Independent Review Report
REPORT ON REVIEW OF INTERIM FINANCIAL INFORMATION
TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF XIAMEN INTERNATIONAL PORT CO., LTD (Incorporated in the People's Republic of China with limited liability)
Introduction
We have reviewed the interim financial information set out on pages 5 to 40, which comprises the condensed consolidated balance sheet of Xiamen International Port Co., Ltd (the "Company") and its subsidiaries (together, the "Group") as at 30 June 2020 and the condensed consolidated income statement, the condensed consolidated statement of comprehensive income, the condensed consolidated statement of changes in equity and the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows for the six-month period then ended, and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory notes. The Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited require the preparation of a report on interim financial information to be in compliance with the relevant provisions thereof and Hong Kong Accounting Standard 34 ("HKAS 34") "Interim Financial Reporting" issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants (the "HKICPA"). The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation and presentation of this interim financial information in accordance with HKAS 34. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this interim financial information based on our review and to report our conclusion solely to you, as a body, in accordance with our agreed terms of engagement and for no other purpose. We do not assume responsibility towards or accept liability to any other person for the contents of this report.
Scope of review
We conducted our review in accordance with Hong Kong Standard on Review Engagements 2410 "Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity" issued by the HKICPA. A review of interim financial information consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Hong Kong Standards on Auditing and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
Conclusion
Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the interim financial information of the Group is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with HKAS 34 "Interim Financial Reporting".

Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements (Continued)
For the six months ended 30 June 2020
4. Estimates
The preparation of interim financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expense. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
In preparing this condensed consolidated interim financial statements, the significant judgements made by management in applying the Group's accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those that applied to the Group's annual financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2019.
5. Financial risk management
-
Financial risk factors
The Group's activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk (including currency risk, interest rate risk and price risk), credit risk and liquidity risk.
These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements do not include all financial risk management information and disclosures required in the annual financial statements, and should be read in conjunction with the Group's annual financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2019.
There have been no changes in the risk management policies since last year end. - Liquidity risk
Cash flow forecasting is performed in the operating entities of the Group. Management monitors rolling forecasts of the Group's liquidity requirements to ensure it has sufficient cash to meet operational needs while maintaining sufficient headroom on its undrawn committed borrowing facilities at all times so that the Group does not breach borrowing limits or covenants (where applicable) on any of its borrowing facilities. Such forecasting takes into consideration the Group's debt financing plans, covenant compliance, compliance with internal balance sheet ratio targets and, if applicable, external regulatory or legal requirements - for example, currency restrictions.
The Group's funding requirements primarily arise from equity investments, purchases of port infrastructure and loading machinery and repayments of bank borrowings. The Group finances its working capital requirements through a combination of funds generated from operations and additional bank borrowings.

Management Discussion and Analysis
OPERATING RESULTS REVIEW
In the first half of 2020, severely affected by the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) epidemic (the "Epidemic"), the world's economy and trade growth slowed down, and the impact of the Sino-US political, economic and trade frictions continued to emerge. Under the complicated internal and external situation, China has effectively fought and overcome the adverse effects of the Epidemic, and its economic growth still maintained a development trend of overall stability and steady progress. China's gross domestic product ("GDP") in the first half of the year fell by 1.6% year-on-year; the total value of imports and exports of China recorded a year-on-year decrease of 3.2%; but the economic growth in the second quarter has turned from negative to positive, the decline in trade has narrowed, and the growth of imports and exports in June achieved positive growth for the first time this year. Confronted with the complex and severe domestic and foreign economic and trade environment, the Group actively adopted various measures. On one hand, the Group coordinated the promotion of Epidemic prevention and control and the resumption of work and production. Adhering to the principle of "Forestalling and Stopping Inbound and Intra-city Transmissions, and Domestic Resurgence of Cases", the Group has stepped up efforts to normalize Epidemic prevention and control; made full use of scale advantages, strengthened strategic cooperation with major shipping companies, timely adopted effective marketing strategies, and proactively expanded incremental business of its principal port business, so as to strive to stabilize port production. On the other hand, the Group continued to promote the construction of green and smart ports, improved the business environment and enhanced the port service capabilities. Meanwhile, the Group actively sought support from national finance, taxation and industry policies, deepened the meticulous management, strengthened revenue growth and cost reduction, strictly controlled various operating costs, and strived to promote the stable development of its production and operation.
During the six months ended 30 June 2020, the Group recorded a total revenue of approximately RMB7,455,139,000, representing an increase of approximately 13.6% as compared with approximately RMB6,560,689,000 in the same period of 2019. Profit attributable to the owners of the Company was approximately RMB126,260,000, representing a decrease of approximately 13.9% as compared with approximately RMB146,571,000 in the same period of 2019. Basic and diluted earnings per share attributable to the owners of the Company were approximately RMB4.63 cents (the same period of 2019: approximately RMB5.38 cents). The increase in revenue was mainly due to the increase in revenue from the merchandise trading business of the Group. Profit attributable to the owners of the Company has decreased due to a decrease of approximately 1.3% of the container throughput of the Group and a decrease of approximately 12.4% of the bulk/general cargo throughput of the Group in this period. In addition, the average charging rate slightly decreased.
BUSINESS REVIEW
The Group is principally engaged in the relevant port terminal businesses at 30 self-owned berths and seven leased berths in Dongdu Port Area and Haicang Port Area in Xiamen, three self-owned berths in Quanzhou port (the "Huajin Terminal") and one leased berth in Qingzhou Operating Area in Fuzhou (the "Fuzhou Zhongying Terminal"), including container port operations, bulk/general cargo port operations and port comprehensive logistics services.
In addition, the Group is also engaged in the business of manufacturing, processing and sale of building materials as well as the trading business of merchandise (such as chemical products and steel).

Management Discussion and Analysis (Continued)
In the first half of 2020, affected by the severe impact of the Epidemic on the global economy and trade business, the development of the container business of the Group was fell short of the expectation. The container business in Xiamen region decreased by approximately 2.5% over the same period of 2019, of which, the container throughput of the international trade was approximately 2.649 million TEUs in the first half, representing a slight decrease of approximately 1.3%, which was mainly because the decreases of the Group's local container business of the foreign trade and the internal branch container business during the Reporting Period, but the Group has actively promoted the implementation of the international container transit route stabilization measures and coordinated shipping line layout, which enabled the international container transit business achieving growth against the market trend and effectively offsetting the decrease in container throughput caused by the decline in the local container business of the foreign trade and internal branch container business. The container throughput of the domestic trade was approximately 1.484 million TEUs in the first half, representing a decrease of approximately 4.7%, which was mainly because of the decline of container throughput of the domestic trade of the Group caused by the transition of shipping lines by several domestic trade shipping companies. The Group has taken corresponding measures to introduce other strategic cooperative shipping companies to open new shipping lines at Haixiang Terminal in a timely manner, which has basically compensated the shortage of reduction container throughput caused by the above-mentioned transition of shipping lines. The container business of Fuzhou Zhongying Terminal basically flatted compared to the same period of 2019, which was mainly due to the contribution of the increase in container throughput of its newly expanded domestic trade container routes, which basically offset the decline in the branch business of international trade container. In addition, the container throughput of Quanzhou Huajin Terminal in the first half year achieved a significant increase of approximately 26.4% as compared with the same period of last year, which was mainly due to that it has strengthened strategic cooperation with major domestic shipping companies, promoted the resumption of most container shipping lines, and assisted relevant shipping companies in expanding domestic trade container shipping lines in North China, Shandong and South China.

- Quanzhou Huajin Terminal has been incorporated into the Group at the end of October 2017. Therefore, the relevant operating figures of this terminal were set out herein accordingly.
During the Reporting Period, the Group's bulk/general cargo business affected by the Epidemic and decreased by approximately 12.4% in general as compared with the first half of 2019, of which, the bulk/general cargo business in Xiamen region decreased by approximately 11% as compared with the same period of last year, which was mainly due to: (1) Hailong Terminal took advantage of the state's foreign grain import policy and took the grain import business as a breakthrough, the foreign trade grain business increased by 60% as compared with the same period of last year, and as its rented Haixiang Terminal business was gradually expanded, which made the terminal business increase as compared with the same period of last year; (2) Shihushan Terminal business has been affected by the Epidemic, resulting in suspending work and production of domestic industrial enterprises, the sharp decrease in coal consumption among related industries, as well as the depression in the steel market, the decline in the demand for imported iron from major customers, the competition from surrounding ports and the diversion of cargo sources, which have caused its throughput to drop by approximately 15.5%. Fuzhou Zhongying Terminal has a slight increase in its general cargo business compared with the previous year due to the fact that its coil steel business from major customers has not shut down. The bulk cargo throughput of Quanzhou Huajin Terminal significantly decreased by approximately 30% in the first half of the year due to changes in a variety of the sandstone market, the delay of resumption of work and production by major customers affected by the Epidemic, and the significant decrease in the sand and coal business volume.
Port Comprehensive Logistics Services
Port comprehensive logistics services of the Group mainly include a number of businesses, such as shipping agency, tallying, tugboat-assisted berthing and unberthing, and port-related logistics services. As the Epidemic continues to affect the development of international shipping trade business, these businesses are also being affected accordingly. In the first half year of 2020, although the tugboat-assisted berthing and unberthing business decreased year-on-year, the overall performance was generally in line with expectations, and the Group had good results in the markets outside Xiamen Port. Meanwhile, the relevant enterprises under the Group in Gulei Port Area were promoting the purchase

and construction of two new tugboats to improve the business layout. As for the shipping agency business, some traditional businesses decreased significantly compared to the last year due to insufficient market demand, while it achieved an obvious progress in promoting business process informatization construction such as port logistics settlement. The tallying business continued to promote technology and business process reengineering. Except for the decline in the international trade container business, other major businesses achieved growth. The corporate costs fell sharply and benefits achieved an increase as port-related logistics services benefited from the government's anti-epidemic support policies.
Merchandise Trading Business
In the first half year of 2020, merchandise trading business of the Group closely adhered to the operation philosophy of "Boosting the Port Economy with Trade, Promoting the Trading Business through Port Operation and Integrating the Port and Trading Businesses", and focused on the development of the core products (including coal, steel, chemical materials and paper pulp), which effectively integrated the relevant port business resources of the Group, and promoted the formation of synergy advantages of trade, terminals, and port comprehensive logistics. In the first half, the merchandise trading business basically maintained steady development under the complex market environment. The scale of trade business related to the portside supply chain increased significantly, which effectively brought a considerable supply of goods to the Group and increased the terminal throughput of the Group.

1. The revenue from container loading and unloading and storage business of the Group has decreased significantly for the six months ended 30 June 2020, which mainly due to the worldwide outbreak of the Epidemic from the beginning of 2020, resulting in a drop in the domestic and foreign trade container throughput of the Group.

Management Discussion and Analysis (Continued)
to support and promote the resumption of work and production of the upstream and downstream industrial chain of the port, alleviate the cost pressure faced by the customers, work with customers hand in hand to tide over difficulties and jointly promote the smooth operation of the port supply chain, the Group has taken the initiative to reduce fees to benefit the customers, which partially affects the revenue of container loading and unloading and storage business;
- The revenue of bulk/general cargo loading and unloading business decreased in this period. The drop in revenue was primarily because the factories running below capacity and weakening in demand of electricity due to the Epidemic which led to the decrease of iron ore and coal throughput in Shihushan Terminal in the first half of 2020;
-
The revenue of the comprehensive port logistics services decreased significantly in this period. The
reason is that wastepaper inspection business of Xiamen Port Haicang Container Inspection Service Co., Ltd. (廈門港海滄集裝箱查驗服務有限公司) was affected by environmental protection policy limiting the import of wastepaper; The business volume of Xiamen Port Logistics Co., Ltd. (廈門港務 物流有限公司) dropped to a greater extent due to the Epidemic; - The revenue of manufacturing and sales of building materials business decreased significantly in this period because production volume of powder declined due to supply chain shrinkage and sales volume of concrete declined due to the Epidemic; and
- The revenue of the merchandise trading business significantly increased mainly due to increased demand for some commodities after the resumption of work in the first half of 2020 and the gradually well-developed wood pulp and corn business newly developed in recent years.
Cost of Sales
Cost of sales of the Group increased by approximately 15.9% from approximately RMB5,948,363,000 for the six months ended 30 June 2019 to approximately RMB6,892,026,000 for the six months ended 30 June 2020. The increase of cost of sales mainly consists of the growth of cost of inventories sold.
Group cost of inventories sold increased by approximately 23.2% from approximately RMB4,674,270,000 for the six months ended 30 June 2019 to approximately RMB5,758,027,000 for the six months ended 30 June 2020. The increase was mainly resulted from increase of the Group's merchandise trading business, the market demand of coal, steel and chemical products for domestic trade increased in this period, which led to corresponding increase on cost of inventory cost.
Other (Losses)/Gains - Net
Other (losses)/gains - net of the Group decreased from a gain position with an amount of approximately RMB24,629,000 for the six months ended 30 June 2019 to a loss position with an amount of approximately RMB19,273,000 for the six months ended 30 June 2020. The decrease was mainly due to the net fair value loss on the futures amounted to approximately RMB19,183,000, and a turnaround from a gain of disposal of property, plant and equipment of approximately RMB8,367,000 in 2019 to a loss of
approximately RMB427,000 in 2020. In addition, an investment income of approximately RMB10,313,000 gained from the disposal of Sanming Port Construction Co., Ltd. (三明港務建設有限公司) occurred in

The Group's bank borrowings are denominated in RMB and US dollars. To the extent that RMB appreciates (or depreciates) against US dollars, the value of bank borrowings and repayment cost of such borrowings will decrease (or increase) correspondingly. In addition, since only a minor part of the business revenue of the Group is settled in foreign currencies, the fluctuation in RMB exchange rate has no material impact on the business operations of the Group. The Board believes that the fluctuation in RMB exchange rate had no material impact on the operating results and financial position of the Group as at 30 June 2020. The Group has not used any means to hedge its foreign currency exposure currently, nevertheless, the foreign currency exposure is still monitored by the Board, who will consider hedging any significant foreign currency exposure should the need arise.
EMPLOYEES
As at 30 June 2020, the Group had a total of 7,290 employees, representing a decrease of 79 employees as compared to 31 December 2019. Employees' remuneration package of the Group is determined by their positions, performance, qualifiications and the prevailing industry practices. Employees may be granted with bonus and awards depending on the annual results of operations and the assessment of their performance. In addition, the grant of awards is an impetus to motivate each employee, while the enterprise annuity will enhance the pension insurance treatment of the employees after retirement. Employees are also entitled to public holidays and other holidays as stipulated by the relevant regulations.
