Notes:

  1. GENERAL INFORMATION
    The Company was established as a joint stock company with limited liability in the People's Republic of China (the "PRC") on 28 December 2000. The registered address and headquarters of the Company is at Haikou City, Hainan Province, the PRC. The Company's shares were listed on the main board of The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited on 18 November 2002. The Company and its subsidiaries (collectively "the Group") are mainly engaged in the operation of the Meilan Airport and certain ancillary commercial businesses at Haikou City, Hainan Province, the PRC. The parent company of the Company is Haikou Meilan International Airport Co., Ltd. ("Haikou Meilan"), an enterprise established in the PRC with limited liability.
    HNA Group Co., Ltd. ("HNA Group") is a significant shareholder of Haikou Meilan. In 2020, the liquidity risk of HNA Group increased. On 10 February 2021, the Hainan High People Court ruled on the acceptance of the restructuring of HNA Group and other companies totalling 7 companies, HNA Infrastructure Investment Group Co., Ltd. ("HNA Infrastructure") and its 20 subsidiaries ("HNA Infrastructure Restructuring"), Hainan Airlines Holding Co., Ltd. ("Hainan Airlines") and its 10 subsidiaries ("Hainan Airlines Restructuring"). On 13 March 2021, the Hainan High People Court ruled on the acceptance of the substantial consolidated restructuring of HNA Group and its related companies totaling 321 companies (the "HNA Group Substantial Consolidated Restructuring"). Haikou Meilan, HNA Airport Holdings (Group) Co., Ltd. (an significant associate of the Company, hereinafter referred to as "HNA Airport Holdings") and other companies with daily business transactions with the Group have been included in the above restructuring. As of the date of these financial statements, the operation of the Group is stable.
    These financial statements are authorized for issue by the Board on 28 April 2021.
  2. BASIS OF PREPARATION AND SIGNIFICANT CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The financial statements are prepared in accordance with the Accounting Standard for Business Enterprises

  • Basic Standard, the specific accounting standards and other relevant regulations issued by the Ministry of Finance on 15 February 2006 and in subsequent periods (hereafter collectively referred to as "the Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises" or "CASs"). The new Hong Kong Companies Ordinance was effective on 3 March 2014. Certain notes to the financial statements have been disclosed in accordance with the requirements of the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance.

As at 31 December 2020, the Group recorded net current liabilities of approximately RMB6.24 billion, short-term borrowings and current portion of non-current liabilities of RMB0.38 billion and RMB2.83 billion respectively, cash and cash equivalents of RMB0.26 billion. Current portion of non-current liabilities included mainly syndicated loan of RMB1.94 billion and amounts due to related parties of RMB0.84 billion.

- 6 -

The Company and Haikou Meilan are jointly constructing Meilan Airport Phase II Expansion Project (the "Phase II Expansion Project"). Haikou Meilan as the borrower and the Company as the co-borrower have obtained a syndicated loan (the "Syndicated Loan") with a total facility of RMB7.8 billion and maturity of 20 years which is specifically for financing the construction of the Phase II Expansion Project. Haikou Meilan and the Company jointly undertake the repayment obligation for each loan drawn down under the Syndicated Loan Agreement and are jointly and severally liable for the repayment of the Loan (the "Joint Repayment Commitment"). As of 31 December 2020, the draw-down of the Syndicated Loan totalled to approximately RMB5.18 billion, of which Haikou Meilan has drawn down RMB3.24 billion and the Company has drawn down RMB1.94 billion. As of 31 December 2020, Haikou Meilan has triggered the event of default of the Syndicated Loan. Furthermore, as HNA Group and its certain related parties including Haikou Meilan were not able to settle their debts in due course and were insolvent as a whole and these companies are highly mixed, Hainan Higher People Court ruled on the acceptance of the substantial consolidated restructuring of Haikou Meilan, HNA Group and its related companies totalling 321 companies on 13 March 2021 (the "HNA Group Substantial Consolidated Restructuring") ("Haikou Meilan's Defaults"). Haikou Meilan's Defaults resulted in the loan syndicate has the right to request, at any time, the Company as the co-borrower to undertake the Joint Repayment Commitment to repay the Syndicated Loan drawn down by Haikou Meilan amounting to RMB3.24 billion as of 31 December 2020, after the payment the Company has the right to request reimbursement from Haikou Meilan. Haikou Meilan's Default has also resulted in the loan syndicate has the right to request the Company to early repay the principal and interest of Syndicated Loan drawn down by the Company amounting to RMB1.94 billion as of 31 December 2020 and suspend the remaining loan facility of RMB1.96 billion to the Company. The Group has reclassified the Syndicated Loan drawn down by the Company of RMB1.94 billion which is originally due for repayment after 31 December 2021 to current portion of non-current liabilities, and recognised "credit impairment loss - Joint Repayment Commitment loss" of RMB0.189 billion in respect of the expected credit loss of the aforementioned Joint Repayment Commitment for the year ended 31 December 2020. As of the date of these financial statements, the Company and Haikou Meilan have not obtained the written waiver from loan syndicate, and have not received request from loan syndicate requiring the Company to repay the Syndicated Loan or undertake the Joint Repayment Commitment.

A short-term bank loan of the Company amounting to RMB380 million has not been repaid in due course in November 2020 (the "Overdue Debt") and constituted an event of default of the bank loan. As of the date of these financial statements, the Company has not yet obtained a written waiver from the bank in respect of the Overdue Debt.

The Company received arbitration application requiring the Company to pay a compensation for the damage in a maximum amount of HK$6.962 billion in respect of the H shares subscription agreement entered into in prior year (the "Arbitration Case"). Management is of the view that the Company has no breach of contract as claimed by the applicant and the damage claimed by the applicant will not be supported by the arbitration center. As of 31 December 2020, the Company has not made any provision for this contingency.

The Overdue Debt and Arbitration Case have also constituted events of default of the Syndicated Loan.

As of 31 December 2020, the Company's payables to related parties totalled to RMB1.15 billion, including other payables of RMB0.31 billion and current portion of non-current liabilities of RMB0.84 billion, these payables have no specific repayment terms. As these related parties have been included in HNA Group Substantial Consolidated Restructuring, the Company may be required to settle these payables immediately. As of the date of these financial statements, the Company has not received request to repay these payables.

- 7 -

The above events or circumstances indicate the existence of a material uncertainty which may cast significant doubt over the Group's ability to continue as a going concern.

The directors of the Company have carefully considered the progress of the HNA Group Substantial Consolidated Restructuring, the Group's future working capital, operation results and available sources of financing so as to assess whether the Group has sufficient working capital and sources of financing to meet its current requirement and continue as going concern for at least of 12 months from 31 December 2020. The Group is trying to take certain measures to improve its financial position and cash flow status, including but not limited to:

  1. Haikou Meilan has submitted an application to the administrator of HNA Group Substantial Consolidated Restructuring (the "Restructuring Administrator") to apply for Hainan High People Court to approve the Syndicated Loan Agreement as a continuing contract. The Company, Haikou Meilan and the Restructuring Administrator are negotiating with the loan syndicate to grant the waiver the aforementioned events of default. Management is of the view that the application of the Syndicated Loan Agreement as continuing contract can be approved by the court and the HNA Group Substantial Consolidated Restructuring can be completed. Based on this preassumption, management is of the view that the loan syndicate will waive of the events of default and will not require the Company to settle the principal and interest of the Syndicate Loan drawn down by Haikou Meilan of RMB3.24 billion or early repay the principal and interest of the Syndicate Loan drawn down by the Company of RMB1.94 billion and will continue to grant the remaining facility of the Syndicate Loan according to the Syndicate Loan Agreement.
  2. In respect of the Overdue Debt, the Company is negotiating with the bank and has obtained a letter of intent from the bank in March 2021. Considering the original loan agreement is overdued and will be withdrawed, the bank is planning to extend the whole loan by entering into a new long-term loan agreement with the Company. The new loan agreement is subject to the final approval of the bank. Management is of the view that the loan can be renewed and extended under reasonable condition and the Company can continuously fulfil the covenants during the extended loan period.
  3. In respect of the payables to related parties, although the HNA Group Substantial Consolidated Restructuring is in progress, the Company has proposed a by-instalment repayment schedule to the Restructuring Administrator. Management is of the view that HNA Group Substantial Consolidated Restructuring will be successfully completed, the repayment schedule can be approved by the Restructuring Administrator and the related creditors' meeting of HNA Group.
  4. In respect of the Arbitration Case, the arbitration is in early stage as of the date of these financial statements, and the two parties are preparing information for submission to arbitration center. The Company will raise a strong defense. Management is of the view that the matters claimed by the applicant will not be supported by the arbitration center and the Company will not be required to pay the damage.

- 8 -

  1. During the year, Haikou Meilan has obtained the funding from local government sourced from the local government bonds offering and paid the construction fee of the Company amounting to RMB100 million which has been recognised as other payables of the Company. Haikou Meilan and the Company continuously discussed with Hainan Provincial Government about the continuous sources of funding for the Phase II Expansion Project. Management is of the view that the Company can obtain continuous fundings to finance the construction of the Phase II Expansion Project. As of the date of these financial statements, the construction of the Phase II Expansion Project is in good progress, management anticipate the Phase II Expansion Project will be completed and put into use in the year ending 31 December 2021.
  2. Although being affected by Covid-19 epidemic, the airport operation businesses of the Group have achieved a stable and continuous improvement in the second half of 2020. Management estimated the Group's airport operation businesses will continue to grow by comparing the year of 2020 and generate stable operating cash inflow.

The Board has reviewed the Group's cash flow forecast for the 12 months from the date of these financial statements prepared by the management of the Company. The Board is of the view that the Group will have sufficient working capital to meet its financial obligations as and when they fall due within the next 12 months from 31 December 2020. Accordingly, the Board is of view that it is appropriate to prepare these financial statements on a going concern basis.

Notwithstanding, significant uncertainty exists as to whether the Group is able to achieve its plans and measures as described above. Whether the Group will be able to continue as a going concern would depend upon the following:

  1. Whether the Syndicated Loan Agreement will be approved by the court as a continuing contract and whether the HNA Group Substantial Consolidated Restructuring can be successfully completed. Based on this preassumption, whether Haikou Meilan and the Company can obtain the loan syndicate's waiver in respect of the aforementioned events of default and then the Company is not required to early repay the principal and interest of the Syndicate Loan drawn down by the Company of RMB1.94 billion or settle the principal and interest of the Syndicate Loan drawn down by Haikou Meilan of RMB3.24 billion and the loan syndicate will continue to grant the remaining facility of the Syndicate Loan according to the Syndicate Loan Agreement.
  2. In respect of the Overdue Debt, whether the bank will approve the extension of the loan by entering into a new long-term loan contract and whether the Company can continuously fulfil the loan covenants during the extended loan period.
  3. In respect of the payables to related parties, whether the Company's proposed repayment schedule can be approved by the Restructuring Administrator and the related creditors' meeting of HNA Group.
  4. In respect of the Arbitration Case, whether the Company will not be required to pay the damage as claimed by the applicant.
  5. Whether the Company can continue to obtain fundings to finance the construction of the Phase II Expansion Project and settle the construction fee payables, and whether the project will be completed and put into use according to the schedule.

- 9 -

  1. Whether the Group's airport operation businesses will continue to grow according to the management's forecast and generate stable operating cash inflow.

Should the Group be unable to operate as a going concern, adjustments would have to be made to reduce the carrying values of the Group's assets to their recoverable amounts, to provide for further liabilities which might arise, and to reclassify non-current assets and non-current liabilities as current assets and current liabilities, respectively. The effect of these adjustments has not been reflected in these financial statements.

3. REVENUE AND SEGMENT INFORMATION

The chief operating decision-maker of the Group has been identified as the Executive Directors and senior management led by the chairman of the Company. The management reviews the Group's internal reporting in order to assess performance and allocate resources. The management has determined the operating segments based on these reports. The management considers the Group conducts business within one business segment operations of the Meilan Airport and provision of services in connection with the airport operations and the Group also operates within one geographical segment because its revenues are primarily generated from and its assets are located in the PRC.

EXTRACT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT

The below sections set out an extract of the report by PricewaterhouseCoopers ZhongTian LLP, the auditor of the Company, regarding the consolidated financial statements of the Group for the year ended 31 December 2020.

Our Qualified Opinion

In our opinion, except for the possible effects of the matter(s) described in the Basis for Qualified Opinion section of our report, the accompanying financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company and its subsidiaries (the "Group") and the Company as at 31 December 2020, and their financial performance and cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with the requirements of Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises ("CASs").

Basis for Qualified Opinion

As disclosed in notes 2(27)(b)(iii) and note 8(6)(c) to the accompanying financial statements, Haikou Meilan International Airport Co., Ltd. (the parent company of the Company, hereinafter referred to as "Haikou Meilan") and the Company have obtained a syndicated loan (the "Syndicated Loan"). Haikou Meilan is the borrower and the Company is the co-borrower, the Company and Haikou Meilan jointly undertake the repayment obligation for each loan drawn down under the Syndicated Loan and are jointly and severally liable for repayment of the loan ("Joint Repayment Commitment"). Up to 31 December 2020, Haikou Meilan has accumulated drawn down RMB3.24 billion from the Syndicated Loan and triggered the default clause of the Syndicated Loan. On 13 March 2021, Hainan High People Court ruled on the acceptance of the substantial consolidated restructuring of HNA Group Co., Ltd. (hereinafter "HNA Group") together with Haikou Meilan and other companies totalling 321 companies (hereinafter "HNA Group Substantial Consolidated Restructuring"). In view of these, management of the Company estimated the loan syndicate may require the Company to undertake the Joint Repayment Commitment to settle the loans drawn down by Haikou Meilan in full, and after the payment the Company has the right to claim reimbursement from Haikou Meilan. The Company has accordingly made a provision of "credit impairment loss - loss of Joint Repayment Commitment" of RMB189 million for 2020 and recognised "other current liabilities - Joint Repayment Commitment" of RMB189 million as of 31 December 2020.

- 36 -

When estimating the expected credit loss of Joint Repayment Commitment, the Company adopted certain key assumptions, including whether the loan syndicate will require the Company to repay the syndicated loan drawn down by Haikou Meilan in full, the effectiveness of the pledge of the Meilan Airport Phase II Expansion Project held by Haikou Meilan, the probability of successful completion of HNA Group Substantial Consolidated Restructuring and creditor settlement rate under various scenario. As of the date of this report, the HNA Group Substantial Consolidated Restructuring is still in progress, whether the restructuring can be completed and the result of the restructuring are uncertain, we are not able to obtain relevant supporting information in respect of the aforementioned key assumptions, including basis of estimating the loan syndicate will require which party to repay the loan, legal opinion or court judgement in respect of the effectiveness of the pledge of Meilan Airport Phase II Expansion Project held by Haikou Meilan, the detailed plan of HNA Group Substantial Consolidated Restructuring, the recent financial position of the companies included in HNA Group Substantial Consolidated Restructuring as a whole, the result of declaration of the creditor's right and other relevant information of HNA Group Substantial Consolidated Restructuring. There are no alternative audit procedures we can perform to obtain sufficient and appropriate audit evidences to determine whether any adjustment is necessary in respect of the "credit impairment loss - loss of Joint Repayment Commitment" and "other current liabilities - Joint Repayment Commitment" in the consolidated and company financial statements and the amount of the adjustment, if any, and the related disclosure of sensitivity analysis of the aforementioned uncertainties.

We conducted our audit in accordance with China Standards on Auditing ("CSAs"). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our qualified opinion.

We are independent of the Company in accordance with the Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants of the Chinese Institute of Certified Public Accountants ("CICPA Code"), and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the CICPA Code.

- 37 -

Material Uncertainty Related to Going Concern

We draw your attention to note 2(1) to the accompanying financial statements, which states that as of 31 December 2020, the Group recorded a net current liabilities of RMB6.24 billion, short-term borrowings and current portion of non-current liabilities of RMB380 million and RMB2.83 billion respectively, cash and cash equivalents of RMB260 million. As Haikou Meilan has triggered the default clause of the Syndicated Loan as of 31 December 2020 and Hainan High People Court has ruled on the acceptance of the substantial consolidated restructuring of HNA Group together with Haikou Meilan and other companies totalling 321 companies on 13 March 2021, which resulted in the loan syndicate has the right to and may request, at any time, the Company as the co-borrower to undertake the Joint Repayment Commitment to settle the principal and interest of the Syndicated Loan drawn down by Haikou Meilan amounting to RMB3.24 billion as of 31 December 2020, request the Company to early repay the principal and interest of the Syndicated Loan drawn down by the Company amounting to RMB1.94 billion as of 31 December 2020 and suspend offering the remaining loan facility to the Company. The Company has incurred Overdue Debt and Arbitration Case in the year ended 31 December 2020 which also constituted events of default of the Syndicated Loan. Furthermore, the Company had amounts due to related parties of RMB1.15 billion as of 31 December 2020. As these related parties have been included in the HNA Group Substantial Consolidated Restructuring, the Company may be required to settle these payables immediately. These matters, together with other matters set forth in Note 2(1) in the accompanying financial statements, indicate the existence of a material uncertainty which may cast significant doubt over the Group's ability to continue as a going concern. Our audit opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.

Other Information

Management of the Company is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises all of the information included in 2020 annual report of the Company other than the financial statements and our auditor's report thereon.

Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.

If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. As described in the section of "Basis for Qualified Opinion", we are unable to obtain sufficient and appropriate audit evidence in respect of the provision for the expected credit loss of the Joint Repayment Commitment of the Syndicated Loan drawn down by Haikou Meilan. Accordingly, we are unable to conclude whether or not the other information is materially misstated with respect of this matter.
