Interim Report 2012 CHINA SHIPPING DEVELOPMENT COMPANY LIMITED

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

  1. ANALYSIS OF INTERNATIONAL AND DOMESTIC SHIPPING MARKETS DURING THE REPORTING PERIOD

The Group is principally engaged in the cargo shipping business. Cargo shipping mainly consists of the shipment of oil and dry bulk cargoes (primarily coal and iron ore), both domestically along the coastal regions of the PRC, and internationally. Currently, the Group is also developing Liquefied Natural Gas (“LNG”) transportation business.

In the first half of 2012, the growth of the global economy slowed down, the global shipping market continued its downturn since 2011, and every market segments experienced a sustained turndown. However, with the continuous increase of the operating costs, the global shipping industry is in an uncommon situation with operational difficulties.

International bulk shipment had been affected by the serious imbalance between the supply and demand of shipping capacity, and therefore the international dry bulk shipping market experienced a sustained turndown. In the first half of 2012, the Baltic Dry Bulk Freight Rate Index (the “BDI”) averaged at 943 points, representing a drop of 31.3% as compared with the same period last year.

As for domestic coastal bulk shipment, it has been adversely affected by several factors such as sluggish demand for coal, increase of hydropower, increase of imported coal, relative high level of coal inventory and high rates of growth in new shipping capacity, hence the domestic coastal bulk shipment market experienced a sustained downturn in the first half of 2012. The Coastal Bulk Freight Index (“CBFI”) averaged at 1,133 points, representing a drop of 21.5% as compared with the same period last year, and the spot rates of the two important coal shipment routes, namely the one from North China to South China and the other one from North China to East China, both decreased over 30% as compared with the same period last year.

As for international oil shipment, affected by factors such as the slowdown of the Chinese economy, the European debt crisis and geopolitics, the global demand for crude oil slowed down and the international oil prices continued to fluctuate at high levels. On the other hand, the international oil shipment market experienced a sustained downturn as a result of increasing excess of international tanker capacity. The Baltic Dirty Tanker Index (“BDTI”) averaged at 775 points, down 4.3% compared with the same period last year. TheWorld Scale Index (“WS”) for the shipping route from the Middle East to Japan, being one of the freight rate indicators for VLCC, daily average was at 55 points for the first half of 2012, sustaining the similar level as compared with the same period last year.

For domestic coastal oil shipment, the onshore crude oil shipping volume, offshore oil shipping volume and the demand of imported crude oil trans-shipment decreased, and the competition of China coastal refined oil shipment intensified.

2. DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF OPERATIONS OF THE GROUP DURING THE REPORTING PERIOD

In the first half of 2012, faced with a severe downturn of the market environment, the Group actively developed market sales and enhanced safety management, made great efforts to further decrease operating costs, improve operating efficiency and adjust the fleet composition. As a result, the Group’s operating system worked normally and smoothly, maintaining an overall sound and steady development.

In the first half of 2012, the shipping volume achieved by the Group was 186.2 billion tonne-nautical miles, representing an increase of approximately 12.9% as compared with the same period last year, and the total turnover derived from shipment (after business tax and surplus, the same below) was approximately RMB5,615 million, representing a decrease of approximately 8.6% as compared with the same period last year. Cost of operations was approximately RMB5,851 million, representing an increase of approximately 11.2% as compared with the same period last year. Loss attributable to owners of the Company was approximately RMB495 million, representing a decrease of approximately 172.4% as compared with the same period last year, and basic loss per share was approximately RMB0.1455.

(1) Shipping business - Oil shipments

In the first half of 2012, the international oil shipping market continued to experience a downturn and competition in the domestic oil shipping market became more intense. Under these circumstances, the Group:

  • A. persisted to implement the “major clients and great co-operation” strategy, consistently implemented the co-operation strategy with major clients such as PetroChina, CNOOC and Sinopec. In the first half of 2012, the shipping volume and the revenue from cargo shipment of the three oil companies amounted approximately 70% of the oil shipping volume and revenue from oil shipment of the Group;

  • B. enhanced the marketing exploration striving to consolidate its existing market. In the first half of 2012, the market share taken by the Group in domestic crude oil market and offshore crude oil market decreased slightly, while the operating efficiency in international oil shipping market was better than our expectation in early 2012.

In the first half of 2012, the Group achieved a shipping volume of approximately 99.52 billion tonnenautical miles of oil shipment, representing an increase of approximately 7.8% as compared with the same period in 2011, and turnover achieved was approximately RMB2,832 million, representing a decrease of approximately 14.0% as compared with the same period in 2011. An analysis of the transportation volume and turnover in terms of cargo specie is as follows:

(2) Shipping business - Dry bulk shipments

A. Coal shipment

The Group insisted to focus on thermal coal contracts of affreightment (“COA contracts”) and actively expanded its customer base. The Group has signed domestic thermal coal contract of 43.65 million tons and international coal contract of 7.54 million tons for 2012. The COA rates was obviously higher than the spot market rates, though the total COA contract volume and benchmark rates both decreased as compare with those in 2011. In the first half of 2012, the market share of the Group (including its associated companies) in domestic coal shipping market reached 27.4%, representing an increase of 1.4% as compared with the same period last year.

B. Iron ore shipping business

Along with the very large iron ore carriers (“VLOCs”) being delivered successively, the Group currently owns a large ore shipment fleet with 8 VLOCs of 230,000 deadweight tons and 4 VLOCs of 300,000 deadweight tons. In the first half of 2012, the Group achieved a remarkable improvement in both the shipping scale and operating results of import iron ore. In the first half of 2012, 12 VLOCs achieved a turnover of approximately RMB638 million, with an operating gross margin of 30.1%, and became a growth highlight of the Group’s dry bulk operating activities.

In the first half of 2012, the Group achieved a shipping volume of approximately 86.72 billion tonne-nautical miles of dry bulk cargoes, representing an increase of approximately 19.3% as compared with the same period in 2011, and a turnover of approximately RMB2,782 million was achieved, representing a decrease of approximately 2.3% as compared with the same period in 2011.

The fuel cost incurred by the Group in the first half of 2012 was approximately RMB2,812 million, representing an increase of 18.4% as compared with the same period in 2011, accounting for 48.0% of the total operating cost. Such change was due to the significant increase of international oil prices as compared with the first half of 2011. The average price of Singapore 380CST fuel in the first half of 2012 increased by 10.6% as compared with the same period in 2011. The Group further enhanced its fuel saving, and in light of the total shipping turnover volume increased by 12.9% compared with the same period in 2011, the total fuel consumption of the Group amounted to 589,800 tons, representing an increase of 4.1% as compared with the same period in 2011. The fuel consumption per thousand nautical miles was 3.17 kg, representing a decrease of 7.8% as compared with that of the same period in 2011.

The Group’s depreciation expenses incurred in the first half year of 2012 amounted to approximately RMB695 million, representing a decrease of 17.1% as compared with that of the same period in 2011, accounting for 11.9% of the total operating costs. The Group has adopted the revised estimated useful life of vessels and the residual values of vessels effective from 1 January 2012, which resulted in a decrease of approximately RMB301 million of depreciation of the Group in the first half of this year.

The charter cost incurred by the Group in the first half of 2012 was approximately RMB327 million, representing an increase of 23.9% as compared with the same period in 2011, accounting for 5.6% of the total operating cost. As at 30 June 2012, the Group chartered in 10 vessels with a total capacity of 1,040,000 deadweight tonnes, including 4 tankers with a capacity of 750,000 deadweight tonnes and 6 bulk vessels with a capacity of 290,000 deadweight tonnes.

(4) Interests in the jointly-controlled entities’ results

In the first half of 2012, relying on the solid cargo resources of the counter investors, the jointlycontrolled entities’ operating results were relatively stable. The Group has recognised its profits in its jointly-controlled entities of approximately RMB152 million, representing a decrease of 7.4% as compared with the same period in 2011. The main reason for such change was due to the sustained downturn of the domestic dry bulk shipping market in the first half of 2012. The jointly-controlled entities of the Group are mainly engaged in domestic coal transportation, and thus their operating results were adversely affected to a certain degree. In the first half of 2012, the 5 jointly-controlled shipping companies achieved a shipping volume of 61 billion tonne-nautical miles, representing an increase of 31.3% as compared with the same period in 2011. The turnover achieved by the 5 jointly-controlled shipping companies in the first half of 2012 was approximately RMB3,179 million, with a net profit of approximately RMB281 million, representing a decrease of 14.2% and 9.1% respectively as compared with the same period in 2011.

As at 30 June 2012, the 5 jointly-controlled shipping companies owned 50 bulk vessels with a total capacity of 2,560,000 deadweight tonnes and 51 vessels under construction with the capacity of 2,320,000 deadweight tonnes.

The operating results achieved by the 5 jointly-controlled shipping companies in the first half of 2012 are as follows:

(5) Risk on foreign currency

The Group operates internationally and is exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from various currency exposures, primarily with respect to USD and Hong Kong Dollar (“HKD”) against RMB. Foreign exchange risk arises from future commercial transactions, and recognised assets and liabilities.

As at 30 June 2012, the Group’s foreign exchange liabilities mainly comprised secured bank loans equivalent to approximately RMB8,702,587,000 (31 December 2011: RMB7,788,252,000), unsecured bank loans equivalent to approximately RMB1,957,508,000 (31 December 2011: RMB1,861,916,000) and unsecured other borrowings equivalent to approximately RMB632,490,000 (31 December 2011: RMB Nil). In addition, the Company would pay dividend for H shares in HKD.

The Group does not have significant exposure to foreign exchange risk.

Given the increasing significance of the Group’s international shipping business, changes in exchange rates will have certain impact on the Group’s profitability. Therefore, the Group will further strengthen its efforts in monitoring and studying exchange rate fluctuations, and will actively implement effective measures to strive to avoid exchange rate fluctuation risks. Firstly, the Group will strive to break even USD for its operations. Secondly, the Group will conscientiously analyze and compare available financial instruments for averting exchange rate risks, so as to hedge and lock in financial costs, and to effectively protect against risks caused by exchange rate fluctuations.

(6) Contingent liabilities

Since the Group had been insured, all compensations will be borne by the insurance company. As at 30 June 2012, the Group is still in the process of settling all the issues concerned.

  • (ii) In January 2012, fuel leakage occurred in one of the Group’s tanker “Daiqing 75” during its voyage in Bohai Sea of the PRC.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS (Continued)

5. OUTLOOK AND HIGHLIGHTS FOR THE SECOND HALF OF 2012

In the second half of 2012, the growth of global economy will face a more complicated environment, as the European debt crisis is not expected to be solved promptly, and the international oil price is likely to rebound as a result of geopolitical situation in the Middle East. Meanwhile, PRC economic growth will slow down, and demand growth for oil and dry bulk shipment will also slow down. However, there are still a large number of orders for all types of vessels in the shipping market, and the relationship between market demand and supply is not expected to materially improve in the short term. As a result, it is estimated that the shipment market will continue to fluctuate at low levels.

As for oil shipment, the imbalance between market demand and capacity supply in the tanker market is expected to continue in the second half of 2012, and the slow down of tanker shipment will not turnaround again in the short term. For dry bulk shipment, since over one-third of the coastal shipment capacity operates both domestic coastal and international bulk shipment, the relationship between coastal market and international market is getting closer. It is expected that the coastal dry bulk market will follow the international bulk shipment market trend of different types of vessels and will maintain the situation of fluctuations at the lower end of the market.

The directors of the Company (“Directors”) believe that, during the second half of 2012, the prospects of the domestic and overseas shipping market in the PRC will remain grim and as such, it is expected that the Group will make a loss for the 9 month period ending 30 September 2012.

To cope with the current market situation, the Group will focus on the following works in the second half of 2012:

  • (1) Deepening the management and operating system reform, which is mainly shown as follows:

  • A. In the first half of 2012, the Company reorganised its dry bulk business and established China Shipping Bulk Carrier Co. Ltd, and China Shipping Bulk Carrier (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. As a result, an intensive and professional management platform has been set up, and the transfer of related assets, liabilities, personnel, business and management has also been completed. In the second half of 2012, the share transfer of each jointly-controlled entity, associate and investee company will be completed when conditions are met, and great efforts will be made in centralising the operations of the dry bulk vessels so as to build-up the “China Shipping Dry Bulk” brand.

  • B. In respect of the level of each of the professional companies, in order to further strengthen the marketing function, the marketing team and its ability will be fully consolidated, the marketing campaign will be strengthened and a marketing team with ability to breakthrough during the adverse condition will be established.

5. OUTLOOK AND HIGHLIGHTS FOR THE SECOND HALF OF 2012 (Continued)

  • C. Human resource system reform, strengthen personnel cultivation and all staff performance evaluation mechanism. The Group will strive to explore “Three Paths”, namely the path to cultivate ship and onshore personnel exchange, international operating management personnel cultivation path and young cadres career development path, in order to further enhance the standard of management of the Company. At the same time, the Group will intensify the performance evaluation mechanism and enhance its incentive system, with a view to train up the innovative sense, opportunity sense and crisis sense of the staff, as well as stimulate the enthusiasm of the staff to work hard.

  • (2) Continue to strengthen strategic cooperation with freight customers, consolidate and expand the Company’s transportation market shares for domestic and foreign trade, and reduce operation risks arising from freight rate fluctuations.

In recent years, the Company has actively and consistently implemented strategies of cooperation with major customers, established stable freight sources and achieved expansion in markets, seeking for transformation in its development approach. The Company will create strategic alliance between freight customers and ship owners actively through various means including increasing the formation of joint ventures continuously, entering into long-term COA contracts and increasing the utilization of dedicated berths, in order to maximize economies of scale in shipping capacity and increase the operation efficiency of vessels. For bulk shipments, the Company will continue to strengthen strategic cooperation with major customers such as Shenhua, Huaneng Power, Baosteel, Shougang, China Resources, Shenergy, Shanghai Electric Power and Guangzhou Holdings, and expand the size of shipping capacity within control through joint ventures and other means in order to increase the Group’s capability of control over the coastal electricity and coal transportation markets. For oil shipments, the Company will endeavor to consolidate its presence in coastal markets and strengthen its cooperation with large domestic and foreign petroleum companies to stabilize the basic freight sources, nurture a team of ocean shipping operation talents and enhance the overall efficiencies.

  • (3) Further strengthen its cost control system and enhancing cost effectiveness. In the second half of the year, the Group will continue strengthening its control over fuel costs, management and other fees, in order to prevent their rebound. Fuel costs are one of the Group’s major costs. The Group will continue to strengthen the management of energy-saving and the use of energy-saving technologies, implement the policy of economic speed and strive to control fuel costs.

  • (4) Strengthen the competitiveness of the fleet structure. With the expectation of the shipment market with continue to slow down, the Group will further eliminate the outdated and old vessels, on the basis of the disposal of 5 outdated vessels and old vessels in the first half of the year, we expected that 15 vessels will be eliminated in the second half of the year. The Group will adjust the fleet structure scientifically and reasonably to avoid expanding the fleet structure unreasonably and enhance the core competitiveness in the market.

  • (5) Actively progress in the LNG shipment business. Based on the basis of existing projects, The Group will persist to explore LNG shipment projects by capturing the long term co-operation relationship between the Group, PetroChina and Sinopec.

REPORT ON REVIEW OF INTERIM FINANCIAL INFORMATION

==> picture [208 x 117] intentionally omitted <==

TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF CHINA SHIPPING DEVELOPMENT COMPANY LIMITED (Established in the People’s Republic of China as a joint stock company with limited liability)

INTRODUCTION

We have reviewed the interim financial information set out on pages 24 to 60, which comprises the condensed consolidated statement of financial position of China Shipping Development Company Limited (the “Company”) and its subsidiaries (together referred to as the “Group”) as of 30 June 2012 and the related condensed consolidated statement of comprehensive income, statement of changes in equity and statement of cash flows for the six-month period then ended, and certain explanatory notes. The Main Board Listing Rules governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited requires the preparation of a report on interim financial information to be in compliance with the relevant provisions thereof and Hong Kong Accounting Standard (“HKAS”) 34 “Interim Financial Reporting” issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants. The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation and presentation of this interim financial information in accordance with HKAS 34.

Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this interim financial information based on our review and to report our conclusion solely to you, as a body, in accordance with our agreed terms of engagement and for no other purpose. We do not assume responsibility towards or accept liability to any other person for the contents of this report.

SCOPE OF REVIEW

We conducted our review in accordance with Hong Kong Standard on Review Engagements 2410, “Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity” issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants. A review of interim financial information consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Hong Kong Standards on Auditing and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

CONCLUSION

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the interim financial information is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with HKAS 34.

3. ESTIMATES

The preparation of interim financial information requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expense. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

In preparing the interim financial information, the significant judgements made by management in applying the Group’s accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those that applied to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2011, with the exception of changes in estimates that are required in determining the useful life of vessels and residual values (Note 11).

4. REVENUE AND SEGMENT INFORMATION

Segment information is presented by way of two segment formats: (i) on a primary segment reporting basis, by business segment; and (ii) on a secondary segment reporting basis, by geographical segment.

The Group’s operating businesses are structured and managed separately, according to the nature of their operations and the services they provide. Each of the Group’s business segments represents a strategic business unit that offers services which are subject to risks and returns that are different from those of the other business segments. The Group’s business segments are categorised as follows:

  • (a) oil shipment; and

  • (b) dry bulk shipment

  • coal shipment

  • iron ore shipment

  • other dry bulk shipment

8. TAX

(i) Hong Kong Profits Tax

Hong Kong profits tax was not provided for in the interim financial information as the Group did not have any assessable profits arising in Hong Kong during the six months period ended 30 June 2012 and 2011.

(ii) PRC Corporate Income Tax

On 16 March 2007, the National People’s Congress approved the Corporate Income Tax Law of the PRC (the “New CIT Law”). The Company is entitled to a preferential income tax rate of 18%-24% effective from 1 January 2008. The existing preferential tax rate currently enjoyed by the Company is gradually transited to the new standard rate of 25% over a five-year transitional period. Accordingly, PRC corporate income tax of the Company has been provided at the rate of 25% (2011: 24%) on the estimated assessable profits for the period.

Non-resident enterprises without an establishment or a place of business in the PRC or which have an establishment or a place of business in the PRC but which relevant income is not effectively connected with the establishment or a place of business in the PRC, will be subject to withholding tax at the rate of 10% (unless reduced by treaty) on various types of passive income such as dividends derived from sources within the PRC (the “New Tax Law”). The Group has already assessed the impact of the New Tax Law regarding this withholding tax and considered the New Tax Law would not have a significant impact on the results of operations and financial position of the Group.
