other financial assets and liabilities are calculated using cash flow discounting method by applying the market interest rate at balance sheet date. On the basis of above assumptions, where the other variables held constant, the pre-tax effect of possible and reasonable changes in interest rate on the profit or loss for the period and shareholders' equity are as follows: The current period The prior period Changes in Item Effect on Effect on interest rate Effect on profits Effect on profits shareholders' equity shareholders' equity Short-term borrowings and long-term 1% increase -218,624,405.40 -218,624,405.40 -206,916,565.57 -206,916,565.57 borrowings Short-term borrowings and long-term 1% decrease 218,624,405.40 218,624,405.40 206,916,565.57 206,916,565.57 borrowings 3. Liquidity risk In the management of the liquidity risk, the Group monitors and maintains a level of cash and cash equivalents deemed adequate by the management to finance the Group's operations and mitigate the effects of fluctuations in cash flows. The management monitors the utilization of bank borrowings and ensures compliance with loan covenants. As at 30 June 2023, the Group had total current liabilities in excess of total current assets of RMB 1,400,548,100.60. At 30 June 2023, the Group had available and unused line of credit and bonds amounting to RMB 67,024,496,484.81, which is greater than the balance of the net current liabilities, and may obtain fund support within the line of credit and bonds as necessary. Therefore, the Group's management believes that the Group has no significant liquidity risk. - 132 - CHINA MERCHANTS PORT GROUP CO., LTD.
