Dubai, United Arab Emirates, 20 March, 2014: Global marine terminal operator DP World today announces strong financial results from its global portfolio of marine terminals for the twelve months to 31 December 2013, delivering profit attributable to owners of the Company before separately disclosed items of $604 million, 26.6% ahead of last year on a like-for-like basis.

DP World Chairman, Sultan Ahmed Bin Sulayem commented;

"DP World is pleased to announce another set of strong financial results, with like-for-like attributable earnings growing by 26.6%. This performance has been achieved despite the Group facing some challenging market conditions, particularly in the first half of the year, and being capacity constrained within a number of our key locations. Overall, we believe this robust set of results illustrates the resilient nature of our portfolio."

"Our portfolio remains well positioned to capitalise on the significant medium to long-term growth potential of this industry due to our continued focus on the faster growing markets and stable origin and destination cargo. This positioning combined with our ability to add new capacity will enable us to deliver both earnings growth and shareholder value over the long term.

"Following the strong financial performance, combined with the realisation of profit from the monetisation of assets during the year, the Board of DP World is recommending a total dividend of $190.9 million, or 23 US cents per share. This comprises a 10% increase in the ordinary dividend. The Board is confident of the Company's ability to continue to generate cash and support our future growth whilst maintaining a consistent dividend payout."

DP World Group Chief Executive, Mohammed Sharaf commented;

"We have reported another set of robust financial results for 2013. We believe like-for-like revenue growth above 3.5%, 9.0% like-for-like EBITDA growth, 26.6% like-for-like EPS growth and a 47.6% like-for-like adjusted EBITDA margin is a resilient performance given some of the challenges that we have faced.

"We remain on track and on budget with respect to our 2012-2014 $3.7 billion capital expenditure programme. During 2013, we opened our new state of the art facility at London Gateway (UK) and Embraport (Brazil), while adding 1 million TEU of much needed new capacity in the UAE. We are encouraged by the performance of our new operations and in 2014 we look forward to adding further capacity at Jebel Ali (UAE) and Rotterdam (Netherlands). The opening of Jebel Ali's Terminal 3 will add another 4 million TEU and take total capacity to 19 million TEU.

"We continue to manage our portfolio actively, having monetised some of our assets in Hong Kong this year and we expect to recycle this cash into projects that will return higher growth on our capital employed. Crucially our balance sheet remains strong, which provides us with the flexibility to invest in the future growth of our current portfolio, and to make new investments should the right opportunities arise, enhancing returns to shareholders over the medium term.

"Looking ahead, while the outlook in some regions remains challenging, we have demonstrated our ability to remain profitable despite these headwinds. We have made an encouraging start to 2014 and, for the year as a whole and beyond, we expect to see a return to normalised volume growth driven by the addition of new capacity in our portfolio and a gradually improving macro environment. We continue to focus on delivering efficiencies, containing costs and handling higher margin containers to drive profitability. Our business is well positioned for growth and we believe we are well placed to continue to outperform the market."

Chairman's Statement

I am pleased to report another successful year for DP World. Despite the on-going challenges affecting the world's economies, DP World delivered profit for the year of $674 million. This robust performance reflects our continued focus on higher margin revenue and minimising costs, on maintaining a strong balance sheet, and on making the most of opportunities to free up capital to re-invest where it will bring the greatest returns.

Excluding profit from divestments and monetisations during the year, the profit attributable to the owners of the Company was $604 million.

Delivering our strategy

Our strategy is centred on four priorities: driving sustained long-term shareholder value; creating a satisfied and profitable customer experience; ensuring our operations are efficient, safe and secure; and creating a learning and growth environment for our people. We believe we continue to make excellent progress in each of these areas.

Value for shareholders, value for customers

With an average concession life of around 40 years, sustaining value is a key driver. We remain confident of achieving our target of a 15% return on capital employed (ROCE)(6) on our existing portfolio and an adjusted EBITDA margin(7) of 50% by 2020.

Our investments are focused on ensuring that we have the right capacity in the right locations and the right services to meet our customers' needs today and tomorrow. During 2013, this included opening for business nearly four million TEU of new capacity across Jebel Ali (UAE), the DP World London Gateway port (UK) and Embraport (Brazil). The opening of additional capacity was supported by the implementation of the latest technology across our portfolio, to speed up our customers' supply chains and bring goods more swiftly to market.

EXPO 2020

We were delighted to be a premier partner of Dubai's Expo2020 bid. Our entire team was behind the bid and we are excited and proud that it was successful. Our attention now turns to making sure we have the infrastructure in place to support this event, and we will be working very closely with our customers to achieve this goal.

We look forward to working with Dubai and the UAE to host this unique event. This event will not only create opportunities for the UAE, it will also create new opportunities for other countries in the region and people across the world.

Board Changes

The close of 2013 saw long standing Board member Cho Ying Davy Ho step down from his role as an Independent Non-Executive Director. On behalf of the Board, I would like to thank Davy for his valuable contribution to the successful strategic development of our business during his time on the Board. I am pleased to welcome Robert Woods, CBE, to the Board from 1 January 2014 as an Independent Non-Executive Director.

As a former Chief Executive Officer of the Peninsular & Oriental Steam Navigation Company, Robert's considerable experience in our industry will be of great value to our organisation as we continue to drive our business forward with strong governance and sound counsel, focused on delivering shareholder value.

Dividend

Following the strong performance this year, the Board is recommending an annual dividend of 23 US cents per share. This comprises a 10% increase in the ordinary dividend to 23 US cents. There is no special dividend given the relatively lower reported gain on separately disclosed items. The growth in the ordinary dividend reflects the Board's confidence in our ability to generate continued earnings growth and strong cash flows. Subject to approval by shareholders, the dividend will be paid on 6 May 2014 to shareholders on the relevant register as at close of business on 1 April 2014.

Outlook

While the outlook in some regions remains challenging, we have demonstrated our ability to remain profitable despite these headwinds. We have made an encouraging start to 2014 and, for the year as a whole and beyond, we expect to see a return to normalised volume growth driven by the addition of new capacity in our portfolio and a gradually improving macro environment. We continue to focus on delivering efficiencies, containing costs and handling higher margin containers to drive profitability. Our business is well positioned for medium to long-term growth underpinning our confidence in meeting our 2020 target of an adjusted EBITDA margin of 50% and ROCE of 15% on our existing portfolio.

Finally, I am encouraged by and grateful for the ongoing commitment of all our partners. As we continue our exciting journey as a leading global terminal operator, I look forward to delivering another year of sustained growth and success with our shareholders.

Group Chief Executive Officer's Review

In 2013, we continued to steer the business through a difficult macro economic environment, remaining focused on higher margin revenues while containing costs and improving efficiencies across our portfolio. Driving this strategy with relentless focus over the course of 2013 has resulted in this excellent set of financial results.

We are pleased to report adjusted EBITDA(8) of $1,414 million and Earnings Per Share (EPS)(9) of 72.8 cents, which represents like-for-like growth of 9% and 27% respectively. We also increased our adjusted EBITDA margin to 46% as we focused on higher margin cargo during the year.

Our strong financial performance came despite muted volume growth. Economic headwinds combined with a highly utilised portfolio with limited spare capacity at key locations constrained our ability to significantly grow volumes in 2013. However, the addition of new capacity in 2014 combined with a projected improvement in global trade sets a promising tone for the year ahead.

Efficiency

We continue our relentless drive to deliver increased productivity and 2013 was another successful year. Berth moves per hour (BMPH), which measures the turn-around time for a vessel, increased further during the year and has now improved by 18% in the last four years. Our gross moves per hour (GMPH), which measures the productivity of our cranes, has delivered a similar trend improving 8% during the same period.

Capital Expenditure

We continue to invest in our portfolio for future growth. Over the course of 2013 we spent $1,063 million in capital expenditure, predominately at our greenfield DP World London Gateway port and logistics park project in the UK, Embraport (Brazil) and the expansion of our flagship Jebel Ali facility in the UAE.

These projects, consistent with the overall nature of our portfolio, are long-term investments, with the life of our concessions averaging approximately 40 years. Our strong cash flows and solid balance sheet mean we are well placed to invest today to meet the long-term needs of our customers whether it is in developed markets requiring increased efficiencies or the capability to handle the increasing size of vessels or in developing markets requiring increased port capacity to meet demand or dated infrastructure.

In the developed markets we have invested in the DP World London Gateway port, which offers a state-of-the art facility to meet the future demands of the industry. In short, our port provides the most efficient link between deep-sea shipping and the largest consumer markets in the UK. We are seeing an increasing number of shipping lines calling at our facility and since the turn of the year we have had eight unscheduled calls at DP World London Gateway port, including an Asia-Europe service, as our port was less impacted by adverse weather due to its sheltered location.

In faster growing markets, we have invested in the largest multi-modal terminal in Brazil (Embraport), which is in the port of Santos,80 kilometres away from Sao Paulo, the country's most populous city. Our terminal has seen encouraging demand since opening as the growth of the middle class population in Brazil and wider region continues to drive demand for containerised goods.

In 2014, we look forward to adding further capacity at Jebel Ali (UAE) and Rotterdam (Netherlands). We are making good progress with Terminal 3 Jebel Ali and it remains on track to deliver four million TEU of additional capacity. Rotterdam is on schedule to open in the second half 2014.

Alongside investing for the sustainable growth of our business, we also continually review our portfolio, disposing of or monetising assets where it makes strategic sense to do so. In 2013, we monetised some of our Hong Kong assets at attractive multiples which subsequently reduced leverage and enabled the recycling of capital into markets that offer the potential to generate higher returns.

Strong Balance Sheet

Our balance sheet remains strong with leverage (net debt to adjusted EBITDA) at a relatively low 1.7 times. This provides us with the headroom and flexibility to invest further should the right opportunities become available. However, we continue to implement strict financial discipline across our business units, and will only deploy shareholder funds if investment opportunities meet our internal rate-of-return requirements.

Chief Financial Officer's Review

DP World has delivered another set of strong financial result in 2013 with profit attributable to owners of the Company growing 10.9% to $604 million. Our adjusted EBITDA was $1,414 million, while adjusted EBITDA margins reached a new high of 46%. On a like-for-like basis the growth was solid with adjusted EBITDA and EPS growing by 9% and 27% respectively driven by margin growth in our Middle East, Europe and Africa region.

2013 revenues grew by 3.6% on a like-for-like basis, despite reporting a 0.5% decline in like-for-like consolidated volumes, which illustrates our ability to target higher margin cargo. Our 2013 like-for-like gross volumes grew marginally by 0.7%, due to a combination of being capacity constrained at key locations including Jebel Ali (UAE) and tougher operating environments in the Asia Pacific and Indian Subcontinent region, particularly in the first half of 2013. After a difficult start to 2013, we were encouraged by our volume improvement and a strong second half of the year resulted in marginal full year volume growth.

Market conditions in the Middle East, Europe and Africa region were mixed. Resilience in our UAE and Africa portfolio mitigated the weaker markets elsewhere. In fact, the UAE delivered another record year with throughput reaching 13.6 million TEU despite being capacity constrained at the start of the year. Consolidated throughput for the region was down 1.1% for the year but our revenue grew 4.4% on a like-for-like basis as our cargo mix favoured higher margin origin and destination and non-container traffic, particularly in the UAE. This translated into a strong financial performance with adjusted EBITDA improving by 7.3% to $1,095 million, while the adjusted EBITDA margin expanded to 51.6%.

It has been well documented that market conditions in the Asia Pacific and Indian Subcontinent region were challenging, particularly in the first half of 2013. Weaker than expected GDP growth in Asia combined with a depreciating currency and divestments and monetisations impacted reported volumes, which were down 15% for the year. However on a like-for-like basis the decline was a more modest 4.0%. Reported revenues declined to $355 million while adjusted EBITDA fell to $220 million. However our focus on higher margin cargo and cost efficiencies meant that our margin was protected with an adjusted EBITDA margin of 61.8%. On a more positive note, we witnessed improved market conditions in the second half of 2013 in the region.

The Australia and Americas region delivered a resilient performance with consolidated volumes down marginally by 0.6% in 2013. The Americas delivered a softer performance in the second half of the year due to tough prior year comparables. Overall our revenues in the Australia and Americas region grew by 7.5% to 594 million for the year and our focus on higher margin cargo meant that our adjusted EBITDA of $195 million was up by a pleasing 18% on the prior period, while adjusted EBITDA margins also grew to 32.9%.

Cash Flow and Balance Sheet

Cash generation remained strong with cash from operations standing at $1,299 million for 2013. Our capex reached $1,063 million as we delivered some key projects including the DP World London Gateway port (UK) and the expansion at Jebel Ali (UAE). Gross debt rose marginally to $5,035 million while net debt declined to $2,464 million. Our gearing remains relatively low with net debt to adjusted EBITDA standing at 1.7 times.

Capital Expenditure

We maintain our 2012-2014 $3.7 billion dollar capital expenditure guidance as our projects remain on schedule and on budget. We look forward to adding further capacity at Jebel Ali (UAE) and Rotterdam (Netherlands). The lower than expected reported capital expenditure in 2013 is due to timing differences and we expect that to unwind in 2014.

2020 Targets

In summary, we continue to work towards achieving our 2020 targets of 50% adjusted EBITDA margins and 15% ROCE on our existing portfolio. While reported adjusted EBITDA margin stood at 46%, the margin on a like-for-like basis was 47.6%. Our ROCE for our portfolio of assets reached 6.7% in 2013, up from 4.4% in 2010. We expect further ROCE improvement in the coming years as we continue to grow and increase utilisation levels across the portfolio.

Report on the consolidated financial statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of DP World ("the Company") and its subsidiaries (collectively referred to as "the Group"), which comprise the consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 December 2013, the consolidated statements of comprehensive income (comprising a separate consolidated income statement and a consolidated statement of comprehensive income), consolidated statements of changes in equity and cash flows for the year then ended, and notes, comprising a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.

Management's responsibility for the consolidated financial statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these consolidated financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditors' responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing. Those standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free from material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. The procedures selected depend on our judgement, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, we consider internal control relevant to the entity's preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity's internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Opinion

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements give a true and fair view of the consolidated financial position of the Group as at 31 December 2013, and of its consolidated financial performance and its consolidated cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards.

** A significant portion of this includes foreign exchange translation differences arising from the translation of goodwill and purchase price adjustments which are denominated in foreign currencies at the Group level. The translation differences arising on account of translation of the financial statements of foreign operations whose functional currencies are different from that of the Group's presentation currency on Group consolidation are also reflected here. There are no differences on translation from functional to presentation currency as the Company's functional currency is currently pegged to the presentation currency (refer to note 2(d)).

DP World Limited and its subsidiaries

Notes to consolidated financial statements

(forming part of the financial statements)

   1          Reporting entity 

DP World Limited ("the Company") was incorporated on 9 August 2006 as a Company Limited by Shares with the Registrar of Companies of the Dubai International Financial Centre ("DIFC") under the Companies Law, DIFC Law No. 3 of 2006. The consolidated financial statements of the Company for the year ended 31 December 2013 comprise the Company and its subsidiaries (collectively referred to as "the Group") and the Group's interests in equity-accounted investees. The Group is engaged in the business of international marine terminal operations and development, logistics and related services.

Port & Free Zone World FZE ("the Parent Company"), which originally held 100% of the Company's issued and outstanding share capital, made an initial public offer of 19.55% of its share capital to the public and the Company was listed on the Nasdaq Dubai with effect from 26 November 2007. The Company was further admitted to trade on the London Stock Exchange with effect from 1 June 2011.

Port & Free Zone World FZE is a wholly owned subsidiary of Dubai World Corporation ("the Ultimate Parent Company").

The Company's registered office address is P.O. Box 17000, Dubai, United Arab Emirates.

   2          Basis of preparation 
   (a)        Statement of compliance 

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS").

The consolidated financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors on 20 March 2014.

   (b)        Basis of measurement 

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis except for derivative financial instruments and available-for-sale financial assets which are measured at fair value.

The methods used to measure fair values are discussed further in note 5.

   (c)        Funding and liquidity 

The Group's business activities, together with factors likely to affect its future development, performance and position are set out in the Chairman's Statement and Operating and Financial Review. In addition, note 6 sets out the Group's objectives, policies and processes for managing the Group's financial risk including capital management and note 30 provides quantitative details of the Group's exposure to credit risk, liquidity risk and interest rate risk from financial instruments.

The Board of Directors remain satisfied with the Group's funding and liquidity position. At 31 December 2013, the Group has a net debt of USD 2,463,954 thousand (2012: USD 2,870,723 thousand). The Group's credit facility covenants are currently well within the covenant limits. The Group generated gross cash of USD 1,321,024 thousand (2012: USD 1,266,055 thousand) from operating activities and its interest cover for the year is 5 times (2012: 4.7 times) (calculated using adjusted EBITDA and net finance cost before separately disclosed items).

Based on the above, the Board of Directors have concluded that the going concern basis of preparation continues to be appropriate.

   2          Basis of preparation (continued) 
   (d)        Functional and presentation currency 

The functional currency of the Company is UAE Dirhams. Each entity in the Group determines its own functional currency and items included in the financial statements of each entity are measured using that functional currency.

These consolidated financial statements are presented in United States Dollars ("USD"), which in the opinion of management is the most appropriate presentation currency of the company in view of the global presence of the Group. All financial information presented in USD is rounded to the nearest thousand.

UAE Dirham is currently pegged to USD and there are no differences on translation from functional to presentation currency.

   (e)        Use of estimates and judgements 

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an on-going basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised and in any future periods affected.

   (i)         Judgements 

Information about critical judgements in applying accounting policies that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the consolidated financial statements are as follows:

   (a)        Provision for income taxes and deferred tax 

The Group is subject to income taxes in numerous jurisdictions. Significant judgement is required in determining the worldwide provision for income taxes. There are many transactions and calculations for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain during the ordinary course of business. The Group recognises liabilities for anticipated tax payments based on estimates of whether additional taxes will be due. Where the final tax outcome of these matters is different from the amounts that were initially recorded, such differences will impact the income tax and deferred tax provisions in the period in which such determination is made.

Deferred tax assets are recognised for all unused tax losses to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the losses can be utilised. Significant management judgement is required to determine the amount of deferred tax assets that can be recognised, based upon the likely timing and level of future taxable profits together with future tax planning strategies.

   (b)        Impairment of available-for-sale financial assets 

Available-for-sale financial assets are impaired when objective evidence of impairment exists. A significant or prolonged decline in the fair value of an investment is considered as objective evidence of impairment. The Group considers that generally a decline of 20% will be considered as significant and a decline of over 9 months will be considered as prolonged.

   (e)        Use of estimates and judgements (continued) 
   (i)         Judgements (continued) 
   (c)        Fair value of financial instruments 

Where the fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities recorded in the consolidated statement of financial position cannot be derived from active markets, they are determined using valuation techniques including the discounted cash flow model. The inputs to these models are taken from observable markets where possible, but where this is not feasible, a degree of judgement is required in establishing fair values. The judgements include consideration of inputs such as market risk, credit risk and volatility.

   (d)        Contingent liabilities 

There are various factors that could result in a contingent liability being disclosed if the probability of any outflow in settlement is not remote. The assessment of the outcome and financial effect is based upon management's best knowledge and judgement of current facts as at the reporting date.

   (ii)        Estimates 

Information about assumptions and estimation uncertainties that have significant risk of resulting in a material adjustment within the next financial year are as follows:

   (a)        Useful life of property, plant and equipment and port concession rights with finite life 

The useful life of property, plant and equipment and port concession rights with finite life is determined by the Group's management based on their estimate of the period over which an asset or port concession right is expected to be available for use by the Group. This estimate is reviewed and adjusted if appropriate at each financial year end. This may result in a change in the useful economic lives and therefore depreciation and amortisation expense in future periods.

   (b)        Impairment testing of goodwill and port concession rights 

The Group determines whether goodwill and port concession rights with indefinite life are impaired, at least on an annual basis. This requires an estimation of the value in use of the cash-generating units to which the goodwill is allocated or in which the port concession rights with indefinite life exist. Estimating the value in use requires the Group to make an estimate of the expected future cash flows from the cash-generating unit and also to choose a suitable discount rate in order to calculate the present value of those cash flows.

   (c)        Impairment of accounts receivable 

An estimate of the collectible amount of accounts receivable is made when collection of the full amount is no longer probable. For significant amounts, this estimation is performed on an individual basis. Amounts which are not individually significant, but which are past due, are assessed collectively and a provision applied according to the length of time past due, based on historical recovery rates. Any difference between the amounts actually collected in future periods and the amounts expected, will be recognised in the consolidated income statement.

   (d)        Pension and post-employment benefits 

The cost of defined benefit pension plans and other post-employment benefits is determined using actuarial valuations. The actuarial valuation involves making assumptions about discount rates, expected rates of return on assets, future salary increases, mortality rates and future pension increases. Due to the long-term nature of these plans, such estimates are subject to significant uncertainty.

   2          Basis of preparation (continued) 
   (e)        Use of estimates and judgements (continued) 
   (ii)        Estimates (continued) 
   (e)        Business combinations 

In accounting for business combinations, judgement is required in identifying whether an identifiable intangible asset is to be recorded separately from goodwill. Additionally, estimating the acquisition date fair value of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed involves management judgment. These measurements are based on information available at the acquisition date and are based on expectations and assumptions that have been deemed reasonable by the management. Changes in these judgements, estimates and assumptions can materially affect the results of operations.

   3          Changes in accounting policies 

Except for the changes below, the Group has consistently applied the accounting policies set out in Note 4 to all periods presented in these consolidated financial statements.

The Group has adopted the following new standards and amendments to standards, including any consequential amendments to other standards, with a date of initial application of 1 January 2013.

   a.   IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements (2011) 
   b.   IFRS 11 Joint Arrangements 
   c.   IFRS 12 Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities 
   d.   IFRS 13 Fair Value Measurement 
   e.   Presentation of Items of Other Comprehensive Income (Amendments to IAS 1) 
   f.    IAS 19 Employee Benefits (2011) 

The nature and effects of the changes are explained below:

(a) Subsidiaries

As a result of IFRS 10 (2011), the Group has changed its accounting policy for determining whether it has control over and consequently whether it consolidates its investees. IFRS 10 (2011) introduces a new control model that focuses on whether the Group has power over an investee, exposure or rights to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and ability to use its power to affect those returns.

In accordance with the transitional provisions of IFRS 10 (2011), the Group reassessed the control conclusion for its investees at 1 January 2013 resulting in no change.

(b) Joint arrangements

As a result of IFRS 11, the Group has changed its accounting policy for its interests in joint arrangements. Under IFRS 11, the Group has classified its interests in joint arrangements as either joint operations (if the Group has rights to assets, and obligations for liabilities, relating to an arrangement) or joint ventures (if the Group has rights only to the net assets of an arrangement). When making this assessment, the Group considered the structure of the arrangements, the legal form of any separate vehicles, the contractual terms of the arrangements and other facts and circumstances. Previously, the structure of the arrangement was the sole focus of classification.

The Group has concluded that there are no joint operations.

   3          Changes in accounting policies (continued) 

(c) Disclosure of interests in other entities

As a result of IFRS 12, the Group has expanded its disclosures about its interests in equity- accounted investees and non-controlling interests (see Note 16, 22 and 34).

(d) Fair value measurement

IFRS 13 establishes a single framework for measuring fair value and making disclosures about fair value measurements when such measurements are required or permitted by other IFRSs. It unifies the definition of fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. It replaces and expands the disclosure requirements about fair value measurements in other IFRSs, including IFRS 7. As a result, the Group has included additional disclosures in this regard (see Note 30).

Notwithstanding the above, the change had no significant impact on the measurements of the Group's assets and liabilities.

(e) Presentation of items of Other Comprehensive Income (OCI)

As a result of the amendments to IAS 1, the Group has modified the presentation of items of OCI in its consolidated statement of comprehensive income, to present separately items that would be reclassified to consolidated income statement from those that would never be. Comparative information has been re-presented accordingly.

   (f)   Post-employment defined benefit plans 

IAS 19 Revised (2011) - Employee Benefits - includes a number of amendments to the accounting for defined benefit plans. The following changes have had an impact on the Group:

- Expected returns on plan assets are no longer recognised in profit or loss. Net interest is recognised in profit or loss, calculated using the discount rate used to measure the net defined benefit liability. The difference between the actual return on plan assets and the interest income is recognised as a re-measurement in other comprehensive income.

- Administration costs are recognised in profit or loss and no longer being taken into account in measuring the defined benefit obligation.

- Unvested past service costs can no longer be deferred and recognised over the future vesting period. Instead, all past service costs are recognised at the earlier of when the amendment occurs and when the Group recognises related restructuring or termination costs. (Until 2012, the Group's past service costs were recognised as an expense on a straight-line basis over the average period until the benefits become vested).

Other amendments include new disclosures, such as, quantitative sensitivity disclosures.

(a) The transition to revised IAS 19 resulted in a reduction of net defined benefit plan obligations due to the administration costs being taken to the consolidated income statement each year rather than being reserved as part of the discounted obligation.

(b) Certain pension administration costs are directly recognised in consolidated income statement as per revised IAS 19.

(c) The interest expense/ (income) under IAS 19R is calculated as net interest based on the discount rate that is used to measure the net defined benefit liability. Expected returns on plan assets are no longer recognised in profit or loss. These changes in the standard give rise to an adjustment in profit and loss with a corresponding impact in actuarial reserve.

The segment information has accordingly been adjusted based on the above restatements (refer to note 7).

   4          Significant accounting policies 

The accounting policies set out below have been applied consistently in the year presented in these consolidated financial statements and have been applied consistently by the Group entities.

   (a)        Basis of consolidation 
   (i)      Business combinations 

Except for transactions involving entities under common control, where the provisions of IFRS 3, 'Business Combinations' are not applicable, business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method as at the acquisition date - i.e. when control is transferred to the Group. Control is the power to govern the financial and operating policies of an entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities. In assessing control, the Group takes into consideration potential voting rights that are currently exercisable.

The Group measures goodwill at the acquisition date as:

   --        the fair value of the consideration transferred; plus 
   --        the recognised amount of any non-controlling interests in the acquiree; plus 

-- if the business combination is achieved in stages, the fair value of the pre-existing equity interest in the acquiree; less

-- the net recognised amount (generally fair value) of the identifiable assets (including previously unrecognised port concession rights) acquired and liabilities (including contingent liabilities and excluding future restructuring) assumed.

In an acquisition, if the purchase price is lower than the fair value of the assets acquired, the resulting gain will be recognised immediately in the statement of consolidated income statement.

The consideration transferred does not include amounts related to the settlement of pre-existing relationships. Such amounts are generally recognised in the consolidated income statement.

Transaction costs, other than those associated with the issue of debt or equity securities, that the Group incurs in connection with a business combination are expensed as incurred.

Any contingent consideration payable is measured at fair value at the acquisition date. If the contingent consideration is classified as equity, then it is not remeasured and settlement is accounted for within equity. Otherwise, subsequent changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration are recognised in the consolidated income statement.

   4          Significant accounting policies (continued) 
   (a)        Basis of consolidation (continued) 
   (ii)     Non-controlling interests 

For each business combination, the Group elects to measure any non-controlling interests at their proportionate share of the acquiree's identifiable net assets, which is generally at fair value.

Losses applicable to the non-controlling interests in a subsidiary are allocated to the non-controlling interests even if doing so, causes the non-controlling interests to have a debit balance.

Changes in the Group's interests in a subsidiary that do not result in a loss of control are accounted for as transactions with owners in their capacity as owners and therefore no goodwill is recognised as a result of such transactions. The difference between the fair value of any consideration paid and relevant share acquired in the carrying value of net assets of the subsidiary is recorded in equity under retained earnings.

               (iii)       Subsidiaries 

Subsidiaries are entities controlled by the Group. The Group controls an entity when it is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity. The financial statements of subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date that control commences until the date that control ceases. The accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to align them with the policies adopted by the Group.

   (iv)       Loss of control 

On the loss of control, the Group derecognises the assets and liabilities of a subsidiary, any non-controlling interests and the other components of equity related to the subsidiary. Any surplus or deficit arising on the loss of control is recognised in the consolidated income statement. If the Group retains any interest in the previous subsidiary, then such interest is re-measured at fair value at the date that control is lost. Subsequently, that retained interest is accounted for as an equity-accounted investee or as an available-for-sale financial asset depending on the level of influence retained.

   (v)        Structured entities 

The Group has established DP World Sukuk Limited (a limited liability company incorporated in the Cayman Islands) as a structured entity ("SE") for the issue of Sukuk Certificates. These certificates are listed on Nasdaq Dubai and London Stock Exchange. The Group does not have any direct or indirect shareholding in this entity.

A SE is consolidated based on an evaluation of the substance of its relationship with the Group and its risks and rewards. The SE was established by the Group under the terms that impose strict limitations on the decision-making powers of the SE's management thereby resulting into majority of the benefits related to the SE's operations and net assets being received by the Group. Consequently, the Group is also exposed to risks incident to the SE's activities and retains the majority of the residual or ownership risks related to the SE or its assets. Therefore, Group concludes that it controls the SE. Refer to accounting policy on non-derivative financial liabilities in note 4 (c) (ii).

   4          Significant accounting policies (continued) 
   (a)        Basis of consolidation (continued) 
   (vi)       Investments in associates and joint ventures (equity-accounted investees) 

Associates are those entities in which the Group has significant influence, but not control or joint control, over the financial and operating policies. Significant influence is presumed to exist when the Group holds between 20 percent and 50 percent of the voting power of another entity.

Joint ventures are those entities over whose activities the Group has joint control, whereby the Group has rights to the net assets of the arrangement, rather than rights to its individual assets and obligations for its individual liabilities.

Investments in equity-accounted investees are accounted for using the equity method and are initially recorded at cost including transaction costs. The Group's investment includes fair value adjustments (including goodwill) net of any accumulated impairment losses. The consolidated financial statements include the Group's share of the income and expenses of equity-accounted investees, after adjustments to align the accounting policies with those of the Group, from the date that significant influence or joint control commences until the date that significant influence or joint control ceases.

When the Group's share of losses exceeds its interest in an equity-accounted investee, the carrying amount of that interest (including any long-term investments) is reduced to nil and the recognition of further losses is discontinued except to the extent that the Group has an obligation or has made payments on behalf of the investee. If the equity-accounted investees subsequently reports profits, the Group resumes recognising its share of those profits only after its share of the profits equals the share of losses not recognised.

The financial statements of the equity-accounted investees are prepared for the same reporting period as the Group. The transactions between the Group and its equity-accounted investees are made at normal market prices.

At each reporting date, the Group determines whether there is any objective evidence that the investment in the equity-accounted investees are impaired. If this is the case, the Group calculates the amount of impairment as the difference between the recoverable amount of the equity-accounted investees and its carrying value and recognises the same in the consolidated income statement.

Upon loss of joint control or significant influence, the Group measures and recognises any retained investment at its fair value. The difference between the carrying amount of the equity-accounted investees upon loss of joint control or significant influence and the fair value of the retained investment and proceeds from disposal is recognised as profit or loss in the consolidated income statement.

   (vii)      Transactions eliminated on consolidation 

Intra-group balances and transactions, and any unrealised income and expenses arising from intra-group transactions, are eliminated in preparing the consolidated financial statements. Unrealised gains arising from the transactions with equity-accounted investees are eliminated against the investment to the extent of the Group's interest in the investee. Unrealised losses are eliminated in the same way as unrealised gains, but only to the extent that there is no evidence of impairment.

   4          Significant accounting policies (continued) 
   (b)        Foreign currency 
   (i)         Foreign currency transactions 

These consolidated financial statements are presented in USD, which is the Group's presentation currency. Transactions in foreign currencies are translated to the respective functional currencies of the Group entities at exchange rates at the date of the transactions. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the reporting date are retranslated to the functional currency at the exchange rate at that date. Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies that are measured at fair value are retranslated to the functional currency at the exchange rate at the date that the fair value was determined. Non-monetary items in a foreign currency that are measured at historical cost are translated to the functional currency using the exchange rate at the date of transaction. Foreign currency differences arising on retranslation of monetary items are recognised in the consolidated income statement, except for differences arising on the retranslation of available-for-sale equity instruments, of a financial liability designated as a hedge of the net investment in a foreign operation, or qualifying cash flow hedges, which are recognised directly in consolidated statement of other comprehensive income (refer to note 4(b)(iii)).

   (ii)        Foreign operations 

The assets and liabilities of foreign operations, including goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on acquisition, are translated to USD at exchange rates at the reporting date. The income and expenses of foreign operations are translated to USD at rates approximating to the foreign exchange rates ruling at the date of the transactions. Foreign exchange differences arising on translation are recognised in the consolidated statement of other comprehensive income and presented in the translation reserve in equity. However, if the foreign operation is not a wholly owned subsidiary, then the relevant proportion of the translation difference is allocated to non-controlling interests.

When a foreign operation is disposed such that control, significant influence or joint control is lost, the cumulative amount in the translation reserve related to that foreign operation is reclassified to the consolidated income statement as part of the gain or loss on disposal. When the Group disposes of only part of its interest in a subsidiary that includes a foreign operation while retaining control, the relevant proportion of the cumulative amount is reattributed to non- controlling interests. When the Group disposes of only part of its investment in an associate or joint venture that includes a foreign operation while retaining significant influence or joint control, the relevant proportion of the cumulative amount is reclassified to the consolidated income statement.

Foreign exchange gains and losses arising from a monetary item receivable from or payable to a foreign operation, the settlement of which is neither planned nor likely in the foreseeable future, are considered to form part of a net investment in a foreign operation and are recognised in consolidated statement of other comprehensive income and presented in the translation reserve in equity.

   4          Significant accounting policies (continued) 
   (b)        Foreign currency (continued) 
   (iii)       Hedge of a net investment in a foreign operation 

Foreign currency differences arising on the retranslation of a financial liability designated as a hedge of a net investment in a foreign operation are recognised in the consolidated statement of other comprehensive income, to the extent that the hedge is effective. To the extent that the hedge is ineffective, such differences are recognised in the consolidated income statement. When the hedged net investment is disposed of, the associated cumulative amount in consolidated statement of other comprehensive income is transferred to the consolidated income statement as part of the gain or loss on disposal.

   (c)        Financial instruments 
   (i)         Non-derivative financial assets 

Initial recognition and measurement

The Group classifies non-derivative financial assets into the following categories: held to maturity financial assets, loans and receivables and available-for-sale financial assets. The Group determines the classification of its financial assets at initial recognition.

All non-derivative financial assets are recognised initially at fair value, plus, any directly attributable transaction costs.

The Group initially recognises loans and receivables and deposits on the date that they originated. All other financial assets are recognised initially on the trade date, which is the date that the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

The Group's non-derivative financial assets comprise investments in an unquoted infrastructure fund, debt securities held to maturity, trade and other receivables, due from related parties and cash and cash equivalents.

Subsequent measurement

The subsequent measurement of non-derivative financial assets depends on their classification as follows:

Held to maturity financial assets

If the Group has a positive intent and ability to hold debt securities to maturity, then these are classified as held-to-maturity. Subsequent to initial recognition, held-to-maturity financial assets are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment losses. Amortised cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and fees or costs that are an integral part of the effective interest rate. The effective interest rate amortisation is included in finance cost in the consolidated income statement. Gains and losses are also recognised in the consolidated income statement when these financial assets are derecognised.

Loans and receivables

Loans and receivables are financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. Subsequent to initial recognition, loans and receivables are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method, less any impairment losses. Loans and receivables comprise bank balances and cash, due from related parties and, trade and other receivables.

   (c)        Financial instruments (continued) 
   (i)         Non-derivative financial assets (continued) 

Bank balances and cash

Bank balances and cash in the consolidated statement of financial position comprise cash in hand, bank balances and deposits.

For the purpose of consolidated statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents consist of bank balances and cash as defined above and cash classified as held for sale, net of bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts form an integral part of the Group's cash management and is included as a component of cash and cash equivalents for the purpose of the consolidated statement of cash flows.

Available-for-sale investments

Available-for-sale financial assets comprise equity securities. Available-for-sale financial assets are non-derivative financial assets that are designated as available-for-sale or are not classified in any of the above categories of financial assets. Subsequent to initial recognition, these are measured at fair value and changes therein, other than impairment losses and foreign currency differences on debt instruments are recognised in the consolidated statement of other comprehensive income and presented in the other reserves in equity. When an investment is derecognised, the balance accumulated in equity is reclassified to the consolidated income statement.

De-recognition of non-derivative financial assets

The Group derecognises a financial asset when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire, or it transfers the rights to receive the contractual cash flows on the financial asset in a transaction in which substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset are transferred. Any interest in transferred financial assets that is created or retained by the Group is recognised as a separate asset or liability.

   (ii)        Non -derivative financial liabilities 

Initial recognition and measurement

The Group's non-derivative financial liabilities consist of loans and borrowings, bank overdrafts, amounts due to related parties, and trade and other payables. The Group determines the classification of its financial liabilities at initial recognition.

All non-derivative financial liabilities are recognised initially at fair value and in the case of other financial liabilities net of directly attributable transaction costs.

The Group initially recognises debt securities issued and subordinated liabilities on the date they originated. All other financial liabilities are recognised initially on the trade date, which is the date that the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

Fees paid on the establishment of loan facilities are recognised as transaction costs to the extent there is evidence that it is probable that some or all of the facility will be drawn down, the fee is capitalised as a prepayment for liquidity services and amortised over the period of the facility to which it relates.

   4          Significant accounting policies (continued) 
   (c)        Financial instruments (continued) 
   (ii)        Non -derivative financial liabilities (continued) 

Subsequent measurement

The subsequent measurement of non-derivative financial liabilities depends on their classification as follows:

Subsequent to initial recognition, these financial liabilities are measured at amortised cost using effective interest rate method. Amortised cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and fees or costs that are an integral part of the effective interest rate. The effective interest rate amortisation is included in finance costs in the consolidated income statement.

A substantial modification of the terms of an existing financial liability or a part of it shall be accounted for as an extinguishment of the original financial liability and the recognition of a new financial liability. Any gain or loss on extinguishment is recognised in the consolidated income statement. If discounted present value of the cash flows (including any fees paid) under a new term arrangement is at least 10% different from the discounted present value of the remaining cash flows of the original liability, this is accounted for as an extinguishment of the old liability and the recognition of a new liability. Furthermore, qualitative assessment to assess extinguishment is also performed. Some of the factors considered in performing a qualitative assessment include change in interest basis, extension of debt tenure, change in collateral arrangements and change in currency of lending.

De-recognition of non-derivative financial liabilities

The Group derecognises a financial liability when its contractual obligations are discharged or cancelled or expired.

   (iii)       Derivative financial instruments 

The Group holds derivative financial instruments such as forward currency contracts and interest rate swaps to hedge its foreign currency and interest rate risk exposures. On initial designation of the derivatives as the hedging instrument, the Group formally documents the relationship between the hedging instrument and hedged item, including the risk management objective and strategy in undertaking the hedge transaction and hedged risk together with the methods that will be used to assess the effectiveness of the hedging relationship. The Group makes an assessment, both at the inception of the hedge relationship as well as on an ongoing basis, of whether the hedging instruments are expected to be "highly effective" in offsetting the changes in the fair value or cash flows of the respective hedged items attributable to the hedged risk and whether the actual results of each hedge are within the acceptable range.

Derivatives are recognised initially at fair value and attributable transaction costs are recognised in the consolidated income statement when incurred. Derivatives are carried as financial assets when the fair value is positive and as financial liabilities when the fair value is negative.

Derivative instruments that are not designated as hedging instruments in hedge relationships are classified as financial liabilities or assets at fair value through profit or loss.

   4          Significant accounting policies (continued) 
   (c)        Financial instruments (continued) 
               (iii)       Derivative financial instruments (continued) 

Subsequent to initial recognition, derivatives are measured at fair value, and changes therein are accounted for as described below:

Cash flow hedges

When a derivative is designated as the hedging instrument in a hedge of the variability in cash flows attributable to a particular risk associated with a recognised asset or liability or a highly probable forecast transaction or the foreign currency risk in an unrecognised firm commitment that could affect the consolidated income statement, then such hedges are classified as cash flow hedges.

Changes in the fair value of the derivative hedging instrument designated as a cash flow hedge are recognised directly in consolidated statement of other comprehensive income to the extent that the hedge is effective and presented in the hedging reserve in equity. Any ineffective portion of changes in the fair value of the derivative is recognised immediately in the consolidated income statement.

When the hedged item is a non-financial asset, the amount recognised in the consolidated statement of other comprehensive income is transferred to the carrying amount of the asset when it is recognised. In other cases, the amount recognised in consolidated statement of other comprehensive income is transferred to the consolidated income statement in the same period that the hedged item affects the consolidated income statement. If the hedging instrument no longer meets the criteria for hedge accounting, expires or is sold, terminated or exercised, or the designation is revoked, then hedge accounting is discontinued prospectively. The cumulative gain or loss previously recognised in consolidated statement of other comprehensive income remains there until the forecast transaction or firm commitment occurs. If the forecast transaction or firm commitment is no longer expected to occur, then the balance in equity is reclassified to profit or loss.

   (iv)       Offsetting of financial instruments 

Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount presented in the consolidated statement of financial position when, and only when, the Group has a legal right to offset the amounts and intends either to set off on a net basis, or to realise the assets and settle the liability simultaneously.

   (d)        Property, plant and equipment 
   (i)         Recognition and measurement 

Items of property, plant and equipment are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses (refer to note 4(i)).

Cost includes expenditures that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the asset. The cost of a self-constructed asset includes the cost of materials and direct labour, any other costs directly attributable to bringing the asset to a working condition for its intended use and the cost of dismantling and removing the items and restoring the site on which they are located.

   4          Significant accounting policies (continued) 
   (d)        Property, plant and equipment (continued) 
               (i)         Recognition and measurement (continued) 

Borrowing costs that are directly attributable to acquisition and construction of a qualifying asset are included in the cost of that asset. Purchased software that is integral to the functionality of the related equipment is capitalized as part of that equipment.

When parts of an item of property, plant and equipment have different useful lives, they are depreciated as separate items (major components) of property, plant and equipment.

Gains and losses on disposal of an item of property, plant and equipment are determined by comparing the proceeds from disposal with the carrying amount of property, plant and equipment and recognised within 'other income' in the consolidated income statement.

Capital work-in-progress

Capital work-in-progress is measured at cost less impairment losses and not depreciated until such time the assets are ready for intended use and transferred to the respective category under property, plant and equipment.

Dredging

Dredging expenditure is categorised into capital dredging and major maintenance dredging. Capital dredging is expenditure which includes creation of a new harbour, deepening or extension of the channel berths or waterways in order to allow access to larger ships which will result in future economic benefits for the Group. This expenditure is capitalised and amortised over the expected period of the relevant concession agreement. The expenditure is also capitalised under port concession rights due to the application of IFRIC 12 'Service Concession Arrangements'.

Major maintenance dredging is expenditure incurred to restore the channel to its previous condition and depth. On an average, the Group incurs such expenditure every 10 years. At the completion of maintenance dredging, the channel has an average service potential of 10 years. Any unamortised expense is written-off on the commencement of any new dredging activities. Maintenance dredging is regarded as a separate component of the asset and is capitalised and amortised evenly over 10 years.

   (ii)        Subsequent costs 

The cost of replacing part of an item of property, plant and equipment is recognised in the carrying amount of the item if it is probable that the future economic benefits embodied within the part will flow to the Group and its cost can be measured reliably. The carrying amounts of the replaced parts are derecognised. The costs of the day-to-day servicing of property, plant and equipment are recognised in the consolidated income statement as incurred.

   (iii)       Depreciation 

Depreciation is recognised in the consolidated income statement on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of each part of an item of property, plant and equipment and is based on cost less residual value.

Dredging costs are depreciated on a straight line basis based on the lives of various components of dredging.

Leased assets are depreciated over the shorter of the lease term and their useful lives unless it is reasonably certain that the Group will obtain ownership by the end of the lease term. No depreciation is provided on freehold land.

   4          Significant accounting policies (continued) 
   (d)        Property, plant and equipment (continued) 
   (iii)       Depreciation (continued) 

The estimated useful lives of assets are as follows:

 
 Assets                        Useful life (years) 
----------------------------  -------------------- 
 Buildings                                  5 - 50 
----------------------------  -------------------- 
 Plant and equipment                        3 - 25 
----------------------------  -------------------- 
 Ships                                     10 - 35 
----------------------------  -------------------- 
 Dredging (included in land 
  and buildings)                           10 - 99 
----------------------------  -------------------- 
 

Depreciation methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at each reporting date and adjusted prospectively, if required.

   (e)        Goodwill 

Goodwill arises on the acquisition of subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures. Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of the acquisition over the Group's interest in the net fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities of the acquiree. In an acquisition, if the purchase price is lower than the fair value of the assets acquired, the resulting gain will be recognised immediately in the statement of consolidated income statement.

Subsequent measurement

Goodwill is measured at cost less accumulated impairment losses (refer to note 4(i)).

In respect of equity-accounted investees, the carrying amount of goodwill is included in the carrying amount of the investment and is not tested for impairment separately.

   (f)         Port concession rights 

The Group classifies the port concession rights as intangible assets as the Group bears demand risk over the infrastructure assets. Substantially all of the Group's terminal operations are conducted pursuant to long-term operating concessions or leases entered into with the owner of a relevant port for terms generally between 25 and 50 years (excluding the port concession rights relating to associates and joint ventures). The Group commonly starts negotiations regarding renewal of concession agreements with approximately 5-10 years remaining on the term and often obtains renewals or extensions on the concession agreements in advance of their expiration in return for a commitment to make certain capital expenditures in respect of the subject terminal. In addition, such negotiations may result in the re-basing of rental charges to reflect prevailing market rates. However, based on the Group's experience, incumbent operators are typically granted renewal often because it can be costly for a port owner to switch operators, both administratively and due to interruptions to port operations and reduced productivity associated with such transactions. Port concession rights consist of:

   (i)         Port concession rights arising on business combinations 

The cost of port concession rights acquired in a business combination is the fair value as at the date of acquisition. Other port concession rights acquired separately are measured on initial recognition at cost.

Following initial recognition, port concession rights are carried at cost less accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment losses (refer to note 4(i)). Internally generated port concession rights, excluding capitalised development costs, are recognised in the consolidated income statement as incurred. The useful lives of port concession rights are assessed to be either finite or indefinite.

   4          Significant accounting policies (continued) 
   (f)         Port concession rights (continued) 
   (i)         Port concession rights arising on business combinations (continued) 

Port concession rights with finite lives are amortised on a straight line basis over the useful economic life and assessed for impairment whenever there is an indication that the port concession rights may be impaired. Port concession rights with indefinite lives (arising where freehold rights are granted) are not amortised and are tested for impairment at least on an annual basis.

The amortisation period and amortisation method for port concession rights with finite useful lives are reviewed at least at each financial year end. Changes in the expected useful life or the expected pattern of consumption of future economic benefits embodied in the assets are accounted for by changing the amortisation period or method, as appropriate, and treated as changes in accounting estimates. The amortisation expenses on port concession rights with finite useful lives are recognised in the consolidated income statement on a straight line basis.

Port concession rights with indefinite useful lives are tested for impairment annually either individually or at the cash-generating unit level. Such port concession rights are not amortised. The useful life of port concession rights with an indefinite life is reviewed annually to determine whether the indefinite life assessment continues to be supportable. If not, the change in the useful life assessment from indefinite to finite is made on a prospective basis.

   (ii)        Port concession rights arising from Service Concession Arrangements (IFRIC 12) 

The Group recognises port concession rights arising from a service concession arrangement, in which the grantor controls or regulates the services provided and the prices charged, and also controls any significant residual interest in the infrastructure such as property, plant and equipment, if the infrastructure is existing infrastructure of the grantor or the infrastructure is constructed or purchased by the Group as part of the service concession arrangement.

Port concession rights also include certain property, plant and equipment which are reclassified as intangible assets in accordance with IFRIC 12 'Service Concession Arrangements'. These assets are amortised based on the lower of their useful lives or concession period.

Gains or losses arising from de-recognition of port concession rights are measured as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and are recognised in the consolidated income statement when the asset is de-recognised.

The estimated useful lives for port concession rights range within a period of 5 - 50 years (including the concession rights relating to associates and joint ventures).

   (g)        Inventories 

Inventories mainly consist of spare parts and consumables. Inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realisable value. The cost of inventories is based on weighted average method and includes expenditure incurred in acquiring inventories and bringing them to their existing location and condition. Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated costs of completion and selling expenses.

   4          Significant accounting policies (continued) 
   (h)        Leases 

The determination of whether an arrangement is, or contains, a lease is based on the substance of the arrangement at the inception date. The arrangement is assessed for whether fulfilment of the arrangement is dependent on the use of a specific asset or assets or the arrangement conveys a right to use the asset or assets, even if that right is not explicitly specified in an arrangement.

   (i)         Group as a lessee 

Assets held by the Group under leases in which a significant portion of the risks and rewards of ownership are retained by the lessor are classified as operating leases. Assets held under operating leases are not recognised in the Group's consolidated statement of financial position. Payments made under operating leases are recognised in the consolidated income statement on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Lease incentives received are recognised as an integral part of the total lease expense, over the term of the lease.

The Group leases certain property, plant and equipment. Leases of property, plant and equipment where the Group has substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are classified as finance lease. On initial recognition, the leased assets are measured at an amount equal to the lower of its fair value and the present value of the minimum lease payments. Subsequent to initial recognition, the leased asset is accounted for in accordance with the accounting policy applicable to that asset. Minimum lease payments made under finance leases are apportioned between the finance expense and the reduction of the outstanding liability. The finance expense is allocated to each period during the lease term so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability.

Contingent payments are accounted for by revising the minimum lease payments over the remaining term of the lease when the lease adjustment is confirmed.

   (ii)        Group as a lessor 

Leases where the Group retains substantially all the risks and benefits of ownership of the asset are classified as operating leases. Initial direct costs incurred in negotiating an operating lease are added to the carrying amount of the leased asset and recognised over the lease term on the same basis as rental income. Contingent rents are recognised as income in the period in which they are earned.

   (iii)       Leasing and sub-leasing transactions 

A series of leasing and sub-leasing transactions between the Group and third parties, which are closely interrelated, negotiated as a single transaction, and which take place concurrently or in a continuous sequence are considered linked and accounted for as one transaction when the overall economic effect cannot be understood without reference to the series of transactions as a whole.

These leasing and sub-leasing transactions are designed to achieve certain benefits for the third parties in overseas locations in return for a cash benefit to the Group. Such cash benefit is accounted in the consolidated income statement based on its economic substance. Under these leasing and sub-leasing transactions, current and non-current liabilities have been decreased by the loan receivable and the placement of deposits. Those liabilities, receivables and deposits (and income and charges arising therefrom) are netted off in the consolidated financial statements, in order to reflect the overall commercial effect of the arrangement.

   (h)        Leases (continued) 
   (iv)       Leases of land in port concession 

Leases of land have not been classified as finance leases as the Group believes that the substantial risks and rewards of ownership of the land have not been transferred. The existence of a significant exposure of the lessor to performance of the asset through contingent rentals was a basis of concluding that substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership have not passed.

   (i)         Impairment 
   (i)         Financial assets 
   (a)        Loans and receivables and held to maturity investments 

The Group considers evidence of impairment for loans and receivables and held to maturity investment securities at both a specific asset level and collective level. All individually significant receivables and held to maturity investment securities are assessed for specific impairment.

An impairment loss in respect of a financial asset measured at amortised cost is calculated as the difference between its carrying amount and the present value of the estimated future cash flows discounted at the original effective interest rate. Impairment losses are recognised in the consolidated income statement and reflected in an allowance account against loans and receivables or held to maturity investments. When a subsequent event causes the amount of impairment loss to decrease, the decrease in impairment loss is reversed through the consolidated income statement.

   (b)        Available-for-sale financial assets 

For available-for-sale financial investments, the Group assesses at each reporting date whether there is objective evidence that an investment or a group of investments is impaired. A significant or prolonged decline in the fair value of an equity investment is considered as an objective evidence of impairment. The Group considers that generally a decline of 20% will be considered as significant and a decline of over 9 months will be considered as prolonged.

Impairment losses on available-for-sale financial assets are recognised by reclassifying the losses accumulated in the other reserve in equity to the consolidated income statement. The cumulative loss that is reclassified from equity to the consolidated income statement is the difference between the acquisition cost, net of any principal repayment and amortisation, and the current fair value, less any impairment loss recognised previously in the consolidated income statement. Any subsequent recovery in the fair value of an impaired available-for-sale equity security is recognised in consolidated statement of other comprehensive income.

   (ii)        Non-financial assets 

The carrying amounts of the Group's non-financial assets, other than inventories and deferred tax assets are reviewed for impairment whenever there is an indication of impairment. If any such indication exists then the asset's recoverable amount is estimated. The recoverable amount of an asset or cash-generating unit is the greater of its value in use and its fair value less costs to sell. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset or cash generating unit. A cash-generating unit is the smallest identifiable asset group that generates cash flows that largely are independent from other assets and groups.

   4          Significant accounting policies (continued) 
   (i)         Impairment (continued) 
   (ii)        Non-financial assets (continued) 

An impairment loss is recognised if the carrying amount of an asset or its cash-generating unit exceeds its estimated recoverable amount. Impairment losses are recognised in the consolidated income statement. Impairment losses recognised in respect of cash-generating units are allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the units and then to reduce the carrying amount of the other assets in the unit (group of units) on a pro rata basis.

For goodwill and port concession rights that have indefinite lives or that are not yet available for use, recoverable amount is estimated annually and when circumstances indicate that carrying value may be impaired. Goodwill acquired in business combination is allocated to groups of cash generating units that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination. An impairment loss in respect of goodwill is not reversed.

In respect of other assets, impairment losses recognised in prior periods are assessed at each reporting date for any indications that the loss has decreased or no longer exists. An impairment loss is reversed if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount. An impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the asset's carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount, which would have been determined, net of depreciation or amortisation, if no impairment loss had been recognised.

   (j)         Assets held for sale 

Assets (or disposal groups comprising assets and liabilities) which are expected to be recovered primarily through sale rather than through continuing use are classified as held for sale. Immediately before classification as held for sale, the assets (or components of a disposal group) are re-measured in accordance with the Group's accounting policies. Thereafter, generally the assets (or disposal group) are measured at the lower of their carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell. Any impairment loss on a disposal group is first allocated to goodwill, and then to remaining assets and liabilities on a pro rata basis, except that no loss is allocated to inventories, financial assets, deferred tax assets and employee benefit assets which continue to be measured in accordance with the Group's accounting policies. Impairment losses on initial classification as held for sale and subsequent gains or losses on re-measurement are recognised in the consolidated income statement. Gains are not recognised in excess of any cumulative impairment loss.

Port concession rights and property, plant and equipment once classified as held for sale or distribution are not amortised or depreciated. In addition, equity accounting of equity-accounted investees ceases once classified as held for sale.

   (k)       Share capital 

Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of ordinary shares are recognised as a deduction from equity. Any excess payment received over par value is treated as share premium.

   4          Significant accounting policies (continued) 
   (l)         Employee benefits 
   (i)         Pension and post-employment benefits 

The Group's net obligation in respect of defined benefit pension plans is calculated separately for each plan by estimating the amount of future benefit that employees have earned in return for their service in the current and prior periods. That benefit is discounted to determine the present value, and the fair value of any plan assets is deducted. The calculation is performed annually by a qualified actuary using the projected unit credit method. The discount rate is the yield at the reporting date on AA credit rated bonds that have maturity dates approximating to the terms of the Group's obligations.

When the actuarial calculation results in a benefit to the Group, the recognised asset is limited to the present value of economic benefits available in the form of any future refunds from the plan or reductions in future contributions to the plan. In order to calculate the present value of economic benefits, consideration is given to any minimum funding requirements that apply to any plan in the Group. An economic benefit is available to the Group if it is realisable during the life of the plan, or on settlement of the plan liabilities.

Where the present value of the deficit contributions exceeds the IAS 19 deficit an additional liability is recognised.

Re-measurements of the net defined benefit liability, which comprise of actuarial gains and losses, the return on plan assets (excluding interest) and the effect of the asset ceiling (if any, excluding interest) are recognised directly in consolidated statement of other comprehensive income. The cost of providing benefits under the defined benefit plans is determined separately for each plan using the projected unit credit method, which attributes entitlement to benefits to the current period (to determine current service cost) and to the current and prior periods (to determine the present value of defined benefit obligation) and is based on actuarial advice. The Group determines the net interest expense (income) on the net defined benefit liability (asset) for the period by applying the discount rate used to measure the defined benefit obligation at the beginning of the annual period to the then-net defined benefit liability (asset), taking into account any changes in the net defined benefit liability (asset) during the period as result of contributions and benefit payments. Net interest expense and other expenses related to defined benefit plans are recognised in profit or loss.

When the benefits of a plan are changed or when a plan is curtailed, the resulting change in benefit that relates to past service or the gain or loss on curtailment is recognised immediately in profit or loss. The group recognise gains and losses on the settlement of a defined benefit plan when the settlement occurs.

Contributions, including lump sum payments, in respect of defined contribution pension schemes and multi-employer defined benefit schemes where it is not possible to identify the Group's share of the scheme, are charged to the consolidated income statement as they fall due.

   4          Significant accounting policies (continued) 
   (l)         Employee benefits (continued) 
   (ii)        Long-term service benefits 

The Group's net obligation in respect of long-term service benefits, other than pension plans, is the amount of future benefit that employees have earned in return for their service in the current and prior periods. The obligation is calculated using the projected unit credit method and is discounted to its present value and the fair value of any related assets is deducted. The discount rate is the yield at the reporting date on AA credit rated bonds that have maturity dates approximating to the terms of the Group's obligations.

   (iii)       Short-term service benefits 

Short-term employee benefits are expensed as the related service is provided. A liability is recognised for the amount expected to be paid if the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation to pay this amount as a result of past service provided by the employee and the obligation can be estimated reliably.

   (m)       Provisions 

A provision is recognised if, as a result of a past event, the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation that can be estimated reliably, and it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation. Provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability. The unwinding of the discount is recognised as a finance cost in the consolidated income statement.

Provision for an onerous contract is recognised when the expected benefits to be derived by the Group from a contract are lower than the unavoidable cost of meeting its obligations under the contract. The provision is measured at the present value of the lower of the expected cost of terminating the contract and the expected net cost of continuing with the contract.

   (n)        Revenue 

Revenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Group and the revenue can be reliably measured, regardless of when the payment is being made. Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, taking into account contractually defined terms of payment and excluding taxes or duty.

Revenue mainly consists of containerized stevedoring and other containerized revenue. Non-containerized revenue mainly includes logistics and handling of break bulk cargo. The following specific recognition criteria must also be met before revenue is recognised:

Rendering of services

Revenue from providing containerized stevedoring, other containerized services and non-containerized services is recognised on the delivery and completion of those services.

Service concession arrangements (IFRIC 12)

Revenues relating to construction contracts which are entered into with local authorities for the construction of the infrastructure necessary for the provision of services are measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable.

   4          Significant accounting policies (continued) 
   (o)        Finance income and expense 

Finance income comprises interest income on funds invested and gains on hedging instruments that are recognised in the consolidated income statement. Interest income is recognised as it accrues, using the effective interest method.

Finance costs comprises interest expense on borrowings, unwinding of the discount on provisions, impairment losses recognised on financial assets and losses on hedging instruments that are recognised in the consolidated income statement.

Finance income and expense also include realised and unrealised exchange gains and losses on monetary assets and liabilities (refer to note 4(b)(i)).

   (p)        Income tax 

Income tax expense comprises current and deferred tax. Income tax expense is recognised in the consolidated income statement except to the extent that it relates to a business combination, or items recognised directly in consolidated statement of other comprehensive income.

Current tax is the expected tax payable on the taxable income for the year, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date in the countries where the Group operates and generates taxable income. It also includes any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years.

Current tax assets and liabilities are offset only if certain criteria are met.

Deferred tax is recognised using the liability method, providing for temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes. Deferred tax is not recognised for:

-- the temporary differences arising on the initial recognition of goodwill and the initial recognition of assets or liabilities in a transaction that is not a business combination and that affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss; and

-- the temporary differences relating to investments in subsidiaries and jointly controlled entities to the extent that they probably will not reverse in the foreseeable future.

The measurement of deferred tax reflects the tax consequences that would follow the manner in which the Group expects, at the end of the reporting period, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities.

Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates that are expected to be applied to the temporary differences when they reverse, based on the laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date.

A deferred tax asset is recognised for unused tax losses, tax credits and deductible temporary differences, to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which they can be utilized. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realized.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset only if certain criteria are met.

   4          Significant accounting policies (continued) 
   (q)        Discontinued operation 

A discontinued operation is a component of the Group's business that represents a separate major line of business or geographical area of operations that has been disposed or is held for sale. Classification as a discontinued operation occurs upon disposal or when the operation meets the criteria to be classified as held for sale, if earlier. When an operation is classified as a discontinued operation, the comparative consolidated income statement and consolidated statement of comprehensive income is restated as if the operation had been discontinued from the start of the comparative period.

In the consolidated income statement of the reporting period, and of the comparable period of the previous year, income and expenses from discontinued operations are reported separately from income and expenses from continuing operations, down to the level of profit after taxes, even when the Group retains a non-controlling interest in the subsidiary after the sale. The resulting profit or loss (after taxes) is reported separately in the consolidated income statement and disclosed in the notes to the consolidated financial statements.

   (r)        Earnings per share 

The Group presents basic earnings per share ("EPS") data for its ordinary shares. Basic EPS is calculated by dividing the profit or loss attributable to ordinary shareholders of the Company by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the year.

   (s)        Segment reporting 

An operating segment is a component of the Group that engages in business activities from which it may earn revenue and incur expenses, including revenues and expenses that relate to transactions with any of the Group's other components. All operating segments' operating results are reviewed regularly by the Group's Board of Directors to assess performance.

Segment results that are reported to the Board of Directors include items directly attributable to a segment as well as those that can be allocated on a reasonable basis. Unallocated items mainly comprise corporate assets (primarily Company's head office), head office expenses and income tax assets and liabilities.

Segment capital expenditure is the total cost incurred during the year to acquire property, plant and equipment, and port concession rights other than goodwill.

   (t)        Separately disclosed items 

The Group presents, as separately disclosed items on the face of the consolidated income statement, those items of income and expense which, because of the nature and expected infrequency of the events giving rise to them, merit separate presentation to allow users to understand better the elements of financial performance in the period, so as to facilitate a comparison with prior periods and a better assessment of trends in financial performance.

   (u)        New standard and interpretation not yet effective 

A number of new standards, amendments to standards and interpretations are not effective for annual periods beginning 1 January 2013, and have not been applied in preparing these consolidated financial statements. Those which may be relevant to the Group are set out below. The Group does not plan to adopt these standards early.

   4          Significant accounting policies (continued) 
   (u)        New standard and interpretation not yet effective (continued) 

IFRS 9 Financial Instruments (2010), IFRS 9 Financial Instruments (2009)

- IFRS 9(2009) introduces new requirements for the classification and measurement of financial assets. Under IFRS 9(2009), financial assets are classified and measured based on the business model in which they are held and the characteristics of their contractual cash flows. IFRS 9(2010) introduces additional changes relating to financial liabilities. The IASB currently has an active project to make limited amendments to the classification and measurement requirements of IFRS 9 and add new requirements to address the impairment of financial assets and hedge accounting.

IFRS 9(2010) and (2009) are effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2015, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of these standards is not expected to have any significant impact on the Group's financial statements.

   5          Determination of fair values 

A number of the Group's accounting policies and disclosures require the determination of fair value, for both financial and non-financial assets and liabilities. Fair values have been determined for measurement and/ or disclosure purposes based on the following methods. When applicable, further information about the assumptions made in determining fair values is disclosed in the notes specific to that asset or liability.

   (i)         Property, plant and equipment 

The fair value of property, plant and equipment recognised as a result of a business combination is based on market values. The market value of property is the estimated amount for which a property could be exchanged on the date of valuation between a willing buyer and a willing seller in an arm's length transaction after proper marketing wherein the parties had each acted knowledgeably, prudently and without compulsion. The market value of items of plant, equipment, fixtures and fittings is based on the quoted market prices for similar items.

   (ii)        Port concession rights 

Port concession rights acquired in a business combination are accounted at their fair values. The fair value is based on the discounted cash flows expected to be derived from the use and eventual sale of the assets.

   (iii)       Investments in debt securities and available-for-sale financial assets 

The fair values of equity and debt securities are determined by reference to their quoted closing bid price at the reporting date. The fair value of the unquoted infrastructure investment fund classified as available-for-sale is based on the independent valuation of the fund. The fair value of debt securities held to maturity is determined based on the discounted cash flows at a market related discount rate. The fair value of debt securities held to maturity is determined for disclosure purposes only.

   (iv)       Trade and other receivables/ payables 

The fair value of trade and other receivables and trade and other payables approximates to the carrying values due to the short term maturity of these instruments.

   5          Determination of fair values (continued) 
   (v)        Derivatives 

The fair value of forward exchange contracts and interest rate swaps is based on the bank quotes at the reporting dates. Similar contracts are traded in an active market and the quotes reflect the actual transactions in similar instruments.

   (vi)       Non-derivative financial liabilities 

Fair value for quoted bonds is based on their market price as at the reporting date. Other loans include term loans and finance leases. These are largely at variable interest rates and therefore, the carrying value normally equates to the fair value.

The fair value of bank balances and cash and bank overdrafts approximates to the carrying value due to the short term maturity of these instruments.

   6          Financial risk management 

Overview

The Group has exposure to the following risks from its use of financial instruments:

   (a)     credit risk 
   (b)     liquidity risk 
   (c)     market risk 

This note presents information about the Group's exposure to each of the above risks, the Group's objectives, policies and processes for measuring and managing risk. Further quantitative disclosures are included throughout these consolidated financial statements. Also refer to note 30 for further details.

Risk management framework

The Board of Directors have overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the Group's risk management framework.

The Group's risk management policies are established to identify and analyse the risks faced by the Group, to set appropriate risk limits and controls, and to monitor risks and adherence to limits. The Group, through its training and management standards and procedures, aims to develop a disciplined and constructive control environment in which all employees understand their roles and obligations.

The Group Audit Committee oversees how management monitors compliance with the Group's risk management policies and procedures and reviews the adequacy of the risk management framework in relation to the risks faced by the Group. The Group Audit Committee is assisted in its oversight role by Internal Audit. Internal Audit undertakes both regular and ad-hoc reviews of risk management controls and procedures, the results of which are reported to the Audit Committee.

   6          Financial risk management (continued) 

Risk management framework (continued)

   (a)        Credit risk 

Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Group if a customer fails to meet its contractual obligations, and arises principally from the Group's receivables from customers, amounts due from related parties and investment securities.

Trade and other receivables

The Group trades mainly with recognised and creditworthy third parties. It is the Group's policy that all customers who wish to trade on credit terms are subject to credit verification procedures and are required to submit financial guarantees based on their creditworthiness. In addition, receivable balances are monitored on an ongoing

basis with the result that the Group's exposure to bad debts is not significant.

The Group establishes an allowance for impairment that represents its estimate of incurred losses in respect of trade and other receivables. The main components of this allowance are a specific loss component that relates to individually significant exposures, and a collective loss component established for groups of similar assets in respect of losses that have been incurred but not yet identified. The collective loss allowance is determined based on historical data of payment statistics for similar financial assets.

Other financial assets

Credit risk arising from other financial assets of the Group comprises cash and cash equivalents and certain derivative instruments. The Group's exposure to credit risk arises from default of the counterparty, with a maximum exposure equal to the carrying amount of these instruments.

The Group manages its credit risks with regard to bank deposits, throughout the Group, through a number of controls, which include assessing the credit rating of the bank either from public credit ratings, or internal analysis where public data is not available and consideration of the support for financial institutions from their central banks or other regulatory authorities.

Financial guarantees

The Group's policy is to consider the provision of a financial guarantee to wholly-owned subsidiaries, where there is a commercial rationale to do so. Guarantees may also be provided to associates and joint ventures in very limited circumstances and always only for the Group's share of the obligation. The provision of guarantees always requires the approval of senior management.

   (b)        Liquidity risk 

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Group's approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will always have sufficient cash to meet its liabilities when due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Group's reputation.

The Group's objective is to maintain a balance between continuityof funding and flexibility through the use of bank facilities and by ensuring adequate internally generated funds. The Group's terms of business require amounts to be paid within 60 days of the date of provision of the service. Trade payables are normally settled within 45 days of the date of purchase.

   6          Financial risk management (continued) 
   (c)        Market risk 

Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices, such as foreign exchange rates and interest rates will affect the Group's income or the value of its holdings of financial instruments. The objective of market risk management is to manage and control market risk exposures within acceptable parameters, while optimising the return.

The Group buys and sells derivatives and also incurs financial liabilities, in order to manage market risks. All such transactions are carried out within the guidelines set by the Board of Directors in the Group Treasury policy. Generally, the Group seeks to apply hedge accounting in order to manage the volatility in the consolidated income statement.

   (i)         Currency risk 

The proportion of the Group's net operating assets denominated in foreign currencies (i.e. other than the functional currency of the Company, UAE Dirhams) is approximately 69 % (2012: 73%) with the result that the Group's USD consolidated statement of financial position, and in particular shareholder's equity, can be affected by currency movements when it is retranslated at each year end rate. The Group partially mitigates the effect of such movements by borrowing in the same currencies as those in which the assets are denominated and using cross currency swaps. The impact of currency movements on operating profit is partially mitigated by interest costs being incurred in foreign currencies. The Group operates in some locations where the local currency is fixed to the Group's presentation currency of USD further reducing the risk of currency movements.

Interest on borrowings is denominated in the currency of the borrowings. Generally, borrowings are denominated in currencies that match the cash flows generated by the underlying foreign operations of the Group. This provides an economic hedge without derivatives being entered into and therefore hedge accounting is not applied in these circumstances.

A portion of the Group's activities generate part of their revenue and incur some costs outside their main functional currency. Due to the diverse number of locations in which the Group operates there is some natural hedging that occurs within the Group. When it is considered that currency volatility could have a material impact on the results of an operation, hedging using forward foreign currency contracts is undertaken to reduce the short-term effect of currency movements.

When the Group's businesses enter into capital expenditure or lease commitments in currencies other than their main functional currency, these commitments are hedged in most instances using forward contracts and currency swaps in order to fix the cost when converted to the functional currency. The Group classifies its forward exchange contracts hedging forecast transactions as cash flow hedges and states them at fair value.

   (ii)        Interest rate risk 

The Group's exposure to the risk of changes in market interest rates relates primarily to the Group's long-term debt obligations with a fixed/ floating interest rate and bank deposits. The Group issued two fixed rate bonds, a 10 year Sukuk with a profit rate of 6.25% and a 30 year Medium Term Note with a coupon of 6.85% which collectively represents USD 3,231,337 thousand of the Group's outstanding debt as at the reporting date.

   6          Financial risk management (continued) 
   (c)        Market risk (continued) 
   (ii)        Interest rate risk (continued) 

The Group's policy is to manage its interest cost by entering into interest rate swap agreements, in which the Group agrees to exchange, at specified intervals, the difference between fixed and variable rate interest amounts calculated by reference to an agreed-upon notional principal amount. These swaps are designated to hedge underlying debt obligations.

At 31 December 2013, after taking into account the effect of interest rate swaps, approximately 90% (2012: 89%) of the Group's borrowings are at a fixed rate of interest.

Capital management

The Board's policy is to maintain a strong capital base so as to maintain investor, creditor and market confidence and to sustain future development of the business. Capital consists of share capital, share premium, shareholders' reserve, retained earnings, hedging and other reserves, actuarial reserve and translation reserve. The primary objective of the Group's capital management is to ensure that it maintains a strong credit rating and healthy capital ratios in order to support its business and maximise shareholder value. The Board seeks to maintain a balance between the higher returns that might be possible with higher levels of borrowings and the advantages and security afforded by a sound capital position.

Neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries are subject to externally imposed capital requirements.

The key performance ratios as at 31 December are as follows:

 
                                               2013           2012

Unrecognised deferred tax assets

Deferred tax is not recognised on trading losses of USD 617,982 thousand (2012: USD 486,771 thousand) where utilisation is uncertain, either because they have not been agreed with tax authorities, or because the likelihood of future taxable profits is not sufficiently certain, or because of the impact of tax holidays on infrastructure projects. Under current legislation, USD 418,901 thousand (2012: USD 331,196 thousand) of these trading losses can be carried forward indefinitely.

Deferred tax is also not recognised on capital and other losses of USD 338,378 thousand (2012: USD 288,722 thousand) due to the fact that their utilisation is uncertain.

   14        Goodwill and port concession rights (continued) 

Port concession rights include concession agreements which are mainly accounted for as part of business combinations and acquisitions. These concessions were determined to have finite and indefinite useful lives based on the terms of the respective concession agreements and the income approach model was used for the purpose of determining their fair values.

At 31 December 2013, port concession rights with a carrying amount of USD 357,785 thousand (2012: USD 502,896 thousand) are pledged to secure bank loans (refer to note 27).

   15        Impairment testing 

Goodwill acquired through business combinations and port concession rights with indefinite useful lives have been allocated to various cash-generating units ("CGU"), which are reportable business units, for the purposes of impairment testing.

Impairment testing is done at operating port (or group of ports) level that represents an individual CGU. Details of the CGUs by operating segment are shown below:

 
                               Carrying                        Carrying               Discount    Perpetuity

The recoverable amount of the CGU has been determined based on their value in use calculated using cash flow projections based on the financial budgets approved by management covering a three year period and a further outlook for five years, which is considered appropriate in view of the outlook for the industry and the long-term nature of the concession agreements held i.e. generally for a period of 25-50 years.

Key assumptions used in value in use calculations

The followingdescribes each key assumption on which management has based its cash flow projections to undertake impairment testing of goodwill and port concession rights with indefinite useful lives.

Budgeted margins - The basis used to determine the value assigned to the budgeted margin is the average gross margin achieved in the year immediately before the budgeted year, adjusted for expected efficiency improvements, price fluctuations and manpower costs.

Discount rates - These represent the cost of capital adjusted for the respective location risk factors. The Group uses the post-tax industry average Weighted Average Cost of Capital which reflects the country specific risk adjusted discount rate.

Cost inflation - The forecast general price index is used to determine the cost inflation during the budget year for the relevant countries where the Group is operating.

Perpetuity growth rate - In management's view, the perpetuity growth rate is the minimum growth rate expected to be achieved beyond the eight year period. This is based on the overall regional economic growth forecasted and the Group's existing internal capacity changes for a given region. The Group also takes into account competition and regional capacity growth to provide a comprehensive growth assumption for the entire portfolio.

The values assigned to key assumptions are consistent with the past experience of management.

Sensitivity to changes in assumptions

The calculation of value in use for the CGU is sensitive to future earnings and therefore a sensitivity analysis was performed. The analysis demonstrated that a 10% decrease in earnings for a future period of three years from the reporting date would not result in impairment.

   16        Investment in equity-accounted investees

* The provision for expatriate staff gratuities, included in Employees' end of service benefits, is calculated in accordance with the regulations of the Jebel Ali Free Zone Authority. This is based on the liability that would arise if employment of all staff were terminated at the reporting date.

The UAE government had introduced Federal Labour Law No.7 of 1999 for pension and social security. Under this Law, employers are required to contribute 15% of the 'contribution calculation salary' of those employees who are UAE nationals. These employees are also required to contribute 5% of the 'contribution calculation salary' to the scheme. The Group's contribution is recognised as an expense in the consolidated income statement as incurred.

   26        Pension and post-employment benefits 

The Group participates in a number of pension schemes throughout the world. The principal scheme is located in the UK (the "P&O UK Scheme"). The P&O UK Scheme is a funded defined benefit scheme and was closed to routine new members on 1 January 2002. The pension fund is legally separated from the Group and managed by a Trustee board. The assets of the scheme are managed on behalf of the Trustee by independent fund managers.

The Group also operates a number of smaller defined benefit and defined contribution schemes. In addition, the Group participates in various industry multi-employer schemes, the most significant of which is the Merchant Navy Officers' Pension Fund (the "MNOPF Scheme") and is in the UK. These generally have assets held in separate trustee administered funds which are legally separated from the Group.

The board of a pension fund in the UK is required by law to act in the best interests of the fund participants and is responsible for setting certain policies (e.g. investment, contributions and indexation policies) and determining recovery plans if appropriate.

These defined benefit funds expose the Group to actuarial risks, such as longevity risk, currency risk, interest rate risk and market (investment) risk. In addition, certain multi-employer industry schemes the Group can be exposed to a pro-rata share of the credit risk of other participating employers.

From 1 December 2011, changes have been made to the benefits provided by the P&O UK scheme. These include a restriction to pay increases equal to the lower of Retail Price Index and 2.5% in a Scheme Year. This restriction is reflected in the pay increase assumption above and there is no allowance for promotional increases.

The assumptions for pensioner longevity under both the P&O UK scheme and the MNOPF scheme are based on an analysis of pensioner death trends under the respective schemes over many years.

For illustration, the life expectancies for the two schemes at age 65 now and in the future are detailed in the table below.

At 31 December 2013 the weighted average duration of the defined benefit obligation was 16.2 years (2012: 16.4 years).

Reasonably possible changes to one of the actuarial assumptions, holding other assumptions constant, would have increased the net defined benefit liability as at 31 December 2013 by the amounts shown below:

   26        Pension and post-employment benefits (continued) 

Where a surplus arises on a scheme in accordance with IAS19 and IFRIC14, the surplus is recognised as an asset only if it represents an unconditional economic benefit available to the Group in the future. Any surplus in excess of this benefit is not recognised in the statement of financial position. A minimum funding liability arises where the statutory funding requirements are such that future contributions in respect of past service will result in a future unrecognisable surplus.

The below table shows the movement in minimum funding liability on the MNOPF Scheme:-

P&O UK Scheme

Formal actuarial valuations of the P&O UK scheme are normally carried out triennially by qualified independent actuaries, the latest completed regular valuation report for the scheme being at 31 March 2010, using the projected unit credit method.

As a result of valuation P&O committed to regular monthly deficit payments from April 2011 of USD 1,060 thousand until November 2019.

In December 2007, as part of a process developed with the Group to de-risk the pension scheme, the Trustee transferred USD 1,600,000 thousand of P&O UK Scheme assets to Paternoster (UK) Ltd, in exchange for a bulk annuity insurance policy to ensure that the assets (in the Company's statement of financial position and in the Scheme) will always be equal to the current value of the liability of the pensions in payment at 30 June 2007, thus removing the funding risks for these liabilities.

Merchant Navy Officers' Pension Fund ("MNOPF")

The MNOPF Scheme is an industry wide multi-employer defined benefit scheme in which officers employed by companies within the Group have participated.

The scheme is divided into two sections, the Old Section and the New Section, both of which are closed to new members.

   26        Pension and post-employment benefits (continued) 

Merchant Navy Officers' Pension Fund ("MNOPF") (continued)

The Old Section has been closed to benefit accrual since 1978. The scheme's independent actuary advised that at 31 March 2012 the market value of the scheme's assets for the Old Section was USD 2,129,729 thousand, representing approximately 100% of the value of the benefits accrued to members. The assets of the Old Section were substantially invested in bonds and a bulk insured annuity contract.

The Group could not identify its share of the underlying assets and liabilities of the Old Section on a consistent and reasonable basis and is therefore accounting for contributions and payments to the Old Section under IAS 19 as if it were a defined contribution scheme.

The most recent formal actuarial valuation of the New Section was carried out as at 31 March 2012.

Following the valuation, the Trustee and employers have agreed contributions in addition to those arising from the 31 March 2003, 31 March 2006 and 31 March 2009 valuations which will be paid to the Section by participating employers over the period to 30 September 2023. These contributions include an allowance for the impact of irrecoverable contributions in respect of companies no longer in existence or not able to pay their share. The Group's aggregated outstanding contributions from these valuations are payable as follows 2014 USD 8,555 thousand, 2015 to 2020 USD 6,752 thousand per annum and 2021 to 2023 USD 1,288 thousand per annum.

The Trustee set the payment terms for each participating employer in accordance with the Trustee's Contribution Collection Policy which includes credit vetting.

The Group's share of the net deficit of the New Section at 31 December 2013 is estimated at 4.807%.

Merchant Navy Ratings' Pension Fund ("MNRPF")

The Merchant Navy Ratings' Pension Fund ("the MNRPF Scheme") is an industry wide multi-employer defined benefit pension scheme in which sea staff employed by companies within the Group have participated. The scheme has a significant funding deficit and has been closed to further benefit accrual.

The most recent formal actuarial valuation was carried out as at 31 March 2011.

Certain Group companies, which are no longer current employers in the MNRPF, had settled their statutory debt obligation and were not considered to have any legal obligation with respect to the on-going deficit in the fund. However, following a legal challenge by Stena Line Limited, the High Court decided that the Trustees could require all employers that had ever participated in the scheme to make contributions to fund the deficit. Although the Group appealed the decision, it was not overturned.

The Trustees notified these Group companies of their estimated share of the current deficit during December 2012 equating to 3.0%. The method of deficit allocation and the associated recovery plan has still to be approved by the court, however, based on this initial indication the Group has provided for this liability after an allowance for the impact of irrecoverable contributions in respect of companies no longer in existence or not able to pay their share. The net impact of USD 17,300 thousand (Restated) was reflected as an actuarial movement in the consolidated statement of other comprehensive income in 2012.

   (ii)        Sensitivity analysis 

A 10 percent strengthening of the USD against the following currencies at 31 December would have increased/ (decreased) consolidated income statement and consolidated statement of other comprehensive income by the amounts shown below. This analysis assumes that all other variables, in particular interest rates, remain constant. Furthermore, as each entity in the Group determines its own functional currency, the effect of translating financial assets and liabilities of the respective entity would mainly impact consolidated statement of other comprehensive income.

Fair value hierarchy

The table below analyses financial instruments carried at fair value, by valuation method (also refer to note 5 (v). The different levels have been defined as follows:

   --   Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities 

-- Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices)

-- Level 3: inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs)

   33        Contingencies 

(a) The Group has contingent liabilities amounting to USD 21,651 thousand (2012: USD 15,538 thousand) in respect of payment guarantees, USD 212,192 thousand (2012: USD 152,556 thousand) in respect of performance guarantees and USD 1,590 thousand (2012: 853 thousand) in respect of letters of credit issued by the Group's bankers. The bank guarantees and letters of credit are arising in the ordinary course of business from which it is anticipated that no material liabilities will arise.

(b) The Group has contingent liabilities in respect of guarantees issued on behalf of equity-accounted investees (refer to note 29).

(c) The Group through its 100% owned subsidiary Mundra International Container Terminal Private Limited ("MICT") has developed and is operating the container terminal at the Mundra port in Gujarat.

In 2006, MICT received a show cause notice from Gujarat Maritime Board ("GMB") requiring MICT to demonstrate that the undertaking given by its parent company, P&O Ports (Mundra) Private Limited, with regard to its shareholding in MICT has not been breached in view of P&O Ports being taken over by the Group (DP World).

Based on the strong merits of the case and on the advice received from legal counsel, management believes that the above litigation is unsubstantiated, and in management's view, it will have no impact on the Group's ability to continue to operate the port.

(d) Chennai Port Trust ("CPT") had raised a demand for an amount of USD 19,303 thousand (2012: USD 21,773 thousand) from Chennai Container Terminal Limited ("CCTL"), a subsidiary of the Company, on the basis that CCTL had failed to fulfil its obligations in respect of non-transhipment containers for a period of four consecutive years from 1 December 2003. CCTL had subsequently paid USD 10,313 thousand (2012: USD 11,633 thousand) under dispute in 2008. CCTL had initiated arbitration proceedings against CPT in this regard. The arbitral tribunal passed its award on November 26, 2012 ruling in favour of CCTL. However, CPT appealed against this order, which was upheld by Chennai High Court on 8 January 2014 and accordingly a provision has been recognised against the above receivable. CCTL lodged an appeal before the Division Bench of Madras High Court along with a stay petition on 31 January 2014. The Appeal was taken up for hearing and admitted on 3 February 2014. CPT also made a statement before the Court that no further action would be taken by CPT against CCTL. The Court has posted the matter for hearing on 15 April 2014.
