5. Basis of accounting and principle of measurement

The Group has adopted the accrual basis of accounting. Except for financial instruments which aremeasured at fair value, the Group adopts the historical cost as the principle of measurement of thefinancial statements. Upon being restructured into a stock company, the fixed assets and intangibleassets initially contributed by the state-owned shareholders are recognized based on the valuationamounts confirmed by the state-owned assets administration department. Where assets are impaired,provisions for asset impairment are made in accordance with the relevant requirements.

Where the historical cost is adopted as the measurement basis, assets are recorded at the amount ofcash or cash equivalents paid or the fair value of the consideration given to acquire them at the timeof their acquisition. Liabilities are recorded at the amount of proceeds or assets received or thecontractual amounts for assuming the present obligation, or, at the amounts of cash or cashequivalents expected to be paid to settle the liabilities in the normal course of business.

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in anorderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, regardless of whether thatprice is directly observable or estimated using valuation technique. Fair value measurement and/ordisclosure in the financial statements are determined according to the above basis.

In the measurement of non-financial assets at fair value, market participants' ability to best utilizesuch assets to generate most economic benefits, or the ability to sell such assets to other marketparticipants who are able to best utilize the assets to generate economic benefits is taken intoaccount.

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

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

? Level 1 inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities thatthe entity can access at the measurement date;? Level 2 inputs are inputs, other than quoted prices included within Level 1, that are observablefor the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; and? Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.

6. Business combinations

Business combinations are classified into business combinations involving enterprises undercommon control and business combinations not involving enterprises under common control.

6.1 Business combinations involving enterprises under common control

A business combination involving enterprises under common control is a business combination inwhich all of the combining enterprises are ultimately controlled by the same party or parties bothbefore and after the combination, and that control is not transitory.

Assets and liabilities obtained shall be measured at their respective carrying amounts as recordedby the combining entities at the date of the combination. The difference between the carryingamount of the net assets obtained and the carrying amount of the consideration paid for thecombination is adjusted to the share premium in capital reserve. If the share premium is notsufficient to absorb the difference, any excess shall be adjusted against retained earnings.

Costs that are directly attributable to the combination are charged to profit or loss in the period inwhich they are incurred.

6.2 Business combinations not involving enterprises under common control and goodwill

A business combination not involving enterprises under common control is a business combinationin which all of the combining enterprises are not ultimately controlled by the same party or partiesbefore and after the combination.

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

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

6. Business combinations - continued

6.2 Business combinations not involving enterprises under common control and goodwill- continued

When a business combination contract provides for the acquirer's recovery of considerationpreviously paid contingent on one or multiple future event(s), the Group recognizes the contingentconsideration provided in the contract as an asset, as part of the consideration transferred in thebusiness combination, and includes it in the cost of business combination at the fair value at theacquisition date. Within 12 months after the acquisition, where the contingent consideration needsto be adjusted as new or further evidences are obtained in respect of the circumstances existed atthe acquisition date, the adjustment shall be recognized and the amount originally recognized ingoodwill or non-operating income shall be adjusted. A change in or adjustment to the contingentconsideration under other circumstances shall be accounted for in accordance with AccountingStandards for Business Enterprise No. 22 - Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurementand Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises No. 13 - Contingencies. Any change oradjustment is included in profit or loss for the current period.

Where the cost of combination exceeds the acquirer's interest in the fair value of the acquiree'sidentifiable net assets, the difference is treated as an asset and recognized as goodwill, which ismeasured at cost on initial recognition. Where the cost of combination is less than the acquirer'sinterest in the fair value of the acquiree's identifiable net assets, the acquirer reassesses themeasurement of the fair values of the acquiree's identifiable assets, liabilities and contingentliabilities and measurement of the cost of combination. If after that reassessment, the cost ofcombination is still less than the acquirer's interest in the fair value of the acquiree's identifiable netassets, the acquirer recognizes the remaining difference immediately in profit or loss for the currentperiod.

If either the fair values of identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities acquired in acombination or the cost of business combination can be determined only provisionally by the endof the period in which the business combination was affected, the acquirer recognizes and measuresthe combination using those provisional values. Any adjustments to those provisional values withintwelve months after the acquisition date are treated as if they had been recognized and measured onthe acquisition date.

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

7. Consolidated financial statements

7.1 Determination criteria of control

Control exists when the investor has power over the investee; is exposed, or has rights, to variablereturns from its involvement with the investee; and has the ability to use its power over the investeeto affect its returns. The Group reassesses whether or not it controls an investee if facts andcircumstances indicate that there are changes in the above elements of the definition of control.

7.2 Preparation of consolidated financial statements

The scope of consolidation in the consolidated financial statements is determined on the basis ofcontrol.

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

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

For subsidiaries acquired through a business combination involving enterprises not under commoncontrol, the operating results and cash flows from the acquisition date (the date when control isobtained) 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 acquiredthrough a business combination involving enterprises under common control or the party beingabsorbed under merger by absorption are included in the Group's scope of consolidation as if theyhad been included in the scope of consolidation from the date when they first came under thecommon control of the ultimate controlling party. Their operating results and cash flows from thedate when they first came under the common control of the ultimate controlling party are includedin the consolidated income statement and consolidated cash flow statement, as appropriate.

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

Where the accounting policies and accounting periods adopted by subsidiaries are inconsistent withthose of the Company, appropriate adjustments are made to the subsidiaries' financial statements inaccordance with the accounting policies of the Company.

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

7.2 Preparation of consolidated financial statements - continued

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

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

Acquisition of minority interests or disposal of interests in a subsidiary that does not result in theloss of control over the subsidiary is accounted for as equity transactions. The carrying amounts ofthe Company's interests and minority interests are adjusted to reflect the changes in their relativeinterests in the subsidiary. The difference between the amount by which the minority interests areadjusted and the fair value of the consideration paid or received is adjusted to capital reserve. If thecapital reserve is not sufficient to absorb the difference, the excess is adjusted against retainedearnings.

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

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

7.2 Preparation of consolidated financial statements - continued

When the Group loses control of a subsidiary in two or more arrangements (transactions), termsand conditions of the arrangements (transactions) and their economic effects are considered. Oneor more of the following indicate that the Group shall account for the multiple arrangements as a'package deal': (i) they are entered into at the same time or in contemplation of each other; (ii) theyform a complete transaction designed to achieve an overall commercial effect; (iii) the occurrenceof one transaction is dependent on the occurrence of at least one other transaction; (iv) onetransaction alone is not economically justified, but it is economically justified when consideredtogether with other transactions. Where the transactions of disposal of equity investments in asubsidiary until the loss of control are assessed as a package deal, these transactions are accountedfor as one transaction of disposal of a subsidiary with loss of control. Before losing control, thedifference of consideration received on disposal and the share of net assets of the subsidiarycontinuously calculated from acquisition date is recognized as other comprehensive income. Whenlosing control, the cumulated other comprehensive income is transferred to profit or loss of theperiod of losing control. If the transactions of disposal of equity investments in a subsidiary are notassessed as a package deal, these transactions are accounted for as unrelated transactions.

8. Joint arrangements

There are two types of joint arrangements - joint operations and joint ventures. The classification isbased on the rights and obligations of the parties under the joint venture arrangement, taking intoaccount factors such as the structure, legal form and contractual terms of the arrangement. A jointoperation is a joint arrangement whereby the parties that have joint control of the arrangement haverights to the assets, and obligations for the liabilities, relating to the arrangement. A joint venture isa joint arrangement whereby the parties that have joint control of the arrangement have rights to thenet assets of the arrangement.

The Group accounts for investments in joint ventures using equity method. Refer to Note (IV),

15.3.2 "Long-term equity investments accounted for using the equity method" for details.

When a group entity undertakes its activities under joint operations, the Group as a joint operatorrecognizes in relation to its interest in a joint operation: - its assets, including its share of any assetsheld jointly; its liabilities, including its share of any liabilities incurred jointly; its revenue from thesale of its share of the output arising from the joint operation; its share of the revenue from the saleof the output by the joint operation; and its expenses, including its share of any expenses incurredjointly. The Group accounts for the assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses relating to its interestin a joint operation in accordance with the accounting standards applicable to the particular assets,liabilities, revenues and expenses.

9. Cash and cash equivalents

Cash comprises cash on hand and deposits that can be readily withdrawn on demand. Cashequivalents are the Group's short-term (generally due within 3 months since the acquisition date),highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which aresubject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.

10. Transactions denominated in foreign currencies and translation of financial

statements denominated in foreign currencies

10.1 Transactions denominated in foreign currencies

A foreign currency transaction is recorded, on initial recognition, by applying the spot exchangerate on the date of the transaction.

At the balance sheet date, foreign currency monetary items are translated into functional currencyusing the spot exchange rates at the balance sheet date. Exchange differences arising from thedifferences between the spot exchange rates prevailing at the balance sheet date and those on initialrecognition 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 foreigncurrency that qualify for capitalization are capitalized as part of the cost of the qualifying assetduring the capitalization period; (2) exchange differences related to hedging instruments for thepurpose of hedging against foreign currency risks are accounted for using hedge accounting; (3)exchange differences arising from changes in the carrying amounts (other than the amortized cost)of monetary items at fair value through other comprehensive income are recognized as othercomprehensive income.

When the consolidated financial statements include foreign operation(s), if there is foreign currencymonetary item constituting a net investment in a foreign operation, exchange differences arisingfrom changes in exchange rates are recognized as "exchange differences arising from translation offinancial statements denominated in foreign currencies" in other comprehensive income, and inprofit or loss for the period upon disposal of the foreign operation.

Foreign currency non-monetary items measured at historical cost are translated to the amounts infunctional currency at the spot exchange rates on the dates of the transactions; the amounts infunctional currency remain unchanged. Foreign currency non-monetary items measured at fairvalue are re-translated at the spot exchange rate on the date when the fair value is determined.Difference between the re-translated functional currency amount and the original functionalcurrency amount is treated as changes in fair value (including changes in exchange rate) and isrecognized in profit or loss or as other comprehensive income.

10.2 Translation of financial statements denominated in foreign currencies

For the purpose of preparing the consolidated financial statements, financial statements of a foreignoperation are translated from the foreign currency into RMB using the following method: assetsand liabilities on the balance sheet are translated at the spot exchange rate prevailing at the balancesheet date; shareholders' equity items except for unappropriated profit are translated at the spotexchange rates at the dates on which such items arose; all items in the income statement as well asitems reflecting the distribution of profits are translated at the average exchange rates of theaccounting period of the consolidated financial statements; the opening balance of unappropriatedprofit is the translated closing balance of the previous year's unappropriated profit; the closingbalance of unappropriated profit is calculated and presented on the basis of each translated incomestatement and profit distribution item. The difference between the translated assets and theaggregate of liabilities and shareholders' equity items is recognized as other comprehensive incomeand included in shareholders' equity.

Cash flows arising from a transaction in foreign currency and the cash flows of a foreign subsidiaryare translated at average exchange rate during the accounting period of consolidated financialstatements. The effect of exchange rate changes on cash and cash equivalents is regarded as areconciling item and presented separately in the cash flow statement as "effect of exchange ratechanges on cash and cash equivalents".

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

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

In case of a disposal of part equity investments or other reason leading to lower interest percentagein foreign operations but does not result in the Group losing control over a foreign operation, theexchange differences arising from the translation of foreign currency statements related to thisdisposed part are re-attributed to minority interests and are not recognized in profit or loss. Forpartial disposals of equity interests in foreign operations which are associates or joint ventures, theproportionate share of the accumulated exchange differences arising from translation of statementsof foreign operations is reclassified to profit or loss.

11. Financial instruments

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

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

Financial assets and financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value (the method fordetermining the fair values of the financial assets and financial liabilities is set out in relateddisclosures under "basis of accounting and principle of measurement" in note(IV) 5). For financialassets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs are immediatelyrecognized in profit or loss. For other financial assets and financial liabilities, transaction costs areincluded in their initial recognized amounts. Upon initial recognition of contract assets, notesreceivable and accounts receivable that do not contain significant financing component or withoutconsidering the financing component included in the contract with a term not exceeding one yearunder the Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises No. 14 - Revenue ("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 afinancial liability and of allocating the interest income or interest expenses over the relevantaccounting periods.

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

The amortized cost of a financial asset or a financial liability is the amount of a financial asset or afinancial liability initially recognized net of principal repaid, plus or less the cumulative amortizedamount arising from amortization of the difference between the amount initially recognized and theamount at the maturity date using the effective interest method, net of cumulative credit lossallowance (only applicable to financial assets).

11.1 Classification, recognition and measurement of financial assets

Subsequent to initial recognition, the Group's financial assets of various categories are subsequentlymeasured at amortized cost, at fair value through other comprehensive income or at fair valuethrough profit or loss.

11.1 Classification, recognition and measurement of financial assets - continued

If the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solelypayments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding, and the financial asset isheld within a business model whose objective is achieved by collecting contractual cash flows, theGroup classifies such financial asset as financial assets at amortized cost, which include cash andbank balances, notes receivable, accounts receivable, other receivables and long-term receivablesetc.

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

On initial recognition, the Group may irrevocably designate non-trading equity instruments, otherthan contingent consideration recognized through business combination not involving enterprisesunder common control, as financial assets at FVTOCI on an individual basis. Such financial assetsat 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 ofshort-term profit-taking; or? It is a derivative that is not a financial guarantee contract or designated and effective as ahedging instrument.

Financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss ("FVTPL") include those classified asfinancial assets at FVTPL and those designated as financial assets at FVTPL:

? Financial assets not satisfying the criteria of classification as financial assets at amortized costand financial assets at FVTOCI are classified as financial assets at FVTPL.? Upon initial recognition, the Group may irrevocably designate the financial assets as atFVTPL if doing so eliminates or significantly reduces accounting mismatch.

Financial assets at FVTPL other than derivative financial assets are presented as financial assetsheld-for-trading. Financial assets with a maturity over one year since the balance sheet date (orwithout a fixed maturity) and expected to be held for over one year are presented under other non-current financial assets.

11.1.1 Financial assets measured at amortized cost

Financial assets measured at amortized cost are subsequently measured at amortized cost using theeffective interest method. Gain or loss arising from impairment or derecognition is recognized inprofit or loss.

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

? For purchased or originated credit-impaired financial assets, the Group calculates andrecognizes the interest income based on amortized cost of the financial asset and the effectiveinterest rate through credit adjustment since initial recognition.

11.1.2 Financial assets at FVTOCI

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

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

For financial assets at amortized cost, financial assets classified as at FVTOCI, lease receivables,contract assets, loan commitments that are not financial liabilities at FVTPL, financial liabilitiesthat are not at FVTPL and financial guarantee contracts that are not qualified for derecognition dueto the transfer of financial assets or financial liabilities arising from continuing involvement of thetransferred financial assets, the Group accounts for the impairment and recognizes the provision forlosses on the basis of expected credit loss ("ECL").

For all contract assets, notes receivable and accounts receivable arising from transactions regulatedby Revenue Standards, and lease receivables arising from transactions regulated by the AccountingStandards for Business Enterprises No. 21 - Leases, the Group recognizes the provision for lossesat an amount equivalent to lifetime ECL.

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

Where the Group has measured the provision for losses at an amount equivalent to lifetime ECL ofa financial instrument in prior accounting period, but the financial instrument no longer satisfies thecriteria 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 equivalentto 12-month ECL at the current balance sheet date, with any resulting reversal of provision forlosses recognized as impairment gains in profit or loss for the period.

11.2.1 Significant increase of credit risk

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

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

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

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

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

(3) Significant changes in the external market indicators of credit risk of the same financial

instrument or similar financial instruments with the same expected duration. Theseindicators include: credit spreads, credit default swap prices against borrower, length of timeand extent to which the fair value of financial assets is less than their amortized cost, andother market information related to the borrower (such as the borrower's debt instrumentsor changes in the price of equity instruments);

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

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

(6) Adverse changes in business, financial or economic conditions that are expected to cause a

significant decrease in the debtor's ability to meet its debt obligations;

(7) An actual or expected significant change in the operating results of the debtor;

(8) Significant increase in credit risk of other financial instruments issued by the same debtor;

(9) Significant adverse changes in the regulatory, economic, or technological environment of

the debtor;

(10) Significant changes in the value of the collaterals or the quality of guarantees or credit

enhancements provided by third parties, which are expected to reduce the debtor's economicmotives to repay within the time limit specified in contract or affect the probability of default;

(11) Significant change in the debtor's economic motives to repay within the time limit specified

in contract;

(12) Expected changes to loan contract, including the exemption or revision of contractual

obligations, the granting of interest-free periods, the jump in interest rates, the requirementfor additional collateral or guarantees, or other changes in the contractual framework forfinancial instruments that may result from the breach of contract;

11.2.1 Significant increase of credit risk - continued

(13) Significant change in the expected performance and repayment of the debtor;

(14) Significant change in the method used by the Group to manage the credit of financial

instruments.

The Group assumes that the credit risk on a financial instrument has not increased significantlysince initial recognition if the financial instrument is determined to have lower credit risk at thebalance sheet date. A financial instrument is determined to have lower credit risk if: i) it has a lowerrisk of default, ii) the borrower has a strong capacity to meet its contractual cash flow obligationsin the near term and iii) adverse changes in economic and business conditions in the longer termmay, but will not necessarily, reduce the ability of the borrower to fulfil its contractual cash flowobligations.

11.2.2 Credit-impaired financial assets

When an event or several events that are expected to have adverse impact on the future cash flowsof the financial assets have occurred, the financial assets become credit-impaired. The evidences ofcredit impairment of financial assets include the following observable information:

(1) Significant financial difficulty of the issuer or debtor.

(2) A breach of contract by the debtor, such as a default or delinquency in interest or principal

payments.

(3) The creditor, for economic or legal reasons relating to the debtor's financial difficulty,

granting a concession to the debtor.

(4) It becomes probable that the debtor will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganizations.

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

of the issuer or the debtor.

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

fact of credit loss.

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

11.2.3 Determination of expected credit loss

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

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

contractual cash flows that are due to the Group under the contract and the cash flows that theGroup expects to receive;? For undrawn loan commitments (refer to Note IV, 11.4.1.3 for the detail of accounting

policies), the credit loss is the present value of the difference between the contractual cashflows that are due to the Group if the holder of the loan commitments draws down the loan,and the cash flows that the Group expects to receive if the loan is drawn down. The Group'sestimation of the ECL for loan commitments is consistent with its expectation of the loancommitments drawn down.? For financial guarantee contracts (refer to Note IV, 11.4.1.3 for the detail of accounting

policies), the credit loss is the present value of the expected payments to reimburse the holderfor the credit loss incurred less any amounts that the Group expects to receive from the holder,the debtor or any other party.? For financial assets credit-impaired at the balance sheet date, but not purchased or originatedcredit-impaired, the credit loss is the difference between the gross carrying amount of thefinancial assets and the present value of estimated future cash flows discounted at the originaleffective interest rate.

The factors reflected by the Group's measurement of ECL of financial instruments include: unbiasedprobability weighted average amount recognized by assessing a series of possible results; time valueof money; reasonable and supportable information related to historical events, current conditionand forecast of future economic position that is available without undue cost or effort at the balancesheet date.

11.2.4 Write-down of financial assets

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

11.3 Transfer of financial assets

The Group will derecognize a financial asset if one of the following conditions is satisfied: (i) thecontractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire; (ii) the financial asset has beentransferred and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset istransferred to the transferee; or (iii) although the financial asset has been transferred, the Groupneither transfers nor retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financialasset but has not retained control of the financial asset.

11.3 Transfer of financial assets - continued

If the Group neither transfers nor retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of afinancial asset, and it retains control of the financial asset, the Group will recognize the financialasset to the extent of its continuing involvement in the transferred financial asset and recognize anassociated liability. The Group will measure relevant liabilities as follows:

? For transferred financial assets carried at amortized cost, the carrying amount of relevantliabilities is the carrying amount of financial assets transferred with continuing involvementless amortized cost of the Group's retained rights (if the Group retains relevant rights upontransfer of financial assets) with addition of amortized cost of obligations assumed by theGroup (if the Group assumes relevant obligations upon transfer of financial assets). Relevantliabilities are not designated as financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss.? For transferred financial assets carried at fair value, the carrying amount of relevant liabilities

is the carrying amount of financial assets transferred with continuing involvement less fairvalue of the Group's retained rights (if the Group retains relevant rights upon transfer offinancial assets) with addition of fair value of obligations assumed by the Group (if the Groupassumes relevant obligations upon transfer of financial assets). Accordingly, the fair value ofrelevant rights and obligations shall be measured on an individual basis.

For the transfer of a financial asset in its entirety that satisfies the derecognition criteria, thedifference between (1) the carrying amount of the financial asset transferred and (2) the sum of theconsideration received from the transfer and any cumulative gain or loss that has been recognizedin other comprehensive income, is recognized in profit or loss. Where the transferred assets are non-trading equity instrument investments designated as at FVTOCI, cumulative gains or lossespreviously recognized in other comprehensive income are transferred out and included in retainedearnings.

If a part of the transferred financial asset qualifies for derecognition, the overall carrying amount ofthe financial asset prior to transfer is allocated between the part that continues to be recognized andthe part that is derecognized, based on the respective fair value of those parts at the date of transfer.The difference between (1) the carrying amount allocated to the part derecognized on the date ofderecognition and (2) the sum of the consideration received for the part derecognized and anycumulative gain or loss allocated to the part derecognized which has been previously recognized inother comprehensive income, is recognized in profit or loss. Where the transferred assets are non-trading equity instrument investments designated as at FVTOCI, cumulative gains or lossespreviously recognized in other comprehensive income are transferred out and included in retainedearnings.

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

11.4 Classification of financial liabilities and equity instruments

Financial instruments issued by the Group or their components are classified into financial liabilitiesor equity instruments on the basis of the substance of the contractual arrangements and the economicnature not only the legal form, together with the definition of financial liability and equityinstrument on initial recognition.

11.4.1 Classification, recognition and measurement of financial liabilities

On initial recognition, financial liabilities are classified into financial liabilities at FVTPL and otherfinancial liabilities.

11.4.1.1 Financial liabilities at FVTPL

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

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

? It has been acquired principally for the purpose of repurchasing in the near term; or? On initial recognition, it is part of a portfolio of identified financial instruments that the Groupmanages together and there is objective evidence that the Group has a recent actual pattern ofshort-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 followingconditions 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, inaccordance with the Group's formally documented risk management or investment strategy, andreports to key management personnel on that basis. (iii) The qualified hybrid financial instrumentcombines financial asset with embedded derivatives.

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

11.4.1.1 Financial liabilities at FVTPL - continued

For a financial liability designated as at FVTPL, the amount of changes in fair value of the financialliability that are attributable to changes in the credit risk of that liability shall be presented in othercomprehensive income, while other changes in fair value are included in profit or loss for the currentperiod. Upon the derecognition of such financial liability, the accumulated amount of changes infair value that are attributable to changes in the credit risk of that liability, which was recognized inother comprehensive income, is transferred to retained earnings. Any dividend or interest expenseon the financial liabilities is recognized in profit or loss. If the accounting treatment for the impactof the change in credit risk of such financial liability in the above ways would create or enlarge anaccounting 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 theacquirer in the business combination not involving enterprises under common control, the Groupmeasures such financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, and includes the changes inthe financial liabilities in profit or loss for the period.

11.4.1.2 Other financial liabilities

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

If the modification or renegotiation for the contract by the Group and its counterparties does notresult in derecognition of a financial liability subsequently measured at amortized cost but thechanges in contractual cash flows, the Group will recalculate the carrying amount of the financialliability, with relevant gain or loss recognized in profit or loss. The Group will determine thecarrying amount of the financial liability based on the present value of renegotiated or modifiedcontractual cash flows discounted at the original effective interest rate of the financial liability. Forall costs or expenses arising from modification or renegotiation of the contract, the Group will adjustthe modified carrying amount of the financial liability and make amortization during the remainingterm of the modified financial liability.

11.4.1.3 Financial guarantee contracts and loan commitments

A financial guarantee contract is a contract that requires the issuer to make specified payments toreimburse the holder of the contract for a loss it incurs because a specified debtor fails to makepayment when due in accordance with the original or modified terms of a debt instrument.Subsequent to initial recognition, financial guarantee contracts that are not designated as financialliabilities at fair value through profit or loss or financial liabilities arising from transfer of financialassets that do not meet the derecognition criteria or those arising from continuing involvement inthe transferred financial assets, and loan commitments to provide a loan at a below-market interestrate, 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 amortizationamount determined based on the revenue standards.

11.4.2 Derecognition of financial liabilities

The Group derecognizes a financial liability (or part of it) when the underlying present obligation(or part of it) is discharged. An agreement between the Group (the debtor) and the creditor to replacethe original financial liability with a new financial liability with substantially different terms isaccounted for as an extinguishment of the original financial liability and the recognition of a newfinancial liability.

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

11.4.3 Equity instruments

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

The Group recognizes the distribution to holders of the equity instruments as distribution of profits,and dividends paid do not affect total amount of shareholders' equity.

11.5 Derivatives and embedded derivatives

Derivatives include forward exchange contracts, currency swaps, interest rate swaps and foreignexchange options, etc. Derivatives are initially measured at fair value at the date when the derivativecontracts are entered into and are subsequently measured at fair value.

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

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

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

those of the host contract;

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

definition of a derivative;

(3) the hybrid contracts are not measured at fair value through profit or loss.

For the embedded derivative separated from the host contracts, the Group accounts for the hostcontracts in the hybrid contracts with applicable accounting standards. When the embeddedderivatives whose fair value cannot be measured reliably by the Group according to the terms andconditions of the embedded derivatives, the fair value of such derivatives are measured at thedifference between the fair value of the hybrid contracts and the fair value of the host contracts. Byadopting the above method, if the embedded derivative cannot be measured on a stand-alone basisat the time when it is acquired or at subsequent balance sheet dates, the hybrid instrument isdesignated as financial instruments at fair value through profit or loss as a whole.

11.6 Offsetting financial assets and financial liabilities

Where the Group has a legal right that is currently enforceable to set off the recognized financialassets and financial liabilities, and intends either to settle on a net basis, or to realize the financialasset and settle the financial liability simultaneously, a financial asset and a financial liability shallbe offset and the net amount is presented in the balance sheet. Except for the above circumstances,financial assets and financial liabilities shall be presented separately in the balance sheet and shallnot be offset.

11.7 Compound instruments

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

11.7 Compound instruments - continued

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

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

The transaction costs incurred for issuance of the convertible bonds are allocated between theliability portion and equity instrument portion in proportion to their respective fair values. Thetransaction cost relating to the equity instrument portion is directly included in equity instrument;while the transaction cost relating to the liability portion is included in the carrying amount of theliability, and amortized over the lifetime of the convertible bonds using effective interest method.

11.8 Reclassification of financial instruments

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

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

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

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

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

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

Where a financial asset at FVTPL is reclassified as a financial asset at FVTOCI by the Group, suchfinancial asset continues to be measured at fair value.

Where a financial asset at FVTPL is reclassified, the effective interest rate is determined on thebasis of the fair value of the financial asset at the date of reclassification.

12. Receivables

12.1 Determination and accounting methods for expected credit losses of receivables

The Group assesses the credit risk of receivables with significantly different credit risks on anindividual basis, and determine the credit losses of receivables on a portfolio basis using animpairment matrix for other receivables. The amount of increase in or reversal of allowance forexpected credit losses on receivables is included in profit or loss for the period as credit impairmentlosses or gains.

12.2 Categories of portfolios for which bad debt provision is assessed on a portfolio basis

according to credit risk characteristics and the basis for determination

The Group classifies receivables into groups A, B and C based on common risk characteristics. Thecommon credit risk characteristics adopted by the Group include: type of financial instrument,credit risk rating, initial recognition date, remaining contractual term, industry of the debtor,geographical location of the debtor, etc.

The perpetual inventory system is maintained for stock system.

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

materials

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

14.2 Recognition criteria and provision method for decline in value of inventories

At the balance sheet date, inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Ifthe cost of inventories is higher than the net realizable value, a provision for decline in value ofinventories is made.

Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less theestimated costs of completion, the estimated costs necessary to make the sale and relevant taxes.Net realizable value is determined on the basis of clear evidence obtained, after taking intoconsideration the purposes of inventories being held and effect of post balance sheet events.

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

After the provision for decline in value of inventories is made, if the circumstances that previouslycaused inventories to be written down below cost no longer exist so that the net realizable value ofinventories is higher than their cost, the original provision for decline in value is reversed and thereversal is included in profit or loss for the period.

15. Long-term equity investments

15.1 Basis for determining joint control and significant influence over investee

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

15.2 Determination of initial investment cost

For a long-term equity investment acquired through business combination involving enterprisesunder common control, share of carrying amount of owners' equity of the acquiree in theconsolidated financial statements of ultimate controlling party is recognized as initial investmentcost of long-term equity investment at the date of combination. The difference between initialinvestment cost of long-term equity investment and cash paid, non-cash assets transferred andcarrying amount of liabilities assumed, is adjusted in capital reserve. If the balance of capital reserveis not sufficient to absorb the difference, any excess is adjusted to retained earnings. If theconsideration of the combination is satisfied by the issue of equity securities, the initial investmentcost of the long-term equity investment is the share of carrying amount of owners' equity of theacquiree in the consolidated financial statements of ultimate controlling party at the date ofcombination. The aggregate face value of the shares issued is accounted for as share capital. Thedifference between the initial investment cost and the aggregate face value of the shares issued isadjusted 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 instages through multiple transactions ultimately constituting a business combination involvingenterprises under common control, the acquirer shall determine if these transactions are consideredto be a "package deal". If yes, these transactions are accounted for as a single transaction wherecontrol is obtained. If no, the initial investment cost of the long-term equity investment is the shareof carrying amount of owners' equity of the acquiree in the consolidated financial statements ofultimate controlling party at the date of combination. The difference between the initial investmentcost and the sum of carrying amount of equity investments previously held in the acquiree and thenew investment cost is adjusted to capital reserve. If the balance of capital reserve is not sufficientto absorb the difference, any excess is adjusted to retained earnings. Other comprehensive incomerecognized for the previously held equity investments by accounting treatment of equity method ornon-trading equity instrument investments designated as at FVTOCI is not subject to accountingtreatment temporarily.

15.2 Determination of initial investment cost - continued

For a long-term equity investment acquired through business combination not involving enterprisesunder common control, the investment cost of the long-term equity investment acquired is the costof acquisition.

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

The long-term equity investment acquired otherwise than through a business combination is initiallymeasured at its cost. When the entity is able to exercise significant influence or joint control (butnot control) over an investee due to additional investment, the cost of long-term equity investmentsis the sum of the fair value of previously-held equity investments determined in accordance withAccounting Standards for Business Enterprises No.22 - Financial Instruments: Recognition andMeasurement (ASBE No. 22) and the additional investment cost.

15.3 Subsequent measurement and recognition of profit or loss

15.3.1 Long-term equity investments accounted for using the cost method

Long-term equity investments in subsidiaries are accounted for using the cost method in theCompany'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. Whenadditional investment is made or the investment is recouped, the cost of the long-term equityinvestment is adjusted accordingly. Investment income is recognized in the period in accordancewith the attributable share of cash dividends or profit distributions declared by the investee.

15.3.2 Long-term equity investments accounted for using the equity method

Except for investments in associates and joint ventures classified as held-for-sale partly or wholly,the Group accounts for investment in associates and joint ventures using the equity method. Anassociate is an entity over which the Group has significant influence and a joint venture is a jointarrangement whereby the Group only has rights to the net assets of the arrangement.

Under the equity method, where the initial investment cost of a long-term equity investment exceedsthe 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 thanthe 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 equityinvestment is adjusted accordingly.

Under the equity method, the Group recognizes its share of the net profit or loss and othercomprehensive income of the investee for the period as investment income and othercomprehensive income for the period. Meanwhile, the carrying amount of long-term equityinvestment is adjusted; the carrying amount of long-term equity investment is decreased inaccordance with its share of the investee's declared profit or cash dividends; other changes inowners' equity of the investee other than net profit or loss and other comprehensive income arecorrespondingly adjusted to the carrying amount of the long-term equity investment, and recognizedin capital reserve. The Group recognizes its share of the investee's net profit or loss based on thefair value of the investee's individual identifiable assets, etc. at the acquisition date after makingappropriate adjustments. When the investee's accounting policies and accounting period areinconsistent with those of the Group, the Group recognizes investment income and othercomprehensive income after making appropriate adjustments to conform to the Group's accountingpolicies and accounting period. However, unrealized gains or losses resulting from the Group'stransactions with its associates and joint ventures, which do not constitute a business, are eliminatedbased on the proportion attributable to the Group and then investment gains or losses are recognized.However, unrealized losses resulting from the Group's transactions with its associates and jointventures which represent impairment losses on the transferred assets are not eliminated.

The Group discontinues recognizing its share of net losses of the investee after the carrying amountof the long-term equity investment together with any long-term interests that in substance form partof its net investment in the investee are reduced to zero. In addition, if the Group has incurredobligations to assume additional losses, a provision is recognized according to the obligationexpected, and recorded in the investment loss for the period. Where net profits are subsequentlymade by the investee, the Group resumes recognizing its share of those profits only after its shareof the profits exceeds the share of losses previously not recognized.

15.4 Disposal of long-term equity investments

On disposal of a long-term equity investment, the difference between the proceeds actually receivedand receivable and the carrying amount is recognized in profit or loss for the period. For long-termequity investments accounted for using the equity method, if the remaining interest after disposalis still accounted for using the equity method, other comprehensive income previously recognizedusing the equity method is accounted for on the same basis as would have been required if theinvestee had directly disposed of related assets or liabilities, and transferred to profit or loss for theperiod on a pro rata basis; owners' equity recognized due to other changes in owners' equity of theinvestee (other than net profit or loss, other comprehensive income and profit distribution) istransferred to profit or loss for the period on a pro rata basis. For long-term equity investmentsaccounted for using the cost method, if the remaining interest after disposal is still accounted forusing the cost method, other comprehensive income previously recognized using the equity methodor in accordance with the standards for the recognition and measurement of financial instrumentsbefore obtaining the control over the investee, is accounted for on the same basis as would havebeen required if the investee had directly disposed of related assets or liabilities, and transferred toprofit or loss for the period on a pro rata basis; other changes in owners' equity in the investee's netassets recognized under the equity method (other than net profit or loss, other comprehensiveincome and profit distribution) is transferred to profit or loss for the period on a pro rata basis.

Where the Group loses control over the investee due to disposal of part of shares, and in preparingthe separate financial statements, remaining shares after disposal can have joint control orsignificant influence over the investee, the equity method shall be adopted to adjust the remainingshares as they are accounted for under equity method since the acquisition date. If remaining sharesafter disposal cannot have joint control or significant influence over the investee, they are accountedfor in accordance with the standards for recognition and measurement of financial instruments, andthe difference between fair value on date of losing control and carrying amount is recognized inprofit or loss for the period. Other comprehensive income recognized using the equity method or inaccordance with the standards for the recognition and measurement of financial instruments beforelosing control over the investee, is accounted for on the same basis as would have been required ifthe investee had directly disposed of related assets or liabilities when the control over the investeeis lost; other changes in owners' equity in the investee's net assets recognized under the equitymethod (other than net profit or loss, other comprehensive income and profit distribution) istransferred to profit or loss for the period on a pro rata basis. Where remaining shares after disposalare accounted for under equity method, other comprehensive income and other owners' equity aretransferred on a pro rata basis. Where remaining shares after disposal are accounted for inaccordance with the standards for recognition and measurement of financial instruments, othercomprehensive income and other owners' equity are all transferred.

Other comprehensive income previously recognized under the equity method,is accounted for on the same basis as would have been required if the investee had directly disposedof related assets or liabilities when the equity method is not adopted, and other changes in owners'equity other than net profit or loss, other comprehensive income and profit distribution aretransferred to investment income for the period when the equity method is not adopted.

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

16. Investment properties

Investment property is the property held by the Group to earn rentals or for capital appreciation orboth. It includes a land use right that is leased out and a building that is leased out.

An investment property is measured initially at cost. Subsequent expenditures incurred for suchinvestment property are included in the cost of the investment property if it is probable thateconomic benefits associated with the investment property will flow to the Group and thesubsequent expenditures can be measured reliably. Other subsequent expenditures are recognizedin profit or loss for the period in which they are incurred.

The Group uses the cost model for subsequent measurement of investment property, and theinvestment properties are depreciated over their useful lives using the straight-line method. Thedepreciation life, estimated residual value rate and annual depreciation rate of each category ofinvestment properties are as follows:

An investment property is derecognized upon disposal or when the investment property ispermanently withdrawn from use and no future economic benefits are expected from the disposal.

When an investment property is sold, transferred, retired or damaged, the Group recognizes theamount of any proceeds on disposal net of the carrying amount and related taxes in profit or lossfor the period.

17. Fixed assets and depreciation

Fixed assets are tangible assets that are held for use in the production or supply of goods or services,for rental to others, or for administrative purposes, and have useful lives of more than oneaccounting year. A fixed asset is recognized only when it is probable that economic benefitsassociated with the asset will flow to the Group and the cost of the asset can be measured reliably.Fixed assets are initially measured at cost. Upon being restructured into a stock company, the fixedassets initially contributed by the state-owned shareholders are recognized based on the valuationamounts confirmed by the state-owned assets administration department.

Subsequent expenditures incurred for the fixed asset are included in the cost of the fixed asset if itis probable that economic benefits associated with the asset will flow to the Group and thesubsequent expenditures can be measured reliably. Meanwhile the carrying amount of the replacedpart is derecognized. Other subsequent expenditures are recognized in profit or loss for the periodin which they are incurred.

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

Estimated net residual value of a fixed asset is the estimated amount that the Group would currentlyobtain from disposal of the asset, after deducting the estimated costs of disposal, if the asset werealready of the age and in the condition expected at the end of its useful life.

If a fixed asset is upon disposal or no future economic benefits are expected to be generated fromits use or disposal, the fixed asset is derecognized. When a fixed asset is sold, transferred, retiredor damaged, the amount of any proceeds on disposal of the asset net of the carrying amount andrelated taxes is recognized in profit or loss for the period.

The Group reviews the useful life and estimated net residual value of a fixed asset and thedepreciation method applied at least once at each financial year-end, and accounts for any changeas a change in accounting estimates.

18. Construction in progress

Construction in progress is measured at its actual costs. The actual costs include variousconstruction expenditures during the construction period, borrowing costs capitalized before it isready for intended use and other relevant costs. Construction in progress is not depreciated.

Construction in progress is accounted for by categories of projects initiated, and is transferred to afixed asset when it is ready for intended use. The criteria for judging the intended use shall be oneof the following:

(1) The physical construction (including installation) of fixed assets has been fully or

substantially completed;

(2) The trial production or trial operation has been carried out and the results of which indicate

that the asset is capable of normal operation or producing qualified products on a stablebasis, or the results of which indicate that it is capable of normal functioning or operation;

(3) The fixed assets and intangible assets acquired and constructed have met the design or

contractual requirements or are basically in compliance with the design or contractualrequirements.

19. Borrowing costs

Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of qualifyingasset are capitalized when expenditures for such asset and borrowing costs are incurred andactivities relating to the acquisition, construction or production of the asset that are necessary toprepare the asset for its intended use or sale have commenced. Capitalization of borrowing costsceases when the qualifying asset being acquired, constructed or produced becomes ready for itsintended use or sale. Capitalization of borrowing costs is suspended during periods in which theacquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset is interrupted abnormally and when theinterruption is for a continuous period of more than 3 months. Capitalization is suspended until theacquisition, construction or production of the asset is resumed. Other borrowing costs arerecognized as an expense in the period in which they are incurred.

Where funds are borrowed under a specific-purpose borrowing, the amount of interest to becapitalized is the actual interest expense incurred on that borrowing for the period less any bankinterest earned from depositing the borrowed funds before being used on the asset or any investmentincome 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 suchborrowings by applying a capitalization rate to the weighted average of the excess of cumulativeexpenditures on the asset over the amounts of specific-purpose borrowings. The capitalization rateis the weighted average of the interest rates applicable to the general-purpose borrowings. Duringthe capitalization period, exchange differences related to a specific-purpose borrowing denominatedin foreign currency are all capitalized. Exchange differences in connection with general-purposeborrowings are recognized in profit or loss for the period in which they are incurred.

20. Intangible assets

20.1 Useful life and the basis for determination, estimates, amortization method or review

procedures

Intangible assets include land use rights, terminal operating rights and others.

An intangible asset is measured initially at cost. Upon being restructured into a stock company, theintangible assets initially contributed by the state-owned shareholders are recognized based on thevaluation amounts confirmed by the state-owned assets administration department. Except forterminal operating rights, when an intangible asset with a finite useful life is available for use, itsoriginal cost is amortized over its estimated useful life. The terminal operating rights under theoutput method are amortized over periods according to the ratio of the estimated minimumguaranteed throughput to the estimated minimum guaranteed total throughput during the operationperiod. When the estimated minimum guaranteed throughput cannot be measured reliably, thestraight-line method will be used for amortization. An intangible asset with indefinite useful lifewill not be amortized.

The amortization method, useful life and estimated net residual value rate of each category ofintangible assets are as follows:

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

20.2 Scope of R&D expenditure and method for accounting treatment

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

Expenditure during the development phase that meets all of the following conditions at the sametime is recognized as intangible asset. Expenditure during development phase that does not meetthe following conditions is recognized in profit or loss for the period:

(1) it is technically feasible to complete the intangible asset so that it will be available for use

or sale.

(2) the Group has the intention to complete the intangible asset and use or sell it.

(3) the Group can demonstrate the ways in which the intangible asset will generate economic

benefits, including the evidence of the existence of a market for the output of the intangibleasset or the intangible asset itself or, if it is to be used internally, the usefulness of theintangible 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, theGroup recognizes all of them in profit or loss for the year. The costs of intangible assets generatedby the internal research only include the total expenditure incurred for the period from the timepoint of capitalization to the time point when the intangible assets are ready for intended use. Forthe identical intangible asset, the expenditures recorded as expenses before they qualify forcapitalization during the development process are not adjusted.

The Group classifies the expenditures on an internal research and development project intoexpenditures in the research phase and expenditures in the development phase. The scope of R&Dexpenditures refer to those directly related to the R&D activities, including wages, salaries, andwelfare expenses of personnel directly engaged in R&D activities, materials directly consumed inR&D activities, depreciation expenses for instruments and equipment used in R&D activities, travel,transportation, and communication expenses required for research and experimental development,etc. Technical feasibility and economic viability studies are adopted as specific criteria forclassifying the research and development phases once such studies have been evaluated andapproved.

21. Impairment of long-term assets

The Group assesses at the balance sheet date whether there is any indication that long-term equityinvestments, investment properties measured at cost model, fixed assets, construction in progress,right-of-use assets, intangible assets with a finite useful life and assets related to contract costs maybe impaired. If there is any indication that such assets may be impaired, recoverable amounts areestimated for such assets. Intangible assets with indefinite useful life and intangible assets not yetavailable for use are tested for impairment annually, irrespective of whether there is any indicationthat the assets may be impaired.

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

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

Goodwill is tested for impairment at least at the end of each year. For the purpose of impairmenttesting, goodwill is considered together with the related assets group(s) or portfolio of assetsgroup(s), i.e., goodwill is reasonably allocated to the related assets group(s) or portfolio of assetsgroup(s) expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination. An impairment loss isrecognised if the recoverable amount of the assets group(s) or portfolio of assets group(s) (includinggoodwill) is less than its carrying amount. The impairment loss is firstly allocated to reduce thecarrying amount of any goodwill allocated to such assets group(s) or portfolio of assets group(s),and then to the other assets of the group pro-rata on the basis of the carrying amount of each asset(other than goodwill) in the group.

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

22. Long-term prepaid expenses

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

23. Contract liabilities

Contract liabilities refer to the Group's obligation to transfer goods or services to a customer forconsideration received or receivable from the customer. The contract assets and contract liabilitiesunder the same contract are presented on a net basis.

Staff welfare expenses incurred by the Group arerecognized in profit or loss for the period or the costs of relevant assets based on the actuallyoccurred amounts when they actually occurred. Non-monetary staff welfare expenses are measuredat fair value.

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

24.2 Post-employment benefits

Post-employment benefits refer to the rewards and benefits of various forms provided by the Groupafter the employees have retired or terminated the labor relationship with the enterprise for theservices rendered by the employees, except the short-term benefits and the termination benefits.The post-employment benefits consist of the pension insurance, the annuity, the unemploymentinsurance and other post-employment benefits.

Post-employment benefit plans are classified by the Group into defined contribution plans anddefined benefit plans. The post-employment benefit plan refers to the agreements the Group enteredinto with the employees on the post-employment benefits or the regulations or measures establishedby the Group for provisions of the post-employee benefits, among which the defined contributionplans refer to the post-employment benefit plan under which the Group shall no longer undertakeany obligations of payments after paying fixed expenses to independent funds; the defined benefitplans refer to the post-employment benefit plans other than the defined contribution plans. Duringthe accounting period in which employees render services to the Group, the amounts payablecalculated based on the defined contribution plans are recognized as liabilities and included in profitor loss for the period or costs of related assets.

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

? Service cost (including current service cost, past service cost, as well as gains and losses onsettlements);? Net interest of net liabilities or assets of defined benefit plans (including interest income ofplanned assets, interest expenses of defined benefit plan liabilities and effect of asset ceiling);and? Changes arising from remeasurement of net liabilities or net assets of defined benefit plans.

Service costs and net interest of net liabilities and net assets of defined benefit plans are recognizedin profit or loss for the period or costs of related assets. Remeasurement of the net defined benefitliabilities (assets) (including actuarial gains and losses, the return on planned assets, excludingamounts included in net interest on net defined benefit liabilities (assets), and any changes in theeffect of the asset ceiling, excluding amounts included in net interest on net defined benefitliabilities (assets)) are recognized in other comprehensive income.

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

24.3 Termination benefits

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

24.4 Other long-term employee benefits

Other long-term employee benefits refer to all employee benefits except for short-term benefits,post-employment benefits, and termination benefits.

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

The Group provides internal retirement benefits to employees accepting the internal retirementarrangements. Internal retirement benefits refer to the payments of salaries and social securitycontributions for employees who reach the retirement age regulated by the country and are approvedto quit the job voluntarily. For internal retirement benefits, the internal retirement benefits the Groupis expected to pay during the period from the date when employees stop providing services to thedate of normal retirement are recognized as liabilities at the present value and included in profit orloss for the period when relevant recognition requirements of the internal retirement benefits aremet.

25. Provisions

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

The amount recognized as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle thepresent obligation at the balance sheet date, taking into account factors pertaining to a contingencysuch as the risks, uncertainties and time value of money. Where the effect of the time value of moneyis material, the amount of the provision is determined by discounting the related future cashoutflows.

Where all or some of the expenditure required to settle a provision is expected to be reimbursed bya third party, the reimbursement is recognized as a separate asset only when it is virtually certainthat reimbursement will be received, and the amount of reimbursement recognized does not exceedthe carrying amount of the provision.

A share-based payment is a transaction which the Group grants equity instruments, in return forservices rendered by employees or other parties. The Group's share-based payments include equity-settled share-based payments.

Equity-settled share-based payments in exchange for services rendered by employees are measuredat fair value of the equity instruments granted to employees at the grant date. Such amount isrecognized as related costs or expenses on a straight-line basis over the vesting period, based on thebest estimate of the number of equity instruments expected to vest/ as related costs or expenses atthe grant date, if the equity instruments could be vested immediately, with a corresponding increasein capital reserve.

27. Preferred stock, perpetual bonds and other financial instruments

The consideration received by the Group for the issuance of equity instruments is included inshareholders' equity after deducting transaction costs. Repurchase the consideration and transactioncosts paid by the Group's equity instruments to reduce shareholders' equity.

The Group classifies financial instruments, or their components, as financial liabilities or equityinstruments at initial recognition based on the contractual terms of the issued perpetual bonds andtheir reflected economic substance, combined with the definitions of financial liabilities and equityinstruments.

For financial instruments such as perpetual bonds classified as equity instruments, interest expenseor dividend (dividend) distributions are treated as profit distributions of the Group, and theirrepurchases, write-offs, etc., are treated as changes in equity, and related transaction costs arededucted from equity.

28. Revenue recognition

28.1 Disclosure of accounting policies adopted for revenue recognition and measurement by type

of business

The Group's revenue is mainly from port business, bonded logistics business and other businesses.

The Group recognizes revenue based on the transaction price allocated to the performanceobligation when the Group satisfies a performance obligation in the contract, namely, when thecustomer obtains control over relevant goods or services. A performance obligation is acommitment that the Group transfers a distinct goods or service to a customer in the contract.

28.1 Disclosure of accounting policies adopted for revenue recognition and measurement by type

of business - continued

The Group evaluates the contract on the contract start date, identifies each individual performanceobligation contained in the contract, and determines whether each individual performanceobligation is satisfied during a period of time or at a point in time. It is a performance obligationsatisfied during a period of time and the Group recognizes revenue during a period of time accordingto the progress of performance if one of the following conditions is met: (i) the customer obtainsand consumes economic benefits at the same time of the Group's performance; (ii) the customer isable to control goods or services in progress during the Group's performance; (iii) goods or servicesgenerated during the Group's performance have irreplaceable utilization, and the Group is entitledto collect amounts of cumulative performance part which have been done up to now. Otherwise,revenue is recognized at a point in time when the customer obtains control over the relevant goodsor services.

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

The transaction price is the amount of consideration to which the Group expects to be entitled inexchange for transferring promised goods or services to a customer, excluding amounts collectedon behalf of third parties and amounts expected to be refunded to a customer. In determining thetransaction price, the Group should consider the effects of variable consideration, significantfinancing components in the contract, non-cash consideration and consideration payable tocustomers.

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

In case of the existence of variable consideration (such as sales discount) in the contract, the Groupshall determine the best estimate of variable consideration based on the expected value or the mostprobably occurred amount. The transaction price including variable consideration shall not exceedthe amount of the cumulatively recognized revenue which is unlikely to be significantly reversed

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

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

The Group assesses whether it controls each specified goods or service before that goods or serviceis transferred to the customer to determine whether the Group is a principal or an agent. If the Groupcontrols the specified good or service before that good or service is transferred to a customer, theGroup is a principal and recognizes revenue in the gross amount of consideration received orreceivable. Otherwise, the Group is an agent and recognizes revenue in the amount of any fee orcommission to which it expects to be entitled. The fee or commission is the net amount ofconsideration that the Group retains after paying the other party the consideration received inexchange for the goods or services to be provided by that party, or is determined in accordance withthe established commission amount or percentage, etc.

Where the Group receives receipts in advance from a customer for sales of goods or rendering ofservices, the amount is first recognized as a liability and then transferred to revenue when the relatedperformance obligation has been satisfied. When the Group's receipts in advance are not requiredto be refunded and it is probable that the customer will waive all or part of its contractual rights, theGroup recognizes the said amounts as revenue on a pro-rata basis in accordance with the pattern ofexercise of the customer's contractual rights, if the Group expects to be entitled to the amountsrelating to the contractual rights waived by the customer; otherwise, the Group reverses the relatedbalance of the said liabilities to revenue only when it is highly unlikely that the customer will requireperformance of the remaining performance obligations.

For port business, the revenue from the handling of containers and bulk cargos is recognized overtime based on the progress of completed services, and the revenue from the storage of containersand bulk cargos is recognized on a straight-line basis over the period of storage.

For bonded logistics business, the revenue is recognized based on the progress of services rendered,where the progress of completed services is determined based on the proportion of days on servicesprovided to the estimated total number of service days. As at the balance sheet date, the Group hasre-estimated the progress of completed bonded logistics service so that it reflects the changes inperformance status.

28.2 Similar operations under different business models which involve different revenue

recognition and measurement methods

The Group has no similar operations under different business models which involve differentrevenue recognition and measurement methods.

29. Contract costs

29.1 Costs of obtaining a contract

For the incremental cost of obtaining the contract (cost that will not occur if the contract is notobtained) that is expected to be recoverable, it is recognized as an asset. If the amortization periodof such asset is less than one year, it is recognized in profit or loss for the period when incurred.Other expenses incurred for obtaining the contract is included in profit or loss for the period whenincurred, except for those explicitly assumed by the customer.

29.2 Costs to fulfil a contract

If the costs incurred in fulfilling a contract are not within the scope of any standards other thanRevenue Standards, the Group recognizes an asset only if those costs meet all of the followingcriteria: (1) the costs relate directly to a contract or to an anticipated contract that the Group canspecifically identify; (2) the costs enhance resources of the Group that will be used in satisfyingperformance obligations in the future; and (3) the costs are expected to be recovered. The assetmentioned above shall be amortized on a basis that is consistent with the revenue recognition of thegoods or services to which the asset relates and recognized in profit or loss for the period.

29.3 Impairment loss of assets related to contract costs

In determining the impairment losses of assets related to contract costs, the Group first determinesthe impairment losses of other assets related to contracts recognized in accordance with other ASBE;then, for assets related to contract costs, if the carrying amount of the assets is higher than thedifference between: (1) the remaining consideration that the Group expects to obtain for the transferof the goods or services related to the assets; and (2) the estimated costs to be incurred for thetransfer of the related goods or services, any excess is provided for impairment and recognized asimpairment loss of assets.

After the provision for impairment of assets related to contract costs is made, if the factors ofimpairment in previous periods change so that the difference between the above two is higher thanthe carrying amount of the assets, the original provision for impairment of the assets is reversed andrecognized in profit or loss for the period, provided that the carrying amount of the assets after thereversal does not exceed the carrying amount of the assets at the date of reversal assuming noprovision for impairment was made.

30. Government grants

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

If a government grant is in the form of a transfer of a monetary asset, it is measured at the amountreceived or receivable. If a government grant is in the form of a non-monetary asset, it is measuredat fair value. If the fair value cannot be reliably determined, it is measured at a nominal amount. Agovernment grant measured at a nominal amount is recognized immediately in profit or loss for theperiod.

30.1 Determination basis and accounting treatment of government grant related to assets

Government grants of the Group mainly include grants for intelligent system, etc., and thesegovernment grants relate to assets as they will form long-term assets.

A government grant related to an asset is recognized as deferred income, and evenly amortized toprofit or loss over the useful life of the related asset.

At the balance sheet date, current income tax liabilities (or assets) for the current and prior periodsare measured at the amount expected to be paid (or recovered) according to the requirements of taxlaws.

31.2 Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities

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

Deferred tax are generally recognized for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax assets fordeductible temporary differences are recognized to the extent that it is probable that taxable profitswill be available against which the deductible temporary differences can be utilized. However, fortemporary differences associated with the initial recognition of goodwill and the initial recognitionof an asset or liability arising from a transaction, which is not a business combination that affectsneither the accounting profit nor taxable profits (or deductible losses) and will not result in taxabletemporary differences and deductible temporary differences in equivalent amounts at the time oftransaction, no deferred tax asset or liability is recognized.

Deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences associated withinvestments in subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures, except where the Group is able to controlthe timing of the reversal of the temporary differences and it is probable that the temporarydifferences will not be reversed in the foreseeable future. Deferred tax assets arising fromdeductible temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates and jointventures are recognized to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be availableagainst which the deductible temporary differences can be utilized and they are expected to bereversed in the foreseeable future.

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

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

At the balance sheet date, the carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed and reduced if itis no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available in the future to allow the benefitof deferred tax assets to be utilized. Any such reduction in amount is reversed when it becomesprobable that sufficient taxable profits will be available.

31.3 Income tax offsetting

When the Group has a legal right to settle on a net basis and intends either to settle on a net basisor to realize the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously, current tax assets and current taxliabilities are offset and presented on a net basis.

32. Leases

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

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

32.1 The Group as lessee

32.1.1 Separating components of a lease

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

32.1.2 Right-of-use assets

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

? the amount of the initial measurement of the lease liabilities.? any lease payments made at or before the commencement date, less any lease incentives.? any initial direct costs incurred by the Group.? an estimate of costs to be incurred by the Group in dismantling and removing the underlyingasset, restoring the site on which it is located or restoring the underlying asset to the conditionrequired by the terms and conditions of the lease.

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

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

32.1.3 Lease liabilities

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

The lease payments comprise the following payments by the Group for the right to use theunderlying asset during the lease term:

? fixed payments (including in-substance fixed payments), less any lease incentives.? variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate.? the exercise price of a purchase option if the Group is reasonably certain to exercise thatoption.? payments for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects the Group exercising an optionto terminate the lease.? amounts expected to be payable by the Group under residual value guarantees.

Variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, are initially measured using the indexor rate as at the commencement date. Variable lease payments not included in the measurement ofthe lease liabilities, are recognized in profit or loss, or in the cost of relevant assets, in the periodof those payments.

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

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

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

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

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

32.1.5 Lease modifications

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

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

underlying assets.? the consideration for the lease increases by an amount commensurate with the stand-aloneprice for the increase in scope and any appropriate adjustments to that stand-alone priceaccording to the circumstances of the particular contract.

For a lease medication that is not accounted for as a separate lease, at the effective date of the leasemodification, the Group should allocate the consideration in the modified contract, determine thelease term of the modified lease and remeasure the lease liabilities based on the present value of thechanged lease payments and the revised discount rate.

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

32.2 The Group as lessor

32.2.1 Separating components of a lease

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

32.2.2 Classification of leases

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

32.2.2.1 The Group as lessor under operating leases

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

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

The net lease investment isthe sum of any unguaranteed residual value and the present value of the lease receipts over the leaseterm discounted at the interest rate implicit in lease.

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

? fixed payments (including in-substance fixed payments) paid by the lessee, less any leaseincentives.? variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate.? the exercise price of a purchase option, provided that it is reasonably determined that the

lessee will exercise the option.? payments for terminating the lease, provided that the lease term reflects that the lessee will

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

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

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

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

32.2.3 Subleases

As the lessor of a sublease, the Group accounts for the original lease contract and the subleasecontract on a separate basis. The Group classifies the subleases based on the right-of-use assetsgenerating from the original lease rather than the underlying assets of the original lease.

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

? the modification increases the scope of the lease by adding the right to use one or moreunderlying assets; and? the consideration for the lease increases by an amount commensurate with the stand-aloneprice for the increase in scope with any appropriate adjustment to that stand-alone price.

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

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

effective at the commencement date, the Group should account for the lease modification asa new lease from the effective date of the modification, and measure the carrying amount ofthe underlying assets at the amount equal to the net lease investment before the effective dateof the modification;? If the lease would have been classified as a finance lease had the modification been effective

at the commencement date, the Group should account for it in accordance with the provisionson contract modification and renegotiation under Accounting Standards for BusinessEnterprises No. 22 - Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement.

32.2.5 Sale and leaseback transactions

The Group as the buyer-lessor

33. Exchange of non-monetary assets

When the non-monetary assets are of commercial substance and the fair value of assets received orthe assets given up can be measured reliably, the non-monetary transactions are measured at fairvalue. For the asset received, the fair value of the asset given up and related taxes payable arerecognized as the cost at initial recognition; For the asset given up, at derecognition, the differencebetween the fair value and the carrying amount is recognized in profit or loss for the current period.When there is clear evidence indicating that the fair value of the received asset is more reliable, forthe asset received, the fair value of the asset received and related taxes payable are recognized asthe cost at initial recognition; For the asset given up, at derecognition, the difference between thefair value of the asset received and the carrying amount of the asset given up is recognized in profitor loss for the current period.

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

34. Safety production cost

According to the Administrative Measures for the Collection and Utilization of Enterprise WorkSafety Funds (Cai Zi [2022] No. 136) jointly issued by the Ministry of Finance and the EmergencyDepartment on 13 December 2022, safety production cost set aside by the Group is directly includedin the cost of relevant products or recognized in profit or loss for the period, and transferred tospecial reserve simultaneously. When safety production cost set aside is utilized, if the costsincurred can be categorized as expenditure, the costs incurred should be charged against the specialreserve. If the costs set aside are used to build up fixed assets, the costs should be charged toconstruction in progress, and reclassified to fixed assets when the safety projects are ready forintended use. Meantime, expenditures in building up fixed assets are directly charged against thespecial reserve with the accumulated depreciation recognized at the same amount. Depreciation willnot be made in the future period on such fixed assets.

(V) CRITICAL JUDGMENTS IN APPLYING ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND KEY

ASSUMPTIONS AND UNCERTAINTIES IN ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES

In the application of accounting policies and accounting estimates as set out in Note (IV), the Groupis required to make judgments, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amounts of items inthe financial statements that cannot be measured accurately, due to the internal uncertainty of theoperating activities. These judgments, estimates and assumptions are based on historical experienceof the Group's management as well as other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual resultsmay differ from these estimates.

(V) CRITICAL JUDGMENTS IN APPLYING ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND KEY

ASSUMPTIONS AND UNCERTAINTIES IN ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES - continued

The Group regularly reviews the judgments, estimates and assumptions on a going concern basis.Changes in accounting estimates which only affect the current period should be recognized in thecurrent period; changes which not only affect the current but the future periods should be recognizedin the current and future periods. At the balance sheet date, key assumptions and uncertainties incritical judgments and accounting estimates that are likely to lead to significant adjustments to thecarrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the future are as follows:

Goodwill impairment

For the purpose of impairment testing, the present value of the expected future cash flows of theassets group or portfolio including goodwill shall be calculated, and such expected future cash flowsshall be estimated. Meantime, a rate shall be determined that should reflect the time value of moneyon the current market and the specific interest risks.

Recognition of deferred income tax

The Group calculates and makes provision for deferred tax liabilities according to the profitdistribution plans of subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures and relevant provisions of tax law.For retained earnings of the investee which are not expected to be distributed, since the profits willbe used for the daily operation and future development of the investee, no deferred tax liabilitiesare recognized. If the profits to be actually distributed in future years are more or less than thoseexpected, corresponding deferred tax liabilities will be recognized or reversed in profit or loss forthe period at the earlier of the date on which the profit distribution plan is changed and the date onwhich the profit distribution is declared.

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

Estimated useful lives and residual value of fixed assets and intangible assets

The Group assesses the estimated useful lives and residual value of fixed assets and intangible assets.Such estimate is made by reference to the historical experience of actual useful lives and residualvalue of fixed assets and intangible assets of similar nature and function, and is subject to significantchanges due to technical innovation and fierce industry competition. Where the estimated usefullives and residual value of fixed assets and intangible assets are less than the previous estimates,the Group will increase the depreciation and amortization, or write off or eliminate the technicallyobsolete fixed assets or intangible assets.

The Ministry of Finance issued the Interpretation No. 17 of the Accounting Standards for BusinessEnterprises (the "Interpretation No.17) on 25 October 2023, which clarifies the provisions on "thedivision of current liabilities and non-current liabilities".

According to the Interpretation No. 17, when the Group classifies the liquidity of liabilities, it onlyconsiders whether the Group has the substantive right to postpone the settlement of liabilities tomore than one year after the balance sheet date (hereinafter referred to as "the right to postpone thesettlement of liabilities"), without considering whether the Group has the subjective possibility ofexercising the above rights.

For the liabilities arising from the Group's loan arrangements, if the right of the Group to postponethe repayment of the liabilities depends on whether the Group has complied with the conditionsspecified in the loan arrangements (hereinafter referred to as "contractual conditions"), the Grouponly considers the contractual conditions that should be complied with on or before the balancesheet date when dividing the liquidity of the relevant liabilities, without considering the impact ofcontractual conditions that should be complied with by the Group after the balance sheet date.

If the Group classifies the above options as equity instruments and recognizes them separately asequity components of composite financial instruments in accordance with the Accounting Standardsfor Business Enterprises No. 37- Disclosure of financial instruments, the liquidity division of theliabilities that the Group pays off by delivering its own equity instruments at the option of thecounterparty will not be affected; On the contrary, if the above options cannot be classified as equityinstruments, it will affect the liquidity classification of the liabilities.

The adoption of this provision has not had a significant impact on the Group's financial position andoperating results.
