MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

1. INTERNATIONAL AND DOMESTIC SITUATION
2. 1. General Situation
      In the first half of 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic has made a huge impact on the global economy. The world economy is in deep recession with the international trade shrinking sharply, and the foreign trading environment was severe and complex. The Chinese government responded proactively to the changes in the external environment, and coordinated the epidemic prevention and control and the economic and social development. By virtue of a series of policies such as ensuring "six priorities" (ensuring stability in employment, financial operations, foreign trade, foreign investment, domestic investment, and expectations) and stability in six areas (ensuring security in job, basic people's livelihood, operations of market entities, food and energy, stable industrial and supply chains, and the normal functioning of primary-level governments), the operation and production of enterprises comprehensively recovered. The economy of China displayed a trend from declining to rising with steady recovery. In the first half of 2020, the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of China decreased by 1.6% (with a decrease of 6.8% in the first quarter and an increase of 3.2% in the second quarter) as compared with the same period in the prior year. The total imports and exports of cargo from January to June 2020 was better than expected, decreasing by 3.2% as compared with the same period in the prior year, and the declining rate was narrowed by 1.7 percentage points as compared with that of the first five months of 2020 (Source: National Bureau of Statistics of the PRC).
   2. Operation of the Port Industry
      Affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, in the first half of 2020, the cargo throughput of the coastal ports in China increased by 0.1% as compared to the same period in the prior year, among which, the container throughput decreased by 5.0% as compared to the same period in the prior year. In the first half of 2020, both the cargo throughput and container throughput of the Port of Qingdao still ranked fifth among the national coastal ports, and the foreign trade throughput continued to rank second among the coastal ports of China and first among northern ports of China (Source: Ministry of Transport of the PRC).

1. REVIEW OF BUSINESS AND FINANCIAL RESULTS OF THE GROUP
   1. Overall Review
   Since the beginning of this year, the Group has actively responded to the severe challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic, coordinated the epidemic prevention and control and the production and operation of the port, and made every effort to ensure the stability of the supply chain and industrial chain. In the marine direction, the Group teamed up with the shipping companies to vigorously stabilize the shipping schedule, open new shipping routes, and expand transit business. In the land direction, the Group strengthened the layout of inland ports and sea-rail intermodal transport, deepened the supply-side structural reform of port services, took full advantage of hardware facilities and value-added service resources, continuously optimized port functions, and promoted both quantity and profitability of the port stevedoring businesses, as a result of which the Group's comprehensive competitiveness and influence in the industry were enhanced continuously and the Group's operating results kept a steady growth.
   For the six months ended 30 June 2020, the cargo throughput of the Group together with its joint ventures and associates (without taking into account the respective shareholding percentages the Company holds in those joint ventures and associates) reached 263.03 million tons, representing an increase of 4.3% as compared to the same period in the prior year, among which, the container throughput amounted to 10.34 million TEUs, representing an increase of 0.4% as compared to the same period in the prior year.

Interim Report 2020 14

For the six months ended 30 June 2020, the revenue of metal ore, coal and other cargo handling and ancillary services was RMB1,494 million, representing an increase of RMB129 million, or 9.5%, as compared to the same period in the prior year, which was mainly due to revenue increase resulting from the whole process logistics transportation business; the segment result was RMB250 million, representing a decrease of RMB27 million, or 9.6%, as compared to the same period in the prior year, which was mainly due to a decrease of RMB25 million in the share of profit of joint ventures as compared to the same period in the prior year.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For the six months ended 30 June 2020 (Unaudited) (All amounts in RMB Yuan unless otherwise stated)

2 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES

Accounting policies and accounting estimates are determined based on the features of the Group's production and operation, which mainly include judgement criteria for the impairment of financial assets (Note 2(9)), depreciation of fixed assets (Note 2(13)), amortization of intangible assets (Note 2(16)), early retirement benefits and supplementary retirement benefit's recognition (Note 2(19)), revenue recognition (Note 2(22)) and so on.

The Group's critical judgements applied in determining significant accounting policies are as follows Note 2(30).

1. Preparation basis of financial statements
   The financial statements are prepared in accordance with the Accounting Standard for Business Enterprises - Basic Standard, and the specific accounting standards and other relevant regulations issued by the Ministry of Finance on 15 February 2006 and in subsequent periods (hereafter collectively referred to as the "Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises"); and are also prepared in accordance with the Public Information Disclosure and Compilation Rules for Public Offering of Securities No. 15 - General Provisions for Financial Reporting issued by China Securities Regulatory Commission.
   The financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis.
   The new Hong Kong Companies Ordinance came into effect on 3 March 2014. Certain disclosures in the financial statements have been adjusted in accordance with requirements in Hong Kong Companies Ordinance.
2. 1. Preparation basis of consolidated financial statements
      Prior to the establishment of the Company, Qingdao Port Group was reorganized under the plan approved by Qingdao SASAC and transferred certain business into the Company; therefore, the matter was deemed as business combination involving enterprises under common control. Pursuant to the Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises, at preparation of the consolidated financial statements of the Group, the assets and liabilities contributed by Qingdao Port Group at the Company's Date of Incorporation remain presented at their original carrying amounts rather than at the appraisal values approved by the competent state-owned assets management authorities in the reorganization. The difference between the appraisal values and the carrying amounts is charged against the shareholders' equity in the consolidated financial statements.
      On the other hand, certain subsidiaries of the Company appraised their assets and liabilities in the process of transformation from state-owned enterprises into limited liability companies. In the light of Interpretation No. 1 to the Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises, the assets and liabilities of such reorganized companies shall, on the incorporation dates, be consolidated into the consolidated financial statements of the Group based on the appraisal values approved by the competent state-owned assets management authorities.
   2. Preparation basis of the Company's financial statements
      At preparation of the Company's financial statement, the assets and liabilities of Qingdao Port Group that were contributed into the Company are recognized based on the appraisal values approved by the competent state-owned assets management authorities, stated on the Company's financial statements.

5. 1. Business combination involving enterprises under common control
      The consideration paid and net assets obtained by the absorbing party in a business combination are measured at the carrying amount. If the acquiree was acquired from the third party by the ultimate controlling party in previous years, it shall be based on the carrying amount of the assets and liabilities of the acquiree (including the goodwill formed by the acquisition of the acquiree by the ultimate controlling party) in the consolidated financial statements of the ultimate controlling party. The difference between the carrying amount of the net assets obtained from the combination and the carrying amount of the consideration paid for the combination is treated as an adjustment to capital surplus (capital premium). If the capital surplus (capital premium) is not sufficient to absorb the difference, the remaining balance is adjusted against retained earnings. Costs that directly attribute to the combination are included in profit or loss in the period in which they are incurred. Transaction costs associated with the issuance of equity or debt securities for the business combination are included in the initially recognized amounts of the equity or debt securities.
   2. Business combination involving enterprises not under common control
      The cost of combination and identifiable net assets obtained by the acquirer in a business combination are measured at fair value at the acquisition date. When the cost of the combination exceeds the acquirer's interest in the fair value of the acquiree's identifiable net assets, the difference is recognized as goodwill; when the cost of combination is lower than the acquirer's interest in the fair value of the acquiree's identifiable net assets, the difference is recognized in profit or loss for the current period. Costs directly attribute to the combination are included in profit or loss in the period in which they are incurred. Transaction costs associated with the issuance of equity or debt securities for the business combination are included in the initially recognized amounts of the equity or debt securities.

2 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES (Continued)

1. Preparation of consolidated financial statements
   The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of the Company and all of its subsidiaries.
   Subsidiaries are consolidated from the date on which the Group obtains control and are de-consolidated from the date that such control ceases. For a subsidiary that is acquired in a business combination involving enterprises under common control, it is included in the consolidated financial statements from the date when it, together with the Company, comes under common control of the ultimate controlling party. The portion of the net profits realized before the combination date is presented separately in the consolidated income statement.
   In preparation of the consolidated financial statements, when the accounting policies and the accounting periods of the Company and subsidiaries are inconsistent, the financial statements of the subsidiaries are adjusted in accordance with the accounting policies and the accounting period of the Company. For subsidiaries acquired from business combinations involving enterprises not under common control, the individual financial statements of the subsidiaries are adjusted based on the fair value of the identifiable net assets at the acquisition date.
   All significant intra-group balances, transactions and unrealized profits are eliminated from the consolidated financial statements. The portion of subsidiaries' owners' equity and the portion of subsidiaries' net profits and losses and comprehensive incomes for the period not attributable to the Company are recognized as minority interests, net profit attributed to minority interests and total comprehensive incomes attributed to minority interests and presented separately in the consolidated financial statements under shareholders' equity, net profits and total comprehensive income respectively.

   If the accounting treatment of a transaction is inconsistent in the financial statements at the Group level and at the Company or its subsidiary level, adjustment will be made from the perspective of the Group.
2. Cash and cash equivalents

The effect of exchange rate changes on cash is presented separately in the cash flow statement.

         The Group's business model for financial asset management aims to receive contractual cash flows. The contractual cash flow characteristics of such financial assets are consistent with basic loan arrangement, which means the cash flow generated at certain dates is only the payment for the principal and corresponding interest based on unpaid principal. The interest income of such financial assets is recognized using the effective interest method. Such financial assets mainly comprise cash at bank and on hand, notes receivable, accounts receivable, other receivables, debt investments and long-term receivables. Debt investments and long-term receivables due within 1 year (inclusive) at the balance sheet date are included in the current portion of non-current assets; debt investments with maturities of no more than 1 year (inclusive) at acquisition are included in other current assets.
         Measured at fair value through other comprehensive income:
         The Group's business model for the financial asset management aims to receive contractual cash flows and hold the financial assets for sale. The contractual cash flow characteristics of such financial assets are consistent with basic loan arrangement. Such financial assets are measured at fair value through other comprehensive income. However, impairment losses or gains, exchange gains or losses and interest income calculated using the effective interest method are included in profit or loss in the current period. Such financial assets mainly comprise financing receivables and other debt investments, etc. Such financial assets are presented as other debt investments. Other debt investments due within 1 year (inclusive) at the balance sheet date are included in the current portion of non-current assets, other debt investments with maturities of no more than 1 year (inclusive) at acquisition are included in other current assets.

         Debt instruments not classified as financial assets and measured at amortized cost or at fair value through other comprehensive income are presented as financial assets held for trading at fair value through profit or loss by the Group. At initial recognition, the Group designates a portion of financial assets as those measured at fair value through profit or loss to eliminate or dramatically reduce accounting mismatches.Financial assets with maturities over 1 year and expected to be held over 1 year at the balance sheet date are presented as other non-current financial assets.
         Equity instruments
         Investments in equity instruments over which the Group exert no control, joint control or significant influence, are presented as financial assets held for trading and are measured at fair value through profit or loss; financial assets expected to be held over 1 year at the balance sheet date are presented as other non-current financial assets.
      2. Impairment
         Relevant loss provision is recognized for financial assets measured at amortized cost, investments in equity instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income, contract assets and financial guarantee contracts based on Expected Credit Loss ("ECL").
         ECL is recognized when the Group considers reasonable and supportable information that is related to past events, current situation and forecasts on future economic conditions, and calculates probability-weighted amount of the present value of the difference between cash flows of contract receivable and expected cash flows, taking default risk as the weight.
         ECL of financial instruments in different stages are measured respectively at each balance sheet date by the Group. Stage 1 includes financial instruments that have not had a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition. For these assets, loss provisions are provided at 12-month ECL; Stage 2 includes financial instruments that have had a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition but that do not have objective evidence of impairment. For these financial instruments, lifetime ECL are recognized. Stage 3 includes financial assets that have objective evidence of impairment at the reporting date. For these assets, lifetime ECL are recognized.

   2. 1. Impairment (Continued)
         For financial instruments with low credit risk at the balance sheet date, the Group assumes the credit risk of such financial instruments does not increase significantly after the initial recognition, and measures loss provision based on 12-month ECL.
         For financial instruments in Stage 1 and Stage 2 and that with low credit risk, interest income is calculated based on gross carrying amount without deduction of impairment provision and the effective interest rate. For financial instruments in the Stage 3, interest income is calculated based on amortized cost by using carrying amount less impairment provision appropriated and the effective interest rate.
         For notes receivable, accounts receivable, financing receivables and contract assets caused by sales of goods, rendering of services and other daily operating activities, no matter whether there is a significant financing component, the Group measures their loss provision based on lifetime ECL.

When there is no information at reasonable cost to assess the ECL on the individual basis, the Group classifies receivables into several groups in accordance with their credit risk characteristics and measures ECL on the basis of grouping basis. Basis for grouping is as follows:

Financing receivables and notes receivable group:

Financing receivables group	Bank acceptance notes
Group A	Trade acceptance notes within the scope of consolidation
Group B	All other remaining trade acceptance notes from other companies
	other than Group A
Accounts receivable group:
Group A	Accounts receivable within the scope of consolidation
Group B	All other remaining accounts receivable from other companies other
	than Group A

Other receivables and long-term receivables group:

Group A	Other receivables and long-term receivables within the scope of
	consolidation
Group B	Loans and payments in advance
Group C	Interest receivable of bank deposits and dividends receivable
Group D	All other remaining receivables other than Group A, Group B and
	Group C

         For accounts receivable, notes receivable and financing receivables caused by sales of goods, rendering of services and other daily operating activities that on the grouping basis, the Group calculates the ECL by referring to historical credit loss experience, considering current situation and future economic conditions, and based on the exposure at default ("EAD") and lifetime ECL ratio. For other notes receivables, financing receivables and other receivables on the grouping basis, the Group calculates the ECL by referring to historical credit loss experience, considering current situation and future economic conditions, and based on the EAD and the ECL ratio within 12 months or for the lifetime.
         For loans and advances that are accounted for as other receivables, the Group measures loans based on the client's "probability of default" and financial status of the agreed obligations, taking into account EAD and possible future development trends.
         Impairment losses provision or reversal is recognised in profit or loss in the current period by the Group. For debt instrument measured at fair value through other comprehensive income, the Group adjusted other comprehensive income accordingly upon the recognition of the impairment losses or gains into profit or loss.
      2. Derecognition
         A financial asset is derecognized when any of the below criteria is met: (1) the contractual rights to receive the cash flows from the financial asset expire; (2) the financial asset has been transferred and the Group transfers substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset to the transferee; or (3) the financial asset has been transferred and the Group has not retained control of the financial asset, although the Group neither transfers nor retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset.
         On derecognition of investments in other equity instruments, the difference between the carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received and the cumulative changes in fair value that had been recognized directly in other comprehensive income, is recognized in retained earnings. On derecognition of other financial assets, the difference between the carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received and the cumulative changes in fair value that had been recognized directly in other comprehensive income, is recognized in profit of loss in the current period.

2. 1. Financial liabilities
      Financial liabilities are classified into the following categories at initial recognition: financial liabilities measured at amortized cost and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss.
      The financial liabilities of the Group mainly comprise of financial liabilities measured at amortized cost, including notes payable, accounts payable, other payables, borrowings and bonds payable. Such financial liabilities are recognized initially at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred, and subsequently measured using the effective interest method. Such financial liabilities with maturities no more than one year (inclusive) are classified as current liabilities. Other financial liabilities with maturities over one year but are due within one year (inclusive) at the balance sheet date are classified as the current portion of non-current liabilities. Others are classified as non-current liabilities.
      A financial liability is derecognized or partly derecognized when the current obligation is discharged or partly discharged. The difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability or the derecognized part of the financial liability and the consideration paid is recognized in profit or loss in the current period.
   2. Determination of fair value of financial instruments
      The fair value of a financial instrument that is traded in an active market is determined at the quoted price in the active market. The fair value of a financial instrument that is not traded in an active market is determined by using a valuation technique. At valuation, the Group uses valuation techniques that are applicable in the current situation and supported by adequate available data and other information, selects inputs with the same characteristics as those of assets or liabilities considered in relevant transactions of assets or liabilities by market participants, and gives priority to the use of relevant observable inputs. The Group uses unobservable inputs when relevant observable inputs are not available or feasible.

2. 1. Classification
      Inventories include amounts of materials and finished goods, spare parts, fuel, low value consumables, and are stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value.
   2. Costing of inventories when issued
      Cost of materials, finished goods, fuel and spare parts is determined using weighted average method when issued while low value consumables are charged to cost in full when issued for use.
   3. Basis for determining net realizable values of inventories and method for making provision for decline in the value of inventories
      Provision for decline in the value of inventories is determined at the excess amount of the carrying amounts of the inventories over their net realizable value. Net realizable value is determined based on the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated costs to completion and estimated costs necessary to make the sale and related taxes.
   4. The Group adopts the perpetual inventory system.
3. Long-termequity investments
   Long-term equity investments comprise the Company's long-term equity investments in its subsidiaries, and the Group's long-term equity investments in its joint ventures and associates.
   Subsidiaries are the investees over which the Company is able to exercise control. A joint venture is a joint arrangement which is structured through a separate vehicle over which the Group has joint control together with other parties and only has rights to the net assets of the arrangement based on legal forms, contractual terms and other facts and circumstances. An associate is the investee over which the Group has significant influence by participating in the financial and operating policy decisions.
   Investments in subsidiaries are presented in the Company's financial statements using the cost method, and are adjusted to the equity method when preparing the consolidated financial statements. Investments in joint ventures and associates are accounted for using the equity method.

2. 1. Determination of investment cost
      For long-term equity investments acquired through a business combination: for long-term equity investments acquired through a business combination involving enterprises under common control, the investment cost shall be the absorbing party's share of the carrying amount of owners' equity of the party being absorbed at the combination date; for long-term equity investment acquired through a business combination involving enterprises not under common control, the investment cost shall be the combination cost.
      For long-term equity investments acquired not through a business combination: for long-term equity investment acquired by payment in cash, the initial investment cost shall be the purchase price actually paid; for long-term equity investments acquired by issuing equity securities, the initial investment cost shall be the fair value of the equity securities issued.
   2. Subsequent measurement and recognition of related profit and loss
      For long-term equity investments accounted for using the cost method, they are measured at the initial investment costs, and cash dividends or profit distribution declared by the investees are recognized as investment income in profit or loss.
      For long-term equity investments accounted for using 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 acquisition date, the long-term equity investment is measured at 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 acquisition date, the difference is included in profit or loss and the cost of the long-term equity investment is adjusted upwards accordingly.
      For long-term equity investments accounted for using the equity method, the Group recognizes the investment income according to its share of net profit or loss of the investee. The Group discontinues recognizing its share of the net losses of an investee after the carrying amounts of the long-term equity investment together with any long-term interests that in substance form part of the investor's net investment in the investee are reduced to zero. However, if the Group has obligations for additional losses and the criteria with respect to recognition of provisions under the accounting standards on contingencies are satisfied, the Group continues recognizing the investment losses and the provisions. The changes of the Group's share of the investee's owner's equity other than those arising from the net profit or loss, other comprehensive income and profit distribution are recognized in the Group's capital surplus and the carrying amounts of the long-term equity investment are adjusted accordingly. The carrying amount of the investment is reduced by the Group's share of the profit distribution or cash dividends declared by an investee. The unrealized profits or losses arising from the transactions between the Group and its investees are eliminated in proportion to the Group's equity interest in the investees, based on which the investment gain or losses are recognized. Any losses resulting from transactions between the Group and its investees attributable to asset impairment losses are not eliminated.

      When the Group increases the percentage of shareholding in investee due to additional investment, but the investee remains to be an associate or a joint venture, it shall be accounted for using equity method with the updated percentage of shareholding. When the additional 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 additional investment date, the cost of long-term equity investment is not adjusted; when the additional investment cost is less than the Group's share of the fair value of the investee's identifiable net assets at the additional investment date, the difference is included in non-operating income and the cost of the long-term equity investment is adjusted upwards accordingly. While making the adjustment, goodwill relating to the original and additional investment or the amount included in profit or loss should be considered.
   2. Basis for determining existence of control, jointly control or significant influence over investees
      Control is the power to govern an investee, so as to obtain variable returns from its involvement with the investee, and has the ability to use its power over the investee to affect the amount of the investor's returns.
      Joint control is the contractually agreed sharing of control of an arrangement, which exists only when decisions about the relevant activities require the unanimous consent of the parties sharing control.
      Significant influence is the power to participate in the financial and operating policy decisions of the investee, but is not control or joint control over those policies.
   3. Impairment of long-term equity investments
      The carrying amounts of long-term equity investments in subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates are reduced to the recoverable amounts when the recoverable amounts are below their carrying amounts (Note 2 (18)).

1. Investment properties
   Investment properties, including land use rights that have already been leased out, buildings that are held for the purpose of leasing, are measured initially at cost. Subsequent expenditures incurred in relation to an investment property are included in the cost of the investment property when it is probable that the associated economic benefits will flow to the Group and their costs can be reliably measured; otherwise, the expenditures are recognized in profit or loss in the period in which they are incurred.
   The Group adopts the cost model for subsequent measurement of investment properties. Land use rights are amortized on the straight-line basis over their approved use period of 35-50 years. Buildings are depreciated to their estimated net residual values over their estimated useful lives. The estimated useful lives, the estimated net residual values that are expressed as a percentage of cost and the annual depreciation rates of buildings and land use rights are as follows:

	Estimated	Estimated net	Annual depreciation/
	useful lives	residual values	amortization rates
Buildings	30 years	4%	3.2%
Land use rights	35-50 years	-	2.0%-2.9%

When an investment property is transferred to owner-occupied properties, it is reclassified as fixed asset or intangible asset on the date of the transfer. When an owner-occupied property is transferred out for earning rentals or for capital appreciation, the fixed asset or intangible asset is reclassified as investment properties at its carrying amount on the date of the transfer. When transferred, carrying amount before transfer shall be recorded as cost after transfer.

The investment property's estimated useful life, net residual value and depreciation method applied are reviewed and adjusted as appropriate at each year-end.

An investment property is derecognized on disposal or when the investment property is permanently withdrawn from use and no future economic benefits are expected from its disposal. The net amount of proceeds from sale, transfer, retirement or damage of an investment property after its carrying amount and related taxes and expenses is recognized in profit or loss for the current period.

The carrying amount of an investment property is reduced to the recoverable amount if the recoverable amount is below the carrying amount (Note 2 (18)).

2. 1. Recognition and initial measurement of fixed assets
      Fixed assets comprise buildings, port facilities, storage facilities, loading equipment, machinery and equipment, vessels, transportation equipment, communication facilities, office equipment and other equipment.
      Fixed assets are recognized when it is probable that the related economic benefits will flow to the Group and the costs can be reliably measured. Fixed assets purchased or constructed by the Group are initially measured at cost at the time of acquisition. The fixed assets contributed by the State shareholders at the reorganization of the Company into a corporation are recognized based on the evaluated amounts as approved by the state-owned assets administration department.
      Subsequent expenditures incurred for a fixed asset are included in the cost of the fixed asset when it is probable that the associated economic benefits will flow to the Group and the related cost can be reliably measured. The carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognized. All the other subsequent expenditures are recognized in profit or loss in the period in which they are incurred.
   2. Depreciation methods of fixed assets
      Fixed assets are depreciated using the straight-line method to allocate the cost of the assets to their estimated residual values over their estimated useful lives. For the fixed assets that have been provided for impairment loss, the related depreciation charge is prospectively determined based on the adjusted carrying amounts over their remaining useful lives.
      The estimated useful lives, the estimated residual values expressed as a percentage of cost and the annual depreciation rates of fixed assets are as follows:

			Annual
	Estimated	Estimated net	depreciation
	useful lives	residual values	rates
Buildings	30 years	4%	3.2%
Port facilities	20-45 years	4%	2.1%-4.8%
Storage facilities	20-45 years	4%	2.1%-4.8%
Loading equipment	10 years	4%	9.6%
Machinery and equipment	5-18 years	4%	5.2%-19.2%
Vessels	18 years	5%	5.3%
Transportation equipment	10-12 years	4%	8.0%-9.6%
Communication facilities	5-8 years	4%	12.0%-19.2%
Office equipment and other equipment	5-12 years	4%	8.0%-19.2%

The estimated useful life and the estimated net residual value of a fixed asset and the depreciation method applied to the asset are reviewed and adjusted as appropriate at each year-end.

   2. Disposal of fixed assets
      A fixed asset is derecognized on disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. The amount of proceeds from disposals on sale, transfer, retirement or damage of a fixed asset net of its carrying amount and related taxes and expenses is recognized in profit or loss for the current period.
3. Construction in progress
   Construction in progress is measured at actual cost. Actual cost comprises construction costs, installation costs, borrowing costs that are eligible for capitalization and other costs necessary to bring the fixed assets ready for their intended use. Construction in progress is transferred to fixed assets when the assets are ready for their intended use, and depreciation begins from the following month. The carrying amount of construction in progress is reduced to the recoverable amount when the recoverable amount is below the carrying amount (Note 2 (18)).
4. Borrowing costs
   The borrowing costs that are directly attributable to acquisition and construction of an asset that needs a substantially long period of time for its intended use commence to be capitalized and recorded as part of the cost of the asset when expenditures for the asset and borrowing costs have been incurred, and the activities relating to the acquisition and construction that are necessary to prepare the asset for its intended use have commenced. The capitalization of borrowing costs ceases when the asset under acquisition or construction becomes ready for its intended use and the borrowing costs incurred thereafter are recognized in profit or loss for the current period. Capitalization of borrowing costs is suspended during periods in which the acquisition or construction of an asset is interrupted abnormally and the interruption lasts for more than 3 months, until the acquisition or construction is resumed.
   The capitalized amount of specific borrowings intended to be used for the acquisition and construction of qualifying assets is determined by the interest expenses incurred in the period less interest income of the unused borrowings deposited at bank or investment income from temporary investments.
   The capitalized amount of general borrowings intended to be used for the acquisition and construction of qualifying assets is determined by the weighted average of the excess of accumulated capital expenditure over capital expenditure of the special borrowings multiplied by the weighted average effective interest rate of the utilized general borrowings.The effective interest rate is the rate at which the future cash flows of the borrowings over the expected lifetime or a shorter applicable period are discounted into the initial recognized amount of the borrowings.

1. Long-termprepaid expenses
   Long-term prepaid expenses include the expenditures for improvements to right-of-use assets, and other expenditures that has been incurred but should be recognized as expenses over more than one year in the current and subsequent periods. Long-term prepaid expenses are amortized on the straight-line basis over the expected beneficial period and are presented at actual expenditures net of accumulated amortization.
2. Impairment of long-term assets
   Fixed assets, construction in progress, investment properties, right-of-use assets, intangible assets with a finite useful life and long-term equity investments in subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates are tested for impairment if there is any indication that an asset may be impaired at the balance date. Intangible assets which are not ready for their intended use are tested at least annually for impairment, irrespective of whether there is any indication that it may be impaired. If the result of the impairment test indicates that the recoverable amount of an asset is less than its carrying amount, a provision for impairment and an impairment loss are recognized for the amount by which the asset's carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset's fair value less costs to sell and the present value of the future cash flows expected to be derived from the asset. Provision for asset impairment is determined and recognized on the individual asset basis. If it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the recoverable amount of a group of assets to which the asset belongs is determined. A group of assets is the smallest group of assets that is able to generate independent cash inflows.
   Goodwill that is separately presented in the financial statements is tested at least annually for impairment, irrespective of whether there is any indication that it may be impaired. In conducting the test, the carrying value of goodwill is allocated to the related asset group or groups of asset groups which are expected to benefit from the synergies of the business combination. If the result of the test indicates that the recoverable amount of an asset group or a group of asset groups, including the allocated goodwill, is lower than its carrying amount, the corresponding impairment loss is recognized. The impairment loss is first deducted from the carrying amount of goodwill that is allocated to the asset group or group of asset groups, and then deducted from the carrying amounts of other assets within the asset group or group of asset groups in proportion to the carrying amounts of assets other than goodwill.
   Once the above asset impairment loss is recognized, it will not be reversed for the value recovered in the subsequent periods.

1. Provisions
   Provisions for product warranties, onerous contracts etc. are recognized when the Group has a present obligation, 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.
   A provision is initially measured at the best estimate of the expenditures required to settle the related present obligation. Factors surrounding a contingency, such as the risks, uncertainties and the time value of money, are taken into account as a whole in reaching the best estimate of a provision. Where the effect of the time value of money is material, the best estimate is determined by discounting the related future cash outflows; the increase in the discounted amount of the provision arising from passage of time is recognized as interest expense.
   The carrying amount of provisions is reviewed at each balance sheet date and adjusted to reflect the current best estimate.
   The financial guarantee contract loss provision recognized by the Group on the basis of expected credit losses is recognized as an estimated liability.
   The provisions expected to be settled within one year since the balance sheet date are classified as current liabilities.
2. Revenue recognition
   The Group recognizes revenue at the amount of consideration to which the Group expects to be entitled when customers obtain control of relevant goods or services.
   At the beginning date of a contract, the Group should assess the contract to identify the individual contract obligations in the contract, and to confirm whether the individual contract obligations are to be satisfied over time or at a point in time and then recognize the revenue respectively when the individual contract obligations are satisfied.

1. Revenue recognition (Continued)
2. 1. Rendering of services
      The corresponding revenue recognition methods are summarised as follows:
   2. • Income from services is recognized based on the progress of completed services over a period of time, including stevedoring of goods (including metal ores, coal, crude oil, grains, break bulk cargo, containers), port management, logistics and transportation, tugboat and barging, ocean shipping tallying, construction and other services, which is determined based on proportion of costs incurred to date to the estimated total costs. On the balance sheet date, the Group re-estimates progress of completed services to reflect the changes of the compliance with the contract.
      • Income from stacking of goods like metal ores, coal, crude oil, grains, break bulk cargo, containers is recognized on the straight-line basis over the service period.

When the revenue is recognized according to the progress of completed services by the Group, the amounts with unconditional collection right obtained by the Group are recognized as accounts receivable, and the rest are recognized as contract assets. Meanwhile, loss provision for accounts receivable and contract assets is recognized based on ECL (Note 2 (9)). If the contract amount received or receivable exceeds the amount for the completed services, the difference is recognized as contract liabilities. Contract assets and contract liabilities under the same contract are presented on a net basis.

Contract costs include contract performance costs and contract acquisition costs. Costs for rendering of services are recognized as contract performance costs, and are carried forward to cost of sales from main operations according to the progress of services completed when the revenue is recognized. The Group will recognize the incremental costs incurred in obtaining the contracts as contract acquisition costs. If the carrying amount of contract costs exceeds the residual considerations expected to be obtained from the provision of the services less the costs expected to be incurred, the Group makes provision for impairment for the difference and recognizes it as assets impairment loss.

The Group accesses whether it is the principal or an agent in the transactions regarding whether the Group has the control of goods when transferring the goods to the customer or rendering of services. Provided that the Group has the control of goods (or services) before the transfer of the goods for services, it is the principal and should recognise revenue for the gross amount of consideration received or receivable; otherwise it is the agent and should recognise revenue at the amount of commissions and fees to which the Group expects to be entitled.

1. Sale of goods
   Revenue from sales of oil and electricity belongs to contract obligations to be satisfied at a point in time and the corresponding revenue is recognized when the control of goods is transferred to the buyer.

1. Government grants
   Government grants are transfers of monetary or non-monetary assets from the government to the Group at nil consideration, including refund of taxes, financial subsidies, etc.
   Government grant is recognized when the conditions attached to it can be complied with and the government grant can be received. For a government grant in the form of transfer of monetary assets, the grant is measured at the amount received or receivable. For a government grant in the form of transfer of non-monetary assets, it is measured at fair value; if the fair value is not reliably determinable, the grant is measured at nominal amount.
   Government grants related to assets are those obtained for forming long-term assets by purchase, construction or acquisition in other ways. Grants related to income are government grants other than those related to assets.
   Government grants related to assets are recorded as deferred income and recognized in profit or loss on a systemic basis over the useful lives of the assets.
   Government grants related to income that compensate future costs, expenses or losses are recorded as deferred income and recognized in profit or loss upon the recognition of the related costs, expenses or losses; government grants related to income that compensate incurred costs, expenses or losses are recognized in current profit or loss directly.
   The Group uses the same presentation method for similar government grants.
   Government grants that are related to ordinary activities are included in operating profit, otherwise, they are recorded in non-operating income or expenses.

1. Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities
   Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are calculated and recognized based on the differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts (temporary differences). Deferred tax asset is recognized for the deductible losses that can be carried forward to subsequent years for deduction of the taxable profit in accordance with the tax laws. No deferred tax liability is recognized for a temporary difference arising from the initial recognition of goodwill. No deferred tax asset or deferred tax liability is recognized for the temporary differences resulting from the initial recognition of assets or liabilities due to a transaction other than a business combination, which affects neither accounting profit nor taxable profit (or deductible loss). At the balance sheet date, deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realized or the liability is settled.
   Deferred tax assets are only recognized for deductible temporary differences, deductible losses and tax credits to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available in the future against which the deductible temporary differences, deductible losses and tax credits can be utilized.
   Deferred tax liabilities are recognized for temporary differences arising from investments in subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures, except where the Group is able to control the timing of reversal of the temporary difference, and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future. When it is probable that the temporary differences arising from investments in subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures will be reversed in the foreseeable future and that the taxable profit will be available in the future against which the temporary differences can be utilized, the corresponding deferred tax assets are recognized.
   Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when:
2. • the deferred taxes are related to the same tax payer within the Group and the same taxation authority;
   • that tax payer within the Group has a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets against current tax liabilities.

If the Group can reasonably assure to obtain the ownership of lease assets when the lease period is due, depreciation is charged over the residual useful life of lease assets. Otherwise, depreciation is charged over the shorter of the lease period and the residual useful life of lease assets. The carrying amounts of right-of-use assets are reduced to the recoverable amounts when the recoverable amounts are below their carrying amounts.
   For short-term leases with lease periods not exceeding 12 months and leases of low-value assets with low value, the Group chooses not to recognize the right-of-use assets and lease liabilities. And the related rental expense are either recognized over the period of the lease in current profit or loss or capitalized as part of the cost of related assets on a straight-line basis.

1. Critical accounting estimates and judgements
   The Group continually evaluates the critical accounting estimates and key judgements applied based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable.
   The critical accounting estimates and key assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next accounting year are outlined below:
2. 1. Critical accounting estimates and assumption
   2. 1. Estimate on useful lives and residual values of fixed assets
         The Group's management estimates the expected useful lives and residual values of fixed assets, and review them periodically. The estimates are based on the historical actual useful lives and industry practices of fixed assets with similar nature and function. In the processing of using fixed assets, the economic environment, technical environment and other environment may have a significant impact on the useful lives and expected net residual values of fixed assets; and also changes in the economic environment, technical environment and other environment may also lead significant changes in the expected realization method of economic benefits related to fixed assets. If there are significant changes from previously estimated useful lives and residual values, the amount of depreciation expenses may change.
      2. Actuarial calculation of early retirement and supplemental retirement benefits
         The liabilities recognized from early retirement and supplemental retirement benefits by the Group are calculated on an actuarial basis using a number of assumptions. The assumptions include discount rates, salaries and welfare growth rate, and mortality rates, etc. Any differences between the actual results and assumptions are accounted in the current period in accordance with relevant accounting policies. Although the Group considers their assumptions are reasonable, change of experience data and assumptions will affect the amounts of early retirement benefit and supplemental retirement benefits liabilities and other comprehensive income associated with supplemental retirement benefits of the Group.

         The Group calculates ECL according to exposure at default and ECL rate, and determines ECL rate based on probability of default and loss given default. When determining ECL rate, the Group adopts data like historical credit loss experience in combination with current situation and forward-looking information to adjust historical data. When considering forward-looking information, the Group uses indicators including the risk of economic downturn, the expected increase of unemployment rate, external market environment, technology environment and changes on customer situation. The Group periodically monitors and reviews assumptions relevant to the measurement of ECL. There were no significant changes on the above technological and key assumptions during the six months ended 30 June 2020.
   3. Critical judgements in applying the accounting policies Classification and measurement of financial assets
      Significant judgements involved in determining the classification of financial assets include analysis of business mode and characteristics of the contractual cash flows.
      The Group determines the business model of financial assets management based on the grouping basis, taking into account the pattern of assessment and reporting the performance of financial assets to key management, risks affecting the performance of financial assets and their management pattern, and relevant management's way of obtaining remuneration.
      When assessing whether the contractual cash flow of financial assets are consistent with basic loan arrangement, the Group adopts the following judgements: whether the time distribution or amounts of the principal within the duration will change due to early repayment and other reason; whether the interest only include time value of money, credit risk, other basic loan risk and the consideration of cost and profit. For example, whether the amounts of early repayment only reflect principal unpaid, the interest based on principal unpaid and reasonable compensation paid for early termination of a contract.
